1. v3.9.2 # Latest 1 month ago · 2026-06-13 04:48 UTC

   View release ↗

   Upgrade urgency: Recommended. Big batch of operator-felt wins.

   Highlights

   Accessibility (#1668 — M2/M3/M4/M5 merged; M6 in flight)

   • Two-tier CSS palette with semantic tokens (--palette-* → --color-*/--text-*); operators can now hot-swap theme palettes
   • WCAG AA color-contrast hits across all 22 audited routes — 443 baseline violations → 0 verified by the new axe CI gate (#1696)
   • Typography pass: 14px body / 12px+500 chip floor across the entire chrome (#1679)
   • Hash-cell analytics palette, badge contrast, /live VCR controls (#1681)
   • Audio-lab BPM + Volume sliders now have aria-labels

   MQTT observability

   • Per-source MQTT status endpoint + Observers panel (#1682) — connected/disconnected/last-packet/error counters per broker
   • Mobile-friendly: cards at ≤640px instead of squished table (#1698)

   Cold-load + analytics correctness

   • Packet-store cold-load actually loads the database now (#1691). Pre-fix: after restart, only 0.3% of DB rows were loaded into RAM, dashboards looked empty for hours. Root cause: hot-load filtered by first_seen (immutable per hash) instead of effective recency. New transmissions.last_seen denormalized column + writer-side update fixes this end-to-end.
   • Analytics endpoint returns 503 Retry-After during warm-up (#1688) — operators no longer see post-restart partial slices
   • Warm-up banner surfaces backfill state in the UI (#1683)

   Firmware 1.16 sync

   • Server-side decoder parity for extended ACK payloads (#1695)
   • Customizer toggle to hide 1-byte path hops (collide ~8-way at 2k nodes) — #1689

   Performance

   • /packets init parallelizes loadObservers + loadPackets (#1693) — first-row time dropped from 25-40s to <5s on slow links
   • Confidence rating weighted by hash mode (#1687) — 1-byte sightings carry less weight than 6-byte

   CI / operability

   • OpenAPI completeness gate (#1678 Phase 1)
   • Release fast-path: re-tag :edge → :vX.Y.Z when SHA matches (#1680) — most patch releases now skip the 30min full pipeline rerun
   • Staging disk monitor + cleanup cron (#1686)
   • Slideover E2E flake-gate reduced 20× → 3×, root cause fixed in #1693

   Container image

   ghcr.io/kpa-clawbot/corescope:v3.9.2 (multi-arch: amd64, arm64)

   Verification

   • 22 routes × 2 themes × 2 viewports automated a11y gate (axe-core, #1696)
   • All 19 PRs ran through the full polish chain (parallel reviewers + Kent Beck TDD gate)
   • Cold-load fix verified by transmissions.last_seen test fixture (#1691)

2. v3.9.1 # 1 month ago · 2026-06-12 06:41 UTC

   View release ↗

   Upgrade urgency: Recommended — v3.9.1 is what v3.9.0 should have been. v3.9.0's container image never published (Playwright flake gated Docker build). v3.9.1 includes everything in v3.9.0 plus:

   • WCAG AA contrast pass — new two-tier CSS palette (raw --palette-* → semantic --color-*/--text-*); muted-text family bumped to ≥4.5:1 in both themes (most well above — --text-muted on dark surface goes 3.5 → 11.58:1). Operator-reported unknown-repeater chip ("dark-blue text on dark-blue background") fixed (2.75:1 → 4.95:1). Closes #1671. Partial fix for #1668. (#1676, f0addfda)
   • Slideover test stability — test-slideover-1056-e2e.js was racing the packets virtual-scroll spacer; tightened selectors, bumped data-row wait to 20s. Cleared the day-of-release CI flakes. Fixes #1662. (#1663+followups, f06359d7)

   Verification

   Test plan: workspace-meshcore/test-plans/v3.9.0-cdp-test-plan.md (93 tests, applies unchanged to v3.9.1). M1 a11y audit: workspace-meshcore/a11y-audit/reports/violations-summary.md (2,429 BLOCKER → estimated 85% cleared by M2).

   Acknowledgements

   External contributors from v3.9.0 still apply: @efiten, @EldoonNemar. No new external PRs since v3.9.0.

