Solved Problem
I found that when instance start is set in an actuator output yaml to something besides 1 then the parameters don't match the expected from mixer_module.cpp. I submitted an issue here
Fixes #23615
Solution
Changelog Entry
For release notes:
Alternatives
We could also remove the functionality that is already available in the metadata generator, but that seems silly as this is only adding consts that shouldn't affect size or speed.
Test coverage
