For BYOP mode in the packet analyzer, perform signature validation on
advert packets and display whether successful or not. This is added as
we observed many corrupted advert packets that would be easily
detectable as such if signature validation checks were performed.
At present this MR is just to add this status in BYOP mode so there is
minimal impact to the application and no performance penalty for having
to perform these checks on all packets. Moving forward it probably makes
sense to do these checks on all advert packets so that corrupt packets
can be ignored in several contexts (like node lists for example).
Let me know what you think and I can adjust as needed.

## Summary
TRACE packets on the live map previously animated the **full intended
route** regardless of how far the trace actually reached. This made it
impossible to distinguish a completed route from a failed one —
undermining the primary diagnostic purpose of trace packets.
## Changes
### Backend — `cmd/server/decoder.go`
- Added `HopsCompleted *int` field to the `Path` struct
- For TRACE packets, the header path contains SNR bytes (one per hop
that actually forwarded). Before overwriting `path.Hops` with the full
intended route from the payload, we now capture the header path's
`HashCount` as `hopsCompleted`
- This field is included in API responses and WebSocket broadcasts via
the existing JSON serialization
### Frontend — `public/live.js`
- For TRACE packets with `hopsCompleted < totalHops`:
- Animate only the **completed** portion (solid line + pulse)
- Draw the **unreached** remainder as a dashed/ghosted line (25%
opacity, `6,8` dash pattern) with ghost markers
- Dashed lines and ghost markers auto-remove after 10 seconds
- When `hopsCompleted` is absent or equals total hops, behavior is
unchanged
### Tests — `cmd/server/decoder_test.go`
- `TestDecodePacket_TraceHopsCompleted` — partial completion (2 of 4
hops)
- `TestDecodePacket_TraceNoSNR` — zero completion (trace not forwarded
yet)
- `TestDecodePacket_TraceFullyCompleted` — all hops completed
## How it works
The MeshCore firmware appends an SNR byte to `pkt->path[]` at each hop
that forwards a TRACE packet. The count of these SNR bytes (`path_len`)
indicates how far the trace actually got. CoreScope's decoder already
parsed the header path, but the TRACE-specific code overwrote it with
the payload hops (full intended route) without preserving the progress
information. Now we save that count first.

## Fix: Zero-hop DIRECT packets report bogus hash_size
Closes#649
### Problem
When a DIRECT packet has zero hops (pathByte lower 6 bits = 0), the
generic `hash_size = (pathByte >> 6) + 1` formula produces a bogus value
(1-4) instead of 0/unknown. This causes incorrect hash size displays and
analytics for zero-hop direct adverts.
### Solution
**Frontend (JS):**
- `packets.js` and `nodes.js` now check `(pathByte & 0x3F) === 0` to
detect zero-hop packets and suppress bogus hash_size display.
**Backend (Go):**
- Both `cmd/server/decoder.go` and `cmd/ingestor/decoder.go` reset
`HashSize=0` for DIRECT packets where `pathByte & 0x3F == 0` (hash_count
is zero).
- TRACE packets are excluded since they use hashSize to parse hop data
from the payload.
- The condition uses `pathByte & 0x3F == 0` (not `pathByte == 0x00`) to
correctly handle the case where hash_size bits are non-zero but
hash_count is zero — matching the JS frontend approach.
### Testing
**Backend:**
- Added 4 tests each in `cmd/server/decoder_test.go` and
`cmd/ingestor/decoder_test.go`:
- DIRECT + pathByte 0x00 → HashSize=0 ✅
- DIRECT + pathByte 0x40 (hash_size bits set, hash_count=0) → HashSize=0
✅
- Non-DIRECT + pathByte 0x00 → HashSize=1 (unchanged) ✅
- DIRECT + pathByte 0x01 (1 hop) → HashSize=1 (unchanged) ✅
- All existing tests pass (`go test ./...` in both cmd/server and
cmd/ingestor)
**Frontend:**
- Verified hash size display is suppressed for zero-hop direct adverts

## Summary
- `BuildBreakdown` was never ported from the deleted Node.js
`decoder.js` to Go — the server has returned `breakdown: {}` since the
Go migration (commit `742ed865`), so `createColoredHexDump()` and
`buildHexLegend()` in the frontend always received an empty `ranges`
array and rendered everything as monochrome
- Implemented `BuildBreakdown()` in `decoder.go` — computes labeled byte
ranges matching the frontend's `LABEL_CLASS` map: `Header`, `Transport
Codes`, `Path Length`, `Path`, `Payload`; ADVERT packets get sub-ranges:
`PubKey`, `Timestamp`, `Signature`, `Flags`, `Latitude`, `Longitude`,
`Name`
- Wired into `handlePacketDetail` (was `struct{}{}`)
- Also adds per-section color classes to the field breakdown table
(`section-header`, `section-transport`, `section-path`,
`section-payload`) so the table rows get matching background tints
## Test plan
- [x] Open any packet detail pane — hex dump should show color-coded
sections (red header, orange path length, blue transport codes, green
path hops, yellow/colored payload)
- [x] Legend below action buttons should appear with color swatches
- [x] ADVERT packets: PubKey/Timestamp/Signature/Flags each get their
own distinct color
- [x] Field breakdown table section header rows should be tinted per
section
- [x] 8 new Go tests: all pass

## Summary
Surfaces transport route types in the packets view by adding a **"T"
badge** next to the payload type badge for packets with
`TRANSPORT_FLOOD` (route type 0) or `TRANSPORT_DIRECT` (route type 3)
routes.
This helps mesh analysis — communities can quickly identify transported
packets and gain insights into scope usage adoption.
Closes#241
## What Changed
### Frontend (`public/`)
- **app.js**: Added `isTransportRoute(rt)` and `transportBadge(rt)`
helper functions that render a `<span class="badge
badge-transport">T</span>` badge with the full route type name as a
tooltip
- **packets.js**: Applied `transportBadge()` in all three packet row
render paths:
- Flat (ungrouped) packet rows
- Grouped packet header rows
- Grouped packet child rows
- **style.css**: Added `.badge-transport` class with amber styling and
CSS variable support (`--transport-badge-bg`, `--transport-badge-fg`)
for theme customization
### Backend (`cmd/server/`)
- **decoder_test.go**: Added 6 new tests covering:
- `TestDecodeHeader_TransportFlood` — verifies route type 0 decodes as
TRANSPORT_FLOOD
- `TestDecodeHeader_TransportDirect` — verifies route type 3 decodes as
TRANSPORT_DIRECT
- `TestDecodeHeader_Flood` — verifies route type 1 (non-transport)
decodes correctly
- `TestIsTransportRoute` — verifies the helper identifies transport vs
non-transport routes
- `TestDecodePacket_TransportFloodHasCodes` — verifies transport codes
are extracted from T_FLOOD packets
- `TestDecodePacket_FloodHasNoCodes` — verifies FLOOD packets have no
transport codes
## Visual
In the packets table Type column, transport packets now show:
```
[Channel Msg] [T] ← transport packet
[Channel Msg] ← normal flood packet
```
The "T" badge has an amber color scheme and shows the full route type
name on hover.
## Tests
- All Go tests pass (`cmd/server` and `cmd/ingestor`)
- All frontend tests pass (`test-packet-filter.js`, `test-aging.js`,
`test-frontend-helpers.js`)
- Cache busters bumped in `index.html`