3. v3.9.0 # 1 month ago · 2026-06-12 02:55 UTC

   View release ↗

   Upgrade urgency: Medium — fixes the post-restart "relay timelines empty" regression, surfaces silent /api/nodes truncation, and ships operator-controlled per-name hiding.

   257 commits since v3.8.3 (72 substantive + 185 auto-generated coverage bumps). Every bullet ends with a commit SHA — git show <sha> to verify.

   Highlights

   • Your relay timelines survive a restart. Before v3.9.0, every container restart left repeater nodes with empty hop histories until live traffic replayed enough adverts to re-attribute. Now the relay-hop index is rebuilt from path_json during cold load — per-relay timelines, hop counts, and route stats are intact the moment the server says it's ready. (#1643, 938153dd)
   • /api/nodes stops silently truncating at 500 rows. The hard cap was hiding nodes from the map, analytics and packets pages on any mesh of meaningful size — without any warning. Now properly paginated across every consumer, with internal UI requests bypassing the per-page clamp. (#1607, 26105748; #1637, 9002b25b; #1589, 7421ead9)
   • Hide your own node from a public dashboard with a prefix rename. New hiddenNamePrefixes config (default ["🚫"]) drops matching nodes from /api/nodes* while keeping DB rows for analytics — same convention other MeshCore dashboards already follow, no DB surgery, no permanent loss of history. (#1655, 825b2648)
   • Observer Compare is finally discoverable. The compare page existed before but was a hidden URL trick; now there are three entry points (header CTA, sticky selector strip, observer-table multi-select) leading into a Tufte-grade compare view with state-preserving selection. (#1642, 531bc8ac; #1645, c93ae67e; #1647, 167af54e)
   • Per-node Reach. New /api/nodes/{pubkey}/reach + UI surfaces directional link quality per neighbor — answers "is my link to X any good in both directions" without staring at a topology graph. (#1627, e2212f50)

   What's New

   Observer Compare

   • Promote observer comparison to first-class: header CTA, sticky selector strip, observer-table multi-select. (#1642, 531bc8ac)
   • Tufte-grade compare page with themed button vocabulary + state-preserving multi-select across navigations. (#1645, c93ae67e)
   • Polish: tightened checkboxes, hierarchy, selector strip + mobile fixes. (#1647, 167af54e)
   • Wire TableSort on the observers table with numeric/time column types so the sort affordance actually sorts. (#1641, d72ab69f)

   Reach & Nodes

   • Per-node Reach page + GET /api/nodes/{pubkey}/reach (directional link quality). (#1627, e2212f50)
   • Paginate /api/nodes across map/live/analytics/packets/area-map so the 500-row server cap stops silently truncating UIs. (#1607, 26105748; #1637, 9002b25b)
   • Sortable First Seen column on the Nodes table. (#1587, 7533b3b6)
   • Firmware repeat:on|off hint now excludes listener-only observers from the disambiguator. (#1624, a4776557)
   • Link RTC-reset warnings on node detail to the offending packet hashes. (#1590, 1a2b8c48)

   Analytics

   • Relay Airtime Share endpoint + dumbbell chart. (#1601, 3898688d)
   • 5-minute rolling-baseline anomaly detection for Write Sources. (#1593, a26a412c)
   • TRACE packets overlay per-hop SNR on the path graph. (#1622, e9aed641)
   • Multi-byte prefix repeaters now show up in the 1-byte hash-usage matrix view. (#1591, 3df89241)

   Live & Map

   • Fullscreen toggle on the live map + controls collapsed by default. (#1572, d7bd9d57)
   • Colorblind simulation overlay (Brettel/Vienot) with reset-to-Wong button. (#1600, 571c960c)
   • Path symbols legend disclosure on packets. (#1570, 5fd8900c)
   • OSM / Stamen tile providers with per-provider Leaflet layer control. (#1533, d7cd9203)
   • Operator-configurable liveMap.maxNodes (default 2000). (#1577, 1bdb92de)

   Config & Operator Surfaces

   • hiddenNamePrefixes (default ["🚫"]) — drop matching nodes from /api/nodes* while preserving DB rows. (#1655, 825b2648)
   • Config-driven disabled-tabs list in the customizer modal. (#1579, 7292d60f)
   • `branding …
