Monthly summary for 2025-10 focusing on key accomplishments, business impact, and technical growth for Avis-Drone-Labs/FGCS. In this period, we delivered a UI quality improvement by clarifying the dashboard display when only a single battery is present, preventing confusion and guiding future multi-battery support. This required a small conditional rendering refactor and formatting adjustments to ensure consistent presentation across devices.
