Sylvain Rabot a2ea18f778 perf(sqlite): swap modernc.org/sqlite for mattn/go-sqlite3, cross-built with zig (#1992)
Swaps the SQLite driver from `modernc.org/sqlite` (pure Go, SQLite
3.46.0) to `github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3` (cgo, bundled SQLite 3.53.4),
and pays the resulting cross-compilation cost with `zig cc`.

Draft because the riskiest part of this deletes rows — see [Please
review this part first](#please-review-this-part-first) — and because
three things remain unverified at the bottom.

`modernc.org/sqlite` is a transpilation of the C amalgamation. This repo
is read-heavy: `cmd/server` chunk-loads a graph at startup and fans out
neighbour/topology/analytics queries per request, and it pays for that
transpilation on exactly those paths. Head-to-head on the same
120k-transmission / 240k-observation database, running our own hot-path
SQL under both drivers (Apple M4, `-count=5`, medians):

| workload | modernc | mattn | |
|---|---:|---:|---|
| chunk load (`chunked_load.go` v3 join, 20k tx) | 449ms | 196ms |
**2.3×** |
| aggregate scan (240k-row join + `GROUP BY`) | 276ms | 137ms | **2.0×**
|
| 1500 prepared-statement lookups | 512ms | 403ms | **1.3×** |

Allocations fall with it: 1.12M vs 1.64M allocs and 21MB vs 30MB on the
chunk load.

**Superseded by a production run.** @efiten measured both drivers on a
real instance — 11,077,038 observations, 9.7GB database, 4-core arm64 —
as server-only containers against the same live volume, one at a time,
with round 2 reversing the order so the page cache favours the old
driver:

| | audit 7d | audit 24h | background fill (13 chunks) | start →
/api/health |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| modernc, round 1 | 16.67s | 2.27s | 130.2s | 16.6s |
| mattn, round 1 | 7.87s | 1.34s | 93.8s | 13.5s |
| mattn, round 2 | 8.15s | 1.35s | 96.4s | 13.0s |
| modernc, round 2 | 13.46s | 2.29s | 137.8s | 15.5s |

Warm, the old driver improves to 13.46s on the 7d audit and still loses
by ~1.8×. Chunk load is ~1.4×. `/api/nodes?limit=500` is 0.039s against
0.037s — nothing.

**So the real gain is ~1.4–1.8× on the paths that matter, not 2–2.3×.**
The shape the harness predicted holds — scans and joins gain, small
lookups do not — which is more reassuring than the magnitude would have
been. Quote these numbers.

**The counterweight**, cold and native on that machine: a build goes
from **52s to 163s**. An instance that builds its own image pays that
per deploy.

## The build is cgo now, and one thing about that is a trap

**`CGO_ENABLED=0` still builds.** mattn links a stub, and the binary
dies on its first query with `go-sqlite3 requires cgo to work. This is a
stub`. A green build is not evidence of anything here, which is why
`AGENTS.md` now says so explicitly. `GOOS=linux go build` genuinely
cannot cross-compile any more.

A new root `Makefile` is the entry point. `make crossbuild` uses `zig cc
-target {x86_64,aarch64}-linux-musl` and links static, so each artifact
stays a single self-contained file and the `alpine:3.20` runtime no
longer depends on the base image's libc at all.

`-Wl,-s` is load-bearing: Go's own `-s -w` does not reach the musl
objects zig links in, and without it the server binary is 19.8MB instead
of 12.1MB.

The Dockerfile keeps its single `$BUILDPLATFORM` builder — still no QEMU
for compilation — and gains a checksum-pinned zig plus BuildKit cache
mounts. The mounts are not a nicety: without them an image build
recompiles the amalgamation from cold and takes over half an hour.

## Please review this part first

`internal/dbschema/dedup_index.go` **deletes observation rows**. It is
the one part of this change that can lose data, and it exists because
the migration exposed a real bug rather than causing one.

`stmtInsertObservation` resolves its `ON CONFLICT` against
`idx_observations_dedup`, which `cmd/ingestor/db.go` only ever created
inside the branch that creates the `observations` table for the first
time. Any database whose table predates that branch never got one, so
the UPSERT had no conflict target. modernc failed on the first insert;
mattn fails at `OpenStore`. Same bug, found earlier.

Creating the index unconditionally repairs it — but the index is what
was supposed to prevent duplicates, so a database that never had it can
already hold rows violating it. **`test-fixtures/e2e-fixture.db` in this
repo holds one.** So duplicates are collapsed first. Refusing is not the
safer option: without the index the ingestor cannot prepare its UPSERT,
so it cannot start at all.

Replaying that UPSERT faithfully is subtler than it looks, and a first
cut of this got it wrong twice:

- `COALESCE(excluded.x, x)` means the **incoming** value wins, so down a
group in id order the survivor keeps the **last** non-NULL value. Taking
the first silently discarded newer readings.
- The UPSERT names exactly five columns (`snr`, `rssi`, `score`,
`raw_hex`, `resolved_path`). Every other column must keep the surviving
row's own value; merging those too invents history the ingestor would
never have written.

Merge, delete and `CREATE UNIQUE INDEX` now share one transaction. Split
apart, a writer inserting a duplicate in the gap fails the index
creation while leaving the deletions committed — rows destroyed and no
index to show for it.

Cost, measured on 2.4M synthetic rows holding 5 duplicates: **4.1s**,
holding the write lock throughout, once, at ingestor startup before MQTT
subscribe. Materialising the duplicate-group scan once rather than per
column took that from 9.7s; the pathological case (400k of 600k rows
duplicated) is 5.7s, slightly worse than the 4.2s it was before that
change.

## Four more behavioural differences

Full detail in `docs/sqlite-driver-migration.md`. Briefly:

**Statement preparation is eager.** modernc's `newStmt` stored the SQL
and compiled lazily; mattn calls `sqlite3_prepare_v2` inside `Prepare`,
so SQL naming a missing table fails at *open*. 59 server tests failed on
this alone, all fixtures with partial schemas. `OpenDB` keeps failing
loudly (#1901; `main.go` gates on `dbschema.AssertReady` anyway) and the
fixtures now declare what they are prepared against via
`ensurePreparable`. This also exposed nine `nodes(pubkey …)`
declarations across seven files, where production has only ever had
`public_key` — lazy compilation had hidden the mismatch for as long as
it existed.

**`synchronous` silently dropped FULL → NORMAL.** mattn defaults it to
NORMAL and executes the pragma unconditionally, where SQLite's own
default (what modernc left alone) is FULL. In WAL mode that weakens
durability under power loss. Pinned in `dbschema.WriterDSN`, which both
writers now share — `cmd/migrate` kept a bare path at first and so
quietly wrote at NORMAL, which is what a second copy of a DSN buys you.

**The DSN dialects are mutually invisible.** modernc understood only
`_pragma=name(value)`, mattn only `_`-prefixed parameters, and neither
errors on the other's form — a driver-only rename would have dropped
every pragma in silence. `_journal_mode=WAL` is also gone from the
server's read handle: modernc ignored it, mattn honours it, and setting
`journal_mode` on a read-only connection is a write. Dropping
`_busy_timeout` with it costs nothing, since mattn already defaults to
5000ms — which means the read handle finally *gets* the busy timeout it
had silently lacked.

**`mode=ro` survives for a non-obvious reason.** mattn always passes
`READWRITE|CREATE` and its amalgamation has `SQLITE_USE_URI=0`; what
makes the URI work is its C wrapper ORing `SQLITE_OPEN_URI` in. So the
#1283/#1289 invariant holds with no build flags — but it depends on the
`file:` prefix. `cmd/decrypt` had been building its DSN without one, so
its `mode=ro` had never applied and a missing path was created
read-write. Fixed in passing; never a migration regression.

## What did not change

No modernc-specific API was in use: no `RegisterFunction`, no
`*sqlite.Conn`, no `sqlite/lib` error constants, no `sql.Register`. No
`time.Time` is ever bound as a query argument, so driver time handling
is not in play. Both drivers convert declared
`DATE`/`DATETIME`/`TIMESTAMP` columns to `time.Time`, so
`/api/dropped-packets` keeps emitting `dropped_at` as RFC3339 — an
earlier draft "fixed" that with a `CAST` and would have been the
regression.

## Tests and CI

New regression tests, each written because something got through without
it:

- `TestEnsureObservationsDedupIndexKeepsLatestValues` — the merge
ordering. The original test used complementary NULLs, which passes
whichever direction you pick, which is why the bug survived it.
- `TestCollapseDuplicatesAndIndexIsAtomic` — a failed index creation
must roll the deletions back.
- `TestOpenStorePragmas` / `TestWriterDSNPragmas` — every writer pragma,
read back through the store's own connection. A separate `sqlite3`
session or the startup log line would prove nothing.
- `TestOpenDBRefusesMissingDatabase` — the read-only invariant, which
now rests on a detail of the driver's C wrapper.
- `TestEnsurePreparableMatchesPrepareStatements` — fails when a new
prepared statement outgrows the fixture helper.

CI gains test execution for `cmd/migrate` and `internal/dbschema`, which
had none and both open the database. A PR-time two-arch build plus an
arm64 QEMU smoke gate is new: the GHCR push is push/tag-only, so without
it nothing on a PR would exercise zig, static musl linking or arm64, and
the first signal would arrive on master. `cache-dependency-path` widens
from 2 of the 5 tracked `go.sum` files to all of them.

`make test` passes across all 14 modules, `cmd/server` also under `-race
-count=2` with no failures and no races. `gofmt` and `go vet` clean.
Release-routing and Dockerfile COPY-invariant gates pass.

## Verified by running

- All 8 cross-builds static and correct-architecture; both arches of the
container image built, exported and run under QEMU, serving
`/api/health` and `/api/nodes` against a 2.9M-observation production
snapshot.
- The `migrate` binary repairing that snapshot's duplicate on bare
Alpine.
- `CGO_ENABLED=0` producing a binary that builds and then fails on first
query.

## Not verified

- ~~The 2–2.3× figures come from a standalone harness, not this load
under the old driver.~~ **Closed** by @efiten's production run above,
which also corrected the multiplier.
- SQLite 3.46.0 → 3.53.4 query-planner differences on queries with no
total `ORDER BY`.
- Sustained live ingest through the new writer DSN, and the duplicate
collapse against a database an ingestor is actively writing to. Verified
against a static snapshot only, and the collapse is measured at 4.1s on
2.4M synthetic rows with 5 duplicates — well short of an 11M-row
instance. @efiten has offered a staging instance taking real MQTT
traffic; **this is the item to close before the PR leaves draft.**

An earlier revision of this branch shipped the dedup merge in the wrong
direction with a green test suite, and review then found three more
things in the same file: the repair gated on an error string, a
non-atomic TEMP table drop aimed at the wrong connection, and a deletion
whose only record was a row count. All fixed in ac7e8d38. Passing tests
did not establish safety here, which is why the deletion path wanted a
second pair of eyes rather than a rubber stamp.

efitenandClaude Opus 5 52b9474d7a feat(map): filter repeaters by region name (#1862) (#2022)
Fixes #1862

## What

Adds a **Region Scope** picker to the map controls: pick `#be` and the
map keeps the nodes that declare `#be` or were seen carrying `#be`
traffic. It combines with the #2006 scope-state filter and persists in
localStorage the same way. While a region is picked, a small "Region:
#be · reset" chip sits on the map itself, so the filter stays visible
when the controls panel is collapsed (the default on phones) and can be
cleared from there.

## API

`/api/nodes` and `/api/nodes/{pubkey}` gain two fields on repeater/room
rows:

- `declared_regions`: named regions from the node's newest
declared-regions answer, split by the same function the Scope Audit now
uses for `declaredRegions` (`splitDeclaredRegions`,
`cmd/server/scope_config_state.go`), so both pages list a repeater under
the same names. `[]` means it answered and named no region. Absent means
it never answered, other roles, no declared-regions source, or the
declared-regions lookup failed.
- `declared_regions_truncated`: present, and `true`, only when that
answer was flagged as truncated, so the list is partial. Never `false`:
the `nodes.configured_scope` source does not record truncation, so
absence does not mean the list is complete.

The observed side reuses `transported_scopes`. Documented in
`docs/api-spec.md` and the served OpenAPI spec.

### Why no `?hashRegion=` query parameter
The observed side lives in the in-memory store. Filtering it after the
SQL `LIMIT`/`OFFSET` would corrupt `total` and paging, and the map pages
through `/api/nodes`. Same reasoning as the Data path section of #2001.

## Map behaviour

- Filtering is client-side over the nodes `fetchAllNodes` already
loaded: no new request. One pass over the loaded nodes to build the
picker counts, one Set lookup per node per render. The marker filter is
`nodePassesMapFilters` (`public/map.js:219`) and the observer stand-down
`observerLayerShown` (`:212`), both exported and tested.
- The picker and hint count only nodes with a map position, the same
test the marker filter applies first, so a count never promises markers
the map cannot draw.
- The observer layer stands down while a region is picked, for the same
reason it does for the scope-state filter.
- The popup lists declared and observed regions separately. A truncated
declared answer carries the same `truncated` badge the Scope Audit
shows.
- Absence is not read as a finding: the hint under the picker says a
node left off the map is not proof it lacks the region.

## Tests

- Go: `node_declared_regions_api_test.go` covers `declared_regions` on
list and detail endpoints, the no-source case, agreement with
`/api/scope-audit`, `declared_regions_truncated` (truncated,
truncated-empty, complete, configured_scope-only, newer untruncated
answer, companion) and the OpenAPI schema.
- JS: `test-issue-1862-map-region-filter.js` (30 tests) covers the pure
pieces (evidence, counts, options, hint, popup rows,
`nodePassesMapFilters`, `observerLayerShown`) and, at page level, runs
the registered map page through `init()` and `loadNodes()` in a vm
sandbox: picker built from loaded nodes, markers filtered by a stored
region, observer pins standing down, popup rows, the change handler
persisting, and the chip showing, resetting and rendering its text as
text.
- Mutation-checked: removing the region check, the observer stand-down,
the picker build in `loadNodes`, the popup rows, the persist on change,
the chip reset, or the truncated flag (Go or JS) each fails a test.
`test-issue-2001-map-scope-state.js` still passes.
- `go test ./...` in `cmd/server` passes; `check-css-vars` and
`check-xss-sinks --diff` are clean.

## Staging validation
Build `c646310f`, Chrome, no console errors:
- Picking `#be`: chip "Region: #be · reset" at the top of the map, hint
"221 nodes with a map position have evidence for #be: 129 declare it,
191 seen carrying its traffic. Absence here is not proof: ...".
- Clicking reset: picker back to "All regions", stored choice cleared,
chip hidden.
- First version, same instance: `declared_regions` on 136 of 500
`/api/nodes` rows; returning to "All regions" blocked the main thread
5.4 s against 3.2 s for the existing Status filter returning to "All".
The review measured the region filter's own added work at about 0.08 ms
per render plus popup rows that are already built for every marker, so
most of that time is the existing full re-render.

## Not verified
- The chip placement at phone width, and on narrow desktop widths where
it may sit under the expanded controls panel.
- The truncated badge with real truncated answers (staging has none
today).
- `test-map-clustering.js` has one failing test on `upstream/master`
too; untouched here.
- Marker badges from the original issue body are not implemented; the
popup rows are the per-node display.

efitenandClaude Opus 5 efdb3ea0b3 feat(analytics): retransmission pressure over time (#1699) (#2023)
## Summary
Adds `GET /api/analytics/retransmissions` and a "Retransmission Pressure
(proxy)" chart on the Analytics Topology tab, implementing the metric
agreed in #1699: for each flood, the number of distinct repeaters in the
union of the paths of all its observations (`[A]`, `[A,B,C]`, `[A,D]`
gives 4), averaged per time bucket.

Topology is the tab that already shows hop counts and repeaters in
paths, so the chart sits there instead of in a new tab.

## Definition
- Flood routes only (`route_type` 0/1); TRACE excluded. Direct routes
carry the route still to travel (firmware
`src/Mesh.cpp:78-106,334-342`), zero-hop sends are direct
(`src/Mesh.cpp:717-737`), TRACE path bytes are SNR values
(`src/Mesh.cpp:59-61`, refused by `sendFlood` at
`src/Mesh.cpp:637-641`). Firmware commit 0679dbef.
- **Flood events, not hashes.** `transmissions.hash` is UNIQUE and the
packet hash excludes the path (`src/Packet.cpp:41-50`), so when the same
bytes flood again the observations land on the same transmission.
Observations are sorted by time and split into events wherever two
consecutive observations are more than 5 minutes apart. Each event is
counted on its own and bucketed by its first observation.
- Why 5 minutes: a node holds a flood for at most 32 s
(`src/Dispatcher.cpp:11,243-251`) plus a random retransmit delay. On
live over 7 days, 72,806 of 74,347 flood transmissions span 60 s or
less, and of 1,372,283 consecutive observation gaps, 52 fall between 60
s and 300 s against 1,823 above 300 s.
- Events that start before the store retention floor (now minus
`retentionHours`) are left out for every request shape. The store keeps
older observations only for hashes heard again recently, so they do not
represent that period. Eviction of those transmissions is tracked in
#2024.
- A flood event heard only with an empty path counts as 0 repeaters.
- **Prefixes are not resolved to nodes, and a prefix counts once per
event**, whether it repeats across observations or inside one path. On
live (7 days), a repeated 2-byte prefix inside one path occurs in 1.08%
of flood transmissions and 6,178 of 6,596 such repeats match exactly one
known node; for 3-byte it is 0.69% and 104 of 104. That is one node
forwarding again after its 160-slot cyclic duplicate filter dropped the
hash (`src/helpers/SimpleMeshTables.h:9,52-57`). A repeated 1-byte
prefix (44.9% of 1-byte transmissions) is mostly two nodes; counting it
once keeps the value a lower bound. `summary.one_byte_packets` reports
how many events that affects.
- Observations are stored once per observer and path per hash, so a
later event of the same hash only holds pairs not stored before; its
count is a lower bound too. On live these are 1,466 of 75,356 events
(1.9%), and they are kept in the average.
- Resolution was not used: on live, 1-byte observations nearly all have
`resolved_path` NULL, and cold load refuses context-based resolution of
history (`cmd/server/neighbor_persist.go:155-168`).
- Buckets `5m|15m|1h|6h|1d`. `region` filters on observers like
`/api/analytics/rf`, after the event split; a region with no known
observers is not filtered, the same as the other analytics endpoints.
`area` is not supported.

## Implementation
- `cmd/server/retransmission_pressure.go:255` `addPath`: scans path JSON
directly into a generation-stamped hash set, no allocation per
observation.
- `cmd/server/retransmission_pressure.go:367`
`computeRetransmissionPressure`: one pass under `s.mu.RLock`. Per flood
transmission it sorts the observations by cached parsed time into a
reused scratch slice, splits events and counts each in `addEvent`
(`:319`). O(T + O log k + H).
- `cmd/server/retransmission_pressure.go:470`
`GetRetransmissionPressure`: default shape from the recomputer (#1659
warm-up gate). Other shapes come from a typed TTL cache (max 64 entries)
cleared on new paths and eviction (`cmd/server/store.go:2289,2336`);
concurrent misses on one key share one compute through singleflight
(`store.go:204`).
- `cmd/server/retransmission_pressure.go:515` handler,
`cmd/server/routes.go:331`, `cmd/server/openapi.go:108`,
`docs/api-spec.md:1283`.
- `public/analytics.js:761` card, `:855` `renderRetransmissionChart`
(CSS variables only, lines break at missing buckets, caption states it
is a proxy, names the observer coverage bias, the once-per-flood prefix
rule and the 5 minute event split), `:829` loader with stale-response
guard.

