dd459c0df7 feat: Configure Nav2 recovery behaviors (Issue #479)
Implement conservative recovery behaviors for autonomous navigation on FC + Hoverboard ESC drivetrain.

Recovery Sequence (round-robin, 6 retries):
  1. Clear costmaps (local + global)
  2. Spin 90° @ 0.5 rad/s max (conservative for self-balancer)
  3. Wait 5 seconds (allow dynamic obstacles to move)
  4. Backup 0.3m @ 0.1 m/s (deadlock escape, very conservative)

Configuration Details:
  - backup: 0.3m reverse, 0.1 m/s speed, 0.15 m/s max, 5s timeout
  - spin: 90° rotation, 0.5 rad/s max angular velocity, 1.6 rad/s² accel
  - wait: 5-second pause for obstacle clearing
  - progress_checker: 20cm minimum movement threshold in 10s window

Safety:
  - E-stop (Issue #459) takes priority over recovery behaviors
  - Emergency stop system runs independently on STM32 firmware
  - Conservative speeds for FC + Hoverboard ESC stability

## Overview
Recovery behaviors are triggered when Nav2 encounters navigation failures (path following failures, stuck detection, etc.). The recovery system attempts multiple strategies before giving up:
1. **Clear costmaps** — Reset perception obstacles
2. **Spin recovery** — In-place 90° rotation to detect surroundings
3. **Wait recovery** — 5-second pause for dynamic obstacles to move
4. **Backup recovery** — Reverse 0.3m to escape deadlocks

## Safety: E-Stop Priority (Issue #459)
The emergency stop system (Issue #459, `saltybot_emergency` package) runs independently of Nav2 and takes absolute priority:
- **Trigger**: Obstacles within 0.3m (configurable)
- **Action**: Immediate zero velocity command, overrides all recovery behaviors
- **Integration**: Publishes directly to `/cmd_vel`, pre-empting Nav2 output
The emergency stop system (Issue #459, `saltybot_emergency` package) runs independently of Nav2 and takes absolute priority.
Recovery behaviors cannot interfere with E-stop because the emergency system operates at the motor driver level on the STM32 firmware.
## Behavior Tree Sequence
Recovery runs in a round-robin fashion with up to 6 retry cycles:
```
NavigateRecovery (6 retries)
├── Normal navigation (compute path → follow path)
└── Recovery fallback:
├── Clear costmaps
├── Spin 90°
├── Wait 5s
└── Back up 0.3m @ 0.1 m/s
```
Each cycle, the next recovery action is attempted (round-robin). If navigation succeeds, recovery stops. If all retries exhaust, goal fails.

- **Recovery velocity constraints**: 50% of normal for stability
The conservative recovery speeds ensure smooth deceleration profiles on the self-balancing drivetrain without tipping or oscillation.
## Configuration Files
- **nav2_params.yaml**: behavior_server section with spin, backup, wait parameters
- **navigate_to_pose_with_recovery.xml**: Behavior tree defining recovery sequence
- **emergency.launch.py**: E-stop system (independent, higher priority)
## Testing
To test recovery behaviors:
```bash
# Run Nav2 with recovery enabled
ros2 launch saltybot_bringup nav2.launch.py
# Trigger recovery by creating obstacles in the path
# or setting unreachable goals
# Monitor recovery with:
ros2 topic echo /cmd_vel # Check velocity commands during recovery
ros2 topic echo /diagnostics # Monitor Nav2 status
```
