Research direction

Start by reviewing the SGX calls for random-number generation and context creation or cleanup, then reproduce the reported pattern where early calls work and later calls fail. Capture the exact error value and relevant runtime or hardware details, and compare it with the SDK documentation. Done means identifying actionable diagnostic steps or confirming the conditions under which restart is required.
