A release with twenty-odd notes pushed the whole install flow off the screen, so
the box that is meant to be a summary had become the page.
It is a native <details> now, collapsed on load, reading "See what's new in
beta_78 - 24 changes". The count matters: a bare "click here" asks people to
gamble a tap, while a number lets them decide whether they care. Native rather
than scripted so it opens with the keyboard, works without JavaScript, and does
not need a click handler; the JS only fills the count and forces it closed on
each channel switch, so flipping stable/beta cannot leave a stale panel open.
The default disclosure triangle is hidden and replaced with one that rotates,
because that marker renders differently in every browser.
Markup verified as balanced and the element confirmed to carry no "open"
attribute, which is what makes it start collapsed. I could not render it in a
browser to check visually: the harness refuses to navigate to localhost, and a
file:// page is served as a static snapshot with no JavaScript, so the count and
the collapse behaviour are unverified on screen.

Two things, both found by looking rather than by being told.
A Heltec V4-R8 crash dump from beta_77 decodes to a data race in the Arduino
core's Wi-Fi event list. Correcting for the unwinder mangling Xtensa return
addresses, the event task was inside _eventCallback copying a WiFiEventCbList
entry, iterating the callback vector, while loopTask was still in setup() inside
_M_realloc_insert growing that same vector through WiFi.onEvent(). The
reallocation frees the buffer the event task is walking, so it then calls
through a dangling function pointer, which is the garbage program counter in the
dump.
Neither side locks, and the vector is the core's, not ours. What is ours is the
ordering: both handlers were registered AFTER the stack was started, one of them
after WiFi.begin(), so a STA_DISCONNECTED arriving during boot association lands
in the window. A failed first association is ordinary, which is why this happens
at all. Both now register before WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA), so nothing mutates the
vector once events can flow and the race is impossible rather than unlikely.
This is a crash during setup(), so on an unlucky unit it is a bootloop, which
makes it worth more than its single report.
The moved handler drops its WIFI_DEBUG_PRINTLN tracing, which comes from a
header not in scope that early. The prints compile to nothing in a release build
and the reconnect flag they accompanied is unchanged.
Separately: the location-privacy setting shipped in beta_77 on the wrong page.
It was inside the Sensors section rather than GPS, because the insertion was
anchored to a comment belonging to the Sensors block, and that section is
described in its own code as V4-with-kit only. So on most boards it was not
reachable at all, which is exactly what two people reported: they went looking
and correctly concluded it was not there. It now sits in the GPS section, is
named "Location privacy" rather than "Position in adverts" (nobody searching for
a privacy control scans for the word "adverts"), and offers four buttons instead
of a cycling one, so every option and the current choice are visible without
touching anything. Given the failure here was discoverability, showing the most
without interaction is the point.

dreirund reported the device as frozen at "Download mode... reflash over USB".
It was not frozen: that is the state working as designed, waiting to be flashed
with its own UI stopped. They accepted that once told, and made the fair point
that the button should say what it will do.
So the menu entry now reads "Download mode (wait for USB flash)", and the
message shown before the UI stops says that RESET cancels, which is the piece of
information whose absence turned a working feature into a bug report. It also
stays on screen long enough to be read.
A state a user cannot leave without already knowing the way out is a bug in the
telling, even when the code is right.

Twelve new user-facing strings arrived with #413. Added as placeholder rows so
the audit is clean and translators have the keys to fill in.

Conflict with #407 resolved in favour of the newer gesture: #407 changed the M9
unlock from a hold to a double-press, and #409 branched before that and still
described the hold. The M9 strings keep #407's wording; #409's Wio Tracker L2
arm is taken as written, since that board's gesture is not what changed.
Requested by dreirund: with no GPS fix, no Wi-Fi and no companion app there was
no way to set the clock at all. That is not cosmetic, because message timestamps
are built from it, so a device used purely offline could not hold a correct one.
Settings, Clock now takes local time as "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM". mktime() reads it
through the configured zone, the same zone the clock is displayed in, so what you
type is what you see rather than something you convert to UTC yourself, and
tm_isdst is left at -1 so summer time is not an hour out. The field is prefilled
with the current reading, which makes a correction an edit of a digit or two
rather than typing a full stamp on a device keyboard.
Rejected values are refused the same way every other clock source is: below the
send-timestamp floor is not accepted, so a mistyped year cannot walk the ratchet
backwards.

