Research direction

Start by reading boards/esp/src/lib.rs at line 66 and boards/pc/src/lib.rs at line 39 to compare the current restart handlers. On ESP, the issue calls for sending the command response, allowing pending flash writes to finish, and then calling esp_hal::system::software_reset(). Check the related command and flash-write paths to determine how completion is signaled; done when both boards restart instead of only logging.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

RestartCommand only logs on both boards (boards/esp/src/lib.rs:66,
boards/pc/src/lib.rs:39). ESP: send the command response, let pending flash
writes finish, then esp_hal::system::software_reset().
