ci: update test badges [skip ci]

Schema v3 migration:
- Replace observer_id TEXT (64-char hex) with observer_idx INTEGER FK
- Drop redundant hash, observer_name, created_at columns
- Store timestamp as epoch integer instead of ISO string
- In-memory dedup Set replaces expensive unique index lookups
- Auto-migration on startup with timestamped backup (never overwrites)
- Detects already-migrated DBs via pragma user_version + column inspection

Fixes:
- disambiguateHops: restore 'known' field dropped during refactor (5dd0727)
- Skip MQTT connections when NODE_ENV=test
- e2e test: encodeURIComponent for # channel hashes in URLs
- VACUUM + TRUNCATE checkpoint after migration (not just VACUUM)
- Daily TRUNCATE checkpoint at 2:00 AM UTC to reclaim WAL space

Observability:
- SQLite stats in /api/perf (DB size, WAL size, freelist, row counts, busy pages)
- Rendered in perf dashboard with color-coded thresholds

Tests: 839 pass (89 db + 30 migration + 70 helpers + 200 routes + 34 packet-store + 52 decoder + 255 decoder-spec + 62 filter + 47 e2e)

+# AGENTS.md — MeshCore Analyzer
+
+Guide for AI agents working on this codebase. Read this before writing any code.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Single Node.js server + static frontend. No build step. No framework. No bundler.
+
+```
+server.js          — Express API + MQTT ingestion + WebSocket broadcast
+decoder.js         — MeshCore packet parser (header, path, payload, adverts)
+packet-store.js    — In-memory packet store + query engine (backed by SQLite)
+db.js              — SQLite schema + prepared statements
+public/            — Frontend (vanilla JS, one file per page)
+  app.js           — SPA router, shared globals, theme loading
+  roles.js         — ROLE_COLORS, TYPE_COLORS, health thresholds, shared helpers
+  nodes.js         — Nodes list + side pane + full detail page
+  map.js           — Leaflet map with markers, legend, filters
+  packets.js       — Packets table + detail pane + hex breakdown
+  packet-filter.js — Wireshark-style filter engine (standalone, testable)
+  customize.js     — Theme customizer panel (self-contained IIFE)
+  analytics.js     — Analytics tabs (RF, topology, hash issues, etc.)
+  channels.js      — Channel message viewer
+  live.js          — Live packet feed + VCR mode
+  home.js          — Home/onboarding page
+  hop-resolver.js  — Client-side hop prefix → node name resolution
+  style.css        — Main styles, CSS variables for theming
+  live.css         — Live page styles
+  home.css         — Home page styles
+  index.html       — SPA shell, script/style tags with cache busters
+```
+
+### Data Flow
+1. MQTT brokers → server.js ingests packets → decoder.js parses → packet-store.js stores in memory + SQLite
+2. WebSocket broadcasts new packets to connected browsers
+3. Frontend fetches via REST API, filters/sorts client-side
+
+## Rules — Read These First
+
+### 1. No commit without tests
+Every change that touches logic MUST have unit tests. Run `node test-packet-filter.js && node test-aging.js` before pushing. If you add new logic, add tests to the appropriate test file or create a new one. No exceptions.
+
+### 2. No commit without browser validation
+After pushing, verify the change works in an actual browser. Use `browser profile=openclaw` against the running instance. Take a screenshot if the change is visual. If you can't validate it, say so — don't claim it works.
+
+### 3. Cache busters — ALWAYS bump them
+Every time you change a `.js` or `.css` file in `public/`, bump the cache buster in `index.html`. This has caused 7 separate production regressions. Use:
+```bash
+NEWV=$(date +%s) && sed -i "s/v=[0-9]*/v=$NEWV/g" public/index.html
+```
+Do this in the SAME commit as the code change, not as a follow-up.
+
+### 4. Verify API response shape before building UI
+Before writing client code that consumes an API endpoint, check what the endpoint ACTUALLY returns. Use `curl` or check the server code. Don't assume fields exist — grouped packets (`groupByHash=true`) have different fields than raw packets. This has caused multiple breakages.
+
+### 5. Plan before implementing
+Present a plan with milestones to the human. Wait for sign-off before starting. The plan must include:
+- What changes in each milestone
+- What tests will be written
+- What browser validation will be done
+- What config/customizer implications exist (see rule 8)
+
+Do NOT start coding until the human says "go" or "start" or equivalent.
+
+### 6. One commit per logical change
+Don't push half-finished work. Don't push "let me try this" experiments. Get it right locally, test it, THEN push ONE commit. The QR overlay took 6 commits because each one was pushed without looking at the result. That's 6x the review burden for one visual change.
+
+### 7. Understand before fixing
+When something doesn't work as expected, INVESTIGATE before "fixing." Read the firmware source. Check the actual data. Understand WHY before changing code. The hash_size saga (21 commits) happened because we guessed at behavior instead of reading the MeshCore source.
+
+### 8. Config values belong in the customizer eventually
+If a feature introduces configurable values (thresholds, timeouts, display limits), note in the plan that these should be exposed in the customizer in a later milestone. It's OK to hardcode initially, but don't forget — track it in the plan.
+
+### 9. Explicit git add only
+Never use `git add -A` or `git add .`. Always list files explicitly: `git add file1.js file2.js`. Review with `git diff --cached --stat` before committing.
+
+### 10. Don't regress performance
+The packets page loads 30K+ packets. Don't add per-packet API calls. Don't add O(n²) loops. Client-side filtering is preferred over server-side. If you need data from the server, fetch it once and cache it.
+
+## MeshCore Firmware — Source of Truth
+
+The MeshCore firmware source is cloned at `firmware/` (gitignored — not part of this repo). This is THE authoritative reference for anything related to the protocol, packet format, device behavior, advert structure, flags, hash sizes, route types, or how repeaters/companions/rooms/sensors behave.
+
+**Before implementing any feature that touches protocol behavior:**
+1. Check the firmware source in `firmware/src/` and `firmware/docs/`
+2. Key files: `Mesh.h` (constants, packet structure), `Packet.cpp` (encoding/decoding), `helpers/AdvertDataHelpers.h` (advert flags/types), `helpers/CommonCLI.cpp` (CLI commands), `docs/packet_format.md`, `docs/payloads.md`
+3. If `firmware/` doesn't exist, clone it: `git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore.git firmware`
+4. To update: `cd firmware && git pull`
+
+**Do NOT guess at protocol behavior.** The hash_size saga (21 commits) and the advert flags bug (room servers misclassified as repeaters) both happened because we assumed instead of reading the firmware source. The firmware is C++ — read it.
+
+## MeshCore Protocol
+
+**Do not memorize or hardcode protocol details from this file.** Read the firmware source.
+
+- Packet format: `firmware/docs/packet_format.md`
+- Payload types & structures: `firmware/docs/payloads.md`
+- Advert flags & types: `firmware/src/helpers/AdvertDataHelpers.h`
+- Route types & constants: `firmware/src/Mesh.h`
+- CLI commands & behavior: `firmware/docs/cli_commands.md`
+- FAQ (advert intervals, etc.): `firmware/docs/faq.md`
+
+If you need to know how something works — a flag, a field, a timing, a behavior — **open the file and read it.** Don't rely on comments in our code, don't rely on what someone told you, don't guess. The firmware C++ source is the only thing that matters.
+
+## Frontend Conventions
+
+### Theming
+All colors MUST use CSS variables. Never hardcode `#hex` values outside of `:root` definitions. The customizer controls colors via `THEME_CSS_MAP` in customize.js. If you add a new color, add it as a CSS variable and map it in the customizer.
+
+### Shared Helpers (roles.js)
+- `getNodeStatus(role, lastSeenMs)` → 'active' | 'stale'
+- `getHealthThresholds(role)` → `{ staleMs, degradedMs, silentMs }`
+- `ROLE_COLORS`, `ROLE_STYLE`, `TYPE_COLORS` — global color maps
+
+### Shared Helpers (nodes.js)
+- `getStatusInfo(n)` → `{ status, statusLabel, explanation, roleColor, ... }`
+- `renderNodeBadges(n, roleColor)` → HTML string
+- `renderStatusExplanation(n)` → HTML string
+
+### last_heard vs last_seen
+- `last_seen` = DB timestamp, only updates on adverts/direct upserts
+- `last_heard` = from in-memory packet store, updates on ALL traffic
+- Always prefer `n.last_heard || n.last_seen` for display and status calculation
+
+### Packet Filter (packet-filter.js)
+Standalone module. No dependencies on app globals (copies what it needs). Testable in Node.js:
+```bash
+node test-packet-filter.js
+```
+Uses firmware-standard type names (GRP_TXT, TXT_MSG, REQ) with aliases for convenience.
+
+## Testing
+
+### Test Pipeline
+```bash
+npm test                    # all backend tests + coverage summary
+npm run test:unit           # fast: unit tests only (no server needed)
+npm run test:coverage       # all tests + HTML coverage report
+npm run test:full-coverage  # backend + instrumented frontend coverage via Playwright
+```
+
+### Test Files
+```bash
+# Backend (deterministic, run before every push)
+node test-packet-filter.js        # filter engine
+node test-aging.js                # node aging system
+node test-regional-filter.js      # regional observer filtering
+node test-decoder.js              # packet decoder
+node test-decoder-spec.js         # spec-driven + golden fixture tests
+node test-server-helpers.js       # extracted server functions
+node test-server-routes.js        # API route tests via supertest
+node test-packet-store.js         # in-memory packet store
+node test-db.js                   # SQLite operations
+node test-frontend-helpers.js     # frontend logic (via vm.createContext)
+node tools/e2e-test.js            # E2E: temp server + synthetic packets
+node tools/frontend-test.js       # frontend smoke: HTML, JS refs, API shapes
+
+# Frontend E2E (requires running server or Playwright)
+node test-e2e-playwright.js       # 8 Playwright browser tests (default: localhost:3000)
+```
+
+### Rules
+**ALL existing tests must pass before pushing.** No exceptions. No "known failures."
+
+**Every new feature must add tests.** Unit tests for logic, Playwright tests for UI changes. Test count only goes up.
+
+**Coverage targets:** Backend 85%+, Frontend 42%+ (both should only go up). CI reports both and updates badges automatically.
+
+### When writing a new feature
+1. Write the feature code
+2. Write unit tests for the logic
+3. Write/update Playwright tests if it's a UI change
+4. Run `npm test` — all tests must pass
+5. Run `node test-e2e-playwright.js` against a local server — E2E must pass
+6. THEN push to master
+
+### Testing infrastructure
+- **Backend coverage**: c8 tracks server-side code in-process
+- **Frontend coverage**: Istanbul instruments `public/*.js` → Playwright exercises them → `window.__coverage__` extracted → nyc reports. Instrumented files are generated fresh each CI run, never checked in.
+- **CI pipeline**: backend tests + coverage → instrument frontend → start local server → Playwright E2E + coverage collection → badges update → deploy (only if all pass)
+- **Playwright tests default to localhost:3000** — NEVER run against prod. CI sets `BASE_URL=http://localhost:13581`. Running locally: start your server, then `node test-e2e-playwright.js`
+- **ARM machines**: Basic Playwright tests work with system chromium (`CHROMIUM_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium-browser`). Heavy coverage collection scripts may crash — use CI for those.
+
+Tests that need live mesh data can use `https://analyzer.00id.net` — all API endpoints are public, no auth required.
+
+### What Needs Tests
+- Parsers and decoders (packet-filter, decoder)
+- Threshold/status calculations (aging, health)
+- Data transformations (hash size computation, field resolvers)
+- Anything with edge cases (null handling, boundary values)
+- UI interactions that exercise frontend code branches
+
+## Engineering Principles
+
+These aren't optional. Every change must follow these principles.
+
+### DRY — Don't Repeat Yourself
+If the same logic exists in two places, it MUST be extracted into a shared function. We had **5 separate implementations** of hash prefix disambiguation across the codebase — that's a maintenance nightmare and a bug factory. One implementation, imported everywhere.
+
+**Before writing new code, search the codebase for existing implementations.** `grep -rn 'functionName\|pattern' public/ server.js` takes 2 seconds and prevents duplication.
+
+### SOLID Principles
+- **Single Responsibility**: Each function does ONE thing. A 200-line function that fetches, transforms, renders, and caches is wrong. Split it.
+- **Open/Closed**: Add behavior by extending, not modifying. Use callbacks, options objects, or configuration — not `if (caller === 'live')` branches inside shared code.
+- **Dependency Injection**: Functions should accept their dependencies as parameters, not reach into globals. `resolveHops(hops, nodeList)` — not `resolveHops(hops)` where it secretly reads `window.allNodes`. This makes functions testable in isolation.
+- **Interface Segregation**: Don't force callers to depend on things they don't need. If a function returns 20 fields but the caller uses 3, consider a simpler return shape or let the caller pick.
+
+### Code Reuse
+- **Shared helpers go in shared files.** Frontend: `roles.js`, `hop-resolver.js`. Backend: `server-helpers.js`, `decoder.js`.
+- **Don't copy-paste between files.** If `live.js` needs the same algorithm as `packets.js`, import it from a shared module. If the shared module doesn't exist yet, create one.
+- **Parameterize, don't duplicate.** If two callers need slightly different behavior, add a parameter — don't fork the function.
+
+### Testability
+- **Write functions that are easy to test.** Pure functions (input → output, no side effects) are ideal. If a function reads from the DOM, the DB, and localStorage, it's untestable without mocking everything.
+- **Dependency injection enables testing.** Pass the node list, the map reference, the API function as parameters. Tests can substitute fakes.
+- **Test the real code, not copies.** Don't paste a function into a test file and test the copy. Import/require the actual module. If the module isn't importable (IIFE, browser-only), refactor it so it is — or use `vm.createContext` like `test-frontend-helpers.js` does.
+- **Every bug fix gets a regression test.** If it broke once, it'll break again. The test proves it stays fixed.
+
+### Type Safety (without TypeScript)
+- **Cast at the boundary.** Data from the DB, API, or localStorage may be strings when you expect numbers. Cast early: `Number(val)`, `parseInt(val)`, `String(val)`. Don't let type mismatches propagate deep into logic where they cause cryptic `.toFixed is not a function` errors.
+- **Null-check before method calls.** `val != null ? Number(val).toFixed(1) : '—'` — not `val.toFixed(1)`.
+
+### Performance Awareness
+- **No per-item API calls.** Fetch bulk data once, filter/transform client-side.
+- **No O(n²) in hot paths.** The packets page has 30K+ rows. A nested loop over all packets × all nodes = 20 billion operations. Use Maps/Sets for lookups.
+- **Cache expensive computations.** If you compute the same thing on every render, cache it and invalidate on data change.
+
+## XP (Extreme Programming) Practices
+
+### Test-First Development
+Write the test BEFORE the code. Not after. Not "I'll add tests later." The test defines the expected behavior, then you write the minimum code to make it pass.
+
+**Flow:** Red (write failing test) → Green (make it pass) → Refactor (clean up).
+
+This prevents shipping bugs like `.toFixed on a string` — if the test existed first with string inputs, the bug could never have been introduced. Every bug fix starts by writing a test that reproduces the bug, THEN fixing it.
+
+### YAGNI — You Aren't Gonna Need It
+Don't build for hypothetical future requirements. Build the simplest thing that solves the current problem. The 5 separate disambiguation implementations happened because each page rolled its own "just in case" version instead of importing the one that already existed.
+
+If you're writing code that handles a case nobody asked for: stop. Delete it. Add it when there's a real need.
+
+### Refactor Mercilessly
+When you touch a file and see duplication, dead code, unclear names, or structural mess — clean it up in the same commit. Don't leave it for "later." Later never comes. Tech debt compounds.
+
+**The Boy Scout Rule:** Leave every file cleaner than you found it.
+
+### Simple Design
+The simplest solution that works is the correct one. Complexity is a bug. Before building something, ask:
+1. Does this already exist somewhere in the codebase?
+2. Can I solve this with an existing function + a parameter?
+3. Am I over-engineering for a case that doesn't exist yet?
+
+If the answer to any of these is yes, simplify.
+
+### Pair Programming (Human + AI Model)
+For this project, pair programming means: **subagent writes the code → parent agent reviews and tests locally → THEN pushes to master.** The subagent is the "driver," the parent is the "navigator."
+
+**What this means in practice:**
+- Subagent output is NEVER pushed directly without review
+- Parent agent runs the tests, checks the diff, verifies the behavior
+- If the subagent's work is wrong, parent fixes it before pushing — not after
+- "The subagent said it works" is not verification. Running the tests is.
+
+### Continuous Integration as a Gate
+CI must pass before code is considered shipped. But CI is the LAST line of defense, not the first. The process is:
+1. Test locally (unit + E2E)
+2. Review the diff
+3. Push
+4. CI confirms
+
+If CI catches something you missed locally, that's a process failure — figure out why your local testing didn't catch it and fix the gap.
+
+### 10-Minute Build
+Everything must be testable locally in under 10 minutes. If local tests are broken, flaky, or crashing — that's a P0 blocker. Fix the test infrastructure before shipping features. Broken tests = no tests = shipping blind.
+
+### Collective Code Ownership
+No file is "someone else's problem." Every file follows the same patterns, uses the same shared modules, meets the same quality bar. `live.js` doesn't get to be a special snowflake with its own reimplementation of everything. If it drifts from the shared patterns, bring it back in line.
+
+### Small Releases
+One logical change per commit. Each commit is deployable. Each commit has its tests. Don't bundle "fix A + feature B + cleanup C" into one push — if B breaks, you can't revert without losing A and C.
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+| Pitfall | Times it happened | Prevention |
+|---------|-------------------|------------|
+| Forgot cache busters | 7 | Always bump in same commit |
+| Grouped packets missing fields | 3 | curl the actual API first |
+| last_seen vs last_heard mismatch | 4 | Always use `last_heard \|\| last_seen` |
+| CSS selectors don't match SVG | 2 | Manipulate SVG in JS after generation |
+| Feature built on wrong assumption | 5+ | Read source/data before coding |
+| Pushed without testing | 5+ | Run tests + browser check every time |
+| Tests defaulting to prod | 2 | Always default to localhost, never prod |
+| Gave up testing locally | 2 | Basic tests work on ARM — only heavy coverage scripts crash |
+| Copy-pasted functions for "coverage" | 1 | Test the real code, not copies in a helper file |
+| Subagent timed out mid-work | 4 | Give clear scope, don't try to run slow pipelines locally |
+
+## File Naming
+- Tests: `test-{feature}.js` in repo root
+- No build step, no transpilation — write ES2020 for server, ES5/6 for frontend (broad browser support)
+
+## What NOT to Do
+- **Don't check in private information** — no names, API keys, tokens, passwords, IP addresses, personal data, or any identifying information. This is a PUBLIC repo.
+- Don't add npm dependencies without asking
+- Don't create a build step
+- Don't add framework abstractions (React, Vue, etc.)
+- Don't hardcode colors — use CSS variables
+- Don't make per-packet server API calls from the frontend
+- Don't push without running tests
+- Don't start implementing without plan approval

