The SSH App opens one session to a shell, over libssh (LibSSH-ESP32 5.10.0)
on mbedTLS. A server is trusted the first time on its fingerprint, and a
changed key is a warning with Cancel selected. The password is typed each
time and kept nowhere; or the device makes itself an Ed25519 key, whose
public half is shown, written to /ssh/id_ed25519.pub and printed by
`ssh status`.
lib/term is the terminal: what a shell, less, top, nano and vim send, with
sixteen colours, scroll regions, the alternate screen and 100 lines of
scrollback. Five text sizes with Ctrl and + or -, from 60x20 to 26x8, told
to the far end. The session goes on when the App is left; SSH shows in the
Status Bar. `ssh user@host` in the Shell opens the App.
Also:
- Keys that aren't characters carry Shift, Ctrl and Alt. The terminal needs
it, and it makes Ctrl+Fn+up/down in a note and Shift+Tab in Gemini work
from the real keyboard.
- IRC doesn't try to connect under 60 KB free: started with a session open,
its TLS handshake took the heap down to 236 bytes.
- libssh's own curve25519 is left out of the build (scripts/libssh_filter.py):
libsodium's has the same names.
Costs 292 KB of flash and about 50 KB of heap while a session is open; not
started under 75 KB free.
Docs: guide page, how-to, FAQ, home page, Status Bar, SD card folders, the
memory how-to, README, glossary, N1 notes with Q254 to Q266 and the checks.

The device joins a WireGuard network over whatever Wi-Fi it is on: one
peer, IPv4. A client's .conf is imported from the card (/vpn/wg0.conf) and
kept in the device's settings, private key included, never shown; Settings
offers to delete the file. A switch brings the tunnel up until the next
restart, "Start with Wi-Fi" every time; it waits for the clock, which a
handshake needs. VPN shows in the Status Bar.
The protocol is esphome/wireguard 0.4.8. It calls lwIP without lwIP's lock,
which this framework checks: every call into it is made with the lock held.
What goes through the tunnel is everything (AllowedIPs 0.0.0.0/0) or the
one subnet the device's tunnel address is in: lwIP routes by an
interface's subnet or by default, nothing finer. The import says how many
ranges it can't reach.
Checked against a test peer in both directions and against a real server,
with a configuration uploaded from a phone (docs/milestones/N1.md).

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.

Every screen's keys are constant tables in lib/core/src/app_keys.h (52 of
them, each under an `// id: Title` comment). An App's help() picks the table
of the state it is in. site/tools/gen_dev_docs.py reads the same file and
writes site/data/keys.toml; the `keys` shortcode shows a screen's tables on
its guide page, and /guide/keys/ shows all of them.
The Site job fails when the data file is out of date or a page asks for a
table that doesn't exist, and now also runs when app_keys.h changes. A key
added to an App shows up on the website without anyone editing a page.
