The dispatcher deduped on inbound text but relayed a prefixed copy
("[net/sender] text"), so a re-heard relayed message hashed differently
and was re-relayed, stacking another prefix each hop — an unbounded loop,
exactly what the dedup was meant to prevent.
Add MessageBus.mark_seen() and record the on-air relayed string before
sending, so the bridge recognises and drops its own relayed copies.

archy-messh
Research + firmware project exploring a single LoRa device that can speak, relay, and repeat between three independent mesh networking protocols:
- Meshtastic
- MeshCore
- Reticulum (via RNode-style modem firmware)
Goal: one ESP32-based device that acts as a tri-protocol repeater/bridge —
not a fork of any single project, and not affiliated with or dependent on
the archy (Archipelago) codebase. This repo is intentionally standalone.
Status
Architecture phase done — see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the protocol
research, hardware constraints (target: Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V3), and
phased plan. Phase 0 (host-side bridge across 3 separate stock-firmware
boards) is written — see host-bridge/ — but not yet hardware-tested; no
LoRa boards have been attached to the dev machine this was written on.

Non-goals (for now)
- Not reimplementing any of the three protocols from scratch in v1
- Not targeting non-ESP32 hardware initially
- Not touching/depending on the
archy(Archipelago) repo in any way
