@@ -18,8 +20,27 @@ scripts/ci.sh

 This runs the host-side unit tests (`test/`, `native` environment), then builds the firmware. The output is `.pio/build/cardputer-adv/firmware.factory.bin`.

+`scripts/coverage.sh` runs the same tests with coverage counters and writes a line-by-line report to `.pio/coverage/index.html`. The badge above is its figure for `main`: the share of the lines of `lib/` that the host tests run. `lib/` is the logic that compiles on a PC; `lib/SD` (the card's driver) and `src/` (the Apps, the Services, everything that needs the device) have no host tests and aren't in that figure.
+
 The framework is rebuilt with the TLS settings in `platformio.ini` (`custom_sdkconfig`, ADR 0006), so the first build after a fresh checkout takes about 4 minutes; later builds take under a minute.

+## CI and releases
+
+Gitea Actions (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`, docs/milestones/R1.md) runs the host tests on every push to `main`, and on a pull request also builds the firmware: changes reach `main` through pull requests. Pushing a tag `v*` runs all of it and publishes a release on Gitea with:
+
+- `roro9stack-<version>.ota`, the signed Update File;
+- `roro9stack-<version>-factory.bin`, the whole flash image for a first install over USB;
+- `roro9stack-<version>.elf.gz`, to decode crash reports from that build;
+- `SHA256SUMS`.
+
+CI signs with the project's key, held as a repository secret (ADR 0008). There is one firmware: the Debug Console is in every build, switched off until its owner switches it on (ADR 0010).
+
+`scripts/ota_verify.py <file.ota>` checks an Update File on a PC the way a device does. `scripts/release_build.sh` and `scripts/release_publish.py` are what the workflow runs; they work the same by hand.
+
+## The website
+
+The project's site, **roro9stack.net**, is built from `site/` with Zola (see `site/README.md`): the home page, an Install page that flashes a Cardputer from the browser, and every release. Changes under `site/`, `docs/`, `README.md` and `CONTEXT.md` run only the site's CI job, not the firmware tests and builds.

+### Updates from Gitea
+
+With no PC and no card, the device can install the project's releases itself (docs/milestones/R1.md). In **Settings → Firmware**:
+
+- **Latest release** checks the server (Enter, or `c`) and says `v0.11.0 (new)` or `(current)`. Enter again opens the release: its version, date, size and the tag's message, with **Install** when it's newer. The download goes straight into the inactive slot, so no card is needed; the signature is checked after the first 160 bytes, before anything is written, and the image's hash at the end. The new firmware then runs on Probation as for any update.
+- **Older releases** lists the last ten, newest first. Opening an older one offers to go back to it, with a different question.
+- **Settings → Check for updates** (on by default): once a day, with Wi-Fi up and the clock set, the device looks at the latest release and says `v0.11.0 is out: see Settings > Firmware`, once per version. It installs nothing by itself, and doesn't announce a version that already failed and rolled back on this device.
+
+The connection is checked against the two ISRG roots Let's Encrypt chains end in (ADR 0009), not the usual bundle of about 130 authorities. Whatever the connection, the Update File's own signature is what decides what gets installed.
+
+**IRC steps aside.** A secure connection takes about 52 KB of memory at its peak, and IRC's own takes 40 KB of the 107 KB there is. A check or an install you ask for makes IRC disconnect for the few seconds it takes and reconnect afterwards. The daily check never does that: with IRC connected it waits for a moment when IRC isn't, so while IRC stays connected for days it doesn't run, and **Latest release** is the way to check.
+
+**There is no separate Debug Build** any more (ADR 0010): every firmware installs releases, and the Debug Console is a setting, which an update leaves as it was.

+- **Tasks:** every FreeRTOS task with its core, its share of a core over the last second, and the least stack it ever had left (in the warning colour under 512 bytes). `s` sorts by share, stack or name.

A Capture keeps recording with the App closed; otherwise the radio sleeps when the App isn't open.

+## Storage
+
+The Storage App (docs/milestones/F1.md) shows what's on the SD card: each folder's entries with their size and date, folders first. Enter opens a folder, Back goes up; `s` sorts by name, date or size. It works on one item at a time, with a clipboard:
+
+| Key | Does |
+|---|---|
+| `c` / `x` | Copies or cuts the selected file or folder; the footer shows what `v` would paste |
+| `v` | Pastes it into the folder shown. A copy next to its original is named `name (2).txt`; anything in the way is asked about first |
+| `r` | Renames |
+| `d` | Deletes, after saying what's inside: "Delete saved and its 42 files (1.2 MB)?" |
+| `n` | Makes a folder |
+| `i` | Details: type, exact size, date, and why an item is read-only if it is |
+
+A copy runs in the background of the card (about 400 KB a second) in short turns, so Logs and Captures keep being written; it shows its progress, Back cancels it and takes back what was copied, and each file's size is checked afterwards. Three things can't be changed: the top-level folders the firmware keeps its files in (what's inside them can), `/gemini/cache`, and any file being written right now (today's IRC Logs, a Track or a Capture being recorded). The App says why when it refuses. A folder with more than 256 entries shows the first 256 by name and says so.
+
+Enter on a file opens it by type; Tab switches to the same file as a hex dump or as text:
+
+- **Text** (`.txt`, `.log`, `.gmi`, `.csv`, and anything that looks like text): only the screen's worth is read from the card, so a file of any size opens at once. Logs open at the end. Up and Down move a line, Left and Right a page, `t` and `b` go to the top and the end, `e` edits it (up to 16 KB, see Notes).

+## Notes
+
+The Notes App (docs/milestones/F1.md) keeps plain text notes in `/notes` on the SD card. The list shows each note's first line and its date, newest first; `s` switches to by file name. `n` starts a note, Enter opens one, `r` renames its file, `d` deletes it after asking.
+
+In the editor, type. Enter starts a line, Del deletes backwards, Fn with the arrows moves the cursor through the wrapped text, Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E go to the start and the end of the line, Tab types two spaces, and the Compose Key gives accents as everywhere. **There's 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. The top line says "typing" or "saved". Each save writes a temporary file and then puts it in the note's place, so a power cut costs a few seconds of typing and never the note; if a save was cut short, opening the note offers its copy back.
+
+A new note has no file until something is typed; its file is then named after its first line (`shopping-list.txt`), or `note-<date>-<time>.txt`.
+
+A note holds up to 16 KB while it's edited. A bigger text file opens read-only in the Storage App (editing any size is issue #47). The Storage App's text viewer has `e` to edit a file with the same editor, anywhere on the card, unless the file is read-only.

Then, with `RORO_OTA_HOST` set to the device's IP:

 ```sh

 # A Debug Console over Wi-Fi, in Debug Builds only

+**Superseded in part by [ADR 0010](0010-debug-console-in-every-build.md) (2026-10-06):** there is no Debug Build any more. The console is in every firmware, off until switched on, and its token belongs to the device, not to the build. What this record says about how the console works (the ring, commands on the main loop, binary commands on its own task, one client) still holds.
+
 The goal of Firmware Updates is to manage the device without a cable, and that includes finding out what went wrong. So a **Debug Build** (`cardputer-adv-debug`, `-DRORO_DEBUG`, version suffix `+debug`) adds a **Debug Console** on TCP 2323: the serial console, over Wi-Fi. A client sends a token as its first line, then gets the last 4 KB of console output (boot messages included), every new line live, and runs the same commands as the serial port, plus a few that only make sense remotely. ESP-IDF's own log lines are teed into it.

 It's compiled out of release builds entirely, rather than switched off by a setting. A console that runs commands is a remote control: in a release build, nothing listens.

+Rollback protects against new firmware that fails Probation. It does nothing for firmware that was confirmed and crashes later: a corrupt setting, a server that sends something unexpected, a bug that takes an hour to show. Without a cable, such a device would restart forever. Three measures, in every build, keep it reachable:

- **Safe Mode.** The firmware counts starts that follow a crash (panic or watchdog) in NVS, first thing at boot. After 3 in a row, it starts only the clock, Wi-Fi, the Update Service and, in a Debug Build, the Debug Console: no Apps, no IRC, no SD card, and a screen that says so with the address to push an update to. Any normal restart (a `reboot`, an update), or a minute of uptime, resets the count.
- **Crash reports.** The same boot record keeps which version was running, so after a crash the firmware knows which one crashed, even when a Rollback has switched slots since. ESP-IDF already writes a core dump to its flash partition on a panic; after the restart the firmware prints its summary (task, PC, reason, backtrace) and raises a Notification. The `crash` command shows it again later. In a Debug Build, `scripts/rdbg.py crash` decodes the backtrace and `scripts/rdbg.py coredump` fetches the whole dump for `esp-coredump`, against the ELF of that exact build (`.pio/elves/`, named by version and ELF digest).

And an installed update no longer depends on the main loop: the Update Service restarts into it by itself after 90 s.

+# CI signs releases with the project's key
+
+A tag `v*` is built, signed and published by Gitea Actions with nobody at a keyboard. The signing key of ADR 0003 is therefore held twice: in `~/.config/roro9stack/ota-key.pem` on the development machine, as before, and as the repository secret `OTA_SIGNING_KEY`, which the release step writes to a file for as long as it runs.
+
+We chose this over signing by hand after CI has built (a command per release, the key in one place), and over a second key for CI that the firmware would also trust. A release that needs a manual step isn't made on the day it's ready, and issue #6, the device installing releases by itself, needs releases that are always there and always signed.
+
+## What it costs
+
+- **Whoever can run a workflow in this repository can sign firmware every device accepts.** That means: anyone who can push to it, the runner's host and whoever administers it, and the Gitea instance with its database, where the secret is stored. Before, it took the development machine.
+- The runner executes jobs **on its own host**, not in a container, as a user who can use Docker. A workflow is not confined.
+- Pull requests from forks must never run with this secret. Gitea doesn't pass secrets to them; the workflow also only runs on pushes and by hand.
+
+## What limits it
+
+- The release step checks the signed file against the public key in the sources it built (`scripts/ota_verify.py`): a wrong or replaced secret stops the release instead of publishing a file no device takes.
+- ADR 0003's way out stays: a firmware release can carry a new public key. If the secret is ever in doubt, make a new pair, ship it in a release signed with the old key, and replace the secret.
+- A device still only installs what it's told to (until #6), keeps a new image on Probation, and rolls back one that doesn't hold.

+# The device trusts the two ISRG roots for what it fetches
+
+The firmware talks to the project's Gitea over HTTPS (issue #6, and #4 after it). A TLS client has to decide whose certificates it believes. Three ways were possible:
+
+- **The framework's bundle**, about 130 certificate authorities (about 60 KB of flash). Any of them could vouch for `git.twis.la`.
+- **Pin the server's certificate**, as the Gemini App does for capsules. The server's certificate is replaced every few months, so a pin would ask the question again at every renewal.
+- **Carry the roots the server's chain ends in:** `ISRG Root X1` (RSA 4096) and `ISRG Root X2` (ECDSA P-384), the Let's Encrypt roots, about 2.7 KB of flash (`src/platform/ca_roots.h`).
+
+We chose the third. The chain and the name are checked by mbedTLS during the handshake. It trusts one organisation's two roots, valid until 2035 and 2040, and a renewal changes nothing.
+
+## What it costs
+
+- **If the server moves to another CA, the device can no longer reach it**, and the next firmware, carrying that CA's root, has to come from the PC or the SD card. Both still work; they don't use TLS.
+- The roots are public data checked against the published fingerprints (listed in the file), refreshed by hand if Let's Encrypt ever changes them.
+
+## What it doesn't change
+
+The Update File's own signature (ADR 0003) is what decides what gets installed. A hijacked connection could hide a release, or serve an older signed one, but never make the device install firmware that isn't ours. The TLS check matters more for #4, where a token will travel over it.
+
+## Measured while building it
+
+A TLS connection to this server peaks at about 52 KB of heap, **the same whether the certificate is checked or not**, so skipping the check would have saved nothing. The cost is the connection itself (record buffers and handshake), not the trust decision.

+# The Debug Console is in every build, off until its owner switches it on
+
+There is **one firmware**. The Debug Console of ADR 0004 is compiled into it, and so are the commands that used to exist only in Debug Builds. It listens only while **Settings → Debug Console** is on, which is not the default, and it lets in whoever proves they hold **the device's own token**. The `cardputer-adv-debug` environment, `RORO_DEBUG`, the `+debug` version and the token compiled in from the builder's machine are gone.
+
+ADR 0004 kept the console out of release builds with one argument: a console that runs commands is a remote control, so in a release nothing should listen. That argument was never whole: the Update Service has listened on TCP 3232 in every build since Firmware Updates exist, guarded by a signature. A listener that is off by default and guarded by a secret the device made itself is the same kind of trade, and what the split cost had grown:
+
+- **What was tested wasn't what shipped.** Development ran on Debug Builds; releases were a different binary, built to be published and never run by the person who wrote them.
+- **Debug Builds couldn't be published**, since each carried its builder's token. So the console, `rdbg.py`, screenshots and crash decoding were for whoever built the firmware, and nobody else.
+- **Rules that existed only to protect the console:** a Debug Build never installed a release (it would have lost the console), `update install … force` to do it anyway, "keep a Debug Build in the fallback slot", versions with `+debug` that had to compare equal to their release.
+- **CI built two firmwares** on every pull request and every tag.
+
+## How it works
+
+- **Off means nothing is there.** With the setting off, no socket listens, the console's task doesn't exist and neither does its 4 KB ring: a device that never uses the console pays for it in flash (30 KB more than the release build was) and 88 bytes of static RAM, measured. A missing or invalid stored setting counts as off.
+- **The token is the device's.** The first time the console is switched on, the device makes one from its hardware random generator: 100 bits, as 20 characters of Crockford's base32 (`K7QF-3M2X-9WBD-HT4P-6RNC`), shown on the Debug Console page and nowhere else. It can be replaced by one typed by hand, of 16 to 64 characters. It is stored with the other settings and is never printed on a console.
+- **The token never crosses the network.** The device sends 16 random bytes; the client answers with their HMAC-SHA256 keyed by the token. Someone on the same Wi-Fi who records a login has nothing they can use for the next one.
+- **Five wrong answers in a row** close the console to everyone for a minute, with a Notification naming the address they came from. A wrong answer still costs a second.
+- **`DBG` in the Status Bar** while the console listens, bright while a client is connected.
+- **USB serial can set it up:** `debug on`, `debug token <value>`, `debug token new`. `scripts/flash.sh --debug` uses them to give a freshly flashed device the developer's token. Whoever holds the cable can flash anything anyway (ADR 0003); the console itself can only switch itself off.
+- **Safe Mode** starts the console if it's switched on: the settings are read before Safe Mode is decided.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **"Nothing listens" now rests on one stored setting**, not on absent code. That setting is typed, validated and host-tested, and its default is off; a bug that flipped it would have to come from code that already runs on the device.
+- **Whoever has the token and the network has the device:** the console, its keys, the SD card's files, a restart. Not its firmware: an update still has to be signed (ADR 0003).
+- **The stream is still plain text.** The token is safe from an eavesdropper; what the console prints, and the files it carries, are not. TLS would cost about 52 KB of the 107 KB there is, next to IRC's own connection: not for a console.
+- **An old `rdbg.py` can't talk to a new firmware**, and the reverse: the first line of the protocol changed. Accepted, with one user.
+- **A device whose settings are damaged has no console in Safe Mode**, only the signed update push. Before, a Debug Build always had it.
+- **The commands that crash, damage a download or fill a folder on purpose** are in every build. They need the cable or the token, like everything else.
+- **Releases already publish their ELF**, so `rdbg.py crash` fetches it when it isn't in `.pio/elves/`: crash reports can be decoded without having built the firmware.

+
+**Status:** in progress. The Storage App (issue #3) shipped as **v0.9.0** on 2026-10-06. Notes (#19) shipped as **v0.10.0** the same day. The card as a USB drive (#1) comes after.
+
+**Goal:** get at what's on the SD card from the device itself: browse it, look inside the files the firmware writes, copy, move, rename and delete, and keep notes. A side milestone, like G1 and S1; Files and Notes were M3's original second half (Q30, Q89).
+
+## The Storage App (issue #3)
+
+Until now the card could be looked at only through the Debug Console (`ls`, `get`, `put`), and Settings > Storage could only delete whole categories by age.
+
+**On the card today:** six top-level folders, `irc`, `wifi`, `updates`, `gnss`, `gemini` and `captures`. No `notes` yet; settings are in flash, not on the card.
+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q128 | An App of its own, **Storage**, in the Launcher. **Settings > Storage goes away:** its usage figures, Storage Clean-up and "Erase SD card" move into the App, under **Maintenance**, behind a warning that these delete things for good. |
+| Q129 | A row shows the name, then the size or "folder", then the date modified. Folders first, then by name; `s` cycles the sort (name, date, size). The top line shows the path and the card's free space. |
+| Q130 | Nothing is hidden. **Read-only:** `/gemini/cache`; any file the firmware has open right now (today's IRC log, a Track or Capture being recorded, a file being received); and the top-level folders themselves, which can't be renamed or deleted though their contents can. **Everything else, the user's own data included, can be renamed, moved or deleted**, always after a confirmation. |
+| Q131 | One item at a time, with a clipboard: Enter opens; Back goes up, and leaves the App at the top; `c` copy, `x` cut, `v` paste into the current folder; `r` rename; `d` delete; `n` new folder; `i` details. |
+| Q132 | Copy, move and delete work on folders too, recursively. The confirmation says what's inside: "Delete *saved* and its 42 files?". |
+| Q133 | A copy is a job on the storage task in 4 KB pieces, with a progress Toast; Back cancels it. It checks free space first and asks before replacing anything. **Afterwards the sizes are compared**, not the contents: the driver is trusted since v0.6.1 (ADR 0007). A move within the card is a rename. |
+| Q134 | Viewers by type. **Text** (`.txt`, `.log`, `.gmi`, `.csv`, `.gpx`, and anything that looks like text): read from the card as you scroll, so size doesn't matter; logs open at the end. **`.pcap`:** the LoRa Scanner's packet list. **`.gpx`:** a summary (start, duration, points, distance), Tab for the text. **`.ota`:** version, size, whether the signature is valid; Enter installs through Update from SD. **Anything else:** a hex dump. |
+| Q135 | No editing: that comes with Notes (#19). |
+| Q136 | A listing holds **up to 256 entries**, packed, about 10 KB; a bigger folder shows the first 256 by name and says how many more there are. The App refuses to open below the memory floors (Q86). |
+| Q137 | **The Clock also sets the system time**, so files are dated correctly with GNSS alone and not only after NTP. A file dated before 2020 shows "-". |
+| Q138 | Console: `cp`, `mv` and `mkdir`, next to `ls` and `rm`. |
+| Q139 | Left out, each with its issue: selecting several items (#41), finding files by name (#42), opening a `.gmi` in the Gemini App (#43), a table view for `.csv` (#44), images (#45). |
+| Q140 | Ships as **v0.9.0** when done and checked. |
+
+### Done when
+
+- The Storage App lists any folder of the card with sizes and dates, sorted three ways, and says so when a folder has more than 256 entries.
+- A file can be copied, moved, renamed and deleted, and a folder too; a new folder can be made. Each destructive action asks first; a copy shows progress and can be cancelled.
+- The read-only rules of Q130 hold, with a reason given when something is refused.
+- Each viewer of Q134 opens its type, and a 1 MB text file scrolls without loading whole.
+- Maintenance shows the card's usage and does what Settings > Storage did, behind its warning; Settings no longer has a Storage row; the Storage Warning points at the Storage App.
+- A file written with only a GNSS Fix (no Wi-Fi) is dated correctly.
+- Free heap stays above the floors with the App open, Wi-Fi and IRC on TLS.
+
+### Work breakdown
+
+1. **Model** (host-tested): paths and names, the read-only rules, the packed listing and its sorts, file types, sizes and dates for display, the GPX summary.
+2. **Card operations:** listing a folder, copy, move, delete (recursive, counted), new folder, as storage jobs with progress and cancel; `cp`, `mv`, `mkdir`; the Clock sets the system time.
+3. **The App:** browsing, the clipboard, dialogs, details.
+4. **Maintenance:** usage, Clean-up and Erase moved in from Settings, with the warning.
+5. **Viewers:** text, hex, `.pcap`, `.gpx`, `.ota`.
+6. **Checks on the device**, recorded here.
+
+### As built
+
+- **`FileOps`** (`src/services/file_ops`) does the card's work for the App and for the console alike: list, count, copy, move, delete, new folder. One operation at a time on the storage task, **in turns of about 150 ms** that queue themselves again, so Log lines and a Capture are written in between. The rules of Q130 are checked there, whoever asks.
+- **A listing reads the folder straight from FatFs.** Through the Arduino `File`, every entry was looked up by name again for its size and again for its date: 329 entries took over two seconds. One pass now, and it's there before the screen has redrawn. Counting, copying and deleting still walk with `File`; they show progress and can be stopped.
+- **A copy shows its progress in a box in the App**, not a Toast (Q133): it has a bar and says Back cancels. A cancelled or failed copy deletes what it had written. The copy gets today's date, like `cp`.
+- **The viewers** (`src/apps/file_viewer`, models in `lib/files`): text through `TextPager`, which reads about a kilobyte around the screen and wraps at spaces, 38 columns; going back a line wraps the paragraph before again, so a file reads the same in both directions. A `.pcap`, a `.gpx` and an `.ota` are read through once by a storage job, in the same 150 ms turns. An Update File is fed to the installer's own parser with a sink that writes nothing, so "would it install" is the same answer an install gives.
+- **Tab** in a viewer shows the same file as hex, or as text (not in Q134).
+- **Maintenance** is the last row at the top of the card, and `m` anywhere in the App. It's the old Settings > Storage page behind a dialog.
+- **The Storage Warning** was only ever a Toast; "selecting it opens Storage Clean-up" (CONTEXT.md) was never built. It now reads "SD card over 80% full: see Storage".
+- **Console:** `cp`, `mv`, `mkdir` (Q138), and `rm` and `du` through the same code, so `rm` now takes folders and follows the rules; `ls` shows dates. Debug Builds: `sd fill <folder> <count>` makes test files.
+
+### Checks on the device (2026-10-06, v0.8.1-2 Debug Build)
+
+All in a scratch folder, `/f1test`, removed afterwards.
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Host tests | 424 pass (411 before the viewers' models) |
+| Browsing | Folders first, sizes and dates, the three sorts; a 300-file and a 329-file folder show "first 256 of 300" and "of 329" |
+| New folder, rename, copy, cut and paste, delete | Each works on a file and on a folder; a copy next to its original is named `(2)`; a name in the way asks "Replace it?" |
+| A folder of 11 files, 8.4 MB, copied | 19.4 s, 435 KB/s, the bar moving; two Log lines queued meanwhile were written |
+| The same copy cancelled at 1.8 MB | "Cancelled: nothing was copied", and nothing was left behind |
+| Delete | 341 files in 9.7 s; the dialog had counted them first |
+| Read-only rules | `/irc`, `/gnss` (top-level folders), `/`, `/gemini/cache` and a folder made inside it, a folder into itself, a name with `:`; a Capture being recorded and the folder holding it; a folder under `/irc` while IRC runs. Each refused with its reason; the Capture could still be copied |
+| Text | A 1 MB log opens at its last line at once; top, pages, lines; a file without an extension that looks like text opens as text |
+| Hex | A 5 KB binary file; Tab from any other viewer |
+| `.pcap` | A LoRa Capture: 3 packets as the Scanner lists them, Enter shows the Meshtastic header and bytes |
+| `.gpx` | 400 points: start, 33 min 15 s, 4.68 km; Tab shows the text |
+| `.ota` | A signed file: version, "intact", "older than what's running", Enter asks to install (not confirmed). A tampered one: "image corrupted (hash mismatch)" |
+| Maintenance | The warning, then usage, Clean-up's categories and Erase (not run) |
+| Date with GNSS only | NTP pointed at an address that doesn't answer, restart: the Clock came from the Fix, and a folder made then is dated 2026-10-06 08:39. A Track from the day before, written the same way by v0.8.1, shows "-" |
+| Memory | IRC connected, the App open on 256 entries: 61 KB free (70 KB before opening). Lowest since boot 29.7 KB, during IRC's TLS handshake |
+| Stacks | `storage` 3.1 KB free of 6 KB at worst, `loopTask` 1.5 KB |
+
+**Not checked by hand:** how the keys feel on the device itself; everything above was driven through the Debug Console's `key` command and screenshots.
+
+**One slip during the checks:** a scripted key sequence ran in the wrong folder and renamed `/gemini/saved` to `saved2`, then copied it to the top of the card. Both were put right at once (renamed back, the copy deleted; 7 files, 53,798 bytes, as before).
+
+**Found on the way:** a panic at Wi-Fi join, there since v0.7.0 (SNTP started twice, issue #46). Fixed in v0.9.0.
+
+## Notes (issue #19)
+
+Plain text notes on the SD card, written on the device. Q30 settled the base: `.txt` files in `/notes`, created, edited and deleted from the device, never offered by Storage Clean-up.
+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q141 | A **Notes** App in the Launcher. One row per note: its first line as the title, then the date. Newest first; `s` switches to by name. `n` new, Enter opens, `d` deletes after a confirmation, `r` renames the file. |
+| Q142 | A new note's file name is never typed: it comes from the first line when the note is first saved (`shopping-list.txt`), or `note-20261006-0919.txt` if that line is empty. It doesn't change afterwards unless the note is renamed. |
+| Q143 | **Autosave, no "discard changes?" prompt:** five seconds after the last key, on leaving the note or the App, and when the screen turns off. A save writes a temporary file and renames it over the note, so a power cut loses the last few seconds at most. A temporary file left behind is offered back at the next open. |
+| Q144 | The whole note is in memory while it's edited, up to **16 KB**. A bigger text file opens read-only in the Storage App's viewer. The App refuses to open below the memory floors (Q86). **Editing files of any size must come in a later release: issue #47.** |
+| Q145 | The editor wraps at spaces, 38 columns by 8 rows, with a line for the name and the state. Enter is a new line, Del deletes backwards, Fn+arrows move (the Text Entry rule), Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E go to the start and the end of the line, Tab types two spaces, Back saves and returns. The Compose Key works as elsewhere. |
+| Q146 | The Storage App's text viewer gets `e`: edit this file with the same editor, for a text file up to 16 KB that isn't read-only. That lifts Q135 without Apps opening each other (#43 stays). |
+| Q147 | The list is flat: the files directly in `/notes`. Sub-folders are reached through the Storage App. |
+| Q148 | UTF-8, LF line ends; a file with CRLF is saved back with LF. Characters the font lacks are kept on save. |
+| Q149 | Left out, each with its issue: editing files of any size (#47), searching inside notes (#48), undo (#49), selecting and copying text (#50). |
+| Q150 | Ships as **v0.10.0** when built and checked on the device. |
+
+### Done when
+
+- A note can be started, typed with accents, left and found again in the list under its first line; renamed; deleted after a confirmation.
+- What's typed is on the card five seconds after the last key, and after Back, Home, or the screen turning off, without a prompt.
+- Pulling the power while typing loses a few seconds at most, and the note is never left empty or half-written.
+- The cursor moves by character and by line through wrapped text, and the screen follows it; a 16 KB note edits without lag.
+- A note at 16 KB refuses more text and says so; a bigger file opens read-only.
+- `e` in the Storage App's text viewer edits a file; a read-only one is refused with its reason.
+- Free heap stays above the floors with a 16 KB note open and IRC connected.
+
+### Work breakdown
+
+1. **Model** (host-tested): the text buffer with its cursor, wrapping and scrolling; file names from first lines.
+2. **The editor on the device:** loading, drawing, keys, autosave through a temporary file, recovery.
+3. **The Notes App:** the list with titles, new, rename, delete.
+4. **`e` in the Storage App.**
+5. **Checks on the device**, recorded here.
+
+### As built
+
+- **`NoteText`** (`lib/notes`, host-tested) is the text, its cursor and the screen around it. A line owns the space or the newline it ends with, so every byte is on exactly one line and the cursor has one place for each. **No index of lines is kept:** a note of newlines alone would need twice its own size for one. Where a line starts is worked out from the start of its paragraph.
+- **One buffer, 16 KB, for as long as the editor is open.** It's reserved when the note is opened, the file is read straight into it, and typing never makes it grow. On this device a failed allocation is an abort, and with IRC connected the largest free block is about 31 KB whatever the total says: the first version read the file into one string and copied it into another, and opening a full note with IRC connected restarted the device. The editor now also refuses to open without a free block of 24 KB.
+- **`NoteEditor`** (`src/apps/note_editor`) is shared by the Notes App and the Storage App's `e`. A save runs on the storage task while the main loop waits for it: no second copy of the note, and at 16 KB the wait is a fraction of a second at a moment when nobody has typed for five.
+- **A save** writes `<note>.tmp`, checks its size, deletes the note and renames the temporary file (FAT can't rename onto a file). A cut between the last two steps leaves only the `.tmp`: the Notes list puts such a file back under its name. A `.tmp` next to its note is an unfinished save: opening the note offers it.
+- **Titles** in the list are read from the card for the eight rows on screen, when the list moves.
+- **Before powering off**, the firmware now leaves the foreground App (`PowerService::beforePowerOff`), which makes the editor save.
+- Shift or Alt with Fn+Up and Fn+Down moves a page (not in Q145).
+
+### Found on the way
+
+- **The screen could go "off" for one tick after a key sent through the Debug Console**, and the next key was then swallowed as a wake-up: the `key` command stamps the power timer from `millis()`, the power tick compares with its pass's older time, and the unsigned difference read as 49 days idle. The same shape as #46. Fixed in `PowerPolicy::update` with a test. Keys from the keyboard were never affected. It explains remote keys "lost" in earlier sessions.
+- **`scripts/rdbg.py` held back piped lines** written while it was still connecting, until the next line came (a buffered `readline()` behind `select()`). Fixed.
