Martino Ferrari d147678b1c feat: a pulse whose width is wrong can be the trigger's event, so a glitch can be caught 2026-10-07 17:32:11 +02:00
Martino FerrariandClaude Sonnet 4.6 b3fd9ae00f refactor: what counts as an event moves into its own evaluator, so a search can ask the same question the trigger asks

Martino Ferrari 178cf54ef6 feat: the mock can inject a narrow pulse and stop a signal, so a width and a dropout condition have something to find 2026-10-07 16:59:29 +02:00
Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 9aa1d80158 docs: an implementation plan for the three new scope features
Nine tasks with literal code: the mock's injected faults, the shared
EventDetector the trigger and the search both run, the four condition
shapes and their panel rows, the Welford statistics and what resets
them, the chunked buffer search, its marks, and the documentation.

Every probe's expected reading is written as a shape with the measured
figure left to be recorded from a run, never assumed.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 19aad492eb docs: the trigger is not persisted, so the condition is not either
The spec described the new condition fields as appended session keys. LayoutState
carries no trigger field at all -- the trigger is built from --holdoff and the
panel's defaults on every launch -- so there was nothing to append to. Persisting it
is a separate feature nobody asked for, and a session that silently restored an armed
pulse-width condition would surprise rather than help. The statistics toggle stays as
the one session key this design adds.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 6770c6a648 docs: a zero-width trigger band is refused, not degraded to an edge
The spec claimed a window condition with equal levels degrades to an edge trigger on
that level. It does not: the band test is a change of side, so equal levels make the
signal "inside" only on exact float equality and the condition silently never fires.
Special-casing the detector into an edge trigger would conflate two state machines
that answer different questions -- the divergence the shared evaluator exists to
prevent. The panel refuses the degenerate band instead.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 98be03e00d docs: three scope features are specified around one shared event condition
Qualified trigger conditions (pulse width with glitch as a comparison, window,
dropout), per-measurement statistics with a reset, and a search over the retained
ring. The first and third are the same question asked of live and of recorded data,
so they share one allocation-free EventDetector extracted out of TriggerEngine --
and the probe that proves the two paths agree on t0 is part of the scope.

Reference waveforms, PNG export, FFT and a byte-bounded event history are out, each
for a stated reason.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 f179fbbb44 fix: a clock glitch is bridged and a channel is known by name, so a capture keeps its t0
Two defects behind one report ("a trigger during a capture overrides the first,
and the hold-off does not apply"); the second is also what made a spike in one
channel look like the acquisition resetting.

The trigger engine keyed its invalidation on the trigger channel's *index*, which
every rebuild of the channel list renumbers -- enabling a signal that sorts before
it is enough. Any rebuild therefore abandoned an open capture and set no hold-off,
so the next edge inside the post window became t0. It keys on the channel's name
now, which changes only when the source genuinely does.

A packet whose stamps jump more than 256 packet spans ahead is now rejected as a
fault and *bridged* at the declared cadence, instead of poisoning the monotonic
mark (which pinned every later packet flat at the glitched value) and condemning
the next good packet. Only four consecutive failures abandon the declared time
signal, and that fallback no longer wipes the rings: the arrival clock is anchored
to continue from the monotonic mark, so the history is still on one timeline --
the wipe is what made one glitching packet look like the stream restarting from 0.
The declared unit is resolved before those checks, since they weigh the stamps
against a cadence in seconds.

Guards: UDPSCOPE_PROBE_TRIGRENUM_MS prints t0_held=1 through the real widgets,
and the mock's --time-glitch-at/--time-glitch-by injects the clock fault.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 4003084648 feat: a signal's chip is clickable, so a trace's colour is the user's to choose
Clicking the coloured chip in the signal list opens a GtkColorDialog and the
colour it returns overrides that signal's palette entry. Held by name, like
every other identity here, and persisted as a session `[[color]]` table.

RowSet::signal_color() becomes the one resolver: install() builds the trace
through it and all three chip sites read it, because a chip exists to say which
trace a row is about and an override is exactly the state in which two routes to
a colour would disagree. A grey chip names no trace and so is not clickable, and
the way back is `Default colour` in the signal's menu -- a setting with no undo
is a trap.

The gesture sits on the existing label rather than in a GtkButton: padding on
this row is what made the signal list twice as tall once. It claims its sequence
so a click on the chip cannot become the start of a row drag.

UDPSCOPE_PROBE_COLOR_MS reads the result out of plot::Plot::trace() and out of
the chip's own markup, with an override in no palette slot, so neither leg can
pass by asking the resolver what it already said.

Martino Ferrari 8bc1fe8b5c fix: a repaired source is reconciled above the validation line, not below it
`math_dialog_sync_form()` wrote the label and then moved a node whose source
names an unacquired channel -- a mutation that changes what
`math_dialog_problem()` reports. With the sync re-entry now guarded, the nested
call that used to repair the label is suppressed, so the line kept describing a
source that had just been fixed and left `Apply` insensitive until the next
mutation. The reconcile moves above the write and the dropdown reuses its list.

Martino Ferrari f238e717b2 fix: a wire is picked by distance and a refusal is spoken, so the editor answers
A review of the whole node editor. The hit test measured the distance to the
24 curve samples rather than to the segments between them, so a wire spanning
several rows was unpickable between two samples -- the probe now places its
boxes 280 units apart and prints the nearest sample's own 8.4 against a 3.0
tolerance, which the point test would have missed. A refused connection said
nothing: the message is now carried in `MathDialog::refusal` and shown once by
the single writer of the label, and a self-wire is refused through the real
drag-end path instead of only through `math_connect()`.

Two defects were found only by the new assertions. `math_dialog_sync()`
re-entered itself -- `gtk_drop_down_set_selected()` emits `notify::selected`
for a programmatic set too, and the handler answers by syncing again, which
consumed the refusal before it could be drawn -- so the body is now guarded
one level deep. And a deleted node left `selected_wire` naming an index that
afterwards belongs to a different wire, so `Delete` cleared an input on the
wrong node.

