I am running into a persistent issue on my Apple Vision Pro 1TB running visionOS 2.0.
Whenever the machine encounters Spatial infrared sensor array calibration drift and thermal gradient near TrueDepth module, the following diagnostic log appears in Console:

SpatialBiometrics: [EyeTracking] Tracking confidence dropped below 0.65 - recalibration prompt triggered at delta T=4K

I verified that hardware connections are intact and tested across different power sources. What is the verified diagnostic procedure to permanently eliminate this symptom?
