Correct: A, B, C, E
Critical: inf values make min() return a finite value only when ALL readings are finite, but inf readings should indicate open space — a NaN reading makes min() return NaN which fails the comparison silently. Best-effort QoS can drop the stop command under load. Publishing one Twist() then silence means the velocity controller may resume.
