# Mesh Phase 4 Completion + Phase 5 Implementation

## Context

Mesh Phases 1-3 are complete: serial driver, transport layer (Mesh>LAN>Tor), Double Ratchet encryption, typed messages, store-and-forward, chat UI. Phase 4 is 40% done — data structures, builders, and tests exist (`bitcoin_relay.rs`, `alerts.rs`, `message_types.rs`) but nothing is wired into the listener, MeshService, or RPC layer. Phase 5 (steganographic modes, adaptive routing, multi-hardware) is not started.

## Phase 4: Wire Up Off-Grid Bitcoin Operations (Weeks 8-11)

### Week 8: Typed Message Dispatch in Listener

**The critical foundation — everything else depends on this.**

**`mesh/listener.rs`:**
- Add `MeshCommand::SendRaw { dest_pubkey_prefix: [u8; 6], payload: Vec<u8> }` and `BroadcastChannel { channel: u8, payload: Vec<u8> }` variants
- In `handle_frame()`: after extracting message bytes, check for `0x02` TypedEnvelope prefix
- New `handle_typed_message()` dispatches by type:
  - `BlockHeader` → validate Ed25519 sig, store in `BlockHeaderCache`, emit event
  - `TxRelay` → spawn task: Bitcoin RPC `sendrawtransaction`, send `TxRelayResponse` back
  - `TxRelayResponse` → complete pending in `RelayTracker`, store as MeshMessage
  - `LightningRelay` → spawn task: LND REST `payinvoice`, send response back
  - `LightningRelayResponse` → complete pending, store
  - `Alert` → verify sig, store, emit `MeshEvent::AlertReceived`
- Handle `SendRaw` and `BroadcastChannel` in `tokio::select!` command dispatch

**`mesh/types.rs`:** New `MeshEvent` variants: `BlockHeaderReceived`, `AlertReceived`, `TxRelayCompleted`, `LightningRelayCompleted`

**Key design:** Spawn separate tokio tasks for Bitcoin/LND HTTP calls (don't block serial read loop). Response sent back via `cmd_tx` channel.

### Week 9: MeshService Integration + Dead Man's Switch Task

**`mesh/mod.rs`:**
- Add fields: `block_header_cache: Arc<BlockHeaderCache>`, `relay_tracker: Arc<RelayTracker>`, `dead_man_switch: Arc<DeadManSwitch>`, `signing_key: ed25519_dalek::SigningKey`
- Init in `new()`, pass cache + tracker into listener via `MeshState`
- Accessor methods for RPC layer

**Dead Man background task** (spawned in `start()`):
- Check every 60s: if triggered → build signed alert → broadcast on channel 0 + direct to emergency contacts
- Persist `last_check_in_time` as unix timestamp on disk (survives restarts)

### Week 10: RPC Endpoints

**`api/rpc/mesh.rs`** — New handlers:

| Endpoint | Params | Description |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| `mesh.relay-tx` | `{ tx_hex }` | Queue TX for relay via internet peer |
| `mesh.block-headers` | `{ count? }` | Return cached block headers |
| `mesh.relay-lightning` | `{ bolt11, amount_sats }` | Queue LN invoice for payment |
| `mesh.deadman-status` | — | Query switch state |
| `mesh.deadman-configure` | `{ enabled, interval_secs, lat, lng, contacts, custom_message }` | Configure |
| `mesh.deadman-checkin` | — | Heartbeat reset |

**Fix `mesh.send-invoice`:** Replace placeholder bolt11 with real LND `POST /v1/invoices` call.

**`api/rpc/mod.rs`:** Register all new routes (~line 643).

### Week 11: Block Header Announcer + Frontend

**Backend:** Optional background task: poll Bitcoin Core `getblockchaininfo` every 30s → on new block → signed announcement → broadcast channel 0. Config: `announce_block_headers: bool`.

**Frontend `stores/mesh.ts`:** New methods for all Phase 4 RPC calls.

**Frontend `views/Mesh.vue`:**
- "Off-Grid Bitcoin" panel: block height, headers, TX relay form, LN relay form
- "Dead Man's Switch" panel: enable/disable, interval, GPS, contacts, countdown, check-in
- Uses `.path-option-card`, `.glass-button`, `.info-card`

## Phase 5: Mesh Network Intelligence (Weeks 12-15)

### Week 12: Steganographic Modes

**New: `mesh/steganography.rs`**

- `SteganographyMode` enum: `Normal`, `WeatherStation`, `SensorNetwork`
- **Weather Station:** Map payload bytes → plausible weather readings (temp, humidity, pressure, wind). Marker `0xAA` replaces `0x02`.
- **Sensor Network:** Industrial sensor format (voltage, current, vibration)
- `to_wire_steganographic(mode)` / `from_wire_steganographic(data)` on TypedEnvelope
- Listener detects `0xAA` → decode stego → normal dispatch
- Config: `steganography_mode` in `MeshConfig`
- Budget: ~80 bytes real data per 160-byte LoRa frame with stego overhead

