 - commands run with the same care as if you typed them into the repeater CLI directly
 - this is intended for local admin use on a trusted network
 - `start ota` releases the local HTTP redirect listener on port `80` so the OTA HTTP listener can take over without stopping the rest of the repeater services, regardless of whether the command is run from the web panel, serial CLI, or a remote companion/app CLI session
+- the `/app` Regions shortcut runs the existing MeshCore region commands in sequence: `region put au`, `region put au-STATE`, `region allowf au`, `region allowf au-STATE`, then `region save`

+## Radio Settings And Regions
+
+The `Radio Settings` section includes the community radio preset selector, path hash mode, and a `Region (Australia)` dropdown derived from the state groups used by the MQTT IATA selector. The dropdown is preselected only when the repeater already has a matching allowed `au-STATE` region. Pressing the region `Save` button creates and allows the base `au` region plus the selected state region, then persists the region map with `region save`.