+
+### Checks on the device (2026-10-06, Debug Build of branch `notes`)
+
+Test notes were made in `/notes` and removed afterwards; the folder is left, empty.
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Host tests | 439 pass |
+| A first note | "No notes yet", `n`, typed three lines: the top line says "typing", then "saved" five seconds after the last key, under `shopping-list.txt`. 63 keys in a row all arrived |
+| Leaving | Back saves and returns to the list, which shows the note under its first line. Home in the middle of a new note saved it as `ideas.txt` |
+| The cursor | Down, Right, an insertion in the middle of a line; the screen scrolls through a note of about 230 lines |
+| A power cut | Typed, waited seven seconds, typed more and restarted the device at once (`reset`): the note has what was saved, whole, and not the last keys |
+| An unfinished save | A `.tmp` next to its note: "Unsaved copy... Keep the note / Use the copy"; using it brings its text back and saves it. A `.tmp` alone was put back under its name when the list opened |
+| 16 KB | A note of exactly 16,384 bytes opens and scrolls; one more character: "This note is full: 16 KB". A file of 16,398 bytes: "Too big to edit: 16 KB at most" |
+| Rename, delete, sort | `r` renamed `orphan.txt` to `orphan2.txt`; `d` asked, then deleted; `s` switched between newest first and by file name |
+| `e` in the Storage App | A note opened from the text viewer, edited, saved on Back; the listing shows its new size |
+| Memory | IRC connected, the full 16 KB note open: 55 KB free, largest block 31.7 KB (72 KB free before opening) |
+
+**Not checked:** accents through the Compose Key and Ctrl+A / Ctrl+E (the remote `key` command can't send them; the model's tests cover both), the power button's save (it needs a hand on the device), a missing card, and how typing feels on the keyboard itself.
+
+**One slip during the checks:** a key sequence sent right after a restart opened IRC instead of Notes, and the test letters went into IRC's input line. Nothing was sent: the line was cleared and the App left. IRC connected to Libera as it does when opened.

+# R1 — Releases
+
+**Status:** in progress. CI and signed releases on Gitea (issue #5) are in place since 2026-10-06: every tag from v0.1.0 to v0.10.0 has its release. Updates from Gitea (issue #6) is built and checked on the device, on branch `gitea-updates`, not merged yet. The Issues App (#4) comes after.
+
+**Goal:** a tag is a release, built the same way every time and published where a device can find it.
+
+## CI and releases (issue #5)
+
+Until now the tests, the builds, the signing and the flashing all happened on one machine, through `scripts/ci.sh` and `scripts/flash.sh`. Nothing was published.
+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q151 | A push to `main`: the host tests (with their coverage). A push to another branch: nothing, its pull request is what runs (a branch with an open pull request ran twice, once for each). A pull request: the same and both builds; changes reach `main` through pull requests. A tag `v*`: all of it, then a release. (First: everything on every push, which rebuilt the firmware far more often than anyone looked at it.) |
+| Q152 | **CI signs.** The signing key is the repository secret `OTA_SIGNING_KEY`; a tag push makes a complete, signed release with no manual step (ADR 0008). |
+| Q153 | *Revised by Q188: there is one firmware.* The Debug Build is built in CI with a token of the runner's own, to prove it compiles, and **isn't published**: it would hand everyone its Debug Console token. |
+| Q154 | Pull requests from forks don't start a run. |
+| Q155 | A release carries `roro9stack-<version>.ota` (signed), `-factory.bin` for USB, `.elf.gz` to decode crashes, and `SHA256SUMS`. |
+| Q156 | Its text is the tag's message, what the files are, and the commits since the tag before. |
+| Q157 | No cache service to begin with: measure first. |
+| Q158 | Reproducible builds aren't needed for signing any more (Q152); not pursued here. |
+| Q159 | **The tags from before CI get their releases too**, v0.1.0 to v0.10.0, built from each tag's own sources by running the workflow by hand. |
+| Q160 | Actions is switched on for the repository. |
+| Q161 | **Changes reach `main` through pull requests, merged as "rebase, then a merge commit"**, the only style the repository allows: the branch's commits keep their messages, the merge commit marks the pull request, and what CI tested is what lands. No squash, no fast-forward. |
+
+### As built
+
+- **One workflow, `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`, one job**, on the runner `runner0` (label `ubuntu`). The job asks for a `python:3.12-slim` container, installs git, a compiler, openssl and PlatformIO, and runs the same scripts as a developer's machine. No Docker inside the job.
+- **The cache is a Docker volume**, `roro9stack-pio`, mounted at `/pio`; the runner's `config.yaml` allows it under `container.valid_volumes`. A first run downloads about 1 GB and rebuilds the framework. Measured from the jobs' own start and end times: the first full run on an empty cache took 11.4 minutes (tests and both builds); the first run in a container, 8.1; a pull request now takes about 8.7 (tests, coverage and both builds), a release build alone 5.5, and a push to `main` (tests and coverage) 1.1. (An earlier version of this note said 17 minutes: that was the waiting time, not the job's.)
+- **No JavaScript actions**, so the image needs no Node and nothing is fetched from GitHub: the checkout is four git commands.
+- **`scripts/_docker.sh`** runs the command in place when `RORO_NO_DOCKER` is set (a CI job is already in a build container), and in the project's image otherwise. The Debug Build's token is made on the spot in CI and goes with the container.
+- **`scripts/release_build.sh <checkout> <out>`** builds a tag's own sources with today's tools, signs, verifies against the public key in those sources, and writes the files and the release's text. **`scripts/release_publish.py`** creates the Gitea release or completes it; run twice, it replaces what's there. Both run the same on a developer's machine.
+- **`scripts/ota_verify.py`** checks an Update File as a device does, on a PC.
+- **The job's own token** (`secrets.GITEA_TOKEN`) is enough to create a release and upload its files.
+- **Old tags.** v0.1.0 to v0.3.0 are from before the framework was rebuilt with our settings (ADR 0006) and can't link against a rebuilt one left in the cache: the release build puts the stock framework libraries back for them. v0.1.0 to v0.2.1 have no public key in their sources (Firmware Updates came with v0.3.0); their files are checked against today's.
+
+### How it went
+
+- **The runner's label took three tries.** Registered as `ubuntu://docker:ubuntu:resolute` and then as `ubuntu::docker://...`, Gitea took the whole string for the label's name; with the first, jobs ran on the runner's host itself. The first version of the workflow was written for that (plain shell, `docker run` for the build) and published v0.10.0 that way. `ubuntu:docker://docker.gitea.com/runner-images:ubuntu-latest` is the form that works.
+- **Gitea 1.27's API can't cancel a run that isn't finished**, only delete a finished one; switching Actions off and on for the repository doesn't either. Runs queued for a label that no longer exists stay queued until cancelled in the web UI.
+- **CI's image isn't byte-identical to a local build of the same tag** (same size, different bytes). Not pursued (Q158).
+
+## Updates from Gitea (issue #6)
+
+The device looks at the project's Gitea for a newer release, says so, and installs it on request, with the same signed Update Files, Probation and rollback as a push from the PC or an install from the card.
+
+### What the server gives (checked 2026-10-06)
+
+- **Its certificate** is Let's Encrypt, all ECDSA: leaf `git.twis.la` (renewed every few months, next expiry 2026-12-14) under the intermediate YE2, Root YE and ISRG Root X2, which X1 cross-signs. Pinning the leaf would ask a question at every renewal.
+- **The API** answers over HTTP/1.1, chunked: `releases/latest` is 3.2 KB (about 350 bytes of it matter), a list of ten releases is 33 KB.
+- **A download** is a direct 200 with `Content-Length` and no redirect; ranges work.
+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q162 | **Trust:** the firmware carries ISRG Root X1 and X2 and checks the server's chain and name against them, not the framework's bundle of about 130 CAs (ADR 0009). Shared with #4. If the server moves to another CA, the next firmware comes from the PC. |
+| Q163 | The Update File's own signature stays the real guard. A hijacked connection could hide a release or offer an older signed one, never install firmware that isn't ours. |
+| Q164 | The source, `git.twis.la` and `twisla/roro9stack`, is a constant in the firmware. A fork changes it, and has its own key. |
+| Q165 | **When:** on request in Settings > Firmware, and once a day in the background while Wi-Fi is up and the Clock is set (certificate dates need it). A setting, **Check for updates**, on by default. It installs nothing by itself; it skips quietly below the memory floor and never runs during an install. |
+| Q166 | A Toast, "Update v0.11.0 available: see Settings > Firmware", once per version per boot. |
+| Q167 | **The download goes straight into the inactive slot,** no card needed. A truncated or tampered file is refused after 160 bytes or at its end, and the running firmware is untouched. A failed download starts over. |
+| Q168 | A version that failed (rolled back) isn't announced again by the background check until a newer one exists; it can still be installed by hand. |
+| Q169 | **Older releases:** a list of the last ten, newest first, the running one marked. Installing an older one asks with a stronger warning. |
+| Q170 | Enter on a release shows its version, date, size and the tag message, with Install. |
+| Q171 | *Revised by Q188: there is no Debug Build, every firmware installs releases.* **Debug Builds** check and show the latest release, but don't install it: it would replace the Debug Build and its console (Q153: Debug Builds aren't published). Their updates come from the PC. |
+| Q172 | **Memory, as measured:** a TLS connection peaks at about 52 KB of heap, with or without checking the certificate, so it starts with 80 KB free (Q86's 20 KB spare on top), not 55 KB. **A check, list or install someone asked for makes IRC step aside** and come back after; the daily check never does, and with IRC connected it waits. (First: 55 KB and nothing else. With IRC connected a check left 3 KB and a download 836 bytes.) |
+| Q173 | Left out, each with its issue: installing automatically (#52), a release channel (#53), resuming a download (#54). |
+| Q174 | Ships as **v0.11.0**. Tested on the device with the real signed releases; a Debug Build command pretends the device runs an older version, so v0.10.0 counts as an update. |
+
+### Done when
+
+- A check, by hand or daily, tells the right thing: up to date, newer available, no network, bad certificate, no clock, too little memory.
+- A newer release installs from the Firmware page with no card and no PC, and the device restarts into it and confirms it.
+- A tampered or truncated download is refused and the running firmware keeps running.
+- The Older releases list shows ten, and installing one asks first.
+- A release that rolled back isn't announced again.
+- A Debug Build shows the latest release and doesn't install it.
+- The daily check never runs below the memory floor, during an install, or without a clock.
+
+### Work breakdown
+
+1. **Model** (host-tested): a streaming JSON scanner, the release list read from it, HTTP response heads and chunked bodies, URLs, which release counts as an update.
+2. **The connection:** the root certificates, an HTTPS client, a check and a list from the Update Service's task; console commands to try them.
+3. **The download:** an HTTPS source for the existing install path.
+4. **The screens:** the Firmware page's release rows, the release page, Older releases, the setting, the daily check and its Toast.
+5. **Checks on the device**, recorded here.
+
+### As built
+
+- **`lib/release`** (host-tested): a streaming JSON scanner, the release reader built on it, HTTP heads and chunked bodies, URLs, and the decisions (which release is an update, whether to announce it, which download URLs are taken). A list of ten releases is 33 KB of JSON and costs a few hundred bytes of memory, because nothing is kept but the path.
+- **`HttpsGet`** (`src/platform`): one GET, the answer read as a stream, redirects not followed. **`GiteaReleases`** keeps the latest and the list. **The Update Service** serves the requests on its own task (about 5.4 KB of its 7 KB stack at the peak) and installs through the install path that already existed, with an HTTPS source in place of the card or the TCP port.
+- **The daily check** is scheduled from the Update Service's tick: Wi-Fi up, the Clock set, no Probation, nothing else going on, memory for a connection. The day it last succeeded is kept in flash.
+- **A version that failed** (rolled back) is remembered as `ota_failed`, and isn't announced again by the daily check.
+- **The screens:** the Firmware page's Latest release and Older releases rows, a release page with the tag's message, and the install dialog.
+- **Debug Builds** get knobs to try what can't be tried otherwise: `update pretend`, `probe`, `damage` and `daily`.
+- **The first message,** `... available: see Settings > Firmware`, was cut at 48 bytes by the notification's own limit; it now reads `v0.11.0 is out: see Settings > Firmware`.
+
+### Checks on the device (2026-10-06, Debug Builds of branch `gitea-updates`)
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Host tests | 456 pass |
+| Check and list against the live server | The certificate is accepted against the two embedded roots; `releases/latest` read; a list of ten (33 KB) streamed |
+| Servers that must be refused | github.com, example.com, expired.badssl.com, self-signed.badssl.com, wrong.host.badssl.com, untrusted-root.badssl.com and the router: each "isn't accepted" or a TLS error |
+| A download cut short at 800,000 bytes | Refused, "update file too short"; the running firmware untouched |
+| One byte flipped in the signature | Refused after 160 bytes, "bad signature"; the image isn't read further |
+| One byte flipped in the image | Downloaded in full, refused at its end, "image corrupted (hash mismatch)" |
+| The real v0.10.0, from the console and then from the screen | Downloaded, restarted, confirmed on Probation: the slot table read `v0.10.0, valid` both times. The Debug Build was pushed back from the PC after each |
+| The screens | Latest release (checking, then `(current)` or `(new)`), the release page with the tag's message, Older releases with ten rows, the install dialog (Cancel by default, Back cancels), the progress screen at 28% |
+| IRC connected, before the hold | A check left 3 KB of heap; a full download, 836 bytes |
+| IRC connected, with the hold | The lowest free heap during a full download: 38 KB. IRC reconnected afterwards (its counters kept growing) |
+| The daily check | It ran by itself, announced `v0.10.0 is out: see Settings > Firmware` once; with IRC connected (68 KB free) it didn't run |
+| Speed | 1.9 MB in about 46 s, 40 KB/s, over the guest Wi-Fi at -65 dBm; not investigated further |
+
+**Not checked:** the certificate's **name** on its own. Connecting by IP makes the server end the handshake before it shows its certificate, so that test proved nothing; the library sets the name it verifies, and OpenSSL on the PC refused the wrong name against the same chain. A failed daily check retrying, the clock not being set, the release that failed before not being announced (host-tested, not on the device), and the hold when IRC isn't connected but Gemini holds memory.
+
+**Limits worth knowing:**
+- **With IRC connected for days, the daily check doesn't run.** It would have to take IRC down to make room. Opening Latest release does.
+- **A server that changes CA can't be reached** until a firmware carrying the new root comes from the PC (ADR 0009).
+- **No resuming:** a broken download starts over (#54).
+- **A key press during the hold:** Back on the Firmware page while a check is going doesn't cancel it.
+
+**Two slips during the checks:** a blind sequence of keys on the Firmware page opened the SD card's install dialog (the page keeps its selection between visits); it was cancelled with Back, nothing installed. And my port-polling while waiting for a restart took the Debug Console's only client slot, which made the first install attempt look like a failure.
+
+## One firmware: the Debug Console in every build (issue #68)
+
+The issue asked for a token that could be set, so that Debug Builds could be published. The design round ended somewhere simpler: no Debug Builds. The console is in every firmware, off until switched on, with a token that belongs to the device (ADR 0010, which supersedes part of ADR 0004).
+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q188 | **One firmware,** with the Debug Console and the test commands compiled in. The `cardputer-adv-debug` environment, `RORO_DEBUG`, the `+debug` version and `scripts/debug_flags.py` go; CI builds one firmware. Revises Q153 and Q171. |
+| Q189 | **Off by default,** and off when the stored setting is missing or invalid. Off, nothing listens and no memory is used: the task and the 4 KB ring exist only while it's on. |
+| Q190 | **Settings → Debug Console:** the switch, where to connect, the token, "New token", "Type a token". It stays on across restarts and in Safe Mode. **`DBG` in the Status Bar** while it listens, bright with a client connected. |
+| Q191 | **The device makes the token** the first time the console is switched on: 100 bits as 20 characters of Crockford's base32, shown in groups of four. It can be replaced by one typed by hand, of at least 16 characters. Case and dashes don't count. |
+| Q192 | **USB serial can set it up:** `debug on`, `debug token <value>`, `debug token new`, over USB only; `debug status` and `debug off` from anywhere. `scripts/flash.sh --debug` gives a device the developer's token. The token is never printed. |
+| Q193 | **Challenge and answer:** the device sends 16 random bytes, the client their HMAC-SHA256 keyed by the token. Five wrong answers in a row close the console for a minute, with a Notification. **Old clients and old firmwares don't talk to each other:** accepted, this far from v1 and with one user. |
+| Q194 | `rdbg.py` takes the token from **`-t`/`--token`**, then **`$RORO_DEBUG_TOKEN`**, then `~/.config/roro9stack/debug-token`. |
+| Q195 | **The test commands are in every build** (`crash abort`, `crash wdt`, `update pretend`, `update damage`, `lora inject`, `sd fill`, `loop spin`, `wifi ip … try`). `update install … force` goes: there's nothing left to protect. |
+
+### As built
+
+- **`lib/debug`** (host-tested, 9 tests): the token maker, tidying what a person types, HMAC-SHA256 on the project's own SHA-256 (checked against RFC 4231), the answer to a challenge (the same vector as `rdbg.py`'s), a comparison that takes the same time whatever it's given, and the pause after five wrong answers, right across the clock's wrap.
+- **Two settings,** `DebugConsole` and `DebugToken`, with the others: validated, and invalid stored values count as missing.
+- **The console's task and ring come and go with the setting.** `Console::openRing` allocates the ring; switching off closes the socket, frees it and ends the task. `tick` follows the settings once a second, so a switch off and on again takes a second or two.
+- **Measured against the two builds it replaces:** 1,881,799 bytes of flash and 54,700 of static RAM. The release build was 1,851,387 and 54,612 (so 30 KB more flash and 88 bytes more RAM); the Debug Build was 1,874,887 and 58,780 (4 KB of RAM back: the ring is no longer a static array).
+- **The listener is asked whether it listens.** The framework's `begin()` returns nothing and fails without a word; the task now checks, says so on the console, and tries again every two seconds.
+- **`debug off <seconds>`** closes the console and brings it back by itself: the only way to try its closing and reopening from afar, since switching it on is for the device and the cable only.
+- **`scripts/rdbg.py`** answers the challenge, and fetches a release's ELF from Gitea when a crash names a version that isn't in `.pio/elves/`.
+
+### Checks
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Host tests | 468 pass (456 before) |
+| The firmware builds | One environment, 1,881,799 bytes of flash used |
+| Pushed over Wi-Fi to a device running a Debug Build | Installed, restarted; the update port answers and **port 2323 refuses connections**: off by default |
+| Switched on at the device (Settings → Debug Console) | A token is made and shown. Its first drawing, in bold at normal size, was misread once: it is now at twice the size, in two lines, and `O`, `I` and `L` are taken for `0` and `1` |
+| A login with `scripts/rdbg.py` | The challenge is answered; `info`, `screenshot` and the backlog work |
+| `DBG` in the Status Bar | There while the console is on, bright while a client is connected (screenshots) |
+| `debug on` and `debug token` over the console | Refused: `over USB serial only` |
+| Six logins with a wrong token | Five are refused, a second apart; the sixth, and the right token after it, get `locked`. After a minute the right token works again. The console's own log and a Notification say so |
+| Three `crash abort` in a row | **Safe Mode**, with the console reachable: `info` works, `ls /` says `not available in Safe Mode`. `rdbg.py crash` decodes the backtrace to `runCommand` at the `abort()` line. `reboot` leaves Safe Mode |
+| An update over Wi-Fi with the console on | The setting and the token survive: the console is back by itself after the restart |
+| `debug off` over the console | The client is dropped and port 2323 refuses connections; the update port still answers |
+| `debug off 2`, 10 times in a row, then 15 | It came back each time, a second after the pause. Free heap dips by about 270 bytes for each connection the device closes and **is all back two minutes later** (107.2 KB before, 103.2 right after 15, 107.0 at two minutes): TCP holds a closed connection that long. Not a leak, though it looked like one for an hour |
+| Memory, console on with a client | 108 KB free (the Debug Build it replaces: 104 KB). In Safe Mode: 178 KB free |
+
+**One false alarm:** after the tests the console "wouldn't come back on". It was off: the setting had been left off by `debug off`, and the page's "Switch it on?" dialog opens on **Cancel**, so Enter twice leaves it off. Nothing was lost.
+
+**Not checked:** `scripts/flash.sh --debug` over USB (no device on USB here); "New token" and "Type a token" from the page (the code paths are the ones `debug token` uses, which need the cable); the Toast itself on screen (the console is closed while it shows; its Notification is in the log); free memory with the console off, which only the serial port could say (the static figures above are the evidence); fetching a release's ELF, which needs a crash on a released version.

+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q117 | An App of its own, **System**, in release builds too. Read-only. |
+| Q118 | Four views, switched with Tab: **Overview** (CPU per core, memory, network, battery), **Tasks**, **Memory**, **System**. |
+| Q119 | Sampled once a second. A task's share is its run time over the last second; a core's load is 100 % minus its idle task's share. |
+| Q120 | **History only while the App is open:** two minutes at one sample a second, about 1 KB. The system already keeps what matters afterwards: the lowest free heap since boot and each task's lowest free stack. |
+| Q121 | **Bytes are counted per service:** IRC, Gemini, the Debug Console and Firmware Updates add what they read and write to a shared counter. The network view shows the connection details, each service's bytes in and out, and the signal strength. |
+| Q122 | Tasks: name, core, share, state and lowest free stack, sorted by share; `s` cycles the sort (share, stack, name). **Under 512 bytes of stack left shows in the warning colour.** |
+| Q123 | Memory: free heap, lowest since boot, largest free block, and a two-minute graph of free heap **with the floors of Q86 drawn as lines** (55, 40 and 20 KB). |
+| Q124 | System: uptime and why it last started, firmware and both app slots, chip temperature and CPU frequency, battery voltage and percentage, SD usage and write faults, the radio's and the GNSS receiver's state. |
+| Q125 | `info` and `tasks` are split into a **snapshot** that the console and the App share; the arithmetic (shares from two samples, sorting, the stack warning) is host-tested. |
+| Q126 | Left out: acting on tasks, an event log, exporting snapshots to the card. |
+| Q127 | The main loop uses about 81 % of a core. The App shows it; fixing it is issue #40, not part of #11. |
+
+The App has five views, not four: Q121's network view is one of its own (Overview, Tasks, Memory, Network, System).
+
+### Measured (2026-10-06)
+
+- **Traffic counters are exact.** A Gemini fetch of a 164,970-byte page counts 164,986 bytes in (the page and its 16-byte header line) and 42 out (the 40-character URL and CRLF). A 1,797,760-byte upload counts 1,798,123 in for the Debug Console, commands included.
+- **The Memory view shows a TLS dip as it happens.** Starting IRC and a 165 KB Gemini fetch together: free heap falls from about 100 KB through the three floors to a low of 12.1 KB, then settles near 50 KB. That's the dip accepted in G1 (Q86).
+- **A run-time counter only moves when its task is switched out.** FreeRTOS adds to a task's run time at the context switch. The main loop takes the samples, and with core 1 to itself it's never switched out: its counter said 2 % while the core's idle task had 0 %. So the task that samples gets what's left of its core. With that: **the main loop uses 100 % of core 1 at rest** (issue #40 said 81 %, an average since boot).
+- **`tasks` on the console** sampled twice inside one command at first, a quarter second apart, and showed the loop at 1 %: it was asleep in the command's own wait. It now samples, lets the loop run for a second, and prints.
+- **Low stack, flagged:** `IDLE0` (232 bytes left), `IDLE1` (328 to 352) and `spk_task` (256 to 264), all the framework's own tasks.
+- **Cost:** 15.6 KB of flash for the App and the counters (1,742,723 bytes, release). Nothing while it's closed; about 2 KB of history and samples while it's open.
+
+## The main loop rests (issue #40)
+
+The loop polled the keyboard, ticked the Services, ran the consoles and redrew when needed, then came straight back: 50,000 passes a second, and core 1 100 % busy with the device idle and the screen off.
+
+Nothing needs that. The keyboard controller buffers key events; the consoles and the radio have their own tasks or interrupts; no Service asks for a tick more often than every 50 ms. So after each pass the loop now rests: **5 ms with the screen on, 20 ms with it off**, and not at all during a serial file transfer (`sd put`), which reads its bytes from the loop. Safe Mode's loop rests 5 ms too. Debug Builds have `loop spin on|off` to bring the old behaviour back for comparison.
+
+### Measured (2026-10-06, Debug Build, Wi-Fi connected, GNSS on, on USB power)
+
+| | Spinning | Resting |
+|---|---|---|
+| Passes a second, screen off | 50,160 | 50 |
+| Core 1 load, screen off | 100 % | 1 % |
+| Passes a second, screen on (Launcher) | 1,203 | 167 |
+| Core 1 load, screen on | 62 % | 10 % |
+| Chip temperature at rest, settled | 38.3 C | 34.3 C |
+| A 1.8 MB upload over the Debug Console | about 230 KB/s | 288 KB/s |
+
+- Still working at this pace: GNSS (a 3D Fix, 22 satellites), a Gemini fetch (52 KB), the upload read back by SHA-256, the Sweep (still 606 to 610 ms a pass), the radio's DIO1 interrupt.
+- **Not measured:** the current drawn (no meter on the battery line), and how typing feels on the real keyboard: a key now waits up to 5 ms for the loop, 20 ms if it's the one that wakes the screen.
+- **The radio's noise floor didn't move** (-97 to -99 dBm at 125 kHz either way): the spinning loop wasn't the source (issue #20).
+- **Not done:** real sleep. The framework is built without power management (`CONFIG_PM_ENABLE` is off), so an idle core only halts until the next interrupt. Automatic light sleep would need the framework rebuilt with it, Wi-Fi in modem sleep, and the USB serial port's behaviour checked. A next step if battery life calls for it.
+
+## The radio's noise: the GNSS receiver (issue #20)
+
+M3 found the LoRa radio's noise floor about 15 dB above what the chip hears alone, and that the source travels with the device. Which part? Debug Builds got a self-test, `lora noise test`: it changes one thing at a time, Sweeps the band eight passes (568 readings), records the median as the floor, and puts the thing back. It runs on the device by itself, because one condition switches Wi-Fi off, and `lora noise report` prints the result afterwards.
+
+### Measured (2026-10-06, indoors, on USB power, dBm at 125 kHz)
+
+| Condition | Floor |
+|---|---|
+| Antenna switched off (the chip alone) | -117 |
+| Antenna on, GNSS in standby | -106 |
+| Antenna on, GNSS running (as shipped) | -98 |
+
+- **The GNSS receiver, while it runs, raises the floor by 8 dB.** Three runs: -98 or -99 with it running, -106 in standby, every time. On LongFast (250 kHz) the Sniffer's own reading goes from about -93.5 to -101.5 dBm.
+- **It's the receiver working, not its serial line:** with one NMEA sentence a second instead of twenty (`PCAS03`), the receiver still tracking, the floor stays at -98.
+- **Nothing else moves it by more than 1 dB**, with GNSS running or in standby: the main loop spinning or resting, the CPU at 240, 160 or 80 MHz, Wi-Fi on or off, the screen on or off, the radio chip's regulator as DC-DC or LDO, its receive gain boosted or not.
+- **11 dB remain** between the antenna connected with GNSS quiet (-106) and the chip alone (-117). It comes in through the antenna and none of those switches changes it: the surroundings, or parts of the Cardputer that can't be switched off. Not separated: that needs another place, or the antenna on a cable away from the case.
+- M3's quick check had GNSS at "1 or 2 dB": it read one frequency for a few seconds, in a noisier spot. The median over the band is the better measure.
+
+### What the firmware does about it
+
+**Settings > Pause GNSS for LoRa**, off by default: while the LoRa radio listens or sweeps, the GNSS receiver waits in standby, and wakes when the radio goes back to sleep (a Fix again after about 7 s here). Never during a Track. The GNSS App says "GNSS is paused" meanwhile. `gnss quiet on|off` on the console.
+
+It's off by default because GNSS on by default was decided in M2 (Q58), and from M4 the radio listens all the time: then "pause while listening" means GNSS mostly off, which is a decision about position, the clock and Tracks, for M4's design round (issue #23).

+# W1: Website
+
+**Status:** phases 1 to 3 (home, Install and Downloads; the user guide; how-tos and the FAQ) and the devlog are live at roro9stack.net; phase 4 (the developer docs) is in a pull request. Issue #12.
+
+**Goal:** a public home for the project at **roro9stack.net**, separate from the blog (stories) and from Gitea (developers): what it is, how to install it, how to use each App, and the docs.
+
+The home page was designed on a canvas in a Claude chat (a dark and a light theme, built on the device's own 256-colour palette, pixel-notched corners, DM Mono and Hanken Grotesk). It is the starting point, not the final copy: it has to say only what the firmware does today.
+
+## What was found while planning (2026-10-06)
+
+- `roro9stack.net` already points at the server that hosts Gitea. Plain HTTP redirects to HTTPS; HTTPS has no certificate yet, which is the server's side to set up.
+- **Release downloads from Gitea carry no CORS header,** so a browser can't fetch the factory image from another origin as things are. Gitea is behind Caddy, which can add the header (below).
+- Zola can read JSON from a URL at build time (`load_data`), so the home page's "latest version" can come from the Gitea API.
+- There is no Gitea wiki: the design's "Wiki" links would 404.
+- The blog is published by pulling its repository on the web server and running `zola build`. The site does the same.