+# Mesh Audio — Sonification Plan
+
+*Turn raw packet bytes into generative music.*
+
+## What Every Packet Has (guaranteed)
+- `raw_hex` — melody source
+- `hop_count` — note duration + filter cutoff
+- `observation_count` — volume + chord voicing
+- `payload_type` — instrument + scale + root key
+- `node_lat/lon` — stereo pan
+- `timestamp` — arrival timing
+
+## Final Mapping
+
+| Data | Musical Role |
+|------|-------------|
+| **payload_type** | Instrument + scale + root key |
+| **payload bytes** (evenly sampled, sqrt(len) count) | Melody notes (pitch) |
+| **byte value** | Note length (higher = longer sustain, lower = staccato) |
+| **byte-to-byte delta** | Note spacing (big jump = longer gap, small = rapid) |
+| **hop_count** | Low-pass filter cutoff (more hops = more muffled) |
+| **observation_count** | Volume + chord voicing (more observers = louder + stacked detuned voices) |
+| **node longitude** | Stereo pan (west = left, east = right) |
+| **BPM tempo** (user control) | Master time multiplier on all durations |
+
+## Instruments & Scales by Type
+
+| Type | Instrument | Scale | Root |
+|------|-----------|-------|------|
+| ADVERT | Bell / pad | C major pentatonic | C |
+| GRP_TXT | Marimba / pluck | A minor pentatonic | A |
+| TXT_MSG | Piano | E natural minor | E |
+| TRACE | Ethereal synth | D whole tone | D |
+
+## How a Packet Plays
+
+1. **Header configures the voice** — payload type selects instrument, scale, root key. Flags/transport codes select envelope shape. Header bytes are NOT played as notes.
+2. **Sample payload bytes** — pick `sqrt(payload_length)` bytes, evenly spaced across payload:
+   - 16-byte payload → 4 notes
+   - 36-byte payload → 6 notes
+   - 64-byte payload → 8 notes
+3. **Each sampled byte → a note:**
+   - **Pitch**: byte value (0-255) quantized to selected scale across 2-3 octaves
+   - **Length**: byte value maps to sustain duration (low byte = short staccato ~50ms, high byte = sustained ~400ms)
+   - **Spacing**: delta between current and next sampled byte determines gap to next note (small delta = rapid fire, large delta = pause). Scaled by BPM tempo multiplier.
+4. **Filter**: low-pass cutoff from hop_count — few hops = bright/clear, many hops = muffled (signal traveled far)
+5. **Volume**: observation_count — more observers = louder
+6. **Chord voicing**: if observations > 1, stack slightly detuned voices (±5-15 cents per voice, chorus effect)
+7. **Pan**: origin node longitude mapped to stereo field
+8. **All timings scaled by BPM tempo control**
+
+## UI Controls
+
+- **Audio toggle** — on/off (next to Matrix / Rain)
+- **BPM tempo slider** — master time multiplier (slow = ambient, fast = techno)
+- **Volume slider** — master gain
+- **Mute button** — pause audio without losing toggle state
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Library: Tone.js (~150KB)
+- `Tone.Synth` / `Tone.PolySynth` for melody + chords
+- `Tone.Sampler` for realistic instruments
+- `Tone.Filter` for hop-based cutoff
+- `Tone.Chorus` for observation detuning
+- `Tone.Panner` for geographic stereo
+- `Tone.Reverb` for spatial depth
+
+### Integration
+- `animatePacket(pkt)` also calls `sonifyPacket(pkt)`
+- Optional "Sonify" button on packet detail page
+- Web Audio runs on separate thread — won't block UI/animations
+- Polyphony capped at 8-12 voices to prevent mudding
+- Voice stealing when busy
+
+### Core Function
+```
+sonifyPacket(pkt):
+  1. Extract raw_hex → byte array
+  2. Separate header (first ~3 bytes) from payload
+  3. Header → select instrument, scale, root key, envelope
+  4. Sample sqrt(payload.length) bytes evenly across payload
+  5. For each sampled byte:
+     - pitch = quantize(byte, scale, rootKey)
+     - duration = map(byte, 50ms, 400ms) × tempoMultiplier
+     - gap to next = map(abs(nextByte - byte), 30ms, 300ms) × tempoMultiplier
+  6. Set filter cutoff from hop_count
+  7. Set gain from observation_count
+  8. Set pan from origin longitude
+  9. If observation_count > 1: detune +/- cents per voice
+  10. Schedule note sequence via Tone.js
+```
+
+## Percussion Layer
+
+Percussion fires **instantly** on packet arrival — gives you the rhythmic pulse while the melodic notes unfold underneath.
+
+### Drum Kit Mapping
+
+| Packet Type | Drum Sound | Why |
+|-------------|-----------|-----|
+| **Any packet** | Kick drum | Network heartbeat. Every arrival = one kick. Busier network = faster kicks. |
+| **ADVERT** | Hi-hat | Most frequent, repetitive — the timekeeper tick. |
+| **GRP_TXT / TXT_MSG** | Snare | Human-initiated messages are accent hits. |
+| **TRACE** | Rim click | Sparse, searching — light metallic tick. |
+| **8+ hops OR 10+ observations** | Cymbal crash | Big network events get a crash. Rare = special. |
+
+### Sound Design (all synthesized, no samples)
+
+**Kick:** Sine oscillator, frequency ramp 150Hz → 40Hz in ~50ms, short gain envelope.
+
+**Hi-hat:** White noise through highpass filter (7-10kHz).
+- **Closed** (1-2 hops): 30ms decay — tight tick
+- **Open** (3+ hops): 150ms decay — sizzle
+
+**Snare:** White noise burst (bandpass ~200-1000Hz) + sine tone body (~180Hz). Observation count scales intensity (more observers = louder crack, longer decay).
+
+**Rim click:** Short sine pulse at ~800Hz with fast decay (20ms). Dry, metallic.
+
+**Cymbal crash:** White noise through bandpass (3-8kHz), long decay (500ms-1s). Only triggers on exceptional packets.
+
+### Byte-Driven Variation
+First payload byte mod 4 selects between variations of each percussion sound:
+- Slightly different pitch (±10-20%)
+- Different decay length
+- Different filter frequency
+
+Prevents machine-gun effect of identical repeated hits.
+
+### Timing
+- Percussion: fires immediately on packet arrival (t=0)
+- Melody: unfolds over 0.6-1.6s starting at t=0
+- Result: rhythmic hit gives you the pulse, melody gives you the data underneath
+
+## The Full Experience
+
+Matrix mode + Rain + Audio: green hex bytes flow across the map, columns of raw data rain down, and each packet plays its own unique melody derived from its actual bytes. Quiet periods are sparse atmospheric ambience; traffic bursts become dense polyrhythmic cascades. Crank the BPM for techno, slow it down for ambient.
+
+## Future Ideas
+
+- "Record" button → export MIDI or WAV
+- Per-type mute toggles (silence ADVERTs, only hear messages)
+- "DJ mode" — crossfade between regions
+- Historical playback at accelerated speed = mesh network symphony
+- Presets (ambient, techno, classical, minimal)
+- ADVERT ambient drone layer (single modulated oscillator, not per-packet)

