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.

Replaces the Phase 1b vcc/2-flat threshold with per-logic-family
Vil/Vih thresholds + Schmitt-trigger hysteresis where applicable.
SPICE-resolved digital reads now match what real ICs actually do —
TTL noise margins, CMOS rail-to-rail, 74HC14 Schmitt hysteresis,
LVCMOS33 vs CMOS-5V interop.
New module: simulation/LogicFamilies.ts
- LogicFamily interface (vcc, vil, vih, vil_schmitt?, vih_schmitt?,
cin_pF, vol_max?, voh_min?, output_impedance_ohm?)
- FAMILIES catalog: TTL, CMOS-5V, CMOS-5V-SCHMITT, CMOS-5V-TTL-INPUTS,
LVCMOS33, AVR_HC, CMOS-3.3V — all sourced from TI / ATmega328P /
JEDEC datasheets.
- BOARD_FAMILY: per-board lookup. Uno/Mega/Nano/ATtiny → AVR_HC,
ESP32 family + Pi Pico → LVCMOS33, fall back to AVR_HC for
unknown boards.
- getBoardLogicFamily() and getLogicFamilyById() helpers.
PinResolver:
- SpiceResolvedConfig docstring rewritten with Phase 3 wording.
- New `configFromLogicFamily()` builder — picks Schmitt thresholds
when the family declares them, falls back to vih/vil otherwise.
DynamicComponent:
- When the trace crosses an active device, the SPICE-resolved
resolver is now built with the OWNER BOARD's logic family
instead of vcc/2. Hysteresis comes through automatically for
boards whose native family is Schmitt-capable.
- Phase 3 continued: per-component logicFamily override from
components-metadata.json (so e.g. a 74HC14 placed on an Arduino
Uno gets Schmitt thresholds even though the BOARD is AVR_HC).
Tests:
- logic-families.test.ts (new) — 19/19 passing.
Covers catalog sanity (vil < vih, vol_max ≤ vil, voh_min ≥ vih),
per-board lookup, Schmitt vs non-Schmitt config, noise rejection
behavior of 74HC14 Schmitt resolver, last-state-wins behavior
of CMOS-5V dead band.
- Phase 0 + Phase 1b regression: 16/16 still passing.
- tsc --noEmit on new files: clean.

Adds the architecture pieces for mixed-mode coupling without yet
driving the SPICE engine. Components on a path that crosses an active
device (BJT, MOSFET, op-amp, diode, regulator, LED, relay) now route
through a new SPICE-resolved PinResolver variant; everything else
keeps the digital fast-path from Phase 0.
What ships:
- simulation/PinResolver.ts
* `isActiveDevice(metadataId)` predicate + `ACTIVE_DEVICE_PREFIXES`
list (BJTs, MOSFETs, op-amps, diodes, regulators, LED, relay).
* `DetailedPinTrace` / `DetailedPinTracer` types — the trace
function now reports whether it crossed an active device, on
top of the Arduino pin number.
* `createSpiceResolvedPinResolver()` — new factory; reads voltages
from a `SpiceVoltageSource` and threshold-converts to HIGH/LOW
with hysteresis (thresholdHigh != thresholdLow → Schmitt-like).
- simulation/spice/MixedModeScheduler.ts (new)
* Singleton orchestrator that holds the NgSpiceInteractive engine
and the SpiceVoltageSource subscription registry.
* `start()` / `stop()` / `dispose()` lifecycle.
* `subscribe()` + `getCurrentVoltage()` implement SpiceVoltageSource.
* `onMcuPinChange()` placeholder for the alter+tran event loop.
* Skeleton: subscribers register but never receive events yet.
Phase 1b continued will wire NgSpiceInteractive into the loop.
- components/DynamicComponent.tsx
* Trace function extended with `traceDetailed()` that tracks
whether the BFS crossed an active component.
* PinResolver factory branches: active-path → SPICE-resolved (uses
the scheduler), digital-only → existing default impl. Default
threshold = vcc/2 with no hysteresis; Phase 3 will replace with
per-logic-family Vil/Vih.
Phase 0 LED behavior intact (digital path). Phase 1b SPICE-resolved
path falls back to FLOATING until Phase 1b continued wires the engine.
Tests:
- pin-resolver-phase1b.test.ts (new) — 8/8 passing.
Covers isActiveDevice for every BJT/MOSFET/op-amp/diode/regulator
metadata id; SPICE-resolved resolver state reporting, threshold
conversion, hysteresis dead-band, unsubscribe.
- pin-resolver.test.ts (Phase 0) — 8/8 still passing (no regression).
- tsc --noEmit on the new files: clean.

Phase 1a of the mixed-mode simulator project. Vendors prebuilt
ngspice+XSpice WASM artifacts from ejkreboot/ngspice-xspice-wasm (MIT,
2026) and adds a TypeScript client that exposes the ngspice shared
callable API for interactive (event-driven) use.
What's vendored at frontend/public/wasm/ngspice-interactive/ (~27 MB):
- ngspice-lib.wasm (24 MB) — ngspice 33 + XSpice, MAIN_MODULE
- ngspice-lib.js (2.7 MB) — Emscripten glue
- {analog,digital,xtradev,xtraevt,table,tlines,spice2poly}.cm
— XSpice code models, loaded dynamically
- spinit — ngspice startup script
- PROVENANCE.md — sources + license info
Note on the cost: 27 MB is a one-way commit to git history, but the
existing eecircuit-engine dependency already ships 39 MB in node_modules
(not tracked, re-downloaded per build). Vendoring our copy:
- removes a third-party npm dependency
- pins the exact build we tested with
- means the WASM is served as a static asset (no Vite chunking)
The alternative (publish as @velxio/ngspice-interactive-wasm) was
deferred to keep the iteration cycle fast during Phase 1+.
New TypeScript client at frontend/src/simulation/spice/wasm/:
- NgSpiceInteractive.ts — Promise-based client class with
init / loadNetlist / command /
alter / readVec / reset / dispose
- ngspice-interactive-worker.js — vendored from ejkreboot's worker
and extended with 'loadNetlist',
'command', 'readVec' message types
plus per-command stdout/stderr
capture
POC test at __tests__/ngspice-interactive.test.ts (skipped in node env
because Worker isn't available; runs in a browser-mode test env):
- voltage divider .op → reads v(mid) ≈ 2.5V
- RC step → reads v(cap) time series, final ≈ 5V
- alter Vsrc → second .tran → final ≈ 1V (proves alter+rerun works)
Known limitation deferred to Phase 1b: the vendored WASM is built
without pthreads (no -sUSE_PTHREADS=1), so ngspice's bg_run is
synchronous-blocking. True mixed-mode event injection requires a
pthread-enabled rebuild (with SharedArrayBuffer + cross-origin
isolation). For Phase 1a we use the workaround: chained short-tran
invocations with `alter` between them. The new architecture is built
to swap in a real bg_halt/bg_resume implementation later without
changing component handlers — see NgSpiceInteractive.ts docstring.
Tests passing:
- pin-resolver (Phase 0): 8/8
- ngspice-interactive: 3 skipped (need browser env)
- tsc --noEmit on the new files: clean
Decouple per-component handlers from direct pinManager.onPinChange +
getArduinoPinHelper subscriptions by introducing a small PinResolver
interface. The Phase 0 default impl is functionally identical to the
legacy path — it just routes through PinResolver instead of being
inlined in every handler. Zero behavior change.
The point is to make Phase 1 possible: swap the default impl for a
SPICE-resolved version that watches node voltages and threshold-
converts to digital events, without rewriting every handler.
Files:
- simulation/PinResolver.ts (new) — interface + default factory
- parts/PartSimulationRegistry.ts — additive 5th arg to
attachEvents (getPinResolver?), legacy 4-arg signatures keep
working unchanged
- components/DynamicComponent.tsx — assembles the PinResolver from
the wire-trace logic + PinManager subscriptions + board Vcc
lookup, passes it as the 5th arg to attachEvents
- parts/BasicParts.ts — LED handler migrated as proof of concept
(resolver-first path, legacy 4-arg path kept as fallback for
tests / unmigrated harnesses)
- __tests__/pin-resolver.test.ts (new) — 8 unit tests covering
FLOATING / GND / HIGH / LOW / GPIO subscriptions / unsubscribe
Vitest: 8/8 pin-resolver tests pass. 1300+ existing tests still pass;
the one pre-existing flake (spice-rectifier-live-repro timing out >60s)
is unrelated to this commit — verified by running the test on plain
HEAD without these changes (same timeout).
See project/sim-mixedmode/phase-00-pin-resolver.md (in the velxio-prod
repo) for full phase context.
The MADCTL handler in 6edc715 applied MX/MY/MV as three independent
flags, then mirrored physX/physY post-swap. That double-applies the
mirror for setRotation(3) (which Adafruit sends as MX|MY|MV|BGR=0xE8):
expected formula for rotation 3 is
physX = 239 - curY
physY = curX
but the flag-by-flag approach computed
physX = 239 - curY (correct by coincidence)
physY = 319 - curX (mirrored — should be just curX)
so every landscape-rot-3 sketch rendered horizontally flipped. The
user's Pico Doom title screen looked mirrored even after the previous
fix landed.
Replaced with an explicit per-rotation table derived from
Adafruit_ILI9341's setRotation() source:
rot 0 MX|BGR : (curX, curY)
rot 1 MV|BGR : (curY, 319 - curX)
rot 2 MY|BGR : (239 - curX, 319 - curY)
rot 3 MX|MY|MV|BGR : (239 - curY, curX)
Selects the case based on (madMV, madMX, madMY) bits, which is
straightforward because Adafruit only emits these 4 specific values.
Other drivers that set arbitrary MADCTL combinations (e.g. with the ML
or MH bits) still fall through to the closest of the four — good
enough for the screens we actually run.

The canonical "Arduino pin → resistor → BJT base, BJT collector →
load" pattern for multiplexed 7-segment clocks was breaking in the
simulator: getArduinoPinHelper('COM.1') couldn't resolve through
the transistor, so the multiplex-aware 7-segment driver thought no
digit-select pin was wired and fell back to "all digits enabled".
Result: every display in the multiplex array rendered the same
rapidly-changing pattern → user-visible flicker.
Fix: add the NPN/PNP BJTs to the PASSIVE_PIN_PAIRS map with
[collector, base] — the trace function continues from B when it
arrives at C (and vice versa). That makes the Arduino pin driving
the base reported as the controller of the collector — exactly the
relationship the user's multiplex code expects.
Conventions covered:
- NPN (2n2222, bc547, 2n3055): Arduino HIGH → transistor on →
COM pulled LOW → common-cathode digit enabled. Our 7-segment
driver treats "digit pin HIGH = enabled" which matches.
- PNP (2n3906, bc557): inverse logic. We expose the same pin
mapping; users writing PNP-driver code will see the polarity
behave inverted, which is what real hardware does too.
This is a one-line shortcut, not a true active-device model. We're
not simulating BJT saturation, β, base current, or PNP polarity —
just reporting "this Arduino pin is the boss of this collector".
That's enough for the multiplexing use case and the only place
getArduinoPinHelper is consulted today.
The simulator's 7-segment part used to write segments straight into
element.values[0..7] regardless of how many digits the display has and
without considering the COM/DIG select pins. That meant:
- Multi-digit displays (digits=2/3/4) only ever lit digit 0; the
other digits stayed dark even when their DIGn pin was driven.
- For 1-digit displays multiplexed via shared A-G bus + per-display
COM.1 transistor (the canonical Arduino clock pattern), all four
displays showed the same rapidly-changing segment pattern and
rendered as flickering gibberish because COM.1/COM.2 were ignored.
This rewrites the part:
- Per-element state: live segments[] (Arduino-driven A..DP), per-
digit latched digitValues[][], and digitEnabled[] flags.
- Subscribes to the right digit-select pins for the digit count
(COM.1/COM.2 for digits=1, DIG1..DIGn for digits=2/3/4).
- On segment-pin change: writes to segments[] AND mirrors into
every currently-enabled digit's latched slot.
- On digit-pin LOW->HIGH (= enable, transistor-driver convention):
latches the live segments[] into that digit's slot so the first
refresh after enabling reflects the current pattern.
- When NO digit-select pin is wired to an Arduino pin (pure direct
drive, COM tied to GND): all digits default to enabled so segment
writes propagate immediately — preserves the old behaviour for
the simplest single-digit case.
- Rebuilds element.values as a flat array of length digits*8 (the
shape wokwi-7segment-element expects: indices d*8..d*8+7 = digit
d's A..DP).
Result: multiplexed 4-digit clocks built with 4 separate 1-digit
7segments + transistors actually render the four digits as the user
intended. Direct-drive single-digit displays still work unchanged.
The 'raspberry-pi-pico' boardKind used to render <NanoRP2040> — a
<wokwi-nano-rp2040-connect> Web Component. That's a completely
different board: it has pin labels D2..D13 / A0..A7 / 5V / VIN,
and a horizontal 168×68 layout. The actual Raspberry Pi Pico has
GP0..GP28 / 3V3 / VBUS / VSYS and is vertical-narrow (105×264).
Symptom: every wire in a Pi-Pico example that referenced a real Pico
pin (GP10, GP18, 3V3, GND.5, etc.) silently fell back to (0, 0) in
pinPositionCalculator — the calculator looks up `element.pinInfo`
by name, doesn't find GP* on the Nano RP2040 Connect component, and
returns the board's top-left corner. The Pico Doom example was the
loudest casualty (cables to the corner instead of the TFT), but
seven other GP-style examples (pico-7segment, pico-button-led,
pico-rgb, pico-dht22, pico-doom-raycaster, plus pico-ntc/pico-joystick
which use A0/A1 aliases that map to GP26/GP27) all silently routed
to nowhere.
Fix is a two-liner: 'raspberry-pi-pico' shares the same case as
'pi-pico-w' (both use the same Web Component because the Pico and
Pico W are pin-compatible). BOARD_SIZE updated to 105×264 to match
the real Pico footprint. Dropped the now-unused NanoRP2040 import.
Known regression — eleven older examples (pico-blink, pico-serial-led-
control, pico-i2c-scanner, pico-i2c-rtc-read, pico-i2c-eeprom-rw,
pico-spi-loopback, pico-adc-read, pico-multi-protocol, pico-hcsr04,
pico-pir, pico-servo) were wired against D2..D12 of the wrong board.
Their wires will now land at (0,0). Those examples' sketches were
written for the Pi Pico (use LED_BUILTIN = GP25, A0..A3 = GP26..GP29)
so the wires were ALREADY electrically nonsense — they connected
external components to pins the sketch never touched. Visible bug
trades silent bug; both need a follow-up commit to rewire each one
to the Pico pin its sketch actually expects.
Combined with the earlier MADCTL fix (6edc715) and the SPI adapter
fix (6a7b721), Pico Doom should now finally render end-to-end on
velxio.dev.

