Subject: [PATCH v4 1/7] dts: move exception module from framework to API

This patch series reorganizes the DTS codebase by moving several modules
from the framework package to the API package. The first patch moves the
exception module to make it part of the public API.

Does this code actually move the exception.py file or just copy it? The
diff shows a rename operation, but there should be both a deletion and
addition in the patch. Can this lead to duplicate exception.py files in
both locations if applied incorrectly?

Subject: [PATCH v4 6/7] dts: move params directory from framework to API

This patch moves the params directory and updates imports. There appears
to be a circular import issue introduced.

Does this TYPE_CHECKING guard avoid a circular import between
api.params.types and api.params? Can the Switch and YesNoSwitch types be
used at runtime in this module, or does the guard break runtime type
annotations?

Does this TYPE_CHECKING guard cause runtime issues when TestPmdParamsDict
is used in method signatures? Can methods that use TestPmdParamsDict as
parameter types work correctly with this import guard?

Subject: [PATCH v4 7/7] dts: separate Linux session into interface and logic

This patch splits LinuxSession into an abstract interface in the API and
concrete implementation in the framework.

Does removing all implementation from api.testbed_model.linux_session.py
break existing code that imports LinuxSession from this module? Can tests
or other modules that instantiate LinuxSession directly still work, or do
they need to be updated to use the framework implementation?

Does this TYPE_CHECKING guard work correctly with the OSSession type
annotations in this module? Can the create_session function in node.py
return LinuxSession instances at runtime if the import is only for type
checking?

Does this inheritance order (PosixSession, LinuxSessionBase) guarantee
method resolution in the correct order? Can method lookups correctly find
implementations from both parent classes without conflicts?
