Arm the test watchdog through initial loop service and assert both recovery boundaries. Update cooperative contact negative controls for the current background APIs and run the existing USB, contact persistence, and startup regressions in Actions.
Validation: 1762 native tests, 48 added-workflow fixture tests, and 18 related persistence/logging checks passed locally.
Use a bounded uzlib-derived block encoder with the existing strict tinf decoder, qualify infrastructure roles, budget temporary RAM, and cache running-image metadata. Add self-serve CLI and policy, USB host-loss sleep grace, hardware test harnesses, regression tests, and CI coverage.
Keep Companion and Terminal Chat profiles unchanged; retain full-sensor and reduced-sensor OTA builds. Add compact crypto and OTA names, qualified display asset compression, font license packaging, and scope regression tests.
Keep the graceful final-ACK TCP close and optional FEM control guards from
pixitha's browser compatibility fixes. Replace Brotli negotiation and duplicate
page assets with one gzip representation compressed by Google Zopfli 0.4.3
using 1,000 iterations. Compress the bootstrap, captive success, compact OTA,
and static WiFi setup pages with the same validated build cache.
Honor gzip quality values and wildcard precedence. Validate compressed OTA
page evidence in the firmware capability gate, and add native and Python
regressions plus CI coverage. Remove the unused Brotli build dependency.
Validation: 54 native tests, 56 Python/browser checks, full V4.3 build and
verified application flash. Actual V4 WiFi responses matched the generated
gzip assets; 30 repeat downloads completed without reboot. Chromium loaded
the setup and settings pages without script or transfer errors. Physical
Android testing is pending because the Pi detects no phone over USB or mDNS.
Integrate PowerSaving-v17 through a27e78e4 (six new commits).
Use its 10-minute awake / 30-minute asleep companion GPS profile and
separate requested GPS state from receiver power in CLI diagnostics.
Include its nRF52 sensor debug-console settle delay and debug option.
Resolve overlapping GPS v2 changes using the current sensor callbacks,
which already implement live power-saving transitions, user-off control,
telemetry acquisition, wrap-safe sleep/wake timers and retained Airoha
RTC backup. Preserve preference persistence, telemetry cache/holds and
UART/shared-rail ownership safeguards across all four GPS drivers.
Add a compiled production GPS status regression test and run it in CI.
Validated 23 native GPS/power tests, preference and nRF52 pin contracts,
and firmware builds for T1000-E BLE Companion, MeshTracker X1 USB
Companion, Heltec Tracker Repeater, Mesh Solar Room and RAK4631 Sensor.
Roll back failed password and advert changes, propagate identity-store results, and report unsaved common and observer settings. Correct observer filter persistence and KISS OTA capability claims. Add fault-injection and packaging regressions.
Read identities up to three times before allowing replacement, publish only complete reads, and require new startup keys to be saved with bounded retries.
Use authoritative replay-file metadata throughout persistence and clock recovery. Validate setperm input before narrowing or mutating roles, and add production-path regression coverage.
Recover usable ESP32 preferences and channels before permitting replacement; keep identity and ACL persistence transactional and complete.
Preserve MQTT commit boundaries, restore OTA identity and policy after deferred allocation, retain radio gain retries, and reject invalid flood limits. Add production-path fault regressions and CI coverage.
