// Base for cl_px4_mr client behaviors. Encodes the async-thread discipline
// (see the locking rule in CLAUDE.md): the shared components are resolved and
// completion signals wired in onStateOrthogonalAllocation, on the state
// machine thread - never from the asynchronous onEntry thread, where
// requiresComponent/createSignalConnection contend for the state machine
// mutex and can deadlock against a concurrent transition.
//
// Derived behaviors:
// - override wireCompletionSignals() to connect their completion signal
//   (goal checker reached, vehicle disarmed, ...) - it is invoked on the
//   state machine thread during allocation
// - keep onEntry() as pure command issuance (setpoints, goals, mode switches)
// - finish through postPx4Success()/postPx4Failure(), which latch completion
//   so the timeout watchdog and a late signal can never double-post
//
// Timeout watchdog: setTimeout() arms a deadline checked from update() (the
// SignalDetector thread, ~20 Hz). On expiry the behavior posts failure -
// previously no signal-driven PX4 behavior had ANY failure path, so a stuck
// goal checker or a lost vehicle meant waiting forever. Poll-driven behaviors
// that override update() must chain CbPx4ClientBehaviorBase::update() to keep
// the watchdog.
