Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 a51b09884d klippy is exec'd directly; start-stop-daemon matched moonraker
klipper/run launched klippy with

    exec start-stop-daemon -S --exec "$FF_PYTHON" -- "$KLIPPY" ...

-S starts the program unless a matching process is found, and --exec matches
on the interpreter rather than on the script. moonraker runs $FF_PYTHON too,
so start-stop-daemon found moonraker, reported the service already up, and
returned without ever exec'ing klippy; s6 saw a longrun exit and respawned it
for as long as the printer was on. One boot log carried 508 copies of
"/usr/data/anvil/bin/python3.13 is already running", with moonraker up,
klipper disconnected, ff-startup giving up with KLIPPER DID NOT FINISH
STARTING, and HelixScreen in front of a machine with no motion and no heaters.

Not intermittent: klipper waits on the mcu-bringup oneshot and moonraker
depends on nothing, so moonraker is always already running by then.

There was nothing for start-stop-daemon to do. s6-supervise is the parent --
it knows the pid, runs one copy of a servicedir at a time, and restarts what
dies -- so a duplicate check in a run script has no true positive left to find
and can only return false ones. The one case s6 does not cover, a klippy that
outlived its supervisor, was already swept by cmdline against klippy.py.

The guard is static rather than a replica test because the replica cannot
reproduce this. Printer binaries run there under qemu-mipsel-static, so a
moonraker process has cmdline[0] and /proc/PID/exe of qemu-mipsel-static, not
$FF_PYTHON; start-stop-daemon matches nothing and starts klippy correctly.
Measured: a replica baked from a package carrying the broken line passes a
behaviour test asserting klippy starts with moonraker up. A behaviour test
there would report this failure as green.

The rest of the diff is comment reduction, 119 lines to 66.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 5ccfc85558 Make the import gate assert the module it exists for, and prove it bites
test_every_named_extra_imports skips a section whose module is absent --
deliberately, because that is what klippy's load_object does. But it means the
test could go green on a machine where the klippy tree had lost
stepper_resonance_tester, having never asked the question it was written for.
So it now names that module and asserts it actually imported.

Checked in both directions before being trusted. On the baked replica, with the
real shipped tree under qemu: the module imports with numpy present, and with
site-packages/numpy moved aside it raises ModuleNotFoundError at line 1 -- an
ImportError, which is the one load_object does not catch. That is the original
diagnosis reproduced on a machine rather than argued from source.

All three lanes green: qa-static 148, qa-replica 135, mkdocs --strict.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 28eb20f3da Package numpy, because klippy does not start without it
extras/stepper_resonance_tester.py opens with a bare `import numpy as np`;
klippy.py:122 walks EVERY config section through a load_object whose
importlib.import_module is not wrapped in except ImportError; printer.base.cfg
includes FlashForge's printer.vibration.cfg, which declares
[stepper_resonance_tester]. Since klippy moved to our own CPython 3.13 that has
not been a printer missing resonance testing. It has been a klippy that never
reaches ready.

So this is not a scientific extra. anvil-klipper depends on anvil-python-numpy
the way it depends on cffi, except that the others mean "klippy imports this"
and this one means "klippy starts". It also gives back SHAPER_CALIBRATE and
TEST_RESONANCES, dead since the same switch, and the VFA calibration behind
STEPPER_RESONANCE_FACTORY_CALIBRATE that docs/notes/44-vfa-calibration.md
traces end to end.

WHAT WAS NOT OBVIOUS, in the order it bit.

numpy 2.x builds with meson-python, and meson has never heard of
_PYTHON_SYSCONFIGDATA_NAME -- the trick every other python-* recipe here leans
on. pkg_mesoncross writes a real cross file instead, naming the $PKG_XW
wrappers rather than the raw toolchain: the wrappers carry -EL -mnan=2008, and
a cross file that reaches past them builds a tree that passes every gate which
only reads symbols and is refused at exec() on the printer. pkg_pywheel grew a
PKG_PY_PIP_ARGS branch to pass the file as --config-settings, which is the one
thing PEP 517 does standardise.

The cross file's `python =` is the BUILD python, and that is not a mistake:
meson introspects an interpreter by running it and asking sysconfig, and
pkg_pytarget has already made that sysconfig answer for mipsel. The old trick
does reach meson, just not by its own mechanism.

numpy's meson.build hard-errors below gcc 8.4 and ours is 7.2. The gate is the
SciPy Toolchain Roadmap's support statement, not a requirement of the code:
this toolchain compiles if constexpr, structured bindings, std::optional,
std::string_view, and pocketfft_hdronly.h -- 3635 lines of the heaviest
template C++ in the tree, and the half np.fft.rfft needs. Probed before the
floor was lowered, and lowered rather than removed, behind a guard that fails
loudly if upstream moves the check. 19 extension modules, every one at e_flags
0x70001405/0x70001407, 14MB shipped after pruning tests/, f2py/, stubs and
static libs.

meson-python is self-hosting, so pkg_buildpython runs meson and ninja just to
install the backend -- hence ninja-build in the image and PYPKG_HOST_LIST in
dependency order rather than alphabetical. And pip puts meson and cython in
work/.py-host/bin, which nothing had ever looked in: without that on PATH the
backend fails to install with `meson executable "meson" not found` while pip
list shows it right there.

THE GATE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ALL OF IT is qa/replica/test_klippy_extras_import.py:
walk the real /usr/data/config include graph, map every section to its extra,
import each on the printer's own interpreter. It needs no MCU, because config
load happens before klippy:mcu_identify. Nothing asked that question before,
which is how two comments in this repo came to assert the module guarded its
own import. test_numpy.py asks for numeric answers rather than a module object
-- linalg.lstsq specifically, because -Dallow-noblas selects the bundled
lapack_lite and _r2_sinusoidal_fit calls it every calibration round. And
test_install.py's include check read only ff-*.cfg, so FlashForge's four --
printer.vibration.cfg among them -- were never asked about at all.

ff-toolchange.cfg wraps the two search commands in _FF_SHAPER_PREP, as
SHAPER_CALIBRATE already was. STEPPER_RESONANCE_FACTORY_CALIBRATE is
deliberately NOT wrapped: it is a gcode_macro, not a registered command, and
same-named sections merge under RawConfigParser(strict=False) -- a wrapper
would not wrap it, it would BE it, with rename_existing pointing at itself. It
needs none, since its body is two calls to a command that is wrapped. No
SAVE_CONFIG in any macro either; it restarts klippy and stays the operator's.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 9ef21c1fb8 wpa_supplicant is a supervised longrun, not a oneshot that forks
The wifi oneshot backgrounded a subshell and returned at once, so that the
15s wait for wlan0 and the 20s wait to associate did not stall the boot
transition firmwareExe blocks on. Its comment was explicit that nothing
could depend on it, which was true and was not the problem.

The problem is the subshell it left behind: a child of s6rc-oneshot-runner
with its stdout on a pipe s6-rc closes the moment the up script returns, so
a sleep in the wlan0 wait followed by an echo is a write to a closed pipe.

OBSERVED on a printer: a healthy supervision tree, s6-rc reporting wifi up,
no wlan0 configured, no lease, and not one line anywhere saying why --
HelixScreen calling it "wifi system is not ready" because there was no
supplicant holding a control socket. Getting in at all needed a repacked
.tgz that brought wifi up ahead of s6. The subshell was never caught in the
act and could not be: once its pipe is gone it cannot report its own death.
Which is the argument, whatever the exact signal was. A oneshot that forks
and returns cannot be relied on and cannot be debugged when it isn't.

So: type longrun, no -B, exec wpa_supplicant in the foreground. Blocking IS
the job now, s6-supervise holds the process, and a supplicant that dies is
restarted rather than mourned. up/down are gone -- a longrun's down is
silently dropped anyway.

wifi-dhcp is new and is not optional. wpa_supplicant only associates; it
never asks for an address, and running udhcpc was the oneshot's last act.
bin/wifi-action.sh has shipped since the s6 migration for exactly this hook
and was invoked by nothing at all -- `wpa_cli -a` is what invokes it. That
also fixes what the oneshot never covered: it ran udhcpc ONCE after boot, so
an owner joining a network from the HelixScreen panel an hour later was
associated with no address, which the panel reports as a connection timeout.

Its run script re-runs the action script when wpa_state is already COMPLETED.
wpa_cli fires on CHANGES, and it is not established that it emits CONNECTED
on attach to an already-connected supplicant, so without this the lease that
finish drops would not come back on a restart. The action script replaces any
previous client first, so it is idempotent with a real event.

udhcpc keeps -b inside the action script. Different flag, different program:
wpa_cli blocks until the script returns, so a foreground udhcpc would wedge
event processing.

ntp/run reasoned about "the wifi oneshot" and about nothing being allowed to
depend on it; it still takes no wifi dependency, now because wifi being up
means a supplicant is running rather than that anything is routable. The
service tables in how-it-works.md and building.md, and test_s6rc.py -- where
wifi sat in HW_SET as "the oneshot above" and test_execline_shipped_too used
it as its example -- follow. Both wifi and wifi-dhcp stay out of BOOT_SET:
they want a real wlan0, which the replica has not got.

qa-static passes. The database is NOT compiled here -- s6-rc-compile is a
MIPS binary that runs in the replica -- so make qa-replica is still owed.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 3dc50ad187 moonraker-timelapse ships as a package
The Moonraker component and the Klipper macros behind Mainsail's Timelapse
tab, pinned by commit because upstream has never cut a tag.

Upstream's scripts/install.sh is not used: it clones into a home directory,
symlinks into a Moonraker checkout, appends to live config and registers an
update_manager entry that re-clones itself over the network. All of those are
things this repo does differently, so the tarball is a source like any other
and the two files it contributes are placed by hand. timelapse.py lands
inside anvil-moonraker's directory because Moonraker resolves a component
with import_module(".components.<name>", "moonraker") and looks nowhere else.

No BUILD_TIMELAPSE flag, unlike every other optional piece here.
moonraker.conf carries a [timelapse] section and printer.base.cfg an
[include timelapse.cfg]; Moonraker dies on a section with no component behind
it and Klipper on an include it cannot find, so the off position of that flag
would not be a printer without timelapses -- it would be a printer that does
not come up.

The dependency arrow runs one way on purpose. anvil-timelapse does NOT depend
on anvil-moonraker, though it plainly needs it: anvil-moonraker already
depends on this package for the config section above, and declaring both
would be a cycle. Only the direction that is a hard failure is written down.

frame_path is /usr/data/anvil-timelapse rather than the default
/tmp/timelapse/: /tmp here is tmpfs, so a tall print's frames would be
hundreds of megabytes of RAM on the machine running that print.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 d898d105e0 The Moonraker pin was frozen by a missing _sqlite3 we now build ourselves
MOONRAKER_VERSION was 9d0d09d, the last commit before 80c7620 moved the
database from lmdb to sqlite, because FlashForge's python 3.8.2 has no
_sqlite3 and every release after it died loading the database component.
This repo builds and ships its own CPython 3.13 now, and it has one. The pin
is v0.11.0 -- a release tag, not a sha, so PKG_VERSION is just 0.11.0 and no
longer the Debian-style 0.8.0+git<sha> snapshot string. GitHub strips the
leading "v" from the directory inside /archive/<tag>.tar.gz, which is what
${MOONRAKER_VERSION#v} in the recipe is for.

The dependency set is the part that actually moved. Read against 0.11.0's
CORE_COMPONENTS plus the sections moonraker.conf enables:

  dbus-next became dbus-fast. dbus_manager is a core component and imports
  it at module scope, so this is not optional whatever [machine] provider
  says. Its sdist cythonises nine modules; SKIP_CYTHON=1 ships the python
  they were generated from and keeps the package ARCH all. The wheel still
  comes out platform-tagged -- poetry-core marks the distribution impure
  for declaring a build script at all -- but it holds 29 .py and no .so,
  and the content is what ships.

  importlib-metadata is new, imported at module scope by
  utils/source_info.py, and brings zipp. Both build through setuptools_scm,
  so PYPKG_HOST_LIST grew packaging and setuptools-scm. That list is now
  install order: pkg_buildpython pip-installs each with --no-deps against
  no index, flit-core builds packaging, setuptools_scm imports it.

  pyserial-asyncio is gone. Nothing in 0.11.0 imports serial_asyncio;
  utils/async_serial.py drives pyserial over asyncio itself. pyserial stays
  -- klippy needs it and declares it.

LMDB STAYS, for a reason that is not the old one. 0.11.0 converts an
existing data.mdb to sqlite on first start and imports lmdb to read it. With
the module missing it tries to pip install one, and a printer has no index
to install from -- the old database would be dropped in silence. It is the
upgrade path now, not the database, and the comment on WANTED_MODULES says
so.

inotify-simple STAYS AT 1.3.5 though 0.11.0 pins ==2.0.1: 2.0.1 declares its
licence the PEP 639 way and needs setuptools>=77 to build, against the 75.6.0
pinned here for lmdb's sake. It fails at metadata generation, not at import,
which is the kind of thing that reads as a broken recipe later. 1.3.5 carries
every name 0.11.0 asks of it, and moonraker.conf sets file_system_observer:
none, so the import is all that is asked. jinja2 goes to 3.1.6 to match.

Not taken: paho-mqtt, zeroconf, apprise, ldap3 and python-periphery, whose
components this printer does not enable, and msgspec and uvloop, which
Moonraker imports under contextlib.suppress(ImportError).