+
+## Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q175 | The site lives in this repository, in `site/`, so the documentation is built from `docs/`, `CONTEXT.md` and the README instead of being copied. |
+| Q176 | **Zola,** like the blog. The design becomes a template, its tokens CSS custom properties. Dark and light follow the visitor's setting, with a visible switch. No JavaScript except the flasher's. |
+| Q177 | Domain: **roro9stack.net.** The blog stays at experiments.twis.la. |
+| Q178 | **Publishing is the blog's way:** the web server pulls `main` and runs `zola build`; that part is the maintainer's. Changes reach `main` through pull requests as everywhere. **CI is split:** a dedicated `site` job builds the site (`zola build`) when `site/`, `docs/`, `README.md` or `CONTEXT.md` change, and the firmware tests and builds skip a change that touches nothing else. A change that touches both runs both. |
+| Q179 | Phases, each its own pull request: **1.** the CI split, the home page, an Install page with the browser flasher, downloads and the changelog. **2.** a user guide page per App. **3.** how-tos and the FAQ. **4.** developer docs generated from the repository. |
+| Q180 | **A browser flasher** (ESP Web Tools), **without copying the firmware.** Caddy, in front of Gitea, adds `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://roro9stack.net` (and `Vary: Origin`) to GET and HEAD on `/twisla/roro9stack/releases/download/*` and `/api/v1/repos/twisla/roro9stack/releases*`: both are public already. The Install page asks the API for the latest release in the browser, finds the asset ending `-factory.bin`, and gives ESP Web Tools a manifest built on the spot, so it offers a new release as soon as it exists, with no rebuild. The library is **vendored** into `site/static/` (Apache-2.0), not loaded from a CDN. The file's SHA-256 is shown on the page. Chrome or Edge on a desktop only; other browsers, and visitors without JavaScript, get the `esptool` steps on the same page. |
+| Q181 | Docs for the latest version only. The changelog is the Gitea releases, read at build time. |
+| Q182 | English only. |
+| Q183 | The FAQ starts from real questions: the README, and issues labelled `kind/docs`. |
+| Q184 | Fonts are **self-hosted** (no request to a third party). The hero keeps the design's illustrations, labelled as illustrations, and a section of **real device screenshots** is added. |
+| Q185 | **The site says only what the firmware does today.** Planned features are marked as planned, with their milestone. The mesh messenger is **planned**: the LoRa Scanner listens, nothing is sent. |
+| Q186 | Left out, each with its issue: a Gemini capsule mirror (#57), French (#58), docs per version (#59), search (#60). |
+| Q187 | The site has no version of its own. Contact is **contact@roro9stack.net,** and the issue tracker. |
+
+## The design, reviewed
+
+Kept as designed: the layout, the tokens, the nine App cards (their facts check out against the code: Probation 3 minutes, Safe Mode after 3 crashes, 60 seconds of typing before an update restarts the device).
+
+Changed before it ships:
+
+- **Install, not Download, is the first action.** Downloads are for developers; a visitor wants to try it.
+- **A "what you need" strip:** Cardputer ADV, the Cap LoRa-1262 (only the radio needs it), a microSD card, Wi-Fi. And a plain status line: the version, and what isn't there yet.
+- **The mesh card and the hero** no longer promise sending and reading mesh messages.
+- **The latest version is read from the API,** not typed.
+- **"Wiki" is replaced by Docs.** The updates section gains what v0.11.0 added: the device installs releases from the project's server itself.
+- **An independence line:** not affiliated with or endorsed by M5Stack or Meshtastic.
+- **No cookies, no analytics, no third-party requests,** said on the page (fonts self-hosted).
+- **The keyboard focus ring** is invisible on the notched buttons: `clip-path` clips an outline. Another way to show focus is needed.
+- **The wordmark SVGs** carry an embedded C2PA content-credentials block: stripped from the site's copies.
+
+## Done when (phase 1)
+
+- Pushing a change under `site/` runs the `site` job and not the firmware tests; a firmware change runs the firmware jobs and not the site's.
+- The home page renders in both themes, at phone width, with the keyboard, and says nothing the firmware doesn't do.
+- The latest version on the page is the latest release.
+- The browser flasher installs the latest release on a Cardputer ADV from Chrome (tried by hand), the page shows the file's SHA-256, and the `esptool` steps are on the same page.
+- A release published after the site was built is the one the Install page offers.
+- The home and Downloads pages make no request to another origin, and the Install page only asks git.twis.la.
+
+## Work breakdown
+
+1. **CI split:** a `site` workflow, path filters on the firmware workflow.
+2. **The skeleton:** `site/` with the tokens, fonts, base template and the theme switch.
+3. **The home page,** from the design, with the changes above.
+4. **Install and downloads:** the flasher with its manifest built in the page, the `esptool` steps, the changelog. Needs the Caddy headers on the Gitea host (the maintainer's side); the page is tested against them once they're in.
+5. **Checks,** recorded here.
+
+## As built (phase 1)
+
+- **CI is split.** `ci.yml` (the firmware) has `paths-ignore: site/**, docs/**, README.md, CONTEXT.md` on pushes to `main` and on pull requests. `site.yml` runs `zola check` and `zola build` with a Zola pinned by its checksum, then `site/tools/check_site.py`, when those files change. Gitea's own source (v1.24, read, not run against the 1.27 server) shows that path filters count as matched for tag pushes, so a tag still releases. A change that touches both runs both.
+- **The build output** goes to `public/` at the root of the repository, not into `site/`: `output_dir = "../public"` in `site/config.toml`, so `zola build` in `site/` and `zola --root site build` from the root agree, and git ignores `/public/`.
+- **The site** is in `site/`: `config.toml`, templates (base, home, install, downloads, 404), `data/` for the App cards and the screenshots' captions, `static/` (stylesheet, theme switch, fonts, wordmark, icons, real screenshots, the vendored flasher). `site/README.md` says how to build it and what the server needs.
+- **The home page** follows the design. Changed from it: the hero and the mesh card promise nothing that isn't built (the mesh messenger is a "planned" card), an Install button first, a status box, a "what you need" row, a section of real screenshots, the updates section says the device installs releases itself, an independence line and a statement about cookies and third-party requests in the footer, the latest version read from the Gitea API at build time, and the nav's Wiki replaced. The two hero drawings are generated by `site/tools/make_illustrations.py` (a port of the design's scripted shapes) as inline SVG.
+- **The focus ring.** `clip-path` clips outlines, so a focused notched control drops its notches and shows square corners and its ring.
+- **The Install page** asks the API for the latest release in the browser, builds the ESP Web Tools manifest as a blob, shows the version, size and SHA-256, and only ever hands the flasher a download from the project's own server for this repository. The flasher library (ESP Web Tools 10.4.0, Apache-2.0) is vendored, trimmed to the ESP32-S3. Fonts (DM Mono, Hanken Grotesk, SIL OFL) are self-hosted.
+- **The Downloads page** lists the last 30 releases with their files, read at build time.
+- **The wordmark SVGs** from the design carried an embedded C2PA content-credentials block; it is removed from the site's copies.
+
+## As built (phase 2, the user guide)
+
+- **`/guide/`** is a section of 11 pages, `site/content/guide/`, each with `template` from the section's `page_template` and an order from `weight`: the basics (keys, Launcher, Status Bar, first start, the card), then one page per App (LoRa Scanner, GNSS, Gemini, IRC, Wi-Fi tools, Notes, Storage, System), Settings and Updates. Pages with real screenshots list them in `extra.screens`, looked up in `data/screens.toml`.
+- **Facts come from the README, the milestone documents and the Apps' own source** (key handlers, labels, the Status Bar's drawing code), not from memory. Some wording was corrected against the source while writing: the Track folder is `/gnss/tracks`, the reasons a Track won't start, what the Status Bar shows.
+- **Not covered:** the mesh messenger (planned), the debug console and Debug Builds beyond a pointer to the README. How-tos and the FAQ are phase 3.
+
+## As built (the devlog)
+
+Not one of the planned phases: the blog's seven roro9stack posts, imported into `site/content/devlog/` and shown in the site's own style, with the **Blog** link in the navigation and the footer replaced by **Devlog**. The posts' text, tone and structure are unchanged; what changed:
+
+- **Links:** the posts' links to each other point to `/devlog/<same name>/`, and one link to an unpublished work-in-progress post became plain text. Each post keeps its old directory name, so the old URL `/<name>/` maps to `/devlog/<name>/`.
+- **The posts' parts** (the sign, the cast, the steps, asides, folded sections, diagrams, captions) are shortcodes in `site/templates/shortcodes/`, restyled in `static/css/devlog.css`: the site's palette, notched boxes, DM Mono and Hanken Grotesk. The two older posts about other subjects (a vinyl remote, a ZFS rescue) stay on the blog.
+- **The 17 diagrams are inline SVG**, and carried `<style>` blocks and `style` attributes that the site's Content-Security-Policy refuses. Their rules moved to `static/css/devlog-diagrams.css` (one block per diagram, plus colour classes for what the attributes did), and a diagram's minimum width is a class, not a style attribute. The Caddy policy needs no change.
+- **The diagrams' four colours** (red, green, yellow, accent) are defined for `.devlog` on the site's RGB332 grid, one value for each theme.
+- **Links between posts:** every post's reference to another ("the last post", "the first post", the milestone lists) is a link to it. `check_site.py` now also checks every link inside the site, and its #fragment: a broken one fails the Site job. External links are checked by `zola check` run by hand (without `--skip-external-links`, which CI uses); its only complaints today are line-range and heading anchors on Gitea, which Gitea resolves in the browser.
+- **An Atom feed** at `/devlog/atom.xml`, linked from every devlog page.
+- **Checked** in Chromium with the production CSP applied to every response: the index and the seven posts, at 1100 and 390 px, no policy violation, no broken image, no sideways scroll; `check_site.py` 24 pages, 0 problems.
+
+## Checks (2026-10-06)
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| The Site workflow's own commands, in a clean container with the pinned Zola | `zola check` clean, build and page checks pass |
+| `tools/check_site.py` | 4 pages, 0 problems: titles, descriptions, a language, every image with alt text, every local file referenced exists, nothing loaded from another origin |
+| Browser tests (Chromium, 16 checks) | All pass: no request to another origin from the home, Downloads and 404 pages; no horizontal scroll at 1280 and 390 px; a visible focus ring on a notched button; the Install page reads the latest release, shows its version, size and SHA-256, builds a blob manifest naming an ESP32-S3 factory image at offset 0, and loads only git.twis.la; a download on another host is refused; the real server (no CORS header today) makes the page fall back to the esptool steps |
+| The pages looked at | Home in dark and light, at desktop and phone width; Install; Downloads |
+| `esptool` against the real v0.11.0 factory image | An ESP32-S3 image, bootloader at 0x0, partition table at 0x8000: flashing at offset 0 is right. The command's syntax was checked, not a flash |
+
+**Not checked:**
+- **Flashing a real Cardputer from Chrome.** It needs the device on a machine with a browser; the page's flasher logic is tested, the flashing itself isn't.
+- **Caddy's headers** on the real server (not applied yet), and **HTTPS on roro9stack.net** (the name resolves, the certificate isn't there).
+- **The CI split on a change that touches only `site/` or `docs/`.** This pull request touches both the workflows and the site, so it runs both; the first docs-only pull request will show it.
+- Firefox and Safari rendering, screen readers, and a printed page.
+- The unverified wording in the Install text is kept to what's known: nothing about how long flashing takes, or what the screen shows in download mode.
+
+## As built (phase 3, how-tos and the FAQ)
+
+- **`/howto/`** has eight short recipes: when flashing fails, find your files on the SD card, install an update from the card, use a network without DHCP, record a Track, capture LoRa packets for Wireshark, read Gemini pages offline, and what to do when a connection says "not enough memory". **`/faq/`** is one page of questions with a list at the top. Both use the guide's templates (`guide-index.html`, `guide-page.html`, now generic: the page's parent section gives the eyebrow, the title and the pager).
+- **The FAQ starts from the README** and from the problems the project met (Q183): the flash troubles and the memory limit are the two that were hit most. The issues labelled `kind/docs` turned out to be design rounds for the mesh, not user questions, so they gave nothing to answer.
+- **Every step comes from the README, the milestone documents or the Apps' source.** The privacy answer says plainly that the device contacts the project's server once a day for the update check (on by default, one switch to turn it off).
+- **Linked from the guide's index,** not the navigation, which stays short.
+
+## As built (phase 4, the developer docs)
+
+- **`/dev/`** has four sections: **Debug Builds and the Debug Console** (first, and the longest: Debug Builds, the Console and its protocol, files and screenshots, driving the UI, crashes and Safe Mode, and the command reference), **Build, test and release** (the README's build, CI and flash sections, and how an update works, with the update file, the four ways in and Probation drawn), **Decisions** (the ADRs) and **Milestones** (the plans).
+- **Generated from the repository, not copied by hand:** `site/tools/gen_dev_docs.py` writes the ADR pages, the milestone pages, the README's sections, and the command reference, which is read from the firmware's own `help` text in `src/main.cpp` and then the README's table of what each command does. Zola can't read outside its own folder (not even through a symlink), so the generated pages are **committed**, and the Site workflow runs `gen_dev_docs.py --check` and fails when one is out of date; it now also runs when `src/main.cpp` changes, because the command list lives there. The server's `pull; zola build` is unchanged.
+- **Left out on purpose:** the M0 and M1 milestone documents and `CONTEXT.md` (the glossary) describe Wi-Fi monitoring, which the site does not publish. They stay in the repository.
+- **The Debug Console pages were written against the source and the live console:** the protocol (the token line, the banner, the 4 KB backlog, one client, 8 queued commands, 240-byte lines, `denied` after a second) and the replies shown were checked on a Debug Build, v0.11.0-3, over Wi-Fi. Not run: `crash abort`, `crash wdt` and Safe Mode, which are described from ADR 0005 and the code.
+- **Found while writing it:** the README's table lacked the `gnss` commands (rows added); piping commands into `rdbg.py` returns before the replies unless the input stays open (documented, not changed); `update install` on a Debug Build needs `force` (documented).

+```
+
+Or `zola build` with a Zola of your own, in `site/` (or `zola --root site build` from the root). **The output goes to `public/` at the root of the repository,** not into `site/`: `output_dir` in `config.toml`, and git ignores that directory. The build reads the latest release and the list of releases from the Gitea API (`load_data`); if the server can't be reached, the pages say so instead of failing.
+
+## Publishing
+
+The web server pulls `main` and runs `zola build`, as for the blog. CI (`.gitea/workflows/site.yml`) builds the site and runs the checks when `site/`, `docs/`, `README.md` or `CONTEXT.md` change; the firmware workflow skips a change that touches only those.
+
+## Things to know
+
+- **The Install page needs Caddy's help.** Gitea's release downloads carry no CORS header, so the page asks the API from the browser only if Caddy, in front of Gitea, allows this origin:
+
+  ```caddy
+  @releases {
+      method GET HEAD
+      path /twisla/roro9stack/releases/download/* /api/v1/repos/twisla/roro9stack/releases*
+  }
+  header @releases Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://roro9stack.net"
+  header @releases Vary Origin
+  ```
+
+  Without it the page says it can't reach the release server and points to the esptool steps.
+- **No third-party requests.** Fonts and the flasher library are served from here; `tools/check_site.py` fails the build if a page loads anything from another origin.
+- **Illustrations.** `templates/illustrations/*.html` are generated by `tools/make_illustrations.py`; run it again rather than editing them.
+- **Updating the flasher library:** see `static/vendor/esp-web-tools/README.txt`.
+- **Fonts** are DM Mono and Hanken Grotesk, under the SIL Open Font License (the licences are in `static/fonts/`).

It is built for one device, the M5Stack Cardputer ADV with the Cap LoRa-1262, and it is built to be **worked on without touching the device**: install a build over Wi-Fi, read its console, press its keys, take screenshots of it, copy files to and from its SD card, and fetch its crash dumps, all from a PC on the same network. The first section is about exactly that.
+
+Some of these pages are written by hand. The rest are **generated from the repository's own documents** (the decisions, the milestone plans, the README and the firmware's own `help` text), so they are never out of date: each says which file it comes from.

+## Requirements
+
+Only **Docker** is needed. PlatformIO and the ESP32 toolchain run inside a container, and are cached in the `roro9stack-pio` Docker volume. The first build downloads about 1 GB and takes a few minutes.
+
+## Build and test (local CI)
+
+```sh
+scripts/ci.sh
+```
+
+This runs the host-side unit tests (`test/`, `native` environment), then builds the firmware. The output is `.pio/build/cardputer-adv/firmware.factory.bin`.
+
+`scripts/coverage.sh` runs the same tests with coverage counters and writes a line-by-line report to `.pio/coverage/index.html`. The badge above is its figure for `main`: the share of the lines of `lib/` that the host tests run. `lib/` is the logic that compiles on a PC; `lib/SD` (the card's driver) and `src/` (the Apps, the Services, everything that needs the device) have no host tests and aren't in that figure.
+
+The framework is rebuilt with the TLS settings in `platformio.ini` (`custom_sdkconfig`, ADR 0006), so the first build after a fresh checkout takes about 4 minutes; later builds take under a minute.
+
+## CI and releases
+
+Gitea Actions (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`, docs/milestones/R1.md) runs the host tests on every push to `main`, and on a pull request also builds the firmware: changes reach `main` through pull requests. Pushing a tag `v*` runs all of it and publishes a release on Gitea with:
+
+- `roro9stack-<version>.ota`, the signed Update File;
+- `roro9stack-<version>-factory.bin`, the whole flash image for a first install over USB;
+- `roro9stack-<version>.elf.gz`, to decode crash reports from that build;
+- `SHA256SUMS`.
+
+CI signs with the project's key, held as a repository secret (ADR 0008). There is one firmware: the Debug Console is in every build, switched off until its owner switches it on (ADR 0010).
+
+`scripts/ota_verify.py <file.ota>` checks an Update File on a PC the way a device does. `scripts/release_build.sh` and `scripts/release_publish.py` are what the workflow runs; they work the same by hand.

+## Flash
+
+1. Connect the Cardputer by USB-C.
+2. Run:
+
+   ```sh
+   scripts/flash.sh            # auto-detects the port; or: scripts/flash.sh /dev/ttyACM1
+   ```
+
+   This uploads the firmware, then opens the serial monitor. Quit the monitor with `Ctrl+C`.
+
+**If the upload can't connect,** put the device in download mode: hold **G0** (the button next to the screen) while plugging in USB, or while pressing reset. Then retry.
+
+**If you get "permission denied" on the port,** your user needs access to the serial device. Run this once, then log out and back in:
+
+```sh
+sudo usermod -aG dialout "$USER"
+```
+
+## Firmware Updates over Wi-Fi (OTA)
+
+Once the Cardputer runs an OTA-capable firmware (flashed once over USB), updates can go over Wi-Fi:
+
+```sh
+scripts/ota_keygen.sh                  # once: creates the signing key (see ADR 0003)
+scripts/flash.sh --ota 10.39.39.12     # build, sign and push; or set RORO_OTA_HOST
+```
+
+The device shows the push address in **Settings → Firmware**. It installs a correctly signed update right away, restarts (waiting up to 60 s if you're typing), and runs the new firmware on **Probation**. If the new firmware crashes, or can't reconnect Wi-Fi within 3 minutes, it rolls back to the previous one and says so.
+
+To install from the SD card instead, copy the `.ota` file from `.pio/build/cardputer-adv/` into `/updates` on the card, then use **Settings → Firmware**. With the Cardputer on USB, the card can stay in: `scripts/sd_put.sh <file.ota>` sends it over the serial console into `/updates` (about 30 s for 1.6 MB, checked with SHA-256 before it's renamed into place; `SD_PUT_DEBUG=1` shows the console while it runs).
+
+**The private key** lives in `~/.config/roro9stack/ota-key.pem` and must never be committed. If it's lost, generate a new pair and flash once over USB. (CI signs releases with a copy kept as a repository secret, ADR 0008.)
+
+### Updates from Gitea
+
+With no PC and no card, the device can install the project's releases itself (docs/milestones/R1.md). In **Settings → Firmware**:
+
+- **Latest release** checks the server (Enter, or `c`) and says `v0.11.0 (new)` or `(current)`. Enter again opens the release: its version, date, size and the tag's message, with **Install** when it's newer. The download goes straight into the inactive slot, so no card is needed; the signature is checked after the first 160 bytes, before anything is written, and the image's hash at the end. The new firmware then runs on Probation as for any update.
+- **Older releases** lists the last ten, newest first. Opening an older one offers to go back to it, with a different question.
+- **Settings → Check for updates** (on by default): once a day, with Wi-Fi up and the clock set, the device looks at the latest release and says `v0.11.0 is out: see Settings > Firmware`, once per version. It installs nothing by itself, and doesn't announce a version that already failed and rolled back on this device.
+
+The connection is checked against the two ISRG roots Let's Encrypt chains end in (ADR 0009), not the usual bundle of about 130 authorities. Whatever the connection, the Update File's own signature is what decides what gets installed.
+
+**IRC steps aside.** A secure connection takes about 52 KB of memory at its peak, and IRC's own takes 40 KB of the 107 KB there is. A check or an install you ask for makes IRC disconnect for the few seconds it takes and reconnect afterwards. The daily check never does that: with IRC connected it waits for a moment when IRC isn't, so while IRC stays connected for days it doesn't run, and **Latest release** is the way to check.
+
+**There is no separate Debug Build** any more (ADR 0010): every firmware installs releases, and the Debug Console is a setting, which an update leaves as it was.

+A **Firmware Update** installs one signed file, an **Update File** (`.ota`). Every way of delivering it ends at the same gate, and a new firmware must prove itself before it is kept. The decisions are [ADR 0003](/dev/decisions/0003-own-signature-check-not-secure-boot/) (the signature), [ADR 0005](/dev/decisions/0005-safe-mode-crash-reports-watchdog/) (when the new firmware crashes) and [ADR 0008](/dev/decisions/0008-ci-signs-releases/) (who signs releases).

+## The Update File
+
+{{ diagram(src="update-file.svg", min_width=580, caption="A 160-byte header, then the image. Bytes 0 to 79 are signed.") }}
+
+- A **160-byte header**: the magic `RORO-OTA`, the format, the header size, the image size, the image's **SHA-256** and the version (bytes 0 to 79, the signed part), then the signature's length, the **signature** and reserved bytes.
+- The signature is **ECDSA P-256 over the SHA-256 of bytes 0 to 79**, checked by the firmware against a **public key compiled into it** (`keys/ota-public.pem`, committed), **before anything is written**.
+- Then the **image**, hashed while it is written; at the end the hash must equal the one in the header.
+
+Make, check and push one:
+
+```sh
+scripts/ota_keygen.sh                                  # once: creates the key pair. The private key goes to ~/.config/roro9stack/ota-key.pem (never committed); the public key to keys/ and the firmware source
+scripts/make_ota.py firmware.bin v0.12.0 out.ota       # wraps and signs an image (the key: $RORO_OTA_KEY or the default path)
+scripts/ota_verify.py out.ota                          # checks a file the way a device does, on the PC
+scripts/ota_push.py out.ota 10.39.39.12                # pushes it to the Update Service, TCP 3232
+scripts/flash.sh --ota 10.39.39.12                     # builds, signs and pushes in one go
+```
+
+`ota_push.py` prints the device's answer (`OK …`), or says the device **refused the update and hung up**, with the reason on the device's screen: the header is checked first, so a refused file stops mid-transfer.
+
+## Four ways in, one gate
+
+{{ diagram(src="ways-in.svg", min_width=580, caption="Every path ends at the same Update Service and the same signature check.") }}
+
+1. **Push over Wi-Fi** to TCP 3232: `scripts/flash.sh --ota`. The device always listens while Wi-Fi is connected.
+2. **From the SD card**: a `.ota` in `/updates`, installed from Settings → Firmware, from the Storage App, or with the `install <path>` command. Put it there by hand, with `scripts/rdbg.py put` over Wi-Fi, or with `scripts/sd_put.sh` over USB.
+3. **From the project's releases** on Gitea, which the device downloads itself over TLS (Settings → Firmware, or `update check` / `update install <tag>`): see [Flash and update](/dev/build/flash/).
+
+All three feed the same parser: the **header and signature are checked first**, the image is written to the **other app slot** while it is hashed, and the slot becomes the next boot **only if the hash matches**. Anything wrong ends in a Toast and **nothing changes**. A downgrade is allowed, and shows "older than the installed version".
+
+The device then restarts (waiting up to 60 seconds if you are typing) into **Probation**.
+
+## Probation and Rollback

+A new image is **not trusted** at first:
+
+1. **Install:** the image goes to the other slot and the OTA data marks it *new*.
+2. **Restart:** the bootloader turns *new* into *pending verify* and boots it.
+3. **Probation:** the new firmware must boot, draw its UI, start its Services, run **30 seconds without a crash**, and **reconnect Wi-Fi within 3 minutes** if one is configured.
+4. **Confirmed:** it marks itself valid and a Toast says `Updated`.
+
+If it crashes or restarts first, the bootloader marks the image *aborted* and boots the **previous firmware** again, which says the update failed. Meanwhile that previous firmware stayed in its slot: it is the way back.
+
+**Two lines of defence.** The bootloader's rollback is the first. The firmware counts its own boots on Probation, very first thing in `setup()`, and reverts itself on the second unconfirmed start, as a second line. And Arduino-ESP32 normally marks an image valid *before* `setup()` runs, which once hid the bootloader's rollback entirely; the firmware overrides `verifyRollbackLater()` so an image stays pending until Probation confirms it.
+
+## Who signs releases
+
+A tag `v*` is built, signed and published by Gitea Actions, with the signing key held as a repository secret as well as on the maintainer's machine ([ADR 0008](/dev/decisions/0008-ci-signs-releases/) says what that costs and what limits it). The release step checks the signed file against the public key in the sources it built, so a wrong secret stops the release instead of publishing a file no device accepts.
+
+**If the private key is ever lost,** the next update has to go over USB, carrying a new public key. Someone with USB access can always flash anything: only Wi-Fi and SD card updates are guarded, by design (ADR 0003).

+
+- **see everything the device prints**, boot messages included, without a cable;
+- **run every serial command** from your desk;
+- **press keys** and **take screenshots**, so a UI change can be tested and looked at remotely;
+- **copy files** to and from the SD card;
+- **read crash reports and fetch core dumps**, decoded against the exact build that crashed;
+- **update the firmware** over the same Wi-Fi, and know that a bad update rolls back by itself.

+weight = 2
+[extra]

+diagrams = true
+++
+
+## Connect
+
+```sh
+export RORO_OTA_HOST=10.39.39.12   # or pass -H <ip>
+
+scripts/rdbg.py            # interactive: the backlog, then live lines; type commands
+scripts/rdbg.py info       # one command, and its reply
+scripts/rdbg.py -b tasks   # the same, with the backlog shown first
+```
+
+`scripts/rdbg.py` is a Python script with no dependencies. A one-shot command prints the reply and what follows, until the console has been quiet for a moment (1.5 seconds). It takes the token from `-t`, `$RORO_DEBUG_TOKEN` or `~/.config/roro9stack/debug-token` ([Switch the console on](/dev/debug/switch-it-on/)) and talks to **TCP 2323** on the device's address. In interactive mode, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>D</kbd> or `quit` leaves. Piped input works too, but `rdbg.py` leaves **as soon as its input ends**, before the replies arrive: keep the input open for a few seconds, as in `(printf 'info\ntasks\n'; sleep 3) | scripts/rdbg.py`. For one command, the one-shot form above is simpler.
+
+The device listens **only while the console is switched on and Wi-Fi is connected**, and the console follows Wi-Fi: it stops listening when Wi-Fi drops and starts again when it is back.
+
+## What you get
+
+On connecting, in order:
+
+1. a **banner**: `roro9stack v0.12.0 debug console. 'help' lists the commands. Backlog follows.`
+2. the **backlog**: the last **4 KB** of console output, oldest first (a ring buffer in RAM, kept while the console is switched on: boot messages included, if it was on at boot);
+3. then **every new line, live**: everything the firmware prints, and ESP-IDF's own log lines, which are copied into the same stream (they still reach the USB port too);
+4. the **replies to your commands**, in the same stream, each preceded by the `> command` line when it runs.
+
+A line `status: heap <free> min <lowest>` appears every 10 seconds in the stream: a free-memory trace you get without asking.
+
+```
+> net
+net: IRC            in          0  out          0
+net: Gemini         in          0  out          0
+net: Debug Console  in       1038  out     205115
+net: Updates        in       4788  out        204
+```
+
+If you are not reading fast enough (a slow link), the device says so in the stream instead of stalling: `[... 312 bytes lost: the console ran faster than the network]`.
+
+## The protocol
+
+It is a plain line protocol, easy to speak from anything. This is what `rdbg.py` does, and all it needs:
+
+| Step | Detail |
+|---|---|
+| Connect | TCP 2323. **One client at a time**: a second one waits until the first leaves |
+| Challenge | The device sends one line: `roro9stack debug console, challenge <32 hex digits>`. Those are 16 random bytes, new each time |
+| Answer | Within **10 seconds**, send the **HMAC-SHA256 of those 16 bytes, keyed by the token**, as 64 hex digits and `\n`. The token is the tidied one: capitals, no dashes |
+| Accepted | The banner line, then the backlog |
+| Refused | After about a second the device sends `denied\n` and hangs up, and prints `debug: refused a client from <ip>` on its own console |
+| Locked | **Five wrong answers in a row** close the console to everyone for 60 seconds: it answers `locked\n` and hangs up, and a Toast on the device names the address they came from |
+| Commands | One line each, up to 240 bytes. The device **queues at most 8**; past that, `debug: busy, command dropped` |
+| Leave | `quit` or `exit` closes the connection |
+| Binary commands | `get`, `put`, `screenshot`, `coredump get`: a text header line, then raw bytes (see [files and screens](/dev/debug/files-and-screens/)) |
+
+**The token never crosses the network.** Someone on the same Wi-Fi who records a login gets a challenge and its answer, which are no use for the next challenge. The comparison on the device takes the same time whatever it is given.
+
+A command that never runs has not been dropped by the network: the main loop is busy or stuck. That is what the next section is about.
