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.
BaseCommand.translated_or(key, fallback, kind=list) returns a catalog value when it is a non-empty list (or dict) and the built-in fallback otherwise. hello's six getters and catfact's use it. The built-in fallback data stays: a configured or local catalog can leave a key out or empty, and then these lists are what the bot says.
hacker's get_hacker_error was a 23-branch if/elif with an inline list per branch; it is now an ordered _HACKER_ERRORS table of (prefixes, key, fallback) generated from that chain, with the generic list last. For every probed command it selects the same translation key and the same candidate list as before, checked by running both versions.
32 commands overrode can_execute only to return False while their own <name>_enabled flag was off and otherwise defer to the base. BaseCommand now has an enabled_attr class attribute naming that flag, which can_execute checks first. Each command keeps reading its flag exactly as before (same section, default and legacy aliases), and code and tests that set help_enabled, webviewer_enabled and the like still work, since the flag is read at call time.
Only overrides that were exactly 'if not self.<flag>: return False; return super().can_execute(...)' were converted, checked by AST. Commands with extra conditions (wx's delegate, joke's dark-joke DM rule, admin-only and DM-only checks, dadjoke's reversed order) keep their overrides. Several of the removed overrides called super().can_execute(message) without passing skip_channel_check; nothing calls them with it set, so honoring it now changes nothing.
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.

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.)

- Update core.py create_default_config to include timezone setting
- Time-appropriate greetings now work correctly across different timezones
