MAVLink / drone support
AETHER drives MAVLink flight controllers (INAV / ArduPilot / PX4) through the same natural-language interface as GPIO robots (v3.6.0). The same genome that maps rover wheels maps quadcopter rotors. Five non-negotiable arming rules are enforced in every motor command:
- Arm-permitted flag required (
--arm-permitted). - Pre-arm check must pass.
- Sensor availability verified.
- 30-second inactivity auto-disarm.
- Emergency stop always registered.

Flight commands (takeoff, hover, land) are gated behind --arm-permitted. Bench-demo verified with props off.
