Summary

Adds end-to-end MECP (Mesh Emergency Communication Protocol) support so structured emergency reports on the wire (MECP/<0-3>/…) are decoded in chat, alerted loudly for life-threatening severities, audited durably for after-action review, and optionally bridged RF between Meshtastic and MeshCore.

This is a single feature PR covering ingest, UI compose/decode, notification policy, durable logging/export, opt-in cross-protocol rebroadcast, i18n, credits/licensing, and agent/troubleshooting docs.

Why

Operators and first-response volunteers need a compact, language-agnostic emergency format that works over LoRa text channels. Upstream xiang-dev-1/MECP defines the wire grammar and code tables; mesh-client now understands those messages natively instead of treating them as opaque chat strings—and Meshtastic ALERT_APP (port 11) payloads are no longer dropped.

Wire format

MECP/<severity>/<codes> [optional freetext]
Severity Meaning Alert behavior
0 MAYDAY Loud siren + emergency toast; bypasses global / conversation mute
1 URGENT Same as 0
2 SAFETY Softer mecp tone when unmuted
3 ROUTINE Softer mecp tone when unmuted
Drill (D01/D02) Training Never alerts; still audited when received as valid MECP

Max payload length follows upstream (MAX_MESSAGE_BYTES = 200 UTF-8 bytes).


What changed

1. Vendored MECP engine + language packs

  • Engine under src/renderer/lib/mecp/engine/ (GPLv3, from upstream MECP).
  • Localized code/category JSON under src/renderer/lib/mecp/languages/ (CC BY 4.0).
  • App wrappers: mecpMessages.ts (MECP_REGEX, tryParseMecp, lazy language load), mecpAlert.ts, mecpRebroadcast.ts, sendMecpRebroadcast.ts.
  • Attribution in docs/credits.md (Acknowledgements + binary/source table).

2. Ingest: ALERT_APP + MQTT

  • Meshtastic ALERT_APP (port 11) is decoded as UTF-8 text the same way as TEXT_MESSAGE_APP in MeshtasticProtocol and mqtt-manager.ts, so MECP (and other alert text) reaches messageStore and the watcher.
  • Outbound compose still sends normal chat text (TEXT_MESSAGE_APP), not ALERT_APP (documented follow-up).

3. useMecpAlertWatcher (mounted once from App.tsx)

  • Seeds a dedup set on mount so hydration / history does not siren or append audit lines.
  • On each new inbound MECP message:
    • Appends a durable audit record via IPC (mecp:appendReceived).
    • Triggers severity-appropriate audio + emergency toast (sev 0–1 mute-bypass).
    • Optionally evaluates RF rebroadcast rules.
  • Covers Meshtastic, MeshCore, and Reticulum message streams (parse-anywhere; rebroadcast only Meshtastic↔MeshCore).

4. Chat UI

  • Severity badge + decoded localized line on MECP bubbles.
  • MECP compose modal (MecpComposeModal) → encode → existing handleSendChunk / send path for the open DM or channel.
  • Export MECP log action next to compose (Save dialog).

5. Durable audit log (not the session app log)

  • File: mecp-received.log (+ size-rotated .1) under Electron userData.
  • Main: src/main/mecp-received-log.ts with sanitized/clamped JSON lines, append chain, rotate.
  • IPC: mecp:appendReceived, mecp:exportReceivedLog.
  • Included in support bundles (support-bundle.ts); documented in troubleshooting.

6. Opt-in RF rebroadcast (default off)

  • App → MECP settings (MecpRebroadcastSettings): rules with endpointA / endpointB (Meshtastic or MeshCore + channel index), enabled, and bidirectional.
  • Default direction A → B only; bidirectional enables B → A.
  • Guards: skip own / drill / history / store-forward / MQTT-only; fingerprint TTL to prevent ping-pong loops.
  • Does not invent Reticulum bridge endpoints (explicit out of scope).

7. Notifications

  • New chat notification types: mecp (triple ascending pulse) and mecpSiren (loud multi-cycle siren).
  • Emergency toast variant in Toast.tsx.
  • Sev 0–1 path goes through mecpAlert.ts so mute policy is deliberate, not accidental dual-beeps from unread-count helpers.

8. i18n

  • English mecp.* keys in en/translation.json; locales auto-translated for all app languages.

