Week 12 - Aug 3-9, 2026

Focus: Direction 2 review and Direction 3 implementation

What I did

  • Kept PR #911 in a focused three-commit structure for the numeric-setting feature, tests, and documentation. qlrd's first re-review gave the current change an informal LGTM.
  • Opened Draft PR #922 for the third audit-derived direction. Load Mnemonic now starts with QR Code, Words, From Storage, and Other Formats.
  • Kept the six specialist recovery formats in one flat Other Formats menu, preserving their existing handlers and the two levels of Back navigation.
  • Checked the format-first menus on TZT, M5StickV, and Amigo, then completed physical TZT acceptance with touch and buttons.
  • Checked all 11 translations against the M5StickV menu width after review raised a question about long labels.

Verification

  • PR #922 passes 68 focused loader tests and the full 1,126-test suite with one expected failure and 97% coverage.
  • Formatting, Pylint, translation validation, Vulture, the strict documentation build, and the MicroPython guardrail pass.
  • The simulator sequences covered the common options, specialist formats, and both Back levels on TZT, M5StickV, and Amigo.
  • Wrapping occurs in four M5StickV locales: es-MX, ko-KR, pt-BR, and tr-TR. Every tested menu remains readable with all items and Back visible.

What I found

The format-first hierarchy shortens the common QR Code and Words routes. It makes specialist formats more explicit, but moves them one level deeper. This is why the PR remains a Draft for information-architecture review.

The translation check also exposed that the new Other Formats row was still hard-coded in English. I restored the existing translation key, added a Portuguese regression test, and refreshed the four wrapping-locale captures.

Things I noticed

  • Translation stress needs to cover every available locale, not only the languages expected to produce the longest Latin labels.
  • The M5StickV remains the useful constraint case for menu wrapping even when the same labels fit without wrapping on TZT and Amigo.
  • A Draft PR gives maintainers a concrete design-review surface without expanding the work into new decoders, formats, or input methods.

Next week

  • Follow maintainer review on PRs #911 and #922.
  • Keep any PR #922 follow-up within its format-first menu scope.
  • Complete the programme record through August 16 without mixing later implementation results into the original audit findings.