A node is placed in the first free grid cell rather than at the end of the
list's own cell, so a node added after a delete no longer lands on top of a
survivor; the label ellipsizes with a tooltip rather than wrapping, because a
wrapped line makes the dialog's height depend on the text in it.

Martino Ferrari 300b33159e docs: the node editor's gestures, its new probe assertions and its invariants
Each invariant records what went wrong rather than only the rule: a port hit
that lost its node, a hit test at the identity view that asserts nothing, a
`Delete` that must not fall through to the selected node, and a column pitch
too narrow for a wire's own tread. The warning baseline drops to four.
2026-10-07 02:56:36 +02:00
Martino Ferrari 8918494acb feat: a tidy button lays the graph out by depth, so no two boxes overlap
A single forward pass -- the list is already in evaluation order, so every
input's depth is in hand by the time the reader is reached -- then a fit. The
column pitch is `kNodeW + 48` rather than the add-node grid's 160, which left
28 units for a wire's 40-unit tread and made the bezier double back.
2026-10-07 02:44:50 +02:00
Martino Ferrari 5a69b2147b feat: the op is picked when a node is added, not changed afterwards
\`add node\` made a gain and nothing else, so every other op was two steps. It
is a menu of the twelve now, each carrying its index through
\`math_op_index()\`'s space rather than a cast of the enum -- which is also
what \`math_dialog_sync()\` now uses to drive the op dropdown, since that
order is the dialog's and not the declaration's.

Martino Ferrari bafa391ad8 feat: the editor says why a graph cannot be saved instead of refusing on Apply
One `math_dialog_problem()` drives both the line and Apply's sensitivity, so
they cannot disagree, and the two modal alerts are gone -- there was nothing
in either message a user could not have been told while still building the
graph. Written above `math_dialog_sync()`'s early return, since an
out-of-range selection is exactly when a stale line misleads most.

The source dropdown now lists the acquired channels, which is what Apply
validates against: listing every signal let a user pick a source that could
never be made valid, and put the stream's timestamp signal first.

Deleted `const int output_built = ed->output` from `math_probe()` -- it was
dead code, redundant with the `output_after_add` already printed on the same
line, and its removal is what drops the warning baseline from five to four.
The probe's `bad_text` pointer is copied to `std::string` before the second
`math_dialog_sync()` overwrites the label's internal storage.

Martino Ferrari 5ca762031d feat: a backwards wire re-sorts the graph instead of being refused
The evaluator walks the node list in order, which used to make the order the
user's problem -- an input of an earlier node was not even drawn as
connectable. `math_connect()` runs Kahn's algorithm over the trial edge set,
with ties broken by the current index so a graph already in order is not
permuted, and remaps every index the dialog holds in one block. A self wire
and a cycle are refused with a message and change nothing.

Martino Ferrari 4c726adb54 feat: a wire can be picked and deleted, so a graph can be rewired
\`math_wire_at()\` samples the same cubic the draw lays down -- 24 segments,
well under a pixel of chord error at the scales this canvas allows -- and
\`Delete\` removes the picked one. It deliberately does not fall through to
deleting the selected node: a key whose target depends on an invisible
selection is how a graph gets destroyed by accident.

Martino Ferrari 8dd6b3db12 fix: a drag's release point is the press plus the offset, so a detached wire can be dropped
Record the press in canvas coordinates at drag-begin; use press+total-offset
in both the Wire update and drag-end, replacing the output-port round-trip
that placed the release a column away on a detach. Run the gesture probes at a
non-identity view (scale=2, x=50, y=20) so a missing math_to_graph call causes
failures rather than passing silently. Add a fifth probe: detach and release in
place must reconnect. Update the stale comment that described the deleted
two-click protocol.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 a7702acb63 docs: CLAUDE.md is a goal and a table of contents, so a context pays for what it reads
The file was 1967 lines and is auto-loaded into every context, so every
session paid for the whole of it to reach one invariant. It now carries the
project's goal, the three facts that are always relevant, and a table of
contents; the body is fourteen files under docs/claude/ reached by link
rather than by import, so nothing is loaded until it is asked for.

The content is moved verbatim -- the only edits are each file's own header
and the cross-references that became cross-file ("see the invariant below"
is now a link to the file that owns it).

Martino Ferrari 0b5ace9585 feat: a wire is dragged from port to port, and a wired input is dragged off
One state machine decided at `drag-begin` -- a port starts a wire, a box
moves it, the background pans -- so the two-click protocol and its armed-port
highlight are gone. A drag from an input empties it immediately, which makes
a release over nothing the detach gesture; `Escape` puts it back.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 9f589d5525 fix: the zoom probe calls math_zoom_at() directly, so it measures what it gave
The old assertion called math_canvas_scrolled(nullptr, ...) which resolves the
anchor itself from the event controller — with no controller it fell back to the
canvas centre (or a hardcoded 420x300 size when the widget was not yet allocated).
The probe then measured whether the graph point under (180, 140) was kept. Those
are two different points, so the difference printed was noise.

Extract math_zoom_at(d, px, py, dy) from the handler body: it takes an explicit
canvas anchor and guarantees the graph point under it is still under it after the
zoom. math_canvas_scrolled() resolves the anchor (from the event, or the widget's
own centre with no magic fallback dimensions) and delegates to it. The probe calls
math_zoom_at() with its chosen anchor directly, so dx and dy are an assertion on
the code rather than on the difference between two unrelated points.

