Nine client-side fixes, one commit each, each with a Catch2 test that was watched failing with its defect restored.

Message system

• Reliable packets acked once (f90c8559b3). A packet taken into the inbound queue is acked as it comes off the socket (LL's a1b68fb8ed), and checkMessages acked it again when it read it, handled or duplicate. It now carries whether it was acked. A queued packet checkMessages refuses stays acked, as since a1b68fb8ed, which acks on arrival so the sender stops resending while it waits; a packet read straight from the socket and refused is still not acked.
• A URI in an LLSD message's variable field is sized as its text (0c3405f940), not sizeof(LLURI).
• A compressed update cut short after its extra parameters is refused (84a7c7fc7b), as one cut short in them has been since 9330f85903. The sound, the name values, the volume parameters, the texture entry and the texture animation are read whole before any is applied (ALCompressedSoundAndNames, ALCompressedVolume in llprimitive); where one runs past the end, the object is dropped and asked for whole again. An update that ends before the end of its texture entry still flushes the region's cache; the extended particle system is read as before (one cut short reads as no system). LLTextureAnim::unpackTAMessage now reports a block past the end, which also stops it reading an unfilled buffer.

Links

• findUrl finds the link after one straight after @ (7832a4d50f), rather than answering none, which stopped a text widget linking anything.
• An app SLURL's query is unescaped once (9c1699dd2e). LLSLURL keeps it escaped, so the dispatcher's queryMap is the one unescape; an escaped & no longer splits a value, %2525 no longer reads as %, and getSLURLString gives the link back.
• openfloater checks the floater it opens (53654b4781): the lists of floaters an untrusted link may not open are held to the unescaped name.
• unblock reads the object's name unescaped, as block does (d44be85c66), so a name with a space is unblocked by its link.
• teleport/<region> with no coordinates goes to the region's centre (39677191ad): a missing coordinate is 128, 128 or 0, as the handler's teleport event reads them. A link with only x now goes to (x, 128, 0) rather than (x, 0, 0).
• rlv_shownames=false reads as false (d8bacaba30); what the viewer writes, true or nothing, reads as before.

Tests. llmessage 29/29, llui 122/122, llprimitive 11/11 and the viewer's 109/109 pass on Windows; the viewer builds (RelWithDebInfo). The viewer-only handlers' reading of their links is in ALAppLinks (newview, tested in newview_tests); the handlers that call it, and the two update handlers that call the compressed-update readers, compile but have no test of their own. mac and Linux are unbuilt here.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved app-link handling for object blocking, floater selection, teleport coordinates, and query flags.
  • App SLURL query parameters are decoded once, while links retain their original encoded form.
  • Links preceded by “@” no longer prevent later valid links from being found.
  • Improved handling of incomplete object updates and packet acknowledgements, reducing duplicate acknowledgements and preventing partial updates from being applied.
  • Corrected reported sizes for URI values read from messages.

This pull request changes reliable-packet acknowledgement tracking, LLSD URI field sizing, compressed object-update decoding, app-link parsing and dispatch, and URL matching after mention prefixes. It adds tests for these behaviors.

Changes: Reliable packet acknowledgements

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Track acknowledgements through inbound processing indra/llmessage/llpacketbuffer.h, indra/llmessage/message.h, indra/llmessage/message.cpp	Packet buffers record whether a reliable packet was acknowledged while entering the inbound queue. Message processing carries that state forward and avoids adding a second pending acknowledgment.
Test queued and direct packet handling indra/llmessage/tests/message_test.cpp	Tests compare acknowledgement counts for directly handled packets, queued packets, duplicates, and refused packets.

LLSD URI field size

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Measure URI fields by text length indra/llmessage/llsdmessagereader.cpp, indra/llmessage/tests/llsdmessagereader_test.cpp	getElementSize reports an LLSD URI’s text length. Tests check both size accessors and reading the URI text.

Compressed object updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Define and test compressed field decoding indra/llprimitive/alcompressedupdate.h, indra/llprimitive/alcompressedupdate.cpp, indra/llprimitive/llprimitive.h, indra/llprimitive/llprimitive.cpp, indra/llprimitive/lltextureanim.h, indra/llprimitive/lltextureanim.cpp, indra/llprimitive/llvolumemessage.h, indra/llprimitive/CMakeLists.txt, indra/llprimitive/tests/alcompressedupdate_test.cpp	New decoders read compressed sound, name-value, volume, texture-entry, and texture-animation data. Texture-entry and texture-animation unpacking expose status used by those decoders. Tests cover decoded values, field boundaries, and truncated input.
Apply decoded sound and name-value fields indra/newview/llviewerobject.cpp	Object updates apply decoded sound and name-value fields. If decoding exceeds available data, the update requests a full cache update and kills the object.
Apply decoded volume fields indra/newview/llvovolume.cpp	Volume updates apply decoded volume and texture data. When unpacking reports a cutoff, the update is refused and the object is killed.

