Pirs docking compartment lifetime
Huh?
You mean that the FGB-2 probe male docking adapter would be replaced
prior to launch with a hybrid male adapter? In that event, how would
FGB-2 dock with FGB-1? Remember that there is a firm requirement to
have a module docked at FGB nadir prior to the arrival of Node 3.

Of course, FGB-2 will first dock with FGB Nadir, via probe and cone,
and then magically transfer over to Service Module nadir's hybrid
port.
Or the Russians will replace FGB-2's probe and cone with a hybrid mechanism
before launch, just like FGB-1 had. No magic required.