Broken-anchor reading: dx=-180.0000 dy=0.0000. Fixed reading: dx=0.0000 dy=0.0000.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 b8d178eec6 feat: the node canvas zooms about the pointer and pans, so a graph can be read
One view transform applied to the cairo context, with `math_to_graph()` as
the inverse that every hit test runs -- a tolerance is a screen distance,
so it is divided by the scale rather than left in graph units. A wheel
zooms about the pointer, a background drag pans (next commit), `f` fits and
Ctrl+0 resets. The drawing area is made focusable, without which a key
controller on it never fires.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 84f310ee43 fix: a port hit names its own node, so the first click of a wire lands
\`math_port_at()\` returned a sentinel for an output hit and the caller
recovered the node with a box test -- but the output square straddles the
box's right edge, so every pixel past it disarmed the gesture silently.
That is the whole of "edges cannot be added".

Cancel also closed with \`gtk_window_destroy()\`, which emits no
\`close-request\`, so the dialog pointer was left dangling and no channel
could be edited twice.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 0866b744ad docs: a plan for the node editor, so each defect ships with the probe that saw it
Nine tasks, each ending in a commit: the silent disarm in the port hit test,
the view transform, the drag-based wiring, wire deletion, the topological
re-sort that makes a backwards wire legal, the live validation line, the op
picker, tidy, and the docs with the full verification run.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 96ee35da25 docs: a design for a node editor whose wires can be drawn, deleted and navigated
The reported "cannot add edges" has a specific cause: the output port's hit
radius reaches past the box it belongs to, and the press handler re-derives the
owning node with a box test, so clicking the visible dot's outer half sets
pending_out to -1 and silently disarms. Edge deletion has no code path at all.

The design replaces the two-click protocol with a drag gesture, makes the list
order the editor's own invariant via a topological re-sort rather than a rule the
user must obey, adds a view transform with every hit test routed through its
inverse, and trades the modal alert on Apply for a live validation line. It also
records that the Cancel button still calls gtk_window_destroy -- the dangling
dialog pointer CLAUDE.md documents as fixed was only fixed on the Apply path.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 f307d27e41 docs: a pause publish costs no packets, and the look is checked with frame path
An A/B of the same fast-mock run with and without a pause reads gaps=0 both
ways, the paused one having published in 86 ms -- so the gaps=73 recorded
yesterday as "a pause costs packet gaps, unexplained" was incidental load on
one run. It never scaled with the publish length and has not reproduced.

Record the publish figures as the range they actually span across runs
(event 69-115 ms, pause 22-86 ms) rather than as single readings, and name
`frame path:` across a pause as the check that the paused trace is drawn like
a live one -- raw=1 lod=555 against raw=0 lod=373, where the defect read
raw=21 lod=118.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 d2c51f2448 fix: a paused view carries its own LOD pyramid, so it is drawn like a held event
publish_pause_view() filled stamps, values and y and left pyramids empty, so
level_for() descended to raw samples and a frozen pause was re-gathered from
every sample it held on every frame. It cost draw time (12.34 -> 18.18 ms mean)
and, because stage_trace_density() normalises each column against its own peak,
it also changed how the trace looked -- which is how it was noticed.

Both publishes are now timed and reported as `publish cost:`, counted apart
because they stall opposite threads: the event publish runs on the producer
under mutex() and blocks the UI, the pause publish runs on the UI thread and
blocks the producer. That is the number a second live ring has to be judged
against.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 13574bfcef fix: a crossing is counted with hysteresis, so noise is not counted as cycles
period, frequency and pulse duration counted every sign change about a single
level, which is unusable on any real signal: the mid level is exactly where a
waveform moves fastest, so an interferer faster than the fundamental recrosses
it several times per true crossing. A 5 Hz sine with a 500 Hz tone at a tenth of
the amplitude read 79 crossings for 9, period=0.025622 against 0.2.

MeasureLevel gains a hysteresis band sized once in measure_set_level(): a tenth
of the window's peak-to-peak, clamped to half the room to the nearer extreme so
a threshold set near one stays usable. The band moves the edge decision only --
the sum/count split stays at the bare level, since that split is top/bottom and
has a documented exact reading. The bucket fast path tests the band and the
level separately rather than folding them, or it would refuse exactly the
buckets a crossing passes through: clean cost is unchanged at raw=0.1% and
1.41 ms a recompute.

tools/mock_udpstreamer.py gains --noise, defaulting to 0 so the exact probe
assertions still hold.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 b4b26d3e31 feat: a dense trace's columns are graded by dwell, so density reads as brightness
Stage 1 cured the moire by collapsing a dense gathered window onto one vertical
segment per pixel column; this is the information that collapse throws away. A
column's min and max are the same whether its samples are spread evenly or piled
at its two ends, so the flat parts of a square wave and the edges between them
drew as one ink. Style::intensity_grading, which the library leaves off and this
app turns on at the first tick (the renderer does not exist until the area is
realized), grades each column by the time the signal spent at each row -- the
digital-phosphor look.

frame path: gains a graded= field, which must equal columns=: grading is a way of
drawing the reduction, not a third path. UDPSCOPE_NO_PHOSPHOR=1 puts the style
back to the library's default and is the A/B, since a frame mean cannot attribute
its own cost -- measured on the fast mock, draw 3.24 ms graded against 2.30 ms,
with segments 1340/4157 against 131/4306 over the same lod=453 frames. That A/B
is also what found the level-floor regression now fixed upstream.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 5f5b87ca60 fix: a dense trace is drawn one pixel column at a time, so it cannot moiré
At a high rate, a high frequency or on noise the plots banded visibly and the bands
crawled under a pan. Three things compound to produce it, none a bug alone: a
pyramid bucket spans one to two pixel columns, Envelope emits two points per bucket
so each contributes a near-vertical hairline and a near-vertical connector, and
every one lands at a fractional x because a trace is deliberately not snapped --
so a column's brightness beats against the pixel grid, and a pan sweeps the beat.

