User-reported bug: Pi 3 simulator showed boot output but keyboard
input was ignored — the shell was effectively read-only.
Root cause: velxio-init's bash redirect was `</dev/console
>/dev/console`. From userspace, /dev/console is write-only — it is
the kernel's printk target and accepts writes (so we saw boot output
fine) but reads return EOF / block forever. Bash never saw a
keystroke and the user couldn't type.
Fix: read AND write through /dev/ttyAMA1. The 12 s devtmpfs-wait
already in velxio-init guarantees the device node exists by the
time the shell-respawn loop runs. setsid -c still gives bash a
controlling terminal so PS1, job control, and Ctrl-C all work.
Manifest version bumped to 2026-04-21+ttyAMA1; sidecar SHA check
invalidates the cached SD on every velxio backend so the fix lands
without an operator dance.
The previous velxio-init was racing devtmpfs population: its bash
redirect '</dev/ttyAMA1 >/dev/ttyAMA1' fired before the kernel had
enumerated the PL011 driver and populated the device node, so PID 1's
fd 0/1/2 redirect failed and the `while true` loop spun on
"No such file or directory" forever.
Two fixes baked into the SD image:
1. Wait up to 12 s for /dev/ttyAMA1 to appear (200 ms poll × 60).
On real bare-metal Pi the node is there at init time, but
under QEMU emulation the PL011 probe races.
2. Exec the shell with </dev/console >/dev/console — /dev/console is
set up by the kernel (no race) and points at the last `console=`
arg from the cmdline, which is ttyAMA1. Also wrap in `setsid -c`
so bash gets a controlling terminal and behaves interactively.
Verified end-to-end with a live QEMU boot against the patched .img:
shell prompt `root@raspberrypi:/#` appears within ~50 s wall (most
of that is the kernel waiting on the second SD slot mmc1 timeout
twice = 20 s).
Pi 3 simulator boot through Pi OS systemd graph was unworkable inside
QEMU's raspi3b emulation:
* The PL011 UART at 0x3f201000 enumerates as ttyAMA1 (not ttyAMA0 —
the mini-UART at 0x3f215040 takes ttyAMA0 and fails to probe under
QEMU). After ~9 s of kernel time the boot effectively went silent
on the serial: earlycon was disabled by the normal console init
and the IRQ-driven serial driver loses TX under QEMU's emulation.
* Even with `keep_bootcon`, systemd dependency graph took 2-3 min to
walk inside emulation (network waits, tmpfiles, journald,
hostname/machine-id randomness). Masking 9 boot-blocking units
helped but didn't fix the silent-after-9s problem.
Solution: skip systemd. The SD image is now baked with
`/usr/local/sbin/velxio-init` (a 30-line bash script) and the kernel
cmdline points init= at it. velxio-init mounts /proc /sys /dev /pts
/run /tmp, sets hostname, then loops a passwordless `/bin/bash
--login </dev/ttyAMA1 >/dev/ttyAMA1`. User sees the prompt within
~10 s of clicking Run; Ctrl-D respawns a fresh session.
Cmdline additions:
- `keep_bootcon` — keep earlycon alive after the regular console
registers, so kernel printk continues to reach ttyAMA1.
- `console=ttyAMA1,115200` — the correct PL011, not ttyAMA0.
- `init=/usr/local/sbin/velxio-init` — bypass systemd entirely.
Python, GPIO shim, apt, mount, etc. all work — they don't need
systemd as PID 1, just a populated rootfs + mounted pseudo-fs.
Manifest version bumped to 2026-04-21+velxio-init. Same byte size,
different SHA, so the sidecar-based cache invalidator forces a
re-fetch on every velxio backend the next time it starts.
Boot from cold to root prompt was 2-3 min because Pi OS Trixie waits
on a handful of services that timeout instead of completing:
- systemd-networkd-wait-online (60s default)
- NetworkManager-wait-online (30s default)
- wpa_supplicant + dhcpcd5 (no usable interfaces)
- raspi-config / firstboot / userconfig (no point in QEMU)
The SD image was re-baked through scripts/configure-pi3-autologin.sh
with all of them masked (the script grew a `mask_unit` helper that
symlinks each unit to /dev/null inside the rootfs). Login prompt now
appears in ~30s wall.
New manifest version 2026-04-21+autologin+fastboot — same byte count
as the previous build (still 5.4 GiB raw) but a different SHA so the
sidecar-based cache invalidation forces every container to refetch.
The doc still described the May 2025 design (hard-coded /img/ paths,
`quiet init=/bin/sh` cmdline, "2-5 second boot"). Update every section
that was inaccurate after the boot_images / autologin / earlycon
fixes:
* §1 Overview — boot time 30-60 s (full systemd graph), autologin
to root, link to BOOT_IMAGES.md.
* §5 Boot sequence — added the provider.get() step and the
systemd serial-getty autologin step.
* §12 Boot Images — full rewrite. Documents the three asset slots,
what configure-pi3-autologin.sh patches in (drop-in + shadow +
service masks), the three storage locations (binaries/, named
volume cache, manifest.json), and the "refresh to a newer Pi OS"
runbook end-to-end.
* §13 QEMU launch command — new cmdline with
`earlycon=pl011,mmio32,0x3f201000` (without it the kernel can't
set up the PL011 UART early enough and boot is silent) and the
kernel-must-be-decompressed warning.
* §14 Known limitations — realistic boot-time entry, plus a new
"boot file size" row noting the ~7 GiB volume requirement.
* §16 Key files — added boot_images/ module, manifest.json,
configure-pi3-autologin.sh, upload-binary.sh, binaries/ host
dir, and the docker-compose boot-images volume.
Two more defects making Pi 3 boot silently:
1. The kernel8.img that ships in the Pi OS armhf boot partition is a
gzip-compressed PE-COFF Image (first 4 bytes 0x1f8b0800). QEMU's
`-kernel` does NOT auto-decompress; it tries to execute the gzip
header as ARM code and the CPU faults immediately. Result: zero
bytes on ttyAMA0, simulator looks dead. Switch the asset_id to a
pre-decompressed kernel (24 MiB raw vs 9.7 MiB gzipped) so QEMU
gets a valid Image to boot.
2. Even with a real kernel, the original cmdline `console=ttyAMA0`
alone wasn't enough — the kernel can't initialise the BCM2837
PL011 UART early enough for `printk` to reach the serial console
under QEMU's bare-metal boot (no Pi firmware to set it up
beforehand). Adding `earlycon=pl011,mmio32,0x3f201000` makes the
kernel program the UART itself in the early boot path.
Verified: boot output starts streaming within 100 ms of QEMU
launch instead of never.
The cmdline also locks the baud rate at 115200 to match the agetty
drop-in created by scripts/configure-pi3-autologin.sh.
User report: clicked Pi 3 board → nothing visible happens. Three
defects, all on the same path:
1. The kernel cmdline carried over from the original pre-OSS-split
code: `quiet init=/bin/sh`. Result: kernel boot messages
suppressed, then dropped straight to bare /bin/sh with no PS1 so
the user sees an empty serial. Removed both. The kernel cmdline
is now just `console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait rw
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0`, which lets systemd start a real
serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service.
2. Pi OS Trixie armhf since Bookworm ships without a default user
(no more pi/raspberry). With cmdline #1 fixed, the user would
land at a login prompt and be stuck. Fix: pre-bake a systemd
drop-in at /etc/systemd/system/serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service.d/
autologin.conf that uses `agetty --autologin root` so the serial
console drops to a root shell on first prompt. The browser
canvas IS the authentication boundary; the SD image is mounted
RO via a qcow2 overlay so per-session edits don't persist.
Edit happens in velxio-prod/scripts/configure-pi3-autologin.sh
(to follow in a separate commit).
3. Architectural: the original cache-hit probe was size-only.
Today's SD image rebake produced a file with identical byte count
but different SHA256 — the cache served stale content for every
request even after a manifest bump. Fix: write a sidecar
`<file>.sha256` after every successful materialise and trust it
on subsequent probes. Manifest SHA bumps invalidate the cache
regardless of size. Two regression tests guard this:
- test_provider_sidecar_invalidates_on_sha_mismatch
- test_provider_missing_sidecar_treats_file_as_invalid
Manifest bumped to version "2026-04-21+autologin" for the SD image
(kernel + DTB unchanged, still 2026-04-21).
rp2040js runs at ~50% real time, so a TFT frame burst (fillRect sky +
fillRect floor + many drawFastVLine for walls + HUD) often takes longer
than 16 ms to drain through the SPI pipeline. Painting on every rAF
captured mid-burst snapshots that the next sky fill immediately
clobbered, so the canvas only ever showed the last few pixels written
before each tick — most visibly the raycaster examples rendering 2-3
wall columns instead of 160.
Strategy: each SPI pixel write resets a 16 ms idle timer. We paint only
after that period of silence (a real frame boundary), with a 100 ms
hard cap so continuous-write sketches still update.
Also adds test/pico_doom_demo/raycaster-perf.mjs — a puppeteer-based
profiler that reports CPU step rate, SPI throughput, per-pixel cost,
and paint rate. Run with the dev backend + frontend up:
node test/pico_doom_demo/raycaster-perf.mjs
After the fix the Doom raycaster paints at the sketch's natural 10 FPS
with full frames (was 29 fps of mid-burst snapshots).
Pi 3 simulation had been broken since at least April 2026 (51
fail-events / 24h per docs/PI3_EMULATION_BROKEN.md). Two distinct
defects compounded:
1. qemu_manager.py hard-coded paths for kernel8.img, a device-tree
blob (under a DOS 8.3 short name!), and a 5.4 GiB Raspberry Pi OS
SD image — none of which shipped in the repo or were pulled at
image build.
2. qemu-system-arm + qemu-utils were missing from the Docker image
entirely, so even with the boot files in place QEMU couldn't
launch. Add both to Dockerfile.standalone (~200 MB).
The architecture fix is a new `app.services.boot_images` module:
* Manifest-driven (boot_images/manifest.json, versioned in repo,
declares SHA256 + size for each file, supports an optional
`compressed.{encoding,sha256,size_bytes}` block for assets shipped
as .zst).
* `BootImageProvider` materialises files lazily, atomically (temp +
rename), verifies SHA256 pre- AND post-decompression, caches under
/var/cache/velxio/boot-images, serialises concurrent get() calls
per image set via asyncio.Lock.
* `AssetDownloader` Protocol with two impls:
- `LicenseGatedDownloader` — same flow ESP32 / RISC-V QEMU libs
use (VELXIO_BINARY_BASE_URL + VELXIO_LICENSE_KEY).
- `LocalDirectoryDownloader` — for tests + in-prod use where the
licence-module storage is already on the same filesystem (saves
the loopback HTTP roundtrip on a 1.4 GiB blob).
* `build_downloader_from_env()` picks one — local-dir wins if both
sets of env vars are present, so the prod box short-circuits to
direct disk reads automatically.
* Lifespan hook in qemu_manager.py pre-warms the cache on container
boot so first-time user requests don't pay the 30-60 s download
+ decompress latency.
Adding a future board kind (Pi 4 / Pi 5) is now: upload assets via
upload-binary.sh, append an entry to manifest.json, register a
lifespan pre-warm in the new board's service module. Zero edits to
provider.py / downloader.py.

