My main concern was if anything got hot enough to melt anything.
None, nada.

PCB with parts soldered on and wired for testing the actual circuit.
The main concern is how hot at full output (1.25W).

Solar Mesh node update.
The thermal switch has worked exactly as expected opening at freezing thus isolating the solar panel from the charge circuit and the battery.
