10 daysci_select: fix the membrowse test's env dependence, and stop HIL unit tests ↵Ha Thach
taking the rig (#3846) test_the_upload_board_can_diverge_from_the_built_board called get_family_boards without ci=True, so it pinned the developer's set, not the runner's: the CI skip lists move the one-first pick on three families. It held locally and went red on its first CI run. Pass ci=True, as _prune_buildable already does, and pin the runner's twelve. Rule 2 is a bare test/hil/ prefix, so the harness's own unit tests booked the full 27-board rig for diffs that cannot reach it. Carve test/hil/test/** out to rule 1b, beside test/{fuzz,unit-test}/**; the harness itself is untouched. A test pins that directory's file list, so anything added there that the rig does read fails rather than silently skipping hardware. Rule table updated in the spec and its carbon in the docstring.
10 daysci: an empty selection must build nothing, plus selector follow-ups (#3845)Ha Thach
ci: an empty selection must build nothing, plus selector follow-ups A PR whose build axis legitimately selected nothing rebuilt everything. build.yml reads .build.families twice - as a |-joined regex, and implicitly as "is anything selected" - but tested only -z "$FAMILY_REGEX", which an empty list and a charset-rejected one both satisfy while meaning opposite things. ci_set_matrix had already returned the correct all-empty matrix; the fall-open branch discarded it. #3842 and #3840 each spent 74 cmake legs on it. Branch on the two cases instead, rename FAM_* to FAMILY_*, and cover the block with a test that extracts it from build.yml and executes it - it had no test at all, which is how this shipped through two merges. Follow-ups to the same machinery: glob.escape the repo root at five sites, so a checkout path containing [ or * stops failing closed; drop the ci-full label, read after the matrix was already computed and so never functional; delete 13 mcu:MKL25ZXX / mcu:SAME5X skip tokens matching no board; carry the rule table in the module docstring, guarded against drift; and pin six selection behaviours a mutation pass proved untested. Cut the selector's cost 1.8x (26.0s -> 14.6s) with 0 divergences over 260 paths, and stop scoping the membrowse upload by the PR example filter.

ci_select: classify the files that were reaching rule 17
12 daysci_select: address Copilot review - anchor _META_RE, cover rule 12bhathach
Anchor the .github file alternatives. FUNDING.yml, labeler.yml and membrowse_pr_message.j2 sat inside a group whose only `$` belonged to the workflows/ branch, so they matched as prefixes: .github/labeler.yml.bak and .github/FUNDING.yml.old were classified as metadata and would have selected nothing. No such file exists today - the workflows/ alternative was already anchored and ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ is a directory prefix on purpose. Rule 12b had no test of its own: TestNoTrackedFileIsUnclassified only proved src/typec no longer reaches rule 17, not that the answer is right. TestTypecRule pins it - non-full, every selected example under typec/, all four src/typec files answering alike, no rig board, and the set derived from CFG_TUC_ENABLED rather than hardcoded, so it follows a new typec example on its own. Verified all four fail with rule 12b removed.
13 daysbuild_utils: key the caches on the tree, not just the argumentshathach
The eight lru_cache layers take repo-RELATIVE paths - 'hw/bsp/<fam>', 'examples/<ex>/skip.txt', the literal 'hw/bsp' glob - while ci_select._in_repo() chdirs around every call so one process can classify more than one tree. With no cwd in the key the second tree gets the first tree's answers. Reproduced: skip_example('host/bare_api','metro_m0_express') is False at the repo root and STILL False after chdir into a tree where that board does not exist; only cache_clear() gave the right answer. It bites the code-size skill's base-vs-branch worktree compare, /pre-pr, and the first test that points classify_build at a fixture tree. Master had no caching here, so the hazard arrived with it. _cwd_cache puts os.getcwd() in the key. The 199-test suite passed before only because every test happens to pass the real REPO; the new TestCachesAreKeyedOnTheTree crosses trees deliberately. Also adds the drift guard the class rule was missing. Ports, hw/mcu, get_deps tokens and bsp families each have one; the class rule had only a comment claiming vendor_host.c was the sole "enabled by no example config" case until its removal - which src/class/bth falsifies today. TestClassesWithNoEnablingExample pins the set to {bth}, so a class added before its first example, or an example config flipped to 0, fails here instead of silently selecting nothing on both axes. Verified it fires by adding a class dir nothing enables.
