A failed JBD read retried forever inside a client request and blocked every other device and client. The server now starts one polling thread for each device, and a request returns the last snapshot. Only the first request after startup waits, until each device completes one read attempt.
One lock makes sure that only one Bluetooth collection runs at a time. A serial BMS retries a failed read after 1 second and keeps its last snapshot for 30 seconds. An error in a collection does not end the polling of that device.
Serial paths and collector interfaces remain compatible. Bluetooth polling uses a 60-second cache and backoff. Offline Bluetooth devices no longer retry forever inside a client request. Invalid device specifications do not echo account IDs.
