A codex review of the branch found seven places where earlier refactor commits changed behavior. Each is restored here with a test:
- base_service imported flood_scope relatively; the local-service loader also runs that file as local_services.base_service, where the import cannot resolve. Now absolute.
- Radio-health fields were initialized after commands and services were built, so a plugin constructor reading is_radio_offline raised. They are now set before any plugin.
- Removing the per-command can_execute overrides made 31 commands honor skip_channel_check, which their overrides had dropped. BaseCommand.honors_skip_channel_check (False on exactly those commands) keeps them enforcing their channel list.
- CommandManager.get_plugin_metadata, WxCommand.get_weather_for_zipcode and PluginLoader.validate_plugin were public compatibility entry points; they are back.
- feed_manager stopped exporting DEFAULT_MAX_FEED_RESPONSE_BYTES and DEFAULT_MAX_PARSED_FEED_ITEMS despite the commit saying it re-exported them; it does now.
- wx and gwx logged companion-location lookup failures at WARNING; the shared helper logged at debug. It now takes the level.
- The INFO 'MESSAGE ROUTING' / 'DIRECT MESSAGE' lines for pubkey-correlated DMs were removed with the dead path_info computation; they are logged again by a log-only helper.
Every name removed here has zero references across modules, tests, docs, local plugins, scripts and generate_website.py, and none is part of the documented plugin surface (db_manager, command_manager send methods, channel_manager stay untouched). About 1,160 lines:
- multitest: four formatter helpers that only referenced each other (the flat and nested variants are the ones in use)
- path: _get_api_cache_data, _filter_recent_repeaters
- repeater command: _handle_contact_stats, _get_geocoding_status
- airplanes: _send_split_response; greeter: get_recent_greeted_users; plugin_loader: validate_plugin
- wx: get_weather_for_zipcode, abbreviate_alert_title, get_current_conditions
- message_handler: discover_message_path, and an ADVERT debug line behind a self.debug attribute that is never set
- utils: _get_node_location_and_key_from_db
- repeater_manager: test_meshcore_cli_commands, toggle_auto_add, restore_repeater, get_purging_stats, populate_missing_geolocation_data, get_daily_advertisement_stats, get_nodes_per_day_stats
- command_manager: get_available_commands_list and get_plugin_metadata (HelpCommand and PluginLoader have the live versions)
- base_command: _load_command_prefix, and a no-op .replace('_', '_')
- scheduler: the first of two _run_data_retention definitions, shadowed by the second since it was added
- core: the write-only last_clock_sync_time, and _setup_routing_capture, which only logged a line
Full suite, ruff and mypy pass, and the characterization golden files are unchanged.
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

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)
- Updated the MeshGraph class to prevent promoting a 1-byte edge to a 3-byte edge when the existing 1-byte edge lacks public keys, ensuring accurate observation attribution.
- Added a new test case to verify the behavior of edge promotion under specific conditions.
- Modified the BotDataViewer API to return the prefix length dynamically based on the edges, improving data consistency and user experience in the web viewer.
- Enhanced the mesh.html template to support displaying prefix byte counts, providing clearer information on node connections.
- Updated `.gitignore` to include local configuration and plugin directories, allowing users to add custom commands and services without modifying core code.
- Enhanced `config.ini.example` with instructions for using local plugins and added sections for local service configurations.
- Refactored `PluginLoader` and `ServicePluginLoader` to support loading local commands and services from specified directories, improving extensibility.
- Updated `mkdocs.yml` to include documentation for local plugins and the check-in API.
- Added tests to verify the discovery and loading of local plugins, ensuring functionality and preventing name collisions with built-in plugins.
- Removed unnecessary import of the `html` module in `feed_manager.py`.
- Moved the `import inspect` statement to the module level in `plugin_loader.py` for better organization.
- Initialized `last_channel_ops_check_time` and `last_message_queue_check_time` attributes in `scheduler.py` to streamline message scheduling logic.
- Cleaned up redundant checks for attribute existence in the `MessageScheduler` class.
- Removed redundant command list in config example for clarity.
- Improved plugin validation by adding checks for required attributes and types, ensuring better error handling during plugin instantiation.
- Enhanced rate limiter classes to track total sends and throttled attempts, providing statistics for better monitoring.
- Updated command implementations to include metadata for better organization and clarity in command handling.
- Introduced a thread-safe InternetStatusCache class to manage internet connectivity status with caching.
- Refactored internet connectivity checks to utilize the new cache, reducing redundant checks.
- Added a unified method for handling message send results, improving error logging and response management.
- Enhanced rate limit checks to streamline command execution and prevent spam.
- Improved plugin loading error handling and validation, ensuring robust plugin management.
- Added a new configuration option in config.ini.example for selecting the weather provider (NOAA or Open-Meteo), defaulting to NOAA.
- Updated WxCommand to delegate to wx_international when the Open-Meteo provider is selected, improving global weather command support.
- Implemented fallback behavior to use wx_international as the wx command if the default wx command is missing, enhancing user experience.
- Improved logging to provide clearer information on command delegation and provider usage.