The cure is upstream (deps/plotter, pin moved): draw_traces reduces such a window
onto the pixel grid, one snapped vertical segment per column from that column's
lowest to its highest value. One sub-pixel phase for the whole trace, so there is
nothing left to beat, and the geometry is bounded by axes.w rather than by the
buckets.

frame path: gains a columns= field, which is what separates "the segment count
collapsed because the reduction ran" from "the window got narrower". On the fast
mock at 3 kHz over 20 s: columns=1200, segments 2041/2237 over 1201 painted frames,
against columns=0, segments 10960/216093 over 263 before -- the same run at 4.6x
the frame rate, with trace ink: clean either way.

Also corrects the documented mock invocation: --batch 20000 exceeds the datagram
limit and the mock dies with Errno 90.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 62df049f53 fix: the plot's two side margins are balanced, and the dump outlives its widgets
With the axis titles gone the left gutter was 200 px of an 870 px viewport and the right
side had no margin at all, so the newest tick's label was drawn half outside the plot and
the newest sample's ink landed on the frame.

Two causes on the left. The reservation covered `format_si()`'s `%.3g` fallback
(`-1.23e-45`), which no signal on an `Si` axis produces -- the widest real label for a
unitless axis is `-1.23m` -- and `note_y_gutter()` added 6 px of slack to a figure that is
already the maximum of the labels and last frame's floor, making the gutter a ratchet that
climbed to its 200 px cap in ~19 frames. It settles at 104 px now, with `axes.w changes: 1`
where it read 17.

The right side did not exist: a plot's `axes` rect reached the viewport's right edge by
construction. `deps/plotter` gains `Plot::set_right_gutter()` and `Figure::set_right_gutter()`
-- a want rather than a measurement, since nothing is drawn there, imposed figure-wide so
the rows end on one column as they already start on one. udpscope asks for half the widest
time label plus the label padding (59 px), x labels being centred on their tick.

Separately: the exit dump asked two destroyed widgets for their size, which is where the
"exactly two Gtk-CRITICALs" baseline came from. The pointer is freed memory by then, so a
run that had destroyed other windows first (UDPSCOPE_PROBE_HELP_MS opens three) segfaulted
in the middle of the dump instead. Both sizes are captured on the tick; a clean run now
carries no critical.

Martino Ferrari 811c6d80f0 fix: a source that has sent no CONFIG reads connecting, not connected
A stream that answered CONNECT but has sent no CONFIG has no signal list, so
nothing can be enabled and no DATA frame is owed. Calling that "connected, but
no data is arriving: another reader may hold the source" blamed a second reader
that does not exist, and the badge blinked green over it -- a working pipeline
is exactly what it did not have.

The glance word is `connecting` (ten characters, no wider than `event held`,
so the fixed-set layout rule still holds) and the badge takes a fourth, steady
yellow phase, both from the first frame rather than after the three-second
stall test. The stall notice itself now splits on `have_config`: the unicast
contention wording where a signal list exists, "trying to connect" where it
does not, with `[udpscope] connecting:` on stderr beside the old `starved:`.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 b313cac46e feat: the x axis is relative to now, and an export carries both clocks
Three asked-for changes, one commit because they are one coordinate system.

The live axis is a fixed [-window, 0] with the newest sample at 0, so x reads
as an age and the labels stand still while the trace rolls under them. That
makes the display clock distinct from the stream clock for the first time, so
`ScopeModel::stream_at_x0()` becomes the single conversion between them
(`display_x = stream_t - stream_at_x0()` in all four modes) and a snapshot
carries its own origin in `EventSnapshot::x_offset`. The pause view is now
rebased like an event's, reversing an earlier deliberate choice: a frozen
absolute-stamped picture would sit a whole uptime right of a newest-relative
axis. That also fixed a latent bug, the export adding `trigger_time()` to a
*paused* view's stamps.

The status bar says how long you have been paused -- wall time, since the
producer never stops, through `format_elapsed()` so the field cannot widen.

The export writes two time columns: `time`, the axis as displayed, and
`abs_seconds`, the stream's own clock for the same sample. f64 seconds and
not the wire's integer, because `udps_frame_t::values` is a `const double*`
and the integer never exists in this process.

Cursors and measurement marks move in opposite directions under the rolling
axis, deliberately: a cursor is a position on screen and stays put, a mark
names a sample and travels with it. `App::measure_window` is stream-clocked
for a sharper reason -- a display-coordinate live window never moves, so the
"the window moved" recompute would never fire again.

Moves the deps/plotter pin to 58473db, which stops a time label's mantissa
reaching its own radix: a one-second tick differenced off a live axis read
`1e+3ms`.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 2f4530c128 fix: a zoomed trace is drawn on the x its readout quotes
gather() staged x as f32 relative to the series' own x0() -- the start of
the whole retained window -- so the quantisation was a fraction of the
ring rather than of the view: 1.9 us at 20 s of retained data, which at a
10 us view across a 716 px axis is over 100 px between where a sample is
drawn and the x a readout quotes for it (crosshair_point() reads x_at()
in exact f64). It halved on every zoom out, which is what made it read as
"zooming in makes the crosshair select a point beside the data".

The origin is now the caller's (plotter c2c8c59): the renderer passes the
visible range's minimum, so the error is a fixed 2^-24 of what is on
screen -- about 4e-5 px over a 700 px axis -- at any zoom. The parameter
sits before out_xy so every call site is a compile error rather than a
silent change of behaviour.

The renderer no longer reads series.x0() at paint time at all, which
removes two of the three symptoms of the torn window_x0_ read by
construction; the ink probe's now-vacuous kept_fixed_x0 walk goes with
them, replaced by a drawn-vs-quoted pixel figure. neighbours() still
tests the visible range against x_at(0), so the cache stays load-bearing.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 39f30d913f fix: the t0 caption is chrome anchored to the axis, not an annotation in the data
The caption that names the relative x labels' anchor was an `Annotation`, whose anchor
is a data coordinate -- so it crawled across the plot under a pan and drifted under a
zoom, which is how it was reported. It is now `Plot::set_x_note()`: the bottom row's
caption, drawn by the renderer in the axes' bottom-left corner in pixels, on the
legend's own backplate.

