Spectrum: stat tiles (peak, floor, our channel, busy), plot and waterfall drawn
at screen size (the lv_chart and zoomed waterfall were the page's render cost),
dark-to-yellow waterfall, peak hold, our-channel marker, Band/Channel and
Live/1 min/10 min chips. RF Monitor 1.4 (tiles, filled chart, typed feed, packet
detail card; the old type table did not match MeshCore payload types) and
Airtime 1.6 (big figure, tiles, duty line, rx/tx split).
Lua SDK: ui.panel, bold labels and a size-24 figure font, colors.warn/border,
app.on_audio (fires with the screen off), read-only wada.sd.list and sd: audio on
the SD_MMC boards (P4, Tanmatsu, Wio L2), caps panel/audio_events/epaper, a
"music" icon and an "audio" Store requirement. button:set() no longer writes
label fields into the button object (heap corruption, every earlier firmware).
The SDK page's input table described events the firmware never sent.
Music 1.0 (Store app): plays MP3/WAV from the card's Music folder, shuffle,
repeat, keeps going through the list with the screen off. Verified on the
T-Display P4 end to end.
Store: the update check also fetches the app catalog and badges the Store tile
with the number of installed apps that have a newer version. Baked Lua apps are
raw-deflated and inflated by the S3 ROM (14.6 KB back on the V4); the V4 language
table keeps only texts of apps it can run.
Fixes: the SD-card notice no longer fires when the card mounts fine (#667); the
Control Center clock keeps time while open (#666); M9 keyboard brightness (#664);
the battery widget's number no longer sits on a ring too small for it (Discord);
M9 shortcuts doc follows #669's composer order. New texts in all 14 languages.

Contact nicknames: TouchPrefsStore nick blob (48 x 38 B), display-only lookups
(contactShownName, threadShownName, senderShownName), Contact options >
Nickname on the shared text prompt (an empty OK clears it).
Control panel restyled in the launcher's tile language, with a Battery saver
tile; keyboard tooltips (navSetTip), an amber cursor and touch long-press
tooltips (the T-Deck touch read hid them on every poll).
T-LoRa Pager: M/C/A/S on Home, H/S tap and hold, Backspace = Back, N = jump to
new, held Enter = long press, per-tab focus memory, Power off confirm; LVGL
-O2 and IRAM, INT-gated keyboard, idle yield, status-bar setter guards, instant
tabs; PagerGps (u-blox software standby for rests, GPS rail cut when off),
panel sleep, amp off at boot, power-off parks the radio (NSS held), GPS, panel
and keyboard light.
Fixes: the DM duplicate check keys on the attempt and a path reset clears it,
the direct timeout masks the packed path byte, web remote hops (#636);
changelog over http (#638); Lua SDK send budgets and duplicate guard (#606);
GPS speed note (#613, CAP_GPS_BAUD_AUTO); emoji chat icon (#640); default
wallpaper (#626).
Heltec V4: Tetris, 2048 and Breakout unseeded and the built-in Lua stripped of
comments (identical bytecode), 27 KB freed; the baked language table is pinned
to beta_92's files (scripts/build/lang-pin-beta92) so it still fits.
Translations: 39 new keys in 14 languages, language store v24.
Site: theme, dark mode, aurora and guide refresh, SDK send limits, nicknames.

Home is a grid of arrangeable widgets (24 kinds, presets, a layout per
orientation, Lua app widgets via wada.widget); Unread, Chat and Mentions
get a large size. Theme > Background puts an aurora (still by default, or
moving), a colour, a picture or nothing behind every screen, with glass
cards and a smoked-glass top bar. A GPS icon in the bar, a GPS battery
saver (u-blox GNSS stop/start where there is no power switch), and a
battery saver that no longer waits for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to be off.
Also: navigation bar position, every settings page on the redesign's
cards, a faster app drawer, slower screensaver drift for burn-in, text
wrapping at spaces only, the V4-R8 Store Apps tab, and SDK Test marked
extended-SDK only (keeps the 2 MB V4 at 99.8%).

