The v0.21.2 frame-based watchdog works in production (it fired today: 'no
decoded bridge frames for 628474 ms — forcing reconnect', and the reconnect
delivered queued packets), but the bridge/radio side at 192.168.1.4 keeps
killing inbound RX within ~20 min of a fresh sync, repeatedly. Two tuning
changes requested by the owner:
- MESH_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS default lowered from 600000 (10 min) to 60000 (1 min).
- New lazy periodic autoreconnect: MESH_RECONNECT_INTERVAL_MS (new env,
default 300000 = 5 min, read at construction like the others). An interval
started in onModuleInit unconditionally logs and destroys the socket so the
existing close -> scheduleReconnect loop re-establishes with a fresh sync on
schedule; cleared in onModuleDestroy. When not connected at tick time,
destroy is a no-op and the retry loop owns recovery — no special-casing.
Tests: 171 -> 172 — periodic reconnect observed end-to-end with an overridden
short interval (fake bridge disconnect + re-establish); existing watchdog tests
pass unchanged, comments updated to the new 60 s default.
