Use when kernel evidence shows stalled I/O, a power IRP, or completion/cancellation misuse; inspect request state and driver ownership. Not for interpreting an empty IRP search in a limited dump as proof of healthy I/O.

# IRP Lifecycle Triage
**Load `windbg-diagnostic-method` first** if it is not already loaded in this
conversation, and apply it throughout for evidence ranking, hypothesis testing,
confidence calibration, independent review, and report validation. This skill
adds the bug-family-specific commands and evidence requirements.
## Scope
Investigate I/O Request Packets in a kernel dump or authorized live kernel
session. Examples include `0x9F` power failures and hangs where progress
depends on a driver request. Apply the parameter table for the specific
bugcheck subtype rather than assuming every `0x9F` identifies the same object.
