Research direction

Start with the design and open questions in OpenCarControls/contracts issue 9, then locate the firmware's phone connection and BLE scanning entry points. Check how scanning fits the C3 memory budget and how button actions are registered, stored, and gated by car state and the non-security allowlist. Done means buttons are discovered and their allowed actions run only while the car is ON.
