# Claude Code slash commands for the mcp-server test suite
Three AI-assisted workflows wrapping `mcp-server/run-tests.sh` and the meshtastic MCP tools. Each one has a twin in `.github/prompts/` for Copilot users.
| Slash command | What it does | Copilot equivalent |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `/test [args]` | Runs the test suite (auto-detects hardware) and interprets failures | `.github/prompts/mcp-test.prompt.md` |
| `/diagnose [role]` | Read-only device health report via the meshtastic MCP tools | `.github/prompts/mcp-diagnose.prompt.md` |
| `/repro <test> [n=5]` | Re-runs one test N times, diffs firmware logs between passes and failures | `.github/prompts/mcp-repro.prompt.md` |
## Why two surfaces
The Claude Code commands and Copilot prompts cover the same three workflows but each speaks its host's idiom:
- **Claude Code** (`/test`) uses `$ARGUMENTS` for pass-through, has direct access to Bash + all MCP tools registered in the user's settings, and runs in the terminal context.
- **Copilot** (`/mcp-test`) runs in VS Code's agent mode; it has terminal + MCP access too but typically asks the operator to confirm inputs interactively.
A contributor using either IDE gets equivalent assistance. Keep the two in sync when behavior changes — the diff of intent should be minimal.
## House rules
- **No destructive writes without explicit operator approval.** Skills that could reflash, factory-reset, or reboot a device must describe the action and stop — the operator authorizes.
- **Interpret failures, don't just echo them.** The skill body should pull firmware log lines from `mcp-server/tests/report.html` (the `Meshtastic debug` section, attached by `tests/conftest.py::pytest_runtest_makereport`) and classify the failure.
- **Keep MCP tool calls sequential per port.** SerialInterface holds an exclusive port lock; two parallel tool calls on the same port deadlock.
- **Never speculate about root cause.** If the evidence doesn't support a classification, say "unknown" and list what you'd need to disambiguate.
## Adding a new command
1. Write the Claude Code version at `.claude/commands/<name>.md` with YAML frontmatter:
```yaml
---
description: one-line purpose (used for auto-invocation by the model)
argument-hint: [optional-hint]
---
```
2. Write the Copilot equivalent at `.github/prompts/mcp-<name>.prompt.md` with:
```yaml
---
mode: agent
description: ...
---
```
3. Add the row to the table above. Cross-link in both bodies.
4. Smoke-test on Claude Code first (`/<name>` should appear in autocomplete), then in VS Code Copilot (`/mcp-<name>` in Chat).

description: Produce a device health report using the meshtastic MCP tools (device_info, list_nodes, get_config, short serial log capture)
argument-hint: [role=all|nrf52|esp32s3|<port>]
---
# `/diagnose` — device health report
Call the meshtastic MCP tool bundle and format a structured health report for one or all detected devices. Zero guesswork for the operator.
## What to do
1. **Enumerate hardware.** Call `mcp__meshtastic__list_devices(include_unknown=True)`. For each entry where `likely_meshtastic=True`, capture `port`, `vid`, `pid`, `description`.
2. **Filter by `$ARGUMENTS`**:
- No args, `all` → every likely-meshtastic device.
- `nrf52` → only devices with `vid == 0x239a`.
- `esp32s3` → only devices with `vid == 0x303a` or `vid == 0x10c4`.
- A `/dev/cu.*` path → only that one port.
- Anything else → treat as a substring match against the `port` string.
3. **For each selected device, in sequence (NOT parallel — SerialInterface holds an exclusive port lock):**
- `mcp__meshtastic__device_info(port=<p>)` — captures `my_node_num`, `long_name`, `short_name`, `firmware_version`, `hw_model`, `region`, `num_nodes`, `primary_channel`.
- `mcp__meshtastic__list_nodes(port=<p>)` — count of peers, which ones have `publicKey` set, SNR/RSSI distribution.
- `mcp__meshtastic__get_config(section="lora", port=<p>)` — region, preset, channel_num, tx_power, hop_limit.
- Optionally, if the device seems unhappy (fails to connect, `num_nodes==1` when ≥2 are plugged in, missing firmware*version), open a short firmware log window: `mcp__meshtastic__serial_open(port=<p>, env=<inferred-env>)`, wait 3s, `serial_read(session_id=<s>, max_lines=100)`, `serial_close(session_id=<s>)`. The env should be inferred from the VID map in `mcp-server/run-tests.sh` (nrf52 → rak4631, esp32s3 → heltec-v3) unless `MESHTASTIC_MCP_ENV*<ROLE>` is set.
4. **Render per-device report** as:
```
[nrf52 @ /dev/cu.usbmodem1101] fw=2.7.23.bce2825, hw=RAK4631
owner : Meshtastic 40eb / 40eb
region/band : US, channel 88, LONG_FAST
tx_power : 30 dBm, hop_limit=3
peers : 1 (esp32s3 0x433c2428, pubkey ✓, SNR 6.0 / RSSI -24 dBm)
primary ch : McpTest
firmware : no panics in last 3s; NodeInfoModule emitted 2 broadcasts
```
Keep it scannable. If a field is missing or abnormal (no pubkey for a known peer, region=UNSET, num_nodes inconsistent with the hub), flag it inline with a short `⚠︎ <one-line reason>`.
5. **Cross-device correlation** (only when >1 device is inspected):
- Do both sides see each other in `nodesByNum`? If one does and the other doesn't, that's asymmetric NodeInfo — flag it.
- Do the LoRa configs match? (region, channel_num, modem_preset should all agree; mismatch = no mesh)
- Do the primary channel NAMES match? Mismatch = different PSK = no decode.
6. **Suggest next actions only for specific, recognisable failure modes**:
- Stale PKI pubkey one-way → "run `/test tests/mesh/test_direct_with_ack.py` — the retry + nodeinfo-ping heals this in the test path."
- Region mismatch → "re-bake one side via `./mcp-server/run-tests.sh --force-bake`."
- Device unreachable → point at touch_1200bps + the CP2102-wedged-driver note in run-tests.sh.
