Contributions summary:Maximilian focused on improving the robustness and error handling of the `gnuradio/gnuradio` repository, particularly within the digital signal processing components. They addressed a critical issue in the OFDM carrier allocator, replacing potential `SIGFPE` errors with more informative `std::invalid_argument` exceptions, enhancing stability and user experience. Further improvements were made to documentation for greater clarity regarding QPSK and FFT blocks. Additionally, the user added a file taps loader block to allow loading filter taps from a file.
