Reconciles develop to master's latest renovate values for deps bumped on the
2.7 line but never back-merged, so the develop->master 2.8 promotion (#10777)
doesn't regress them. Done as a value reconcile, not a cherry-pick: several
master commits are superseded (5 device-ui bumps, 2 ststm32 bumps), and
develop's stale archive/refs/tags/ URL form actually blocked renovate from
bumping these (the regex expects archive/<version>.zip).

master uses dbinfrago -- a fork divergence, not a version bump; not reconciled.
- platform-native digest: develop already at 61067ac (equal to master).
* fix: stop unexpected NodeNum regeneration from PKI key loss
A node's NodeNum is derived from its PKI public key
(my_node_num == crc32(public_key)), so it changes only when the keypair is
regenerated -- which happens only when a keygen path runs while
config.security.private_key.size != 32. Two paths could trigger that without
the user intending a new identity:
1. Boot: loadFromDisk() collapsed every non-success loadProto() result for the
config file into installDefaultConfig() (preserveKey=false), which memset()s
config and wipes the private key. loadProto() distinguishes DECODE_FAILED
(file present but undecodable/undecryptable) from OTHER_FAILURE (absent), so
a transient/corrupt read silently minted a new identity. A new
configDecodeFailed flag now gates the boot keygen and the boot config-save
directly (not via region, so it survives the userprefs/region overrides that
run later in loadFromDisk): identity is frozen, the unreadable file is left
intact for a later clean boot to recover, and the node boots radio-silent
(region UNSET, TX off). A genuinely-absent config still gets defaults + keygen.
2. AdminModule security SET: config.security = c.payload_variant.security
wholesale-clobbered the keypair, then regenerated whenever the incoming
private_key.size != 32. A client editing an unrelated security field without
round-tripping the private key would re-mint identity. The existing keypair
is now preserved when the incoming config omits it; first provisioning and
key import are unchanged. Intentional reset goes through factory_reset.
Native PlatformIO unit suite (Docker): 499/499 test cases pass.
* test: cover security keypair preservation; clarify load-failure comment
Addresses PR review feedback:
- Add native unit tests (test_admin_radio) asserting handleSetConfig preserves the
existing identity keypair when a security SET omits the private key, and applies a
full supplied keypair (key import). Guards against reintroduced NodeNum/keypair
regeneration. AdminModuleTestShim (now a friend) defers saves so the lightweight
harness doesn't saveToDisk an uninitialized node database.
- Clarify the non-DECODE_FAILED config-load comment: OTHER_FAILURE / NO_FILESYSTEM
cover an absent or unopenable file, not just first boot.
* Add ARCH_PORTDUINO_WASM build: meshtasticd in WebAssembly over WebUSB
Compile the full portduino firmware to WebAssembly (Emscripten) so a real node runs in a browser tab or headless Node, driving a LoRa radio over WebUSB through a CH341 — the desktop Ch341Hal path with its libusb backend swapped for a WebUSB one. The native/desktop portduino build is unchanged.
New build env under src/platform/portduino/wasm/ (excluded from the native build_src_filter): WebUSB libpinedio backend, config/FS/region/MAC/PhoneAPI glue, wasm setup/loop, JS WebUSB runtime, and build stubs. bin/build-portduino-wasm.sh runs a standalone cached emcc build to build/wasm/meshnode.{mjs,wasm}.
Six firmware sources gain #ifdef ARCH_PORTDUINO_WASM guards (single-threaded cooperative emscripten_sleep loop, continuous RX, US region default, std RNG, no-popen exec); none affect non-wasm builds.
* PortDuino WASM: CI build job, cross-platform libdeps, configurable adapter
bin/build-portduino-wasm.sh: auto-detect native-macos (macOS) vs native (Linux/CI) libdeps with a NATIVE_ENV override, and use the SAME env's Crypto with an XEdDSA-present guard. Drops the heltec-v3/Crypto borrow — the meshtastic/Crypto pin already ships XEdDSA; the native libdeps cache was just stale. No env pin change.
Add .github/workflows/build_portduino_wasm.yml: build the ARCH_PORTDUINO_WASM target in CI (ubuntu + emsdk, native libdeps) so it can't silently bit-rot; asserts build/wasm/meshnode.{mjs,wasm}.
src/platform/portduino/wasm: add wasm_set_lora_* setters so the JS host can configure any CH341 LoRa adapter (module, USB ids, DIO/TCXO, SPI speed, pins); wasm_config_apply falls back to the MeshToad defaults when unset.
* WASM: build as a first-class [env:wasm] via platform-wasm (retire emcc script)
Replace the standalone emcc build (bin/build-portduino-wasm.sh) with a normal
PlatformIO env, `pio run -e wasm`, using the new meshtastic/platform-wasm
platform (emcc/em++ + Asyncify, the WASM sibling of platform-native). The
portduino WebAssembly node is now built the same way as every other target.
- variants/native/portduino/platformio.ini: add [env:wasm] (platform pinned to
platform-wasm, board wasm). Translates the script's source set into a curated
build_src_filter, the ~30 EXCLUDE_* defines, and the lib set; defines
ARCH_PORTDUINO_WASM in-repo so correctness doesn't hinge on the platform's
board.json.
- extra_scripts/wasm_link_flags.py: the firmware-specific emcc *link* settings
(EXPORT_NAME, EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS, EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS, ASYNCIFY_IMPORTS).
PlatformIO feeds build_flags to compile only, so these must ride LINKFLAGS;
without it the WebUSB Asyncify seam and the JS host's runtime methods are
dropped (the _wasm_* exports survive only via EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE).
- PortduinoGlue.{h,cpp}: guard the yaml-cpp dependency out of the WASM build
(#ifndef ARCH_PORTDUINO_WASM around the include, emit_yaml/loadConfig/
readGPIOFromYaml). The browser node configures via the wasm_set_lora_* setters
and dead-strips the YAML path; this drops the host yaml-cpp build dependency
entirely. Native is unchanged (guards are inert there).
- portduino_glue_wasm.cpp / portduino_main_wasm.cpp: repair EM_ASM JS that a
formatter had mangled (!== -> != =, regex split) in the prior landing; the
emcc link succeeds regardless, so CI now runs `node --check meshnode.mjs`.
- .github/workflows/build_portduino_wasm.yml: build via `pio run -e wasm`
(artifacts under .pio/build/wasm/), trigger on the shared inputs the env
inherits (root platformio.ini, bin/platformio-*.py).
- NodeDB.cpp: drop the dead ARCH_PORTDUINO_WASM region-default branch (region
now defaults the same as native).
- Crypto renovate pins: add the missing gitBranch so they track upstream.
Output: .pio/build/wasm/meshnode.{mjs,wasm} (ES module, factory createMeshNode).
Verified: pio run -e wasm (against the published platform archive), node --check,
module instantiates in Node with all exports; native-macos + Docker native unit
tests (450/450) still pass.
* Fix name on the Piggystick
