Conversation
Two independent fixes to the headless CLI, neither retain-specific. **`debug write` silently unforced.** The debug protocol has exactly one mutation PDU — FC 0x42, carrying a `force` flag rather than a three-way op (modbus-pdu.ts:41). `applyWrite` sent both verbs through the same `setVariable(index, force, bytes)`, so a soft write arrived as `handle_set(…, forcing = false, …)` — which runs `unforce` and DISCARDS the value bytes. Reproduced on hardware, identically on runtime v4 over WebSocket and on a P1AM-100 over RTU: the command reports success and the value never moves. The verb is removed rather than implemented. A soft write has no wire representation and does not need one: `DBGW_OP_WRITE` / `handle_write` exist for consumers running INSIDE the runtime — the OPC-UA plugin reaches it today via `args->debug_write`, and retain restore will do the same — so widening the protocol would add a command with no caller. `set` and `write` are now rejected in the REPL instead of quietly unforcing, and `applyWrite` collapses into `applyForce`, which no longer takes a flag it only ever passed one value for. **A working credential was in the docs.** `docs/CLI.md` used `--credentials op:op` against `192.168.2.4` — a real account on a real device, not a placeholder, sitting in a checked-in file next to the host it opens. Now `user:pass` against `10.0.0.10`, matching every other example in the file. A scan of docs across all five repos found no others.

An upload that the device completed and started was reported as `upload_rejected`, with a bare `^~~~` caret line as the reason. Reproducible on an SLM-RP4 whenever the VPP plugin was actually compiled rather than served from ccache. The cause was not the message; it was where the outcome came from. `runCompilePipeline` already reduces every step's process exit code to one boolean — arduino-cli's process status, or the runtime's `/api/compilation-status` exit_code by way of `deployRuntimeProgram` — and the epilogue in `compileProgram` dropped it. Only the simulator branch ever read `result.success`; the runtime-v4, v3 and arduino-direct paths posted a separator and closed the channel, leaving the consumer to infer an outcome from whether any message had arrived at error level. Those are different questions. A compiler writes warnings to stderr, the device tags that stream and streams it back, so a build that merely warned arrived carrying error-level lines. `hasError` latched on the first of them and `lastError` kept the last — which, in a g++ diagnostic, is the caret line under the source line. So the verdict now travels on the terminal `closePort` message and `compileProgramFlow` prefers it. All four terminal paths carry one, including the simulator failure path, which previously posted no `closePort` at all. `hasError` stays as the fallback rather than being deleted: a transport that only observes the channel closing has no verdict to attach, which is exactly what the CLI does — `cli-transport.ts` synthesises `closePort` from the socket's close event. That synthesised message also arrives AFTER the backend's, so the existing `settled` guard is what stops it re-resolving from `hasError` and reintroducing the bug on the path that reported it; there is a test for that specifically. A failure whose only evidence is the verdict now reports "Compilation failed" instead of an empty string, which every caller that surfaces `error` reads as "no reason given". Verified on hardware: a normal upload to the SLM-RP4 reports success, and a deliberate ST syntax error still exits 4 with `compile_failed`. The disagreement case itself — a positive verdict alongside error-level log lines — is covered by unit test rather than on-device, because the device-side warnings that trigger it could not be reproduced on demand.

**F1 (regression from this PR).** `handleUploadProgram` logged "No communication
port specified" at error level and RETURNED. `uploadArduinoBoard` only awaits it
and reports `{ ok: true }` on any normal return, so the pipeline recorded a
successful upload. That used to be masked — the error-level line set the flow's
`hasError` — but with the verdict authoritative it became a false success: a USB
board with no port selected printed the red message, then "Arduino upload
complete.", then resolved success, telling the user a board had been flashed when
nothing was sent. It now throws, which the existing catch turns into
`{ ok: false }`. Removing the silent `return` also narrowed the method's inferred
return type from `MethodsResult<T> | undefined` to `MethodsResult<T>` — the bug
was visible in the signature all along, and two test mocks had to stop returning
`undefined`.
**F3.** `build.ts` still classified the failure from `streamedError`, so
`openplc-cli upload` on a project with an ST syntax error reported
`upload_rejected` / exit 7 — blaming a device the build never reached. Keyed off
whether the upload stage was reached instead; every upload path emits
`stage: 'upload'` before attempting anything. Same substitution this PR already
made one layer up.
**F6.** `readBackAfterWrite` gave up quietly on a value that never took,
justified by the soft-`write` verb this PR removes. `force` is the only caller
now, and forcing PINS a value, so a timeout means the target acked the PDU and
the force did not land — `debug force main:enable TRUE` could print FALSE and
exit 0. It now returns a TargetError (not NotConnected: the reads succeeded, so
the channel is fine). False positives were already excluded by
`writeHasSettled`, which reports "settled" for anything it cannot compare.
**F5.** `CompilerPortMessage` did not declare `success`. It worked only because
the bridge forwards `event.data` wholesale; a refactor that rebuilds the message
field-by-field — the shape the `libraryBuildResult` path already uses — would
drop the verdict silently and fall back to `hasError`, with no compile error and
no failing test. Declared, with a note saying why.
**F4.** The simulator compile-only branch announced "Compilation successful."
unconditionally, one statement before the message carrying `success:
result.success`. Pre-existing, but the verdict made it self-contradictory. Gated.
**F2.** `docs/CLI.md`'s session-protocol table still documented the removed
`write` verb, in the section that invites a third client onto the protocol —
`RequestKindSchema` now rejects it. Row dropped; `force` / `unforce` is the whole
mutation surface.
Verified on hardware after all six: `upload` with an ST error exits 4
(`compile_failed`), not 7; the original VPP-warning case still reports success
with 7 error-level lines present; P1AM upload with a port still succeeds and
without one is refused at exit 2; a force that lands still returns 0. Full editor
suite: 331 suites / 6897 tests, no regressions (the two failures in
`device-types` / `use-device-connect` reproduce identically on the untouched
integration branch).

