§C of the 1.8.0 hardening plan: persistence writes whose Results were
silently dropped now log a warn/error with context (mesh contact
blocklist, scheduler state, content catalog, container registry,
update state, bitcoin relay, package install markers, server shutdown
state). §I: federation tombstones are now flushed durably in
storage/sync so cleared peers can't resurrect after a crash.
Tracker updated with shas in docs/1.8.0-RELEASE-HARDENING-PLAN.md.

The reticulum daemon is a PyInstaller one-file binary: a bootloader parent
that forks the real Python process. `kill_on_drop`/`start_kill()` only SIGKILL
the bootloader, orphaning the forked child — which keeps holding the RNode
serial port. Across the listener's 30-min RX-stall reconnects this piled up
(observed 9 concurrent instances on a live node) all clutching /dev/ttyUSB0,
garbling the RNode so it stopped transmitting entirely.
Spawn the daemon as its own process-group leader (`process_group(0)`) and, on
drop, signal the whole group (SIGTERM for a clean RNode/socket release, then
SIGKILL as a hard backstop) so the forked child can never be orphaned.

- reticulum.rs: send_text_msg was lossy-UTF8-mangling binary CBOR control
envelopes (ReadReceipt etc.) before sending as LXMF text; base64-encode
with a marker instead, decoded losslessly on receive.
- typed_messages.rs: mesh.send-read-receipt fired automatically on every
chat view with no is_archy_peer gate, so viewing a message from a stock
(non-archy) LXMF peer auto-sent it an undecodable control envelope,
surfacing as garbage text right after whatever it just sent. Now a no-op
for non-archy peers.
- mesh/listener/mod.rs: RX_STALL_TIMEOUT was 300s and forced a full
auto-detect reconnect on any otherwise-healthy but quiet mesh link
(visible as "Connecting..." flapping); this also wiped Reticulum's
in-memory peer-address table every cycle, breaking messaging with peers
who hadn't re-announced in the window. Bumped to 1800s.
- reticulum.rs: persist the peer prefix/dest-hash/display-name table to
disk so a restart doesn't force every peer back to "Anonymous Peer"
until they re-announce.
- decode.rs/frames.rs: Meshcore was discarding the SNR its wire format
carries; wire it onto the peer record. Mesh.vue's signalBars() now falls
back to SNR-based bars when RSSI is unavailable (always true for
Meshcore); Reticulum has neither and correctly stays at 0/"no data".
- system/handlers.rs, dispatcher.rs: new system.get-hostname RPC + cert
regeneration (with a proper SAN) whenever server.set-name changes the
hostname, so HTTPS doesn't add a mismatch warning on top of the
self-signed one after a rename.
- AccountInfoSection.vue: surface the mDNS hostname + http/https links in
Settings (HTTPS needed for mic/camera secure-context features) — never
forced, both keep working.
- build-auto-installer-iso.sh: ship avahi-daemon so .local names actually
resolve on the LAN, and give the self-signed cert a real SAN instead of
a bare CN, both at image-build and install-time-fallback.
- Mesh.vue/MediaLightbox.vue/mesh-styles.css: mic/attach-stack no longer
closes on a plain hover-past; mesh images open in the shared lightbox
and have a real download button; lightbox close button moves to
bottom-center on mobile instead of under the status bar; mesh device
panel gets the same height/padding as its sibling tabs.
Verified: 108/108 mesh unit tests, deployed + confirmed healthy on
.116/.198/.228 (matching binary hash across all three), live Reticulum
messaging confirmed working end-to-end post-deploy.

Three fixes:
1. Modem-preset authoritative: parse_config_lora_region now also decodes
modem_preset (field 2) alongside region, tracked as current_modem_preset.
ensure_lora_region's "region already set, don't touch it" branch (correct,
unchanged) now ALSO re-asserts LONG_FAST when a real observed preset has
drifted -- previously modem_preset only ever got written when region was
UNSET, so a radio with the right region but wrong preset was never fixed.
Only acts on an actually-observed wrong value (never speculative), so it
can't reboot-loop.
2. RX-stall watchdog: run_mesh_session now bails (triggering the existing
auto-reconnect path) if no frame has been successfully received in 5
minutes -- the existing consecutive_write_failures counter is blind to a
receive-only stall (writes can keep succeeding while inbound streaming is
wedged).
3. Hot-swap detection: spawn_mesh_listener now compares self_node_id across
session restarts and logs clearly when the physical radio itself changed
(not just an ordinary reconnect of the same board). Per-session device
state (contacts, current_region, etc.) was already naturally isolated
per-session (fresh struct each reconnect) -- nothing else needed clearing.
107/107 mesh tests pass (2 new: modem_preset decode + the
absent-field-defaults-to-LONG_FAST case).

