James Rich 1f92259f6d feat(database): enable wasmJs with real OPFS-backed persistence
Room 3.0.2 + androidx.sqlite:sqlite-web:2.7.0's WebWorkerSQLiteDriver, backed by real
SQLite compiled to WASM (@sqlite.org/sqlite-wasm) running in a dedicated Web Worker
(core/database/worker/{package.json,worker.js}), persisting via OPFS -- same shape
already proven end-to-end this session (insert survives a full page reload) against
the upstream danysantiago/room-web-demo reference. Uses the same nonWebMain
hierarchy-split pattern already proven for core:ble.

DatabaseManager (multi-device switching, legacy-DB migration, cross-transport merge)
is built entirely on DatabaseDataStore (a DataStore<Preferences> wrapper), and
androidx.datastore.preferences has zero wasmJs variant at any published version --
not a temporary gap, the Preferences type itself doesn't resolve for that target. That
whole orchestrator is out of scope for a web client (no BLE/USB device-switching story
exists there), so it moves to nonWebMain unchanged, alongside DatabaseDataStore and its
Koin module. wasmJs gets a new SingleDatabaseProvider: one real, persistent,
non-switching MeshtasticDatabase, nothing to switch between.

BusyTimeoutSQLiteDriver turned out not to be platform-neutral as originally assumed:
androidx.sqlite.SQLiteDriver.open() is suspend on androidx.sqlite's own webMain branch,
non-suspend everywhere else (confirmed from androidx.sqlite:sqlite:2.7.0's own
sources) -- split into two independent, identically-shaped classes rather than one
shared implementation, since the suspend-modifier difference means actual can't
paper over it (same "disjoint compilations" shape as core:ble's
BleServiceExtensions.kt).

getInMemoryDatabaseBuilder()/getDatabaseDirectory()/deleteDatabase()/getFileSystem()
fail loudly or return best-effort placeholders on wasmJs -- confirmed via grep that
their only real caller, DatabaseManager, lives entirely in nonWebMain now, so nothing
wasmJs-reachable needs them to do anything real. Same "fail loudly, don't silently
return wrong data" precedent as core:resources' getString().

androidApp/desktopApp needed a small, necessary addition: registering the new
CoreDatabaseNonWebModule alongside the existing CoreDatabaseModule, since without it
neither platform would have a DatabaseDataStore Koin binding anymore.

Verified independently twice: compileKotlinWasmJs/compileTestKotlinWasmJs pass;
full regression (android/jvm/iOS compiles, allTests -- with the ~21 moved
DatabaseManager*/DAO tests confirmed actually executing via real test-report output,
not just exit code) passes; androidApp and desktopApp both compile clean with the new
DI wiring; detekt/spotlessCheck clean across core:database and both app modules. No
real browser round-trip test was run against this exact worker.js (accepted as a
stretch goal, not required for this pass).

: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.
