Last night I did all night extensive testing for meridian flip, for over 9 hours, at least a dozen flips and hundreds of photos: ZERO problems.
For me the problem is solved.
ps. remember I have a Touptek IMX585 cooled TS585CP.

hello jasem, it can't be a cable problem, just because even though you don't touch anything you just press stop and play on the capture module to resume regularly (at least in my case, it never disconnected my Touptek) after the meridian flip.
Yesterday I did some testing taking advantage of the full moon, it is possible that "pausing" the capture module and then resuming, gets stuck in downloading, this might make sense with the Flip, it is not the Flip that is the problem, and that between pause and resume in some cases you get stuck in "Downloading..."
I'm curious what bug you found though (point out a piece of code as well ).

Use the scheduler untile time (look at my image before), but you need to know the hour in whitch MF is due.

Exactly the same for me "Downloading..." stuck, I press "stop capture" and can continue (I didn't have the patience to wait for the camera driver to crash yet).
The first time, I only noticed it in the morning, everything else seemed to still work.

We can use this workaround, example M78 capture only 15 minutes before FLIP, and restart 15 minutes after, so align is not triggered, night goes ok! 300 capture without a problem.
So I can confirm that there is a problem, with ALIGN & CAPTURE stuck in downloading after a Meridian Flip.

After 3-4 hours of capture without problem, I have also problem with "Downloading..." stuck after a meridian flip, stopping it and I can continue to capture.
So problem comfirmed also with Touptek driver updated (IMX585 cooled) and Star Adventurer GTi.

So software doens't know if the image if mirrored? Touptek driver doen't specify the correct way to display image?
In FITS file there is a ROWORDER parameter.

Images that came from Touptek camera in FITS viewer is mirrored Top-Down, I can't mirror it in INDI properties (there aren't any MIRROR VERT or HORIZ like ZWO), but I don't know why Siril remirror it, so Image is correct in that program.

Ok, on mirroring and rotaion.
Using Stellarium I can see true Up from my location.
Images from stellarium and Siril are not mirrored (I can see using inclination of M82 and rotation of the branch of M81)
In FITS viewer image is incorrectly Mirrored.
