Fixes #2097. Every 1-byte path prefix on this network is shared. Measured on the live deployment: 254 prefixes cover all 2043 nodes, nine of them on a single prefix, and not one node has a prefix to itself. The packets page printed one of those nine as a certainty. It could already have said otherwise. `hop-resolver.js` marks such a hop `ambiguous` and returns its full candidate list; `hop-display.js` renders a warning badge with a count and a candidate popover; `renderHop(h, observerId)` reads a per-observer cache key. None of it fired, because `HopResolver.resolve()` takes six parameters and `packets.js` passed one. Without `observerId`, `packetIata` is null, `nodeInRegion()` never runs, no candidate is flagged `regional`, `globalFallback` stays false, and `hop-display.js` computes a badge count of 0. The whole chain stayed silent while the data said it was a guess. ## What this changes **Resolution carries the observer.** `resolveHops()` takes it and writes the per-observer cache key that `renderHop()` has always read and nothing ever wrote. `resolveHopsForPackets()` groups a multi-packet call by observer so each group is filtered on its own. One site was the bug in miniature: it wrote its result under `hopNameCache[k + ':' + pkt.observer_id]` after resolving without that observer, so the key promised something the value was not. **The observer's position is the anchor.** `resolve()` has always accepted `observerLat`/`observerLon` as the anchor at the receiving end: when nothing later in the path is resolved, the observer is the next known position, which is what `pickByAffinity` needs. `observerPosition()` is the single lookup, used by both resolve paths. This matters more than the IATA route, which turns out to be dead on this network. `nodeInRegion()` looks the observer's code up in `/api/iata-coords`; **0 of 42 observers have their code in that table** (`ANR BRU GNE HEP KJK LGG MST NRW OBL OST` are all missing, while its 54 entries are `AMS`, `APC`, `ATL` and the like). So the 300 km filter has never excluded anything here. 27 of 42 observers report lat/lon directly, and that works. Filed separately as #2098, since it is a network-wide lookup that resolves nothing and hop resolution may not be its only consumer. **Each badge belongs to its pill.** The badge is a sibling after the pill, so a path read `A [8] → B [6] → C` with nothing to say which name the 8 qualified. Pill and badge now render inside one `white-space: nowrap` `.hop-group`, leaving the separator outside the pair. Only a hop that carries a badge is wrapped; wrapping every hop would change the layout of every path for nothing. That markup predates this work, but these commits are what made it visible — before them the badge essentially never appeared on this page. **The list summarises, the detail pane does not.** Every 1-byte hop getting its own badge turned a table row into a line of warning triangles. `renderPath()` takes `{ summary: true }` for the three list call sites: names with no per-hop badge, and one indicator reading "N of M hops have more than one candidate". The two detail-pane sites are unchanged and keep a badge per hop, because that is where the candidates actually get read. `HopDisplay` gains `opts.badge === false` for it, and the hop keeps its `hop-ambiguous` class either way so CSS can still mark it. ## Scope Deliberately not included: chaining the next resolved hop to narrow a candidate set to one. `pickByAffinity` already scores on graph edges and would do it; it needs neighbouring context this call does not yet supply, and that belongs in its own change to `hop-resolver.js`. What is here makes the uncertainty visible and picks a defensible candidate rather than the first in index order. ## Verification 30 unit tests in `tests/unit/test-issue-2097-hop-ambiguity-badge.js`, registered in `test-all.sh`. Full frontend suite exits 0. Four of them are structural guards over `packets.js`, and each was mutation-checked by reverting the change it protects: - no `HopResolver.resolve()` call passes the hops alone - no call passes an observer id and drops its position - one helper does the observer lookup - the detail pane calls `renderPath` without `summary` The behavioural test for the anchor runs with `iataCoords` deliberately empty, which is the live state, and lists the distant candidate first: without an anchor the resolver keeps candidate order and picks it, with one it does not, and the hop stays reported as ambiguous with all candidates listed. **Browser validated** on a staging deployment of this branch, against live data: | | list | detail pane | |---|---|---| | per-hop badges | 0 | 24 | | path indicators | 1 | 0 | | badges outside a `.hop-group` | — | 0 | On the packet that prompted the issue, the first hop now resolves to a repeater 10.6 km from the transmitter instead of one 126 km away, and the second hop resolves to the only candidate that has a recorded neighbour edge matching the next hop in the path. ## Note for reviewers The last commit exists because staging disagreed with the tests. After the anchor landed, the detail pane still picked the distant candidate: it resolves through its own `HopResolver.resolve` call, which had the observer id but a null position. The guard that now fails on exactly that shape is what would have caught it before the deploy. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
