Summary

This branch is a set of MeshCore Rooms (BBS) login correctness fixes, plus a few related MeshCore/Reticulum items that landed on the same branch. pnpm run update was run before opening; watched protocol packages were unchanged. @zip.js/zip.js moved 2.8.472.8.51.

MeshCore Rooms login (blank vs "hello", ACL, cancel, hops, history)

Blank guest login is blank on the wire. Overlay Login with an empty guest field used to send the older factory default "hello". That is now a zero-byte password field. Blank is read-only when the room allows it; "hello" remains the default read/write guest password (users can still type it). Continue read-only also sends blank. Error copy distinguishes rejected/timed-out blank vs "hello" vs other passwords.

LoginSuccess ACL is the permissions byte, not reserved. Companion v7+ LoginSuccess is legacyFlag + pubkey prefix + timestamp + PERM_ACL_* + firmware level. The meshcore.js patch now parses permissions. reserved is the legacy hint (0 = RW, 1 = admin, 2 = guest) and inverts read-write vs guest if you treat it as ACL. Role resolution prefers permissions, then legacy reserved, then password hint. permissions=0 (guest) is read-only in the UI even if the user typed "hello".

Cancel aborts the whole login op, including path resolve and queue waits. An outer abort covers route prime + SendLogin, not only the in-flight LoginSuccess wait. The login queue’s 60s mesh TX-spacing wait is polled so Cancel does not sit out the remainder. SendLogin itself is wrapped in meshcoreAbortablePromise so a hung RPC still rejects on Cancel. Relogin-before-post rethrows abort instead of reporting “session expired”.

Sticky UI hops no longer block 0-hop SendLogin. Contact merge can keep old hops_away after a flood/trace reports a direct path. Login hop resolution uses route bytes when UI hops are 0, and treats sticky multi-hop with an empty path as 0-hop so login is not failed as noRoute. Path sync still programs multi-hop routes onto the companion before SendLogin.

History catch-up after first login. Room servers push ring-buffer posts newer than companion sync_since. Firmware only zeroes that watermark on new contacts, so mesh-client remove+re-adds the contact when this device has no local last-post time yet, then drains waiting messages after LoginSuccess. If remove succeeds and add fails, add is retried so the room is not left deleted from the companion table. Catch-up is skipped when Cancel already aborted (before remove).

Auto-sync / reconnect use the same loginRoom path as the UI (path sync, catch-up, abort, waiting-message drain). Background ticks pass schedulerFastPath so they still skip trace / use the short route-resolve budget.

MeshCore Radio / node names

  • Radio → Device User / Identity → Apply is wired for MeshCore (setAdvertName) as well as Meshtastic (setOwner), including prefill from activeRuntime.deviceOwner (fixes Cannot set a long name for my companion or repeater #860).
  • Live RF adverts apply the on-air name and role instead of leaving Node-XXXX / pubkey-hash labels. Tombstoned contacts are revived when a live advert is heard. Node detail hides MeshCore hex ids.

Reticulum Full + RMAP

Enabling RMAP publish (discoverable = Yes) on Full / Roaming / Boundary used to look configured as Full while rsReticulum silently ran Access Point. mesh-client now stamps ignore_config_warnings = Yes when publish is on and you keep a non-AP/Gateway mode, clears it when it is no longer needed, audits the clash, and shows an Effective: Access Point badge when live runtime_mode still diverges (e.g. before stack restart).

Commits (origin/main..HEAD)

  1. 8f179dec — send empty room guest passwords instead of substituting "hello"
  2. 73e1e581 — enable Radio Device User/Identity Apply for MeshCore (Cannot set a long name for my companion or repeater #860)
  3. f21a3bda — first ACL/login-copy pass (later corrected: reserved is not the ACL byte)
  4. c856c109 — abort room login during path resolve on Cancel
  5. 77bc3dc8 — honor Full mode with RMAP via ignore_config_warnings
  6. 6cf11b8d — show RF advert names instead of Node-XXXX / pubkey hash
  7. 260b54da — LoginSuccess permissions ACL, hops vs empty path, history catch-up, translated login errors
  8. 465fa644 — review pass: abortable SendLogin / TX-spacing, catch-up restore retry, shared loginRoom for auto-sync/reconnect, pubkey mismatch reload, docs, @zip.js/zip.js bump

