Use the committed node credential for setup WiFi, WebConfig and browser OTA. Add persistent ESP32 WiFi Companion management credentials without changing preferences layouts, revoke stale browser sessions on rotation, retain scoped save receipts, and coordinate credential changes with flash uploads. Keep external-service credentials and trusted TCP protocol compatibility independent. Update live join QR codes, failure handling and documentation.
Validated 51 native cases, 158 related host and browser methods, and serial Full V4 Companion, Station G3 Repeater, ESP32-C6 Room Server and V4 Sensor firmware builds.
The Wi-Fi, LoRa first-stage and Partition Expander bridges serve an
unauthenticated /update behind an AP whose password was fixed and published,
so anyone in range during a migration could upload firmware while the private
key is staged. Use the old node's saved admin password as the WPA2
passphrase, read from /com_prefs or /node_prefs at offset 56 as the firmware
loads it. The operator already used that password to start the old updater.
Fall back to the published password, with a serial warning, when the saved
admin password is missing, unreadable, shorter than 8 characters or not
printable ASCII, so no node becomes unreachable. The legacy filesystem is
mounted without formatting and the password is never printed. Migration
admission, flash sequencing, /update gating and the USB bridge are unchanged.
Update both guides and the package README.
Add a sanitizer-backed host test that compiles the bridge's actual Wi-Fi
block against fake SPIFFS and WiFi: both boots, file precedence, WPA2 length
and terminator bounds, printable characters, stock 1.10/1.11 file sizes,
truncated fields, and mount, seek and partial-read failures. It fails 8 of 8
on the previous code and catches 27 of 27 code mutations. Verified 13 related
host test files and the esp32_s3_4mb_partition_migrator build.

Run DHCP and renewal in a cooperative worker, bound socket commands, and retain SPI ownership until cleanup is safe. Preserve framing deadlines, response ownership and whole-frame replay, including pending-ACK queue pinning.
Budget the worker additively and retain all OTA names with an exact-checked Full-only compact index. Add full-driver, sanitizer, queue, shutdown, storage and memory regression coverage.
Use a 960-byte constant-time Ed25519 base table, compact hash/scalar code and unused-library trims while retaining Reader, BLE P-256 and the 8 KiB stack. RAK4631 Full saves 57,496 flash bytes and 3,152 static RAM bytes versus preview3.
Support complete chapters and verse ranges with bounded app continuation replies and cooperative terminal output. Use nonblocking TCP writes under reader backpressure. Add scalar/signature comparisons and a linked ARM crypto/stack CI gate.
Validated clean RAK4631, T1000-E, T096 and V4 Full builds, host regressions, and physical RAK chapter/reconnect and signing comparisons. Physical signing averages 35.9 ms versus 14.4 ms with the original table.
Port Meshtext settings to verified atomic nRF52 storage and use the existing radio RNG and hardware entropy. Keep the ExtraFS boundary, GPS, contacts, channel count and 8 KiB stack unchanged; omit unused library data to fit the image. Require linked codec and Companion transport evidence and build the real RAK Full profile in CI. Add configuration and storage-failure regression coverage.
Replace the download-file shortcut approach with compact self-contained picker URLs under /p/. Preserve long-link compatibility, selected install formats, and full published firmware filenames. Cover selection round trips and the redirect in the picker tests.
Mirror pinned GitHub release bytes at shorter version-specific Pages URLs. Verify size, SHA-256 and firmware format before publishing, and preserve deployed alias identities across later site builds.
Add RAK4631 Full Companion 1.17.1.10 preview2 UF2 and native DFU ZIP aliases, a short-download directory, documentation and CI regressions. Existing flashing tools use the ZIP URL without losing board-family checks.
Validation: 16 short-link and Pages guard regressions, hosted-doc routing tests, firmware picker tests, full MkDocs build and exact UF2/ZIP byte checks.