## Performance
- `BenchmarkComputeRetransmissionPressure`, 50k transmissions x 20
observations, `-cpu 1`, i5-1335U: median 161 ms/op (132 ms/op before the
event split); first pass after startup with timestamps not yet parsed
192 ms/op. About 22 KB and 281 allocations per op.
- On staging the default shape is served from the recomputer in 0.3 s;
the post-load recompute of this recomputer took 994 ms on a
121k-transmission store (log line quoted in #2025). A 336h store would
be about twice that, every recompute interval, under the store read
lock.

## Tests
- `cmd/server/retransmission_pressure_test.go`: union counting (reporter
example, overlaps, once per event for 1/2/3-byte, width/case, growth);
route/TRACE/zero-hop filter, bucketing, window by event start; event
split and the 5 minute settle gap (boundary, chained steps, unsorted
input), retention floor; region filter, region applied after the split,
unknown region, 1-byte share; recomputer read, TTL cache invalidation on
new paths and on eviction, cache expiry, singleflight, recomputer gate
wiring, handler, warm-up gate.
- `test-issue-1699-retransmission-chart.js` (33 tests, registered in
`test-all.sh` and `deploy.yml`).
- Mutation-checked: 18 mutations of the event split, floor, prefix rule,
bucketing, region order, cache clears, expiry, gate wiring and
singleflight, all killed.
- `go test ./...` in cmd/server passes; `scripts/check-css-vars.js` OK.

## Staging validation
Build `c646310f` (this rework plus #2025 and the other review
follow-ups), after a container restart and full load: default shape
74,974 flood events, average 27.08 repeaters, 169 hourly buckets from
2026-09-06 16:00 (the 168h floor) to the current hour, highest hourly
average 53.3. Before the rework the same instance showed buckets back to
2026-07-18, averages up to 148, and for the first minutes after a
restart only 5,911 packets.

## Merge order with #2025
#2025 fixes the recomputer startup for all analytics endpoints (the
stale first snapshot seen here). Whichever of the two merges second has
to add `recompRetransmissions` to `analyticsRecomputersLocked`, wire it
to that PR's `loadedGate` instead of `LoadComplete`, bump the recomputer
count in `TestAnalyticsRecomputers_PostLoadOrder` from 9 to 10, and make
`TestStartAnalyticsRecomputers_RetransmissionsGatedOnLoadComplete` call
`signalStartupLoadDone()`. That resolution is what ran on staging.

## Not verified
- Recompute timing on a production-size (336h) store; only extrapolated.
- Phone-width layout and dark theme of the reworked chart.
- E2E Playwright suite.

Fixes #1699

914bd4cf0e feat(channels): show each message's region (#1851) (#2018)
## Show each channel message's region scope

Each message in the Channels view now shows the region scope it was sent
with, as a small chip in the meta line: the region name (for example
`#be`), `unknown scope`, or nothing.

This is the channel-message part of #1852 by @dborup, extracted as a
focused change. #1852 was closed unmerged because it had grown to the
whole fork diff. The implementation follows dborup's commits c686ae3f,
350bf7ee and a94d57ed on dborup/CoreScope, adapted to current master.
dborup is co-author on the commit.

### What changed
- `cmd/server/db.go:2099,2195`: `GetChannelMessages` selects
`t.scope_name` when the column exists and returns it as `scope_name`.
- `cmd/server/store.go:5654`: the in-memory `GetChannelMessages` returns
`scope_name`, so the field does not depend on which path serves the
endpoint.
- `cmd/server/store.go:2966,3244`: both WebSocket broadcast builders
carry `scope_name`, so a live message shows its region immediately.
- `public/channels.js:342,2278`: `messageScopeChipHtml` renders the chip
with the existing `.sa-chip-declared` / `.sa-chip-unmatched` styles from
`scope-audit.css`. The name goes through `escapeHtml`. No new CSS.
- `public/channels.js:678,695,1435,1487`: the decrypt path and the
WebSocket path keep `scope_name` on the message.

### Differences from #1852
- The field is `scope_name`, the name `/api/packets` already uses.
- No `routeType` field. `transmissions.scope_name` already tells the
states apart: NULL means no transport code, an empty string means a
transport code that no configured region key matched. The frontend uses
`??`, not `||`, so the empty string is kept.
- A chip instead of `scope: <name>` text. The area label from later
#1852 commits is not included.

### Perf
One extra column per observation row in the page query (at most `limit`
transmissions), and one extra map entry per broadcast observation. No
new queries, loops or API calls.

### Tests
- `cmd/server/channel_message_scope_name_test.go`: the three states
through the DB query, the store, `/api/channels/{hash}/messages` over
both paths, a schema without the column, and both broadcast builders. 5
of its 6 tests fail without the change; the sixth guards the
missing-column case and passes either way.
- `test-issue-1851-channel-message-scope.js`: the REST, WebSocket and
client-side decrypt paths, escaping, and the name / unknown / none
render. 4/4 fail without the change. Registered in `test-all.sh` and the
unit step of `deploy.yml`.
- Mutation checks: returning `nil` for `scope_name` in the DB path fails
the DB and endpoint tests; `||` instead of `??` in the WebSocket path
fails the WebSocket test.
- `go test ./...` in `cmd/server`: ok. gofmt and go vet clean.

### Browser validation
On a staging instance with live traffic (build `e84d2da6`), in Chrome:
- `/api/channels/{hash}/messages` carries the `scope_name` key on every
message in the 19 channels whose results I read. `#hamradio`, latest 50:
34 named, 1 empty string, 15 NULL.
- Opening `#hamradio` renders 104 chips: `#nl` 53, `#be` 32, `#de` 11,
`#eu` 6, `#bx` 1 and `unknown scope` 1, and no chip on unscoped
messages. Chip text `rgb(26, 26, 46)` on `rgb(238, 242, 255)` in the
light theme.

### Not verified
- Dark theme not checked.
- The real-decrypt branch of `decryptCandidates` has no test and was not
exercised in the browser; the already-decrypted branch is tested.
- Messages already in the client decrypt cache show no chip until they
are decrypted again.
- `go test -race` and the Playwright E2E suite were not run locally.

Fixes #1851



## Review follow-up (commit `50346589`)

An independent review found no correctness or XSS problem and confirmed
DB, store and WebSocket agree on the value. Changed:

- **Real decrypt branch tested.** A new test runs the real AES+HMAC
decrypt branch in `decryptCandidates` with one packet per scope state;
deleting `scope_name` there now fails 2 of 7 tests.
- **Tooltip wording.** The unknown-scope tooltip now says the scope
"could not be matched to a single region on this instance"
(`public/channels.js:338-347`). The ingestor stores an empty name both
when no key matches and when several match without exactly one
operator-configured key (`cmd/ingestor/region_keys.go:364-393`), so
"matches none of the configured keys" was wrong for the second case.
- **Old decrypt cache.** Decrypted messages cached before this change
had no `scope_name` key and stayed chipless as long as the candidate
count did not change. A cached message missing the key now forces one
full decrypt; a cache that has it still takes the delta path. A test
covers each case.
- **Docs.** `docs/api-spec.md` documents `scope_name` on the channel
messages response, with the null / empty string / name semantics.

Corrections to the description:

- **Test counts.** With the `db.go` and `store.go` changes reverted, 4
of the 5 top-level Go tests fail (6 of 7 counting subtests); only the
missing-column test passes.
- **Broadcast payload.** `scope_name` is added to `pkt`, which is copied
into `broadcastMap` and also nested as `packet` (`store.go` ~2974-2980,
~3252-3257), so the key appears twice per observation: 36 bytes for
`null`, 48 bytes for `"#belgium"`.
- **Side effect on the Packets page.** The live table reads
`m.data.packet` (`packets.js` ~1316-1318), so flat rows and expanded
group children now show Scope for live packets. In grouped mode a new
group copies a fixed field list without `scope_name` (~1384-1395) and
shows the empty placeholder until reload. Before this PR every live row
showed that placeholder, so this is not a regression.

The three copies of the three-state scope rendering (`app.js`,
`packets.js`, `channels.js`) are left as they are.

efitenandClaude Opus 5 a059299588 feat(node-analytics): hop-count statistics per node (#1812) (#2021)
## Summary
Adds per-node hop-count statistics so repeater operators can choose
`flood.max`, `flood.max.unscoped` and `flood.max.advert` from what their
node actually sees.

- New endpoint `GET /api/nodes/{pubkey}/hop_analytics?days=N`
(`cmd/server/routes.go:299`, `cmd/server/node_hop_analytics.go:312`),
separate from `/analytics` as requested in the issue.
- New card "Hop Count at This Node" on the node analytics page
(`public/node-hop-analytics.js`, wired at
`public/node-analytics.js:130,174`): histogram of hop counts with a box
plot on the same x axis, filters `flood.max` (default),
`flood.max.advert`, `flood.max.unscoped`, driven by the existing range
picker.
- The existing "Hop Distribution" chart is unchanged: it shows path
length at the observer, a different quantity.
- No `direct` tag, although the issue lists one: for DIRECT packets the
path is the remaining route and no flood limit applies, so there is no
hop count to report.

## Hop count definition (firmware 0679dbef)
- `src/helpers/RoutingPolicy.h:15-21`: limits compare
`getPathHashCount()`; `.unscoped` applies to route type FLOOD, `.advert`
to adverts.
- `src/Mesh.cpp:344-350`: `routeRecvPacket` checks with n hashes in the
path, then writes its own hash at index n. So hops = the node's
zero-based index in the path, no +1.
- `src/Mesh.cpp:265-285`: a node forwards a flood once;
`src/Mesh.cpp:651,680`: an originator never forwards its own flood.
- DIRECT packets are excluded: their path is the remaining route
(`src/Mesh.cpp:78-103,334-341`).

Response: `{timeRange, packets: [{hash, timestamp, hops, tags}],
ambiguous}`. Tags: `flood`, `scoped` or `unscoped`, `advert`. Documented
in `docs/api-spec.md:679` and `cmd/server/openapi.go:90`.

## Attribution
`cmd/server/node_hop_analytics.go:198-309`. The result depends only on
the observed paths, the prefix map and the neighbor graph, so it is the
same after a restart as after live ingest.

- Every observation of every flood packet in the window is read.
`byNode` holds the server resolver's pick at ingest and other picks
after a cold load; `byPathHop` indexes only each packet's longest path,
which for a busy relay often runs through another branch of the flood.
- A packet counts when the node's prefix sits at exactly one index
across its observations, and either the node is the only relay candidate
for that prefix (`prefixMap.relayCandidates`,
`cmd/server/store.go:6795`), or the hop resolves to the node under the
ingestor's strict rule (`cmd/ingestor/path_resolver.go:143-214`) in at
least one observation and to another node in none. Strict rule: earlier
hops identified without a tiebreak, exactly one candidate adjacent in
`neighbor_edges` to the previous hop (the originator for hop 0 of an
advert), nodes already on the path excluded.
- The server resolver's tiebreaks (affinity, GPS distance, advert count,
pubkey order) are not used.
- Everything else with the node's prefix goes to `ambiguous`. In
practice that is most packets with a colliding 1-byte path hash.

On a read-only 7-day dump of a 1,669-node mesh DB, for one busy
repeater: 23,081 packets attributed, 11,437 ambiguous. Taking candidates
from `byPathHop` instead gave 9,995 attributed, with the histogram mode
moved from 2 to 3-5 hops.

## Performance
Scans `s.packets` under the read lock, no SQL per packet. Per
observation: one substring test for the node's first prefix byte; the
hop scan only for observations containing it; the strict walk only for
colliding prefixes, with per-request caches for candidates and
adjacency. `BenchmarkNodeHopPackets` models one 7-day request at that
scale (73,782 flood packets, 1,430,280 observations): 44-87 ms/op, 13.4
MB, 40 allocs on a throttling laptop.

Response size for that repeater over 7 days: about 23k entries, 2.3 MB
JSON, 375 KB gzipped. `hash` and `timestamp` are 61% of the raw and 91%
of the gzipped bytes; they stay because the issue asks for them so a
client can join entries to packets and bin by time.

## Tests
- Go: `cmd/server/node_hop_analytics_test.go`: 12 unit tests, a
live-ingest test through `IngestNewFromDB` (a colliding prefix without
independent attribution goes to `ambiguous`, not to the node the
resolver picked), live ingest versus cold load of the same DB, route
test, benchmark. 15 mutations of the attribution logic each fail a test.
- JS: `test-node-hop-analytics.js` (filters, histogram, quartiles and
whiskers with a fixture that separates 1.5 IQR from 3 IQR, render),
registered in `test-all.sh` and `.github/workflows/deploy.yml`.
- `gofmt`, `go vet ./...`, `go test ./...` in `cmd/server`,
`scripts/check-css-vars.js` pass.

## Staging validation
Build `c646310f` (this PR's review follow-up together with the other
open follow-ups), after a container restart and full load, on a busy
Belgian repeater:

- `hop_analytics?days=7`: 23,302 packets, 11,548 ambiguous, median 4,
adverts never above hop 7 (matching the firmware default
`flood_max_advert = 8`, `examples/simple_repeater/MyMesh.cpp:922`), 1.2
s. The first version reported 23,035 packets and 86 ambiguous in 534 ms,
because it trusted the resolver's pick for colliding prefixes.
- The card rendered on the first version with no console errors; the
rework does not touch the frontend beyond a test fixture.

## Not verified
- Response time and lock hold for 30 days on the busiest node on a
14-day store.
- Server relay candidates exclude companions and listeners while the
ingestor's prefix index does not, so a few strict attributions can
differ from the ingestor's persisted `resolved_path`.
- Identical numbers across a second container restart were shown in a Go
test, not repeated on staging.
- Dark theme, phone width, and switching the range picker in the
browser.
- Filter state is not reflected in the URL hash (the range picker is not
either).

Fixes #1812

efitenandClaude Opus 5 2d4019f719 fix(analytics): recompute once the store has fully loaded (#2025)
Refs #2023, #1659, #1724

### Problem
`main.go:258` waits only for the first load chunk, then `main.go:402`
starts the analytics recomputers. `Start()` computes immediately on that
chunk (`analytics_recomputer.go:86` on master) and the next compute
waits a full interval (`:93`, 5 min default). The chunk loader walks by
ascending id, so that chunk holds the oldest transmissions.

- RF, topology, channels: the #1659 gate checked `LoadComplete()` after
the compute (`analytics_warmup_1659.go:122`). `LoadComplete` flips at
the end of the hot window (`chunked_load.go:489`), before the background
fill (`store.go:1455`), so the gate could open on a snapshot without the
background fill, and the 60 s force timeout (`:73`, `:162`) opened it on
the first-chunk snapshot. In an end-to-end test on master,
`/api/analytics/rf` returned 200 with 8 of 100 packets before the
background fill ran.
- Distance, hash-collisions, hash-sizes, roles, observers-clock-skew,
nodes-clock-skew: no gate, partial snapshot served from the start.
- Distance additionally served a snapshot from the previous index for up
to one interval after each lazy index build.

On a staging instance, a default analytics request returned 5,911
packets with hours-old last buckets until the next recompute (about
74k).

### Change
- `StartupLoadDone()` (`chunked_load.go:108`): closed when
`RunStartupLoad` returns, on every path (`chunked_load.go:202`). Closing
it drops the hash-size info cache (15 s TTL) and the clock-skew engine
throttle (30 s, `clock_skew.go:225`), both read by the post-load
computes.
- `recomputeWhenLoaded` (`analytics_recomputer.go:172`): on that signal,
recompute each recomputer once, sequentially, via `RecomputeNow`
(`:154`), which runs on the recomputer's own loop and restarts its
ticker (`:106`). Order (`:255`): rf, topology, channels, distance,
hash-collisions, hash-sizes, observers-clock-skew, nodes-clock-skew,
roles (roles reads the nodes-clock-skew snapshot). Logs one line with
per-recomputer durations.
- Warm-up gate: now the same signal (`:343-354`), sampled before the
compute starts (`:129`), so a pass that began on partial data never
opens it. 503 + `Retry-After: 5` and the force timeout are unchanged; a
forced-open snapshot is replaced by the post-load recompute.
- Ungated endpoints: no new 503s (their API has none); snapshot replaced
right after the load.
- Distance: the lazy index build refreshes the distance recomputer
before reporting built (`store.go:4476`).
- Recompute intervals and config unchanged.

### Performance
One extra compute per recomputer per process start, run sequentially so
they do not all hold the store read lock at once. Ticker phases
afterwards are offset by the cumulative post-load compute durations
instead of all starting within the first-chunk compute window (relevant
to #1724; the effect on lock waves is not measured).

### Tests
`analytics_recompute_after_load_test.go`: signal open during background
fill, closed after success and failure; cache drops; immediate and
ordered post-load recompute; gate not opened by a pass started before
the load; forced-open snapshot replaced on load; ticker restart;
distance refresh before 202 ends; end to end with recomputers started
before the background fill (RF 503 until load, then `totalTransmissions`
equals the full store; six ungated endpoints 200 during load; all nine
recomputed after load). 9 of these failed on master with stubs; 8
single-line mutations each caught. `go test ./...` in `cmd/server`
passes.

### Staging validation
Deployed together with the review follow-ups of #2015-#2023 (build
`c646310f`), container restart:

```
16:35:20 [store] first chunk ready (chunkSize=10000)
16:35:25 [store] LoadChunked complete ... starting background fill loader
16:36:58 [store] background load complete: 121120/121282 packets in memory (coverage=99.9%)
16:37:03 [analytics-recompute] startup load done: recomputed 10 snapshots in 5.155s (rf=955ms topology=1.684s channels=43ms distance=49ms hash-collisions=30ms hash-sizes=338ms observers-clock-skew=369ms nodes-clock-skew=692ms roles=2ms retransmissions=994ms)
```

Right after that line, `/api/analytics/rf` reported `totalTransmissions`
121,121 against 120,700 packets in memory, and the retransmissions
default shape from #2023 covered the full 7 days. Before this change
both waited for the next 5 minute tick.

### Merge order with #2023
#2023 adds a tenth recomputer. Whichever of the two merges second has to
add `recompRetransmissions` to `analyticsRecomputersLocked`, wire it to
`loadedGate` instead of `LoadComplete`, and change 9 to 10 in
`TestAnalyticsRecomputers_PostLoadOrder`; the retransmissions gate test
then calls `signalStartupLoadDone()` instead of setting `loadComplete`.
That resolution is what ran on staging above.

### Not verified
- Repeater-enrich recomputer and the region/window TTL caches
(hash-collisions region results have a 1 h TTL) may also keep partial
results after the load; not changed here.
- Recompute order is tested structurally, not with roles/clock-skew
data.
- Whether this reduces the #1724 stalls; not measured.

efitenandClaude Opus 5 7f8f71e773 fix(live): reconnect when the websocket goes silent (#1074) (#2020)
## Problem

#1074 reports that after a proxy dropped the WebSocket, live updates
only came back 8 to 10 minutes later.

The client only reconnects from `onclose` (`public/app.js:791` on
master). A half-open connection (a proxy or NAT dropping state without a
FIN reaching the browser, a laptop that slept) can keep a WebSocket OPEN
for minutes without `onclose`, and nothing retries in the meantime.

The server does ping every 30s (`cmd/server/websocket.go:252` on
master), but ping frames are answered by the browser below the page and
JS cannot observe them. The only app-level frames are packet broadcasts
(`websocket.go:337, 343, 366`), which stop on a quiet mesh. So the
client had no signal to tell a quiet mesh from a dead socket.

## Change

Server (`cmd/server/websocket.go`):
- On the existing ping tick, `writePump` also writes the text frame
`{"type":"heartbeat"}` (`:283`, bytes at `:80`). One 20-byte frame per
client per 30s, from the goroutine that already writes the ping, no hub
lock.
- The interval moves to `Hub.pingInterval` (default 30s, `:118`) so a
test can shorten it.

