Started as "flash from Android Chrome" and grew to fix the rename → reconnect
failures it exposed, refresh the devices page around them, and get the full HITL
harness suite green (including a real pass/fail for the FX cost estimator).

Android WebUSB flashing (web/src/flash, patches/)

Flashing from Android Chrome failed at three successive points; the whole
detect → write → verify path now works on the ESP32‑C6's native USB:

  • Install the Web Serial polyfill even when navigator.serial exists. Chrome
    for Android 138 shipped Web Serial, but only over Bluetooth — so the native
    picker listed speakers, never the USB board. Install the WebUSB‑backed polyfill
    whenever WebUSB is present AND (no native Serial OR Android). navigator.serial
    is a read‑only accessor once native, so install via Object.defineProperty
    (a plain assignment threw at import and took the flashSheet chunk down).
  • Patch web-serial-polyfill's zero‑length enqueue (pnpm patch): the C6's
    USB‑Serial/JTAG emits zero‑length USB packets; the polyfill enqueued them into a
    byte stream (chunk is empty → killed the read loop → "No serial data
    received"). Guard the enqueue on byteLength > 0.
  • Skip the baud‑change reopen on native USB. esptool‑js renegotiates baud by
    closing and reopening the port; the C6's native USB‑Serial/JTAG goes silent when
    its interface is re‑claimed mid‑flash, and its baud is nominal anyway — keep
    native‑USB (VID 0x303a) at 115200; real UART bridges still get 921600.

Firmware: rename no longer wedges wss:443 (firmware/player_app)

Renaming a device left :443 dead until reboot. Serial showed httpd_ssl_start failed: 45064 = ESP_ERR_HTTPD_TASK — the 28 KB httpd task stack couldn't be
allocated contiguously (heap fragmented; 77 KB free) on the cert re‑issue
restart. Two fixes: (1) the rename no longer re‑issues the cert at all when the
STA IP is unchanged (only the hostname changed; the app connects by IP SAN) — so
wss stays up and trusted, and the app's socket never even drops; (2) the
restarts that are needed (real IP change) now yield for the idle task to reclaim
the old stack and only commit g_cert_ip after a confirmed restart, so a failed
one self‑heals via loop().

Web: reconnect + connection state (web/src/net, web/src/ui/app)

  • Warm‑drop cert‑trust fallback: after a rename rotates the self‑signed cert,
    a client that had already welcomed retried forever ("connecting (N)…"). It now
    surfaces the trust affordance after a bounded number of failed reconnects, so
    the user can re‑accept.
  • Pill stuck at "syncing clock…" after a rename: the device echoes a fresh
    welcome as the set_device_name reply on the live socket; the client treated
    any welcome as the initial handshake (re‑fired onConnected, never dispatched
    the reply). Only the first welcome per socket is the handshake now.

Devices page UX (web/src/ui)

  • Rows: connect/disconnect are now plug icons (blue plug / red slashed plug),
    with a gray, phase‑stable "connecting" pulse+slash animation until fully
    connected; a 3‑dots menu opens config (delete lives inside it, off the top
    level); the subtitle shows round‑trip latency, not the (huge, meaningless)
    clock offset.
  • Probe on disconnect so a freed device's dot updates immediately, and
    pull‑to‑refresh for a one‑shot reachability poll (spinner slides in frozen,
    spins on release, pops out when done).
  • Config sheet: inline‑editable name (label + pencil ⇄ input + floppy; tap‑away
    cancels; row height fixed across the toggle), a compact icon+label action grid
    (Gamma / Move / Forget), reordered above a divider from the diagnostics.

