 "title": "A reset step scoped to declared inventory rather than to the job wiped an unused board's filesystem 70 times in nine days",
 "symptom": "A board that almost no job required was reflashed 70 times across 53 job logs over nine days \u2014 and for a UF2 board the reflash IS the reset, so each one wiped its filesystem. Of the 53 logs containing a reflash, exactly 3 belong to jobs that needed that board; 50 do not. In the kernel log it appears as a port re-enumerating in pairs about six seconds apart, roughly hourly, with the device number climbing into the nineties: the enter-bootloader-then-return signature. In the job logs it is one 'reflashing' line per run, in chains whose specs never named the board.",
