Tasks

• Record hybrid + HEVC-not-RAW on the bead

• Write docs/INTERCONNECT.md

• Delta hardware-kit interconnect requirements

• Require satellite-side H.265 encode for T4000 1+2 HQ bring-up and protect the two-session NVENC ceiling

• Specify PoE power versus Ethernet data roles, the external switch boundary, and PHY/uplink capacity criteria

• Add the independent-MGBE-lanes constraint; forbid treating QSFP as aggregated 100GbE

• Add a testable clock/metadata capability contract while leaving the exact product clock source open

• Add a record-first scenario in which AI decode/overlay can drop without interrupting HEVC plus sidecars

• Re-advise 2026-09-10 (fable): Thor-in-the-loop — sat H.265 remuxed by Thor to NAS; remux is record, not in the AI drop set

• Re2-advise 2026-09-10 (fable, docs only, not gating): strike “or Thor remux” in docs/STREAM-BUDGET.md:77 and “Sats = camera H.265” in docs/INTERCONNECT.md so the docs say Thor remux writes the sat master, matching the SHALL
