An idea that came to mind (not fully thought through) is to do something
about
logging, adding a log buffer, log targets and/or some kind of tracing
feature?
There is an old PR here that worked on something like that:
https://github.com/coconut-svsm/svsm/pull/52

But since the deadline is already in a couple of days and I don't think
it is realistic (at least not for me) to get something together in time.