9. Documentation

Doc Update
docs/agents/mecp.md New subsystem reference (wire, receive, audit, send, rebroadcast, out-of-scope)
docs/agents/README.md Index row → mecp.md
AGENTS.md §8 Quick-reference row
docs/agents/chat.md Notification types mecp / mecpSiren
docs/agents/meshtastic.md ALERT_APP ingest note
docs/credits.md MECP engine + language pack licenses
docs/troubleshooting.md MECP audit path + alert/rebroadcast FAQ; support-bundle mention

Test plan

  • Compose: Open Chat → MECP → pick severity + codes → send on a Meshtastic channel; confirm wire text matches MECP/<sev>/… and peer sees decode + badge.
  • Receive Hydration: Restart with prior MECP history; confirm no siren/toast/audit spam on load.
  • Sev 0–1 mute bypass: Enable global mute and/or mute the conversation; inject/receive MECP/0/… and MECP/1/…; confirm loud siren + emergency toast still fire.
  • Sev 2–3 respect mute: With mute on, MECP/2/… / MECP/3/… should not play; unmute and confirm softer mecp tone.
  • Drills: Receive MECP/0/D01 (or other drill); confirm no alert; optional: confirm audit still records if treated as valid inbound MECP per watcher rules.
  • ALERT_APP: On Meshtastic, ensure port-11 / ALERT_APP UTF-8 MECP text appears in chat and triggers the watcher (RF and MQTT paths if available).
  • Audit export: Chat → Export MECP log; confirm Save dialog and NDJSON/JSON lines with sanitized fields. Confirm file under userData (mecp-received.log) and presence in a support bundle.
  • Rebroadcast off by default: With no rules / disabled rules, inbound MECP on Meshtastic must not appear on MeshCore (and vice versa).
  • Unidirectional A→B: Enable one rule Meshtastic ch0 → MeshCore ch0, bidirectional off; RF MECP on A appears once on B; no reverse.
  • Bidirectional: Enable bidirectional; confirm B→A also forwards; confirm fingerprint TTL blocks immediate ping-pong.
  • Rebroadcast guards: MQTT-only, own messages, and drills do not rebroadcast.
  • i18n / a11y: Spot-check MECP UI strings in a non-English locale; compose modal / badge axe-friendly (aria labels present).
  • Automated: Related Vitest for mecpMessages, mecpRebroadcast, useMecpAlertWatcher, mecp-received-log, MeshtasticProtocol ALERT_APP, and compose coverage ran via pre-commit on this branch.

Risk / ops notes

  • Siren mute-bypass is intentional for MAYDAY/URGENT—call this out in release notes so operators are not surprised.
  • Rebroadcast is opt-in and RF-oriented; bridging MQTT into RF is intentionally blocked to reduce loops and spoof amplification.
  • GPLv3 applies to the vendored engine directory; language packs are CC BY 4.0—see credits.

183-185: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clamp channelIndex to the valid 0–7 range in the onChange handler.

The number input has min={0} and max={7}, but those are HTML hints only. The onChange handler clamps only the lower bound (Math.max(0, ...)), so a user can enter a value above 7 and it gets persisted unclamped. Meshtastic and MeshCore RF channel indices are 0–7 elsewhere in this codebase (see mqtt-manager.ts's idx <= 7 checks). An out-of-range value here flows into MecpRebroadcastSendTarget.channelIndex and reaches the live rebroadcast send call.

🐛 Proposed fix
         onChange={(e) => {
-          onChannel(Math.max(0, Math.trunc(Number(e.target.value) || 0)));
+          onChannel(Math.min(7, Math.max(0, Math.trunc(Number(e.target.value) || 0))));
         }}

parseEndpoint does not clamp channelIndex to the valid 0–7 range.

parseEndpoint accepts any finite number for channelIndex, unlike other channel-index handling in the codebase (for example mqtt-manager.ts's idx <= 7 checks). A persisted rule with an out-of-range channel index will parse successfully and later select an invalid destination channel for rebroadcast.

Require the code selector before testing send.

If the M01 button is missing, if (injury) skips every send assertion and the test passes. Use getByRole so the test fails when the code selector or send flow breaks. As per path instructions: “Prefer behavioral/axe assertions; skip style-only test nits.”

Wait for queued appends before reading the export.

When an inbound MECP entry is queued and export starts before appendFile settles, this read can omit the entry. The export handler can then return reason: 'empty'. Await appendChain before reading either file.

src/main/mecp-received-log.ts-90-104 (1)

90-104: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Propagate append failures and retain failed entries for retry.

When appendFile rejects, appendMecpReceivedLog logs the error and returns void, so mecp:appendReceived still returns { ok: true }. Return the individual write promise and await it in an async IPC handler. Keep appendChain assigned to a caught promise so one failure does not block later writes.

