The fan-ceiling check, the webui metrics collector (every 5s) and the PSU
health poller each shelled out to ipmitool independently. The BMC's KCS
interface serializes those calls anyway, so under load the concurrent
`ipmitool sdr`/`dcmi power reading` invocations just queued behind each
other — that's what produced "IPMI slow" backoff during a fan-ceiling run in
a blackbox dump, while the dashboard looked fine only because it was reading
its own, separately-stale data from a different ipmitool call.
hw_telemetry.go is now the sole recurring poller (fan RPM, temperature, PSU
power/status, DCMI system power), with the adaptive 1s-30s backoff that used
to be duplicated inside the fan check. Every hot-path consumer reads the
shared cache (hwSnapshot / platform.HardwareSDRSnapshot) instead of calling
ipmitool itself.

Extract the fan peak-tracking into observedPeakStore (observe max under
load, hold >= minHold to reject spikes, round, persist JSON) and add a
second instance for PSU draw (psu-observation.json, keyed by PSU
ordinal). Fed from samplePSUPower like fans are from sampleFanSpeeds, so
any full-load run refines it — the Fan Ceiling Check (which also samples
PSU power at a slow cadence off its loop and writes psu_<i>_peak_w), a
burn, thermal cycling, and the 5s web metrics collector.
/topo PSU cards now scale the load fill by wattage_w when the BMC
reports it, else by the observed peak draw — marked "~N% load". This
MSI stand's BMC gives only instantaneous input power, so the observed
peak is the only capacity figure available.
Fan behaviour is unchanged (tests exercise updateFanObservation /
estimateFanDutyCyclePctFromObservation / ResolveFanMaxRPM through the
new store).

Each fan tile carries data-fan / data-ceil / data-measured and a small
script polls /api/metrics/latest every 5s — the metrics collector's own
sampling period, served from memory with no extra BMC call — updating
each tile's spin rate, duty fill and tooltip in place. Polling faster
would only re-read identical numbers; sampling the BMC faster would
choke it under load. FanReading gains json tags for the endpoint.

- GPU load switches from bee-gpu-burn (compute burn, ~88% TDP) to
dcgmproftester -t 1004 / targeted_power via
resolveBenchmarkPowerLoadCommand — the same engine Power/Thermal Fit
uses and the hottest sustained NVIDIA load we have, so fans are
actually pushed toward their ceiling.
- Sample loop is now IPMI-hang-proof: every ipmitool read is time-boxed
in an abandonable goroutine, and the poll interval backs off
geometrically (1s→30s) when reads are slow, tightening again on
recovery. A plateau is only trusted while telemetry is healthy;
degraded runs ride out to MaxLoadSec. Summary gains fan_samples /
telemetry_degraded. Drops the per-second nvidia-smi+power+cpu-temp
sampling from the hot loop.
- Dead code removed: FanStressRow, GPUStressMetric, sampleFanStressRow,
sampleGPUStressMetrics, WriteFanStressCSV/WriteFanSensorsCSV,
analyzeMaxTemp, sampleSystemPowerResolved.
Topology fan tiles:
- size encodes the fan's ceiling RPM (its class), not current speed;
coloured fill rising from the bottom encodes live duty cycle
(current / ceiling), shown only when the ceiling was measured.
- glyph spin rate now maps absolute RPM into a human-perceptible band
(fanSpinPeriodSec: 2.2s/turn at <=1000 RPM, 0.35s at >=13000).
- the "N fans · N OK · tile size ∝ …" caption line is gone.

Repurpose the previously-unwired RunFanStressTest into RunFanCheck, a
Load-tier SAT test that drives stressapptest (CPU+memory) and, when a GPU
is present, a GPU burn to 100% simultaneously, then watches every fan
until none has climbed for ~60s. The observed peak RPM per fan is the
"ceiling"; it is persisted through the existing fan-observation store.
MSI G4201 / AMI MegaRAC exposes no host-side fan force (every OEM IPMI
command returns 0xc1; Redfish Thermal is GET-only), so load-driven ramp
is the closest safe equivalent. See
bible-local/decisions/2026-09-04-fan-ceiling-check.md.
- platform.ResolveFanMaxRPM: per-fan max with fallback (persisted peak ->
peer peak -> current RPM), resolved in platform, not the view.
- platform.ErrTestNotApplicable: no load source or no fan sensors ->
task lands as cancelled ("not applicable"), never failed, so an
engineer never sees a false red. executeTaskWithOptions maps the
sentinel; finalizeTaskForResult honours a pre-set TaskCancelled.
- Verdict FAIL only for a fan at 0 RPM / IPMI cr-nr under load.
- /topo: one small spinning square per fan, sized by RPM / resolved max,
clickable through to a new "fan" component-detail type; per-fan status
recorded to the component-status DB from the fan SAT summary.
- Wiring: /api/sat/fan/run route, "fan" task target, Load-page card,
stress-mode Run All.

nvidia-smi query, set dev.Model in enrichPCIeWithNVIDIAData

activating/deactivating/reloading service states as OK in Runtime Health
- support_bundle.go: use "150405" time format (no colons) for exFAT compat
- sat.go / benchmark.go / platform_stress.go / sat_fan_stress.go: remove
.tar.gz archive creation from export dirs — export packs everything itself
- charts_svg.go: add min-max downsampling (1400 pt cap) for SVG chart perf
- benchmark_report.go / sat.go: normalize GPU fallback to "Unknown GPU"

- bee-gpu-stress.c: remove per-wave cuCtxSynchronize barrier in both
cuBLASLt and PTX hot loops; sync at most once/sec so the GPU queue
stays continuously full — eliminates the CPU↔GPU ping-pong that
prevented reaching full TDP
- sat_fan_stress.go: default SizeMB 0 (auto = 95% VRAM) instead of
hardcoded 64 MB; tiny matrices caused <0.1 ms kernels where CPU
re-queue overhead dominated
- pages.go: move nvidia-targeted-power and nvidia-pulse from Burn →
Validate stress section alongside nvidia-targeted-stress; these are
DCGM pass/fail diagnostics, not sustained burn loads; remove the
Power Delivery / Power Budget card from Burn entirely

Legend names were "GPU 0 %" — remove unit suffix since chart title already
conveys it. Fan parsing now handles the 5-field IPMI SDR format where the
value+unit ("4340 RPM") are combined in the last column rather than split
across separate fields.

Two-phase GPU thermal cycling test with per-second telemetry:
- Phases: baseline → load1 → pause (no cooldown) → load2 → cooldown
- Monitors: fan RPM (ipmitool sdr), CPU/server temps (ipmitool/sensors),
system power (ipmitool dcmi), GPU temp/power/usage/clock/throttle (nvidia-smi)
- Detects throttling via clocks_throttle_reasons.active bitmask
- Measures fan response lag from load start (validates case-04 ~2s lag)
- Exports metrics.csv (wide format, one row/sec) and fan-sensors.csv (long format)
- TUI: adds [F] Fan Stress Test to Health Check screen with Quick/Standard/Express modes