Client (`public/app.js`):
- Every frame refreshes `wsLastMessageAt` (`:841`). One timer
(`checkWSLiveness`, `:806`) fires at last message + `WS_STALE_MS` (75s,
one late or lost heartbeat of slack) and replaces the socket if it is
still silent. It is armed at socket creation, so a stuck handshake is
covered too.
- `dropWS` (`:796`) detaches the old socket's handlers before `close()`,
so a late close event cannot schedule a second connection.
- `connectWS` (`:818`) cancels a pending reconnect and drops the
previous socket, so the watchdog, resume checks, `onclose` and
pull-to-reconnect cannot stack sockets. Before this, `pullReconnect` on
a non-open socket left a third socket 3s later. The 3s `WS_RECONNECT_MS`
delay after `onclose` is unchanged (`:837`).
- `visibilitychange` (to visible) and `online` run the check immediately
(`:861`), because a hidden or sleeping tab's timers can run late.
- Heartbeat frames are matched by exact bytes (`:842`) and are not
pulsed or dispatched to `onWS` listeners.

Compatibility: tabs loaded before the deploy dispatch heartbeats to
their listeners until reloaded. Every current listener filters on
`msg.type`, so the visible effect is a logo pulse and a `/stats` cache
refresh every 30s.

Perf: one `Date.now()` and one string compare per WS message on the
client; one extra 20-byte write per client per 30s on the server.

## Tests

- `test-ws-stale-watchdog-1074.js`: real `app.js` in a vm with a fake
clock, timers and WebSocket. 12 tests: silence past the threshold
replaces the socket exactly once; a handshake that never opens is
replaced; heartbeats and packet traffic keep the socket; heartbeats are
not dispatched; resume and `online` after silence reconnect immediately,
with recent traffic they do not, and hiding does not trigger a check;
repeated resume events open one socket; after `onclose` only the
reconnect timer is pending; pull-to-reconnect leaves one socket. 9 of 12
fail on master. 12 of 12 source mutations (threshold, reconnect path,
detaching, timer cleanup, resume wiring, heartbeat filter) are caught.
Registered in `test-all.sh` and the deploy.yml unit step.
- `TestWritePumpSendsAppHeartbeat`: fails with a read timeout without
the heartbeat, even with pings every 20ms. `TestHubDefaultPingInterval`
pins the 30s interval that `WS_STALE_MS` assumes.
- `go test ./...` in `cmd/server` passes; gofmt and go vet are clean.

## Browser validation

On a staging instance (build `139e484e`, together with #1979's branch),
in Chrome, no console errors:

- A `{"type":"heartbeat"}` frame arrived on the open socket within the
observation window.
- Silent socket: after `ws.onmessage = null`, the page replaced the
socket after 76.2s (threshold 75s plus a 250ms poll); the old socket
ended in CLOSED, the new one OPEN.
- Normal close: `ws.close()` led to a new OPEN socket after 4.1s, and
exactly one new `WebSocket` was constructed.

## Not verified

- The reporter's proxy setup was not reproduced; that their delay was a
half-open socket is a hypothesis consistent with the symptom. Hence
`Refs`, not `Fixes`.
- Laptop sleep and the `visibilitychange` / `online` resume path were
only covered by the unit test, not in a browser.
- Behaviour under Chrome's intensive background-timer throttling and
mobile tab freezing was not measured; a frozen but healthy tab may do
one unnecessary reconnect on resume.
- Go tests were run without `-race`.

Refs #1074



## Review follow-up (commit `72e5e906`)

An independent review found no blocking bug: all data writes stay on the
write goroutine, pong-based dead-client detection still works, and no
ordering of onclose, watchdog, resume checks and pull ends with two live
sockets or none. It reproduced the silent-socket case in headless
Chromium through a blackholing TCP proxy (replacement 75.0 s after the
last frame). Changed:

1. **Startup wiring tested.** The first resume test now boots through
the page's real `DOMContentLoaded` listeners, so removing
`setupWSResumeCheck()` from startup makes it fail.
2. **Wall clock stepping back.** If the clock steps back after the last
message, the watchdog no longer re-arms for the size of the step (a 1 h
step used to delay detection by about an hour). A negative silence
reading is treated as stale, so the socket is replaced within
`WS_STALE_MS` of the step (`public/app.js:810-814`). A step in either
direction costs at most one extra reconnect on a healthy socket.
`Date.now()` stays the clock so a tab resumed after sleep is still
checked against real elapsed time.
3. **Pull-to-reconnect at once.** On an OPEN socket, pull-to-reconnect
now replaces it through `connectWS()` instead of closing it and waiting
for onclose, which took 63 s on a half-open connection in the review's
measurement (`public/app.js:927-934`). This was slow on master too; it
is safe now that `connectWS()` detaches the old socket.

Tests: 12 to 16 in `test-ws-stale-watchdog-1074.js`;
`test-pull-to-reconnect.js`, `test-pull-to-reconnect-1091.js` and
`test-live.js` pass.

Correction to the compatibility note: tabs opened before the deploy
treat the heartbeat like any other message. Besides the logo pulse,
`app.js` runs `updateNavStats` on every message and invalidates the
cached `/stats` and `/nodes` responses 5 s later; `packets.js` also
pushes every message into `pauseBuffer` unfiltered (~1310-1313), so an
old tab with Packets paused sees its counter rise by 2 per minute.
Cosmetic: heartbeats are filtered out on replay, and a reload ends it.

Not verified: real hidden-tab or mobile freeze behaviour, Firefox and
Safari, and the reporter's proxy setup.

efitenandClaude Opus 5 0fea3f2a75 feat(analytics): break scope adverts down by node role (#1979) (#2019)
## Summary

Adds a breakdown of flood adverts by sender role to `/api/scope-stats`
and the Scopes tab, in the descriptive shape agreed in #1979: per node
role, how many flood adverts were unscoped, scoped with an unnamed
region, or scoped with a named region. It reports what was sent, not
why.

## Changes

- `cmd/server/db.go:3114-3144`: one grouped query in `GetScopeStats`.
ADVERT packets on flood routes (TRANSPORT_FLOOD 0, FLOOD 1) in the
window, `LEFT JOIN nodes` on `from_pubkey`, split by the three
`scope_name` states (NULL, empty string, name). A missing or empty role
becomes `"unknown"`. Ordered by total descending, then role. Zero-hop
adverts are excluded because firmware sends them as
DIRECT/TRANSPORT_DIRECT (`src/Mesh.cpp:717-730`, `Mesh::sendZeroHop`),
so they would inflate "unscoped".
- `cmd/server/types.go:116-133`: `ScopeAdvertRoleCount` and
`ScopeStatsResponse.AdvertsByRole` (`advertsByRole`, always an array).
- `public/analytics.js:4760`: `scopeAdvertsByRoleHtml` renders a table
under the time-series chart with the count per state and its share of
the row. Role text is escaped. It reuses the existing `/scope-stats`
response, so there is no extra request.
- `docs/api-spec.md:1763-1786`: documents the new field.
`/api/scope-stats` is in `openapi_known_gaps.json`, so there is no
`openapi.go` entry to update.

API addition (existing fields unchanged):

    "advertsByRole": [
{ "role": "repeater", "unscoped": 7741, "unknownScope": 7, "named": 1562
}
    ]

## Performance

The query runs inside `GetScopeStats`, so it shares the existing 30s
cache per window. The unary `+` on `payload_type` keeps SQLite on the
`first_seen` range index. Without it the planner picked the
`payload_type` index and walked every stored advert whatever the window.
Read-only timing on a production DB (1,063,345 transmissions, 161,634
adverts, sqlite3 CLI 3.45.1):

| Window | payload_type index | first_seen index (this PR) |
|---|---|---|
| 7d | 0.231s | 0.059s |
| 24h | 0.214s | 0.008s |
| 1h | 0.213s | 0.001s |

## Tests

- `TestGetScopeStatsAdvertsByRole` (`cmd/server/db_test.go:2295`): the
three states, flood-only routes, non-advert and out-of-window exclusion,
`unknown` for a missing node row, an empty role and a NULL
`from_pubkey`, and ordering. Mutation checked: widening to routes 0-3
and dropping the empty-role fallback both fail it.
- `TestGetScopeStatsAdvertsByRoleEmpty` (`:2372`): empty result is `[]`,
not null.
- `test-issue-1979-scope-adverts-by-role.js`: renders the real
`analytics.js` helper in a vm sandbox. Covers row order, totals and
shares, columns, escaping (mutation checked), the empty state, and the
non-causal caption. Registered in `test-all.sh` and the deploy.yml unit
step.
- `go test ./...` in `cmd/server` passes, gofmt and go vet are clean,
`check-css-vars.js` OK, `check-xss-sinks.sh --diff` exits 0.

## Browser validation

On a staging instance with live traffic (build `139e484e`, together with
#1074's branch), in Chrome, no console errors: `/#/analytics?tab=scopes`
shows "Flood adverts by node role" under the time-series chart with its
caption, and a table of 6 roles for the default window, for example
`repeater 1.361 | 1.109 (81.5%) | 2 (0.1%) | 250 (18.4%)`. Shares in
each row add up to 100%. `/api/scope-stats?window=7d` returns
`advertsByRole` with the same six roles.

## Not verified

- Timings are from the sqlite3 CLI, not the modernc driver in the server
process.
- Role is the sender's current `nodes.role`. A node whose advert type
changed within the window is counted under its latest role. The data
also contains a raw `type-13` role, shown as is.
- Switching the window in the browser was not exercised; the API was
checked for 7d.
- No Playwright E2E added.

Fixes #1979



## Review follow-up (commit `43af46b8`)

An independent review found no correctness, security or performance
problem: counts are per transmission, the window matches the rest of the
Scopes tab, zero-hop adverts are DIRECT per firmware, and the
`+t.payload_type` hint holds on modernc SQLite 3.46.0. It found two test
gaps and a docs gap. Changed:

- **Ordering.** The Go fixture gave companion, repeater and unknown 3
adverts each, so ordering by total was never checked (`ORDER BY COUNT(*)
ASC` still passed). The fixture now has repeater 4, unknown 3, companion
2, sensor 2, so the expected order differs from alphabetical and the
companion/sensor tie checks the role-name tie-break. Reversing the count
order, dropping it, or reversing the tie-break now fails the test.
- **Column positions.** The JS test only checked that each cell string
appeared somewhere in the row, so swapping two columns passed. It now
compares each row's cells and the header cells by position; both swaps
fail.
- **Docs.** `docs/api-spec.md` and the `ScopeAdvertRoleCount` comment
now name every source of `unknown`: a NULL `from_pubkey` (legacy rows
the #1143 backfill has not reached), a sender with no `nodes` row,
including one moved to `inactive_nodes` by node retention (inside the 7d
window only with `retention.nodeDays` below 7), and an empty role.

Not added: a query-plan test pinning the `+t.payload_type` hint. The SQL
is inline in `GetScopeStats`, so the test would have to copy it or the
query would have to move into a constant; left for a follow-up if
wanted. The raw `type-13` role in the table is the ingestor's
placeholder for reserved advert types 5-15
(`cmd/ingestor/decoder.go:1229`, #1279), shown as is.

efiten 296456f9c1 feat(map): colour and filter repeaters by scope-configuration state (#2006)
Closes #2001. Two review rounds plus a re-review; findings and evidence on the PR. Verified on a deployment against live data: the field over 1653 nodes, marker tints per filter state, the marker title and popup Scope row reaching the DOM, and the colorblind-preset cascade. The audit and the map are held to the same classification by an end-to-end test that fails when either side's wildcard handling drifts.

efiten 675c576fea fix(scope-audit): bound the verifier's payload, and fix two tests that proved less than they claimed (#1993)
Three leftovers from reviewing the scope-audit series (#1986, #1987,
#1990). None is urgent; all three are the kind of thing that gets harder
to explain the longer it sits.

## `scopeHMACInputs` accepted a payload `DecodePacket` rejects

Its comment says it walks the same offsets as the decoder, and it does,
minus the `maxPacketPayload` bound the decoder enforces. Unreachable in
practice: such a packet never reaches the database with an empty
`scope_name` in the first place, so the verifier never sees one.

Worth closing anyway, because the comment claims the two agree. A
verifier that accepts what the decoder refuses is a small divergence
today and an hour of confusion on the day it matters.

## The corroboration test seeded the same packet twice

The threshold of two rests on `code1` being two bytes: one match is
1/65536 by chance, two on the same region is (1/65536)². That argument
needs two **independent** observations.

The test seeded `realTransportFloodPacket` twice. Identical payloads
derive identical codes, so it was one observation counted twice, and it
would have passed just as happily against an implementation that counted
rows rather than deriving anything.

It now seeds the real captured packet plus a second one built for a
different payload, both deriving to `#fm-112` on their own.

**The feature was never wrong here.** `transmissions.hash` is unique and
`ComputeContentHash` is path-independent, so two rows always mean two
distinct payloads in production. Only the test failed to demonstrate the
property it is named for.

## Naming at ingest and verifying at read time had no test together

They were built separately, in #1990 and #1989, and the interaction
between them is not exotic: with derived region keys enabled, a packet
that used to be stored unnameable now arrives with a name. The audit
must then report that region as observed by the ordinary route:

- present in `agg.scopes`
- absent from `notObserved`
- **not** claimed by `regionEvidence`, which exists to explain regions
that could only be established by verification

Getting that wrong is quiet. The chip stays green while the reason
underneath it is wrong, and a reader asking "how do we know this" gets
the wrong story.

## Verification

`cd cmd/server && go test ./...` passes (254s), `go vet` and `gofmt -l`
clean. No production behaviour changes beyond the payload bound, which
rejects input that cannot occur.

efiten 8c164c5315 feat(scope-audit): verify a declared region against the repeater's own traffic (#1990)
Follow-up to #1987, and the point of counting that traffic in the first
place.

A region this instance holds no `hashRegions` key for is **unnameable,
not absent**. #1987 says so with a caveat chip. This settles it wherever
the evidence allows: derive `SHA256("#region")[:16]` from the repeater's
own declaration and HMAC that repeater's own unmatched packets with it.
Same computation the ingestor performs at ingest, with the candidate set
narrowed from every configured key to this repeater's handful of
declarations.

Where it fires, a grey "declared but not observed" chip becomes a green
one and the caveat count shrinks by the packets it explained.

## Two packets, not one

`code1` is two bytes, so an unrelated name matches a given packet with
probability 1/65536. Across ~400 unmatched packets and ~124 declared
names, chance alone produces roughly one false match per refresh. Two
matches on the same region for the same repeater is (1/65536)², about
one in four billion.

Lowering the threshold to one would not make this noisy, it would make
it **unsound**, so the constant carries that arithmetic and a test
rather than a comment. A region with exactly one hit stays grey and
reports its single hit, so the page can say why it is still shown as not
observed instead of leaving the reader to wonder.

## What it deliberately does not do

**It writes nothing.** Read-time only. A wrong answer expires with the
window instead of sitting in `transmissions.scope_name` until someone
runs a repair, and `cmd/server` stays read-only per the invariant in
AGENTS.md.

**`notObserved` remains the single source of chip colour.**
`regionEvidence` says only HOW a region was established. Two fields that
can disagree about the same fact is how this column got confusing in the
first place.

## Rule 0, including the part that was wrong at first

The naive shape is `targets × names × packets` HMACs: 205 × 124 × 400 ≈
10M.

Caching per `(region, transmission)` pair cuts the HMACs to ~50k. **That
measured 501ms**, because the HMACs had become a rounding error while
the *iteration* stayed cubic at 10.2M map lookups. Re-keyed per region,
holding the set of matching transmissions, it is **36ms** at the same
worst-case shape: a region is HMACed over every packet once, and a
target then asks one question per declared region instead of one per
(region, packet). Most declared regions match nothing, so the common
case is a single map lookup and no packet loop at all.

`hmacCount` exists so a test can assert the first mistake cannot come
back; the benchmark exists because only it caught the second.

## Both axes are bounded, because neither is bounded by the data

The "~400 packets in a 7 day window" this was sized against is a
property of one instance's configuration, not of the feature: the
ingestor stores the unnameable state for every transport-scoped packet
no configured key names, so an instance with few or no `hashRegions`
entries — the stock state, and the one this helps most — has **every**
scoped packet in that set.

- the window query takes the 4096 most recent candidates and reports
truncation, which the handler logs, so a grey chip on a sampled refresh
is not read as "not forwarded"
- the declared list is capped at 32 names per repeater: it arrives from
a collector that validates each entry's shape but never how many entries
there are
- measured at the cap: **306ms** for 205 targets over 124 names, against
29ms for the shape a real network produces

Because both caps make the evidence a sample, the response carries
`observedUnmatchedSampled`. Without it a client subtracts a capped
numerator from an uncapped total and overstates the unexplained traffic
with no way to know it is doing so. The chip subtracts only evidence for
regions **absent** from `notObserved` — a single-hit region the server
refused to accept is not called explained either — and says "at most N"
when the count was sampled.

## Verified on live data

Six repeaters clear the threshold in a 7d window on a real instance. One
of them: `nl-nb` green with 3 corroborating packets and the tooltip
stating the count, `belml` still grey on 1, and the caveat chip reading
31 of 34 packets unexplained rather than 30.

## Tests

`scope_verify_test.go` covers the HMAC-input walk against a real
transport-flood packet captured from a live instance (a hand-built
fixture would only prove the parser agrees with itself), that
`regionCode` does not fold case, the threshold in both directions, the
memo's HMAC count, both bounds with their truncation flag, and the
benchmark at cap size. Handler-level tests cover a region verified into
green, a single hit left grey with its count reported, and the
sample-size field.

`cd cmd/server && go test ./...` passes (77s), frontend 723 assertions
pass, `go vet` and `gofmt -l` clean.

efiten 0605b1703a feat(scope-audit): count and surface the traffic this instance cannot name (#1987)
Follow-up to #1986, and the second half of the same problem.

`ScopeAuditForwarding` drops rows whose `scope_name` is the empty string
with a bare `continue`. That empty string is the ingestor's
"transport-scoped, but no configured region key matched `code1`" state
(`scopeNameForDB`), so those packets name no region and can never
satisfy a declared one. The consequence is on the page: **a repeater
forwarding a region this instance holds no `hashRegions` key for is
reported exactly like a repeater forwarding nothing at all.** The audit
presents a gap in the reader's own configuration as a finding about
someone else's hardware.

This counts them per target, exposes the count as
`observedUnmatchedPackets`, and renders it as a caveat chip beside the
scope chips.

## Why it is not a rare edge

Measured on a live instance before this landed: of 613 `notObserved`
entries across 205 repeaters, **260 named a region that never appeared
under any name in the whole 7-day window**. Two of them (`behss`,
`fm-112`) were hash-verified as genuinely forwarded traffic the instance
simply could not name: packet `0a065d41d51f1f77` decodes to
`code1=9209`, which is exactly the code `#fm-112` derives over that
packet's own payload.

That instance had 16 region keys configured against 124 distinct region
names its repeaters declare. A stock install has fewer.

## What the counter is not

It is deliberately **not** folded into `unscopedPackets`. The two are
opposites:

| | meaning | what governs it |
|---|---|---|
| `unscopedPackets` | the packet carried no scope at all (`scope_name`
SQL NULL) | the `*` wildcard |
| `observedUnmatchedPackets` | the packet IS scoped, this instance holds
no key for that region | nothing the repeater declares |

For the same reason the new count never feeds `wildcardContradiction`,
which counts only plain unscoped floods. `scopeNameForDB` in the
ingestor is the source of truth for that three-state encoding, and the
comments point there rather than restating it.

