NodeAddress

Type-safe representation of a mesh node address.

Replaces stringly-typed node addressing ("^all", "^local", "!hexid") with exhaustive sealed dispatch, enabling compile-time verification of address handling.

Address by hex string ID (e.g. "!a1b2c3d4").

ByNum

Address by numeric node number (the canonical mesh-level identifier).

data object Local : NodeAddress

The local node (used as from when the sender's ID is unknown).
