- OQ-9 (RESOLVED, v3.10 §6.13): PCIe transient capture is the analog DETECTION ladder above — Standard sees that a transient happened (binary, into FREEZE); magnitude/shape are held to the PCIe Pro/Max SKUs. (OQ-57..59 gate the details.) - OQ-10 / OQ-12: bundled-shunt vertical transition + high-current stackup for the ~40–55 A/cable shunt sites…
