Conversation
In test_beginSending_oversizedPayloadAbortsSafely, reallocating a packet and asserting TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL_PTR(p, reallocated) assumes malloc() immediately recycles the previously freed address. On CI (env:coverage), AddressSanitizer (-fsanitize=address) places freed blocks into a quarantine zone, causing subsequent allocations to yield a new address and failing the assertion. Remove the brittle pointer equality assertion and dummy reallocation. Packet release is already validated at test teardown by LeakSanitizer (LSan).

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe oversized encrypted payload test now verifies transmission rejection and confirms that the packet is not queued. It removes the packet-pool reuse assertion and manual release. ChangesRadio payload validation
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This change only removes a brittle pointer comparison from a native test and retains assertions for the rejected send path; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal review.

The test behavior is correct, but the new comments narrate each statement and restate the following assignment or assertion. Remove the step-by-step comments and retain, at most, one comment explaining that
beginSending()releasespwhen it rejects the oversized payload.Proposed comment cleanup
- // Allocate a packet and set required header fields meshtastic_MeshPacket *p = packetPool.allocZeroed(); ... - // Set encrypted size larger than radioBuffer.payload capacity to trigger rejection p->encrypted.size = testRadio->getRadioBufferPayloadCapacity() + 10; - // Call beginSending with the oversized packet + // beginSending() releases p when it rejects this oversized payload. size_t result = testRadio->beginSendingPublic(p); - // Verify the send was rejected (returns 0) TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL_UINT(0, result); - // Verify sendingPacket was NOT set (packet was not queued) TEST_ASSERT_NULL(testRadio->getSendingPacket()); - // LeakSanitizer on CI will automatically detect if p wasn't released to packetPoolAs per coding guidelines, comments must be minimal and explain why the behavior is not obvious instead of restating the next line.

Summary
Fixes CI failure in
test_radiointroduced in #11573.Root Cause
test_beginSending_oversizedPayloadAbortsSafelyattempted to verify packet pool release byallocating a second packet and asserting pointer equality (
TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL_PTR(p, reallocated)).While this passed on local systems using standard glibc/macOS malloc caches (LIFO),
CI runs with AddressSanitizer (
-fsanitize=addressinenv:coverage), which quarantines freed memory.This caused the next
mallocto return a newly mapped chunk instead of the freed pointer, failing the pointer check.Below is snippet from Example Failed Job :