13 daysci_select: classify the 254 files that were reaching rule 17hathach
Rule 17 (unclassified -> full on both axes) is the fail-open net for paths nobody anticipated, and it must stay that way: a wrong `full` costs runner minutes and is visible in the run, a wrong `empty` costs a merged regression and is invisible. But nothing in the tree should REACH it, and 254 tracked files did. The cost was real. PR #3842 changed a skill, a README and .gitignore; .gitignore matched no rule, so both axes went full and 74 cmake legs span up runners to do checkout + toolchain + get_deps before skipping the build, plus the whole 30-board rig. Three changes, none of which touch rule 17 itself: 1. _META_RE - repo metadata and tooling no Build step reads: .gitignore, .gitattributes, .clang-format, .codespellrc, .pre-commit-config.yaml, .readthedocs.yaml, .PVS-Studio/, .idea/, sonar-project.properties, the packaging manifests, CMakePresets, udev rules, test/{fuzz,unit-test} (their own jobs build those), the non-build .github/ files, and the tools/*.py scripts no build invokes. Deliberately NOT included, and still full: .circleci/**, .github/workflows/build*.yml, .github/actions/**, .github/scripts/**. The line is "does a Build step read this", not "is it source". 2. Rules 15 and 16 now match what they already claimed. Row 15 names examples/<role>/CMakeLists.txt and the regex never had it; row 16 says tools/build*.py but anchored tools/build\.py$. Both got the right answer only because rule 17 caught them on the way past. Also names their siblings - family_support.mk, family_rules.mk, src/CMakeLists.txt, src/tinyusb.mk - and .circleci/**, which generates the whole CircleCI matrix and was in no row at all. 3. src/typec/** gets row 12b. It is listed unconditionally by both build systems but its body is `#if CFG_TUC_ENABLED`, which only examples/typec/power_delivery sets - the same shape as the class rule, so the same answer: the examples that enable it (stm32g4 and stm32u5 after the buildability prune), and nothing on the rig, which runs no typec test. It was force-fulling 82 families and all 30 boards. TestNoTrackedFileIsUnclassified walks every tracked file and asserts none reaches rule 17, on both axes - 254 -> 0. Verified it fails when a new unclassified path appears. That turns 17 into what it should be: unreachable for anything in the tree, so it fires only for genuinely new shapes, and the author is told to write the row rather than letting the fall-through pick an answer for them. test_full_paths used sonar-project.properties as its stand-in for "unclassified"; that is now metadata, so the case moved to the new test_repo_metadata_is_not_a_build_input, with test_the_build_machinery_is_still_full pinning the other side of the line.

ci: scope the build matrix and HIL run to what a PR affects
13 daysexamples: keep CFG_TUH_VENDOR 0 in tusb_config.hhathach
Removing the obsolete host vendor driver also dropped the `#define CFG_TUH_VENDOR 0` line from the six example configs that carried it. Put it back: host vendor is coming, and the configs are where a reader looks for the set of host classes an example can turn on. Restored byte-identical to the pre-removal state, each file keeping its own column alignment. The define is inert today - nothing under src/, hw/ or tools/ reads CFG_TUH_VENDOR - and it is 0 everywhere, so ci_select still reads the vendor class as enabled by no example and a change to it still selects nothing. Note the option's default in src/tusb_option.h is still gone; implementing the driver will need that back alongside the usbh driver-table entry.
14 daysci_set_matrix: fall open when no selected family builds anywherehathach
family_list maps a family to the toolchains that build it, and seven hw/bsp families are in neither: cxd56, efm32, espressif, f1c100s, pic32mz, py32f0, same7x. Scoping to one of them intersected to nothing, so every toolchain key was [], every cmake leg skipped on `if: inputs.build-args != '[]'`, code-metrics took its no-metrics branch, and the PR went green from a build job that ran no compiler. The only signal was a stderr line nothing greps for. Not a coverage regression - master gave the same diff no compile coverage either, since none of the other families compiles same7x's board.h. What is new is that the gap used to be masked by the full matrix and is now the whole answer, and that green now means "ran no compiler" rather than "compiled 64 families". A selection whose families ALL miss is now unusable rather than empty: it prints UNSCOPED, which build.yml and .circleci/config.yml already grep to drop the build extras with it, and emits the full matrix. The two neighbouring cases keep their own answers - an explicit families: [] is still a legitimate nothing-selected, and a partial miss still scopes to the families that do build, noting the rest. The contract test pinned an exact count of fall-open markers, which this would have broken; it now pins the invariant (every message that emits the full matrix carries the marker) and was checked to still fail when a marker is removed. Also corrects the drift guard's note about espressif: hil-build-esp builds its boards by name, but that job is gated on repository_owner, so on a fork an espressif-only PR builds nowhere.
14 dayshil: express a board's always-on defines as a variant, dropping build.argshathach
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.
14 daysci: fix nine ways the selection under-selected or mismatchedhathach
Every one of these dropped coverage silently - the worst failure mode here, because the PR still goes green. Found by review, each reproduced first. Selection rules: * class_macros derived the config macro from the class DIRECTORY, so a change to src/class/midi/midi2_device.c selected the midi_test examples (which do not compile it) and never examples/device/midi2_device (the only one that enables CFG_TUD_MIDI2, and the only one that does). The file's own macro is unioned in where it differs - union, never replace: over-selecting costs a build, under-selecting merges a break. * the ${FAMILY_MCUS} fallback added for espressif fired on any family whose _family_mcus came back empty, and _cmake_sets is if()-blind and keeps the FIRST definition - so mcx/frdm_mcxn947 answered MCXA15, a token six examples' skip.txt names, dropping 12 firmware images CMake builds. Limited now to families that never spell set(FAMILY_MCUS ...) at all. * lib_examples read only an example's top-level CMakeLists.txt/Makefile; host/msc_file_explorer_freertos names lib/embedded-cli in src/CMakeLists.txt and survived by luck. The whole example tree is scanned. (SEGGER_RTT and rt-thread still resolve to nothing: all three references sit inside a LOGGER=rtt guard no CI build sets - the documented ruling, not a miss.) * get_family_boards applied ci_skip_boards/ci_preferred_boards only under GITHUB_ACTIONS/CIRCLECI, so the selector answered differently on a laptop than on a runner; _prune_buildable forces CI semantics. Its one-board pick also abandoned the whole preferred list when entry one could not build the -e set, and asked skip_example without the build's -D tokens. * _config_enables and lib_examples still read with the locale encoding - under LC_ALL=C the selector tracebacked on three tracked tusb_config.h files. The whole selector and its suite run clean there now. Workflows: * the Membrowse Upload step omitted $EX_ARGS, but --one-first now picks the board from the -e set, so it configured a different, empty build dir and uploaded --identical for a board never compiled. It takes $EX_ARGS for the BOARD; the target stays the aggregate, which has no DEPENDS and still records every example. * blanking FAM_REGEX reset only build_filtered, leaving the build scoped while code-metrics took the UNSCOPED branch and diffed a 1-family run against the full averaged baseline. All three drop together now, as CircleCI's fall-open does. * CircleCI's EX_ARGS had no character screen and is used unquoted, and its code-metrics job still exit 1'd on an empty metrics set - which a scoped build makes a legitimate outcome. * a `ci-full` PR label now turns the scoping off for one PR. A selector bug under-selects silently, and without a label the only ways back to a full matrix are accidental. Performance, since the selector gates every other job: family.cmake texts are read once rather than per changed directory (a 6,000-file dep bump re-read 84 files 99,892 times) and _scrape_mcu is cached: 2.2s -> 0.29s there, 0.8s -> 0.33s on a class diff. Tests: a drift guard for hw/bsp families absent from ci_set_matrix.family_list (they select zero legs now, where they used to ride the full matrix); the rule-4 port test asserted a SUBSET, which set() satisfies, so it could not fail on the empty selection it exists to catch; the GITHUB_ENV guard test counted a SUM of two guards. Drops metrics.py's --only-examples, which nothing called, and applies the TOTAL scrub to the by-example branch that skipped it.
