The build and HIL mechanics from #595 move to agentrc's shared arduino skill (hathach/agentrc#397), now also used by
Adafruit_SPIFlash. What stays here is this library's profile: boards, classification, CORE_CONSUMED, the CDC/HID/MSC
and host tests, and the roster checks.

Changes:

  • agentrc_pin.py loads the installed agentrc (${AGENTRC_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}) on a dev PC, never fetching it;
    only CI (GITHUB_ACTIONS/CI true) fetches the commit test/hil/agentrc.json pins. pre-commit runs
    agentrc_pin.py test, which does the same.
  • ESP boards set no_serial explicitly in the roster.
  • EXTRA_DEPENDENCIES mirrors CI's ARDUINO_LIBS; builds refuse a missing dependency up front.
  • Records are schema 2 and bind the dependencies, contract files and agentrc closure.
  • The RP2040/RP2350 pull-up detach is the engine's.
  • Farm boards in test/hil/ci.json name their "probe"; the flasher comes from agentrc's board registry, and the roster
    name is the registry name and the board's lock.
  • library.properties changes build as shared code; msc_esp32_file_browser, which no profile board may build, is
    pinned in the contract tests.

Evidence on ci.lan at abd9e53 (agentrc 3924e42, hathach/agentrc#397's merge):

  • The battery (tusb-3924e42-1) passes on raspberry_pi_pico, adafruit_fruit_jam, metro_m4_express,
    raspberry_pi_pico_w (host), espressif_s3_devkitm and espressif_p4_function_ev.
  • raspberry_pi_pico2 fails its host check: the Kingston stick on its port has not enumerated since 2026-11-02, a rig
    fault; its cleanup hold was released.
  • A session (sess-3924e42-1) on raspberry_pi_pico opened, staged, flashed serial_echo, passed cdc_echo and
    closed, restored and released.
  • Contract tests pass against the installed agentrc and, with CI=true, against the fetched pin.
  • Earlier, at 82b0906: a held Adafruit_SPIFlash session on metro_m4_express made this battery report the board
    locked, not run and untouched (tua-lock-6), and the reverse was refused the same way (spif-lock-7).

pre-commit fails in its doxygen step, as on master (#596); this PR does not touch src/.

Walkthrough

Build and HIL scripts now provide library-specific profiles to shared agentrc Arduino engines. The changes add agentrc source selection and identity checks, update HIL roster configuration and session guidance, and revise tests and developer instructions to use the selected agentrc source.

Changes: Arduino Engine Integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Agentrc selection and validation
.claude/skills/hil-contract/scripts/agentrc_pin.py, .claude/test/test_agentrc_pin.py, test/hil/agentrc.json, .pre-commit-config.yaml, CLAUDE.md
The pin helper selects staged, CI-pinned, or installed agentrc sources. It validates engine files and profile compatibility, reports identity and file digests, and adds a test command. The pinned commit changes, and pre-commit runs the helper’s test command against the selected source.
Build engine and library profile
.claude/skills/build/scripts/check_build.py, .claude/skills/build/SKILL.md, .claude/test/test_build.py
The build script supplies library configuration and source classification, then delegates to the agentrc build engine. Documentation describes build records, dependency rules, and selection guidance. Tests use engine APIs for classification, selection, and pin-error handling.
HIL profile, roster, and contract
.claude/skills/hil-contract/scripts/hil_test.py, .claude/skills/hil-contract/SKILL.md, .claude/test/test_hil.py, test/hil/ci.json
The HIL script binds the agentrc engine and provides library-specific checks and callbacks. Roster entries use probe identifiers, and ESP32 entries set no_serial. Documentation and tests cover profile behavior, board rules, host steps, HID, and MSC.
Remote command delegation
.claude/skills/hil-contract/scripts/hil_remote.py, .claude/skills/hil-contract/SKILL.md, .claude/test/test_hil_remote.py
The remote wrapper loads the agentrc remote script and delegates command execution with the HIL profile. Documentation describes session outcomes, and tests cover wrapper behavior and pin errors.

Summary

Moves shared build and hardware-test mechanics into agentrc while keeping this library’s boards, source rules, USB checks, and roster checks here.

  • The build check uses agentrc’s shared Arduino build engine.
  • The HIL battery keeps its board profile and uses agentrc’s shared test engine.
  • Local and CI runs load the agentrc version meant for that environment.

Nitpick Add a staged load() test that runs an engine from ROOT/agentrc.

