Add a scalable .deb packaging framework for VOXL2, built on the
existing cmake/package.cmake CPack infrastructure. The framework
handles multi-processor boards by having the POSIX (_default) build
own the .deb and pull in the companion SLPI build's artifacts.
Board-specific files:
- cmake/package.cmake: CPack variable overrides (name, deps, version)
- cmake/install.cmake: install() rules for all .deb contents
- debian/postinst: px4-* symlinks, DSP signature, directory setup
- debian/prerm: service stop, symlink cleanup
- debian/voxl-px4.service: systemd unit (after sscrpcd)
Infrastructure changes:
- cmake/package.cmake: hook for board-specific CPack overrides
- platforms/posix/CMakeLists.txt: hook for board install.cmake
- Makefile: %_deb pattern rule (build _default, then cpack -G DEB)
- CI: auto-discover _deb targets, collect .deb artifacts, upload
to GitHub Releases
Future boards: add cmake/package.cmake + cmake/install.cmake and
CI discovers it automatically. No new file formats or tools needed.

Read companion_targets files from board directories and exclude those

Make prerequisite, avoiding redundant CI jobs.

Line 319 used nested quotes inside f-strings, a feature only available
in Python 3.12+. The CI Docker image (px4-dev-base-focal:2021-08-18)
runs Python 3.8, causing the "msg file docs" Jenkins stage to fail on
every main build since 6bf73d9d89.
Extract the join expressions into local variables to restore
compatibility with Python 3.8+.
airframes.xml and all_events.json.xz on the px4-travis S3 bucket have
been stale since October 2025 because package_build_artifacts.sh had
wrong paths for both files after the migration from metadata.yml to
build_all_targets.yml.
- airframes.xml: SITL builds produce it under docs/, not at the build
root (only NuttX does that). Use explicit file checks to try both.
- all_events.json.xz: was copied flat into artifacts/$build_dir/ but
the _general section expected it under events/. Preserve the
subdirectory so the copy to _general/ actually finds the file.
- Remove duplicate cp lines that were misleadingly commented as
"ROS 2 msgs".
- Fail with an error when critical _general metadata files are missing
rather than silently producing incomplete artifacts.
Also uploaded fresh metadata to S3 manually to unblock Flight Review.

Add CI enforcement of conventional commit format for PR titles and
commit messages. Includes three Python scripts under Tools/ci/:
- conventional_commits.py: shared parsing/validation library
- check_pr_title.py: validates PR title format, suggests fixes
- check_commit_messages.py: checks commits for blocking errors
(fixup/squash/WIP leftovers) and advisory warnings (review-response,
formatter-only commits)
The workflow (.github/workflows/commit_checks.yml) posts concise
GitHub PR comments with actionable suggestions and auto-removes them
once issues are resolved.
Also updates CONTRIBUTING.md and docs with the conventional commits
convention.

os.scandir() returns entries in non-deterministic order, which caused
voxl2-slpi to sometimes build before voxl2_default (which it depends
on). Sort all os.scandir() calls lexicographically by name so the
shorter prefix voxl2 always precedes voxl2-slpi.
* removed commented out parts
* changed the height controller to work in Altitude mode and moved the controller to the uuv_pos_control.hpp instead of uuv_att_control.hpp
* Updated format changes etc. Removed one parameter, that is not used anymore(UUV_HGT_MODE) added my correct email
* added a rotation to the thrust, that with different roll and pitch values, x y z thrust is still working as if roll/pitch is zero.
* fixed constant roll/pitch to be 0.0 again
* added parameter for maximum distance between controlled des height and current height.
Added state observation to reset the desired height to current height when altitude mode is turned on.
* added first short descriptions of manual modes.
* update descriptions
* removed vector dependency

Fix generate_msg_docs.py IndexError when a .msg file declares a single
topic that does not match the camel_to_snake default (e.g.
AuxGlobalPosition.msg). The error message referenced self.topics[1]
(out of bounds) instead of self.topics[0].
Fix camel_to_snake() regex to correctly convert names like
"AuxGlobalPosition" to "aux_global_position". The previous regex
produced "aux_globalposition" because it failed to insert an underscore
between a lowercase letter and an uppercase letter mid-word.
Also remove stderr redirection (2>&1) from all make targets in
metadata_sync.sh so that errors are visible in CI logs even in
non-verbose mode, making failures easier to diagnose.