#415: a Lua app was covered by the app drawer whenever a message arrived.
Reported by jadestarwatcher, reproduced by mysterywavi, both on T-Deck. Mine,
from the #393 badge fix. Apps launched from the drawer deliberately leave it
alive underneath (appTileCb says so outright), and my badge refresh rebuilt it on
every unread-count change, with openAppDrawer() ending in a move_foreground that
threw it on top of the running app.
The refresh now runs only when nothing is drawn in front of the drawer, tested by
sibling order rather than by listing the tools, so a tool added later is covered
without anyone remembering to update a list. The status bar is excluded, since it
legitimately floats above the drawer at all times and treating it as covering
would have stopped the badges refreshing at all. Leaving the signature stale is
what makes it self-healing: the check runs again each tick, so the count is right
by the time the drawer is back in front, with no need to hook every close path.
Scroll position is now preserved across the rebuild too, which my change had also
been resetting.
#410: on the M9 the accent variants appeared but could not be selected. Also mine,
from the #387 work. The picker was handled below m9HandleArrowKey, which takes
LEFT and RIGHT for the caret and returns, so the arrows never reached it: the box
was drawn and nothing could touch it. Lifted above that call, as its own function
rather than a second copy of the logic.
#399, requested by @Danie10: an option to advertise a position near you rather
than your address. Settings, GPS, cycling exact / 100 m / 250 m / 1 km.
The displacement is derived from the node identity, so it is the same offset
every time. That is the whole point rather than an implementation detail: a fresh
random offset per advert would scatter points around the true position, and
averaging a night of them would recover the centre exactly. A fixed displacement
instead looks like a node that sits somewhere else, which is what a manually set
location already looks like. It applies only to our own adverts; the map and the
GPS page keep the real fix, because the aim is to tell other people less, not to
lie to yourself.
Schema v57. The host test caught the new field the moment it was added, which is
what it is for.

Three things Jade reported, the first of which is blocking an app submission.
Missing keys on the T-Deck. A Lua app there never received A, P, Q, Enter or
Backspace. The rule that withholds them exists so an app can never swallow its
own exit, which is right on a board where a reserved key IS the only way out.
On the T-Deck it is not: an app page is closed by tapping the back bar, and the
app host is not in the popup registry, so those keys closed nothing while an app
was running. They were simply dead inside every app. They are now forwarded.
The M9 keeps its reservation, because its reserved keys are sentinel bytes for
Back and Home that are never typed text and it has no touch to tap out with, and
the Pager already reserved nothing. That is why this was T-Deck-only.
The trackball click. With an app open the trackball branch forwarded motion and
explicitly discarded the button, so an app could be steered but never clicked.
It now delivers the same synthetic centre tap the touchless boards' select key
sends, on the press edge: the flag is a per-frame "held" level, so forwarding it
raw would have fired a tap every frame the button stayed down.
Repeat counts. The firmware already counts repeaters heard rebroadcasting an
outgoing flood, keyed on a fingerprint taken at transmit time; it is the refresh
glyph on a sent bubble. wada.mesh.send() now returns that fingerprint as its
second value on success, and wada.mesh.repeats(fp) reads the count back. Additive,
so an app reading only the first return is unaffected. The count grows as repeats
arrive, so it is polled rather than read once, and a direct message has none
because it is not flooded. Documented on the SDK page.

oumike. A firmware-wide appearance setting: Night stays the default and renders
exactly as before, Day is a low-glare light palette with its own semantic roles
for text, panels, fields, borders, controls, focus, charts, status colours and
chat surfaces. Selecting a mode restarts, so every LVGL object is rebuilt from
one coherent palette rather than half-repainted. There is a Night/Day selector
in Settings, Display, the Control Center Theme chip is now a direct toggle whose
sun/moon icon shows the active mode, and the standalone console UI has a
matching Day palette.
Main already carried the palette scaffolding for this, pinned to Night behind a
comment saying it was waiting on this branch, so the merge mostly replaces those
stubs with the real thing.
The prefs schema needed care. The branch appended theme_mode as v54, but v54 and
v55 were taken by boot_wifi_time/boot_wifi_open and loud_alerts before this
merged, so the field moves to the tail behind them and the version becomes v56,
with the trailing-field assert and the migration step moved to match. A packed
struct read back at the wrong offsets is the failure this schema's asserts exist
to prevent, so the invariants from both sides are kept rather than one replacing
the other.
That also surfaced a stale test: the v53 case asserted that v53 plus exactly two
bytes was the whole struct, which stopped being true when loud_alerts landed and
was not caught because the host test was not run then. It now counts every byte
appended since and asserts the new fields come back at their defaults. The
schema host tests pass. While there, the size comment said "about 500 bytes";
the struct is 114.

