LLMs do not understand, will not understand, and cannot ever understand information. It's a glorified search engine combined with auto-compete, and you should treat it as such. No matter how much LLM companies try to tell you their machines can think or reason, they cannot and will not.

Additional testing is pointing to Watchman. I verified by restoring I immediately got the watchman beta release prompt to upgrade. I upgraded and it killed the instance again.
Restored again. Removed watchman and stable now. HDD failure and Watchman beta! @home-assistant.io @home-assistant.dev

It was eye opening to see the trends and the correlation with other events headaches, sleepiness and my HRV just casually idling along not actually moving air around. So the solution
1. Get rid of the gas stove .. induction
2. Automate the HRV and align with Ecobee Fan timing
3. Monitor changes