+
+## Problem
+
+Live packets arrive randomly and animate too fast to understand what's happening musically. You hear sound, but can't connect it to what the data is doing — which bytes become which notes, why this packet sounds different from that one.
+
+## Milestone 1: Packet Jukebox
+
+A standalone page (`#/audio-lab`) that lets you trigger packets manually and understand the data→sound mapping.
+
+### Packet Buckets
+
+Pre-load representative packets from the database, bucketed by type:
+
+| Type ID | Name | Typical Size | Notes |
+|---------|------|-------------|-------|
+| 0x04 | ADVERT | 109-177 bytes | Node advertisements, most musical (long payload) |
+| 0x05 | GRP_TXT | 18-173 bytes | Group messages, wide size range |
+| 0x01 | TXT_MSG | 22-118 bytes | Direct messages |
+| 0x02 | ACK/REQ | 22-57 bytes | Short acknowledgments |
+| 0x09 | TRACE | 11-13 bytes | Very short, sparse |
+| 0x00 | RAW | 22-33 bytes | Raw packets |
+
+For each type, pull 5-10 representative packets spanning the size range (smallest, median, largest) and observation count range (1 obs, 10+ obs, 50+ obs).
+
+### API
+
+New endpoint: `GET /api/audio-lab/buckets`
+
+Returns pre-selected packets grouped by type with decoded data and raw_hex. Server picks representatives so the client doesn't need to sift through hundreds.
+

+
+### Key Features
+
+1. **Play button** — triggers `sonifyPacket()` with the selected packet
+2. **Loop** — retrigger every N seconds (configurable)
+3. **Slow mode** — 0.25x / 0.5x / 1x / 2x tempo override (separate from BPM, multiplies it)
+4. **Note sequence breakdown** — shows every sampled byte, its MIDI note, frequency, duration, gap to next. Highlights each note in real-time as it plays.
+5. **Byte visualizer** — hex dump of payload with sampled bytes highlighted. Shows which bytes the voice module chose and what they became.
+6. **Sound mapping panel** — shows computed parameters (instrument, scale, filter, pan, volume, voice count) so you can see exactly why it sounds the way it does.
+
+### Playback Highlighting
+
+As each note plays, highlight:
+- The corresponding byte in the hex dump
+- The note row in the sequence table
+- A playhead marker on the byte visualizer bar
+
+This connects the visual and auditory — you SEE which byte is playing RIGHT NOW.
+
+---
+
+## Milestone 2: Parameter Overrides
+
+Once you can hear individual packets clearly, add override sliders to shape the sound:
+
+### Envelope & Tone
+- **Oscillator type** — sine / triangle / square / sawtooth
+- **ADSR sliders** — attack, decay, sustain, release (with real-time envelope visualizer curve)
+- **Scale override** — force any scale regardless of packet type (C maj pent, A min pent, E nat minor, D whole tone, chromatic, etc.)
+- **Root note** — base MIDI note for the scale
+
+### Spatial & Filter
+- **Filter type** — lowpass / highpass / bandpass
+- **Filter cutoff** — manual override of hop-based cutoff (Hz slider + "data-driven" toggle)
+- **Filter Q/resonance** — 0.1 to 20
+- **Pan lock** — force stereo position (-1 to +1)
+
+### Voicing & Dynamics
+- **Voice count** — force 1-8 voices regardless of observation count
+- **Detune spread** — cents per voice (0-50)
+- **Volume** — manual override of observation-based volume
+- **Limiter threshold** — per-packet compressor threshold (dB)
+- **Limiter ratio** — 1:1 to 20:1
+
+### Note Timing
+- **Note duration range** — min/max duration mapped from byte value
+- **Note gap range** — min/max gap mapped from byte delta
+- **Lookahead** — scheduling buffer (ms)
+
+Each override has a "lock 🔒" toggle — locked = your value, unlocked = data-driven. Unlocked shows the computed value in real-time so you can see what the data would produce.
+
+The voice module's `play()` accepts an `overrides` object from the workbench. Locked parameters override computed values; unlocked ones pass through.
+
+---
+
+## Milestone 3: A/B Voice Comparison
+
+- Split-screen: two voice modules side by side
+- Same packet, different voices
+- "Play Both" button with configurable delay between them
+- Good for iterating on v2/v3 voices against v1 constellation
+
+---
+
+## Milestone 4: Sequence Editor
+
+- Drag packets into a timeline to create a sequence
+- Adjust timing between packets manually
+- Play the sequence as a composition
+- Export as audio (MediaRecorder API → WAV/WebM)
+- Useful for demoing "this is what the mesh sounds like" without waiting for live traffic
+
+---
+
+## Milestone 5: Live Annotation Mode
+
+- Toggle on live map that shows the sound mapping panel for each packet as it plays
+- Small floating card near the animated path showing: type, notes, instrument
+- Fades out after the notes finish
+- Connects the live visualization with the audio in real-time
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Notes
+
+- Audio Lab is a new SPA page like packets/nodes/analytics
+- Reuses existing `MeshAudio.sonifyPacket()` and voice modules
+- Voice modules need a small extension: `play()` should return a `NoteSequence` object describing what it will play, not just play it. This enables the visualizer.
+- Or: add a `describe(parsed, opts)` method that returns the mapping without playing
+- BPM/volume/voice selection shared with live map via `MeshAudio.*`
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+1. API endpoint for bucketed representative packets
+2. Basic page layout with packet list and play button
+3. Sound mapping panel (computed parameters display)
+4. Note sequence breakdown
+5. Playback highlighting
+6. Byte visualizer
+7. Override sliders (M2)

 # Changelog
+
+## [2.5.0] "Digital Rain" — 2026-03-22
+
+### ✨ Matrix Mode — Full Cyberpunk Map Theme
+Toggle **Matrix** on the live map to transform the entire visualization:
+- **Green phosphor CRT aesthetic** — map tiles are desaturated and re-tinted through a `sepia → hue-rotate(70°) → saturate` filter chain, giving roads, coastlines, and terrain a faint green wireframe look against a dark background
+- **CRT scanline overlay** — subtle horizontal lines with a gentle flicker animation across the entire map
+- **Node markers dim to dark green** (#008a22 at 50% opacity) so they don't compete with packet animations
+- **Forces dark mode** while active (saves and restores your previous theme on toggle off)
+- **Disables heat map** automatically (incompatible visual combo)
+- **All UI panels themed** — feed panel, VCR controls, node detail all go green-on-black with monospace font
+- New markers created during Matrix mode (e.g. VCR timeline scrub) are automatically tinted
+
+### ✨ Matrix Hex Flight — Packet Bytes on the Wire
+When Matrix mode is enabled, packet animations between nodes show the **actual hex bytes from the raw packet data** flowing along the path:
+- **Real packet data** — bytes come from the packet's `raw_hex` field, not random/generated
+- **White leading byte** with triple-layer green neon glow (`text-shadow: 0 0 8px, 0 0 16px, 0 0 24px`)
+- **Trailing bytes fade** from bright to dim green, shrinking in size with distance from the head
+- **Scrolls through all bytes** in the packet as it travels each hop
+- **60fps animation** via `requestAnimationFrame` with time-based interpolation (1.1s per hop)
+- **300ms fade-out** after reaching the destination node
+- Replaces the standard contrail animation; toggle off to restore normal mode
+
+### ✨ Matrix Rain — Falling Packet Columns
+A separate **Rain** toggle adds a canvas-rendered overlay of falling hex byte columns, Matrix-style:
+- **Each incoming packet** spawns a column of its actual raw hex bytes falling from the top of the screen
+- **Fall distance proportional to hop count** — 4+ hops reach the bottom of the screen; a 1-hop packet barely drops. Matches the real mesh network: more hops = more propagation = longer rain trail
+- **Fall duration scales with distance** — 5 seconds for a full-screen drop, proportional for shorter
+- **Multiple observations = more rain** — each observation of a packet spawns its own column, staggered 150ms apart. A packet seen by 8 observers creates 8 simultaneous falling columns with ±1 hop variation for visual variety
+- **Leading byte is bright white** with green glow; trailing bytes progressively fade to green
+- **Entire column fades out** in the last 30% of its lifetime
+- **Canvas-rendered at 60fps** — no DOM overhead, handles hundreds of simultaneous drops
+- **Works independently or with Matrix mode** — combine both for the full effect
+- **Replay support** — the ▶ Replay button on packet detail pages now includes raw hex data so replayed packets produce rain
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+- **Fixed null element errors in Matrix hex flight** — `getElement()` returns null when DivIcon hasn't been rendered to DOM yet during fast VCR replay
+- **Fixed animation null-guard cascade** — `pulseNode`, `animatePath`, and `drawAnimatedLine` now bail early if map layers are null (stale `setInterval` callbacks after page navigation)
+- **Fixed WS broadcast with null packet** — deduplicated observations caused `fullPacket` to be null in WebSocket broadcasts
+- **Fixed pause button crash** — was killing WS handler registration
+- **Fixed multi-select menu close handler** — null-guard for missing elements
+
+### ⚡ Technical Notes
+- Matrix hex flight uses Leaflet `L.divIcon` markers for each character — the smoothness ceiling is Leaflet's DOM repositioning speed. CSS transitions were tested but caused stutter due to conflicts with Leaflet's internal transform updates.
+- Matrix Rain uses a raw `<canvas>` overlay at z-index 9998 for zero-DOM-overhead rendering. Each drop is a simple `{x, maxY, duration, bytes, startTime}` struct rendered in a single `requestAnimationFrame` loop.
+- Map tile tinting applies CSS filters to `.leaflet-tile-pane` and green overlays via `::before`/`::after` pseudo-elements on the map container (same element as `.leaflet-container`, so selectors use `.matrix-theme.leaflet-container` not descendant `.matrix-theme .leaflet-container`).
+
+## [2.4.1] — 2026-03-22
+
+Hotfix release for regressions introduced in v2.4.0.
+
+### Fixed
+- Packet ingestion broken: `insert()` returned undefined after legacy table removal, causing all MQTT packets to fail silently
+- Live packet updates not working: pause button `addEventListener` on null element crashed `init()`, preventing WS handler registration
+- Pause button not toggling: event delegation was on `app` variable not in IIFE scope; moved to `document`
+- WS broadcast had null packet data when observation was deduped (2nd+ observer of same packet)
+- Multi-select filter menu close handler crashed on null `observerFilterWrap`/`typeFilterWrap` elements
+- Live map animation cleanup crashed with null `animLayer`/`pathsLayer` after navigating away (setInterval kept firing)
+
+## [2.4.0] — 2026-03-22
+
+UI polish, client-side filtering, time window selector, DB cleanup, and bug fixes.
+
+### Added
+- Observation-level deeplinks (`#/packets/HASH?obs=OBSERVER_ID`)
+- Observation detail pane (click any child row for its specific data)
+- Observation sort: Observer / Path ↑↓ / Time ↑↓ with persistent preference
+- Ungrouped mode flattens all observations into individual rows
+- Sort help tooltip (ⓘ) explaining each mode
+- Distance/Range analytics tab with haversine calculations
+- View on Map buttons for distance leaderboard entries
+- Realistic packet propagation mode on live map
+- Packet propagation time in detail pane
+- Replay sends all observations with realistic animation
+- Paths-through section on node detail (desktop + mobile)
+- Regional filters on all tabs (shared RegionFilter component)
+- Favorites filter on live map (packet-level, not node markers)
+- Configurable map defaults via `config.json`
+- Hash prefix labels on map with spiral deconfliction + callout lines
+- Channel rainbow table (pre-computed keys for common names)
+- Zero-API live channel updates via WebSocket
+- Channel message dedup by packet hash
+- Channel name tags (blue pill) in packet detail column
+- Shareable channel URLs (`#/channels/HASH`)
+- API key required for POST endpoints
+- HTTPS support (lincomatic PR #105)
+- Graceful shutdown (lincomatic PR #109)
+- Filter bar: logical grouping, consistent 34px height, help tooltips
+- Multi-select Observer and Type filters (checkbox dropdowns, OR logic)
+- Hex Paths toggle: show raw hex hash prefixes vs resolved node names
+- Time window selector (15min/30min/1h/3h/6h/12h/24h/All) replaces fixed packet count limit
+- Pause/resume button (⏸/▶) for live WebSocket updates with buffered packet count
+- localStorage persistence for all filter/view preferences
+
+### Changed
+- Channel keys: plain `String(channelHash)`, `hashChannels` for auto-derived SHA256
+- Node region filtering uses ADVERT-based index (accurate local presence vs mesh-wide routing)
+- Header row reflects first sorted observation's data
+- Max hop distance filter: 1000km → 300km (LoRa record ~250km)
+- Route view labels use deconflicted divIcons
+- Channels page hides encrypted messages, shows only decrypted
+- Dark mode: active filter buttons retain accent styling
+- Region dropdown: `IATA - Friendly Name` format, proper sizing
+- Observer/Type filters are pure client-side (no API calls on filter change)
+- Packet loading: time-window based (`since`) instead of fixed count limit
+- Header row shows matching observer when observer filter is active
+
+### Removed
+- Legacy `packets` and `paths` database tables (auto-migrated on startup)
+- Redundant server-side type/observer filtering (client filters in-memory)

