This repo adapts the proven yahboom-mcp stack for Bumi:

• rosbridge in Docker (same fix pattern: disable host rosbridge, use container)
• Mission executor from yahboom-mcp — subscribes /boomy/mission, executes autonomous behaviors
• Vision detection — SSD MobileNet v2 COCO (same bridge, Bumi's camera input)
• Coffee shop demo — Tailscale WiFi client mode for remote control
• Ollama on device for LLM-based mission planning (Gemma3:1b or larger on Orin)