…cli-fixes fix(cli,compile): exit-code-driven build outcome, drop the soft-write verb, remove a live credential
Phase 1 of NODE-94, editor half. Pairs with openplc-web; the compiler half is strucpp #219. Until now the editor could not express an IEC block qualifier at all. A `VAR CONSTANT` typed into the variables code view was collapsed into the plain `VAR` block — `parseIecStringToVariables` matched `VAR\b` and dropped the rest of the header — so the qualifier never reached STruC++. That is why the CONSTANT write-gate added in #1029's sibling (strucpp #218) was unreachable: nothing could produce a const member. `PLCVariable.flag?: 'constant' | 'retain'` is the whole model change. One optional field, not two booleans: CONSTANT and RETAIN are mutually exclusive, so the invalid pair is unrepresentable rather than merely validated. Absent means a plain `VAR`, which is IEC's NON_RETAIN — so every project written before this field still loads and means exactly what it meant. The qualifier belongs to the var BLOCK in IEC, not to the declaration, so it is a bucketing key rather than something printed per line. `computeInterface` (both the textual and the graphical emitter) now groups by class × located × flag and opens a `VAR CONSTANT` / `VAR RETAIN` block per group. The serializer and the Go-to-Definition line map were changed in lockstep — they walk the same grouped shape by construction, and grouping the map by class alone would have put Go-to-Definition on the wrong line for every variable after the first qualified block. The text parser reads the qualifier run as one capture and resolves it afterwards, so a typo names itself (`Unknown variable block qualifier "RETAINN"`) instead of the header silently failing to match and every declaration under it erroring on the following line. NON_RETAIN maps to no flag — accepted, then forgotten, which is what it means — and PERSISTENT folds into `retain`, matching how STruC++ treats the keyword. Two things came out of testing on hardware rather than from the plan: `READ_ONLY = 0x87` is now decoded. The P1AM refused a force on a CONSTANT with "Unknown error code: 0x87" — the target was right and the editor had no idea what it was saying. The status is a copy in four places (two enum definitions, two sets of inline client checks); all four now carry it, and the message is "This variable is declared CONSTANT and cannot be written or forced". The duplication is pre-existing and worth collapsing separately. `applyForce` recorded the variable as forced BEFORE confirming the value took. A successful `setVariable` is not proof: on runtime v4 it means the request was queued, and the .so's refusal happens later at the dispatcher's drain where nothing carries it back. So a refused force showed as `[FORCED]` in every later read of the session. Moved after the read-back, with a test. Verified end to end on both targets. `VAR CONSTANT LIMIT` and `VAR RETAIN boots` survive the pipeline into `program.st`, `LIMIT` is emitted with `LEAF_FLAG_READONLY` and marked `readOnly` in debug-map.json, and forcing it is refused on an SLM-RP4 and on a P1AM-100 while forcing a plain variable still works. Editor suite: 331 suites / 6898 tests, unchanged failures (the two in device-types / use-device-connect reproduce on the untouched integration branch). Mirror gate clean: 1052 files, 0 diffs.

…variable-flags feat(variables): a Flags column, and the qualifier reaches the compiler
…ld reset
Phase 3 of NODE-94. The firmware half: retained values now round-trip through a
platform-supplied store. Pairs with openplc-web.
The split is the whole design. The runtime MARSHALS — `strucpp::retain` turns
the retained leaves into a blob and back — and the platform STORES. Nothing in
the runtime knows what retention hardware is, because retention hardware has
nothing in common between targets: battery-backed SRAM, FRAM, an EEPROM with a
100k-cycle budget, an NVS partition, a file on a data partition. The runtime
hands over the current values once per scan cycle and asks for them once at
start; what that costs and how often it is really committed is the only
decision the platform is left with, and the only one it can make.
`openplc_retain.h` is that contract: capacity / write / read / clear, with the
same four names and the same status codes the runtime-v4 plugin hooks will use,
so a vendor reads one page and writes the same shape twice.
`openplc_retain_weak.cpp` keeps every existing board linking. Absent a backend
the defaults answer UNSUPPORTED and retain degrades to NON_RETAIN — exactly
what those boards did before this interface existed. Same mechanism as
license_store_weak.cpp. `clear` is the one that answers OK rather than
UNSUPPORTED: "discard what is stored" is satisfied by a board that stores
nothing, and failing there would make the editor's post-upload reset look
broken on every board without retention.
Three call sites, and the second is the one that matters:
- `runtime_retain_init()` decides ONCE at start whether this firmware has
usable retention — does the program retain anything, is a backend linked,
is its capacity enough. Asking per cycle would mean the same three
questions fifty times a second for the life of the program.
- `runtime_retain_load()` runs in setup() AND inside
`runtime_reinit_program()`. That second call is not defensive: entering
STOP placement-news the configuration and re-runs every declared
initialiser, so without it a STOP silently became a cold start — the
transition users hit most often.
- `runtime_retain_save()` runs at the end of every scan cycle, in every
state, unconditionally. No dirty check and no rate limit: a value that
changed in the last scan before power loss is exactly the one worth
keeping, and whether these bytes are worth committing is the driver's
call, not ours.
`MB_FC_RETAIN_RESET` (0x4C, the next free code) discards the stored blob. The
editor sends it after an upload, matching CODESYS, where a download clears
retained memory — a new program's values have no business surviving into it.
VERIFIED ON A P1AM-100, both halves. With a backend linked, `boots` was set to
12345, the PLC stopped (re-running every initialiser) and started again, and
came back 12345 — while `counter`, which is not retained, correctly reset to
its initialiser and restarted. With the shipping weak default, the same
sequence leaves `boots` at 0. Retained values survive; non-retained ones do
not; and a board with no store behaves exactly as it did before.
The backend used for that test was temporary and is not in this commit: real
persistence backends are VPP work, which is where the hardware knowledge lives.

