+## FriiDump 0.5.3.9 live-summary closure
+
+The embedded GDR-8050L reference path returns finalized hashes, output size and
+sector count, title, media ID, and elapsed evidence to FriiDump. The final HLDS
+summary therefore describes the reconstructed output rather than the locked
+6,992-sector view. GC/Wii seed terminology is marked not applicable for this
+Xbox authentication path. DumpXboxGameDisc no longer spins the drive down
+internally; FriiDump performs one final STOP UNIT after Redump verification.
+
+## FriiDump 0.5.3.10 state-aware metadata-entry handshake
+
+The copied GDR-8050L bridge no longer performs the unconditional sequence
+`unlock -> tray cycle -> unlock` before title/XDVDFS probing.
+
+Normal entry paths are now:
+
+- already-unlocked entry: verify readiness, reuse the game view, and read title,
+ XDVDFS, media ID, and physical metadata;
+- locked/video entry: issue one full handshake directly, refresh/read capacity,
+ and continue only after the game view is observed;
+- recovery only: when direct verification fails, cycle the tray once, retry the
+ full handshake once, and fail cleanly if the game view is still absent.
+
+The dump itself still performs one intentional media transition to restore the
+locked/video view before VIDEO-L0 and VIDEO-L1 capture, followed by one full
+handshake for game/XDVDFS sectors. Therefore the expected normal cold-state
+sequence is `unlock -> metadata -> tray cycle -> video -> unlock -> game`, and
+an already-unlocked entry omits the first unlock.
+
+XDVD sidecar authentication evidence now distinguishes two separate facts:
+
+- `unlock_requires_media_transition: false`
+- `locked_video_view_restore_requires_media_transition: true`
+
+The compatibility field `requires_media_transition` is also `false`; it refers
+to authentication/unlock acceptance, not to restoring the locked video view.
