revert: aggressive coverage interactions dropped score from 42% to 39%

The page.evaluate() calls corrupting localStorage and firing fake events
caused page error-reloads, losing accumulated coverage. Reverting to
the 42% version which was the actual high water mark.

+# 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
+
+## 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
+

+### 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
 
-## v2.1.1 — Multi-Broker MQTT & Observer Detail (2026-03-20)
+## [2.5.0] "Digital Rain" — 2026-03-22
 
-### 🆕 New Features
+### ✨ 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
 
-- **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.
+### ✨ 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
 
-- **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.
+### ⚡ 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`).
 
-### 🏗️ Infrastructure
+## [2.4.1] — 2026-03-22
 
-- **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.
+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)

+### 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)

+- Header row shows matching observer when observer filter is active
+
+### Removed
+- Legacy `packets` and `paths` database tables (auto-migrated on startup)

+
+### Fixed
+- Header row showed longest path instead of first observer's path

+- Auto-seeding fake data on empty DB (now requires `--seed` flag)
+- Channel "10h ago" bug (used stale `first_seen` instead of current time)
+- Stale UI: wrong ID type for packet lookup after insert
+- ADVERT timestamp validation rejecting valid nodes
+- Channels page API spam on every WS update
+- Duplicate observations in expanded view
+- Analytics RF 500 error (stack overflow with 193K observations)
+- Region filter SQL using non-existent column

+
+## [2.3.0] - 2026-03-20
+
+### Added
+- **Packet Deduplication**: Normalized storage with `transmissions` and `observations` tables — packets seen by multiple observers are stored once with linked observation records
+- **Observation count badges**: Packets page shows 👁 badge indicating how many observers saw each transmission
+- **`?expand=observations`**: API query param to include full observation details on packet responses
+- **`totalTransmissions` / `totalObservations`**: Health and analytics APIs return both deduped and raw counts
+- **Migration script**: `scripts/migrate-dedup.js` for converting existing packet data to normalized schema
+- **Live map deeplinks**: Node detail panel links to full node detail, observer detail, and filtered packets
+- **CI validation**: `setup-node` added to deploy workflow for JS syntax checking
+
+### Changed
+- In-memory packet store restructured around transmissions (primary) with observation indexes
+- Packets API returns unique transmissions by default (was returning inflated observation rows)
+- Home page shows "Transmissions" instead of "Packets" for network stats
+- Analytics overview uses transmission counts for throughput metrics
+- Node health stats include `totalTransmissions` alongside legacy `totalPackets`
+- WebSocket broadcasts include `observation_count`
+
+### Fixed
+- Packet expand showing only the collapsed row instead of individual observations
+- Live page "Heard By" showing "undefined pkts" (wrong field name)
+- Recent packets deeplink using query param instead of route path
+- Migration script handling concurrent dual-write during live deployment
+
+### Performance
+- **8.19× dedup ratio on production** (117K observations → 14K transmissions)
+- RAM usage reduced proportionally — store loads transmissions, not inflated observations

+# 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)
+
+```json
+{
+  "branding": {
+    "siteName": "CascadiaMesh Analyzer",

+  "labels": {
+    "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? |
+|-----------|---------------|------------|--------------------------|
+| 1. Schema Migration | db.js, new script | Low | Yes — additive only |
+| 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 |
+| 4. API Changes | server.js, db.js | Medium | No — must deploy with M5 |
+| 5. Frontend | 8+ public/*.js files | Medium | No — must deploy with M4 |
+| 6. Cleanup | db.js, server.js | Low | Yes — after bake period |
+
+**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?

+# 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.

+## 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.
