 "symptom": "The board is present in lsusb as 2e8a:0005 MicroPython Board in FS mode, its /dev/serial/by-id symlink exists, dmesg shows a clean enumeration, and every attempt to talk to it fails. mpremote reports 'could not enter raw repl' on more than ten consecutive tries. Nothing about the host's view of the device suggests a problem.",
