   Bench/RIOJoy-only until the native games get baud patches; needs an
   FTDI-class adapter (16550s can't make 31250). Test tools take `--baud 31250`.
+- **Speed-ladder variants** (`_31250v2`, `_62500`, `_125000`) and bench
+  verdicts: see RIOv4_2-ANALYSIS.md — 31250v2 is the certified FastRIO
+  build; 62500/125000 were science runs (CPU is the wall).

+  (`--e0thresh=5`) — adds a threshold to the cockpit display's `E0`
+  serial-error readout, which stock firmware paints on the *first*
+  counter event (`E0000001` forever after one benign give-up). Display
+  stays `F0000000` until any error counter reaches 5; counters still
+  accumulate. 30-byte cave at `$E000`, disassembly-verified, **not yet
+  burned/bench-verified**. Details in RIOv4_2-ANALYSIS.md.