New MeshDevicePanel.vue, added as a 4th/5th tab entry to activeTab/toolsTab/
mobileTab following the exact existing pattern (chat/bitcoin/deadman/
assistant/map). Shows firmware version, node ID, advert name, LoRa region,
channel, and device type -- firmware_version/self_node_id were already
server-side but never rendered; region is new (composed into MeshStatus from
MeshConfig.lora_region at read time, not part of the live session state).
Reboot button wired to the already-working mesh.reboot-radio RPC.

Backend: parse_mesh_packet now decodes MeshPacket.rx_snr (field 8, float) and
rx_rssi (field 12, int32), and a new POSITION_APP branch decodes Position.
latitude_i/longitude_i (fields 1/2, sfixed32) -- all field numbers confirmed
against the canonical meshtastic/protobufs mesh.proto, not guessed. Threaded
through ParsedContact -> refresh_contacts -> MeshPeer (mirroring how
pkc_capable was wired for #17), so mesh.peers now surfaces real rssi/snr/lat/
lon instead of always-null. Fixed a real bug found along the way:
update_node_info's unconditional contact replace would have silently wiped
any already-tracked signal/position data on the next NodeInfo packet -- now
preserves it.
Frontend: mesh.ts's updateNodePositionsFromPeers() feeds real position data
into the SAME nodePositions map MeshMap.vue already renders from (parallel to
the existing Coordinate/Alert-message path) -- MeshMap.vue itself needed zero
changes, it was already built for this.
105/105 mesh tests pass (4 new: rx_snr/rx_rssi decode, position decode +
incomplete-field handling, full packet_to_inbound_frame integration).

Merges in the meshtastic agent's now-finished work alongside this session's
continuation: stock-peer (3ccc) PKI-capability is now stamped through
get_contacts -> refresh_contacts -> MeshPeer.pkc_capable, so a directed DM to/from
a PKC-capable stock Meshtastic peer correctly shows the E2E pill on the Sent row,
not just received messages. Confirmed live: .198 sees "Meshtastic 3ccc" with
pkc_capable=true.
Also fixes two real interop/correctness bugs found while live-testing the
Reticulum <-> Sideband link:
- Receive: the daemon only ever read LXMF's plain-text content, silently
dropping native FIELD_IMAGE/FIELD_FILE_ATTACHMENTS fields — a stock
Sideband/NomadNet photo vanished into a blank-space message. Now decoded
into the same ContentInline typed envelope our own attachments use.
- Send: images to a non-archy (stock) peer now use native LXMF FIELD_IMAGE
instead of our own opaque CBOR wire format, which Sideband can't decode.
- Root cause of a garbled MC-chunk-fragment bug: TypedEnvelope.v/.sig (the
OUTER wrapper every message type uses) serialized raw bytes as a CBOR
array-of-integers instead of a native byte string, bloating every
message on the wire ~2-3.5x — enough to push even a tiny ReadReceipt
over the 140-byte single-frame chunking threshold. Root-caused by
reading ciborium's deserializer source directly (deserialize_bytes only
works within its internal scratch buffer; deserialize_byte_buf streams
unbounded).
Frontend: consolidated the attach/record buttons into a single animated "+"
menu (was overflowing the compose row).
857/857 tests pass. Verified live across all 5 deploy-roster nodes.

Phase 0 gates #2/#3 (two-node LXMF-over-LoRa, external Sideband interop) passed
on real hardware (.116's flashed Heltec V3 RNode <-> a phone-flashed RNode running
Sideband) — RNS announce, encrypted DM round-trip, and contact binding all verified
live. Fixed two bugs found in the process: the Reticulum send path wasn't stamping
outbound messages as E2E despite LXMF being unconditionally encrypted, and the
per-message transport pill collapsed Meshcore/Meshtastic into one generic "lora"
color instead of distinguishing the three radio transports.
Built on top of that link: a Columba-style image/file send experience —
compression-quality presets with a real transfer-time estimate (mesh.transport-advice,
now device-throughput-aware), receive-side thumbnail previews + auto-render for
already-local attachments, and async voice messages, all reusing the existing
ContentRef/ContentInline attachment pipeline. The headline addition is genuine RNS
Resource transfer support (daemon-side RNS.Link + RNS.Resource, Rust-side
send_resource/resource_recv plumbing, a new "resource-mesh" transport-advice tier)
so compressed photos up to 2MB now actually transfer over LoRa for Reticulum peers
instead of always falling back to Tor past the small inline-chunk cap.

