November 2024 summary for zephyrproject-rtos/hal_rpi_pico: Delivered a critical stability improvement by fixing the FreeRTOS flash_safe_execute timeout. The patch ensures the lockout task is created and pinned to the correct CPU core from initialization, eliminating the timeout condition and reducing risk of stalled flash operations in time-sensitive paths. The change was implemented in commit 89702417724115afe3c5516fde31df06a4aa72f6 with message 'Fix flash_safe_execute timeout under FreeRTOS (#2021)'.