## What NOT to do
- No writes. No `set_config`, no `reboot`, no `factory_reset`. This is a read-only diagnostic skill — if the operator wants to change state, they'll ask explicitly.
- No `flash` / `erase_and_flash`. Those are separate escalations.
- No holding SerialInterface across tool calls — open, query, close; next device. The port lock is exclusive.

description: Re-run a specific test N times in isolation to triage flakes, diff firmware logs between passes and failures
argument-hint: <test-node-id> [count=5]
---
# `/repro` — flakiness triage for one test
Re-run a single pytest node ID N times in isolation, track pass rate, and surface what's _different_ in the firmware logs between the passing attempts and the failing ones. Turns "it's flaky, I guess" into "it fails when X, passes when Y."
## What to do
1. **Parse `$ARGUMENTS`**: first token is the pytest node id (e.g. `tests/mesh/test_direct_with_ack.py::test_direct_with_ack_roundtrip[nrf52->esp32s3]`); second token is an integer count (default `5`, cap at `20`). If the first token doesn't look like a test path (no `::` and no `tests/` prefix), treat the whole `$ARGUMENTS` as a `-k` filter instead.
2. **Sanity-check the hub first** (so we're not measuring "nothing plugged in" N times): call `mcp__meshtastic__list_devices`. If the test name contains `nrf52` or `esp32s3` and the matching VID isn't present, stop and report — re-running won't help.
3. **Loop N times**. For each iteration:
```bash
./mcp-server/run-tests.sh <test-id> --tb=short -p no:cacheprovider
```
Capture: exit code, duration, and (on failure) the `Meshtastic debug` firmware log section from `mcp-server/tests/report.html`. `-p no:cacheprovider` suppresses pytest's `.pytest_cache` writes so iterations don't influence each other.
4. **Track a small structured tally**:
```
attempt 1: PASS (42s)
attempt 2: FAIL (128s) ← firmware log 200-line tail captured
attempt 3: PASS (39s)
attempt 4: FAIL (121s)
attempt 5: PASS (41s)
--------------------------------------
pass rate: 3/5 (60%) | mean duration: 74s
```
5. **On mixed outcomes**: diff the firmware log tails between a representative passing attempt and a representative failing attempt. Focus on:
- Error-level lines only present in failures (`PKI_UNKNOWN_PUBKEY`, `Alloc an err=`, `Skip send`, `No suitable channel`)
- Timing around the assertion event — did a broadcast go out, was there an ACK, did NAK fire?
- Device state fields that changed (nodesByNum entries, region/preset, channel_num)
Surface the top 3 differences as a "passes when / fails when" table. Don't dump full logs — pull specific lines with uptime timestamps.
6. **Classify the flake** into one of:
- **LoRa airtime collision** → pass rate improves with fewer concurrent transmitters; propose a `time.sleep` gap or retry bump in the test body.
- **PKI key staleness** → fails on first attempt, passes after self-heal; existing retry loop in `test_direct_with_ack.py` handles this.
- **NodeInfo cooldown** → `Skip send NodeInfo since we sent it <600s ago` in fail-only logs; needs `broadcast_nodeinfo_ping()` warmup.
- **Hardware-specific** (one direction fails, other passes; one device's firmware is older; driver wedged) → specific recovery pointer.
- **Genuinely unknown** → say so; don't invent a root cause.
7. **Report back** with:
- Pass rate and mean duration.
- Classification + evidence (the specific log lines that support it).
- A suggested next step (re-run with specific args, open `/diagnose`, edit a specific test file, nothing).
## Examples
- `/repro tests/mesh/test_direct_with_ack.py::test_direct_with_ack_roundtrip[esp32s3->nrf52] 10` — runs 10 times, diffs firmware logs.
- `/repro broadcast_delivers` — no `::`, no `tests/`, so interpreted as `-k broadcast_delivers`; runs every matching test the default 5 times.
- `/repro tests/telemetry/test_device_telemetry_broadcast.py 3` — shorter run for a slow test.
## Constraints
- Don't exceed `count=20` per invocation — airtime and USB wear add up. If the user asks for 50, negotiate down.
- Don't rebuild firmware as part of triage; flakes that only reproduce under different firmware belong in a separate session.
- If the FIRST attempt fails AND the rest all pass, that's a classic "state leak from a prior test" → say so and suggest running with `--force-bake` or starting from a clean state rather than chasing the first failure.

description: Run the mcp-server test suite (auto-detects devices) and interpret the results
argument-hint: [pytest-args]
---
# `/test` — mcp-server test runner with interpretation
Run `mcp-server/run-tests.sh` and make sense of the output so the operator doesn't have to.
## What to do
1. **Invoke the wrapper.** From the firmware repo root, run:
```bash
./mcp-server/run-tests.sh $ARGUMENTS
```
The wrapper auto-detects connected Meshtastic devices, maps each to its PlatformIO env, exports the required `MESHTASTIC_MCP_ENV_*` env vars, and invokes pytest. If the user passed no arguments, the wrapper supplies a sensible default set (`tests/ --html=tests/report.html --self-contained-html --junitxml=tests/junit.xml -v --tb=short`). A `--report-log=tests/reportlog.jsonl` arg is always appended (unless the operator passed their own). `--assume-baked` is deliberately NOT in the defaults — `test_00_bake.py` has its own skip-if-already-baked check and runs the ~8 s verification by default. Operators can opt into the fast path with `--assume-baked`, or force a reflash with `--force-bake`.
2. **Read the pre-flight header.** First ~6 lines print the detected hub (role → port → env). If that line reads `detected hub : (none)`, the wrapper will narrow to `tests/unit` only — say so explicitly in your summary so the operator knows hardware tiers were skipped.
3. **On pass**: one-line summary of the form `N passed, M skipped in <duration>`. Don't enumerate the 52 test names — the user can read those. Do mention if any test was SKIPPED for a NON-placeholder reason (e.g. "role not present on hub" is worth flagging).
