- mesh.rnode-config: persisted RF settings + best-effort live radio
state (radio-confirmed r_* values) for the LoRa panel.
- mesh.rnode-config-apply: validate → persist → restart the radio
daemon → poll the read-back until the radio reports online, returning
{applied, confirmed, live, message}. Failure modes report what
actually happened instead of pretending success.
- RebootRadio carries a reply channel: Meshtastic reboots firmware,
Reticulum restarts the sidecar (re-detect + reapply RF config),
MeshCore honestly reports it has no remote reboot — previously the
Reticulum/MeshCore arms returned Ok(()) doing NOTHING: the operator's
"button gives no feedback" bug.
- MeshCommand::QueryRadioState plumbs the sidecar's radio_state to the
service layer with a timeout instead of fire-and-forget.

The .126 LoRa panel's Rust half:
- mesh::rnode_settings: RNodeRfSettings persisted at
<data_dir>/rnode-rf-settings.json — every RNodeInterface parameter
(enabled, port override, frequency, bandwidth, sf, cr, txpower,
airtime_limit_short/long), validated against the bounds RNS itself
enforces. Defaults are byte-identical to the sidecar's historical
argparse defaults.
- FIRST-RUN ADOPTION (operator requirement: the update must change NO
device's applied settings): with no settings file yet, the node's
existing RNS config (~/.archy-reticulum, else ~/.reticulum) is parsed
and its RNodeInterface values adopted verbatim as the initial
settings — proven by a test carrying the operator's literal
"RNode LoRa Portugal" config.
- Serial spawns pass the settings as explicit sidecar args (frequency/
bandwidth/txpower/sf/cr + airtime locks); the operator port override
wins over auto-detect but still passes the KISS probe gate; a
disabled interface refuses to open with a readable error.
- ReticulumLink::query_radio_state(): asks the sidecar for the live
RNodeInterface state (radio-confirmed r_* values) — the panel's
apply-confirmation read-back source.

Peering a node was not enough to message it — you had to be in radio
range once before chat worked, which defeats the point of federating.
`send_message` chose its transport from the attached radio:
let use_typed_envelope =
archy && matches!(device_type, Meshcore | Reticulum);
Only the typed path knows about FIPS/Tor. Everything else fell through to
`peer_dest_prefix`, which resolves an over-the-air ROUTING key — so on a
node running Meshtastic, or with no radio at all, sending to a federated
peer failed. It only worked once a LoRa advert had created a radio twin
for the same archipelago identity, which is precisely the "connect on
LoRa first" the operator hit.
Federation contacts are reachable off-radio by definition — that is what
`upsert_federation_peer` records with `reachable: true` — so the
transport choice must not depend on which radio is plugged in. A
federation-synthetic contact id now always takes the typed path.
This loses no radio-first behaviour: `send_typed_wire` already prefers a
REACHABLE radio twin when the payload fits the frame, and only then falls
back to FIPS and Tor. The fix routes federation contacts INTO that logic
rather than around it.
Test pins the predicate across every device type, including the two that
failed (Meshtastic, Unknown), and asserts ordinary radio contacts and
stock clients still route exactly as before.

Tasks 1 and 2 of 01-04. This node's own shareable URI, and a mesh
message a peer uses to advertise theirs.
lnd.getinfo now deserializes identity_pubkey and uris, which its
response struct simply did not declare before (RESEARCH.md Pitfall 5).
The identity mapping is split into a pure map_identity() so it is
testable without a live LND. A pubkey that is not 66 hex characters maps
to None rather than being forwarded: the same rule lnd.openchannel
enforces, applied where the operator is reading their own node's
identity instead of at the moment they try to open a channel. An absent
field yields an honest absence — never a fabricated or placeholder
identity.
MeshMessageType::LightningInfo = 26 is additive on a wire format shared
with every fleet node: 26 was unused, so a peer that predates this fails
to decode it rather than mis-decoding it as something else. Its payload
is deliberately two fields — this rides LoRa, where every byte is paid
for on air, and the optional alias is skip_serializing_if so an absent
one costs nothing (asserted, not assumed).
is_valid_lightning_uri() validates before anything is stored, because
this is unauthenticated RF input: 66-hex pubkey, non-empty host, optional
numeric :port, exactly one '@'. It deliberately does NOT resolve or dial
the host — that would turn a received advertisement into an outbound
connection an attacker chose.
Two preservation hazards found while wiring MeshPeer.lightning_uri, both
of which would have silently emptied the picker:
- decode.rs's identity-advert path does a WHOLESALE insert, preserving
only advert_name and lat/lon by hand. Reticulum re-emits identity
adverts every announce tick, so a stored URI would have been wiped
about once a minute. Now preserved, alongside the same guard the name
and position already had.
- session.rs's refresh_contacts and mod.rs's federation seeding rebuild
the peer record wholesale too. Neither carries a Lightning datum, so
both now carry the previous value forward rather than nulling it.
A malformed inbound URI is rejected before the write, leaving any
previously stored good URI intact — otherwise anyone in range could
blank out a real peer's picker entry (T-01-12).
Verified: 5/5 new lnd::info tests, 18/18 mesh::message_types (5 new),
cargo check --all-targets clean.

