Tom e09b961f39 docs(agents): exempt test headers from the two-line comment limit (#11742)
* docs(agents): exempt test headers from the two-line comment limit

The one-or-two-line comment rule rests on "the diff and commit message
carry the rationale". For a test that premise is false. A test outlives
the PR that added it, and the next person to read it is reading it
because it failed - months later, in someone else's change, with the
original discussion out of reach. That reader has one decision to make:
real regression, or an expectation that has gone stale? The assertions
alone cannot answer it, so the justification has to live in the file.

The new "Test comments" section requires three things of a test header -
what is under test by symbol and file, why that behavior is required, and
the specific regression that returns if the assertions are deleted or
relaxed - and grants whatever length they need.

Authoritative statement lives in that section of
.github/copilot-instructions.md, anchored at #test-comments. AGENTS.md
and CLAUDE.md link to it rather than restate it. The test/** entry in
.coderabbit.yaml carries the one permitted copy, since a YAML instruction
cannot follow a link.

This documents existing practice rather than changing it: 57 of the 72
suites with a test_main.cpp already open with three or more comment
lines, test/test_gps_fix_hold/test_main.cpp with eleven. The rule as
written forbade all of them, and automated reviewers acted on it.

Scoped to the single comment bullet, not to the whole "General Style"
section. Unlike "Naming Conventions", that section also holds the logging
tiers and the Throttle rule, which bind test code as hard as src/; a
blanket preamble would have quietly exempted tests from millis()
discipline as well.

The exception is bounded. The CodeRabbit entry still flags narrative that
carries no contract - debugging journey, changelog prose, restating what
the assertions plainly do - and per-case comments that merely repeat the
test name. The documentation-does-not-live-here rule is untouched.

* docs(agents): cut the test-comment rule to its essential statements

A section about comment length had no business running to 373 words.

Canonical section down to 194: dropped the elaboration of why the commit
message is unavailable, the aside about which bullet reviewers most often
cut, the "not licence for narrative" preamble, and the closing flourish.
What remains is what an agent has to act on - the premise that fails for
tests, the three things a header states, the instruction to reject a
shorten-this review comment, and the worked example.

Pointer files carry scope, not argument. The AGENTS.md bullet is one
sentence and a link, matching the Test naming pointer directly above it.

The .coderabbit.yaml copy keeps its imperatives, since a YAML instruction
cannot follow the link to find them, but loses the causal explanation it
did not need in order to act.

Thomas Göttgens 5b987d4897 docs(agents): document the test naming rules and why camelCase does not apply (#11734)
* docs(agents): document that test names are snake_case, not camelCase

Automated reviewers repeatedly ask for test suite directories and test_*
functions to be renamed to camelCase to match the src/ convention. That
rename breaks the harness and the rule was never written down.

Authoritative statement lives in the "Test naming" section of
.github/copilot-instructions.md, anchored at #test-naming. AGENTS.md and
CLAUDE.md link to it rather than restate it.

bin/run-tests.sh enumerates suites with -name 'test_*' but matches
PlatformIO verdict lines against test_[a-z0-9_]+, lowercase only, so an
uppercase suite directory is counted missing and the run reports AMBER
instead of GREEN. RUN_TEST in test/TestUtil.h passes #func to Unity and to
the state-checkpoint hooks, making the function name the only attribution a
CI failure carries.

.coderabbit.yaml gains a test/** path_instruction stating the rule inline,
since YAML cannot follow the link.

* docs(agents): separate the suite-directory and test-function naming rules

Review feedback on the previous commit was correct on both points.

The section called the test-function form snake_case while every example used
camelCase segments. The tree holds 743 test functions with an uppercase segment
and 675 without, so snake_case was wrong for more than half of them. Split the
two rules that were conflated: suite directories are strictly test_[a-z0-9_]+,
while test functions require only the test_ prefix and underscore separators,
with segment case free. States what is actually forbidden - dropping the prefix,
or collapsing the segments into one camelCase identifier.

The canonical-copy policy forbade restating the rule anywhere, then restated it
in AGENTS.md and .coderabbit.yaml. Name the YAML entry as the single permitted
copy, since a YAML instruction cannot follow a link, and reduce the AGENTS.md
bullet to a pointer.

* docs(agents): make the AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md pointers neutral

Both still carried the "snake_case, not camelCase" label that b4fdd9168
corrected in the canonical section, so an agent reading either pointer got the
whole-name rule the canonical section now rejects. Describe the scope instead of
restating the rule: the src/ naming rule does not apply under test/.

fdb644e0b7 Fix millis() rollover in deadline, interval, and timestamp handling (#11291)
* Add native test coverage for the UptimeClock monotonic seam

src/UptimeClock.{h,cpp} shipped without a dedicated test suite. Port the six
tests from the monotonic-time branch (test/test_time), retargeted to the
renamed header.

The wrap test crosses 0xFFFFFFFF via advanceTestMillis() rather than a second
setTestMillis(): setTestMillis() sets clockSourceChanged, which makes
getMillis64() rebase its accumulator and swallow the wrap.

* NextHopRouter: fix 49.7-day millis() rollover in retransmission timing

Resolves the "FIXME, handle 51 day rolloever here!!!" in
NextHopRouter::doRetransmissions() by switching the retransmission-due
comparison from plain unsigned <= to a signed-difference cast.

The previous p.nextTxMsec <= now comparison silently breaks across the
~49.7 day millis() wraparound: pending retransmissions either stall
for the remainder of the wrap window, or all fire simultaneously at
the rollover boundary. Long-running router/infrastructure nodes do hit
this in practice.

The replacement (int32_t)(p.nextTxMsec - now) <= 0 is the standard
Arduino/embedded idiom for rollover-safe deadline checks and behaves
identically to the original for any non-wrap timing.

* Address Copilot review: use unsigned half-range for rollover-safe retransmit check

Review feedback from @Copilot on PR #10227: casting a uint32_t
subtraction to int32_t is implementation-defined in C++ when the
unsigned value exceeds INT32_MAX (even though it works on typical
two's-complement targets).

Switch to the fully well-defined unsigned half-range form:
  nextTxMsec is in the past-or-equal iff (now - nextTxMsec) has not
  wrapped past 2^31 ms. Future offsets < 2^31 ms wrap into the top
  half and read as 'not yet'.

Same semantics as the signed-cast version on every two's-complement
platform we care about, but portable to any conforming C++ impl.

* Use monotonic time for airtime windows

* Document monotonic airtime windows

* Fix test_packet_signing sentinel that #10227's rollover fix inverts

test_C3_invalid_repeated_packet_cannot_ack_or_change_retry_state parked a
pending packet at nextTxMsec = UINT32_MAX to mean "never retransmit", then
asserted that a rejected repeated packet leaves the retry state untouched.

NextHopRouter::doRetransmissions() now tests whether a retransmit is due with
an unsigned half-range compare, (uint32_t)(now - nextTxMsec) < 0x80000000u,
so that retransmission timing survives the ~49.7 day millis() wrap. Under it
now - 0xFFFFFFFF == now + 1, a small positive delta, so UINT32_MAX reads as
~1ms in the past: the retransmit fires and rewrites nextTxMsec, and the test
failed with "Expected 4294967295 Was 6247".

Use a representable future time instead. Production is unaffected either way -
nextTxMsec is only ever written as millis() + d, and UINT32_MAX came from the
test harness alone - so the sentinel is what needs to go, not the comparison.
Special-casing UINT32_MAX in the retransmit path would keep a value that reads
as "expired" under any wrap-correct compare.

The value is held in a local because millis() advances across
runPipelineIngress(), so recomputing it at the assertion would compare against
a different number.

Reported upstream on meshtastic/firmware#10227, whose branch predates this test.

* Make Throttle time-injectable and add hasElapsed()

Throttle backs ~94 call sites, which makes it the highest-leverage place in
the tree to put the clock seam: reading Time::getMillis() instead of millis()
in its three call sites turns all of them into time-injectable code at once,
without touching any of them. The 32-bit millis() wrap is not otherwise
reachable from a native test.

The read is behaviour-preserving - Time::getMillis() returns millis() unless a
test injects a clock - and the full native suite passes with it live.

