The RegistryEntry is not what is persisting - it is configuration being stored. Ie. it has no state stored there

#

It is written when creating or modifying the entity.

sacred forge wondering if i should be implementing UpdateEntity support for my entity?

This is an entity for software updates afaik - like BinarySensorEntity

#

See eg here https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/f975d30258209ad4d133990d5c96e870e71fcf86/homeassistant/components/knx/switch.py#L65
How to get the last state and restore it.

Wanted to reconfirm my understanding of the architecture for entities...

Entity registry contains the original entity created through the helper
Any modifications are stored as states and restored on top of the initial configuration
So in case of input_select modifying "options" - should that persist as a saved state that gets restored....or should the entity registry be updated with the new "option" entries?

oh... I didn't realize this was about input_select helper. I thought its about some normal integrations select entity. Not sure how that works exactly. Normally select options are defined by the integration, not the user...
