This pull request is a unified, robust cache and reconciliation logic, improved test coverage, and several security and maintainability enhancements. It also includes important fixes to the AdminModule session passkey logic, improving rollover safety.

The most important changes are:

TrafficManagement NodeInfo Cache & NodeDB Reconciliation

  • Merged and reconciled the NodeInfo cache logic, ensuring the TMM cache is always a superset of NodeDB (hot store ∪ warm tier), with write-through hooks, purge-on-removal, and tick-based clocks.
  • Implemented full purging of TMM caches on factory reset, DB reset, and explicit node removal to prevent stale identities from being resurrected. (NodeDB.cpp) [1] [2] [3]
  • Added write-through hooks so that every user identity commit (and key commit, even when bypassing updateUser) is immediately reflected in the TMM cache, ensuring consistency and up-to-date provenance. (NodeDB.cpp, Router.cpp) [1] [2]

Key and Signer Provenance Handling

  • Refactored key copying logic: introduced copyPublicKeyAuthoritative for authoritative keys (hot/warm only), and enhanced copyPublicKey to opportunistically use the TMM cache as a last resort. Added isVerifiedSignerForKey to robustly track signer provenance across tiers. (NodeDB.cpp, NodeDB.h, WarmNodeStore.cpp, WarmNodeStore.h) [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Test Coverage and Hooks

  • Unified and extended test hooks from both branches, including coverage for warm-pin, hot/warm seeding, updateUser hooks, removal-purge, key-hook provenance, tick-saturation, and sweep-membership.

🤝 Attestations

  • I have tested that my proposed changes behave as described.
  • I have tested that my proposed changes do not cause any obvious regressions on the following devices:

    • Other (please specify below)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security

    • Improved node identity/key “write-through” so verified signer status and cached info stay consistent after remote updates, resets, and warm rehydration.
    • Hardened NodeInfo direct-response provenance and replay gating to reduce spoofing and stale reuse.
  • Performance & Reliability

    • Enhanced NodeInfo caching with tick-based observation/response windows, stronger throttling, and deterministic fallback behavior.
    • Added targeted cache purges during node reset/removal to prevent outdated data from resurfacing.
  • Documentation

    • Updated node identity store and cache synchronization documentation.
  • Tests

    • Expanded scenarios for cache-vs-NodeDB fallback, replay protection, throttling, and key hygiene.

Pull request overview

This PR extends the TrafficManagementModule (TMM) NodeInfo cache into a more robust multi-tier identity/key store that stays reconciled with NodeDB (hot store + warm tier), adds purge/write-through hooks to prevent stale identity resurrection, and strengthens AdminModule session passkey rollover safety.

Changes:

  • Added reconciliation + membership marking so the TMM NodeInfo cache remains a superset of NodeDB identities, with staleness/throttle gates and signer-proven provenance handling.
  • Added write-through hooks and purge hooks so NodeDB updates/removals/factory reset propagate into TMM caches (and key learns that bypass updateUser() are also reflected).
  • Improved AdminModule session passkey generation and expiry checks using a stronger RNG source and rollover-safe timing helpers; expanded unit tests for the new cache semantics and gates.

NomDeTom added a commit to NomDeTom/MeshtasticFirmware that referenced this pull request Jul 18, 2026
node_info_stores.md gains a "Tick clocks and wrap safety" section
recording which mechanism keeps each modular tick clock honest: the
unified-cache clocks pair the 60 s sweep with read-time window resets,
the NodeInfo obs/resp clocks are sweep-only (hence the compile-time
invariant that maintainNodeInfoCacheLocked() is guarded by
TMM_HAS_NODEINFO_CACHE alone), and the warm tier is immune by design -
absolute unix-seconds, no wrap until 2106.

Also brought current with this series: membership refresh moved to the
hourly reconcile, throttled direct-response requests forward instead of
being consumed, the commitRemoteKey() bare-key funnel, and the
module-disabled gate on the write-through hooks.

CodeRabbit doc review (PR meshtastic#11050): present the NodeInfo payload cache
as the third *identity* tier with the unified cache beside the chain,
and describe NodeInfoLite's flattened fields / satellite copy-out
accessors instead of the removed nested members. Two stale
docs/tmm_node_stores.md references in the header now point at the real
file.

