James Rich 9f5b7d65c3 docs: Refresh module READMEs after AIDL removal / controller refactor
The :core:service, :core:repository, and :core:model READMEs still
described the removed AIDL/broadcast architecture and deleted types.

- core/service: replace the `ServiceAction` (intent bus) section with
  DirectRadioControllerImpl and its four sub-controllers + editSettings.
- core/repository: drop MeshActionHandler.kt / MeshRouter.kt from the
  source listing and add the RadioController sub-interfaces; fix the
  ServiceRepository sketch (no serviceAction/onServiceAction) and
  installConfig (List<Node>, not List<NodeInfo>).
- core/model: the Parcelable/@Parcelize section is gone (Parcelable was
  removed from :core:common) — models are now @Serializable / value
  classes; replace deleted `NodeInfo` with `Node` and note
  NodeAddress/ContactKey typed addressing.

:core:model (Meshtastic Domain Models)

Overview

The :core:model module is a Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) library containing the domain models and data classes used throughout the application and its API. These models are platform-agnostic and designed to be shared across Android, JVM, and future supported platforms.

Multiplatform Support

Models are plain commonMain Kotlin types — @Serializable (kotlinx.serialization) data classes and @JvmInline value classes — with no Android Parcelable dependency, so they are shared verbatim across Android, JVM, and iOS.

Key Models

  • DataPacket: Represents a mesh packet (text, telemetry, etc.).
  • Node: Contains detailed information about a node (position, SNR, battery, etc.).
  • NodeAddress / ContactKey: Type-safe node addressing (Broadcast/Local/ByNum/ById) and contact-key parsing, replacing stringly-typed "^all"/"!hex" handling.
  • DeviceHardware: Represents supported Meshtastic hardware devices and their capabilities.
  • Channel: Represents a mesh channel configuration.

Usage

This module is a core dependency of most feature modules.

// In commonMain
implementation(projects.core.model)

Structure

  • commonMain: Contains the majority of domain models and logic.
  • androidMain: Contains Android-specific utilities and implementations for expect declarations.
  • androidUnitTest: Contains unit tests that require Android-specific features (like Parcel testing via Robolectric).