Both sides independently fixed the serial-alias dedup and the ESP32
boot-reset races; kept the branch's defer-to-auto-detect for unpinned
preferred paths (single probe pass per cycle) on top of main's
advert-name threading, Reticulum name propagation and radio-first
routing. Modal keeps main's 'Set Recommended' naming + probe progress
bar alongside the branch's in-app firmware flasher step.

Two halves of the same twin-resolution gap, found live while testing
images between archi-dev-box and archy-x250-dev:
- peer_dest_prefix resolved the given contact row's own pubkey. For the
UI's merged conversation (the federation-synthetic id) that's the
Archipelago ed25519 identity key, NOT a radio routing key — so every
Reticulum resource send (images/files over LoRa) failed with 'Unknown
Reticulum prefix' while the UI showed the message as sent. It now
resolves through the radio twin (same arch identity, radio-range id).
- send_typed_wire sent EVERY federation-synthetic contact over the
federation path (FIPS→Tor), even with the same node one LoRa hop away.
Policy per operator: LoRa first when the payload fits and the radio
twin is reachable, then FIPS, then Tor. Verified live: text to the
merged contact now logs 'Radio-first routing' and lands with
transport=reticulum on the peer.
Also restyles the mesh-chat attachment download controls: the pre-fetch
button was a bare .btn that squished to text width in the narrow mobile
bubble; now a full-width glass pill with a download icon and fetch
spinner, and the on-image overlay swaps the emoji glyph for a crisp SVG
in a properly-sized glass circle.

Root causes found and fixed after live debugging on archi-dev-box (all
verified on real RNode hardware, archi-dev-box <-> archy-x250-dev E2E):
- probe_rnode raced the board's own boot: opening the port pulses DTR/RTS
through USB-UART bridges (CP2102/Heltec V3), the ESP32 power-cycles and
spends ~2.5-3s in boot ROM, and the KISS DETECT written 300ms after open
landed in the void — so an RNode could NEVER connect on these boards.
Now: immediate probe (fast path), then drain-until-quiet boot settle and
a second DETECT with a fresh response window.
- MeshService::configure() only restarted the listener on enable/disable —
device_kind/device_path/advert_name/RF-param changes were silent no-ops
until a full process restart (the setup modal's apply/keep-as-is did
nothing). Material config changes now bounce the listener; the open
sequence races the shutdown signal so stop() no longer burns the full
15s timeout mid-probe; mesh.configure applies in the background instead
of stalling every status poll behind the service write-lock.
- The mesh name was write-only: config.advert_name had no reader,
server.set-name never reached the mesh service, and Reticulum's
set_advert_name was a no-op (daemon display name fixed at spawn, and the
ARCHY:2 announce blob REPLACED the LXMF display name — every archy node
was anonymous on RNS). Now: advert_name > server name precedence feeds
the session, renames restart it live, the daemon gets --display-name at
spawn plus a set_name RPC verb, and announces carry the LXMF-standard
msgpack name with the identity blob appended as an extra list element
stock clients (Sideband/NomadNet) ignore.
- Dead reticulum-daemon was invisible for up to 30min (RX-stall watchdog):
child exit / RPC-EOF now fails try_recv_frame so the session reconnects.
- Setup modal re-trigger loop: plugged_at used the tty node's mtime, which
bumps on every open — each probe invalidated the dismissal key. Use
btime/ctime (only change on real plugs).
- ARCHY:2 identity adverts (re-emitted every 60s over Reticulum) stomped
the federation twin's real name with a synthetic Archy-… placeholder and
nulled its position; blob-only announces no longer assert a name, blob
strings can never become display names, and stale blob names are healed
at peers.json load.
- mesh.broadcast on Meshtastic sent heartbeat+time only (no identity);
SendAdvert now also fires a want_response NodeInfo broadcast.
- New mesh.refresh RPC: actively re-queries the radio contact table (the
UI Refresh button previously only re-read server caches).
- Reticulum peers now track last_advert (announce time) and mark existing
peers reachable on inbound traffic.
- Boot auto-enable no longer force-enables mesh when an operator
explicitly disabled it (only fires when no config file exists).

/dev/mesh-radio is a udev symlink to a ttyUSB*/ttyACM* node that is also
in SERIAL_CANDIDATES, so one board was detected, probed and DTR/RTS-reset
twice per reconnect cycle (and shown twice in the UI):
- detect_serial_devices() dedupes candidates by canonical path, keeping
the stable /dev/mesh-radio name
- auto-detect fallback skips the preferred path it just probed this cycle
instead of immediately resetting the same board again
- probe_device's active-session guard compares canonical paths, so a
probe via the alias can no longer open the tty the live session holds
Together with the 2s boot-settle and stable-session backoff gate, this
takes a plugged-in CP2102/ESP32 board from up to 9 reset events per
cycle at a permanent 5s retry floor down to one probe sequence per
backoff window — enough for the radio to actually finish booting.

