The header rendered a "Saved" / "Unsaved changes" text pill next to the
menus whenever a project was loaded. It ate width in the one row that has
to hold the whole editor toolbar, and it duplicated a signal the Save
button in the workspace panel can carry by colour alone.
The pill is gone. FileExplorer takes the AutoSaveState and colours its Save
button: green saved, orange unsaved changes, pulsing while saving, red on
failure; grey (unchanged) with no project loaded. The tooltip carries what
the pill used to say plus the last-save time. Nine locales get the four new
strings under editor.fileExplorer with English fallbacks.
AppHeader no longer takes autoSave; EditorPage passes it to FileExplorer
instead. No pro overlay code referenced the pill or the prop.
Two things went wrong when the window was small and the AI chat docked:
1. Libraries / Output painted over the board selector. The editor zone
has min-width: max-content, but its child .editor-toolbar-wrapper is
an inline-size query container, and size containment makes it
contribute zero intrinsic width — so the floor resolved to nothing,
flexbox squeezed the zone under its buttons and the bar never got to
wrap. Containment is now off for the in-bar mount (the wrapper keeps
it for its standalone mobile mount); the two label collapses that
depended on it are re-keyed to the unified-toolbar container at the
same thresholds the canvas controls use (1010 / 905px), so the row
degrades in step and, when it truly cannot fit, wraps instead.
2. The explorer / Code / Both / Circuit segmented toggle now hides once
the shared bar is under 760px (its inline display moved to CSS so a
container query can do that). Every switch it had is a checkmarked
row in the View menu: File Explorer, and Code / Both / Circuit as a
radio group under a View mode label. explorerOpen moves from
EditorPage state into useEditorStore so the menu can read it.
The New Project dialog now lists an M5Stack section — M5 Cardputer ADV first,
then M5Stack Core — between ESP32 and STM32. Both kinds are overlay-registered,
so the section only renders when the overlay mounted (an OSS build shows no
empty block). Selecting a card loads the board's on-LCD hello example
(cardputer-adv-hello / m5stack-core-m5-helloworld), which also provides the
card thumbnail.
The sections builder is extracted as buildStarterSections(defs) and covered
by a unit test that pins the display order.
deleteFileGroup left editorStore.activeGroupId dangling at the removed
group: Monaco (and agent writes) kept editing a group compile never reads,
so a stale same-named sketch.ino shipped instead of the code on screen
(the 'leftover template Blink built for 35 minutes' failure). The pointer
now re-targets a surviving group, and compile re-points the editor when
the two pointers diverge (with a visible warning log).
compiledProgram is no longer serialised into boards_json: the firmware
blob was 99.99% of a typical ESP32 save (a bare board already ~1.04 MB),
pushing every real project against the request-size ceiling, and a
restored binary is stale the moment the code differs. Loaders still
accept it from old rows.
The Arduino section listed only Uno and Mega — Nano and Nano ESP32
existed as first-class boards (kinds, FQBNs, examples) but could only be
reached through the gallery or the board dropdown. Same for the
ESP32-CAM, which now sits in the ESP32 section next to its DevKit
sibling. The camera board's starter is the webcam demo rather than a
blink: the board exists to show the sensor, and a bare LED sketch would
be a misleading first run.
Entering the editor could stack two overlays: the starter-template
dialog opened on mount, then four seconds later the "What's new" modal
landed on top of it. Two dimmed backdrops over each other, and the
smaller, *less* important surface in front — the z-indexes said it
outright, news 10000 against the starter's 9000.
The delay made it worse rather than gentler. Arriving after the user has
started reading the templates is the most disruptive moment available;
appearing instantly would at least have let them clear it before
engaging.
The rule this restores: a modal is for what BLOCKS, and an announcement
never blocks. News now slides into the corner as a toast that dims
nothing, steals no focus (role="status", polite), and retires by itself.
The full post is one click behind "Read more" — a modal the user asked
for is a categorically different thing from one thrown at them — and
stays reachable from Help ▸ What's new once the toast is gone.
Worth noting the audience argument too: the starter dialog only fires on
a PRISTINE visit, i.e. for someone brand new, and "what's new" is
meaningless without a baseline to compare against. Returning users, the
ones it is actually written for, arrive with a project loaded and never
saw the collision.
