Kaj SchittecatandClaude Opus 5 2ee888c2c0 Lua SDK: the T-Deck's missing keys, its trackball click, and send repeats
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.

Built on all nine S3 envs and both ESP32-P4 targets.

wadamesh.com infrastructure

Distribution stack for wadamesh: a VPS nginx origin behind Cloudflare.

tiles.wadamesh.com     →CF (HTTP, edge-cached) →  nginx → OpenStreetMap / OpenTopoMap
firmware.wadamesh.com  →CF (cache bins)        →  nginx → /srv/wadamesh/firmware
flasher.wadamesh.com   →CF (HTTPS)             →  301 → wadamesh.com
wadamesh.com           →CF (HTTPS)             →  nginx → /srv/wadamesh/site

Map tile styles. The default /{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg route serves OpenStreetMap (the firmware default). An opt-in OpenTopoMap topographic style is served from /opentopo/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg (explicit OSM alias at /osm/...); the device requests it only when the user enables Map → Options → Topographic map. Legal: OpenTopoMap map tiles are © OpenTopoMap (CC-BY-SA) over © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL) + SRTM — the touch UI shows that attribution when topo is active, and the 14-day disk cache keeps each tile hitting OpenTopoMap at most once per fortnight (their tile-usage policy asks for a contactable UA + caching, both of which the transcode service provides). Deploying the topo routes = update tiles.wadamesh.com.conf + tile-transcode.py, then systemctl restart wadamesh-tile-transcode && nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx and purge the Cloudflare cache for tiles.wadamesh.com/opentopo/*.

The firmware fetches tiles + the update-check over plain HTTP (on-device HTTPS isn't viable — mbedTLS needs ~30 KB heap, only ~5 KB is free post-Wi-Fi), so the tile + firmware hosts must stay reachable over HTTP. Cloudflare provides the edge cache, HTTPS for the flasher, and hides the origin IP (so no IP lives in this repo or the firmware).

1. VPS (origin)

sudo apt install nginx
sudo mkdir -p /srv/wadamesh/firmware/releases/TOUCH /var/cache/nginx/wadamesh-tiles
sudo cp deploy/nginx/tiles.wadamesh.com.conf    /etc/nginx/sites-available/
sudo cp deploy/nginx/firmware.wadamesh.com.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/tiles.wadamesh.com.conf    /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/firmware.wadamesh.com.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl reload nginx

2. Cloudflare

  • DNS: A/AAAA records for tiles, firmware, flasher, @ → the VPS IP, all Proxied (orange cloud).
  • SSL/TLS: mode Flexible (CF↔origin HTTP) is enough since the origin is HTTP-only. Do NOT enable "Always Use HTTPS" on tiles. or firmware. — the firmware needs plain HTTP there.
  • Cache Rules:
    • tiles.wadamesh.com/* → Eligible for cache, Edge TTL ~14d.
    • firmware.wadamesh.com/releases/*/*.bin → cache, Edge TTL ~1d.
    • firmware.wadamesh.com/releases/TOUCH (the listing) → short TTL (~60s) or Bypass, so new releases appear promptly.

3. Publishing a release

From a wadamesh checkout (builds both boards, refreshes the listing, rsyncs up):

WADAMESH_VPS=user@your-vps scripts/release.sh beta_2

The on-device check GETs http://firmware.wadamesh.com/releases/TOUCH, finds the highest beta_<N>, and (once OTA-over-Wi-Fi is re-enabled) pulls …/releases/TOUCH/beta_<N>/<board>.bin.

Done

  • Web flasher ✅ — the guided install page at wadamesh.com, served from deploy/site/ and published by scripts/deploy-site.sh (esp-web-tools / Web Serial, per-board install buttons + .bin downloads, manifests generated per release by scripts/build/gen-flasher-meta.py into the /latest/ and /latest-beta/ feeds that release.sh refreshes each publish).
  • flasher.wadamesh.com 301-redirects to the apex (see deploy/nginx/flasher.wadamesh.com.conf) — it is an alias, not its own page.
  • deploy/flasher/ is the original standalone flasher page. No deploy script publishes it — deploy-site.sh ships deploy/site/ only — so it is effectively an offline/local copy kept in parity by hand. Retire it or wire it into a deploy target; until then, treat deploy/site/index.html as the only install page users can reach.

TODO before public launch

  • Re-enable OTA-over-Wi-Fi in the firmware (currently it version-checks then defers to manual flashing).
  • Flip wadamesh repo public = launch.
  • Decide tile-proxy sharing: dedicated tiles.wadamesh.com (this config) vs reusing the meshcomod proxy.

Never commit the VPS IP, SSH keys, or WADAMESH_VPS. Cloudflare fronts the origin; the deploy target is supplied via the environment at publish time.
