Add support for neighbor discovery and management in the MyMesh class.
This includes structures for neighbor information, methods for handling
neighbor advertisements, and control data reception. The new features
allow for dynamic neighbor management, enhancing the mesh network's
capabilities. Additionally, the maximum number of neighbors is set to
50 across various platform configurations.
Three real regressions from the 2026-07-19 upstream merge, all invisible to the
two prescribed smoke builds:
- heltec_tracker_v2/HeltecTrackerV2Board.cpp: the FEM trio
(setLoRaFemLnaEnabled/canControlLoRaFemLna/isLoRaFemLnaEnabled) was duplicated
verbatim by auto-merge, and upstream's new powerOff() (35f654ce) used
P_LORA_PA_POWER unguarded — a macro defined only for the tracker_v2 envs, while
heltec_tracker_v1_1 compiles the same board file. Guarded it the same way
LoRaFEMControl.cpp already guards that macro.
- SimpleMeshTables.h: the tracker variants pull in TFT_eSPI, whose
TFT_eSPI_ESP32_S3.h defines FS_NO_GLOBALS. That suppresses FS.h's own
'using fs::File', so File never reached global scope and every TU routed
through it failed with "'File' has not been declared" — here and at
simple_repeater/MyMesh.h:158. Restore the using when FS_NO_GLOBALS is set.
Explicit fs::File is not an option: File is also the global type on the
nRF52/RP2040 paths, which have no fs namespace.
- ST7735Display.cpp: upstream's HSPI fix (d30d8ed7) guarded on
HELTEC_LORA_V3 || HELTEC_TRACKER_V2. heltec_tracker_v1_1 matches neither and
fell through to &SPI1, which is not instantiated on ESP32. Added it to the guard.
Also parks LilyGo_TLora_V2_1_1_6_{repeater,room_server}_observer_mqtt with a
trailing underscore (the nibble_screen_connect convention from b8f1fad6), which
also excludes them from the workflows' enumeration regex. That board does NOT
fit and never did: 2,069,397 / 1,966,080 = 105.3% on flex, with no webconfig and
no upstream merge. It has been failing on production all along — the release
ships 30 envs, not 32 — hidden because build.sh does not propagate pio's exit
code. Dropping webconfig would recover ~46 KB of a ~101 KB deficit, so that is
not a fix. Rationale and options in .scratch/tlora-v2-oversize.md.
First upstream merge since the 2026-06-06 base (191 upstream commits). 14 files
conflicted; resolutions below.
Fleet-critical check (Constraint 1): upstream reordered NodePrefs members
(rx_boosted_gain / path_hash_mode moved to the struct tail) but did NOT change
/com_prefs. Persistence is written field-by-field at explicit offsets, so member
order is in-memory only. Verified the fork's writeCommonPrefsImage() is
byte-identical to upstream's inline writer at every offset (79 pad, 121, 122,
290-294). No migration needed.
Resolutions:
- CommonCLI.h: kept the fork's NodePrefs (superset) and adopted upstream's
setRxBoostedGain(bool)->bool signature change, which CommonCLI.cpp now uses to
report unsupported. Corrected a stale comment claiming rx_boosted_gain lives at
offset 79 (it is a pad; the field is at 290).
- CommonCLI.cpp: kept the fork's legacy /com_prefs migration and the extracted
writeCommonPrefsImage() call.
- UITask.cpp: three-way merge - upstream's drawTextCentered + powering-off
screen, plus the fork's WITH_WEBCONFIG portal/reboot screens.
- ESP32Board.cpp, MeshCore.h, platformio.ini: kept both sides (fork OTA additions
alongside upstream powerOff/enterDeepSleep and Packet.cpp).
- MicroNMEALocationProvider.h: took upstream's claim/release and added the
_claims member they depend on.
- MyMesh.cpp/.h (repeater + room server): kept the fork's superset defaults.
- Removed duplicate declarations auto-merge produced: RadioLibWrapper::_cad_enabled
and MyMesh::getCADEnabled().
Verification: native suite 15/15 (incl. upstream's new test_mesh_tables), both
MQTT smoke builds green, ArduinoJson pin check passes. Hardware validation next.
Replace direct JSON construction in MQTTMessageBuilder with calls to
MQTTPayloadBuilder for building status, packet, and raw messages.
This change improves code maintainability and reduces duplication by
centralizing message formatting logic. Additionally, update platformio.ini
to include ArduinoJson dependency for JSON handling.