Traced why a device that's alive and USB-enumerating correctly could still
never complete a single protocol handshake, indefinitely: journal logs
showed genuinely concurrent connection attempts on the same port
(duplicate "Opened serial port"/"Starting X handshake" lines within
microseconds of each other, from what should be sequential probe steps) —
two independent listener sessions were racing on the same tty, each
corrupting the other's reads/writes.
Root cause was in MeshService::stop() combined with mesh::flash's earlier
STOP_LISTENER_TIMEOUT fix: stop() calls `self.listener_handle.take()`
(clearing the field to None immediately) and then awaits the handle with
no bound of its own. When a caller wraps the whole stop() call in a
timeout (as the flash job does, to avoid hanging the RPC response), a slow
listener — mid multi-candidate probe when the shutdown signal arrives —
would cause that outer timeout to cancel the await. But by then
`listener_handle` was already None, so MeshService believed the listener
was stopped, while the actual task kept running, orphaned (dropping a
JoinHandle does not abort the task). A later start() then spawned a
genuinely new listener, racing the orphaned one forever on the same port.
Fixed at the source: stop() now awaits its own handle through a mutable
reference (not by value) with its own bounded timeout, so on timeout it
still owns the handle and can call .abort() on it directly — guaranteeing
the task is actually gone before stop() returns, regardless of how any
caller wraps it.

Traced a real "Operation failed" on the post-flash configure step: the
flash job's own post-completion code unconditionally called
MeshService::start() after configure(), regardless of the persisted
enabled flag. In this incident, the user had toggled mesh off shortly
before the flash (config.enabled saved as false), but the job's forced
start() ran anyway — leaving the listener actually running while
self.config.enabled stayed false. When the user then clicked "Keep As Is"
on the fresh post-flash probe, their mesh.configure call correctly saw a
false→true transition and tried to start the listener itself, hitting
"Mesh listener already running" — the listener had already been
force-started behind the config's back.
Two fixes:
1. The flash job now only restarts the listener if the freshly-loaded
config still says enabled — respecting a user's own concurrent choice
to disable mesh instead of silently overriding it.
2. MeshService::start() is now idempotent: finding the listener already
running is treated as success, not an error. Ensuring the listener is
running is what every caller actually wants; whichever caller's start()
wins a race, the other finding it already satisfied is the correct
outcome, not a failure to surface to the user.

Plugging in any LoRa radio now surfaces the device setup modal EVERY time
(dismissals clear on unplug; works while mesh is enabled; 2-poll debounce
so ordinary reconnect blips don't flash it), showing what's currently on
the stick before anything is written:
- mesh.probe-device RPC: identifies the firmware read-only in the same
Reticulum->Meshcore->Meshtastic order as auto-detect. Meshtastic yields
region/modem-preset/channels (want_config is a read); MeshCore yields
name/node-id + firmware version via the previously-unused
CMD_DEVICE_QUERY; RNode via the bare KISS DETECT (no daemon spawn).
Path must be a detected candidate port; the live session's port refuses.
- "Keep As Is": manage_radio=false persists in MeshConfig and the session
skips every on-connect config write (region, channel, PHY params, advert
name) — the radio runs exactly as flashed, hot-swappable.
- "Set Up with Archipelago Settings": second screen shows the params that
will be applied (channel, region, the node's persisted RF params - e.g.
the validated Portugal preset - with the per-region community plan as
fallback) before writing anything.
- Stale-type fix: disconnect now resets device_type/firmware_version, so
a swapped stick no longer shows the previous radio's firmware; probed
kind pins device_kind so the right probe runs first on connect.

Both lived only in RAM: every archipelago restart/reboot wiped the whole
chat history (user-reported), and — worse — reset the per-target outbound
sequence counters, so peers' (sender_pubkey, sender_seq) dedup silently
dropped the first messages sent after a reboot as replays.
mesh-messages.json in the data dir (0600 — DM plaintext), restored in
MeshService::new before the listener spawns; a 5s debounced persister
task snapshots at one choke point instead of hooking every mutation path
(store, delivered/transport/encrypted stamps, edits, deletes, prunes).
Atomic write-then-rename; corrupt/missing file skips restore instead of
blocking mesh startup.

Archy set no radio params on Meshcore devices — SF/CR/BW/freq lived only in
device firmware, so a radio on the wrong preset could not be fixed from the
node (it hears RF energy but demodulates nothing; the fleet hit exactly this
on an RNode: docs/RETICULUM-TRANSPORT-PROGRESS.md item 4).
- protocol.rs: build_set_radio_params — wire format verified against the
MeshCore companion firmware handler (CMD_SET_RADIO_PARAMS=11:
[11][freq:u32 LE MHz*1000][bw:u32 LE kHz*1000][sf][cr]); byte-layout test
pinned to the Portugal preset 869.618 MHz / 62.5 kHz / SF8 / CR8.
- serial.rs: MeshcoreDevice::set_radio_params (device reboots on OK).
- MeshConfig.lora_radio_params: Option — None (default) leaves the radio
untouched, so only explicitly-configured deployments are affected.
- session.rs: provision on connect, gated on a persisted last-applied marker
(SELF_INFO offsets shift across firmware versions) + the same attempt cap
as region/channel so a refusing radio never reboot-loops.
- mesh.configure RPC: lora_radio_params arm with firmware-range validation.
mesh tests: 114/114 pass.