Renamed NewsModal → NewsAnnouncer: it is not a modal by default any more,
and leaving the old name would have mislead the next reader.
Strings are new keys under `news.*`, filled in for all nine locales — the
previous modal had "What's new" and "Got it" hardcoded in English.
Toast sits at z-index 8000, deliberately BELOW the starter dialog, so if
the two ever coincide again the blocking task keeps the foreground.
The editor menubar's Account menu hosted only the shared `user-menu`
slot, so it had no way in or out of a session: the bottom-left dropdown
renders My projects / Sign in from its own markup, which this menubar
never sees. Signed-in users had no route to their saved work from the
editor, and anonymous ones had no way to sign in without leaving it.
Declares two account-scoped command ids and adds an `optional` item flag
that HIDES a row whose command is unregistered instead of the default
"render disabled". Absence here is not "temporarily unavailable" but
"does not apply": OSS has no accounts, and in pro exactly one of the two
is meaningful at a time — a greyed-out My projects would read as broken.
My projects sits third in File, at the head of the project group rather
than tacked onto the two "new …" rows: it opens saved work, which is
what Open/Save beneath it are for.
Labels reuse header.auth.{myProjects,signIn}, already translated in all
nine locales — no new strings.
useProjectStore.currentExampleId — stamped by loadExample, dropped the
moment a real project (or a blank workspace) takes over. The compile
request and the run event carry it as example_id, analytics only, so
'which examples get compiled and run most' becomes answerable.
Several boards share one FQBN (the Pimoroni RP2350 trio all compile as
rpipico2), so FQBN-keyed metrics can't tell them apart. The compile
request and the run event now carry board_kind — analytics only, rides
into the metric hook's extra.
suppressOnlineOnlyAds(): overlay seam so the hosted build can silence
'available in the online editor' ad cards for items it manages — an
embargoed item must vanish, not advertise the site the user is on.
Pure OSS builds never call it; ads behave exactly as before.
tailAfterStream sliced result.stdout at the live-buffer offset, but the
buffer interleaves stdout+stderr in arrival order while result.stdout is
stdout-only plus a joining newline — offsets never line up, so the flush
could start mid-line ('f/esptool_py && ...'). Instead, the poll loop now
emits one final onProgress(state:'done') with the completed buffer and
the existing delta logic flushes the tail perfectly aligned. tailAfterStream
is gone.
With the success-path reprint gone, the lines that land between the
final running-poll and job completion (esptool image creation, the
binary-size summary) silently vanished. tailAfterStream() appends
result.stdout past the streamed offset, noise-filtered, before the
structured analysis — skipped once the live buffer hits its 256 KB
tail-trim cap, where offsets stop lining up.
ESP-IDF builds sprayed the compilation console with configure chatter
(-- cmake status, git-metadata probes that 'fatal' on the synthesized
project tree, IDF component-manager NOTEs, Python env checks) and then
reprinted the entire stdout a second time when parseCompileResult ran
over the final result after the live stream had already shown it.
- isNoiseBuildLine(): pattern list for build-system chatter, applied to
the live stream deltas and to the final-result parsing.
- parseCompileResult(streamedLive): skips the stdout reprint on success;
on failure re-emits only error/warning lines so they still get the
red/yellow markers the plain live stream lacked.
Compiler errors, FAILED blocks, ninja [N/M] progress, esptool output and
binary-size summaries all still show. The full log stays available
server-side.
The chat reserves its width as padding-right on .app-container, but an
absolute inset-0 layer spans the padding box, so the picker's right
column and its scrollbar landed under the panel. The screen now gives
up the same width through the same CSS variable, with the same 0.12s
ease the padding uses, and falls back to zero in builds without the
overlay.
A modal over a pristine /editor dims an interface that is empty anyway
and offers a Cancel whose only destination is a dead workspace. The
picker now takes over the content area (StarterScreen): no veil, no
Cancel, the grid gets the room the 840px dialog never had, and the
examples gallery link is the secondary path out. The modal stays for
"New workspace" over existing work, where the replace-everything
warning and Cancel mean something — both shells share one card grid.
