Read the kit off the card, so a kit no longer means a rebuild - #11
Conversation
Kit named its id, its pads and their sources, and its dice loops with const char*, which can only point at string literals compiled into the image. A kit read off a card has nowhere to keep its words, so it could never be the same type as the one built in — and two types for one idea would mean every reader of a kit choosing between them. They are fixed arrays now, sized by the same limits the share format uses. The generated header needed no change at all: a char array initialises from a string literal exactly as a pointer did. It costs about a kilobyte, most of it the four dice loops at a section code's full length. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A kit only existed as a C++ header, so changing a sound, a chord progression or a tap template meant rebuilding the firmware. §12 rule 6 asks for an open format the community can write kits in. tools/kit_builder.py now writes kits/<id>/kit.txt beside the header, both from the one kit.json, and io::load_kit reads it. One line a field, the five progressions in mode order, the eight pads in the order the share format fixes with each pad's templates under it, and a step spelled the way a share code spells one — engine::read_step is now the only implementation of that table, so the decoder and the kit reader cannot drift. Fractions are whole hundredths, so the device needs no float parser. settings.txt's kit= line says which folder to play. A kit that is not there logs the path and leaves the built-in kit playing, so the device always comes up; the simulator reads its kit off its own card the same way, which is also how app::init came to read everything itself instead of being handed samples by each entry point. An unknown line fails the whole file, unlike an unknown settings row, which is skipped. A setting this firmware ignores costs one row; a kit field it ignored would be an instrument quietly playing something other than what the kit says. The test that the card's kit equals the compiled kit, field for field, is what holds the builder's two outputs together, and CI diffs both. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Reject a kit whose id differs from the selected folder.
boot_settings.kit selects kits/<id>/kit.txt, but a successfully parsed file can retain a different Kit.id. Then D-108 loads samples from kits/<Kit.id>/, while settings and song selection still refer to the configured folder. Compare kit.id with boot_settings.kit after loading. Fall back when they differ. Add a T-101 case for this mismatch.

Five findings, all real, and the security one is the one that mattered.
A kit id and a pad's source were pasted straight into a file path. A card
saying `kit=../../elsewhere`, or a pad naming `../kick.wav`, sent the
firmware looking outside the kit's folder — and CLAUDE.md says never build
a file path from strings. Both are checked against the grammar now: an id
is share-format §2's own `[a-z0-9]{1,12}`, a source is a plain file name,
and neither may begin with a dot.
A kit could also call itself something other than the folder it was found
in. Nothing noticed, but its samples are looked for by its own id, so the
kit would have come from one folder and its sounds from another. Refused.
My own fixture had exactly that shape — `id=lofi` inside `kits/jazz/` — so
the test that was meant to prove a card kit plays was passing for the wrong
reason, which is how the review found it.
A file could also leave out swing, filter, fx or sidechain and still load,
because those have no count to check and the zeroed Kit left a zero behind.
Every field is required now, and a test drops each in turn — including the
one that showed the test's own assumption was wrong, since lofi has three
dice loops and dropping one leaves a kit that is still valid.

Require tap templates for every pad.
The final validation does not check KitPad::template_count. A file with eight pads and no template= lines loads, leaving every pad without its required smart defaults. Reject the kit unless each pad has at least one template.

…hings One of the two taken. A repeated `id`, `swing`, `filter`, `fx` or `sidechain` line overwrote the first quietly, so a file saying two contradictory things loaded as whichever came last. Which one the kit meant is not a question this firmware gets to answer; it refuses the file. Not taken: requiring every pad to have a tap template. engine::next_template returns -1 when a pad has none and engine::tap then appends a plain hit, so a pad without smart defaults is a pad that works — and tools/kit_builder.py allows a kit.json with no templates. Requiring them here would make the reader stricter than the writer, so a valid kit.json could produce a kit.txt this firmware refuses, which is the one thing the round-trip test exists to prevent.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Keep the duplicate field on a separate line.
text + twice assumes that kit.txt ends with \n. If the generated file is EOF-terminated, the duplicate joins the final property. CHECK_FALSE then passes because the line is malformed, not because io::load_kit rejects a duplicate. Insert the separator explicitly so T-101 and D-109 test the intended contract.

The case appended a repeated field to the file's text and trusted the builder to have ended it with a newline. It does — but if it ever stopped, the duplicate would glue itself to the last line and the case would pass because that line was malformed rather than because the field was said twice. The test says what it depends on now, and fails loudly if it stops being true. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Stacked on #10. Retarget to
mainonce that merges — and note that a PR based on a non-mainbranch gets no CodeRabbit review, so this one needs retargeting before it is merged, not after.Why
A kit only existed as a C++ header generated from
kit.json. Changing a sound, a chord progression or a tap template meant rebuilding the firmware, which makes §12 rule 6 — "Open format so the community can make kits after v1" — impossible to honour.The format
tools/kit_builder.pynow writeskits/<id>/kit.txtbeside the header, both from the onekit.json, andio::load_kitreads it. It is meant to be read by a person:engine::read_stepis now the only implementation of that table — the share decoder was carrying its own copy inline, and now calls it — so the two cannot drift.engine::Kitholds its strings in fixed arrays rather than pointers into the firmware image, so a card kit and a compiled kit are one type. That is the first commit here, on its own: the generated header needed no change at all, since a char array initialises from a string literal exactly as a pointer did.Using it
settings.txtgains akit=line naming the folder to play. A kit that is not there logs the path and leaves the built-in kit playing, so the device always comes up.app::initnow reads everything off the card itself — the kit, its samples, the songs, the settings — instead of each entry point handing it a sample bank, which is what finally makeshost/main.cppandfirmware/src/main.cppthe same three lines.One deliberate difference from the settings
An unknown line fails the whole kit file, where an unknown settings row is skipped. A setting this firmware ignores costs one row; a kit field it ignored would be an instrument quietly playing something other than what the kit says. That asymmetry is in D-109 and in T-101.
Verification
./build/tests: 116 cases, 10,342 assertions, green. T-101's first assertion is the one that matters: the kit read off the card is equal, field for field, toengine::kits::kLofi. That is what holds the builder's two outputs together, and it neededoperator==onKit. Then each way a file can be wrong, and a boot withkit=naming a kit on the card — whose swing reaches a fresh loop — and naming one that is not there.spec/kitsas well as the generated headers now, so neither output can drift fromkit.json.pio run -d firmware -e teensy41links. RAM1 free-for-locals is 31 KB, down about 5 KB: theKitgrew by a kilobyte and there is now a mutable copy of it as well as the compiled one.cmake -S host -B build: readskit.txt, loads the samples, auditions two pads, zeroio:lines in the log.Still not done
Choosing a kit from the settings view. The
kitrow in §9.4 still shows the id and cannot be turned, because changing kits at runtime means reloading samples, not just re-reading a file. Editingsettings.txton the card is the way to switch kits today, which is enough for a beta and honest about what works.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
