hil_test.py cannot run on Windows and never could: it imports helper.hil_lock,
whose module-level `import fcntl` is POSIX-only, so the harness fails at import
before a line of it executes. Past that it reads /sys/bus/usb, /dev/bus/usb,
/dev/serial/by-id and /proc, kills by process group, and takes flock board
locks -- none of which Windows has.

So the guards were protecting a platform the code cannot reach:

- run_cmd branched three ways on os.name to decide whether to set
  start_new_session and whether to killpg. The non-POSIX arm called p.kill()
  instead, which kills only the direct child -- exactly the semantics the whole
  containment design rejects, since a flasher run through a shell reparents out
  of reach. Dead code that documented the wrong answer.
- hil_test picked multiprocessing's default context on Windows "so it still
  IMPORTS there". It does not import there.
- test_device_audio_test_freertos returned 'skipped' on nt before touching
  ALSA, in a function only ever reached from a worker that cannot start there.
- Seven @unittest.skipIf(os.name == 'nt') decorators across the two suites.
  These were the only ones with a real effect -- the unit tests DO import and
  run on Windows, because they stub pyserial and mostly exercise pure logic --
  but what they buy is a partially-green suite for a harness that cannot run,
  and nothing verifies the set is correct: the hil-test hook only ever runs on
  ubuntu-latest, so a missing guard fails silently until someone tries.

Removing them makes the POSIX assumption single and explicit rather than
scattered and half-honoured. Nothing changes on Linux: every removed branch was
the one already taken there.

Removing the run_cmd guards also removes their `else: p.kill()` arms. Those were
the Windows branches, and p.kill() reaches only the direct child -- a flasher run
through a shell keeps grandchildren it cannot touch, which is the semantics this
containment design rejects. RunCmdCleanupShape pins what is left: both cleanup
paths killpg, no try carries an else whose body would run when the kill
SUCCEEDED, and the BaseException path still re-raises. Structural rather than
behavioural because driving a real SIGINT into a blocked communicate() is
timing-dependent, and what actually breaks this block is an edit that rebinds a
branch -- which is a shape.

<title>test/hil: run the HID echo in a child, which is the only bound that works (#3852)</title>

hid_generic_inout was the last unbounded blocking IO in the file. hidapi's
hidraw backend reads manufacturer/product via udev for each device reaching
create_device_info_for_device, both usb_string_attr served under the device
lock a wedged usbfs ioctl holds — and every DUT here is VID cafe, so a wedged
sibling stalls the walk.

A thread cannot bound it: cython-hidapi calls hid_open and hid_close bare
(0.15.0 hid.pyx), so they hold the GIL and the waiter can never resume.
Measured — a 1.0s bound never returned. run_cmd's killpg reaches a child
regardless; it gains an argv form for the -c body.

Filters on both ids: hidapi only runs the free uevent pre-check when ids are
passed (linux/hid.c:962), so an unfiltered walk sends every device straight to
the locked reads. Tests stall via ctypes.PyDLL, which unlike CDLL holds the
GIL — the shape a thread bound cannot cover.</content>

<title>test/hil: make main() readable and stop the suite sleeping (#3848)</title>

Three readability changes with no behaviour change on the healthy path —
every pre-existing test passes untouched.

main() was 368 lines with try/finally three deep, its two abort paths
near-identical 40-line blocks; _abort_report holds that shape once, and the
controller-hint cache and pool construction move to their own helpers.
368 -&gt; 279, test_board 180 -&gt; 151, test_device_usbtest 164 -&gt; 125.

test_hil_bounded.py cost 78s on every commit under test/hil/, mostly one 3s
post-flash settle paid by ten tests against a fake rig. Now 37s.

Fixes two pre-existing defects the extraction exposed: _write_failed_spec was
unguarded inside the abort path, so an OSError there replaced the caller's
RuntimeError and no report was written at all; _save_controller_hints overlaid
a startup snapshot onto the re-read cache, clobbering a concurrent job's newer
values. Also five comments that stated the opposite of the code, and both table
renderers measuring width with len() against two-column status marks.</content>

hil_report.json and hil_report.md were written independently. Four writers
produced the markdown and three wrote no JSON at all -- and those three are the
paths where a run died, so a JSON consumer saw nothing exactly when it mattered:
the per-board verdicts an agent hands back reported the whole fleet as "no
report row" while a human read the real story from the markdown.

Every writer now goes through render_report(), so a table can never contain
something the JSON does not. The document gains `scope` (a three-board PR run
and a full run that lost 24 boards were indistinguishable) and `caveat` (how the
run ended). `banner` carries rig health across an --accumulate retry; `caveat`
records how a run ended and must not -- conflating them made a clean retry
publish an abandonment that never happened.

helper/hil_report.py owns the document end to end, dissolving the import cycle
that forced write_timeout_report to compose its own markdown and removing a
duplicate cell classifier kept in sync by hand. hil_summary.py is deleted; its
CLI moves there. hil_ci.sh uploads the sidecar so a remote --accumulate has a

<title>hil: express a board's always-on defines as a variant, dropping build.args</title>

The roster had two ways to pass a cmake -D to a board's build: `build.args`,
applied to every variant, and `variant[].defines`, applied to one. They did the
same thing, and only metro_m4_express used the first - for MAX3421_HOST=1, which
is what makes it the one rig board that compiles hcd_max3421.c.

