Ordered OpenWrt One recently and updated from Snapshot to 24.10.4
Cannot determine what the problem is, after poweroff command in terminal router simply rebooting instead of powering off completely.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Unable to read logs as they overwritten every time at boot, maybe somehow troubleshooting is possible?
Maybe all other software components needs to be updated to 24.10.4?
Tried all 24.10.* releases, behavior is the same, factory reset does not help.
Or maybe it is expected bahavior.

Some routers go into some kind of "halt" but very unlikely there is a PC-style soft poweroff and WoL in an embedded device. Worth reporting a bug via github after checking snapshot (or 25.12-SNAPSHOT in few weeks)

### Describe the bug
I have several OpenWrt One and am running stock OpenWrt 24… .10.0, r28427-6df0e3d02a on them.
When I power down the device with the "poweroff" command, they power down as they should. But then after about 25 seconds they always restart.
This is how it looks like on the console (with timestamps added by tio):

I have seen on the schematics that the OpenWrt One has a watchdog IC populated, EM6324QYSP5B-2.8+. According to the datasheet this model has a 25.6 seconds watchdog timer. This time would match to the reset I'm seeing.
So could it be that the watchdog isn't disabled on shutdown?
### OpenWrt version

### Steps to reproduce
- Issue a "poweroff" command.
- Wait for the device to power off
### Actual behaviour

- but after about 25 seconds the device automatically restarts
### Expected behaviour
Shutdown and the device then stays off permanently.
### Additional info
