+### SharedFlow + backgroundScope in `runTest`
+
+When testing long-lived coroutines (e.g., `Flow.collect` loops launched in `backgroundScope`), **use `runTest(UnconfinedTestDispatcher())`** instead of plain `runTest`:
+
+```kotlin
+// ❌ BAD — SharedFlow emissions silently never reach collectors
+@Test fun `inbound packet is forwarded`() = runTest {
+    backgroundScope.launch { sut.start(backgroundScope) }
+    sharedFlow.emit(packet)
+    // assertion fails — collector never receives the emission
+}
+
+// ✅ GOOD — UnconfinedTestDispatcher eagerly dispatches subscriber resumptions
+@Test fun `inbound packet is forwarded`() = runTest(UnconfinedTestDispatcher()) {
+    backgroundScope.launch { sut.start(backgroundScope) }
+    sharedFlow.emit(packet)
+    // assertion passes — collector receives emission immediately
+}
+```
+
+**Why:** `backgroundScope` uses `StandardTestDispatcher` by default, which does **not** eagerly dispatch `SharedFlow` subscriber resumptions. Even `advanceUntilIdle()` won't trigger delivery. `UnconfinedTestDispatcher()` fixes this by dispatching eagerly. This affects any test where a coroutine in `backgroundScope` collects from a `SharedFlow` or `MutableSharedFlow`.

 - `docs-only` changes: Usually no Gradle run required, but run `spotlessCheck` if practical.

+
+/**
+ * Removes bloat elements from the `<detail>` content of a CoT event before it is stuffed into a
+ * [org.meshtastic.proto.TAKPacketV2] `raw_detail` field for mesh transmission.
+ *
+ * # Why this exists
+ *
+ * A LoRa mesh packet has a hard payload limit of [org.meshtastic.proto.Constants.DATA_PAYLOAD_LEN] = 233 bytes for the
+ * entire encoded `Data` proto (portnum + payload + reply_id + emoji). Subtracting the wrapper overhead leaves roughly
+ * **~225 bytes** for the TAK wire payload, and the wire payload itself is `[1 byte dict-id flag][zstd-compressed
+ * TAKPacketV2 protobuf]`.
+ *
+ * ATAK emits CoT events with rich visual metadata that is **never useful over a mesh**: icon set paths, ARGB colors,
+ * shape geometry, archive flags, file references, etc. A typical `u-d-c-c` (user-drawn circle) event from ATAK is
+ * **800+ bytes of XML**, of which maybe 80 bytes are actually meaningful to a receiving node. Even with dictionary
+ * compression, the full payload overflows the MTU.
+ *
+ * This stripper deletes elements the receiving node can synthesize or ignore, leaving only the minimum needed to
+ * rebuild a usable `<event>` on the other side: who sent it, where they are, what team/role they're on, battery status,
+ * chat content, and the high-level CoT type (which rides separately on [TAKPacketV2.cot_type_id] /
+ * [TAKPacketV2.cot_type_str]).
+ *
+ * # What gets dropped
+ *
+ * **Cosmetic / rendering-only** (pure visual, no situational awareness value):
+ * - `<color .../>` — ARGB stroke/fill colors
+ * - `<strokeColor .../>`, `<strokeWeight .../>`, `<fillColor .../>` — shape styling
+ * - `<labels_on .../>` — label visibility toggle
+ * - `<usericon .../>` — icon set path (`COT_MAPPING_2525B/...`)
+ * - `<model .../>` — 3D model reference
+ *
+ * **Geometric detail** (we keep lat/lon on the event; shape primitives are too big):
+ * - `<shape>...</shape>` — ellipse/polyline/polygon geometry
+ * - `<height .../>`, `<height_unit .../>` — rendering hints
+ *
+ * **Resource references** (useless without the resource being reachable):
+ * - `<fileshare .../>` — file transfer references
+ * - `<__video .../>` — video stream URL
+ *
+ * **Flags and redundant metadata**:
+ * - `<archive/>` — "save to archive" flag
+ * - `<precisionlocation .../>` — redundant with the event's `<point>` attributes
+ * - `<tog .../>` — rectangle "toggle" UI state flag
+ * - `<_flow-tags_ .../>` — TAK Server routing metadata (server-to-server, not needed on mesh)
+ *
+ * # What gets preserved
+ *
+ * Anything the stripper doesn't explicitly match is passed through untouched. That includes all of the structured
+ * elements that the regular [CoTXmlParser] understands (contact, __group, status, track, remarks, __chat, chatgrp,
+ * link, uid, __serverdestination) plus any unknown extensions — better to over-preserve than silently drop something
+ * the receiving ATAK actually needs.
+ *
+ * # Whitespace
+ *
+ * All inter-element whitespace and indentation is collapsed. Whitespace inside text nodes (e.g. `<remarks>hello
+ * world</remarks>`) is preserved.
+ *
+ * # Not a real XML parser
+ *
+ * This is intentionally string/regex based, not DOM. The input is a small, well-formed fragment produced by ATAK's
+ * serializer, so a full parser is overkill — and we want this to be dependency-free so it can run on every KMP target
+ * without pulling in xmlutil for a one-off job. If ATAK starts emitting namespaced elements or embedded CDATA that
+ * tangles with these patterns, the stripper will leave them alone rather than corrupt the output, which is the safer
+ * failure mode.