The text stays the host's, because only the host knows that label + caption has to be
the exact absolute time (`%.6g`, where `format_time()` would round to three figures).

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 e2985aa159 fix: the x labels go relative on what a label can write, not on the span
A `t0 = ...` caption appeared on every sub-second window, including a
triggered one whose axis is already relative to the edge -- so the ticks
were re-anchored away from the one position a triggered axis exists to
show, and the caption had nothing to explain.

The form is now decided by the tick step against `TickFormat::Time`'s own
resolution at the axis' magnitude (three significant figures below a
minute, whole seconds through `m:ss` to a day, three figures of days
above). The span said nothing about that and was wrong both ways: a 2 s
window at twenty minutes of uptime reads `20:00` on every tick and stayed
absolute.

The step is read back from the last layout's majors (a tick value depends
on the range and the axis width, not on the label form); with no ticks yet
the form is left alone rather than guessed, since the hysteresis would
latch a guess. Entering the relative form carries a ULP of slack, because
`step == res` is readable and a bare comparison of two differently
computed doubles flipped the form between frames.

`[timelabels-probe]` and the dump gain `distinct=`, which asserts that no
two major labels read the same -- the thing the relative form is for, and
the only reading that holds whatever the stream's uptime is.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 b505706d92 fix: a readout keeps its metric prefix when the stream declares no unit
The SI prefix ladder in format_measure() was gated on a non-empty unit, so two
decimals of a small unitless value printed `0.00` -- the reading gone, not merely
coarse. That is a whole class of channels rather than a corner: a CONFIG need not
declare a unit, and a math channel never has one. Below 1e-12 the same loss
happened even with a unit, so that range falls back to three significant digits.

With no unit the prefix goes tight against the number (`585.24m`), since the space
exists to separate the number from its unit and a spaced `m` alone reads as metres.

The mock declared `unit="V"` for every data signal, which is why no probe could see
this; it now takes `--unit ''`.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 3d7e214295 fix: a fit undoes an x zoom instead of redefining the time window
The previous commit took "fit x sets the window properly" to mean a fit should
frame the data and propagate that as the new time scale. It should not: a fit is
a plot interaction, and the window is also the trigger's event span and how the
samples are stored, so a fit that framed the data could re-plan the rings and
drop the history on a menu click. What a fit means here is the undo of a zoom --
a 2 s window zoomed into reads 2 s again.

`fit_x()` therefore reads `window_s_` and never writes it. Live it takes the
window-control path with the window already set, which re-arms the follow and
parks the newest span at the live edge. Pinned -- a held event, a filling capture
or a paused view -- it restores the pin's full range, which is the snapshot's own
span and may be narrower than the requested window, and it writes the per-row
member axes as well as the link group: `hold_pinned_window()` prefers a member
that differs from `pinned_stated_`, so writing the group alone is reverted to the
zoomed range one frame later. `apply_window_scale()` is folded back into
`apply_time_window()`, which the window control is again the only caller of.

The probe now zooms in before fitting, since otherwise there is nothing to undo,
and reports `pinned=`. `window` and `event_span` must be unchanged on every line.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 9888fd9977 fix: only a window change sets the time scale; a fit states the whole of it
The time scale is more than the axis: it is also the trigger's event span, the
buffer partition and the control's readout. A zoom or a pan was already clean --
the controller writes the member axis and `clamp_to_data()` caps the span -- but
both fits moved `window_s_` alone and only restated the control. The event span
then stayed on the previous window until the next decade step or unit change
applied the fitted value for real, so one action changed the time scale twice.

`apply_window_scale()` is split out of `apply_time_window()` for the fits to use:
it moves the partition, the event span, the control and the session, and leaves
the view alone, because `set_time_window()` re-arms the live follow and would
throw a held event or a paused view back onto the stream. The fits report the
span they framed, `fit_all()` delegates its x half to `fit_x()` so the two cannot
drift, and the probe drives the menu handlers rather than `RowSet` so it sees the
half that lives there. `[fit-probe]` gained `event_span=`, which must equal
`window=` on every line.

Also moves the plotter pin to 03c41ad (three build warnings, no behaviour).

Martino Ferrari 1f6738031a fix: a readout mark sits on the sample it quotes, not on the pointer's column
The value was already the nearest stored sample's, but every mark drawn for it was
placed at the *marker's* x with that sample's y -- so the dot the eye follows and the
number in the pane were a different datum whenever the marker fell between two samples.
Half a sample period is nothing across a whole window and the width of the panel once a
few samples span the axes, which is the only zoom at which anyone is asking which point
a number came from.

`place_crossings()` now goes through the plotter's new `Plot::crosshair_point()`, which
returns the quoted sample's x alongside its y -- one lookup for the mark and the number,
so they cannot name different samples. The dot consequently sits a little off its own
vertical cursor line: the line is where the marker is, the dot is the datum being quoted,
and between two samples those are two places.

Pin moves to the upstream commit that does the same for the library's own hover crosshair
and draws its mark larger than a trace's sample dots, and that keeps the old blend
reachable as `CrosshairValue::Interpolated` -- which udpscope never states.

Verified: plotter suite 370 cases 0 failed; `[cursors-probe]` lines=3 marks=6 with
`first mark at x=3.292400 y=-0.525175` against the pane's `-525.17 mV`; `[help]`
pages=14 parsed=14 closed ok.
2026-10-05 14:41:02 +02:00
Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 d03c9fb443 fix: a cursor readout quotes the nearest stored sample, not a value between two
The crosshair and the cursors pane's mix values are one library call, and it
interpolated linearly between the two samples bracketing the pointer. That is
wrong twice over here. Ingest decimation is a boxcar average over `time_stride`
samples, so a number computed between two stored samples is a second, undeclared
estimate laid over the first that nothing on screen or in an export holds. And
past the sample spacing the polyline is a line the renderer drew, so quoting a
point on it reports the drawing rather than the data.

