James Rich 69883e9306 refactor: remove AIDL API and modernize radio architecture
Remove the deprecated AIDL/IPC API surface and perform deep architectural
modernization of the radio command pipeline, aligning with the meshtastic-sdk
AdminApiImpl pattern for future SDK migration.

Key changes:

1. AIDL Removal & Infrastructure Cleanup
   - Delete core:api module and all AIDL interfaces
   - Remove ServiceBroadcasts + CommonParcelable infrastructure
   - Remove core:api from CI workflow lint/publish steps

2. Model Modernization
   - Introduce NodeAddress sealed class with type-safe addressing
   - Remove deprecated DataPacket constants in favor of NodeAddress
   - Consolidate dual node maps into single source with getNodeById
   - Split large model files, deduplicate NodeEntity, flatten RadioController

3. Service Layer Refactoring (SDK-aligned)
   - Remove ServiceAction sealed class, use direct suspend calls
   - Convert CommandSender & MeshActionHandler to suspend APIs
   - Merge MeshActionHandler into DirectRadioControllerImpl
     (ViewModel → RadioController → CommandSender, no intermediate layer)
   - Build AdminMessage protos directly with typed protos end-to-end
   - Apply structured concurrency to NodeRequestActions/NodeManagementActions
   - Fix CancellationException handling throughout

Architecture (before → after):
  ViewModel → RadioController → Handler → CommandSender → PacketHandler
  ViewModel → RadioController → CommandSender → PacketHandler

:androidApp

Overview

The :androidApp module is the entry point for the Meshtastic Android application. It orchestrates the various feature modules, manages global state, and provides the main UI shell.

Key Components

1. MainActivity & Main.kt

The single Activity of the application. It hosts the shared MeshtasticNavDisplay navigation shell and manages the root UI structure (Navigation Bar, Rail, etc.).

2. MeshService

The core background service that manages long-running communication with the mesh radio. While it is declared in the :androidApp manifest for system visibility, its implementation resides in the :core:service module. It runs as a Foreground Service to ensure reliable communication even when the app is in the background.

3. Koin Application

MeshUtilApplication is the Koin entry point, providing the global dependency injection container.

Architecture

The module primarily serves as a "glue" layer, connecting:

  • core:* modules for shared logic.
  • feature:* modules for specific user-facing screens.
