Sending a mesh message to a federation-only contact (e.g. 'Arch Dev') failed with 'Missing contact_id', especially on radio-less nodes.

Root cause: 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.

Fixed in commit 1ea3f8d6:

  • Frontend derives the same positive federation-synthetic id the backend uses (federationContactId mirrors federation_peer_contact_id).
  • Backend send_typed_wire 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'.

Pending live deploy verification.
