Android 0.2.5 — Compact Home & real BLE RSSI beta

MeshCrossway Android 0.2.5 — Compact dual-mesh Home and measured BLE signal

Updated Home layout

• The two Meshtastic and MeshCore radio cards now appear first, side by side.
• Removed the duplicate "MT ready · MC ready" strip on Home, the full-width "Dual mesh dashboard" summary and the repeated titles between Nodes, Chats, Channels and Field tools.
• Reduced card heights/margins and row spacing. Remote Access, GPS, Tracks and navigation remain available lower down.

Real BLE signal indicator

• Each radio connection card now shows four signal bars and Bluetooth RSSI in dBm, polled from Android's BluetoothGatt callback while the corresponding radio queue is idle.
• The value measures the PHONE-TO-RADIO BLUETOOTH link, NOT the LoRa network RSSI. A reading is never invented.
• Last valid RSSI is saved per radio and shown as muted "Last BLE" after disconnect. Missing readings display "BLE signal unavailable".
• RSSI read failures are nonfatal; the two independent Meshtastic/MeshCore BLE stacks and messaging are unchanged.

Validation: The exact-source CI run #42716563284 passed build/lint and Android API29/35 emulator tests, including BLE-signal mapping and compact Home assertions. PR #199. Physical BLE RSSI verification with the user's two radios on a Galaxy S25 remains a beta acceptance test.