* wasm: pin platform-wasm at the GPL-3.0-relicensed commit
platform-wasm's LICENSE was always GPLv3 (matching this firmware), but its
platform.json/README still declared Apache-2.0 (mis-copied from platform-native).
That's fixed upstream in b83fa5b; bump the [env:wasm] pin to it. Build output is
unchanged (license metadata only). Verified: pio run -e wasm against b83fa5b.
* wasm: make reboot() actually restart the node (was a no-op)
In wasm the reboot path is live (main.cpp -> Power::powerCommandsCheck ->
Power::reboot), but Power::reboot's ARCH_PORTDUINO arm tore down SPI/Wire/Serial
and then called the no-op ::reboot() stub — leaving the node running with a dead
radio until the tab was manually reloaded. Triggers include an admin/phone
reboot, factory reset, the "reconfigure failed" path, and the 60 s stuck-TX
hardware watchdog (RadioLibInterface).
- Power::reboot(): add an ARCH_PORTDUINO_WASM arm (before ARCH_PORTDUINO, since
the wasm build defines both) that skips the host teardown and just calls
::reboot(). notifyReboot already let modules persist.
- ::reboot() (glue): hand off to the JS host — browser reloads the tab (NodeDB
state survives via IDBFS, same identity returns); headless calls Module.onReboot
if provided, else logs. Loose !=/== so clang-format doesn't mangle the EM_ASM JS.
- README: document the reboot handoff + the Module.onReboot hook.
Verified: pio run -e wasm + node --check (EM_ASM intact); native-macos unaffected.
* wasm: rename env to native-wasm and run it in the main CI matrix
Rename [env:wasm] -> [env:native-wasm] for consistency with the portduino
native family (native, native-macos, native-tft). The build dir follows to
.pio/build/native-wasm/ (artifact is still meshnode.{mjs,wasm}); the PIOENV
guard in extra_scripts/wasm_link_flags.py, the README, and the companion wrapper
move with it. The board stays `wasm`.
Also wire the build into normal CI: build_portduino_wasm.yml becomes a reusable
workflow (workflow_call) invoked as the `build-wasm` job of main_matrix.yml, so
the WebAssembly node is built like every other platform instead of on a separate
path trigger.
* native-wasm: auto-locate the Emscripten SDK (pre-build script)
`pio run -e native-wasm` failed with "emcc not found" whenever it was invoked
from a shell that hadn't sourced emsdk_env.sh — a VS Code task, an IDE build
button, a bare terminal. Add a pre: extra script that probes the usual emsdk
locations ($EMSDK_ENV, $EMSDK, ~/emsdk, ./.emsdk, the sibling companion
checkout), sources emsdk_env.sh, and imports the resulting environment so the
platform builder and emcc see PATH/EMSDK/EM_CONFIG. No-op when emcc is already
reachable (CI), silent when no SDK is found (the platform emits its own error).
* wasm: address PR review feedback
- js/bridge.js: import CH341 from "./ch341.js" (sibling in this layout), not
"../src/ch341.js" which doesn't resolve here.
- js/ch341.js: a zero-length transferIn while MISO bytes are still outstanding
now throws instead of breaking out with a partially-filled buffer — silent SPI
corruption becomes a loud error, matching the comment above it.
- libpinedio_webusb.c: webusb_set_auto_cs honors the AUTO_CS option (? 1 : 0)
instead of the always-on ? 1 : 1. Runtime behavior is unchanged — Ch341Hal sets
AUTO_CS=0 right after pinedio_init (RadioLib drives the active-low NSS); the
option just isn't set yet at init, so this now correctly defaults off.
- SX126xInterface.cpp: the RX-start error log now names the method actually
called (startReceive vs startReceiveDutyCycleAuto) instead of hardcoding the
duty-cycle name in the WASM branch.
* native-wasm: drop the emsdk bootstrap shim (now in platform-wasm)
The Emscripten SDK auto-location moved into the platform-wasm builder, so the
firmware no longer needs its own pre: extra script. Remove
extra_scripts/wasm_emsdk_env.py and bump the platform pin to the build that
carries the bootstrap. The wasm_link_flags.py post script stays — those exported
fns / runtime methods / Asyncify import seam are firmware-app-specific.
* wasm: use the canonical companion name (meshtasticd-wasm-node)
The companion repo was renamed meshtastic-web-node -> meshtasticd-wasm-node; fix
the stale name in the wasm README and bump the platform pin to the build that
promotes the canonical name in its emsdk auto-location.
* wasm: re-entrancy guard for the API/region entry points + flaky-open retry
Two robustness fixes for the browser node:
- Re-entrancy guard. The node is single-threaded + Asyncify: while setup()/loop()
is suspended inside a WebUSB transfer, the JS event loop is free, so a stray
DOM/timer callback that re-enters a wasm_* entry point starts a second Asyncify
unwind ("async operation already in flight" abort) or clobbers shared PhoneAPI
state (observed as a "PhoneAPI::available unexpected state" flood). Add a
g_wasm_in_firmware flag set around setup()/loop() (portduino_main_wasm.cpp); the
wasm_set_region / wasm_api_to_radio / wasm_api_from_radio / wasm_api_available
entry points now reject a mid-tick call (return busy) instead of corrupting or
aborting. The host must still call them between ticks — this is the safety net
the design lacked, not a substitute for the JS queue.
- CH341 open retry (js/bridge.js). First-connect WebUSB is flaky — the interface
is briefly unclaimable right after the grant, or held by a prior session,
giving a transient "Could not open SPI: -1". Retry the open with a short
backoff, closing the device between attempts so claimInterface starts clean.
* wasm: exclude emscripten-only sources from cppcheck
The `check` board matrix runs `pio check` (cppcheck) over all of src/,
including src/platform/portduino/wasm/. cppcheck can't parse the EM_ASYNC_JS/
EM_JS macros (Syntax Error: AST broken at libpinedio_webusb.c:39,
internalAstError) and these sources are not part of any checked board build
([env:native-wasm] is board_level=extra, compiled by the build-wasm CI job).
Suppress the wasm dir in suppressions.txt, the same way generated/ and .pio/
are already excluded.
* wasm: coalesce FS.syncfs so two never run at once
IDBFS syncfs is async; the explicit wasm_fs_sync (5s timer + post-save +
beforeunload) could overlap a prior in-flight sync, warning "2 FS.syncfs
operations in flight at once". Serialize: if a sync is running, mark a pending
re-sync and let the in-flight one chain it on completion — at most one in flight,
trailing writes still flushed. (Companion drops IDBFS autoPersist so this is the
single persistence path.)
* wasm: silence false-positive SAST on the emscripten glue
- extra_scripts/wasm_link_flags.py: restore the trunk-ignore-all(ruff/F821,
flake8/F821) header every other SCons extra_script carries; Import/env are
SConscript-injected globals, so ruff/flake8 flag them as undefined.
- .semgrepignore: exclude src/platform/portduino/wasm/js/ (browser WebUSB glue,
not part of the firmware binary). The unsafe-formatstring rule false-positives
on its benign retry/diagnostic console logs.

