The firmware path-len byte is packed and self-describing (src/Packet.h:79-84):
high 2 bits = hash size - 1, low 6 bits = hash COUNT (hops), byte length =
count * size. The app treated the low 6 bits as a byte count and ignored the
width, on the strength of a comment asserting the high bits were "not reliably
populated". Both halves of that comment were wrong.
Receive: Contact.fromFrame read `count` bytes where firmware meant `count`
hops, so at 2-byte width it kept HALF of every path and discarded the rest.
DAYTON VA's 2-hop route became a 2-byte fragment, which is why every repeater
login in Bandit's capture timed out.
Send: buildUpdateContactPathFrame wrote the count raw, leaving mode bits 00.
That tells the radio "1-byte hashes" while handing it 2-byte hash data, so it
routed to nodes never on the route. This is the likelier cause of the observed
"routes via c6 and 5c separately" behaviour.
Also fixes a third unit inconsistency: setContactPath wrote customPath.length
(bytes) into pathLength (hops) after every path set.
Contact now carries pathHashWidth per path, so a stored path can never be
re-sliced at a width it was not captured at. realHopCount() is removed rather
than adjusted: it divided an already-correct hop count, halving it at 2-byte
width, and every call site was compensating for a bug that no longer exists.
Migration (Ben's call, option A): records written before this change have no
pathHashWidth and hold truncated bytes that cannot be recovered by
reinterpretation, so their path is dropped and the contact reverts to flood
until the radio re-supplies it. Logged, not silent.
Tests asserted the old semantics (expect(realHopCount(2, 2), 1)) and were
rewritten against firmware truth rather than adjusted to keep passing. Added
send-side encoding coverage, which did not exist. 456 tests pass.

this adds the actual last modified timestamp when present, before we used
last advert time as last modified in error
also sets _pendingInitialContactsSync to true on first connect over BLE