Verified: every changed sha256 downloads and matches at the URL
fetch-assets.sh builds; all five affected wheels build offline
(--no-index --no-build-isolation) on a real 3.13 with the host backends
installed in the declared order; qa/static 122 passed, including the gates
that cross-check PYPKG_LIST against the recipes and every PKG_DEPENDS
against the feed. The mipsel cross-build and `make qa-replica` have not run
yet, and versions.env still says a bump is gated on the latter.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 b47ffd600d The boot fixture waited for a set the replica cannot reach
`booted` polled for ok-all, and the comment beneath the poll explained at
length why ok-all is unreachable on a replica -- no /dev/ttyS4,5,7 for
mcu-bringup, no /dev/video* for camera. So the loop could only expire, and
all eight tests behind the fixture had been erroring at 120s each.

What the replica CAN prove is the machinery: the scanner answers, s6-rc-init
lays the live servicedirs down, a transition runs, s6 puts a killed daemon
back. The fixture now waits for the longruns that need nothing but the
rootfs -- nginx, moonraker, ntp -- and asks s6-svstat rather than s6-rc,
because ff-startup holds the s6-rc lock for its whole 300000ms timeout
waiting on a klipper with no MCU, so `s6-rc -a list` answers "unable to
take locks" rather than with a list.

camera, klipper, mcu-bringup, ff-startup, ui and wifi are asked of the
compiled database instead, which is still where a missing or misnamed
service shows. ui is in that set because it depends on ff-startup, and
wifi because it is a oneshot with no supervised servicedir to stat.

Two tests change with it. test_the_ui_runs_under_s6_supervise is gone:
80-s6-migration.md calls it the blocking unknown, but ui sits behind
mcu-bringup and no replica can answer it -- that needs the simulated-MCU
lane. And test_the_scanner_logged_nothing demanded an empty s6.log, which
it only ever got because the fixture timed out first; moonraker's run
script sends its early stderr there ON PURPOSE, so the emptiness was never
the property. It asks for the scanner's own failure now, which is the
EOVERFLOW readdir it was written for.

qa: 261 passed, both lanes, 84s.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 b96390b579 Eleven gates read our own scripts as text; none of them read a package
Each one grepped a file in this repo and asserted a spelling. That is
green when the behaviour is broken and red when nothing is, and both
halves happened here:

  test_the_archives_are_built_by_upstream wanted the literal
  "opkg-make-index" in bin/build-packages.sh. The script calls
  $OPKG_INDEX_BIN, which bin/common.sh points at exactly that tool, so
  the gate went red for a variable it approves of.

  test_the_klipper_service_runs_the_payload_tree_on_our_python asserted
  "/usr/prog/klipper/klippy" was absent from the klipper run script. The
  command line is $MODDIR/klipper/klippy/klippy.py and has been for some
  time; the match was on the header paragraph explaining that the tree
  USED to be read from /usr/prog. The gate read its own warning as the
  thing it warns about.

test_klippy_imports_resolve_on_our_python goes for a different reason: it
sourced anvil-env.sh without MODDIR, against that file's stated contract,
so FF_PYTHON came out /bin/python3.13 and four imports failed on a missing
interpreter. What it meant to ask is answered by klipper starting at all.

The rest are the same technique: payload.sh, lib.sh, build-packages.sh and
bin/*.sh grepped for a spelling, one gate grepped ANOTHER TEST FILE for the
words nan2008/o32/mips32r2, and two linted every recipe for forbidden
constructs. What survives asks the built artifact or the replica.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 2e9f2214a0 Merge master into the comment trim
Master moved twelve commits while this branch ran: patch.sh became
payload.sh, run-pre.sh and run-append.sh became runFirmwareExe.sh, the
install manifest and anvil.conf are gone, and versions.env was trimmed
harder there than here (53 comment lines against 185).

Resolved so the merge contributes comments and nothing else. Verified
mechanically: every one of the 270 files in the tree now carries
exactly master's code, and no file this branch touched is resurrected.

  - master's deletions accepted: bin/patch.sh, bin/verify.sh,
    installer/run-{pre,append}.sh, anvil.conf.in
  - versions.env: master's, which is the better trim
  - 26 files master only renamed through: this branch's trim kept, with
    patch.sh -> payload.sh applied
  - 14 files master rewrote to describe the new installer: master's
    text taken wholesale, to be re-trimmed separately
  - stale references to the manifest and run-append.sh corrected in
    pkgs/3rdparty/busybox/build.sh and pkgs/moonraker/build.sh

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 bf7d0f7e06 The printer has no clock and nothing was setting it
There is no RTC and no battery, so every boot starts at whatever the
kernel was built with and stays there: job timestamps, log ordering and
certificate validity are all wrong on a machine that has been unplugged.
Nothing on the stock rootfs could fix it -- FlashForge's busybox is
v1.31.1 built without the ntpd applet, and its rdate speaks RFC 868.

anvil-sntpd is troglobit's sntpd, a fork of Doolittle's ntpclient: one
small binary, servers and interval on the command line, so there is no
config file, no privsep user and no chroot to place on a read-only
rootfs. It ships $MODDIR/sbin/sntpd and nothing else.

A LONGRUN, NOT A HOOK ON THE WIFI ONESHOT. That oneshot runs once, at
boot, and returns before wlan0 has associated -- so a sync hung off its
end would fire too early, never retry, and never fire at all for the
owner who joins a network from the HelixScreen panel an hour later. And
with no RTC a clock is not set once but maintained. sntpd keeps its
schedule with the network down instead of exiting, which is what lets
this service need no wifi dependency -- just as well, since nothing may
depend on that oneshot.

The poll interval is 300 rather than upstream's 600 because it is also
the ceiling on the down-network retry backoff, and so bounds how long a
printer that joined wifi late keeps the wrong time.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 c3a64e0394 The stock firmware is a pinned download like everything else
config.env.example opened with DESKTOP="$HOME/Desktop", and four settings
hung off it. Nothing in bin/, pkgs/, qa/ or installer/ ever read it: three
of the four were commented-out overrides for files `make vendor` already
fetches, and the fourth, BUSYBOX_BIN, names a binary with no source at all.
What DESKTOP really did was carry the stock FlashForge .tgz -- the one input
a person had to go and find before they could build anything.

It did not have to be. .github/workflows/ci.yml has been fetching that exact
file for as long as printer-sim has run, from ghzserg/FF, pinned by sha256,
with its own get(), its own cache and its own secrets -- a second spelling of
"download the firmware and check the hash" that no human path shared. The
pins here are those pins, verified byte-for-byte against a fresh download of
both assets.

So versions.env pins the stock package the way it pins everything else,
bin/fetch-assets.sh downloads it into vendor/, and bin/common.sh defaults
STOCK_TGZ_* there. A cold checkout is now `cp config.env.example config.env
&& make build`, with nothing to edit.

--stock is a separate flag from --all, not folded into it. The packaging lane
wants no FlashForge package -- that is most of the point of it being runnable
in CI on a bare checkout -- so `--all` stays "every payload piece, no
firmware", `make build` asks for the one model it is building, and `make
vendor` (--all --stock) takes both.

The one download that will not overwrite an override. HELIX_TGZ and friends
name a public release anyone can re-fetch in a minute; STOCK_TGZ_* names 93MB
of proprietary firmware someone downloaded by hand, and clobbering it on a
hash mismatch would destroy the only copy on the machine. It is skipped
instead, and unchecked -- their file, their problem.

CI loses its duplicate fetcher, its stock/ cache and the STOCK_URL_* secrets.
A fork testing its own firmware re-pins versions.env, which works locally too;
the secrets only ever worked in CI.

qa/lib/config.py reads versions.env for the pinned filenames so stock_for()
looks where the download actually lands. An explicit STOCK_TGZ_* still wins.

An existing config.env keeps working untouched: its paths are now overrides,
so the build skips the download and uses the file it always used.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 5d7754285e Wipe $MODDIR and extract, instead of pruning by a manifest
The installer deletes /usr/data/anvil outright and extracts into the
empty directory. The installed set is the shipped set by construction,
so a renamed file cannot survive beside its replacement and no list has
to be shipped, read or trusted for that to hold.

What that costs is everything else under $MODDIR, and the audit of what
was actually there is docs/notes/86-wipe-and-extract.md. backup/stock
had no restore path in any script and omitted the one file a restore
would need. .prev-root-hash was already dead state. config-installed
was a twelve-file snapshot serving one md5, for a compare whose stated
rationale -- "there is no include-and-override seam" -- stopped being
true when moonraker-custom.conf became the last include, and which
inverted its own purpose by keeping the webcam block and the API
lockdown off any printer that tripped it. So moonraker.conf is
overwritten like every ff-*.cfg.

HelixScreen's /tmp stash is untouched and is now the only preservation
the installer does, so the gate asserts it with a value that could only
have come from the printer.

Gone with it: both delete passes, the forged-path guard, the rmdir
pass, the pre-manifest branch, the unconditional init.d/anvil-service/
anvil.conf removal, the etc/s6 scandir sweep and the $MODDIR __pycache__
sweep -- the last two existed only because a manifest cannot see paths
made at runtime. firmwareExe already makes the scandir itself.

test_upgrade.py rewritten: the negative control is inverted rather than
deleted, and the legacy fixture goes -- there is one path now.

qa/static green (112). The replica lane needs a package in work/out,
which needs config.env with FF_KEY and STOCK_TGZ; not run here.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 7ffb39a730 The last ten files still named run-pre.sh and run-append.sh
Both were deleted three commits ago and the sweep that followed missed these:
the recipes, the s6-rc service scripts, printer.base.cfg's header and three qa
modules all still pointed at them by name. Renamed to runFirmwareExe.sh, which
is the file that actually does each thing described.

Two needed more than a rename.

anvil-link-prog.sh's ORDERING note explained itself in terms of stock run.sh's
line numbers -- "distributes the software component at its lines 107-179,
before the payload is extracted at line 180" -- and none of that is the shape
of an install any more. What the note is really for is why the links cannot
ship as files, which is unchanged, and it now says that instead. The paragraph
about the component no longer carrying firmwareExe is replaced by the reason
that matters: no component ships at all, so the version directory under
/usr/prog/PROGRAM/software stays FlashForge's and app_startup.sh's watchdog
has their binary to fall back on.

test_moddir_paths.py's ALLOWED set excused two paths that no longer exist.
anvil.conf went when the settings it held moved into the services, and
.prev-root-hash is not written any more -- this installer only deletes the
stale ones. Both were dead weight in a list whose whole job is to say "not
shipped, and correctly so": an entry for a file nobody guards on excuses
nothing and hides the next real one.

Gates: 112 static tests, shellcheck clean over the edited payload scripts.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 b98552386b No FlashForge component ships; patch.sh is payload.sh
The software component existed to give the mod one exec hook. It is not needed
for that any more, so a release now carries our installer and our payload and
nothing else: 26MB smaller, 21MB of which was FlashForge's own firmwareExe
travelling back to the partition it was already on, along with their klippy
tree, their wifi module and their configs.

WHAT IT GIVES BACK. /usr/prog/PROGRAM/software is no longer rewritten, so the
version directory there stays FlashForge's with their genuine firmwareExe
inside it -- and app_startup.sh's five-second watchdog, which copies one out of
that directory when nothing by that name is running, has something to copy
again. A printer whose payload fails to install now comes up on the stock UI
instead of a blank screen. That recovery has been broken since we started
deleting their binary out of a component we shipped; docs/how-it-works.md
claimed it worked throughout.

THE ROOT PASSWORD moves with it, because it used to ride in the component's
shadow file. bin/pack.sh bakes ROOT_PW_HASH into the installer, single-quoted
-- an unquoted $6$... would have the printer's shell expand $6 as a positional
parameter and ship a truncated hash -- and the installer writes it to
/usr/prog/etc/shadow. The random-password path asks one question instead of
four: FlashForge ship the same root hash on every machine, so a live shadow
still carrying it means nobody has set a password and it is ours to set. The
.prev-root-hash recording, the shipped-vs-live comparison and the restore-it-
afterwards step were all machinery for surviving a file that nothing overwrites
any more, and are gone. pack.sh checks the hardcoded constant against the stock
package it built from, because getting it wrong is silent and total: every
printer would read as "already set" and none would ever get a password.

bin/patch.sh is bin/payload.sh. It patched nothing any more -- no splice, no
shadow edit, no firmwareExe deletion -- and what is left is the payload: the
feed installed by the printer's own opkg, the seeded config, the manifest. Its
sections are renumbered 1-5 with no gaps, and the five tombstone comments
marking where removed sections used to be are gone with them.

test_recipe_layout.py loses six of its nine tests. Each compared the tree
against a description of the tree -- no fourth directory kind, each kind still
used, 3rdparty carries no files of ours, installer/ holds exactly two named
files -- and none could go red for a reason a printer would notice, while all
six went red the moment the layout legitimately changed. The two that bite are
kept: a payload/ path escaping $MODDIR, and a recipe name at both levels, which
makes pkg_dir silently build the wrong package.

SW_VER is deleted from config.env.example and both workflows: it stamped a
component that is not built.

