- Updated the logic for retrieving the sender's public key in the MessageHandler class to ensure it defaults to sender_id when pubkey_prefix is not available.
- Enhanced the condition to check for sender_id presence before accessing contacts, improving robustness in public key resolution.
- Added a new migration to include a 'details' column in the 'purging_log' table for improved logging of actions.

Simplifies find_recent_rf_data so the sample it returns is always a single
wire observation — snr, rssi, raw_hex, and routing_info all belong to the
same decoded copy. The #80 fix stays intact via the two earlier invariants:
unmatched correlation_key returns None (no fallback to an unrelated recent
packet), and the no-key DM path is constrained to a narrow
rf_fallback_window.
An earlier iteration tried to enrich routing_info with the longest observed
same-packet_hash forward, but that would have left message_stats rows with
hops sourced from the matched observation while path was a different
forward's — an internal skew visible in the web viewer and !path output.
The enrichment is documented in TODO.md as a v0.9.1+ option-C follow-up
that must also sync message.hops for consistency.
Regression tests in tests/test_message_handler.py::TestFindRecentRfData
cover: return-None on unmatched key, narrow-fallback-window rejection of
stale samples, and the no-cross-wiring assertion for same-packet_hash
forwards.

- Rewrite test_subscribe_packets/messages_emits_status_ack to match the
silent subscription UX from 1ee84f2.

PR; fix two B905 zip(strict=...) lints.
- Issue #80 fix in find_recent_rf_data: return None when correlation_key is
provided but unmatched; prefer the longest observed path among samples
sharing a packet_hash; narrow the no-key fallback to a configurable
rf_fallback_window (default 2s).
- Issue #161: lower shipped max_response_hops default 10 -> 7.
- Add CHANGELOG.md, restructure BUGS.md around a ## v0.9.0 Fixed Bugs
table, prune crossed-out duplicate outstanding rows, and add a
Deferred-from-v0.9.0 triage section to TODO.md.

Added a new PendingMessageEntry TypedDict to improve the structure of pending messages. Updated type hints throughout the MessageHandler class for better clarity and consistency, including the initialization method and message processing functions. This refactor enhances code readability and maintainability without altering existing functionality. Additionally, included the new message_handler module in the pyproject.toml for better module organization.
Added asyncio timeout handling for sending startup and interval-based adverts, improving reliability by recording failures on timeout. Updated relevant tests to ensure coverage for timeout scenarios and increment failure counts appropriately. Introduced a new Radio Reliability panel in the web viewer for monitoring radio status.
Two small incompatibilities surfaced after rebasing dev-kg7qin-changes
onto upstream/dev in code introduced by #138:
- message_handler.py: replace two remaining Optional[str] annotations
with str | None; the Optional import was removed during typing
modernization but two annotations in this module were missed
- command_manager.py: restore # noqa: F401 guard on PUBLIC_CHANNEL_KEY_HEX
re-export so ruff auto-fix does not silently remove it (imported by core.py)
Do not merge until #138 is merged.
Add SSRF host validation to maintenance.py send_nightly_email and
scheduler.py send_zombie_alert_email using validate_external_url().
New allow_local_smtp config key permits private-IP SMTP for local
relay setups.

in message_handler, repeater_manager, path_command, solarforecast_command,
command_manager, and discord_bridge_service to prevent log injection.
Move nightly email logic from duplicate scheduler._send_nightly_email()
into the canonical maintenance.py implementation, removing the duplicate.
Update tests to call maintenance.send_nightly_email() directly.
Add validate_external_url allow_private parameter with support for
loopback, RFC1918, CGN, and link-local address ranges.

Before this there was no way to prevent the bot to reply to random
channel noise from a temprorary strong link to another distant mesh.
This provides the ability for users in larger meshes to cap the bot
to reply to only messages sent likely from nearby repeaters. This works
well in conjunction with region scoping.
