The prepare-pick trigger deadlocks the supervisor

Make /prepare_pick return by letting the supervisor process the /reset_gripper response while its trigger callback is blocked, without switching to call_async.

Pairs with Executors and callback timing in ROS 2 Systems Debugging. Read the concept first, then diagnose it here.

Operator report

/prepare_pick is advertised, but calling it never returns; the supervisor hangs with no error.

How this lab works

You diagnose it. No command list.

Open the repair workspace and gather your own evidence in a real terminal. No diagnostic commands are handed to you - finding the fault is the exercise. Stuck? Progressive hints unlock inside the workspace.