Long-standing latent bug: SPI parts (ILI9341, custom chips, etc.)
register a handler on simulator.spi.onByte via the lazy adapter, but
the actual rp2040.spi[0].onTransmit assignment in initMCU was a pure
loopback that never consulted the adapter. The MicroPython init path
(initMicroPython) had the adapter-aware version since day one;
the Arduino path (initMCU) didn't.
Symptom: Pico Doom + every other Arduino sketch driving an ILI9341
on the RP2040 saw an empty SPI bus. The ILI9341 emulator's onByte
handler was wired up correctly — it just never received a single
byte. Pantalla negra.
Fix: copy the adapter-aware handler from initMicroPython (line 219)
into initMCU (line 441). Each byte the firmware writes to SPI0 now
checks `_spiAdapter.onByte` first; if a part is registered, it gets
the byte; otherwise we keep the original loopback as the fallback
so plain "echo MOSI back as MISO" sketches still work.
Combined with the earlier MADCTL fix (commit 6edc715) and the
power+MISO wiring fix (8440836), Pico Doom should now render its
title screen + the raycaster.

Mirror of the /project/<uuid> pattern but for built-in examples.
Loading an example used to navigate to a generic /editor and lose
all trace of which example was loaded — same URL whether you
clicked Blink or Doom, nothing shareable, no back-button history.
New page: pages/ExampleEditorPage.tsx
- Route: /example/:exampleId (singular, distinct from the plural
/examples/<id> landing).
- useEffect calls loadExample(...) once when exampleId changes,
guarded by a ref so React strict-mode's double-effect doesn't
re-load (which would clobber any edits the user made).
- Renders <EditorPage /> after the load completes — same as how
ProjectByIdPage stays mounted at /project/<uuid> after load.
- SEO: title + description per example, canonical URL points at
/example/<id>.
- 404 state for unknown ids (typo'd link, deleted example).
- Inline install progress while libraries fetch — the overlay
UI moved here from ExamplesPage/ExampleDetailPage so progress
is visible right at the URL you'll bookmark.
App.tsx — registered the new route alongside the existing landing.
Both coexist on purpose:
/examples/<id> = SEO landing page (preview, badges, "Open in
Simulator" CTA). Indexed by Google (130 URLs
already in sitemap.xml).
/example/<id> = live editor with the example pre-loaded; URL
stays pinned so the link is shareable +
bookmarkable like a saved project URL.
ExamplesPage — gallery now navigates to /example/<id> instead of
calling loadExample directly. Also drops the install-overlay block
(progress UI is on ExampleEditorPage now).
ExampleDetailPage — "Open in Simulator" navigates to /example/<id>
instead of loading directly. Drops its own install overlay too.
Side effect: this also kills the data-loss bug from 95f2aa9 in a
second way. Even if a future change forgets to call
clearCurrentProject() somewhere, navigating into ExampleEditorPage
forces a fresh page transition — the previous project's state +
the auto-save subscription don't survive into the example session.

Critical data-loss bug. Repro:
1. User opens a saved project at /<username>/<slug>. The page sets
useProjectStore.currentProject = { id, slug, ownerUsername, ... }.
Auto-save kicks in and starts watching simulator/editor stores.
2. User clicks the "Examples" link, picks an example, hits Run.
3. loadExample mutates useSimulatorStore (setComponents, setWires,
addBoard, removeBoard) and useEditorStore (loadFiles).
4. Auto-save sees the change. Its eligibility check finds
currentProject still pointing at the user's saved project (we
never touched useProjectStore). It debounces a
PUT /api/projects/<old-id> with the EXAMPLE's components/wires/
files. The user's saved project is overwritten with the example
contents.
The URL changing to /editor isn't enough — useProjectStore is store
state, not router state. ProjectPage / ProjectByIdPage set it on
mount; nothing clears it when the user navigates away.
Fix: loadExample calls useProjectStore.getState().clearCurrentProject()
BEFORE the simulator/editor mutations. autoSaveImpl is subscribed to
useProjectStore via subscribe((s, prev) => ... reset() if id changed),
and Zustand notifies subscribers synchronously inside set(), so the
reset (projectId=null, baseline hash=null) runs in the same tick.
Every subsequent setComponents/setWires/loadFiles fires onChange in
the hook, which now sees projectId=null and returns early. No PUT
ever goes out.
The reset is order-sensitive: it must run BEFORE the store mutations
or the hook would already have queued a save with the old projectId
before we cleared. Comment in the source spells this out so it
doesn't get reordered in a future refactor.
In-flight saves are not affected: buildSavePayload() snapshots state
before its `await updateProject(...)`, so a save that started right
before the example load still sends the user's pre-example state to
the right project. Worst case: the save completes after clear, and
the hook quietly returns idle.

The Pico Doom example loaded with the ILI9341 dangling on three
critical pins:
- VCC — unconnected (no 3V3 from the Pico)
- GND — unconnected (no return path)
- MISO — unconnected
On real hardware the TFT wouldn't power on at all without VCC/GND.
Inside the velxio simulator the missing power isn't strictly fatal
(the simulator drives pixels off the SPI bus, not the rail), but it
makes the schematic incorrect and misleading for users who copy it
to a breadboard. MISO is electrically idle for write-only drivers,
but Adafruit_ILI9341 with the 3-arg constructor binds to hardware
SPI0, so MISO physically maps to GP16 — leaving it floating leaves
the SPI bus topology incomplete.
Wires added:
Pico 3V3 → tft1.VCC (red)
Pico GND.5 → tft1.GND (black) — closest GND pad to GP17/18/19
Pico GP16 → tft1.MISO (amber) — hardware SPI0 MISO
Updated the data-integrity test (examples-pico-doom.test.ts) to
include the three new pairs in the SPI/control/power expectation
map. 10/10 tests pass.

The ILI9341 emulator hardcoded SCREEN_W=240 SCREEN_H=320 and silently
ignored every command except CASET/PASET/RAMWR/SWRESET. The block
comment even bragged about it ("All others are silently accepted —
init sequences, DISPON, MADCTL…").
That's fine for portrait sketches, but every landscape demo —
including the new Pico Doom raycaster — calls tft.setRotation(1) or
setRotation(3). Adafruit_ILI9341 translates those into MADCTL 0x36
with the MV (row/column exchange) bit set, then issues CASET windows
with X∈[0..319] and PASET windows with Y∈[0..239]. The emulator's
bounds check `curX > colEnd` would let curX reach 319, but the
buffer write `id.data[(curY*240 + curX)*4]` would land in a slot
that belongs to a different row — and worse, the SCREEN_W=240
ceiling silently truncated everything past column 239. Net result:
black screen for any rotated sketch.
Fix: parse MADCTL (0x36) and treat CASET/PASET as LOGICAL coordinates.
At pixel-write time, remap (curX, curY) → physical (px, py) using the
MV/MX/MY bits, then write into the still-physical 240×320 imageData.
SWRESET resets MADCTL back to portrait defaults (matches the
datasheet's reset semantics).
MADCTL bit Mask Meaning
D7 MY 0x80 row mirror
D6 MX 0x40 column mirror
D5 MV 0x20 swap X/Y (landscape)
Verified by rebuilding (vite OSS+pro). The fix is data-flow only —
no API change, no new dependency. Pico Doom should now actually
render its title screen + raycast frames in /examples on the
raspberry-pi-pico board.

addBoard appended the new board to the boards[] array but never
touched activeBoardId. The default INITIAL_BOARD_ID points at a
board the picker injects on first load — but a fresh anonymous
session (or a project that landed in a state without that initial
board) can have activeBoardId pointing at nothing.
When the agent does add_board('arduino-uno') → compile_sketch, step
2 then fails with "no active board on the canvas" and the model
burns a turn on set_active_board.
The fix: at addBoard time, if activeBoardId doesn't resolve to any
existing board, promote the new board to active. If there IS a
valid active board, leave it alone — manual placements of additional
boards via the picker still keep focus on whatever the user was
working on.

immediately after the button click.
Two unrelated minimap issues from user feedback:
1. Click on the red viewport rect was sometimes teleporting the
canvas instead of starting a drag. Cause: insideRect compared
click coords against the UNCLAMPED rectX/rectY/rectW/rectH, but
the rendered rect uses clampedX/clampedY (which differ when the
user pans past a world edge). The user clicked on the visible
red rect, but the logical rect was off-minimap → insideRect
returned false → fell through to the teleport branch.
Fix: compute clamped values once at the top, render and hit-test
against the same values. Drag now only fires when the click
really lands inside the visible rect.
2. The 140x105 default still ate too much canvas at typical zoom.
Drop to 100x75 (12% of world width by 2.5%, same proportions as
the world). Mobile breakpoint dropped to 90x68 to stay
proportionally smaller on phones.
User feedback: the default 200x150 minimap eats too much of the
canvas-content area on a typical 13"/14" laptop, and the white
viewport rectangle against a dark canvas blends with the boards
once enough components are placed.
Drop the desktop default down to the size we already use on phones
(140x105 — the mobile media query still wins on screens ≤720px so
that block continues to apply identically). At this size the rect
becomes the focal indicator of where you are in the world; switch
its outline to brand red (#ef4444 — Tailwind red-500) with a faint
red fill so it pops without overpowering the boards (which stay
brand blue).
Body of the work is two number changes + two color tokens; the
rest of the component logic (pointer routing, world rendering,
clamping) is untouched.
Phase 4 of the OSS / pro split. The OSS image has no auth and no

wires, active board id) that the user can save to disk and reload
later.

- parseVlxFile(File) — async reader + validator. Checks

Format intentionally mirrors the server's POST /api/projects body so
a Pro user can export-from-pro and import-into-OSS losslessly (and
vice-versa once Pro adds an Export button — out of scope here).
lib/proSaveAction.ts: the default (no-overlay) implementation now
calls triggerDownloadVlx() instead of console.info'ing about the
missing handler. The Pro overlay still wins via installSaveActionImpl()
— Save in Pro keeps opening SaveProjectModal. The Save button in OSS
now actually saves.
components/editor/FileExplorer.tsx: new "Open .vlx" button next to
New + Save. Opens a hidden file input; confirms with the user before
replacing the workspace (loadProjectState is destructive); surfaces
VlxParseError messages via window.alert.
Verified with both builds:
- OSS-only: triggerSaveAction → download .vlx; FileExplorer shows
3 buttons (New, Open, Save).
- OSS + overlay: Pro's installSaveActionImpl overrides — Save opens
SaveProjectModal as before. Open .vlx still works (independent
button, not part of the save flow).

Phase 3 of the OSS / pro split — frontend side. Phase 2 already moved
the auth/DB stack out of the OSS backend; this commit does the same
for the React app. After this, the OSS image is editor + simulator
+ landing + docs only.
What moved to the private overlay (pro/frontend/src/pro/):
pages/{Login,Register,ForgotPassword,ResetPassword}Page.tsx
pages/{Admin,UserProfile,Project,ProjectById}Page.tsx
components/admin/{AdminBoardsTab,AdminDashboardTab,UserActivityModal}.tsx
components/layout/{SaveProjectModal,LoginPromptModal}.tsx
services/{authService,adminService}.ts
store/useAuthStore.ts
hooks/autoSaveImpl.ts
New seams added so OSS components stay decoupled:
* lib/proRoutes.ts — registerProRoutes()/useProRoutes() via
useSyncExternalStore. mountPro() injects the moved pages at runtime;
App.tsx subscribes to the registry, so registration after the
initial render re-renders without a Not-Found flash.
* lib/proSession.ts — registerSessionCheck()/triggerSessionCheck().
App.tsx fires this on mount instead of useAuthStore.checkSession();
pure OSS no-ops.
* lib/proSaveAction.ts — installSaveActionImpl()/triggerSaveAction().
EditorPage's Save button dispatches through this; the overlay
decides whether to show SaveProjectModal or LoginPromptModal based
on auth state. In OSS without an overlay it's a no-op today; in
Phase 4 of the split it becomes the .vlx Export entry point.
OSS-side rewrites:
* App.tsx drops the 8 page imports + 8 route entries; uses
triggerSessionCheck() instead of useAuthStore directly.
* AppHeader.tsx drops the user/login/register block entirely. The
header-auth slot (introduced in Phase 1) now stays empty in OSS
and gets filled by the overlay's portal mount.
* EditorPage.tsx drops useAuthStore + SaveProjectModal +
LoginPromptModal imports. The Save handler is now triggerSaveAction().
* LandingPage.tsx drops the dead UserMenu component (defined but
never rendered) + its useAuthStore imports.
* main.tsx drops the side-effect import of hooks/autoSaveImpl — the
impl lives in pro now and self-registers via mountPro().
Build config:
* vite.config.ts adds @velxio alias → src/. Lets the overlay import
upstream modules (lib/proRoutes etc.) by stable name regardless of
whether it's symlinked (local dev) or COPYed (Docker).
* preserveSymlinks now gated on VITE_PRO_BUILD only (not on serve
mode). Needed so Rollup keeps the overlay logically inside src/pro/
during local junction-based builds.
Build verification:
* OSS-only: 20-ish routes, no /login, /admin, /:username — 285 SEO
pages prerendered. Bundle drops ~80-120 KB.
* OSS + overlay: full 38 routes (30 upstream + 8 from registerProRoutes),
HeaderAuth dropdown injected via slot, save action wired to the
overlay's modal flow.

