Pull request overview
Adds a dedicated Electron popout window for MAVLink STATUSTEXT messages and replaces the in-dashboard resizable message panel with a new floating widget that can be popped out.
Changes:
- Add a new Vite multi-page entry (
statusTextWindow.html+src/statusTextWindow.jsx) for the status text popout. - Add Electron main-process window management + IPC wiring to open/close/update the status text popout.
- Replace the dashboard’s old resizable status message panel with a new
StatusTextWidget, and refactorStatusMessagesto be usable in both contexts.
