The hand-drawn SVGs in Bmp280Element.ts and Attiny85Element.ts were
functional but obviously amateur next to a real Fritzing-drawn part.
Both components now mount the equivalent Fritzing breadboard SVG as a
public static asset (`<image href>` in the shadow DOM SVG), with pin
coordinates remapped to the new artwork and pin-name labels overlaid
on top so the user can still read each connector at a glance.
frontend/public/component-svgs/bmp280.svg (new)
Verbatim copy of third-party/fritzing-parts/svg/core/breadboard/
bmp180_breadboard.svg. The Adafruit BMP180 breakout is the
mechanically identical Bosch predecessor — same I2C interface,
same 4-pin pinout. Pin labels lifted from the matching .fzp.
frontend/public/component-svgs/attiny85.svg (new)
Verbatim copy of the Fritzing ATtiny85 DIP-8 breadboard art.
Bmp280Element.ts
Width 80×100 px (Fritzing aspect 28.35:35.43 ≈ 0.8:1, exact uniform
scale of 2.822 px/mm). Pin coords for SDA / SCL / GND / VCC matched
to the connector centres in the source SVG. Pin labels overlaid on
top. Existing wired example (esp32-bmp280) re-routes automatically
because the wire system reads coords by pin name from pinInfo.
Attiny85Element.ts
Width 160×132 px (Fritzing aspect 28.801:23.768 ≈ 1.21:1, exact
uniform scale of 5.555 px/mm). The Fritzing layout puts pins on the
TOP and BOTTOM edges (4 each), not LEFT and RIGHT like the older
hand-drawn version. Pin coords land on clean numbers
(x ∈ {20, 60, 100, 140}, y ∈ {6, 126}). Built-in LED on PB1 stays
as an overlaid circle outside the chip body.
Wires in the existing attiny85-* examples re-route automatically by
pin name; external components positioned to the right of the chip
may need a manual nudge for clean routing — but they work.
frontend/src/components/simulator/BoardOnCanvas.tsx
attiny85: { w: 160, h: 100 } → { w: 160, h: 132 } to match the new
aspect ratio. Same width as before so the chip occupies the same
horizontal slot in existing example layouts.
scripts/component-overrides.json
BMP280 thumbnail updated to mirror the Fritzing colour scheme
(dark blue PCB, BMP180 silkscreen, four gold connector circles)
so picker and canvas feel consistent.
frontend/public/components-metadata.json
Regenerated.
docs/THIRD_PARTY.md
New "Fritzing parts library" section. Both new assets are listed
with their upstream paths plus the CC-BY-SA licence and link to
the parts repo. Future Fritzing copies must be added there too.

Closes the loop on the four ESP32 fixes that landed earlier in this
series. Each previously-broken or noisy example now has a regression
test that compiles the sketch through the production ESP-IDF compiler
and runs it in QEMU via esp32_worker.py — the same code path the
WebSocket /ws/{client_id} endpoint drives in production. Testing the
worker directly skips the WS transport but exercises the same compile
→ flash → boot → serial cascade.
Coverage:
- TestEsp32SerialCleanliness — DHT22, Servo+Pot, Joystick, Dual ADC
Asserts the user's Serial.print substring shows up AND no
`I (xxx) gpio:|wifi:|phy:` info-level ESP-IDF logs leak through.
This validates the sdkconfig CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL_WARN change
from commit b373c97.
- TestEsp32CompileSuccess — BLE Advertise, LEDC RGB
BLE Advertise validates the sdkconfig switch to Bluedroid (was
NimBLE-only, which broke arduino-esp32's BLEDevice.h).
LEDC RGB validates velxio_compat.h's ledcAttach() shim from
commit f6f6f43; the sketch uses the arduino-esp32 3.x one-shot API
on a 2.0.17 toolchain.
- TestEsp32WiFiSketches — WiFi Connect, WiFi WebServer
Regression coverage to make sure the sdkconfig changes didn't break
WiFi association. Connect must reach an "IP Address:" line; Server
must report "Server started".
- frontend/src/__tests__/component-metadata-bmp280.test.ts
Sanity check that the BMP280 entry from commit 1f3f2e0 survives
metadata regeneration.
All ESP-IDF/QEMU tests use unittest.skipUnless on
_toolchain_available() so they no-op cleanly on dev boxes without
libqemu-xtensa, and only do real work in the Docker CI image.
Sketches are inlined verbatim from the public Velxio examples.

A beta tester reported "BMP280 - module graphic missing" — picking the
example loaded a working sketch but the canvas component fell back to
the MPU6050 placeholder.
Bmp280Element.ts already exists and registers velxio-bmp280 with the
right pinInfo, but it was never injected into components-metadata.json,
so the component picker and CircuitPreview didn't know about it. Add
an entry in scripts/component-overrides.json under _customComponents
(per CLAUDE.md §6b — direct edits to the generated JSON would be
clobbered by the next metadata regen) and regen.
The thumbnail mirrors the GY-BMP280 breakout look from the Web
Component itself: green PCB, black die label, four gold pin pads.

Beta testers saw raw `[0;32m` and `[0m` text mixed into the serial
monitor for several ESP32 examples. Those are ANSI SGR escapes the
ESP-IDF logger emits to color INFO/WARN lines on a real terminal. Our
<pre> renders them literally because there was no ANSI handling in
the path.
Strip the SGR sequences (`\x1b\[[0-9;]*m`) before the IP-linkifier so
the user only sees plain text. Combined with the sdkconfig change that
drops the default log level to WARN, the ESP32 output is now as clean
as the AVR output.

Replaces the window.confirm("Delete X?") modal with a footer that flips
into a "Delete X?" prompt + Cancel / Delete pair when the user arms the
delete. Less jarring on mobile (no native dialog), keeps the user's
flow inside the property panel.
The two hand-rolled curved-arrow SVGs I drew in bd5fd18 looked off — the
arrowheads were misaligned and the curve clipped at the bottom of the
viewBox. Swapped both for the canonical lucide-react icons (Undo2 /
Redo2), which match the visual weight + alignment of the rest of the
toolbar.
lucide-react was already in the OSS deps (added when other parts of the
app started using it). No new dependency.

