Nothing lives outside the repo: the bench ixgbe driver source moves in tracked at kernel/ixgbe-sff/ (build artifacts gitignored, load-ixgbe repointed, module build verified from the new home — the reg_ops/ts_bench bench extras are finally versioned), the ice sff_i2c patch is vendored at docs/nics/e810/ice-sff-i2c.patch with its out-of-tree build recipe (TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH fixup, version-matched Makefile), the e810 NVM flash logistics land in the e810 README (exact package name, rollback -m B49691D578EC into the inactive bank, post-flash inventory failing until power cycle is the expected tell), and every ~/work/phydiag-work pointer becomes an inline statement; phydiag-work, ice-sff, e810nvm and the wiitekphy CLI (a duplicate of documented transport+protocol) are deleted

## Stashes
None. Every parked experiment is distilled into docs and its code dropped: the AF_XDP conversion in xdp.md, the CX-5 Wiitek-pair implementation in nics/connectx-5/ (including the MCIA gateway constants), the phydiag campaign across nics/e810/, nics/x710/, modules/fs/ and modules/fibergaga/. Remaining phydiag working copies: `~/work/phydiag-work/` (below).

## Diagnostics artifacts outside the repo
## Bench driver
- **Patched ixgbe, bench build** (`~/work/ixgbe-sff/`) — out-of-tree module for the dev host: the product patch plus the bench-only extras (`reg_ops` value readback, `ts_bench`); `./load-ixgbe` rebuilds + swaps the module with `allow_unsupported_sfp=1`. The product subset (raw I2C + `sff_i2c`, ETQF steering, FCoE slot guard) is versioned at `kernel/ixgbe-sff.patch` and applied by `./mkimage` to every appliance kernel build — apply fails loudly when stable moves under it; port the patch then. Details: nics/x520/.
- **Bench tools and clients** (`~/work/phydiag-work/`) — `etqfbench/`, `x520poke/`, `compound_test.py`, `bcm_mcia_emu.py`, `bcm_ixgbe.py`, `bcm_explore.py`/`bcm_eee_off.py`, `bcm_ecd_probe.py`, `bcm_phaselock_bench.py`, `rollball_ixgbe.py`, `rb_forensic.py`. What each proved lives in modules/fs/, modules/wiitek/ and nics/x520/.
- **Patched ixgbe, bench build** (`kernel/ixgbe-sff/`, full driver source tracked; build artifacts gitignored) — out-of-tree module for the dev host: the product patch plus the bench-only extras (`reg_ops` value readback, `ts_bench`); `./load-ixgbe` rebuilds + swaps the module with `allow_unsupported_sfp=1`. The product subset (raw I2C + `sff_i2c`, ETQF steering, FCoE slot guard) is versioned at `kernel/ixgbe-sff.patch` and applied by `./mkimage` to every appliance kernel build — apply fails loudly when stable moves under it; port the patch then. Details: nics/x520/. Nothing else lives outside the repo; the retired diagnostics campaigns are distilled in these docs and their code is deleted.
