send_nightly_email, send_zombie_alert_email and send_radio_offline_alert_email each read the same notif.* SMTP settings, parsed the port the same way, and repeated the same SSL/STARTTLS/plain transport. maintenance.read_smtp_settings returns an SmtpSettings record and send_smtp_message delivers a message with it. Each sender keeps its own enable checks, recipients, validation messages and body.
Full suite: all pass except tests/unit/test_wx_location_prefix_budget.py::test_a_prefix_is_actually_in_play, which makes a live Nominatim call and fails the same way on dev at the moment.
setup_logging's formatter, handler and library-logger wiring is now configure_bot_logging(config, bot_root); MeshCoreBot.setup_logging calls it and still installs the signal handlers. The meshcore logger list that setup_logging and _configure_meshcore_debug_logging each spelled out is one MESHCORE_LOGGER_NAMES, and both use configure_meshcore_loggers. _JsonFormatter moves along as JsonFormatter. Statement order inside setup is unchanged, so the startup log lines come out as before.
Also fixes mypy on the admin_server module from the previous commit: as a new module it is type-checked, and its Flask view annotations needed loosening.
**A `global` verdict now requires RF correlated to the message.** It was also
reachable through `_is_confirmed_global_flood`'s argument-from-absence route
("no scope-eligible packet in the window, therefore unscoped"), so a row that
literally said TC_FLOOD, or a scoped ADVERT that the GRP_TXT filter excluded,
came back as "no region code". That inference is fine for deciding whether a
`*` in flood_scopes authorizes a reply; it is not fine for accusing someone of
a misconfiguration. Channel messages still correlate through the payload match
(#255), so the ordinary case is unaffected.
**A `%` in the warning message no longer wedges config reload.** `_get` read
without `raw=True`, so configparser's interpolation raised, the error was
swallowed, and the bot transmitted the default wording instead. Worse, the
bot's own `_validate_config_snapshot` iterates `config.items(section)` and
would reject every hot reload until the file was hand-edited. The save endpoint
now rejects `%` outright and caps the message at 500 characters, and the read
is raw so a hand-edited value is still honored.
**One unreachable sender no longer eats the daily cap forever.** The cap counted
failed attempts but the per-sender cooldown did not, so a node the radio cannot
reach was retried every `min_unscoped_messages` messages indefinitely and no
real offender was ever warned. Both count attempts now. The regression test
fails with three sends against the old filter.
**The sender is a display name, not an identity.** MeshCore's CHANNEL_MSG_RECV
carries no public key, so `sender_pubkey` was always empty on this path and the
only identity is a prefix anyone with the channel key can forge. DM delivery
now requires a contact the radio already holds, which bounds the bot to nodes
it knows and stops failed sends spending cap slots. Two tests asserted the
opposite because the fixture supplied a pubkey the radio never sends; they now
run with what the call site actually passes, and the docs no longer claim
pubkey identity.
Also: a negative `max_warnings_per_day` fell back instead of clamping to the
"unlimited" sentinel; tallies group case-insensitively so a `#` or case change
does not split a channel; retention uses the same clock the rows are written
in; the status figure shows delivered with attempts beside it, rather than a
count of four next to "last warning: none yet"; and the channel bars are scaled
over classified traffic so their width equals the percentage printed beside
them (33.7% was drawn at 28.7%).
Closes#279.
A MeshCore client with no region configured sends every channel message as
a plain FLOOD, which every repeater on the mesh rebroadcasts. This adds two
things: free observation of how much of that the bot hears, and an opt-in
warning to the senders.
Observation classifies each channel message as scoped, global or unknown and
tallies it per channel per local day. It costs one upsert and no airtime, and
it is what lets an operator see the size of the problem before deciding to
spend airtime on it. The classification runs ahead of the flood_scopes
allowlist, because an unscoped message is exactly what that allowlist drops.
