`TargetCapabilities` answers "is this available", and stays a flat matrix of
booleans. The unified server screen needs a shapier answer -- which transports,
which IEC segments, which fields are the user's to set -- so that lives in its
own resolver rather than growing the matrix five booleans that only mean
something together.
The differences it encodes are hardware, not preference. A baremetal target:
* has no %MX segment. Baremetal.ino calls init_mbregs with
MAX_DIGITAL_OUTPUT as the coil count and arduino/openplc.h declares no
bool_memory, so a %MX row would name storage that does not exist.
* listens on 502, hard-coded in three places in modbus_tcp.cpp, so a port
input would be a control that changes nothing.
* has buffer sizes fixed at compile time by the MCU's MAX_* constants, which
also size the IEC pointer arrays -- not a Modbus setting at all.
A board whose VPP carries a Modbus screen resolves to the vendor-screen store
even when its capabilities also report modbusTcpServer. That screen IS where
the board's Modbus state already lives; reading a PLCServer instead would
present every existing project as though it had never been configured.
modbusRtuServer joins the matrix because the screen offers a transport
selector, and "which transports" is exactly what it has to ask the target.
arduino-cli reports both: the firmware has always served both, and the flags
read false until now only because the config sat in a screen the Servers UX
could not see.
BoardInfo gains `io`, the firmware buffer sizes a VPP declares per device. The
editor cannot derive them -- they are chosen per MCU family inside a header the
build never reports back. A partial block resolves to no counts at all rather
than being filled with zeros, which would push every later segment onto the
wrong Modbus offset.

The Modbus server screen now renders from the target's profile instead of assuming Runtime v4. A baremetal board gets a transport selector (RTU, TCP or both), its slave id, a read-only port and a read-only address map; a Runtime v4 target gets what it always had. The two stores stay where they are, behind `useModbusServerConfig`. A PLCServer is a project element; a board's Modbus config is board state in `vendorScreenData`, archived per board. Merging them would have cost a project migration, a rewrite of the defines emitter, a rewrite of 76 debug specs, and would have put a Wi-Fi SSID in a project file that can be opened against a board with no radio. What had to converge was the screen, not the storage. Writes to a vendor screen read-modify-write the section: `setVendorScreenData` replaces it wholesale, and the form layout only persists fields the user touched, so a blind write would drop the baud rate the Serial screen set. Enabling Modbus TCP also enables the Network section. The network is configured on a separate page the user may never open, and a board that compiled MBTCP with the network off came up and never linked. Routing: the Modbus vendor screen is re-homed under Servers, and the "+" card opens it instead of asking for a name and a protocol -- the board has exactly one Modbus server and it already exists. It keeps opening through its vendor-screen tab, so persistence, dirty tracking, save and revert are the paths that already worked; only the renderer changed. ProjectTreeBranch gains `forceExpandable` because the Servers branch counts PLCServers, and a baremetal board has none. Hardware settings are linked, not absorbed. Baud rate, RS-485 pin and Wi-Fi credentials belong to the package that knows the board; duplicating them here would give one value two owners.

The screen split gave the network its own section and its own switch, and nothing read that switch. A project with Modbus TCP enabled and Network disabled compiled MBTCP, called mbconfig_ethernet_iface at boot and never linked -- a healthy board that answers nothing, which on the bench reads as broken hardware. Only an explicit `false` blocks. The form layout persists only the fields the user touched, so a project where someone typed an SSID and never touched the toggle has no `enabled` key at all; refusing to build that would trade one silent failure for another. A pre-split project has no `network` section and keeps building byte-for-byte as it did. RTU is unaffected -- the gate is TCP's alone.

…ompiles
DOPE-370. A P1AM-200 with 256 KB of SRAM served the same 56 coils as an Uno
with 2 KB, because MAX_DIGITAL_OUTPUT was a literal in openplc.h chosen per MCU
family. Every one of those macros is now `#ifndef`-guarded, and openplc.h picks
up a generated io_sizes.h when the project asked for more room.
io_sizes.h has to reach the build through openplc.h rather than defines.h.
openplc.h is included by ~20 HAL translation units that never see defines.h,
and defines.h deliberately carries no include guard so it can only arrive
through exactly one path (modbus_config.h explains why). A separately guarded
file is the only way to reach every consumer without breaking that rule; it is
pulled in behind `__has_include` so its absence is not an error.
The register store was capped at 255 in three separate places, all uint8_t:
init_mbregs's six parameters, MBinfo's six *_size fields, and the byte_addr /
pos indices into the packed bit banks. Asking for 256 coils wrapped to 0 and
every bounds check then rejected every address -- the shape of the P1AM report.
All are uint16_t now, which is also the natural ceiling: a Modbus address is 16
bits, so a count that did not fit could not be reached on the wire.
Two rules keep this safe:
* Growth only. These macros dimension the IEC pointer arrays as well as the
Modbus banks, and mapEmptyBuffers() aliases %MW/%MD/%ML into those banks,
so a segment shrunk below what a compiled program addresses would drop I/O
with no diagnostic. The floor is the board's firmware default.
* Silence by default. When every count equals the board default,
generateIoSizesHeader returns null, no file is written, and the firmware
compiles byte-for-byte as it did.
The ceiling comes from the board's package (`device.ioMax`). A board that
declares none cannot be raised at all, and the screen renders its counts
read-only rather than offering an input that cannot move.

…appear Reported on hardware: the Serial screen offered only a baud rate, no UART picker and no RS485 driver-enable pin, on both a NodeMCU and an ESP32 WROOM. Cause is the unified server screen itself. It renders in place of the whole Modbus vendor screen, so every field left in the `modbus_rtu` section stopped being drawn -- and `serial_port`, the secondary `baud_rate`, `enable_rs485_en_pin` and `rtu_rs485_en_pin` all lived there. The transports and the slave id are the native screen's to own; the wiring is not, and it was swallowed with them. Those four move to the `serial` section, which is where a user goes looking for them anyway: it is the page about the physical line. `modbus_rtu` keeps `enabled` and `rtu_slave_id`, both of which the native screen does render and both of which the device debug specs $ref. The compile step reads the new location first and falls back twice -- to `modbus_rtu.serial_port` / `.baud_rate` for a project saved against the first split, then to `rtu_interface` / `rtu_baud_rate` for the original single screen -- so no project loses its wiring. Also fixed, same report: the "Serial port & RS-485" button opened the Modbus screen, which is the screen it was on. It is gone; the two remaining buttons go somewhere. And navigation now calls setSelectedTab as well as setEditor -- swapping what renders while the tab strip still highlights the tab you left reads as a button that did nothing.

…tor's port Two things, both about the serial port. **Migration.** The RTU wiring moved from `modbus_rtu` to `serial`, and a project saved before that still carries it under the old keys -- where the Serial screen no longer looks but the compiler's fallback still does, so the screen and the firmware disagree with nothing to say so. `migrateModbusSerialFields` folds the four fields forward, handling both older spellings, and drops every stale key so the fallback cannot resurrect one on a later build. It runs when the board list lands, not on project load, because it has to know which installed packages ship a `serial` screen and the project reaches the store first -- the same reason `setAvailableOptions` already owns the deferred work in this slice. A board whose package is still unsplit renders the old screen and is left alone: migrating it would mirror the bug rather than fix it. Idempotent, and returns identity when nothing moved, so an already-migrated project is not touched on every board refresh. **The editor owns the default port.** The always-on debugger, the status and the licensing function codes all answer on the default UART, and it is where the USB cable lands. A second Modbus master cannot share that line, so the RTU slave needs a port of its own. The picker now shows that port greyed out and labelled, rather than omitting it -- a choice that vanishes leaves the user hunting for it. `FieldOption` gains `disabled`, the form layout renders it, and the list comes from a derived `board.modbusSerialPorts` so no package has to restate what the editor already knows from `serialPorts` + `defaultSerial`. It follows that a board whose only UART is that port cannot serve RTU at all while staying reachable from the editor. Those boards -- NodeMCU, Uno, Nano, every single-UART part -- no longer offer the transport, and the screen says why instead of leaving a gap. A board that declares no UART set keeps offering RTU: 13 of them do not, because their variants were never confirmed against hardware, and refusing there would remove a configuration that works today.

The whole configurable-I/O path was dead. `BoardInfoResolver` read `device.io` and `device.ioMax` off the manifest, and the adapter that turns a `BoardBuildInfo` into the pipeline's `BoardHalsBuildEntry` dropped both -- so `boardEntry.io` was always undefined, the pipeline skipped `io_sizes.h` entirely, and a project that had raised its counts compiled at the board defaults. Nothing said so. The compile succeeded, the sketch linked, and the reported RAM figure did not move. It is the same failure the `boardManagerUrl` comment three lines above describes, in the same object literal. Found by compiling for real rather than reading the diff: an ESP32 WROOM at the declared ceiling reported 47,520 bytes of global RAM -- byte for byte what it reported at the defaults. With the forward in place the same project reports 54,768. The 7,248-byte delta is exactly 1,812 new IEC pointers at four bytes each, which is the arithmetic the ceilings were derived from. Two regression tests: one asserting both fields arrive, one asserting they stay absent for a package that declares neither, since absence is the signal the pipeline reads to skip emission.

