What was broken

Saving a Logitech profile to the mouse sometimes failed with:

The profile failed its checksum; refusing to write.

Root cause

HID++ replies are matched on feature index + function id only. There is no request id, so if two memoryRead calls are in flight against the same feature, a reply can be delivered to the wrong caller.

What happened:

1. Profiles weren't loaded yet (onboardProfiles is null), so every status poll in applyStatus fired an untracked void reloadOnboardProfiles(). Fire and forget: nobody held a reference or a flag for it.
2. A flash could start while that reload was still reading. flashPendingChanges only waited on refreshInProgress, which doesn't cover the reload, so it saw "nothing in progress" and went ahead.
3. Two reads were now pulling sectors from the onboard-profiles feature at once and their replies crossed. openActiveProfile received a sector that belonged to the other read, the CRC check failed, and the write was aborted.
4. A failed reload clears onboardProfiles again, so the next poll started another reload. That feedback loop is why it kept happening once it started, and why it looked intermittent until it wasn't.

What users actually saw (HITS mice)

writeStagedAnalogButtons writes the live values first, so the buttons felt like they had changed. Then persistAnalogButtonTuning failed. The profile kept its old tuning, and the mouse reverted on the next power cycle or wake.

The fix

One rule: never read profiles and flash at the same time.

• Flash now waits for the reload too. flashPendingChanges waits on onboardProfilesLoading in addition to refreshInProgress, so an in-flight load finishes before the write starts.
• No automatic reload during a write. applyStatus no longer starts reloadOnboardProfiles while settingInProgress is set. The write path rereads profiles itself, so the reload is redundant there anyway.
• Manual refresh is write-safe. New rereadOnboardProfiles() returns immediately if a write is in progress. The Profiles refresh button now calls it instead of reloadOnboardProfiles directly.
• Longer wait. REFRESH_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS goes from 2 s to 5 s, because a full profile reread over wireless can exceed 2 s. If it still times out, the flash fails through the existing error path.

Nothing is removed, and there are no UI or string changes.

Behavior changes worth knowing about: a flash can now block for up to 5 s before timing out, and clicking refresh during a write silently does nothing.

Testing

• npm run build, npm test (400 pass), and npm run size (JS 2,785,453 / 2,800,000 bytes) all pass.
• On hardware: a HITS mouse in onboard mode flashes with no checksum error, and the tuning survives a power cycle.

Note

Fix Logitech onboard-profile reads racing device writes in controller

• Background onboard-profile reads now defer during a device write instead of running at the same time. applyStatusInner records a deferred reload, and endDeviceWrite retries it after the write finishes, when profiles are still unavailable.
• flashPendingChanges now waits for both general device refreshes and onboard-profile reads to finish before writing.
• Increases REFRESH_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS from 2 to 5 seconds to cover longer wireless onboard-profile reads.
• The onboard-profile refresh button in Profiles.tsx now calls the guarded rereadOnboardProfiles wrapper, which does nothing during a write.
• Behavioral Change: flashes now fail after 5 seconds instead of 2 when a device read stays active; the refresh button can silently do nothing during a write.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Profile refresh now waits for onboard profile data to finish loading before applying pending changes, reducing the chance of writing with stale profile information.
  • If a profile refresh is still in progress after the wait period, the operation now reports a timeout instead of proceeding.
  • Refresh requests made during a write are deferred until the write finishes, then retried when needed.

📝 Walkthrough

The controller now waits for device refreshes and onboard-profile reads before writing. It defers profile reloads during writes and retries deferred reloads after writes end. The Profiles refresh control now calls rereadOnboardProfiles(). The refresh wait timeout is 5 seconds.

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — src (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in src/features/profiles/Profiles.tsx: The refresh button’s handler changed from invoking the asynchronous reloadOnboardProfiles() flow to directly invoking rereadOnboardProfiles().
• observed — Modified behavior in src/device/controller.ts: The refresh-wait timeout remains 5,000 ms, but its comment now describes waiting for an in-flight device read, including a potentially multi-second onboard-profile reread over wireless, rather than a generic device refresh.
• observed — Modified behavior in src/device/controller.ts: Adds onboardReloadDeferred to track a profile reload skipped because a status was applied during a write.
• observed — Modified behavior in src/device/controller.ts: flashPendingChanges now treats either a device refresh or an onboard-profile read as active work and waits for both to finish before writing. If either remains active after the timeout, the existing timeout failure path is taken; previously, only device refreshes were checked.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at d583375

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This narrowly scopes Logitech onboard-profile reads so they cannot overlap staged profile writes, while deferring or rejecting refreshes during writes and allowing longer wireless reads to finish. The UI change only routes the refresh button through that guard, keeping the fix localized.
