RED: 862d7c82 — E2E asserting (A) leaflet-map width == viewport on
mobile and (B) sticky panel header. CI URL: see Checks tab.
Fixes #1236.
## Sub-issue A — Map Controls panel scroll affordance
**Root cause:** `.map-controls` already had `max-height` + `overflow-y:
auto`, but the `<h3>` title was static — once the panel scrolled, the
title scrolled away with it and users lost the affordance that they were
inside a scroll container. No visual cue, no anchor.
**Fix:** make `.map-controls h3` `position: sticky` at the top of the
scroll container (pulled flush to the panel edges with negative margins
so it covers the corner radius cleanly), with the panel `--card-bg`
background and a `--border` bottom rule. Added `scrollbar-gutter:
stable` so the scroll indicator is consistently present.
## Sub-issue B — Map canvas offset left with right gutter
**Root cause:** `.map-side-pane` (Path Inspector) is `flex: 0 0 32px`
inside the flexbox `#map-wrap`. At every viewport width that 32px is
consumed before the leaflet canvas gets sized, leaving an unused band on
the right. Desktop has room for it; mobile (375px viewport) does not —
and Path Inspector hex-prefix entry is impractical on a phone anyway.
**Fix:** `display: none` on `.map-side-pane` at `≤640px`. Leaflet canvas
now fills 100% of the viewport.
## Verification
- E2E `test-issue-1236-map-mobile-e2e.js` covers both at 375x800 +
desktop guard at 1280x800. RED commit (`862d7c82`) failed 2/3 mobile
assertions; GREEN commit (`85efcba7`) passes 3/3.
- Map canvas width at 375x800: **343px → 375px**.
- Existing channels mobile E2E (#1224) still passes.
- Desktop (1280px): panel stays `position: absolute`, Path Inspector
pane still present.
All colors via CSS variables. No JS changes.

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.
📦 Packet Feed
Filterable real-time packet stream with byte-level breakdown, Excel-like resizable columns, and a detail pane. Toggle "My Nodes" to focus on your mesh.
🗺️ Network Overview
At-a-glance mesh stats — node counts, packet volume, observer coverage.
📊 Node Analytics
Per-node deep dive with interactive charts: activity timeline, packet type breakdown, SNR distribution, hop count analysis, peer network graph, and hourly heatmap.
💬 Channel Chat
Decoded group messages with sender names, @mentions, timestamps — like reading a Discord channel for your mesh.
📱 Mobile Ready
Full experience on your phone — proper touch controls, iOS safe area support, and a compact VCR bar.

proto/ - Accessible — ARIA patterns, keyboard navigation, screen reader support
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.
