agessaman 0d12ec7d79 fix(mqtt): defer the stale-token reconnect when the mint fails
The corrected-clock path reconnected a disconnected slot whether or not
createSlotAuthToken() had produced anything, which re-presented the credentials
the correction had just invalidated. Minting fails for recoverable reasons —
allocation pressure is treated as recoverable elsewhere in this file — so the
path is reachable, and the reconnect it spends is one that cannot succeed.

Move the decision into MQTTConnectionPolicy as classifyStaleToken(), where the
four outcomes are named and host-tested rather than spelled out in nested
conditions: Defer on a failed mint, Reconnect a client that is down, Bounce a
live session whose broker enforces exp, KeepAlive one whose broker does not.
Deferring leaves the slot to the backoff ladder, which mints again on its next
attempt.

Covers the reviewer's first four cases. The other two — that a completed SNTP
sync is required, and that time(nullptr) reflects the accepted epoch before
_ntp_synced flips — are inside MQTTBridge.cpp, which the native env does not
compile; locking those down needs a seam around the IDF calls that does not
exist yet.

Host unit tests

Fast, hardware-free unit tests for the fork's pure logic, run on the host with GoogleTest via PlatformIO's native environment. They cover the extractable observer/WebConfig logic (validation, preset table, topic templates, key parsing) — the parts that don't depend on the ESP32, radio, or network stack. Integration behavior (AsyncTCP transport, WiFi/MQTT, SoftAP) is exercised separately; see "Local testing without hardware" in MQTT_IMPLEMENTATION.md.

Running

pio test -e native                      # all suites
pio test -e native -f test_webconfig_keys   # a single suite

A green [PASSED] per suite means GoogleTest returned 0 (all assertions passed). PlatformIO's "0 test cases" line is just its Unity-style counter and does not reflect the GoogleTest count — run the built binary directly (.pio/build/native/program) to see the per-assertion breakdown.

Suites

Suite Source under test Covers
test_mqtt_presets src/helpers/MQTTPresets.h preset lookup; table integrity (unique names, non-empty URLs, JWT-audience invariant, names fit the slot buffer); mqttPresetNeedsSlotCredentials; slot-count constants
test_observer_validation src/helpers/MQTTObserverValidation.h IATA (exactly 3 alphanumerics), owner key (64 hex), NTP hostname, and the buffer-fit check behind the #17 length validation — including boundaries and nulls
test_webconfig_keys src/helpers/WebConfigKeys.h POST-key allowlist, secret detection, admin-password classification/validation, slot-index bounds, and the short-key out-of-bounds guard (attacker-supplied keys)
test_topic_template src/helpers/MQTTTopicTemplate.h {iata}/{device}/{token}/{type} expansion, overflow/NUL-termination, and a buffer-size fuzz
test_mqtt_topic_router src/helpers/MQTTTopicRouter.h complete preset/custom topic-routing contract; MeshRank all types except raw; required identifiers; invalid inputs/slots; exact buffer boundaries
test_mqtt_connection_policy src/helpers/MQTTConnectionPolicy.h reconnect guard/backoff/stagger and breaker transitions; stable reset; JWT lifetime/renewal policy; exact timing boundaries and 32-bit millis() rollover

Conventions (and how to add a suite)

  • Each test/test_<name>/ directory builds into its own GoogleTest program and must define its own main() (::testing::InitGoogleTest + RUN_ALL_TESTS).
  • Tests are host-only: include only pure headers. Arduino/crypto stubs live in test/mocks/ (on the include path via -I test/mocks).
  • Firmware headers are included from src (via -I src, e.g. #include "helpers/MQTTPresets.h"). Some are guarded or ESP-flavored, so a suite may need shims before the include — e.g. test_mqtt_presets does #define WITH_MQTT_BRIDGE 1 (the preset table is behind that flag) and #define PROGMEM (the embedded CA-cert strings are PROGMEM-qualified).
  • To add a suite: create test/test_<name>/test_<name>.cpp with a main(), and add any host-only source it links to the native env's build_src_filter in platformio.ini (header-only code needs no source entry). No other wiring.
  • Keep logic testable by extracting pure functions into headers (as MQTTObserverValidation.h / WebConfigKeys.h / MQTTTopicTemplate.h do) and having the firmware call the same functions.
