Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, command, operating system, or reproducible configuration. Start by tracing PlatformIO Core's upload or port-diagnostic CLI flow and how available ports are discovered; define done as offering a detected alternative when the configured port is invalid, with tests covering the selection behavior.
