MIDI clock, PO sync and the jam link (PRD §7.6, §11) - #12
Merged
Conversation
The connectivity work needs four choices the PRD did not make, so they go in the log before the commits that depend on them. MIDI notes leave v1 (D-110): the word appeared once in the port table with no channel, note map, note-off rule or settings row behind it, and every guess inside such a map becomes a compatibility promise on the first unit shipped. §7.6 now says the MIDI jack carries clock. MIDI becomes two jacks and a jam link two cables (D-111): one TRS type A cable is a single current loop in one direction, so with one jack the roles would be fixed by which end was plugged in before anyone pressed play, and §11's two gestures could only work one way. The documents already disagreed (§7.6 one port, D-055 "jacks", D-065 four, the BOM three); this settles them at five ports, and D-065 carries the revisit. Two linked devices lock cycles, not only beats (D-112): the follower counts from the leader's Start modulo 96 and its first cycle begins on the leader's, so T-19 stands as written. The wait — up to one cycle — is shown as a count-in on play's backlight, because beat lock has no repair gesture. A port being followed is never driven (D-113): so a follower still clocks everything downstream of it, §11's "always on while playing" stays true, the settings rows keep meaning what they say, and the feedback ring two cables would otherwise form cannot form.

…wer from frames_of_beat was a free function in scheduler.cpp's anonymous namespace with one caller. It becomes app::Clock::beat_frames, and the scheduler is handed a Clock& beside its kit and asks it at every beat boundary instead of computing the length itself. No behaviour changes: the clock answers exactly what the moved line answered. The point is the seam — the length is about to come from a MIDI or sync wire, and the scheduler has no business owning the state that will decide it. The whole existing suite is the characterization test for the move. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The connectivity surface lands in hal.h (D-114): read_clock_in hands over every MIDI clock, Start, Continue and Stop byte and every sync edge stamped with the microsecond the platform saw it, each port its own ring; send_clock_out is given a deadline, not a byte, so a pulse is armed a lookahead early rather than emitted when a 2 ms timer notices it; midi_read and midi_send are the rest of the wire, midi_send one byte at a time so a clock byte never queues behind a pattern; midi_port_open says whether this build has a port at all. Both platforms answer honestly for now — no port, nothing read, nothing sent — so neither build pretends to hardware that has not run. The device's Serial1 and the simulator's UDP link arrive with the commits that put a scope on them. The audio side publishes an AudioAnchor — the block's first frame beside the microsecond it was rendered — once a block, which is how app/ will convert a beat's frame into a wire deadline and an arriving pulse's stamp into a frame; AudioPath::reset drains it so a test's first anchor is its own. hal_fake gains scripted clock and MIDI queues and the two recorders, reserved up front so nothing grows inside the timer callback. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
app::Clock grows the out direction (D-115). It arms every pulse of the beat the scheduler just began — 24 to the beat on the MIDI port, 2 on the sync jack — before the same horizon the hits go out on, each with the microsecond its frame reaches the output. The deadline is when the frame is heard, one platform output buffer after the block that rendered it, so a pulse coincides with our own sound and not with the render: without that the host's 10.7 ms of SDL buffering would spend T-19's whole 3 ms budget. Every frame-to-microsecond conversion subtracts as int64, because a pulse is almost always behind the newest anchor and an unsigned subtraction would wrap. A refused pulse is offered again on the next tick and abandoned only at the beat boundary, never dropped: the ports carry a tempo and no downbeat, so a lost pulse is a phase error nothing afterwards can correct, and 24 arriving together would jump a listener's sequencer forward. The §9.4 rows gate the arming and never the counting, so a row switched on mid-play lands in phase. Start goes one byte early, since two bytes cannot leave a 31250 baud wire at once and it is the tick that must land on the beat; Continue is never sent, because a Rota stop always rewinds. Both platforms still report no port, so this changes no sound yet; T-102 and T-103 drive it through the fake. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…the wire io::MidiPort formats and parses the jam link's messages (D-116), with no app wiring yet: the envelope F0 7D 'R' 'T' 01 <type> <pad> <RT2 code> F7 around an ordinary share code, so there is no second grammar to keep and no RT3 — the code inside is unchanged and the envelope carries its own version byte. format_loop and format_track differ only in the two header bytes; both send the whole loop with its own id (io::shared_code), and the receiver takes what it asked for. The parser is a byte-at-a-time state machine: F0 starts and re-syncs, F7 ends, a payload byte (all 0x2C-0x7E by §10) is gathered, and any byte with the top bit set that is not F0/F7 is skipped — so a real-time byte the HAL missed, or wire noise, cannot derail a message. It refuses a foreign id, a missing tag, an unknown version, an out-of-range pad (the one field an untrusted wire controls, checked like a card path, D-109), a non-code payload, and a code past D-106's cap, which stays the only cap. spec/jam-link.md is the wire format's normative form with two golden messages; T-111 asserts the empty loop byte-for-byte, T-112 the refusals and re-sync. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…g else app::Clock gains the in direction (D-117..D-122). follow() drains the pulses read_clock_in handed the main loop, measures each port's tempo from time_us deltas alone — a round-to-nearest EMA with a missing-tick detector — and picks a source: MIDI whenever MIDI is alive, sync only when it is quiet. The anchor is latched here (it runs every pass, so a clock arriving at a stopped device is seen) and used only to place phase in frame-space, never the tempo, so the host's bursty audio callback cannot jitter what is followed. begin_beat keeps its length-only signature: while following it returns the measured length pulled toward the leader by at most a beat/128 and clamped to [16000,48000] frames — the clamp is what stops a garbage-fast wire spinning push_window with interrupts off. The one large phase move is acquisition, done once: play while following opens a count-in (Scheduler::waiting_for_clock_) that waits for the leader's cycle downbeat via Clock::cycle_boundary and places the first beat there, so two devices lock cycles and not just beats (D-112); cycle lock is MIDI-only, since sync carries no Start (D-120). If the leader vanishes mid-count-in the loop falls back to free-run. Loss is two separate things (D-119): a stale anchor (the audio path stalled) freezes the beat and says nothing; a quiet wire or a MIDI Stop ends the follow and adopts the last measured tempo into the sections through the tap-tempo path (D-122), so the screen agrees with the sound and nothing is heard at the unplug (T-20). The wire never writes engine::State::bpm, so the share code, the undo stack and the card are untouched by a cable. The speed knob shows `ext` while following and the ring's corner shows the followed tempo; a followed port is never driven, so no feedback ring forms (D-113). Every frame/microsecond conversion subtracts as int64, since a pulse is almost always stamped before the newest anchor. T-104..T-109 drive it all through the fake against a leader the test clocks itself; T-19's two-device figure stays a bench measurement. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Gate MIDI output without suppressing sync output. Clock::emit_until() returns when hal::midi_port_open() is false, so it never arms ClockPort::sync. This violates PRD §7.6 and D-113, which require each configured output to remain independent. Gate only the MIDI arm path and add the closed-MIDI sync-output case to T-102.

Reject out-of-range pads in format_track.
io::format_track casts its unconstrained int pad to uint8_t; -1 becomes 0xFF and 8 remains 0x08. io::MidiPort::feed rejects both because track pads must be 0–7 (PRD §11, D-116, T-112). Add the range guard at this formatter boundary, return 0 for invalid input, and skip transmission when the result is zero. T-111 covers valid serialization.

