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 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>.

The Storage App browses the SD card: folders first with sizes and dates,
three sorts, one item at a time with a clipboard (c, x, v), rename, delete
after counting what's inside, new folder, details. A listing holds 256
entries and says when a folder has more.
FileOps does the card's work for the App and the console alike, one
operation at a time on the storage task in turns of about 150 ms, so Logs
and Captures are still written during a long copy. A copy shows progress,
can be cancelled (what it wrote is taken back) and compares sizes after.
The read-only rules are checked there: the firmware's top-level folders,
/gemini/cache, and files being written (a Track, a Capture, an upload,
today's IRC Logs). A listing reads the folder straight from FatFs: through
the Arduino File, 329 entries took over two seconds.
Viewers by type: text read a screen at a time whatever the file's size
(logs open at the end), a hex dump, a Capture's packets as the LoRa Scanner
lists them, a Track's summary, and an Update File checked as an install
would check it, without writing anything. Tab shows any file as hex or text.
Settings > Storage is gone: usage, Storage Clean-up and Erase are the App's
Maintenance, behind a warning. The Storage Warning points there.
The Clock sets the system time whatever its source, so files are dated
correctly with a GNSS Fix alone (Q137).
Console: cp, mv, mkdir, du, cancel; rm takes folders and follows the rules;
ls shows dates; Debug Builds get `sd fill`.
424 host tests. Checked on the device: docs/milestones/F1.md.

Debug Builds: `lora noise test` changes one thing at a time, Sweeps the
band, and reports the floor under each condition; it runs on the device
by itself, since one condition pauses Wi-Fi (not saved, so a restart
brings it back). Result, at 125 kHz: -117 dBm with the antenna switched
off, -106 with the GNSS receiver in standby, -98 with it running. The
receiver's serial line isn't it (one sentence a second changes nothing),
and neither are the main loop, the CPU frequency, Wi-Fi, the screen or
the radio's own regulator, all within 1 dB.
Settings > "Pause GNSS for LoRa", off by default: the receiver waits in
standby while the radio listens or sweeps, except during a Track, and
has a Fix again about 7 s after. The GNSS App says it's paused.
11 dB remain between the antenna with GNSS quiet and the chip alone,
untouched by anything that can be switched from the firmware.

The GNSS Service reads the receiver (UART 15/13, 115200, 1 KB buffer)
from its 50 ms tick and feeds the NMEA parser. With a Fix it sets the
clock (GNSS is the most trusted TimeSource) and refreshes it every 10
min. Settings gets GNSS On/Off and the coordinate format (Q64).
Off puts the receiver in standby with $PCAS12,65535, renewed hourly; On
wakes it with a hot start, $PCAS10,0. Both measured on the device: the
output stops within a second, and a command wakes it within a second.
Commands: gnss status (Fix, satellites per constellation, bytes and
sentences), gnss nmea on|off, gnss send <sentence>, gnss restart. The
probe is gone; never drive GPIO 15 (the receiver's output): the first
probe's swapped-pin attempt silenced it until a power cycle.

- 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

- lib/wifi (host-tested): SavedNetworks (up to 8, validated, hidden
flag, persisted) and WifiController (joins the strongest Saved
Network, tries hidden ones in turn, backoff 10/30/60 s, connect
timeout, Monitoring override, radio off without Saved Networks)
- WifiService carries out the controller's actions, sets the EU
country code, and syncs the Clock over SNTP without touching the TZ
- Wi-Fi On/Off setting; Settings > Wi-Fi page: status, add from a scan
or a hidden network, forget
- Status Bar: W + signal bars, W? while searching, MON while monitoring
- Serial: wifi add / wifi status (replaces the step 1 heap probe)
Verified on the device: joins the test network ~5 s after boot, clock
set over NTP, ~129 KB free heap while connected.

- 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
