6DOF-Rotary-Stewart-Motion-Simulator (knaufinator)FirmwareConfidence: Medium

CI on a 6DOF motion platform tested controller helpers but never ran the monitor task and the serial console together. The PR compiles unchanged production firmware into a host runner with fake peripherals and ten fault scenarios; a QEMU run of the real image got stuck polling the W5500 Ethernet chip.