Gates: 112 static tests pass. The generated installer is verified after
substitution -- all four lines present, and `sh -n` over the result, because a
hash with a stray character in it would otherwise reach a printer as a syntax
error whose only symptom is a package that installs nothing.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 2a6331a831 We own runFirmwareExe.sh; the install is no longer spliced into run.sh
app_startup.sh runs whatever it finds under that name in the package it just
decrypted. That is the entire contract -- plus the exit code, where 0 means
"flashed, power-cycle me" and non-zero means "carry on booting" -- so owning
the name is all it takes to own the install. We were not using it. We shipped
FlashForge's copy verbatim and reached the printer through the one exec hook
their file offers: the software component's run.sh, into which bin/patch.sh
spliced two marked blocks with 40 lines of regex.

installer/runFirmwareExe.sh is that file now. run-pre.sh and run-append.sh are
folded into it unchanged in substance -- the manifest delete, the HelixScreen
settings rescue, the s6 scandir sweep, the config merge, the password dance are
all the same code -- and the two orderings that mattered are kept explicitly
rather than by where a regex put them: the backups run BEFORE any component is
installed, because the software component ships /usr/prog's shadow and passwd
and its run.sh copies them over the live ones.

The four component installers become one function. Their semantics are kept
exactly, including that a component failing md5sum.list is discarded rather
than half-installed, and that every previous version directory is wiped before
the new one lands. What is NOT kept is the third of that file which never ran:
create_key(), defined and never called, and built its paths without a slash so
it would have written /usr/progprivate.pem; SSID_NAME/SSID_PASS, assigned and
never read; the commented-out kernel version gate; the screwflag factory bypass
of the model check, which we ship no screwflag for.

bin/pack.sh stages it, rewriting MACHINE=, PID= and MOD_PW_AUTO= and then
GREPPING for all three -- a package whose gate still said Creator5Pro because a
sed missed would install on the wrong machine. MOD_PW_AUTO is 0 in the
checkout, which is the safe default and not an arbitrary one: test_upgrade.py
runs the unsubstituted file, and 1 would have it reroll the replica's root
password and drop a password file on /mnt every run.

The software component still ships, unchanged, and its run.sh is left exactly
as FlashForge wrote it. Dropping it is the next commit; this one moves the
vehicle without changing what reaches /usr/prog.

Gates: qa/static/test_shell_syntax.py already covered installer/*.sh under both
bash -n and the printer's ash plus shellcheck, so the new file was checked the
day it landed -- 91 pass. test_upgrade.py runs the real installer over two
synthetic payloads and is repointed at it.

Two doc claims corrected while their sections were open, both false before this
change rather than because of it: how-it-works.md said app_startup.sh's
firmwareExe recovery "still works" -- it cannot, because it copies out of the
version directory and ours has had firmwareExe deleted from it -- and it
described a Moonraker preflight-and-rollback that went with the /usr/prog copy;
moonraker-preflight.py exists nowhere in the tree.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 56b5b6c334 The printer image is the only replica; make rootfs was a second way nothing took
`make rootfs` unsquashed rootfs.squashfs out of the stock package into
work/rootfs, and a thin container bind-mounted it with PROG_DUMP supplying
/usr/prog from the factory image. Every caller set PRINTER_IMAGE anyway --
both workflows wrote it into test.env BEFORE running `make rootfs`, so CI
unpacked a 93MB package, unsquashed a rootfs and downloaded a 182MB factory
image on every push and read none of it. build-printer-image.sh never used
work/rootfs either: Dockerfile.full does its own extraction from the same
public firmware and needs no stock package at all.

So the fallback went, and PROG_DUMP with it -- it was only ever read when the
replica was built locally, and both implementations already passed it empty
otherwise. Gone: the target, extract-rootfs.py, gates.extract_rootfs and its
two tar helpers, the thin printer/Dockerfile, the `prebuilt` flag threaded
through both Replica implementations, and Replica.start's want_output, whose
only message was that the local build was about to be slow.

PRINTER_IMAGE is pinned to 1.9.7-1.2.9-20260810 rather than :latest. It is
now the entire substrate the brick-safety gates run on and the only input
nothing checksums, so a floating tag would let it change under a green suite
-- the drift the sha256 pins in both workflows exist to prevent.

THREE THINGS THAT COULD NOT HAVE PASSED, found while doing it:

  * Neither workflow built the feed. bin/patch.sh has refused to start
    without one since a1b4ea6, 45 commits after ci.yml was last touched.
    Both ran unpack/patch/pack straight into that guard.

  * `make release` ran bin/build.sh on $(RUN), which has no docker socket,
    while patch.sh assembles the payload inside the replica. `build` has
    used RUNBUILD all along; `release` was left behind. It also built no
    feed. It now builds one, once, outside the per-model loop -- nothing in
    it is model-specific.

  * ci.yml's shellcheck gate named pkgs/*/payload/init.d/S* and
    pkgs/*/prog/*.sh, neither of which exists any more; shellcheck exits 2
    on a path it cannot open. It is a `find` with an asserted count now,
    because the opposite failure is worse: a glob that quietly matches
    nothing checks nothing and still reports green.

Both workflows now go through `make` instead of hand-rolling `docker run`.
Hand-rolling meant CI exercised entry points no human uses, which is exactly
why the `release` runner bug could sit there unseen; it also ran as root and
left a work/ that the later `make release` could not write to.

ci.yml's test job builds the feed before the static lane. A good part of that
lane asks what is inside an .ipk and those questions do not fail without one
-- they return, and the lane reports a pass having never opened a package.
build-packages.sh needs no stock firmware, which is what makes that possible.

Docs, and the packages skill, which still documented pkg_buildopkg and
work/.opkg-host as how the payload is assembled -- the host opkg went in
dcd037c and the printer's own installs the feed now -- and still claimed
qa/static holds an ABI gate over every ELF in every package. It does not:
qa/replica/test_abi.py is the only one, and qa/static asserts a seventh does
not grow back.

Verified: qa/static is 122 passed / 110 errors here, identical to master --
every error is `vendor/opkg-utils is missing` in a checkout that has not run
`make vendor`. mkdocs build --strict passes. The new shellcheck gate was run
as written. The workflows themselves were not executed.

tools/replica/printer/*.sh live inside the published image, so those edits
take effect on the next `make printer-image`; behaviour is unchanged either
way, because nothing sets PROG_DUMP any more.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 9b5b562a22 Comments: keep the contract and the trap, drop the narration
A sweep over every commented file in the tree. What is kept is what a
reader needs to change the code safely: what a thing is, its signature,
the invariants other files depend on, and the traps that fail silently
(find's non-zero exit under set -e, s6's baked-in libexecdir, the -lm
that decides whether _sqlite3 exists, opkg's compile-time prefix).

What goes is the narration around it: incident histories, arguments
against alternatives already rejected, restatements of the code below,
and paragraphs re-explaining a rule three files already state. One
paragraph in pkgs/3rdparty/opkg/build.sh was duplicated outright.

Comment lines 7971 -> 6158. Every change is comment-only: no
non-comment line differs anywhere in the 86 files, checked
mechanically. Commented-out config directives (#fast_feed: 30000 and
friends) are documentation of defaults and are kept.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 fbb3182e68 bin/verify.sh is retired; four of its forty checks move to qa/replica
verify.sh described itself as "simulate every check the printer performs,
against a built package". The word carrying that sentence is SIMULATE, and it
is why thirty-six of the forty are deleted rather than moved.

THE REPLICA LANE DOES NOT SIMULATE THE INSTALL. install-package.sh puts the
package on a genuine FAT filesystem at /dev/sda1 and runs the machine's own
/usr/prog/app_startup.sh over it, verbatim, under qemu. So these are
PRECONDITIONS of the lane now rather than assertions in it -- break any and
installed_image() raises with the install log and the whole lane goes red:

  * the decrypt with the firmware key (the printer's unTar does it)
  * runFirmwareExe.sh present, components plain tar not xz (bare `tar -xvf`)
  * md5sum.list verifying (the installer aborts and deletes the payload)
  * the MACHINE= gate (runFirmwareExe.sh refuses a foreign package)
  * the /mnt/<Model>-*.tgz glob (app_startup.sh finds the file by it)

A host-side re-reading of those rules is a second implementation, and a second
implementation can agree with itself while disagreeing with the printer. That
is the defect qa/replica/conftest.py records this repo learning twice about
hand-placed payloads.

A second block was asking what the suite already answers, of an installed
filesystem rather than of a tar listing: the klippy tree and c_helper.so
(test_install, test_abi), the s6-rc database and the oneshot runner's execline
(test_s6rc), s6 and s6-ftrigrd (test_supervisor), the .install-manifest
(test_upgrade), libsodium's bare .so symlink and the chamber configs
(static/test_ipk), and every shipped script's syntax
(static/test_shell_syntax).

THE FOUR THAT MOVED are the ones nothing else asks, and each is stronger for
the move -- a `tar -t` listing cannot tell you that a shared object loads, or
what a name resolves to on a PATH:

  * the interpreter IMPORTS sqlite3, lmdb and _cffi_backend, rather than a
    grep finding three .so files. This is what catches a cross build that
    resolved to an x86_64 manylinux wheel: present on disk, raises on import.
  * nothing in $MODDIR/bin shadows FlashForge's python3 -- asked with
    `command -v` after sourcing anvil-env.sh, which is the file that PREPENDS
    $MODDIR/bin to PATH and so creates the hazard in the first place.
  * CPython's dev half (headers, pkgconfig, config-3.13-*) did not ship.
  * the ship boundary: no file on the installed printer is byte-identical to
    one under bin/ or docker/. Asked of the machine rather than of the .tgz,
    so it also sees whatever a maintainer script wrote as root at install
    time. The sweep filters on exact size before hashing, which is what keeps
    a walk of /usr/prog through qemu cheap.

WHAT GENUINELY LEFT, recorded in docs/qa-migration.md rather than only here:
there is no longer a check you can run on the build host, in seconds and
without docker, against a package you are about to flash. Nothing warns you
before you copy the file to a stick that it was built from the wrong model's
stock package. The printer still refuses it and `make qa-replica` still
catches it, but the fast host-side warning the hardware checklist used is
gone. `make verify` is removed and `make release` no longer calls it.

VERIFIED. All four ran against a real replica (the cached installed image,
PRINTER_IMAGE=monstrofil/creator5-printer:latest): 4 passed in 17s. Then each
was DRIVEN RED on purpose with a throwaway module, which is this repo's own
standard from 4ce928f -- bin/common.sh copied byte-for-byte into $MODDIR, a
python3 symlink in $MODDIR/bin, an include/python3.13 directory, and a module
name that does not exist. Each was caught, each named the planted file in its
message, and each went green again once it was removed. The leak sweep walks
21132 files under $MODDIR and /usr/prog, so its floor of 100 is not load
bearing. The static lane goes 123 -> 122, which is exactly the `bash -n` test
that test_shell_syntax.py generated per bin/*.sh file.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 57c776ee63 test/ is deleted; qa/ is the only suite
The eight files were already gone from the working tree. What this commit does
is everything that had to follow them, because nothing else had been updated
and three of the four things pointing at test/ were on a build or release path.

WHAT WAS STILL WIRED TO IT

  pkgs/klipper/build.sh   ran test/test-chelper.py under `|| pkg_die`. With the
                          file gone `make packages` would have died on every
                          klipper build.
  bin/verify.sh           ran the same script and read a non-zero exit as
                          "c_helper.so does not match the shipped klippy tree
                          (stale build)" -- a false red on every release verify
                          rather than an error about a missing file. Its
                          ship-boundary check also globbed `find bin test
                          docker`; that is `find bin docker` now.
  pytest.ini              testpaths = test, so a bare `pytest` collected
                          nothing at all. It is `qa` now, which is what the
                          comment above it was already describing.
  qa/static/              PY_GLOBS listed test/*.py and test/integration/*.py,
    test_shell_syntax.py  and _files() makes an empty glob a collection error
                          on purpose -- so the whole static lane failed to
                          collect, taking 93 unrelated tests with it.

Also dropped: the `pytest -- the host-side tree` step in ci.yml, the `test-py`
target with its .PHONY entry and two help lines, and qa/conftest.py's opening
paragraph explaining why qa/ sat beside test/ rather than inside it.

THE CHELPER SYMBOL CHECK IS GONE, NOT MOVED

It compared the .so's dynamic symbols against what klippy cdefs, and it was the
only check for a c_helper.so built from older sources than the klippy tree
beside it -- the failure that shipped once and bricked klippy startup on
hardware, because cffi resolves lazily and a stale .so imports cleanly.
qa/replica/test_install.py covers the ELF arch and nan2008 and nothing else.

What stands in its place is structural rather than a gate: pkgs/klipper
compiles the .so from the chelper sources of the very tree it ships, so the
mismatch is not something the recipe can produce. The comments in
pkgs/klipper/build.sh and docs/building.md now say that is the whole defence.

DOCS

docs/testing.md's "what is left in test/" section is now "test/ is gone", and
it names what went uncovered rather than leaving it to be found: the tool-frame
arithmetic in ff_toolchange, the chamber macros' per-model branching, the stamp
discipline in ff-startup.py, and the verification G-code against the shipped
macros. docs/hardware-testing.md said `make test-py` keeps the two
gcode/creator5-*.gcode files honest; it now says nothing does, and to read them
by hand when a macro is renamed. Paths corrected in docs/building.md,
docs/printer-replica.md and docs/qa-migration.md's intro.

Verified: `pytest` collects 366; qa/static is 136 passed, up from 43 because
the lane could not collect before this. Its 110 errors are this checkout's
missing vendor/opkg-utils, the same cause before and after. bin/verify.sh,
pkgs/klipper/build.sh and the Makefile parse; ci.yml is valid YAML.

