# FreeDMR1 Agent Notes

This repository is the FreeDMR 1.x production-maintenance tree.

## Role

- Live HBLink-derived FreeDMR peer server codebase.
- Current operational behaviour and regression baseline.
- Keep stable for deployed systems and release candidates.

## Rules

- Do not add DAVE/FreeDMR2 scaffold code or architecture artifacts here unless explicitly requested.
- Keep changes surgical and compatible with the existing 1.x architecture.
- Update tests, changelog and user/operator documentation for behaviour changes.
- Preserve packet bytes unless production code intentionally rewrites them.
- Treat `bridge_master.py`, `hblink.py`, `bridge.py`, packet routing, dial-a-TG, loop control, source quench and data forwarding as protocol-sensitive.
- Do not rewrite large parts of the packet path for style alone.
