James Rich 2137ef3410 fix(ble): never give up while user has device selected
The reconnect policy previously capped at 10 consecutive failures and
emitted a permanent disconnect, which terminated the reconnect loop and
required the user to manually re-select the device. BleRadioTransport is
only ever instantiated for the user-selected address (verified via
SharedRadioInterfaceService.startTransportLocked), so the only legitimate
permanent-disconnect path is explicit close() owned by the service layer.

- BleRadioTransport: pass maxFailures = Int.MAX_VALUE; backoff still
  caps at 60 s so battery impact remains bounded.
- BleExceptionClassifier: flip UnmetRequirementException (BT off /
  permission missing) to non-permanent — both can resolve without the
  user re-selecting the device.
- Test: replace the old 'gives up after DEFAULT_MAX_FAILURES' test with
  an inverted contract test that runs past the legacy threshold and
  asserts the policy never emits isPermanent=true on its own.

:core:network

Overview

The :core:network module handles all internet-based communication, including fetching firmware metadata, device hardware definitions, and map tiles (in the fdroid flavor). It also provides the shared radio transport layer (TCPInterface, SerialTransport, BleRadioInterface).

Key Components

1. Ktor Client

The module uses Ktor as its primary HTTP client for high-performance, asynchronous networking.

2. Remote Data Sources

  • FirmwareReleaseRemoteDataSource: Fetches the latest firmware versions from GitHub or Meshtastic's metadata servers.
  • DeviceHardwareRemoteDataSource: Fetches definitions for supported Meshtastic hardware devices.

3. Shared Transports

  • BleRadioInterface: Multiplatform BLE transport powered by Kable.
  • TCPInterface: Multiplatform TCP transport.
  • SerialTransport: JVM-shared USB/Serial transport powered by jSerialComm.
  • BaseRadioTransportFactory: Common factory for instantiating the KMP transports.
