🛡️ Reminder about Parylene Unmasking Recommendations

Since several sensor cleavages have appeared after parylene operations, consistently along a line orthogonal to the connector axis, we suspect that mechanical stress applied during unmasking—particularly when removing the power connector mask—may be the cause.
