Feat: Add decaf zero-timeout value - #10570
Conversation
Add a zero-sentinel timeout helper for config fields where 0 means default. Use it for PowerFSM screen_on_secs, min_wake_secs, and wait_bluetooth_secs so UINT32_MAX/MAX_INTERVAL can request immediate transitions. This change intentionally does not alter WiFi or Bluetooth runtime gating.

Just to be potentially frustrating (sorry!), I really don't like the magic value approach where it's not needed, and at a protobuf level it really isn't here, because the property could be set |
|
@ianmcorvidae I'm onboard with this, although I'll need to see where else in the code this is used. It's pretty extensive how much default==0 is used today. I'll need to validate unsetting values isn't problematic to make them defaults over all the different clients, etc. The probability of creating a ton of bugs is probably high, especially with interactions between old clients and new protobufs. I.e if an old iOS client with old protobuf thinks 0 is default and new node sees 0 as literal 0, there will be breakage. I'd recommend this for the next API breaking change.. maybe 3.0 where we will likely require everything to upgrade together. I can put a TODO together for when this happens. |
|
Seems unnecessary what is the problem being solved here? Why not just use the optional functionality that already exists and maps directly to the protobuf transport? |
|
@garthvh The problem is to set a 0 value for things to sleep immediately after servicing a packet. The challenge is that 0 means default, thus there is no easy way to set 0 for an immediate sleep. Exasparating the challenge is that the Android and iOS client use 0 as "unset". Changing this behavior will require changes to iOS, Android, and likely the CLI to start treating 0 as 0 and unset as default. For FixedUpdateIntervals.kt line 46 has:
or FixedUpdateIntervals.unset is 0 in IntervalEnums.swift So in order to change this behavior, it will require updating the firmware to treat both 0 and unset/undefined as default, wait a majority of nodes to upgrade, update all the cilents to use unset the values as optional, wait for everyone to update their clients, and then update the firmware to treat literal 0 as 0. I don't mind playing the long game to do the correct thing, but until then, using 0x000DECAF will bypass months of waiting for everyone to upgrade. |

…ut sentinel The DARK to DARK "Screen-on timeout" transition is a poll: it exists only so a device sitting in DARK notices that config drifted and it should leave. It was built from Default::getConfiguredOrDefaultMs(config.display.screen_on_secs, ...), which does not understand DECAF_ZERO_TIMEOUT_SECS. With the sentinel set, that call reads 0x000DECAF as a seconds count and yields a ~10.5 day poll period, so the drift check effectively stops running. Routing the site through Default::getTimeoutMs fixes the sentinel reading, but getTimeoutMs returns 0 for it, and 0 as a self-transition period means the FSM re-enters DARK on every tick, running the onEnter work in a tight loop. Add getDarkRecheckMs, which uses the timeout-aware read and falls back to the role default when the answer is 0, so the period is never the sentinel-as-seconds value and never zero. The sentinel keeps its meaning of "no screen-on time" at the sites where a zero timeout is actually actionable; it just cannot be used verbatim as a poll interval. Adds test/test_power_fsm covering the configured, unset, and sentinel readings for both CLIENT and ROUTER defaults, and registers the suite in test/native-suite-count (24 -> 25), test/README.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md. Verified on native-macos: baseline test_default 15/15 green and no test_power_fsm suite present (0 of 24 collected). With the guard reverted the new suite fails "Expected 600000 Was 912559000" and "Expected 1000 Was 912559000"; with the Default::getTimeoutMs sentinel branch reverted it fails "Expected 0 Was 912559000" and "Expected 1000 Was 912559000". Restored, 4/4 green, 25 collected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The sentinel was introduced but only getDarkRecheckMs() was taught about it, leaving two consumers reading the old meaning of a literal 0. PowerFSM registered the ON -> DARK and POWER -> DARK transitions behind config.display.screen_on_secs > 0. DECAF_ZERO_TIMEOUT_SECS is 0x000DECAF, which is greater than zero, so the sentinel took the branch and armed both transitions with a period of 0 ms: an "actual zero" timeout fired the screensaver immediately instead of suppressing it, and on E-Ink the suppression stopped working entirely. The InkHUD menu stored a literal 0 for "Forever", which now means "use the default", so picking Forever silently selected the default timeout. The check is now screenStaysOn(), extracted so it can be tested, and the menu stores the sentinel. Nothing migrates saved configs, so E-Ink keeps honouring a stored 0 as "keep the screen on" and the menu normalises that value back onto the Forever row rather than showing it as Custom. Reported by CodeRabbit on meshtastic#10570.

Migrate legacy zero values before runtime resolution.
When config.display.screen_on_secs is the legacy stored 0, this helper normalizes it only for the menu label and selection. The stored value remains 0. Default::getTimeoutMs() therefore resolves it to the default timeout, while the menu shows “Forever.” Migrate 0 to DECAF_ZERO_TIMEOUT_SECS before PowerFSM consumes the configuration.
Suggested fix
- return seconds == 0 ? (uint32_t)DECAF_ZERO_TIMEOUT_SECS : seconds;
+ return seconds == 0 ? (uint32_t)DECAF_ZERO_TIMEOUT_SECS : seconds;Apply the normalized value at configuration load or another path that runs before PowerFSM resolves config.display.screen_on_secs.

Assert the actual InkHUD “Forever” value.
This assertion compares DECAF_ZERO_TIMEOUT_SECS with itself. It cannot detect a mismatch between the InkHUD value and the sentinel. Assert against the menu’s actual value or exercise the menu selection path.
