ci: pin GitHub Actions to commit SHAs

Replace floating major-tag references (uses: foo/bar@vN) with the specific commit SHAs they currently resolve to, annotated with the fully-versioned tag (# vX.Y.Z) for human readability. Pinning to a SHA makes the action behaviour reproducible across runs and removes the supply-chain risk of a maintainer (or attacker) moving a tag to a new commit. One documented exception: semgrep/semgrep-action does not publish v1.x.y semver tags — v1 is their only canonical release name on that line — so it keeps a "# v1" annotation with an inline explanation. actions/dependency-review-action's previous "@v5" reference would have failed at run time: that repo only ships fully-versioned tags (v5.0.0), no moving v5 alias. Pinned to v5.0.0 explicitly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

+# What a SoundTouch speaker does during factory reset
+
+Observed live on ST10 firmware `27.0.6.46330.5043500` (build `epdbuild.trunk.hepdswbld04.2022-08-04`) on 2026-05-12, by running `soundtouch-cli setup factory-reset` and tailing the speaker's `logread` over SSH. The trace is preserved at `_/logs/factory-reset.txt` for reference.
+
+## Sequence
+
+1. **Telnet receives `sys factorydefault`.** The diagnostic shell on port 17000 accepts the command and acknowledges. Some firmwares close the socket as part of the reboot — our CLI's `setup factory-reset` tolerates that as success.
+
+2. **Speaker DELETEs itself from its marge account.** Before wiping anything, the firmware does:
+   ```
+   [MargeStateAssociated] HandleRemoveDeviceRequest - Removing this device from the user's Marge account
+   [MargeClient]          RemoveDevice calling Marge Server with https://streaming.bose.com/streaming/account/{accountId}/device/{deviceId}
+   [MargeClient]          RemoveDeviceCB - Device removed from the user's Marge account
+   [MargeStateAssociated] HandleRemoveDeviceRequestSuccessCB, Marge returned: {"ok": true}
+   ```
+   AfterTouch already handles this — `HandleMargeRemoveDevice` (`pkg/service/handlers/handlers_marge.go:633`) routed via `r.Delete("/device/{device}", …)` in `cmd/soundtouch-service/main.go:955`. The handler calls `marge.RemoveDeviceFromAccount(s.ds, account, device)` and prunes the device from the datastore.
+
+3. **Speaker notifies its LAN peers.** Two HTTP POSTs to each known peer at `:8090/notification`:
+   ```
+   [NotificationSender] SendNotifyLisas_: URL: >>http://192.168.123.122:8090/notification<<, m_msgdata.size(58)
+   [SimpleURLFetcher]   multipart/form-data text/xml
+   ```
+   ~58 bytes of `multipart/form-data` carrying `text/xml`. "Lisas" is the firmware's internal term for LAN peers (devices on the same account on the same network segment). AfterTouch is **not** on this path — it's pure peer-to-peer over the LAN. Peers presumably refresh their account info as a result.
+
+4. **Local state teardown.** Bluetooth pairings cleared (`BTRemoteDeviceAccess::ClearPrevPairedList`), zone/group state torn down, all source proxies disconnected (`STSAccountProxy::Disconnect Requested` × many).
+
+5. **Persistence cleanup.** Logs, core dumps wiped (`FactoryDefault: Clearing the CoreDump and BoseLogs … rm -rf /mnt/nv/BoseLog/*`). Notably **NOT wiped**: `/mnt/nv/aftertouch.resolv.conf`, `/mnt/nv/rc.local`'s Aftertouch hook, and `/mnt/nv/BoseApp-Persistence/1/SystemConfigurationDB.xml`. The reset only touches log directories and account-specific persistence under the same `/mnt/nv/BoseApp-Persistence/1/` tree.
+
+6. **Reboot into setup mode.** Speaker drops Wi-Fi, comes back as its own AP `Bose SoundTouch XXXX` on 192.0.2.1.
+
+## Implications for migration ordering
+
+The DELETE in step 2 only reaches AfterTouch if the speaker's `margeURL` already points at AfterTouch *at the moment of reset*. A speaker still pointing at `streaming.bose.com` sends it into the void → AfterTouch keeps a stale `account/{id}/device/{id}` entry until someone manually prunes it.
+
+Therefore for a clean datastore lifecycle on an already-Bose-paired speaker:
+
+1. Migrate URLs first (`setup migrate --method=resolv` or `--method=telnet`).
+2. Reboot to apply.
+3. Factory reset.
+4. Re-provision.
+
+`soundtouch-cli setup plan --reset` currently runs factory-reset first (optimal for already-on-AfterTouch speakers); both `setup plan --reset` and `setup factory-reset` print a one-line note explaining the ordering tradeoff so users can pick the right sequence for their starting state.
+
+## Implications for AfterTouch behaviour
+
+- The DELETE handler is already correct; no changes needed.
+- AfterTouch is invisible to the LAN-peer notification step — that's just LAN HTTP between speakers.
+- If you build a "consolidate account" / "migrate fleet" feature later, the peer-notification channel is the propagation path the firmware uses internally; AfterTouch doesn't need to do anything analogous.
+- The persistence layer at `/mnt/nv/` is **factory-reset-resistant**. Our DNS-redirect migration (`setup migrate --method=resolv`) writes there specifically so AfterTouch routing survives a reset. This is intentional — the user can factory-reset a speaker freely without re-running migration.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- Are there other peer endpoints the firmware POSTs to besides `:8090/notification`? Worth checking on a 3-speaker LAN.
+- Does the `:8090/notification` payload format match the format used for play-as-notification audio pushes, or is it a distinct message shape? The "size(58)" byte count is too small for an audio URL but big enough for an XML envelope with an event type.
+
+If you want either of these answered, capture two synchronised `logread -f` streams from two LAN speakers while one is being reset.

