Kaj SchittecatandClaude Opus 4.8 7a63ffe86c touch: beta_9 — crash/Wi-Fi reliability, crash-report export, room fixes, app-drawer icon size
- Stability: Wi-Fi auto-reconnect; corrupt chat-history quarantine (fixes reboot-on-
  receive / inaccessible messages); draw-buffer + flush NULL-guards (boot-panic).
- Crash-report export to SD/SPIFFS (Settings -> About).
- Map: reload purges on-disk tiles offline + visible zoom band; corrupt-tile self-heal
  on load; z15 dedup-key overflow fixed.
- Contacts: favourites always listed (#17).
- Chat: room message send-time (#26) + sender labels; QR share uses the official
  meshcore://contact/add format (#16); unread badge capped at 99+.
- App drawer: icon-size setting (Compact/Large) + smoother scrolling.
- ~5 KB internal DRAM reclaimed (backup arrays + msg_idx -> PSRAM).

# beta_9 — what's new (one user-facing note per non-blank, non-# line)
# --- Stability ---
Wi-Fi now reconnects on its own after the link drops — no more rebooting just to get back online
Fixed a bug where a corrupted chat-history file could make the device reboot on every received message (and hide your messages) — the bad file is now detected and reset automatically so it recovers on its own
Hardened the boot path so a device with quirky memory degrades gracefully instead of getting stuck on the boot logo
# --- Crash reports ---
After a crash, Settings -> About now shows an "Export crash report" button that saves the crash dump to the microSD card, so you can send it to the devs and get the bug fixed
# --- Map ---
The reload button for corrupt tiles now actually clears the cached tiles — including when you're offline — and missing/blank "twilight zone" tiles re-download on their own
Fixed tiles not re-fetching at zoom levels 13 to 15
# --- Contacts ---
Favourited contacts now always appear in the contact list, even with hundreds of similarly-named contacts (they used to stay hidden until you searched for them)
# --- Chat ---
Room-server messages now show the time each message was actually sent, instead of when it arrived
Room-server messages now show who sent them
Sharing your contact QR code now produces a valid code that the MeshCore phone app can scan and import
Unread counts now show "99+" instead of an alarming raw number on busy channels
# --- App drawer ---
New icon-size setting: tap the cog at the top-right of the app drawer to switch between Compact and Large — bigger icons and labels, easier to read
Smoother scrolling through the app list (and the other scrollable lists)