The note beside the Modbus RTU bring-up said running the debugger on the default serial while the RTU used a different UART "would need a second serial handler -- a documented follow-up". That handler landed in 4b3c138: `handle_serial` polls both ports under MBSERIAL_ON_SECONDARY, each with its own RX assembly buffer, and DEBUG_IFACE.begin() runs ten lines above. Worth correcting now rather than later, because DOPE-442 makes that case the normal one: the editor's connection occupies the default port, so the RTU is expected to take a UART of its own. Verified on an ESP32 WROOM, not by reading: RTU on Serial2 at 19200 with the debugger on Serial at 9600 answers FC 0x47 and 0x46 on slave 7, and the same board is silent when probed at 115200 -- so the rate really is the one the Serial screen set, not the core's boot-log default.

The packages rebuilt for DOPE-442 depend on editor behaviour that does not exist before this branch: `optionsRef` resolving `board.modbusSerialPorts`, a `disabled` select option, the unified Modbus server screen and the vendor-screen migration. Installed against an older editor the optionsRef falls back to the static list, which offers UARTs a board does not have and lets the user hand Modbus RTU the port the editor is talking on -- the exact bug this work removed, reintroduced silently. `minEditorVersion` in those packages is what refuses that install, and it needs a version to point at. Both files move together: APP_VERSION is what the About dialog shows, package.json.version is what electron-builder stamps and what the release tag must match, and shipping one without the other is how 4.2.7 and 4.2.8 went out with About stuck on 4.2.6. Minor rather than patch: the screen split is a breaking change for any package that has not been rebuilt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The pure helper had twelve cases; none of them exercised the part that can actually go wrong in the product, which is WHERE the migration runs. The project reaches the store before the board list resolves, so a migration hung off project load would see no Serial screen anywhere and skip every board, permanently. Two cases through setAvailableOptions: a board whose package ships a Serial screen gets its wiring folded forward and its stale keys dropped, and a board whose package has not been split is left exactly as it was. Negative control: neutralising the call in the slice fails the first and leaves the other 133 green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
CLAUDE.md claimed 100% functions/lines/statements on four directories. jest.config.json enforces 75-98 depending on the directory, and gates branch coverage nowhere. A contributor reading the old text would either believe a new file must reach 100% or, worse, trust that the suite guarantees it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
APP_VERSION and the root package.json read 4.3.0 while release/app/package.json sat at 4.2.2 and both lockfiles trailed further behind. electron-builder reads release/app/package.json — directories.app points there — so a local package build stamped the wrong version on the binary. Set with `npm version 4.3.0 --no-git-tag-version --allow-same-version` at the root and in release/app, which updates each lockfile too. Version fields only; no dependency added, removed or upgraded.

…ation Brings the located-arrays work, the licensing and retain changes and the debug-transport rework onto the branch. Conflicts were in the files both sides touched: the target-capabilities resolver and its presets, the device slice, the native-screen enforcement hook, the compile pipeline and the firmware bundle step, plus the version fields and the explorer tree.

A baremetal target had no server element. Its Modbus lived in the modbus_rtu and modbus_tcp sections of the board's VPP screen, which the package ships whether or not anyone wanted a server -- so every such board appeared to serve Modbus, and nothing could be named, created or deleted. Protocol configuration belongs to the editor, so ModbusSlaveConfig now carries what a serial server needs: the transports it answers on, the slave id, and the RTU wiring, mirroring the fields the master already had. Transports is a set rather than the single value the master carries, because RTU and TCP together are one server listening on two wires, not two servers. A project saved by an older editor is promoted on open, at the first point where both the project's servers and the screen state are readable. The migration copies rather than moves: the sections stay until the compile pipeline reads the server instead, because stripping them now would produce a project that opens fine and compiles to a firmware with no Modbus at all. The Runtime v4 plugin's conf/modbus_slave.json is a contract with software already in the field, so the new fields must not reach it. The generator builds an explicit shape rather than spreading the config, and a test pins that. DOPE-442 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Modbus server profile carried a `store` discriminant so the screen could read a baremetal board from its vendor screen and a Runtime v4 target from the project. There is one store now, so the discriminant went: what the profile answers is which fields a target lets the user set, which is a different question and the only one left. The editor's own UART is offered as an RTU interface on every board. The firmware serves the debugger and the register table on it together, so using it is a legitimate choice -- which of the two the user talks to at a given moment is theirs to arrange, and refusing it was the editor deciding for them. The refusal and the explanation it printed are both gone. That makes two fields the user must not touch there. The slave id and the baud rate of the default port are what the editor dials to reach the board, so they are shown read-only carrying the board's own value; changing them would leave the board unreachable with nothing to say so. The transports become a choice between the sets the board offers rather than two independent switches. Two switches can both end up off, which would be deleting the server from inside its own editor -- deleting is the explorer's Delete, and the tree now lists an ordinary project element rather than a re-homed vendor screen. Raising the buffer counts is no longer offered: the same MAX_* dimension the IEC pointer arrays and mapEmptyBuffers() aliases the memory segments into the Modbus banks, so it is an I/O-image change rather than a Modbus setting. The screen shows the sizes and the map they produce. DOPE-615 owns raising them. DOPE-442 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ackage The defines emitter read what was served out of the board's VPP screen, which is where a baremetal board's Modbus used to live. It reads the project's server now. The screens keep what they own -- the UART's speed, the RS-485 pin, the network -- so the two halves of the block come from the two sides of the boundary rather than both from the package. The editor's own link is pulled out of that. DEBUG_BAUD and DEBUG_SLAVE come from the serial screen, never from a server. Welding the debugger's slave id to the server's made every change to that field an access event, and would have left a project with no server unable to debug at all now that a server is something the user creates rather than something every board has. When the RTU shares the default UART the two are one listener with one id, so the editor's wins for both -- otherwise the board would answer the bus on one id and the editor on another, with only one of them able to be right. A firmware build serves exactly one slave: modbus.slaveid is a single global and init_mbregs is called once. A build with more than one enabled server is refused, naming them, because "only one is allowed" leaves the user to guess which to turn off. Creating several stays allowed -- a project moves between targets, and a server a Runtime v4 build serves happily should not have to be deleted to build for a microcontroller. The TCP listen port travels with the server as MBTCP_PORT. The legacy reading arm for the RTU wiring is gone, since a migration moves those fields; the legacy network fields stay readable, because nothing migrates those and dropping them would lose a pre-split project's Wi-Fi credentials on upgrade.

The single-serial path assembled straight into mb_frame, which is only safe while nothing else writes it between scan cycles. TCP does: mbtask() runs handle_tcp() first, so an incoming request overwrote a partial serial frame while mb_rx_len still described it. The framing logic then resynced a byte at a time and the in-flight transaction was lost -- intermittent, and worst under exactly the concurrent TCP load a working installation produces. That path gets a buffer of its own wherever TCP is in the build, which is what the dual-serial path has had all along. The condition is MBTCP rather than MBSERIAL && MBTCP because the always-on debugger assembles through the same path and was losing frames the same way in a TCP-only Modbus build. Measured on an ATmega328P: 128 bytes, 186 to 314 of 2048. It is compiled only where TCP is present, so a board without a network keeps its footprint. The TCP listen port stops being hard-coded in three places and honours MBTCP_PORT, falling back to the IANA default so a firmware built by a toolchain that does not emit it listens where it always did.

The profile resolver decided a board was baremetal when its package shipped a Modbus screen. That worked while the screen held the board's Modbus configuration, and stops working the moment it does not: a package with nothing left to put there ships no such screen, and every arduino board would have resolved as a Runtime v4 target -- offering a configurable port and user-sized buffers that the firmware does not have. The compiler is the fact underneath, and it does not move. A package that still ships a Modbus screen is accepted too, so one published before the split keeps working.

The packages published for this work declare a 4.4.0 editor floor, so an editor still calling itself 4.3.0 refuses them. APP_VERSION is what the About dialog shows and package.json is what a local build stamps; release/app is what electron-builder reads. All three say the same thing.

…not delete Three things the screen got wrong when it met real use. The transport was a row of buttons. It is a dropdown: three options in a fixed order on every target, with the ones a board cannot serve rendered disabled rather than dropped. A control that changes shape between targets cannot be compared across them. Turning Modbus off meant deleting the server from the project tree, which threw away the slave id, the port and the buffer sizes with it. There is a master switch now. Off keeps every setting and serves nothing, which is what someone commissioning a panel wants far more often than starting over. Everything else that used to disappear now arrives disabled with the reason: the serial port and slave id on a target with no RTU, the network interface and port where the firmware fixes them, and the Hardware Settings card, which used to vanish entirely on Runtime v4 and took the screen's shape with it. The buffer panel shows every segment, including the ones a target has no storage for -- sized zero, read-only, saying so. Hiding %MX on baremetal left no way to tell "this board has no %MX" from "the editor forgot about %MX", and it was the last thing making two targets' screens differ in shape.