UI-facing half of the undo/redo feature. Combined with the previous two
commits, Ctrl+Z (or the toolbar button) now reverses every canvas
mutation: add/remove component, move, rotate, set property, add/remove
wire.
EditorPage.tsx:
- New window-keydown effect for Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y / Ctrl+Shift+Z (and the
Cmd equivalents). Uses the same input/textarea/contenteditable guard
as the existing Ctrl+S handler — Monaco's per-file undo and the AI
chat composer keep their own behaviour.
SimulatorCanvas.tsx:
- Two icon buttons (undo + redo) added to the canvas header, between
the board selector and the Serial Monitor toggle. Tooltip surfaces
the next command's description ("Undo: Add LED (Ctrl+Z)") so the
user knows exactly what's about to revert. Buttons disable when the
stack is empty in that direction.
- New `canvas-icon-btn` CSS class for square 32×32 icon-only buttons
(matches the visual weight of the existing Serial button without
the label).
- Subscribes to history / historyIndex via store selectors so the
buttons re-render reactively as commands are pushed/undone.
No new tests — the store-level coverage from 99ed22b already exercises
undo/redo round trips. UI affordances are wired pass-through to those
store APIs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Wires every user-initiated canvas mutation in SimulatorCanvas to the
recorded variants added in 99ed22b, so Ctrl+Z (next commit) can roll
each one back as a single step.
Routed through record*:
- handleSelectComponent (picker → add) → recordAddComponent
- Delete keyboard handler (selectedComponentId branch) → recordRemoveComponent
- handleRotateComponent → recordRotate (still mutates live via
updateComponent so the rotation visually applies; record stores the
prev/next angles for undo)
- Drag → recordMove on mouseup. Captures component.x/y at mousedown in
a new dragStartPosRef and only records on actual drag-end (skips the
click branch that just opens the property dialog).
- Pin-click "finish wire" path → calls finishWireCreation (which
atomically appends the wire) then pushes a CanvasCommand for that
wire with applyNow:false (state is already at post-add).
- Selected-wire delete (keyboard + SelectionActionBar + PinPickerDialog)
→ recordRemoveWire
- Selection action bar component delete → recordRemoveComponent
- Pin picker dialog component delete → recordRemoveComponent
- ComponentPropertyDialog onPropertyChange → updateComponent applies
live, then recordSetProperty captures prev/next so Ctrl+Z reverts the
value without re-running the raw mutation.
Cleaned up unused destructures of addComponent / removeComponent /
removeWire from the original useSimulatorStore() call — every call site
now uses the record* equivalents.
No new keyboard shortcuts or toolbar buttons in this commit; that's
landing next.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds the foundation for canvas undo/redo. UI wiring, keyboard shortcuts,
toolbar buttons and agent-tools refactor land in follow-up commits.
useSimulatorStore.ts:
- New CanvasCommand type — { description, execute, undo }.
- HISTORY_MAX = 50 (oldest entries dropped on overflow).
- New state: history[] + historyIndex (-1 = empty).
- New APIs: pushCommand(cmd, {applyNow?}), undo, redo, canUndo, canRedo,
clearHistory.
- New "recorded" actions that wrap raw mutators with a CanvasCommand:
recordAddComponent, recordRemoveComponent, recordMove, recordRotate,
recordSetProperty, recordAddWire, recordRemoveWire, recordUpdateWire.
- recordRemoveComponent captures both the component AND any wires that
cascade with it, so undo restores both atomically.
- recordMove also re-runs updateWirePositions on undo/redo so wire
endpoints follow the component back/forward.
- setComponents and setWires (project-load / clear paths) now call
clearHistory inline — leaving stale commands pointing at IDs that no
longer exist would crash on undo.
Why custom Command pattern over zundo / travels:
- The store has 30+ ephemeral fields (simulator instances, serialOutput
growing byte-by-byte, hexEpoch counter, wireInProgress that ticks 60×/s
on drag). Snapshot/diff middleware would either burn memory tracking
them or need a fragile partialize allow-list.
- Per-op descriptions ("Add LED", "Move resistor") for tooltips come for
free with this approach; zundo/travels would need to infer them.
Tests: 15/15 in src/__tests__/undo-redo.test.ts — covers cap-at-50,
redo-truncation, cascade undo of remove-component, move/rotate/property
round trips, bulk-setter clearing.
Raw mutators (addComponent / removeComponent / updateComponent / addWire /
removeWire / updateWire) are unchanged. UI handlers can keep using them
during live drags for preview frames without spamming history; the
record* actions are what drag-end, click-finish and agent tools should
call going forward.

- Replace the "DMC" initials placeholder with the GitHub avatar
(https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/47928504?v=4). The CSS for
.about-creator-avatar already had the rounded frame; just swapped to
object-fit: cover so the <img> fills the circle correctly, plus a
subtle ring + drop shadow.
- Add a "Recent releases" section between the Creator block and the
personal-story quote, with two cards:
- Velxio 2.5 (Latest) → /v2-5 (ngspice-WASM analog co-simulation)
- Velxio 2.0 → /v2
Each card has a tagline + 2-3 line blurb. The 2.5 card gets a blue
border + "Latest" tag so it reads as the current launch. About now
surfaces both release pages, which previously were only linked from
the Circuit/Electronics/SPICE simulator pages.

- Implemented PinPickerDialog for selecting pins on touch devices.
- Added SelectionActionBar for managing selected items with touch actions.
- Created WireModeBanner to provide feedback during wire creation.
- Introduced useTouchDevice utility for detecting coarse pointer input.
- Refactored WireLayer to utilize useIsCoarsePointer for touch detection.
Previous commit unconditionally enabled preserveSymlinks when
VITE_PRO_BUILD was set. That works for `vite dev` (where the overlay
is wired in via a Windows junction and the resolver needs to keep the
junction path so relative imports back into the OSS sibling dirs
resolve), but it BREAKS `vite build` in Docker — there are no symlinks
to preserve, and Rollup with preserveSymlinks=true fails to resolve
relative imports from the copied overlay tree:
Could not resolve "../../../services/componentRegistry"
from "src/pro/agent/tools/canvas.ts"
Gate the flag on `command === 'serve'` so it only kicks in during dev.
Production builds always run with preserveSymlinks=false (the default).

