## Summary Closes #978 — analytics channels duplicated by encrypted/decrypted split + rainbow-table collisions. ## Root cause Two distinct bugs in `computeAnalyticsChannels` (`cmd/server/store.go`): 1. **Encrypted/decrypted split**: The grouping key included the decoded channel name (`hash + "_" + channel`), so packets from observers that could decrypt a channel created a separate bucket from packets where decryption failed. Same physical channel, two entries. 2. **Rainbow-table collisions**: Some observers' lookup tables map hash bytes to wrong channel names. E.g., hash `72` incorrectly claimed to be `#wardriving` (real hash is `129`). This created ghost 1-message entries. ## Fix 1. **Always group by hash byte alone** (drop `_channel` suffix from `chKey`). When any packet decrypts successfully, upgrade the bucket's display name from placeholder (`chN`) to the real name (first-decrypter-wins for stability). 2. **Validate channel names** against the firmware hash invariant: `SHA256(SHA256("#name")[:16])[0] == channelHash`. Mismatches are treated as encrypted (placeholder name, no trust in decoded channel). Guard is in the analytics handler (not the ingestor) to avoid breaking other surfaces that use the decoded field for display. ## Verification (e2e-fixture.db) | Metric | BEFORE | AFTER | |--------|--------|-------| | Total channels | 22 | 19 | | Duplicate hash bytes | 3 (hashes 217, 202, 17) | 0 | ## Tests added - `TestComputeAnalyticsChannels_MergesEncryptedAndDecrypted` — same hash, mixed encrypted/decrypted → ONE bucket - `TestComputeAnalyticsChannels_RejectsRainbowTableMismatch` — hash 72 claimed as `#wardriving` (real=129) → rejected, stays `ch72` - `TestChannelNameMatchesHash` — unit test for hash validation helper - `TestIsPlaceholderName` — unit test for placeholder detection Anti-tautology gate: both main tests fail when their respective fix lines are reverted.
