Scout run 2026-10-30

All 11 targets, window 2026-10-29 10:04 UTC to 2026-10-30 15:57 UTC. 395 API calls, 0 errors. Changes in xe, nvgfx, i2c, legion-efi, mt7925-bt, mt7925-wifi and mt7925-wifi-native; audio, cbmr, cpu-power and ite-kbd had nothing. The web sweep was skipped this run. The GitHub reading already covered every lead.

Actionable

  1. xe: compare ArrowWhatever patches 0006 (read-only host ranges), 0001 (userptr unwire race) and 0008/0009 (flip armed after GPU idle) with our current XeGfx. Write-up
  2. xe: brightness persistence from zep245, as an idea for our open brightness item.
  3. xe: check that our Metal plugin installs no signal handlers (JulioNectar #20).
  4. nvgfx: reply owed on #356 (first stock 2.6.3 drag numbers: 63.5 and 48 flips/s). Write-up
  5. nvgfx: #455, scaled modes missing on Sequoia with 2.6.4 after our #354 fix. Worth a question about the override they use.
  6. mt7925-bt: SimpleMtkBtFw #2, BLE HID pairing stall on Tahoe. Check MtkBt with a BLE device. Write-up

Notable

  • RTL8814Native AWDL notes for native Skywalk on 25G241 (write-up).
  • Borders-Q/MT7925-macOS26-package redistributes our MT7925 kexts with credit (write-up).
  • Arrow Lake-HX VoodooI2C traps and a Raptor Lake HWP-request fix (write-up).
  • NullMoth v2.6.4 (translator only), #454, #429; zep245 bounded fence wait and descriptor reuse; metal2vulkan merge-at-completion for copied host buffers.
  • LenovoLegionLinux fan full speed through WMI (write-up).

None of the three related projects is a source we took anything from, so no credit entries were added.

Conversations

One thread waits on us: #356, handed to outreach. No labs issue had new comments, so no logs were ingested. No public edits in labs repos this run.

Outreach

  • Answered Karma1228 on #356.
  • Asked the #455 reporter for their override entry format.
  • Credit scan: two repos name our projects in their notes only (Mountainatic/YaoShi16-Ultra-OpenCore-efi, Royiii3/r9000p-adr10-hackintosh-notes). Neither ships our code or binaries, so no credit request.
