Research direction
Examine the failsafe trigger handling in the Rover codebase, particularly in files like 'ArduRover/GCS Mavlink.cpp' or 'ArduRover/Parameters.h'. Review existing failsafe actions (e.g., RTL, Hold) and how they are implemented. Look into the mission library (AP Mission) to understand waypoint navigation. Check the issue comments for any additional context or design suggestions.
