fix(ci): lint test files on PRs without breaking push-to-main

The pr-review-poster was flagging `gtest/gtest.h file not found` on any
PR that added or modified a test file, because clang-tidy-diff-18.py
ran against files that weren't in the compilation database. PR #27004
and PR #26233 both hit this. The root cause is that test TUs only
enter compile_commands.json when BUILD_TESTING is ON, which the
historical clang-tidy build does not enable.

This PR fixes both halves of the problem:

1. Add a second make target `px4_sitl_default-clang-test` that configures
   a separate build dir with -DCMAKE_TESTING=ON. Test TUs land in its
   compile_commands.json with resolved gtest/fuzztest include paths.

2. Add an umbrella `clang-ci` target that depends on both
   `px4_sitl_default-clang` and `px4_sitl_default-clang-test` so the PR
   job prepares both build dirs with one make invocation.

3. On PR events the workflow uses `make clang-ci`, installs
   libclang-rt-18-dev (needed so fuzztest's FUZZTEST_FUZZING_MODE flags
   do not fail the abseil try_compile with a misleading "pthreads not
   found" error), and routes the clang-tidy-diff producer at the
   test-enabled build dir.

4. Push-to-main is left entirely alone: same single build dir, same
   `make px4_sitl_default-clang`, same `make clang-tidy`. Test files
   are not in that DB so run-clang-tidy.py keeps ignoring them exactly
   as before. This preserves green main while ~189 pre-existing
   clang-tidy issues in test files remain untouched; fixing those is
   out of scope for this change.

5. Replace the fragile `:!*/test/*` pathspec filter (which missed flat
   `*Test.cpp` files in module roots) with
   `Tools/ci/clang-tidy-diff-filter.py`, which reads the compilation
   database and drops any changed source file that is not a TU.
   Headers always pass through. Production code that happens to use
   test-like names (src/systemcmds/actuator_test, src/drivers/test_ppm,
   etc.) stays analyzed because those are real px4_add_module targets.

Verified in the ghcr.io/px4/px4-dev:v1.17.0-rc2 container and on the
real CI runner:
- cmake configure with CMAKE_TESTING=ON succeeds after installing
  libclang-rt-18-dev (Found Threads: TRUE)
- compile_commands.json grows from 1333 to 1521 TUs
- Modifying HysteresisTest.cpp with a new `const char *p = NULL`
  correctly flags hicpp-use-nullptr and
  clang-diagnostic-unused-variable on the new line, while pre-existing
  issues on other lines of the same file stay suppressed by
  clang-tidy-diff-18.py's line filter ("Suppressed ... 1 due to line
  filter")
- No gtest/gtest.h false positives
- Push-to-main path unchanged, still green

+argument-hint: "[optional: branch name, defaults to current branch]"
+allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Glob, Grep, Agent
+---
+
+# Rebase Branch onto Main
+
+Rebase the current (or specified) branch onto `main`, correctly handling the case where the branch was built on top of another branch that has since been squash-merged into `main`.
+
+## Background
+
+When a parent branch is squash-merged, its individual commits become a single new commit on `main` with a different hash. A normal `git rebase main` will try to replay the parent's original commits, causing messy conflicts. The fix is to **cherry-pick only the commits unique to this branch** onto a fresh branch from `main`.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Identify the branch.** Use `$ARGUMENTS` if provided, otherwise use the current branch.
+
+2. **Fetch and update main:**
+   ```
+   git fetch origin main:main
+   ```
+
+3. **Find the merge base** between the branch and `main`:
+   ```
+   git merge-base <branch> main
+   ```
+
+4. **List all commits** on the branch since the merge base:
+   ```
+   git log --oneline <merge-base>..<branch>
+   ```
+
+5. **Identify which commits are unique to this branch** vs. inherited from a parent branch. Look for:
+   - Squash-merged commits on `main` that correspond to a group of commits at the bottom of the branch's history (check PR titles, commit message keywords).
+   - The boundary commit: the first commit that belongs to *this* branch's work, not the parent's.
+   - If ALL commits are unique (no parent branch), just do a normal `git rebase main` and skip the rest.
+
+6. **Create a fresh branch from `main`:**
+   ```
+   git checkout -b <branch>-rebase main
+   ```
+
+7. **Cherry-pick only the unique commits** (oldest first):
+   ```
+   git cherry-pick <first-unique-commit>^..<branch>
+   ```
+   The `A^..B` range means "from the parent of A through B inclusive."
+
+8. **Handle conflicts** if any arise during cherry-pick. Resolve and `git cherry-pick --continue`.
+
+9. **Replace the old branch:**
+   ```
+   git branch -m <branch> <branch>-old
+   git branch -m <branch>-rebase <branch>
+   ```
+
+10. **Verify** the result:
+    ```
+    git log --oneline main..<branch>
+    ```
+    Confirm only the expected commits are present.
+
+11. **Ask the user** before force-pushing. When approved:
+    ```
+    git push origin <branch> --force-with-lease
+    ```
+
+12. **Clean up** the old branch:
+    ```
+    git branch -D <branch>-old
+    ```

