Add a first-class Raw Packets feature that captures every inbound MeshCore
packet from the LetsMesh `packets` feed exactly as received, independent of
how the collector later classifies it.
Capture & storage
- New `RawPacket` model + migration (raw_packets table) with single and
composite indexes for the dominant filter-then-sort-by-newest queries.
- Collector-side `RAW_PACKET_CAPTURE_ENABLED` flag (default off); capture hook
reuses the decoder's per-hex cache (no second decode), one row per observer
reception, never blocks event dispatch.
- Separate `RAW_PACKET_RETENTION_DAYS` (falls back to DATA_RETENTION_DAYS);
cleanup runs regardless of capture so disabling drains the table. Raw-packet
observers retained in the is_observer recompute union.
API
- `GET /packets` and `/packets/{id}` with rich filtering, role-aware Redis
cache key, and channel-visibility redaction (restricted-channel packets are
returned metadata-only, not hidden, so pagination counts stay stable).
Web
- `FEATURE_PACKETS` flag (default off). Responsive Packets page (table desktop,
cards mobile) plus a Packet Detail page (breadcrumb nav, raw hex + decoded).
- Nav entry after Messages on all three surfaces; home.js reordered so Map
precedes Members; new packets icon + colour.
Finer-grained classification
- Replace the single `letsmesh_packet` catch-all with per-payload-type event
types (req, ack, encrypted_direct, encrypted_channel, grp_data, multipart,
control, raw_custom, ...); letsmesh_packet kept only as the unresolved-type
safety net.
Link from structured tables
- Add `packet_hash` to advertisements and messages (populated at ingest);
exact `packet_hash` filter on /packets; cube-icon link on the Adverts and
Messages lists -> /packets?packet_hash=<hash>, shown only when the feature is
on and the row has a stored hash.
Docs/config: .env.example, docker-compose (collector + web), AGENTS.md,
SCHEMAS.md, docs/letsmesh.md, docs/upgrading.md (## v0.13.0), en/nl i18n, and a
plan/tasks doc under docs/plans/.

- Rename ChannelVisibility.PUBLIC to ChannelVisibility.COMMUNITY
- Update stored value from 'public' to 'community' across model, schema, API, CLI, and frontend
- Add Alembic migration to update existing database rows
- Consolidate upgrade docs: merge v0.11.0, v0.12.0, v0.13.0 into single v0.11.0 section
- Add i18n visibility level translation keys (en, nl)
- Update section headings on channels page to use t() for i18n
- Keep visibility badges lowercase per UI design
Replaces env-var channel keys with a Channel database model and periodic
DB refresh in the collector. Adds Channels dashboard page with QR codes,
channel visibility filtering on messages/dashboard APIs, and channel card
navigation to filtered messages view.
Track advertisement route type (flood/transport_flood/direct/transport_direct)
and node advert timestamp to distinguish zero-hop from flood adverts, improve
deduplication with 300s buckets, and default all dashboard/ad-API queries to
flood-only (including NULL for historical records).
- Add path_len column to event_observers table with Alembic migration
- Create shared observer_utils.py for building observer responses
- Extract SNR and path_len from LetsMesh uploads via normalizer
- Pass snr/path_len from all 4 handlers to add_event_observer()
- Add expandable observer detail sub-tables to messages and ads pages
- Rename Receivers column to Observers with updated i18n key
- Add satellite dish icon to observer badges and detail rows
- Add mobile card observer detail toggle
- Show full datetime tooltip on hover for relative times
- Hide Path column from advertisement observer tables (not populated)
Simplify the variable name to remove the legacy LetsMesh decoder prefix.
Also fix unparenthesized except tuples in web/app.py and promote the
parenthesized-exception rule to a prominent position in AGENTS.md.
Remove the meshcore_interface component in favor of external
meshcore-packet-capture for data ingestion. Rename receiver_node_id
to observer_node_id across all models, schemas, handlers, and API
routes. Add Alembic migration for the column/table renames. Fix
frontend JS property name mismatch that prevented the Receiver column
from displaying observer data.
Update path hash handling to accept variable-length hex-encoded hashes
(e.g. "4a" for single-byte, "b3fa" for multibyte) instead of requiring
exactly 2-character hashes. Bump meshcore dependency to >=2.3.0.
- Update normalizer to accept even-length hex strings >= 2 chars
- Update schemas and model docstrings for variable-length hashes
- Add tests for multibyte and mixed-length path hash round-trips
- Fix web test flakiness from local .env datetime locale leaking