A board serves one Modbus transport at a time. Offering both invited a configuration that the firmware's design never assumed and that nobody asked for, so the dropdown no longer lists it. It is not removed outright. A project can already be in that state -- a pre-4.4.0 board with both screen toggles on migrates that way -- and a dropdown that answered "Modbus TCP" for a server actually serving both would be lying about the configuration it is there to show. So the entry appears when it is the current state, disabled, with a hint saying to pick one and that nothing else is lost by doing so.

…glyph Every row on the server screen printed its explanation beside the control. A settings screen that explains itself in full sentences on every line stops being a settings screen: the controls no longer line up and the eye has no column to run down. The help moves behind the same info glyph the VPP screens already use, and that glyph moves into the tooltip atom so there is one of it. The native screens and the package-declared ones should be indistinguishable to use, and two copies of the same control is how that stops being true. DOPE-442 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Behind a hover glyph the text is read on purpose rather than skimmed past, and a sentence that earns its place there is one the reader can take in without stopping. Every hint on the screen is now that length. The slave id no longer warns about leaving the board unreachable. The next round gives the debugger a dedicated id that the server always answers alongside whatever is configured here, so the hazard the sentence described stops existing -- and the read-only rule on the editor's own port becomes a workaround with a known end date rather than a property of the design. DOPE-442 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Serving both is offered again. The constraint that motivated hiding it was the firmware's, and it is gone: the single-serial path has its own RX assembly buffer now, so a TCP request no longer overwrites a serial frame held across scan cycles, and the two transports coexist on a board that has both. With the option back, nothing special is owed to a project already serving both: it is a supported configuration rather than a state to be migrated out of, so the dropdown carries no legacy entry and the hint no longer asks the user to pick one.

DOPE-619 `handle_serial_port` accepted a frame only when its first byte matched one compiled-in slave id. On the default UART that single id served both the editor's link and the user's Modbus server, so the two could not have different addresses and the editor's won — which is why the slave id is read-only on that port. It now takes a second id. A frame matching the server's is processed as before; one matching only the editor's must carry an editor function code and is otherwise dropped in silence, because the channel is private and an exception would tell whoever is scanning the bus that the address is live. Pass the two equal, as every port the editor does not sit on does, and nothing changes. The function-code test is its own predicate rather than `mb_pdu_skips_crc()`, which answers a different question and excludes 0x4B: reusing it would have left run/stop unreachable on the editor's id. `exceptionResponse` wrote the server's id over the received one. Invisible while the two were the same value; with two ids it answers as the wrong slave, and over TCP it overwrote the MBAP unit id the client sent.
DOPE-619 The editor's slave id was a package field, `screens.serial.slave_id`, and on the default UART it overrode whatever the Modbus server was set to — one listener, one address. That is what made the field read-only there. The firmware answers both ids on that UART now, routed by function code, so: - `DEBUG_SLAVE` is the constant 1. It cannot be configured because there is nothing left for a configuration to decide: whatever value it held would have to match a firmware the user cannot see, and a mismatch reads as a healthy board answering nothing. - `MBSERIAL_SLAVE` is the server's id on every port, including the default one. - the field on the Modbus server screen is editable on every port. Setting it to 1 is not a collision: the standard codes and the private ones do not overlap. A board flashed before this answers only the id its project recorded, and it fails as silence, which reads as a dead board rather than a stale address. So Connect tries 1 and then that id, as one speculative candidate at the declared baud rate. Pairing it with the swept rates instead would cost five more port opens, and an open resets an AVR or ESP8266 — restarting the user's program to chase two stale values at once. The legacy id is read from the project's own leftover screen state rather than declared in the manifest: the packages' ref check rejects a `$ref` pointing at a screen they no longer ship, and the Modbus screen is exactly such a screen.
DOPE-442 Which UART Modbus RTU answers on was already the server's choice, but that UART's speed stayed in the package's serial screen. One line, two owners, split across a project setting and a board setting — and a board switch had no way to say which won. The server carries it now, on any UART that is not the default one. The default one keeps the package's value and the field is shown disabled with the reason: it is the editor's own line, one UART has one speed, and unlike the slave id no amount of firmware routing makes two possible. The resolution moves to `middleware/shared/utils/modbus-server-profile/baud.ts` so the screen and the emitter call the SAME function. A hook may not import from `backend/shared`, so leaving it there meant two copies of one fallback chain — and a screen quietly disagreeing with the firmware is the failure this area keeps producing. `serial.modbus_baud_rate` survives as the fallback rather than as a field, so a project that already carries a server with no speed of its own keeps building what it built yesterday.
…lt one's DOPE-442 The compile-pipeline section listed the UART's speed as wholly the package's. Half of it is the server's now, and the split has a reason worth stating: the default UART carries the editor's own link, and one UART has one speed.
DOPE-442 The way out to the board's serial and network pages sat in a card of its own, two panels below the fields it explained. Someone looking at a baud rate they cannot edit had to read the tooltip, scroll past Buffer Mapping, and find a card whose title named none of it. The panel now carries three groups - the server, the serial line, the network - and each hardware group holds its link in its header, where a section action belongs. The card is gone; its two buttons are those links and its sentence is the reason each one carries when disabled. Grouping pays for itself twice. The flat list never said which rows were RTU and which were TCP, and that started mattering the day a server could serve both at once. The groups are named for the wire rather than the protocol, deliberately: their rows enable on what the board HAS, not on what the user selected, so "Modbus RTU" would promise a coupling the screen does not implement. On the default UART the baud rate stops being a dead dropdown and becomes the route to the page that sets it, showing the value and who owns it. Only where such a page exists - otherwise there is nowhere to go and it stays a plain disabled field.
…ttings DOPE-442 Three ways a package installed before 4.4.0 goes wrong under an editor that has already upgraded. The version floor only guards the other direction, and the package catalogue that would offer an update does not exist yet, so the editor has to tolerate the old package rather than expect it to be replaced. **Connect skipped the id every firmware it builds answers on.** The fallback compared the declared slave id against the project's legacy one and offered the legacy id only when they differed. On a pre-4.4.0 package both come from the same screen key, so they never differ and the editor dialled the old id alone — while a board reflashed since answers only 1. It now plans both extra ids: the editor's constant and the project's recorded one, deduplicated, at the declared baud rate. A board on the declared id still pays nothing. **A missing board page had one explanation for two situations.** "The host operating system owns this target's ports" is true of Runtime v4 and false of an ESP32 whose package predates the split. The pre-4.4.0 package still ships the Modbus screen it used to own, which is what tells the two apart. **The Modbus vendor screen was filtered out of the tree.** It was filtered because it used to be re-homed under Servers, and that re-homing is gone. On a current package there is nothing to filter. On an older one it hid the only view of state that still reaches the firmware: with no server in the project, the defines emitter falls back to those very sections.
DOPE-442 Listing that screen in the tree again was half a fix. Opening it still routed to the native server editor, which reads its server name from a `plc-server` tab and gets none from a vendor-screen one — so it fell through to "The selected target does not serve Modbus. Pick a board that does, or install the vendor package", both halves of which are false in front of a board that does and a package that is. The interception was the other side of the filter: while the leaf was hidden, the only way in was a re-home, and the branch was all but dead. The leaf is back, so the screen renders declaratively like every other one the package ships. On a package built for 4.4.0 nothing changes: there is no Modbus screen to route.

In `@CLAUDE.md`:
- Around line 277-279: Update the coverage guidance in the surrounding
documentation to describe the directory-level Jest coverage floors enforced by
CI, removing any wording that implies each new file must independently achieve
100% coverage.
In `@src/backend/editor/compiler/compiler-module.ts`:
- Around line 3090-3095: Update the boardIoSizes guard in the compiler flow to
enable it only when boardEntry.io declares all seven required IoSizes counts;
otherwise leave it unset. Preserve the existing handling for
simulator/openplc-compiler runtimes and complete io definitions, and avoid
casting a partial manifest object to the full IoSizes shape.
In `@src/backend/shared/compile/steps/modbus-defines.ts`:
- Around line 142-148: Update selectModbusServer to retain matching Modbus TCP
servers even when modbusSlaveConfig.enabled is false, while preserving the
protocol and transport requirements. Ensure the disabled server is returned
instead of an empty result so pipeline.ts passes it through and
generateModbusDefines applies its existing enabled === false guard.
In `@src/backend/shared/types/PLC/open-plc.ts`:
- Line 346: Update the baudRate field in the PLC schema to validate only
positive integers before resolveServerBaud and firmware generation consume it,
while retaining its optional behavior.
In
`@src/frontend/components/_features/`[workspace]/editor/device/configuration/vendor-screen/layouts/form-layout.tsx:
- Line 4: Update module-slots-layout.tsx to import and use the shared
FieldHelpIcon while retaining TooltipProvider. Remove its local FieldHelpIcon
definition and any now-unused tooltip imports, preserving the existing help-icon
behavior and preventing it from collapsing in narrow rows.
In

