feat(licensing): carry the VPP licensing flow onto runtime-v4 targets - #1023
Conversation
A paid runtime-v4 VPP compiled, uploaded and ran — forever in demo. The transport already spoke 0x49/0x4A over the debug WebSocket, but the editor had no way to LICENSE such a device: the badge and the buy CTA rendered only on the serial branch, the license handlers required the CONTROL channel (null on a REST-controlled session), and 0x48 was deliberately absent from the WebSocket transport under a comment claiming a v4 identity comes from the REST login. That claim was wrong: the licensing identity must derive from the same hardware anchor the licensed plugin reads, or the license never verifies (DEVICE_MISMATCH -> demo). - websocket-debug-transport.ts (shared): implement getBoardId (0x48). On this medium it is the ANCHOR read, not a readiness probe — the runtime answers at the webserver level with /proc/device-tree/serial-number, normalized exactly as the plugin's C. A runtime predating the license FCs answers an error -> success: false -> the flow reports check-failed instead of inventing an identity (pinned by test). - main.ts: withLicenseChannel picks the channel licensing rides for THIS session — the held control link on baremetal (unchanged), the debug WebSocket on a REST session, acquired per call and released in a finally like every other per-command debug caller. The sequence guard moved inside the channel scope, keeping the "no channel consumes no guard" property. The debug client is narrowed by a type predicate, not wrapped: the flow talks to the same object every other caller holds, so its frame mutex keeps serialising everyone's traffic. - board.tsx (shared): the runtime branch renders the same DeviceLicenseStatus affordance as the serial row (inert unless the VPP is sold licensed), and an effect settles the licence once per session when BOTH the REST login and the main-side session report connected — keying on either alone races openRuntimeSession. A deliberate disconnect clears the licence report, exactly as the serial flow does. Counterpart: openplc-runtime feat/vpp-license-delivery, which answers 0x48/0x49/0x4A at the webserver level ahead of its is_connected gate, so a device can be activated while the PLC is stopped. Against an older runtime every outcome is an honest check-failed. Tests: +3 transport cases (0x48 parse, refusal, not-connected), +5 handler cases (routing + release, incapable channel, unopenable channel, pre-licensing runtime). Simulator suites re-run green — a simulator session holds a control client, so it takes the unchanged baremetal path.

…entity contract Two follow-ups from the E2E review (its batch 3), sized to ride the pending re-approve: - The demo dialog promised the VPP "stops driving outputs a few minutes after each start" while the closed gate enforces LIC_GATE_DEMO_MS = 7200000 ms (product decision 2026-08-18). Say "about two hours" — copy that contradicts what the device does is the kind of drift a customer notices before we do. - The review asked for anchor normalization in the editor (strip trailing NUL/LF/CR/space "like the core"). MEASURED, that would be a regression, so the opposite is pinned instead: bare metal answers 0x48 with the raw ArduinoUniqueID bytes (modbus_debug.cpp) and the closed core reads the SAME bytes raw (license_platform.c, ARDUINO branch) — a MAC genuinely ending in one of those bytes keeps it in its identity, and a trim here would derive a deviceId the device can never reproduce. Only the __linux__ branch strips, and there the runtime already normalizes on the wire before the editor ever sees the anchor. deriveDeviceId now documents the per-target contract and a test pins "raw bytes ARE the identity" so a future well-meaning trim fails loudly. The runtime-v4 defensive re-strip lands where the medium is known — the WebSocket transport (PR #1023) — never here.

… transport The closed core's __linux__ branch strips trailing NUL/LF/CR/space before deciding the device identity, and the runtime strips the same set on the wire — so on a current runtime this is a no-op. It exists for the runtime build that ever answers RAW: without it the editor would derive a deviceId the device never reproduces, and a license bought for it would never verify. The strip lives HERE and only here because this transport is the one place the medium is known: stripping is always identity-correct on runtime-v4 (the verifier strips the same set) and never correct on serial (a baremetal unique-id is raw binary — modbus_debug.cpp answers it raw and license_platform.c's ARDUINO branch reads it raw, so a MAC genuinely ending in one of these bytes keeps it in its identity). The serial clients and deriveDeviceId stay strip-free, pinned by device-identity.test.ts on #1014. An all-padding anchor strips to EMPTY, which the licensing flow refuses ("no unique hardware id") instead of hashing padding into a fleet-wide shared deviceId. Both behaviours pinned by test.