Reporting the error alone will not retry the entry: the watcher adds the message key to seen before starting appendAudit, and appendAudit catches the rejection. Keep failed entries pending for retry independently of seen.

-export function appendMecpReceivedLog(entry: MecpReceivedLogEntry): void {
+export function appendMecpReceivedLog(entry: MecpReceivedLogEntry): Promise<void> {

Inline comments:
In `@src/main/mqtt-manager.ts`:
- Around line 1018-1019: Update the JSON dispatch in handleJsonMessage so
typeLower also recognizes 'alert' and routes it through handleJsonText, matching
the existing 'text' path. Keep the existing handling for nodeinfo, user,
position, telemetry, neighborinfo, text, and traceroute unchanged, and add the
new branch alongside the current type checks so ALERT_APP mirrors are not
dropped.

In `@src/renderer/components/ChatPanel.tsx`:
- Around line 3362-3364: Update the ChatPanel message-details flow around
getCachedMecpLanguage to load the selected MECP pack when it is not cached, then
update ChatPanel’s display state when loading completes so existing details
rerender with the selected language instead of remaining in English.
- Around line 3786-3788: Update the MECP submission flow in ChatPanel’s onSend
handler so a report is not treated as sent when handleSendChunk returns without
sending because activeDmNode is null. Prevent submission until a DM destination
is selected, or propagate a result that lets the modal remain open and preserve
the report when no send occurs.
- Around line 3769-3775: Update the `exportReceivedLog()` click handler to catch
rejected promises and show visible feedback for both rejected calls and
unsuccessful results other than `empty`. Keep cancellation distinct from errors,
and preserve the existing quiet behavior for an empty log.

In `@src/renderer/components/mecp/MecpComposeModal.tsx`:
- Around line 95-102: Update MecpComposeModal to manage modal keyboard focus:
move focus into the dialog when it opens, keep Tab navigation contained within
it, and restore focus to the previously focused element when it closes. Handle
Escape by dismissing the dialog so keyboard input cannot reach the underlying
chat while it is open.
- Around line 82-90: Update MecpComposeModal’s handleSend flow to catch rejected
onSend calls, extract a user-visible error message, and store it in new local
error state instead of letting the rejection escape. Keep the existing sending
reset in the finally block, and clear the error on retry or any edit path in the
component’s input handlers so the message near the send action stays in sync.
Use the existing handleSend, onSend, and related edit callbacks in
MecpComposeModal as the places to wire this in.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Report received-log export failures.

If exportReceivedLog() rejects, this handler leaves an unhandled rejection. If it returns a non-empty failure, the handler gives the user no indication that the log was not exported. Handle both failure paths with visible feedback; keep cancellation separate from an error.

2163-2197: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add a busy-state guard and empty-log feedback to the MECP export button.

The adjacent "Export for GitHub" and "Export for Developer" buttons in this file disable themselves while supportBundleExporting is set, preventing overlapping exports. The MECP export button has no equivalent guard, so repeated clicks can stack multiple save-dialog/export attempts.

When res.reason === 'empty', the handler only logs to the console. The user gets no visible feedback that the export was skipped because the log is empty, as opposed to failed or stuck.

Add a busy-state flag around the exportReceivedLog() call, and show an informational toast for the empty reason.

- Around line 77-111: Update the Escape handling in MecpComposeModal’s onKeyDown
to stop propagation after preventing the default, and register the document
keydown listener in capture phase. Use the same capture setting when removing
the listener so cleanup matches registration and ChatPanel’s bubble-phase Escape
handler does not receive the event.

In `@src/renderer/hooks/useMecpAlertWatcher.ts`:
- Around line 95-107: In the watcher flow around `appendAudit`, use one shared
exclusion check for both audit writes and alert handling. Include own, history,
store-forward, tapback, and missing-severity messages in that check; reuse it in
the append condition, error-path alert guard, and later alert gate so excluded
messages are neither audited nor alerted.

Hide the Chat MECP button until enabled in App (default off), harden Escape
capture, unify watcher audit/alert exclusions, and busy-guard export with an empty toast.
Open MECP compose on ROUTINE with Drill + D02 selected, and align the
vendored-file watch reason assertion with the shared update.sh helper.

Comment thread src/renderer/hooks/useMecpAlertWatcher.ts Outdated
Prevent concurrent watcher passes from double-alerting while appendReceived
is pending; alert once up front and release the claim only if audit fails.
Map severity 0–1 to red, 2 to yellow, and 3 to blue for badges and bubbles.
Play siren (0–1) and a louder burst (2–3) even when Chat is focused on
the receiving view; stop pre-selecting D02 in compose.