The M9's screen was never really going off (#390, Buko84, who spotted the lock
screen still faintly visible in bright light). Backlight off is not screen off:
the ST7789 keeps refreshing the same static image behind a dark backlight, which
is exactly what retains an image into the glass. The panel-sleep command the
T-Deck and V4 use was a no-op stub on this board and the M9's backlight path
never called it anyway. Both halves are fixed. The M9 takes the display driver's
default constructor branch, on the global SPI instance it shares with the radio
and with no PIN_TFT_SCL/SDA defined, so the command goes over that same bus
object inside a transaction rather than a second one on pins this board does not
declare.
The Discovered list showed impossible hop counts (#394, jesshampshire). 0xFF is
OUT_PATH_UNKNOWN, meaning an advert arrived by flood with no known path, and it
was being printed as a number: "255 hop". It now says the path is unknown, says
"direct" for zero hops, and pluralises, so a two-hop node no longer reads as
"2 hop".
Keyboard backlight controls are hidden on the older T-Decks (#382,
jesshampshire), which have no controllable backlight, so those controls did
nothing while still looking like settings. The "Older keyboard protocol" switch
added in beta_74 already declares which keyboard is fitted, so it gates these
too rather than asking the same question twice. The other half of that request,
swallowing the backlight key combo so it does not type a stray character, needs
to know which character actually appears; asked on the issue.
Also removed a duplicated pair of declarations in the prefs header.

Buko84 asked whether the M9's notification sounds can be made louder. There is
no volume setting because there is nothing to turn: the buzzer on these boards
is a bare piezo on a GPIO driven by tone(), a fixed-duty square wave, so
amplitude is simply whatever the part does at that pitch.
Frequency is the lever that does exist. A piezo is far louder near its mechanical
resonance, typically around 4 kHz, than at the 1 to 2.6 kHz the chime uses, so
"Loud alerts" in Settings, Sound plays the same three-note shape shifted into
that band. Same chime, so it still reads as the same alert rather than a new one,
and toggling it plays it so the difference is audible while the switch is still
under your finger.
Off by default and opt-in, because the exact resonant peak varies by part and
this has not been measured on an M9. Schema v55, field appended at the tail.

Wi-Fi came back on after a power cycle on the T-Display P4 while every switch
in the UI read off, and the radio really was on: it downloaded a map tile
(#373, wb6zsu, with photographs of both states). The C6 runs its own AT
firmware with auto-connect enabled, so it rejoins the last access point by
itself at power-on, before the firmware ever asks it to. The loop that enforces
the radio pref only acts on a change, and on the first pass it recorded the
state instead of applying it, so "off" never became a transition and the join
the C6 made on its own was never torn down. That is also why toggling Wi-Fi on
and then off fixed it: that made a transition. The state is now applied on the
first pass, once the AT link is actually up. The Tanmatsu carried the same
first-pass logic and got the same fix.
The map's own location marker is a bare white glyph and vanishes on light
basemaps (#366, 100monkeys). The contact markers a few lines below it already
carry a dark border for exactly this reason and self never got one, so it now
gets the same: a dark chip behind the glyph, which reads on any basemap without
spending a colour that already means something else.
Wi-Fi passwords can be revealed while typing (#381, jesshampshire). Entering a
PSK blind on a device keyboard is a real failure mode: the reporter needed about
ten attempts to join their own network. The toggle sits on the password label's
line so it costs no vertical space, and it switches the keyboard mirror too, or
the characters stay masked in the one field being looked at.
The composer shows a character count (#350, jrote1). The 160-character cap was
silent: typing just stops, which reads as a broken keyboard. It appears only in
the last quarter and marks the limit when reached, so an ordinary short message
carries no readout. Counted in codepoints to match how the cap is enforced;
by bytes an emoji would read as four characters.

The PR added the board and its env, which makes it build. It does not make it
ship. Three lists decide that and none of them knew about it: release.sh ENVS
(what gets built and named into a release), gen-flasher-meta.py BOARDS (which
manifests the web flasher gets) and the flasher page itself, which lists boards
by hand.
Without these the board compiles cleanly forever and never appears in a release
or on the flasher, which looks like nothing is wrong.
Named wadamesh-wio-tracker-l2, its own Seeed Studio section on the flasher,
marked beta-channel-only like the Attaky was on arrival, since stable is still
beta_65 and this board has never been in a stable build.

oumike's #384closes#374: MeshCore seeds _txt_last_ts from an unrestricted
random uint32 and sendMessage() then raises the real RTC timestamp above it, so
outbound direct messages carried future dates on most boots. Patched in the
vendored core, fail-closed and idempotent.
#386closes#383: hardware RTC for the Pager's PCF85063A and the M9's PCF8563
with validation on both sides, time retained through a full power-off, and an
opt-in cold-boot Wi-Fi time sync. Prefs schema to v54, appended at the tail with
the assert updated.
cvhviz's #385 makes the M9's battery saver reachable at all (the machinery was
wired but the only enable switch was compiled for two other boards), fixes
GPS-off leakage, and enlarges the GPS UART ring mid-session.
Two build problems, neither visible to the authors:
- #384 wires its core patch into the IDF builds as a fail-closed VERIFY, and
the vendored copy in this checkout predated it. Applying the same patch step
fixes it; the error already said to run fetch-deps.sh, which is the right
design.
- #385 calls gpsEnsureBigRxRing() from UITask.cpp and MyMesh.cpp, which every
target compiles, while the definition is in src/main.cpp, which the two
ESP32-P4 targets never compile. Both P4 builds failed to link. A no-op
definition for those boards lives in UITask.cpp now, which is the standing
rule for anything shared between the UI and the Arduino main. A no-op is
honest here: neither P4 drives GPS through Serial1.