### Week 13: Adaptive Routing & Signal Intelligence

**New: `mesh/routing.rs`**

- `LinkQuality` per peer: RSSI/SNR rolling 1h history, packet loss, hop count
- `RoutingTable`: link quality per peer + best route per destination DID
- Score: `(rssi+120)*0.4 + (snr+20)*0.3 + (1-loss)*100*0.3`
- Best relay selection for TX/LN relay (highest quality peer with internet)
- Multi-hop forwarding: if dest DID != ours and hops < 3, forward to best next-hop
- Extract RSSI from v3 frames (bytes 1-2, currently unused)
- RPC: `mesh.routing-table`

### Week 14: LoRa Radio Parameter Control

**`mesh/protocol.rs`:** Builders for `SET_RADIO_PARAMS` (0x0B), `SET_TX_POWER` (0x0C), `SET_TUNING_PARAMS` (0x15). Parse `RESP_STATS` (0x18).

**RPC:** `mesh.set-radio-params`, `mesh.set-tx-power`, `mesh.get-radio-stats`

**Auto-adaptive SF:** If link quality drops → increase spreading factor (longer range, slower). Config toggle.

**Frontend:** Radio tuning panel with SF/TX power sliders, stats, auto-adaptive toggle.

### Week 15: Multi-Hardware + Topology UI

**New: `mesh/device_trait.rs`**

```rust
#[async_trait]
pub trait MeshDevice: Send + Sync {
    async fn open(path: &str) -> Result<Self> where Self: Sized;
    async fn initialize(&mut self) -> Result<DeviceInfo>;
    async fn send_text(&mut self, dest: &[u8; 6], msg: &[u8]) -> Result<()>;
    async fn try_recv_frame(&mut self) -> Result<Option<InboundFrame>>;
    // ...
}
```

- Implement for `MeshcoreDevice`, stub Meshtastic/WiFi/BLE
- `listener.rs` uses `Box<dyn MeshDevice>`
- **Topology UI:** SVG graph (this node center, peers as satellites), edge thickness = quality, color = green/yellow/red, tooltips with RSSI/SNR/hops
- Stego mode selector, block relay status panel

## Key Challenges

1. **TX hex > 160 bytes:** Use Reed-Solomon chunking (already in `transport/chunking.rs`)
2. **Async in listener:** Spawn tasks for Bitcoin/LND calls, don't block serial loop
3. **Dead man false triggers:** Persist check-in time as unix timestamp on disk
4. **Stego overhead:** ~80 bytes real data per 160-byte frame

## Files Modified

**Phase 4:**
- `core/archipelago/src/mesh/listener.rs` — typed dispatch, new MeshCommand variants
- `core/archipelago/src/mesh/mod.rs` — new fields, init, background tasks
- `core/archipelago/src/mesh/types.rs` — new MeshEvent variants
- `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/mesh.rs` — 6+ new endpoints, fix send-invoice
- `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/mod.rs` — register routes
- `neode-ui/src/stores/mesh.ts` — new store methods
- `neode-ui/src/views/Mesh.vue` — off-grid + dead man panels

**Phase 5 new files:**

## Existing Code to Reuse

- `bitcoin_relay.rs`: `BlockHeaderCache`, `RelayTracker`, all `build_*` functions
- `alerts.rs`: `DeadManSwitch`, `AlertConfig`, `load_config`/`save_config`
- `message_types.rs`: All payload types, `TypedEnvelope`, `encode_payload`/`decode_payload`
- `api/rpc/lnd.rs:128-141`: `lnd_client()` pattern for LND REST calls
- `api/rpc/bitcoin.rs:74-107`: `bitcoin_rpc_call()` for Bitcoin Core RPC
- `transport/chunking.rs`: Reed-Solomon FEC for payloads > 160 bytes

## Verification

```bash
# Unit tests on server
ssh archipelago@192.168.1.228 'cd ~/archy/core && source ~/.cargo/env && cargo test --all-features -- mesh'

# Type check frontend
cd neode-ui && npm run type-check

# Deploy to both
./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --both

# E2E tests:
# 1. .228 (internet) relays TX from .198 (mesh-only)
# 2. .228 announces block headers, .198 receives them
# 3. Dead man's switch triggers after interval, broadcasts alert
# 4. Steganographic packet looks like weather data on wire
```