It is also distinct from `ambiguousHops`, and the distinction is the
point of the chip: that one is a pubkey-prefix collision between two
repeaters and is nobody's fault, this one is a missing entry in the
reader's own configuration and they can act on it. Saying which is which
is what stops someone investigating an innocent repeater.

## Frontend

The chip reuses the muted dashed treatment of `.sa-chip-ambiguous` on
purpose: both are caveats on the row's finding rather than findings
themselves, and neither may compete visually with the red/green scope
chips beside them.

It renders nothing for a non-numeric count. The value is
server-supplied, and a truthiness check would put the literal string
`NaN forwarded packets` on the page if that ever stopped holding.

## Docs

`docs/api-spec.md` had **no entry for `GET /api/scope-audit` at all**,
so this adds one: query parameter, full response shape, and the notes a
client needs (the three traps the per-node endpoint documents apply here
identically, `*` is never a scope, and "never asked" is not "declared
nothing"). The new field is documented there rather than in isolation.

## Tests

- the counter on a last-hop and on a mid-path hop
- an unmatched packet enters neither `agg.scopes` nor `unscopedPackets`,
which is the confusion this field exists to prevent
- the field on the API row
- six frontend cases: zero renders nothing, a missing field renders
nothing (older server), the chip carries its count and class, singular
and plural are both grammatical, the title names the cause and the fix,
and a non-numeric count renders nothing rather than `NaN`

`cd cmd/server && go test ./...` passes, frontend 712 assertions pass,
`go vet` and `gofmt -l` clean.

Rule 0: the counter is one increment on a branch that already existed as
a `continue`, inside a loop this PR does not change. No new query, no
new pass over the data.

efiten 079e73aa4c fix(scope-audit): attribute forwarding to every hop, and pay for the wider scan (#1986)
The Scope Audit credits a transmission to `path[last]` only. On a
flood-family route every forwarder appends its own hash to the END of
the path (`internal/packetpath/route.go`), so `path[last]` does not mean
"forwarded this packet", it means "was the transmission an uplinked
observer heard directly". Every earlier hop forwarded the same packet
and is discarded.

The last-hop rule is genuinely required for DIRECT routes, which consume
hops from the front, so their `path[last]` is the route’s far end rather
than the transmitter. But `scopeAuditForwarderScanQuery` already
restricts to `route_type IN (0, 1)` via
`scopeConformanceForwarderRouteTypesSQL`, where that hazard cannot
arise, so inside this query the restriction only throws evidence away.

## What it costs the page today

Measured on a live-shaped instance, 206 declared repeaters, 965k
transmissions, 7d window:

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| repeaters with no attributable evidence of any kind | 133 of 205 (65%)
| 30 of 206 (15%) |

On a 1000-packet flood sample the mean path length is 7.08 hops, so the
last-hop rule keeps 394 of 2789 hop observations (14%), and 85% of the
nodes seen forwarding never appear as a last hop at all. Those repeaters
have every region they declare reported as "declared, not observed",
which is the page presenting a gap in our own attribution as a finding
about someone else’s repeater.

## Rule 0: what widening it costs, and what pays for it

Reading every hop multiplies the rows the scan returns: a 7d window
yields **3,470,188 hop rows** from 1,368,761 observations carrying a
path. Cold cost before this change was 16.7s for 7d and 4.0s for 24h, of
which SQLite accounts for 2.7s. The rest was the Go side reading rows.

Three changes, in order of what they bought:

1. **The scan carried `scope_name` and `first_seen` on every hop row.**
Both are columns of `transmissions`, and at 43 hop rows per transmission
the same two values were re-read that many times. They now come from one
query over the same window keyed by transmission id, both inside one
read transaction so a transmission arriving between them cannot appear
in the hop scan with no metadata to attribute it by. The hop scan
carries two columns instead of four.
2. **The hop is lower-cased into a stack buffer** instead of through
`strings.ToLower`. 1,026,814 of the 1,284,897 hops in a 24h window are
stored uppercase, because `packetpath.DecodePathFromRawHex` writes them
that way, and the great majority match no declared target, so that
allocation was paid millions of times to answer "no". The `(target,
txID)` de-duplication key became a struct for the same reason.
3. **The compute ran outside the cache mutex**, so every request
arriving on a cold window ran its own full scan concurrently. It now
sits behind a singleflight, the same treatment `/api/observers` and
`/api/nodes/{pubkey}/reach` already have, and the 7d window gets a 5
minute TTL while 1h and 24h keep 30s. At 30s a single reader with 7d
open keeps the instance recomputing more than half the time, for an
aggregate that moves at the pace of a week of traffic.

Result, warm process:

| window | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| 1h | 0.155s | 0.140s |
| 24h | 4.04s | 2.79-2.89s across six samples |
| 7d | 16.7s | 11.6s |
| repeat inside TTL | ~1ms | ~1ms |

**Rejected alternatives, measured on the same database**, so the next
reader does not have to re-derive them:

| approach | rows returned | time in SQLite |
|---|---|---|
| the query as written | 3,470,188 | 2.7s |
| pre-filter on the declared targets’ first 4 hex chars | 1,971,126 |
20.9s |
| `GROUP BY t.id, hop` | 965,025 | 38.0s |
| `SELECT DISTINCT t.id, path_json` | 1,229,966 | 17.7s |

The query plan is already index-driven (`idx_transmissions_first_seen`,
then `idx_observations_tx_ts`), so there is no missing index behind
this: the rows are inherent to the data. Note for anyone attempting a
hop comparison in SQL: a case-sensitive comparison silently drops most
attributable hops, per the 80% figure above.

## Tests

- a mid-path hop is attributed (the case behind the 65% blind spot)
- a DIRECT transmission whose `path[last]` **is** the target is still
not attributed. With the last-hop rule gone this is the only thing
standing between the audit and misattribution, so it gets its own test
rather than relying on the route filter being obvious
- one transmission counted once per target even when it appears on
several hops of the same path, which the `(target, txID)` de-duplication
now carries alone
- a hop longer than the 4-char floor resolved by its own length, which
nothing pinned before: every other test seeds 4-char hops
- the per-window TTL, so collapsing it back to one constant has to
delete the reason
- a second request inside the TTL served from cache rather than
recomputed. The cache path had no test at all

`cd cmd/server && go test ./...` passes (168s), `go vet` and `gofmt -l`
clean. Server-side only, no API shape change, no frontend change.

Browser validation: run against a live instance carrying this change,
the Scope Audit renders 220 rows matching the API row for row, and the
per-node scopes page still answers with its route-type mix.

efiten 2c8c1161b5 feat(#1975): network-wide Scope Audit page, fed by confirmed scopes (#1976)
One row per repeater whose configured region list is known, answering a question
no other view answers: you declare these regions, but were you seen forwarding
them? default_scope says what a node's adverts were observed under and
transported_scopes (#1751) says what it carried, but nothing lined the declared
list up against observed forwarding.

The declared side merges every confirmed-scope source the database carries,
newest answer per node wins, rather than naming one. On a stock install only
nodes.configured_scope (#1865/#1971) exists and it degrades to the one-source
case; deployments that collect the same fact another way keep working. Reading a
single hard-coded source would have rendered an empty page on the very instance
the evidence came from.

Declared and observed are compared through normScope, so a leading "#" and a
bare region name are one region. Unobserved regions render neutral, not red:
absence over a short window is weak evidence, which the page header already
states in words.

Ported from a long-running fork deployment with its 17 server tests, rewired to
the upstream data source, plus 14 frontend cases asserting rendered markup.

efitenandClaude Opus 5 1ffaad8eb1 feat(#1794): per-IP limits and a deny list on the /ws upgrade (#1974)
Closes #1794. Follow-up to #1793, decided **before** the upgrade because
the handshake is the resource being protected.

- Deny list of addresses and CIDRs → 403
- Per-IP concurrent connection cap → 403
- Per-IP upgrade rate limit over a rolling minute → **429**, not 403: a
temporary refusal should not read as "never come back"
- Rejection counters split by cause in `/api/stats` under `websocket`

### The decision this feature lives or dies on

Most CoreScope installs sit behind nginx, Caddy, Traefik or an ingress.
`cdn_detection.go` says so in as many words: it deliberately excludes
`X-Forwarded-For` from its CDN signals precisely because *every*
reverse-proxied install sets it. For those deployments `r.RemoteAddr` is
the proxy, `127.0.0.1` for every visitor on earth. A per-IP cap keyed on
that address protects nobody and hands the sixth legitimate browser tab
a 403. That is a self-inflicted outage wearing the costume of hardening.

So:

- **`X-Forwarded-For` is believed only from an address listed in
`webSocket.trustedProxies`.** From anywhere else it is
attacker-supplied, and trusting it would let anyone mint a fresh source
IP per connection, which is strictly worse than having no limit at all.
- **When the peer looks like a local reverse proxy and no
`trustedProxies` is set, the per-IP limits are skipped**, and one
warning names the setting that fixes it. Silently refusing real users is
the worse failure.
- **The deny list still applies there**, because it is the operator's
explicit instruction rather than an inference.

That is the answer to @mcode6726's question on the thread: it is neither
"always the socket address" nor "always the header", and the operator
decides which by naming their proxy.

### Two deliberate departures from the issue body

**`maxConnsPerIP` ships as 0 (off), not 5.** Carrier-grade NAT puts
thousands of unrelated mobile subscribers behind a single public IPv4. A
cap of 5 refuses real visitors on phones while a scraper simply rents
more addresses: all of the cost, none of the benefit.
`upgradesPerMinPerIP` ships at **30 and on**, because that one *is* safe
under CGNAT: a real client upgrades a handful of times per minute even
while reconnecting, so 30 leaves ordinary traffic untouched while
flattening a reconnect loop. A pointer type distinguishes "unset" from
an explicit `0` that turns it off.

**The default deny list is not shipped.** The thread proposed seeding 44
CIDRs for one VPS provider after a single scraper was seen at
`23.111.177.6`. I have left it out: blanket-blocking a hosting provider
by default breaks legitimate operators who host there, is undiscoverable
by the person locked out (they see a bare 403), and ages badly as ranges
get reassigned. The mechanism is here and `config.example.json` shows
exactly how to configure it, so any operator who wants that list can
have it in one line. If you want it shipped as a default anyway, that is
your call as maintainer and it is a one-line change.

### Verification

19 tests, including all five the issue specifies as TDD requirements,
each marked with the issue's own wording. Beyond those five:

- a **bare address** in the deny list works, not just CIDR form.
Operators write `1.2.3.4`, and silently ignoring that would be the worst
possible failure for a deny list: it looks configured and blocks nothing
- an unparseable deny entry is skipped and logged, not fatal. One typo
must not take the server down
- one client behind a trusted proxy does **not** exhaust another
client's budget behind the same proxy, which is the entire point of
honouring XFF
- changing a forged XFF from an untrusted peer buys no fresh budget
- `release` frees a slot and is **idempotent**, because `Unregister` can
run twice for one client and double-crediting would leak slots
- a **rejected** upgrade does not consume rate budget, or a retrying
client could never recover once its window cleared
- limits skipped for loopback and private peers; deny list applies
anyway
- a nil limiter allows everything, so a `Hub` built without
`ConfigureLimits` behaves exactly as before
- idle per-IP state is collected, while a record with a live connection
never is

Full `cmd/server` suite green, `gofmt` clean.

### Not done

- No runtime config reload; restart required. Listed as optional in the
issue.
- No `WS_DENY_IPS` env override. Also listed as optional.
- From the OWASP expansion in the first comment: `maxPayload` and the
idle/read timeout are **already in master** (`SetReadLimit`,
`SetReadDeadline`). The ping/pong heartbeat is not, and is not in this
PR either; it is a separate change to the read/write pumps and belongs
in its own review.

Carries SaarMesh-Bot's implementation from the closed #1867 forward onto current
master, 67 commits later, and surfaces the result on the per-node Reach report.

The declared region list a repeater answers with is now stored on the node as
configured_scope, normalised to the same leading-# syntax default_scope already
uses so the two are directly comparable. That normalisation is the point
@cwichura raised on #1865 and @dborup agreed with before the original PR closed.

n30nex cf67a5e5ec fix: remove evicted resolved path hops and preserve relay snapshots (#1966)
Eviction removes raw wire hops but leaves resolved full-key entries in
`byPathHop`, retaining expired transmissions and stale relay
counts/scopes. Filter every hop bucket once per eviction batch using the
existing evicted-ID set, remove duplicate references and empty buckets,
and clear discarded pointer slots.

Bulk relay aggregation now owns its bucket snapshots before releasing
the read lock, so eviction and raw-path updates cannot mutate an
in-flight reader. Three existing handler test fixtures also wait for
index readiness or explicitly simulate not-ready state, preserving their
original 200/503 assertions.

Fixes #1908.

Validation:

- Regression commits fail before their corresponding fixes: resolved
keys/counts/scopes remain after eviction, and saved relay snapshots
change during eviction.
- Targeted eviction, relay, scope, cache and concurrent-reader checks
pass under `-race`; coverage includes time/cap eviction, missing
resolved-path prefetch, disabled membership indexing, duplicate
references, retained backing arrays and surviving entries.
- Local browser smoke: nodes, node details/path attribution and
analytics render using the fixture-backed Go server.
- The last full Windows server race run, before the final snapshot-copy
correction, had one remaining DB-only timing failure
(`TestGetChannelMessagesPerfLargeChannel`: 2.198s against a 1.5s
budget). The final correction was checked with focused race tests. The
unchanged ingestor suite also cannot create one symlink without Windows
privileges. These thresholds/assertions were preserved; full Linux
Go/E2E results still require upstream CI approval.

Performance tradeoff: cleanup is O(total indexed pointers) per nonempty
eviction batch, under the existing write lock. The minute-based ticker
pays for one sweep instead of repeated scans of shared raw buckets. No
per-transmission string index or dependency is added. Synthetic
benchmark medians (three single-iteration runs, shared Windows host):

| Transmissions | Evicted | Before | After |
|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 30,000 | 1 | 1.07 ms | 14.19 ms |
| 30,000 | 3,000 | 56.27 ms | 61.68 ms |
| 30,000 | 7,500 | 83.58 ms | 65.54 ms |
| 100,000 | 1 | 0.30 ms | 56.95 ms |
| 100,000 | 10,000 | 949.93 ms | 190.71 ms |
| 100,000 | 25,000 | 1,834.48 ms | 320.38 ms |

Fixture: eight raw plus eight resolved hops per transmission, two
observations, 2,048 relays; 480,000/1,600,000 hop entries. Timing
includes acquiring the store lock and omits unrelated secondary indexes.
Small batches now pay for the complete sweep; shared-host timing is
noisy.

Owning the bulk reader's arrays also has a measured cost on cold/bulk
recomputation, rather than cached hits. Snapshot medians from three
samples of ten iterations:

| Transmissions / relay nodes | Before time / bytes per operation |
After time / bytes per operation |
|---|---:|---:|
| 30,000 / 50 | 0.0068 ms / 5,416 B | 23.65 ms / 4,101,435 B |
| 30,000 / 2,000 | 0.1374 ms / 196,768 B | 26.77 ms / 4,274,336 B |
| 100,000 / 2,000 | 0.1376 ms / 196,768 B | 27.89 ms / 13,959,337 B |

These are total snapshot costs, comparing the unsafe header-only
snapshot with owned pointer arrays. Cleanup guarantees here apply to
`byPathHop`; other indexes and existing periodic bulk-cache freshness
are outside this change.

Following #1922, this runtime fix is separate from the release-routing
and frontend-runner PRs. Current Go and E2E job results should be
assessed separately from workflow-approval or staging-runner state.

efitenandClaude Opus 5 eb3d71f8f6 perf(#1910): collapse concurrent /stats work and serve the count cache stale (#1963)
Addresses #1910. The Observers page hangs on "Loading..." for 10-20s;
the reporter measured `/stats` at 10-17s under the mixed load that page
produces, while the same endpoint stays under 70ms at 8x concurrency
when it is the only one being hit.

## Cause

Two cache layers guard the expensive work and **neither has
single-flight**:

| | | |
|---|---|---|
| `handleStats` | 10s cache | releases `statsMu` before rebuilding
(`routes.go:774`) |
| `GetStoreStats` | 30s cache | releases `statsCacheMu` before scanning
(`store.go:2048`) |

Both do check, release, then work. The moment either window expires,
**every in-flight request does the whole thing itself**.

The expensive part is a range scan over 24h of `observations` with two
`SUM(CASE...)` over it. The column is indexed
(`idx_observations_timestamp`), but the scan still visits every row in
the window, and at 18k observers that is millions. The pool is
`SetMaxOpenConns(4)` (`db.go:111`), and the page fires stats, observers,
nodes, channels and clock-skew at once, so one cache miss turns a single
scan into a queue of them.

That is exactly the reported profile: fast alone, slow only when mixed.

## Changes

1. **Single-flight both layers.** Concurrent callers that miss the cache
wait for the first one's result instead of each running the same
queries.
2. **Serve the observation counts stale while refreshing in the
background.** An expired cache answers from the previous value and kicks
off one refresh, so a miss is never a wait.

Single-flight alone would not have fixed the hang: the first caller
still waits for the full scan. The second change is what removes it.

## Contract change, stated plainly

`TestGetStoreStats_CacheExpiry` asserted that an expired cache returns
**fresh DB values on the same call**. It no longer does.

For `packetsLastHour` / `packetsLast24h` on a dashboard, answering with
a value up to ~30s older instead of blocking for seconds looks like the
right trade to me. But that is a judgement, not a bug fix, and **a
reviewer should be able to reject it**. I did not quietly delete the
test: it now asserts what still has to hold, that the refresh happens,
and the new behaviour is pinned separately by
`TestGetStoreStats_StaleCacheServedWithoutBlocking`.

If you would rather keep the old contract, drop change 2 and keep change
1; the diff separates cleanly.

## Verification

The new test **fails without the change**:

```
stale cache not served: got (0, 2), want (424242, 434343). An expired cache must
answer from the previous value and refresh in the background, not block the
request on the observations scan
```

`gofmt` clean, `go vet` clean, `cmd/server` suite ok in 267s.

## Two things I did not verify

**The race detector.** It needs cgo and there is no gcc on this machine,
so `go test -race` cannot run here. This change adds a background
goroutine writing the cache under `statsCacheMu`, so that check matters.
CI runs `go test -timeout 20m -race` for `cmd/server`
(`deploy.yml:134`), which covers it before merge.

**The 10-17s itself.** I have no database with 18k observers. The
mechanism above explains the reported profile, including why the
endpoint is fast in isolation, but I did not measure the figure.
@dborup, if you can run a build from this branch, the number to watch is
`/stats` under the same mixed-load command from your issue.

efitenandClaude Opus 5 71b892ba95 fix(#1899): scope the channel preview to the region filter (#1961)
Closes #1899.

The Channels sidebar preview (`lastMessage` / `lastSender`) ignored the
active region filter, so an operator filtering on their own region saw a
preview line from a message their observers never heard.

## Cause

`GetChannels` scoped `msg_count` and `last_activity` correctly: the
outer query joins `observations` and `observers` and filters on IATA.
The `sample_json` subquery that feeds the preview joined neither, so it
always returned the globally newest message on the channel.

## Fix

Both region-filtered branches now scope the subquery the way the outer
query does: v3 through `observations`/`observers` on `observer_idx`, v2
through the `EXISTS` on `observer_id`. The unfiltered branch is
untouched, since there is no filter for it to respect.

**One thing that is easy to get wrong here:** the subquery sits in the
SELECT list, *ahead of* the WHERE, so its placeholders bind first. The
region codes are appended twice, subquery set first, or every filtered
call binds the wrong values.