4. **On failure**: for every FAILED test, open `mcp-server/tests/report.html` and extract the `Meshtastic debug` section for that test. pytest-html embeds the firmware log stream + device state dump there; the 200-line firmware log tail is usually enough to explain the failure. Summarise: which test, one-line assertion message, the firmware log lines that matter (things like `PKI_UNKNOWN_PUBKEY`, `Skip send NodeInfo`, `Error=`, `Guru Meditation`, `assertion failed`).
5. **Classify the failure** as one of:
- **Transient/flake**: LoRa collision, timing-sensitive assertion, first-attempt NAK + successful retry pattern. Propose `/repro <test_node_id>` to confirm.
- **Environmental**: device unreachable, port busy, CP2102 driver wedged. Suggest the specific recovery (replug USB, `touch_1200bps`, check `git status userPrefs.jsonc`).
- **Regression**: same assertion fails repeatedly, firmware log shows a new/unusual error. Surface the diff between expected and observed, identify the module likely responsible.
6. **Never run destructive recovery automatically.** If a failure looks like it needs a reflash, factory*reset, or USB replug, \_describe what to do* — don't execute. The operator decides.
## Arguments handling
- No args → wrapper's defaults (full suite).
- `$ARGUMENTS` passed verbatim to the wrapper, which passes them to pytest.
- Common operator invocations: `/test tests/mesh`, `/test tests/mesh/test_direct_with_ack.py::test_direct_with_ack_roundtrip`, `/test --force-bake`, `/test -k telemetry`.
## Side-effects to mention in summary
- The session fixture snapshots `userPrefs.jsonc` at session start and restores at teardown (plus on `atexit`). After a clean run, `git status userPrefs.jsonc` should be empty. If the wrapper's pre-flight printed a warning about a stale sidecar, call that out — means a prior session crashed.
- `mcp-server/tests/report.html` and `junit.xml` are regenerated on every run; the HTML is self-contained (shareable).

### Hardware-in-the-loop tests (`mcp-server/tests/`)
Separate pytest suite that exercises real USB-connected Meshtastic devices. See the **MCP Server & Hardware Test Harness** section below for invocation, tier layout, and agent usage rules.
## MCP Server & Hardware Test Harness
The `mcp-server/` directory houses a firmware-aware [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server plus a pytest-based integration suite. AI agents that speak MCP get a well-defined tool surface for flashing, configuring, and inspecting physical Meshtastic devices — use it instead of hand-rolling `pio` or `meshtastic --port` calls where possible. `mcp-server/README.md` is the operator-facing setup doc; this section is the agent-facing usage contract.
The repo registers the server via `.mcp.json` at the repo root — Claude Code picks it up automatically once `mcp-server/.venv/` is built (`cd mcp-server && python3 -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -e '.[test]'`).
### When to use which surface
| Goal | Tool |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Find a connected device | `mcp__meshtastic__list_devices` |
| Read a live node's config/state | `mcp__meshtastic__device_info`, `list_nodes`, `get_config` |
| Mutate a device (owner, region, channels, reboot) | `set_owner`, `set_config`, `set_channel_url`, `reboot`, `shutdown`, `factory_reset` — all require `confirm=True` |
| Flash firmware to a variant | `pio_flash` (any arch) or `erase_and_flash` (ESP32 factory install) |
| Stream serial logs while debugging | `serial_open` → `serial_read` loop → `serial_close` |
| Administer `userPrefs.jsonc` build-time constants | `userprefs_get`, `userprefs_set`, `userprefs_reset`, `userprefs_manifest` |
| Run the regression suite | `./mcp-server/run-tests.sh` (or `/test` slash command) |
| Diagnose a specific device | `/diagnose [role]` slash command (read-only) |
| Triage a flaky test | `/repro <node-id> [count]` slash command |
**One MCP call per port at a time.** `SerialInterface` holds an exclusive OS-level lock on the serial port for its lifetime. If a `serial_*` session is open on `/dev/cu.usbmodem101`, calling `device_info` on the same port will fail fast pointing at the active session. Sequence calls: open → read/mutate → close, then next device. Never parallelize tool calls on the same port.
### MCP tool surface (~32 tools)
Grouped by purpose. Full argument shapes in `mcp-server/README.md`; a few high-value signatures are called out here.
- **Discovery & metadata**: `list_devices`, `list_boards`, `get_board`
- **Build & flash**: `build`, `clean`, `pio_flash`, `erase_and_flash` (ESP32 only), `update_flash` (ESP32 OTA), `touch_1200bps`
- **Serial sessions** (long-running, 10k-line ring buffer): `serial_open`, `serial_read`, `serial_list`, `serial_close`
- **Device reads**: `device_info`, `list_nodes`
- **Device writes** (all require `confirm=True`): `set_owner`, `get_config`, `set_config`, `get_channel_url`, `set_channel_url`, `send_text`, `reboot`, `shutdown`, `factory_reset`, `set_debug_log_api`
- **userPrefs admin** (build-time constants, not runtime config): `userprefs_get`, `userprefs_set`, `userprefs_reset`, `userprefs_manifest`, `userprefs_testing_profile`
- **Vendor escape hatches**: `esptool_chip_info`, `esptool_erase_flash`, `esptool_raw`, `nrfutil_dfu`, `nrfutil_raw`, `picotool_info`, `picotool_load`, `picotool_raw`
`confirm=True` is a tool-level gate on top of whatever permission prompt your MCP host shows. **Don't bypass it** by asking the host to auto-approve — it exists specifically because MCP hosts sometimes remember "always allow this tool" and that's dangerous for `factory_reset` and `erase_and_flash`.
### Hardware test suite (`mcp-server/run-tests.sh`)
The wrapper auto-detects connected devices (VID → role map: `0x239A` → `nrf52`, `0x303A`/`0x10C4` → `esp32s3`), maps each role to a PlatformIO env (`nrf52` → `rak4631`, `esp32s3` → `heltec-v3`, overridable via `MESHTASTIC_MCP_ENV_<ROLE>`), then invokes pytest. Zero pre-flight config needed from the operator.