14 daysdocs: record the CI selection design and its planhathach
The binding rule table (17 rows x 3 answer columns), the measured effect per PR shape, and the reasoning behind the parts that look surprising: why empty means empty, why hw/mcu and lib are rules rather than full-matrix paths, why get_deps.py is diffed as data, and which build system is the reference. The plan is the task-by-task record of how it was built, kept as the origin trail.
14 daysci: scope the build matrix and the HIL run to what a PR affectshathach
Every PR built all 74 legs (2494 example builds on GHA cmake alone) and flashed all 30 rig boards, whatever it touched. One classifier now walks the PR diff twice and answers three questions: which families to build, which examples per family, and which boards run which tests. Fail-open throughout - anything no rule classifies, any exception, any unusable output falls back to the full matrix, and a master push always builds everything. test/hil/helper/hil_select.py moves to tools/ci_select.py: it is no longer HIL-only, and tools/ is where the build side can import it. test_hil_select.py follows it as test_ci_select.py. Rules (docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-19-ci-build-family-filter-design.md holds the full table): a port selects the families whose family.cmake references it, and its role - a dcd change skips host examples and vice versa; a class selects only the examples whose tusb_config.h enables its CFG_TU[DH]_ macro, following cross-class includes; an example selects itself; hw/bsp selects its family or board; hw/mcu and lib select whoever references them. CMake is the reference for all of it - make follows whatever cmake decides, family.mk is never scanned. Empty means empty (maintainer ruling): a rule that classifies a path to nothing selects nothing. Ports no family references, classes no config enables, libs no example builds and hw/mcu paths that resolve nowhere are all real - nothing compiles them, so nothing can validate them, and the master-push build is the net. Structural tests pin each such case with an explicit allowlist, so the day one stops being empty it fails pre-commit instead of silently narrowing CI. Per-example builds: build.py grows a repeatable -e, resolved against the targets CMake actually registered and batched into one `cmake --build --target a b c`. build_utils mirrors CMake's family_filter (the whole FAMILY_MCUS list, ${...} and string(TOUPPER ...) resolved) for the cmake side, while the make side keeps master's algorithm verbatim - the two build systems answer differently and a shared answer breaks lpc54's make link. hil-build gains this even on a full selection: 1702 example builds become 515. Transport: the selection travels as a file, never an argv or env var - a mass-sweep diff selects 261 KB against a 128 KiB exec limit, and E2BIG would fail the step before its own fallback could run. CircleCI carries the example map inside the generated config (pipeline parameters cap at 512 chars), swapped into the parameter defaults by sentinel match, and drops the scoping wholesale if that rewrite fails. Every PR-derived value written to $GITHUB_ENV/$GITHUB_OUTPUT is character-screened. Code metrics follow the scoping: metrics.py emits per-example totals, and metrics_pair_compare compares the (board, example) pairs present on both sides instead of a scoped run against a full-matrix average. The selector's own suite gates it in both providers: a selector that exits 0 with valid-but-wrong JSON is the one failure fail-open cannot catch, so a red suite means the full matrix.
14 daysget_deps: correct two family tokens that matched nothinghathach
get_deps matches a family token against a requested family name verbatim (`f in deps_optional[d][2].split()`), so a token naming no hw/bsp directory makes its entry unreachable: hw/mcu/allwinner said 'fc100s'; the family is hw/bsp/f1c100s, and f1c100s/family.cmake sets SDK_DIR to ${TOP}/hw/mcu/allwinner/f1c100s hw/mcu/sony/cxd56/spresense-exported-sdk said 'spresense' (the SDK's name); the family is hw/bsp/cxd56, whose family.cmake points SDK_DIR at it `python3 tools/get_deps.py f1c100s` and `... cxd56` now fetch the SDK each of those families builds against; before, both printed "no additional dependencies found". docs/reference/dependencies.rst is generated from deps_all by tools/gen_doc.py, so it is updated to match - column widths are unchanged (the widest cell is lib/CMSIS_5's, untouched) and every row was cross-checked against deps_all.
