Defer BLE callback work to loop() to avoid cross-task state races.
BLEServerCallbacks and BLECharacteristicCallbacks run on the BLE host task, not on the Arduino loop() task. Three problems follow:
startCalibrationCycle()andhandleGoSignal()writeeogCalibPhase,eegCalibPhase,awaitingGoEOG,awaitingGoBlink,blinkCount, and the guard timestamps whilehandleEOG()andprocessBlinkLogic()read and write the same globals in the loop task. The writes are neither atomic norvolatile, so a reset can interleave with an in-progress calibration step.resetToRestState()andbeginEOGCalibration()callpixels.show()from the callback task. A concurrentpixels.show()from the loop task corrupts the NeoPixel bit stream.beginEOGCalibration()callssendCalStatus(), which notifies from inside a BLE callback.
Set request flags in the callbacks and act on them at the top of loop().

Clamp the EOG thresholds to a minimum magnitude.
POSITIVE_THRESHOLD and NEGATIVE_THRESHOLD are derived directly from the measured peaks with no floor. If a user performs the right/left steps weakly, or if an electrode is disconnected during calibration, both peaks stay near zero. The thresholds then collapse toward 0.0, and line 519 or line 521 fires on baseline noise on every sample. The result is continuous pivot commands to the vehicle.
The blink path already applies a floor at line 630. Apply the same protection here, and report a calibration failure when the peaks are too small.

The polarity-to-direction mapping is assumed, not calibrated.
The calibration accumulates maxPositivePeak and maxNegativePeak across both the RIGHT step and the LEFT step (lines 459-460 and 470-471). It never records which polarity the RIGHT step produced. Here the firmware hard-codes positive to STEER_LEFT and negative to STEER_RIGHT. If the electrode leads are reversed, steering is inverted and the calibration cannot detect it.
Track the peaks per phase, then derive the mapping from the measured sign.
♻️ Suggested approach

+float rightPhasePeak = 0.0; // signed extreme seen during EOGCALIB_RIGHT
+float leftPhasePeak = 0.0; // signed extreme seen during EOGCALIB_LEFT

The emergency-stop LED is cleared immediately.
Line 683 sets pixel 1 to red and line 684 pushes it. resetToRestState() then clears pixel 1 at line 357 and calls pixels.show() at line 369. The red indication is never visible. Set the red pixel after the reset, or hold it for a fixed period.

Seed eegLastMicros in setup().
On the first call to handleEEGSampling(), eegLastMicros is 0, so interval equals the full micros() value at that moment. eegTimer drops to a large negative value. The sampler then runs on every loop iteration, with no 512 Hz rate limit, until it adds back 1953 µs per iteration and catches up. During that burst the IIR filters and the envelope receive samples at the wrong rate.
Set eegLastMicros = micros(); at the end of setup().

Add a delay before onDone when voice prompts are off.
If voiceOn is false, speak calls onDone synchronously. applyPhase then calls sendGoSignal() in the same tick as the phase notification. The firmware starts the step hold timer as soon as it receives GO (handleGoSignal in BLE-EOG-Car-Controller/BLE-EOG-Car-Controller.ino). The user has no time to read the instruction and move the eyes into position, so the board records the wrong pose and derives wrong thresholds.
Give the user a fixed reading delay on the silent path.

Guard the speech callback against stale phase transitions.
speak calls window.speechSynthesis.cancel() on every new phase. The cancel fires onend or onerror on the pending utterance of the previous phase, so the previous callback still runs. That callback writes GO and starts the countdown of the old step.
Sequence:
- Phase
rightarrives. Speech starts. Callback is pending. - Phase
leftarrives before the speech ends.speakcancels the utterance. - The
rightcallback runs. GO is written and therightcountdown starts. - The firmware releases the
leftstep immediately, before its announcement ends.

In `@BLE-EOG-Car-Controller/npg-lite-calibrator.html` around lines 846 - 855,
Update the phase speech flow around speak and sendGoSignal so each phase
captures a unique token, and have the callback verify that token still
represents the current phase before sending GO or starting startCountdown.
Invalidate the previous token whenever a new phase begins, while preserving the
existing behavior for the current phase.
