Feb 1, 2025February 2025: Stabilized startup error handling and reduced alert fatigue in Firebird. Implemented a startup-state check (checkForFailedStart) to mark services that have not yet fired a start event and suppress subsequent error notifications, ensuring only a single error is emitted for not-started services. This change minimizes noisy alerts and improves reliability during startup, while preserving visibility into genuine failures.