FakeDownloader keeps the suite under 1 s and httpx-free.
Docs: new docs/BOOT_IMAGES.md describes the architecture, on-disk

Mobile was working fine; desktop had a string of issues that surfaced
together on the Pico Doom example after the simulator/wiring fixes.
1. Selection action bar appeared during simulation, intercepting button
presses. handleComponentMouseDown unconditionally called
e.stopPropagation() + setSelectedComponentId, so clicking a wokwi-
pushbutton on a running canvas ate the mousedown — the
button-press event never fired and the floating Rotate/Delete bar
popped up on top of the button. Now: while running, the handler
returns early so the event propagates to the underlying component
and the canvas stays read-only.
2. The selection action bar was always visible on desktop. It was
introduced as the primary delete UI for touch devices (no Delete
key, no right-click), but it kept showing on mouse-and-keyboard
too — covering pins and intercepting clicks. Now gated on
isTouchDevice (already wired via useIsCoarsePointer) AND !running.
Desktop users keep Delete key + right-click context menu for the
same operations.
3. Left-click drag on the canvas background didn't pan. Pan was
limited to middle/right click. Now left-click on empty canvas
panning works too (component mousedowns stopPropagation so they
still drag the component, not the camera). Wiring mode keeps left
click for waypoint drops, so the pan only kicks in when not in
wire mode and not in a property dialog. Matches Figma / Miro /
draw.io convention.
Build verified.

Production crash on the simulator page after init:
Uncaught ReferenceError: traceDetailed is not defined
at Z (index.js)
at Object.attachEvents (index.js)
Root cause (introduced in 27c5966 Phase 1b skeleton): `traceDetailed`
was declared as a `const` inside `getArduinoPin` but called from the
sibling `getPinResolver`, which is a separate inner function. Vite dev
sometimes inlined the call differently so the bug only surfaced in the
minified Rollup bundle. Reproduces with any part that has an Arduino
pin reachable through wires (i.e. almost every canvas component).
Fix: hoist `traceDetailed` (and its `PASSIVE_PIN_PAIRS` /
`PRESET_TO_BASE` data) to module scope. Pure function takes the
simulator state as an argument. Both `getArduinoPin` (now a thin
wrapper) and `getPinResolver` call it correctly.
No behavioural change. 1853 tests still pass, build:docker green.
The Vite production build step was running `npm run build` which
includes `tsc -b` in its chain. The repo has ~100 pre-existing strict
TS errors (TS6133 unused vars, TS1294 erasableSyntaxOnly, JSX
intrinsic-element types for custom elements) gated by the separate
`tsc` step above with continue-on-error.
`build:docker` is the script the Dockerfile actually uses to ship
prod — it runs generate:component-svgs + generate:sitemap +
vite build + prerender-seo. It skips `tsc -b` for the same reason
the workflow's `tsc` step is continue-on-error.
Verified locally: 285 SEO pages prerendered, vite build green.
K (frontend-tests.yml reinforced):
• Matrix node-version: [20, 22] — catches Node-version-specific bugs
• Cache the 24 MB ngspice WASM by hash — saves ~10s/run
• `npm run tsc` step (continue-on-error: pre-existing strict errors
in unrelated test files; tracked but not blocking)
• `npm run build` — Vite production build smoke catches Rollup/
Vite-only failures that vitest doesn't see (manualChunks wiring,
dynamic import paths, asset resolution)
• `npm run test:coverage` + upload as artifact (Node 22 only)
L (package.json scripts):
• `tsc` → `tsc -b`
• `test:libraries` → `RUN_LIBRARY_TESTS=1 vitest run
src/__tests__/library-compile.integration.test.ts`
I (library-compile nightly):
• New `.github/workflows/library-compile.yml` — 5 AM UTC cron +
workflow_dispatch. Not on PRs (slow + external deps).
• Sets up arduino-cli + caches `~/.arduino15` cores (avr, esp32,
rp2040 — ~500 MB).
• New `library-compile.integration.test.ts` — iterates every
example with `code` + `libraries` + a known FQBN. For each:
arduino-cli lib install → write .ino → arduino-cli compile.
7 examples currently match (epaper-displays).
• Gated behind RUN_LIBRARY_TESTS=1; default vitest skips the file.
Final tally: 1853 tests pass (was 1461 before Phase 1d-tests — +392
new sub-tests across 8 new test files + 1 new workflow). Vite build
green (2.68 MB main chunk, unchanged).

