In my Python/Postgres work, unit tests don't catch lock behavior, so I run migrations against a disposable Postgres container in CI. Keeping the failing board trace with the exact firmware revision sounds like the same kind of evidence when a simulator and the board disagree. The board being the reference makes sense to me.

haha you just reminded me of a time when AI forgot about the python GIL when doing pytest wrapped around my custom USB endpoint C++ code to talk to my firmware and it completely broke all my host USB because I didn't know how locks would affect my code. this was opus 4.6 though so I forgive em.
