The startup preflight re-implemented the identity collision rules in
main.py, reconstructing IdentityManager state by string-parsing its
'type:name' labels, and every configured identity was parsed and
constructed twice (once for preflight, once for loading), duplicating
config warnings on each start.
Move batch validation into IdentityManager.validate_specs(), which
checks a batch of IdentitySpec entries against registered identities
and against each other without mutating state, and relocate
IdentityConfigurationError next to it. The daemon now parses room
server and companion configs once during preflight and the identity
loaders reuse the cached specs.
standardize default region on mesh.default_region (remove legacy region_default_scope usage)
add/align CLI support for owner.info, path.hash.mode, and loop.detect with validation
wire UI terminal get/set + autocomplete/help for owner.info, path.hash.mode, loop.detect
extend update_radio_config to persist owner_info for UI set owner.info
add and use shared packet utility for advert creation + default-region transport scoping
refactor repeater and room-server advert paths to reuse shared packet logic
Installed openhop_core releases predating the sender_prefix change
(paired with fd43d86) reject the kwarg, so restoring queued messages
raised TypeError and aborted companion init. Detect support via the
QueuedMessage signature and drop persisted prefixes with a warning on
older cores instead of failing the boot.
A transient SQLite error during boot made companion_load_channels/
contacts/messages swallow the exception and return [], which is
indistinguishable from "no data". The Public-channel backfill then ran
over the empty store, so clients saw their channels wiped and later
saves could overwrite the persisted state.
- companion_load_{contacts,channels,messages} now return None on error
vs [] for genuinely empty, and log the companion hash
- add companion_count_{channels,messages} helpers
- extract shared _restore_companion_state used by both the boot and
hot-reload companion paths; each load is cross-checked against the
table's row count for the hash, retried once after a short delay,
and raises CompanionStateLoadError if it still cannot load, aborting
companion init (and the Public backfill) instead of starting empty
- log restored row counts per companion; log when the channel store
rejects a persisted channel (unchecked channels.set return)
- trim_companion_contacts_to_fit refuses to trim on a failed load