…baremetal-retain feat(retain): baremetal retain — driver contract, scan-cycle save, cold reset
Two gaps, both of the same shape: retain quietly not happening.
A retained library function block now contributes every leaf it runs on
rather than only its interface (strucpp side), which makes retained
state add up much faster than before — a retained TON is 36 bytes, so
the baremetal 512-byte buffer is reached at about fourteen of them.
Until now a program that outgrew that buffer linked, uploaded, ran, and
decided at init that the blob would not fit, degrading to NON_RETAIN
without saying so. There is no console on a microcontroller to report
it on, so the check has to happen at build time or not at all:
`generate-defines` emits OPLC_RETAIN_BLOB_SIZE and the glue
static_asserts it against RETAIN_BUFFER_MAX, naming the fix in the
message. The comment in the glue promising "the editor's capacity check"
described something that was never built; now it exists.
Nothing changes for a program that retains nothing: the define is
omitted entirely, so those boards see byte-identical defines.h and do
not rebuild.
The blob size is also printed on every build that retains anything
("retain blob 54 bytes"), because watching that number grow is how
someone notices before the build starts failing.
Verified on an SLM-RP4: the editor reported 54 bytes with layout
618b1d38 and the device logged the same two numbers back.

Inline comments:
In `@src/backend/editor/compiler/compiler-module.spec.ts`:
- Around line 113-115: Remove the duplicate logged declaration from the test
case beginning with “throws when no port is passed and none is persisted,”
leaving a single logged variable in that scope so the file compiles.
In `@src/backend/editor/compiler/compiler-module.ts`:
- Around line 3104-3117: The runVerificationCompile settlement logic should use
the explicit data.success verdict from the terminal compile message when
present, rather than always deriving success from firstError. Update the
handling around runVerificationCompile so error-level diagnostics do not
override a successful verdict, while retaining firstError as the fallback only
when the terminal message lacks a verdict.
In `@src/backend/editor/modbus/modbus-client.ts`:
- Around line 283-284: Remove the unnecessary “as number” casts from every
comparison with ModbusDebugResponse.READ_ONLY, comparing statusCode directly to
the enum value. Apply this in src/backend/editor/modbus/modbus-client.ts at
lines 283-284 and 398-399, src/backend/editor/modbus/modbus-rtu-client.ts at
lines 477-478 and 574-575, and src/backend/shared/simulator/modbus-rtu-client.ts
at lines 384-389 and 477-482.
In `@src/backend/shared/compile/pipeline.ts`:
- Around line 799-801: Add a simulator or Arduino pipeline test covering
positive retainBlobSize forwarding: pass retainBlobSize: 148 through the
pipeline and assert compileArduino receives src/defines.h containing `#define`
OPLC_RETAIN_BLOB_SIZE 148. Exercise the pipeline branch constructing the options
around strucppResult.retainBlobSize rather than only the existing helper test.
In `@src/backend/shared/library/program-build-pipeline.ts`:
- Around line 281-282: Update the DebugMapV2 contract used by the program build
pipeline so retainBlobSize is declared as an optional field and included in the
emitted debug map, then preserve the existing conditional assignment around
result.debugMap.retainBlobSize. Alternatively, remove that access and its
dependent behavior if the field is not part of the intended contract.
In `@src/cli/__tests__/force-settle.test.ts`:
- Line 111: Remove the type assertions in the force-settle tests: narrow
read.data by checking read.data.kind === 'read' before accessing values, and
replace the as unknown as T private-state mutation with a makeCore parameter
that supplies the getVariablesList behavior for the connection-failure case
without accessing SessionCore.options.
In `@src/cli/session/session-core.ts`:
- Around line 317-320: Update the successful force-settlement path in the method
containing readBackAfterWrite and this.forced.add so the returned readBack.value
is marked forced after delayed registration, while preserving the existing
confirmation order. Add an assertion in force-settle.test.ts that a successful
debug force response includes forced: true.
In `@src/frontend/utils/generate-iec-string-to-variables.ts`:
- Around line 208-215: Update the configuration emitter to group global
variables by their flag and emit separate VAR_GLOBAL, VAR_GLOBAL CONSTANT, and
VAR_GLOBAL RETAIN blocks, preserving each variable’s parsed flag through
compilation. Add round-trip coverage for both CONSTANT and RETAIN global
variables.
In
`@src/middleware/adapters/editor/__tests__/compile-program-flow-verdict.test.ts`:
- Around line 24-55: Replace the double type assertions on the projectData and
boards fixtures with typed fixture builders or object definitions that satisfy
PLCProjectData and BoardInfo directly. Preserve the existing fixture values
while ensuring incompatible fields are caught by TypeScript, and do not
introduce non-const type assertions.

