What it does
- Discovers every node, topic, service and action on the robot automatically, without configuration.
- Turns error logs, failed actions and /diagnostics messages into faults showing what broke, where and how severe.
- Confirms each fault, keeps its history, and clears it once fixed.
- Saves a snapshot and a rosbag of the moment each fault happened.
- Reads topics as JSON, calls services and actions, and reads and sets parameters through the API.
- Streams faults live and offers software updates through a plugin, with sign-in and per-user permissions.
