- Added `companion_import_repeater_contacts` method in `SQLiteHandler` to import repeater adverts into a companion's contact store, with options for filtering by contact types, last seen hours, and import limits.
- Introduced `_get_sqlite_handler` method in `CompanionAPIEndpoints` to ensure the SQLite handler is available for contact import operations.
- Created `import_repeater_contacts` endpoint to handle POST requests for importing contacts, validating input parameters, and returning the count of successfully imported contacts.
- Updated the frontend to reflect changes in the contact import process, ensuring a seamless user experience.
- Functionality of Packet.apply_path_hash_mode and get_path_hashes
- Engine flood_forward and direct_forward with real multi-byte encoded packets
- PacketBuilder.create_trace payload structure and TraceHandler parsing
- Enforcement of max-hop boundaries per hash size
- Introduced `path_hash_mode` setting in `config.yaml.example` to specify the hash size for flood packets.
- Updated `ConfigManager` to re-apply the path hash mode when the mesh section changes, with validation for acceptable values (0, 1, 2).
- Enhanced `RepeaterDaemon` to set the default path hash mode during initialization, ensuring consistent handling of flood packets.
- Removed redundant call to mark_seen() for duplicate packets.
- Added validation to ensure hop count does not exceed the maximum limit before appending to the packet path.
- Updated logic to check for path size constraints when appending hash bytes, improving packet processing efficiency.
- Updated IdentityManager to include public key in identity details when retrieving identities.
- Introduced a new method in RepeaterDaemon for adding companions from configuration, supporting hot-reload functionality.
- Enhanced error handling for companion registration, ensuring proper validation of identity keys and settings.
- Updated API endpoints to include configured companions in the response, improving visibility of companion status and configuration.
- Added support for Meshcore KISS modem firmware in configuration, allowing users to set `radio_type: kiss` and configure serial port and baud rate.
- Updated `config.yaml.example` to include KISS modem settings.
- Modified `manage.sh` to install with hardware extras for KISS support.
- Enhanced `setup-radio-config.sh` to prompt for radio type and KISS modem settings.
- Updated API endpoints to handle KISS modem configurations and hardware options.
- Improved error handling for missing configuration sections.
This update improves flexibility for users utilizing KISS modems alongside SX1262 hardware.
