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.
Validate primary images before publishing their views, invalidate the shared source cache before reads that can partially overwrite it, and revoke self-serving references before replacing caller-owned buffers. Keep the CLI serving flag aligned with a surviving primary image after a rejected replacement.
Regression tests reproduce rejected replacements, partial source reads, and self-refresh allocation/read failures. Verify queued manifests, recovered payloads, Merkle proofs, and sanitizer-checked buffer lifetimes.
Drain received packets in single-profile radio fault backoff as well as
dual-profile mode. Share the normal channel-clear and bounded busy policy
with driver retries so a failed send cannot retry blindly or bypass the
existing single-retry limit.
Retain an unadmitted OTA request flight and count v2 fallback evidence only
after a sparse retry enters the transmit queue. Local queue congestion no
longer disables v2 before a request was sent or discards received fragments.
Include primary airtime when temporary RX-only radio2 crosses requests onto
that channel, keeping response allowances conservative on slower profiles.
Add six native regressions, including five failing-before cases, and document
the queue-admission and crossover timing behavior.
Validation: 1,502 native tests, 29 integration checks, and five firmware
builds passed across ESP32-S3, nRF52, and STM32.
Keep catalog, manifest and leaf requests pending when the local transmit
queue rejects them instead of spending their network retry allowance.
Keep the packet selected before CAD so work becoming due during sensing
cannot bypass its own channel or pacing checks. Retire cancelled radio
retries before waiting for BUSY hardware or their retry deadline.
Wait for active transmission completion before applying firmware. Stop
admitting new transmissions after the apply drain deadline so busy queues
cannot postpone reboot indefinitely, and keep those deadlines armed across
millis rollover. Retain the existing persistence-flush backoff.
Add failing-before/fixed-after regression coverage for all four issues,
including the production OTA apply and TX guards in CI.
Validation: 1,496 native tests, 42 Python integration tests, and five
firmware builds passed across ESP32-S3, nRF52, and STM32 targets.
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.
Add durable TempRadio, ACL, clock, bridge, GPS/I2C, USB logging, and Indicator recovery safeguards together with expanded automation, build/profile contracts, release metadata, and the hardware validation ledger.
Add the framed BLE mOTA transport and companion control path, complete the full-profile build and runtime fixes, and document and test the OTA workflow.
Expose the Full Companion terminal over TCP and add an authenticated, replay-resistant host command service with documented CPU temperature, reboot, and allowlisted program examples.\n\nImprove LoRa OTA diagnostics and persistent CLI handling, reduce clock correction drift to ten minutes, and make mOTA stream flush behavior an explicit transport policy with regression coverage.
Improve companion BLE delivery and idempotent remote CLI retries, make FPF7 persistence atomic with FPF6 migration, verify staged OTA data on resume, and clarify filter policy wildcard and BlackHole semantics.