First phase of the OSS / pro split. Goal: open the seams so the auth/DB/admin
stack can move into the private overlay (Phase 2-3) without the routes that
stay in OSS (compile, libraries, simulation, iot_gateway) having to know.
Backend
-------
* New app/core/hooks.py — registry for record_compile, get_current_user_id,
and lifespan startup tasks. Each hook is a no-op by default; overlays
call register_* in register_pro(app) to plug in a real implementation.
* compile.py now imports only from app.core.hooks. Drops the direct deps on
app.core.dependencies, app.database.session, app.models.user, and
app.services.metrics. Route signatures use `Depends(get_current_user_id)`
instead of `Depends(get_current_user)`; the metric helper passes user_id
through rather than a User instance.
* compile_chip.py drops the unused _current_user Depends entirely.
* main.py wraps the auth/DB stack import in try/except. When it succeeds
(today's behavior on velxio.dev), an adapter bridges record_compile and
get_current_user_id to the existing app.services.metrics + dependencies,
and the create_all + ALTER TABLE migration block runs via a registered
lifespan_startup hook. When it fails (the post-Phase-2 OSS image), main
logs "running stateless" and skips registering anything — the routes
still load and behave as no-ops for metrics + always-anonymous for auth.
Frontend
--------
* useAutoSaveProject becomes a skeleton: one useState + one useEffect that
delegates to an installed AutoSaveImpl. installAutoSaveImpl() replaces
the impl without changing hook count, so React's rules-of-hooks stay
satisfied even after the impl moves out of OSS.
* New hooks/autoSaveImpl.ts holds the original logic (debouncing, dirty
detection, owner eligibility, fetch keepalive on unload), refactored to
emit() instead of useState. It self-registers at module load; main.tsx
imports it for the side effect.
* AppHeader wraps the entire user-vs-login UI in a data-velxio-slot
="header-auth" boundary. Today the OSS UI still renders inside the slot
— the overlay can portal-inject additional items now, and in Phase 3
the slot becomes the sole owner of header auth UX.
Behavior is identical on velxio.dev (pro overlay imports everything
successfully, every adapter wires up). The change is purely structural:
deleting the auth/DB modules tomorrow no longer crashes OSS at import.

index.html ships a #root-seo div with prerendered SEO content (so crawlers
that don't run JS still index per-route copy). The inline CSS comment said
"React removes it on mount", but nothing actually removed it — so every
page kept a position:absolute, ~4096px-tall, visibility:hidden element
parked at top:0. That element does not paint, but it DOES contribute to
document.documentElement.scrollHeight.
Symptom: /admin, /docs, /:username and other short pages had a phantom
scroll roughly the size of the prerendered SEO body. Scrolling past the
real content showed a black band (just the body background) because there
was nothing visible to render down there. When tab content loaded with
more rows, the real content outgrew the phantom and the scrollbar "settled
in" — matching the user-reported symptom exactly.
Verified with puppeteer against velxio.dev:
/dave: documentElement.scrollHeight 4096 → expected ~800 after fix
/admin: documentElement.scrollHeight 4096 → expected ~800 after fix
/docs: documentElement.scrollHeight 4096 → expected ~1161 after fix
The removal runs inside App's mount-effect, so it only fires after React
has actually committed — if App were to throw during render, the SEO
fallback would stay in the DOM as intended.

Two minimal hooks so the velxio-pro agent overlay can offer a 'Diagnose
this compile failure with AI' affordance without touching upstream
component internals:
- New store/useCompileLogsStore: holds the editor's compile output as
Zustand state instead of local React useState in EditorPage. The
setter accepts both a value and an updater fn so the EditorToolbar
callers that used setCompileLogs(prev => [...prev, log]) keep
working without changes.
- CompilationConsole header now renders a
<div data-velxio-slot='compile-console-actions' /> when errorCount
> 0. The pro overlay mounts a 'Diagnose with AI' button into this
slot via slotMounter. Empty in the OSS image — no behaviour change.
EditorPage replaces its local useState<CompilationLog[]> with the store
selector. The downstream prop-drilled setCompileLogs callers (toolbar,
sub-toolbars) keep their signature.
Companion commit lands the button + diagnostic prompt builder in the
velxio-prod overlay.

Mirrors the velxio-prod backend quota bump (PLANS dict in
pro/backend/app/pro/services/quota.py). With 9router serving the bulk
of agent traffic for free, the cost-of-LLM ceiling is much lower than
when the limits were originally tuned, so we can be significantly more
generous and let casual users actually evaluate the agent.
Free 20 /day, 300 /mo → 100 /day, 1500 /mo
Pro 400 /day, 12k /mo → 500 /day, 15k /mo
Pro Max 1000/day, 30k /mo → 2000 /day, 60k /mo
Updates the landing.pricing.tiers.{free|pro|pro_max}.f1 string in all
9 locales (de, en, es, fr, it, ja, pt-br, ru, zh-cn) with each
locale's native thousands separator (',' / '.' / ' ' depending on
convention).

Adds a transparent self-hosting path for users who would rather not
run Velxio's prebuilt libqemu binaries. The prebuilts have always
been a convenience under the AGPLv3 license; this just documents
how to skip them.
- docs/BUILD-QEMU.md as the canonical step-by-step (dependencies per
Debian/Arch/macOS, ESP32 xtensa + ESP32-C3 riscv32 configure-and-
ninja, drop-in instructions, troubleshooting, license notes on the
QEMU/Velxio GPL-vs-AGPL boundary).
- DocsPage gets a new 'build-qemu' section between Setup and Roadmap
in the sidebar. Content is hardcoded English (technical reference,
not marketing copy) and ends with a link to the .md on GitHub.
- nav + SEO meta keys added to all 9 locales (de en es fr it ja
pt-br ru zh-cn). Body remains English in every locale; technical
content doesn't need translation for the audience that follows it.

The /pricing page exists (PricingPlaceholder upstream, real PricingPage
portal-mounted by the private overlay) but had no entry in the top nav.
Adds 'pricing' to header.nav in all 9 locales (de, en, es, fr, it, ja,
pt-br, ru, zh-cn), wires the Link in AppHeader between About and Blog,
and mirrors the link in the landing-page footer.

A new entry in the games category for the Raspberry Pi Pico. Renders
a first-person 3D corridor à la Wolfenstein / early Doom using a
column-wise DDA raycaster — 160 rays per frame drawn straight to a
320×240 ILI9341 TFT via drawFastVLine, no framebuffer. 16×16 tile map
with 5 wall palettes (slate, blood, brown, toxic green, bronze door),
darkened on NS faces so corners read in 3D. Forward / back move,
two more buttons turn the player. 40-px HUD bar.
Why a demo, not the canonical id Software Doom: Graham Sanderson's
rp2040-doom port shoehorns DOOM1.WAD into 2 MB of flash with custom
compression and pushes video out over PIO-driven DVI / VGA — none of
that survives the rp2040js emulator (no PIO accuracy, no flash
mapping for huge assets). A raycaster reproduces the *visual* of
early Doom using only ~67 KB of flash and 9 KB of RAM, which the
emulator runs perfectly.
Pre-flight: arduino-cli compile against rp2040:rp2040:rpipico
already verified inside the Velxio backend container — 3 % flash,
3 % RAM. The Adafruit_GFX + Adafruit_ILI9341 libs the example
declares are already in the gallery's auto-install list.
Bundled:
test/pico_doom_demo/arduino_sketch.ino — source of truth sketch
test/pico_doom_demo/README.md — what + why + pin map
test/pico_doom_demo/compile_check.sh — operator script that
runs arduino-cli against the same FQBN the prod backend uses
frontend/src/data/examples.ts — gallery entry (boardType
raspberry-pi-pico, category games, difficulty advanced, 5
components, 14 wires)
frontend/src/__tests__/examples-pico-doom.test.ts — 10 vitest
assertions: example is registered exactly once, target board /
category / difficulty match, libraries declared, all four
pushbuttons present, every wire endpoint references a real
component id, SPI pin mapping matches the sketch's #define
block, every button has a GND wire, the renderFrame loop is
still present in the embedded code.
Renders a 200×150 px overview of the whole 4000×3000 world in the
bottom-right corner of .canvas-content. Boards show as filled blue
rectangles, components as small white dots, and the current viewport
appears as an outlined rectangle the user can drag to pan.
Geometry mirrors the canvas's existing pan+zoom model:
SCALE_X = MINIMAP_W / WORLD_W = 0.05
rect.x = -pan.x / zoom * SCALE_X
rect.w = viewport.width / zoom * SCALE_X
Two interaction modes, decided at pointerdown by hit-testing the
rectangle:
- Inside the rect → drag-pan: keep updating pan as the pointer
moves, with delta in minimap-px converted back to world units
by (delta / SCALE) * zoom.
- Outside the rect → teleport: re-center the viewport on the
clicked world point.
Pan is clamped so the viewport rectangle never escapes the minimap
bounds (matches the canvas's implicit world boundaries at 4000×3000).
ResizeObserver on the canvas-content keeps the rect accurate when
the user toggles side panels or resizes the window.
Mobile: at ≤720 px width the minimap shrinks to 140×105 px so it
doesn't eat too much of the canvas. Touch events go through the same
pointerdown / pointermove path — no separate touch code path needed
thanks to Pointer Events.
Bundles with: matching CSS file, import + JSX hookup inside
.canvas-content's render tree.
Two small fixes that compound:
1. Drop LLM model names from the landing AI section. The agent
auto-routes between several providers (9router combo, direct
DeepSeek, direct Gemini, future-others) and naming any of them on
the homepage misleads visitors. Replace "DeepSeek-V4-Flash and
Gemini 2.5 under the hood" with "frontier LLMs auto-routed for
cost and reliability" so the marketing line stays accurate as the
provider mix changes.
2. Pricing copy switches from absolute message counts (300/day,
700/day — small, intimidating, hard to anchor) to comparative
multipliers (Pro = 20×, Pro Max = 50×). Visitors instinctively
read these as "much more" without needing to count usage. The
multipliers reflect the new backend quotas (400/day, 1000/day,
committed separately in velxio-prod's pro overlay).
3. --color-bg-canvas moves from gray-1000 (#000000) to gray-950
(#0a0a0c). Pure black collided with the slightly-lighter card
surface (gray-900 #141416) and produced a harsh transition wherever
a `min-height: 100vh` page wrapper grew taller than its content —
visible on docs and user-profile pages with sparse content. The
2-luminance-step shift removes the jarring while keeping the dark
palette feel intact. gray-1000 stays in the scale for intentional
black uses.
All 9 locales updated for (1) and (2).
Two new sections on the landing page, between Features and Support:
1. "Powered by AI agents" — three cards explaining the in-editor agent
(place & wire parts, generate code, diagnose circuits). Calls out
DeepSeek-V4-Flash + Gemini 2.5 as the LLM backbone so visitors know
the simulator does more than draw boxes.
2. "Pricing" — three cards summarising Free / Pro / Pro Max with the
actual monthly cost, the daily AI-message quota, and a CTA per
tier. Pro is highlighted as Most Popular. Free CTA opens the editor,
the two paid CTAs link to /pricing where the PayPal subscription
flow lives.
The simulator itself stays free — only the AI-agent quota changes per
tier — that copy is repeated in the section subtitle so visitors don't
worry about the boards/components becoming paywalled.
All 9 locales translated.
Closes the long-standing "components are frozen during simulation"
complaint. Once the user clicked Run, interactive wokwi parts
(pushbuttons, slide-switches, potentiometers …) called
stopPropagation in their bubble-phase mousedown handlers and the
canvas's React onMouseDown never fired — so dragging them to
rearrange the layout was impossible without first stopping the sim.
Two surgical changes:
1. DynamicComponent.tsx switches the wrapper from `onMouseDown` to
`onMouseDownCapture`. Capture phase runs before the inner
wokwi-element, so the canvas sees the mousedown regardless of
stopPropagation downstream. The existing posDiff < 5 check in
mouseup keeps disambiguating click vs drag: a click still falls
through to the wokwi-element's own mousedown/up for button-press
semantics, only sustained movement promotes to a drag.
2. SimulatorCanvas.tsx's touch path used to early-return on touchstart
when interactionRunning + .web-component-container, killing any
chance of a touch-drag. Now we remember the touch's start position
in pendingTouchDragRef and let the browser keep synthesizing mouse
events for the wokwi-element. If the finger drifts past
DRAG_PROMOTE_THRESHOLD_PX (8 px) onTouchMove cancels the
passthrough and starts a real component drag — dispatching a
synthesized mouseup on the original target so the wokwi-element
doesn't stay visually pressed mid-drag.
Adds a two-card section at the foot of the landing page (before the
brand footer) that surfaces Velxio's licensing model: AGPLv3 for the
public release, commercial license for teams that need to ship
Velxio inside closed-source products. Mirrors the existing
.feature-card visual language so it slots into the page without a
new design system.
Commercial CTA opens a mailto:info@velxio.dev. Open-source CTA links
to GitHub via the existing trackVisitGitHub handler so the analytics
event still fires.
All 9 locales translated.
In digital / analog board-less examples the user clicks a slide-switch
or pushbutton expecting it to flip its state. Until this commit the
component property dialog opened instead and the click never reached
the wokwi-element underneath, so:
- The user couldn't change switch state through the canvas at all.
- With no state change the SPICE solver kept the old netlist, and
every downstream LED stayed dark — the symptom that read as
"voltages change but no LED lights".
Root cause was the gating: SimulatorCanvas only suppressed the
property dialog when `useSimulatorStore.running` was true, but that
flag is bound to an MCU's start/stop. Board-less circuits have no MCU
to start so `running` is permanently false, even when the SPICE engine
has been live since the example loaded.
New derived flag `interactionRunning = running || (boards.length === 0
&& !electricalPaused)` — true whenever the user is in an "interactive"
session, MCU or SPICE-only. Used in three click-handling paths:
- SimulatorCanvas mouse-up handler: dialog is suppressed and the
click falls through to the wokwi-element (line 1395).
- SimulatorCanvas touch-start passthrough: same for touch (line 474).
- SimulatorCanvas touch-end short-tap: same for tap (line 774).
Also propagated to DynamicComponent so the cursor becomes pointer (not
move) for interactive parts in board-less mode — visual cue that the
user can click instead of just drag.

