    • The app can now be installed to an Android or iOS home screen: a web app manifest, a generated 192/512/maskable/apple-touch icon set, and a theme-color status bar, so it launches standalone from the launcher (#52).
    • Added a 🇬🇧 Query RSGB ETCC API action that turns a GPS fix into a list of nearby UK repeaters, nearest first; unlike the przemienniki.net and RepeaterBook imports it needs no CORS proxy, so it works on deployments where those two are disabled (#47).
    • Binary .img files whose driver differs only by variant or alias now load: Quansheng_UV-K5_egzumer.img previously failed with Unsupported model because the matcher ignored variant, resolved to the wrong UV-K5 driver, and that wrong-but-resolved match suppressed the all-drivers fallback (#46).
    • Deploys now run the full test suite and the Python syntax check before uploading, so a failing test leaves the live site up; the asset-retention step, which had been silently doing nothing since the move to codeplug.org, points at the right hostname again (#45).
    • Asset retention is covered by tests driving the real script against a fake Pages site, so an unreachable host fails the deploy instead of retaining nothing while reporting success (#42).
    • The channel view now shows its "No channels loaded" notice from first paint instead of only once the Pyodide runtime has finished booting.
    • Dropped test stubs for DOM elements the page no longer has and pinned the remaining stubs to the selectors web/js/ui/dom.js declares; no user-visible change (#43).
