Tom 1872e5b306 TMM extend to ephemeral 3rd tier store (#11050)
* Harden TMM NodeInfo direct-response: staleness, key hygiene, throttle

The NodeInfo direct-response path answered queries on behalf of other nodes
from an unauthenticated, never-expiring cache while suppressing the genuine
request (STOP). That let a long-gone or forged identity be served as a
fresh-looking, authoritative reply indefinitely. Three fixes:

- Staleness gate: refuse to spoof a reply for a node not actually heard within
  ~6h (PSRAM cache via lastObservedMs; NodeDB fallback via sinceLastSeen, which
  tolerates last_heard==0 when the clock is unset). A stale entry now falls
  through so the real request propagates instead of being answered for a dead
  node.

- Key hygiene: mirror NodeDB::updateUser() PKI checks when caching overheard
  NodeInfo - reject a packet advertising our own public key, and pin keys (drop
  a NodeInfo whose key mismatches an already-known key from NodeDB or from our
  own cache). Prevents cache poisoning / key substitution via the spoofed-reply
  path.

- Response throttle: at most one spoofed reply per target node per 30s. Direct
  responses bypass the per-sender rate limiter (they STOP the request first) and
  the reply target is attacker-controlled, so this bounds airtime exhaustion and
  reflected floods. Recorded in a new NodeInfoPayloadEntry.lastResponseMs
  (PSRAM; self-expiring timestamp compare, no sweep needed).

Tests: native NodeDB-fallback staleness (stale drops, fresh serves) plus
PSRAM-guarded staleness, throttle, and key-mismatch cases.

* Add TODO(T1-T9) markers for code-review findings on NodeInfo hardening

Comment-only. Tags each site flagged in the review of the direct-response
throttle/staleness/key-hygiene change so the follow-ups are visible in-context:

T1 throttle black-holes distinct requestors; T2 per-target key doesn't bound
aggregate TX; T3 non-PSRAM fallback unthrottled; T4 millis-wrap defeats the
staleness gate; T5 redundant second O(n) scan for the throttle stamp;
T6 duplicated 32-byte key compares; T7 sinceLastSeen() called twice;
T8 two 6h constants can desync; T9 clockMs()==0 collides with the 0 sentinel.

* Address code-review cleanups T6, T7, T8 in NodeInfo direct-response

T8: derive kNodeInfoMaxServeAgeSecs from kNodeInfoMaxServeAgeMs so the PSRAM
    and NodeDB-fallback staleness windows cannot desync.
T6: collapse the three duplicated 32-byte key compares in cacheNodeInfoPacket
    (owner-impersonation + NodeDB pin + cache TOFU pin) into one pubKeysEqual()
    helper, so the compare lives in one place.
T7: compute sinceLastSeen(node) once on the fallback staleness path so the
    tested age and the logged age cannot diverge (it calls getTime() each time).

Remaining review items still marked in-code: T1/T2/T3 (throttle design),
T4/T9 (millis-wrap + 0-sentinel), T5 (redundant throttle-stamp scan).

Native test_traffic_management suite: 48/48 passing.

* Throttle the NodeDB fallback direct-response path (T3)

The per-target NodeInfo response throttle lived only in the PSRAM
NodeInfoPayloadEntry, so non-PSRAM boards - which answer from the NodeDB
fallback path - emitted spoofed direct replies with no rate limit at all,
leaving the airtime/reflection surface the throttle exists to close.

Add a single module-global fallback stamp (nodeInfoFallbackLastResponseMs,
4 bytes, guarded by cacheLock) that throttles the fallback path to one
spoofed reply per window across all targets. Coarser than the PSRAM
per-target throttle, but the fallback path has no per-node slot to stamp,
and a global cap still bounds spoofed transmissions - which is the point.

Add a native test exercising the fallback throttle window.

* Make NodeInfo staleness/throttle wrap- and sentinel-safe (T4, T9)

T9: the millis-based fields that use 0 as a "never" sentinel
(lastObservedMs, lastResponseMs, nodeInfoFallbackLastResponseMs) could be
stamped with a literal 0 during the one-millisecond clockMs()==0 instant at
each ~49.7-day wrap, momentarily colliding with the sentinel and disabling
the staleness/throttle gate for that entry. Route all such stamps through a
new nowStampMs() that maps 0 -> 1; the 1 ms skew is irrelevant to every
window these fields feed.

