Added an `is_enabled` method to the BaseCommand class to determine if commands are enabled based on configuration. Updated CmdCommand and HelpCommand to skip disabled commands when listing available commands. Updated tests to verify that disabled commands are omitted from command lists.
Reworked implementation of the multilingual-response feature (issue #218)
as a reusable, framework-level capability instead of logic bolted onto
HelloCommand.
- modules/lang_detector.py: keyword-first detection (reliable for the short
greetings typical on mesh) with optional langdetect for longer text;
results are constrained to languages that actually have a translation file.
- core.py: cache Translator instances by language (get_translator) so
per-message switching never re-reads files, and expose available_languages()
derived from translations/*.json. Store translation_path; keep cache/path
consistent on config reload.
- base_command.py: task-local translator override via a ContextVar (safe under
asyncio concurrency, no global mutation), plus detect_response_language() and
a respond_in_sender_language() context manager any command can opt into.
- hello_command.py: build the reply inside respond_in_sender_language(); the
only awaited call (send_response) stays outside the override window.
- Gated by [Localization] auto_detect_language (default false); langdetect is
an optional [lang] extra, not a hard dependency.
Tests: unit coverage for the detector and the base-command wiring.
The legacy [Section] enabled alias map (e.g. [Jokes] joke_enabled,
[Stats] stats_enabled) was duplicated in BaseCommand.get_config_value and
modules/settings_schema.py, so runtime behavior and the web settings UI
could drift apart. Both now read config_schema.LEGACY_ENABLED_ALIASES.
- Updated `config.ini.example` to support single, multiple, and decorative command prefixes, improving flexibility in command invocation.
- Refactored `CommandManager` and `BaseCommand` to utilize new command prefix parsing logic, allowing for better handling of multiple prefixes and optional bare commands.
- Enhanced documentation to clarify command prefix configuration options and behavior, ensuring users understand how to set and use prefixes effectively.
- Added unit tests to verify the correct functionality of command prefix handling, including support for permissive and strict prefix modes.
- Updated configuration examples to include new `{hops}` and `{hops_label}` placeholders for path command replies, enhancing response detail.
- Modified `BaseCommand` to support hop count retrieval and formatting, ensuring accurate display of hop information in responses.
- Enhanced unit tests to verify correct formatting of hop-related placeholders in response messages, improving overall command functionality.
- Enhanced `CommandManager` to persist normalized message content, preventing prefix stripping from interfering with command matching.
- Updated `BaseCommand` to skip prefix handling if already normalized, ensuring all commands can be matched correctly.
- Modified `HelpCommand` to ensure unused commands are listed even when command statistics are present, improving user accessibility to all commands.
- Added unit tests to verify the correct behavior of command matching and help command functionality under various scenarios.
Route process_message keyword/RandomLine sends through send_response so
reply_scope reaches set_flood_scope; add optional command_id to
send_response for transmission tracking.
- Added configuration options to specify minimum path byte length requirements for the path, test, and multitest commands.
- Introduced methods to enforce these requirements and handle failure responses.
- Updated the packet capture service to correctly calculate packet hashes using the raw wire byte length.
- Enhanced unit tests to verify the correct behavior of the new path byte length logic.
- Updated `config.ini.example` to introduce the `respond_to_mentions` setting, allowing configuration of how the bot responds to mentions in channel messages.
- Refactored `MessageHandler` to implement logic for handling mentions based on the new configuration, including stripping mentions when appropriate.
- Added `cleanup_message_for_matching` method in `BaseCommand` to streamline message processing and mention validation.
- Enhanced various command classes to utilize the new cleanup method for consistent mention handling.
- Introduced tests to validate the behavior of the new mention handling logic across different configurations.
Match firmware TC_FLOOD scope overhead in get_max_message_length via
MeshMessage.effective_outgoing_flood_scope; keep CommandManager and
BaseCommand in sync with tests.
Made-with: Cursor
Use UTF-8 byte length instead of character count or display width for message
truncation. This fixes an issue where emoji characters like 😀 (4 UTF-8 bytes,
1 character, 2 display units) caused messages to exceed the RF packet size.
Changes:
- Replace _count_display_width with byte-based length calculation
- Add _count_byte_length and _truncate_to_byte_length helper methods
- Update get_max_message_length to use 127 bytes (channel limit) not 150
- Add type hints to new methods
- Updated configuration examples to remove command prefix from aliases in `config.ini.example` and documentation.
- Enhanced `CommandManager` to normalize command names and resolve aliases through both direct mapping and plugin keyword mappings.
- Introduced a method in `BaseCommand` to normalize aliases from configuration, ensuring consistency in keyword handling.
- Added tests to verify that aliases resolve correctly from both keyword mappings and runtime keywords without legacy prefixes.
Each command's aliases are now configured as an `aliases` key in its own
config section (e.g. [Wx_Command] aliases = !weather, !w) rather than a
separate [Aliases] section. BaseCommand._load_aliases_from_config() reads
and injects them into keywords at startup. CommandManager.load_aliases()
and _apply_aliases() are removed. No behaviour change for commands without
aliases configured.

Security Improvements:
- Add DNS timeout (2.0s default) to validate_external_url() to prevent DoS
attacks from malicious URLs causing DNS resolution to hang
- Make path validation OS-aware: supports Windows, macOS (Darwin), and Linux
with platform-specific dangerous path detection
- Add validation for negative max_length values in sanitize_input()
Code Quality Improvements:
- Extract bot_root property in MeshCoreBot class to eliminate code duplication
(was calculated twice in __init__ and setup_logging)
- Use explicit bot_root directory instead of '.' for predictable path validation
in both database and log file path validation
- Make sanitize_input() max_length parameter Optional to allow disabling length
check for radio messages (firmware enforces 150-char limit at hardware level)
- Update message_handler.py to use max_length=None for radio messages while
preserving control character stripping for security
- Replace inline regex with centralized validate_pubkey_format() function in
base_command.py for consistency and maintainability
- Improve documentation: add comments about socket timeout behavior and
firmware-enforced message length limits
All improvements have been tested and verified:
- Syntax checks pass
- All functions work correctly
- No circular dependencies
- Bot initializes successfully with all attributes present