(cherry picked from commit c7f17a80b26a4a0ef151f5c1ba9342e7e1e205ed)
Forward-port of #10754 and #10757 from master (2.7) into develop, so the
develop->master 2.8 promotion (#10777) doesn't drop them.
#10754: PhoneAPI no longer walks the filesystem to build the file manifest on
node-info-only config requests (SPECIAL_NONCE_ONLY_NODES), which never consume
it. getFiles() is now bounded (default 64 entries, depth 3) via collectFiles(),
takes an optional wasLimited out-param, and reserves capacity with a bad_alloc/
length_error fallback. The manifest vector is freed via swap (releaseFilesManifest).
#10757: getFiles()/collectFiles() now guard against empty file names returned by
the Adafruit LittleFS nRF52 glue (issue 4395).
Ported by hand rather than cherry-picked: master had reflowed FSCommon.cpp to a
different brace style (every line conflicted), #10754 already subsumes #10757,
and develop carries a MESHTASTIC_EXCLUDE_FILES_MANIFEST path (nRF54L15) that
master lacks. The exclude path is preserved and now also short-circuits + frees
the manifest. Verified: native Docker suite 448/448, clang-format clean.
* Added lora region and preset maps
* Protos
* Address PR review feedback
- Log (and break/skip) when the region preset map exceeds its array bounds
instead of silently dropping regions
- Derive test bounds from the generated nanopb array sizes via sizeof()
instead of hard-coded magic numbers
- Fix want_config sequence comment (missing comma, STATE_SEND_MODULECONFIG)
- Specify a language on the spec's fenced code blocks (markdownlint MD040)
* Fix want_config stall: handle STATE_SEND_REGION_PRESETS in PhoneAPI::available()
available() had a separate per-state switch that wasn't updated for the new
state, so it returned false ('unexpected state 5') and getFromRadio() was
never called - the config handshake stalled after metadata and the client
timed out. Verified via the native simulator integration test.
* NimBLE params overhaul and try-fix for incompatible bond cleanup
* Potential fix for pull request finding
Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Address PR review: remove dead clearNVS(), defer bond-purge log below init
- Delete unused clearNVS() (no callers; should have been removed in #10264).
- Move purgeIncompatibleBleBonds() after the "Init the NimBLE" log so bond-cleanup output doesn't appear to precede module init; it still runs before BLEDevice::init() reads the store.
* Update MAX_SATELLITE_NODES and WARM_NODE_COUNT definitions for ESP32-S3 PSRAM support

