User report: a repeater path popup's short "?A1B2C3D4"-style hop tags
(often just a couple pixels over the box width) felt stuck rather than
scrolling, while longer names (Nodes list) already felt right after the
recent marqueeHoldMs() speedup.
Root cause: the swing marquee's hold applies uniformly regardless of how
much text is actually hidden. When only 1-2 codepoints overflow, the full
cycle is hold + a single, barely-there step + hold + step back -- nearly
all hold, for almost no new information revealed each side. New
marqueeHoldForSkip(skip_cp) scales the hold down (to 1/3 or 1/2) when the
computed reveal distance is small; longer overflows keep the full hold,
since there's real text worth pausing to read.

release-notes.md was missing three shipped changes: the Msg-wake toggle +
all-home-pages default, the repeater advert-interval default (2min->6min),
and three Fixes (settings-persist-on-reboot, RTC bootstrap floor-not-
rollback, ESP32 diagnostics heap/stack).
marqueeHoldMs() reverted 1500/2500 -> 700/1200 (OLED/e-ink) -- the longer
hold made the swing-marquee's full reveal cycle too slow for long message
previews.

BaseChatMesh::bootstrapRTCfromContacts() called setCurrentTime(latest+1)
unconditionally. The newest contact's lastmod proves the clock must be at
*least* that late -- it says nothing about it being any earlier -- so on
any node that already has a better time source (a board with a real RTC,
or the Emscripten sim whose SimRTCClock is backed by the host's wall
clock) this dragged a correct clock backwards to whatever timestamp
happened to be persisted alongside the contact list. Measured in the
sim: ~9s behind real time after every reboot, growing with how long the
previous session ran.
Also adds sim_test_sync_time(epoch_secs) next to the other
SIM_PLATFORM/__EMSCRIPTEN__ test hooks, so a host page can re-anchor the
RTC on every (re)boot. The clock is live state the real mesh writes to at
runtime -- a peer whose own clock runs ahead pushes ours forward, which
is right on a node with no better source and, with meshcore-solo-site's
cross-visitor relay, means one skewed visitor can drag everyone. On a
demo running on someone's computer, "reset the device" should also mean
"the clock is correct again".

genericBuzzer (src/helpers/ui/buzzer.h/.cpp) gets a third platform branch,
#elif defined(SIM_PLATFORM), alongside the existing NRF52 (direct PWM) and
NonBlockingRtttl paths -- purely additive, no changes to either real-hardware
branch. It reuses the NRF52 branch's already hardware-free RTTTL parser
(_parseHeader/_parseNext/_noteFreq, now shared via a widened guard) but
tracks (current frequency, note-end-time) instead of touching real PWM/timer
registers, advancing on plain millis() polling from loop() -- same
non-blocking shape UITask already drives every tick.
Wired into the sim build the same way every real board sets its buzzer pin
(-D PIN_BUZZER=<n> in build_flags/DEFINES; here it's a dummy sentinel since
there's no real pin, just something to activate the existing #ifdef
PIN_BUZZER guards in UITask.h/.cpp/SoundNotifier.h unchanged), plus two new
small UITask accessors (isBuzzerPlaying/buzzerFreqHz/buzzerVolume) and three
EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE exports so a host page can poll the buzzer's state.
Browser side: one Web Audio oscillator+gain per companion instance (index.html
single-instance; mesh.html per A/B, not R which is headless), created lazily
on the first real user gesture (AudioContext autoplay policy), polled every
20ms and mapped to the oscillator frequency/gain -- so every notification
sound, ringtone, alarm, and volume-blip that already worked on real hardware
now actually produces audio in the browser, unchanged at the call-site level.
Verified end-to-end with real RTTTL playback traces (not just "no errors"):
the startup jingle's exact note frequencies (C6/E6/G6) and a real DM-received
notification triggering the receiving instance's Web Audio gain node from 0
to its mapped volume and back, matching the actual "MsgRcv3" melody's notes.

Ports examples/simple_repeater to variants/sim/ (new sim_simple_repeater
native env + build_wasm_repeater.sh) and adds a JS "ether"
(variants/sim/web/mesh.html) that bridges two real companion_radio WASM
instances through a real simple_repeater instance in a strict A<->R<->B
topology (no direct A-B link), proving genuine relay routing rather than
a shortcut.
Also fixes multi-instance issues Phase 2's single-instance design never
surfaced: SimDisplayDriver's canvas context/id caching was keyed on a
single global instead of per-instance, and both wasm builds were missing
_malloc/_free/HEAPU8 runtime exports needed for the ether to poke bytes
into an instance's memory.

