CodeDeck 2026.6.18

One-QR setup for multi-device mesh testing

Setting up a phone — and a second phone as a remote test device — used to be three separate, fiddly steps (pair, paste a mesh invite, type a mesh IP). Now it's one QR scan.

• Scan the bridge's Pair QR once. The phone auto-pairs and auto-joins your private mesh from the same code — no invite to copy/paste.
• One question: the phone asks whether it's your controller or a test device. That's the only choice you make.
• Pick "test device" and it just works: Wireless Debugging turns on, the device joins the mesh, and it registers itself with the bridge automatically — no mesh IP or serial to type. The laptop can then install & drive dev builds on it over the mesh.
• Controllers stay private: a phone you set as a controller never joins the mesh, so a shoulder-surfed QR can't grant mesh access.

Under the hood: the Pair QR now bundles a fresh mesh invite; the bridge auto-whitelists a paired phone on your private relay (so pairing can use an open relay while high-frequency session traffic stays on your private one); and the phone reports its real mesh identity so the bridge can reach it with zero manual config.

Known issue

A test device's mesh link can go stale if the CodeDeck app is backgrounded for a long time, which can interrupt a large install-over-mesh until you re-open the app. A fix for automatic reconnection is in progress.