+# Experiment: Does bare `setMargeAccount` work outside the SETUP bracket?
+
+## Why we are doing this
+
+Our captured pairing flow (`docs/reference/DEVICE-PAIRING-FLOW.md`) shows the official Bose app always sends `setMargeAccount` *inside* a `SETUP_START` → `SETUP_ENTER` → `SETUP_LEAVE` state-machine bracket over WebSocket. The question this experiment answers:
+
+> If we open a WebSocket to a factory-reset speaker and send **only** `setMargeAccount` — no surrounding setupState messages — does the device honor it and write its persistence files (`SystemConfigurationDB.xml`, `Sources.xml`) cleanly?
+
+The answer determines the shape of `PairAccount`:
+
+- **If YES:** `PairAccount` becomes uniform: WebSocket-first, HTTP `/setMargeAccount` second, telnet `envswitch accountid set` third. One function, one ordering, all callers.
+- **If NO:** WebSocket pairing is only meaningful inside the full state machine. Factory-reset path uses the state machine; re-pair path keeps today's HTTP→telnet ordering.
+
+## Preconditions
+
+- A SoundTouch speaker that has been **factory-reset** and joined to the test Wi-Fi.
+- Speaker reachable on `:8090` (HTTP API) and `:8080` (WebSocket).
+- Speaker's runtime marge URL already points at AfterTouch (run the existing telnet URL rewrite first — otherwise the device's downstream POST will land on the dead Bose cloud and we will not be able to distinguish "WS message refused" from "downstream cloud failed").
+- A free 7-digit account ID — for example, generated via `setup.GenerateAccountID(nil)`.
+
+## Step 0 — Baseline
+
+```bash
+DEVICE=192.168.x.x
+curl -s http://$DEVICE:8090/info     | xmllint --format -
+curl -s http://$DEVICE:8090/sources  | xmllint --format -
+curl -s http://$DEVICE:8090/presets  | xmllint --format -
+```
+
+Record:
+
+- `<margeAccountUUID>` — expect empty on a factory-reset device.
+- `<margeURL>` — expect the AfterTouch URL (preflight already applied).
+- `<sources>` — expect a minimal list.
+- `<presets>` — expect `<presets/>`.
+
+## Step 1 — Send bare `setMargeAccount` over WebSocket
+
+Build the CLI once:
+
+```bash
+make build
+```
+
+Then run the bare path against the speaker:
+
+```bash
+DEVICE=192.168.x.x
+./build/soundtouch-cli setup pair --host=$DEVICE --account=1234567 --mode=bare
+```
+
+What it does:
+
+1. Reads `/info` to discover `deviceID`, logs the pre-state.
+2. Opens a WebSocket to `$DEVICE:8080` with the `gabbo` subprotocol.
+3. Sends exactly one frame — the `setMargeAccount` envelope — **without** any preceding `SETUP_START`/`SETUP_ENTER`.
+4. Reads frames for up to `--step-timeout=8s` (configurable), looking for an ack referencing our `requestID`.
+5. Closes the WebSocket, waits 2 s, re-reads `/info`, prints whether `margeAccountUUID` now equals our supplied ID.
+
+The exact frame sent (built by `setup.SetupSession.SetMargeAccount`):
+
+```xml
+<msg><header deviceID="DEVICE_ID" url="setMargeAccount" method="POST"><request requestID="1"/></header><body>
+  <PairDeviceWithAccount>
+    <accountId>1234567</accountId>
+    <userAuthToken>Bearer aftertouch</userAuthToken>
+  </PairDeviceWithAccount>
+</body></msg>
+```
+
+Outcomes the CLI will surface:
+
+- `Device accepted bare pairing.` (post-`/info` shows our ID) → **bare path works**.
+- `setMargeAccount: device rejected setMargeAccount: …` → device returned an `<error>` body → **bare path refused explicitly**.
+- `setMargeAccount: await ack for setMargeAccount: …` (timeout or EOF) → **bare path refused silently**.
+- `Device did NOT persist the pairing — bare path likely refused silently.` → ack received but persistence didn't follow.
+
+## Step 2 — Record outcome
+
+After step 1 (regardless of which branch happened):
+
+```bash
+sleep 2
+curl -s http://$DEVICE:8090/info | grep margeAccountUUID
+```
+
+| Observed result                                                              | Verdict                     |
+|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|
+| `<margeAccountUUID>1234567</margeAccountUUID>` appears                       | **YES** — Option 1 wins     |
+| `<margeAccountUUID></margeAccountUUID>` still empty, no error frame received | Refused silently → **NO**   |
+| Error frame returned (e.g. `<error name="UNSUPPORTED_STATE"/>`)              | Refused explicitly → **NO** |
+| Device drops the WebSocket connection without replying                       | Refused → **NO**            |
+
+If verdict is YES, also verify the device wrote persistence cleanly. Reboot the device, then:
+
+```bash
+ssh root@$DEVICE 'cat /mnt/nv/BoseApp-Persistence/1/SystemConfigurationDB.xml'
+ssh root@$DEVICE 'cat /mnt/nv/BoseApp-Persistence/1/Sources.xml'
+curl -s http://$DEVICE:8090/info | grep margeAccountUUID
+```
+
+The UUID must still be present after reboot, and `SystemConfigurationDB.xml` must contain `<AccountUUID>1234567</AccountUUID>`. If it survives reboot, **YES** is confirmed.
+
+## Step 3 — Control: full state machine
+
+Factory-reset the same speaker again and run the full state machine — the same CLI, `--mode=full`:
+
+```bash
+./build/soundtouch-cli setup pair --host=$DEVICE --account=1234567 --mode=full
+```
+
+This drives `setup.Manager.ExecuteInitPlan` with `SkipURLRewrite=true`, which runs:
+
+```
+SETUP_START
+SETUP_IDENTIFY_DEVICE_ENTER
+language sysLanguage=2
+SETUP_ENTER
+SETUP_IDENTIFY_DEVICE_LEAVE
+setMargeAccount …
+SETUP_LEAVE
+pushCustomerSupportInfoToMarge
+```
+
+The CLI logs every step with status. Confirm `/info`, persistence, and reboot-survival checks pass. If the bare path failed but the full path succeeds, the SETUP bracket is load-bearing — a follow-up bisect (e.g. `SETUP_START + setMargeAccount + SETUP_LEAVE` only) tells us *which* surrounding messages the firmware actually requires.
+
+## Full reset-and-rebuild loop
+
+Once the bare/full question is decided, the loop for repeated experiments is:
+
+```bash
+# 0. Speaker is currently on home Wi-Fi at $DEVICE.
+#    Capture deviceID-suffix + current SSID first so wait-online and
+#    wifi-push have the right inputs.
+./build/soundtouch-cli setup inspect --host=$DEVICE
+./build/soundtouch-cli setup factory-reset --host=$DEVICE
+
+# 1. Manually switch this host to the speaker's AP (Bose SoundTouch XXXX).
+#    macOS: networksetup -setairportnetwork en0 "Bose SoundTouch XXXX"
+
+./build/soundtouch-cli setup wait-ap
+./build/soundtouch-cli setup wifi-push --ssid="$HOME_SSID" --pass="$HOME_PASS"
+
+# 2. Manually switch this host back to home Wi-Fi.
+
+./build/soundtouch-cli setup wait-online --match=DE4803          # deviceID suffix from /info before reset
+# (note the new IP from the "Speaker discovered" line)
+
+NEW_IP=192.168.x.y
+./build/soundtouch-cli setup migrate --host=$NEW_IP --service-url=http://aftertouch.local:8000   # default --method=telnet
+
+# Optional, if you want the DNS-redirect path instead of (or alongside) telnet envswitch:
+#   1. ./build/soundtouch-cli setup ssh-check --host=$NEW_IP            # USB-stick procedure if 22 is closed
+#   2. ./build/soundtouch-cli setup install-ca --host=$NEW_IP --service-url=http://aftertouch.local:8000
+#   3. ./build/soundtouch-cli setup migrate --host=$NEW_IP --service-url=http://aftertouch.local:8000 --method=resolv
+./build/soundtouch-cli setup pair --host=$NEW_IP --mode=bare   # or --mode=full
+```
+
+The two manual lines are user-side Wi-Fi switches that can't be automated portably. The `wait-ap` and `wait-online` subcommands poll for the corresponding network state, so timing them is hands-off.
+
+## Recording the result
+
+Append to this file under `## Results`:
+
+```
+- Date: YYYY-MM-DD
+- Firmware: 27.x.x

+- Bare setMargeAccount accepted: yes/no
+- Persistence written: yes/no
+- Survives reboot: yes/no
+- Notes: ...
+```
+
+One row per device tested. Once two devices on different firmware confirm the same verdict, we treat it as decided.
+
+## Results
+
+- Date: 2026-05-13
+- Firmware: 27.0.6.46330.5043500 (build epdbuild.trunk.hepdswbld04.2022-08-04T11:20:29)
+- Model: SoundTouch 10 (deviceID A81B6A536A98)
+- Bare setMargeAccount accepted: **yes** — pre-/info margeAccountUUID="" → post-/info margeAccountUUID="1111111"
+- Persistence written: **yes** — device materialized 14-entry Sources.xml on its own
+- Survives reboot: **yes** — `setup inspect` after `setup reboot` shows margeAccountUUID still 1111111
+- Notes: After bare pairing, the speaker did the full post-pairing handshake against AfterTouch (POST /streaming/support/power_on, GET /streaming/sourceproviders, GET /streaming/account/{id}/full, group/, provider_settings). No SETUP_START/SETUP_ENTER/SETUP_LEAVE was ever sent. Verdict: bare path is functionally equivalent to the full state machine on this firmware.
+
+### Implication for the codebase
+
+- `pkg/service/setup/setup_session.go` keeps the full state machine for completeness, but
+- `pkg/service/setup/init_plan.go`'s default could be simplified to "send setMargeAccount only" once we have one more confirming run on a different model.
+- The OCT issue-167 SSH-XML seeding workaround is **not required**.
+
+### Appendix — SystemConfigurationDB.xml comparison
+
+Post-experiment we compared the device-written `/mnt/nv/BoseApp-Persistence/1/SystemConfigurationDB.xml` from the bare-paired speaker against two SSH backups taken from speakers originally paired by the official Bose app (account 3230304, devices `A_Sound_Machine` and `Sound_Machinechen`). The diff is much smaller than expected — only two fields differ, and neither is set by the pairing protocol itself:
+
+| Field                    | Bare-paired (1111111)                      | Real-Bose-paired (3230304) | Set by                                                                                                    |
+|--------------------------|--------------------------------------------|----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `DeviceName`             | `Bose SoundTouch 536A98` (factory default) | `Sound Machinechen`        | `name` WS message — only sent in `--mode=full`                                                            |
+| `AccountAssociatedEMail` | empty                                      | **empty**                  | Never populated, even by real Bose                                                                        |
+| `AccountUUID`            | `1111111`                                  | `3230304`                  | `setMargeAccount` — both paths set it                                                                     |
+| `Locale`                 | empty                                      | **empty**                  | Never populated, even by real Bose                                                                        |
+| `acctMode`               | `global`                                   | `global`                   | Firmware-default; no protocol path observed to change it                                                  |
+| `isMultiDeviceAccount`   | `false`                                    | `true`                     | Derived from the cloud's `/streaming/account/{id}/full` response — count of `<devices>` > 1 flips it true |
+| `margeAuthServerToken`   | empty                                      | **empty**                  | Never populated, even by real Bose                                                                        |
+| `Password`               | (encrypted blob)                           | (encrypted blob)           | Device-local key; expected to differ                                                                      |
+
+Three of the seven informational fields are empty even after a real-Bose pairing — the firmware simply doesn't populate `AccountAssociatedEMail`, `Locale`, or `margeAuthServerToken` from the pairing flow. So bare pairing isn't missing any field that real pairing fills.
+
+The two genuinely different fields:
+
+- **`DeviceName`** — pure UX. Settable any time post-pair via `name` POST (`soundtouch-cli name set --value=…`) or by sending the `name` WS message during `--mode=full` pairing.
+- **`isMultiDeviceAccount`** — not a pairing concern. It's derived from the account's device count on AfterTouch's side; flips to `true` automatically the next time the speaker refreshes account state if a second speaker has been paired to the same account.
+
+So the experiment's YES verdict stands unqualified: bare `setMargeAccount` produces a `SystemConfigurationDB.xml` functionally equivalent to one written by the official pairing flow.

