A device administering itself via the Admin tool read as awkward, so the
local mode is gone and its options relocated to Settings.
- AdminScreen is remote-only: drop the CHOOSER phase, _local_mode, the
LocalField/LocalKind model and activateLocalField/commitLocalField.
Phases collapse to LOGIN/COMMAND/REPLY, entered only via startFor().
- Tools > Admin opens straight to the Nodes picker (ACT_ADMIN ->
pickAdminTarget()). Backing out of a command screen returns to that
picker; the picker's Cancel returns to Tools. gotoAdminScreen() removed.
- Settings > System gains Name (keyboard-edited node_name) and Reboot
(action row, placed last so it isn't the default cursor). Radio + TX
power were already in Settings; Send advert is the home ADVERT page.
Docs: tools_screen.md Admin section rewritten remote-only; settings_screen.md
System table gains Name + Reboot.

Messages:
- Add/edit/delete channels on-device (new ChannelsView, owned by the renamed
MessagesScreen — was QuickMsgScreen, whose name no longer matched its scope).
Channel secret entry supports a typed passphrase (SHA-256'd, same primitive
the library already uses for the routing hash) or a raw 32-hex-char key.
- MyMesh::setChannelLocal() factors out the setChannel/saveChannels/
onChannelRemoved sequence previously duplicated across the two
CMD_SET_CHANNEL branches, shared now by the BLE and on-device paths.
Tools > Admin (new):
- Log into a repeater/room server's admin account and send CLI commands,
the on-device equivalent of the app's repeater-admin feature.
- Commands are organised into category tabs (System/Radio/Routing/Actions)
with common get/set fields (name, radio profile, tx power, repeat, advert
intervals, ...) plus a free-text "Custom command..." fallback for anything
else. A field row fetches the current value, opens it pre-filled for
editing, and sends the change — falling back to a blank editor if the
fetch fails or times out.
- The admin password persists and self-heals exactly like room logins in
Messages: saved on a confirmed admin-level login, forgotten on a failed
one, left alone if merely under-privileged.
- New MyMesh::sendAdminCommand()/AbstractUITask::onAdminReply() plumbing so
a reply reaches the UI without touching the existing BLE/app CLI-terminal
path (queueMessage's should_display gate is untouched).
Shared TabBar.h extracted from NearbyScreen/BotScreen's independently
duplicated tab-carousel rendering (now a third consumer via Admin) — also
fixes neighbouring tabs vanishing outright when they didn't fully fit;
they now truncate with an ellipsis instead.
Keyboard: the combined "Ext.Latin" alphabet split into 8 separate,
linguistically complete per-language keyboards (Polish, Czech, Slovak,
German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Nordic), and fixed an OLED-only bug
where tall accented glyphs overlapped the keyboard's separator line
(SH1106's Lemon-font ascent constant was 2-3px short for them).

Alarm repeat (Clock Tools):
- NodePrefs::alarm_repeat_mask (weekday bitmask, struct tm::tm_wday
convention) — new Repeat row cycles Off/Daily/Weekdays/Weekends.
computeAlarmNextFire() scans the next 7 days for a matching weekday when
set; evaluateAlarm() only clears alarm_on (one-shot) when the mask is
empty, otherwise re-arms. mask==0 is byte-for-byte the original one-shot
behaviour, so existing users see no change.
On-screen keyboard alphabets (Settings > Keyboard > Alphabet):
- KeyboardWidget reworked from single-byte ASCII cells to UTF-8 codepoints
(insertion, backspace and T9 in-place cycling all codepoint-aware now, so a
multi-byte character is never split) — see kbApplyCapsUtf8/kbUtf8Len/
kbUtf8CharAt/kbUtf8LastCharBytes.
- Cyrillic, Greek and an Extended Latin set (Polish/Czech/Slovak/German/
French/Spanish/Nordic diacritics) join the keyboard's existing #@/abc page
cycle (Latin -> alt alphabet -> Symbols -> Latin) — no new key needed.
NodePrefs::keyboard_alt_alphabet picks which one, if any, is active.
- Lemon font is forced on transiently inside KeyboardWidget::render() (saved
and restored every call) whenever the alt-alphabet page is showing or
already-typed text has non-ASCII bytes, so composing is visible even if
Font is set to Default.
- Each script's caps-shift rule is distinct and documented in
kbApplyCapsUtf8: flat -0x20 for ASCII/Cyrillic/Greek (with the ё/ς
exceptions), flat -0x20 for Latin-1 (à-þ), and an adjacent-pair -1 for
Latin Extended-A (verified against every character actually used, not a
blanket rule for that whole Unicode block).
NodePrefs schema: two tail-appended fields this session (alarm_repeat_mask,
keyboard_alt_alphabet), SCHEMA_SENTINEL 0xC0DE001B -> 0xC0DE001D,
sizeof(NodePrefs) 2496 -> 2504 (verified via a standalone host compile).
Docs: Clock Tools' Repeat row, Settings > Keyboard > Alphabet, and the
Rooms keyboard note (no longer ASCII-only once an alphabet is enabled).
Not build-verified — no PlatformIO toolchain available this session. Caps
mappings cross-checked against Python's Unicode case tables; UTF-8 literal
bytes verified at the byte level.
T9 keys now read like a phone keypad — each cell is labelled <digit><group>
(e.g. 2abc), with the digit matching what the multi-tap cycle lands on after
the letters. No separator space: the widest group (".,!?'-") plus the digit
already fills a narrow 128px OLED cell at 3 columns.
Also fills in the v1.22 release notes (T9 keyboard, trail auto-save, Clock
Tools in Tools, Map/Shutdown reorderable, battery-read fix, the UI-audit fix
batch, discover-dedup, favourites self-heal, preset-name placeholder, OLED
frame-skip, e-ink full-refresh) and syncs the solo-feature docs: new Keyboard
settings section, Trail Auto-save row, and Clock Tools reachable from Tools.

