The Plugins page now has a field for every setting the plugins read. I compared each plugin's settings_schema against config.ini.example and the keys the code reads; fourteen plugins had gaps (greeter, trace, stats, path, wx/gwx, rain, test, multitest, sports, worldcup, cmd, feed, the webhook, weather, packet capture, earthquake and prefix-collision services) and the World Cup service had no form at all. Webhook URLs, bot tokens and channel keys use the password field. A guard test needed four [Rain_Command] keys documented in config.ini.example.
Template fields get a { } button that opens a reference of the placeholders they take, with click-to-insert. Fields rendered by the piped engine (test's response_format, path's reply_prefix) also list the filters and conditionals. Every template field previews as you type: piped fields against a 2-byte, a 1-byte and a direct sample message, so a conditional's effect shows before saving, and the str.format fields (greeter, mesh info, multitest, MQTT weather) as their plugin renders them, including what it sends when the template has a mistake. The specs and renderers live in modules/template_reference.py; the preview endpoint only renders and never saves. The greeter's channel_greetings parser and multi-part split moved into module functions so the command and the preview share them.
Fixes the new fields would otherwise have exposed:
- Clearing a number field saved `key =`, which makes getint/getfloat raise and the plugin fail to load. A cleared number now removes the key.
- The weather service raised in __init__ when only some blitz_area_* corners were set. It now needs all four and logs a warning otherwise.
- A blank MQTT weather json_template saved an empty template, so every reply said no message had arrived. Blank now saves the default.
An oversized webhook or channel body was handed to the firmware whole. The device dropped it without an ack, retries stalled the transport, and the radio looked dead. Split to the frame budget, keep links intact, and tag multi-part sends so they can be reassembled.
Reserve the wx location prefix from that same budget, and let NOAA alert polling be turned off without disabling the rest of the weather service.
- Modified the core service to start the webhook service before establishing a radio connection, reducing the window for connection refusals.
- Implemented a readiness check in the webhook service to return a 503 status when the bot is not connected, ensuring clear communication to external callers.
- Added unit tests to verify the webhook service's behavior when the bot's connection status changes, including rate limiting and readiness responses.
Strip leading # when resolving channel names so webhook posts match
hashtag channels cached from the radio. Return HTTP 500 when mesh send
returns false instead of reporting success.
Updated the mesh scope assignment logic in the WebhookService to use a more concise inline conditional expression. This change improves code readability while maintaining the same functionality for determining the appropriate mesh scope based on the incoming request body.
- Introduced optional regional TC_FLOOD scope configuration for various services, allowing for more granular control over message routing.
- Updated the CommandManager to resolve and apply flood scopes from messages, configuration sections, and explicit parameters, ensuring correct message delivery.
- Enhanced service plugins to utilize the new flood scope functionality, including weather, earthquake, and webhook services.
- Added unit tests to verify the correct resolution and application of flood scopes in different scenarios, ensuring robust functionality.
- Added a regex pattern to validate SQLite column definitions, preventing SQL injection in the _add_column() function.
- Introduced a new validation function to ensure safe column definitions are used.
- Updated repeater_manager.py to use list() for iterating over contacts, ensuring compatibility with potential changes in the underlying data structure.
- Enhanced error handling in the MessageScheduler for better debugging during scheduler shutdown and message sending.
These changes improve the security and reliability of database operations and enhance the robustness of the repeater management system.
Add POST /webhook endpoint to the web viewer. Authenticated via
