RED commit: `1cd25f7b` — CI (failing on assertion): https://github.com/Kpa-clawbot/CoreScope/actions?query=sha%3A1cd25f7b1bdd0091f689dd64ce1bfec6d031191f Fixes #1212 ## Root cause NOT that `AutoReconnect` was off — it was set; `MaxReconnectInterval=30s` was set (PR #949); a `SetReconnectingHandler` was wired. The defect was an **observability gap**: `SetReconnectingHandler` fires only INSIDE paho's reconnect goroutine. If that goroutine never iterates (status race after the recovered handler panic at 21:07:13, or an internal abort), operators see ONLY the `disconnected: pingresp not received` line and then total silence. They cannot distinguish "paho is patiently retrying" from "paho gave up and the goroutine is gone." That ambiguity is what turned a 30s blip into 6h of downtime. ## Changes ### `cmd/ingestor/main.go` — `SetConnectionAttemptHandler` Fires on every TCP/TLS dial — the initial `Connect()` AND every reconnect — independent of paho's internal reconnect-loop state. Logs: ``` MQTT [staging] connection attempt #1 to tcp://broker:1883 MQTT [staging] connection attempt #2 to tcp://broker:1883 ``` Per-source attempt counter via `atomic.AddInt64`. ### `cmd/ingestor/mqtt_watchdog.go` (new) — per-source stall watchdog Satisfies the watchdog acceptance criterion. Even when paho reports `connected`, if no MQTT messages have flowed for >5m, log a WARN line every 60s: ``` MQTT [staging] WATCHDOG: client reports connected to tcp://broker:1883 but no messages received for 7m30s (threshold 5m) — possible half-open socket or upstream stall ``` Catches half-open TCP and broker-accepted-but-not-forwarding scenarios that look "connected" to paho. Hot-path cost: one `atomic.StoreInt64` per inbound message. Watchdog scans the registry once a minute. ### Tests (`cmd/ingestor/mqtt_reconnect_test.go`, new) - `TestBuildMQTTOpts_InstrumentsConnectionAttempt` — asserts `OnConnectAttempt` is wired in `buildMQTTOpts`. - `TestMQTTStallWatchdog_FiresOnSilentSource` — connected + 10m silent + 5m threshold → stall flagged. - `TestMQTTStallWatchdog_QuietWhenRecent` — recent message → no stall. - `TestMQTTStallWatchdog_QuietWhenDisconnected` — disconnected → no stall (paho's reconnect logging covers it). ## TDD - RED `1cd25f7b` — 2 assertion failures (compile OK, stub returns no-stall, `OnConnectAttempt` nil). - GREEN `2527be6f` — implementation; all ingestor tests pass. ## Out of scope - Slice-bounds decode panic (#1211, separate PR). - A full in-process MQTT broker integration test would require a new dep (mochi-mqtt) — the observability and watchdog behaviors are independently verifiable by the unit tests above, and the reconnect path itself is paho's responsibility (we already test it's configured via `mqtt_opts_test.go`). --------- Co-authored-by: bot <bot@example.com> Co-authored-by: OpenClaw Bot <bot@openclaw.local> Co-authored-by: corescope-bot <bot@corescope.local> Co-authored-by: openclaw-bot <openclaw-bot@users.noreply.github.com>
CoreScope
High-performance mesh network analyzer powered by Go. Sub-millisecond packet queries, ~300 MB memory for 56K+ packets, real-time WebSocket broadcast, full channel decryption.
Self-hosted, open-source MeshCore packet analyzer. Collects MeshCore packets via MQTT, decodes them in real time, and presents a full web UI with live packet feed, interactive maps, channel chat, packet tracing, and per-node analytics.
⚡ Performance
The Go backend serves all 40+ API endpoints from an in-memory packet store with 5 indexes (hash, txID, obsID, observer, node). SQLite is for persistence only — reads never touch disk.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Packet queries | < 1 ms (in-memory) |
| All API endpoints | < 100 ms |
| Memory (56K packets) | ~300 MB (vs 1.3 GB on Node.js) |
| WebSocket broadcast | Real-time to all connected browsers |
| Channel decryption | AES-128-ECB with rainbow table |
See PERFORMANCE.md for full benchmarks.
✨ Features
📡 Live Trace Map
Real-time animated map with packet route visualization, VCR-style playback controls, and a retro LCD clock. Replay the last 24 hours of mesh activity, scrub through the timeline, or watch packets flow live at up to 4× speed.

Quick Start
Pre-built Image (Recommended)
No build step required — just run:
docker run -d --name corescope \
--restart=unless-stopped \
-p 80:80 -p 1883:1883 \
-v /your/data:/app/data \
ghcr.io/kpa-clawbot/corescope:latest
Open http://localhost — done. No config file needed; CoreScope starts with sensible defaults.
For HTTPS with a custom domain, add -p 443:443 and mount your Caddyfile:
docker run -d --name corescope \
--restart=unless-stopped \
-p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 1883:1883 \
-v /your/data:/app/data \
-v /your/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile:ro \
-v /your/caddy-data:/data/caddy \
ghcr.io/kpa-clawbot/corescope:latest
Disable built-in services with -e DISABLE_MOSQUITTO=true or -e DISABLE_CADDY=true, or drop a .env file in your data volume. See docs/deployment.md for the full reference.

Browser
Two-process model: The Go ingestor handles MQTT ingestion and packet decoding. The Go HTTP server loads all packets into an in-memory store on startup (5 indexes for fast lookups) and serves the REST API + WebSocket broadcast. Both are managed by supervisord inside a single container with Caddy for HTTPS and Mosquitto for local MQTT.
MQTT Setup
- Flash an observer node with
MESH_PACKET_LOGGING=1build flag - Connect via USB to a host running meshcoretomqtt
- Configure meshcoretomqtt with your IATA region code and MQTT broker address
- Packets appear on topic
meshcore/{IATA}/{PUBKEY}/packets
Or POST raw hex packets to POST /api/packets for manual injection.
