 "title": "MeshCore does not push received messages to a companion client \u2014 an ACK with no CONTACT_MSG_RECV is a fetch bug, not a broken link",
 "symptom": "Every message was ACKed by the destination \u2014 8 of 8, both directions \u2014 while zero CONTACT_MSG_RECV events ever fired. It reads exactly like a half-working radio link: the transmit path fine, the receive path dead. The timings were all suspiciously identical because they were just the client's own wait timeout expiring.",