 ## [2.3.0] - 2026-03-20
 
 ### Added
@@ -27,47 +170,3 @@
 ### Performance
 - **8.19× dedup ratio on production** (117K observations → 14K transmissions)
 - RAM usage reduced proportionally — store loads transmissions, not inflated observations
-
-## v2.1.1 — Multi-Broker MQTT & Observer Detail (2026-03-20)
-
-### 🆕 New Features
-
-- **Multi-Broker MQTT** — Connect to multiple MQTT brokers simultaneously via `mqttSources` config array. Each source gets its own connection, topics, credentials, TLS settings, and optional IATA region filter. Legacy `mqtt` config still works.
-- **IATA Region Filtering** — `mqttSources[].iataFilter` restricts accepted regions per source (e.g. only accept SJC/SFO/OAK packets from a shared feed).
-- **Observer Detail Pages** — Click any observer row for a full detail page with status, radio info, battery/uptime/noise floor, packet type donut chart, timeline, unique nodes chart, SNR distribution, and recent packets table.
-- **Observer Status Topic Parsing** — `meshcore/<region>/<id>/status` messages populate model, firmware, client_version, radio config, battery, uptime, and noise floor. 7 new columns in the observers table with auto-migration.
-- **Channel Key Auto-Derivation** — Hashtag channel keys (`#channel`) are automatically derived as `SHA256("#channelname")` first 16 bytes on startup. Only non-hashtag keys (like `public`) need manual config.
-- **Map Dark/Light Mode** — Map page now uses CartoDB dark/light tiles that swap automatically with the theme toggle (same as live page).
-- **Shareable URLs** — Copy Link button on packet detail, standalone packet page at `#/packet/ID`, deep links to channels and observer detail pages.
-- **Multi-Node Packet Filter** — "My Nodes" toggle in packets view now uses server-side `findPacketsForNode()` to find ALL packet types (messages, acks, traces), not just ADVERTs.
-
-### 🐛 Bug Fixes
-
-- **Observer name resolution** — MQTT packets now pass `msg.origin` (friendly name) to both packet records and observer upserts. Previously only the status handler used it.
-- **Observer analytics ordering** — Fixed `recentPackets` returning oldest instead of newest (wrong slice direction). Sorted observer analytics packets explicitly.
-- **Spark bars visible** — Fixed `.data-table td { max-width: 0 }` crushing spark bar cells to zero width with inline style override.
-- **My Nodes filter field names** — Fixed `pubkey` → `pubKey`, `to`/`from` → `srcPubKey`/`destPubKey`/`srcHash`/`destHash`.
-- **Duplicate pin buttons** — Live page destroy now removes the nav pin button; init guards against duplicates.
-- **Packets page crash** — Fixed non-async `renderTableRows` using `await` (syntax error prevented entire page from loading).
-- **Node search all packet types** — Search by node name now returns messages, acks, and traces — not just ADVERTs.
-- **Node packet count accuracy** — `findPacketsForNode()` is now single source of truth for all node packet lookups.
-- **Health endpoint recentPackets** — Changed from `slice(-10).reverse()` to `slice(0, 20)` — 20 newest DESC instead of 10 oldest.
-- **RF analytics total packets** — Added `totalAllPackets` field so frontend shows both total and signal-filtered counts.
-- **Duplicate `const crypto` crash** — Removed duplicate `require('crypto')` that crashed prod for ~2 minutes.
-- **PII scrubbed from git history** — Removed real names and coordinates from seed data across all commits.
-
-### 🏗️ Infrastructure
-
-- **Docker container deployed to Azure VM** — Live at `https://analyzer.00id.net` with automatic Let's Encrypt TLS via Caddy.
-- **`deploy.sh` fixed** — Config mount (`-v config.json:/app/config.json:ro`) was missing, causing every deploy to fall back to placeholder credentials. Added `|| true` to stop/rm to prevent chain failures.
-- **CI/CD via GitHub Actions** — Self-hosted runner on VM, auto-deploys on push to master.

+# CUSTOMIZATION-PLAN.md — White-Label / Multi-Instance Theming
+
+## Status: Phase 1 Complete (v2.6.0+)
+
+### What's Built
+- Floating draggable customizer panel (🎨 in nav)
+- Basic (7 colors) + Advanced (12 colors + fonts) with light/dark mode
+- Node role colors + packet type colors
+- Branding (site name, logo, favicon)
+- Home page content editor with markdown support
+- Auto-save to localStorage + admin JSON export
+- Colors restore on page load before any rendering
+
+### Known Bugs to Fix
+- Nav background sometimes doesn't repaint (gradient caching)
+- Some pages may flash default colors before customization applies
+- Color picker dragging can still feel sluggish on complex pages
+- Reset preview may not fully restore all derived variables
+
+### Next Round: Phase 2
+- **Click-to-identify**: Click any UI element → customizer scrolls to the setting that controls it (like DevTools inspect but for theme colors)
+- **Theme presets**: Built-in themes (Default, Cascadia Navy, Forest Green, Midnight) — one-click switch
+- **Import config**: Paste JSON to load a theme (reverse of export)
+- **Preview home page changes live** without navigating away
+- Fix remaining 8 hardcoded colors from audit (nav stats, trace labels, rec-dot)
+- Hex viewer color customization (Advanced section)
+
+### Architecture Notes
+- `customize.js` MUST load right after `roles.js`, before `app.js` — color restore timing is critical
+- `syncBadgeColors()` in roles.js is the single source for badge CSS
+- `ROLE_STYLE[role].color` must be updated alongside `ROLE_COLORS[role]`
+- Auto-save debounced 500ms, theme-refresh debounced 300ms
+
+## Problem
+
+Regional mesh admins (e.g. CascadiaMesh) fork the analyzer and manually edit CSS/HTML to customize branding, colors, and content. This is fragile — every upstream update requires re-applying customizations.
+
+## Goal
+
+A `config.json`-driven customization system where admins configure branding, colors, labels, and home page content without touching source code. Accessible via a **Tools → Customization** UI that outputs the config.
+
+## Direct Feedback (CascadiaMesh Admin)
+
+Customizations they made manually:
+- **Branding**: Custom logo, favicon, site title ("CascadiaMesh Analyzer")
+- **Colors**: Node type colors (repeaters blue instead of red, companions red)
+- **UI styling**: Custom color scheme (deep navy theme — "Cascadia" theme)
+- **Home page**: Intro section emojis, steps, checklist content
+
+Requested config options:
+- Configurable branding assets (logo, favicon, site name)
+- Configurable UI colors/text labels
+- Configurable node type colors
+- Everything in the intro/home section should be configurable
+
+## Config Schema (proposed)

+    "latestPackets": "Latest Packets",
+    "liveMap": "Live Map"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Config Loading + CSS Variables (Server)
+- Server reads `config.json` theme section
+- New endpoint: `GET /api/config/theme` returns merged theme config
+- Client injects CSS variables from theme config on page load
+- Node type colors configurable via `window.TYPE_COLORS` override
+
+### Phase 2: Branding
+- Config drives nav bar title, logo, favicon
+- `index.html` rendered server-side with branding placeholders OR
+- Client JS replaces branding elements on load from `/api/config/theme`
+
+### Phase 3: Home Page Content
+- Home page sections (hero, steps, checklist, footer) driven by config
+- Default content baked in; config overrides specific sections
+- Emoji + text for each step configurable
+
+### Phase 4: Tools → Customization UI
+- New page `#/customize` (admin only?)
+- Color pickers for theme variables
+- Live preview
+- Branding upload (logo, favicon)
+- Export as JSON config
+- Home page content editor (WYSIWYG-lite)
+
+### Phase 5: CSS Theme Presets
+- Built-in themes: Default (blue), Cascadia (navy), Forest (green), Midnight (dark)
+- One-click theme switching
+- Custom theme = override any variable
+
+## Architecture Notes
+
+- Theme CSS variables are already in `:root {}` — just need to override from config
+- Node type colors used in `roles.js` via `TYPE_COLORS` — make configurable
+- Home page content is in `home.js` — extract to template driven by config
+- Logo/favicon: serve from config-specified path, default to built-in
+- No build step — pure runtime configuration
+- Config changes take effect on page reload (no server restart needed for theme)
+
+## Priority
+
+1. Theme colors (CSS variables from config) — highest impact, lowest effort
+2. Branding (site name, logo) — visible, requested
+3. Node type colors — requested specifically
+4. Home page content — requested
+5. Customization UI — nice to have, lower priority

