Field evidence reframed the chat-save failures: a soft reboot wrote the
FULL 515 KB ring to the same card without trouble, while the periodic
worker autosave could not even create the file. That rules out a
size/bad-region card problem and points at contention: the SD VFS was
mounted with max_files=3 (set when the card only served the file
manager), but the card now serves telemetry log rewrites (2 handles),
battery log rewrites (2), the history flush, tile reads/writes, WAV
chimes and the About readout concurrently -- the flush's open("w") loses
that race with ENFILE while the card itself is fine, and at reboot
(everything quiesced) the same write sails through. All four mount
sites now use max_files=6 (~+1.7 KB while mounted).
To make the next such failure self-explaining on a device with no
readable serial, the About Chat-store line now includes the failure
stage and errno ('FAIL x3 @o e23'): o/h/b/r = open/header/body/rename;
errno 23/24 = VFS file table full, 28 = card full, 5 = card I/O error.
The header-write failure path also joins the failure accounting (it
returned early without counting before) and cleans up its temp file.
Builds verified: all five SD-relevant touch envs.

A real touchscreen UI for your mesh radio. · open source · GPL-3.0
Touch-UI MeshCore companion-radio firmware for the LilyGo T-Deck / T-Deck Plus and Heltec V4 + TFT (ESP32-S3).
An LVGL touch UI — map, chat, contacts, channels, settings — split out of
meshcomod. The app depends on a
MeshCore fork via PlatformIO lib_deps.

Architecture
This repo holds only the app: the companion_radio glue, the ui-touch
LVGL UI, the two boards' glue/variants, and platformio.ini. The MeshCore
core is not vendored here — it's pulled as a library via lib_deps from the
ALLFATHER-BV/meshcomod monorepo
(the same repo as the non-touch firmware), pinned by a lean source-only core-*
git tag. The touch-app files this repo owns (TouchPrefsStore, WifiRuntimeStore,
the transports, …) are dropped from the lib via -DMC_VENDORED_TOUCH_APP so they
aren't compiled twice. The build is byte-identical to the original in-tree
meshcomod firmware.
Build
PlatformIO pulls the core fork and all libraries automatically:
pio run -e heltec_v4_tft_companion_radio_usb_tcp_touch # Heltec V4 TFT
pio run -e LilyGo_TDeck_companion_radio_touch # LilyGo T-Deck
# or just `pio run` to build both
Flash with the NVS-preserving 4-component chain (bootloader / partitions /
boot_app0 / firmware at 0x0 / 0x8000 / 0xe000 / 0x10000) so saved Wi-Fi
credentials survive — not a merged image, which 0xFF-pads and wipes NVS.

License
GPL-3.0-or-later — see LICENSE. wadamesh is copyleft: anyone who distributes a build or a fork must also make their source available under the GPL. This keeps the UI open and concentrates community effort instead of fragmenting it into closed forks.
wadamesh incorporates and depends on MeshCore (MIT, © Scott Powell / rippleradios.com) and other third-party components — see NOTICE for the full list and their licenses. MeshCore-derived files keep their MIT notices; the combined work is distributed under the GPL (MIT is GPL-compatible). The MeshCore fork that wadamesh builds against stays MIT on purpose, so its Wi-Fi/BLE hooks remain upstreamable to MeshCore.
