The native test harness boots Portduino in simulated mode, and
wouldEncryptWithPKC() short-circuits to false whenever
portduino_config.force_simradio is set. noteOutgoingAdminRequest() derives its
pin from that predicate:
keyValid = haveDestKey && wouldEncryptWithPKC(&p, p.channel, haveDestKey);
so under the harness no outgoing admin request is ever key-pinned, and
responseIsSolicited() admits a plaintext response to a PKC-pinned request.
test_pinned_request_keeps_its_key_after_an_unpinned_request and
test_request_to_keyed_node_pins_the_stored_key have therefore failed since
#11092 added them, on develop and on every branch that merges it.
Instrumenting the predicate shows every other term already satisfied
(haveDestKey=1, isFromUs=1, private_key=32, unicast, ADMIN_APP, channel
LongFast) with wouldEncryptWithPKC=0, leaving only the simradio guard.
Clear the flag in setUp so the fixture models a real device. Skipping PKC under
force_simradio is correct for a simulated radio - there is no PKC to pin - so
the predicate is left alone rather than relaxed to make a test pass. The only
sim-mode path in this suite is AdminModule's exit_simulator intercept, which no
test here exercises.
Native suite: 38 suites, 723/723 cases, no sanitizer findings.
