48e9af60a9 feat: Remove ELRS arm requirement for autonomous operation (Issue #512)
Enable Jetson autonomous arming while keeping RC as optional override.

Key Changes:
=============

1. RC Kill Switch (CH5 OFF) → Emergency Stop (not disarm)
   - Motors cutoff immediately on kill switch
   - Robot remains armed (allows re-arm without re-initializing)
   - Maintains kill switch safety for emergency situations

2. RC Disarm Only on Explicit CH5 Falling Edge (while RC alive)
   - RC disconnect doesn't disarm Jetson-controlled missions
   - RC failsafe timer (500ms) still handles signal loss

3. Jetson Autonomous Arming (via CDC 'A' command)
   - Works independently of RC state
   - Requires: calibrated IMU, robot level (±10°), no estop active
   - Uses same 500ms arm-hold safety as RC

4. All Safety Preserved
   - Arming hold timer: 500ms
   - Tilt limit: ±10° level
   - IMU calibration required
   - Remote E-stop override
   - RC failsafe: 500ms signal loss = disarm
   - Jetson timeout: 500ms heartbeat = zero motors

Command Protocol (CDC):
   A = arm (Jetson)
   D = disarm (Jetson)
   E/Z = estop / clear estop
   H = heartbeat (keep-alive)
   C<spd>,<str> = drive command

Behavior Matrix:
   RC disconnected      → Jetson-armed stays armed, normal operation
   RC connected + armed → Both Jetson and RC can arm, blended control
   RC kill switch (CH5) → Emergency stop + can re-arm via Jetson 'A'
   RC signal lost       → Disarm after 500ms (failsafe)

See AUTONOMOUS_ARMING.md for complete protocol and testing checklist.

df49eec21f feat: Android/Termux OpenClaw node (Issue #420)
Add complete phone node infrastructure:

ROS2 Package (saltybot_phone):
- camera_node: /phone/camera/image_raw (320x240, 15 FPS)
- gps_node: /phone/gps (NavSatFix via termux-api)
- imu_node: /phone/imu (accelerometer data)
- openclaw_chat_node: Local LLM inference
  Subscribes /saltybot/speech_text
  Publishes /saltybot/chat_response
- ws_bridge: WebSocket bridge to Jetson Orin (:9090)

Phone Scripts:
- termux-bootstrap.sh: Complete Termux setup
- power-management.sh: Battery/thermal monitoring
- README.md: Setup documentation

Architecture:
- Termux on Android phone
- WiFi/USB tether to Jetson Orin
- ROS2 topic bridge for sensors
- Local LLM for on-device chat (Phi-2)
- Termux:Boot auto-start
- Power management for extended runtime
