Release Checklist

Code

• No unused parameters or dead arrays.
• No misleading field names.
• No heavy dynamic allocation in AVR/Tiny mode.
• String helpers are guarded by PWP_ENABLE_STRING_OUTPUT.
• toCsv(char*, size_t) is the default example output path.
• CRC-16 profile import rejects corrupted data.
• Filtering behavior is documented and smoke-tested.
• Conductivity trend is not presented as EC/salinity/freezing-point.

Examples

• Every example lives in examples/ExampleName/ExampleName.ino.
• Every example is dependency-free by default.
• Shared pins come from examples/PwpExamplePins.h.
• Shared helpers come from examples/PwpExampleUtils.h.
• Serial wait has a timeout.
• PULSED_HIGH_ONLY and PULSED_HIGH_LOW use different acquisition paths.
• AVR-facing CSV output uses bounded buffers sized by PWP_CSV_BUFFER_SIZE.

Metadata

• library.properties exists in repository root.
• src/PulseWetProbe.h is the public header.
• library.properties, library.json, CITATION.cff, README, CHANGELOG, and release notes versions match.
• Git tag matches library.properties version, for example v0.3.7.

CI

• Arduino Lint strict Library Manager mode passes.
• arduino/compile-sketches matrix passes.
• Host smoke tests pass.
• AVR compile/memory output is reviewed.

Hardware evidence

• Dry/wet plate CSV and plot.
• Soil trend CSV and plot.
• Brine-like trend CSV and plot only if public docs highlight it.
• ESP32 touch hardware evidence if highlighted.
• Wiring and resistor values recorded.

Claim control

• No certified RWIS claim.
• No exact EC/salinity claim.
• No freezing-point detection claim.
• No guaranteed corrosion-free behavior claim.
• Diagnostics described as heuristic/trend-based.