+## Connecting to the shell
+
+### From an already-on-network device
+
+The shell binds to TCP port 17000 on every device family observed (ST 10/20/300, Wave III/IV, ST 520, SA-5 — see §"Firmware era notes" for caveats). No authentication.
+
+```bash
+# A no-op probe just to verify reach.
+echo '' | nc -w 2 <device-ip> 17000
+
+# Or interactively — works the same.
+telnet <device-ip> 17000
+```
+
+The `bose` script (S4) goes one level lower and writes commands directly to a `/dev/tcp/<ip>/17000` redirection target instead of using `nc`. That's the same wire protocol with no library between.
+
+### From a factory-fresh / WiFi-less device
+
+Per S2/S3 — newer firmware may have closed this on some models:
+
+1. **Enter setup mode.** Press and hold key **2** + **volume down** for 5 seconds until the WiFi LED turns amber.
+2. **Connect your laptop to the speaker's open access point.** The speaker becomes its own AP.
+3. **Telnet to `192.0.2.1` on port 17000.**
+
+Once you've added a WiFi profile (see `network wifi profiles add` below) the speaker reboots into station mode and the AP goes away.
+
+### Hardware key combinations on the device itself

+**Example session — adding a network from setup mode (S3):**
+
+```

+
+The speaker stores the profile, drops the setup AP, and reboots into station mode.

+
+## The `key` family — front-panel button emulation
+
+Each `key …` command emulates a press of a physical button on the speaker
+or remote. Confirmed working on ST 10 / FW `27.0.6.46330.5043500` (S5);
+also visible on the ST 20/300/Wave captures in #221. Different from the
+`sys presetkey N p` form (S4) — the `key prefix_N` shape on FW 27 is what
+the device's own remote sends.
+
+| Command                         | Effect                                                                                | Source |
+|---------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|
+| `key prefix_1` … `key prefix_6` | Triggers preset 1–6 (same as a remote preset press).                                  | S5     |
+| `key play`                      | Begin / resume playback.                                                              | S5     |
+| `key pause`                     | Pause playback.                                                                       | S5     |
+| `key stop`                      | Stop playback (does **not** terminate the underlying stream).                         | S5     |
+| `key prev`                      | Restart current song / previous track.                                                | S5     |
+| `key next`                      | Next track.                                                                           | S5     |
+| `key aux`                       | Toggle Bluetooth / AUX input.                                                         | S5     |
+| `key power`                     | Echoes "OK" but no observable effect on FW 27.x — possibly handled at a higher layer. | S5     |
+
+The S4 `bose` script's `sys presetkey N p` form still works, but `key prefix_N` is shorter and matches what the remote already does on FW 27.x.

+## The `sys` family — system control & service URLs
+
+The `sys` family is the one our migration uses (see §"What we use during migration"). Two distinct sub-syntaxes coexist:
+
+- **Single-token verbs:** `sys reboot`, `sys volume`, `sys power`, etc.
+- **`sys configuration <key> <value>` setters** that modify persisted runtime configuration. Used for the four service URLs (margeServerUrl, statsServerUrl, swUpdateUrl, bmxRegistryUrl).

+
+Each `sys configuration` setter is reported by users to return `OK` on success. Wait for that token between commands (S6, `foob61451`).
+
+---
+
+## The `envswitch` family — parallel persistence layer
+
+`envswitch` writes to a separate, lower-level persistence store that **wins on next reboot** if the corresponding `sys configuration` value differs. So our migration writes both — see TELNET-MIGRATION-METHOD.md §2.1.
+
+| Command                                           | Purpose                                                                                       | Source  |
+|---------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
+| `envswitch boseurls set <margeUrl> <swUpdateUrl>` | Persist the marge and update URLs. **Two arguments**, in that order.                          | S6      |
+| `envswitch accountid set <numeric-id>`            | Equivalent to the HTTP `/setMargeAccount` POST. Used as fallback in our `PairAccount` helper. | S6      |
+| `envswitch accountid get`                         | Plausible by symmetry but **not yet confirmed** across firmwares; we probe it best-effort.    | (probe) |
+
+---
+
+## The `getpdo` family — read persisted configuration
+
+`getpdo <selector>` prints the contents of a persisted-data-object. We use it as the verification step after writing URLs.
+
+| Selector                            | Purpose                                                                                                                                                               | Source |
+|-------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|
+| `getpdo CurrentSystemConfiguration` | Echoes the resolved URL set, including margeServerUrl/bmxRegistryUrl/statsServerUrl/swUpdateUrl. We grep our targetURL out of this to confirm a successful migration. | S6     |
+
+---
+
+## The `scm` family — service control
+
+`scm` (System Control / Module manager) lets you inspect and restart internal services.
+
+| Command                 | Purpose                                                                                  | Availability   | Source                                                                       |
+|-------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `scm list`              | List running services.                                                                   | Older firmware | S1                                                                           |
+| `scm restart <service>` | Restart a service by name.                                                               | Older firmware | S1                                                                           |
+| `scm uboot_ver`         | Print bootloader version (`U-Boot 2013.01.01-…`). Confirmed working on SA-5 with FW 9.x. | Older firmware | [deborahgu/soundcork#141](https://github.com/deborahgu/soundcork/issues/141) |

+
+## Shell-unlock commands
+
+These are the commands that gated SSH access on older firmware. Both have been progressively removed; on FW 27.x they generally do nothing useful.
+
+| Command                     | Purpose                                                                                                                                                                                  | Availability     | Source                                                                           |
+|-----------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `remote_services on`        | Enable SSH on port 22. Volatile (re-enter after reboot). Response: `remote services on`. **Removed in FW 7.x+**.                                                                         | Old              | S1                                                                               |
+| `local_services on`         | Alternative enablement; works on some firmware where `remote_services` was removed. SA-5 FW 9.x reports `local services on`, but this alone does not appear to grant SSH on most models. | Old, hit-or-miss | S1, [deborahgu/soundcork#141](https://github.com/deborahgu/soundcork/issues/141) |
+| `demo enter` / `mode enter` | Unlocks demo / button-test mode (used historically to recover bricked units).                                                                                                            | Old              | S1                                                                               |

+
+## The `ws` and `swupdate` families
+
+| Command          | Purpose                                                                                                 | Availability | Source |
+|------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------|--------|

+| `swupdate abort` | Cancel a software update in progress.                                                                   | Wide         | S1     |
+
+---
+
+## `help`
+
+Lists the commands available on the running firmware. **Frequently removed** on later firmware — returns `Command not found` on FW 27.x in many of the captures we have. Still worth probing once during preflight: a successful response is a quick way to enumerate what this specific build supports without trial-and-error.
+
+---
+
+## Device codenames (S1)
+
+These show up in `getpdo`, `network status`, and SSH-side hostnames. Useful for matching captures to hardware.

+## Firmware era notes
+
+- **Firmware 1.x–7.x** (S1 era): everything — `help`, `remote_services on`, full `scm`, and an in-shell login prompt. `flarn2006` documents the original Linux insides.
+- **Firmware 8.x–14.x** (S2 era): `remote_services on` removed; `network`, `sys`, `envswitch`, `getpdo` still present. `local_services on` works on some Wave/SA-5 models.
+- **Firmware 27.x** (S5/S6 era — the long-lived "frozen" build that survived through EOS): `help`, `remote_services on`, and `sys ver` removed in some builds; `sys configuration …` and `envswitch …` confirmed working on ST 10, ST 20, ST 300, Wave III, Wave IV. **This is the firmware our migration targets**. The Portable on more recent firmware drops further commands and is the hardest target.
+
+  S5 enumerated the **top-level command roots** that don't return "Command not found" on a vanilla ST 10 (`rhino`) running `27.0.6.46330.5043500`:
+
+  ```
+  key
+  net
+  sys
+  getpdo
+  ```
+
+  Notably absent from that probe: `network`, `envswitch`, `scm`, `ws`, `swupdate`, `remote_services`, `local_services`, `demo`, `mode`, `help`. **However**, other captures on the same firmware family (S6, ST 20 / Wave III / Wave IV) accept `envswitch …`, suggesting either per-model variation in the shipped command table or an SSH/role gate the S5 author didn't trip. Implementations that use `envswitch` should treat its absence as a recoverable preflight outcome (we already do).
+
+  `net` is observed as a valid root by S5 but its sub-commands aren't enumerated; it may be a shorthand alias for `network` on FW 27.x ST 10.
+
+---
+
+## What we use during migration
+
+For quick reference, the exact sequence our `pkg/service/setup.migrateViaTelnet` issues, all on the same connection, in this order:
+
+```
+sys configuration bmxRegistryUrl <serverURL>/bmx/registry/v1/services
+sys configuration statsServerUrl <serverURL>
+sys configuration margeServerUrl <serverURL>
+sys configuration swUpdateUrl    <serverURL>/updates/soundtouch
+envswitch boseurls set <serverURL> <serverURL>/updates/soundtouch
+getpdo CurrentSystemConfiguration
+```
+
+Plus, when pairing a fresh device whose `:8090/setMargeAccount` is missing or wedged, the helper falls back to:
+
+```
+envswitch accountid set <7-digit-id>
+```
+
+Reboot is **not** part of these sequences — it stays a user-initiated action via the existing reboot button, which now accepts `?method=telnet|ssh` and sends `sys reboot` when telnet is picked.
+
+---
+
+## Out of scope here, but worth recording
+
+- **Setup-mode WiFi onboarding via 192.0.2.1.** The community uses this to add a fresh device to a network without the Bose app. Our `soundtouch-service` does not currently automate this, but `network wifi profiles add` is the entry point if we ever do.
+- **Direct preset / playback control via `sys`.** The S4 `bose` script demonstrates a viable headless remote-control path that does not need our marge emulation at all. Useful as a fallback for tooling on devices that refuse to talk to any cloud.
+- **`scm restart <service>`.** Not used today, but a possible recovery primitive on older firmware where a stuck service blocks streaming.

