fix: correct LED B color from blue to red for PM3 Easy

LED B on PM3 Easy is red per firmware define LED_RED=LED_B, not blue.
Updated all examples to use color names (green, red, orange, red2).
Added tune LED visualization examples and updated code references.

Tune LED color mappings inspired by the Dangerous Things RFID
diagnostic card color scheme:
- LF tune: Green (PM3 Easy) / Red2 (RDV4)
- HF tune: Red (PM3 Easy) / Orange (RDV4)

+# Plugin Architecture Instructions
+
+## Overview
+
+Dangerous Pi uses a plugin system that supports:
+- Remote installation from GitHub releases
+- Automatic pip dependency management
+- Hardware access (GPIO, I2C, SPI, serial) with permission enforcement
+- WebSocket broadcasting for real-time updates
+- Header widgets for UI notifications
+- Permission declarations with user consent at install time
+
+## Plugin Distribution Model
+
+**Each plugin lives in its own GitHub repo** (e.g., `org/dangerous-pi-multi-flasher`).
+
+### Registry Format
+A central registry repo (`dangerous-pi-plugin-registry`) contains `plugins.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "plugins": [
+    {
+      "id": "plugin_id",
+      "name": "Plugin Name",
+      "repo": "org/repo-name",
+      "description": "Description",
+      "author": "Author",
+      "latest_version": "1.0.0"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Plugin Release Format
+Each plugin repo publishes GitHub releases with:
+- `plugin.tar.gz` - The plugin archive
+- `plugin.json` - Metadata with checksum and dependencies
+
+### plugin.json Schema
+```json
+{
+  "id": "plugin_id",
+  "name": "Plugin Name",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "description": "Description",
+  "author": "Author",
+  "checksum": "sha256:...",
+  "dependencies": ["package>=1.0.0"],
+  "permissions": ["gpio", "i2c", "network_access"],
+  "min_app_version": "1.0.0"
+}
+```
+
+## Plugin Directory Structure
+
+```
+app/plugins/{plugin_id}/
+    plugin.json                    # Metadata manifest
+    main.py                        # Entry point (extends PluginBase)
+    services/                      # Business logic
+        __init__.py
+        {service}.py
+    api/                           # FastAPI router (optional)
+        __init__.py
+        router.py
+```
+
+## Creating a Plugin
+
+### 1. Extend PluginBase
+```python
+from backend.managers.plugin_manager import PluginBase, PluginMetadata
+
+class MyPlugin(PluginBase):
+    async def on_load(self):
+        # Initialize services
+        pass
+
+    async def on_enable(self):
+        # Register hooks, start functionality
+        self.register_hook("hook_name", self.my_callback)
+
+    async def on_disable(self):
+        # Stop functionality
+        pass
+
+    async def on_unload(self):
+        # Cleanup resources
+        pass
+```
+
+### 2. Register Hooks
+Available hooks:
+- `pm3_command` - Triggered on Proxmark3 commands
+- `update_check` - Triggered on system update checks
+- Custom hooks can be added
+
+### 3. Add API Routes (Optional)
+Plugins can expose their own FastAPI routers mounted under `/api/plugins/{plugin_id}/`
+
+### 4. Register Header Widgets
+Display notifications in the UI header:
+```python
+from backend.managers.plugin_manager import WidgetSeverity
+
+class MyPlugin(PluginBase):
+    async def on_enable(self):
+        # Register a header widget
+        self.register_widget(
+            widget_id="status",           # Becomes "plugin.my_plugin.status"
+            severity=WidgetSeverity.INFO,
+            message="Plugin is active",
+            icon="🔌",
+            dismissible=True,
+            action_label="Settings",      # Optional
+            action_url="/settings#plugins"
+        )
+
+    async def on_disable(self):
+        # Clean up widget
+        self.unregister_widget("status")
+```
+
+Widget severity levels: `INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR`, `SUCCESS`
+
+### 5. Broadcast WebSocket Events
+Send real-time updates to connected clients (requires `websocket` permission):
+```python
+class MyPlugin(PluginBase):
+    async def some_operation(self):
+        # Broadcast event to all connected clients
+        # Event type becomes: "plugin.my_plugin.progress"
+        await self.broadcast_event("progress", {
+            "percent": 50,
+            "message": "Processing..."
+        })
+```
+
+WebSocket events are rate-limited to 10 events/second per plugin.
+
+### 6. Access Hardware
+Get controlled access to hardware interfaces (requires permissions in plugin.json):
+```python
+class MyPlugin(PluginBase):
+    def setup_hardware(self):
+        # Requires "i2c" permission
+        i2c = self.get_i2c(bus=1)
+
+        # Requires "gpio" permission
+        gpio = self.get_gpio()
+
+        # Requires "spi" permission
+        spi = self.get_spi(bus=0, device=0)
+
+        # Requires "serial" permission
+        serial = self.get_serial("/dev/ttyUSB0", baudrate=9600)
+```
+
+## Available Permissions
+
+| Permission | Description | Methods Unlocked |
+|------------|-------------|------------------|
+| `gpio` | Access GPIO pins | `get_gpio()` |
+| `i2c` | Access I2C bus | `get_i2c()` |
+| `spi` | Access SPI bus | `get_spi()` |
+| `serial` | Access serial ports | `get_serial()` |
+| `websocket` | Broadcast WebSocket events | `broadcast_event()` |
+| `camera` | Access camera | (future) |
+| `network_access` | Make network requests | (unrestricted) |
+| `pm3_flash` | Flash PM3 devices | (via hooks) |
+| `script_execution` | Execute user scripts | (sandboxed) |
+
+**Note:** Hardware permissions (`gpio`, `i2c`, `spi`, `serial`) require user consent at install time.
+Attempting to use hardware methods without the required permission raises `PermissionError`.
+
+## Hardware Libraries
+
+Plugins can depend on these for hardware access:
+- `RPi.GPIO` - GPIO pin control
+- `smbus2` - I2C communication
+- `spidev` - SPI communication
+- `gpiozero` - Higher-level GPIO abstraction
+- `pyserial` - Serial/UART communication
+- `opencv-python-headless` - Camera/image processing
+
+## Key Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `app/backend/managers/plugin_manager.py` | Core plugin framework, widgets, permissions |
+| `app/backend/services/hardware_service.py` | Hardware access layer (I2C, GPIO, SPI, Serial) |
+| `app/backend/websocket/notifications.py` | WebSocket event broadcasting |
+| `app/backend/api/plugins.py` | Plugin API endpoints |
+| `app/backend/api/system.py` | Widget API endpoints (`/api/system/widgets`) |
+| `app/frontend/app/components/HeaderWidgets.tsx` | Widget UI component |
+| `app/plugins/hello_world/` | Reference implementation |
+
+## Installation Sources
+
+1. **From registry** - Browse webstore → select plugin → auto-install
+2. **Direct URL** - Install from any GitHub release URL
+
+## Security Guidelines
+
+- Verify SHA256 checksums before extraction
+- Only install pip packages from PyPI
+- Sandbox script execution (no os, sys, subprocess access)
+- Display permissions to user before installation
+- Log all plugin installations
+
+## Related Plans
+
+See `/home/work/.claude/plans/tranquil-toasting-clover.md` for the full implementation plan including:
+- Multi-Flasher Plugin (parallel PM3 firmware flashing)
+- Color Detector Plugin (webcam color detection + WebREPL)

+# Plan: APT Optimization & PM3 Build Caching
+
+## Goal
+Reduce redundant network requests and unnecessary rebuilds during pi-gen image builds.
+
+---
+
+## Part 1: Consolidate APT operations in stageDangerousPi
+
+### 1A. Create a unified package list file for stageDangerousPi
+
+**File:** `pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/00-packages` (new)
+
+Move all apt packages currently installed inline across substages into a single
+pi-gen `00-packages` file at the stage root level. Pi-gen's `run_sub_stage()`
+already handles these automatically — one `apt-get install` call, one
+`Reading package lists` parse.
+
+**Problem:** pi-gen processes `XX-packages` files *per sub-stage directory*, not
+at the stage level. The `run_stage()` iterates over `${STAGE_DIR}/*` sub-stage
+directories, then `run_sub_stage()` looks for `{00..99}-packages` inside each.
+There is no stage-level package consolidation built in.
+
+**Revised approach:** Add a new sub-stage `00-apt-setup` that runs first (before
+`01-Wireless-AP`) and handles all package installation for the entire
+stageDangerousPi in one shot.
+
+Create: `pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/00-apt-setup/00-packages`
+```
+# All packages needed across stageDangerousPi substages
+# (consolidated to avoid redundant apt-get calls)
+
+# 01-Wireless-AP
+hostapd
+dnsmasq
+nftables
+nginx
+
+# 03-dangerous-pi
+nodejs
+npm
+lrzsz
+
+# 04-pisugar
+i2c-tools
+```
+
+Note: `python3-pip` is omitted because it's already present from stage2 (Python 3.13
+is installed in stage1, pip comes with it). The conditional `if ! command -v pip3`
+in 03-dangerous-pi is dead code.
+
+### 1B. Remove inline `apt-get install` calls from substage scripts
+
+**Files to modify:**
+
+1. `pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/01-Wireless-AP/00-run-chroot.sh`
+   - Remove lines 12-16 (`apt-get install -y hostapd dnsmasq nftables nginx`)
+   - Add a comment: `# Packages installed by 00-apt-setup stage`
+
+2. `pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/03-dangerous-pi/00-run-chroot.sh`
+   - Remove lines 17-25 (the conditional pip3 check + `apt-get update` + both
+     `apt-get install` calls)
+   - Add a comment noting packages come from 00-apt-setup
+
+3. `pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/04-pisugar/00-run-chroot.sh`
+   - Remove lines 49-50 (`apt-get update` + `apt-get install -y i2c-tools`)
+   - Add a comment noting i2c-tools comes from 00-apt-setup
+
+### 1C. Remove the redundant `apt-get update` from stagePM3
+
+**File:** `pi-gen/stagePM3/01-proxmark3/00-run-chroot.sh`
+- Remove line 11 (`apt-get update`)
+- The metadata was just refreshed by stage0's `00-configure-apt`. Between
+  stage0 and stagePM3, `copy_previous()` preserves `/var/lib/apt/lists/`
+  (only `/var/cache/apt/archives` is excluded). The index is still valid.
+
+**Risk assessment:** Low. The build runs in a single session — the metadata
+fetched minutes ago in stage0 hasn't changed. The build log confirms all 4
+repos returned `Hit:` (cache valid) when stagePM3 ran `apt-get update`.
+
+### Estimated savings
+- 2-3 redundant `apt-get update` round-trips eliminated: ~10-15s
+- ~5 fewer `Reading package lists` parses under QEMU: ~25-40s
+- Fewer apt-get install invocations (3→0 in stageDangerousPi): ~15-20s
+- **Total: ~50-75s per build**
+
+---
+
+## Part 2: PM3 build caching (skip rebuild when unchanged)
+
+### Problem
+The PM3 build (clone + compile firmware + client + SWIG bindings) takes
+~45-60 minutes under QEMU. Currently `from-pm3` always rebuilds it, even
+if nothing changed (same upstream commit, same patch, same build deps).
+
+### Approach: Content-addressed cache key
+
+Create a manifest file that captures everything that affects the PM3 build
+output. If the manifest matches what was used for the cached build, skip
+the entire PM3 compilation.
+
+**Cache key inputs:**
+1. The LED PWM control patch file hash
+2. The Proxmark3 upstream git commit (pinned or HEAD)
+3. The branding sed command in the build script
+4. The build script itself (00-run-chroot.sh)
+
+### Implementation
+
+#### 2A. Pin the Proxmark3 upstream commit
+
+**File:** `pi-gen/stagePM3/01-proxmark3/00-run-chroot.sh`
+
+Currently clones `HEAD` of master — non-deterministic. Change to clone a
+specific tag or commit:
+
+```bash
+PM3_VERSION="v4.20728"  # Pin to known-good release
+PM3_COMMIT=""           # Optional: specific commit hash
+
+git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3
+cd proxmark3
+if [ -n "$PM3_COMMIT" ]; then
+    git checkout "$PM3_COMMIT"
+fi
+```
+
+Add a small config file `pi-gen/stagePM3/pm3-version.conf`:
+```bash
+PM3_REPO="https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3"
+PM3_COMMIT="ef82d5ba1"  # from the build log version string
+```
+
+#### 2B. Generate and check a build manifest
+
+**File:** `pi-gen/stagePM3/01-proxmark3/00-run.sh` (pre-chroot, runs on host)
+
+Add manifest generation and comparison logic:
+
+```bash
+# Generate cache key from all PM3 build inputs
+generate_pm3_manifest() {
+    {
+        # Hash of the build script itself
+        sha256sum "${SCRIPT_DIR}/00-run-chroot.sh"
+        # Hash of the LED patch
+        sha256sum "${SCRIPT_DIR}/led-pwm-control.patch"
+        # PM3 version config
+        cat "${SCRIPT_DIR}/../pm3-version.conf" 2>/dev/null || echo "HEAD"
+    } | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f1
+}
+
+MANIFEST=$(generate_pm3_manifest)
+CACHED_MANIFEST="${ROOTFS_DIR}/opt/dangerous-pi/.pm3-build-manifest"
+
+if [ -f "$CACHED_MANIFEST" ] && [ "$(cat "$CACHED_MANIFEST")" = "$MANIFEST" ]; then
+    echo "PM3 build manifest unchanged — skipping rebuild"
+    # Create a SKIP file for the chroot script
+    touch "${SCRIPT_DIR}/SKIP_PM3_BUILD"
+else
+    echo "PM3 build manifest changed — will rebuild"
+    echo "  New: $MANIFEST"
+    [ -f "$CACHED_MANIFEST" ] && echo "  Old: $(cat "$CACHED_MANIFEST")"
+    rm -f "${SCRIPT_DIR}/SKIP_PM3_BUILD"
+fi
+```
+
+#### 2C. Honor the skip flag in the chroot build script
+
+**File:** `pi-gen/stagePM3/01-proxmark3/00-run-chroot.sh`
+
+Wrap the entire build in a check:
+
+```bash
+if [ -f /tmp/SKIP_PM3_BUILD ]; then
+    echo "=== Skipping Proxmark3 build (cached, manifest unchanged) ==="
+    # Still verify the installation is intact
+    DEFAULT_USER=$(awk -F: '$3 >= 1000 && $3 < 65534 {print $1; exit}' /etc/passwd)
+    DEFAULT_HOME=$(eval echo ~${DEFAULT_USER:-pi})
+    if [ -f "$DEFAULT_HOME/.pm3/proxmark3/client/proxmark3" ]; then
+        echo "✓ PM3 client binary present"
+        exit 0
+    else
+        echo "✗ PM3 binary missing despite manifest match — rebuilding"
+    fi
+fi
+
+# ... existing build logic ...
+```
+
+And at the end of a successful build, save the manifest:
+
+```bash
+# Save build manifest for future cache checks
+mkdir -p /opt/dangerous-pi
+# (manifest value is passed via a file from the pre-chroot script)
+if [ -f /tmp/pm3-build-manifest ]; then
+    cp /tmp/pm3-build-manifest /opt/dangerous-pi/.pm3-build-manifest
+fi
+```
+
+#### 2D. Pass files between pre-chroot and chroot
+
+**File:** `pi-gen/stagePM3/01-proxmark3/00-run.sh`
+
+The pre-chroot script already copies the LED patch into `${ROOTFS_DIR}/tmp/`.
+Extend it to also copy the skip flag and manifest value:
+
+```bash
+# Copy skip flag if set
+if [ -f "${SCRIPT_DIR}/SKIP_PM3_BUILD" ]; then
+    touch "${ROOTFS_DIR}/tmp/SKIP_PM3_BUILD"
+    rm -f "${SCRIPT_DIR}/SKIP_PM3_BUILD"
+fi
+
+# Always write current manifest for the chroot to save on success
+echo "$MANIFEST" > "${ROOTFS_DIR}/tmp/pm3-build-manifest"
+```
+
+#### 2E. Update build-image.sh for clarity
+
+Add a `--force-pm3` flag to `from-pm3` mode that removes the cached manifest,
+forcing a rebuild even if the inputs haven't changed:
+
+```bash
+from-pm3)
+    # ... existing logic ...
+    if [ "$FORCE_PM3" = "1" ]; then
+        echo "Forcing PM3 rebuild (--force-pm3 flag)"
+        # Remove cached manifest from the work directory rootfs
+        rm -f "${PI_GEN_DIR}/work/${IMG_NAME}/stagePM3/rootfs/opt/dangerous-pi/.pm3-build-manifest"
+    fi
+```
+
+And update the usage text to document the new behavior.

+## Part 3: File changes summary
+
+### New files
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/00-apt-setup/00-packages` | Consolidated package list |
+| `pi-gen/stagePM3/pm3-version.conf` | Pinned PM3 repo + commit |
+
+### Modified files
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `pi-gen/stagePM3/01-proxmark3/00-run.sh` | Add manifest generation, skip flag, manifest passthrough |
+| `pi-gen/stagePM3/01-proxmark3/00-run-chroot.sh` | Remove `apt-get update`; add skip check at top; save manifest on success; pin git clone to commit |
+| `pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/01-Wireless-AP/00-run-chroot.sh` | Remove inline `apt-get install` |
+| `pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/03-dangerous-pi/00-run-chroot.sh` | Remove conditional pip check, `apt-get update`, both `apt-get install` calls |
+| `pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/04-pisugar/00-run-chroot.sh` | Remove `apt-get update` + `apt-get install` |
+| `build-image.sh` | Add `--force-pm3` flag parsing and usage docs |
+
+### Not modified (left as-is)
+| File | Reason |
+|------|--------|
+| `pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/06-os-updates/00-packages` | Already uses file-based packages correctly |
+| `pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/03-dangerous-pi/00-run-chroot.sh` cleanup section | `apt-get clean/autoclean/autoremove` at bottom is still useful |
+| `pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/05-https-support/00-run-chroot.sh` | No apt calls to change |
+
+---
+
+## Risk assessment
+
+| Change | Risk | Mitigation |
+|--------|------|------------|
+| Removing `apt-get update` from stagePM3 | Low — metadata inherited from stage0, same build session | Build log proves `Hit:` on all repos |
+| Consolidating packages into 00-apt-setup | Low — same packages, just installed earlier | Substage ordering (00- before 01-) guarantees execution order |
+| Removing conditional pip3 install | Low — pip3 always present from stage1/2 Python install | Verified in stage2 package lists |
+| PM3 skip logic | Medium — if manifest check has a bug, stale binary ships | Verification step checks binary exists; `--force-pm3` escape hatch |
+| Pinning PM3 commit | Low — explicit is better than implicit HEAD | Documented in pm3-version.conf; easy to bump |
+
+## Testing approach
+
+1. Run `./build-image.sh test` to syntax-check all modified scripts
+2. Run `./build-image.sh from-dtpi` to verify APT consolidation works (Part 1)
+3. Run `./build-image.sh from-pm3` twice — second run should skip PM3 build (Part 2)
+4. Modify `led-pwm-control.patch` slightly, rebuild — should trigger PM3 rebuild
+5. Run `./build-image.sh from-pm3 --force-pm3` — should always rebuild

+# Dangerous Pi - BLE GATT Server Guide
+
+**Status**: ✅ Implemented - Ready for Integration
+**Architecture**: Service Layer Pattern - Zero Code Duplication
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Overview
+
+The Dangerous Pi BLE GATT server provides Bluetooth Low Energy access to all Dangerous Pi functionality by **reusing the exact same service layer** as the REST API. This ensures:
+
+✅ **Zero code duplication** - Business logic written once
+✅ **Identical behavior** - BLE and REST behave exactly the same
+✅ **Easy testing** - Service tests cover both interfaces
+✅ **Consistent errors** - Same error codes and handling
+

+```
+
+**Key Point**: BLE handlers and REST endpoints are BOTH thin adapters. They share 100% of business logic through the service layer.

+## 📱 Client Integration Examples
+
+### PM3 Command Execution
+
+```javascript
+// React Native / JavaScript example
+
+// 1. Connect to Dangerous Pi
+const device = await manager.connectToDevice(deviceId);
+await device.discoverAllServicesAndCharacteristics();
+
+// 2. Create session
+const sessionChar = "00000000-1234-5678-1234-56789abcdef4";
+const sessionRequest = JSON.stringify({ force_takeover: false });
+await device.writeCharacteristicWithResponseForService(
+  PM3_SERVICE_UUID,
+  sessionChar,
+  base64.encode(sessionRequest)
+);
+
+// 3. Execute PM3 command
+const commandChar = "00000000-1234-5678-1234-56789abcdef1";
+const command = JSON.stringify({
+  command: "hw version",
+  session_id: receivedSessionId
+});
+
+await device.writeCharacteristicWithResponseForService(
+  PM3_SERVICE_UUID,
+  commandChar,
+  base64.encode(command)
+);
+
+// 4. Listen for result notification
+const resultChar = "00000000-1234-5678-1234-56789abcdef2";
+device.monitorCharacteristicForService(
+  PM3_SERVICE_UUID,
+  resultChar,
+  (error, characteristic) => {
+    if (characteristic) {
+      const result = JSON.parse(base64.decode(characteristic.value));
+      console.log("Command result:", result.output);
+    }
+  }
+);
+```
+
+### WiFi Network Scan
+
+```javascript
+// 1. Trigger scan
+const scanChar = "00000000-1234-5678-1234-56789abcdef12";
+
+// Listen for scan results first
+device.monitorCharacteristicForService(
+  WIFI_SERVICE_UUID,
+  scanChar,
+  (error, characteristic) => {
+    if (characteristic) {
+      const result = JSON.parse(base64.decode(characteristic.value));
+      console.log("Found networks:", result.networks);
+      // Display networks in UI
+    }
+  }
+);
+
+// Trigger scan (empty JSON or specify interface)
+await device.writeCharacteristicWithResponseForService(
+  WIFI_SERVICE_UUID,
+  scanChar,
+  base64.encode(JSON.stringify({}))
+);
+```
+
+### WiFi Connect
+
+```javascript
+const connectChar = "00000000-1234-5678-1234-56789abcdef13";
+const connectRequest = JSON.stringify({
+  ssid: "MyNetwork",
+  password: "mypassword",
+  hidden: false
+});
+
+await device.writeCharacteristicWithResponseForService(
+  WIFI_SERVICE_UUID,
+  connectChar,
+  base64.encode(connectRequest)
+);
+```
+
+### System Information
+
+```javascript
+const infoChar = "00000000-1234-5678-1234-56789abcdef21";
+const infoBytes = await device.readCharacteristicForService(
+  SYSTEM_SERVICE_UUID,
+  infoChar
+);
+
+const info = JSON.parse(base64.decode(infoBytes.value));
+console.log("CPU:", info.cpu.percent + "%");
+console.log("Memory:", info.memory.percent + "%");
+console.log("Temperature:", info.cpu.temperature + "°C");
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔄 Data Formats
+
+All BLE characteristics use **JSON** for data exchange (encoded as UTF-8 bytes).
+
+### Request Format (Write Characteristics)
+```json
+{
+  "param1": "value1",
+  "param2": "value2"
+}
+```
+
+### Response Format (Read/Notify Characteristics)
+
+**Success Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "key": "value"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Error Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "error": {
+    "code": "error_code",
+    "message": "Human-readable message"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Error Codes
+
+Same error codes as REST API:
+- `session_locked` - Another session is active
+- `pm3_not_connected` - Proxmark3 not connected
+- `command_failed` - PM3 command failed
+- `connection_failed` - WiFi connection failed
+- `invalid_mode` - Invalid WiFi mode
+- `network_not_found` - Network not in saved list
+- `update_check_error` - Failed to check for updates
+- etc.
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+The GATT server has comprehensive unit tests:
+
+```bash
+# Run BLE GATT tests
+pytest tests/unit/ble/test_gatt_server.py
+
+# Test coverage
+pytest tests/unit/ble/ --cov=app/backend/ble
+```
+
+**Test Coverage:**
+- ✅ Characteristic handler registration
+- ✅ Delegation to services (PM3, WiFi, System, Update)
+- ✅ JSON encoding/decoding
+- ✅ Error handling
+- ✅ Notification system
+- ✅ Data format conversion
+
+### Integration Testing with Mobile App
+
+```python
+# Python example using bleak library
+import asyncio
+import json
+from bleak import BleakClient
+
+async def test_pm3_command():
+    async with BleakClient("AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF") as client:
+        # Write command
+        command_char = "00000000-1234-5678-1234-56789abcdef1"
+        command_data = json.dumps({
+            "command": "hw version",
+            "session_id": "test"
+        })
+
+        await client.write_gatt_char(
+            command_char,
+            command_data.encode('utf-8')
+        )
+
+        # Read status
+        status_char = "00000000-1234-5678-1234-56789abcdef3"
+        status_bytes = await client.read_gatt_char(status_char)
+        status = json.loads(status_bytes.decode('utf-8'))
+
+        print("PM3 Status:", status)
+
+asyncio.run(test_pm3_command())
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔐 Security Considerations
+
+### Authentication
+- BLE pairing should be required for sensitive operations
+- Consider implementing challenge-response authentication
+- Session IDs provide multi-user coordination
+
+### Encryption
+- Use BLE encryption (LE Secure Connections)
+- All data is already JSON, easy to add encryption layer
+- Consider end-to-end encryption for sensitive commands
+
+### Access Control
+- Session management prevents concurrent access conflicts
+- Can implement per-characteristic permissions
+- Rate limiting for command execution
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Integration with BLEManager
+
+The GATT server integrates with the existing BLEManager:
+
+```python
+# In app/backend/managers/ble_manager.py
+
+from ..ble.gatt_server import DangerousPiGATTServer
+
+class BLEManager:
+    def __init__(self):
+        # Existing notification support
+        self._notification_queue = asyncio.Queue()
+
+        # NEW: GATT server
+        self._gatt_server = None
+
+    async def initialize(self):
+        """Initialize BLE with GATT server."""
+        # Existing notification setup
+        await self._setup_notifications()
+
+        # NEW: Initialize and start GATT server
+        self._gatt_server = DangerousPiGATTServer()
+        await self._gatt_server.start()
+
+        # Register notification callbacks with actual BLE implementation
+        # (BlueZ, etc.)
+        self._register_gatt_characteristics()
+
+    def _register_gatt_characteristics(self):
+        """Register GATT characteristics with BLE stack."""
+        for uuid, handler in self._gatt_server.get_all_characteristics().items():
+            # Register with BlueZ or other BLE implementation
+            # Set up read/write callbacks
+            # Connect to GATT server handlers
+            pass
+```
+

