Keep selected chats bound to full contact keys and route keyboard channel sends through the active transport. Deliver accepted plain, room and Meshtext messages to local history and notifications once; disarm rejected sends and retries.
Use shared live radio settings, GPS acquisition and power-saving policy, screen timers and red night palette. Report save failures, preserve verified custom preferences, and guard display controls and shutdown.
Add executable sanitizer regressions for routing, retries, selection, storage faults, UI lifecycle and GPS. Both Companion builds and the shared T-Deck regression pass; no physical Cardputer testing performed.
Integrate mjgodat's keyboard/display Companion, USB Companion, Repeater and
Room Server support for Cardputer-Adv with Cap LoRa-1262.
Fix UI retry dispatch and ACK ownership, packet/storage bounds, numeric
input validation, sparse channel selection, optional-display shutdown,
keyboard layout limits, reserved GPIOs and Windows cross-drive includes.
Retain all 350 contacts and queue capacity using the existing contact cache;
account for the custom UI's runtime allocations in the RAM admission gate.
Carry the MultiMote and DejaVu notices with firmware packages and add CI
coverage for all four board roles plus the shared T-Deck Companion.
Validation: all four Cardputer roles and the T-Deck BLE Companion build;
Cardputer sanitizer, UI, layout, ownership, licensing and storage tests;
65 RAM-policy tests and 14 contact-cache tests. PlatformIO ran serially.

New variant variants/m5stack_cardputer_adv for the Cardputer-Adv
(ESP32-S3, 8 MB) with the Cap LoRa-1262 (SX1262 + GNSS):
- Envs: companion_radio_ble, companion_radio_usb, repeater, room_server.
- Board: enables the Cap's antenna path via the PI4IOE5V6408 on the
internal I2C bus (Wire1, G8/G9); Wire stays on the Grove port. LoRa and
microSD share FSPI because the display owns SPI3. TCXO 1.8 V.
- Companion UI adapted from MultiMote/meshcore-cardputer-adv (MIT,
LICENSE.MultiMote), running on the standard companion so the USB
terminal CLI stays available. Contacts/identity stay in internal
SPIFFS; the microSD card is optional (chat history, keyboard layouts).
- Sticky Shift, one-shot Fn with Fn+letter shortcuts, top button (G0)
sends a flood advert, brightness control.
- Text size setting (Normal/Large/Extra large) with DejaVu Sans fonts
generated by tools/gen_vlw_font.py; layouts derive from the font size.
- Power save maps to the companion's powersaving pref; the UI vetoes
light sleep while the screen is on. Low-battery power-off at 3.4 V.
- win_long_cmdline.py: Windows-only -iprefix include shortening so the
ESP32 compile command stays under the 32,767-character limit.
Shared companion changes are guarded by CARDPUTER_ADV_UI: main.cpp
selects CardputerDataStore/CardputerUITask/CardputerMesh, and MyMesh.h
maps the_mesh to the subclass like the PSRAM storage path does.
Tested on hardware (910.525 MHz mesh): radio RX/TX, USB CLI, BLE, UI.

Omit unbound forwarding-region callbacks only for exclusive Companion source roles. Reuse the compact neighbor sorter in repeaters for every RPC order and the CLI list, removing duplicate sort implementations while preserving storage and size gates.
Place 32 existing retained frames in RTC FAST without changing the 224 normal or 128 active-OTA queue capacities. Keep the default backing layout unchanged for other boards and cover ownership, wraparound and OTA transfers.
Repeated preamble/header activity can keep a requested primary or TempRadio
change busy indefinitely. Bound unfinished-RX admission for accepted LR2021
changes while preserving completed packets, TX, BUSY and exclusive owners.
Ordinary scans and CAD keep their existing admission rules. Expose the failing
stage and native status through get radio.apply.
Add saved radio.xtrim capacitor calibration and measured radio.freqerror in
signed Hz from the last valid LoRa packet. Preserve native trim by default,
restore explicit calibration after resets/Morse, verify saves before applying,
wait two seconds for the acknowledgement, and roll back failed changes.
Calibration motivation and prior upstream work:
https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore/issues/3365https://github.com/recrof/MeshCore/tree/lr2021-trim
Packet-status format follows Semtech's LR20xx driver and RadioLib staging.
Tests execute production activity/admission and transaction paths with noisy
RX, completion races, protected owners, failed setters, RX restart and save
rollback. Physical W12 retuning and RF calibration still require confirmation.
Detect OLED or the original stock TFT touch assembly in ordinary V4.2/V4.3
images. Add saved live display.type auto/oled/tft/off selection and report
the active selection in board output. Keep sensors on primary I2C, preserve
shared power, and isolate TFT FSPI from radio HSPI through sleep and changes.
Consolidate future picker/build choices only with application capability
proof. Retain exact legacy OTA identities and separate R8 hardware images.
Document controls and physical qualification limits.
Validation: five serialized Full builds with capability/size/RAM checks;
focused host tests, existing R8/T-Deck/OLED regressions, build-profile suite,
and picker/provider tests. V4.3 OLED live changes and off/auto reboot
persistence passed on Mercerwood. Physical TFT qualification remains pending.
Temporarily disable incompatible cached side detectors while applying a temporary primary tuple, preserving their saved configuration for normal restoration. Use primary-only CAD while those detectors are suspended. Keep compatible temporary detectors and real hardware errors intact.
Report pending TempRadio starts instead of off, preserve live-tuple status during replacements and future schedules, and include the two-second delay in the accepted reply. Share primary validation to retain STM32 Mini flash capacity without dropping features.
Validated production CLI status, scheduler and persistence cases; LR2021 detector suspension, restoration, CAD and hardware-error paths; reply handoff, room/sensor recovery, Morse and OTA automation regressions. W12 repeater, room-server and sensor builds pass. Canonical STM32 Mini Repeater passes flash and runtime RAM admission with 436 bytes of flash remaining. Physical W12 RF testing remains unverified.
Persist set freq and set radio atomically, then apply through the existing safe radio scheduler without rebooting. Retain the old tuple until the delay and reply handoff finish, including queued room/sensor replies and TX-complete callbacks. End temporary sessions when accepting a permanent change.
Display applied RF settings even when radio2 is off. Share radio validation across immediate and scheduled setters to preserve STM32 Mini flash capacity. Update command documentation, regression coverage, and CI.
Validated production timing, persistence, display, CLI, fleet/reply, RX, sleep and Morse regressions. W12 repeater, room-server and sensor builds pass. Canonical STM32 Mini Repeater passes flash and RAM admission with 448 bytes of flash remaining. Physical W12 RF testing was not performed.