14 daysexamples: restore host builds on samd2x_l2xhathach
Nine examples/host/*/only.txt gate on family:samd21, but 2a8811ebb merged the samd2x and saml2x BSPs into hw/bsp/samd2x_l2x. skip_example takes `family:` from the directory name, so since that rename every one of these examples has been skipped on every board of the family, under make as well as cmake - although hw/bsp/samd2x_l2x/family.cmake wires src/portable/microchip/samd/hcd_samd.c. 107 host firmware images were being compiled nowhere. The merged family is wider than the old samd21 one, so three boards need an explicit skip rather than the rename alone: atsaml21_xpro, saml22_feather, sensorwatch_m0 - not samd21, so hcd_samd.c is not compiled for them (previous commit); SAML22 has no host controller at all curiosity_nano - SAMD21 with 16 KB RAM; msc_file_explorer_freertos overflows it by 3688 bytes (ram 122.51%). Only that one example; the other eight fit. Verified across the whole family: cmake 11 boards x 9/9 examples + curiosity_nano 8/9, three boards skipped, 0 failures; make 98 OK / 0 failed (was 98/9 before). Device examples on saml21 and saml22 are unaffected.
14 dayssamd2x_l2x: build hcd_samd.c for samd21 only, as family.mk already doeshathach
family.cmake listed src/portable/microchip/samd/hcd_samd.c twice: once unconditionally, and once inside `if(SAM_FAMILY STREQUAL "samd21")` under the comment "Add HCD support for SAMD21 (has host capability)". The unconditional copy defeated the gate, so cmake compiled the host controller driver for saml21 and saml22 while family.mk compiled it for samd21 alone - and SAML22 has no host controller at all (hcd_samd.c fails there with `unknown type name 'UsbHostDescriptor'`). Nothing built the host examples on this family, so the divergence was invisible; the next commit makes it matter.
14 daysvendor: remove the obsolete host vendor driverhathach
vendor_host.c/.h implemented a CFG_TUH_VENDOR class driver that no example, board or test ever enabled: usbh's driver table entry was compiled out everywhere, and the six tusb_config.h files that mentioned the macro all set it to 0. Maintainer call - dead code, not a shrinking of supported classes. Removes the sources, the usbh driver-table entry, the CFG_TUH_VENDOR default in tusb_option.h, the tusb.h include, both build-system source lists, the rp2040 family.cmake entry and the IAR project template rows.

hil: one-run scheduling with JSON result handoff; audit and correct the .claude instruction surface
2026-08-20hil: address Copilot review — loud extraction markers, exit-visible ↵hathach
variant warnings The workflow-logic harness slices hil-validate.js between marker strings (the body is not a module; the runtime wraps it, so markers are the only handle). A renamed marker used to produce a garbage slice and a confusing ReferenceError; it now fails naming the missing marker, proven by mutating the marker and watching the message. The variant-warning loop in hil_ci.sh read variant_names through a process substitution -- the exact exit-status blindness the comment in resolve_build_dirs warns about, two functions earlier in the same file. A plain command-substitution assignment is visible to set -e, so a malformed roster now aborts instead of silently skipping the warnings.

2026-08-20hil, docs: reference toolchains by their official env vars, not one rig's pathshathach
~/code/pico/pico-sdk and $HOME/code/esp-idf/export.sh are the ci rig's private layout; written into instructions they silently stop being true on tusb, a dev PC, or any future rig. The docs now use the variables the vendors define -- PICO_SDK_PATH for the Pico SDK and IDF_PATH for ESP-IDF, activated explicitly as `. "$IDF_PATH/export.sh"` -- and leave where the checkouts live to each host's profile. The variables are only useful if the shells that agents actually get can see them, and `ssh <rig> 'cmd'` is non-interactive AND non-login: it reads no profile, and Debian's sshd-sourced ~/.bashrc returns at the interactive guard before most of the file. The ci rig already keeps its exports in the section ABOVE that early-return; IDF_PATH now sits there beside PICO_SDK_PATH, and the whole chain is verified from a plain non-interactive ssh: both variables visible, `. "$IDF_PATH/export.sh"` activates ESP-IDF v5.5.3 with idf.py on PATH -- no login shell, no alias, no hard-coded path. hil-pool-check documents that placement so the next rig is set up the same way.
2026-08-20docs: hand off unifying the HIL report's two artifactshathach
Four writers produce hil_report.md and three of them write no JSON - the no-boards exit, the pool-guard fallback and _abandon_exit's text prepend. Those are exactly the runs that failed, so hil_summary.py, which builds an agent's per-board verdicts from the sidecar, sees nothing while a human reading the markdown sees the real story. The scope note is markdown-only too, so a three-board PR run and a full run that lost 24 boards are indistinguishable in JSON. Five tasks: put scope in the sidecar, render the markdown from the document, give the two early-exit paths a document, make _abandon_exit set a caveat field instead of prepending to a file it did not write, then pin the invariant that re-rendering the JSON reproduces the markdown byte for byte. Split out because it is a hil_test.py reporting refactor, and the abandon path runs while the interpreter is being torn down - it deserves its own review.
2026-08-20docs: spec, plan and outcome of the .claude instruction-surface audithathach
Nothing checked the agents, workflows and skills against the code they describe, and the surface had drifted into stating incompatible rules. This records the protocol that found the defects and what it cost. Method: parallel subagents extract every falsifiable claim into JSONL ledgers; a validator re-reads each cited line and rejects any ledger whose quoted text is not there, so an extractor that paraphrases or hallucinates fails a script rather than reaching the verification queue - 1,387 claims, zero such failures. Verification runs only in the main session, and the same gate pointed at `citation` then checks the verifier's own work. Hard-earned evidence is source of truth: code is authoritative about code, experience about hardware, so claims get a fourth verdict, EARNED, and "no backing found" is never grounds for deletion. All 1,387 claims carry a verdict; the behavior sweep deliberately never emits CONFIRMED from a token match, because finding a claim's vocabulary proves presence, not truth. Every real defect came from cross-document comparison - none from any mechanical pass. A path-existence lint was built, measured (11 flags on the audited tree, all false positives, and the target defect is lexically identical to correct text elsewhere), and rejected; recorded so nobody rebuilds it.