**Scope checked rather than assumed:** `GetEncryptedChannels` has the
same shape and the same `regionPlaceholder` pattern, but selects no
`sample_json`, so it does not have this bug and is left alone.

## Verification

The regression test **fails on unmodified master**, with the reported
symptom:

```
db_test.go:2465: preview sender = Bob, want Alice: SJC must not be shown Bob's
                 message, which only SFO heard
db_test.go:2469: preview message = heard in SFO, want "heard in SJC"
```

It asserts both directions, so it cannot pass by always picking the
oldest row, and it asserts the unfiltered call still shows the globally
newest message, which was never in question.

`gofmt` clean, `go vet` clean, `cmd/server` suite ok in 98.5s.

efitenandClaude Opus 5 e7b3a2e77f chore(#1856): remove POST /api/packets, which has never worked (#1959)
Part 1 of #1856. Part 2 (the hash migration reporting false success) is
#1958.

## It has never worked

`handlePostPacket` writes to the server's DB handle, and that handle is
read-only. `cmd/server/db.go:106`:

```go
dsn := fmt.Sprintf("file:%s?mode=ro&_journal_mode=WAL&_busy_timeout=5000", path)
```

Every call answered `500 attempt to write a readonly database`.

**This is the second report.** #1196 raised it on 2026-06-13, a fix was
merged that corrected v2 column names to v3, and the issue was closed.
That fix could not have worked, because the column names were never why
the write failed. Its comment is still sitting at `routes.go:1288`, next
to code that has never executed successfully in production.

## Why remove rather than build a handoff

**It cannot break a caller.** An endpoint that has only ever returned
500 has no working consumer. This is not a breaking API change, it is
documentation catching up with reality. Nothing in `public/` calls it.

**It was actively misleading.** `openapi.go` advertised it as "Ingest a
packet" and it sits behind `requireAPIKey`, which reads as a live,
protected write endpoint.

**Its test hid the breakage.** `TestPostPacketPersistsV3Schema` asserted
the observation row is written and passed for four months, because the
test DB is opened read-write while production is not. That is how #1196
came to be closed as fixed.

**Ingest is MQTT-only by design since #1283.** Re-adding an HTTP write
path re-opens the invariant that change established. If manual injection
is wanted later for testing or replay, it belongs on the ingestor side
and deserves its own issue. The repository already has the handoff shape
for that: the server writes `request-<id>.json` and the ingestor
consumes it (`cmd/ingestor/prune_geofilter.go`).

## What went

The route, `handlePostPacket` (103 lines), the now-unused
`PacketIngestResponse` type, the `openapi.go` entry, the round-trip
test, and the section plus table-of-contents line in `docs/api-spec.md`.
The `packetpath` import in `routes.go` became unused and went with it.

`+4/-225` across 6 files.

## The auth tests

The four `requireAPIKey` tests used `"/api/packets"` only as a request
path while building their own handler with `s.requireAPIKey(...)`, so
they never touched the route.

I checked that by **running them**, not by reading the code:

```
--- PASS: TestRequireAPIKey_RejectsWeakKey
--- PASS: TestRequireAPIKey_AcceptsStrongKey
--- PASS: TestRequireAPIKey_EmptyKeyDisablesEndpoints
--- PASS: TestRequireAPIKey_WrongKeyUnauthorized
```

Their paths now point at `/api/admin/prune-geo-filter`, which still
exists, so they no longer name a removed endpoint. Re-ran after that
change: still 4 of 4.

`/api/packets/observations` is a different endpoint and is untouched.

Verified: `gofmt` clean, `go vet` clean, `cmd/server` suite ok in 62.9s.

efitenandClaude Opus 5 56d6d4c722 fix(#1856): stop the hash migration reporting success it never achieved (#1958)
Part 2 of #1856. **Part 1 is deliberately not fixed here** and the issue
stays open for it; reasoning at the end.

## The bug

`migrateContentHashesAsync` set `store.hashMigrationComplete` in a
deferred func that ran unconditionally. Every DB failure inside the loop
takes a `continue` (begin tx, prepare, commit), so the loop always
reaches that defer, **including when not a single batch was written**.

That is not hypothetical. The server has held a `mode=ro` handle since
#1283, so `Begin`, `Prepare` and `Commit` all fail, every batch is
skipped, and `/api/stats` then answers `hashMigrationComplete: true`
after migrating nothing. The migration is started unconditionally on
every boot at `main.go:546`.

## The fix

The three failure paths now count, and the defer only claims completion
when the count is zero. When it is not, it logs once, naming the
read-only handle as the expected cause and pointing at this issue, so an
operator can tell "no work to do" apart from "could not do the work".

**Nothing waits on the flag.** The only reader is `routes.go:828`, which
reports it in `/api/stats`. Leaving it false on failure blocks nothing;
it just stops the endpoint from lying.

The in-memory index is untouched on failure. That was already true,
because the index update runs only after a successful commit, and the
test now asserts it so memory and disk cannot drift apart.

## Verification

The regression test **fails on unmodified master**:

```
hash_migrate_test.go:115: hashMigrationComplete must stay false when no batch
could be written; reporting true here is what #1856 called self-reported success
```

It closes the DB handle to make writes fail. That is deterministic and
exercises the identical path as a read-only handle (`Begin` errors,
batch skipped); the in-memory test DB cannot be reopened read-only.

The existing happy-path test still passes, so the flag still turns true
on a real migration. `gofmt` clean, `go vet` clean, `cmd/server` suite
ok in 59.7s.

## Why part 1 is not in here

`handlePostPacket` writes to the same read-only handle and therefore
always answers 500. I checked the error path before assuming it was
misleading: it already returns `"transmission insert: attempt to write a
readonly database"`, so the message is accurate. The endpoint is not
confusing, it is simply dead.

The issue asks maintainers directly: *"is this endpoint still wanted? If
ingestion is MQTT-only now, deleting it is simpler than routing it
through a handoff."* That is a product decision, not a fix, and
inventing a middle answer would only add code without settling it. Worth
noting the repository already has a precedent for the handoff shape: the
server writes `request-<id>.json` and the ingestor consumes it
(`cmd/ingestor/prune_geofilter.go`).

Two things a decision should account for: the endpoint is documented in
`openapi.go:69` and guarded by `requireAPIKey`, and
`routes_test.go:4850` asserts it writes an observation row using the v3
schema, which passes only because the test DB is read-write.

40f664c587 chore(#1859): gofmt sweep + gofmt/go vet CI gate (rebase of #1881) (#1941)
Rebase of #1881 by @SaarMesh-Bot onto current master. Their three
commits are preserved, two of them cherry-picked with authorship intact;
the sweep itself had to be regenerated. Opened as a new PR rather than
force-pushing their branch.

Closes #1881 once merged. Addresses parts 1 and 3 of #1859; part 2
landed as #1937.

## Why regenerated rather than merged

The sweep in #1881 was cut on 2026-09-02 07:13 and roughly forty PRs
landed after it, so it went `CONFLICTING/DIRTY`. Re-running `gofmt` on
current master is cheaper and less error-prone than resolving 72
conflicts that are all whitespace. The drift it fixes also grew in the
meantime: 66 files now, against 72 then, but spread differently.

## The three commits

1. **`style(#1859)`** — `gofmt -w` across the 14 modules. 66 files.
2. **`test(#1859)`** — @SaarMesh-Bot's fix for the one `go vet`
copylocks finding, `cmd/ingestor/coverage_boost_test.go`: the range
variable copied a `Config` embedding `sync.Once`. Cherry-picked
unchanged.
3. **`ci(#1859)`** — @SaarMesh-Bot's CI step that fails on gofmt drift
or vet findings, plus `.git-blame-ignore-revs`. Cherry-picked with one
change, noted in the commit message: the ignore file pointed at
`04bc80ee`, the sweep commit on their branch, which does not exist on
this base and would make `git blame --ignore-revs-file` error. Repointed
at `d3a02599`, the sweep here.

## Verification

The claim "formatting only" is checked twice rather than asserted:

- Every changed file is byte-identical to `gofmt(previous content)`. 0
of 66 deviate.
- With line comments and all whitespace stripped, 0 of 66 files differ,
so no code outside comments changed.

14 of the 66 also show doc-comment reflow. Since Go 1.19 `gofmt`
re-indents indented comment blocks to tabs and inserts a blank comment
line before them; the behavior matrix above `resolveHopWithContext` in
`cmd/ingestor/path_resolver.go` is a clear example. That is gofmt's own
output, not an edit, but it is worth naming because it makes the diff
look larger than "whitespace" suggests.

The gate was run locally exactly as the workflow runs it: `gofmt` clean,
and `go vet` clean in all 14 modules, including `cmd/ingestor` which is
what commit 2 fixes.

Suites: `cmd/server` ok (80.7s), `internal/packetpath` ok (2.3s),
`cmd/ingestor` passes except
`TestWriteStatsAtomic_SymlinkAtDestIsReplaced`, which fails identically
on bare master with "A required privilege is not held by the client"
(Windows symlink privilege on my host, not code).

## Sequencing

This should go last in the queue. The sweep touches 66 files, so merging
it before the remaining open Go PRs gives each of them a conflict about
nothing but formatting. After it lands the gate is active, and any PR
with drift fails CI until it runs `gofmt -w`.

Excluded from the sweep: the misnamed `Dockerfile.go`, which is a
Dockerfile that gofmt cannot parse (the workflow excludes it too), and
`docs/DEPLOYMENT.md`, which a case-insensitive filesystem surfaces as a
spurious modification against `docs/deployment.md` and is unrelated.

Joel ClawandJoel Claw ac6fbaf9f3 perf: reuse ctx buffer in resolvePathForObs, cache ReadMemStats per store (#1873)
## Problem

Three hot-path inefficiencies causing excess CPU and memory allocations:

### 1. `filterTxSlice` starts with nil slice
`filterTxSlice` is called on the full `s.packets` slice (50k+ packets)
for every query that doesn't hit a fast-path index. Starting with `var
result []*StoreTx` means Go's append does ~15 growth+copy cycles
(1→2→4→8→...→32768→65536) before reaching steady state.

### 2. `resolvePathForObs` allocates per hop
Each hop in the path resolution loop allocates a new `ctx` slice
(`make([]string, len(contextPKs), len(contextPKs)+2)`). For a 5-hop
path, that's 5 allocations per observation. With 500+ observations per
ingest batch, that's 2500+ small allocations.

### 3. `estimatedMemoryMB` calls `runtime.ReadMemStats` without caching
`runtime.ReadMemStats()` triggers a STW (stop-the-world) pause. It's
called from stats/debug endpoints (`GetStoreStats`, `GetPerfStoreStats`)
that may be polled frequently. The routes.go layer already caches this
with a 5s TTL, but the store layer doesn't.

## Fix

1. **Pre-allocate `filterTxSlice`**: `make([]*StoreTx, 0, n/2)` — the 2x
over-allocation is cheaper than repeated growth+copy.

2. **Reuse ctx buffer**: Allocate one `ctx` buffer before the hop loop,
reset to base length each iteration with `ctx = ctx[:ctxLen]`.

3. **Cache `ReadMemStats`**: 5-second TTL cache matching the routes.go
pattern. Uses a package-level mutex (not on `PacketStore`) to avoid
adding a field.

## Testing
- `go build` passes
- No behavior change — same results, fewer allocations

efitenandClaude Opus 5 376c3e9f4a fix(packets): surface the transport region scope — detail pane row and a sortable Scope column (#1894)
## Summary

`transmissions.scope_name` (#899) reached the database but never reached
the UI. Two problems, one dead feature and one missing surface.

## 1. The detail pane's Scope row was dead

`public/packets.js:3279` has rendered a **Scope** row since #899, gated
on `pkt.scope_name != null`. It never fires in practice.

`/api/packets` and `/api/packets/{id}` are served from the in-memory
`PacketStore`. The store reads `scope_name` out of SQLite fine
(`store.go:888`, `chunked_load.go:551` → `StoreTx.ScopeName`), but
`txToMap()` did not put it in the JSON. Only packets old enough to have
been evicted from the store — and thus served by the SQLite fallback in
`db.go`, which does emit it — could ever show a scope.

Verified against a live instance before the fix:

```
GET /api/packets/552e9687f1525537 → packet keys:
['_parsedPath','decoded_json','direction','first_seen','hash','id',
 'observation_count','observations','observer_iata','observer_id',
 'observer_name','path_json','payload_type','raw_hex','route_type','rssi','snr','timestamp']
```

No `scope_name`.

### The NULL / "" distinction

`StoreTx.ScopeName` was typed `string`, which collapses the two states
the frontend distinguishes:

| DB value | Meaning | UI |
|---|---|---|
| `NULL` | not transport-scoped | row hidden |
| `""` | transport-scoped, region matched no configured key | muted
"unknown scope" |
| `"#be"` | matched region | the region name |

`route_type` is **not** a usable proxy for that distinction: the
ingestor writes NULL for a transport route whose `transport_code_1` is
`0000` (`cmd/ingestor/db.go:1576` — `IsTransportScoped = route_type IN
(0,3) AND Code1 ≠ "0000"`). So the field is now `*string`, with
`nullStrPtr` preserving what `nullStrVal` collapsed.

The two internal consumers (`TransportedScopes` #1751,
`relayEntry.scope`) only care about non-empty named scopes and are
unchanged in behaviour.

## 2. New: a Scope column on the packets table

The scope was only reachable one packet at a time by opening the detail
pane. It now has its own sortable column between Type and Observer,
visible by default.

The default view is **Group by Hash**, served by mappers that did not
carry `scope_name` at all — so the column would have been empty in
exactly the view most people look at. Both grouped paths now select and
emit it: `groupedTxsToPage` in the store, and the dedicated grouped
query in the DB fallback (v3 and legacy shapes).

Rendering lives in `scopeCellHtml` (`public/app.js`, next to
`transportBadge`) and is used on all three row-render sites — group
header, expanded children, flat rows — so the column and the detail pane
cannot drift apart.

**Sorting** pins the empties last in both directions, as the nodes table
already does for `default_scope`. Only ~8% of packets carry a scope, so
an ascending sort would otherwise bury every scoped row under a wall of
dashes.

**Filtering**: `packet-filter.js` gains a `scope` field, so the cell is
click-to-filter like Type and Observer, and `scope == "#be"` works in
the filter bar.

**Column prefs**: a `packets-known-cols` companion key. The
`packets-visible-cols` array alone cannot distinguish "this column did
not exist when you saved" from "you unchecked it", so any new column
arrives silently hidden for every returning visitor. Keys absent from
`known-cols` get the default treatment; keys the visitor actually hid
stay hidden — there is a test for that second half specifically.

## Tests

Each watched fail first.

**Go** (`cmd/server/packet_scope_name_test.go`)
- `txToMap` unit tests for all three states, including a JSON round-trip
so a typed nil `*string` cannot pass as `null`
- end-to-end through `/api/packets/{hash}`
- `groupedTxsToPage` unit + end-to-end through
`/api/packets?groupByHash=true`, across **both** the store-backed and
DB-fallback paths
- `transported_scopes_1751_test.go`: the "no scope" guard now covers
both non-values (nil and a pointer to `""`)

**Frontend**
- `test-frontend-helpers.js`: `scopeCellHtml` three states + escaping
- `test-packet-filter.js`: `scope` matching, case-insensitivity, and
`FIELDS` registration
- `test-packets-scope-column.js` (new Playwright e2e): header position,
default visibility, one cell per row, em dash on non-transport rows,
empties-last sorting, the Columns toggle, and the prefs backfill

## Verification

Deployed and checked against a live instance:

```
/api/packets?groupByHash=true&limit=500 → scope_name present on 500/500,
                                          59 with a matched region, 1 unknown-scope
test-packets-scope-column.js            → 7 passed, 0 failed
cd cmd/server && go test ./...          → ok
```

Two pre-existing failures, unrelated and equally red on an unmodified
checkout: `test-e2e-playwright.js` "Customizer open does not overwrite
server home config" and `test-observer-iata-1188-e2e.js` (timeout on
`[data-loaded="true"]`).

efitenandJonathan Herlin 89544b1d08 perf: index, cache, and deflake /api/channels queries (rebase of #1887) (#1936)
Continues #1887 by @Jonher937. The commit is theirs, authorship
unchanged; I only rebased it onto master.

It went CONFLICTING because #1934 (prepared statements, originally
@Joel-Claw's #1878) landed in the same `DB` struct. Both PRs add fields
there and this one also replaces the single-slot channels cache.

Resolution: kept this PR's keyed caches (`channelsCache`,
`encChannelsCache`, `msgCache` plus their entry types and TTL constants)
and kept master's thirteen prepared-statement fields alongside them. The
old single-slot `channelsCacheKey`/`channelsCacheRes`/`channelsCacheExp`
trio is gone, which is the point of this PR. Nothing else touched.

Verified: `cmd/server` builds and the **full suite passes**, not just
the channel tests.

My review stands: approve, with two questions that do not block and are
worth a look at some point.

1. `msgCache` is keyed by `hash|limit|offset|region`, and `offset` grows
without bound as someone pages through a channel. Each entry also holds
a full page of message maps, so a full 256-entry cache at `limit=50`
holds around 12,800 maps. The other two caches are keyed by region only
and genuinely low-cardinality as your comment says; this one is the odd
one out.
2. `getMsgCache` returns the cached slice directly, so every hit hands
the caller the same message maps. If any handler mutates one before
serialising, it corrupts the cache for the next ten seconds. Same class
as the finding on #1871, which was fixed there by copying at the two
broadcast sites.

Joel ClawandJoel Claw 4a776454ca perf: remove dead relayTimes field (#1931)
The `relayTimes` field (`map[string][]int64`) on `PacketStore` is never
written to and never read. Its only references are the declaration at
`store.go:180` and the `make()` in `NewPacketStore` at `store.go:644`.

`relay_liveness_test.go` looks like a user at a glance but builds its
own local `idx := make(map[string][]int64)` and passes that to
`addTxToRelayTimeIndex`; the string "relayTimes" there is only inside a

efitenandClaude Opus 5 f081f91b88 fix(#1904): keep resolved full-pubkey hops across a path-hop index rebuild (#1907)
Fixes #1904.

## The bug

`buildPathHopIndex` reassigned `s.byPathHop` to a fresh map and refilled
it from every packet's raw `path_json` hops:

```go
func (s *PacketStore) buildPathHopIndex() {
	s.byPathHop = make(map[string][]*StoreTx, 4096)
	for _, tx := range s.packets {
		addTxToPathHopIndex(s.byPathHop, tx)   // raw hops only
	}
	...
}
```

`byPathHop` carries two kinds of key, though: those raw wire hops, and
the resolved full pubkeys fed per observation by
`indexResolvedPathHops`. The pubkey strings behind the second kind are
retained nowhere — #800 replaced the per-`StoreTx` `ResolvedPath` field
with a hash-only membership index (`resolvedPubkeyIndex` stores FNV
hashes, not strings) — so the rebuild could not reproduce them and
dropped them.

All three call sites run post-load: `LoadChunked`
(`chunked_load.go:459`), the background fill loader (`store.go:1573`),
and the deferred startup build (`index_ready_1008.go:177`). The
`resolved_path` branch of the chunk scan populates the index and is then
silently undone a few hundred lines later, while the `resolved_path IS
NULL` fallback right beside it is explicitly documented as "byNode ONLY
— the resolved_path/path-hop indexes must NOT be populated here". The
two branches disagreed about who owns the index.

Consequence: after a cold start every lookup keyed by a node's full
pubkey missed, so `relay_count_1h/24h`, `last_relayed`,
`unscoped_relay_count_24h`, `transported_scopes` (#1751) and the
usefulness Traffic axis all read zero until live ingestion slowly
refilled the index.