New board variant compiling the unmodified MyMesh/UITask/DataStore app
logic against real mesh::Radio/MainBoard/RTCClock/RNG interfaces, for
running the actual firmware outside embedded hardware:
- Native (plain g++, platform = native): ASCII-art display over stdout,
stdin-driven input, local-disk-backed DataStore/IdentityStore.
- Emscripten/WASM (variants/sim/build_wasm.sh, since PlatformIO's native
platform force-overrides any CC/CXX toolchain override back to system
clang++): canvas-backed display, IDBFS-backed persistence across page
reloads, JS-callable input via sim_enqueue_key(), emscripten_set_main_loop.
Real rweather/Crypto (AES128/SHA256/Ed25519) vendored unmodified and
proven working on both targets. variants/sim/web/index.html is a bare
verification harness, not the polished website embed.
DeviceDiag::getHeapStats()/getStackFreeBytes() only had an implementation
for NRF52_PLATFORM; every other platform fell through to the 0/0 stub, so
Diagnostics > Live showed "N/A" for Heap free and Stack free on ESP32
boards (Heltec v3/v4) -- exactly the boards where that number is most
useful to see. Added an ESP32 branch using heap_caps_get_free_size()/
heap_caps_get_total_size() (MALLOC_CAP_8BIT, matching the general-purpose
heap `new`/malloc() actually draw from) and the same
uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark() call nRF52 already uses, since Arduino-ESP32
runs on FreeRTOS too.

The animated marquee that lets a selected row scroll into view instead of
truncating behind an ellipsis uses a small "is this the same text as last
frame" buffer, _marquee_text[64], compared against the current frame's
temp_str[256] via strcmp(). For any text at or past that 64-byte cutoff,
temp_str simply has more bytes than _marquee_text can hold, so strcmp
always finds a difference at the truncation point -- is_new evaluates true
on every single call, which resets _marquee_skip_cp and _marquee_phase back
to the start every frame. Short labels and names (what this was written
for) stayed under the cutoff and animated fine; a longer message-body
preview -- letting a message be read from the list without opening
fullscreen, an emergent use of the same feature -- got stuck holding at its
first frame forever.
Bumped _marquee_text to 256 to match temp_str/window's own cap in the same
function, so the comparison is exact instead of silently truncated. Static
+192 bytes on the one global DisplayDriver instance; verified against RAM
usage on all four build targets (all comfortably under headroom).
This lives in src/helpers/ui/, shared with upstream, unlike the rest of
this session's ui-new/-only work -- kept as its own commit.
Selecting a row whose ellipsized text overflows now animates a "swing"
marquee: holds at the start, scrolls to reveal the full tail, holds
there, then scrolls back and repeats. Unselected/non-overflowing text
is unchanged (still a static "..."). E-ink gets slower, coarser steps
(fewer, cheaper partial refreshes) than OLED; unchanged frames are
already skipped by the display's CRC diff, so idle holds are free.
Wired into every screen with a selectable row: home favourites, DM/
channel lists and message bodies, Settings, popup menus, Bot, Admin,
Nearby, Waypoints, Locator, Live Share, and the alarm screen.

At the edge of BLE range the phone repeatedly drops and reconnects, and
each queued outgoing frame's write can block the main loop up to 100ms
(Bluefruit's notify() waits on a free HVN packet slot). The fixed 250ms
retry throttle re-triggered that blocking wait constantly during a bad
link, making the device feel almost unresponsive. Retries now back off
exponentially (250ms -> 2s cap) on repeated failure and reset on the
next successful send.

- Settings > Radio > Scope: type a community/region name on-device (derives
the shared key the same "#name" -> SHA256 way as DEFAULT_FLOOD_SCOPE_NAME),
previously only settable from a connected app.
- Tools > Repeater > Scope only + Extra scopes: only relay flood traffic
matching the device's own scope or a comma-separated list of additional
scopes, without changing what scope the device's own messages send under.
No-op while unconfigured.
- getCADEnabled()/getInterferenceThreshold() were hardcoded off on
companion_radio; CAD now auto-enables whenever RX power-save (duty-cycle)
is active, since the noise floor isn't kept fresh during duty-cycle sleep.
- Message truncation to fit the send frame could split a multi-byte UTF-8
character in half; now stops at the last complete character.
- The default "Public" channel was unconditionally re-added at every boot
before the saved channel list was loaded, so deleting it never stuck.
Only seeded now on a genuinely fresh device (no channel file yet).
- Tools > Nodes read contacts from the wrong starting offset, landing on
internally-reserved bookkeeping slots instead of real contacts -- showed
as blank "Unknown" rows and silently dropped that many real contacts off
the end of the list.
- resetContacts() only cleared the first few reserved slots, not the whole
contact table, contrary to its own comment; only reachable today via
private-key import, fixed to match stated intent regardless.
- Keyboard's multi-line text preview could render the cursor on an empty
line below short typed text instead of right after it.

