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.
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.