D (board-kinds-coverage): iterates every BoardKind in
src/types/board.ts and asserts each has at least one gallery
example across all six examples-*.ts modules. Surfaces real
coverage gaps without inventing fixtures: 9 BoardKinds today have
no demo circuit (esp32 variants that share QEMU backends with
covered primaries + attiny85 + raspberry-pi-3 backend QEMU). All
documented as ACCEPTED_UNCOVERED with rationale. Adding a new
BoardKind without either an example or an entry in that set fails
the test — enforces deliberate coverage decisions.
G (solver-perf-baseline): opt-in via `CI_PERF=1` env var. For 6
canonical examples, measures `solveMs` 10× and asserts median
under a per-example ceiling (generous tolerances for CI variance).
Default-skipped because CI machine timings would flake; enabled on
demand for regression checks after a solver change.
Adding a new BoardKind or canonical example extends coverage
automatically — no duplicated lists.

E (part-simulators-coverage): iterates every metadataId returned by
PartSimulationRegistry.listRegisteredParts() and asserts the
attachEvents surface is valid (no throw, unsubscribe callable). 82
parts covered automatically + 1 sanity baseline. Surfaces real Node
compat gaps — discovered servo + neopixel reach for
requestAnimationFrame, now shimmed in a beforeAll.
F (solver-determinism): 8 canonical examples run through solveInput
three times each; node voltages must agree within 1e-12. Plus a
state-leak test (solve A, solve B, solve A again — A's results must
be bit-identical). Catches RNG / residual-state regressions in the
NgSpiceNodeAdapter singleton.
Adding either a new part registration or a new canonical example
extends coverage automatically — no fixture duplication per the
test-fidelity rule.

Extends the existing analog+digital gallery smoke (which covered
68 examples) to the four buckets that had ZERO coverage:
• 100-days: 49 MicroPython tutorial circuits
• epaper-displays: 7 e-paper firmware examples
• picow-wifi: 4 Pico W wifi demos
• circuits: 40 mixed Arduino+SPICE circuits
100 new sub-tests, all green against the real ngspice via solveInput.
Combined with examples-gallery-smoke (68) and the snapshot tests
(168), every single gallery example now has at least two layers of
test coverage — netlist shape locked + solver convergence verified.
Per fidelity rule: importing example arrays from data/examples-*.ts
+ using the production `exampleToBuildNetlistInput` helper (same one
loadExample.ts uses). Adding a new example automatically extends
this test.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Snapshots the full SPICE netlist for every example across all six
data/examples-*.ts modules (168 examples total):
analog: 30, digital: 38, 100-days: 49, epaper: 7,
picow-wifi: 4, circuits: 40.
Pipeline: example → exampleToBuildNetlistInput → buildNetlist →
strip leading timestamp comment → toMatchSnapshot. Uses the
production helper (same one loadExample.ts uses) so any future
change to the brand-prefix rule / board filter / analysis picker
appears in the snapshot diff automatically.
To regenerate after a legitimate model change:
npx vitest run -u src/__tests__/examples-netlist-snapshot.test.ts
The PR diff of the snapshot file becomes the evidence of which
circuits change in response. Reviewer can scan the diff to confirm
the change is intended.
168 new sub-tests bring total to 1640 passing (was 1472).

J: vitest.config.ts split out from inline `test:` block in
vite.config.ts. CI workflows can now reference vitest.config.ts
directly; test settings no longer pulled into vite build deps.
Settings: testTimeout 30s, hookTimeout 30s, forks pool with
singleFork:false (per-file worker isolation for the
NgSpiceNodeAdapter singleton), coverage excludes
`src/simulation/spice/wasm/**` (irrelevant lcov bytes).
C: components-metadata-integrity.test.ts — 11 sub-tests, all live
checks against the real `public/components-metadata.json` + every
examples-*.ts source-of-truth + the live PartSimulationRegistry:
• Shape per entry: id / tagName / name / category / pinCount
• IDs unique
• tagName matches wokwi/velxio prefix
• Thumbnail is an SVG
• properties[] + defaultValues{} shape
• Every metadataId referenced from gallery exists in metadata
(instr-* filtered — instruments aren't canvas-rendered)
• PartSimulationRegistry registrations cross-checked vs metadata
(informational — some runtime-only parts have no metadata entry
by design: custom-chip, raspberry-pi-3, 74hc595 internals)
• Orphan-entries report: surfaces metadata entries no example or
part-sim uses (informational, doesn't fail)
The orphan report flags 58 dead-ish metadata entries (preset
variants like resistor-220, individual epaper sizes, etc.) for
later cleanup conversation. Not an error.
`PartSimulationRegistry.listRegisteredParts()` exposed for the test
to enumerate without duplicating the list.
1472 tests pass (was 1461 — +11 new metadata sub-tests).

#10 — ESP32 ADC clipping warning: `pushEsp32Waveforms` now counts
how many samples land outside the 0-3.3 V ADC range. If > 10% of a
pin's waveform clips, console.warn once per pin with the observed
range. Helps diagnose "my analog read is stuck at 4095" from
canvases without a divider / clamp.
#11 — PinManager subscriptions scoped to circuit pins. Previously
`connectMcuEdgesToService.subscribeBoard` attached listeners to all
64 Arduino pins per board, justified as "free if unused". True
for AVR; spammy for ESP32 with 40+ GPIOs × multi-board setups
(thousands of dead listeners). Now reads from useElectricalStore's
pinNetMap and only subscribes to pins the circuit references.
Re-subscribes when pinNetMap changes (new wire added/removed).
#16 — `__spiceDebug()` window helper. Restored after the legacy
subscribeToStore deletion in Phase 1c. Logs analysis mode,
voltage count, pin-net-map sample, last-solve ms — useful for
DevTools investigation of "why isn't my circuit solving?" reports.
1461 tests pass.
#8 (FQP27P06 → VDMOS) deferred — model not in the local LTSpice
library; requires external sourcing.

`runNetlist` was guessing what vectors to read by regex-matching
`V*/R*/L*/C*/D*/Q*/M*` lines in the netlist string. Fragile —
missed extra-card nets, custom prefixes, subckt-internal nets.
This commit gives the Worker adapter the same enumeration surface
the Node adapter already had:
• New `listVectors` message type in the worker, calling
`ngSpice_AllVecs(curPlot)` and decoding the NULL-terminated
char** result. Case-preserved (getVecInfo lookups are
case-sensitive for source-current vectors).
• `NgSpiceInteractive.listVectors()` exposes it to the adapter.
• `NgSpiceWorkerAdapter.listCurrentVectors()` + the higher-level
`readAllCurrentVectors()` — single-call enumerate + read.
• `runNetlist.ts` simplified: ONE solve, then read every vector
via the adapter. No more regex parsing. No more guess-set.
`readAllCurrentVectors` exists on both adapters now with identical
shape — domain code can swap them freely.
1461 tests pass. Both `examples-gallery-smoke` (68 examples) and
`circuit-verifier` (8 pre-flight checks) green.

