andrew - i cannot say i’m seeing all the issues currently plaguing your setup, but i am able to confirm similar challenges with the barcode scanner not being recognized by the cart, but functioning in the search bar. for us, this happens after we shut everything down for the night and in the morning the scanner does not work, requiring forgetting / re-linking. this happened periodically about a month ago, but now is a nightly occurrence.
haven’t lobbed a call in to support just yet, but will do so to generate some visibility to the issue.
best,
john
