Let's dive into the big story first. Our friend Ruv tackled issue 279, and this one is a textbook example of why configuration management can be tricky. Picture this: you've got this mesh network system with multiple ESP32 nodes, and you've built this nice provisioning system where you can say "hey, this is node 0,…

Well, here's the plot twist - the provisioning was writing the node ID correctly to NVS storage, but then the actual runtime code was completely ignoring it! Instead, it was using a hardcoded compile-time constant in six different places. So you could provision node 2 all day long, but every packet, every frame,…
