**Why this matters:**
Modifying PG struct fields without incrementing the version can cause settings corruption when users flash new firmware. The \`pgLoad()\` function validates versions and will use defaults if there's a mismatch, preventing corruption.
**When to increment the version:**
- ✅ Adding/removing fields
- ✅ Changing field types or sizes
- ✅ Reordering fields
- ✅ Adding/removing packing attributes
- ❌ Only changing default values in \`PG_RESET_TEMPLATE\`
- ❌ Only changing comments
**Reference:**
- [Parameter Group Documentation](../docs/development/parameter_groups/)
- Example: [PR #11236](https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav/pull/11236) (field removal requiring version increment)