+# Telnet (Port 17000) Migration Method — Analysis
+
+This document captures the use cases, community findings, and feasibility analysis
+for adding a **Telnet/port 17000** migration path to `soundtouch-service` as a
+peer of the existing XML and DNS-based methods. The `/etc/hosts` method stays
+deprecated and is intentionally kept off the visible UI options.

+
+## 1. Why a third method is needed
+
+The two currently shipped methods both have hard preconditions that block real
+users:
+
+| Method                                  | Preconditions                                                | Failure modes seen in the wild                                                                                                                                                         |
+|-----------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| **XML** (`SoundTouchSdkPrivateCfg.xml`) | SSH/root access — needs `remote_services` USB unlock first   | Some firmware revisions (e.g. SA-5, ST520, latest ST Portable) refuse the USB unlock entirely; `remote_services on` was removed from the telnet command set in firmware 7.x and later. |
+| **DNS** (`resolv.conf` priority hook)   | SSH/root access; service must own port 53 on the LAN gateway | Won't fit users behind ISP routers they can't reconfigure; still requires the device to be SSH-reachable to write the hook.                                                            |
+
+The community has demonstrated a **third path that needs no SSH at all**:
+the device's built-in **diagnostic Telnet shell on TCP port 17000** accepts
+configuration commands that change exactly the same fields the XML method would.
+
+### 1.1 Confirmed user reports (firmware 27.0.6.46330.5043500 unless noted)
+
+| Reporter           | Hardware                  | Outcome                                                                                                     |
+|--------------------|---------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `foob61451` (#221) | ST 10, ST 20 (non-rooted) | All four URLs persisted via `sys configuration …`; `envswitch boseurls set …` survived `sys reboot`.        |
+| `bveenker` (#221)  | Wave III                  | URLs accepted; presets work after pairing via `/setMargeAccount` (see §3).                                  |
+| `stephan48` (#221) | Wave IV                   | Telnet:1700 + USB stick `remote_services` did **not** work; **port 17000 telnet** worked for all four URLs. |
+| `mcdona1d` (#141)  | ST 20, ST 300             | Confirmed working with `sys configuration …` + `envswitch …` + `sys reboot`.                                |
+| `TJGigs` (#228)    | ST 20 ×2, ST 10           | Wraps telnet:17000 into an admin "Smart Inject" tool; uses `sys reboot` over telnet to nudge devices.       |
+
+So the method is plausible across **at least ST 10/20/300 and Wave III/IV** on
+the most common firmware that survived the EOS cut, **without the USB unlock
+dance** that newer firmware refuses.
+
+---
+
+## 2. The Telnet:17000 command set we rely on
+
+> For a broader catalogue of every telnet command the community has documented
+> across firmware eras (the `key`, `network`, `sys`, `envswitch`, `getpdo`,
+> `scm`, `ws`, `swupdate`, and shell-unlock families), see
+> **[TELNET-COMMAND-REFERENCE.md](TELNET-COMMAND-REFERENCE.md)**. This
+> section only lists the subset our migration actually drives.
+
+
+### 2.1 URL configuration (the migration payload)
+
+The sequence we send for `soundtouch-service` (community-validated in #221, #141):
+
+```
+sys configuration bmxRegistryUrl http://<service-host>:8000/bmx/registry/v1/services
+sys configuration statsServerUrl http://<service-host>:8000
+sys configuration margeServerUrl http://<service-host>:8000
+sys configuration swUpdateUrl    http://<service-host>:8000/updates/soundtouch
+envswitch boseurls set http://<service-host>:8000 http://<service-host>:8000/updates/soundtouch
+getpdo CurrentSystemConfiguration
+```
+
+`sys reboot` is **not** part of this sequence. The migration flow only writes
+configuration — the reboot is user-initiated via the existing reboot button in
+the web UI, mirroring what XML/DNS migration already does. See §6.2 for how
+that button gains a `?method=ssh|telnet` selector.
+
+Three important details from the discussion:
+
+1. **`sys configuration` alone is not enough.** `stephan48` reported that
+   without the `envswitch boseurls set …` line his typo in `bmxRegistryUrl` was
+   silently restored on reboot — i.e. there is a parallel "envswitch" persistence
+   layer that wins on next boot if you don't also write to it. **We must always
+   issue both.**
+2. **margeServerUrl path is bare for `soundtouch-service`.** We mount the marge
+   endpoints at the **root** of port 8000, matching what the existing XML
+   migration writes (`Manager.migrateViaXML` in `pkg/service/setup/setup.go`
+   sets `MargeServerUrl: targetURL` without any suffix). Some community
+   recipes appended `/marge` because they were targeting
+   [`deborahgu/soundcork`](https://github.com/deborahgu/soundcork), which
+   routes marge under that sub-path. **For our service: bare URL. For users
+   redirecting to soundcork: append `/marge`** to both `margeServerUrl` and
+   the first argument of `envswitch boseurls set`.
+3. **Each command must be sent one at a time, waiting for the device's `OK`
+   response** before sending the next one (`foob61451`'s explicit warning).
+
+### 2.2 Account pairing fallback
+
+`envswitch accountid set <numeric-id>` was reported by `bveenker` (#221) as an
+in-band equivalent to the HTTP `/setMargeAccount` call, useful when the
+`/setMargeAccount` endpoint is missing on the firmware (see §3).
+
+### 2.3 Probing / preflight
+
+- A bare TCP connect to `<deviceIP>:17000` answers (no auth) on devices we care
+  about.
+- Useful read-only verification command: `getpdo CurrentSystemConfiguration` —
+  prints the URLs after the changes have been applied so we can verify before
+  rebooting.
+- `sys reboot` is the trigger that re-reads both layers.
+
+### 2.4 What Telnet:17000 cannot do
+
+- It does **not** install a custom CA. So if a user wants HTTPS rather than HTTP
+  redirection to our service (the DNS-method scenario, where `resolv.conf`
+  redirection collides with the device's TLS validation unless our root CA is
+  trusted on the device), telnet alone won't cover it. This is fine for our
+  default flow, which uses plain `http://` URLs to the service's port 8000.
+- It does not give us a way to read or write `Sources.xml` (third-party
+  account credentials) — that still requires SSH, but for a migration we don't
+  actually need it.
+
+---
+
+## 3. The `/setMargeAccount` problem (issue #236, #228)
+
+### 3.1 What it is
+
+A factory-reset speaker has an empty `<margeAccountUUID/>` in `:8090/info`. The
+marge endpoints fail with 502 / unhandled until that field is populated, which
+is why several users (#221, #236) saw **everything except AUX** broken after
+migration:
+
+```