NomDeTom added a commit to NomDeTom/MeshtasticFirmware that referenced this pull request Jul 18, 2026
Several tests reset per-test global state (trafficManagementModule pointing at a
stack `module`, owner.public_key, the RTC fake clock) only after their assertions.
A TEST_ASSERT_* failure longjmps out and skips that trailing cleanup, leaving the
state to dangle into later cases - concretely, the next setUp()'s resetNodes()
would call trafficManagementModule->purgeAll() on a destroyed object.

Move the resets into tearDown(), which runs unconditionally between tests, and drop
the now-redundant per-test cleanups. Addresses a CodeRabbit review comment on
PR meshtastic#11050.

Several tests reset per-test global state (trafficManagementModule pointing at a
stack `module`, owner.public_key, the RTC fake clock) only after their assertions.
A TEST_ASSERT_* failure longjmps out and skips that trailing cleanup, leaving the
state to dangle into later cases - concretely, the next setUp()'s resetNodes()
would call trafficManagementModule->purgeAll() on a destroyed object.

Move the resets into tearDown(), which runs unconditionally between tests, and drop
the now-redundant per-test cleanups. Addresses a CodeRabbit review comment on
PR meshtastic#11050.

node_info_stores.md gains a "Tick clocks and wrap safety" section
recording which mechanism keeps each modular tick clock honest: the
unified-cache clocks pair the 60 s sweep with read-time window resets,
the NodeInfo obs/resp clocks are sweep-only (hence the compile-time
invariant that maintainNodeInfoCacheLocked() is guarded by
TMM_HAS_NODEINFO_CACHE alone), and the warm tier is immune by design -
absolute unix-seconds, no wrap until 2106.

Also brought current with this series: membership refresh moved to the
hourly reconcile, throttled direct-response requests forward instead of
being consumed, the commitRemoteKey() bare-key funnel, and the
module-disabled gate on the write-through hooks.

CodeRabbit doc review (PR meshtastic#11050): present the NodeInfo payload cache
as the third *identity* tier with the unified cache beside the chain,
and describe NodeInfoLite's flattened fields / satellite copy-out
accessors instead of the removed nested members. Two stale
docs/tmm_node_stores.md references in the header now point at the real
file.

The NodeInfo direct-response path answered queries on behalf of other nodes
from an unauthenticated, never-expiring cache while suppressing the genuine
request (STOP). That let a long-gone or forged identity be served as a
fresh-looking, authoritative reply indefinitely. Three fixes:

- Staleness gate: refuse to spoof a reply for a node not actually heard within
  ~6h (PSRAM cache via lastObservedMs; NodeDB fallback via sinceLastSeen, which
  tolerates last_heard==0 when the clock is unset). A stale entry now falls
  through so the real request propagates instead of being answered for a dead
  node.

- Key hygiene: mirror NodeDB::updateUser() PKI checks when caching overheard
  NodeInfo - reject a packet advertising our own public key, and pin keys (drop
  a NodeInfo whose key mismatches an already-known key from NodeDB or from our
  own cache). Prevents cache poisoning / key substitution via the spoofed-reply
  path.

- Response throttle: at most one spoofed reply per target node per 30s. Direct
  responses bypass the per-sender rate limiter (they STOP the request first) and
  the reply target is attacker-controlled, so this bounds airtime exhaustion and
  reflected floods. Recorded in a new NodeInfoPayloadEntry.lastResponseMs
  (PSRAM; self-expiring timestamp compare, no sweep needed).

Tests: native NodeDB-fallback staleness (stale drops, fresh serves) plus
PSRAM-guarded staleness, throttle, and key-mismatch cases.

Comment-only. Tags each site flagged in the review of the direct-response
throttle/staleness/key-hygiene change so the follow-ups are visible in-context:

T1 throttle black-holes distinct requestors; T2 per-target key doesn't bound
aggregate TX; T3 non-PSRAM fallback unthrottled; T4 millis-wrap defeats the
staleness gate; T5 redundant second O(n) scan for the throttle stamp;
T6 duplicated 32-byte key compares; T7 sinceLastSeen() called twice;
T8 two 6h constants can desync; T9 clockMs()==0 collides with the 0 sentinel.

updateUser() is the single chokepoint through which every remote
identity/key write enters NodeDB (key-verification keys stay in
CryptoEngine's pending buffer until a NodeInfo carries them here), so
one hook at its tail lets the NodeInfo cache reflect a commit
immediately instead of waiting up to a minute for the reconcile sweep -
which stays in place as the anti-entropy backstop.

onNodeIdentityCommitted() upserts the full User: NodeDB's key is
authoritative (a conflicting cached key is stale residue - replaced,
provenance dropped), a keyless commit keeps an already-cached TOFU key,
and signer provenance transfers only for the committed key. The
observation stamp is never touched: knowledge is not observation, so a
hook write can never make a never-heard node servable - covered by the
new test alongside immediate copyUser/copyPublicKey visibility.