PR Review — openplc-editor #1023
Verdict: Approve with changes — one must-fix before this is usable during a debug session, plus a merge-order gate
The design call at the centre of this PR is right, and it is the one worth defending: the licensing identity must come from the same hardware anchor the licensed plugin reads, not from the REST login. The old comment in websocket-debug-transport.ts asserting the opposite was a correctness bug hiding as documentation, and replacing it with an actual getBoardId (0x48) implementation — plus withLicenseChannel to pick the channel per session — is the minimal shape this feature can take. check-failed is preserved everywhere as distinct from unlicensed, which is the property that keeps this flow from telling a paying customer to pay again.
Two things stand between this and a clean approve:
- Finding 1 (Major). The PR's own comments claim the debug WebSocket's "frame mutex keeps serialising everyone's traffic".
WebSocketDebugTransporthas no mutex and no request/response correlation — I grepped the class and the wholesrc/backendtree. This PR is the first thing that ever sends license FCs over that socket, and the variables poll rides the same socket concurrently. That is a real cross-talk bug, not a theoretical one. - Finding 4 (merge order). Against a runtime that does not answer 0x48/0x49/0x4A, every runtime connect on a licensable board now auto-opens an error dialog. The runtime counterpart is unmerged and 30 commits behind its development, while
openplc-packages#37is about to publish a licensable runtime-v4 test vehicle to staging. Merging in the wrong order makes "Licence Check Failed" the default first experience of that package.
Everything else is small.
What I verified against the code (not just the description)
DeviceModbusTransportreally does satisfyLicenseChannelstructurally —getBoardId/readLicense/writeLicenseare all required on that interface (types.ts:241-247), so the control branch ofwithLicenseChannelneeds no runtime narrowing. The type-level asymmetry withDeviceDebugChannel(all three optional) is whatisLicenseChannelexists for, and it is used correctly.- A REST session really has no control client.
DeviceSessionManager.getClient()returnsthis.client, whichopenRestSessionnever sets (it setsrestControlonly), andisConnected()isclient !== null || restControl !== null. SowithLicenseChannel's ladder (control → "is there a REST address at all?" → debug channel) is correctly ordered and a Runtime v3 target — which does hold a Modbus TCP control client — still takes the unchanged control path. withDebugChannelreleases in afinallyandreleaseDebugChannelreturns early ondebugCandidate === null, so routing licensing through it cannot disconnect a baremetal device out from under run/stop. The "acquired per call, released like every other per-command caller" claim holds.deriveIdentitygenuinely refuses a zero-length anchor (license-flow.ts:207-219) with "this board reports no unique hardware id", so the all-padding-strips-to-EMPTY test is asserting a real fail-closed path and not a hypothetical one.parseGetBoardIdResponsehands backdata.slice(3, 3+idLen)(its own buffer), sostripAnchorTail'ssubarrayview aliases nothing the caller shares. No aliasing bug.- The strip set matches the normative one.
openplc-packages/license-core/test/runtime-v4/anchor-parity.mjsdocuments the C reader's strip list as NUL/\n/\r/space in a loop — identical toANCHOR_TRAILING_STRIPhere — and its header comment says verbatim: "The editor's FC 0x48 path currently relies on the runtime handing it normalized bytes — E2E review 2026-08-18 … these vectors are the contract that work must satisfy." Commite39160dc0is exactly that work. See finding 7 for how to make it hold permanently. - The web mirror is byte-identical. All four shared files hash the same on both branches (not just the diffs — the resulting blobs), and there are no web-only hunks.
Strengths
withLicenseChannelis the right abstraction at the right altitude. One helper answers "which channel carries licensing for THIS session", every unavailable-channel answer ischeck-failed(neverunlicensed), and the two handlers lose their duplicatedrequireControlpreamble. The reason for each branch is stated once and consumed twice.- Narrowing the client instead of wrapping it is the correct instinct even though the mutex claim behind it is wrong (finding 1): a wrapper would have created a second object identity for the same socket and made any future serialisation harder, not easier.