The one that matters most is #354: tileCacheRemove() was written for the
firmware's own LittleFS cache but resolves through s_tile_fs, which is
re-pointed at the SD card root on every board that caches tiles there. So it
was calling SD.remove() on the user's own offline map pack, permanently, for
every queued tile whose .jpg happened to be absent. Gated to the internal
partition now.
The rest: remount through the full ladder after an in-device format (#359),
live labels no longer overlap the rows beneath (#357), hidden and inert widgets
stay out of the d-pad focus group (#358), keypress work is attributed in the
stall ring (#360), and GPS acquisition is measured from when it started rather
than when you looked (#365).

Vybo reports no change in beta_73. The runtime demotion I added is not firing on
his device, and I still do not have the one serial line that would say why. So
rather than guess a third time, give him a switch.
Settings > Keyboard > "Older keyboard protocol" skips raw detection entirely and
uses the protocol every T-Deck controller understands. The point is that it is
reachable BY TOUCH: when detection guesses wrong the keyboard types the wrong
letters, so any remedy that needs the keyboard is not a remedy. It applies
immediately, without a reboot, because the driver re-reads the flag every poll
and will drop out of raw mode on the spot.
The cost of turning it on is modifier latching, which a controller that needs
this switch cannot do anyway.
Schema goes to v53, appended at the tail with the existing static_assert
updated to point at the new last field.
This does not replace finding the real cause; it stops people being stuck while
I do. Automatic detection is unchanged and still the default.

jrote1: a route lists resolved repeater names, and when a name is wrong or two
repeaters share one there is nothing left to identify the hop by. The hash is
what the node is actually keyed by on the wire, so it is the part that stays
true exactly when you are reading a route to work out where a message went.
Each hop now reads "3A Repeater Name" rather than just the name. The unresolved
case is unchanged, since it was already showing the hash.
Also pisti87's two corrections (#347): "Known regions" had never been
translated, and the Bluetooth pairing hint gets his shorter wording. Languages

"Mark read" was an untranslated placeholder. "Join the public channel" had the
long form, which he wants shortened to fit the button.
His text for the second reads "nyílvános"; the file already uses "nyilvános"
everywhere else, so this follows the file rather than introducing a second
spelling. Easy to change back if the long i was deliberate.
The other line numbers in that issue are from his own build and no longer point
at what he means, so they need his source rather than mine to resolve.
Languages go to v20.

The contact action sheet could message, ping, telemetry, range-test, favorite,
share location, reset path, block and delete — but not hand the contact itself
to anyone. The plumbing was already there and only the companion protocol could
reach it: shareContactZeroHop() has backed CMD_SHARE_CONTACT all along.
So this is a button and a wrapper. uiShareContact() sits next to
uiResetContactPath() and looks the contact up in the live table the same way;
actionSheetShareContactCb mirrors actionSheetResetPathCb exactly — fetch by
index, close the sheet before acting, toast the result. No refreshContactsList():
unlike Reset path and Delete this does not touch the contact table, it only puts
a packet on the air.
Zero-hop, deliberately. Flooding a third party's advert spends the whole mesh's
airtime on a packet nobody asked for, and it re-advertises someone else's node
well beyond the room you are standing in. Zero-hop is what the companion command
already does and keeps the action to "hand this to whoever is next to me". A
flood variant is a different airtime trade-off and does not ride along with this.
Gated on !from_map like Share my loc and Block, so the map-marker sheet stays
compact, and placed after Reset path so Block and the full-width Delete keep the
bottom of the sheet.
grid_items goes 6 -> 7 for the non-from_map case. That is housekeeping, not the
fix — as the #306 note at the bottom of the function says, scrollability is
decided from the height the buttons actually reached, and that is untouched. The
#266 Share my loc row is still missing from the same tally; fixing it here would
widen the diff into behaviour this issue put out of scope.
Three new strings across the thirteen language files (Contact gone already
existed), inserted in sorted position and translated in each file's own style for
its neighbours — Contact added for the success toast, Send failed / Save failed
for the failure one, Share QR / Share channel for the button. i18n_builtin.h is
regenerated, not hand-edited; it costs ~2 KB of .rodata, which the V4 feels most.
Audit clean on all thirteen (1034 -> 1037 keys). T-Deck and Heltec V4 TFT build.
Not yet checked on hardware: a second node in direct range actually adding the
contact, and the smallest panel at the largest UI scale.

