-**The math doesn't work:**
+**Key insights:**
+
+- Classical MLS is **viable** for LoRa — 6 fragments for KeyPackage
+- Post-quantum hybrid MLS is **prohibitive** — 53+ fragments for KeyPackage
+- MLS-Lite matches Meshtastic efficiency while adding proper auth
+- **Total group setup** (KeyPackage + Welcome): ~23 fragments, ~14 sec
+
+**The math NOW works for classical MLS on LoRa:**
 
 - LoRa SF12/BW125: ~51 byte MTU, ~300 bps effective
 - EU868 duty cycle: 1% = 36 seconds TX per hour
-- **One MLS KeyPackage = 10-20 fragments = entire hour's duty budget**
+- **One MLS KeyPackage = 6 fragments = 4 sec = acceptable**
+- **Group setup = 14 sec = half duty budget, but feasible**
 
-### Current State
+**Post-quantum is still problematic for constrained links.**
 
-- MeshEnvelope uses CBOR, ~170 bytes overhead for a short message
-- MLS operations happen at application layer, not optimized for mesh
-- No fallback to lighter crypto for constrained links
+### Current State (Updated 2026-03-30)
+
+- ✅ MeshEnvelope V1 uses CBOR, ~410 bytes for empty payload
+- ✅ MeshEnvelope V2 uses truncated 16-byte addresses, ~336 bytes (~18% savings)
