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.

Document the ci and hfp HIL rigs in enough detail to reproduce one: bill of
materials with photos, BIOS/IOMMU and vfio-pci passthrough on the Proxmox
host, the Renesas uPD720201 firmware install, the guest software and
permissions, the one-hub-per-root-port USB topology rule and the per-box
split of probe and DUT hubs, how CI drives the rigs, and the operational
gotchas.
The attached-board table is generated from test/hil/tinyusb.json and
test/hil/hfp.json by tools/gen_doc.py into docs/reference/hil_boards.md,
which the page includes. Sphinx excludes that partial so it is not also
built as an orphan document.
Also exclude docs/superpowers/ from the Sphinx build: it holds internal
plans, specs and handoffs rather than published documentation, and since
nothing references them from a toctree each emitted "document isn't
included in any toctree" -- 26 warnings in total, so build_doc.py -W could
never pass. It now does.
