Take HIL board locks through hil_lock.board_task and flash max32666fthr over J-Link - #648
The HIL runner still uses the lock lifecycle that agentrc removed in hathach/agentrc#474: cleanup holders, hand-over
and takeover recovery, and a pending-session mark that refuses every later invocation. Bumping the agentrc pin fails
the helper capability check as written. Nothing checks whether another process is already using the board's probe
before flashing.
max32666fthr's battery went red on #647; on the rig it is now wired to a J-Link.
Before hardware access. It runs the probe busy check (probe_users) under the lock. Users refuse with exit 2
and probeUsers; a check that can't decide runs nothing.
Verdict at the end:
restored once the blinky cleanup passed, which resolves the open failures it covers;
failed with the pending receipts otherwise.
A failed cleanup is a logged failure. The lock always ends with the task, so there is no cleanup holder,
hand-over or takeover.
The report gives each board one lock object: taken, released, ended cleanly, failure logged, errors, describe(), restore notes. The Markdown, CI summary and PR comment show it when notable.
Manual install and restore under a hold take the board's session_mutex, so two commands under one hold
never overlap. They run the same busy check. A failure is appended to the cleanup log, and the hold stays.
Legacy pending marks. A reduced reader stays for marks written by older runners. A session still running
refuses; any other is reported once as retained.
max32666fthr:
It now flashes over its J-Link (JLINK_DEVICE MAX32665, HEX target), and its roster probe is 000063728732.
It stays pending commissioning (no reentry), so CI lists it as not run.
Tests: .claude/test (757 tests) and pre-commit pass.
Hardware, on ci.lan at this branch with agentrc 48d46bbf (hathach/agentrc#535 before its review repairs):
Normal battery: passes on imxrt1064_evk, lpcxpresso55s69, stm32f407disco, stm32h743nucleo, metro_m4_express,
espressif_esp32s3_devkitm_1 and espressif_p4_function_ev. Each lock ended cleanly, with no cleanup event.
Injected cleanup failure:--fail-at cleanup twice on stm32f407disco. Each exits 4 with a failed event logged,
and the second run reports the first. restore --under-hold then exits 0 and marks both restored.
SIGINT mid-battery (lpcxpresso55s69): the runner cleans up and the cleanup passes. Exit 1 (aborted, a blocker);
lock released; nothing owed; the next run passes.
Lock contention: an own hold plus --lock-wait 30 gives a locked row after 30.5 s, with nothing touched.
Probe busy: an idle JLinkExe -USB 000773661813 refuses the battery, and a manual install under a hold, with
exit 2 in 0.5 s and probeUsers naming it. Nothing is touched and the hold is kept.
max32666fthr: builds and is admitted. A commissioning-mode run with --try-reentry retained-register passes
5/5 plus cleanup on the J-Link. The rest of its commissioning is still to do.
The HIL runner now uses task-scoped board locks and cleanup logs. CI and report output include cleanup diagnostics and prior failures. The MAX32666FTHR HIL configuration changes to J-Link with the MAX32665 device name.

Summary
Session, probe, and USB admission .claude/skills/hil-contract/scripts/hil_test.py, test/hil/agentrc.json
Board admission and flash checks use task and session APIs, provider-based probe checks, and bounded USB observations. Legacy pending marks remain readable. The configured agentrc commit is updated.
Board-task execution and cleanup .claude/skills/hil-contract/scripts/hil_test.py
Batteries run under board tasks. Cleanup failures are logged without retaining the board lock. Manual install and restore run under a caller-provided hold.
CI reporting and regression coverage .claude/skills/hil-contract/scripts/hil_ci.py, .claude/skills/hil-contract/scripts/hil_comment.py, .claude/skills/hil-contract/scripts/hil_remote.py, .claude/skills/hil-contract/scripts/hil_run_report.py, .claude/test/test_hil_ci.py, .claude/test/test_hil_comment.py, .claude/test/test_hil_remote.py
CI and remote adapters preserve cleanup-failure fields and notes. Reports include diagnostics for passing and failing boards. Tests cover lock endings, prior cleanup failures, and later cleanup.

Summary
Board flasher binding and tests .claude/test/test_build.py, ports/maxim/CMakeLists.txt, ports/maxim/boards/max32666fthr/board.cmake, test/hil/ci.json
The board’s HIL probe changes to J-Link, its device name changes to MAX32665, and its J-Link flash command adds the hex format. The HIL roster tests check the J-Link binding and a separate bench OpenOCD binding.

