Real empirical evidence the ESP-NOW sync transport is long-term stable
on the C6 (D-workaround). Single-board capture on COM9, latest firmware
on branch (8eaa92cf2):
Captured 33586 bytes over 120 s
ESP-NOW samples: 24
first: tx=1 fail=0 rx=0 match=0 leader=1 offset=0
last: tx=1151 fail=0 rx=0 match=0 leader=1 offset=0
TX rate: 9.6/s (target ~10/s)
TX failure rate: 0.00%
app_main calls (reset detector): 1 -> no crash
The 9.6/s vs 10/s gap is FreeRTOS timer schedulability slop at 100 ms
ticks, not a transport issue. Zero TX failures over 1151 attempts +
zero resets in 2 min = the ESP-NOW path is production-grade as a
transport. Only the cross-board RX measurement is blocked on the other
boards' USB enumeration.