2026-08-20skills, CLAUDE.md: correct instruction claims the source refuteshathach
Findings from an audit of the .claude instruction surface: 1,387 falsifiable claims extracted with a quote-gate (zero hallucinated), each verdicted against the code, the kernel at the rig's running version, or the rig itself. Only claims the current source actively refutes were touched; hard-earned rig knowledge stands as source of truth. usbtest told operators to stop the actions runner before touching hardware. Every other file forbids exactly that since the per-board flock landed - following it stops CI on a shared rig. Twice in the same file it said hil_test.py serializes usbtest batteries; hil_lock.py budgets 2 concurrent per host controller, a profiled throughput trade rather than a safety ceiling - while the recorded hazards stay: an unbudgeted battery has hard-frozen the rig through a VFIO xHCI PCIe error, and a marginal DUT port bouncing under concurrent batteries has killed a uPD720201 outright, which lowering the widths does not fix. It also cited src/usb_descriptors.h and src/tusb_config.h as if repo-relative (they are the example's own, and the comment sat above the cd that establishes the base) and presented usbtest_do_ioctl() and tools/usb/testusb.c as repo files when both are Linux kernel. usb-kernel-recover called the Renesas ppps "real per-port" in its rig layout while saying four sections earlier that VBUS stays up. Both describe the same silicon and only the second was right: owner-confirmed, the cards advertise ppps and do not implement it, so a root cycle is purely a re-enumeration - both places now say so and warn against reading uhubctl's flag as power control. The layout listed three cards; the rig has five (01/03/04/05/06:00.0; AMD 02:00.0 has none), re-derived from lspci/uhubctl/sysfs and written as a derivation recipe because bus numbers renumber every boot. The root-cycle rung also gains the board-flock requirement the other files already demand - it avoids the KERNEL device_lock, which is a different lock, and the text now names the two apart instead of reading as "no reservation needed". CLAUDE.md listed src/tusb_config.h among the key files; no such path exists - tusb_config.h is per-example, src/tusb_option.h is the file that lives there.
2026-08-20hil-pool-check: document the probe power-cycle escalation; name the env ↵hathach
script directly A probe whose firmware has wedged reports flash-failed with the probe present and "probe toggle unconfirmed". The tool's own recovery cannot fix that: an authorized toggle re-enumerates but never removes power, and hil_pool_check.py:304 already notes that ST-Link, WCH-Link, CP210x and picoprobe keep their sysfs kobject across one. So the check correctly gives up, and the operator was left to invent the next rung. Write it down, as what this rig's hardware actually does rather than what uhubctl advertises: the Renesas cards list their root hubs as ppps-capable but do not implement it (owner-confirmed - VBUS never drops, only D+/D-), so a root-port cycle is a harder forced re-enumeration that a wedged probe can ride out, worth exactly one attempt; and the AMD 0000:02:00.0, where the WCH-Links live, has no port-power switching at all - nothing to cycle, straight to a physical replug. Which card a probe hangs off decides which case applies, so the procedure starts from readlink. The ordering rules encode the shared-rig protocol: let the full run finish (a bounce re-enumerates siblings and corrupts checks still in flight), hold --all with this host's --config before the cycle (hil_lock.py hold validates nothing against the roster and nothing maps a sysfs busport to a board name, so a narrower hand-listed hold reserves nothing while reporting success - and --all defaults to tinyusb.json, which on the tusb rig would reserve 27 boards that do not exist there), release BEFORE the re-check (hil_pool_check.py self-locks every board it checks, so a hold still in place makes the verification report locked against your own hold and verify nothing), and drive the cycle through usb_recover.sh root-cycle by its full in-repo path - it is on no PATH and sudo's secure_path excludes the checkout. Never a bare `uhubctl -a cycle`: without -S it writes sysfs disable, whose disable_store takes the root hub's lock uninterruptibly and then usb_disconnect()s the wedged child - the one input that turns a probe wedge into a bus-wide wedge. Give the script the wedged probe's own busport, not the hub path: the serial guard and the success check both read the path you pass, and the hub's inode always changes when its own port cycles. Reporting asks for both passes: a final table showing every board healthy hides that a probe needed power-cycling to get there, which is the signal that it will recur. Also: the ESP-IDF env hints name `. $HOME/code/esp-idf/export.sh` instead of the `get-idf` alias, which lives only in interactive shells and fails from scripts.