Plugging in a LoRa radio now pops a global two-step setup modal on any
page: step 1 shows the ACTUAL detected board (25 board SVGs vendored
from the Meshtastic web-flasher, GPL-3.0; matched by USB product string
on native-USB boards, vid:pid heuristics for bridge chips, animated
fallback otherwise); step 2 configures with Archipelago presets — the
LoRa region pre-selected from the node's location (new lat/lon→region
mapping), channel 'archipelago', node name, and an advanced firmware
pin. Options adapt per protocol: region+channel program Meshtastic;
MeshCore shows its community frequency plan (firmware owns RF); RNode
defers to the Reticulum daemon config.
Backend: mesh.configure now accepts lora_region (validated against the
driver's region table) and device_kind (probe pin); mesh.status returns
the persisted values plus per-port USB identity (sysfs vid/pid/product)
for board identification. The Mesh Device tab gains a full settings
form (region with duty-cycle/legality hints, firmware pin, channel,
name, identity broadcast) replacing the read-only panel; the old
Mesh-page-only onboarding modal is superseded by the global flow.
Mock backend: stateful mesh config so the dev UI demos the full
detect→configure round-trip (disable mesh → modal fires with Heltec V3).

Adds an additive, loopback-only TCP server/client interface to
reticulum-daemon and the Rust mesh wiring, alongside the unchanged serial
RNode path. Aurora (~/aurora) already speaks standard RNS/LXMF over plain
TCP by default, the same way Sideband already proved interop over LoRa
(docs/RETICULUM-TRANSPORT-PROGRESS.md gates #2/#3) — this closes the gap so
that interop is provable without scarce LoRa hardware, and gives archy a
path to eventually be dialed by an Aurora client.
Verified: daemon TCP transport round-trip, bidirectional LXMF DM against a
scripted RNS/LXMF stand-in for Aurora's Dart stack (content + dest-hash
match both directions), cargo check/test -p archipelago green (108 mesh
tests, 0 regressions), and a real MeshService::start() end-to-end test
spawning the daemon in TCP client mode with no serial probe.
TCP server mode is hard-gated to loopback in both Python and Rust — WAN/LAN
exposure is a deliberate future decision, not part of this change.

update state, bitcoin relay, package install markers, server shutdown

New MeshDevicePanel.vue, added as a 4th/5th tab entry to activeTab/toolsTab/
mobileTab following the exact existing pattern (chat/bitcoin/deadman/
assistant/map). Shows firmware version, node ID, advert name, LoRa region,
channel, and device type -- firmware_version/self_node_id were already
server-side but never rendered; region is new (composed into MeshStatus from
MeshConfig.lora_region at read time, not part of the live session state).
Reboot button wired to the already-working mesh.reboot-radio RPC.

Backend: parse_mesh_packet now decodes MeshPacket.rx_snr (field 8, float) and
rx_rssi (field 12, int32), and a new POSITION_APP branch decodes Position.
latitude_i/longitude_i (fields 1/2, sfixed32) -- all field numbers confirmed
against the canonical meshtastic/protobufs mesh.proto, not guessed. Threaded
through ParsedContact -> refresh_contacts -> MeshPeer (mirroring how
pkc_capable was wired for #17), so mesh.peers now surfaces real rssi/snr/lat/
lon instead of always-null. Fixed a real bug found along the way:
update_node_info's unconditional contact replace would have silently wiped
any already-tracked signal/position data on the next NodeInfo packet -- now
preserves it.
Frontend: mesh.ts's updateNodePositionsFromPeers() feeds real position data
into the SAME nodePositions map MeshMap.vue already renders from (parallel to
the existing Coordinate/Alert-message path) -- MeshMap.vue itself needed zero
changes, it was already built for this.
105/105 mesh tests pass (4 new: rx_snr/rx_rssi decode, position decode +
incomplete-field handling, full packet_to_inbound_frame integration).

