Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Morgan800cc Platform Sensor Threshold Alignment and Monitoring Enhancement delivered for facebook/fboss. Updated SCM sensor thresholds to align with internal development standards, yielding more accurate readings and improved monitoring. Validation included sensor_service_client checks to ensure values are within expected ranges. Ensured code quality via pre-submission checks (lint fixes and pre-commit runs) and merged under PR #942 with differential revision D93652992; changes pulled by RomanChoporov-Meta. Business impact: higher data quality, fewer false alerts, and a solid baseline for cross-platform standardization.
