A changed name is sent as a fresh update with its own retries, and no merge-blocking issues remain. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change increases repeat broadcasts that network-supplied name changes can trigger. Pending broadcasts also survive disconnects and disabling. Risk remains limited by bounded retries, a zero-retry default, and unchanged packet validation and destinations; actual network exposure is unknown. Retained concerns

- Around line 40-41: Check for a changed name before the retry branch in the UDP
name-sync flow, and reset _nameSendCount when sending the new name so its
initial transmission does not consume the previous packet’s retry allowance.
Keep the retry path for unchanged names.
- Line 51: Update the name-equality handling near `_nameNeedsSync` so matching
`segmentName` and the current name does not clear a pending non-empty update
before its retries finish. Keep retries active until the retry limit or an
existing explicit completion condition is reached.

Treat a changed name as a new send before retrying.
If the name changes after an earlier packet becomes due for retry, this branch calls sendNamePacket(true) first. The helper sends the new name but increments the earlier packet's retry count. With udpNumRetries == 1, the new name uses its only retry allowance on its initial transmission. Check for a changed name before the retry branch, and reset the count when sending that new name.

- Line 75: Update the early-return check in the loop that tests segmentName[0]
and mainseg.name so it does not block retries when _nameNeedsSync is set.
Preserve the early return for cleared names that have never been sent, allowing
pending empty-name packets to reach the retry branch.

- Add retry tracking variables (_lastNameSentTime, _nameSendCount, _nameNeedsSync) - Implement retry logic matching core WLED UDP sync behavior - Refactor packet sending into sendNamePacket() helper function - Use global udpNumRetries configuration (Settings -> Sync Interfaces) - Add missing static member definitions for UI integration - Retry packets every 250ms up to udpNumRetries times for reliability - Check for name changes BEFORE retry branch to avoid retrying old names - Clear _nameNeedsSync flag when all retries are complete - Update early-return check to not block retries when _nameNeedsSync is set - Preserve early return for cleared names that have never been sent - Allow pending empty-name packets to reach the retry branch Generated by Mistral Vibe.

- Line 47: Increase the `segmentName` cache capacity used by the comparison with
`curName` so it holds the full accepted segment name plus its null terminator.
Preserve the existing name-change comparison so a name at `WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN`
does not trigger repeated broadcasts or reset `_nameSendCount` on every `loop()`
call.

This variable isn't needed -- the test of _nameSendCount < udpNumRetries is equivalent. In the rare case of someone increasing udpNumRetries, sending a few extra packets is idempotent, so we can save the memory.

Is there a reason to use strlcpy here, but the explicit null set two lines below? The explicit assignment will compile to just a couple of instructions, while strlcpy() is not an intrinsic and will always be an extra function call.

Instead of re-walking the string several times, consider using the return value of the first strlcpy line which has already measured the string.
size_t nameLen = strlcpy(segmentName, curName, sizeof(segmentName));
nameLen = std::min(nameLen, WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN); // clamp
memcpy((char *)&udpOut[1], segmentName, nameLen + 1); // leave room for header byte3 participants
There was a couple of issues with this usermod, when connectivity is bad, the name_sync packet would not be re-transmitted as other UDP packet. (won't take the option "udpNumRetries"...).
This PR solves this issue by re-transmitting the udp_name_sync packet until "udpNumRetries" is reached.