T4: the staleness gate's modular age compare is only unambiguous while true
age < 2^32 ms (~49.7 days); an entry that lingered unrefreshed that long
could wrap to a small age and read as fresh, defeating the gate. Add a
NodeInfo eviction pass to the maintenance sweep that drops entries past the
serve window, so an entry is removed long before its age can approach the
wrap boundary. This also frees slots holding stale identities.

* Stamp PSRAM throttle entry by captured index, not a rescan (T5)

The post-send throttle stamp did a second full O(n) scan of the PSRAM
NodeInfo array under a fresh lock, even though findNodeInfoEntry() had
already located the slot at the top of shouldRespondToNodeInfo(). Capture
the slot index during that initial lookup and address the entry directly on
the stamp path. Because the cache lock is released between the two accesses,
the slot could have been evicted or reused, so re-validate node == p->to
under the lock before stamping.

* Document accepted per-target throttle tradeoffs (T1, T2)

Convert the T1/T2 TODO markers into a NOTE: the per-target PSRAM throttle
keying and its lack of an aggregate bound are deliberate design choices, not
pending work. A distinct requestor being throttled for one window is
harmless on a redundant mesh, and keeping the PSRAM path per-target
preserves throughput for legitimate multi-target responders (the fallback
path already bounds aggregate via its global stamp).

* Track signed-provenance of cached NodeInfo public keys

Add keySignerProven to NodeInfoPayloadEntry, set when an observed NODEINFO
frame's XEdDSA signature was verified (mp.xeddsa_signed). This distinguishes
a trust-on-first-use key from one proven to belong to a signer. The flag is
monotonic - once proven it stays proven, and the existing key-pin checks
forbid the underlying key from changing - so a later unsigned frame cannot
downgrade it. A signature can only be verified against a key we already
held, so a first-contact key is always TOFU until a later signed frame
upgrades it.

Groundwork for using the TMM cache as a last-resort public-key source, where
this flag serves as a trust tier.

* Draw public keys from the TMM NodeInfo cache as a last resort

Add TrafficManagementModule::copyPublicKey() and consult it from
NodeDB::copyPublicKey() after the hot (NodeInfoLite) and warm
(WarmNodeStore) tiers miss. This extends the pool of peers the node can
encrypt to: a key the NodeInfo direct-response cache overheard for a node
that has since aged out of both NodeDB tiers can still be used.

The getter reports whether the key is signer-proven or trust-on-first-use.
NodeDB serves TOFU keys here too - the same first-contact trust NodeDB
already applies in updateUser() - so the pool actually expands to new
long-tail nodes rather than only re-confirming known keys.

* Retain keyed NodeInfo entries as a pubkey pool; trust-tier eviction

Now that NodeDB::copyPublicKey() draws keys from the NodeInfo cache, the flat
6 h serve-window eviction would discard useful keys the moment a node stops
being servable. Split retention: an entry carrying a 32-byte public key is
kept for kNodeInfoKeyRetentionMs (7 d), while a keyless entry still expires
at the serve window. Both windows stay well under the ~49.7-day millis wrap,
preserving the T4 wrap-safety guarantee.

Make LRU victim selection trust-tiered to match: a keyless slot is sacrificed
before any keyed one, and a trust-on-first-use key before a signer-proven
key; within a tier the oldest loses. Mirrors WarmNodeStore's keyed-first
admission so the most valuable keys are the stickiest under memory pressure.

* Test signed-provenance flag and copyPublicKey key-pool source

PSRAM-gated tests (run on the ESP32 build, alongside the existing NodeInfo
PSRAM tests):
- copyPublicKey serves a TOFU key learned from an unsigned NodeInfo and
  reports signerProven=false
- a later signature-verified NodeInfo upgrades provenance to signer-proven
  while the pinned key bytes stay unchanged
- copyPublicKey reports a miss for an uncached node

* Inherit signer provenance from NodeDB when caching a re-found node

When the TrafficManagement NodeInfo cache re-caches a node, mark its key
signer-proven if NodeDB already knows the node as a verified signer for that
same key - even if this particular (unicast/unsigned) frame carried no
signature. Previously the flag only upgraded on a frame we verified
ourselves, so a node we had already proven elsewhere looked TOFU here.

