A MoonLive script now has room for twice as many branches, so the StadBeest's Sauron eye blinks, and the eye orb blinks too. A script service keeps its saved settings across a restart, a desk's knob rings fill over the range of what each knob drives, and the StadBeest page opens with a welcome for the visitors who scan its QR code.

Core

  • MoonLiveService declares its controls at prepare, so the values a file holds for a script's own controls land after the compile instead of being dropped. The autopilot's scene length reset to 180 at every boot; verified on the legs across a reflash.
  • MoonLive assemblers: a label is a two-byte code position (CodePos, kUnbound), so 96 labels fit the stack 48 took. bind refuses a position past it. The host assembler's label and fixup methods have one definition, in its header.
  • ControlModule: targetOf, splitTarget, targetRange and rangeOf replace three copies of the Module.control parsing; a knob given another target resends its ring.
  • MidiService scales an encoder's ring to its target's range, so bpm at 120 fills the ring.

Light domain

  • StadBeest: Sauron blinks by closing its almond, the eye orb by closing its rows. The autopilot times each scene from its own start, so moving its scene length (now on fader 8) leaves the running scene alone, and uses stadbeest-fire in a third of the thrusters scenes.
  • ParallelLedDriver: the encode instrument's comment names what it measures.

Tests

  • A saved value of a script's own control survives the boot.
  • A shared Mackie desk turns a knob down as well as up through the bridge and RTP-MIDI.
  • A knob ring fills over its target's range, and follows a new target with the same value.
  • The assembler stack tripwire counts device table bytes; the framerate sweep sets its clock before setup, which made it flaky.

Docs/CI

  • The StadBeest page opens for visitors: what it is, a message button, and an invitation to read on; its title names the StadBeest, while the URL and the menu entry stay. Fader 8 is the autopilot's scene length; the QCon photo; the MIDI details describe the ring range; backlog-core records what remains of the branch tables.

Verified on the bench

  • Legs and both eyes run this firmware since last night: Sauron and the eye orb compile and blink, the scene length survives a reflash.
  • The QCon's knobs send bytes for both directions during one turn (01/08 among 41/48), read from the raw stream; that is the desk, and a firmware update through iMAP is next. Faders are clean.
  • The 96-label table runs on the S3s; a C3, a classic ESP32 and a P4 compile every script through their real code generators in the host tests.

Reviews

  • 👾 A ring kept its old scale when a knob got a new target with the same value → rings resent on a target change, pinned.
  • 👾 Sauron's almond popped half a light wider at a blink's edges → exact at both ends.
  • 👾 Eye-orb lids checked every row every frame → a loop over the closed rows only.
  • 👾 Stale "-1 = unbound" comment → kUnbound.
  • 👾 driveSurface looked its target up twice → one rangeOf, one lookup.
  • 👾 The hub-support hint left the page, and the menu keeps its title → both as decided.
  • 🐇 ringShare could overflow int for a target with a wide range → 64-bit arithmetic.
  • 🐇 "the thrusters scenes" → "thruster scenes".
  • 🐇 Store the scene length at its start → declined: a long scene would run its full length after a shorter one is set; the comment now says what the live comparison does.
  • 🐇 The shared-desk test uses loopback sockets and sleeps → declined: it follows the file's other RTP-MIDI tests; a fake transport for all of them is its own change.

**Core**
- MoonLiveService declares its controls at prepare, so the values a file holds for a script's own controls land after the compile instead of being dropped (the autopilot's scene length reset to 180 at every boot).
- MoonLive assemblers: a label is a two-byte code position (`CodePos`, `kUnbound`), so 96 labels fit the stack 48 took; `bind` refuses a position past it. The host assembler's label and fixup methods have one definition, in its header.
- ControlModule: `targetOf`, `splitTarget`, `targetRange` and `rangeOf` replace three copies of the Module.control parsing; a knob given another target resends its ring.
- MidiService scales an encoder's ring to its target's range.

**Light domain**
- StadBeest Sauron blinks by closing its almond, the eye orb by closing its rows; the autopilot times each scene from its own start, so moving its scene length leaves the running scene alone, and uses stadbeest-fire in a third of the thrusters scenes.
- ParallelLedDriver: the encode instrument's comment names what it measures.

**Tests**
- A saved value of a script's own control survives the boot; a shared Mackie desk turns a knob down as well as up through RTP-MIDI; a knob ring fills over its target's range, and follows a new target with the same value; the assembler tripwire counts device table bytes; the framerate sweep sets its clock before setup.

Walkthrough

This pull request updates StadBeest effects and installation guidance, control-surface target and encoder feedback handling, MoonLive assembler label storage, and repository reports and performance measurements.

