170-170: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winRequire a MessagePack string for
path.
value_as_stringconverts Boolean, Integer, F64, and Binary values. A request such as{path: true, key: nil}can therefore requesttrue.webp. This contradicts the documented/mediacontract that rejects a non-stringpath.Use a
rmpv::Value::Stringmatch in this branch instead ofvalue_as_string.Proposed fix
- let Some(p) = value_as_string(&v) else { + let rmpv::Value::String(p) = &v else { return Err(NomadError::InvalidPath( "media request path must be a string".into(), )); }; - path = Some(p); + let Some(p) = p.as_str() else { + return Err(NomadError::InvalidPath( + "media request path must be a string".into(), + )); + }; + path = Some(p.to_owned());🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

- Around line 128-131: Update run_cgi and the CGI launch/wait flow to create the
process in its own process group, then terminate that entire group before
joining the stdout reader, including when the direct child exits normally or
times out. Preserve the existing reader panic and I/O error handling while
ensuring descendants cannot keep the pipe open indefinitely.
In `@crates/nomad-core/src/node.rs`:
- Line 559: Remove the synchronous run_cgi call from the serve_page LinkManager
handler. Route CGI execution through an asynchronous handler, queue, or separate
process so the callback returns without waiting for Child::try_wait or its sleep
loop; do not use spawn_blocking if the handler still waits for its result.

Do not execute CGI in the synchronous LinkManager handler
When executable pages are enabled, serve_page calls run_cgi directly. run_cgi polls Child::try_wait and sleeps for up to 10 seconds. This blocks the LinkManager event loop and delays other link events. MAX_IN_FLIGHT_REQUESTS does not make this synchronous callback concurrent.
Add an asynchronous handler API or isolate CGI behind a queue or process before enabling this path. Calling spawn_blocking and waiting for its result inside the callback does not solve the event-loop block.

Kill CGI process groups before joining stdout so descendants cannot hold the pipe open; reject non-string MessagePack path values in /media requests.

* feat(nomad): NomadNet 1.4.1 micron images, collapsibles, and /media fetch
Parse `(…)` image tags and `+>`/`->` collapsible headings in the Micron
parser, then load WebP via a dedicated sidecar /media Link query
({path, key: nil}) instead of /file downloads. Pin rsReticulum and
rsNomad tips that expose encode_media_request and identity-aware handlers.
* feat(nomad): open rrc:// hub links from Micron pages
Parse NomadNet-style rrc:// and rrc@ shorthands, switch to the RRC tab,
and connect/join via the existing session store (room join after hub is live).
* feat(rrc): render micron and light markdown in chat bodies
Route formatted RRC message bodies through the shared XSS-safe micron
renderer; keep plain IRC text on the existing mention/linkify path.
* feat(nomad): NomadNet 1.4.1 /media sidecar fetch and micron image/collapse parse
Wire encode_media_request through GET /api/v1/nomadnetwork/media/{hash},
parse `(…)` images and `+>`/`->` collapsibles in Micron, and pin rsReticulum
+ rsNomad tips that provide the media request codec and ACL-aware handlers.
* feat(reticulum): add InterfaceProfiles enable-set presets
Named local presets for which RNS interfaces are enabled (NomadNet
InterfaceProfiles parity), wired into the Interfaces panel with a restart hint.
* chore(reticulum): track rsNomad #8 in pnpm update stack PR list
Clear RS_NOMAD_REF when Colorado-Mesh/rsNomad#8 merges.
* feat(nomad): render # mesh-client: hint comments NomadNet hides
Older NomadNet treats # lines as invisible comments. Surface
# mesh-client: tips as a wrapped banner with optional → /page link,
and inherit page align for images when a= is omitted.
* style(nomad): prettier mesh-client hint return in micron-parser
* fix(nomad): hide Micron tips whose fg matches page background
Stop surfacing # mesh-client: banners. Mark FT colors equal to #!bg
and clip them so truecolor clients (including mesh-client) do not show
the progressive Site looks odd tip; respect inline link colors over
amber defaults.
* fix(nomad): harden media bind, profiles, and RRC deep links
Abortable pooled /media fetches (including partial subtrees), stop
InterfaceProfile applies on toggle failure without inventing Default,
join rrc:// rooms only when active, and tighten link/hash parsing.
