Prerequisite Checkpoint: Inspect One Node Deeply
A list proves presence. ros2 node info reveals relationships.
Inspect one supplied or local node and record:
- publishers;
- subscribers;
- services;
- action relationships if present;
- the exact node name used for inspection.
Bridge question
Which relationships are runtime evidence, and which higher-level conclusions are still assumptions?
For example, seeing a publisher relationship to /scan does not prove the messages are physically accurate or that a Java application consumes them.
Produce a short Node Relationship Record with:
observed relationship:
what it proves:
what it does not prove:
next evidence needed:
Do not turn this into a full ROS graph lesson. If node info is new, reactivate the ROS prerequisite first.