- The 0x48-refusal test is the most valuable test in the PR. "A refusal resolves as failure, never as an identity" is the property that separates "we could not tell" from "you do not own this", and it is now pinned rather than assumed.
- The defensive re-normalization is argued honestly — it is documented as a no-op on a current runtime, existing only for a build that answers raw, with the reason the serial clients must never do the same (a baremetal unique-id is raw binary and a MAC may genuinely end in one of those bytes). That asymmetry is the kind of thing that gets "cleaned up" into a bug later; the comment earns its length.
- Keying the settle effect on BOTH
connectionStatusanddeviceLinkStatusis correct and the race it avoids (openRuntimeSessionis an IPC call the REST login does not await) is real. TheuseRef-not-state choice is also right. explainLicenseOutcomestaying silent onlicensedmeans the new automatic path adds zero dialogs to the happy case.
Findings
1. (Major) WebSocketDebugTransport has no frame mutex and no response correlation — licensing over the debug WS will cross-talk with the variables poll
main.ts states, twice:
The debug client is narrowed by a type predicate, not wrapped: the flow talks to the same object every other caller holds, so its frame mutex keeps serialising everyone's traffic.
and the handler test asserts the same intent ("its frame mutex must keep serialising this traffic with everyone else's"). That mutex does not exist on this transport. ModbusTcpClient / ModbusRtuClient have sendRequestMutex (backend/editor/modbus/modbus-client.ts:72,146-153) — WebSocketDebugTransport has nothing of the kind, and sendCommand is:
this.socket.on('debug_response', responseHandler)
this.socket.emit('debug_command', { command: commandHex })with responseHandler accepting any debug_response and socket.io invoking every registered listener for each event. So with two commands in flight:
- response #1 arrives → both handlers run → both promises resolve from the same payload;
- response #2 arrives → no listeners left → dropped.
Concretely: a debug session on a Runtime v4 polls read variables continuously (main.ts:1873-1876, through the same withDebugChannel and therefore the same debugClientHeld instance). The user clicks "Check again" on the licence badge, or the purchase watch's 20-second tick fires. getBoardId's handler receives the poll's FC-0x41 response → parseGetBoardIdResponse → "Function code mismatch" → check-failed, and the poll's handler may consume the 0x48 reply instead. The licence check fails for a device that is answering perfectly, and the debugger takes a garbage frame.
Before this PR the license FCs existed on this transport but were unreachable (the handlers demanded the CONTROL channel), so this is newly reachable code, not a pre-existing bug.
Fix: give WebSocketDebugTransport the same sendRequestMutex chain the Modbus clients use — it is ~5 lines and serialises at the same granularity every other medium already does. Correlating by echoed function code would be better still (it also fixes a stale response arriving after a timeout resolving the next call), but the mutex alone closes the failure above. Either way, update the two comments in main.ts so they describe what the code actually guarantees. This is a shared-surface file, so the fix lands in openplc-web#681 too.
2. (Medium) The debug-channel holder key is the what string, so two concurrent same-named licensing calls close the channel under each other
requireDebug(what) → acquireDebugChannel(reason) → debugHolders.add(reason), and releaseDebugChannel(reason) → delete(reason) then closes when the set is empty. The holder set is a Set<string> keyed by the reason, so two concurrent callers passing the same what are one reference, not two.
The deviceLicenseSequenceInFlight guard is now checked inside the channel scope, which means the guard-trip path acquires and then releases 'refresh license':
- Purchase-watch tick →
handleDeviceRefreshLicense→ acquires'refresh license', sequence starts. - Second
refresh(the settle effect on a reconnect, or the dialog's retry) → acquires'refresh license'(a no-op on the Set) → guard trips → returnscheck-failed→finallyreleases'refresh license'→ set is empty →this.debugClientHeld.disconnect()while the first sequence is mid-write.