The fix is upstream and unconditional (plotter c028f48): `crosshair_span()`'s `t`
selects the nearer end instead of blending, with a tie reading the earlier
sample. `CrosshairRow::marker` is placed from the same y, so the dot follows the
quoted sample.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 ec93a9831d fix: store the stream clock as f64, so a stamp's precision does not decay with uptime
The time ring was f32 like the values, holding each stamp relative to an epoch
fixed at the first sample ever seen -- so the number stored grew for as long as
the app ran while the interval it had to resolve stayed one sample period. At
1 MS/s the f32 ULP reaches the sample period after about sixteen seconds, so two
to four consecutive samples rounded onto one stamp after half a minute and eight
after a minute. On screen that is a plateau the LOD envelope draws as a
zero-width segment -- a vertical spike where the waveform should be -- and in an
export it was three distinct diffs at 2, 2.5 and 3 ULP instead of one clock.

A value's precision is a property of the signal; a timestamp's is a property of
how long the scope has been running. Only the clock widens: the values are the
memory budget. That makes the two slices different sizes per slot, so
plan_partition() weighs its growth loop in bytes rather than in slots (and
bytes_for() is what bounds the doubling); live_window_locked() loses the f32
round-trip of its bounds, which existed only to keep a sample sitting exactly on
one; and EventSnapshot::stamps is f64 because a pause view is not rebased and so
carries full stream time.

Verified against the fast mock: np.diff over two million exported rows now holds
exactly one step (1e-06, 1999999 times), no duplicate or backwards stamps, and
the 200 MB ring still spans 8.39 s. Every documented probe assertion unchanged.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 eb4372242c fix: time a FIRST_SAMPLE stream by its cadence, not by a second stamp
A UDPS_TIME_FIRST_SAMPLE time signal carries one meaningful value -- the
batch's first sample -- but a scalar signal in Accumulate mode still occupies
num_samples slots on the wire, which a producer fills by repeating that
anchor. Deriving the step from value_of(n - 1) therefore came out as zero, so
every sample of a frame landed on one x, the degeneracy guard tripped, and the
whole stream was timed by packet arrival instead. On a 1 MS/s source that
arrival clock is not monotonic within a frame: the export's time column held
90559 order breaks.

Space the batch by the cadence, exactly as the LAST_SAMPLE branch beside it
already dates its own batch backwards. The export's time column is now
strictly increasing (0 duplicates, 0 backwards steps) and reads the declared
1 MS/s.

mock_udpstreamer gains --time-mode {full,first}; it could only emit
FULL_ARRAY, so nothing exercised this branch. In 'first' it repeats the anchor
across the batch's wire slots -- the shape that produced the defect -- while
still generating the waveforms from the real per-sample stamps.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 e2be597698 docs: the app icon, AdwAboutDialog and the desktop entry
Records the app icons: assertion and why it stops short of claiming the icon

is why the manifest validates through xmllint at build time instead. Scopes the
'filled paths only' authoring rule to symbolic icons, since the colour icon
strokes its sine and is never recoloured. Revises the windows invariant to one
GtkWindow and two AdwDialogs, and documents the desktop-entry target with the
build-path caveat it comes with.

Two findings from the regression run are recorded as well. The icons' generated
GResource crossed C99's 4095-byte string-literal limit when the app icons joined
the action ones, so the build's warning baseline is five, not four. And the
app icons: line's has_icon() half is satisfied by an installed theme copy, so on
a machine that has run --target desktop-entry it reads ok even with the resource
path broken; toolbar icons: is the sensitive line for that.

Two code-review findings:

1. Add a guard in cmake/install_desktop_entry.cmake that fails visibly when both

2. Replace the plan's tail-based verification with grep, because cmake's
   FATAL_ERROR message and ninja's "build stopped" lines push the actual
   rejection message out of the last four lines. The grep command reliably finds
   the expected "desktop-file-validate rejected" string.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 a055325831 feat: a desktop entry, installed by an opt-in CMake target
The entry's Exec is the built binary's absolute path, so it always launches what
was last built -- and moving the build directory breaks it, which is the price
of having no install step. An install() rule would make a second copy that can
diverge; a documented cp would need the binary on PATH, which it is not.

The target writes the entry and both icons under XDG_DATA_HOME, refreshes the
desktop and icon caches when the tools are there, and runs
desktop-file-validate as a hard failure -- the shell ignores a malformed entry
in silence, so the failure belongs at the moment the entry is asked for. It
prints the three paths it wrote, which is the uninstall instructions.

Martino Ferrari 33eee0c8d0 feat: the About dialog on AdwAboutDialog, showing the app icon
AdwAboutDialog puts the application icon in its own header, which is what the
app now has one for, and adw_about_window_new() is deprecated in favour of it.
It is an AdwDialog and not a GtkWindow, so it clears on ::closed and closes with
adw_dialog_close() -- the same trap the shortcut overview documents, and both
dialogs now share one handler keyed by the pointer to clear.

Two gains while mapping the fields: system_information becomes debug_info, which
renders as a Troubleshooting page with a copy button, and the string behind it
becomes a std::string rather than a char[1024] that truncated a long settings
path in silence.

The probe now reads the icon name back out of the open dialog, so it is asserted
to carry the icon rather than merely to open.

Martino Ferrari 6deb53c458 feat: show the app icon on the window, and assert it is really there
The resource-path registration moves from build_toolbar() up into run_ui(),
because the window's icon is now a second consumer of it and this is the one
place ahead of both. Whichever consumer ran first would otherwise resolve its
name to nothing, with no error -- GTK draws a missing-image placeholder.

The new 'app icons:' dump line is the guard, computed on the first tick beside
'toolbar icons:'. It reports named-and-present at the size the file declares,
and deliberately does not claim the file renders: no runtime GTK call can see a
malformed SVG, which is why the manifest validates at build time instead.