Add NodeDB::isVerifiedSignerForKey(), which checks both tiers - the hot
store's signed bitfield and the warm tier's cached signer bit - and requires
the key to match so a rotated/mismatched key never inherits a stale verdict.
Add WarmNodeStore::isVerifiedSigner() to expose the warm signer bit (the
rebase onto develop added the bit itself; this surfaces it for lookups).

* Lock NodeInfoPayloadEntry packing with a size assert

keySignerProven cost zero bytes: sourceChannel, the two bools, and
decodedBitfield are four 1-byte fields that fill a single 4-byte tail word
(struct alignment is 4), so the flag consumed former padding rather than
growing the 2000-entry PSRAM array. Add a static_assert pinning the entry to
sizeof(meshtastic_User) + 20 so a future 5th trailing byte - which would open
a fresh word (~8 KB PSRAM across the array) - fails the build instead of
silently costing memory, prompting new flags to be packed into existing bytes.

* Pack NodeInfo cache booleans into 1-bit fields

Fold hasDecodedBitfield and keySignerProven into adjacent uint8_t:1 bitfields
so they share a single byte, reserving 6 spare bits for future flags without
growing the 2000-entry PSRAM array. sizeof is unchanged (still one packed tail
word, sizeof(meshtastic_User) + 20); access is by name exactly as before, so no
call sites change. Reorders decodedBitfield ahead of the flags so the two
1-bit members stay adjacent and the compiler packs them together.

* Gate NodeInfo replay on signer-proven provenance (compile-time, default on)

Add TMM_NODEINFO_REPLAY_REQUIRE_SIGNED (default 1): the direct-response path
now only spoofs a reply for a node whose key is signer-proven, in addition to
the staleness gate - so replay is based on flagging AND staleness. Replay is a
courtesy feature, and vouching for an unverified (trust-on-first-use) identity
to other nodes is the risk this closes, so signed-only is the safer default.
Define the macro to 0 at build time to also serve fresh TOFU-only nodes.

Both paths are gated: the PSRAM path checks the cached keySignerProven flag,
the NodeDB fallback checks nodeInfoLiteHasXeddsaSigned(node). The effective
gate (TMM_NODEINFO_REPLAY_SIGNED_GATE) is bypassed when PKI is excluded from
the build, since nothing can be signed there and the courtesy feature would
otherwise be disabled outright.

Tests: existing reply-expecting tests establish signer-proven state (a new
markKeySignerProvenForTest hook for the PSRAM cache, the NodeDB signed bit for
the fallback path); add fallback and PSRAM tests asserting an unsigned/TOFU
node is withheld under the default gate.

* Rehydrate re-admitted node names from the TMM NodeInfo cache

The warm tier keeps an evicted node's key but not its name (the 40-byte
record has no room), so a re-admitted long-tail node is nameless until its
next NodeInfo broadcast. The TrafficManagement NodeInfo cache is much larger
(2000 PSRAM entries) and commonly still holds the full User, so use it as a
name reservoir the warm tier structurally cannot be.

On re-admission (getOrCreateMeshNode), after the warm-tier restore, copy the
cached identity from the TMM cache via a new copyUser() getter - but only when
its cached key matches the key just restored from warm, so a name never
attaches to a different identity than the one we encrypt to (key-matched
trust). Guarded by HAS_TRAFFIC_MANAGEMENT and a null check; a no-op without
the PSRAM cache or when no key is present. CopyUserToNodeInfoLite sets only
user-related bits, so the warm-restored signer bit is preserved.

Limitations (by design): PSRAM-only, and the TMM cache is RAM-only, so this
helps within an uptime session, not across reboot.

* Drop non-portable NodeInfoPayloadEntry size assert (fixes pico build)

The static_assert pinned sizeof(NodeInfoPayloadEntry) to
sizeof(meshtastic_User) + 20, but nanopb packs the generated User struct
differently per platform: on pico its size is not a multiple of 4, so
alignment padding before the uint32 timestamps makes the overhead 22, not
20, and the assert failed the build (native happened to be +20 and passed,
hiding it). The bitfield packing it was guarding still stands; replace the
fixed-count assert with a comment, since no portable byte count exists.

