I am running into a persistent issue on my Apple Vision Pro 1TB running visionOS 2.0.1.
Whenever the machine encounters Optic ID secure enclave pairing timeout with optical insert QR data matrix, the following diagnostic log appears in Console:

VisionOS: [SpatialOptics] OpticEnclave insert UUID 0x5e2c handshake timeout: matrix checksum failed

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