PWR-31 — Active Load protection mechanisms

Each Active Load channel shall include fast-trip short-circuit detection, out-of-regulation monitoring, and thermal shutdown protection

Fast-trip on short-circuit; out-of-regulation flag asserted when feedback loop drops out; thermal shutdown engages before over-temperature damage. Voltage, current, and fault status measured in real time and available to software. Per Sparrow Hardware Datasheet v3 §6.6 (sourceRef: 01_ProductSpec/Sparrow Hardware Datasheet-v3-20260504_150735.pdf)
