• firmware version
• operation attempted
• sanitized request or response description
• OS, transport mode, and reproducibility notes

Prohibited Content

• raw decompiled code
• copied vendor source snippets
• proprietary dumps that are not sanitized into structure-level notes

Maintainer Flow

1. validate the report format
2. map it to a known PID or create a new sanitized record
3. update the relevant spec or dossier artifacts
4. keep the device read-only until runtime and hardware confirmation justify promotion
