fix(microservices): validate pre-identified telemetry and keep stored data out of CVT - #4000
In InterfaceMicroservice#handle_packet (Ruby and Python):
Pre-identified packets are validated. If a protocol identifies a packet whose target isn't in the interface's tlm_target_names, the packet is dropped and the interface logs Dropping telemetry for unmapped target: TGT PKT once per target and packet name (the last 1000 names are remembered). If the target is mapped but the packet doesn't exist, the interface logs Received unknown identified telemetry: TGT PKT and identifies the packet by content against the mapped targets. Before, any known target was accepted even if it wasn't mapped. Stored packets with an unknown identity were silently published as UNKNOWN, with no warning and no fallback.
Stored packets stay out of the CVT. A stored packet that can't be identified is published as UNKNOWN from a clone of the UNKNOWN definition. It no longer calls update! or CvtModel.set.
Python matches Ruby output. The unknown-packet hex prefix is now uppercase, and TelemetryTopic.write_packet writes stored as "true"/"false". All readers use the case-insensitive handle_true_false.
Fixes the IF-CFG-001, IF-TLM-001, IF-TLM-002 and IF-TLM-003 deviations in architecture/specs/interface-microservice.yaml.
Test plan
bundle exec rspec spec/topics spec/microservices/interface_microservice_spec.rb (76 examples, 0 failures). The 3 new examples fail on the old code.
uv run pytest test/topics test/microservices/test_interface_microservice.py test/microservices/test_decom_microservice.py (85 passed). The 3 new handle_packet tests and the new test_telemetry_topic.py fail on the old code.
… data out of CVT
A protocol-identified packet for an unmapped target, or a stored packet with
an unknown identity, is now warned about and identified by content. Stored
packets that cannot be identified no longer update the UNKNOWN CVT entry.
Python logs the unknown hex prefix in uppercase and writes stored as
"true"/"false" like Ruby.

Type the microservice interface as non-optional, require scope on the
handler threads (matching Ruby), and align the shutdown override with
Microservice.shutdown. Also fixes router reconnect with new params
writing to an undefined interface_model and logging the bound
connection_string method instead of its value.

- Keep the header identity and drop packets whose target is not in
tlm_target_names, instead of re-identifying them by content, which
could publish them under a mapped packet's name
- Warn once per target/packet via @unmapped_tlm_warned so replaying
multi-target logs does not flood the log
- Document the mapping requirement in the Preidentified Protocol docs

My suggestions are in #4080. If you merge it then update the first bullet of #4000's description. It still says unmapped targets fall back to identification by content.

Walkthrough
The Ruby and Python interface handlers now drop telemetry for unmapped targets, re-identify packets with unknown names, and publish unknown stored packets without updating the CVT. Telemetry topic messages serialize the stored flag in lowercase.
Changes: Telemetry Handling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Filter and identify telemetry openc3/lib/openc3/microservices/interface_microservice.rb, openc3/python/openc3/microservices/interface_microservice.py, openc3/python/test/microservices/test_interface_microservice.py, openc3/spec/microservices/interface_microservice_spec.rb, docs.openc3.com/docs/configuration/protocols.md
The handlers drop packets for unmapped targets and warn once per target and packet name. They bound warning history to 1,000 entries. For mapped targets, they clear unknown packet names so the buffer can be identified. Tests and documentation cover these behaviors.
Unknown stored packets use an UNKNOWN packet and do not update the CVT. The telemetry topic writes the stored flag as lowercase text. Tests cover stored and unstored values.
Pre-identified UNKNOWN telemetry can now be discarded even though UNKNOWN telemetry is enabled by default. Confirm that this loss is intended before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to de4dd
The change restricts telemetry to mapped targets and prevents unidentified stored traffic from overwriting current data. Remaining risk concerns compatibility with previously accepted identities and incomplete knowledge of production configurations and recovery conditions.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — A producer able to supply preidentified frames controls packet identity, bytes, and stored metadata. The changed handlers restrict named-target processing to that interface’s configured telemetry targets. This is an interface-local restriction; production network access and wider tenant or environment exposure were not established.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Target membership and packet existence are distinct checks. For a mapped, defined identity, the handler continues to trust the supplied name and buffer rather than authenticating the producer or verifying identity by content. That trust behavior predates this PR; the newly introduced control narrows target reach.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Unmapped-identity warning history is bounded to 1,000 entries with oldest-entry eviction. Repetition of a remembered identity suppresses its warning, but rotating identities can continue generating warnings; the entry bound is not an aggregate log-rate limit.

- Around line 765-768: Replace the unbounded @unmapped_tlm_warned tracking with
bounded storage that evicts an older key before inserting a new one, rather than
silently stopping warnings at a fixed limit. Preserve the first-warning behavior
for every newly observed unmapped target/packet key, and apply the same eviction
policy in the corresponding Ruby and Python service loops.

Unmapped target and packet names come from the wire, so the set used to
warn once per name could grow without limit. Cap it at 1000 entries and
evict the oldest so every newly seen name still warns.

The new tests use stored: true, so they cover identify_and_define_packet, not the non-stored identify!/identify_and_set_buffer path that updates the CVT. Add a separate non-stored example and retain the stored example.
