PR thirteen-oh-five closed out a significant audit finding: the nvsim server's published Docker image was running with no authentication and a wide-open cross-origin policy. That's now gated behind an optional bearer token on any route that changes state, while health checks and read…
Second theme: firmware reliability on the ESP32 side. Several PRs converged on real-world deployment pain. PR twelve eighty-eight lowered the WiFi authentication threshold so routers running mixed WPA and WPA2 compatibility mode stop getting rejected, and added logging for disconnect reasons. PR twelve eighty-six…