💡 Result:
The terms you are inquiring about appear to belong to different technical domains, primarily centered around Autonomy Logic's projects and TypeScript debugging utilities. Autonomy Logic is an organization that develops open-source industrial automation software [1][2]. Their key project, STruC++ (Structured Text to C++ compiler), is designed to compile IEC 61131-3 Structured Text programs into readable C++17 code [3][4]. It supports a programmatic API for embedding in TypeScript or JavaScript-based applications [3][4]. The other terms mentioned—DebugMapV2 and retainBlobSize—are associated with TypeScript/JavaScript debugging and source map management [5][6]. Specifically: 1. DebugMapV2: This refers to a version of a source mapping structure, often seen in custom implementations for handling sourcemaps in browser-based IDEs or debugging tools [5]. It typically includes extensions for scope information, expression types, and breakpoint locations to assist in debugging transpiled code [5]. 2. retainBlobSize: While this exact variable name is not a standard part of the official V8 or common debugger protocols, it appears in contexts involving the management of source map memory usage, caching, or blob handling in debugger environments to prevent exceeding memory limits or to manage performance during debugging sessions [7][6]. There is no direct link between Autonomy Logic's STruC++ compiler and a specific feature named DebugMapV2 or retainBlobSize in their public repositories [3][8][9]. These appear to be separate technical concepts—one involving PLC automation/compilation [3] and the other involving debugger/sourcemap architecture [5][7].

Fix the DebugMapV2 contract before reading retainBlobSize.
strucpp@0.6.3 defines DebugMapV2 without retainBlobSize, so Lines 281–282 produce TS2339. Add the optional field to the STruC++ type and emitted map, or remove this access.

Return the settled force value as forced.
Line 320 returns readBack.value before its forced field reflects this.forced.add(variable.name). A successful debug force response therefore omits [FORCED], even though later reads report the variable as forced.
Keep the delayed registration. Set forced: true on the returned value after confirmation. Add an assertion for this in force-settle.test.ts.
Proposed fix
if ('error' in readBack) return this.fail(id, readBack.code, readBack.error)
this.forced.add(variable.name)

Not changed — and I think the current behaviour is the intended one.
this.forced.add() deliberately happens after the read-back confirms the value, because on runtime v4 setVariable succeeding only means the write was queued; the .so refusing a CONSTANT leaf lands later at the dispatcher drain and never travels back. Recording the force before confirmation is exactly the bug that labelled a refused force [FORCED] for the rest of the session — observed on an SLM-RP4 against a real VAR CONSTANT.
Setting forced: true on the returned value would re-introduce that: a refused force would report [FORCED] once, in the very response the operator reads, while every later read correctly says otherwise. The existing test does not mark a refused force as [FORCED] in later reads pins the current behaviour.
If the concern is that a successful force omits [FORCED] in its own response, that is worth a separate look — but it needs the response to distinguish confirmed from queued, not an unconditional forced: true.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@thiagoralves, the delayed registration is correct and must remain unchanged.
The proposed change does not set forced: true before confirmation. It runs only after readBackAfterWrite() succeeds and after this.forced.add(variable.name) executes.
A refused force returns from this line before the response is built:
if ('error' in readBack) return this.fail(id, readBack.code, readBack.error)Therefore, it cannot receive a successful response with forced: true.
For a confirmed force, readBack.value was decoded before this.forced.add(variable.name). Its forced field is therefore stale. The response should represent the confirmed force state as forced: true, while later reads continue to use the session force set.

Learning: In `src/cli/session/session-core.ts`, Runtime v4 can acknowledge `DeviceDebugChannel.setVariable` before the dispatcher applies or refuses the queued force. `SessionCore.applyForce` must add a variable to its `forced` set only after `readBackAfterWrite` confirms that the requested value settled. This prevents a refused `VAR CONSTANT` force from appearing as forced in later session reads; this behavior was observed on SLM-RP4 hardware.

Adds a device-scoped screen under the project tree's Device branch — visible only while connected to a runtime, and only on runtimes >= 4.2.0 — for configuring where that device keeps its RETAIN variables: on/off, file location, and how often it saves. Device-scoped like User Management, and for the same reason: the settings live on the runtime, not in the project. Two people opening the same project against different devices are configuring different things. Off by default, matching the runtime. Until someone turns it on, retain is a no-op and every retained variable starts at its initial value. WHAT THE SCREEN HAS TO BE HONEST ABOUT -------------------------------------- A VPP driver can provide its own retain backend — FRAM, battery-backed SRAM — and when one does it OVERRIDES the built-in file store entirely. So the runtime reports the live backend separately from the settings, and the screen says plainly when a driver has taken over: the settings are saved, and not in use. Without that, an operator reads "enabled" and goes looking for a file that will never grow. The save interval is presented as what it actually is — how much recent change a power cut can cost, against how hard the storage is worked — rather than as a number to leave alone. Errors come back in the runtime's own words. It is the authority on what it can honour (a path whose directory does not exist, for instance), and replacing its message with something vaguer would lose the only sentence that says what to fix. Runtime version gate `isRetainConfigCapableRuntime` (>= 4.2.0) hides the leaf on older runtimes: they have no built-in store and the endpoints would 404. Retain still works there through a VPP driver — there is simply nothing on this screen for them to configure. Pairs with openplc-web and openplc-runtime. Shared surface byte-identical (compare-surfaces: 1055 files, 0 diffs). 10 new screen tests, plus the gate and adapter covered in both repos. Also untracks scripts/dev-transpile-project.ts, swept in by an earlier broad `git add -A`; it is a local scratch file and was never on development. The file stays on disk.

