I need to do some testing before i write a proper revised bug/feature entry but i think what may be happening is serialbranch is not called until cr/lf or something similar arrives in the buffer. (It may be that my terminal emulator doesnt send anything till i hit return, which would also explain it, or my test prog is wrongly written - this is not how it'sintended to work)

Other thoughts - seed reader suppotts 2 output protocols....does it only send data once ....could data contain 0d... 3.3 ttl...

I've flashed over my nodemcu with the standard at software to try to check how termite was interacting with esp, but tomorrow evening i'll put the latest basic back and recreate my prog which hopefully will show show where i'm going wrong.

Using debug it seemed to stay on the wait statement till i hit return, then execute serialbranch. But maybe termite wasnt sending chars to serial before then...many layers,much complexity, head hurts...
