MethodMesh v2.10.0 — Alpha

Released 2026-09-27. App version 2.10.0 (version code 11). The release includes a debug-signed APK for sideloading and field evaluation.

A toolkit for field, lab and everyday work

Expands MethodMesh as a practical toolkit for people collecting data and making observations in the field, in the lab and in the wider world.
Makes the “many small apps in one place” use case more explicit: capabilities share a dashboard, artifact layer, presets, protocols, schedules and external/ODK contracts.
Refreshes conversions, Weather, Signals, QR/barcode, live translation, NFC and device-facing workflows with clearer instrument surfaces, live results, validation notes and updated examples.

Adds the first MethodMesh Devices implementation pieces, including display capabilities, ESP32-C3 firmware installation assets, device provisioning and ESP mesh join/provisioning flows.
Extends ESP mesh transport diagnostics, coexistence handling, secure provisioning and BLE-related coverage.
Adds NFC issuer identity and evidence-first credential assurance, including the canonical public-key fingerprint and public issuer bundle used for later provisioning-device registration.
Adds quiet trusted-clock refresh scheduling and preserves policy-neutral time/provenance evidence across execution results.

Adds the widget bundle system with compact, frosted and themed shortcut surfaces, expanded bundle views, configuration migration and restart recovery.
Improves calculator/conversion, weather radar, streaming translation and QR-burst interactions while keeping capability-owned workflows and live readouts coherent.
Adds an early Display module with clock and timer examples.

Regenerates the packaged ODK/XLSForm catalogue from module-owned examples, including new Display, live-translation and Signals examples.
Updates the MethodMesh Master Book with Devices, the Devices ↔ Field Transport bridge, NFC issuer assurance, instrument dashboard guidance and current implementation boundaries.
Consolidates the outstanding module sources, tests, firmware, prototype archives and the XLSForm compiler history on GitHub.
Removes temporary local backups and superseded module-local copies where the current source or generated catalogue is authoritative.

./gradlew test: passed; 254 JVM tests, no failures or skips.
ESP mesh security invariant self-test: passed.
Debug APK build: passed.
ODK catalogue generation: 415 templates, 0 generator errors. Advisory form-revision findings remain for 141 templates; they do not prevent packaging and are documented follow-up work.
The APK is debug-signed. Interactive device, NFC, ODK round-trip, ESP hardware and production signing validation remain required before production deployment.

ESP mesh, physical devices, live translation, Signals, Weather radar and several instrument-style modules remain under active field validation.
The packaged APK is intended for development, testing and controlled field evaluation, not as a production-signed distribution.
Transport routing, heterogeneous device support, large-object transfer, issuer registry reconciliation and authoritative ODK validation remain partly implemented or roadmap work.