Also add hasElapsed(), the complement of isWithinTimespanMs(), because 51 of
the 94 call sites are spelled !isWithinTimespanMs and read poorly. Its
boundary is inclusive (>=) since isWithinTimespanMs uses <; both are
documented. It deliberately does not treat lastExecutionMs == 0 as "never
run": call sites pair that test with the interval check themselves, and
absorbing a sentinel into the one helper every module depends on is exactly
the value-overloading hazard being removed elsewhere.

Migrating the existing !isWithinTimespanMs sites is cosmetic and deliberately
left out of this commit.

test/test_throttle/ covers window semantics, both boundaries, the complement
identity, execute()'s first-run and throttled paths, and - the point of the
exercise - a window opened before the wrap closing correctly after it,
including at the 24h interval that is the longest in the tree.

* Stop disarmed deadline sentinels reaching the comparison

Two deadline variables encoded "inactive" as a magic value that only reads as
"never" because the comparison against it is a naive millis() compare. Under
any rollover-correct comparison both invert to "expired ~49 days ago", so they
have to be untangled before those comparisons can be fixed.

Power::reboot() set rebootAtMsec = -1 on platforms with no reboot
implementation, intending "never fire". Every reader already treats 0 as the
disarm value - powerCommandsCheck() tests `if (rebootAtMsec && ...)`, and
AdminModule writes 0 to cancel - so -1 was both wrong and unnecessary. Use 0.
Left as UINT32_MAX it would reboot-loop the moment the comparison is corrected.

ExternalNotificationModule's nag window compared against nagCycleCutoff, which
holds UINT32_MAX once stopped and 1 at boot. isNagging is the real armed flag,
so test it first and short-circuit: a disarmed cutoff can no longer reach the
arithmetic, while an idle module still takes the same sleep path that the
boot-time value of 1 was relying on.

Note this fixes the sentinel only. The comparison itself is still a naive
`nagCycleCutoff < millis()` and remains on the list to convert.

* Fix millis() rollover in every deadline and interval comparison

Roughly 20 sites compared against millis() directly - `millis() > deadline`,
`deadline < millis()`, `last + interval < millis()`. All of them break for
about 24 days after the 32-bit millis() wrap: depending on which side of the
wrap each value sits, the action either stalls for weeks or fires immediately
and repeatedly. The longest affected interval is the 12 hour NTP renewal, a
~50x margin against the wrap, so none of these needed the range - only the
correct comparison.

Add Throttle::deadlinePassed(deadlineMs) for sites that store an absolute
deadline they cannot re-express as "interval since an event". It uses the same
unsigned half-range test as NextHopRouter::doRetransmissions() rather than
introducing a competing signed-cast idiom, and unlike the signed cast it is
defined for every input. Sites that do store an event use the existing
isWithinTimespanMs / hasElapsed. Nothing gained new state.

Because both helpers read Time::getMillis(), every converted site is now
reachable from a native test that drives the clock across the wrap; the
comparison itself is covered directly in test/test_throttle/.

Sentinel handling is the reason this could not be a mechanical rewrite. The
disarm convention is not uniform: 0 means "inactive" for rebootAtMsec,
shutdownAtMsec, alertBannerUntil, fixHoldEnds, suppressUntilMs and
touchResumeBlockUntilMs; 0 means "due now" for ntp_renew, which is forced to 0
at link-up; UINT32_MAX means "inactive" for nagCycleCutoff; and
alertBannerUntil == 0 in isOverlayBannerShowing() means "show indefinitely".
Every inactive marker is arithmetically far in the past, so a correct
comparison fires on it - each site tests its sentinel before the arithmetic,
and keeps the meaning it had.

Two sites carried a second bug found on the way:

BME680Sensor tested (stateUpdateCounter * STATE_SAVE_PERIOD) < millis(). With
a 6 hour period and a uint16_t counter that product overflows uint32_t after
about 198 saves, independently of the millis() wrap. It now measures the
interval since the last save.

EInkDynamicDisplay had `if (previousRunMs > millis()) return;` as a millis()
overflow guard, which skipped rate limiting entirely for the whole post-wrap
period - the bug it meant to prevent. Every check below it already goes
through Throttle, so the guard is removed rather than fixed.

MotionSensor's calibration countdown is converted to a signed delta rather
than deadlinePassed, because it needs the remaining magnitude and not a
boolean; that matches the already-correct check in the same file.

* Remove getMillis64() and use Throttle for the NodeInfo reply window

getMillis64() had exactly one caller and no callers in tests. It also carried
obligations that made it the wrong shape for this firmware: a wrap accumulator
in mutable statics, which is not ISR-safe, and which must be polled at least
once every ~49.7 days or it silently misses a wrap and returns a time ~49 days
short.

Its one caller only wanted to know whether a 12 hour suppression window had
elapsed - which Throttle answers correctly across the wrap without any
accumulator. NodeInfoModule now stores Time::getMillis() in lastNodeInfoSeen
and tests the window with Throttle::isWithinTimespanMs, so the map holds
milliseconds rather than seconds derived from a 64-bit read.

USERPREFS_NODEINFO_REPLY_SUPPRESS_SECS is user-overridable and now feeds a
multiply by 1000, so a static_assert rejects any value too large to express in
milliseconds instead of letting it wrap.

clockSourceChanged goes too. It existed solely to rebase getMillis64()'s
accumulator when a test swapped clock sources, and it made the wrap untestable
through the injection API: setTestMillis() set the flag, so a wrap crossed by
two setTestMillis() calls was swallowed. With the accumulator gone the flag has
nothing to rebase, and the injection API is a plain settable clock.

The three getMillis64 tests are dropped as they no longer describe anything.
One test replaces them, pinning that advanceTestMillis() wraps past
0xFFFFFFFF rather than saturating, since the Throttle wrap tests rely on it.

Also fix eviction in pruneLastNodeInfoCache(): it picked the entry with the
smallest stored stamp, which is the wrong victim once some stamps sit on the
far side of the wrap. It now evicts the largest elapsed time.

* Add CI guard and docs rule against naive millis() comparisons

Fixing the existing sites does not stop the next one being added. The
millis-deadline-check job rejects millis() placed directly next to a comparison
operator, in either order, anywhere in src/. It lives in test_native.yml
alongside suite-count-check, which sets the precedent for a repo-hygiene guard
that CI enforces and bin/run-tests.sh does not.

The correct idioms all subtract before comparing, so none of them match the
pattern. Line comments are stripped first, so documentation is free to name the
broken form - as the guard's own comment and the coding conventions both do.

Writing the check before finishing the sweep turned out to be worth it: it
found roughly 14 sites that a by-hand audit of deadline variables had missed,
including two extra nagCycleCutoff compares, both boot-screen timeouts, and a
6 hour sensor save interval that was also overflowing a uint32_t multiply.

.github/millis-deadline-allowlist.txt covers the cases that are genuinely not
deadline tests. Both current entries are uptime thresholds - "has the device
been up N ms" - with no stored deadline and no event to measure from: a 30s
button holdoff against phantom shutdown from floating pins, and a 10s window
for the OEM boot logo. Each re-crosses its threshold once per wrap, which is
harmless for boot-holdoff logic and not worth new state to avoid. Entries are
keyed on file plus exact source text, without line numbers, so an edit above an
entry does not silently invalidate it.

Locally the guard reports 19 matches before the sweep and 2 after, both
allowlisted.

The Throttle bullet in the coding conventions is rewritten from "prefer
Throttle for rate limiting" to "never compare against millis() directly", lists
all four helpers with when to use which, names the CI guard, and documents the
sentinel hazard with the rebootAtMsec = -1 case that would have become a reboot
loop. Mirrored into AGENTS.md; CLAUDE.md gets a pointer row.

* Trim rollover comments to what the code needs

The comments added with the millis() rollover fixes carried too much of the
investigation that produced them: how many sites were found, which document
recorded them, what the old code used to do. That belongs in the commit history,
not in the source, and some of it was already stale - Power::reboot() still
described the check it disarms as "a naive millis() > deadline" when that
comparison had been fixed in the same series.

What stays is the non-obvious part at each site: which sentinel value the
variable overloads and what it means there, since that differs between call
sites and is what a correct comparison gets wrong. 0 means "not scheduled" for
rebootAtMsec, "renew now" for ntp_renew, and "show indefinitely" in
isOverlayBannerShowing().

Exposition is kept where it earns its place: the Throttle helpers, the uptime
clock's note on why there is no 64-bit variant, and the tests. The Throttle
docs lose only the site count and the "longest interval in the firmware"
statistic, both of which would age badly; the range trade-off between the two
forms is what a caller actually needs.

