 For minor changes just submit your PR and I'll try to review it, but for anything more 'impactful' please open an Issue first and start a discussion. Is better to sound out what it is you want to achieve first, and try to come to a consensus on what the best approach is, especially when it impacts the structure or architecture of this codebase.

 Here are some general principals you should try to adhere to:
-* Keep it simple. Please, don't think like a high-level lang programmer. Think embedded, and keep code concise, without any unnecessary layers.
+* Keep it simple. Please, don't think like a high-level lang programmer. Think embedded, and keep code concise, without any unecessary layers.
 * No dynamic memory allocation, except during setup/begin functions.
 * Use the same brace and indenting style that's in the core source modules. (A .clang-format is prob going to be added soon, but please do NOT retroactively re-format existing code. This just creates unnecessary diffs that make finding problems harder)

-Bluefruit BLE Patch Script
-
-Patches Bluefruit library to fix semaphore leak bug that causes device lockup
-when BLE central disconnects unexpectedly (e.g., going out of range, supervision timeout).
-
-Patches applied:
-1. BLEConnection.h: Add _hvn_qsize member to track semaphore queue size
-2. BLEConnection.cpp: Store hvn_qsize and restore semaphore on disconnect
-
-Bug description:
- When a BLE central disconnects unexpectedly (reason=8 supervision timeout),
-  the BLE_GATTS_EVT_HVN_TX_COMPLETE event may never fire
- This leaves the _hvn_sem counting semaphore in a decremented state
- Since BLEConnection objects are reused (destructor never called), the
-  semaphore count is never restored
- Eventually all semaphore counts are exhausted and notify() blocks/fails

-## BLE Connection
-
-### Service and Characteristics
-
-MeshCore Companion devices expose a BLE service with the following UUIDs:
-
- **Service UUID**: `6E400001-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E`
- **RX Characteristic** (App → Firmware): `6E400002-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E`
- **TX Characteristic** (Firmware → App): `6E400003-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E`
-
-### Connection Steps
-
-1. **Scan for Devices**
-    - Scan for BLE devices advertising the MeshCore Service UUID
-    - Optionally filter by device name (typically contains "MeshCore" prefix)
-    - Note the device MAC address for reconnection
-
-2. **Connect to GATT**
-    - Connect to the device using the discovered MAC address
-    - Wait for connection to be established
-
-3. **Discover Services and Characteristics**
-    - Discover the service with UUID `6E400001-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E`
-    - Discover the RX characteristic `6E400002-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E`
-        - Your app writes to this, the firmware reads from this
-    - Discover the TX characteristic `6E400003-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E`
-        - The firmware writes to this, your app reads from this
-
-4. **Enable Notifications**
-    - Subscribe to notifications on the TX characteristic to receive data from the firmware
-
-5. **Send Initial Commands**
-    - Send `CMD_APP_START` to identify your app to firmware and get radio settings
-    - Send `CMD_DEVICE_QEURY` to fetch device info and negotiate supported protocol versions
-    - Send `CMD_SET_DEVICE_TIME` to set the firmware clock
-    - Send `CMD_GET_CONTACTS` to fetch all contacts
-    - Send `CMD_GET_CHANNEL` multiple times to fetch all channel slots
-    - Send `CMD_SYNC_NEXT_MESSAGE` to fetch the next message stored in firmware
-    - Setup listeners for push codes, such as `PUSH_CODE_MSG_WAITING` or `PUSH_CODE_ADVERT`
-    - See [Commands](#commands) section for information on other commands
-
-**Note**: MeshCore devices may disconnect after periods of inactivity. Implement auto-reconnect logic with exponential backoff.
-
-### BLE Write Type
-
-When writing commands to the RX characteristic, specify the write type:
-
- **Write with Response** (default): Waits for acknowledgment from device
- **Write without Response**: Faster but no acknowledgment
-
-**Platform-specific**:
-
- **Android**: Use `BluetoothGattCharacteristic.WRITE_TYPE_DEFAULT` or `WRITE_TYPE_NO_RESPONSE`
- **iOS**: Use `CBCharacteristicWriteType.withResponse` or `.withoutResponse`
- **Python (bleak)**: Use `write_gatt_char()` with `response=True` or `False`
-
-**Recommendation**: Use write with response for reliability.
