 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [3.36.0] — 2026-10-23
+
+### Added
+
+- The batch **"waiting for the next card"** state is now a deliberate cue: the status
+  modal shows a card-into-reader animation next to the prompt, a short chime sounds
+  **once per card** when the run enters the waiting phase (Web Audio — no audio asset;
+  edge-triggered in the 2 s poll, so it does not repeat), and while the tab is hidden the
+  title hints "Insert next card".  The speaker button next to the status mutes the chime
+  and the choice is remembered (`simple_ram_batch_sound`); the chime is unlocked by the
+  Start click (browser autoplay policy); reduced-motion users get the static card-above-
+  the-slot picture.  The card follows the app's SIM silhouette (`sim.svg`): a cut corner
+  at the top and the contact pad near the bottom edge, sliding behind the reader bar.
+
+### Changed
+
+- A **batch delete that finds the object already gone** is still a success — the goal is met
+  and the run continues — but it is no longer reported as a plain "OK": the attempt's verdict
+  reads **Already absent**, the delete run's counts separate real deletions from no-ops
+  (`Deleted: N · Already absent: M`), and the notice says the card was already absent.  The
+  counts gain an `already_absent` bucket (the attempt result is `already_absent`); a
+  reinstall's tolerated pre-delete is *not* affected — its outcome is still the install.
+- The READMEs link the project's news channel: [Telegram — @youeyeseesee](https://t.me/youeyeseesee).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The prebuilt `style.css` had gone stale: a rebuild restored utility classes the UI
+  already used but the output lacked (e.g. `bg-blue-50` on the batch notice, `inline-flex`,
+  `mx-2`, `max-h-48`, `w-44`, `min-w-24`).
+
+## [3.35.0] — 2026-10-23
+
+### Added
+
+- **EF.SMSP decoded editor** — the full SMS-parameter form (TS 31.102 §4.2.27): alpha,
+  TP-Destination Address and TS-Service Centre Address (each with its own length
+  convention and a TON select; an empty SCA means the default SMSC), TP-PID, TP-DCS and
+  the relative TP-VP — every parameter with an *absent (the ME default applies)* toggle.
+  Live hints decode the DCS (TS 23.038 §4: coding group, alphabet, class, compression,
+  message-waiting) and the relative validity period (TS 23.040 §9.2.3.12.1).  Unchanged
+  parameters keep their exact bytes (a card quirk such as a DCS marked absent with byte
+  `00` survives), alphanumeric TON addresses are preserved read-only, and all checked
+  records are validated before anything is written.
+- **Edit decoded, wave 2** — new editors for the service tables **EF.UST / EF.IST /
+  EF.EST** (a filterable bit grid preserving services the table does not model), the
+  scalars **EF.ACC**, **EF.PHASE**, **EF.HPPLMN** and **EF.AD**, the PLMN lists
+  **EF.PLMNsel / EF.FPLMN / EF.EHPLMN**, the identities **EF.ICCID / EF.IMSI** (behind a
+  confirmation — writing them changes the card identity) and the cell-broadcast lists
+  **EF.CBMI / EF.CBMID / EF.CBMIR**.  **EF.SST** is deliberately left read-only: its
+  SIM layout is 2 bits per service (allocated + activated), which needs its own editor.
+- The file-format survey (`docs/decoded-editing.md`) now records the shipped waves and
+  marks **EF.DIR / EF.ARR / EF.SMS / EF.PBR** as postponed by decision (read-only).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `efDecSmsp` mapped the parameter indicators shifted (SCA on bit 5, PID on bit 2, DCS
+  on bit 3, VP on bit 4); the spec order is DA/SCA/PID/DCS/VP on bits 1–5 with bits 6–8
+  reserved — a record with a mixed indicator (e.g. `E9`) showed DCS and hid VP.
+- The read-only EF.SMSP view decoded the TP-DA length as octets, although it is the digit
+  count (TS 23.040 §9.1.2.5); a slot padded with `00` gained phantom digits.
+- The **Read decoded** pill no longer looks disabled when it is enabled: an inactive-but-
+  enabled pill is now an outlined button (blue on white/slate), and the grey fill and
+  dimming are left to the actually disabled state.
+- **EF.ACC** class numbering (TS 31.102 4.2.15): byte 1 b8…b1 codes classes 15…8 and
+  byte 2 classes 7…0 — the decoder counted class 0 at the MSB (an all-FF ACC read as
+  class 0 instead of classes 0–15).
