The panel froze and dimmed the screen as the finger started: a snapshot of
the whole screen (slow on the map) and a full-screen flush, so it stalled,
jumped and tore top to bottom. Now it slides opaque over the live screen
(a clear layer under it still takes the tap that closes it), built at start.
Its slide is timed by its own frames, at most 30 ms a frame: a slow frame
ended the 160 ms lv_anim and the panel just appeared.
The sky plot on GPS > Sky was a fixed 168 px, taller than what is left
under the title bar and tabs: now it takes that height.

WiFi starts and joins on internal RAM: ~42 KB the first time, ~25 KB after,
more for WPA. Free internal RAM had shrunk to ~20 KB after opening the map
(the tile decoder's 12 KB stack, the 32 KB I-cache, the DMA draw buffers,
UI statics), so a scan failed at once (esp_wifi_init: no memory) and a join
during a tile download timed out (AUTH_EXPIRE).
- ESP-IDF: CONFIG_SPIRAM_ALLOW_BSS_SEG_EXTERNAL_MEMORY, and the esp_timer
task stack 8 -> 4 KB (it uses ~0.4 KB). Rebuild the framework libs:
pio run -e Wio_Tracker_L2_idf_libs.
- PSRAM_BSS (EXT_RAM_BSS_ATTR) on the UI's big statics: QR codes, map
state, charts, lists. .dram0.bss 115 -> 66 KB.
- The tile decoder's and fetcher's task stacks in PSRAM.
Free internal RAM, idle: 48 -> 105 KB; WiFi up: 57 KB, 29 KB at the
lowest while downloading tiles.

Density from less chrome instead of smaller rows (ROW_H stays 44):
- titled screens drop the status bar; the title bar (APPBAR_H) holds back,
the title, the screen's actions and the time/battery on a pill; the status
bar returns for Home, the map, typing, the quick panel and the lock
- one radius (RADIUS) for everything tapped: buttons, tabs, choices, chips
- tabs are all segmented at TAB_H in the body (GPS, Clock converted)
- Nodes: chips row + sort + status line become one toolbar row with
Show / Order choices; Messages' All/Favourites is the same choice
- nav map: the target bar only while there is a target; the pin opens one
"Places" popup; back from a map options page restores the map and Map
tools as left, without a jump
- node detail actions at the top of the scroll; Home tiles fill the page
- rowsFit() leaves growing labels to the flex (a screen title cut to one
letter after Messages' filter changed)

Each tab a screenful: the sky plot beside the fix; the bars with a fixed
dB-Hz scale and the constellations; and Details with whatever else the
receiver reports (correction, locator, course, DOPs with their rating,
signal averages, NMEA counts). Sim: sim_open("gps").

Found by counting flushes on idle screens in the sim:
- The compose field's cursor blinked (a redraw every 400 ms) as soon as
a conversation opened, the keyboard hidden: lv_keyboard_set_textarea()
focuses the field, and LVGL only stops a blink when the cursor moves.
fieldFocus() sets the state and nudges the blink; also used for the
WiFi and channel fields, which left theirs running.
- lv_obj_align_to() restyles on every call, so the status bar's icons
redrew every second; placeLeftOf() moves them only when they move.
- Text colours set every second (nav bar, GPS status, Diag errors) go
through setTextColor(), which skips an unchanged colour.
- A LV_LABEL_LONG_DOT label writes its "..." into its own text, so
setText() never matched and rewrote it every refresh (the nav bar's
hint); labelShows() reads past the dots.
- The map area, the area-outline, trail and vector-label layers were
invalidated on every map refresh (every 3 s, a full-map redraw); now
only when the view or what they draw changed.
Idle map: 17 -> 1 flush in 5 s; list and settings screens: 0.

- CPU at 80 MHz with the screen on after 2 s without touch or animation;
a touch restores the full clock before its frame is drawn
- setText(): periodic refreshes no longer redraw unchanged labels
(status bar, Home, lock, Diag, GPS, compass, clock, map, nav, nearby)
- map markers kept across the 3 s rebuild when unchanged
- app connected: the loop blocks until a BLE frame arrives
(serialFrameArrived / hasPendingFrames) instead of polling every 2 ms
- PSRAM: boot frame sprite and the HTTP response buffer released

- Dead code gone: anim::fadeHide, radioctl::presetCount, the L2 board's
setSdPower / setGrovePower / expanderOK (awRead, gnssReset now private).
- buttonBar() / barButton() replace 7 copies of the popup button row.
- confirmBody(): one red-button confirm for reboot / power off, reset
counters, admin commands, preset and scope delete.
- tapConfirmed(): the 11 "tap again" buttons share one mechanism, 3 s
everywhere, the label restored when left alone.
- noteLabel() for ~30 wrapped notes.
- localTm() in NodePrefs.h and one MONTHS table: lvgl, MsgExpand, the L1
clock and lock screen.
- The sim keeps UI settings in an in-memory nvs::, so one set of load /
save helpers serves both.
- Asleep, the loop wakes every 50 ms (the button / touch poll), not 20.

Two views, swapped with left / right: a polar sky plot (filled = used in the
fix, hollow = tracked, a pixel = no signal) beside fix, used / in view, HDOP,
PDOP and time to first fix; and a signal bar per satellite (used first, a
dotted 30 dB-Hz line) under per-constellation counts. The GPS stays awake
while it's open. Data from GpsSky (-D GPS_SKYVIEW, now on the L1 solo build).
The simulator's made-up sky moves from the L2's GpsScreen into
helpers/sensors/GpsSkySim.h, so both sims show it.

The GPS trouble on the cable was the I2S MCLK comb (fixed in b50ecc83):
fix times match with and without USB now.

Shared infoCard/infoRow/infoNote helpers: muted label left, value right,
hairlines between rows, empty rows hidden. Diagnostics grouped into
sections with a received/sent packet table; GPS gets a position card and
constellation pills; About, OTA, Storage and map popups use the same
cards. Text no longer breaks after '.', clock alarm hint unclipped.
Sim-only sim_open() hook for jumping to a screen.

- The AW35615 USB-C controller (FUSB302-style registers, ID 0x91) only
reports VBUSOK with its measure block on; POWER resets to bandgap only,
so isExternalPowered() was always false. Board init turns it on
- Status bar shows a charge bolt on the cable, Diagnostics > Live has a
Power row, the GPS screen notes that charging disturbs GPS, and the
low-battery warning is skipped on USB as intended
- Roadmap: USB detection closed; GPS indoors still worse than the L1
even on battery, left open for later

- Home > GPS and Settings > System > GPS details: satellites on a sky plot
(filled = used in the fix, colour = C/N0), a bar per satellite with its
dB-Hz, fix state with time to first fix, DOPs, position, altitude, speed,
UTC and per-constellation counts; a Turn on button while GPS is off
- helpers/sensors/GpsSky.h parses GSV / GSA / GGA / RMC from any talker,
fed from MicroNMEALocationProvider behind -D GPS_SKYVIEW (L2 and the
sim only; L1 unchanged); the sim feeds it made-up NMEA
- Roadmap: GPS indoors diagnosed with it - on the USB cable the L76K
tracks satellites but never decodes navigation data; on battery it
gets UTC within seconds and a fix