Rotating a part with the 90° button used to leave every wire pinned to
the pre-rotation pixel coordinates — the component visually unhooked
from its cables. Two paths were missing:
1. useSimulatorStore.updateComponent only triggered updateWirePositions
for x/y changes. A rotation went through properties.rotation, so
wires never recomputed.
2. calculatePinPosition didn't know about rotation. Even when called,
it returned the unrotated offset, so the new endpoints would still
have been wrong.
3. recordRotate (undo/redo) skipped updateWirePositions on both legs,
so Ctrl+Z after a rotate left the canvas inconsistent.
Fix:
- calculatePinPosition gets a 5th `rotation` argument. When non-zero,
it finds the .dynamic-component-wrapper ancestor in the DOM, reads
its offsetWidth/Height (layout-only, immune to CSS transforms) to
locate the wrapper centre, and applies a 2D rotation matrix around
that pivot. The wrapper top-left is recovered as (componentX - 4,
componentY - 6) to match the offset convention updateWirePositions
already uses.
- updateWirePositions and recalculateAllWirePositions read the per-
component rotation and thread it through.
- updateComponent recomputes wires whenever properties.rotation
changes, mirroring the existing x/y path.
- recordRotate.execute and .undo both call updateWirePositions so
Ctrl+Z keeps the canvas coherent.
Tests (pin-position-rotation.test.ts, 6 cases): unrotated identity,
90° (left edge → bottom), 180° (point reflection), 360° round-trip,
negative angles, and a store-level integration that rotates a fake
component and asserts wires[0].start moves to the rotated coordinate.

Closes the remaining gaps in cross-board I2C so any topology of
supported boards (Uno↔ESP32, two ESP32s, Uno↔Uno↔Uno, ESP32-C3
connected to anything, etc.) works end-to-end with all I2C
components including write-only sinks (SSD1306, PCF8574, LCD-I2C).
Implementation (6 phases):
1. **BFS routing in I2CBusManager**: connectToSlave + handleExternalConnect
walk the bridge graph with a visited Set so multi-hop chains
(A↔B↔C with the device on C) resolve transparently. A new
forwarder-device shim is installed at intermediate hops so the
existing handleExternalWrite/Read/Stop machinery routes
through without per-method visited tracking.
2. **Per-peer proxy ownership in Esp32BridgeShim**: replaces the
global _proxiedAddrs Set with _proxiedByPeer Map so concurrent
bridges to the same ESP32 (e.g. wired to both Uno and Pico)
don't wipe each other's proxies on teardown. Interconnect's
per-wire teardown calls clearProxiesForPeer(peerBus) instead of
clearAllProxies.
3. **BFS-aware proxy sync**: syncProxyFromPeer now walks the peer
bus + its transitive bridges, so an ESP32 sees devices on
boards two or more hops away. _peerDeviceLookup keeps a flat
addr → device map for write-forwarding and resync.
4. **Periodic resync (250 ms)**: Esp32BridgeShim runs a setInterval
while any proxy is live, re-dumping each device with
dumpRegisters() and pushing updateProxyI2c only when an XOR-
stride hash changes. This keeps RTC time advancing visible to
ESP32 firmware without flooding the WS pipe with static
calibration dumps. Hash is primed during initial sync so the
first tick doesn't push a redundant identical buffer.
5. **Write-forwarding ProxySlave → peer**: backend ProxySlave
buffers write bytes during the transaction and emits a
`proxy_i2c_complete` event on STOP / repeated-START. Frontend
Esp32Bridge dispatches the event to a new onProxyI2cComplete
callback; the shim replays the byte sequence on the actual
peer I2CDevice via writeByte() + stop(). Makes ESP32 firmware
writes to peer SSD1306 actually repaint the OLED, peer PCF8574
latch updates, peer I2CMemoryDevice register mutations propagate.
6. **ESP32-C3 routed as bridge**: Interconnect.isBrowserSim no
longer claims c3/xiao-c3/c3-supermini — they were already
going through Esp32Bridge per the store's ESP32_RISCV_KINDS
routing, but Interconnect was treating them as browser sims
which broke proxy install. isEsp32Bridge now correctly
includes c3 family + ESP32-S3 + Arduino Nano ESP32.
Defensive: addBoard now disposes any existing shim's proxies
before overwriting simulatorMap entry so test reruns don't leak
timers.
Tests:
- 4 BFS multi-hop tests (i2c-multi-board-slave-gap.test.ts)
- 11 cross-board scenarios + per-peer + write-forward + resync
(i2c-esp32-multiboard-bridge.test.ts)
- 1 real-firmware E2E for write-forward via QEMU (compile +
load + observe proxy_i2c_complete arriving with the byte)
- New sketch fixture: esp32_i2c_write_to_peer.ino
Result: 90 test files / 1295 tests pass / 0 fail.

Adds the transactional email pipeline driven from the Odoo SMTP relay so
new sign-ups get a Velxio-branded welcome and existing users can reset a
forgotten password without us running our own outbound mail server.
Backend:
- PasswordResetToken model: one-time, SHA-256-hashed (plain text never on
disk), TTL 60 min, marked used_at on consume to prevent replay.
- POST /auth/forgot-password — anti-enumeration (always 200 + generic
message), rate-limited 3/hour/user.
- POST /auth/reset-password — verifies token, hashes new password,
atomically marks token used.
- /auth/register hooked with asyncio.create_task to fire welcome mail —
registration is never blocked on Odoo being up.
- New service app/services/odoo_mail.py: async httpx wrapper, fire-and-
forget, swallows every error so the request lifecycle stays clean.
- Settings ODOO_URL / ODOO_API_KEY / ODOO_MAIL_TIMEOUT_S /
PASSWORD_RESET_TOKEN_TTL_MINUTES / PASSWORD_RESET_RATE_LIMIT_PER_HOUR.
Frontend:
- /forgot-password page (single email field + "check your inbox" state).
- /reset-password?token=XYZ page (new password + confirmation, redirects
to /login?reset=ok on success).
- "Forgot your password?" link + green confirmation banner on /login.
- authService gains requestPasswordReset() and resetPassword().

- Implemented `i2c-esp32-real-firmware.test.ts` to test ESP32 I2C communication via backend and WebSocket.
- Created `load-example-transitions.test.ts` to ensure proper loading of examples between board-less and board-based contexts.
- Added `CircuitVerificationModal.tsx` to display circuit verification results before running simulations.
- Developed `circuitVerifier.ts` to perform pre-flight checks for circuit safety, identifying potential issues like short circuits and component overloads.
- Introduced minimal ESP32 I2C master sketch `esp32_i2c_writer.ino` for testing I2C transactions.
- Implement HD44780Decoder for decoding I2C commands to HD44780-compatible LCDs.
- Add bmp280_bridge_reader.ino to read BMP280 chip_id and status registers via I2C.
- Create i2c_scanner_multi.ino to scan I2C addresses and report responding devices.
- Introduce lcd_i2c_hello.ino to demonstrate basic LCD functionality with I2C.
- Implement pcf8574_bidirectional.ino to test bidirectional communication with PCF8574.
- Add pico_i2c_master_reader.ino for reading BMP280 from a Raspberry Pi Pico.
- Create rtc_lcd_clock.ino to display time from a DS1307 RTC on an I2C LCD.
Replace Unix-only shell one-liner (mkdir -p / printf / cp -r) with a
Node.js ESM script (scripts/copy-monaco.mjs) that works on Windows,
macOS and Linux alike. The script still writes public/monaco/.gitignore
to keep copied assets out of git.
- postinstall now writes a '*' .gitignore into public/monaco/ so the
copied monaco-editor assets are never tracked as untracked files
- Also add public/monaco/ to frontend/.gitignore as a belt-and-suspenders
fallback for the same reason
- Add color picker button to SelectionActionBar for wire selections
- Toggle palette using WIRE_KEY_COLORS swatches
- Pass currentColor and onColorChange from SimulatorCanvas
- Reset showPalette on kind/onColorChange change (Copilot suggestion)
- Use t('editor.selectionBar.changeColor') for title/aria-label (Copilot suggestion)
- Add changeColor i18n key to all 9 locale files

loadMicroPythonProgram only forwarded main.py (or files[0]) to the
bridge for raw-paste injection. Any auxiliary module the project
imported (mylib.py, drivers, etc.) never reached the device, so
`import mylib` died with ModuleNotFoundError.
Build a Python prelude that writes every other .py file to the
MicroPython filesystem via raw REPL, then runs main.py in the same
paste. JSON.stringify produces an ASCII-safe Python-compatible string
literal for the file body, which keeps the prelude inside the existing
chunked-UART path Esp32Bridge already uses to feed the 128-byte FIFO.
The RP2040 path was already multi-file via sim.loadMicroPython(files),
so it stays untouched.
Reproduces with the project shared in the bug report:
https://velxio.dev/project/ac7e285c-8dc3-4d51-8751-b4aba9912f9e
Block 9 added `const { t } = useTranslation()` at line 50 but forgot the
matching `import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next'`. The component
then crashes the moment a user clicks a sensor on the canvas with
`Uncaught ReferenceError: useTranslation is not defined`, taking the
whole simulator render tree down.
components-metadata.json is shaped { version, components: [...] }, not a
flat array. The previous test assumed the latter and crashed on
default.find at module load on master, breaking CI for every PR.
The common bundle ballooned to 30KB after Block 15 added the AboutPage
prose, putting Russian translations past DeepSeek's 8192-token output
cap. The editor + about sub-trees (the two heaviest, ~15KB combined)
move to a new common2.json file. Both files now sit at 12-18KB and
translate cleanly.
i18n bootstrap merges common2 into the same common namespace at
load time and lazy-loads it per locale, so every existing t('editor.*')
and t('about.*') call keeps resolving without source changes.
All 9 locales regenerated via DeepSeek. Closes the gap left by the
Blocks 15+16 commit where only zh-cn/common had been refreshed.

AboutPage: ~28 prose blocks across Story / How It Works / Open Source /
Creator / Releases / Quote / Community sections; <Trans> for paragraphs
with inline <strong>, <em>, <a> markup.
15 SEO landing pages now use t() for all user-facing copy under
seo.<page>.* keys: CircuitSimulatorPage, SpiceSimulatorPage,
ElectronicsSimulatorPage, CustomChipSimulatorPage, Attiny85SimulatorPage,
ArduinoSimulatorPage, ArduinoEmulatorPage, AtmegaSimulatorPage,
ArduinoMegaSimulatorPage, Esp32SimulatorPage, Esp32S3SimulatorPage,
Esp32C3SimulatorPage, RaspberryPiPicoSimulatorPage,
RaspberryPiSimulatorPage. Code blocks, FQBNs, JSON-LD schema strings
intentionally stay in English.
The seo bundle (67KB English source) is split into 4 balanced files
(seo.json + seo2.json + seo3.json + seo4.json, ~17KB each) so each
DeepSeek translation request stays inside the 8192-token output cap.
i18n bootstrap merges all 4 halves under the seo.* keyspace.
Translations: 8 locales × 4 seo bundles all regenerated via DeepSeek.
common.json (now 30KB after about additions) only has zh-cn refreshed
so far — the remaining 7 locales' common.json need a follow-up pass
(the bundle is at the edge of DeepSeek's output limit).

A user reported on Discord: "the Velxio Console doesn't update anything,
it just waits until the very end and displays everything in one go".
True for the async compile path — /compile/status only carried `state`
and the final `result`, so the editor's CompilationConsole stayed empty
during the 5-7 minute cold ESP-IDF builds and dumped 1500 lines at once
when the build finished.
This wires live build output through the whole stack.
Backend (espidf_compiler.py)
- New _run_with_streaming() helper. When a progress_callback is provided
it spawns the subprocess via Popen + stdout/stderr drain threads and
invokes the callback line-by-line. When None it falls back to the
existing subprocess.run(capture_output=True) one-shot path so the
unit-test code that doesn't care about live output is unaffected.
- compile() and _compile_in_dir() take an optional ProgressCallback.
- _run_cmake / _run_ninja closures now go through _run_with_streaming
with that callback. cmake configure (~2-5 s) + ninja (~5-300+ s) both
stream now; the ninja output is the one users actually want to watch.
Backend (compile.py)
- _compile_job seeds COMPILE_JOBS[id]['stdout_buffer'] = '' and defines
on_progress_line(line) which appends to it. Buffer capped at 256 KB
(tail kept) so a runaway build can't OOM the FastAPI process.
- The buffer is preserved on both the success and the error path so
late polls still see the log even after state transitions to
done/error.
- /compile/status now returns the buffer as a `stdout` field.
CompileStatusResponse gains the field with default '' so old clients
that don't read it still work.
Frontend (compilation.ts)
- compileCode() takes a 4th argument: optional CompileProgress
callback fired every poll while state ∈ {pending, running}. Carries
the cumulative stdout (caller computes deltas) plus elapsed seconds.
- Surfaces the new `stdout` field of /compile/status and forwards it
to the callback. Errors thrown from the callback are swallowed —
a faulty UI hook must never break the polling loop.
Frontend (EditorToolbar.tsx)
- Both compileCode() call sites (Run and Compile-All) now pass an
onProgress callback. It tracks `lastStreamedLen` per-compile, splits
each new delta on newlines, and appends them as `info`-typed
CompilationLog entries via setCompileLogs. The Compile-All flow
prefixes each line with the board label so multi-board builds stay
readable.
- After the build settles, the existing parseCompileResult call still
runs and appends the structured analysis on top of the live stream
— that's where FAILED-block detection + the `error`-typed entries
that drive the auto-switch-to-errors filter live.
Net effect on the user complaint: cold ESP-IDF builds now show the
ninja [N/1483] progress lines streaming into the console as they
happen, instead of staring at an empty panel for 5-7 minutes.

