## Title

    Classify host-pressure timeouts without weakening correctness gates

## Body

    FACT: The examined cycle saw overlapping emulator and system-service failures, then reran the affected flow after reducing host contention while keeping the timeout policy intact. INFERENCE: Environmental diagnosis requires controlled reproduction, not a looser gate. RECOMMENDATION: Capture device state, stop conflicting processes, rerun serially, and preserve the original acceptance threshold.
