The guide currently describes velocity-only support and says position/thrust setpoints are unavailable. Update the overview and available setter names to match the public C++ API, state acceleration units, and defer supported vehicle/setpoint combinations to PX4 documentation.

Only docs/en/cpp/guide/offboard.md changes. Related to #3046; thanks to @kyles-dev for the acceleration question prompting this inspection. This documentation change leaves that acceleration/drag behavior question open.

Validation at 52ea50b52d518b7ff5d550f572c0657b9225c475: exact patch and candidate hashes verified; six setter names checked against the public header/reference; original and patched full VitePress builds succeeded under Node20.20.2/Yarn1.22.22. Existing dependency and bundle-size warnings remain. No C++ SDK, simulator, hardware or flight testing is claimed. Other historical guide examples are outside this patch.

Current main b4caa190f507ba7286073241bc52f5376a2067d4 has the identical complete docs/ tree (d0081ef7ff9e96944c74b723aa6968e511cc9df3) and the same documentation build workflow; the intervening commit changes C++ dependency tooling only. Existing documentation-build evidence is reused; no new full-tree build is claimed.

AI-assisted tools were used for investigation and preparation.
