Soooooo.... big development that uses a different solution to the problem than all of my previous work
It is supposed to be working, blueman is now giving the option of a network access point, I can associate with it as a client from my laptop, but the bridge seems to not be working.
sudo apt install blueman on the pinephone
open blueman(it is in the non-mobile friendly apps)
view -> plugins -> (plugins window opens) check - NMPANSupport (this should give you the required pand and DHCP support)
next again in blueman
view -> Local Services
The Local Services window pops up
check - Network Access Point(NAP)
The Blueman UI is mostly usable with auto-resizing on, My only issue is I couldn't see all of the profiles when paired on the pinephone screen. It works and plays well so far with the Phosh bluetooth and settings UI.
Again this is nearly done with no hand coding or added scripts required but while I have usable internet from my mobile provider on the PP and I have a network connection from my client laptop to the host PP the network bridge is not routing my traffic. I will remove my old N900 era scripts hoping that fixes everything(done). I still wonder if I have broken something playing with .conf settings and scripts and failing to write it in notes during late night hacking sessions.
this is 'route' on my laptop
I have xxx'ed out mac addresses)
ifconfig:
here is some dmesg -w outputs form the kernel when I connect via BT
most interesting is the (bnep0) entered blocking state, (bnep0) entered disabled state, and failed firmware loads.

It has been years since I have played with routing and dnsmasq but I assume that bluez and blueman should have the whole routing implemented so I would like to hear form others before I start breaking my system again.
