• Field test: iw scan can HANG in AP mode and wedge the server via the scan lock; fixed with subprocess timeout + scan dump/last-good fallback (plus earlier serialize+debounce) — pi5-scan-while-ap-mode
• Field test: iOS kCLError on hunter page is a Core Location no-fix (not a cert/permission issue); prime via Apple Maps + go outside — wifi-hunter
• Deployment: systemd wifi-hunter.service (PATH set so iw resolves) + hotspot autoconnect; survives reboot in ~15 s; ssh-over-eth0 and pkill self-match gotchas — wifi-hunter
• Initialized project: RPi 5 + iPhone WiFi transmitter hunter, HTTPS server + plane-fit direction arrow — wifi-hunter
• Verified Pi 5 built-in WiFi scans the full band while hosting an AP; no USB dongle needed — pi5-scan-while-ap-mode
