Jean-Pierre MartineauandClaude Opus 4.8 e4d0b5d964 Bridge: persist the node's contacts across restarts
pymc_core's ContactStore is memory-only, so every bridge restart forgot
every contact and DMs failed with ERR_CODE_NOT_FOUND until the peer was
heard advertising again. Snapshot the store to contacts.json after every
mutation and reload it at startup, alongside the identity the bridge
already persists.

"""
meshterm-spi-bridge — expose an SPI-attached MeshCore radio to MeshTerm.
Some boards (the ClockworkPi uConsole hackergadgets AIO, Waveshare LoRa HATs)
wire the LoRa chip straight to the host's SPI bus — there is no companion MCU
and no firmware to flash. The node runs *in software* on the host via the
`pymc_core` library. MeshTerm, though, speaks the MeshCore companion protocol
over serial/BLE/TCP and expects to talk to a node, not to drive a bare radio.
This tool bridges the two: it runs the pymc_core node itself and puts the
standard companion protocol in front of it on a local TCP port, so that
meshterm --tcp 127.0.0.1:5000
connects exactly as if a real companion device were plugged in.
It is BOTH a friendly setup menu and the bridge process. Run it with any
Python 3 — it finds the pymc_core runtime for you and re-execs the bridge half
under that interpreter automatically. You never need to know about venvs.
./meshterm-spi-bridge # interactive menu
./meshterm-spi-bridge --check # run prerequisite checks and exit
./meshterm-spi-bridge --run # run the bridge now in this terminal
