DO NOT MERGE ON GREEN CI ALONE. The owner's ruling on #1557 (comment 5469819084) says
the no-on-device waiver does not extend to this storage-recovery work. The merge gate is
adversarial review + green CI plus one on-device acceptance run on the real board, run by
the orchestrator over the DK VCOM injection harness. That run has not happened yet.

Closes #1591. Parent epic #1398. Source policy: #1557 item 3.

What was wrong

A durable RECORDING object that no session could be attached to was one undifferentiated fact
with one unbounded response.

  1. Three different faults looked the same. The board raised State::Faulted when the catalog
    could not be read completely, when the recovered continuation image did not decode, and when the
    bytes were not a ride-v3 sample/footer boundary. All three produced the same value and the same
    card. The first is a fact about the card's index; the other two are a ride's own bytes going bad
    on a healthy card. Two of the three also raised the recording warning and the third did not,
    which nothing intended.
  2. A failed repair retried for ever. The rider's confirmed Discard stayed pending after a
    failure, so Recorder re-offered it on every pass — a full catalog commit and a REC_ERROR
    card each time, until the rider rebooted. There was no way to try again on purpose and no way to
    stop trying.
  3. There was no way out and no way back in. The card's hold returned Home before any answer
    existed, the boot offer was one-shot, Back is inert and the global escape is refused. Only a
    reboot re-opened the decision.
  4. A START against a damaged object opened a phantom session. The app opened a ride, the board
    ignored the open, every append was refused, and the finalize failed. The rider watched a riding
    view that recorded nothing and was told nothing.

What this does

The three-way classification. RideDamage::{Payload, Metadata, Catalog} is set literally at the
three existing refusal sites — no classifier abstraction, because the three sites already are the
classification. One faulted() helper builds the state and prints one line naming the object, the
cause and whether a repair may be offered. The two boot sites no longer set the REC_ERROR warning flag — a cleanup, not a behaviour change: review traced that the warning arm was already unreachable whenever recovery damage was reported. The behavioural guarantees are the RecoveryLatched pass arm and the dropped warning_pending in the board's failed-removal path.

The repair is the exact removal that already ships, and nothing wider. No obc-storage change,
no FORMAT, no ride purge, no new RecorderEffect. The rider's confirmation becomes exactly one
Mutation::Remove of that one entry.

One attempt per rider action — for both subjects of the removal (owner ruling on review finding
M1, recorded on #1591). RideRecoveryState replaces Recorder's recovered_held flag and is the
bound on automatic writes. The removal is one operation with two subjects, so the state carries
what the object was rather than duplicating the phase per subject: Some(damage) is a damaged
recording being repaired, None a whole recovered ride the rider chose to throw away. A confirmed
Discard moves the state to Attempting(d); the answer decides where it lands:

Recorder state Card body Rows Effects it may mint
Resumable Recording restored Continue ride / Discard (held) Discard, one per rider action
Repairable(Payload|Metadata) Recording damaged Discard (held) Discard, one per rider action
Attempting(d) — (in flight, never a mode of its own) none
Latched(Some(d)) Repair failed Retry (held) / Back Discard, one per rider action
Latched(None) Discard failed Retry (held) / Back Discard, one per rider action
Unrepairable Card needs service Back none, ever

A failure latches the terminal state, clears the pending close, and returns a new
RecorderVerdict::RecoveryLatched; the pass re-raises the card in its new mode and raises no
warning beside it — the typed card is the one explanation. A fresh rider confirmation is not
automatic, and it buys exactly one more attempt, with no reboot. Cancelled returns the object to
what it was, so an abandoned discard of a whole ride puts the full Continue/Discard card back and
that ride is still continuable. Unrepairable never mints an effect at all, which is how "never
risk the map" is enforced by the owner rather than by the executor. A store that refuses every
mutation reaches Recorder as the new RecorderError::ReadOnly rather than as one more failed write,
because retrying is the one thing that cannot help there — and it ends the decision for a whole
recovered ride too, losing nothing: a store that will not take the removal will not take a continued
ride's writes either. Unrepairable carries no cause, because nothing reads one.

P4 closed, for every undecided object. advance refuses to open a session while one stands. It keeps the
request — the same rule a refused start already follows — reports a new
RecorderAdvance::RecoveryOwed once per ask on the existing refusal_told latch, and the pass
re-raises the card. A rider who presses START is shown the one thing between them and recording.
That covers a damaged recording and a whole recovered ride whose discard failed alike — both still
own the store's ride state.

One incidental bound, in the same place. A recovered object no longer admits a checkpoint or an
append: those belong to a session. Without it a latched failure would still have minted a cadence
effect every ten seconds against an object nobody had asked anything of.

The card grew modes, not screens. Caps, the escape set, Back's inertness, the render key,
size_of::<Screen>() and the checkpoint/append/close ranks are all unchanged. The two terminal
modes carry a labelled Back row rather than an invisible gesture, because a rider who must keep
using the non-recording half of the device needs a way out they can see.

The ordinary in-ride close is untouched. A live ride's failed Save/Discard still re-offers every
pass — that rider is still riding it.

debug-uart-only commands for the on-device acceptance

Four word-tag commands, the same shape as dfu-install, all #[cfg(feature = "debug-uart")] and
absent from the release image. Documented in firmware/obc-fw-nrf54l/README.md beside dfu-install.

Command What it does
ride-damage payload Opens a RECORDING object through the production seam and journals a 7-byte append: not a whole number of samples and below FOOTER_LEN, so the next mount takes the boundary refusal.
ride-damage metadata The same with a 20-byte zeroed sample and an all-zero resume, so the boundary stays valid and the refusal is the continuation image's.
ride-repair-fail Arms a one-shot: the next exact removal answers as a media failure would, without issuing the commit. The card is never touched.
store-census One line per catalog entry (id, revision, kind, flags, len, crc, name) plus entry count, listing completeness and free extents — the before/after proof that a repair moved exactly one object.