The details that make the takeover behave like a page: it sits at
z-index 90 (above the canvas' floating zoom pill, below the header's
stacking context so the menu dropdowns stay clickable; the fixed
account corner box is render-gated instead), the panes underneath are
inert while it is up, focus lands on the heading on mount and parks on
the workspace container on dismissal, and any path that fills the
workspace meanwhile — the File-menu modal, Open project…, a dropped
.vlx — dismisses it rather than letting its cards silently wipe the
loaded work. Full editor.newProject i18n for all nine locales (German
in Sie-form), heading outline h1→h2 / h3→h4, token focus ring, and
reduced-motion respected.
The account options that only lived in the bottom-left user button
(subscription, licenses, simulation history, replays, privacy) are now
reachable from the header too: a new Account menu hosts the pro items via
the SAME data-velxio-slot="user-menu" the corner dropdown uses — one
overlay renderer, two hosts, empty in OSS builds. Language moves from its
own top-level trigger into a section of that menu, so the menubar stays at
five triggers and frees header room for when the AI chat docks.
Cards drop to a 178px grid (dialog 840px) with tighter type so more
starters fit per row; the Blank card's plus glyph goes accent-blue at
64px. Arduino Mega (mega-blink) joins the Arduino section next to the
Uno. Recaptured xiao-rp2040-blink.webp now that the board art is
silk-screened "XIAO-RP2040" (was "XIAO-ESP32-C3").
The starter cards now carry the same circuit thumbnails the examples
gallery uses (ExampleThumbnail → /examples-thumbs/<id>.webp with the
CircuitPreview SVG fallback): boards with a Blink example reuse its thumb,
the rest get freshly captured starter-<kind>.webp shots in the same folder
(XIAO S3/C3, Netduino 2, Pi 4/5; plus the missing xiao-esp32c6-blink and
xiao-rp2040-blink example thumbs).
The ESP32 section is now one card per chip generation with the Seeed XIAO
variant preferred (DevKit V1 / XIAO S3 / XIAO C3 / XIAO C6), and XIAO
RP2040 joins the Raspberry Pi section — replacing the previous
every-variant list and the separate XIAO section.
Fixes: a pristine /editor visit clears the hardcoded Uno starter BEFORE
showing the dialog (empty canvas behind; cancel now leaves a blank
workspace), and clearing the last board re-points the editor at a
nonexistent group so Monaco no longer keeps showing the deleted board's
sketch (removeBoard only re-points when another board remains).
New NewProjectDialog: a bare /editor visit (and the New workspace button)
offers a blank workspace or a ready-to-run Blink starter per board family
instead of silently dropping the user into the hardcoded Uno + LED starter.
Boards with a gallery Blink example load it fully wired; the rest get a
fresh board with the on-board-LED sketch. Pro-gated boards carry the PRO
pill and go through the boardGateDecision seam. Shows once per page load;
en/es strings (the other locales fall back to English for now).
File names may now carry '/' paths; the explorer renders each board group
as a collapsible folder tree (folders first, files in group order, CSS-var
indentation because .fe-file-item pins padding with !important). New-folder
buttons on the board header and per-folder hover actions (new file here,
new subfolder, delete with confirm when files are inside; a folder holding
every file of the group cannot be deleted - groups keep >= 1 file).
Model: names are the source of truth; only EMPTY folders are tracked
(folderGroups per group) so they survive until a file lands in them, then
materialise into the name prefix. Round-trips through .vlx (optional
folderGroups field, laxly validated), the auth stash draft, and
loadProjectState. Examples gain boards[].files so a single board can ship
a full multi-file tree (first entry = main sketch).
Backend: the arduino-cli sketch writer now creates subdirectories for
'/'-pathed names and REJECTS names that resolve outside the sketch dir
('..' traversal) - previously it crashed on the former and wrote outside
the tmp dir on the latter.
Three-part fix for the library-contamination class of ESP32 compile
failures (a user's project kept pulling unrelated libraries because 79%
of projects compile with an empty manifest, forcing scan-all resolution
over ~1000 shared libraries):
1. Name-affinity ranking in _find_library_for_header: the provider whose
name matches the header stem wins (exact normalized match > esp32
arch declaration > contains-stem, alphabetical only as tie-break).