Comments only - no code changed, verified by diff.

* possible fixes

* Address review feedback on the rollover fixes

- BME680Sensor: checkpoint lastStateSaveMs after a successful write instead of
  at the interval test. The first save (IAQ accuracy >= 2) left it at 0, timing
  the next save from boot, and stamping before the write deferred the retry a
  full period when the write failed. Reads Time::getMillis(), the same clock
  Throttle compares against.

- Throttle: add deadlinePassedAt(now, deadline) for loops that snapshot the
  clock once and test many deadlines; deadlinePassed() now delegates to it.
  NextHopRouter::doRetransmissions() uses it, replacing the inline half-range
  compare adopted from #10227 (nightjoker7) - same arithmetic, credited at the
  call site - and takes its snapshot from Time::getMillis() so setNextTx()
  deadlines and the due test cannot diverge under an injected test clock.

- test_native.yml: set -euo pipefail in the millis-deadline guard, matching the
  sibling suite-count job. Without -e a partially failed scan could report "no
  violations" from truncated output.

- test_packet_signing: build the not-due deadline from Time::getMillis() rather
  than millis(), so the test and the router read one clock.

- test_throttle: cover deadlinePassedAt(), and correct a wrapped-value comment
  (0xFFFFFF00 + 400 is 0x00000090, not 0x00000094).

Two review comments were declined: the AirTime mutex (every airTime-> caller
runs in the single cooperative loop, WebServerThread included) and the
MotionSensor 0-sentinel countdown (the calibration frame is only installed
while a window is open).

* Correct the described failure window of a naive millis() compare

The comments and agent docs said a bare `millis() > deadline` "breaks for ~24
days after the wrap". That figure belongs to the fix, not the bug: it is the
half-range limit of deadlinePassed(), which reads deadlines more than 2^31 ms
ahead as already passed, and the range over which a UINT32_MAX sentinel reads
as passed.

The naive compare's actual failure is an inversion lasting only while the
deadline sits on the far side of the wrap, so it is bounded by the interval:
the action fires immediately and loses its wait, or blocks for about the wait
it should have performed - days for the nRF52 flash-corruption backoff,
one skipped cycle for a seconds-long retransmit timer.

Comments and docs only; the ~24.8 day statements that correctly describe
deadlinePassed()'s own range are left as they were.

* Restore a monotonic uptime clock and consolidate the wrap counters

Time::getMillisMonotonic() is the getMillis64() shape - a 32-bit wrap
counter carried across reads - promoted to the shared timebase, with
Time::getUptimeSecs() as the derived whole-seconds view. This deliberately
reverses the earlier removal of getMillis64(), and the distinction matters:
removal was right for a lazily-read accumulator with one rare caller, where
a 49.7-day gap between reads silently swallowed a wrap. Here every read is
the poll and AirTime::runOnce() guarantees one per second; the missed-wrap
contract is pinned by a test rather than left as a footnote.

Three private wrap counters collapse into it:

- AirTime::syncNow() takes its seconds from Time::getUptimeSecs() and drops
  its lastSyncMsec checkpoint; window rotation is unchanged.
- DeviceTelemetryModule loses refreshUptime()/uptimeWrapCount/uptimeLastMs;
  uptime_seconds comes from Time::getUptimeSecs(), which also removes the
  0.296s-per-wrap truncation of (0xFFFFFFFF / 1000) * wraps. Its two
  interval checks move to Throttle::hasElapsed().
- HostMetricsModule's copies of those members were never read (its uptime
  comes from /proc/uptime) - deleted.

Not ISR-safe (unguarded mutable carry): ISRs keep using getMillis(), which
stays a pure read. Audited: no interrupt-context file reads getTime(),
getValidTime(), or the new accessors.

test/native-suite-count 44 -> 45: the bump for test_uptime_clock was lost
in a branch history rewrite, leaving every later value off by one -
run-tests.sh reports AMBER and CI's suite-count-check fails on the current
push until this correction.

* Anchor the wall clock in monotonic milliseconds

getTime() computed elapsed-since-time-set as a 32-bit millis() delta, so a
node that took time once and stayed up past 49.7 days reported a wall clock
one full cycle in the past - and last_heard, rx_time, message and position
stamps all inherited it. The anchor is now the 64-bit monotonic count
(timeStartMsec -> timeStartMs64) and the elapsed term is computed in 64-bit,
so the wall clock is exact at any uptime.

All six anchor writers follow: the five hardware-RTC read branches and
perhapsSetRTC(), which keeps a truncated 32-bit copy of the same instant for
its Throttle-checked rate-limit stamps. The test seams anchor the same way.

Two native regression tests drive getTime() across the wrap through the
Time seam - one anchored before the wrap and read after it, one anchored
after a counted wrap - with the test epoch derived from BUILD_EPOCH so the
plausibility window cannot rot as the build date advances.

* Stamp the rx_time placeholder in monotonic uptime seconds

computeRxTimeStamp() stamped Time::getMillis() when the clock was untrusted,
and reconcilePendingRxTimes() back-calculated with a 32-bit millis() delta -
correct within one wrap, but a placeholder older than 49.7 days aliased to a
small elapsed value and reconciled to a plausible-but-wrong recent epoch:
the exact failure has_rx_time exists to prevent, reachable by an ordinary
unattended router whose phone connects two months in.

The placeholder is now Time::getUptimeSecs(). Both stamps come off the
monotonic counter, so the elapsed term is exact at any age and the aliasing
window is gone outright rather than widened. If elapsed somehow exceeds the
epoch itself, the packet stays un-dated (absent, never wrong) instead of
clamping to a pre-1970 value. Defence in depth: a placeholder that leaks
needs ~50 years of uptime to cross MIN_PLAUSIBLE_EPOCH, where milliseconds
took 18.3 days.

The stream-API reconciliation tests keep their scenarios with the placeholder
unit switched, and ScopedTimeFixture resets the monotonic carry so uptime
seconds are deterministic per case.

* Date nodes heard before the clock arrives, without polluting last_heard

A node first heard while the wall clock was untrusted got no last_heard at
all, and nothing backfilled it once time arrived - the phone showed "Last
heard: unknown" for a node it had just announced. The arrival instant now
waits in a RAM-only sidecar (NodeNum -> uptime seconds, 32 slots,
reuse-oldest - the RouteHealth shape) and is converted to a real epoch on
the clock-becoming-trusted transition, beside the existing rx_time
reconciliation. last_heard itself never holds anything but a real epoch or
0: it persists to flash and the warm tier, where an uptime-relative value
would be meaningless after reboot.

The sidecar's write sites are updateFrom()'s no-trusted-clock path (the
rx_time placeholder already carries the arrival instant, so this is a store,
not a second clock read) and addFromContact's anti-eviction stamps, which
previously wrote a bare getTime() - boot-relative seconds on a clockless
node, the exact value lastHeardIsWallClock() exists to catch. Eviction
ranking honours the stamps: heard-this-boot outranks every stored epoch,
ordered among themselves, so a stamped contact is not the first victim.

PhoneAPI re-reads last_heard at nodeinfo send time: a record prefetched
before the clock became trusted can carry 0 while the store has since been
backfilled, and re-reading at the pop makes handshake ordering (time-set vs
node-list download) irrelevant. Backfill never moves last_heard backwards
and skips the pathological elapsed-exceeds-epoch case. A node evicted to
the warm tier before time arrives is still absorbed with last_heard 0 -
same as before, bounded to the untrusted window.

* Update the agent docs for the monotonic timebase

The conventions bullet asserted there is deliberately no 64-bit millis; the
monotonic uptime clock restored for timestamps changes that contract. State
the split explicitly: Throttle for deadlines and intervals (no carry state),
Time::getMillisMonotonic()/getUptimeSecs() for timestamps, polled by
construction and not ISR-safe.

* Publish the monotonic wrap carry from a single writer

getMillisMonotonic() was a read-modify-write on two unguarded statics, and it
is reached off the main loop: the nRF52 Bluefruit task via
onFromRadioAuthorize() -> PhoneAPI::getFromRadio -> getValidTime(), and the
portduino civetweb workers via the same path. Two readers interleaving inside
the wrap window could each increment the carry, putting every uptime and
wall-clock reading 2^32 ms ahead for the rest of the boot - a permanent ~49.7
day jump in rx_time, last_heard and ClientNotification.time.

