Integrate upstream 1.18.0, delayed direct ACK forwarding, zero-scope routing, Waveshare LR1121 and dynamic WiFi variants. Preserve fork chemistry-aware power management and bounded multi-interface UI; retain retry/dedup safety while adding upstream ACK delay. Qualify LR1121 band power and HP-only Morse handling with native regressions.
Acquire fresh GPS and validated UTC, check an authenticated owner Companion, and apply saved lost-status cadence with bounded awake windows. Persist request tags, routes, and six-hour flood reservations; preserve the four-day cutoff across sleep and restart.
Keep Dispatcher recovery active after a failed radio wake, honor denied flood retries after lost TxDone, and qualify GPS ownership and clock corrections. Add executable regression tests and nRF52/ESP32 Sensor build jobs.
Validation: six firmware builds, 1829 native test cases, sanitized tracker/storage/GPS/sleep/recovery tests, and strict documentation build. Bluetooth Find My advertising and automatic Room mailbox polling remain separate work.
Bound ACL replies for encrypted routes, authorize Sensor ACL access using the actual Admin role, and preserve request retries after failed queue admission. Validate stored paths for replies, while keeping Room keep-alives direct-only.
Add both G3 RF-slot Sensor profiles, suppress battery alarms on unavailable measurements, and remove the unsupported Sensor WebConfig capability. Add executable regression coverage and CI checks.
Integrate PowerSaving-v17 through a27e78e4 (six new commits).
Use its 10-minute awake / 30-minute asleep companion GPS profile and
separate requested GPS state from receiver power in CLI diagnostics.
Include its nRF52 sensor debug-console settle delay and debug option.
Resolve overlapping GPS v2 changes using the current sensor callbacks,
which already implement live power-saving transitions, user-off control,
telemetry acquisition, wrap-safe sleep/wake timers and retained Airoha
RTC backup. Preserve preference persistence, telemetry cache/holds and
UART/shared-rail ownership safeguards across all four GPS drivers.
Add a compiled production GPS status regression test and run it in CI.
Validated 23 native GPS/power tests, preference and nRF52 pin contracts,
and firmware builds for T1000-E BLE Companion, MeshTracker X1 USB
Companion, Heltec Tracker Repeater, Mesh Solar Room and RAK4631 Sensor.
Import Airoha GPS RTC backup sleep, 24 contact search results, and the T-Echo Lite USB companion target. Preserve existing GPS telemetry and power-saving controls, crypto alignment checks, ESP32 RTC recovery, and RAK11310 dynamic-preference compatibility.
Validate GPS sleep acknowledgments with their NMEA checksum and add six native regression tests covering retry, drain, corruption, grace timeout, and timer rollover.
Verified: 1648 native and KISS modem tests; targeted nRF52, companion routing, one-key DM, and clock checks; T1000-E BLE, MeshTracker X1 USB, and T-Echo Lite USB companion builds.
Roll back failed password and advert changes, propagate identity-store results, and report unsaved common and observer settings. Correct observer filter persistence and KISS OTA capability claims. Add fault-injection and packaging regressions.
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 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.
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.