Discovery regex was matching only single-quoted ID literals, so the
auto-generated examples-100-days.ts file (which uses double-quoted
strings, by convention of its Python emitter) was completely missed.
Same for picow-wifi: the script wasn't reading examples-picow-wifi.ts
at all.
Two-line fix in scripts/capture-example-thumbs.mjs: the regex now
accepts both `'…'` and `"…"`, and the data-file list includes
examples-picow-wifi.ts.
Captured slugs:
- 49 × `100d-*` (100 Days of IoT — MicroPython on ESP32 / Pico)
- 4 × `picow-*` (Pico W WiFi — async LED, relay web server,
servo web, websocket LED)
Coverage: 219/226 examples (97%). The 7 still falling back to
CircuitPreview are component-ID literals (`epaper-1in54-bw`,
`epaper-2in13-bw`, etc.) that the regex over-matches — they 404
on /examples/<slug> because they aren't real example IDs.

Changes that ship to OSS — all benign for self-hosters, but most are
extension points the velxio-prod overlay (and any private fork) needs to
plug an in-editor AI chat into the page.
Editor:
- 3-way view-mode toggle (code / both / circuit) in the unified toolbar.
Lets users hide a pane to give a right-docked sidebar (e.g. the AI
chat overlay) more breathing room. Persisted in useEditorStore.
- Default file explorer narrower (210 → 165 px); min 110.
- Removed the redundant `tb-board-pill` (icon + "Editing: X" tooltip);
the BoardSelector dropdown elsewhere already shows the active board.
- Inlined Import/Export/Upload-firmware buttons; the 3-dot overflow
menu gave up too much discoverability. Removed dead overflow state.
Simulator:
- Fix: global Delete/Backspace handler in SimulatorCanvas no longer
fires when the event target is an INPUT/TEXTAREA/SELECT/contentEditable
— affected any in-page text field, not just the chat overlay.
Overlay extensibility:
- New `data-velxio-slot="agent-chat"` at the bottom of EditorPage so
pro overlays can portal a chat panel into the editor without
forking the page.
- vite.config.ts: preserveSymlinks=true when VITE_PRO_BUILD is set.
Lets local-dev junctions (overlay tree → frontend/src/pro) resolve
bare imports back to the OSS node_modules without resolving symlinks.
Deps:
- Added react-markdown + remark-gfm (rendered chat output) and
@google/genai + zod (overlay agent loop). Tree-shaken from the OSS
bundle when no pro code imports them.
gitignore:
- Ignore backend/app/pro/ and frontend/src/pro/ junctions used by
developers running a private overlay against the OSS dev server.

The ePaper examples in examples-displays-epaper.ts use slugs prefixed
`epaper-*` (e.g. `epaper-1in54-uno-hello`), but the previous discovery
regex was matching `epd-*` — those are ePaper-component IDs that
appear in wire definitions, NOT example IDs. So /examples/epd-154
returns 404 ("Example Not Found") and the 7 actual ePaper examples
were never captured.
Fix: discovery regex now reads `epaper-` (the real prefix). Captured
all 7:
- epaper-1in54-uno-hello (Uno + 1.54" SSD1681)
- epaper-2in13-pico-clock (Pico + 2.13")
- epaper-2in9-esp32-weather (ESP32 + 2.9" weather panel)
- epaper-4in2-pico-image (Pico + 4.2" image)
- epaper-7in5-esp32-dashboard (ESP32 + 7.5" dashboard)
- epaper-2in9-bwr-esp32-alert (ESP32 + 2.9" black-white-red)
- epaper-5in65-7c-esp32-rainbow (ESP32 + 5.65" 7-color)
Coverage now: 166/166 examples (was 159/166).

The analog-only circuits in examples-analog.ts (slugs prefixed `an-*`)
have no SEO route — they aren't in sitemap.xml — and the capture
script previously discovered slugs from sitemap only, so all 30
fell through to the CircuitPreview SVG mock which doesn't draw the
wires for these layouts.
Updated discovery: also grep the local velxio submodule's
examples-analog.ts for `an-*` ID literals (and `100d-*` / `epd-*`
while we're at it for the 100-days and epaper data files), in
addition to the sitemap pull.
Updated wait condition: capture now waits for any board OR component
OR wire path inside .canvas-world, not specifically [data-board-id]
(analog-only examples have no Arduino, just a signal-generator + parts).
Coverage: 159/166 examples have real screenshots now (was 129/166).
The 7 `epd-*` epaper examples are still falling back to CircuitPreview
because they don't render an "Open in Simulator" CTA on /examples/<slug>;
they'll need a separate loader path.
Re-captured the 109 existing thumbs at the same time — content is
visually identical for those, no regression.

The PNG fallbacks were carrying 80% of the gallery's bundled weight
(16 MB of 20 MB) and serving virtually no traffic — WebP is supported
on ~97% of in-use browsers, and the few hold-outs (very old Safari)
fall through to the CircuitPreview SVG mock via the existing onError
handler. No visual regression for modern browsers.
Numbers:
- before: 258 files, ~20 MB total
- after: 129 files, ~3.6 MB total (avg 28.6 KB / WebP)
ExampleThumbnail simplified: drops the <picture>/<source> wrap around
the WebP <source> + PNG fallback, just renders the WebP <img> directly
with onError → CircuitPreview.

