  "description": "Discrete-event simulator for MeshCore mesh networks. Each simulated node runs the real MeshCore routing and cryptography code as a standalone subprocess; a Python orchestrator wires them together over simulated radio links with configurable loss, latency, SNR, RSSR, and adversarial behaviour. Includes topology visualiser and supports privacy-protocol experiments.",