Not touched, and stale before this commit: tools/python/README.md and
tools/supervisor/README.md still document test/integration/printer/case-*.sh
and a printer-exec.py that earlier commits removed.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 c92b3c9e86 anvil.conf is gone; a component runs because it is installed
The file held three unrelated things behind one name: gates deciding which
services boot, switches for the splash / the startup wait / the first-boot
import, and tunables for the camera and the nice values. Every one of them
defaulted to on, and what each offered was a half-installed printer -- a state
nobody chose on purpose and everything downstream carried a second answer for.

firmwareExe no longer expands the ok-all bundle and filters it, it asks for the
bundle: BOOT_SET=ok-all. A printer that should not run a component does not
have it -- `opkg remove`, or a stock FlashForge package.

The settings worth keeping are each stated once now, in the service that uses
them: the camera's resolution in its run script, nice 10 there and nice 5 in
moonraker's (the values every install was getting from the template, not the
0 the inline fallback said). ff-startup's `up` stops passing --timeout and
--klipper-tries at all, because 240 and 6 are already ff-startup.py's own
defaults and two statements of a default can disagree.

Nothing sources the file, so nothing reads it, so it must not survive an
upgrade looking editable. run-append.sh stops preserving it and removes it
unconditionally beside init.d and anvil-service.sh -- unconditionally because
the pre-manifest sweep removes seven DIRECTORIES and would leave this file
sitting at the top of $MODDIR. The two upgrade tests that asserted the edit
survived now assert the file does not.

seed/ leaves anvil-core entirely, which takes with it the recipe's one
exception to "every sibling directory is shipped", the seed mount in the
replica plumbing, and its exemption in the .ipk allowlist.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 4ce928f160 The last two artefact ABI gates go; the toolchain check stays
Follow-on to 7dda2fe, which left the gates in tools/ alone pending a call on
whether they were the same rule. Two of the four were.

REMOVED, because qa/replica/test_abi.py now answers exactly this:

  * tools/python/build.sh walked every ELF in the install stage
  * tools/python-packages/build.sh walked every .so in site-packages
  * tools/python-packages/build-libsodium.sh gated the object that ships

Both walkers pinned the e_flags word EXACTLY -- 0x70001405 for an EXEC,
0x70001407 for a DYN -- which made them the strictest of the six and strict
enough to be wrong: the low three bits are NOREORDER/PIC/CPIC and vary
between objects of identical ABI, so libarchive's 0x70001406 is refused by
that rule and loaded happily by the kernel. The replica gate masks them off.
libsodium keeps its readelf output; a build log that says what it produced
is worth having, it just no longer decides anything.

KEPT, because it is a different question about a different object: the
compiler wrapper check in pkgs/lib.sh (and the copies in the two standalone
tools/ trees). It compiles a hello-world and reads THAT header, so it judges
the toolchain rather than any artefact -- something a filesystem sweep
structurally cannot do, since it cannot see a compiler. It also fails in a
second, before a feed is built on a wrapper that quietly lost -mnan=2008,
where the replica gate would report several hundred files minutes later.
test_the_toolchain_wrapper_is_still_checked_before_anything_is_built now
holds it in place from that side.

AND THE GUARD HAD A HOLE, found while doing this. The version in 7dda2fe
grepped the build scripts for nan2008 and mips_abi_gate, so it never saw
pkg_toolchain's check in pkgs/lib.sh -- which is written in raw hex and says
neither word. A gate can be written entirely in hex, so the guard now looks
for 0x7000140 as well, and permits it only in the four files allowed the
wrapper check. It does NOT look for mips32r2: that is also an ISA compiler
flag, and pkgs/3rdparty/openssl/build.sh legitimately passes -mips32r2, so
guarding on it reports the flag -- a false alarm, and then a guard nobody
reads.

Both guards were driven red on purpose: an artefact gate returned to a
recipe, a hex-only gate returned to bin/common.sh (the form the old one
missed), and the wrapper check deleted from pkgs/lib.sh.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 a534b4a744 klipperDaemon is a link too; its nice value moves to anvil.conf
The third file in $MODDIR/prog was the only one anvil-link-prog.sh did not
own. It could not be a link because its CONTENT was machine-specific: the
installer seded FlashForge's KLIPPER_NICENESS into it on every flash, off the
file it was replacing. That is the whole reason it was hand-copied, and the
hand-copy is what silently broke -- its guard named a path the file had
stopped shipping at, so no printer got the shim at all.

We do not carry FlashForge's number forward. NICE_KLIPPER is ours now, in
anvil.conf beside NICE_MOONRAKER and NICE_CAM, templated from config.env by
patch.sh section 10 like the other two, and read by etc/s6-rc/source/klipper/run
the way camera/run and moonraker/run read theirs. Default 0 -- normal priority,
which is what stock shipped and almost certainly what you want: klipper_pri.sh
already puts klippy's main thread on SCHED_FIFO 50 and its serial reader thread
calls os.nice(-20) itself, so this knob only matters when the chrt did not take.

With nothing machine-specific left in it, klipperDaemon is one more link_one.
Whether the stock software carries a klipperDaemon does not matter: link_one
replaces whatever it finds, and it runs after the payload has landed. The 14
lines of sed/mv/chmod in run-append.sh are gone, and an `opkg upgrade
anvil-core` now changes what the printer runs for all three files instead of
two.

Gates: the replica symlink test covers all three paths, and a new one RUNS
`klipperDaemon start` -- it must exit 0, say klipper is supervised, and leave no
second klippy behind. The file being in place said nothing about what it does,
which is how the old breakage hid.

Verified: the nice branch over an explicit 0, a real value, and no anvil.conf at
all; and the anvil.conf substitution with NICE_KLIPPER set.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 9aece5b890 klipperDaemon was never replaced on any printer
installer/run-append.sh guards the klipperDaemon replacement with

    if [ -f $MODDIR/bin/klipperDaemon ] && [ -d /usr/prog/klipper ]; then

and the file ships at $MODDIR/prog/klipperDaemon. It moved there in 057a3a1
("The boot was seven scripts in filename order. It is one compiled graph now")
and this guard did not, so the test has been false on every printer since: the
whole block was skipped in silence, and every release kept FlashForge's own
klipperDaemon.

What that means on a machine: stock `klipperDaemon start` forks a second,
UNSUPERVISED klippy beside the s6-supervised one -- two processes fighting for
/dev/ttyS4 and /tmp/uds. Our shim exists to make that `start` a no-op, and it
has not been installed. The UI's restart-firmware path and a habit over ssh both
call it.

Nothing could have caught it. sh -n parses it, shellcheck likes it, and both
lanes stay green because the branch never runs. The niceness grep in
etc/s6-rc/source/klipper/run kept working by accident: it reads
/usr/prog/klipper/klipperDaemon, which is still FlashForge's, and FlashForge's
number is what it wanted.

So the fix comes with the gate it needed. qa/static/test_moddir_paths.py asserts
that every literal `[ -f $MODDIR/... ]` existence guard in installer/ and in the
payload scripts names a path some recipe actually ships -- the shell half of
test_no_undefined_names, and the same class of failure: a name that resolves
nowhere, on a path that only runs on a printer. Three exemptions, each with a
reason: anvil.conf (templated, user state), .prev-root-hash (written at
runtime), and helix-launcher.sh (inside anvil-helixscreen's upstream tarball,
shipped but not committed).

Verified by reintroducing the bug: the test fails with
"installer/run-append.sh:218  $MODDIR/bin/klipperDaemon".

Found while confirming that firmwareExe and start.sh are anvil-core's and get
symlinked by anvil-link-prog.sh -- they are, since 214a4e5. klipperDaemon is the
third file in payload/prog/ and the only one still hand-copied by the installer
rather than linked, which is why it could drift.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 7dda2fee0d ABI gate: one check, on the filesystem the kernel loads from
mips_abi_gate answered "did this recipe stage the right ABI", once per
recipe, over a PKG_ROOT. Four implementations of that one rule had grown up
around it -- the function in bin/common.sh, the call at the packaging
boundary, two recipes that re-ran it on their own output, and a
readelf|grep nan2008 in bin/verify.sh reading a single .so -- and between
them they still could not see the largest binary we ship: bin/patch.sh
unpacks HelixScreen into /usr/prog and no gate ever read that tree.
pkgs/helixscreen/pkg.conf had carried a note saying exactly that.

qa/replica/test_abi.py replaces all of it. It walks the installed
filesystem on the printer's own CPython -- one qemu process, ~24000 files,
8s -- and reads the ELF header of everything it finds. That is the only
place where what the recipes staged, what opkg unpacked, what patch.sh
copied and what FlashForge shipped are all visible at once, and it is the
thing the question is actually about: the kernel does not read a PKG_ROOT.

MEASURED, not assumed: 603 ELF objects on a real install. 569 the loader
handles and 568 of those conform. The exemptions are the other two, both
narrow. ET_REL objects (33 stock .ko files, plus a stray python.o in
FlashForge's CPython 3.8 tree) are not asked about the FP ABI, because
insmod and the linker read them rather than the ELF loader and kernel code
has no FP ABI to agree about -- by e_type, so the python.o needs no case of
its own. And /usr/prog/PROGRAM/ffstartup-arm is an ARM binary FlashForge
ships that nothing in the stock tree names; exempt by path, so an ARM
binary anywhere else still fails.

The architecture is settled before anything is classified, and that
ordering came from planting a counterexample rather than from reasoning: a
big-endian object decodes its own e_type big-endian, so ET_DYN reads back
as 768, lands in neither bucket, and an earlier draft looked straight at it
and passed. Every gate here was driven red on purpose before it was kept --
an x86-64 .so in $MODDIR, a real mipsel object with EF_MIPS_NAN2008
cleared, an ARM binary outside the exempt path, a big-endian object, an
x86-64 object among the .ko files, and a truncated sweep.

test_install.py's two chelper header tests go with it: they read one file
out of the several hundred on the same fixture, a strict subset of what now
runs. Whether the package ships a chelper at all stays test_install.py's
question and is not asked twice. test_ipk.py's assertion that the gate
exists becomes an assertion that a second one has not grown back beside it.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 965cf67d93 Compile the s6-rc database where the packages are installed
The replica already installs the feed with the printer's own opkg, and
anvil-s6-rc already ships s6-rc-compile -- pkgs/3rdparty/s6-rc/build.sh keeps
it deliberately, "the only way to recover a printer whose database is wrong
without rebuilding a package on a laptop". So the compiler was sitting in the
container the whole time, three lines after the install that puts the source
tree there.

bin/patch.sh section 5b-2 built a second, NATIVE skalibs+execline+s6+s6-rc
instead -- four ./configure && make passes cached in work/.s6-native -- purely
to get an s6-rc-compile that runs on x86. 110 lines, and its entire hazard was
self-inflicted: s6-rc-compile bakes the #! of the execline the COMPILER was
linked against into the oneshot runner, so a native stack configured with a
different --prefix ships a database whose every oneshot ENOENTs on the printer.
Compiling with the compiler we ship cannot get that wrong.

The output is the same object. docs/notes/80-s6-migration.md records the
measurement from 2026-08-28: one source tree, the host compiler and the target
one under qemu, byte-identical db, n and resolve.cdb and identical servicedirs.
That measurement was made to justify compiling on the host; it works just as
well in the other direction.

The rejected alternative in the old comment -- ship s6-rc-compile and compile
at INSTALL time on the printer -- is a different thing and stays rejected.

qa/static/test_s6rc_source.py is dropped. It was the only consumer of the
native compiler, and it hard-failed on any checkout that had not run `make
build`: 14 of the static suite's errors were it saying so. What goes with it is
the timeout and edge assertions, which are now made nowhere; qa/replica/
test_s6rc.py still boots the real thing. bin/verify.sh keeps the half a host
can still check, moved out of patch.sh: the oneshot runner's shebang, and that
compiled/current resolves -- read as text straight out of the shipped payload,
so it needs no mipsel binary.

bin/patch.sh: 278 -> 207 lines. Static suite: 122 passed, errors 124 -> 110.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 214a4e58b9 anvil-core owns firmwareExe and start.sh; kill the 3.8.2 myth
Three things, all downstream of klippy having moved to $MODDIR and our own
CPython 3.13.

SECTIONS 8 AND 9 ARE GONE. Both files install at $MODDIR/prog/ and
anvil-link-prog.sh points the stock paths at them -- from run-append.sh on a
flash and from anvil-core's postinst on `opkg upgrade anvil-core`. Nothing
execs either between run.sh distributing the component and link-prog running,
so the component copy bought no ordering. It cost, though: our firmwareExe
with no payload behind it logs "no anvil-env.sh", finds no s6-svscan and then
`while true; do sleep 3600; done` -- a printer that boots to a blank screen for
ever and never reaches app_startup.sh's own recovery. Absent, that recovery
restores a firmwareExe from a version directory. So patch.sh now REMOVES both
from the component: the stock component carries them, and deleting the two cp
lines alone would have shipped FlashForge's originals.

SECTION 5c IS GONE. It did no work -- two du prints and a comment whose first
line was the falsehood below.

THE FALSEHOOD. "klippy runs on the stock 3.8.2, started by
/usr/prog/klipper/start.sh" had spread well past patch.sh, and it had reached
things people follow:

  - docs/toolchange.md told owners to scp the ff_*.py extras to
    /usr/prog/klipper/klippy/extras/ -- the wrong partition -- and warned that
    an OTA would delete them there. Same wrong path in three ff-*.cfg headers
    and in ff_toolchange.py.
  - versions.env labelled our CPython 3.13 and its eighteen packages
    "SHIPPED BUT NOT USED".
  - docs/how-it-works.md said Moonraker runs on python3.8, contradicting line
    126 of the same file.

