Three integrated pieces that ship together because they were designed as one safety story: (1) PERSISTENCE FOUNDATION -- new meshai/persistence/ module with SQLite db.py, schema migration framework (v1), 13 tables covering all adapter event shapes (traffic_events, fires, firms_pixels, quake_events, nws_alerts, gauge_readings, swpc_events) + mesh state (mesh_nodes, mesh_telemetry, mesh_positions, mesh_messages_in, mesh_broadcasts_out, mesh_health_events) + cross-cutting event_log + schema_meta. WAL mode for reader concurrency, single-writer pattern, MESHAI_DB_PATH env var, mounted at /data/meshai.sqlite via existing docker-compose meshai_data volume. .gitignore updated. (2) WFIGS HANDLER -- meshai/central/wfigs_handler.py implements the first per-adapter handler that uses the persistence layer. Format: MEDIUM style with town/landclass/county fallback chain, lat/lon at 3-decimal precision, New:/Update: prefix. 8h-rate-limited change-detection per IRWIN via fires.last_broadcast_at. Skips tombstones and perimeters silently (logged to event_log with handled=0). Acres fallback chain DailyAcres -> IncidentSize -> raw.DiscoveryAcres -> raw.FinalAcres -> N/A. Pass-through Initial Attack auto-numbered names (IA 1, IA 2). (3) UNIVERSAL COLD-START GRACE -- meshai/notifications/pipeline/dispatcher.py grows a configurable grace window (cold_start_grace_seconds, default 60s, GUI-editable per Rule 17). Anchored to first-event-seen (not container boot), so the grace activates the moment broadcasts could fire. Suppresses mesh delivery during the window; handler-side persistence (fires UPSERT, event_log) still happens normally. New _cold_start_dropped counter exposed in dispatch_stats(). Designed to protect against JetStream backlog spam at toggle-flip time, applies universally to ALL adapters. (4) WFIGS HANDLER CALLBACK REFACTOR -- New:/Update: prefix now keys on fires.last_broadcast_at IS NULL (not row-missing), and last_broadcast_* field updates moved to a post-broadcast commit callback that the dispatcher invokes ONLY on successful delivery. This means: cold-start-suppressed events leave fires.last_broadcast_at NULL, so when they eventually broadcast post-grace, they correctly render as New: (first ACTUAL delivery for that IRWIN), not Update:. event_log.handled and mesh_broadcasts_out audit row also gated on the same callback -- decoupling persistence rows from broadcast rows for an honest audit trail. New tests: 15 in test_wfigs_handler.py, 15 in test_persistence.py, additional cold-start grace tests in test_dispatcher.py (+4 WFIGS callback scenarios). Synthetic probes wfigs-cleaned-samples.md (initial) and wfigs-cleaned-samples-v2.md (cold-start verification) generated against isolated temp SQLite databases. CT108 /data/meshai.sqlite untouched during build. Master stays off. No live toggle flips. Test count: was 535 (v0.5.7 baseline) -> 566 (persistence) -> 581 (wfigs handler) -> 589 expected (cold-start grace).