HITL harness suite → all five targets green (pi/hitl, .github/workflows, web/tests)

  • Drivers are now py_tests (e2e, map_upload, mapping_trigger,
    fx_bench, rename_wss), tagged ["manual","hitl"]; hitl.yaml discovers
    them by the hitl tag and bazel tests them, and the pure‑logic units rejoin
    the normal bazel test //... lane.
  • rename_wss — new on‑hardware regression for the rename → wss wedge.
  • Provision the reserved board by BLE MAC — the real fix for the intermittent
    map_upload/e2e failures (they'd surface in CI as ws never came up /
    ConnectionResetError / envelope has no message set). A serial trace showed
    the harness was flashing the reserved DUT — which booted healthy — while the
    Improv provisioner connected to a different board in RF range (a ghost left
    renamed + powered by a prior e2e run) and ran the whole test against it; that
    stray board's drifting TLS state was the "flakiness." _run_provisioner never
    passed --address, so the scan took whatever named Improv device answered
    first. It now reads the reserved board's BLE advertising MAC off its own
    serial (hitl-monitor reads that specific USB port) and pins the scan to it, so
    a stray board can never be provisioned in our place; a failed read falls back to
    the name scan with a warning. Centralized in provision.py (all five drivers).
    Validated on the rig at map_upload 4/4 + e2e, every run pinned to the
    reserved MAC. Also raised the post‑provision wss settle 25s → 60s as slack for
    genuinely slow cold boots, and added serial_probe, the diagnostic that found
    this.
  • hitl_shim — a stdlib HTTP runner you launch on a tailnet host and curl to
    run the suite one target at a time.
  • wss tests default to insecure (self‑signed cert accepted; --ws-verify to
    opt in), and mapping_trigger's fx_compile runfiles resolution is fixed
    (existence‑checked Rlocation).
  • fx_bench is a real pass/fail test with a unified golden
    (web/tests/testdata/device-bench-esp32c6.json, a full 72‑program C6
    measurement + margins). One file backs both the on‑hardware margin check (fresh
    run vs golden frame cycles, per‑effect margin) and the software estimator test
    (deviceProfileHardware.test.ts: fit buildDeviceProfile, validate a held‑out
    spread). --out defaults to the test sandbox; --emit-golden regenerates it.

Testing

  • //web:unit_tests (52) + typecheck, //pi/hitl/tests, firmware build, and the
    full HITL suite pass on a real rig (e2e, map_upload, mapping_trigger,
    rename_wss, fx_bench).
  • Android flashing, the rename→wss fix, and the reconnect/sync‑state fixes were
    verified on real hardware (lilbuddy) end‑to‑end.

Known follow‑up

The FX estimator gate is 13%, not the desired 5% — that's the linear
sum‑of‑op‑costs model's ceiling (it over‑predicts the cheapest real effects;
relative‑error weighting hurts generalization). Root cause + concrete directions
are in pi/hitl/WORKLOG.md (2026‑08‑08 entry); the offline //web:fit_device_profile
loop (with FIT_DEBUG=1) makes iterating on it fast.

The FUG-60 flasher rides on the Web Serial API, which Chrome exposes on
desktop but not on Android — so the port chooser found nothing and the
Device tab's flash flow was a dead end on phones/tablets.

Android Chrome does expose WebUSB, so install Google's web-serial-polyfill
(a Web Serial implementation over WebUSB, the same layer esp-web-tools /
esptool-js#144 use) as navigator.serial when native Serial is absent but
WebUSB is present. The polyfill's ports implement the standard SerialPort
interface (getInfo/readable/writable/open/close/setSignals), so esptool-js
and every flash backend are unchanged — the exact same detect → write →
hard-reset path now runs over WebUSB.

- webserial.ts snapshots the browser's real capabilities first (installing
  the polyfill makes `"serial" in navigator` true, which would otherwise
  mask the WebUSB fallback in diagnostics), then installs the polyfill.
- env.ts: WebUSB now counts as a flashable transport (with an Android
  caveat note); only a browser with neither API (e.g. iOS) is reported as
  unsupported. Adds a "Flash transport" diagnostics line.
- flashSheet.ts: updated help copy and surfaces the WebUSB caveat up front.
- The polyfill lands only in the lazy flashSheet chunk, off the main bundle.