App-link parsing and dispatch

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Define and test shared app-link parsing indra/newview/alapplinks.h, indra/newview/alapplinks.cpp, indra/newview/CMakeLists.txt, indra/newview/tests/alapplinks_test.cpp	ALAppLinks parses floater names, object-mute requests, teleport positions, and query flags. Tests cover decoded values, defaults, and invalid inputs.
Use shared parsers in viewer handlers indra/newview/llagenthandler.cpp, indra/newview/llchatitemscontainerctrl.cpp, indra/newview/llchathistory.cpp, indra/newview/llviewerfloaterreg.cpp, indra/newview/llurldispatcher.cpp	Viewer handlers use the shared parsers for mute requests, floater names, teleport coordinates, and query flags.
Preserve escaped app-SLURL queries indra/newview/llslurl.cpp, indra/newview/llslurl.h, indra/newview/tests/llslurl_test.cpp	App SLURLs retain their escaped query string. Tests check that query-map access unescapes values once and serialization preserves the encoded query.

URL matching after mention prefixes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Continue matching after @-prefixed URLs indra/llui/llurlregistry.h, indra/llui/llurlregistry.cpp, indra/llui/tests/llurlregistry_test.cpp	URL matching skips candidates immediately preceded by @ and searches for a later URL. Tests cover later matches and inputs with no later match.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Acks, link handling and compressed update fixes" matches the main change areas in the changeset: reliable-packet acknowledgment handling in the message system (message.cpp, message.h, llpacketbuffer.h), link handling (llurlregistry, ALAppLinks, llslurl, llurldispatcher, llviewerfloaterreg, llagenthandler, llchatitemscontainerctrl), and compressed-update fixes (alcompressedupdate.h/.cpp, llviewerobject.cpp, llvovolume.cpp, lltextureanim). The title is a single, concise sentence and names the three groups of changes. It is broad, since it lists three areas instead of one primary change, but it is related to the changeset and is not vague. It does not mention the LLSD URI sizing fix, which is a minor part of the change set.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main sections. It has a detailed '## Description' that lists nine client-side fixes, grouped under 'Message system' and 'Links', with commit references and rationale. It also states test results and what was not built. The '## Related Issues' section is missing: no issue link is given, and the 'Issue Link' line is still the template placeholder. The checklist is also absent, so the author has not marked items such as documentation, style guidelines, or contributing guidelines. The description is mostly complete, so the check passes, but the missing issue link and checklist should be added.

Resolution

Add the issue link under '## Related Issues' (for example, 'closes #...' or 'relates to #...'), or state that no issue exists. Add the '## Checklist' section and mark the items that apply. Optionally, add a note on the macOS and Linux build status, which the description already states is not verified.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 41.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 36 functions across 30 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Acknowledged reliable packets can be overwritten in the inbound ring.

1169-1170: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Acknowledged reliable packets can be overwritten in the inbound ring.

bufferInboundPacket collects the ACK before the packet enters the ring. At capacity, LLPacketRing::pushPacket overwrites the oldest queued packet. The sender stops resending that ACKed packet, so the message is lost. This predates the PR.

Note: this behaviour predates this PR (already present at merge base 6ba1a87017a7); the change keeps it reachable.

Add a viewer test for the volume update handler's cut-short refusal.

199-219: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add a viewer test for the volume update handler's cut-short refusal.

The cut-short test in indra/llprimitive/tests/alcompressedupdate_test.cpp calls only ALCompressedVolume::unpack. It never reaches LLVOVolume::processUpdateMessage in indra/newview/llvovolume.cpp. That handler acts on the refusal. It flushes the region cache for non-texture-animation cuts, records a cache miss, and kills the object. It applies the volume data only after that check. No test under indra/newview/tests references processUpdateMessage. A change that applies volume before the cut check, or drops the cache-miss or kill step, would pass the current tests. Add a viewer test that sends truncated volume updates to this handler and checks the outcome for each cut position. The current handler orders these steps correctly.

Add a test case for a complete oversized animation block.

221-246: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a test case for a complete oversized animation block.

The new test covers a truncated block, the complete block, and an 8-byte block whose declared size is 4. No case covers a complete block whose declared size exceeds TA_BLOCK_SIZE (16 bytes). The lltextureanim.h header documents that a block of another size is read past and leaves the animation off. A regression that rejects only complete blocks larger than TA_BLOCK_SIZE would still pass this test, because the 4-byte case is not rejected by such a change.

Add a 21-byte case: a 4-byte size field of 17, followed by 17 payload bytes. The case checks the return value, the disabled mode, and full consumption of the buffer.

Cover trusted searches that pass through the @ retry.

98-100: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cover trusted searches that pass through the @ retry.

findUrl now searches the text after an @-prefixed link again. On that retry, the Hand check in firstUrlEntry sees only the suffix. The new test cases call found(), which uses the default is_content_trusted = false. On that path the icon entry is always skipped, so no test reaches the icon entry through the retry with trusted content.

Add a trusted search for text that contains Hand before an @-prefixed URL and an <icon> tag after it. The base code returns no match for that input. The head code returns the icon, because the retry no longer sees Hand. The expected result depends on whether the Hand check should cover text before the @-prefixed link. Decide that scope first, then assert the matching result.

Assert the ACK for a duplicate read straight from the socket.

719-728: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the ACK for a duplicate read straight from the socket.

The new test checks ACK counts for fresh, queued, and refused packets. No block reads a second copy of an accepted packet from the socket. That copy enters the duplicate branch at message.cpp:649-658, which calls collectRAck when the copy was not acked on arrival. A regression that removes that call would leave every assertion in this test passing.

Add a direct duplicate read after the "read straight from the socket" block. Use read_until(system, 2). A discarded duplicate still increments mPacketsIn, so the wait returns. Then update the counts that follow it: the queued block now expects 3 packets, the queued-copy block expects 4, and the final acksWaiting total becomes 5.
