docs: catch the user guide up to September and tag every code fence - #7134
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Nodes on firmware 2.8 show signed and verified identity icons in place of the PKI lock (#7117), a mismatch keeps the stored key (#7118), and sharing your own contact marks it verified. Offline terrain now exists on both flavors (#7000, #7012), hillshade is no longer F-Droid-only, and 32-bit F-Droid phones get a plain map-unavailable screen (#7005). Spread factor runs 5-12 (#7119), the first region set on 2.8 renumbers the node (#7021), doc search is the M3 full-screen bar (#7098), and the Mesh Beacon picker offers the primary channel only over remote admin (#7077). Section 11.16 quick checks: every fence declares a language and command blocks use shell; two textual above/below pointers reworded (LANG-9). The one security admonition in Nodes folded into body text, so the Node List section is down to one callout. Headings re-cased only where rewritten.

Distinguish the online overlay from offline terrain.
Lines [147]-[149] describe F-Droid and Desktop hillshade as online-only, but Lines [179]-[185] say those platforms can download terrain and render hillshade from the downloaded tiles. Qualify this bullet as the online overlay, and state that the Offline Terrain controls provide downloaded hillshade.

| On a node's detail screen, tap **Share Contact** to produce a link and a QR code for that node. From the same dialog, **Share link** opens the Android share sheet (on desktop it copies the link instead), **Write to NFC tag** saves it to a writable NFC tag, and **Copy** puts it on the clipboard. While that dialog is open and in front of you, the phone also offers the same link to any NFC reader, so someone can take the contact by tapping their phone against yours with no tag involved. | ||

| Sharing your own contact this way marks it as verified in person, so whoever imports it sees the **Verified contact** icon rather than the signed one. Relaying someone else's contact passes on only what your app had already recorded about them. |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Do not describe every self-shared contact as “verified in person.”
Lines [113]-[115] include links, copied values, NFC tags, and NFC handoff. These paths do not require a face-to-face QR-code exchange. This conflicts with the Verified contact definition at Line [82] and can give remote recipients the wrong trust meaning. State the import result separately, and reserve “verified in person” for a flow that requires physical verification.

Docs sweep against what merged since the 2026-08-30 audit (#6968), plus the mechanical half of the Section 11.16 quick checks from the design standards this repo's guide now defers to (#7125). Every claim below was checked against the code and the string resources, not the PR bodies.
🧹 Chores
Content brought current
NodeSecurityIndicatordecides (verified contact, signed node, closed lock, open lock, mismatch), which firmware each shows for, the Show All Meanings legend, and the Security row on the detail screen (feat(node): signed and verified indicators in place of the PKI lock #7117). A mismatch keeps the stored key and refuses the new one (fix(node): keep a contact's public key when a different one arrives #7118), and sharing your own contact marks it verified at the far end. Signed only and Encrypted only join the filter table, with the predicates the code actually uses (verified signature; matching key on file, mismatch excluded).offlineMapsSupported, so the two "Desktop has no offline downloads" sentences on the page were corrected too. The online Hillshade overlay stays F-Droid/Desktop:MapViewModel.availableOverlaysfilters out DEM-encoded sources on Google, which gets hillshade from offline terrain only.clampSpreadFactorreturnsLORA_SF_DEFAULT(11) for 5 and 6. The first region set on 2.8 creates the identity key and renumbers the node (fix(settings): re-learn the node number when the first region set renumbers the radio #7021).Section 11.16 mechanical pass
text), and every command block isshellrather thanbash(11 fences).documentation-style.md. radio → node in the rewritten prose only.Corrected after an adversarial pass over every claim
scripts/lib/abi-parity.shrecords the gap as closed since maplibre-compose 0.16.0 (the catalog pin), so no shipped ABI reaches that screen.Signed onlyreads the rawsignsPacketsflag, not the version-gated indicator, so the filter row says so instead of equating it with the badge.desktop.mdstill denied all offline downloads, now says terrain yes and base-map packs no; the Signed node row says the icon is a version fact before it is a heard one.Not in this PR (audit findings)
--convert-webp, so the site-weight half is a sync flag; the dark-variant half needs the in-app renderer (ComposeResourceImageTransformer) to learn theme switching before the guide can ask for it. IMG-1 and 11.9 disagree today, which 11.1 says they should not — needs a third In transition bullet or a design-repo carve-out.docs-browser_search.pngshows the old inline search field; the prose no longer depends on it, but it wants a recapture.supportsHeardOnCurrentLorais gated toUNRELEASEDand firmware #11811 is still open.