- Around line 51-52: Move the aria-label prop from the label element to the
checkbox input in the Toggle component, preserving the existing label
association and checked/onChange behavior so the control has an accessible name.
In `@src/frontend/store/slices/shared/slice.ts`:
- Around line 1479-1481: Update the migration flow around migratedModbusServer
and createServer so registering the migrated server also marks the workspace
unsaved before the file registry is finalized, ensuring it is persisted and
closeFile prompts for saving.
In `@src/frontend/utils/vpp/migrate-vendor-modbus-to-server.ts`:
- Around line 104-105: Update planVendorModbusMigration to fall back to the
active board’s legacy modbus_rtu port and baud-rate values when
serial.modbus_port or serial.modbus_baud_rate is unavailable, preserving the
existing serial values when present. Ensure the resulting server migration
includes both serialPort and baudRate before migrateModbusSerialFields runs.
In `@src/middleware/shared/utils/modbus-server-profile/baud.ts`:
- Line 43: Update resolveDefaultPortBaud to validate each persisted baud value
as a positive integer before returning it; reject invalid values such as "fast"
and fall back to DEFAULT_SERIAL_BAUD when no valid value is available.
- Line 43: Format the return expression in the baud-rate helper by wrapping the
nullish-coalescing chain according to the repository’s Prettier configuration
and 120-character width, without changing its evaluation order or fallback

…e its sizes DOPE-442 Found in the field on a real upgrade: the editor moves to 4.4.0, the package stays on the version production serves, and the Modbus server screen shows no counts and no address map at all - on a board that plainly has both. The `io` block those counts come from is new in 4.4.0. A package published before it declares nothing, and the screen answered that by withholding the map and telling the user to update the package. But a board whose package says nothing is not a board of unknown size. It is a board compiling with the `#ifndef` fallbacks in `openplc.h`, which has exactly two branches - and every one of the 76 devices in the catalogue declares an `io` block matching one of them exactly. The packages are transcribing the firmware, not adding to it, so the map is derivable and it is the map the board serves. Which branch applies is chosen by a macro the compiler defines and the editor never sees, so the four devices that land in the small-AVR one - Uno, Nano, Leonardo, Micro, the ones with no %MW, %MD or %ML at all - are named by device id. That list is not a guess: it is the four whose declared sizes match that branch, and it is consulted only for a package too old to declare them, which comes from the same catalogue. Two things the fallback deliberately does not do. It states no ceiling, because `ioMax` raises a floor the package declared and a limit nobody stated is not a limit. And it does not pass itself off as declared: the screen says the sizes are the family's defaults and that updating the package reads the board's own.
DOPE-442 The CI format check runs `prettier --check` over all of `src/`, and it is a separate gate from lint — `eslint --fix` does not apply it. Four files went out unformatted: the two utils added for the Modbus server profile, and the two components edited around them. Whitespace only; no behaviour and no semantics change.
DOPE-442. The migration that promotes a baremetal board's Modbus screen to a
PLCServer read the UART and its speed from `serial.modbus_port` and
`serial.modbus_baud_rate` only. Neither key exists yet at the moment it runs.
Two migrations touch those values and they run in the wrong order for each
other. `planVendorModbusMigration` runs on project load; the one that folds
`rtu_interface` / `rtu_baud_rate` forward into `serial` runs later, when the
board list resolves, because it has to know which installed packages ship a
`serial` screen. On a board whose package was never split it is skipped
entirely and the keys stay under their original names for good.
So the migrated server came out with no serialPort and no baudRate on exactly
the projects the migration exists for, and the board then answered at the
package default instead of the port and speed the user had configured. The
plan now reads all three spellings in the same precedence the fold uses, and
an empty value falls through instead of winning.
Alongside it, six things a review of the same area turned up:
* the buffer-mapping toggle carried `aria-label` on the `<label>` wrapping a
`sr-only` checkbox, which names nothing -- the control had no accessible
name at all;
* a server's `baudRate` was `z.number()` while every field around it is
range-checked, so a fraction or a negative reached firmware generation;
* `resolveDefaultPortBaud` used `??`, which returns a persisted empty string;
this is the number the editor dials to reach the debugger, so a bad one
locks the board out silently;
* `BoardInfo` could not name `ioMax`, though the resolver and the hardware
module both forward it and the Modbus profile reads it to derive the
ceilings -- it was crossing the contract on structural typing alone;
* a manifest declaring only part of an `io` block was cast to a complete one,
and clamping against an undefined default yields NaN, which compares
unequal to everything and emits an override nobody asked for;
* CLAUDE.md described the coverage gates as directory floors and then, nine
lines later, demanded 100% per file.

…42-modbus-server-unification
…ion creates DOPE-442. Two ways a project's Modbus ended up disagreeing with the firmware. `selectModbusServer` reported nothing for a server whose `enabled` was false, and `generateModbusDefines` reads an absent server as "this project predates the server element" and falls back to the board's screen sections. Those sections still carry `modbus_rtu.enabled: true`, and on a board whose package was never split nothing ever clears them, so switching the server off compiled RTU anyway. Existing and serving are now separate questions: a server that exists and serves nothing comes back with an empty transport list, which the emitter already handled and documented but could never receive. Only a server on the new model can do this -- a pre-4.4.0 `modbus-tcp` server carries no `transports` at all and must keep falling through to the sections, or a project that has always compiled from them goes silent. The server the migration promotes was created after the file registry is built from the loaded project data, and it is not in that data. It therefore had no registry entry at all: invisible to dirty tracking, to the close-project check and to the single-file save. The project looked clean, closed without a prompt, and nothing was written -- so the migration ran again on every open while the board kept compiling from sections the editor no longer shows. It is now registered unsaved, and the workspace says so. Verified by neutralising each fix in turn: the disabled-server assertions fail without the selector change, and the registry assertion fails without the editing-state change.