Adds the slugs that hadn't been captured in the first batch (some
extra coverage from a later examples-* file, plus 10 retries that
hit a transient waitForLoadState timeout on the first sweep).
Coverage is now 129/129 — every example exposed via sitemap.xml has
a real canvas screenshot. The few that still 404 (slugs only present
in non-sitemap data files) keep the CircuitPreview fallback.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replaces the manually-positioned wokwi-element mock (CircuitPreview) in
the /examples gallery with real screenshots of the actual simulator
canvas, so each card shows the example's boards + components + wires
exactly as they appear when you open the example.
How it works
- A new <ExampleThumbnail> component tries
/examples-thumbs/<id>.{webp,png} first. If the image 404s — or no
thumbnail has been captured yet — it falls back to the existing
CircuitPreview component. No-op for examples without a screenshot.
- ExamplesGallery and ExampleDetailPage now render <ExampleThumbnail>
instead of CircuitPreview directly.
- Explicit example.thumbnail field still wins (kept the existing
override path in case someone wants a custom asset).
Capture pipeline
- Generated by velxio-prod's scripts/capture-example-thumbs.mjs
(Playwright + sharp). For each example: opens /examples/<slug>,
clicks "Open in Simulator", waits for [data-board-id] elements,
computes the bbox of all boards + components, sets a transform on
.canvas-world to center and fit them with 12% padding inside the
canvas viewport, screenshots .canvas-content, and re-encodes to
600x360 @2x DPI as .png + .webp.
This commit ships the first batch (102 of ~129 examples — the rest
will follow once the capture completes; missing slugs gracefully
fall back to CircuitPreview in the meantime).

The marketing copy and docs claimed ESP32-C3 / XIAO-C3 / SuperMini /
CH32V003 ran on a "browser-native RV32IMC core written in TypeScript",
but production runs through QEMU lcgamboa (libqemu-riscv32) with the
esp32c3-picsimlab machine — same backend pattern as Xtensa ESP32, just
a different libqemu binary. The TypeScript ISA layer
(RiscVCore.ts / Esp32C3Simulator.ts / RiscVSimulator.ts) is kept only
as Vitest unit-test infrastructure for RV32IMC instruction decoding;
it cannot handle the 150+ ROM functions ESP-IDF needs at boot and is
not wired into the production emulation path.

Captures /examples/traffic-light → /editor in headless Chromium and saves
the rendered editor as a 3840x2160 (2x DPI) PNG + WebP for the landing
page hero.
The shot includes the code editor on the left (Traffic Light Simulator
.ino), the Arduino Uno on the canvas with three LEDs wired up, the SPICE
nets indicator, and the full chrome — a much stronger first impression
than the previous CSS-mocked schematic.
Generation script lives in the private velxio-prod repo
(scripts/capture-hero.mjs) and can be re-run any time to refresh the
asset against the live deployment.
- /marketing/hero-editor.png (320 KB)

Foundation
- Add 7 token CSS files in src/tokens/ — semantic colors, 4-pt spacing,
Apple-HIG type ramp, radius/elevation/motion/z-index scales.
- Refactor src/index.css to import tokens and remap legacy aliases
(--accent, --bg, etc.) onto the new --color-* semantics so existing
components keep rendering during migration.
- Drop the duplicate font-family from src/App.css; body inherits from :root.
- Global *:focus-visible ring backed by --color-focus-ring (WCAG 2.4.7).
Webfonts (self-hosted)
- Add Inter.var.woff2 (variable, OFL) and JetBrainsMono.var.woff2 to
public/fonts/. Preloaded in index.html with crossorigin.
- Old stack -apple-system kept as fallback so Mac users still get SF Pro.
- Fixes cross-OS rendering inconsistency (Win/Linux/Android were falling
back to Segoe UI / Roboto, breaking the type grid).
Component primitives
- New src/components/ui/{Button,Card,Input}.tsx + .css. Built on the
semantic tokens, ready for incremental migration of .ap-* CSS classes.
Lucide icons
- Replace 6 inline SVG icon components in LandingPage (IcoChip / IcoCpu /
IcoCode / IcoZap / IcoLayers / IcoMonitor) with lucide-react imports.
Aliased so call sites are unchanged. ~80 lines of inline SVG removed.
- IcoGitHub kept bespoke (filled glyph, brand-correct).
Marketing assets
- Convert top 8 boards to transparent PNG + WebP at 1x / 2x:
Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega 2560, Pi Pico, Pi Pico W, ESP32-C3,
ESP32-DevKit-V1, XIAO ESP32-S3.
- Migrate matching cards in LandingPage and Velxio2Page to <picture>
with WebP > PNG > SVG fallback. Other 8 boards keep <img src=*.svg>
for now (Raspberry Pi 3B, ESP32-CAM, etc.).
- Refresh og-image.png — same canonical URL, new content (4 hero boards
+ branding instead of generic logo card).
- Fix latent bug in LandingPage: ESP32 DevKit V1 card was loading
esp32-devkit-c-v4.svg; now uses esp32-devkit-v1.{webp,png,svg}.

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.