All corrected. Historical notes keep their history and get a [Superseded: ...]
marker instead -- including 80-s6-migration.md's "s6-rc-compile is not
shipped", which pkgs/3rdparty/s6-rc/build.sh contradicts deliberately.

Found while reviewing: every docs/ reference to the ff-*.cfg pointed at
pkgs/anvil-core/payload/config/, which does not exist -- they are
anvil-klipper-config's. 28 references across 9 files, several of them broken
markdown links on the published site. All 24 relative links under docs/ now
resolve.

Gates: verify.sh syntax-checks prog/start.sh and prog/firmwareExe out of the
payload (firmwareExe was never syntax-checked before) and fails if the
component carries either. A new replica test asserts both stock paths are
symlinks into $MODDIR/prog and do not dangle. One existing replica test stubbed
firmwareExe by redirecting into $FE, which now writes THROUGH the symlink into
the packaged wrapper; it moves the link aside instead.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 53292b4d78 klippy runs from $MODDIR, so patch.sh stops staging a second copy
The klipper s6-rc service already execs klippy under $FF_PYTHON -- our own
CPython 3.13 -- but it read the tree from /usr/prog/klipper/klippy: a copy
bin/patch.sh staged into the software component out of the very anvil-klipper
package that also installed it under $MODDIR. Two copies of one tree, and the
one that ran was the one a stock flash could overwrite.

One line moves it: KLIPPY=$MODDIR/klipper/klippy/klippy.py.

That deletes sections 1 and 2 of bin/patch.sh -- the cp -a of the klippy tree,
the chelper.tar wrapped around a .so the package already contained, the rm -rf
of the stock extras/ and kinematics/, and the ff_*.py copy. The software
component now carries firmwareExe, start.sh and run.sh and nothing else of
ours, which is the phase 7 end state in docs/notes/80-s6-migration.md.

It also lets pkgs/klipper declare the dependencies it has had since the
interpreter moved. cffi and greenlet reached the printer only through a
hardcoded list in patch.sh, so every build had them and no `opkg install
anvil-klipper` did; pyserial and jinja2 came only as anvil-moonraker's
Depends, so a BUILD_MOONRAKER=0 build shipped a klippy that dies the first
time it opens an MCU. Both are real Depends now and MOD_ROOTS drops to ten.

Also repointed: run-append.sh's __pycache__ sweep, which was clearing the tree
nothing imports while klippy writes bytecode into the one it does -- and those
runtime-created directories are in no .install-manifest, so the manifest
delete walks past them.

verify.sh reads the klippy tree and c_helper.so out of the payload (extracting
./klipper alone), and gains a check that the component does NOT carry a klippy
tree. New replica tests assert the service execs the payload tree under
$FF_PYTHON and that cffi/greenlet/serial/jinja2 import on it.

Comments in anvil-env.sh, verify.sh and pkgs/klipper/pkg.conf that still said
klippy runs on FlashForge's 3.8.2 are corrected; that stopped being true when
FF_PYTHON moved.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 c185ef3285 The replica is a build tool; test/ is 28 unit tests
Two changes that turned out to be one.

MOVED, NOT DELETED. `test/ffsim/` and `test/integration/printer/` are
`tools/replica/`. They were never tests: bin/patch.sh calls
bin/build-payload.py, which starts a replica and assembles the payload by
running the PRINTER'S OWN opkg against / inside it -- so the "test harness"
was on the build path, and deleting it as asked would have broken `make
build`. qa/lib/replica.py drives the same directory unmodified. No content
changed; what changed is qa/lib/replica.py's build directory, three launcher
sys.path lines, the Makefile targets and the CI shellcheck glob.
tools/replica/README.md says who drives it and why it is not under test/.

CUT TO 28. The five surviving modules were 136 tests; they are 28, chosen on
one question: would this failure be SILENT? What is kept is the mistakes that
run perfectly and are wrong --

  test_startup       8  no stamp unless the values are verifiably saved (a
                        stamp written early is a printer that has lost its
                        factory calibration for good), and the handover order
  test_tool_transform 7 every one is a move to the wrong place: a sign, a
                        frame left applied while probing, a stale gcode_move
                        cache, a config a calibrated printer cannot parse
  test_ffscreen      5  the four ways it can do harm rather than look wrong
  test_chamber       4  the chamber mistakes that cost a print before anyone
                        sees them, plus the parse gate they rest on
  test_gcode         4  a renamed macro, and the safe file being cold

What went: the panel narration, the geometry probe and parse_geometry, the
z_adjust and per-job-Z bookkeeping, the config layout checks, the G-code
bounds checks. Each is either a wrong number shown to a person, or a failure
the printer reports loudly the first time -- and qa/replica/test_boot_screen.py
already renders the real frames on the real machine.

The rewrite is not a delete: assertions were folded so a kept test asks its
question in every direction it can be got wrong (both models, both rotations,
all four ways the migration can fail), and each file's header now says what it
dropped and why, where the next person will open it.

Also gone: conftest's `rootfs` fixture, orphaned two commits ago. Nothing under
test/ needs the firmware, docker, or a network any more.

28 host-side tests pass in 0.15s. qa/static unchanged at 218. `make rootfs`
re-verified end to end from its new path.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 465c9902f1 test/: drop the seven modules whose subject was the fake
Eight files, 46 tests and make-stock-fixture.sh. Each of the seven test
modules built a stand-in -- a klippy stub, an argparse Namespace, a config
tree -- elaborate enough that what they pinned down was the stand-in's
behaviour rather than the printer's. What is left under test/ is the Klipper
config gate and the three modules whose subject is our own Python: ff-startup,
ffscreen, and the tool transform.

make-stock-fixture.sh goes with them. docs/qa-migration.md argued for keeping
it as the input a future build-path test would need, but it fed a gate that no
longer exists, and a fixture generator with no consumer rots exactly as
silently as a test that asserts nothing. What it had learnt is recorded in the
doc so whoever ports the build path does not have to find it twice.

The coverage this gives up is written down rather than glossed: a new section
in docs/qa-migration.md names every dropped file, what it asserted, and what
now asks the question instead -- for four of them, nothing. The one worth
watching is the shebang-executable check, which qa/ makes only of
qa/replica/actions/*.sh.

Falling out of it: the rootfs fixture in test/conftest.py had no users left,
and nothing under test/ needs the proprietary firmware any more. Comments in
qa/static/test_probes.py, qa/replica/test_mcu_bringup.py, bin/patch.sh and
ci.yml that pointed at the deleted files say what is true now; the tree
listing in docs/building.md was stale from the run-tests.py removal and is
rewritten.

136 host-side tests pass. qa/static is unchanged at 218.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 6aa622d2ff 6,280 lines of case scripts reported 13 bits. They are 118 tests now.
test/run-tests.py is gone, and with it the bespoke harness that wrapped
pytest, re-parsed its JUnit XML, and drove thirteen replica case scripts to
get one boolean back from each. Every gate it ran is either a module under
qa/replica/ or deliberately retired.

PORTED. case-install.sh (579 lines, 1 bit) is test_install.py, 22 tests, asked
of the machine the printer's own app_startup.sh built rather than one the
harness assembled. case-upgrade.sh is 21, case-supervisor.sh 31,
case-boot-screen.sh 17, case-mcu-bringup.sh 8, and case-nginx.sh plus
case-moonraker313-s6.sh are test_web.py's 7.

RETIRED, subject deleted by the s6-rc switch: case-services.sh, case-nginx.sh,
case-moonraker.sh, case-moonraker313-s6.sh, case-camera.sh and
case-priority.sh drove $MODDIR/init.d/S* or sourced anvil-service.sh, neither
of which exists. Decided against real output -- `make test-services` failed
with "the payload ships no anvil-service.sh". case-pyext.sh and
case-moonraker313.sh went too: no gate, no target, no CI step, never run once.

RETIRED as a coverage decision: case-python.sh (test_web.py runs real Moonraker
on that interpreter, which is harder), case-libpath.sh, and case-recovery.sh.
The last is the brick-safety rollback and has no replacement; it is recorded in
docs/qa-migration.md rather than left to be discovered.

THREE ASSERTIONS HAD STOPPED MEANING ANYTHING, and each had been green for
months:

  * case-mcu-bringup.sh's negative control had INVERTED. It asserted the
    bring-up fails without LD_LIBRARY_PATH; CPython is --disable-shared now and
    needs no library path, so the case's own skip branch was the one firing.
  * case-upgrade.sh's headline assertion was VACUOUS. run-append.sh:150 does
    `rm -rf $MODDIR/init.d` unconditionally, outside the manifest branch, so
    "the update removed the stale S60web" passed regardless of the manifest
    logic it was written to test.
  * case-boot-screen.sh CONFIRMED ITS OWN ARITHMETIC, computing expected pixel
    packing by calling ffscreen._pixel inside the replica -- a swapped R/B
    matched itself.

case-install.sh's boot-log grep is not reproduced for the same reason: the log
line names every service in the boot set including the ones that then fail, so
grepping it cannot go red. The compiled database is asked instead.

TWO REAL BUGS FOUND ON THE WAY.

assemble.sh attached /stick.img with `losetup` and wrote the device to
/stick.loop, which NOTHING HAS EVER READ. Loop devices are the host's, not the
container's, so every USB_STICK=1 run leaked one permanently and a WSL2 kernel
has thirteen. Once they were gone every replica run failed with "failed to
setup loop device", which looks like a docker fault and is not. Detached now in
entrypoint.sh on the way out, and in qa's stop() for the held-open containers
that never take that path.

test_startup.py was 43 tests red: it built its argparse.Namespace by hand and
had never been taught --only-bringup / --no-bringup, and its FakeKlipper still
modelled start.sh plus a separate stop when klipper is restarted with one
`s6-svc -wr -t`.

CI AND RELEASE. The replica job was getting its package as a side effect of
run-tests.py running unpack/patch/pack; that is an explicit step now, as the
comment there predicted it would have to be. release.yml tested the exact files
it ships through sim-install.py, whose exit status the loop was discarding --
it is `REAL_PKG=<pkg> pytest ./qa/replica` per model now, 22 named results each.

WHAT IS NOT TESTED ANY MORE: bin/unpack.sh, patch.sh, pack.sh and verify.sh.
The packaging build on a synthetic stock package went with the runner and has
no counterpart in qa/. That is the path producing the .tgz a user flashes.
make-stock-fixture.sh is kept as the input a replacement needs.

Measured: qa/static 246 passed, qa/replica 110 passed and 8 blocked on hardware
the replica has not got (no /dev/ttyS*, no /dev/video*, so ok-all is
unreachable), test/ pytest 185 passed.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 abd4a01d73 Adopt the s6-rc boot graph -- DOES NOT BOOT YET, see below
Merge of qa-suite-bridgehead into the packaging line. The seven init.d/S*
scripts and the hand-written etc/s6 servicedirs are gone; anvil-core ships
etc/s6-rc/source/ and bin/patch.sh compiles it into etc/s6-rc/compiled/ after
the payload is installed. klipperDaemon joins firmwareExe and start.sh in
payload/prog/, all three linked into place by anvil-link-prog.sh.

WHAT IS KNOWN BROKEN. qa/replica/test_s6rc.py fails: the tree never comes up,
because s6-rc-init dies with

    unable to supervise service directories in /run/s6-rc/servicedirs:
    Value too large for defined data type

That is EOVERFLOW out of the readdir() loop in s6rc_servicedir_manage.c, which
checks errno after every entry. Measured, and these are ruled out:

  * not the live directory's filesystem -- fails identically with -l on
    /usr/data as with the default /run, and the inodes there are 3 and
    1358496, nowhere near 32 bits
  * not the database -- s6-rc-db lists all eleven services out of it, and a
    database recompiled inside the replica by the TARGET s6-rc-compile fails
    exactly like the one compiled natively on x86
  * not a missing -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -- both s6-svscan and s6-rc-init
    reference readdir64 and never plain readdir

What is left is the toolchain. qa-suite-bridgehead built s6, s6-rc, execline
and skalibs with the Bootlin musl toolchain, where readdir has no EOVERFLOW
path at all; the packaging line builds them as recipes against the Ingenic
glibc, where it does. s6-svscan looked healthy only because it was started on
an EMPTY scandir, which never reaches the loop.

Everything else is green: 262 static tests, and bin/verify.sh passes on the
73MB package, including the graph's own "compiled s6-rc database" check.

Resolution notes: the five MOD_* switches stay deleted -- firmwareExe defaults
every gate to 1, so nothing changes -- but MOD_CAM is now worth having by hand
on a cameraless printer, because the camera is a longrun that waits out
timeout-up. anvil-service.sh went with init.d; nothing sourced it.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 39b5cb0d0b ipk-install was a stand-in for an opkg the printer now has
The script says so itself: it existed so phase 1 could ship without
waiting for a cross-built opkg, and it would hand its database over when
the real client arrived. pkgs/3rdparty/opkg builds that client, and
anvil-opkg is in bin/patch.sh's payload roots, so the printer has opkg
and the stand-in has nothing left to do.

Nothing called it. bin/build-payload.py assembles the payload with the
printer's own opkg inside the replica, and the test that existed only to
keep ipk-install off the build path was a guard against a file that is
now gone. Its five round-trip tests went with it.

The shellcheck lane loses one file rather than a rule: _files() refuses a
glob that matches nothing, so the two entries had to go with the script.