+The values are not validated by the local service, so any numeric `accountId`
+will work — soundcork's runbook (#228) literally calls the token
+`soundcorkdoesntcare` to make the point.
+
+### 3.2 Why it's broken in practice
+
+There are **three independent failure modes** observed:
+
+| Symptom                                                         | Cause                                                                                                                 | Detection                                                                                                           |
+|-----------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Endpoint returns 404 / "not implemented"                        | Newer firmware (e.g. some BST20 Portable, latest ST Portable) drops the endpoint entirely.                            | `GET /supportedURLs` does **not** list `/setMargeAccount` in `<URL location="…"/>`.                                 |
+| Endpoint hangs (no response / socket stays open)                | "Broken state" the user explicitly called out — endpoint advertised, but handler is wedged.                           | Caller has to time out; we currently have no timeout, so the request appears to hang the migration UI indefinitely. |
+| `POST /marge/streaming/support/power_on` → 502 unhandled (#236) | Device keeps polling marge after migration but no `margeAccountUUID` was ever assigned, so all subsequent calls fail. | `:8090/info` shows `<margeAccountUUID/>` empty after reboot.                                                        |
+
+### 3.3 Required handling
+
+Per the user's brief, the migration logic must:
+
+1. **Probe** `GET http://<deviceIP>:8090/supportedURLs` and check whether
+   `/setMargeAccount` is in the list **before** trying to POST it.
+2. **Time-bound** the POST aggressively (e.g. ≤5s connect + ≤10s read) and treat
+   anything over the budget as a failure rather than waiting indefinitely.
+3. On either failure mode, **fall back** to the telnet equivalent
+   `envswitch accountid set <id>` over the same `pkg/telnet` connection used
+   for the URL flip. Reboot stays a user-initiated action (§6.2).
+4. If telnet:17000 is **also** unreachable, surface a clear "your firmware does
+   not support unattended pairing — please pair manually via the official Bose
+   app *before* it goes EOS, or open SSH and use the XML method" error rather
+   than leaving the device in a half-migrated state.
+
+### 3.4 Where the `<id>` comes from
+
+The device's current account ID is already discoverable through endpoints we
+control:
+
+- **`GET :8090/info`** returns `<margeAccountUUID>…</margeAccountUUID>`. If it
+  is non-empty the device is already paired — **reuse that ID**, do not
+  reassign. Our local marge accepts any ID, so the existing one is fine.
+- If it is empty (factory reset), the user picks one in the UI:
+  1. **Pick from existing accounts.** The setup UI lists IDs returned by
+     `DataStore.ListAccounts()` so a user can re-attach a fresh device to an
+     account that already has presets/recents/sources.
+  2. **Enter manually.** Free-form text input, validated as **exactly 7
+     numeric digits** (the format every Bose-cloud-issued ID has had in the
+     captures we've seen, and the format the wider community uses in their
+     recipes).
+  3. **Randomize.** A "Generate" button that picks a 7-digit number and
+     re-rolls if it collides with an existing account in the local datastore.
+- **Telnet read-back (best-effort).** `envswitch accountid get` is plausible by
+  symmetry with `envswitch accountid set` (#221) but is not yet confirmed
+  across firmwares. We will probe it during preflight; if it returns a value
+  we cross-check it against `:8090/info` and warn on mismatch.
+
+This means the user is never *forced* to invent a number — the common path is
+"the device already has an ID, reuse it" — and the manual/randomize controls
+only show up when the device is genuinely fresh.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Port 17000 availability
+
+The diagnostic shell is gated by firmware build and product family. Anecdotally:
+
+- ST 10 / ST 20 / ST 300 / Wave III / Wave IV on FW 27.0.6 → **open**.
+- SA-5 with FW 9.x → some commands present (`local_services on`) but
+  **no `remote_services on`** and no SSH on FW 9.0.43.23466 (#141).
+- Modern firmware on some Portables → endpoint set has shrunk further.
+
+Because of this, we cannot assume port 17000 is reachable. The migration flow
+must:
+
+1. **Probe** with a TCP connect to `<deviceIP>:17000`, with a tight timeout
+   (≤2s). A successful TCP handshake is necessary but not sufficient — some
+   hardened firmware closes the port immediately.
+2. **Banner check.** After connecting, read whatever the device sends within
+   ~1s. The diagnostic shell prints a small banner (firmware-dependent); a
+   blank read or an immediate close means we should treat it as "telnet not
+   usable" and disable the option.
+3. **Capability check.** Issue a no-op like `getpdo CurrentSystemConfiguration`
+   and look for any non-empty response. If the device replies "Command not
+   found" we abort and suggest XML or DNS instead.
+4. **Surface state to the UI.** The migration form should grey out the Telnet
+   option when the probe fails and show *why* (closed, banner missing,
+   command rejected) instead of letting the user click into a dead end.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Implementation feasibility — Telnet client in Go
+
+This is a feasibility check only; no code is written yet.
+
+### 5.1 Protocol
+
+"Telnet" on port 17000 is effectively a line-oriented plain-TCP shell. The
+device prints a small prompt (`->` in the SA-5 captures from #141) and reads
+newline-terminated commands. There is **no** real Telnet option negotiation
+(no `IAC`/`DO`/`WILL` exchanges visible in the wild captures), so we don't
+need `golang.org/x/crypto/ssh`-class machinery.
+
+### 5.2 Standard-library only
+
+A minimal client is just `net.DialTimeout("tcp", host+":17000", 2*time.Second)` +
+`bufio.Scanner` + `time.Time`-based deadlines on `Conn`. No third-party Telnet
+library is needed; `github.com/reiver/go-telnet` would be overkill and adds
+maintenance surface for no benefit. This matches the project's KISS principle
+in `docs/CLAUDE.md` §3.
+
+### 5.3 Cross-platform compatibility
+
+`net.Dial` over TCP works identically on Windows, macOS, Linux and (with
+limitations on listening) WASM. WASM-side: `soundtouch-service` runs server-side
+anyway, so this only matters for `soundtouch-cli`, where TCP dial works in any
+target other than browser-WASM — an acceptable carve-out documented separately.
+
+### 5.4 Concurrency / safety
+
+Each migration is a single goroutine driving one device. The client must:
+
+- enforce per-command response deadlines so a wedged device cannot stall the
+  migration UI (mirrors the `/setMargeAccount` requirement);
+- abort the rest of the sequence on the first non-`OK` response so we don't
+  half-write configuration;
+- always close the socket on error.
+
+### 5.5 Testing strategy
+
+We can test without a real speaker by spinning up a `net.Listen("tcp", "127.0.0.1:0")`
+in the test, scripting it to consume our commands and emit canned `OK`/error
+responses. That gives us deterministic coverage for:
+
+- happy path (all four URLs accepted),
+- single-command failure → sequence aborts, no further commands sent,
+- "command not found" on `envswitch …` → fallback path exercised,
+- TCP closed mid-stream → migration aborts cleanly,
+- read deadline triggers when the device hangs (the broken-state simulation).
+
+The repo already follows the "real device responses preferred, mock servers
+otherwise" rule (see `docs/CLAUDE.md` §1, §8). The tests above are the mock-server
+half of that pattern.
+
+### 5.6 Where it lives
+
+The protocol client is **a standalone package**, not buried inside
+`pkg/service/setup`, so it can be reused from CLI tools, future setup wizards,
+and tests without dragging the migration manager in:
+
+```
+pkg/telnet/                        # NEW reusable package
+  client.go                        #   Dial / SendCommand / Probe / Close
+  client_test.go                   #   mock-server tests against a net.Listen
+
+pkg/service/setup/
+  telnet_migration.go              # NEW thin wrapper that imports pkg/telnet
+                                   # and runs the URL config sequence
+  marge_pairing.go                 # NEW /setMargeAccount probe + post + telnet
+                                   # `envswitch accountid set` fallback
+  setup.go                         # add MigrationMethodTelnet const + case
+```
+
+UI plumbing is `pkg/service/handlers/web/index.html` (option list) and
+`pkg/service/handlers/web/js/script.js` (`toggleMigrationMethod()`). The
+deprecated `hosts` option is already hidden from the dropdown when we ship
+this; we just add a `telnet` option next to `xml`/`resolv`.
+
+### 5.7 Verdict
+
+**Feasible and small.** Estimated scope: ~200 lines of client code in
+`pkg/telnet`, ~300 lines of tests, plus a `MigrationMethodTelnet` branch in
+`Manager.MigrateSpeaker`, plus the preflight probe described in §4 and the
+`/setMargeAccount` guarding described in §3.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Decisions made (was: open questions)
+
+1. **Account-ID generation.** Resolved — see §3.4. The migration form reads
+   `:8090/info` first; if `margeAccountUUID` is non-empty it is reused.
+   Otherwise the UI offers (a) pick from `DataStore.ListAccounts()`,
+   (b) manual entry validated as 7 numeric digits, (c) a "Generate" button
+   that randomizes a 7-digit number and re-rolls on collision.
+2. **Reboot policy.** Migration writes configuration only — it does **not**
+   issue `sys reboot` itself. Reboot stays user-initiated via the existing
+   reboot button in the web UI, the same way XML/DNS migration already works.
+   That button's endpoint (`POST /setup/reboot/{deviceId}`,
+   `Manager.Reboot(deviceIP)`) gains an optional `?method=ssh|telnet` query
+   parameter; default stays `ssh` so existing behavior is preserved. The
+   button itself uses a plain `confirm()` dialog before firing.
+3. **CA / HTTPS story.** Telnet has no way to install a custom CA. Documented
+   as an explicit limitation: telnet method = HTTP-only redirect to our
+   service. Users who need end-to-end TLS must use the XML or DNS method.
+   *Possible future enhancement* — a hybrid "install CA via SSH/XML, then drive
+   the URL flip via Telnet" path. Feasibility unknown; not in this iteration.

+> **See §9 for the as-shipped state.** Section 7 below records the
+> original forecast; the wizard grew larger during implementation and
+> §9 documents what actually landed.
+
+## 7. Summary of what changes when this lands
+
+- **New reusable package `pkg/telnet`** — sibling of `pkg/ssh`, line-oriented
+  TCP client with `Dial`, `SendCommand`, `Probe`, `Close`, all deadline-driven.
+  No external dependencies, usable from CLI, service, and tests.
+- **New `MigrationMethodTelnet = "telnet"`** constant in `pkg/service/setup/setup.go`
+  plus a `migrateViaTelnet` branch in `Manager.MigrateSpeaker`.
+- **New `pkg/service/setup/telnet_migration.go`** orchestrating the URL
+  configuration sequence (§2.1) on top of `pkg/telnet`. Configuration only —
+  no `sys reboot` here.
+- **New `pkg/service/setup/marge_pairing.go`** with `PairAccount(deviceIP, id)`:
+  probes `/supportedURLs`, time-bounded `POST /setMargeAccount`, falls back to
+  telnet `envswitch accountid set <id>` on missing/wedged endpoint.
+- **`Manager.Reboot` and `HandleRebootDevice` gain a method selector** —
+  signature changes to `Reboot(deviceIP string, method RebootMethod) (string, error)`
+  with `RebootMethodSSH` (default, today's behavior) and `RebootMethodTelnet`
+  (sends `sys reboot` over a fresh `pkg/telnet` connection). Handler reads
+  `?method=ssh|telnet` from the query string.
+- **`MigrationSummary` gains** `TelnetReachable`, `TelnetBanner`,
+  `TelnetCommandsAccepted`, `SetMargeAccountSupported`, `CurrentAccountID`,
+  `KnownAccountIDs` so the UI can show preflight outcomes and offer reuse.
+- **UI** — `web/index.html` dropdown gets a `telnet` option (greyed out when
+  preflight fails) and a new pane for picking/entering/randomizing a 7-digit
+  account ID when `:8090/info` reports an empty `margeAccountUUID`. The
+  existing reboot button gets a method selector (radio or dropdown) wired to
+  the new query param, with `confirm()` before firing. The legacy `hosts`
+  option stays out of the dropdown (deprecated).
+

