- Fix NotificationService warnings by replacing unused error parameters with _
- Add public domain header to NotificationService.swift
- Fix BluetoothMeshService compilation errors:

- Track intentional disconnects to suppress disconnect messages
- Don't show disconnect message when dropping duplicate connections