pisti87 pointed at UITask.cpp:22021 twice, and he was right both times. sigCell()
does not translate its argument, so "Signal", "Signal (stale)" and "nothing heard
yet" were raw at the call site and the card read English in every language.
Easy to miss because the home-graph signal popup has its own TR()'d copies of the
same three strings, so the text is translated in one place and not the other. It
also explains why "nothing heard yet" matched no key when his translation for it
did not appear: there was no key, only a literal.
Hungarian supplied by him.

The SDK documented building widgets in on_open() and gave no way to take them
down, so an app with a second screen drew it on top of the first. pisti87 hit
this building a multi-screen app and had been working around it with buttons;
he also noted that ui.list() has clear() while the page it sits on does not.
The reason this is not just lv_obj_clean() is the handles. WidgetUd holds a raw
lv_obj_t*, guarded only by `if (u->obj)`, so a Lua variable still referring to a
label from the screen just cleared would sail past that check into freed memory.
Every handle now records the generation it was created in, clear() bumps the
generation, and the accessors null the pointer of any handle from an older one.
The null guard that every method already has then turns a stale call into a
no-op. Given the day this codebase has had with use-after-frees, a clear() that
invited one would not have been worth shipping.

Both reported by Jade, and both were arbitrary caps rather than real limits.
wada.mesh.contacts() scanned the first 200 contacts, returned at most 100, and
said nothing about having truncated. On a device holding 2000 contacts most of
them were simply unreachable. It takes an offset and a limit now, defaulting to
the old 100 and capped at 250 per call, because every entry is an eight-field
Lua table and building thousands in one go would exhaust the per-app heap. The
window moves, so everything is reachable by asking more than once, and the new
wada.mesh.contact_count() means an app can page without probing for the end.
The app source limit was 64 KB, which an ordinary program can reach. It is
192 KB now. The source sits in PSRAM only until luaL_loadbuffer has compiled it,
so this is a transient allocation, not a per-app cost, and the compiled chunk
still has to fit the 256 KB app heap. The Store's download buffer was the other
half of that ceiling and moves with it.

beta_69 published Wardrive and Nearby. Both need the extended SDK, and the
Heltec V4 does not have it, so the most common board in the mesh showed a
prominent Get button for two apps that download, install, open, and then refuse
to do anything. matthewjk reported exactly that on Discord and had to be told it
was a hardware limit.
An app can now declare `"requires"` in the catalog. The Store greys the button,
labels it N/A and says so on the row, rather than letting someone spend a slow
download to find out. Wardrive and Nearby declare sdk_ext.
An unknown requirement allows the install: a newer catalog must not disable apps
on firmware that has never heard of the capability name, which would be exactly
the wrong way round.

oumike. Closes#315 (pisti87's request).
Two conflicts, both resolved by keeping BOTH sides rather than choosing:
- sdRuntimeLifecycleBusy() gained an audio-playback source here and a web
reader source in #317. They are independent consumers of the same card and
both have to gate the mount lifecycle. The reader's self-exclusion is kept:
it calls this from its own task while holding the card and would otherwise
deadlock against itself.
- The Lua harness caps table needed sd_list from #312 as well as the audio
flags, and the test order needed the wardrive suite from #324 as well as
audio_api.
Built on all eight S3 envs and both ESP32-P4 targets.
pisti87 read v18 and called it chaos. He was right, and it was mine.
Two defects in the extractor I added yesterday:
- It joined every string literal in a call argument, so a ternary became one
key. `cut ? "Paste (move)" : "Paste (copy)"` shipped as the single key
"Paste (move)Paste (copy)", and with it "Unblock Block",
"Unfav Favorite", "Other networksNetworks", "Batteryactivityon" and
"Stop sharing loc Share my loc". None of those strings exist anywhere in
the firmware. Literals are now grouped only when genuinely adjacent, which
is what the compiler concatenates, so both branches become their own key.
- It scanned raw source, comments included. That is how "Geblokkeerde
gebruikers" -- Dutch, appearing only inside a comment about how a long
translation degrades -- became a KEY in the Hungarian file. Comments are
stripped now, string literals preserved.
202 invented rows removed across the thirteen files. Only rows that were both
unknown to the extractor AND still untranslated were touched, so no
translator's work could be lost either way.
Also his: the curly quotes in the Hungarian credits render as boxes because no
bundled font carries U+201E/U+201D. Five values de-curled. And five strings he
found raw are wrapped: the Wi-Fi rescan and hidden-network rows, the update
check, and the downgrade prompt. The two Wi-Fi rows build their label at
runtime, since TR() returns a pointer and cannot join a glyph literal at
compile time.
Languages go to v19. v18 is deleted rather than left behind: it was only ever

