# Filter policy playground

Build a forwarding policy, see its readable definition, and simulate how a
repeater handles a packet. Rules match received packet facts, then apply actions
such as dropping, scoping, rate-limiting, or retrying a flood.

Everything runs locally in this browser. Channel keys, packet facts, and policy
drafts are not uploaded anywhere.

<div class="filter-design-warning" role="note">
  <strong>Policy design preview</strong>
  <p>
    The phases and core conditions model current FPF7 behavior, including its
    forward rows, scope rewrites, and shared blacklist. The readable policy
    language, JSON, and Base64 bundle are still a prototype: current firmware
    is configured with <code>set flood.*</code> commands and cannot install a
    bundle from this page.
  </p>
</div>

## Build a policy

Start with an example or build a rule, then test the draft against packet facts
in the simulator below. The examples draw from
[Flood Filtering and Moderation](flood_filtering.md).

  <div class="filter-management-safety" role="note">
    <strong>Remote login and direct routes</strong>
    <p>
      This policy only decides whether a relay retransmits a flood. Direct
      packets and local delivery are unaffected. Rules matching the login/admin
      family can still reduce multi-hop remote-login reach, so the analyzer
      flags them.

## Payload type reference

Use an exact `type=` value when a rule should match only one payload type.
The class column shows which broader selector also matches it.

| `type=` value | Payload | Class |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `req` | Request | `class:login` |
| `response` | Response | `class:login` |
| `txt_msg` | Peer text message | `class:login` |
| `ack` | Acknowledgment | `class:other` |
| `advert` | Node advertisement | `class:other` |
| `grp_txt` | Group-channel text | `class:group` |
| `grp_data` | Group-channel datagram | `class:group` |
| `anon_req` | Anonymous request | `class:login` |
| `path` | Returned path | `class:login` |
| `trace` | Path trace | `class:other` |
| `multipart` | One frame in a multipart sequence | `class:other` |
| `control` | Control or discovery data | `class:other` |
| `ota` | OTA-over-LoRa data | `class:other` |
| `13` | Reserved payload type 13 | `class:other` |
| `14` | Reserved payload type 14 | `class:other` |
| `raw_custom` | Application-defined raw data | `class:other` |

## Current FPF7 command mapping

| Firmware command | FPF7 role |
| --- | --- |
| `flood.rule` / `flood.filter` | Forward-phase match and action rows |
| `flood.channel.data` | Compatibility view over one visible `type=grp_data` forward drop row |
| `flood.channel.scope` | Scope-rewrite phase rows |
| `flood.filter.blacklist` | One shared unordered path-ID set referenced by `path=blacklist` rows |

Generalized repeaters expose 63 forward rows and commit those sections
together. The blacklist is useful
for refusing to retransmit floods associated with internet gateways dumping
bulk traffic, but a path ID is truncated and unauthenticated; it identifies a
routing pattern, not a person.

## Proposed evaluation contract

The simulator uses these rules:

1. Only flood retransmission enters the policy. Direct routing and local packet
   delivery remain outside it.
2. Every matcher reads the same immutable receive-time packet facts.
3. Rules run by phase, descending priority, then stable rule ID.
4. A drop decision is sticky and cannot be undone by a later rule.
5. The first matching scope, timing, queue, and retry action in execution order
   wins.
6. All matching token-bucket rate constraints remain attached to the decision.
7. `stop=phase` skips later rules in that phase. `stop=policy` skips later
   configurable rules, but never mandatory packet validation or radio safety.
8. Shadow rules report what they would do without changing the decision or
   stopping other rules.
9. Expensive facts such as channel-key matching, decryption, and path-table
   lookup are resolved once per packet and reused by every matching rule.

The byte-budget display is deliberately approximate until the packed firmware
codec exists. It demonstrates why simple mappings should not reserve a maximum-
sized structure for every possible condition and action.
