feat(connections): scan connect codes, read them from NFC, check addresses - #7974
A node's connect link (meshtastic/design#177) can come from a label, the node's screen or an NFC tag, but the app only took it from the camera or a browser, and the in-app scanner was missing while disconnected. A link with a malformed or unknown address was also handed straight to the radio after the prompt.
🌟 New Features
A scan action in the Connections app bar reads a connect code and opens the same "Connect to this device?" prompt. It accepts only meshtastic://meshtastic and https://meshtastic.org connections links, and always asks, even under the debug skip switch. Anything else shows "That code isn't a Meshtastic connect code."
meshtastic://meshtastic links are also claimed from NFC tags (NDEF_DISCOVERED).
🐛 Bug Fixes
isLinkableAddress() gates every connections link: x needs six hex pairs, t a host, n nothing after it. An unknown prefix or a malformed address opens Connections with no prompt. s, m and r link as before, so emulator and automation tooling keeps working.
🧹 Chores
User and developer docs describe the scan action, NFC and the address rules.
Testing Performed
LinkableAddressTest (commonTest): BLE, TCP, disconnect, serial and demo addresses, unknown prefixes.
ConnectLinkFromTest (jvmTest): both link forms, whitespace, another host, links without a usable address, other Meshtastic links and plain text.
…esses
A connect link can now arrive from the scan action on the Connections
screen and from an NFC tag, alongside the camera and browser. A link whose
address has an unknown prefix, or a BLE address without six hex pairs,
opens Connections without a prompt instead of trying to connect.
Connections now accepts connect codes through QR scanning and NFC links. It validates addresses, parses supported links, and presents scanned connection details for confirmation.

Summary
Connect-link validation and parsing feature/connections/src/commonMain/kotlin/org/meshtastic/feature/connections/Constants.kt, feature/connections/src/commonMain/kotlin/org/meshtastic/feature/connections/navigation/ConnectionsNavigation.kt, feature/connections/src/commonTest/kotlin/org/meshtastic/feature/connections/LinkableAddressTest.kt, feature/connections/src/jvmTest/kotlin/org/meshtastic/feature/connections/navigation/ConnectLinkFromTest.kt
Address validation checks interface prefixes and address formats. Link parsing accepts configured Meshtastic connections links with usable addresses. Tests cover accepted and rejected addresses and links.
Connections displays a scanner action when provided, and navigation routes validated scanned links through pending state and confirmation. Android accepts NDEF discovery intents and routes the intent URI or the first NDEF record URI. Resources and documentation describe the scan action and connect-code flow.
Merge Risk: Low · up to cd235
Malformed TCP or serial connect codes can interrupt an existing connection after confirmation, and custom-scheme NFC entry remains unsupported on Android 17 without the required protection. These are bounded limitations; merging requires owner awareness or fixes.

Explanation
The title "feat(connections): scan connect codes, read them from NFC, check addresses" matches the main changes. The PR adds a Connections app-bar scan action for connect codes, NFC NDEF handling for meshtastic://meshtastic links, and an isLinkableAddress check that gates connection links. The title is specific and short, and it names the three main parts of the change. It omits the docs and tests, which is acceptable.
Full details: Tests Prove The Path, Not The End State
Explanation
The added tests directly assert the results of the new pure address validator and link parser. Reverting either helper would leave its tests without the function they call. The tests do not assert fake-backed values, collection size alone, or emission order under Dispatchers.Unconfined.
Full details: Regression Coverage For Changed Behavior
Explanation
Regression coverage gaps remain: - connectionsGraph address gate: Helper tests do not verify that malformed links or locked demo links cannot show a prompt or reach the transport. No graph test covers those cases and valid links, including replay. - Scanner action and callback: Parser and prompt tests do not exercise scanner visibility, cancellation, invalid-code toast, connection or disconnect calls, or the scan-specific confirmation rule. No test restores a pending scan after recreation. - connectLinkFrom: Its tests run on JVM only. Android uses a platform DeepLinkUri in the router, so query parsing and rejection on Android lack coverage. - MainActivity NFC handling and manifest: No test checks intent resolution, launch and new-intent delivery, or the new first-URI-only routing. Later tag records could cause extra navigation, and existing HTTPS NFC links could regress.
Resolution
Add graph tests for malformed BLE, TCP, disconnect and unknown addresses, and for locked and unlocked demo links. Add scanner UI tests for support visibility, cancellation, invalid codes, BLE PIN and disconnect confirmation, debug-skip behavior, and state restoration. Add Android parser tests for both link forms and rejected inputs. Add NFC resolution and delivery tests for launch and new intents, data-URI precedence, first-record fallback, and ignoring later records. The address-gate and first-record tests must fail without their respective fixes.

…t URI
A demo address linked while Demo Mode is locked would drop the real radio
for a transport that then refuses to start; it now opens Connections with
no prompt. An NFC tag routes only the URI Android matched, not every
record on it.
57-60: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value
Test the Demo Mode gate through navigation.
The locked-mode test calls isLinkableAddress directly. If navigation stops passing the gate value, the test still passes and a demo prompt can appear while locked. Add navigation tests for both a launch link and a scanned code that assert no prompt appears.