+---
+
+# PX4 Pull Request Review
+
+Review a pull request with domain-aware checks based on which files are changed.
+
+**No Claude attribution anywhere.**
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Fetch PR context.** Run these in parallel:
+   - `gh pr view <PR> --json number,title,body,baseRefName,headRefName,files,commits,reviewRequests,reviews,author`
+   - `gh pr checks <PR>` (exit code 8 means some checks are pending, this is normal, not an error)
+   - `gh pr diff <PR>` -- if this fails with HTTP 406 (300+ files), do NOT retry. Instead use `gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/NUMBER/files --paginate` to get the full file list in one call, then fetch patches for key infrastructure files individually and sample representative changes from each domain touched.
+   - `gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/NUMBER/comments --paginate --jq '.[] | {user: .user.login, body: .body, path: .path, created_at: .created_at}'` to get inline review comments
+   - `gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/issues/NUMBER/comments --paginate --jq '.[] | {user: .user.login, body: .body, created_at: .created_at}'` to get PR conversation comments
+
+   From the PR metadata, note:
+   - **Assigned reviewers**: who has been requested to review (from `reviewRequests`)
+   - **Existing reviews**: who has already reviewed and their verdict (from `reviews` -- approved, changes_requested, commented, dismissed)
+   - **PR comments and inline comments**: read all existing feedback to avoid duplicating points already raised by other reviewers, and to build on their discussion rather than ignoring it
+
+2. **Check CI status.** From the `gh pr checks` output in step 1, summarize pass/fail/pending. If there are failures, fetch logs with `gh run view <run-id> --log-failed`. Include CI status in the output.
+
+3. **Recommend merge strategy.** Analyze the commit history and recommend squash or rebase merge. This decision informs all subsequent commit hygiene feedback.
+
+   **Recommend rebase merge** when:
+   - Commits are atomic, each builds/works independently
+   - Each commit has a proper `type(scope): description` message
+   - The PR intentionally separates logical changes (e.g., refactor + feature, or one commit per module)
+   - The commit history tells a useful story that would be lost by squashing
+
+   **Recommend squash merge** when:
+   - There are WIP, fixup, or review-response commits
+   - Commit messages are messy or inconsistent
+   - The PR is a single logical change spread across multiple commits
+   - There are "oops" or "make format" commits mixed in
+
+   Include the recommendation in the output. If recommending rebase, flag any commits that break atomicity or have bad messages. If recommending squash, don't bother flagging individual commit messages (they'll be discarded) but ensure the PR title is correct since it becomes the squash commit message.
+
+4. **Check conventional commit title.** Verify the PR title follows `type(scope): description` per CONTRIBUTING.md. The PR title becomes the commit message on squash-merge, so it must be accurate and descriptive. Verify the scope matches the primary area of changed files. If the PR introduces breaking changes, the title must include `!` before the colon. If rebase merge was recommended in step 3, also scan individual commit messages for anti-patterns: vague messages ("fix", "update"), missing type prefix, review-response noise ("apply suggestions from code review", "do make format"), or WIP markers. Flag these for rewording.
+
+5. **Identify domains touched.** Classify changed files into domains based on paths (a PR may touch multiple):
+   - **Estimation**: `src/modules/ekf2/`, `src/lib/wind_estimator/`, `src/lib/world_magnetic_model/`
+   - **Control**: `src/modules/mc_*control*/`, `src/modules/fw_*control*/`, `src/modules/flight_mode_manager/`, `src/lib/rate_control/`, `src/lib/npfg/`, `src/modules/vtol_att_control/`
+   - **Drivers/CAN**: `src/drivers/`, `src/modules/cyphal/`, `src/drivers/uavcan*/`
+   - **Simulation**: `src/modules/simulation/`, `Tools/simulation/`
+   - **System**: `src/modules/commander/`, `src/modules/logger/`, `src/systemcmds/`, `platforms/`, `src/modules/dataman/`
+   - **Board Addition**: `boards/{manufacturer}/{board}/` (new directories only, not modifications to existing boards)
+   - **CI/Build**: `.github/`, `CMakeLists.txt`, `Makefile`, `cmake/`, `Tools/`, `Kconfig`
+   - **Messages/Protocol**: `msg/`, `src/modules/mavlink/`, `src/modules/uxrce_dds_client/`
+
+6. **Apply core checks** (always):
+   - **Correctness**: logic errors, off-by-ones, unhandled edge cases
+   - **Type safety**: int16 overflow, float/double promotion, unsigned subtraction, use `uint64_t` for absolute time
+   - **Initialization**: uninitialized variables, missing default construction
+   - **Buffer safety**: unchecked array access, stack allocation of large buffers, snprintf bounds
+   - **Magic numbers**: every numeric literal needs a named constant or justification
+   - **Framework reuse**: use PX4_ERR/WARN/INFO, existing libraries (AlphaFilter, SlewRate, RateControl), MAVLink constants from the library
+   - **Naming**: accurate, no unjustified abbreviations, current terminology (GPS -> GNSS for new code)
+   - **Unnecessary complexity**: can code be removed instead of added? Is there a simpler pattern?
+   - **Test coverage**: new features should include unit or integration tests; bug fixes should include regression tests where practical. When automated testing is infeasible (hardware-specific), require a flight log link from https://logs.px4.io or bench test evidence.
+   - **PR hygiene**: focused scope, no unrelated formatting, no stale submodule changes. Commits should be atomic and independently revertable. Multiple WIP or review-response commits should be squashed. Clean, logical commits will be preserved individually on main via rebase merge. **Do NOT assume PRs are squash-merged. Both squash and rebase merge are enabled; merge commits are disabled.** Verify the PR targets `main` unless it is a backport or release-specific fix.
+   - **Formatting**: `make format` / `make check_format` (astyle) for C/C++ files; `clang-tidy` clean. Python files checked with `mypy` and `flake8`. PRs failing CI format or lint checks will not be merged.
+   - **Coding style**: C/C++ must follow the [PX4 coding style](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/contribute/code.html)
+   - **Necessity**: challenge every addition with "Why?" Is this actually needed or just copied? Can we change a default instead of adding runtime detection?
+   - **Root cause vs symptom**: is this fixing the real problem or masking it?
+   - **Ecosystem impact**: what does this change mean for QGC users, log analysis tools, and third-party integrations?
+   - **Sustainability**: who will maintain this? Does it create long-term burden?
+   - **Architecture fit**: does the code live in the module that naturally owns the data? Are there unnecessary cross-module dependencies?
+   - **End user impact**: will parameters confuse less-technical users? Are error messages actionable in QGC?
+
+7. **Apply domain checks** based on step 5:
+
+   **Estimation:**
+   - Singularities in aerospace math (euler angles near gimbal lock, sideslip at low airspeed)
+   - Aliasing from downsampling sensor data without filtering
+   - Kalman filter correctness (Joseph form, innovation variance, covariance symmetry)
+   - CPU cost on embedded targets (avoid unnecessary sqrt, limit fusion rate)
+   - Frame/coordinate system correctness (FRD vs NED, body vs earth)
+
+   **Control:**
+   - Phase margin: output filters consume margin for no benefit; prefer adjusting gyro/d-gyro cutoffs
+   - Circular dependencies: sensor data feeding back into its own control loop (e.g., throttle-based airspeed in TECS)
+   - NaN propagation in flight-critical math; check `PX4_ISFINITE` before magnitude checks
