Fixed race condition where started_event fires before peripheral.publish()
fully exports GATT services to D-Bus, causing "Reticulum service not found"
errors when central devices connect immediately after server startup.
Root cause:
- started_event.set() called on line 1665
- peripheral_obj.publish() called on line 1669 (exports to D-Bus)
- 50-200ms gap where server thinks it's ready but services aren't on D-Bus yet
- Central connects during gap -> "service not found" error
Fix:
- Added _verify_services_on_dbus() method to poll D-Bus adapter introspection
- Polls every 200ms with 5-second timeout after started_event fires
- Only returns from start() after confirming services are exported
- Graceful degradation: warns on timeout but doesn't fail startup
Impact:
- Eliminates "service not found" errors during server startup
- Ensures services are actually available before accepting connections
- Typical verification time: 100-300ms
- No runtime performance impact (only affects startup)
Files changed:
- src/RNS/Interfaces/linux_bluetooth_driver.py: Add D-Bus polling
- tests/test_gatt_server_readiness.py: Add test coverage
- BLE_PROTOCOL_v2.2.md: Document initialization race fix
- CHANGELOG.md: Record fix details
