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 refactor StatusMessages to be usable in both contexts.
