Keep selected chats bound to full contact keys and route keyboard channel sends through the active transport. Deliver accepted plain, room and Meshtext messages to local history and notifications once; disarm rejected sends and retries.
Use shared live radio settings, GPS acquisition and power-saving policy, screen timers and red night palette. Report save failures, preserve verified custom preferences, and guard display controls and shutdown.
Add executable sanitizer regressions for routing, retries, selection, storage faults, UI lifecycle and GPS. Both Companion builds and the shared T-Deck regression pass; no physical Cardputer testing performed.
Integrate mjgodat's keyboard/display Companion, USB Companion, Repeater and
Room Server support for Cardputer-Adv with Cap LoRa-1262.
Fix UI retry dispatch and ACK ownership, packet/storage bounds, numeric
input validation, sparse channel selection, optional-display shutdown,
keyboard layout limits, reserved GPIOs and Windows cross-drive includes.
Retain all 350 contacts and queue capacity using the existing contact cache;
account for the custom UI's runtime allocations in the RAM admission gate.
Carry the MultiMote and DejaVu notices with firmware packages and add CI
coverage for all four board roles plus the shared T-Deck Companion.
Validation: all four Cardputer roles and the T-Deck BLE Companion build;
Cardputer sanitizer, UI, layout, ownership, licensing and storage tests;
65 RAM-policy tests and 14 contact-cache tests. PlatformIO ran serially.

New variant variants/m5stack_cardputer_adv for the Cardputer-Adv
(ESP32-S3, 8 MB) with the Cap LoRa-1262 (SX1262 + GNSS):
- Envs: companion_radio_ble, companion_radio_usb, repeater, room_server.
- Board: enables the Cap's antenna path via the PI4IOE5V6408 on the
internal I2C bus (Wire1, G8/G9); Wire stays on the Grove port. LoRa and
microSD share FSPI because the display owns SPI3. TCXO 1.8 V.
- Companion UI adapted from MultiMote/meshcore-cardputer-adv (MIT,
LICENSE.MultiMote), running on the standard companion so the USB
terminal CLI stays available. Contacts/identity stay in internal
SPIFFS; the microSD card is optional (chat history, keyboard layouts).
- Sticky Shift, one-shot Fn with Fn+letter shortcuts, top button (G0)
sends a flood advert, brightness control.
- Text size setting (Normal/Large/Extra large) with DejaVu Sans fonts
generated by tools/gen_vlw_font.py; layouts derive from the font size.
- Power save maps to the companion's powersaving pref; the UI vetoes
light sleep while the screen is on. Low-battery power-off at 3.4 V.
- win_long_cmdline.py: Windows-only -iprefix include shortening so the
ESP32 compile command stays under the 32,767-character limit.
Shared companion changes are guarded by CARDPUTER_ADV_UI: main.cpp
selects CardputerDataStore/CardputerUITask/CardputerMesh, and MyMesh.h
maps the_mesh to the subclass like the PSRAM storage path does.
Tested on hardware (910.525 MHz mesh): radio RX/TX, USB CLI, BLE, UI.