The renderer partly hides this (the badge disables "Check again" while isChecking, and the watch tick skips when phase === 'checking'), but the in-flight guard exists precisely because the code does not assume serialisation, and the settle effect added here does not consult phase. Note the same shape is latent for any two overlapping same-what debug callers — two overlapping read variables ticks included — so it is worth fixing where it lives.
Fix (either): make the holder key unique per call (${what}#${++seq}, keeping what for the trace line); or check deviceLicenseSequenceInFlight before entering withLicenseChannel and accept the small loss of the "no channel consumes no guard" property.
3. (Medium) runtimeLicenseSettledRef never resets on a board change, so switching to a paid board over a live runtime session leaves it unchecked and silent
The effect's reset only happens in the not-connected branch:
if (!isOpenPLCRuntimeTarget(currentBoardInfo) || !licensing.isLicensable) return // <- before the reset
if (connectionStatus !== 'connected' || deviceLinkStatus !== 'connected') { ref.current = false; return }A board switch while connected is allowed — handleBoardChange opens confirm-device-switch and then calls setDeviceBoard without dropping the session. And setDeviceBoard routes through resetDeviceLicense (store/slices/device/slice.ts:35-51), which clears report to null. So after switching from one licensable runtime board to another: report cleared, DeviceLicenseStatus renders nothing (it returns null while report === null), and the ref is still true — nothing ever settles the new board. The user sees a paid board with no licence affordance at all until they manually disconnect and reconnect.
The effect already depends on currentBoardInfo; store the settled board in the ref instead of a boolean (settledForRef.current = boardKey) and compare, which fixes the reset ordering as a side effect.
4. (Medium — merge order, cross-repo) An older runtime now auto-opens an error dialog on every connect
explainLicenseOutcome maps check-failed to type: 'error', title "Licence Check Failed", opened unprompted by the new settle effect. Against a runtime that predates the license FCs, 0x48 is refused → check-failed → that dialog, on every connect to a licensable runtime board. The PR frames the older-runtime behaviour as "nothing bricks, nothing lies", which is true of the state but understates the UX: it is an error modal on a device that is working fine, in a flow the user did not initiate.
This matters because of ordering. openplc-packages#37 publishes com.openplc.raspberry-pi-licensed (runtime-v4, isLicensable: true) to staging on merge, while the runtime side is still an unrebased branch with no PR. If packages#37 and this PR land before the runtime does, the dialog is the first thing anyone testing that package sees.
Recommend: (a) state the required merge order explicitly in the description — runtime first, then this, then packages#37 (or packages#37 with inDevelopment: true until the runtime ships); and (b) consider suppressing the dialog for the specific "this target does not implement the licence FCs" shape, letting the badge carry it instead. minRuntimeVersion is already declared as 4.1.0 on that package — if the FC-answering runtime is a later version, raising that floor is the cleanest gate available.
5. (Minor) The guard-trip path opens and closes a WebSocket for nothing
Because the in-flight guard moved inside the channel scope, a refresh that will immediately answer "A license check is already running on this device." first performs a full acquireDebugChannel — which on a REST session means a TLS Socket.IO handshake and auth against the runtime — and then releases it (see also finding 2). Cheap, but it is a real connection to a real PLC in exchange for a string that needed no device at all.
6. (Minor) The settle effect has no cleanup, so its dialog can open after the user leaves the device screen
void licensing.refresh().then(report => explainLicenseOutcome(...)) has no unmount guard. refresh can take seconds (device read + backend round trip, 30 s HTTP timeout). If the user navigates away from the board screen meanwhile, the modal opens over whatever they navigated to. The serial path is user-initiated inside connect(), so it does not have this shape; this one fires on its own. A cancelled flag in the effect's cleanup is enough.
7. (Minor) The anchor strip list now lives in three places and only two of them are pinned together
license_platform.c (normative), anchor-parity.mjs (the cross-repo vector guard), and now ANCHOR_TRAILING_STRIP here. The new tests pin the editor's set against itself, so a change on the C side would not fail anything in this repo. anchor-parity.mjs's RAW_VECTORS are literally designed for this — "8625807b0a83ae7d\0", "…\n", "…\r\n", "… \0" all → 7146518f9842adacfadc731ee7f546e5. Feeding those exact raw strings through getBoardId + deriveDeviceId in the transport test would turn the comment "the exact set license_platform.c strips" into something a test can actually break on.
