So, current plan is more stress-testing, then finally button it all

Hey, I used to do tech support for the dispatch systems used in 911
centers.  (And this wasn't script-monkey tech support, if it was a code
problem I was expected to correct the code and distribute the fix so it
could be applied as part of the next regular update.)  Sometimes that
kind of slow repetitive grind is how you get it done.

Something I learned pretty early in my career was that you get two types
of bugs, those that you almost know where the problem is straight away
and those that require a more methodical approach.

That's about my experience too.

The ones I really hated where when they turned out to be a problem with
the hardware.

Never really worked with hw but I'd imagine that would be really
annoying.