33 of the pairs he posted apply directly to keys that only became visible when
the extractor learned about helper-wrapped and table-held literals. The rest
did not, and the reasons are worth recording rather than dropping:
- Four were escaped in his markdown, so the key read `Node\\nRegion` against a
real key of `Node\nRegion`. Matched after unescaping.
- `Export crash report` is `Export crash report (%uK)` in source; the size is
part of the label. Applied with the conversion appended.
- `Distance` and `Heard` are column headers he read off the screen; the keys
are `Distance: km` and `Recently heard`. Not guessed.
- `Sent only when that contact asks...` is a translation of wording the
English has since changed. Applying it would ship a Hungarian sentence that
no longer describes what the setting does.
- `nothing heard yet` and `Other (hidden) network...` match no key at all,
which usually means a raw string somewhere the audit still cannot see.
88 Hungarian rows are still English: the remainder of the newly visible keys,
plus console mode, which is new.
Languages go to v18. The v17 snapshot is deleted rather than kept: it was cut
before the audit fix added 116 keys, so it was already wrong, and it never
reached a device.

cvhviz. The M9's magnetometer was documented on the board and nothing had ever
talked to it. The driver is written from the datasheet's register map rather
than SensorLib, whose setOutputDataRate() writes the ODR into the OSR bits, and
the axis orientation is measured on hardware at four headings rather than
inherited from a declaration Meshtastic marks unverified and never uses. The
+-32 G range looks absurd for a 0.5 G planet until you measure the board's own
hard-iron bias at about 7x Earth's field.
Also carries several fixes found while testing on hardware: every Lua app opened
on a white page on keypad-nav boards (the focus highlight harvested the app body
as a target and reverse-video filled the page), a use-after-free in the Lua net
worker when an app closed mid-request, an unfreed http_get buffer, canvas pixel
buffers GC'd while LVGL still drew from them, one RTC I2C read per contact, and
map re-open costing 2.5 s on every visit.
Three changes on merge:
- The map tile-keep gate read `total && total < 4 MB`, so a board reporting
zero PSRAM -- the most constrained case there is -- landed on the roomy side
of the test and kept its tiles. Dropped the non-zero guard.
- gpscompass is 55 KB of Lua, more than every other app combined, and it wants
a magnetometer the seeded boards do not have. The author deliberately left
it out of lua_builtin.h; that intent now lives in the catalog as
"seed": false rather than in whether someone remembers to regenerate, since
the generator runs from a pre-build hook as of this branch.
- consoleModeToggleCb was defined inside a !HAS_TANMATSU region while the
Settings row that binds it compiles on every board, so the Tanmatsu link
broke. Moved it out. The console boot path is gated on CAP_CONSOLE alone, so
the switch now does what it says there too.
Built on all seven S3 envs plus both ESP32-P4 targets.

pisti87 reported a long list of text that stays English whatever the language,
and said the strings were in his language file and still did not appear (#257).
Both halves are true, and the reason is the audit.
The extractor only ever recognised TR("literal"). Three very common shapes were
therefore invisible:
mk_row_btn("Reload tiles in view", cb) // helper TR()s its parameter
for (auto& r : rows) TR(r.label) // literal lives in a local table
TR(contactsSortOptName(m)) // helper returns one of several
All three translate correctly at runtime, so the source looks properly wrapped.
But the literal at the call site was never emitted as a key, so it never entered
a .lang file, so no translator could ever supply it -- and adding it by hand
did nothing, because the audit's key list is what the files are checked against.
That is 51 strings across the map options sheet, the sort sheets, the contacts
filters and the home launcher.
The audit now understands all three, plus tr("...") in the Lua apps, and the
newly visible keys are in all thirteen files as placeholders so translators can
see them. 1017 keys, up from 966.
Four strings were genuinely raw and are now wrapped: the reader's idle status,
the Discover empty feed, the crash-report export button and Paste (move/copy).
Lua apps had no way to translate anything at all, so every built-in was hard
English regardless of the device language. wada.sys.tr() gives them the same
table the interface uses; airtime 1.4 is the first to use it, with the
`sys.tr or identity` fallback so it still runs on older firmware.
Two more instances of the drift this issue is really about:
- gen-lua-builtin.py read out/firmware/apps/, which nothing writes -- the
deploy rsyncs deploy/apps/ straight to the VPS. So the mirror was stale and
the two apps added in beta_68 were never baked in: boards that cannot reach
the Store shipped without them. It reads the canonical directory now, and
regenerates from the same pre-build hook as the language table.
- Baking a row whose translation equals its key does nothing, since TR()
returns the key on a miss. Skipping them takes the header from 1.11 MB to
939 KB and gives the V4 back 16 KB of flash, which matters at 89%.

