docs: the forced kernel hang and the two measurements closed

CAMPAIGN-LOG: the forced hang on image 20260902144848 with its times,
the watchdog register read back, U-Boot's recovery branch (the purple
button), the recovery image on the lease, and the power cycle back; the
pad measurement dropped by decision. BRINGUP item 9: both measurements
closed; the pushes, the pins, one build and the campaign on that image
remain.

## 2026-09-02: the forced kernel hang, and the two measurements closed
The audit asked for two bench measurements with the pooled session. The
operator dropped the first, the reset-to-probe state of the 40 V enable,
heater enable, TEC enable and laser-enable nets at the connector during a
cold boot: the device tree carries the factory's pad configuration for
those pins, and the factory machine shows no trouble there; nothing to
measure.
The second was done: one forced kernel hang on image 20260902144848, the
machine idle and the laser locked. `kernel.panic` was set to 0 at runtime
(the command line's `panic=10` would have rebooted the kernel by a
software reset, which is not the path in question), then `c` was written
to `/proc/sysrq-trigger`. The panic spins with interrupts off, the driver
cannot feed WDOG1, and the timeout reset follows.
What happened, with the times: the board went silent at 22:21:27 UTC, two
seconds after the write. WDOG1 was armed at 60 s (WCR 0x771f: enabled,
external reset output on; read back from the register after the return),
so the reset came at about 22:22:27. U-Boot took its watchdog-timeout
branch (the button turned purple, the operator's observation) and, the
board being fused for eMMC boot, booted the factory recovery image, which
took the machine's lease and answered ping from 22:23:48 with no SSH. The
serial console showed nothing from the hang until the power cycle: the
recovery boot prints nothing there, and the purple button is the only
sign. A power cycle at about 22:26:05 (a power-on reset reloads the saved
environment, `boot_recovery=no`) booted ForgeFIRM from the SD slot again;
forgectrl came up, and WRSR read POR.
So the documented path holds: a hard hang ends in the factory recovery
after the 60 s watchdog, and a power cycle returns. The recovery page and
the storage page say now what the console does not show.