Suite tiers (collected + run in this order via `pytest_collection_modifyitems`):
1. `tests/unit/` — pure Python (boards parse, pio wrapper, userPrefs parse, testing profile). No hardware.
2. `tests/test_00_bake.py` — flashes each detected device with current `userPrefs.jsonc` merged with the session's test profile. Has its own skip-if-already-baked check comparing region + primary channel to the session profile; skips cheaply on warm devices.
3. `tests/mesh/` — multi-device mesh: bidirectional send, broadcast delivery, direct-with-ACK, mesh formation within 60s. Parametrized `[nrf52->esp32s3]` and `[esp32s3->nrf52]`.
4. `tests/telemetry/` — `DEVICE_METRICS_APP` broadcast timing.
5. `tests/monitor/` — boot-log panic check.
6. `tests/fleet/` — PSK seed session isolation.
7. `tests/admin/` — channel URL roundtrip, owner persistence across reboot.
8. `tests/provisioning/` — region + modem + slot bake, admin key presence, `UNSET` region blocks TX, userPrefs survive factory reset.
Invocation patterns:
```bash
./mcp-server/run-tests.sh # full suite (auto-bake-if-needed)
./mcp-server/run-tests.sh --force-bake # reflash before testing
./mcp-server/run-tests.sh --assume-baked # skip bake (caller vouches for device state)
./mcp-server/run-tests.sh tests/mesh # one tier
./mcp-server/run-tests.sh tests/mesh/test_direct_with_ack.py # one file
./mcp-server/run-tests.sh -k telemetry # name filter
```
**No hardware detected?** The wrapper auto-narrows to `tests/unit/` only and prints `detected hub : (none)` in the pre-flight header. Agents interpreting the output should call this out explicitly — a 52-test green run without hardware is qualitatively different from a 12-unit-test green run.
**Artifacts every run produces:**
- `mcp-server/tests/report.html` — self-contained pytest-html. Each test gets a `Meshtastic debug` section with the tail of firmware log + device state dump. **Open this first** on failures; it's the canonical evidence source.
- `mcp-server/tests/junit.xml` — CI-parseable.
- `mcp-server/tests/reportlog.jsonl` — pytest-reportlog stream (`$report_type` keyed JSONL). Consumed by the live TUI.
- `mcp-server/tests/fwlog.jsonl` — firmware log mirror from the `meshtastic.log.line` pubsub topic. Populated by the `_firmware_log_stream` autouse session fixture.
### Live TUI (`meshtastic-mcp-test-tui`)
A Textual-based live view that wraps `run-tests.sh`. Tails reportlog for per-test state, streams firmware logs, polls device state at startup + post-run (gated out of the active run because `hub_devices` holds exclusive port locks). Key bindings:
| Key | Action |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `r` | re-run focused test (leaf → that node id; internal node → directory or `-k`) |
| `f` | filter tree by substring |
| `d` | failure detail modal (pulls `longrepr` + captured stdout from the reportlog) |
| `g` | export reproducer bundle (tar.gz with README, test_report.json, time-filtered fwlog, devices.json, env.json) |
| `l` | toggle firmware log pane |
| `x` | tool coverage modal |
| `c` | cross-run history sparkline |
| `q` | quit (SIGINT → SIGTERM → SIGKILL escalation, 5-s windows each) |
Launch:
```bash
cd mcp-server
.venv/bin/meshtastic-mcp-test-tui # full suite
.venv/bin/meshtastic-mcp-test-tui tests/mesh # args pass through to pytest
```
The plain CLI stays primary; the TUI is for operators who want a live dashboard. Both consume the same `run-tests.sh`.
### Slash commands (Claude Code + Copilot)
Three AI-assisted workflows wrap the test harness. Claude Code operators get `/test`, `/diagnose`, `/repro`; Copilot operators get `/mcp-test`, `/mcp-diagnose`, `/mcp-repro`. Bodies:
- `.claude/commands/{test,diagnose,repro}.md`
- `.github/prompts/mcp-{test,diagnose,repro}.prompt.md`
`.claude/commands/README.md` is the index.
House rules for agents running these prompts:
- **Interpret failures, don't just echo them.** Pull firmware log tails from `report.html` and classify each failure as transient / environmental / regression. Use the exact format in `.claude/commands/test.md`.
- **No destructive writes without operator approval.** Any skill that could reflash, factory-reset, or reboot a device must describe the action and stop. The operator authorizes.
- **Sequential MCP calls per port.** See above.
- **"Unknown" is a valid classification.** If evidence doesn't support a root cause, say so and list what would disambiguate. Do not invent.
### Key fixtures (test authors + agents debugging)
`mcp-server/tests/conftest.py` provides:
- **`_session_userprefs`** (autouse session) — snapshots `userPrefs.jsonc` at session start, merges the session test profile via `userprefs.merge_active(test_profile)`, restores at teardown. Four layers of safety: pytest teardown + `atexit` + sidecar file (`userPrefs.jsonc.mcp-session-bak`) + startup self-heal in `run-tests.sh`. **Do not edit `userPrefs.jsonc` from inside a test.**
- **`_firmware_log_stream`** (autouse session) — subscribes to `meshtastic.log.line` pubsub on every connected `SerialInterface` and mirrors lines to `tests/fwlog.jsonl`. Drives the TUI firmware-log pane.
- **`_debug_log_buffer`** (autouse per-test) — captures last 200 firmware log lines + device state for attachment to the pytest-html `Meshtastic debug` section on failure.
- **`hub_devices`** (session) — `dict[role, SerialInterface]` with session-long exclusive port locks. Reason the TUI's device poller is gated to startup + post-run only.
- **`baked_mesh`** — parametrized mesh-pair fixture; depends on `test_00_bake`. `pytest_generate_tests` in `conftest.py` auto-generates `[nrf52->esp32s3]` and `[esp32s3->nrf52]` variants.
- **`test_profile`** — session-scoped dict: region, primary channel, admin key, PSK seed. Derived from `MESHTASTIC_MCP_SEED` (defaults to `mcp-<user>-<host>`).