Inbound Meshtastic text addressed to BROADCAST_NUM (the default public
LongFast channel, or any channel slot) was filed into a per-sender 1:1 DM
thread, so public-channel messages polluted individual people's DM chats
and appeared as if sent directly to the user.
packet_to_inbound_frame now detects `to == BROADCAST_NUM` and emits a new
synthetic RESP_MESHTASTIC_CHANNEL_TEXT frame
([channel_idx][sender_prefix(6)][text]) that the listener files under the
channel thread (contact_id = u32::MAX - idx) while still attributing the
message to its real sender. Directed text (to == our node) still routes to
the DM thread — a regression test locks that split in.
send_channel_text now sets MeshPacket.channel (field 3) so archy actually
transmits on channel 0 (public) instead of ignoring the slot. Mesh.vue keeps
the synthetic "Meshtastic !xxxx" sender id when that is the best identity
available for a stock public-channel device.

archy went deaf to inbound LoRa packets after every config write.
A config write (region/channel/owner) reboots the radio, which resets
the firmware PhoneAPI to STATE_SEND_NOTHING; it won't stream received
packets again until the client re-sends want_config. archy ignored
FromRadio.rebooted (field 8) so never resubscribed — which is why old
messages only arrived after a full restart (restart = fresh want_config).
- meshtastic.rs: handle FROM_RADIO_REBOOTED -> set pending_reinit;
try_recv_frame re-sends want_config to resubscribe the packet stream.
Add send_keepalive (bare heartbeat) and pin modem_preset=LONG_FAST in
set_lora_region so all radios share frequency.
- listener/session.rs: MeshRadioDevice::send_keepalive; 10s sync_timer
sends a keepalive each tick (insurance vs 15-min idle serial close).
- mod.rs send_message: device-aware send — Meshtastic archy peers get a
plain TEXT_MESSAGE_APP DM (firmware PKC E2E); Meshcore archy peers keep
the typed envelope (no meshcore regression).
Verified: .198->.228 directed DM arrives as RECEIVED enc=True
peer="Arch Optiplex"; all 3 nodes (.116/.198/.228) + 3ccc hear each
other. Binary 737b16c3 deployed+active on all three.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- send_message now sends archy↔archy plain text as a native TEXT_MESSAGE_APP
DM (firmware PKC-encrypts E2E), not wrapped in the binary typed envelope
that silently broke archy↔archy LoRa delivery. Archy peers' Sent rows are
marked encrypted so the E2E pill shows; rich typed msgs still use the
typed-wire path.
- Add a software radio-reboot to recover a wedged/RX-deaf radio without
physical access (and for the Device-tab settings panel): driver reboot()
via AdminMessage reboot_seconds=97 (verified vs meshtastic/protobufs),
MeshCommand::RebootRadio, MeshService::reboot_radio, RPC mesh.reboot-radio.
- Handoff doc: docs/SESSION-1.8.0-OTA-PROGRESS.md "RESUME HERE" — RF link is
the proven blocker (radios not hearing each other); modem_preset mismatch
is the prime suspect; on-device Meshtastic-app check + fix plan documented.

ensure_lora_region previously force-overrode the device's region with the
mesh-config region (EU_868) whenever they differed — which would shove a US/ANZ
user's radio onto EU_868: an illegal band that also cuts it off from its local
mesh. Off-the-shelf interop must respect whatever region the user flashed.
Now: a radio that already reports a REAL region (US, EU_868, ANZ, …) is left
untouched. We only set a region when the device reports UNSET (a fresh radio is
RF-silent and can't mesh at all), using the operator-configured region as the
fallback. Unknown/None (never reported) is also left alone. Pairs with the
default-channel change so a meshtastic archy node behaves like a stock device.
cargo check green (built into the same binary as the channel fix).

Make a meshtastic-equipped archy node work like a stock Meshtastic device AND
keep the private archy group, instead of being isolated on a custom primary:
- slot 0 (PRIMARY) = the DEFAULT public channel (empty name + default key) →
interoperates with every off-the-shelf device on LongFast and picks up
default-channel users; our NodeInfo broadcasts ride here like normal.
- slot 1 (SECONDARY) = "archipelago" (deterministic psk) → private archy↔archy.
Previously the driver set "archipelago" as the PRIMARY, isolating archy from the
public mesh. Now ensure_channel writes at most one channel per call (default
primary first, then archipelago secondary), reusing the existing reboot→
reconnect→re-check loop so it converges in ≤2 cycles without reboot-looping;
primary_is_default() accepts the default key in 1-byte or expanded form so a
stock radio is never needlessly rewritten. set_channel generalized to
(index, name, psk, role); want_config parse tracks both slots.
MeshCore needs no change — it never overrides channels (ensure_channel is a
no-op) and already rides MeshCore's default Public channel off the shelf.
cargo check green. NEEDS radio verify on .116/.198 (default-channel RX + archy
group on the secondary). Channel provision cap (3) covers the 2-write migration.

