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.
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.
Support fractional seconds, guard active packet work, keep the MCU awake, and restore reception after carrier tests. Include regression coverage and independent-radio RF validation for the V4 and T1000-E.
Implement radio2, tempradio2, radioat2 and tempradioat2 across Mesh roles,
with RX-only/RX+TX operation, optional preambles and persistent cross-TX
policy. Keep temporary OTA traffic on its profile by default and maintain
independent retry ownership and backoff for each profile.
Use slow-first receive scanning with 4.8-symbol visits and automatic
preambles rounded up in steps of eight. Preserve pending RX, restore power
saving on exit, and discard work bound to changed or expired profiles.
Restore the infrastructure path.hash.mode setter and report unsupported
extra.sf settings consistently. Add CLI, scheduling, scan and retry tests,
setup documentation, and the V4/XIAO hardware validation results.
Validation: 1,422 native tests, eight KISS tests, 63 final focused profile
tests, 18 checks from the staged source, sanitizer-enabled OTA transfers,
and builds for V4 Mesh roles, Full XIAO Companion and nRF52 T1000-E.
Hardware checks cover reception, cross-TX policy, expiry, reboot and OTA
discovery while receiving main-channel adverts.
Integrate ExpressLRS TX module support and its stacked ESP32 heap changes.
Use the approved Linkflow calibration (17-30 dBm), preserve the PA drive
and output path after radio recovery, and keep LoRa OTA enabled.
Preserve stored ACLs and filters on allocation failure, release owned
client/filter buffers, service heap OTA contexts on Companions, release
self-serving workspaces after TempRadio, and reset staged-resume state
when a context is released. Keep manual staging and active operations
alive. Account for all moved allocations in the runtime RAM gate.
Validation: 1,393 native cases; radio-power, heap-context, ACL persistence,
shared-queue transfer, display/inbox, radio receive, and memory regressions.
Firmware builds passed for Linkflow, Heltec V2 Companion, T-Beam MQTT
repeater, Heltec V4 R8 MQTT repeater, RAK4631 repeater, and Indicator Full.
Physical verification awaits access to the currently offline lab Pi.
Use measured text rows for companion and repeater layouts, retain the V4 6px footer, and add overlap and navigation regressions. Correct the MQTT logging sleep documentation contract test.