There is deliberately no ride-damage catalog: that cause needs a real catalog read failure, which
cannot be fabricated on a working card without risking it. Its behaviour is that no store operation
ever happens, and that is pinned host-side by
an_unrepairable_recording_is_never_offered_to_the_store.

Tests

Six new in src/recorder.rs, two new in src/screen/ride_recovery.rs, one new in
tests/ride_recovery.rs, one amended.

  • a_failed_repair_costs_one_attempt_and_waits_for_the_rider — one effect, then five passes that
    mint nothing at all, then one more confirmation for exactly one more attempt. The middle
    assertion is the finding: it fails against the old pending-preserving arm.
  • a_failed_discard_of_a_whole_recovered_ride_costs_one_attempt_too — the M1 case: latch, five
    silent passes, a START that opens nothing, one fresh confirmation for one attempt, and a
    Cancelled that puts the full Resumable card back and leaves the ride continuable.
  • a_read_only_store_ends_the_decision_rather_than_offering_a_retry — both subjects.
  • a_repaired_recording_lets_the_next_ride_open_in_the_same_boot
  • an_unrepairable_recording_is_never_offered_to_the_store — twenty passes, no effect.
  • a_start_against_a_damaged_recording_re_raises_the_decision_once_per_ask
  • each_recovery_mode_offers_exactly_its_own_actions — the five row tables and their guards; a tap
    never repairs; the hold posts exactly one Discard; Back leaves and posts nothing; the two
    failed-removal modes share their rows and differ only in the line above them.
  • every_recovery_card_line_fits_in_every_language
  • the_failed_repair_card_retries_without_a_reboot — the whole rider path over real gestures and
    real passes, including that no warning card lands on top of the failed card.
  • damaged_recording_can_only_be_discarded re-expressed against the mode; a_card_the_rider_must_answer_refuses_the_escape takes the new argument and its assertions do not move, which is the point.

A pre-existing defect the width test found and does not fix

every_recovery_card_line_fits_in_every_language gates this slice's copy only. The card's older
lines already overrun the 240 px panel today: body (de 252 px, fr 276 px, es 240 px), damaged
(de 276, fr 288) and the continue_ride row label (de 224, fr 266, es 224 against a 192 px label
budget). Including them would fail the test against copy that shipped long before it, and pinning
those widths would only freeze the defect. Reported here as a separate finding; the new keys all fit
with room to spare (worst body 216/224, worst row 154/192).

Checks run

Everything below was run in the implementation worktree at head 90e56ded.

  • test affected --base origin/develop — dry run read first, then run. All 21 selected suites
    green
    , including rust.obc-app, rust.obc-sim, rust.obc-host-core, rust.obc-web-demo,
    rust.obc-skin-preview, python.repository-tools and all eight policy guards.
    rust.obc-fw-nrf54l skipped locally (linux-only) — both board images were built by hand instead
    (below). rust.obc-platform was added to the plan by the second commit and run separately:
    38 tests green.
  • cargo test -p obc-app — 982 lib + 24 integration binaries, all green (re-run after the M1 delta).
  • M1 delta re-verification (head 50217a62): full cargo test -p obc-app, clippy on obc-app,
    cargo fmt --all --check + cargo fmt --check in the board root, the three guard scripts, both
    Python tools suites, and both board images (--release and --release --features debug-uart).
    No new sweep: RideRecovery still has no frame in the manifest and the delta touches no other
    screen's drawing. No resource re-run: size_of::<RideRecoveryState>() is still 2 bytes
    (Option<RideDamage> fits RideDamage's niche), so nothing resident moves.
  • cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings on obc-app, obc-platform, obc-sim,
    obc-host-core — clean.
  • cargo fmt --all --check plus cargo fmt --check in firmware/obc-fw-nrf54l,
    firmware/obc-boot and apps/obc-desktop — clean.
  • check_one_home.py, check_render_keys.py, check_screen_vocabulary.py — pass.
  • python3 -m unittest discover -s firmware/tools/tests -q (90 tests) and
    -s tools/tests -q (159 tests) — both OK.
  • Board builds: both. cargo build --release (default) and
    cargo build --release --features debug-uart both succeed, so the injection commands are known to
    compile. Only the default image is measured.
  • UI snapshot sweep, once, at the final head, as a check: 312 rendered, 312 byte-identical.
    No update step. RideRecovery has no frame in the sweep and nothing else this slice touches
    draws.

Deliberately omitted, per CLAUDE.md's verification budget: obc test full (nothing cross-cutting
moves), obc suites check (no suite, workflow or registry change — every test lands in an existing
file), wake-profile isolations (no wake or scheduling term moves; this slice removes per-pass
work), mutant demonstrations, and the iOS / web / desktop surfaces beyond what the registry selected.
docs/build_docs.py --check-links was not run because no public doc changed — see below.

Resources

One head board build (default features) against the recorded firmware/tools/resource_baseline.json.
The base was not rebuilt, so every link-level figure below is a cross-checkout record, not a
base-to-head delta, and no cause is claimed for the differences.

Figure Head Baseline Note
compile_time_allocations.app 51,368 51,368 exact match — the gate
flat_ride_delta 500 500 unchanged
.bss + .data 305,664 305,192 +472 (cross-checkout record)
.uninit 132,096 132,096 unchanged
poll_frame_measured 9,792 9,792 unchanged
task_frame_measured 1,100 1,100 unchanged
residual_stack_measured 53,760 54,232 −472, the mirror of the resident row
boot chain (pinned host) 13,716 13,708 +8
measured_flash 1,458,152 1,449,768 a record, not a gate

resource_guard.py board and resource_guard.py report both pass ("allocation report matches
baseline"). size_of::<Screen>() stays 104 and size_of::<RenderKey>() stays within 304 — both are
asserted in-tree and both held. Settings VERSION stays 18 / MIN_SUPPORTED 16; no settings
surface is touched. The recovery state is two bytes where one bool was, and the card's mode one
byte where its bool was, which is why app did not move.

