S6. The sender's latest position (airplanes, path, test) and the repeater-or-room-server lookup by name (prefix, solarforecast) were each pasted into the commands, alongside location.py's own copies for get_companion_lat_lon and lookup_repeater_lat_lon. They now run through location.latest_contact_position_rows and location.repeater_by_name_rows. The copies differed only in how they drop a zero coordinate, so that is a zero_rule parameter: "both" (location.py's helpers: drop only 0,0) or "either" (the commands: drop a fix with either coordinate zero), and each caller passes the rule it had. Each command keeps its private wrapper, its pubkey access, try/except, log text and value conversion; airplanes' _get_bot_location now calls get_bot_lat_lon, which is the same code.
I did not move the commands onto resolve_location: its labels and geocoding rules differ from what each command does today. Old-vs-new over 20,000 randomized cases against a real SQLite table (zero coordinates, ties, near-duplicate names, missing pubkeys, database errors, no db_manager) matched on results and log calls for all eight functions; four mutations were each caught.
A space bunny review (about 110,000 old-versus-new cases, two differences found) noted that the shared companion lookup returned silently when the bot had no db_manager, where dev's aurora and rain logged the AttributeError at DEBUG (and wx and gwx at WARNING). The guard is gone, so all four log it again. Unreachable in production, since the bot does not start without a database.
The codex review of this port also found that the shared companion lookup dropped the three DEBUG lines wx and gwx logged on dev (no sender key, no row for the key, the position found). get_companion_lat_lon takes a trace flag that wx and gwx pass; rain and aurora, which never logged these, stay quiet. With trace, a bot without a db_manager logs the lookup error at the caller's level again instead of returning silently.
gwx with no location reverse-geocoded the companion's (or bot's) coordinates to a town name and then forecast that name: three Nominatim lookups, and a forecast for wherever the geocoder put the town rather than for the sender. It now passes the coordinates through, as wx does; the reply's label still comes from the one reverse lookup in geocode_location. Both commands write those coordinates in fixed decimals (`_coordinates_query`), since str() of a small float gives "1e-05", which the coordinate pattern does not match. The companion and repeater position queries in modules.location skipped any zero latitude or longitude; only 0,0 is the no-position sentinel, so they now exclude just that. wx's city lookup used truthiness and rejected a geocoded zero coordinate.
This brings the weather slices of my long-running refactor branch to dev ahead of converging wx and gwx, so the convergence PRs build on one copy of the code instead of rewriting it twice.
- `modules/weather_common.py` (WeatherCommandMixin): code wx and gwx shared by copy (MQTT and WXSIM source lookup, multi-day sending, high/low formatting, the forecast-option parser, the Open-Meteo model loader).
- `modules/nws_alerts.py`: one NWS alert entry parser for wx and the weather service, keeping each caller's own Special Weather Statement rules.
- `modules/http_retry.py`: one retrying session builder for the weather HTTP clients.
- wx: get_noaa_weather, the hourly, tomorrow and multi-day formatters, _add_period_details and the extract_* readers broken up or made table-driven; NOAA fetches go through `_noaa_fetch`.
- gwx: one fetch path; `_open_meteo_current` and `_open_meteo_daily_tail` split out of get_open_meteo_weather.
- solarforecast: `_format_forecast` built from one timestamp parser and one day builder (418 → 155 lines).
- aurora, rain, wx, gwx: companion and bot location lookups through `modules.location` (which gains optional logging arguments).
The changes outside these files that the refactor branch made (the base command's enabled_attr hook, the service base's run_periodic and _cancel_tasks) stay out: aurora and rain keep their can_execute overrides and the weather service its own loops, exactly as on dev.
Tests: characterization goldens over real captured NOAA, NWS, Open-Meteo and forecast.solar responses (tests/characterization, fixtures in tests/fixtures), 50 tests and several hundred cases, all of which also pass against dev's unmodified weather code. Each refactor step was additionally checked on the branch with an old-vs-new differential run (tens of thousands of generated inputs, including log calls and exceptions) and reviewed by codex.
- Added a tracked `LICENSE` file and updated `pyproject.toml` to include license metadata.
- Enhanced `CHANGELOG.md` with recent changes and clarifications.
- Updated `config.ini.example` and related documentation to reflect clamping behavior for numeric limits in `[Feed_Manager]`.
- Improved startup validation to suggest corrections for unknown and misspelled keys.
- Refactored geocoding and HTTP request handling to run off-thread, preventing event loop stalls.
- Added thread safety to cache management in geocoding functions to avoid race conditions.
Finish the lint/type cleanup so all CI gates pass:
- location.py: declare lat/lon as Optional[float] up front. The
fallback/coordinates/repeater branches bind plain floats while the
zipcode/city branches bind float | None from best-effort geocoding, so
a single Optional declaration keeps mypy from pinning the first binding.
- rain_command.py: sort imports to ruff/isort order and mark the
US_STATE_ABBRS / titlecase_location re-exports noqa: F401. They are
listed in __all_location_reexports__ rather than __all__, so ruff does
not recognize them as intentional re-exports on its own.
- test_location_characterization.py: drop a stray blank line (ruff E303).
- Added asynchronous support for location resolution, improving performance and responsiveness.
- Introduced detailed error handling for invalid latitude and longitude inputs, providing specific feedback to users.
- Implemented a caching mechanism for geocoding results to optimize repeated lookups.
- Refactored the AQI command to streamline location handling and improve clarity in error messages.
- Expanded unit tests to cover new geocoding features and error scenarios, ensuring robust functionality.
- Introduced a shared API for location resolution using `modules.location`, allowing for better handling of place lookups (coordinates, ZIP codes, city names).
- Updated geocoding functions to accept both strings and structured dictionaries, improving flexibility in location queries.
- Refactored existing commands (AQI, Rain, Wx) to utilize the new location resolution methods, streamlining the codebase and enhancing maintainability.
- Removed redundant location handling logic from commands, centralizing functionality in the new location module.
- Added tests to ensure proper classification and resolution of various location formats, including multi-word international cities and ZIP codes with surrounding whitespace.
