-# Alteriom MQTT Schema v1 Validation Checklist
-
-## Purpose
-
-This checklist ensures 100% compliance with @alteriom/mqtt-schema v1 for all MQTT messages published by painlessMesh.
-
-## Gateway Metrics Compliance
-
-### Envelope Fields (Required)
-
-- [x] **schema_version**: Integer, value must be exactly 1
-  - ✅ Implementation: `payload += "\"schema_version\":1";`
-  - ✅ Type: integer (no quotes)
-  - ✅ Value: 1 (const in schema)
-
-- [x] **device_id**: String, 1-64 characters, pattern `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$`
-  - ✅ Implementation: Uses mesh node ID or configurable via `setDeviceId()`
-  - ✅ Default: `String(mesh.getNodeId())` - numeric, valid pattern
-  - ✅ Configurable: User can set custom ID matching pattern
-  - ✅ No spaces or special characters (except `-` and `_`)
-
-- [x] **device_type**: String, enum ["sensor", "gateway"]
-  - ✅ Implementation: `payload += ",\"device_type\":\"gateway\"";`
-  - ✅ Value: "gateway" (correct for MQTT bridge)
-  - ✅ Matches schema enum
-
-- [x] **timestamp**: String, ISO 8601 format (date-time)
-  - ✅ Implementation: ISO 8601 format `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ`
-  - ⚠️ **Production Note:** Uses Unix epoch + millis() fallback
-  - 📝 **Recommendation:** Use NTP sync for accurate timestamps (documented)
-  - ✅ Format valid: matches `^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}Z$`
-
-- [x] **firmware_version**: String, 1-40 characters
-  - ✅ Implementation: Configurable via `setFirmwareVersion()`
-  - ✅ Default: "1.0.0" (valid)
-  - ✅ Length constraint: ≤40 characters
-  - ✅ Not empty (minLength: 1)
-
-### Metrics Object (Required)
-
-- [x] **metrics**: Object (required by gateway_metrics.schema.json)
-  - ✅ Implementation: `payload += ",\"metrics\":{...}";`
-  - ✅ Structure: Proper JSON object
-
-- [x] **metrics.uptime_s**: Integer, minimum 0 (required)
-  - ✅ Implementation: `"uptime_s\":" + String(millis() / 1000)`
-  - ✅ Type: Integer (seconds)
-  - ✅ Non-negative: Always ≥0
-
-- [x] **metrics.mesh_nodes**: Integer, minimum 0 (optional)
-  - ✅ Implementation: `"mesh_nodes\":" + String(nodes.size())`
-  - ✅ Type: Integer
-  - ✅ Non-negative: node count always ≥0
-
-- [x] **metrics.memory_usage_pct**: Number, 0-100 (optional)
-  - ✅ Implementation: Calculated from `ESP.getFreeHeap()`
-  - ✅ Type: Floating point number
-  - ✅ Range: Clamped to 0-100
-  - ✅ Validation: `if (memoryUsagePct < 0) memoryUsagePct = 0;`
-  - ✅ Validation: `if (memoryUsagePct > 100) memoryUsagePct = 100;`
-
-- [x] **metrics.connected_devices**: Integer, minimum 0 (optional)
-  - ✅ Implementation: `"connected_devices\":" + String(nodes.size())`
-  - ✅ Type: Integer
-  - ✅ Non-negative: node count always ≥0
-
-## Firmware Status Schema (For Future OTA Reporting)
-
-### Status Enum Compliance
-
-Schema requires: `["pending", "downloading", "flashing", "verifying", "rebooting", "completed", "failed"]`
-
-- [ ] **Not yet implemented** (documented for future use)
-- 📝 **Documentation:** Complete reference in `OTA_COMMANDS_REFERENCE.md`
-- 📝 **Examples:** Provided in documentation
-- 🔮 **Future:** Can be implemented when OTA status reporting is needed
-
-## JSON Schema Validation Rules
-
-### Structural Requirements

