Research direction
Start in pycyphal/application/diagnostic.py at lines 179-190 and trace how DiagnosticPublisher handles consecutive messages. Reproduce two back-to-back messages and determine the expected delivery behavior. Done means consecutive messages are no longer dropped and the behavior has regression coverage.
