Keep Companion and Terminal Chat profiles unchanged; retain full-sensor and reduced-sensor OTA builds. Add compact crypto and OTA names, qualified display asset compression, font license packaging, and scope regression tests.
Physical LG Android 5.1.1 testing found Chrome 43 could decode gzip but failed on the bootstrap's arrow syntax. Use ES5 functions and Promises while preserving retries, version refresh, and optional abort handling. Keep Google Zopfli gzip compression at 1,000 iterations.
Verified the flashed V4.3 through its WiFi link using the real Android browser: bootstrap and main page gzip responses completed, settings loaded at 910.525 MHz, and no JavaScript or transfer errors were reported. Add a loader syntax regression and document legacy browser support.
Keep the graceful final-ACK TCP close and optional FEM control guards from
pixitha's browser compatibility fixes. Replace Brotli negotiation and duplicate
page assets with one gzip representation compressed by Google Zopfli 0.4.3
using 1,000 iterations. Compress the bootstrap, captive success, compact OTA,
and static WiFi setup pages with the same validated build cache.
Honor gzip quality values and wildcard precedence. Validate compressed OTA
page evidence in the firmware capability gate, and add native and Python
regressions plus CI coverage. Remove the unused Brotli build dependency.
Validation: 54 native tests, 56 Python/browser checks, full V4.3 build and
verified application flash. Actual V4 WiFi responses matched the generated
gzip assets; 30 repeat downloads completed without reboot. Chromium loaded
the setup and settings pages without script or transfer errors. Physical
Android testing is pending because the Pi detects no phone over USB or mDNS.
Integrate PowerSaving-v17 through a27e78e4 (six new commits).
Use its 10-minute awake / 30-minute asleep companion GPS profile and
separate requested GPS state from receiver power in CLI diagnostics.
Include its nRF52 sensor debug-console settle delay and debug option.
Resolve overlapping GPS v2 changes using the current sensor callbacks,
which already implement live power-saving transitions, user-off control,
telemetry acquisition, wrap-safe sleep/wake timers and retained Airoha
RTC backup. Preserve preference persistence, telemetry cache/holds and
UART/shared-rail ownership safeguards across all four GPS drivers.
Add a compiled production GPS status regression test and run it in CI.
Validated 23 native GPS/power tests, preference and nRF52 pin contracts,
and firmware builds for T1000-E BLE Companion, MeshTracker X1 USB
Companion, Heltec Tracker Repeater, Mesh Solar Room and RAK4631 Sensor.
Use a bounded timed OTA forwarding cache while preserving echo, queue, TempRadio and forwarding-policy guards. Add opt-in manifest recovery for directly reachable legacy relays and interactive 125 kHz SF5/SF6/SF7 rehearsals, with regression tests and documentation.
Import Airoha GPS RTC backup sleep, 24 contact search results, and the T-Echo Lite USB companion target. Preserve existing GPS telemetry and power-saving controls, crypto alignment checks, ESP32 RTC recovery, and RAK11310 dynamic-preference compatibility.
Validate GPS sleep acknowledgments with their NMEA checksum and add six native regression tests covering retry, drain, corruption, grace timeout, and timer rollover.
Verified: 1648 native and KISS modem tests; targeted nRF52, companion routing, one-key DM, and clock checks; T1000-E BLE, MeshTracker X1 USB, and T-Echo Lite USB companion builds.
