Contacts cache accumulates all known node names from device contacts
and adverts into a JSONL file, so @mentions work even after contacts
are removed from the device. Background thread scans adverts every
45s and parses advert payloads to extract public keys and node names.
Existing Contacts page now shows merged view with "Cache" badge for
contacts not on device, plus source filter (All/On device/Cache only).

The background thread now retries with exponential backoff (5s→60s)
instead of giving up after 3 attempts. Also accepts detected device
name from bridge even when bridge health status is unhealthy.

Added req_status, req_neighbours, and trace commands with 15s timeout
as they communicate with repeaters and need time for responses.

Strip leading whitespace before checking if line starts with '{' to
ensure JSON packet lines are properly filtered regardless of indentation.

The werkzeug development server produces "write() before start_response"
errors during WebSocket upgrade. These are cosmetic - the connection
still works via Socket.IO retry. Added a logging filter to suppress
these errors for cleaner logs.

JSON lines with payload_typename (internal mesh protocol data like
CONTROL packets) are now filtered out from console output, showing
only the human-readable results.

- version.py now captures and exports GIT_BRANCH
- Display branch badge next to version in menu (e.g., "2026.01.20+abc1234 [dev]")
- /api/version now returns branch field
- /api/check-update uses frozen branch instead of hardcoded "dev"
- Allows proper update checking for both dev and main branches

Bridge now detects device name from meshcli prompt ("DeviceName|*")
and exposes it via /health endpoint. mc-webui fetches this at startup
and uses RuntimeConfig for dynamic device name throughout the app.
Fallback chain: prompt detection → .infos command → MC_DEVICE_NAME env var

gevent async_mode requires monkey-patching at startup and was causing
6-12s page load times (vs 1-2s before). Threading mode doesn't require
special setup and is sufficient for occasional Console commands.
- Change async_mode from 'gevent' to 'threading'
- Remove gevent/gevent-websocket from requirements (bridge has its own)

Previous regex was too specific with \[\d+\] pattern.
New pattern ^[^|]+\|\* matches any line starting with <name>|*

Background tasks lose socket context, so emit() doesn't work.
Fixed by capturing socket ID and using socketio.emit(room=sid).

Browser blocks mixed content (HTTPS page -> HTTP WebSocket on port 5001).
Solution: Route WebSocket through main Flask app which goes through
existing HTTPS reverse proxy.
- Add Flask-SocketIO to main mc-webui app
- WebSocket handler proxies commands to bridge via HTTP
- Remove port 5001 external exposure (no longer needed)
- Remove duplicate title from console header
