---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• ring — the ring you're gonna try the recovery on. that's the one, that's the main character 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so what this does is tests ring and set sched readiness status — both things, no cap, in one single call ✨

and the returns? iconic behaviour honestly:

• Returns 0 on success — slay, we love a zero 💖