Add opt-in bounded chat history, persist explicit room ACL roles, enforce full-key bans and per-user quotas, and provide versioned information-board reads plus an ESP32 local room page. Preserve stored evidence on faults and withhold room delivery acknowledgments when a Companion cannot retain the message.
Exercise production handlers and filesystem fault recovery, pinned official-app JavaScript, real Chromium interactions, and representative ESP32, nRF52, RP2040 and STM32 builds. Add regression suites and bounded browser-workspace RAM reservations to CI.
Reject truncated anonymous reply paths and advert metadata before copying,
while preserving timestamp-only empty-password logins. Limit room posting to
read-write/admin ACL roles, retain inbox frames until the requesting transport
accepts them, and lock raw LittleFS traversal against concurrent writes.
Separate ISR event generations from main-loop radio state. Confirm RX/TX IRQs,
detach concrete wrapper callbacks safely, and discard inconsistent LR2021 FIFO
snapshots before rearming. Preserve bridge RX frames through packet-pool
exhaustion and bound ESP-NOW retries and missing-callback recovery. Screen RTC
register layouts without losing DS1307 startup, and ignore poisoned future
contact timestamps during clock bootstrap.
Keep the nRF52 loop stack at 8 KiB while reducing the OTA listing call chain
from 7,832 to 6,056 static bytes. Retain all target names through lossless Full
Companion compression and the canonical size optimizer. Preserve constrained
STM32 filesystems and bind corrected ESP32 UART/OLED budgets to source size
assertions. Document the separately measured preexisting W12 package limits.
Adapted for this branch from meshcore-dev/MeshCore PRs #3521, #3340, #3362,
#2062, #3503, #3038, #3534, #3544 and #3512.
Validation: 1,829 native tests; sanitized parser, inbox, LittleFS, ACL, clock,
RTC, IRQ/FIFO and bridge fault tests; 332 additional Companion cases; real
RAK4631 Full and both repeater profiles, G2 Full/standard, V3 Full and both
constrained STM32 release recipes. Radio-family compile coverage continues
separately; W12 full/portable package guards remain enforced.
Specialize repeater ACL session state, compact recent and flood records, stream Merkle proofs, and release cold OTA buffers safely. Preserve saved formats, stack sizes, table capacities, and OTA source limits. Account for lazy buffers when active and add compatibility, ARM alignment, allocation failure, and queued-response tests.
Validated six representative board/role builds, 1736 native test cases, sanitizer fixtures, and strict documentation. Document the preexisting Wio-E5 Mini flash overflow separately.
Keep Full sensors, UART2, adaptive OTA storage and the 8 KiB loop stack. Arbitrate shared SPI and OTA workspace ownership, move network waits into a worker, and use bounded queued TCP operations. Add reproducible test configs, RAM checks and regression coverage. Validated the Full build, UF2 layout and 29 sanitizer runtime scenarios.
Received packets are uploaded before Mesh::onRecvPacket validates them, so
an advert corrupted over the air that still passes the LoRa CRC is published
with a mangled name or location. `set mqtt.advert.verify on` verifies each
received advert's Ed25519 signature (same message layout as Mesh.cpp,
including the 32-byte app-data clamp) and skips publishing failures.
Defaults off so collectors keep seeing RF corruption on the mesh. Dropped
adverts are counted as badsig= in `get mqtt.stats`. Exposed in the web
config Publishing card and persisted as mqtt.advert_verify in prefs JSON.
Point both stable providers and runtime controls to the validated v1.17.1.9-halo-keymind-cascade-dev-88c85108 family. Record completed package validation while retaining hardware coverage limitations. Give all documentation source pages their exact hosted links and mount the telemetry form only in the browser. Verify current combined Full and nRF52 Full/Reduced catalog fixtures.
Keep the deployed SD target and layout, select qualified internal delta storage when no card is usable, and retain exact SD bootloader-update gates. Add storage, capability, transfer, recipe, and release-selection regression coverage.
Also preserve mandatory runtime packet logging in canonical XIAO images when verbose build debugging is disabled, fixing the four stopped release-matrix qualification failures.