+
+## 8. Device compatibility today
+
+What follows is the current best read on which devices our `migrateViaTelnet`
+flow handles end-to-end, derived from the same six sources catalogued in
+[TELNET-COMMAND-REFERENCE.md](TELNET-COMMAND-REFERENCE.md) plus the issue
+threads cited above. This is migration-outcome perspective; for per-command
+availability see the reference doc.
+
+### 8.1 Proven to work end-to-end
+
+All on the firmware-27.0.6 family, which is what survived through Bose's
+end-of-service cut. Multi-reporter agreement on every row.
+
+| Device   | Reporter(s)                 | Source           | Confirmed                                                                  |
+|----------|-----------------------------|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| ST 10    | foob61451, TJGigs           | #221, #228       | All four URLs persist; `envswitch boseurls set` survives `sys reboot`      |
+| ST 20    | foob61451, mcdona1d, TJGigs | #221, #141, #228 | Same; multiple independent reports                                         |
+| ST 300   | mcdona1d                    | #141             | `sys configuration` + `envswitch` + `sys reboot` round-trip                |
+| Wave III | bveenker                    | #221             | URLs accepted; presets work after pairing fallback (§3)                    |
+| Wave IV  | stephan48                   | #221             | Port-17000 path **was the only one that worked** — USB-stick unlock failed |
+
+The exact sequence each reporter ran by hand is the sequence our migration
+sends (§2.1). So the migration's happy path is exercised against five
+hardware variants in independent captures.
+
+### 8.2 Proven to need the pairing fallback
+
+Migration of the URLs themselves works on these models, but
+`POST /setMargeAccount` is missing or wedged on the firmware build, so
+pairing has to go through the telnet `envswitch accountid set <id>` path
+that `setup.PairAccount` already implements.
+
+| Device                         | Reporter | Source                      | Why fallback is needed                                                                                                                                   |
+|--------------------------------|----------|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| ST Portable / FW 27.0.6        | jmosen   | #236                        | After migration: `POST /marge/streaming/support/power_on` → 502; `<margeAccountUUID/>` empty. Time-bounded HTTP path fails; envswitch fallback succeeds. |
+| BST20 Portable (factory reset) | ubittner | scheilch/opencloudtouch#167 | `<margeAccountUUID/>` empty; `/setMargeAccount` not in `/supportedURLs`. HTTP path skipped entirely; only the telnet fallback works.                     |
+
+### 8.3 Likely to fail (but the failure is clean)
+
+Our preflight + abort-on-first-rejection design (`TestMigrateViaTelnet_CommandNotFoundAborts`)
+means none of these scenarios leave a device half-configured. The user is
+told what failed and pointed to the XML or DNS method.
+
+| Device                                     | Source          | Likely cause                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
+|--------------------------------------------|-----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| **SA-5** (sound amplifier) on FW 9.0.43.x  | soundcork#141   | FW 9.x has a different shell generation: `->` prompt, `local_services on`, `scm uboot_ver`. **`sys configuration` and `envswitch` are not documented as working there.** Migration fails on command #1.                                  |
+| **Recent ST Portable** (post-27.0.6.46330) | #236 (indirect) | `/setMargeAccount` removal points to broader command-set shrinkage. If `envswitch accountid set` is also gone, both migration and pairing fallback fail; user is told to pair via the official Bose app before EOS, or use XML over SSH. |
+
+### 8.4 Unknown — would benefit from real-device verification
+
+| Device                     | Why unknown                                                         | What we'd want to confirm                                                |
+|----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| **ST 30** (`mojo`)         | No concrete capture in any of the six sources                       | Almost certainly works — same FW family as ST 10/20/300 — but unverified |
+| **ST 520 / Home Cinema**   | USB-unlock reports failing (#141), no port-17000 capture either way | Whether `sys configuration` and `envswitch` are exposed at all           |
+| **Wave Music System I/II** | `flarn2006`-era hardware, not seen in 27.x reports                  | Whether port 17000 is even open on those models                          |
+
+### 8.5 The S5 "valid roots" tension
+
+S5 (the r/bose telnet-probing thread) lists only `key`, `net`, `sys`,
+`getpdo` as command roots that don't return "Command not found" on its
+ST 10 / FW 27.0.6 — which would seem to rule out `envswitch`. But foob61451
+on the same hardware/firmware ran `envswitch boseurls set` successfully
+(#221).
+
+The most plausible reading is that **S5 is a non-exhaustive probe**, not a
+negative claim: the author writes "I've made some educated guesses and come
+up with the following valid commands" and never says they tested
+`envswitch`. We do not down-weight `envswitch` availability on the strength
+of S5 alone — but if a real-device run ever shows `envswitch` rejected on
+an ST 10, our preflight catches it, the migration aborts on the first
+non-OK response, and the user gets a clear error rather than partial state.
+
+### 8.6 Failure-mode matrix
+
+What `migrateViaTelnet` does in each failure mode (verified by
+`pkg/telnet` and `pkg/service/setup` unit tests):
+
+| Failure                                        | Outcome                                                                                           | Test                                                                                                               |

+### 8.7 TL;DR
+
+- **Green light** — ST 10, ST 20, ST 300, Wave III, Wave IV on FW 27.0.6 (multi-reporter agreement).
+- **Yellow** — ST Portable and BST20 Portable: migration works, pairing needs our fallback (already implemented).
+- **Red, but fails cleanly** — SA-5 on FW 9.x, possibly newer ST Portable builds.
+- **Unverified but expected to work** — ST 30, ST 520, Wave Music System I/II.
+
+The most useful next verification step is touching a real ST 30 and ST 520
+— those are the two "expected to work" models with zero concrete captures.
+Beyond that, every behaviour the doc predicts is exercised by the unit
+tests in `pkg/telnet` and `pkg/service/setup`.
+
+---
+
+## 9. What actually shipped (post-implementation addendum)
+
+§7 forecast the surface area roughly; the wizard ended up larger. This
+section is the present-day map of the migration tab and the supporting
+backend pieces — kept appended rather than rewritten in place so the
+feasibility analysis above stays a faithful design record.
+
+### 9.1 Three-axis state model
+
+`MigrationSummary` now exposes the four mechanism-specific booleans
+that `checkIsMigrated` writes individually:
+
+- `XMLMigrated` — parsed SoundTouchSdkPrivateCfg.xml's URLs point at us.
+- `HostsMigrated` — `/etc/hosts` carries Bose-domain redirects (the
+  deprecated method, kept detectable for legacy speakers).
+- `ResolvMigrated` — the `/etc/resolv.conf` priority-nameserver hook
+  is in place (with CA trusted).
+- `TelnetMigrated` — `getpdo CurrentSystemConfiguration` reports the
+  service hostname.
+
+`IsMigrated` is the OR. Plus `IsPaired` from the live
+`:8090/info.margeAccountUUID` value.
+
+The frontend opens with a state card that surfaces three orthogonal
+axes derived from these flags:
+
+| Axis              | Verdict semantics                                                                                                     |
+|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| URL Configuration | URL flip active → ✅; original Bose URLs + DNS hook active → ✅ (intercepted); original + no DNS → ❌ (not intercepted). |
+| DNS Interception  | None / resolv.conf hook / /etc/hosts (with deprecated badge).                                                         |
+| CA / TLS          | Local root CA installed yes/no.                                                                                       |
+
+Plus a Preconditions row: `remote_services` persistence, account
+pairing state, XML config backup presence. Action affordances
+(`Trust CA Now`, `Download CA cert`) live inline next to their verdicts.
+
+### 9.2 Plan card with per-field URL editor
+
+Replaces the XML method's `self/proxied/original` dropdowns and the
+duplicate URL inputs that used to live inside the telnet method pane:
+
+- Target service URL input with `Save as default` (POSTs to
+  `/setup/settings`, preserving the `***` secret-unchanged convention).
+- Capabilities header: detected transports (SSH / Telnet:17000) and
+  the recipes AfterTouch can offer given those transports.
+- Service URLs table: four free-form URL inputs (Marge / Stats /
+  SwUpdate / BmxRegistry) with on-keystroke validation
+  (`validatePlanURLs`), a Soundcork-mode checkbox that flips `/marge`
+  on `margeServerUrl`, and a `Reset to defaults` button.
+- Account pairing section: ID input + Generate + datastore picker;
+  the implicit intent (`readPlanPairTarget`) queues a pair step at
+  Apply when the input differs from the current `account_id`.
+- Suggested plan box: one-click conservative default — XML + HTTP
+  when SSH works, Telnet + HTTP otherwise; "Already migrated" info
+  state when `IsMigrated` is already true.
+
+The per-field URLs feed both XML and Telnet migrations via the
+`marge_url` / `stats_url` / `sw_update_url` / `bmx_url` option family
+(see §9.6). Live preview rewrites `#planned-config` purely client-side
+on every keystroke — optimistic; the backend's perspective gates the
+write via §9.4's pre-flight.
+
+### 9.3 Customize three-axis form
+
+The `<details>` "Customize this migration" section replaces the old
+migration-method dropdown with three independent radio groups:
+
+1. **URL flip transport**: XML / Telnet:17000 / Skip.
+2. **DNS interception**: None / `/etc/resolv.conf` hook.
+3. **Local CA install**: checkbox.
+
+Each option carries a per-axis availability hint
+(`(SSH unreachable)`, `(already trusted)`, etc.) so users see *why*
+an option is disabled. `applyCustomPlan` orchestrates the chosen
+combination as a sequence of existing backend calls
+(`/setup/migrate?method=…` for each flip/resolv step plus
+`/setup/trust-ca` for standalone CA install, and the queued pair
+step from §9.2). Resolv already bundles a CA install, so a redundant
+standalone CA step is skipped. First failure aborts the rest.
+
+### 9.4 Pre-flight panel
+
+Both Apply paths run a visible pre-flight panel before any backend
+operation touches the speaker. Each check renders inline with the
+🕐 / ⟳ / ✅ / ❌ / — idiom. On all-green the panel holds for ~700ms so
+the success state registers, then auto-proceeds. On any failure the
+panel surfaces `Proceed Anyway` / `Cancel` buttons; default is to
+abort.
+
+Checks:
+
+| Check                                 | When                                                       | Backend route                  |
+|---------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
+| Backend summary re-check              | always                                                     | `GET /setup/summary`           |
+| HTTPS connection from device          | `ssh_success && server_https_url`                          | `POST /setup/test-connection`  |
+| Reachability check (passive observer) | `telnet_reachable && is_migrated` (see §9.8)               | `POST /setup/peer-probe`       |
+| Round-trip skip explainer             | `telnet_reachable && !is_migrated` — runs after reboot     | _none_ (UI-side skip row)      |
+| DNS redirection from device           | `methods.includes("resolv") && ssh_success`                | `POST /setup/test-dns`         |
+
+The HTTPS check uses `use_explicit_ca=true` so it exercises the trust
+path even when CA install is part of the plan (i.e. forward-looking).
+The reachability skip row is explicit ("neither SSH nor Telnet:17000
+is reachable") rather than silently dropped, per the user's
+"feedback always visible" requirement.
+
+### 9.5 Telnet round-trip probe — the SSH-less reachability check
+
+> **REMOVED — see §9.8.** Empirical testing showed the swUpdate
+> daemon caches its target URL at boot and ignores live config
+> writes, so the active flip described below could never reach the
+> running daemon. The section is retained as a historical record of
+> what was tried; the running code uses the passive observer in §9.8.
+
+The reachability gap §7 left open for USB-unlock-refusing speakers is
+closed by `Manager.RunTelnetRoundTripProbe`
+(`pkg/service/setup/telnet_probe.go`). Sequence:
+
+1. Telnet `getpdo CurrentSystemConfiguration` to capture the
+   speaker's current `swUpdateUrl`.
+2. Generate a random 24-hex-char token; register a one-shot signal
+   channel under it on the new `probeRegistry` (sibling field on
+   `handlers.Server`).
+3. Telnet `sys configuration swUpdateUrl <targetURL>/probe/<token>`
+   — **runtime layer only, deliberately not `envswitch boseurls set
+   …`**. The persistence layer keeps the original URL, so a reboot
+   heals the device naturally if our restore step fails.
+4. `HTTP GET <deviceIP>:8090/swUpdateCheck` — the cleanest
+   `:8090` endpoint that triggers exactly one outbound to the
+   configured `swUpdateUrl`. Read-only on the cloud side
+   (doesn't initiate an update); independent of `margeAccountUUID`
+   so it works on factory-reset speakers.
+5. Wait on the registered channel up to `telnetProbeTimeout` (6s).
+6. Telnet `sys configuration swUpdateUrl <originalURL>` — deferred
+   restore so it runs even on the failure path.
+
+The new `/probe/{token}[/*]` catch-all on the root router signals the
+matching channel when the speaker's outbound lands. The response is
+a minimal `<swUpdateIndex/>` so the speaker's `swUpdateCheck`
+doesn't choke on a missing structure. The `/*` sub-path is
+registered because some firmware appends a path component to the
+configured `swUpdateUrl`.
+