Test plan

  • Blank guest login: Rooms overlay Login with empty password on a room that allows read-only guests → session is read-only, cannot post. Continue read-only also sends blank.
  • "hello" guest: type hello on a room that still uses the factory guest password → read/write, can post.
  • Wrong password copy: blank reject vs "hello" reject vs other password show the distinct strings (not a raw i18n key).
  • ACL: log in as guest on a v7+ room (permissions=0) even with "hello" typed → UI stays read-only. Admin password → admin. Confirm composer / Members / Repeaters CLI match the role.
  • Cancel during path resolve: start login to a multi-hop room (slow route prime) → Cancel immediately → overlay returns to login, no late LoginSuccess session, no noRoute toast from the cancelled attempt.
  • Cancel during queue spacing: Log in all (or two rooms back-to-back) → Cancel the waiting room during the 60s mesh spacing → UI clears without waiting a minute.
  • 0-hop with sticky hops: room that is actually direct but UI still shows hops from an old merge → Login succeeds (SendLogin 0-hop), not noRoute.
  • Multi-hop login: room with a real path → companion gets the route before SendLogin; login reaches the room.
  • History catch-up: first login to a room with no local posts → recent ring-buffer posts appear after the post-login waiting-message drains (~2.5s / 8s / 20s). Repeat login when posts already exist does not strip the contact.
  • Auto-sync: enable Auto-sync, disconnect/reconnect RF → overdue rooms log in through the same path (including catch-up when there is no local last-post).
  • Radio Apply: MeshCore connected → Radio Device User/Identity Apply sets companion advert name; Meshtastic still uses setOwner.
  • RF names: hear an advert from a node that was Node-XXXX / hash → list and node detail show the advert name.
  • Reticulum Full + RMAP: RNode set to Full, enable RMAP publish → config keeps Full and writes ignore_config_warnings = Yes. Restart stack → live mode is Full, no Effective badge. Before restart, badge may show Effective: Access Point if runtime still diverges. Turning publish off clears the flag when unused.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added effective runtime-mode indicators for Reticulum interfaces.
    • MeshCore room history now catches up more reliably after login.
    • MeshCore advertisements can restore locally removed contacts and update contact details.
    • Radio ownership actions now use the correct active protocol.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Guest room login supports blank passwords for read-only access.
    • Improved cancellation, reconnect, and credential handling for room sessions.
    • Corrected MeshCore contact names, public-key recovery, and hop reporting.
    • Improved Reticulum mode preservation and configuration repair.
  • Documentation

    • Updated room login, synchronization, troubleshooting, and interface-mode guidance.

Stop substituting blank guest login with the older "hello" default so Login matches MeshCore guidance (try empty first).
Wire MeshCore setOwner (setAdvertName) into RadioPanel and prefill
from activeRuntime.deviceOwner so companion/repeater name can be set.

Fixes #860
… login

Parse meshcore.js reserved as the room ACL byte and document blank as read-only vs hello as default read/write guest password.
Register an outer abort for the full loginRoom op so Cancel works before SendLogin starts, not only while waiting on LoginSuccess.
Stop silently showing config Full while RNS runs Access Point: stamp the
upstream opt-out, surface runtime_mode when it diverges, and audit the clash.
Companion advert push is pubkey-only, so apply on-air ADVERT name and role to the store and revive tombstoned contacts. Hide MeshCore hex ids in the node detail modal.
Parse LoginSuccess permissions (not the legacy reserved flag), ignore sticky hops without a path, reset companion sync_since for ring catch-up after login, and translate room login errors in the UI.
…sync path

Cancel now interrupts TX-spacing and in-flight SendLogin; catch-up retries
companion restore after remove; auto-sync/reconnect reuse loginRoom. Also bump
@zip.js/zip.js from pnpm update.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change updates MeshCore room login, synchronization, contact persistence, and protocol-specific identity handling. It also adds Reticulum runtime-mode reconciliation and effective-mode reporting, updates related documentation and tests, and upgrades @zip.js/zip.js.

