Recover usable ESP32 preferences and channels before permitting replacement; keep identity and ACL persistence transactional and complete.
Preserve MQTT commit boundaries, restore OTA identity and policy after deferred allocation, retain radio gain retries, and reject invalid flood limits. Add production-path fault regressions and CI coverage.
Distinguish OTA read failures from missing blocks and select unique raw-flash checkpoints by MID and target. Keep deferred CLI requests and replies bound to immutable command identity and full authenticated keys.
Gate radio mutations on their exact reply delivery, recover coding-rate restoration, and roll back failed Companion preference writes. Preserve accepted low duty cycles across reboot.
Retain partial network writes, cancel displaced client operations, and reject malformed or stalled framed input. Add regression and CI coverage, and size-optimize the RAK4631 Ethernet build without dropping features.
Preserve resumed nRF52 flash pages and keep filtered OTA catalogs incomplete until full pages arrive. Bound stuck radio preparation, report companion setting failures, retain safe rollback, and codify conservative advert penalties with regression tests.
Add get/set ota.speed and OTA CLI aliases for factors from 0.05 to 3,
defaulting to the existing pace. Persist the setting independently of the
OTA workspace and apply it to OTA packet pacing, relays, discovery and
adverts while retaining the configured airtime budget.
Preserve physical proof/retry allowances, account for both participating
radio profiles, keep optional deadlines armed across millis rollover, and
exclude intentional pacing from observer stale-packet age. Keep local
verification at its normal rate and retain a valid saved speed if backup
recovery cannot finish. Add documentation and CI regression coverage.
Validation: 1,491 native tests and 26 CLI/integration tests passed. Built
ESP32 full repeater, ESP32 full Companion, nRF52 full Companion and STM32
USB Companion successfully, including their memory/size checks.
Persist Companion TX preferences per contact and channel. Default repeater,
room, and sensor replies to both active TX profiles, with a reply-only force
option for an RX-only secondary profile. Track both reply copies before a
temporary-radio handoff and account for OTA copies under queue backpressure.
Add bridge/crossover filter modes and the third built-in wardriving filter,
plus compact filter CLI syntax, documentation, and CI coverage.
Fix quoted target names being interpreted as slot/key selectors, partial
recovery of invalid saved reply settings, filter suspension during tempradio2,
and unnecessary packet allocation while OTA traffic is throttled.
Validation: 1,477 native tests, 52 Python integration tests, 29 filter UI tests,
and five firmware builds covering ESP32, nRF52, and STM32 passed.
