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.

The Notes App lists the files of /notes by their first line, newest first:
n starts a note, Enter opens it, r renames its file, d deletes it after
asking, s sorts by name. A new note's file is named after its first line.
The editor wraps at spaces, 38 columns by 8 rows; Fn+arrows move through
the wrapped text, Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E go to the ends of the line. There is no
save key: the note is written five seconds after the last key, on Back, on
leaving the App, when the screen turns off and before the device powers
off. A save writes a temporary file and puts it in the note's place; a save
cut short is put back, or offered, the next time.
A note is up to 16 KB, held in one buffer reserved when it's opened: the
file is read straight into it and typing never makes it grow. A failed
allocation aborts on this device, and with IRC connected the largest free
block is about 31 KB: a first version that copied the note once on loading
restarted the device when a full note was opened with IRC connected.
Editing files of any size is #47.
The Storage App's text viewer gets `e`, which edits a text file up to 16 KB
with the same editor unless the file is read-only.
439 host tests. Checked on the device: docs/milestones/F1.md.

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.

It made 50,000 passes a second and kept core 1 100 % busy at rest. Keys
are buffered by the keyboard controller, the consoles and the radio have
their own tasks, and no Service ticks more often than every 50 ms, so
the loop now rests 5 ms after a pass with the screen on and 20 ms with
it off; never during a serial file transfer. Safe Mode's loop too.
Screen off: 50 passes a second and core 1 at 1 %; screen on: 167 and
10 %. The chip settles 4 C cooler (34.3 against 38.3). GNSS, Gemini, an
upload, the Sweep and the radio's interrupt all checked at the new pace.
`tasks` shows the loop's passes; Debug Builds: `loop spin on|off`.

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).

Enter on a Saved Network opens its page instead of asking to forget it:
"IP address" switches between Automatic and Fixed, with an address, a
prefix and an optional gateway. Fixed starts from what the network is
giving the device; the draft is checked and applied on leaving the page,
so a half-typed address is never used. "DNS and NTP" holds the two DNS
servers, "Always use my DNS" and the two NTP servers. Enter on Status
shows the connection's details and where each value came from. Address
fields take digits and dots only; refusals show as Toasts.
Checked on the device through the screens: Fixed 10.39.39.13 applied and
reverted to Automatic, a prefix of 99 refused. Measurements in
docs/milestones/S1.md.

The card "refused" a write about once in 2,000 multi-block writes: three
1.7 MB uploads in ten. Measured with a driver that records where it gives
up: every time, all blocks were accepted, and the status check after Stop
Tran came back as 0xFF or 0x1F. The driver tests for ready with the first
byte after selecting the card, which reads 0xFF before the card has
signalled busy, so CMD13 went out mid-programming. A dummy byte first, as
in ChaN's reference driver, and one after Stop Tran.
30 uploads in a row since, each read back by SHA-256, ten with the radio
listening: no fault. 10 MHz made no difference; the card stays at 20 MHz.
`info` shows the driver's write faults; `put` prints the step and the
card's answer when one happens. ADR 0007.

Outside, on battery, an hour on LongFast with a Capture running: 0
packets, 0 headers. The noise is no lower than at the desk and its peaks
follow the device, so about 15 dB of the floor is the Cardputer's own
(issue #20). With IRC on TLS and the radio listening, 52.6 KB free. One
"Done when" item is half met: Sweep was never tried against a known
transmitter. The card's refused writes are issue #21.

Tab in the LoRa Scanner sweeps 863-870 MHz in 100 kHz steps (the
strongest of three RSSI readings at each, at 125 kHz), shown as bars with
peak hold over a waterfall, the Sniffer's frequency marked (Q98). The
Sweep pauses the Sniffer and keeps its packets; Tab resumes it (Q99).
Status Bar: SW. The floor, top and peaks are host-tested; `lora sweep
on|off|dump` prints them on the console.
At the desk: about 607 ms a pass, a flat floor at -100 to -102 dBm
(15 dB above the chip's own) and a steady carrier at 863.2 MHz.

The Sniffer lists packets newest first (time, RSSI, SNR, and for
Meshtastic the sender, receiver and hops), with the clear header and a
hex dump on Enter (Q96); `p` picks an EU868 preset, kept in Settings
(Q95). `c` starts a Capture: pcap with LoRaTap in /captures/lora, its own
Clean-up category, recorded by a small Service so it carries on with the
App closed (Q97, Q100). The Status Bar shows L while listening, bright on
each packet, and CAP while capturing (Q101). StorageService gains raw
appends for binary files. Debug Builds get `lora inject` to test all of
this with no transmitter in range: a Capture made on the device reads
back in TShark field for field.

The 16-byte clear header (hops away, channel hash, relay node), the EU_868
presets and their frequency slots, and the channel hash, all checked
against Meshtastic's source. Captures are pcap with LoRaTap v0, read back
with TShark 4.2.5; packet RSSI is plain dBm, as Wireshark reads it.

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).

The Radio Service owns the SX1262 and shares the SPI bus with the card;
the LoRa Scanner shows packets (Sniffer) and the band (Sweep). Nothing in
M3 can transmit. Notes and the File Browser move to issues #19 and #3.