+# Build Constraints and Optimization Strategy
+
+**Date:** 2025-11-27
+**Critical Context:** This project has severe bandwidth constraints that make build optimization MANDATORY, not optional.
+
+---
+
+## Primary Constraint: Slow Network
+
+**Measured download speed: ~265 kB/s (0.26 MB/s)**
+
+### Impact on Build Times
+
+| Stage | Download Size | Download Time | Total Time | Notes |
+|-------|---------------|---------------|------------|-------|
+| **stage0** | ~200 MB | 13 min | 18 min | Base Debian system |
+| **stage1** | ~450 MB | 29 min | 37 min | Kernel + firmware |
+| **stage2** | ~850 MB | 55 min | 65 min | Desktop + network tools |
+| **stagePM3** | ~220 MB | 14 min | 59 min | PM3 build (downloads + compile) |
+| **stageDangerousPi** | ~140 MB | 9 min | 12 min | Custom packages |
+| **TOTAL** | **~1.86 GB** | **~120 min** | **~191 min** | **3+ hours** |
+
+### Critical Implications
+
+1. **Every failed build wastes 3+ hours**
+2. **Stage0-2 alone = 2 hours of downloading**
+3. **Cannot afford trial-and-error debugging**
+4. **Pre-flight validation MUST be perfect**
+5. **Incremental builds are MANDATORY for iteration**
+
+---
+
+## Build Optimization Strategy
+
+### 1. QCOW2 Caching (MANDATORY)
+
+```bash
+# In pi-gen/config
+USE_QCOW2=1  # NEVER disable this
+```
+
+**Why:** Enables copy-on-write snapshots. After stage2 completes once (2 hours), we can rebuild from that point in ~70 minutes instead of 3+ hours.
+
+**Cache Location:** `/home/work/pi-gen-builder/work/*/stage*.qcow2`
+
+### 2. Three-Tier Build Strategy
+
+```bash
+# Full build: Clean slate (3+ hours)
+./build-image.sh full
+
+# From PM3: Rebuild PM3 + customizations (70 min)
+./build-image.sh from-pm3
+
+# From DangerousPi: Rebuild only customizations (5 min)
+./build-image.sh from-dtpi
+```
+
+**Daily workflow:**
+- First build: `full` (one-time 3hr investment)
+- Iterating on PM3 changes: `from-pm3` (70 min)
+- Iterating on app/WiFi/config: `from-dtpi` (5 min)
+
+### 3. Container vs Volume Management
+
+**CRITICAL DISTINCTION:**
+- **Container** (`docker rm pigen_work`): Safe to remove, just metadata
+- **Volume** (`docker rm -v pigen_work`): ❌ NEVER DO THIS - nukes 2hr download cache
+
+**Build script behavior:**
+- `full` mode: Removes container AND volume (fresh start)
+- `from-pm3` mode: Preserves cache, removes container
+- `from-dtpi` mode: Preserves cache, removes container
+
+---
+
+## Pre-Flight Validation Requirements
+
+### Philosophy
+
+> **"Fail fast, fail loud, fail BEFORE downloading anything"**
+
+With 3+ hour builds, we CANNOT afford to discover errors after stage0-2 completes.
+
+### Current Checks (52 total)
+
+✅ Pi-gen directory exists
+✅ Docker available and accessible
+✅ qemu-aarch64 registration
+✅ Config file validation
+✅ Stage structure (prerun.sh, EXPORT_IMAGE, substages)
+✅ Build script syntax validation
+✅ Dependency analysis (header → package mapping)
+✅ Source file availability
+✅ Build script validation
+
+### Required Additions
+
+The following checks MUST be added to prevent wasted builds:
+
+#### A. Pre-Download Validation
+- [ ] **Disk space check:** Require 15GB free before starting
+- [ ] **Network connectivity:** Verify can reach deb.debian.org
+- [ ] **Git repo accessibility:** Test clone URLs without cloning
+- [ ] **Stage size estimation:** Warn if total download > threshold
+
+#### B. Deep Script Analysis
+- [ ] **File reference validation:** Grep for all file paths in scripts, verify they exist
+- [ ] **Service file syntax:** Validate systemd .service files
+- [ ] **Environment variables:** Check for undefined vars in scripts
+- [ ] **Path existence:** Verify all mkdir -p targets don't conflict
+- [ ] **Port conflicts:** Check for duplicate port assignments
+
+#### C. Configuration Validation
+- [ ] **STAGE_LIST ordering:** Ensure stages are in dependency order
+- [ ] **EXPORT_IMAGE syntax:** Validate all EXPORT_IMAGE files
+- [ ] **Duplicate substages:** Check for numbering conflicts (e.g., two 00-run.sh in same stage)
+- [ ] **Username consistency:** Verify same user referenced across stages
+
+#### D. Build Artifact Validation
+- [ ] **Post-stage verification:** After each stage, check expected files exist
+- [ ] **Binary executability:** Test compiled binaries actually run
+- [ ] **Python import test:** Verify Python modules can be imported
+- [ ] **Service enable test:** Verify systemd services are enabled
+
+---
+
+## Development Workflow Optimizations
+
+### 1. Test Changes Locally First
+
+Before modifying stage scripts, test commands locally:
+
+```bash
+# Test PM3 dependency installation
+docker run --rm -it debian:trixie bash
+> apt-get update && apt-get install -y gcc-arm-none-eabi
+> which arm-none-eabi-gcc
+
+# Test Python package installation
+docker run --rm -it debian:trixie bash
+> apt-get update && apt-get install -y python3-pip
+> pip3 install --break-system-packages fastapi==0.115.0
+```
+
+**Saves:** Hours of build time by catching errors early
+
+### 2. Use Build Log Analysis
+
+During builds, monitor for early warning signs:
+
+```bash
+# Watch for errors in real-time
+docker logs -f pigen_work 2>&1 | grep -i "error\|fail\|fatal"
+
+# Check what stage we're on
+./scripts/build-status.sh
+
+# Estimate completion based on download speed
+docker logs pigen_work 2>&1 | grep "Fetched.*in.*(" | tail -5
+```
+
+### 3. Parallel Development
+
+While a build runs, prepare next iteration:
+
+```bash
+# Terminal 1: Build running
+./build-image.sh full
+
+# Terminal 2: Test next changes
+cd /tmp/test-changes
+# Test scripts, validate syntax, etc.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Failure Recovery Procedures
+
+### If Build Fails During stagePM3 or Later
+
+**DO NOT KILL CONTAINER**
+
+1. Let it fail completely
+2. Check what stage completed:
+   ```bash
+   ls -la /home/work/pi-gen-builder/work/*/stage*.qcow2
+   ```
+3. If stage2.qcow2 exists, you have cache:
+   ```bash
+   ./build-image.sh from-pm3
+   ```
+
+### If Build Fails During stage0-2
+
+**Only kill if you know stage will fail:**
+
+```bash
+# Check if we have partial cache
+ls -la /home/work/pi-gen-builder/work/*/stage*.qcow2
+
+# If no .qcow2 files, killing wastes nothing
+# If stage1.qcow2 exists, let it finish stage2
+```
+
+---
+
+## Cost-Benefit Analysis
+
+### Why Pre-Flight Validation Matters
+
+**Without perfect validation:**
+- Change PM3 script
+- Start 3hr build
+- Discover typo at hour 2.5
+- Fix typo
+- Restart 3hr build
+- **Total time wasted: 6 hours**
+
+**With perfect validation:**
+- Change PM3 script
+- Run pre-flight (30 seconds)
+- Catch typo immediately
+- Fix typo
+- Run pre-flight again (30 seconds)
+- Start build with confidence
+- **Total time wasted: 60 seconds**
+
+**ROI: 360x time savings**
+
+---
+
+## Questions for Future Optimization
+
+1. **Network caching:** Should we set up apt-cacher-ng to cache Debian packages locally?
+   - Pro: Rebuilds wouldn't re-download same packages
+   - Con: Setup complexity, disk space (20GB+)
+
+2. **Disk space monitoring:** Add alerts when cache disk < 10GB free?
+
+3. **Build checkpointing:** Should we export stage2.qcow2 as a baseline artifact?
+
+4. **Parallel builds:** Can we test multiple variants simultaneously?
+
+5. **Common errors database:** Should we maintain a list of known failure patterns to check for?
+
+---
+
+## Action Items
+
+### Immediate (Before Next Build)
+- [ ] Add disk space check to pre-flight
+- [ ] Add network connectivity check to pre-flight
+- [ ] Document common failure patterns we've seen
+- [ ] Test local command validation workflow
+
+### Short-term (This Week)
+- [ ] Add deep script validation (file references, env vars)
+- [ ] Create build artifact verification
+- [ ] Set up build time estimation based on network speed
+- [ ] Document recovery procedures for each failure type
+
+### Long-term (Future Optimization)
+- [ ] Consider apt-cacher-ng for package caching
+- [ ] Automated build artifact testing
+- [ ] Build time alerting/monitoring
+- [ ] Stage baseline export/import
+
+---
+
+## Key Takeaway
+
+> **Every validation check we add to pre-flight saves potentially 3+ hours of wasted build time.**
+>
+> **Spending 5 minutes improving pre-flight can save hours of debugging.**
+>
+> **This is not premature optimization - it's mandatory survival strategy.**

+- **8GB+ RAM** recommended
+- **20GB+ free disk space**
+
+### Install Docker
+
+```bash
+# macOS
+brew install docker
+
+# Ubuntu/Debian
+sudo apt-get install docker.io
+
+# Or use Docker Desktop
+```
+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Clone pi-gen
+
+```bash
+# Clone the official pi-gen repository
+git clone https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen.git
+cd pi-gen
+
+# Checkout arm64 branch (for Pi Zero 2 W)
+git checkout arm64
+```
+
+### 2. Copy Dangerous Pi Stage
+
+```bash
+# From your dangerous-pi repository
+cp -r /path/to/dangerous-pi/pi-gen/stageDTPM3 /path/to/pi-gen/
+cp /path/to/dangerous-pi/pi-gen/config /path/to/pi-gen/config
+```
+
+## Build Methods
+
+### Method 1: Full Build (Recommended for First Time)
+
+Builds a complete Raspberry Pi OS image with all your customizations.
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/pi-gen
+
+# Start full build
+sudo ./build.sh
+```
+
+**Build Time**: 1-2 hours
+**Output**: Complete bootable image in `deploy/` directory
+
+### Method 2: Quick Build (Development)
+
+For rapid iteration when testing changes:
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/pi-gen
+
+# Only rebuild your custom stage
+CONTINUE=1 STAGE=stageDTPM3 sudo ./build.sh
+```
+
+**Build Time**: 5-10 minutes
+**Use Case**: Testing Dangerous Pi code changes only
+
+### Method 3: Using Docker (Recommended)
+
+Clean, isolated build environment:
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/pi-gen
+
+# Build in Docker container
+./docker-build.sh
+```
+
+**Advantages**:
+- No host system pollution
+- Consistent build environment
+- Works on macOS
+
+## Build Script Helper
+
+Use the provided helper script for easier builds:
+
+```bash
+# From dangerous-pi directory
+./build-image.sh full    # Full build
+./build-image.sh quick   # Incremental build
+./build-image.sh test    # Validate scripts
+```
+
+**Note**: Update the `PI_GEN_DIR` variable in [build-image.sh](build-image.sh) to point to your pi-gen installation.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Your build configuration is defined in [pi-gen/config](pi-gen/config):
+
+```bash
+IMG_NAME="Proxmark3"           # Image name
+RELEASE="trixie"               # Debian Trixie
+TARGET_HOSTNAME="Proxmark3"    # Hostname
+FIRST_USER_NAME="dt"           # Default user
+FIRST_USER_PASS="proxmark3"    # Default password
+ENABLE_SSH=1                   # SSH enabled
+STAGE_LIST="stage0 stage1 stage2 stageDTPM3"
+```
+
+### Customizing the Build
+
+Edit `config` to customize:
+
+**Change hostname**:
+```bash
+TARGET_HOSTNAME="dangerous-pi"
+```
+
+**Change default credentials**:
+```bash
+FIRST_USER_NAME="admin"
+FIRST_USER_PASS="your-secure-password"
+```
+
+**Change WiFi country**:
+```bash
+WPA_COUNTRY="GB"  # UK
+```
+
+**Skip stages** (for faster builds):
+```bash
+# Only include your custom stage (requires base stages)
+STAGE_LIST="stage0 stage1 stage2 stageDTPM3"
+```
+
+## Stage Architecture
+
+Your custom `stageDTPM3` includes 4 sub-stages that run in order:
+
+### Stage 01: Proxmark3
+- Compiles Proxmark3 firmware and client
+- Installs to `/usr/local/bin`
+
+### Stage 02: RaspAP (Wireless AP)
+- Configures WiFi access point
+- Default SSID: `raspi-webgui`
+- Default password: `ChangeMe`
+
+### Stage 03: ttyd (Web Terminal)
+- Installs web-based terminal
+- Accessible at `http://10.3.141.1:8000/`
+
+### Stage 04: Dangerous Pi
+- Installs your custom application
+- Location: `/opt/dangerous-pi`
+- Auto-starts on boot via systemd
+
+## Build Output
+
+After successful build:
+
+```
+pi-gen/
+└── deploy/
+    ├── image_2025-11-26-Proxmark3.img        # Bootable image
+    ├── image_2025-11-26-Proxmark3.img.zip    # Compressed image
+    └── build.log                              # Build logs
+```
+
+## Flashing the Image
+
+### Using Balena Etcher (Easiest)
+
+1. Download [Balena Etcher](https://etcher.balena.io/)
+2. Select your `.img` or `.zip` file
+3. Select your SD card
+4. Click "Flash!"
+
+### Using dd (Linux/macOS)
+
+```bash
+# Find your SD card device
+lsblk  # Linux
+diskutil list  # macOS
+
+# Flash image (replace /dev/sdX with your device)
+sudo dd if=deploy/image_2025-11-26-Proxmark3.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress
+
+# Sync and eject
+sync
+sudo eject /dev/sdX
+```
+
+**Warning**: Double-check the device path! Using the wrong device will destroy data.
+
+## Testing the Image
+
+### 1. Boot the Pi
+
+1. Insert SD card into Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
+2. Connect Proxmark3 via USB
+3. Power on the Pi
+4. Wait ~1 minute for first boot
+
+### 2. Connect to Access Point
+
+```
+SSID: raspi-webgui
+Password: ChangeMe
+Gateway: 10.3.141.1
+```
+
+### 3. Run Automated Tests
+
+```bash
+# From your development machine
+./test-image.sh 10.3.141.1
+```
+
+This will verify:
+- SSH connectivity
+- Service status
+- Hardware access
+- API endpoints
+- Python dependencies
+
+### 4. Manual Verification
+
+**SSH into device**:
+```bash
+ssh dt@10.3.141.1
+# Password: proxmark3
+```
+
+**Check service status**:
+```bash
+sudo systemctl status dangerous-pi.service
+sudo journalctl -u dangerous-pi.service -f
+```
+
+**Test API**:
+```bash
+curl http://10.3.141.1:8000/api/health
+curl http://10.3.141.1:8000/api/system/info
+```
+
+**Access web interface**:
+- Frontend: http://10.3.141.1:3000 (if frontend running)
+- Backend: http://10.3.141.1:8000/docs (API docs)
+- RaspAP: http://10.3.141.1/ (WiFi management)
+- ttyd: http://10.3.141.1:8000/ (web terminal - port conflict!)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Fails - Permission Denied
+
+```bash
+# Ensure scripts are executable
+chmod +x pi-gen/stageDTPM3/*/00-*.sh
+```
+
+### Build Fails - Docker Issues
+
+```bash
+# Ensure Docker is running
+docker ps
+
+# Clean up old containers
+docker system prune -a
+```
+
+### Build Fails - Disk Space
+
+```bash
+# Check available space (need 20GB+)
+df -h
+
+# Clean up old builds
+sudo rm -rf pi-gen/work pi-gen/deploy
+```
+
+### Service Not Starting After Boot
+
+**Check logs**:
+```bash
+ssh dt@10.3.141.1
+sudo journalctl -u dangerous-pi.service -n 50
+```
+
+**Common issues**:
+1. Port conflict with ttyd (see [PORT_CONFLICT.md](PORT_CONFLICT.md))
+2. Missing Python dependencies
+3. Incorrect file permissions
+4. Environment variables not set
+
+**Quick fix**:
+```bash
+# Restart service
+sudo systemctl restart dangerous-pi.service
+
+# Check status
+sudo systemctl status dangerous-pi.service
+```
+
+### Image Too Large
+
+Your current build should be ~600-700MB. If it's larger:
+
+**Check what's using space**:
+```bash
+ssh dt@10.3.141.1
+du -sh /* | sort -h | tail -10
+```
+
+**Already implemented optimizations**:
+- ✅ Package cache cleanup (`apt-get clean`)
+- ✅ Pip cache cleanup (`pip3 cache purge`)
+- ✅ Auto-remove unused packages
+
+### Can't Access Hardware (I2C, GPIO, Serial)
+
+**Verify groups**:
+```bash
+ssh dt@10.3.141.1
+groups pi  # Should show: i2c bluetooth gpio dialout
+```
+
+**If missing**:
+```bash
+sudo usermod -a -G i2c,bluetooth,gpio,dialout pi
+# Log out and back in
+```
+
+**Verify devices exist**:
+```bash
+ls -la /dev/i2c*     # I2C bus
+ls -la /dev/ttyACM*  # Proxmark3
+```
+
+## Optimization Tips
+
+### Faster Builds
+
+1. **Use incremental builds** during development
+2. **Cache compiled binaries** from previous builds
+3. **Use Docker** for consistent environment
+4. **Skip unnecessary stages** in config
+
+### Smaller Images
+
+Already implemented in your scripts:
+- Package manager cleanup
+- No development packages
+- No man pages
+- Pip cache removal
+
+### Build Caching
+
+Pi-gen caches build artifacts in `work/` directory:
+
+```bash
+# Keep work directory for incremental builds
+# Clean when you want fresh build
+sudo rm -rf work/
+```
+
+## Version Management
+
+Set version before building:
+
+```bash
+echo "1.0.0" > /path/to/dangerous-pi/VERSION
+```
+
+This version will be copied into the image at `/opt/dangerous-pi/VERSION`.
+
+## Advanced: Custom Stage Development
+
+### Script Execution Order
+
+For each stage directory (`NN-name/`), pi-gen runs:
+
+1. `00-run.sh` - Host-side preparation (optional)
+2. `00-run-chroot.sh` - Chroot installation (required)
+3. `01-run-chroot.sh` - Additional chroot tasks (optional)
+4. `02-run-chroot.sh` - More chroot tasks (optional)
+
+### Adding New Stage
+
+```bash
+cd pi-gen/stageDTPM3
+
+# Create new stage
+mkdir 05-my-feature
+cd 05-my-feature
+
+# Create installation script
+cat > 00-run-chroot.sh << 'EOF'
+#!/bin/bash -e
+echo "Installing my feature..."
+apt-get install -y my-package
+EOF
+
+chmod +x 00-run-chroot.sh
+```
+
+### Stage Best Practices
+
+1. **Use `#!/bin/bash -e`** - Exit on error
+2. **Use `$ROOTFS_DIR`** in 00-run.sh for paths
+3. **Clean up** package caches at end
+4. **Set ownership** for files (chown pi:pi)
+5. **Document** in README.md what stage does
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **First build**: Run full build to create base image
+2. **Test hardware**: Flash to SD card and test on Pi Zero 2 W
+3. **Iterate**: Make changes and use quick builds
+4. **Document**: Update configuration for your needs
+5. **Deploy**: Create final production image

+# Dangerous Pi Build System
+
+## Overview
+
+The build system is now split into two separate stages for faster iteration:
+
+```
+stage0, stage1, stage2 → stagePM3 → stageDangerousPi
+                        (cached)   (cached)
+```
+
+## Build Commands
+
+### `./build-image.sh full`
+**Build all stages from scratch (~1 hour)**
+- Use for: First build or major system changes
+- Builds: stage0 → stage1 → stage2 → stagePM3 → stageDangerousPi
+- Creates cached .qcow2 images for future builds
+
+### `./build-image.sh from-pm3`
+**Rebuild PM3 + customizations (~50 min)**
+- Use for: Updating Proxmark3 firmware/client version
+- Skips: stage0, stage1, stage2 (uses cached images)
+- Builds: stagePM3 → stageDangerousPi
+- Updates PM3 cache for future `from-dtpi` builds
+
+### `./build-image.sh from-dtpi` ⭐ Daily Development
+**Rebuild only customizations (~5 min)**
+- Use for: Daily development, iterating on your app
+- Skips: stage0, stage1, stage2, stagePM3 (all cached)
+- Builds: stageDangerousPi only
+- **Fastest iteration cycle for app development**
+- Requires: Previous `full` or `from-pm3` build
+
+### `./build-image.sh test`
+**Validate all scripts without building**
+- Syntax checks all stage scripts
+- Verifies required files exist
+- Quick sanity check before building
+
+## Stage Structure
+
+### stagePM3 (Proxmark3 Base)
+- **01-proxmark3/** - PM3 firmware + client + Python bindings
+- **EXPORT_IMAGE** - Creates cached image at this point
+- Build time: ~45 minutes
+- Change frequency: Rarely (only when updating PM3)
+
+### stageDangerousPi (Customizations)
+- **01-Wireless-AP/** - WiFi access point + captive portal
+- **02-ttyd/** - Web terminal (bash + PM3)
+- **03-dangerous-pi/** - Your FastAPI app + frontend
+- **EXPORT_IMAGE** - Creates final deployable image
+- Build time: ~5 minutes
+- Change frequency: Daily (your code)
+
+## Workflow Examples
+
+### First-time setup:
+```bash
+./build-image.sh full
+# Wait ~1 hour
+# Image: deploy/Proxmark3-dangerous-pi.img
+```
+
+### Daily development (app changes):
+```bash
+# Edit your code in app/
+./build-image.sh from-dtpi
+# Wait ~5 minutes
+# Image: deploy/Proxmark3-dangerous-pi.img
+```
+
+### Update PM3 version:
+```bash
+# Edit pi-gen/stagePM3/01-proxmark3/00-run-chroot.sh
+./build-image.sh from-pm3
+# Wait ~50 minutes
+# Updates PM3 cache + final image
+```
+
+### Clean rebuild:
+```bash
+docker rm pigen_work
+./build-image.sh full
+```
+
+## Cache Management
+
+**QCOW2 caching is enabled** (`USE_QCOW2=1` in config)
+
+Cached images are stored in:
+- `work/*/stage2/*.qcow2` - Base OS (30 min to rebuild)
+- `work/*/stagePM3/*.qcow2` - PM3 build (45 min to rebuild)
+
+To clear cache and force full rebuild:
+```bash
+rm -rf /home/work/pi-gen-builder/work
+```
+
+## Build Fixes Applied
+
+1. **Directory creation** - Fixed missing `/etc/network/interfaces.d/` errors
+2. **No sudo requirement** - Patched pi-gen to skip sudo prompts
+3. **Source file copying** - Automated app/systemd/scripts integration
+4. **Stage caching** - Enabled QCOW2 for fast incremental builds
+
+## Time Savings
+
+| Build Type | Time | Use Case |
+|------------|------|----------|
+| Full | ~60 min | First build |
+| from-pm3 | ~50 min | Update PM3 |
+| from-dtpi | **~5 min** | Daily dev ⭐ |
+
+**Daily workflow time savings: 55 minutes per build!**

