- Unselected message bubbles no longer carry a stray light-filled header
strip behind the sender name -- the one place with a filled patch on an
otherwise plain row. Selected fill is unchanged.
- Received DMs and channel posts now show their hop count as the same tiny
digit icon a sent message already uses for its repeater/echo count, using
the hop path the mesh already records for incoming messages.
- DM/channel history list: UP at the oldest message now wraps straight to
the newest (not the compose row), closing the loop the same way every
other list in the UI does at its ends.
- A received message's age no longer goes blank when its timestamp reads
slightly ahead of the device's own clock (sender/receiver skew, or an
unsynced receiver) or is genuinely unknown -- both now show the receipt
time instead of leaving the row with just a name and hop count.
- release-notes.md: add the v1.28 section covering the above plus this
cycle's already-committed dev fixes (GPS altitude field, units
compliance, noise floor, Msg wake location, bot relay tracking, PR #34).
- Add .github/workflows/build-solo-sim.yml: builds the companion+repeater
WASM sim via Emscripten and attaches it as a fixed-name asset to the tag's
draft release, independent of the hardware firmware build job.

Squash merge of feat/location-beacon-alerts-autopause (v1.21).
Features:
- Live Location Sharing — broadcast position as movement-gated [LOC]
messages to a channel or contact; live shares show as map pins with
distance/bearing in Nearby Nodes and a status-bar indicator. [LOC] is
parsed in DMs, channel messages and room messages; DM shares name the
sender.
- Locator (geofence) — arm a geofence around a saved waypoint or a person
(live [LOC] or last-known position), alert on arrive/leave or near/far,
with an optional homing beeper (gated to arrive/both modes). Arm from
Tools > Locator, Nearby Nodes, or Waypoints; target picker lists
favourites first, clearable via a "None" entry. Active target is drawn
as a flag on the map.
- One active target shared across Locator / Navigate / Map via a single
resolver (resolvePersonPos / activeTargetPos) that prefers a live
[LOC] share over the last-advertised GPS fix.
- Follow live contacts — Navigate to a live-sharing contact follows them
as they move and adds an ETA line; quick-share your own position from
the Map.
- Map & status-bar upgrades — home mini-map gets a north marker, scale
tick, and a connected trail line (was disconnected dots); status line
shows tracked-node count, an arrow + distance to the active Locator/Nav
target (falling back to the nearest live-tracked contact); GPS fix icon
in the top status bar, shown only on GPS boards with GPS enabled.
- Trail auto-pause — recording freezes on stops (banking elapsed time,
breaking the map line across the idle gap) and resumes on movement
without ending the session.
- Streaming trail simplification — GPS points are simplified in-stream
via a fixed-corridor (Reumann-Witkam) pass tuned for fidelity: straight
runs collapse to their endpoints, curves stay bounded to the Min-dist
tolerance, so the 512-point buffer covers a far longer route than a
flat point budget would suggest.
- Collapsible Tools (Location / Comms / System sections, fold-in-place
like Settings) and page-indicator icons on the home carousel.
- Waypoint coordinate editor — add a waypoint by scroll-editing lat/lon
digit by digit.
Fixes:
- Critical: low-heap hang and contact loss on RAM-tight builds. Halved
message-history scrollback rings (recovering ~14 KB free heap) and
made contacts/channels/prefs persistence atomic (temp file + rename),
so an interrupted save can no longer corrupt or wipe the store.
- Serial.write() bounded so a stalled USB host can't hang the device.
- Nearby Nodes: live [LOC] senders respect the type filter, sort by
shared position, and the list refreshes so live shares bubble up.
- Map: live contacts are labelled before waypoints.
- GPS status icon hidden when GPS is off in Settings.
- Splash screen no longer truncates a pre-release tag's own dash (e.g.
v1.21-rc1) when stripping the build's commit-hash suffix.
- Null-guarded the Locator target picker; clamped loc-share channel
index on load.
Under the hood:
- -Os size optimisation on the e-ink and GAT562 30S solo envs.

- geo::parseLatLon now rounds lat/lon in double (matching the Add-by-coords
form) instead of through a float cast that lost ~1 m near 1e8.
- NearbyScreen: preserve the ping menu's selected row across a rebuild
instead of snapping back to "Send" when a result line arrives.
- NearbyScreen: guard the ping-menu input path so a vanished contact
(selectedStoredPubKey == false) closes the popup rather than acting on an
uninitialised pub-key buffer.

Locations already travel as plain text ({loc} expands to "lat,lon"), so any
message carrying coordinates can now be acted on. In the fullscreen message
view, the context-menu (Hold Enter) gains Navigate and Save waypoint
entries whenever the message contains a coordinate — alongside Reply.
- geo::parseLatLon: shared scanner for an embedded "lat,lon" (the {loc}
format), with an optional [WAY] tag that supplies a label. Range-checked,
requires a decimal point to avoid matching plain integer pairs. Will also
back the waypoint-share feature later.
- QuickMsgScreen: Navigate opens NavView inline (To/Hdg/distance, honouring
the global Units setting) over the message, back returns to it; Save
waypoint stores the point (label from [WAY], else auto-named). Works in
both DM and channel histories, and on incoming or outgoing messages.

Add a single "Units" choice (Settings › System: Metric / Imperial) that
governs every distance and speed shown in Tools — Nearby Nodes, the Trail
views, and the navigate-to-point screen.
- NodePrefs: units_imperial (global) + trail_show_pace (Trail readout mode),
schema bumped 0xC0DE0005 → 0006. The old combined trail_units_idx is kept
for file-layout stability but no longer drives anything; upgraders default
to metric + speed.
- geo::fmtDist gains an imperial mode (ft below ~1000 ft, then miles).
- NavView / Nearby / Trail (waypoint list, Summary distance, List deltas,
map scale-bar label) all format through the global preference.
- Trail's action-menu "Units" row becomes a Speed/Pace readout toggle; the
km-vs-mi unit now follows the global setting instead of being one of four
combined options.

Phase 1 of the navigation feature. The geographic helpers were private
statics in NearbyScreen; move them to a header-inline geo:: namespace so
the upcoming Waypoints / course-over-ground code can reuse them. NearbyScreen
keeps thin forwarders so its call sites are unchanged. No behaviour change.