* Run the NodeInfo cache paths in native tests (TMM_HAS_NODEINFO_CACHE)

The NodeInfo direct-response cache and everything layered on it - key
pinning, signer provenance, staleness, throttle - was compiled only for
ARCH_ESP32 + BOARD_HAS_PSRAM, so its entire test set was skipped by the
native CI suite and ran nowhere but real hardware.

Fold the scattered platform guards into one TMM_HAS_NODEINFO_CACHE macro
that also enables the cache (plain heap, delete[] path already existed)
for ARCH_PORTDUINO unit-test builds. Production portduino and embedded
test builds are unchanged. Tests that exercise the NodeDB fallback path
drop the cache explicitly via a new dropNodeInfoCacheForTest() hook, so
both response paths are covered in one binary.

Native suite: 60/60 (was 50 with the 10 cache tests compiled out).

* Pin NodeInfo cache keys against the warm tier, not just the hot store

cacheNodeInfoPacket() mirrored NodeDB::updateUser()'s key pin but checked
only getMeshNode() - the hot store. updateUser's own pin effectively
covers the warm tier too (getOrCreateMeshNode rehydrates the warm key
before the check), so the mirror had a gap: for a node evicted to the
warm tier whose cache slot was also gone, an attacker's NodeInfo with a
bogus key passed the pin, and the cache's TOFU pin then locked the
genuine node's frames out until the poisoned entry aged away.

Split the authoritative lookup out of NodeDB::copyPublicKey() as
copyPublicKeyAuthoritative() (hot store, then warm tier - never the
opportunistic TMM tier, which would compare the cache against itself)
and pin against that.

Test: warm-tier-only key rejects a mismatching NodeInfo and accepts the
matching one. Native suite: 61/61.

* Convert NodeInfo cache clocks to uint8 tick counters

Replace the entry's uint32 millis stamps (lastObservedMs,
lastResponseMs) with three uint8 free-running tick clocks - the same
modular scheme the UnifiedCache counters already use:

  obsTick   3 min/tick (12.8 h period) - replay staleness gate
  respTick  5 s/tick   (21.3 min)      - per-target response throttle
  retTick   1 h/tick   (10.67 d)       - retention TTL + LRU age

Validity is an explicit flag bit (hasObserved / hasResponded), not a 0
sentinel, and the maintenance sweep saturates a stamp (clears its flag)
once its window passes, so no stamp can age toward its ~256-tick
aliasing horizon. That retires the wrap/sentinel special cases (T4, T9)
- nowStampMs() survives only for the fallback path's module-global
millis stamp. obsTick is separated from retention by design: only a
genuinely heard NODEINFO frame stamps it, so later membership-based
retention refresh can never make a silent node look servable.

Also drops lastObservedRxTime, which was only echoed in a debug log.

Entry shrinks 136 -> 128 B; the 2000-entry array 272 kB -> 256 kB, 8 kB
below the original develop footprint while keeping the throttle and
retention features. Tick granularity costs at most one tick per window
(+-5 s on 30 s, +-3 min on 6 h, +-1 h on 7 d).

Native suite: 61/61.

* Keep the NodeInfo cache a superset of NodeDB (seed + keep-alive)

The cache learned identities only from overheard NODEINFO frames, so its
membership was opportunistic: a NodeDB-tier node whose frame was never
heard this boot had no entry (no key pin to protect it, no name to
rehydrate), and the retention TTL evicted entries for nodes that still
lived in the hot store or warm tier.

Add an anti-entropy pass to the maintenance sweep
(reconcileNodeInfoMembershipLocked): every hot-store / warm-tier node
gets an entry - full identity from the hot store (hasFullUser), key-only
from the warm tier - with signer provenance inherited key-matched, and
NodeDB's key adopted wholesale on conflict. Member entries (isMember)
are re-stamped each sweep, so they never age toward the retention TTL;
when a node leaves both tiers the keep-alive stops and its entry ages
out from its final member re-stamp. Membership also outranks key trust
in LRU victim selection, and the reconcile pass skips seeding rather
than churn one member out for another when hot+warm exceeds the cache.