-
-### MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
-
-The default BLE MTU is 23 bytes (20 bytes payload). For larger commands like `SET_CHANNEL` (66 bytes), you may need to:
-
-1. **Request Larger MTU**: Request MTU of 512 bytes if supported
-    - Android: `gatt.requestMtu(512)`
-    - iOS: `peripheral.maximumWriteValueLength(for:)`
-    - Python (bleak): MTU is negotiated automatically
-
-### Command Sequencing
-
-**Critical**: Commands must be sent in the correct sequence:
-
-1. **After Connection**:
-    - Wait for BLE connection to be established
-    - Wait for services/characteristics to be discovered
-    - Wait for notifications to be enabled
-    - Now you can safely send commands to the firmware
-
-2. **Command-Response Matching**:
-    - Send one command at a time
-    - Wait for a response before sending another command
-    - Use a timeout (typically 5 seconds)
-    - Match response to command by type (e.g: `CMD_GET_CHANNEL` → `RESP_CODE_CHANNEL_INFO`)
-
-### Command Queue Management
-
-For reliable operation, implement a command queue.
-
-**Queue Structure**:
-
- Maintain a queue of pending commands
- Track which command is currently waiting for a response
- Only send next command after receiving response or timeout
-
-**Error Handling**:
-
- On timeout, clear current command, process next in queue
- On error, log error, clear current command, process next
-
---
-
-## Packet Structure
-
-The MeshCore protocol uses a binary format with the following structure:
-
- **Commands**: Sent from app to firmware via RX characteristic
- **Responses**: Received from firmware via TX characteristic notifications
- **All multi-byte integers**: Little-endian byte order (except CayenneLPP which is Big-endian)
- **All strings**: UTF-8 encoding
-
-Most packets follow this format:
-```
-[Packet Type (1 byte)] [Data (variable length)]
-```
-
-The first byte indicates the packet type (see [Response Parsing](#response-parsing)).
-

-## Channel Management
-
-### Channel Types
-
-1. **Public Channel**
-    - Uses a publicly known 16-byte key: `8b3387e9c5cdea6ac9e5edbaa115cd72`
-    - Anyone can join this channel, messages should be considered public
-    - Used as the default public group chat
-2. **Hashtag Channels**
-    - Uses a secret key derived from the channel name
-    - It is the first 16 bytes of `sha256("#test")`
-    - For example hashtag channel `#test` has the key: `9cd8fcf22a47333b591d96a2b848b73f`
-    - Used as a topic based public group chat, separate from the default public channel
-3. **Private Channels**
-    - Uses a randomly generated 16-byte secret key
-    - Messages should be considered private between those that know the secret
-    - Users should keep the key secret, and only share with those you want to communicate with
-    - Used as a secure private group chat
-
-### Channel Lifecycle
-
-1. **Set Channel**:
-    - Fetch all channel slots, and find one with empty name and all-zero secret
-    - Generate or provide a 16-byte secret
-    - Send `CMD_SET_CHANNEL` with name and secret
-2. **Get Channel**:
-    - Send `CMD_GET_CHANNEL` with channel index
-    - Parse `RESP_CODE_CHANNEL_INFO` response
-3. **Delete Channel**:
-    - Send `CMD_SET_CHANNEL` with empty name and all-zero secret
-    - Or overwrite with a new channel
-

-| 0x08 | Device busy |
-| 0x09 | Not enough storage |
-
-**Note**: Error codes may vary by firmware version. Always check byte 1 of `PACKET_ERROR` response.
