MESH-API v0.7.4 Beta — Setup Wizard Covers MeshCore

A feature release on top of v0.7.3.7 Beta.

🧙 The Setup Wizard now configures MeshCore

The first-start Setup Wizard (also re-runnable any time from the ⚙️ Config editor header via 🧙 Run Setup Wizard) was brought up to date with the v0.7.x multi-radio architecture. Previously it only configured a single Meshtastic radio — so a fresh install had to hand-edit config.json to use MeshCore. Now the wizard walks you through both radios.

  • 🟣 New MeshCore Radio step — enable MeshCore, choose the connection type (serial / TCP / BLE) with only the relevant fields shown for each (serial port + baud, TCP host + port, or BLE address), and toggle send adverts and channel bridging (MT⇄MC). Writes the meshcore block of config.json.
  • 📡 MeshCore-only / standalone toggle — the Meshtastic step gained an Enable Meshtastic radio checkbox. Uncheck it (meshtastic_enabled=false) to configure a MeshCore-only node with no Meshtastic device, directly from the wizard.
  • 🔀 Default Send Network selector — the node-identity step now sets default_send_network (auto / Meshtastic only / MeshCore only / both).
  • ♻️ Pre-population — every new field loads from your existing config.json when you re-run the wizard, so nothing is lost.

The wizard now flows: Welcome → Meshtastic Radio → MeshCore Radio → AI Provider → Node Identity. No backend or config-schema changes — the wizard simply writes the same keys the Config editor already supports.