* Fix PKC on portduino sim by working around region blocks keygen and packet length
* Reserve Compressed framing overhead in sim loopback capacity check
The sim loopback re-encodes the Compressed wrapper back into
decoded.payload.bytes (the same 233-byte field its data is copied from),
so the carried bytes must leave room for protobuf framing. Checking
against sizeof(c.data.bytes) (233) let near-max payloads overflow
pb_encode_to_bytes(), which returns 0 and silently sends an empty
loopback payload. Cap at sizeof(decoded.payload.bytes) minus the
worst-case Compressed framing (meshtastic_Compressed_size - data size)
for both the ciphertext and plaintext paths.
Addresses Copilot review feedback on #10730.

* Add LTO support for nrf52840 while preserving interrupt handlers
* nrf52840: enable whole-image LTO on all targets via nrf52_base
Moves -flto + the nrf52_lto.py exclusion middleware from the rak4631 env
(771018ca8) up to [nrf52_base], so every nrf52840 target inherits it.
nrf52_lto.py keeps the interrupt handlers out of LTO (framework core +
TinyUSB USBD_IRQHandler) -- they're referenced only from the asm vector
table, so whole-program LTO would otherwise drop them and the chip hangs.
HW-validated: RAK4631 (SX1262, -60KB) and muzi-base (LR1121) both boot and
init their radios. Build-verified on canaryone (fresh board, base-inherited).
Caveat: the RAK "1-Watt" variant's radio does not tolerate global-LTO
(SX126x init fails); it shares the rak4631 binary, so keep that hardware on
src-only or split it into a separate target.

