I decided to proceed this way because there may not be a direct correlation
between the current synchronisation state and the location of the check itself.
for instance, in firmware_show(), what sync state should be key on?

I thought about this in terms of "states" in which a decision should be made.
I'm not sure those are flags...

No matter how many times you read your own code, there's always something like