2026-08-20hil: run every board in one hil_test.py and hand results across as JSONhathach
hil-validate ran one hil-operator per board. That parallelizes at the wrong layer: hil_test.py already schedules boards across host controllers and budgets concurrent flashes and usbtest batteries per controller (FLASH_PARALLEL/USBTEST_PARALLEL), and those permits live in one process - N parallel runs multiply the budget onto the same uPD720201 cards for no wall-clock gain over one run that already parallelizes. The workflow now spawns ONE operator with every board as repeated -b. The operator no longer retypes the report table. Four consecutive max-effort review rounds found ~15 defects in this file and every one was in reconstructing board identity from transcribed prose: report rows are named per VARIANT (nanoch32v203 only ever produces -fsdev/-usbfs rows), a variant need not start with its board's name, lock contention is a `board-locked` cell rather than a phrase, and each fix introduced the next round's bug - including a fake-green test that asserted an invariant with the one input shape that could not break it. The new helper test/hil/helper/hil_summary.py does the join where the roster lives and emits one machine verdict per board ({board, ran, pass, locked, detail}); the operator returns that JSON verbatim plus `wedged`, the only field it authors, and the workflow reads fields, never parses a string. Its cell classifier mirrors hil_test.py's own tally exactly: failures are always marked ('fail' or a ❌ prefix, TestFail's contract), everything unmarked is a pass - a passing test may return a plain metric cell like '13443 KB/s', and the mirrored rule is what keeps a green table from becoming a red verdict. hil_ci.sh kept only the LAST -b, so multi-board remote runs staged one board's binaries and every other board died on the rig after its lock and flash slot were spent. It now parses every -b spelling argparse accepts (with the -bt arms ordered first, longest-match, so the <config>.failed retry form is never read as a board named "t..."), pre-flights roster membership and build dirs for ALL boards before anything is wiped or staged, warns per declared variant with no build dir (which hil_test.py would silently green-skip), forwards HIL_* knobs as export lines in one %q word the remote evals ('; '-joined so it round-trips under dash - an authorized HIL_NO_BOARD_LOCK force must not silently no-op), keeps HIL_REPORT_DIR local because the copy-backs look in REMOTE_DIR, and copies hil_report.json and the .failed re-run spec back beside the markdown, deleting stale local copies first so a green run cannot leave last run's spec looking current. Retries preserve the fleet: the documented path is the <config>.failed spec, which already begins with --accumulate; a fresh scoped re-run would unlink the report and collapse the whole-fleet table to the retried boards alone. The risky logic is executable, not argued about: .claude/workflows/test-hil-validate.mjs pins the lookup/verdict helpers and runs in pre-commit (hil-validate-logic); nine staging tests drive hil_ci.sh through an ssh stub that models the real thing (argv joined into one string the remote re-splits, heredoc on stdin - the naive echo-stub passed while the feature was broken); and deliberate mutations of the verdict logic are all caught. Validated on the rig: a 2-board run (usbtest 30/30 on both; the pre-fix classifier, replayed against that run's real report, fails the fully-green stm32f723disco on its two passing '13443 KB/s' cells), the .failed --accumulate retry (merged report kept every earlier row), and a 10-run soak over random subsets of a 22-board pool - 43 board-slots, every failure signature matched pre-existing CI state or known flake, zero tooling failures, no locks left behind.

dcd(ci_hs): stage the device address before priming the status stage
2026-08-19dcd(ci_hs): stage the device address before priming the status stagehathach
IMXRT1060RM 42.7.23 and UM10503 Table 478 both ask for the DEVICEADDR write with USBADRA=1 to happen after the SET_ADDRESS data phase and before the prime of the status stage, so the controller loads USBADR from its holding register when the status stage is ACKed. The driver did it the other way round, leaving a window between the ENDPTPRIME store and the DEVICEADDR store: an IN answered inside that window ACKs with USBADRA still 0, so the holding register is never consulted and the device keeps answering on address 0 while the host has moved to the new one. Instruction timing alone cannot open that window, but dcd_set_address() runs in task context, so any interrupt landing between the two stores stretches it past a microframe. Hardware discards a staged address on a SETUP or OUT to endpoint 0 and zeroes USBADR on a bus reset, which covers a superseded SET_ADDRESS. What it cannot cover is a SETUP latched before this write and still unconsumed after the full CI_HS_BUSY_SPIN spin, which refuses the prime: condition 2 already fired for that earlier SETUP, so the stage would survive and load USBADR on the next EP0 IN ACK of an unrelated transfer. USB 2.0 9.4.6 is explicit that "the USB device does not change its device address until after the Status stage of this request is completed successfully", so the refused-prime path restores the previous USBADR rather than leaving a stage armed. Restoring the previous value rather than writing zero keeps 9.4.6's Address-state row correct, where a device already at a non-zero address must stay there; on Linux that write is always a no-op, since hub_set_address only issues SET_ADDRESS from USB_STATE_DEFAULT. Cast dev_addr before the shift: it is uint8_t, promoted to int, so an address of 64 or more reached the sign bit of a 32-bit int. No errata applies: IMXRT1060CE_A Rev 1.3 lists only ERR050101 and ERR010661 for USB, IMXRT1060CE_B Rev 1.1 only ERR010661. Validated on mimxrt1064_evk: 18/19 device+host tests, 6x usbtest 30/30, and a 100-iteration forced re-enumeration A/B that is clean on both this change and its parent (0/100 each). All 19 ci_hs boards build; unit tests 63/63; PVS drops one diagnostic (the sign-bit shift) and adds none.

2026-08-19ci(circleci): key the toolchain cache off a file that always existshathach
Restore/Save Toolchain Cache have been failing on every job whose toolchain is hosted on GitHub - arm-gcc, arm-clang, riscv-gcc, rx-gcc, ft9xx-gcc: Restore Toolchain Cache template: cacheKey:1:8: executing "cacheKey" at <checksum "toolchain_key">: error calling checksum: open /home/circleci/project/tinyusb/toolchain_key: no such file or directory "Set toolchain url and key" only wrote toolchain_key when the URL was not a github.com link, but both cache steps referenced {{ checksum "toolchain_key" }} unconditionally, so for those toolchains the key could never be computed. The job still went green because the build step does not depend on the cache, which is why this went unnoticed - but the two steps are permanently red and the toolchain is re-downloaded on every single run. Key the cache on the toolchain name plus a checksum of toolchain.json instead. That file is in the repo, so the checksum always resolves, and the key still invalidates whenever a toolchain URL changes. toolchain_key is no longer needed. Side effect worth calling out: GitHub-hosted toolchains are now cached rather than skipped. That was the intent of the removed condition, but it is also what broke the steps - CircleCI cannot skip a cache step on a value only known at run time. Caching them also saves the repeated download.

