Explanation
Arrr, issue
#446requires concurrentsetValue(),append(), anddeepCopy()to be safe.append()now locks its operation, butsetValue()acquiresNimBLEAttValue::Lockand then callsappend(), which acquires the same non-recursive mutex again. This self-deadlocks the requiredsetValue()path. The available evidence shows no automated regression tests for the concurrent paths.Resolution
Arrr, acquire
NimBLEAttValue::Lockonly once in nested paths. Use an unlocked append helper fromsetValue()andoperator+=, or use an equivalent design that avoids recursive acquisition. Add automated tests for concurrentsetValue(),append(), anddeepCopy()operations.

Explanation
Arrr, the
NimBLEAttValue,NimBLEServer,NimBLEClient, initialization, and semaphore lifecycle changes support the synchronization objective in issue#446. TheNimBLEDevice::onSync()log-text correction and theNimBLELocalValueAttribute.hdocumentation correction have no demonstrated connection to that objective. These changes are outside the linked issue scope.Resolution
Arrr, remove the unrelated log and documentation corrections, or move them to a separate pull request.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winKeep the shared

nimble_port_stop()does not join the FreeRTOS host task. The host task can still executeNimBLEServer::handleGattEvent()whiledeinit(true)deletes the semaphore throughNimBLEAttValue::Lock::deinit(). Application tasks can also hold or await this public shared lock. Deleting an active FreeRTOS mutex causes invalid synchronization.Remove this teardown.

- Around line 1207-1213: Update the value-copy path in the handler containing
`pChr->m_value = value` to report allocation failure from `deepCopy` and check
that result before invoking `m_notifyCallback`; on failure, skip the callback
and return an appropriate ATT error. Keep the change scoped to making this copy
failure observable and handled.

- Line 28: Restrict the __atomic_fetch_add_4 fallback and its related
atomic-operation fallbacks to single-core Cortex-M0/M0+ targets, excluding
dual-core configurations from the __ARM_ARCH_6M__ guard. Do not rely on the
weak-symbol change to provide cross-core atomicity; use an appropriate
cross-core primitive or leave dual-core targets unsupported.

* Make deepCopy return whether memory allocation and copying succeeded. * Add copyFrom to expose that result to callers. * Allocate notification values using the full mbuf packet length, with BLE_ATT_ATTR_MAX_LEN as the maximum. * Reject oversized notifications and report temporary-buffer allocation or characteristic-value copy failures as insufficient resources. * Reassemble notification data before updating the characteristic value or invoking its callback.