-
-### Partial Packet Handling
-
-BLE notifications may arrive in chunks, especially for larger packets. Implement buffering:
-
-**Implementation**:
-```python
-class PacketBuffer:
-    def __init__(self):
-        self.buffer = bytearray()
-        self.expected_length = None
-    
-    def add_data(self, data):
-        self.buffer.extend(data)
-        
-        # Check if we have a complete packet
-        if len(self.buffer) >= 1:
-            packet_type = self.buffer[0]
-            
-            # Determine expected length based on packet type
-            expected = self.get_expected_length(packet_type)
-            
-            if expected is not None and len(self.buffer) >= expected:
-                # Complete packet
-                packet = bytes(self.buffer[:expected])
-                self.buffer = self.buffer[expected:]
-                return packet
-            elif expected is None:
-                # Variable length packet - try to parse what we have
-                # Some packets have minimum length requirements
-                if self.can_parse_partial(packet_type):
-                    return self.try_parse_partial()
-        
-        return None  # Incomplete packet
-    
-    def get_expected_length(self, packet_type):
-        # Fixed-length packets
-        fixed_lengths = {
-            0x00: 5,  # PACKET_OK (minimum)
-            0x01: 2,  # PACKET_ERROR (minimum)
-            0x0A: 1,  # PACKET_NO_MORE_MSGS
-            0x14: 3,  # PACKET_BATTERY (minimum)
-        }
-        return fixed_lengths.get(packet_type)
-    
-    def can_parse_partial(self, packet_type):
-        # Some packets can be parsed partially
-        return packet_type in [0x12, 0x08, 0x11, 0x07, 0x10, 0x05, 0x0D]
-    
-    def try_parse_partial(self):
-        # Try to parse with available data
-        # Return packet if successfully parsed, None otherwise
-        # This is packet-type specific
-        pass
-```
-
-**Usage**:
-```python
-buffer = PacketBuffer()
-
-def on_notification_received(data):
-    packet = buffer.add_data(data)
-    if packet:
-        parse_and_handle_packet(packet)
-```
-
-### Response Handling
-
-1. **Command-Response Pattern**:
-   - Send command via TX characteristic
-   - Wait for response via RX characteristic (notification)
-   - Match response to command using sequence numbers or command type
-   - Handle timeout (typically 5 seconds)
-   - Use command queue to prevent concurrent commands
-
-2. **Asynchronous Messages**:
-   - Device may send messages at any time via RX characteristic
-   - Handle `PACKET_MESSAGES_WAITING` (0x83) by polling `GET_MESSAGE` command
-   - Parse incoming messages and route to appropriate handlers
-   - Buffer partial packets until complete
-
-3. **Response Matching**:
-   - Match responses to commands by expected packet type:
-     - `APP_START` → `PACKET_OK`
-     - `DEVICE_QUERY` → `PACKET_DEVICE_INFO`
-     - `GET_CHANNEL` → `PACKET_CHANNEL_INFO`
-     - `SET_CHANNEL` → `PACKET_OK` or `PACKET_ERROR`
-     - `SEND_CHANNEL_MESSAGE` → `PACKET_MSG_SENT`
-     - `GET_MESSAGE` → `PACKET_CHANNEL_MSG_RECV`, `PACKET_CONTACT_MSG_RECV`, or `PACKET_NO_MORE_MSGS`
-     - `GET_BATTERY` → `PACKET_BATTERY`
-
-4. **Timeout Handling**:
-   - Default timeout: 5 seconds per command
-   - On timeout: Log error, clear current command, proceed to next in queue
-   - Some commands may take longer (e.g., `SET_CHANNEL` may need 1-2 seconds)
-   - Consider longer timeout for channel operations
-
-5. **Error Recovery**:
-   - On `PACKET_ERROR`: Log error code, clear current command
-   - On connection loss: Clear command queue, attempt reconnection
-   - On invalid response: Log warning, clear current command, proceed
-

-## Example Implementation Flow
-
-### Initialization
-
-```python
-# 1. Scan for MeshCore device
-device = scan_for_device("MeshCore")
-
-# 2. Connect to BLE GATT
-gatt = connect_to_device(device)
-
-# 3. Discover services and characteristics
-service = discover_service(gatt, "0000ff00-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb")
-rx_char = discover_characteristic(service, "0000ff01-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb")
-tx_char = discover_characteristic(service, "0000ff02-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb")
-
-# 4. Enable notifications on RX characteristic
-enable_notifications(rx_char, on_notification_received)
-
-# 5. Send AppStart command
-send_command(tx_char, build_app_start())
-wait_for_response(PACKET_OK)
-```
-
-### Creating a Private Channel
-
-```python
-# 1. Generate 16-byte secret
-secret_16_bytes = generate_secret(16)  # Use CSPRNG
-secret_hex = secret_16_bytes.hex()
-
-# 2. Expand secret to 32 bytes using SHA-512
-import hashlib
-sha512_hash = hashlib.sha512(secret_16_bytes).digest()
-secret_32_bytes = sha512_hash[:32]
-
-# 3. Build SET_CHANNEL command
-channel_name = "YourChannelName"
-channel_index = 1  # Use 1-7 for private channels
-command = build_set_channel(channel_index, channel_name, secret_32_bytes)
-
-# 4. Send command
-send_command(tx_char, command)
-response = wait_for_response(PACKET_OK)
-
-# 5. Store secret locally (device won't return it)
-store_channel_secret(channel_index, secret_hex)
-```
-
-### Sending a Message
-
-```python
-# 1. Build channel message command
-channel_index = 1
-message = "Hello, MeshCore!"