dcd(ci_hs): rework bus reset handling per the reference manual, and work around ERR050101
2026-08-18examples: document and work around the i.MX RT and LPC55 USB erratahathach
ERR050101: while an isochronous IN endpoint is active, an IN token addressed to that same endpoint number on ANOTHER device sharing the host can silently unprime one of this device's OUT endpoints - control, bulk, interrupt or isochronous alike. NXP states it cannot be detected by software and raises no interrupt, so the endpoint simply stops answering and the transfer never completes. The workaround is a uniqueness requirement rather than a particular number: the isochronous IN endpoint must not share its number with any IN endpoint in use on the bus. One family-wide constant therefore defeats it, since two affected boards on the same hub then pick the same number and each becomes the other's aggressor. CFG_TUSB_MIMXRT1XXX_ERRATA_ERR050101 is set only for the parts whose errata list it - RT1015, RT1020, RT1024 and RT1050, where it is marked no fix scheduled, plus RT1060 and RT1064 rev A - so RT1010 and the RT11xx family keep the ordinary number and cannot collide with an affected board beside them. Several affected boards on one hub can still be given distinct numbers with -DEPNUM_ISO_IN. The guard covers every example that has an isochronous IN endpoint: audio_test, audio_4_channel_mic, uac2_headset, cdc_uac2, usbtest, video_capture and video_capture_2ch. The video examples move the endpoint only when streaming isochronously, since the bulk configuration is unaffected, and video_capture_2ch takes two numbers because it has two streams. The macro name follows CFG_TUSB_RP2_ERRATA_E2/E4/E15 already in tree, and its is fixed, and which cannot be told apart at compile time - a way to define it to 0. device_issues.rst records ERR050101 against every affected part with a link to each errata sheet, and adds the LPC55S2x USB.3 speed-detection and USB.5 isochronous IN entries, neither of which TinyUSB works around. The branch's design notes are included under docs/superpowers. Verified: 340 wedge-free runs on mimxrt1064_evk, which previously wedged within hours, and the macro resolving to endpoint 0x87 on mimxrt1064_evk against 0x83 on mimxrt1010_evk and stm32f407disco.
2026-08-18bsp(lpc55): run lpcxpresso55s28 as a high-speed device, add it to the ci poolhathach
Flip the board to device-highspeed/host-fullspeed, matching lpcxpresso55s69 and the way it is cabled on the test rig, and add it to the rig pool with the unique id read from its flash PFR. This is the first hardware coverage the ip3511 high-speed device path has ever had, and it immediately exposed the clear-stall type-bit bug fixed separately. The port swap also exposed a build gap: family.mk only linked a host controller for port 1, so make host builds on port 0 failed with undefined references - mirror family.cmake and link the OHCI driver there. The board's rhport defaults now come from family.cmake's guarded ones rather than a duplicate copy, so a -D override on the command line wins.
2026-08-18bsp(lpc11u37): move the main stack to the USB SRAM bankhathach
The 8 KB main bank is packed tightly enough that only ~280 bytes remained above .bss, and interrupt frames overflowed into the topmost task stack - a hard fault in cdc_msc_freertos. Put the MSP at the top of the 2 KB USB SRAM bank, which nothing else uses in either build system, so the stack no longer shrinks as .bss grows. The Make build's CFG_TUSB_MEM_SECTION placement of endpoint buffers into that bank is dropped so both build systems agree on the layout. The headroom assert is written as an addition rather than a subtraction, since linker script arithmetic is unsigned and an overflowing bank would underflow the difference into a huge positive value and pass silently.
2026-08-18dcd(ip3511): fix DEVCMDSTAT write-1-to-clear handling and EP0 setup raceshathach
DEVCMDSTAT mixes read/write fields with write-1-to-clear latches, so a blind read-modify-write writes a pending latch back as a one and silently clears it - a setup consumed that way strands EP0. Mask the latches on every update. The setup path follows the manual's order: acknowledge the latch, then read the payload. The EP0 IN interrupt is cleared along with EP0 OUT, as the control endpoint flowchart requires - a control IN completion latched before the setup must not reach usbd after it, where it would be applied to the request the setup just started and arm its status stage early. The payload is copied a byte at a time out of a buffer now declared volatile: the controller DMAs a new setup packet into it as soon as the latch is cleared, and C orders volatile accesses only against each other, so gcc sinks a plain memcpy below the guard read that follows at -O2 and -O3 - leaving only -Os, the level CI builds, correct.
2026-08-18usbd: handle a refused transfer without halting, and report ithathach
A refused transfer is a recoverable condition - a new setup superseding a control response, for instance - rather than a bug, but every failure path treated it as one. TU_ASSERT carries TU_BREAKPOINT, which is gated on a debugger being attached rather than on CFG_TUSB_DEBUG, so on a rig where a probe is always attached it halted the CPU even in release builds. Use TU_VERIFY on the control transfer paths, including the multi-packet data stage continuation, and drop the breakpoint from the endpoint transfer failure arm, which already marks the endpoint ready again so the next transfer can proceed. The result of usbd_control_xfer_cb() was separately dropped on the floor, leaving EP0 neither armed nor stalled and nothing recorded. It is logged now, and deliberately not stalled: a DCD refuses an EP0 prime when a newer setup is already latched, and EP0 stalls are cleared by hardware when that setup arrives, so a stall issued here would land after the auto-clear and stall the transfer that superseded this one. The pending setup re-drives EP0 by itself.