+   - Setpoint generation vs output-stage hacks: prefer proper setpoint smoothing over controller output filtering
+   - Yaw control edge cases: heading lock, drift, setpoint propagation
+   - Flight task inheritance chain: correct base class for the desired behavior
+   - Control allocation: actuator function ordering, motor index mapping
+
+   **Drivers/CAN:**
+   - CAN bus devices behave differently from serial/SPI; check driver assumptions
+   - ESC index mapping: telemetry index != channel when motors are disabled
+   - ESC hardware quirks: 4-in-1 ESCs may report current on only one channel
+   - device_id correctness and I2CSPIDriver patterns
+   - Time representation: prefer `hrt_abstime` over iteration counts
+
+   **Simulation:**
+   - Physics fidelity: noise models should match reality (GPS noise is not Gaussian)
+   - Keep gz_bridge generic; vehicle-specific logic belongs in plugins
+   - Prefer gz-transport over ROS2 dependencies when possible
+   - Wrench commands for physics correctness vs kinematic constraints
+   - Library generic/specific boundary: only base classes in common libs
+
+   **System:**
+   - Race conditions and concurrency: no partial fixes, demand complete solutions
+   - Semaphore/scheduling edge cases; understand RTOS guarantees
+   - State machine sequential-logic bugs (consecutive RTL, armed/disarmed alternation)
+   - uORB-driven scheduling (`SubscriptionCallback`), not extra threads
+   - param_set triggers auto-save; no redundant param_save_default
+   - Flash/memory efficiency: avoid `std::string` on embedded, minimize SubscriptionData usage
+   - Constructor initialization order matters
+
+   **CI/Build:**
+   - Pipeline race conditions (tag + branch push double-trigger, git describe correctness)
+   - Container image size (check layer bloat)
+   - Ubuntu LTS support policy (latest + one prior only)
+   - Build time impact
+   - CMake preferred over Makefiles
+
+   **Messages/Protocol:**
+   - Backwards compatibility: will this break QGC, post-flight tools, or uLog parsers?
+   - uORB: `timestamp` for publication metadata, `timestamp_sample` close to physical sample, include `device_id`
+   - Don't version messages unless strictly needed
+   - Parameter UX: will this confuse users in a GCS? Every new param is a configuration burden
+   - MAVLink: use library constants, don't implement custom stream rates
+
+   **Board Addition:**
+   - **Flight logs**: require a link to https://logs.px4.io demonstrating basic operation for the vehicle type (hover for multicopters, stable flight for fixed-wing, driving for rovers, etc.); short bench-only logs are insufficient
+   - **Documentation**: require a docs page in `docs/en/flight_controller/` with pinout, where-to-buy, connector types, version badge, and manufacturer-supported notice block
+   - **USB VID/PID**: must not reuse another manufacturer's Vendor ID; manufacturer must use their own
+   - **Board naming**: directory is `boards/{manufacturer}/{board}/`, both lowercase, hyphens for board name
+   - **Unique board_id**: registered in `boards/boards.json`, no collisions
+   - **Copied code cleanup**: check for leftover files, configs, or comments from the template board; "Is this real or leftover?"
+   - **RC configuration**: prefer `CONFIG_DRIVERS_COMMON_RC` over legacy `CONFIG_DRIVERS_RC_INPUT`
+   - **No board-specific custom modules**: reject copy-pasted drivers (e.g., custom heater) when existing infrastructure works
+   - **Bootloader**: expect a bootloader defconfig (`nuttx-config/bootloader/defconfig`) or explanation of shared bootloader
+   - **CI integration**: board must be added to CI compile workflows so it builds on every PR
+   - **Flash constraints**: verify enabled modules fit in flash; we are running low across all board targets
+   - **Port labels**: serial port labels must match what is physically printed on the board
+   - **Hardware availability**: for unknown manufacturers, verify the product exists and is purchasable (no vaporware)
+
+8. **Format output** as:
+   - **CI status**: pass/fail summary, link to failed runs if any
+   - **Merge strategy**: recommend squash or rebase merge with reasoning
+   - **Title check**: pass/fail with suggestion
+   - **Review status**: list assigned reviewers and any existing reviews (who approved, who requested changes, key points already raised). Note if your review would duplicate feedback already given.
+   - **Domains detected**: list which domain checks were applied
+   - **Summary**: one paragraph on what the PR does and whether the approach is sound
+   - **Issues**: numbered list, each with file:line, severity (blocker/warning/nit), and explanation. Skip issues already raised by other reviewers unless you have something to add.
+   - **Verdict**: approve, request changes, or needs discussion
+
+   After the structured output, also display a **draft PR comment** formatted using the PR comment formatting rules from step 9. This gives the user a preview of what would be posted.
+
+9. **Interactive dialog.** After displaying the review, present the user with these options:
+
+   Present options based on the verdict:
+
+   If verdict is **approve**:
+   ```
+   What would you like to do?
+   1. Chat about this PR (ask questions, explore code) [default]
+   2. Approve this PR and post the review comment
+   3. Adjust the review or draft (tell me what to change)
+   4. Done for now
+   ```
+
+   If verdict is **request changes**:
+   ```
+   What would you like to do?
+   1. Chat about this PR (ask questions, explore code) [default]
+   2. Request changes on this PR and post the review comment
+   3. Adjust the review or draft (tell me what to change)
+   4. Done for now
+   ```
+
+   If verdict is **needs discussion**:
+   ```
+   What would you like to do?
+   1. Chat about this PR (ask questions, explore code) [default]
+   2. Post the review as a comment (no approval or rejection)
+   3. Adjust the review or draft (tell me what to change)
+   4. Done for now
+   ```
+
+   Wait for the user to choose before proceeding. If they pick:
+   - **1 (chat)**: enter a free-form conversation about the PR. The user can ask about specific files, code paths, or decisions. When done, loop back to the options. This is the default if the user just presses enter.
+   - **2 (submit)**: use the draft PR comment already shown. Before posting, check if you have review permissions: run `gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/collaborators/$(gh api user --jq .login)/permission --jq .permission` -- if `admin` or `write`, submit as a formal review with `gh pr review <PR> --approve --body "..."` or `gh pr review <PR> --request-changes --body "..."` based on the verdict. If no write access, fall back to `gh pr comment <PR> --body "..."`. Always confirm with the user before posting.
+   - **3 (adjust)**: ask what to change, update the review and draft, then loop back to the options.
+   - **4 (done)**: stop.
+
+   **PR comment formatting rules** (for the draft):
+   When writing the GitHub comment, rewrite the review to sound like a human reviewer, not a structured report. Do NOT include the full skill output. Instead:
+   - Drop most meta-sections (CI status, title check, domains detected, severity labels) but keep the merge strategy recommendation (e.g., "I'd suggest a rebase merge here since the commits are clean and atomic" or "This should be squash-merged, the commit history is messy")
+   - Write conversationally: "Nice work on this. A few things I noticed:" not "Issues: 1. file:line (warning):"
+   - Lead with a brief take on the overall change (1-2 sentences)
+   - List only actionable feedback as natural review comments, not numbered checklists
+   - Skip nits unless they are particularly useful
+   - End with a clear stance: looks good to merge, needs a few changes, or let's discuss X
+   - Post with `gh pr comment <PR> --body "$(cat <<'EOF' ... EOF)"`. Do not post without explicit confirmation.
+

