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 documentation had kept up feature page by feature page and nowhere
else. Now also:
- the home page's App cards (notes of any size, pictures, sharing) and its
note (the Shell, the VPN, the screenshot key);
- the guide: VPN in the Status Bar and in Settings, the three keys that work
everywhere, screenshots of the Shell, a picture, sharing, the VPN page and
the help panel;
- three how-tos: move files with your phone, set up the VPN, take a
screenshot; where the files are and what things cost in memory;
- the FAQ: screenshots, and what listens on the network;
- the README's opening: what the firmware does today;
- the glossary: Tunnel, Sharing, Screenshot;
- every milestone's status line, with the version each thing shipped in.

A Zola site in site/, from the design: both themes on the device's
palette, notched shapes, self-hosted fonts, the wordmark and icons, two
generated hero drawings, nine App cards (the mesh messenger marked
planned), real screenshots, the updates and build sections. The Install
page builds ESP Web Tools' manifest in the browser from the Gitea API (it
needs Caddy to allow the origin), refuses any download that isn't on the
project's server, and falls back to the esptool steps. Downloads lists the
releases. The focus ring shows on notched controls. A page checker fails
the build if a page loads from another origin.
