Research direction

Start with the linked design issue, #12, which contains the design and open questions. Then trace where RX statistics enter system state and how BLE and MQTT handle the read-only toggle. Done when RX stats are published, the toggle is accepted over BLE only in debug builds, and MQTT cannot set it.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Part of https://github.com/OpenCarControls/firmware/issues/12, which has the design and open questions.

Publish the RX stats in system state, and accept the read-only toggle over BLE in debug builds only, never over MQTT.
