Looking for a GitHub repo which contains unit tests
Unfortunately, our codebase (at work) isn't on a public github account. But I can really recommend throwtheswitch.org.

Bare Metal Embedded C++ (14/17) Unit Testing?
throwtheswitch.org tools are pretty interesting. They focus on C, but support C++ as well.

“Static Linking Considered Harmful” Considered Harmful
This is very situational, but I have recently been part of a project that does a lot of C server-side development and we have found that static linking our non-glibc dependencies has really improved our developer experience. Using ceedling's dependency plugin[1] and producing a single "statically" linked library has made our C development much closer to using a language with a more modern package manager. Don't get me wrong, if I was trying to distribute binaries to machines I didn't control I'd definitely be willing to invest in the Linux packaging "fun", but for a server-side application it's been a good choice for our team overall.

Comma AI has sold 10K devices
They have a basic safety page in the docs [0], which unfortunately has a dead link to their vehicle safety definitions due to a recent PR [1], along with some other safety-related deadlinks in the panda README. Avoiding having to deal with safety is a pretty integral part of their whole process though. They run some basic static analysis/sanitizers/unit tests, and everything past that is out of scope. If you're not okay with that level of verification, it's probably not the product for you.

kill the company, probably, but the source is MIT and there doesn't appear to be any copyright assignment, so no rug pull

Anyone know why the comma 3 has a blue blinky light on the front?
those are LEDs from the integrated Panda UNO board. they're to debug/signal Panda functionality https://github.com/commaai/panda/blob/master/docs/guide.pdf

Curated embedded code to learn from
Take a look at Panda module (https://github.com/commaai/panda), it a part of openpilot project. It is used to control your car over CAN bus.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Ceedling and panda you can also consider the following projects:
house2
interrupt - A community for embedded software makers.
snitch - Lightweight C++20 testing framework.
robotic-hid - A human interface device for mechatronic systems
satcat5 - SatCat5 is a mixed-media Ethernet switch that lets a variety of devices communicate on the same network.