The synthetic meshcore-style frame the meshtastic driver builds can't carry the
radio's PKI-encryption status, so received meshtastic DMs never lit the E2E pill.
Thread it out-of-band: the device records `last_rx_encrypted` (= packet
pki_encrypted) when it yields a text frame; the session loop reads it via
`take_rx_encrypted()` right after dispatch and stamps the just-stored received
message E2E (dispatch::stamp_received_encrypted, monotonic-id keyed). Meshcore
returns false here (its E2E is derived in the frames decrypt path). Pure
out-of-band signal — no change to the shared meshcore wire format.
Built + deployed live in binary d937814e on .116/.198. cargo check green.

Addresses the open Meshtastic parity bug (project_meshtastic_parity): the
running driver received nothing (`mesh.messages` stayed []) though the radio
got the packets and sends worked.
Root-cause candidate: `try_recv_frame` decoded ONE serial frame per poll and
returned Ok(None) for every non-text FromRadio frame, so the session loop slept
50ms between frames. Under Meshtastic's frequent NodeInfo/telemetry stream a
received text packet queued behind them, and read_from_radio's 64KB buffer cap
could drain (drop) it before it was ever decoded — reception silently dead while
sends kept working.
- try_recv_frame now drains a bounded batch (64) per poll, processing each
frame's side effects and returning the first inbound text frame, so a text
packet is decoded the same poll it arrives and the buffer never grows enough
to hit the lossy cap. Bounded so a continuous flood still yields to select!.
- packet_to_inbound_frame logs every decoded packet (from/portnum/payload_len)
and a "did not parse (dropped)" case, so one live radio pass is conclusive.
The rest of the decode path was verified correct by inspection (FROM_RADIO_PACKET
=2, wire-type-5 handled, parse_mesh_packet sound, 60s heartbeat present) — not a
parse bug. cargo check green. NEEDS a live radio pass on a rig that isn't .228
(off-limits: bitcoin testing) to confirm.

Adds a per-message transport badge to archy↔archy mesh chats and fixes the
long-broken E2E badge — both meshcore and meshtastic, styled like the existing
E2E pill.
Transport pill:
- New `MeshMessage.transport` ("lora"/"fips"/"tor"), surfaced in the UI beside
the E2E badge (Mesh.vue transportLabel() → Mesh/FIPS/Tor, mesh-styles.css).
- Sent LoRa → "lora"; sent federation → finalized to the real leg ("fips"/"tor")
once the background send resolves (req.send_json transport), via an id-keyed
store update.
- Received: a post-dispatch stamp on handle_typed_envelope_direct's output
(monotonic ids) tags both transports without threading through all 20 typed-
dispatch sites — radio wrapper stamps "lora", federation injector stamps the
peer's last_transport ("fips"/"tor", default tor; the inbound HTTP carries no
FIPS-vs-Tor signal).
- Plain native/channel LoRa frames → "lora"; channel broadcasts stay non-E2E.
E2E pill fix:
- `encrypted` was hardcoded false at every MeshMessage construction site, so the
UI badge (Mesh.vue `v-if="msg.encrypted"`) never showed. Now: federation
envelopes are E2E (identity-signed over an encrypted transport); the meshcore
native-DM receive path already had a real `encrypted` flag (now also tagged
with transport). meshtastic-PKI radio E2E flag threading is a noted follow-up.
Backend cargo check + frontend vue-tsc build both green. Needs a live radio +
multi-transport pass on .116/.228 to confirm end-to-end (see
project_transport_pill / project_meshtastic_parity).

