+## MODERN CONSOLE MILESTONE (2026-07-09 late): TeslaSuite .NET console runs the pod, fully hands-free
+
+With the host bridging recipe above, the modern .NET console connected
+"near instantly", queued and ran a real 2-minute BT mission on the
+DOSBox pod, and the mission exited ON TIME. Recycle test (wire-logged):
+mission-end teardown (netnub FINs then RSTs the session -- a clean
+close) -> console starts SYN-retrying 11s later -> rides through the
+dead-air phase AND a connection-refused phase (netnub's stack answers
+RST before BTL4OPT issues its TCP_LISTEN; the SBK upload sits in this
+window) -> SYN-ACK the moment the listener opens. **54 seconds from
+teardown to re-established session, zero operator interaction.**
+Modern console + net_loop.conf pod = a fully autonomous mission loop;
+the only operator action is queueing the next mission. (Console 4.10
+by contrast needs an app relaunch per mission.)
