Overview

The Connections screen could derive MUST_SET_REGION while node information still belonged to a previous connection. Repository node state can briefly survive a device switch or reconnect, so an unset LoRa region plus a non-null node was not enough to establish that the warning described the active session.

Once fresh node information arrived, the screen also moved from pending-connection content to the connected-device card. The region warning still depended on the former rendering path, which could make the warning disappear at the point it became valid.

Configuration-health notices additionally relied on sessionAuthorized, but that flag represents successful lockdown authentication rather than general configuration-write eligibility. It remains false when no runtime lockdown status is received and when lockdown-capable firmware explicitly reports DISABLED. The absence of a runtime lockdown status is expected for pre-2.8 firmware. Manual and automatic passphrase requests now use a distinct pending state so the no-status compatibility state is not reused while a firmware response is outstanding.

Managed mode is a separate device-management policy that predates lockdown. The setting moved from the deprecated DeviceConfig.is_managed field to SecurityConfig.is_managed; supported pre-2.5 firmware still requires the former, while current firmware uses SecurityConfig as the authoritative field. When SecurityConfig has been received, its managed-mode value is authoritative even if firmware metadata is unavailable. Otherwise, the client falls back to DeviceConfig only for known pre-2.5 firmware and keeps the policy unresolved rather than assuming that a device is unmanaged.

This scopes region status to the active connection identity, keeps the region warning visible with the connected node after the handshake, and shows actionable configuration warnings only when the active session is ready and both lockdown and device-management policy permit local configuration.

Key Changes

Connection status

  • Require the active ConnectionIdentity to match ourNodeInfo before emitting MUST_SET_REGION.
  • Ignore cached or mismatched node information from an earlier connection.
  • Keep CONNECTED while node information is still settling or when the active device already has a configured region.
  • Keep ConnectionStatus as capability-independent device state; lockdown, managed-device, and virtual-device policy remain presentation concerns.
  • Cover the same-node reconnect ordering where cached node data can match a fresh identity before the service reaches its post-handshake connected state.

Configuration warnings

  • Add LockdownState.allowsConfigWrites as the shared indication that the current lockdown state does not withhold normal configuration writes.
  • Treat no received lockdown status, explicitly disabled lockdown, and authenticated unlocked sessions as writable from the lockdown-state perspective.
  • Keep manual and automatic passphrase requests in AwaitingResponse until firmware reports the next lockdown status, so in-flight unlock, provisioning, or disable requests remain non-actionable.
  • The no-status state covers pre-2.8 firmware.
  • Keep managed mode separate from lockdown state and suppress locally actionable configuration notices for managed devices.
  • Use SecurityConfig.is_managed whenever SecurityConfig has been received, including when firmware metadata is unavailable.
  • Fall back to the deprecated DeviceConfig.is_managed field only for known pre-2.5 firmware.
  • Keep managed-mode policy unresolved when the authoritative field has not arrived rather than treating a partial config stream as unmanaged.
  • Suppress actionable configuration notices while the device is locked, awaiting provisioning, awaiting a lockdown response, or in an authentication failure/backoff state.
  • Require connected-node content and active-session node readiness before showing region or transmit-disabled cards.
  • Continue suppressing configuration warnings for mock and replay devices.
  • Remove the connection-warning dependency on the raw sessionAuthorized flag.

Region warning presentation

  • Keep the unset-region warning visible on the connected-device card after node information becomes available.
  • Apply the same lockdown, managed-device, and physical-device policy to the persistent warning as the configuration cards.
  • Keep the persistent warning hidden while lockdown write eligibility or managed-mode policy is unresolved.
  • Resolve the warning text outside AnimatedContent, preserving the existing Compose Multiplatform resource-loading workaround.
  • Update the pending-connection component documentation to reflect that MUST_SET_REGION is now eligible only after active-node readiness.

Testing

Added coverage for:

  • stale cached node information and mismatched active identities;
  • normal region-set and region-unset connection transitions;
  • same-node reconnect ordering before the final connected state;
  • every LockdownState configuration-write boundary, including a pending firmware response;
  • manual passphrase submission and stored-passphrase auto-unlock entering the pending response state;
  • pre-2.5 managed and unmanaged DeviceConfig state;
  • authoritative SecurityConfig managed-mode state on current firmware;
  • SecurityConfig remaining authoritative when firmware metadata is unavailable;
  • unknown or incomplete managed-mode state remaining unresolved;
  • managed devices remaining non-actionable independently of an unlocked lockdown session;
  • warning suppression while node information is pending;
  • locked, pending-lockdown-response, managed, writable, missing-node, and virtual-device warning policy;
  • persistent region-warning visibility for writable physical devices;
  • persistent region-warning suppression for pending-lockdown-response, managed, or unresolved devices.