## Evidence

Fixture built from live data: 2512 nodes, 17,056 transmissions, 528,891
observations, 123,057 of them carrying a non-NULL `resolved_path`.

```
before   [store] Built path-hop index: 2924 unique keys
         /api/nodes → 0 of 2000 nodes with transported_scopes
                      0 with relay_count_24h > 0

after    [store] Built path-hop index: 3881 unique keys
                      (172181 resolved-hop entries retained)
         /api/nodes → 726 with transported_scopes
                      741 with relay_count_24h > 0
```

The 957 extra keys are the full pubkeys.

## The change

`retainResolvedPathHops` re-merges the pre-rebuild map's entries that
the raw-hop pass cannot reproduce.

Entries are carried over **only for transmissions still in
`s.packets`**. That filter is load-bearing rather than defensive.
`removeTxFromPathHopIndex` strips raw hops only — it derives them from
`txGetParsedPath` — and its companion `removeFromResolvedPubkeyIndex`
cleans the hash index, not `byPathHop`. So evicted transmissions linger
under their resolved keys, and the wipe this PR removes was the only
thing that ever cleared them. Filtering on liveness keeps the index
bounded by the eviction policy instead of converting that gap into a
permanent leak.
`TestBuildPathHopIndex_DropsResolvedHopsOfEvictedTx_1904` pins it.

(The eviction gap itself is pre-existing and outside this change:
between rebuilds, an evicted transmission still stays referenced under
its resolved keys. Filed separately.)

## Perf

`O(entries in prev)` with one scratch map reused across keys (`clear()`
per key, the same idiom as `hopsSeen`), plus one `map[*StoreTx]struct{}`
over `s.packets` for the liveness check. It runs only where
`buildPathHopIndex` already ran — cold load and background-fill
completion — never on an ingest or request path. Measured on the fixture
above: index build stayed within the same `LoadChunked` step, 15.2s
total for 17k transmissions / 527k observations.

Memory: the retained entries point at transmissions already held by
`s.packets`, so no `StoreTx` is kept alive beyond eviction; the cost is
map/slice overhead for keys that the feature is supposed to have.

## Tests

`cmd/server/pathhop_rebuild_1904_test.go`, red before / green after:

1. `TestBuildPathHopIndex_RetainsResolvedHops_1904` — a resolved
full-pubkey key survives the rebuild alongside the raw hop.
2. `TestBuildPathHopIndex_DropsResolvedHopsOfEvictedTx_1904` — a
resolved key whose transmission is no longer in `s.packets` is dropped,
and the now-empty key is not left behind.
3. `TestBuildPathHopIndex_NoDuplicateOnRepeatedBuild_1904` — building
twice does not double-append (`indexResolvedPathHops` dedups within a
call, not across the several observations of one transmission, so `prev`
can legitimately contain duplicates).

```
cd cmd/server && go test ./...    ok  github.com/corescope/server  85.5s
go vet ./...                      clean
```

Frontend and ingestor suites are untouched by this change (Go server
only, no `public/` files).

## Interaction with #1903

Both touch `byPathHop` semantics, so I verified them composed on the
same fixture. With #1904 alone the resolved keys come back and #1902's
prefix collision is plainly visible again (51% of 1-byte prefix groups
reporting an identical scope set). With both:

```
f79616  BE repeater      ['#be','#de','#eu','#nl']   relay24h=542
f752c2  DE/NRW repeater  ['#de','#de-nw']            relay24h=343
f788ad  BE repeater      none                        relay24h=383
```

Identical-set prefix groups fall to 8%, relay counts stay intact, and
each node's scopes match what its own `resolved_path` rows say. The two
changes are independent and compose cleanly.

efitenandJoel Claw 2f711eb851 perf: use prepared statements for frequently-called server DB queries (rebase of #1878) (#1934)
Continues #1878 by @Joel-Claw, at their request. Both commits are
theirs, authorship unchanged; I only rebased them onto master and
resolved the conflict with #1909.

## The conflict, and how it is resolved

Exactly the two places I named in the review on #1878: `OpenDB` and
`Close()`. Both PRs rewrite them, and #1909 went first because it is the
correctness fix.

**`OpenDB`** — kept #1909's pinned-connection `detectSchema` and added
this PR's `prepareStatements()` after it:

```go
derr := d.detectSchema(ctx, sc)
_ = sc.Close()
if derr != nil { conn.Close(); return nil, fmt.Errorf("schema detection failed: %w", derr) }
// Statements are prepared after schema detection so they can never be
// compiled against a schema mode that turned out to be wrong (#1901).
if err := d.prepareStatements(); err != nil { ... }
```

The ordering matters and is not arbitrary: preparing before detection
would compile statements against a schema mode that #1909 exists to stop
trusting.

**`Close()`** — kept this PR's statement closing and **did not** restore
the WAL checkpoint. #1909 removed it deliberately: the handle is
`mode=ro`, so `PRAGMA wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE)` can only ever fail with
"disk I/O error (778)" and was emitting a misleading storage-fault line
on every shutdown. That reasoning survives; the statement closing is
added in front of it.

## Verification

- Both commits cherry-picked onto `e5595ad9`
- `cmd/server` builds
- **Full `cmd/server` suite: ok, 0 failures** (not just the targeted DB
tests — after master briefly went red today from a two-PR interaction, a
full local run seemed worth the two minutes)

## Review points still open, none blocking

From my review on #1878, unchanged by the rebase:

1. Every SQL string now exists twice, once prepared and once as the
`stmtQueryRow` fallback literal, with nothing keeping them in sync. The
fallback is genuinely needed — twelve test helpers build `&DB{conn:
...}` directly and never call `prepareStatements` — but a constructor
for those helpers would remove the duplication.
2. `stmtCountObsLastHour` and `stmtCountObsLastDay` are byte-identical
SQL.
3. `OpenDB` now refuses to start rather than degrading when a Prepare
fails. Contained today, since none of the 13 prepared queries touch a
schema-conditional column, but the failure mode changed.

@Joel-Claw — your work, your credit. Ping me if you would rather take it
back.

efitenandClaude Opus 5 d821d9a390 feat(retention): add observerPurgeDays hard-delete for long-inactive observers (#1886)
## Problem

`RemoveStaleObservers` only soft-deletes — it sets `inactive = 1` and
the row stays forever. On a long-running deployment those rows just
accumulate: on a two-year-old instance roughly 25% of the `observers`
table was rows nobody can ever see again.

There is currently no way to reclaim them.

## Fix

A second retention stage. `PurgeStaleObservers` hard-deletes rows that
are:

- already `inactive = 1` (so the soft-delete stage owns the decision of
*when* an observer goes stale), **and**
- older than `retention.observerPurgeDays`, **and**
- referenced by nothing.

New config field `retention.observerPurgeDays`, default `0` = disabled.
Existing deployments are unaffected until they opt in. Set it above both
`observerDays` and `packetDays` — below those the reference guards keep
every candidate row anyway.

## Why the reference guards are the point

`observations.observer_idx` is a bare rowid with no foreign key.
Deleting a still-referenced observer silently orphans history —
`packets_v` stops resolving the observer and those packets get
mis-attributed. Nothing errors; the data just quietly goes wrong.

So the statement guards on all three referencing tables:

```sql
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM observations o     WHERE o.observer_idx = observers.rowid)
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM observer_metrics m WHERE m.observer_id  = observers.id)
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM dropped_packets d  WHERE d.observer_id  = observers.id)
```

This is correctness, not defensive padding — it was found the hard way,
by orphaning 280 observation rows during a manual purge that skipped one
of these checks. Each guard has its own test.

## Performance

Each `NOT EXISTS` is an index seek per candidate row
(`idx_observations_observer_idx`, `idx_dropped_observer`, the
`observer_metrics` PK), and `observers` is O(100). It runs on the
existing daily retention tick alongside `RemoveStaleObservers`, never on
the ingest path.

## Tests

Eight tests in `cmd/ingestor/observer_purge_test.go`, written before the
implementation:

- deletes an unreferenced stale row
- keeps a row referenced by `observations` — and asserts zero orphans
afterwards
- keeps a row referenced by `observer_metrics`
- keeps a row referenced by `dropped_packets`
- keeps a row that is old enough but still `inactive = 0`
- keeps a row inside the retention window
- no-ops when disabled (`0` and `-1`)
- config accessor table test

## Invariant

Writes stay in `cmd/ingestor` per #1283.
`cmd/server/readonly_invariant_test.go` now also forbids
`PurgeStaleObservers` as a method on the server's `*DB`.

TeTeHackoandClaude Opus 5 97b6090344 fix(hash-size): key the zero-hop advert skip on the path byte, not the route type (#1913)
## Summary

`computeNodeHashSizeInfo` skips zero-hop direct adverts by **route
type**. It should skip them by the **content of the path byte**, because
the two cases are no longer the same thing.

A zero-hop direct advert carries no path, so its hop count is 0. Whether
the two size bits next to it mean anything depends on the sender:

- Firmware that predates
[meshcore-dev/MeshCore#3293](https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore/pull/3293)
does `packet->path_len = 0` in `Mesh::sendZeroHop()`, wiping the whole
byte including the size bits. `0x00` genuinely says nothing about the
node's `path.hash.mode` — skipping it is right, and #649 was right.
- A sender that writes the size through `setPathHashSizeAndCount()`
emits `0x40` (2 bytes) or `0x80` (3 bytes) with a zero hop count. On a
zero-hop packet nothing else can set those bits, so they are a
deliberate declaration.

#653 landed the skip as `pathByte & 0x3F == 0`, which swallows the
second case too. The diagnosis in #649 had actually proposed `pathByte
== 0x00`; the review widened it on the reasoning that a zero hop count
always implies zeroed size bits. That was true in April, when no
firmware wrote them.

It is not true now. On the Czech mesh (869.4 MHz), a 24h window of 10k
packets holds **54 zero-hop direct adverts: 39 at `0x00` and 15 carrying
a declared size** (14× `0x40`, 1× `0x80`).

## Why it matters for display, not just tidiness

Measured on one node over a 7-day window. A companion was reconfigured
from a 2-byte to a 3-byte path hash. Its first advert under the new
setting was a zero-hop direct one on **24 Aug 15:36 UTC** declaring
`0x80`. That packet was dropped, so the node kept reading as 2-byte
until its next **flood** advert arrived on **25 Aug 10:18 UTC** — 18h42m
serving a configuration the analyzer had already been told was stale,
confirmed against both an unpatched and a patched instance.

With local adverts typically every 2h and flood adverts every 25h, that
gap is the normal case rather than a corner one. It bites hardest on an
instance whose retention window is shorter than a flood advert interval:
there the node has *no* countable advert at all and falls out of
`hash_size` entirely (which is what #1912 is about on the rendering
side).

## Change

`(pathByte & 0x3F) == 0` → `pathByte == 0x00`, in
`computeNodeHashSizeInfo` and in `computeAnalyticsHashSizes` so the two
views agree. `isZeroHop` renamed to `isUndeclaredZeroHop` in the latter,
since that is now what it means. No complexity change — same single byte
comparison inside the existing scan.

## Measured A/B

Two builds of the **same commit**, one with the change, both run
read-only against the same copy of a real 181k-transmission / 973-node
database:

| | baseline | patched |
|---|---|---|
| nodes changed | — | **1** |
| nodes regressed | — | **0** |
| `hash_size_inconsistent` | 6 | **6** |
| `multi_byte_status` split | 726 / 161 / 86 | unchanged |

The flip-flop flag not moving is the point worth checking: a node that
legitimately changes its mode mid-window is still handled by the recency
decay from #1788, so reading these packets does not resurrect false
"varies".

## Tests

`cd cmd/server && go test ./...` → **ok**, 0 failures. Coverage 83.5%,
unchanged from master.

5 new cases in `cmd/server/zerohop_hashsize_test.go`, two built from
real off-air packets:

- zero-hop DIRECT `0x40` → `HashSize 2` (was: dropped)
- zero-hop DIRECT `0x80` → `HashSize 3`
- zero-hop DIRECT `0x00` → still absent from the map, i.e. #649's
behaviour preserved
- TRANSPORT_DIRECT at path-byte offset 5, declared vs wiped
- the declared size reaching `computeMultiByteCapability` as
`confirmed`, which is what the map's multi-byte overlay reads

**One existing test changed, flagging it explicitly:**
`TestHashSizeTransportDirectZeroHopSkipped` used `0x40` as its "should
be skipped" fixture. It now uses `0x00` — the case it was written to
cover, since #747 was about the missing `RouteTransportDirect` skip
rather than about the size bits. The `0x40` case is covered by the new
tests with the opposite expectation.

## Deliberately not touched

The decoders (`cmd/server/decoder.go:648`,
`cmd/ingestor/decoder.go:1045`) still report `HashSize 0` for these
packets, so per-packet views keep showing the size as unknown. Arguably
they should follow the same rule, but that changes packet display rather
than node attribution and felt like a separate call for you to make.

## Caveat worth stating

This attributes a declared size to the pubkey inside the advert. That
holds as long as the advert was transmitted by the node that owns it —
the same assumption the existing zero-hop **flood** path already makes,
so this change does not widen it.

e8f32df4dc feat(#1784): gate ingestor neighbor-edge creation on the path-trust threshold (rebase of #1863) (#1930)
Continues #1863. Three of the four commits are @Saarlandpower's and
@SaarMesh-Bot's, authorship unchanged. The fourth is mine and is
explained below.

## Why a rebase was needed

#1863 was stacked on #1824, and #1841 merged instead. Both carried the
same pathTrust base from different commits, which is why the two
conflicted while each reported MERGEABLE against master. Cherry-picking
#1863's own three commits onto master applied cleanly with no conflicts,
which confirms its actual work was always independent of that duplicated
base.

## The fourth commit, and a correction to something I got wrong

The three commits do not build on master:

```
cmd/ingestor/main.go:455:23: cfg.GetPathTrust undefined (type *Config has no field or method GetPathTrust)
```

**#1824 added the pathTrust config and helper to both
`cmd/server/config.go` and `cmd/ingestor/config.go`. #1841 carried only
the server half** — one of its own commits is titled "remove ingestor
side". I then closed #1824 as superseded by #1841, which is true for the
server side and wrong for the ingestor side. Master has no pathTrust
code in `cmd/ingestor/config.go` at all.

The fourth commit restores that half, unchanged from `beae2c1c`: the
`packetpath` import, the `PathTrust` field, the `PathTrustConfig` alias,
`GetPathTrust`, and `cmd/ingestor/config_test.go` verbatim (28 lines
covering the default, an explicit value, and a nil `*Config` receiver).
That code is @Bjorkan's and @SaarMesh-Bot's from #1824, not mine; I only
put it back.

## Verification

- All three original commits cherry-picked onto `b3a306b8` with **no
conflicts**
- `cmd/ingestor` builds, and its `PathTrust|Neighbor|Config` tests pass
- `cmd/server` `Neighbor|PathTrust|AnonReq|Edge` tests pass

## Interaction with #1929

#1929 moves `DefaultMinHashBytesForMapping` from 2 to 1. With that in,
this PR's ingestor gate is a no-op by default and only takes effect when
an operator sets `minHashBytesForMapping` to 2 or 3, which is the opt-in
shape #1784 asks for. The two are complementary; merge order between
them does not matter.

@Saarlandpower @SaarMesh-Bot — your work, your credit. Say the word and
I will close this and hand the rebase back, or push it to the #1863
branch if you would rather that stayed the vehicle.

1720060284 fix(#1827): avoid per-observation SQL fetch in handleObserverAnalytics hot loop (#1829)
## Summary

Fixes the CPU/DoS issue in #1827: observer detail pages were saturating
CPU on busy observers — 6-7 concurrently loaded tabs pegged 12 cores for
seconds, and auto-refresh made it self-sustaining.

## Root cause

`handleObserverAnalytics` iterated every observation in the requested
window and called `enrichObs()` per observation just to read
`payload_type` and `decoded_json` for the `packetTypes`/`nodesTimeline`
aggregates. `enrichObs()` also runs an on-demand SQL `SELECT
resolved_path FROM observations WHERE id=?` (`fetchResolvedPathForObs`)
and builds a full response map — both of which are unused by this
aggregation loop. `resolved_path` is only actually consumed by the
`<=20` kept `recentPackets` entries.

Per the triage in #1827 (@carmack): *"Replacing `enrichObs(obs)` with a
direct `s.store.byTxID[obs.TransmissionID].PayloadType` read (as
sketched in the body) drops a map alloc + interface boxes per obs on the
loop that saturated the operator's 12 cores. Byte-identical output.
That's ~90% of the value."*

This PR implements exactly that fast-path.

## Change

- Aggregate loop (`packetTypes`, `nodesTimeline`): read
`payload_type`/`decoded_json` directly off the transmission via
`s.store.byTxID[obs.TransmissionID]` — no SQL, no per-obs map
allocation.
- `recentPackets` (`<=20` entries): unchanged, still calls `enrichObs()`
since it needs `resolved_path`/`raw_hex`/etc. for display.
- Output is unchanged: `packetTypes`/`nodesTimeline` are computed from
the exact same underlying fields (`tx.PayloadType`, `tx.DecodedJSON`),
just without the O(N) SQL round-trips.

## Scope

This is the concrete hot-path fix from #1827's triage — not the broader
`/api/observers/{id}/analytics` endpoint-split proposal in #1828, which
(per that issue's discussion) is a separate P3 follow-up. #1828's own
triage converged on this same `byTxID` fast-path as "the ground-work
minimum" before any endpoint splitting.

## Testing

- Existing `TestObserverAnalytics` passes unchanged.
- Extended `TestObserverAnalytics/default` to assert `packetTypes`
counts come out correct (`{"4":2,"5":1}` for the seeded fixture) via the
new `byTxID` path, and that `recentPackets` still carries
`resolved_path` where present (confirming the `enrichObs()` path for
those 20 entries is untouched).
- `go build ./...` and `go vet ./...` clean in `cmd/server`.
- Full `go test ./...` in `cmd/server`: passes except 4 pre-existing
test-order-dependent failures in `TestHandleNodePaths_*` (unrelated to
this change — reproduced identically on a fresh, unpatched clone of
`upstream/master`).

1441734991 fix(#1901): detectSchema fails loud instead of caching wrong schema mode (#1909)
Fixes #1901.

Thanks to @MarekWo for the exceptionally thorough report — root cause,
repro, and a prioritised fix checklist in one. This implements it.

## Problem

`detectSchema()` swallowed any probe-query error with a bare `return`,
so a single transient failure of the first `PRAGMA
table_info(observations)` at startup left `isV3` (and the feature flags)
at their zero value **for the entire process lifetime**. The server then
ran v2 SQL against a v3 DB: Packets page empty,
`/api/channels/<name>/messages` → 500, logs full of `no such column:
o.observer_id`, while the database was perfectly healthy. Nothing
re-checked the flag, so only a manual restart recovered it.

## Fix

Works through the report's checklist:

- **Don't swallow the error.** `detectSchema` now returns `error` and
`OpenDB` aborts on it. `main.go` already `log.Fatalf`s on an `OpenDB`
failure, so the supervisord/Docker restart policy retries and a
transient cause clears on the next attempt — strictly better than
serving a broken read API.
- **Log the mode unconditionally** — `[db] schema mode: v3
(observer_idx)` / `v2 (observer_id)`. A clean startup log is now
positive evidence detection ran, not just an absence of errors.
- **Run detection on a single pinned connection** (`conn.Conn(ctx)`)
rather than an arbitrary pooled one, so the startup race in the report's
hypothesis can't quietly hand detection a fresh, not-yet-openable handle
— if the connection can't be acquired, we fail loud.
- **`Close()` no longer checkpoints the read-only handle.** `PRAGMA
wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE)` on a `mode=ro` connection always failed with
`disk I/O error (778)` and looked like a storage fault on every shutdown
(the report's aside). The ingestor (the writer) owns WAL checkpointing.

