    "description": "Governed release process for producing, validating, and distributing firmware images\nto embedded hardware devices. The embedded engineer freezes the release branch, runs\nthe full hardware-in-the-loop regression suite, and generates a signed firmware image\nwith a cryptographic hash. QA validates the image on representative device samples\nacross temperature and voltage corners. Release notes document fixed defects and\nchanged register maps. The image is published to the firmware distribution server and\na staged OTA rollout deploys it to the device fleet with automated health monitoring.\n",
