# `BB.Supervisor`
[🔗](https://github.com/beam-bots/bb/blob/main/lib/bb/supervisor.ex#L5)

Root supervisor for a BB robot.

Builds a supervision tree that mirrors the robot topology for fault isolation.
A crash in an actuator at the end of a limb only affects that limb's subtree.

## Supervision Tree Structure

```
BB.Supervisor (root, :one_for_one)
├── Registry (named {MyRobot, :registry})
├── PubSub Registry (named {MyRobot, :pubsub})
├── Task.Supervisor (for general async tasks)
├── DynamicSupervisor (for command GenServers, temporary restart)
├── Runtime (robot state, state machine, command execution)
├── BB.SensorSupervisor (:one_for_one)
│   └── RobotSensor1, RobotSensor2...
├── BB.ControllerSupervisor (:one_for_one)
│   └── Controller1, Controller2...
├── BB.BridgeSupervisor (:one_for_one)
│   └── MavlinkBridge, PhoenixBridge...
└── BB.LinkSupervisor(:base_link, :one_for_one)
    ├── LinkSensor (link sensors)
    └── BB.JointSupervisor(:shoulder, :one_for_one)
        ├── JointSensor
        ├── JointActuator
        └── BB.LinkSupervisor(:arm, :one_for_one)
            └── ...
```

Each subsystem supervisor (sensors, controllers, bridges) has its own restart
budget, so a flapping process in one won't exhaust the root supervisor's
budget and bring down the entire robot.

# `start_link`

```elixir
@spec start_link(module(), Keyword.t()) :: Supervisor.on_start()
```

Starts the supervisor tree for a robot module.

## Options

  * `:params` - Initial parameter values as a nested keyword list matching
    the parameter group structure. Overrides DSL defaults and persisted values.

        BB.Supervisor.start_link(MyRobot, params: [
          motion: [max_speed: 5.0, acceleration: 2.0],
          debug_mode: true
        ])

  * `:simulation` - Simulation mode (`:kinematic` or `:external`). When set,
    actuators are replaced with simulated versions and controllers may be
    omitted.

All options are also passed through to sensor, actuator, and controller
child processes via the `:bb` key in their start options.
