Research direction

Start with the three cited locations: boards/esp/main.template.rs:25, build-utils/src/lib.rs:19, and boards/esp/xtask_builder.rs:650. Remove the obsolete boot message and file watch, then read the bitvec patch and the linked reproducible-builds item to document why the lockfile is deleted and when to remove that workaround. Done when all three leftovers are addressed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

  • boards/esp/main.template.rs:25 still prints !!! FIRMWARE BOOTED SUCCESSFULLY !!!.
  • build-utils/src/lib.rs:19 watches contracts/opencar/core/v1/vehicle_state.proto,
    which doesn't exist.
  • The generated crate patches bitvec to a git rev and deletes its Cargo.lock
    to apply it (boards/esp/xtask_builder.rs:650). Document why, and track
    removing it once the upstream fix is released (see the reproducible-builds item in https://github.com/OpenCarControls/contracts/issues/11).
