fix(ble): Add scanner-connection coordination to prevent "InProgress" errors
Scanner was calling BleakScanner.start() during active connection attempts, causing BlueZ "Operation already in progress" errors. This fix adds coordination between scanner and connection operations: - Add _should_pause_scanning() method to check for active connections - Modify _perform_scan() to skip scan cycle when connections in progress - Scanner automatically pauses when _connecting_peers is not empty - Scanner automatically resumes when connections complete Impact: - Eliminates scan-induced connection failures - Reduces BlueZ error log spam - Improves overall connection reliability Files changed: - src/RNS/Interfaces/linux_bluetooth_driver.py: Add pause logic - tests/test_scanner_connection_coordination.py: Add test coverage - BLE_PROTOCOL_v2.2.md: Document scanner coordination - CHANGELOG.md: Record fix details 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

### Problem: "Operation already in progress" errors during scanning
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
- `[org.bluez.Error.InProgress]` errors in scan loop
|
||||
- Errors occur when scanner.start() is called during active connection attempts
|
||||
- Log messages: "Error in scan loop: [org.bluez.Error.InProgress] Operation already in progress"
|
||||
- Scanner continues to work after error, but causes connection failures
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause:** Scanner interference with active connections. BlueZ cannot start a new scan operation when connection attempts are in progress:
|
||||
1. Driver initiates connection to peer (peer added to `_connecting_peers`)
|
||||
2. Scanner loop continues running on its own schedule
|
||||
3. Scanner calls `BleakScanner.start()` while connection is active
|
||||
4. BlueZ rejects scan start → "InProgress" error
|
||||
5. This can also cause the connection attempt to fail
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix (v2.2.3+):** Scanner-connection coordination:
|
||||
1. **Connection state tracking**: `_connecting_peers` set tracks active connections
|
||||
2. **Pause check**: New `_should_pause_scanning()` method checks if connections are in progress
|
||||
3. **Scan skip**: `_perform_scan()` skips scan cycle when connections are active
|
||||
4. **Automatic resume**: Scanner automatically resumes when connections complete
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation Details:**
|
||||
- `linux_bluetooth_driver.py:_should_pause_scanning()` - Checks for active connections (line 539)
|
||||
- `linux_bluetooth_driver.py:_perform_scan()` - Skips scan if connections in progress (lines 586-588)
|
||||
- Scanner loop continues running, just skips scan operations temporarily
|
||||
- No need to stop/start scanner thread, just skip individual scan operations
|
||||
|
||||
**Manual Verification:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check logs for scanner coordination (DEBUG level)
|
||||
grep -i "pausing scan" ~/.reticulum/logfile
|
||||
|
||||
# Look for absence of scan loop errors
|
||||
grep "Error in scan loop.*InProgress" ~/.reticulum/logfile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Behavior After Fix:**
|
||||
- No "InProgress" errors in scan loop
|
||||
- Scanner automatically pauses during connections
|
||||
- Scanner automatically resumes after connections complete
|
||||
- Connection success rate improves (no scanner interference)
|
||||
- Log shows "Pausing scan: connection(s) in progress" at DEBUG level
|
||||
|
||||
**Why This Matters:**
|
||||
- Prevents scan-induced connection failures
|
||||
- Improves overall connection reliability
|
||||
- Reduces BlueZ error log spam
|
||||
- Scanner and connections coordinate cleanly
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

Tests for Scanner-Connection Coordination (Issue 3: Scanner Interference)
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: BleakScanner.start() called during active connection attempts causes
|
||||
"Operation already in progress" errors. Scanner doesn't check if connections are
|
||||
in progress before starting.
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause**: In `_scan_loop()`, scanner blindly calls `start()` without checking
|
||||
the `_connecting_peers` set, causing BlueZ conflicts when connections are active.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Add coordination logic to pause scanning when connections are in progress:
|
||||
1. New method `_should_pause_scanning()` checks if `_connecting_peers` is not empty
|
||||
2. Scanner checks this before calling `start()`
|
||||
3. Scanner waits briefly and retries if connections are active
|
||||
|
||||
**Test Strategy**: These tests CAN reproduce the logic error in unit tests because
|
||||
the bug is pure logic (missing coordination check). We mock BleakScanner and verify
|
||||
the coordination logic works correctly.