2026-08-18dcd(ci_hs): rework bus reset handling and bound the register waitshathach
A bus reset was detected only from the port change that ends it, which is late: the manual asks the DCD to clear the endpoint semaphores, cancel every prime and free the dTDs while the reset is still being driven. Enable the reset interrupt and do all of that there, in the manual's order (IMXRT1060RM 42.5.6.2.1, p.2394), including the two steps that were missing - confirming the port is still being reset, and freeing the dTDs. A failed check means the cleanup arrived late and the controller may be in an undefined state, so the manual's remedy is carried out rather than noted: a controller reset, followed by the full re-initialisation it then requires, since the reset detaches the device. The port change that ends the reset is left with what the manual gives it, the negotiated speed, which the new BUS_RESET_END event carries. A port change is classified by the interrupt that preceded it: a suspend raises no port change of its own, the resume that ends it does. Every unbounded register spin is now bounded. They waited on bits the hardware clears within a frame, but each could hang an interrupt handler outright on a controller that had stopped responding. The endpoint flush follows all three steps of IMXRT1060RM 42.5.6.6.5 (p.2413), repeating a flush the controller refuses while a packet is in progress - previously reported as success. EP0 setup handling is hardened alongside: the payload is copied out of the queue head through the volatile qualifier before ENDPTSETUPSTAT is cleared, since that clear releases the setup lockout and a back-to-back setup can overwrite the buffer immediately after, and C orders volatile accesses only against each other, so a plain memcpy may legally be sunk past the store. There is deliberately no unplug detection. IMXRT1060RM 42.7.31 (p.2470) states a zero Current Connect Status means the device "did not attach successfully or was forcibly disconnected by the software writing a zero to the Run bit ... It does not state the device being disconnected or suspended", so a cable pull raises no port change at all; VBUS via OTGSC is the manual's disconnect indicator and is board dependent. Verified on mimxrt1064_evk: 30 forced bus resets each re-enumerating at high speed with no descriptor errors, plus repeated full usbtest batteries at 30/30 across the series.
2026-08-18usbd: split bus reset into start/end edge eventshathach
A driver that can see reset signalling begin has no way to say so: the only event carries the negotiated speed, which does not exist until the reset ends. On ChipIdea that left the stack believing it was still configured for the whole reset window - 3 ms at minimum, tens of milliseconds in practice - while the controller had already torn its endpoints down, so a class driver writing in that window primed a disabled endpoint over a zeroed queue head. Add DCD_EVENT_BUS_RESET_START for the leading edge and rename the existing event to DCD_EVENT_BUS_RESET_END, keeping DCD_EVENT_BUS_RESET as an alias. START is optional and END stays self-sufficient, so every other driver and the unit tests are untouched.

read-doc skill: search the document library's database instead of the filesystem
2026-08-18skill(read-doc): search the Calibre database instead of the filesystemhathach
Finding documents by walking the library tree misses anything the filename does not carry - Calibre stores only a truncated title and the author there, so the tags, series, publisher and description that hold most part numbers and errata IDs are invisible to it. A zero-result tree search then reads as "the document does not exist" rather than as a bad search; that happened here, and led to a confident claim that a fully populated 14,000-file library was empty. search.py queries metadata.db, ANDs its keywords across every metadata field (including the stored filename), and prints the best matches first with the exact path to read. Matching is NFKC + casefold, so a typed ASCII apostrophe or mu reaches the titles that store the typographic ones. Every printed path is checked on disk. Calibre renames <author>/<title> (<id>) when metadata is edited and leaves the old directory behind, so a miss retries by the stable book id before reporting MISSING - which distinguishes "the file is not here right now" from "no such document". The gate tests for metadata.db rather than the directory, since an unmounted or half-synced mountpoint is still a directory. Consumers that prescribed their own tree search - driver-reviewer, port-dev, the driver-review workflow, and the calibre-library references in CLAUDE.md, usbtest, etm-trace and target-debug - now point at the skill, which owns the library's location.

hil, ci: contain a wedged USB stack instead of stranding the runner
2026-08-18docs: hand off follow-up work as per-PR planshathach
Records the convention in CLAUDE.md -- deferred work is a SEPARATE scope that deserves its own PR, written by another session, so it is handed off as a writing-plans doc in docs/superpowers/followup/pr<NNN>-<topic>.md rather than accumulated in the PR that found it. Five handoffs from #3803: flasher_recover (convoy-safe recovery for J-Link boards, seven validated on the rig), the blindness reporting gaps, the usbtest recovery reserve, the IAR re-run spec, and the pci-rebind stranding question. Each carries what is already established with its citations and measurements, what remains, and why it was split out. One doc per follow-up, not one per PR: a per-PR file invites unrelated work into the same document and rots as a unit.
2026-08-18skills, docs: rewrite USB recovery from the live incidentshathach
Two things the rig taught us that the old guidance got wrong. A usbfs ioctl wedged in D state cannot be freed on a running kernel. It holds the device lock, so usb_disconnect() blocks behind it; reboot(2) walks device_shutdown() and takes the same lock, so every userspace reboot stalls too. Only sysrq b (emergency_restart, which skips device_shutdown) or hypervisor action clears it -- all cited to the kernel source. The recovery ladder is generic across rigs now (ci.lan, hifiphile, a bench PC) and ends at hypervisor escalation only where host access exists. Two claims are corrected outright: JLinkExe is NOT convoy-safe, and a park-flash cannot free a device-lock owner. The hil skill's banner list is what an operator agent matches a report against, so it enumerates the banners that actually exist, including the D-state note -- which is explicitly NOT a wedge, since a healthy in-flight testusb is uninterruptible for most of every case and a concurrent CI battery would otherwise turn a clean run red.
