Part 2 of #5885. Not sure about these two, that is why I separated them from #5885.

  1. set.cpp: a /settings/wifi save without CS0 leaves the WiFi list empty. Now one blank entry stays. The settings page never sends that, only a hand-made request does.
  2. cfg.cpp: a partial nw.ins entry reset the WPA-Enterprise type and identities. Now absent keys keep the current values. Not tested against a real enterprise network.

Both run on an ESP8266 only. AI-assisted.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Preserved existing enterprise Wi-Fi encryption settings when no encryption type is provided.
    • Ensured Wi-Fi settings retain a default entry when unused entries are removed.

A /settings/wifi request without a CS0 field removed every entry of
multiWiFi. Several readers index entry 0 without a size check, among
them isWiFiConfigured(), the nw.ins reader of /json/cfg and Improv.

With C++ exceptions disabled, as in the nodemcuv2, esp32dev and
esp32_eth environments, shrink_to_fit() keeps the buffer. The device
then went on using the stale entry, saved an empty "ins" list and came
up without its credentials after the next reboot; a /json/cfg POST with
one nw.ins entry was written to the stale slot and never saved. In a
build with exceptions enabled the buffer is freed and the first read of
entry 0 goes through a null pointer (reproduced in a host model, not on
a device).

The list now always keeps one blank entry, so a later nw.ins entry is
stored and saved. Tested on an ESP8266 (nodemcuv2): after such a save
nw.ins holds one blank entry, and a posted entry is stored and survives
a reboot.
enc_type fell back to PSK and both identities to an empty string when
the keys were absent, so a /json/cfg POST that only changed e.g. the
static IP of an enterprise entry saved it as PSK without identities.
Absent keys now keep the current values. An entry that is, or becomes,
PSK still has its identities cleared, as the WiFi settings page does,
so type and identities have to arrive in the same request.

cfg.json always carries enc_type, and the identities for enterprise
entries, so reading it at boot gives the same result as before.

Host-tested against the vendored ArduinoJson (36 checks) and built for
nodemcuv2 with -D WLED_ENABLE_WPA_ENTERPRISE. Run on an ESP8266 with that
build: partial entries kept type and identities, also across a reboot.

Walkthrough

Wi-Fi deserialization now updates encryption and enterprise identity fields in the existing entry. Wi-Fi settings processing now adds a default entry if removing unused entries leaves the list empty.

Changes

Wi-Fi Configuration Handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Wi-Fi configuration state handling
wled00/cfg.cpp, wled00/set.cpp
Deserialization preserves the existing encryption type when enc_type is absent and clears enterprise identities for PSK. Settings processing adds a default entry when the Wi-Fi list is empty.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