The three near-identical PRAGMA scan loops are consolidated into one
`schemaColumns()` helper that returns errors instead of ignoring `Scan`
failures.

### On the "single source of truth" item

The report suggests deriving `isV3` from `dbschema.TableHasColumn(...)`.
I kept the PRAGMA-scan structure here because `detectSchema` sets six
flags from three tables in a single pass; swapping to `TableHasColumn`
would mean six separate probe calls and wouldn't actually be cleaner.
The goal it was aimed at — never cache a false negative — is met by
making the existing scan fail loud. Happy to switch to the
single-probe-per-column shape if you'd prefer it.

### Honest note on the connection

`conn.Conn(ctx)` pins *a* single connection for all four probes and
fails loud if it can't be acquired; it does not guarantee the literal
connection `Ping()` validated (`database/sql` doesn't expose that). The
fail-fast is what actually closes the bug — a mis-detected schema aborts
startup instead of persisting for the process lifetime.

## Tests

- `TestDetectSchemaFailsLoudOnProbeError` — injects a probe failure
through a `rowQuerier` and asserts the error propagates and `isV3` stays
unset (the invariant the old bare-`return` violated).
- `TestDetectSchemaV3AndV2` — covers both schema shapes through
`OpenDB`.

`go vet ./cmd/server` and `go build` are clean; targeted `go test -run
'DetectSchema|OpenDB'` is green.

Heads-up on the full `go test ./cmd/server` run: a handful of
`TestHandleNodePaths_*` / `TestHandleAnalytics*` tests return `503 index
loading`, plus one intentional panic test — these fail identically on
pristine `master` (`a06ac8ac`) with this branch stashed, i.e. they're
pre-existing/timing-related and untouched by this change.

Out of scope (per the issue): frontend behaviour when the API 500s.

0d6f59ab2d fix(#1864): decode ANON_REQ source pubkey instead of treating it like REQUEST (#1866)
Fixes #1864.

## Problem
`PAYLOAD_TYPE_ANON_REQ` was effectively treated like `REQUEST`. The two
differ on the wire:

```
REQUEST :  <dest hash 1B> <source hash 1B>          <hmac 2B> <encrypted>
ANON_REQ:  <dest hash 1B> <source pubkey 32B, full> <hmac 2B> <encrypted>
```

The decoders read the right bytes but surfaced the sender key as
`ephemeralPubKey`, which meant:
- `store.go`'s node indexer keys on `pubKey`/`destPubKey`/`srcPubKey`,
so ANON_REQ packets were **not** indexed — they didn't show up on a
node's packet view; and
- the packets list "details" rendered a bare `anon → <destHash>`,
throwing away the sender identity the packet actually carries.
- the detail side-view byte breakdown fell through the REQ catch-all,
mislabelling a nonexistent 1-byte "Src Hash" and placing
MAC/Encrypted-Data at the wrong offsets (`+2`/`+4` instead of
`+33`/`+35`).

## Fix
**Backend** (`cmd/ingestor` + `cmd/server` decoders)
- Surface the ANON_REQ sender key as `srcPubKey` (json) so it's indexed
and resolvable. The frontend keeps a legacy `ephemeralPubKey` reader so
packets decoded before this rename still resolve — no DB migration
needed.
- `TestDecodeAnonReqValid` now asserts the full 32-byte `srcPubKey`.

**Frontend**
- `hop-resolver.js`: new O(1) `nameForKey(pubkey)` using the existing
`pubkeyIdx` (all nodes).
- `getDetailPreview`: resolve the source pubkey to a node **name** when
known, else show the first 8 hex chars — no more bare `anon`.
- Detail side-view: explicit ANON_REQ breakdown — `Dest Hash (1B)` |
`Src Public Key (32B)` (node-linked) | `MAC @+33` | `Encrypted Data
@+35`.
- Detail header `srcLabel` falls back to the resolved ANON_REQ sender.
All rendered names are `escapeHtml`-wrapped.

## Testing
- `go test ./...` green for both `cmd/ingestor` and `cmd/server` (incl.
strengthened `TestDecodeAnonReqValid`).
- `node --check` on `packets.js`; brace/paren balance + markers verified
on `hop-resolver.js`.
- No HTML sink lines added → XSS preflight gate unaffected; every
interpolated name is escaped.

52d08214bb fix(#1749): decouple watchdog emit from blocking I/O (root cause) (#1853)
Closes the gap left by #1810: that PR added defer/recover around the
watchdog per-source work so a **panic** inside emit cannot kill the
loop, but the actual production incident is caused by emit **blocking**,
not panicking.

## Root cause

In production `emit` is `log.Print`. `log.Print`'s underlying `write()`
can block indefinitely if the sink is backpressured (Docker JSON-file
log driver falling behind under load, a full stderr pipe, journald
hiccups, etc.). A blocked syscall is not a panic -- `recover()` does
nothing for it.

Because emit was called **synchronously** inside the per-source work, a
single stuck `write()` froze the entire tick loop forever -- no further
source was ever checked and no further tick was ever processed again.
This exactly reproduces the original #1749 incident even after #1810
landed: 3 independent MQTT sources going silent within ~60s of each
other (one shared dependency -- the watchdog goroutine itself -- died,
not 3 independent paho clients), zero WATCHDOG log lines for the rest of
the 75-minute window, every other goroutine in the process continuing to
run fine (a hang, not a crash), and only a full container restart
recovering it.

## Fix

`newAsyncEmit` decouples "decide to log" from "perform the write": the
watchdog loop now only ever does a non-blocking channel send. A single
background goroutine drains the channel and performs the (potentially
blocking) write. If that goroutine itself gets stuck, the bounded queue
(256) fills and further sends are dropped -- counted via the new
`WatchdogLogDropCount`, surfaced through `/api/mqtt/status` and the
ingestor stats snapshot alongside `WatchdogLastTickUnix` /
`WatchdogPanicCount`. Worst case under a persistent backpressure event
is now lost log lines (visible and counted), not a silently dead
watchdog (invisible and undetectable -- the actual #1749 failure).

## Tests

- `TestNewAsyncEmit_NeverBlocksWhenWriterStuck_1749` -- floods emit()
past queue capacity while the writer is permanently blocked; every call
must return immediately and drops must be counted.
- `TestMQTTStallWatchdog_LoopSurvivesStuckWriter_1749` -- end-to-end,
wires `runLivenessWatchdogLoop` exactly as production does (via
`newAsyncEmit` around a permanently-blocking `realEmit`) with 3
registered sources, reproducing the incident shape and asserting the
loop keeps ticking regardless.
- `TestRunLivenessWatchdog_ProductionWiringUsesAsyncEmit_1749` --
smoke-tests the real entrypoint starts, ticks, and stops cleanly.
- `WatchdogLogDropCount` round-trip tests in both the ingestor stats
snapshot and the server's `/api/mqtt/status` handler, mirroring the
existing `WatchdogPanicCount` coverage from #1810.

All pre-existing watchdog/liveness tests (#1749, #1810 r1,
force-reconnect) continue to pass unmodified; full ingestor suite green
(verified 5x consecutive runs for flake-freedom). Note: the server
package has pre-existing test-suite-wide flakiness in unrelated
`TestHandleNodePaths_*` tests (confirmed reproducible on unmodified
master too, non-deterministic which subset fails per run) -- unrelated
to this change and out of scope here.

6528c7ba3e fix(#1854): move relay last_seen touch to the ingestor — server writes have been no-ops since mode=ro (#1855)
Fixes #1854. Refs #1598, #1611, #1845.

## The bug

`cmd/server/db.go:54` opens SQLite `mode=ro` (#1283/#1289).
`touchRelayLastSeen` → `TouchNodeLastSeen` issues `UPDATE nodes SET
last_seen` on that handle. It has failed on every call since, with the
error discarded at the call site:

```go
if err := s.db.TouchNodeLastSeen(pk, ts); err == nil {
        s.lastSeenTouched[pk] = now
}
```

`nodes.last_seen` has therefore tracked ADVERT arrivals only. Verified
on live.saarmesh.de (1388 nodes): 1362 have `last_seen` within one
minute of their own most recent ADVERT. Reproduced directly with the
server's DSN in #1854.

Secondary effect: `lastSeenTouched` is populated only in the success
branch, so the debounce never engaged — the server retried the failing
UPDATE for every resolved pubkey in every decode window.

## The fix

The writer moves to `cmd/ingestor`, which owns `nodes` per #1283/#1287
and since #1547 already resolves hop prefixes to full pubkeys for
`observations.resolved_path`. The touch hooks into that existing
resolution point, so there is no new IPC surface and no second resolver.
Only unambiguously resolved hops qualify — a 1-byte prefix collision
cannot keep a silent node alive.

I considered the `internal/mbcapqueue` snapshot handoff used for
#903/#1324 and did not need it: that pattern exists because the
capability computation lives in the server's analytics cycle. Path
resolution already happens in the ingestor, so a file handoff would add
a hop for nothing.

`Store.TouchRelayNodes`:

- monotonic guard in SQL (`last_seen IS NULL OR last_seen < ?`) —
out-of-order ingest never rewinds
- 5-minute debounce keyed on `rxTime`, matching the interval the server
intended
- UPDATE only — unknown pubkeys never create rows
- unparsable `rxTime` is a no-op rather than writing garbage into the
node directory
- `Stats.RelayTouches` for `/api/perf` visibility
- debounce records the *attempt*, not the row match, so an unknown
pubkey is not retried per observation

## Server-side removal

`touchRelayLastSeen`, `DB.TouchNodeLastSeen`, the `lastSeenTouched` map
and the now-unused `allResolvedPKs` decode-window map are deleted.
`readonly_invariant_test.go` gains `UPDATE\s+nodes\s+SET\s+last_seen`.

`cmd/server/touch_last_seen_test.go` and two tests in
`resolved_index_test.go` go with it. Worth stating why they were green
for months: they build their `PacketStore` on `setupTestDB`, which opens
read-write. The production constraint is the one thing they did not
reproduce, which is why the added invariant regex — not a replacement
unit test — is the right guard here.

## Tests

Five tests in `cmd/ingestor/relay_touch_test.go`, committed red first
(573bbde3) with a stubbed `TouchRelayNodes` so the suite compiles and
reds on assertions:

```
--- FAIL: TestTouchRelayNodes_AdvancesLastSeen
    last_seen = "2026-07-01T00:00:00Z", want "2026-07-10T12:00:00Z"
    RelayTouches = 0, want 1
--- FAIL: TestTouchRelayNodes_Debounces
    RelayTouches = 0, want 1 (second touch should be debounced)
```

Coverage: `AdvancesLastSeen` (core regression), `NeverGoesBackwards`
(monotonic), `Debounces` (write amplification on the hot path),
`IgnoresEmptyAndUnknown` (unresolved hops must not create rows),
`MalformedTimestamp`.

`cmd/ingestor`: full suite green, 100.7s.

`cmd/server`: green for the invariant and the affected packages, but the
suite is order-dependent on master today. Unmodified `upstream/master`
produced 8 failures on this machine (`TestHandleNodePaths_*`,
`TestHandleAnalytics*`, `TestComputeAnalyticsDistanceLockHoldDuration`);
this branch produced 5, and the set shifts between runs. All pass in
isolation. Untouched by this change — flagging rather than papering
over, and happy to open a separate issue if that is not already known.

## Impact on the open threads

This is the backend half of #1598. The frontend work there keys on relay
recency; that signal was never being written, so the two changes are
complementary rather than alternatives. It also removes the eviction
problem I raised in #1845 without touching `MoveStaleNodes`: once
`last_seen` reflects relay activity, the existing `last_seen < cutoff`
predicate stops evicting nodes that are carrying traffic.

Not addressed here: the duplicate-row behaviour between `nodes` and
`inactive_nodes` (609 keys in both on my deployment), which is an
independent defect and wants its own change.

## Verification offer

I run a 1100-repeater MeshCore deployment and can run this against
production traffic and report `RelayTouches` plus the resulting
`last_seen` distribution before/after, if that is useful for review.

efitenandClaude Opus 5 b3a306b81f fix(#1888): count only live observers in the store's /api/stats query (#1892)
Fixes #1888.

## The mismatch

`/api/stats.totalObservers` and `/api/observers` counted different sets:

| Source | Predicate |
|---|---|
| `cmd/server/store.go:2089` (store path) | `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM
observers` — every row |
| `cmd/server/db.go:336` (DB fallback) | `WHERE inactive IS NULL OR
inactive = 0` |
| `db.GetObservers()` → `/api/observers` | `WHERE inactive IS NULL OR
inactive = 0` |

`handleStats` uses the store path whenever a `PacketStore` exists
(`routes.go:785`), which is every normal deployment. So the header count
came from the unfiltered query while the Observers page listed the
filtered set. The two stats implementations also disagreed with each
other for the same database, which is a bug on its own.

## Reproduction

The gap is exactly the observers the `observerDays` retention sweep has
soft-deleted. On the instance I reproduced against:

```
GET /api/stats     → totalObservers: 79
GET /api/observers → observers.length == 51
```

```sql
SELECT 'all',      COUNT(*) FROM observers                                    -- 79
UNION ALL SELECT 'active',   COUNT(*) FROM observers WHERE inactive IS NULL OR inactive = 0  -- 51
UNION ALL SELECT 'inactive', COUNT(*) FROM observers WHERE inactive = 1;      -- 28
```

79 − 28 = 51. Same shape as the 82 vs 51 in the issue.

## The change

One line: the store's stats query gets the same predicate the other two
already use, so all three agree.

## Deliberately out of scope

Two things the issue raises that this does **not** fix, called out so
they are not mistaken for done:

- **Config blacklist.** `buildObserversDefaultResponse` drops
blacklisted observers in the handler loop (`routes.go:2752`), which no
SQL count can see. A deployment with a non-empty `observerBlacklist`
will still show a stats count higher than the list, by the number of
blacklisted-but-live observers. Closing that needs config plumbing into
the count and is a separate change — happy to follow up if wanted.
- **Map controls.** The third surface named in the issue derives its
count from node role aggregates (`roleCounts`), not from the observer
set at all. That is a frontend concern and untouched here.

## Tests

`cmd/server/observer_count_1888_test.go`, three cases, each watched fail
first:

1. `TestStoreStatsTotalObserversExcludesSoftDeleted` — `TotalObservers =
5, want 4`
2. `TestStoreStatsTotalObserversMatchesObserverList` — `stats
totalObservers = 5 but /api/observers lists 4`
3. `TestStoreAndDBStatsAgreeOnTotalObservers` — `store path reports 5
observers, DB fallback reports 4`

The fixture includes a row with `inactive = NULL` alongside `inactive =
0` and `inactive = 1`, since `GetObservers` treats NULL as live and only
the `1` may be excluded.

`cd cmd/server && go test ./...` → ok (87s).

SaarlandpowerandClaude 0352c9a287 fix(clock-skew): restrict per-node skew to self-originated adverts (#1816, #1818) (#1820)
Closes #1816. Closes #1818 (confirmed duplicate of #1816 by the triage
bot).

## Root cause

`byNode` is an involvement index (`indexResolvedPathHops`,
`store.go:1696-1705`, #1558/#1352): a transmission is indexed under
every relay-hop pubkey found in an observation's `resolved_path`, not
just its originator. `getNodeClockSkewLocked` (`clock_skew.go:489`)
iterated every ADVERT transaction under a pubkey without checking who
actually signed it, so a relay inherited the clock skew of every
broken-clock node it forwarded as if it were its own.

This produced:
- Fleet-wide false `no_clock`/`bimodal_clock` classifications on healthy
relays whose only "bad" samples were adverts they merely relayed.
- Bit-identical `RecentMedianSkewSec` "clusters" across unrelated relays
that all forwarded the same broken-clock originator.
- Single relays showing a multi-day skew even though their own
self-adverts are healthy, because 1-2 relayed adverts from a broken
originator landed in the tail of their small recent-window sample (the
#1818 "island" repro from @cwichura).

## Fix

Add `txOriginatedBy(tx, pubkey)`: ADVERTs are self-signed, so
`decoded["pubKey"]` is the originator per protocol (case-insensitive
compare as a defensive measure). Apply it as a guard in both the main
skew-aggregation loop and the per-hash evidence loop in
`getNodeClockSkewLocked`. `byNode` itself is untouched — #1558/#1352
still rely on the broader involvement index for other consumers.

## Tests

- Existing `clock_skew_test.go` / `clock_skew_issue1094_test.go` /
`clock_skew_issue1285_test.go` fixtures built synthetic ADVERT
transactions without a `pubKey` field and seeded `s.byNode` directly,
bypassing the normal `indexByNode` path where every real ADVERT carries
`pubKey`. Added `pubKey` to each fixture so it reflects a
self-originated advert, which is what these tests already intended to
represent. All pre-existing tests pass unchanged in behavior.
- New `clock_skew_issue1816_test.go`:
- `TestTxOriginatedBy` — unit coverage of the new guard (self, foreign,
missing pubKey, case-insensitivity).
- `TestIssue1816_RelayDoesNotInheritOriginatorSkew` — a relay with
healthy self-adverts plus relayed adverts from a broken-clock originator
(matching the report's +100.5k s band) must report `ok` severity based
only on its own adverts.
- `TestIssue1816_PureRelaysReportNoSkew_NoBitIdenticalCluster` — five
relay pubkeys that only ever forward a broken originator's advert (never
self-advert) must report `nil`, not a bit-identical copy of the
originator's skew.
- `TestIssue1818_TwoForeignAdvertsDoNotPoisonIslandNode` — reproduces
the cwichura island scenario: 8 healthy self-adverts + 2 foreign adverts
at ~10 days skew must not flip severity or pollute
`RecentMedianSkewSec`.

Full suite: `go test ./...` passes (one pre-existing, unrelated flaky
test — `TestHandleNodePaths_PrefixCollision_1352`, an index-loading race
— reproduces intermittently on unmodified `master` too).

Operator context: running CoreScope for SaarMesh (SaarLorLux, DE/FR/LU,
800+ nodes); this bug was surfacing as fleet-wide clock-skew false
positives on our infra nodes.

9ef4179ef1 fix(release): report correct version on fast-path retagged images (#1807) (#1814)
Fixes #1807.

Implements the fix path from the triage (env → image-version file →
baked version, zero rebuild cost):

## Changes

**`cmd/server/main.go` — `resolveVersion()` fallback chain**
1. `CORESCOPE_VERSION` env (operator override)
2. `.image-version` file in the working dir (`/app` in the container) —
mirrors the existing `.git-commit` pattern in `resolveCommit()`
3. ldflags-baked `Version`
4. `"unknown"`

Edge builds are unaffected: no env, no file → baked `"edge"` as before.

**`.github/workflows/release-fast-path.yml` — retag step**
Instead of a plain `crane tag :edge → :vX.Y.Z`, the fast path now runs
`crane mutate` on `:edge` with:
- `--append` of a deterministic one-file layer containing
`/app/.image-version` = `vX.Y.Z`
- `--label org.opencontainers.image.version=vX.Y.Z`
- `--tag :vX.Y.Z`

`vX.Y`, `vX` and `latest` are then pointed at the mutated image. Still
no rebuild — the mutation is a manifest + single ~100-byte layer
operation.

## Notes
- The release tags no longer share the exact digest with `:edge` (they
carry one extra layer); the fallback SHA check is unaffected since it
compares the `org.opencontainers.image.revision` label against
`github.sha`.
- The layer tar uses `--owner=0 --group=0 --mtime='UTC 2020-01-01'` for
reproducibility.
- Operators can also fix existing deployments immediately with `-e
CORESCOPE_VERSION=v3.9.2`, no image change needed.