Merges in the meshtastic agent's now-finished work alongside this session's
continuation: stock-peer (3ccc) PKI-capability is now stamped through
get_contacts -> refresh_contacts -> MeshPeer.pkc_capable, so a directed DM to/from
a PKC-capable stock Meshtastic peer correctly shows the E2E pill on the Sent row,
not just received messages. Confirmed live: .198 sees "Meshtastic 3ccc" with
pkc_capable=true.
Also fixes two real interop/correctness bugs found while live-testing the
Reticulum <-> Sideband link:
- Receive: the daemon only ever read LXMF's plain-text content, silently
dropping native FIELD_IMAGE/FIELD_FILE_ATTACHMENTS fields — a stock
Sideband/NomadNet photo vanished into a blank-space message. Now decoded
into the same ContentInline typed envelope our own attachments use.
- Send: images to a non-archy (stock) peer now use native LXMF FIELD_IMAGE
instead of our own opaque CBOR wire format, which Sideband can't decode.
- Root cause of a garbled MC-chunk-fragment bug: TypedEnvelope.v/.sig (the
OUTER wrapper every message type uses) serialized raw bytes as a CBOR
array-of-integers instead of a native byte string, bloating every
message on the wire ~2-3.5x — enough to push even a tiny ReadReceipt
over the 140-byte single-frame chunking threshold. Root-caused by
reading ciborium's deserializer source directly (deserialize_bytes only
works within its internal scratch buffer; deserialize_byte_buf streams
unbounded).
Frontend: consolidated the attach/record buttons into a single animated "+"
menu (was overflowing the compose row).
857/857 tests pass. Verified live across all 5 deploy-roster nodes.

Phase 0 gates #2/#3 (two-node LXMF-over-LoRa, external Sideband interop) passed
on real hardware (.116's flashed Heltec V3 RNode <-> a phone-flashed RNode running
Sideband) — RNS announce, encrypted DM round-trip, and contact binding all verified
live. Fixed two bugs found in the process: the Reticulum send path wasn't stamping
outbound messages as E2E despite LXMF being unconditionally encrypted, and the
per-message transport pill collapsed Meshcore/Meshtastic into one generic "lora"
color instead of distinguishing the three radio transports.
Built on top of that link: a Columba-style image/file send experience —
compression-quality presets with a real transfer-time estimate (mesh.transport-advice,
now device-throughput-aware), receive-side thumbnail previews + auto-render for
already-local attachments, and async voice messages, all reusing the existing
ContentRef/ContentInline attachment pipeline. The headline addition is genuine RNS
Resource transfer support (daemon-side RNS.Link + RNS.Resource, Rust-side
send_resource/resource_recv plumbing, a new "resource-mesh" transport-advice tier)
so compressed photos up to 2MB now actually transfer over LoRa for Reticulum peers
instead of always falling back to Tor past the small inline-chunk cap.

archy went deaf to inbound LoRa packets after every config write.
A config write (region/channel/owner) reboots the radio, which resets
the firmware PhoneAPI to STATE_SEND_NOTHING; it won't stream received
packets again until the client re-sends want_config. archy ignored
FromRadio.rebooted (field 8) so never resubscribed — which is why old
messages only arrived after a full restart (restart = fresh want_config).
- meshtastic.rs: handle FROM_RADIO_REBOOTED -> set pending_reinit;
try_recv_frame re-sends want_config to resubscribe the packet stream.
Add send_keepalive (bare heartbeat) and pin modem_preset=LONG_FAST in
set_lora_region so all radios share frequency.
- listener/session.rs: MeshRadioDevice::send_keepalive; 10s sync_timer
sends a keepalive each tick (insurance vs 15-min idle serial close).
- mod.rs send_message: device-aware send — Meshtastic archy peers get a
plain TEXT_MESSAGE_APP DM (firmware PKC E2E); Meshcore archy peers keep
the typed envelope (no meshcore regression).
Verified: .198->.228 directed DM arrives as RECEIVED enc=True
peer="Arch Optiplex"; all 3 nodes (.116/.198/.228) + 3ccc hear each
other. Binary 737b16c3 deployed+active on all three.

- send_message now sends archy↔archy plain text as a native TEXT_MESSAGE_APP
DM (firmware PKC-encrypts E2E), not wrapped in the binary typed envelope
that silently broke archy↔archy LoRa delivery. Archy peers' Sent rows are
marked encrypted so the E2E pill shows; rich typed msgs still use the
typed-wire path.
- Add a software radio-reboot to recover a wedged/RX-deaf radio without
physical access (and for the Device-tab settings panel): driver reboot()
via AdminMessage reboot_seconds=97 (verified vs meshtastic/protobufs),
MeshCommand::RebootRadio, MeshService::reboot_radio, RPC mesh.reboot-radio.
- Handoff doc: docs/SESSION-1.8.0-OTA-PROGRESS.md "RESUME HERE" — RF link is

is the prime suspect; on-device Meshtastic-app check + fix plan documented.

