The MeshCore preset is the default for a new device, in the Settings and
in the radio before the Scanner is opened. The setting now accepts it:
it only took the 7 Meshtastic presets, so MeshCore picked in the App was
not saved.
Messages on MeshCore's public channel are decrypted with the channel's
published key (AES-128, checked with 2 bytes of HMAC-SHA256): the row
shows who says they sent it and the start of the text, the details the
sender, the time and the whole text. Other channels and private messages
stay encrypted.

- MeshCore joins the presets (EU/UK Narrow: 869.618 MHz, 62.5 kHz, SF8,
CR 4/8, sync 0x12), after the Meshtastic ones so stored choices keep
their number; `lora preset MeshCore` on the console
- lib/meshcore reads what MeshCore sends in clear: header, path, and a
node's advert (name, kind, key, position)
- the list row, the details, a Capture's viewer and the console echo read
a packet by the sync word it was received on
- the bandwidth is printed as 62.5, not 62

Tab in the LoRa Scanner sweeps 863-870 MHz in 100 kHz steps (the
strongest of three RSSI readings at each, at 125 kHz), shown as bars with
peak hold over a waterfall, the Sniffer's frequency marked (Q98). The
Sweep pauses the Sniffer and keeps its packets; Tab resumes it (Q99).
Status Bar: SW. The floor, top and peaks are host-tested; `lora sweep
on|off|dump` prints them on the console.
At the desk: about 607 ms a pass, a flat floor at -100 to -102 dBm
(15 dB above the chip's own) and a steady carrier at 863.2 MHz.

The Sniffer lists packets newest first (time, RSSI, SNR, and for
Meshtastic the sender, receiver and hops), with the clear header and a
hex dump on Enter (Q96); `p` picks an EU868 preset, kept in Settings
(Q95). `c` starts a Capture: pcap with LoRaTap in /captures/lora, its own
Clean-up category, recorded by a small Service so it carries on with the
App closed (Q97, Q100). The Status Bar shows L while listening, bright on
each packet, and CAP while capturing (Q101). StorageService gains raw
appends for binary files. Debug Builds get `lora inject` to test all of
this with no transmitter in range: a Capture made on the device reads
back in TShark field for field.

The 16-byte clear header (hops away, channel hash, relay node), the EU_868
presets and their frequency slots, and the channel hash, all checked
against Meshtastic's source. Captures are pcap with LoRaTap v0, read back
with TShark 4.2.5; packet RSSI is plain dBm, as Wireshark reads it.
