[niclassvardal-boop]

Description of task

• Visually alert the operator of critical errors
• Provide a one-click “Surface” command
• Optionally include a “Kill Switch” for immediate shutdown

Suggested Workflow

• Talk to the other groups about sensor data (leak detection and error handling)

• Create QMessageBox or custom modal for error display
  - A modal is a type of pop-up window that appears on top of your main GUI and temporarily blocks interaction with the rest of the interface until the user responds. It’s often used for alerts, confirmations, or critical actions

• Add QPushButton for “Surface” with signal-slot to ROS or backend

• Implement optional “Kill Switch” with double-confirmation dialog

• Log all emergency actions to GUI log panel
