Reviewer's GuideRefactors the global Alerter component from a single snackbar to a stack of dismissible alerts, introduces queueing and eviction logic for up to five concurrent messages, and wires parameter updates to emit dev‑mode notifications once all parameters are loaded, including minimal support in the parameter table and message manager.

Hey - I've found 2 issues, and left some high level feedback:
- The Alerter component relies on module-scoped
nextId,boundCallback, anddrainTimer, which can cause interference or incorrect cleanup if multiple instances are ever mounted; consider moving these into component instance state (data/created) so each instance manages its own subscription and timers. - In
Alerter.showAlert, thesetTimeoutcallbacks are never cleared when an alert is dismissed or the component is destroyed, so timeouts may fire after the component is gone; it would be safer to track these timers per-alert and clear them ondismiss/beforeDestroy.

## Overall Comments
- The Alerter component relies on module-scoped `nextId`, `boundCallback`, and `drainTimer`, which can cause interference or incorrect cleanup if multiple instances are ever mounted; consider moving these into component instance state (`data`/`created`) so each instance manages its own subscription and timers.
- In `Alerter.showAlert`, the `setTimeout` callbacks are never cleared when an alert is dismissed or the component is destroyed, so timeouts may fire after the component is gone; it would be safer to track these timers per-alert and clear them on `dismiss`/`beforeDestroy`.

**issue (bug_risk):** Using module-level state for the callback and timer will behave incorrectly if multiple Alerter instances are mounted.
Because `boundCallback` and `drainTimer` are module-scoped, all `Alerter` instances share them. The last-mounted instance overwrites `boundCallback`, so when an earlier instance is destroyed its `beforeDestroy` calls `removeCallback` with the wrong reference. That instance’s callback remains registered, causing leaks and messages targeting a destroyed component.
Store these on the instance instead (e.g. `this.boundCallback`, `this.drainTimer`) so each component registers and cleans up its own callback and timer correctly.

<issue_to_address>
**suggestion (bug_risk):** Queue drain logic can stall permanently when all visible alerts have no timeout.
In `startDrain`, eviction only targets alerts with `getTimeout(level) > 0`. If the visible `alerts` are all non-expiring (e.g. `Error`/`Critical`) and new alerts keep arriving, `evictIdx` stays `-1`, the timer runs indefinitely, the queue grows, and queued alerts never surface.
You may want a fallback (e.g. evict the oldest when the queue is non-empty, even if timeouts are 0), or clearly document that starving queued alerts in this scenario is intentional behavior.
```suggestion
startDrain() {
if (drainTimer) return
drainTimer = setInterval(() => {
const evictIdx = this.alerts.findIndex((a) => this.getTimeout(a.level) > 0)
if (evictIdx !== -1) {
// Prefer to evict alerts that have a timeout configured
this.dismiss(this.alerts[evictIdx].id)
} else if (this.queue.length > 0 && this.alerts.length > 0) {
// Fallback: ensure the queue continues to drain even if all visible alerts are non-expiring
// Evict the oldest visible alert to make room for queued ones
this.dismiss(this.alerts[0].id)
}
}, DRAIN_INTERVAL_MS)
},
```

This pull request should be broken in multiple commits, there are a couple of refactorings in the middle of the new feature.

why not having it inside data ?

Why critical moved to error ?

why not using find and use the object directly ?

I'm not following the logic here, dismiss removes the alert but it's not taking in consideration the timeout at all, so all notifications will only show for a second. Is that correct ?
Components that register a callback can now unregister it when they are destroyed.
…ue from updateParam Return the previous value when the update actually changes the parameter, null otherwise, so callers can react to real changes.
…sLoaded helper Move the all-parameters-loaded check out of requestParamsWatchdog so it can be reused.
Render up to 5 dismissible v-alerts at once, with per-level auto-dismiss timers. Extra alerts are queued and shown as room frees up; persistent alerts (error/critical) are kept when evicting to stay within the cap.
… changes in developer mode Emit an info-level message when a MAVLink parameter value changes after the initial load is complete, only in developer mode.
