Use whenever the user mentions Betaflight, FPV drone firmware, flight-controller config, PID/filter/rates tuning, or blackbox log analysis — or shares a Betaflight artifact: a CLI diff/dump (lines like 'diff all', 'set ', 'feature ', 'resource ') or a .bbl/.bfl blackbox log, even when not named as such — or runs a chirp tuning session via Sweep Studio / FPVLogForge (a chirp log ID to analyse, 'analyse log', 'résultat chirp', iterative Bode/step/Ms tuning). Covers flight symptoms (oscillations, wobble, propwash, jello, hot motors, drift), motor/ESC and RX/ELRS/CRSF setup, builds from 3" to 10"