Update the local Docker convenience script to use the unified
px4io/px4-dev image instead of the retired per-toolchain images
(px4-dev-clang, px4-dev-simulation-bionic).
Usage:
./Tools/docker_run.sh make px4_sitl_default
./Tools/docker_run.sh make tests TESTFILTER=ULogMessages
PX4_DOCKER_REPO="px4io/px4-dev:custom" ./Tools/docker_run.sh make px4_fmu-v6x_default
Changes:
- Default to px4io/px4-dev:v1.17.0-beta1, remove conditional image
guessing for clang/tests targets
- Remove stale env passthrough (Travis CI, AWS, Codecov, Coveralls)
- Keep CCACHE_DIR and sanitizer flags (PX4_ASAN/MSAN/TSAN/UBSAN)
- Fix $PWD shadowing by renaming to SCRIPT_DIR
- Use "$@" instead of "$1 $2 $3" for proper argument forwarding

Add regex-based file exclusion to the clang-tidy runner script.
This allows excluding paths (submodules, vendored code, tests) from
static analysis without modifying .clang-tidy files in each directory.
The -exclude argument accepts a regex pattern that is matched against
file paths from the compilation database. Matching files are skipped.
Example: -exclude="src/lib/foo|src/modules/bar"
This prepares for the clang-tidy v6 to v18 migration where we need
to exclude external code that we consume but don't maintain.

Remove Gazebo Classic installation branches for Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04.

Supported Ubuntu LTS versions going forward:
- Ubuntu 24.04 (primary, used in CI and release builds)
- Ubuntu 22.04 (secondary, still supported)
When Ubuntu 26.04 LTS releases we will bump to 26.04/24.04.

Add conditional metadata generation for PRs that modify both docs and
source files. This fixes broken link checker reports when a PR adds a
new module and documents it simultaneously - previously the link checker
would fail because metadata files are only generated on push to main.
Changes:
- Add docs-orchestrator.yml workflow with:
- detect-changes job to check if PR touches source paths
- pr-metadata-regen job that generates metadata and uploads as artifact
- link-check job that downloads metadata artifact when available
- build-site job for VitePress site generation
- deploy-aws and crowdin-upload jobs for push events
- Prettier formatting step before auto-commit on push
- Add Prettier for markdown formatting:
- Add prettier ^3.2.0 as devDependency in docs/package.json
- Add docs/.prettierrc with prose-preserving config
- Remove normalize_whitespace from metadata_sync.sh (Prettier handles
whitespace normalization now)

* Tools: rewrite uploader script
This adds a script called px4_uploader.py which is a complete rewrite
using Claude Code of px_uploader.py.
The main improvements over the previous px_uploader.py script are:
- Separate smaller classes instead of one big uploader class.
- Easier debugging with --verbose or --debug flags.
- Nicer progress animation.
- No more hard to debug Exception swallowing over multiple levels.
- Auto-detection and looping of devices, removing the functionality from
cmake.
- Auto-detection of PX4 devices by USB VID/PID.
- Add noninteractive mode
- Add JSON output mode
Replaces the legacy pure-Python lookup table CRC32 implementation with the built-in `zlib.crc32`.
The previous implementation relied on a manual loop over bytes, which was inefficient for large firmware files (taking ~0.5s for 2MB on modern CPUs). The new implementation reduces this to ~1ms.
Implementation details:
- Removed the hardcoded `crctab` array to clean up the code.
- Adjusted `zlib` initial state (0xFFFFFFFF) and final XOR operations to ensure bit-perfect compatibility with the specific CRC32 variant expected by the PX4 bootloader.
Benchmark (2MB firmware):
- Legacy: ~0.48s
- zlib: ~0.001s