+# Packet Deduplication Design
+
+## The Problem
+
+A single physical RF transmission gets recorded as N rows in the DB, where N = number of observers that heard it. Each row has the same `hash` but different `path_json` and `observer_id`.
+
+### Example
+```
+Pkt 1 repeat 1: Path: A→B→C→D→E   (observer E)
+Pkt 1 repeat 2: Path: A→B→F→G      (observer G)
+Pkt 1 repeat 3: Path: A→C→H→J→K    (observer K)
+```
+
+- Repeater A sent 1 packet, not 3
+- Repeater B sent 1 packet, not 2 (C and F both heard the same broadcast)
+- The hash is identical across all 3 rows
+
+### Why the hash works
+
+`computeContentHash()` = `SHA256(header_byte + payload)`, skipping path hops. Two observations of the same original packet through different paths produce the same hash. This is the dedup key.
+
+## What's inflated (and what's not)
+
+| Context | Current (inflated?) | Correct behavior |
+|---------|-------------------|------------------|
+| Node "total packets" | COUNT(*) — inflated | COUNT(DISTINCT hash) for transmissions |
+| Packets/hour on observer page | Raw count | Correct — each observer DID receive it |
+| Node analytics throughput | Inflated | DISTINCT hash |
+| Live map animations | N animations per physical packet | 1 animation? Or 1 per path? TBD |
+| "Heard By" table | Observations per observer | Correct as-is |
+| RF analytics (SNR/RSSI) | Mixes observations | Each observation has its own SNR — all valid |
+| Topology/path analysis | All paths shown | All paths are valuable — don't discard |
+| Packet list (grouped mode) | Groups by hash already | Probably fine |
+| Packet list (ungrouped) | Shows every observation | Maybe show distinct, expand for repeats? |
+
+## Key Principle
+
+**Observations are valuable data — never discard them.** The paths tell you about mesh topology, coverage, and redundancy. But **counts displayed to users should reflect reality** (1 transmission = 1 count).
+
+## Design Decisions Needed
+
+1. **What does "packets" mean in node detail?** Unique transmissions? Total observations? Both?
+2. **Live map**: 1 animation with multiple path lines? Or 1 per observation?
+3. **Analytics charts**: Should throughput charts show transmissions or observations?
+4. **Packet list default view**: Group by hash by default?
+5. **New metric: "observation ratio"?** — avg observations per transmission tells you about mesh redundancy/coverage
+
+## Work Items
+
+- [ ] **DB/API: Add distinct counts** — `findPacketsForNode()` and health endpoint should return both `totalTransmissions` (DISTINCT hash) and `totalObservations` (COUNT(*))
+- [ ] **Node detail UI** — show "X transmissions seen Y times" or similar
+- [ ] **Bulk health / network status** — use distinct hash counts
+- [ ] **Node analytics charts** — throughput should use distinct hashes
+- [ ] **Packets page default** — consider grouping by hash by default
+- [ ] **Live map** — decide on animation strategy for repeated observations
+- [ ] **Observer page** — observation count is correct, but could add "unique packets" column
+- [ ] **In-memory store** — add hash→[packets] index if not already there (check `pktStore.byHash`)
+- [ ] **API: packet siblings** — `/api/packets/:id/siblings` or `?groupByHash=true` (may already exist)
+- [ ] **RF analytics** — keep all observations for SNR/RSSI (each is a real measurement) but label counts correctly
+- [ ] **"Coverage ratio" metric** — avg(observations per unique hash) per node/observer — measures mesh redundancy
+
+## Live Map Animation Design
+
+### Current behavior
+Every observation triggers a separate animation. Same packet heard by 3 observers = 3 independent route animations. Looks like 3 packets when it was 1.
+
+### Options considered
+
+**Option A: Single animation, all paths simultaneously (PREFERRED)**
+When a hash first arrives, buffer briefly (500ms-2s) for sibling observations, then animate all paths at once. One pulse from origin, multiple route lines fanning out simultaneously. Most accurate — this IS what physically happened: one RF burst propagating through the mesh along multiple paths at once.
+
+Timing challenge: observations don't arrive simultaneously (seconds apart). Need to buffer the first observation, wait for siblings, then render all together. Adds slight latency to "live" feel.
+
+**Option B: Single animation, "best" path only** — REJECTED
+Pick shortest/highest-SNR path, animate only that. Clean but loses coverage/redundancy info.
+
+**Option C: Single origin pulse, staggered path reveals** — REJECTED
+Origin pulses once, paths draw in sequence with delay. Dramatic but busy, and doesn't reflect reality (the propagation is simultaneous).
+
+**Option D: Animate first, suppress siblings** — REJECTED (pragmatic but inaccurate)
+First observation gets animation, subsequent same-hash observations silently logged. Simple but you never see alternate paths on the live map.
+
+### Implementation notes (for when we build this)
+- Need a client-side hash buffer: `Map<hash, {timer, packets[]}>` 
+- On first WS packet with new hash: start timer (configurable, ~1-2s)
+- On subsequent packets with same hash: add to buffer, reset/extend timer
+- On timer expiry: animate all buffered paths for that hash simultaneously
+- Feed sidebar could show consolidated entry: "1 packet, 3 paths" with expand
+- Buffer window should be configurable (config.json)
+
+## Status
+
+**Discussion phase** — no code changes yet. Iavor wants to finalize design before implementation. Live map changes tabled for later.

+# Packet Deduplication — Normalized Schema Migration Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+Split the monolithic `packets` table into two tables:
+- **`packets`** — one row per unique physical transmission (keyed by content hash)
+- **`observations`** — one row per observer sighting (SNR, RSSI, path, observer, timestamp)
+
+This fixes inflated packet counts across the entire app and enables proper "1 transmission seen N times" semantics.
+
+## Current State
+
+**`packets` table**: 1 row per observation. ~61MB, ~30K+ rows. Same hash appears N times (once per observer). Fields mix transmission data (raw_hex, payload_type, decoded_json, hash) with observation data (observer_id, snr, rssi, path_json).
+
+**`packet-store.js`**: In-memory mirror of packets table. Indexes: `byId`, `byHash` (hash → [packets]), `byObserver`, `byNode`. All reads served from RAM. SQLite is write-only for packets.
+
+**Touch surface**: ~66 SQL queries across db.js/server.js/packet-store.js. ~12 frontend files consume packet data.
+
+---
+
+## Milestone 1: Schema Migration (Backend Only)
+
+**Goal**: New tables exist, data migrated, old table preserved as backup. No behavioral changes yet.
+
+### Tasks
+1. **Create new schema** in `db.js` init:
+   ```sql
+   CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS transmissions (
+     id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+     raw_hex TEXT NOT NULL,
+     hash TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+     first_seen TEXT NOT NULL,
+     route_type INTEGER,
+     payload_type INTEGER,
+     payload_version INTEGER,
+     decoded_json TEXT,
+     created_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now'))
+   );
+   
+   CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS observations (
+     id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+     transmission_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES transmissions(id),
+     hash TEXT NOT NULL,
+     observer_id TEXT,
+     observer_name TEXT,
+     direction TEXT,
+     snr REAL,
+     rssi REAL,
+     score INTEGER,
+     path_json TEXT,
+     timestamp TEXT NOT NULL,
+     created_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now'))
+   );
+   
+   CREATE INDEX idx_transmissions_hash ON transmissions(hash);
+   CREATE INDEX idx_transmissions_first_seen ON transmissions(first_seen);
+   CREATE INDEX idx_transmissions_payload_type ON transmissions(payload_type);
+   CREATE INDEX idx_observations_hash ON observations(hash);
+   CREATE INDEX idx_observations_transmission_id ON observations(transmission_id);
+   CREATE INDEX idx_observations_observer_id ON observations(observer_id);
+   CREATE INDEX idx_observations_timestamp ON observations(timestamp);
+   ```
+
+2. **Write migration script** (`scripts/migrate-dedup.js`):
+   - Read all rows from `packets` ordered by timestamp
+   - Group by hash
+   - For each unique hash: INSERT into `transmissions` (use first observation's raw_hex, decoded_json, etc.)
+   - For each row: INSERT into `observations` with foreign key to transmission
+   - Verify counts: `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM observations` = old packets count
+   - Verify: `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM transmissions` < observations count
+   - **Do NOT drop old `packets` table** — rename to `packets_backup`
+
+3. **Print migration stats**: total packets, unique transmissions, dedup ratio, time taken
+
+### Validation
+- `COUNT(*) FROM observations` = `COUNT(*) FROM packets_backup`
+- `COUNT(*) FROM transmissions` = `COUNT(DISTINCT hash) FROM packets_backup`
+- Spot-check: pick 5 known multi-observer packets, verify transmission + observations match
+
+### Risk: LOW — additive only, old data preserved
+
+---
+
+## Milestone 2: Dual-Write Ingest
+
+**Goal**: New packets written to both old and new tables. Read path unchanged. Zero downtime.
+
+### Tasks
+1. **Update `db.js` `insertPacket()`**:
+   - On new packet: check if `transmissions` row exists for hash
+   - If not: INSERT into `transmissions`, get id
+   - If yes: UPDATE `first_seen` if this timestamp is earlier
+   - INSERT into `observations` with transmission_id
+   - **Still also write to old `packets` table** (dual-write for safety)
+
+2. **Update `packet-store.js` `insert()`**: Mirror the dual-write in memory model
+   - Maintain both old flat array AND new `byTransmission` Map
+
+### Validation
+- Send test packets, verify they appear in both old and new tables
+- Verify multi-observer packet creates 1 transmission + N observations
+
+### Risk: LOW — old read path still works as fallback
+
+---
+
+## Milestone 3: In-Memory Store Restructure
+
+**Goal**: `packet-store.js` switches from flat packet array to transmission-centric model.
+
+### Tasks
+1. **New in-memory data model**:
+   ```
+   transmissions: Map<hash, {id, raw_hex, hash, first_seen, payload_type, decoded_json, observations: []}>
+   ```
+   Each observation: `{id, observer_id, observer_name, snr, rssi, path_json, timestamp}`
+
+2. **Update indexes**:
+   - `byHash`: hash → transmission object (1:1 instead of 1:N)
+   - `byObserver`: observer_id → [observation references]
+   - `byNode`: pubkey → [transmission references] (deduped!)
+   - `byId`: observation.id → observation (for backward compat with packet detail links)
+
+3. **Update `load()`**: Read from `transmissions` JOIN `observations` instead of `packets`
+
+4. **Update query methods**:
+   - `findPackets()` — returns transmissions by default, with `.observations` attached
+   - `findPacketsForNode()` — returns transmissions where node appears in ANY observation's path/decoded_json
+   - `getSiblings()` — becomes `getObservations(hash)` — trivial, just return `transmission.observations`
+   - `countForNode()` — returns `{transmissions: N, observations: M}`
+
+### Validation
+- All existing API endpoints return valid data
+- Packet counts decrease (correctly!) for multi-observer nodes
+- `/api/perf` shows no regression
+
+### Risk: MEDIUM — core read path changes. Test thoroughly.
+
+---
+
+## Milestone 4: API Response Changes
+
+**Goal**: APIs return deduped data with observation counts.
+
+### Tasks
+1. **`GET /api/packets`**:
+   - Default: return transmissions (1 row per unique packet)
+   - Each transmission includes `observation_count` and optionally `observations[]`
+   - `?expand=observations` to include full observation list
+   - `?groupByHash` becomes the default behavior (deprecate param)
+   - Preserve `observer` filter: return transmissions where at least one observation matches
+
+2. **`GET /api/nodes/:pubkey/health`**:
+   - `stats.totalPackets` → `stats.totalTransmissions` (distinct hashes)
+   - Add `stats.totalObservations` (old count, for reference)
+   - `recentPackets` → returns transmissions with observation_count
+
+3. **`GET /api/nodes/bulk-health`**: Same changes as health
+
+4. **`GET /api/nodes/network-status`**: Use transmission counts
+
+5. **`GET /api/nodes/:pubkey/analytics`**: All throughput charts use transmission counts
+
+6. **WebSocket broadcast**: Include `observation_count` when sibling observations exist for same hash
+
+### Backward Compatibility
+- Add `?legacy=1` param that returns old-style flat observations (for any external consumers)
+- Include both `totalTransmissions` and `totalObservations` in health responses during transition
+
+### Risk: MEDIUM — frontend expects certain shapes. May need coordinated deploy with Milestone 5.
+
+---
+
+## Milestone 5: Frontend Updates
+
+**Goal**: UI shows correct counts and leverages observation data.
+
+### Tasks
+1. **Packets page**:
+   - Default view shows transmissions (already has groupByHash mode — make it default)
+   - Expand row to see individual observations with their paths/SNR/RSSI
+   - Badge: "×3 observers" on grouped rows
+
+2. **Node detail panel** (nodes.js + live.js):
+   - Show "X transmissions" not "X packets"  
+   - Or "X packets (seen Y times)" to show both
+
+3. **Home page**: Network stats use transmission counts
+
+4. **Node analytics**: Throughput charts use transmissions
+
+5. **Observer detail**: Keep observation counts (correct metric for observers)
+
+6. **Analytics page**: Topology/RF analysis uses all observations (SNR per observation is valid data)
+
+### Risk: LOW-MEDIUM — mostly display changes
+
+---
+
+## Milestone 6: Cleanup
+
+**Goal**: Remove dual-write, drop old table, clean up.
+
+### Tasks
+1. Remove dual-write from `insertPacket()`
+2. Drop `packets_backup` table (after confirming everything works for 1+ week)
+3. Remove `?legacy=1` support if unused
+4. Update DEDUP-DESIGN.md → mark as complete
+5. VACUUM the database
+6. Tag release (v2.3.0?)
+
+### Risk: LOW — cleanup only, all functional changes already proven
+
+---
+
+## Estimated Scope
+
+| Milestone | Files Modified | Complexity | Can Deploy Independently? |

+| 2. Dual-Write | db.js, packet-store.js | Low | Yes — old reads unchanged |
+| 3. Memory Store | packet-store.js | Medium | No — must deploy with M4 |

+
+**Milestones 1-2**: Safe to deploy independently, no user-visible changes.  
+**Milestones 3-5**: Must ship together (API shape changes + frontend expects new shape).  
+**Milestone 6**: Ship after 1 week bake.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Table naming**: `transmissions` + `observations`? Or keep `packets` + add `observations`? The word "transmission" is more accurate but "packet" is what the whole UI calls them.
+2. **Packet detail URLs**: Currently `#/packet/123` uses the observation ID. Keep observation IDs as the URL key? Or switch to hash?
+3. **Path dedup in paths table**: The `paths` table also has per-observation entries. Normalize that too, or leave as-is?
+4. **Migration on prod**: Run migration script before deploying new code, or make new code handle both old and new schema?