+# Docker + QCOW2 Setup Requirements
+
+**Critical:** This document explains how to enable QCOW2 caching in pi-gen Docker builds. **Skipping this will cost you hours of wasted build time.**
+
+---
+
+## The Problem
+
+Pi-gen's `USE_QCOW2=1` config option **does not work out-of-the-box** with Docker mode. If you don't set this up correctly:
+
+❌ **No .qcow2 snapshot files are created**
+❌ **Builds cannot be cached or resumed**
+❌ **Every build takes full 3+ hours, even after failures**
+❌ **No incremental `from-pm3` or `from-dtpi` builds**
+
+**This problem cost us an 82-minute build** when it failed at stagePM3 with zero cache preserved.
+
+---
+
+## Root Cause
+
+QCOW2 support requires:
+1. `qemu-utils` package in Docker image (provides `qemu-nbd`)
+2. NBD kernel module loaded on **host system**
+3. `/dev/nbd*` devices available to Docker container
+
+**Pi-gen's default Dockerfile is missing `qemu-utils`**, so QCOW2 silently fails.
+
+---
+
+## The Fix (One-Time Setup)
+
+### Step 1: Load NBD Kernel Module on Host
+
+**Requires root/sudo access:**
+
+```bash
+# Load NBD module
+sudo modprobe nbd max_part=8
+
+# Verify it loaded
+lsmod | grep nbd
+ls /dev/nbd*  # Should show /dev/nbd0, /dev/nbd1, etc.
+```
+
+**Make it persistent across reboots:**
+
+```bash
+# Auto-load on boot
+echo "nbd" | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/nbd.conf
+
+# Set max_part option
+echo "options nbd max_part=8" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nbd.conf
+```
+
+### Step 2: Fix Pi-Gen Dockerfile
+
+Edit `/home/work/pi-gen-builder/Dockerfile` and add `qemu-utils`:
+
+```dockerfile
+RUN apt-get -y update && \
+    apt-get -y install --no-install-recommends \
+        git vim parted \
+        quilt coreutils qemu-user-static qemu-utils debootstrap zerofree zip dosfstools e2fsprogs\
+        libarchive-tools libcap2-bin rsync grep udev xz-utils curl xxd file kmod bc \
+        binfmt-support ca-certificates fdisk gpg pigz arch-test \
+    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+```
+
+**Key change:** Added `qemu-utils` after `qemu-user-static` on line 9.
+
+### Step 3: Rebuild Pi-Gen Image
+
+```bash
+cd /home/work/pi-gen-builder
+docker build -t pi-gen .
+```
+
+**Expected output:**
+```
+Successfully built <image-id>
+Successfully tagged pi-gen:latest
+```
+
+### Step 4: Verify Setup
+
+```bash
+# Check NBD on host
+lsmod | grep nbd
+
+# Check qemu-nbd in container
+docker run --rm pi-gen which qemu-nbd
+# Should output: /usr/bin/qemu-nbd
+```
+
+---
+
+## Verification: QCOW2 Works
+
+After setup, run a build and verify .qcow2 files are created:
+
+```bash
+# Start a build
+./build-image.sh full
+
+# In another terminal, check for .qcow2 files after stage0 completes
+docker exec pigen_work find /pi-gen/work -name "*.qcow2"
+
+# Should see files like:
+# /pi-gen/work/Proxmark3/stage0/EXPORT_IMAGE.qcow2
+# /pi-gen/work/Proxmark3/stage1/EXPORT_IMAGE.qcow2
+# etc.
+```
+
+If you see .qcow2 files, **caching is working!**
+
+---
+
+## What Happens Without This Setup
+
+### Symptom: Silent Failure
+
+When QCOW2 is not properly configured:
+1. Config has `USE_QCOW2=1` ✅
+2. Build appears to run normally ✅
+3. **But .qcow2 files are never created** ❌
+4. Build completes or fails with no cache ❌
+5. `from-pm3` and `from-dtpi` modes see "No cached stages found" ❌
+
+### Example: What We Experienced
+
+```bash
+$ ./build-image.sh full
+# ... 82 minutes later ...
+[21:14:41] Build failed
+
+$ ls /home/work/pi-gen-builder/work/
+# Nothing - directory doesn't exist on host (it's in Docker volume)
+
+$ docker run --rm -v <volume-id>:/work alpine find /work -name "*.qcow2"
+# No output - no .qcow2 files exist!
+
+$ ./build-image.sh from-pm3
+No cached stages found - will build all stages
+# Another 3 hours wasted!
+```
+
+**Total time wasted:** 5+ hours across 2 builds
+**Total data downloaded:** 3.6GB+ (twice)
+**Cause:** Missing 10MB `qemu-utils` package and NBD module
+
+---
+
+## Why NBD Module Is Required
+
+QCOW2 (QEMU Copy-On-Write version 2) requires Network Block Device (NBD) to mount images:
+
+1. **qemu-nbd** creates a virtual block device from .qcow2 file
+2. **NBD kernel module** provides /dev/nbd* devices
+3. **Docker container** accesses these devices from host kernel
+
+**Key point:** Kernel modules **cannot** be loaded from inside Docker. They must be loaded on the host system by a privileged user.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Problem: "No cached stages found" after build
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+```bash
+# Check if .qcow2 files exist in Docker volume
+docker ps -a | grep pigen_work  # Get container ID
+docker inspect <container-id> | grep -A20 "Mounts"  # Find volume ID
+docker run --rm -v <volume-id>:/work alpine find /work -name "*.qcow2"
+```
+
+**If no .qcow2 files found:**
+- NBD module not loaded on host
+- `qemu-utils` not in Docker image
+- QCOW2 creation failed silently
+
+### Problem: NBD module won't load
+
+```bash
+$ sudo modprobe nbd
+modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nbd': Operation not permitted
+```
+
+**Causes:**
+- Running in a VM or container without kernel module support
+- Kernel doesn't have NBD compiled in
+- Secure boot preventing module loading
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Check `grep NBD /boot/config-$(uname -r)` - should show `CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD=m` or `=y`
+- If VM: Enable NBD in host kernel, not guest
+- If container: Use host's Docker, not Docker-in-Docker
+
+### Problem: Build fails with "nbd: device nbd0 not found"
+
+**Cause:** NBD module loaded but Docker container can't access /dev/nbd* devices
+
+**Solution:**
+- Ensure Docker has access to host devices (usually automatic)
+- Try `--privileged` mode (pi-gen already uses this)
+- Verify `/dev/nbd*` exist on host
+
+---
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+### Without QCOW2 (Before Fix)
+
+| Build Type | Time | Downloads | Cache |
+|------------|------|-----------|-------|
+| **Full build** | 3+ hours | 1.8GB | None |
+| **After failure** | 3+ hours | 1.8GB | None |
+| **Fix typo** | 3+ hours | 1.8GB | None |
+
+**Every change = 3+ hours + 1.8GB downloads**
+
+### With QCOW2 (After Fix)
+
+| Build Type | Time | Downloads | Cache |
+|------------|------|-----------|-------|
+| **Full build (first time)** | 3+ hours | 1.8GB | stage0-2 cached |
+| **Rebuild from PM3** | ~70 min | ~220MB | Reuses stage0-2 |
+| **Rebuild from DTPI** | ~5 min | ~140MB | Reuses stage0-PM3 |
+
+**ROI: 70-180 minutes saved per rebuild**
+
+---
+
+## Quick Setup Script
+
+Save this as `scripts/setup-docker-qcow2.sh`:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# One-time setup for QCOW2 support in pi-gen Docker builds
+set -e

+# Docker Setup for Pi-gen Builds
+
+## Current Situation
+
+You need Docker access to build Raspberry Pi images, but you're not in the `docker` group.
+
+## Quick Fix (Requires Admin)
+
+**Ask someone with sudo access to run:**
+
+```bash
+sudo usermod -aG docker work
+```
+
+**Then YOU run:**
+
+```bash
+# Refresh your groups (pick one)
+newgrp docker           # Option 1: New shell with updated groups
+# OR
+exit                    # Option 2: Log out and back in
+```
+
+**Verify it works:**
+
+```bash
+docker ps               # Should work without "permission denied"
+```
+
+## Current Docker Group Members
+
+```
+docker:x:984:michael
+```
+
+User `michael` is in the docker group - they may be able to help or know who can.
+
+## After Docker Access is Granted
+
+You can then build your image with:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/work/pi-gen-builder
+./build-docker.sh
+```
+
+Or use the helper script:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/work/dangerous-pi
+./build-image.sh full
+```
+
+## Alternative: GitHub Actions (No Local Docker Needed)
+
+If you can't get local Docker access, we can set up automated builds using GitHub Actions.
+
+### Advantages
+- ✅ No local Docker required
+- ✅ Free for public repos
+- ✅ Builds run in the cloud
+- ✅ Automatic on every push
+- ✅ Download built images as artifacts
+
+### Setup
+
+Would create `.github/workflows/build-image.yml` that:
+1. Checks out your code
+2. Runs pi-gen build in GitHub's Docker environment
+3. Uploads the resulting image as a downloadable artifact
+
+**Build time**: ~1-2 hours in GitHub Actions
+**Cost**: Free (public repos get 2000 minutes/month)
+
+Let me know if you want me to create the GitHub Actions workflow!
+
+## Alternative: Cloud VM (Temporary)
+
+If you need to build NOW and can't wait for permissions:
+
+### Option 1: Oracle Cloud (Free Tier)
+```bash
+# Create free ARM VM
+# SSH in and run:
+git clone https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen.git pi-gen-builder
+cd pi-gen-builder && git checkout arm64
+# Copy your files and build
+```
+
+### Option 2: DigitalOcean
+```bash
+# $5/month droplet (destroy after build)
+# Similar setup
+```
+
+### Option 3: AWS EC2
+```bash
+# t2.micro (free tier eligible)
+```
+
+## Summary
+
+**Fastest solution**: Ask someone with sudo to add you to docker group (1 minute)
+
+**No-permission solution**: GitHub Actions (30 minutes to set up, then automatic)
+
+**Alternative**: Build on cloud VM (requires account setup)
+
+---
+
+**Current Status**: ⏸️ Waiting for Docker group access
+
+**Blocker**: Need `sudo usermod -aG docker work` to be run
+
+**Who can help**: User `michael` or system administrator

+# Field Strength Reporting - Firmware Modification Research
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**Goal:** Modify PM3 firmware to report real-time LF and HF field strength values to enable LED brightness control via Lua script.
+
+**Verdict:** **LOW IMPACT, RECOMMENDED FOR IMPLEMENTATION**
+
+The modification is straightforward, follows existing patterns, and has minimal risk. Estimated implementation time: 45-60 minutes including testing.
+
+---
+
+## Current Situation
+
+### Existing `hw detectreader` Command
+- Uses `CMD_LISTEN_READER_FIELD` (0x0420)
+- Firmware function: `ListenReaderField()` in [armsrc/appmain.c:686-850](armsrc/appmain.c#L686)
+- **Problem:** Firmware only:
+  - Prints values via `Dbprintf()` (debug output, not accessible from Lua)
+  - Controls LEDs directly in firmware (hard-coded patterns)
+  - Never sends field strength data back to client
+
+### What We Need
+- Continuous streaming of LF and HF field strength values (in mV)
+- Accessible from Lua scripts via `reply_ng()`
+- Update rate: ~20 Hz (50ms intervals)
+- Data format: Two uint16_t values (LF voltage, HF voltage)
+
+---
+
+## Proposed Solution
+
+### Architecture Pattern
+Follow the existing `CMD_MEASURE_ANTENNA_TUNING_HF` pattern:
+
+**Mode-based state machine:**
+```c
+Mode 1: Initialize measurement (reply with PM3_SUCCESS)
+Mode 2: Measure and return data (reply with field strength values)
+Mode 3: Shutdown (reply with PM3_SUCCESS)
+```
+
+This pattern is proven, well-tested, and already used successfully.
+
+### Implementation Approach
+
+#### Option A: Modify Existing Command (RECOMMENDED)
+**Extend `CMD_LISTEN_READER_FIELD` to support data reporting**
+
+**Pros:**
+- No new command ID needed
+- Leverages existing hardware code
+- Backwards compatible (mode 1 = current behavior, mode 2 = new streaming)
+- Minimal code changes
+
+**Cons:**
+- Slight complexity in command handler (mode switching)
+
+#### Option B: Create New Command
+**Add `CMD_LISTEN_READER_FIELD_STREAM` (0x0421)**
+
+**Pros:**
+- Cleaner separation of concerns
+- No risk to existing hw detectreader functionality
+
+**Cons:**
+- Need to allocate new command ID
+- Duplicate some existing code
+- More changes required
+
+**Recommendation:** **Option A** - Extend existing command with mode parameter
+
+---
+
+## Required Changes
+
+### 1. Firmware Changes (armsrc/appmain.c)
+
+**Location:** `ListenReaderField()` function, line 686
+
+**Change:**
+```c
+// Current: void ListenReaderField(uint8_t limit)
+// Modified: void ListenReaderField(uint8_t limit, uint8_t mode)
+
+// Add mode parameter:
+// mode 0: Original behavior (LED patterns, debug output)
+// mode 1: Stream data mode (send values via reply_ng)
+```
+
+**Modification in main loop (lines 744-778):**
+```c
+if (mode == 1) {
+    // Create payload struct
+    struct {
+        uint16_t lf_mv;
+        uint16_t hf_mv;
+    } __attribute__((packed)) payload;
+
+    payload.lf_mv = lf_av;
+    payload.hf_mv = hf_av;
+
+    // Send values back to client
+    reply_ng(CMD_LISTEN_READER_FIELD, PM3_SUCCESS,
+             (uint8_t *)&payload, sizeof(payload));
+}
+```
+
+**Lines of code to add:** ~20 lines
+**Lines to modify:** ~5 lines
+**Risk level:** LOW (contained change, existing patterns)
+
+### 2. Command Handler Changes (armsrc/appmain.c)
+
+**Location:** `case CMD_LISTEN_READER_FIELD:` line 2543
+
+**Change:**
+```c
+case CMD_LISTEN_READER_FIELD: {
+    if (packet->length != 2)  // Was: != 1
+        break;
+    uint8_t limit = packet->data.asBytes[0];
+    uint8_t mode = packet->data.asBytes[1];  // NEW
+    ListenReaderField(limit, mode);          // Pass mode
+    reply_ng(CMD_LISTEN_READER_FIELD, PM3_EOPABORTED, NULL, 0);
+    break;
+}
+```
+
+**Lines to modify:** 3 lines
+**Risk level:** MINIMAL
+
+### 3. Client Changes (client/src/cmdhw.c)
+
+**Location:** `CmdDetectReader()` function, line 534
+
+**No changes required** - existing hw detectreader continues to work (mode=0)
+
+**For new Lua script:**
+```lua
+-- Send mode=1 to enable streaming
+local data = string.char(limit, 1)  -- limit, mode
+command = Command:newNG{
+    cmd = cmds.CMD_LISTEN_READER_FIELD,
+    data = data
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Optional: Add Payload Structure (include/pm3_cmd.h)
+
+**Location:** After line 246
+
+**Add:**
+```c
+// Field strength measurement payload
+typedef struct {
+    uint16_t lf_mv;  // LF field strength in millivolts
+    uint16_t hf_mv;  // HF field strength in millivolts
+} PACKED payload_field_strength_t;
+```
+
+**Lines to add:** 5 lines
+**Risk level:** ZERO (optional documentation, doesn't affect functionality)
+
+---
+
+## Potential Complications & Mitigations
+
+### 1. SWIG Python Wrapper
+**Issue:** If we modify pm3_cmd.h, SWIG must be rebuilt
+**Impact:** Medium (requires manual rebuild)
+**Mitigation:**
+- Document rebuild requirement
+- Add to our build script
+- Only affects Python bindings (Lua unaffected)
+
+**Commands:**
+```bash
+cd client/experimental_lib
+./00make_swig.sh
+./01make_lib.sh
+```
+
+### 2. Backwards Compatibility
+**Issue:** Old clients won't understand mode parameter
+**Impact:** LOW
+**Mitigation:**
+- Old clients send 1 byte (mode defaults to 0)
+- New clients send 2 bytes (mode specified)
+- Firmware handles both gracefully
+
+### 3. Update Rate Performance
+**Issue:** 20 Hz update rate = 20 USB packets/sec
+**Impact:** MINIMAL
+**Analysis:**
+- Each packet: ~20 bytes (4 bytes payload + overhead)
+- Total bandwidth: 400 bytes/sec = 0.4 KB/sec
+- USB 2.0 full-speed: 12 Mbps = 1.5 MB/sec
+- **Utilization: 0.027%** - negligible
+
+### 4. Firmware Flash Size
+**Issue:** Adding code increases firmware size
+**Impact:** NEGLIGIBLE
+**Analysis:**
+- Adding ~20 lines ≈ 200-300 bytes compiled
+- Current firmware size: ~200 KB (typical)
+- Flash capacity: 512 KB (PM3 Easy)
+- **Increase: <0.15%** - safe margin
+
+### 5. Testing Requirements
+**Issue:** Need to verify on actual hardware
+**Impact:** Medium (requires physical device)
+**Test cases:**
+```
+1. LF field detection (125 kHz reader)
+2. HF field detection (13.56 MHz reader/phone NFC)
+3. Simultaneous LF+HF
+4. Backwards compatibility (old hw detectreader still works)
+5. LED brightness control from Lua
+```
+
+---
+
+## Build & Flash Process
+
+### 1. Modify Code
+- Edit `armsrc/appmain.c` (~25 lines)
+- Optional: Edit `include/pm3_cmd.h` (~5 lines)
+
+### 2. Compile Firmware
+```bash
+cd /home/work/dangerous-pi/.pm3-test/proxmark3
+make clean
+SKIPQT=1 make -j8 armsrc/obj/fullimage.elf
+```
+
+**Time:** ~2-3 minutes
+
+### 3. Flash Firmware
+```bash
+./pm3-flash-all
+```
+
+**Time:** ~30 seconds
+
+### 4. Test
+```bash
+./pm3 -c "hw detectreader"  # Old command still works
+./pm3 -c "script run field_strength_test"  # New streaming
+```
+
+**Time:** ~5 minutes
+
+### 5. Rebuild SWIG (if pm3_cmd.h modified)
+```bash
+cd client/experimental_lib
+./00make_swig.sh
+./01make_lib.sh
+```
+
+**Time:** ~1 minute
+
+**Total Time:** 10-15 minutes
+
+---
+
+## Upstreaming Potential
+
+### Why This Is a Good Upstream Contribution
+
+**Benefits to PM3 Community:**
+1. **Programmatic field detection** - enables automation scripts
+2. **Precise measurements** - get exact mV values, not just on/off
+3. **Multi-device coordination** - essential for systems like Dangerous Pi
+4. **Backwards compatible** - doesn't break existing tools
+
+**Follows Iceman Fork Conventions:**
+- ✅ Uses CLIParser patterns (already established)
+- ✅ reply_ng() for data transfer
+- ✅ Mode-based state machine (proven pattern)
+- ✅ Minimal, focused changes
+- ✅ No breaking changes
+- ✅ Self-documented code
+
+**Similar Precedents:**
+- `CMD_MEASURE_ANTENNA_TUNING_HF` - exact same pattern
+- `CMD_MEASURE_ANTENNA_TUNING_LF` - dual-value reporting
+- Both accepted upstream
+
+### Preparation for PR
+
+**Before submitting:**
+1. Test on multiple hardware variants (Easy, RDV4)
+2. Document in CHANGELOG.md
+3. Add usage examples in commit message
+4. Reference this research doc
+5. Emphasize automation/multi-device use case
+
+**Estimated acceptance probability:** HIGH (70-80%)
+

+- Test HF field detection
+- Verify backwards compatibility
+- Test LED brightness control
+
+### Phase 3: Documentation (15 min)
+- Update script documentation
+- Create usage examples
+- Document SWIG rebuild if needed
+
+**Total Estimated Time:** 60 minutes
+
+---
+
+## Alternative Approaches Considered
+
+### Alt 1: Parse Debug Output
+**Rejected:** Hacky, unreliable, requires USB CDC mode
+
+### Alt 2: Use Existing hw detectreader As-Is
+**Rejected:** Can't control LEDs precisely, no programmable access
+
+### Alt 3: Create Entirely New Command
+**Rejected:** Unnecessary duplication, more complex
+
+### Alt 4: Firmware-only LED Control
+**Rejected:** Not flexible enough, can't adapt patterns

+---
+
+## Testing the Stack
+
+### 1. Backend Health Check
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8000/api/health
+```
+
+Expected response:
+```json
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "version": "0.1.0"
+}
+```
+
+### 2. PM3 Status
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8000/api/pm3/status
+```
+
+Expected response (with mock):
+```json
+{
+  "connected": true,
+  "device": "/dev/ttyACM0",
+  "version": null,
+  "session_active": false
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Execute Command
+
+```bash
+# Create session
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/system/session/create \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"force_takeover": false}'
+
+# Execute command (replace SESSION_ID)
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/pm3/command \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "command": "hw version",
+    "session_id": "SESSION_ID"
+  }'
+```
+
+### 4. SSE Events
+
+```bash
+# Connect to SSE stream
+curl -N http://localhost:8000/sse/events
+```
+
+You should see:
+```
+event: connected
+data: {"message":"Connected to Dangerous Pi event stream"}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Using the Web Interface
+
+### Dashboard
+- View system status (CPU, memory, disk)
+- Check PM3 connection
+- Quick action buttons
+- Real-time event notifications
+
+### Commands Page
+1. Click "Commands" in navigation
+2. Enter a PM3 command (e.g., `hw status`)
+3. Click "Execute" or press Enter
+4. View output in terminal-style display
+5. Use ↑/↓ arrow keys to navigate history
+
+**Quick Commands:**
+- `hw status` - Hardware status
+- `hw version` - Firmware version
+- `hf search` - Search for HF tags
+- `lf search` - Search for LF tags
+- `hw tune` - Tune antenna
+
+### Settings Page
+- View current configuration
+- Change Wi-Fi mode (planned)
+- Enable/disable features
+- Restart backend or shutdown system
+
+### Logs Page
+- View command history
+- See success/failure status
+- Export logs (planned)
+
+---
+
+## Development Tips
+
+### Hot Reload
+
+Both backend and frontend support hot reload:
+
+- **Backend**: Uvicorn watches for file changes
+- **Frontend**: Vite HMR (Hot Module Replacement)
+
+Edit code and see changes immediately!
+
+### Mock PM3 vs Real PM3
+
+The backend automatically uses `MockPM3Worker` when the `pm3` module is not available.
+
+**Mock responses:**
+```python
+"hw version" → "Proxmark3 RFID instrument\n  client: RRG/Iceman/master/v4.14831"
+"hw status"  → "Device: PM3 GENERIC\nBootrom: master/v4.14831"
+"hw tune"    → "Measuring antenna characteristics..."
+```
+
+**To use real PM3:**
+1. Install Proxmark3 client with Python support
+2. Connect PM3 hardware
+3. Set `PM3_DEVICE` environment variable
+4. Restart backend
+
+### Theme Toggle
+
+Click the theme button (◐ / ○ / ◑) in the header to cycle:
+- **Dark** → **Auto** → **Light** → **Dark**
+
+Default is Dark (cyberpunk aesthetic for Dangerous Things).

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Backend won't start
+
+**Error: Port 8000 already in use**
+
+The existing pi-pm3 uses ttyd on port 8000. Either:
+- Change PORT to 8001 in config
+- Stop ttyd: `sudo systemctl stop ttyd-bash`
+
+**Error: pm3 module not found**
+
+Expected during development. The mock worker will be used automatically.
+
+### Frontend won't start
+
+**Error: Cannot connect to backend**
+
+Make sure backend is running on http://localhost:8000
+
+**Error: npm install fails**
+
+Try:
+```bash
+rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
+npm install
+```
+
+### SSE not working
+
+Check browser console for errors. SSE requires:
+- Backend running
+- Modern browser (no IE11)
+- No aggressive ad blockers
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Try the interface**: Execute some commands
+2. **Explore the code**: See how SSE, workers, and sessions work
+3. **Add features**: Wi-Fi manager, updates, backups
+4. **Test on Pi**: Transfer code to actual hardware
+5. **Customize theme**: Edit `app/frontend/app/styles.css`
+

+# Header Widget System - Design Specification
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-26
+**Status**: Design Phase
+**Priority**: MEDIUM
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+A plugin-aware header widget system that allows plugins and core managers to display status indicators, warnings, and notifications in the web interface header.
+
+### Primary Use Cases
+
+1. **UPS Hardware Missing**: Display warning when UPS HAT is not detected
+2. **Plugin Notifications**: Allow plugins to register persistent status indicators
+3. **System Warnings**: Battery low, update available, connection issues, etc.
+4. **Device Status**: Multi-PM3 device connection status
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Widget Types
+
+```typescript
+type WidgetSeverity = "info" | "warning" | "error" | "success";
+
+interface HeaderWidget {
+  id: string;                    // Unique identifier (e.g., "ups.missing", "plugin.hello_world.status")
+  source: string;                // Source identifier (e.g., "ups_manager", "plugin:hello_world")
+  severity: WidgetSeverity;      // Visual severity level
+  icon?: string;                 // Optional emoji/icon
+  message: string;               // Display message
+  dismissible: boolean;          // Can user dismiss?
+  action?: {                     // Optional action button
+    label: string;
+    url: string;
+  };
+  metadata?: Record<string, any>; // Additional data
+  created_at: string;            // ISO timestamp
+  expires_at?: string;           // Optional expiry (ISO timestamp)
+}
+```
+
+### Backend Components
+
+#### 1. Widget Registry (Plugin Manager Extension)
+
+```python

+
+#### 2. UPS Manager Integration
+
+```python

+
+## Plugin Integration
+
+### Example: Hello World Plugin with Widget
+
+```python
+# app/plugins/hello_world/main.py
+
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta
+from app.backend.managers.plugin_manager import (
+    PluginBase,
+    HeaderWidget,
+    WidgetSeverity
+)
+
+class HelloWorldPlugin(PluginBase):
+    async def on_enable(self):
+        """Called when plugin is enabled."""
+        # Get plugin manager instance
+        from app.backend.managers.plugin_manager import get_plugin_manager
+        plugin_manager = get_plugin_manager()
+
+        # Register a demo widget
+        widget = HeaderWidget(
+            id="plugin.hello_world.demo",
+            source="plugin:hello_world",
+            severity=WidgetSeverity.INFO,
+            icon="👋",
+            message="Hello World plugin is active!",
+            dismissible=True,
+            action_label="Settings",
+            action_url="/settings#plugins",
+            created_at=datetime.now().isoformat(),
+            expires_at=(datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=1)).isoformat()
+        )
+
+        plugin_manager.register_widget(widget)
+
+    async def on_disable(self):
+        """Called when plugin is disabled."""
+        from app.backend.managers.plugin_manager import get_plugin_manager
+        plugin_manager = get_plugin_manager()
+
+        # Clean up widget
+        plugin_manager.unregister_widget("plugin.hello_world.demo")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common Widget Use Cases
+
+### 1. UPS Hardware Missing
+
+```python
+HeaderWidget(
+    id="ups.hardware_missing",
+    source="ups_manager",

+    dismissible=False,  # Critical - don't allow dismissal
+    action_label="Details",
+    action_url="/settings#ups"
+)
+```
+

+    icon="🔄",
+    message="Dangerous Pi v1.2.0 is available. You have v1.1.0.",
+    dismissible=True,
+    action_label="Update Now",
+    action_url="/updates"
+)
+```
+
+### 4. No PM3 Devices

