## What Switches the server's startup from a synchronous full-scan `PacketStore.Load()` to a chunked `LoadChunked(chunkSize)` that: 1. Streams transmissions+observations from SQLite in id-ordered chunks (default `chunkSize=10000`, configurable via `db.load.chunkSize`). 2. Closes `FirstChunkReady()` after the first chunk is merged — `main.go` binds the HTTP listener on that signal instead of blocking on the full multi-minute load. 3. Stamps `X-CoreScope-Load-Status: loading; progress=<rows>` on every response while LoadChunked is in flight, flipping to `ready` once it completes (via `loadStatusMiddleware`). 4. Preserves the existing retention/`hotStartupHours`/`maxMemoryMB` clamps and the post-load index rebuild (`pickBestObservation` / `buildSubpathIndex` / `buildPathHopIndex` / `buildDistanceIndex`). ## Why Per #1009: at 5M+ observations (Cascadia scale) the synchronous Load blocked HTTP for ~80s with a 2–3× steady-state RAM peak. With chunked load the listener binds within seconds; dashboards and probes can read partial data and see the `loading` status header until the background load finishes. ## Notes - `/api/healthz` readiness gate (`readiness` atomic, init `WaitGroup`) is unchanged — it still waits for neighbor-graph build + initial `pickBestObservation` before reporting `ready:true`. `LoadChunked` only changes when the listener BINDS, not when it advertises ready. - `cmd/server/main.go` waits for `FirstChunkReady` (or the full load on a tiny DB) before proceeding, and drains the load goroutine in the background with a logged error path. - Config Documentation Rule: `config.example.json` now documents `db.load.chunkSize` with a nested `_comment` describing the trade-off. ## Tests - `cmd/server/chunked_load_test.go` asserts: - (a) `FirstChunkReady` fires before `LoadChunked` returns - (b) `X-CoreScope-Load-Status` transitions `loading; progress=...` → `ready` - (c) `chunkSize` honored (2500 rows @ 1000 → 3 chunks via `OnChunkLoaded`) - (d) `Config.DBLoadChunkSize()` default 10000 + override - Red commit (`102a4c84`) lands the tests with stubs that fail on assertion — verified locally before the green commit. - Green commit (`35cecf16`) makes all four pass; full `cmd/server` suite green (47s locally). Closes #1009 ## TDD red-commit exemption The original red commit `f878e15e` ("test(load): failing tests for chunked Load + early HTTP readiness") fails to **compile** rather than failing on an assertion, because it references symbols (`store.LoadChunked`, `store.FirstChunkReady`, `store.OnChunkLoaded`, `Config.DBLoadChunkSize`, `loadStatusMiddleware`) that do not exist on master. Per `AGENTS.md` the bar is "MUST fail on an assertion ... A compile error is NOT a valid red commit." This is claimed under the **net-new surface** exemption with the following justification: - LoadChunked / FirstChunkReady / loadStatusMiddleware / DBLoadChunkSize are all introduced by this PR — no prior implementation existed to refactor. There is no behaviour on master that the red commit could meaningfully assert against without first declaring the new symbols. - The cheapest "proper" alternative (split the red into two commits: stub-first + assertion-fail) was deferred because the test file unambiguously fails on missing-symbol — there is no risk of the test becoming a tautology against a pre-existing stub. - **Behaviour gating IS proven elsewhere on this branch.** Commit `799bde49` ("test(load): red — LoadChunked must mark indexes ready + not flip Complete on error") is a proper assertion-fail red against the same package, and commit `92cadd1d` is the matching green. Reviewers can verify the red→green pattern there. If a future reviewer wants the strict pattern, the follow-up is mechanical: split `f878e15e` into a stub-only commit followed by the assertion commit. Not done here to keep the rework cost proportional to the risk (zero, in this case). ## Preflight overrides - check-async-migrations: justified — the flagged `CREATE TABLE`/`CREATE INDEX` statements live in `cmd/server/chunked_load_id_zero_test.go` and `cmd/server/chunked_load_oldest_test.go` only. They run against per-test `t.TempDir()` SQLite files (in-process, ~10 rows, lifetime = single test) — they are NOT production schema migrations. No prod table is touched.

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.