Repeated preamble/header activity can keep a requested primary or TempRadio
change busy indefinitely. Bound unfinished-RX admission for accepted LR2021
changes while preserving completed packets, TX, BUSY and exclusive owners.
Ordinary scans and CAD keep their existing admission rules. Expose the failing
stage and native status through get radio.apply.
Add saved radio.xtrim capacitor calibration and measured radio.freqerror in
signed Hz from the last valid LoRa packet. Preserve native trim by default,
restore explicit calibration after resets/Morse, verify saves before applying,
wait two seconds for the acknowledgement, and roll back failed changes.
Calibration motivation and prior upstream work:
https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore/issues/3365https://github.com/recrof/MeshCore/tree/lr2021-trim
Packet-status format follows Semtech's LR20xx driver and RadioLib staging.
Tests execute production activity/admission and transaction paths with noisy
RX, completion races, protected owners, failed setters, RX restart and save
rollback. Physical W12 retuning and RF calibration still require confirmation.
Detect OLED or the original stock TFT touch assembly in ordinary V4.2/V4.3
images. Add saved live display.type auto/oled/tft/off selection and report
the active selection in board output. Keep sensors on primary I2C, preserve
shared power, and isolate TFT FSPI from radio HSPI through sleep and changes.
Consolidate future picker/build choices only with application capability
proof. Retain exact legacy OTA identities and separate R8 hardware images.
Document controls and physical qualification limits.
Validation: five serialized Full builds with capability/size/RAM checks;
focused host tests, existing R8/T-Deck/OLED regressions, build-profile suite,
and picker/provider tests. V4.3 OLED live changes and off/auto reboot
persistence passed on Mercerwood. Physical TFT qualification remains pending.
Save valid busy RX, fast-switch and Companion tuple changes once, then
apply the latest accepted intent at a safe radio gap. Preserve checked-save
rollback, runtime RXEN intent, TempRadio ownership and exact remote reply
delivery. Repair failed preamble compensation without hiding uncertain saves.
Retry WebConfig, MQTT and NimBLE startup failures automatically. Preserve
explicit off choices, OTA ownership and the latest WiFi credentials through
cooperative shutdown. Add regression coverage and update command guides.
Validation: focused host transaction, rollback, ownership and lifecycle suites;
Full RAK4631, Heltec V4 R8 TFT and RC32 packages; representative room, sensor,
LR1110, LR2021, SX1276, STM32WL and ESP-NOW builds. Linked RAK crypto and OTA
workspace checks pass; its complete OTA image uses 712644/712704 bytes.
A settings save could reach the power setter while RX, TX, duty cycling or a
profile transition owned the radio, returning BAD_STATE after earlier settings
had already saved. Distinguish busy admission from a hardware rejection and
reuse the existing command route, storage and three-second deadline for power.
Acknowledge only after hardware acceptance and a successful preference save.
Skip hardware work for verified unchanged power. Invalidate that verification
after failed writes or radio initialization, retaining rollback and exclusive
beacon/Morse ownership. Keep the existing firmware memory limits and features.
Cover retries, captured routes, timeout/rollover, disconnect, partial writes,
failed saves and recovery. Keep ESP-NOW/simulation adapters compatible and add
ESP-NOW Companion compilation to the existing sequential smoke job.
Resolve Serial macro and ESP-NOW wrapper compilation errors. Preserve queue, neighbor, advert-history and Room post capacities while using qualified RTC, PSRAM and word-only IRAM storage on constrained ESP32 targets. Reduce Full infrastructure flash through lossless Room web compression, compact crypto and unused exception metadata removal.
Add focused native regressions for storage ownership, exact protocol output, OTA proofs and build policy. Keep physical flash sizes, OTA slots and RAM guard formulas unchanged.
Allow Auto, SSD1306 or SH1106 through display.controller on display-enabled RAK4631 and RAK3401 roles. Persist the choice before restart without changing the active screen policy, and let saved Auto override legacy build defaults.
Share checked settings I/O and the existing atomic writer to keep Full Companion within its flash boundary while retaining features and existing record formats. Cover save failures, backup recovery, startup selection and ambiguous OLED replies.
Validation: 35 targeted host tests passed. RAK4631 Full Companion and RAK3401 unified LoRa OTA repeater build and package checks passed with release-length version strings.
Default fresh settings to sound off and vibration on, and keep existing saved choices. Apply changes immediately across all three UIs and make custom notification patterns respect the same mute controls.
Keep the Wio Mini Companion within its existing flash boundary by storing its LED switch in a reserved preference byte and shortening CLI help without removing commands. Add coverage for live output changes, persistence, and storage failures.

Add get leds and set leds on|off for Companion, repeater, room server and
sensor builds. Preserve the setting across reboots and cover GPIO, RGB,
Bluetooth, notification and expander indicators without changing radio
amplifier controls or screen backlights.
RAK Companions blink while advertising and keep the Bluetooth LED off once
connected, including late timer callbacks.
Adapted from meshcore-dev/MeshCore#3605 and #2694.
Validated with host regressions and firmware builds for SenseCAP Solar,
RAK4631, T096, Heltec V4, T-Beam, Xiao S3, Pico W and Wio E5 Mini.

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.
Use a 960-byte constant-time Ed25519 base table, compact hash/scalar code and unused-library trims while retaining Reader, BLE P-256 and the 8 KiB stack. RAK4631 Full saves 57,496 flash bytes and 3,152 static RAM bytes versus preview3.
Support complete chapters and verse ranges with bounded app continuation replies and cooperative terminal output. Use nonblocking TCP writes under reader backpressure. Add scalar/signature comparisons and a linked ARM crypto/stack CI gate.
Validated clean RAK4631, T1000-E, T096 and V4 Full builds, host regressions, and physical RAK chapter/reconnect and signing comparisons. Physical signing averages 35.9 ms versus 14.4 ms with the original table.
Share one bounded WiFi outage and recovery schedule across MQTT, automatic NTP, Companion station ownership and WebConfig. Preserve enabled settings and foreground access while allowing normal sleep after confirmed physical shutdown.
Honor failed SDK client stops before handing off WiFi, protect clean teardown and reconfiguration, and retry transient ESP-NOW channel restoration without repeated disconnects. Add production-method, SDK failure and real sleep regressions to CI.
Validation: native MQTT/NTP/clock/reconnect suites; production power and wrapper failure tests; browser, room HTTP, OTA and combined bridge regressions; Full Heltec V4 repeater, room and companion builds with capability, flash and linked-memory checks.
Starting or restarting MQTT during browser OTA could remove the active AP by forcing STA mode. Defer shared MQTT startup and recovery, and Companion WiFi startup, pending credential reloads and saved-SSID retries, until the live SDK AP releases the driver. Preserve the setup owner's deliberate credential handoff and cooperative stop acknowledgement.
Validated 91 source host tests, including 20 new AP ownership cases and nine reverted controls under ASan/UBSan. Hardware and firmware build qualification remain separate; the Arduino mode snapshot is not atomic.
Report the upload address and required network, honor AP switches on an existing uploader, and keep delayed WebConfig cleanup from disabling OTA WiFi. Preserve actionable startup errors and account for OTA in wireless state controls.
Exercise the production OTA lifecycle and stock website console, including power-saving idle sessions, in host regression tests.