Readers no longer write. serviceMonotonic() publishes a snapshot behind a
seqlock and is the only writer; a reader adds its own unsigned elapsed time to
that snapshot, which is exact across the wrap, so it never inspects the
boundary and cannot miscount it. The main loop publishes every iteration, so
the once-per-49.7-days obligation now has the whole window of margin instead of
resting on an instruction-wide race.

AirTime was the guaranteed poller and is now a pure reader, so the two airtime
wrap tests step the clock the way loop() does. The test clock itself is atomic
so a suite can drive it from one thread while others read.

* Re-arm the GPS ephemeris hold when none is in force

The rollover sweep guarded the hold re-arm with `fixHoldEnds != 0 &&`, which
reads like the sentinel rule but inverts this site. The comparison it replaced,
`(fixHoldEnds + GPS_THREAD_INTERVAL) < millis()`, was always true when nothing
was armed - that was the point, since 0 means "not holding" and so is a reason
to arm. With the guard, a publish that cleared the hold without sleeping (the
`shouldPublish && !tooLong && !holdExpired` path, which does not call down())
left hasValidLocation set and prev_fixQual non-zero, so no disjunct held:
nothing re-armed, nothing published, and the receiver stayed powered at the
200ms poll until searchedTooLong() fired.

State the question positively instead. fixHoldInForce() is the only place the
sentinel is interpreted, and both of runOnce()'s decisions derive from it - the
asymmetry is now visible rather than implied, since arming does not require a
prior hold but expiring does. Its `!= 0` test is not redundant with the
arithmetic: deadlinePassed() is an unsigned half-range test, so past 2^31 ms of
uptime the sentinel reads as a deadline ~24.9 days in the future.

Kept beside its caller rather than in a header; the native test build compiles
GPS.cpp, so the suite declares the prototypes.

Also converts the getACK() wait to isWithinTimespanMs(start, interval): it has
both the start instant and the interval in hand, which gives the full 49.7-day
range instead of 24.8 days ahead, and takes its anchor from Time::getMillis()
so the wait is injectable.

* Date the NodeInfo reply window in uptime seconds

The 12h reply-suppression stamp regressed from wrap-immune 64-bit seconds to
raw 32-bit milliseconds, and pruneLastNodeInfoCache() evicts only by node count
and DB membership - never by age. A stable mesh under the node cap therefore
keeps every stamp indefinitely, and once uptime passes 49.7 days an old one
aliases back into the window: `now - stamp` computes as ~0 and a legitimate
NodeInfo request goes unanswered for up to 12h. It self-heals and repeats once
per wrap cycle.

Store Time::getUptimeSecs() instead, which does not wrap for 136 years, and
drop the millisecond conversion the previous shape needed. Entries past the
window are now evicted too: they can only ever decide "don't suppress".

N8-N11 cover the window from both sides, and N10 pins the regression - it needs
a full 2^32 ms of uptime to elapse, not merely a crossing of the boundary,
because that is when a millisecond stamp reads as "answered this instant".

tearDown() now restores the injected clock and C14's region and TX bucket. A
failing assertion aborts the test body, so restoring at the end of it leaked
that state into every later case.

* Update the agent docs for the single-writer clock and sentinel direction

Two rules the preceding three commits changed.

The monotonic clock is no longer maintained by whoever happens to read it:
serviceMonotonic() is the only writer, readers are pure, and calling it from
anywhere but the main loop reintroduces the double-count.

The sentinel guidance gained the half it was missing. It named UINT32_MAX as a
sentinel while prescribing an idiom that only covers 0, and it assumed the
sentinel always means "suppress" - at the GPS fix-hold site it meant "fire",
which is how that regression passed review looking like the rule.

* Name the fix-hold expiry predicate and arm it from the injected clock

holdJustExpired() gives the second reading of the fixHoldEnds sentinel a
name beside the first, so both are pinned by test/test_gps_fix_hold/ and
neither can be respelled at the call site. The old inline form could not
be tested: written as a literal, its guard folds at compile time and the
assertion asserts nothing.

The arm site used bare millis() while the evaluation reads the Throttle
clock; same value in production, but it kept that write out of reach of
Time::setTestMillis(). Remap a deadline that lands on 0, which would
otherwise read as no hold at all.

* Share the extend formula between the clock's reader and writer

getMillisMonotonic() and serviceMonotonic() carried byte-identical wrap
arithmetic. A one-sided edit to either would drift the published carry
from what readers report, so keep one copy.

* Trim the NodeInfo dedup comment to the house limit

* todo note for potential future imrpovments

* fix some simple deadlines

* Trim the hold-expiry test comment to the house limit

* Fix non-blocking uptime publication and pre-clock recency edges (#29)

* fix(time): avoid blocking monotonic readers

* test(time): make paused-publisher check deterministic

* fix(time): address review portability gaps

* Init the eviction sentinel to the newest possible recency

EvictionRecency{} is {0, false}, which evictionRecencyOlder() ranks as older than
every candidate: without the oldestIndex/oldestBoringIndex guards nothing would
ever be selected and a full node DB would stop evicting entirely.

Init to the genuine maximum instead, so the sentinel is correct on its own. The
index guards stay: two independent reasons the scan is right beats one.

* Keep the deadline-guard check name branch protection matches

The guard was widened to cover Time::getMillis() and unqualified getMillis(),
and renamed to suit. Upstream branch protection matches required checks by name,
so a rename means the old name never reports and merges block on a check that
will never arrive.

Widen the guard, keep the name; the descriptive text carries the broader scope.

* Correct native-suite-count to 47 after the develop merge

Upstream #11293 added test_nmea_wpl and took develop's count to 43; this branch
had independently reached 46. Merging develop resolved the counter textually,
keeping 46, while the directory set became the union of both sides at 47.

The suite-count CI gate fails on the mismatch, and it gates the native test jobs,
so the tests themselves were being skipped.

* test(uptime): make the wrap fall where the comment says it does

The concurrent-reader case started at 0xFFFFF000, leaving 0x1000 to the wrap, so
the 0x800 advance annotated "cross the wrap" fell short and the wrap actually
happened during the following 60s advance.

Start at 0xFFFFF800 instead, so the first advance lands exactly on the wrap while
the readers are running and the second is the ordinary time after it - the shape
both comments already described. Total elapsed is unchanged, so the closing
assertion still holds.

* Respond to human comments

* Did I ever tell you about the time I went to Shelbyville? I wore an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.

* Convert the I2S nag deadline develop dragged in

The HAS_I2S_SPEAKER_NRF52 RTTTL block arrived from develop with a raw
nagCycleCutoff >= millis(), which the deadline guard rejects. Use the same
Throttle::deadlinePassed() form as the two sibling paths in this function.

* Arm the LittleFS format guard with a flag, not a zero timestamp

preFSBegin() runs in the first millisecond of boot, so millis() can legitimately
return 0 there. Both readers of last_format_ms treated 0 as "nothing formatted
this boot", which would skip the repeat-corruption escalation and let a dead
flash reformat-loop instead of reporting FLASH_CORRUPTION_UNRECOVERABLE.

* Note the single-thread contract on AirTime

* Note the AirTime locking TODO, and tighten the thread note

The two constant getters are not constrained, and getSilentMinutes() reads the
buckets without rotating them, so "the accessors mutate" was not accurate.

* trunk: ignore trufflehog false positives on millis-wrap test constants

test_throttle and test_uptime_clock pin dense clusters of hex boundary
constants (0xFFFFFF00u and neighbors) to exercise 32-bit millis()
rollover. trufflehog's Lob detector stitches nearby hex literals into
one candidate string, and the result happens to match a Lob API key
shape - not a secret, just test fixtures.

Same pattern already used for the gitleaks/nodedb-fixture false
positive in this file.

Jonathan BennettandClaude Fable 5 af56a11f00 Replace native-suite-count file with dynamic test discovery (#11413)
* Derive the native suite count on the fly instead of registering it in a file

test/native-suite-count was a manually-maintained register of the test_*
directory count, reconciled against the actual directories by
bin/run-tests.sh (as an AMBER verdict) and by a dedicated suite-count-check
CI job. The reconciliation only ever guarded the file itself: the check
that matters - suites that actually ran vs. the test_* directories on
disk - already derives its expected count from a directory walk, so the
file added a bookkeeping step to every suite addition/removal without
adding signal.