-timestamp = int(time.time())
-command = build_channel_message(channel_index, message, timestamp)
-
-# 2. Send command
-send_command(tx_char, command)
-response = wait_for_response(PACKET_MSG_SENT)
-```
-
-### Receiving Messages
-
-```python
-def on_notification_received(data):
-    packet_type = data[0]
-    
-    if packet_type == PACKET_CHANNEL_MSG_RECV or packet_type == PACKET_CHANNEL_MSG_RECV_V3:
-        message = parse_channel_message(data)
-        handle_channel_message(message)
-    elif packet_type == PACKET_MESSAGES_WAITING:
-        # Poll for messages
-        send_command(tx_char, build_get_message())
-```
-
---
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Connection Management**:
-   - Implement auto-reconnect with exponential backoff
-   - Handle disconnections gracefully
-   - Store last connected device address for quick reconnection
-
-2. **Secret Management**:
-   - Always use cryptographically secure random number generators
-   - Store secrets securely (encrypted storage)
-   - Never log or transmit secrets in plain text
-
-3. **Message Handling**:
-   - Send `CMD_SYNC_NEXT_MESSAGE` when `PUSH_CODE_MSG_WAITING` is received
-   - Implement message deduplication to avoid display the same message twice
-
-4. **Channel Management**:
-    - Fetch all channel slots even if you encounter an empty slot
-    - Ideally save new channels into the first empty slot
-
-5. **Error Handling**:
-   - Implement timeouts for all commands (typically 5 seconds)
-   - Handle `RESP_CODE_ERR` responses appropriately
-

-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Connection Issues
-
- **Device not found**: Ensure device is powered on and advertising
- **Connection timeout**: Check Bluetooth permissions and device proximity
- **GATT errors**: Ensure proper service/characteristic discovery
-
-### Command Issues
-
- **No response**: Verify notifications are enabled, check connection state
- **Error responses**: Verify command format and check error code
- **Timeout**: Increase timeout value or try again
-
-### Message Issues
-
- **Messages not received**: Poll `GET_MESSAGE` command periodically
- **Duplicate messages**: Implement message deduplication using timestamp/content as a unique id
- **Message truncation**: Send long messages as separate shorter messages

-# nRF52 Power Management
-
-## Overview
-
-The nRF52 Power Management module provides battery protection features to prevent over-discharge, minimise likelihood of brownout and flash corruption conditions existing, and enable safe voltage-based recovery.
-
-## Features
-
-### Boot Voltage Protection
- Checks battery voltage immediately after boot and before mesh operations commence
- If voltage is below a configurable threshold (e.g., 3300mV), the device configures voltage wake (LPCOMP + VBUS) and enters protective shutdown (SYSTEMOFF)
- Prevents boot loops when battery is critically low
- Skipped when external power (USB VBUS) is detected
-
-### Voltage Wake (LPCOMP + VBUS)
- Configures the nRF52's Low Power Comparator (LPCOMP) before entering SYSTEMOFF
- Enables USB VBUS detection so external power can wake the device
- Device automatically wakes when battery voltage rises above recovery threshold or when VBUS is detected
-
-### Early Boot Register Capture
- Captures RESETREAS (reset reason) and GPREGRET2 (shutdown reason) before SystemInit() clears them
- Allows firmware to determine why it booted (cold boot, watchdog, LPCOMP wake, etc.)
- Allows firmware to determine why it last shut down (user request, low voltage, boot protection)
-
-### Shutdown Reason Tracking
-Shutdown reason codes (stored in GPREGRET2):
-| Code | Name | Description |
-|------|------|-------------|
-| 0x00 | NONE | Normal boot / no previous shutdown |
-| 0x4C | LOW_VOLTAGE | Runtime low voltage threshold reached |
-| 0x55 | USER | User requested powerOff() |
-| 0x42 | BOOT_PROTECT | Boot voltage protection triggered |
-
-## Supported Boards
-
-| Board | Implemented | LPCOMP wake | VBUS wake |
-|-------|-------------|-------------|-----------|
-| Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840 (`xiao_nrf52`) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
-| RAK4631 (`rak4631`) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
-| Heltec T114 (`heltec_t114`) | Yes | Yes | Yes |

-| Ikoka Nano/Stick/Handheld (nRF) | No | No | No |
-| Keepteen LT1 | No | No | No |
-| Minewsemi ME25LS01 | No | No | No |
-
-Notes:
- "Implemented" reflects Phase 1 (boot lockout + shutdown reason capture).
