On Linux + Chrome, the WebHID device handle can become stale after USB suspend/resume or transient disconnects. The write() method only awaited the initial openPromise, which was already resolved from the first successful open. Subsequent sendReport() calls on the closed handle threw InvalidStateError: The device must be opened first. Check _device.opened before each write and re-open if needed. Error: InvalidStateError: The device must be opened first Trace: HID.write (node-hid.ts) -> KeyboardAPI._hidCommand -> KeyboardAPI.flushQueue
