test(mister): add disposable VM integration rig - #1438
Merged
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds a disposable MiSTer QEMU integration rig with verified asset provisioning, guest fixtures, a Main simulator, launch and service scenarios, lifecycle tests, and documentation. It also synchronizes cleanup in a repeat-tap regression test. ChangesMiSTer VM integration rig

- Around line 77-89: Update the FIFO read loop around os.read, resolve, and
publish to maintain a persistent byte buffer, append each read, and
split/process every complete newline-delimited command individually. Preserve
bytes after the final newline for the next read, ignore empty frames, and retain
incomplete trailing commands until more data arrives.
In `@scripts/mister-vm/run.py`:
- Line 83: Update the run startup flow before QEMU is launched to require
ready.json, load its expected base and kernel hashes, and compare both prepared
assets against those recorded values. Remove the assignment that overwrites
state hashes with freshly computed digests, and abort before boot when either
file is missing or mismatched.

The simulator read /dev/MiSTer_cmd with os.read(fd, 1023), stripped one trailing newline and treated the result as a single command. Commands queued while publish() sleeps arrive in one read, so a coalesced pair was rejected by resolve() as a command containing control characters and both launches were dropped. Split each read on newlines and process every frame. A newline-less remainder is still handled immediately, which matters because vmode.go writes fb_cmd0 to the same FIFO without a terminator.
The runner hashed the base image and kernel at run start and compared the end-of-run hashes against those same values, so the check only proved the run itself changed nothing. An image replaced or corrupted between setup and the run satisfied every integrity field and still produced a passing result. Compare both against the hashes setup.py recorded in ready.json before QEMU starts, and require ready.json so an asset directory without a completed setup is rejected up front.
The try block around the pinned download ended in `except BaseException: raise`, which is equivalent to no handler at all. Remove it and keep the comment on the code it describes. A leftover .part file now reports what it is instead of surfacing a bare FileExistsError from the exclusive create.
QEMU allocates virtio-mmio transports in reverse of -device order, so the guest enumerates the fixtures disk as vda and the overlay as vdb. Note it where the root device is chosen. Update the unit test count, describe the new pre-boot asset check in the run.json entry, and list the rig in TESTING.md so it is discoverable next to the other specialized guides.

Summary
Validated with published MiSTer 2.17.2, 16 unit tests, and 7 VM integration tests. Main simulation stays limited to Menu and one-file SNES MGL; FPGA emulation and launch-path ZIP validation are intentionally excluded.
