Add a rain nowcast (Open-Meteo 15-minutely precipitation — worldwide, no API
key) as both an on-demand `rain`/`nowcast` command and an opt-in Weather_Service
push that announces rain starting and stopping at the bot's position.
- modules/commands/rain_command.py — command plus pure, unit-tested
fetch/analyze/dedup/label helpers (also reused by the service)
- modules/service_plugins/weather_service.py — background poller mirroring the
existing weather-alert poll pattern; ships disabled (opt-in)
- Location labels resolve to "City, ST" (US) / "City, Country" (non-US)
- 34 unit tests; rain_command added to the strict-mypy module list
- Updated the scheduled message format in `config.ini.example` to support 5-field cron expressions and preset aliases, replacing the deprecated HHMM format.
- Improved the `MessageScheduler` class to parse and validate new schedule formats, logging warnings for deprecated usage.
- Adjusted the `ScheduleCommand` to display scheduled messages with their respective cron or preset labels.
- Added unit tests to ensure correct parsing and handling of various schedule formats, including legacy HHMM and cron expressions.
- Removed caution section from README to streamline information.
- Added new services to README: Earthquake Service, Repeater Prefix Collision Service, and MQTT Weather Relay.
- Expanded command reference documentation with new commands: `version`, `status`, `aurora`, `magic8`, `catfact`, `reload`, `channelpause`, `channelresume`, `greeter`, `announcements`, and `schedule`.
- Updated getting started guide to reflect changes in Python version requirement and installation instructions.
- Enhanced service plugins documentation to include new services and clarify existing ones.
- Enhanced configuration options for `auto_manage_contacts` to support 'device' mode, allowing firmware to handle companion auto-addition and favourite hygiene.
- Updated `MessageHandler` to track new companions based on the `auto_manage_contacts` setting, with distinct behaviors for 'false', 'device', and 'bot' modes.
- Introduced scheduled jobs in `MessageScheduler` for device mode to manage firmware preferences and favourite keys with specified delays.
- Modified `RepeaterManager` to skip companion auto-purge in device mode, ensuring firmware manages contact slots effectively.
- Added tests to validate new behaviors and configurations, ensuring robust handling of contact management across different modes.
- Introduced `[Trace_Command]` section in `config.ini.example` to enable link diagnostics with customizable parameters such as maximum hops, trace mode, and retry settings.
- Updated `command-reference.md` to include usage instructions and examples for the new `trace` and `tracer` commands, detailing their functionality for manual and round-trip tracing.
- Enhanced `mesh_graph.py` to support 2-byte trace confirmation for improved path weighting.
- Modified `message_handler.py` to update the mesh graph based on trace data, ensuring accurate edge representation in the graph.
- Added translations for the new trace commands in `en.json` to support user interaction in multiple languages.
- Added an overview link to the installation section in mkdocs.yml for better accessibility.
- Renamed the Command Reference documentation file from `commands.md` to `command-reference.md` for consistency.
- Updated all references to the Command Reference in README.md, getting-started.md, and index.md to reflect the new file name.
