From Phase 03 PLAN.md, REQ-01 + REQ-02 + REQ-03.
Clean-room Meshtastic protocol implementation in kerykeion crate:
- Protobuf definitions from .proto files via prost-build (not wrapping official crate)
- Connection layer: serial (USB), TCP, BLE transports
- Async reconnection with exponential backoff
- AES-CTR encryption: 16-byte nonce construction, channel PSK resolution, default key expansion
- RAK2245 gateway support
- Signal production to broadcast channel
Groups REQ-01 (protobuf), REQ-02 (connections), REQ-03 (encryption) as they form the core protocol stack.
