Idea: Add Reticulum Network support #107

Description

@Detergent8422

Add native Reticulum Network (RNS) support to Secluso to enable decentralized, privacy-first, community-built connectivity for security cameras. This would provide an Amazon Sidewalk style mesh/long-range fallback without relying on centralized infrastructure or mass-surveillance platforms.

Why?

  • Privacy-first: RNS is designed for secure end-to-end encrypted routing between peers.
    • It is not possible to establish unencrypted links in Reticulum networks.
    • It is not possible to send unencrypted packets to any destinations in the network.
  • Resilient connectivity: Mesh and long-range capabilities (LoRa/long-range Wi‑Fi bridges/BLE) let cameras relay telemetry/alerts when Internet access is limited.
  • Community networks: Enables neighborhood or community-run networks for secure local sharing of alerts and streams without third-party servers.
  • Low-cost, low-power modes: RNS supports constrained hardware and can use sparse and intermittent links for alerts and other data.

Desired outcome would be a privacy-respecting mesh capability that makes Secluso cameras useful even without centralized services.
