class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">feature:docs</code> module uses <strong>no</strong> Room or persistent database. Documentation ships as build-time assets versioned with the app binary, so it stays fully offline, is replaced on each update, and needs no migration story. Optional UX state (e.g. last viewed page) could live in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">core:prefs</code> but isnt part of the docs data model.</p> <h2 id="best-practices"> <a href="#best-practices" class="anchor-heading" aria-labelledby="best-practices"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="#svg-link"></use></svg></a> Best Practices </h2> <ul> <li>Use Room for structured, queryable data that changes at runtime</li> <li>Use DataStore for simple preferences and state</li> <li>Use bundled resources/assets for static content</li> <li>Never store sensitive data (keys, passwords) in plain Room tables</li> <li>Always provide migrations for schema changes</li> </ul><hr /> </main> <hr> <footer> <footer class="site-footer"> Copyright &copy; 2026 Meshtastic LLC.
