NTPSettings::apply() waited up to 5 s in getLocalTime() for a clock that
can't be set before the network is up, then returned before it set TZ.
Every cold boot was 5 s slower and ran without its time zone. It now
calls configTzTime(), which sets the zone and starts SNTP without
waiting, and save() goes through apply(). /setgeneral checked
ntpServer twice, so a request that changed only the zone was ignored.
A restore ignored the result of ShadeConfigFile::restore() and rebooted
either way, so a bad file failed with no word to the user. The /restore
reply now validates the file and answers 400, which the restore dialog
shows, and an incomplete upload gets a 400 instead of no reply. A
failed restore changes nothing, so loop() no longer reboots after one.
/shades.tmp, a full copy of the backup with its rolling codes, is
deleted after every restore and after /updateShadeConfig.
The 6 extra bytes in the 2026-10-18 backup: TRANS_REC_SIZE stayed 74
when noiseDetection was added to the 80-byte transceiver record, so
every backup since declares it short. It is 80 now. The size check
stays a warning so those backups still restore, and the sum moves to
expectedFileBytes() with tests. The repeater record length is checked
as a warning only, since validate() also runs on shades.cfg at boot.
Commands for an unknown shade, tilt or group now log a warning, and a
socket that never pinged says so. KNOWN_ISSUES.md is updated, including
the real cause of the ~365 ms loop stall (radio_tx busy-waits each frame
on loop()'s core).

A restore without "shades" skipped the shade and group records but not
the room records, which come first, so it read the repeaters and the
settings from room data. The skip is now shadeModelBytes(), in a
ConfigHeader.h the native tests can reach, which counts rooms, shades
and groups. Found during LOOP_QUEUE_PLAN.md's review.
