Model-aware diagnostics
Why model context matters in panic-full diagnosis
The same panic token can route to different assemblies across generations and even between variants in one family. The exact model is evidence, not a cosmetic label.
Copy the identifier from the log
Use the device identifier recorded in the panic-full. A marketing family name is not precise enough for connector, flex, bus or SMC sensor mapping.
What can change by model
- Sensor placement and flex assembly.
- Connector pinout and shared power rails.
- I2C endpoints and SMC sensor mapping.
- Compatible part revision and safe isolation order.
Use a confirmation-first workflow
Combine the exact model with the full panicString, every accompanying token and reversible bench tests. Do not transfer a component mapping from another family without evidence that the topology is compatible.
