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.

Default to retained history with a separate pending count, and add persistent display.inbox CLI modes for history, pending, and unread. Preserve browsing while clients are connected and show the active USB or Bluetooth connection.
Fixes#5
Persist separate display modes and timeouts in seconds for battery and USB power, expose four controls in WebConfig and CLI, and apply one shared policy across display-equipped roles.
Detect R8 external power from a USB host or calibrated battery voltage above 4.21 V, with cached sampling and hysteresis. Add policy, persistence, browser, and R8 power-detection regression coverage.
Reserve board-specific GPIOs, make ESP-NOW channel/format handling configurable, and coordinate WiFi, BLE, NTP, MQTT, and host actions safely.
Add the Indicator message page, exclusive transport selector, dynamic 480/320 rendering, larger transport typography, pairing cleanup, and corresponding tests and documentation.
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.
AUTO_OFF_MILLIS is a power-save feature aimed at battery use. When the
board reports isExternalPowered() == true (USB or other DC source),
blanking the screen serves no purpose — there's nothing to conserve.
But OLEDs are vulnerable to burn-in with static content, so this
behaviour is gated behind a new build flag KEEP_DISPLAY_ON_USB. Default
is unchanged from upstream — the display blanks after AUTO_OFF_MILLIS
on USB or battery. Variants that ship with an LCD instead of an OLED
(e.g. heltec_t096) can opt in by adding -D KEEP_DISPLAY_ON_USB to
their env, gaining always-on-while-powered without exposing OLED users
to burn-in risk.
When the flag is enabled, the implementation refreshes _auto_off every
loop iteration while externally powered, so the timer naturally counts
a fresh AUTO_OFF_MILLIS window from the moment power is removed —
no instantaneous-blank-on-unplug.
Applied to all three companion_radio UI flavours (ui-new, ui-tiny,
ui-orig). Boards without an isExternalPowered() override use the
base-class default in MeshCore.h (returns false), so battery-powered
behaviour is unchanged everywhere.