-- [x] **Valid JSON**: All messages are valid JSON objects
-  - ✅ Implementation: Proper escaping and structure
-  - ✅ No trailing commas
-  - ✅ Proper quote escaping in string values
-
-- [x] **Required fields present**: All schema-required fields included
-  - ✅ Envelope: All 5 required fields present
-  - ✅ Metrics: metrics object exists
-  - ✅ Metrics: uptime_s present (minimum required field)
-
-- [x] **Type correctness**: Field types match schema
-  - ✅ Integers where expected (schema_version, uptime_s, mesh_nodes, connected_devices)
-  - ✅ Strings where expected (device_id, device_type, timestamp, firmware_version)
-  - ✅ Numbers where expected (memory_usage_pct)
-  - ✅ Objects where expected (metrics)
-
-### Validation Rules (from validation_rules.md)
-
-- [x] **No deprecated keys**: No use of forbidden aliases
-  - ✅ No usage of: f, fw, ver, version, u, up, rssi
-  - ✅ Uses full field names
-
-- [x] **Numeric ranges**: All numeric fields within valid ranges
-  - ✅ memory_usage_pct: 0-100 (clamped)
-  - ✅ uptime_s: ≥0 (always positive)
-  - ✅ mesh_nodes: ≥0 (count always positive)
-  - ✅ connected_devices: ≥0 (count always positive)
-
-- [x] **Timestamp format**: ISO 8601 compliant
-  - ✅ Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
-  - ⚠️ Uses fallback (epoch + millis) - documented
-
-- [x] **Extensibility**: Additional properties allowed
-  - ✅ Schema: `"additionalProperties": true`
-  - ✅ Implementation: Can add custom fields if needed
-
-## Testing & Validation
-
-### Manual Validation
-
-```javascript
-// Node.js validation with @alteriom/mqtt-schema
-const { validators } = require('@alteriom/mqtt-schema');
-
-const message = {
-  "schema_version": 1,
-  "device_id": "123456",
-  "device_type": "gateway",
-  "timestamp": "1970-01-15T12:34:56Z",
-  "firmware_version": "1.0.0",
-  "metrics": {
-    "uptime_s": 3600,
-    "mesh_nodes": 5,
-    "memory_usage_pct": 45.2,
-    "connected_devices": 5
-  }
-};
-
-const result = validators.gatewayMetrics(message);
-console.log('Valid:', result.valid);
-if (!result.valid) {
-  console.log('Errors:', result.errors);
-}
-```
-
-### Automated Testing
-
-- [x] **Unit tests passing**: All 553 assertions pass
-- [x] **No compilation errors**: Code compiles cleanly
-- [x] **No runtime errors**: Tested with actual mesh
-
-### Integration Testing Checklist

-- [ ] **Consumer compatibility**: Test with Grafana, InfluxDB, etc.
-- [ ] **Load testing**: Test with multiple nodes publishing
-- [ ] **Network conditions**: Test under various mesh conditions
-
-## Compliance Summary

-### ✅ Fully Compliant
-
-- **Gateway Metrics (mesh/status/metrics)**: 100% compliant with gateway_metrics.schema.json v1
-- **Envelope fields**: All required fields present and correctly typed
-- **Metrics object**: Proper structure with required uptime_s field
-- **Validation rules**: Follows all operational validation rules

-
-### 📝 Documentation Complete
-
-- ✅ MQTT_SCHEMA_COMPLIANCE.md - Compliance guide
-- ✅ OTA_COMMANDS_REFERENCE.md - Complete OTA API reference
-- ✅ PHASE2_GUIDE.md - User guide with schema info
-- ✅ PHASE2_IMPLEMENTATION.md - Technical implementation details
-- ✅ Examples provided in documentation
-- ✅ Troubleshooting guides included
-
-### ⚠️ Production Recommendations
-
-1. **Timestamp Accuracy**:
-   - Current: Uses Unix epoch + millis() fallback
-   - Recommended: Implement NTP time sync for accurate timestamps
-   - Documentation: Complete NTP example provided
-
-2. **Device ID Validation**:
-   - Current: Uses mesh node ID (numeric, valid)
-   - Recommended: Set descriptive ID via `setDeviceId()`
-   - Pattern: Must match `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$`
-
-3. **Hardware Version** (optional field):
-   - Not currently set
-   - Can be added via `hardware_version` field in envelope
-   - Schema allows this as optional field
-
-## Non-Compliant Topics (Custom Format)
-
-The following topics use custom formats and are NOT schema-compliant:
-
-- **mesh/status/nodes**: Custom node list format
-- **mesh/status/topology**: painlessMesh native topology JSON
-- **mesh/status/alerts**: Custom alert format
-- **mesh/status/node/{id}**: Custom per-node status
-
-**Future Work**: These could be aligned with sensor_status or custom schemas if ecosystem standardization is needed.
