Introduced consistent preferences for external LoRa FEM RX and TX gain settings in NodePrefs. Updated companion MyMesh to apply these settings during initialization and transmission. Added unit tests to verify the round-trip serialization of these new preferences.
Switch ESP32-S3 KISS modem environments to HWCDC and move outbound KISS writes to a non-blocking queued frame path so loop() and TX completion keep progressing when the host reads slowly. Add native backpressure regression tests and correct the native_kiss_modem test filter so this suite runs directly with pio test.
hasSeen() was simultaneously a predicate and a mutator — it inserted the
packet hash on every miss, making five call sites that only wanted to mark
a packet as sent call it with the return value discarded.
Split into:
- wasSeen() — pure predicate, no side effects
- markSeen() — explicit insert
All query sites now call markSeen() immediately after wasSeen() returns
false, preserving identical runtime behaviour. The five mark-only send
sites (sendFlood, sendDirect, sendZeroHop x2) now call markSeen directly.
Also fixes three bridge sites (BridgeBase, ESPNowBridge, RS232Bridge)
that had the same query+implicit-insert pattern.
Tests: add test/test_mesh_tables/ covering wasSeen purity, markSeen,
dup stats, and clear. Update SHA256 mock to produce deterministic output
(previously finalize() was a no-op). Add Packet.cpp to native build filter.
