After enabling/disabling monitor mode, clear the cached capabilities
so the next refresh shows the updated interface list (e.g., wlo1mon
instead of wlo1).
Agent fixes:
- Fix Ctrl+C hang by running cleanup in background thread
- Add force-exit on double Ctrl+C
- Improve exception handling in output reader threads to prevent
bad file descriptor errors on shutdown
- Reduce cleanup timeouts for faster shutdown
Controller/UI fixes:
- Add URL validation for agent registration (check port, protocol)
- Show helpful message when agent is unreachable during registration
- Clarify API key field label (reserved for future use)
- Add client-side URL validation with user-friendly error messages
WiFi agent mode fixes:
- Add polling fallback for deep scan when push mode is disabled
- Polls /controller/agents/{id}/wifi/data every 2 seconds
- Detect running scans when switching to an agent
- Fix scan_mode detection (agent uses params.scan_type)
Agent scanner fixes:
- Use non-blocking I/O with select/fcntl to prevent blocking reads
- Pass dwell_time parameter through to scanner function
- Add freqs_scanned counter to status and data endpoints
- Improve SDR test process cleanup with kill() fallback
Frontend listening post fixes:
- Add setListeningPostRunning for UI sync when switching to agent
- Fix button ID (radioScanBtn not scannerStartBtn)
- Handle nested data structure from controller proxy
- Update freqs_scanned and signal_count from polling data
- Disable listen button for agent mode (audio can't stream over HTTP)
Add listening_post to agents.js uiSetters map for mode sync.
Live testing completed:
- Sensor mode: works via agent
- WiFi quick scan: works via agent
- Listening post: works via agent (AM airband, WFM broadcast tested)
- Signal detection: confirmed working via agent
Testing ongoing - modes not yet tested via agent:
- Pager, ADS-B, AIS, ACARS, APRS, DSC, RTL-AMR, TSCM, Bluetooth
Agent fixes:
- Accept 'success' status for quick scans (not just 'started')
- WiFi quick scans return 'success' with results, not 'started'
Controller fixes:
- Pass through actual error messages from agent responses
- Previously showed generic "Agent returned error: 400"
- Now shows actual message like "Root privileges required for deep scan"
- Agent: Add _detect_acarsdec_fork() for f00b4r0/DragonOS support
- Agent: Use --output json:file, --rtlsdr, -m 256 for f00b4r0 fork
- UI: Add setAcarsRunning() to sync button state with agent
- UI: Add 'acars' to syncModeUI uiSetters map
Agent fixes:
- Fix stop not killing secondary processes (pager_rtl, aprs_rtl, rtlamr_tcp)
- Modes using piped processes now properly terminate all child processes
UI state sync fixes:
- Add syncLocalModeStates() to check local status when switching to local
- Fix switchMode() to re-sync with agent/local when changing mode tabs
- Only stop local modes when actually in local mode
- UI now correctly reflects running state when switching agents or modes
- Agent TSCM uses same ThreatDetector and CorrelationEngine as local mode
- Added baseline_id parameter support using get_tscm_baseline()
- Fixed RF scan stop_check to allow agent-specific stop events
- Fixed 'undefined MHz' display for WiFi devices (added essid fallback and null check)
- Fixed signal strength type conversion (string to int) for correlation engine
- Agent threat detection matches local mode behavior:
- No baseline: detects anomaly/hidden_camera threats only
- With baseline: also detects new_device threats
Agent improvements:
- Add process verification (0.5s delay + poll check) for sensor, pager, APRS, DSC modes
- Prevents silent failures when SDR is busy or tools fail to start
- Returns clear error messages when subprocess exits immediately
Frontend agent integration:
- Add agent routing to all SDR modes (pager, sensor, RTLAMR, APRS, listening post, TSCM)
- Add agent routing to WiFi and Bluetooth modes with polling fallback
- Add agent routing to AIS and DSC dashboards
- Implement "Show All Agents" toggle for Bluetooth mode
- Add agent badges to device/network lists
- Handle controller proxy response format (nested 'result' field)
Controller enhancements:
- Add running_modes_detail endpoint showing device info per mode
- Support SDR conflict detection across modes
Documentation:
- Expand DISTRIBUTED_AGENTS.md with complete API reference
- Add troubleshooting guide and security considerations
- Document all supported modes with tools and data formats
UI/CSS:
- Add agent badge styling for remote vs local sources
- Add WiFi and Bluetooth table agent columns
Features:
- Standalone agent server (intercept_agent.py) for remote sensor nodes
- Controller API blueprint for agent management and data aggregation
- Push mechanism for agents to send data to controller