+
+## Implementation Checklist
+
+### Phase 1: Backend Infrastructure
+- [ ] Add `HeaderWidget` dataclass to plugin_manager.py
+- [ ] Add `WidgetSeverity` enum
+- [ ] Implement `register_widget()` method
+- [ ] Implement `unregister_widget()` method
+- [ ] Implement `get_active_widgets()` method
+- [ ] Implement `dismiss_widget()` method
+- [ ] Add dismissed widgets persistence (optional)
+
+### Phase 2: API Endpoints
+- [ ] Add `GET /api/system/widgets` endpoint
+- [ ] Add `POST /api/system/widgets/{id}/dismiss` endpoint
+- [ ] Add `WidgetResponse` Pydantic model
+- [ ] Test endpoints with curl
+
+### Phase 3: UPS Manager Integration
+- [ ] Inject plugin_manager into UPSManager
+- [ ] Register widget on initialization failure
+- [ ] Register widget on critical battery
+- [ ] Unregister widget when hardware becomes available
+
+### Phase 4: Frontend Component
+- [ ] Create `HeaderWidgets.tsx` component
+- [ ] Add CSS styles for widget display
+- [ ] Implement auto-refresh (30s interval)
+- [ ] Implement dismiss functionality
+- [ ] Add to root.tsx layout
+
+### Phase 5: Additional Integrations
+- [ ] Update Manager: Register widget for updates
+- [ ] PM3 Device Manager: Register widget when no devices
+- [ ] Plugin Manager: Allow plugins to register widgets
+- [ ] BLE Manager: Register widget when BLE unavailable (optional)
+
+### Phase 6: Testing & Polish
+- [ ] Test with UPS hardware disconnected
+- [ ] Test dismissal persistence across sessions (optional)
+- [ ] Test multiple widgets display
+- [ ] Test mobile responsiveness
+- [ ] Test widget expiry
+- [ ] Add unit tests
+
+---
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Priority 1: Persistence
+- Store dismissed widgets in database
+- Restore dismissed state across sessions
+- Add "Restore dismissed widgets" button in settings
+
+### Priority 2: Advanced Features
+- Widget priority/ordering
+- Collapsible widget groups
+- Widget categories (system, plugins, updates, etc.)
+- Toast notifications for transient widgets
+- Click-to-expand for long messages
+
+### Priority 3: Plugin Capabilities
+- Allow plugins to update widgets dynamically
+- Widget templates for common patterns
+- Widget analytics (how often dismissed, clicked)
+
+---
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+1. **Widget Limit**: Cap at 10 active widgets maximum
+2. **Refresh Rate**: Poll every 30 seconds (not real-time)
+3. **Dismissed Storage**: Store in localStorage (client-side) or database (server-side)
+4. **SSE Integration**: Consider using existing SSE for real-time widget updates (optional)
+
+---
+
+## Accessibility
+
+- All widgets have `role="alert"` for screen readers
+- Dismiss buttons have `aria-label` attributes
+- Action links are keyboard navigable
+- Color is not the only indicator (icons + text)
+- 44x44px minimum touch targets for mobile
+
+---
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Widget Content**: Sanitize all widget messages (XSS prevention)
+2. **Plugin Widgets**: Validate plugin-registered widgets
+3. **Dismissal**: Store dismissed widget IDs, not widget content
+4. **Rate Limiting**: Limit widget registration frequency from plugins
+
+---
+
+**Status**: Ready for implementation
+**Estimated Effort**: 4-6 hours for Phase 1-4 (core functionality)
+**Dependencies**: None (extends existing plugin system)

+## Standard Proxmark3 (Non-Easy)
+
+With default LED ordering (no `LED_ORDER_PM3EASY`):
+
+| LED | Color   | GPIO Pin | PWM Channel | Brightness | Effects |
+|-----|---------|----------|-------------|------------|---------|
+| A   | Orange  | PA0      | PWM0        | 0-100%     | All     |
+| B   | Green   | PA8      | None        | On/Off     | Blink   |
+| C   | Red     | PA9      | None        | On/Off     | Blink   |
+| D   | Red2    | PA2      | PWM2        | 0-100%     | All     |
+
+**Note:** Only LEDs on PA0 and PA2 can use PWM brightness control and PWM effects (pulse, fade) on any PM3 variant.
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic LED Control
+
+```bash
+# Green LED at 50% brightness (or --led g)
+hw led --led green --brightness 50
+
+# Red LED at 75% brightness (or --led r)
+hw led --led red --brightness 75
+
+# Orange LED on (no brightness control, or --led o)
+hw led --led orange --on
+
+# Red2 LED toggle
+hw led --led red2 --toggle
+
+# Both PWM LEDs at 30%
+hw led --led green,red --brightness 30
+
+# Letter names also work
+hw led --led a --on
+hw led --led a,b --brightness 30
+```
+
+### LED Effects
+
+Three effects are available: **pulse**, **fade**, and **blink**.
+
+```bash
+# Pulse effect (PWM LEDs only: green, red)
+# Smoothly fades in and out
+hw led --led green --pulse                        # 5 cycles @ 500ms default
+hw led --led green --pulse --count 10             # 10 cycles
+hw led --led green --pulse --speed 300            # Faster pulse (300ms cycle)
+hw led --led red --pulse --count 0                # Infinite until button press
+
+# Fade effect (PWM LEDs only: green, red)
+# Starts at full brightness, fades to off
+hw led --led green --fade                         # Default 500ms fade
+hw led --led red --fade --speed 1000              # Slower 1-second fade
+
+# Blink effect (ALL LEDs supported)
+# Alternates on/off
+hw led --led all --blink                          # All LEDs, 5 blinks
+hw led --led orange,red2 --blink --count 20       # Non-PWM LEDs work too
+hw led --led all --blink --speed 200              # Fast blink (200ms cycle)
+hw led --led green --blink --count 0              # Infinite until stopped
+```
+
+### Effect Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Description | Range | Default |
+|-----------|-------------|-------|---------|
+| `--speed` | Cycle time in milliseconds | 50-10000 | 500 |
+| `--count` | Number of effect cycles | 0-65535 | 5 |
+
+**Note:** `--count 0` runs the effect indefinitely until interrupted by:
+- Pressing the button on the Proxmark3 device
+
+### Tune LED Visualization
+
+LED brightness tracks antenna voltage in real-time during tuning:
+
+```bash
+# LF tune with green LED tracking voltage
+lf tune --led
+
+# HF tune with red LED tracking voltage
+hf tune --led
+```
+
+### Multi-Device Identification
+
+Use brightness levels and effects to distinguish between multiple Proxmark3 devices:
+
+```bash
+# Device 1: Dim green
+hw led --led green --brightness 20
+
+# Device 2: Bright red
+hw led --led red --brightness 100
+
+# Device 3: Pulsing green (easy to spot)
+hw led --led green --pulse --count 0
+
+# Device 4: Fast blinking all LEDs
+hw led --led all --blink --speed 200 --count 0
+```
+
+## Hardware Testing Notes
+
+- Confirmed via individual LED testing on PM3 Easy hardware
+- During `hw tune`: Red (B) and Red2 (D) LEDs typically active
+- During flashing: Orange (C) and sometimes Green (A) visible
+- PWM polarity: AT91 PWM with CPOL=0 outputs LOW during duty portion, so duty cycle is inverted to achieve correct brightness

+# Proxmark3 LED PWM Implementation - Complete
+
+**Status:** ✅ Implemented, Flashed, and Tested
+**Date:** 2025-12-02
+**Hardware:** Proxmark3 Easy
+**Firmware:** Iceman/master/4fa8f27-dirty
+
+## Summary
+
+Successfully implemented two-channel hardware PWM brightness control for LED A and LED B on Proxmark3 Easy, along with basic on/off/toggle control for all LEDs.
+
+## Hardware Configuration
+
+### Proxmark3 Easy LED Mappings
+
+| LED | Color  | GPIO Pin | PWM Channel | Brightness Control | Position |
+|-----|--------|----------|-------------|--------------------|----------|
+| A   | Green  | PA0      | PWM0        | ✅ 0-100%          | 1st (left) |
+| B   | Blue   | PA2      | PWM2        | ✅ 0-100%          | 4th (right) |
+| C   | Orange | PA9      | None        | On/Off only        | 2nd |
+| D   | Red    | PA8      | None        | On/Off only        | 3rd |
+
+**Physical LED order (left to right):** Green, Orange, Red, Blue
+
+### PWM Channel Allocation
+
+- **PWM0** → LED A brightness control (PA0)
+- **PWM1** → System timing functions (moved from PWM0)
+- **PWM2** → LED B brightness control (PA2)
+- **PWM3** → Unused
+
+## Command Interface
+
+### Basic LED Control (All LEDs)
+
+```bash
+hw led --led a --on                     # Turn on LED A
+hw led --led b --off                    # Turn off LED B
+hw led --led c,d --toggle               # Toggle LEDs C and D
+hw led --led all --off                  # Turn off all LEDs
+```
+
+### PWM Brightness Control (LED A and B only)
+
+```bash
+hw led --led a --brightness 50          # LED A at 50% brightness
+hw led --led b --brightness 75          # LED B at 75% brightness
+hw led --led a,b --brightness 25        # Both LEDs at 25% brightness
+hw led --led a --brightness 0           # LED A off via PWM
+hw led --led b --brightness 100         # LED B at full brightness
+```
+
+### Multi-Device Identification Examples
+
+```bash
+# Device 1 - Dim green
+hw led --led a --brightness 20
+
+# Device 2 - Medium blue
+hw led --led b --brightness 50
+
+# Device 3 - Bright green
+hw led --led a --brightness 80
+
+# Device 4 - Mixed (40% green + 60% blue)
+hw led --led a --brightness 40
+hw led --led b --brightness 60
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Files Modified (7 files)
+
+**Firmware:**
+1. `common_arm/ticks.c` - Moved SpinDelay timing from PWM0 → PWM1
+2. `common_arm/usb_cdc.c` - Moved USB timing from PWM0 → PWM1
+3. `armsrc/util.c` - Moved button timing PWM0 → PWM1, added PWM LED functions
+4. `armsrc/util.h` - Added function declarations
+5. `armsrc/appmain.c` - Added CMD_LED_CONTROL handler
+
+**Protocol:**
+6. `include/pm3_cmd.h` - Added CMD_LED_CONTROL (0x011A) and payload structure
+
+**Client:**
+7. `client/src/cmdhw.c` - Added `hw led` command with CLIParser
+
+### Protocol Definition
+
+```c
+// Command ID
+#define CMD_LED_CONTROL  0x011A
+
+// Payload structure
+typedef struct {
+    uint8_t led;        // LED bitmask: LED_A=1, LED_B=2, LED_C=4, LED_D=8
+    uint8_t action;     // 0=off, 1=on, 2=toggle, 3=pwm
+    uint8_t brightness; // 0-100 (for action=3 PWM mode only)
+} PACKED payload_led_control_t;
+```
+
+### PWM Functions (armsrc/util.c)
+
+```c
+void led_set_pwm_brightness(uint8_t led, uint8_t brightness);
+void led_pwm_disable(uint8_t led);
+```
+
+**PWM Configuration:**
+- Frequency: 48 kHz (MCK / 1000)
+- Resolution: 1000 steps (0.1% precision, exposed as 0-100%)
+- Duty cycle: Inverted for active-low LEDs
+- CPU overhead: Zero (hardware-controlled)
+
+### Action Modes
+
+| Action | Value | Description |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| Off    | 0     | Turn LED off (disables PWM if active) |
+| On     | 1     | Turn LED on at full brightness (disables PWM) |
+| Toggle | 2     | Toggle LED state (disables PWM) |
+| PWM    | 3     | Set PWM brightness (0-100%, LED A/B only) |
+
+## Build Configuration
+
+### Required Makefile.platform Settings
+
+```makefile
+PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC
+LED_ORDER=PM3EASY
+```
+
+**IMPORTANT:** The `LED_ORDER=PM3EASY` flag is **required** for PM3 Easy hardware. Without it, LED B will be mapped to PA8 (no PWM) instead of PA2 (PWM2).
+
+### Build Commands
+
+```bash
+cd .pm3-test/proxmark3
+
+# Ensure correct platform settings
+cat > Makefile.platform << EOF
+PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC
+LED_ORDER=PM3EASY
+EOF
+
+# Build
+SKIPQT=1 CFLAGS="-Wno-error=bad-function-cast" make all
+
+# Flash
+./pm3-flash-all
+```
+
+## Testing Results
+
+✅ **All Tests Passed:**
+- Firmware compiled: 359,015 bytes (68% of 512KB)
+- Flashed successfully to Proxmark3 Easy
+- PWM LED commands working correctly
+- Timing functions verified (`hw status` passed)
+- No interference with RF operations
+- Button functionality intact
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+### PWM Channel Reallocation
+
+The original Proxmark3 firmware used PWM0 for timing functions. To enable LED A brightness control, all timing functions were moved from PWM0 to PWM1:
+
+- `SpinDelayUsPrecision()` - High precision delays
+- `SpinDelayUs()` - Standard delays
+- `BUTTON_CLICKED()` / `BUTTON_HELD()` - Button debouncing
+- USB timing functions
+
+This change has **zero performance impact** and frees PWM0 for LED control.
+
+### Compatibility
+
+**Hardware Compatibility:**
+- ✅ PM3 Easy (PA0=PWM0, PA2=PWM2)
+- ⚠️ Other PM3 variants - PWM support depends on LED pin mapping
+- Without `LED_ORDER=PM3EASY`, LED B may not support PWM
+
+**Backward Compatibility:**
+- ✅ Fully backward compatible with existing firmware
+- ✅ New `hw led` command co-exists with other hw commands
+- ✅ No changes to existing command behavior
+
+### Performance Impact
+
+**Expected impact: ZERO**
+- PWM channels operate independently in hardware
+- No CPU overhead once configured
+- No timer interrupts needed
+- No interference with RF operations
+- Timing functions work identically on PWM1
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements if needed:
+1. Software PWM for LED C/D (more complex, CPU overhead)
+2. Fade in/out effects using gradual brightness changes
+3. Brightness presets (low, medium, high)
+4. Auto-dim after inactivity for power saving

+# Network Implementation Notes
+
+This document describes the current WiFi/network architecture and known issues.
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+The Dangerous Pi image uses a dual-mode WiFi configuration:
+
+### Access Point Mode (Default)
+- **hostapd** creates an AP on wlan0
+- **dnsmasq** provides DHCP
+- Default configuration:
+  - SSID: `Dangerous-Pi`
+  - Password: `dangerous123`
+  - IP Range: `192.168.4.2-20`
+  - Gateway: `192.168.4.1`
+
+### Client Mode (Manual)
+wlan0 can be switched to client mode to connect to an existing network:
+
+```bash
+# Stop AP services
+sudo systemctl stop hostapd
+sudo systemctl stop dnsmasq
+
+# Connect to WiFi
+echo -e 'network={\n    ssid="YOUR_SSID"\n    psk="YOUR_PASSWORD"\n}' > ~/wifi.conf
+sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c ~/wifi.conf
+
+# Get IP address
+sudo dhcpcd wlan0
+```
+
+To return to AP mode:
+```bash
+sudo killall wpa_supplicant
+sudo systemctl start hostapd
+sudo systemctl start dnsmasq
+```
+
+## Known Issues
+
+### WiFi API Detection
+- The systemd service must have `/sbin:/usr/sbin` in PATH for `iw` command to work
+- This was fixed in the service file (2026-01-01)
+
+### AP/Client Mode Switching
+- wlan0 is configured as "unmanaged" by NetworkManager when hostapd is running
+- hostapd must be stopped before wlan0 can connect as a client
+- dhclient is not installed; use dhcpcd instead
+
+### Mode Detection
+- Current mode detection reports "client" when in AP mode because it checks for SSID presence
+- Should check for `type AP` in `iw dev` output for accurate detection
+- TODO: Fix mode detection to properly identify AP mode
+
+### USB WiFi Adapter (wlan1)
+- If present, wlan1 can be used for client connectivity while wlan0 stays in AP mode
+- Configuration in `.env.example`: `USB_WLAN_INTERFACE=wlan1`
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+Planned features for easier network switching:
+1. Web UI toggle for AP/Client mode
+2. Persistent WiFi client configuration
+3. Auto-fallback to AP mode if client connection fails
+4. USB WiFi adapter auto-detection
+
+## Service Dependencies
+
+| Service | Port | Purpose |
+|---------|------|---------|
+| hostapd | - | WiFi Access Point |
+| dnsmasq | 53, 67 | DNS & DHCP for AP clients |
+| dangerous-pi | 8000 | Main backend API |
+| dangerous-pi-frontend | 3000 | Remix frontend |
+| pisugar-server | 8421-8423 | UPS battery management |
+
+## Tested Configurations
+
+- Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with onboard WiFi
+- Debian Trixie (arm64)
+- wpa_supplicant + dhcpcd for client connections
+- PiSugar 2 UPS (detected via I2C)
+
+## Verified Working (Phase 3 Testing - 2026-01-01)
+
+| Feature | Status | Notes |
+|---------|--------|-------|
+| WiFi AP | ✅ Working | SSID: Dangerous-Pi at 192.168.4.1 |
+| WiFi API | ✅ Working | After PATH fix in systemd service |
+| PM3 Device | ✅ Working | /dev/ttyACM0, Iceman firmware |
+| PM3 API | ✅ Working | Command execution verified |
+| UPS (PiSugar 2) | ✅ Working | Battery status, AC power detection |
+| BLE | ✅ Working | Advertising as DangerousPi |
+| Frontend | ✅ Working | Remix serving on port 3000 |
+| Backend | ✅ Working | FastAPI on port 8000 |

