Deploying the .126 LoRa panel ahead of its daemon made every button
report "Operation failed. Check server logs for details." — the panel
was calling RPCs the older binary doesn't have, and the sanitizer
masked "Unknown method: mesh.rnode-config" into that generic string.
Read as "the feature is broken" rather than "this node needs its
update" (operator, 2026-08-06).
Allowlisted: "Unknown method" (a frontend newer than its daemon should
say so), every RNode RF validation message (each names the field and
its legal range — the entire point of validating before touching the
radio), and the actionable mesh preconditions (no device connected,
mesh service not running, MeshCore has no remote reboot, radio daemon
did not answer, RNode interface disabled).