Fresh Meshtastic radios ship region-UNSET (RF-silent) and on mismatched
channels, so nodes only ever saw themselves. Bring them to MeshCore parity
using the official Meshtastic admin API:
- Auto-provision LoRa region (set_config, AdminMessage field 34) from a new
mesh-config `lora_region` (e.g. EU_868) when the radio's region differs.
- Auto-provision a shared primary channel (set_channel, field 33) with a
PSK derived deterministically from channel_name, so every node converges on
one mesh — the parity equivalent of MeshCore's named "archipelago" channel.
- Read current region/channel from want_config; only write when different
(no reboot loop); cap attempts so a radio that won't persist can't loop.
- Active NodeInfo advert scaffolding + aggressive serial drain.
Verified on .116+.228: region+channel persist, discovery works (both see each
other as named reachable contacts), bidirectional RF + sending confirmed.
Receiving in the running driver is still under diagnosis (instrumentation added).
Also removes the unwanted `meshtastic` daemon app from the registry (it was
never meant to be a container — native driver provides system-level support):
deletes apps/meshtastic + catalog entries (app-catalog, neode-ui, releases) +
test refs. Meshtastic stays native, like MeshCore.

A node reachable both over LoRa and federation has two MeshPeer rows (radio
twin: low contact_id + firmware key; federation twin: high contact_id +
archipelago key), and messages key by peer_contact_id split across the two ids
— so opening one twin shows an empty thread (the .120->.89 symptom).
- backend: new group_peer_twins() helper groups peers by arch_pubkey_hex (set on
BOTH twins by bind_federation_twins), keeps the radio id as the mesh-first
send target, and unions messages across all twin ids. Wired into
conversations.list / conversations.messages / mesh.contacts-list. +3 unit tests.
- frontend: the live chat list merges client-side (mergedPeers) and matched twins
by the "Archy-z6Mk..." advert prefix, which the Meshtastic device rename broke
(radio now advertises the server name). Merge by arch_pubkey_hex instead, which
the backend reliably sets on both twins. Expose arch_pubkey_hex on MeshPeer.
- fix unrelated stale test: EcashTransaction test missing the new `kind` field.

Meshtastic device rename was a no-op — set_advert_name only updated an
in-memory field and never told the radio, so the device kept its firmware
default ('Meshtastic xxxx') and wasn't findable from external Meshtastic
apps. MeshCore already renamed correctly (CMD_SET_ADVERT_NAME); this brings
Meshtastic to parity.
Send an AdminMessage{set_owner=User{long_name,short_name}} to the locally
connected node (admin packet to our own node_num on the ADMIN_APP port).
Local serial admin needs no session passkey, matching the official client.
long_name = server name (<=39 chars); short_name = first 4 alphanumerics,
upper-cased. Verified on real hardware: .120 -> 'Archy-X250-EXP', .5 ->
'Archy-X250-Beta' (name read back from the radio after reconnect).

A stock meshcore client (e.g. a phone) can't sign our typed envelopes, so it is
never 'authenticated' — which meant ticking it as an allowed assistant contact
had no effect and !ai stayed denied. The explicit per-contact allowlist is a
deliberate operator opt-in for a specific key, so match it regardless of
authentication, keyed on the asker's resolved identity (bound archipelago key,
else firmware routing key — how meshcore addresses the contact). The spoofable
federation-trust-list match still requires authentication.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A !ai (or any typed message) from a trusted, federated node was denied when
it arrived over the radio. The radio half of a node that is also a federation
peer carried no archipelago identity (identity adverts are no longer broadcast
on the public channel), so the trusted_only gate and signature verification
had no key to check the asker against — and the same node showed up as two
contacts (a radio twin + a federation twin).
- bind_federation_twins(): correlate a radio contact with its federation twin
by exact, case-insensitive advert_name and copy the federation peer's
arch_pubkey_hex/did/x25519 onto the radio record. Called from
upsert_federation_peer and refresh_contacts. Ambiguous names (held by >1
federation peer) are skipped. This is only a CANDIDATE key — security is
unchanged: the inbound envelope signature must still verify against it.
- send_message now signs the typed Text envelope (new_signed) so a radio !ai
authenticates against the bound key. A meshcore node merely named like a
trusted node cannot forge the signature, so it is still denied.
Receiver-side verification (handle_typed_envelope_direct) and federation-trust
matching (is_sender_allowed) already existed; this supplies the missing key
binding and signature. Also resolves the radio/federation duplicate-contact
display for same-named nodes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Messages to a federated peer that is out of LoRa range (e.g. on another
continent) were dropped into the radio with no fallback, or hung on a dead
FIPS path before reaching Tor — so they never arrived.
- Route a radio contact over the federation transport (FIPS->Tor) when it is
the same node as a federated peer (known archipelago identity -> onion) AND
it is not currently reachable over the radio. Reachable radio peers stay on
the mesh (preferred); oversized/file envelopes still always take federation.
- Resolve the onion via the archipelago identity key (arch_pubkey_hex), not
the firmware routing key, so a radio contact maps to its nodes.json onion.
- Add .fips_timeout(8s) to the federation message POST so an unreachable FIPS
overlay fast-fails to Tor (~3-5s) instead of burning the 120s budget.

