- New Discover app: active NODE_DISCOVER sweep -> signal-ranked nearby list, tap-to-add-contact, GPS wardriving log (SD CSV) + signal-coloured coverage overlay on the map. Board-agnostic.
- T-Display P4 TFT-LCD (HI8561) variant support (WADA_P4_LCD build; AMOLED bin untouched).
- Wire the Attaky Core board (#158, @attakygit) into the release matrix + web flasher.

The V4-R8 uses an ESP32-S3R8 (8 MB OCTAL PSRAM) which claims GPIO33-37, so
Heltec moved every control signal off them and the Expansion Kit V2 rebuilt the
display/touch/SD block onto a hardware-SPI bus:
Vext 36->40 (active-LOW) . GPS_EN 34->42 . LED 35->46 . ADC_Ctrl removed
TFT (LovyanGFX HW-SPI): MOSI=15 SCK=16 MISO=45 CS=47 DC=48 RST=21 BL=44
touch (CHSC6x, shares board I2C 17/18) . micro-SD (shared TFT SPI, CS=3)
The build defines HELTEC_LORA_V4_TFT too, so it reuses all the V4 touch-UI code;
HELTEC_LORA_V4_R8 gates only the deltas. 8 MB enables the on-device web browser
(CAP_WEB_BROWSER) and the SD card (CAP_SD). Also wires the board into the release
+ web-flasher pipeline (release.sh, gen-flasher-meta.py, the flasher picker).
UNTESTED — no V4-R8 hardware yet. Pin sources: Meshtastic heltec_v4_r8 variant,
Heltec V4-R8 pinmap, and the Expansion_board_V2.03 schematic. All three touch
envs build clean; V4/T-Deck unregressed. On-device TODO: CHSC6x shared-Wire on
17/18, SD_CS=3, and the V2 PAM8904 buzzer.

Both new S3 boards are installable from the browser now: release.sh
builds and ships their bins per channel, gen-flasher-meta emits their
esp-web-tools manifests, and the site gets install cards for both.
The cards are pinned to the beta feed (with a note) until the first
stable promote that includes their bins; the wmSetChannel comment says
how to unpin then. beta_38's beta feed and GitHub release carry the
new bins retroactively.

New: stable/test update channels with an opt-in "Get test builds (beta)" toggle on
OTA devices (switches both the update check and what you install); experimental
opt-in MQTT bridge (consent-gated, payload encryption, direct messages off by
default); Portugal (Narrow) region preset (#74); saved-contacts counter in the
Contacts overflow menu (#72).
Fixed: the signal probe is now strictly zero-hop so a repeater can't re-flood it;
the contact list sorts before capping so the most relevant contacts show, with a
"+N more — search to narrow" footer (#73); the blocked-users list opened from
Contacts shows the two-line title bar with a back button; the Contacts overflow
popup fits the screen again.
Also lands the two-channel release tooling (scripts/release.sh stable/beta modes +
gen-flasher-meta channel arg), the docs site, and the MQTT reference decryptor.

The web-flasher manifest referenced https://firmware.wadamesh.com/latest/<board>-merged.bin
— a stable filename cached 4h (Cache-Control max-age=14400) and overwritten in place each
release. version.json (max-age=300) advertised the new tag within minutes, but the latest/
bin could keep serving the PREVIOUS beta's bytes per-POP for up to 4h, so a user flashing
right after a release could install the old version (reported: flashed beta_11, device showed
beta_10). Point the manifest at the immutable releases/TOUCH/<tag>/ bin instead — that URL is
never overwritten so its cache is always correct, and the 5-min manifest TTL propagates the
new path fast.

The esp-web-tools manifest carried a frozen version:beta_1 while the rolling
/latest/ bins moved on, so the web flasher always said beta_1. Fix:
- scripts/build/gen-flasher-meta.py emits version.json (tag + notes) + per-release
manifests (version=tag) into /latest/; release.sh + the CI workflow run it, so
the metadata rolls with every release.
- the site points the install buttons at the VPS manifests and renders a live
'What's new in <tag>' block from version.json.
- drop the frozen static site manifests.