Scope

  • Connection status and configuration-warning presentation only.
  • Radio configuration values and write behavior are unchanged.
  • Lockdown authentication protocol, credentials, and command payloads are unchanged.
  • Managed-mode state and admin-key authorization are unchanged; the Connections screen only consumes the existing policy when deciding whether local configuration notices are actionable.
  • Transport, protocol, persistence, and firmware behavior are unchanged.
  • No database migration or user-data migration is required.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an “awaiting response” lockdown state while passphrase requests are processed.
    • Lockdown controls now reflect firmware responses and reappear when authentication is required.
    • Added configuration-write eligibility handling based on device lockdown status.
    • Improved connection tracking to ignore stale node information from previous sessions.
    • Added persistent region warnings when the active device requires configuration.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented premature region and configuration warnings during handshakes, managed mode, lockdown, or virtual-device connections.
    • Improved connection status accuracy when reconnecting to the same device.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds LockdownState.AwaitingResponse and allowsConfigWrites, makes connection readiness session-aware, and gates connection warnings using lockdown, managed-mode, physical-device, and active-node conditions. Tests cover state transitions, identity matching, firmware-version policy, and warning visibility.

Changes

Lockdown-aware connection policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lockdown state and request lifecycle
core/model/.../LockdownState.kt, core/data/.../LockdownCoordinatorImpl.kt, core/*/commonTest/.../Lockdown*, feature/settings/.../Lockdown*
LockdownState adds AwaitingResponse and allowsConfigWrites. Automatic and manual passphrase requests enter AwaitingResponse before sending commands. Tests and KDoc describe the updated lifecycle.
Active-session node readiness
core/ui/.../ConnectionsViewModel.kt, core/ui/.../ConnectionsViewModelTest.kt
ConnectionsViewModel matches node information to NodeManager.connectionIdentity before reporting active-node readiness or MUST_SET_REGION. Tests cover stale data, reconnects, mismatched identities, and configured regions.
Connection warning policy and rendering
feature/connections/.../ConnectionsScreen.kt, feature/connections/.../components/*, feature/connections/.../ConnectionsScreenWarningPolicyTest.kt
ConnectionsScreen resolves managed mode by firmware version and gates warnings using lockdown, managed-mode, physical-device, connection, and active-node conditions. CurrentlyConnectedInfo renders the persistent region warning. Policy tests cover these combinations.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fb188

If a passphrase command cannot be dispatched, the lockdown dialog can remain hidden and configuration warnings remain suppressed until an unrelated status update arrives. Resolve the rejected-dispatch state before merging.

Full details: Sibling Call Sites And Presence Semantics

Explanation

PASS. The PR diff changes no sensor or measurement field and adds no new RSSI, temperature, current, voltage, particulate, or app-level SNR field with a default of 0. The only added nullable field, CurrentlyConnectedText.regionWarningLabel, intentionally defaults to null; its production caller supplies the value, while the preview and RSSI test correctly use the default. The new activeNodeInfoReady and allowsConfigWrites derived values have their production consumers updated in ConnectionsScreen, with corresponding tests. No unfixed sibling call site matches the custom-check condition.

Full details: Tests Prove The Path, Not The End State

Explanation

Several added tests assert only final values and do not prove the changed execution path. In LockdownCoordinatorImplTest.kt:205,444,461, the new assertions read serviceRepo.lockdownState.value after the call completes. They do not observe the state when sendLockdownPassphrase is invoked, so they pass if AwaitingResponse is assigned after the request instead of before it. In ConnectionsScreenWarningPolicyTest.kt:31-305, all tests call resolveManagedMode, shouldShowPersistentRegionWarning, or canShowConfigWarnings directly. No test renders ConnectionsScreen or CurrentlyConnectedInfo, so the tests pass if the changed screen call sites at ConnectionsScreen.kt:407-419 and 579-586 are removed or reverted. The same-node reconnect... test also checks CONNECTING, a result produced by the old mapping regardless of activeNodeInfoReady; it does not fail when that gate is unused. No changed test was found that asserts only collection size or relies on Dispatchers.Unconfined emission order.

Resolution

Add a command-sender test hook or a recording fake that captures serviceRepository.lockdownState.value during sendLockdownPassphrase, and assert AwaitingResponse at dispatch for both manual and automatic requests. Keep the pure policy tests, but add a composable/integration test that drives the connected screen and asserts the region warning text and config-warning cards are rendered or suppressed through the actual ConnectionsScreen/CurrentlyConnectedInfo path. Strengthen or remove the same-node reconnect test: exercise the changed Connected plus stale/mismatched-node case and assert the resulting request/warning behavior, rather than asserting the unchanged CONNECTING mapping.

