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.
reload, channelpause, status and feed overrode requires_admin_access() to return True, then checked 'if not self.requires_admin_access(): return False' in their own can_execute, which could never fire. BaseCommand gains an admin_only class attribute that requires_admin_access() honors before consulting [Admin_ACL] admin_commands; the four commands set it and lose both overrides. status and feed move their enable switch onto enabled_attr. requires_admin_access() is unchanged for every other caller, including local plugins and the website generator.
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
BUG-015: scheduler thread blocked on future.result(); replaced all
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)
- Introduced a new method `reload_config` to allow dynamic reloading of the configuration without restarting the bot, ensuring seamless updates to settings.
- Added a helper method `_get_radio_settings` to retrieve current radio settings for comparison during reload.
- Updated `admin_commands` in `config.ini.example` to include the new `reload` command, enabling admin users to reload configurations on-the-fly.
- Enhanced the `setup_scheduled_messages` method in the scheduler to clear existing jobs before reloading, preventing duplicates.