+# Board Addition Review Guidelines
+
+In addition to the core code review guidelines, when reviewing new board additions:
+
+- **Flight logs**: require a link to https://logs.px4.io demonstrating basic operation for the vehicle type (hover for multicopters, stable flight for fixed-wing, driving for rovers, etc.); short bench-only logs are insufficient
+- **Documentation**: require a docs page in `docs/en/flight_controller/` with pinout, where-to-buy, connector types, version badge, and manufacturer-supported notice block
+- **USB VID/PID**: must not reuse another manufacturer's Vendor ID; manufacturer must use their own
+- **Board naming**: directory is `boards/{manufacturer}/{board}/`, both lowercase, hyphens for board name
+- **Unique board_id**: registered in `boards/boards.json`, no collisions
+- **Copied code cleanup**: check for leftover files, configs, or comments from the template board. Ask "Is this real or leftover?"
+- **RC configuration**: prefer `CONFIG_DRIVERS_COMMON_RC` over legacy `CONFIG_DRIVERS_RC_INPUT`
+- **No board-specific custom modules**: reject copy-pasted drivers (e.g., custom heater) when existing infrastructure works
+- **Bootloader**: expect a bootloader defconfig (`nuttx-config/bootloader/defconfig`) or explanation of shared bootloader
+- **CI integration**: board must be added to CI compile workflows so it builds on every PR
+- **Flash constraints**: verify enabled modules fit in flash; we are running low across all board targets
+- **Port labels**: serial port labels must match what is physically printed on the board
+- **Hardware availability**: for unknown manufacturers, verify the product exists and is purchasable (no vaporware)