66-70: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a staged load() test that runs an engine from ROOT/agentrc.

test_a_staged_tree_loads_its_own_copy checks only staged() and root(). No test runs load() to a successful result on a staged tree. A change that made load() read hil_load.py or an engine from the checkout would still pass.

mock.patch.dict(sys.modules) restores sys.modules on exit. It does not remove an entry that already exists on entry. loader() reuses a cached agentrc_hil_load and skips the stub, so the test must remove that entry itself. The removal must run inside the restoring context so the entry is restored on exit.

Test outline
def test_a_staged_tree_loads_an_engine_from_its_own_copy(self):
    with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d, mock.patch.dict(sys.modules), \
            mock.patch.object(agentrc_pin, 'ROOT', Path(d)), \
            mock.patch.object(agentrc_pin, 'checkout', side_effect=AssertionError('a rig has no cache')):
        sys.modules.pop('agentrc_hil_load', None)
        # Write Path(d) / 'agentrc' / 'skills/hil/scripts/hil_load.py'. Its load(name, origin)
        # returns an object whose load_file(rel) returns 'STAGED:' + rel.
        # Write an empty file for every path that closure() requires under Path(d) / 'agentrc'.
        rel = 'skills/arduino/scripts/arduino_build.py'
        self.assertEqual(agentrc_pin.load(rel), 'STAGED:' + rel)

Extend test_a_staged_tree_loads_its_own_copy to verify agentrc_pin.load()
succeeds using an engine and required files under the staged ROOT/agentrc tree,
and returns a result that identifies the staged engine. Within a
mock.patch.dict(sys.modules) restoring context, remove any pre-existing
agentrc_hil_load entry before calling load(); retain the existing ROOT and
checkout patches so the test also verifies the staged path does not use the
checkout.

Comment thread .claude/test/test_hil_remote.py Resolved
A source archive or plain copy has no .git but no agentrc/ either; it was
treated as a staged rig tree, so check_build.py failed with a PinError that
`agentrc_pin.py fetch` could not clear. The staged-load test now checks that
load() reads the staged engine rather than the checkout.

Fixed in 364df56 and folded into one test in 6ead010: test_a_staged_tree_loads_its_own_copy (.claude/test/test_hil_remote.py:68) pops agentrc_hil_load inside mock.patch.dict(sys.modules) (:70, :73), patches checkout to raise, writes a staged hil_load.py stub, and asserts agentrc_pin.load(rel) == 'STAGED:' + rel (:85).

Nitpick Staged-tree test does not load the real engine.

79-84: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Staged-tree test does not load the real engine.

test_a_staged_tree_loads_its_own_copy writes empty engine files and a stub hil_load.py, so it does not execute the real engine code. A staged engine that needs a file outside its FILES declaration would not be caught by this test. The module docstring already states that the stubs cover only the plumbing. Consider a test that copies the declared engine closure from a complete checkout and loads it through agentrc_pin.load.

#602 (review)

Fixed in df6e7e7: test_the_real_engines_load_from_their_staged_closure_alone (.claude/test/test_hil_remote.py:88) copies only the pinned identity()['files'] closure into a staged tree and, in a fresh interpreter with checkout patched to raise, loads each real engine through agentrc_pin.load.

  • It asserts every non-stdlib module loaded comes from the staged agentrc/ (:118-119), so an engine needing a file outside its FILES closure fails the test.

62-63: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Name the pin file in the error that fetch() raises for a padded pin URL.

pin() accepts a URL with leading or trailing whitespace. It returns the value unchanged at line 65. fetch() passes that value to git remote add, which stores it as written. Git can reject the stored value later, and fetch() then raises a PinError that contains only git's message. That message does not name PIN_FILE or show the padded value.

Add the pin file name and the URL to the PinError that fetch() raises when git fails. Keep the returned value unchanged. Trimming the value would change which repository git resolves for a local directory whose name ends in a space, so the returned value should not be trimmed.

#602 (review)

Name the pin file in the error that fetch() raises for a padded pin URL.

The error already shows the padded value. fetch() puts git's message in the PinError (agentrc_pin.py:109), and git quotes the stored value with its padding:

  • fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/hathach/agentrc /'
  • fatal: '/tmp/x ' does not appear to be a git repository
  • fatal: protocol ' https' is not supported

fetch() runs in CI only, and its url comes only from pin() (agentrc_pin.py:94), so the error can only point back to test/hil/agentrc.json.
