Rebase of #1881 by @SaarMesh-Bot onto current master. Their three commits are preserved, two of them cherry-picked with authorship intact; the sweep itself had to be regenerated. Opened as a new PR rather than force-pushing their branch. Closes #1881 once merged. Addresses parts 1 and 3 of #1859; part 2 landed as #1937. ## Why regenerated rather than merged The sweep in #1881 was cut on 2026-09-02 07:13 and roughly forty PRs landed after it, so it went `CONFLICTING/DIRTY`. Re-running `gofmt` on current master is cheaper and less error-prone than resolving 72 conflicts that are all whitespace. The drift it fixes also grew in the meantime: 66 files now, against 72 then, but spread differently. ## The three commits 1. **`style(#1859)`** — `gofmt -w` across the 14 modules. 66 files. 2. **`test(#1859)`** — @SaarMesh-Bot's fix for the one `go vet` copylocks finding, `cmd/ingestor/coverage_boost_test.go`: the range variable copied a `Config` embedding `sync.Once`. Cherry-picked unchanged. 3. **`ci(#1859)`** — @SaarMesh-Bot's CI step that fails on gofmt drift or vet findings, plus `.git-blame-ignore-revs`. Cherry-picked with one change, noted in the commit message: the ignore file pointed at `04bc80ee`, the sweep commit on their branch, which does not exist on this base and would make `git blame --ignore-revs-file` error. Repointed at `d3a02599`, the sweep here. ## Verification The claim "formatting only" is checked twice rather than asserted: - Every changed file is byte-identical to `gofmt(previous content)`. 0 of 66 deviate. - With line comments and all whitespace stripped, 0 of 66 files differ, so no code outside comments changed. 14 of the 66 also show doc-comment reflow. Since Go 1.19 `gofmt` re-indents indented comment blocks to tabs and inserts a blank comment line before them; the behavior matrix above `resolveHopWithContext` in `cmd/ingestor/path_resolver.go` is a clear example. That is gofmt's own output, not an edit, but it is worth naming because it makes the diff look larger than "whitespace" suggests. The gate was run locally exactly as the workflow runs it: `gofmt` clean, and `go vet` clean in all 14 modules, including `cmd/ingestor` which is what commit 2 fixes. Suites: `cmd/server` ok (80.7s), `internal/packetpath` ok (2.3s), `cmd/ingestor` passes except `TestWriteStatsAtomic_SymlinkAtDestIsReplaced`, which fails identically on bare master with "A required privilege is not held by the client" (Windows symlink privilege on my host, not code). ## Sequencing This should go last in the queue. The sweep touches 66 files, so merging it before the remaining open Go PRs gives each of them a conflict about nothing but formatting. After it lands the gate is active, and any PR with drift fails CI until it runs `gofmt -w`. Excluded from the sweep: the misnamed `Dockerfile.go`, which is a Dockerfile that gofmt cannot parse (the workflow excludes it too), and `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md`, which a case-insensitive filesystem surfaces as a spurious modification against `docs/deployment.md` and is unrelated. --------- Co-authored-by: SaarMesh-Bot <300107934+SaarMesh-Bot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.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 |
| GOMEMLIMIT (memory-constrained hosts) | set to ≥1.5× working set (e.g. 1536 MiB on a 2 GB Pi for a ~1 GB store). Lower values trigger a GC death-spiral. Configure via the GOMEMLIMIT env var or runtime.maxMemoryMB in config.json; env wins. Applies to both server and ingestor. See #1010. |
See PERFORMANCE.md for full benchmarks.

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.
