New board: ThinkNode_M9_companion_radio_touch env, variants/thinknode_m9/
(board glue, LR1110 target, keyboard driver, partitions, M9_PORT.md pin
reference), boards/thinknode_m9.json, device_caps HAS_THINKNODE_M9 block,
HAS_M9_KEYBOARD input path in the touch UI (d-pad focus nav, tab jump keys,
QWERTY typing).
Based on a contributed bring-up patch by ded (SalishMesh), who also remote-
tested every build on a preproduction unit. Hard-won fixes on top of the
patch, each verified on hardware:
- LR1110 radio init -706: preprod chips run transceiver FW 0x0303, which
rejects DriveDiosInSleepMode (0x012A, added in FW 0x0308) that RadioLib
7.x sends unconditionally during begin(). New build-time patch
scripts/build/patch_radiolib_lr11x0.py tolerates it on old FW;
radio_init() prints the chip's device/FW/errors either way.
- TCXO: DIO3 at 3.3 V (the patch's active-oscillator/tcxo=0 theory gave
-707 on hardware).
- Display: rotation 1 (not 3), plus the missing landscape s_ui_rotation
override so LVGL renders 320x240 instead of portrait-into-landscape.
- Keyboard: the controller is a separate ESP32-S2 I2C slave (0x6C) with
addressed registers - reads select register 0x01 first (bare reads
return the HW-version register forever). Boot probe logs the
controller's HW/FW; backlight duty register wired.
- USB pad release: the keyboard bus lives on GPIO20/21 = the S3's native
USB D-/D+ pads, owned from reset by the ROM USB-Serial-JTAG (D+ pullup
on SDA). M9Board::begin() releases them before any bus init.
- GPIO35-37 are octal-PSRAM pins on the S3R8 - never drive them (the
patch's "SD CS = 36" misread package pin 36 = GPIO48; SD is on the
shared SPI bus, support returns with PIN_SD_CS=48 later).

New: stable/test update channels with an opt-in "Get test builds (beta)" toggle on
OTA devices (switches both the update check and what you install); experimental
opt-in MQTT bridge (consent-gated, payload encryption, direct messages off by
default); Portugal (Narrow) region preset (#74); saved-contacts counter in the
Contacts overflow menu (#72).
Fixed: the signal probe is now strictly zero-hop so a repeater can't re-flood it;
the contact list sorts before capping so the most relevant contacts show, with a
"+N more — search to narrow" footer (#73); the blocked-users list opened from
Contacts shows the two-line title bar with a back button; the Contacts overflow
popup fits the screen again.
Also lands the two-channel release tooling (scripts/release.sh stable/beta modes +
gen-flasher-meta channel arg), the docs site, and the MQTT reference decryptor.

- Fix LVGL scroll-momentum use-after-free reboot when a scrollable overlay
(emoji / quick-reply / add-channel / channel sheets, Wi-Fi scan, pickers,
app drawer) is freed mid-throw: new closeScrollOverlay() helper
(lv_indev_wait_release + lv_obj_del_async). Root-caused from field beta_18
coredumps.
- Radio & Mesh settings: airtime / duty-cycle readout + "Answer telemetry
requests" toggle, grouped into RADIO / MESH / SIGNAL sections.
- Accent popup dismissed on Enter-to-send (T-Deck physical keyboard).
- Heltec V4: Expansion-Kit Home env line + chart flow below the stats line
so they fit the 240x320 screen.

Emoji: bake 4 more Noto colour glyphs (soccer, american football, moai,
transgender flag) and add them to the picker. The trans flag is a ZWJ sequence
the single-codepoint imgfont lookup can't render directly, so its combined Noto
image is keyed on the lead codepoint (U+1F3F3) with the trailing symbol mapped to
the zero-width glyph — the whole sequence renders as the one flag. Only the 4 new
glyphs are baked + spliced (scripts/build/add-emoji.py); the existing 252 stay
byte-identical (no Noto-main art drift).
Chats header: group the three actions at the LEFT edge in the order + (add) /
✓ (mark all read) / QR (share), and draw a real baked QR glyph (qr_icon.h, from
scripts/build/gen-qr-icon.py, recoloured to the text colour) instead of the old
LV_SYMBOL_IMAGE 'picture' stand-in.
Contacts sort: every sort option now toggles ascending/descending — re-tapping the
active row in the Sort sheet flips it and shows a ▲/▼ arrow. New 'Nearest first'
(distance) sort orders by distance from our GPS and excludes contacts that have
shared no location.
Discovered list: gains the same sort sheet (Recently heard / Name / Nearest, each
asc/desc) via a sort button at the top of the list; distance likewise excludes
no-location entries.

The web-flasher manifest referenced https://firmware.wadamesh.com/latest/<board>-merged.bin
— a stable filename cached 4h (Cache-Control max-age=14400) and overwritten in place each
release. version.json (max-age=300) advertised the new tag within minutes, but the latest/
bin could keep serving the PREVIOUS beta's bytes per-POP for up to 4h, so a user flashing
right after a release could install the old version (reported: flashed beta_11, device showed
beta_10). Point the manifest at the immutable releases/TOUCH/<tag>/ bin instead — that URL is
never overwritten so its cache is always correct, and the 5-min manifest TTL propagates the
new path fast.

The esp-web-tools manifest carried a frozen version:beta_1 while the rolling
/latest/ bins moved on, so the web flasher always said beta_1. Fix:
- scripts/build/gen-flasher-meta.py emits version.json (tag + notes) + per-release
manifests (version=tag) into /latest/; release.sh + the CI workflow run it, so
the metadata rolls with every release.
- the site points the install buttons at the VPS manifests and renders a live
'What's new in <tag>' block from version.json.
- drop the frozen static site manifests.
