Self-consistent simulations reveal that reverse shocks in GRB photospheres stay radiation-mediated down to optical depths of a few tenths, with photons decoupling over a broad radial range and forming a quasi-thermal post-cursor.

PIC-motivated acceleration models for GRB afterglows predict a GeV-band synchrotron cutoff in low-density short GRBs that current Fermi-LAT data cannot distinguish from the Bohm limit but future observations could.
