What this changes

Wireless fan upkeep now restores the latest RGB frame immediately after sending fan-speed commands. The receiver can briefly fall back to its onboard rainbow effect when PWM traffic interrupts direct RGB playback; recovery now runs in the same upkeep batch, before clock and pairing traffic.

Why

The upstream driver reports the same behavior in issue 83 and restores cached direct colors in PR 149. Hypercolor already maintained PWM and clock traffic but depended on the next render frame to restore RGB.

The cache retains only pixels within the discovered topology, including black frames from pause and stop. A new connection clears it. Both ordinary output and recovery use the same encoder, preserving cluster routing, reversed fan chains, packet pacing, and the existing 30 FPS ceiling. Streaming mode is still armed once per session.

Verification

  • Added or updated tests: all 35 wireless protocol tests pass, including latest-frame recovery, black/empty frames, reversed chains, input normalization, and session reset.
  • Added or updated docs: Spec 80 describes recovery ordering and its hardware verification boundary.
  • just verify passes locally (6,735 tests passed, 27 ignored; allocation contracts included)
  • just deny passes (required for dependency or license changes; not applicable)
  • just ui-test and just ui-build pass (required for UI changes; not applicable)
  • just sdk-lint, just sdk-check, and just sdk-build pass (required for SDK changes; not applicable)
  • just python-verify passes (required for Python changes; not applicable)
  • just compat-check passes (required for vendor database changes; not applicable)
  • just docs-build passes
  • cd docs && zola check passes
  • Packaging scripts were syntax-checked (required for packaging changes; not applicable)
  • just e2e-build passes with the normal Servo stack (not applicable to this protocol-only change)
  • just e2e-build-cpu passes when validating the CPU smoke fallback (not applicable)
  • just e2e passes against the Servo stack (not applicable to this protocol-only change)
  • Ran the candidate in the existing Hypercolor+ hardware session: scene memberships survived the restart, Studio and its layer-stack panel opened without browser errors, and wireless output delivered 27 to 28 FPS with zero transport errors. Physical rainbow-flicker confirmation remains pending.

The workspace type-check and independent code review also passed. The rebase onto the merged Studio changes preserved the complete tested tree.

Notes for reviewers

All PWM commands precede all recovery RGB commands, so no later PWM packet in the batch can interrupt a cluster already restored. Discovery timeout behavior is unchanged. The change addresses wireless fan lighting; LCD image transport is separate.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Wireless RGB lighting now restores the latest frame after PWM upkeep; physical confirmation of rainbow-flicker removal remains pending.
    • Color order and brightness behavior are preserved across keepalive activity, including black and empty frames.
    • New wireless sessions start with a clean lighting state instead of reusing colors from a previous session.
  • Documentation

    • Added documentation describing RGB recovery behavior after PWM updates and its operational sequence.

Fan-speed packets can interrupt direct RGB playback and expose the
receiver's onboard rainbow effect. Re-send the latest frame after the
complete PWM batch, before clock and pairing traffic delay recovery.

Keep a reusable cache limited to the discovered topology, retain black
frames from pause and stop, and clear it on initialization. Share the
normal RGB encoder to preserve cluster routing and packet pacing.

Verify latest-frame recovery, black frames, reversed fan chains, input
normalization, and connection reset without changing output cadence.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The wireless driver caches normalized RGB frames, reuses one RGB transfer path for live frames and upkeep, and restores cached frames after PWM commands. Tests cover ordering, black and empty frames, topology normalization, and session reset. The specification documents the recovery sequence.

Changes

Wireless RGB frame recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Frame cache and shared RGB codec
crates/hypercolor-hal/src/drivers/lianli/wireless/mod.rs
WirelessState stores normalized RGB colors, including black frames. push_rgb_frame now builds shared cluster transfers for live frames and upkeep.
Keepalive RGB restoration
crates/hypercolor-hal/src/drivers/lianli/wireless/mod.rs
Keepalive sends PWM commands, restores the cached RGB frame when available, then continues with clock and pairing work.
Recovery validation and specification
crates/hypercolor-hal/tests/lianli_wireless_tests.rs, docs/specs/80-lian-li-tl-lcd-wireless-driver.md
Tests verify transfer ordering, frame retention, black and empty frames, topology normalization, and session reset. The specification documents the recovery sequence.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 662e0

The driver restores cached RGB after PWM and before pairing traffic, reducing receiver rainbow flicker. Tests do not combine recovery with SaveConfig or bind traffic, leaving a bounded ordering-regression risk suitable for follow-up.

Add a pairing-order recovery test.

assert_upkeep_restores_frame checks recovery before ClockSync, but no test combines a cached frame with pending SaveConfig or bind traffic. Add this case and assert that every SetRgb packet precedes the pairing packets.