### Firmware integration points tied to the test harness
Two firmware changes exist specifically so the test harness works reliably. **Keep these in mind when touching related code.**
- **`src/mesh/StreamAPI.cpp` + `StreamAPI.h`** — `emitLogRecord` uses a dedicated `fromRadioScratchLog` + `txBufLog` pair and a `concurrency::Lock streamLock`. Before this fix, `debug_log_api_enabled=true` would tear `FromRadio` protobufs on the serial transport because `emitTxBuffer` and `emitLogRecord` shared a single scratch buffer. The conftest enables the log stream session-wide; without this fix the device would corrupt its own FromRadio replies mid-session.
- **`src/mesh/PhoneAPI.cpp`** — `ToRadio` `Heartbeat(nonce=1)` triggers `nodeInfoModule->sendOurNodeInfo(NODENUM_BROADCAST, true, 0, true)` for serial clients, mirroring the pre-existing behavior for TCP/UDP clients in `PacketAPI.cpp`. The mesh tests rely on this to force a NodeInfo broadcast right after connect so the peer discovers them before the test's first assertion.
If you're modifying `StreamAPI`, `PhoneAPI`, `NodeInfoModule`, or `userPrefs` flow, run `./mcp-server/run-tests.sh` at minimum before asking for review.
### Recovery playbooks
| Symptom | First check | Fix |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `userPrefs.jsonc` dirty after test run | `git status --porcelain userPrefs.jsonc` | If non-empty, re-run `./mcp-server/run-tests.sh` once — the pre-flight self-heal restores from sidecar. If still dirty, `git checkout userPrefs.jsonc`. |
| Port busy / wedged CP2102 on macOS | `lsof /dev/cu.usbserial-0001` | Kill the holder. USB replug if the kernel still reports busy. Often a stale `pio device monitor` or zombie `meshtastic_mcp` process. |
| nRF52 appears unresponsive | `list_devices` shows VID `0x239A` but `device_info` times out | `touch_1200bps(port=...)` drops it into the DFU bootloader → `pio_flash` re-installs. |
| Multiple MCP server processes | `ps aux \| grep meshtastic_mcp` shows >1 | Kill all but the one your MCP host spawned. Zombies hold ports and break tests. |
| Mesh formation fails, one side sees peer but other doesn't | `/diagnose` (or `list_nodes` on both sides) | Asymmetric NodeInfo. `test_direct_with_ack` has a heal path; `/repro` it a few times. If persistent, both devices' clocks may be out of sync with their NodeInfo cooldown. |
| "role not present on hub" in skip reasons | `list_devices` | Expected if a device is unplugged. Reconnect before re-running the tier. |
| Tests fail only on first attempt then pass on rerun | — | State leak from a prior session. Run with `--force-bake` to reset to a known state. |
### Never do these without asking
- `factory_reset` — wipes node identity; regenerates PKI keypair. Mesh peers will reject old DMs until re-exchange. Legitimate only when the operator explicitly wants it.
- `erase_and_flash` — full chip erase; destroys all on-device state.
- `esptool_erase_flash` / `esptool_raw` write/erase — bypasses pio's safety chain.
- `set_config` on `lora.region` — changes regulatory domain; requires physical-location context the operator has and the agent doesn't.
- `reboot` / `shutdown` mid-test — breaks fixture invariants.
- `push -f`, `rebase -i`, `reset --hard`, or any history-rewriting git operation.
- Clicking computer-use tools on web links in Mail/Messages/PDFs — open URLs via the claude-in-chrome MCP so the extension's link-safety checks apply.

description: Device health report via the meshtastic MCP tools (Copilot equivalent of the Claude Code /diagnose slash command)

# `/mcp-diagnose` — device health report
Equivalent of `.claude/commands/diagnose.md`. Use when the operator asks to "check the devices", "what's the mesh looking like", "is nrf52 alive", etc.
This prompt assumes the meshtastic MCP server is registered with your VS Code Copilot agent. If it isn't, fall back to running `./mcp-server/run-tests.sh tests/unit` plus a short `device_info` script via the terminal.
## What to do
1. **Enumerate hardware** via the `list_devices` MCP tool (with `include_unknown=True`). For each entry where `likely_meshtastic=True`, capture `port`, `vid`, `pid`, `description`.
2. **Apply the operator's filter** (if any):
- No filter → every likely-meshtastic device.
- `nrf52` → `vid == 0x239a`
- `esp32s3` → `vid == 0x303a` or `vid == 0x10c4`
- A `/dev/cu.*` path → only that port.
- Anything else → substring match on port.
3. **For each selected device, in sequence (don't parallelize — SerialInterface holds an exclusive port lock):**
- `device_info(port=<p>)` → `my_node_num`, `long_name`, `short_name`, `firmware_version`, `hw_model`, `region`, `num_nodes`, `primary_channel`
- `list_nodes(port=<p>)` → peer count, which peers have `publicKey`, SNR/RSSI distribution
- `get_config(section="lora", port=<p>)` → region, preset, channel_num, tx_power, hop_limit
- If anything looks off (can't connect, `num_nodes` wrong, missing `firmware_version`), open a short firmware-log window: `serial_open(port=<p>, env=<inferred>)`, wait 3 seconds, `serial_read(session_id, max_lines=100)`, `serial_close(session_id)`. Infer env from VID (0x239a → `rak4631`, 0x303a/0x10c4 → `heltec-v3`) unless an `MESHTASTIC_MCP_ENV_<ROLE>` env var overrides it.
4. **Render per-device report** as a compact block:
```
[nrf52 @ /dev/cu.usbmodem1101] fw=2.7.23.bce2825, hw=RAK4631
owner : Meshtastic 40eb / 40eb
region/band : US, channel 88, LONG_FAST
tx_power : 30 dBm, hop_limit=3
peers : 1 (esp32s3 0x433c2428, pubkey ✓, SNR 6.0 / RSSI -24 dBm)
primary ch : McpTest
firmware : no panics in last 3s
```
Flag abnormalities inline with `⚠︎ <short reason>` — missing pubkey on a known peer, region UNSET, mismatched channel name, etc.
