Good morning, it's September 1st, 2026, and this is RuView.
The throughline in today's activity is trust between the edge and the system that relies on it. Three separate pull requests all fix cases where hardware claimed one thing and the system either believed it wrongly or didn't deliver what it promised.
Start with firmware. PR 1762, merged by ruvnet, enforces a basic invariant: if presence is false, person count must be zero. Until now, the sensing server could accept contradictory evidence from older nodes. This PR also moves the temporal filters off a fixed assumed sample rate and onto the actual measured clock —…
That same distrust-of-claims pattern shows up in provisioning. PR 1760, from proffesor-for-testing, closes three operator-safety defects found while provisioning real ESP32-S3 boards. The most serious: WiFi passwords were being written to state files in cleartext, and depending on the host's umask, those files could…
And PR 1761 addresses a release-side version of the same problem: the C6 firmware variant has been built and tested on every tag since version 0-point-8-0, but never actually published. Operators running C6 boards have been stuck four minor versions…