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.

Settings > Radio gains a repeater toggle, 16 community-suggested radio
presets plus manual Freq/SF/BW/CR tuning (digit-by-digit Freq editor),
4 persisted user preset slots, and the packet pool bumped 16->32 so
queued retransmits stop starving incoming-packet allocation while
relaying.
Four opt-in politeness knobs (skip-advert, max-hops, yield, min-SNR),
all flood-only and off by default, plus overhear suppression that
cancels a queued retransmit if a peer relays the same packet first.
Adaptive Power Control is suppressed while relaying (pins TX power to
the ceiling) and duty-cycle RX is forced off, since a repeater needs
to hear and relay at consistent power.
A dedicated Tools > Repeater screen consolidates the toggle, the
politeness knobs, and live forwarding stats, plus an optional "Custom"
radio profile — a dedicated frequency/SF/BW/CR for relaying, separate
from the companion's own network, band-matched to the companion
frequency by default and used everywhere a radio change can happen
(boot, on-device toggle, app-driven CMD_SET_RADIO_PARAMS, Settings
radio edits) so the device never silently falls back to the wrong
params mid-relay.
Diagnostics gains the actually-forwarded packet count, real heap-free
via mallinfo(), a reset-counters popup, and hardened loop-detect
bounds. Also: a frequency-floor fix and a float-equality preset-match
fix in the repeater profile logic, deduped BW-table/valCol/profile-
seeding helpers shared between Settings and the Repeater screen, and
a build.sh fix tolerating control characters in `pio project config`'s
JSON dump.

- Replace single-letter M/B/A/G top-bar indicators with scalable mini-icons:
ICON_MUTE (speaker+cross), ICON_BLUETOOTH (rune), ICON_ADVERT (broadcast
mast+waves), ICON_TRAIL (map pin). Centred in the cw+2 indicator box;
disconnected BT shows the plain glyph instead of lowercase b.
- fix(settings): right-side values used display.valCol() without the scrollbar
reserve, so after expanding a section they rendered under the indicator.
Route all value cursors through valCol(display) = display.valCol() - _reserve.
- fix(settings): font toggle used ^=1, which on a stale value of 2 (older Hybrid
build) flips 2<->3 — both nonzero, locking applyFont() on Lemon with no way
back. Normalise: use_lemon_font = use_lemon_font ? 0 : 1.
- docs(settings): document Messages > Resend setting.

Two independent, default-off toggles under Settings › Radio.
Pwr save: hardware RX duty-cycle (SX126x SetRxDutyCycle via
startReceiveDutyCycleAuto). The chip cycles RX↔sleep and wakes on a preamble —
no MCU state machine; recvRaw reads the packet exactly as in continuous RX.
Falls back to continuous RX on non-SX126x. (Replaces an earlier software-CAD
state machine that fought the hardware: polling a warm-sleeping chip gave a
phantom-busy channel that stalled TX ~4 s and dropped ACKs in the scan gaps.)
Auto pwr: Adaptive Power Control. tx_power_dbm becomes a ceiling; actual TX
power tracks the reverse-link SNR margin (measured above the per-SF demod floor,
EWMA-smoothed, proportional step with a deadband). Feedback comes from direct /
room-server ACKs and, for channels (no ACK), from hearing a repeater rebroadcast
our own flood; a lost confirmation ramps power back up so channel sends can't get
stranded below what the repeaters can hear.
Prefs schema 0xC0DE0009 (rx_powersave, tx_apc). Radio page / name bar show the
live TX power; noise floor reads n/a while duty-cycling.

Settings › Sound gains an "AD sound" row, and Auto-Advert notes the audible
"in range" heartbeat: the device chirps on every received advert (any node),
melody chosen by AD sound; there's no off, so silence it via the Buzzer
setting. built-in still chirps.

Add the Settings › System "Units" (Metric/Imperial) row and update the
Trail action-menu entry from the old four-way km/h·mph·min/km·min/mi
"Units" cycle to a Speed/Pace "Readout" toggle within the global system.

README:
- Fix typo "offical" → "official"
- File names in Firmware Variants table now match workflow output
(solo-<version>-oled.uf2 / solo-<version>-eink.uf2)
- Un-comment the E-ink Display section (now fully supported)
- Clock Screen: "sensor values" → "data fields" (covers Batt%, Nodes, Msgs)
- Tools Screen: mention nearby nodes and auto-advert in the highlight
- Promote Screenshot Tool to its own top-level section (was buried under
Contributing); fix `uv run tools/screenshot.py` invocation path
Docs:
- favourites_dial: document the 3rd pin-picker tier (all chat contacts
fallback) added in 0e0e5b93
- clock_screen: Altitude source clarified — onboard sensor (GPS or
barometric), not always GPS
- message_screen: blank lines around image tables that were inlined
Code:
- UITask.cpp: rename leftover plus_y/plus_label locals to solo_y/solo_label
in the splash-screen Solo banner
Workflow:
- workflow_dispatch builds previously labelled firmware with the branch
name (GITHUB_REF_NAME). Resolve BUILD_VERSION to the tag when run on a
tag push, else dev-<short-sha> so manual runs produce
solo-dev-abc1234-oled.uf2 etc.
Cleanup:
- remove stray docs/solo_features/settings_screen/set_scr_1_eink copy.png
