 MeshCore now supports a range of LoRa devices, allowing for easy flashing without the need to compile firmware manually. Users can flash a pre-built binary using tools like Adafruit ESPTool and interact with the network through a serial console.
-MeshCore provides the ability to create wireless mesh networks, similar to Meshtastic and Reticulum but with a focus on lightweight multi-hop packet routing for embedded projects. Unlike Meshtastic, which is tailored for casual LoRa communication, or Reticulum, which offers advanced networking, MeshCore balances simplicity with scalability, making it ideal for custom embedded solutions., where devices (nodes) can communicate over long distances by relaying messages through intermediate nodes. This is especially useful in off-grid, emergency, or tactical situations where traditional communication infrastructure is unavailable.

-- When a BLE central disconnects unexpectedly (reason=8 supervision timeout),
-  the BLE_GATTS_EVT_HVN_TX_COMPLETE event may never fire
-- This leaves the _hvn_sem counting semaphore in a decremented state
-- Since BLEConnection objects are reused (destructor never called), the

+#### Define region hierarchy (single line)
+**Usage:**
+- `region def <token> [<token> ...]`
+
+**Parameters (tokens):** Space-separated. A logical **cursor** starts at the wildcard `*`.
+
+- **`name`** — Create `name` as a child of the current cursor (equivalent to `region put name` with the cursor as parent). Cursor moves to `name`.
+- **`name|jump`** *(or `name,jump`)* — Create `name` as a child of the current cursor, then move the cursor to `jump` (must already exist on the node, or have been created earlier in this command). `jump` is **not** the parent of `name`; use this form to pop back up and start another branch.
+
+**Behavior:** Each created region defaults to flood-allowed (same as `region put`). The reply is the resulting region tree (same format as bare `region`); review it before running `region save` to persist. On error, the reply is `Err - ...` and any regions placed before the failure remain on the node, just like a partial chain of `region put`.
+
+**Existing regions:** `region def` does not clear the existing tree — if a name already exists, its parent is updated to the current cursor; otherwise a new region is created. To start from scratch, `region remove` the unwanted regions first.
+
+**Limits:** Repeater serial accepts one line up to **160 characters**. For larger trees, split across multiple `region def` commands; the cursor resets to `*` between commands, so lead the next command with `child|ancestor` to reposition. Each token splits at most once on `|` — `region def a|b|c|d` is not a flat-list shorthand; see the flat-list example below.
+
+**Example — linear chain** (each token becomes a child of the previous):
+```
+region def a b c d e
+region save
+```
+
+**Example — branched tree** (equivalent to `region put a`, `region put b a`, `region put c b`, `region put d c`, `region put e b`, `region put f e`):
+```
+region def a b c d|b e f
+region save
+```
+
+**Example — error and partial state:**
+```
+region def a b c|nope d
+```
+The reply is `Err - unknown jump: nope`. `a`, `b`, and `c` were placed before the failure; `d` was not. Run `region` to inspect, then re-run with a corrected jump or repair with `region remove` / `region put`.
+
+**Example — flat list** (each region a child of `*`). Use `|*` after each token to pop the cursor back to the root before the next token:
+```

+
+**Command Format**:
+```
+Byte 0:                         0x3E

+
+**Inbound datagrams** are delivered to the host via `RESP_CODE_CHANNEL_DATA_RECV` (0x1B); see [Receive Channel Data Datagram](#receive-channel-data-datagram).
+
+#### Registered `data_type` values
+
+`data_type` is an **application identifier**, not a payload-format identifier. Each registered value identifies an application that owns its own internal payload schemas. The firmware does not inspect payload contents — `data_type` is transported opaquely.

+### Receive Channel Data Datagram
+
+Inbound group datagrams (radio-level `PAYLOAD_TYPE_GRP_DATA`, 0x06) are forwarded to the host as `RESP_CODE_CHANNEL_DATA_RECV` notifications.
+
+**Frame Format** (`RESP_CODE_CHANNEL_DATA_RECV`, 0x1B):
+```
+Byte 0:                 0x1B (packet type)
+Byte 1:                 SNR (signed int8, scaled ×4 — divide by 4.0 to recover dB)
+Bytes 2-3:              Reserved (clients MUST ignore)
+Byte 4:                 Channel Index (0-7)
+Byte 5:                 Path Length (actual path length when flooded, otherwise 0xFF for direct)
+Bytes 6-7:              Data Type (uint16 little-endian)
+Byte 8:                 Data Length
+Bytes 9 .. 8+data_len:  Payload
+```
+
+**Path bytes are not forwarded**: Only `path_len` is reported in the receive frame — the path itself is not copied to the host. There are no path bytes between byte 5 and the data_type field at bytes 6–7, regardless of `path_len`.
+
+**Path Length semantics differ between send and receive**:
+
+| Direction | `path_len = 0xFF`               | `path_len ≠ 0xFF`                                                                                                                           |
+|-----------|---------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Send      | Flood the network               | Direct route; the encoded path follows (low 6 bits = hash count, top 2 bits + 1 = hash size; on-wire byte count = `hash_count × hash_size`) |
+| Receive   | Packet arrived via direct route | Packet was flooded; this is the encoded `pkt->path_len` field as observed (no path bytes follow)                                            |
+
+In other words, the meaning of `0xFF` is inverted between the two directions, and on receive the field carries metadata only — never a routable path. `path_len` is an encoded byte (see `Packet::isValidPathLen` / `Packet::writePath` in `src/Packet.cpp`), not a raw byte count.
+
+**Note**: The device may also emit `PACKET_MESSAGES_WAITING` (0x83) to notify the host that datagrams are queued; poll with `CMD_SYNC_NEXT_MESSAGE` (0x0A) to retrieve them.
+
+**Parsing Pseudocode**:
+```python
+def parse_channel_data_recv(data):
+    if len(data) < 9:
+        return None
+    snr_byte = data[1]
+    snr = (snr_byte if snr_byte < 128 else snr_byte - 256) / 4.0

+### Terminology
+
+This document uses a spec-level naming convention (`PACKET_*`) for bytes the firmware sends back to the host. In the firmware source these same values are split across two `#define` families by purpose:
+
+- `RESP_CODE_*` — direct replies to a command (e.g. `RESP_CODE_CHANNEL_DATA_RECV` = `PACKET_CHANNEL_DATA_RECV` = 0x1B).
+- `PUSH_CODE_*` — asynchronous notifications not tied to a specific command (e.g. `PUSH_CODE_MSG_WAITING` = `PACKET_MESSAGES_WAITING` = 0x83).
+
+Byte values are authoritative; names are aliases. When reading firmware source, `RESP_CODE_X` / `PUSH_CODE_X` correspond to this doc's `PACKET_X` of the same numeric value.

 The plaintext contained in the ciphertext matches the format described in [plain text message](#plain-text-message). Specifically, it consists of a four byte timestamp, a flags byte, and the message. The flags byte will generally be `0x00` because it is a "plain text message". The message will be of the form `<sender name>: <message body>` (eg., `user123: I'm on my way`).