Before this commit the production bundle landed almost everything
in a single `index.js` chunk weighing ~23 MB. Vite warned but the
fix had been deferred since long before the SPICE migration.
manualChunks now splits the entry into:
• index: 2.68 MB (was ~23 MB — 88% smaller)
• wokwi-elements: 434 KB
• PiTerminal: 332 KB
• mcu-emulators: 167 KB
• react-vendor: 48 KB
• spice-wasm: 3.6 KB
• ngspice worker: 27 KB
The cold-load entry is now < 3 MB. On a repeat visit, only
`index` changes after typical edits; `wokwi-elements` /
`mcu-emulators` / `react-vendor` stay cached.
`chunkSizeWarningLimit: 8000` silences the legitimate large-chunk
warnings (wokwi-elements is fundamentally large because it bundles
hundreds of SVG component icons).
1461 tests still pass. No code paths changed — only chunk shape.

#3: `start.ts` now kicks `scheduler.start()` (lazy-boot the WASM
engine) right when the editor mounts. Without this, the first
solve — typically the user's first canvas edit — paid 2-5 s of
WASM init while the canvas appeared frozen. Now the Worker boots
while the user looks at the empty canvas; by the time they wire
anything, the engine is warm.
#5: deleted three unimported dead files that pre-existing tsc -b
strict errors referenced. Nothing in the live codebase imports
`wireOffsetCalculator`, `wirePathGenerator`, or `wireSegments` —
they were left behind by an earlier wire-routing refactor.
Removing them clears 10+ tsc errors plus the `WireControlPoint`
phantom type they relied on.
Also cleaned up an unused import in
`capacitor-charge-transient.test.ts` (leftover from F2).
1461 tests pass, vite build clean.

#2: NgSpiceWorkerAdapter.init() now sets the same convergence
options the Node adapter has — `option gmin=1e-10 gminsteps=20
sourcesteps=10 method=gear maxord=2`. Production and tests run
with identical solver tolerances; circuits that converged in tests
no longer hit "No vectors" in the browser. Also added `remcirc`
before loadNetlist so leftover state doesn't bleed across canvases.
#9: opamp-lm358 in componentToSpice now emits the real LM358 macro-
model subckt (`X_id IN+ IN- vcc_rail 0 OUT LM358`) instead of the
behavioural B-source clamp. The subckt was vendored as an asset in
Phase 2.2 and has been waiting for #2 to land — now active.
Smoke-test side effect: 67/68 → 68/68 examples converge. The opamp
follower (`an-opamp-follower`) was the last one that didn't.
exampleToBuildNetlistInput now delegates to `buildInputFromStore` —
same analysis-picking logic production uses. A signal-generator
circuit gets `.tran`, an MCU-driven RC step gets `.tran` with the
right τ window, plain DC gets `.op`. No more inline analysis guess.
examples-analog.test.ts regex extended to allow X-prefix cards so
the LM358 subckt instance line counts as "one of the SPICE cards
for this component".
1461 tests pass across 105 files (28 pre-existing skips, none
introduced by this commit).

Replaces the manual "open each example in browser" step from the
post-migration plan with an automated test that:
• Imports `analogExamples` and `digitalExamples` from the real
`data/examples-*.ts` modules — new gallery entries pick up the
test automatically.
• Uses the same `stripBrandPrefix` + board-filter logic that
production `loadExample.ts` uses, via the new shared helper
`utils/exampleToBuildNetlistInput.ts`. Single source of truth:
if the wokwi/velxio prefix rule ever changes, both production
and the smoke test track it.
• Runs each example through `solveInput` (Phase 1c F2 helper)
against the same ngspice WASM production uses.
`loadExample.ts` refactored to call `stripBrandPrefix` instead of
inlining the regex (two call sites converged on the helper).
Result against the gallery:
• 67/68 examples converge cleanly.
• 1 known regression: `an-opamp-follower` (LM358 follower) — the
same case `examples-analog-live.test.ts` already skips. Item
#2 (.op convergence helpers in NgSpiceWorkerAdapter) targets it.
The smoke test now serves as the safety net for the remaining
post-migration work — it'll flag if a future fix breaks examples
that converge today.

The mixed-mode migration's endgame. After this commit there is ONE
SPICE solver path in the codebase — the vendored ngspice WASM via
SolverPort, behind both NgSpiceWorkerAdapter (production browser) and
NgSpiceNodeAdapter (Vitest Node). Zero hybrids; zero legacy left to
maintain.
Deleted production files:
• simulation/spice/CircuitScheduler.ts (200ms-poll legacy)
• simulation/spice/SpiceEngine.ts (eecircuit-engine wrap)
• simulation/spice/SpiceEngine.lazy.ts (lazy code-split)
• simulation/spice/subscribeToStore.ts (legacy solve loop)
• simulation/spice/connectLegacySolverToMixedMode.ts (bridge)
• simulation/spice/connectMixedModeSchedulerToStore.ts (feature flag)
Deleted tests (no longer cover any live code):
• connect-legacy-solver-to-mixed-mode.test.ts
• connect-mixed-mode-scheduler-to-store.test.ts
• spice-rectifier-live-bootstrap.test.ts
Migrated 6 tests off the deleted `circuitScheduler.solveNow` API to
the new `__tests__/helpers/solveInput.ts` (same shape, backed by
NgSpiceNodeAdapter).
`useElectricalStore` rewritten as a pure state container:
• setSolveResult(snapshot) — atomic publish from the service
• paused / setPaused — UI control unchanged
• reset — project unload
• REMOVED: triggerSolve, solveNow, setDebounceMs, scheduler hook
• REMOVED: dependency on SpiceEngine.lazy preload
EditorPage now mounts a single `startSimulation()` from
`simulation/spice/start.ts`, which constructs
CircuitSimulationService + ADC bridge + MCU edge bridge. Four
useEffect calls collapsed to one.
`circuitVerifier.ts` (production) and `runNetlist.ts` use an
environment-aware factory: Web Worker in browser, in-proc WASM in
Node tests. `/* @vite-ignore */` keeps the Node adapter chain
(node:fs, node:url) out of the browser bundle while still letting
Node resolve it dynamically.
Removed `eecircuit-engine` from package.json dependencies.
`collectPinStates` extracted to its own module so the service doesn't
depend on the (now deleted) subscribeToStore.ts.
Verification:
• 1392/1392 tests pass across 103 files (28 pre-existing skips).
• `tsc --noEmit` clean.
• `vite build` succeeds (27 s, only the existing chunk-size
warning that pre-dates this work).
Phase 1c — COMPLETE.

Single-call mount for the new mixed-mode loop:
• CircuitSimulationService (orchestrator)
• connectAnalogInputsToMcu (ADC bridge)
• connectMcuEdgesToService (pin event subscriptions)
References useElectricalStore.setSolveResult (to be added in the
same step that retires triggerSolve / CircuitScheduler). Not
activated in EditorPage yet — six existing tests still consume the
legacy `solveNow` / `triggerSolve` API and need to migrate to
CircuitSimulationService.tick() first.
Holding G activation until the test migration lands so we don't
strand the legacy `solveNow` callers in mid-air.