UI (this session):
- Global audio player now scales the whole interface into the space above it
on desktop (sidebar + main) and docks directly above the tab bar on mobile;
it stays visible while navigating.
- Mesh mobile redesign: floating Chat / BTC / Dead Man / AI / Map tab strip
with a single fixed, internally-scrolling pane (page no longer scrolls);
tabs hide while a conversation is open; floating back button; collapsible
Device panel (starts collapsed); keyboard-aware conversation sizing via
VisualViewport so the chat sits just above the keyboard.
- Cloud file grid: uniform 4/3 card heights (folders + images match).
- Swipe left/right switches tabs on the Apps and Web5 screens.
- Map tool fills its pane (no bottom gap); fix skewed Share Location toggle
on mobile (global min-height rule was deforming the switch).
- Trim redundant helper copy from the mesh AI tab.
Also bundles pre-existing in-progress work that was already in the tree:
mesh listener/session + wallet + container + bitcoin-status backend changes,
docker UI updates, and assorted other UI tweaks.

Meshtastic DMs were falling back to a channel broadcast, so every node
on the LoRa channel saw a "direct" message. Send a directed MeshPacket
(to = node num, decoded from the synthetic pubkey's node-id bytes)
instead — the Meshtastic analog of the meshcore CMD_SEND_TXT_MSG fix.
DMs now reach only the recipient; firmware auto-PKC-encrypts them
end-to-end once NodeInfo keys are exchanged.
Capture E2E status at the driver level (no shared-type/UI change):
- learn each peer's real Curve25519 key from User.public_key (field 8)
and inbound MeshPacket.public_key (16), kept in a side-map separate
from the synthetic routing key so unicast routing is untouched
- detect inbound MeshPacket.pki_encrypted (17) to tell a true E2E DM
from a channel-PSK fallback
- peer_is_pkc_capable() seam for a future mesh-tab E2E badge
Hot-swap preserved: no dispatched MeshRadioDevice signature or the
shared ParsedContact changed, so meshcore and meshtastic stay
interchangeable behind the listener.
Adds tests/multinode/meshtastic.sh, a two/three-radio on-air parity
harness (detect, discover, DM round-trip, DM privacy, channel
broadcast, typed envelope, reachability).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- DMs now use native meshcore unicast (CMD_SEND_TXT_MSG) instead of @DM2 channel
broadcasts: private (E2E-encrypted to the recipient pubkey by firmware), off the
public channel, and decodable by stock clients. Plain text (split, not MC-chunked)
to non-archipelago contacts; typed envelopes to archy peers.
- !ai replies now DM the asker privately (RadioDm) instead of broadcasting on ch0.
- Auto contact-import: a heard advert (PUSH_CONTACT_ADVERT/0x80, 32-byte pubkey) is
added via CMD_ADD_UPDATE_CONTACT (0x09) so contacts appear without a flood advert.
- clear-all now DELETES firmware contacts via CMD_REMOVE_CONTACT (0x0F) instead of
blocklisting; blocking filter removed entirely. Wiped contacts return when reachable.
- Contact reachability: MeshPeer carries last_advert + reachable (path-based); UI shows
a reachability dot.
- Peers list: contact search box (filter by name/DID/npub/pubkey) with a clear button.
- send_message routes stock contacts as plain native text (fixes garbled envelopes).

- mesh: stop broadcasting ARCHY:2 identity on the public channel (startup + every advert tick); receive path still parses inbound. No more public-channel spam.
- mesh assistant: trigger on !ai/!ask typed in 1:1 chat (was only the dead AssistQuery path + bare channel text); route the reply transport-aware via MeshService::send_message (Tor for federation peers, LoRa for radio) through a new AssistChatReply event consumed at the server layer — fixes replies never reaching federation askers.
- mesh assistant: per-contact !ai allowlist (allowed_contacts) bypassing trusted_only; config + RPC + is_sender_allowed.
- fedimint-clientd manifest: network_policy open -> bridge (invalid value made the loader skip the whole manifest, so fmcd never ran and federations never joined/listed).
- ui: AI panel — Claude model dropdown (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus presets) + allowlist contact picker.
- ui: Settings — App Updates + App Registry moved under Account.
- ui: mesh chat — overscroll-behavior: contain so chat scroll no longer bleeds to the contacts panel.