+- **EF.AD** (TS 31.102 4.2.18): the operation mode is a whole-byte enum
+  (00/80/01/81/02/04), not bits 0-1 plus a test bit; the MNC length may be 0 (service
+  n°130 available) or absent (3-byte SIM form) — the editor previously refused both.
+- **EF.SST** (TS 51.011 10.3.7): the SIM service table is decoded with its 2-bits-per-
+  service layout (allocated + activated) instead of the UST 1-bit codec.
+- **EF.IMSI**: the parity/type nibble is `9` for an odd digit count and `1` for an even
+  one (TS 24.008 10.5.1.4); the encoder always wrote `9`.
+- Saving a PLMN/CB list with no edits no longer rewrites it as all-FF (the collected rows
+  and the list encoders disagreed on the value shape).
+
+## [3.33.0] — 2026-10-23
+
+### Added
+
+- **Edit decoded** in the file manager: a file is read raw, decoded into its own editable
+  form, re-encoded in the browser and written through the normal update path.  The first
+  wave covers **EF.SPN**, **EF.PLMNwAcT / EF.OPLMNwAcT / EF.HPLMNwAcT**, the dialling-number
+  files **EF.ADN / EF.FDN / EF.SDN / EF.MSISDN / EF.LND / EF.BDN** and **EF.PNN**.  Shapes:
+  a flat transparent form (SPN), a transparent list editor with add/remove rows (PLMN+ACT),
+  per-record forms with a selection checkbox that is auto-checked when a field changes
+  (dialling numbers, PNN) and per-record TLV item rows with add/remove/edit (PNN's full and
+  short names plus the PLMN additional information).  All checked records are encoded and
+  validated before anything is written; unchanged fields, record lengths, extension
+  pointers (EF.EXT1–EXT5), the BDN comparison-method byte and unknown PNN TLVs are
+  preserved, and an edit that would break a reference (a number continued in an extension
+  file, a dropped mandatory PNN full name) is refused.
+- `docs/decoded-editing.md`: the file-format survey behind the design (every known EF
+  classified by structure/coding into the editor's shapes S0–S10, with the release waves).
+
+### Removed
+
+- The file manager's decoded view no longer carries the collapsed **pySim JSON (server)**
+  disclosure — the view is the client-side EF decoder's table only.  The disclosure was an
+  unrelated *second* decode: opening it issued another `/api/read` with `mode: 'decoded'`
+  to run pySim's `read_binary_decoded`/`read_records_decoded`, and it was reachable only
+  when our decoder covered the file (`Read decoded` is decoder-gated), so the one case
+  where a second opinion would matter — a file our decoders do not cover — never offered
+  it.  `/api/read` keeps `mode: 'decoded'` for API callers; the help, READMEs and project
+  notes say the decoded table is built in the browser from the same raw bytes.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **EF.BDN** decodes and encodes with its own `X+15` layout (the trailing Comparison Method
+  Pointer); the shared ADN codec had treated it as `X+14`.
+- `efPlmnAct` decoded the EC-GSM-IoT-only ACT (`b8=1,b4=1,b3=0`, `0x0088`) as nothing while
+  checking the impossible `0x0086` (TS 31.102 Table 4.2.5.2).
+- PNN network names: the decoder now trusts a non-zero spare-bit count before the
+  "all bytes < 0x80 → uncompressed" heuristic, so a valid packed name can no longer be
+  misread (and later written back wrong).
+- `/api/write` and `/api/read` report a cmd2 exception in the captured output as a failure
+  instead of `success: true` with `SW: 9000`.
+- The empty amber **preset-mismatch banner** no longer flashes on the SCP80/RAM view.
+  `ramOpChanged()` (v3.28.0) un-hid `#ram-preset-warning` by the operation kind, but the
+  banner's text *and* visibility belong to `spPresetWarningRender()` (which also handles
+  the batch suppression): with no warning text the empty bordered box stayed visible until
+  the next status poll re-hid it — on every RAM view and operation switch.  The visibility
+  is content-driven again; `frontend/tests/ram.test.js` pins it (the pre-fix code fails
+  the test).