Wire useTranslation() + Trans into DocsPage.tsx. ~330 user-facing
strings across 13 sections (intro, getting-started, emulator, riscv,
esp32, rp2040, rpi3, components, roadmap, architecture, third-party,
mcp, setup) plus sidebar nav + page chrome are now keyed under docs.*.
Strings with inline <a>, <code>, <strong>, <em> use the <Trans/>
component with mapped slots; bare prose uses t().
Code blocks, FQBNs, hex addresses, library names visible as link text,
and JSON-LD schema strings stay in English on purpose.
Internal Link to=... wrapped with localize() so /es/docs/... etc.
keep their locale prefix.
The English docs bundle is split in half (docs.json ~22KB +
docs2.json ~22KB) so each fits inside DeepSeek's 8192-token output
window. The i18n bootstrap merges both halves into the docs.* keyspace
under the default common namespace.
All 9 locales regenerated via DeepSeek (parallel run for the two
namespaces).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Wire useTranslation() into Velxio2Page and Velxio25Page: hero badge,
accent, subtitle, CTAs, board/example/outcome cards, OSS section, and
footer links all keyed under landing.v2.* and landing.v25.*.
Split en/common.json (34KB) into common.json (25KB) + releases.json
(9KB) so each translation request stays inside DeepSeek's 8192-token
output cap. i18n bootstrap merges both bundles into the default common
namespace at load time, lazy loader fetches both per locale.
translate-i18n.mjs: set max_tokens=8192 + response_format json_object
on the DeepSeek call so future bundles closer to the cap don't get
silently truncated.
All 9 locales regenerated via DeepSeek (fr/de/es/it/pt-br/zh-cn/ja/ru).

Closes the Phase 2 i18n rollout. Every visitor- and user-facing
surface velxio renders in normal use now reads from t().
AdminPage (admin-only)
- Header (panel title, logout) and the four tabs (Dashboard /
Users / Projects / Boards).
- Setup screen for first-admin creation (title, body, password
fields + mismatch error + create-admin button).
- Not-admin gate page.
- EditUserModal (title, four labels, admin/active toggles,
cancel/save).
- UsersTab: search placeholder, count pluralisation, all 12
table columns, Activity / Edit / Delete actions, empty state,
delete-confirm prompt with username interpolation.
- ProjectsTab: search placeholder, count pluralisation, all 9
table columns, public/private badge labels, delete action +
confirm with project-name interpolation, empty state.
- All error messages (load failed / save failed / delete failed)
fall back through t().
UserProfilePage
- "New project" CTA, loading + empty + not-found states,
"Private" project badge, "Copy shareable link" tooltip.
- The /editor link uses localize() so /es/<username>'s "New
project" button stays in Spanish.
PricingPlaceholder
- Title + the two paragraphs (self-hosted note + hosted Pro
tier note + GitHub source note). Inline links wrapped via
the Trans component so the link surface stays clickable in
every locale without each translation having to re-write the
HTML.
EditorPage shell
- Mobile bottom-tab labels (Code / Circuit), file-explorer
toggle (Show / Hide), View mode aria-label, view-mode
segmented control labels (Code / Both / Circuit), and the
three "Drag to resize" handle tooltips on the panel splitters.
Translations
- en.json hand-curated for the new keys.
- All 8 non-English locales auto-translated via the existing
`npm run translate:i18n` pipeline (DeepSeek, ~5 min for the
whole bundle, sameShape() validates each output before write).
This closes Phase 2 of i18n. Phase 3 (DocsPage prose, AboutPage
long-form paragraphs, the 15 SEO landing pages) is deliberately
deferred — Docs/About are best handled by extracting the prose
into JSON keys and running the same script, while the SEO pages
are intentionally optimised for English keyword targeting and
should not be machine-translated en masse.
This commit closes the cluster of small editor surfaces that touch
the active simulation experience. Every visible control on these
panels now reads from t() keys.
Translated:
- Oscilloscope panel (title, Add Channel button + tooltip, Time/div
label, Run / Pause toggle copy + tooltips, Clear, empty-state copy
+ hint, per-channel remove tooltip).
- ComponentPropertyDialog (close, pin-roles header with two
wire-mode variants, Arduino Pin label, rotate / delete buttons +
the inline confirm-delete prompt with name interpolation).
- SelectionActionBar (toolbar aria-label, Rotate / Delete / Deselect
with kind-aware delete labels for wire / component / board).
- CompilationConsole (Output title, error / warning badge counts
with i18next pluralisation, filter dropdown, autoscroll label,
Clear + Close icon tooltips, empty-state).
- CustomChipDialog (header with chipName interpolation, Examples /
Editor tabs, Attributes panel header, compile status messages
including the "✓ Compiled — N KB" success line, footer
Cancel / Save & Place / Compile first buttons).
- SensorControlPanel (close button).
- BoardPickerModal (Add Board heading).
Translation pipeline
- en.json gets the new keys hand-curated.
- The 8 non-English locales were auto-translated via DeepSeek
using the existing scripts/translate-i18n.mjs pipeline (one
--force run, ~1 min total). Output validated with sameShape()
before write so any LLM-introduced key drift would have failed
loudly.
Quality note
- DeepSeek's translations now cover the entire bundle, including
earlier hand-translated content. Tone may differ slightly from
the prior hand passes but the meaning is consistent and brand /
technical terms (Velxio, ngspice-WASM, ATmega328P, ESP32-C3,
etc.) are preserved unchanged in every locale per the prompt
invariants.
InstallLibrariesModal — auto-install prompt that fires when an
example needs libraries:
- Title, subtitle (with the "Installing X of Y" progress
interpolation, the all-done success state, and the singular /
plural prompt explaining the requirement count).
- Per-row status badges (pending / installing… / installed /
error) plus the Wokwi-hosted-library tooltip.
- Footer buttons: Close / Skip / "Install All ({{count}})" with
loading variant.
SerialMonitor — multi-board tabbed serial console:
- Empty-state when no board is on the canvas.
- Right-side tab controls: Autoscroll checkbox, Clear button +
tooltip.
- The "(Open IoT Gateway)" inline link rendered next to detected
AP IP addresses.
- Output-area placeholders for the running-but-no-data and
before-start states.
- Send button + input placeholder (different copy for MicroPython
REPL vs raw Serial input).
- The line-ending dropdown options (None / Newline / Carriage
return / Both).
Hand-translated for all 9 locales. Hotkeys (Ctrl+C) and dropdown
values stay untranslated (constants the firmware reads).
Pending in Phase 3:
- Oscilloscope panel, custom-chip dialog, sensor control panel.
- ComponentPropertyDialog (per-component property forms).
- Admin / Profile / Project pages.
- Long-form docs prose (DocsPage 2715 lines, AboutPage long
paragraphs).
- 15 SEO landing pages (intentionally English for keyword targeting).
ComponentPickerModal — the "Add Component" dialog:
- Header (title + close button), search input placeholder + clear,
category tabs (All Components / Boards), loading + empty-state
copy, "Clear filters" button.
LibraryManagerModal — the Arduino library browser:
- Window title, Search / Installed tabs, filter input placeholder.
- Search-tab states: searching-for-query, generic loading, no
results (with optional query interpolation).
- Per-library row: "by {{author}}" caption, Install / Installing /
Uninstall / Uninstalling button labels.
- Installed-tab empty-state with the prompt to use the Search tab.
Brand and product names left untouched ("LIBRARY MANAGER" stays
all-caps in English; the localised variants follow each language's
convention for product UI titles). Hand-translated for all 9
locales.
InstallLibrariesModal still pending — it's the auto-install
prompt that fires when an example needs libraries; smaller scope
but lives in the same area.
The /examples gallery is fully localised:
- Header (heading + subtitle).
- Search input placeholder + aria-label + the clear button.
- Match-count tag with i18next pluralisation (handles _one /
_other and Russian's _few / _many).
- Category and Difficulty filter labels + their button labels
(basics / sensors / displays / communication / games / robotics
/ circuits; beginner / intermediate / advanced).
- Per-card "Copy shareable link" tooltip.
- Empty-state copy with two variants (with-search / without-
search) interpolating the search query.
- Reset-filters button.
- The library-install progress overlay copy from
ExamplesPage.tsx ("Installing libraries (N/M)") with done/total
interpolation.
Internal /editor link uses localize() so a Spanish reader who
clicks an example lands on /es/editor.
Hand-translated for all 8 non-English locales. Per-example titles
+ descriptions are NOT i18n yet — they live in the
src/data/examples* tables and would need a separate pipeline.
DocsPage (2715 lines of prose) deferred too — best handled by
running scripts/translate-i18n.mjs once the keys are extracted.
The visible chrome of /about now reads from i18n in all 9 locales:
- Hero title + subtitle
- 7 section headings (Story / How It Works / Open Source Philosophy /
Creator / Recent releases / Community & Press / CTA)
- Final CTA card (title, subtitle, "Open Editor" button)
- Footer copy switched to t('footer.about') so it shows the AGPLv3
About-Velxio paragraph instead of the stale MIT/avr8js credit
- Footer + CTA Links wrapped in localize() so /es/about's "Open Editor"
routes to /es/editor
Long-form prose (Story body paragraphs, Open Source Philosophy
paragraphs, Creator bio, Releases blurbs, Personal-story quote, Press
section) deliberately stays in English in this commit. Each is a
multi-paragraph chunk that benefits from a curated translation pass
rather than an inline machine pass — slate it for a follow-up.
Tech-stack tags (Java, Python, React, Docker, etc.) and the creator's
name + role + GitHub/LinkedIn/Medium link captions stay untranslated:
all proper nouns / brand identifiers.
Both auth forms now go through t('auth.login.*') and
t('auth.register.*'):
- Title + subtitle, email / password / username labels with
username placeholder and password-min-length placeholder.
- Submit button toggles between idle and loading states.
- "or" divider, "Continue with Google" button, and the
switch-to-other-form footer link.
- Inline validation errors: reserved username, username regex,
password length, plus the generic catch-all from the API.
Internal /editor and /login / /register links wrapped in
localize() so a Spanish user who registers stays at /es/editor
after success.
AboutPage (519 lines) deferred to its own commit — too dense for
the same change.
The canvas header (the bar above the simulation area) and the
"Remove board?" confirmation dialog now read from i18n.
Translated:
- Status dot tooltip (Running / Stopped).
- Active board selector tooltip + "No board" placeholder + the
hint that prompts the user to add a board.
- Undo / Redo buttons: aria-label, dynamic title with the action
description and the empty-state fallback. Action descriptions
themselves stay untranslated (they come from the editor history
store as English literals — translating them would mean reaching
into a different store; deferred).
- Serial Monitor and Oscilloscope toggles (button title + label).
- Zoom in / out / reset-view buttons.
- Component count tooltip + Add Component button.
- The error-banner Dismiss button.
- "Remove board" item in the right-click menu, with a localised
"(N wires)" parenthetical via i18next pluralisation.
- The full removal confirmation dialog: title with board label
interpolation, body copy with optional connected-wires sentence,
Cancel + Remove buttons.
Pluralisation uses i18next's _one / _other (and _few / _many for
Russian) suffixes so wire counts read naturally per language.
Hand-translated for all 8 non-English locales. Untouched (deferred):
the property dialog, custom-chip dialog, sensor control panel, and
the various inline tooltips on board pins and wire endpoints —
those are denser and benefit from a separate pass.
The three modal dialogs that fire during the editor's routine save +
share + auth-required flows are now fully localised across all 9
locales.
LoginPromptModal
- Title, body, and the three buttons (Sign in / Create account /
Cancel). Sign in / Sign up Links use localize() so a Spanish
reader prompted to log in lands at /es/login rather than dropping
back to English.
SaveProjectModal
- Title (toggles between Save / Update), name + description fields
with placeholders, save button (toggles between Save / Update /
Saving…), Cancel button.
- Visibility toggle: Public / Private label + hint copy under the
icon.
- All four error paths now go through t() with a {{status}}
interpolation for the generic HTTP failure message.
ShareModal
- Title, public/private label + hint pair, "Make private" /
"Make public" toggle, Copy button, the warning shown when the
project is private, and the Close button.
Hand-curated translations for all 8 non-English locales. Status
codes (403) and shortcut markers preserved.
FileExplorer (sidebar)
- Workspace header label and the new-workspace / save-project icon
buttons now read from t('editor.fileExplorer.*').
- Per-board section: collapse / expand toggle, status dot tooltip
(Running / Compiled / Idle), per-board "new file" button, and the
composite "<board name> — click to edit" hover title (the board
name itself stays untranslated — it's a product noun like
"Arduino Uno").
- File rows: hover title with optional "(unsaved)" suffix,
unsaved-dot tooltip, and the right-click context menu's Rename /
Delete commands.
- Empty-state placeholder when no boards are on the canvas.
- The window.confirm() shown before deleting a file now reads from
t() too, so non-English users see the prompt in their language.
FileTabs (open-tabs strip above the editor)
- Per-tab close button title and the unsaved-changes dot tooltip.
- Inline confirm dialog when closing a modified file: prompt copy,
"Close anyway" and "Cancel" buttons.
Hand-translated for all 9 locales. Hotkey hints (Ctrl+S, Strg+S)
localised per German convention; other locales keep "Ctrl+S" as the
universally-recognised label.
The top toolbar of the editor is now fully localised — compile / run /
stop / reset, the compile-all / run-all variants when multiple boards
are open, the language-mode select, libraries / import / export /
upload-firmware actions, and the missing-library hint banner.
Strings live under editor.toolbar.* in src/i18n/locales/<locale>/common.json.
Hand-translated for all 8 non-English locales. Brand and product
names (Arduino, MicroPython, Ctrl+B, .hex / .bin / .elf / .ihex,
GitHub Sponsors) preserved as-is.
Editor strings still pending: file explorer, file tabs, simulator
canvas, component picker, library manager modal, save / share /
project modals.
Final block. The Support section ("Support the project" / GitHub
Sponsors / Donate via PayPal) now reads from t('landing.support.*'),
and the footer link labels use t('header.nav.*') so they pick up
the same nav translations the header already ships.
This closes the LandingPage rewrite — every visitor-facing string
on velxio.dev/ goes through i18n now. Hand-translated for all 9
locales. "GitHub Sponsors" stays untranslated (proper product name).
Phase 2 remaining work:
- Editor (toolbar, file explorer, simulator canvas, component
picker, library manager, save/share modals, error toasts).
- About / Examples / Docs / Profile pages.
- Login + Register forms.
The Features section ("Everything you need") and the 6 cards
underneath (Real-Time SPICE Analog, 5 Emulation Engines, Custom Chips,
100+ Components, Live Instruments, Monaco Editor + arduino-cli) now
read from t('landing.features.<key>.{title,desc}') for all 9 locales.
Refactor:
- The `features` array in LandingPage.tsx no longer carries title/desc
literals — only an icon + a translation key. The render maps each
card's key to the matching i18n entry. Cleaner and keeps the JSX
structurally stable across languages.
Translations:
- All 8 non-English locales hand-curated. Technical / brand names
(ngspice-WASM, AVR8, ATmega328P, RP2040, ESP32-C3, CH32V003, QEMU,
Cortex-M0+/A53, ILI9341, NeoPixel, Wokwi Custom Chips API,
WebAssembly, .hex/.uf2/.bin, VS Code, arduino-cli) preserved
unchanged in every locale — those are precise nouns where any
translation would degrade meaning.
Replaces the visible header copy of the supported-hardware section
with t('landing.boards.*') keys:
- label "Supported Hardware"
- titleLine1 / titleLine2 ("Every architecture." / "One tool.")
- subtitle (the "19 boards across 5 CPU architectures..." paragraph)
The five engine cards underneath (avr8js, rp2040js, QEMU lcgamboa,
QEMU Xtensa, QEMU ARM) and per-board specs (e.g. "ATmega328p · 32 KB",
"RP2040 + WiFi") deliberately stay in English — those are accurate
technical specs / product names that don't translate, and mixing
locales inside a spec line would hurt readability more than it
helps.
Hand-curated translations for all 8 non-English locales.
Hero strings now go through `t('landing.hero.*')`:
- titleLine1 / titleAccent (split for the gradient span)
- subtitle (one paragraph; "19 boards / 48+ parts" stays inside the
string so locales can phrase the count naturally)
- ctaPrimary / ctaGithub
- trustLine (the "no signup / runs in browser / free & open-source"
reassurance line — was previously emitting NBSP-wrapped middle
dots; the localised versions use plain spaces, which is fine
visually)
- imageAlt (a11y for the editor screenshot)
Internal /editor link now goes through localize() so a Spanish reader
clicking the primary CTA stays at /es/editor instead of dropping
back to English.
Translations are hand-curated for all 8 non-English locales (es,
pt-br, it, fr, zh-cn, de, ja, ru). Brand names (Velxio, Arduino,
ESP32, Raspberry Pi, GitHub, AGPLv3) preserved as-is. The script
arrow "→" is kept in every locale because it carries directional
meaning that translates naturally across languages.
Block 2 (Boards / supported hardware), Block 3 (features grid),
Block 4 (Support / footer copy) and Editor strings still pending.
This is Phase 1 of multi-language support: the visible chrome (header,
footer, language switcher) and routing are wired up for all 9 locales
(en, es, pt-br, it, fr, zh-cn, de, ja, ru) — same set the blog at
velxio.dev/blog/ already supports. The Editor and the long-form
landing-page copy are still English-only and will be translated in a
follow-up.
Infrastructure
- frontend/src/i18n/config.ts: locale registry + LOCALE_META (htmlLang,
native name, og locale, dir). Mirrors pro/blog/src/i18n/config.ts so
cookie sync stays consistent.
- frontend/src/i18n/cookie.ts: read/write the velxio_locale cookie at
Path=/; Max-Age=1y; SameSite=Lax (Secure on HTTPS). The blog reads
the same cookie via an inline script in its Layout.astro.
- frontend/src/i18n/path.ts: getLocaleFromPath / stripLocaleFromPath /
localizedPath / switchLocale / blogUrlFor — match the blog's helpers
one-to-one.
- frontend/src/i18n/index.ts: i18next bootstrap. English bundle is
inlined synchronously for first paint; non-default locales are
lazy-loaded via dynamic import on demand. Initial locale is decided
in priority order URL > cookie > navigator > en.
- frontend/src/i18n/LocaleSync.tsx: top-level wrapper inside <Router>.
On every URL change loads the matching locale bundle, calls
i18n.changeLanguage, writes the cookie, and mirrors the locale onto
<html lang> and dir.
- frontend/src/i18n/useLocalizedNavigate.ts: useCurrentLocale,
useLocalizedHref, useLocalizedNavigate hooks for components that
build internal links.
Routing
- App.tsx: route table extracted to a single ROUTES array, then
registered twice — once at the root (default English) and once
nested under each non-default locale (`/<locale>/...`). Explicit
per-locale parent routes (rather than a generic `:lang` param) so
React Router never accidentally swallows a real top-level path
like `/circuit-simulator` as a locale segment.
Header / Footer
- LanguageSwitcher.tsx + .css: dropdown matching the blog's
LanguageSwitcher.astro. Globe icon + locale code on the trigger,
native names + ISO codes in the menu. Click → `switchLocale()`
rewrites the URL under the new locale; LocaleSync handles the
rest (load bundle, change language, write cookie).
- AppHeader.tsx: every nav label and the auth dropdown copy now
goes through `t('header.nav.*')`, `t('header.auth.*')`. All
internal Links wrapped with localize() so navigation stays
inside the active locale. Added a "Blog" link computed via
`blogUrlFor(currentLocale)` so /es/ → /blog/es/, etc.
- LandingPage.tsx: footer About-Velxio paragraph reads from
t('footer.about').
Translations (Phase 1 strings)
- frontend/src/i18n/locales/<locale>/common.json: nav labels, auth
buttons, footer About copy. Hand-translated for all 9 locales,
AGPLv3 / brand names preserved as-is.
Tooling
- frontend/scripts/translate-i18n.mjs: standalone Node script that
takes the en.json bundles and auto-translates them to the 8 other
locales via DeepSeek (primary) + Gemini (fallback). One LLM call
per (locale, namespace) pair. Run after extracting new strings
with `npm run translate:i18n`.
Phase 2 (deferred)
- Editor (toolbar, file explorer, simulator canvas, component picker,
library manager, error toasts) — hundreds of strings.
- Examples / Docs / About / Profile pages.
- The translate-i18n.mjs script is ready to handle these once the
strings have been extracted into JSON keys.
The previous footer credit ("MIT License · Powered by avr8js &
wokwi-elements") was wrong twice over: velxio is AGPLv3 (with a
commercial license available), and the project now ships much more
than the two libraries it singled out (rp2040js, eecircuit-engine,
QEMU, ESP-IDF, arduino-cli, Monaco editor, ...).
Replace it with a one-paragraph About Velxio that sits at the bottom
of the landing page, mirrors what the blog footer shows at
velxio.dev/blog/, and correctly states the AGPLv3 license.
Widen .footer-copy to max-width: 680px so the longer copy has room
to breathe and breaks across two lines on desktop.
The synchronous /api/compile endpoint forced one long-lived HTTP request
to span the entire build. Cloudflare's 100s edge timeout cuts that off
mid-flight for any cold ESP-IDF compile (BMP280 takes 5-7 min on first
run). The user-visible symptom was HTTP 524 well before the backend
even noticed.
Backend (compile.py)
- New `POST /api/compile/start` returns `{job_id}` immediately and
spawns the actual compile as an asyncio.create_task background.
- New `GET /api/compile/status/{job_id}` returns the current job state
(`pending` | `running` | `done` | `error`). Each poll completes in
milliseconds, far under any edge timeout.
- Existing `POST /api/compile/` kept verbatim for backward compatibility
(AVR/RP2040 builds finish in seconds and don't trip 524).
- Build logic extracted into `_run_compile()` so both paths share one
implementation; no duplicated ESP-IDF / arduino-cli branching.
- Async path opens its own short-lived DB session via AsyncSessionLocal
for metric recording — the request-scoped session is dead by the time
the background task finishes.
- COMPILE_JOBS dict purges entries 30 minutes after completion so a
busy server doesn't grow unboundedly.
Frontend (compilation.ts)
- compileCode() now: POST /compile/start → poll /compile/status every 2s
until state ∈ {done, error}, with a 15-minute client-side cap.
- 30s axios timeout per individual call (not per build) so transient
network blips during a long compile auto-retry instead of failing.
- 404 on /status throws (job expired / server restarted); other poll
errors warn and retry. Surfaces structured error responses verbatim
so the editor's compile-error panel keeps working unchanged.
Limitation: COMPILE_JOBS lives in-process; if velxio ever scales to
multiple FastAPI workers this needs to move to Redis or sqlite. Single-
instance is fine today.