The previous hero ("Circuits + Code. / One Browser Tab. / SPICE-accurate.")
was optimised for EE engineers searching for circuit simulators. Most
visitors land here looking for an Arduino emulator they can use without
installing anything — the names of the supported boards are a stronger
hook than analog-simulation accuracy.
Restored the older "Arduino, ESP32 & Raspberry Pi. / Right in your
browser." framing and tightened the subtitle to action verbs (Write,
wire, run) plus concrete numbers (19 boards, 48+ parts). Drops:
- "SPICE-accurate" — kept on the dedicated /arduino-emulator,
/circuit-simulator etc. SEO landing pages where the audience is
actively looking for it
- "ngspice", "co-simulated", "custom chips in C or Rust" — niche, fit
better in the features section below
Forgotten in the prior commit (case-mismatch on Windows tracked the wrong
filename). Adds the public method overlays use to splice extra components
into the picker after default-metadata load. Components with an existing
id are replaced; new ones are appended.
Three small additions so private overlays can add components gated behind
a paid subscription without forking the picker:
- types/component-metadata.ts: optional pro_only?: boolean field on
ComponentMetadata. Self-hosters never set it; picker behaves identically.
- services/componentRegistry.ts: new mergeComponents() public method.
Pro overlay calls this after the default registry has loaded to splice
in extra components (replacing any with the same id).
- components/ComponentPickerModal.tsx: when a pro_only component is
clicked, the picker first calls window.__velxio_pro_gate__(component)
if defined. If the gate returns true, the click is consumed (overlay
shows an upgrade modal). If absent or returns false, the click passes
through to onSelectComponent as normal.
Net upstream change: ~25 lines, all backwards-compatible. OSS image
behaves exactly as before since no overlay sets pro_only or installs
the gate.
Two upstream additions to support private overlays implementing paid tiers
without forking client code:
- store/useAuthStore.ts: UserResponse extended with optional
is_paid_subscriber, subscription_status, subscription_period_end. The
backend now returns these in /api/auth/me; the persist middleware
serialises them automatically.
- pages/PricingPlaceholder.tsx (NEW): the /pricing route. Renders a polite
"this image is fully free" message for self-hosters plus a
data-velxio-slot="pricing-page" target where private overlays can
portal-inject a real pricing page.
- App.tsx: register the /pricing route after /about.
Self-hosted OSS image: /pricing shows the placeholder, no behavioural
change anywhere else. Production with a private overlay: /pricing shows
the overlay's full pricing UI.
Frontend build verified.
Three small markers (each one HTML attribute) so private overlays can
portal-inject UI into well-defined places without forking the upstream
component:
- AppHeader user dropdown: data-velxio-slot="user-menu"
Lets overlays add menu items between "My projects" and "Sign out"
(e.g. a Privacy / opt-out item).
- AdminPage tab bar: data-velxio-slot="admin-tabs"
Lets overlays add extra tabs alongside Dashboard / Users / Projects /
Boards (e.g. a Pro Analytics tab).
- AdminPage tab content area: data-velxio-slot="admin-tab-content"
Sibling div where overlay tab content can portal-render.
Generic markers, no overlay-specific code in upstream. Anyone with
private extensions can use them. The OSS build is otherwise unchanged.

Three small, backwards-compatible hooks let anyone with private features
(velxio.dev's analytics, custom integrations, paid tiers, …) layer them
on top of the open-source build without forking files.
Backend (app/main.py):
- After standard router registration, try-import an optional `app.pro`
module exposing `register_pro(app)`. ImportError is silently swallowed
(the OSS image doesn't ship `app.pro`, so this is a no-op there).
Frontend:
- EditorToolbar: new optional `rightSlot` prop renders extra elements
after the built-in right-group buttons (mirrors the existing
`centerSlot` pattern).
- main.tsx: dynamic `import('@pro/index')` gated by VITE_PRO_BUILD env.
When unset (OSS build), the branch is dead-code-eliminated and no pro
chunk is emitted.
- vite.config.ts: `@pro` alias resolves to `src/__pro_stub__/` by default.
Private builds set `VITE_PRO_BUILD=true` and `PRO_OVERLAY_PATH=<path>`
to point at their real overlay tree.
- src/__pro_stub__/index.ts: 1-line no-op `mountPro` so TypeScript and
Vite resolvers stay happy in OSS builds.
Verified: `npm run build:docker` succeeds; `npm test` passes 1161/1162;
the OSS bundle (43 MB) contains zero references to `__pro_stub__`,
`@pro`, or `pro/index` (verified via `grep dist/`).

Cold ESP-IDF builds (esp32, esp32-c3, esp32-cam) routinely take 5-10
minutes the first time a project is compiled. The 180s axios timeout
on POST /api/compile/ was cutting the connection long before the
backend finished, surfacing as the misleading 'No response from
server. Is the backend running on port 8001?' error.
Bumping the client timeout to 600s aligns with the nginx
proxy_read_timeout (also 600s) so the chain end-to-end is consistent.
Arduino sketches still compile in seconds — the timeout is an upper
bound, not a delay.

The 4 ESP32 ePaper examples (BW weather, BWR alert, UC8179 dashboard,
ACeP rainbow) wired GxEPD2 to GPIO 16 (RST) and GPIO 17 (DC), which is
the canonical pinout shown in every GxEPD2 example. But those pins are
not broken out on the DevKit V1 variant (PINS_ESP32) — they only exist
on DevKit-C-V4 (PINS_ESP32_DEVKIT_C_V4).
Result: the RST and DC wires fell back to (0,0) and rendered as a red
+ purple line shooting from the corner of the board. CLAUDE.md §6a
documents this exact symptom.
Switching boardType to 'esp32-devkit-c-v4' renders the variant whose
pinInfo includes 16 and 17. Also rename pinName 'GND' → 'GND.1' since
DevKit-C-V4 exposes three GND pins as GND.1/2/3 (not a plain 'GND').

A lock file pins platform-specific native binaries — Rollup, esbuild, swc.
A lock generated on Windows brings @rollup/rollup-win32-x64-msvc but no
Linux variant; a lock generated on Linux does the inverse. The Docker
build kept blowing up with MODULE_NOT_FOUND on rollup/dist/native.js
whenever the lock came from a contributor's non-Linux machine.
Trade-off: we lose npm's transitive-version pinning. Mitigated by:
- package.json caret ranges keep majors stable
- Docker image is rebuilt + retagged per release, so a deployed image
has a frozen dep set regardless of the lock
- Production uses a pinned upstream commit via velxio-prod's submodule,
not lock-driven repro
- Dependabot still flags vulnerable transitives via package.json scans
Changes:
- .gitignore: ignore package-lock.json everywhere
- .dockerignore: same (defense-in-depth — never enter build context)
- Dockerfile.standalone: keep `rm -f package-lock.json` as a safety net
for `docker build` runs from trees with a local lock
- frontend-tests.yml: `npm ci` → `npm install` (npm ci requires a lock)
- Delete the two committed locks (frontend/ + root). The test/* and
vscode-extension/* locks are left as-is — internal tooling, separate
install paths, not in the Docker build.

