* CI: track RAM (.data+.bss) in size reports and gate on per-env budgets
The 2.8.0 nRF52840 heap regression (99% heap in field reports) shipped
invisibly because CI only tracked flash. On nRF52840 the heap arena is the
linker gap after .bss, so every byte of static .data+.bss growth shrinks the
usable heap 1:1 - RAM needs the same guardrails flash already has.
What's added:
- bin/platformio-custom.py emits ram_bytes (.data + .bss from the ELF, via
the toolchain size tool) into each .mt.json manifest. Heap/stack
placeholder sections are deliberately excluded.
- bin/collect_sizes.py records {flash_bytes, ram_bytes} per env;
bin/size_report.py grows RAM and RAM-delta columns in the PR size report.
Older artifacts without ram_bytes (and legacy int-schema baselines)
degrade to "n/a" instead of crashing.
- bin/ram_budgets.json: per-env RAM/flash budgets, enforced only for envs
listed there. Seeded with rak4631: ram 113,000 (current 110,948 + ~2 KB
slack), flash 786,000 (current 765,192 + ~20 KB; the app region is
0x27000..0xEA000 = 798,720 and the image must stay clear of the
warm-store ring guard in extra_scripts/nrf52_warm_region.py).
- New size-budget-gate CI job runs size_report.py --enforce-budgets and
fails the build on violation; the informational firmware-size-report job
now also renders budget usage into the PR comment.
- src/main.cpp: opt-in boot heap watermark (-DMESHTASTIC_HEAP_WATERMARK_CHECK)
logs LOG_ERROR when less than 20% of the heap is free at the end of
setup(). Off by default; skipped on platforms without heap accounting.
How budgets are raised: deliberately, never automatically. If a change needs
more headroom, bump the env's limit in bin/ram_budgets.json in the same PR
and justify the increase in the PR description.
Verified: python3 bin/test_size_scripts.py (23/23 pass, including ram_bytes
parsing, n/a fallback, and over/under/missing-env budget-gate cases).
* Address review: fail the budget gate closed, fix RAM section matching
- size-budget-gate workflow: drop continue-on-error on the manifest
download and the empty-dir fallback, so the job fails when the data it
gates on cannot be fetched.
- size_report.py --enforce-budgets now fails closed on every
missing-data path instead of trivially passing: empty collected sizes,
a budgeted env that was not built, or a manifest without the budgeted
metric. Report-only mode keeps rendering those as n/a.
- load_budgets() rejects zero/negative/non-integer budgets with a clear
error (a typo'd budget could previously crash budget_markdown with
ZeroDivisionError or silently skip the check); the percentage render
keeps a defensive guard for direct callers.
- compute_ram_bytes(): count RISC-V small-data sections (.sdata/.sbss)
and exclude ESP-IDF .rtc.* sections, which live outside the
heap-competing SRAM.
- Trim the heap-watermark comment in main.cpp to two lines.
bin/test_size_scripts.py: 27/27 - the two fail-open assertions are
flipped to fail-closed, with new report-only counterparts plus cases for
empty sizes under enforcement and malformed budgets.
