Solo's `_solo_dual` env for each board lived inside variants/<board>/, mixed
in with the shared upstream board configs (repeater, room server, plain
companion) that every MeshCore fork carries. Split them out into their own
top-level solo/<board>/ folder -- each still `extends` the board base defined
in its original variants/<board>/platformio.ini, just no longer interleaved
with it file-wise.
- platformio.ini: extra_configs picks up solo/*/platformio.ini alongside
variants/*/platformio.ini.
- build-solo-firmwares.yml: env-discovery grep now scans solo/ instead of
variants/ (the release matrix is unchanged -- same 8 envs, same names).
- pr-build-check.yml: solo/** added to the trigger paths.
- GAT562 30S Mesh Kit: dropped the separate solo_ble env -- solo_dual is a
strict superset (BLE still works, plus USB), and every other board only
ever had one solo build to begin with.
- GAT562 Mesh Watch13: renamed solo_ble -> solo_dual (added DUAL_SERIAL=1) to
match. No comment anywhere recorded whether this board's USB data lines
are actually broken out to a connector -- DUAL_SERIAL compiles and works
over BLE regardless, so worst case the USB half goes unused.
- Removed a dead AUTO_SHUTDOWN_MILLIVOLTS from the three solo envs that set
it (Heltec V3/V4, T-Echo Lite+KeyShield): that macro is only ever read in
the old ui-tiny UITask, never ui-new, which every solo build (these
included) uses -- it did nothing on any of them. Left alone everywhere
else it's set (non-solo companion envs elsewhere use ui-tiny/ui-orig, or
the flag is legitimately read); out of scope here.
- Added docs/solo_features/build_flags.md: every optional -D flag a solo
build understands (GPIO, CardKB/joystick, Hall-sensor cover lock, buzzer/
vibration, GPS switch, display/battery tuning), verified against the code
rather than the existing per-board comments, with what's already baked
into every solo build kept separate from what's opt-in.
- README: doc index + Building from source section link to the new page;
path references to the moved solo files updated to solo/<board>/.
All 8 solo_dual envs rebuilt clean after the move; native test suite (40
cases) unaffected.

PlatformIO's SCons flag processing mishandles a two-token "-U MACRO"
in build_flags: it drops the macro name and leaves a bare -U that
swallows the next flag (-Iinclude) as its argument, producing
"macro names must be identifiers" for every companion_radio source
file. The -U was unnecessary anyway -- this whole project builds
with -w, so a later -D silently wins with no warning to suppress.
Verified with a real pio build (not available earlier this session):
Heltec_v3/v4, Cardputer ADV, and T-Echo Lite KeyShield solo envs all
compile clean now.
Swaps which physical input plays which role on the Heltec V3/V4 wired
joystick: the stick's own fifth "press" contact now drives Enter (your
thumb's already on the stick when you'd confirm something), and the
onboard PRG button -- previously Enter -- becomes Back instead, so it
no longer needs a separate wired button of its own.
Pure pin reassignment in the solo_dual envs, no UITask.cpp changes:
PIN_USER_BTN (Enter) is undef'd and redefined from the base env's PRG
default to the joystick's press pin, and PIN_BACK_BTN takes PRG's old
GPIO0. Scoped to just these two envs -- Wio Tracker L1/GAT562/MeshTiny
share the same UI_HAS_JOYSTICK code path with PRG already correctly
wired as their one true physical button, so their behaviour is
untouched.

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).

The solo release job only attached *.uf2 and *.zip, which covered every solo
board back when they were all nRF52. The Heltec V3/V4 .bin images were built
and then silently dropped, so tagging a release produced nothing downloadable
for those two boards.
Releases now carry a single -merged.bin per ESP32 board (bootloader +
partition table + app at 0x0). build.sh also writes an app-only .bin, but
that one needs offset 0x10000 and a bootloader already on the chip, so it's
deleted before upload rather than shipped next to the merged image — flashing
it at 0x0 looks exactly like a bricked device.
Also adds -D ENABLE_SCREENSHOT to both Heltec solo envs. Every other solo env
already had it, so Solo Tools couldn't capture these two boards' displays and
the README's "no special build flags required" was untrue for them. Both envs
rebuilt clean (V3: RAM 58.8%, Flash 43.2%).

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.

Switch ESP32-S3 KISS modem environments to HWCDC and move outbound KISS writes to a non-blocking queued frame path so loop() and TX completion keep progressing when the host reads slowly. Add native backpressure regression tests and correct the native_kiss_modem test filter so this suite runs directly with pio test.
Enable GPS time synchronization across all variants by passing
&rtc_clock to MicroNMEALocationProvider. When GPS gets a valid
fix, the RTC clock is now updated automatically every 30 minutes.
Updated 16 variants: rak4631, lilygo_tbeam_SX1262, rak_wismesh_tag,
lilygo_tbeam_supreme_SX1262, thinknode_m3, heltec_v4, thinknode_m1,
lilygo_tbeam_SX1276, meshadventurer, nano_g2_ultra, heltec_v3,
promicro, xiao_c3, heltec_tracker_v2, keepteen_lt1, heltec_mesh_solar.
The GC1109 FEM needs its VFEM_Ctrl pin held HIGH during deep sleep
to keep the LNA active, enabling proper RX sensitivity for
wake-on-packet. Without this, the LNA is unpowered during sleep
and RX wake sensitivity is degraded by ~17dB.
Release RTC holds in begin() after configuring GPIO registers
(not before) to ensure glitch-free pin transitions on wake.
Trade-off: ~6.5mA additional sleep current for significantly
improved wake-on-packet range.