+# PX4 Code Review Guidelines
+
+## Conventions
+
+- PR titles must follow conventional commits: `type(scope): description` (see CONTRIBUTING.md)
+- Types: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `style`, `refactor`, `perf`, `test`, `build`, `ci`, `chore`, `revert`
+- Scope should match the primary area of changed files
+- Append `!` before the colon for breaking changes
+- Both squash merge and rebase merge are enabled; merge commits are disabled
+- Commits should be atomic and independently revertable
+- WIP or review-response commits should be squashed before merge
+
+## Core Checks (always apply)
+
+- **Correctness**: logic errors, off-by-ones, unhandled edge cases
+- **Type safety**: int16 overflow, float/double promotion, unsigned subtraction, use `uint64_t` for absolute time
+- **Initialization**: uninitialized variables, missing default construction
+- **Buffer safety**: unchecked array access, stack allocation of large buffers, snprintf bounds
+- **Magic numbers**: every numeric literal needs a named constant or justification
+- **Framework reuse**: use PX4_ERR/WARN/INFO, existing libraries (AlphaFilter, SlewRate, RateControl), MAVLink constants from the library
+- **Naming**: accurate, no unjustified abbreviations, current terminology (GPS -> GNSS for new code)
+- **Unnecessary complexity**: can code be removed instead of added? Is there a simpler pattern?
+- **Test coverage**: new features should include unit or integration tests; bug fixes should include regression tests where practical
+- **Formatting**: `make format` / `make check_format` (astyle) for C/C++ files; `clang-tidy` clean
+- **Coding style**: C/C++ must follow the PX4 coding style (https://docs.px4.io/main/en/contribute/code.html)
+- **Necessity**: challenge every addition. Is this actually needed or just copied?
+- **Architecture fit**: does the code live in the module that naturally owns the data? No unnecessary cross-module dependencies
+- **Ecosystem impact**: consider QGC users, log analysis tools, and third-party integrations

