Contributions summary:Brigitte's primary contribution focuses on enhancing the `defmt` library, designed for efficient logging in embedded systems. They implemented support for `i128` and `u128` integer types, expanding the library's formatting capabilities. The changes involve modifications across multiple files, including the decoder, parser, macros, implementation details, and test files. These additions directly address the core functionality of the library, improving its utility for embedded development by allowing for larger integer representations in logging.