8. (Nit) noteTraffic() on a REST session credits control-link liveness for debug-channel traffic
readLicenseAnchor and the refresh path call this.deviceSession.noteTraffic(), which the liveness poll reads to skip its own round trip. On a baremetal target that is exactly right (same link). On a REST session the frame went over the debug WebSocket while control is REST, so a successful licence read can suppress one liveness check of a link it says nothing about. Harmless at one poll interval, but worth a word in the comment or a noteTraffic only on the control branch.
9. (Nit) as unknown as T in sendCommand (CodeRabbit's point)
Pre-existing, and { success: false, error } genuinely is a valid DebugBoardIdResult, so nothing is unsound. But the repo guideline forbids the double assertion and this PR widens the union it applies to, so it is a reasonable moment to introduce a small failureResult<T>() factory or a shared failure-envelope type. Not blocking.
Test assessment
The +8 cases are well chosen and each pins a distinct claim rather than restating the implementation: 0x48 parse, refusal-is-never-an-identity, the raw-tail strip, all-padding→EMPTY, not-connected for all three FCs, and on the handler side v4 routing + release, an incapable channel refused before anything is asked of it (and still released), an unopenable channel, and a pre-licensing runtime. holdRestSession is a good seam — it fakes exactly what openRestSession + acquireDebugChannel set up, so the tests exercise the real ladder in withLicenseChannel.
Gaps, in the order I would close them:
- Concurrency. Nothing covers two licensing calls at once, and nothing covers a licensing call while
read variablesis in flight on the same WS — findings 1 and 2 both live in that hole. A test with two overlappingsendCommands asserting each gets its own FC's response would have caught finding 1. - The settle effect is untested. No test covers "fires once per session", "does not fire on either signal alone", or the board-change case in finding 3. This is renderer logic with a
useRefguard and two status inputs — exactly the kind that drifts. - Cross-repo anchor vectors — finding 7.
Merge checklist
- Finding 1 — add a send mutex (or FC correlation) to
WebSocketDebugTransport, mirrored in openplc-web#681, and correct the twomain.tscomments. - Finding 2 — unique holder keys, or move the in-flight guard outside the channel scope.
- Finding 3 — key the settle ref on the board.
- Finding 4 — publish the intended merge order (runtime → editor+web → packages#37) in the description.
- Open the
openplc-runtimefeat/vpp-license-deliveryPR (rebased) so reviewers can see the other half of the 0x48/0x49/0x4A contract this PR now depends on. - Optional but cheap: run
ci-unit-testsviaworkflow_dispatchon this branch so the +8 tests have a CI record.
… auto-flow Review 2026-08-20 (findings 1,2,3,6,7,8,9 + web#681 finding 1): - websocket-debug-transport (shared): the comments claimed a frame mutex the class never had. It exists now — sendRequestMutex chains every command like the Modbus clients — and data frames are additionally correlated by echoed function code, so a stale reply from a timed-out command cannot resolve the next caller's promise. The error envelope is built by a per-caller onFailure callback, which also removes the 'as unknown as T' double assertion (CodeRabbit). Pinned by three new tests: concurrent commands each get THEIR function code's response, a stale alien frame is skipped, and the four anchor-parity RAW vectors all strip to one identity pre-image (the hash half is pinned in device-identity.test.ts against the cross-repo golden 7146518f9842adac…). - main.ts: per-command debug holders get a uniqueness suffix (what#seq) — the holder set is keyed by string, so two concurrent same-named callers were ONE reference and the second's release closed the WebSocket under the first, mid-sequence. The trace keeps deduping on the human prefix. The two mutex comments now describe what the code guarantees, and noteTraffic's REST-session behaviour is documented (no-op: a REST session runs no liveness poll). - board.tsx (shared): the settle ref now stores WHICH board settled — a board switch over a live session cleared the report but left a boolean ref set, leaving the new paid board unchecked and badge-less. The effect gains a cleanup flag (no dialog after leaving the screen), a structural platform gate (no device.refreshLicense -> nothing to settle — what keeps openplc-web silent the day something publishes a device link there), and the AUTO flow passes quietCheckFailed: the badge carries check-failed instead of an unprompted error modal — the loudest case being a runtime that predates the licence FCs, where every connect used to open "Licence Check Failed" on a working device. User-initiated paths keep the dialog. - license-outcome-dialog (shared): the quietCheckFailed handler flag, with the when-and-why documented. Editor suites 48/48, web mirror 26/26 under Vitest, tsc clean on both. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015uUH3ZL5ehreMUf2dtanWD

321-341: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy liftA stale error envelope can still be consumed by the next command.
