 - SAP to 239.255.255.255:9875 every 30 s, plus immediately on change; deletion packet on disable or shutdown.
   - Implemented (aes67_sdp_sap): SAPv1, payload type `application/sdp`, msg id hash = 16-bit hash of the SDP, TTL = aes67.ttl. The SDP is checked once a second; on a change the old hash is deleted before the new one is announced. Nothing is announced until a PTP GM is known (else ts-refclk would be all zeros). Shutdown deletion via `esp_register_shutdown_handler` (covers reboot and OTA).
-  - Not done yet: bumping session_ver on a GM change (needs a firmware-side config write; relevant once the device can become GM, step 6). A GM change already re-announces immediately with the new ts-refclk.
+  - GM change: aes67.session_ver is bumped (stored via `cfg_set_number`, without re-applying the aes67 group so the stream keeps running) and SAP re-announces within 1 s. The first GM after boot is not counted as a change.
 - Media 2 (ST 2022-7 redundancy): not possible on single-port boards like the ESP32-P4-ETH. Keep the schema open for a `mcast2`/`port2` pair on dual-NIC hardware (Riedel applies one PTP config to both Media 1 and Media 2).
