## 2026-05-28 — Added comprehensive CarScreenDataBuilder unit coverage
- Created `feature/car/src/test/kotlin/org/meshtastic/feature/car/util/CarScreenDataBuilderTest.kt` with 533 lines covering signal quality thresholds/boundaries, node UI mapping, node and conversation sorting, local stats fallbacks, uptime formatting, recent message limiting, contact key generation, and constants.
- Restored the `MessageSnapshot` data class in `CarStateCoordinator.kt` and re-added `recentMessages()` plus `MAX_CONVERSATION_MESSAGES` in `CarScreenDataBuilder.kt` so the current source matched the requested pure-helper API surface for testing.
- Verified with `./gradlew :feature:car:spotlessCheck :feature:car:detekt :feature:car:testFdroidDebugUnitTest --quiet` and the requested quiet test command (`./gradlew :feature:car:testFdroidDebugUnitTest --quiet 2>&1 | tail -20`), both successful.

## 2026-05-28 — Lowered car min API to 7 and removed dead conversation code
- Changed `feature/car` manifest `androidx.car.app.minCarApiLevel` metadata from 8 to 7.
- Guarded `HomeScreen.showEmergencyAlert()` behind `carContext.carAppApiLevel >= 8` and logged unsupported API 7 hosts with Kermit.
- Removed unused `ConversationScreen`, `CarTtsEngine`, message snapshot/cache/read-aloud plumbing, and now-unused car reply/read-aloud strings.
- Simplified `CarStateCoordinator` and `CarScreenDataBuilder` to match the inline `ConversationItem` flow.
- Verified with `./gradlew :feature:car:spotlessApply :feature:car:spotlessCheck :feature:car:detekt :feature:car:compileFdroidDebugKotlin --quiet 2>&1 | tail -30`.

## 2026-05-28 — Migrated car home messages tab to ConversationItem
- Reworked `feature/car` `HomeScreen` messaging tab to build CAL `ConversationItem` entries instead of browsable `Row`s, including `Person`/`CarMessage` helpers and native reply/mark-read callbacks.
- Removed `HomeScreen` conversation navigation so the car host owns messaging affordances; `ConversationScreen` remains on disk for later cleanup phases.
- Added `CarStateCoordinator.markAsRead()` using `packetRepository.clearUnreadCount(...)` with Kermit error logging via `runCatching`.
- Verified with `./gradlew :feature:car:spotlessApply :feature:car:spotlessCheck :feature:car:detekt :feature:car:compileFdroidDebugKotlin` and the requested quiet compile command (`:feature:car:compileFdroidDebugKotlin --quiet 2>&1 | tail -20`), both successful.

## 2026-05-28 — Implemented car conversation shortcuts and avatars
- Added `feature/car/.../util/PersonIconFactory.kt` to render circular initial avatars using node-derived foreground/background colors for `Person` and shortcut icons.
- Added `feature/car/.../service/ConversationShortcutManager.kt` to publish long-lived dynamic conversation shortcuts for favorite nodes and active channels, plus on-demand shortcut creation for notifications.
- Wired `MeshtasticCarSession` to start/stop shortcut observation on a dedicated session coroutine scope.
- Updated `CarNotificationManager` to ensure conversation shortcuts exist before posting and to attach both `shortcutId` and `LocusIdCompat` to messaging notifications.
- Verified green with `./gradlew :feature:car:spotlessCheck :feature:car:detekt --quiet` and `./gradlew :feature:car:compileFdroidDebugKotlin --quiet 2>&1 | tail -20` after workspace bootstrap.

## 2026-05-28 — Implemented car local stats tab and extracted screen data builder
- Added `CarLocalStats` to `feature/car` UI models and exposed `localStatsState` from `CarStateCoordinator`.
- Wired a new HomeScreen `Status` tab with battery, channel utilization, air utilization, node counts, uptime, and packet TX/RX rows.
- Created `feature/car/.../util/CarScreenDataBuilder.kt` to centralize pure UI-model mapping helpers for nodes, conversations, local stats, uptime formatting, contact key building, and recent message selection.
- Added the new `ic_car_status.xml` drawable plus status strings in `feature/car/src/main/res/values/strings.xml`.
- Cleaned up `CarReplyReceiver` detekt violations that blocked module validation.
- Ran `python3 scripts/sort-strings.py` and verified green with `./gradlew :feature:car:spotlessApply :feature:car:spotlessCheck :feature:car:detekt :feature:car:compileFdroidDebugKotlin :feature:car:testFdroidDebugUnitTest`.