Deps: web-serial-polyfill (Apache-2.0) + @types/w3c-web-usb, wired into the
web BUILD target. Tests: extended flashEnv suite (Android-ok-via-polyfill,
iOS-unsupported), full //web:unit_tests (50) and typecheck pass, and the
Vite bundle builds. End-to-end Android write needs a real board + Android
Chrome, unavailable in the container — flagged for manual verification, as
with FUG-60's desktop path.

…-USB baud)

Flashing from Android Chrome failed at three successive points; this makes the
whole detect -> write -> verify path work on the ESP32-C6's native USB.

1. Install the polyfill even when navigator.serial exists. Chrome for Android
   138 shipped Web Serial, but only over Bluetooth (it can't see a USB board),
   so the native picker listed phones/speakers and never the ESP. Install the
   WebUSB polyfill whenever WebUSB is present AND (no native Serial OR Android).
   navigator.serial is a read-only accessor once native, so assigning to it
   throws in module code (and, running at import, took down the flashSheet
   chunk -> button did nothing); install via Object.defineProperty instead, in
   a try/catch, and surface "WebUSB polyfill installed: yes/no" in diagnostics.

2. Patch web-serial-polyfill's empty-chunk enqueue. The C6's USB-Serial/JTAG
   emits zero-length USB packets; the polyfill enqueued them into a byte stream,
   which throws "chunk is empty" and kills the read loop ("No serial data
   received"). pnpm patch guards the enqueue on byteLength > 0.

3. Skip the baud-change reopen on native USB. esptool-js renegotiates baud by
   closing and reopening the port; the C6's native USB-Serial/JTAG goes silent
   after re-claiming its interface mid-flash, and its baud is nominal anyway
   (USB runs full-speed regardless). Keep native-USB (VID 0x303a) at 115200 to
   skip the reopen; real UART bridges still get 921600.

Tests: extended flashEnv suite (Android-with-native-Serial routes via polyfill),
full //web:unit_tests (51) + typecheck pass, Vite bundle builds with the patched
polyfill and the native-USB baud path. On-device Android write confirmed working.

Renaming a device regenerates its self-signed TLS cert (its CN/hostname is
derived from the name, FUG-83) and reboots it to apply the new identity. The
already-connected client saw a warm drop and reconnected with backoff — but
every reconnect now hit the NEW, untrusted cert (ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID) and
closed without welcoming. Because the client had already welcomed once, the
cert-trust give-up path (gated on !everWelcomed) never fired, so it retried
forever, stuck at "connecting (N)…" with no way for the user to re-trust the
cert.

Track consecutive reconnects that never reach welcome (reset on each welcome)
and, on a cert-trust target, surface onCertTrustNeeded once they exceed a limit —
for a warm client too, not just a cold one. The cold limit stays 1 (an untrusted
cert is untrusted from the first attempt); the new warmRetryLimit defaults to 4
so an ordinary reboot (same cert) still reconnects within the backoff instead of
prematurely dropping the user to "trust needed". Once surfaced, the existing
"Trust & connect" flow re-accepts the rotated cert and reconnects.

Test: warm wss client whose reconnects keep failing surfaces cert-trust after
warmRetryLimit and then stops; existing cold-give-up test unchanged. Full
//web:unit_tests (51) + typecheck pass.

…S restart)

Renaming a device left wss:443 dead until reboot. Device serial at the rename:

  [wss] re-issued cert with SAN IP:192.168.68.50 (heap=78800); restarting TLS
  [wss] httpd_ssl_start failed: 45064 (heap=77620)

45064 = 0xB008 = ESP_ERR_HTTPD_TASK: httpd_ssl_start's xTaskCreate for the
28 KB server-task stack (cfg.httpd.stack_size) failed — NOT for lack of heap
(77 KB free) but for lack of a CONTIGUOUS 28 KB block. The heap is fragmented by
the TLS handshakes that ran while the browser rejected the untrusted self-signed
cert (min-free fell to 14 KB), and reissue_cert_for_lan() tore the server down
and immediately restarted it. Two firmware bugs compounded it:

1. The rename forced the re-issue at all. The STA IP — the SAN the app connects
   by — didn't change; only the hostname (cert CN + <hostname>.local DNS SAN)
   did. So the served cert stayed valid and the restart was pure downside: it
   both risked the 0xb008 wedge AND rotated the cert bytes, forcing the browser
   to re-accept the self-signed cert. Fix: poll_device_rename no longer zeroes
   g_cert_ip. The hostname lands in the SAN on the next genuine IP change/reboot
   (all the DNS SAN is used for); wss stays up AND trusted across a rename, and
   the app's socket never even drops.

