Bringup waits for nothing (no sleeps, no link waits, SETs fire cable-or-not with advert readback), errors held off the display while a measure is in flight, status poll is a deadline not a retry count, ghost signals (implausible SNR, undefined ECD verdict) panic outright; persistent stale-pipeline bridge fact documented

Strip canaries, double-reads, retries and floors from the module protocol; every bcm method holds the per-module lock for its whole operation; facts stay in docs with internal-client contention marked unresolved

Shared-mailbox reality: module firmware is its own handler client (internal GET_CURRENT_TEMP ~3.5s, proven idle-watch), handler writes wedge the uC in busy windows; quiet-window writes, bare GETs double-read with CMD-readback tripwire, SNR floor, SETs verified externally; sentinel handshake and wire-probe jumbo check removed

Bridged MDIO reads verify freshness: a late async fetch serves the previous response as the wrong register (observed STATUS 0x0004 as 0.4dB SNR); unchanged-or-zero results re-read bare without re-arming until stable, first read always verified, identify retries against the constant PHY ID

Jumbo in the size mix (MTU 9000 + module jumbo pinned), check-first module config trusting GET reads, cable diag async at startup through the reset path, MODULES table dissolved into SETTINGS/LINKS, per-driver NIC counter sets, comment cleanup

BCM module diagnostics replace timestamp probes: bringup forces EEE off and runs ECD (re-run on every reset, re-baselining past its blip), 1 Hz SNR margin + corrected counters on panel and console; X520 bench divergences bypassed and tracked in open-questions

Dissolve resolved analyses into standalone device docs; open-questions.md keeps only the four live problems; discard NIC-timestamp length path (BCM ECD is proven) and Aquantia length trivia (30m part, oracle-only)

Re-transcribe BCM84891L MDIO command and SFP register excerpts in full (all 45 commands, complete serial-ID table); scrub doc-provenance attribution and label all our interjections as field notes

BCM ECD recovered from OpenBCM SDK and proven: 1E.4006 start, 1.A896 verdicts, 1.A897-9A per-pair meters -- meter-accurate on a 45m cable, healthy pairs report length
