Adds a `[Hello_Command] include_sender` setting (default off) that names the user the hello reply is answering, so a busy channel can tell whose greeting the bot picked up.
The mention takes the place of the random human descriptor, keeping the translated sentence intact, and is dropped when it would push the reply past the channel body budget. DMs are unaffected, and channel sender names are sanitized before being echoed.
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.
BUG-001: web viewer login/session auth (in web viewer commit)
BUG-002: db_manager ALTER TABLE for missing channel_operations and
feed_message_queue columns on startup
BUG-015: scheduler thread blocked on future.result(); replaced all
blocking waits with add_done_callback (fire-and-forget)
BUG-016: reboot_radio sends meshcore.commands.reboot() before disconnect
BUG-017: radio disconnect uses asyncio.wait_for(timeout=10)
BUG-022: custom asyncio loop exception handler suppresses IndexError
from meshcore parser at DEBUG level
BUG-024: last_db_backup_run updated after each run; 2-min startup
window; last-run seeded from DB on restart
BUG-025: send_channel_message retries up to 2 times (2s delay) on
no_event_received via _is_no_event_received() helper
BUG-026: split_text_into_chunks() and get_max_message_length() added
to CommandManager; keyword dispatch uses send_response_chunked()
BUG-028: byte_data = b"" initialised before try block in
decode_meshcore_packet to prevent UnboundLocalError in except handler
TraceCommand: path nodes reversed and return path truncated; fixed
format_elapsed_display: UTC normalisation before elapsed computation (#75)
RepeaterManager: auto_manage_contacts guard before any purge logic (#50)
Command aliases: [Aliases] config section injects shorthands at startup
JSON logging: _JsonFormatter; json_logging = true in [Logging]
Structured JSON logging compatible with Loki, Elasticsearch, Splunk
Discord bridge, Telegram bridge, and all service plugins updated
MeshGraph edge promotion logic corrected
Shutdown: scheduler and meshcore disconnect joined cleanly; log spam fixed
All modules: ruff and mypy cleanup applied (type annotations, imports)
- Introduced a new utility function `get_config_timezone` to centralize timezone retrieval and validation from the bot's configuration.
- Updated various commands and the scheduler to utilize the new function, ensuring consistent timezone handling and fallback mechanisms.
- Removed direct dependencies on `pytz` in favor of a more flexible approach that supports both `pytz` and `zoneinfo` for timezone management.
- Enhanced logging for invalid timezone configurations to improve troubleshooting.
- Introduced a new configuration option for command prefix in config.ini.example, allowing users to customize command invocation.
- Updated CommandManager to load and utilize the command prefix, ensuring commands are processed correctly based on the configured prefix.
- Enhanced message handling logic to check for the command prefix, maintaining backward compatibility with the legacy "!" prefix.
- Improved keyword matching to ensure bot responses are only triggered when the bot is mentioned, refining interaction accuracy.
- Updated the `generate_html` function to include detailed command usage information, including syntax, examples, and parameters for better user guidance.
- Added CSS styles for improved presentation of command usage and parameters in the generated website documentation.
- Enhanced command classes with structured documentation fields, allowing for consistent and informative command descriptions across the platform.
- Implemented a configuration option for enabling or disabling commands across multiple command classes.
- Each command now checks its enabled state before execution, improving control over command availability.
- Updated the configuration loading mechanism to retrieve the enabled state from the config file for commands like Advert, AQI, Catfact, and others.
- Add timezone configuration to config.ini and config.ini.example
- Update hello_command.py to use configured timezone for time-appropriate greetings
- Add pytz dependency to requirements.txt
- Support standard timezone names (America/New_York, Europe/London, etc.)
- Fallback to system timezone if configured timezone is invalid or empty
- Update core.py create_default_config to include timezone setting
- Time-appropriate greetings now work correctly across different timezones
