In chained-NIC T-GM/T-BC topologies, a non-leading DPLL losing lock must degrade the composite clock to FREERUN (S0). Previously the clock incorrectly reported HOLDOVER (S1) because:

  1. UpdateState() gave HOLDOVER priority over FREERUN
  2. The event package had no leading vs non-leading DPLL awareness.
  3. stateDecision() used source-specific branches (GNSS/PPS/PTP4l) that don't reflect actual topology in multi-NIC configs. Changes:
  • Fix UpdateState() priority (stats.go)
  • Add hasNonLeadingDPLLFault() to detect follower faults when the leading DPLL is still locked (event.go)
  • Apply to both T-GM (updateGMState) and T-BC (updateBCState) paths
  • Refactor stateDecision() HOLDOVER branch: unify GNSS/PTP4l under hasLeadingSource(), non-leading DPLLs go directly to FREERUN
  • Add leader-follower matrix state tests (stats_test.go)