Resolves several install pain points reported by users (#108, #120) and
removes the obligatory upstream-clone step that confused contributors and
slowed down every Docker build.
Install fixes:
- nginx: server_name → catch-all default_server, drop Debian's stock site
so reverse-proxied users no longer get the "Welcome to nginx" page.
- entrypoint: auto-generate SECRET_KEY at first boot, persisted under
data/.secret_key. backend/.env is now optional in docker-compose.yml.
- backend: add greenlet>=3.0.0 (SQLAlchemy async dep that was missing on
some Python builds — caused uvicorn startup failures on WSL).
Wokwi libs come from npm:
- @wokwi/elements 1.9.2, avr8js 0.21.0, rp2040js 1.3.2 are pinned in
frontend/package.json. Vite aliases removed.
- Dockerfile.standalone no longer clones avr8js / rp2040js / wokwi-elements
/ wokwi-boards. Frontend stage is just COPY + npm install + build:docker.
- Board SVGs vendored under frontend/public/boards/ (10 deduped against
existing files, 2 truly new). third-party/wokwi-* clones become reference-
only credits — generate-component-metadata.ts skips gracefully when absent.
Production config split out:
- docker-compose.prod.yml, deploy/nginx.prod.conf, nginx-host-velxio*.conf,
update-third-party.bat removed. Production deployment lives in its own
repo: https://github.com/velxio/velxio-prod (host nginx + HTTPS + backups
+ pinned upstream commit).
Verified locally: 1161 frontend tests pass, build:docker completes clean.

Without an ownership check, viewing someone else's project (admin
inspection, browsing public projects) caused the auto-save hook to
PUT the project on every store change. The backend correctly rejects
non-owner updates with 403, but the frontend surfaced these as
"save fail" to the user — misleading and noisy in logs.
The hook now stays idle unless the authenticated user matches
currentProject.ownerUsername. Manual saves through SaveProjectModal
are unaffected.

The directory grew well beyond Wokwi-only contents: it now hosts
lcgamboa's QEMU fork (qemu-lcgamboa), Espressif's esp32-camera, the
ngspice WASM build, fritzing-parts, picowi, an alternative QEMU
(qemu-esp32), the 100_Days_100_IoT_Projects examples repo, and
Wokwi's own avr8js/rp2040js/wokwi-elements/wokwi-features/wokwi-boards.
"wokwi-libs" was misleading — half the contents have nothing to do
with Wokwi. "third-party/" is the standard convention for vendored
external dependencies.
Mechanical changes:
Path rename:
wokwi-libs/ → third-party/
update-wokwi-libs.bat → update-third-party.bat
docs/WOKWI_LIBS.md → docs/THIRD_PARTY.md
Submodule reconfiguration:
.gitmodules — 4 path= and section names updated
.git/modules/wokwi-libs/ → .git/modules/third-party/
each submodule's .git file rewired to ../../.git/modules/third-party/<name>
Reference updates (~80 files): vite.config.ts aliases, Dockerfile
COPY paths, GH Actions workflow steps, build_qemu_*.sh, all
docs/* and test/*/autosearch/* entries that mention the path,
package-lock.json file: dependencies, .gitignore patterns,
sitemap.xml + index.html SEO blurbs, scripts/generate-component-*,
.dockerignore, .idea/vcs.xml. Bulk replaced both `wokwi-libs/`
(path) and bare `wokwi-libs` (textual mentions in docs/comments).
Verified:
- npx tsc -b --noEmit produces no new errors related to these paths
- vite.config.ts aliases now point at ../third-party/avr8js etc.
- All 4 git submodules (avr8js, rp2040js, wokwi-elements,
wokwi-features) are linked under third-party/ with their
worktrees re-populated and config files referencing the new path
- `grep -r wokwi-libs` returns zero hits outside node_modules,
.vite, frontend/dist, third-party/ (upstream submodule contents),
*.pyc caches, and *.dll.pre-camera rollback binaries

User goal: ESP32-CAM live preview that works with any webcam,
regardless of resolution, brand, or scene complexity. The previous
fixed-quality 0.28 was fragile (intermittent decode errors on
moving/textured scenes) and capped visual quality unnecessarily.
Two-layer fix; either alone is insufficient:
LAYER A — Bounded JPEG encoder (frontend, this repo)
frontend/src/hooks/useWebcamFrames.ts:
encodeBoundedJpeg() walks a quality ladder [0.6, 0.5, ..., 0.1]
until the JPEG fits in MAX_FRAME_BYTES (23 000). If even q=0.1
overshoots — extreme HD/4K scenes — falls back to a 240×180
downscaled canvas at q=0.4. Guarantees every emitted frame fits
the deliverable budget regardless of webcam hardware.
The hook now exposes lastQualityUsed + lastDownscaled so UI can
surface when auto-tuning kicks in.
frontend/src/components/simulator/CameraToggle.tsx:
Tooltip shows "(auto-tuned to q=0.X)" or "(auto-downscaled, q=0.X)"
while streaming so users see what the encoder picked.
LAYER B — Multi-lap descriptor ring walker (qemu-lcgamboa, submodule)
Bumps the QEMU per-frame deliverable cap from 8 KiB to ~32 KiB by
letting the walker reset the descriptor ring up to 4 times per
VSYNC. Submodule pointer bumped to eb8b7a5d.
Combined, the demo now supports:
- Cheap 480p webcams: q=0.6, 5-10 KiB JPEGs, sharp
- Logitech mid-range: q=0.5-0.6, 8-15 KiB JPEGs, sharp
- HD 1080p webcams: q=0.4-0.6, 15-23 KiB JPEGs, sharp
- 4K complex scenes: downscaled, still readable
Documented as bug closure in:
test/test-esp32-cam/autosearch/15_universal_webcam_compat.md
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
User reported "JPG Decompression Failed! Data format error" hitting
intermittently with quality 0.35. Worker log showed actual JPEG
payloads at 7959-8123 bytes per frame — right at the QEMU emulator's
8192-byte deliverable budget (8 EOFs × 1024 bytes from cam_hal's
default 16-descriptor ring).
The webcam JPEG encoder produces variable-size output: simple uniform
scenes compress to ~6 KiB, complex/textured/moving frames bloat to
~9-10 KiB. Anything over 8192 gets truncated mid-Huffman-scan in the
firmware framebuffer, my walker injects FF D9 at byte 8190 to keep
cam_verify_jpeg_eoi happy, but the upstream jpg2rgb565 actually
parses the structure and chokes on the truncated stream.
Quality 0.28 keeps even the worst-case complex frame comfortably
under 8 KiB. Visual quality is still much better than the 0.25
fallback — fine for a 160×120 preview where the user cares about
"is my face there" not "did the JPEG quantization tables converge".
Real long-term fix would be to bump EOFS_PER_FRAME and lift the 8 KiB
ceiling — but that touches the QEMU walker (DLL rebuild cycle) and
risks breaking the descriptor-ring math. Doing this frontend tweak
first to unblock the demo.

