RX packet counter: shows total received packets (flood + direct) on the
radio details page; RAM-only, resets on boot and on any SF/freq/BW change.
Rx Log: app-style packet sniffer opened from Settings > "Rx Log >>".
Captures the last 100 received packets pre-filter via Dispatcher::logRx
into a PSRAM ring, with decoded "sender: message" lines matched by packet
hash for decryptable channels. Each entry shows route/type, time, size,
hash, path, channel or From/To, SNR. W/S scroll, Q back to Settings;
T5S3 swipe-scroll rides the same path.
Files: MyMesh.h/.cpp, RxLogScreen.h (new), UITask.h/.cpp,
SettingsScreen.h, main.cpp.
GPS — fixed (the "off" toggle and boot path now actually cut the XL9555 rail). Kept in main.cpp + UITask.cpp.
BLE controller — the ~13 mA between the BLE build (BLE off) and standalone is the controller staying initialised; the boot-gate in SerialBLEInterface.cpp/.h defers BLEDevice::init() until first enable, reclaiming it. That's the meaningful idle win.
CPU, gyro rail, ES8311, frontlight — all measured and ruled out. The residual ~12 mA Max-vs-Pro is distributed always-on hardware with no software switch — hardware overhead, not a bug.
Defer ESP32 BLE controller bring-up to first user enable
MyMesh::startInterface() called serial.enable() unconditionally at boot. On the ESP32 BLE build this ran the deferred-init SerialBLEInterface's _realBegin()/BLEDevice::init() and powered the BT controller before main.cpp's boot-time disable(), which only stops advertising and cannot power the controller back down -- so the controller stayed up while "off", drawing ~13 mA at idle. Guard the enable() so ESP32 BLE builds skip it at boot; the controller now comes up lazily on the first enable() when the user turns Bluetooth on from the Bluetooth page. WiFi builds are unaffected and still enable at boot.
Summary of what changed in each file, all confined to the change points shown in the diffs:
ChannelScreen.h — ChannelMessage gains a session-only scope_idx (initialised to 0xFF in the constructor and explicitly reset to 0xFF on SD load, since region is not persisted); addMessage gains a trailing defaulted scope_idx and stores it. The message-list line now renders (Xh)(Xb) Xm, with the byte figure taken from path_len's upper bits for floods and from the_mesh.getNodePrefs()->path_hash_mode + 1 for the 0xFF/0 sentinels. The path overlay shows Route: ... (N-byte) and a new Region: line (name, or (reg unknown), or nothing when unscoped).
MyMesh.h / .cpp — a fixed 28-entry SCOPE_NAMES table, a _scope_keys array precomputed once at the end of begin() via initScopeKeys(), resolveScopeIndex() (matches pkt->transport_codes[0] against the candidates; 0xFF unscoped, 0xFE unmatched), and the public getScopeName() accessor. onChannelMessageRecv resolves the index and passes it to newMsg.
AbstractUITask.h / UITask.h / UITask.cpp — newMsg gains a trailing uint8_t scope_idx = 0xFF; only the channel addMessage call forwards it. DMs and sent echoes keep the default, so they stay unscoped.
MsgFileRecord and the SD save/load format are untouched, so there's no version bump.
Contact list display bug fix for all devices: MyMesh.h — added onAdvertRecv override declaration (line 214), alongside the other contact-related overrides.
MyMesh.cpp — added the implementation (lines 374-387). It calls BaseChatMesh::onAdvertRecv() first to let all normal processing happen (auto-add, replay guard, path caching, etc.), then unconditionally looks up the contact by pubkey and bumps lastmod to local RTC time. This way, even when the base class's replay guard early-returns (because timestamp <= last_advert_timestamp), the contact still bubbles up in the recency-sorted contacts list since we're actively hearing it.
The markChannelReadFromBLE() calls in the CMD_SYNC_NEXT_MESSAGE handler were marking channels and DMs as read the moment the BLE companion app synced them from the offline queue. Since the app drains the entire queue automatically on connect, this had the effect of clearing all unread indicators on the device as soon as BLE connected — before the user had actually read anything in either the app or on the device.
The MeshCore BLE protocol has no "user opened this channel" command from the app side; CMD_SYNC_NEXT_MESSAGE is an automatic bulk pull, so "synced to app" ≠ "read by user." Removed the channel and DM mark-read calls so unread counts only clear when the user navigates to that channel on the device itself. The msgRead() progress counter (syncing X messages) is unaffected.
SerialBLEInterface.cpp — added esp_bt.h include and three esp_ble_tx_power_set calls at +9 dBm after BLEDevice::init(), covering default, advertising, and scan power types.
MyMesh.h — FIRMWARE_VER_CODE bumped from 10 → 11.
MyMesh.cpp — The RESP_CODE_DEVICE_INFO frame construction now:
Byte 2: sends 0xFF (sentinel) when MAX_CONTACTS > 510, otherwise the normal MAX_CONTACTS / 2. Older apps interpret 0xFF as 510 contacts — completely harmless.
Bytes 80-81 (new, appended after the version string): uint16_t little-endian with the true MAX_CONTACTS value. Apps that understand v11+ read it here. Apps < v11 ignore trailing bytes — the BLE/serial frame protocol is length-delimited, so extra bytes at the tail are safe.
platformio.ini — Both BLE builds (meck_audio_ble, meck_4g_ble) bumped from 510 → 2000.
mymesh.cpp: writeContactRespFrame return type change (return _serial->writeFrame() result)
checkSerialInterface() batch-fill loop.