5. **Cross-device correlation** (when >1 device selected):
- Do both see each other in `nodesByNum`?
- Do `region`, `channel_num`, `modem_preset` match across devices?
- Do the primary channel names match? (Different name → different PSK → no decode.)
6. **Suggest next steps only for recognizable failure modes**, never speculatively:
- Stale PKI one-way → "`/mcp-test tests/mesh/test_direct_with_ack.py` — the test's retry+nodeinfo-ping heals this."
- Region mismatch → "re-bake one side via `./mcp-server/run-tests.sh --force-bake`."
- Device unreachable → refer operator to the touch_1200bps + CP2102-wedged-driver notes in `run-tests.sh`.
## Hard constraints
- **Read-only.** No `set_config`, no `reboot`, no `factory_reset`, no `flash`. If the operator wants mutation, they'll escalate explicitly.
- **Open/query/close per device.** Never hold multiple SerialInterfaces to the same port. The port lock is exclusive.
- **Don't infer env beyond the VID map** — if the operator has an unusual board, ask them which env to use rather than guessing.

description: Re-run a specific test N times to triage flakes; diff firmware logs between passes and failures (Copilot equivalent of the Claude Code /repro slash command)
---
# `/mcp-repro` — flakiness triage for one test
Equivalent of `.claude/commands/repro.md`. Use when the operator says "that one test is flaky — dig in", "repro the direct_with_ack failure", "why does X sometimes fail?".
## What to do
1. **Parse the operator's input** into two pieces:
- **Test identifier** — either a pytest node id (has `::` or starts with `tests/`) or a `-k`-style filter (plain substring like `direct_with_ack`).
- **Count** — integer, default `5`, cap at `20`. If the operator asks for 50, negotiate down and explain (airtime + USB wear).
2. **Sanity-check the hub** via the `list_devices` MCP tool. If the test name references `nrf52` or `esp32s3` and the matching VID isn't present, stop and report — re-running won't help.
3. **Loop** N times. Each iteration:
```bash
./mcp-server/run-tests.sh <test-id> --tb=short -p no:cacheprovider
```
`-p no:cacheprovider` keeps pytest from caching anything between iterations. Capture: exit code, duration, and (on failure) the `Meshtastic debug` firmware-log section from `mcp-server/tests/report.html`.
4. **Tally** results as you go:
```
attempt 1: PASS (42s)
attempt 2: FAIL (128s) ← fw log captured
attempt 3: PASS (39s)
attempt 4: FAIL (121s)
attempt 5: PASS (41s)
--------------------------------------------------
pass rate: 3/5 (60%) | mean duration: 74s
```
5. **On mixed outcomes, diff the firmware logs** between one representative pass and one representative fail. Focus on:
- Error-level lines present only in failures (`PKI_UNKNOWN_PUBKEY`, `Alloc an err=`, `Skip send`, `No suitable channel`, `NAK`)
- Timing around the assertion point (broadcast sent? ACK received? retry fired?)
- Device-state fields that changed between attempts
Surface the top 3 differences as a compact "passes when / fails when" table with uptime timestamps. Don't dump full logs.
6. **Classify** the flake into one of:
- **LoRa airtime collision** — pass rate improves with fewer concurrent transmitters. Suggest a `time.sleep` gap or retry bump in the test body.
- **PKI key staleness** — first attempt fails, subsequent ones pass; existing retry-loop pattern in `test_direct_with_ack.py` is the fix.
- **NodeInfo cooldown** — `Skip send NodeInfo since we sent it <600s ago` in fail-only logs; needs a `broadcast_nodeinfo_ping()` warmup.
- **Hardware-specific** — one direction consistently fails, firmware versions differ, CP2102 driver wedged, etc.
- **Unknown** — say so. Don't invent a root cause.
7. **Report back** with:
- Pass rate + mean duration.
- Classification + the specific log evidence for it.
- A concrete next step (tighter assertion, more retries, open `/mcp-diagnose`, file a bug, nothing).
## Examples
- `tests/mesh/test_direct_with_ack.py::test_direct_with_ack_roundtrip[esp32s3->nrf52] 10` — 10 runs of that parametrized case.
- `broadcast_delivers` — no `::`, no `tests/`; treat as `-k broadcast_delivers`; runs every match 5 times.
- `tests/telemetry/test_device_telemetry_broadcast.py 3` — shorter count for a slow test.
## Notes
- If the FIRST attempt fails and the rest pass, that's a state-leak signature — suggest starting from `--force-bake` or a clean device state rather than chasing the first-failure firmware logs.
- If ALL N fail, this isn't a flake — it's a regression. Say so, stop iterating, escalate to `/mcp-test` for full-suite context.
- Don't rebuild firmware during triage. Flakes that only reproduce under different firmware belong in a separate session with a plan.

# `/mcp-test` — mcp-server test runner with interpretation
Equivalent of the Claude Code `/test` slash command in `.claude/commands/test.md`. Use this when the operator asks you to "run the tests", "check the mcp test suite", "run the mesh tests", etc.
## What to do
1. **Invoke the wrapper** from the firmware repo root:
```bash
./mcp-server/run-tests.sh [pytest-args]
```
If the operator specified a subset (e.g. "just the mesh tests"), pass it through as `tests/mesh` or a pytest `-k filter`. If they said nothing, use the wrapper's defaults (full suite with pytest-html report).
The wrapper auto-detects connected Meshtastic devices, maps each to its PlatformIO env, exports the required env vars, and invokes pytest. Zero pre-flight config needed from the operator.
2. **Read the pre-flight header** (first few lines of wrapper output). The `detected hub :` line lists role → port → env mappings. If it reads `(none)`, the wrapper narrowed to `tests/unit` only — call that out explicitly so the operator knows hardware tiers were skipped.
