Description

We don't really have a design for the SP -> Host class of requests yet to my knowledge. We could have the host poll regularly (via a new HostRequest message )and get the updates in bulk, but I'd rather we build out SpRequest messages to indicate presence changes, interrupts from modules, and hardware faults. This also feels like an important thing to solve imminently, so I'd propose we add it to the FCS milestone.

@bnaecker thoughts?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing SpRequest messages and the host-side request handling; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Compare the proposed SpRequest approach with a new HostRequest polling message, then document an agreed design for presence changes, module interrupts, and hardware faults that can be added to the FCS milestone.