+
+## [3.32.5] — 2026-10-21
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A card removed during the **startup initialization** no longer leaves the server
+  reporting a phantom equipped card.  The init caught the PC/SC error (and printed a
+  traceback) but kept the card object it had already built, so `card_present` and
+  `_CARD_CONNECTED` stayed True — and the auto-equip then skipped every later insertion
+  (its `_CARD_CONNECTED` early return), leaving only a manual Equip or a restart.  A
+  PC/SC error now prints one line (`INIT: card removed during initialization …`), drops
+  the half-initialized session and lets the presence monitor equip the next card.
+
+## [3.32.4] — 2026-10-21
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The auto-equip's captured traceback now always includes the **exception line**: cmd2
+  renders a rich-box traceback longer than the logged head, so the actual error was cut
+  off.  The tail is appended after a `...` marker; the "releasing the old link failed"
+  message now says it continues with a fresh link (a removed card's dead PC/SC handle
+  always fails to disconnect).
+- A card insertion now marks the PC/SC link for a rebuild, so the **first** auto-equip
+  attempt already uses a fresh link.  On Windows the old link cannot connect after a
+  swap — v3.32.2 recovered it, but only on the second attempt, after a failed init, a
+  2–4 s delay and a traceback in the log.  A link created at a cardless startup has
+  never connected either, which the same mark covers.  The rebuild still runs in the
+  equip worker (never in the pyscard monitor thread) and `_ensure_transport` releases
+  the old link first.
+
+## [3.32.2] — 2026-10-21
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **The auto-equip loop after a card swap on Windows.** A failed initialization with
+  the card still present was reported as "card gone during initialization" and treated
+  as a no-op success — so the three retries never ran and the watchdog re-armed every
+  few seconds forever.  It is a failure now, and **every failed attempt marks the
+  PC/SC transport for a rebuild**, so the retry starts from a fresh link (the release
+  of the old link happens first, so it cannot inherit a stale card handle).  The error
+  pySim swallowed is printed as `AUTO-EQUIP: init output:` with its traceback.
+
+## [3.32.1] — 2026-10-21
+
+### Added
+
+- **"Start counter value"** in the outfile import: the counter every created keyset
+  starts from.  It defaults to the store's value (`1`); raise it for cards whose
+  counters are already past it.  The API takes `start_counter` (1–10 hex digits;
+  a bad value is a 400), and the preview carries the value.

+name / PLMN / address coding), TS 102 221 (file structure / Annex A text).
+pySim is a cross-check only.
+
+The editor is client-side, like the decoders: the file is read raw, decoded
+into its schema's values, edited, re-encoded and written with `/api/write`.
+Only the files listed with a shape have an encoder; everything else keeps the
+raw editor.
+
+## 1. Editing shapes
+
+Each shape is one renderer + one encoder contract.  `fields` are the flat form
+values, `list` is a transparent file holding N items, `items` is a record
+holding a TLV list; the record-scoped variants reuse the same field/item
+renderers inside a per-record block with a "write this record" checkbox
+(auto-checked when an input changes).
+
+| Shape | File / record content | Editor |
+|---|---|---|
+| **S0** read-only | card- or network-managed values (location, keys, counters) | no editor; the button says why |
+| **S1** scalar/flag TR | one or a few bytes / flags | one form |
+| **S2** text TR | Annex A (TS 102 221) or NAI text | one form, text field |
+| **S3** BCD TR | ICCID / IMSI (nibble-swapped BCD, parity/type nibble) | one form, digits |
+| **S4** PLMN list TR | n × 3-byte PLMN (TS 24.008) | item rows, add/remove |
+| **S5** PLMN+ACT list TR | n × (3-byte PLMN + 2-byte ACT) | item rows, add/remove, tech multi-select |
+| **S6** bit/service list TR | service or identifier bit lists | item list with labels (checkbox per service/id) |
+| **S7** fixed-record fields | alpha + BCD address + ids (ADN family), LAI+id (OPL), code+alpha+category (ECC), TP parameters (SMSP) | per-record form + checkbox |
+| **S8** record TLV list | PNN (name TLVs), DIR (application templates), ARR (access rules), PBR (A8/A9/AA containers) | per-record item rows, add/remove/edit; unknown TLVs preserved |
+| **S9** nested structures | PBR containers, DIR templates, EXT chains | later: a tree, or read-only with a structured view |
+| **S10** dedicated builders | SMS (TPDU), SMSP (TPDU parameter set), key material | later: a dedicated form, not a generic encoder |
+
+Rules that apply to every encoder (and are what the tests pin):
+
+- encode **only the edited values**, from the original record/file bytes:
+  length, padding and anything the schema does not expose are preserved;
+- never change the file/record length; refuse when the new value does not fit;
+- preserve the original text coding when the text is unchanged, and choose a
+  spec-legal coding when it changed (Annex A: unpacked GSM 7-bit / UCS-2; PNN
+  network name: packed GSM 7-bit with the spare-bit count / UCS-2);
+- refuse (not silently truncate) when an edit would invalidate a cross-file
+  reference (`EF.EXT1` chain, PBR/IAP, OPL→PNN record id, CMI pointer).