- User power-off on Heltec T114 does not enable LPCOMP wake.
- VBUS detection is used to skip boot lockout on external power, and VBUS wake is configured alongside LPCOMP when supported hardware exposes VBUS to the nRF52.
-
-## Technical Details
-
-### Architecture
-
-The power management functionality is integrated into the `NRF52Board` base class in `src/helpers/NRF52Board.cpp`. Board variants provide hardware-specific configuration via a `PowerMgtConfig` struct and override `initiateShutdown(uint8_t reason)` to perform board-specific power-down work and conditionally enable voltage wake (LPCOMP + VBUS).
-
-### Early Boot Capture
-
-A static constructor with priority 101 in `NRF52Board.cpp` captures the RESETREAS and GPREGRET2 registers before:
- SystemInit() (priority 102) - which clears RESETREAS
- Static C++ constructors (default priority 65535)
-
-This ensures we capture the true reset reason before any initialisation code runs.
-
-### Board Implementation
-
-To enable power management on a board variant:
-
-1. **Enable in platformio.ini**:
-   ```ini
-   -D NRF52_POWER_MANAGEMENT
-   ```
-
-2. **Define configuration in variant.h**:
-   ```c
-   #define PWRMGT_VOLTAGE_BOOTLOCK    3300   // Won't boot below this voltage (mV)
-   #define PWRMGT_LPCOMP_AIN          7      // AIN channel for voltage sensing
-   #define PWRMGT_LPCOMP_REFSEL       2      // REFSEL (0-6=1/8..7/8, 7=ARef, 8-15=1/16..15/16)
-   ```
-
-3. **Implement in board .cpp file**:
-   ```cpp
-   #ifdef NRF52_POWER_MANAGEMENT
-   const PowerMgtConfig power_config = {
-     .lpcomp_ain_channel = PWRMGT_LPCOMP_AIN,
-     .lpcomp_refsel = PWRMGT_LPCOMP_REFSEL,
-     .voltage_bootlock = PWRMGT_VOLTAGE_BOOTLOCK
-   };
-
-   void MyBoard::initiateShutdown(uint8_t reason) {
-     // Board-specific shutdown preparation (e.g., disable peripherals)
-     bool enable_lpcomp = (reason == SHUTDOWN_REASON_LOW_VOLTAGE ||
-                           reason == SHUTDOWN_REASON_BOOT_PROTECT);

-
-### Voltage Wake Configuration
-
-The LPCOMP (Low Power Comparator) is configured to:
- Monitor the specified AIN channel (0-7 corresponding to P0.02-P0.05, P0.28-P0.31)
- Compare against VDD fraction reference (REFSEL: 0-6=1/8..7/8, 7=ARef, 8-15=1/16..15/16)
- Detect UP events (voltage rising above threshold)
- Use 50mV hysteresis for noise immunity
- Wake the device from SYSTEMOFF when triggered
-
-VBUS wake is enabled via the POWER peripheral USBDETECTED event whenever `configureVoltageWake()` is used. This requires USB VBUS to be routed to the nRF52 (typical on nRF52840 boards with native USB).
