Switch the fast-GPS beacon to the firmware's canonical 16-byte wire format
(magic, key6, lat/lon microdegrees, speed km/h) — no on-wire timestamp; the
receiver stamps its own RX time. Drops compatibility with the older 19-byte app
format.
Mirror the firmware's adaptive send cadence in the app-fallback path
(LocationTrackingService): anchor + dwell motion hysteresis, EMA ground speed,
9-min stationary keepalive, fix-quality (accuracy) gate, and a post-RX hold-off
to avoid channel collisions. Parked nodes now beacon the stable anchor instead
of GPS wander.
Add the fast_gps_region config: region-scope picker in settings backed by the
firmware's fast_gps_region / fast_gps_regions custom vars.

- i18n: translate connection screen + chat tab keys into 13 locales;
add "Send my contact" (advert) strings in all locales
- feat: move self-advert from home header into composer "+" action menu
(new lib/utils/advert_helper.dart, always shows Flood/Direct sheet)
- fix: hide-repeaters map toggle was bypassed in simple mode
- fix: simple mode map now shows only favourite chat contacts
- fix: wrap ListTiles in Material (contact_tile secondary actions,
inferred contact group card) to satisfy Flutter ink assertions
- device-authoritative contact/channel sync and UX review fixes

When a contact has no GPS, estimate their position from RSSI
observations through multiple repeaters:
- 1 repeater: offset by RSSI distance in deterministic direction
- 2 repeaters: weighted midpoint between circle intersections
- 3+ repeaters: weighted centroid with inverse-square weighting
(closer repeater observations dominate)
Observations stored per-repeater (latest wins), max 8 per contact,
expire after 30 minutes. Each incoming message updates the estimate.
For contacts without GPS, estimate their position by:
1. Finding the first-hop repeater from their routing path
2. Estimating distance from RSSI using log-distance path loss model
3. Placing them at a deterministic offset from the repeater
Uses LoRa outdoor path loss exponent (n=3.0) with reference RSSI
-30dBm at 1m. Distance clamped to 10m-50km range. Bearing derived
from contact public key hash for stable positioning.
Move BLE communication layer (command queue, frame parser/builder,
protocol constants, data models) into a standalone reusable Dart package
at ../meshcore_client. App model files become thin re-export wrappers,
keeping all existing consumers working without import changes.