Documentation

No public documentation changed. docs/content/software/ui.md mentions the recovered-ride card only
as one of the screens that refuse the global escape, and that fact is unchanged by this slice —
nothing under docs/content/ describes the recovery decision's outcomes. The four debug-uart
commands are documented in firmware/obc-fw-nrf54l/README.md, which is a README, not a public doc.

Where the spec and reality differed

  • The issue placed the boot damage line in ride.rs; it lives in flat_ride.rs's faulted()
    helper instead, because the object id and revision the acceptance criterion asks for are in scope
    there and nowhere else. recovery_damage() keeps the signature the issue specified.
  • RideRecoveryState is pub(crate), not pub. Nothing outside the crate needs it — the board
    passes a RideDamage and the screen reads the state through RecoveryMode::of — and a public
    enum with no external caller would be dead API.
  • The width test's scope is narrowed to this slice's copy, for the pre-existing overrun described
    above.
  • One bound the issue did not name was needed to make "mints no effect at all" true: a recovered
    object no longer admits the checkpoint cadence.

On-device acceptance (still owed)

Scenarios A (payload → repair → census → ride, no reboot), B (metadata, the classification proof)
and C (injected failure → latch → 60 s of silence → usable device → START re-raises → retry commits)
are specified in #1591 and are the orchestrator's to run on the owner's board. This PR is not to
be merged until that run passes.

…g, typed terminal states

A durable RECORDING object an executor cannot attach to a session is now a
classified fault with a bounded repair.

- `RideDamage` names the three causes apart: `Payload` and `Metadata` are a
  ride's own bytes going bad on a healthy card; `Catalog` is the index failing
  to read, which has no repair this domain may attempt.
- `RideRecoveryState` replaces the `recovered_held` flag and is the bound on
  automatic writes. The rider's confirmation becomes exactly one
  `RecorderEffect::Discard`; a failure latches `RepairFailed` (or `Unrepairable`
  for a read-only store), retires the request, and mints nothing further that
  boot. A fresh confirmation buys exactly one more attempt, with no reboot.
- `Unrepairable` never mints an effect at all.
- P4: a `Start` against a standing damaged object opens no session. It keeps the
  request, reports `RecoveryOwed` once per ask, and the pass re-raises the card.
- The recovery card gains four modes with their own row tables; the two terminal
  modes carry Retry and a labelled Back row. `Caps`, the escape set and Back's
  inertness are unchanged.
- A recovered object no longer admits a checkpoint or an append: those belong to
  a session, and minting one was an automatic write nobody asked for.

…used removal by kind

The board's three existing `State::Faulted` sites now name which fault produced
them, through one `faulted()` helper that also announces the object, the cause
and whether a repair may be offered for it.

- `Catalog` (the listing could not be read, or does not hold the recovered key),
  `Metadata` (the continuation image does not decode) and `Payload` (the bytes
  are not a v3 sample/footer boundary).
- The two boot sites stop raising the recording warning: the recovery card names
  the damage, and `REC_ERROR` means a ride log went incomplete, which is not this.
  The third site never raised it, which was the inconsistency.
- `service_terminal` answers with a typed `StoreError`, and `discard` returns it,
  so a store that will take no mutation reaches Recorder as `ReadOnly` rather
  than as one more failed write. A removal the catalog no longer needs
  (`NotFound`) is success. The Discarding arm no longer raises its own warning —
  the caller reports the typed refusal.
- One RTT line per removal attempt and per outcome, which is what the on-device
  acceptance reads.

`debug-uart` only, for that acceptance run: `ride-damage payload`,
`ride-damage metadata`, `ride-repair-fail` and `store-census`. The two
fabrications go through the production seam — one `start` and one journalled
checkpoint — so no card surgery is involved, and the refusal injection sits at
the executor's answer without issuing a commit. All four dead-strip from the
release image, and the board README documents them beside `dfu-install`.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Ride recovery now classifies damaged recordings, limits repair attempts to rider-confirmed actions, exposes explicit recovery states, and renders mode-specific recovery cards. Firmware propagates typed storage errors. Debug-UART commands support damage, failure, and store-census validation.

Changes

Ride recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recovery state machine
firmware/obc-app/src/recorder.rs
Typed damage and recovery states control repair, retry, session blocking, failure latching, and successful same-boot recovery.
Firmware damage and storage handling
firmware/obc-fw-nrf54l/src/flat_ride.rs, firmware/obc-fw-nrf54l/src/ride.rs
Recovered recordings retain damage classifications. Terminal operations return typed storage errors and map read-only failures to an unrepairable outcome.
Recovery card modes and application wiring
firmware/obc-app/src/app.rs, firmware/obc-app/src/device_core/pass.rs, firmware/obc-app/src/screen/*, firmware/obc-app/i18n/*.toml, firmware/obc-app/tests/ride_recovery.rs, firmware/obc-app/src/harness/screens.rs, firmware/obc-app/src/lib.rs
The application derives recovery modes, guards discard and retry actions, supports Leave, and adds localized and end-to-end coverage.
Debug recovery validation
firmware/obc-platform/src/debug_link.rs, firmware/obc-fw-nrf54l/src/flat_ride.rs, firmware/obc-fw-nrf54l/src/flat_store.rs, firmware/obc-fw-nrf54l/src/ride.rs, firmware/obc-fw-nrf54l/README.md
Debug-UART commands inject payload or metadata damage, force one repair failure, and print store census data. Documentation describes the acceptance workflow.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9e672

This change adds typed recovery and exact one-attempt removal behavior, but the required real-board acceptance run is still pending and an unresolved issue may prevent the damage-injection flow from reopening recovery after boot. The PR should not merge until that acceptance path is confirmed.