Previously first-alphabetical won, so any stray library shipping a
generic header (Servo.h has 6 providers) could hijack the build.
2. Manifest auto-migration: scan-all compiles now report the libraries
the build really used (manifest_incomplete +
manifest_suggested_libraries on the compile result); the editor folds
single-candidate suggestions into the board's declared manifest after
a green build, so the NEXT compile runs scoped. One green build = one
migrated project; empty-manifest scan-all behaviour is untouched.
3. Install-declares: the Wokwi import library modal records successful
installs in the active board's manifest, and .vlx export/import now
round-trips board.libraries.
Tests: test_espidf_library_ranking.py (9) + library-manifest.test.ts (19).
Every control in the unified strip is now 28px tall: tb-btn (was 30),
Libraries (was 26), the C++/MicroPython select (was ~22), the board
selector, Serial/Scope, canvas icon buttons, zoom and Add (all were 32).
The explorer toggle moves inside the Code/Both/Circuit segmented group
as its first segment, and every active-segment blue is the Libraries
blue (var(--color-action-primary)) instead of the hardcoded #0e639c.
The editor zone's overlap floor becomes min-width: max-content — the
hardcoded 280px sat below the real content width, letting the console
button paint over the board selector when the docked chat narrowed the
bar. Now the zone can never shrink under its buttons; flex-wrap moves
the canvas controls to a second line instead. Also closes the gap
between the logo and the File menu (header gap 16->6, menubar
margin-left 14->2).
Every menu we added lived on t() English fallbacks — the keys did not
exist in ANY locale file, so a Spanish or Chinese user got an English
menubar. 29 keys (editor.menu.* + the toolbar labels the File menu
reuses) now exist in en/es/pt-br/it/fr/zh-cn/de/ja/ru.
Two entries needed their own leaf keys: editor.toolbar.compile and .run
are nested OBJECTS (title/options/... sub-keys), so t() on them cannot
resolve to a string — the menu now uses editor.menu.compile / .run,
which also avoids double shortcuts ("Compile (Ctrl+B)" plus the menu's
own Ctrl+B column).
Verified mechanically: all 38 keys the menubar references resolve to
strings in all nine locales.
The menubar now matches the desktop app's native menu set: File, Edit,
View, Language, Help.
View collects what the user asked to reach from a menu: Compile (Ctrl+B),
Run, Stop, Reset up top; the panel toggles — File Explorer, Output
Console, Serial Monitor, Oscilloscope/Logic Analyzer — in the middle
(store-backed ones render a live check, like a real desktop menu); and
the canvas view actions (center, zoom) move here from Edit, which goes
back to being undo/redo only, as menus have always worked.
Language lists the nine locales with the current one checked, switching
through the same switchLocale path the header globe uses — so language is
reachable from the menubar regardless of the account state, on top of
living in the signed-in account menu.
Run/Stop/Compile/Reset and the console toggle register through the
editorCommands seam from EditorToolbar (their handlers close over its
state); the explorer toggle from EditorPage; serial and scope call their
stores directly, same as undo/redo.
The toolbar's overflow button held four leftovers (Share/Embed, Sync to
GitHub, Upload firmware, Record simulation). They move into the File
menu, which is where a session-frequency action belongs, and the strip
loses one more button. The PRO pill travels with them — same style the
overflow used (now .emb-pro) — and the two File items that were always
premium (BOM, schematic image) finally show it too: users should know an
item is premium BEFORE clicking, not via a surprise upgrade prompt.
The pro actions keep firing the same window events the overflow items
fired (share/github-sync/record prompts), so the overlay's listeners are
untouched and OSS builds keep their silent no-op. Dead overflow CSS
removed with the button.
The open-source build now ships exactly its product surface: /editor, the
examples gallery (/examples, /examples/:id) and the per-example editor
(/example/:id). Landing, about, pricing, docs, the 14 keyword-targeted
simulator landings and the v2/v2.5/v3 showcases move to the private
overlay, registered through the same registerProRoutes seam that already
carries login/admin/classroom.
Root behaves per build: an overlay that registers an index route claims
'/' (velxio.dev keeps its landing); otherwise '/' redirects to /editor.