(cherry picked from commit e160b89)
NodeDB::removeNodeByNum() already forgets the node everywhere NodeDB
owns - hot store, satellite stores, warm tier - but the TrafficManagement
caches kept the deleted identity: the NodeInfo entry went on feeding the
key pool (NodeDB::copyPublicKey) and name rehydration, and the unified
slot kept its role/next-hop/dedup state, resurrecting the node on next
contact.

Add purgeNode(): clears both the unified cache slot and the NodeInfo
cache entry, called from removeNodeByNum() alongside the warm-tier
removal. Removal means full removal; passive eviction never calls this,
and the reconcile sweep will not re-seed a node absent from both NodeDB
tiers.

Test: an observed identity plus a next-hop hint both vanish after
removeNodeByNum(). Left for CI to execute per request.

Adopt tmm-fix-superset's retention model (reconciliation decisions #3,
#4, #9 in .notes/tmm-super-superset-reconciliation.md):

- Entries are never evicted on a timer. The 7-day retention TTL and its
  third tick clock (retTick) are gone; wrap-safety rests entirely on the
  sweep's presence-bit saturation, and a quiet entry keeps its value
  (pubkey pool, name rehydration). Slots are reclaimed only by
  trust/membership-tiered LRU on insert - age scored by obsTick, with
  never-observed entries counting oldest - or by an explicit purge.
- Membership refresh (entry -> NodeDB contains checks) runs every sweep;
  the heavy seeding pass runs at boot and then hourly, with the
  write-through hooks carrying immediacy in between.
- Tick constants and helpers move into the header beside the existing
  UnifiedCache tick idiom, with static_asserts tying the tick windows to
  the fallback path's seconds/ms forms.

Kept from tmm-fix-2 (decision #4): the warm tier is still seeded
(key-only records via WarmNodeStore::entryAt) so the invariant remains
cache superset-of hot AND warm, and the spareMembers guard still stops
seeding from churning one member out for another when hot+warm exceeds
the cache. Entry shrinks to 128 B (2000 entries = 256 kB).

The TTL-based retention test is superseded by a no-timed-eviction test:
a quiet keyed entry survives 9 days of sweeps while the serve gate
saturates as before.

Adopt tmm-fix-superset's hook coverage (reconciliation decisions #5-#8):

- onNodeKeyCommitted(): write-through for the two key-write sites that
  bypass NodeDB::updateUser - the Router's admin-key learn (TOFU-grade)
  and KeyVerificationModule's manual-verification commit (proven=true,
  the strongest provenance the cache can carry). Both were coverage gaps
  in the tmm-fix-2 write-through design.
- updateUser's hook call now transfers signer status key-matched
  (isVerifiedSignerForKey) instead of the node's bare signed flag, and
  runs on acceptance rather than only on change.
- purgeAll(): factoryReset() and resetNodes() clear both TMM tables -
  removal-is-full-removal applies to bulk resets too, without relying on
  the usual post-reset reboot.
- purgeNode() reuses the existing finders instead of open-coded scans
  and logs the (user-initiated) purge.
- peekNodeInfoFlagsForTest(): flag introspection so saturation and
  membership tests can assert sweep effects directly.

Port tmm-fix-superset's unique tests, adapted to run natively under
TMM_HAS_NODEINFO_CACHE (reconciliation decision #11):

- keyHook_upsertsAndGovernsProvenance: TOFU learn -> manual-verification
  upgrade -> NodeDB-senior rotation resets provenance.
- tickSaturation_sweepClearsObserved: the sweep saturates hasObserved
  past the serve window, the entry persists (no TTL), and a full
  256-tick clock wrap cannot alias a saturated stamp back to fresh.
- sweepMembershipMarking: reconciliation seeds a hot identity as
  member+fullUser+unobserved; the next sweep clears membership once the
  node leaves NodeDB, while the entry itself persists.

tmm-fix-2's tests (warm pin, hot/warm seeding, updateUser write-through,
removal purge - now also asserting the entry is gone via the new peek
hook - and the no-timed-eviction rewrite) were already on this branch.
Suite now counts 70 test functions.

