Pinging will not help as long as the code is not clear and simplified.
I honestly think the PID should be retrieved earlier in the HCI part
and that would solve most of your issues.

Otherwise if that is not possible I still find hard to understand the
big picture, the comments and the code. I've already spent quite a bit
of time trying to improve it with you, but the logic is still a little
bit too specific and complex from my point of view.

It should not be the case. Hot-join should work without the devices
having all the time the preferred address. If hot-join really does
not work, then please split the series with the "preferred address"
handling being done apart in a second series.

Thanks,
