crypto.randomUUID() is only exposed on secure contexts (HTTPS, localhost,
127.0.0.1, ::1). When Velxio is self-hosted and accessed via a LAN IP over
plain HTTP (e.g. http://192.168.31.139:3080/), crypto.randomUUID is
undefined and any code path that calls it throws TypeError.
This silently broke ESP32 simulation start for self-hosters: the frontend
generates a UUID for the WS client_id when Run is clicked; the throw
rejected the promise before reaching the WS connect, so the backend
never got the start request — no worker spawned, logs empty, simulation
"didn't start" with no visible error.
Same root cause would also break the multi-file editor (createFile,
createFileGroup) on the same LAN-HTTP self-host setup, just less
observably.
Add a single generateUUID() helper that:
1. Uses crypto.randomUUID() when available (secure context fast path).
2. Falls back to crypto.getRandomValues() — which IS available in
non-secure contexts — to build a v4 UUID by hand.
3. Final fallback to Math.random() if even that is missing
(defensive — Web Crypto getRandomValues has been universal for
years).
Replace all 6 crypto.randomUUID() call sites:
- frontend/src/simulation/Esp32Bridge.ts (2 sites — getTabSessionId)
- frontend/src/store/useEditorStore.ts (4 sites — file IDs)
Reported by a self-hoster on OrangePi 5B accessing Velxio via LAN IP.
DevTools console showed:
TypeError: crypto.randomUUID is not a function
at Ph (...) at wh.connect (...) at startBoard (...)

The project save/load pipeline only persisted a single `board_type`, so
multi-board workspaces silently lost every board except the active one
on save, and wires referencing the dropped boards' IDs orphaned to the
canvas corner on reload. An audit of the production backup found 74/306
projects (24%) with at least one orphaned wire and 174/301 non-trivial
projects whose code was still the default Blink template — strong signal
that users save once and never re-save.
Backend
- Add `boards_json` column on `projects` with idempotent ALTER TABLE in
the lifespan migration list.
- New `FileGroup` schema + `file_groups` array on
ProjectCreate/Update/Response. Legacy `files`/`code` kept for back-compat.
- `project_files.py` now uses `{pid}/{groupId}/{filename}` subdirs via
`read_groups`/`write_groups`. Legacy flat layouts are auto-promoted on
read; legacy single-list `files` only updates the active group, leaving
other boards' files intact.
- `_persist_files_from_body` honors file_groups → files → code priority.
Frontend
- `useSimulatorStore.addBoard` accepts an optional `explicitId` so
saved board IDs can be restored verbatim (wires reference IDs literally).
- New `loadProjectState({boards, fileGroups, components, wires,
activeBoardId})` action: tears down current boards, recreates from the
payload, restores file groups atomically, recalculates wire positions
on the next frame, and refreshes the Interconnect.
- `useEditorStore.replaceFileGroups` for atomic multi-group restore.
- `SaveProjectModal` and `ProjectByIdPage`/`ProjectPage` now go through
`buildSavePayload` / `buildLoadPayload` (handles pre-backfill projects
by synthesising a default board from `board_type`).
Auto-save (#useAutoSaveProject hook)
- 2.5s debounced silent PUT triggered ONLY when an authenticated user
has a `currentProject` with a UUID. State hash detects real changes
vs. UI-only churn; baseline is reset on project load so the just-loaded
state isn't immediately re-saved.
- `beforeunload` flush via `fetch keepalive: true` (supports PUT +
credentials, survives unload).
- Compact status indicator in `AppHeader` (idle/dirty/saving/saved/error).
Backfill script (one-off, idempotent)
- `backend/scripts/backfill_boards_2026_05.py` populates `boards_json`
for legacy projects. Heuristic per project, based on which board IDs
the wires reference:
Case A — wires only ref 'arduino-uno' but board_type ≠ uno:
rename id→board_type and rewrite wire endpoints.
Case B — single-board normal: keep verbatim.
Case C — multi-board: recreate one board per distinct ref, infer
kind by stripping trailing -N suffix.
Also moves any flat files into the active board's group subdir.
Stdlib-only, runs from host or `docker exec`.
Docker
- `Dockerfile.standalone` now copies `backend/scripts/` into the image
so the backfill is callable via `docker exec velxio-app python
/app/scripts/backfill_boards_2026_05.py --apply`.
Verified locally on the restored production backup (363 projects):
33 Case A, 316 Case B, 14 Case C, 135 wire endpoints renamed, 0 orphans.
Re-running the script after apply skips all 363 (idempotent).