2. The unavoidable restarts (real IP change) weren't robust. httpd_ssl_stop()'s
   28 KB task stack is reclaimed by the idle task asynchronously, so an immediate
   wss_start() races the reclaim and hits 0xb008. And g_cert_ip was committed
   BEFORE the restart, so a failed one was never retried. Fix: yield after
   httpd_ssl_stop() so the idle task frees the stack (reopening the hole the new
   task reuses), and commit g_cert_ip only on a confirmed restart so a failure
   self-heals via loop()'s reconcile instead of stranding :443.

Complements the web-side warm-drop cert-trust fallback (prior commit): with (1)
a rename needs no re-trust at all, and the fallback covers genuine cert changes.

Builds: bazel build //firmware/player_app:esp32c6_flashbundle. Hardware verify
on lilbuddy pending (HITL bench couldn't hold a DUT on WiFi this session).

Reserve -> flash -> Improv-provision -> connect wss -> rename via set_device_name
-> probe that :443 stays up. This is the on-hardware regression for the rename
wss wedge (httpd_ssl_start ESP_ERR_HTTPD_TASK 0xb008 on the cert-reissue restart,
fixed in the firmware commit). With --device-ws it hits a reachable board
directly (skipping reserve/flash/provision) — how it was used to verify the fix
against lilbuddy: initial connect + rename + reconnect all succeed, vs the prior
permanent ConnectionResetError.

py_binary mirrors the other harness on-hardware drivers (manual + hitl tags).

…in //...

Two lanes were crossed. Fix both:

- The on-hardware workflow (was `HITL e2e`, job `hitl-e2e`) ran only the e2e
  binary. Rename it to `HITL tests` / job `hitl_tests` and run the WHOLE
  //pi/hitl/harness on-hardware suite — e2e, map_upload, mapping_trigger,
  fx_bench, rename_wss — each grouped in the log so a failure names the target.
  Every binary takes --server; e2e keeps its --monitor-seconds/--skip-flash
  knobs. The concurrency group already serializes the bench, so runs are
  sequential.

- The pure-logic units (//pi/hitl/tests:hitl_test — Improv codec + SNTP sync, no
  hardware/network) were tags=["manual","hitl"] and run by a bespoke `hitl-tests`
  job in test.yaml that bazel-queried the `hitl` tag. Drop the tags so they run
  in the normal `bazel test //...` suite (the `test` job) like every other unit
  test, and delete the now-redundant job. The harness py_library has no pip deps
  and the test imports none of the BLE/ws modules, so //... stays light.

…azel test`

The on-hardware harness drivers were py_binaries the workflow `bazel run` one by
one. Make them the real test surface instead: convert e2e, mapping_trigger,
fx_bench, map_upload, and rename_wss to py_test tagged ["manual","hitl"]
(timeout=eternal — a flash+provision cycle runs minutes), and have hitl.yaml
discover them the same way the unit lane used to — `bazel query 'attr(tags,
"\bhitl\b", tests(//...))'` — then `bazel test` the set.

`manual` keeps them out of `bazel test //...` (the normal lane, where the
pure-logic units now live); the `hitl` tag is now unambiguously "on-hardware", so
the query returns exactly these five. Run with --test_output=streamed so the
shared bench takes one reservation at a time with live flash output; HITL_* env
is forwarded with --test_env and a pinned --server via --test_arg (all targets
accept it). Each is still `bazel run`-able locally (e.g. --device-ws).

Verified: the query returns the five; they build as tests and are excluded from
the non-manual //... wildcard while //pi/hitl/tests:hitl_test stays in it.