Adds the assistant scheduler, MeshAssistantPanel UI, and the remaining
config-RPC / live-toggle / Ollama-detect wiring on top of Phase 1.x.

Phase 2 backend. AssistantConfig is now live-updatable (RwLock) so the UI
toggle applies without a listener restart. New RPCs:
- mesh.assistant-status -> {enabled, model, trusted_only, default_model,
ollama_detected, models[]} (probes local Ollama :11434/api/tags)
- mesh.assistant-configure -> set enabled/model/trusted_only live + persist
MeshService::assistant_config / configure_assistant. Compiles clean.

The ARCHY:2 identity broadcast (DID + ed25519 + x25519) was unwired dead
code on both send and receive. Wiring it lets a radio peer prove its
archipelago identity, so the assistant's trusted-only gate (and encrypted
DMs) work over meshcore AND Meshtastic — the latter otherwise only exposes
synthetic node keys.
- session.rs: broadcast ARCHY:2 as channel text at startup + each advert tick
- frames.rs: parse inbound ARCHY:2 on the channel path, dedupe-keyed by
archipelago pubkey (federation_peer_contact_id) so it MERGES with the
federation-seeded peer instead of duplicating; self-echo guarded
- threads our_x25519_secret into handle_channel_payload (was reserved)
Reuses the existing handle_identity_received verifier (ed/x25519 consistency
check + shared-secret derivation). Compiles clean. Needs a live 2-radio test
before trusting trusted-only over radio.

A plain '!ai <q>' / '!ask <q>' on the channel is now answered by the node's
local model and broadcast back as plain text, so ANY client (bare meshcore
or Meshtastic) can ask. Generalised run_assist with an AssistReply target:
Typed chunks to a peer (archipelago UI path) vs plain channel-text (bare
clients). Trust/rate gate unchanged; asker identity is separate from reply
mode. Works over both radios.

federation.remove-node only edited nodes.json, so a removed/renamed node
(e.g. a stale "Arch HP") lingered in the mesh chat list with its old
thread. Capture the node's pubkey before removal, then purge its
synthetic mesh peer, shared secret, messages, presence, and persisted
contact entry via the new mesh::purge_federation_peer. Combined with the
#42 name refresh, stale federation contacts can now be fully cleaned from
a node.

Messaging a federation-only peer (e.g. 'Arch Dev') failed with 'Missing
contact_id'. The UI gave federation-only rows a *negative* placeholder
contact_id derived from a DID hash, but the backend parses contact_id as u64,
so a negative value deserialized to None. The negative id also never matched
the positive federation-synthetic id that federation-routed messages are stored
under, so those threads looked empty.
- Frontend: derive the SAME positive federation-synthetic id the backend uses
(federationContactId mirrors federation_peer_contact_id) so mesh.send accepts
it and messages thread correctly.
- Backend: send_typed_wire now resolves a federation-synthetic contact_id from
nodes.json when it isn't in the live mesh peer table (radio-less node),
instead of bailing 'Unknown federation peer'.

User: chat history (messages + mesh/Tor contacts) must persist and be
secure/encrypted per best practice. Root cause of the .198 loss was the B17
mount race writing empty stores over real data (B17 already fixes the trigger);
this hardens storage so it can never silently lose or expose data:
- storage_crypto: shared at-rest envelope mirroring credentials::store — key =
SHA-256(domain ‖ node identity key) (seed-derived, per-store domain
separation), ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD with a random 96-bit nonce, tamper-evident.
Transparent migration of legacy plaintext files. Unit-tested (round-trip,
wrong-key/tamper rejection, plaintext detection).
- messages.json: encrypted at rest + ATOMIC write (temp+rename) so a crash/
reboot mid-write cannot corrupt history; decrypt-with-migration on load; a
failed decrypt never overwrites the on-disk data.
- mesh contacts (alias/notes/pinned/blocked): were ONLY in memory and lost on
every restart — now persisted to mesh-contacts.json (encrypted, atomic),
loaded on MeshState startup, saved after contacts-save/contacts-block.
Explicit clear (mesh.clear-all) still wipes everything, as intended.