Adds a per-message transport badge to archy↔archy mesh chats and fixes the
long-broken E2E badge — both meshcore and meshtastic, styled like the existing
E2E pill.
Transport pill:
- New `MeshMessage.transport` ("lora"/"fips"/"tor"), surfaced in the UI beside
the E2E badge (Mesh.vue transportLabel() → Mesh/FIPS/Tor, mesh-styles.css).
- Sent LoRa → "lora"; sent federation → finalized to the real leg ("fips"/"tor")
once the background send resolves (req.send_json transport), via an id-keyed
store update.
- Received: a post-dispatch stamp on handle_typed_envelope_direct's output
(monotonic ids) tags both transports without threading through all 20 typed-
dispatch sites — radio wrapper stamps "lora", federation injector stamps the
peer's last_transport ("fips"/"tor", default tor; the inbound HTTP carries no
FIPS-vs-Tor signal).
- Plain native/channel LoRa frames → "lora"; channel broadcasts stay non-E2E.
E2E pill fix:
- `encrypted` was hardcoded false at every MeshMessage construction site, so the
UI badge (Mesh.vue `v-if="msg.encrypted"`) never showed. Now: federation
envelopes are E2E (identity-signed over an encrypted transport); the meshcore
native-DM receive path already had a real `encrypted` flag (now also tagged
with transport). meshtastic-PKI radio E2E flag threading is a noted follow-up.
Backend cargo check + frontend vue-tsc build both green. Needs a live radio +
multi-transport pass on .116/.228 to confirm end-to-end (see
project_transport_pill / project_meshtastic_parity).

Fresh Meshtastic radios ship region-UNSET (RF-silent) and on mismatched
channels, so nodes only ever saw themselves. Bring them to MeshCore parity
using the official Meshtastic admin API:
- Auto-provision LoRa region (set_config, AdminMessage field 34) from a new
mesh-config `lora_region` (e.g. EU_868) when the radio's region differs.
- Auto-provision a shared primary channel (set_channel, field 33) with a
PSK derived deterministically from channel_name, so every node converges on
one mesh — the parity equivalent of MeshCore's named "archipelago" channel.
- Read current region/channel from want_config; only write when different
(no reboot loop); cap attempts so a radio that won't persist can't loop.
- Active NodeInfo advert scaffolding + aggressive serial drain.
Verified on .116+.228: region+channel persist, discovery works (both see each
other as named reachable contacts), bidirectional RF + sending confirmed.
Receiving in the running driver is still under diagnosis (instrumentation added).
Also removes the unwanted `meshtastic` daemon app from the registry (it was
never meant to be a container — native driver provides system-level support):
deletes apps/meshtastic + catalog entries (app-catalog, neode-ui, releases) +
test refs. Meshtastic stays native, like MeshCore.

A node reachable both over LoRa and federation has two MeshPeer rows (radio
twin: low contact_id + firmware key; federation twin: high contact_id +
archipelago key), and messages key by peer_contact_id split across the two ids
— so opening one twin shows an empty thread (the .120->.89 symptom).
- backend: new group_peer_twins() helper groups peers by arch_pubkey_hex (set on
BOTH twins by bind_federation_twins), keeps the radio id as the mesh-first
send target, and unions messages across all twin ids. Wired into
conversations.list / conversations.messages / mesh.contacts-list. +3 unit tests.
- frontend: the live chat list merges client-side (mergedPeers) and matched twins
by the "Archy-z6Mk..." advert prefix, which the Meshtastic device rename broke
(radio now advertises the server name). Merge by arch_pubkey_hex instead, which
the backend reliably sets on both twins. Expose arch_pubkey_hex on MeshPeer.
- fix unrelated stale test: EcashTransaction test missing the new `kind` field.

A !ai (or any typed message) from a trusted, federated node was denied when
it arrived over the radio. The radio half of a node that is also a federation
peer carried no archipelago identity (identity adverts are no longer broadcast
on the public channel), so the trusted_only gate and signature verification
had no key to check the asker against — and the same node showed up as two
contacts (a radio twin + a federation twin).
- bind_federation_twins(): correlate a radio contact with its federation twin
by exact, case-insensitive advert_name and copy the federation peer's
arch_pubkey_hex/did/x25519 onto the radio record. Called from
upsert_federation_peer and refresh_contacts. Ambiguous names (held by >1
federation peer) are skipped. This is only a CANDIDATE key — security is
unchanged: the inbound envelope signature must still verify against it.
- send_message now signs the typed Text envelope (new_signed) so a radio !ai
authenticates against the bound key. A meshcore node merely named like a
trusted node cannot forge the signature, so it is still denied.
Receiver-side verification (handle_typed_envelope_direct) and federation-trust
matching (is_sender_allowed) already existed; this supplies the missing key
binding and signature. Also resolves the radio/federation duplicate-contact
display for same-named nodes.

Messages to a federated peer that is out of LoRa range (e.g. on another
continent) were dropped into the radio with no fallback, or hung on a dead
FIPS path before reaching Tor — so they never arrived.
- Route a radio contact over the federation transport (FIPS->Tor) when it is
the same node as a federated peer (known archipelago identity -> onion) AND
it is not currently reachable over the radio. Reachable radio peers stay on
the mesh (preferred); oversized/file envelopes still always take federation.
- Resolve the onion via the archipelago identity key (arch_pubkey_hex), not
the firmware routing key, so a radio contact maps to its nodes.json onion.
- Add .fips_timeout(8s) to the federation message POST so an unreachable FIPS
overlay fast-fails to Tor (~3-5s) instead of burning the 120s budget.