+
+### 9.7 Future probe candidates
+
+- `:8090/pushCustomerSupportInfoToMarge` — flagged as a potential
+  "ask the device about itself" probe that could feed a richer
+  device-info pane (firmware build dates, hardware revisions). Not
+  implemented.
+- Running the round-trip probe on SSH-capable speakers too (as
+  additional validation alongside the curl-from-device HTTPS test),
+  not just as the SSH-less fallback it is today. **Subsumed by §9.8
+  — the round-trip probe is being removed; the passive observer is
+  transport-agnostic and replaces it for migrated speakers.**
+
+### 9.8 The swUpdate daemon-cache finding and removal of §9.5
+
+The §9.5 round-trip probe was retired after empirical testing on a
+fully-migrated speaker (FW 27.0.6) revealed that the `swUpdate`
+daemon **caches its target URL at boot and ignores live config
+writes**. The diagnostic sequence:
+
+1. Manual telnet flip of both layers — `sys configuration swUpdateUrl
+   <probe-url>` (runtime) **and** `envswitch boseurls set <marge>
+   <probe-url>` (persistence). `getpdo CurrentSystemConfiguration`
+   confirmed both writes stuck.
+2. HTTP GET `:8090/swUpdateCheck` to trigger fan-out.
+3. Service access log showed the device outbound landed on
+   `/updates/soundtouch` (the **previous** `swUpdateUrl` value, current
+   at the last daemon boot) and `/streaming/software/update/account/<id>`
+   (a separate Bose URL the daemon hits, routed to this service by DNS
+   interception). The probe URL was never dialed.
+
+This falsifies the original NEXT.md hypothesis that the persistence
+layer would override the runtime layer for the daemon's fan-out, and
+points instead at daemon-level URL caching. Two consequences:
+
+- **The §9.5 probe cannot work on migrated speakers without a
+  reboot.** The cached URL is set when the daemon starts; flipping
+  config after that point has no effect on what the daemon dials.
+- **The §9.5 probe likely cannot work on unmigrated speakers
+  either**, for the same reason — the daemon caches whatever URL it
+  read at startup, which on an unmigrated speaker is the Bose cloud
+  URL. We have no service running with the probe URL registered on
+  unmigrated speakers, so the original "it worked in testing" claim
+  has no empirical basis; it likely failed silently because nothing
+  was watching.
+
+The honest replacement is a **passive observer** (see
+`pkg/service/setup/peer_probe.go`):
+
+1. Register the device IP with an in-process observer
+   (`handlers.peerObserver`, wired via `PeerObserverMiddleware`).
+2. Nudge `:8090/swUpdateCheck` to make the daemon fan out *something*
+   sooner than its ~5min timer.
+3. Wait up to 30s for any inbound from that IP. On a migrated
+   speaker, DNS interception means the daemon's outbounds (update
+   fan-out, marge polls, BMX registry calls) all funnel through this
+   service regardless of which URL the daemon resolved internally —
+   so reachability reduces to *"did the device dial us at all."*
+
+Endpoint: `POST /setup/peer-probe/{deviceId}`. No device-state
+mutation; safe to re-run. Returns `{ok, result: {reached,
+observed_path, elapsed_ms}, error}` with the same UI keying as the
+old probe (`result.reached`).
+
+#### 9.8.1 The pre-flight panel branch
+
+The web UI's pre-flight orchestrator (`runApplyPreflight` in
+`script.js`) branches on `summary.is_migrated`:
+
+| Migration state                   | Reachability row                                                                                                             |
+|-----------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Migrated (`is_migrated=true`)     | "Reachability check (passive observer)" — calls `POST /setup/peer-probe/{deviceId}`.                                         |
+| Not migrated (incl. partial)      | Skip row "Round-trip validation runs after Apply + reboot" with the rationale "daemon caches swUpdateUrl at boot".           |
+
+Per-axis booleans (`xml_migrated`, `hosts_migrated`, `resolv_migrated`,
+`telnet_migrated`) remain visible in the State card, so the user can
+see which parts of the migration are already in place even when the
+overall flag is false. The skip row does not attempt the active probe
+on unmigrated speakers — the canonical telnet flow is:
+
+```
+Apply telnet config → user-initiated reboot → re-run pre-flight on
+the now-migrated speaker → passive observer confirms fan-out.
+```
+
+#### 9.8.2 Removal trail
+
+Removed (or scheduled for removal in a follow-up commit) at the time
+of §9.8 landing:
+
+- `pkg/service/setup/telnet_probe.go` — `RunTelnetRoundTripProbe`,
+  `ProbeRegistrar`, `TelnetProbeResult`, `generateProbeToken`.
+- `pkg/service/handlers/handlers_telnet_probe.go` — `HandleTelnetProbe`,

+- The `target_url` query-param plumbing on the deprecated endpoint.
+- `script.js` — `checkTelnetRoundTrip` (orchestrator call site removed
+  in the commit that added the branch; function itself removed later).

+- **Migration State** — three orthogonal axes:
+  - *URL Configuration* — original Bose URLs or AfterTouch URLs (with a special "intercepted via DNS" verdict when the resolv.conf hook is doing the redirect).
+  - *DNS Interception* — none, or `/etc/resolv.conf` hook active.
+  - *CA / TLS* — local root CA installed on the device, with `Trust CA Now` and `Download CA cert` actions inline.
+- **Preconditions** — `remote_services` persistence, account pairing state, and XML config backup presence.