The redirect waits for the overlay import to settle — same contract as
markProExamplesSettled — so a velxio.dev visitor is never bounced into
the editor because the landing was 300ms away from registering.
Prerender and sitemap follow the split: entry-server pulls the marketing
page map from '@pro/pages/marketing' behind a VITE_PRO_BUILD-gated dynamic
import (the proven main.tsx pattern, with an OSS stub for tsc), and
generate-sitemap lists only served routes in OSS builds (2 URLs) while
pro builds stay byte-identical — verified against a pre-migration
baseline: sitemap (37 URLs) and prerendered /, /about, /docs,
/arduino-simulator, /esp32-simulator, /v3 all identical modulo hashed
asset names. OSS prerender drops exactly the 32 marketing pages (348→316).
The OSS header slims down to match: Editor, Examples, GitHub, Discord —
the marketing links only render in pro builds, where their routes exist.
The editor Help menu links those pages absolutely (velxio.dev) in OSS,
exactly like the desktop app's Help menu.
Mismo contenido y orden que el Help del menu nativo de escritorio
(pro/desktop menu.rs): Documentation, Examples, Pricing | Velxio Home,
Blog, About Velxio | Discord Community, GitHub Repository. Los enlaces que
el header del editor dejo de mostrar como nav de marketing recuperan aqui
un sitio ordenado, y todo abre en pestana nueva para que el editor (y el
trabajo sin guardar) se quede donde esta — el mismo criterio que la app
nativa, que abre el navegador del sistema.
La queja: demasiados botones en una sola fila, y en pantallas pequenas se
solapan — medido, no impresion: a 1024px Code/Both/Circuit pisaban a
Compile/Run/Stop por 9-20px y Add pisaba el chat por 29px, con el idioma y
el usuario cortados fuera del viewport.
Tres piezas:
1. En el editor, el nav de marketing (Home/Docs/Pricing/...) sobra: ya
estas dentro, y cuesta exactamente el ancho que le falta a la toolbar.
AppHeader gana la variante editorMenu — mismo mecanismo que ya usa la
build de escritorio (VITE_DESKTOP) — que oculta el nav y pinta un menu
File/Edit junto al logo. El logo sigue llevando a inicio; idioma,
autoguardado, Share y usuario se quedan.
2. File/Edit al estilo escritorio: lo que se usa cada minuto sigue siendo
boton; lo que se usa unas veces por sesion va al menu. File: nuevo
workspace, nuevo fichero, abrir, guardar, importar, exportar, BOM,
imagen del esquema. Edit: undo/redo (con su estado real del historial),
centrar vista, zoom. Las acciones viven en cierres de cuatro
componentes distintos, asi que hay un registro id->handler
(lib/editorCommands, mismo patron de seam que registerProExamples o
registerBoardBuiltins): cada dueno registra al montar y el menu invoca
por id; un item sin dueno montado se pinta deshabilitado, que ademas es
la verdad. El registro sobrevive al remontaje StrictMode (el cleanup
viejo no borra al sucesor) y tiene test de eso.
3. La toolbar adelgaza: fuera Undo/Redo (Ctrl+Z/Y siguen), fuera los
botones inline de Import/Export y sus gemelos responsivos del More
(~70px recuperados); el More queda solo con los extras pro (firmware,
GitHub, share, grabacion). El CSS responsivo de los botones retirados
se va con ellos.
Suite en verde (2300) y build del overlay verificado desde este arbol.
Without this we cannot tell whether the in-browser path is actually
displacing guest boots — the whole point of the dual engine is a number
(% of runs that never touched the backend), so the event has to say.
Keeping Play enabled while the guest ran broke the convention every
other board follows (owner report). Run now disables as usual; RESET on
a booted guest re-uploads the edited files and re-runs the script
without the ~45 s reboot, matching Reset's restart-the-program meaning.