 ### Docker (Recommended)
 
-The easiest way to run MeshCore Analyzer. Includes Mosquitto MQTT broker — everything in one container.
-
 ```bash
-docker build -t meshcore-analyzer .
-docker run -d \
-  --name meshcore-analyzer \
-  -p 80:80 \
-  -p 443:443 \
-  -p 1883:1883 \

-  -v caddy-certs:/data/caddy \
-  meshcore-analyzer
+git clone https://github.com/Kpa-clawbot/meshcore-analyzer.git
+cd meshcore-analyzer
+./manage.sh setup
 ```
 
-Open `http://localhost`. Point your MeshCore gateway's MQTT to `<host-ip>:1883`.
+The setup wizard walks you through everything — config, domain, HTTPS, build, and run. Safe to cancel and re-run at any point.
 
-**With a domain (automatic HTTPS):**
+After setup:
 ```bash
-# Create a Caddyfile with your domain
-echo 'analyzer.example.com { reverse_proxy localhost:3000 }' > Caddyfile
-

-**Custom config:**
-```bash
-# Copy and edit the example config
-cp config.example.json config.json
-# Edit config.json with your channel keys, regions, etc.
-
-docker run -d \
-  --name meshcore-analyzer \

+# v2.6.0 — Audio Sonification, Regional Hop Filtering, Audio Lab
+
+## 🔊 Mesh Audio Sonification
+
+Packets now have sound. Each packet's raw bytes become music through a modular voice engine.
+
+- **Payload type → instrument + scale**: ADVERTs play triangle waves on C major pentatonic, GRP_TXT uses sine on A minor pentatonic, TXT_MSG on E natural minor, TRACE on D whole tone
+- **Payload bytes → melody**: √(payload_length) bytes sampled evenly, quantized to scale
+- **Byte value → note duration**: low bytes = staccato, high = sustained
+- **Byte delta → note spacing**: small deltas = rapid fire, large = pauses
+- **Observation count → volume + chord voicing**: more observers = louder + richer (up to 8 detuned voices via log₂ scaling)
+- **Hop count → filter cutoff**: more hops = more muffled (lowpass 800-8000Hz)
+- **Node longitude → stereo pan**
+- **BPM tempo slider** for ambient ↔ techno feel
+- **Per-packet limiter** prevents amplitude spikes from overlapping notes
+- **Exponential envelopes** eliminate click/pop artifacts
+- **"Tap to enable audio" overlay** handles browser autoplay policy
+- **Modular voice architecture**: engine (`audio.js`) + swappable voice modules. New voices = new file + script tag.
+
+## 🎵 Audio Lab (Packet Jukebox)
+
+New `#/audio-lab` page for understanding and debugging the audio:
+
+- **Packet buckets by type** — representative packets spanning size/observation ranges
+- **Play/Loop/Speed controls** — trigger individual packets, 0.25x to 4x speed
+- **Sound Mapping panel** — shows WHY each parameter has its value (formulas + computed results)
+- **Note Sequence table** — every sampled byte → MIDI note → frequency → duration → gap, with derivation formulas
+- **Real-time playback highlighting** — hex dump, note rows, and byte visualizer highlight in sync as each note plays
+- **Click individual notes** — play any single note from the sequence
+- **Byte Visualizer** — bar chart of payload bytes, sampled bytes colored by type
+
+## 🗺️ Regional Hop Filtering (#117)
+
+1-byte repeater IDs (0-255) collide globally. Previously, resolve-hops picked candidates from anywhere, causing false cross-regional paths (e.g., Eugene packet showing Vancouver repeaters).
+
+- **Layered filtering**: GPS distance to IATA center (bridge-proof) → observer-based fallback → global fallback
+- **60+ IATA airport coordinates** built in for geographic distance calculations
+- **Regional candidates sorted by distance** — closest to region center wins when no sender GPS available
+- **Sender GPS as origin anchor** — ADVERTs use their own coordinates; channel messages look up sender node GPS from previous ADVERTs in the database
+- **Per-observer resolution** — packet list batch-resolves ambiguous hops per observer via server API
+- **Conflict popover** — clickable ⚠ badges show all regional candidates with distances, each linking to node detail
+- **Shared HopDisplay module** — consistent conflict display across packets, nodes, and detail views
+
+## 🏷️ Region Dropdown Improvements (#116)
+
+- **150+ built-in IATA-to-city mappings** — dropdown shows `SEA - Seattle, WA` automatically, no config needed
+- **Layout fixes** — dropdown auto-sizes for longer labels, checkbox alignment, ellipsis overflow
+
+## 📍 Location & Navigation
+
+- **Packet detail shows location** for ADVERTs (direct GPS), channel texts (sender node lookup), and all resolvable senders
+- **📍 Map link** navigates to `#/map?node=PUBKEY` — centers on the actual node and opens its popup
+- **Observer IATA regions** shown in packet detail, node detail, and live map node panels
+
+## 🔧 Fixes
+
+- **Realistic mode fixed** — secondary WS broadcast paths (ADVERT, GRP_TXT, TXT_MSG, TRACE) were missing `hash` field, bypassing the 5-second grouping buffer entirely
+- **Observation count passed to sonification** — realistic mode now provides actual observer count for volume/chord voicing
+- **Packet list dedup** — O(1) hash index via Map prevents duplicate rows
+- **Observer names in packet detail** — direct navigation to `#/packets/HASH` now loads observers first
+- **Observer detail packet links** — fixed to use hash (not ID) and correct route
+- **Time window bypassed for direct links** — `#/packets/HASH` always shows the packet regardless of time filter
+- **CI: `docker rm -f`** — prevents stale container conflicts during deploy
+- **CI: `paths-ignore`** — skips deploy on markdown/docs/license changes

+# Customizing Your Instance
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. Open your analyzer in a browser
+2. Go to **Tools → Customize**
+3. Change colors, branding, home page content
+4. Click **💾 Download theme.json**
+5. Put the file next to your `config.json` on the server
+6. Refresh the page — done
+
+No restart needed. The server picks up changes to `theme.json` on every page load.
+
+## Where Does theme.json Go?
+
+**Next to config.json.** However you deployed, put them side by side.
+
+**Docker:**
+```bash
+# Add to your docker run command:
+-v /path/to/theme.json:/app/theme.json:ro
+
+# Or if you bind-mount the data directory:
+# Just put theme.json in that directory
+```
+
+**Bare metal / PM2 / systemd:**
+```bash
+# Same directory as server.js and config.json
+cp theme.json /path/to/meshcore-analyzer/
+```
+
+Check the server logs on startup — it tells you where it's looking:
+```
+[theme] Loaded from /app/theme.json
+```
+or:
+```
+[theme] No theme.json found. Place it next to config.json or in data/ to customize.
+```
+
+## What Can You Customize?
+
+### Branding
+```json
+{
+  "branding": {
+    "siteName": "Bay Area Mesh",
+    "tagline": "Community LoRa mesh network",
+    "logoUrl": "/my-logo.svg",
+    "faviconUrl": "/my-favicon.png"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Logo replaces the 🍄 emoji in the nav bar (renders at 24px height). Favicon replaces the browser tab icon. Use a URL path for files in the `public/` folder, or a full URL for external images.
+
+### Theme Colors (Light Mode)
+```json
+{
+  "theme": {
+    "accent": "#ff6b6b",
+    "navBg": "#1a1a2e",

+      { "label": "🗺️ Map", "url": "#/map" }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Step descriptions and checklist answers support Markdown (`**bold**`, `*italic*`, `` `code` ``, `[links](url)`).
+
+## User vs Admin Themes
+
+- **Admin theme** (`theme.json`): Default for all users. Edit the file, refresh.
+- **User theme** (browser): Each user can override the admin theme via Tools → Customize → "Save as my theme". Stored in localStorage, only affects that browser.
+
+User themes take priority over admin themes. Users can reset their personal theme to go back to the admin default.

+## What You'll End Up With
+
+- MeshCore Analyzer running at `https://your-domain.com`
+- Automatic HTTPS certificates (via Let's Encrypt + Caddy)
+- Built-in MQTT broker for receiving packets from observers
+- SQLite database for packet storage (auto-created)
+- Everything in a single Docker container
+
+## What You Need Before Starting
+
+### A server
+A computer that's always on and connected to the internet:
+- **Cloud VM** — DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, AWS, Azure, etc. A $5-6/month VPS works. Pick **Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04**.
+- **Raspberry Pi** — Works, just slower to build.
+- **Home PC/laptop** — Works if your ISP doesn't block ports 80/443 (many residential ISPs do).
+
+You'll need **SSH access** to your server. Cloud providers give you instructions when you create the VM.
+
+### A domain name
+A domain (like `analyzer.example.com`) pointed at your server's IP:
+- Buy one (~$10/year) from Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.
+- Or use a free subdomain from [DuckDNS](https://www.duckdns.org/) or [FreeDNS](https://freedns.afraid.org/)
+
+After getting a domain, create an **A record** pointing to your server's IP address. Your domain provider's dashboard will have a "DNS" section for this.
+
+**Important:** DNS must be configured and propagated *before* you start the container. Caddy will try to provision certificates on startup and fail if the domain doesn't resolve. Verify with `dig analyzer.example.com` — it should show your server's IP.
+
+### Open ports
+Your server's firewall must allow:
+- **Port 80** — needed for HTTPS certificate provisioning (Let's Encrypt ACME challenge)
+- **Port 443** — HTTPS traffic
+
+Cloud providers: find "Security Groups" or "Firewall" in the dashboard, add inbound rules for TCP 80 and 443 from 0.0.0.0/0.
+
+Ubuntu firewall:
+```bash
+sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
+sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
+```
+
+## Installing Docker
+
+Docker packages an app and all its dependencies into a container — an isolated environment with everything it needs to run. You don't install Node.js, Mosquitto, or Caddy separately; they're all included in the container.
+
+SSH into your server and run:
+
+```bash
+# Install Docker
+curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
+
+# Allow your user to run Docker without sudo
+sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
+```
+
+**Log out and SSH back in** (the group change needs a new session), then verify:
+
+```bash
+docker --version
+# Should print: Docker version 24.x.x or newer
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+The easiest way — use the management script:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Kpa-clawbot/meshcore-analyzer.git
+cd meshcore-analyzer
+./manage.sh setup
+```
+
+It walks you through everything: checks Docker, creates config, asks for your domain, checks DNS, builds, and starts.
+
+After setup, manage with:
+```bash
+./manage.sh status       # Check if everything's running
+./manage.sh logs         # View logs
+./manage.sh backup       # Backup the database
+./manage.sh update       # Pull latest + rebuild + restart
+./manage.sh mqtt-test    # Check if MQTT data is flowing
+./manage.sh help         # All commands
+```
+
+### Manual setup
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    A[Clone repo] --> B[Create config] --> C[Create Caddyfile] --> D[Build & run] --> E[Open site]
+    style E fill:#22c55e,color:#000
+```
+
+### 1. Download the code
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Kpa-clawbot/meshcore-analyzer.git
+cd meshcore-analyzer
+```
+
+### 2. Create your config
+
+```bash
+cp config.example.json config.json
+nano config.json
+```
+
+Change the `apiKey` to any random string. The rest of the defaults work out of the box.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "apiKey": "change-me-to-something-random",
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+Save: `Ctrl+O`, `Enter`, `Ctrl+X`.
+
+### 3. Set up your domain for HTTPS
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p caddy-config
+nano caddy-config/Caddyfile