…dled)

Now that the firmware keeps wss up across a rename (no reconnect), the device
echoes a fresh `welcome` as the set_device_name REPLY on the LIVE socket. The
client's onmessage handler treated ANY `welcome` as the initial handshake: it
re-fired onConnected — which sets the pill to "syncing clock…" — and returned
before dispatching, so setDeviceName's `welcome` waiter never resolved. Nothing
follows an already-connected re-welcome with a syncClock + "connected" (that only
happens in the initial connect() chain), so the pill hung at "syncing clock…"
even though the socket was fine.

Only the FIRST welcome on a socket is the handshake (fires onConnected, resolves
connect()). A later welcome is a request reply: update the cached welcome and
dispatch it to the waiter so setDeviceName/setColorCorrection resolve, without
re-running the connect path. The device sheet's applyWelcome + "Device renamed"
toast now fire too.

Test: a re-welcome resolves setDeviceName with the new deviceName, does NOT
re-fire onConnected, and stays connected. Full //web:unit_tests (50) + typecheck.

The per-device row had a one-tap trash (Forget) button sitting next to Connect,
and the config popup was only reachable by long-press/right-click — undiscoverable
and easy to fat-finger the delete. Replace both with a single 3-dots (⋮, the
`more` icon) button that opens the existing device config popup. Delete already
lives in that popup as "Forget device", so it stays one layer down where it can't
be hit by accident, and the config is now an obvious tap rather than a hidden
long-press. Drops the pointer/contextmenu long-press handlers.

Typecheck passes.

…onnect

Three devices-page tweaks:

- Probe immediately on disconnect. The prober skips the ACTIVE device (it's
  connected), so after a disconnect the just-freed device kept a stale dot until
  the round-robin/backoff loop happened to reach it (up to a full interval).
  disconnect() now calls deviceProber.probeNow(id) so the row flips to
  reachable/offline right away. Factored the per-device probe into probeOne();
  probeNow()/probeAllNow() reuse it, bypassing the round-robin.

- Pull-to-refresh. Dragging the devices list down past a threshold fires a
  one-shot poll of every non-active device (deviceProber.probeAllNow()), with an
  in-place "Pull / Release / Refreshing…" indicator between the head and the
  list. Touch-only; desktop still gets the auto-poll + refresh()-on-open.

- Connect/disconnect as plug icons. Connect is a plug on --accent (blue),
  disconnect a slashed plug on --err (red) — clearer and more compact than the
  text buttons. Adds `plug`/`plug-off` icons and a `className` hook on IconButton.

Typecheck + //web:unit_tests (51) pass; Vite bundle builds with the new
icons/CSS.

appState.connect() marks the device active immediately, so the row's button
flipped straight to the red disconnect while the wss handshake was still in
flight. Split the active state: only isConnected (welcome received) shows the red
disconnect; active-but-not-yet-connected shows a new gray "connecting" plug that
breathes (plug-pulse) with a slash "wave" sweeping across (plug-slash-wave), and
tapping it cancels the attempt. It settles to red once the handshake completes.
Honors prefers-reduced-motion (drops the animation).

Typecheck + Vite build pass.

…inner

Two refinements to the previous commit:

- The connecting plug now also covers the "syncing clock…" phase. Red disconnect
  shows only in the fully "connected" status state; "connecting…" and "syncing
  clock…" both report state "connecting", so both keep the gray in-progress plug.
  And the animation no longer restarts on the sheet's per-status-change
  re-renders: the recreated button is phase-synced to a global 1.2s clock via a
  negative animation-delay (--conn-phase, set from performance.now()), so pulse +
  slash-wave stay continuous. The status dot also now tracks status.state
  directly while active.

- Pull-to-refresh uses a spinner instead of text: it rides the fold's bottom edge
  and fades in as you pull (frozen), starts spinning on release past the
  threshold, and pops out (scale/fade) when the poll resolves before collapsing.
  prefers-reduced-motion drops the spin/pop.

Typecheck + Vite build pass.