+
+## How commands run
+
+{{ diagram(src="debug-console.svg", min_width=580, caption="The console task only queues command lines. The main loop runs them with the same code as USB serial commands. Binary commands are answered by the console task itself, so they work when the main loop is stuck.") }}
+
+- **Text commands run on the main loop**, exactly like serial ones: they touch the Apps and the Services from the one task allowed to. The main loop prints `> command` as it starts, and the reply follows in the stream.
+- **Binary commands run on the console's own task**: `get`, `put`, `screenshot`, `coredump get` and `reset`. A failed `put` closes the connection, so the rest of the file is never read as commands.
+- That split is the point: with the **main loop stuck** (an infinite loop, a deadlock), text commands queue forever, but **`reset` still restarts the device at once**, `coredump get` still reads the dump, and `get` still reads files. A loop stuck for 5 seconds is a panic with a core dump anyway: see [Crashes and Safe Mode](/dev/debug/crashes/).
+- **Card work stays on the storage task**: `ls`, `rm`, `cp` and `install` from the main loop, `get` and `put` from the console task, all as jobs the storage task runs, so the card is only ever touched from one place.
+- Writes to the console **never wait for USB**: a host attached to the USB port but not reading used to stall the main loop for up to two seconds per line.
+
+## Security
+
+- **Off by default.** Nothing listens until the console is switched on at the device, or over USB.
+- The login is a **challenge and an answer**: the token itself is never sent, and five wrong answers close the console for a minute.
+- Anyone on the same network **with the token** can read the console, press keys, copy the SD card's files and restart the device. The console never prints stored secrets (the token, Wi-Fi and IRC passwords), but the IRC traffic it shows is readable.
+- They cannot change the firmware: an update still has to be **signed**.
+- The stream after the login is **plain text**: fine on a home network, not across the internet. Do not forward port 2323.
+
+The decisions are [ADR 0010](/dev/decisions/0010-debug-console-in-every-build/) and, for how the console works inside, [ADR 0004](/dev/decisions/0004-debug-console-in-debug-builds/).
+
+## Without `rdbg.py`
+
+Anything that can open a TCP connection and compute an HMAC works:
+
+```python
+import hashlib, hmac, socket
+token = "K7QF3M2X9WBDHT4P6RNC"                    # tidied: capitals, no dashes
+s = socket.create_connection(("10.39.39.12", 2323))
+challenge = s.makefile().readline().split()[-1]   # "... challenge 0f1e2d..."
+answer = hmac.new(token.encode(), bytes.fromhex(challenge), hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
+s.sendall((answer + "\n").encode())               # then read the banner line
+s.sendall(b"info\n")                              # and what follows, until the stream goes quiet
+```

+++
+
+Rollback (see [How an update works](/dev/build/how-an-update-works/)) protects against **new** firmware that fails Probation. These measures cover firmware that was **confirmed and then crashes**: a corrupt setting, a server that sends something unexpected, a bug that takes an hour to show. They are in every firmware; the Debug Console is what makes them convenient. The decision is [ADR 0005](/dev/decisions/0005-safe-mode-crash-reports-watchdog/).
+
+## What a crash leaves behind
+
+- **A core dump** in a flash partition: ESP-IDF writes it on a panic.
+- **A crash record** in NVS, written first thing at the next boot: which **version** was running (so after a Rollback has switched slots, the firmware still knows which one crashed), and how many starts in a row followed a crash.
+- **A summary on the console** after the restart (task, program counter, reason, backtrace), and a **Notification** on screen.
+
+The `crash` command prints it again whenever you like:
+
+```
+> crash
+crash: last one in v0.9.0-1-g4ab873e-dirty (panic)
+crash: task loopTask, pc 0x4037e179, cause 0, address 0x00000000
+crash: reason: abort() was called at PC 0x421209b3 on core 1
+crash: backtrace 0x4037e179 0x4037e141 0x4038582d 0x421209b3 ...
+crash: elf sha256 3c6a185e5
+```
+
+`coredump erase` forgets the dump.
+
+## Decode it: `rdbg.py crash` and `rdbg.py coredump`
+
+An address is no use without the **exact build** that crashed. Every build archives its ELF in **`.pio/elves/`**, named by version and the first 16 hex digits of its SHA-256 (`scripts/version.py`); the core dump names the crashed firmware by the same digest. So a crash can be decoded **after later builds**, including a build you have since replaced:
+
+```sh
+scripts/rdbg.py crash              # the crash report, with the backtrace turned into functions and source lines
+scripts/rdbg.py coredump           # fetch the whole core dump, then decode it
+scripts/rdbg.py coredump my.bin    # ...to a file you name
+```
+
+- **`crash`** runs the device's `crash`, finds the ELF by digest (or by version), and passes the backtrace to `scripts/decode_backtrace.sh`, which runs `addr2line` from the build container: one line for each frame, with function and file:line.
+- **`coredump`** fetches the raw dump over the console (it works when the main loop is stuck) and runs `scripts/decode_coredump.sh`: `esp-coredump` and GDB, giving **every task's backtrace, the registers, and the crashed task's stack**.
+- By hand: `scripts/decode_backtrace.sh <version|digest> <address>...`, and `scripts/decode_coredump.sh <core.bin> <version|digest>`. Both say which ELF they used.
+- **A release's ELF is fetched for you.** When the crash names a released version (`v0.12.0`) and no local ELF matches, `rdbg.py` downloads `roro9stack-<version>.elf.gz` from the release on Gitea into `.pio/elves/`, so a crash on a firmware you did not build can be decoded. Decoding itself still runs in the build container.
+- If nothing matches, the scripts say so: an unreleased build made on another machine, or `.pio/` was cleaned.
+
+## The main loop is watched
+
+Arduino-ESP32 puts only core 0's idle task on the task watchdog, and the main loop runs on core 1: a stuck loop used to hang the device for good, with a frozen screen and a console that could not run commands. Now **a loop stuck for 5 seconds is a panic**, with a core dump, counted towards Safe Mode. The rule that follows: **nothing in the main loop may block for 5 seconds.** Network and card work already run on their own tasks.
+
+An installed update no longer depends on the main loop either: the Update Service restarts into it by itself after 90 seconds.
+
+## Safe Mode
+
+The count of starts that follow a crash (a panic or the watchdog) is kept in NVS. After **three in a row**, the firmware starts **Safe Mode** instead of everything else:
+
+- only the **clock, Wi-Fi, the Update Service and, if it is switched on, the Debug Console** start: no Apps, no IRC, no SD card;
+- the screen says so, with the **address to push an update to**;
+- only a few commands run (the [command reference](/dev/debug/commands/) lists them); anything else answers `not available in Safe Mode`.
+
+Any **normal restart** (`reboot`, an update) or **a minute of uptime** resets the count. So Safe Mode is reached by crashing three times *quickly*, and a crash loop costs about half a minute before the device becomes reachable. To leave it: push a fix (`scripts/flash.sh --ota`), or `reboot`. Over USB, `debug on` works in Safe Mode too, if the console was off.
+
+**Its limit:** if Wi-Fi or the Update Service is what crashes, Safe Mode cannot help, and it takes USB.
+
+## Crash on purpose
+
+```
+crash abort      # abort(): a panic with a core dump
+crash wdt        # hang the main loop until the task watchdog fires
+```
+
+Use them to see a real report and decode it, to check that **the counter reaches Safe Mode**, and to prove that a build you are about to rely on will survive its own crashes. The device restarts by itself after either, and the report is there to read when the console comes back.

+1. **A name `key` does not know is `select`.** `key sleect` presses Enter. A single character is typed as that character; anything else that is not a known name is treated as Enter. Check what you type.
+2. **A key that wakes a dark screen only wakes it.** The device's power policy swallows the key press that turns the screen back on, as it does for the real keyboard: the first `key` after the screen went off does nothing else. Send `key back` (harmless) first, or keep the screen on with the `normal` and `short` commands below.
+
+`Fn` combinations, modifiers and the compose key have no command: the arrows are `key up|down|left|right`, and `key back` is the back key (`` ` `` on the device). Text is typed one character at a time.
+
+## Look before you press
+
+**Take a screenshot before any key that deletes, renames or installs.** A blind sequence of `key` commands goes wrong the moment the screen is not where you think it is, and the screen is often not where you think it is: a Toast, a dialog that has not closed, a different App. A sequence that was meant to open a note once renamed real data instead.
+
+```sh
+scripts/rdbg.py key home          # to the Launcher
+scripts/rdbg.py screenshot a.png  # look: is it the Launcher?
+scripts/rdbg.py key down
+scripts/rdbg.py key select
+scripts/rdbg.py screenshot b.png  # look again before the next destructive step
+```
+
+- Prefer **reading a state** to assuming it: `info`, `ls <folder>`, `cat <file>`, `irc dump`, `gnss status`, `lora status`, `wifi status`, `update status`.
+- Test on a **scratch folder** on the card, not on your real files.
+- For anything that deletes (`rm`, a delete dialog), `ls` first and `ls` after.
+
+## Keep the screen on, and make timeouts short
+
+```
+short     # screen dims after 5 s, turns off after 10 s: to test the screen policy
+normal    # back to 30 s and 60 s
+burst     # five Toasts at once: to test notifications
+sound on | sound off
+```
+
+## Fake the inputs
+
+Each of these puts something in, **without** the outside world:
+
+| Command | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `lora inject <hex> [rssi] [snr]` | A packet into the LoRa Scanner as if the radio had received it. Nothing is sent |
+| `irc say <buffer> <text>` | Types into an IRC buffer, commands included: `irc say 0 /join #test` |
+| `log <text>` | Adds a line to a test IRC log |
+| `gnss send <sentence>` | Sends an NMEA sentence **to** the GNSS receiver (the checksum is added), to configure it |
+| `gemini get <url>` | Fetches a page and reports header, size, certificate and heap use, without the App |
+| `gemini trust <host> <port> <sha256>` | Pins a certificate by hand |
+| `sd fill <folder> <count>` | Makes that many small files in a folder, to test a crowded one (the Storage App shows the first 256) |
+| `wifi add <ssid><TAB><password>` | Adds a Saved Network, so credentials stay out of the repository |
+
+## Test the update path
+
+An update that goes wrong is the case you most want to rehearse, and the firmware can make it go wrong **on purpose**:
+
+```
+update status                       # what the device runs, what failed here before, the daily check, heap
+update check | update list          # look at the server: the latest release, or the last ten
+update pretend v0.9.0               # take the running version to be v0.9.0: the latest release now counts as "new"
+update damage cut 50000             # the next download is cut after 50000 bytes
+update damage flip 100000           # ...or has the byte at offset 100000 damaged
+update install v0.11.0              # try the install
+update probe git.twis.la            # is that server's certificate accepted? (the two ISRG roots only)
+update daily                        # forget today's daily check: it runs again at the next tick
+update pretend off                  # back to the real version
+```
+
+- **A damaged download must be refused cleanly:** the Update Service checks the signature after the first 160 bytes and the image hash at the end, so a cut or a flipped byte must end in a refusal with **nothing switched**. Check `info` afterwards: both slots, and `update: confirmed`.
+- **An undamaged install really installs** the release, into the other slot, and the device restarts into it. Your build stays in the slot it was in until the next update overwrites it, and the console's setting and token are untouched: the release has the console too.
+- The server is read by the device itself, with Wi-Fi up; the download is one TLS connection, about 52 KB of heap at its peak, so IRC steps aside (see [the memory limit](/howto/not-enough-memory/)). `status: heap` in the stream shows it happen.
+
+For crashes during Probation, see [Crashes and Safe Mode](/dev/debug/crashes/).
+
+## Test a network change without losing the console
+
+The Debug Console runs over the Wi-Fi you are about to change, which is the usual way to lock yourself out. A **trial IP setting** takes care of it:
+
+```
+wifi ip MyNet 10.39.39.50/24 10.39.39.1 try 60     # use this address for 60 s...
+wifi ip keep                                       # ...and keep it, if you could still reach the device
+```
+
+If you do not send `wifi ip keep` in time, the device goes back to the **previous** setting by itself, and the console comes back with it. 
+
+## Measure
+
+```
+info       # firmware, uptime, last start reason, heap now/lowest/largest block, chip temperature, Wi-Fi, SD faults, both app slots
+tasks      # each task over the next second: state, priority, least free stack, CPU share; each core's load; main-loop passes
+net        # bytes each network service has read and written since start
+```
+
+`tasks` takes a second to answer. A low number in the `stack` column is a risk (the System App shows it in the warning colour under 512 bytes). `loop spin on|off` makes the main loop spin without resting, to compare load and radio noise. And the `status: heap` line every 10 seconds in the stream is the cheapest memory trace there is: watch it while you do the thing you suspect.
+
+```
+task             st   pri  stack   cpu% core
+loopTask         R      1   1828    1.3 1

+...
+load: core 0 2 %, core 1 1 %
+loop: 50 passes in the last second, chip 35.3 C
+```
+
+The [System App](/guide/system/) shows the same, live, on the device.
+
+## Radio experiments
+
+`lora preset <name>` and `lora custom <MHz> <BW kHz> <SF> <CR> <sync hex> [preamble]` change what the receiver listens to (receive only: the radio never transmits), `lora sweep on [from] [to] [step]` takes a survey, and `lora noise test [gnss|quiet]` runs a Sweep under one changed condition at a time, with Wi-Fi off for a moment, to find what raises the noise floor. `lora probe` finds the radio and reports its chip, oscillator, antenna switch, interrupt line and noise floor.

+
+These are the **binary commands**: a text header line, then raw bytes. The console task answers them itself, so they keep working when the main loop is stuck. `scripts/rdbg.py` handles each one on the PC side; the protocol is given too, for your own tools.
+
+## `get`: card to PC
+
+```sh
+scripts/rdbg.py get /gnss/tracks/20261004-142530.gpx          # saved here, under its own name
+scripts/rdbg.py get /captures/lora/capture.pcap my-capture.pcap
+```
+
+The device answers `get: data <size>`, then exactly `<size>` bytes, then `get: end`. A path it cannot open (missing, or a folder) gives `get: error cannot open <path>`. The script prints the size and the speed.
+
+## `put`: PC to card
+
+```sh
+scripts/rdbg.py put roro9stack-v0.12.0.ota                     # to /updates/roro9stack-v0.12.0.ota
+scripts/rdbg.py put notes.txt /notes/from-the-pc.txt           # to a path you choose
+```
+
+The default destination is `/updates/<name>`, so this is also the way to **install an update from the SD card without touching the device**: `put` the `.ota` file, then `scripts/rdbg.py install /updates/<name>`.
+
+The device does a few things you want from a file transfer:
+
+- the PC sends the **size and the SHA-256** first (`put <path> <size> <sha256>`); the device answers `put: ready <size>` or `put: error <why>` (no card, **not enough space**: it wants the size plus 64 KB free, or a path or size it refuses);
+- it writes to a **temporary `.part` file**, creating missing folders, and only **renames it into place after the whole file has been read back from the card and its SHA-256 matches**: the checksum covers what is on the card, not what arrived;
+- a write the card refuses is **retried up to 3 times**, cutting the file back to the last good byte, and gives up rather than leave a hole in the middle;
+- it ends with `put: done <path> <size> B`, or `put: error <why>` and **a closed connection** (so the rest of the file is never read as commands). A failed transfer leaves nothing on the card.
+
+Speed is about 300 KB/s. The same transfer exists over USB serial, for a device with no Wi-Fi: `scripts/sd_put.sh <file> [card path]` (about 30 seconds for 1.6 MB, with the card left in).
+
+## `screenshot`: the screen as a PNG
+
+```sh
+scripts/rdbg.py screenshot ui.png     # 480x270: the 240x135 screen at 2x
+```
+
+The device sends `screenshot: rgb332 <width> <height>` and then **one byte per pixel**: the frame the UI composed off-screen, in RGB332 (RRRGGGBB), the way M5GFX stores an 8-bit sprite. The script expands it and doubles it into a PNG.
+
+- It is read **as it stands**, while the UI may be drawing, so it can **tear**. It is for looking at, not for pixel-exact comparison.
+- It is the real thing: the screenshots on this site, in the [user guide](/guide/) and the [devlog](/devlog/), were taken this way.
+- Its main use is in a loop: send a key, wait a moment, take a screenshot, look. See [Drive the UI](/dev/debug/drive-the-ui/).
+
+## `coredump get`: the crash dump
+
+The raw contents of the core dump partition: `coredump: data <size>`, the bytes, `coredump: end`, or `coredump: none`. `scripts/rdbg.py coredump` fetches and decodes it in one go: see [Crashes and Safe Mode](/dev/debug/crashes/).
+
+## `reset`: restart now
+
+```sh
+scripts/rdbg.py reset
+```
+
+The console prints `debug: restarting now` and restarts the chip after a moment. It does not go through the main loop, so it works when the loop is stuck. (The text command `reboot` does go through the main loop: a clean restart. `boot other` restarts into the other app slot: a manual rollback.)

+weight = 1
+[extra]
+tag = "Start here"
+++
+
+## One firmware
+
+There is no special build. **Every roro9stack firmware has the Debug Console**, the same one, and the commands made for testing (crash on purpose, fake an installed version, damage a download, inject a LoRa packet). It is **off** until its owner switches it on.
+
+**Off means nothing is there:** no socket listens, the console's task does not exist, and neither does its 4 KB buffer. A device that never uses it pays 30 KB of flash and 88 bytes of memory.
+
+Before version 0.12 this was a separate *Debug Build* with a token compiled in from the builder's machine, which is why it could not be published. [ADR 0010](/dev/decisions/0010-debug-console-in-every-build/) says why that changed.
+
+## On the device
+
+**Settings → Debug Console:**
+
+| Row | Does |
+|---|---|
+| **Debug Console** | The switch. Switching it **on** asks first (the question opens on *Cancel*: move to *Switch on*), and makes a token if there is none |
+| **Connect to** | The address and port: `10.39.39.12:2323` |
+| **New token** | Makes another one. The old one stops working, and whoever is connected is cut off |
+| **Type a token** | One of your own, of 16 to 64 characters |
+
+Under the rows, the **token**, in large type on two lines, in groups of four: `K7QF-3M2X-9WBD-HT4P-6RNC`. This page is the only place it is ever shown. The Status Bar shows **`DBG`** while the console listens, and brighter while someone is connected.
+
+The setting **stays** across restarts and updates, and in Safe Mode.
+
+## The token
+
+- **The device makes it,** from its hardware random generator, the first time the console is switched on: 100 bits, written as 20 characters without the letters that get misread (no I, L, O or U).
+- **Dashes and case do not count,** and an `O`, `I` or `L` is taken for the `0` or `1` it was. Type it as you read it.
+- **One you type** must have at least 16 characters. A short one would be the weakest part of the whole thing.
+- It is **never printed** on a console, and it **never crosses the network** ([the Debug Console](/dev/debug/console/) says how).
+- It guards against **the network**, not against someone who holds the device: anyone with USB access can flash anything anyway ([ADR 0003](/dev/decisions/0003-own-signature-check-not-secure-boot/)).
+
+## Give `rdbg.py` the token
+
+`scripts/rdbg.py` looks for it in this order:
+
+```sh
+scripts/rdbg.py -t K7QF-3M2X-9WBD-HT4P-6RNC info     # 1. on the command line (also --token)
+RORO_DEBUG_TOKEN=K7QF-3M2X-9WBD-HT4P-6RNC scripts/rdbg.py info   # 2. in the environment
+echo K7QF-3M2X-9WBD-HT4P-6RNC > ~/.config/roro9stack/debug-token # 3. in a file, for the device you use every day
+```
+
+## Without typing: over USB
+
+With the device on a cable, the console can be set up from the PC:
+
+```sh
+scripts/flash.sh --debug        # flashes over USB, then switches the console on and gives it your token
+```
+
+It sends two commands over the serial port, which you can also type there yourself:
+
+```
+debug on                 # switch it on (a token is made if there is none)
+debug token <value>      # give it this token: 16 to 64 characters
+debug token new          # make a new one
+debug status             # on or off, token set or not, a client or not (the token itself is never shown)
+debug off                # switch it off
+debug off 30             # ...for 30 seconds: it comes back by itself
+```
+
+`debug on` and `debug token` work **over USB serial only**: the console cannot be used to open itself wider. `debug status` and `debug off` work from anywhere, and a screenshot taken over the console while this page is open shows the token, to someone who already had it. Your token file is made by the first build (`scripts/_docker.sh`), 32 hex digits, and is never committed.
+
+Since the setting survives updates, this is needed **once for a device**, not at each flash. Later builds go over Wi-Fi with `scripts/flash.sh --ota`.
+
+## Should it be on?
+
+On your own network, on a device you are working on: yes, that is what it is for. Remember what it gives to whoever has the token **and** is on the same network: the console, the keys, the files on the SD card, a restart. It does not give them the firmware: an update still has to be signed.
+
+On a network you share with strangers, switch it off, or at least know that what the console prints is not encrypted. The token is safe there; the conversation is not.

With the override, an image stays pending until Probation confirms it, and the bootloader reverts one that restarts unconfirmed, however early it crashes.

+**Superseded in part by [ADR 0010](/dev/decisions/0010-debug-console-in-every-build/) (2026-10-06):** there is no Debug Build any more. The console is in every firmware, off until switched on, and its token belongs to the device, not to the build. What this record says about how the console works (the ring, commands on the main loop, binary commands on its own task, one client) still holds.
+
+The goal of Firmware Updates is to manage the device without a cable, and that includes finding out what went wrong. So a **Debug Build** (`cardputer-adv-debug`, `-DRORO_DEBUG`, version suffix `+debug`) adds a **Debug Console** on TCP 2323: the serial console, over Wi-Fi. A client sends a token as its first line, then gets the last 4 KB of console output (boot messages included), every new line live, and runs the same commands as the serial port, plus a few that only make sense remotely. ESP-IDF's own log lines are teed into it.
+
+It's compiled out of release builds entirely, rather than switched off by a setting. A console that runs commands is a remote control: in a release build, nothing listens.
+
+## How it fits
+
+- **Console, not Serial.** All human-readable output goes through `console`, which writes to the USB port and, in a Debug Build, to a ring buffer the Debug Console drains. Writes never wait for USB: a host that's attached but not reading used to stall the main loop for up to 2 s per line.
+- **Commands run on the main loop.** The socket lives on the Debug Console's own task, which only queues command lines. The main loop runs them, as it does serial commands, so they touch Apps and Services from the one task allowed to.
+- **The token** is 128 random bits in `~/.config/roro9stack/debug-token`, made by the first build and passed into the container. It's never committed; a Debug Build refuses to compile without one. Like the OTA key, it guards against the network, not against someone holding the device.
+- **One client at a time**, to keep memory flat (4 KB for the ring since M2, 6 KB of task stack).
+- **Binary commands are answered on the console's own task**, not queued: `get`/`put` (SD card files, run as one Storage Service job each so card access stays on the storage task, with TCP doing the flow control), `screenshot` (the 32 KB RGB332 frame the UI composes into, read as it stands, so it may tear), `coredump get` and `reset`. These keep working when the main loop is stuck. A failed `put` closes the connection, so the rest of the file is never read as commands.
+
+## Keep a Debug Build in the fallback slot
+
+Rollback returns to the previous firmware, whatever it is. As long as development goes through Debug Builds, the firmware a crash falls back to has the Debug Console, so a bad update never costs remote access. A release build pushed over a Debug Build leaves the Debug Build in the other slot until the next update overwrites it.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Anyone on the same network with the token can read the console, inject keys and reboot the device. The console never prints stored secrets (Wi-Fi and IRC passwords), but the IRC traffic it shows is readable.
+- The TCP stream is plain text: fine on a home network, not across the internet.
+- `+debug` versions compare equal to their release counterparts, so moving between the two is never refused as a downgrade.

+Rollback protects against new firmware that fails Probation. It does nothing for firmware that was confirmed and crashes later: a corrupt setting, a server that sends something unexpected, a bug that takes an hour to show. Without a cable, such a device would restart forever. Three measures, in every build, keep it reachable:
+
+- **Safe Mode.** The firmware counts starts that follow a crash (panic or watchdog) in NVS, first thing at boot. After 3 in a row, it starts only the clock, Wi-Fi, the Update Service and, if it's switched on, the Debug Console: no Apps, no IRC, no SD card, and a screen that says so with the address to push an update to. Any normal restart (a `reboot`, an update), or a minute of uptime, resets the count.
+- **Crash reports.** The same boot record keeps which version was running, so after a crash the firmware knows which one crashed, even when a Rollback has switched slots since. ESP-IDF already writes a core dump to its flash partition on a panic; after the restart the firmware prints its summary (task, PC, reason, backtrace) and raises a Notification. The `crash` command shows it again later. With the Debug Console, `scripts/rdbg.py crash` decodes the backtrace and `scripts/rdbg.py coredump` fetches the whole dump for `esp-coredump`, against the ELF of that exact build (`.pio/elves/`, named by version and ELF digest).
+- **The main loop is watched.** Arduino-ESP32 subscribes only core 0's idle task to the task watchdog, and the main loop runs on core 1: a stuck loop used to hang the device for good, with the screen frozen and the Debug Console unable to run commands. `enableLoopWDT()` makes a loop stuck for 5 s a panic, with a core dump, counted towards Safe Mode. And an installed update no longer depends on the main loop: the Update Service restarts into it by itself after 90 s.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Nothing in the main loop may block for 5 s. Network and card work already run on their own tasks.
+- Safe Mode can't help when Wi-Fi or the Update Service itself is what crashes; that still needs USB.
+- Three crashes within a minute of each restart are needed to reach Safe Mode, so a crash loop costs about half a minute before the device becomes reachable.

+Arduino-ESP32 ships its ESP-IDF libraries prebuilt, with one `sdkconfig` for every ESP32-S3 board. Its TLS settings give every connection a 16 KB receive buffer and a 16 KB send buffer for its whole life. On a device with no PSRAM and about 340 KB of RAM, an IRC connection over TLS left a 12.6 KB low in M2, against a 40 KB floor.
+
+Those settings are compiled into the libraries, so changing them means rebuilding them. pioarduino supports this as a "hybrid compile": `custom_sdkconfig` in `platformio.ini` lists the settings, and the build regenerates the framework's libraries from ESP-IDF (the same 5.5.5 the prebuilt ones come from) before building the app. We set:
+
+- `MBEDTLS_ASYMMETRIC_CONTENT_LEN`, with 16 KB to receive (servers send full TLS records) and **4 KB to send** (IRC lines are short): 12 KB less per connection.
+- `MBEDTLS_DYNAMIC_BUFFER`, `DYNAMIC_FREE_CONFIG_DATA`, `DYNAMIC_FREE_CA_CERT`: buffers allocated when needed, and handshake-only data (the CA chain) freed once connected.
+
+The rebuild also follows the board definition instead of the generic one: PSRAM support is off (the Cardputer ADV has none) and the flash size is 8 MB.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- With IRC connected over TLS, a Debug Build has 78 KB free and a 59 KB low (it was 31 KB and 12.6 KB), and 46 KB at the lowest under the heaviest combined load measured (IRC, two refused installs, a 1.6 MB put and get).
+- The first build after a fresh checkout, or after changing `custom_sdkconfig`, takes about 4 minutes instead of 45 s: it downloads ESP-IDF into the PlatformIO volume and compiles it. Later builds reuse it.
+- Everything the firmware depends on was checked in the regenerated `sdkconfig`: app rollback, core dumps to flash (ELF), the 5 s task watchdog, FreeRTOS run-time stats, the certificate bundle.
+- The project now owns its partition table (`default_8MB.csv`, identical to the framework's), which the hybrid build requires. Changing it would break updates over the air: the app slots must stay where they are.
+- Generated files (`sdkconfig.*`, `managed_components/`, `.dummy/`) are ignored by git.
+- A TLS server that sends records over 16 KB would still fail, as before; one that needs us to send records over 4 KB would now fail. Neither happens with IRC.

+Arduino-ESP32's `SD` library talks to the card over SPI through `sd_diskio.cpp`. That driver gives up on a write without saying why, and about once in 1,500 multi-block writes it gave up on one that had worked (issue #21). A 1.7 MB upload failed about three times in ten; before M3, the retry on top of it then filled the gap with zeros.
+
+The cause, measured with a driver that records where it stops: after the "Stop Tran" token that ends a multi-block write, a card takes about a byte of clock to signal busy. The driver deselects, selects again, and reads one byte to see whether the card is ready. Read too early, that byte is 0xFF, "ready"; the status check (CMD13) then goes out while the card is still programming, and its answer (0xFF, 0x1F) is taken for an error. Every failure seen was this one: all blocks accepted, then a status that isn't one. ChaN's reference driver, which FatFs ships as its example, sends a dummy byte after selecting the card for this reason. Arduino's doesn't.
+
+PlatformIO links the framework's library objects directly, so one file can't be replaced from `src`. A project library with the same name takes its place: **`lib/SD` is Arduino-ESP32 3.3.12's SD library (Apache-2.0), with `sd_diskio.cpp` changed** and the other files as they came. The changes are marked `roro:`:
+
+- A dummy byte after selecting the card, before the ready test, and one after Stop Tran.
+- Each place a write gives up records the step and the card's answer (`sd_fault.h`): `info` shows the count, and the Debug Console's `put` prints the detail.
+
+Halving the SPI clock to 10 MHz didn't change the failure rate, so the card stays at 20 MHz.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- 30 uploads of 1.7 MB in a row, each read back and compared by SHA-256, ten of them with the LoRa radio listening on the same bus: no write fault. Before: 3 failures in 10.
+- Every writer gains: Logs, Tracks, Gemini pages, Saved Pages, Captures and Update Files installed from the card all go through this driver, and none of them checked.
+- **The copy has to follow the framework.** When the platform is updated, compare `lib/SD` with the new `libraries/SD` and carry the `roro:` changes over. If upstream fixes the ready test, drop the copy. Reported as [arduino-esp32#12970](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/12970); issue #39 follows it.