Cherry-picked from fc98b04 on worktree-drop-ipk-install, so the two
branches carry the same patch. Resolved against this branch's payload
build: the host opkg that commit still described is deleted here, and the
lane globs are payload/prog/ rather than prog/.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 5f36cd14e3 Say what the code does, not what it used to
Comment cleanup over the files this branch touched, plus the dead code the
last two commits left:

  * pkgs/lib.sh's pkg_buildopkg, 89 lines building the x86-64 opkg nothing
    calls any more, and the qa test that checked its configure flags
  * patch.sh's "5d. what is no longer here" section, and its mkdir of the
    prefix directories -- build-payload.py replaces $PAYLOAD_DIR wholesale, so
    they were created and then thrown away
  * the two emptied creator5*-config recipe directories

The rest is prose. Comments that narrated a previous design -- what the host
opkg did, which package used to own the chamber config, that prog/ was once a
sibling of payload/ -- are gone rather than shortened; the ones explaining
constraints that still hold are trimmed to the constraint.

docs/building.md and docs/toolchange.md describe the packages as they are.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 ea1364ebca The payload is installed by the printer, not by a host opkg
bin/build-payload.py starts the replica, lets the machine's own opkg install
the feed onto the machine's own filesystem under qemu-mipsel, and tars
/usr/data/anvil back out. bin/patch.sh's section 0 is that call now.

WHAT THE OLD WAY COULD NOT DO. A host opkg under --offline-root leaves every
package Status: unpacked, because it cannot run maintainer scripts against a
staging tree -- so patch.sh passed --force-postinstall to make the database
claim work that had not happened. The payload shipped a postinst nothing had
ever executed. It runs now, on the target userland, and its output is in the
build log: anvil-core's postinst links the boot path and says so.

THE REPLICA NEEDED A WAY TO HAND SOMETHING BACK. Every mount was :ro, which
is right for a test harness and wrong for a build. run_case takes out_dir and
mounts one writable /out -- but not at /printer/out, because assemble.sh binds
/printer-src over /printer and a bind does not carry submounts, so the mount
would be silently buried. entrypoint-out.sh makes the seam the stock
entrypoint lacks: run it with a case that does nothing, then mount, then run
the real case. It chowns /out back to the caller afterwards, because a
privileged container writing into the repo leaves root-owned files the build
user cannot delete.

RUNBUILD IS A THIRD LANE for the same reason. The build has to reach the
docker socket now AND still run as you, or work/ fills with root-owned files
-- the two things the Makefile's existing split kept apart. --group-add with
the socket's own gid, read rather than assumed, answers both.

Left behind: pkgs/lib.sh's pkg_buildopkg is now defined and never called. It
builds the host opkg this replaces. Deleting it is a separate change.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 26e3388895 The printer picks its own chamber config
anvil-klipper-config carries printer.base.cfg and BOTH chamber configs, under
config/chamber/<Machine>.cfg, and anvil-link-prog.sh symlinks the right one
into /usr/data/config. The model comes from FlashForge's own app_startup.sh,
which carries MACHINE= at its top -- so the machine answers the question about
itself instead of a build being told the answer and having to be right.

THAT REMOVES A PACKAGE PAIR THAT COULD NOT COEXIST. anvil-klipper-creator5-config
and -creator5pro-config each owned config/printer.chamber.cfg, so they
Conflicted, opkg refused the pair with exit 255, and bin/patch.sh had to pick
one from TARGET_MACHINE. The payload was model-specific for the sake of one
file; it is not any more. TARGET_MACHINE still names the output, because
runFirmwareExe.sh gates on it.

THE SOFTWARE COMPONENT'S klipper/config IS NOW BYTE-IDENTICAL TO STOCK --
diffed, not assumed. printer.base.cfg was the last thing patch.sh wrote there.

The seven configs we do NOT modify stay stock and unpackaged, and that works
because Klipper resolves [include] against the directory of the file doing the
including, by the path as opened rather than the resolved target
(configfile.py: dirname = os.path.dirname(source_filename)). So a symlinked
printer.base.cfg still finds printer.filament.cfg and friends beside it in
/usr/data/config.

run-append.sh no longer copies the files the linker links -- copying would only
put a real file in the way of the symlink about to replace it. moonraker.conf
and moonraker-custom.conf keep their branches: those are user-editable, and a
symlink would lose the .mod-new preservation a tuned trusted_clients block
depends on.

anvil-klipper now Depends on anvil-klipper-config, which is where that
dependency always belonged -- it used to arrive only because the per-model
packages pulled it in, and naming it in MOD_ROOTS would answer a missing
dependency in the one place a printer's own `opkg install` never reads.

prog/ is gone as a recipe subtree. Its own test said an empty one was the good
outcome; it emptied, so the rule went with it.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 722804364a The boot path follows the package, not the last .tgz
firmwareExe and start.sh have to sit on /usr/prog because FlashForge's own
scripts look for them by absolute path. They are package files now
(anvil-core, under payload/prog/) and anvil-link-prog.sh replaces the copies
on /usr/prog with symlinks into $MODDIR, so what the printer executes is what
the package owns.

WHAT THAT BUYS: `opkg upgrade anvil-core` on a running printer used to update
$MODDIR and change nothing the boot path reads -- the new firmwareExe sat in
the payload while the old copy kept being run, and only a full .tgz could land
it. The postinst calls the same script, so an upgrade is now enough.

THE LINKS ARE MADE AFTER EXTRACTION, and that is the whole ordering. Stock
run.sh distributes the component at its lines 107-179 and run-append.sh does
not extract anvil.tar.xz until line 180, so the component cannot carry the
links itself: on a first install they would dangle, and on an upgrade they
would resolve to the payload being replaced and silently install the previous
release's files.

The component still carries real copies. That is what keeps a printer
bootable when the payload is not there, and patch.sh now takes them from the
installed payload rather than from a directory beside the recipe -- the same
move it already makes for the klippy fork.

A postinst needed the recipe system to have maintainer scripts at all, so
build-packages.sh copies pkgs/<name>/control/* into CONTROL/. Note what that
exposes: patch.sh installs with a host opkg under --offline-root
--force-postinstall, and that combination DOES run maintainer scripts, with
IPKG_INSTROOT empty, so their absolute paths are taken as written. Inside the
build image that is harmless -- there is no /usr/prog there -- and the
script's guard is what makes it a quiet no-op rather than an error.

pkg_payload_hash covers control/ too, or an edited postinst would read as
"already current". It takes two find calls because `find a b` with b missing
exits non-zero, which under the recipes' set -euo pipefail killed every build
whose recipe has no control/ -- silently, the existing 2>/dev/null swallowing
the one line that said so.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 09e1e6521f patch.sh was asking the payload questions its recipes had already answered
Four sections went. Three of them were checks: _sqlite3 by name, which
pkgs/3rdparty/python/build.sh already made; libsodium's symlink, which
pkgs/3rdparty/libsodium/build.sh already made; and an ABI walk of the whole
payload, which bin/build-packages.sh makes over every PKG_ROOT on the way into
every .ipk -- from the packaging loop rather than a build.sh, so cached trees
are re-read too.

The fourth was not a check. config.env's BUSYBOX_BIN was copied into the
payload here, which made it the one file no package owned: an allowance in the
"every file is owned" test, an ABI gate of its own because the payload-wide one
ran before the copy, and a file no `opkg remove` could take away. It is
pkgs/3rdparty/busybox now, PKG_WHEN-gated on BUSYBOX_BIN, and it needed a third
source verb -- pkg_prebuilt, beside pkg_unpack and pkg_intree -- because a
recipe names its source exactly once and this one's source is a path someone
typed. Once it was a package, nothing in the payload came from outside the
feed, which is what made the payload-wide ABI gate redundant rather than merely
duplicated.

The "at least twelve extension modules in site-packages" count was the one
check with nowhere to go and no duplicate. It is pkg_pynative in the seven
python-* recipes that ship a .so: an aggregate could say that a native package
had fallen back to a pure-python wheel but never which one, and each of those
recipes can say it about itself.

What that costs is written into the section it left: a gate inside build.sh
does not run on a cache hit, and no python recipe sets PKG_STAMP_EXTRA. That is
pkg_stamp's problem, not an argument for a second copy of every check here.

Measured: `make packages` builds anvil-busybox_1.31.1-1_mipsel_xburst2.ipk,
`make build` assembles a 32-package payload whose bin/busybox is listed in
anvil-busybox.list, and qa-static is 265 passed.

Oleksandr Shyshatskyi 21cf19f2e2 BUILD_KLIPPER=stock kept a Klipper nothing else was written for
The flag chose between the Klipper4FlashForge fork and FlashForge's own
v0.12 tree. Every other thing the mod ships had already stopped being
neutral about that choice: the ff_*.py extras are the fork's package's
own files, the ff-*.cfg declare sections only those extras implement,
and c_helper.so is compiled from the tree it ships beside. A stock build
was a printer with the mod's configuration and none of the code behind
it -- and the previous commit turned that into a hard error, which is
what showed the flag had nothing left to select.

So it is gone rather than guarded. pkgs/klipper loses its PKG_WHEN,
patch.sh section 1 loses the case and is straight-line, verify.sh
section 7 stops being conditional -- a package with no klippy tree is
now unrepresentable rather than merely gated -- and fetch-assets.sh
pulls the fork tarball on every build, the way it already does s6 and
CPython.

Two fixture-lane repairs come with it.

test/run-tests.py said BUILD_KLIPPER=stock to keep the lane off the
network. That reason had already expired: since the payload became the
feed installed, the lane runs build-packages first, and that needs the
~203MB Ingenic toolchain from vendor/ for CPython alone. The Klipper
tarball is 27MB beside it, cached on versions.env like everything else.
The lane now builds the fork, so verify.sh's ABI and symbol checks on
c_helper.so run there for the first time.

And the synthetic Moonraker tarball unpacked to moonraker-fixture/,
while pkgs/moonraker/build.sh looks for moonraker-$MOONRAKER_VERSION/ --
the shape GitHub generates. That lane could therefore never build
anvil-moonraker at all. It passed only while work/pkg/moonraker held a
tree from a REAL build, because pkg_stamp keys on the version and not on
the tarball; the first run against a cold cache died with "no
moonraker/moonraker.py", a true statement about a tarball nobody could
have made work. CI caches work/pkg on versions.env, so the first run
after any pin bump would have hit it. Confirmed pre-existing by running
the parent commit against the same cold cache: it fails identically.

make qa-static 261 passed; make test 9 gates, 0 failed, with the fixture
lane building Klipper and Moonraker from its own assets for the first
time; CI's shellcheck gate clean.

Oleksandr Shyshatskyi 53a2bc010b Five extras were on the firmware partition because of a flag
pkgs/klipper/prog/klippy/extras/ff_*.py sat on /usr/prog for one
reason, and it was not a technical one: anvil-klipper answers to
BUILD_KLIPPER and the extras answered to BUILD_TOOLCHANGE, and a
package cannot hold files gated differently from itself. So they stayed
outside every package, copied to the firmware partition by bin/patch.sh.

They are anvil-klipper's now, at payload/klipper/klippy/extras/, and
BUILD_TOOLCHANGE no longer gates them. An extra is inert until a config
section instantiates it, and those sections are anvil-klipper-config's,
where the flag still applies -- so the gate bought nothing and cost the
mismatch.

Inside the tree is the only place they can go: klippy resolves an extra
as dirname(klippy.py)/extras/<name>.py (klippy.py:90-103), with no
search path and no environment variable.

bin/patch.sh still copies them into the software component -- klippy
runs from /usr/prog until the s6 service lands -- but reads them out of
the payload now, the way section 1 already reads the klippy tree, so the
recipe directory is not a second source for a file a package holds. It
names the five rather than globbing ff_*.py: the fork ships an
ff_eddy.py of its own and the glob could not tell them apart. Verified
the component still gets exactly the same five files.

The flags are coupled by this, and patch.sh says so rather than shipping
a broken printer: BUILD_TOOLCHANGE=1 with BUILD_KLIPPER=stock now fails
with the fix in the message. It has to -- the extras are written against
the fork's v0.13 klippy, and dropping them onto FlashForge's v0.12 is
the half-overwritten mixture that shipped as v20260824. The fixture lane
in test/run-tests.py used exactly that pair (BUILD_KLIPPER=stock is a
no-network convenience there) and now sets BUILD_TOOLCHANGE=0.

pkgs/klipper/pkg.conf gains PKG_STAMP_EXTRA=$(pkg_payload_hash):
KLIPPER_VERSION says nothing about payload/, so without it an edit to
ff_toolchange.py would read as "already current".

make qa-static 261 passed; make test 9 gates, 0 failed. The .ipk carries
all five under klipper/klippy/extras/.

Oleksandr Shyshatskyi dce1f62146 Naming the release and letting Depends work out the rest
bin/patch.sh enumerated the payload by hand: every recipe from
pkg_recipes, minus the -dev packages, minus the chamber config for the
other model. Forty lines to compute a closure opkg already computes, and
computing it here meant the Depends fields were never read by anything.
A printer running `opkg install anvil-moonraker` would have been the
first to find out whether they were right.

The feed is indexed, so point opkg at it -- `src anvil file:$PKG_FEED`
and an `opkg update` -- and name the twelve packages the release IS.
opkg pulls the other nineteen and marks them Auto-Installed. `file:` is
answered before curl is reached at all (libopkg/opkg_download.c:134),
which is why this works with the --disable-curl host opkg.

The PKG_WHEN gates still reach here, by absence: a gated-off recipe
leaves no .ipk in the feed, so BUILD_KLIPPER=stock has nothing to
install and no BUILD_* flag is restated outside the pkg.conf that owns
it. The cost is that a misspelled root drops out the same silent way,
which test_the_payload_roots_name_real_packages now catches, and
test_the_payload_roots_stay_a_short_list keeps a missing file from being
answered by naming the package here instead of in the depending
recipe's PKG_DEPENDS.

