MeshMonitor v4.13.3-rc2

⚠️ Pre-release. This is release candidate 2 for 4.13.3. It is published for testing and does not update the :latest Docker tag. Use :4.13.3-rc2 explicitly if you want to try it.

The headline is that Auto-Acknowledge now lives in the Automation Engine. A four-phase epic gave the engine everything Auto-Ack could do — hop-count reactions, per-node cooldowns, node-completeness and ignore-list conditions — and then added a converter that turns an existing Auto-Ack config into a real, editable automation. That means per-channel acknowledgement bodies, the thing #4340 asked for, are now just two rules rather than a second configuration axis bolted onto Auto-Ack.

Alongside it: waypoints can pick their broadcast channel, MeshCore gains a zero-hop ping action and a per-node ignore list for the auto-responder, TX-disabled nodes can still send when UDP Broadcast can relay for them, and the Node Details panel gets a visual traceroute strip. No migrations, no configuration changes, no breaking changes.

Auto-Acknowledge → Automation Engine (#4340)

Four phases, each independently shippable:

#4390 — Hop-count tapback. Send a tapback (reaction) gained an Emoji source option: a fixed emoji, or the message's hop count (*️⃣ direct, 1️⃣–7️⃣ above), using the same table Auto-Ack uses. Also adds the {{ trigger.hopEmoji }} token and a general showIf mechanism for conditional builder fields.
#4396 — Per-node cooldown scope. Triggers gained Cooldown applies to: the whole automation (unchanged default), each node separately, or each node per source. Previously a cooldown on a busy channel suppressed acks to every other sender.
#4407 — Auto-Ack parity conditions. A node.completeness tri-state field, is one of / isn't one of string operators, isDM/viaMqtt in the condition picker, and an optional DM resend cap. A machine-enforced parity table now proves the engine can express every Auto-Ack setting.
#4408 — The converter. A Convert to an Automation… button previews exactly what will be created, shows an honest report of what did and did not convert, and writes only on confirmation. Turning off Auto-Ack afterwards is opt-in (checked by default) and touches only the on/off switch — every other setting is preserved, so you can switch back.

Upgrade note: nothing changes unless you use the converter. Existing Auto-Acknowledge configs keep working exactly as before, and existing automations are untouched — every new option defaults to the previous behaviour.
