Do we care about the blockers left?

This blocker could be resolved for now as no new issues reported on it:
Random thrust when no thrust input given and optical flow enabled (but not sending data) [Bug] · Issue #23034 · PX4/PX4-Autopilot · GitHub
A cleaner way to solve this would be removingthis blocker:
rc.board_bootloader_upgrade isn't compiled in. No SYS_BL_UPDATE · Issue #20592 · PX4/PX4-Autopilot · GitHub

Bug report / Q&A

@Graeme SITL build fails under WSL with Ubuntu 24.04 target with protobuf dependency error.

recommended to produce the error again and share a log.

@farhang How should we manage the frames removed from the aiframes?

@dagar maybe a better solution is to have all generics and then params or init files on top of them documented.
@sfuhrer The way we also are documenting our new vehicles is also like going with generics and then document how to set the vehicles up.

PRs needing review

This is a QGC PR:
Maybe better to make it to 4 chunks of PRs from each commit?

Now they get partially highlighted when hovered Samples of before (no visual change when mouse hovers the buttons shown) ![before1](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/31e515bb-ca9a-43aa-a35f-e3a32fe1410b) ![before2](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c27a61e1-67dd-4b2e-a436-b2ee560057bc) ![before3](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/344ef18c-3586-4ab4-a730-ac4a34558ae6) samples of after - mouse hover highlights slightly (dark mode) ![after10](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b31acaf6-961f-42cd-a8b8-b2279b0abee4) ![after20](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ceb89ada-0c3f-4090-952f-169b0281402d) ![after30](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3303fd14-7f8d-453b-96a7-ad51097ebaa0) samples of after - mouse hover highlights slightly (light mode) ![after-light-10](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7851bd64-c0a8-48d1-9c3b-7730f7630ed0) ![after-light-20](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/700195a0-7eca-42ad-8b13-27dae52fcc63) ![after-light-30](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0a154525-9007-4506-a6b1-5cf869841fde) 2. Make some fixes to the "Palette Test" page the light/dark toggle button was broken and some of the QGCComponent examples lookes messed up before ![before-QmlType](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5e1da634-0046-450a-a756-5f30230b6686) after ![after-qmlType](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cd3e2aea-a9fa-4d66-aab6-33099ced4ac4) 3. Fix QGC icon The QGC icon shown in the top left corner of the app did not match the typical QGC icon seen everywhere else (icon of QGC shortcut made after an install, icon branding on QGC website, etc). I replaced the instances of the extra-bloated Q with the more common QGC icon before ![a-before](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ae82954e-489e-45c9-ab78-14a953f9ed1f) after ![a-after](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4c711406-9509-43e1-be9e-5d7d311ad112) 4. fix padding on launch card before ![z-before](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f27cd20f-e898-49a7-8105-b7c917160c79) after ![z-afer](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f858c72b-04c1-4fe7-9230-6131bb416181)