+# PiSugar UPS Support for Dangerous Pi
+
+Dangerous Pi now supports PiSugar UPS HATs (PiSugar 2 and 3 series) in addition to generic I2C fuel gauge UPS HATs.
+
+## Overview
+
+The UPS system has been refactored to use a driver-based architecture, allowing support for multiple UPS hardware types:
+
+- **PiSugar** - PiSugar 2/3 series (via pisugar-server daemon)
+- **I2C Fuel Gauge** - Generic MAX17040/MAX17048-based UPS HATs
+- **None** - Disable UPS monitoring
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+UPSManager
+    ├── UPSDriver (abstract base)
+    │   ├── PiSugarDriver (TCP socket communication)
+    │   └── I2CFuelGaugeDriver (I2C bus communication)
+    └── Power management logic
+```
+
+### Components
+
+- **`app/backend/managers/ups_drivers/base.py`** - Abstract driver interface
+- **`app/backend/managers/ups_drivers/pisugar_driver.py`** - PiSugar implementation
+- **`app/backend/managers/ups_drivers/i2c_driver.py`** - I2C fuel gauge implementation
+- **`app/backend/managers/ups_manager.py`** - Unified UPS management
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Add these to `/opt/dangerous-pi/.env` or `systemd/dangerous-pi.env.example`:
+
+```bash
+# UPS Type Selection
+UPS_TYPE=pisugar              # Options: "pisugar", "i2c", "none"
+UPS_CHECK_INTERVAL=60         # Battery check interval in seconds
+
+# I2C UPS Settings (when UPS_TYPE=i2c)
+UPS_I2C_ADDRESS=0x36          # I2C address of fuel gauge chip
+
+# PiSugar Settings (when UPS_TYPE=pisugar)
+UPS_PISUGAR_HOST=127.0.0.1    # PiSugar server host
+UPS_PISUGAR_PORT=8423         # PiSugar server port
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+### Option 1: Build with PiSugar Support
+
+Enable PiSugar installation during image build:
+
+```bash
+# Remove the SKIP file
+rm pi-gen/stageDangerousPi/04-pisugar/SKIP
+
+# Build the image
+./build-image.sh
+```
+
+### Option 2: Manual Installation
+
+Install PiSugar server on an existing system:
+
+```bash
+# Official installation script
+curl http://cdn.pisugar.com/release/pisugar-power-manager.sh | sudo bash
+
+# Or install specific version manually
+wget https://github.com/PiSugar/pisugar-power-manager-rs/releases/download/v1.7.6/pisugar-server_1.7.6_armhf.deb
+sudo dpkg -i pisugar-server_1.7.6_armhf.deb
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Enable PiSugar Support
+
+1. Edit `/opt/dangerous-pi/.env`:
+   ```bash
+   UPS_TYPE=pisugar
+   ```
+
+2. Restart Dangerous Pi:
+   ```bash
+   sudo systemctl restart dangerous-pi
+   ```
+
+3. Verify UPS status via API:
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:8000/api/system/ups/status
+   ```
+
+### API Endpoints
+
+The UPS manager provides these endpoints (work with any UPS type):
+
+- **`GET /api/system/ups/status`** - Get battery status
+- **`GET /api/system/power/restrictions`** - Get power-based operation restrictions
+- **`POST /api/system/ups/thresholds`** - Set battery thresholds
+- **`POST /api/system/ups/shutdown`** - Trigger safe shutdown
+
+### Example Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "battery_percentage": 85.5,
+  "voltage": 3842.0,
+  "current": -245.0,
+  "power_source": "battery",
+  "battery_status": "discharging",
+  "time_remaining": null,
+  "temperature": null,
+  "last_updated": "2024-11-28T12:00:00Z",
+  "is_available": true,
+  "error_message": null
+}
+```
+
+## PiSugar Communication
+
+The PiSugar driver communicates with `pisugar-server` via TCP socket (default port 8423).
+
+### Supported Commands
+
+- `get model` - Get PiSugar model name
+- `get battery` - Get battery percentage (0-100)
+- `get battery_v` - Get battery voltage (mV)
+- `get battery_i` - Get battery current (mA)
+- `get battery_power_plugged` - Check if charging (true/false)
+
+## Power Management
+
+The system enforces power restrictions based on battery level:
+
+| Battery Level | Bootloader Flash | Firmware Flash | Intensive Ops |
+|---------------|------------------|----------------|---------------|
+| 80%+          | ✅ Allowed       | ✅ Allowed     | ✅ Allowed    |
+| 50-80%        | ❌ Blocked       | ✅ Allowed     | ✅ Allowed    |
+| 20-50%        | ❌ Blocked       | ❌ Blocked     | ✅ Allowed    |
+| 10-20%        | ❌ Blocked       | ❌ Blocked     | ❌ Blocked    |
+| <10%          | ❌ Blocked       | ❌ Blocked     | ❌ Blocked    |
+
+## Supported Hardware
+
+### PiSugar Models
+
+- **PiSugar 2** - For Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero W
+- **PiSugar 2 Pro** - For Pi 3/4 (with larger battery)
+- **PiSugar 3** - For Pi Zero 2W
+- **PiSugar 3 Plus** - For Pi 4/5
+
+### I2C Fuel Gauge Models
+
+- MAX17040 / MAX17048
+- Other compatible fuel gauge chips at I2C address 0x36
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### PiSugar Server Not Running
+
+```bash
+# Check service status
+sudo systemctl status pisugar-server
+
+# Restart service
+sudo systemctl restart pisugar-server
+
+# Check logs
+sudo journalctl -u pisugar-server -n 50
+```
+
+### Test PiSugar Connection
+
+```bash
+# Test TCP connection
+echo "get battery" | nc 127.0.0.1 8423
+
+# Should return something like: "battery: 85.5"
+```
+
+### UPS Not Detected
+
+1. Verify UPS_TYPE is set correctly in `.env`
+2. Check Dangerous Pi logs: `sudo journalctl -u dangerous-pi -n 50`
+3. Verify hardware is connected properly
+4. For I2C: Check `i2cdetect -y 1` shows device at address 0x36
+5. For PiSugar: Verify pisugar-server is running
+
+### Dangerous Pi Logs
+
+```bash
+# View full logs
+sudo journalctl -u dangerous-pi -f
+
+# Check for UPS initialization
+sudo journalctl -u dangerous-pi | grep -i ups
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the test suite to verify UPS functionality:
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+pytest tests/
+
+# Run UPS-specific tests
+pytest tests/test_ups_drivers.py -v
+```
+
+## Migration from Old UPS Code
+
+If you're upgrading from an older version with I2C-only UPS support:
+
+1. The old configuration still works (defaults to `UPS_TYPE=i2c`)
+2. Add `UPS_TYPE=i2c` explicitly to `.env` for clarity
+3. No code changes needed for I2C HAT users
+4. PiSugar users: Change to `UPS_TYPE=pisugar`
+
+## Development
+
+### Adding a New UPS Driver
+
+1. Create new driver in `app/backend/managers/ups_drivers/`
+2. Inherit from `UPSDriver` base class
+3. Implement required methods:
+   - `initialize()` - Connect to hardware
+   - `read_data()` - Read battery data
+   - `is_available()` - Check hardware availability
+   - `close()` - Clean up connections
+   - `get_model_name()` - Return model name
+
+4. Add to `_create_driver()` in `ups_manager.py`
+5. Document configuration in this file
+
+### Example: Custom Driver
+
+```python
+from .base import UPSDriver, UPSData
+
+class CustomDriver(UPSDriver):
+    async def initialize(self) -> bool:
+        # Connect to your hardware
+        return True
+
+    async def read_data(self) -> UPSData:
+        # Read battery data
+        return UPSData(
+            percentage=85.0,
+            voltage=3800.0,
+            current=-200.0,
+            is_charging=False
+        )
+
+    async def is_available(self) -> bool:
+        return True
+
+    def close(self):
+        pass
+
+    def get_model_name(self) -> str:
+        return "Custom UPS"
+```
+
+## Scheduled Power Cycles (Alternative to Sleep Mode)
+
+Dangerous Pi does not implement sleep mode (WiFi must stay active for remote access). For "power off overnight" scenarios, use shutdown combined with PiSugar RTC wake alarm:
+
+1. **Set wake time** via PiSugar web interface, API, or native I2C driver
+2. **Shutdown**: `sudo shutdown -h now`
+3. **Device wakes** automatically at the scheduled time
+
+This approach is more power-efficient than any sleep mode—the device draws zero power while off, then boots fresh at the scheduled time.
+
+**Note**: The native I2C driver (`pisugar_i2c_driver.py`) exposes `set_wake_alarm()` and `clear_wake_alarm()` methods, though API endpoints for these are not yet implemented.

+# Pi-gen PM3 Client Build Integration - Session Notes
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-26
+**For Next Session**: Priority #3 - Add PM3 Client Build to pi-gen
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Current State Analysis
+
+### Last Build Attempt (Docker Container: pigen_work)
+
+**Build Status**: ❌ **FAILED** at stage 02-Wireless-AP (NOT PM3-related)
+
+**Timeline**:
+- ✅ stage 01-proxmark3: **SUCCESS** - PM3 firmware built successfully
+- ❌ stage 02-Wireless-AP: **FAILED** - iptables/hostapd configuration errors
+
+**Error Details**:
+```
+cp: cannot stat '/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf': No such file or directory
+cp: cannot stat 'config/default_hostapd': No such file or directory
+iptables: Failed to initialize nft: Protocol not supported
+[19:06:04] Build failed
+```
+
+**Conclusion**: PM3 firmware build works, but CLIENT with Python bindings is NOT being built yet.
+
+---
+
+## 📁 Current PM3 Build Configuration
+
+### File: `pi-gen/stageDTPM3/01-proxmark3/00-run-chroot.sh`
+
+**Current Script** (9 lines - very basic):
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash -e
+
+su - dt
+git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3
+cd proxmark3
+echo PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC > Makefile.platform
+make clean && make
+exit
+```
+
+**What it does**:
+- ✅ Clones RRG/Iceman proxmark3 repo
+- ✅ Builds firmware only (`make` in root = firmware)
+- ❌ Does NOT build client
+- ❌ Does NOT build Python bindings
+- ❌ Does NOT apply qrcode fix
+- ❌ Does NOT install client to ~/.pm3/
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Required Changes for Next Session
+
+### Task 1: Enhance `01-proxmark3/00-run-chroot.sh`
+
+**New script needs to**:
+
+1. **Clone Proxmark3 repo** (already done)
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3
+   cd proxmark3
+   ```
+
+2. **Apply CMakeLists.txt qrcode fix** 🔴 **CRITICAL**
+   ```bash
+   # Fix experimental Python library
+   sed -i '/TARGET_SOURCES.*pm3rrg_rdv4_experimental/,/)/s|${PM3_ROOT}/client/src/ui.c|${PM3_ROOT}/client/src/ui.c\n    ${PM3_ROOT}/client/src/qrcode/qrcode.c|' \
+       client/experimental_lib/CMakeLists.txt
+   ```
+
+3. **Build client with Python bindings**
+   ```bash
+   # Build client
+   cd client
+   mkdir -p build
+   cd build
+   cmake .. -DBUILD_PYTHON_LIB=ON
+   make -j$(nproc)
+   ```
+
+4. **Install to ~/.pm3/ directory**
+   ```bash
+   # Create installation directory
+   mkdir -p ~/.pm3/proxmark3/client
+
+   # Copy client executable
+   cp proxmark3 ~/.pm3/proxmark3/client/
+
+   # Copy Python bindings
+   cp -r experimental_lib/build/*.so ~/.pm3/proxmark3/client/
+   cp -r experimental_lib/example_py ~/.pm3/proxmark3/client/pyscripts
+
+   # Copy firmware files
+   mkdir -p ~/.pm3/proxmark3/firmware
+   cp ../../bootrom/obj/bootrom.elf ~/.pm3/proxmark3/firmware/
+   cp ../../armsrc/obj/fullimage.elf ~/.pm3/proxmark3/firmware/
+   ```
+
+5. **Set Python path in environment**
+   ```bash
+   # Add to .bashrc or systemd environment
+   echo 'export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.pm3/proxmark3/client/pyscripts:$PYTHONPATH' >> ~/.bashrc
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Reference Files
+
+### Key Documentation
+
+1. **CMakeLists.txt Fix Details**
+   - File: `UPSTREAM_CONTRIBUTIONS.md`
+   - Section: "Proxmark3 Python Bindings - qrcode Symbol Fix"
+   - Exact line to add: `${PM3_ROOT}/client/src/qrcode/qrcode.c`
+   - Location: `client/experimental_lib/CMakeLists.txt` around line 434
+
+2. **Working PM3 Build Example**
+   - Directory: `.pm3-test/proxmark3/`
+   - This is a successful build with Python bindings
+   - Use as reference for directory structure
+
+3. **Current Backend Integration**
+   - File: `app/backend/workers/pm3_worker.py`
+   - Uses Python bindings from `pm3` module
+   - Expects to find module in:
+     - `.pm3-test/proxmark3/client/experimental_lib/`
+     - `~/.pm3/proxmark3/client/pyscripts/`
+     - `/usr/local/share/proxmark3/client/pyscripts/`
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 Known Issues to Watch For
+
+### Issue 1: Wireless-AP Stage Failure
+
+**Current blocker**: The build fails AFTER PM3 stage at Wireless-AP setup
+
+**Error symptoms**:
+- Missing hostapd.conf files
+- iptables nft protocol not supported
+
+**Resolution**: May need to fix this stage before testing full PM3 integration, OR use quick build mode to test PM3 only.
+
+### Issue 2: User Context
+
+**Current script uses**: `su - dt` (switches to dt user)
+
+**Question for next session**:
+- Should PM3 be installed for `dt` user or `pi` user?
+- Current backend runs as `pi` user (systemd service)
+- Recommendation: Install to `/opt/proxmark3/` for system-wide access
+
+### Issue 3: Build Dependencies
+
+**May need to install**:
+- cmake
+- python3-dev
+- build-essential
+- libreadline-dev
+- libusb-1.0-0-dev
+
+**Add to**: `pi-gen/stageDTPM3/00-packages` or stage-specific packages file
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Testing Strategy for Next Session
+
+### Step 1: Test Script Locally First
+```bash
+# Don't run full docker build immediately
+./build-image.sh test
+```
+
+### Step 2: Quick Build Mode
+```bash
+# Build only stageDTPM3 (faster iteration)
+./build-image.sh quick
+```
+
+### Step 3: Verify Installation
+After build completes, check inside the image:
+```bash
+# Mount the image and verify
+ls -la /home/pi/.pm3/proxmark3/
+python3 -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '/home/pi/.pm3/proxmark3/client/pyscripts'); import pm3; print('Success!')"
+```
+

+# Port Conflict Resolution
+
+## Overview
+
+The existing pi-pm3 setup includes ttyd services that provide web-based terminal access:
+- **ttyd-bash** on port `8000` - Bash terminal
+- **ttyd-pm3** on port `8080` - Proxmark3 terminal
+- **RaspAP** on port `80` - WiFi management interface
+
+Dangerous Pi's FastAPI backend defaults to port `8000`, which **conflicts with ttyd-bash**.
+
+## Resolution Options
+
+You have several options to resolve this conflict:
+
+### Option 1: Disable ttyd-bash (Recommended)
+
+**Use this if**: You plan to use Dangerous Pi's web interface instead of the ttyd terminals.
+
+**Steps**:
+```bash
+sudo systemctl stop ttyd-bash
+sudo systemctl disable ttyd-bash
+```
+
+**Pros**:
+- Simple and clean
+- Frees up port 8000 for Dangerous Pi
+- Reduces resource usage
+
+**Cons**:
+- Loses standalone bash terminal (can use Dangerous Pi's terminal instead)
+
+### Option 2: Change Dangerous Pi Port to 8001
+
+**Use this if**: You want to keep both ttyd-bash and Dangerous Pi running simultaneously.
+
+**Steps**:
+```bash
+# Edit environment file
+sudo nano /opt/dangerous-pi/.env
+
+# Change PORT line to:
+PORT=8001
+
+# Restart service
+sudo systemctl restart dangerous-pi
+```
+
+**Access Dangerous Pi at**: `http://<pi-ip>:8001`
+
+**Pros**:
+- Both services available
+- No modification to existing ttyd setup
+
+**Cons**:
+- Non-standard port for Dangerous Pi
+- Slightly more complex URL
+
+### Option 3: Change ttyd-bash Port to 8002
+
+**Use this if**: You want Dangerous Pi on the standard port 8000 but still want ttyd-bash available.
+
+**Steps**:
+```bash
+# Edit ttyd-bash service
+sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/ttyd-bash.service
+
+# Find the line with --port 8000 and change to:
+# --port 8002
+
+# Reload and restart
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl restart ttyd-bash
+```
+
+**Access ttyd-bash at**: `http://<pi-ip>:8002`
+
+**Pros**:
+- Dangerous Pi on standard port
+- ttyd-bash still available
+
+**Cons**:
+- Requires modifying existing service
+- ttyd-bash on non-standard port
+
+## Automated Resolution Script
+
+For convenience, use the included resolution script:
+
+```bash
+/opt/dangerous-pi/scripts/resolve-port-conflict.sh
+```
+
+This interactive script will guide you through the options above.
+
+## Port Summary
+
+After resolution, your ports may look like:
+
+### Configuration A (Option 1 - Disable ttyd-bash)
+- Port `80` - RaspAP
+- Port `8000` - **Dangerous Pi** ✓
+- Port `8080` - ttyd-pm3
+- ttyd-bash - Disabled
+
+### Configuration B (Option 2 - Dangerous Pi on 8001)
+- Port `80` - RaspAP
+- Port `8000` - ttyd-bash
+- Port `8001` - **Dangerous Pi** ✓
+- Port `8080` - ttyd-pm3
+
+### Configuration C (Option 3 - ttyd-bash on 8002)
+- Port `80` - RaspAP
+- Port `8000` - **Dangerous Pi** ✓
+- Port `8002` - ttyd-bash
+- Port `8080` - ttyd-pm3
+
+## Pi-gen Build Integration
+
+If you're building a custom image with pi-gen, you can pre-configure the resolution:
+
+Edit `/home/work/dangerous-pi/pi-gen/stageDTPM3/04-dangerous-pi/01-run-chroot.sh` and uncomment the desired option:
+
+```bash
+# Option 1: Disable ttyd-bash
+if systemctl is-enabled ttyd-bash 2>/dev/null; then
+    systemctl disable ttyd-bash
+fi
+
+# OR Option 2: Change Dangerous Pi port
+sed -i 's/^PORT=.*/PORT=8001/' /opt/dangerous-pi/.env
+
+# OR Option 3: Change ttyd-bash port
+sed -i 's/--port 8000/--port 8002/' /etc/systemd/system/ttyd-bash.service
+```
+
+Then rebuild the image.
+
+## Verification
+
+After making changes, verify the configuration:
+
+### Check which services are listening on which ports:
+```bash
+sudo netstat -tlnp | grep :80
+```
+
+### Check Dangerous Pi status:
+```bash
+sudo systemctl status dangerous-pi
+```
+
+### Check ttyd-bash status:
+```bash
+sudo systemctl status ttyd-bash
+```
+
+### Test access:
+```bash
+# Dangerous Pi (adjust port as needed)
+curl http://localhost:8000/api/health
+
+# ttyd-bash (if enabled, adjust port as needed)
+curl http://localhost:8000
+```
+
+## Recommendations
+
+**For most users**: We recommend **Option 1** (disable ttyd-bash) because:
+- Dangerous Pi provides a more comprehensive web interface
+- It includes PM3 command capabilities
+- Simpler configuration
+- Fewer services running = better performance on Pi Zero 2 W
+
+**For advanced users**: If you need both interfaces for specific workflows, use **Option 2** or **Option 3**.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Service won't start - "Address already in use"
+Check which service is using the port:
+```bash
+sudo lsof -i :8000
+```
+
+Stop the conflicting service before starting Dangerous Pi.
+
+### Can't access after changing port
+1. Verify the service is running:
+   ```bash
+   sudo systemctl status dangerous-pi
+   ```
+
+2. Check the port in the environment file:
+   ```bash
+   grep PORT /opt/dangerous-pi/.env
+   ```
+
+3. Check firewall rules (if enabled):
+   ```bash
+   sudo iptables -L -n
+   ```
+
+### Changes not taking effect
+After modifying configurations, always:
+```bash
+# If you changed service files:
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+
+# Restart the service:
+sudo systemctl restart dangerous-pi
+```
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+In future versions, we may:
+- Auto-detect port conflicts on startup
+- Dynamically select an available port
+- Provide a web-based port configuration tool
+- Integrate or replace ttyd entirely
+
+For now, manual configuration provides the most flexibility.

+# Power Management Policy
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-26
+**Status**: ⚠️ **PRIORITY 1 - IMPLEMENT BEFORE PI TESTING**
+**Priority**: CRITICAL - Must be implemented before hardware deployment
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Dangerous Pi's power management policy determines when power-intensive operations are allowed based on hardware detection and battery status.
+
+---
+
+## Core Principle
+
+**If UPS hardware is not detected, assume AC line power is available.**
+
+This means:
+- No battery-level restrictions on operations
+- Power-intensive tasks are allowed
+- Only constrained by Raspberry Pi's power delivery capability
+- User takes responsibility for power stability
+
+---
+
+## Power States
+
+### State 1: UPS Hardware Detected + AC Power
+
+```python
+{
+    "ups_available": True,
+    "power_source": "AC",
+    "battery_percentage": 100,
+    "restrictions": None
+}
+```
+
+**Allowed Operations**: ALL
+- Firmware flashing (bootloader + fullimage)
+- Intensive PM3 operations
+- System updates
+- Multiple simultaneous PM3 devices
+
+---
+
+### State 2: UPS Hardware Detected + Battery Power
+
+```python
+{
+    "ups_available": True,
+    "power_source": "Battery",
+    "battery_percentage": 85,  # Example
+    "restrictions": "See battery level policies below"
+}
+```
+
+**Battery Level Policies**:
+
+| Battery % | Allowed Operations | Restrictions |
+|-----------|-------------------|--------------|
+| 80-100%   | ALL               | Bootloader flashing allowed with warning |
+| 50-79%    | Most operations   | Bootloader flashing blocked, fullimage allowed |
+| 20-49%    | Standard ops      | No firmware flashing, PM3 commands OK |
+| 10-19%    | Critical mode     | Read-only operations, no writes |
+| 0-9%      | Emergency         | Initiate safe shutdown |
+
+---
+
+### State 3: UPS Hardware NOT Detected (Most Common)
+
+```python
+{
+    "ups_available": False,
+    "power_source": "Assumed AC",
+    "battery_percentage": None,
+    "restrictions": None
+}
+```
+
+**Allowed Operations**: ALL
+- **Assumption**: User is on stable AC power or external battery bank
+- **Rationale**: If user doesn't have UPS HAT, we can't monitor battery anyway
+- **Constraints**: Only limited by Pi Zero 2 W power delivery (~5V 2.5A typical)
+- **User Responsibility**: Ensure stable power for firmware flashing
+
+**Warning Display**: Show header widget warning that UPS is not detected (informational, dismissible)
+
+---
+

+## Testing Scenarios
+
+### Test 1: No UPS Hardware
+1. Boot system without UPS HAT
+2. Navigate to firmware flash page
+3. Verify: No restrictions, warning shown
+4. Verify: Flash proceeds with user confirmation
+
+### Test 2: UPS on AC Power
+1. Boot with UPS HAT on AC
+2. Navigate to firmware flash page
+3. Verify: No restrictions, no warnings
+4. Verify: Flash proceeds immediately
+
+### Test 3: UPS on Battery (90%)
+1. Disconnect AC power (battery 90%)
+2. Navigate to firmware flash page
+3. Verify: Bootloader flash allowed with warning
+4. Verify: User must confirm warning
+
+### Test 4: UPS on Battery (60%)
+1. Discharge to 60%
+2. Navigate to firmware flash page
+3. Verify: Bootloader flash blocked
+4. Verify: Fullimage flash allowed
+
+### Test 5: UPS on Battery (30%)
+1. Discharge to 30%
+2. Navigate to firmware flash page
+3. Verify: All firmware flashing blocked
+4. Verify: PM3 commands still work
+

+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### Existing Code
+
+Current firmware flash logic (if exists) may have hardcoded battery checks. Update to use `get_power_restrictions()` method.
+
+### Future Implementation

+When implementing Sprint 3 (Firmware Management):
+1. Implement `FirmwareService` with power checks
+2. Add `/api/system/power/restrictions` endpoint
+3. Update frontend firmware flash UI
+4. Add user confirmation dialogs
+5. Add power stability warnings
+
+---
+
+## Security & Safety
+
+1. **User Consent**: Always require explicit confirmation for risky operations
+2. **Clear Warnings**: Explain consequences of power loss
+3. **Conservative Defaults**: Err on side of safety when battery detected
+4. **No Silent Failures**: Always inform user why operation was blocked
+
+---
+
+## Sleep Mode - Not Applicable
+
+Dangerous Pi does not implement sleep/standby mode. The device operates in two states:
+
+1. **Active** - WiFi enabled, all features available
+2. **Shutdown** - Device powered off
+
+**Why no sleep mode?**
+
+- WiFi must remain active for remote access (primary use case)
+- Sleep without WiFi makes device inaccessible remotely
+- BLE-only wake would require dedicated mobile app
+- Physical button wake defeats portable/remote use case
+- Middle "sleep" state = worst of both worlds (draws power but inaccessible)
+
+**Alternative for scheduled operation**: PiSugar users can use RTC scheduled wake-up for "sleep overnight, wake at 8am" scenarios:
+
+1. Set wake alarm via PiSugar web interface or native I2C driver
+2. Shutdown device: `sudo shutdown -h now`
+3. Device wakes automatically at scheduled time
+
+This is more power-efficient than any "sleep" mode would be.
+
+---
+
+**Status**: Design Complete
+**Priority**: Implement before Sprint 3 (Firmware Management)
+**Dependencies**: UPS Manager (✅ exists), Firmware Service (⏳ future)

+# Pre-Flight Validation Enhancements
+
+**Date:** 2025-11-27
+**Context:** Added comprehensive validation to catch errors BEFORE wasting 3+ hours on failed builds
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+Added **6 new validation sections** to [scripts/preflight-check.sh](scripts/preflight-check.sh:417):
+
+| # | Section | Purpose | Time Impact |
+|---|---------|---------|-------------|
+| 9 | Package Name Validation | Prevents hallucinated/typo package names | Saves 2+ hours |
+| 10 | File Reference Validation | Catches missing source files | Saves 1+ hours |
+| 11 | Service File Syntax | Validates systemd .service files | Saves 3+ hours |
+| 12 | Environment Variable Checks | Detects undefined variables | Saves 2+ hours |
+| 13 | Disk Space Check | Ensures 15GB available | Prevents mid-build failures |
+| 14 | Network Connectivity | Tests repos before downloading | Saves 3+ hours |
+
+**Total new checks: 6 sections**
+**Previous total: 52 checks**
+**New estimate: 100+ checks**
+
+---
+
+## 1. Package Name Validation (Section 9)
+
+### Problem It Solves
+**Past mistakes:**
+- `python-swig` instead of `swig`
+- `libbluez-dev` instead of `libbluetooth-dev`
+- Typos in package names that fail 2 hours into build
+
+### How It Works
+```bash
+# Spins up temporary Debian:trixie container
+# Runs apt-get update inside container
+# Extracts ALL package names from stage scripts
+# Queries apt-cache show <package> for each one
+# Reports EXACT package names that don't exist
+```
+
+### Output Example
+```
+✓ Package exists: gcc-arm-none-eabi
+✓ Package exists: libbluetooth-dev
+✗ ERROR: Package NOT FOUND in Debian repos: python-swig
+    Check for typos or hallucinated package names!
+    Common mistakes: python-swig (should be: swig)
+```
+
+### Performance
+- **Time:** ~30-60 seconds (depends on package count)
+- **Network:** Minimal (only package index download)
+- **Accuracy:** 100% - queries actual Debian repository
+
+---
+
+## 2. File Reference Validation (Section 10)
+
+### Problem It Solves
+Scripts reference files that don't exist:
+```bash
+cp "${SCRIPT_DIR}/files/app" ...  # files/ directory missing!
+```
+
+### How It Works
+```bash
+# Scans all 00-run.sh scripts (outside chroot)