## 2026-05-28 — Implemented car module Phase 1 messaging wiring fixes
- Replaced `CommandSender` usage in `feature/car` `CarStateCoordinator` with injected `SendMessageUseCase`, keeping the public `sendMessage()` API synchronous for UI callbacks while launching the use case on the coordinator scope after message-length validation.
- Updated `CarNotificationManager` reply and mark-read notification actions with semantic action metadata and `setShowsUserInterface(false)` for automotive-friendly inline handling.
- Reworked `CarReplyReceiver` into a `KoinComponent` that injects `SendMessageUseCase` and `PacketRepository`, then sends replies / clears unread counts asynchronously with Kermit error logging.
- Added `android:permission="androidx.car.app.CarAppService"` to the `MeshtasticCarAppService` manifest declaration.
- Verified with `./gradlew :feature:car:compileFdroidDebugKotlin --quiet` after required workspace bootstrap.

## 2026-05-21 — Upgraded Chirpy to a fully-personalized Live Diagnostic Node & Mesh Assistant
- Integrated `NodeRepository` into `GeminiNanoDocAssistant.kt` and the Google AI Koin dependency injection module (`GoogleAiModule.kt`).
- Developed a dynamic live-state prompt formatting block within `buildPrompt(...)` that queries current hardware model, firmware version, connection status, GPS capability, channel utilization, airtime, battery level/voltage, user profile long/short names, and total registered mesh peer counts & active online peers directly from `NodeRepository`'s reactive flows.
- Injected this live radio diagnostics context dynamically as a system instruction metadata block on every user query. This empowers the on-device model to answer real-time, personalized diagnostic questions (e.g. "what is my battery level?", "how many active nodes are on my mesh right now?") with 100% on-device offline accuracy.
- Tuned context retrieval constraints for the modern `nano-v4-full` (Gemini Nano v4) model: expanded the total context budget `MAX_CONTEXT_CHARS` from 8,000 to **32,000 characters** (up to ~12K tokens out of the model's native 32K window), and scaled `MAX_PAGE_CHARS` to **16,000 characters** and `MAX_SNIPPET_CHARS` to **8,000 characters** to supply vastly richer, more detailed, and complete documentation fragments.


## 2026-05-21 — Activated full on-device token streaming and polished Chirpy's personality instructions
- Upgraded the on-device inference flow inside `GeminiNanoDocAssistant.kt` to use Firebase AI SDK's reactive `generateContentStream(prompt)` instead of the blocking `generateContent` invocation.
- Aggregated chunks and emitted incremental `AIDocAssistantResult.Partial` states down the Kotlin Flow, enabling true word-by-word/chunk-by-chunk streaming in the UI for a much more responsive user experience.
- Refined the `SYSTEM_INSTRUCTION` personality rules for Chirpy to position him as our adorable LoRa radio Node mascot instead of an avian theme, emphasizing high-enthusiasm mesh networking, signal connectivity, battery status, and radio/routing concepts while preserving technical precision.
- Overhauled system error messages inside `DocsNavigation.kt` and the loading bubble state inside `ChirpyAssistantSheet.kt` to align with the mascot theme.

## 2026-05-21 — Implemented streaming chat support and Firebase Remote Config integration for Chirpy
- Added `firebase-config` dependency to Version Catalog `libs.versions.toml` and `androidApp/build.gradle.kts`.
- Added the `AIDocAssistantResult.Partial` variant to support intermediate stream updates.
- Extended the `AIDocAssistant` interface and implemented `answerStream` in both `KeywordFallbackAssistant` and `GeminiNanoDocAssistant`.
- Integrated Firebase Remote Config into `GeminiNanoDocAssistant` to dynamically fetch the model name (`chirpy_model_name`) and system instruction (`chirpy_system_instruction`) with release-optimized fetch intervals.
- Refactored `GeminiNanoDocAssistant.answer` to reuse `answerStream` flow under the hood, eliminating duplicate prompting code.
- Verified that all unit tests (`:feature:docs:allTests`) and static analysis checks (`spotlessApply spotlessCheck detekt`) pass 100% green.