+
+## 2. Survey of the known files
+
+`Wave` is the release that adds the encoder.  Files we do not decode yet are
+listed only where they matter for the plan; the spec's ~120 USIM EFs include
+many specialized ones (MMS, VGCS/VBS, ePDG, IMS configuration, …) that are not
+editing candidates.

+### 2.3 Coverage vs the spec
+
+The decoder registry covers ~45 EFs.  The spec defines many more; the
+remaining ones are either specialized protocols (MMS, VGCS/VBS, ePDG, IMS
+configuration, GBA, 5G slice configuration) or administrative/key files that
+must not be edited from a workbench without a dedicated flow (Keys, DCK,
+network parameters, START-HFN).  Nothing in the survey forces a new shape
+beyond S9/S10.
+
+## 3. Findings (defects and constraints the survey exposed)
+
+1. **EF.BDN is X+15, not X+14.**  The shared ADN codec assumes the last two
+   bytes are CCP1/EXT1; BDN adds a trailing **Comparison Method Pointer**
+   (`X+15`, TS 31.102 4.2.44).  The read-only decoded view currently
+   mis-parses BDN records, and the v3.33.0 encoder would corrupt them.  The
+   codec must take the layout (ADN vs BDN) and preserve the CMI pointer.
+2. **EF.ECC has two layouts.**  SIM: transparent 3n (TS 51.011 10.3.27);
+   USIM: linear fixed X+4 (TS 31.102 4.2.21).  The decoder implements the SIM
+   layout only; on a USIM the alpha bytes are read as more codes.  A
+   structure-aware decode is needed before an ECC editor.
+3. **S8 is not one shape.**  PNN (flat tag+length+value TLVs) is the simple
+   case.  DIR/ARR/PBR nest TLVs and cross-reference other files; they need
+   either a tree editor or a structured read-only view first.
+4. **References are part of the model.**  EXT1–5 chains (ADN/MSISDN/BDN),
+   OPL→PNN record ids, PBR→(ADN/PBC/EXT/IAP) by FID/SFI.  An editor that
+   ignores them can leave a card in a contradictory state: encoders must
+   preserve untouched references and refuse edits that would break one.
+5. **Cyclic files edit like linear ones** for our purposes (write by record
+   number), but the card owns the order (LND/ICI/OCI/ACM); the editor notes
+   it and the write is still a plain UPDATE.
+6. **FID collisions across DFs** (e.g. 6F02 = EF.IMPI in ISIM and EF.OCST in
+   USIM) make the fid-only decoder fallback unsafe; the name-based lookup is
+   the primary one and encoders should not be fid-only where a collision is
+   possible.
+7. **Text coding is per file.**  Annex A (TS 102 221) for SPN/ADN/SUUME;
+   the Network Name IE (TS 24.008 10.5.3.5a) for PNN, where the first byte is
+   `0x80 | spare` for packed GSM 7-bit and `0x90` for UCS-2 — the real-card
+   vector `43 0A 82 D4 32 BB BC 7E B7 5D E4 32 …` confirms it.
+8. **EF.SST is a 2-bit table** (TS 51.011 10.3.7): 4 services per byte, first
+   bit of the pair = allocated, second = activated.  The shared 1-bit
+   UST/EST codec was used for it, so SIM service tables were both misread and
+   miswritten; the decoder is fixed in v3.34.0, editing waits for an
+   allocated/activated UI.
+9. **EF.ACC class numbering** (TS 31.102 4.2.15): byte 1 b8…b1 = classes 15…8
+   and byte 2 = 7…0 (class 10 is written as 0); the old decoder counted from
+   class 0 at the MSB.  Fixed in v3.34.0.
+10. **EF.AD's operation mode is a whole byte** (00/80/01/81/02/04), not bits
+    0-1 plus a test bit; the MNC-length byte may be 0 (service n°130 available)
+    or absent (3-byte SIM form).  The decoder and encoder follow this now.