Two tests needed updating for interactions the validation run surfaced:

- The meshtastic#11035 test (ignoresUnsignedSignerIdentity) was written for a
  world without the native NodeInfo cache: it needs the NodeDB fallback
  path (dropNodeInfoCacheForTest) and the signed replay gate satisfied
  for its target, like the other fallback tests on this branch.
- The hot-seed test's "observed frame makes it servable" step now sends
  a signature-verified frame: its node is a known signer, and per meshtastic#11035
  an unsigned frame from a signer must not (and does not) drive cache
  writes - the gate working as designed.

Full native suite: 70/70 under ASan.

runOnce() nested the entire NodeInfo maintenance block (tick-stamp
saturation, membership refresh, boot/hourly reconcile) inside
#if TRAFFIC_MANAGEMENT_CACHE_SIZE > 0, so a variant overriding the
unified cache to 0 on a PSRAM board would compile the NodeInfo cache
without its maintenance: hasObserved would never saturate, obsTick
would alias past its 12.8 h wrap, and the 6 h staleness gate - whose
wrap-safety explicitly depends on the sweep - would serve spoofed
replies for long-gone nodes. Extract maintainNodeInfoCacheLocked(),
guarded by TMM_HAS_NODEINFO_CACHE alone, and give runOnce() the same
independent-guard structure purgeAll() already has.

Also close the runtime cousin of the same mismatch: the write-through
hooks (onNodeIdentityCommitted / onNodeKeyCommitted) now no-op while
moduleConfig.has_traffic_management is off. Previously they kept
filling the cache from NodeDB commits while runOnce() returned
INT32_MAX, accumulating entries that were never swept or reconciled.
Purges and reads stay ungated: removal must always work, and reads
just miss an empty cache.

…suming them

The direct-response throttle returned true, which made handleReceived()
STOP the request: within the 30 s window a repeat request was neither
answered nor forwarded toward the genuine target, and the call site
still logged "respond" and bumped nodeinfo_cache_hits for a reply that
was never sent. A requester whose first reply was lost on a noisy link
got silence for the whole window.

Return false instead: the request flows through normal relay handling,
so the genuine node (or another cache-holder) can answer, while our own
spoofed TX stays bounded. Repeats of the same packet id are already
absorbed by the router's duplicate detection, and the stats counter now
only counts replies actually sent.

Also log purgeNode() only when a slot was actually cleared - it runs
for every NodeDB removal, including nodes the caches never tracked.

Fourteen scattered #if TMM_HAS_NODEINFO_CACHE guards (one per function,
each with its own #else stub of (void) casts) collapse into a single
guarded region holding every NodeInfo-cache-only function, terminated
by one #else block of no-op stub definitions. Because the stubs now
exist on every build, the call sites in runOnce(), purgeNode() and
purgeAll() drop their guards too; inner guards remain only for
orthogonal features (PKI, warm tier) and for real conditional work
(constructor allocation, PSRAM paths in shouldRespondToNodeInfo).

No behavior change. Compile-checked on both sides of the macro: the
native app build (stubs) and the native unit-test build (region).

perhapsDecode() resolved the sender's public key unconditionally for
every encrypted packet, before even checking whether the packet could
be PKI-decrypted (channel 0, unicast to us). Since copyPublicKey()
grew its TrafficManagement fallback tier, a full hot+warm miss - the
common case for channel traffic from senders outside both NodeDB
tiers - additionally walked the 2000-entry NodeInfo cache under its
lock, per packet, for a key that was then discarded.

Move the resolution inside the PKI-candidate branch; remotePublic and
haveRemoteKey had no consumers outside it.

The 60 s sweep re-derived isMember with a per-entry NodeDB lookup:
O(entries x members) - about 700k node-number comparisons per minute on
a full PSRAM cache (2000 entries x 250 hot + 100 warm), with strided
PSRAM reads, all while holding cacheLock against the packet path.

Move the refresh into the hourly reconcile pass, which is already
O(members x entries): after the seeding loops (so the upsert pass still
sees last pass's bits for spareMembers protection), clear every
isMember bit and re-mark from both NodeDB tiers - including keyless
warm records, which seed nothing but are still members.

Accepted tradeoff, now documented on the field: membership lags a
passive NodeDB eviction by up to an hour (the entry just stays
LRU-sticky slightly longer). Additions stay immediate via the
write-through hooks, explicit removals via purgeNode().

The two key-write sites that bypass updateUser() (admin-channel learn
in Router::perhapsDecode, manual verification in KeyVerificationModule)
each carried their own #if HAS_TRAFFIC_MANAGEMENT write-through
boilerplate - the pattern this PR itself had to retrofit twice, and
which any future direct key write would silently miss, leaving the
TrafficManagement cache divergent until the next hourly reconcile.

