However, how do we learn that the other side has triggered a reset?


USB PD specification, section 6.8.2.2 (Modal Operation and Hard Reset):

A Hard Reset shall cause all Active Modes to be exited by both Port Partners
and any Cable Plugs (see Section 6.4.4.3.4).

Section 6.4.4.3.4 (Enter Mode Command):

The following events shall also cause the Port Partners and Cable Plug(s) to exit all Active Modes:
- A PD Hard Reset
- The Port Partners or Cable Plug(s) are Detached
- A Cable Reset (only exits the Cable Plugâs Active Modes)

The class code would not explicitly learn about the reset,
but it would be informed about the exited modes.