Changes

StadBeest effects and installation guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Eye effects and autopilot behavior
moonlive/effects/stadbeest-eye-orb.mle, moonlive/effects/stadbeest-sauron.mle, moonlive/services/stadbeest-autopilot.mls
Both eye effects add timed blinking. The autopilot measures each scene duration from its start time and selects palette 64 in one third of thruster scenes.
Installation guide and control mappings
docs/how-to/multi-board-installation.md
The guide updates its introduction, assigns faders to look controls and autopilot duration, and revises its palette and MIDI bridge details.

Control-surface target and feedback handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Assignment resolution and range handling
src/core/system/ControlModule.h
ControlModule centralizes target parsing and range calculations for surface assignments, including exclusive upper bounds for select and palette controls.
Encoder feedback and automap refresh
src/core/services/MidiService.h, src/core/system/ControlModule.h, docs/moonmodules/core/services.md, test/unit/core/unit_ControlModule.cpp
Encoder feedback scales to the assigned target range. Automap changes resend encoder values. Tests cover ring scaling, target changes, and forwarded MIDI direction.
Script controls during preparation
src/core/services/MoonLiveService.h, test/unit/core/unit_MoonLiveService.cpp
MoonLive declares controls during preparation. A regression test checks that stored state sets a compiled script control before tree preparation.

MoonLive assembler label capacity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Label positions across host and device assemblers
src/core/moonlive/MoonLiveIr.h, src/platform/desktop/moonlive_asm_host.h, src/platform/desktop/moonlive_asm_*.cpp, src/platform/esp32/moonlive_asm_riscv.*, src/platform/esp32/moonlive_asm_xtensa.*
Label positions use the shared 16-bit CodePos type and kUnbound sentinel. The label capacity increases from 48 to 96, and assemblers use the sentinel when binding and patching branches.
Device-size check and capacity backlog
test/unit/core/moonlive_device_codegen.inc, docs/work/future/backlog-core.md
The assembler-size test checks estimated device table bytes. The backlog text updates the described capacities and branch-test threshold.

Repository reports and measurements

Layer / File(s) Summary
Code, prose, and repository-health reports
docs/reference/metrics/code.md, docs/reference/metrics/prose.md, docs/reference/metrics/repo-health.*
The reports refresh code and prose findings, repository metrics, build measurements, and macOS performance records.
Scenario measurements and instrumentation note
test/scenarios/core/*, test/scenarios/light/*, src/light/drivers/ParallelLedDriver.h
Recorded desktop macOS scenario samples and measurement dates are updated. The LED driver comment identifies the gather-versus-transpose instrumentation boundary.

Keep the current scene’s duration fixed.

If fader 8 changes seconds during a scene, this comparison uses the new value immediately. Shortening the duration can end the current scene at once; lengthening it extends that scene. Store the duration when the scene starts, and compare elapsed time with that stored value.

Use a wider type for ring scaling.

For a target with bounds such as −10,000,000 to 0, (v - lo) * 255 overflows a 32-bit int. hi - lo can also overflow for wider signed ranges. Both bounds are int32_t in ControlDescriptor. Calculate the differences and product in int64_t before converting the result to uint8_t.

Replace the live network exchange with a deterministic test boundary.

This test uses RTP-MIDI networking through loopback sockets. It also uses 5 ms sleeps and wall-clock polling to establish the connection and wait for MIDI updates. This violates the test/** requirement that tests must not depend on timing or network.

Test message forwarding through an injected or captured transport instead.

A knob driving a control with a range wider than a byte scales its ring without overflow, and the autopilot's comment says what a new scene length does.

Commit: src +2/-2 lines | test +0/-0 lines

**UI**
- MidiService computes a ring's share in 64 bits, since an int target's range can span the whole int.

**Light domain**
- StadBeest autopilot: its comment says a new length moves where the running scene ends; "thruster scenes".

**Docs/CI**
- "thruster scenes" in the StadBeest page; the docgen report one warning lower.

**Reviews**
- 🐇 ringShare could overflow int → 64-bit arithmetic.
- 🐇 "the thrusters scenes" → "thruster scenes", in the page and the script.
- 🐇 Store the scene length at its start so fader 8 only affects later scenes → declined: a long scene would then run its full length after a shorter one is set; the comment now says what the live comparison does.
- 🐇 The shared-desk test uses loopback sockets and sleeps → declined: it follows the file's other RTP-MIDI tests, and a fake transport for all of them is its own change.

Adds microSD read/write as a chip-capability service on boards with flash to spare. The card mounts as a second folder in the existing File Manager tree, with no new HTTP routes and no new client UI: /api/dir and /api/file already dispatch on path, so the card gets upload, download, mkdir and recursive delete for free. A large transfer resumes a bounded chunk at a time across many ticks rather than blocking one, so a multi-minute upload never stalls rendering.

