What broke
The sensor state was not trustworthy enough to continue the autonomy test. That made the correct decision an abort and evidence capture, not another uncontrolled run.
Why it broke
Current evidence points to configuration and placement variables rather than a confirmed single hardware fault. The next run needs constrained changes so the result is meaningful.
What changed
The incident now links directly to proof artifacts and carries a narrower retest plan: placement first, then surface texture, then calibration, then parameters; one variable per run.
