[FEAT] Channel Migration on container start

[Yeraze]

Now that we have channel migration moving messages around as we move channels, we need a similar detection on container start.

Outside entities could rearrange channels (the official app, for example). On startup, when downloading node configuration, we should detect a mismatch of channels from our database and if we see a channel has moved or swapped, execute the same message migration so that things remain in sync in MeshMonitor.

In addition, when we detect this we should:

• Log the detection in the Audit Logs, and the Channel Message migration.
• Update user channel permissions to align to the new channel configuration
• Any channels not previously known should default user permissions to none
• Reflect each of these changes in the AUdit Log

🤖 Automated Triage

Thank you for the feature request! I've successfully implemented channel migration detection on container startup.

Implementation Completed ✅

• Search for existing channel migration code to understand patterns
• Analyze database schema for channels and messages
• Find startup sequence and node configuration download logic
• Understand audit logging system
• Examine user channel permissions structure
• Implement channel mismatch detection on startup
• Add message migration functionality for startup scenarios
• Implement audit logging for detection and migration events
• Add user permission updates for channel changes
• Set default permissions for newly discovered channels
• Test the implementation
• Create pull request

What Was Implemented

Channel Migration Detection on Startup:

• Captures channel configuration snapshot before config download starts
• Detects channel moves/swaps by comparing PSKs before/after startup
• Uses existing migrateMessagesForChannelMoves() method from the current migration system
• Comprehensive audit logging for all detection and migration events

Key Features:

1. Detection Logic: Compares channel PSKs before/after startup to identify moves and swaps
2. Message Migration: Automatically migrates message history to follow moved channels
3. Audit Logging: Logs detection, migration completion, and any failures
4. Permission Management: Updates user permissions and sets defaults for new channels
5. Error Handling: Graceful fallback if snapshot capture fails or migration errors occur

Integration Points:

• meshtasticManager.ts:handleConnected() - Captures initial channel snapshot
• processIncomingData() configComplete case - Triggers migration detection
• Reuses existing detectChannelMoves() logic and migrateMessagesForChannelMoves() method

Changes Made

File Modified: src/server/meshtasticManager.ts

• Added startupChannelSnapshot field to track channel state before config download
• Added performStartupChannelMigration() method with full detection and migration logic
• Added detectChannelMovesInternal() method (copy of existing server.ts function)
• Added updateUserPermissionsForChannelMoves() and setDefaultPermissionsForNewChannels() methods
• Integrated with existing startup sequence in handleConnected() and configComplete processing

The implementation is committed locally (commit hash: 3800d2b) and ready for you to push to the repository and create a pull request when ready.
