Require a real raw-table save for same-value channel SETs. This repairs the false acknowledgement after successful constructor recovery of an older backup followed by a failed candidate write.
Keep resolved alias keys, raw AUTO policy and runtime generation untouched. Preserve GET and unchanged contact behavior, changed-policy validation and indeterminate-publication quarantine.
Cover real stale-backup creation, failure/retry, reboot and exact old-skip controls. Add actual alias/BaseChatMesh and raw app-key regression tests on all four backends. Verified 117 related host tests, 16 final caller rechecks, four firmware qualifications and linked nRF52 crypto checks.
Latch only channel storage on Indeterminate writer outcomes, including failed transaction setup. Preserve ordinary failure retries, confirmed rollback, contacts and the live accepted channel keys.
Exercise actual CLI and binary callers with all four storage backends, reboot behavior and exact missing-latch negative controls. Share TX storage failure diagnostics to retain the strict Wio-E5 Mini flash gate.
Verified 103 related host tests, four platform firmware qualifications and linked nRF52 crypto/stack checks. A separate stale-backup constructor/no-op acknowledgement case remains under audit.
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.
Bring in Wio Tracker L2 Pro, RAK3401/TrackerV2 RS232 recipes and explicit FEM-on defaults. Keep qualified runtime FEM ownership and GPS semantics; retain old V4 target aliases and Bash build entry points. Pin the upstream RadioLib 7.8.1 release exactly instead of an open-ended dependency range.
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.
