Testing
Verified the transfer and installation of the new kernel components on the target controller, followed by a successful reboot. Confirmed the target boots with the new kernel version by executing uname -r on the controller via SSH. Tested the send_email_report function to ensure proper success/failure notifications are sent to the configured recipients
