v1.4.1

New Features

Verbose Logging for Debugging (--enable-logging / -L)

Added comprehensive logging system to help diagnose unexpected CLI crashes and connection issues.

Usage:

meshtastic-cli --enable-logging
# or
meshtastic-cli -L

What gets logged:

• All HTTP network requests and responses
• Packet decoding details (including all portnum types)
• Database operations (queries, inserts, updates)
• Connection lifecycle events
• App state changes
• Detailed error information with stack traces

Log file location: ~/.config/meshtastic-cli/log

Features:

• Zero performance overhead when disabled (default)
• Non-blocking buffered writes (500ms flush interval)
• Automatic log rotation at 5MB file size
• Structured JSON-like format with timestamps and context
• Enhanced error handling throughout the codebase

This feature is particularly useful when the CLI exits unexpectedly - check the log file to see exactly what happened!

Improvements

• Added try-catch blocks around packet processing to prevent single bad packets from crashing the app
• Enhanced error recovery in transport reading loop
• Better error context in all logging statements