Adversarial review — PR #1592 (terminal ride recovery), head 90e56ded

Read the complete diff, the changed and surrounding old/new code in recorder.rs,
pass.rs, app.rs, ride_recovery.rs, flat_ride.rs, flat_store.rs, ride.rs,
debug_link.rs, plus obc-storage/src/flat/store.rs (unchanged, but it is what the
policy is about). Verified the code against the owner's policy comments 5468099058 /
5468153801 / 5468182382 / 5468196894 directly, not only against #1591. Probes were
read-only in the implementer's worktree, plus four focused test filters on obc-app.

Merge additionally waits on the on-device acceptance run on the real board,
whatever this verdict says.
That run is the orchestrator's and has not happened.


Findings

Medium

M1 — the unbounded per-pass removal loop survives on the Resumable path.
recorder.rs:761 (attempting()) maps only Repairable | RepairFailed to Repairing;
Resumable falls through the other => other arm. So after a Resumable discard fails,
apply_outcome's attempt_in_flight() is None, the close stays pending, and
next_effect's object gate (holds_object(Resumable) == true, recorder.rs:691)
re-mints a full Mutation::Remove catalog commit on every pass, for ever, each one
raising REC_ERROR.

Concrete scenario: the card recovers a valid ride at boot (the ordinary
RIDE RECOVERED card, not the damaged one). The rider holds Discard. The removal
fails on media. From that pass on, the device issues one full catalog commit per app
pass against the card that also holds the map, until the rider reboots — the exact
behaviour this slice was written to end, on the same store operation, on the same card.

This is pre-existing and not a regression — before this PR both the resumable and
the damaged path looped, and the PR strictly narrows it. It is also what #1591 asked
for: the issue's state table lists Resumable's effects as plain "Discard" with no
one-per-action qualifier. So this is a spec-vs-policy gap, not an implementation
error
: owner comment 5468153801 item 1 says "Run one targeted discard attempt per
rider action. Never retry every pass"
without restricting it to the damaged object,
and the discard here is the same targeted Mutation::Remove.

I am not asking for it in this PR. The fix is not free — latching a failed resumable
discard into RepairFailed would show a rider "Repair failed" for a healthy ride they
chose to throw away, which is wrong copy — so it needs an owner disposition and a
child issue, not a patch bolted onto this head. Flagging it so the epic does not close
believing #1557 finding 3 is fully retired.

Low

L2 — the "the two boot sites stop raising REC_ERROR" claim describes a no-op.
ride.rs:880 takes warning_pending before the branch chain, and the
else if recovery_warning arm at ride.rs:887 is unreachable whenever
recovery_damage() is Some. So those two sites never actually raised REC_ERROR;
setting warning_pending = true there was already dead, and P1's "unintended
inconsistency" between the three sites was inconsequential. Removing it is a correct
cleanup — but the PR body and the issue both present it as a behaviour fix.

The real "no warning beside the failed repair" guarantee comes from two other places,
both genuinely new and both load-bearing: the RecoveryLatched arm at pass.rs:425
(which returns before the Failed → REC_ERROR arm can run), and the dropped
warning_pending = true in flat_ride.rs's Discarding error arm. Worth correcting
the prose so a later reader does not believe a misbehaviour was repaired that never
occurred.

L3 — Cancelled does not re-raise the card. recorder.rs:790-796 returns
RecorderVerdict::Nothing, so after an abandoned repair the rider is on Home with a
Repairable object standing and no visible card. Their only route back is pressing
START (→ RecoveryOwed → re-raise). Failed re-raises; Cancelled does not. #1591
says "the rider may confirm again", which is true only via that indirect path.
Unreachable today — neither shipped executor answers a Discard with Cancelled — so
informational, but if the item-2 contract's honest arm ever gets a producer this is the
line to change.

L4 — one assertion short on the Cancelled arm.
a_failed_repair_costs_one_attempt_and_waits_for_the_rider asserts the state returns to
Repairable and that nothing is minted unasked, but never drives the next confirm to
show it mints exactly one. I verified it by reading (Repairablerequest(Discard)
holds_object true → one mint → inflight blocks the second), so the behaviour is
right; the test just does not say so.

L5 — Repairing has no guard of its own; inflight is doing all the work. If an
executor answered a Discard token with Checkpointed or Appended (a protocol
violation), apply_outcome would clear inflight, leave recovery == Repairing and
pending == Some(Discard), and the next pass would re-mint — attempting() on
Repairing is a no-op, so the loop would never latch. Not reachable: ride.rs:1546-1550
and dispatch.rs:799-806 both answer a Discard with Discarded/Failed only.
Recording it because it is the one state in the new machine whose bound is not its own.

L6 — ride-damage guards on the executor's state, not the app's session.
debug_fabricate_damage refuses unless flat_ride is State::Idle, which correctly
refuses mid-ride. But if an app session is open while flat_ride is Idle (a start the
card refused), the injection creates a Live object with session: None, which the
next open() would then adopt through the live.session.is_none() arm. Harness-only
and the README tells the operator to run it from idle; noting it so an acceptance run
that hits a refused start does not read a confusing log.

L7 — copy nit in the width test's pin. The message names
en "Card needs service" / es "Reparación fallida"; fr "Réparation échouée" is also
18 chars → 216 px and is equally the worst case.

Note, no action

N8 — the resource comparison has no discriminating power except the one gate.
firmware/tools/resource_baseline.json was last touched 75 commits before
origin/develop's head. So the +8,384 measured_flash, +472 .bss+.data and
−472 residual-stack rows carry 75 commits of develop and cannot be attributed to this
slice at all. The PR says exactly that and claims no cause, which is the honest framing —
but it also means #1591's "expect ≈ 0 flash on default" and ".bss byte-identical"
expectations were unmeetable by construction under the one-head-build rule.

The figure that does discriminate held: compile_time_allocations.app exact-matched
at 51,368
, and that table is precisely where an enum growing past the bool it replaced
would have shown. flat_ride_delta 500 unchanged, size_of::<Screen>() 104,
size_of::<RenderKey>() ≤ 304. The resident claim is verified; the flash row is not this
slice's and should not be read as such.


