Full changelog
MeshMonitor v4.7.0
Minor release. Two headline features, one revert.
MeshCore Remote Administration — a full CLI-over-encrypted-DM admin surface for distant MeshCore nodes (Repeaters / Room Servers), plus an in-app console for the locally connected device. Includes an encrypted password store with rotation detection, a typed-name confirmation modal for destructive commands enforced both client- and server-side, a structured ACL setperm form, command history, sessionStorage-backed transcript persistence, and a per-command audit log with a canary test that asserts the plaintext password never reaches any audit row or response body.
MQTT bridge topic rewriting — re-introduces the cross-mesh prefix-replacement feature from #3170 (briefly merged and reverted), with the configuration UI moved to the broker's edit modal so one dialog covers every bridge attached to that broker. The backend (applyTopicRewrite, publish-path integration, validator) is unchanged.
MQTT dashboard restored — reverts #3169's experimental per-source detail shell that replaced the full v4.6.6 dashboard (Channels / Telemetry / DMs / Map) with a thin Map + Settings tab pair. Broker and bridge sources fall through to the full Meshtastic dashboard again as in v4.6.6.
Features
MeshCore Remote Administration
- #3160 feat(meshcore): remote-administration console with encrypted credentials
- #3161 feat(meshcore): stats panel, quick-action buttons, danger-command guard
- #3162 feat(meshcore): local-device CLI console in Configuration view
- #3165 feat(meshcore): ACL setperm form, command history, internal docs
- #3167 feat(meshcore): persistent transcript + per-command audit log
MQTT
- #3173 feat(mqtt): bridge topic rewrites managed from broker settings (re-implementation of #3170 with broker-side UI)
Bug Fixes
- #3172 revert(mqtt): restore v4.6.6 per-source dashboard for broker and bridge — reverts #3169 + #3170. MQTT broker and bridge sources fall through to the full Meshtastic dashboard again with every original surface available.
Docs
- #3174 chore: bump version to 4.7.0 + changelog and docs — new
docs/features/meshcore.mdRemote Administration section, updateddocs/features/mqtt-broker.mdtopic-rewriting section, new internal architecture docdocs/internal/dev-notes/MESHCORE_REMOTE_ADMIN.md, release blog post.
Upgrade Notes
- MeshCore Remote Administration is gated by a new per-source
remote_adminpermission. Admins automatically pass. Grant it to non-admin operators who should be able to run CLI commands against your Repeaters / Room Servers. - Saved admin passwords require
SESSION_SECRETto be explicitly configured (not auto-generated). The "Remember password" checkbox is disabled with a tooltip whenSESSION_SECRETis ephemeral. SetSESSION_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)in your environment to enable credential persistence. - Migration 070 adds a nullable
adminCredentialcolumn tomeshcore_nodes. Runs automatically on first boot. - Topic-rewriting UI moved: if you configured topic rewrites in v4.6.6 (between the original #3170 merge and the revert), reopen the broker that owns the bridge and re-enter the rewrite rules under the new "Bridge topic rewrites" section in the broker edit modal.
Issues Resolved
- #3166 feat(mqtt): topic rewriting on mqtt_bridge for cross-mesh routing
