Release DeskMate v4.8.7 · itsfuad/DeskMate

DeskMate v4.8.7 stabilizes network-backed modes and memory-sensitive paths on ESP8266.

Highlights

Removed ArduinoJson and its build dependency.
Added bounded, lightweight JSON scanning and writing with shared fixed workspaces.
Made Weather, Radar, and settings parsing transactional so malformed or incomplete responses cannot corrupt the last valid state.
Added low-memory and low-stack admission checks with clear request indicators: blue for request, orange for continuation, red for error, white for skipped, and green for success.
Reduced web portal and /api/status stack and allocation pressure using fixed snapshots and shared output buffers.
Enabled the ESP8266 secondary IRAM heap so BearSSL can place TLS I/O buffers outside the primary heap.
Disabled keep-alive for ESP8266 web root and JSON responses to reduce heap fragmentation.
Improved HTTPS buffer admission using free-heap and contiguous-block checks.

Full emulator test suite passed, including repeated status requests and Weather, GitHub, Radar, settings, and rollback fixtures.
ESP8266 clean compile/link passed: 58,076 / 81,920 bytes RAM (70.9%), 693,717 / 1,044,464 bytes flash (66.4%).
Physical validation reached approximately 31 minutes uptime with 361 successful polls, 2 transient failures, and no crash.
