Reticulum Announce Mechanism

About

This skill provides deep technical expertise on Reticulum's core announce mechanism, which facilitates automatic path discovery and public key distribution across decentralized networks. It enables developers to implement, debug, and optimize how nodes announce their presence, manage propagation rules like hop limits and bandwidth allocation, and handle path requests to ensure reliable end-to-end connectivity without centralized coordination. It is particularly useful for those building peer-to-peer applications or mesh networking solutions where manual configuration is not feasible.
