command_manager: _record_transmission passes extra keyword arguments through, so #336's recipient_key (DMs) and channel_idx (channels) reach record_transmission as on dev.
graph_trace_helper: dev's rewrite from #336, with its two repeater-key lookups (immediate neighbor and _unique_repeater_key) going through contacts_repo.unique_recent_repeater_key, whose queries are identical.
bot_prefix and graph_trace_helper's bot key read meshcore.device, which meshcore_py doesn't have, so both were always None and update_mesh_graph_from_trace_data skipped every trace. Both now come from meshcore.self_info's public_key (device stays a fallback), and bot_prefix is read lazily because the tracker is built before the radio connects. The helper names the bot at the trace's hash width, so the last hop's edge matches the hops' own width, and marks 2-byte edges with prefix_bytes=2.
trace_command read update_graph_two_byte but never used it; 2-byte traces now follow it instead of update_graph_one_byte.
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.
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.
Added a new method `split_trigger_and_args` to the `BaseCommand` class, which splits message content into a matched keyword and arguments. This enhancement allows for better handling of command triggers and arguments across various command classes, ensuring that multi-word triggers are prioritized and leading characters are stripped appropriately. Updated the `ChannelsCommand`, `DiceCommand`, `HackerCommand`, `MultitestCommand`, `RollCommand`, and `TraceCommand` classes to utilize this new method for cleaner and more consistent command execution logic.
- Updated the TraceCommand class to support parsing of 1-byte, 2-byte, and 3-byte hex node paths.
- Improved the _extract_path_from_message and _parse_path_arg methods to handle multibyte node formats and enforce consistent length checks.
- Enhanced help text and usage examples to reflect new path formats.
- Added unit tests for multibyte path parsing and reciprocal path building to ensure correct functionality.
- Updated `config.ini.example` to introduce the `respond_to_mentions` setting, allowing configuration of how the bot responds to mentions in channel messages.
- Refactored `MessageHandler` to implement logic for handling mentions based on the new configuration, including stripping mentions when appropriate.
- Added `cleanup_message_for_matching` method in `BaseCommand` to streamline message processing and mention validation.
- Enhanced various command classes to utilize the new cleanup method for consistent mention handling.
- Introduced tests to validate the behavior of the new mention handling logic across different configurations.

- Updated the TraceCommand class to enhance the labeling of hops in the trace output.
- Replaced direct hash retrieval with a conditional approach to determine the source label for each hop, improving clarity in the output format.
- Ensured consistent labeling for the first and last hops, enhancing the readability of the trace results.
- Updated the logic in `TraceCommand` to avoid capping the `path_nodes` after building the reciprocal path, ensuring that the return path is preserved.
- Improved clarity in the code by adding a comment to explain the rationale behind the change.
- Updated `config.ini.example` to include an `output_format` option for the trace command, allowing users to choose between inline and vertical formats for trace results.
- Enhanced the `TraceCommand` class to handle the new output format, implementing methods for both inline and vertical formatting of trace results.
- Improved documentation within the code to clarify the behavior of the new output format feature.
- Updated the trace command's description and help text to clarify the behavior of the `trace` and `tracer` commands regarding path handling.
- Modified the `_format_trace_result` method to include the sender's ID in the response for better context in trace results.

- 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.