Reworked the device detail sheet:

- Display name shows as a label with a pencil (edit) button; tapping swaps in an
  input with a floppy (save) button. Enter/floppy saves, Escape or tapping away
  cancels (the floppy's pointerdown is prevented so the input's blur=cancel
  doesn't beat the save click). Drops the big full-width "Save name" button.
- Color correction / Move to folder / Forget are now a compact ActionGrid
  (icon over label, same tiles as the map/effect browsers) instead of three
  full-width buttons; Forget keeps the danger tint.
- Reordered: display name → action grid → divider → diagnostics (LAN address,
  MAC, folder). Dropped the redundant "Bluetooth name" row (it's the display
  name).

Adds a `save` (floppy) icon. Typecheck + //web:unit_tests (50) + Vite build pass.

Trim the ActionGrid tiles to single words — "Gamma", "Move", "Forget" — so the
labels fit the tile face, and swap the color-correction tile's sparkles glyph for
a new `gamma` icon: an exponential curve plotted on axes.

Typecheck + Vite build pass.

The inline name editor jumped the content below it when switching modes: the
<input> is taller than the label span, and .sheet-input carries a margin-bottom
that only appeared in edit mode. Give the label span the same box as the input
(equal padding, a transparent 1px border, matching line-height) and zero the
input's margin, so the row height is identical in both states and the
pencil/floppy stays vertically centered.

Vite build passes.

The prior fix didn't take: .device-name-input and .sheet-input have equal
specificity and .sheet-input is defined later, so its margin-bottom (present only
in edit mode) and `font: inherit` (resetting line-height) won — the row still
grew/shifted on edit. Bump the selector to `input.device-name-input` (type +
class) so the margin-zero + matched line-height actually apply, keeping the row a
constant height across the toggle.

Vite build passes.

The connected-device subtitle showed clock.offsetMs, e.g. "offset 6955340.1ms".
That offset is "add to local time to get server time" = the device's millis()
since boot minus the tab's performance.now() since load — two unrelated monotonic
epochs, so the number is huge (hours in ms) and reads like a fault, though it's
just an internal mapping used for pattern-clock scheduling. Show the round-trip
latency (the kept min-RTT sample) instead — small and an actual link-quality
readout — e.g. "connected · 12 ms RTT"; falls back to no suffix until the first
sync lands (rtt starts Infinity).

Typecheck + Vite build pass.

The dev container reaches the tailnet but its DUTs drop WiFi, so the on-hardware
harness is flaky there; on a laptop that's properly on the tailnet the tests run
to completion. This shim runs on such a host and is curl-driven, so the suite can
be exercised one target at a time from anywhere:

    python3 pi/hitl/scripts/hitl_shim.py           # or bazel run //pi/hitl/scripts:hitl_shim
    curl -N http://<host>:8091/run?target=e2e
    curl -N http://<host>:8091/runall

Each /run shells out to `bazel run -c opt //pi/hitl/harness:<target> -- <args>`
in the checkout and streams combined output + the exit code. Some targets don't
complete bare (fx_bench's --out is required; the wss ones want --insecure), so
each carries a default arg set, overridable per request (?args replaces, ?extra
appends, ?server adds --server). One run at a time; the bench is shared. Stdlib
only; modeled on tools/flash_server.py. Smoke-tested (usage/validation/errors).

… out

Two things from running the suite on a real rig via hitl_shim.

1) Default all wss tests to accepting the device's self-signed cert. e2e already
   modeled `--ws-verify` (verify = opt-in); map_upload, mapping_trigger, fx_bench,
   and rename_wss carried `--insecure` (two even defaulting False, so they FAILED
   the self-signed bench cert bare). Swap each for `--ws-verify` and derive
   `insecure = not ws_verify`, so every wss test runs bare and verification is the
   explicit opt-in.