What I probed and cleared

The one-attempt bound, exhaustively. RecorderEffect is constructed in exactly one
place in the whole workspace — next_effect, recorder.rs:697/705/718/724. There is no
second mint site, so the state machine is the only gate that has to hold. With that:

  • Unrepairable(_): holds_object() is false and session is None, so
    recorder.rs:691 returns before pending is even read. request(Discard) changes
    nothing. No effect is minted, ever, on any pass, after any rider action. Pinned by
    an_unrepairable_recording_is_never_offered_to_the_store (20 passes) — and that test is
    not a tautology: against the old recovered_held flag it mints a Discard on pass 0.
  • RepairFailed(d): apply_outcome sets pending = None and returns early
    (recorder.rs:775-780), so the next pass reads pending == None, falls to the new
    self.session? and returns None. Nothing is minted without a fresh
    request(Discard)
    , and a fresh one mints exactly one (inflight blocks the second in
    the same pass; the state moves to Repairing).
  • Repairing(d): inflight.is_some() returns None at recorder.rs:688 before anything
    else. Nothing new while in flight. (Caveat L5 for a malformed outcome.)
  • Converse — no wedge. Discardedclose() (recorder.rs:829-838) sets
    recovery = None, session = None, and pending = restart_after_close.then_some(Start)
    which is None here. The next advance sees is_damaged() == false and returns
    Opened(Fresh). Pinned by a_repaired_recording_lets_the_next_ride_open_in_the_same_boot
    and end-to-end by the_failed_repair_card_retries_without_a_reboot. No latch survives a
    successful repair.

Deviation 4 (the cadence suppression) cannot leak into the ordinary ride path. The
predicate is self.session? at recorder.rs:712, and session and recovery are
provably disjoint: session is written in exactly two places (recorder.rs:643 in
advance, which sets recovery = None in the same breath, and recorder.rs:830 in
close()); offer_recovery refuses while session.is_some(); and advance refuses to
open while is_damaged(). So recovery != None implies session == None and vice versa.
A live ride therefore reaches self.session? with Some and checkpoints and appends
exactly as before — the ranks, the checkpoint_owed retry and the append prefix logic are
untouched. Exclusion 9 holds for the same reason: an in-ride failed close has
attempt_in_flight() == None, so it keeps its pending close and re-offers every pass,
and pass.rs:418 still raises REC_ERROR for it.

Resume edge. continue_recovered() on a Resumable object arms resume_next and
requests Start; advance sees is_damaged(Resumable) == false, opens
SessionStart::Recovered, clears recovery, and the continued ride then checkpoints on
the ordinary cadence — nothing about the new gate touches it.

Cadence bound is load-bearing, not decorative. checkpoint_due is
checkpoint_owed || now - last_checkpoint_ms >= 10_000 with last_checkpoint_ms == 0 for
a never-opened machine. a_failed_repair_costs_one_attempt_and_waits_for_the_rider drives
passes at 2 + n*CHECKPOINT_MS, so without self.session? pass 1 (now = 10_002) would
mint a Checkpoint against a recovered object and the assertion would fail. Both halves of
that test's middle assertion bite.

Cancelled arm. Returns to Repairable(d) and clears pending
(recorder.rs:790-796) only when an attempt was in flight; an ordinary in-ride cancel keeps
its pending close. A subsequent confirm mints exactly one — see L4 for the missing assertion.

P4 / phantom session. advance (recorder.rs:629-637) checks is_damaged() after
the caps refusal and before touching pending, seq or session: no session opens, the
Start stays pending, and refusal_told reports once per ask. request()
(recorder.rs:547-563) clears refusal_told and replaces pending, so a subsequent
Discard does displace the kept Start. And the kept Start cannot fire behind the rider
after a repair, because close() overwrites pending unconditionally from
restart_after_close (false on this path) — pinned by the last two assertions of
a_start_against_a_damaged_recording_re_raises_the_decision_once_per_ask.

Error mapping. ride.rs:1546-1550 maps StoreError::ReadOnly → RecorderError::ReadOnly
and everything else to Write; ReadOnly is a real store gate (store.rs:1446/1560/1587/ 1624/1674 — exhausted revision and sequence space), so the classification is honest.
NotFound = success in flat_ride.rs's Discarding arm is safe and does not wedge:
the state goes Idle, discard() answers Ok, Recorder close()s and clears, and the
store's residual ride/recovered RAM (which settle_ride does not clear on a
non-commit) is only ever read at mount, so it cannot affect this boot; the extents were
already freed by whatever removed the row. apply_outcome's match error is the only
exhaustive match on RecorderError in the workspace, so adding the variant breaks nothing;
dispatch.rs only ever constructs Write, so a host recovery flow can reach
RepairFailed but never Unrepairable. Confirmed as specified.

The warning change. take_warning has three call sites (ride.rs:880, :1569,
:2200). Mid-ride append/checkpoint failures still set warning_pending
(flat_ride.rs:444/467) and still raise REC_ERROR through ride.rs:1569, unchanged.
An in-ride failed Discard still raises it, now through Recorder's Failed verdict
rather than through warning_pending — same rider-visible result. See L2 for what the
boot-site change actually is.

The card. Four row tables verified against the modes; Row::guard() is a property of
the row, so a plain tap can never reach RecorderIntent::Discard in any mode — the only
request(Discard) is under (Gesture::Hold, Row::Discard | Row::Retry). Back rows exist
only in RepairFailed and Unrepairable. Step is inert on the one-row modes
(rows.len() > 1 guard), and row()/draw are index-safe on every table.
screen/mod.rs changes one pub use line and nothing else: Caps::modal().hold_fill() .blocks_escape() at :1095 and the named escape set at :1835 are untouched, which is
why the amended harness test's assertions do not move. Mode desync is prevented by
raise_ride_recovery() being the single raise site, reading RecorderMachine::recovery()
live through RecoveryMode::of. The Static render-key question is moot: the re-root sets
self.ui.map_dirty = true directly (app.rs:2272), and nothing between there and
stage_plan clears it — the repaint does not depend on the key moving. cancel_holds() +
hold_cancel_pending on the re-raise correctly kills an in-flight hold, which matters
because stage_outcomes (stage 1) re-roots before stage_input (stage 3) applies this
pass's gestures.

