Updated the fault alert functionality to include an optional region name for scoping alert floods, allowing operators to override the default scope. Introduced a list of banned channels (e.g., Public PSK, `#test`, `#bot`) to prevent spamming community channels with alerts. The implementation ensures that alerts are only sent to private PSKs or non-banned hashtags. Relevant changes were made across multiple files, including updates to the CLI for setting and retrieving the new `alert.region` preference.
Implemented a new fault alert system that broadcasts notifications over LoRa when WiFi or MQTT connections are down for a specified duration. The alerts are configurable via CLI commands, allowing operators to set private PSKs or hashtags for alert channels. Default settings for alert thresholds and intervals are established, and the system ensures that alerts do not spam the public channel. Updated relevant files to integrate this feature into the MyMesh implementations and CLI handling.
Updated MyMesh implementations in simple_repeater and simple_room_server to set mqtt_origin to an empty string, allowing the effective origin to follow node_name during publishing. Introduced new functions in MQTTBridge to manage effective origin retrieval and refresh from preferences, ensuring consistent behavior across MQTT operations. This change simplifies the origin management and enhances clarity in the codebase.
Reorder login auth so that, in priority:
1. Admin password match -> ADMIN (overrides ACL — a region_mgr or
other ACL'd client who knows the admin pw can still upgrade).
2. Sender pubkey is in the ACL -> use the stored permissions
(no password required; pubkey is itself an identity assertion).
3. Guest password match (or blank pw when guest pw is unset) -> GUEST.
4. Otherwise -> reject.
Previously the ACL was consulted only when `data[0] == 0` (blank pw),
so a non-blank password would skip the ACL entirely and fall through
to the password block. Phones that sent any non-empty password field
— even a stale one — would never see their ACL-granted role; they'd
either be rejected or assigned the role implied by the password match.
Implementation is a single-line change: gate the ACL lookup on "the
admin pw did NOT match". When admin matches, we skip the lookup so
the existing password block sets ADMIN unconditionally (the right
behavior for the upgrade case). When admin does not match, the ACL
takes over; only on an ACL miss do we fall through to guest/reject.
Introduces a fourth ACL role (value 4) that can manage the region map
without full admin privileges. The role is intended for trusted users
who curate regions on a repeater but should not have access to general
admin commands.
ClientACL:
- Widen PERM_ACL_ROLE_MASK from 2 to 3 bits so the new value fits.
- Add PERM_ACL_REGION_MGR and ClientInfo::isRegionMgr().
- Exempt region_mgr entries from least-recently-active eviction in
putClient(), same as admins.
simple_repeater:
- Phones may still gate UI on the legacy is_admin byte (reply_data[6]),
so report region_mgr as admin there. Without this, the phone CLI
falls back to guest view.
- Allow region_mgr to send TXT_MSG CLI commands. handleCommand()
gates non-whitelisted commands with "Err - not permitted". The
whitelist covers region.* (read+write) plus a small set of
read-only queries (get, ver, board, neighbors, clock, sensor
get/list).
- Pass the ClientInfo* through to handleCommand and drop the
redundant sender_timestamp parameter (derived from
sender->last_timestamp; NULL means Serial CLI).
- Use ~PERM_ACL_ROLE_MASK instead of ~0x03 when clearing role bits
on login, so the wider mask is honored.
- Remove extra blank line in companion_radio main.cpp before NRF52/STM32 block
- Revert unintended STM32_PLATFORM ETHERNET_ENABLED branch (no STM32 ethernet target exists, and it incorrectly included nrf52 headers)
- Drop renovate annotations from rak4631 platformio.ini (no renovate config in this repo)
Changed the default setting for TX packets from disabled to 'advert' across multiple files, including documentation and example implementations. This aligns the behavior of the MQTT bridge with the new default preferences, ensuring that only the node's own advert packets are uplinked by default. Updated relevant comments and documentation to reflect these changes.