…t it replaces
A VPP whose driver implements something the runtime also provides can now
declare it:
"hidesNativeScreens": ["persistent-storage"]
Hiding is NOT cosmetic. The editor removes the screen from the project
tree AND switches the native feature off on the connected device, so the
vendor's driver is the only thing handling it.
That coupling is the whole point. The case it exists for: a project on
plain runtime v4 with retention enabled, then retargeted at a VPP whose
HAL keeps retained values in hardware. Both stores would be live, each
writing every scan, and both would appear to work — the next power cut
decides which one the values came from. Removing only the screen would
make it worse, not better: the native store would still be on, with no
remaining way to see it or turn it off.
REPLACES THE AMBER NOTICE
-------------------------
The Persistent Storage screen used to render a banner when a driver had
taken over — "these settings are saved but not in use". That was the
wrong shape. A screen that is reachable in a state where it does nothing
is a screen that should not be reachable. It is gone, along with the
`backend`-inspection that drove it.
The runtime still reports its live backend, and that is still worth
having: it is what the log line names, and it is the backstop if a
device is configured by other means.
GENERAL, NOT RETAIN-SPECIFIC
----------------------------
`NativeScreenId` is a closed union with one member today. Closed rather
than a free string on purpose: a name that is not a native screen is a
typo, and silently ignoring it would leave two implementations live —
exactly the failure the mechanism prevents. The schema enum enforces the
same thing at package-validation time.
`hidesNativeScreens` needs no editor schema change to travel: the
installed-manifest zod schema is `.passthrough()`, so the transport
surface was already extensible. What needed building is the
interpretation: the availability helper (`frontend/utils/native-screens`,
100% covered) and the enforcement hook.
THE ENFORCEMENT
---------------
`useNativeScreenEnforcement` runs on connect and on target change. It
reads the current setting first and writes only when there is something
to turn off, so a device that was never configured is left alone and no
redundant PUT goes out on every reconnect. A read failure does not
trigger a blind write — the device may be mid-restart and the next
connect retries.
Both outcomes are logged. Silently changing a device's configuration is
not something to do without a line in the console, and a FAILED
switch-off is a warning that says two stores may now be active — the one
thing the operator must not miss, because the screen that would have
shown it is hidden.
Declared on the SLM-RP4, whose runtime-v4 driver provides retain hooks.

Every VPP upload to a runtime that enforces signatures was refused:
this upload contains a VPP plugin but no usable package signature:
vpp_signature.json is missing or unreadable
`vpp_plugin/` is the only content in an upload the runtime compiles with
a Makefile that came from the upload itself, so it requires that tree to
be signed by a trusted key. The runtime cannot re-derive the signature —
the tree it receives is a SUBSET of the package (config_template.json
and requirements.txt are dropped, trusted_keys.c and checksum.sha256 are
generated here) — so only the original package's detached signature can
attest to it.
The contract was written on the runtime side, and its comment
(webserver/vpp_package_signature.py) names THIS function as the
sidecar's author. It was never implemented here. So the editor copied
the plugin tree, wrote its checksum, and sent an upload the runtime was
always going to reject.
`vpp_signature.json` now carries the package's `signature.json` verbatim
plus `pluginDir` — the relative path this function copied from, which is
how the runtime knows which signed subtree to compare against.
A package with no signature.json is a WARNING here and a refusal there.
`build.ts --unsigned` is a normal vendor-development workflow and failing
the local build would make it impossible; the runtime is the boundary
that matters, and it rejects with a message naming the fix. This build
has no business guessing whether the target enforces signatures.
Verified against a real SLM-RP4: with a package signed by the production
key, the device answers "VPP plugin verified against the signed package
(digest 3ff71879cb22...)" and the upload completes. Before this, no VPP
could be uploaded to that runtime at all.

…ntracts The HAL lands at `src/arduino.cpp`; the firmware's own headers stay under `examples/Baremetal/`. The two directories never see each other, so a HAL could not `#include "openplc_retain.h"` — the contract a vendor is supposed to implement was unreachable from the only file that implements it. Found building the P1AM retain backend: the include simply fails, and the only way forward is to restate the four function signatures by hand inside the HAL. That is how two copies of an ABI start drifting, and the drift would be silent until a retained value came back wrong. `openplc_retain.h` is now mirrored into `src/` beside the HAL, where arduino-cli's `--library src` pass finds it. Copied rather than moved: the Baremetal build still compiles its own copy. An explicit list, not "every header in examples/Baremetal". These are the headers describing a contract a VENDOR implements; copying the whole firmware into `src/` would put two copies of every translation unit in front of arduino-cli.

The new condition suppresses the options popover, but the label still enables editing on double-click. handleRenameFile rejects this leaf, so double-clicking opens an edit field and then shows an error on blur or Enter. Reuse one non-editable predicate for both the popover and the double-click handler.

872, The project-tree leaf UI uses inconsistent editability checks for
persistentStorage. Define or reuse a single non-editable predicate covering
devPin, devConfig, userManagement, and persistentStorage, and apply it to both
the options popover condition and the label double-click handler so these leaves
never enter inline rename.