Home key toggles the keyboard backlight but wasn't going through
checkDisplayOn() like every other TCA8418 key, so it couldn't wake a
sleeping display or extend the auto-off timer.
Also: removed a no-op #elif branch in ST7789Display.cpp (same values as
the #else it duplicated), and ENABLE_SCREENSHOT on the Cardputer ADV
solo env, which does nothing since ST7789Display has no getBuffer().
Two races between the new GPS duty-cycle scheduler and code that changes
GPS state independently of it:
- gpsDutyCycleLoop() capped every "GPS on" phase at a fixed 60s and would
stop_gps() as soon as a fix went valid, with no awareness of an
in-flight "!gps fix" bot request -- so a fix's own up-to-300s acquire
window (and its 10s averaging phase) could get cut short by the
scheduler shutting GPS off mid-request. MyMesh::isGpsFixPending() now
feeds into UITask's existing "is anything live using GPS right now"
hold, alongside trail/live-share/locator/nearby.
- setSettingValue("gps", ...) (Settings toggle, bot !gps on/off, CLI)
starts/stops GPS directly without resetting the scheduler's own phase
timer, so a manual toggle could land on a stale, already-expired
deadline left over from before -- immediately re-stopping GPS a tick
after turning it on. The phase timer now resets on every external
change, so the next duty-cycle tick re-arms fresh.

Adopts hardware Channel Activity Detection (wired into
RadioLibWrapper::isChannelActive() alongside our RSSI-threshold check
and RX duty-cycle power-save), MCU temperature telemetry, LR2021
standby workaround, DISPLAY_SCALE/FLIP overrides, NRF52Board
shutdownPeripherals() refactor, and misc upstream fixes.
Declines upstream's ConfigSerializer-based NodePrefs rewrite,
MultiSerialInterface/interface_manager, and UIColor palette system —
each would have broken large parts of the Solo-specific feature set
(NodePrefs fields, per-variant single serial_interface, enum-based
DisplayDriver::Color). Flagged as candidate follow-up migrations, not
permanent no's.
Also fixes several pre-existing bugs surfaced while chasing silent
merge breaks (stale newMsg() override signature in ui-tiny/ui-orig,
dead UIEventType::newContactMessage case, missing ContactsIterator
init), bumps FIRMWARE_VERSION/MESHCORE_VERSION to 1.17, and fixes a
missing <cstdlib> include that broke the native ConfigSerializer unit
tests.
Verified via 13+ pio run builds across ESP32/nRF52, all 3 companion UI
variants, and 7 display drivers, plus the full native unit test suite
(33/33 passing).

Introduced consistent preferences for external LoRa FEM RX and TX gain settings in NodePrefs. Updated companion MyMesh to apply these settings during initialization and transmission. Added unit tests to verify the round-trip serialization of these new preferences.
New M5Stack Cardputer ADV variant (ESP32-S3, ST7789 TFT, built-in TCA8418
QWERTY keyboard, PI4IOE5V6408 LoRa-cap IO-expander autodetect), and a
KeyShield accessory variant for the existing LilyGO T-Echo Lite (external
TCA8418 T9 keypad + AW21009 backlight driver). Both keyboards share one
ENV_USE_TCA8418 polling block in UITask.cpp::loop(), coexisting with the
unrelated CardKB support (different chip/address/flag).
Fixes carried in from the contributed T-Echo Lite code: swapped GPS RX/TX
pins, TX-LED hooks, TCXO voltage, missing GxEPD2_122_T61 panel include.
Fixed during integration: I2C bus was probed for an RTC before Wire.begin()
configured its pins on Cardputer ADV (silent RTC autodetect failure).
Added dedicated *_solo_dual release envs for both boards (auto-picked up by
the solo-firmware release workflow). Gave the T-Echo Lite KeyShield solo
build -Os/-Ofast-unflag like every other nRF52 solo build (was missing,
cut flash usage from 90.7% to 61.4%).
Ported the shared misc-fixed 6x9 font (full Latin/Greek/Cyrillic, opt-in via
OLED_MISC_FIXED_FONT) to ST7789Display for the Cardputer's on-screen
keyboard. ST7789Spi isn't Adafruit_GFX-based like the other single-font
drivers, and this panel's logical->physical scale is non-integer, so glyphs
are re-packed to XBM and blitted through the existing drawXbm(), which
already does correct fractional-scale boundary math, rather than
duplicating that logic.