Add NodeDB::commitRemoteKey(n, key32, KeyCommitTrust): writes the key
to the hot store and routes the TrafficManagement write-through in one
place, with provenance explicit at the call site (AdminChannelProven
maps to TOFU-grade, ManuallyVerified to proven). The bypass sites keep
their reason for existing - bare-key commits with provenance that
updateUser's User-payload/TOFU-pin path cannot express - but no longer
know about TrafficManagement at all; both stale includes are dropped
(Router's was already unused on develop).

…ership

Throttle tests (PSRAM and NodeDB-fallback paths): a request inside the
30 s window now CONTINUEs into normal relay handling instead of being
consumed - assert no spoofed TX, no NAK suppression, and (PSRAM path)
that nodeinfo_cache_hits counts only replies actually sent.

Membership test (renamed reconcileMembershipMarking): the per-minute
sweep no longer refreshes isMember, so the test now pins down both
halves of the new contract - the very next sweep after a passive NodeDB
eviction still shows the stale member bit (the documented up-to-an-hour
lag), and a reconcile interval's worth of sweeps clears it.

Disabled-module test additionally proves the write-through hooks share
the has_traffic_management gate: a key commit while disabled must not
land in the NodeInfo cache.

Not covered here: a build permutation with TRAFFIC_MANAGEMENT_CACHE_SIZE
overridden to 0 (the configuration the maintenance-guard fix protects)
would need its own PlatformIO env plus guards on every unified-cache
test - left as a follow-up.

A TEST_ASSERT_* failure longjmps out and skips that trailing cleanup, leaving the

A direct response is addressed to the requesting packet's from field, which
is unauthenticated, and is sent by every neighbour that holds the target in
cache. One request therefore makes several nodes transmit at an address the
requester chose, and nothing limited how often that could be repeated.

Replies are now spaced per requester, which bounds how much any single node
can be made to receive, plus a global floor on how much airtime the feature
can consume. The check sits where a reply is about to be sent, so requests
declined for other reasons do not consume the budget.
Makes the suite green for now. meshtastic#11104's per-requester + global-floor
throttle (60 s) is layered over the branch's per-target throttle, so the
three existing "served again" checks (psram, fallback, sweep) now use a
fresh requester to avoid the per-requester window masking the mechanism
each one actually exercises. Adds a dedicated test for the new
per-requester + 1 s global-floor behaviour (the reflector-flood gap the
per-target throttle leaves open, and the bound that survives on
non-PSRAM builds).

Deferred: the branch's now-redundant fallback global stamp
(nodeInfoFallbackLastResponseMs) is left in place as a follow-up cleanup.

Clod wants credit.
… tables

Replace the two path-specific NodeInfo-spoof throttles (per-entry respTick on
the PSRAM cache path, single global stamp on the fallback path) with three
symmetric bounds that behave identically with and without PSRAM:

  - per requester (60 s): how much any one node can be made to receive;
  - per target   (60 s): how often we vouch for the same identity;
  - global floor (1 s):  total airtime, the backstop once an attacker cycles
    requester/target past the 8-slot tables.

Both axes are fixed 8-slot LRU tables in internal RAM (not the PSRAM NodeInfo
cache), compared by wrap-safe uint32 ms subtraction, so there is no tick clock
and no sweep to maintain. directResponseAllowed() resolves both slots before
stamping either, so a reply one axis throttles never consumes the other's
budget, and records the send itself.

Retires: nodeInfoFallbackLastResponseMs, kNodeInfoResponseThrottleMs,
nowStampMs, the respTick byte + hasResponded bit on every cache entry,
currentRespTick/kNodeInfoRespTickMs/kNodeInfoThrottleTicks, and the sweep's
respTick clear. Renumbers peekNodeInfoFlagsForTest (drops the responded bit).

Tests: the psram/fallback throttle tests now assert the per-target axis at 60 s,
isolated via a different requester, proving it holds with and without PSRAM;
perRequesterAndGlobalFloor isolates the other two axes; the obsolete respTick
wrap-safety test is removed. 83/83 native cases pass.

Upstream develop carries 38 test_* suite directories but its
native-suite-count file still reads 37 (a suite was added without
bumping the count). Rebasing onto develop inherits that stale file,
so the runner flags AMBER. Correct the registered total to 38.