Full details: Regression Coverage For Changed Behavior

Explanation

Coverage gaps remain in changed timing and UI wiring paths. The added unit tests cover policy helpers, state classification, and several steady-state transitions, but they do not cover these regression surfaces: 1. LockdownCoordinatorImpl.handleLocked and submitPassphrase — The coordinator now publishes AwaitingResponse before sendLockdownPassphrase. The tests inspect the state after the call, so they do not prove ordering. A synchronous response or a sender callback could expose a regression where the response is overwritten or the UI remains actionable. Add tests with a command sender that observes lockdownState during both auto-replay and manual submission, and then verifies the later firmware response replaces AwaitingResponse. 2. ConnectionsViewModel.activeNodeInfoReady and connectionStatus — The tests cover initial stale and mismatched nodes, but not a ready session that loses or changes connectionIdentity while the region remains unset. A reconnect regression could leave MUST_SET_REGION or the warning gate active for the old session. Add a sequence that reaches MUST_SET_REGION, clears or replaces the identity, and asserts activeNodeInfoReady == false and connectionStatus == CONNECTED until matching node data arrives. 3. ConnectionsScreen to CurrentlyConnectedInfo renderingConnectionsScreenWarningPolicyTest tests only pure helper results. No test verifies that the screen passes the resolved label to CurrentlyConnectedInfo, that the connected card renders it, or that the existing region/transmit cards remain hidden for pending, managed, virtual, and unresolved devices. A wiring regression would pass all current helper tests. Add a Compose UI test for CurrentlyConnectedInfo with a non-null label and a connected-screen test covering the allowed and suppressed states.

Resolution

Add the three missing test groups. Use an instrumented or recording CommandSender for the AwaitingResponse ordering assertions. Extend ConnectionsViewModelTest with ready-to-invalid identity transitions. Add JVM Compose coverage in the feature connections UI test source set for connected-card label rendering and screen-level policy wiring.

Full details: Moved Code Diffed Against Its Original

Explanation

PASS — the check is not applicable. The PR diff from merge base 695f0a9 contains no deleted or renamed files, and rename/copy detection found no move at normal thresholds. Declaration changes are same-file edits or new declarations; no type or function was moved to another module. The removed ConnectionsViewModel.sessionAuthorized member has no remaining callers. The new RegionWarningText and policy helpers are new UI logic, not an extracted old declaration.

@jeremiah-k jeremiah-k changed the title Scope Region Warnings to the Active Connection fix(connections): scope region warnings to the active connection Sep 3, 2026
An UNSET region must not surface until the connected card has node data for the current transport session. Repository node flows can briefly retain cached data while a device switch or reconnect establishes a fresh session, so a non-null node alone is not a safe handshake boundary.

Require the fresh ConnectionIdentity to agree with the displayed node before emitting MUST_SET_REGION. ConnectionStatus remains capability-free device truth; lockdown eligibility, managed-device policy, and virtual-device suppression stay in the presentation layer.

Cover stale cached data, the normal region-set path, and the same-node reconnect ordering where current config is published before the service reaches post-handshake Connected. Update the connecting-card contract to match the new readiness boundary.
The connected card's region and transmit notices describe device state that should only be actionable for the active transport session. Gate lockdown eligibility on LockdownState.allowsConfigWrites rather than sessionAuthorized. Pre-2.8 firmware and newer builds that do not include runtime lockdown support never enter that authentication flow, while an explicit DISABLED state also leaves sessionAuthorized false. None, Disabled, and Unlocked therefore do not withhold writes on lockdown grounds. Keep manual and automatic passphrase requests in AwaitingResponse until firmware reports the next status so an in-flight unlock, provision, or disable request cannot be mistaken for writable state.

Apply managed mode as a separate device-management policy that predates lockdown. Supported pre-2.5 firmware reports is_managed in DeviceConfig, while 2.5 and newer firmware uses SecurityConfig as the authoritative field. Trust SecurityConfig whenever it has arrived, even if firmware metadata is unavailable; otherwise only pre-2.5 firmware may use the deprecated DeviceConfig field. Keep newer or unknown firmware unresolved until SecurityConfig arrives so a partial handshake cannot briefly expose local configuration on a managed device.

Bind warning presentation to activeNodeInfoReady as well. Stage 1 clears cached config before accepting the fresh config stream, and repository node flows can briefly expose a previous device after a database switch. Requiring the active identity/node match prevents the post-handshake config state from being attributed to stale node data.

Keep the screen's private rendering enum out of the testable policy surface. Cover pending lockdown responses, manual and stored-passphrase transitions, DeviceConfig/SecurityConfig managed-mode resolution, pending config and node readiness, lockdown eligibility, missing nodes, and virtual devices.
After MUST_SET_REGION was bound to active-node readiness, the status becomes eligible only when connected-node content is also eligible. The old region-status renderer lived in pending-connection content, leaving the stable connected card without a persistent indication.

Carry a regionWarningLabel into the connected-card text model and resolve it outside AnimatedContent, preserving the existing CMP-6615 resource-loading workaround. Reuse the same lockdown, managed-mode, and physical-device policy as the configuration cards so managed, unresolved, awaiting-response, locked, and virtual sessions do not advertise a local region action.

Cover writable, awaiting-response, locked, managed, unresolved, healthy-region, and virtual-device presentation policy.

Handle rejected lockdown dispatch before setting AwaitingResponse

CommandSenderImpl.sendLockdownPassphrase sends through PacketHandler.sendToRadio, which can silently drop the frame when no transport accepts it. The Unit result gives LockdownCoordinatorImpl.submitPassphrase no failure signal, so it leaves AwaitingResponse. The dialog stays hidden and configuration warnings remain suppressed. Expose dispatch success, restore the previous retryable state on rejection, and surface the error.
