Was trying to apply the hack following the instructions to the letter, but never could fix an wifi issue where it would drop out every 60s. Since it was so consistent i thought it must be a timer or something. Started to play with settings and read some wifi.sh code and found the watchdog with a timeout setting. Then when i changed the wifi time out setting to 120 seconds my wifi was stable for 120s. I remember thinking omg, 2 days of trying everything and it was just this.

So i set the time out to 3600 sec and said ill fix the code later. Here is the proof

With this change i now dont see any issue with my wifi connection (for an hr). I will try to fix with with a pr, but creating this to trak the issue and to help inform anyone else having this issue.

So digging around it seem that the watch dog is running but not getting stopped https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks/blob/beta/firmware_mod/scripts/wifi.sh#L145

Which should happen when connection is called https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks/blob/beta/firmware_mod/scripts/wifi.sh#L134

Which is called by this file https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks/blob/beta/firmware_mod/scripts/wpa_action.sh#L7

So just need to work out why the connect isnt being called

In case you haven't tried it yet and are still trying to debug this, I believe you can set the timeout value to inf as a more long term "hack", assuming you are fine with the AP mode never coming on.
