Description

We know both the "reason for most recent reset" (available to any task by asking jefe) and the time in ticks since last reset, but neither of these are available without direct humility access. We should make them available via MGS.

Research direction

Start by tracing the control-plane-agent and MGS interfaces, then inspect how jefe exposes the most recent reset reason and how reset-relative ticks are obtained. Done means both the reset reason and system time since reset can be requested through MGS without direct humility access.
