Apple Pencil Pro won’t connect iPad Pro M4 iOS 26.5

Admittedly, this will sound like purely an Apple product problem.
I have a 13 inch iPad Pro M4 and Apple Pencil Pro. Initially, the Apple Pencil connected immediately to the tablet and allowed me to make annotations in iGigBook. Exciting times.
Within a very short time, the pencil disappeared and refused to reconnect. The same pencil connects to other tablets.
I went to the Apple Store and was given a complete iPad replacement after diagnostics seemed to rule out a failure in the Pencil, although the tablet itself passed all diagnostics as well.
The replacement iPad was installed with iOS 26.5, and I restored my applications. I don’t have anything unusual on this tablet as I use it primarily for iGigBook right now.
As before, the Apple Pencil connected, and I thought I was back in business. Fast forward a couple of days, and the pencil is no longer recognized and refuses to reconnect. It is recognized and will connect to my wife’s iPad, which is exactly the same model and iOS version. I will, of course investigate a possible problem with the pencil itself once again. I am wondering if anyone else in this group has experienced similar symptoms, especially since the ability to annotate charts is one of the great features I want to use in this application!

Yes, this is a purely Apple product problem.
