Subject: [PATCH] docs(bf-4ads8): re-verify spaxel-sim streams CSI (frames/s >
 0, 4 nodes, no REJECT)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Independently re-ran the documented command against a fresh bf-3zll healthy
mothership: 4 nodes connect (mothership nodes_online=4), 0 REJECT in both logs,
Frames sent 7200 / Average FPS 240.0 over 30s. Reproduces bf-3hji's result; the
exact command and evidence are recorded under the existing "Hardware-Free
Simulator → CSI Streaming" PROGRESS.md section. blobs=0 stays out of scope
(next chain link, bf-4q5w / IO-6).

 ### Out of scope (tracked separately)
 
 - The sim reports `blobs detected: 0`. Blob production is the next link in the
