- NVIDIA SAT now includes a lightweight in-image GPU stress step via `bee-gpu-stress`
+- NVIDIA SAT now includes a lightweight in-image GPU stress step via `bee-gpu-burn`
 - SAT summaries now expose `overall_status` plus per-job `OK/FAILED/UNSUPPORTED`
- Memory/GPU SAT runtime defaults can be overridden via `BEE_MEMTESTER_*` and `BEE_GPU_STRESS_*`
+- Memory SAT runtime defaults can be overridden via `BEE_MEMTESTER_*`