Changes

MeshCore room authentication and synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Room authentication contracts and UI
src/renderer/lib/meshcoreRoomSession.ts, src/renderer/lib/meshcoreRoomCredentialStorage.ts, src/renderer/components/RoomsPanel.tsx, src/renderer/components/RoomsPanel.test.tsx
Blank guest passwords are preserved for read-only login. ACL and legacy permissions determine room roles. Login and upgrade controls use separate validation.
Cancellable login and history synchronization
src/renderer/runtime/useMeshcoreRuntime.ts, src/renderer/lib/meshcoreRoomLoginQueue.ts, src/renderer/lib/meshcoreRoomLoginPathSync.ts
Login cancellation now covers routing, queue waits, retries, path synchronization, and catch-up recovery. Scheduler and reconnect flows reuse loginRoom.
Room key and route recovery
src/renderer/hooks/meshcore/meshcoreHookPreamble.ts, src/renderer/lib/meshcoreUtils.ts
Public keys are validated against node IDs. Mismatched keys are reloaded. Hop resolution requires a multi-hop route before using positive stored hop values.

MeshCore contact identity and advertisements

Layer / File(s) Summary
Protocol-specific owner actions and contact display
src/renderer/App.tsx, src/renderer/lib/appPanelHandlerSelection.ts, src/renderer/components/RadioPanel.test.tsx, src/renderer/components/NodeDetailModal.tsx
Owner-setting actions select the Meshtastic or MeshCore handler. MeshCore identity fields use the active runtime and sanitized contact names.
RF advertisement contact persistence
src/renderer/lib/meshcore/meshcoreRfRxRuntime.ts, src/renderer/lib/meshcore/meshcoreLiveContactPersist.ts, src/renderer/lib/meshcore/*.test.ts
RF advertisements update node identity, hardware type, route data, RF metadata, and persisted contacts. Advertisements revive locally deleted contacts and replace placeholder names.

Reticulum interface mode reconciliation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Interface mode configuration and data contracts
reticulum-sidecar/src/stack/types.rs, reticulum-sidecar/src/stack/config.rs, reticulum-sidecar/src/stack/live.rs, reticulum-sidecar/src/stack/via.rs, src/renderer/lib/reticulum/*
Interface rows carry optional runtime mode and ignore_config_warnings values through parsing, serialization, merging, persistence, and live polling.
Mode reconciliation, repair, and audit
reticulum-sidecar/src/stack/config.rs, reticulum-sidecar/src/stack/config_audit.rs, reticulum-sidecar/src/stack/mod.rs
Discoverable interfaces with rewrite-prone modes receive the warning opt-out. Startup repair and RMAP audits reconcile or report the setting.
Effective mode normalization and display
src/renderer/lib/reticulum/reticulumInterfaceMode.ts, src/renderer/components/reticulum/ReticulumInterfacesPanel.tsx
Live-stats mode aliases are normalized. The interface panel displays an effective-mode badge when configured and runtime modes differ.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 465fa

This PR changes room login, RF advert persistence, and Reticulum configuration behavior, but unresolved issues can cancel or duplicate logins, prevent history catch-up, mis-handle direct routes or node identity, lose newly heard names, and alter preserved configuration unexpectedly. The current head is not merge-ready until the major correctness and readiness issues are fixed.

575-590: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Derive multi-hop status from the trimmed route.

Line 575 checks the buffer length instead of the route length. A direct route such as new Uint8Array([0x42, 0, 0]) passes this check. Line 577 then trusts a stale positive hops_away value. Room login can select multi-hop behavior and reject a direct SendLogin.

Use inferred trimmed-path hops for hasMultiHopPath. Remove the raw outPathBytes.length > 1 fallback. Add a padded direct-route regression test.