Remove the file and everything that existed to keep it honest:

- bin/run-tests.sh: drop the canonical-count file read, the count-mismatch
  AMBER verdict, and the [canonical: x/y] suffix; the verdict lines already
  carry ran/expected from the directory walk. The shuffle seed suffix stays.
- test_native.yml: delete the suite-count-check job and its needs: edges.
- Docs (copilot-instructions.md, AGENTS.md, test/README.md) and the
  test-script comments now describe the count as derived from test/test_*
  at run time.

* Add suite-shrinkage-check: fail a PR that silently loses a test_* suite

With test/native-suite-count gone, nothing in CI noticed the suite set
shrinking: platformio test discovers and runs whatever test_* directories
exist, and bin/run-tests.sh derives its expected count from the same walk,
so a suite directory lost in a bad rebase or an overzealous cleanup just
means fewer suites run - every remaining check stays green.

Restore that tripwire git-aware instead of file-based: on pull_request
runs, compare the test_* directory list at the PR's merge base against the
PR result. A vanished suite fails the job unless its name appears in the
PR title, PR body, or a commit message in the PR's range - a deliberate
removal satisfies that by stating what it removes; an accidental loss
cannot. Other events skip: they have no natural base, and PRs are where
accidents arrive. No job depends on this one (a skipped job would skip
its dependents).

Incidentally: test/ currently holds 47 test_* directories while the
deleted count file said 46 - the manual register had already drifted,
which is exactly the bookkeeping failure mode this replaces.

Shrinking the AMBER cell left the table's column padding inconsistent,
which trunk (prettier + markdownlint MD060) rejects.

Tom de6b23190a Test suite rebuild (#11322)
* docs(nodedb): make the native node cap unambiguous

The native node cap was stated in four places that disagreed, and the disagreement
already caused a wrong diagnosis: a saturated 200-node database looked arithmetically
impossible because the cap had been read as 248, computed from a header that does not
apply on this platform. The real value is 198.

On portduino MAX_NUM_NODES is not a compile-time constant at all - the variant defines
it as `portduino_config.MaxNodes`, resolved at runtime, default 200 and settable per
host with `General: MaxNodes`. variant.h is reached before mesh-pb-constants.h, so that
header's ARCH_PORTDUINO branch never fires and its plausible-looking 250 is dead code.

- #error-guard the dead branch rather than leave a wrong number where people grep. The
  guard found a real defect: seven translation units reach mesh-pb-constants.h without
  configuration.h (SerialConsole.cpp, StreamAPI.cpp, PacketAPI.cpp, ServerAPI.cpp,
  PiWebServer.cpp, ServiceEnvelope.cpp, MeshtasticOTA.cpp, and test/TestUtil.cpp), so
  each was compiling with a different MAX_NUM_NODES - and therefore a different
  PACKETHISTORY_MAX - than the rest of the build. Each now includes configuration.h
  first. It cannot be included from mesh-pb-constants.h itself: that reaches
  SerialConsole.h through DebugConfiguration.h and closes a cycle.
- Name the bare 250 in getMaxNodesAllocatedSize() NODEDB_MIGRATION_LOAD_CEILING. It is a
  decode allowance for files written by larger-cap firmware, not a cap, and it read like
  one.
- Fix docs/node_info_stores.md, which named the wrong source and a "10-250" range that
  is wrong for native, and the copilot-instructions tunables line that said "portduino
  250".

* test(harness): give each suite its own scratch HOME and report leftovers

Native suites shared one directory. Every suite that constructs a NodeDB loads and
saves ~/.portduino/default/prefs/ - nodes.proto, config.proto, channels.proto,
module.proto, device.proto, warm.dat, transmit_history.dat - and nothing cleared it,
so state leaked suite -> suite within a run and run -> every run after it. A test run
could also rewrite a real meshtasticd node database on the same machine.

Per-run isolation does not fix this: the leak is generated inside a single run, so the
boundary has to be per suite.

bin/pio-test-isolate.sh runs each suite in its own scratch $HOME, registered as
test_testing_command for env:native and env:coverage so a bare `pio test` and CI get the
same boundary, not just bin/run-tests.sh. It runs the binary unchanged and exits with its
exit code, so PlatformIO's pass/fail is untouched. Overriding HOME here rather than
around `pio` also sidesteps the blocker that a bare HOME= breaks pio's own
~/.platformio/penv/bin/pio lookup.

Leftovers are reported as a second axis, PASS/FAIL x CLEAN/DIRTY, because an unintended
write has no matching assertion by definition - nobody writes TEST_ASSERT for a save they
do not know is happening. The harness asserts it from outside, so it applies to every
suite without the author opting in.

- Only the *set of changed paths* is asserted, never contents. Hashes answer the boolean
  "did this change?" and nothing more; content baselines over protobuf bytes would churn
  on every NodeInfoLite field added, which is how snapshot suites become noise.
- Deliberate writes are declared in test/state-manifest.tsv - one central file, suite /
  flags / mandatory reason. run-tests.sh prints the opt-out count on every run.
- Granularity follows the state flag, so the two ship together: per-test by default
  (TestUtil redefines RUN_TEST to checkpoint after each test, naming the exact test that
  dirtied things), suite boundary for state=per-suite, where carrying state across test
  cases is the declared behaviour.
- A declared write that does NOT happen is reported as MISSING, not folded into DIRTY. It
  catches silently broken persistence; a warning for now, since some are conditional.
- Graded AMBER, not RED. With isolation in place DIRTY means "undeclared", not
  "dangerous", and a check that lands red on day one gets switched off.

Guard the guard, both halves: state_assert_empty() refuses to run a suite against a
sandbox that is not empty (otherwise the after-diff measures against the wrong baseline
and reports CLEAN while meaning nothing), and bin/test-state-check.sh drives the real
wrapper with fixtures asserting CLEAN / CLEAN / DIRTY / MISSING plus both directions of
the empty assertion. A checker that silently matches everything would otherwise pass
forever.

--write-manifest proposes entries for a human to paste and justify; it never applies
them, and neither does CI.

* test(harness): stop reporting Unity's exit code as a signal

A native suite ends in exit(UNITY_END()), and UNITY_END() returns the failure count.
PlatformIO's native runner reads that non-zero exit code as a POSIX signal number, so
four failures print "Program received signal SIGILL", five print "SIGTRAP", and the suite
is classified [ERRORED] rather than [FAILED].

There is no crash. The signal name tracks the failure count and nothing else - it moved
SIGILL -> SIGTRAP when a diagnostic probe added a fifth failure - and it cost hours of
hunting a memory bug that did not exist, on an env (native) that carries no sanitizer at
all. It also explains the phantom extra test case in the totals: the runner adds a
synthetic entry for the signal it thinks it saw.

run-tests.sh now says so inline whenever a signal line appears, and the three
agent-facing docs say it too.

* test(admin): isolate NodeDB and globals per test

setUp() did `if (!nodeDB) nodeDB = new NodeDB();` and never deleted it, so 83 of the 85
tests shared one never-reset database and never restored config, owner, devicestate or
channelFile. The fixture that does restore them was opt-in and armed by exactly two
tests. The setUp comment claiming the rest "set their own config/region state and are
unaffected" was not true - the admin handlers under test write all four globals.

Route every test through the fixture instead: setUp saves the globals and installs a
fresh NodeDB, tearDown restores and deletes it. The two tests that armed it themselves no
longer need to.

All 85 pass, so nothing was silently relying on the shared state. It costs about 7% of
the suite's runtime (a NodeDB construction is a loadFromDisk plus, with a region set, key
generation) - worth paying to write the phase 3 tests against a clean fixture rather than
83 tests' residue.

Also cap the per-test attribution in the run summary at five entries; the full list stays
in the suite's sandbox.

* test(fs): cover the bounded file-manifest walk

getFiles() runs on every phone sync via STATE_SEND_FILEMANIFEST, and nothing asserted any
of its bounding behaviour. It does execute unasserted from test_stream_api's handshakes,
but the cap, the depth limit, the wasLimited paths, overlong-path rejection and capacity
release were all unguarded.

Eight tests, all describing what the code does today: today's code is already correct
here, since #10778 landed the by-reference collectFiles(), the 64-entry cap, the strlcpy
bounds and the swap-idiom release. They pass on arrival, which is the point - this is the
baseline a later change has to leave alone.

