Follow Packet Pete as listening, retries, and relay work may drain a hill sensor before its own report does.
The hill sensor sends its fire report and relays two more.
Listening, retries, and relay work may drain it first.
Measure current and time on normal and blocked-link days.
Break one route, add traffic, and keep urgent action local.
