Corne half no longer working?
I charged the my primary Corne half last night for the first time in several months. Today, it does not appear to turn on — if I either turn on the power switch or plug in power, the nice!view shows noise (i.e. a sparse random pattern of black dots), but it never resolves into the normal screen function (the fact this happens with no power cord says to me that it is properly getting power from the battery). I also do not appear to be able to enter it into the bootloader via double-tapping the reset button (have not tried the jumper option), which makes me suspect it may be a deeper issue with the nice!nano rather than just a non-functioning display.
Any tips for how to diagnose this further?

Left side stopped working after flashing
I just flashed some new firmware to my typeractive corne (I've done so many times!) but my left (primary) half is now in a seemingly broken state.
I can't get it to output any characters, either over USB or trying to switch to a previously-paired BT device. The nice!view displays an image, but it appears to be rendering once based on its boot state and not updating — if I insert or remove a USB-C cable, the charging status icon doesn't update, and similarly pressing a key that toggles a layer change doesn't update the layer name. The right half's display indicates it's not able to find a BT connection to the left half, assuming the right half is otherwise working properly.
It appears I can successfully get the device to re-enter boot mode, and if I try to re-flashing a previous known good firmware it acts the same as a successful flash (i.e. an OS filesystem error and the USB mass storage device disconnects), but completing that does not change the behavior.
Any tips for debugging?

Connectivity issues across halves?
I often use my Corne sitting on a bench, with each half sitting on the bench next to either side of me (often propped up in a Z tripod with magnets, but the issue I’m describing happens with or without that part of the setup). This historically hasn’t caused any issue, but today I’ve suddenly found my right half / secondary is having difficulty connecting to the primary left half while in this setup.
It definitely appears to be a signal attenuation issue, if I either bring them closer together or put them a similar distance apart without my body in between, they reconnect just fine. But it strikes me as exceedingly odd that this setup I’ve used countless times is suddenly giving me issues today.
Both are over 50% battery, and I’m connected to a host device I typically use without issue. When the right half isn’t connecting, the left half still has a fine connection to the host.
Any thoughts on what might be going on or suggestions to debug?

Color-matching purple FR4/case to MBK choc keycaps — lavender or violet?
Hi!
I'm considering buying a board + case from you in purple, and I'd also be looking at getting some MBK keycaps that match. Any sense of how closely the lavender vs violet keycaps match the purple of the FR4 or ABS case?
