Operators configure bucket and CloudFront domain with env credentials; deploy plans upload RS 4+2 shards and attach signed edge URLs to BGP swarm magnets. Agents fetch LAN, CloudFront, then C2. Forge panel adds test and IAM policy JSON.
Cluster 3+ scout_report hits on the same SSID within 10 minutes; server infers airport/campus/retail venue class and pushes persona spread_policy. Emberwake weather-map merges active scout biomes. Includes agent, server API, and Vitest coverage.
Mock probePorts in scale limit tests so ScanLocalSubnet does not hang on live TCP dials; add erasure_codec error-path coverage from 0445b7e/d18c591 gaps.
Restore P1/P2/fleet/erasure COVERED rows in PROBLEMS.md with refreshed counts; drop fixed poll-duplication and Vitest-noise items. Silence ECONNREFUSED stderr in Vitest setup, alias download mock exports, and expand erasure/Path Tracer test coverage.
Server Reed-Solomon 4+2 shard encode on deploy plans when erasure_lanes_enabled; agents reassemble from parallel lane URLs as staging fallback with BGP/Path Tracer hints.
Sync PROBLEMS.md and tests/README.md with 734 Vitest count, fleet evolution checklist, erasure-coded propagation deferred row; retry dashboard login and wait for agents API in LOTL E2E.
Stub slow syscheck/listen-port probes in agent tests, fix ai_snapshot mutex deadlock, reorder fleet clearance vs connectivity checks, and add AI control precedence plus LotlTimeline vitest coverage.
Implements three new spread lanes following the do_peer pattern: DNS TXT mesh staging, WebRTC LAN seed manifest delivery, and WSUS SoftwareDistribution cousin handoff. Integrates tiers into onion chain, deploy-plan allowlist, Forge UI/docs, and tests.
Stop the stats batch timer in unit tests before reading pending coalesced state, teach the Playwright stub agent to emit lotl_tier stats, and prefer server/webroot so phase-8 E2E serves the current frontend build.
Prefer server/webroot in pack-usb (Vite outDir), cd to deck root before starting AetherForge so cwd-based webroot lookup hits usb\webroot, and note pack/LAUNCH steps in tests/README.
Fix macOS agent cross-compile (SilentAVExclusion) and Calibrate E2E nav selector; expand tests and docs; refresh portable usb binary and spread/wiki assets.
Persist build extra_files for Build Manager history, print dashboard login on every start, add libp2p for Mesh P2P forge, defer WebSocket until login, and split devrun.bat from LAUNCH.bat with USB deck auto-detection.
Adds hundreds of unit/integration/e2e tests, fixes WS bcrypt auth, config merge, fleet analytics, agent schedule/log tail, and documents stale PROBLEMS items. Updates PROBLEMS.md, README, and test scripts; ignores local spread-kits and coverage dirs.
