Test, Build and Push / test-gateway (push) Successful in 10s
Test, Build and Push / release (push) Skipped
Test, Build and Push / build-gateway (push) Skipped
Wi-Fi data path FIXED: esp_hosted 2.12 on both chips + C6 SDIO auto-OTA
Root cause of the dead data path (assoc/scan/RPC fine, zero data
frames): esp-hosted 1.4.x is formally incompatible with IDF 5.5
(esp-hosted-mcu#47) and the factory C6 slave firmware was ancient
(couldn't even answer a version RPC). Waveshare's examples pin 1.4.* —
do not follow them.

Fix:
- host: espressif/esp_hosted ^2.12 (+ esp_wifi_remote 1.6)
- slave: 2.12.11 network_adapter.bin embedded in the app (c6_ota.c
  streams it to the C6 over the SDIO RPC channel at boot when the
  reported version is < 2.x; ~10s, no wires, idempotent)
- RAM diet for hosted 2.x's footprint (MEMPOOL_PREFER_SPIRAM,
  reduced WIFI_RMT buffers) — without it internal SRAM famine
  boot-loops in xTaskCreateStaticPinnedToCore before app_main
- conservative 20MHz SDIO clock for first verified data path

Verified on hardware: DHCP lease (even that healed), 8/8 pings to
router and tower-of-joy at 1-5ms, WebSocket to the gateway connected,
device registered at /devices as desklock-p4 with fw version.

Also: wifi_diag.c L1 SoftAP diagnostic mode (DESKLOCK-DIAG) with
review fixes, boot ping ladder in net.c, static-IP fallback,
face_status() line, docs for the whole failure taxonomy.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Claude Code-specific notes for this project. For architecture, hard rules, and full command reference — see AGENTS.md, and read it before starting work.

Quick orientation

DeskLock = firmware for a Waveshare ESP32-P4 round-display device (firmware/, ESP-IDF/C/LVGL) plus a voice gateway container (gateway/, Python/FastAPI, port 8600) that bridges device audio to the Tatlock butler API. The device↔gateway WebSocket protocol lives in docs/architecture.md and must stay in sync with both implementations.

Commands

# Firmware (requires `source ~/esp-idf/export.sh` first; IDF ≥ 5.4)
cd firmware && idf.py build
idf.py -p /dev/ttyACM0 flash monitor

# Gateway
cd gateway && make setup    # once
make run                    # dev server :8600
make test                   # pytest; single test: .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_health.py -k healthz
make lint typecheck

Gotchas

  • ESP-IDF v5.5 lives at ~/esp-idf (source ~/esp-idf/export.sh). Flash via sg dialout -c … (see AGENTS.md) — the login session predates dialout membership.
  • PSRAM 200 MHz requires CONFIG_IDF_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES=y — without it the option silently degrades to 20 MHz and the DSI display underruns into a watchdog loop. Details in AGENTS.md.
  • Wi-Fi = esp_hosted 2.x on BOTH chips (host manifest + C6 slave, auto-OTA'd from main/c6_slave.bin). 1.x on IDF 5.5 gives working control RPC but a dead data path (the great July 14th debugging night). Boot-loop assert on xTaskCreateStaticPinnedToCore = internal-RAM famine. Details in AGENTS.md.
  • Gateway speech deps are optional extras; make setup alone runs the app and tests without GPU/ML packages. make setup uses python3.12 (system python3 is 3.8).
  • Tatlock replies open with a <think> block — always strip via tatlock.strip_reasoning() before TTS or display.
  • Low power is a prime user requirement: see "Power management" in docs/architecture.md before touching the face/render loop.
