📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe printConfig function in meshtastic/main.py was modified to enrich per-field output with derived metadata including protobuf type labels, human-readable descriptions, boolean/options hints, and enum value listings, replacing the prior simple field-name listing with sorted, enriched output lines.

1222-1222: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winInconsistent capitalization: "options" vs "Options".
Boolean fields print
options: True/False(lowercase) while enum fields printOptions: ...(uppercase), creating an inconsistent CLI output style.✏️ Suggested fix
- opts = " || options: True/False" if f_type == "bool" else "" + opts = " || Options: True/False" if f_type == "bool" else ""Also applies to: 1224-1224

configparameter.
config(the function parameter holding the outer message) is overwritten each iteration with a field descriptor fromfields_by_name. It still works here sinceobjDescwas already captured before the loop, but shadowing a parameter with an unrelated type is confusing and risks bugs if the function is extended later to reference the originalconfigafter this point.♻️ Suggested rename

Inline comments:
In `@meshtastic/__main__.py`:
- Line 1204: The printConfig type labeling is incomplete because type_map in
printConfig does not cover protobuf float fields, leaving config entries like
frequency_offset as unknown. Update the type resolution in printConfig by adding
the float cpp_type to type_map or deriving the label from field.cpp_type so all
supported config field types are printed consistently. Keep the change localized
to the type_map/field type handling logic in printConfig.

🌐 Web query:
Does the Meshtastic protobuf config (meshtastic/config.proto) use float or double fields?
💡 Result:
The Meshtastic protobuf configuration file (meshtastic/config.proto) uses float fields for certain parameters, such as frequency_offset [1][2]. It does not typically use double fields for configuration values [1][2]. The protobuf definitions rely on standard scalar types provided by Protocol Buffers, and the official source code confirms the use of float where floating-point precision is required for configuration settings [1][2].

Handle protobuf float fields in printConfig type_map currently leaves Meshtastic config float fields as "unknown" (for example, frequency_offset), so the type labels are still incomplete. Expanding the mapping or deriving the label from field.cpp_type would make the output consistently user-friendly.
