A pull request's firmware step took 358 s: 260 of them rebuilding the
framework that was already in the volume, because the platform decides by
sdkconfig.defaults in the project folder, which is generated and not in git,
so no fresh checkout had it. It is now kept in the volume, inside the
libraries it describes, and copied into the checkout; the platform still
checks its hash against platformio.ini.
The version was a -D on every command line: each commit recompiled
everything, and no cache could help. scripts/version.py now writes one
generated header, read by one file.
PlatformIO's build cache in the volume for pull requests' firmware, ccache
for the host tests (built for coverage, which the build cache can't keep),
the tools in a venv in the volume, and a tag builds its firmware once.
A release still compiles its own sources from nothing.
Measured on fresh copies of the tree: the firmware step 358 s to 27 s (a new
version and one changed file), tests and coverage 49 s to 33 s, a local
rebuild with nothing changed 77 s to 13 s.

The framework's server begin() fails without a word: the console's task now
asks whether it listens, says so, and tries again. `debug off <seconds>`
closes the console and reopens it after the pause, which is the only way to
test its closing and reopening from afar.
Checked on the device: 25 closings and reopenings, each back a second after
the pause. Free heap dips about 270 bytes for each connection the device
closes and is all back two minutes later (TCP keeps a closed connection that
long): not a leak.

There is no Debug Build any more (ADR 0010, issue #68, Q188 to Q195). The
console and the test commands are compiled into every firmware. It listens
only while Settings > Debug Console is on, which isn't the default; off,
neither its task nor its 4 KB ring exists. The token is made by the device
and shown on that page; a client proves it knows it by answering a challenge
with an HMAC, so it never crosses the network, and five wrong answers close
the console for a minute. DBG in the Status Bar while it listens.
Over USB serial only: debug on, debug token <value>, debug token new.
scripts/flash.sh --debug uses them to set a device up with the developer's
token. scripts/rdbg.py takes the token from -t, $RORO_DEBUG_TOKEN or the
file, answers the challenge, and fetches a release's ELF to decode a crash.
Gone: the cardputer-adv-debug environment, RORO_DEBUG, the +debug version,
scripts/debug_flags.py, update install ... force, and the rule that a Debug
Build doesn't install releases. Old clients and old firmwares don't talk to
each other.
Against the builds it replaces: 30 KB more flash and 88 bytes more static
RAM than the release, 4 KB less RAM than the Debug Build. 468 host tests.
Checked on the device: off by default, login, the pause after wrong tokens,
Safe Mode with the console, the setting surviving an update, debug off.

A branch with an open pull request ran twice per push: once for the push,
once for the pull request. Pushes to main still run the tests and publish
the badges; every other branch is tested by its pull request.

The announcement was cut at the notification's 48 bytes; it now reads
"v0.11.0 is out: see Settings > Firmware". README: Updates from Gitea
and its limits. ADR 0009: the device trusts the two ISRG roots. R1.md:
what was built and the checks on the device, with what wasn't checked.

Rebuilding both firmwares on every push was more than anyone looked at.
A push now runs the host tests with their coverage (under two minutes);
a pull request adds the release firmware and the Debug Build, and is how
changes reach main; a tag still does everything before it releases.
Pull requests from forks don't run. scripts/ci.sh takes 'tests' or
'builds' for one half; coverage.sh now fails when a test fails.