-
-**LPCOMP Reference Selection (PWRMGT_LPCOMP_REFSEL)**:
-| REFSEL | Fraction | VBAT @ 1M/1M divider (VDD=3.0-3.3) | VBAT @ 1.5M/1M divider (VDD=3.0-3.3) |
-|--------|----------|------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
-| 0 | 1/8 | 0.75-0.82 V | 0.94-1.03 V |
-| 1 | 2/8 | 1.50-1.65 V | 1.88-2.06 V |
-| 2 | 3/8 | 2.25-2.47 V | 2.81-3.09 V |
-| 3 | 4/8 | 3.00-3.30 V | 3.75-4.12 V |
-| 4 | 5/8 | 3.75-4.12 V | 4.69-5.16 V |
-| 5 | 6/8 | 4.50-4.95 V | 5.62-6.19 V |
-| 6 | 7/8 | 5.25-5.77 V | 6.56-7.22 V |
-| 7 | ARef | - | - |
-| 8 | 1/16 | 0.38-0.41 V | 0.47-0.52 V |
-| 9 | 3/16 | 1.12-1.24 V | 1.41-1.55 V |
-| 10 | 5/16 | 1.88-2.06 V | 2.34-2.58 V |
-| 11 | 7/16 | 2.62-2.89 V | 3.28-3.61 V |
-| 12 | 9/16 | 3.38-3.71 V | 4.22-4.64 V |
-| 13 | 11/16 | 4.12-4.54 V | 5.16-5.67 V |
-| 14 | 13/16 | 4.88-5.36 V | 6.09-6.70 V |
-| 15 | 15/16 | 5.62-6.19 V | 7.03-7.73 V |
-
-**Important**: For boards with a voltage divider on the battery sense pin, LPCOMP measures the divided voltage. Use:
-`VBAT_threshold ≈ (VDD * fraction) * divider_scale`, where `divider_scale = (Rtop + Rbottom) / Rbottom` (e.g., 2.0 for 1M/1M, 2.5 for 1.5M/1M, 3.0 for XIAO).
-
-### SoftDevice Compatibility
-
-The power management code checks whether SoftDevice is enabled and uses the appropriate API:
- When SD enabled: `sd_power_*` functions
- When SD disabled: Direct register access (NRF_POWER->*)
-
-This ensures compatibility regardless of BLE stack state.
-
-## CLI Commands
-
-Power management status can be queried via the CLI:
-
-| Command | Description |
-|---------|-------------|
-| `get pwrmgt.support` | Returns "supported" or "unsupported" |
-| `get pwrmgt.source` | Returns current power source - "battery" or "external" (5V/USB power) |
-| `get pwrmgt.bootreason` | Returns reset and shutdown reason strings |
-| `get pwrmgt.bootmv` | Returns boot voltage in millivolts |
-
-On boards without power management enabled, all commands except `get pwrmgt.support` return:
-```
-ERROR: Power management not supported
-```
-
-## Debug Output
-
-When `MESH_DEBUG=1` is enabled, the power management module outputs:
-```
-DEBUG: PWRMGT: Reset = Wake from LPCOMP (0x20000); Shutdown = Low Voltage (0x4C)
-DEBUG: PWRMGT: Boot voltage = 3450 mV (threshold = 3300 mV)
-DEBUG: PWRMGT: LPCOMP wake configured (AIN7, ref=3/8 VDD)
-```
-
-## Phase 2 (Planned)
-
- Runtime voltage monitoring
- Voltage state machine (Normal -> Warning -> Critical -> Shutdown)
- Configurable thresholds
- Load shedding callbacks for power reduction
- Deep sleep integration
- Scheduled wake-up
- Extended sleep with periodic monitoring
-

+# Maintenance Tools
+
+This directory contains automation for managing our **Friendly Fork**. It allows us to integrate community-submitted Pull Requests from the upstream repository into our local development branches.
+
+## Why this exists
+
+In firmware development, critical bug fixes or hardware support often exist in the upstream "Pull Request" queue long before they are officially merged. This tool allows us to build an integrated firmware version that includes those necessary patches while remaining syncable with the official source.
+
+## Usage
+
+### 1. Prerequisites
+
+You must have the original repository added as a remote named `upstream`:
+
+```bash
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore.git
+```
+
+### 2. Basic Commands
+
+**Apply specific patches:**
+To pull in PR #1338 and PR #1400 from the upstream project:
+
+```bash
+./tools/maint/apply_patches.sh 1338 1400
+
+```
+
+**Start over (Reset):**
+To wipe the integrated branch and reset it to match the official upstream `main` branch exactly:
+
+```bash
+./tools/maint/apply_patches.sh --reset
+
+```
+
+## Traceability
+
+Every time this script runs, it updates `patch_manifest.log`. This file tracks:
+
+* The date of the integration.
+* The base commit SHA we started from.
+* The specific commit SHA of every PR applied.
+
+**This log is essential for debugging firmware regressions.** If the hardware fails, check the manifest to identify which experimental patch might be the cause.
+
+---
+
+### A Note on Merge Conflicts
+
+If a PR cannot be applied automatically, the script will abort the merge. You will need to:
+
+1. Manually merge the PR.
+2. Resolve the conflicts in your editor.
+3. Commit the result.
+4. Manually update the `patch_manifest.log`.