A page larger than memory allows is now windowed instead of cut: one
pass over its file (cache or Saved Page) counts lines, indexes every
64th (offset, and the preformatted state there in bit 31: about 1 KB
for a 1 MB page) and loads the first window. Scrolling near either end
reads the next or previous window on the Gemini task; the line on top
of the screen stays put, the scrollbar follows the whole page, and Tab
at a window's edge pages on instead of wrapping. Window budgets count
the memory the old window gives back.
Display pages alternate between two cache files so the one on screen
is never overwritten by the next fetch; jobs use a third.
On the device, Cosmos with IRC connected: 226 of 419 lines at first,
then lines 192-419, back to 64 and 0 while scrolling. `key space` added
to the console's key command.

Everything touching the network or the card is a job on the Gemini
task (a missing card can block 5 s, past the main loop's watchdog):
about:start is composed from /gemini/bookmarks.gmi and the Saved Pages
(by capsule, newest first); file:// opens a Saved Page; s, S, r, d, b
and downloads report one line to the URL bar, S with progress Toasts.
A Saved Page is the cached body with a first line "> Saved from <url>
on <date>": it shows as a quote and gives relative links their base;
inside one, links to other Saved Pages open the saved copy, others go
online or say "Not saved, and offline". Input prompts (11 masked)
request the same URL with the answer as its query.
Fixed on the way: re-wrapping indented lines rebuilt the text from its
rows, inserting a space where a long word had been cut; refreshing
loaded the whole Saved Page next to a TLS connection (heap down to 436
bytes), now it reads one line and every fetch checks the 55 KB floor.

GeminiService fetches on a short-lived task and hands the App a
GeminiPage: header, the body as lines in 4 KB chunks (TextBuffer: no
large block, no doubling copies), the final URL after up to 5
redirects. Certificates are pinned on first use per host and port; a
change comes back as its own outcome with both fingerprints. No fetch
starts below 55 KB free (Q86).
With a card, the body streams to /gemini/cache/page.gmi in 1 KB pieces
while the connection is open, then loads into RAM once its memory is
back (Q87); StorageService::runAndWait (moved from the Debug Console)
keeps every card access on the storage task. Without a card: RAM, with
the steady and transient floors.
Measured with IRC connected: Cosmos (31.6 KB) went from 4.6 KB to the
whole page on the card and 20 KB on screen; lowest free heap 19.5 KB
in transfer, 43 KB once loaded. `gemini get` and `gemini trust` on the
console. 14 Gemini tests.

query encoding for input prompts, Saved Page paths; the response header
(status, category, MIME type and parameters, 1024-byte meta limit);
gemtext's line types; and display text for the Latin-1 fonts. 12 tests.
Q86, decided after step 1: free heap stays above 40 KB in steady state
and 20 KB during a handshake; a fetch won't start below 55 KB.

`gemini get <url>` fetches on a short-lived task (a handshake would trip
the main loop's watchdog; an idle client should cost no stack) and
reports the header, size, certificate fingerprint and heap. First page:
geminiprotocol.net, 20 text/gemini, 1,184 bytes in 0.7-1.1 s.
With IRC connected over TLS, a fetch dips to about 24 KB free during its
handshake, about 36-40 KB after it; nothing leaks. Antenna is down, so
the default aggregator becomes Cosmos.

custom_sdkconfig makes pioarduino regenerate the ESP-IDF libraries:
asymmetric TLS buffers (16 KB in, 4 KB out) and dynamic buffers that
free handshake-only data once connected. The rebuild also follows the
board: no PSRAM, 8 MB flash. The project now carries the partition
table the hybrid build needs (identical to the framework's: the app
slots must not move under updates over the air). Generated files are
ignored.
Debug Build, GNSS on, IRC on TLS: 78 KB free and a 59 KB low (M2 began
at 31 KB and 12.6 KB; the floor is 40 KB). The full stress set passes
on it: refused installs over Wi-Fi and from SD, put/get, screenshot,
core dump decode, Probation; under all of it at once, the low is 46 KB.

IrcService::disconnect() stops the session from any state: QUIT if
connected, then no more retries. /quit goes through it (before, it only
stopped a connected session; while waiting for Wi-Fi or retrying it did
nothing), and so does the new `irc stop` command. Stopped by hand,
opening the IRC App no longer reconnects; typing a line does.
mDNS is gone: it never crossed the dev box's routed network, and it
cost about 7.5 KB of RAM. Pushes go to the IP shown in Settings ->
Firmware, which drops its Name row. OTA Q54 records the change.
On the device, Debug Build: 105.6 KB free with Wi-Fi (was 98); with IRC
on TLS 54 KB free (was 46); after `irc stop`, back to 99 KB.

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.

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.

A temporary `gnss probe` command listens on both pin orders at 115200
and 9600. Only RX 15 / TX 13 at 115200 carries NMEA, as Meshtastic's
board file says; M5Stack's GPIO 8/9 are the keyboard's I2C bus. The
output format (NMEA 4.10, GSA system IDs, GSV per signal) is recorded in
docs/milestones/M2.md.
