> The de Broglie-Bohm interpretation is not the same as the pilot-wave theory, which was never fully fleshed out.

Most contexts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Broglie%E2%80%93Bohm_theory) define pilot-wave theory and the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation as the same. de Broglie himself also proposed a specific pilot-wave theory that is not valid (see article). When referring to a "pilot-wave" theory it is helpful to state specifically who the author is in order to resolve any likely confusion, which this topic usually seems to involve.

Quantum field theory generalizations( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Broglie%E2%80%93Bohm_theory...) do exist.
