+ * This module implements a simple reply bot for the Meshtastic firmware.  It listens for
+ * specific text commands ("/ping", "/hello" and "/test") delivered either via a direct
+ * message (DM) or a broadcast on the primary channel.  When a supported command is
+ * received the bot responds with a short status message that includes the hop count
+ * (minimum number of relays), RSSI and SNR of the received packet.  To avoid spamming
+ * the network it enforces a per‑sender cooldown between responses.  By default the
+ * module is enabled; define MESHTASTIC_EXCLUDE_REPLYBOT at build time to exclude it
+ * entirely.  See the official firmware documentation for guidance on adding modules.
