release-notes.md's v1.25 section already documents "Updated upstream
base to companion-v1.17.1", and that merge (68527e7b) is confirmed in
main's history -- but every MESHCORE_VERSION string, including
UITask.cpp's fallback default for boards that don't set it explicitly
(Heltec v3/v4, ThinkNode, Mesh Pocket, T-Echo), was still hardcoded to
the pre-bump "1.17". Bumped every occurrence to "1.17.1" to match what
actually shipped.

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.

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).

E-ink panel refreshes block the main loop for 500ms-3.6s (GxEPD2's
display.display() waits on the BUSY pin), and MomentaryButton::check()
only ever samples the live pin level once per loop iteration. A full
press+release that lands entirely inside a refresh is never sampled,
not just delayed - users on WioTracker L1 Eink were losing taps.
Add an opt-in ISR path (BUTTON_USE_INTERRUPTS) that latches each edge
with its own timestamp into a small ring buffer from attachInterrupt(),
independent of what the main loop is doing. check() replays buffered
edges through the existing transition/multi-click logic afterwards, so
click-duration and multi-click-window math still uses the edge's actual
capture time rather than "now".
Scoped to wio-tracker-l1-eink only for now: it's the one board this was
reported against and the only GxEPDDisplay-class variant that currently
builds clean on main. OLED boards refresh in ~20-30ms so polling already
catches every press; analog-button boards (rak4631/rak3401) can't use
attachInterrupt(CHANGE) at all.

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.

The splash shows the upstream base version from the hardcoded MESHCORE_VERSION
build flag (distinct from FIRMWARE_VERSION, which is our solo version). The
upstream merge bumped FIRMWARE_VERSION to v1.16-solo.0 but left this flag at
1.15. Update all three occurrences (wio + eink) to 1.16.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add lib/GxEPD2-patch/src/GxEPD2_BW.h: local patched copy of GxEPD2_BW.h
that exposes getBuffer()/getBufferSize() under ENABLE_SCREENSHOT guard.
Include guard (_GxEPD2_BW_H_) prevents double-inclusion of the installed
library version.
- GxEPDDisplay.h: use patched header via relative include when
ENABLE_SCREENSHOT so the patch takes precedence over the installed lib
(PlatformIO adds library paths before -I build_flags).
- DisplayDriver.h: add virtual getBuffer()/getBufferSize()/getDisplayType()
defaults (nullptr/0/0) under ENABLE_SCREENSHOT.
- SH1106Display.h / SSD1306Display.h / GxEPDDisplay.h: add concrete overrides;
getDisplayType() returns 0 (OLED) or 1 (e-ink).
- MyMesh.cpp/h: replace fragile C-cast with virtual dispatch in
handleScreenshotRequest(); extend 5-byte header to 6 bytes by appending
display_type so the host tool can decode the correct pixel layout.
- tools/screenshot.py: parse 6-byte header; add eink_buffer_to_image()
that decodes the row-major MSB-first GxEPD2 buffer with DISPLAY_ROTATION=1
(phys_x = 127-ly, phys_y = lx); dispatch on display_type.
- variants/wio-tracker-l1-eink/platformio.ini: add
[env:WioTrackerL1Eink_companion_dual_dev] with ENABLE_SCREENSHOT.
- variants/wio-tracker-l1/platformio.ini: unchanged (OLED env already exists).
Builds verified: WioTrackerL1Eink_companion_dual_dev SUCCESS,
WioTrackerL1Eink_companion_radio_ble SUCCESS (unaffected).

Add MESHCORE_VERSION build flag ("1.15") to companion base configs.
Splash screen now shows MESHCORE_VERSION in the large text and the
plus firmware version (stripped of commit hash) in the Plus bar,
e.g. "1.15" large + "Plus v1.11 for Wio" below.
Change CI tag pattern to v* and simplify version extraction so tag
v1.11 maps directly to FIRMWARE_VERSION=v1.11.

Rename WioTrackerL1_companion_radio_dual_settings → WioTrackerL1_companion_dual
and WioTrackerL1Eink_companion_radio_dual → WioTrackerL1Eink_companion_dual.
Fix CI workflow: remove hardcoded branch refs so both build jobs check out
the tagged commit; add version extraction to each build job (previously
GIT_TAG_VERSION was only set in the release job, leaving FIRMWARE_VERSION
empty during builds); update build commands to use new env names.

Display rotation is now a runtime setting (Settings → Rotation), so separate
build targets for landscape/portrait are redundant. Collapsed four envs into two:
WioTrackerL1Eink_companion_radio_ble — BLE only
WioTrackerL1Eink_companion_radio_dual — BLE + USB (DUAL_SERIAL)
Default DISPLAY_ROTATION=1 (landscape, 250×122) moved to the shared base
section; users adjust orientation via the in-app Settings screen.

- Remove fixed 128×128 virtual space and scaling; use 1:1 pixel mapping
- Display dimensions derived from panel native size + DISPLAY_ROTATION
- setCursor compensates for GFX font baseline offset (ascender per font size)
- Add getLineHeight() / getCharWidth() overrides for FreeSans fonts
- New envs: landscape (250×122) and portrait (122×250), BLE and dual variants
- Integrate all wio-tracker-l1-improvements features into e-ink build
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- DualSerialInterface: enable()/disable() control BLE only, USB always on;
USB state machine not read while BLE connected to avoid partial-frame
corruption; reset USB on BLE disconnect for clean reconnect
- Fix -UBLE_DEBUG_LOGGING (no space) to avoid PlatformIO SCons parse error
- build.sh: drop separate USB/BLE builds, dual_settings only
- wio-tracker-l1-eink: enable DUAL_SERIAL in companion_radio_ble build