+# Extracts 'cp' commands
+# Checks if source files/directories exist
+# Warns about missing references
+```
+
+### Output Example
+```
+✓ Found: files/app (in 03-dangerous-pi)
+✓ Found: files/systemd (in 03-dangerous-pi)
+⚠ WARNING: Missing file reference: files/firmware in stagePM3/01-proxmark3/00-run.sh
+```
+
+### Limitations
+- Only checks static paths (not variables like `$ROOTFS_DIR`)
+- Only checks 00-run.sh (files outside chroot)
+- Doesn't validate paths inside chroot environment
+
+---
+
+## 3. Service File Syntax Validation (Section 11)
+
+### Problem It Solves
+Malformed systemd service files that fail silently or at boot:
+```ini
+[Unit]
+# Missing [Service] section!
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+### How It Works
+```bash
+# Finds all .service files in stages and systemd/
+# Checks for required sections: [Unit], [Service], [Install]
+# Verifies ExecStart= exists
+# Detects un-substituted __PLACEHOLDERS__
+```
+
+### Output Example
+```
+✓ Service file structure valid: dangerous-pi.service
+✓ Has ExecStart: dangerous-pi.service
+⚠ WARNING: Found un-substituted placeholder in: ttyd.service
+    ExecStart=/usr/bin/ttyd -u __USER_UID__
+```
+
+### What It Catches
+- Missing required sections
+- Missing ExecStart command
+- Un-replaced template variables (like `__USER__`)
+
+---
+
+## 4. Environment Variable Checks (Section 12)
+
+### Problem It Solves
+Scripts use variables that aren't defined:
+```bash
+mkdir -p $DATA_DIR/logs  # $DATA_DIR never set!
+```
+
+### How It Works
+```bash
+# Scans all stage scripts for $VARIABLE usage
+# Checks if variable is defined in same script
+# Allows known pi-gen variables (ROOTFS_DIR, etc.)
+# Warns about potentially undefined variables
+```
+
+### Output Example
+```
+⚠ WARNING: Potentially undefined variable: $DATA_DIR in 00-run-chroot.sh
+⚠ WARNING: Potentially undefined variable: $INSTALL_PATH in 01-run-chroot.sh
+```
+
+### Known Safe Variables (Allowed)
+- `ROOTFS_DIR` (pi-gen provided)
+- `SCRIPT_DIR` (pi-gen provided)
+- `DEFAULT_USER` (defined in our scripts)
+- `DEFAULT_HOME` (defined in our scripts)
+- Standard: `PATH`, `HOME`, `USER`
+
+---
+
+## 5. Disk Space Check (Section 13)
+
+### Problem It Solves
+Build fails mid-download when disk fills up:
+```
+E: Failed to fetch ... No space left on device
+```
+
+### How It Works
+```bash
+# Checks /home/work/pi-gen-builder available space
+# Requires 15GB minimum
+# Fails pre-flight if insufficient
+```
+
+### Output Example
+```
+✓ Sufficient disk space: 47GB available (15GB required)
+```
+
+Or:
+```
+✗ ERROR: Insufficient disk space: 8GB available (15GB required)
+    Pi-gen builds require ~15GB for image + cache
+    Free up space or build will fail mid-download
+```
+
+### Why 15GB?
+- Base image: ~3GB
+- Stage downloads: ~2GB
+- QCOW2 cache: ~5GB
+- Temporary files: ~2GB
+- Safety margin: ~3GB
+
+---
+
+## 6. Network Connectivity Check (Section 14)
+
+### Problem It Solves
+Network issues discovered 30 minutes into download phase:
+```
+Err:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie InRelease
+  Could not resolve 'deb.debian.org'
+```
+
+### How It Works
+```bash
+# Tests each required repository:
+curl -s http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/trixie/Release
+curl -s http://archive.raspberrypi.com/debian/dists/trixie/Release
+curl -s https://github.com
+git ls-remote https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3
+```
+
+### Output Example
+```
+✓ Can reach deb.debian.org
+✓ Can reach archive.raspberrypi.com
+✓ Can reach github.com
+✓ Proxmark3 repository is accessible
+```
+
+Or:
+```
+✗ ERROR: Cannot reach deb.debian.org (Debian package repository)
+    Check internet connection or firewall
+```
+
+### What It Prevents
+- Starting 3+ hour build with no internet
+- Discovering DNS issues after stage0 downloads
+- GitHub access problems (SSH keys, firewall)
+- Repository downtime/unavailability
+
+---
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+### Pre-Enhancement
+- **Run time:** 30 seconds
+- **Checks:** 52
+- **False negatives:** Common (missed errors)
+
+### Post-Enhancement
+- **Run time:** 60-90 seconds
+- **Checks:** 100+
+- **False negatives:** Rare
+
+**Cost-benefit:** 60 seconds validation vs 3+ hours wasted build = **180x ROI**
+
+---
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+### 1. Package Validation
+- **Docker required:** Needs Docker to spin up test container
+- **Network required:** Must download package index
+- **Slow:** Takes 30-60s depending on package count
+- **Workaround:** Could cache results between runs
+
+### 2. File Reference Validation
+- **Static paths only:** Doesn't handle `$VARIABLES` in paths
+- **Outside chroot only:** Can't validate files inside image
+- **Limited coverage:** Only checks `cp` commands in 00-run.sh
+
+### 3. Service File Validation
+- **Basic syntax only:** Doesn't run `systemd-analyze verify`
+- **Template detection:** May miss some placeholder patterns
+- **No runtime check:** Can't verify service actually starts
+
+### 4. Environment Variable Checks
+- **Conservative:** May warn about legitimately inherited vars
+- **Whitelist-based:** Must manually add known-safe variables
+- **No scope analysis:** Doesn't track where variables are set
+
+### 5. Disk Space Check
+- **Fixed threshold:** 15GB may be too much or too little
+- **Doesn't track growth:** Can't predict final image size
+- **Single check:** Doesn't monitor during build
+
+### 6. Network Connectivity
+- **Snapshot in time:** Network may fail during build
+- **Timeout issues:** 5s timeout may be too short for slow connections
+- **No bandwidth test:** Doesn't measure actual speed
+
+---
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Priority 1: Immediate Value
+- [ ] **Cache package validation results** (avoid re-querying same packages)
+- [ ] **Add Python package validation** (check PyPI for pip3 install packages)
+- [ ] **Validate Debian package versions** (some packages may be Trixie-specific)
+- [ ] **Test binary downloads** (ttyd, other wget/curl downloads)
+
+### Priority 2: Nice to Have
+- [ ] **Run systemd-analyze verify** (requires systemd in test container)
+- [ ] **Variable scope tracking** (track where variables are defined)
+- [ ] **Disk space monitoring** (warn if low during build)
+- [ ] **Network speed test** (estimate build time based on bandwidth)
+
+### Priority 3: Advanced
+- [ ] **Parallel validation** (run multiple checks concurrently)
+- [ ] **JSON output mode** (for CI/CD integration)
+- [ ] **Fix suggestions** (auto-suggest corrections for common errors)
+- [ ] **Incremental validation** (only check changed files)
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+### Run Full Validation
+```bash
+./scripts/preflight-check.sh
+```
+
+### Expected Runtime
+- **Fast connection:** 60-90 seconds
+- **Slow connection:** 90-120 seconds
+
+### Exit Codes
+- `0` - All checks passed or warnings only
+- `1` - Errors detected, build will fail
+
+### Skip Sections (for debugging)
+Not currently supported. To skip specific sections, comment them out in the script.
+
+---
+
+## Testing Validation
+
+### Test Package Validation
+```bash
+# Add fake package to test script
+echo 'apt-get install -y fake-package-xyz' >> /tmp/test.sh
+# Run validation - should catch it
+```
+
+### Test File Reference Validation
+```bash
+# Reference non-existent file
+echo 'cp files/missing.txt .' >> pi-gen/stage*/*/00-run.sh
+# Run validation - should warn
+```
+
+### Test Service File Validation
+```bash
+# Create malformed service
+cat > /tmp/broken.service << EOF
+[Unit]
+Description=Test
+# Missing [Service] and [Install]
+EOF
+# Copy to systemd/ - should error
+```
+
+### Test Disk Space Check
+```bash
+# Temporarily fill disk (BE CAREFUL!)
+dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/fillfile bs=1G count=50
+# Run validation - should error
+rm /tmp/fillfile  # Clean up!
+```
+
+### Test Network Check
+```bash
+# Temporarily block network (requires sudo)
+sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -d deb.debian.org -j DROP
+# Run validation - should error
+sudo iptables -D OUTPUT -d deb.debian.org -j DROP  # Restore!
+```
+
+---
+
+## Key Takeaway
+
+> **These 6 enhancements transform pre-flight from "basic sanity check" to "comprehensive build readiness validation"**
+>
+> **Every minute spent on validation saves hours of wasted build time**
+>
+> **With slow network (265 kB/s), this is not optional - it's survival**

+## API Documentation
+
+Once the server is running, visit:
+- **Swagger UI**: http://localhost:8000/docs
+- **ReDoc**: http://localhost:8000/redoc
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Backend Development
+
+1. **Add new endpoint**:
+   - Create/edit router in `app/backend/api/`
+   - Register router in `app/backend/main.py`
+   - Test with curl or Swagger UI
+
+2. **Add new manager**:
+   - Create manager in `app/backend/managers/`
+   - Use in API endpoints
+   - Add tests
+
+3. **Add SSE event**:
+   - Add helper function in `app/backend/sse/events.py`
+   - Call from managers/workers
+   - Test with `curl -N`
+
+### Testing on Raspberry Pi
+
+1. **Transfer code**:
+   ```bash
+   rsync -avz --exclude 'venv' --exclude '__pycache__' \
+     . dt@10.3.141.1:/home/dt/dangerous-pi/
+   ```
+
+2. **SSH into Pi**:
+   ```bash
+   ssh dt@10.3.141.1
+   ```
+
+3. **Install and run**:
+   ```bash
+   cd dangerous-pi
+   pip3 install -r requirements.txt
+   python3 -m app.backend.main
+   ```
+
+## Mock vs Real PM3
+
+The backend automatically uses `MockPM3Worker` when the `pm3` module is not available. This allows development without Proxmark3 hardware.
+
+To use real PM3:
+- Ensure Proxmark3 client is installed with Python support
+- The `pm3` module must be importable
+- Set `PM3_DEVICE` environment variable to your device path
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and customize:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+nano .env
+```
+
+See [claude.md](claude.md) for full list of environment variables.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+See [claude.md](claude.md) for:
+- Detailed architecture
+- Implementation roadmap
+- PM3 API usage
+- Integration guidelines
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Port 8000 already in use
+The existing pi-pm3 uses ttyd on port 8000. Either:
+- Change PORT in config to 8001
+- Stop ttyd: `sudo systemctl stop ttyd-bash`
+
+### PM3 module not found
+Expected during development. The mock worker will be used automatically.
+
+### Database locked
+Stop all running instances of the backend.

+
+### 2. BLE GATT Handlers ✅
+**Completed:** 2025-11-26
+
+All GATT characteristic handlers implemented as thin adapters calling service layer.
+
+**Files created:**
+- `app/backend/ble/gatt_server.py` - 22+ characteristic handlers
+- `app/backend/ble/characteristics.py` - UUID definitions
+
+**See:** `docs/archive/BLUETOOTH_REFACTORING_COMPLETE.md` for details
+
+### 3. Multi-PM3 Device Manager ✅
+**Completed:** 2025-11-26
+
+Full device discovery, status tracking, and management.
+
+**Files created:**
+- `app/backend/managers/pm3_device_manager.py` - Device management
+- `app/frontend/app/components/DeviceSelector.tsx` - UI component
+- Database schema: `devices`, `sessions.device_id`, `firmware_flash_log` tables
+
+**See:** `docs/archive/MULTI_PM3_REFACTORING_PLAN.md` for design decisions
+
+---
+
+## All Sprints Complete
+
+All refactoring work has been completed. The following sections document what was done for reference.
+
+### Sprint A: SessionManager Per-Device Support ✅
+**Completed:** Per-device session isolation for multi-PM3 support.
+
+### Sprint B: Switch to SWIG Worker ✅
+**Completed:** SWIG bindings for faster PM3 communication.
+
+### Sprint C: BLE/BlueZ Integration ✅
+**Completed:** 2025-12-30
+
+Full BLE GATT server operational with BlueZ via the `bless` library.
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Added `bless>=0.2.5` to requirements.txt
+- Created `app/backend/ble/bluez_adapter.py` - BlueZGATTAdapter class using `add_gatt()` dictionary pattern
+- Fixed UUID format in `characteristics.py` (was generating invalid 13-char segments)
+- Integrated with existing `ble_manager.py` for seamless startup
+- All 4 GATT services registered (PM3, WiFi, System, Update)
+- Notification sending implemented via bless
+- Automatic fallback to basic advertising if bless unavailable
+
+**Tested:** Successfully started/stopped GATT server on local machine with BlueZ
+
+**Service UUIDs:**
+- PM3: `d4c3b2a1-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b0000`
+- WiFi: `d4c3b2a1-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b0010`
+- System: `d4c3b2a1-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b0020`
+- Update: `d4c3b2a1-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b0030`
+
+**Files created/modified:**
+- `requirements.txt` - Added bless dependency
+- `app/backend/ble/bluez_adapter.py` - New BlueZ adapter
+- `app/backend/ble/characteristics.py` - Fixed UUID format
+- `app/backend/ble/__init__.py` - Updated exports
+- `app/backend/managers/ble_manager.py` - Integrated GATT adapter
+
+---
+
+## Hardware Testing Checklist
+
+**Environment:** Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with PM3 Easy (Iceman firmware)
+
+### Basic Validation
+- [ ] Device discovery: `curl http://localhost:8000/api/pm3/devices`
+- [ ] Command execution: `curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/pm3/command -d '{"command":"hw version"}'`
+- [ ] Session creation with device_id
+- [ ] Session timeout and auto-release
+
+### LED Identification
+- [ ] Test `hw led --led a --brightness 100` on real hardware
+- [ ] Verify LED control works for device identification
+- [ ] Document any firmware-specific quirks
+
+### BLE Testing
+
+**Local Testing (completed on dev machine):**
+- [x] GATT server starts successfully with bless library
+- [x] All 4 services registered (PM3, WiFi, System, Update)
+- [x] Server stops cleanly
+- [x] BlueZ D-Bus integration working
+
+**Pi Hardware Testing (2025-12-30):**
+- [x] bless library installed on Pi (v0.3.0)
+- [x] Standalone bless test script runs successfully (30s advertising, no errors)
+- [x] GATT services registered in BlueZ (visible via `bluetoothctl show`)
+- [x] BLE manager integrated with dangerous-pi service
+- [x] Bluetooth auto-enable configured in `/etc/bluetooth/main.conf`
+- [x] Scan from nearby phone/laptop to verify discovery (confirmed via Ubuntu BT settings)
+- [x] Connect via gatttool and browse GATT services - all 4 services discovered
+- [x] Read characteristics successfully (PM3 STATUS, WiFi MODE, etc.)
+- [x] Write to PM3 COMMAND characteristic successfully
+- [ ] Receive notification with command result (requires PM3 attached)
+- [ ] Test with actual PM3 device attached
+
+**API Compatibility Fixes (2025-12-30):**
+- bless 0.3.0 changed callback registration: `on_read` → `read_request_func`, `on_write` → `write_request_func`
+- bless 0.3.0 changed `update_value()` from async to sync
+- Fixed UUID case sensitivity (UUIDs must be lowercase to match our definitions)
+- Fixed async deadlock: BLE callbacks cannot block on event loop, so reads return cached values
+- Fixed GATT handler to handle multi-device PM3 response format
+
+**Known Issues:**
+- Bluetooth was blocked by rfkill on first boot; fixed by adding `AutoEnable=true` to BlueZ config
+- Pi Zero 2 W has limited BLE range (~5-10m indoors) - ensure proximity during testing
+- Standard `bluetoothctl connect` tries classic Bluetooth, not BLE - use `gatttool` for LE connections

+- **Solution**:
+  - Modified [systemd/dangerous-pi.service](systemd/dangerous-pi.service:9-10) to use `__DANGEROUS_PI_USER__` placeholder
+  - Updated [pi-gen/stageDTPM3/04-dangerous-pi/00-run-chroot.sh](pi-gen/stageDTPM3/04-dangerous-pi/00-run-chroot.sh:51-53) to detect user dynamically and substitute placeholder
+  - Now supports any user created by cloud-init (UID >= 1000)
+- **Impact**: Works with modern Raspberry Pi OS images that use cloud-init
+
+#### Plan B: PYTHONPATH Environment Variable ✅
+- **Problem**: PM3 Python bindings not accessible without PYTHONPATH
+- **Solution**:
+  - Added PYTHONPATH to [systemd/dangerous-pi.service](systemd/dangerous-pi.service:14) environment
+  - Includes both paths: `~/.pm3/proxmark3/client/pyscripts` and `~/.pm3/proxmark3/client/experimental_lib/build`
+  - Uses placeholder substitution for dynamic user home directory
+- **Impact**: Backend can import and use pm3 Python module on startup
+
+#### Plan C: Port Conflict Resolution ✅
+- **Problem**: ttyd-bash conflicts with Dangerous Pi on port 8000
+- **Solution**:
+  - Enabled automatic resolution in [pi-gen/stageDTPM3/04-dangerous-pi/01-run-chroot.sh](pi-gen/stageDTPM3/04-dangerous-pi/01-run-chroot.sh:8-11)
+  - Disables ttyd-bash during image build (recommended approach)
+  - Users can manually reconfigure if needed
+- **Impact**: No port conflicts on first boot, service starts cleanly
+
+---
+
+### 2. Power Management Policy (PRIORITY 1 - COMPLETE) ✅
+
+#### Design Documentation
+- Created [POWER_MANAGEMENT_POLICY.md](POWER_MANAGEMENT_POLICY.md) - Comprehensive power management specification
+- Created [IMPLEMENTATION_PRIORITIES.md](IMPLEMENTATION_PRIORITIES.md) - Implementation roadmap
+
+#### Core Principle Established
+**"If UPS hardware is not detected, assume AC line power is available."**
+
+This means:
+- No battery-level restrictions when UPS absent
+- Power-intensive operations allowed (firmware flashing, etc.)
+- Only constrained by Raspberry Pi's power delivery capability
+- User responsibility to ensure power stability
+
+#### Backend Implementation ✅
+
+**UPS Manager** ([app/backend/managers/ups_manager.py](app/backend/managers/ups_manager.py:128-236)):
+- Added `get_power_restrictions()` method (109 lines)
+- Returns comprehensive power policy information
+- Three states handled:
+  1. UPS not detected → Assume AC, no restrictions
+  2. UPS on AC power → No restrictions
+  3. UPS on battery → Graduated restrictions based on battery level
+
+**Battery Level Policies**:
+| Battery % | Firmware Flash | Bootloader Flash | Status |
+|-----------|---------------|------------------|---------|
+| 80-100% | ✅ Allowed | ✅ Allowed (warning) | All ops OK |
+| 50-79% | ✅ Allowed | ❌ Blocked | Bootloader too risky |
+| 20-49% | ❌ Blocked | ❌ Blocked | Preserve battery |
+| 10-19% | ❌ Blocked | ❌ Blocked | Critical - read-only |
+| 0-9% | ❌ Blocked | ❌ Blocked | Emergency shutdown |
+
+**API Endpoint** ([app/backend/api/system.py](app/backend/api/system.py:277-297)):
+- Added `GET /api/system/power/restrictions` endpoint
+- Returns PowerRestrictionsResponse with full policy info
+- Tested successfully - returns correct "assumed_ac" when UPS not present
+
+#### Testing ✅
+```bash
+# Tested endpoint with local server
+curl http://localhost:8999/api/system/power/restrictions
+```
+
+**Result**:
+```json
+{
+  "restricted": false,
+  "power_source": "assumed_ac",
+  "ups_available": false,
+  "allow_firmware_flash": true,
+  "allow_bootloader_flash": true,
+  "allow_intensive_operations": true,
+  "message": "UPS not detected. Assuming stable AC power..."
+}
+```
+
+✅ **Works perfectly** - System correctly assumes AC power when UPS not detected
+
+---
+
+### 3. Header Widget System (DESIGNED) 📋
+
+#### Design Documentation
+- Created [HEADER_WIDGET_SYSTEM.md](HEADER_WIDGET_SYSTEM.md) - Complete widget system specification
+- Plugin-aware header widgets for status indicators and warnings
+- Ready for implementation (Phase 2 - optional for hardware testing)
+
+#### Use Cases
+- UPS hardware missing warning
+- Low battery alerts
+- Update availability notifications
+- PM3 device connection status
+- Plugin notifications
+
+#### Status
+- **Design**: Complete ✅
+- **Implementation**: Deferred (not critical for hardware testing)
+- **Estimated Effort**: 3.5 hours for full implementation
+
+---

+# Sprint 1: Foundation - COMPLETED ✅
+
+**Date Completed:** 2025-11-26
+**Duration:** 1 session
+**Status:** All tasks complete
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Sprint 1 established the foundation for multi-Proxmark3 device support by implementing device discovery, enumeration, and tracking infrastructure.
+
+---
+
+## Completed Tasks
+
+### ✅ 1. PM3DeviceManager Class

+- Proxmark3 Easy (VID: 502d, PID: 502d)
+- Bootloader mode detection (VID: 2d0d)
+
+### ✅ 3. Database Schema Updates
+**File:** [app/backend/models/database.py](app/backend/models/database.py)
+
+Added three new tables:
+
+**devices table:**
+```sql
+- device_id (PRIMARY KEY)
+- device_path
+- serial_number
+- friendly_name
+- usb_vid, usb_pid
+- first_seen, last_seen
+- firmware_version, bootrom_version
+- metadata (JSON)

+- Added: device_path
+- Added: released_at
+```
+
+**firmware_flash_log table:**
+```sql
+- Tracks all firmware update operations
+- Records old/new versions, success/failure
+- Audit trail for troubleshooting
+```
+
+### ✅ 4. Udev Rules for Device Detection
+**Files:**
+- [udev/77-dangerous-pi-pm3.rules](udev/77-dangerous-pi-pm3.rules)
+- [scripts/install-udev-rules.sh](scripts/install-udev-rules.sh)
+
+**Features:**

+- [firmware/FIRMWARE_VERSION.md](firmware/FIRMWARE_VERSION.md)
+- [firmware/version.txt](firmware/version.txt)
+
+**Locked Version:** v4.14831 (RRG/Iceman/master)
+
+**Policy:**
+- Strict version enforcement during MVP
+- Exact version match required
+- No automatic updates from upstream
+- Documented upgrade process
+
+### ✅ 6. Comprehensive Test Suite
+**Files:**
+- [tests/unit/managers/test_pm3_device_manager.py](tests/unit/managers/test_pm3_device_manager.py)
+- [tests/integration/test_multi_device_discovery.py](tests/integration/test_multi_device_discovery.py)
+
+**Test Coverage:**
+- Unit tests for PM3DeviceManager
+- Device ID generation
+- Firmware version parsing
+- Device discovery methods
+- Status management
+- Integration tests for multi-device scenarios
+- Hotplug simulation
+- Device persistence
+- Hardware tests (marked for optional execution)
+
+**Run Tests:**
+```bash
+# Unit tests
+pytest tests/unit/managers/test_pm3_device_manager.py -v
+
+# Integration tests
+pytest tests/integration/test_multi_device_discovery.py -v
+
+# Hardware tests (requires real PM3)
+pytest tests/ -m hardware -v
+```
+
+---
+
+## New Dependencies
+
+Added to [requirements.txt](requirements.txt):
+- `pyudev>=0.24.0` - Linux udev bindings for device detection
+- `pyserial>=3.5` - Serial port enumeration (cross-platform)
+
+---
+
+## Code Quality
+
+### Architecture Decisions
+
+1. **Async-First Design:** All device operations are async for performance
+2. **Thread Safety:** AsyncLock protects device dictionary
+3. **Graceful Degradation:** Falls back to polling if udev unavailable
+4. **Separation of Concerns:** Device manager focused only on device lifecycle
+
+### Design Patterns Used
+
+- **Factory Pattern:** Device creation in `_create_device()`
+- **Strategy Pattern:** Multiple discovery methods (serial, /dev, udev)
+- **Observer Pattern:** Device monitoring (polling/udev)
+- **Repository Pattern:** Device storage in `_devices` dictionary
+
+---
+
+## API Surface
+
+### PM3DeviceManager Public Methods
+
+```python
+# Lifecycle
+async def start() -> None
+async def stop() -> None
+
+# Discovery
+async def discover_devices() -> List[PM3Device]
+
+# Device Access
+async def get_device(device_id: str) -> Optional[PM3Device]
+async def get_all_devices() -> List[PM3Device]
+async def get_available_devices() -> List[PM3Device]
+async def get_connected_devices() -> List[PM3Device]
+
+# Device Management
+async def set_device_status(device_id: str, status: DeviceStatus) -> bool
+async def identify_device(device_id: str, duration_ms: int = 2000) -> None
+```
+
+### PM3Device Data Model
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class PM3Device:
+    device_id: str
+    device_path: str
+    serial_number: Optional[str]
+    friendly_name: Optional[str]
+    usb_vid: Optional[str]
+    usb_pid: Optional[str]
+    status: DeviceStatus
+    firmware_info: PM3FirmwareInfo
+    last_seen: datetime
+    first_seen: datetime
+    worker: Optional[PM3Worker]
+    metadata: Dict
+```
+
+---
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Ready for Sprint 2
+
+The following components are ready for integration:
+
+1. **SessionManager** - Needs update for per-device sessions
+2. **PM3Service** - Needs device_id parameter in all methods
+3. **ServiceContainer** - Needs to instantiate PM3DeviceManager
+4. **API Endpoints** - Need device selection endpoints
+
+---
+
+## Known Limitations (To Address in Future Sprints)
+
+1. **LED Identification:** Currently uses hw tune workaround, needs custom LED command
+2. **Udev Monitor:** Implemented but not active (polling fallback working)
+3. **Firmware Version Detection:** Client version is hardcoded, needs dynamic detection
+4. **Device Persistence:** Devices not persisted to database yet
+5. **Friendly Names:** Auto-naming not fully implemented
+
+---
+
+## Testing Results
+
+```bash
+# All tests should pass
+pytest tests/unit/managers/test_pm3_device_manager.py -v
+# Expected: 20+ tests passing
+
+pytest tests/integration/test_multi_device_discovery.py -v
+# Expected: 8+ tests passing
+```

+# Stage Comparison: Old stageDTPM3 vs New Split Stages
+
+**Date:** 2025-11-26
+**Purpose:** Identify differences between old working `stageDTPM3` and new `stagePM3` + `stageDangerousPi` split stages
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The new split stages are **significantly more robust** with:
+- ✅ Dynamic user detection (cloud-init compatible)
+- ✅ Dependency installation and verification
+- ✅ Python bindings for PM3
+- ✅ Cleaner build process
+- ✅ Modern nftables (vs old iptables)
+- ✅ Lightweight WiFi AP (vs bloated RaspAP)
+
+**CRITICAL ISSUE FOUND:**
+- ❌ New PM3 script **missing ARM cross-compiler** (gcc-arm-none-eabi + libnewlib-dev)
+- ❌ This will cause firmware build to fail!
+
+---
+
+## 1. Proxmark3 Build Comparison
+
+### OLD: stageDTPM3/01-proxmark3/00-run-chroot.sh (9 lines)
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash -e
+
+su - dt
+git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3
+cd proxmark3
+echo PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC > Makefile.platform
+make clean && make
+exit
+```
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- 🔴 No dependency installation (assumes they exist!)
+- 🔴 No error handling or verification
+- 🔴 Builds as 'dt' user (weird approach)
+- 🔴 No Python bindings
+- 🔴 No explicit installation location
+- 🔴 Installs later in ttyd stage via `make install`
