One cut, no dual path. Closes ALIGNMENT defect 3 ("Arduino-CLI build
machinery is actively hostile") and vision bullet 4.
platformio.ini carries 16 [env:], one per variant, each passing
-DMEMLNAUT_MODE_TYPE; selftest passes -DNISPS_SELFTEST=1 instead. The env list
IS the registry now — the .ino comment-registry and the NISPS_ST_* token-paste
table are deleted rather than migrated. L12 noted that table was already
silently missing the currently-shipped SLPWorkshop variant, which is the whole
argument against having a second list.
Also deleted: the Python/sed machinery that rewrote the COMMITTED .ino on every
build, the sketch symlink forest, the global TFT_eSPI User_Setup.h mutation
(now -D flags — TFT_eSPI's own documented PlatformIO recipe), the UF2
boot-mount detection stack (upload_protocol=picotool talks to the bootloader
directly), and build-firmware-arch.sh entirely. Scripts 683 -> 435 lines.
memllib is vendored at lib/memllib/ from upstream e291192; no submodules
remain. VENDORED.md records provenance and the re-sync procedure.
S9: a firmware-build CI job compiles three representative envs against a cached
toolchain and reports per-variant flash/RAM. Firmware is in an automated gate
for the FIRST time. The old ci.yml comment justified excluding it as "low
verification value" — an assessment that did not survive contact, since the
SelfTest variant sat broken for an unknown period calling a DisplayDriver
method that did not exist at the pinned memllib commit, and nothing noticed
because nothing built it.
Verified: all 16 envs build from an empty cache, each within ~520 bytes of the
arduino-cli binary it replaces, flash and RAM. Measured as .text+.rodata /
.data+.bss+vector+uninitialized — NOT PlatformIO's console line, which
double-counts .data on this board. This does not prove the hardware boots; no
flash+smoke test was possible and that stays an operator chokepoint.
slpworkshop 248232/145028 pafsynth 256880/149716 selftest 216228/17960
(all 16 in the CI log format; none exceeds 2% of a 16 MB flash)
Two traps recorded so nobody rediscovers them: vendoring memllib's subdirs
without a src/ wrapper makes PlatformIO's library builder silently compile
NOTHING while still linking; and project build_flags land BEFORE the
framework's own -std=gnu++17 -Os, so build_unflags is required.
CORRECTION carried in this commit: the firmware sizes in c19d846's message and
the first version of the memllib recon doc were wrong — SLPWorkshop 145348,
PAFSynth 145300, SelfTest 141840. They came from building variants in sequence
through a SHARED incremental arduino-cli build directory, which reused stale
objects and under-reported by ~75 KB. Clean-cache rebuilds of the identical
commit give 216736/18492 for SelfTest. The real cost of the memllib upstream
bump is +216 bytes flash, not +316. Never measure firmware size through a
reused build dir.
HISTORY NOTE: this commit and the docs commit before it were rebuilt (force-push,
2026-07-21) so that each contains only what its message describes. The first
versions had the firmware deletions stranded in the docs commit by a shared-index
race between concurrent agents; content is byte-identical to the originals.
Gates: run-all-tests.sh ALL GREEN (nisps/ untouched by this change beyond
include paths); 16/16 pio envs build.
Phase 1 group 8 (S8, ST2, L14).
- S8: the vendored src/daisysp tree (96 files, 41 .cpp compiled into every
firmware build) and its sketch-tree symlink. Zero consumers — nisps replaced
daisysp's PitchShifter with a custom granular implementation. Corrected
firmware/README.md and setup-firmware-toolchain.sh, which called it a live
submodule. The attribution comment in nisps/dsp/pitch_shift.hpp stays: it is
an honest provenance note about a port, not a dependency.
Noted while verifying: src/memllib/examples/KassiaAudioApp includes
../../daisysp/..., but examples/ is not symlinked into the sketch tree and is
never compiled by the firmware build, so the deletion stands.
- ST2: input_router.hpp was a zero-logic speculative layer with one consumer;
the .ino now calls bind_peripherals directly.
- L14: peripherals.hpp — deleted kAnalogInputCount, PeripheralBindings and the
unused spread local, and extracted the duplicated commit-and-train block into
one helper. The audit's suggested commit_and_train(mode, feedback) signature
could NOT be behaviour-identical: repositioning() implies placing() (both
live in ExploreState::Placing), so dispatching on feedback state inside the
helper would silently reroute a TogB2 press mid-reposition from commit_place
to commit_reposition, which differs (no snapshot restore, clears
reposition_). Implemented as commit_and_train(mode, feedback, bool
reposition) with the branch decided at the call site, preserving behaviour.
Firmware is not compiled by any gate yet (that arrives with the PlatformIO
migration, plan §5/S9), so this group is verified by reading and grep only.
Gates: run-all-tests.sh ALL GREEN.
Map enter/exit-explore, reroll, nudge, begin-place, commit-place to the
peripheral buttons via the shared FeedbackController. (Not compiled here —
no arduino-cli; Placing-audition static_output hook is a flagged follow-up.)