+```
+
+Enter your domain (replace `analyzer.example.com` with yours):
+
+```
+analyzer.example.com {
+    reverse_proxy localhost:3000
+}
+```
+
+Save and close. Caddy handles certificates, renewals, and HTTP→HTTPS redirects automatically.
+
+### 4. Build and run
+
+```bash
+docker build -t meshcore-analyzer .
+
+docker run -d \
+  --name meshcore-analyzer \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  -p 80:80 \
+  -p 443:443 \
+  -v $(pwd)/config.json:/app/config.json:ro \
+  -v $(pwd)/caddy-config/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile:ro \
+  -v meshcore-data:/app/data \
+  -v caddy-data:/data/caddy \
+  meshcore-analyzer
+```
+
+What each flag does:
+| Flag | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `-d` | Run in background |
+| `--restart unless-stopped` | Auto-restart on crash or reboot |
+| `-p 80:80 -p 443:443` | Expose web ports |
+| `-v .../config.json:...ro` | Your config (read-only) |
+| `-v .../Caddyfile:...` | Your domain config |
+| `-v meshcore-data:/app/data` | Database storage (persists across restarts) |
+| `-v caddy-data:/data/caddy` | HTTPS certificate storage |
+
+### 5. Verify
+
+Open `https://your-domain.com`. You should see the analyzer home page.
+
+Check the logs:
+```bash
+docker logs meshcore-analyzer
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```
+MeshCore Analyzer running on http://localhost:3000
+MQTT [local] connected to mqtt://localhost:1883
+[pre-warm] 12 endpoints in XXXms
+```
+
+The container runs its own MQTT broker (Mosquitto) internally — that `localhost:1883` connection is inside the container, not exposed to the internet.
+
+## Connecting an Observer
+
+The analyzer receives packets from observers via MQTT.
+
+### Option A: Use a public broker
+
+Add a remote broker to `mqttSources` in your `config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "public-broker",
+  "broker": "mqtts://mqtt.lincomatic.com:8883",
+  "username": "your-username",
+  "password": "your-password",
+  "rejectUnauthorized": false,
+  "topics": ["meshcore/SJC/#", "meshcore/SFO/#"]
+}
+```
+
+Restart: `docker restart meshcore-analyzer`
+
+### Option B: Run your own observer
+
+You need a MeshCore repeater connected via USB or BLE to a computer running [meshcoretomqtt](https://github.com/Cisien/meshcoretomqtt). Point it at your analyzer's MQTT broker.
+
+⚠️ If your observer is remote (not on the same machine), you'll need to expose port 1883. **Read the MQTT Security section first.**
+
+## HTTPS Options
+
+### Automatic (recommended) — Caddy + Let's Encrypt
+
+This is what the Quick Start sets up. Caddy handles everything. Requirements:
+- Domain pointed at your server
+- Ports 80 + 443 open
+- No other web server (Apache, nginx) running on those ports
+
+### Bring your own certificate
+
+If you already have a certificate (from Cloudflare, your organization, etc.), tell Caddy to use it instead of Let's Encrypt:
+
+```
+analyzer.example.com {
+    tls /path/to/cert.pem /path/to/key.pem
+    reverse_proxy localhost:3000
+}
+```
+
+Mount the cert files into the container:
+```bash
+docker run ... \
+  -v /path/to/cert.pem:/certs/cert.pem:ro \
+  -v /path/to/key.pem:/certs/key.pem:ro \
+  ...
+```
+
+And update the Caddyfile paths to `/certs/cert.pem` and `/certs/key.pem`.
+
+### Cloudflare Tunnel (no open ports needed)
+
+If you can't open ports 80/443 (residential ISP, restrictive firewall), use a [Cloudflare Tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/). It creates an outbound connection from your server to Cloudflare — no inbound ports needed. Your Caddyfile becomes:
+
+```
+:80 {
+    reverse_proxy localhost:3000
+}
+```
+
+And Cloudflare handles HTTPS at the edge.
+
+### Behind an existing reverse proxy (nginx, Traefik, etc.)
+
+If you already run a reverse proxy, skip Caddy entirely and proxy directly to the Node.js port:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name meshcore-analyzer \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  -p 3000:3000 \
+  -v $(pwd)/config.json:/app/config.json:ro \
+  -v meshcore-data:/app/data \
+  meshcore-analyzer
+```
+
+Then configure your existing proxy to forward traffic to `localhost:3000`.
+
+### HTTP only (development / local network)
+
+For local testing or a LAN-only setup, use the default Caddyfile that ships in the image (serves on port 80, no HTTPS):
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name meshcore-analyzer \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  -p 80:80 \
+  -v $(pwd)/config.json:/app/config.json:ro \
+  -v meshcore-data:/app/data \
+  meshcore-analyzer
+```
+
+## MQTT Security
+
+The container runs Mosquitto on port 1883 with **anonymous access by default**. This is safe as long as the port isn't exposed outside the container.
+
+The Quick Start docker run command above does **not** expose port 1883. Only add `-p 1883:1883` if you need remote observers to connect directly.
+
+### If you need to expose MQTT
+
+**Option 1: Firewall** — Only allow specific IPs:
+```bash
+sudo ufw allow from 203.0.113.10 to any port 1883   # Your observer's IP
+```
+
+**Option 2: Add authentication** — Edit `docker/mosquitto.conf` before building:
+```
+allow_anonymous false
+password_file /etc/mosquitto/passwd
+```
+After starting the container, create users:
+```bash
+docker exec -it meshcore-analyzer mosquitto_passwd -c /etc/mosquitto/passwd myuser
+```
+
+**Option 3: Use TLS** — For production, configure Mosquitto with TLS certificates. See the [Mosquitto docs](https://mosquitto.org/man/mosquitto-conf-5.html).
+
+### Recommended approach for remote observers
+
+Don't expose 1883 at all. Instead, have your observers publish to a shared public MQTT broker (like lincomatic's), and configure your analyzer to subscribe to that broker in `mqttSources`. The analyzer makes an outbound connection — no inbound ports needed.
+
+## Database Backups
+
+Packet data is stored in `meshcore.db` inside the data volume.
+
+**Using manage.sh (easiest):**
+
+```bash
+./manage.sh backup                          # Saves to ./backups/meshcore-TIMESTAMP.db
+./manage.sh backup ~/my-backup.db           # Custom path
+./manage.sh restore ./backups/some-file.db  # Restore (backs up current DB first)
+```
+
+**Local directory mount (recommended):**
+
+If you used `-v ./analyzer-data:/app/data` instead of a Docker volume, the database is just `./analyzer-data/meshcore.db` — back it up however you like.
+
+**Automated daily backup (cron):**
+
+```bash
+crontab -e
+# Add:
+0 3 * * * cd /path/to/meshcore-analyzer && ./manage.sh backup
+```
+
+## Updating
+
+```bash
+./manage.sh update
+```
+
+Pulls latest code, rebuilds the image, restarts the container. Data is preserved.
+
+Data is preserved in the Docker volumes.
+
+**Tip:** Save your `docker run` command in a script (`run.sh`) so you don't have to remember all the flags.
+
+## Customization
+
+### Branding
+
+In `config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "branding": {
+    "siteName": "Bay Area Mesh",
+    "tagline": "Community LoRa network for the Bay Area",
+    "logoUrl": "https://example.com/logo.png",
+    "faviconUrl": "https://example.com/favicon.ico"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Themes
+
+Create a `theme.json` in your data directory to customize colors. See [CUSTOMIZATION.md](./CUSTOMIZATION.md) for all options.
+
+### Map defaults
+
+Center the map on your area in `config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mapDefaults": {
+    "center": [37.45, -122.0],
+    "zoom": 9
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
+|---------|-------------|-----|
+| Site shows "connection refused" | Container not running | `docker ps` to check, `docker logs meshcore-analyzer` for errors |
+| HTTPS not working | Port 80 blocked | Open port 80 — Caddy needs it for ACME challenges |
+| "too many certificates" error | Let's Encrypt rate limit (5/domain/week) | Use a different subdomain, bring your own cert, or wait a week |
+| Certificate won't provision | DNS not pointed at server | `dig your-domain` must show your server IP before starting |
+| No packets appearing | No observer connected | `docker exec meshcore-analyzer mosquitto_sub -t 'meshcore/#' -C 1 -W 10` — if silent, no data is coming in |
+| Container crashes on startup | Bad JSON in config | `python3 -c "import json; json.load(open('config.json'))"` to validate |
+| "address already in use" | Another web server on 80/443 | Stop it: `sudo systemctl stop nginx apache2` |
+| Slow on Raspberry Pi | First build is slow | Normal — subsequent builds use cache. Runtime performance is fine. |

+# Hash Prefix Disambiguation in MeshCore Analyzer
+
+## Section 1: Executive Summary
+
+### What Are Hash Prefixes?
+
+MeshCore is a LoRa mesh network where every packet records the nodes it passed through (its "path"). To save bandwidth on a constrained radio link, each hop in the path is stored as a **truncated hash** of the node's public key — typically just **1 byte** (2 hex characters), though the firmware supports 1–3 bytes per hop.
+
+With 1-byte hashes, there are only 256 possible values. In any mesh with more than ~20 nodes, **collisions are inevitable** — multiple nodes share the same prefix.
+
+### How Disambiguation Works
+
+When displaying a packet's path (e.g., `A3 → 7F → B1`), the system must figure out *which* node each prefix refers to. The algorithm is the same everywhere:
+
+1. **Prefix lookup** — Find all known nodes whose public key starts with the hop's hex prefix
+2. **Trivial case** — If exactly one match, use it
+3. **Regional filtering** (server `/api/resolve-hops` only) — If the packet came from a known geographic region (via observer IATA code), filter candidates to nodes near that region
+4. **Forward pass** — Walk the path left-to-right; for each ambiguous hop, pick the candidate closest to the previous resolved hop
+5. **Backward pass** — Walk right-to-left for any still-unresolved hops, using the next hop as anchor
+6. **Sanity check** — Flag hops that are geographically implausible (>~200 km from both neighbors) as `unreliable`
+
+### When It Matters
+
+- **Packet path display** (packets page, node detail, live feed) — every path shown to users goes through disambiguation
+- **Topology analysis** (analytics subpaths) — route patterns rely on correctly identifying repeaters
+- **Map route overlay** — drawing lines between hops on a map requires resolved coordinates
+- **Auto-learning** — the server creates stub node records for unknown 2+ byte hop prefixes
+
+### Known Limitations
+
+- **1-byte prefixes are inherently lossy** — 256 possible values for potentially thousands of nodes. Regional filtering helps but can't solve all collisions.
+- **Nodes without GPS** — If no candidates have coordinates, geographic disambiguation can't help; the first candidate wins arbitrarily.
+- **Regional filtering is server-only** — The `/api/resolve-hops` endpoint has observer-based fallback filtering (for GPS-less nodes seen by regional observers). The client-side `HopResolver` only does geographic regional filtering.
+- **Stale prefix index** — The server caches the prefix index on the `allNodes` array object. It's cleared on node upsert but could theoretically serve stale data briefly.
+
+### How the Two-Pass Algorithm Works
+
+A packet path arrives as truncated hex prefixes. Some resolve to one node (unique), some match multiple (ambiguous). Two passes guarantee every hop gets resolved:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    subgraph raw["① Candidate Lookup"]
+        direction LR
+        r1(("A3<br>3 matches")):::ambig
+        r2(("7F<br>1 match")):::known

+```
+

+        f4(("E4<br>anchor")):::known
+        f5(("A3→✅<br>nearest E4")):::resolved
+    end
+    f1-- "→" ---f2-- "→" ---f3-- "→" ---f4-- "→" ---f5
+
+    classDef known fill:#166534,color:#fff,stroke:#22c55e