Review — needs changes before merge
Reviewed across all three PRs (editor #1094, web #743, packages #48) as one demand. The ownership boundary is the right call and the documentation behind it is unusually good: the change record in §19 carries every deviation with its reasoning, and the NFR03 correction is recorded with the measurement attached rather than quietly dropped. The two-namespace reasoning in the profile resolver, the MB_EDITOR_SLAVE routing and the per-port RX buffer are all sound work.
What follows is what I could not sign off. Everything below I read on 582bd5b and confirmed in the code; where a claim comes from a deleted test or a measurement I say so.
Blocking
1. MBSERIAL_TXPIN is dropped for every pre-4.4.0 RS-485 project.
The emitter now reads only state.serial?.enable_rs485_en_pin / state.serial?.rs485_en_pin (modbus-defines.ts:326-330); the legacy read of rtu.enable_rs485_en_pin / rtu.rtu_rs485_en_pin was deleted, and the type moved those keys from the modbus_rtu section to serial. The module comment justifies that with "migrate-modbus-serial-fields moves them into serial" — but the value the emitter sees does not come from the store. compiler-module.ts:3064-3073 re-reads devices/configuration.json from disk and builds vppModbusState from it, while migrateModbusSerialFields writes only into the store (device/slice.ts:151-161). So:
- before the first save after opening a pre-4.4.0 project, the disk still holds
modbus_rtu.rtu_rs485_en_pinand the emitter sees nothing; - permanently for a board whose installed VPP has no
serialscreen, because the migration is gated on that (migrate-modbus-serial-fields.ts:21-28); - always in a CLI process (see 2).
planVendorModbusMigration rescues serialPort and baudRate from the legacy keys, but ModbusServerCompileConfig has no RS-485 field, so the driver-enable pin has no second route. Result: #define MBSERIAL_TXPIN is absent where development emits it, the transceiver's DE pin is never driven, and the board receives but never answers on the bus. Silent — no warning on any path.
2. The pre-split default-UART baud is lost, and then misapplied. Two mechanisms, same symptom, worth fixing together.
Lost: MOVES in migrate-modbus-serial-fields.ts:41 maps { to: 'modbus_baud_rate', from: ['baud_rate', 'rtu_baud_rate'] } and deletes both old keys (:75). But resolveDefaultPortBaud reads the default port's speed from serial.baud_rate → modbus_rtu.baud_rate → modbus_rtu.rtu_baud_rate (baud.ts:46-48) — the two keys the migration just removed — and never reads serial.modbus_baud_rate. A pre-split project whose RTU ran on the default UART at 19200 (the common case: pre-split, debugger and RTU shared one port) loses it the moment the board list resolves. serial.baud_rate was never written, because the form persists only touched fields. Both DEBUG_BAUD and MBSERIAL_BAUD become 115200 and an already-flashed board is unreachable until reflash, with the screen showing 115200 too.
Misapplied: the removed resolveDebugBaud had an explicit third arm — if the RTU is on a UART other than the default, its baud belongs to that other port and the debug port falls back to 115200. resolveDefaultPortBaud(state) takes no interface argument and cannot make that distinction, so it walks the modbus_rtu arms unconditionally. The deleted test says it plainly: "ignores the RTU baud when the RTU is on a SECOND port", asserting DEFAULT_DEBUG_BAUD. That test is gone and baud.test.ts now asserts the opposite ({ modbus_rtu: { baud_rate: '19200' } } → '19200'). So a project with RTU on Serial1 at 9600 now brings the default/USB port up at 9600.
Suggested fix: pass the resolved RTU interface and defaultSerial into resolveDefaultPortBaud and restore the guard; and make the migration land the legacy baud in serial.baud_rate when the RTU was on the default port, in serial.modbus_baud_rate only when it was not. The existing migration tests only cover the secondary-port case ('Serial1').
3. A freshly created Modbus server compiles to no Modbus at all.
initializeServerProtocolConfig (project/slice.ts:131-135) seeds { enabled: false, networkInterface: '0.0.0.0', port: 502 } with no transports. selectModbusServer only considers entries where Array.isArray(entry.modbusSlaveConfig.transports) (modbus-defines.ts:158-160), so the new server is invisible to the build, the emitter falls back to the legacy screen sections, and a 4.4.0 package ships none — generateModbusDefines returns ''. Firmware with Modbus entirely off.
Meanwhile the screen reads config?.transports ?? ['tcp'] (use-modbus-server-config.ts:133) and prints "Serving Modbus TCP". The user is told the opposite of what is built, and re-picking "Modbus TCP" in the dropdown does not repair it because the control is already displaying that value — only picking RTU, or RTU+TCP, ever persists a transports array.
Seeding transports: ['tcp'] in initializeServerProtocolConfig closes it.
4. Modbus TCP is offered enabled on every arduino-cli board, including boards that declare no network hardware.
ARDUINO_CLI_CAPABILITIES.modbusTcpServer is now true (target-capabilities/presets.ts:141) and the profile derives its transports from that boolean alone (modbus-server-profile/resolve.ts:236-237). It never reads BoardInfo.networkInterfaces, the declaration this same demand introduces for exactly this purpose. This is the mirror image of the disabled-with-a-reason rule: not a field disabled without explanation, but an enabled one the target cannot honour — selecting it emits MBTCP/MBTCP_ETHERNET into a firmware with no Ethernet stack.
It also contradicts the packages side of the demand, which removes network.json from the 29 devices declaring WiFi: No and Ethernet: No. Gate the tcp transport on (board.networkInterfaces?.length ?? 0) > 0 and offer it disabled with that reason.
Related, same file: the new server form now reaches baremetal (element-card/index.tsx:485) but the protocol list it unlocks is a static const with no capability filter (:54-59), so a user can create an S7comm or OPC-UA server on an Arduino whose ARDUINO_CLI_CAPABILITIES declares opcuaServer: false, s7Server: false.
Should fix
5. The screen and the build still derive "is this the default port?" separately. The hook computes onDefaultPort from config?.serialPort alone (use-modbus-server-config.ts:143-144); the emitter uses server?.serialPort || state.serial?.modbus_port || defaultSerial (modbus-defines.ts:304-305). Sharing resolveServerBaud does not close the gap, because its onDefaultPort argument is derived twice. For a server with no serialPort on a board whose serial screen names Serial1, the screen shows the default UART with a read-only baud while the build emits MBSERIAL_IFACE Serial1, MBSERIAL_ON_SECONDARY and a different MBSERIAL_BAUD. Moving the port resolution next to resolveServerBaud and having both callers use it would make the divergence structurally impossible, which is what the demand asks for.
6. The baremetal TCP port is shown as fixed but is no longer fixed. The profile sets configurablePort: false / fixedPort: 502 and the screen renders Port disabled with "Fixed by the firmware." (resolve.ts:246-250, modbus-server/index.tsx:621-632, hook pins profile.fixedPort at :158). But this PR makes the firmware read MBTCP_PORT and the emitter emit server?.port ?? 502 (modbus-defines.ts:367). A project authored on Runtime v4 with port: 8502 and then switched to baremetal — the demand's own premise that a project moves between targets — shows 502 and flashes a board listening on 8502. Either flip configurablePort for baremetal or clamp the emitter; today the screen's reason is simply not true any more.
7. resolveServerBaud's secondary-UART arm has none of the validation the default-port arm just gained. baud.ts:75 ends return state.serial?.modbus_baud_rate ?? DEFAULT_SERIAL_BAUD, and serverBaud is accepted on Number.isFinite alone (:74), while resolveDefaultPortBaud requires /^[1-9][0-9]*$/. A cleared field persisted as '' emits #define MBSERIAL_BAUD with no value, so Serial1.begin(MBSERIAL_BAUD) fails to compile with no editor-side diagnostic; '0' reaches both screen and firmware as Serial1.begin(0), a dead line the screen confirms as configured. The emitter also passes raw disk state (compiler-module.ts:3069-3073) where the screen narrows through readSerialBaudState — so the two callers share the function but not the narrowing.
8. The migration can mint a server its own schema rejects. asNumber accepts any finite number (migrate-vendor-modbus-to-server.ts:51-56), so rtu_slave_id: 300 or a fractional/negative baud carries across, while ModbusSlaveConfigSchema requires slaveId an int 0-255 and baudRate a positive int (open-plc.ts:341,346). On the next load parse-project-files.ts:620-626 fails safeParse and skips the server with only a warning, so alreadyMigrated is false again: the server the user can see in the tree disappears on every open, the project is dirty every time, and the compile silently falls back to the legacy sections. safeParse-ing the planned server before persisting it would end the loop.
9. Two schema fields are now load-bearing and unbounded. port: z.number() (open-plc.ts:335) — no .int(), no range — reaches #define MBTCP_PORT verbatim, while sibling ports in the same file are z.number().int().min(1).max(65535). And slaveId admits 0, the Modbus broadcast address a server must never answer on, plus the reserved 248-255, where the screen enforces 1-247. Both only bite project files not authored by this screen — which is exactly the population the migration exists for.
10. clampIoSizes can emit a size below the board default. generate-io-sizes.ts:114-115 applies the ceiling after the growth floor, so a manifest whose ioMax[field] is under its io[field] wins: clampIoSizes({digitalInput:100},{digitalInput:56},{digitalInput:20}) yields 20 and emits #define MAX_DIGITAL_INPUT 20. That is precisely the shrink the module header says must be impossible, and the header explains why — these macros dimension the IEC pointer arrays and mapEmptyBuffers() aliases %MW/%MD/%ML into those banks, so shrinking drops I/O with no diagnostic. Math.max(Math.min(ceiling, MAX_IO_SIZE), defaults[field]) fixes it. Separately completeIoSizes checks only Number.isFinite, so a manifest with io.digitalInput: 56.5 emits #define MAX_DIGITAL_INPUT 56.5.
11. Firmware: readCoils still truncates the coil address. modbus_registers.cpp:355 reads get_discrete((uint8_t)startreg, COILS) while this same diff widened coils_size to uint16_t and widened get_discrete to take a uint16_t (with a comment saying the byte address "does not fit in a uint8_t past 2040 bits"). The bound check at :326 admits startreg up to coils_size-1, so above 255 FC 0x01 returns the bits of address mod 256 with a success response. The sibling readInputStatus:407 passes startreg uncast, which is what makes this an oversight rather than a decision.
Latent rather than live today: nothing writes vendorScreenData.io_sizes, so clampIoSizes returns the defaults and MAX_DIGITAL_OUTPUT stays 56. But ioMax.digitalOutput: 512 is already declared on a good number of boards in the packages PR, so this goes live the moment I/O sizing lands. Worth fixing in the same PR that shipped the widening.
12. Firmware: init_mbregs advertises sizes it may not have allocated. It assigns every modbus.*_size first (modbus_registers.cpp:15-20), then mallocs and returns false on the first failure — leaving later banks NULL while the size fields already claim the full counts. Baremetal.ino:257, the only caller, discards the return. Near-unreachable while the sizes were uint8_t; the widening in this diff makes an over-sized project boot with, say, input_regs == NULL and input_regs_size == 4000, and the first FC 0x04 read passes the bound check and dereferences NULL. On failure the sizes should be zeroed so the bounds checks reject everything.
13. Firmware: the function-code routing is one-way. editor_only is true only when buf[0] != slaveid (modbus_serial.cpp:177), so when a frame arrives on the server's public id the FC filter at :190 never runs and 0x41-0x4B are dispatched there too — 0x4B (run/stop) with a valid CRC, and 0x49/0x4A (license read/write) with none, since mb_pdu_skips_crc covers 0x41-0x4A. This is pre-existing in kind and the CRA already accepts the shared-bus consequence as D2, so I am not treating it as a new hole — but the PR and the architecture note both describe the split as routing by function code, and in the direction that carries the dangerous codes there is no routing. Answering MB_EX_ILLEGAL_FUNCTION for an editor FC on the public id would make the description true; silence stays right on the editor's id.
Related, lower confidence: accepting the constant 1 as a second frame head adds a CRC-free resync latch. The framing loop realigns one byte at a time and 0x41-0x4A skip CRC entirely, so on an RS-485 multidrop line with a server id other than 1, a 01 46 byte pair inside another slave's payload can be latched as an editor frame and answered — the board then transmits into that slave's reply window. The underlying weakness predates this change; what is new is a second latch id, and 0x01 is the most common data byte in Modbus traffic. Requiring a genuine inter-frame boundary for the editor-id branch would close it.
Tests and gates
14. The demand's largest new module escapes the coverage gate entirely. jest.config.json lists four positive globs in collectCoverageFrom — src/frontend/store/slices/**, src/frontend/utils/**, src/backend/shared/**, src/middleware/adapters/editor/** — and coverageThreshold has the same four keys with no global. So src/middleware/shared/utils/modbus-server-profile/ (~534 new production lines), target-capabilities/, the new 236-line use-modbus-server-config.ts and the 710-line unified screen are neither measured nor floored. Note the asymmetry: src/middleware/adapters/editor/** is collected, src/middleware/shared/** is not. All four floors also set branches: 0, which is the dimension this change lives in. "Coverage floors held" is true, and vacuous for the code this PR adds.
15. Untested paths that carry acceptance criteria. The unified screen has no component test and no e2e (e2e/ holds only example.spec.ts, which asserts expect(page).toBeDefined()), so the %MX-sized-zero row, the read-only-baud/editable-slave-id pair, the shared-line statement and the next-upload statement are all unprovable. The two-enabled-servers refusal at pipeline.ts:479-485 has no test — only the selector that detects the conflict does. pendingDeletions is never asserted after a server delete, though it is for data types and GVLs. And there is no A/B test emitting one project's defines.h through both the legacy path and the migrated-server path, which is the only thing that would pin NFR03 permanently.
Two weak assertions worth a minute: resolve.test.ts:55 repeats line 54 verbatim, and :153 asserts profile.minCounts equals profile.derivedCounts — two outputs of the function under test, which passes for any implementation that assigns both from one expression, including the wrong set. debug-channel-factory.test.ts:122-160 asserts candidate counts and the speculative flag but never that the extra candidate dials the old id, which is the entire content of that criterion.
Documentation
- "Removal of the emitter's legacy reading arm" is in the PR body and in the demand's scope list, but the arm is still there and deliberately so —
modbus-defines.ts:283, 295, 304, 313, documented at:73-78. What582bd5bclosed is narrower and does hold: a disabled-only server no longer reopens the fallback. Worth restating, since a reader checking the scope list against the code will conclude the opposite. - Criterion AC04 ("when the package declares no sizes the screen says so instead of displaying a map") was inverted on purpose: the map is shown, built from firmware defaults, with an amber caveat (
resolve.ts:217-220,index.tsx:653-658), and the literal "no map" branch at:660-664is unreachable. That is a defensible decision, but §19 records only theNFR03deviation — this one belongs there too, with the reasoning already written atresolve.ts:55-66. CON11is slightly wrong in the other direction: the CLI does runplanVendorModbusMigration, becausehandleOpenProjectResponseis the shared store path, so the promoted server does reach a CLI compile in memory. What never happens is the write to disk — and separately,cli/project/load.ts:71-73callssetAvailableOptionsbeforehandleOpenProjectResponse:82, sovendorScreenDataByBoardis undefined and the board-gated serial-field migration never runs in a CLI process at all. That is the mechanism behind finding 1, and it means the GUI and the CLI can emit differentdefines.hfor the identical on-disk project.- "371 suites" does not reconcile with the branch's own
testMatch, which enumerates 402 test files; the 7,859 test count is plausible. Probably measured before theorigin/developmentmerge at46f2ef9.
Nits
form-layout.tsx:77 and :84 both end in as unknown as Record<string, unknown>, which CLAUDE.md forbids outright ("as const is fine; as unknown as T is forbidden") — and the pre-diff code used a single assertion, so the diff escalates into the banned form; a typed annotation on the spread needs no assertion at all. resolve.ts:158-165 adds seven as number. The reverted greyed-out-UART feature left residue on both sides of the boundary: the option-level disabled in the packages' screen.schema.json and the type plus doc comment in field-options.ts:14-20, with no package using either. The two-enabled-servers refusal also fires for simulator and openplc-compiler targets, which never read the selection. updateVariable-style ordering issue in compiler-module.ts:2721: targetIgnoresServers tests the openplc-compiler string while its own comment names Runtime v3, and says nothing on the simulator, which also ignores servers.
Checks

