> **Stacked on #1905.** This branch contains #1905's commits; review and merge that one first. The diff unique to this PR is the `client_rf_samples` table, its handler, the delta query and its retention. ## What Everything CoreDrive RX records today is anchored to a *packet*. But a drive also passes through RF conditions that exist whether or not a packet arrives: the noise floor, how busy the channel is, how many receptions fail CRC. The radio measures all three and was never asked. This samples the companion's own counters along the GPS track and stores them, so the server can render a noise-floor map, a channel-utilisation map and a CRC-error-rate map. A fixed observer cannot produce those — it measures one point forever. **Zero airtime:** `CMD_GET_STATS` is a local Bluetooth query to the attached radio. Nothing is transmitted. ## Design points worth knowing - **Absolutes are stored; deltas are derived at query time.** A lost or reordered sample then costs one interval rather than corrupting a running total. `ClientRfDeltas` breaks the chain whenever `uptime_secs` fails to increase — that is the reboot and counter-wrap detector. - **Absent is not zero, end to end.** Firmware predating the `recv_errors` field cannot count CRC errors at all, and a stored `0` would read downstream as "a perfectly clean channel" — the opposite of "we don't know". Presence/absence is preserved through the app parser, the wire payload, a nullable column, and the delta view, which returns `nil` rather than `0` when either endpoint is unknown. Each of those five layers has its own test. - **`sampled_at` is millisecond precision, and it is load-bearing.** SQLite compares these strings lexicographically and `.` (0x2E) sorts before `Z` (0x5A), so a second-resolution retention cutoff would delete rows *inside* the window. The prune formats its cutoff with the same layout. ## Performance justification (touches the ingest hot path) - One INSERT per sample, gated behind an opt-in flag that defaults off. Sample rate is 15 s while moving and 5 min while parked, so roughly 240 rows per hour per active driver. - The delta query is a single `LAG(...) OVER` pass with no nested query inside the loop, so it cannot deadlock the single writer connection. Window functions are already used elsewhere in this codebase. - Retention has its own key and index (`sampled_at`); without it the table would grow unbounded, so `config.example.json` documents it inline. ## Safety for existing deployments Opt-in and default off on both sides (`clientRfSamples.enabled`, and `rfSampler` in the app). The coverage path is untouched — `Publisher.buildPayload` is byte-identical and a record with no `kind` field still routes to `/packets` unchanged. The MQTT dispatch was reshaped so that **anything on `meshcore/client/…` returns from that branch in every config state**, with the enable-gates inside rather than in the topic match. Previously a disabled gate let the message fall through to the observer path, where `parts[1]` — the literal string `client` — was read as a region and the phone's pubkey registered as an observer. The blacklist check now also runs ahead of the sub-topic switch, so it covers every present and future client sub-topic. ## Testing Full ingestor suite green. Notable coverage: a `/rf` message with the gate off writes nothing anywhere and does not fall through; a sample missing `uptime_secs` is rejected rather than stored as an unusable row; two samples 40 ms apart remain two rows; and the retention test seeds a row with a non-zero millisecond component inside the cutoff second, which is the only row that distinguishes a correct cutoff from an RFC3339 one. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