Proposed fix
-  const hasMultiHopPath = Boolean(outPathBytes && outPathBytes.length > 1);
+  const inferredPathHops = outPathBytes
+    ? meshcoreInferHopsFromOutPath({ outPath: outPathBytes, outPathLen: -1 })

Keep cancellation state per queued job.

Line 72 clears the skip marker for an earlier job with the same nodeId. If a user cancels a pending or spacing-delayed login and immediately retries it, the canceled job can reach run() and send SendLogin. The replacement job then runs too.

Associate cancellation with a job token or AbortSignal, not only nodeId. Add a test that cancels a blocked job, immediately re-enqueues the same node, and verifies only the replacement runs.

21-29: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Let the job reach the spacing wait before you dequeue it.

await first on line 19 settles the chain. The enqueueMeshcoreRoomLogin(2, ...) call on line 22 then schedules the job body as a microtask, and that microtask has not run when line 23 calls dequeueMeshcoreRoomLogin(2). The job therefore observes the skip at the pending check and aborts before it ever computes the spacing wait.

The assertions still pass, but they pass through the pending-skip branch, not the interruptible spacing wait named in the test title. A regression in sleepMsUnlessSkipped would not fail this test.

Advance to the spacing wait first, then dequeue.

💚 Proposed fix
     const ranSecond = vi.fn(() => Promise.resolve());
     const second = enqueueMeshcoreRoomLogin(2, ranSecond);
+    // Let the job body start and enter the TX spacing wait before cancelling.
+    await vi.advanceTimersByTimeAsync(0);
+    expect(getMeshcoreRoomLoginQueueSnapshot().activeNodeId).toBe(2);

6323-6327: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Do not detect the timeout by matching the log string.

The catch decides to cancel the inner login by testing for the substring loginRoom timed out. That text is produced by withTimeout in src/shared/withTimeout.ts as `${label} timed out after ${ms}ms`, and it also passes through sanitizeLogMessage inside errLikeToLogString. If either the label or the message format changes, this branch stops matching. meshcoreCancelRoomLogin is then not called, so the queued SendLogin keeps running after loginRoom already reported failure.

Cancel on every non-abort failure instead. The inner queue already treats abort errors separately.

Add a test for the case where both add attempts fail.

The tests cover 'skipped' and 'reset'. They do not cover the branch at lines 104-110 of meshcoreRoomLoginPathSync.ts, where both restore attempts fail and the room contact stays removed from the companion table. That is the most damaging outcome of this feature, so it needs a guard.

Remove the duplicated guard.

Line 32 is logically identical to line 31. !A && !B && !C equals !(A || B || C). Line 32 can never return, so it is dead code. Keep one guard so a future edit cannot desynchronize the two conditions.

Inline comments:
In `@reticulum-sidecar/src/stack/config.rs`:
- Around line 795-813: Update reconcile_ignore_config_warnings so a non-empty
configured mode rejected by normalize_interface_mode returns without modifying
row.ignore_config_warnings. Preserve the existing behavior for recognized modes,
and add a regression test covering a discoverable interface with an unrecognized
mode and an existing opt-out flag.

In `@src/renderer/lib/meshcore/meshcoreRfRxRuntime.ts`:
- Around line 358-388: Move persistMeshcoreNodeInfoAfterAdvert before upsertNode
so fresh non-tombstoned RF adverts are persisted as new contacts via
saveMeshcoreContact rather than updated. Preserve the existing advert data and
contactType arguments, then continue the node-store and hop-merging updates
unchanged. Add a regression test covering a fresh non-tombstoned advert and
asserting saveMeshcoreContact is called.

In `@src/renderer/lib/meshcoreRoomLoginPathSync.ts`:
- Around line 43-45: Update the removeContact and addOrUpdateContact calls in
the meshcoreRoomLoginPathSync flow to invoke these methods with conn as their
receiver, preserving their this-dependent behavior. Keep the existing skipped
handling and add a regression test covering receiver-dependent companion methods
and successful radio command issuance.

