Remove nodes from --info output

Open rcarteraz opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Current Issue

  • The --info output has become excessively long due to the increasing size of meshes.
  • Recent changes in how --info is displayed can result in node-specific information being pushed out of view at the top of the output.
  • We already have a --nodes option that provides node-specific information, making the inclusion of nodes in --info redundant.

Proposed Solution

Remove the nodes listing from the --info output:

  • This will improve readability by shortening the output.
  • Users will be more likely to see information specific to their node without scrolling through a lengthy output.
  • It will reduce redundancy, as the --nodes option already provides detailed node information.

As someone wisely pointed out in discord, recording here for anyone who might stumble upon it: there is a --no-nodes option that directs sufficiently new firmware to not send nodes during the initial sequence. This will, at least, mean that only your own local node should usually appear in --info!
