/*
 * esp_now_hosted — host-side shim implementing <esp_now.h> over esp-hosted
 * CustomRpc, so ESPHome's `espnow` component can run on a radio-less host
 * (e.g. the ESP32-P4) whose radio lives on an esp-hosted co-processor.
 *
 * A radio-less host has no native ESP-NOW. esp_wifi_remote INJECTS the full
 * esp_now.h header (types + declarations) but ships NO implementation, so every
 * esp_now_* symbol is an undefined reference at link time. This translation
 * unit provides those definitions; each forwards to the co-processor over
 * CustomRpc (see esphome/esp-hosted-firmware for the matching coprocessor
 * handlers). No esp-hosted or esp_wifi_remote source is patched, and there is no
 * duplicate-symbol clash because nothing else defines these symbols here.
 *
 * See esp_now_hosted_rpc.h for the wire protocol.
