v0.99.80

A large release centered on a new error & recovery center, live per-slot filament state across AMS backends, a pre-flight filament-validation gate before printing, on-screen native filament remapping for the Snapmaker U1, QIDI Box stock-firmware filament control, and print-failure (spaghetti) detection on the Snapmaker U1 — plus temperature-graph rendering fixes and WiFi recovery hardening.

  • Error & recovery center — AFC/AMS jams and other errors surface as an actionable recovery dialog with context-aware buttons instead of raw error text; errors are routed and styled by severity, and the notification badge reflects the worst unread severity. Toolchange progress shows as a backend-driven step bar.

  • Live per-slot filament state — the filament panel binds reactively to live per-slot color, material, and load state across AMS backends, with a two-tone chip showing the gcode-intended color over the actually-loaded color and truthful tool numbers.

  • Pre-flight filament check before printing — selecting a file runs a validation that detects empty slots and filament/color mismatches across all AMS backends, labels chips from the real gcode tools, and can block the print or open native remapping from the gate.

  • Snapmaker U1 on-screen filament remapping — remap virtual tools to physical heads from the touchscreen using the firmware's native print_task_config commands (sent before PRINT_START), with a four-phase load/unload step bar (Home / Select / Heat / Feed-Retract) and a shared remap UI used by all backends.

  • U1 / ACE gcode tool remapper — a comprehensive tool remapper applied via the HelixPrint plugin, with a per-backend remap strategy.

  • Print-failure (spaghetti) detection on Snapmaker U1 — a detection framework with a U1 stock-firmware source that flags failures on pause, a per-source enable/policy setting, and a Resume / Abort / Reduce Sensitivity response dialog.

  • QIDI Box stock-firmware filament control (#1041) — real load/unload and dryer indication on stock firmware, per-lane eject via FORCE_MOVE (gated on force_move, with a config hint when unavailable), configurable eject distance/velocity, dryer remember-last, and firmware-capability detection.

  • Multi-extruder nozzle temperature widget — a responsive widget showing each nozzle's temperature, collapsing multiplexed AFC/MMU lanes to a single nozzle row.

  • Real screen power-off on devices without backlight control (#1049) — in-process DRM connector DPMS power-off and a reachable screensaver on no-backlight devices.

  • Snapmaker U1 stock firmware support — HelixScreen autostarts on stock U1 firmware (via the input-event daemon) with per-head seated-filament truth read from print_task_config.

  • Automatic LED control — LED state is wired into the printer lifecycle, and reprints route through the start controller so the U1 native pre-send applies.

  • Temperature graph rendering (#979) — the gradient fill now renders under LVGL 9.5 (it was invisible), live curves no longer freeze or go gappy, per-extruder lines stay correct, a drop-to-0 history filter removes spurious dips, and the near-curve gradient is more visible on the U1.

  • WiFi recovers from a failed bringup (#1036) instead of dying permanently, detects the wpa_supplicant control interface from its -c/-C arguments, and debounces a transient AUTH_FAILED before CONNECTED (#1050).

  • Touch input (#943, #986) — multi-touch digitizers are scaled correctly and the recalibrate control stays visible on the DRM backend.

  • No false runout alarms — empty or never-loaded lanes no longer raise runout or AMS error alarms, and the idle runout modal is suppressed during AMS load/unload.

  • QIDI Box idle load homes first (#1041), and QIDI Q2 is no longer misdetected as an Artillery M1 (#1027) — algo_app.service is no longer treated as M1-exclusive.

  • Per-printer layout reloads on switch.

  • Thumbnail/preview robustness — truncated or non-PNG thumbnail data is rejected before decoding, metadata is fetched on programmatic file selection, and gcode load no longer deadlocks on the display view-mode or leaves a blank preview on re-entry.

  • Fan control overlay re-registers before each push; the error-recovery dialog is width-responsive and fits 4+ buttons on one row (#1043).

  • Ultrawide home layout uses a responsive grid with a slimmer navbar.

  • Generic LED strips default to white-only until the Klipper config proves RGB, so the color picker only appears on RGB-capable strips.
