// Package main: direct-RF attribution for the node-health "Heard By" card.
//
// An observer "heard" a node when it received that node's own transmission
// off the air. That is a narrower relation than "saw a packet this node was
// involved in", which is what the node-health card reported before this
// file existed, and it is the only one for which the SNR and RSSI printed
// next to an observer belong to the node the row names.
//
// The rule follows the firmware:
//
//   - Flood routes build the path up as they travel: a forwarding repeater
//     appends its own hash before retransmitting (Mesh.cpp:349). The last
//     hop is therefore the node whose transmission the observer received.
//   - Direct routes carry the REMAINING route, not the travelled one. A
//     forwarder matches itself against the head of the path and calls
//     removeSelfFromPath (Mesh.cpp:89,103) before retransmitting, so the
//     node the observer heard is not in the path at all. Direct routes
//     therefore never attribute.
//   - An empty flood path means the observer received the originator's own
//     transmission. Only ADVERTs carry the originator's pubkey in the
//     clear, so other payload types with an empty path attribute to nobody.
//   - A hop prefix that matches more than one node attributes to nobody.
//     Path hop sizes are chosen by the originator (Packet.h:83,
//     Mesh.cpp:649) and default to one byte, so a hop often matches many
//     candidates. resolveWithContext guesses in that case; this file does
//     not. The gate matches resolvePathForObsColdLoad: under-attribute
//     rather than credit the wrong node.
