I do not have anything remarkable to report.
When I get a day like that it feels like a major success !

As for the Active Logs, I do not see any difference in the logging while on route vs the logging while being prompted to make u-turns.
That is good. So far that is what I am seeing - which is different from what had been happening before. Something has changed. Just got to figure out what it was. But I'll know more after Friday.

The u-turn behavior was the same during all three tests. I never automatically prompted to skip the interim point that I diverted around. The only behavior that I felt should have been different was during test 3. Diverting around the shaping point meant that at some point I was closer to the next point (end point) than to the shaping point yet each recalc resulted in the XT routing me to the shaping point, even when I was twice as far away from the shaping point as the end point. Worthy of note though is that after many u-turn prompts, a recalc selected different roads back to the shaping point. Still, it was a shaping point. The XT should recognize it as such and recalc to the next point once it becomes closer.
Now - I was part way through writing an reply, and ran out of time. We had a trip into Ilkley planned, so I saved it as a draft. What I was about to say seems to have been proved wrong. I've written the detail of this in here

My testing report started 1 Nov 2022.
But for completeness. What I was going to say is this.
A 9 point route consisting of Vias and Shaping points, going from left to right : V1 S2 S3 S4 V5 S6 V7 S8 V9
What I believed before today:
If you start the route, Visit S2, the next point on the Zumo list is S3 and it will continue to try to get you there.
If you miss out S3 and rejoin before S4, initially the Zumo will route you back left to S3 - unless you turn right and rejoin the plotted route. Because you are on the plotted route it continues navigating ahead towards S4.
If you aim to rejoin the route between V5 and S6, then the same does not happen. You have rejoined the route in a different section, ie after a Via Point. The satnav will continue to try to get you to go back to S3.
This behaviour is what I understand from your description, and it does not surprise me.
What I saw today suggests something completely different is happening.
I feel pretty sure that this behaviour is new. Two things happened.
I had two routes
Route 1) V1 V2 V3
Went through V1. Deviated to miss out V2 rejoined the route between V2 and V3. The setnav let me continue ahead, and V2 was removed fromt he list of points to skip. These are Via Points . I thought that you had to visit Via Points even if you rejoined the route after the Via Point.
It seems as though this may not be the case.
Route 2. V1 S2 V3
I went through V1. Ignored the turn to S2. The XT plotted a route ahead and although there was an opportunity to do so, it did not try to plot a route to visit S2. Instead it rejoined the route between S2 and V3 and navigated me straight to V3.
S2 was removed from the list of points to skip.
Now this is defintiely different. I did notice 3 weeks ago that a route I was followng allowed me to rejoin the route without having visited the missed points. I had missed out a couple of Vias and a couple of Shaping points. It never asked me to go back, but I stopped near the end of the route and pressed Skip. It presented me with the first point that I had missed. Skip again, it presented me with the next point - even though I had visited it. In fact every single point in the route was still in the Skip list. Nevertheless it was navigating me forward along the route as if I had visited them.
But how this apparent change of behaviour has come about and when .... I can only speculate, which I had better keep to myself, 'cos I have no way of knowing for sure. PM if you want my thoughts on this.