QEMU-Linux boards used three competing file surfaces (workspace group
with a meaningless sketch.ino/libraries.json, the VFS panel with its
Upload button, and the Pi workspace's own editor). Now they behave like
every other board:
- the editor file group defaults to script.py for ANY Pi-family kind
(kind-based check via isPiBoardKind, not the old raspberry-pi- string)
- the libraries.json manifest row is hidden for Pi boards
- EditorPage always renders Monaco; the RaspberryPiWorkspace swap is
gone
- the bottom serial panel renders the interactive xterm (PiTerminal,
now seeded with session history) for running Pi boards
- example vfsFiles load into the editor group (single source of truth);
the run path uploads the group into the guest home
- Run on a booted guest re-runs without the 45 s reboot (Ctrl-C +
re-upload + run); starting a Pi board pops the terminal open
- piSyncAndRunScript/piRerunScript exported from the store; auto-run
now applies to the whole family (guestHome/autoRun overridable)
Overlay QEMU-Linux boards are not Raspberry Pis: ProBoardDef.guestSetup
lets a board send one shell line at the boot prompt (hostname/PS1/clear)
to de-brand the generic image, sent before piBooted flips so uploads
cannot interleave; the workspace start button and power-on title carry
the board's own label for non raspberry-pi kinds; the compile console
line uses the board label instead of 'Raspberry Pi 3B'.
The QEMU branch of handleRun required compiledProgram, but Pi-family
boards never have one (handleCompile early-returns 'no compilation
needed' without producing firmware), so the toolbar Run always surfaced
'Compilation produced no firmware' instead of powering the board on.
Start them directly, same as the workspace Start button.
Las dos ramas habian divergido: master llevaba el modo lenguaje ESP-IDF puro
(#139) y v3.2 la ruta de compilacion IDF v5.5 para toda la familia ESP32 mas
los arreglos de venv/toolchain. Ambas tocaban espidf_compiler.py.
Los dos lados son ejes ORTOGONALES y se conservan enteros:
- use_idf5 / arduino_mode (v3.2): que arbol IDF usa el build (5.5 vs 4.4) y
si cabe Arduino-como-componente.
- pure_idf (master): el modo LENGUAJE que elige el usuario; sus ficheros son
las fuentes del componente main con su propio app_main().
Resolucion:
- _build_env acepta los tres. Un build IDF puro fuerza arduino_mode a falso:
la plantilla CMake mete el componente arduino-esp32 en cuanto existe
ARDUINO_ESP32_PATH, asi que dejarlo puesto compilaba el core de Arduino en
un build que no tiene sketch. Lo cazaron los tests de master.
- VELXIO_PURE_SKETCH solo con pure_idf, nunca con arduino_mode a falso a
secas: un target sin core arduino-esp32 sigue entregando un SKETCH al
traductor legacy y no debe tomar la rama del glob puro.
- La identidad del build-dir suma los dos tokens (|idf:N|ard:N y |lang:pure):
ningun par de esas combinaciones puede compartir un build/ configurado.
- La cadena de escritura de fuentes queda pure_idf -> arduino_mode -> legacy.
- sdkconfig: render de v3.2 (con target/use_idf5) mas el filtrado de simbolos
CONFIG_ARDUINO* de master cuando el build es puro.
test/backend/unit/test_espidf_compiler.py: los 7 tests que ya estaban rotos en
v3.2 (AttributeError: idf5_path, fixture sin actualizar desde que se anadio la
seleccion de IDF) vuelven a pasar.
Verificado: backend 293 pasan / 0 fallan (v3.2 traia 7 rotos); frontend 2268
pasan / 0 fallan en los dos shards.
Adds a third entry to the board language selector next to Arduino C++
and MicroPython: ESP-IDF. In this mode the user writes a plain ESP-IDF
project — app_main() entry point, FreeRTOS + driver APIs — and the
backend compiles it through the same ESP-IDF toolchain it already uses
for ESP32 Arduino sketches, just without the arduino-esp32 component.
Backend:
- CompileRequest.language ('espidf') threaded through the sync + async
compile paths and folded into the dedup job key (language='arduino'
and omitted hash identically so old clients keep dedupping).
- espidf_compiler: pure_idf flag. User files are written into main/
as-is (no Arduino.h wrap, no velxio_compat.h, Arduino library
resolution skipped), ARDUINO_ESP32_PATH is dropped from the build env
and VELXIO_PURE_SKETCH raised so the template CMake compiles the
user's own sources via a glob branch. Pure builds get their own
persistent build-dir variant through the eff_hash fold.