- CodeRabbit's 9 comments: 8 genuinely resolved, verified in the current code rather than from the marker, and both fix commits shipped regression tests that invert on the pre-fix code. The 9th (
form-layout.tsx:4) is really aboutmodule-slots-layout.tsx:34-56, whose localFieldHelpIconcopy still lacks theshrink-0the extracted atom carries — real, layout-only, and outside this diff.
One item I can close for you: the web assessment's §8 open item T1 — whether compare-surfaces.py covers the bare-metal-runtime surface in PR checks — is yes. The surface is declared at compare-surfaces.py:48-56, iterated at :190-191, and the repo roots are derived at :188-189 as .parent of the --web-root web/src / --editor-root editor/src that ci-sync.yml:74-77 passes, which resolves correctly to resources/sources and src/assets/firmware. Two caveats worth recording next to the tick: the check is one-way (web ⊆ editor) and filters to .cpp/.hpp/.c/.h/.ino, so ARCHITECTURE.md is outside the gate; and the job is skipped entirely when CROSS_REPO_TOKEN is absent.
DOPE-442. `io` / `ioMax` in the VPP manifest and the whole `io_sizes.h` chain
come out. DOPE-615 owns sizing the I/O image from the project, and lists
"reintroducing a per device image size in the VPP manifest" as out of scope --
so shipping both would put two demands on one surface, with this one declaring
per-device numbers that the other is designed to derive.
What goes:
* the manifest's `device.io` (76 devices) and `device.ioMax` (57), their
schema definitions, and every hop that carried them: board-info-resolver,
hardware-module, resolve-board-selection, the pipeline inputs, BoardInfo;
* `generate-io-sizes.ts` and the emission of `src/io_sizes.h`;
* the profile's `derivedCounts` / `minCounts` / `maxCounts` / `countsSource`
on baremetal, and the amber caveat the screen printed when a package
declared no sizes.
What stays, deliberately: the Runtime v4 half of the buffer-mapping block. Its
counts come from the server's own `bufferMapping` and reach the device through
`conf/modbus_slave.json`, so they are neither derived from a manifest nor
anything DOPE-615 touches.
The firmware files go back to `development` untouched. The `#ifndef MAX_*`
guards, the `__has_include("io_sizes.h")` hook and the uint8_t -> uint16_t
widening of the register store all came from one commit that belongs to
DOPE-370, and openplc-editor#1079 is open with the same three files -- keeping a
second copy here would only conflict at merge.
One thing this restores rather than removes: with no sizes to report, the
screen's "This target reports no Modbus buffer sizes, so no address map can be
shown" branch is reachable again. That is what the demand's AC04 specified in
the first place.

DOPE-442. The compiler reads the project from disk; the migration that folds
`rtu_interface` / `rtu_baud_rate` / `rtu_rs485_en_pin` into `serial` runs in the
store. So the emitter meets the pre-split spellings routinely -- before the
first save, always in a CLI process, and permanently on a board whose package
was never split -- and it had stopped reading them.
The RS-485 driver-enable pin was the worst of it: no `MBSERIAL_TXPIN`, the
transceiver never asserts DE, and the board receives every request and answers
none. Silent, with no warning on any path and no second route, since the server
config has no RS-485 field.
The default UART's speed was wrong in both directions. The fold deletes
`baud_rate` / `rtu_baud_rate` and writes `modbus_baud_rate`, which nothing read
back -- a project running at 19200 silently became 115200 and an already-flashed
board went unreachable. And the guard that kept an RTU on a SECOND port from
setting the default port's speed was gone, so a project with RTU on Serial1 at
9600 brought the USB port up at 9600.
One resolver now answers all three questions -- which UART, is it the default
one, what speed -- and the screen and the emitter both call it. Deriving them
separately is how a screen ends up showing a read-only baud for one port while
the build emits `MBSERIAL_ON_SECONDARY` for another.
Alongside, five things that shared the same review pass:
* a newly created Modbus server seeded no `transports`, so the build could not
see it, fell back to screen sections a 4.4.0 package does not ship, and
emitted no Modbus at all -- while the screen, defaulting the same field,
said "Serving Modbus TCP";
* Modbus TCP was offered enabled on every arduino-cli board, including the 29
that declare no network hardware, where it emits a stack the firmware has
none for. It is gated on `networkInterfaces` now, and the new-server form
stops offering S7comm and OPC-UA on a target that declares neither;
* the baremetal TCP port was rendered "Fixed by the firmware", which stopped
being true when the firmware started reading `MBTCP_PORT`. A project carrying
8502 showed 502 and flashed a board listening on 8502;
* the migration could mint a server its own schema rejects, and the parser then
skips it with a warning -- so it reappeared as unmigrated on every open, the
project was dirty every time, and the compile fell back to the sections;
* `port` and `slaveId` were unbounded where every sibling is range-checked;
`slaveId` admitted 0, the broadcast address a server must never answer on.
Firmware: the function-code split routed one way only. On the server's public id
the editor's codes were dispatched like any other, which is the opposite of what
this firmware documents. They are refused there now, and CRC is skipped only on
the editor's own id, so the refusal is never answered to a frame nobody checked.
Not verified on hardware.
Coverage: `src/middleware/shared/**` and `src/frontend/hooks/**` were collected
by nothing and floored by nothing, which is where this demand's largest new
module lives. Both are measured now, the first with a real floor including
branches, the second as a ratchet at what it measures today.

