/**
* Persistent alert to be sent via NetworkTables. Alerts are tagged with a type of {@code kError},
* {@code kWarning}, or {@code kInfo} to denote urgency. See {@link
* edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Alert.AlertType AlertType} for suggested usage of each type. Alerts can be
* displayed on supported dashboards, and are shown in a priority order based on type and recency of
* activation, with newly activated alerts first.
*
*
Alerts should be created once and stored persistently, then updated to "active" or "inactive"
* as necessary. {@link #set(boolean)} can be safely called periodically.
*
*
This API is new for 2025, but is likely to change in future seasons to facilitate deeper
* integration with the robot control system.

* Alert alert = new Alert("Something went wrong", AlertType.kWarning);
