When a region is set, transport codes add 4 bytes to the wire format. For longer flood messages (~133+ chars for 14 char username), this pushes 1-hop repeat packets past the logRxRaw() limit of MAX_FRAME_SIZE - 3 (169 bytes). The raw packet gets silently dropped, so the companion app never sees repeats and can't show "heard repeats" for those messages.
Shorter messages and messages without a region set are unaffected because they stay under the limit.
Fix: bump MAX_FRAME_SIZE from 172 to 176 (the size of the transport code field). All frame buffers and size checks reference this constant so nothing else needs to change.
Memory cost is ~1 KB worst case across all queue buffers — negligible on all platforms.
This is the easiest fix for now without dropping region scoped messages by 10-16 bytes at worst.
Confirmed this fixes it for companions. First message is 1 byte over the limit with 173 bytes, second message is at the limit with 172 bytes, third message is after flashing with this fix and stays under 176 byte limit.
