- Updated record_packet_only method to skip logging for TRACE packets, as TraceHelper manages trace paths.
- Enhanced documentation to clarify the handling of TRACE packets in the web UI.
- Added tests to ensure TRACE packets are not recorded, maintaining data integrity.
- Added local_identity parameter to RepeaterDaemon for improved trace path matching.
- Refactored trace path handling in TraceHelper to support multi-byte hashes and structured hops.
- Updated methods to ensure compatibility with new trace data formats and improved logging.
- Enhanced tests to validate new trace processing logic and path handling.
- Added functionality to heal companion registration names with empty values.
- Improved handling of identity keys and public key derivation for companions.
- Updated API endpoints to support companion identity lookups using name, lookup_identity_key, or public_key_prefix.
- Enhanced OpenAPI documentation to clarify requirements for identity creation, updates, and deletions, including trimming whitespace from names.
- Modify TX modes: forward, monitor, and add no_tx, allowing for flexible packet handling.
- Updated configuration and API endpoints to support the new modes.
- Adjusted logic in RepeaterHandler to manage packet processing based on the selected mode.
- Enhanced CLI commands to reflect the new mode settings.
- Added tests for each TX mode to ensure correct behavior.
- 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
- Removed redundant original_path assignment in `RepeaterHandler` to streamline packet processing.
- Introduced `_is_direct_final_hop` helper method in `PacketRouter` to determine if a packet is the final destination for direct routes with an empty path.
- Updated comments in `PacketRouter` to clarify the handling of packets during routing, especially for direct forwarding scenarios.
- Adjusted logic to ensure packets are correctly processed or delivered based on their routing status, enhancing overall packet management.
- 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.