B1/B2: the same physical node can linger in the federation list under two
dids (e.g. after a did/key change). An onion is a node's unique stable
identity, so two entries with the same onion are one node. This showed the
node twice in the trusted-node list (B1) and as two mesh chat contacts —
one by name+logo, one by raw did (B2).
- storage::load_nodes now collapses same-onion entries (keep first, merge
fips_npub/name/last_state) so every consumer (list + chat seed + sync)
sees one entry per node.
- federation::sync merge_transitive_peers also matches by onion (not just
did) so new transitive hints don't re-add a known node under a new did.
- mesh::seed_federation_peers_into_mesh skips already-seeded onions (belt
and suspenders).
- Unit tests for dedup_nodes_by_onion (collapse + onion-suffix handling).
B4: filebrowser-client.listDirectory only checked res.ok before res.json(),
so when File Browser is absent (nginx serves the SPA index.html, 200) or
down (502) the JSON parse threw the opaque "Unexpected token '<'". Now it
checks the content-type and throws a friendly "File Browser is not
available" the Cloud view already renders as an empty state.
Verified: dedup unit tests 2/2; live .198 (15 entries→13 distinct onions)
restarted healthy on new binary; B4 guard present in built bundle + deployed.

Several tests had drifted from the current production behavior:
- identity_manager: create() already auto-provisions a Nostr key, so the
explicit create_nostr_key() call failed with "already exists". Rewrite
the test to assert on record.nostr_npub from create() directly.
- mesh/protocol: test_build_app_start read the app name from frame[4..]
but the v2 layout is [0:marker][1-2:len][3:cmd][4:version][5..:name].
test_identity_broadcast_roundtrip expected input DID = output DID but
the v2 decoder derives DID from the ed25519 pubkey, so the roundtrip
compares against did_key_from_pubkey_hex(&pub) now.
- mesh/bitcoin_relay: test_build_block_header_announcement asserted
sig.is_some(), but the builder intentionally emits an unsigned envelope
to fit the 160-byte LoRa limit; assert sig.is_none(). Also widen
placeholder hashes to the required 64 hex chars (32 bytes).
- update: load_mirrors() now merges default mirrors post-migration, so
the roundtrip test must assert the custom mirror survives alongside
the defaults rather than strict equality.
- wallet/cashu: test_proof_c_as_pubkey used hex that is not on the curve;
replace with the secp256k1 generator point G so parsing succeeds.
- fips: test_status_reports_no_key_pre_onboarding asserted npub.is_none(),
which fails on dev boxes where the fips daemon is already running. Keep
the !key_present assertion and drop the npub one.
is_expired used age > ttl_secs, so a message with ttl_secs=0 whose age
rounded to 0 seconds was considered live forever. Switch to >= so the
zero-TTL boundary expires on the first check, matching the intuitive
meaning of TTL and the behavior the tests assert.
Follow-up to 1fb71b4b on the same v1.7.0-alpha line.
Identity avatars
• New module `avatar.rs` generates two deterministic SVG styles keyed
off the pubkey: a 5×5 mirrored identicon for sub-identities and a
hexagonal-network motif for the master (seed index 0) identity.
Both returned as base64 data URLs, so a fresh identity has a
recognisable picture before the user uploads anything.
• `IdentityManager::create()` and `create_from_seed()` populate
`profile.picture` on creation. Index 0 gets the node SVG; all
other seed-derived + ad-hoc identities get the identicon.
Blob store — public flag for profile assets
• `BlobMeta.public` (default false) added; `BlobStore::put()` takes
a `public: bool`. Missing in legacy meta files = false.
• `POST /api/blob` now stores uploads with public=true and returns
`public_url` alongside `self_test_url`. public_url is
`http://<node-onion>/blob/<cid>` (no cap) if Tor has published the
archipelago hidden service, else falls back to the local path.
• `GET /blob/<cid>` bypasses the HMAC capability check when the
requested blob is flagged public — external Nostr clients fetching
a kind-0 `picture` URL can't hold a cap.
• Mesh callers (content_ref attachments, dispatch rehydration) pin
public=false explicitly so nothing leaks out of the mesh path.
Profile editor UX
• Collapsed Save + Save & Publish into one button — the Save action
now persists locally AND publishes the kind-0 metadata event in
one step. Uploads store `public_url` into `profile.picture` /
`profile.banner` so the published URL is reachable by external
clients.
Update client — the 15-second cliff
• Frontend `rpcClient.call` for `update.download` now has an
explicit 30-minute timeout (was falling back to the default 15 s).
`update.apply` gets 5 min, `update.git-apply` gets 15 min. Matches
what the backend is actually willing to wait for.
• Backend `load_state()` reconciles `state.current_version` with
`CARGO_PKG_VERSION` on every start. Sideloaded or reflashed nodes
were stuck advertising the old version even with a new binary in
place, which kept re-offering the same release as an update.
Manifest changelog rewritten for fleet readers per the saved feedback
(no function names, no file paths). Artefacts refreshed:
binary 12f838c5…5ba82d 40381864
frontend dc3b63af…e9a8370 76984288