Tautology audit. All seven new tests and the two amendments drive real state. I ran
them: each_recovery_mode_offers_exactly_its_own_actions,
every_recovery_card_line_fits_in_every_language,
a_failed_repair_costs_one_attempt_and_waits_for_the_rider,
a_read_only_store_ends_the_repair_rather_than_offering_a_retry,
a_repaired_recording_lets_the_next_ride_open_in_the_same_boot,
an_unrepairable_recording_is_never_offered_to_the_store,
a_start_against_a_damaged_recording_re_raises_the_decision_once_per_ask,
the_failed_repair_card_retries_without_a_reboot, plus the four amended/existing recovery
tests — all green. I verified by reading, rather than by editing, that the two absence
assertions fail against the pre-change code (the old recovered_held gate mints a
Discard on pass 0 in both cases, and the pending-preserving arm mints one on every pass
after that).

Width budgets and deviation 3 — numbers confirmed exactly. text_width is monospace
(char_width * chars), so the pins are arithmetic: Font::Label is 12 px/char,
Font::Body 14 px/char. The budgets are correctly derived from
GuardedRowsGeometry::panel (x: 14, w: w - 28, label_dx: 12) and
draw_guarded_rows' Font::Body label — row_room = 192, body_room = 224. The claimed
pre-existing overruns are all real: body de 21×12 = 252, fr 23×12 = 276, es
20×12 = 240; damaged de 23×12 = 276, fr 24×12 = 288; continue_ride de
16×14 = 224, fr 19×14 = 266, es 16×14 = 224 — every one over its budget. The
new copy fits: worst body 216/224, worst row 154/192 (de "Wiederholen"), both matching the
pinned values. Deviation 3 is correct and the separate issue is warranted.

debug-uart isolation. The board crate has no default feature list;
debug-uart = ["obc-platform/debug-link"] is opt-in, and the handoff module that owns
the Signals and take_* functions is #[cfg(feature = "debug-link")]. All four drain
sites in ride.rs are #[cfg(feature = "debug-uart")], as are
debug_fabricate_damage, debug_arm_repair_failure, debug_census and the
repair_fail_once field. On a release build the commands cannot be parsed into an action
and cannot run. store-census is strictly read-only with respect to the card:
entries(), entry_count(), entries_ok() and free_extents() are all &self readers
with no write path, and it runs synchronously in the ride loop with no await, so it cannot
interleave with a commit.

Exclusions all hold. No obc-storage line in the diff. No new RecorderEffect
variant. No Caps, escape-set, RenderKeyKind, Screen-variant or settings change
(VERSION 18 / MIN_SUPPORTED 16 untouched). No persisted recovery state — the latch is
a RAM field in RecorderMachine. The ordinary in-ride close is untouched. No FORMAT
surface, no ride purge, no touch of store.rs:1237-1244, no timer/wake/replay.
RideRecoveryScreen::default() has no caller, so the Default mode flipping from
"damaged" (old can_continue: false) to Resumable is inert.

Policy re-derivation. I checked the Catalog → Unrepairable mapping against the
store rather than against the spec, because it is the one classification that removes the
rider's repair entirely. recover_ride is only ever entered from a catalog RECORDING
entry, so catalog_name.is_none() at flat_ride.rs:135 can only mean the re-listing hit a
media failure or was cut short — the same fact entries_ok() reports. There is no benign
"catalog is clean, journal is stale" case being mis-sentenced to Card needs service.
That matches 5468196894's "no safe automatic object-level repair… preserve the card and
direct the rider to service"
. The retry-without-reboot behaviour matches 5468153801 items
2 and 3; the absence of any FORMAT or companion surface matches the 5468182382 correction.


Deviation dispositions

  1. Boot damage line in flat_ride.rs's faulted() helper rather than ride.rs
    accepted. The id and revision the acceptance criterion reads are in scope there and
    nowhere else, and the single-construction-site helper is the better shape.
  2. RideRecoveryState is pub(crate)accepted. No caller outside the crate;
    the board passes a RideDamage and the screen reads the state through
    RecoveryMode::of. A pub enum with no external caller would be dead API.
  3. The width test gates only the new copyaccepted, numbers independently
    confirmed
    (above). Pinning the pre-existing widths would freeze a real defect.
    The separate issue should be filed.
  4. The extra cadence boundaccepted, and it is the right call. It is genuinely
    needed for "mints no effect at all" to be true (without it a latched failure mints a
    Checkpoint every 10 s against an object nobody asked anything of), it is one line, it
    cannot reach the ordinary ride path because session and recovery are disjoint by
    construction, and it is covered by an assertion that fails without it. This is the
    deviation I scrutinised hardest and it comes out clean.
  5. The OUT/ near-miss, reverted — nothing in the diff.

Verdict: APPROVE

The safety-critical property this slice exists for holds under exhaustive enumeration:
there is one mint site, Unrepairable never reaches it, RepairFailed reaches it only on
a fresh rider confirmation, Repairing is blocked while in flight, and a successful repair
leaves no latch that could wedge recording. The converse — the overshoot failure mode —
is closed too. No finding in this review is a defect in what the issue asked for.

M1 (the Resumable path's surviving per-pass loop) is a scope question for the owner and
a follow-up child, not a change to this head. L2 asks for a prose correction, not code.
L3–L7 are notes.

Merge still waits on the on-device acceptance run (scenarios A, B and C) regardless of
this verdict — that is the orchestrator's, on the owner's board, and it has not happened.

The one-attempt test now drives the confirm after a Cancel and shows it
mints exactly one more attempt, and the width-test pin message names
all three 216 px bodies. Review findings on #1592.

