Yes, the state is checked in the response handler.

Protection against double call, mostly from testing hooks which are not part of the series.

I hope no, the HW will reset eventually.

Not really, we want to know when it happens and from what flow.

Yes, there is an first internal ping that checks whether the feature is enabled