UI (this session):
- Global audio player now scales the whole interface into the space above it
on desktop (sidebar + main) and docks directly above the tab bar on mobile;
it stays visible while navigating.
- Mesh mobile redesign: floating Chat / BTC / Dead Man / AI / Map tab strip
with a single fixed, internally-scrolling pane (page no longer scrolls);
tabs hide while a conversation is open; floating back button; collapsible
Device panel (starts collapsed); keyboard-aware conversation sizing via
VisualViewport so the chat sits just above the keyboard.
- Cloud file grid: uniform 4/3 card heights (folders + images match).
- Swipe left/right switches tabs on the Apps and Web5 screens.
- Map tool fills its pane (no bottom gap); fix skewed Share Location toggle
on mobile (global min-height rule was deforming the switch).
- Trim redundant helper copy from the mesh AI tab.
Also bundles pre-existing in-progress work that was already in the tree:
mesh listener/session + wallet + container + bitcoin-status backend changes,
docker UI updates, and assorted other UI tweaks.

- DMs now use native meshcore unicast (CMD_SEND_TXT_MSG) instead of @DM2 channel
broadcasts: private (E2E-encrypted to the recipient pubkey by firmware), off the
public channel, and decodable by stock clients. Plain text (split, not MC-chunked)
to non-archipelago contacts; typed envelopes to archy peers.
- !ai replies now DM the asker privately (RadioDm) instead of broadcasting on ch0.
- Auto contact-import: a heard advert (PUSH_CONTACT_ADVERT/0x80, 32-byte pubkey) is
added via CMD_ADD_UPDATE_CONTACT (0x09) so contacts appear without a flood advert.
- clear-all now DELETES firmware contacts via CMD_REMOVE_CONTACT (0x0F) instead of
blocklisting; blocking filter removed entirely. Wiped contacts return when reachable.
- Contact reachability: MeshPeer carries last_advert + reachable (path-based); UI shows
a reachability dot.
- Peers list: contact search box (filter by name/DID/npub/pubkey) with a clear button.
- send_message routes stock contacts as plain native text (fixes garbled envelopes).

- mesh: stop broadcasting ARCHY:2 identity on the public channel (startup + every advert tick); receive path still parses inbound. No more public-channel spam.
- mesh assistant: trigger on !ai/!ask typed in 1:1 chat (was only the dead AssistQuery path + bare channel text); route the reply transport-aware via MeshService::send_message (Tor for federation peers, LoRa for radio) through a new AssistChatReply event consumed at the server layer — fixes replies never reaching federation askers.
- mesh assistant: per-contact !ai allowlist (allowed_contacts) bypassing trusted_only; config + RPC + is_sender_allowed.
- fedimint-clientd manifest: network_policy open -> bridge (invalid value made the loader skip the whole manifest, so fmcd never ran and federations never joined/listed).
- ui: AI panel — Claude model dropdown (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus presets) + allowlist contact picker.
- ui: Settings — App Updates + App Registry moved under Account.
- ui: mesh chat — overscroll-behavior: contain so chat scroll no longer bleeds to the contacts panel.

Adds the assistant scheduler, MeshAssistantPanel UI, and the remaining
config-RPC / live-toggle / Ollama-detect wiring on top of Phase 1.x.

Phase 2 backend. AssistantConfig is now live-updatable (RwLock) so the UI
toggle applies without a listener restart. New RPCs:
- mesh.assistant-status -> {enabled, model, trusted_only, default_model,
ollama_detected, models[]} (probes local Ollama :11434/api/tags)
- mesh.assistant-configure -> set enabled/model/trusted_only live + persist
MeshService::assistant_config / configure_assistant. Compiles clean.

federation.remove-node only edited nodes.json, so a removed/renamed node
(e.g. a stale "Arch HP") lingered in the mesh chat list with its old
thread. Capture the node's pubkey before removal, then purge its
synthetic mesh peer, shared secret, messages, presence, and persisted
contact entry via the new mesh::purge_federation_peer. Combined with the
#42 name refresh, stale federation contacts can now be fully cleaned from
a node.

Messaging a federation-only peer (e.g. 'Arch Dev') failed with 'Missing
contact_id'. The UI gave federation-only rows a *negative* placeholder
contact_id derived from a DID hash, but the backend parses contact_id as u64,
so a negative value deserialized to None. The negative id also never matched
the positive federation-synthetic id that federation-routed messages are stored
under, so those threads looked empty.
- Frontend: derive the SAME positive federation-synthetic id the backend uses
(federationContactId mirrors federation_peer_contact_id) so mesh.send accepts
it and messages thread correctly.
- Backend: send_typed_wire now resolves a federation-synthetic contact_id from
nodes.json when it isn't in the live mesh peer table (radio-less node),
instead of bailing 'Unknown federation peer'.

