 "title": "The bench cannot measure how SoftAP throughput degrades with client count, because it has only one usable WiFi client",
 "symptom": "The access point accepts the configuration and reports stations 1 with full throughput, which reads like a successful measurement of a one-client case rather than a measurement that could not be taken. A spec asking for the degradation curve appears satisfied when nothing was actually swept.",
