fix(NodeDB): reset a persisted event firmware_edition on vanilla builds - #11504
Conversation
myNodeInfo lives in devicestate, which survives a firmware reinstall, and the boot-time edition stamp was compiled out entirely on builds without USERPREFS_FIRMWARE_EDITION. A device flashed from an event build back to vanilla therefore kept reporting the event edition forever, and clients kept its branding until a factory reset. Stamp VANILLA in the else branch so the running build is always the source of truth.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Vanilla boots may still retain and report a previously persisted event edition, allowing clients to continue showing stale event branding. This is a concrete correctness issue in the intended fix, so the PR is not merge-ready until the persistence ordering is corrected. Possibly related PRs

- Around line 618-624: Move the firmware-edition assignment block for
myNodeInfo, including the USERPREFS_FIRMWARE_EDITION and VANILLA branches, to
after the initial devicestateCRC snapshot and before saveWhat/devicestate CRC
comparison. Ensure a firmware-edition-only change causes SEGMENT_DEVICESTATE to
be included in saveToDisk so the vanilla edition is persisted.
In `@test/test_firmware_edition/test_main.cpp`:
- Around line 21-31: Update test_vanillaBoot_resetsPersistedEventEdition to read
the saved devicestate through the native storage test API after reboot,
bypassing NodeDB constructor fallback, and assert the persisted firmware_edition
is VANILLA. Do not rely solely on devicestate.my_node.firmware_edition after
constructing the second NodeDB.

…sk value Review follow-up: the stamp sat after the devicestate CRC compare, so an edition-only change stayed RAM-only and the persisted event edition survived on disk. Move it next to the other running-build-wins fixups (device_id, min_app_version), which run inside the CRC window, and extend the test to read device.proto back so the persisted value is asserted too.

Why
Users report that clients keep showing event branding (DEFCON, Burning Man, …) after they reinstall vanilla firmware. The device is the one still reporting the event edition:
myNodeInfois an alias intodevicestate.my_node, which is persisted flash state that survives a firmware reinstall.NodeDB::NodeDB()is wrapped in#ifdef USERPREFS_FIRMWARE_EDITION, so vanilla builds compile it out and never write the field.Result: flash an event build once and
MyNodeInfo.firmware_editionreports that edition forever — a factory reset is the only way out, which matches the field reports. Clients (verified against the Android branding pipeline) clear correctly the moment the device reportsVANILLA, so the fix belongs here.What
Stamp the field unconditionally at boot: the
#elsebranch writesmeshtastic_FirmwareEdition_VANILLA, making the running build the source of truth. Event/DIY builds that defineUSERPREFS_FIRMWARE_EDITIONare unchanged.Tests
New native suite
test_firmware_edition: persists a DEFCON edition in devicestate, reboots a NodeDB in a build withoutUSERPREFS_FIRMWARE_EDITION, and asserts the edition resets toVANILLA. Fails before the fix (Expected 0 Was 17), passes after. Declared intest/state-manifest.tsv. Full native suite run alongside; no regressions.Summary by CodeRabbit
