- bridges/tcp_serial_bridge.py: increase default boot_delay 2s → 8s to
cover MiniMate Plus cold-start time (unit wakes from RS-232 line
assertion but takes 5-10s to be ready for POLL_PROBE).
- sfm/server.py: add _run_with_retry() — on TCP connections only, retries
once on ProtocolError. Serial timeouts are not retried (usually a real
fault). Confirmed behaviour: unit wakes purely from RS-232 line voltage,
no software wake-up frame needed.
- minimateplus/transport.py: add TcpTransport — stdlib socket-based transport
with same interface as SerialTransport. Overrides read_until_idle() with
idle_gap=1.5s to absorb the modem's 1-second serial data forwarding buffer.
- minimateplus/client.py: make `port` param optional (default "") so
MiniMateClient works cleanly when a pre-built transport is injected.
- minimateplus/__init__.py: export SerialTransport and TcpTransport.
- sfm/server.py: add `host` / `tcp_port` query params to all device endpoints.
New _build_client() helper selects TCP or serial transport automatically.
OSError (connection refused, timeout) now returns HTTP 502.
- docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md: add changelog entry and full §14
(TCP/Modem Transport) documenting confirmed transparent passthrough, no ENQ
on connect, modem forwarding delay, call-up vs ACH modes, and hardware note
deprecating Raven X in favour of RV55/RX55.
Usage: GET /device/info?host=<modem_ip>&tcp_port=12345