User reported the ESP32-CAM + ILI9341 live preview at ~1 frame/min.
Profile: 80×60 preview pushes 9600 SPI bytes per drawRGBBitmap, and
each byte was emitting a full {type:'spi_event'} JSON message over
the worker→backend→WS→frontend pipeline. Per-byte overhead ~150-200µs
in Python (json.dumps + sys.stdout.write+flush dominates) plus
asyncio + WS dispatch. Net: 1.5-2 sec/frame minimum, much worse with
GIL contention.
Fix: buffer MOSI bytes in the worker and emit a single base64-encoded
`spi_batch` message when CS goes HIGH (transaction ended) or the
buffer crosses 4 KiB. ~9600 events/frame collapse to ~3 messages.
backend/app/services/esp32_worker.py:_on_spi_event
- Add _spi_byte_buf bytearray + threading.Lock
- On op==0x00 (byte): append; flush early if buf >= 4096
- On op==0x01 (CS change): flush buffer, then emit the CS event
via the legacy spi_event channel (ePaper / custom chips that
observe CS still get it).
frontend/src/simulation/Esp32Bridge.ts
- New 'spi_batch' message handler decodes b64 and replays each
byte through the existing onSpiByte callback. Parts that
subscribed via simulator.spi.onByte don't notice the protocol
change. The 'spi_event' branch still handles CS changes plus
legacy single-byte payloads for backwards compat.
Now that 38 KB/frame is cheap, restore preview to 160×120 + JPEG
quality 0.35 in the gallery example. Real measured speedup: ~50× on
the QVGA preview demo. Real hardware was never affected — it runs
SPI at 80 MHz and pushes the bitmap in ~4 ms either way.
PSRAM emulation is unrelated to this bottleneck and was left untouched.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
User reported the live preview "looks slow" after the JPEG decode fix.
Diagnosis: each tft.drawRGBBitmap pushes width × height × 2 bytes over
SPI, and every byte takes a full QEMU → worker → backend (WS) → frontend
round-trip. At 160×120 that's 38 400 messages per frame; the bus
saturates at ~0.2 fps perceived.
Two changes shrink the per-frame SPI bandwidth:
1. Preview 160×120 → 80×60 (and JPG_SCALE_2X → JPG_SCALE_4X).
38 400 bytes/frame → 9 600 bytes/frame. Already 4× faster.
2. Status bar redraw throttled to every 10th frame instead of every
frame. The text writes (printf, fillRect, fillCircle) account for
another ~1-2 KB of SPI traffic per loop iteration. Skipping 9 of
every 10 redraws frees up a chunk more bandwidth without losing
the headline numbers (fps, frame counter) — they just refresh
once a second instead of 5x/sec.
Also dropped the trailing `delay(20)` — we don't need an artificial
throttle, the SPI bus is the throttle.
Real-hardware effect: zero. ESP32 SPI runs at 80 MHz; a full
160×120 bitmap pushes in ~4 ms either way.
Applied in two places:
- examples/esp32-cam-lcd-preview/esp32-cam-lcd-preview.ino
- frontend/src/data/examples.ts (in-app gallery copy)
Long-term plan: batch SPI bytes at the worker level (one WS message
per N bytes instead of per byte) — that's a deeper change in
qemu-lcgamboa + Esp32Bridge.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The ESP32-CAM + ILI9341 example was rendering grey-X "decode failed"
rectangles. Serial showed:
E (53868) esp_jpg_decode: JPG Decompression Failed!
Data format error
Root cause: the QEMU emulation delivers up to 8 KiB of JPEG bytes per
frame (8 EOFs × 1024 = 8192) plus a 2-byte FF D9 EOI injection at the
end of that window. Real webcam frames at quality 0.6 are ~11 KiB —
they get truncated mid-Huffman-scan in the firmware framebuffer.
cam_verify_jpeg_eoi accepts the frame (it found FF D9), but the
upstream jpg2rgb565() actually parses the JPEG and rejects the
truncated structure.
Quality 0.25 produces ~3-5 KiB JPEGs that fit the budget entirely.
The decoder finds the natural EOI well before our injection point,
parses cleanly, and renders to the TFT. Visual quality is fine for
an emulator preview — the user is seeing their webcam, not editing
print-quality photos.
Long-term fix is a smarter QEMU walker that ring-wraps to deliver
bigger JPEGs (>16 KiB possible by reusing descriptors mid-frame),
but that's a separate change in qemu-lcgamboa. This frontend tweak
unblocks the demo without another DLL rebuild cycle.

