RuView: Truth in Telemetry, Trust in Firmware
Four fixes landed today, splitting into two themes — honest data reporting on the sensing stack, and firmware storage that finally matches what each hardware profile actually ships. Together they close gaps where the system was quietly lying to operators or to itself.

Good morning. It's September 11th, and this is RuView.
Today's theme is honesty — getting the system to accurately report what it's actually doing, both to the people watching it and to its own storage layout.
Start with sensing. PR 1898, from Liam McL, fixes two related problems found while bringing up a real ESP32-S3 node. The detection function for that node was only checking the first data packet, so a live streaming device could get missed entirely — and the server would silently fall back to generic WiFi signal data…
Second theme: firmware storage catching up to reality. PR 1890 from clonea1 found that a logging feature depended on a storage partition that only existed in one of three hardware profiles — meaning the code was linked into every build but could never actually mount on two of them. The fix adds that partition where…
One more, standalone but important: PR 1889 from ruvnet fixes a provisioning script that was writing WiFi passwords to disk without restricting file permissions — landing world-readable by default umask. Now the state directory and file are created with explicit restrictive permissions. Closes issue 1754,…
What's next: watch for the 8-megabyte firmware…