Warnings only ever fire on positive RF evidence of an unscoped FLOOD. Absence
of correlation is not proof that a sender omitted a region, so it classifies
as unknown and stays quiet. They are off by default, start in dry run, and are
fenced by min_unscoped_messages, a per-sender cooldown, a mesh-wide cooldown
and a daily cap on attempts. Dry run consumes the same budget it previews, so
the log is what going live would put on the air, not an upper bound. All three
limits read from the database, so a restart cannot release a burst.
Channel-delivered warnings go out at global scope on purpose: the recipient is
by definition outside any region the bot replies under.
New Settings -> Region Warnings page in the web viewer covers all of it. Its
dark-mode striped rows exposed a pre-existing base.html bug where Bootstrap's
light-theme text color survived on a dark row background (~1.3:1); fixed there
for every table in the app.
Port the observer firmware's neighbours feature into the bot's packet capture
service, by way of meshcore-packet-capture (upstream PRs #42/#43). On a long
interval the bot asks which repeaters it hears directly and records each
confirmed link with its measured SNR.
This is the strongest link evidence the bot collects: a first-party RF
measurement between two full 32-byte public keys. Path inference works from
1-3 byte prefixes with no keys, and complete_contact_tracking.hop_count
over-claims zero-hop (800 claimed vs 68 corroborated on the live database).
modules/neighbors_discovery.py keeps upstream's public names so its fixes and
tests stay portable. Two deliberate divergences:
- No command_lock plumbing. _SerializedCommands in modules/core.py already
serialises and paces every radio command, strictly more than upstream's
reentrant lock did.
- neighbors_collect_scopes defaults off. Upstream's zero-hop scope probe
relies on a neighbour not being a known contact; this bot tracks contacts,
and for a repeater with no stored path the library reaches zero-hop by
calling change_contact_path() then reset_path() -- mutating the device's
contact table per neighbour. Scope requests also hold the radio lock for
their whole round trip (~25s), stalling bot replies. The default cycle is
one command plus a passive listen window, during which the bot stays
responsive.
Evidence lands in neighbor_links and neighbor_observations (migration 22)
rather than mesh_connections, which cannot persist provenance. The viewer
exposes it as evidence=neighbors on /api/mesh/edges and a Neighbours Only
mode on the mesh page, with populated public keys and real SNR; confirmed
neighbours also relabel edges in the combined view and count as
provenance-trusted when framing the initial map.
neighbors_enabled is the single switch. Every enabled broker publishes once
it is on (mqttN_neighbors defaults true; set false to hold one back). The
topic derives from each broker's packets topic with the last segment swapped,
so a templated broker gets meshcore/{IATA}/{PUBLIC_KEY}/neighbors -- the
topic the firmware uses -- instead of an unrelated flat one. A derived
location-routed topic is skipped with a warning when no iata is set, rather
than publishing into meshcore/XYZ/... on a shared namespace. Snapshots are
non-retained: heard_secs_ago is relative to publish time, so a retained copy
would read as current days later.
Also adds a DM-gated `neighbors` command (the 12h interval floor makes
waiting for the scheduler impractical), which acks immediately and reports in
a second message once the window closes.
Requires meshcore >= 2.3.8 for send_node_discover_req / req_regions_sync.
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.
Add sanitize_name() to security_utils and apply it to all log calls
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.
- Introduced a new `_utc_now` function in `maintenance.py` to standardize UTC time retrieval, replacing deprecated `utcnow()` calls.
- Updated all instances of `datetime.utcnow()` in `maintenance.py` to use the new `_utc_now` function for consistency.
- Modified `app.py` in the web viewer to use `datetime.now(timezone.utc)` instead of `datetime.utcnow()`, ensuring timezone awareness.
- Enhanced MQTT test suite with new v2 callback methods for improved connection handling and error reporting.
- Introduced a new `maintenance` module to handle data retention, log rotation, and nightly email tasks.
- Updated the `scheduler` to utilize the `MaintenanceRunner` for executing maintenance tasks, improving code organization and clarity.
- Enhanced documentation to reflect changes in logging configuration and data retention processes.
- Adjusted tests to accommodate the refactored scheduler methods and ensure proper functionality.