+- One more defect was read in the code and left alone, because nothing here exercises it: the driver tests the card's answer to a data block against 0x0A and 0x0C, values it can't take (accepted is 0x05, CRC error 0x0B, write error 0x0D), so a block rejected for a CRC error is never resent. No such rejection was seen in any failure. If `DataToken` faults ever show in `info`, that's the next fix.
+- A fault is now counted and explained instead of silent, so the next cause, if there is one, starts with evidence.

+A tag `v*` is built, signed and published by Gitea Actions with nobody at a keyboard. The signing key of ADR 0003 is therefore held twice: in `~/.config/roro9stack/ota-key.pem` on the development machine, as before, and as the repository secret `OTA_SIGNING_KEY`, which the release step writes to a file for as long as it runs.
+
+We chose this over signing by hand after CI has built (a command per release, the key in one place), and over a second key for CI that the firmware would also trust. A release that needs a manual step isn't made on the day it's ready, and issue #6, the device installing releases by itself, needs releases that are always there and always signed.
+
+## What it costs
+
+- **Whoever can run a workflow in this repository can sign firmware every device accepts.** That means: anyone who can push to it, the runner's host and whoever administers it, and the Gitea instance with its database, where the secret is stored. Before, it took the development machine.
+- The runner executes jobs **on its own host**, not in a container, as a user who can use Docker. A workflow is not confined.
+- Pull requests from forks must never run with this secret. Gitea doesn't pass secrets to them; the workflow also only runs on pushes and by hand.
+
+## What limits it
+
+- The release step checks the signed file against the public key in the sources it built (`scripts/ota_verify.py`): a wrong or replaced secret stops the release instead of publishing a file no device takes.
+- ADR 0003's way out stays: a firmware release can carry a new public key. If the secret is ever in doubt, make a new pair, ship it in a release signed with the old key, and replace the secret.
+- A device still only installs what it's told to (until #6), keeps a new image on Probation, and rolls back one that doesn't hold.

+The firmware talks to the project's Gitea over HTTPS (issue #6, and #4 after it). A TLS client has to decide whose certificates it believes. Three ways were possible:
+
+- **The framework's bundle**, about 130 certificate authorities (about 60 KB of flash). Any of them could vouch for `git.twis.la`.
+- **Pin the server's certificate**, as the Gemini App does for capsules. The server's certificate is replaced every few months, so a pin would ask the question again at every renewal.
+- **Carry the roots the server's chain ends in:** `ISRG Root X1` (RSA 4096) and `ISRG Root X2` (ECDSA P-384), the Let's Encrypt roots, about 2.7 KB of flash (`src/platform/ca_roots.h`).
+
+We chose the third. The chain and the name are checked by mbedTLS during the handshake. It trusts one organisation's two roots, valid until 2035 and 2040, and a renewal changes nothing.
+
+## What it costs
+
+- **If the server moves to another CA, the device can no longer reach it**, and the next firmware, carrying that CA's root, has to come from the PC or the SD card. Both still work; they don't use TLS.
+- The roots are public data checked against the published fingerprints (listed in the file), refreshed by hand if Let's Encrypt ever changes them.
+
+## What it doesn't change
+
+The Update File's own signature (ADR 0003) is what decides what gets installed. A hijacked connection could hide a release, or serve an older signed one, but never make the device install firmware that isn't ours. The TLS check matters more for #4, where a token will travel over it.
+
+## Measured while building it
+
+A TLS connection to this server peaks at about 52 KB of heap, **the same whether the certificate is checked or not**, so skipping the check would have saved nothing. The cost is the connection itself (record buffers and handshake), not the trust decision.

+There is **one firmware**. The Debug Console of ADR 0004 is compiled into it, and so are the commands that used to exist only in Debug Builds. It listens only while **Settings → Debug Console** is on, which is not the default, and it lets in whoever proves they hold **the device's own token**. The `cardputer-adv-debug` environment, `RORO_DEBUG`, the `+debug` version and the token compiled in from the builder's machine are gone.
+
+ADR 0004 kept the console out of release builds with one argument: a console that runs commands is a remote control, so in a release nothing should listen. That argument was never whole: the Update Service has listened on TCP 3232 in every build since Firmware Updates exist, guarded by a signature. A listener that is off by default and guarded by a secret the device made itself is the same kind of trade, and what the split cost had grown:
+
+- **What was tested wasn't what shipped.** Development ran on Debug Builds; releases were a different binary, built to be published and never run by the person who wrote them.
+- **Debug Builds couldn't be published**, since each carried its builder's token. So the console, `rdbg.py`, screenshots and crash decoding were for whoever built the firmware, and nobody else.
+- **Rules that existed only to protect the console:** a Debug Build never installed a release (it would have lost the console), `update install … force` to do it anyway, "keep a Debug Build in the fallback slot", versions with `+debug` that had to compare equal to their release.
+- **CI built two firmwares** on every pull request and every tag.
+
+## How it works
+
+- **Off means nothing is there.** With the setting off, no socket listens, the console's task doesn't exist and neither does its 4 KB ring: a device that never uses the console pays for it in flash (30 KB more than the release build was) and 88 bytes of static RAM, measured. A missing or invalid stored setting counts as off.
+- **The token is the device's.** The first time the console is switched on, the device makes one from its hardware random generator: 100 bits, as 20 characters of Crockford's base32 (`K7QF-3M2X-9WBD-HT4P-6RNC`), shown on the Debug Console page and nowhere else. It can be replaced by one typed by hand, of 16 to 64 characters. It is stored with the other settings and is never printed on a console.
+- **The token never crosses the network.** The device sends 16 random bytes; the client answers with their HMAC-SHA256 keyed by the token. Someone on the same Wi-Fi who records a login has nothing they can use for the next one.
+- **Five wrong answers in a row** close the console to everyone for a minute, with a Notification naming the address they came from. A wrong answer still costs a second.
+- **`DBG` in the Status Bar** while the console listens, bright while a client is connected.
+- **USB serial can set it up:** `debug on`, `debug token <value>`, `debug token new`. `scripts/flash.sh --debug` uses them to give a freshly flashed device the developer's token. Whoever holds the cable can flash anything anyway (ADR 0003); the console itself can only switch itself off.
+- **Safe Mode** starts the console if it's switched on: the settings are read before Safe Mode is decided.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **"Nothing listens" now rests on one stored setting**, not on absent code. That setting is typed, validated and host-tested, and its default is off; a bug that flipped it would have to come from code that already runs on the device.
+- **Whoever has the token and the network has the device:** the console, its keys, the SD card's files, a restart. Not its firmware: an update still has to be signed (ADR 0003).
+- **The stream is still plain text.** The token is safe from an eavesdropper; what the console prints, and the files it carries, are not. TLS would cost about 52 KB of the 107 KB there is, next to IRC's own connection: not for a console.
+- **An old `rdbg.py` can't talk to a new firmware**, and the reverse: the first line of the protocol changed. Accepted, with one user.
+- **A device whose settings are damaged has no console in Safe Mode**, only the signed update push. Before, a Debug Build always had it.
+- **The commands that crash, damage a download or fill a folder on purpose** are in every build. They need the cable or the token, like everything else.
+- **Releases already publish their ELF**, so `rdbg.py crash` fetches it when it isn't in `.pio/elves/`: crash reports can be decoded without having built the firmware.

+## The Storage App (issue #3)
+
+Until now the card could be looked at only through the Debug Console (`ls`, `get`, `put`), and Settings > Storage could only delete whole categories by age.
+
+**On the card today:** six top-level folders, `irc`, `wifi`, `updates`, `gnss`, `gemini` and `captures`. No `notes` yet; settings are in flash, not on the card.
+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q128 | An App of its own, **Storage**, in the Launcher. **Settings > Storage goes away:** its usage figures, Storage Clean-up and "Erase SD card" move into the App, under **Maintenance**, behind a warning that these delete things for good. |
+| Q129 | A row shows the name, then the size or "folder", then the date modified. Folders first, then by name; `s` cycles the sort (name, date, size). The top line shows the path and the card's free space. |
+| Q130 | Nothing is hidden. **Read-only:** `/gemini/cache`; any file the firmware has open right now (today's IRC log, a Track or Capture being recorded, a file being received); and the top-level folders themselves, which can't be renamed or deleted though their contents can. **Everything else, the user's own data included, can be renamed, moved or deleted**, always after a confirmation. |
+| Q131 | One item at a time, with a clipboard: Enter opens; Back goes up, and leaves the App at the top; `c` copy, `x` cut, `v` paste into the current folder; `r` rename; `d` delete; `n` new folder; `i` details. |
+| Q132 | Copy, move and delete work on folders too, recursively. The confirmation says what's inside: "Delete *saved* and its 42 files?". |
+| Q133 | A copy is a job on the storage task in 4 KB pieces, with a progress Toast; Back cancels it. It checks free space first and asks before replacing anything. **Afterwards the sizes are compared**, not the contents: the driver is trusted since v0.6.1 (ADR 0007). A move within the card is a rename. |
+| Q134 | Viewers by type. **Text** (`.txt`, `.log`, `.gmi`, `.csv`, `.gpx`, and anything that looks like text): read from the card as you scroll, so size doesn't matter; logs open at the end. **`.pcap`:** the LoRa Scanner's packet list. **`.gpx`:** a summary (start, duration, points, distance), Tab for the text. **`.ota`:** version, size, whether the signature is valid; Enter installs through Update from SD. **Anything else:** a hex dump. |
+| Q135 | No editing: that comes with Notes (#19). |
+| Q136 | A listing holds **up to 256 entries**, packed, about 10 KB; a bigger folder shows the first 256 by name and says how many more there are. The App refuses to open below the memory floors (Q86). |
+| Q137 | **The Clock also sets the system time**, so files are dated correctly with GNSS alone and not only after NTP. A file dated before 2020 shows "-". |
+| Q138 | Console: `cp`, `mv` and `mkdir`, next to `ls` and `rm`. |
+| Q139 | Left out, each with its issue: selecting several items (#41), finding files by name (#42), opening a `.gmi` in the Gemini App (#43), a table view for `.csv` (#44), images (#45). |
+| Q140 | Ships as **v0.9.0** when done and checked. |
+
+### Done when
+
+- The Storage App lists any folder of the card with sizes and dates, sorted three ways, and says so when a folder has more than 256 entries.
+- A file can be copied, moved, renamed and deleted, and a folder too; a new folder can be made. Each destructive action asks first; a copy shows progress and can be cancelled.
+- The read-only rules of Q130 hold, with a reason given when something is refused.
+- Each viewer of Q134 opens its type, and a 1 MB text file scrolls without loading whole.
+- Maintenance shows the card's usage and does what Settings > Storage did, behind its warning; Settings no longer has a Storage row; the Storage Warning points at the Storage App.
+- A file written with only a GNSS Fix (no Wi-Fi) is dated correctly.
+- Free heap stays above the floors with the App open, Wi-Fi and IRC on TLS.
+
+### Work breakdown
+
+1. **Model** (host-tested): paths and names, the read-only rules, the packed listing and its sorts, file types, sizes and dates for display, the GPX summary.
+2. **Card operations:** listing a folder, copy, move, delete (recursive, counted), new folder, as storage jobs with progress and cancel; `cp`, `mv`, `mkdir`; the Clock sets the system time.
+3. **The App:** browsing, the clipboard, dialogs, details.
+4. **Maintenance:** usage, Clean-up and Erase moved in from Settings, with the warning.
+5. **Viewers:** text, hex, `.pcap`, `.gpx`, `.ota`.
+6. **Checks on the device**, recorded here.
+
+### As built
+
+- **`FileOps`** (`src/services/file_ops`) does the card's work for the App and for the console alike: list, count, copy, move, delete, new folder. One operation at a time on the storage task, **in turns of about 150 ms** that queue themselves again, so Log lines and a Capture are written in between. The rules of Q130 are checked there, whoever asks.
+- **A listing reads the folder straight from FatFs.** Through the Arduino `File`, every entry was looked up by name again for its size and again for its date: 329 entries took over two seconds. One pass now, and it's there before the screen has redrawn. Counting, copying and deleting still walk with `File`; they show progress and can be stopped.
+- **A copy shows its progress in a box in the App**, not a Toast (Q133): it has a bar and says Back cancels. A cancelled or failed copy deletes what it had written. The copy gets today's date, like `cp`.
+- **The viewers** (`src/apps/file_viewer`, models in `lib/files`): text through `TextPager`, which reads about a kilobyte around the screen and wraps at spaces, 38 columns; going back a line wraps the paragraph before again, so a file reads the same in both directions. A `.pcap`, a `.gpx` and an `.ota` are read through once by a storage job, in the same 150 ms turns. An Update File is fed to the installer's own parser with a sink that writes nothing, so "would it install" is the same answer an install gives.
+- **Tab** in a viewer shows the same file as hex, or as text (not in Q134).
+- **Maintenance** is the last row at the top of the card, and `m` anywhere in the App. It's the old Settings > Storage page behind a dialog.
+- **The Storage Warning** was only ever a Toast; "selecting it opens Storage Clean-up" (CONTEXT.md) was never built. It now reads "SD card over 80% full: see Storage".
+- **Console:** `cp`, `mv`, `mkdir` (Q138), and `rm` and `du` through the same code, so `rm` now takes folders and follows the rules; `ls` shows dates. Debug Builds: `sd fill <folder> <count>` makes test files.
+
+### Checks on the device (2026-10-06, v0.8.1-2 Debug Build)
+
+All in a scratch folder, `/f1test`, removed afterwards.
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Host tests | 424 pass (411 before the viewers' models) |
+| Browsing | Folders first, sizes and dates, the three sorts; a 300-file and a 329-file folder show "first 256 of 300" and "of 329" |
+| New folder, rename, copy, cut and paste, delete | Each works on a file and on a folder; a copy next to its original is named `(2)`; a name in the way asks "Replace it?" |
+| A folder of 11 files, 8.4 MB, copied | 19.4 s, 435 KB/s, the bar moving; two Log lines queued meanwhile were written |
+| The same copy cancelled at 1.8 MB | "Cancelled: nothing was copied", and nothing was left behind |
+| Delete | 341 files in 9.7 s; the dialog had counted them first |
+| Read-only rules | `/irc`, `/gnss` (top-level folders), `/`, `/gemini/cache` and a folder made inside it, a folder into itself, a name with `:`; a Capture being recorded and the folder holding it; a folder under `/irc` while IRC runs. Each refused with its reason; the Capture could still be copied |
+| Text | A 1 MB log opens at its last line at once; top, pages, lines; a file without an extension that looks like text opens as text |
+| Hex | A 5 KB binary file; Tab from any other viewer |
+| `.pcap` | A LoRa Capture: 3 packets as the Scanner lists them, Enter shows the Meshtastic header and bytes |
+| `.gpx` | 400 points: start, 33 min 15 s, 4.68 km; Tab shows the text |
+| `.ota` | A signed file: version, "intact", "older than what's running", Enter asks to install (not confirmed). A tampered one: "image corrupted (hash mismatch)" |
+| Maintenance | The warning, then usage, Clean-up's categories and Erase (not run) |
+| Date with GNSS only | NTP pointed at an address that doesn't answer, restart: the Clock came from the Fix, and a folder made then is dated 2026-10-06 08:39. A Track from the day before, written the same way by v0.8.1, shows "-" |
+| Memory | IRC connected, the App open on 256 entries: 61 KB free (70 KB before opening). Lowest since boot 29.7 KB, during IRC's TLS handshake |
+| Stacks | `storage` 3.1 KB free of 6 KB at worst, `loopTask` 1.5 KB |
+
+**Not checked by hand:** how the keys feel on the device itself; everything above was driven through the Debug Console's `key` command and screenshots.

+**One slip during the checks:** a scripted key sequence ran in the wrong folder and renamed `/gemini/saved` to `saved2`, then copied it to the top of the card. Both were put right at once (renamed back, the copy deleted; 7 files, 53,798 bytes, as before).
+
+**Found on the way:** a panic at Wi-Fi join, there since v0.7.0 (SNTP started twice, issue #46). Fixed in v0.9.0.
+
+## Notes (issue #19)
+
+Plain text notes on the SD card, written on the device. Q30 settled the base: `.txt` files in `/notes`, created, edited and deleted from the device, never offered by Storage Clean-up.
+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q141 | A **Notes** App in the Launcher. One row per note: its first line as the title, then the date. Newest first; `s` switches to by name. `n` new, Enter opens, `d` deletes after a confirmation, `r` renames the file. |
+| Q142 | A new note's file name is never typed: it comes from the first line when the note is first saved (`shopping-list.txt`), or `note-20261006-0919.txt` if that line is empty. It doesn't change afterwards unless the note is renamed. |
+| Q143 | **Autosave, no "discard changes?" prompt:** five seconds after the last key, on leaving the note or the App, and when the screen turns off. A save writes a temporary file and renames it over the note, so a power cut loses the last few seconds at most. A temporary file left behind is offered back at the next open. |
+| Q144 | The whole note is in memory while it's edited, up to **16 KB**. A bigger text file opens read-only in the Storage App's viewer. The App refuses to open below the memory floors (Q86). **Editing files of any size must come in a later release: issue #47.** |
+| Q145 | The editor wraps at spaces, 38 columns by 8 rows, with a line for the name and the state. Enter is a new line, Del deletes backwards, Fn+arrows move (the Text Entry rule), Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E go to the start and the end of the line, Tab types two spaces, Back saves and returns. The Compose Key works as elsewhere. |
+| Q146 | The Storage App's text viewer gets `e`: edit this file with the same editor, for a text file up to 16 KB that isn't read-only. That lifts Q135 without Apps opening each other (#43 stays). |
+| Q147 | The list is flat: the files directly in `/notes`. Sub-folders are reached through the Storage App. |
+| Q148 | UTF-8, LF line ends; a file with CRLF is saved back with LF. Characters the font lacks are kept on save. |
+| Q149 | Left out, each with its issue: editing files of any size (#47), searching inside notes (#48), undo (#49), selecting and copying text (#50). |
+| Q150 | Ships as **v0.10.0** when built and checked on the device. |
+
+### Done when
+
+- A note can be started, typed with accents, left and found again in the list under its first line; renamed; deleted after a confirmation.
+- What's typed is on the card five seconds after the last key, and after Back, Home, or the screen turning off, without a prompt.
+- Pulling the power while typing loses a few seconds at most, and the note is never left empty or half-written.
+- The cursor moves by character and by line through wrapped text, and the screen follows it; a 16 KB note edits without lag.
+- A note at 16 KB refuses more text and says so; a bigger file opens read-only.
+- `e` in the Storage App's text viewer edits a file; a read-only one is refused with its reason.
+- Free heap stays above the floors with a 16 KB note open and IRC connected.
+
+### Work breakdown
+
+1. **Model** (host-tested): the text buffer with its cursor, wrapping and scrolling; file names from first lines.
+2. **The editor on the device:** loading, drawing, keys, autosave through a temporary file, recovery.
+3. **The Notes App:** the list with titles, new, rename, delete.
+4. **`e` in the Storage App.**
+5. **Checks on the device**, recorded here.
+
+### As built
+
+- **`NoteText`** (`lib/notes`, host-tested) is the text, its cursor and the screen around it. A line owns the space or the newline it ends with, so every byte is on exactly one line and the cursor has one place for each. **No index of lines is kept:** a note of newlines alone would need twice its own size for one. Where a line starts is worked out from the start of its paragraph.
+- **One buffer, 16 KB, for as long as the editor is open.** It's reserved when the note is opened, the file is read straight into it, and typing never makes it grow. On this device a failed allocation is an abort, and with IRC connected the largest free block is about 31 KB whatever the total says: the first version read the file into one string and copied it into another, and opening a full note with IRC connected restarted the device. The editor now also refuses to open without a free block of 24 KB.
+- **`NoteEditor`** (`src/apps/note_editor`) is shared by the Notes App and the Storage App's `e`. A save runs on the storage task while the main loop waits for it: no second copy of the note, and at 16 KB the wait is a fraction of a second at a moment when nobody has typed for five.
+- **A save** writes `<note>.tmp`, checks its size, deletes the note and renames the temporary file (FAT can't rename onto a file). A cut between the last two steps leaves only the `.tmp`: the Notes list puts such a file back under its name. A `.tmp` next to its note is an unfinished save: opening the note offers it.
+- **Titles** in the list are read from the card for the eight rows on screen, when the list moves.
+- **Before powering off**, the firmware now leaves the foreground App (`PowerService::beforePowerOff`), which makes the editor save.
+- Shift or Alt with Fn+Up and Fn+Down moves a page (not in Q145).
+
+### Found on the way
+
+- **The screen could go "off" for one tick after a key sent through the Debug Console**, and the next key was then swallowed as a wake-up: the `key` command stamps the power timer from `millis()`, the power tick compares with its pass's older time, and the unsigned difference read as 49 days idle. The same shape as #46. Fixed in `PowerPolicy::update` with a test. Keys from the keyboard were never affected. It explains remote keys "lost" in earlier sessions.
+- **`scripts/rdbg.py` held back piped lines** written while it was still connecting, until the next line came (a buffered `readline()` behind `select()`). Fixed.
+
+### Checks on the device (2026-10-06, Debug Build of branch `notes`)
+
+Test notes were made in `/notes` and removed afterwards; the folder is left, empty.
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Host tests | 439 pass |
+| A first note | "No notes yet", `n`, typed three lines: the top line says "typing", then "saved" five seconds after the last key, under `shopping-list.txt`. 63 keys in a row all arrived |
+| Leaving | Back saves and returns to the list, which shows the note under its first line. Home in the middle of a new note saved it as `ideas.txt` |
+| The cursor | Down, Right, an insertion in the middle of a line; the screen scrolls through a note of about 230 lines |
+| A power cut | Typed, waited seven seconds, typed more and restarted the device at once (`reset`): the note has what was saved, whole, and not the last keys |
+| An unfinished save | A `.tmp` next to its note: "Unsaved copy... Keep the note / Use the copy"; using it brings its text back and saves it. A `.tmp` alone was put back under its name when the list opened |
+| 16 KB | A note of exactly 16,384 bytes opens and scrolls; one more character: "This note is full: 16 KB". A file of 16,398 bytes: "Too big to edit: 16 KB at most" |
+| Rename, delete, sort | `r` renamed `orphan.txt` to `orphan2.txt`; `d` asked, then deleted; `s` switched between newest first and by file name |
+| `e` in the Storage App | A note opened from the text viewer, edited, saved on Back; the listing shows its new size |
+| Memory | IRC connected, the full 16 KB note open: 55 KB free, largest block 31.7 KB (72 KB free before opening) |
+
+**Not checked:** accents through the Compose Key and Ctrl+A / Ctrl+E (the remote `key` command can't send them; the model's tests cover both), the power button's save (it needs a hand on the device), a missing card, and how typing feels on the keyboard itself.
+
+**One slip during the checks:** a key sequence sent right after a restart opened IRC instead of Notes, and the test letters went into IRC's input line. Nothing was sent: the line was cleared and the App left. IRC connected to Libera as it does when opened.

+
+Gemini (geminiprotocol.net): one request per TLS connection on port 1965, the request is the URL and CRLF, the response a `<status> <meta>` header line, then the body. Most capsules use self-signed certificates: trust on first use is the norm.
+
+## Decisions (design round 2026-10-05)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q70 | A milestone of its own, **G1**, before M3: plan, tests first, measured on the device, tagged v0.5.0. |
+| Q71 | **TOFU:** the first certificate seen for a host is pinned (SHA-256, in NVS). If it changes, the page isn't shown; a dialog shows both fingerprints and asks whether to trust the new one. Self-signed or expired certificates are fine; only a change counts. |
+| Q72 | Responses: 1x input (11 hidden, for passwords), 2x content, up to 5 redirects (3x), 4x/5x errors with the server's message. 6x (client certificates): "not supported". |
+| Q73 | `text/gemini` is rendered, other `text/*` shown as plain text. Anything else can be saved to `/gemini/downloads/`, not shown. |
+| Q74 | Up to **64 KB on screen**, larger pages truncated with a notice. Saving streams to the card, so a larger page is saved whole. |
+| Q75 | Gemtext rendering: text wrapped to the 40-column screen; `#`/`##`/`###` headings in bold and accent; `*` lists with bullets; `>` quotes indented and muted; preformatted blocks unwrapped, Left/Right to scroll; `=>` links with their label, numbered. |
+| Q76 | Up/Down scroll; Tab and Shift+Tab move between links; Enter follows; Backspace goes back; `g` opens the address line. Links to other protocols show their URL and aren't followed. |
+| Q77 | Back history of 20 URLs in RAM, with scroll positions; going back refetches (or reopens a Saved Page). **Bookmarks** in `/gemini/bookmarks.gmi` (a gemtext page, shown on the start page); `b` adds the current page. Without a card, a built-in start page. |
+| Q78 | Start page: bookmarks, then Saved Pages, then defaults: geminiprotocol.net, a search engine (kennedy.gemi.dev), an aggregator (Cosmos; Antenna was down when measured). |
+| Q79 | UTF-8 decoded; characters outside the Latin-1 fonts shown as `?`. |
+| Q80 | IRC and Gemini can run together: each fetch opens one connection, reads and closes it. If there isn't memory for a second TLS connection, the fetch fails with a clear message and IRC is untouched. Measured in step 1. |
+| Q81 | Debug aid: `gemini get <url>` prints the status, MIME type, size, certificate fingerprint and the first lines. URL resolution (RFC 3986), the response header and gemtext parsing are host-tested. |
+| Q82 | `s` saves the page on screen as a **Saved Page**: `/gemini/saved/<host>/<path>.gmi`, the gemtext as received plus a first line with its URL and save date. Saving again replaces it, and says so. |
+| Q83 | `S` saves the page and the pages it links to, one level deep: gemtext only, same host only, at most 30 pages, in the background with a progress Toast. |
+| Q84 | The start page lists Saved Pages, newest first, grouped by capsule; they open with no network. In a Saved Page, a link to another Saved Page opens the saved copy; other links fetch online if Wi-Fi is up, or say "not saved, offline". A Saved Page shows when it was saved; `r` refreshes it. |
+| Q86 | *Decided after step 1, revised after Q88.* **Two floors:** free heap stays above 40 KB in steady state; a fetch refuses to start below **55 KB** free ("not enough memory: stop IRC or retry"). The firmware's own allocations during a fetch (a page in RAM, a window) keep 20 KB free. With IRC connected, the TLS connection itself can briefly take the heap lower, depending on the server's record sizes: measured 24, 19.5, 15.5 and **13 KB**. *Accepted:* about 12 KB for a moment during a fetch with IRC up, rather than refusing most fetches (a 70 KB start floor) or dropping IRC's connection for each page. |
+| Q87 | *Decided in step 3.* **With a card, every page streams to `/gemini/cache/page.gmi`** in 1 KB pieces while its TLS connection is open; once the connection closes and its ~45 KB is back, the page is loaded into RAM as far as the 40 KB floor allows. The whole page stays on the card (Saved Pages copy it). Without a card, the page goes straight to RAM under the same two floors. Pages are held as lines in 4 KB chunks, never one large block (the largest free block with IRC connected is about 31 KB). |
+| Q88 | *Added after step 6.* **A page bigger than memory allows is read from the card as you scroll.** Opening it, one pass over its file counts the lines, records where every 64th starts (and whether it's inside a preformatted block), and loads the first window. Scrolling near either end of the window reads the next or previous one in the background, keeping the line on top of the screen where it is; the scrollbar follows the whole page. Display pages alternate between two cache files, so the one on screen is never overwritten by the next fetch; background jobs use a third. |
+| Q85 | Saved Pages are deleted from the App only (`d`, with confirmation), never by Storage Clean-up's age rules, like Notes. |
+
+## Measured (step 1)
+
+- `gemini://geminiprotocol.net/`: `20 text/gemini`, 1,184 bytes, TLS handshake 0.7–1.1 s, whole fetch 0.7–1.1 s; kennedy.gemi.dev 1.9 s. The fetch task's stack peaks at about 3.6 KB of 6.
+- **Heap, Debug Build, IRC connected over TLS:** about 68 KB free before a fetch. After the handshake the fetch holds about 32 KB (36–40 KB left); the handshake itself (certificate chain parsed with the 16 KB receive buffer allocated) dips to about **24 KB** for a second or two. Nothing leaks: the heap after matches the heap before.
+- **Step 3, Cosmos (31.6 KB) with IRC connected:** first stopped at 4.6 KB (RAM only, the transfer's 20 KB floor). Streamed to the card: the whole page on the card, 20 KB of it loaded, lowest free heap 19.5 KB during the transfer and 43 KB once loaded. Without IRC: the whole page in RAM. Redirects (Cosmos `31`), input (`10`), not found (`51`) and a changed certificate (refused, both fingerprints shown) all checked on the device.
+- **Steps 4–6 on the device:** Project Gemini and its relative links, Back with the scroll restored, a refused YouTube link; `b` bookmarks, `s` saves (and says when it replaced an older copy), `S` saved 6 of 6 pages, the start page lists both; a Saved Page opens from the card with its origin, its saved links open saved copies, `r` refreshes, `d` asks first; Kennedy's input prompt sent "cardputer" and got 87 results; emoji drawn as `?`.
+- **A bug found there:** refreshing first loaded the whole Saved Page into RAM just to read its origin, next to the App's copy and a TLS connection: the heap fell to 436 bytes. Now only the first line is read, and every fetch (pages, saves, refreshes) checks the 55 KB start floor. Lowest since boot afterwards: 53.8 KB.
+- **Windowed pages (Q88), Cosmos with IRC connected:** 226 of 419 lines in memory at first; paging down loaded lines 192–419 in one window, scrolling back up loaded 64 onwards, then 0 onwards. Window budgets count the memory the old window gives back.
+- **Heap during a fetch with IRC connected:** lowest 13–15.5 KB in later runs (24 and 19.5 KB earlier), the TLS receive buffers varying with the server's records. Accepted (Q86, revised).
