The Shell shows the replies to its own commands and nothing else. The
console knows who each line is printed for (Console::As, Console::origin):
a command run from the Shell prints as the Shell's, and what answers it
later from another task carries that along (ls, tasks, du, cp, update
check, sd list, screenshot, gemini get). Ctrl+b shows everything instead.
This replaces the ten-second window, which was a guess.
An App's name with a capital opens it (Notes, Irc, Wifi, Gnss, Gemini, Lora,
Storage, Shell, System, Settings), from the Shell and from the consoles.
rm needs -r for a folder, here and over the consoles. In the Shell a file,
or a folder with something in it, is asked about unless -f; an empty folder
with -r goes without a word.
The Shell now hands its line to the main loop to run: run from inside the
key handler, rm on a folder overflowed the loop's stack and crashed the
device. `info` says which App is in front.

An App in the Launcher that runs the same commands as USB serial and the
Debug Console, trusted like the first. It shows what the console prints
while it is open, through a second ring of the console's that exists only
meanwhile; Ctrl+b keeps only what follows your own commands. Tab completes
a command's name from the firmware's help text, Fn with up and down recalls
earlier lines, Alt with up and down scrolls back. `rm` asks first in the
Shell, `rm -f` doesn't. Nothing is kept once the App is left.
`screenshot [seconds]` saves the screen as a PNG in /screenshots on the
card, now or after a pause: written a row at a time, indexed colour with
RGB332 as the palette, in one stored deflate block.
487 host tests (11 new: the PNG writer, the Shell's log filter, Tab).
Checked on the device over the Debug Console: commands, Tab, history, a
screenshot fetched and decoded on the PC, rm with and without the question,
a delayed screenshot of another screen. 12 KB of flash; 7 KB of heap while
open. Decisions Q204 to Q212 in docs/milestones/S1.md. Safe Mode: #77.

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.

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.

A release downloads straight into the inactive slot through the existing
install path: the signature is checked after 160 bytes, before anything
is written, the hash at the end. Tried on the device against the real
server: a download cut short, a flipped byte in the signature and one in
the image are each refused with the running firmware untouched; the real
v0.10.0 installed, restarted, and confirmed itself on Probation.
A TLS connection to Gitea peaks at about 52 KB of heap whether or not the
certificate is verified. With IRC connected (66 KB free) a check left 3 KB
and a download 836 bytes. A check, list or install a person asks for now
makes IRC step aside (holdForUpdate) and come back after: the lowest free
heap during a full download with IRC connected is 38 KB. The daily check
never interrupts IRC; with IRC up it waits. A TLS connection starts with
80 KB free (it was 55).
Debug Builds get test knobs: update probe <host>, update damage cut|flip,
update pretend <version>.

The roots (ISRG X1 and X2), an HTTPS client that reads the answer as a
stream, GiteaReleases (the latest and a list of ten), the Update
Service's requests, install from Gitea through the existing install path,
the daily check's schedule, the Check for updates setting, and console
commands: update check | list | status | install <tag>.

Five views, Tab between them: Overview (each core's load, memory,
traffic, battery, two minutes of load), Tasks (share of a core over the
last second, lowest free stack, flagged under 512 bytes; `s` sorts),
Memory (free heap against the floors of Q86), Network (bytes per
service, and what's moving now), System (what `info` prints, plus
battery, card, radio, GNSS). It samples once a second and keeps history
only while open.
The arithmetic is host-tested, including the trap found on the device: a
task's run-time counter only moves when it's switched out, so the task
that samples (the main loop, alone on its core) gets what's left of its
core. `tasks` now samples across a second of normal running instead of
inside its own wait. The main loop uses 100 % of core 1 at rest (#40).

A Counted<> wrapper around the network clients adds what goes through
their buffer read and write to a per-service counter (IRC, Gemini, Debug
Console, Updates); the single-byte calls and print() end up there, so
each byte counts once. `net` prints the totals. For TLS it's the plain
text the service sees.
Checked on the device: a Gemini fetch counts 164,986 in (a 164,970-byte
page and its 16-byte header) and 42 out (the URL and CRLF).

One task owns the SX1262 and does all its SPI behind the card's bus lock;
the main loop posts requests and DIO1 only wakes the task. It listens
while a client asks (App, Capture, Console) and sleeps otherwise, with a
ring of the last 32 packets (9.8 KB, freed when idle). No transmit path.
The Cap's antenna switch (expander P0) is set on the main loop, which
owns the I2C bus. `lora probe` now runs on the radio task and checks the
DIO1 interrupt with a receive timeout; `lora status`, `lora rx on|off`,
`lora preset`, and `lora custom` for other LoRa settings.
Measured: DIO1 works (timeout after 105 ms); four 1.7 MB uploads and
Gemini pages to the card while listening, no radio or card errors; task
stack peak 2.0 KB. Twenty minutes on LongFast and LoRaWAN: no packets,
and a noise floor of -83 to -94 dBm at the desk.

The probe finds the SX1262 (TCXO 1.8 V works) and measures the antenna
path: the Cap's PI4IOE5V6408 at 0x43 must drive P0 high, or the receiver
is deaf (-111.9 dBm flat vs -87 to -94 dBm with P0 high). DIO2 makes no
difference to reception. Receive only; the radio is left asleep.
RadioLib 7.8.1 + probe: +23.6 KB flash, +656 B static RAM (release).