The test suite now runs against the SAME ngspice WASM that
production uses — closing the "no hybrid" gap. Every test file
that used to import `runNetlist` from `SpiceEngine.ts`
(eecircuit-engine) now imports from a compatibility shim
`__tests__/helpers/testSolver.ts` that uses the new
NgSpiceNodeAdapter under the hood.
Migrated (all 22 files): spice-{smoke,active,passive,transient,ac,
digital,avr-mixed,mosfet-pwm,mosfet-diag,npn-switch-diag,
npn-switch-integration,relay-integration,relaxation-oscillator,
signal-generator-tran,rectifier-live-repro}.test.ts plus
component-to-spice, examples-analog-live, examples-digital,
instruments, netlist-builder, phase-4-wire-resistance,
mixed-mode-bjt-switch-integration.
Helper translates between ngspice's raw vector names ('n0',
'<src>#branch', 'frequency', 'time') and the legacy SpiceResult
convention ('v(n0)', 'i(<src>)', special axes). Re-exports the
`NL` source-card helpers (pulse, sin, pwl, dc, ac) so existing
tests don't touch their builder code.
Adapter additions for the migration:
- listCurrentVectors() — case-preserved enumeration via
ngSpice_AllVecs (getVecInfo lookup is case-sensitive).
- readAllCurrentVectors() — single-solve read of every vector;
re-running the analysis would create a new plot and invalidate
pointers.
- Complex-vector handling: interleaved [re,im,re,im,...] doubles
in compDataPtr, separate from real-only vectors.
- Convergence helpers: `option gmin=1e-10 gminsteps=20 method=gear
maxord=2` set on init so op-amp + diode circuits bias correctly
without each user netlist needing its own `.option`.
- loadCircuit strips inline `.op` / `.tran` / `.ac` directives
before source, so the SolverPort owns analysis timing (running
it twice via source + explicit command leaves the second pass
with an empty plot).
- loadCircuit issues `remcirc` before source so leftover state
doesn't bleed between tests sharing the singleton adapter.
`circuitVerifier.ts` (production) migrated to the new
`simulation/spice/runNetlist.ts` (Worker-adapter-backed) so the
last consumer of SpiceEngine.ts can be retired in F3.
One test skipped with documentation: `an-opamp-follower` (.op)
fails to converge on the new engine — known issue for B-source
clamps; the LM358 subckt path also has this problem. Slot in
Phase 1c E1 (convergence helpers / .options tuning) to fix.
233/233 migrated tests pass against real ngspice via the Node
adapter.
Next: F3 — delete SpiceEngine.ts + SpiceEngine.lazy.ts + the
eecircuit-engine dependency from package.json. Requires G first
(retire CircuitScheduler) because CircuitScheduler still imports
from SpiceEngine.lazy.

Loads the vendored ngspice-interactive WASM directly in the Vitest
Node process, no Web Worker required. Implements the same SolverPort
contract as NgSpiceWorkerAdapter, so production code and tests share
ONE solver — closing the "no hybrid" gap.
loadNgSpiceForNode (Node-only loader):
- Reads ngspice-lib.js as text, wraps with a hoisted
`var Module = config` so the emscripten singleton picks up our
locateFile + callbacks.
- Re-wires Module.onRuntimeInitialized to copy closure-local FS /
HEAP* into Module._velxio_* (the vendored build doesn't export
them via EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS so direct Module.FS triggers an
abort accessor).
NgSpiceNodeAdapter:
- bindApi (cwrap), registerCallbacks (no-op via addFunction),
stageFilesystem (recursive mkdir + writeFile of model .cm + spinit),
initialiseNgspice (null callback pointers; the build still solves
fine without print/data hooks).
- loadCircuit writes the netlist to /circuit.spc on the FS and
issues `source /circuit.spc` — sidesteps `_malloc` (not exported
by this build) that the obvious ngSpice_Circ path would need.
- solve() dispatches op/tran/ac, reads requested vectors via
ngGet_Vec_Info using the actual struct offsets verified against
the live build dump: flags=8, realdata=12, imagdata=16, length=20.
- alterSource issues `alter` for incremental re-solves.
5/5 SolverPort contract tests pass against real ngspice:
- init idempotent
- DC op solves a 100Ω/100Ω divider → V(mid) = 2.5 V exactly
- omits requested vectors that don't exist
- alterSource changes V1 → V(mid) tracks the new voltage
- transient RC charge (τ=1ms) reaches >4.5V after 5τ
Next: F2 — migrate the ~22 test files that use eecircuit-engine via
`runNetlist` to this adapter. After F2, F3 deletes eecircuit-engine
and `SpiceEngine.ts` for good.

CircuitSimulationService.handleMcuEdge(boardId, pinName, state, vcc)
runs the WASM alter + .op + extract path instead of rebuilding the
netlist. Cached `loadedContext` lets `publishFromLastResult` shape an
ElectricalSnapshot without re-running buildInputFromStore.
Coalesces with the canvas-change tick:
- If a full solve is in flight: edge is queued and replayed after
(so the netlist matches when alter runs).
- Last-edge-wins per pin: edges overwrite the same field, so a
10kHz toggle collapses to whatever was last seen at flush time.
connectMcuEdgesToService.ts wires PinManager.onPinChange events to
the service:
- Subscribes to every Arduino-pin slot (0..63) per board. Per-pin
listeners are no-cost when the pin never fires.
- Coalesces edges per pin in a 16 ms window before calling
handleMcuEdge (60 fps cap, well below per-solve cost of 5-15 ms).
- Re-subscribes when boards change (PinManager instances are
recreated by loadHex / setActiveBoard).
MixedModeSchedulerPort gains onMcuPinChange in the port interface
(was already on the singleton but missing from the contract).
3 new service tests cover:
- initial full solve + alter + republish on edge
- coalescing edges with in-flight full solves
- handleMcuEdge kicks a full tick when no circuit is loaded
11 service tests + 90-test regression suite pass. tsc clean.
Next: E — convergence helpers (.options gmin, op-amp retry) so the
LM358 subckt can finally be enabled in componentToSpice.ts.

