+## 🔎 Why BROS2?
 - Visual composition of ROS 2 nodes, topics, and services without leaving the editor.
 - Automatic generation of package scaffolding and launch files from the block graph.
 - Integrated simulation hooks (Gazebo, Isaac) and telemetry panels for rapid iteration.

+## 💡 Tips
 - Keep Docker running whenever you use `window.runner.*`; the runner manages containers in `Projects/`.
 - If `pnpm dev` fails because Electron is missing, re-run `node node_modules/electron/install.js`.
 - Rerun the bootstrap script after major Node/pnpm upgrades—it is idempotent and safe to run again.