A board whose define is always on now carries a single variant named after itself,
which is exactly the shape `board.get('variant') or [{'name': name, 'flags': ''}]`
already synthesises everywhere - so the build dir, the HIL report row and the
variant-boundary handling are unchanged. raspberry_pi_pico has used that shape
for its flags all along.

Removes the BuildCfg type and the parallel code path from all four consumers:
hil_test.build_board, hil_pool_check's two builders, hil_ci_set_matrix and
ci_select.board_options.

Verified: the hil-build matrix entry is byte-identical
(`-b metro_m4_express -DMAX3421_HOST=1`), hil_test's build command is unchanged,
ci_select still selects the board for a max3421 diff with MAX3421_HOST in its
options, and a real build of dual/host_info_to_device_cdc and host/cdc_msc_hid on
that board still compiles hcd_max3421.c.

<title>test/hil, ci: contain a wedged USB stack instead of stranding the runner</title>

A wedged USB device used to take the whole HIL run with it. Every worker that
touched the poisoned node blocked uninterruptibly, the pool could not be joined,
map_async discarded every board's result, and the job ran to the GitHub ceiling
with no report at all -- while the self-hosted runner's single job slot stayed
occupied and every queued job waited behind it.

Bound the calls a worker makes itself. read_sysfs, bounded_open and run_cmd all
answer within a wall clock; read_sysfs distinguishes "absent" from "unknown",
because a blocked read is not evidence of absence, and caps stranded readers at
four (each costs a thread and an fd for the life of the process) after which the
worker declares itself blind. mtype, the gio unmount, the libmtp session and the
arecord/iperf reaps go through those bounds; the MTP session runs in a disposable
subprocess, since libmtp's ctypes calls block unkillably in D state.

Bound the run. A pool guard (HIL_POOL_TIMEOUT, 60 min) fires before any job
ceiling and still writes a report. When the pool will not shut down, the sweep
kills what the workers spawned -- descendants, not just direct children, since
flashers run in their own session -- confirms each kill actually landed, and
exits early so the runner is freed. Whatever survived is named in the report.

Deliberately shallow past that point. We do not re-scan process groups, prove
pid ownership, or escalate through sudo: a root-owned survivor is reported, not
force-killed, because signalling a pid we cannot prove is ours is the worse
failure, and the job ceiling backstops whatever this misses. A D-state holder
was never killable anyway.

Recover instead of reporting a wedge. A HUNG usbtest case reflashes its own DUT
through its roster flasher, but only where the flasher can reach its probe past
a poisoned node -- openocd pinned to a validated vid_pid, or esptool. Where it
cannot, the run says so rather than reserving budget for a path that cannot fire.

Raise the CI ceilings above the pool guard so the guard fires first and still
writes its report, and pin --retry 1 on every HIL leg: the guard is a flat
constant and does not scale with max_retry, so argparse's default of 3 would
triple the serialized usbtest tail against an unchanged guard.

Split the module: execution in hil_test/hil_flash/usbtest, infrastructure in
helper/ (locking, health, selection, shared bounded IO), and the two matrix
generators into .github/scripts/ -- ci_set_matrix.py sat in workflows/, where
GitHub treats every file as a workflow definition. 193 tests cover the bounded
paths, the kill ladder, the guard and the selector against synthetic /proc trees
and PATH-injected fakes; a real wedge cannot be manufactured on demand.

test/hil: one openocd flasher, per-board verify and firmware extension

The four WCH boards move to `openocd`, leaving one flasher for all.

`verify` is now a per-board opt-out, not dropped fleet-wide: WCH cannot read flash back
over the WCH-Link sdi transport; the other seven openocd boards can, and say so explicitly.

FLASHER_SUFFIX decides each flasher's extension once — find_firmware returns the full path
and the flashers pass it through, so a build with only the wrong artifact is skipped rather
than failed mid-flash. --skip-flash bypasses the filter.

rescue_openocd() power-on-resets a wedged RP2040/RP2350 via its Rescue DP from the flash
retry; the probe has no reset line.

Drops unused openocd_adi, stflash, wlink_rs and uniflash, parks the unstable ra6m5_ek, and
tests that every roster flasher name dispatches.</content>

hil, ci: scope HIL builds and tests to the boards a PR affects

Add test/hil/hil_select.py, a stdlib-only selector that maps a PR diff to the
rig boards, tests and BSP families a change can affect, and wire it into CI so
pull requests build and run only those. A port change picks its families' boards,
a class change picks the examples enabling that class, and device/host changes
prune the other role. Anything unclassified — infra, an unmapped port, a selector
error — falls back to the full matrix, and push/schedule runs are untouched.
Move the shared example lists to hil_examples.py; 54 hardware-free tests cover
the rules.</content>