Four of the twelve are Recommends, a field opkg does not have: pillow
and preprocess-cancellation are Moonraker's thumbnail path, which
pkgs/moonraker argues out of Depends; greenlet and cffi are klippy's,
which pkgs/klipper cannot declare while klippy still runs under
FlashForge's interpreter.

anvil-core is the one version that cannot be left to opkg -- its
PKG_VERSION is MOD_VER, today's date -- so its expected filename is
still checked before installing.

Payload verified against a build from the parent commit: 3298 paths,
modes and symlinks identical, every file's sha256 identical except
var/lib/opkg/status, which improves. Dependencies now say
"Auto-Installed: yes" and the flag field is "ok" rather than "user" on
packages nobody asked for by name. 31 packages, 154 ELF objects, as
before.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 8f54d87513 Comments that restated the code, and a few that had stopped being true
A pass over what this branch added, on the same rule as the branch merged
before it: a comment earns its place by saying WHY, and the ones here had
grown into essays.

bin/patch.sh 781 -> 555 lines, its comments 523 -> 297. The install section
keeps the three things a reader cannot get from the code -- the set comes from
pkg_recipes so the BUILD_ flags are read once, -dev is filtered by package
name because nine recipes ARE the dev package, --force-postinstall is what
stops the database saying "unpacked" about files that are in place -- and
loses the narration around them. Sections 3 and 4 were mostly an account of
the sections that used to be there; they are four lines now. The CPython and
libsodium headers keep the facts that took measuring (FF_PYTHON's callers, the
missing _sqlite3 that pins Moonraker, libnacl's __file__ arithmetic and its
dependence on "lib" appearing in the prefix) and drop the rest.

Same for pkg_buildopkg, the payload-path block in bin/common.sh, and the four
test docstrings.

Also fixed, found while reading rather than looked for:

  bin/build-packages.sh still called itself "the proof-of-concept half" and
  said bin/patch.sh "still stages libsodium into the payload exactly as it
  did and `make build` is untouched". None of that survived the migration.

  The -maxdepth 1 comment had been wedged between `# shellcheck disable` and
  the command it applies to.

  Eleven "bin/patch.sh stages ..." references across pkgs/, test/ and qa/
  described a script that stages nothing now.

Payload bytes unchanged except S40s6, whose comment was one of the eleven.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 51f524b5cf Merge worktree-comment-cleanup
The branch tightens comments across the tree -- removing the ones that
explained the code's past rather than the code. It branched before both the
pkg/ -> pkgs/ rename and the migration of bin/patch.sh onto the feed, so most
of its conflicts were with text describing code that has since moved or gone.

Resolved by taking its brevity and correcting what it could not have known:

  bin/patch.sh   ours, entirely. Its only non-comment change there deletes a
                 trailing comment from a line this branch rewrote, and every
                 comment it edits annotates one of the eight staging sections
                 that no longer exist.
  bin/fetch-assets.sh  ours. Theirs reinstates a KLIPPER_FORK condition; that
                 knob was deleted with the move to pkgs/ -- a recipe names its
                 source exactly once.
  pkgs/lib.sh    theirs, except the two hunks where our side carries code it
                 never saw (pkg_payload_hash and pkg_dir; the PKG_CC_SHARED
                 branch of pkg_build). Its prose, our functions.
  bin/common.sh  theirs throughout, with pkg/ -> pkgs/ and $MOD_PAYLOAD ->
                 $PAYLOAD_DIR, and minus its claim that the toolchain is used
                 "by bin/patch.sh for Klipper's c_helper.so" -- patch.sh
                 compiles nothing now.
  pkg/anvil-core/build.sh  deleted. The file is pkgs/anvil-core/build.sh and
                 was rewritten as a loop; its comments are superseded.

Two of its deletions were right about things this branch had wrong:

  bzip2 named a pkg_make verb that was retired into pkg_build.

  zlib claimed a ./configure line of its own as "the one sanctioned
  exception". It has not had one since PKG_CONFIGURE_AUTO=0 and CHOST; the
  rule in qa/static/test_ipk.py is absolute, and its docstring says so. I had
  kept that paragraph in an earlier pass of this merge and was wrong to.

Three stale hints in the Makefile went with them: work/pkg is filled by
`make packages`, not by bin/patch.sh, in the two gate targets and one error
message.

Verified: the payload rebuilds to the same 31 packages and 154 ELF objects,
and the six files whose bytes changed are five payload scripts this branch
comment-edited (zero non-comment lines between them) plus the opkg status
file, which records their sizes. qa-static 259; make test 9 gates, 0 failed.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 8b50ccd930 Every file in the payload should name the package that put it there
Four tests for the properties the migration rests on, two of them asked of the
assembled payload rather than of the scripts that assemble it.

test_every_payload_file_is_owned_by_a_package walks work/modpayload-root and
checks each path against opkg's own record of what it installed. The pass is
not the interesting part -- the allowlist is. It is the complete set of files
that are in the payload and in no package:

    .install-manifest            generated after everything else, because it
                                 describes the payload
    anvil.conf                   templated from config.env, preserved across
                                 updates -- a package member is overwritten on
                                 every upgrade by definition
    config/moonraker-custom.conf created once, never overwritten
    bin/busybox                  optional, from config.env, gated on its own
    var, var/lib, var/run        opkg's own scaffolding

Six entries and three of them are opkg's. That list is the remaining to-do
for phase 2 of docs/notes/85-packaging.md; it should shrink and must not grow
by accident. Proven by dropping a file into $MODDIR/bin and watching it fail
by name.

test_the_payload_database_has_no_clock_in_it asks the status file whether
every Installed-Time is the same value. opkg takes it from time() and ignores
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, so before bin/patch.sh normalised it two builds of one
commit differed by one line per package. It asks the database rather than the
tarball because anvil.tar.xz is not reproducible yet for unrelated reasons --
bin/pack.sh's tar neither sorts nor clamps -- and this is the part that
regressed and is fixed.

test_the_host_opkg_is_built_for_the_prefix guards the two flags that fail
silently: --prefix=$MODDIR (opkg bakes its state directory in at compile time,
so any other prefix writes a database nothing reads) and --disable-shared (the
prefix is in libopkg too). pkg_buildopkg checks its own output for both; this
checks it still asks, since that check is only reachable if the build gets
that far.

test_ipk_install_is_not_on_the_build_path keeps the printer's hand-repair
installer off it.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 e3d1bdcdf7 The payload is the feed installed, not the build trees copied
bin/patch.sh ran every recipe and then cp -a'd its build tree into
work/modpayload. Eight sections of it, each a second description of what the
.ipk that recipe produces already contains -- the same duplication the recipes
themselves removed one level down, one level further up.

It now installs the feed. pkg_buildopkg's x86-64 opkg gets one invocation with
the whole selected set and an --offline-root, and what lands there is the
payload. "What does this release install?" is answerable with
`opkg list-installed` against the payload itself, and the tarball and the
package cannot describe different bytes because the tarball is made of the
package.

THE SET COMES FROM pkg_recipes, which is already PKG_WHEN-gated -- so
BUILD_HELIX, BUILD_MAINSAIL, BUILD_MOONRAKER, BUILD_TOOLCHANGE and
BUILD_KLIPPER are read in the pkg.conf that owns each and nowhere else,
instead of being restated by an `if` here that could drift from it.

-dev IS FILTERED BY PACKAGE NAME, and the first attempt got this wrong in a
way worth recording. execline, s6 and CPython ship both halves and pkg_ipk
names the runtime one; zlib, openssl, sqlite, expat, libffi, xz, bzip2,
libarchive and skalibs ship ONLY a dev package and say so by setting
PKG_NAME=anvil-<x>-dev outright. Asking "does this recipe have a runtime half"
installed all nine: 40 packages and 2165 ELF objects where there should be 31
and 154.

--force-postinstall, because opkg skips configuration under an offline root
and would leave every package Status: unpacked. Nothing runs opkg on the
printer after run-append.sh extracts the tarball -- the extraction IS the
install -- so a database saying otherwise would make the first real `opkg
upgrade` argue with the filesystem. It runs nothing today: no recipe defines a
maintainer script, and opkg 0.7.0 would not run one here anyway (it sets no
IPKG_INSTROOT; see libopkg/pkg.c:1339).

Installed-Time is normalised afterwards. opkg takes it from the clock and
honours SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH only for a man-page date, so two builds of one
commit differed by one line per package -- measured, then fixed, then measured
again.

Gone with the staging: the hand-written PKG_DEV_FILES prune (the dev half is
not installed, so bin/verify.sh's "no headers" check now passes because they
were never there), three partial ABI gates in favour of one over the finished
payload, and the last pkg_out call -- section 1 reads klippy out of the
installed anvil-klipper.

The payload gains anvil-klipper's tree at $MODDIR/klipper and bin/opkg. The
first is inert until phase 7 of docs/notes/80-s6-migration.md and is 2.4MB of
duplicate until then; the second is route 1 of the bootstrap in
docs/notes/85-packaging.md -- the first payload that can install its own
successor.

VERIFIED by building the payload from the parent commit and from this one, on
the synthetic stock fixture with the real vendored assets:

  files removed                                    0

  added        klipper/**, var/lib/opkg/** (63), bin/opkg, and the
               www/mainsail/.version the previous commit stopped deleting
  two builds in a row                              byte-identical

bin/verify.sh passes every check including the ship boundary; qa-static 255;
make test 9 gates, 0 failed; test-py 181.

test/run-tests.py builds the feed as the first step of the fixture lane, into
a PKG_FEED of its own -- sharing work/packages let the MOD_VER=ci build rename
every dated package and the prune delete the rest on the way past, measured as
44 becoming 43.

qa/static/test_ipk.py's share-one-build test is inverted rather than deleted:
the property was "one build, two vehicles" and is now "one vehicle", so what
it asserts is that nobody reintroduces the second path -- no recipe run from
patch.sh, no pkg_out, no work/pkg, and opkg rather than pkgs/ipk-install,
which stays the printer's hand-repair tool.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 dff6fe3198 anvil-core was holding four other components' configuration
It held all of it for one reason: it was the first recipe written, so
everything of ours started there. With the files visible per recipe the
misfilings read straight off the tree.

    moonraker.conf              -> pkgs/moonraker, with the server it configures
    ff-*.cfg, printer.base.cfg  -> pkgs/klipper-config (new)
    printer.chamber.cfg         -> pkgs/klipper-creator5-config and
                                   pkgs/klipper-creator5pro-config (new)

PRINTER.BASE.CFG WAS IN pkgs/klipper AND THAT WAS WRONG TWICE. It is Klipper
CONFIG rather than any part of the Klipper program -- it is the file carrying
[include ff-toolchange.cfg] and [include printer.chamber.cfg], so it is the
entry point to everything in the config package -- and pkgs/klipper is gated
on BUILD_KLIPPER while this file is installed under BUILD_TOOLCHANGE. A
BUILD_KLIPPER=stock build has no pkgs/klipper recipe at all and was still
reaching into its prog/ directory for a file.

THE ff-*.cfg ARE NOT IN pkgs/klipper EITHER, for the same gate: ask for
BUILD_KLIPPER=stock and that recipe does not exist, and the toolchanger would
have become a silent casualty of a flag about which klippy is shipped.
FlashForge's own klippy loads ff_*.py and reads these .cfg perfectly well.
They travel with the feature they configure and the feature's flag is
BUILD_TOOLCHANGE.

THE MODEL IS A PACKAGE NAME NOW, not a build flag. printer.chamber.cfg.creator5
and .creator5pro used to be picked by patch.sh from TARGET_MACHINE and copied
under their real name, which made the model a property of the BUILD: two
builds of one commit produced different bytes under one version number, and
nothing in the feed or on the printer recorded which machine a package was
for. Both are built on every build; patch.sh stages the one this tarball is
for. This is the feed's first use of Provides/Conflicts, both on a virtual
anvil-klipper-chamber-config -- Provides so anvil-klipper-config can depend on
"a chamber config" and either satisfies it, Conflicts so a printer cannot
install both and have two packages own one path with opkg letting whichever
unpacked last win. Neither field alone expresses "exactly one", and
printer.base.cfg's [include printer.chamber.cfg] is unconditional, so "none"
is a printer whose klippy does not start.

printer.chamber.cfg also CHANGED WHERE IT LANDS: $MODDIR/config, like the
ff-*.cfg, instead of riding the software component to /usr/prog and reaching
/usr/data/config only because the stock run.sh copies that whole directory.
run-append.sh overwrites it on the same mod-owned terms, and by this repo's
own rule -- files the update overwrites must say so -- it now carries the
DO NOT EDIT banner the ff-*.cfg have always had. test_config_ownership.py is
what demanded that, which is what it is for.

TWO FLAGS BECAME HONEST, and both are behaviour changes:

  * BUILD_TOOLCHANGE=0 shipped the toolchanger's .cfg anyway, because they
    rode in anvil-core while everything else the flag controls was gated.
    It no longer does.
  * BUILD_MOONRAKER=0 overwrote the printer's moonraker.conf with one written
    for a server it was not going to install -- [webcam anvil] and all. It no
    longer does, which is what docs/building.md already said the flag meant.

