Task-first reference

Trace an Ethernet or PoE connection

Keep modular/circular connector identification, link service and PoE source/load roles separate.

A represented network path is not proof of negotiated link rate, cable category, PoE budget or device interoperability.

Discovery is not a compatibility verdict.

These discovery surfaces route and reorganize facts already represented in the atlas. They do not add electrical ratings, universal pinouts, measured tolerances, exact-device support, wiring approval or an end-to-end compatibility result.