- QEMU WiFi compat for IDF-style code: esp_wifi.h/esp_wifi_init
detection sets has_wifi, and literal #define SSID/PASS plus
wifi_config_t designated initializers are normalized to the QEMU AP.
- CONFIG_ARDUINO_* lines are stripped from sdkconfig.defaults in pure
mode (the symbols don't exist without the arduino component).
Frontend:
- LanguageMode gains 'espidf'; BOARD_SUPPORTS_ESPIDF covers the ESP32
family (Xtensa, S3, C3). Toolbar shows the option only for those.
- Switching modes seeds a main.c blink skeleton (app_main + gpio
driver), mirroring the MicroPython main.py flow.
- compileCode sends language='espidf'; run/stop paths are unchanged
(the QEMU worker consumes the same merged flash image).
- New gallery example: esp32-idf-blink (LED + resistor on GPIO 2).
Tests: unit coverage for the build-env switch, IDF wifi normalization,
job-key variance, file-group seeding and the new example; verified
end-to-end in a container from the prod image (pure build produces a
bootable flash image; Arduino-mode build unchanged, same variant hash).
registerProBoards() lets a hosted overlay ship boards outside the OSS tree as
data-only definitions: registration patches the exported BoardKind maps
(labels / FQBN / MicroPython) so every existing read site keeps working, and
the sites a map can't cover consult the registry — canvas render (custom
element or overlay render fn), BOARD_SIZE, pin-name mapping, picker list +
descriptions + tag, ESP32 family routing, in-browser simulator construction
and firmware load (structural ProBoardSimulator contract, duck-typed PIO
attach/detach), built-in bridge sensors, and a CS-gated built-in microSD
(sdCsPin -> sd_card.cs_pin worker config). Esp32Bridge additionally gains the
esp32-c6 machine type + TX pin (public chip knowledge — the C6 compile path
already ships) and a generic sendKey() for built-in matrix keyboards.
registerProExamples() appends gallery examples at runtime; the board ONLINE
ads recompute at render so registration hides them. OSS behavior without an
overlay is unchanged — the registry is dead code, same as the other seams.
Two issues from a real ESP32 7-segment clock the agent built.
Run after the agent didn't work until a page reload
---------------------------------------------------
The agent's run_simulation leaves the ESP32 board RUNNING (live QEMU
WebSocket). Esp32Bridge.connect() is a no-op while the socket is non-CLOSED,
so the user's subsequent Run click called startBoard() → connect() → did
NOTHING. And if the backend QEMU session had since died while the frontend
socket lingered (CONNECTING/OPEN/CLOSING), the user saw a dead sim that only
a reload cleared — exactly the "di Run y no funcionó; recargué y sí" report.
The Arduino/C++ QEMU path now stops a running board first (closing the WS),
waits for it to settle, then boots fresh — the MicroPython path already did
this for the same reason.
Wires painted over the 7-segment digits
----------------------------------------
The agent bridges each segment strip to its resistor from a breadboard hole
that is physically UNDER the seated display; on the flat canvas those wires
(wire layer z 35) painted over the digits (component z 1) — "casi ni se ven
los dígitos". A large-bodied display seated on a breadboard now renders
ABOVE the wire layer, so its face occludes the wires crossing it exactly as
the real part's body would (the wire passes behind it to reach the hole).
Scoped to display bodies (7segment, matrix, oled, lcd, ili9341, led-ring…)
and only when actually seated; thin parts and free-floating displays are
untouched. The pin overlay + seated-pin markers share the display's stacking
group, so they rise with it and wiring still works.

Running a multiplexed 4-digit 7-segment clock on ESP32/QEMU froze the
browser for minutes after Run — evaluate probes waited 40-90 s, and before
the first fixes the sim WebSocket eventually died (code 1006) with the page
never recovering. CPU-profiled on staging; four compounding per-GPIO-edge
costs, in profile order:
updateComponentState minted a new components array per edge
------------------------------------------------------------
The store setter rebuilt `components` (and one properties object) on EVERY
edge even when the state didn't change. The breadboard is direct-wired to
13 board pins, so segment toggles produced thousands of store sets per
second; every subscriber re-rendered each time, and the canvas subscription
effect (deps: [components, ...]) re-subscribed all pin listeners in a loop.
