So currently I have filament spools in the {2,3,4} channels, having the first one empty. The channel 1 is detected as PLA on the bridge even though it is empty. This will cause the printer to throw the following error:

Channel 1 filament runout 
CODE:11855

Fixed in v0.9.1-beta15.

Root cause: The bridge included all AMS channels in the print mapping at start — even empty ones. The printer then tried to pull filament from an empty channel and aborted with Channel 1 filament runout – CODE:11855.

Fix: Empty slots are now detected via the status field (status=4 = empty, status=5 = loaded) and skipped when building the print mapping. Only loaded channels are passed to the printer.

Bonus: Empty slots are now displayed grayed out in the UI.

Update available: v0.9.1-beta15

The printer then tried to pull filament from an empty channel and aborted with `Channel 1 filament runout – CODE:11855`. **Fix:** Empty slots are now detected via the `status` field (`status=4` = empty, `status=5` = loaded) and skipped when building the print mapping. Only loaded channels are passed to the printer. Bonus: Empty slots are now displayed grayed out in the UI.
