Distinguish OTA read failures from missing blocks and select unique raw-flash checkpoints by MID and target. Keep deferred CLI requests and replies bound to immutable command identity and full authenticated keys.
Gate radio mutations on their exact reply delivery, recover coding-rate restoration, and roll back failed Companion preference writes. Preserve accepted low duty cycles across reboot.
Retain partial network writes, cancel displaced client operations, and reject malformed or stalled framed input. Add regression and CI coverage, and size-optimize the RAK4631 Ethernet build without dropping features.
Persist Companion TX preferences per contact and channel. Default repeater,
room, and sensor replies to both active TX profiles, with a reply-only force
option for an RX-only secondary profile. Track both reply copies before a
temporary-radio handoff and account for OTA copies under queue backpressure.
Add bridge/crossover filter modes and the third built-in wardriving filter,
plus compact filter CLI syntax, documentation, and CI coverage.
Fix quoted target names being interpreted as slot/key selectors, partial
recovery of invalid saved reply settings, filter suspension during tempradio2,
and unnecessary packet allocation while OTA traffic is throttled.
Validation: 1,477 native tests, 52 Python integration tests, 29 filter UI tests,
and five firmware builds covering ESP32, nRF52, and STM32 passed.
Skip redundant modulation writes during owned fast RX retunes when the last
acknowledged SF/BW/CR/LDRO tuple matches. Invalidate that cache after ordinary
setters, failed writes, and lifecycle changes.
Include the remaining scan, preamble, settling, and memory-soak experiments,
their collectors, validation notes, and original capture records. Preserve
capture bytes across checkouts and keep private soak credentials local.
Run lab collector and compiled contract tests in CI. Update the expectation,
profile mapping, and result-buffer tests for the extended lab tools, and make
the private WiFi override header optional for ordinary soak diagnostics.
Validation: 145 host tests passed from the staged source snapshot. Clean
heltec_v4_repeater and Xiao_S3_WIO_companion_radio_usb builds passed their
RAM/flash gates. All 229 staged capture files retain their original bytes;
all 75 local documentation links resolve in the clean snapshot.
Keep TCXO warm during owned dual-profile retunes, batch modulation setup, and enable guarded fast RX with buffered 8 MHz SPI on XIAO S3 WIO and Indicator LoRa. Preserve lifecycle invalidation, packet guards, rollback, and existing scheduling budgets.
Add reliable sequence-scoped USB lab transport, native regression coverage, bounded channel and preamble diagnostics, and byte-exact measurement records including failed experiments and qualification limits.
Implement radio2, tempradio2, radioat2 and tempradioat2 across Mesh roles,
with RX-only/RX+TX operation, optional preambles and persistent cross-TX
policy. Keep temporary OTA traffic on its profile by default and maintain
independent retry ownership and backoff for each profile.
Use slow-first receive scanning with 4.8-symbol visits and automatic
preambles rounded up in steps of eight. Preserve pending RX, restore power
saving on exit, and discard work bound to changed or expired profiles.
Restore the infrastructure path.hash.mode setter and report unsupported
extra.sf settings consistently. Add CLI, scheduling, scan and retry tests,
setup documentation, and the V4/XIAO hardware validation results.
Validation: 1,422 native tests, eight KISS tests, 63 final focused profile
tests, 18 checks from the staged source, sanitizer-enabled OTA transfers,
and builds for V4 Mesh roles, Full XIAO Companion and nRF52 T1000-E.
Hardware checks cover reception, cross-TX policy, expiry, reboot and OTA
discovery while receiving main-channel adverts.
