Integrate compatible observer board, preset, WebConfig, display, CI, and policy updates. Preserve the checkout's newer MQTT binary preferences and WiFi bridge runtime where the forked implementations conflict. Keep ThinkNode observer networking WiFi-based until the Ethernet transport is wired into that runtime.
Codex review of the previous commit found two real problems.
The routes go live in startLanMode()/startSetupMode(), one tick before
probeBoardCommands() first runs, so a status request can land in between.
That made _board_cmds a genuine cross-task race despite the comment
claiming otherwise, and — worse — let /api/status answer "no board
commands" before the board had been asked. The page reads status once,
so a browser that loaded in that window hid working FEM controls for the
whole session.
The probe result is now published and read under _mux, and /api/status
OMITS board_cmds until the probe has run, which is not the same as
reporting an empty list. The page treats the absent field as "not known
yet" and re-polls with backoff; the audit waits for it the same way,
rather than auditing a board it only half knows.
Probing from the start path instead would close the window, but
Callbacks::execCommand is documented as loop-task-only and `start
webconfig` is itself mid-handleCommand, so that trades a race for
re-entrancy.
The audit never executed fan.lo or fan.hi, which have no getter and so no
round-trip: they were only ever matched as strings. They now run for real,
including the four rejection paths, and the mock grew --probe-delay so the
retry path is exercised rather than assumed.
The FEM commands moved out of CommonCLI into Board::handleCommand(), and
the T-Beam 1W fan control was added there too, but the portal never caught
up: `radio.fem.txgain` and the fan commands were missing from the terminal
table entirely, while `radio.fem.rxgain` was offered on every board even
though a board with no hook now answers "??:" rather than "unsupported".
Whether a node answers these is a property of the board, not of the build,
so the page cannot know from the firmware version. Ask the board instead:
probeBoardCommands() runs each candidate getter once on the loop task at
startup and keeps the ones that answer, which needs no per-variant list
because Board::handleCommand() already reports whether it handled a
command. /api/status names the survivors and the page hides everything
else, so adding a command to a variant means one entry in WC_BOARD_CMDS
rather than an edit per board.
The two FEM keys also become Radio-panel toggles, gated the same way;
their `set` reaches the board hook through the existing config batch, so
only the allowlist and /api/config needed to grow.
webconfig_cli_audit.py now scans variants/*/*Board.cpp for the boards that
actually build the portal, checks set-only keys in the reverse direction,
and verifies every gate is a command some board answers; the mock gained
--board-cmds so both shapes of board are testable. `stop ota` joins
NOT_OFFERED: `start ota` cannot run from the portal, so it has nothing to
stop.
The preset table is fleet state, not a build detail. A slot's preset is stored
in /mqtt.json by name, and firmware that does not know a name does not merely
ignore it: MQTTPrefsSerializer repairs it to "none" and CommonCLI writes the
repaired file back to flash. A node that rolls back to a channel missing a
preset therefore loses that slot permanently, and re-upgrading does not bring
it back.
The parity gate compared preset names only, deliberately allowing URL, CA and
credential drift. It now requires src/helpers/MQTTPresets.h to be byte-identical
between the channels, which also catches that drift — the two channels are meant
to dial the same brokers.
That is only workable if the file holds no channel-specific code, so
mqttPresetEnforcesTokenExp() moves to the new MQTTPresetPolicy.h. It was the
sole difference between the two channels' copies, and with it moved they match
exactly today. Policy keyed off the table belongs there from now on; the table
itself stays pure data.
The older name-only comparison stays available without --exact for ad-hoc use,
and the checker's self-test now covers both modes, including that --exact
rejects a config-only change the name check waves through.
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.
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.
Move OTA_HEAP_CONTEXT from two hand-edited envs to a pre-script gated on
build.mcu == "esp32", so every classic ESP32 image gets it and none can drift.
S2/S3/C-series and nRF52 keep the .bss singleton: they have no equivalent
static-DRAM ceiling, so there a guaranteed-present workspace is the better
trade for what is ultimately a recovery path. It has to be a build flag rather
than a header default, because OTA_HEAP_CONTEXT must hold the same value in
every translation unit that sees OtaContext.h - OtaContext.cpp included - and a
header test on CONFIG_IDF_TARGET_ESP32 would depend on include order relative
to sdkconfig.h. The script defers to OTA_SHARED_COMPANION_QUEUE where a Full
Companion recipe already owns the storage.
Fix a gap this exposes in the roles that now use it. Only CLI entry points
acquire the context, so once it was released, a repeater with the temporary
radio profile up would no longer serve or announce its own firmware - LoRa OTA
would look enabled and silently do nothing. ota_service_temp_radio_context()
holds the workspace for exactly the temp-radio window and hands it back
outside it, which is where the saving was coming from anyway. Wired into the
repeater, room server and sensor loops; the Companion keeps its own
acquire-on-host-demand policy, since its context is borrowed from the offline
message queue and must not be taken speculatively.