The data-frame filter compares
bytes[0]withpdu[0], so a late success frame is skipped. Error envelopes take the opposite path: they are accepted unconditionally. The comment justifies this with the mutex, but the mutex only prevents two commands from being in flight at once. It does not prevent a frame from a command that already timed out from arriving later. That is the exact scenario the data-frame filter defends against.Effect: command A times out at 5 s and releases the mutex. The runtime answers A with an error envelope a moment later. Command B is now listening, consumes A's error, and reports a failure the device never sent for B. For licensing this surfaces as a spurious
check-failed.A per-command generation counter makes the error path as safe as the data path.

Correctness review of the runtime-v4 licensing branch, read together with openplc-web#681 and openplc-runtime#169. Three findings below. Two further issues already have open bot comments and are still live in 5ac0fcf — the empty-anchor acceptance in readLicenseAnchor and the settle effect cancelling its own in-flight refresh via the unstable licensing dependency — so I have not duplicated them here.
…able deps, anchor-less targets, live tokens Review 2026-08-20 (Thiago, read across #1023/#681/#169) — findings E1-E5 plus the editor half of the token pair (R1/E2): - E1: sendCommandNow re-checks this.socket AFTER the mutex wait — disconnect mid-queue answers the failure envelope again instead of throwing through IPC. - E3: the dialog's retry no longer inherits quietCheckFailed — a retry click is user-initiated, silence would read as success. - E4: the settle effect depends on the STABLE licensing fields, never the object — refresh() flips phase, an object dep re-ran the effect mid-flight and its cleanup cancelled the very refresh it started, so the report never reached the dialog. useDeviceLicense's return is also memoised as hygiene. - E5/R2 pair: LIC_UNSUPPORTED (0x85) on the 0x48 anchor read is now distinguishable end to end (parser -> DebugBoardIdResult.unsupported -> readLicenseAnchor -> outcome 'unsupported'): an anchor-less host (x86 box, container) gets the terminal badge, not an endlessly retryable check-failed. - R1/E2 (token): the WebSocket candidate reads this.tokens.getToken() at create() time instead of closing over the login-time JWT — per-call channels (licensing) always present a fresh token; the held debugger channel receives renewals via the new optional DeviceChannelTransport.reauth(), pushed from onTokenChanged. useRuntimeSession drops its jwtToken dependency: rebuilding the session on refresh closed the debug channel under the debugger, and the manager-read + reauth push make it redundant. Suites 140/140 on the touched areas (incl. two new pins: 0x85 terminal at the transport and at the handler); tsc clean.

Second correctness round addressed in |
…the socket re-check The E1 guard narrows this.socket in the same scope, so the two trailing `!` became @typescript-eslint/no-unnecessary-type-assertion errors — the lint failure on both PRs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015uUH3ZL5ehreMUf2dtanWD
One conflict, in `main.ts`'s `toDebugCandidate`, and it was semantic: this branch extracted the method into `debug-channel-factory` (shared with the CLI) from a copy taken BEFORE #1023, while `development` had meanwhile changed the same lines to read the runtime token at channel-open time. Resolved by keeping the extraction and giving the factory a `getToken` seam, so #1023's behaviour is preserved rather than reverted: the main process passes `this.runtimeApi.tokens.getToken()`, the CLI passes its own client's manager, and `config.connectionParams.jwtToken` stays only as the first-instants fallback. Without that seam a v4 debug channel opened after a transparent re-login would present a stale JWT, and the runtime re-verifies on every command — killing the session and the licensing PDUs that ride the same socket. Verified all five of #1023's pieces survive the extraction: `isLicenseChannel`, the `LicenseChannel` type, `reauth?.(newToken)`, `debugHolderSeq`'s `what#seq` holder suffix, and `withLicenseChannel`.