…e attempt too

Owner ruling on M1 (#1591, #1557): "one attempt per rider action, never per
pass" is unqualified, so it applies to the resumable path as well. A rider who
confirmed Discard on a *healthy* recovered ride whose removal failed still had
the close pending, so Recorder re-minted it every pass.

The removal is one operation with two subjects, so the state now carries what
the object was rather than duplicating the phase per subject: `Attempting(d)`
and `Latched(d)` replace `Repairing`/`RepairFailed`, with `None` meaning a whole
recovered ride and `Some(damage)` a damaged recording. `Unrepairable` drops its
payload — nothing read it, and a read-only store ends a whole ride's discard
where there is no damage to name.

- `Failed{Write}` on a resumable discard latches `Latched(None)`, clears the
  pending close and returns `RecoveryLatched`: the card comes back as
  "Discard failed" with Retry (hold-guarded) and Back, and no REC_ERROR.
- `Failed{ReadOnly}` latches `Unrepairable` for either subject. Nothing is lost:
  a store that will not take the removal will not take a continued ride's
  writes either.
- `Cancelled` returns the full Resumable card — nothing was attempted and the
  ride is still whole, so it stays continuable.
- A START against a standing failed discard re-raises the decision on the same
  `RecoveryOwed` path; no phantom session.

The recovery state stays two bytes, so nothing resident moves. The ordinary
in-ride close is untouched: a live ride's failed Save/Discard still re-offers.

Delta re-review — 90e56ded..50217a62 (two test errands + the M1 fold-in)

Scope is only what moved since the approved head: f1648384 (two test additions) and
50217a62 (the M1 fold-in). Read the full delta, the updated PR body, and the affected
code in place; re-ran the recovery suites read-only in the implementer's worktree.

The M1 finding is delivered. The per-pass removal loop is now dead for both
subjects of the exact removal, and nothing I cleared in the first round has moved.


The one-attempt bound, re-derived over the collapsed states

The collapse is sound because the branch that matters is on Attempting/Latched as
variants, not on their payload:

  • attempting() (recorder.rs:257-266) now maps Resumable → Attempting(None),
    Repairable(d) → Attempting(Some(d)), Latched(d) → Attempting(d). other => other
    catches None, Unrepairable and a re-entrant Attempting. So a rider-confirmed
    removal of a whole recovered ride now enters the same one-attempt track.
  • apply_outcome's Failed arm matches if let Attempting(damage) = self.recovery, so
    Attempting(None) latches exactly like Attempting(Some(_)): pending = None, return
    RecoveryLatched. That is M1 closed — the close no longer stays pending, so
    next_effect cannot re-mint.
  • next_effect's gate is holds_object(), which admits Latched(None) and
    Latched(Some(_)) identically (both true) — and it does not matter, because pending
    is None after the latch, so the pass falls to self.session? and returns None. The
    two subjects are treated identically at every step. Unrepairable is still excluded from
    holds_object(), so it mints nothing ever, before or after request().
  • Exclusion 9 is intact. An ordinary in-ride close has recovery == None, which
    attempting() leaves as None and which the if let Attempting(..) in both the Failed
    and Cancelled arms does not match — so the close stays pending, re-offers every pass,
    and pass.rs:418 still raises REC_ERROR. That rider is still riding.
  • The self.session? cadence gate is unaffected: session and recovery are still
    disjoint by construction (advance clears recovery on open, and now refuses to open for
    a strictly larger set of states), so a live ride still reaches it with Some.

Re-ran in the worktree: 45 recorder::tests, 7 recovery screen/recorder tests and the 4
tests/ride_recovery.rs integration tests — all green.

blocks_recording() — every caller still means the name

One production caller, advance (recorder.rs:639); the rest are tests. The body is
unchanged (!matches!(self, None | Resumable)), but the set it now covers is larger,
because Attempting(None) and Latched(None) did not exist before — and both genuinely
block recording, so the name reads true.

That is a second P4-class hole closed, which I had not called out. Pre-delta, a failed
discard of a whole recovered ride left the state Resumable, is_damaged() was false,
and advance would open a session against an object the board still holds in
State::Discardingopen() hits its _ => {} arm, no object is created, every append is
refused and the finalize fails. A phantom session, exactly the shape of P4. It is now
RecoveryOwed and the card comes back. The same applies to a START during an in-flight
resumable discard, which pre-delta opened a session that the arriving Discarded then
immediately close()d. Both are improvements the delta gets for free from the collapse.

The Attempting(None)Resumable mapping (implementer's flag 2)

I probed this hardest, as asked. Unreachable through any production path, and benign if
it were reached.

Unreachable: the card is raised from exactly three places, and only one can fire mid-flight
RecoveryOwed out of advance_recorder_session. On the board and on the host, gestures
reach the app only through run_pass's PassInputs, applied at stage 3
(stage_input), while an outcome is consumed at stage 1 (stage_outcomes). Neither
production host calls App::apply_gesture (only the sim and tests do, and no simulator path
offers a recovery). Combined with the item-2 executor contract — exactly one terminal
outcome before the next app pass — the state has always resolved out of Attempting before
any gesture can land. The mapping is defensive only.

Benign if it were reached — the coordinator's exact question, traced through: the re-raised
card would show Continue (unguarded) and Discard. A Continue press calls
continue_recovered() (arms resume_next, requests Start) and returns
Transition::Root(Map); apply_gesture then runs advance_recorder_session, which sees
blocks_recording(Attempting(None)) == true and answers RecoveryOwed, re-raising the card.
So no session opens — the rider gets a one-frame bounce to the Map and back, not a
continued ride. If the removal then succeeds: close() clears recovery/session/pending
and RecorderVerdict::Dropped runs end_ride_session(), which calls reset_totals(),
reset_ride() and reset_detour(). The only residue is a stale resume_next, whose sole
effect on a later START is classifying it SessionStart::Recovered rather than Fresh
and the three resets that distinguish those two have already been performed by
end_ride_session. No phantom session, no totals leak from the deleted ride, no data loss.
If the removal fails instead, the rider lands on Discard failed and the only way forward is
Retry, whose request(Discard) clears resume_next — the path self-heals.