Martino Ferrari f3d68cfdd4 feat: an app icon in colour and symbolic form, validated at build time
Both are drawn to the GNOME HIG: a 128px instrument face that leaves its
margins, carries one 4px front profile for depth and no gradients or shadows,
and a 16px symbolic reduction of the same metaphor in fills only. The colour
icon strokes its sine because it is never recoloured; the symbolic one cannot.

Every file in the manifest now preprocesses through xmllint, because a
malformed SVG is the one icon failure no runtime check can see: librsvg refuses
the file while the name still resolves, so the icon draws nothing and
has_icon() says it is fine.

validation, the window icon plus the registration move and the app icons:
assertion, the AdwAboutDialog migration, the opt-in desktop-entry target, and
the documentation with the full regression run.

Written assertion-first, since the project has no unit suite: each task's first
step adds the probe or dump line and watches it read MISSING. Both negative
tests are real -- one breaks an SVG comment and requires the build to fail, the
other breaks Type= and requires the target to FATAL_ERROR.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 e17c650ea7 docs: correct the spec's icon verification to a build-time check
The spec asserted that a paintable's intrinsic size reads 0x0 for an SVG
librsvg refuses. It does not: gtk_icon_theme_lookup_icon() never returns NULL
and always reports the requested size, and a valid icon, a malformed one and an
absent name all snapshot to the same texture node. GMarkup accepts the double
hyphen, and gdk-pixbuf goes through glycin here and refuses our own icons.

So the malformed file is caught by preprocess="xml-stripblanks", which runs
xmllint during glib-compile-resources and fails the build with file, line and
column. The runtime line keeps its format but asserts only what it can: the
name resolves, the resource is present, and the root element declares the size.

The whole-branch review found README describing a toolbar "?" button that

export bound to Ctrl+E, and a help window that opens "on the page nearest
to what the user was doing" when it unconditionally selects Overview. All
four would send a reader looking for something that is not there. The key
table also claimed to be full while omitting F1, Ctrl+/ and Ctrl+Q, and
did not say that `f` is the plot's own key rather than an app accelerator.

format_rate() is %.3g, so it prints "10 kS/s"; the two doc comments in
status_text.hpp and the example in help page 01 still said "10.0 kS/s" —
the same error already corrected in 14-status.txt and CLAUDE.md, left in
the header that declares the function and in a second user-facing page.

close_help_windows()'s comment described only gtk_window_close(), and
show_shortcuts()'s called the overview "hand-rolled"; the Adwaita rework
made one half-true and the other false.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 d65a121a9a refactor: build the shortcut overview from AdwShortcutsDialog
The hand-rolled grid existed to avoid GTK's deprecated GtkShortcutsWindow;
libadwaita 1.8's AdwShortcutsDialog is the supported replacement, so use the
platform widget and get its search, sectioning and shortcut labels for free.

The table strings become GTK accelerator syntax, since the shortcut label parses
them. The six mouse rows cannot: no accelerator syntax names a wheel or a drag,
so they carry an empty accelerator and prose in the new subtitle field.

adw_init() is called in run_ui() and in choose_source() (replacing its
gtk_init()), which means the whole app is drawn with libadwaita's stylesheet.
Verified settled: viewport.w 870..870, axes.w changes 2, x-desync 0.

The pages are Pango markup in a GResource, bundled for the same reason the icons

--c-name=udpscope_help keeps the two generated bundles from colliding.

Every page is validated with pango_parse_markup() at load and falls back to a
one-line stand-in rather than rendering raw markup or nothing. show_help() reuses
help_window.cpp's existing close-request handler, and closes via
gtk_window_close() so that handler runs and the pointer is nulled.

windows, closes both and reports; parsed must equal pages.

The probe's doc-comment advised running it inside a pinned state "so the _held
readings mean the other axis did not move" — but the reads happen in the same
callback as the key events, so no frame can intervene and nothing can re-frame.
Worse, the advice hid the real reason the read is synchronous, which is the
opposite of what the pan and zoom probes do and so invites a future reader to
"fix" it: hold_pinned_window() clamps the x span into the pinned window, so a
reading taken a frame later would report that clamp's answer rather than the
restriction's for the ctrl case. Name the actual bug class a deferred read would
confuse it with, and point at the probe that does assert figure adoption.

std::fabs for the two span comparisons, matching the file's existing idiom —
<cstdlib> is also in scope here.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 82f91d00c0 docs: implementation plan for the help/shortcuts/status work
Eleven tasks over the approved spec: build info and About, the plotter's
ctrl/alt axis-restricted zoom, 14 help pages, the accelerator table and
overview window, the app key controller, and the two-tier status bar.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 6b148f82a6 docs: design for the About/shortcuts/help windows and a two-tier status bar
Four features the user asked for together: an About dialog (version, build
timestamp, settings path), a shortcut overview covering the keyboard and the
mouse, a fourteen-page help window, and a status bar split into a short glance
line plus a details popover so the plot's own row stops being crowded.

Records one deviation from the approved design: keyboard zoom-x/zoom-y use
ctrl/alt rather than shift, because `+` *is* shift+`=` on the common layouts and
a bare zoom-in therefore already arrives with Shift set.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 53815ad8bc fix a GLib critical from cancelling the pick probe's timeout
The lifetime fix in ffec797 removes the UDPSCOPE_PROBE_PICK_MS timeout after
the nested loop returns, so a row picked before the delay elapsed cannot leave
an armed source pointing at a gone stack frame. But the probe returns
G_SOURCE_REMOVE on every path, so on the ordinary run -- the probe fires, picks
row 0 and the loop quits -- the id was already stale and the removal printed
"Source ID N was not found when attempting to remove it" on every probe run.

The id moves onto the Chooser and pick_probe clears it on entry, so the
cancellation applies only to a probe that never fired.