Flash: esp32p4rev1-eth +150640 B (2177776 -> 2328416), esp32s3-zero +13152 B (2219120 -> 2232272).
Account: src +1279/-51 lines | test +596/-1 lines | code findings 1620 -> 1629 (blocking call on the render path +6, complex function +6, large stack frame -3) | duplicated lines 3733 -> 3733 (+0)

Core:
- New SdCardModule (pins, format button, KiB usage gauge) and platform::sdMount/sdUnmount/sdFormat/sdCardUsed/sdCardTotal (uint64_t, so a >4 GB card is read correctly; the shared, size_t, flash-sized Progress gauge is fed KiB instead of being widened for one caller).
- platform::fsXxx (read/write/list/exists/remove/mkdir) each gained a path-prefix check: /sd routes to the card, everything else keeps going to LittleFS/the desktop root. FileManagerModule, HttpServerModule's /api/dir and /api/file, and FilesystemModule::removeTree needed no changes at all to pick the card up.
- New FsReadStream/FsWriteStream (explicit open/step/close) replace the reopen-per-chunk fsReadAt pattern for both flash and SD downloads, fixing a FAT cluster-chain re-traversal cost on every chunk.
- New SdTransfer slot pair + HttpServerModule::driveSdTransfers, called from tick20ms next to drainPreviewSend/drainStateSend: a non-blocking read/writeSome per active slot per tick, bounded to one buffer's worth, with a 10 s stall guard (a liveness check, not a size or time cap on the transfer itself). /sd uploads and downloads hand off into this instead of the flash path's blocking-but-small synchronous handler.
- esp32/platform_esp32_sdmmc.cpp: mount/unmount/format (field-by-field slot config, explicit NO_CD/NO_WP, GPIO validation before any pin-mask shift, the power-switch and LDO-domain sequencing a P4 needs) plus the file ops, written directly against FatFs (f_open/f_read/f_write) rather than through the stdio/VFS layer, to drop stdio's share of the flash cost. A write lands in a .tmp file and is renamed into place only on success (f_rename itself won't replace an existing file, so the old one is unlinked first); every failure path - write error, a stalled peer, a dropped connection - discards the .tmp instead, so a failed upload never leaves a partial file under its real name. Verified by killing a 10 MB upload mid-transfer: the card came back to exactly its prior contents.
- A real bug from live hardware testing: driveSdUpload read into a 4 KB stack-local every tick, which a multi-minute upload stacked deeply enough to panic the board (a crash a browser's fetch() reports as the opaque "NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.", not a clue to the real cause). Fixed by reading into the SdTransfer struct's own scratch buffer instead, the same way driveSdDownload already did it. Verified with a 40 MB upload (10x the file that first crashed it): one continuous 3m50s connection, board uptime and heap unmoved, file landed byte-exact.
- hasSdCard gates on CONFIG_SOC_SDMMC_HOST_SUPPORTED *and* a new project Kconfig bool (MM_SD_CARD, set per-board: esp32p4rev1-eth, esp32s31, esp32s3-n16r8), not on chip capability alone - classic ESP32's SD host only works on fixed pins anyway, and the point is shipping it only where there's flash to spare. Desktop's hasSdCard is unconditionally true, backed by a real <root>/sd subfolder, so its tests exercise the real mount/format/gauge logic.

UI:
- app.js: zero changes for the File Manager tree itself (the unified /api/dir and /api/file routes make the card appear automatically); the format button renders through the existing generic confirm-button machinery.
- A second bug from live use: the drop-upload path still applied FM_UPLOAD_CAP (256 KiB, sized for flash config files) to a /sd drop, where the server has no cap of its own beyond the card's free space - an 8.7 MB upload was rejected client-side before any request was sent. Fixed with fmIsSdPath(destDir), gating both the size check and the "not uploaded" message's wording.
- A progress bar for the upload, requested after the fix: fmDropUpload now goes through uploadWithProgress (the same XMLHttpRequest helper the firmware-flash UI already uses - fetch cannot report upload progress at all), driving a small floating, non-modal panel (one row per file, closes on completion) so a long /sd transfer is visible without blocking the rest of the page the way the firmware-update overlay deliberately does.
- style.css: .fm-upload-panel / .fm-upload-panel-row, bottom-left (the PiP preview pane already claims bottom-right), matching its fixed-position/border/shadow convention.

Scripts/MoonDeck:
- check_devices.py: "SD card" added to SUPPORTED_VOCAB.

Tests:
- unit_SdCardModule.cpp: pins visible/hidden by hasSdCard, mount/remount/release/format/tick1s-gauge round trip against a real backing folder.
- unit_HttpServerModule_sdcard.cpp: traversal rejection, a multi-chunk upload/download round trip, the stall timeout, 507 (card full), 413 (FAT32 ceiling), the root listing advertising "sd", DELETE removeTree on a non-empty SD folder.
- file-manager-sd-upload.test.mjs: fmIsSdPath's gating, a flash-bound file over cap skipped client-side, the same file bound for /sd sent instead, a dropped connection reported plainly rather than as a generic network error, a 507 surfacing the server's own message.

