Roll back failed password and advert changes, propagate identity-store results, and report unsaved common and observer settings. Correct observer filter persistence and KISS OTA capability claims. Add fault-injection and packaging regressions.
Read identities up to three times before allowing replacement, publish only complete reads, and require new startup keys to be saved with bounded retries.
Use authoritative replay-file metadata throughout persistence and clock recovery. Validate setperm input before narrowing or mutating roles, and add production-path regression coverage.
Recover usable ESP32 preferences and channels before permitting replacement; keep identity and ACL persistence transactional and complete.
Preserve MQTT commit boundaries, restore OTA identity and policy after deferred allocation, retain radio gain retries, and reject invalid flood limits. Add production-path fault regressions and CI coverage.
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.
Retain same-IP replies and park one displaced IP backlog for 30 seconds using existing fixed buffers. Cancel old route-owned operations on takeover, preserve partial TCP frames, and cover reconnect isolation and queue limits with regression tests.
Preserve resumed nRF52 flash pages and keep filtered OTA catalogs incomplete until full pages arrive. Bound stuck radio preparation, report companion setting failures, retain safe rollback, and codify conservative advert penalties with regression tests.
Keep each deferred OTA response tied to the request's radio profile and generation. Separate requests from different radio sessions, discard stale queued responses, and retain the existing companion and infrastructure reply policies.
Reject staged captures with invalid file framing before adopting their state. Recover fixed internal-flash trailer bytes after interrupted checkpoints and handle small ESP32 delta trailers that share metadata sectors. Fail closed when install preflight cannot read a valid header, so hardware and automatic-update policy checks cannot be skipped.
Replace Companion preferences through verified file transactions and quarantine writes after incomplete loads on all platforms. Initialize serializer runtime fields before preferences snapshots copy them.
Add production-code fault regressions to CI for deferred routing, store recovery, install preflight, and preferences persistence. Validation: 1,510 native tests, 60 host checks, and six firmware targets across ESP32, nRF52, STM32, and RP2040.
Reject radio changes when receive mode cannot resume and restore the previous physical profile and power policy. Preserve selected folder OTA captures across disconnects and recoverable host I/O failures, while keeping corruption failures distinct. Validate OTA staging input before arithmetic or buffer writes and revoke published data before edits.
Commit companion channels through verified file replacement on ESP32, RP2040, and STM32, and quarantine incomplete startup reads. Recheck the last management connection during delayed wireless changes and prevent conflicting Bluetooth shutdowns. Detect complete OTA implementation sources rather than the shared inflater when configuring release builds.
Add fault-injection regressions and CI coverage for these paths, and document folder capture reconnect behavior.
Validation: 1,510 native tests; 55 host integration checks; build profile regressions; ESP32, nRF52, STM32, and RP2040 firmware builds.
Keep catalog, manifest and leaf requests pending when the local transmit
queue rejects them instead of spending their network retry allowance.
Keep the packet selected before CAD so work becoming due during sensing
cannot bypass its own channel or pacing checks. Retire cancelled radio
retries before waiting for BUSY hardware or their retry deadline.
Wait for active transmission completion before applying firmware. Stop
admitting new transmissions after the apply drain deadline so busy queues
cannot postpone reboot indefinitely, and keep those deadlines armed across
millis rollover. Retain the existing persistence-flush backoff.
Add failing-before/fixed-after regression coverage for all four issues,
including the production OTA apply and TX guards in CI.
Validation: 1,496 native tests, 42 Python integration tests, and five
firmware builds passed across ESP32-S3, nRF52, and STM32 targets.
Add get/set ota.speed and OTA CLI aliases for factors from 0.05 to 3,
defaulting to the existing pace. Persist the setting independently of the
OTA workspace and apply it to OTA packet pacing, relays, discovery and
adverts while retaining the configured airtime budget.
Preserve physical proof/retry allowances, account for both participating
radio profiles, keep optional deadlines armed across millis rollover, and
exclude intentional pacing from observer stale-packet age. Keep local
verification at its normal rate and retain a valid saved speed if backup
recovery cannot finish. Add documentation and CI regression coverage.
Validation: 1,491 native tests and 26 CLI/integration tests passed. Built
ESP32 full repeater, ESP32 full Companion, nRF52 full Companion and STM32
USB Companion successfully, including their memory/size checks.