…order DOPE-442. Four criteria were asserted in prose and nowhere in code. `NFR03` -- promoting a project's Modbus to a `PLCServer` does not change the firmware -- is now an A/B: one project's configuration emitted through the legacy screen-section path and through the migrated-server path, compared directly. It is the only form of that assertion which stays true as either path changes. The two-enabled-servers REFUSAL had no test; only the selector that detects the clash did, and the refusal is what the user meets. Both directions are covered: a baremetal build stops and names both servers, and a target that never reads the selection builds anyway. `deleteServer` never asserted `pendingDeletions`, though every sibling does. Without that entry the save leaves the file on disk and the server returns on the next open. And a resolver test asserted the same expression twice. The CLI loaded boards BEFORE the project. One migration hangs off that action and reads project state -- the fold of the pre-split `modbus_rtu` wiring keys into `serial`, gated on the board's package shipping a `serial` screen -- so in a CLI process it ran against an empty store and never again. The GUI sees the project first and the boards after, so it fires once there; the two could therefore emit different `defines.h` for the identical on-disk project. The board list is re-applied after the project lands, which is idempotent by construction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

DOPE-442. Taking the I/O sizing out and resolving the `development` merge left three orphans: `cn` and `useMemo` in the vendor-screen form layout, whose only user was the greyed-out-UART block, `ModbusSegmentCounts` in the profile resolver, and an import order the merge broke in `generate-defines.ts`. Worth recording why only one repo caught it: the editor's tsconfig sets `noUnusedLocals: false` and web's does not, so an unused import here is a lint error there AND a type-check failure -- the mirror turned a tolerated warning into a broken build on the other side. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
DOPE-442. `Object.hasOwn` needs `lib` es2022 and the web build's is below it, so `pnpm tsc --build` failed there while `tsc --noEmit` passed here. Same guard, written as `Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call`. The guard is not incidental: `lookupPath` walks a dotted `optionsRef` across an object the package supplies, so without it an `optionsRef` of `board.constructor` would resolve up the prototype chain. Worth recording that the editor's own type check does not run the same command the mirror's CI does -- `--noEmit` here, `--build` there -- which is how this reached CI green on one side and red on the other.

…creen that proves a carrier DOPE-442. Three findings from a review round on the finished branch. The slave id was the last value still resolved twice. The emitter carried a legacy arm, `server?.slaveId ?? rtu.rtu_slave_id ?? 1`, and the screen did not, so a server with no id of its own beside leftover `modbus_rtu.rtu_slave_id` showed 1 while the firmware compiled the legacy id. Two live routes to that state: the migration drops a legacy id outside 1-247 rather than persist one the schema rejects, and a project already carrying a `transports`-shaped server skips migration while its screen state stays put. It joins the port, the baud and the RS-485 pin behind one resolver both sides call. The TCP gate keyed on the wrong signal. It read `networkInterfaces`, treating absent as "offer both" -- and all 29 devices declaring `WiFi: No` and `Ethernet: No` declare no `networkInterfaces` at all, so the gate fired on none of them and `AC08` was unmet on every real board. A split package states its carriers by SHIPPING a Network screen: 47 of the 76 arduino-cli devices do, and the 29 are exactly the ones that do not. An unsplit package ships none either and its silence means nothing, so both stay on offer there; `networkInterfaces: []` is still an explicit refusal and wins over both. And a disabled transport said nothing about why. `FR07` asks for a reason on every field the target cannot configure, and the hint had two branches where the gate above creates a third: a board with a serial path and no network carrier. Also: the profile type's doc block still described a configurability rule that went out with the I/O sizing, and claimed the baremetal TCP port is fixed, which stopped being true when the firmware started reading `MBTCP_PORT`. `workerIdleMemoryLimit` had shipped twice in `jest.config.json`.

…hat is gone DOPE-442. The RTU slave id moved to `resolveServerSlaveId` in `middleware/shared`, which the screen calls too, so `RTU_DEFAULTS` went with it and the block comment above `generateModbusDefines` was left pointing at a name no longer in the file.

DOPE-442. 4.4.0 does not carry a project's Modbus configuration forward. A
project saved before it opens with no Modbus server, compiles no Modbus, and the
user creates the server again on a screen that is now the same on every target.
The migration was the wrong shape and every defect around it followed from that.
It ran in the store while the compiler read the project from disk, so the two
never saw the same state: the RS-485 driver-enable pin was dropped on every
pre-4.4.0 project, the Serial screen showed one baud while the build emitted
another, deleting the migrated server left the board still serving because the
old sections were copied rather than moved, and reopening resurrected it because
"already migrated" was inferred from the servers list instead of recorded. Each
of those had a fix; none of them had a small one, and the mechanism they were
propping up existed only to spare the user one deliberate act.
Out, in full:
* `migrate-vendor-modbus-to-server.ts` and `migrate-modbus-serial-fields.ts`,
and the two load paths that ran them;
* the emitter's legacy reading arm -- `modbus_rtu` and `modbus_tcp` are no
longer read for the transports, the slave id, the UART, its speed, the
RS-485 pin, or any of the TCP network fields;
* the same arms in the shared resolvers, which now read the Serial screen and
the project's server and nothing else;
* the Connect fallback to a slave id a pre-4.4.0 project recorded. Every debug
spec declares the literal 1, so the planner could only ever have returned an
empty list;
* recognising a board as baremetal because its package still ships a Modbus
screen. The compiler decides, and every arduino-cli device declares one.
What this buys, beyond the four defects: one owner for every value. The TCP gate
reads whether the package ships a Network screen, which is how the 29 devices
with no radio and no PHY say so; there is no second spelling of any key, and no
precedence table to keep in step across three files.
`FR04` mandated the migration and `FR20` mandated removing the arm it would make
redundant. Both premises were the same and both were false; the pair is reversed
together, recorded in section 19.
BREAKING CHANGE: a project saved before 4.4.0 compiles without Modbus until its
server is created again.

DOPE-442. The address map read zero on every segment, under a line saying no map could be shown. Both were wrong, and they contradicted each other on screen. The board has the memory. `openplc.h` carries two I/O size tables behind one `#if`, `init_mbregs` allocates the Modbus banks straight from them, and an ESP32 built at this version serves 56 coils, 56 discrete inputs, 32 input registers and 52 holding registers. Reporting `0` said the opposite. What the screen was missing is not a number but a discriminator. The `#if` tests `__AVR_ATmega328P__ || __AVR_ATmega168__ || __AVR_ATmega32U4__ || __AVR_ATmega16U4__`, macros the compiler defines from `build.mcu`; the editor never compiles, so it reads the board's FQBN instead -- the same string arduino-cli takes that value from. `core` cannot do it: an Uno and a Mega are both `arduino:avr`. Five of the catalogue's 76 arduino-cli devices are on that core and only the Mega lands in the large table, so the map is four entries and a default that mirrors the header's own `#else`. `BoardInfo` did not carry the FQBN, though the resolver and the hardware module both had it -- the same drop at the type boundary that hid `ioMax`. Two things this deliberately does not do. It does not offer a floor or a ceiling: nothing in a project can move these, and sizing the image from what the project uses is DOPE-615's. And the panel now carries no explanatory line at all -- the fields are read-only, which says what a sentence about compile-time sizing was trying to. `%MX` reading 0 is the same: on baremetal there is no `bool_memory` bank, and a read-only zero states that better than prose.

…elease A user chasing odd board behaviour has no way to learn that a newer version of that board's package exists. Every build now says so, once, at warning level, naming both versions and where to install from. The network stays off the build's critical path. The catalog is fetched once when the editor starts and held for the session; a build reads that answer and never waits on a request, so an offline machine, a captive portal or a slow proxy compiles exactly as fast as a connected one and simply sees no notice. One fetch covers every board because catalog.json is the whole catalog — switching boards mid-session is a lookup, not another request. The installed version is read per build instead, so an install or update is reflected at once. Only versions this editor could actually load are offered: the same minEditorVersion floor gates the install, so naming a newer one would send the user to a dead end. Boards from hals.json are never asked about, there being nothing to update. The catalog fetch also gains a deadline. It had none, and both its callers suffer for that: the catalog browser spins forever on a hung request, and the startup prime would leave one open for the session.