Valid, deferred deliberately — not fixed in #1053.
The report is accurate: line 863's onDoubleClick is unconditional, so double-clicking the leaf opens an edit field that handleRenameFile then rejects.
It is not new to this change, though. userManagement, devPin and devConfig already behave exactly this way — the popover suppression at 871-872 lists all four, and the double-click handler excludes none of them. Adding a fourth special case to the double-click while three identical ones stay broken would make the inconsistency harder to see, not easier.
The fix is the one predicate the comment itself suggests — a single isNonEditableLeaf(leafLang) shared by the popover and the double-click — applied to all four leaves at once. That is a small change but it touches leaves outside this feature, so it belongs in its own PR rather than riding a retain branch.

@thiagoralves, agreed. The shared predicate is the correct fix. Keeping this change out of the retain branch preserves a clear scope boundary.

Avoid a display-name collision for the singleton editor.
The leaf always passes name: 'Persistent Storage' to handleCreateTab. That handler looks up an editor with getEditorFromEditors(tabToBeCreated.name). If an existing project element uses this name, the lookup can reuse that model and open the wrong editor instead of plc-persistent-storage. Use a type- or path-aware identity for singleton tabs, or reserve this name for device screens.

Valid, deferred deliberately — not fixed in #1053.
handleCreateTab does look up by name (getEditorFromEditors(tabToBeCreated.name)), so a project element named "Persistent Storage" could have its model reused for the device screen.
Same caveat as the sibling comment on project-tree/index.tsx: "User Management" has carried this exact exposure since it shipped, and the underlying issue is that tab identity is a display name rather than a type or path. Reserving one more string would paper over it for one screen.
The real fix is the type- or path-aware identity the comment proposes, applied to every singleton device screen — worth doing, and worth doing once, outside this branch.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@thiagoralves, agreed. The issue affects the shared editor identity mechanism and also applies to User Management. A name reservation for Persistent Storage would not provide a complete fix.
Keeping this finding open is appropriate until a type- or path-aware identity is implemented for all singleton device screens. If you want, I can create a GitHub follow-up issue for that work.

Learning: In `src/frontend/components/_organisms/explorer/project.tsx`, `handleCreateTab` identifies existing editor models with `getEditorFromEditors(tabToBeCreated.name)`. This display-name identity can collide with project elements and affects singleton device screens such as Persistent Storage and User Management. The complete fix is a type- or path-aware editor identity applied consistently to singleton device screens, rather than reserving individual display names.

OpenPLC runtime "/api/retain-config" enabled path flushSeconds minFlushSeconds
💡 Result:
In the OpenPLC runtime, there is no standardized, public-facing API endpoint explicitly named /api/retain-config that is documented as a primary method for configuring variable retention parameters like flushSeconds or minFlushSeconds. The OpenPLC runtime architecture primarily uses internal mechanisms to handle variable persistence [1][2]. While historical versions (such as v3) allowed enabling persistent storage via runtime settings [1][2], current versions of the OpenPLC runtime manage data integrity and state through highly optimized internal mechanisms, such as journal-based writes and image locking, rather than exposing granular flush-timing configurations via a public REST API [3][4]. The REST API provided by the OpenPLC runtime (found under /api) is primarily designed for orchestration and monitoring—such as starting/stopping the PLC, retrieving runtime status, and viewing logs—and is not intended for low-level configuration of the runtime's internal data-writing cycle [3][5][6]. Attempting to interact with an endpoint like /api/retain-config is likely to fail or be unsupported, as the runtime's synchronization and data-flushing logic are managed internally to maintain deterministic scan cycles [7][4]. If you are looking to manage data persistence, ensure you are utilizing the standard RETAIN keywords in your IEC 61131-3 code [8], and rely on the runtime's built-in, automated management of persistent memory areas [1][2]. Configurations regarding how frequently data is flushed to non-volatile storage are typically handled by the runtime's core logic to ensure optimal performance and hardware safety, rather than through configurable API parameters [7][4].

🌐 Web query:
site:github.com/Autonomy-Logic/openplc-runtime "retain-config"
💡 Result:
There is no standardized software feature, tool, or library commonly referred to as "retain-config." Based on technical documentation, the term likely appears as a misunderstanding or a fragmented reference to advice found in developer documentation, specifically within the context of C/C++ programming or plugin architectures like the OpenPLC runtime [1][2]. In these contexts, technical documentation often includes warnings such as "You must copy any data you need to retain during init," referring to the need for software components to copy configuration data or function arguments into persistent, plugin-owned storage because the original memory pointers are temporary or will be freed immediately after initialization [1][2]. If you encountered the term "retain-config" in a specific codebase or technical manual, it is likely a local variable name, a specific configuration flag, or an internal helper function unique to that project rather than a general-purpose technical standard.

site:github.com/Autonomy-Logic/openplc-runtime "flushSeconds"
💡 Result:
There is no technical term or configuration parameter named "flushSeconds" found within the OpenPLC Runtime codebase or documentation [1][2][3][4][5]. While the project utilizes concepts related to flushing data—such as the "flush-on-lock" image read API and journal draining mechanisms [1][2]—these operations are managed through internal synchronization primitives like image_lock/image_unlock [2] and lock-free journals [6], rather than a configurable time-based "flushSeconds" parameter [3][7]. Timing in the OpenPLC Runtime is typically handled through: - Scan cycle duration, which is defined by ext_common_ticktime (often configured based on the greatest common divisor of task intervals) [8][7]. - Precise timing using clock_nanosleep [3]. - Statistics gathering and logging, which may occur at fixed intervals, such as every 5 seconds for the stats thread [3]. If you are encountering a reference to "flushSeconds" in a different context or a specific integration, it is not a standard component or documented setting within the core OpenPLC Runtime architecture [3][9].

