Jan 1, 2026January 2026 monthly summary for PhotonVision/photonvision: What was delivered: - Implemented Enhanced Cross-Platform System Monitoring using OSHI, enabling faster metrics collection and new network traffic metrics in Settings. A Windows-specific SystemMonitor for CPU temperature was added with a safe fallback to avoid spurious warnings. - Updated cross-platform monitoring docs to reflect the new approach and removed obsolete custom shell commands from hardware configuration documentation. Key achievements: - OSHI-based monitoring rewrite delivering approximately two orders of magnitude faster metrics collection, improving observability with lower CPU overhead. - Windows CPU temperature handling enhanced with a safe fallback, reducing misfires and noise in monitoring results. - Resolved console spam issues on Windows by gating getCpuTemperature() when data is unavailable, improving testability and log cleanliness. - Documentation alignment across platforms, ensuring developers and operators rely on the current cross-platform monitoring approach and avoiding deprecated commands. Impact and value: - Technical: Faster, more reliable system metrics with reduced noise; easier onboarding for contributors due to clearer docs; proactive risk mitigation by avoiding problematic drivers. - Business: Improved monitoring reliability reduces mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to recover (MTTR) for performance-related issues, enabling quicker response to incidents and better capacity planning. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - OSHI (Java-based hardware/system info), JNA-based integration, cross-platform engineering, Windows-specific handling, dependency risk assessment (LibreHardwareMonitor/Winring0 considerations), and documentation discipline.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025: Delivered MetricsManager and NetworkUtils Optimization in photonvision. Removed excessive debug logging and refactored NetworkUtils.getAllInterfaces to initialize the interfaces list to null and to execute the nmcli command only on Linux platforms, improving efficiency and reducing log output. This work enhances platform-specific networking behavior and lays groundwork for future optimizations and maintainability.