…42-modbus-server-unification
A new Modbus server was seeded `transports: ['tcp']` whatever the target, and only the SCREEN intersected that against the board's carriers. The emitter took the project's word. So on a board shipping no Network screen -- 29 devices declare no Wi-Fi and no Ethernet -- switching the server on and building emitted `MBTCP` and `MBTCP_ETHERNET` into a firmware with no network stack, and no `MBSERIAL` beside it. The board answered nothing on either transport while the screen read "Not serving yet" and the transport picker displayed a greyed-out "Modbus TCP" it had fallen back to. Three layers, because each fails differently: The build now narrows the project's transports against the board's, using the same `resolveModbusServerProfile` the screen calls. Two derivations of this answer is how the two came to disagree in the first place. A dropped transport is named in the console rather than swallowed -- on a microcontroller there is nowhere else to learn that the firmware built is not the firmware asked for. Gated to targets that build this firmware, like the one-slave refusal beside it: Runtime v4 serves from `conf/modbus_slave.json` and the simulator from a fixed block, so narrowing there would warn about macros neither reads. A new server is seeded by target: RTU on a microcontroller, where nearly every board has a UART and most have no network, TCP on Runtime v4, which serves nothing else. This is what keeps the common case from reaching the narrowing. The transport picker no longer falls back to displaying `tcp` when the stored value does not survive the board's filter. It shows its placeholder, which agrees with the header above it. Doing this required carrying what the board can serve over into the compile side at all. `device.screens`, `serialPorts`, `defaultSerial` and `networkInterfaces` reached the renderer's `BoardInfo` and stopped there; `resolve-board-selection` dropped them on the way to the pipeline. Threading them also fixes `defaultSerial`, which `generateDefinesContent` has declared and never been passed: `DEBUG_IFACE` was always `Serial` and "is the server on the default port" always compared against `Serial`. Harmless only for as long as every package declares `Serial`, which is true today and is not a guarantee. Also drops two fields nothing reads (`serial.modbus_port`, `serial.modbus_baud_rate`) and corrects docblocks still describing the deleted `modbus.json` screen and a `modbus_rtu` fallback removed with the portability code. `npm test` drops to two jest workers. Coverage instrumentation roughly doubles memory per worker, and four of them took the machine down again.

The runtime's Modbus plugin has no switch of its own: it comes up if and only if `conf/modbus_slave.json` is in the bundle, which `composeRuntimeV4Bundle` writes whenever the generator returns a string. That generator took the first server carrying a `modbusSlaveConfig` and never looked at `enabled`, so the screen's master switch did nothing at all on Runtime v4 while working on baremetal -- turning the server off left it serving. Its own docstring already promised the behaviour it did not have. With several servers in a project it was also picking wrong: a disabled one at the head of the list won over an enabled one behind it. Keeping the file out of the bundle is the only way to express "off" to this plugin, so that is what a disabled server now produces. Adding an `enabled` field to the JSON, the way `s7comm.json` carries one, would need the plugin to read it -- it does not. The file describes ONE slave and still does; the first enabled server wins. Serving several at once is a change to the plugin's file format, not to this function, and needs that format stated before anything here emits it. Existing projects whose Modbus server is switched off will stop serving after this. That is the point of the switch.

What this solves
A baremetal board's Modbus and a Runtime v4 target's Modbus were configured in two screens that shared nothing — not the data model, not the renderer, not the compilation output. Baremetal kept its configuration in the board's VPP screens, scoped to the board; Runtime v4 kept it in a
PLCServer, scoped to the project.DOPE-442 settles the boundary underneath that split: the editor owns the protocol, the package owns the physical transport. It has to be settled now because Modbus master and S7comm are coming to baremetal, and without it every new protocol repeats the negotiation.

PLCServernow, like every other target's.ModbusSlaveConfiggrew the serial half; a project saved before 4.4.0 is migrated on load into a server namedmb_baremetal_server, copying the legacy screen state rather than stripping it.One screen for every target. A field the current target cannot configure comes through disabled with the reason, never absent — including
%MXsized zero on baremetal, and a transport the board does not offer. The rows are grouped into the server, the serial line and the network, and each hardware group carries the link to the board's own page in its header; the free-floating Hardware Settings card is gone.Serial0 is selectable as the RTU interface, and the slave id stays the user's there. The firmware answers two ids on that line and routes by function code:
0x41-0x4Bon the editor's constant 1, everything on the server's. A standard function code aimed at the editor's id gets silence, not an exception — a private channel should not confirm itself to a bus scan.exceptionResponsenow answers as the id it was addressed, which was a latent defect invisible while the two values were the same, and which also overwrote the MBAP unit id over TCP.The speed of a UART the server has to itself is the server's. The default UART's stays with the package, because it carries the editor's link and a UART has one speed. The screen and the
defines.hemitter resolve it through the same function, inmiddleware/shared/utils, because deriving it twice is how a screen ends up disagreeing with the firmware.A board flashed before 4.4.0 keeps connecting. Connect tries id 1 and then the id the project recorded, at the declared baud rate only — no extra port open, and nothing at all for a board already on 1.
Also: the single-serial RX path gets its own buffer so a concurrent TCP request cannot clobber a partial RTU frame;
MBTCP_PORTis configurable; and the compiler refuses a build with more than one enabled Modbus server, naming them.How it was verified
Gates.
tscclean ·eslint ./src0 errors ·validate:archclean · jest 400 suites / 8350 tests with the coverage floors held ·compare-surfaces.py0 diffs across 1125 files against openplc-web.The coverage claim used to be vacuous for this demand's own code:

NFR03demanded a byte-identicaldefines.h, andDEBUG_SLAVEis deliberately the constant 1 now. The criterion predated the decision; it is corrected in the document with the measurement attached.Second review round
@Gustavohsdp reviewed all three PRs as one demand and could not sign off. Everything
he raised is addressed here; the four that changed behaviour rather than wording:
MBSERIAL_TXPINwas dropped for every pre-4.4.0 RS-485 project. The emitter readthe driver-enable pin only from
serial, while the migration that moves it there runsin the STORE and the compiler reads the project from DISK. So the pin was lost before
the first save, permanently on a board whose package was never split, and always in a
CLI process — the transceiver never asserts DE and the board receives every request and
answers none, silently. All three spellings are read now, through one resolver the
screen and the emitter share.
The default UART's speed was wrong in both directions. The fold deletes the keys
resolveDefaultPortBaudread and writes one it did not, so a project at 19200 became115200 and an already-flashed board went unreachable; and the guard that kept an RTU on
a second port from setting the default port's speed had been lost with a deleted test.
A freshly created Modbus server compiled to no Modbus at all — it seeded no
transports, so the build could not see it — while the screen said "Serving Modbus TCP".Modbus TCP was offered enabled on every arduino-cli board, including the 29 that
declare no network hardware, where selecting it emits a stack the firmware has none for.
Also: the baremetal TCP port is no longer rendered "Fixed by the firmware", which stopped
being true when the firmware started reading
MBTCP_PORT; the migration can no longermint a server its own schema rejects, which made the server vanish on every open;
portand
slaveIdare bounded like their siblings; and the firmware's function-code split nowroutes both ways, with CRC skipped only on the editor's own id. The firmware change is
not verified on hardware.
Scope change:
device.io/device.ioMaxand the wholeio_sizes.hchain areremoved from this demand. DOPE-615 owns sizing the I/O image from the project and
lists a per-device image size in the VPP manifest as out of scope, so shipping both put
two demands on one surface. The firmware files go back to
developmentuntouched — the#ifndefguards and the register-store widening belong to DOPE-370, and #1079 is openwith the same three files. One consequence is a restoration: with no sizes to report, the
screen's "no address map can be shown" branch is reachable again, which is what
AC04specified in the first place.
Deliberately out of scope
Modbus master and S7comm on baremetal · OPC-UA · EtherCAT · RTU broadcast conformance · the I/O image and its size (DOPE-615) · serial framing beyond the baud rate —
parity,stopBits,dataBitssit in the model read by nothing, which is recorded and tracked as DOPE-621.Before merging
The Requirements Gathering and the three risk assessments are in a partial Pass 2 — the body describes what was built for everything that changed, and section 19 carries the record, but the final sweep is still owed. The three signatures per repository gate the merge and none exist yet.
One finding from the bench is recorded and undecided, and it does not block this PR: the debug session daemon cannot start without a display, which belongs to DOPE-567.
CON11as written was wrong in the other direction and has been corrected. The CLI does run the migration, becausehandleOpenProjectResponseis the shared store path; what never happens is the write to disk. Separately it loaded boards before the project, so the fold of the pre-split wiring keys ran against an empty store and never again — the GUI and the CLI could emit differentdefines.hfor the same on-disk project. That ordering is fixed here.Mirror: openplc-web carries the byte-identical shared surface — see the sibling PR.