3. **On pass**: one-line summary like `N passed, M skipped in <duration>`. Don't enumerate test names. DO mention any non-placeholder SKIPs (things like "role not present on hub") because they indicate missing hardware or setup issues.
4. **On failure**: open `mcp-server/tests/report.html` (pytest-html output, self-contained) and extract the `Meshtastic debug` section for each failed test. That section includes a firmware log stream (last 200 lines) and device state dump. For each failure, summarise:
- test name
- one-line assertion message
- the specific firmware log lines that explain why (look for `PKI_UNKNOWN_PUBKEY`, `Skip send NodeInfo`, `Error=`, `Guru Meditation`, `assertion failed`, `No suitable channel`)
5. **Classify each failure** as one of:
- **Transient flake** — LoRa collision, first-attempt NAK with self-heal pattern, timing-sensitive assertion. Suggest `/mcp-repro <test-id>` to confirm.
- **Environmental** — device unreachable, port busy, CP2102 driver wedged on macOS. Suggest specific recovery (USB replug, `touch_1200bps`, `git status userPrefs.jsonc`).
- **Regression** — same assertion fails repeatedly on re-runs, firmware log shows novel errors. Identify the firmware module likely responsible.
6. **Do NOT run destructive recovery automatically**. If a failure looks like it needs a reflash, factory*reset, or replug — \_describe the steps* and let the operator decide. Never burn airtime or flash cycles without approval.
## Arguments convention
Operators generally invoke this prompt either with no arguments (full suite) or with a specific subset. Examples:
- `tests/mesh` — one tier
- `tests/mesh/test_direct_with_ack.py::test_direct_with_ack_roundtrip` — one test
- `--force-bake` — reflash devices first
- `-k telemetry` — name-filter
## Side-effects to confirm in your summary
- `userPrefs.jsonc` should be clean after a successful run. The session fixture in `mcp-server/tests/conftest.py` (`_session_userprefs`) snapshots and restores. Check `git status --porcelain userPrefs.jsonc` and report if it's non-empty.
- `mcp-server/tests/report.html` and `junit.xml` regenerate on every run.
- The wrapper prints a warning if a `.mcp-session-bak` sidecar was left over from a crashed prior session and auto-restores from it — mention that if it happened.

# Agent instructions
This repository is the [Meshtastic](https://meshtastic.org) firmware — a C++17 embedded codebase targeting ESP32 / nRF52 / RP2040 / STM32WL / Linux-Portduino LoRa mesh radios — plus a Python MCP server in `mcp-server/` that AI agents use to flash, configure, and test connected devices.
## Primary instruction file
**Read `.github/copilot-instructions.md` first.** That file is the canonical agent-facing document for this repo. It covers project layout, coding conventions (naming, module framework, Observer pattern, thread safety), the build system, CI/CD, the native C++ test suite, and — most importantly for automation work — the **MCP Server & Hardware Test Harness** section. Read it top-to-bottom before starting any non-trivial change.
This file (`AGENTS.md`) is a short pointer + quick reference for agents that don't read `.github/copilot-instructions.md` by default.
## Quick command reference
| Action | Command |
| -------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Build a firmware variant | `pio run -e <env>` (e.g. `pio run -e rak4631`, `pio run -e heltec-v3`) |
| Clean + rebuild | `pio run -e <env> -t clean && pio run -e <env>` |
| Flash a device | `pio run -e <env> -t upload --upload-port <port>` (or use the `pio_flash` MCP tool) |
| Run firmware unit tests (native) | `pio test -e native` |
| Run MCP hardware tests | `./mcp-server/run-tests.sh` |
| Live TUI test runner | `mcp-server/.venv/bin/meshtastic-mcp-test-tui` |
| Format before commit | `trunk fmt` |
| Regenerate protobuf bindings | `bin/regen-protos.sh` |
| Generate CI matrix | `./bin/generate_ci_matrix.py all [--level pr]` |
## MCP server (device + test automation)
The `mcp-server/` package exposes ~32 MCP tools for device discovery, building, flashing, serial monitoring, and live-node administration. Tools are grouped as:
- **Discovery**: `list_devices`, `list_boards`, `get_board`
- **Build & flash**: `build`, `clean`, `pio_flash`, `erase_and_flash` (ESP32 factory), `update_flash` (ESP32 OTA), `touch_1200bps`
- **Serial sessions**: `serial_open`, `serial_read`, `serial_list`, `serial_close`
- **Device reads**: `device_info`, `list_nodes`
- **Device writes** (require `confirm=True`): `set_owner`, `get_config`, `set_config`, `get_channel_url`, `set_channel_url`, `send_text`, `reboot`, `shutdown`, `factory_reset`, `set_debug_log_api`
- **userPrefs admin**: `userprefs_get`, `userprefs_set`, `userprefs_reset`, `userprefs_manifest`, `userprefs_testing_profile`
- **Vendor escape hatches**: `esptool_*`, `nrfutil_*`, `picotool_*`
Setup: `cd mcp-server && python3 -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -e '.[test]'`. The repo registers the server via `.mcp.json` — Claude Code picks it up automatically.
See `mcp-server/README.md` for argument shapes and the **MCP Server & Hardware Test Harness** section of `.github/copilot-instructions.md` for agent usage rules (tool surface, fixture contract, firmware integration points, recovery playbooks).
## Slash commands (AI-assisted workflows)
Three test-and-diagnose workflows exist as slash commands:
- **`/test` (Claude Code) / `/mcp-test` (Copilot)** — run the hardware test suite and interpret failures
- **`/diagnose` / `/mcp-diagnose`** — read-only device health report
- **`/repro` / `/mcp-repro`** — flakiness triage: re-run one test N times, diff firmware logs between passes and failures
Bodies live in `.claude/commands/` and `.github/prompts/` respectively. `.claude/commands/README.md` is the index.
## House rules
- **No destructive device operations without operator approval.** `factory_reset`, `erase_and_flash`, `reboot`, `shutdown`, history-rewriting git ops — describe the action and stop. Operator authorizes.