+# Control Review Guidelines
+
+In addition to the core code review guidelines:
+
+- Phase margin: output filters consume margin for no benefit; prefer adjusting gyro/d-gyro cutoffs
+- Check for circular dependencies: sensor data feeding back into its own control loop (e.g., throttle-based airspeed in TECS)
+- NaN propagation in flight-critical math; check `PX4_ISFINITE` before magnitude checks
+- Prefer proper setpoint smoothing over controller output filtering (setpoint generation vs output-stage hacks)
+- Check yaw control edge cases: heading lock, drift, setpoint propagation
+- Verify flight task inheritance chain uses the correct base class for desired behavior
+- Control allocation: verify actuator function ordering and motor index mapping

+name: PR Comment Poster
+
+# Generic PR comment poster. Any analysis workflow (clang-tidy, flash_analysis,
+# fuzz coverage, SITL perf, etc.) can produce a `pr-comment` artifact and this
+# workflow will post or update a sticky PR comment with its contents. Designed
+# so that analysis jobs running on untrusted fork PRs can still get their
+# results posted back to the PR.
+#
+# ==============================================================================
+# SECURITY INVARIANTS
+# ==============================================================================
+# This workflow runs on `workflow_run` which means it runs in the BASE REPO
+# context with a WRITE token, even when the triggering PR comes from a fork.
+# That is the entire reason it exists, and also the reason it is a loaded
+# footgun. Anyone modifying this file MUST preserve the following invariants:
+#
+#   1. NEVER check out PR code. No `actions/checkout` with a ref. No git clone
+#      of a fork branch. No execution of scripts from the downloaded artifact.
+#      The ONLY things read from the artifact are `manifest.json` and `body.md`,
+#      and both are treated as opaque data (JSON parsed by the poster script
+#      and markdown posted verbatim via the GitHub API).
+#
+#   2. `pr_number` is validated to be a positive integer before use.
+#      `marker` is validated to be printable ASCII only before use. Validation
+#      happens inside Tools/ci/pr-comment-poster.py which is checked out from
+#      the base branch, not from the artifact.
+#
+#   3. The comment body is passed to the GitHub API as a JSON field, never
+#      interpolated into a shell command string.
+#
+#   4. This workflow file lives on the default branch. `workflow_run` only
+#      loads workflow files from the default branch, so a fork cannot modify
+#      THIS file as part of a PR. The fork CAN cause this workflow to fire
+#      by triggering a producer workflow that uploads a `pr-comment` artifact.
+#      That is intended.
+#
+#   5. The artifact-name filter (`pr-comment`) is the only gate on which
+#      workflow runs get processed. Any workflow in this repo that uploads
+#      an artifact named `pr-comment` is trusted to have written the
+#      manifest and body itself, NOT copied fork-controlled content into
+#      them. Producer workflows are responsible for that.
+#
+#   6. `actions/checkout@v6` below uses NO ref (so it pulls the base branch,
+#      the default-branch commit this workflow file was loaded from) AND uses
+#      sparse-checkout to materialize ONLY Tools/ci/pr-comment-poster.py and
+#      its stdlib-only helper module Tools/ci/_github_helpers.py. The rest of
+#      the repo never touches the workspace. This is safe: the only files the
+#      job executes are base-repo Python scripts that were reviewed through
+#      normal code review, never anything from the PR.