Docs/CI:
- docs/moonmodules/core/system.md: new "SD Card" section (pins, format, gauge, "appears under /sd in the File Manager"). Its card image reference is kept (check_docgen requires the tag even though the asset doesn't exist yet - a disclosed, unresolved gap, not a regression).
- docs/reference/hardware/gpio-usage.md, esp32-p4-eth.md: dropped the "(unimplemented)" / "MoonLight does not mount it" claims the feature now makes false.
- esp32/main/Kconfig.projbuild, three sdkconfig.defaults.*: MM_SD_CARD.
- mooninstaller/deviceModels.json: the Waveshare ESP32-P4-ETH's "SD card" moved planned -> supported, with its SdCardModule pin catalog entry.

Reviews (🐇 ewowi, PR #134):
1. Mount as /sd, delete the parallel API - done. The original commit's sdXxx public functions, /api/sddir + /api/sdfile routes, and the File Manager's separate SD panel are gone; one tree, one toggle.
2. Ship only where there's flash to spare; use FatFs directly, not stdio - done, via the new MM_SD_CARD Kconfig bool and the raw-FatFs rewrite above. The hoped-for flash saving didn't fully materialize (~240 B measured, not the ~15 KB estimated) because platform_esp32_fs.cpp's LittleFS side still links stdio regardless; said here rather than left to look like a wasted rewrite.
3. Large transfers blocking the render thread - done, as a real resumable per-tick transfer (SdTransfer + driveSdTransfers) rather than the smaller interim fallback of a size cap; no SD-specific ceiling beyond the card's own free space, which the 507 check already enforces. feedWatchdog() is gone: nothing blocks long enough to need it.
4. Cards over 4 GB - done, via the uint64_t sdCardUsed/Total above.
5. One open handle per download - done, via FsReadStream/FsWriteStream.
6. Smaller items (GPIO validation, doc fixes, positive doc-comment headings) - done; see platform_esp32_sdmmc.cpp's validOutputPin and its own "Drive 0 is assumed, not queried" / "Built field by field" sections.
7. Desktop test coverage - done: hasSdCard is unconditionally true on desktop, backed by a real subfolder, so unit_SdCardModule.cpp and the HTTP route tests exercise the real logic rather than a no-hardware stub.
8. Start again from current main - done; this branched from main after #135 merged, with the four reusable files (platform_esp32_sdmmc.cpp, SdCardModule.h/.cpp, unit_SdCardModule.cpp) rewritten against it rather than cherry-picked, since 17 of the original 21 files had changed on main since the old branch point.

Checks:
- check_specs: PASS - 136/136 modules
- check_prose: PASS - 1 finding in added lines, a verified Vale tool artifact (isolating one changed table row without its header mis-parses it as a long sentence; a direct Vale run against the real file shows zero findings there)
- build_docs --strict: PASS
- check_docgen: PASS - 0 errors, 4314 warnings (was 4286; the new SD files' own docs, not a regression in a touched existing file)
- test_host --python: PASS - 377 passed
- check_taglines: SKIP - no front-page .md touched
- check_code: FAIL - ratchet rose (blocking call on the render path +6, complex function +6); large stack frame improved (-3). Both remaining deltas are structural, not debt: one more per-tick resumable transfer mirroring drainPreviewSend/drainStateSend's already-accepted shape, and one more periodic gauge read mirroring filesystemUsed's. Already simplified what this change touched (driveSdTransfers split into driveSdUpload/driveSdDownload, handleWriteFile's /sd leg extracted into handleWriteFileSd) before accepting the rest per coding-standards.md's own escape valve: "a function may stay over a limit when splitting it would hide a sequence that belongs together."
- build_desktop: PASS - zero errors/warnings in touched files
- test_desktop: PASS - 2427/2427
- run_scenario: PASS - 30 scenarios, 17 passed / 13 skipped, 0 failed
- check_esp32_built: PASS - fresh after the real rebuild+flash
- build_desktop --no-jit: SKIP - MoonLive not touched
- collect_kpi: PASS - recorded above
- test_host --js: PASS - 243 passed
- check_devices: PASS - 38 devices, 0 issues
- check_firmwares: PASS - 14 variants, 0 issues
- improv_smoke_test: SKIP - provisioning path not touched
- Real hardware (esp32p4rev1-eth, over the network - serial unavailable this session): mount, File Manager discoverability, upload/download round trip, a 40 MB /sd upload completing without a crash, an interrupted upload leaving no partial file. The progress panel's wiring has its own JS tests; its on-screen appearance still wants a look in a real browser.