- **One MCP call per serial port at a time.** The port lock is exclusive; concurrent calls deadlock. Sequence: open → read/mutate → close, then next device.
- **`userPrefs.jsonc` is session state during tests.** The `_session_userprefs` fixture snapshots + restores it; never edit it from inside a test.
- **Don't speculate about firmware root causes.** When evidence doesn't support a classification, say "unknown" and list what would disambiguate.
- **Run `trunk fmt` before proposing a commit.** The `trunk_check` CI gate will reject unformatted code.
- **`confirm=True` on destructive MCP tools is a real gate, not a formality.** Don't bypass it via auto-approve settings.
## Typical agent workflows
### Flashing a device
1. `list_devices` → find the port + likely VID
2. `list_boards` → confirm the env, or use the known default for the hardware
3. `pio_flash(env=..., port=..., confirm=True)` for any arch, or `erase_and_flash(env=..., port=..., confirm=True)` for an ESP32 factory install
### Inspecting live node state
1. `device_info(port=...)` — short summary (node num, firmware version, region, peer count)
2. `list_nodes(port=...)` — full peer table (SNR, RSSI, pubkey presence, last_heard)
3. `get_config(section="lora", port=...)` — LoRa settings for cross-device comparison
Sequence these; don't parallelize on the same port.
### Testing a firmware change
1. Build locally: `pio run -e <env>`
2. Flash the test device: `pio_flash(env=..., port=..., confirm=True)`
3. Run the suite: `./mcp-server/run-tests.sh tests/<tier>` or `/test tests/<tier>`
4. On failure, open `mcp-server/tests/report.html` → `Meshtastic debug` section for the firmware log tail + device state dump
5. Iterate
### Debugging a flaky test
1. `/repro <test-node-id> [count]` — re-runs the test N times, diffs firmware logs between passes and failures
2. If the first attempt always fails and the rest pass, that's a state-leak pattern → suggest `--force-bake` or a clean device state, don't chase the first failure
3. If all N fail, this isn't a flake — it's a regression. Stop iterating and escalate to `/test` for full-suite context.
## Where to look
| Path | What's there |
| --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `src/` | Firmware C++ source (`mesh/`, `modules/`, `platform/`, `graphics/`, `gps/`, `motion/`, `mqtt/`, …) |
| `src/mesh/` | Core: NodeDB, Router, Channels, CryptoEngine, radio interfaces, StreamAPI, PhoneAPI |
| `src/modules/` | Feature modules; `Telemetry/Sensor/` has 50+ I2C sensor drivers |
| `variants/` | 200+ hardware variant definitions (`variant.h` + `platformio.ini` per board) |
| `protobufs/` | `.proto` definitions; regenerate with `bin/regen-protos.sh` |
| `test/` | Firmware unit tests (12 suites; `pio test -e native`) |
| `mcp-server/` | Python MCP server + pytest hardware integration tests |
| `mcp-server/tests/` | Tiered pytest suite: `unit/`, `mesh/`, `telemetry/`, `monitor/`, `fleet/`, `admin/`, `provisioning/` |
| `.claude/commands/` | Claude Code slash command bodies |
| `.github/prompts/` | Copilot prompt bodies (mirrors of the Claude Code ones) |
| `.github/copilot-instructions.md` | **Primary agent instructions — read this** |
| `.github/workflows/` | CI pipelines |
| `.mcp.json` | MCP server registration for Claude Code |
## Recovery one-liners
- **`userPrefs.jsonc` dirty after a test run?** Re-run `./mcp-server/run-tests.sh` once (pre-flight self-heals from the sidecar). If still dirty: `git checkout userPrefs.jsonc`.
- **nRF52 not responding?** `mcp__meshtastic__touch_1200bps(port=...)` drops it into the DFU bootloader, then `pio_flash` re-installs.
- **Port busy?** `lsof <port>` to find the holder. Usually a stale `pio device monitor` or zombie `meshtastic_mcp` process. Kill it.
- **Multiple MCP servers running?** `ps aux | grep meshtastic_mcp` — zombies hold ports. Kill all but the one your host spawned.

| File | Contents |
|---|---|
| `test_report.json` | The pytest-reportlog `TestReport` event for the failing test — includes `longrepr`, captured `sections` (stdout/stderr/log), `duration`, `location`, `keywords`. |
| `fwlog.jsonl` | Firmware log lines (from `meshtastic.log.line` pubsub) filtered to [start−5s, stop+5s] around the test's run window. Each line is `{{ts, port, line}}`. |
| `devices.json` | Per-device snapshot at export time: `device_info` + `lora` config per detected role. |
| `env.json` | Python version, platform, hostname, seed, run number. |
## How to triage
1. Open `test_report.json` and read `longrepr` + `sections` — most failures explain themselves there.
2. If the failure is a mesh/telemetry assertion, `fwlog.jsonl` is where the answer usually lives. Grep for `Error=`, `NAK`, `PKI_UNKNOWN_PUBKEY`, `Skip send`, `Guru Meditation`, or the uptime timestamps around the assertion event.
3. Compare `devices.json` against the expected state (e.g. `num_nodes >= 2`, `primary_channel == "McpTest"`, `region == "US"`). If fields disagree with the seed-derived USERPREFS profile, the device probably wasn't baked with this session's profile.
## Reproducing locally

Every PlatformIO interaction in this package funnels through `run()` so we
have a single place that owns timeouts, buffer sizes, JSON parsing, and the
"stderr on exit-0 is informational" convention.
`run()` has two execution paths:
* Fast path (default): `subprocess.run(capture_output=True)` — buffered, one
return; fine for sub-second pio calls like `pio --version` or
`pio project config --json-output`.
* Streaming path: when the `MESHTASTIC_MCP_FLASH_LOG` env var is set, each
output line is tee'd to that file as it arrives via a threaded reader.
The TUI tails the file to give live flash progress — otherwise a 3-minute
`pio run -t upload` is completely silent to the operator.
`hw_tools.py` shares the streaming helper via `pio._run_capturing()` so
esptool/nrfutil/picotool output also streams when the env var is set.