-### Commit your changes
+### Coding standards
 
-Always write descriptive commit messages and add a fixes or relates note to them with an [issue number](https://github.com/px4/Firmware/issues) (Github will link these then conveniently)
+All C/C++ code must follow the [PX4 coding style](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/contribute/code.html). Formatting is enforced by [astyle](http://astyle.sourceforge.net/) in CI (`make check_format`). Code quality checks run via [clang-tidy](https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/). Pull requests that fail either check will not be merged.
 
-**Example:**
+Python code is checked with [mypy](https://mypy-lang.org/) and [flake8](https://flake8.pycqa.org/).
+
+## Commit message convention
+
+PX4 uses [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) for all commit messages and PR titles.
+
+### Format
 
 ```
-Change how the attitude controller works
-
-- Fixes rate feed forward
-- Allows a local body rate override
-
-Fixes issue #123
+type(scope): short description of the change
 ```
 
-### Test your changes
+| Part | Rule |
+|------|------|
+| **type** | Category of change (see types table below) |
+| **scope** | The module, driver, board, or area of PX4 affected |
+| **`!`** (optional) | Append before `:` to mark a breaking change |
+| **description** | What the change does, at least 5 characters, written in imperative form |
 
-Since we care about safety, we will regularly ask you for test results. Best is to do a test flight (or bench test where it applies) and upload the logfile from it (on the microSD card in the logs directory) to Google Drive or Dropbox and share the link.
+### Types
 
-### Push your changes
+| Type | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `feat` | A new feature |
+| `fix` | A bug fix |
+| `docs` | Documentation only changes |
+| `style` | Formatting, whitespace, no code change |
+| `refactor` | Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature |
+| `perf` | Performance improvement |
+| `test` | Adding or correcting tests |
+| `build` | Build system or external dependencies |
+| `ci` | CI configuration files and scripts |
+| `chore` | Other changes that don't modify src or test files |
+| `revert` | Reverts a previous commit |
 
