Issue 1: "Driver is unavailable" or Yellow Exclamation Mark in Device Manager
How the driver works internally here: Windows has loaded the driver file (giga360.sys), but it failed to initialize the hardware. Unit tests: transport mock, protocol parser, job manager
- Unit tests: transport mock, protocol parser, job manager retries.
- Integration tests: end-to-end with actual device for status transitions (paper out/in, cover open, cutter cycles).
- Fuzz tests: random byte sequences to validate parser resilience.
- Long-duration soak tests to check thermal handling and sustained throughput.
- For transient errors: wait-and-retry with exponential backoff; prompt user if persists.
- For communication errors: attempt soft-reset, re-enumeration, and re-send unacknowledged chunks.
- Log status codes with timestamps for postmortem.
- Density: How hot the heating elements get (darker prints require more heat).
- Speed: 250mm/s requires different energy than 80mm/s.
- Paper detection: Commands to pause if the paper low sensor is triggered.