Two properties are load-bearing:
 - seeding/keep-alive never touch obsTick/hasObserved, so a seeded or
   retained entry is never served as a spoofed reply - only genuinely
   heard frames make a node servable;
 - copyUser() now requires hasFullUser, so a key-only warm seed can
   never stamp HAS_USER onto a nameless node via name-rehydration.

Native suite: 64/64.

* Write-through NodeDB identity commits into the NodeInfo cache

updateUser() is the single chokepoint through which every remote
identity/key write enters NodeDB (key-verification keys stay in
CryptoEngine's pending buffer until a NodeInfo carries them here), so
one hook at its tail lets the NodeInfo cache reflect a commit
immediately instead of waiting up to a minute for the reconcile sweep -
which stays in place as the anti-entropy backstop.

onNodeIdentityCommitted() upserts the full User: NodeDB's key is
authoritative (a conflicting cached key is stale residue - replaced,
provenance dropped), a keyless commit keeps an already-cached TOFU key,
and signer provenance transfers only for the committed key. The
observation stamp is never touched: knowledge is not observation, so a
hook write can never make a never-heard node servable - covered by the
new test alongside immediate copyUser/copyPublicKey visibility.

* Purge TrafficManagement caches on explicit node removal

NodeDB::removeNodeByNum() already forgets the node everywhere NodeDB
owns - hot store, satellite stores, warm tier - but the TrafficManagement
caches kept the deleted identity: the NodeInfo entry went on feeding the
key pool (NodeDB::copyPublicKey) and name rehydration, and the unified
slot kept its role/next-hop/dedup state, resurrecting the node on next
contact.

Add purgeNode(): clears both the unified cache slot and the NodeInfo
cache entry, called from removeNodeByNum() alongside the warm-tier
removal. Removal means full removal; passive eviction never calls this,
and the reconcile sweep will not re-seed a node absent from both NodeDB
tiers.

Test: an observed identity plus a next-hop hint both vanish after
removeNodeByNum(). Left for CI to execute per request.

* Document the tmm-fix-2 / tmm-fix-superset reconciliation decisions

Two parallel implementations of the same superset design are being
combined on this branch. This decision matrix records every divergence
and which side each reconciled feature takes, ahead of the code commits
that apply them.

* Reconcile retention: no timed eviction, obsTick LRU, hourly seeding

Adopt tmm-fix-superset's retention model (reconciliation decisions #3,
#4, #9 in .notes/tmm-super-superset-reconciliation.md):

- Entries are never evicted on a timer. The 7-day retention TTL and its
  third tick clock (retTick) are gone; wrap-safety rests entirely on the
  sweep's presence-bit saturation, and a quiet entry keeps its value
  (pubkey pool, name rehydration). Slots are reclaimed only by
  trust/membership-tiered LRU on insert - age scored by obsTick, with
  never-observed entries counting oldest - or by an explicit purge.
- Membership refresh (entry -> NodeDB contains checks) runs every sweep;
  the heavy seeding pass runs at boot and then hourly, with the
  write-through hooks carrying immediacy in between.
- Tick constants and helpers move into the header beside the existing
  UnifiedCache tick idiom, with static_asserts tying the tick windows to
  the fallback path's seconds/ms forms.

Kept from tmm-fix-2 (decision #4): the warm tier is still seeded
(key-only records via WarmNodeStore::entryAt) so the invariant remains
cache superset-of hot AND warm, and the spareMembers guard still stops
seeding from churning one member out for another when hot+warm exceeds
the cache. Entry shrinks to 128 B (2000 entries = 256 kB).

The TTL-based retention test is superseded by a no-timed-eviction test:
a quiet keyed entry survives 9 days of sweeps while the serve gate
saturates as before.

* Reconcile hooks: key-commit write-through, purgeAll, key-matched signer

Adopt tmm-fix-superset's hook coverage (reconciliation decisions #5-#8):

- onNodeKeyCommitted(): write-through for the two key-write sites that
  bypass NodeDB::updateUser - the Router's admin-key learn (TOFU-grade)
  and KeyVerificationModule's manual-verification commit (proven=true,
  the strongest provenance the cache can carry). Both were coverage gaps
  in the tmm-fix-2 write-through design.
- updateUser's hook call now transfers signer status key-matched
  (isVerifiedSignerForKey) instead of the node's bare signed flag, and
  runs on acceptance rather than only on change.
- purgeAll(): factoryReset() and resetNodes() clear both TMM tables -
  removal-is-full-removal applies to bulk resets too, without relying on
  the usual post-reset reboot.
- purgeNode() reuses the existing finders instead of open-coded scans
  and logs the (user-initiated) purge.
- peekNodeInfoFlagsForTest(): flag introspection so saturation and
  membership tests can assert sweep effects directly.

