v1.7.117 broke Reticulum mesh on OTA-only fleet nodes two ways: the
update swaps only the backend binary and frontend tarball, so nodes
kept a stale archy-reticulum-daemon whose argparse exits on the new
--enable-transport flag (mesh session died on every spawn — confirmed
on framework-pt), and they never had archy-rnodeconf at all, so the
in-app Flash LoRa flow failed with a bare "No such file or directory".
Four-part fix:
- The Rust supervisor probes `daemon --help` and only passes
--enable-transport when the daemon advertises it; unsupported daemons
run edge-only exactly as pre-1.7.117 (tested against stub daemons
both ways + missing-binary fail-safe).
- Both PyInstaller tools ride the frontend tarball's runtime payload
(radio-tools/) and bootstrap.rs promotes them to /usr/local/bin on
startup when bytes differ — the first OTA path that ever updates
them. create-release.sh now rebuilds them every release and the
manifest script hard-fails if they're missing.
- The ISO bundles archy-rnodeconf alongside the daemon (it never did).
- Flash LoRa reports "tool not installed — update the node" instead of
the bare spawn error when rnodeconf is absent everywhere.
