Aug 1, 20252025-08 fboss: Implemented reliability and clarity improvements across LED handling, production-state reporting, and hardware testing, with substantial repo cleanup. Key deliveries include standardizing LED identifiers and specs, adding an EEPROM production-state enum and display, consolidating the hardware test suite (gpio, LED, watchdog, xcvr, Hwmon), introducing watchdog utilities, and refactoring Thrift config with improved documentation. Maintenance work reduced failure modes: added crash prevention in FwConfig handling, removed old backup files and legacy FwConfig structs, and removed the Python implementation, while reorganizing code layout and applying BSP/HWMon updates. These changes enhance production readiness, observability, and developer velocity.