* Merge the two branches' test suites for the reconciled design

Port tmm-fix-superset's unique tests, adapted to run natively under
TMM_HAS_NODEINFO_CACHE (reconciliation decision #11):

- keyHook_upsertsAndGovernsProvenance: TOFU learn -> manual-verification
  upgrade -> NodeDB-senior rotation resets provenance.
- tickSaturation_sweepClearsObserved: the sweep saturates hasObserved
  past the serve window, the entry persists (no TTL), and a full
  256-tick clock wrap cannot alias a saturated stamp back to fresh.
- sweepMembershipMarking: reconciliation seeds a hot identity as
  member+fullUser+unobserved; the next sweep clears membership once the
  node leaves NodeDB, while the entry itself persists.

tmm-fix-2's tests (warm pin, hot/warm seeding, updateUser write-through,
removal purge - now also asserting the entry is gone via the new peek
hook - and the no-timed-eviction rewrite) were already on this branch.
Suite now counts 70 test functions.

* Adapt cherry-picked and seeding tests to the reconciled semantics

Two tests needed updating for interactions the validation run surfaced:

- The #11035 test (ignoresUnsignedSignerIdentity) was written for a
  world without the native NodeInfo cache: it needs the NodeDB fallback
  path (dropNodeInfoCacheForTest) and the signed replay gate satisfied
  for its target, like the other fallback tests on this branch.
- The hot-seed test's "observed frame makes it servable" step now sends
  a signature-verified frame: its node is a known signer, and per #11035
  an unsigned frame from a signer must not (and does not) drive cache
  writes - the gate working as designed.

Full native suite: 70/70 under ASan.

* TrafficManagement: key NodeInfo-cache maintenance to its own guard

runOnce() nested the entire NodeInfo maintenance block (tick-stamp
saturation, membership refresh, boot/hourly reconcile) inside
#if TRAFFIC_MANAGEMENT_CACHE_SIZE > 0, so a variant overriding the
unified cache to 0 on a PSRAM board would compile the NodeInfo cache
without its maintenance: hasObserved would never saturate, obsTick
would alias past its 12.8 h wrap, and the 6 h staleness gate - whose
wrap-safety explicitly depends on the sweep - would serve spoofed
replies for long-gone nodes. Extract maintainNodeInfoCacheLocked(),
guarded by TMM_HAS_NODEINFO_CACHE alone, and give runOnce() the same
independent-guard structure purgeAll() already has.

Also close the runtime cousin of the same mismatch: the write-through
hooks (onNodeIdentityCommitted / onNodeKeyCommitted) now no-op while
moduleConfig.has_traffic_management is off. Previously they kept
filling the cache from NodeDB commits while runOnce() returned
INT32_MAX, accumulating entries that were never swept or reconciled.
Purges and reads stay ungated: removal must always work, and reads
just miss an empty cache.

* TrafficManagement: forward throttled NodeInfo requests instead of consuming them

The direct-response throttle returned true, which made handleReceived()
STOP the request: within the 30 s window a repeat request was neither
answered nor forwarded toward the genuine target, and the call site
still logged "respond" and bumped nodeinfo_cache_hits for a reply that
was never sent. A requester whose first reply was lost on a noisy link
got silence for the whole window.

Return false instead: the request flows through normal relay handling,
so the genuine node (or another cache-holder) can answer, while our own
spoofed TX stays bounded. Repeats of the same packet id are already
absorbed by the router's duplicate detection, and the stats counter now
only counts replies actually sent.

Also log purgeNode() only when a slot was actually cleared - it runs
for every NodeDB removal, including nodes the caches never tracked.