…inary edit app/jam.cpp is the counterpart to app/card.cpp (D-123). Holding show, with the share view up, and pressing a pad sends that pad's track; dice sends the whole loop. The controller only records the gesture in model.jam_request — under it a pad neither sounds, mutes nor adds a hit and dice neither fills nor clears, and the share view stays up so several parts go in a row — and app::tick carries it out, exactly as a song pick is recorded and the card carries it out. One message goes out at a time (`still sending` otherwise); a build with no port says `no jam link`; what the wire refuses is offered again, so a code arrives once and in order. An arriving message lands as one undoable edit on the section being edited (Section::push_edit): a track copies one pad's steps, alternation and speed, a loop all eight, and a whole loop also takes the sender's id as its lineage so the share view can say what it is based on (D-105). Level, tone, send, chance, mute, bpm, filter, fx, swing and key all stay the receiver's — the jam sends patterns, never knobs (D-035), so no knob moves under the player's hand and the arrival reverses exactly as an undo does. It is heard from the next beat (§6.7). T-113 drives the gestures (send, no port, still-sending) by reading the bytes back off the fake wire; T-114/T-115 push a formatted message on and check the patterns land, the knobs do not, and one undo restores; T-116 the refuse-and- retry path. The two-device latency of T-19 stays a bench measurement. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…scope on them hal/teensy/link_teensy.cpp replaces the no-port stubs: Serial1 at 31250 baud on pins 0/1, the four System Real Time bytes lifted where they arrive and handed to read_clock_in with a timestamp while the rest of the wire stays on midi_read (D-114); a rising-edge interrupt on pin 32 stamps the sync jack in its own interrupt; one pending out pulse per port that poll() emits at its deadline; and a 5 ms active-high pulse on pin 34. midi_send takes one byte and only when the UART has room, so it never spins — a spin with interrupts off is a hang. A byte is stamped when poll() reads it, and bytes buffered between two polls are spread back one byte time each, since MIDI delivers them 320 us apart; a per-byte receive interrupt is the bring-up upgrade if that jitter matters. The follower now guards a zero-or-negative interval so a pair the device stamps alike cannot halve the tempo EMA. pins.h names the sync pins, WIRING.md's rows go from "reserved" to what is driven (two MIDI jacks per D-111, the C-01/C-04 sync front end), and T-118 is the bring-up bench row. NONE of this has run on real silicon: the baud, the pins, the edge polarity, the pulse width and the stamp accuracy are all from datasheets and library docs. The host build and its 133 tests are unchanged, since no host code moved; the firmware links (EXTRAM 1536128). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…erence again hal/sdl/link_sdl.cpp gives the simulator the jam link over a localhost UDP pair (D-124): start each of two ./build/simulator runs with ROTA_LINK=<my port>:<their port>, crossed, and each speaks the MIDI cable — the four System Real Time bytes and our SysEx, both ways, metered on send at 31250 baud so a transfer feels the ~79 ms a share code costs on the wire. With no ROTA_LINK there is no port and the simulator is exactly what it was. §12 rule 5 makes the simulator the reference behaviour, so it has to be able to rehearse a jam before the board exists; this is the least machinery that lets two of them do it. It models the MIDI cable only, not the Pocket Operator's sync jack — there is no PO on a desk — so a sync-out pulse is accepted and dropped and no sync pulse arrives. What loopback UDP cannot rehearse — a framing error, a baud mismatch, cable noise — is what io/'s recovery path handles, and that path is reached through the test fake instead (T-112). The 133 host tests are unchanged: they link the fake, not SDL. The simulator builds and prints whether a link is open and on which ports. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

f.saw_start,f.index, andf.cycle_us. After one beat of new ticks,cycle_boundary()can claim cycle lock from a Start before an unknown number of missing ticks. The follower can then align to the wrong cycle.Clear MIDI cycle-lock state here. Degrade to beat lock until a new MIDI Start arrives. This violates D-112, D-118, and T-19.

filling the TX buffer ahead of scheduled clock bytes. Preserve the existing
zero-return behavior when no byte can be sent, then validate the change against
spec/scenarios.md T-118.

