Stack versus application
Reticulum provides identities, destinations, announces, packets, and links. LXMF and similar messengers define message fields, delivery semantics, and user interfaces on top. Reticulum-Go does not embed LXMF. Companion projects do.

- Keep message schema and mailbox logic in the app layer
- Ren Chat and LXMFy-Go are examples of that split in the Ren ecosystem
