The device now transmits a NodeInfo (User protobuf: id/long_name/short_name)
on the LongFast primary channel every 60s, so it appears in other Meshtastic
clients as 'Reticutasticore' / 'RTC'. NodeNum derived from the MAC
(!4359d2d0). No public key advertised, so DMs to us fall back to channel
encryption — which the existing RX path already decodes and displays.
Confirmed on hardware: announce tx=0 (success) on the first T-window.
Also spec the planned message-received animation (upside-down spinning
smiley + lightning bolts -> Meshtastic-style modal) in the README.

- Rebrand to RTC (Reticulum / meshTastic / meshCore); Meshtastic row = T.
- On-chip Meshtastic decode (mbedtls AES-128-CTR + protobuf) surfacing text
and node short-names, mirroring firmware/tools/meshtastic_decode.py.
- Device identity 'Reticutasticore' / 'RTC' (DEVICE_NAME) baked in for all
three networks; boot splash shows it.
- Trippy OLED: acid smiley with a periodic spinning-striped freak-out
(googly eyes + gaping mouth), punk 'bubble' RTC header, three live network
rows (counts + RX blips), last-decoded line.
- Hardware-confirmed: Meshtastic + MeshCore both received (0x12 MeshCore
sync word guess validated); Reticulum still placeholder.

First Phase 1 increment toward the single-device 3-in-1: one Heltec V3
(ESP32-S3 + single SX1262) rotating the radio through the Meshtastic /
MeshCore / Reticulum PHY presets, logging every raw packet it demodulates
per dwell window. No framing/crypto/bridge yet — proves the RX loop first.
Validated on hardware: radio.begin() clean, all three presets cycle, and
the Meshtastic window received live broadcast packets (-36..-41 dBm). The
single-radio time-multiplex premise (ARCHITECTURE.md §2) holds.
MeshCore sync word and Reticulum PHY are flagged placeholders in CONFIGS[].
Deps pinned (espressif32 7.0.1, RadioLib 7.7.1). Adds venv/pycache/storage
to .gitignore.
