What happened
LUBA 2 5000 stopped mid-task after losing its RTK connection, despite the RTK reference station's own light showing a normal green status, not an error state. Rebooting both the mower and the RTK unit twice did not resolve it1.
The identical symptom was reported the day before, with a workaround that resolved it: a full power-down of both units, removing the mower's key, removing the mower's "head" (top cover/sensor module), waiting 30 minutes, reassembling, and restoring the map from a backup2.
Why this is worth documenting even without a version number
Two independent, dated reports of the same symptom — RTK connection lost mid-task with no error indication on the RTK unit itself — plus a specific, repeatable workaround from one of them, is a useful known-issue entry even without a firmware version to attribute it to. If you're hitting this, a simple reboot may not be enough; the full power-cycle-and-remap sequence above is the only reported fix so far.