Explanation
The title names the two main changes: taking HIL board locks through hil_lock.board_task and flashing max32666fthr over J-Link. Both appear in the raw summary and objectives. It is concise, specific, and omits only secondary changes such as the pin bump, legacy pending-mark handling, and test updates.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the problem (legacy lock lifecycle, pin bump failing the capability check, no probe-busy check), the solution (board_task locking, probe busy check, cleanup logging, manual install/restore under hold, legacy pending marks, max32666fthr J-Link config, agentrc pin bump), and hardware and test validation. This matches the changeset closely.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Scope: #638 is the only directly linked issue, and it is open. Its coding requirements apply. The SKILL.md rewrite is documentation and does not gate this verdict.
Requirement status, from the whole-PR summary (merge base 0200ec8 to head 5fc5bb8):
[#638] Helper capability check: hil_test.py now requires board_task, session_mutex, SessionBusy, BoardLocked, BoardBusy, resolve_restored and PendingRefused. The cleanup-holder role is no longer required. Met.
[#638] Cleanup-holder and takeover recovery: prove_cleanup_holder, recovery_lock, hand_off, keep_held, exec_holder, takeover_predecessor, --recover-holder and --recover-takeover are removed. Board work runs under the task lock (board_task). Met.
[#638] Failed cleanup is logged and the lock is released: end_board and log_failure record the failure in the cleanup log, and exit 4 covers failed cleanup. The issue names hil_lock.end_failed(...); the code uses the board_task and log_failure API. The PR states this API is in hathach/agentrc@0919dcf. Met, with a naming difference.
[#638] Pending sessions become reports: refuse_pending no longer writes a mark. Legacy marks use a reduced reader. A running session refuses; other legacy marks are reported as retained. Met.
[#638] Preflight blockers (hil_run_report.py, hil_ci.py): cleanup.heldAfter alone no longer blocks, and the verdict checks continue for other codes. Met.
[#638] Per-board open failures: previousCleanupFailure, openCleanupFailures and board notes appear in hil_run_report.py, hil_comment.py and hil_remote.py, with tests. Met.
[#638] Pin bump: test/hil/agentrc.json moves to 0919dcf. Met.
The summary shows no regression in the lock, pending-mark, or report paths from the earlier reviewed state.
Unresolved uncertainty: the hardware evidence in the PR description ran on agentrc 48d46bbf, before the review repairs in 0919dcf. Hardware results for 0919dcf are not established here. The 757-test result was not re-run here. These are verification gaps, not unmet coding requirements.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Changes outside the core lock migration of #638:
ports/maxim/boards/max32666fthr/board.cmake (JLINK_DEVICE MAX32665) and ports/maxim/CMakeLists.txt (family_flash_jlink hex format): these support the max32666fthr J-Link objective stated in the PR description. They do not change lock behavior.
test/hil/ci.json (probe 000063728732, reentry removed): the board stays pending commissioning and is not run in CI. This matches the stated objective.
Test updates in .claude/test (test_build.py, test_hil.py, test_hil_ci.py, test_hil_comment.py, test_hil_remote.py): these support the changed lock, probe and report behavior. Removed tests cover code that this PR removes or rewrites.
Build-lock keeper re-execution without the CI job-tracking variable (hil_test.py, per the summary): this changes a lock helper in the same HIL harness. The current PR description does not name it, and it concerns build locks rather than board locks. The connection to #638 is weak, but no unrelated behavior is demonstrated. The author should describe this change in the PR description.
Commit 18451dd (no_ci_job(self) in test_each_flasher_is_checked_by_its_probe_serial): test-only, consistent with the ProbeBusy behavior change.

Clear the CI job environment in ProbeBusy.
test_each_flasher_is_checked_by_its_probe_serial calls select_route(..., 'openocd_esp'). That call reaches the provider's openocd_esp refusal. When the job sets GITHUB_ACTIONS or RUNNER_TRACKING_ID, the refusal raises Refused, so the pre-commit claude-tests hook fails in CI. Other route-selecting tests in this file call no_ci_job(self). ProbeBusy does not.
Call no_ci_job(self) in a ProbeBusysetUp. The refusal is correct for real CI runs, so the fix belongs in the test, not in the runner.

- Line 144: Update the report handoff between hil_test.main() and launch() so a
failed detached keeper with a lock in HELD_BUILD cannot block the exit-4 report
while launch() waits for process exit or EOF. Ensure the report reaches CI
before waiting on that survivor, without releasing the build lock.

block TERM_SIGNALS through settling and failure logging, ensuring a signal

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 2 included reviews per hour; 1 remain after this review.
The test selects openocd_esp, which hil_test refuses under a CI job, so it
fails when CI variables are set. Skip it there with no_ci_job rather than
unset the variables inside the test.
Fixed in 18451dd: test_each_flasher_is_checked_by_its_probe_serial now calls no_ci_job(self) before it selects openocd_esp (.claude/test/test_hil.py:5799). That clears the CI job variables, so the refusal never fires under CI.
It is the only ProbeBusy test that selects openocd_esp, so a class-wide setUp adds nothing.
The in-process keeper fallback still carried RUNNER_TRACKING_ID, so the runner's orphan cleanup
at job end could kill the lock holder and free the build files while a stuck flash child survived.
Re-execute the keeper without the tracking variable under a job, and close stdio only when that
re-exec is refused.

Fixes #638.
Problem
The HIL runner still uses the lock lifecycle that agentrc removed in hathach/agentrc#474: cleanup holders, hand-over
and takeover recovery, and a pending-session mark that refuses every later invocation. Bumping the agentrc pin fails
the helper capability check as written. Nothing checks whether another process is already using the board's probe
before flashing.
max32666fthr's battery went red on #647; on the rig it is now wired to a J-Link.