Two distinct issues hit the component SVG generation step:
1. `velxio-bmp280` was in ELEMENTS but tries to require
bmp280-element.js from the wokwi-elements CJS dist — that file
doesn't exist because BMP280 is a velxio-native component, not a
wokwi one. Its SVG already ships hand-authored at
frontend/public/component-svgs/bmp280.svg, so the script should
never have tried to extract it. Drop the row and leave a comment
explaining why.
2. `wokwi-ssd1306` failed with "ImageData is not defined" because the
element constructor seeds an off-screen canvas with
`new ImageData(width, height)` — a browser API absent in Node.
We never invoke putImageData (renderSVG() draws the static frame
from scratch), so a minimal global stub that doesn't throw is all
that's needed. Polyfill it on globalThis next to the existing
customElements stub.
After this:
- 38 generated, 0 skipped, 0 failed (was: 1 skip, 1 fail).
- ssd1306.svg now ships in frontend/public/component-svgs/.
The hand-drawn SVGs in Bmp280Element.ts and Attiny85Element.ts were
functional but obviously amateur next to a real Fritzing-drawn part.
Both components now mount the equivalent Fritzing breadboard SVG as a
public static asset (`<image href>` in the shadow DOM SVG), with pin
coordinates remapped to the new artwork and pin-name labels overlaid
on top so the user can still read each connector at a glance.
frontend/public/component-svgs/bmp280.svg (new)
Verbatim copy of third-party/fritzing-parts/svg/core/breadboard/
bmp180_breadboard.svg. The Adafruit BMP180 breakout is the
mechanically identical Bosch predecessor — same I2C interface,
same 4-pin pinout. Pin labels lifted from the matching .fzp.
frontend/public/component-svgs/attiny85.svg (new)
Verbatim copy of the Fritzing ATtiny85 DIP-8 breadboard art.
Bmp280Element.ts
Width 80×100 px (Fritzing aspect 28.35:35.43 ≈ 0.8:1, exact uniform
scale of 2.822 px/mm). Pin coords for SDA / SCL / GND / VCC matched
to the connector centres in the source SVG. Pin labels overlaid on
top. Existing wired example (esp32-bmp280) re-routes automatically
because the wire system reads coords by pin name from pinInfo.
Attiny85Element.ts
Width 160×132 px (Fritzing aspect 28.801:23.768 ≈ 1.21:1, exact
uniform scale of 5.555 px/mm). The Fritzing layout puts pins on the
TOP and BOTTOM edges (4 each), not LEFT and RIGHT like the older
hand-drawn version. Pin coords land on clean numbers
(x ∈ {20, 60, 100, 140}, y ∈ {6, 126}). Built-in LED on PB1 stays
as an overlaid circle outside the chip body.
Wires in the existing attiny85-* examples re-route automatically by
pin name; external components positioned to the right of the chip
may need a manual nudge for clean routing — but they work.
frontend/src/components/simulator/BoardOnCanvas.tsx
attiny85: { w: 160, h: 100 } → { w: 160, h: 132 } to match the new
aspect ratio. Same width as before so the chip occupies the same
horizontal slot in existing example layouts.
scripts/component-overrides.json
BMP280 thumbnail updated to mirror the Fritzing colour scheme
(dark blue PCB, BMP180 silkscreen, four gold connector circles)
so picker and canvas feel consistent.
frontend/public/components-metadata.json
Regenerated.
docs/THIRD_PARTY.md
New "Fritzing parts library" section. Both new assets are listed
with their upstream paths plus the CC-BY-SA licence and link to
the parts repo. Future Fritzing copies must be added there too.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The ePaper examples in examples-displays-epaper.ts use slugs prefixed
`epaper-*` (e.g. `epaper-1in54-uno-hello`), but the previous discovery
regex was matching `epd-*` — those are ePaper-component IDs that
appear in wire definitions, NOT example IDs. So /examples/epd-154
returns 404 ("Example Not Found") and the 7 actual ePaper examples
were never captured.
Fix: discovery regex now reads `epaper-` (the real prefix). Captured
all 7:
- epaper-1in54-uno-hello (Uno + 1.54" SSD1681)
- epaper-2in13-pico-clock (Pico + 2.13")
- epaper-2in9-esp32-weather (ESP32 + 2.9" weather panel)
- epaper-4in2-pico-image (Pico + 4.2" image)
- epaper-7in5-esp32-dashboard (ESP32 + 7.5" dashboard)
- epaper-2in9-bwr-esp32-alert (ESP32 + 2.9" black-white-red)
- epaper-5in65-7c-esp32-rainbow (ESP32 + 5.65" 7-color)
Coverage now: 166/166 examples (was 159/166).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The analog-only circuits in examples-analog.ts (slugs prefixed `an-*`)
have no SEO route — they aren't in sitemap.xml — and the capture
script previously discovered slugs from sitemap only, so all 30
fell through to the CircuitPreview SVG mock which doesn't draw the
wires for these layouts.
Updated discovery: also grep the local velxio submodule's
examples-analog.ts for `an-*` ID literals (and `100d-*` / `epd-*`
while we're at it for the 100-days and epaper data files), in
addition to the sitemap pull.
Updated wait condition: capture now waits for any board OR component
OR wire path inside .canvas-world, not specifically [data-board-id]
(analog-only examples have no Arduino, just a signal-generator + parts).
Coverage: 159/166 examples have real screenshots now (was 129/166).
The 7 `epd-*` epaper examples are still falling back to CircuitPreview
because they don't render an "Open in Simulator" CTA on /examples/<slug>;
they'll need a separate loader path.
Re-captured the 109 existing thumbs at the same time — content is
visually identical for those, no regression.

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

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

The marketing copy and docs claimed ESP32-C3 / XIAO-C3 / SuperMini /
CH32V003 ran on a "browser-native RV32IMC core written in TypeScript",
but production runs through QEMU lcgamboa (libqemu-riscv32) with the
esp32c3-picsimlab machine — same backend pattern as Xtensa ESP32, just
a different libqemu binary. The TypeScript ISA layer
(RiscVCore.ts / Esp32C3Simulator.ts / RiscVSimulator.ts) is kept only
as Vitest unit-test infrastructure for RV32IMC instruction decoding;
it cannot handle the 150+ ROM functions ESP-IDF needs at boot and is
not wired into the production emulation path.
Files updated:
Marketing pages
- LandingPage: board-group label, FAQ answer, architecture description
no longer claim "browser-native" or "no backend needed" for RISC-V.

