Outdoor robots require more than an accurate receiver and a path-tracking law: the navigation system must preserve geometric consistency from geographic waypoints to actuator commands, expose measurement validity and timing, and respond to invalid or stale state information. This work presents a ROS~2 navigation stack with interchangeable single-GNSS--IMU and dual-antenna-GNSS localization front ends. Both provide a common local East--North--Up state interface for pure pursuit, virtual-point cross-track PID, finite-horizon nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC), and a segment-dependent hybrid dispatcher. The architecture specifies coordinate conventions, datum initialization, asynchronous state construction, waypoint geometry, controller equations, quality gates, command arbitration, and watchdog behavior. Independent physical field runs collected during 2025 and 2026 grape-vineyard deployments support a balanced evaluation of 800 runs, with 100 runs for each of eight controller--localization combinations on an approximately 199.6-m route. The row-hybrid mode yields the lowest run-averaged post-acquisition mean absolute cross-track error (MAE) in the evaluated dataset: 0.00952~m with single GNSS+IMU and 0.00846~m with dual GNSS. These findings characterize deviations of the recorded positions from the reference route under the evaluated conditions.
