Worked on the ni/grpc-device repository to upgrade the NIFGEN driver metadata to version 26.0, focusing on enhancing digital edge trigger capabilities and reducing API drift between clients. Updated the nifgen.proto definitions to introduce new enum fields for digital edge triggers while removing outdated RPCs, simplifying the API and lowering future maintenance requirements. Implemented breaking changes that required clients to select between edge_raw and edge fields in specific trigger configuration requests, ensuring clearer protocol usage. Used C++, Python, Protocol Buffers, and gRPC to align client-server message structures, verified local builds, and prepared guidance for downstream client updates and testing.
