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.
Let the mesh timed OTA retry guard own byte-identical requests instead of the permanent bridge FIFO. Bind bridge ingress to its primary profile generation and preserve UART reflection/liveness protections. Verified a LoRa to ESP-NOW to LoRa update with outage recovery and install.
Delay automatic GPS-free NodeInfo until a quiet TX gap, invalidate stale metadata after durable node renames, and refresh the profile when same-tuple publication releases its busy guard. Cover the real Companion methods and document the behavior.
Preserve Reader streaming during Morse timing and block synchronous inflate/progress interleaving. Fail closed on uncertain port ownership and enforce application-only DFU packages before querying USB. Cover the guards in CI and clarify experimental benchmark scope.
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.
