Good morning, it's October 3rd, 2026.

The lead story: RuView is expanding beyond ESP32 sensing to MediaTek routers, while tightening reliability so bad or missing data fails loudly instead of silently.

First, MediaTek support goes from patch to pipeline. One change adds board support and kernel patches to make a common MT7981-based router emit channel state on OpenWrt, plus a user guide for using it, in PR 2116. A companion bridge crate translates that vendor output into the server's standard wire format, in PR…

Second, a hardening push against stale and bogus state. Node entries are now evicted on a timer even when no frames arrive, in PR 2120, and the latest sensing endpoint returns an explicit stale status after ten seconds quiet instead of serving a frozen classification forever, in PR 2119. Related fixes reject empty…

Finally, correctness for integrations and learning. The MQTT publisher now uses semantic states and announces only entities with real data, fixing twenty announced entities with six working and a client ID that recreated devices on restart, in PR 2117. Training now reads real dashboard recordings per node, aligning…

What's next: expect follow-up validation of the…