* TrafficManagement: consolidate NodeInfo-cache #if sprawl into one region

Fourteen scattered #if TMM_HAS_NODEINFO_CACHE guards (one per function,
each with its own #else stub of (void) casts) collapse into a single
guarded region holding every NodeInfo-cache-only function, terminated
by one #else block of no-op stub definitions. Because the stubs now
exist on every build, the call sites in runOnce(), purgeNode() and
purgeAll() drop their guards too; inner guards remain only for
orthogonal features (PKI, warm tier) and for real conditional work
(constructor allocation, PSRAM paths in shouldRespondToNodeInfo).

No behavior change. Compile-checked on both sides of the macro: the
native app build (stubs) and the native unit-test build (region).

* Router: resolve sender key only for PKI-decrypt candidates

perhapsDecode() resolved the sender's public key unconditionally for
every encrypted packet, before even checking whether the packet could
be PKI-decrypted (channel 0, unicast to us). Since copyPublicKey()
grew its TrafficManagement fallback tier, a full hot+warm miss - the
common case for channel traffic from senders outside both NodeDB
tiers - additionally walked the 2000-entry NodeInfo cache under its
lock, per packet, for a key that was then discarded.

Move the resolution inside the PKI-candidate branch; remotePublic and
haveRemoteKey had no consumers outside it.

* TrafficManagement: refresh NodeInfo membership hourly, not per-sweep

The 60 s sweep re-derived isMember with a per-entry NodeDB lookup:
O(entries x members) - about 700k node-number comparisons per minute on
a full PSRAM cache (2000 entries x 250 hot + 100 warm), with strided
PSRAM reads, all while holding cacheLock against the packet path.

Move the refresh into the hourly reconcile pass, which is already
O(members x entries): after the seeding loops (so the upsert pass still
sees last pass's bits for spareMembers protection), clear every
isMember bit and re-mark from both NodeDB tiers - including keyless
warm records, which seed nothing but are still members.

Accepted tradeoff, now documented on the field: membership lags a
passive NodeDB eviction by up to an hour (the entry just stays
LRU-sticky slightly longer). Additions stay immediate via the
write-through hooks, explicit removals via purgeNode().

* NodeDB: centralize bare-key commits in commitRemoteKey()

The two key-write sites that bypass updateUser() (admin-channel learn
in Router::perhapsDecode, manual verification in KeyVerificationModule)
each carried their own #if HAS_TRAFFIC_MANAGEMENT write-through
boilerplate - the pattern this PR itself had to retrofit twice, and
which any future direct key write would silently miss, leaving the
TrafficManagement cache divergent until the next hourly reconcile.

Add NodeDB::commitRemoteKey(n, key32, KeyCommitTrust): writes the key
to the hot store and routes the TrafficManagement write-through in one
place, with provenance explicit at the call site (AdminChannelProven
maps to TOFU-grade, ManuallyVerified to proven). The bypass sites keep
their reason for existing - bare-key commits with provenance that
updateUser's User-payload/TOFU-pin path cannot express - but no longer
know about TrafficManagement at all; both stale includes are dropped
(Router's was already unused on develop).

* docs: tick wrap-safety analysis, updated cadences, CodeRabbit doc fixes

node_info_stores.md gains a "Tick clocks and wrap safety" section
recording which mechanism keeps each modular tick clock honest: the
unified-cache clocks pair the 60 s sweep with read-time window resets,
the NodeInfo obs/resp clocks are sweep-only (hence the compile-time
invariant that maintainNodeInfoCacheLocked() is guarded by
TMM_HAS_NODEINFO_CACHE alone), and the warm tier is immune by design -
absolute unix-seconds, no wrap until 2106.

Also brought current with this series: membership refresh moved to the
hourly reconcile, throttled direct-response requests forward instead of
being consumed, the commitRemoteKey() bare-key funnel, and the
module-disabled gate on the write-through hooks.

CodeRabbit doc review (PR #11050): present the NodeInfo payload cache
as the third *identity* tier with the unified cache beside the chain,
and describe NodeInfoLite's flattened fields / satellite copy-out
accessors instead of the removed nested members. Two stale
docs/tmm_node_stores.md references in the header now point at the real
file.

* TrafficManagement: adapt tests to forwarded throttles and hourly membership

Throttle tests (PSRAM and NodeDB-fallback paths): a request inside the
30 s window now CONTINUEs into normal relay handling instead of being
consumed - assert no spoofed TX, no NAK suppression, and (PSRAM path)
that nodeinfo_cache_hits counts only replies actually sent.