The map About/credits sheet was 820 bytes of raw English built with snprintf and
no TR() anywhere in it, so it stayed English in every language (#257). It is now
three keys: the two attribution headers (the OpenTopoMap variant is credited
separately because its style is CC-BY-SA) and the body, kept whole rather than
split per paragraph so translators get prose instead of fragments. The buffer
grows 820 -> 2048 because Hungarian runs about 1.5x English here and the
Cyrillic and Greek files are two bytes a letter.
Hungarian text from pisti87 (#257). Two edits to what he posted, both flagged on
the issue: the hard line breaks he inserted at the English wrap points are gone,
because the label wraps itself and a fixed break lands mid-sentence on any other
panel width; and the header reads "Terkep adatok" rather than "Map adatok",
which looked like a copy-paste artifact given the rest is fully translated. The
OpenTopoMap variant is derived from his own wording and is his to correct.
Also raw, from the same report: the Discovered auto-add hint and the four type
words it interpolates. The hint buffer goes to 240 bytes and the type list to
128, since the translated plurals are longer than "chats, repeaters".
The reason none of that would have shipped: gen-lang-builtin.py exists so the
baked-in table and the .lang files the store serves cannot drift, and its
docstring promises a pre-build step that runs it. Nothing ran it. Editing a
.lang and building produced an image carrying the OLD translations, silently.
It is now a real pre: hook on all seven PlatformIO envs and a line in both IDF
build scripts, regenerating only when a .lang is newer than the header.
deploy-apps.sh grew the matching check for the other half of that path: a
catalog version that disagrees with the file's own "# ver:" publishes
translations to a version no device asks for.
All thirteen languages snapshot to v17 -- the merged region and SD work added
keys to every file, not just Hungarian.

