Add selectable shared ESP-NOW channels, raw/wrapped bridge compatibility, and bounded fragmentation for maximum-size packets.\n\nGive ESP32 Full profiles WiFi coexistence, stabilize WebConfig and USB terminal lifecycles, and keep disabled bridges stopped during observer updates.\n\nUpdate generated UI, firmware selection, documentation, and regression coverage.
Add the framed BLE mOTA transport and companion control path, complete the full-profile build and runtime fixes, and document and test the OTA workflow.
Expose the Full Companion terminal over TCP and add an authenticated, replay-resistant host command service with documented CPU temperature, reboot, and allowlisted program examples.\n\nImprove LoRa OTA diagnostics and persistent CLI handling, reduce clock correction drift to ten minutes, and make mOTA stream flush behavior an explicit transport policy with regression coverage.
PA PL1 re-targets the PA's DC-DC supply rail rather than selecting a
logic-level gain, and the serial CLI is serviced on every main-loop pass
regardless of whether a transmit is in flight. A `set radio.fem.txgain`
write could therefore move the rail mid-transmit, while the SX1262 was
still driving the PA at full input power.
Record the requested level in setPAGainEnable() and drive the pin from
setTxModeEnable(), which runs from onBeforeTransmit() ahead of
startTransmit(). The level only matters while transmitting, so deferring
costs nothing.
Document that the pref is saved immediately but applied at the next
transmit, so `get radio.fem.txgain` can lead the hardware until then.
Improve companion BLE delivery and idempotent remote CLI retries, make FPF7 persistence atomic with FPF6 migration, verify staged OTA data on resume, and clarify filter policy wildcard and BlackHole semantics.
Neighbors publication was gated on BOARD_HAS_PSRAM. Removing that gate alone
was not enough: the feature built but was inert without PSRAM, because three
allocation sites asked for MALLOC_CAP_SPIRAM (which returns null with no
PSRAM), the bridge's persistent buffer was allocated inside a BOARD_HAS_PSRAM
block, and neighborDiscoverReady() rejected every pass at runtime on
psramFound(). The entry table also did not fit: finishNeighborDiscover put
pubkey_hex[50][65] plus entries[50] on the stack, a 4752-byte frame against
the mesh loop task's 8 KB.
- Gate on MAX_NEIGHBOURS plus PSRAM or an explicit per-variant
MQTT_NEIGHBORS_WITHOUT_PSRAM opt-in.
- Move the entry table and its hex strings into one heap block sized to the
pass; the frame drops from 4752 to 304 bytes.
- Prefer PSRAM and fall back to internal DRAM in the mesh-side allocations
and the ArduinoJson pool; hoist the bridge's persistent buffer out of the
BOARD_HAS_PSRAM block (psram_malloc already falls back).
- Keep the runtime psramFound() check only where the buffers are sized for
PSRAM, so a board whose PSRAM failed to init still refuses.
- Size for internal DRAM without PSRAM: 4 KB text buffer and 20 entries per
publish, keeping the pool to a single block and the peak near 13 KB rather
than ~35 KB. Oversized tables truncate and report total_neighbors as before.
Enabled on the ESP32-S3 observer envs (Heltec V3/WSL3, RAK3112, Heltec
Tracker v1.1/v2). Left off for the classic ESP32 T-LoRa V2.1-1.6, which is
already limited to one active TLS slot.
Costs ~7.4 KB static DRAM on repeaters and ~9.6 KB on room servers. The
prefs layout is unchanged, so this is neutral for existing devices.