+- Antenna (`warmedal.se`) doesn't answer, from the PC either; the default aggregator becomes Cosmos (`gemini://skyjake.fi/~Cosmos/`, which redirects to `cosmos.skyjake.fi`).
+
+## Done when
+
+- `gemini get gemini://geminiprotocol.net/` prints the header, size and fingerprint on the console.
+- The Gemini App opens the start page, follows links (relative ones included), goes back, and follows redirects.
+- An input prompt (e.g. a search) takes a query and shows the results.
+- A changed certificate stops the page and asks.
+- `s` saves a page, `S` a page and its links; with Wi-Fi off, Saved Pages open and their saved links work.
+- Bookmarks are added with `b` and listed on the start page.
+- With IRC connected over TLS, a fetch still works, and the free heap stays above 40 KB.
+
+## Work breakdown
+
+1. **Two TLS connections:** measure the heap with IRC connected while a Gemini fetch runs.
+2. **Parsers** (host-tested): URL parsing and relative resolution, the response header, gemtext lines.
+3. **Fetch** on its own task, with TOFU and `gemini get`.
+4. **Gemini App:** rendering, scrolling, links, history, the address line.
+5. **Input prompts, redirects, bookmarks, downloads.**
+6. **Saved Pages,** then saving with linked pages.

+- **Cold start** (`$PCAS10,2`) to a 3D Fix, by a window: **73 s**, 5 satellites used of 8 in view. A restart of the ESP32 alone keeps the receiver's Fix (the Cap stays powered).
+- By a window: 3D Fix from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou, up to 14 of 17 satellites used, HDOP 1.0–1.3.
+- **Heap, Debug Build, GNSS on, IRC on TLS** (floor 40 KB; v0.2.1 had a 79 KB low):
+

+  |---|---|---|
+  | Start of M2 | 31 KB | 12.6 KB |
+  | Stacks and buffers trimmed by measurement | 46 KB | 18 KB |
+  | mDNS removed | 54 KB | 34 KB |
+  | Framework rebuilt with smaller TLS buffers (ADR 0006) | **78 KB** | **59 KB** |
+
+  Under the heaviest combined load measured (IRC, two refused installs, a 1.6 MB put and get), the low is 46 KB. The cost had come mostly from the OTA and Debug Build work, not GNSS. Stacks were set to measured peak plus about 2 KB (loop 6 KB, update 5, storage 6, irc 6); after a TLS handshake the irc task has 1.7 KB left. IRC can now be stopped by hand (`/quit` in any state, `irc stop`), which frees its TLS memory.
+
+**Goal:** the device knows where it is and what time it is without a network: a GNSS Service in the background, a GNSS App with the position and a sky view of the satellites, the clock set from satellites when there's no NTP, and Tracks recorded to the SD card.
+
+**Hardware:** the Cap LoRa-1262 carries an ATGM336H-6N (AT6668), multi-constellation (GPS, BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS), with a ceramic antenna. NMEA over UART, 115200 8N1. **Measured (step 1, `gnss probe`): RX GPIO 15, TX GPIO 13, 115200 8N1**, as in Meshtastic's board file; M5Stack's page names GPIO 8 and 9, which are the internal I2C bus the keyboard controller sits on. Output is NMEA 4.10 style: `GN` RMC, VTG and GGA, one GSA per constellation with the system ID (1 GPS, 2 GLONASS, 3 Galileo, 4 BeiDou, 5 QZSS) in its last field, and a GSV sequence per constellation and signal (`GP`, `GL`, `GA`, …) with the signal ID last. RMC carries a time even without a Fix (status `V`), so only a Fix makes it trustworthy.
+
+## Decisions (design round 2026-10-04)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q58 | Settings has a GNSS On/Off switch, **On by default**. Off puts the receiver in standby. *Measured:* `$PCAS12,<seconds>` (CASIC) stops its output within a second, for up to at least 65535 s, and any command wakes it within a second; Off sends `PCAS12,65535` (renewed hourly), On sends a hot start, `PCAS10,0`. |
+| Q59 | The **GNSS App** has two views, switched with Tab. *Position*: latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, course, Fix (none / 2D / 3D), satellites used and in view, HDOP, UTC time. *Sky*: the satellites placed by azimuth and elevation, coloured by constellation, filled when used in the Fix. |
+| Q60 | "Radar" in M2 means the Sky view. A radar of other Nodes by distance and bearing needs the mesh: M4. |
+| Q61 | The **Status Bar** shows a GNSS mark: absent when off, muted while searching, normal with a 2D Fix, with the satellite count with a 3D Fix. |
+| Q62 | GNSS time **sets the clock once there's a Fix**, and refreshes it every 10 minutes. *Revised in step 3:* the clock's trust order from M0 (Mesh < NTP < GNSS) already ranks GNSS above NTP, which is right: GNSS time is at least as accurate. So GNSS also corrects a clock NTP set, not only an unset one. |
+| Q63 | A **Track** is started and stopped in the GNSS App. It's written as GPX to `/gnss/tracks/<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>.gpx`, a point every 5 s when the position moved more than 5 m. It keeps recording with the App closed, with a Toast on start and stop and a Status Bar mark, and gets its own Storage Clean-up category. |
+| Q64 | Coordinates in **decimal degrees plus the Maidenhead locator**; a Settings switch for degrees, minutes and seconds. Metric units only. |
+| Q65 | **The position never leaves the device in M2.** Sharing it over the mesh, and at what precision, is decided in M4. |
+| Q66 | **Our own NMEA parser**, host-tested: RMC, GGA, GSA and GSV, with each talker ID mapped to its constellation. TinyGPSPlus (named in ADR 0001) doesn't track the satellite list across constellations, which the Sky view needs. |
+| Q67 | The receiver keeps its **defaults** (all constellations, 1 Hz). No receiver settings. Time to first fix is measured and recorded here. |
+| Q68 | Debug aids: `gnss status`, and `gnss nmea on/off` to stream the raw sentences to the console (USB serial and Debug Console). Raw NMEA is never written to the card. |
+
+**Lesson (step 3):** the first probe also tried the pins swapped, driving the receiver's output line from the ESP32 for about a second. The receiver then went silent until a full power cycle (an ESP32 restart doesn't cut the Cap's power). Never drive GPIO 15.
+
+## Done when
+
+- The GNSS Service reads NMEA in the background whatever App is on screen, and a 3D Fix appears outdoors.
+- The GNSS App shows the Position and Sky views, both live.
+- The Status Bar shows the GNSS mark per Q61.
+- With no Wi-Fi, the clock is set from GNSS after the first Fix.
+- A Track records while the App is closed, survives the screen turning off, and opens as valid GPX on the PC.
+- Settings → GNSS Off stops it (and the Status Bar mark goes away); On brings it back.
+- Free heap stays above about 40 KB with GNSS, Wi-Fi, IRC on TLS and the UI running.
+
+## Work breakdown
+
+1. **Hardware check:** a `gnss probe` command reads the candidate UART pins and reports which carries NMEA, at what baud rate, and which talker IDs. Then the standby command (Q58) and a first time to first fix.
+2. **NMEA parser** (host-tested): checksum, RMC, GGA, GSA, GSV across constellations, merged into one GNSS state (Fix, position, time, satellites).
+3. **GNSS Service:** UART on its own task, the parser, `gnss status` and `gnss nmea`, Settings On/Off.
+4. **Clock from GNSS** (Q62), and the Status Bar mark (Q61).
+5. **GNSS App:** Position view, Maidenhead and coordinate formats (host-tested), then the Sky view.
+6. **Tracks:** the 5 s / 5 m rule and GPX writing (host-tested), background recording, Clean-up category.

+**Status:** done, tagged v0.6.0. Everything was checked on the device except one "Done when" item: Sweep was never tried against a known transmitter (see below). The listening hour heard nothing, so by Q104 **a reference Meshtastic node is a requirement for M4**.
+
+**Goal:** the LoRa radio on the Cap works, receive only: a Radio Service owns it and shares the SPI bus with the SD card safely, and a LoRa Scanner App shows what's on the air, either packets (Sniffer) or energy across the band (Sweep). Nothing in M3 can transmit. The mesh comes on top of this in M4 (receive) and M5 (transmit).
+
+**Hardware:** the Cap LoRa-1262 carries an SX1262 (868–923 MHz, +22 dBm) with an RP-SMA antenna. Pins, as in Meshtastic's board file for the Cardputer ADV: **NSS 5, RST 3, DIO1 (IRQ) 4, BUSY 6**, on the SPI bus shared with the microSD card (SCK 40, MISO 39, MOSI 14; card CS 12). Meshtastic uses DIO2 as the RF switch and DIO3 for a 1.8 V TCXO, marked optional. M5Stack's page adds an FM8625H antenna switch enabled by P0 of a PI4IOE5V6408 I/O expander on the internal I2C bus, address not given; Meshtastic doesn't mention it. Step 1 measures which is true.
+
+**No other LoRa device yet.** meshmap.net (2026-10-05) lists two Meshtastic nodes within 10 km of the desk and six within 30 km, with positions blurred by a few km; none is known to be in range. M3 needs none: it only receives.

+- **Internal I2C bus (8/9):** 0x18 (ES8311 codec), 0x34 (TCA8418 keyboard), **0x43 (PI4IOE5V6408, ID register 0xA2)**, 0x69 (BMI270 IMU).
+- **The SX1262 answers** on NSS 5, RST 3, DIO1 4, BUSY 6. Its version string reads `SX1261 V2D 2D02`, which SX1262 chips report too. **The 1.8 V TCXO works** on the first try; the radio is ready 38 ms after `begin`.
+- **The expander's P0 connects the antenna; it's required.** At power-on P0 is an input (direction 0x00, high-impedance 0xFF), and the receiver reads a flat **-111.9 dBm** at 869.525 MHz, BW 250 kHz: the chip's own floor, deaf. With P0 driven high, the noise floor is **-87 to -94 dBm**: the antenna hearing the room. So the Radio Service drives P0 high at boot (Q91).
+- **DIO2 doesn't change reception** (within ±2 dB over three runs, P0 high). It likely selects TX versus RX in the FM8625H; it stays the RF switch, as in Meshtastic.
+- **The noise floor at the desk is high** (-87 to -94 dBm, varying run to run), about 25 dB above thermal noise for 250 kHz. Something nearby is loud, possibly the Cardputer itself or the PC; Sweep (step 5) should show where it sits.
+- **Step 2:** presets, frequencies and the channel hash are checked against Meshtastic's source (`MeshRadio.h`, `RadioInterface.cpp`): LongFast and the default key give hash 8, MediumFast 31, as Meshtastic shows. Captures were checked with TShark 4.2.5: every LoRaTap field reads back. Wireshark ignores the spec's quarter-dB packet RSSI below 0 dB SNR, so packet RSSI is plain dBm.
+- **Step 3:** the DIO1 interrupt works (a 100 ms receive timeout wakes the task after 105 ms). While listening: four 1.7 MB uploads and Gemini pages to the card, no radio or card errors (the card refuses a write about once in five uploads with the radio asleep too; `put` now catches it, and issue #21 follows the cause). The ring takes 9.8 KB while listening; the radio task's stack peaks at 2.0 KB.
+- **No packets yet, and a loud desk.** Twenty minutes on LongFast and on LoRaWAN's three uplink frequencies (SF7, SF9, SF12): no packet and no header, valid or not. The noise floor reads -83 to -94 dBm, against -112 dBm with the antenna switched off: 20 to 30 dB lost to something nearby, not the screen and not the GNSS receiver. Preamble detections are false alarms at this noise level (more on an empty frequency, 869.0 MHz, than on LongFast).
+- **Step 4:** a Capture made on the device reads back in TShark field for field (time, frequency, SF, RSSI, SNR, payload). A Capture keeps the radio listening with the App closed; stopping it puts the radio back to sleep.
+- **Step 5:** a pass across 863–870 MHz (71 steps, the strongest of three RSSI readings at each, measured at 125 kHz) takes about 607 ms. At the desk the band is **flat at -100 to -102 dBm**, about 15 dB above the chip's own floor at 125 kHz, with a steady carrier at 863.2 MHz (-89 dBm at its strongest) and fainter lines elsewhere: broadband noise from nearby electronics rather than a transmitter. Sweep's waterfall takes 2.6 KB while shown; 91.9 KB free during a Sweep. The radio task's stack peaks at 1.9 KB.
+- **Outside, on battery (step 6).** The noise is no lower than at the desk: a Sweep floor of -96 to -99 dBm (median -97) with Wi-Fi on, -99 to -100 with Wi-Fi off, so Wi-Fi accounts for 2 or 3 dB. The same narrow peaks come back on every pass, at 863.2, 863.6, 864.4, 864.8, 865.9, 866.3, 867.8, 869.0 and 869.4 MHz (-88 to -91 dBm), several of them 400 kHz apart; 869.4 MHz is the lower edge of LongFast's channel. A source that follows the device outside and onto its battery is the device: **about 15 dB of the floor is the Cardputer's own** (issue #20). At SF11 that puts the weakest decodable packet near -114 dBm on LongFast, against about -130 dBm for a quiet receiver.
+- **The listening hour (step 6, Q104):** 20:33 to 21:34 on 2026-10-05, outside, on battery, LongFast, with a Capture running. **0 packets, 0 headers**, 0 radio errors; noise -85 to -87 dBm at 250 kHz throughout; 860 preamble detections, all false alarms. The Capture holds its 24-byte header and nothing else. No restart in 1 h 10 min.
+- **Floors (Q86):** with the radio listening, Wi-Fi and IRC connected over TLS, 52.6 KB free (lowest 22.7 KB during the TLS handshake, the dip accepted in G1). Without IRC, 93 KB.
+- **Receive only:** nothing in `src` or `lib` calls a transmit function.
+- **Cost:** RadioLib 7.8.1 and the probe add 23.6 KB of flash and 656 bytes of static RAM to the release firmware (1,679,843 bytes of 3,342,336). The whole milestone: 51.8 KB of flash (1,708,091 bytes), 365 tests (27 new).
+
+## Decisions (design round 2026-10-05)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q89 | **M3 is the radio only:** Radio Service, Sniffer, Sweep. Notes and the File Browser (Q30) move out to issue #3 and a Notes issue, as a later side milestone. |
+| Q90 | **RadioLib**, pinned (ADR 0001). SX1262 on NSS 5, RST 3, DIO1 4, BUSY 6; DIO2 as RF switch; TCXO at 1.8 V tried first, falling back to the crystal (Meshtastic's `TCXO_OPTIONAL`). |
+| Q91 | Step 1 is `lora probe`: chip status and version, which oscillator setting worked, and an I2C scan of the internal bus for the PI4IOE5V6408. If present, its P0 is set high at boot (harmless) and DIO2 stays the switch. A wrong switch receives deaf, so compare noise floors. |
+| Q92 | A **Radio Service** owns the SX1262: driver, bus lock, IRQ task. The LoRa Scanner uses it in M3; the Mesh Service sits on top of it in M4. |
+| Q93 | Every radio transfer takes the shared bus lock (`SPI.beginTransaction`, as the card does). DIO1's interrupt only wakes the task; no SPI in the ISR. **Done when** a Gemini page streams to the card while the Sniffer receives, with no lost packets and no card errors (`lora status` counters). |
+| Q94 | **Receive only:** the Radio Service has no transmit function in M3. It doesn't exist, rather than being unused. |
+| Q95 | Sniffer defaults: **EU868 LongFast**, 869.525 MHz, BW 250 kHz, SF 11, CR 4/5, sync word 0x2B, preamble 16 (Q19). The other Meshtastic presets are offered, plus custom settings. |
+| Q96 | The Sniffer lists packets (time, RSSI, SNR, frequency error, length; hex dump on Enter) **and decodes the Meshtastic header**: the first 16 bytes are never encrypted (destination, sender, packet ID, hop limit and hop start, channel hash, next hop, relay node). Host-tested. Payload decryption is M4. |
+| Q97 | A Sniffer **Capture** is pcap with **LoRaTap** headers (link type 270), for Wireshark. Started by hand, Status Bar mark, its own Clean-up category, the 90% rule. |
+| Q98 | **Sweep** steps across the Region's band (863–870 MHz) in 100 kHz steps by default, reading instant RSSI: bars with peak hold, and a waterfall, Wi-Fi Tools style. Optionally CAD on the preset's frequency to tell LoRa traffic from noise. |
+| Q99 | Sweep takes the radio and pauses the Sniffer, visibly (Q18). From M4 it pauses the Mesh Service the same way. |
+| Q100 | The Sniffer runs while the App is open **or a Capture is recording**; otherwise the radio sleeps. From M4 the Mesh Service keeps it on. |
+| Q101 | **Status Bar:** a radio mark while receiving, flashing on each packet; muted during a Sweep. |
+| Q102 | Debug aids: `lora status` (settings, counters, last RSSI/SNR, noise floor), `lora probe`, `lora rx on/off` (packets on the consoles). Raw packets are never written to the card outside a Capture. |
+| Q103 | A ring of the **last 32 packets** in RAM (about 9 KB at full length); older ones are dropped unless capturing. IRQ task stack trimmed by measurement; RadioLib's flash and RAM measured in step 1 against the floors. |
+| Q104 | **Done when** (below) includes an hour of listening on LongFast by a window. Real packets heard become M4 test fixtures. If none are heard, M3 still closes, and a reference Meshtastic node (Q21) becomes a requirement for M4. |
+
+## Done when
+
+- `lora probe` reports the SX1262, its oscillator setting and the RF switch arrangement, and the result is written here.
+- The Sniffer receives on LongFast with the App open or a Capture running, and the radio sleeps otherwise.
+- Sweep shows the noise floor across 863–870 MHz, and a known signal (a remote key fob, a 868 MHz sensor, anything) stands out. *Half met: the floor and the device's own steady peaks show; no known transmitter was tried.*
+- The shared-bus test passes (Q93): a Gemini page to the card while the Sniffer receives, no lost packets, no card errors.
+- A Capture opens in Wireshark with LoRaTap fields.
+- The Status Bar mark follows Q101.
+- One hour of LongFast listening by a window has been run and its result recorded here. *Run outside, on battery.*
+- Free heap stays above the floors (Q86) with the Sniffer, Wi-Fi, IRC on TLS and the UI running.
+- Nothing in the firmware can transmit.
+
+## Work breakdown
+
+1. **Hardware check:** RadioLib in the build, `lora probe` (Q91), flash and RAM cost measured.
+2. **Meshtastic header and LoRaTap** (host-tested): header parsing, presets and their radio settings, pcap/LoRaTap writing.
+3. **Radio Service:** receive on its own task behind the bus lock, the packet ring, `lora status` and `lora rx`, the shared-bus test.
+4. **LoRa Scanner App, Sniffer:** the packet list, details, preset choice, Captures, Status Bar mark.
+5. **Sweep:** the RSSI sweep, bars and waterfall, pausing the Sniffer.
+6. **Listening hour** and the measurements above, recorded here.

+**Goal:** install new firmware without a USB cable. Push it from the PC over Wi-Fi, or drop it on the SD card. Unsigned images are refused, and a broken update rolls back by itself.
+
+## Decisions (design round 2026-10-03)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q52 | Two sources: **push over Wi-Fi** from the PC, and **from the SD card**. Pulling from Gitea releases is deferred. |
+| Q53 | **Signed Update Files** (ECDSA P-256 over SHA-256). The private key stays in `~/.config/roro9stack/`, and the firmware embeds the public key (ADR 0003). |
+| Q54 | The device **always listens** for pushes on the LAN while Wi-Fi is Connected. *Revised in M2:* it was announced over mDNS as `roro9stack-<id>.local`; mDNS was removed to save RAM (it never crossed the dev box's routed network anyway). Pushes go to the IP shown in Settings → Firmware. |
+| Q55 | New firmware runs on **Probation**. It's confirmed once booted, UI drawn, Services started, 30 s without a crash, and Wi-Fi connected (if configured). Otherwise **Rollback**. A Toast reports either outcome. |
+| Q56 | **Downgrades are allowed**, with "older than the installed version" shown. |
+| Q57 | A valid push **installs right away**: progress screen, then reboot. The reboot waits for Text Entry to end, 60 s at most. |
+
+## Done when
+
+- `scripts/ota_keygen.sh` creates the key pair once. The public key is committed; the private key never is.
+- `scripts/flash.sh --ota` builds, signs and pushes to `roro9stack-<id>.local`. The device shows progress, reboots, and a Toast confirms the new version.
+- An Update File with a bad signature, a truncated or corrupted image, or no signature is refused, and the device keeps running.
+- Settings → About → **Update from SD** lists the `.ota` files in `/updates` and installs one.
+- A firmware that crashes during Probation rolls back to the previous version, and says so after the reboot.
+
+## Work breakdown
+
+1. **Update File format** (host-tested): header (magic, format, version, image size, SHA-256), signature, image. A streaming parser that hashes as it goes and decides accept / refuse / downgrade. The signature verifier sits behind an interface, so tests can inject one.
+2. **PC side:** key generation, `make_ota.py` (wraps `firmware.bin` into a signed `.ota`), and the push client. `flash.sh --ota` ties them together.
+3. **Device:** the Update Service.
+   - A listener on TCP 3232 plus mDNS.
+   - Writes the image to the inactive app slot, with the ECDSA check through mbedTLS.
+   - A progress screen, and a reboot that waits out Text Entry.
+4. **Probation and Rollback:** the health checks, confirming the image, and detecting a rollback after reboot to report it.
+5. **Update from SD:** the same parser, fed from the Storage Service's task (all card access stays there).

+**Status:** in progress. CI and signed releases on Gitea (issue #5) are in place since 2026-10-06: every tag from v0.1.0 to v0.10.0 has its release. Updates from Gitea (issue #6) is built and checked on the device, on branch `gitea-updates`, not merged yet. The Issues App (#4) comes after.
+
+**Goal:** a tag is a release, built the same way every time and published where a device can find it.
+
+## CI and releases (issue #5)
+
+Until now the tests, the builds, the signing and the flashing all happened on one machine, through `scripts/ci.sh` and `scripts/flash.sh`. Nothing was published.
+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q151 | A push to `main`: the host tests (with their coverage). A push to another branch: nothing, its pull request is what runs (a branch with an open pull request ran twice, once for each). A pull request: the same and both builds; changes reach `main` through pull requests. A tag `v*`: all of it, then a release. (First: everything on every push, which rebuilt the firmware far more often than anyone looked at it.) |
+| Q152 | **CI signs.** The signing key is the repository secret `OTA_SIGNING_KEY`; a tag push makes a complete, signed release with no manual step (ADR 0008). |
+| Q153 | *Revised by Q188: there is one firmware.* The Debug Build is built in CI with a token of the runner's own, to prove it compiles, and **isn't published**: it would hand everyone its Debug Console token. |
+| Q154 | Pull requests from forks don't start a run. |
+| Q155 | A release carries `roro9stack-<version>.ota` (signed), `-factory.bin` for USB, `.elf.gz` to decode crashes, and `SHA256SUMS`. |
+| Q156 | Its text is the tag's message, what the files are, and the commits since the tag before. |
+| Q157 | No cache service to begin with: measure first. |
+| Q158 | Reproducible builds aren't needed for signing any more (Q152); not pursued here. |
+| Q159 | **The tags from before CI get their releases too**, v0.1.0 to v0.10.0, built from each tag's own sources by running the workflow by hand. |
+| Q160 | Actions is switched on for the repository. |
+| Q161 | **Changes reach `main` through pull requests, merged as "rebase, then a merge commit"**, the only style the repository allows: the branch's commits keep their messages, the merge commit marks the pull request, and what CI tested is what lands. No squash, no fast-forward. |
+
+### As built
+
+- **One workflow, `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`, one job**, on the runner `runner0` (label `ubuntu`). The job asks for a `python:3.12-slim` container, installs git, a compiler, openssl and PlatformIO, and runs the same scripts as a developer's machine. No Docker inside the job.
+- **The cache is a Docker volume**, `roro9stack-pio`, mounted at `/pio`; the runner's `config.yaml` allows it under `container.valid_volumes`. A first run downloads about 1 GB and rebuilds the framework. Measured from the jobs' own start and end times: the first full run on an empty cache took 11.4 minutes (tests and both builds); the first run in a container, 8.1; a pull request now takes about 8.7 (tests, coverage and both builds), a release build alone 5.5, and a push to `main` (tests and coverage) 1.1. (An earlier version of this note said 17 minutes: that was the waiting time, not the job's.)
+- **No JavaScript actions**, so the image needs no Node and nothing is fetched from GitHub: the checkout is four git commands.
+- **`scripts/_docker.sh`** runs the command in place when `RORO_NO_DOCKER` is set (a CI job is already in a build container), and in the project's image otherwise. The Debug Build's token is made on the spot in CI and goes with the container.
+- **`scripts/release_build.sh <checkout> <out>`** builds a tag's own sources with today's tools, signs, verifies against the public key in those sources, and writes the files and the release's text. **`scripts/release_publish.py`** creates the Gitea release or completes it; run twice, it replaces what's there. Both run the same on a developer's machine.
+- **`scripts/ota_verify.py`** checks an Update File as a device does, on a PC.
+- **The job's own token** (`secrets.GITEA_TOKEN`) is enough to create a release and upload its files.
+- **Old tags.** v0.1.0 to v0.3.0 are from before the framework was rebuilt with our settings (ADR 0006) and can't link against a rebuilt one left in the cache: the release build puts the stock framework libraries back for them. v0.1.0 to v0.2.1 have no public key in their sources (Firmware Updates came with v0.3.0); their files are checked against today's.
+
+### How it went
+
+- **The runner's label took three tries.** Registered as `ubuntu://docker:ubuntu:resolute` and then as `ubuntu::docker://...`, Gitea took the whole string for the label's name; with the first, jobs ran on the runner's host itself. The first version of the workflow was written for that (plain shell, `docker run` for the build) and published v0.10.0 that way. `ubuntu:docker://docker.gitea.com/runner-images:ubuntu-latest` is the form that works.
+- **Gitea 1.27's API can't cancel a run that isn't finished**, only delete a finished one; switching Actions off and on for the repository doesn't either. Runs queued for a label that no longer exists stay queued until cancelled in the web UI.
+- **CI's image isn't byte-identical to a local build of the same tag** (same size, different bytes). Not pursued (Q158).
+
+## Updates from Gitea (issue #6)
+
+The device looks at the project's Gitea for a newer release, says so, and installs it on request, with the same signed Update Files, Probation and rollback as a push from the PC or an install from the card.
+
+### What the server gives (checked 2026-10-06)
+
+- **Its certificate** is Let's Encrypt, all ECDSA: leaf `git.twis.la` (renewed every few months, next expiry 2026-12-14) under the intermediate YE2, Root YE and ISRG Root X2, which X1 cross-signs. Pinning the leaf would ask a question at every renewal.
+- **The API** answers over HTTP/1.1, chunked: `releases/latest` is 3.2 KB (about 350 bytes of it matter), a list of ten releases is 33 KB.
+- **A download** is a direct 200 with `Content-Length` and no redirect; ranges work.
+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q162 | **Trust:** the firmware carries ISRG Root X1 and X2 and checks the server's chain and name against them, not the framework's bundle of about 130 CAs (ADR 0009). Shared with #4. If the server moves to another CA, the next firmware comes from the PC. |
+| Q163 | The Update File's own signature stays the real guard. A hijacked connection could hide a release or offer an older signed one, never install firmware that isn't ours. |
+| Q164 | The source, `git.twis.la` and `twisla/roro9stack`, is a constant in the firmware. A fork changes it, and has its own key. |
+| Q165 | **When:** on request in Settings > Firmware, and once a day in the background while Wi-Fi is up and the Clock is set (certificate dates need it). A setting, **Check for updates**, on by default. It installs nothing by itself; it skips quietly below the memory floor and never runs during an install. |
+| Q166 | A Toast, "Update v0.11.0 available: see Settings > Firmware", once per version per boot. |
+| Q167 | **The download goes straight into the inactive slot,** no card needed. A truncated or tampered file is refused after 160 bytes or at its end, and the running firmware is untouched. A failed download starts over. |
+| Q168 | A version that failed (rolled back) isn't announced again by the background check until a newer one exists; it can still be installed by hand. |
+| Q169 | **Older releases:** a list of the last ten, newest first, the running one marked. Installing an older one asks with a stronger warning. |
+| Q170 | Enter on a release shows its version, date, size and the tag message, with Install. |
+| Q171 | *Revised by Q188: there is no Debug Build, every firmware installs releases.* **Debug Builds** check and show the latest release, but don't install it: it would replace the Debug Build and its console (Q153: Debug Builds aren't published). Their updates come from the PC. |
+| Q172 | **Memory, as measured:** a TLS connection peaks at about 52 KB of heap, with or without checking the certificate, so it starts with 80 KB free (Q86's 20 KB spare on top), not 55 KB. **A check, list or install someone asked for makes IRC step aside** and come back after; the daily check never does, and with IRC connected it waits. (First: 55 KB and nothing else. With IRC connected a check left 3 KB and a download 836 bytes.) |
+| Q173 | Left out, each with its issue: installing automatically (#52), a release channel (#53), resuming a download (#54). |
+| Q174 | Ships as **v0.11.0**. Tested on the device with the real signed releases; a Debug Build command pretends the device runs an older version, so v0.10.0 counts as an update. |
+
+### Done when
+
+- A check, by hand or daily, tells the right thing: up to date, newer available, no network, bad certificate, no clock, too little memory.
+- A newer release installs from the Firmware page with no card and no PC, and the device restarts into it and confirms it.
+- A tampered or truncated download is refused and the running firmware keeps running.
+- The Older releases list shows ten, and installing one asks first.
+- A release that rolled back isn't announced again.
+- A Debug Build shows the latest release and doesn't install it.
+- The daily check never runs below the memory floor, during an install, or without a clock.
+
+### Work breakdown
+
+1. **Model** (host-tested): a streaming JSON scanner, the release list read from it, HTTP response heads and chunked bodies, URLs, which release counts as an update.
