"""Send once on connect and print received packets over TCP.
Purpose: demonstrate pubsub send-on-connect plus receive callback flow.
Transport scope: TCP only.
Behavior: sends "hello mesh" at connect, prints packets while running.
Expected output: "Connected..." plus "Received: ..." lines for inbound packets.
Cleanup/error handling: graceful Ctrl+C exit and clean interface close.