CI's Frontend Tests workflow had been failing on master for ~15 runs.
Two pre-existing issues, neither related to the SPI refactor in 8b1433d
or the ESP32-CAM work:
1. RP2040Simulator mock missing attachCyw43 method (23 test files)
PR #126 (8e769f8 "feat(multi-board): add wire-aware cross-board
interconnect router", merged 2026-04-25) added a Pico-W-specific
`sim.attachCyw43(bridge)` call inside addBoard(). The 23 test files
that mock RP2040Simulator with vi.fn weren't updated; whenever a
test path created a Pico W board the mock threw "TypeError:
sim.attachCyw43 is not a function" and aborted addBoard.
Fix: add `this.attachCyw43 = vi.fn()` to every affected mock.
Also pre-populate `this.spi = { onByte: null, completeTransfer: vi.fn() }`
so any future SPI-part tests don't trip on the new generic .spi
adapter from 8b1433d.
2. install-libraries.test.ts payload mismatch
PR #135 (b1026ec7 "library-version-uninstall", merged 2026-04-29)
extended `installLibrary(name)` to `installLibrary(name, version?)`
and now sends `{name, version: version ?? null}` over the wire.
The test still asserted `{name}` only and failed.
Fix: assert `{name, version: null}` for the no-version call.
Verified locally: 1161 passed | 1 skipped (was 1117 passed | 44 failed).
Backend E2E "Run HC-SR04 e2e test" is a separate failure that needs
its own investigation — it downloads QEMU binaries from a release and
runs real firmware compilation, which I can't reproduce on Windows.

Previous fix added an ESP32-specific code path inside ili9341Simulation
to subscribe to the QEMU worker's spi_event stream. That made the LCD
work on ESP32-CAM but left the underlying issue unsolved: every other
SPI part (custom chips, future SD-card emulators, the SSD168x ePaper
already in the codebase) would also need its own per-board branching.
The right shape: every simulator exposes a `.spi` member matching the
SAME SpiBusLike interface, and SPI parts hook .spi.onByte without
caring which board they're attached to. AVRSimulator already had
this — now everything else does too.
frontend/src/simulation/SpiBus.ts (new)
Defines the contract — `onByte: (mosi) => void | null` plus
optional `completeTransfer(miso)`. Documents the single-listener
semantics that AVR has had since day one.
frontend/src/store/useSimulatorStore.ts
Esp32BridgeShim gets a lazy `.spi` getter that wraps
bridge.onSpiByte (the per-byte WS event from the QEMU worker).
completeTransfer is a no-op because the worker drives MISO via
its own _spi_response global. Covers ESP32 (Xtensa), ESP32-S3,
ESP32-CAM, ESP32-C3 — every kind that routes through Esp32Bridge.
frontend/src/simulation/RP2040Simulator.ts
Adds a lazy `.spi` getter that re-routes rp2040.spi[0].onTransmit
through the adapter. Default loopback (the prior behaviour) is
preserved when no part has accessed `.spi` yet — only consumers
that opt in see their handler invoked. Covers Pico and Pico W.
frontend/src/simulation/parts/ComplexParts.ts
ili9341Simulation no longer has an ESP32 special case. Single
code path: `simulator.spi.onByte = handler`. Works on AVR,
RP2040, all ESP32 variants. Same pattern is now available to
every future SPI part — ssd1306, sd-card, oled, etc.
The Esp32Bridge.ts spi_event field-name fix from 6afa62e (msg.data.event
instead of the non-existent msg.data.data) stays in place — that's what
makes the per-byte stream actually arrive in the bridge.
Verified: ILI9341 + ESP32-CAM gallery example renders the live webcam
preview after a hard refresh. The same simulation code works on Arduino
Uno + ILI9341 (the existing ili9341-test-sketch in example_zip).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The ILI9341 part simulation only hooked AVR's SPI peripheral. For
ESP32 the simulator is Esp32BridgeShim (no .spi member), so
attachEvents bailed early and the LCD stayed black even though the
firmware was driving SPI traffic correctly.
The QEMU worker already emits per-byte spi_event WS messages
(see backend/app/services/esp32_worker.py::_on_spi_event), and the
Esp32Bridge already had an onSpiEvent hook — but the bridge was
reading msg.data.data (a non-existent field) instead of decoding
the worker's {bus, event, response} format. Fixed.
Two changes:
1. Esp32Bridge.ts: decode the spi_event payload correctly. The
worker encodes byte transfers as `mosi << 8` (op = low byte = 0x00)
and CS-line changes as `((cs<<1)|level) << 8 | 0x01` (op == 0x01).
Added onSpiByte (per-byte) and onSpiCsChange callbacks alongside
the existing onSpiEvent for backwards compat.
2. ComplexParts.ts ili9341Simulation: detect Esp32BridgeShim via
`getBridge()` duck-type check. When present, subscribe to
bridge.onSpiByte and feed bytes into the same processCommand /
processData pipeline used by the AVR path. DC tracking via
pinManager.onPinChange already works for ESP32 because the bridge
fires triggerPinChange on every gpio_change WS event.
Verified end-to-end: ESP32-CAM + ILI9341 example in the gallery now
renders the live webcam preview to the simulated TFT (160×120 RGB565
centered in the 320×240 panel) at ~3-4 fps.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds two listed examples to the gallery (book icon → Examples) so
users can one-click load the new ESP32-CAM emulation:
1. ESP32-CAM: Webcam Demo (sensors / beginner)
Minimal sketch — init OV2640, verify SCCB chip-id, loop on
esp_camera_fb_get() printing frame metadata to Serial. Proves
the emulation is alive without any external components.
2. ESP32-CAM + ILI9341 Live Preview (displays / intermediate)
Full demo — decode JPEG with jpg2rgb565() (built-in to
esp32-camera/conversions, header exposed by the Velxio compile
template) and render the resulting RGB565 bitmap to a 320×240
SPI TFT. Pre-wired diagram: ILI9341 connected via VSPI to GPIOs
12-15 (the only block free after OV2640 takes over the rest of
the AI-Thinker pins).
Type changes:
- ExampleProject.boardType union extended with 'esp32-cam'
- BOARD_TABS in ExamplesGallery.tsx gets a new "ESP32-CAM" tab
(orange #d35400)
Both examples use boardFilter: 'esp32-cam' so they show under
the new tab and not the generic ESP32 one.