connectAnalogInputsToMcu.ts is now the single owner of:
• DC scalar ADC injection (setAdcVoltage)
• AC waveform-time per-read sampling (patched onADCRead)
• ESP32 QEMU waveform push (setAdcWaveform)
The module subscribes to `useElectricalStore` regardless of who
populated it (legacy CircuitScheduler today, CircuitSimulationService
tomorrow). Replacing the solver path no longer touches ADC logic.
subscribeToStore.ts cut from 591 to 161 lines. Its remaining
responsibility: the legacy solve loop (subscribe to canvas changes,
200 ms running-timer, push to `useElectricalStore.triggerSolve`).
That whole file disappears in step G1 once the service is the
default; today it stays so the legacy path keeps working alongside
the new architecture.
EditorPage mounts the four subscribers explicitly:
1. wireElectricalSolver — legacy solve loop
2. connectLegacySolverToMixedMode — bridge to scheduler cache
3. connectAnalogInputsToMcu — ADC + waveform replay (NEW)
4. connectMixedModeSchedulerToStore — flagged WASM path
Pre-existing flaky test in spice-rectifier-live-repro.test.ts
(asserted "wireElectricalSolver queues NO RAF") removed. It tested
implementation details of an installation path that no longer
exists; end-to-end ADC behaviour is covered by
circuit-simulation-service.test.ts and the BJT-switch integration
test. Per the migration rule "tests only for real velxio code", a
pre-existing flake testing legacy installation paths is not real
coverage.
Next: D1+D2 — MCU pin event subscriptions so MCU edges drive
scheduler.alterSource + re-resolve, with throttling.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The service is the single owner of the simulation loop. Replaces
the trio of wireElectricalSolver + connectLegacySolverToMixedMode +
connectMixedModeSchedulerToStore once G* lands.
Architecture:
- Depends on PORTS only — SimulatorStorePort, ElectricalStorePort,
MixedModeSchedulerPort. Zero coupling to useSimulatorStore /
useElectricalStore / WASM. Easy to test with fakes (and that's
what circuit-simulation-service.test.ts does).
- Single tick(): build netlist → load → solve → extract → publish.
Coalesces concurrent triggers so rapid store changes collapse to
one trailing solve.
- Domain ElectricalSnapshot type covers nodeVoltages + branchCurrents
+ pinNetMap + timeWaveforms + analysisMode + warnings. Shape
matches what the 12 existing useElectricalStore consumers read.
NetlistBuilder extension: BuildNetlistResult now reports `nets`
(every non-ground SPICE net) and `voltageSources` (every V card the
builder emitted). The service uses these to construct the full
vectorsOfInterest list — every node voltage + every branch current
— so the solver returns the data the legacy consumers want.
Scheduler addition: `setExtraVectorsOfInterest(vectors)` lets the
orchestrator add to the per-pin set. Branch currents (i(v_*))
flow through this hook.
8 service tests cover initial solve, branch current extraction,
re-solve on store change, no-spurious-solve, coalescing, .tran
waveforms, warnings forwarding, error-tolerance.
Next: C1+C2 — extract ADC injection / waveform replay into a
solver-agnostic module that just subscribes to useElectricalStore.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
MixedModeScheduler now accepts any SolverPort implementation via
solverFactory injection. The ad-hoc `NgSpiceClient` interface is
gone; the scheduler talks domain port types only.
New capabilities that fell out of the refactor:
- `resolveTran(step, stop)` — runs .tran via the solver and publishes
the steady-state (last-sample) voltage per pin. Full waveform
reachable via `getLastResult()` for downstream consumers
(CircuitSimulationService in B1+ will use this to populate
useElectricalStore.timeWaveforms).
- `getLastResult()` exposes the SolveResult so the upcoming service
layer can extract branchCurrents + waveforms without re-reading.
- `vectorsOfInterest` is computed from pinNetMap on every solve, so
the adapter only issues N parallel readVecs (where N = distinct
non-ground nets) instead of guessing.
`__setSchedulerEngineFactoryForTests` renamed to
`__setSchedulerSolverFactoryForTests`.
Tests fully migrated to FakeSolverAdapter — no more inline mock
NgSpiceClient. Test layering now mirrors production: scheduler tests
exercise port consumption, port-contract tests exercise the port
itself.
60 tests pass across mixed-mode-scheduler, solver-port-contract,
mixed-mode-bjt-switch-integration (real ngspice), pin-resolver,
pin-resolver-phase1b, connect-mixed-mode-scheduler-to-store,
connect-legacy-solver-to-mixed-mode. tsc clean.
Next: B1 — CircuitSimulationService, the layer above the scheduler
that builds netlists, picks .op vs .tran, and publishes results to
both useElectricalStore and the scheduler cache.

Two SolverPort adapters land in this commit:
- NgSpiceWorkerAdapter — production. Wraps the vendored
NgSpiceInteractive client. Translates SolverPort calls into worker
messages. Parallel readVec for every vectorOfInterest after each
solve. .tran also reads the `time` vector for the axis.
- FakeSolverAdapter — in-memory test double. Records every call,
returns canned vectors via static map or dynamic supplier. Optional
solveDelayMs for race-condition tests.
Port surface refined: solve(analysis, options) now takes
SolveOptions.vectorsOfInterest so the adapter can parallelise reads
instead of guessing what the caller cares about.
This bundles A3 (resolveTran) into A2 because the same Solve API
handles every analysis kind — the adapter dispatches on
analysis.kind to build the right ngspice command (`op`, `tran <step>
<stop>`, `ac <sweep> <points> <fstart> <fstop>`).
11 SolverPort contract tests pass. When NgSpiceNodeAdapter lands in
F1, it will run the same contract suite verbatim to confirm it
honours the port identically.
Next: A4 — refactor MixedModeScheduler to depend on SolverPort
instead of the ad-hoc NgSpiceClient interface.

First commit of the full migration to a single WASM-driven solver.
Defines the abstract contract that domain code (MixedModeScheduler,
CircuitSimulationService) will depend on. Adapters in ./adapters/
implement the port against concrete engines.
Surface kept narrow:
- init / loadCircuit / solve / alterSource / dispose
- SolveAnalysis: op | tran | ac
- SolveResult: vectors map + timeAxis + solveMs + warnings
Domain types live in the port file (SolveVector, SolveResult) so the
port has no upward dependency on ../types.ts. Adapters bridge between
domain types and engine-specific shapes.
Next: A2 — implement NgSpiceWorkerAdapter on top of NgSpiceInteractive.
Then A3 (resolveTran), A4 (scheduler refactor), A5 (fake + tests).
See velxio-prod/project/sim-mixedmode/phase-1c-migration-plan.md for
the full sub-step roadmap.

Adds `connectMixedModeSchedulerToStore` — when enabled, it subscribes
to the simulator store and drives the MixedModeScheduler's WASM path
(`loadCircuit` + `resolveDc`) directly, parallel to the legacy
`wireElectricalSolver` + `connectLegacySolverToMixedMode` bridge.
Opt-in mechanisms (two ways, either works):
- URL query: `?mixedmode=on`
- Persistent: `localStorage.velxio.mixedmode = 'on'`
When the flag is off (default), behaviour is identical to before.
When on, both connectors publish voltages into the scheduler cache;
last write wins. This is deliberate during the A/B test — the two
paths can be compared by toggling the flag and watching the same
canvas behave identically (or surfacing divergence as a real bug).
The connector coalesces solves: if one is in flight, the next store
change marks a pending re-solve that fires once the first finishes,
collapsing N rapid changes into 1 trailing solve. Errors are logged
but don't propagate — the legacy solver is still running, so a WASM
convergence failure shouldn't kill the editor.
`collectPinStates` is now exported from `subscribeToStore.ts` so the
new connector reuses the same per-board pin-number mapping.
10 unit tests cover initial solve, re-solve on changes, coalescing
under load, error tolerance, unsubscribe cleanup, and the feature-
flag predicate (URL + localStorage paths). jsdom env scoped to this
file via `// @vitest-environment jsdom`.
Phase 1c step 1 of N: this is the plumbing that lets us validate the
WASM path in production without flipping the default. Step 2 would
add MCU pin-event subscriptions so MCU edges trigger re-solves
(currently only canvas changes do).

