# `: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. It runs as a **Foreground Service** to ensure reliable communication even when the app is in the background.

### 3. Hilt Application
`MeshUtilApplication` is the Hilt 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.
