A TS-480 connected, answered ID, then never reported a state:
discarding " 000000000010000000;" while waiting for IF
connected on COM3 @ 115200 baud
cat:state → connected=false freq=0
A headless frame tail can only come from bytes that were thrown away.
ask() buffered into a local slice, so everything left after the matched
frame — including the head of a frame still arriving — went with it, and
the link could sit one answer behind its questions. The buffer now lives
on the backend, and Connect drains whatever the rig said before AI0 took
effect rather than inheriting it.
Also: the cat:state diagnostic prints RigState.Error. It read
"connected=false freq=0" and said nothing about why, so every report of a
CAT failure arrived without the one fact that explains it — the reason
only ever reached a tooltip.
New work moves to 0.22.8; 0.22.7 is released.