+
+### NEW: stagePM3/01-proxmark3/00-run-chroot.sh (151 lines)
+```bash
+# Installs dependencies explicitly
+apt-get install -y cmake python3-dev swig build-essential \
+    libreadline-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev liblz4-dev libbz2-dev \
+    libjansson-dev libc6-dev pkg-config git
+
+# Clones to /tmp (cleaner)
+cd /tmp
+git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3
+cd proxmark3
+
+# Builds firmware
+echo PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC > Makefile.platform
+make clean && make -j$(nproc)
+
+# Applies qrcode fix for Python bindings
+sed -i '/TARGET_SOURCES.*pm3rrg_rdv4_experimental/,/)/s|...|...|' \
+    client/experimental_lib/CMakeLists.txt
+
+# Builds Python bindings
+cd client/experimental_lib
+./00make_swig.sh
+./01make_lib.sh
+
+# Dynamic user detection
+DEFAULT_USER=$(awk -F: '$3 >= 1000 && $3 < 65534 {print $1; exit}' /etc/passwd)
+
+# Installs to ~/.pm3/proxmark3/
+# Full verification with exit on error
+```
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- ✅ Explicit dependency installation
+- ✅ Comprehensive error handling
+- ✅ Python bindings support
+- ✅ Dynamic user detection (cloud-init compatible)
+- ✅ Organized installation to ~/.pm3/
+- ✅ Build verification steps
+- ✅ Creates version file for tracking
+
+**CRITICAL MISSING DEPENDENCIES:**
+According to [official Proxmark3 docs](https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3/blob/master/doc/md/Installation_Instructions/Linux-Installation-Instructions.md), Raspbian requires:
+```
+gcc-arm-none-eabi    ← MISSING! Required for firmware build
+libnewlib-dev        ← MISSING! Required for ARM toolchain
+ca-certificates      ← Missing (minor)
+libssl-dev           ← Missing (minor)
+libbluetooth-dev     ← Missing (if BLE features needed)
+libgd-dev            ← Missing (for graphical features)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. WiFi Access Point Comparison
+
+### OLD: stageDTPM3/02-Wireless-AP/00-run-chroot.sh (80 lines)
+**Approach:** Full RaspAP installation
+- 🔴 Clones entire RaspAP PHP web interface
+- 🔴 Heavy dependencies (lighttpd + PHP + fastcgi)
+- 🔴 Complex sudoers configuration
+- 🔴 Multiple systemd services (raspapd.service, dhcpcd.service)
+- 🔴 Uses iptables (legacy)
+- 🔴 Hardcoded PHP 8.4 paths (brittle)
+
+### NEW: stageDangerousPi/01-Wireless-AP/00-run-chroot.sh (279 lines)
+**Approach:** Minimal hostapd + dnsmasq
+- ✅ No PHP bloat (just hostapd + dnsmasq)
+- ✅ Modern nftables instead of iptables
+- ✅ Captive portal DNS redirect
+- ✅ Avahi mDNS for dangerous-pi.local
+- ✅ Better documented configuration files
+- ✅ Cleaner network setup
+
+**Verdict:** New approach is **significantly better** - lightweight, modern, purpose-built for captive portal.
+
+---
+
+## 3. ttyd (Web Terminal) Comparison
+
+### OLD: stageDTPM3/03-ttyd/00-run-chroot.sh (73 lines)
+```bash
+# Hardcoded 'dt' user
+USER_UID=$(id -u dt)
+ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ttyd ... -c dt:proxmark3 /usr/bin/bash
+
+# Critical: Runs make install at end
+cd /home/dt/proxmark3
+make install
+```
+
+**Key Point:** This stage installs PM3 client to system paths via `make install`.
+
+### NEW: stageDangerousPi/02-ttyd/00-run-chroot.sh (87 lines)
+```bash
+# Dynamic user detection
+DEFAULT_USER=$(awk -F: '$3 >= 1000 && $3 < 65534 {print $1; exit}' /etc/passwd)
+USER_UID=$(id -u $DEFAULT_USER)
+ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ttyd ... -c $DEFAULT_USER:proxmark3 /usr/bin/bash
+
+# Creates symlink instead of make install
+if [ ! -f /usr/local/bin/pm3 ] && [ -f $DEFAULT_HOME/.pm3/proxmark3/client/proxmark3 ]; then
+    ln -s $DEFAULT_HOME/.pm3/proxmark3/client/proxmark3 /usr/local/bin/pm3
+fi
+```
+
+**Key Point:** No `make install`, just symlinks. PM3 already installed in previous stage.
+
+**Verdict:** New approach is cleaner (install happens where build happens).
+
+---
+
+## 4. Dangerous Pi Application Comparison
+
+### OLD: stageDTPM3/04-dangerous-pi/
+
+**00-run.sh:**
+- Tries to copy from parent directory (brittle path resolution)
+- `DANGEROUS_PI_SRC="$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$0")")")")"`
+
+**00-run-chroot.sh:**
+- Hardcoded 'pi' user
+- No pip3 availability check
+- No cleanup at end
+
+**01-run-chroot.sh:**
+- All commented out (no port conflict resolution)
+
+### NEW: stageDangerousPi/03-dangerous-pi/
+
+**00-run.sh:**
+- Copies from `files/` directory in stage (cleaner)
+- `cp -r "${SCRIPT_DIR}/files/app" ...`
+
+**00-run-chroot.sh:**
+- Dynamic user detection
+- Checks for pip3, installs if missing
+- Handles both boot config locations (/boot/config.txt, /boot/firmware/config.txt)
+- Cleans apt cache at end (saves ~50MB)
+- User substitution in systemd service file
+
+**01-run-chroot.sh:**
+- Actively disables ttyd-bash to free port 8000
+
+**Verdict:** New approach is **much more robust** and production-ready.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Critical Differences Summary
+
+| Aspect | OLD stageDTPM3 | NEW Split Stages | Winner |
+|--------|----------------|------------------|--------|
+| **User handling** | Hardcoded 'dt'/'pi' | Dynamic detection | ✅ NEW |
+| **Dependencies** | Assumed/missing | Explicit install | ✅ NEW |
+| **PM3 build** | No ARM compiler! | Has dependencies | ⚠️ Neither complete |
+| **PM3 Python** | None | Full support | ✅ NEW |
+| **WiFi AP** | Bloated RaspAP | Minimal hostapd | ✅ NEW |
+| **Network stack** | iptables | nftables | ✅ NEW |
+| **Error handling** | None | Comprehensive | ✅ NEW |
+| **Image size** | Larger | Smaller (cleanup) | ✅ NEW |
+| **Maintainability** | Low | High | ✅ NEW |
+| **Cloud-init support** | No | Yes | ✅ NEW |
+
+---
+
+## 6. Required Actions
+
+### URGENT: Fix PM3 Dependencies
+Add missing ARM cross-compiler to `stagePM3/01-proxmark3/00-run-chroot.sh`:
+
+```bash
+apt-get install -y \
+    cmake \
+    python3-dev \
+    swig \
+    build-essential \
+    libreadline-dev \
+    libusb-1.0-0-dev \
+    liblz4-dev \
+    libbz2-dev \
+    libjansson-dev \
+    libc6-dev \
+    pkg-config \
+    git \
+    gcc-arm-none-eabi \    # ADD THIS - ARM firmware compiler
+    libnewlib-dev \        # ADD THIS - ARM C library
+    ca-certificates \      # ADD THIS - SSL certs for git
+    libssl-dev \           # ADD THIS - SSL support
+    libbluetooth-dev \     # ADD THIS - Bluetooth support
+    libgd-dev              # ADD THIS - Graphics support
+```
+
+### Optional Improvements
+1. Consider keeping old stageDTPM3 as fallback until new stages proven
+2. Document port conflicts (Dangerous Pi 8000 vs ttyd-bash 8000)
+3. Add smoke tests to verify PM3 Python bindings work
+
+---
+
+## 7. Conclusion
+
+**The new split stages are superior in every way EXCEPT for one critical bug:**
+
+❌ **Missing ARM cross-compiler will cause firmware build to fail!**
+
+**Recommendation:**
+1. Fix the missing dependencies IMMEDIATELY
+2. Run pre-flight validation
+3. Test build with new dependencies
+4. Keep old stageDTPM3 as backup until successful build confirmed
+
+**Why old version might have worked:**
+- Base image may have had gcc-arm-none-eabi pre-installed
+- Old stage didn't verify, just failed silently
+- OR: Old version was building client-only, not firmware
+
+**Next steps:**
+1. Add missing dependencies to new PM3 script
+2. Re-run pre-flight validation
+3. Test build
+4. If successful, remove old stageDTPM3

+
+## Issues Found
+
+### Issue #1: WiFi Connect API Returns Failure Despite Success (HIGH)
+
+**Component**: WiFi Manager API
+**Endpoint**: `POST /api/wifi/connect`
+**Severity**: High
+**Reproducible**: Yes
+
+**Description**:
+When calling the WiFi connect API, the connection actually succeeds (device gets IP address), but the API returns a 503 error and falls back to AP mode.
+
+**Steps to Reproduce**:
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/wifi/connect \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"ssid": "NETGEAR13", "password": "****"}'
+```
+
+**Expected**: `{"success": true, "ip_address": "192.168.0.129"}`
+**Actual**: `{"detail":"Failed to connect to NETGEAR13"}`
+
+**Log Evidence**:
+```
+[WiFi Connect] IP result: inet 192.168.0.129/24
+Device 'wlan0' successfully activated with 'f931b358-80a4-4f81-93d8-690a5cff910e'.
+Falling back to AP mode...
+[NM Management] Setting wlan0 as unmanaged...
+AP mode enabled
+```
+
+**Analysis**:
+The NetworkManager successfully connects and obtains an IP, but the verification logic incorrectly determines failure and triggers AP mode fallback.
+
+**Workaround**:
+After API call, manually run `sudo nmcli device set wlan0 managed yes` to complete the connection.
+
+---
+
+### Issue #2: PiSugar 2 UPS Not Detected at Startup (HIGH)
+
+**Component**: UPS Manager
+**Severity**: High
+**Hardware**: PiSugar 2 Zero at I2C address 0x75
+**Reproducible**: Yes
+
+**Description**:
+PiSugar 2 is physically connected and responds to I2C probes, but the UPS manager fails to detect it during service startup.
+
+**I2C Devices Detected**:
+- 0x32 - RTC (SD3078)
+- 0x75 - PiSugar 2 battery IC (IP5209)
+
+**Manual Detection Test** (Works):
+```python
+# This works when run manually after boot
+detected, driver = await PiSugarI2CDriver.detect(retries=3, retry_delay=1.0)
+# Result: PiSugar I2C: Found PiSugar 2 at 0x75 (voltage regs: 92, 23)
+# Detection result: True
+```
+
+**Service Startup Log** (Fails):
+```
+✅ UPS manager started
+Failed to initialize I2C fuel gauge: [Errno 5] Input/output error
+UPS not available: Failed to initialize I2C Fuel Gauge (MAX17040/MAX17048)
+```
+
+**Analysis**:
+The error message "MAX17040/MAX17048" indicates the auto-detection is falling through to the generic I2C fuel gauge driver instead of using the PiSugar I2C driver. Possible race condition with I2C bus availability at boot time.
+
+**Potential Fixes**:
+1. Add longer startup delay before UPS detection (UPS_STARTUP_DELAY env var?)
+2. Add retry logic in auto_detect_driver
+3. Check if PiSugar detection is being attempted before generic I2C
+
+---
+
+### Issue #3: BLE Advertisement Registration Failure (MEDIUM)
+
+**Component**: BLE Manager
+**Severity**: Medium
+**Reproducible**: Yes (at startup)
+
+**Description**:
+BLE advertising fails to register during service startup, falling back to "basic mode".
+
+**Log Evidence**:
+```
+Failed to start BLE server: Failed to register advertisement
+dbus_next.errors.DBusError: Failed to register advertisement
+Failed to start GATT server, falling back to basic mode
+✅ BLE manager started
+```
+
+**API Status** (Reports OK):
+```json
+{
+  "enabled": true,
+  "available": true,
+  "advertising": true,
+  "connected_devices": 0,
+  "device_name": "DangerousPi"
+}
+```
+
+**Analysis**:
+The BLE manager reports success in "basic mode" despite the GATT server advertisement failure. The distinction between full mode and basic mode is unclear. Testing BLE advertising from a mobile device would help determine actual functionality.
+
+---
+
+### Issue #4: Missing i2c-tools Package (LOW)
+
+**Component**: System Image
+**Severity**: Low
+
+**Description**:
+The `i2cdetect` command is not available, making I2C debugging more difficult.
+
+```
+$ sudo i2cdetect -y 1
+sudo: i2cdetect: command not found
+```
+
+**Recommendation**:
+Add `i2c-tools` to the pi-gen package list.
+
+---
+
+### Issue #5: PM3 Firmware/Client Version Mismatch Warning (LOW)
+
+**Component**: Proxmark3 Integration
+**Severity**: Low (Cosmetic)
+
+**Description**:
+The PM3 hw version command shows a warning about firmware/client mismatch.
+
+**Output**:
+```
+[!] ARM firmware does not match the source at the time the client was compiled
+[!] Make sure to flash a correct and up-to-date version
+```
+
+**API Status**:
+```json
+"firmware_info": {
+  "bootrom_version": "Iceman/DangerousPi/master/66c7374-dirty-suspect",
+  "os_version": "Iceman/DangerousPi/master/66c7374-dirty-suspect",
+  "compatible": false
+}
+```
+
+**Analysis**:
+The firmware (built 2026-01-04) and client (built 2026-01-13) were compiled at different times. This is expected when firmware and client are built separately, but the `compatible: false` flag may cause unnecessary warnings in the UI.
+
+---
+
+### Issue #6: Pydantic Protected Namespace Warning (LOW)
+
+**Component**: Backend Models
+**Severity**: Low (Cosmetic)
+
+**Description**:
+Pydantic logs a warning about field naming conflict.
+
+**Log**:
+```
+Field "model_short" in PiModelResponse has conflict with protected namespace "model_".
+You may be able to resolve this warning by setting `model_config['protected_namespaces'] = ()`.
+```
+
+**Recommendation**:
+Either rename the field or add the protected_namespaces config to the Pydantic model.

+## Recommendations
+
+### Priority 1 (Critical for User Experience)
+1. **Fix WiFi Connect API** - Investigate why verification fails after successful connection
+2. **Fix UPS Detection** - Add retry logic or increase startup delay for I2C initialization
+
+### Priority 2 (Quality Improvements)
+3. **Investigate BLE Basic Mode** - Document what features are available in basic vs full mode
+4. **Add i2c-tools** - Include in pi-gen image for easier debugging
+
+### Priority 3 (Nice to Have)
+5. **Fix Pydantic Warning** - Clean up model namespace conflict
+6. **Document PM3 Version Mismatch** - Either sync builds or suppress cosmetic warning

+# Dangerous Pi - UI/UX Guidelines
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+**Mobile-First, Resource-Constrained Excellence**: Build a beautiful, touch-optimized interface that works perfectly on smartphones while respecting the Pi Zero 2 W's limited resources.
+
+### Core Principles
+
+1. **Mobile-First** - PRIMARY target is smartphone users (📱 80% of usage)
+2. **Touch-Optimized** - 44×44px minimum touch targets, gesture support
+3. **Performance First** - Every byte counts, code splitting for charts
+4. **Progressive Enhancement** - Works without JavaScript, better with it
+5. **Cross-Platform** - Shared components for Web/Mobile/Desktop apps
+6. **Instant Feedback** - Users should never wonder what's happening
+
+---
+
+## Technical Constraints
+
+### Hardware Limitations
+- **CPU**: Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1GHz (limited)
+- **RAM**: 512MB (shared with OS and backend)
+- **Network**: WiFi only, potentially slow AP mode
+- **Storage**: MicroSD (minimize writes)
+
+### Performance Targets
+- **First Contentful Paint**: < 1.5s
+- **Time to Interactive**: < 3s
+- **Base Bundle Size**: ~120KB (gzipped)
+- **With Victory Charts**: ~170KB (via code splitting)
+- **CSS**: < 20KB (gzipped)
+- **Fonts**: System fonts only (no web fonts)
+
+### Mobile-First Targets
+- **Viewport**: 375px width (iPhone SE) as baseline
+- **Touch Targets**: 44×44px minimum (iOS HIG)
+- **Gesture Support**: Pan, zoom, swipe for charts
+- **Orientation**: Portrait primary, landscape support
+
+---
+
+## Visual Design System
+
+### Color Palette
+
+```
+Primary (Actions):
+  - Blue: #2563eb (buttons, links, active states)
+  - Blue Dark: #1e40af (hover states)
+
+Status Colors:
+  - Success: #059669 (connected, completed)
+  - Warning: #d97706 (low battery, needs attention)
+  - Error: #dc2626 (disconnected, failed)
+  - Info: #0891b2 (notifications, tips)
+
+Neutral (UI):
+  - Background: #ffffff (light) / #1f2937 (dark)
+  - Surface: #f9fafb (light) / #111827 (dark)
+  - Border: #e5e7eb (light) / #374151 (dark)
+  - Text Primary: #111827 (light) / #f9fafb (dark)
+  - Text Secondary: #6b7280 (light) / #9ca3af (dark)
+```
+
+### Typography
+
+```css
+/* Use system font stack - zero download time */
+font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI",
+             Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;
+
+/* Type Scale */
+text-xs:   0.75rem  (12px)  - Labels, captions
+text-sm:   0.875rem (14px)  - Body small, secondary text
+text-base: 1rem     (16px)  - Body text, inputs
+text-lg:   1.125rem (18px)  - Emphasized text
+text-xl:   1.25rem  (20px)  - Page titles
+text-2xl:  1.5rem   (24px)  - Section headers
+
+/* Line Height */
+leading-tight:  1.25  - Headings
+leading-normal: 1.5   - Body text
+leading-relaxed: 1.75 - Long-form content
+```
+
+### Spacing System
+
+```css
+/* 4px base unit */
+0:  0
+1:  0.25rem (4px)
+2:  0.5rem  (8px)
+3:  0.75rem (12px)
+4:  1rem    (16px)
+6:  1.5rem  (24px)
+8:  2rem    (32px)
+12: 3rem    (48px)
+```
+
+### Components
+
+#### Buttons
+```
+Primary:   Bold background, white text, clear call-to-action
+Secondary: Border only, transparent background
+Danger:    Red background for destructive actions
+Icon-only: 44x44px minimum touch target
+```
+
+#### Cards
+```
+Light elevation, subtle border
+Padding: 1rem (mobile) / 1.5rem (desktop)
+Border radius: 0.5rem (8px)
+```
+
+#### Forms
+```
+Inputs: 44px min height (touch-friendly)
+Labels: Always visible (no floating labels)
+Validation: Inline, immediate feedback
+```
+
+---
+
+## Layout Structure
+
+### Grid System
+- **Mobile**: Single column, full-width
+- **Tablet**: 2 columns where appropriate
+- **Desktop**: 3-column max (sidebar + main + auxiliary)
+
+### Navigation
+- **Mobile**: Bottom navigation bar (thumb-friendly)
+- **Desktop**: Left sidebar (collapsible)
+- **Max 5 items**: Dashboard, Commands, Settings, Logs, Help
+
+### Page Structure
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Header (always visible)         │
+│ - Logo / Title                  │
+│ - Status indicators             │
+│ - Session info                  │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│                                 │
+│ Main Content Area               │
+│ (scrollable)                    │
+│                                 │
+│ - Clear hierarchy               │
+│ - Generous whitespace           │
+│ - Focused tasks                 │
+│                                 │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│ Bottom Nav (mobile)             │
+│ or Footer (desktop)             │
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+---
+
+## Interaction Patterns
+
+### Loading States
+1. **Skeleton screens** for initial load (CSS only, no spinners)
+2. **Inline progress** for actions (e.g., "Executing...")
+3. **Toast notifications** for completion/errors (auto-dismiss)
+
+### Error Handling
+1. **Inline validation** - Show errors near the field
+2. **Error boundaries** - Graceful degradation
+3. **Retry options** - Always offer a way forward
+
+---
+
+## Data Visualization (Victory Charts)
+
+### Mobile-First Chart Design
+
+**Victory** is the official charting library for cross-platform support:
+- Web (Remix.js)
+- React Native (iOS/Android)
+- Electron (Desktop)
+
+### Chart Guidelines
+
+#### Touch Interactions
+```typescript
+// Victory provides built-in mobile gestures
+<VictoryChart
+  containerComponent={
+    <VictoryZoomContainer
+      zoomDimension="x"        // Horizontal zoom
+      allowPan={true}          // Swipe to pan
+      allowZoom={true}         // Pinch to zoom
+      minimumZoom={{ x: 1 }}
+    />
+  }
+>
+  <VictoryLine data={waveformData} />
+</VictoryChart>
+```
+
+#### Responsive Sizing
+- **Mobile**: Full-width charts (375px - 20px padding)
+- **Tablet**: 60-80% width with legends
+- **Desktop**: Max 800px width
+
+#### Performance
+- **Code Splitting**: Lazy load charts only when needed
+- **Data Points**: Limit to 1000 points for smooth interaction
+- **Downsampling**: For waveforms > 10k samples
+
+### Color Scheme for Charts
+
+```css
+/* Match cyberpunk theme */
+--chart-primary: #00ffff;     /* Cyan - main data line */
+--chart-secondary: #ff00ff;   /* Magenta - comparison */
+--chart-accent: #00ff88;      /* Green - success threshold */
+--chart-warning: #ffaa00;     /* Orange - warning threshold */
+--chart-grid: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);  /* Subtle grid */
+```
+
+### Guided Workflow UI
+
+Multi-step wizards for PM3 operations:
+
+#### Progress Indicator
+```
+[✓] Tune Antenna → [●] Read Card → [ ] Write Target
+```
+
+#### Step Navigation
+- **Mobile**: Full-screen steps, clear back/next buttons (bottom)
+- **Desktop**: Sidebar with step list, main area for content
+- **Validation**: Disable "Next" until step requirements met
+
+#### Touch-Optimized Actions
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Step 2: Read Source Card        │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│                                 │
+│ [Large icon: Card on reader]   │
+│                                 │
+│ Place card on Proxmark3         │
+│ antenna and tap button below    │
+│                                 │
+│  ┌───────────────────────────┐ │
+│  │    Read Card (44px)       │ │  ← Touch target
+│  └───────────────────────────┘ │
+│                                 │
+│ [Progress: 0 of 64 blocks]     │
+│                                 │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│ [Back]              [Next →]   │  ← Navigation
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+4. **Clear messages** - Explain what happened and why
+
+### Real-Time Updates (SSE)
+1. **Status badges** - Live connection indicator
+2. **Notification dot** - New events available
+3. **Auto-update** - Background refresh without disruption
+4. **Rate limiting** - Debounce rapid updates
+
+### Command Execution Flow
+```
+1. User enters command
+2. Instant visual feedback (disable button, show "Executing...")
+3. Command sent to backend
+4. Progress indication (if long-running)
+5. Result display (success/error with output)
+6. Re-enable interface
+```

+- **Spacing**: 8px minimum between targets
+- **Feedback**: Visual response to all interactions
+

+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### CSS Strategy
+```
+✅ DO:
+- Use vanilla CSS (no framework overhead)
+- CSS Grid & Flexbox for layouts
+- CSS variables for theming
+- Minimal animations (transform/opacity only)
+- Mobile-first media queries
+
+❌ DON'T:
+- Heavy CSS frameworks (Bootstrap, Material UI)
+- Web fonts (use system fonts)
+- Complex animations (drains CPU)
+- Excessive shadows/gradients
+- Unused CSS
+```
+
+### JavaScript Strategy
+```
+✅ DO:
+- Remix SSR (minimal client JS)
+- Progressive enhancement
+- Code splitting by route
+- Debounce user input
+- Use native APIs where possible
+
+❌ DON'T:
+- Heavy libraries (moment.js, lodash)
+- Polyfills for modern browsers only
+- Unnecessary dependencies
+- Client-side rendering (use SSR)
+- Global state (use URL/forms)
+```
+
+### Image Strategy
+```
+✅ DO:
+- Inline SVG icons (<2KB each)
+- System emoji for decorative elements
+- Lazy loading for below-fold images
+- Serve WebP with fallbacks
+
+❌ DON'T:
+- Icon fonts (Flash of Unstyled Text)
+- Large images (compress heavily)
+- Unoptimized assets
+- Background images (use CSS colors)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Dark Mode
+
+### Implementation
+- **System preference detection**: `prefers-color-scheme`
+- **Manual toggle**: Persisted in localStorage
+- **CSS variables**: Single source of truth for colors
+- **No flash**: SSR with cookie-based preference
+
+### Colors
+```css
+:root {
+  /* Light mode (default) */
+  --color-bg: #ffffff;
+  --color-surface: #f9fafb;
+  --color-text: #111827;
+}
+
+@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
+  :root {
+    --color-bg: #1f2937;
+    --color-surface: #111827;
+    --color-text: #f9fafb;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Mobile Considerations
+
+### Touch-First Design
+- Large buttons (44x44px minimum)
+- Bottom navigation (thumb zone)
+- Swipe gestures (optional, enhance)
+- Avoid hover-only interactions
+
+### Viewport
+```html
+<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=5">
+```
+
+### PWA Support
+- Add to home screen
+- Offline fallback page
+- Service worker for caching
+- App manifest

+# Update Manager - Technical Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+The Update Manager provides automatic system updates from GitHub releases, including version checking, downloading, installation, and rollback capabilities.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Backend Components
+
+**Location**: `app/backend/managers/update_manager.py`
+
+**Key Classes:**
+- `UpdateManager` - Core manager class
+- `UpdateStatus` - Enum for update states
+- `ReleaseInfo` - Data class for GitHub release information
+- `UpdateProgress` - Data class for progress tracking
+
+### API Endpoints
+
+**Location**: `app/backend/api/updates.py`
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Description |
+|----------|--------|-------------|
+| `/api/updates/check` | GET | Check for available updates |
+| `/api/updates/progress` | GET | Get current update progress |
+| `/api/updates/download` | POST | Download available update |
+| `/api/updates/install` | POST | Install downloaded update |
+| `/api/updates/release-notes` | POST | Get release notes for a version |
+| `/api/updates/current-version` | GET | Get current system version |
+
+## Features
+
+### 1. Automatic Update Checks
+
+Periodically checks GitHub releases API for new versions:
+
+```python
+# Configurable check interval (default: 1 hour)
+UPDATE_CHECK_INTERVAL=3600
+
+# Checks start automatically on backend startup
+update_manager = get_update_manager()
+await update_manager.start_periodic_checks()
+```
+
+**Detection Logic:**
+- Fetches latest release from GitHub API
+- Compares semantic versions (e.g., "1.2.3")
+- Handles pre-release tags
+- Stores last check timestamp
+
+### 2. Version Comparison
+
+Uses semantic versioning for comparison:
+
+```python
+def _is_newer_version(self, version1: str, version2: str) -> bool:
+    # Parses versions like "1.2.3" or "v1.2.3"
+    # Compares major.minor.patch components
+    # Returns True if version1 > version2
+```
+
+**Supported Formats:**
+- Standard: `1.2.3`
+- Prefixed: `v1.2.3`
+- Pre-release: `1.2.3-beta.1` (metadata stripped for comparison)
+
+### 3. Update Download
+
+Downloads release assets with progress tracking:
+
+```python
+async def download_update(self) -> bool:
+    # Downloads to temporary directory
+    # Tracks progress for UI updates
+    # Verifies checksum if available
+    # Cleans up on failure
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Progress tracking (0-100%)
+- Checksum verification (SHA256)
+- Automatic cleanup on errors
+- Configurable timeout
+
+### 4. Installation Process
+
+Safe installation with backup and rollback:
+
+```python
+async def install_update(self) -> bool:
+    # 1. Backup current installation
+    # 2. Extract update archive
+    # 3. Run post-install script
+    # 4. Rebuild PM3 client
+    # 5. Update version file
+    # 6. Rollback on failure
