This looks to me like you are chasing down a new rabbit hole every time
I open one of your emails. I'd suggest you take a step back from all
the stuff you seem to be trying without having a firm grasp on how to
observe or report reproducibility. Have you tried out sthen@'s advice
to check old kernels + snapshots[1]? I may have missed your response to
this. You wrote that you rarely got the issue prior 17-May-2024? If
that *is correct*, then you should be able to bisect using the snapshot
archive around what date things change.

I am highlighting *is correct* above because your issue seems to be
unpredictable enough that a few minutes of testing don't mean anything.
I suggest you try to find a *clear difference*, meaning between a
snapshot where no reboot happens for ideally a whole day of use, and
the next one where it clearly happens very quickly (and reproducible
at least a second or third time).

Your reports also make me wonder how much customization you are
running. You've mentioned at least compiling custom kernels and
setting bsd.re-config. It's easy to find yourself in virtually
unsolvable scenarios by configuring too much. It might be best to try
a clean install, ideally without activating xenodm/X11.
