MeshMonitor v4.13.1

Building on 4.13's unified map core, this release adds a suite of Link Quality tools for the RF-minded, an early preview of several Meshtastic 2.8 features, and a broad round of map, MQTT, and messaging fixes.

Highlights: a Terrain Link Profile tool (elevation cross-section, Fresnel zone, and link-budget verdict) on Map Analysis; a per-node signal-trend / link-attenuation badge; Noise Floor on the Node Detail card; and position accuracy + location source surfaced in node popups. The Map Analysis toolbar is now icon-based with Show RF / UDP / MQTT transport toggles, and obscured markers offset intelligently by cell occupancy. On the 2.8 front (an early preview — 2.8 is not officially released yet, so this is built against the firmware development branch and is subject to change), MeshMonitor now decodes the XEdDSA signing shield, MeshBeacon packets, and the MEDIUM_TURBO preset. Also notable: telemetry requests now auto-recover from an upstream firmware NeighborInfo-hijack, a new noindex/robots.txt privacy toggle, and a gateway-aware MQTT Packet Monitor.

See the release blog post for the narrative walkthrough.

MQTT

Gateway-aware MQTT Packet Monitor — per-gateway reception capture + UI (#4127, #4138)
Geo-ignore epic: fail-open geo filter, per-source ignore list, retroactive purge/sweep, observability (#4123, #4131, #4132, #4136)

Guard MQTT POSITION ingestion against Null Island fixes (#4150)

Messages, Nodes & Automation

Auto-retry telemetry requests hijacked by the firmware NeighborInfo behavior (#4214)
Stop unsynced-clock nodes rendering chat at ~1970 (#4208)
MeshCore own-node messages show name, not public key (#4197)

Compose draft scoped per-conversation (#4185)
Reliably un-hide nodes from the map across sources (#4141)
Traceroute no longer sends on a DISABLED channel slot (#4180)
Reject precision-obscured Null Island fixes on ingest (#4149)

Configuration, Infrastructure & Security

New privacy toggle: X-Robots-Tag: noindex + disallow-all robots.txt (#4212)
Case-insensitive TRUST_PROXY and boolean env-var parsing (#4218, #4219)

Migration 122 MySQL 8 collation fix (#4145); Mqtt/→MQTT/ case-collision build fix (#4144)
Meshview Link Responder added to the User Scripts gallery (#4179)

Dependencies & CI

actions/setup-node and setup-python 6→7, and a batch of npm patch/minor updates
Dependabot now ignores TypeScript major bumps (TS7 tooling gap); dropped the unused pbf direct dep
Node-24 coverage hang no longer blocks merges (#4172)
