v0.3.0-rc.31

The release where a lost SSH key stopped meaning a reflash. rekey gets you back into an
already-rooted robot, and restore returns a fastboot robot to stock firmware.

Added

• rekey authorizes your SSH key on an already-rooted robot over USB. Firmware and calibration are untouched.
• rekey --over-ssh does the same over the robot's own Wi-Fi, with no cable and nothing flashed.
• restore returns a fastboot robot to stock firmware from your capture, leaving toc0 and data alone.
• A robot rooted by an older or manual method can be adopted with no reflash, then backed up and updated.
• Runs survive closed terminals and dropped SSH. Re-running rejoins the run.
• RPM packages for Fedora, RHEL 8 to 10 and openSUSE, plus an uninstall command.
• Setup saves the serial from the label under the dustbin, so a lost key never means turning the robot over.
• DustBuilder guidance is written per model and stamped with the date it was last verified.
• bench runs recorded hardware test campaigns against the real production phases.

Changed

• All persistent files now live under ~/dreame-valetudo/. Existing layouts migrate automatically.
• Recon records the model, and rooting refuses to flash unless it matches.
• A robot whose recon ran under 0.2.x carries no model record. Run recon --force before rooting it.
• Recon writes a portable dreame_recovery_backup.zip from the three-slice capture.
• Adopting an already-rooted robot now says an uploaded key will not take effect, and points at rekey.
• Linux packages start faster, installing as a directory instead of unpacking on every run.
• Release packages require glibc 2.28 or newer.
• The X40 Ultra, X30 Ultra and L10s Pro Ultra Heat R2338 are marked hardware verified.
• openSUSE Leap 15.6 is now listed as the minimum supported version. It was already tested; the table understated it.
• The published .rpm is now installed and run on the oldest maintained Fedora, which the support table already promised.

Fixed

• Installing Valetudo and capturing a factory backup work again. Both checked a file no Dreame robot has.
• USB work no longer needs the internet, which the robot's own Wi-Fi does not have.
• Answering "continue?" after a failure retries that command instead of running the whole setup chain.
• Destructive work binds model, image, config, robot and backup together before writing.
• Interrupted work no longer leaves partial state that could authorize a later write.
• Closing a terminal or pressing Ctrl+Z during a flash no longer interrupts the write.
• Robot SSH no longer falls back to a password or to unrelated agent keys.
• rekey --over-ssh confirms the robot answers as Valetudo before using the serial-derived password.
• rekey --over-ssh asks first when the serial does not match the selected robot.
• rekey over USB no longer announces a reboot it never confirmed.
• Release candidates are told when a newer candidate is out, and how to move to it.
• A refused serial names the likelier cause first, and no longer forgets the serial you saved.
• fix-impl no longer reports the web UI as down when authentication is simply turned on.
• An unreachable robot AP now names the usual cause: a VPN holding the robot's address.
• Downloads and transfers time out instead of hanging, and a cached Valetudo works on the offline AP.
• Shareable logs redact robot names, credentials, keys and flash tokens.
• macOS packages bundle the FEL runtime libraries.