+11. **The IMSI parity/type nibble** (TS 24.008 10.5.1.4) is 9 for an odd digit
+    count and 1 for an even one; the first encoder always wrote 9.
+12. **SIM EF.LP/EF.PL use the 1-byte DCS language coding**, unlike the USIM
+    EF.LI's 2-byte ISO 639 letters — the shared decoder is wrong for the SIM
+    files (queued with the language work).
+13. **EF.SMSP's parameter indicators are a five-bit presence map with inverted
+    meaning** (TS 31.102 §4.2.27: bit 1 DA, 2 SCA, 3 PID, 4 DCS, 5 VP; bit = 1
+    means *absent*; bits 6–8 reserved = 1).  The decoder had the bits shifted
+    (SCA on 5, PID on 2, DCS on 3, VP on 4), so mixed indicators were misread.
+14. **The two address slots use different length conventions**: TP-DA's length
+    is the digit count (TS 23.040 §9.1.2.5), TS-SCA's is the octet count of
+    TON/NPI + digits with 0 = default SMSC (TS 24.011 §8.2.5.2); the decoder
+    read the DA slot as octets.  Both are handled explicitly now.
+
+## 4. Release waves
+
+- **v3.33.0 (shipped)** — framework: encoder registry, field/list/items
+  schemas, record checkboxes + auto-check, save/validation; shapes S2, S5,
+  S7, S8 for SPN, PLMNwAcT/OPLMNwAcT/HPLMNwAcT, ADN/FDN/SDN/MSISDN/LND,
+  PNN; the BDN layout fix; the `efPlmnAct` EC-GSM-IoT-only (`0x88`) decode fix.
+- **v3.34.0 (shipped)** — the S1/S3/S4/S6 wave: UST/IST/EST service tables
+  (filterable bit grid), ACC, PHASE, HPPLMN, AD, the PLMN-only lists
+  (PLMNsel/FPLMN/EHPLMN), ICCID/IMSI (behind a confirmation) and
+  CBMI/CBMID/CBMIR.  Decoder fixes: ACC class numbering, the AD operation
+  mode / MNC-length rules, the SST 2-bit layout (read-only for now) and the
+  IMSI parity nibble.
+- **v3.35.0 (shipped)** — EF.SMSP as the first S10 dedicated builder: the full
+  parameter form (alpha; TP-DA and TS-SCA with their own length conventions
+  and TON; TP-PID; TP-DCS with TS 23.038 hints; the relative TP-VP with the
+  TS 23.040 ladder), a per-parameter *absent (the ME default applies)* state,
+  verbatim preservation of unchanged slots (including alphanumeric TON
+  addresses) and the parameter-indicator and TP-DA-length decoder fixes.
+- **v3.36.0** — LI/LP/PL (the SIM files need the 1-byte DCS language coding
+  and a name-dependent decoder), GID1/GID2 (the clause states no coding —
+  verify TS 31.101 first), SPDI (the A3 > 80 wrapper), OPL (PNN record
+  select), ECC (SIM and USIM — needs a structure-aware decode), SUUME,
+  IMPI/DOMAIN/IMPU, ACL; EXT1–EXT5 as a read-only structured view.
+- **Postponed by decision (read-only; do not implement without confirmation)**
+  — EF.DIR, EF.ARR, EF.SMS, EF.PBR: they rarely need manual changes and the
+  decoded view is enough.
+- **Read-only forever (S0)** unless a dedicated flow appears: LOCI/PSLOCI/
+  EPSLOCI/EPSNSC/LOCIGPRS, Kc/KcGPRS, Keys/KeysPS, ACM, START-HFN/THRESHOLD,
+  call logs (ME-written), DCK/NETPAR.
+
+## 5. Testing strategy
+
+- **Round-trip**: for every encoder, `encode(decode(original), original)`
+  must reproduce the original bytes for spec-canonical records (the vectors
+  come from the spec's own examples, pySim's test data and real-card dumps).
+- **Edit-one-field**: changing a field changes only that field's bytes
+  (padding, coding of untouched fields, ids and extension pointers stay).
+- **Refusals**: over-capacity values, broken references, unsupported layouts
+  (BDN with the CMI pointer, EXT1 chains) throw an actionable error.
+- **No capability by accident**: a file without an encoder must never show
+  the editor (gating test), and a schema/label drift guard keeps the editors
+  and decoders aligned.
