James Rich 8a52212bca refactor: Centralize snackbar management and decouple UI feedback from feature modules
- Introduce `SnackbarManager` and `MeshtasticSnackbarHost` to provide a unified, global mechanism for displaying transient messages across Android and Desktop platforms.
- Integrate `SnackbarManager` into `UIViewModel` and inject it into `CommonNodeRequestActions` to allow business logic to trigger feedback without direct UI dependencies.
- Remove localized `SnackbarHostState` and `LaunchedEffect` collectors from various screens in the `feature:node` module, including `PositionLog`, `PaxMetrics`, `DeviceMetrics`, and `TracerouteLog`.
- Delete `NodeRequestEffect` and refactor `NodeRequestActions` to utilize the global snackbar manager for request feedback.
- Update the top-level UI entry points in `Main.kt` (Android) and `DesktopMainScreen.kt` to host the shared `MeshtasticSnackbarHost`.
- Add comprehensive unit tests for `SnackbarManager` in `core:ui` to verify event buffering, action callbacks, and duration logic.
- Clean up related ViewModel tests to reflect the removal of the `effects` flow.

:app

Overview

The :app 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 NavHost 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 :app 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.