Worth one line of awareness: this is safe because outcomes are staged before input. If that
order ever inverts, the mapping becomes live. The doc comment at ride_recovery.rs:84-86
already names the assumption, which is the right place for it.

The Unrepairable payload removal

No board logging change and no card copy change, verified rather than assumed. The board's
damage line comes from flat_ride::faulted() reading its own State::Faulted { damage }
— untouched by the delta — and ride.rs still passes the classified RideDamage into
offer_damaged_ride. Recorder's copy of the damage was never read by the board: the only
consumer of RecorderMachine::recovery() in the workspace is App::raise_ride_recovery
(app.rs:2265) → RecoveryMode::of, and the Unrepairable arm never referenced the
payload. Msg::RideRecoveryUnrepairable is unchanged.

Neither weakened assertion loses anything load-bearing. The Catalog → Unrepairable
classification is still pinned by for_damage; what the two assertions dropped is only
"…and it remembers which damage", which nothing reads. And
a_read_only_store_ends_the_decision_rather_than_offering_a_retry gained a loop over both
subjects, so the ReadOnly arm is now pinned strictly more strongly than before.

Everything else in the delta

  • Cancelled → full Resumable. apply_outcome maps Attempting(None) → Resumable
    and Attempting(Some(d)) → Repairable(d), clearing pending in both. Correct: nothing
    was performed, so a whole ride is still whole. a_failed_discard_of_a_whole_recovered_ride _costs_one_attempt_too drives continue_recovered() afterwards and asserts
    Opened(SessionStart::Recovered), which is the assertion that gives "still Resumable" its
    meaning. Good test.
  • My L4 and L7 are both fixed by f1648384: the confirm-after-Cancel now mints exactly
    one and is asserted, and the width pin's message names fr "Réparation échouée" alongside
    the other two 216 px worst cases.
  • Widths confirmed by arithmetic (Label is 12 px/char, monospace): en "Discard failed"
    168, fr "Abandon échoué" 168, de "Nicht verworfen" 180, es "Descarte fallido" 192 — all
    under the 224 px body budget, and all under the existing 216 px worst case, so
    worst_body correctly stays pinned at 216. The 168–192 claim is exact.
  • Copy separation is asserted, not assumed: the new assert_ne! on the en DiscardFailed
    vs RepairFailed body is the right shape — it pins the distinction the owner ruled for
    rather than the string.
  • No sweep needed — correct: RideRecovery still has no frame in the manifest and the
    delta touches no other screen's drawing.
  • Scope: the delta touches six files, all in obc-app and its catalogs. No
    obc-storage, no board, no debug_link, no new RecorderEffect variant, no Caps /
    escape-set / render-key / settings change. Every exclusion I checked in round one still
    holds.

Note, no action

Resources were not re-measured at 50217a62. I verified the reasoning independently
rather than taking it: RideDamage is a three-variant fieldless enum (1 byte, 253 spare
values), so Option<RideDamage> is 1 byte through the niche, and RideRecoveryState is a
1-byte tag plus a 1-byte payload — 2 bytes, exactly what the pair it replaced was.
RecoveryMode gained a fifth fieldless variant and stays 1 byte, so
size_of::<Screen>() is unmoved. And CI runs resource_guard.py board --profile default
and report --profile default at the final head (ci.yml:505/521), which is the
exact-match gate itself — so the skipped local re-run costs nothing. Acceptable under the
verification budget.

Coverage nit: each_recovery_mode_offers_exactly_its_own_actions asserts
DiscardFailed's row table and its distinct copy, but never drives a gesture through a
RideRecoveryScreen::new(RecoveryMode::DiscardFailed). Nothing is at risk — handle
dispatches on Row, and the two failed modes return the same &'static [Row] — so the
behaviour is identical by construction. Recording it only because the mode is new.


Verdict: APPROVE (delta)

M1 is delivered as the owner ruled, with the correct copy split, and the collapse makes the
bound simpler rather than adding a second code path — the removal is one operation with
two subjects and the state now says so. Nothing I cleared in the first round moved, the
in-flight Continue race is unreachable and bounded, the Unrepairable payload removal is
invisible everywhere it could have mattered, and the delta closes a phantom-session hole on
the resumable path that neither of us had named. No findings requiring a change.

Merge still waits on the on-device acceptance run (scenarios A, B and C) on the owner's
board — that is the orchestrator's and has not happened. Worth noting that scenario C's
injected failure now also has a resumable analogue worth one extra minute on the board if
it is cheap: ride-repair-fail armed against a whole recovered ride would exercise the
new Latched(None) card. Not a gate; the host tests pin it.

On-device acceptance status (2026-08-30): attempted, blocked by the harness, NOT run — the PR stays open.

What happened: the debug-uart image at head 9e67241d was built and flashed to the board (two verified passes; standalone verify passed) and the board boots it cleanly — the card carries the map, 64 routes and 3 finished rides, satisfying the scenario precondition. But the J-Link VCOM injection path is in its documented wedge (README §Driving DFU over the VCOM): device→host telemetry streams at 2 Hz on the …963 CDC port while host→device writes vanish silently, so no command — not store-census, not even a plain K t 0 — reaches the firmware. Two power-cycle attempts did not clear it; the second confirmed a full power-down of both cables and the wedge (or a variant) persisted on return. Scenarios A/B/C were not started; the card was never touched — no damage was fabricated.

State for the next session:

Resume recipe: fresh full power-cycle (both cables out, switch off, wait, debug cable back in) → probe-rs attach for RTT → liveness-probe the link before trusting it (snapshot RTT log size, send K t 0, expect an input: line) → run #1591 scenarios A, B, C → merge → reflash release.