…erbs Four defects, all found by re-testing on real hardware after the merge. **The CLI could hang forever.** `openplc-cli --help 2>&1 | head -3` never returned. `head` leaves, the pipe closes, the next write raises EPIPE — and the reporter's attempt to report THAT raises EPIPE too, so `main()` rejected, `void main()` swallowed it, and an Electron main process with no window simply idles. In a build pipeline that is not a failed step, it is a job that burns its timeout and reports nothing. Guards now make every path exit: EPIPE on either stream exits Ok (the reader asked for a prefix and got it — `pipefail` must not see a failure), and `unhandledRejection`/`uncaughtException` exit Internal. Reproduced before, 1s after. **The runtime token regressed to the login-time value.** The merge resolution kept the extracted `debug-channel-factory` and added a `getToken` seam to carry #1023's token-manager read — but the factory's websocket branch never consulted it, so the behaviour was reverted while looking preserved. A channel opened after a transparent re-login presented a stale JWT, and the runtime re-verifies on every command, so the session and the licensing PDUs sharing the socket die on the first one. Now read through the seam at open time. The build-time guard widened with it: the manager is the authority, so a config carrying no token is still openable when a session exists, and `create()` throws rather than opening an unauthenticated socket if the token vanishes in between. Tested, because nothing observable broke when this regressed — which is exactly why it did. **"websocket websocket 192.168.2.4".** Both branches of `toDebugCandidate` spelled the transport into `descriptor`, and every display site pairs the two fields itself. Descriptors are the endpoint alone now, matching the link candidates they are built from — where the convention is load-bearing, since one is compared against a raw OS port path. **`read` was an unknown command inside `debug exec`.** The REPL mirrors `strucpp`'s verbs (`vars`/`get`/`set`) while the subcommands are `list-vars`/`read`/`write` — one operation, two vocabularies, and a caller who learned the subcommand got "Unknown command" the first time it typed the same word into `exec`. Both spellings now parse to the same protocol request, held there by a test. Also R17: the 10-element positional compile-args array was re-declared with a different element union at all four hops, which is why passing it along needed `as never`. One labelled tuple, `CompileProgramIpcArgs`, declared once and imported by the flow, the adapter, the renderer bridge and the IPC handler — a reordered slot is now a compile error instead of a corrupt build, and the cast is gone rather than justified. Hardware-validated on an SLM-RP4 (websocket) and a P1AM-100 on /dev/cu.usbmodem11301 (rtu): compile, upload, open, status, list-vars, read, write, force, unforce, watch+poll (9 blink transitions over serial), start, stop, exec, close.

**B2 — `--idle-timeout` could not be set, and a typo was silent.**
`Number(raw) || DEFAULT` sent `0` to the default, because 0 is falsy — so "never
close on idle", which the server supports via `timeout <= 0`, was unreachable —
and turned `--idle-timeout 5min` into a silent 30 minutes. That matters because
a session closing RELEASES ITS FORCES: a soak test asking for no timeout had its
outputs handed back mid-run, on live hardware. Parsed properly now, and a value
that is not a number is a usage error rather than a silent fallback. Writing the
test found one more: `Number('')` is 0, so `--idle-timeout=` would have meant
"never close"; empty is rejected explicitly.
**A1 — `debug close` exited 0 when it could not close.** `runClose` ended in an
unconditional `success`, so a session that would not answer — forces still
pinned on a live PLC, which is the outcome the release-on-close rule exists to
prevent — was reported to the harness as done. The reporter had no way to say
"some of it": `partial()` now emits the same payload a success would, with `ok:
false` and `ExitCode.TargetError`. Measured before (exit 0) and after (exit 7).