Wires can now carry a `length_cm` property. When set, the NetlistBuilder
treats them as a real resistor (0.01 ohm/cm ≈ AWG 22 copper) instead of
the legacy perfect-conductor union. Wires without `length_cm` are
unchanged — 100% backwards compatible until the UI starts attaching
length values based on canvas geometry.
Implementation:
- `WireForSpice.length_cm?: number` added to types
- Union-Find pass skips `union(a, b)` when length_cm > 0, so endpoints
end up in separate nets
- After component-card emission, scan `resistiveWires` and emit
`R_wire_<id> <netA> <netB> <ohms>` for each
- Pull-down detection runs after so the wire R counts as a DC path
Verified end-to-end with real ngspice:
- 100/100 divider at 5V → vmid = 2.5V (legacy, no wire R)
- Same with 1 cm supply wire → vmid = 2.4999 V (0.25 mV drop)
- Same with 500 cm supply wire → vmid ≈ 2.439 V (~6% drop)
5 new Phase 4 tests + 208 regression tests pass.
This is the plumbing-first deliverable from the original sim-mixedmode
plan — UI work (compute length from canvas waypoints) is a separate
front-end task.

RGB LED: each of R/G/B channels prefers the resolver subscription so
the LED works correctly when fed through a P-MOSFET high-side switch
or a BJT driver. PWM override (analogWrite) keeps using the integer
pin number through pinManager.onPwmChange — duty cycle handling isn't
yet exposed on PinResolver.
Buzzer: the HIGH/LOW edge subscription (tone() going active) now
flows through the resolver when available. Same PWM caveat — the
onPwmChange hook stays on the raw pin number to track when duty
drops to 0 and stops the oscillator.
Both fall back to pinManager.onPinChange when the resolver isn't
provided (tests / Phase-0-less builds).
Phase 5 progress: 19 of ~22 handlers migrated. Remaining handlers
are pushbutton / switch (input-only — no migration needed) and the
protocol-driven sensors (DHT, BMP, SPI/I2C/UART — stay event-level).
This is effectively the migration plateau.
260 tests pass across simulation-parts, component-to-spice,
mixed-mode-bjt-switch, logic-gate, flip-flop, and examples-digital.

Five control pins (DS / SHCP / STCP / MR / OE) now subscribe through
PinResolver when available. Rising-edge detection on SHCP / STCP
keeps working — resolver.onChange only fires on real state
transitions, so a 'HIGH' event is the rising edge.
Refactored the pin subscription pattern into a tiny `PinSub` helper
(getInitialHigh + onHighLow) so each pin's enable / disable / data /
clock / latch role reads the same shape. Falls back to the legacy
pinManager.onPinChange path when the resolver isn't provided.
Seeds initial register/active state from each pin's
`getCurrentState()` instead of assuming LOW at attach — important for
canvases that start with MR or OE statically wired to GND/VCC, so
the chip's output is correct before any pin transitions.
Phase 5 progress: 17 of ~22 handlers migrated. Remaining handlers
(pushbutton, switch, RGB LED, servo, sensors, neopixel, OLED) are
mostly protocol-level / input-only and intentionally stay on the
event-level fast-path. The output-style migration plateau is
essentially reached.
131 tests pass across simulation-parts + examples-digital.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
twoInputGate (AND/NAND/OR/NOR/XOR/XNOR), nInputGate (3/4-input AND/OR/
NAND/NOR), edgeTriggeredFF (D/T/JK), and the standalone NOT gate all
now prefer PinResolver input subscriptions. Output side (setPinState
on Y / Q / Qbar) is unchanged — digital propagation between gates
keeps flowing through pinManager.
Why this matters: logic gates are the biggest beneficiaries of Phase 3
logic-family thresholds. A gate input driven through a BJT collector
or MOSFET drain now reads the real SPICE voltage and converts to
HIGH/LOW per the board's logic family — instead of relying on the
legacy trace's `[C, B]` shortcut.
For flip-flops, rising-edge detection on CLK works identically with
resolver.onChange: a state transition to HIGH is exactly the rising-
edge event the original `!prevClk && s` was watching for.
All migrated handlers fall back to the legacy pinManager.onPinChange
path when getPinResolver isn't provided (tests / Phase-0-less builds).
Phase 5 progress: 16 handlers migrated this session (LED, 7-segment,
led-bar-graph, AND/NAND/OR/NOR/XOR/XNOR + 4 multi-input variants +
3 flip-flops + NOT). Remaining: 74HC595, buzzer, RGB LED, servo,
neopixel, sensors, motor drivers. Once the output-style handlers are
all on PinResolver, the `[C, B]` shortcut in PASSIVE_PIN_PAIRS can
be deleted.
113 tests pass across logic-gate-parts, flip-flop-parts, and
examples-digital (which exercises real ngspice on multi-gate
topologies like the 3-to-8 decoder).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Same backwards-compatible pattern as LED and 7-segment migrations.
With the resolver path each of the 10 anode pins now sees real SPICE-
resolved HIGH/LOW when driven through an active device. Legacy
pinManager.onPinChange path is kept as the fallback.
Seeds initial values from resolver state at attach time so the bar
graph renders correctly without waiting for the first edge event.
Phase 5 progress: 3 of ~12 handlers migrated (LED, 7-segment,
led-bar-graph). Next likely candidates: 74HC595 (more complex —
needs edge detection on SHCP/STCP), simpler output-only parts
(buzzer, RGB-LED).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The 7-segment display was the canary case for the original problem:
multiplexed displays with BJTs driving digit-select pins (COM/DIG)
required the `[C, B]` shortcut in PASSIVE_PIN_PAIRS to even discover
that the COM was wired to an Arduino pin. With this migration the
handler asks the resolver for HIGH/LOW directly — and the resolver
upstream of an active device routes through SpiceResolvedPinResolver,
which threshold-converts the real SPICE collector voltage using the
board's logic family.
Matches Phase 0's LED migration pattern: prefer the PinResolver path
when getPinResolver is available (Phase 0+ harness), fall back to the
legacy pinManager.onPinChange + getArduinoPinHelper for tests / builds
without it. Backwards-compatible — both digit-select (COM.1/COM.2 on
1-digit, DIG1..DIGn on multi-digit) and segment (A-G + DP) subscriptions
now flow through the resolver when available.
Seeds initial state from resolver.getCurrentState() so static-wire
topologies (e.g. COM directly to GND) work at sim-start without an
explicit edge event.
Phase 5 progress: 2 of ~12 *Parts handlers migrated (LED, 7-segment).
Remaining handlers (pushbutton, switch, 74HC595, etc.) follow the
same pattern.

The full LM358 SPICE3 subcircuit from National Semiconductor (via
stmbl) is now exported as LM358_SUBCKT from
simulation/spice/models/lm358Subckt.ts. Internal models renamed
DX→DX_LM358 and QX→QX_LM358 so the subckt coexists cleanly with any
other vendored library.
Integration into opamp-lm358 was attempted and reverted — the
subckt's internal capacitors/inductors/poly sources cause ngspice
`.op` to time out (>60 s) on a simple unity-gain follower. The
behavioural B-source clamp remains the active model. When Phase 1c
moves the default analysis to `.tran` (or we add `.options gmin=1e-10`
selectively for op-amp-containing netlists), the subckt is sitting
right next door waiting to be wired in.
Phase 2.2 lockdown test guards the asset:
- declares `.SUBCKT LM358 1 2 99 50 28` interface (IN+ IN- V+ V- OUT)
- ensures internal model names are LM358-scoped (not the bare DX/QX
that collide with other SPICE libraries)

Fixes the gap that Phase 1b step 4 surfaced: the legacy pinNetMap was
built from board endpoints only, so the bridge from legacy solver to
MixedModeScheduler had nothing to publish for component pins like
"q1:C" — every SpiceResolvedPinResolver was stuck on FLOATING.
Now pinNetMap contains an entry for every wire endpoint, board or
component. Backwards compatible: legacy ADC injection only ever looked
up `boardId:pinName` keys, which are unchanged.
The new e2e integration test wires up real ngspice (eecircuit-engine,
no mock):
Arduino pin 9 → 1k → 2N2222 base; collector via 220 to 5V
- pin 9 HIGH → BJT saturated → Vc ≈ 0.05V → resolver emits LOW
- pin 9 LOW → BJT cut off → Vc ≈ 5V → resolver emits HIGH
Validated against the AVR_HC logic family (Phase 3). With 216 tests
green across 25 files, the Phase 1b pipeline is now demonstrably
correct end-to-end against a real SPICE solver, not just mocks.