CodeRabbit's round on PR #12, the findings that held up: - app::tick folds the wire (Clock::follow) before the input loop, so a play release and the pulses that establish following in the same pass see this pass's clock, not the last one's — the count-in (D-112) then triggers. - io::MidiPort::feed rejects a control byte in the payload (a NUL would end the decoder's C string and pass a valid prefix through as if the whole frame were good). The header's own version and pad bytes are control values, so the guard is only past the header. T-112 gains the embedded-NUL case. - link_teensy and link_sdl make the out-pulse's `armed` flag std::atomic with release/acquire: send_clock_out publishes from the timer (a 2 ms interrupt on the device, a separate thread on the host) and link_poll consumes on the main loop, so a deadline no longer tears and a pulse is not missed. On the Teensy the shared clock ring's main-loop push is bracketed by noInterrupts(), which the sync interrupt also respects. - link_sdl's ROTA_LINK parse requires exactly two ports in 1..65535 with no trailing text, so an out-of-range value can no longer wrap through htons. - T-114 and T-115 assert the whole contract now: the full pattern copied, the mix (level, tone, send, chance, mute) preserved, no other track touched, and one undo restoring the prior loop. D-123 names the two chance controls apart. Declined, with reasons: gating sync out on a separate flag from midi_port_open (no build has MIDI absent but the sync jack live, and arming the sync recorder in the timer during unrelated playback would risk T-79's zero-allocation guarantee); validating format_track's pad (its caller is the gesture, always 0-7, and the wire boundary is already checked in feed — CLAUDE.md trusts internal callers). One finding was already fixed (the Teensy stubs, in faffea4). 133 tests / 11,349 assertions pass; firmware links; the simulator builds. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Prefix this test case with T-112.
This SUBCASE covers SysEx parser validation for embedded control bytes, but its name starts with prose. Rename it to start with T-112: so the test maps directly to spec/scenarios.md.
As per path instructions, every test case under tests/** must start with its scenario ID.

…stores CodeRabbit noted T-115's post-undo assertion proved only the patterns came back, so a broken undo that scrambled the mix, tempo, key or lineage would have passed. It now compares the full pre-receive state after undo: every track's pattern and mix, the bpm, the key and the lineage. Declined, with a reason posted on the PR: prefixing the new T-112 subcase with its scenario id would break the local convention, since its sibling subcases are prose under the id-named TEST_CASE. The re-raised sync-gating and format_track findings stand on the reasons already given. 133 tests / 11,360 assertions pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

CodeRabbit found that midi_send wrote a payload byte whenever the UART had any room, so the caller's pump filled the tens-of-bytes TX buffer in one pass and a clock pulse armed by send_clock_out would queue milliseconds deep behind it — breaking D-114's promise that a pulse leaves within one byte time. It now holds the wire for a byte time between payload bytes (as link_sdl already meters its UDP stream), so at most one payload byte is in flight and a clock byte waits at most 320 us. availableForWrite still gates it, so the write never blocks.

The last of PRD phase 0: MIDI clock and the Pocket Operator sync jack, both directions, and the jam link — two devices trading patterns over a MIDI cable. Design-first: two Workflow design passes (surface fan-out → synthesis → adversarial timing/rules/completeness critics) settled the shape and the numbers before any code, and every critic blocker is honoured.

time_usdeltas (round-to-nearest EMA + missing-tick detector), so the host's bursty audio callback never jitters what's followed; the anchor only places phase. Following changes the beat's length and phase and never writesengine::State::bpm, so the share code, undo, and card are untouched by a cable. Loss is two separate things — a stale anchor (audio stalled) freezes silently; a quiet wire or a MIDI Stop adopts the last tempo through the existing tap-tempo path. The jam sends patterns, never knobs (D-035 across the cable), so nothing moves under the player's hand and an arrival reverses exactly as an undo does.Verification

The simulator's UDP link lets two sims rehearse the MIDI jam; it can't model a framing error or cable noise — that path is reached through the test fake.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