* nrf52840: move -fmerge-all-constants to nrf52_base (all targets)
It had been trialed on rak4631 only; it's a general image-wide flag (the
same one stm32 uses globally, ~0.7KB), so move it up to [nrf52_base] next
to -flto so every nrf52840 target gets it instead of just rak4631.

get_abspath() returns backslash-separated paths on Windows, so the

backslashes with forward slashes before matching. No-op on macOS/Linux.

* macOS: enable CH341 LoRa-hardware path — fix serial truncation, document setup
Verified on Apple Silicon with a CH341A USB-SPI bridge (VID 0x1A86,
PID 0x5512) wired to an SX1262 (Meshstick variant) that the existing
`pine64/libch341-spi-userspace` lib_dep works on macOS as-is — Apple's
bundled CH34x driver only matches the CH340 *UART* variant
(PID 0x7523), so the CH341A's interface 0 is left unclaimed and
libusb opens / configures / claims it directly via IOUSBHostInterface.
End-to-end test: meshtasticd boots, libusb claim succeeds, SX1262 init
returns 0, TCP API serves the meshtastic CLI's --info / --sendtext flow.
Two changes:
1. **`PortduinoGlue.cpp:497`**: pass `sizeof(serial)` (= 9) instead of
the literal `8` to `Ch341Hal::getSerialString()`. The function in
`USBHal.h:61-68` treats `len` as buffer size and reserves one slot
for the null terminator (`bytesCopied = (len - 1) < 8 ? (len - 1) : 8`),
so passing 8 produced a 7-char serial — which then broke the
`strlen(serial) == 8` check at line 502, skipping the auto-MAC
derivation from serial + product string. On Linux this was masked
by the BlueZ HCI MAC fallback in `getMacAddr()` at lines 139-157,
but on macOS that fallback is `__linux__`-guarded so the serial path
is mandatory and the truncation left `mac_address` empty, causing
the daemon to exit with `*** Blank MAC Address not allowed!`.
2. **`variants/native/portduino/platformio.ini`**: expand the
`[env:native-macos]` comment block with a "Real LoRa hardware on
macOS" section. Documents:
- Why no upstream library change is needed (Apple kext targets
CH340/UART, not CH341A/SPI; libusb's `#ifdef __linux__` skip is
correct for macOS in this case).
- How to point `meshtasticd` at an existing platform-agnostic
`bin/config.d/lora-*.yaml` for CH341 hardware.
- The auto-MAC-derivation contract (now working with this fix).
- `ioreg` and `LIBUSB_DEBUG=4` diagnostic recipes for the failure
mode where a third-party WCH `CH34xVCPDriver` *would* claim
interface 0 (`kmutil unload -b <bundleID>` workaround).
No upstream library forks, no PR chain, no additional lib_deps —
the existing `pine64/libch341-spi-userspace` + libusb-1.0 stack does
the right thing on macOS already.

Two changes:
1. **`PortduinoGlue.cpp:497`**: pass `sizeof(serial)` (= 9) instead of
the literal `8` to `Ch341Hal::getSerialString()`. The function in
`USBHal.h:61-68` treats `len` as buffer size and reserves one slot
for the null terminator (`bytesCopied = (len - 1) < 8 ? (len - 1) : 8`),
so passing 8 produced a 7-char serial — which then broke the
`strlen(serial) == 8` check at line 502, skipping the auto-MAC
derivation from serial + product string. On Linux this was masked
by the BlueZ HCI MAC fallback in `getMacAddr()` at lines 139-157,
but on macOS that fallback is `__linux__`-guarded so the serial path
is mandatory and the truncation left `mac_address` empty, causing
the daemon to exit with `*** Blank MAC Address not allowed!`.
2. **`variants/native/portduino/platformio.ini`**: expand the
`[env:native-macos]` comment block with a "Real LoRa hardware on
macOS" section. Documents:
- Why no upstream library change is needed (Apple kext targets
CH340/UART, not CH341A/SPI; libusb's `#ifdef __linux__` skip is
correct for macOS in this case).
- How to point `meshtasticd` at an existing platform-agnostic
`bin/config.d/lora-*.yaml` for CH341 hardware.
- The auto-MAC-derivation contract (now working with this fix).
- `ioreg` and `LIBUSB_DEBUG=4` diagnostic recipes for the failure
mode where a third-party WCH `CH34xVCPDriver` *would* claim
interface 0 (`kmutil unload -b <bundleID>` workaround).
No upstream library forks, no PR chain, no additional lib_deps —
the existing `pine64/libch341-spi-userspace` + libusb-1.0 stack does
the right thing on macOS already.
