+## FriiDump 0.5.3.16-pf1 Linux Xbox DMI boundary correction
Candidate20 proved the complete Linux GDR-8050L Xbox command and data path:
direct SG_IO challenge delivery, both game-view transitions, XDVDFS metadata,
drive-captured game lead-in, partial GAME-XDVDFS output, controlled
cancellation, hashes, native reporting, and STOP UNIT.

-uses CDB byte 7 for the Format field. Candidate20 incorrectly wrote the format
-to byte 11 (Control), so DMI format `0x04` was not captured and the media ID
-remained empty.

## Candidate11 Linux Xbox parity baseline

Candidate11 begins the Linux parity campaign without replacing the validated
Windows/MSVC GDR-8050L path. The Windows copied-reference implementation remains
unchanged for challenge drives. Linux now uses the existing portable MMC/Xbox
