Allow Auto, SSD1306 or SH1106 through display.controller on display-enabled RAK4631 and RAK3401 roles. Persist the choice before restart without changing the active screen policy, and let saved Auto override legacy build defaults.
Share checked settings I/O and the existing atomic writer to keep Full Companion within its flash boundary while retaining features and existing record formats. Cover save failures, backup recovery, startup selection and ambiguous OLED replies.
Validation: 35 targeted host tests passed. RAK4631 Full Companion and RAK3401 unified LoRa OTA repeater build and package checks passed with release-length version strings.
Add get leds and set leds on|off for Companion, repeater, room server and
sensor builds. Preserve the setting across reboots and cover GPIO, RGB,
Bluetooth, notification and expander indicators without changing radio
amplifier controls or screen backlights.
RAK Companions blink while advertising and keep the Bluetooth LED off once
connected, including late timer callbacks.
Adapted from meshcore-dev/MeshCore#3605 and #2694.
Validated with host regressions and firmware builds for SenseCAP Solar,
RAK4631, T096, Heltec V4, T-Beam, Xiao S3, Pico W and Wio E5 Mini.

Read identities up to three times before allowing replacement, publish only complete reads, and require new startup keys to be saved with bounded retries.
Use authoritative replay-file metadata throughout persistence and clock recovery. Validate setperm input before narrowing or mutating roles, and add production-path regression coverage.
Persist separate display modes and timeouts in seconds for battery and USB power, expose four controls in WebConfig and CLI, and apply one shared policy across display-equipped roles.
Detect R8 external power from a USB host or calibrated battery voltage above 4.21 V, with cached sampling and hysteresis. Add policy, persistence, browser, and R8 power-detection regression coverage.
The serial command buffers must stay NUL-terminated within their
bounds: if they ever aren't, strlen() can return >= sizeof(command)
and the read loop would index past the buffer. Additionally, a full
buffer now becomes a completed line (end-of-line marker placed
inside the buffer, NUL terminator kept) instead of overwriting the
terminator and silently corrupting the buffer for the next pass.
Applies to the serial CLI readers of the repeater, room server,
sensor and secure chat examples, and to the CLI rescue reader of
the companion example.
Bind Companion replies to request transports, make dual-CDC USB sessions nonblocking and reconnect-safe, and harden nRF52 watchdog/OTA storage paths. Fix T096 button debounce, display wake, sleep races, and the compact message layout; add exact WisBlock OTA profiles plus expanded native/static/HIL documentation.
Adapt the validated fan thermostat, battery ADC calibration, GPS baud, SX1262 register patch, and 1700us PA ramp behavior from mintylinux/Meshcore-T-beam-1W-Firmware to the current board architecture. Also make Arduino 3 full-build dependency switching reliable after standard ESP32 builds and guard the release hardware contract with regression coverage.
Framework for upcoming variant-specific PRs that add LED feedback during boot. The hook gives users visual cues that the device is busy and
shouldn't be interacted with until startup completes.
