Can you please check in Lenovo's BIOS setup if there is a sleep mode for
this platform? If there isn't that's fine, I want to confirm what
Lenovo actually presented before making further assumptions.
If there is such a setting, what options does it offer? If you change
it does the behavior change?
Furthermore if this issue is only happening when connected to the HDMI
port, that's the one connected to NVIDIA, right? Have you started a
conversation with them? Assuming the HPD theory that has been presented
is correct their driver should be in control of HPD behavior.

No worries; as long as I'm talking to a human about a problem not an
LLM, I'm fine to work with you to see what we can come up with for a
solution.
I've got various inline comments/questions below. Can you please
address them?
