RuView: Firmware Fix and CI Pipeline Repair
The RuView project resolved a critical firmware issue where all ESP32 nodes incorrectly reported the same ID, breaking multi-node deployments. Three persistent CI pipeline failures were also fixed following recent code reorganization.

Good morning, this is RuView for May 21st, 2026.
Two pull requests merged yesterday addressing critical infrastructure issues. Ruvnet merged a firmware fix refreshing release binaries to version 0.6.5, resolving issue 679 where all ESP32 CSI nodes were incorrectly emitting node ID 1 regardless of their provisioned identifiers. This made multi-node deployments appear as a single node to the sensing server. The problem stemmed from release binaries built from version 0.4.3.1, which predated the node ID early-capture fix implemented in previous pull requests. All six release binaries have been rebuilt from current source and validated on ESP32-S3 hardware.
Ruvnet also merged CI pipeline fixes addressing three persistent failures that occurred after the recent code reorganization. Performance tests and API documentation generation were failing due to module import errors when the source directory moved to archive/v1. The fixes include proper working directory configuration and appropriate error handling for incomplete test suites. GitHub release creation was also restored by adding required write permissions.
Additional commits include documentation updates with a new Cognitum Seed image and hero section linking to cognitum.one/seed, along with repository header updates.
What's next: The performance test suite needs completion now that the pipeline infrastructure is working. Multi-node deployment testing should verify the node ID fix across different hardware configurations.
That's your RuView update for today.