-The web UI guides you through:
-1. Previewing the config change (current vs. planned XML)
-2. Optionally installing the AfterTouch CA certificate on the speaker (requires SSH; needed for HTTPS)
-3. Applying the XML redirect
-4. Verifying the speaker can reach the local service
+### The Plan card — the happy path

-### DNS/DHCP redirect (recommended for permanent / all-device setup)
+Below the state card is the **Plan** card. For most users this is the only thing you'll touch:

-Configures the speaker to use a custom DNS server that resolves Bose cloud hostnames to the local service. This is the most robust method — it covers all Bose endpoints automatically and survives reboots.
+1. **Target service URL** — pre-filled from your Settings. Edit inline and click *Save as default* to update Settings without bouncing tabs.
+2. **Capabilities** — what transports the speaker exposes and what AfterTouch can offer given those.
+3. **Service URLs** — four URL inputs (margeServerUrl, statsServerUrl, swUpdateUrl, bmxRegistryUrl) pre-filled with canonical defaults. Most users leave them as-is; soundcork users tick the *Soundcork mode* checkbox to append `/marge` to `margeServerUrl`. URL validation runs on every keystroke.
+4. **Account pairing** — pre-filled with the speaker's current account ID. Leave it to keep the existing pairing, change it to re-pair, or click *Generate* to assign a new 7-digit ID on a factory-reset device.
+5. **Suggested plan** — one big green button: *Apply Suggested Plan*. The wizard picks the most conservative recipe for your speaker (XML over SSH with HTTP when SSH works; telnet URL flip with HTTP when only telnet works) and runs it.

-Requirements:
- The AfterTouch DNS server must be running and bound to **port 53** on your network. Enable it in the **Settings** tab (`DNS Discovery` → enabled).
- HTTPS is required. The web UI walks you through trusting the CA certificate on the speaker (via SSH).
+### What happens when you click Apply

-The web UI guides you through:
-1. Verifying the DNS server is running and reachable
-2. Installing the CA certificate on the speaker
-3. Configuring the speaker to use the AfterTouch DNS server
-4. Verifying DNS resolution and HTTPS connectivity
+The wizard switches to a visible **Pre-flight checks** panel and runs every applicable verification before touching the speaker:
+
+- **Backend summary re-check** — confirms transports, hostname resolution, and that the URLs you plan to write match what the backend would produce.
+- **HTTPS connection from device** (SSH-capable speakers) — uploads a temporary CA and runs `curl` from the speaker to your service.
+- **Reachability check (passive observer)** (already-migrated speakers) — nudges `:8090/swUpdateCheck` on the device and watches for *any* request from the speaker to land on the service. Used when the speaker is already migrated and the service is the natural target of its outbounds.
+- **"Round-trip validation runs after Apply + reboot"** (not-yet-migrated speakers) — surfaced as a skip row with a rationale. The speaker's swUpdate daemon caches its URL at boot, so there is no useful no-reboot round-trip check pre-migration; the canonical telnet flow is Apply → reboot → re-run pre-flight on the migrated speaker.
+- **DNS redirection from device** — when DNS interception is part of the plan.
+
+On all-green, the wizard auto-proceeds. On any failure, it pauses with *Proceed Anyway* / *Cancel* buttons so you can override on a known-false-positive (slow DNS, etc.) or fix the underlying issue and retry.
+
+### Customize this migration — for mix-and-match
+
+Expand the `▸ Customize this migration` section to pick any combination of three independent axes:
+
+- **URL flip transport** — XML over SSH / Telnet (Port 17000) / Skip
+- **DNS interception** — None / `/etc/resolv.conf` hook
+- **Local CA install** — checkbox (SSH-only)
+
+Each option carries a per-axis availability hint (e.g. *(SSH unreachable)*, *(already trusted)*) so you see why an option is disabled before you pick. *Apply Custom Plan* runs the chosen combination as a sequence; the same pre-flight panel gates the execution.
+
+> **Note**: DNS interception bundles the CA install on the backend, so a standalone CA-install step is skipped automatically when DNS is part of the plan. The wizard handles this for you.

-After migration, **power-cycle the speaker** (unplug and replug). This applies all configuration changes.
+After a successful Apply the wizard auto-expands the Customize section and highlights the **Reboot Speaker** button.

+**Precedence**: `*_url` overrides win over the `marge / stats / sw_update / bmx` mode selectors.

So if you send both `marge=proxied&marge_url=http://x:8000/marge`, the literal `http://x:8000/marge` is written.
+
+**Soundcork redirect**: append `/marge` to `marge_url`. The telnet method derives `envswitch boseurls set <margeServerUrl> <swUpdateUrl>` from the final URLs verbatim, so the suffix propagates to the parallel persistence layer automatically — no separate flag needed.
+
+**Examples**:
+
+```bash
+# Canonical XML migration over SSH to the default service URL
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/setup/migrate/192.168.1.100?method=xml"

+
+# DNS interception (writes /etc/resolv.conf hook + installs CA) — *_url overrides are ignored
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/setup/migrate/192.168.1.100?method=resolv&target_url=https://my-server.com:8443"
+```
+
+#### `POST /setup/telnet-probe/{deviceIP}`
+SSH-less reachability check. Temporarily flips the speaker's `swUpdateUrl` via the port-17000 diagnostic shell, triggers `:8090/swUpdateCheck` on the device, and observes whether the resulting outbound lands on this service's `/probe/{token}` handler within 6 s. Always attempts to restore the original `swUpdateUrl` even on failure.
+
+**Query Parameters:**
+- `target_url` (optional): defaults to the service's configured `ServerURL`. The probe URL written to the device is `<target_url>/probe/<token>`.
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "ok": true,
+  "result": {
+    "reached": true,
+    "restored": true,

+    "elapsed_ms": 412,
+    "logs": "…"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`reached=true` means the device's outbound landed on our `/probe/{token}` route within the timeout. `restored=true` means the runtime `swUpdateUrl` was reverted to its captured original (the envswitch persistence layer is left untouched throughout, so a reboot heals the device naturally if our restore step fails).
+
+#### `GET /probe/{token}[/*]`
+Catch-all endpoint that signals the matching pre-flight probe channel. Used internally by `/setup/telnet-probe/{deviceIP}`; not intended to be called directly by API consumers. Returns a minimal `<swUpdateIndex/>` XML so the device's `swUpdateCheck` doesn't choke on a missing structure.

+## 🌐 **Hostname Resolution** {#hostname-resolution}
+
+### Why the service resolves the hostname from the device
+
+When you migrate a speaker using the resolv.conf method, the service needs to write a raw IP address into the speaker's network configuration. That IP must be the address the *speaker itself* can reach — which is not necessarily the same address your computer resolves.
+
+In environments with NAT, split-horizon DNS, or Docker/container networking, `soundtouch.local` (or whatever you set as `SERVER_URL`) may resolve to a different IP depending on who is asking. The service therefore resolves the hostname by running `ping -c 1 <hostname>` over SSH on the speaker and extracting the IP from the output. This is the authoritative result: it is exactly what the speaker would use.
+
+If that SSH ping fails, migration is aborted. Writing an unresolvable or incorrectly resolved hostname into `aftertouch.resolv.conf` would silently break the speaker's DNS config and prevent it from reaching the service after reboot.
+
+**The XML migration method is different.** It writes the full URL (e.g. `http://soundtouch.local:8000`) into `SoundTouchSdkPrivateCfg.xml`. The speaker resolves the hostname at connect time, not at migration time. This means migration can proceed even if the hostname is not yet reachable — for example, when the service will be deployed under that hostname but is not running yet. A warning is still shown in the UI so you are aware, but the Confirm Migration button remains enabled.
+
+### ❌ "Cannot resolve target hostname for migration"
+
+**Symptoms** (migration log or web UI warning):
+```
+cannot resolve target hostname for migration: cannot resolve "soundtouch.local":
+SSH ping from device failed and service-side DNS lookup also failed
+```
+or:
+```
+resolved "soundtouch.local" to 192.168.1.100 from service, not from device —
+result may be wrong if NAT or split-DNS is in use
+```
+
+**What this means:**
+
+The service could not confirm the IP by running `ping` on the speaker via SSH. Either:
+- the `ping` binary is not available or not in `$PATH` on this firmware, or
+- the hostname is not resolvable from the speaker's network context.
+
+**Diagnosis — run manually over SSH:**
+
+```bash
+# SSH into the speaker
+ssh root@<speaker-ip>
+
+# Try to resolve the service hostname
+ping -c 1 soundtouch.local
+# or use the IP directly to verify connectivity
+ping -c 1 192.168.1.100
+
+# Check the speaker's current DNS config
+cat /etc/resolv.conf
+
+# Check if ping is available
+which ping
+busybox ping --help
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+#### 1. Use an IP address as SERVER_URL
+
+The most reliable fix. If the hostname cannot be resolved from the device, use a raw IP instead. Resolution is skipped entirely when `SERVER_URL` contains an IP.
+
+```bash
+# In your .env
+SERVER_URL=http://192.168.1.100:8000
+HTTPS_SERVER_URL=https://192.168.1.100:8443
+```
+
+HTTPS works correctly with IP addresses — the service certificate includes the IP as a Subject Alternative Name (SAN).
+
+#### 2. Ensure the hostname resolves on the speaker's network segment
+
+If you use `soundtouch.local`, verify mDNS is working from another device on the same subnet:
+
+```bash
+avahi-resolve -n soundtouch.local    # Linux
+dns-sd -G v4 soundtouch.local        # macOS
+```
+
+#### 3. Use the XML migration method
+
+Select the XML method in the migration UI. It writes the full URL and the speaker resolves it at connect time, so hostname resolution is not required during migration. This also allows migrating to a hostname that is not yet live.

+//     against an account that has no Sources.xml yet.