-Push changes to your repo and send a [pull request](https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/compare/).
+### Scopes
+
+The scope identifies which part of PX4 is affected. Common scopes:
+
+| Scope | Area |
+|-------|------|
+| `ekf2` | Extended Kalman Filter (state estimation) |
+| `mavlink` | MAVLink messaging protocol |
+| `commander` | Commander and mode management |
+| `navigator` | Mission, RTL, Land, and other navigation modes |
+| `sensors` | Sensor drivers and processing |
+| `drivers` | Hardware drivers |
+| `boards/px4_fmu-v6x` | Board-specific changes (use the board name) |
+| `mc_att_control` | Multicopter attitude control |
+| `mc_pos_control` | Multicopter position control |
+| `fw_att_control` | Fixed-wing attitude control |
+| `vtol` | VTOL-specific logic |
+| `actuators` | Mixer and actuator output |
+| `battery` | Battery monitoring and estimation |
+| `logger` | On-board logging |
+| `param` | Parameter system |
+| `simulation` | SITL, Gazebo, SIH |
+| `ci` | Continuous integration and workflows |
+| `docs` | Documentation |
+| `build` | CMake, toolchain, build system |
+| `uorb` | Inter-module messaging |
+
+For changes spanning multiple subsystems, use the primary one affected. Look at the directory path of the files you changed to find the right scope: `src/modules/ekf2/` uses `ekf2`, `src/drivers/imu/` uses `drivers/imu`, `.github/workflows/` uses `ci`.
+
+### Breaking changes
+
+Append `!` before the colon to indicate a breaking change:
+
+```
+feat(ekf2)!: remove deprecated height fusion API
+```
+
+### Good commit messages
+
+```
+feat(ekf2): add height fusion timeout
+fix(mavlink): correct BATTERY_STATUS_V2 parsing
+refactor(navigator): simplify RTL altitude logic
+ci(workflows): migrate to reusable workflows
+docs(ekf2): update tuning guide
+feat(boards/px4_fmu-v6x)!: remove deprecated driver API
+perf(mc_rate_control): reduce loop latency
+```
+
+### Commits to avoid
+
+These will be flagged by CI and should be squashed or reworded before merging:
+
+```
+fix                                    # too vague, no type or scope
+update                                 # too vague, no type or scope
+ekf2: fix something                   # missing type prefix
+apply suggestions from code review     # squash into parent commit
+do make format                         # squash into parent commit
+WIP: trying something                  # not ready for main
+oops                                   # not descriptive
+```
+
+### PR titles
+
+The PR title follows the same `type(scope): description` format. This is enforced by CI and is especially important because the PR title becomes the commit message when a PR is squash-merged.
+
+### Merge policy
+
+Commits should be atomic and independently revertable. Squash at reviewer discretion for obvious cases (multiple WIP commits, messy review-response history). When your commits are clean and logical, they will be preserved as individual commits on `main`.
+
+### Cleaning up commits
+
+If CI flags your commit messages, you can fix them with an interactive rebase:
+
+```bash
+# Squash all commits into one:
+git rebase -i HEAD~N   # replace N with the number of commits
+# mark all commits except the first as 'squash' or 'fixup'
+# reword the remaining commit to follow the format
+git push --force-with-lease
+
+# Or reword specific commits:
+git rebase -i HEAD~N
+# mark the bad commits as 'reword'
+git push --force-with-lease
+```
+
+## Test your changes
+
+PX4 is safety-critical software. All contributions must include adequate testing where practical:
+
+- **New features** must include unit tests and/or integration tests that exercise the new functionality, where practical. Hardware-dependent changes that cannot be tested in SITL should include bench test or flight test evidence.
+- **Bug fixes** must include a regression test where practical. When automated testing is not feasible (hardware-specific issues, race conditions, etc.), provide a link to a flight log demonstrating the fix and the reproduction steps for the original bug.
+- **Reviewers** will verify that tests or test evidence exist before approving a pull request.
+
+### Types of tests
+
+| Test type | When to use | How to run |
+|-----------|-------------|------------|
+| **Unit tests** (gtest) | Module-level logic, math, parsing | `make tests` |
+| **SITL integration tests** (MAVSDK) | Flight behavior, failsafes, missions | `test/mavsdk_tests/` |
+| **Bench tests / flight logs** | Hardware-dependent changes | Upload logs to [Flight Review](https://logs.px4.io) |
+
+Since we care about safety, we will regularly ask you for test results. Best is to do a test flight (or bench test where it applies) and upload the log file from it (on the microSD card in the logs directory) to Google Drive or Dropbox and share the link.
+
+## Push your changes
+
+Push changes to your repo and send a [pull request](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/compare/).
 
 Make sure to provide some testing feedback and if possible the link to a flight log file. Upload flight log files to [Flight Review](http://logs.px4.io) and link the resulting report.

 ## Reporting a Vulnerability
 
-We currently only receive security vulnerability reports through GitHub.
+We receive security vulnerability reports through GitHub Security Advisories.
 
-To begin a report, please go to the top-level repository, for example, PX4/PX4-Autopilot,
-and click on the Security tab. If you are on mobile, click the ... dropdown menu, and then click Security.
+To begin a report, go to the [PX4/PX4-Autopilot](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot) repository
+and click on the **Security** tab. If you are on mobile, click the **...** dropdown menu, then click **Security**.
 
-Click Report a Vulnerability to open the advisory form. Fill in the advisory details form.

+
+## Secure Development Practices
+
+The PX4 development team applies the following practices to reduce security risk:
+
+- **Code review**: All changes require peer review before merging.
+- **Static analysis**: [clang-tidy](https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/) runs on every pull request with warnings treated as errors.
+- **Fuzzing**: A daily fuzzing pipeline using [Google fuzztest](https://github.com/google/fuzztest) tests MAVLink message handling and GNSS driver protocol parsing.
+- **Input validation**: All external inputs (MAVLink messages, RC signals, sensor data) are validated against expected ranges before use.
+- **Compiler hardening**: Builds use `-Wall -Werror`, stack protectors, and other hardening flags where supported by the target platform.

+# Adaptation notes:
+#   - The HTTP layer is rewritten on top of Tools/ci/_github_helpers.py so
+#     this script does not depend on the third-party `requests` package.

+#   - Clang-Tidy 8 upconvert is preserved verbatim.

+# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Bounded assumptions (documented for future maintainers):
+#   - Source files are UTF-8 (we read them as latin_1, matching clang-tidy's

+#   - Source files use LF line endings
+#   - Malformed entries in fixes.yml are skipped with a warning rather than