+    classDef ambig fill:#991b1b,color:#fff,stroke:#ef4444
+    classDef resolved fill:#1e40af,color:#fff,stroke:#3b82f6
+```
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart RL
+    subgraph bwd["③ Backward Pass ←  catch hops the forward pass missed"]
+        direction RL
+        b5(("A3 ✅")):::known
+        b4(("E4 ✅")):::known
+        b3(("B1 ✅")):::known
+        b2(("7F<br>anchor")):::known
+        b1(("A3→✅<br>nearest 7F")):::resolved
+    end
+    b5-- "←" ---b4-- "←" ---b3-- "←" ---b2-- "←" ---b1
+
+    classDef known fill:#166534,color:#fff,stroke:#22c55e
+    classDef resolved fill:#1e40af,color:#fff,stroke:#3b82f6
+```
+
+**Forward** resolves hops that have a known node to their left. **Backward** catches the ones at the start of the path that had no left anchor. After both passes, every hop either resolved to a specific node or has no candidates at all.
+
+---
+
+## Section 2: Technical Details
+
+### 2.1 Firmware: How Hops Are Encoded
+
+From `firmware/src/MeshCore.h`:
+```c
+#define PATH_HASH_SIZE  1    // Default: 1 byte per hop
+#define MAX_HASH_SIZE   8    // Maximum hash size for dedup tables
+```
+
+The **path_length byte** in each packet encodes both hop count and hash size:
+- **Bits 0–5**: hop count (0–63)
+- **Bits 6–7**: hash size minus 1 (`0b00` = 1 byte, `0b01` = 2 bytes, `0b10` = 3 bytes)
+
+From `firmware/docs/packet_format.md`: the path section is `hop_count × hash_size` bytes, with a maximum of 64 bytes (`MAX_PATH_SIZE`). Each hop hash is the first N bytes of the node's public key hash.
+
+The `sendFlood()` function accepts `path_hash_size` parameter (default 1), allowing nodes to use larger hashes when configured.
+
+### 2.2 Decoder: Extracting Hops
+
+`decoder.js` — `decodePath(pathByte, buf, offset)`:
+```javascript
+const hashSize = (pathByte >> 6) + 1;   // 1-4 bytes per hash
+const hashCount = pathByte & 0x3F;       // 0-63 hops
+```
+Each hop is extracted as `hashSize` bytes of hex. The decoder is straightforward and doesn't do any disambiguation — it outputs raw hex prefixes.
+
+### 2.3 Server-Side Disambiguation
+
+There are **three** disambiguation implementations on the server:
+
+#### 2.3.1 `disambiguateHops()` — in both `server.js` (line 498) and `server-helpers.js` (line 149)
+
+The primary workhorse. Used by most API endpoints. Algorithm:
+
+1. **Build prefix index** (cached on the `allNodes` array):
+   - For each node, index its public key at 1-byte (2 hex), 2-byte (4 hex), and 3-byte (6 hex) prefix lengths
+   - `_prefixIdx[prefix]` → array of matching nodes
+   - `_prefixIdxName[prefix]` → first matching node (name fallback)
+
+2. **First pass — candidate matching**:
+   - Look up `prefixIdx[hop]`; filter to nodes with valid coordinates
+   - 1 match with coords → resolved
+   - Multiple matches with coords → ambiguous (keep candidate list)
+   - 0 matches with coords → fall back to `prefixIdxName` for name only
+
+3. **Forward pass**: Walk left→right, sort ambiguous candidates by distance to last known position, pick closest.
+
+4. **Backward pass**: Walk right→left, same logic with next known position.
+
+5. **Sanity check**: Mark hops as `unreliable` if they're >MAX_HOP_DIST (default 1.8° ≈ 200 km) from both neighbors. Clear their lat/lon.
+
+**Callsites** (all in `server.js`):
+| Line | Context |
+|------|---------|
+| 2480 | `/api/paths` — group and resolve path display |
+| 2659 | `/api/analytics/topology` — topology graph |
+| 2720 | `/api/analytics/subpaths` — route pattern analysis |
+| 2788 | `/api/node/:key` — node detail page, packet paths |
+| 2822 | `/api/node/:key` — parent path resolution |
+
+#### 2.3.2 `/api/resolve-hops` endpoint (server.js line 1944)
+
+The most sophisticated version — used by the client-side packets page as fallback (though `HopResolver` handles most cases now). Additional features beyond `disambiguateHops()`:
+
+- **Regional filtering**: Uses observer IATA codes to determine packet region
+  - **Layer 1 (Geographic)**: If candidate has GPS, check distance to IATA region center (≤300 km)
+  - **Layer 2 (Observer-based)**: If candidate has no GPS, check if its adverts were seen by regional observers
+- **Origin/observer anchoring**: Accepts `originLat/originLon` (sender position) as forward anchor and derives observer position as backward anchor
+- **Linear scan for candidates**: Uses `allNodes.filter(startsWith)` instead of prefix index (slower but always fresh)
+
+#### 2.3.3 Inline `resolveHop()` in analytics endpoints
+
+Two analytics endpoints (`/api/analytics/topology` line 1432 and `/api/analytics/hash-issues` line 1699) define local `resolveHop()` closures that do simple prefix matching without the full forward/backward pass — they resolve hops individually without path context.
+
+### 2.4 `autoLearnHopNodes()` (server.js line 569)
+
+When packets arrive, this function checks each hop:
+- Skips 1-byte hops (too ambiguous to learn from)
+- For 2+ byte hops not already in the DB, creates a stub node record with `role: 'repeater'`
+- Uses an in-memory `hopNodeCache` Set to avoid redundant DB queries
+
+Called during:
+- MQTT packet ingestion (line 686)
+- HTTP packet submission (line 1019)
+
+### 2.5 Client-Side: `HopResolver` (public/hop-resolver.js)
+
+A client-side IIFE (`window.HopResolver`) that mirrors the server's algorithm to avoid HTTP round-trips. Key differences from server:
+
+| Aspect | Server `disambiguateHops()` | Server `/api/resolve-hops` | Client `HopResolver` |
+|--------|---------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------|
+| Prefix index | Cached on allNodes array | Linear filter | Built in `init()` |
+| Regional filtering | None | IATA geo + observer-based | IATA geo only |
+| Origin anchor | None | Yes (from query params) | Yes (from params) |
+| Observer anchor | None | Yes (derived from DB) | Yes (from params) |
+| Sanity check | unreliable + clear coords | unreliable only | unreliable flag |
+| Distance function | `geoDist()` (Euclidean) | `dist()` (Euclidean) | `dist()` (Euclidean) |
+
+**Initialization**: `HopResolver.init(nodes, { observers, iataCoords })` — builds prefix index for 1–3 byte prefixes.
+
+**Resolution**: `HopResolver.resolve(hops, originLat, originLon, observerLat, observerLon, observerId)` — runs the same 3-phase algorithm (candidates → forward → backward → sanity check).
+
+### 2.6 Client-Side: `resolveHopPositions()` in live.js (line 1562)
+
+The live feed page has its **own independent implementation** that doesn't use `HopResolver`. It:
+- Filters from `nodeData` (live feed's own node cache)
+- Uses the same forward/backward/sanity algorithm
+- Also prepends the sender as position anchor
+- Includes "ghost hop" rendering for unresolved hops
+
+### 2.7 Where Disambiguation Is Applied (All Callsites)
+
+**Server-side:**
+| File | Function/Line | What |
+|------|--------------|------|
+| server.js:498 | `disambiguateHops()` | Core algorithm |
+| server.js:569 | `autoLearnHopNodes()` | Stub node creation for 2+ byte hops |
+| server.js:1432 | inline `resolveHop()` | Analytics topology tab |
+| server.js:1699 | inline `resolveHop()` | Analytics hash-issues tab |
+| server.js:1944 | `/api/resolve-hops` | Full resolution with regional filtering |
+| server.js:2480 | paths endpoint | Path grouping |
+| server.js:2659 | topology endpoint | Topology graph |
+| server.js:2720 | subpaths endpoint | Route patterns |
+| server.js:2788 | node detail | Packet paths for a node |
+| server.js:2822 | node detail | Parent paths |
+| server-helpers.js:149 | `disambiguateHops()` | Extracted copy (used by tests) |
+
+**Client-side:**
+| File | Function | What |
+|------|---------|------|
+| hop-resolver.js | `HopResolver.resolve()` | Main client resolver |
+| packets.js:121+ | `resolveHops()` wrapper | Packets page path display |
+| packets.js:1388 | Direct `HopResolver.resolve()` | Packet detail pane with sender context |
+| live.js:1562 | `resolveHopPositions()` | Live feed path lines (independent impl) |
+| map.js:273+ | Route overlay | Map path drawing (uses server-resolved data) |
+| analytics.js | subpaths display | Renders server-resolved names |
+
+### 2.8 Consistency Analysis
+
+**Core algorithm**: All implementations use the same 3-phase approach (candidate lookup → forward pass → backward pass → sanity check). The logic is consistent.
+
+**Discrepancies found:**
+
+1. **`server.js disambiguateHops()` vs `server-helpers.js disambiguateHops()`**: These are near-identical copies. The server-helpers version is extracted for testing. Both use `geoDist()` (Euclidean approximation). No functional discrepancy.
+
+2. **`/api/resolve-hops` vs `disambiguateHops()`**: The API endpoint is significantly more capable — it has regional filtering (IATA geo + observer-based) and origin/observer anchoring. Endpoints that use `disambiguateHops()` directly (paths, topology, subpaths, node detail) **do not benefit from regional filtering**, which may produce different results for the same hops.
+
+3. **`live.js resolveHopPositions()` vs `HopResolver`**: The live feed reimplements disambiguation independently. It lacks:
+   - Regional/IATA filtering
+   - Origin/observer GPS anchoring (it does use sender position as anchor, but differently)
+   - The prefix index optimization (uses linear `Array.filter()`)
+
+4. **Inline `resolveHop()` in analytics**: These resolve hops individually without path context (no forward/backward pass). A hop ambiguous between two nodes will always get the first match rather than the geographically consistent one.
+
+5. **`disambiguateHops()` only considers nodes with coordinates** for the candidate list. Nodes without GPS are filtered out in the first pass. The `/api/resolve-hops` endpoint also returns no-GPS nodes in its candidate list and uses observer-based region filtering as fallback.
+
+### 2.9 Edge Cases
+
+| Edge Case | Behavior |
+|-----------|----------|
+| **No candidates** | Hop displayed as raw hex prefix |
+| **All candidates lack GPS** | `disambiguateHops()`: name from `prefixIdxName` (first indexed), no position. `HopResolver`: first candidate wins |
+| **Ambiguous after both passes** | First candidate in list wins (effectively random without position data) |
+| **Mixed hash sizes in same path** | Each hop is whatever length the decoder extracted. Prefix index handles variable lengths (indexed at 1, 2, 3 byte prefixes) |
+| **Self-loops in subpaths** | Same prefix appearing twice likely means a collision, not an actual loop. Analytics UI flags these with 🔄 and offers "hide collisions" checkbox |
+| **Unknown observers** | Regional filtering falls back to no filtering; all candidates considered |
+| **0,0 coordinates** | Explicitly excluded everywhere (`!(lat === 0 && lon === 0)`) |
+
+### 2.10 Visual Decollision on the Map (Different System)
+
+The **map label deconfliction** in `map.js` (`deconflictLabels()`, line 367+) is a completely different system. It handles **visual overlap** of hop labels on the Leaflet map — when two resolved hops are at nearby coordinates, their text labels would overlap. The function offsets labels to prevent visual collision using bounding-box checks.
+
+This is **not related** to hash prefix disambiguation — it operates on already-resolved, positioned hops and only affects label rendering, not which node a prefix maps to.
+
+Similarly, the map's "cluster" mode (`L.markerClusterGroup`) groups nearby node markers visually and is unrelated to hash disambiguation.

+### 2.12 Hash Size Detection
+
+Separate from disambiguation but closely related: the system tracks which hash size each node uses. `server-helpers.js` has `updateHashSizeForPacket()` and `rebuildHashSizeMap()` which extract the hash_size from the path_length byte. This feeds the analytics "hash issues" tab which detects nodes that flip-flop between hash sizes (a firmware behavior that complicates analysis).