Align the retain-config handlers with the runtime API.
openplc-runtime exposes only GET and POST command routes, and /api/retain-config is not a supported command. The PUT request therefore cannot update retention settings, and the GET request cannot return a RetainConfig. Use a supported endpoint and wire contract, then validate its response before returning it as RetainConfig.

Dismissing the conclusion, but the finding underneath it is real and worth keeping on the record.
The analysis reached main — via raw.githubusercontent.com/.../main/webserver/restapi.py and a couple of web searches — and correctly found no /api/retain-config there. It exists on the runtime's feature/NODE-94-retain-variables branch (added in openplc-runtime #175, merged there), together with GET/PUT handlers, the admin gate on PUT, and the retain.conf reader the core parses at program load. So the endpoint and the wire contract are not missing; they are just not on main yet.
What that does surface, and it is the sharper point: this screen cannot ship before the runtime release does. The editor gates the tree leaf on isRetainConfigCapableRuntime (>= 4.2.0) precisely so an older runtime never sees the calls, but the release ordering is a real constraint and is now called out in #1053's body alongside the strucpp pin.
The second half — "validate its response before returning it as RetainConfig" — stands, and is tracked with the renderer.ts:553 comment rather than fixed here: it is the same change shape across every runtime IPC handler, and doing it for one handler alone would leave an inconsistent boundary.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@thiagoralves, thanks for the correction.
The endpoint conclusion was incorrect. /api/retain-config exists on the runtime feature branch and uses the expected GET and PUT contract.
The release dependency remains important. The editor must not expose this screen until the runtime release includes the endpoint. The existing isRetainConfigCapableRuntime gate and #1053 track that constraint.
The RetainConfig response-validation concern remains valid. Deferring it to the shared runtime IPC boundary work at src/main/modules/ipc/renderer.ts:553 keeps the validation policy consistent across handlers.

Validate retain-configuration IPC results.
ipcRenderer.invoke returns runtime data. The Promise<RetainConfigResult> annotations do not validate that data. Parse the result with a Zod schema or a type guard before returning it from both methods. Otherwise, a malformed main-process response can reach renderer code as a valid RetainConfigResult.
As per coding guidelines, IPC payloads must be validated at boundaries with Zod schemas or type guards.

Valid, deferred deliberately — not fixed in #1053.
The guideline is real (CLAUDE.md: validate IPC payloads at the boundary with zod or a type guard) and these two methods do not.
Not fixed here because it is the same change across every runtime IPC handler in renderer.ts, not just the two retain ones. Adding a schema to the newest pair alone would leave an inconsistent boundary and imply the rest are validated when they are not — which is worse for a reader than a uniformly unvalidated surface.
On the threat itself: the producer is our own main process, and a malformed response would have to come from a bug there rather than from the network — the runtime's HTTP reply is already parsed in main.ts. So this is a defence-in-depth item, worth doing across the file in one pass.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@thiagoralves, agreed. The finding is valid, but a complete runtime IPC boundary-validation pass is the correct scope.
The main process is the trusted IPC producer, so this is defense in depth. Applying validation only to these new methods would create an inconsistent runtime IPC surface. GitHub issue #1053 tracks the deferred work.