Martino FerrariandClaude Sonnet 4.6 ffec797462 fix code-review findings in the source-chooser feature
Seven correctness and documentation fixes found in the final review:

- `known_sources()`: check the strtol end pointer and add a round-trip
  guard so a filename that layout_path() could not have produced is
  rejected; without it `foo_8000x.toml` listed as `foo:8000` whose `x`
  would unlink `foo_8000.toml`, a different configured session.
- `chooser_finish()`: destroy the form window before the chooser window;
  a row click or Escape while the form was up left a window whose handlers
  pointed at a dead stack frame (latent use-after-free).
- `choose_source()`: keep the pick_probe timeout id and g_source_remove
  it after the loop; a row picked before the delay elapsed left an armed
  source on the main context pointing at the gone frame.
- `chooser_populate()`: replace a false comment ("not a GtkListBoxRow")
  with the truth — GTK4 auto-wraps, but the wrapped row carries no
  source-index data so the bounds check refuses it.
- `pick_probe()`: collapse the duplicate `known.empty()` / `row==nullptr`
  guards; the second was unreachable and two identical lines for one cause
  makes probe output ambiguous.
- `save_layout()`: state the TOML rule directly in the multicast/interface
  comment rather than cross-referencing the adjacent enabled comment.
- `save_layout_now()`: refuse to write when signals() is empty; a run
  against a dead port receives no CONFIG, so every slot name is empty and
  the save would overwrite a configured session with signals=["",...],
  which the chooser filter refuses, silently removing that source from
  the only list it can be picked from.
- Fix include order in layout_store.cpp (<cstdio> before <cstdlib>).
- Update CLAUDE.md and README.md to document the empty-signals guard and
  fix the probe-output quote to match the emitted text exactly.

Both files, per this project's rule: the probe entries and the two invariants
in CLAUDE.md, the feature and why the list is filtered in README.

Martino Ferrari 54e840e590 the new-host connection form
Server, port, multicast group and interface, and nothing else: --buffer-mb and
friends are tuning rather than which source, and a form that asks for them is
one a user has to read first. The form's widgets live on the chooser, which
outlives them, so no close path frees a live context.
2026-10-04 00:32:32 +02:00
Martino Ferrari b18b8a5b04 the source chooser's list
One row per stored session, titled by its server -- the host the file is named
after and the one CONFIG comes from -- with the group as subtitle. A forget
repopulates rather than removing one row, because the rows carry their index
into the list and dropping one renumbers the rest.
2026-10-04 00:26:20 +02:00
Martino Ferrari 0be3feecc5 ask which source to open when --server is absent
The chooser runs before ScopeModel exists, so declining costs no buffer and no
socket. UDPSCOPE_PROBE_SOURCES=1 prints what the discovery found and exits,
before gtk_init(), so the list is checkable with no display.

Martino Ferrari 9ae059db1b save the connection with the session
collect_layout() now reports the multicast group and interface the app was
launched with, so a stored session says how to reach its source and not just
which host and port it was.
2026-10-04 00:12:03 +02:00
Martino Ferrari eabdde34f9 list the sources with a stored session
known_sources() reads the session files the layout store already owns, keeping
only those that name a signal: a development machine accumulates one file per
probe run on a throwaway port, and all 140 of them here hold empty slots.
2026-10-04 00:08:15 +02:00
Martino Ferrari c604d62917 session file records how the source was reached
A session is named <host>_<port>.toml, which cannot say whether that source
was multicast or which interface it joined on, so a chooser row could not
reconnect to one. Both go in the top block: a bare key after a [[table]]
header belongs to that table, which is how the enabled key was lost once.

Martino Ferrari a066d48a3a plan: source chooser at startup
Seven tasks, each ending in a probe assertion rather than a unit test -- this
project's regression net is the headless probes, not a suite. The spec's
multicast round trip is split across three tasks so nothing in the plan needs a
group this machine can join.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 78065715b6 design: source chooser at startup
Launched with no --server, udpscope silently connects to 127.0.0.1:8000 and
offers no way to pick a source or see which ones it already knows. The design
is a pre-flight dialog: it runs before ScopeModel exists, so a cancel costs no
buffer and no socket and the existing pipeline is untouched.

The list is built from the stored session files, filtered to those naming at
least one signal -- a development machine accumulates one file per probe run on
a throwaway port, 140 of them here -- and the session format gains multicast and
interface keys so a row can reconnect exactly.

Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 a92a6b5bf0 fixed plot flicker, measurement cost and toolbar icons
The flicker ("no data" at no constant frequency, worse with the measurements
and cursors panes up) was a torn read of the window's first stamp: acquire()
pins the window to the ring's oldest slot, and reading it at paint time races
the producer lapping it, returning a stamp one ring span too new. x0() is the
origin every trace point is reconstructed from, so one torn read produced a
refused neighbours(), a filter that dropped three quarters of the points, and
a polyline shifted off its axis. It is cached by acquire() under the lock now.

EventSeries::neighbours() answered from the (x - x0)/dx grid, whose drift from
the real arrival stamps arrives as a constant offset in seconds -- a doubling
share of the screen per zoom step, which is the "zooming into a held event
clips it more from the left" report. Both series binary-search the stamps now.

The measurements pane went through the LOD pyramid rather than reading its
window raw (19.7 ms per recompute to 1.2 ms, 0.1% of a 2 M-sample window) and
recomputes on a cadence; the math engine lost a per-slot heap allocation, a
per-sample source lookup by name and a fetch_add that cost more than the
arithmetic it counted.

The cursors pane's mix mode drew a line per *named* slot, so a slot holding a
signal that can never produce a channel -- the stream's timestamp -- got a row
that could only read "--", and such names were re-saved every session. It
counts bound traces now and apply_layout() refuses them.

Four toolbar icons are drawn for this app and compiled in as a GResource: the
stock ones were a record dot for the trigger and three magnifiers for cursors,
measurements and math.

New probes and dump lines for all of it (trace ink, measure cost, math cost,
event zoom, toolbar icons); README and CLAUDE.md record what they cure.
