Describe the bug

In the contacts details, it ought to be that the hop count of the last received advert is shown even if there is no path negotioated.

For example, it shows like

Route: Flood (seen 4H)

But for many contacts that hop count does not show up:

Route: Flood (?)

Which device are you using

LilyGO T-Deck Plus

Which Firmware are you using

v0.9.12.3

Regards!

Fixed in v0.9.14

The last hop count is kept after a reboot and when many nodes are heard. A node that is now heard directly shows Direct instead of an old hop count.

A node that is now heard directly shows Direct instead of an old hop count.

Wrong!

v0.9.14 on T-Deck.

Another node just side by.

Sent a zero-hop advert.

In the contacts screen, it shows as F.

Only after I send a message and get the ACK back, it changes to 0H (and stays at 0H over a reboot, in case the reboot actually works).