In `@src/renderer/lib/meshcoreRoomSession.ts`:
- Around line 493-504: The session validation before meshcoreRoomLogin currently
rejects blank passwords for readwrite sessions, preventing recovery after
reconnect or synchronization. Update the relevant validation in the room-session
flow to reject an empty password only when mode is admin, while allowing an
explicit blank guest password for readwrite sessions; add a regression test
verifying that applying a blank readwrite session sends '' during post relogin.

In `@src/renderer/runtime/useMeshcoreRuntime.ts`:
- Around line 6470-6477: In src/renderer/runtime/useMeshcoreRuntime.ts lines
6470-6477, add a meshcoreIsRoomLoginQueued(target.nodeId) early-return guard
before loginRoom in the scheduler tick; add the same guard in
runRoomReconnectSync at lines 6588-6600 before its loginRoom call.

Outside diff comments:
In `@src/renderer/hooks/meshcore/meshcoreHookPreamble.ts`:
- Around line 885-890: Update the contact lookup path in the meshcore hook
preamble to validate the decoded SQLite public key with
meshcorePubKeyMatchesNodeId before returning it. Only return the database key
when it matches nodeId; otherwise continue the existing fallback behavior. Add
coverage for a valid 32-byte persisted key belonging to a different node ID.

In `@src/renderer/lib/meshcoreRoomLoginQueue.ts`:
- Around line 70-90: Track cancellation state per queued job rather than
clearing a shared skippedNodeIds marker by nodeId. Update the enqueue/run and
sleepMsUnlessSkipped flow in meshcoreRoomLoginQueue so a canceled pending or
spacing-delayed job aborts independently, while an immediate retry for the same
node proceeds; add a test covering cancel, immediate re-enqueue, and
verification that only the replacement sends SendLogin.

In `@src/renderer/lib/meshcoreUtils.ts`:
- Around line 575-590: Update the hop-resolution logic around hasMultiHopPath to
derive multi-hop status from the trimmed/inferred route rather than raw
outPathBytes.length, so padded direct routes are treated as direct and cannot
trust stale positive hops. Remove the raw-length fallback returning
outPathBytes.length minus one, and add a regression test covering a padded
direct route such as [0x42, 0, 0] during room login.

Other comments:
In `@docs/troubleshooting.md`:
- Line 924: Update the Auto-sync sentence in the troubleshooting documentation
to replace “to periodic re-login” with the grammatical “to periodically
re-login,” preserving the rest of the sentence.

In `@reticulum-sidecar/src/stack/live.rs`:
- Line 2505: Update both live-row builders that populate runtime_mode to return
None when s.online is false, while preserving
config::live_interface_runtime_mode(&s.mode) for online interfaces. Add coverage
verifying offline entries expose no runtime mode.

In `@src/renderer/components/RadioPanel.test.tsx`:
- Around line 115-178: Add accessibility coverage to both affected test suites:
in src/renderer/components/RadioPanel.test.tsx lines 115-178 and
src/renderer/components/NodeDetailModal.test.tsx lines 323-324, import axe from
vitest-axe, call hydrateAxeThemeColors(), run axe against each rendered
panel/modal subtree, and assert the result with toHaveNoViolations().

In `@src/renderer/components/RoomsPanel.tsx`:
- Around line 1290-1299: Translate each room’s auto-login failure with
translateMeshcoreUserMessage before constructing the sidebar markerTitle and
autoLoginFailedAria values, ensuring tooltips and accessible labels never
receive raw serialized messages or i18n keys. Add a sidebar assertion covering a
serialized failure while preserving strict typing and localized output.

In `@src/renderer/lib/meshcoreRoomLoginQueue.spacing.test.ts`:
- Around line 21-29: Update the test around enqueueMeshcoreRoomLogin and
dequeueMeshcoreRoomLogin so the second job first reaches its spacing wait before
being dequeued; use getMeshcoreRoomLoginQueueSnapshot to observe the waiting
state, then perform the dequeue and retain the existing abort and non-invocation
assertions.

Keep cancelled queue jobs from reviving on retry, persist fresh RF adverts as inserts, and leave unrecognized interface modes' ignore_config_warnings flag intact. Blank readwrite guest relogin, trimmed-path hop inference, and translated sidebar auto-login errors follow the same review pass.
