Recheck cached immutable paths before resetting the live table after raw I/O failure. Keep accepted RAM mutations, current jobs and save deadlines when reads recover; stronger source or publication uncertainty still forces full recovery. Use the existing recovery byte and a fixed scratch buffer, with no cache allocation or eviction.
Cover full-cache transient recovery, persistent I/O and checksum failures, nRF unread-scope restoration, active ESP jobs, real uncertain publication and unchanged lazy deadlines with sanitizer tests and restored-reset negative controls.
Compile the actual contact recovery flag and accessor in the sleep harness used by CI. Check that pending repair wakes the loop while a retained source flag alone does not. Retain all six temporary-radio, terminal and nRF52 lease variants and their original sleep assertions.
Do not classify legacy or page-name stat errors as unread payloads. Keep candidate contact files unchanged, retry source selection, and use bounded volatile operation if authority remains unknown. Cover legacy absence, downgrade leftovers, cleanup-time metadata recovery and persistent faults with actual-source sanitizer tests and restored-bug negative controls.
Verify fallback namespace moves before accepting publication or rollback. Reload readable contact images at a safe host boundary, discard only unreadable contact data after bounded retries, and permit volatile operation when storage cannot recover. Preserve unrelated stores and fail explicit durability requests truthfully.
Keep existing flash, RAM, OTA and capability limits by streaming nRF52 preferences through the validated wire table and sharing identical contact deadline resets. Add fault-injection, sanitizer, legacy-image parity and CLI lifecycle regressions.
Provide canonical Full recipes for Waveshare S3 LR1121 and Wio Tracker L2 while retaining directly buildable USB and BLE compatibility recipes. Cover hardware inheritance, menu selection, and exact Full mappings in the release profile tests.
Verify public images after every rename attempt, expose publication outcomes, and use an independent CRC32C fingerprint so valid IEEE-CRC-tailed images cannot mask a stale target. Preserve persistent formats and reject directories for empty images.
Reconcile uncertain migration journals before choosing filesystem authority. Preserve retained contact snapshots when page publication is unconfirmed without clearing dirty state or acknowledging the new page generation.
Add readback, rename, CRC-tail, migration reboot/quarantine, and snapshot eviction regressions. Keep complete RAK Full Companion within the unchanged OTA ceiling through equivalent code compaction, with no feature or validation cuts.
Keep tracked reply generations stable in feature-off builds as well as optional transport builds. After ACK copies drain, let expired temporary profiles restore saved settings while failed permanent commits stay staged and retry.
Cover packet generations, rollover, persistent commit faults, cancellation and eventual commit across feature-off, Meshtext and Ethernet configurations. Document ACK ownership and post-reply storage retry behavior.
Run DHCP and renewal in a cooperative worker, bound socket commands, and retain SPI ownership until cleanup is safe. Preserve framing deadlines, response ownership and whole-frame replay, including pending-ACK queue pinning.
Budget the worker additively and retain all OTA names with an exact-checked Full-only compact index. Add full-driver, sanitizer, queue, shutdown, storage and memory regression coverage.