2) Make fx_bench a real pass/fail test against known hardware.
   - Collected a golden per-effect frame-cycle reference from a real ESP32-C6 rig
     DUT (goldens/fx_bench.esp32c6.json, 72 samples), wired into runfiles.
   - compare_to_golden (fx_bench_core, unit-tested): a run must match the golden's
     measuredFrameCycles per effect within margin. Show cycles (transmit path,
     noisier) aren't gated. Default margin 5% — the ~70 real compute effects hold
     ≤2.3% across runs — with looser per-label margins on the two tiny anchors
     whose relative noise is higher: empty 10%, sweep16 15% (observed worst 5.1%
     / 11.5% over 3 runs). Validated: 2 independent real runs pass, 0 offenders.
   - `--out` is now optional: defaults to the test sandbox
     ($TEST_UNDECLARED_OUTPUTS_DIR or a tempdir); an explicit path still wins.
   - New knobs: --golden, --margin, --no-golden-check, --emit-golden (regenerate).

hitl_shim: all five targets now run bare, so the per-target default args are
dropped. //pi/hitl/tests unit suite + all harness targets build; fx_bench
end-to-end on the rig writes to the sandbox and runs the golden check.

The target failed bare with FileNotFoundError on
`…/mapping_trigger.runfiles/_main/fx_compiler/fx_compile_/fx_compile`.
Two bugs, same as fx_bench avoids: `_rlocation` returned Rlocation()'s
CONSTRUCTED path without checking the file exists, so default_fx_compile's first
(wrong) candidate `_/fx_compile` always won and the correct
`_main/fx_compiler/fx_compile` fallback never ran; compile_fx then exec'd a
non-existent path. Existence-check `_rlocation` (like fx_bench) and prefer the
target-name rloc. Confirmed on the rig: fx_compile resolves, empty.fx compiles,
and start_mapping asserts pass (exit 0) — the last of the five HITL targets green.

…test

Both fx_bench tests now share ONE source of truth,
web/tests/testdata/device-bench-esp32c6.json — a full device-measurement bundle
(72 real ESP32-C6 programs, fxbBase64 kept) plus an `fxBenchMargins` block:

- HITL (pi/hitl/harness:fx_bench) reads it from runfiles (cross-package dep on
  //web:tests/testdata/...) and gates a fresh run's per-effect frame cycles vs the
  golden within margin (5% default; empty 10%, sweep16 15%). Confirmed on the rig:
  reads the golden from runfiles, 72 effects, PASS.
- The web estimator test (deviceProfileHardware.test.ts) imports the same file,
  fits buildDeviceProfile on the 65 fit programs and validates a 7-program
  held-out spread of real effects — RMS 9.9%, gated at 13%.

fx_bench_core: compare_to_golden / bundle_to_golden now speak the bundle+margins
format (parseDeviceBundle ignores fxBenchMargins, so the estimator is unaffected).
fx_bench --emit-golden regenerates the unified file. Dropped the separate slimmed
goldens/ file. Also adds a FIT_DEBUG per-program residual dump to the fit tool.

NOTE on the estimator margin: the linear sum-of-op-costs model tops out ~10% RMS
here — it over-predicts the cheapest real effects (empty +34%, lavalamp +19%),
and reweighting toward relative error hurts generalization. 13% is the tightest
honest gate; reaching ~5% needs a richer cost model (structural/nonlinear
features + targeted microbenchmarks), tracked as follow-up.

Tests: //web:unit_tests (52) + typecheck, //pi/hitl/tests, and fx_bench on the
rig all pass.

Record the estimator-accuracy follow-up: the linear opcode cost model over-
predicts the cheapest real effects (measured via FIT_DEBUG), tops out ~10% RMS so
the estimator gate is 13% not 5%, relative-weighting was tried and hurts
generalization, and the concrete directions + offline/rig loop to close the gap.

FUG-85 Flashing esp from the browser on Android doesn't work

Seems that this may be due to no native USB serial drivers on Android. Gemini thinks there might be workarounds:

Workarounds for Wired USB SerialWeb Serial Polyfill: Developers can use the Google Web Serial Polyfill combined with WebUSB, though this is restricted to specific unassigned USB CDC-ACM hardware classes that the Android OS hasn't already claimed with a built-in driver.Third-Party Bridges: Use external hardware or local Wi-Fi/Bluetooth serial bridging apps (like a local server or ESP32 bridge) to relay serial data to the Android browser over a network socket or Bluetooth.Dedicated Native Apps: For reliable wired USB-to-serial communication on Android (using OTG cables), a native Android application utilizing the android.hardware.usb host API or third-party libraries like UsbSerialForAndroid is still required instead of Chrome.Would you like details on how to set up the Web Serial Polyfill using WebUSB?

