probes (#3794)
test/hil: add board-pool health check, split hil_test into focused modules (#3794)
Add test/hil/hil_pool_check.py: per-board rig health scan — probe presence,
light-example flash (dfu_runtime; device_info + serial check for host-only
boards), uid re-enumeration, safe recovery (probe authorized-toggle, board
reset), verified board_test re-park, USB topology report, and a markdown
summary table. Missing firmware is built on the spot (tools/build.py, idf.py
for espressif, one get_deps retry); row statuses: ok, flash-failed, failed,
locked. Board locks are always respected, never bypassed.
Refactor hil_test.py into hil_lock.py (flock protocol, controller permits,
hold/release/status CLI; replaces board_lock.py) and hil_flash.py (flashers,
find_firmware, run_cmd). Update WCH probe uids and the board roster in
tinyusb.json; add the hil-pool-check skill.

Instruction-level trace outranks PC-sampling when samples cannot resolve a
mechanism, but the J-Trace is exclusive per-board hardware: the agent uses
it only when its prompt says the board is trace-wired or the user asked,
and otherwise proposes it in notes - mirroring the lock-force consent rule.

by board family
- esp-target-debug: de-narrated (~1000 -> 847 words) — session-diary phrasing
('this unit', dates, 'we measured') replaced with durable reference facts;
restructured per-board (P4 vs S3 notes); new Scripted-session gotchas
section consolidates telnet-halt pattern, ESP_ONLYCPU, and ROM-frame
guidance; UART-reset recipe stated once
- target-debug: fix run-on seam from the -singlerun insertion
- target-debugger agent: charter now resolves the board family FIRST and
routes Espressif boards to esp-target-debug as primary playbook; skills
table re-aligned
- retrieval regression: 4/4 (agent routing, S3 keep-alive quirk, OpenOCD RTT
on ST-Link, ROM-frame guidance)

rig-verified
P4 (hand-wired USB-SJ breakout, GPIO24/25 from header J1):
- COEXISTENCE verified: 303a:1001 + cafe:4008 enumerated simultaneously;
gdb attach/halt/bt during live CDC traffic; symbolized app backtrace
(tud_task_ext <- usb_device_task <- vPortTaskWrapper)
- set ESP_RTOS FreeRTOS before board cfg -> full dual-core task list;
without it, bare 'Remote target'
- attach-may-reset nuance flagged (post-mortem autopsy caution)
- console = UART0 (CP2102 flasher tty) on stock builds; D+/D- swap symptom
documented (low-speed + error -71 vs full-speed)
S3 (same-port PHY swap):
- boundary captured live in dmesg: same hub port flips 303a:1001 ->
cafe:4008 as the app boots; openocd 'esp_usb_jtag: could not find or open
device!' verbatim
- attach/halt/symbol resolution verified via board_test (usb_new_phy absent
from ELF when CFG_TUD/TUH=0); app-context keep-alive quirk (~4 s
unattended drop, -71 half-dead, UART esptool reset recovers); cpu1
OCD_ID=0 -> ESP_ONLYCPU=1; telnet-halt + gdb-read scripted pattern;
RTC_CNTL PHY-mux reference (0x60008120) + esptool read_mem/write_mem
- target-debug pointer + target-debugger agent table row
|
|
aligned columns
- target-debugger: skill list is now a table referencing skills by name only
(path pattern stated once).
- target-debug: probe-mapping run-on paragraph split into bullets; drop the
GDB Ninth-Edition caveat (calibre now holds the Tenth-Edition PDF, id 2264).
- Align markdown table columns across target-debug, usb-sniffer, usbmon, hil,
usbtest and the agent (7 tables); tables with paragraph-length cells left
unpadded (usbmon symptom map, usbtest case map).

table integration
- Vector catch + Cortex-M fault autopsy, verified with a deliberate bad-load
on stm32f407disco: CFSR=0x8200 (BFARVALID|PRECISERR), BFAR = exact bad
address, stacked pc addr2lined to the faulting line; gotchas recorded
(stale FPB comparators fire phantom SIGTRAPs — scrub first; arm DEMCR
after reset; loads precise / stores imprecise; ARMv6-M has no CFSR/BFAR)
- SWO exception trace + hw PC sampling gate PASSED on F407: 680 KB of
packets in 3 s (0x17 PC samples in flash range, 0x0E SysTick enter/exit);
JLinkSWOViewerCL decodes stimulus only — raw SWORead is the recipe;
SWOStart needs an explicit speed headless
- verifybin 'Verify successful.'; FreeRTOS -rtos plugin lists all 6
cdc_msc_freertos tasks after a run->stop cycle (plain attach = 0xDEAD
placeholder); semihosting anti-note; monitor-mode pointer (untested)
- Intrusiveness table gains the new rows; agent playbook bullet updated;
retrieval gate 5/5 with a fresh reader; executed plan committed

