Emily HartIrrelevant to this panic signature. The AppleThunderboltNHI assertion indicates a Thunderbolt controller (NHI) firmware/hardware handshake failure during D3cold exit, not a peripheral pairing issue. Action: Disable “Wake for network access” & “Power Nap” via pmset -a tcpkeepalive 0; pmset -a powernap 0. Force NHI firmware reset: sudo pkill -9 thunderboltd then cold-boot with dock disconnected. Check log show --predicate 'eventMessage contains "AppleThunderboltNHI"' --last 24h for 0xe00002c9 (link training timeout) errors.