Two things they do not cover, and cannot:

- Moving reserve() outside the __cpp_exceptions guard. Exceptions are on natively, so the
  #else branch is not compiled. The suite's job there is to prove that change alters
  nothing observable.
- The file.name() null guard. No in-tree backend returns null; the guard is defensive.

The manifest-release test pins the swap idiom rather than calling
PhoneAPI's releaseFilesManifest(), which is file-local. It asserts capacity() == 0, not
just size() == 0 - a size-only check passes on clear(), which is the bug #7924 shipped.

Suite count 43 -> 44, recounted against the directories rather than copied.

* test(admin): assert node-DB metadata saves skip the radio reload

set_favorite_node, set_ignored_node and toggle_muted_node each persist a NodeInfoLite bit
and nothing else. MeshService::reloadConfig() gates its region re-derivation and
configChanged notification on saveWhat & (SEGMENT_CONFIG | SEGMENT_CHANNELS), so a
SEGMENT_NODEDATABASE-only save already skips the live radio reconfigure.

Pure characterization - all three pass on develop. Worth pinning because that reconfigure
is the path implicated in the WisMesh Tag favourite-node crash, and develop asserts
nothing about it: widening the saveWhat mask or reordering the check would currently go
unnoticed.

Ported from the config-save series along with ConfigChangedCounter (an Observer<void *>
counting configChanged notifications, the only externally visible signal that the reload
branch was taken) and TEST_NODE_NUM. They join the existing suite, so no suite-count
change.

* refactor(menu): extract the mute toggle into a named function

The node menu's mute action was inline in a banner-callback lambda, and that lambda only
ever runs via screen->showOverlayBanner() - which is why nothing in MenuHandler.cpp was
reachable from a test. Lift the `selected == Mute` branch into
menuHandler::toggleNodeMuted(uint32_t) and call it from the lambda.

Behaviour-neutral by construction: same statements, same order, same bare saveToDisk().
The null check moves into the function, so the call site no longer needs its own lookup.
Verified by the native build and suite; the byte-identical-image check on a
headroom-constrained nRF52 board was not run locally - CI's firmware-size comment covers
it.

Three tests come with it, all describing today's behaviour:

- the bit flips both ways and no configChanged fires (develop never calls reloadConfig on
  this path);
- an unknown node is a no-op rather than a write;
- and the segment mask. Flipping one NodeInfoLite bit currently rewrites all five
  segments via bare saveToDisk(). That is asserted deliberately, with the comment naming
  it as characterization of a known defect: a pending fix narrows it to
  SEGMENT_NODEDATABASE, and when it lands this assertion is expected to change, which
  makes the improvement visible in the diff instead of silent.

saveToDisk() is not virtual, so the mask is observed through its effect - remove the five
prefs files, toggle, and see which reappear.

* docs(test): make every suite count a pointer to the canonical one

test/native-suite-count is the registered total and is machine-checked against test/test_*
on every full run and by the suite-count-check CI job. Every other statement of the count
is a copy that drifts: copilot-instructions said 12, AGENTS.md said 19, and the real
number is 44.

Replace both literals with a pointer to the file, say explicitly that no document should
state the count as a literal, and reframe the two suite listings as descriptions rather
than inventories - they carry per-suite information the count does not, so they stay, but
nothing should infer completeness from their length. Register the new FS suite in both.

* test(harness): randomise suite order, reproducibly

Landed last, deliberately. Randomising an order-dependent suite set does not find bugs so
much as convert a silent pass into intermittent red, and the first instinct is to revert
the randomisation rather than fix the coupling. Phases 1-2 removed the coupling; this
keeps it removed.

Both runners previously hid order dependence behind a fixed order that happened to differ
between them, and neither order was chosen: CI's area rules put admin first, PlatformIO's
local discovery is reverse alphabetical and put it last. CI was green by accident.

- bin/run-tests.sh --shuffle / --seed <n>. The seed defaults to HEAD's short SHA: one
  order per commit, so a red is replayable and attributable to the diff instead of flaky,
  while the project keeps exploring orders. Printed at the start and carried into the
  RESULT line, so a verdict is replayable from that line alone; the full order is printed
  on failure, because for an order-dependent failure the order is the diagnostic.
- The shuffle is a Fisher-Yates over a MINSTD generator rather than awk's rand(), whose
  sequence differs between gawk and mawk. A seed that does not reproduce the same order on
  another machine is not a seed.
- Shuffling needs one `pio test -f <suite>` invocation per suite - PlatformIO orders by
  its own os.walk() over test/ and filters only select - which measures at about 4.7s per
  suite of extra startup.
- CI shuffles its area order, seeded from GITHUB_SHA and printed with the command to
  replay it locally. Intra-area order stays PlatformIO's; controlling it there would mean
  per-suite invocations, which is a cost worth deciding separately.

Also records the 16 measured entries in test/state-manifest.tsv, each with its reason,
taken from a full run's --write-manifest output rather than guessed.

* test(default): cover the region-throttle interval overload

getConfiguredOrDefaultMsScaled(configured, default, nodes, TrafficType) is the overload
every telemetry and position module actually calls, and nothing referenced TrafficType
anywhere under test/. All four of its behaviours were unguarded: the no-region guard, the
throttle <= 1 short-circuit, the multiply, and the 64-bit overflow clamp.

The throttles are real, not hypothetical - EU_866 carries PROFILE_LITE, which sets both
positionThrottle and telemetryThrottle to 10, so a change here moves broadcast spacing in
that region by an order of magnitude.

Each test pins numOnlineNodes at the congestion threshold and uses ROUTER, which never
congestion-scales, so the coefficient is 1 and the throttle is the only variable. The
overflow case needs a base above INT32_MAX/10, hence three days rather than one.

* ci(test): keep pull-request suite order fixed, seed the rest

Shuffling the area order on every run - including pull_request - would turn a
contributor's PR red for an ordering they did not choose, which is how a randomisation
gets reverted instead of the coupling being fixed. That is the exact dynamic the ordering
work was sequenced last to avoid, and the previous commit walked straight into it.

- pull_request keeps the fixed declared area order.
- push and schedule shuffle, seeded from the commit SHA: deterministic per commit,
  printed, attributable, and never blocking someone else's PR.
- A suite_order_seed input on workflow_call and workflow_dispatch overrides both, so a
  specific failing order can be replayed anywhere, including on a PR.

The run log prints which mode it took, the resulting order, and the local command to
replay it.

* ci(test): satisfy CKV_GHA_7 and yamllint on the seed input

The seed is reachable through workflow_call, which callers can pass programmatically. The
workflow_dispatch copy tripped checkov's "workflow_dispatch inputs MUST be empty" rule,
and suppressing it was not worth it: replaying a specific order is a local operation, and
the run log already prints the exact bin/run-tests.sh command to do it.

* style(menu): apply the node-ID format convention

RadioInterface.cpp documents the rule: 0x%08x in logs, !%08x in user-facing
display. MenuHandler held every remaining exception - seven logs printing bare
%08X, and two display labels doing the same.

Repo-wide there are now no bare %08X node IDs left in log calls.

* ci(test): pass workflow inputs through env, not shell interpolation

suite_order_seed and github.event_name were spliced into the run: script as
${{ }} text, so a value carrying shell metacharacters would execute as code on
the runner rather than being read as data. semgrep (run-shell-injection) and
zizmor (template-injection) both flag it.

Both now arrive as environment variables and are read as "$VAR".

* refactor(test): share the seeded shuffle between the harness and CI

bin/run-tests.sh and test_native.yml each carried a byte-identical copy of the
MINSTD Fisher-Yates awk. The workflow prints "replay locally: ./bin/run-tests.sh
--shuffle --seed $seed" after a shuffled CI run, and that instruction is only
true while the two agree - drift would be announced by a replay quietly
reproducing a different order than the one that failed.

Extract shuffle_suites() to bin/lib/shuffle.sh and source it from both.
Permutations verified identical across seeds before and after the move.

* fix(test): correct the shared-state MISSING check and summary join

Three defects in the new harness:

state_classify() matched declarations two different ways - state_path_declared()
for "undeclared", a hand-rolled regex for "missing". Interpolating an entry into
an ERE also let a metacharacter in a manifest name match a file that is not the
declared one. Both directions now go through the one helper.

