- track real RTC sync source on the joystick Time screen
- gate joystick-only UI helpers behind stub headers so non-joystick builds skip the extra code without #ifdef at every call site.
After broadcasting a group message, wait 5s to see if any neighbor
repeated the flood and use the outcome to mark the on-device entry
and the BLE-app mirror.
- ContentionTracker gets extractDupeCount(hash): finds the tracked
entry, captures dupe_count, finalizes (folds into EMA, marks
inactive), returns the count or -1.
- BaseChatMesh::sendGroupMessage gains an optional out_hash param;
when set, the FNV-1a packet hash is also pre-registered with the
contention tracker so heard retransmits get counted (originated
floods weren't tracked before, only relays).
- Mesh::getContentionTracker() promoted to public so the UI can
query after the feedback window.
JoystickUITask grows a 4-slot pending-channel table with per-slot
k_timer (5s one-shot). startPendingChannel() broadcasts, adds the
local _ch_previews entry with path_len = OUT_PATH_SENT, and starts
the feedback timer. The timer ISR sets a feedback_due flag; the
loop's processPendingChannelFeedback() picks it up, calls
extractDupeCount(), and rewrites the preview's path_len to
OUT_PATH_SENT_HEARD (0xFD) or OUT_PATH_SENT_UNHEARD (0xFC) — which
formatHopCount renders as "sent+" / "sent?".
The deferred BLE-app mirror queues only on outcome with body prefix
"(>>✓) " (heard) or "(>>✗) " (not heard). queueLocalSentChannelMessage
gains a heard_repeat parameter for the selection.
Both channel send entry points (sendComposedMessage's channel branch
and sendChannelMessage) now route through startPendingChannel().
- src/Mesh.cpp Reverted #ifdef ZEPHCORE_COMPANION block → back to vanilla self_id.copyHashTo
- helpers/ContactInfo.h Removed OUT_PATH_SENT
- helpers/ui-joystick/joystick_defs.h Added OUT_PATH_SENT here (with comment clarifying it's UI-only)
- helpers/ui-joystick/joystick_ui_task.h Removed dead _next_batt_refresh field
- helpers/ui-joystick/joystick_ui_task.cpp Removed _next_batt_refresh(0) from ctor init list
- helpers/ui-joystick/joystick_screens.h MsgEntry::origin[80]→[32]; MAX_UNREAD_MSGS 32→16
- Kconfig DOOM help text now lists both UI activation paths
- ARCHITECTURE.md Same correction in §8.5
Stop doing UI work nobody asked for. The 5 s housekeeping tick was
reading env sensors (I2C, 10-50 ms), the battery ADC (regulator
toggle + 8 samples, every 60 s), and re-rendering the display
unconditionally — all while the display might be off and nothing
on-air had requested any of it.
Now:
- render_sensors() reads env sensors only when the user is on
that page (event-driven, never fires during idle)
- battery refresh is lazy on ui_pages_render() with a 30 s
freshness guard; explicit ui_set_battery() calls also count
- the unconditional OLED rerender from housekeeping is gone;
real state changes (messages, BLE, button press) still fire
schedule_render() directly
Telemetry / stats paths read fresh ADC + sensors on demand and
were never using the UI cache, so over-the-air consumers are
unaffected.
Both mesh::Packet::writePath and ::copyPath did a raw memcpy of the
decoded hash_count*hash_size bytes from src to dest with no bound on
src. Two call sites used phone-supplied or LoRa-anon-supplied buffers
where the path_len byte was attacker-controlled:
- CompanionMesh CMD_SEND_CHANNEL_DATA accepted len>=4 and called
writePath with no src bound; a paired phone could leak up to ~65
bytes of syswq stack into the outgoing LoRa channel-data frame.
- RepeaterMesh handleAnonRegionsReq / handleAnonOwnerReq /
handleAnonClockReq read reply_path_len from an unauthenticated
LoRa anon-request payload and called copyPath without any src
bound. Any LoRa neighbor could leak repeater stack into the
reply path.
Hardened the API: both functions now require an explicit src_len
and reject (return 0) when the decoded byte count exceeds it.
Updated all 14 call sites across Packet/Mesh/Dispatcher/BaseChatMesh/
CompanionMesh/RepeaterMesh. Trusted callers (internal MAX_PATH_SIZE
buffers) pass MAX_PATH_SIZE; untrusted callers pass real remaining
length. Added len-5 plumbing through the anon-handler signatures.
CMD_SEND_CHANNEL_DATA also gained a local len>=5 + path_bytes
sanity check for early rejection.
1. USB takeover opcode mismatch
ZephyrCompanionUSB.cpp checked payload[0] == 0x03 with a comment
claiming CMD_APP_START, but CMD_APP_START is 0x01 (0x03 is
CMD_SEND_CHANNEL_TXT_MSG). The USB handshake silently dropped the
companion app's first frame on every connection; the app appeared
broken over USB until the user happened to send a channel message.
2. CMD_SET_ADVERT_NAME didn't propagate to BLE adv data
Name changes were persisted to prefs but the advertising payload
and GATT device name kept the old value until reboot. Added
zephcore_ble_update_name() and called it from the handler.
3. No advertising-health watchdog
If bt_le_adv_start() ever failed transiently (HCI timeout,
controller pacing), the device would silently stop advertising
and stay undiscoverable until reboot. Added an adv_running flag
and a 5s watchdog in the companion housekeeping handler that
nudges adv back on if it stops outside a connection. Tracks
Arduino nrf52's equivalent 10s watchdog.
every LBT-retried flood packet loses its priority (fixed)
witching between LBT and non-LBT mode (or any cad.mode change) could silently skip full reconfiguration and leave the radio in the wrong mode (fixed)
Add .gitattributes rules so .c/.h/.cpp/.hpp are always stored as LF
(prevents EOL drift from editors with autocrlf-true defaults), and
renormalize the 30 source files that had drifted to CRLF in the index.
Pure mechanical change — `git diff --ignore-cr-at-eol` is empty.

- flood retransmit jitter now capped at min(2000ms, 6·airtime) instead of
fixed 2000ms — spreads tighter at SF7, unchanged at SF8
- reactive per-dupe backoff cap now min(2000ms, 12·airtime), keeps
semantic of "push past ~12 relay slots"
- contention ring 16 → 24 for 50-neighbor hilltops
- companions passively track heard floods (warms EMA without forwarding)
and spread their own TX by up to min(1000ms, 3·airtime), hopefully
fixing repeaters missing companion's first transmission
config cleanup:
- move BLE TX buffer bumps (ACL_TX=12 etc.) from zephcore_common.conf to
esp32_common.conf — the Espressif blob needs them, nRF doesn't, and
the bumps were overflowing nRF52840 RAM
- remove CONFIG_ZEPHCORE_MAX_CONTACTS=510 overrides from 5 nRF52840
companion boards; Kconfig default of 350 fits with comfortable margin
(wio prod: 91% → 79% RAM)
GPS fixes no longer overwrite prefs lat/lon — adverts use only
manually-set coordinates (via gps setloc or companion app)
Precise GPS position served via telemetry requests only
getNodeLat()/getNodeLon() returns live GPS fix
Last good fix persisted to /lfs/gps_pos — survives reboots