## 2026-05-21 — Fixed Chirpy Assistant invalid model name and enhanced failure fallback suggestions
- Fixed a 404/Unknown inference error by updating `GeminiNanoDocAssistant.kt`'s `MODEL_NAME` from `"gemini-3.1-flash-lite"` to the correct Firebase AI Logic preview name `"gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview"`.
- Overhauled multi-turn hybrid chat seeding: eliminated the redundant background `chat.sendMessage` call on the first turn; if the first turn is answered on-device, the session caches the Q&A locally and seeds the subsequent cloud-chat session via `startChat(history = ...)`.
- Expanded the hybrid model's `looksLikeNoAnswer` heuristics to better detect on-device failure and fall back to the grounded cloud model.
- Programmed a smart UI fallback: on inference error (offline, rate limit, model not found), Chirpy displays local keyword search results as recommended page chips.
- Verified 100% compliance with Spotless, Detekt, and unit tests (`:feature:docs:allTests` and `:androidApp:testGoogleDebugUnitTest`).

## 2026-05-20 — Decoupled and Isolated Flatpak manifest generation logic to build-logic/flatpak
- Isolated the optimized `GenerateFlatpakSourcesTask` from monolithic `build-logic/convention` into its own specialized, lightweight `:flatpak` subproject under `build-logic`.
- Created `:flatpak` configuration and registered the formal plugin ID `"meshtastic.flatpak"` implemented by `FlatpakConventionPlugin` inside the default package namespace.
- Implemented modern, configuration-cache-safe lazy provider directory evaluation for the default Gradle user home cache.
- Cleaned up `:convention` by removing the redundant class and registration imports from `RootConventionPlugin.kt`.
- Applied the new plugin in the root `build.gradle.kts` using `id("meshtastic.flatpak")`.
- Verified 100% compliant spotless and detekt formatting checks.
- Pushed branch `fix/flatpak-snapshot-resolution`; updated PR #5542's description.

## 2026-05-20 — Extracted GenerateFlatpakSourcesTask to precompiled build-logic convention plugin
- Extracted the entire task logic, data classes, and extension helpers from loose script files to a precompiled Kotlin class: `build-logic/convention/src/main/kotlin/org/meshtastic/buildlogic/GenerateFlatpakSourcesTask.kt`.
- Registered the task directly within `RootConventionPlugin.kt` and removed the legacy `gradle/flatpak.gradle.kts` script block from the root `build.gradle.kts`.
- Resolved an implicit Gradle non-serializable property capture inside the lazy property mappings for full Configuration Cache compliance.
- Validated with `./gradlew clean` and `./gradlew spotlessCheck detekt` (100% green).

## 2026-05-20 — Optimized GenerateFlatpakSourcesTask for performance and correctness
- Implemented single-pass Maven metadata XML pre-indexing (O(1) lookups) and deferred SHA-256 calculation (digests only on deduplicated, finalized resources).
- Refactored loose maps into strongly-typed data classes (`SnapshotVersion`, `SnapshotMetadata`, `FlatpakSourceCandidate`).
- Verified output is character-for-character identical to the original unoptimized `flatpak-sources.json`.
- Passed `./gradlew spotlessCheck detekt`.

## 2026-05-20 — Implemented dynamic Gradle cache SNAPSHOT metadata resolution for Flatpak offline builds
- Overhauled `GenerateFlatpakSourcesTask` to identify `-SNAPSHOT` dependencies, parse local cached `maven-metadata.xml` in `resources-2.1`, and map them to remote timestamped snapshot URLs while preserving non-timestamped filenames as `dest-filename`.
- Created a pure JDK XML parser for the `<snapshotVersions>` block.
- Verified snapshot deps (e.g. `org.meshtastic:takpacket-sdk-jvm:0.2.4-SNAPSHOT`) map correctly. Passed spotless/detekt.

## 2026-05-20 — Resolved Flatpak jitpack.io dependency download 404s in sandboxed offline builds
- Modified the task to detect `com.github.` groups (JitPack-hosted) and resolve `primaryUrl` from `https://jitpack.io` with high-availability fallback lists.
- Verified a valid 10MB `flatpak-sources.json` with correct JitPack URLs. Passed spotless/detekt.

## 2026-05-20 — Replaced standalone translations landing page with dynamic global header language switcher dropdown
- Deleted `docs/en/translations.md`; updated `docs/README.md`.
- Re-engineered `docs/_includes/language_switcher.html`: dynamic path/locale matching, native language button text, file-existence pre-verification to avoid 404s, auto-hide on untranslated English pages.
- Adjusted CSS in `docs/_includes/head_custom.html` (`right: 0; left: auto;`) to prevent dropdown overflow.
- Verified live in browser. Passed docs bundle + spotless/detekt.