`paste -sd'; '` does not join with "; ": with -s, paste cycles through a
multi-character delimiter one character per join, so paths rendered as
"a;b c;d e". Replaced with an awk join.

test-state-check.sh ran on after a failed cd instead of stopping (SC2164).

./bin/test-state-check.sh: 6/6 fixtures pass, MISSING included.

* fix(portduino): bound General.MaxNodes

MaxNodes was validated only for <= 0. Any positive value, including a typo'd or
pasted-in one, propagates to MAX_NUM_NODES and scales both the node DB and the
nodes.proto decode ceiling - failing at boot with no obvious cause.

The ceiling is a sanity bound, not a capability limit; raise it if a host
genuinely needs more.

* docs(nodedb): reconcile the capacity tables

The property matrix omitted the ESP32-S3 100-node flash tier that the platform
table above it lists, and neither mentioned that the WASM build overrides
MaxNodes to 80 in wasm_config_apply().

* fix(nodedb): make mesh-pb-constants.h self-sufficient on portduino

The ARCH_PORTDUINO #error assumed it was unreachable in a normal build. It is
not: the vendored device-ui sources include this header without configuration.h,
which broke both native-tft docker builds.

Include configuration.h here instead, ahead of every compile-time default -
variant.h overrides MAX_RX_TOPHONE as well as MAX_NUM_NODES, so placing it lower
in the file just moves the divergence to a redefinition. The #error stays as a
backstop for the case where that include genuinely stops providing the cap.

Verified with the native env's own flags: a TU including only this header now
compiles, normal-order use of both macros compiles, and NodeDB.cpp compiles.

* fix(portduino): raise the MaxNodes ceiling to 16000

Marked artificial: nothing in the node DB fails at 16001. 16000 sits just under
the 16384 (128 x 128) population where HopScalingModule saturates its sampling
denominator and starts dropping nodes, so a host inside the bound still gets
meaningful hop recommendations.

* lint(trunk): advise on node IDs logged as bare %08x

RadioInterface.cpp documents the convention - 0x%08x in logs, !%08x in display -
but nothing enforced it, which is how the MenuHandler cluster drifted. 22 call
sites in PacketHistory, NodeInfoModule and PositionModule are still off it.

A trunk linter rather than a CI grep job, because trunk checks changed files:
new violations get flagged without a 22-site cleanup landing in an unrelated PR.
Modelled on the existing too-many-defined definition.

Scoped to values it can tell are IDs - an ID-shaped argument (->num, .from,
getNodeNum) or message text naming one. A 32-bit hex that is not an ID is out of
scope, so the CRC32 logs in ethOTA.cpp are correctly ignored.

Emits "note", trunk's only non-blocking level: "warning" and "info" both exit
non-zero and would gate CI, which is not what a log-format nit deserves. The
pre-existing sites are line-scoped in the allowlist, so a new bad call in those
same files is still caught.

* lint(trunk): stop exempting the known node-id-format sites

The seeded allowlist made the rule green by declaring the backlog acceptable.
Empty it instead, so the 22 pre-existing sites are reported and get cleaned up
by whoever next edits those files.

Costs nothing to do: the rule emits "note", so these are non-blocking either
way. The allowlist stays for its real purpose - a value the linter misreads as
an ID.

* style: log node and packet IDs as 0x%08x

Clears the 22 sites the node-id-format linter reports, so the rule starts from
zero rather than from a backlog nobody can see - trunk suppresses pre-existing
findings by default, so left alone these would not have surfaced on edit the way
an empty allowlist implies.

Format strings only; no argument or control flow changes. The !%08x
user-facing display forms are deliberately untouched - that is the other half of
the same convention.

* test(harness): build once up front, so suite timings mean something

run-tests.sh fused build and run in a single pio invocation, so whichever suite
PlatformIO's directory walk reached first absorbed the entire src compile and
reported it as its own duration. On a real run that made a 0.03s suite report
13m21s, and hid the build cost from every other number in the summary.

Do what .github/workflows/test_native.yml already does: one --without-testing
build pass, then run with --without-building. Measured on a full 44-suite run -
the build is now a single reported figure and 968 test cases execute in 1.9s,
with no suite above 0.084s.

Build output goes to its own log rather than $LOG: the outcome regexes match
"error:" and "[ERRORED]", so a compiler diagnostic sharing that file would read
as a test failure.

Both red paths now keep the log they quote from. $LOG and the build log are
mktemps the EXIT trap removes, so the three grepped lines were previously all
anyone ever saw - and the cause is usually further up than the first [FAILED].

* test(harness): keep the run log on every red path

bin/pio-test-isolate.sh already keeps a failing or DIRTY suite's sandbox and log
under .pio/test-state/<suite>/. What was missing is the cross-suite view: $LOG is
a mktemp the EXIT trap deletes, so run-tests.sh quoted three grepped lines from a
file that no longer existed by the time anyone looked.

Preserve it as .pio/build/<env>/test-failure.log from both red paths - including
"no success summary found", which said "see log" while preserving nothing, and
which is exactly the case where the build died before any suite ran and so left
no per-suite sandbox either.

Cleared at the start of every run, so a green run cannot leave a red one's log
lying around looking current.

* fix(test): report the real failure count on a shuffled red

A shuffled run is one `pio test` invocation per suite, all appending to the
same log, so the log carries one PlatformIO "N test cases:" summary per suite.
verdict_red() took `tail -1`, which reports whatever the LAST suite did: a
failure in suite 3 printed a "0 failed" summary from suite 44 directly under
"RED - failures detected:".

Sum the summaries instead. A single summary line - every unshuffled run - is
passed through verbatim, so the familiar output is byte-identical.

The patterns are passed to the awk helper as strings rather than /regex/
literals: awk evaluates a regex literal in argument position as `$0 ~ /re/`,
so the callee would receive 0 or 1 and silently sum garbage.

* fix(test): do not emit an empty suite name for an empty shuffle

`printf '%s\n' "$@"` with no arguments still writes one empty line, and both
callers read shuffle_suites through mapfile, so an empty suite list arrived as
a single suite named "". Return before the printf when there is nothing to
shuffle.

* test(harness): state and enforce the Linux host requirement

The native harness is a Linux tool: bash 4+ (mapfile), GNU coreutils and GNU
find (-printf, md5sum, -executable). Most of that predates this branch -
mapfile and both find predicates are already on develop - but none of it was
written down, so the requirement was there to be discovered rather than read.

Refuse to start on a non-Linux uname instead of degrading. On a BSD userland
this would not fail cleanly: it would mis-hash the sandbox and mis-read the
suite list, and still print a verdict. A state check that silently measures
the wrong thing is worse than one that declines to run.

Carrying a per-host fallback was the alternative, and it buys a second code
path that nothing in CI exercises. bin/test-native-docker.sh already exists
for macOS and non-Linux hosts, and the native-macos PlatformIO env is a build
target for meshtasticd, not a test host - the isolation wrapper is registered
for env:native and env:coverage only.

Documented in the script header, test/README.md, and both agent docs.

* fix(test): terminate every suite with exit(UNITY_END())

Two sites across two suites ended on a bare UNITY_END(). That ends the
reporting, not the suite: setup() returns, the runtime goes on calling loop(),
and the process runs forever. PlatformIO does not notice - it reports a suite
from its Unity output, not from process exit - so the suite passes, the run
goes green, and the binary stays resident. Thirteen of them had accumulated on
one dev box, the oldest 19 hours old.

The costs are quiet by construction:

- the per-suite sandbox is deleted underneath a live process, so its
  CLEAN/DIRTY verdict describes what the suite had written when the harness
  stopped looking, not what it left behind;
- .gcda coverage and LeakSanitizer's report both flush from atexit handlers,
  so a suite that never exits contributes no coverage and gets no leak check;
- each survivor pins its own deleted 94 MB binary, which du cannot see.

One of the two is the #else of an architecture guard, which is the easiest one
to get wrong - it looks like there is nothing to clean up. test_mqtt has a
correct exit(UNITY_END()) in its live branch, so a "does this file call exit()
anywhere" check passes the file whole.

test_serial had two more. develop's serial-config validation rework
restructured that suite - the architecture guard is gone and both remaining
branches now exit correctly - so this commit no longer has anything to change
there; bin/lint-unity-exit.sh, added later on this branch, is what keeps it
that way.

test/README.md gets a section on it, since the skeleton showing the right
shape had not stopped this happening.