oumike. Closes#271.
Region presets stop being freq/BW/SF typed in by hand: the list carries the
legal frequency and duty-cycle for each region, so picking one sets a
coherent set rather than three fields that have to agree.
oumike. Closes#309 (pisti87's request).
Bounded to 192 entries, card-rooted paths validated, and it reuses the existing
SD mount and health lifecycle rather than opening its own.
oumike. Verified the reported regression is real: e2d07d8 converted two of the
regions guarding 'Save update bin to SD' to CAP_SD && CAP_OTA and left another
on the old three-board list, which excludes the T-Lora Pager.
Closes#289.
The declination model landed as 4.7 KB of constants pasted into a Lua app,
generated by a script that lived in out/ -- which is gitignored, holds firmware
bins, and is where the app's own "Regenerate:" comment pointed. So the pointer
dangled for anyone who cloned the repo, and nobody but me could answer the
first fair question a reviewer would ask about that block of magic numbers:
where did it come from, and how do I know it is right.
scripts/wmm/ WMM.COF + NOAA's 100 official test values (both upstream
and unmodified), the float64 reference, the generator,
verify.py, and a README covering provenance, regeneration
and how to move to WMM2030.
scripts/lua-harness/ the host harness, with run.sh so it is one command.
Neither goes in test/: that is PlatformIO's directory and a harness with a
main.c would be swept into `pio test`. scripts/ already holds this repo's dev
tooling, test_companion_serial.py included.
The block in the app is now genuinely generated rather than hand-pasted:
scripts/wmm/gen_lua.py --update <app> rewrite it
scripts/wmm/gen_lua.py --check <app> fail, with a diff, if it drifted
--check catches coefficients updated without regenerating, or a block edited by
hand. The generator owns the `local declination / do ... end` wrapper too, and
that is the point: the tables are named G/H/GD/HD, gpscompass uses a global H
for the screen height, and an unscoped `local H` silently ate it. Hand-wrapping
is how that happened, so hand-wrapping is now not a step.
Verification, all reproducible from a clean clone:
scripts/wmm/verify.py 100 NOAA values, worst D error 0.005 deg
scripts/lua-harness/run.sh 10 scenarios, incl. the generated Lua in
the device's own LUA_32BITS interpreter --
0.0002 deg vs NOAA, worst tick 12k of 100k
Also refreshes the LUA_APPS.md paragraph, which still advertised the O and F
keys that were removed and quoted harness numbers from before tilt
compensation.
Every contact and waypoint sat about 22 degrees west of where it belonged,
including nodes whose positions were known to be correct. The markers were
never wrong: bearings computed from coordinates are relative to TRUE north,
the magnetometer measures MAGNETIC north, and the app was drawing one against
the other. The gap between them is the local declination.
Builds the real World Magnetic Model into the app rather than a lookup table
or a hand-entered offset: WMM2025 to degree 12, coefficients and code in
4.4 KB, reproducing NOAA's own calculator to 0.0002 degrees at six sites
worldwide -- verified in this interpreter, on the module as it actually ships
in the app file, not on a copy. The secular-variation terms are included, so
it stays exact across its 2025-2030 window instead of drifting a tenth of a
degree a year from a frozen snapshot.
It is evaluated from the GPS fix, or from the node's own stored position when
there is no fix yet, and only re-evaluated once the position has moved 2 km --
about 8k VM instructions, against a 100k budget per tick. The result persists,
so a reboot starts from the last known declination rather than from zero.
Also:
- A ("set north") no longer double-counts. The offset it stores is a residual
on top of the model, but pressed with no position at all it silently
swallows the whole declination; that is now remembered and given back when
the first fix arrives, so the direction the user fixed stays fixed.
- Headings and bearings carry their reference: 013 deg T, or an amber M while
the declination is unknown. The dial's repaint key includes it, or the first
fix would leave it claiming MAGNETIC until the heading happened to move.
- WMM ships a caution model with its coefficients; under 6000 nT of horizontal
field the app now says the heading is unreliable instead of showing a
confident wrong number.
- Diagnostics take the full-width bottom row for the declination and the
position it was computed at, which is how a wrong marker gets traced to a
bad fix rather than a bad model.
Harness: two new scenarios -- the model against NOAA reference values, and the
no-fix alignment path. The latter caught a real one: the device store takes
strings and numbers, and a boolean flag would have thrown on hardware.
Flip (F) and the "Flip" button are gone, and the stored `mirror` setting with
them. Rotate (O) had already gone. Both existed to let a user hand-tune the
sensor handedness back when it was unknown; both frames are measured now, so
the keys could only break a correct compass. A future board with different
mounting gets a measured mapping, not a key it has to be discovered.
The accelerometer has a zero-g offset -- this one reads ~0.08 g high on Y lying
flat, which is 4.6 degrees of tilt that is not there, applied by the tilt
correction against a gravity vector that is wrong by that much, and wrong in
the DEVICE's frame so it moves the heading differently at every heading.
Rotating the device every way already sweeps a 1 g sphere for the
accelerometer alongside the field sphere for the magnetometer, so the same fit
recovers it at no cost to the user: same gesture, one more set of running sums,
and it is only accepted when the sphere it fits is close to the 1 g it must be.
Simulated with a 0.08 g bias injected: recovered to within 0.02 g, and a flat
device then reads 0 degrees of tilt instead of 5.
Diagnostics: rows were wrapping onto each other. They are shorter now, and
while diagnostics are on the four rows take the whole panel width (the key
column is reclaimed) -- the harness fails if any row exceeds what fits. The
status line also reports the vertical field (d+0.42), which is the measurement
that says whether the magnetometer's Z sign -- inferred, never measured -- is
right: north of the equator, held flat, it must be positive.

Two small conflicts, both additive on each side: upstream added ui.text_w /
ui.text_lines and a "measure" capability while this branch added the panel
colour and the compass/accel caps. Everything from both is kept and the table
hints match the merged key counts.
GPS Compass now uses ui.text_w where the firmware offers it and keeps the
character estimate as the fallback. That estimate is what once put the heading
digits off centre -- it counted UTF-8 bytes, so the degree sign read as two
characters -- and measuring removes the guess entirely, for the dial's centred
text and the satellite meter's reserve alike.
M9, V4, V4-R8, T-Deck and Pager all build; the app harness passes, including
the tilt check.

Both sensors' 1 Hz debug lines were still on from the axis measurements; off
now (the flags stay, they are how the next board gets measured). Documents the
QMI8658 in M9_PORT.md -- the three attitudes and what each proved, the ADDR_AI
trap, and why tilt compensation was needed at all -- and corrects the
calibration instruction from "tumble it" to "rotate it in one place", which is
the distinction that was corrupting the fit. SDK page gains wada.sys.accel()
and wada.sys.keep_awake().

#308 chat_open suppressed the chat's back chevron and cog over an app page, and
the comment right above it says why: otherwise they sit over the page's own
"‹ title" and swallow its back tap. But a settings detail page sets
s_settings_open_cat, not s_apppage_title, so the guard never fired for it.
Opening Settings from inside a chat therefore left TWO back chevrons on the left
of the tall bar, with the chat's clickable cog next to one of them, so a tap
near the wrong chevron went to channel settings or nowhere. Extend the guard.
SDK Test 1.5 (store): uses wada.ui.text_lines() where the firmware has it and
keeps the 1.4 character estimate where it does not, so it lays out correctly on
beta_68 as well as on the next build. It also reports which path it took, since
showing what the board offers is the app's whole job.
