MeshTerm now announces the connected node by itself: a zero-hop advert
every 1/2/3/4 hours (default hourly) and a flood advert every
3/6/12/24/48/168 hours (default daily), each switchable off. The
cadences are staged and applied from a new Background adverts section
in the device-configuration editor, and persist per device (keyed by
public key) in adverts.json alongside the last-sent mark for each type
— so the countdown survives restarts, and a manual send from any
advert flow resets the same clock the scheduler reads.
The scheduler stays transmission-shy: at most one advert per 30 s pass
(a flood due together with a direct waits a pass), and a never-sent
device is armed to count from now rather than advertised immediately.
It holds no device subscription — each pass just skips when nothing is
connected — so reconnects need no special handling, and scripted CLI
runs never start it.