+2. **The connection:** the root certificates, an HTTPS client, a check and a list from the Update Service's task; console commands to try them.
+3. **The download:** an HTTPS source for the existing install path.
+4. **The screens:** the Firmware page's release rows, the release page, Older releases, the setting, the daily check and its Toast.
+5. **Checks on the device**, recorded here.
+
+### As built
+
+- **`lib/release`** (host-tested): a streaming JSON scanner, the release reader built on it, HTTP heads and chunked bodies, URLs, and the decisions (which release is an update, whether to announce it, which download URLs are taken). A list of ten releases is 33 KB of JSON and costs a few hundred bytes of memory, because nothing is kept but the path.
+- **`HttpsGet`** (`src/platform`): one GET, the answer read as a stream, redirects not followed. **`GiteaReleases`** keeps the latest and the list. **The Update Service** serves the requests on its own task (about 5.4 KB of its 7 KB stack at the peak) and installs through the install path that already existed, with an HTTPS source in place of the card or the TCP port.
+- **The daily check** is scheduled from the Update Service's tick: Wi-Fi up, the Clock set, no Probation, nothing else going on, memory for a connection. The day it last succeeded is kept in flash.
+- **A version that failed** (rolled back) is remembered as `ota_failed`, and isn't announced again by the daily check.
+- **The screens:** the Firmware page's Latest release and Older releases rows, a release page with the tag's message, and the install dialog.
+- **Debug Builds** get knobs to try what can't be tried otherwise: `update pretend`, `probe`, `damage` and `daily`.
+- **The first message,** `... available: see Settings > Firmware`, was cut at 48 bytes by the notification's own limit; it now reads `v0.11.0 is out: see Settings > Firmware`.
+
+### Checks on the device (2026-10-06, Debug Builds of branch `gitea-updates`)
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Host tests | 456 pass |
+| Check and list against the live server | The certificate is accepted against the two embedded roots; `releases/latest` read; a list of ten (33 KB) streamed |
+| Servers that must be refused | github.com, example.com, expired.badssl.com, self-signed.badssl.com, wrong.host.badssl.com, untrusted-root.badssl.com and the router: each "isn't accepted" or a TLS error |
+| A download cut short at 800,000 bytes | Refused, "update file too short"; the running firmware untouched |
+| One byte flipped in the signature | Refused after 160 bytes, "bad signature"; the image isn't read further |
+| One byte flipped in the image | Downloaded in full, refused at its end, "image corrupted (hash mismatch)" |
+| The real v0.10.0, from the console and then from the screen | Downloaded, restarted, confirmed on Probation: the slot table read `v0.10.0, valid` both times. The Debug Build was pushed back from the PC after each |
+| The screens | Latest release (checking, then `(current)` or `(new)`), the release page with the tag's message, Older releases with ten rows, the install dialog (Cancel by default, Back cancels), the progress screen at 28% |
+| IRC connected, before the hold | A check left 3 KB of heap; a full download, 836 bytes |
+| IRC connected, with the hold | The lowest free heap during a full download: 38 KB. IRC reconnected afterwards (its counters kept growing) |
+| The daily check | It ran by itself, announced `v0.10.0 is out: see Settings > Firmware` once; with IRC connected (68 KB free) it didn't run |
+| Speed | 1.9 MB in about 46 s, 40 KB/s, over the guest Wi-Fi at -65 dBm; not investigated further |
+
+**Not checked:** the certificate's **name** on its own. Connecting by IP makes the server end the handshake before it shows its certificate, so that test proved nothing; the library sets the name it verifies, and OpenSSL on the PC refused the wrong name against the same chain. A failed daily check retrying, the clock not being set, the release that failed before not being announced (host-tested, not on the device), and the hold when IRC isn't connected but Gemini holds memory.
+
+**Limits worth knowing:**
+- **With IRC connected for days, the daily check doesn't run.** It would have to take IRC down to make room. Opening Latest release does.
+- **A server that changes CA can't be reached** until a firmware carrying the new root comes from the PC (ADR 0009).
+- **No resuming:** a broken download starts over (#54).
+- **A key press during the hold:** Back on the Firmware page while a check is going doesn't cancel it.
+
+**Two slips during the checks:** a blind sequence of keys on the Firmware page opened the SD card's install dialog (the page keeps its selection between visits); it was cancelled with Back, nothing installed. And my port-polling while waiting for a restart took the Debug Console's only client slot, which made the first install attempt look like a failure.
+
+## One firmware: the Debug Console in every build (issue #68)
+
+The issue asked for a token that could be set, so that Debug Builds could be published. The design round ended somewhere simpler: no Debug Builds. The console is in every firmware, off until switched on, with a token that belongs to the device (ADR 0010, which supersedes part of ADR 0004).
+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q188 | **One firmware,** with the Debug Console and the test commands compiled in. The `cardputer-adv-debug` environment, `RORO_DEBUG`, the `+debug` version and `scripts/debug_flags.py` go; CI builds one firmware. Revises Q153 and Q171. |
+| Q189 | **Off by default,** and off when the stored setting is missing or invalid. Off, nothing listens and no memory is used: the task and the 4 KB ring exist only while it's on. |
+| Q190 | **Settings → Debug Console:** the switch, where to connect, the token, "New token", "Type a token". It stays on across restarts and in Safe Mode. **`DBG` in the Status Bar** while it listens, bright with a client connected. |
+| Q191 | **The device makes the token** the first time the console is switched on: 100 bits as 20 characters of Crockford's base32, shown in groups of four. It can be replaced by one typed by hand, of at least 16 characters. Case and dashes don't count. |
+| Q192 | **USB serial can set it up:** `debug on`, `debug token <value>`, `debug token new`, over USB only; `debug status` and `debug off` from anywhere. `scripts/flash.sh --debug` gives a device the developer's token. The token is never printed. |
+| Q193 | **Challenge and answer:** the device sends 16 random bytes, the client their HMAC-SHA256 keyed by the token. Five wrong answers in a row close the console for a minute, with a Notification. **Old clients and old firmwares don't talk to each other:** accepted, this far from v1 and with one user. |
+| Q194 | `rdbg.py` takes the token from **`-t`/`--token`**, then **`$RORO_DEBUG_TOKEN`**, then `~/.config/roro9stack/debug-token`. |
+| Q195 | **The test commands are in every build** (`crash abort`, `crash wdt`, `update pretend`, `update damage`, `lora inject`, `sd fill`, `loop spin`, `wifi ip … try`). `update install … force` goes: there's nothing left to protect. |
+
+### As built
+
+- **`lib/debug`** (host-tested, 9 tests): the token maker, tidying what a person types, HMAC-SHA256 on the project's own SHA-256 (checked against RFC 4231), the answer to a challenge (the same vector as `rdbg.py`'s), a comparison that takes the same time whatever it's given, and the pause after five wrong answers, right across the clock's wrap.
+- **Two settings,** `DebugConsole` and `DebugToken`, with the others: validated, and invalid stored values count as missing.
+- **The console's task and ring come and go with the setting.** `Console::openRing` allocates the ring; switching off closes the socket, frees it and ends the task. `tick` follows the settings once a second, so a switch off and on again takes a second or two.
+- **Measured against the two builds it replaces:** 1,881,799 bytes of flash and 54,700 of static RAM. The release build was 1,851,387 and 54,612 (so 30 KB more flash and 88 bytes more RAM); the Debug Build was 1,874,887 and 58,780 (4 KB of RAM back: the ring is no longer a static array).
+- **The listener is asked whether it listens.** The framework's `begin()` returns nothing and fails without a word; the task now checks, says so on the console, and tries again every two seconds.
+- **`debug off <seconds>`** closes the console and brings it back by itself: the only way to try its closing and reopening from afar, since switching it on is for the device and the cable only.
+- **`scripts/rdbg.py`** answers the challenge, and fetches a release's ELF from Gitea when a crash names a version that isn't in `.pio/elves/`.
+
+### Checks
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Host tests | 468 pass (456 before) |
+| The firmware builds | One environment, 1,881,799 bytes of flash used |
+| Pushed over Wi-Fi to a device running a Debug Build | Installed, restarted; the update port answers and **port 2323 refuses connections**: off by default |
+| Switched on at the device (Settings → Debug Console) | A token is made and shown. Its first drawing, in bold at normal size, was misread once: it is now at twice the size, in two lines, and `O`, `I` and `L` are taken for `0` and `1` |
+| A login with `scripts/rdbg.py` | The challenge is answered; `info`, `screenshot` and the backlog work |
+| `DBG` in the Status Bar | There while the console is on, bright while a client is connected (screenshots) |
+| `debug on` and `debug token` over the console | Refused: `over USB serial only` |
+| Six logins with a wrong token | Five are refused, a second apart; the sixth, and the right token after it, get `locked`. After a minute the right token works again. The console's own log and a Notification say so |
+| Three `crash abort` in a row | **Safe Mode**, with the console reachable: `info` works, `ls /` says `not available in Safe Mode`. `rdbg.py crash` decodes the backtrace to `runCommand` at the `abort()` line. `reboot` leaves Safe Mode |
+| An update over Wi-Fi with the console on | The setting and the token survive: the console is back by itself after the restart |
+| `debug off` over the console | The client is dropped and port 2323 refuses connections; the update port still answers |
+| `debug off 2`, 10 times in a row, then 15 | It came back each time, a second after the pause. Free heap dips by about 270 bytes for each connection the device closes and **is all back two minutes later** (107.2 KB before, 103.2 right after 15, 107.0 at two minutes): TCP holds a closed connection that long. Not a leak, though it looked like one for an hour |
+| Memory, console on with a client | 108 KB free (the Debug Build it replaces: 104 KB). In Safe Mode: 178 KB free |
+
+**One false alarm:** after the tests the console "wouldn't come back on". It was off: the setting had been left off by `debug off`, and the page's "Switch it on?" dialog opens on **Cancel**, so Enter twice leaves it off. Nothing was lost.
+
+**Not checked:** `scripts/flash.sh --debug` over USB (no device on USB here); "New token" and "Type a token" from the page (the code paths are the ones `debug token` uses, which need the cable); the Toast itself on screen (the console is closed while it shows; its Notification is in the log); free memory with the console off, which only the serial port could say (the static figures above are the evidence); fetching a release's ELF, which needs a crash on a released version.

Still open in the milestone: #39, following the SD driver upstream.
+
+**Goal:** the device works on any network, the card can be trusted, and you can see what the system is doing. A side milestone, like G1.
+
+## Fixed IPv4, DNS and NTP (issue #7)
+
+Not every network has a DHCP server: a lab bench, a direct link to a router, a network where addresses are handed out by hand. Until now every Saved Network used DHCP, DNS always came from DHCP, and the NTP server was `pool.ntp.org`, hard-coded.
+
+**IPv4 only.** IPv6 isn't part of this, now or as a planned follow-up.
+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-05)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q105 | The IP setting is **per Saved Network**: *Automatic* (DHCP, as before) or *Fixed*, with its own address, prefix and gateway. New networks start Automatic. |
+| Q106 | The subnet is entered as a **prefix length** (`24`), with the mask shown next to it. |
+| Q107 | The **gateway is optional**: left empty, the device talks to its own subnet only. |
+| Q108 | **DNS is global:** two servers in Settings, used on every Fixed network. On Automatic networks DHCP's DNS is used, unless **"Always use my DNS"** is on. |
+| Q109 | DNS defaults: **9.9.9.9** (Quad9), then **1.1.1.1** (Cloudflare). |
+| Q110 | **NTP is global:** two servers in Settings, names or addresses, defaulting to `pool.ntp.org` and `time.cloudflare.com`. NTP servers offered by DHCP are used first. GNSS still outranks NTP for the clock. |
+| Q111 | What's typed is checked, host-tested in `lib/wifi`: an address is four numbers from 0 to 255; a prefix is 1 to 30; the address isn't the subnet's network or broadcast address; the gateway is inside the subnet and isn't the device's own address. Refusals say why. |
+| Q112 | Addresses are typed in the line editor, limited to digits and dots. |
+| Q113 | Enter on a Saved Network opens **its page** (IP, Address, Prefix, Gateway, Forget) instead of asking to forget it. Settings > Wi-Fi gains DNS servers, "Always use my DNS" and NTP servers. The Status row opens **connection details**: address, mask, gateway, DNS and NTP in use, and where each came from. |
+| Q114 | A change applies **at once**: the network in use reconnects with the new settings. No automatic way back; the keyboard still works if Wi-Fi is cut. |
+| Q115 | Console: `wifi status` shows address, gateway, DNS, NTP and their sources; `wifi ip <ssid> dhcp`, `wifi ip <ssid> <address>/<prefix> [gateway]`, `wifi dns <a> [b]`, `wifi ntp <a> [b]`. Debug Builds: `wifi ip … try 60` goes back to the previous setting after 60 s unless confirmed with `wifi ip keep`. |
+| Q116 | Left out: checking whether the address is already taken, and per-network DNS. |
+
+The SDK already allows 3 NTP servers and 3 DNS servers and can take NTP servers from DHCP (`CONFIG_LWIP_SNTP_MAX_SERVERS=3`, `CONFIG_LWIP_DHCP_GET_NTP_SRV=y`), so the framework isn't rebuilt for this.
+
+### Done when
+
+- A Saved Network set to Fixed joins with that address, mask and gateway, and the device reaches the internet (IRC, Gemini, NTP) through the DNS servers from Settings.
+- Set back to Automatic, it gets its address from DHCP again.
+- With "Always use my DNS" on, an Automatic network resolves through the servers from Settings.
+- The NTP servers from Settings set the clock.
+- Wrong entries are refused with a reason, in Settings and on the console.
+- Connection details show what's in use and where it came from.
+- Tested on `knbg-guests` with 10.39.39.12 (the device's DHCP lease) and 10.39.39.13 (free: the device is alone on that network).
+
+### Measured (2026-10-05 and 06, on `knbg-guests`)
+
+The network is 10.39.39.0/24, gateway 10.39.39.1; DHCP gives 10.39.39.1 as DNS and offers no NTP server.
+
+- **Fixed 10.39.39.12/24** (the device's own lease) and **Fixed 10.39.39.13/24**, gateway 10.39.39.1: the device joins with that address, DNS is 9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1 from Settings, and a Gemini page loads (name resolution, routing, TLS). On .13, .12 no longer answers.
+- **A wrong gateway** (10.39.39.254) on a 60 s trial: the device stops answering from another subnet, and comes back by itself with the previous setting.
+- **Back to Automatic:** 10.39.39.12 by DHCP again, DNS 10.39.39.1 from DHCP.
+- **"Always use my DNS"** on an Automatic network: DNS becomes 9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1; switched off, the device joins again and has DHCP's DNS back.
+- **NTP:** `pool.ntp.org` answers; set to `time.cloudflare.com` alone, that one answers within 25 s.
+- **Refusals**, on the console and in Settings: the network's own address, a gateway outside the subnet, a prefix of 31 or 99, 10.39.39.300, an unknown network, a DNS name where an address is needed, a host name with an underscore.
+- **In Settings:** the network's page pre-fills Fixed with the address, prefix and gateway in use; leaving the page applies it; connection details show each value and where it came from.
+- **Not tested:** NTP servers offered by DHCP (this network offers none), and a Fixed network with no gateway.
+
+### Work breakdown
+
+1. **IPv4 logic** (host-tested): parsing and formatting addresses, prefix and mask, the checks of Q111.
+2. **Storage:** the IP setting in each Saved Network; DNS, "Always use my DNS" and NTP in Settings.
+3. **Wi-Fi Service:** apply it when joining; DNS and NTP; `wifi status` and the console commands.
+4. **Settings:** the network page, the DNS and NTP rows, connection details.
+5. **Tests on the device**, recorded here.
+
+## System Monitor (issue #11)
+
+Every milestone so far was driven by measurements, heap floors, stack sizes, TLS dips, that needed a Debug Build and a computer. The System App shows them on the device, in any build.
+
+### Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q117 | An App of its own, **System**, in release builds too. Read-only. |
+| Q118 | Four views, switched with Tab: **Overview** (CPU per core, memory, network, battery), **Tasks**, **Memory**, **System**. |
+| Q119 | Sampled once a second. A task's share is its run time over the last second; a core's load is 100 % minus its idle task's share. |
+| Q120 | **History only while the App is open:** two minutes at one sample a second, about 1 KB. The system already keeps what matters afterwards: the lowest free heap since boot and each task's lowest free stack. |
+| Q121 | **Bytes are counted per service:** IRC, Gemini, the Debug Console and Firmware Updates add what they read and write to a shared counter. The network view shows the connection details, each service's bytes in and out, and the signal strength. |
+| Q122 | Tasks: name, core, share, state and lowest free stack, sorted by share; `s` cycles the sort (share, stack, name). **Under 512 bytes of stack left shows in the warning colour.** |
+| Q123 | Memory: free heap, lowest since boot, largest free block, and a two-minute graph of free heap **with the floors of Q86 drawn as lines** (55, 40 and 20 KB). |
+| Q124 | System: uptime and why it last started, firmware and both app slots, chip temperature and CPU frequency, battery voltage and percentage, SD usage and write faults, the radio's and the GNSS receiver's state. |
+| Q125 | `info` and `tasks` are split into a **snapshot** that the console and the App share; the arithmetic (shares from two samples, sorting, the stack warning) is host-tested. |
+| Q126 | Left out: acting on tasks, an event log, exporting snapshots to the card. |
+| Q127 | The main loop uses about 81 % of a core. The App shows it; fixing it is issue #40, not part of #11. |
+
+The App has five views, not four: Q121's network view is one of its own (Overview, Tasks, Memory, Network, System).
+
+### Measured (2026-10-06)
+
+- **Traffic counters are exact.** A Gemini fetch of a 164,970-byte page counts 164,986 bytes in (the page and its 16-byte header line) and 42 out (the 40-character URL and CRLF). A 1,797,760-byte upload counts 1,798,123 in for the Debug Console, commands included.
+- **The Memory view shows a TLS dip as it happens.** Starting IRC and a 165 KB Gemini fetch together: free heap falls from about 100 KB through the three floors to a low of 12.1 KB, then settles near 50 KB. That's the dip accepted in G1 (Q86).
+- **A run-time counter only moves when its task is switched out.** FreeRTOS adds to a task's run time at the context switch. The main loop takes the samples, and with core 1 to itself it's never switched out: its counter said 2 % while the core's idle task had 0 %. So the task that samples gets what's left of its core. With that: **the main loop uses 100 % of core 1 at rest** (issue #40 said 81 %, an average since boot).
+- **`tasks` on the console** sampled twice inside one command at first, a quarter second apart, and showed the loop at 1 %: it was asleep in the command's own wait. It now samples, lets the loop run for a second, and prints.
+- **Low stack, flagged:** `IDLE0` (232 bytes left), `IDLE1` (328 to 352) and `spk_task` (256 to 264), all the framework's own tasks.
+- **Cost:** 15.6 KB of flash for the App and the counters (1,742,723 bytes, release). Nothing while it's closed; about 2 KB of history and samples while it's open.
+
+## The main loop rests (issue #40)
+
+The loop polled the keyboard, ticked the Services, ran the consoles and redrew when needed, then came straight back: 50,000 passes a second, and core 1 100 % busy with the device idle and the screen off.
+
+Nothing needs that. The keyboard controller buffers key events; the consoles and the radio have their own tasks or interrupts; no Service asks for a tick more often than every 50 ms. So after each pass the loop now rests: **5 ms with the screen on, 20 ms with it off**, and not at all during a serial file transfer (`sd put`), which reads its bytes from the loop. Safe Mode's loop rests 5 ms too. Debug Builds have `loop spin on|off` to bring the old behaviour back for comparison.
+
+### Measured (2026-10-06, Debug Build, Wi-Fi connected, GNSS on, on USB power)
+
+| | Spinning | Resting |
+|---|---|---|
+| Passes a second, screen off | 50,160 | 50 |
+| Core 1 load, screen off | 100 % | 1 % |
+| Passes a second, screen on (Launcher) | 1,203 | 167 |
+| Core 1 load, screen on | 62 % | 10 % |
+| Chip temperature at rest, settled | 38.3 C | 34.3 C |
+| A 1.8 MB upload over the Debug Console | about 230 KB/s | 288 KB/s |
+
+- Still working at this pace: GNSS (a 3D Fix, 22 satellites), a Gemini fetch (52 KB), the upload read back by SHA-256, the Sweep (still 606 to 610 ms a pass), the radio's DIO1 interrupt.
+- **Not measured:** the current drawn (no meter on the battery line), and how typing feels on the real keyboard: a key now waits up to 5 ms for the loop, 20 ms if it's the one that wakes the screen.
+- **The radio's noise floor didn't move** (-97 to -99 dBm at 125 kHz either way): the spinning loop wasn't the source (issue #20).
+- **Not done:** real sleep. The framework is built without power management (`CONFIG_PM_ENABLE` is off), so an idle core only halts until the next interrupt. Automatic light sleep would need the framework rebuilt with it, Wi-Fi in modem sleep, and the USB serial port's behaviour checked. A next step if battery life calls for it.
+
+## The radio's noise: the GNSS receiver (issue #20)
+
+M3 found the LoRa radio's noise floor about 15 dB above what the chip hears alone, and that the source travels with the device. Which part? Debug Builds got a self-test, `lora noise test`: it changes one thing at a time, Sweeps the band eight passes (568 readings), records the median as the floor, and puts the thing back. It runs on the device by itself, because one condition switches Wi-Fi off, and `lora noise report` prints the result afterwards.
+
+### Measured (2026-10-06, indoors, on USB power, dBm at 125 kHz)
+
+| Condition | Floor |
+|---|---|
+| Antenna switched off (the chip alone) | -117 |
+| Antenna on, GNSS in standby | -106 |
+| Antenna on, GNSS running (as shipped) | -98 |
+
+- **The GNSS receiver, while it runs, raises the floor by 8 dB.** Three runs: -98 or -99 with it running, -106 in standby, every time. On LongFast (250 kHz) the Sniffer's own reading goes from about -93.5 to -101.5 dBm.
+- **It's the receiver working, not its serial line:** with one NMEA sentence a second instead of twenty (`PCAS03`), the receiver still tracking, the floor stays at -98.
+- **Nothing else moves it by more than 1 dB**, with GNSS running or in standby: the main loop spinning or resting, the CPU at 240, 160 or 80 MHz, Wi-Fi on or off, the screen on or off, the radio chip's regulator as DC-DC or LDO, its receive gain boosted or not.
+- **11 dB remain** between the antenna connected with GNSS quiet (-106) and the chip alone (-117). It comes in through the antenna and none of those switches changes it: the surroundings, or parts of the Cardputer that can't be switched off. Not separated: that needs another place, or the antenna on a cable away from the case.
+- M3's quick check had GNSS at "1 or 2 dB": it read one frequency for a few seconds, in a noisier spot. The median over the band is the better measure.
+
+### What the firmware does about it
+
+**Settings > Pause GNSS for LoRa**, off by default: while the LoRa radio listens or sweeps, the GNSS receiver waits in standby, and wakes when the radio goes back to sleep (a Fix again after about 7 s here). Never during a Track. The GNSS App says "GNSS is paused" meanwhile. `gnss quiet on|off` on the console.
+
+It's off by default because GNSS on by default was decided in M2 (Q58), and from M4 the radio listens all the time: then "pause while listening" means GNSS mostly off, which is a decision about position, the clock and Tracks, for M4's design round (issue #23).

+**Status:** phases 1 to 3 (home, Install and Downloads; the user guide; how-tos and the FAQ) and the devlog are live at roro9stack.net; phase 4 (the developer docs) is in a pull request. Issue #12.
+
+**Goal:** a public home for the project at **roro9stack.net**, separate from the blog (stories) and from Gitea (developers): what it is, how to install it, how to use each App, and the docs.
+
+The home page was designed on a canvas in a Claude chat (a dark and a light theme, built on the device's own 256-colour palette, pixel-notched corners, DM Mono and Hanken Grotesk). It is the starting point, not the final copy: it has to say only what the firmware does today.
+
+## What was found while planning (2026-10-06)
+
+- `roro9stack.net` already points at the server that hosts Gitea. Plain HTTP redirects to HTTPS; HTTPS has no certificate yet, which is the server's side to set up.
+- **Release downloads from Gitea carry no CORS header,** so a browser can't fetch the factory image from another origin as things are. Gitea is behind Caddy, which can add the header (below).
+- Zola can read JSON from a URL at build time (`load_data`), so the home page's "latest version" can come from the Gitea API.
+- There is no Gitea wiki: the design's "Wiki" links would 404.
+- The blog is published by pulling its repository on the web server and running `zola build`. The site does the same.
+
+## Decisions (design round 2026-10-06)
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Q175 | The site lives in this repository, in `site/`, so the documentation is built from `docs/`, `CONTEXT.md` and the README instead of being copied. |
+| Q176 | **Zola,** like the blog. The design becomes a template, its tokens CSS custom properties. Dark and light follow the visitor's setting, with a visible switch. No JavaScript except the flasher's. |
+| Q177 | Domain: **roro9stack.net.** The blog stays at experiments.twis.la. |
+| Q178 | **Publishing is the blog's way:** the web server pulls `main` and runs `zola build`; that part is the maintainer's. Changes reach `main` through pull requests as everywhere. **CI is split:** a dedicated `site` job builds the site (`zola build`) when `site/`, `docs/`, `README.md` or `CONTEXT.md` change, and the firmware tests and builds skip a change that touches nothing else. A change that touches both runs both. |
+| Q179 | Phases, each its own pull request: **1.** the CI split, the home page, an Install page with the browser flasher, downloads and the changelog. **2.** a user guide page per App. **3.** how-tos and the FAQ. **4.** developer docs generated from the repository. |
+| Q180 | **A browser flasher** (ESP Web Tools), **without copying the firmware.** Caddy, in front of Gitea, adds `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://roro9stack.net` (and `Vary: Origin`) to GET and HEAD on `/twisla/roro9stack/releases/download/*` and `/api/v1/repos/twisla/roro9stack/releases*`: both are public already. The Install page asks the API for the latest release in the browser, finds the asset ending `-factory.bin`, and gives ESP Web Tools a manifest built on the spot, so it offers a new release as soon as it exists, with no rebuild. The library is **vendored** into `site/static/` (Apache-2.0), not loaded from a CDN. The file's SHA-256 is shown on the page. Chrome or Edge on a desktop only; other browsers, and visitors without JavaScript, get the `esptool` steps on the same page. |
+| Q181 | Docs for the latest version only. The changelog is the Gitea releases, read at build time. |
+| Q182 | English only. |
+| Q183 | The FAQ starts from real questions: the README, and issues labelled `kind/docs`. |
+| Q184 | Fonts are **self-hosted** (no request to a third party). The hero keeps the design's illustrations, labelled as illustrations, and a section of **real device screenshots** is added. |
+| Q185 | **The site says only what the firmware does today.** Planned features are marked as planned, with their milestone. The mesh messenger is **planned**: the LoRa Scanner listens, nothing is sent. |
+| Q186 | Left out, each with its issue: a Gemini capsule mirror (#57), French (#58), docs per version (#59), search (#60). |
+| Q187 | The site has no version of its own. Contact is **contact@roro9stack.net,** and the issue tracker. |
+
+## The design, reviewed
+
+Kept as designed: the layout, the tokens, the nine App cards (their facts check out against the code: Probation 3 minutes, Safe Mode after 3 crashes, 60 seconds of typing before an update restarts the device).
+
+Changed before it ships:
+
+- **Install, not Download, is the first action.** Downloads are for developers; a visitor wants to try it.
+- **A "what you need" strip:** Cardputer ADV, the Cap LoRa-1262 (only the radio needs it), a microSD card, Wi-Fi. And a plain status line: the version, and what isn't there yet.
+- **The mesh card and the hero** no longer promise sending and reading mesh messages.
+- **The latest version is read from the API,** not typed.
+- **"Wiki" is replaced by Docs.** The updates section gains what v0.11.0 added: the device installs releases from the project's server itself.
+- **An independence line:** not affiliated with or endorsed by M5Stack or Meshtastic.
+- **No cookies, no analytics, no third-party requests,** said on the page (fonts self-hosted).
+- **The keyboard focus ring** is invisible on the notched buttons: `clip-path` clips an outline. Another way to show focus is needed.
+- **The wordmark SVGs** carry an embedded C2PA content-credentials block: stripped from the site's copies.
+
+## Done when (phase 1)
+
+- Pushing a change under `site/` runs the `site` job and not the firmware tests; a firmware change runs the firmware jobs and not the site's.
+- The home page renders in both themes, at phone width, with the keyboard, and says nothing the firmware doesn't do.
+- The latest version on the page is the latest release.
+- The browser flasher installs the latest release on a Cardputer ADV from Chrome (tried by hand), the page shows the file's SHA-256, and the `esptool` steps are on the same page.
+- A release published after the site was built is the one the Install page offers.
+- The home and Downloads pages make no request to another origin, and the Install page only asks git.twis.la.
+
+## Work breakdown
+
+1. **CI split:** a `site` workflow, path filters on the firmware workflow.
+2. **The skeleton:** `site/` with the tokens, fonts, base template and the theme switch.
+3. **The home page,** from the design, with the changes above.
+4. **Install and downloads:** the flasher with its manifest built in the page, the `esptool` steps, the changelog. Needs the Caddy headers on the Gitea host (the maintainer's side); the page is tested against them once they're in.
+5. **Checks,** recorded here.
+
+## As built (phase 1)
+
+- **CI is split.** `ci.yml` (the firmware) has `paths-ignore: site/**, docs/**, README.md, CONTEXT.md` on pushes to `main` and on pull requests. `site.yml` runs `zola check` and `zola build` with a Zola pinned by its checksum, then `site/tools/check_site.py`, when those files change. Gitea's own source (v1.24, read, not run against the 1.27 server) shows that path filters count as matched for tag pushes, so a tag still releases. A change that touches both runs both.