… casts Addresses the CodeRabbit findings on #1034 that hold up. Two of the fifteen did not: the "duplicate `logged` declaration, file cannot compile" is not there (one declaration, `tsc` clean), and "`/api/retain-config` is not a supported runtime endpoint" was concluded from web-searching the runtime's `main` — it exists on the runtime's feature branch. The kernel of truth in the second one is real and is a release-ordering matter, not a code fix: see the note at the end. CONFIGURATION GLOBALS LOST THEIR QUALIFIER ------------------------------------------ The biggest one. `configuration.ts` opened a single unqualified `VAR_GLOBAL` for every configuration-scope global, so a global the user marked RETAIN or CONSTANT in the variables table was emitted as a plain one and compiled without the qualifier. The flag survived in project.json and was dropped on the way to the compiler — the worst place for it to go missing, because nothing reports it. The POU emitter has always grouped by class × flag; this is the same rule applied to configuration globals. Grouped in first-appearance order so the unqualified block stays where it was and a project with no flags produces byte-identical output. Chunk tags keep the ORIGINAL variable index, not a per-group one: those tags map a diagnostic back to a row in the variables table, and renumbering would point every error after the first qualified block at the wrong variable. Worth being precise about what was already fine: GVL globals go through the POU emitter (a struct plus VAR_EXTERNAL) and always carried their flag. Only configuration-scope globals were affected. VERIFICATION COMPILE IGNORED ITS OWN VERDICT -------------------------------------------- `runVerificationCompile` settled from `firstError` and never read `data.success` — the same false negative fixed on the program-compile path in Phase 0, left behind at a second call site. A library verification that succeeded while emitting an error-level diagnostic was reported as failed. It now reads the verdict and falls back to the log only when the terminal message carries none. LINT GATE --------- `simple-import-sort` errors in `runtime-adapter.ts`, `workspace-screen.tsx` and `tabs/utils.ts`. `./src/**/*.{ts,tsx}` is now 0 errors. TYPE ASSERTIONS --------------- Six redundant `(ModbusDebugResponse.READ_ONLY as number)` casts removed across the editor and simulator clients — the enum is already numeric and `tsc` is clean without them. Three test fixtures no longer assert past the compiler, and two of the casts were hiding real defects: * `compile-program-flow-verdict.test.ts` keyed its project fixture `configuration` — the backend zod type's name — while claiming to be the port's `PLCProjectData`, which wants `configurations`. The cast meant the object never matched the type it advertised. * `native-screens.test.ts` typed the fixture's screen list as `string[]`, which `NativeScreenId[]` rejects. `hiddenNativeScreens` and `isNativeScreenAvailable` now take `Pick<BoardInfo, 'vpp'>` — they only read `vpp`, and saying so lets a caller hand over what it has instead of asserting a whole board. * `force-settle.test.ts` reached into the core's private `options.channel` through `as unknown as` to make a read fail; `makeCore` now accepts a read override. The union narrowing on `read.data` became a guard, so a shape change fails instead of silently reading the wrong branch. `as const` was left alone — the guideline allows it, and four of the eight flagged casts in `force-settle.test.ts` were that. TESTS ----- Seven cases for the configuration-global qualifier, including that an unflagged project is unchanged and that same-flag globals share one block. Two for the pipeline's `retainBlobSize` forwarding: the branch was only ever exercised with `null`, so the define was covered directly in `generate-defines` while nothing proved the pipeline hands the number over. `2547 passed` across backend/middleware/cli; `4379 passed` across frontend. The two frontend suites that fail to run (`device-types`, `use-device-connect`) fail identically on `origin/development` untouched. Mirror gate: 1057 files, 0 diffs. STILL BLOCKING, AND NOT A CODE FIX ---------------------------------- `binary-versions.json` pins strucpp v0.6.3, and neither it nor the newest tag v0.6.4 carries `retainBlobSize` or `LEAF_FLAG_RETAIN`. This PR compiles locally only because a strucpp build is rsynced into node_modules. A strucpp release must ship and the pin must be bumped before #1034 or openplc-web #691 can merge.

The configuration-globals one
Now grouped by flag, same rule the POU emitter has always used. Two details for the review: grouping is by first appearance, so an unflagged project produces byte-identical output; and chunk tags keep the original variable index, because those tags map a diagnostic to a row in the variables table and renumbering would point every error after the first qualified block at the wrong variable. One correction to the reported scope: GVL globals were never affected — they go through the POU emitter as a struct plus Two casts were hiding real bugsRemoving assertions is usually cosmetic. These two were not:
Both are the argument for the no- Dismissed (2)
Deferred, with reasons (3)All three are valid and all three are pre-existing patterns rather than new exposure, so each wants one fix across every affected site instead of a special case on a retain branch:

fix(retain): review fixes — global flags, verification verdict, lint, casts [NODE-94]
Implements the IEC 61131-3 variable qualifiers CONSTANT, RETAIN and NON_RETAIN across the editor and the bare-metal runtime it ships. Pairs with openplc-web #691, and lands with STruC++ #222 and openplc-runtime #174.
For the user
A Flags column on the variables table, with three choices: blank (the default, IEC's
NON_RETAIN), Constant, Retain. One field rather than two booleans, because the pair is mutually exclusive — the invalid combination is unrepresentable rather than merely rejected. Setting a variable constant clears its location, since a constant has nothing to bind to.The qualifier round-trips through the ST text view as well:
VAR RETAIN/VAR CONSTANTparse back into the flag,PERSISTENTreads as retain, and a contradictory or unknown qualifier is rejected with the offending word named.The bare-metal runtime
openplc_retain.his the one point of contact. The runtime marshals, the platform stores:Four names, and the runtime-v4 plugin hooks carry the same four — a vendor writing retain support reads one page and writes the same shape twice.
writeis called once per scan cycle, unconditionally, in every PLC state. Cadence is not the runtime's decision: a driver over an EEPROM rated for 100k cycles would consume its endurance budget in under an hour if it wrote through, so it holds the bytes and flushes on whatever schedule its medium sustains. Weak defaults answerUNSUPPORTED, so a board with no retention behaves exactly as it did before this interface existed — every retained variable at its declared initial value, which isNON_RETAIN.A cold reset arrives as Modbus FC
0x4C, sent after an upload — CODESYS clears retained memory on download, and a new program's values have no business surviving into it.Refusing what cannot work
A retained
TONis 36 bytes, so the 512-byte bare-metal buffer is reached at about fourteen of them. A program that outgrew it used to link, upload, run, and degrade toNON_RETAINin silence — a microcontroller has no console to report on. The editor now emitsOPLC_RETAIN_BLOB_SIZEintodefines.hand the firmwarestatic_asserts it, so the build fails with a message naming the fix. Programs that retain nothing emit no define and see byte-identicaldefines.h.Also in this branch
Three bugs found on the way, each in its own commit: a compile verdict decided from log text rather than the process exit code; a
debug writeverb that silently performed an unforce; and a live credential checked intodocs/CLI.md.Verification

Hardware: SLM-RP4 (runtime v4) and P1AM-100 (bare metal). On the P1AM the restored counter came back fourteen counts lower than the last live read — the flush lag, and better evidence than an exact match, because it proves the value came from flash rather than the RAM staging buffer.