cvhviz. The M9's magnetometer was documented on the board and nothing had ever
talked to it. The driver is written from the datasheet's register map rather
than SensorLib, whose setOutputDataRate() writes the ODR into the OSR bits, and
the axis orientation is measured on hardware at four headings rather than
inherited from a declaration Meshtastic marks unverified and never uses. The
+-32 G range looks absurd for a 0.5 G planet until you measure the board's own
hard-iron bias at about 7x Earth's field.
Also carries several fixes found while testing on hardware: every Lua app opened
on a white page on keypad-nav boards (the focus highlight harvested the app body
as a target and reverse-video filled the page), a use-after-free in the Lua net
worker when an app closed mid-request, an unfreed http_get buffer, canvas pixel
buffers GC'd while LVGL still drew from them, one RTC I2C read per contact, and
map re-open costing 2.5 s on every visit.
Three changes on merge:
- The map tile-keep gate read `total && total < 4 MB`, so a board reporting
zero PSRAM -- the most constrained case there is -- landed on the roomy side
of the test and kept its tiles. Dropped the non-zero guard.
- gpscompass is 55 KB of Lua, more than every other app combined, and it wants
a magnetometer the seeded boards do not have. The author deliberately left
it out of lua_builtin.h; that intent now lives in the catalog as
"seed": false rather than in whether someone remembers to regenerate, since
the generator runs from a pre-build hook as of this branch.
- consoleModeToggleCb was defined inside a !HAS_TANMATSU region while the
Settings row that binds it compiles on every board, so the Tanmatsu link
broke. Moved it out. The console boot path is gated on CAP_CONSOLE alone, so
the switch now does what it says there too.
Built on all seven S3 envs plus both ESP32-P4 targets.

pisti87 reported a long list of text that stays English whatever the language,
and said the strings were in his language file and still did not appear (#257).
Both halves are true, and the reason is the audit.
The extractor only ever recognised TR("literal"). Three very common shapes were
therefore invisible:
mk_row_btn("Reload tiles in view", cb) // helper TR()s its parameter
for (auto& r : rows) TR(r.label) // literal lives in a local table
TR(contactsSortOptName(m)) // helper returns one of several
All three translate correctly at runtime, so the source looks properly wrapped.
But the literal at the call site was never emitted as a key, so it never entered
a .lang file, so no translator could ever supply it -- and adding it by hand
did nothing, because the audit's key list is what the files are checked against.
That is 51 strings across the map options sheet, the sort sheets, the contacts
filters and the home launcher.
The audit now understands all three, plus tr("...") in the Lua apps, and the
newly visible keys are in all thirteen files as placeholders so translators can
see them. 1017 keys, up from 966.
Four strings were genuinely raw and are now wrapped: the reader's idle status,
the Discover empty feed, the crash-report export button and Paste (move/copy).
Lua apps had no way to translate anything at all, so every built-in was hard
English regardless of the device language. wada.sys.tr() gives them the same
table the interface uses; airtime 1.4 is the first to use it, with the
`sys.tr or identity` fallback so it still runs on older firmware.
Two more instances of the drift this issue is really about:
- gen-lua-builtin.py read out/firmware/apps/, which nothing writes -- the
deploy rsyncs deploy/apps/ straight to the VPS. So the mirror was stale and
the two apps added in beta_68 were never baked in: boards that cannot reach
the Store shipped without them. It reads the canonical directory now, and
regenerates from the same pre-build hook as the language table.
- Baking a row whose translation equals its key does nothing, since TR()
returns the key on a miss. Skipping them takes the header from 1.11 MB to
939 KB and gives the V4 back 16 KB of flash, which matters at 89%.

Kaj's idea, and better than restoring the deleted native pages: the Lua host
already had the mechanism. luaAppLaunchFile() is file-first with an embedded
fallback — it just never had anything seeded into it.
gen-lua-builtin.py generates src/ui-touch/lua_builtin.h from out/firmware/apps/,
the same .lua the Store serves, as C++ raw strings (Snake, RF Monitor, Airtime;
10 KB). luaStoreScanInstalled() now wraps the filesystem scan and seeds any
built-in the scan did not find — after it, so a downloaded copy keeps its own
entry and version, and seeding still happens when there is no filesystem at all.
Tiles, the drawer and the Store's Installed list all work through the existing
paths; launching passes the embedded source, and a downloaded file still wins.
CAP_BUILTIN_LUA_APPS is ON for the V4 only. Flash: V4 85.5% -> 85.8%,
T-Deck 75.5% and Pager 78.1% unchanged. No RAM cost.
So the V4 now has the apps and all 13 languages out of the box; the only thing
it loses without a working Store is browsing for new ones.