Peak stack use was measured through each task's worst case (an
ECDSA-checked install over Wi-Fi and from SD, get/put, a core dump
fetch, an IRC TLS handshake); stacks are now peak plus about 2 KB: loop
8 -> 6 KB, update 8 -> 5, storage 10 -> 6, irc 8 -> 6. The Debug Build's
console ring goes 6 -> 4 KB, serial TX 2 -> 1 KB, the GNSS UART buffer
1 KB -> 512 B.
On the device, with IRC on TLS: 46 KB free (was 31), an 18 KB low (was
9.4). The re-run of every worst case left at least 1.6 KB of stack free
in each task.

Every build now records at boot which version runs and, after a crash
restart, which one crashed (even across a Rollback). The core dump
summary (task, PC, reason, backtrace) is printed and raised as a
Notification; `crash` shows it later. After 3 crash restarts in a row
the firmware starts in Safe Mode: clock, Wi-Fi, Update Service and Debug
Console only (SafeMode, 2 host tests). A normal restart or a minute up
resets the count.
The main loop is now on the task watchdog (enableLoopWDT): Arduino only
watched core 0's idle task, so a stuck loop hung the device for good.
The Update Service restarts into an installed update by itself if the
main loop hasn't after 90 s.
Debug Builds: `coredump get` and `reset` are answered by the console's
own task; rdbg.py crash decodes the backtrace and rdbg.py coredump runs
esp-coredump, against ELFs archived by version and digest in .pio/elves.
The StorageService mutex is now made in the constructor: Safe Mode never
starts that Service, and `info` crashed on the null mutex, 29 times in a
row before the fix was pushed into Safe Mode over Wi-Fi.
Verified on the device: crash report and full core dump decoded over
Wi-Fi; Safe Mode at exactly 3 crashes, left by `reboot`; a hung loop
caught by the watchdog in 5 s; `reset` from the console task. ADR 0005.

cardputer-adv-debug (-DRORO_DEBUG, version +debug) adds a Debug Console:
after a token line, a client gets the last 6 KB of console output, live
lines (ESP-IDF logs included) and the serial commands. The socket task
only queues lines; the main loop runs them. Release builds compile none
of it. The token lives in ~/.config/roro9stack/debug-token, created by
_docker.sh and passed into the container.
All output now goes through `console`, which never waits for USB: a host
that was attached but not reading stalled the main loop up to 2 s per
line. New commands everywhere: info (slots with their versions from NVS,
since the framework stamps its own into each image), tasks, reboot,
boot other, log level, help. scripts/rdbg.py is the client; flash.sh
--debug builds it; CI builds both variants. ADR 0004.
Verified on the device: USB-flashed, then updated over Wi-Fi to a Debug
Build that confirmed on Probation; both slots hold Debug Builds.

- EcdsaVerifier (mbedTLS, embedded public key) and EspOtaSink (writes
the inactive app slot, esp_ota_end validates the image, then sets
the boot partition)
- UpdateService: listens on TCP 3232 (and mDNS roro9stack-<id>) while
Wi-Fi is Connected; streams into UpdateParser; replies OK/ERR to the
sender; remembers the pending version so a Rollback is reported
after the reboot
- Probation (host-tested): confirm after the first frame + 30 s + Wi-Fi
(if configured); roll back if configured Wi-Fi never connects in 3 min
- Main loop: full-screen progress while receiving; restart once
installed, waiting up to 60 s for Text Entry to end
- Settings > Firmware: version, Probation status, push address and
name, and the .ota files in /updates on the SD card to install
- StorageService.runJob() runs work on the storage task (SD installs)
- wifi status prints IP and running version; RORO_TEST_CRASH test hook

- scripts/ota_keygen.sh: ECDSA P-256 key pair; the private key goes to
~/.config/roro9stack/ (0600), the public key to keys/ and
src/platform/ota_public_key.h; .gitignore refuses *key.pem
- scripts/make_ota.py: wraps firmware.bin into a signed .ota (openssl)
- scripts/ota_push.py: sends it over TCP 3232, prints the device's answer
- scripts/flash.sh --ota <host>: build, sign, push
Checked: a generated .ota has the documented layout and its signature
verifies with openssl against the committed public key.

- lib/apps_model (host-tested): SettingsMenu (rows, readable values,
choices, validation messages) and SetupWizard (names, Region
confirmation, timezone; saves only when finished)
- AppManager: modal Apps that Home/Back can't leave (setup wizard)
- SettingsApp: all settings plus Storage (usage, erase SD behind a
dialog) and About (version, node id, battery, memory, uptime) pages,
replacing the temporary Diagnostics App
- SetupApp: first-boot wizard, opened modally until SetupDone
- Node id and default names derived from the MAC like Meshtastic
- Widget demo is now hidden (About, then w)
- lib_ldf_mode = deep+ so libraries see each other's headers

lib/services holds the host-tested logic:
- Settings: typed, validated, persisted, SettingChanged events,
transmit gated on a confirmed Region
- BatteryEstimator: LiPo curve, median smoothing against TX sags
- ClockModel: source priority GNSS > NTP > mesh, relative ages,
Europe/Brussels local time via POSIX TZ
- StorageMonitor: warning once per boot at 80%, Logs stop at 90%,
Captures stop with < 2 MiB left
- PowerPolicy / PowerButton: dim/off timeouts, wake key swallowed only
when the screen was off, G0 long press
src/services wires them to the hardware (NVS, battery ADC, SD on the
shared SPI bus with the LoRa CS held high, backlight, deep sleep), and
main.cpp is a temporary diagnostics screen for the hardware checks.