Now a no-op guard returns prevState unchanged, and breadboards are treated
as self-managed (they have no visual on/off state to echo).
CompilationConsole re-rendered every log line per editor render
----------------------------------------------------------------
The post-compile console holds hundreds of lines; each render called
Date.toLocaleTimeString per line (~0.2 ms each — it builds a fresh Intl
formatter every call). Profile: 162 s of self time in LogLine over a 337 s
window, in ~150 ms tasks. LogLine is now memoized (entries are immutable),
timestamps go through one shared Intl.DateTimeFormat, and the console
itself is React.memo'd against parent re-renders.
Per-edge full SPICE re-solves
------------------------------
PinManager requested a FULL netlist rebuild+solve on every 'mcu' edge.
Now only the edge that newly classifies a pin as MCU-output triggers the
rebuild (that's what emits the pin's V-source); steady-state updates flow
through connectMcuEdgesToService's per-pin coalesced alterSource path.
The start.ts resolve hook is trailing-throttled (33 ms) for the other
per-edge callers (RP2040, custom chips), the service's pending-edge queue
drains on a 33 ms gap timer instead of replaying back-to-back, and new
edges arriving inside the gap queue instead of soloing a solve.
STM32 / Pi reverse pin-name mappings added to connectMcuEdgesToService so
those boards keep fine-grained updates now that the full-tick storm is
gone (PA0/PC13-style and GPIO-style names never matched before).
wokwi-7segment re-rendered per segment write
---------------------------------------------
element.values now flushes at most every 8 ms per display (trailing write
guaranteed), instead of re-rendering the 32-shape SVG per edge.
Also: CLN (colon) pin support for 7-segment clock faces — wired CLN now
drives colon/colonValue in both the attachEvents path and the QEMU
onPinStateChange path; it was silently ignored, so clock colons never lit.
Verified on staging with the failing project: main-thread probes drop from
40-90 s waits (324 long tasks, 52.6 s blocked in 150 s) to 5-11 ms
(2 long tasks, 179 ms), display shows 12:00 with the colon blinking at
1 Hz from the first seconds after Run.

verifyCircuitFromStore() builds the worst-case snapshot (every wired
digital pin driven HIGH) and solves it — extracted verbatim from
EditorToolbar's runVerification so programmatic runners (editor
extensions, agents) can gate their own run paths on the same rules.
No behavior change for the Run button.
Convert the remaining window.confirm() call sites to the in-app
MessageDialogHost, extended with a new confirm mode (Cancel + Confirm
buttons, optional danger styling) via showConfirmDialog().
Sites converted:
- New workspace (EditorPage)
- Load project / delete file (FileExplorer)
- Overwrite SPIFFS file (BoardOptionsModal)
- Delete VFS node (VirtualFileSystem)
All dialog strings are internationalized across the 9 supported locales
(en, es, pt-br, it, fr, zh-cn, de, ja, ru); the two previously
English-only modals now pull from i18n too.
useMessageDialogStore + <MessageDialogHost /> (mounted once in App.tsx)
give a themed in-app dialog callable from anywhere — React components
and plain .ts modules alike via showMessageDialog(msg, {kind}). Swaps
the native alert() calls in FileExplorer (import errors) and the
desktop menu (.vlx open errors, updater status) for it; the pro overlay
can reuse the same store.
The file-tabs strip in the toolbar center duplicated affordances that
already exist elsewhere: the file it showed is selected in the left file
explorer, and its board-owner label duplicated the board selector combo.
It also ate horizontal space and crowded the action row on narrow panes.
Remove the FileTabs component entirely; the left explorer is now the single
place to switch files. The toolbar center slot stays as an empty flex
spacer so the right action group remains pinned to the far right.
In a multi-board project the wired boards are one system, so running just
the active board almost never matches intent (a cross-wired UART pair only
comes alive when both run). The primary Run button now runs ALL boards when
there is more than one, with a split caret-menu to still run only the active
board. Single-board and board-less behaviour is unchanged, and the separate
Run-All double-triangle button is kept only for board+chip / chips-only
projects where the primary Run is not already a run-all.