* test(harness): detect and reap suites that outlive their run

A suite that never exits was invisible: PlatformIO reports a suite from its
Unity output, so the run stayed green while the binary kept running. Two
checks, because they fail differently.

Runtime, in bin/pio-test-isolate.sh: the sandbox $HOME is mktemp-unique per
suite, so any process still holding it is a survivor of that suite. Matching
on the environment rather than a remembered PID identifies one whatever its
parentage - a fork, a grandchild, a process already reparented to init - none
of which a $! comparison catches. Reaped before the after-fingerprint is
taken, so that fingerprint measures a tree nobody is still writing to, and so
a run cannot leave processes accumulating on the host. Recorded as a sixth
summary column and graded AMBER: the tests did pass, but the CLEAN verdict and
the coverage were measured under a false assumption.

Author-time, as bin/lint-unity-exit.sh, wired into trunk at "note" like
node-id-format: every UNITY_END() must be wrapped in exit(). The rule is per
occurrence, and that is the point - a file-level "calls exit() somewhere"
check passes test_serial and test_mqtt, which have a correct one in their live
branch and a bare one in the #else. Running it over the tree turned up
test_mqtt, which the file-level pass had missed.

It allows `int rc = UNITY_END(); ...; exit(rc)`, used by test_packet_signing
to restore globals between the summary and the exit. That is where the rule
gives ground: capturing and never exiting would leak and is not flagged.
Flagging a correct idiom would push someone to "fix" working code.

bin/test-state-check.sh gains a survivor fixture, asserting the wrapper both
reports and reaps - a detector that only reports leaves the host accumulating
processes, which is half the harm. 8/8.

* fix(lint): make the unity-exit scanner statement-aware

The rule judged one physical line at a time, which reports two kinds of correct
code as bare:

    /* a comment that happens to
       mention UNITY_END() */          <- interior lines were never stripped

    exit(
        UNITY_END());                  <- exit( and the macro never met

On a probe of both, two of three findings were wrong. This is a note-level rule
whose whole job is advice, and bin/lint-node-id-format.sh already says why that
matters: a false positive costs more than a miss. One that cries wolf gets
ignored, and the real finding goes with it.

Carry /* ... */ state across lines and accumulate logical statements before
testing, with a 12-line cap so one unclosed call cannot swallow the rest of the
file - the same structure lint-node-id-format.sh uses, so the two custom linters
in bin/ work alike rather than each having its own idea.

Verified both directions: the develop-era sources still produce the same four
findings, the fixed tree produces none, and a probe covering block-comment
interiors, wrapped exit(), line comments, return UNITY_END() and capture-then-
exit reports only the genuinely bare calls - including a complete block comment
followed by real bare code on the same line, which the state machine has to
keep live.

Reported by CodeRabbit on #11322.

* fix(lint): tokenise instead of pattern-matching, and self-test it

Second round of review findings on the same scanner, all confirmed by direct
test before changing anything. Six defects, one root cause: layered regexes
cannot tokenise C++.

False positives (correct code reported):
  - UNITY_END() inside a string literal read as code

False negatives (real leaks missed):
  - a string containing "/*" opened comment state and swallowed later lines
  - greedy .* removed everything between two block comments on one line,
    taking a bare call with it
  - myexit(UNITY_END()) matched the exit() exemption as a substring
  - x == UNITY_END() and total += UNITY_END() matched the assignment exemption

Replaced with a character-level scan carrying comment state, and token-bounded
exemptions: exit must be a whole identifier, and the capture form must be a
plain `=`. Raw string literals are still not modelled - there are none under
test/, and delimiter tracking for a case that does not occur would be untested
code guarding untested code, so it is documented rather than guessed at.

Also drops the `return UNITY_END()` exemption. It only terminates from main(),
there is no main() under test/, and from a helper it just returns a count.

bin/test-lint-unity-exit.sh pins all fifteen cases, every false positive and
false negative found in review among them. The rule has been wrong twice in a
way that looked fine by inspection; it needed a self-test more than it needed
another careful reading.

Two further findings in the same review:

  - bin/run-tests.sh dropped PASSTHRU in shuffled mode, so `--shuffle -vvv`
    built verbosely and then ran quietly. The shuffled loop now forwards
    EXTRA_ARGS, which is PASSTHRU minus the -f pair it supplies per suite.
  - bin/run-tests.sh did not guard `cd "$ROOT_DIR"`.

And one that did not reproduce: the survivor fixture's glob does find the pid
file (verified with the lookup instrumented - the earlier failure was an
artifact of running the script from /tmp, where SCRIPT_DIR cannot resolve).
The assertion was still weak, because an empty pid took the "not running"
branch and passed vacuously. It now fails if the pid was never recorded, and
finds the file by search rather than assuming a directory depth.

Reported by CodeRabbit on #11322.

* fix(lint): report each UNITY_END occurrence at its own location

The self-test only asked "did the linter say anything", so it could not have
caught a wrong line, a wrong column, or a missing second finding. Fixtures now
assert the exact diagnostics as line:col, and the first run of that assertion
found two real problems.

The caret pointed at the wrong occurrence. For `exit(UNITY_END()); UNITY_END();`
the verdict was right but the column was 17 - the wrapped call - because the
scanner stripped terminating forms out of the whole statement and then reported
the first occurrence it had seen. Two bare calls on one line reported once.

Judged per occurrence now, by looking back through whitespace at what wraps it,
so both the count and the caret are right. That also needed a position map from
strip_noncode(): removing a comment or collapsing a literal shifts every later
column, and counting occurrences in the raw line does not recover it either -
TEST_MESSAGE("... UNITY_END() ..."); UNITY_END(); has two occurrences in the raw
text and one in the code.

Four of the expected columns I wrote by hand were also wrong, off by one. The
linter was right in every case; the assertions were not. They are computed from
the fixture text now rather than pasted from output, because a baseline accepted
from the tool it is testing asserts nothing.

17 fixtures, including the two-on-one-line case from review and its mirror.

Ben Meadors 0902c13473 feat: build-flagged frame injection into the RX pipeline for testing (#11011)
MeshService::injectAsReceived (gated by MESHTASTIC_ENABLE_FRAME_INJECTION, off by default) extends
the portduino SimRadio SIMULATOR_APP path to real hardware: a client-supplied frame, wrapped in a
Compressed envelope on the SIMULATOR_APP portnum, is delivered through the real receive pipeline
(router->enqueueReceivedMessage) as if it arrived off the LoRa chip. It therefore exercises from!=0
enforcement, channel/PKC decryption, remote-admin authorization, and hop/dedup/module dispatch -
paths the toRadio API cannot reach (it forces from=0). from==0 is dropped to match real RX.

This forges over-the-air traffic, so the flag must never ship enabled. Drive it with the
meshtastic-mcp inject_frame tool / cli/meshinject.py. Documents the technique in the agent-facing
copilot-instructions.md + AGENTS.md.

Ben MeadorsandClaude Opus 4.8 510e9796f9 Extract mcp-server to its own repo (meshtastic/meshtastic-mcp) (#10861)
The Python MCP server + hardware test harness that lived under mcp-server/
now has its own home at https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic-mcp
(published, versioned independently). Remove the in-tree copy and wire the
firmware repo to the standalone server externally.

- Delete mcp-server/ (96 files) and the 8 harness-coupled AI workflow files
  under .claude/commands/ and .github/prompts/ that drove ./mcp-server/
  run-tests.sh — those workflows now ship with meshtastic-mcp as skills.
- .mcp.json: register the server via
  `uvx --from git+https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic-mcp meshtastic-mcp`
  instead of a local ./mcp-server/.venv, keeping MESHTASTIC_FIRMWARE_ROOT="."
  so the MCP tools still work from this checkout with no local build.
- Repoint the remaining references (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md,
  .github/copilot-instructions.md, bin/regen-*.sh, docs, Screen.h,
  userPrefs.jsonc, test/fixtures/nodedb/README.md, .trunk/configs/.bandit)
  at the standalone repo. The MCP tool surface is unchanged — only the
  pytest harness moves out; run it from a meshtastic-mcp checkout with
  MESHTASTIC_FIRMWARE_ROOT pointed here.

No build/CI/platformio coupling existed, so nothing in the firmware build
changes.
