[#5] feat: add schema-based topic publishing with form UI #8
Conversation
Implement dynamic form generation for ROS 2 message publishing based on topic schemas, with synchronized tree and panel navigation. Features: - Schema-based form UI with support for nested objects and arrays - Dynamic JSON generation that reflects form state in real-time - Numeric input validation (uint/float types with proper constraints) - Topic integration in entity tree sidebar - Optimized data loading to prevent duplicate API requests - Auto-expansion of component nodes when selected

Major UI improvements for topic viewing and management: - Add TopicDiagnosticsPanel component with: - Connection status display (active/waiting/no publishers) - QoS profile viewing for all publishers and subscribers - QoS compatibility warnings (reliability/durability mismatches) - Last received value viewer with JSON/Form toggle - Integrated publish form with "Copy from Last" functionality - Add JsonFormViewer component for readonly/editable data display - Improve topic tree display: - Show pub/sub direction indicators (↑ green, ↓ blue) - Pre-populate topic children from topicsInfo (no extra API calls) - Add refreshSelectedEntity() for manual refresh - Change URL encoding from __ to standard %2F (percent-encoding): - sovd-api.ts: encodeURIComponent/decodeURIComponent - store.ts: encodeURIComponent for topic paths - EntityDetailPanel.tsx: encodeURIComponent for topic links - Add types for QoS profiles, topic endpoints, and topicsInfo