+```
+
+**Installation Steps:**
+1. Create backup of `/opt/dangerous-pi`
+2. Extract tar.gz archive to install directory
+3. Execute `scripts/post-install.sh` if present
+4. Rebuild Proxmark3 client (`make clean && make`)
+5. Update VERSION file
+6. Restore backup if any step fails
+
+### 5. Update States
+
+**State Machine:**
+```
+IDLE → CHECKING → AVAILABLE → DOWNLOADING → INSTALLING → COMPLETE
+                       ↓              ↓             ↓
+                   FAILED ←────────────┴─────────────┘
+```
+
+**State Descriptions:**
+- `IDLE`: No update activity
+- `CHECKING`: Querying GitHub API
+- `AVAILABLE`: Update ready to download
+- `DOWNLOADING`: Download in progress
+- `INSTALLING`: Installing update
+- `COMPLETE`: Update successfully installed
+- `FAILED`: Error occurred (see error_message)

+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### GitHub API Integration
+
+Uses GitHub REST API v3:
+
+```python
+# Fetch latest release
+url = f"https://api.github.com/repos/{GITHUB_REPO}/releases/latest"
+
+# Fetch specific version
+url = f"https://api.github.com/repos/{GITHUB_REPO}/releases/tags/v1.0.0"
+```
+
+**Rate Limiting:**
+- Unauthenticated: 60 requests/hour
+- Authenticated: 5000 requests/hour
+- Consider adding GitHub token for higher limits
+
+**Release Asset Requirements:**
+- Must include `.tar.gz` file
+- Optional `.sha256` checksum file
+- Asset naming: `dangerous-pi-{version}.tar.gz`
+
+### Checksum Verification
+
+SHA256 checksum validation:
+
+```python
+async def _verify_checksum(self, file_path: Path, expected: str) -> bool:
+    sha256 = hashlib.sha256()
+    with open(file_path, 'rb') as f:
+        while chunk := f.read(65536):  # 64KB chunks
+            sha256.update(chunk)
+    return sha256.hexdigest() == expected.lower()
+```
+
+### Backup and Rollback
+
+Automatic backup before installation:
+
+```python
+# Backup structure
+/opt/dangerous-pi/          # Current installation
+/opt/dangerous-pi-backup/   # Backup before update
+
+# Rollback on failure
+if installation_fails:
+    shutil.rmtree(install_dir)
+    shutil.copytree(backup_dir, install_dir)
+```
+
+### PM3 Client Rebuild
+
+Rebuilds Proxmark3 client after updates:
+
+```python
+async def _rebuild_pm3_client(self):
+    pm3_dir = Path("/opt/proxmark3")
+    if pm3_dir.exists():
+        await self._run_command(
+            f"cd {pm3_dir} && make clean && make"
+        )
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Version (read from VERSION file or env)
+VERSION=0.1.0
+
+# GitHub repository
+GITHUB_REPO=dangerous-things/dangerous-pi
+
+# Update check interval (seconds)
+UPDATE_CHECK_INTERVAL=3600
+
+# Optional: GitHub token for higher rate limits
+GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+```
+
+### Installation Paths
+
+```
+/opt/dangerous-pi/          # Application directory
+/opt/dangerous-pi/VERSION   # Version file
+/opt/dangerous-pi/scripts/  # Install scripts
+/opt/dangerous-pi-backup/   # Backup directory
+/tmp/dangerous-pi-update-*/ # Temporary download directory
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Verification
+
+- **Checksum Validation**: SHA256 verification of downloads
+- **HTTPS Only**: All downloads over HTTPS
+- **Signed Releases**: Consider GPG signature verification (future)
+
+### Permissions
+
+Update operations require elevated privileges:
+
+```bash
+# Commands that need sudo:
+- tar -xzf (to /opt directory)
+- make (for PM3 rebuild)
+- systemctl restart (for service restart)
+```
+
+**Solution**: Configure sudoers for specific commands:
+```
+www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/tar
+www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/make
+www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl restart dangerous-pi
+```
+
+### Backup Safety
+
+- Backup created before every installation
+- Single backup retained (consider multiple backup retention)
+- Automatic rollback on installation failure
+- Manual rollback possible by copying backup
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Update Check Fails
+
+**Symptom**: "Failed to check for updates"
+
+**Check:**
+```bash
+# Test GitHub API access
+curl https://api.github.com/repos/YOUR_REPO/releases/latest
+
+# Check network connectivity
+ping api.github.com
+
+# Verify GITHUB_REPO config
+echo $GITHUB_REPO
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Check internet connection
+- Verify repository exists and is public
+- Add GitHub token if rate limited
+- Check firewall settings
+
+### Download Fails
+
+**Symptom**: Download stuck or fails
+
+**Check:**
+```bash
+# Check disk space
+df -h /tmp
+
+# Check network speed
+wget --spider https://github.com/releases/download/test.tar.gz
+
+# Check download URL
+curl -I [download_url]
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Free up disk space
+- Check network connection
+- Verify asset exists in release
+- Increase timeout if slow connection
+
+### Installation Fails
+
+**Symptom**: Installation fails, system rolled back
+
+**Check:**
+```bash
+# Check installation directory
+ls -la /opt/dangerous-pi
+
+# Check backup exists
+ls -la /opt/dangerous-pi-backup
+
+# Check permissions
+stat /opt/dangerous-pi
+
+# Check logs
+journalctl -u dangerous-pi
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Verify sufficient disk space
+- Check directory permissions
+- Ensure backup directory is not corrupted
+- Run post-install script manually to debug
+
+### PM3 Rebuild Fails
+
+**Symptom**: PM3 client rebuild fails during installation
+
+**Check:**
+```bash
+# Check PM3 directory
+ls -la /opt/proxmark3
+
+# Try manual rebuild
+cd /opt/proxmark3
+make clean
+make
+
+# Check build dependencies
+dpkg -l | grep build-essential
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Install missing build dependencies
+- Check PM3 source integrity
+- Run rebuild manually
+- Skip rebuild if PM3 not used
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+```python
+# Test version comparison
+assert manager._is_newer_version("1.2.0", "1.1.0") == True
+assert manager._is_newer_version("1.0.0", "1.0.0") == False
+assert manager._is_newer_version("2.0.0", "1.9.9") == True
+
+# Test checksum verification
+assert await manager._verify_checksum(file_path, valid_checksum) == True
+assert await manager._verify_checksum(file_path, invalid_checksum) == False
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+```bash
+# Test check endpoint
+curl http://localhost:8000/api/updates/check
+
+# Test download (requires available update)
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/updates/download
+
+# Test progress polling
+while true; do
+  curl http://localhost:8000/api/updates/progress
+  sleep 1
+done
+
+# Test installation
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/updates/install
+```
+

+
+## 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+### 1. Python Bindings - Missing QR Code Source File ⭐ HIGH PRIORITY
+
+**Issue**: Python experimental library fails to load with `undefined symbol: qrcode_print_matrix_utf8`
+
+**Root Cause**:
+- File: `client/experimental_lib/CMakeLists.txt`
+- The `qrcode/qrcode.c` source file is used by the main client but not included in the experimental library's TARGET_SOURCES list
+- This causes undefined symbols when building the Python bindings shared library
+
+**Fix Applied**:
+```cmake
+# File: client/experimental_lib/CMakeLists.txt
+# Line: ~434 (after wiegand_formatutils.c)
+
+set (TARGET_SOURCES
+    ...
+    ${PM3_ROOT}/client/src/util.c
+    ${PM3_ROOT}/client/src/wiegand_formats.c
+    ${PM3_ROOT}/client/src/wiegand_formatutils.c
++   ${PM3_ROOT}/client/src/qrcode/qrcode.c        # ADD THIS LINE
+    ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/version_pm3.c
+)
+```
+
+**Testing Methodology**:
+1. Clone proxmark3 repository
+2. Build experimental library:
+   ```bash
+   cd client/experimental_lib
+   bash 00make_swig.sh
+   bash 01make_lib.sh
+   ```
+3. Test Python module:
+   ```bash
+   cd example_py
+   bash 01link_lib.sh
+   PYTHONPATH=../../pyscripts python3 -c "import pm3; print('Success!')"
+   ```
+4. **Before fix**: ImportError with undefined symbol
+5. **After fix**: Module imports successfully
+
+**Impact**:
+- Fixes Python bindings for all users
+- Enables native Python integration without subprocess overhead
+- Critical for multi-device applications and automation
+
+**Verification**:
+- ✅ Library builds without errors
+- ✅ Python module imports successfully
+- ✅ No undefined symbols in shared library
+- ✅ Tested on Ubuntu 24.04 with Python 3.12
+
+**PR Notes**:
+- Small, focused fix (1 line change)
+- Does not break any existing functionality
+- Aligns with existing build structure
+- Should be straightforward to merge

+- **Blink Patterns**:
+  - `slow` (500ms interval)
+  - `fast` (100ms interval)
+  - `veryfast` (50ms interval)
+  - `custom` (user-defined via `--interval`)
+- **PWM Brightness Control** (NEW!):
+  - Hardware PWM at 48 kHz (flicker-free)
+  - 0-100% brightness range
+  - LED A and LED B support (PA0/PWM0, PA2/PWM2)
+  - Zero CPU overhead (hardware-controlled)
+- **Additional Options**: `--duration`, `--count`, `--identify`, `--clear`
+
+**Files Modified**:
+
+*Phase 1 - Basic LED Control:*
+- `include/pm3_cmd.h` - Added `CMD_LED_CONTROL` (0x011A) and `payload_led_control_t` struct
+- `client/src/cmdhw.c` - Implemented `CmdLED()` function with CLIParser (~170 lines)
+- `armsrc/appmain.c` - Added firmware handler case (~35 lines)
+
+*Phase 2 - PWM Brightness Enhancement:*
+- `common_arm/ticks.c` - Reallocated timing from PWM0→PWM1 (2 functions, 18 lines)
+- `common_arm/usb_cdc.c` - Reallocated USB timing from PWM0→PWM1 (1 function, 9 lines)
+- `armsrc/util.c` - Reallocated button timing PWM0→PWM1 + added PWM LED functions (6 lines + 80 lines)
+- `armsrc/util.h` - Added function declarations (2 lines)
+- `armsrc/appmain.c` - Updated CMD_LED_CONTROL for PWM mode (action=3)
+- `client/src/cmdhw.c` - Added `--brightness` parameter with validation (~30 lines)
+
+**🔴 CRITICAL DISCOVERY - PWM Channel Reallocation**:
+
+**Key Technical Innovation**: Timing functions previously monopolized PWM0, blocking LED_A from brightness control.
+
+**Solution**: Reallocated all timing functions from PWM0 to PWM1:
+- PWM channels 0-3 have **identical** timer/counter functionality
+- PWM0 usage for timing was software convention, not hardware requirement
+- Moving to PWM1 freed PWM0 for LED_A, enabling 2-LED brightness control
+- Zero performance impact (PWM1 counter works identically to PWM0)
+
+**Impact**:
+- ✅ LED_A (PA0/PWM0) now supports brightness control
+- ✅ LED_B (PA2/PWM2) now supports brightness control
+- ✅ All timing operations remain functional (verified with `hw status`)
+- ✅ No interference with RF operations
+
+**🔴 CRITICAL DISCOVERY - SWIG Rebuild Requirement**:
+
+**When adding new commands to `pm3_cmd.h`, the SWIG Python wrapper MUST be rebuilt:**
+
+```bash
+cd client/experimental_lib
+./00make_swig.sh
+./01make_lib.sh
+```
+
+This requirement is **NOT documented** in the Proxmark3 build docs and caused significant debugging time. Without rebuilding SWIG:
+- ✅ Firmware compiles and works
+- ✅ Client compiles and works
+- ❌ Python bindings don't recognize the new command (uses stale library)
+
+**Recommendation**: Document this requirement in Proxmark3 development guide.
+
+**🔴 CRITICAL DISCOVERY - PM3 Easy LED Order**:
+
+**PM3 Easy requires `LED_ORDER=PM3EASY` flag** in Makefile.platform for correct LED pin mapping:
+
+```makefile
+PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC
+LED_ORDER=PM3EASY
+```
+
+Without this flag, LED_B maps to PA8 (no PWM) instead of PA2 (PWM2 capable).
+
+**Recommendation**: This is documented in Makefile.platform.sample but easy to miss. Consider making LED order detection automatic or adding build warning.
+
+**Benefits**:
+- ✅ Safe identification without RF emissions
+- ✅ Perfect for multi-device setups (Dangerous Pi use case)
+- ✅ Granular control of individual LEDs
+- ✅ Multiple blink patterns for status indication
+- ✅ **Hardware PWM brightness control for nuanced identification**
+- ✅ **Smooth dimming effects (48 kHz, flicker-free)**
+- ✅ **Zero CPU overhead for brightness control**
+- ✅ Clean integration with SWIG Python wrapper (once rebuilt)
+- ✅ Follows Iceman fork conventions (CLIParser, SendCommandNG, reply_ng)
+- ✅ Hardware agnostic (works on PM3 Easy, RDV4, etc.)
+- ✅ Zero breaking changes
+- ✅ Backward compatible (existing commands unchanged)
+
+**Testing Results**:
+- ✅ Tested on Proxmark3 Easy hardware (with `LED_ORDER=PM3EASY`)
+- ✅ All LED colors confirmed: Green (A), Blue (B), Orange (C), Red (D)
+- ✅ Individual LED control verified
+- ✅ Multiple LED control verified (comma-separated)
+- ✅ All blink patterns functional (slow/fast/veryfast/custom)
+- ✅ Duration and count parameters working
+- ✅ Identify mode working (`--identify` = fast blink all LEDs 4x)
+- ✅ **PWM brightness 0-100% verified on LED A and LED B**
+- ✅ **Smooth dimming with no flicker observed**
+- ✅ **Timing operations verified functional after PWM reallocation (`hw status`)**
+- ✅ **PWM mode switching tested (PWM→on→off→blink)**
+- ✅ **Simultaneous LED A+B brightness control working**
+- ✅ **Pulse/breathing animation demos created and tested**
+- ✅ Python SWIG integration verified (after rebuild)
+- ✅ Integrated into Dangerous Pi device manager
+
+**Dangerous Pi Integration**:
+Updated `app/backend/managers/pm3_device_manager.py`:
+```python
+# OLD workaround:
+# result = await device.worker.execute_command("hw tune --lf --duration 50")
+
+# NEW clean implementation:
+result = await device.worker.execute_command(f"hw led --identify --duration {duration_ms}")
+```
+
+**Documentation Created**:
+- `LED_COMMAND_PROPOSAL.md` - Original design specification
+- `LED_MAPPINGS.md` - Hardware-specific LED color mappings
+- `LED_MAPPINGS_PM3_EASY.md` - PM3 Easy specific mappings with PWM capabilities
+- `LED_CONTROL_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md` - Technical implementation details

+hw led --led a --brightness 80                   # Device 3 - bright green
+
+# Device identification (multi-device setups)

+hw led --clear                                   # Turn all LEDs off
+```
+
+**Python Usage** (via SWIG):

+
+p = pm3.pm3('/dev/ttyACM0')
+
+# Simple control
+p.console('hw led --led a --on')
+
+# PWM brightness control (NEW!)

+
+# Multi-device identification
+p.console('hw led --identify')
+
+# Custom patterns

+
+## 5. Bundle Size Management
+
+### Code Splitting Strategy
+
+```typescript
+// Lazy load charts only when needed
+import { lazy, Suspense } from 'react'
+
+const TuneChart = lazy(() => import('~/shared/components/charts/TuneChart'))
+
+function TunePage() {
+  return (
+    <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading chart...</div>}>
+      <TuneChart data={data} />
+    </Suspense>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+### Bundle Impact Analysis
+
+| Component | Size (gzipped) | When Loaded |
+|-----------|----------------|-------------|
+| Base App | ~120KB | Initial |
+| Victory Core | +35KB | On-demand |
+| TuneChart | +5KB | Workflow page |
+| WaveformChart | +8KB | Workflow page |
+| **Total (worst case)** | **~170KB** | ✅ Acceptable |
+
+**Optimization**: Most users won't load all charts in one session.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Cross-Platform Strategy
+
+### React Native App (Future)
+
+```typescript
+// Same component, different import!
+// Web version (Remix)
+import { VictoryLine } from 'victory'
+
+// React Native version
+import { VictoryLine } from 'victory-native'
+
+// Component code is IDENTICAL
+export function TuneChart({ data }) {
+  return (
+    <VictoryChart>
+      <VictoryLine data={data} />
+    </VictoryChart>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+### BLE Integration for Mobile
+
+Enhanced BLE Manager will support:
+- Command execution via BLE (offline PM3 operations)

+- Guided workflow triggers via BLE
+- Real-time data streaming via BLE
+
+**Use Case**: User operates PM3 with phone via BLE, no WiFi needed.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Testing Strategy
+
+### Backend Parser Tests
+
+```python
+# test_pm3_parsers.py
+
+def test_parse_antenna_tuning():
+    output = "# LF antenna: 50.00 V @ 125.00 kHz"
+    result = parse_antenna_tuning(output)
+    assert result["voltage"] == 50.0
+    assert result["frequency"] == 125.0
+    assert result["optimal"] == True  # > 45V threshold
+```
+
+### Frontend Chart Tests
+
+```typescript
+// Mock data testing (no hardware needed)
+const mockTuneData = [
+  { frequency: 120, voltage: 45 },
+  { frequency: 125, voltage: 50 },
+  { frequency: 130, voltage: 48 }
+]
+
+test('TuneChart renders with mock data', () => {
+  render(<TuneChart data={mockTuneData} />)
+  expect(screen.getByText(/Voltage/)).toBeInTheDocument()
+})
+```
+
+### Mobile Touch Testing
+
+- Test on actual smartphone (iPhone/Android)
+- Verify pinch-zoom works smoothly
+- Check 44px touch target compliance
+- Test landscape orientation
+
+---
+
+## 8. Dependencies
+
+### NPM Packages
+
+```json
+{
+  "dependencies": {
+    "victory": "^37.0.0",           // ~35KB gzipped
+    "victory-native": "^37.0.0"     // For React Native (later)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Python Packages
+
+No new dependencies - use standard library for parsing.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Success Metrics
+
+### Technical
+- [ ] Bundle size stays under 200KB (gzipped)
+- [ ] Charts render in < 200ms on mobile

+# WiFi Manager - Technical Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+The WiFi Manager provides comprehensive network management for Dangerous Pi, including interface detection, mode switching, network scanning, and connection management.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Backend Components
+
+**Location**: `app/backend/managers/wifi_manager.py`
+
+**Key Classes:**
+- `WiFiManager` - Core manager class
+- `WiFiMode` - Enum for operation modes (AP, Client, Dual, Auto, Off)
+- `WiFiInterface` - Data class for interface information
+- `WiFiNetwork` - Data class for scanned networks
+- `WiFiStatus` - Data class for current status
+
+### API Endpoints
+
+**Location**: `app/backend/api/wifi.py`
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Description |
+|----------|--------|-------------|
+| `/api/wifi/status` | GET | Get current WiFi status |
+| `/api/wifi/scan` | GET | Scan for available networks |
+| `/api/wifi/mode` | POST | Set WiFi operation mode |
+| `/api/wifi/connect` | POST | Connect to a network |
+| `/api/wifi/interfaces` | GET | List available interfaces |
+
+## Features
+
+### 1. Interface Detection
+
+Automatically detects all WiFi interfaces on the system:
+
+```python
+interfaces = await wifi_manager.detect_interfaces()
+```
+
+**Detected Information:**
+- Interface name (wlan0, wlan1, etc.)
+- MAC address
+- USB vs built-in detection
+- UP/DOWN status
+- Connected SSID (if any)
+- IP address (if assigned)
+
+**USB Detection:**
+- Checks `/sys/class/net/{iface}/device/uevent`
+- Identifies USB WiFi adapters
+- Enables dual-mode support when USB adapter present
+
+### 2. Mode Detection
+
+Automatically determines current operating mode:
+
+**Detection Logic:**
+- **AP Mode**: Interface has IP in 10.3.141.x range
+- **Client Mode**: Interface connected to network
+- **Dual Mode**: Both AP and Client active
+- **Auto Mode**: System choosing automatically
+- **Off**: No interfaces active
+
+### 3. Network Scanning
+
+Scans for available WiFi networks using `iw`:
+
+```bash
+# Backend executes:
+sudo iw dev wlan0 scan trigger
+sudo iw dev wlan0 scan
+```
+
+**Parsed Information:**
+- SSID (network name)
+- BSSID (MAC address)
+- Signal strength (dBm)
+- Frequency (MHz)
+- Encryption status (WPA/WPA2/Open)
+
+### 4. WiFi Modes
+
+#### Access Point (AP) Mode
+- Hosts own WiFi network
+- Default SSID: `raspi-webgui`
+- Default IP: `10.3.141.1`
+- Integrates with existing RaspAP setup
+
+#### Client Mode
+- Connects to existing WiFi network
+- Receives IP via DHCP
+- Single interface operation
+
+#### Dual Mode
+- **Requires USB WiFi adapter**
+- Simultaneously runs AP and Client
+- Built-in WiFi: Client connection
+- USB WiFi: Access Point
+- Enables internet sharing
+
+#### Auto Mode
+- System automatically selects best mode
+- Prefers dual if available
+- Falls back to client or AP
+

+
+### Frontend Usage
+
+1. Navigate to Settings page
+2. Click "Wi-Fi" tab
+3. View current status
+4. Select desired mode
+5. Scan for networks
+6. Click network to connect (coming soon)
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Interface Detection
+
+Uses `iw dev` command to enumerate wireless interfaces:
+
+```python
+async def detect_interfaces(self) -> List[WiFiInterface]:
+    result = await self._run_command("iw dev")
+    # Parse output
+    # Check USB status via sysfs
+    # Get IP addresses via ip command
+    return interfaces
+```
+
+### USB Detection
+
+Checks sysfs to determine if interface is USB:
+
+```python
+def _is_usb_interface(self, iface_name: str) -> bool:
+    device_path = Path(f"/sys/class/net/{iface_name}/device")
+    uevent_path = device_path / "uevent"
+    content = uevent_path.read_text()
+    return "usb" in content.lower()
+```
+
+### Network Scanning
+
+Two-step process:
+1. Trigger scan: `iw dev {iface} scan trigger`
+2. Wait 2 seconds for scan to complete
+3. Read results: `iw dev {iface} scan`
+
+Parse output for:
+- BSS (network) entries
+- SSID names
+- Signal levels
+- Frequency information
+- Security capabilities
+
+### Mode Switching
+
+Currently integrates with existing RaspAP:
+
+```python
+async def set_mode(self, mode: WiFiMode) -> bool:
+    # TODO: Implement mode switching
+    # Options:
+    # 1. Use RaspAP API
+    # 2. Direct NetworkManager/wpa_supplicant
+    # 3. Custom scripts
+    self._current_mode = mode
+    return True
+```
+
+## Integration with Existing Setup
+
+### RaspAP Compatibility
+
+- **Existing Setup**: RaspAP manages AP mode
+- **Integration Approach**: WiFi manager detects RaspAP configuration
+- **Migration Path**: Can gradually replace RaspAP features
+
+**RaspAP Files:**
+- Config: `/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf`
+- Interface: http://10.3.141.1
+- User: admin / secret
+
+### Coexistence
+
+WiFi Manager works alongside RaspAP:
+- Detects RaspAP-configured AP
+- Reads hostapd.conf for AP SSID
+- Allows mode switching via new API
+- Maintains backward compatibility
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Near Term
+- [ ] Full mode switching implementation
+- [ ] Network connection UI
+- [ ] Password entry for encrypted networks
+- [ ] Connection status notifications via SSE
+- [ ] Auto-reconnect on disconnect
+
+### Medium Term
+- [ ] Saved networks list
+- [ ] Network priority/ordering
+- [ ] Forget network function
+- [ ] Hidden SSID support
+- [ ] Static IP configuration
+
+### Long Term
+- [ ] Complete RaspAP replacement
+- [ ] VPN support (OpenVPN, WireGuard)
+- [ ] Advanced AP settings (channel, power)
+- [ ] MAC filtering
+- [ ] Captive portal for AP mode
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Permissions
+
+WiFi operations require elevated privileges:
+
+```bash
+# Commands that need sudo:
+- iw dev scan trigger
+- iw dev scan
+- wpa_cli commands
+- hostapd configuration changes
+```
+
+**Solution**: Configure sudoers for specific commands:
+
+```
+www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/iw
+www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/wpa_cli
+```
+
+### Password Handling
+
+- Passwords never logged
+- Stored securely in wpa_supplicant conf
+- Transmitted over HTTPS (when enabled)
+- Not included in API responses
+
+### Access Control
+
+- Optional authentication required
+- Session-based access
+- Rate limiting on scan requests
+- Network operations logged
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Interface Not Detected
+
+**Symptom**: No interfaces shown in status
+
+**Check:**
+```bash
+# List interfaces
+iw dev
+
+# Check if up
+ip link show wlan0
+
+# Bring up if needed
+sudo ip link set wlan0 up
+```
+
+### Scan Fails
+
+**Symptom**: Empty network list
+
+**Check:**
+```bash
+# Try manual scan
+sudo iw dev wlan0 scan
+
+# Check permissions
+ls -l /sys/class/net/wlan0
+
+# Check rfkill
+rfkill list
+```
+
+### USB WiFi Not Detected
+
+**Symptom**: Dual mode not available
+
+**Check:**
+```bash
+# List USB devices
+lsusb
+
+# Check kernel modules
+lsmod | grep 80211
+
+# Check dmesg for errors
+dmesg | grep wlan
+```
+
+### Mode Switch Fails
+
+**Symptom**: Mode doesn't change
+
+**Check:**
+- RaspAP is running: `systemctl status raspapd`
+- hostapd configuration: `/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf`
+- wpa_supplicant status: `wpa_cli status`
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+```python
+# Test interface detection
+interfaces = await wifi_manager.detect_interfaces()
+assert len(interfaces) > 0
+
+# Test USB detection
+is_usb = wifi_manager._is_usb_interface("wlan1")
+assert is_usb == True
+
+# Test mode detection
+mode = await wifi_manager._detect_current_mode()
+assert mode in [WiFiMode.AP, WiFiMode.CLIENT, WiFiMode.DUAL]
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+```bash
+# Test API endpoints
+curl http://localhost:8000/api/wifi/status
+curl http://localhost:8000/api/wifi/scan
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/wifi/mode -d '{"mode":"ap"}'
+```
+
+### Manual Testing
+
+1. Connect USB WiFi adapter
+2. Reload page, check "Dual Mode Support" is "Available"
+3. Click "Scan for Networks"
+4. Verify networks appear with signal strength
+5. Test mode switching buttons
+
+## Performance
+
+### Scan Duration
+- Trigger: < 100ms
+- Completion: ~2 seconds
+- Parse: < 50ms
+- **Total**: ~2.2 seconds
+
+### Interface Detection
+- Command execution: < 200ms
+- Parsing: < 50ms
+- **Total**: < 300ms
+
+### Status Check
+- Multiple commands: ~500ms
+- **Total**: < 1 second

+GET  /api/system/config
+
+// PM3
+GET  /api/pm3/status
+POST /api/pm3/command
+GET  /api/pm3/commands/history
+```
+
+### SSE Events
+```typescript
+GET /sse/events
+
+// Events:

+
+## Deployment
+
+### With Backend
+The frontend should be built and served by the backend in production:
+
+```bash
+# Build frontend
+cd app/frontend
+npm run build
+
+# Backend serves from build/client/
+```
+
+### Standalone (Development)
+For development, run separately:
+
+```bash
+# Terminal 1: Backend
+python -m app.backend.main
+
+# Terminal 2: Frontend
+cd app/frontend
+npm run dev
+```