Connects the existing electrical solver's output (nodeVoltages +
pinNetMap from useElectricalStore) to the mixed-mode scheduler's
voltage cache. SpiceResolvedPinResolver subscribers now actually see
live voltages — they were stuck on FLOATING until this commit.
Design:
- `connectLegacySolverToMixedMode()` subscribes to useElectricalStore.
On every nodeVoltages / pinNetMap change it walks pinNetMap and
calls scheduler.publishVoltage(componentId, pinName, v) for each
pin. Ground pins (canonical net '0') resolve to 0 V directly.
NaN / Infinity voltages are skipped.
- `connectLegacySolverToMixedModeFor(store, scheduler)` is the
lower-level form used by tests so neither Zustand nor the WASM
scheduler need to boot.
- EditorPage mounts both `wireElectricalSolver` (legacy ADC path) and
`connectLegacySolverToMixedMode` (new SPICE-resolved path) in the
same useEffect — they coexist; the connector only routes events,
so no behaviour regresses for components that don't opt into
SpiceResolvedPinResolver.
7 new unit tests cover initial publish, re-publish on store change,
ground-pin shortcut, NaN filtering, and unsubscribe cleanup.
This is the wiring that completes Phase 1b's end-to-end pipe. The
WASM-driven onMcuPinChange path (loadCircuit + alter + tran in the
scheduler itself) stays available for future migration off the legacy
solver entirely — see Phase 1b doc.

Wires the second half of the mixed-mode event loop on top of the
voltage cache that step 1 added.
Step 2 — loadCircuit + resolveDc:
- `loadCircuit(netlist, pinNetMap)` accepts the artifacts that
NetlistBuilder already produces, boots the engine lazily, calls
`loadNetlist`, and clears the voltage cache so stale values from a
previous circuit cannot leak through.
- `resolveDc()` runs `op` and walks the pinNetMap, calling readVec for
each non-ground net and publishVoltage for each pin. Ground pins
short-circuit to 0 V without an extra round-trip. Missing nets are
skipped quietly so a disconnected probe pin can't break the resolve.
Step 3 — onMcuPinChange:
- Issues `alter V_<board>_<pin> dc <volts>` and re-resolves. Caller
decides the volts: `state ? vcc : 0` for plain digital, but boards
with open-drain / output-impedance semantics can pass any number.
- Silent no-op when no engine has been started, so legacy paths that
fire pinChange unconditionally can't crash the simulator.
NgSpiceClient interface added and exported so unit tests can inject a
fake engine that records alter() calls and returns canned readVec
values — `__setSchedulerEngineFactoryForTests`. 7 new tests cover the
load → resolve → alter → republish loop end-to-end without booting
the real WASM worker.
The orchestration layer (Zustand subscriber / DynamicComponent hook)
that calls `loadCircuit` whenever the canvas changes is the next step.

Adds the runtime plumbing that Phase 1b's SPICE event loop will drive:
- `publishVoltage(componentId, pin, voltage)` updates a (componentId,
pin) → volts cache and notifies every matching subscriber.
- `getCurrentVoltage(...)` reads the cache (was previously stubbed
null).
- subscribe/publish routing exercised by 7 new unit tests.
The scheduler still does not yet drive ngspice — `start()`,
`onMcuPinChange()` are unchanged. But once Phase 1b's solve loop is in
place, calling `publishVoltage` after each `readVec` is all the wiring
needed for components to start reacting to SPICE-resolved analog
states. This is the smallest non-trivial step that keeps the
architecture honest (no test-only emitters; the same code path will be
used in production).
Tests skip booting the WASM worker — they call publishVoltage
directly, so they pass in plain Vitest with no JSDOM Worker shim.

Switches 3 of the 4 simulated MOSFETs from Level=1 Shichman-Hodges
to LTSpice VDMOS macro-models. VDMOS captures real-device behaviour
(Ron, gate charge Qg, gate-drain Miller capacitance Cgdmax/Cgdmin,
body diode) that Level=1 fundamentally can't model.
Instance line changes from
M_id D G S S MODEL L=2u W=200u (4-terminal NMOS + W/L)
to
M_id D G S MODEL (3-terminal VDMOS)
Parts migrated:
mosfet-2n7000 → 2N7002 VDMOS (Vto=1.6, Ron=2 ohm — matches old Vto)
mosfet-irf540 → IRF530 VDMOS (Vto=4, Ron=160m — IRF540 missing
from LTSpice library, IRF530 is the
closest same-series part)
mosfet-irf9540 → IRF9640 VDMOS (pchan, Vto=-3.5 — IRF9540 missing,
IRF9640 is the 200V P-channel sub)
mosfet-fqp27p06 kept on Level=1 (no upstream VDMOS equivalent yet).
spice-mosfet-pwm regression test still passes: Id=8.6 mA at Vgs=5V,
0 at Vgs=0V, monotonic across the ramp. All 155 SPICE + analog
examples + lockdown tests pass.
Phase 2.1 lockdown test added — verifies VDMOS-shape instance line
(5 tokens, no L=/W=) and that the .model card carries `VDMOS(`.

Asserts the Phase 2 BJTs include Gummel-Poon junction caps (CJC/CJE)
and forward transit time (TF), and the diode upgrades include
reverse-recovery time (tt) and Schottky band-gap (Eg). If anyone
simplifies the models in the future, these regress fail and surface
the loss of AC/transient fidelity.
Also guards the dedupe identity between the canonical diode-1n4148
emission and the relay flyback diode — they must serialise as the same
string or ngspice will reject the netlist for duplicate .model lines.

Replaces the truncated 4-5 param NPN/PNP/D models in componentToSpice.ts
with full Gummel-Poon / SPICE3F5 parameter sets sourced from the
LTSpice-Libraries (Linear Tech standard.bjt and standard.dio). Junction
capacitances, transit times, and reverse-recovery now match real-device
behaviour — circuits using these parts will now exhibit correct AC and
switching response on top of DC saturation.
Parts upgraded:
BJT NPN: 2N2222, BC547, 2N3055
BJT PNP: 2N3906, BC557
Diode: 1N4148 (silicon switching), 1N5817, 1N5819 (Schottky)
MOSFET (Level=1) and 1N4007/zener kept as-is - they need separate
VDMOS migration validated against the MOSFET PWM regression test.
Phase 2.0 of the mixed-mode simulator project. See
velxio-prod/project/sim-mixedmode/phase-02-device-models.md.
All 115 SPICE tests pass; relay-integration test confirms the netlist
dedupe set still collapses two D1N4148 references (canonical diode +
relay flyback) into a single .model line.
