docs(bugs): record the NetworkManager TAP-release root cause, repro and fix
A kernel-datapath link could die silently after a delete/recreate: on NetworkManager hosts, NM's state machine releases an NM-managed TAP from its bridge 58-87 ms after (re)enslavement (~50% while the tap has not been assumed yet; the port stays up, no GNS3 process logs anything). Root-caused with a server-free minimal harness (one uBridge, one tap, one bridge, an addif/delif loop) and a single-variable NM A/B; the NetworkManager side is explained by three of its commits (assumption recheck on external enslavement, master removal during activation, external changes not touching assumed slaves). Records: forensic signatures (ifindex unchanged, flags 0x300 cleared, heal-on-next-update), the reproducer, the verified host fix (unmanaged-devices conf.d snippet: 19-20/40 -> 0/40, and the e2e scenario green with test-side workarounds disabled), scope and history (2016 issue #440 veth incident; the 2026-10-01 ethernet-switch incident previously misattributed). Cross-linked from the L2-anchor spec and the switch feature doc.