Investigate of any of these might work and implement a fix.

…uery)

Adding pi/hitl/scripts/BUILD.bazel for the hitl_shim py_binary turned
pi/hitl/scripts/ into its own Bazel package, which orphaned the scripts/*.sh
files that //pi/hitl references as `//pi/hitl:scripts/seed-wifi.sh` — so `bazel
query //...` (the hitl_tests CI job's discovery step) failed to load //pi/hitl
("'pi/hitl/scripts' is a subpackage"), taking the whole job down before any test
ran. Drop scripts/BUILD.bazel and declare `//pi/hitl:hitl_shim` in pi/hitl/BUILD
(srcs = scripts/hitl_shim.py) so scripts/ stays part of //pi/hitl and the seed
targets resolve again.

Verified: `bazel build --nobuild //...` loads clean, the hitl-tag query returns
the five harness tests, and hitl_shim / seed_wifi / seed_tailscale_authkey all
resolve.

map_upload reddened CI on `ws never came up … timed out during opening
handshake`: after a cold --erase-fs flash the DUT reformats littlefs, joins
WiFi, re-issues the LAN cert and restarts the TLS server, which occasionally
runs past the 25s wss-settle window. The four on-hardware wss opens (map_upload,
mapping, e2e, fx_bench) now wait 60s. Pure slack — a warm DUT answers on the
first attempt (0 retries observed), so the happy path is unchanged; the extra
window is only consumed when a cold boot is genuinely slow to bring up wss:443.

Confirmed flaky first (3 PASS / 2 FAIL across CI + local rig runs), in two
independent spots: this settle race, and inherent BLE/improv provisioning
(already bounded by 3 retries + hard reset, left as-is).

…iness)

The intermittent map_upload/e2e failures on the rig were misdirected
provisioning, not a firmware or timing bug. A serial trace showed the harness
flashing the reserved DUT (c6-123170 = 8C:FD:49:12:31:72 "Led Widget CA2BFE",
which booted healthy with wss on :443) while the BLE provisioner connected to a
DIFFERENT board in RF range — a ghost left renamed + powered by a prior e2e run
("HITL Test 13679", 58:E6:C5:FA:33:06) — and ran the whole test against it. That
stray board's drifting TLS state produced the ConnectionResetError storms and
the mangled-first-frame "envelope has no message set" errors.

_run_provisioner never passed --address, so the scan took whatever named Improv
device answered first. Fix: read the reserved board's BLE advertising MAC off
its OWN serial (hitl-monitor reads that specific USB port, so the MAC is
guaranteed to be the flashed board), then pin the Improv scan to it. A stray
board can no longer be provisioned in place of ours; a failed MAC read falls
back to the old name scan with a warning. The reset-to-read also lands the board
in the clean soft-AP first-join state provisioning already prefers.

Centralized in provision.py, so all five hardware drivers benefit. Adds
//pi/hitl/harness:serial_probe, the diagnostic that found this (flash, stream
serial while provisioning + hammering the wss open).

Validated on the rig: map_upload 4/4 + e2e all green, every run pinned to
8c:fd:49:12:31:72 — vs the prior pass/fail randomness on the stray board.

sweep256 swung +6.1% run-to-run and tripped the 5% default in CI (frame=1028494
vs golden 969585). Widen the blanket default to a deliberately safe 10% until we
do a comprehensive per-effect run-to-run variance measurement and tighten it back
down. sweep16 keeps its looser 15%; the now-redundant empty override (was 10%)
drops out under the new default. Updated both the golden's fxBenchMargins block
and the _GOLDEN_* emit-golden constants so a regeneration reproduces the file.
