I chose the U1 as the controller module and the U2 as the LoRa module. The seven button inputs are SW1 through SW7, with the plan to use ESP32 internal pull-ups. The power entry is J1, LoRa decoupling is C2 and C3, and the 5 V bulk capacitor is C1.

The schematic is now wired with the fixed ESP32 to LoRa map, the seven grounded push buttons, the 5 V input, and the optional expansion headers. I kept SW7 on GPIO12 as requested, but avoided adding any extra pull resistor or load on that net because GPIO12 is a boot strap pin on the ESP32 and should stay low or floating at boot for reliable startup.