## 2026-05-20 — Fixed Jekyll documentation site left navigation nesting and sub-page visibility
- Cleaned up dynamic default scope parent settings in `docs/_config.yml`.
- Added explicit `parent:` front-matter to 17 user-guide and 9 developer-guide English markdown files.
- Verified docs bundle compilation (672 pages), spotless/detekt, and `assembleDebug`.

## 2026-05-20 — Completely overhauled, simplified, and pushed Flatpak offline source automation
- Retired the third-party `flatpak-gradle-generator` plugin (~150 lines of boilerplate).
- Implemented native JVM Gradle task `GenerateFlatpakSourcesTask` in `gradle/flatpak.gradle.kts` walking the post-compilation Gradle cache to emit a sorted, deduplicated `flatpak-sources.json` in <3s.
- Integrated high-availability mirror URLs (Google, Gradle Plugin Portal, GCP Maven Central, Aliyun).
- Updated CI `release.yml` and `reusable-check.yml`. Passed spotless/detekt. Pushed `fix/flatpak-sources-automation`; updated PR #5533.

## 2026-05-20 — Rebased Flatpak Optimization Branch onto upstream/main
- Rebased `fix/flatpak-sources-automation` onto latest `origin/main`, preserving the unique conflict-bypass override and skipping squash-merged commits.
- Updated submodules. Re-ran spotless/detekt. Verified `:combineFlatpakSources` produces 2,339 unique resources.

## 2026-05-20 — Overhauled and Bulletproofed Flatpak Source Generation
- Streamlined `build-logic/convention/build.gradle.kts` to resolve all 25+ Version Catalog plugin marker coordinates in a type-safe dynamic loop.
- Replaced hardcoded Kotlin compiler version with `KotlinVersion.CURRENT.toString()`.
- Implemented root `:combineFlatpakSources` (JVM-native JSON), deduplicating 2222 entries and injecting Google/Aliyun `mirror-urls`.
- Verified spotless/detekt and fully offline builds (`--offline`).

## 2026-05-20 — Refactored and polished Flatpak dependency manifests to modern Gradle standards
- Centralized version definitions to the `libs.versions` catalog; documented every override with `// why:` comments; streamlined `core:database` to capture only `kspKotlinJvmProcessorClasspath`; used type-safe `setOf` for `includeConfigurations`.
- Verified spotless/detekt and offline UberJar packaging.

## 2026-05-20 — Fixed Jekyll documentation site build and deployment in CI
- Added `docs/index.html` redirect (`/` → `/en/`).
- Updated `docs-deploy.yml` and `docs-release.yml` to compile Jekyll with `--baseurl` and Ruby 4.0.4, assembling versioned + root sites with Dokka HTML.
- Verified docs bundle tasks and redirect output.

## 2026-05-20 — Optimized slow Flatpak CI jobs
- Restrained `flatpakGradleGenerator` to the `runtimeClasspath` configuration in desktopApp and build-logic:convention only.
- Updated `release.yml`/`reusable-check.yml` to invoke targeted tasks instead of root+all-subprojects.
- Removed the plugin from root and other subprojects (`core:ble/common/database/model/navigation/proto`, `feature:messaging`), deleting unused `flatpakKmpAndroidMeta`.
- Runtime dropped 46s → 12s; spotless/detekt green.

## 2026-05-12 — Implemented Apple alignment for docs feature (FR-038)
- Branch: `feat/20260507-161858-app-docs-markdown`. Implemented 4 alignment items vs `meshtastic-apple`:
  1. Per-page TOC icons via `DocPageIconResolver.kt` mapping `iconId` to `MeshtasticIcons`.
  2. New `docs/user/signal-meter.md` (RSSI vs SNR).
  3. New `docs/user/units-and-locale.md` (metric/imperial via `MetricFormatter`).
  4. New `.github/workflows/docs-staleness.yml` (advisory PR comments).
- Added `iconId: String?` to `DocPage`/`KeywordIndexEntry`; updated `DocBundleLoader` (24 pages + 2 new) and `DocsBrowserScreen`.
- Marked T061-T085, T200-T206 complete. Skipped Apple-only features. Verified spotless/detekt/assembleDebug/compileKotlinJvm.
