wildfire_spotting is the most urgent signal in the system (a fire
throwing embers past its own containment line), but every fire event
carries a group_key (= event_id), so the Grouper held spotting for the
full grouper_window_seconds (60s live) before it could even reach the
dispatcher -- a ~60s latency FLOOR, and ~120s+ once FirePacer queuing
is added on top.
Add a module-level _NEVER_COALESCE_CATEGORIES frozenset and bypass the
coalescing window for the categories in it. Currently: wildfire_spotting
only.
This is safe because spotting is already rate-limited AT THE SOURCE: a
per-fire 1h cooldown (adapter_config.fires.spotting_cooldown_seconds,
default 3600, latched on fires.last_spotting_broadcast_at per irwin_id
in gating/firms.py) gates spotting DETECTION itself, so N active fires
yield at most N spotting alerts per hour. FirePacer (60s interval, with
head-of-line ordering for immediate severity) and the dispatcher's
per-(toggle, category, region) cooldown still apply downstream.
The bypass is scoped by CATEGORY, never by severity. Commit 85d48ce3
deliberately removed a severity == "immediate" bypass from this exact
spot because ALL fire events carry _severity_override="immediate", so a
severity bypass exempts the entire fire family from rate control. The
comment on the constant spells that out so it does not get re-added.
Tests: spotting with a group_key passes straight through; wildfire_growth
and wildfire_incident at immediate severity are STILL held (proving no
severity bypass crept back in); spotting with no group_key still passes
through. PR #129's test_immediate_severity_is_also_coalesced_no_bypass is
untouched and still passes.

Triaged all 20 known-red tests. 13 were stale tests asserting rotted
expectations against deliberate, documented behavior changes; fixed by
deriving expected values instead of hard-coding, or updating the
expectation to match a documented policy change:
- test_adapter_config_foundation.py / test_adapter_config_api.py:
REGISTRY/API key-count and key-set guards hard-coded magic numbers
(59/94/17) that rotted repeatedly. Now derive expectations from
REGISTRY itself and, for the schema version, from the migrations
directory, so they can't rot the same way again.
- test_fire_tracker_phase4.py: two tests hardcoded a nonexistent
deployment path (/opt/meshai/meshai/router.py) that matches no
Dockerfile WORKDIR in this repo; resolve the module path via
importlib.util.find_spec instead.
- test_tombstone_broadcast.py: asserted fire severity == "immediate",
which commit 2f677e85 deliberately downgraded to "priority" (to stop
fire broadcasts bypassing the Grouper/cooldown during NATS backlog
replay) without updating this test.
- test_pipeline_grouper.py: test_immediate_severity_bypasses_grouper
asserted an immediate-severity bypass that commit 85d48ce3
("fix(fire): remove immediate-severity exemption from grouper +
cooldown") DELETED on purpose -- fire events carry
_severity_override="immediate", and the exemption left fire with no
rate control at all in normal live operation. Re-adding the bypass
would re-open that fire-spam hole on a public-safety mesh, so the test
moves, not the source. Renamed + inverted to assert the real contract
(all severities coalesce; only a missing group_key passes through).
- test_tail_followups.py: dispatcher mock was missing
dispatch_scheduled_fire_broadcast (a method added alongside the
generic dispatch_scheduled_broadcast; test_reminders.py already
mocks both).
- test_tracking_v057.py: guard required an empty tracking-family
adapter list in Environment.tsx, but the frontend has long grouped
the pre-existing native satpass adapter under the "Tracking" display
section (its own "satpass" backend toggle, unrelated to the Phase-7
tracking family every other guard in this file confirms is still
unimplemented). Narrowed the guard to allow only that known entry.
- test_v052_dispatcher.py: two tests used category="wildfire_incident",
which the phase3b fire migration (#33) forced onto a dedicated
formatter via NATIVE_ALWAYS_DECIDE; swapped to wildfire_hotspot
(same emoji/label, not in NATIVE_ALWAYS_DECIDE) to keep exercising
the generic composer logic under test.
Also fixes one stale COMMENT (comment-only, no logic change) in
meshai/notifications/pipeline/__init__.py's start_pipeline(): it still
claimed "Immediate events bypass the grouper and don't need this
[periodic flush]", which has been false since 85d48ce3 and is precisely
what makes the deleted bypass look like a missing feature. The comment
now records that the removal was deliberate and must not be reverted.
The remaining 6 failures are left untouched -- 2 confirmed real bugs, to
be fixed deliberately in their own changes:
- meshcore_transport.py defines `_resolve_contact` TWICE on
MeshCoreTransport (line 171 from PR #56, line 1227 from PR #92). The
second silently shadows the first, so the DM contact-resolution
refetch-on-miss that #56 added is dead code in production. (3 tests)
- SCHEMA_VERSION (persistence/db.py:33) is stale at 26 vs. the actual
highest migration v28; v27 and v28 shipped without bumping it.
(3 tests)
Plus 1 environment gap, not a code defect:
test_natural_language_fire_question_routes_to_llm needs the `openai`
package, which is declared in requirements.txt but not installed here.
Suite: 20 failed, 2240 passed, 72 skipped -> 7 failed, 2254 passed, 72
skipped. All 7 remaining failures are ones classified above; no new
failures introduced elsewhere in the suite.

- Move all application source (meshai/, dashboard-frontend/, tests/,
config/, docs/, Dockerfile, etc.) into work/ directory
- Add Node.js multi-stage build to Dockerfile for frontend compilation;
remove compiled static assets from git tracking
- Fix satpass missing time windows: consolidation was splitting wire on
newline and only putting line 1 in event.title, dropping the time
window line that the composer uses for precomposed broadcasts
- Fix satpass burst flooding: stagger consolidation timers (+60s per
pending pass) so Central batch publishes don't blast the mesh
- Update CI workflow build context to work/
- Anchor lib/ and data/ gitignore patterns to repo root to prevent
false matches on nested directories
- Add dashboard-frontend/node_modules/ to .dockerignore
