Conversation
Add a minimal robotics demo image template (Ubuntu 24.04 + ROS2 Jazzy) optimized for running visual demos in a QEMU VM with X11 forwarding. Includes: - ROS2 Jazzy core with CycloneDDS middleware - Turtlesim, rqt_graph, rqt_plot, demo_nodes for visual demos - xauth + x11-apps for SSH X11 GUI forwarding - SSH AddressFamily inet fix for QEMU IPv6 socket issue - IPv6 disabled via sysctl for VM environments - Pre-configured robot user with sudo access - AI-searchable metadata for template discovery - Complete VM setup and demo steps in header comments

Pull request overview
Adds a new Ubuntu 24.04 + ROS2 Jazzy image template intended for running visual ROS2 demos (turtlesim + rqt tooling) inside a QEMU VM with SSH/X11 forwarding, and includes AI-searchable metadata to support template discovery.
Changes:
- Introduces
robotics-demo-ubuntu24-x86_64.ymltemplate with ROS2 Jazzy + CycloneDDS and common demo/visualization packages. - Adds QEMU/SSH/X11 demo instructions in the template header and configures SSH + IPv6 behavior for VM reliability.
- Defines disk layout/artifact output and metadata fields used by the internal template indexer.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
- Remove -t flag from build command (positional argument) - Use sshd drop-in file instead of appending to main config - Use generic <user> in SSH connect example (no users section)

Description
Add a minimal robotics demo image template (
robotics-demo-ubuntu24-x86_64.yml) for Ubuntu 24.04 + ROS2 Jazzy, optimized for running visual demos in a QEMU VM with X11 forwarding over SSH.What it includes:
AddressFamily inet(IPv6 socket allocation fails in QEMU)Note: Need to edit template to add pre-configured user with sudo access
Demo steps (documented in template header):
This is the first of a series of robotics templates (AMR, edge, vision, embodied) for the Robotics AI Suite team.
Any Newly Introduced Dependencies
No new 3rd party dependencies to the project. The template references existing Ubuntu and ROS2 Jazzy apt packages.
