Display, menu, and touch-input paths use this API. ThinkNode variants configure default-on behavior, and the M1 notification LED changes to blue. ChangesBacklight control

53-56: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueShorten the GPIO normalization comment.
Lines 53-56 use four lines to describe local behavior. Reduce this to one or two lines that state why legacy brightness values require normalization.
Proposed fix
- // This backend only ever stores 0 or GPIO_BACKLIGHT_ON_LEVEL, so any other value - the legacy - // 153 default, a level from a dimmer-aware client - was not set here. Fall back to the variant - // default rather than reading it as "lit". + // Normalize legacy or dimmer values because GPIO stores only off or full-on brightness.As per coding guidelines, “Keep code comments minimal - one or two lines, max.”

- Around line 57-58: Update backlightSet() to normalize level to
GPIO_BACKLIGHT_DEFAULT_LEVEL whenever it is neither zero nor
GPIO_BACKLIGHT_ON_LEVEL, before updating lastOnLevel or
uiconfig.screen_brightness. Preserve valid off and on levels so backlightGet()
and persisted configuration contain only supported GPIO brightness values.

Screen::handleSetOn restored PIN_EINK_EN only when screen_brightness was exactly 1. The field is 0..255 and defaults to 153, so the frontlight stayed off after a screen timeout until the next reboot. InputBroker read screen_brightness as "currently lit" for the touch backlight, so a stored level made touch-to-light a no-op. The HAPTIC_FEEDBACK_PIN block then reassigned touchConfig.onPress and onRelease, dropping those handlers on any variant defining both. MINI_EPAPER_S3 names its panel power rail PIN_EINK_EN. It was switched off with the screen and never restored. graphics::Backlight gains a GPIO backend covering PIN_EINK_EN and PCA_PIN_EINK_EN, so Screen, MenuHandler and InputBroker call backlightOn, backlightOff, backlightToggle and backlightIsLit instead of touching pins. backlightIsLit reports the driven state, separate from the configured level. Power-up state is declared per variant with GPIO_BACKLIGHT_DEFAULT_ON rather than hardcoded in the e-ink driver. The backend stores only 0 or 255, so any other stored level falls back to the variant default and no board changes its existing behaviour. MINI_EPAPER_S3 is excluded and keeps its rail powered. Touch handlers are merged so backlight and haptic feedback compose. Verified on ThinkNode M1: lit at boot, off on timeout, lit on wake, and an explicit off surviving both wake and reboot.
P0.13 drives the blue indicator, not a green one. P1.06 is a second drive for the same red LED as LED_POWER, which is why it stays disabled.
backlightSet stored whatever level it was given, so a caller passing an intermediate value left backlightGet and the persisted config holding a level the rail cannot drive. Clamp to off or on in the setter, which keeps the invariant at the single write point instead of only at init.

Problem
Screen::handleSetOnrestoredPIN_EINK_ENonly whenuiconfig.screen_brightnesswas exactly 1. The field is 0..255 and defaults to 153, so on boards with a GPIO frontlight the light stayed off after a screen timeout until the next reboot.Three further defects share the same root cause,
screen_brightnessbeing read as live pin state:InputBrokersettouchBacklightWasOn = uiconfig.screen_brightness > 0. With any stored level the touch pad neither lit the frontlight on press nor cleared it on release. Affects T-Echo and T-Echo Plus.HAPTIC_FEEDBACK_PINblock reassignedtouchConfig.onPressandonReleaseafter the backlight block had set them, discarding the backlight handlers on any variant defining both.MINI_EPAPER_S3names its panel power railPIN_EINK_EN. It was pulled low with the screen and never restored.Change

That is the value the touch handler needs.Power-up state moves from the e-ink driver's variant ifdef ladder to

Compatibility
The GPIO backend stores only 0 or 255. Any other stored level, including the 153 default, is treated as not set by this backend and falls back to the variant default. Boards without
GPIO_BACKLIGHT_DEFAULT_ONkeep their current dark power-up and wake behaviour: t-echo, t-echo-plus, m5stack_coreink, Dongle_nRF52840-pca10059-v1, seeed_wio_tracker_L1_eink.Testing

LED_POWER, which is why it stays disabled.Summary by CodeRabbit
