foxglove (BanditF)FirmwareConfidence: Medium

A Claude Code firmware change (#645) merged, then an on-call hardware flash showed every BLE art push failing with 0 bytes delivered, snapshot busy after retries, and rescue re-link never firing; the firmware part is reverted, main is now back at #644, still unproven on hardware, and the author plans a sim case to bisect. Sim and app tests passed; the device did not.
