    1. Capture the exact failure state

      Reversible

      Name the failing app, network, account or location and one context that still works. Expected behavior: align, authenticate and charge at the supported rate without excess heat.

    2. Isolate the component boundary

      Reversible

      Remove the case, center the phone and test the puck with the specified adapter at room temperature. Swap only that context while keeping the device, line and connection settings unchanged. Boundary to separate: phone temperature and case alignment versus puck, adapter and outlet.

    3. Correct only the proven cause

      Reversible

      Replace the failed adapter/puck or use a compatible case and cooler location. Repair the isolated permission, app profile, carrier state or network boundary.

    4. Verify and stop safely

      Reversible

      Retest the previously failing and known-working mobile contexts after restart. Stop for swelling, burning odor, melted insulation or persistent overheating.
