crosspoint-reader calls it init() and requires it; this called it setup() and treated
it as optional. Same concept, two spellings, so an app could not move between the two
firmwares for no reason worth defending. init() wins because it is also the stricter
contract: a misspelled entry point is now an error instead of an app that starts,
draws nothing, and explains nothing.
Requiring it exposed that error screens were unreadable. fail() painted the message
and the host relaunched the launcher over it on the very next frame, so every Lua
error was serial-only -- which would have made "Missing init()" useless to anyone
holding the device rather than a console.
The launcher clock read UTC and sat next to the title because the toolkit could only
stack children from the start of an axis. justify adds the CSS main-axis modes that
had a caller -- start, end, center, between -- so a header keeps its title left and
its clock right without any app doing arithmetic.
Timezones are stored as POSIX TZ rules rather than offsets, so newlib applies DST
changeovers and os.date() in Lua reports local time with no binding of its own.
/lib/timezones.lua is only the picker list: a zone missing from it still works if its
rule is written into settings, the same split themes already use.
settings_calibration.lua now finds rows by label. Adding the timezone row shifted
every hardcoded y coordinate in it, which is the failure that had been predicted and
would have silently retargeted taps at the wrong control.
lua_app.cpp had grown to 701 lines holding every binding, the module loader and the
app lifecycle, so new bindings landed wherever the cursor was. Each Lua table now has
its own file under bindings/, and the app is recovered from the lua_State's extra
space instead of a file-static, so a second state cannot reach the wrong app.
Three tests each redeclared the binding surface, which broke twice this session when
a binding changed; test/fake_device.lua is now the single stub. `make test` runs all
four suites and pins Lua 5.4, matching the vendored interpreter rather than the 5.2
the tests had silently been using.
Adds a wifi binding over the Arduino API and a settings flow that scans, picks
the strongest AP per SSID, takes a password from an on-screen keyboard, and
reports connection state. Credentials join /settings.lua and reconnect at boot.
Settings are now written through a temp file and rename, and strings are
Lua-escaped, so a password cannot corrupt the file the firmware parses at boot.
Apps describe nesting instead of coordinates: /lib/ui.lua borrows CSS block flow,
the box model and auto sizing, and owns hit testing, press capture and the pressed
repaint. The runtime gains require backed by the SD card, on_touch_down/on_touch_up,
text metrics and rounded gradient fills, so the launcher becomes an ordinary Lua app
and the firmware keeps only a fallback screen for an unreadable card.
Boots to a launcher that lists /apps/<name>/main.lua on the SD card and runs
the selected app in a vendored Lua 5.4 with gui, input, fs, sys and log
bindings. Settings persist as a Lua table in /settings.lua, covering touch
calibration and screen rotation, with a settings app to edit both. Rotation is
applied after mapping raw touch into the panel's rotation-0 frame, so turning
the UI never invalidates a calibration.
