 "title": "OpenMV N6 fw 5.0.0: the first ml.Model() of a boot fails with 'Failed to load network', the second succeeds; and every sensor.reset() shifts AWB/AGC enough to fake 10-16 % motion at l_thresh 8",
 "symptom": "A deep-sleep wake-cycle camera: (1) the gate model at /flash/gate.tflite (a stedgeai NBIN relocatable) raised RuntimeError('Failed to load network') on the first ml.Model() call after every boot, so a fail-open guard blacklisted it; the same file loaded fine on the second call (6 ms fail, 21 ms ok), also seen with /rom models copied to a file. (2) With one sensor.reset()+skip_frames per wake, an 80x50 grayscale thumbnail of a static blurry scene differed from the previous wake's by 10-16 % of pixels at |dL| >= 8, 1-2 % at >= 16, 0 at >= 24; two snapshots without a re-init differ by 0. get_rgb_gain_db() and get_gain_db() came back slightly different after each reset (2.18/2.04/2.22 R gain, 7.28/7.51 dB) while exposure_us stayed identical.",
