serversdownandClaude Opus 5 cfc715c02f docs(series4): THOR shows "Connected" for 11 minutes after it stopped checking
Closes the question the last two commits left open -- what the UI actually shows
during the dead window.  It is the bad case.

Captured at 13:15, eleven minutes after THOR's last contact with the unit:

    Connection Status : Connected                  <- false
    Last Updated      : 09/25/2026 01:04:22 PM     <- true, and that is the REFRESH
    Notification      : "Unable to download event(s) ... Did not receive
                         response from unit."  (01:03:31 PM)

Three separable points:

  * The green tile is false -- it reports a live connection not exercised for
    eleven minutes.
  * Last Updated is TRUE, and is the only honest field on the screen.  THOR knows
    when it last succeeded; it renders that as small grey text under the unit
    name, unhighlighted and unmarked as stale, beneath a large green Connected
    tile.  The operator must read a timestamp and do arithmetic to find out the
    headline is wrong.
  * The failure THOR did report was the DOWNLOAD, not the poller stopping.  The
    two are treated as unrelated; nothing states that automatic checking ceased.

So the state is not merely undisplayed: THOR holds the data that would reveal it
and presents a contradicting summary instead.

Adds design consequence 0, ahead of the others because it is the highest-value
fix and the cheapest: connection status must EXPIRE.  If the last successful
check is older than a small multiple of the interval, the state is stale/unknown,
never Connected.  THOR already has the timestamp; it just does not let it
invalidate the summary.

Same screen independently corroborates four of our decodes: memory 14.94/15.00 MB
against the exact 15,000,000-byte total from SUB 0x1C; Unit Date/Time 01:04:20 PM
against the device clock at 0x1C data[13:21]; Scheduler Enabled against 0x47; and
Auto Call Home Disabled against the write[5]=0x04 observed in the 0x7E capture.
