Full changelog

What's Changed

Type Hints (Closes #108)

Added return type annotations and parameter type hints to all 14 driver modules (900+ methods)
Covers InstrumentDriver, Multimeter, PowerSupply, SpectrumAnalyzer, NetworkAnalyzer, Oscilloscope, SignalGenerator, FunctionGenerator, ElectronicLoad, FrequencyCounter and all concrete implementations

Async / Await Support (Closes #107)

New AsyncInstrumentDriver + type-specific wrappers (AsyncMultimeter, AsyncPowerSupply, AsyncSpectrumAnalyzer, AsyncNetworkAnalyzer, AsyncOscilloscope, AsyncSignalGenerator, AsyncFunctionGenerator, AsyncElectronicLoad, AsyncFrequencyCounter)
wrap_async(driver) factory — automatically picks the most specific async wrapper
async with context manager support
Parallel measurements via asyncio.gather()
Backward compatible with existing driver.async_*() dynamic wrapper

Regression Test Suite

43 new regression tests covering driver basics, MeasurementResult contract, safety guardrails, simulated physics, type hint completeness, async wrapper, factory, and registry
242 tests total (up from 199)

Good First Issue Skeletons

5 new skeleton functions in transport.py and scanner.py for contributor onboarding:
- detect_line_termination (#113)
- find_minimum_timeout (#114)
- poll_for_mav (#115)
- poll_opc_with_backoff (#116)
- find_duplicate_addresses (#117)
