Reply To: Diagnostic query: Unexpected kernel panic on macOS Sequoia 15.1 after waking (1794697892)

The AppleThunderboltNHI + IOPlatformPluginFamily panic signature indicates a Thunderbolt/DisplayPort dock firmware race condition during the D3cold-to-D0 transition, where the NHI controller fails to re-enumerate the PCIe tunnel before the PMU asserts kIOPMPowerOn. Filter the unified log for the exact wake sequence via log show --predicate 'eventMessage contains "TBTDPC" or eventMessage contains "NHI"' --last 24h --style syslog to isolate the IOThunderboltController::waitForOk2Go2Sx timeout. Update the dock firmware using the vendor’s Windows/macOS utility, then force a deep SMC/PCIe reset (sudo pmu reset on Apple Silicon; Shift+Control+Option+Power on Intel) to clear stale ACPI _PRW mappings for the TBT port.