TypeScript layer is Vitest-only.
- DocsPage Esp32EmulationSection callout: section now applies to all
ESP32 family (Xtensa + RISC-V), pointer to RISC-V doc clarified.
README
- "Boards" table: production-engine column for ESP32-C3 family and

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

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

crypto.randomUUID() is only exposed on secure contexts (HTTPS, localhost,
127.0.0.1, ::1). When Velxio is self-hosted and accessed via a LAN IP over
plain HTTP (e.g. http://192.168.31.139:3080/), crypto.randomUUID is
undefined and any code path that calls it throws TypeError.
This silently broke ESP32 simulation start for self-hosters: the frontend
generates a UUID for the WS client_id when Run is clicked; the throw
rejected the promise before reaching the WS connect, so the backend
never got the start request — no worker spawned, logs empty, simulation
"didn't start" with no visible error.
Same root cause would also break the multi-file editor (createFile,
createFileGroup) on the same LAN-HTTP self-host setup, just less
observably.
Add a single generateUUID() helper that:
1. Uses crypto.randomUUID() when available (secure context fast path).
2. Falls back to crypto.getRandomValues() — which IS available in
non-secure contexts — to build a v4 UUID by hand.
3. Final fallback to Math.random() if even that is missing
(defensive — Web Crypto getRandomValues has been universal for
years).
Replace all 6 crypto.randomUUID() call sites:
- frontend/src/simulation/Esp32Bridge.ts (2 sites — getTabSessionId)
- frontend/src/store/useEditorStore.ts (4 sites — file IDs)
Reported by a self-hoster on OrangePi 5B accessing Velxio via LAN IP.
DevTools console showed:
TypeError: crypto.randomUUID is not a function
at Ph (...) at wh.connect (...) at startBoard (...)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Previous fix added an ESP32-specific code path inside ili9341Simulation
to subscribe to the QEMU worker's spi_event stream. That made the LCD
work on ESP32-CAM but left the underlying issue unsolved: every other
SPI part (custom chips, future SD-card emulators, the SSD168x ePaper
already in the codebase) would also need its own per-board branching.
The right shape: every simulator exposes a `.spi` member matching the
SAME SpiBusLike interface, and SPI parts hook .spi.onByte without
caring which board they're attached to. AVRSimulator already had
this — now everything else does too.
frontend/src/simulation/SpiBus.ts (new)
Defines the contract — `onByte: (mosi) => void | null` plus
optional `completeTransfer(miso)`. Documents the single-listener
semantics that AVR has had since day one.
frontend/src/store/useSimulatorStore.ts
Esp32BridgeShim gets a lazy `.spi` getter that wraps
bridge.onSpiByte (the per-byte WS event from the QEMU worker).
completeTransfer is a no-op because the worker drives MISO via
its own _spi_response global. Covers ESP32 (Xtensa), ESP32-S3,
ESP32-CAM, ESP32-C3 — every kind that routes through Esp32Bridge.
frontend/src/simulation/RP2040Simulator.ts
Adds a lazy `.spi` getter that re-routes rp2040.spi[0].onTransmit
through the adapter. Default loopback (the prior behaviour) is
preserved when no part has accessed `.spi` yet — only consumers
that opt in see their handler invoked. Covers Pico and Pico W.
frontend/src/simulation/parts/ComplexParts.ts
ili9341Simulation no longer has an ESP32 special case. Single
code path: `simulator.spi.onByte = handler`. Works on AVR,
RP2040, all ESP32 variants. Same pattern is now available to
every future SPI part — ssd1306, sd-card, oled, etc.
The Esp32Bridge.ts spi_event field-name fix from 6afa62e (msg.data.event
instead of the non-existent msg.data.data) stays in place — that's what
makes the per-byte stream actually arrive in the bridge.
Verified: ILI9341 + ESP32-CAM gallery example renders the live webcam
preview after a hard refresh. The same simulation code works on Arduino
Uno + ILI9341 (the existing ili9341-test-sketch in example_zip).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The ILI9341 part simulation only hooked AVR's SPI peripheral. For
ESP32 the simulator is Esp32BridgeShim (no .spi member), so
attachEvents bailed early and the LCD stayed black even though the
firmware was driving SPI traffic correctly.
The QEMU worker already emits per-byte spi_event WS messages
(see backend/app/services/esp32_worker.py::_on_spi_event), and the
Esp32Bridge already had an onSpiEvent hook — but the bridge was
reading msg.data.data (a non-existent field) instead of decoding
the worker's {bus, event, response} format. Fixed.
Two changes:
1. Esp32Bridge.ts: decode the spi_event payload correctly. The
worker encodes byte transfers as `mosi << 8` (op = low byte = 0x00)
and CS-line changes as `((cs<<1)|level) << 8 | 0x01` (op == 0x01).
Added onSpiByte (per-byte) and onSpiCsChange callbacks alongside
the existing onSpiEvent for backwards compat.
2. ComplexParts.ts ili9341Simulation: detect Esp32BridgeShim via
`getBridge()` duck-type check. When present, subscribe to
bridge.onSpiByte and feed bytes into the same processCommand /
processData pipeline used by the AVR path. DC tracking via
pinManager.onPinChange already works for ESP32 because the bridge
fires triggerPinChange on every gpio_change WS event.
Verified end-to-end: ESP32-CAM + ILI9341 example in the gallery now
renders the live webcam preview to the simulated TFT (160×120 RGB565
centered in the 320×240 panel) at ~3-4 fps.

Minimal sketch — init OV2640, verify SCCB chip-id, loop on
esp_camera_fb_get() printing frame metadata to Serial. Proves
the emulation is alive without any external components.
2. ESP32-CAM + ILI9341 Live Preview (displays / intermediate)
Full demo — decode JPEG with jpg2rgb565() (built-in to
esp32-camera/conversions, header exposed by the Velxio compile
template) and render the resulting RGB565 bitmap to a 320×240
SPI TFT. Pre-wired diagram: ILI9341 connected via VSPI to GPIOs
12-15 (the only block free after OV2640 takes over the rest of
the AI-Thinker pins).
Type changes:
- ExampleProject.boardType union extended with 'esp32-cam'
- BOARD_TABS in ExamplesGallery.tsx gets a new "ESP32-CAM" tab
(orange #d35400)
Both examples use boardFilter: 'esp32-cam' so they show under
the new tab and not the generic ESP32 one.

First open-source end-to-end emulation of the AI-Thinker ESP32-CAM
in QEMU, paired with a browser webcam → firmware bridge so users can
develop camera sketches without hardware. Status: esp_camera_init()
returns ESP_OK; OV2640 chip-id verifies (PID/VER/MIDH/MIDL exactly
match the datasheet); GPIO 25 VSYNC NEGEDGE interrupt enabled by
the upstream driver. Final piece (cam_task accepting frames) is in
progress — descriptor walker fix landed in this commit.
Backend (Python/FastAPI):
- simulation.py: camera_attach/frame/detach WS handlers
- esp32_worker.py: ctypes binding to velxio_push_camera_frame +
feature-detection fallback for older DLLs
- esp32_lib_manager.py: forward camera commands to the worker stdin
- esp-idf-template/main/CMakeLists.txt: esp32-camera headers added
via add_prebuilt_library + REQUIRES driver (resolves i2c_master_*
symbols). LED_BUILTIN=2 fallback for sketches that hardcode it.
Frontend (React/TS):
- EditorToolbar.tsx: ESP32-CAM (and the rest of the ESP32 family)
added to isQemuBoard list — Run button now starts the QEMU bridge
for these boards instead of falling through to the AVR path
- useWebcamFrames.ts: getUserMedia → OffscreenCanvas →
toBlob('image/jpeg') → base64 → WS at ~10 fps
- CameraToggle.tsx: header button with status colors + frame counter
- SimulatorCanvas.tsx: render CameraToggle for esp32-cam boards
- Esp32Bridge.ts: sendCameraAttach/Frame/Detach + chunked btoa
- useSimulatorStore.ts: diagnostic log on compileBoardProgram
- components-metadata.json: regen including esp32-cam component
Submodule pointer:
- wokwi-libs/qemu-lcgamboa → ff8eee0 (camera devices commit on
davidmonterocrespo24/qemu-lcgamboa branch picsimlab-esp32)
Investigation + tests in test/test-esp32-cam/:
- 13 autosearch markdown docs (overview, SOTA, OV2640 spec, DVP/I2S
spec, build blueprint, blockers resolved, descriptor walker fix)
- 5 sketches (camera_init, sccb_probe, dma_smoke, frame_roundtrip,
webcam_demo) + 8 live + WS regression tests
- README with the user-facing flow
.gitignore:
- libqemu-*.dll.{pre-camera,new,bak} (rollback points, regenerated)
- wokwi-libs/esp32-camera/ (clone consumed by arduino-esp32 path,
not part of this repo)

The project save/load pipeline only persisted a single `board_type`, so
multi-board workspaces silently lost every board except the active one
on save, and wires referencing the dropped boards' IDs orphaned to the
canvas corner on reload. An audit of the production backup found 74/306
projects (24%) with at least one orphaned wire and 174/301 non-trivial
projects whose code was still the default Blink template — strong signal
that users save once and never re-save.
Backend
- Add `boards_json` column on `projects` with idempotent ALTER TABLE in
the lifespan migration list.
- New `FileGroup` schema + `file_groups` array on
ProjectCreate/Update/Response. Legacy `files`/`code` kept for back-compat.
- `project_files.py` now uses `{pid}/{groupId}/{filename}` subdirs via
`read_groups`/`write_groups`. Legacy flat layouts are auto-promoted on
read; legacy single-list `files` only updates the active group, leaving
other boards' files intact.
- `_persist_files_from_body` honors file_groups → files → code priority.
Frontend
- `useSimulatorStore.addBoard` accepts an optional `explicitId` so
saved board IDs can be restored verbatim (wires reference IDs literally).
- New `loadProjectState({boards, fileGroups, components, wires,
activeBoardId})` action: tears down current boards, recreates from the
payload, restores file groups atomically, recalculates wire positions
on the next frame, and refreshes the Interconnect.
- `useEditorStore.replaceFileGroups` for atomic multi-group restore.
- `SaveProjectModal` and `ProjectByIdPage`/`ProjectPage` now go through
`buildSavePayload` / `buildLoadPayload` (handles pre-backfill projects
by synthesising a default board from `board_type`).
Auto-save (#useAutoSaveProject hook)
- 2.5s debounced silent PUT triggered ONLY when an authenticated user
has a `currentProject` with a UUID. State hash detects real changes
vs. UI-only churn; baseline is reset on project load so the just-loaded
state isn't immediately re-saved.
- `beforeunload` flush via `fetch keepalive: true` (supports PUT +
credentials, survives unload).
- Compact status indicator in `AppHeader` (idle/dirty/saving/saved/error).
Backfill script (one-off, idempotent)
- `backend/scripts/backfill_boards_2026_05.py` populates `boards_json`
for legacy projects. Heuristic per project, based on which board IDs
the wires reference:
Case A — wires only ref 'arduino-uno' but board_type ≠ uno:
rename id→board_type and rewrite wire endpoints.
Case B — single-board normal: keep verbatim.
Case C — multi-board: recreate one board per distinct ref, infer
kind by stripping trailing -N suffix.
Also moves any flat files into the active board's group subdir.
Stdlib-only, runs from host or `docker exec`.
Docker
- `Dockerfile.standalone` now copies `backend/scripts/` into the image
so the backfill is callable via `docker exec velxio-app python
/app/scripts/backfill_boards_2026_05.py --apply`.
Verified locally on the restored production backup (363 projects):
33 Case A, 316 Case B, 14 Case C, 135 wire endpoints renamed, 0 orphans.
Re-running the script after apply skips all 363 (idempotent).

Fixes the user-reported bug where two RPi Pico W boards wired GP0↔GP1
running SerialPassthrough don't communicate. Replaces the broken
broadcast-style cross-board logic in addBoard (only routed AVR↔Pi3B,
ignored wires entirely, no RP2040↔anything path) with a wire-aware
Interconnect singleton.
Architecture: digital pin transitions are the lowest-common-denominator
abstraction. Each simulator's hardware peripherals (UART/I2C/SPI) and
bit-banging libraries (SoftwareSerial, software I2C) decode the
transitions naturally — propagate the pin and the protocols come for
free. For cross-process boards (ESP32 backend QEMU, Pi3B QEMU) a
byte-level shortcut is additionally enabled on hardware-UART pin
pairs to handle high-baud links over WebSocket latency.
Implementation:
- New simulation/Interconnect.ts singleton subscribes to wire/board
changes via the Zustand store. Handlers per tier: browser-sim →
pinManager.onPinChange, ESP32 → Esp32Bridge.sendPinEvent, Pi3B →
bridge.sendPinEvent. Re-entrancy guard via per-(board,pin) Set.
- New utils/boardProtocols.ts classifies pins (uart-tx, i2c-sda, etc.)
per board kind, used as optimization hint for the byte shortcut.
- types/wire.ts: added signalType field, exports WireSignalType /
WireColorMap (fixes a pre-existing TS import error in wireColors).
- Deleted the bridgeMap/simulatorMap broadcast forEach blocks in
addBoard. Initial board + future boards register with Interconnect
via setInterconnectRuntime + store subscription.
- PinManager.resetPinStates() helper for test isolation.
Tests (16 new files, 96 tests, all passing):
- Per-pair × per-protocol matrix: dual-arduino-digital,
dual-pico-digital, arduino-pico-digital, triple-pico-digital-chain,
dual-arduino-hw-uart, dual-arduino-software-serial,
arduino-pico-mixed-uart, arduino-esp32-uart, dual-esp32-uart,
pi3-pico-uart, arduino-pico-i2c, arduino-arduino-spi,
interconnect-routing, dual-arduino-multi-protocol (UART+I2C+SPI+
digital + concurrent), dual-pico-multi-protocol (UART0+UART1 alt+
I2C0+I2C1+SPI0+digital + 3-Pico star topology)
- Updated dual-pico-serial-passthrough to assert correct behaviour
- Backend test/multi_board_esp32/test_dual_esp32_serial.py for two
real QEMU instances (skip-graceful when lcgamboa lib absent)
Verified: 1107/1107 tests pass, zero regressions, vite build OK.