Rename usb-target-debug -> target-debug, usb-debug -> usb-kernel-debug,
usb-recover -> usb-kernel-recover (script filenames unchanged), and make all
debug skills/agents decide tool applicability by which end of the link runs
Linux: TinyUSB may run the device or host stack, and its peer may be a Linux
PC, another TinyUSB board, or a Linux gadget (e.g. Raspberry Pi UDC).
- usbmon: exists only when a Linux PC is the link's host
- usb-kernel-debug: either Linux end; allowlist gains dwc3/libcomposite/udc_core
for the gadget side of a Linux peer
- usb-sniffer: the only full-visibility capture when TinyUSB is the host
- target-debug: covers dcd_* and hcd_*/tuh_ debugging; channel choice by topology
- update target-debugger/hil-operator agents, pre-pr, hil-validate.js, and the
USB_RECOVER path constant in test/hil/usbtest.py
- CLAUDE.md: fold the dcd/hcd datasheet cross-check rule into the read-doc line

Opus-tier agent charter for backgrounding a long hardware debug session:
instrument -> build -> flash under one held board lock -> dual-side
capture -> correlate -> refine, strictly one instance, skills as source
of truth (usb-target-debug, usbmon, usb-debug, usb-sniffer, usb-recover,
hil). The charter encodes what dogfooding established:
- diagnosis standard: evidence must show the mechanism, or a fix must
flip the ORIGINAL failing case on hardware; stop after two
evidence-free cycles and hand back a partial diagnosis
- lock cadence: hold for the whole session, release around hil_test.py
runs (it self-locks per board)
- revert semantics: "fix stays, probe goes, re-verify clean" —
instrumentation reverted, candidate fix left uncommitted and
re-verified on a clean build, pristine firmware reflashed before
lock release
Returns a machine-parseable diagnosis report including ruledOut[] —
disproven hypotheses are deliverables. Spec roster updated (opus/xhigh,
effort requested per agent() call).

Confirmed by a 10-finder / 28-verifier adversarial review pass:
board_lock.py — the flock is now the sole authority: drop cmd_hold's
pid-liveness pre-gate (a live hil_test.py pool worker's stale record no
longer blocks a genuinely free board); cmd_release probes the flock and
only signals a verified holder, refuses to kill hil_test.py holders
(CI mid-test), handles PermissionError; the holder daemon truncates its
lock records on SIGTERM and keeps the success pipe clear of fds 0-2
(closed-stdio hold used to leave an orphan holder while reporting
failure); --config default resolves beside the script.
hil_test.py — truncate the lock record on per-board release (pool
workers outlive their flocks); warn instead of silently failing open
when the lock dir is unusable; error out on -b names absent from the
config (was a silent zero-test exit 0, readable as a green HIL run);
drop an emptied board row in accumulate_report (variant boards left a
blank ghost row).
workflows — remove the stray positional arg that made the validate size
stage exit 2 on every run; wrap JSON.parse(args) in all six scripts;
factor pr-babysit's drifted reply recipe into postReplyRecipe and dedup
refutation replies across cycles; validate args.pr and maxCycles;
driver-review rejects an empty dimensions list; hil-validate drops a
dead guard clause and retries diagnostics with -v -r 1.
agents/docs — port-dev scopes git clang-format to its own files
(concurrent workers reformatted each other in shared checkouts);
hil-operator/hil skill wording matches actual fail-fast output; the
implementation plan is now a DO-NOT-EXECUTE historical record (banner +
checked boxes) so plan-executing agents cannot revert shipped files.
Verified: lock storm 1-winner-in-10, stale-record hold, closed-stdio
hold, dead-pid cleanup, CI-holder refusal, ghost-row 4-scenario merge,
unknown-board exit 1, py_compile + check.sh on all six workflows,
pre-commit clean.

Review-fix batch (owner-confirmed) on the multi-agent harness:
- board_lock: detach holder stdio so a captured `hold` cannot hang on the
daemon's inherited pipe; probe locks by holder-pid liveness instead of a
momentary flock, which could spuriously fail a concurrent acquirer
(storm-tested: 1 winner in 10, 0/15 acquire failures under probe storm)
- hil_test: locked board renders a visible board-locked fail row so the
report matches the exit code; stale marker cleared on a real re-run
- pr-babysit: autoPush now opt-in (default dry run); resolve recipe
paginates reviewThreads; post-push resolve gets issue-comment fallback
- validate: size stage honors non-default base via --base-branch; pvs
stage delegated to the new agent
- new static-analyzer agent (sonnet): PVS-Studio SAST+MISRA for one
board, structured findings gated on files changed vs base

Add worker agents (builder, port-dev, driver-reviewer, hil-operator,
pr-monitor), deterministic workflows (validate, fanout-dev, driver-review,
hil-validate, full-check, pr-babysit) and a /pre-pr gate skill, so sessions
can fan build/test/review/PR-triage work out to tiered subagents. pr-babysit
drives a PR to green: triage CI + bot reviews, fix validated findings, verify,
push, and reply-to + resolve each inline review thread (fixed or refuted).
Replace the stop-the-runner HIL discipline with per-board flock locks:
test/hil/board_lock.py plus a fail-open guard in hil_test.py let CI and dev
sessions share the rig per board (locked boards fail fast and re-run;
HIL_NO_BOARD_LOCK=1 is a user-authorized bypass). The actions-runner is
never stopped.
Design spec, implementation plan, and real-rig smoke evidence under
docs/superpowers/.