- Developed end-to-end tests for ESP32 with custom chips using I2C and SPI, validating synchronous communication through the backend.
- Introduced GPIO bridge tests to verify serial communication and GPIO state changes.
- Ensured all tests validate the expected behavior of the custom chips and their interaction with the ESP32 firmware.
https://github.com/kritishmohapatra/100_Days_100_IoT_Projects
- Introduced `_lib.py` containing shared validators for board support and static source analysis for MicroPython projects.
- Added `conftest.py` to configure pytest for the test suite, simplifying import paths.

- Implemented unit tests for the unsupported projects to verify the presence of the NOT_SUPPORTED marker and source preservation.
Fixes the user-reported bug where two RPi Pico W boards wired GP0↔GP1
running SerialPassthrough don't communicate. Replaces the broken
broadcast-style cross-board logic in addBoard (only routed AVR↔Pi3B,
ignored wires entirely, no RP2040↔anything path) with a wire-aware
Interconnect singleton.
Architecture: digital pin transitions are the lowest-common-denominator
abstraction. Each simulator's hardware peripherals (UART/I2C/SPI) and
bit-banging libraries (SoftwareSerial, software I2C) decode the
transitions naturally — propagate the pin and the protocols come for
free. For cross-process boards (ESP32 backend QEMU, Pi3B QEMU) a
byte-level shortcut is additionally enabled on hardware-UART pin
pairs to handle high-baud links over WebSocket latency.
Implementation:
- New simulation/Interconnect.ts singleton subscribes to wire/board
changes via the Zustand store. Handlers per tier: browser-sim →
pinManager.onPinChange, ESP32 → Esp32Bridge.sendPinEvent, Pi3B →
bridge.sendPinEvent. Re-entrancy guard via per-(board,pin) Set.
- New utils/boardProtocols.ts classifies pins (uart-tx, i2c-sda, etc.)
per board kind, used as optimization hint for the byte shortcut.
- types/wire.ts: added signalType field, exports WireSignalType /
WireColorMap (fixes a pre-existing TS import error in wireColors).
- Deleted the bridgeMap/simulatorMap broadcast forEach blocks in
addBoard. Initial board + future boards register with Interconnect
via setInterconnectRuntime + store subscription.
- PinManager.resetPinStates() helper for test isolation.
Tests (16 new files, 96 tests, all passing):
- Per-pair × per-protocol matrix: dual-arduino-digital,
dual-pico-digital, arduino-pico-digital, triple-pico-digital-chain,
dual-arduino-hw-uart, dual-arduino-software-serial,
arduino-pico-mixed-uart, arduino-esp32-uart, dual-esp32-uart,
pi3-pico-uart, arduino-pico-i2c, arduino-arduino-spi,
interconnect-routing, dual-arduino-multi-protocol (UART+I2C+SPI+
digital + concurrent), dual-pico-multi-protocol (UART0+UART1 alt+
I2C0+I2C1+SPI0+digital + 3-Pico star topology)
- Updated dual-pico-serial-passthrough to assert correct behaviour
- Backend test/multi_board_esp32/test_dual_esp32_serial.py for two
real QEMU instances (skip-graceful when lcgamboa lib absent)
Verified: 1107/1107 tests pass, zero regressions, vite build OK.

Track per-user, per-project, and per-board usage to inform pricing tier
decisions. Adds an admin dashboard with KPIs (DAU/WAU/MAU, totals,
success rate), time-series charts for compiles/runs, board family +
FQBN breakdowns, "board diversity" pie chart (key freemium signal),
top users/projects, and per-country breakdown via Cloudflare's
CF-IPCountry header. Admin can now also view private projects.
Backend:
- New UsageEvent table (append-only event log with user_id, project_id,
event_type, board_fqbn/family, country, error_kind, duration_ms)

signup_country, last_country) and Project (compile/run/update counts,
last_compiled/run timestamps) kept in sync by MetricsService for O(1)
dashboard reads
- 10 admin endpoints under /api/admin/metrics/{overview, timeseries,
boards, board-diversity, top-users, top-projects, countries,
users/{id}, projects/{id}}
- POST /api/metrics/run for client-side run telemetry

Loading an analog-only example removes every board. The single-board
branch of loadExample then called setBoardType, which only maps over
existing entries in boards[] and silently did nothing when the array
was empty — components rendered but no board. Fall back to addBoard +
setActiveBoardId when there are no boards.
