It appears I have two or more simultaneous issues to resolve. The more difficult debugging task, rats!
Point: As I have been unsuccessful at completing an upload, it would not be yet possible to learn that a line(s) of code are corrupting the upload process.
An interesting Catch-22
Now that it has been made clear that code can execute before uploading is complete and possibly cause an IDE error, I'll start with that. Never occurred to me that upload could become corrupt from a static code file.

There is only one hyper link on an unrelated topic 'code is lost on power up' in

FYI Typing in search the most obvious term 'uploading' returns no results
Thought: When flashing new firmware, is the entire chip erased similarly to a format command, or are the contents of the Flash portion remain in tact, similarly to how the bootloader remains untouched?
