Meshtrike - A Zero-Internet Android Mesh Messenger Built via Strict Sandbox Privilege Separation

Meshtrike is an open-source, off-grid Android mesh messenger built for active censorship zones and communication blackouts. 
Unlike other mesh tools, Meshtrike’s core application is written in Rust and operates with zero Android internet permissions. By offloading all web routing (via the metadata-private Nym Mixnet) to a separate companion app, it implements strict privilege separation. If a file-based exploit hits the messenger, it is physically sandboxed from exfiltrating keys over the web. 
Featuring store-and-forward mesh routing, native Meshtastic LoRa radio integration, anti-forensic duress wipes, and raw pixel media redrawing, it is designed from the ground up for high-risk deployment. 
The project is open-source (Apache-2.0) and currently looking for peer reviews and cryptographic protocol auditing.
