Monthly performance summary for 2026-01 focused on delivering a unified telemetry packaging framework for cmu-argus-2/FSW-mainboard. Implemented a unified packing/unpacking structure and added a telemetry configuration file to standardize definitions and packing methods across FSW and GSW. Heartbeat telemetry validation completed; other telemetry types await testing. This work reduces duplication between FSW and GSW and lays groundwork to consolidate telemetry definitions, improving maintainability and speed of future integration (aligns with issue #356).