Introduce a web configuration portal for easier node management and
provisioning without serial CLI. Enhance MQTT functionality with
improved IATA code validation, dynamic slot management, and
background NTP synchronization. Update web UI elements for better
user experience and security notes regarding open AP usage.
Credit: @yellowcooln (PR #12). Adds Wireless Tracker v1.1 board
def and MQTT observer envs for v1.1/v2; gate FEM control so v1.1
builds without KCT8103L pins.
Integrates Mike Carper's transmission-reliability work (direct retries with
SNR-adaptive backoff and CR, flood retry controls, alt-path replies, flood
channel gates) plus its upstream/dev base (as of 2026-07-06) on top of the
observer stack. The flex branch is untouched; this branch is the experimental
integration line.
Conflict-resolution decisions, for future re-syncs (git rerere is enabled and
has recorded these):
- NodePrefs adopts keymind/upstream member order + retry/flood tail. Member
order is in-memory only: /com_prefs stays field-by-field with the same
canonical file order both sides already share through offset 294; keymind
appends the retry tail at 295+ (new canonical size 676). Flex fleet files
load unchanged; retry fields default via direct_retry_prefs_magic.
- loadPrefsInt keeps the fork's legacy MQTT-gap recovery but moves its
detection boundary from 'extra > 5' to 'extra > LEGACY_MQTT_GAP_3SLOT (864)'
so keymind-size tails take the normal read path. COM_PREFS_TAIL_BYTES
retired.
- Dispatcher/RadioLibWrappers: fork watchdog additions + keymind TX overrides
and CAD busy counter are unioned; RxReservePacketManager::queueOutbound
follows upstream's new bool return (false when shedding).
- CommonCLI: fork observer dispatch + versioned /mqtt_prefs machinery kept;
keymind CLI (retry/flood/radioat) taken; duplicate CAD/FEM handlers and
sanitise lines deduped (kept keymind placements to minimize future diff).
- MyMesh (repeater/room): fork alerter/OTA/observer wiring kept; keymind
scheduled-radio system replaces the old pending_* temp-radio members;
applySavedRadioParams() replaces raw setParams at startup.
- ESP32Board: fork manifest-OTA + keymind powerOff/deepSleep and stopOTAUpdate
unioned; startOTAUpdate keeps fork's STA-aware IP with keymind's idempotency
guard.
- build.sh taken wholesale from keymind (fleet builds use GH Actions).
Verified: Heltec_v3_repeater_observer_mqtt, Heltec_v3_repeater,
heltec_v4_repeater_observer_mqtt, Heltec_v3_room_server_observer_mqtt build;
host migration harness (13 MQTT + non-MQTT scenarios) passes with updated
expectations (676-byte /com_prefs; odd-size files normalize on save, not
load); native unit tests 13/13.
companion_radio has its own NodePrefs without radio_fem_rxgain (matching
upstream, which doesn't wire companion either), so the startup call added in
e905451d broke every companion build:
MyMesh.cpp:973: error: 'struct NodePrefs' has no member named 'radio_fem_rxgain'
It went unnoticed behind the pre-existing companion build failures.
Also port upstream's FEM LNA overrides for heltec_t096 and heltec_tracker_v2
verbatim (board overrides + isLNAEnabled/const getters), so all three boards
upstream wires now match instead of reporting unsupported. Both variant files
compile; those targets still fail overall on the pre-existing non-observer
MQTT-source build-config issue (unchanged with this work stashed).
Match upstream pin map (KCT8103L CSD/CTX, I2C 6/17, LORA_TX_POWER=9) and restore meshcore LoRaFEMControl.cpp and HeltecTrackerV2Board.cpp. Run ESP32 at 240MHz for MQTT/WiFi bridge headroom. Sensor env drops fork-only ENV_PIN overrides to match upstream.
Made-with: Cursor
Upstream adds LoRaFEMControl for a KCT8103L pinout; this variant uses GC1109 (P_LORA_PA_*). Reintroduce the class with the same API and wire HeltecTrackerV2Board through it so FEM logic matches platformio.ini.
Made-with: Cursor
Reverted prior dev merge, then merged current meshcore-dev dev. Resolved
CommonCLI by restoring MQTT prefs flow with upstream com_prefs layout
(rx_boosted_gain at offset 79), rxgain CLI, poweroff/shutdown, and FEM
variant files from upstream.
