 ## Proposed Design
 High Level Flow:
 - Check pgood

-- Check host via PLDM (enabled via compile option)
-- Check host via any custom mechanisms

+- Read `CurrentFirmwareCondition` property of all interface. If any call returns
+  that a host is running then create file and start host target.
+- Otherwise, check host via any custom mechanisms
 - Execute automated recovery of host if desired
 
 IPMI and PLDM software will be started as applicable. A combination of systemd