+- **The build output** goes to `public/` at the root of the repository, not into `site/`: `output_dir = "../public"` in `site/config.toml`, so `zola build` in `site/` and `zola --root site build` from the root agree, and git ignores `/public/`.
+- **The site** is in `site/`: `config.toml`, templates (base, home, install, downloads, 404), `data/` for the App cards and the screenshots' captions, `static/` (stylesheet, theme switch, fonts, wordmark, icons, real screenshots, the vendored flasher). `site/README.md` says how to build it and what the server needs.
+- **The home page** follows the design. Changed from it: the hero and the mesh card promise nothing that isn't built (the mesh messenger is a "planned" card), an Install button first, a status box, a "what you need" row, a section of real screenshots, the updates section says the device installs releases itself, an independence line and a statement about cookies and third-party requests in the footer, the latest version read from the Gitea API at build time, and the nav's Wiki replaced. The two hero drawings are generated by `site/tools/make_illustrations.py` (a port of the design's scripted shapes) as inline SVG.
+- **The focus ring.** `clip-path` clips outlines, so a focused notched control drops its notches and shows square corners and its ring.
+- **The Install page** asks the API for the latest release in the browser, builds the ESP Web Tools manifest as a blob, shows the version, size and SHA-256, and only ever hands the flasher a download from the project's own server for this repository. The flasher library (ESP Web Tools 10.4.0, Apache-2.0) is vendored, trimmed to the ESP32-S3. Fonts (DM Mono, Hanken Grotesk, SIL OFL) are self-hosted.
+- **The Downloads page** lists the last 30 releases with their files, read at build time.
+- **The wordmark SVGs** from the design carried an embedded C2PA content-credentials block; it is removed from the site's copies.
+
+## As built (phase 2, the user guide)
+
+- **`/guide/`** is a section of 11 pages, `site/content/guide/`, each with `template` from the section's `page_template` and an order from `weight`: the basics (keys, Launcher, Status Bar, first start, the card), then one page per App (LoRa Scanner, GNSS, Gemini, IRC, Wi-Fi tools, Notes, Storage, System), Settings and Updates. Pages with real screenshots list them in `extra.screens`, looked up in `data/screens.toml`.
+- **Facts come from the README, the milestone documents and the Apps' own source** (key handlers, labels, the Status Bar's drawing code), not from memory. Some wording was corrected against the source while writing: the Track folder is `/gnss/tracks`, the reasons a Track won't start, what the Status Bar shows.
+- **Not covered:** the mesh messenger (planned), the debug console and Debug Builds beyond a pointer to the README. How-tos and the FAQ are phase 3.
+
+## As built (the devlog)
+
+Not one of the planned phases: the blog's seven roro9stack posts, imported into `site/content/devlog/` and shown in the site's own style, with the **Blog** link in the navigation and the footer replaced by **Devlog**. The posts' text, tone and structure are unchanged; what changed:
+
+- **Links:** the posts' links to each other point to `/devlog/<same name>/`, and one link to an unpublished work-in-progress post became plain text. Each post keeps its old directory name, so the old URL `/<name>/` maps to `/devlog/<name>/`.
+- **The posts' parts** (the sign, the cast, the steps, asides, folded sections, diagrams, captions) are shortcodes in `site/templates/shortcodes/`, restyled in `static/css/devlog.css`: the site's palette, notched boxes, DM Mono and Hanken Grotesk. The two older posts about other subjects (a vinyl remote, a ZFS rescue) stay on the blog.
+- **The 17 diagrams are inline SVG**, and carried `<style>` blocks and `style` attributes that the site's Content-Security-Policy refuses. Their rules moved to `static/css/devlog-diagrams.css` (one block per diagram, plus colour classes for what the attributes did), and a diagram's minimum width is a class, not a style attribute. The Caddy policy needs no change.
+- **The diagrams' four colours** (red, green, yellow, accent) are defined for `.devlog` on the site's RGB332 grid, one value for each theme.
+- **Links between posts:** every post's reference to another ("the last post", "the first post", the milestone lists) is a link to it. `check_site.py` now also checks every link inside the site, and its #fragment: a broken one fails the Site job. External links are checked by `zola check` run by hand (without `--skip-external-links`, which CI uses); its only complaints today are line-range and heading anchors on Gitea, which Gitea resolves in the browser.
+- **An Atom feed** at `/devlog/atom.xml`, linked from every devlog page.
+- **Checked** in Chromium with the production CSP applied to every response: the index and the seven posts, at 1100 and 390 px, no policy violation, no broken image, no sideways scroll; `check_site.py` 24 pages, 0 problems.
+
+## Checks (2026-10-06)
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| The Site workflow's own commands, in a clean container with the pinned Zola | `zola check` clean, build and page checks pass |
+| `tools/check_site.py` | 4 pages, 0 problems: titles, descriptions, a language, every image with alt text, every local file referenced exists, nothing loaded from another origin |
+| Browser tests (Chromium, 16 checks) | All pass: no request to another origin from the home, Downloads and 404 pages; no horizontal scroll at 1280 and 390 px; a visible focus ring on a notched button; the Install page reads the latest release, shows its version, size and SHA-256, builds a blob manifest naming an ESP32-S3 factory image at offset 0, and loads only git.twis.la; a download on another host is refused; the real server (no CORS header today) makes the page fall back to the esptool steps |
+| The pages looked at | Home in dark and light, at desktop and phone width; Install; Downloads |
+| `esptool` against the real v0.11.0 factory image | An ESP32-S3 image, bootloader at 0x0, partition table at 0x8000: flashing at offset 0 is right. The command's syntax was checked, not a flash |
+
+**Not checked:**
+- **Flashing a real Cardputer from Chrome.** It needs the device on a machine with a browser; the page's flasher logic is tested, the flashing itself isn't.
+- **Caddy's headers** on the real server (not applied yet), and **HTTPS on roro9stack.net** (the name resolves, the certificate isn't there).
+- **The CI split on a change that touches only `site/` or `docs/`.** This pull request touches both the workflows and the site, so it runs both; the first docs-only pull request will show it.
+- Firefox and Safari rendering, screen readers, and a printed page.
+- The unverified wording in the Install text is kept to what's known: nothing about how long flashing takes, or what the screen shows in download mode.
+
+## As built (phase 3, how-tos and the FAQ)
+
+- **`/howto/`** has eight short recipes: when flashing fails, find your files on the SD card, install an update from the card, use a network without DHCP, record a Track, capture LoRa packets for Wireshark, read Gemini pages offline, and what to do when a connection says "not enough memory". **`/faq/`** is one page of questions with a list at the top. Both use the guide's templates (`guide-index.html`, `guide-page.html`, now generic: the page's parent section gives the eyebrow, the title and the pager).
+- **The FAQ starts from the README** and from the problems the project met (Q183): the flash troubles and the memory limit are the two that were hit most. The issues labelled `kind/docs` turned out to be design rounds for the mesh, not user questions, so they gave nothing to answer.
+- **Every step comes from the README, the milestone documents or the Apps' source.** The privacy answer says plainly that the device contacts the project's server once a day for the update check (on by default, one switch to turn it off).
+- **Linked from the guide's index,** not the navigation, which stays short.
+
+## As built (phase 4, the developer docs)
+
+- **`/dev/`** has four sections: **Debug Builds and the Debug Console** (first, and the longest: Debug Builds, the Console and its protocol, files and screenshots, driving the UI, crashes and Safe Mode, and the command reference), **Build, test and release** (the README's build, CI and flash sections, and how an update works, with the update file, the four ways in and Probation drawn), **Decisions** (the ADRs) and **Milestones** (the plans).
+- **Generated from the repository, not copied by hand:** `site/tools/gen_dev_docs.py` writes the ADR pages, the milestone pages, the README's sections, and the command reference, which is read from the firmware's own `help` text in `src/main.cpp` and then the README's table of what each command does. Zola can't read outside its own folder (not even through a symlink), so the generated pages are **committed**, and the Site workflow runs `gen_dev_docs.py --check` and fails when one is out of date; it now also runs when `src/main.cpp` changes, because the command list lives there. The server's `pull; zola build` is unchanged.
+- **Left out on purpose:** the M0 and M1 milestone documents and `CONTEXT.md` (the glossary) describe Wi-Fi monitoring, which the site does not publish. They stay in the repository.
+- **The Debug Console pages were written against the source and the live console:** the protocol (the token line, the banner, the 4 KB backlog, one client, 8 queued commands, 240-byte lines, `denied` after a second) and the replies shown were checked on a Debug Build, v0.11.0-3, over Wi-Fi. Not run: `crash abort`, `crash wdt` and Safe Mode, which are described from ADR 0005 and the code.
+- **Found while writing it:** the README's table lacked the `gnss` commands (rows added); piping commands into `rdbg.py` returns before the replies unless the input stays open (documented, not changed); `update install` on a Debug Build needs `force` (documented).

+
+## TL;DR
+
+- **The Storage App** (v0.9.0) browses the SD card: sizes, dates, copy, move, rename, delete, new folder, with a viewer for each kind of file the firmware writes. A copy runs in slices so the Logs keep being written, and says what it's about to delete before it does.
+- **Notes** (v0.10.0): plain text files in `/notes`, no save key. The note is written five seconds after the last key, on Back, and when the screen turns off. A power cut costs a few seconds, never the note.
+- **CI** on my own Gitea runner: the host tests on every push to `main`, both firmwares on every pull request, and every tag `v*` becomes a signed release. All fourteen tags from v0.1.0 to v0.11.0 now have one, each downloaded again and checked.
+- **The device installs releases itself,** from Settings, with no PC and no card. That's **v0.11.0**, the first release that can look for the next one. Getting there turned up the number in the title.
+- Three bugs with one shape: a subtraction of unsigned times that goes wrong when a stamp comes from the future.
+- 456 host tests, 60 more than last time. The code is [on my Gitea](https://git.twis.la/twisla/roro9stack/src/branch/main), and the plans with every measurement are [F1](https://git.twis.la/twisla/roro9stack/src/branch/main/docs/milestones/F1.md) and [R1](https://git.twis.la/twisla/roro9stack/src/branch/main/docs/milestones/R1.md).
+
+## Two milestones, and one wall
+
+After the [housekeeping milestone](/devlog/roro9stack-s1/) the backlog still said two things. The card holds everything the firmware writes, and the only way to look at it was a debug console command. And every release had been built and signed on my laptop and pushed to one device, with nothing published anywhere.
+
+So **F1** is files and notes, and **R1** is releases. Neither is glamorous. Both are the sort of thing a device needs before it's something other than mine.
+
+What I didn't plan for is that the story of both is memory. The Cardputer's ESP32-S3 has no external RAM: about 107 KB free after boot, and IRC's TLS session takes 41 of it the moment it connects. Every feature below was fine until I tested it with IRC up.
+
+## The cast
+
+{{ cast() }}
+
+## A card you can look at
+
+The Storage App is a file browser, with the decisions I'd normally take for granted made out loud in a design round:
+
+- **One item at a time, with a clipboard.** `c` copies, `x` cuts, `v` pastes, `r` renames, `d` deletes, `n` makes a folder, `i` says what it is. Back goes up a level. No multiple selection: that's [an issue](https://git.twis.la/twisla/roro9stack/issues/41) of its own.
+- **Folders first, then by name**, with `s` to sort by date or size. A folder holds at most 256 entries on screen and says "first 256 of 329" when it's bigger.
+- **Settings > Storage is gone.** Its usage figures, Clean-up and "Erase SD card" are the last row at the top of the card, behind a warning that they delete things for good.
+
+{{ figure(src="storage.png", alt="Four Cardputer screens at 2x in a grid. Top left: the Storage App at the top level of the card: captures (selected), gemini, gnss, irc, updates and wifi, each marked folder, then Maintenance, with 7.3 GB free in the corner and the key hints c x v:paste r:rename d:del n:new i s:sort. Top right: a box reading Copying f1test (2) with a progress bar at 1.8 MB of 8.0 MB and Back: cancel. Bottom left: the same list with an orange line at the bottom reading The firmware keeps its files in /captures. Bottom right: a box reading Delete f1test and its 300 files (2.5 KB)? It can't be undone, with Cancel selected beside Delete", width=976, height=556, landscape=true, full=true, caption=`The top of the card, an 8 MB folder being copied, a refusal with its reason, and the question before a delete. The folders named f1test are my scratch space for the checks.`) }}
+
+### Copying without starving the Logs
+
+Everything that touches the card runs on one task, because the SD driver isn't safe across tasks. The IRC Logs, a Track being recorded and a LoRa Capture write through that same task. A copy that holds it for twenty seconds makes all three wait.
+
+So an operation works in slices of about 150 milliseconds and puts itself back at the end of the queue, and the Logs get their turn in between. I checked it the obvious way: queued two Log lines in the middle of an 8.4 MB folder copy, which took 19.4 seconds (435 KB/s), and both were on the card afterwards. Cancelling a copy at 1.8 MB deletes what it had written and says "nothing was copied". Afterwards every file's size is compared with the original; not its contents, since the driver has earned back that much trust since [last time](/devlog/roro9stack-s1/).
+
+### The listing that took two seconds
+
+My first version listed a folder by asking the Arduino `File` object for each entry, then its size, then its date. Each of those looks the entry up by name again. A folder of 329 files took over two seconds to appear. The listing now reads the folder from FatFs in one pass, and it's on screen before the display has redrawn.
+
+### What can't be deleted
+
+Nothing is hidden, and almost nothing is protected. The exceptions are the six folders the firmware keeps its files in (what's in them is yours), `/gemini/cache`, and any file the firmware has open for writing right now: today's IRC Log, a Track, a Capture. I tried each from the console: `rm /irc`, `rm` on a Capture while it was recording, a folder into itself. Each came back refused with a reason. A Capture being recorded could still be *copied*, which is the point of having separate rules for "change" and "read".
+
+### Looking inside
+
+Enter on a file opens it by what it is.
+
+{{ figure(src="viewers.png", alt="Four Cardputer screens at 2x in a grid. Top left: big.log, 1.0 MB, opened at its end, the last line reading 20:59:59 <end> THE LAST LINE, with the hint Tab: hex t: top b: end.

+
+**Text** is read from the card as you scroll, a kilobyte around the screen at a time, so a 1 MB log opens at once, at its end. Scrolling back wraps the paragraph before again, so a file reads the same in both directions; that's a [small class](https://git.twis.la/twisla/roro9stack/src/tag/v0.10.0/lib/files/src/text_pager.h) with its own tests. **Hex** is what anything else gets. A **`.pcap`** shows the packets the way the LoRa Scanner lists them, a **`.gpx`** its point count, start, duration and distance, and an **`.ota`** is checked the way an install would check it: the same parser, with a sink that writes nothing. "Signed with the project's key, intact" is that parser's answer.
+
+### Two things I found on the way
+
+**The Storage Warning had never opened anything.** The project's own glossary said "selecting it opens Storage Clean-up". It had only ever been a Toast, and a Toast can't be selected. It now says "see Storage" and promises nothing more.
+
+**The Clock now sets the system time**, whatever its source. Files used to be dated only after NTP. I pointed NTP at an address that doesn't answer, restarted, and made a folder: it was dated 08:39, from the GNSS fix. A Track written before the clock was set still shows "-" for its date, which is honest.
+
+And a confession: a key script I ran against the device was one step off and renamed `/gemini/saved` to `saved2`, then copied it to the top of the card. I noticed within a minute and put it back (same 7 files, 53,798 bytes). The rule I took from it is to look at a screenshot before any key that renames, moves or deletes.
+
+## Notes that save themselves
+
+{{ figure(src="notes.png", alt="Four Cardputer screens at 2x in a grid. Top left: the Notes list for /notes, 6 notes, each under its first line with the date 2026-10-06: The note as it was saved (selected), Only the temporary file is, This is line 0000 of a not twice, Ideas and abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. Top right: the editor on shopping-list.txt, 66 B, saved: Shopping list, milk, and bread ad a longer line that wraps on the screen, with the cursor at the end. Bottom left: a box titled Unsaved copy reading A save of this note was cut short. Its copy has 79 B, the note 26 B, with the buttons Keep the note (selected) and Use the copy. Bottom right: full.txt, 16 KB, saved, lines reading This is line 0000 of a note made to be exactly as big as a note may be, and an orange line at the bottom reading This note is full: 16 KB", width=976, height=556, landscape=true, full=true, caption=`The list, under each note's first line; the editor; a note whose last save was cut short; and a note at its 16 KB limit.`) }}
+
+Notes are plain text files in `/notes`, listed by their first line. There is no save key, which was a decision, not an omission: **five seconds after the last key, on Back, on leaving the App, when the screen turns off, and before the device powers off.** A new note has no file until something is typed, and then it takes its name from its first line: `shopping-list.txt`.
+
+### Never half a note
+
+A save writes `shopping-list.txt.tmp`, checks its size, and puts it in the note's place. FAT can't rename one file onto another, so between the delete and the rename there's a moment when only the temporary file exists. If the power goes then, the next time the Notes list opens it finds the lone `.tmp` and puts it back under its name. If the note and a `.tmp` both exist, the save was cut short earlier, and opening the note offers the copy back (third screen above).
+
+I tried the power cut, as well as a device can fake one: typed, waited past the five seconds, typed more, and restarted it at once. The note had what had been saved, whole, and not the last few keys. The first runs looked as if the editor were dropping keys. It wasn't. The tool I use to send keys held lines back until the next one arrived, a bug in the tool, now fixed.
+
+### The 16 KB buffer
+
+A note is held in memory while it's edited, up to 16 KB, and a bigger text file opens read-only in the Storage App. I'd have liked to say "any size". Editing in place needs a structure that keeps the changes apart from a file you can't load, and I'm not starting that inside a first version. It's [issue #47](https://git.twis.la/twisla/roro9stack/issues/47), it's marked high, and the plan says it has to come in a later release.
+
+The first version of the 16 KB limit did something that looks harmless. It read the file into one string and copied it into the editor's buffer. Opening a full note with IRC connected **restarted the device.** The backtrace ended in `operator new`: with IRC up, the largest free block is 31.7 KB, two 16 KB blocks weren't going to fit in it, and on this chip a failed allocation isn't an error to handle. It's an abort.
+
+Now the buffer is reserved once when the note is opened, the file is read straight into it, and nothing typed afterwards ever makes it grow. The editor also refuses to open without a free block of 24 KB, and says so. With IRC connected and a full note open there are 55 KB free.
+
+## The same bug, three times
+
+In one day, the same mistake found me three times, and I'd like you to be spared it.
+
+**1. A panic nine seconds after boot.** The first boot of a new build crashed with `Operating mode must not be set while SNTP client is running`. The device was on Probation, so it rolled back to the previous build by itself, which is the safety net from [the OTA post](/devlog/roro9stack-ota/) catching a real bug. The cause: when Wi-Fi joins, the code stamps the time it last set up DNS and NTP, from `millis()`, and a few lines later compares *now* with that stamp, where "now" was read earlier in the same pass. The stamp is a few milliseconds in the future, an unsigned subtraction wraps to forty-nine days, and the setup ran twice. Starting SNTP is only queued for the network task, so about once in a dozen boots the second request landed before the first had run. It had been there since v0.7.0. [Issue #46](https://git.twis.la/twisla/roro9stack/issues/46).
+
+**2. Keys that went missing.** About one key in twenty-five sent through the Debug Console never arrived. The `key` command stamps the screen's idle timer from `millis()`; the power tick compares with its own, older time; the screen "turned off" for one tick, and the next key was swallowed as a wake-up. Keys from the real keyboard pass the loop's own time, so they were never affected. This also explains some "lost" keys from earlier sessions I'd put down to the screen waking.
+
+**3. A message that never showed.** In the Storage App, a footer message set by a key press in a pass looked 49 days old to the code that decides when to hide it.
+
+Same shape each time, and each fixed by comparing signed. A test now covers the one in the power policy. I haven't hunted down the rest of the pattern; there are more comparisons like it in the code, and the ones in the Apps only cost an extra redraw.
+
+## Releases that build themselves
+
+Until now a release was a tag on my laptop and an `.ota` pushed to one device. [Issue #5](https://git.twis.la/twisla/roro9stack/issues/5) asked for the real thing: push a tag, get a signed release on Gitea.
+
+I'd registered a runner on my own server, so the first question was what a job on it can do. A probe workflow answered: Ubuntu 26.04, Docker, git, no Node, no compiler. That ruled out the usual JavaScript actions, so the checkout is four git commands and the build is the same `scripts/ci.sh` that runs on a laptop.
+
+### The label that took three tries
+
+The runner's label was registered as `ubuntu://docker:ubuntu:resolute`, and Gitea took the whole string for the label's *name*. The runner wasn't running jobs in containers at all: it ran them on its own host, as a user in the Docker group. My first workflow, and the release of v0.10.0, were written for that.
+
+I wanted containers. The label became `ubuntu::docker://…`, which was also wrong, and then `ubuntu` with the image given properly. With a container per job and a named volume for the toolchains, the workflow installs PlatformIO into a plain Python image and mounts the volume as the cache. The first full run, on an empty cache, took 11.4 minutes: the framework is rebuilt with smaller TLS buffers. A pull request run now takes about 8.7 minutes, a release build alone 5.5.
+
+Gitea 1.27's API can't cancel a run that isn't finished. Twelve release runs, queued for the old label, stayed queued until I cancelled them in the web UI.
+
+### Putting the key in a secret
+
+CI has to sign, or a tag isn't a release. I decided to automate it: the signing key is now a repository secret, written to a file for the length of one step and removed after. [ADR 0008](https://git.twis.la/twisla/roro9stack/src/branch/main/docs/adr/0008-ci-signs-releases.md) is the part where I wrote down what that costs: **anyone who can run a workflow here can sign firmware every device accepts**, and the runner executes jobs on its own host's Docker. What limits it: the release step checks the signed file against the public key in the sources before publishing, so a wrong or swapped secret stops the release instead of producing one nobody can install. And a device only installs what it's told to, keeps it on Probation, and rolls back what doesn't hold.
+
+### The old tags
+
+Releases for the thirteen tags that existed went through the same workflow, each built from its own sources. The first attempt, on the old label, failed on v0.1.0: it predates the rebuilt framework and wouldn't link against the rebuilt one the cache held. The release script now restores the stock libraries for tags from before that, and the whole backfill passed on its second go. Then I downloaded all thirteen `.ota` files from the published releases and checked each checksum and signature from here: all good.
+
+Two things I measured and left alone. A CI build isn't byte-identical to one on my laptop for the same tag: same size, different bytes. Signing no longer depends on it. And the Debug Build is built by CI to prove it compiles but never published, because each one carries its builder's console token.
+
+### What runs when
+
+My first workflow rebuilt both firmwares on every push, and I said so: that's overkill. A push now runs only the host tests, about 45 seconds of them. A pull request adds both firmware builds, and the repository only merges a pull request one way, as "rebase, then a merge commit", so the commits in a branch keep their messages. And then a branch with an open pull request ran twice per push, once for the push and once for the pull request, so branch pushes now run nothing and the pull request is what runs.
+
+The README has badges now: the workflow's status, the latest release, and a coverage figure. **94.6%** is the share of `lib/` the host tests run, 3,193 lines. It leaves out `lib/SD` and all of `src/`, about 10,000 lines of Apps and Services that need the device and have no host tests. The badge says "lib coverage", and the README says what it doesn't cover, because a bare percentage there would be a small lie.
+
+## 836 bytes
+
+With releases published, [issue #6](https://git.twis.la/twisla/roro9stack/issues/6) was unblocked: **the device checks Gitea for a newer release and installs it.**
+
+It's in Settings > Firmware. *Latest release* checks the server and shows `v0.11.0 (new)` or `(current)`; Enter opens the release, with its version, date, size and the tag's message, and an Install button when it's newer. *Older releases* lists the last ten, and going back asks a different question. A setting, *Check for updates*, looks once a day, with Wi-Fi up and the clock set, and says `v0.11.0 is out: see Settings > Firmware`. It installs nothing by itself.
+
+{{ figure(src="updates.png", alt="Four Cardputer screens at 2x in a grid.

The device was pretending to run v0.9.0, so that the release of v0.10.0 counted as an update.`) }}
+
+### What's trusted
+
+The server's certificate is a Let's Encrypt chain, all ECDSA, and it changes every few months. Pinning it, as the Gemini App does for capsules, would ask a question at every renewal. The framework's bundle of well over a hundred authorities would let any of them vouch for my server. So the firmware carries the two roots the chain ends in, ISRG Root X1 and X2, 2.7 KB, and checks the chain and the name against them ([ADR 0009](https://git.twis.la/twisla/roro9stack/src/branch/main/docs/adr/0009-the-device-trusts-the-isrg-roots.md)). If the server ever moves to another authority, the next firmware has to come from the PC.
+
+That's the transport. What decides whether a download installs is still the Update File's own signature, checked after the first 160 bytes, before a byte is written to the slot. I tried the refusals against the real server rather than trusting that: a download cut at 800,000 bytes ("update file too short"), a byte flipped in the signature ("bad signature"), a byte flipped in the image, which downloads in full and is refused at the end ("image corrupted"). Each time the running firmware was untouched. And connections to github.com, example.com and four deliberately broken badssl.com hosts (expired, self-signed, wrong host, untrusted root) were refused.
+
+### The install
+
+The real thing, twice: once from the console and once from the screen. The device downloaded v0.10.0 from `git.twis.la`, restarted into it, and confirmed itself on Probation. Then I pushed my Debug Build back from the PC. The slot table afterwards read `v0.10.0, valid`. No card, no PC in the install. The full download took 46 seconds, about 40 KB/s, over a guest Wi-Fi at −65 dBm. I haven't looked into why it isn't faster.
+
+### Where the memory went
+
+Then I did what I'd done with every feature that day, and connected IRC first.
+
+{{ diagram(src="memory.svg", min_width=620, caption=`The lowest the free heap got, from a fresh boot each time, with Gemini's 20 KB floor marked. IRC's connection holds 41 KB of the 107 KB; a TLS connection to this server needs about 52 on top.`) }}
+
+A TLS connection to the server peaks at about **52 KB** of heap. I wondered if checking the certificate was the expensive part, and tried three modes: both roots, only the small ECDSA one, no verification at all. The lowest free heap was 56.3, 55.0 and 56.0 KB. Skipping the check would have saved nothing. The cost is the connection: record buffers and the handshake.
+
+With no IRC that leaves a comfortable margin. With IRC connected, 66 KB free, a plain check bottomed out at **3 KB**, and a list at 2.9 KB. And a full download, twice: the lowest free heap was 6,140 bytes the first time and **836 bytes** the second. The device didn't crash. It was entirely luck. My start floor was 55 KB, which IRC leaves you at 66 and passes; the floor was measuring the wrong thing.
+
+### Making room
+
+IRC steps aside. A check, a list or an install you asked for makes IRC say QUIT, free its TLS session, and reconnect when the Update Service is done. A TLS connection now needs 80 KB free to start, the 52 plus the 20 KB spare the Gemini milestone settled on, with some margin. The same worst case, IRC connected and a full download, now bottoms out at **38,316 bytes**, and IRC comes back afterwards: its byte counters kept growing.
+
+The daily check never does that. It's not worth taking IRC down for a look nobody asked for. So with IRC connected it waits for a moment when it isn't. I tried both: with IRC connected, 68 KB free, the daily check didn't run. Without it, the check ran by itself and announced the update. Its first message was `Update v0.10.0 available: see Settings > Firmware`, and the console printed it cut off at "Firmwa", because a notification holds 48 bytes. It reads `v0.10.0 is out: see Settings > Firmware` now.
+
+That's a real limit, and I'd rather state it than hide it: **with IRC connected for days, the daily check doesn't run.** Opening *Latest release* still does it. And a Debug Build shows the latest release but won't install it, since releases carry no debug console and installing one would take mine away.
+
+### The first release it could see
+
+v0.11.0 is the release that carries all this, tagged on `main` after the merge. CI took 14.1 minutes (the tests, both firmwares, then the signed release build and the upload) and published the usual four files. I downloaded the `.ota` again and checked the checksum and the signature from here: both good.
+
+The device was still on a v0.10.0-based build, so this was the first time it could see a release newer than itself without my pretending. I ran the daily check, with none of the knobs, and it announced `v0.11.0 is out: see Settings > Firmware` by itself. Settings > Firmware says `v0.11.0 (new)`. The release page, on this Debug Build, says it won't install it. Then I pushed the tagged Debug Build from the PC, and the same check now says the latest release isn't newer.
+
+{{ figure(src="release.png", alt="Two Cardputer screens at 2x side by side. Left: Settings, Firmware: Version v0.10.0-19-g4ef4134-dirty+debug, Status confirmed, Push to 10.39.39.12:3232, Latest release v0.11.0 (new) selected, Older releases, then On the SD card with two .ota files. Right: the release page, v0.11.0, Published 2026-10-06, 1.8 MB, then the start of the tag's message, v0.11.0: updates from Gitea (Settings > Firmware checks the project's server, lists the last ten releases and installs one straight into the inactive slot; a daily check announces, and at the bottom, cut off at the screen's edge, A Debug Build keeps its console: update it from", width=976, height=270, landscape=true, full=true, caption=`The real thing: a build older than v0.11.0 sees it as new, and a Debug Build says it won't install it. The sentence at the bottom is cut off by the screen, which is a bug.`) }}
+
+Two flaws showed up. That message overruns the screen's edge, and it needs to be shorter. And the README's release badge still said v0.10.0 afterwards: CI draws it when `main` is pushed, not when a tag is, so it catches up at the next push. Neither is fixed yet.
+
+### What I didn't verify
+
+- **The certificate's name, on its own.** I tried connecting by IP address, hoping for a valid chain with the wrong name. The server ended the handshake before showing its certificate, so that proved nothing. The library does check the name it connects to, and OpenSSL on the PC refused the wrong name against the same chain, but I haven't seen the device do it.
+- **A failed daily check retrying**, and **not announcing a version that already failed here**. Both have host tests. Neither was on the device.
