Tracking: upstream PR replicas — adoption priority

[mairas]

Adoption-priority order for the 24 upstream PRs (mxtommy/Kip #1064–#1094, excluding our own #1091/#1092) replicated here as SKip PRs #40–#65.

Each was scored on user impact + marine-safety relevance (safety weighted) minus adoption effort + merge risk; an agent read each PR's description, linked bug reports, and diff. Tiers below are the recommended working order — check items off as they merge or close.

Legend: #NN links the SKip PR · ⚠️ conflict-resolved = the replicated diff isn't a faithful upstream copy (needs a build + diff-read) · 🔗 = part of an ordered stack · "addresses #N" = closes/overlaps a review issue.

Tier 1 — Safety-critical display correctness

Wrong/stale instrument data is the worst failure mode for a marine display. Both are ~1-file fixes.

• Fix True Wind Angle offset in Wind/Sail Steer simple compass mode (#1066, #1063) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1073) #43 · mxtommy/Kip#1073 — True Wind Angle shown ~90° wrong in Wind/Sail-Steer simple compass mode — wrong sailing-angle data. One file + tests.
• Restore TTL reset to dashes after a data timeout (#1069) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1076) #42 · mxtommy/Kip#1076 — Timed-out values stay on screen instead of resetting to "--" (4.8.0 regression) — stale GPS/engine readings look live.

Tier 2 — Autopilot & chart correctness

Small, high-relevance fixes. This tier fills the codebase review's acknowledged blind spot — widget/instrument correctness was never reviewed.

• [codex] Fix autopilot standby button label (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1068) #41 · mxtommy/Kip#1068 — Autopilot standby button shows correct Engage/Disengage under SK API v2.
• Place autopilot SVG menu above widget overlay (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1065) #44 · mxtommy/Kip#1065 — Autopilot mode menu visible-but-unclickable (z-index); restores control.
• Make V2 autopilot mode menu provider-agnostic (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1064) #45 · mxtommy/Kip#1064 — Autopilot mode menu provider-agnostic (works beyond pypilot).
• Add per-chart angle display range for real-time charts (#1070) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1078) #49 · mxtommy/Kip#1078 — Signed-angle wrapping fix in real-time charts (wind-shift discontinuities).

Tier 3 — Reliability & low-power performance

Pi-hardware smoothness and persistence reliability.

• Await server writes before reload/refresh (fix misused-promise bugs) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1089) #65 · mxtommy/Kip#1089 — Config save/restore/delete silent data loss (5 unawaited-write races). High value; heaviest review (conflict-resolved against SKip's storage rewrite). — ⚠️ conflict-resolved · addresses [PCS-03] Routine config saves have no user-facing failure reporting #15 · addresses [PCS-04] loadDemoConfig navigates before demo-config write is awaited, silently losing data #16
• Cut per-delta work on the data hot path (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1085) #52 · mxtommy/Kip#1085 — Cut per-delta hot-path CPU/allocations (Pi smoothness). Cheap, safe.
• Fix resize, data-inspector and race-timer hot spots (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1086) #55 · mxtommy/Kip#1086 — Real race-timer subscription leak + resize/data-inspector fixes. Cheap.
• Cut per-widget render and change-detection overhead (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1087) #56 · mxtommy/Kip#1087 — Per-widget render / change-detection overhead.
• Trim startup bundle and unblock first paint (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1084) #53 · mxtommy/Kip#1084 — Trim startup bundle / unblock first paint on Pi.
• Lazy-load widget components and the history chart dialog (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1088) #57 · mxtommy/Kip#1088 — Lazy-load widget chunks (~30% initial transfer); bigger change.
• Hide the fullscreen control when running inside an iframe (#1062) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1075) #40 · mxtommy/Kip#1075 — Hide fullscreen control when embedded in an iframe (bumps up if SKip is embedded in Homarr/HaLOS).

Tier 4 — Features / niche (schedule deliberately)

Stacks are all-or-nothing and must land in order.

• Image assets (1/3): Signal K plugin secure upload, processing, worker pool, cache (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1080) #54 · mxtommy/Kip#1080 — Image assets 1/3 — SK plugin: upload, processing, worker pool, cache. — 🔗 image 1/3
• Image assets (2/3): Angular client ImageAssetService + Image widget (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1081) #50 · mxtommy/Kip#1081 — Image assets 2/3 — Angular client + Image widget. — 🔗 image 2/3 · after Image assets (1/3): Signal K plugin secure upload, processing, worker pool, cache (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1080) #54
• Image assets (3/3): widget config UI + settings image-cache card (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1082) #62 · mxtommy/Kip#1082 — Image assets 3/3 — config UI + image-cache card. — ⚠️ conflict-resolved · 🔗 image 3/3 · after Image assets (2/3): Angular client ImageAssetService + Image widget (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1081) #50
• Video widget (1/3): local URL playback (foundation) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1090) #58 · mxtommy/Kip#1090 — Video widget 1/3 — local URL playback (foundation). — 🔗 video 1/3
• Video widget (2/3): IP-camera streaming via the SK Video gateway (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1093) #59 · mxtommy/Kip#1093 — Video widget 2/3 — IP-camera streaming (HLS/MJPEG/WebRTC, PTZ). Large: 66 files. — 🔗 video 2/3 · after Video widget (1/3): local URL playback (foundation) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1090) #58
• Video widget (3/3): accessibility, theming and UX overhaul (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1094) #61 · mxtommy/Kip#1094 — Video widget 3/3 — touch PTZ, accessibility, theming, UX. — 🔗 video 3/3 · after Video widget (2/3): IP-camera streaming via the SK Video gateway (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1093) #59
• Add configurable browser tab title (#1055) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1077) #63 · mxtommy/Kip#1077 — Configurable browser tab title (already branding-adapted to SKip). — ⚠️ conflict-resolved
• Fix Help images 404 when KIP is served under a base href (#1056) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1074) #48 · mxtommy/Kip#1074 — Help-image 404 fix (only matters under a sub-path base href).
• Add regression tests for solar widget config persistence (#1061) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1079) #51 · mxtommy/Kip#1079 — Solar-config persistence TESTS only (doesn't fix a bug; cheap to fold in).
• Add MCP dashboard-schema generator (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1072) #47 · mxtommy/Kip#1072 — MCP dashboard-schema generator (AI tooling; no end-user impact).

Close — don't work

Redundant with work already in main.

• Fix pre-existing client test-suite failures (54 to 0) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1083) #60 · mxtommy/Kip#1083 — "Repair 54 test failures": the same specs are already fixed in main (the merged fix/ci-test-failures branch), and its one genuine app fix (the JSON.parse crash = SEC-08) is also already in main. Recommend closing the replica. — ⚠️ conflict-resolved · → recommend close

Cross-cutting:

• The two stacks (image #54→#50→#62, video #58→#59→#61) are all-or-nothing; don't start one unless you want the whole feature, and land it in order.
• The 4 ⚠️ conflict-resolved PRs (Await server writes before reload/refresh (fix misused-promise bugs) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1089) #65, Image assets (3/3): widget config UI + settings image-cache card (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1082) #62, Add configurable browser tab title (#1055) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1077) #63, Fix pre-existing client test-suite failures (54 to 0) (replicates mxtommy/Kip #1083) #60) are the only replicas whose diff was hand-adapted to SKip's divergence — review them regardless of tier.
• Tier 1–2 fixes cover instrument/widget correctness, which the codebase review explicitly did not assess.
