The firmware release must close a replay path without making reconnection less safe.
Authorization integrity protects device behavior, while alert continuity protects isolated workers when connectivity returns.
Who you’d be doing this for
“When someone misses a check-in, I need to know the device did what it was supposed to do.”

What is at stake
A replayed authorization request may alter device behavior after a dead-zone reconnection. You have to weigh a permanent firmware decision against uninterrupted SOS delivery.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- firmware containment vs. SOS continuity
- lab reproduction vs. fleet confidence
- release deadline vs. one-way device risk
- cloud evidence vs. device behavior
Why Samsara
Worker Safety devices carry the SOS and man-down signals safety managers use to coordinate help for isolated workers.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
