Make outbound send suppression consistent by honoring both radio-offline and zombie states across command-manager and scheduler paths. Preserve strict SSRF defaults while adding explicit private-feed URL opt-ins, persist allow_local_smtp from notifications config writes, reconcile zombie alert setting precedence, and replace deprecated UTC timestamp calls with timezone-aware UTC usage.
The send_channel_message test was leaving bot.is_radio_zombie as an
unset MagicMock attribute, which evaluates truthy and triggers the
zombie-state early return before flood scope logic runs.
Add bot.is_radio_zombie = False to the mock setup so the function
reaches the set_flood_scope call as intended.
- Updated `config.ini.example` to clarify the usage of `outgoing_flood_scope_override` and `flood_scopes`, providing examples for better understanding.
- Modified `configuration.md` to reflect changes in flood scope handling, emphasizing the distinction between `outgoing_flood_scope_override` and `flood_scopes`.
- Refactored `CommandManager` to utilize the new `outgoing_flood_scope_override` for sending messages, ensuring consistent scope handling.
- Enhanced `MessageHandler` to prioritize library-provided scope fields for improved accuracy in flood scope matching.
- Added tests to validate the handling of flood scope fields from library payloads, ensuring robustness in message processing.
- Updated `config.ini.example` to clarify flood scope configuration, introducing the auto-hashtag format for region names and adding support for multi-scope replies.
- Refactored `ChannelManager` to improve handling of empty channels, adjusting timeout logic and increasing request delay to prevent overwhelming devices.
- Enhanced `CommandManager` to load flood scope keys for HMAC matching and normalize scope names for consistency.
- Implemented scope matching in `MessageHandler` to ensure replies respect configured flood scopes, improving message routing accuracy.
- Updated `MeshMessage` model to include a `reply_scope` attribute for tracking matched flood scopes.
- Replaced direct SQLite connection calls with a context manager in various modules to ensure proper resource management and prevent file descriptor leaks.
- Introduced a new `connection` method in `DBManager` to standardize connection handling.
- Updated all relevant database interactions in modules such as `feed_manager`, `scheduler`, `commands`, and others to utilize the new connection method.
- Improved code readability and maintainability by consolidating connection logic.
- Enhanced .gitignore to allow test files in the tests/ directory and committed pytest.ini for test discovery.
- Added checks for missing sections in configuration files, specifically for Admin_ACL and Banned_Users, to prevent errors during bot startup.
- Updated generate_website.py and command_manager.py to handle cases where required sections are absent, returning empty lists instead of raising exceptions.
- Introduced optional dependencies for testing in pyproject.toml, ensuring a smoother development experience.
- Improved localization handling in core.py to default to English when the Localization section is missing, enhancing user experience.