Three power-saving additions, prompted by comparing this fork's existing
RX duty-cycle support against IoTThinks/EasySkyMesh:
- RX duty-cycle watchdog: the SX126x's hardware RX<->sleep sequencer runs
with no MCU polling, so a desync (a known failure mode) previously had
nothing watching for it. A new watchdog samples the BUSY pin every tick;
no transition for too long triggers a soft re-arm, then a full chip
reset (with cached radio params reapplied, since std_init() resets to
compiled firmware defaults) if that doesn't clear it. Soft/hard recovery
counts surface on Tools > Diagnostics > Live as "RXPS wd s/h".
- Noise-floor recalibration during power-save: sampling was previously
skipped entirely while duty-cycling, freezing int.thresh interference
detection at whatever the floor was when power-save turned on. Now
borrows a brief continuous-RX window once a minute to take a fresh
reading before re-arming duty-cycle.
- GPS duty-cycling (Settings > System > "GPS pwr"): cycles GPS off between
fixes instead of running it continuously. Each wake waits for a fix
(capped at 60s) before sleeping again for the configured interval.
Repurposes the long-dead NodePrefs::gps_interval byte rather than adding
a new persisted field. A "is anything live using GPS right now" hold in
UITask keeps GPS continuously on whenever trail recording, live-share,
an armed Locator, or the Compass/Nearby-navigate view actually need a
live fix, so none of those features degrade. Locator crossing-state is
reset on each wake so a still-settling first fix can't read as a false
geofence crossing.

Port the Wio Tracker L1 solo firmware (full on-device UI, dual BLE/USB
companion transport) to Heltec V3 and V4 OLED boards. Neither board has
a joystick or CardKB on-board, so each new env wires up both as optional
peripherals with default pins from what the board leaves free, gated
behind the existing UI_HAS_JOYSTICK/ENV_PIN_SDA+SCL flags.
DUAL_SERIAL was nRF52-only; added an ESP32 helpers/esp32/DualSerialInterface.h
counterpart so the flag isn't silently ignored on these boards. On V4's
native USB CDC, isClientConnected() also honours (bool)Serial (real DTR),
same as the nRF52 version; V3 has no native CDC so it stays BLE-only there.
Screen (SDA 17/SCL 18) and CardKB (SDA 3/SCL 4) confirmed working on real
V4 hardware.

CustomLR1110::startReceive() passed RADIOLIB_LR11X0_IRQ_PREAMBLE_DETECTED
(1<<4 = 16) as RadioLib's first argument, which is the RX *timeout*, not an
IRQ mask. At the LR11x0's 30.52us tick that armed the receiver for ~488us, so
it dropped out of RX before any packet could arrive and the node received
nothing at all -- while transmitting normally.
Symptoms on a SenseCAP T1000-E: tx_air_secs rising, rx_air_secs stuck at 0,
recv_errors 0, and the noise floor pinned at the -120 clamp because
getCurrentRSSI() never sampled a live receiver.
Pass RADIOLIB_LR11X0_RX_TIMEOUT_INF (continuous RX), which is what
LR11x0::startReceive() itself uses, keeping the PREAMBLE_DETECTED flag in the
reported IRQ flags as intended.
Introduced in ea5d7c8b ("LR1110: add PREAMBLE_DETECTED to reported irq flags").
Verified on two T1000-E units: with only the repeater fixed it began receiving
(last_rssi -29, SNR 17.0) while the unfixed companion stayed deaf; fixing both
brought up the link in each direction.
The misc-fixed font (full Latin/Greek/Cyrillic) had only ever reached
SH1106Display and the e-ink driver. GAT562 30S -- like 24 other variants
-- uses SSD1306Display, which stayed on the built-in 5x7 font, so every
keyboard alphabet beyond ASCII and every accented contact name was
transliterated (Łódź -> Lodz) or drawn as a filled block.
Extract the renderer into MiscFixedRenderer.h rather than copying it:
Adafruit_SH110X and Adafruit_SSD1306 both derive from Adafruit_GFX and
glyph drawing is pure pixel plotting, so one implementation serves both
drivers (-79 lines from SH1106Display.cpp, same flash usage as before).
The header is .cpp-only by contract -- the font tables are static const,
so including it from a driver header would land a copy in every
translation unit.
On SSD1306 the path is opt-in behind OLED_MISC_FIXED_FONT, set only in
the two GAT562 30S solo envs: the font costs ~14 KB of flash and the
other 24 variants' repeater/companion builds have no keyboard to type
those alphabets on. Without the flag that driver is unchanged, verified
by building GAT562_30S_Mesh_Kit_repeater.
Drive-by consistency fix from the extraction: a newline in print() now
advances the cursor by yAdvance * text_size instead of a single yAdvance,
which was half a row short at setTextSize(2). The e-ink driver always
scaled it. No effect at size 1, which is everywhere the UI prints '\n'.
