Description

When using Humility with a single USB probe, it takes many seconds between when a command is started and when it actually executes.

The only external USB things on my system:

Adafruit FT232H dongle for a UART
Keychron K10 Keyboard
ST-Link V3

Research direction

The report does not identify a source file, test, or entry point. Reproduce the delay when executing a Humility command on Windows with one USB probe, then trace the command execution path to isolate the wait. Done means commands execute without the reported multi-second delay and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression test.
