Research direction

Read the design and open questions in contracts issue #6, then the availability definition in contracts issue #13. Trace how firmware derives vehicle state and handles incoming commands; the payload does not name specific files or tests. Done when availability is reported as defined and unavailable commands are rejected with the new status code, including when the app sends them anyway.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Part of https://github.com/OpenCarControls/contracts/issues/6, which has the design and open questions.

Work out availability from the vehicle state, send it as defined in https://github.com/OpenCarControls/contracts/issues/13, and reject unavailable commands with the new status code even if the app sends them anyway.
