Research direction
Start with the linked discussion in oxidecomputer/omicron#9780, especially discussion_r2761034967, to understand the inconsistent requests between dueling nexus instances. Then locate dendrite's API request definitions and determine the generation-number semantics and affected request paths; done means the API can deconflict those inconsistencies.