**R9 — the same typo answered 3 from `compile` and 70 from `debug open`.**
`TargetUnknown`, `ProjectInvalid` and `ProjectNotFound` had no case and fell
through to 70 — documented as "a bug in the CLI, not in the caller's input".
Both are 3 now, measured.
**E1/E2 — two leftovers this branch created.** `runtime:token-refreshed` fired
twice per refresh (the extraction added a constructor listener while #1023's
registration stayed, on the same manager); the constructor option had no other
caller, so it and its empty options interface are gone. And three constants sat
in `main.ts` with zero references after their call sites moved — one of them the
`8443` this work claimed to have unified. It is now imported from one place
everywhere, including `discover-runtimes` and `compiler-module`, which restated
it a third and fourth time.
**A2 — `debug exec` with no argument waited for a terminal to type into.** It
defaults to stdin, and nothing rejects, so no guard could rescue it. It refuses
an interactive stdin now and prints the two forms that work, mirroring the check
`debug repl` already had for the opposite case.
**A3 — `debug list` kept sessions alive for ever.** Listing dials each session
for its state, which reached the idle timer, so a harness polling `list` in a
loop reset every timeout it was polling. `status` carries `probe` now; the server
arms the timer for everything else. `SessionCore` was already careful that
watching is not activity — being listed is not either.
**N5** — the comment naming `loopReachedEnd` describes `reachedEnd`. Shared
surface, mirrored.
**R5** — the 30-minute idle timeout is documented, with what does and does not
count as idle, plus a table of the 16 flags. All 16 verified to exist.
**The minor set — 7, none of them behavioural today:** `shutdown()` is
idempotent (the close request and the idle timer could both reach it);
`registry.ts` reads `code` without a cast; the daemon's signal handlers are armed
BEFORE the channel opens, so a SIGTERM during a slow open no longer leaves it up
with forces pinned; `idleTimeoutMs` off the config line must be finite and
non-negative (`setTimeout(NaN)` fires immediately); `child.stdin` has an error
listener, so a daemon that dies before reading its config reports the real cause
instead of an uncaught EPIPE; `--json=false` selects human mode (it arrives as
the string `'false'`, so `=== false` never matched); and the Windows build path
is built with `join` rather than a hardcoded `/`.
Verified on an SLM-RP4: open with an explicit idle timeout, `list` reporting PLC
state and forced set, read, force, close releasing what it forced (exit 0), and
SIGTERM on the daemon — which exited, unregistered, and left `main:en_sinal`
unforced on the device, confirming the teardown reordering.
6871 tests pass (the same two pre-existing failures), plus 13 new for the two
policies. Shared surface: 0 diffs over 1052 files.

Why
A paid runtime-v4 VPP compiled, uploaded and ran — forever in demo. The transport already spoke 0x49/0x4A over the debug WebSocket, but the editor had no way to license such a device:
check-failed;getBoardId(0x48) was deliberately absent from the WebSocket transport, under a comment claiming a v4 identity "comes from the REST login". That claim was wrong: the licensing identity must derive from the same hardware anchor the licensed plugin reads, or the license never verifies (DEVICE_MISMATCH → demo).What
websocket-debug-transport.ts(shared): implementsgetBoardId(0x48). On this medium it is the anchor read, not a readiness probe — the runtime answers at the webserver level with/proc/device-tree/serial-number, normalized exactly as the plugin's C. A runtime predating the license FCs answers an error →success: false→ the flow reportscheck-failedinstead of inventing an identity (pinned by test).main.ts:withLicenseChannelpicks the channel licensing rides for THIS session — the held control link on baremetal (unchanged behaviour), the debug WebSocket on a REST session, acquired per call and released in afinallylike every other per-command debug caller. The debug client is narrowed by a type predicate, not wrapped, so the flow talks to the same object every other caller holds (frame mutex preserved).board.tsx(shared): the runtime branch renders the sameDeviceLicenseStatusaffordance as the serial row (inert unless the VPP is sold licensed), and an effect settles the licence once per session when both the REST login and the main-side session report connected — keying on either alone racesopenRuntimeSession. A deliberate disconnect clears the licence report.Cross-repo pairing
