Fixes #1268. Frequency, spreading factor, bandwidth and coding rate are per-device settings that never travel in a packet. The public MeshCore map is the only source. This PR adds them to the node detail views, opt-in, and answers the open policy questions from the triage comments. ## Policy decisions | Question (triage) | Answer in this PR | |---|---| | Opt-out for self-hosted instances | Opt-**in**: `rfParams.nodesUrl` empty (default) = nothing fetched, `/api/rf-params` returns `enabled: false`. Same model as `knownChannelsUrl`. | | 33 MB every 6 h, thundering herd | Random 0-60 s delay before the first fetch, then every `refreshHours` (default 6). The map sends gzip (17 MB on the wire). It sends no ETag or Last-Modified, so conditional requests are not possible. | | Size cap | 128 MB on the decoded body (it is 51.5 MB today). Exceeding it fails the fetch instead of parsing a truncated body. | | Field shapes at the parse boundary | 64-hex key; 100-1100 MHz; SF 5-12; bandwidth from the LoRa set (7.8 to 500 kHz); CR 5-8. Invalid rows are dropped. A body that is not a well-formed array fails the fetch. | | Keep stale cache on anomaly | Any failure keeps the previous snapshot; a failed presets fetch keeps the previous presets. `fetched_at` is returned so an outage is visible rather than hidden. | | Freshness | Only adverts within `maxAgeDays` (default 7) are kept at fetch time and re-checked at serve time. | | TLS pinning | Not done: Go's certificate validation plus the field validation above. | ## What changes - `cmd/server/rf_params_cache.go`: stream decoder, validation, cap reader, preset parser (presets with identical values are merged, titles joined), background refresh. In memory only, no DB writes, so the read-only server invariant holds. - `GET /api/rf-params`: `{enabled, fetched_at, source, presets, nodes}`; `nodes` holds only nodes this instance knows, keyed by lower-case pubkey. `/api/nodes` is unchanged, so its payload does not grow for every consumer and the 500-row paging is unaffected. - Node detail (side panel and full page): `LoRa` row with the four values, the preset name when all four match one, and the age of the map advert. Shown only when the feature is on and the server has fetched the map at least once. - No column in the Nodes table, on purpose: on our network such a column showed one preset title in 814 of 1,366 rows and nothing in 443. Showing only the nodes that differ from their region is the follow-up PR. - `config.example.json` documents the block with the two URLs to use. ## Cost - Measured on the real map payload (51.5 MB, 66,336 nodes): parse 0.52 s, 15 MB allocated in total, 26,815 nodes kept (advert within 7 days). Runs in a background goroutine every 6 h. - The endpoint walks the cached node list once with map lookups: O(nodes). - Frontend: one bulk fetch of `/api/rf-params` when a node detail opens (client TTL 5 min), not one per node. ## Tests - Go (`rf_params_cache_test.go`): parse with every rejection reason, malformed bodies (not an array, truncated, wrong type, empty), preset merge and invalid presets, cap reader (one byte over refused, exactly at the cap accepted), fail-soft against an `httptest` upstream (503, HTML body, presets-only failure), config defaults, route (disabled shape, only known nodes, entry aged past max age dropped at serve time). Full `cmd/server` suite passes locally (skipping `TestSaveGeoFilterPreservesFileMode`, a Windows-only failure on clean master). - Frontend unit: `tests/unit/test-issue-1268-rf-params.js` (7 assertions on the real file in `vm`), in `test-all.sh`; the full suite passes. - E2E: `tests/e2e/test-issue-1268-rf-params-e2e.js` (registered in `deploy.yml` and `scripts/non-unit-tests.json`). It checks the real disabled state on the fixture server (no detail row), then serves `/api/rf-params` through `page.route`: no table column, full detail page with preset, side panel with raw values, and the hint for a node that is not on the map. 4/4 locally, plus the existing node table and node detail E2E files. ## Validation On a staging instance with `rfParams` set to the map and preset URLs: - Log: `[rf-params] 26821 nodes within max age, 20 presets`, about 6 s after start. - `/api/rf-params` returned 1,115 of our nodes: 988 on 869.618/SF8/BW62.5/CR8, 111 on the same with CR5, 15 on 433.65 MHz, 1 on SF7. - In the browser the detail row shows in the side panel and on the full page, and the Nodes table keeps its original columns. ## Not done - Highlighting nodes whose settings differ from their region's majority (a badge in the Nodes list plus a filter) is the follow-up (separate PR). In that follow-up a CR-only difference stays informational until it is confirmed whether MeshCore radios use the explicit LoRa header (then CR travels in the header and a mismatch still decodes). - `maxAgeDays` is config-only; the customizer is a later step. - No data is written to the DB, so the RF parameters are gone after a restart until the next fetch (at most 60 s plus the fetch time). --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
