Description

A focus for hubris devices in the near future is to improve our detection, reporting, and remediation of failure of cooling fans, as well as ensuring that our handling of replacement of field-serviceable fans is behaving correctly.

There are some low hanging fruit here, including adding new ereports for various unusual conditions. There is also likely some design required to better capture data observed in the lead-up to a fan failure.

This issue aims to serve as a "table of contents" of work planned under this umbrella.

Research direction

This is a tracking issue rather than a scoped implementation task, and it names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by breaking the umbrella into concrete work for fan-failure detection, reporting, remediation, and field-serviceable replacement handling; each resulting task should define its code location, validation, and done criteria.