User: chat history (messages + mesh/Tor contacts) must persist and be
secure/encrypted per best practice. Root cause of the .198 loss was the B17
mount race writing empty stores over real data (B17 already fixes the trigger);
this hardens storage so it can never silently lose or expose data:
- storage_crypto: shared at-rest envelope mirroring credentials::store — key =
SHA-256(domain ‖ node identity key) (seed-derived, per-store domain
separation), ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD with a random 96-bit nonce, tamper-evident.
Transparent migration of legacy plaintext files. Unit-tested (round-trip,
wrong-key/tamper rejection, plaintext detection).
- messages.json: encrypted at rest + ATOMIC write (temp+rename) so a crash/
reboot mid-write cannot corrupt history; decrypt-with-migration on load; a
failed decrypt never overwrites the on-disk data.
- mesh contacts (alias/notes/pinned/blocked): were ONLY in memory and lost on
every restart — now persisted to mesh-contacts.json (encrypted, atomic),
loaded on MeshState startup, saved after contacts-save/contacts-block.
Explicit clear (mesh.clear-all) still wipes everything, as intended.

B1/B2: the same physical node can linger in the federation list under two
dids (e.g. after a did/key change). An onion is a node's unique stable
identity, so two entries with the same onion are one node. This showed the
node twice in the trusted-node list (B1) and as two mesh chat contacts —
one by name+logo, one by raw did (B2).
- storage::load_nodes now collapses same-onion entries (keep first, merge
fips_npub/name/last_state) so every consumer (list + chat seed + sync)
sees one entry per node.
- federation::sync merge_transitive_peers also matches by onion (not just
did) so new transitive hints don't re-add a known node under a new did.
- mesh::seed_federation_peers_into_mesh skips already-seeded onions (belt
and suspenders).
- Unit tests for dedup_nodes_by_onion (collapse + onion-suffix handling).
B4: filebrowser-client.listDirectory only checked res.ok before res.json(),
so when File Browser is absent (nginx serves the SPA index.html, 200) or
down (502) the JSON parse threw the opaque "Unexpected token '<'". Now it
checks the content-type and throws a friendly "File Browser is not
available" the Cloud view already renders as an empty state.
Verified: dedup unit tests 2/2; live .198 (15 entries→13 distinct onions)
restarted healthy on new binary; B4 guard present in built bundle + deployed.

Adds a user-configurable toggle for how each peer-to-peer service
reaches federated peers. Three options per service:
- Auto (default) — FIPS preferred, Tor fallback (current behavior).
- FIPS only — fail rather than fall through to Tor.
- Tor only — explicit opt-in to onion anonymity for that service.
Services covered (matching the UI rows):
- Federation — state sync, invites, peer notifications
- Peers — address/DID rotation broadcasts
- Peer Files — content catalog download/browse/preview
- Messaging — archipelago channel + mesh bridge
- Mesh File Sharing — content_ref blob fetches
Implementation:
- settings::transport — persisted struct + process-wide OnceLock handle
(so deep call sites don't need data_dir threaded through signatures).
On-disk file: <data_dir>/settings/transport_preferences.json; missing
or corrupt → defaults (Auto everywhere).
- settings::transport::init() called from main.rs after config load.
- fips::dial::PeerRequest gains a .service(kind) builder; send_* checks
the preference before choosing a transport. FIPS-only fails loudly
when FIPS is unavailable (so users who pick it know when something
falls back).
- Every FIPS-first migration site tags its PeerRequest with the
matching PeerService so the toggle actually applies.
- transport.preferences + transport.set-preference RPCs added; wired
into the dispatcher.
- neode-ui/src/views/settings/TransportPrefsCard.vue — standalone card
with a 5-row Auto/FIPS/Tor tri-state. Not wired into Settings.vue —
the user places components themselves (see feedback_ui_entry_points).

Migrates the remaining Tor-direct peer call sites to PeerRequest so
FIPS is the default when the peer is federated and running the daemon:
- node_message::send_to_peer / check_peer_reachable: gain a
fips_npub parameter. Error messages updated to reference both
transports.
- Callers (api/rpc/network.rs, api/rpc/peers.rs, server health
loop): look up fips_npub from federation storage by onion and
pass it.
- mesh::send_typed_wire_via_federation: the spawned background POST
for the /archipelago/mesh-typed endpoint now uses PeerRequest with
federation-resolved fips_npub. Signature domain unchanged.
- api/rpc/mesh/typed_messages.rs fetch_blob_from_peer: blob URL
rebuilt as (base_url, path_with_query) so PeerRequest can append
the query string after swapping the host. Cap/exp/peer
parameters are still signed over the content ref itself, so
transport choice is invisible to the signature.
- network/dwn_sync.rs sync_with_peers: per-peer fips_npub lookup
before sync_single_peer; health/pull/push each dial through
PeerRequest, so any DWN peer known to federation gets FIPS.
Left Tor-only on purpose:
- api/rpc/identity/handlers.rs handle_identity_resolve_peer_onion —
resolving TO a DID, no anchor yet.
- content.browse / preview calls to non-federated peers fall
through to Tor naturally inside PeerRequest (no fips_npub → skip
FIPS branch).