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.
Add get bluetooth and set bluetooth on|off, with ble aliases. Require another
active management connection before disabling Bluetooth unless off has a
trailing force argument. Keep the toggle local to the current boot.
Drain Bluetooth replies before disconnecting and recheck the remaining
connection before applying a normal shutdown. Enabling Bluetooth cancels a
pending shutdown. Document the commands and add compiled regression coverage
to CI for native USB, HWCDC, UART, network clients, force, and timer rollover.
Validation: CLI, Bluetooth, and USB regression tests passed. XIAO ESP32-S3
and RAK4631 Full Companion builds passed RAM, flash, and capability checks.
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.
Allow four additional RX preamble symbols without reducing the payload timeout. Exercise receive deadlines and OTA pending-work behavior, run the omitted radio and contact tests in CI, and ignore local lab credentials and transient files.
Support fractional seconds, guard active packet work, keep the MCU awake, and restore reception after carrier tests. Include regression coverage and independent-radio RF validation for the V4 and T1000-E.
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.
Use RX-only radio recovery and feed the repeater reboot watchdog after MeshCore parsing. Default to 24 hours, apply temporary watchdog and advert intervals in RAM, and report temporary durations as days, hours, and minutes. Add regression coverage and an ESP-NOW bridge setup guide.
Integrate ExpressLRS TX module support and its stacked ESP32 heap changes.
Use the approved Linkflow calibration (17-30 dBm), preserve the PA drive
and output path after radio recovery, and keep LoRa OTA enabled.
Preserve stored ACLs and filters on allocation failure, release owned
client/filter buffers, service heap OTA contexts on Companions, release
self-serving workspaces after TempRadio, and reset staged-resume state
when a context is released. Keep manual staging and active operations
alive. Account for all moved allocations in the runtime RAM gate.
Validation: 1,393 native cases; radio-power, heap-context, ACL persistence,
shared-queue transfer, display/inbox, radio receive, and memory regressions.
Firmware builds passed for Linkflow, Heltec V2 Companion, T-Beam MQTT
repeater, Heltec V4 R8 MQTT repeater, RAK4631 repeater, and Indicator Full.
Physical verification awaits access to the currently offline lab Pi.
Default to retained history with a separate pending count, and add persistent display.inbox CLI modes for history, pending, and unread. Preserve browsing while clients are connected and show the active USB or Bluetooth connection.
Fixes#5
Persist separate display modes and timeouts in seconds for battery and USB power, expose four controls in WebConfig and CLI, and apply one shared policy across display-equipped roles.
Detect R8 external power from a USB host or calibrated battery voltage above 4.21 V, with cached sampling and hysteresis. Add policy, persistence, browser, and R8 power-detection regression coverage.
Keep stealth separate from custom, saved-random and rotating MAC policies without migrating the development MAC mode. Persist authenticated peer state, guard advertising transitions and recovery, and expose the setting through the CLI and WebConfig.
Add regression and CI checks and record exact XIAO BLE pairing, reconnect, reboot and address-rotation hardware results.
Both channels move together so a node comparing its embedded base against
its own channel's manifest does not read as permanently behind.
Resets the per-base build counter to N=1 on both channels. Nodes still on
v1.17.0.N take the diff_base branch in ESP32Board's OTA comparison, so the
counter going backwards does not strand them.
Both channels move together: the beta workflow's FIRMWARE_VERSION must equal
production's, since a node compares its embedded base against its own channel's
manifest and a mismatch would read as permanently behind.
Resets the per-base build counter to N=1 on both channels. Nodes still on
v1.16.0.N take the diff_base branch in ESP32Board's OTA comparison ('different
base version is always an update'), so the counter going backwards does not
strand them; the build-number arithmetic only runs when the base matches.
The flasher repo's config.json version key still needs the matching bump.
The flasher's /webconfig page frames webui/index.html — the real page this
firmware serves — and runs it against a browser simulator, so visitors drive the
actual product rather than looking at screenshots of it. That only stays true if
the page travels with the docs, so it joins the .md files this workflow already
syncs, and the flasher's build-webconfig-demo.py re-injects the simulator.
Triggers on webui/index.html alongside the existing markdown paths. Still gated
on observer-firmware, so nothing publishes until the portal CLI reaches the
release channel at v1.17.0; the flasher carries a hand-copied page until then.
