claude-noether 458ad36f8b notes: backlog Bug #5 — RX path degrades under throughput pressure
Observed 2026-05-07: bumping the netcat sender from 1 MB/s to 4 MB/s
DECREASED ohm's observed RX rate (1015 KB/s → 563 KB/s) and degraded
the link (signal -57 → -67 dBm, MCS 4 → 3). Chip can't sustain near-
link-rate RX even though theoretical capacity is ~8 MB/s.

Hypothesis: driver/firmware lock contention or busy-wait on the RX
SDIO path. Plausibly explains the original Phase-0 observation that
YouTube DASH chunks drop ~10 frames per chunk fetch — chunk fetch is
a brief near-line-rate burst that this bug would be triggered by.