## Testing
- `go build ./cmd/server` + `go vet` clean (golang:1.24)
- Workflow YAML validated
- Reporter context: running the affected v3.9.2 fast-path image in
production (live.saarmesh.de), happy to verify the next tagged release
end-to-end.

Jesper B 8c48f2b49a feat(#1784): wire display consumers to path trust threshold (#1841)
Fixes #1784

## Summary

Step 4 of the #1784 multi-PR project — wires all frontend display
consumers to respect the configured `pathTrust.minHashBytesForMapping`
value.

**Depends on:** #1840 (must be merged first — provides
`MC_meetsPathTrust` / `MC_pathBelowTrust` / `MC_getPathTrustThreshold`
helpers and `PATH_TRUST` global).

## Changes

### `map.js` — trust-gated route display
- `drawPacketRoute` checks `MC_pathBelowTrust` before drawing polylines
- When all path hops are below the configured threshold, shows a "Route
not displayed" message with config guidance instead of speculative
polylines
- Cleans up the trust message control when a new route is drawn

### `analytics.js` — subpath trust filtering
- `renderTable` in `renderSubpaths` filters route patterns whose hops
are below trust threshold
- Combined filter logic: both the 1-byte hide toggle AND trust threshold
are applied together
- Info line shows which filters are active ("1-byte hide + 2-byte
trust", etc.)
- No-data message explains which filters caused exclusion

### `route-view.js` — speculative path annotation
- Path picker groups tagged with `belowTrust` flag when any hop doesn't
meet the configured threshold
- Speculative paths show `(speculative, <N-byte hops)` annotation with
tooltip explaining the trust threshold
- Tooltip includes guidance on changing
`pathTrust.minHashBytesForMapping` in config.json

### `live.js` — Paths Through widget
- `_pathHopsBelowTrust()` helper checks whether all hops in a path are
below trust threshold
- Widget fallback message distinguishes between "1-byte filtered"
(display toggle) and "N-byte trust threshold" (server config)
- Message includes the config key for operators to adjust

### `nodes.js` — confidence weight adjustment
- `modeWeight` initialization considers the trust threshold
- Hash modes below threshold get zero confidence weight
- Bucket-0 (legacy/unknown) excluded at threshold >= 2 per #1784
bucket-0 policy

## Testing

`test-issue-1633-hide-1byte-hops.js`:
- 5 new source-grep guards verifying each consumer references the trust
threshold helpers
- All 26 tests passing (21 existing + 5 new)

## Files changed (6 files, +136/-6)

efitenandClaude Opus 5 4c45dec79f fix(#1902): don't attribute transported scopes from the 1-byte hop prefix (#1903)
Fixes #1902.

## The bug

`byPathHop` is keyed on the raw hop string from `path_json`, and both
relay-info paths look up the full pubkey **and** fold in `key[:2]` — the
1-byte wire prefix. `TransportedScopes` (#1751) accumulated over that
folded set, so every node sharing a pubkey first byte reported the same
scopes.

On the live network all four active nodes with prefix `f7` returned an
identical set:

```
f79616...  BE repeater    ['#be','#be-van','#de','#de-nw','#nl']
f7e718...  BE repeater    ['#be','#be-van','#de','#de-nw','#nl']
f788ad...  BE repeater    ['#be','#be-van','#de','#de-nw','#nl']
f752c2...  DE/NRW repeat. ['#be','#be-van','#de','#de-nw','#nl']
```

Their real sets, from unambiguous full-pubkey hops over the same 7 days,
are disjoint:

```
f79616...  (BE)      #be 471, #eu 9, #nl 6, #de 3, #be-van 1
f752c2...  (DE/NRW)  #de 13, #de-nw 11
f7e718...  (BE)      (none)
```

A sysop reads a scope badge as a statement about how their repeater is
configured, so a Belgian repeater badged `#de-nw` is a wrong answer, not
an imprecise one.

## The change

The prefix fold stays for the counters — that is the documented #662
trade-off, "a possible over-count for clearly false zeros", and
`RelayCount1h/24h`, `LastRelayed` and `UnscopedRelayCount24h` are
magnitudes where an over-count is tolerable.

Scopes are not a magnitude. A 1-byte hop names one of N nodes and cannot
substantiate a categorical claim. Entries reached only through the
prefix bucket are now flagged (`relayEntry.viaPrefix` / a `viaPrefix`
argument to the bulk `visit` closure) and excluded from scope
accumulation only.

Both computation paths are changed together so `/api/nodes` (bulk) and
the node-detail endpoint (per-node) stay in parity:

- `cmd/server/repeater_liveness.go` — `collectRelayEntriesLocked` /
`computeRelayInfoFromEntries`
- `cmd/server/repeater_enrich_bulk.go` — `computeRepeaterRelayInfoMap`

The `public/nodes.js` tooltip is updated to describe what the field now
actually means.

Attribution does not collapse: `observations.resolved_path` carries full
pubkeys for ~27% of observations on the live instance (408k of 1.54M
over 7 days), and those rows produce the correct per-node sets above. A
node with no resolved hop yet shows no badge rather than a borrowed one.

## Tests

`TestTransportedScopes_CrossBucketFold` pinned the old behaviour ("a
scope seen only in the prefix bucket must surface on the full key"),
which is the bug. It is replaced by
`TestTransportedScopes_PrefixBucketNotAttributed`, which asserts on
**both** paths that:

1. a scope evidenced only by a 1-byte hop is not attributed;
2. a scope also present under the full key still is;
3. `RelayCount24h` still counts all three packets — narrowing scopes
must not narrow the counters, i.e. the #662 fold is untouched.

Red before the change, green after.

```

The two frontend failures (`favStar returns filled star for favorite`,
`favStar returns empty star for non-favorite`) and `cmd/ingestor`'s
`TestWriteStatsAtomic_SymlinkAtDestIsReplaced` are **pre-existing** — I
ran them on a pristine `upstream/master` worktree and got byte-identical
results (the ingestor one is a Windows symlink-privilege limitation, not
a code failure).

## Perf

No new work in any loop. The bulk path gains one bool argument to an
existing closure and one `&& !viaPrefix` on a branch that already ran;
the per-node path gains one bool field on `relayEntry`, which is
stack/slice-local and not retained. Same complexity, same allocations.

## What I could not verify end-to-end, and why

I built a fixture from live data (2512 nodes, 17k transmissions, 529k
observations, including all eight `f7` nodes) and ran the before/after
binaries against it. Neither reproduced the live field — both returned
no `transported_scopes` and `relay_count_24h: 0` for every node.

That turns out to be a **separate cold-start bug**: `LoadChunked` calls
`indexResolvedPathHops` per observation while scanning chunks, which
adds full-pubkey keys to `byPathHop`, and then the post-load block at
`cmd/server/chunked_load.go:459` calls `buildPathHopIndex()`, which
begins with `s.byPathHop = make(...)` and rebuilds from raw hops only.
Every resolved full-pubkey key from the scan is discarded:

```
[store] Built path-hop index: 2924 unique keys        <- raw hops only
[store] LoadChunked: 17056 transmissions (527331 observations)
```

So on a freshly started server the full-pubkey buckets are empty and
only refill from live ingestion. That is being filed separately; it is
orthogonal to this change, but it does mean `transported_scopes` will be
sparse for a while after any restart until it is fixed.

This PR is therefore verified by unit tests on both computation paths
plus the live-data derivation above, not by a local end-to-end run.

Joel ClawandJoel Claw f49e3fcc26 perf: use cached ParsedDecoded() instead of repeated json.Unmarshal (#1871)
## Problem

`StoreTx.ParsedDecoded()` already caches the result of `json.Unmarshal`
on first call via `sync.Once`. However, 13 call sites in `store.go` and
1 in `routes.go` were independently unmarshaling `DecodedJSON` into
local `map[string]interface{}` variables on every access, completely
ignoring the cache.

## Impact

For a store with 50k+ transmissions, each analytics endpoint that
iterates all packets re-parses 50k JSON strings per request. With
multiple endpoints, this means hundreds of thousands of redundant
`json.Unmarshal` calls per page load, each allocating new maps and
slices.

## Fix

Replace each `var d map[string]interface{};
json.Unmarshal([]byte(tx.DecodedJSON), &d)` with `d :=
tx.ParsedDecoded()`, which returns the cached parse result (parsed once,
reused forever).

### Call sites changed (14 total):
- `untrackAdvertPubkey` — advert PK extraction during eviction
- Ingestion path — payload field for API responses
- `evictStaleInternal` — node cleanup during eviction
- `GetAnalyticsTopology` — node PK extraction
- `GetAnalyticsHashCollisions` — advert PK extraction
- `GetAnalyticsDistance` — region node PK building
- `resolveAreaNodes` — node PK extraction
- `GetRecentPackets` — payload field for API response
- `routes.go` byType grouping — type field extraction

### Left unchanged (3 sites):
Three call sites that unmarshal into typed structs (`grpDec`,
`decodedMsg`, `decodedGrp`) cannot use `ParsedDecoded()` since they need
specific struct types.

## Testing
- `go build` passes
- No behavior change — same data, same logic, just avoids redundant
parses

Kpa-clawbotandcorescope-bot 59cf5130d1 fix(1838): fold non-transport routes into scope-stats Unscoped (#1842)
Fixes #1838

## Problem

`/api/scope-stats` reported 100% scoped whenever any region was
configured. Reporter noticed on a scopeless instance that "unscoped" was
always zero — the pie visual is misleading to operators deciding on
`denyf *`.

## Root cause

`cmd/server/db.go:22` restricted the entire scope-stats denominator to
`route_type IN (0, 3)`. Per firmware `docs/packet_format.md § Route
Types`:

- `0` = `TRANSPORT_FLOOD`
- `1` = `FLOOD`
- `2` = `DIRECT`
- `3` = `TRANSPORT_DIRECT`

Only routes 0 and 3 carry `transport_code_1` (transport-level scope).
Routes 1 and 2 are inherently unscoped by protocol. The existing SQL was
correct for the "how many transport-scopable routes are actually scoped"
question, but the denominator was silently promoted to "all traffic" in
the UI. Bonus: the comment on `routeTypeTransportSQL` labelled routes
0+3 as "FLOOD (0) and DIRECT (3)" — wrong on both counts.

## Fix

- `cmd/server/db.go` — corrected the `routeTypeTransportSQL` comment;
added `routeTypeNonTransportSQL = "route_type IN (1, 2)"` alongside it.
- `GetScopeStats` runs a second `COUNT(*)` over `route_type IN (1,2) AND
first_seen >= ?` and folds that count into `Summary.Unscoped`. Same
index path as the existing query — one extra scan per `/api/scope-stats`
call (cached 30s per triage's carmack finding).
- `public/analytics.js` — Scopes tab header explains the denominator
(all observed transmissions) and which route types carry scope. Card
notes now render `X% of all traffic` for Scoped/Unscoped and `X% of
scoped` for Unknown Scope so the pie's denominator is explicit.

## TDD

- Red: `5554ffe4` — extended `TestGetScopeStats` +
`TestHandleScopeStats` with `route_type=1` and `route_type=2` rows and
asserted `Unscoped = 3` (1 transport-NULL + 2 non-transport). Ran the
tests and confirmed assertion failure (`Unscoped = 1, want 3`).
- Green: `ebbb9253` — implementation + label copy. Full `go test
./cmd/server/...` passes (54s).

## Preflight overrides

- check-branch-clean: justified — cross-stack fix by design (backend
semantics change + matching frontend label copy). All 4 files are
exactly the surface the triage comment identified.

## Verification

- `go test ./cmd/server/...` — 54s, all pass.
- Firmware confirmation: `firmware/docs/packet_format.md:20-24` (route
type table).

## Files touched

- `cmd/server/db.go` — comment fix + second COUNT query.
- `cmd/server/db_test.go` — extended fixture.
- `cmd/server/routes_test.go` — extended fixture + isolate from seed
data.
- `public/analytics.js` — labels and header copy.

d60188e481 refactor(1828): split handleObserverAnalytics into 5 helpers + byTxID fast-path (#1839)
## Summary

Phase A of #1828: extract the 5 aggregate builders in
`handleObserverAnalytics` into pure helpers in a new
`cmd/server/observer_analytics.go`. Handler becomes a snapshot + filter
+ 5 composed calls.

Also adopts the `byTxID` direct-read in `buildPacketTypes` (issue body's
core observation): the payload-type histogram no longer allocates a full
`enrichObs` map + interface-boxed fields just to read `tx.PayloadType`.
That's the ~90% perf win the triage called out.

Scope is exactly Phase A per the second triage comment. Phase B
(sub-endpoints, caching, SQL migration) is deferred to a follow-up.

## Byte-identical output

- Timeline / NodesTimeline: same key set, same sort, same labels.
- PacketTypes: same keys/counts. Both legacy
(`enriched["payload_type"].(int)`) and new (`tx.PayloadType == nil`
guard) skip obs whose tx is missing or `PayloadType` is `nil`.
- SnrDistribution: same 2-unit floor bucketing (negative-side rounding
preserved), same ascending sort.
- RecentPackets: still the first 20 enriched observations (`enrichObs`
kept only here, where the extra fields are actually needed).

## TDD

- Red commit: `9dc62f43` — 7 unit tests fail on assertions (not build
errors) against stubs.
- Green commit: `8d41011d` — implementations + handler rewire. All new
tests + existing `TestObserverAnalytics*` handler tests pass.

## Preflight

`bash ~/.openclaw/skills/pr-preflight/scripts/run-all.sh origin/master`
→ clean (all 8 hard gates + 3 warnings pass).

## Non-goals

- No new endpoints.
- No SQL migration.
- No public API signature change.
- Snapshot count unchanged (still one under RLock, per #1481 P0-2).

Fixes #1828.

Michael J. ArcanandWaydroid Builder d2ef624c2e feat(api): flood_advert_count_7d on the node detail endpoint (#1831)
Adds, per node, how many distinct FLOOD adverts it originated in the
last 7 days. Zero-hop adverts (route_type DIRECT) are excluded, so a
nearby observer hearing a node's cheap local adverts does not inflate
the number - the existing advert_count mixes both kinds and cannot tell
a chatty flooder (mesh-wide airtime) from
  the recommended 240-minute zero-hop cadence (local only).

Consumers (the ArcScope repeater advisor) rate advert hygiene against
the community practice of one flood advert every ~49h; with the mixed
total, a correctly configured repeater looked chatty whenever an
observer sat within zero-hop range.

Implemented like the relay-liveness fields: a pure, unit-tested counter
over (first_seen, route_type, hash) entries with the same timestamp
parsing and hash dedup, fed by a from_pubkey-indexed query capped at the
2000 most recent advert rows. The flood route-type constant is named
advertRouteTypeFlood so this merges independently
  of the open unscoped-relay PR (#1823).

Michael J. ArcanandWaydroid Builder 56fe844871 test: dedupe the unscoped-relay tests via a shared fixture (#1832)
Follow-up to #1823: TestRepeaterUnscopedRelayCount and its _Bulk twin
were ~30 verbatim lines apart (DB, node insert, store seeding,
assertions), differing only in the lookup under test - seeding changes
had to land twice. Both now use a shared seedUnscopedRelayFixture +
assertUnscopedCounts and contain only their
respective lookup call. No behaviour change; the relay-liveness suite
passes.

Michael J. ArcanandWaydroid Builder bd0a58e14c feat(api): add unscoped_relay_count_24h per-node field (#1823)
## What
Adds a per-node API field `unscoped_relay_count_24h` on repeater/room
nodes: the
  number of the node's 24h relay-hops that were unscoped floods
  (route_type == ROUTE_TYPE_FLOOD). A strict subset of relay_count_24h.

  ## Why
A well-configured repeater runs `flood.max.unscoped 0` and should not
rebroadcast
unscoped floods — each one is re-sent by every repeater that hears it,
so one
packet turns into mesh-wide traffic. Exposing this lets clients (the
ArcScope
repeater advisor) detect and flag that base-config problem from observed
packets.

  ## How
Computed like relay_count_24h in both paths (bulk /api/nodes + per-node
detail)
with a route_type==FLOOD filter; reuses the byPathHop index, no
migration. Wired
  into both handlers + OpenAPI schema + unit tests (per-node and bulk).

096e16409c fix(#1741): wrap test-DB insert loops in a single transaction (#1819)
## Fixes #1741

`TestBoundedLoad_OldestLoadedSet` (and any test building a 5000-row
fixture) hung/timed out, blocking reliable `go test ./cmd/server` and
CI.

  ## Root cause

The four test-DB builders in `cmd/server/bounded_load_test.go`
(`createTestDBAt`, `createTestDBWithObs`, `createTestDBWithAgedPackets`)
inserted rows in a loop with no `BEGIN`/`COMMIT`. With the pure-Go
`modernc.org/sqlite` driver every `Exec` auto-commits → one fsync per
row → ~2N fsyncs for N transmissions (tx + obs). At
`numTx=5000` that's ~10k fsyncs and the fixture blows past the test
timeout. Sibling tests with `numTx<=3000` happened to stay under the
timeout, so only the 5000-row cases visibly hung.

  ## Fix

Wrap each insert loop in a single `BEGIN`/`COMMIT` so the whole fixture
build becomes one commit. Fixtures now finish in well under a second
regardless of `numTx`; the tests' actual assertions (`oldestLoaded` set,
newest-first ordering, bounded load) are exercised instead of the
timeout masking them. Also made the
prepared-statement `Exec` calls check their error (previously discarded)
so a failed insert surfaces instead of silently leaving the DB short.

  No production code changed — test infrastructure only.

  ## Verified

- `TestBoundedLoad_OldestLoadedSet`: **0.18s** (was: 30s timeout /
FAIL).
  - Full `TestBoundedLoad*` + retention group: passes in ~1.2s.
- `go test ./...` in `cmd/server`: exit 0 (no longer blocks on this
test).

6a32ec2b2d fix(#1729): preserve firmware-default Public channel (0x11) in analytics (#1817)
## Fixes #1729

The firmware-default **Public** channel (channel-hash byte `0x11` = 17)
was rendered as an opaque **"Encrypted (0x11)"** row at the bottom of
the analytics Channels tab, despite the key being well-known and
builtin.

  ## Root cause

`computeAnalyticsChannels` applied the #978 rainbow-table validation
(`SHA256(SHA256("#name")[:16])[0]`, the **hashtag** hash scheme) to
every decoded channel name. The Public channel is a **PSK** channel
whose hash byte is key-derived (`SHA256(key)[0]` = 17), not
hashtag-derived (`186` for `#Public`). So the ingestor-decoded name
`"Public"` failed the hashtag check and was discarded, the row forced to
`encrypted=true, name="ch17"`.

  ## Fix

Trust the ingestor's `decryptionStatus`. The ingestor already persists
`decryptionStatus:"decrypted"` when it decoded a packet with a real key
(PSK), and `"no_key"` / `"decryption_failed"` otherwise. When the packet
is `decrypted`, skip the hashtag hash check and keep the name — it came
from a key-based decryption, not a
rainbow-table lookup. The #978 mismatch rejection still applies to
non-decrypted packets, so rainbow-table collisions are still caught.

Frontend needs no change: `encrypted=false, name="Public"` lands in the
"Network" group (top), not "Encrypted".

  ## Tests

- `makeGrpTx` gains `makeGrpTxWithStatus` companion to set
`decryptionStatus`.
- `TestComputeAnalyticsChannels_PublicChannelPreserved`: hash 17 /
"Public" / `decrypted` → name stays `"Public"`, `encrypted=false`.
- `TestComputeAnalyticsChannels_UndecryptedNameStillValidated`: a
non-`decrypted` name failing the hashtag check is still downgraded to
`ch17` (#978 regression guard).

  All channel-analytics tests pass; `go build ./...` clean.