WHAT DELIBERATELY DID NOT MOVE. init.d/ and etc/s6/ look like they belong to
the services they start, and moving them would brick a printer: those services
are gated at RUNTIME by flags in anvil.conf, while the packages that would own
the scripts are gated at BUILD time. A BUILD_KLIPPER=stock tarball has no
anvil-klipper package, so it would carry no S70klipper and nothing would start
Klipper at all. The script that reads a flag must not sit behind a second,
different flag. nginx.conf stays for a plainer reason: nginx is the rootfs's
binary and there is no package here to give it to.

Measured:
  * 44 packages (41 + three config packages), feed builds clean.
  * anvil-moonraker carries config/moonraker.conf; anvil-klipper-config the
    seven ff-*.cfg; each model package one printer.chamber.cfg. Checked by
    listing the built .ipk, which is how the first attempt was caught staging
    moonraker.conf and never shipping it -- pkg_ship takes an explicit list.
  * make test: 8 passed, 0 failed, including unpack/patch/pack/verify.
  * bin/verify.sh gained two gates over the payload -- a chamber config and
    the ff-*.cfg -- and BOTH WERE PROVEN BY BREAKING THE BUILD: deleting the
    staging line fails patch.sh's own check, and bypassing that too fails
    verify with "mod payload has no config/printer.chamber.cfg". Which is
    also the proof that a normal build carries them.
  * make qa-static: 256 passed. make test-py: 181 passed.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 f67e7a269f ls pkg/ was thirty-eight entries and four of them mattered
pkg/ -> pkgs/, and the thirty-four recipes that build a pinned tarball and
carry no files of this repo move down a level into pkgs/3rdparty/. What is
left at the top is the four components a person actually edits: anvil-core,
klipper, moonraker, helixscreen.

THE LINE IS MECHANICAL, NOT EDITORIAL, and that is why it can be a directory
rather than a field in pkg.conf. "Do we actively modify it" drifts -- the day
somebody patches zlib nobody would agree which side it belongs on, and the
answer would be a rename touching CI and docs decided by taste. "Does it carry
files of ours" is a fact about the tree: it is exactly whether the recipe has
a payload/, prog/ or seed/, checkable in one assertion, and
test_recipe_layout.py now demands the move in both directions -- a 3rdparty
recipe that grows one of the three must come up, and a top-level recipe with
none of them must go down, or the top level slowly refills and the split stops
meaning anything.

ONE FUNCTION KNOWS THE TWO DEPTHS. pkgs/lib.sh's pkg_dir resolves a recipe id
to its directory and nothing else spells either path -- not a recipe, not
bin/build-packages.sh, not a test. Names stay unique across both levels
because pkg_out, pkg_stamp and the .ipk filename are all keyed by the bare
name; a duplicate would resolve to whichever level is searched first and
build the wrong thing silently, so that is a test too.

Recipes now source `. ./bin/common.sh` instead of counting `..` from $0.
Depth-counting would have needed two spellings for two levels, and it was
never buying anything: `. pkg/lib.sh` on the next line already required the
working directory to be the repo root.

A SECOND SILENT-SHRINK BUG, and this one was live. qa/static's _files()
expanded a list of globs and returned whatever matched, so "pkgs/*/build.sh"
quietly stopped covering thirty-four recipes the moment they moved -- the lane
stayed green, and the only visible sign was a test count dropping by 34 in a
run nobody was counting. _files() now refuses a pattern that matches nothing.
That is the same failure the ash-compatibility check had a guard for and the
syntax check did not, which is why the guard reads the way it does.

AND ONE PACKAGE WAS SHIPPING PYTHON BYTECODE. anvil-core stages a directory of
.py helpers wholesale, so any test that imported one left a __pycache__ beside
it -- gitignored, invisible in a diff, copied by cp -a like anything else. The
package's contents depended on whether pytest had been run on the machine that
built it: two builds of one commit, different sha256, cause nowhere in the
tree. What it shipped was worthless as well as unstable, compiled by the build
image's python 3.11 for a printer running the 3.13 this repo cross-builds. The
sweep is in pkg_ship now, once, and the two hand-written copies in
pkgs/klipper and pkgs/moonraker are deleted -- the trap is set for any recipe
that stages a tree of .py files, and the two recipes that had hit it had each
solved it locally while the third, which had not, was the one shipping.

Measured:
  * the rename changes no package bytes. Same cached build trees, feed built
    with the diff stashed and unstashed: all 41 .ipk match.
  * with the bytecode sweep, anvil-core returns to exactly the bytes the
    previous commit produced.
  * no package in the feed contains a .pyc or a __pycache__.
  * make qa-static: 247 passed (236 before this work + 11 layout tests).
  * make test: 8 passed, 0 failed, including unpack/patch/pack/verify on the
    synthetic stock package. make test-py: 181 passed.

Not explained: anvil-python-dev produced two different sha256 from an
UNCHANGED work/pkg/python at two points today, under code that was identical
both times -- so it is not reproducible from a cached tree, and it is not this
commit's doing (the stashed and unstashed builds above agree on it). Worth a
look; the dev split in bin/build-packages.sh is where to start.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 54a1e72cc4 A file that ships belongs to a package, and the path should say which
payload/ was organised by DESTINATION -- init.d/, bin/, etc/s6/,
klipper/config/ -- plus an assets/ directory of three .conf files. That was
right when there was one owner. With 38 recipes it held three different kinds
of file behind identical-looking paths:

  * files a recipe stages into its .ipk,
  * files that go to /usr/prog and CANNOT be in a package of ours, because
    every path in one lands under $MODDIR,
  * files that never ship as files at all -- run-pre.sh and run-append.sh are
    spliced into FlashForge's own run.sh at build time.

The only thing recording which package owned any of it was a thirty-line
comment at the top of pkg/anvil-core/build.sh. A comment cannot be checked.

Files now live with the recipe that owns them, and the subtree says how they
ship: payload/ is staged into the .ipk laid out exactly as it lands under
$MODDIR, prog/ is placed on /usr/prog by patch.sh, seed/ is templated or
seeded user state. installer/ sits outside pkg/ and holds the two files that
are never files on a printer. qa/static/test_recipe_layout.py fails if a
fourth kind of directory appears, which is the failure this is actually for:
a misfiled file is caught by a build, an unruled directory is caught by
nothing.

anvil-core's recipe is a loop over a directory now. Six pkg_stage lines with
hand-written destinations plus a glob became one loop, because payload/ IS the
overlay -- a file added to that tree ships without an edit to build.sh.

A REAL BUG FELL OUT. anvil-core's PKG_STAMP_EXTRA was an eight-path list
naming payload/ and assets/ subtrees by hand, and one of those paths was
payload/helixscreen/ -- HelixScreen's printer-database entry, hashed into the
cache key of the package that does NOT contain it. Editing that json rebuilt
anvil-core and left pkg/helixscreen sitting in the cache. pkg_payload_hash is
now the one way a recipe keys its own files and it can only hash its own.

WHAT ELSE MOVED, and why each is not where it looks like it should be:
  * ff-*.cfg stay with anvil-core rather than pkg/klipper. They are the
    package that has always shipped them; ownership moves in the next commit,
    with the two model-config packages. This one is a move, not a repackaging.
  * printer.base.cfg is pkg/klipper's prog/, not payload/: it is FlashForge's
    file with one block replaced and it lands beside their Klipper tree.
  * moonraker.conf is anvil-core's for now; moonraker-custom.conf is
    pkg/moonraker's seed/, because it is the user's and a package member is
    overwritten on every upgrade by definition.

The cfgdir fixture is a merged copy of both config directories rather than a
path into the checkout. The split is a fact about which package ships what --
on the printer there is no split, the stock run.sh force-copies
printer.base.cfg into /usr/data/config/ beside the ff-*.cfg, which is why its
includes are bare and relative. A test about include resolution has to model
where files END UP or it is testing the repository's filing system.

qa/lib/replica.py's one payload mount is three, and entrypoint.sh reassembles
/tmp/payload out of them byte-for-byte as it was. Not re-pointed: every
case-*.sh copies out of /tmp/payload with 2>/dev/null, so a path that stops
resolving does not fail -- it copies nothing and the case runs green against
an empty $MODDIR.

Measured:
  * all 41 .ipk byte-identical. anvil-core and helixscreen were rebuilt from
    HEAD and from this tree and compared directly; the other 39 match the
    feed built before the move.
  * that comparison caught a mistake in this commit: the HelixScreen json was
    mirrored one directory too high (helixscreen/printer_database.d/ instead
    of helixscreen/config/printer_database.d/). A move that changes no bytes
    is only a claim until it is diffed.
  * anvil-core: two cold builds byte-identical.
  * make test: 8 passed, 0 failed -- including unpack/patch/pack/verify on the
    synthetic stock package, which is the gate that covers patch.sh end to end.
  * make qa-static: 244 passed (236 + 8 new). make test-py: 181 passed.

Known gap, pre-existing and left alone: pkg/*/payload/bin/*.sh is in no ash
glob, so wifi-action.sh's dialect is unchecked. The old glob was payload/*.sh,
one level above it, so this is not a regression -- it belongs with the fix.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 09a9f868e3 klippy compiles c_helper.so at first run, and this printer has no compiler
So the "build system" for that .so genuinely is one gcc line -- the argument
list in klippy/chelper/__init__.py -- and pkg_build could not express it,
because it always ran make. That is why Klipper was the last cross-build
still living in bin/patch.sh, which unpacked the Ingenic toolchain into
work/.mips-toolchain, wrote its own gcc invocation, cached on an mtime
comparison and gated the result itself: every one of the things pkg/lib.sh
exists to do once.

PKG_CC_SHARED is that line, appended to `$CC -shared -fPIC`. A knob and not
a verb, for the reason pkg_build's own header gives about the three
mechanisms with one user each: the recipe says WHAT to link, pkg_build owns
HOW, and -EL -mnan=2008 stay spelled once in pkg_toolchain where the wrapper
is gated before anything is built on it.

  pkg/klipper -> anvil-klipper_0.13.0+gitb722a4c8-1_mipsel_xburst2.ipk

Both gates moved into the recipe, next to the ship list they check -- the
same move the s6 presence checks made. They now run on `make packages` too,
so a c_helper.so that is not nan2008, or one missing a symbol the klippy
beside it cdefs, fails the build that produced the .ipk rather than only a
full firmware build. The symbol gate is the one that matters: cffi resolves
lazily, so a stale .so imports cleanly and dies at connect on the printer.

KLIPPER_FORK is gone. It pointed the build at a local checkout instead of
the pin, which is a second source for a recipe allowed exactly one -- and it
is the same variable that let v20260824-nova-kakhovka ship a klippy tree
nobody had built, set to "" in CI. To build your own fork, put its tarball
in vendor/ and re-pin KLIPPER_VERSION and KLIPPER_SHA256; the sha is then
the guarantee every other source in this repo carries. bin/fetch-assets.sh
loses two of its conditions with it, and test/test-chelper.py loses the
config.env fallback that printed "SKIP: no KLIPPER_FORK configured" -- a
green line for a check that had not run.

bin/patch.sh section 1 is now staging and nothing else: a cp -a into the
SOFTWARE component, where the stock klipperDaemon looks, plus the
chelper.tar its run.sh extracts. That tar stays out of the .ipk, where it
would be a second copy of a file the package already contains. The package
installs the tree under $MODDIR/klipper, inert until phase 7 of
docs/notes/80-s6-migration.md makes the installed copy the live one -- at
which point these lines are deleted rather than moved.

Measured:
  * two cold builds of pkg/klipper byte-identical, work/pkg deleted between
  * c_helper.so is 0x70001407 -- nan2008, o32, mips32r2
  * all 66 functions klippy declares are exported, checked after pkg_ship
    strips rather than before
  * the whole feed still builds: 38 recipes, 41 packages
  * 236 static tests, including the staged-recipe list that now names klipper
  * BUILD_KLIPPER=stock removes the recipe from pkg_recipes entirely

Not verified here: bin/patch.sh end to end. It needs the stock FlashForge
package, which the packaging lane deliberately does without; bin/verify.sh's
klippy-tree and chelper.tar assertions are what cover the staging rewrite.

Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 de3e369f07 Comments that explained the code's past, not the code
Across 46 files the comments had accumulated a second job: narrating what
each mechanism replaced. Some of that narration outlived what it described,
which is worse than verbose -- it is wrong.

Removed, because the thing referenced is gone:
  - pkg/lib.sh's example recipe called pkg_autotools, and pkg/bzip2 pointed
    at pkg_make for the shape it uses. qa/static/test_ipk.py asserts both
    names stay deleted.
  - bin/common.sh explained S6_STAMP, PY_BUILD and PY_STAMP at length. None
    of the three is defined anywhere; mips_abi_gate still said it walked
    $PY_BUILD, and that section 5b cross-builds with a musl toolchain that
    left with the second libc.
  - pkg/lib.sh and bin/common.sh had section 5c carrying its own toolchain
    setup and CPython cross-build. It runs recipes and stages the output.
  - pkg/zlib's header claimed a ./configure carve-out enforced by name in
    test_ipk.py; the body sets PKG_CONFIGURE_AUTO=0 and the test permits no
    exceptions.
  - case-supervisor.sh was fed out of work/.s6, which is now three recipe
    outputs merged by the Makefile.

Shortened everywhere else to the logic that is actually hard: the -mnan=2008
driver baking, exporting CC because OpenSSL reads it where autoconf reads
--host, the ar/ranlib determinism split and why the cross ranlib cannot do
it, the sysconfig cross trick, busybox start-stop-daemon returning before the
process is dead, and the manifest property an update has to keep. The
measurements stay; the archaeology goes.

No code changed. qa/static: 111 passed, unchanged from before.