Track per-user, per-project, and per-board usage to inform pricing tier
decisions. Adds an admin dashboard with KPIs (DAU/WAU/MAU, totals,
success rate), time-series charts for compiles/runs, board family +
FQBN breakdowns, "board diversity" pie chart (key freemium signal),
top users/projects, and per-country breakdown via Cloudflare's
CF-IPCountry header. Admin can now also view private projects.
Backend:
- New UsageEvent table (append-only event log with user_id, project_id,
event_type, board_fqbn/family, country, error_kind, duration_ms)
- Aggregate counters on User (total_compiles/runs/errors, last_active,
signup_country, last_country) and Project (compile/run/update counts,
last_compiled/run timestamps) kept in sync by MetricsService for O(1)
dashboard reads
- 10 admin endpoints under /api/admin/metrics/{overview, timeseries,
boards, board-diversity, top-users, top-projects, countries,
users/{id}, projects/{id}}
- POST /api/metrics/run for client-side run telemetry
- Country detection via cf-ipcountry header (no DB / no API calls)
- Auto-migrations in lifespan for legacy DBs
Frontend:
- recharts-powered Dashboard tab with KPI cards and 4 charts

Mirrors the /v2 page structure but targets the 2.5 launch: ngspice-WASM
analog simulation, hybrid digital + analog co-simulation with Arduino /
ESP32 / RP2040, expanded component catalog, live instruments, 40 new
analog/hybrid examples.
- Reuses Velxio2Page.css + SEOPage.css — no new stylesheet to maintain
- Adds SoftwareApplication, BreadcrumbList, and FAQPage JSON-LD for
rich-results eligibility
- Registers the route in App, entry-server (SSR prerender), and
seoRoutes (sitemap, priority 0.95 / changefreq weekly)
The SPICE emitter already reads properties.lux (default 500, 100 nA/lux)
but the UI had no way to set it — the static dialog rejected the "range"
control type and there was no entry in SENSOR_CONTROLS for the live panel.
- Add photodiode entry in SENSOR_CONTROLS (slider 0-1000 lux)
- Register a minimal PartSimulationRegistry handler that forwards slider
values via emitPropertyChange so the netlist memo invalidates
- Switch the photodiode lux control from "range" to "number" so the
static ComponentPropertyDialog renders an editable input
Loading an analog-only example removes every board. The single-board
branch of loadExample then called setBoardType, which only maps over
existing entries in boards[] and silently did nothing when the array
was empty — components rendered but no board. Fall back to addBoard +
setActiveBoardId when there are no boards.
- Modified the index file to reflect the new naming convention for Velxio components.
- Changed JSX declarations to use 'velxio-' prefix for various components.
- Updated component overrides to replace 'wokwi-' with 'velxio-' for logic gates and other components.
- Adjusted SVG generation script to use 'velxio-' prefix for BMP280 and Raspberry Pi components.
- Marked submodules as dirty in QEMU and RP2040 libraries.
- Added .prettierignore and .prettierrc.json for consistent code formatting.
- Introduced InstrumentComponent with support for Voltmeter and Ammeter, including pin information handling.

- Added a new custom element `<wokwi-capacitor-electrolytic>` representing a polarized aluminum-can capacitor with appropriate SVG representation.
- Updated metadata generation to accommodate new component names and thumbnails for better user experience in the component picker.
- Marked submodules `qemu-lcgamboa` and `rp2040js` as dirty to reflect local changes.
- Replaced syncStoreProperty function with emitPropertyChange to decouple parts from Zustand store.
- Updated relay component mapping to ensure proper handling of coil and contact states.
- Added new test cases for half-wave rectifier and relay-controlled LED to ensure correct functionality.
- Introduced InlineComponentSVGs for schematic-style icons of various components.
- Updated submodule references for qemu-lcgamboa, rp2040js, and wokwi-elements to indicate dirty state.
- Implement `ammeter-waveform.test.ts` to validate AC readings from a sine wave source.

- Add helper functions in `esp32RectifierE2E.ts` for the rectifier test harness.
- Develop `voltmeter-waveform.test.ts` to ensure correct AC and DC readings from a sine wave source.
- Implement unit tests for waveform statistics in `waveform-stats.test.ts` to validate RMS, mean, peak, and interpolation functions.
- Create `waveformStats.ts` to provide statistical functions for time-domain waveform analysis.
- Implement `serial-batching.test.ts` to verify the behavior of `createSerialBatcher`, ensuring it coalesces multiple appends into a single flush, preserves byte order, and groups by board.
- Create `spice-rectifier-integration.test.ts` to test the end-to-end functionality of the Half-Wave Rectifier example, covering the entire simulation pipeline from input building to circuit solving.
- Add `spice-rectifier-live-repro.test.ts` to reproduce a live-app failure scenario, tracing through each layer of the simulation to identify potential failure points.
- Introduce `spice-signal-generator-tran.test.ts` to validate the behavior of the signal generator and ensure correct analysis type switching based on circuit components.
- Establish `serialBatcher.ts` to implement a batching mechanism for USART output, reducing the frequency of store updates and preventing React's maximum update depth error.
- Decoupled electrical simulation from the simulator store, ensuring SPICE is always active for accurate circuit analysis.
- Removed feature flag for electrical simulation, simplifying the state management.
- Preloaded SPICE engine at app start to eliminate latency during the first solve.
- Added comprehensive tests for MOSFET PWM LED behavior and NPN transistor switch functionality, ensuring correct current flow and response to pin states.
- Implemented diagnostics for floating input nodes in RC low-pass filter circuits, addressing singular matrix issues in SPICE simulations.
- Introduced active semiconductor metadata registry for better component management and simulation fidelity.
- Updated Vite configuration to force re-bundling of local wokwi-elements after component additions.
fix: increase timeout for compilation requests to 180 seconds
refactor: call recalculateAllWirePositions after loading examples
chore: update subproject commit for rp2040js to dirty state
chore: update subproject commit for wokwi-elements to dirty state
generate-sitemap.mjs was only scanning examples.ts for example IDs using a
textual regex. With the 40 new circuit examples living in a separate file
(examples-circuits.ts), they were missing from the generated sitemap.xml
and therefore invisible to search engines / SSR prerender URL list.
Now the generator reads both source files and merges their example IDs.
Also includes auto-applied formatting changes to generate-component-metadata.ts.

Previously examples.ts pushed to exampleProjects[] after declaration, which
some bundlers can treat as dead code under aggressive tree-shaking. This
also made HMR unreliable when examples-circuits.ts changed.
Now:
const legacyExamples = [...]
export const exampleProjects = [...legacyExamples, ...circuitExamples]
Single immutable export. Guaranteed to include all 150 examples at import
time. The gallery (ExamplesGallery.tsx) and SSR prerender (entry-server.tsx)
both pick up the new circuit examples automatically.
Also adds frontend/src/__tests__/examples-circuits.test.ts with 5 assertions
to catch future regressions (all circuit ids present, no duplicates, valid
required fields, expected categories covered).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds frontend/src/data/examples-circuits.ts with 40 new examples organized
into 6 categories, each demonstrating a specific analog/digital/electromech
concept that the SPICE engine can simulate end-to-end:
PASSIVE / ANALOG (10):
voltage-divider, rc-low-pass-filter, wheatstone-bridge,
ntc-temperature, led-current-limiting, parallel-resistors,
pot-adc-reader, photoresistor-light, multi-led-bar,
capacitor-charge-curve
TRANSISTOR / SEMICONDUCTOR (8):
npn-led-switch, pnp-high-side-switch, mosfet-pwm-led,
diode-rectifier, zener-regulator, schottky-reverse-protection,
bjt-common-emitter, darlington-high-current
OP-AMP (5):
opamp-inverting, opamp-voltage-follower, opamp-comparator,
opamp-difference, opamp-schmitt-trigger
LOGIC GATES (6):
and-gate-alarm, xor-toggle-detector, nand-sr-latch,
full-adder, binary-counter-leds, logic-probe
ELECTROMECHANICAL (4):
relay-led-switch, optocoupler-signal,
l293d-motor-control, l293d-speed-pwm
POWER / REGULATOR (3):
power-supply-7805, lm317-adjustable-psu, battery-voltage-monitor
BOARD-SPECIFIC (4):
esp32-dual-adc, mega-multi-led, nano-sensor-station,
esp32-pwm-led-rgb (uses ESP32 LEDC peripheral)
The new examples are appended to exampleProjects[] in examples.ts so the
existing gallery and category filters pick them up automatically.
test/test_circuit/test/spice_examples.test.js validates each example's
analog topology in ngspice — 45 individual assertions covering all 40
examples (plus extra cases for NTC/Zener sweeps and L293D direction).
Sandbox tally: 164 -> 209 tests, 7.9s runtime, all green.

Electrical simulation is now active by default (mode='spice' instead of
'off') — users no longer need to toggle the mode on manually. The engine
lazy-loads on first solve, so there is no startup cost penalty.
Changes:
- useElectricalStore: default mode = 'spice' when ELECTRICAL_SIM_ENABLED
- subscribeToStore: ADC_PIN_MAP expanded to all 18 board types (Uno, Nano,
Mega with 16 ADC channels, ATtiny85, RP2040 GP26-29, ESP32/S3/C3 GPIO
ADCs). Voltages from SPICE solutions now inject into MCU ADC peripherals
for all boards.
- BasicParts LED: reads branchCurrents from useElectricalStore when SPICE
is active. Brightness = clamp(|I_led| / 20mA, 0, 1) instead of boolean.
Subscribes to store changes to update in real time.
- ElectricalOverlay: shows per-wire voltage labels (gold monospace on dark
pill) using buildWireNetMap() which replicates the NetlistBuilder's
Union-Find to map wireId -> netName -> nodeVoltage. Summary pill shows
net count + solve time.
- NetlistBuilder: new export buildWireNetMap() for lightweight wire-to-net
resolution without running ngspice.

Adds 44 SPICE mappers, 58 custom metadata entries, and 12 visual
Web Components covering logic gates, transistors, op-amps, regulators,
sources, electromechanical parts and integrated-circuit packaging.
Fase 9 — component catalog expansion
------------------------------------
- 7 logic gates (AND/OR/NAND/NOR/XOR/XNOR + NOT) as SPICE B-sources
- 8 multi-input gates (AND/OR/NAND/NOR with 3 and 4 inputs)
- 9 transistors: 5 BJTs (incl. PNP 2N3906/BC557) + 4 MOSFETs (incl.
P-channel IRF9540/FQP27P06). NMOS refactored from Level=3 W=0.1
(hangs ngspice) to Level=1 with sane W/L
- 5 op-amps: LM358, LM741, TL072, LM324 with per-chip saturation
rails + opamp-ideal
- 4 linear regulators (7805, 7812, 7905, LM317) with dropout
- 3 batteries (9V, AA, coin-cell) with realistic ESR
- Signal generator (sine / square / DC)
- 2 Schottky diodes (1N5817, 1N5819) + photodiode (lux-driven
current source)
Fase 10 — electromechanical + ICs
---------------------------------
- Relay (SPDT): coil + L + S-switch with native hysteresis +
flyback diode, inverted-control trick for the NC contact
- Optocouplers 4N25 and PC817 (LED + CCCS with CTR=0.5 / 1.0)
- 7 74HC ICs as DIP-14 packages emitting 4 or 6 B-sources per
component (first mapper pattern emitting multiple device cards)
- 3 flip-flops (D, T, JK) — digital-sim only (edge detection is
not representable in ngspice .op)
- L293D dual H-bridge motor driver
Infrastructure
--------------
- scripts/component-overrides.json gains a _customComponents[] array
that lets new Velxio-only parts survive metadata regeneration
(previously applyOverrides() could only patch wokwi-elements
components that had already been scanned)
- scripts/generate-component-metadata.ts injects custom entries
before the patch loop
- New ComponentCategory values: 'logic', 'analog', 'electromech'
- frontend/src/components/DynamicComponent.tsx PASSIVE tracing
extended from just ['resistor','resistor-us'] to 9 two-terminal
passives with per-part pin name maps
- New CI workflow test-circuit.yml runs the sandbox on push/PR
- frontend-tests.yml regenerates metadata and fails if committed
JSON is stale
- Documented 2 new ngspice gotchas in circuit-emulation-gotchas.md:
unicode in netlist titles silently hangs the parser, and
MOSFET Level=3 + W=0.1m causes .op to hang
- 164/164 sandbox tests passing in ~9 s (was 88 pre-fase-9)

- Updated console logs to reflect total URLs generated in sitemap.
refactor: Update wiring examples for E32 OLED integration; correct pin mappings for VCC, GND, DATA, and CLK
test: Improve unit tests for ESPIDFCompiler; add scenarios for library resolution and CMake patching
chore: Mark subproject commits as dirty for wokwi-libs
This commit introduces a detailed markdown document outlining the process of simulating DHT22 and HC-SR04 sensors on the ESP32 platform using Velxio's QEMU fork. The documentation covers the context of the simulation, key callbacks, problems encountered, and solutions implemented for both sensors. It includes architectural details, end-to-end testing procedures, and guidelines for adding new GPIO-timed sensors. The aim is to provide maintainers with a thorough understanding of the GPIO logic and the challenges faced during development.
- Updated the threshold for switching to data mode in MPU6050Slave from 2 to 3 WHO_AM_I reads to ensure correct chip identification.
- Enhanced comments in the code to clarify the sequence of I2C events during initialization.
- Added a new test file `test_mpu6050_emulation.py` to validate the MPU6050Slave state machine and ensure it handles the full Adafruit_MPU6050::begin() event sequence correctly.
- Updated existing tests to reflect the changes in the I2C handling logic.
- Modified `components-metadata.json` to update the generated timestamp.
- Marked submodules `rp2040js` and `wokwi-elements` as dirty to reflect local changes.
Two bugs causing "can't save project" reports:
1. SaveProjectModal: validate currentProject.id is a real UUID before
calling updateProject. If id is "none" or any non-UUID string, fall
through to createProject instead, avoiding PUT /api/projects/none.
2. ProjectByIdPage: call clearCurrentProject() when the project fetch
fails (404/403/error). Prevents stale project IDs from a previous
