docs: move the firmware design docs to the documentation site - #11488
Merged
Conversation
The five documents under docs/ were written in this repo while their features
were developed. Four of them describe shipped, upstream behaviour and belong on
meshtastic.org, where users and client authors will look for them:
traffic_management_module.md -> configuration/module/traffic-management
+ development/reference/traffic-management-internals
node_info_stores.md -> development/reference/node-info-stores
mesh_beacon_module.md -> configuration/module/mesh-beacon
+ development/reference/mesh-beacon-internals
+ development/device/mesh-beacon-client-interface
lora_region_preset_compatibility_client_spec.md
-> development/device/region-preset-compatibility
Each is split by audience: settings pages carry the config surface in user
terms, reference pages carry firmware mechanism, and the device pages carry the
protocol a client app speaks. The region-preset spec always said it should
graduate out of this repo once its protobuf landed upstream, which it has
(FromRadio.region_presets, field 19).
nexthop-routing-reliability.md is not documentation - it is a working document
with a mitigation plan, a "files to modify" list and commit sequencing. Its
mitigations shipped in meshtastic#10745, so the plan is history and the analysis is
superseded; it is dropped rather than published.
Comments that cited the deleted files now point at the published pages, and the
NextHop test header cites meshtastic#10745 instead of the deleted plan.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request removes five obsolete design specifications. It updates Traffic Management Module comments to use website documentation links and updates the NextHop test header to reference the landed firmware change. ChangesDocumentation maintenance

The firmware design docs were published to meshtastic/meshtastic in #11488 and the directory was deleted. bme680_iaq_replay.md re-added it. The replay harness build command moves into the header comment of bin/bme680_iaq_replay.cpp, the only file that referenced the document.