Membership test (renamed reconcileMembershipMarking): the per-minute
sweep no longer refreshes isMember, so the test now pins down both
halves of the new contract - the very next sweep after a passive NodeDB
eviction still shows the stale member bit (the documented up-to-an-hour
lag), and a reconcile interval's worth of sweeps clears it.

Disabled-module test additionally proves the write-through hooks share
the has_traffic_management gate: a key commit while disabled must not
land in the NodeInfo cache.

Not covered here: a build permutation with TRAFFIC_MANAGEMENT_CACHE_SIZE
overridden to 0 (the configuration the maintenance-guard fix protects)
would need its own PlatformIO env plus guards on every unified-cache
test - left as a follow-up.

* test: make TMM fixture cleanup abort-safe in tearDown()

Several tests reset per-test global state (trafficManagementModule pointing at a
stack `module`, owner.public_key, the RTC fake clock) only after their assertions.
A TEST_ASSERT_* failure longjmps out and skips that trailing cleanup, leaving the
state to dangle into later cases - concretely, the next setUp()'s resetNodes()
would call trafficManagementModule->purgeAll() on a destroyed object.

Move the resets into tearDown(), which runs unconditionally between tests, and drop
the now-redundant per-test cleanups. Addresses a CodeRabbit review comment on
PR #11050.

* docs tidy

* Throttle NodeInfo direct responses

A direct response is addressed to the requesting packet's from field, which
is unauthenticated, and is sent by every neighbour that holds the target in
cache. One request therefore makes several nodes transmit at an address the
requester chose, and nothing limited how often that could be repeated.

Replies are now spaced per requester, which bounds how much any single node
can be made to receive, plus a global floor on how much airtime the feature
can consume. The check sits where a reply is about to be sent, so requests
declined for other reasons do not consume the budget.

* test: reconcile TMM direct-response tests with #11104 throttle

Makes the suite green for now. #11104's per-requester + global-floor
throttle (60 s) is layered over the branch's per-target throttle, so the
three existing "served again" checks (psram, fallback, sweep) now use a
fresh requester to avoid the per-requester window masking the mechanism
each one actually exercises. Adds a dedicated test for the new
per-requester + 1 s global-floor behaviour (the reflector-flood gap the
per-target throttle leaves open, and the bound that survives on
non-PSRAM builds).

Deferred: the branch's now-redundant fallback global stamp
(nodeInfoFallbackLastResponseMs) is left in place as a follow-up cleanup.

Clod wants credit.

* TMM: unify direct-response throttles into per-sender + per-target RAM tables

Replace the two path-specific NodeInfo-spoof throttles (per-entry respTick on
the PSRAM cache path, single global stamp on the fallback path) with three
symmetric bounds that behave identically with and without PSRAM:

  - per requester (60 s): how much any one node can be made to receive;
  - per target   (60 s): how often we vouch for the same identity;
  - global floor (1 s):  total airtime, the backstop once an attacker cycles
    requester/target past the 8-slot tables.

Both axes are fixed 8-slot LRU tables in internal RAM (not the PSRAM NodeInfo
cache), compared by wrap-safe uint32 ms subtraction, so there is no tick clock
and no sweep to maintain. directResponseAllowed() resolves both slots before
stamping either, so a reply one axis throttles never consumes the other's
budget, and records the send itself.

Retires: nodeInfoFallbackLastResponseMs, kNodeInfoResponseThrottleMs,
nowStampMs, the respTick byte + hasResponded bit on every cache entry,
currentRespTick/kNodeInfoRespTickMs/kNodeInfoThrottleTicks, and the sweep's
respTick clear. Renumbers peekNodeInfoFlagsForTest (drops the responded bit).

Tests: the psram/fallback throttle tests now assert the per-target axis at 60 s,
isolated via a different requester, proving it holds with and without PSRAM;
perRequesterAndGlobalFloor isolates the other two axes; the obsolete respTick
wrap-safety test is removed. 83/83 native cases pass.

* test: bump native-suite-count to 38 after upstream rebase

Upstream develop carries 38 test_* suite directories but its
native-suite-count file still reads 37 (a suite was added without
bumping the count). Rebasing onto develop inherits that stale file,
so the runner flags AMBER. Correct the registered total to 38.
