Take HIL board locks through hil_lock.board_task - #4499
hil_test.py, usbtest's run_case.py and wedge_drill.py each manage the board lock by hand: they take it, clear
or end the record, close the handle, and protect it only for the OpenOCD-ESP adapter. No run checks whether another
process is already using the board's probe before flashing. An interrupt or a finalization error can leave a record
that nothing reports.
Solution
Every board lock is now taken through agentrc's hil_lock.board_task (hathach/agentrc#535):
Protected takes for every adapter. The hand-managed release, clear and close code is gone.
A busy check under the lock, before any hardware access.
Tests: test/hil/test and .claude/test pass, and pre-commit passes.
Hardware, on ci.lan at dd992195c with agentrc 48d46bbf (hathach/agentrc#535 before its review repairs, which change no
path this branch uses: callers take with wait=0 and use no session_mutex):
Normal run on each flasher kind:
stm32f407disco (J-Link): every test ok except cdc_dual_ports, which is skipped because that example's skip.txt
lists the board;
raspberry_pi_pico (OpenOCD), 20/20;
stm32h743nucleo (ST-LINK), 30/30;
ek_tm4c123gxl (lm4flash), 15/15;
espressif_s3_devkitm (esptool), 18/18.
Every lock was released and no cleanup event was logged.
Probe busy. An idle JLinkExe -USB 000773661813 on stm32f407disco refuses the run at once with probe-busy
naming it. Nothing was touched and no event was logged.
Ctrl-C mid-run on raspberry_pi_pico:
The pool's terminate() killed the board worker before it could log. The record was left stale (exit 130, no
report).
The next run reported it as previous-cleanup-failure, and its park logged restored for it.
Farm check.
pico, f407, h743 and s3 ok; ek_tm4c123gxl unsupported.
A board under a manual hold gives a locked row.
Hardware, on ci.lan at 9a92941 (later commits change only the pin and contract text) with agentrc ac8a8f65; #543's
later commits narrow the ST-LINK exemption (-pwr) and keep an unlogged failure's evidence, neither on these paths:
One run of five boards, in parallel workers: raspberry_pi_pico, stm32f407disco, stm32h743nucleo (+DMA),
stm32g0b1nucleo and stm32u083nucleo. 99 passed, and no ST-LINK board was refused as busy. pico audio_test_freertos failed once (arecord could not open the device) and passed on rerun. No cleanup event was
logged.
Sibling ST-LINK. stm32g0b1nucleo was held, with an STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=swd sn=<g0b1> read loop on
its ST-LINK: 229 sessions during stm32h743nucleo's battery. h743 passed 32/32 with no busy refusal.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
HIL and USB test workflows now use task-scoped board locks and check probe availability before hardware access. Probe checks cover configured flashers and treat inconclusive results as busy. The workflows record cleanup outcomes, including restoration and failures, and report probe-busy refusals and prior cleanup failures. Tests cover admission, task finalization, cleanup behavior, and probe-user filtering.
Possibly related issues
hathach/tinyusb#4442 — The changes route board workflows through hil_lock.board_task and update the agentrc pin, matching part of the issue’s lock-model objective.
hathach/tinyusb#4500 — The changes handle interrupted HIL runs through board-task cleanup verdicts. The issue’s shutdown-ordering fix is not described in this PR.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 3330b
The wedge drill now scans for a surviving probe process before it records a failed flash or an interrupted cleanup. Those failure records carry the probe-holder evidence. No remaining merge-blocking concern was identified.

Summary
Moves HIL board locks to hil_lock.board_task, with probe-busy checks and one cleanup verdict per task.
HIL runs check probe use and record how each board task ends.
A manual USB test run checks probe use and records its cleanup result.
Wedge drills check probe use and keep evidence when cleanup is interrupted.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Preserve pending evidence when verdict submission is interrupted.
If KeyboardInterrupt arrives as this _verdict() call starts, the inner exception handler does not run. Even when BoardTask.__exit__ completes normally, it records its default failed verdict with empty receipts and retained sessions. The known hil_flash.cleanup_pending[name] evidence never reaches the cleanup log. The pinned helper can later resolve that evidence-free failure after a park. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Protect verdict preparation and submission from interruption, or retry submission with pending_evidence() before leaving the task. Cover an interruption before task.failed() stores its verdict.

- Around line 387-390: After the board task is admitted and the lock is taken,
read its open cleanup failures and surface them using the existing
previous-cleanup-failure reporting convention from hil_test.py. Ensure the run’s
JSON verdict includes those failures, while preserving the existing task.errors

- Around line 373-374: Route admission refusals in the run_case admission branch
and wedge_drill.main through run_case.ended() before finishing, so both paths
check whether the task ended cleanly and include task.describe() when needed.
Preserve exit status 2 and, in wedge_drill.main, store the returned message in
report['error'] before calling finish().
Review comments at @.claude/skills/usbtest/scripts/wedge_drill.py:
- Around line 553-556: In the pre-entry exception handlers in
run_case.lock_and_run and wedge_drill.main, return exit code 2 only for
BoardLocked or inconclusive/busy probe results recognized by
hil_flash.busy_refusal. For other pre-entry exceptions, set code 1 and report
the exception, matching the existing post-entry error behavior.
Review comments at @test/hil/hil_test.py:
- Line 2087: Update the busy-check refusal path before admission_refused
returns: check whether the pinned BoardTask ended cleanly, and when finalization
failed, include its describe() details and a CLEANUP_PENDING_CELL in the report
alongside the admission refusal. Preserve the existing admission exception and
clean-finalization behavior.

The provider's probe_users counts every running STM32_Programmer_CLI as a user of
every stlink probe, so a board was refused while a sibling ST-LINK board was
flashing in the same run (stm32g0b1nucleo busy during stm32h743nucleo's flash).

Scan for surviving probe holders before recording these failures.
Two failure paths record a failed task before the survivor scan runs:
When boardState is flash failed, finish_locked returns failed() before the live_children scan. The failure record gets no probe-holder receipt.
In the interrupt handler in drill_locked, probe_evidence(report) reads only probeHeld. That value comes from the scan before cleanup(). A child that the reset starts is not scanned.
The post-kill reap is bounded (HALT_BOUND in wedge_drill.py, and the 5 s reap in run_case.py). A killed child may therefore still be running when the call returns. The module documents that a later restore resolves a logged cleanup failure. A failure recorded without a probe-holder receipt can therefore be resolved while that child may still hold the probe.
Scan before recording the failure:
Suggested fix
- if report['boardState'] == 'flash failed':- return failed()
if not report['halt'].get('probeHeld'):
# whatever path got here, signals included: no probe access past a live child
stuck = live_children(hil_util.REAP_GRACE)
if stuck:
report['halt']['probeHeld'] = stuck[0]
if held := report['halt'].get('probeHeld'):
report['boardState'] = f'unknown, not parked: probe process {held} may still hold the probe (usb-kernel-recover)'
return failed(**probe_evidence(report))
+ if report['boardState'] == 'flash failed':+ return failed()
if not given:
+ if not report['halt'].get('probeHeld'):+ stuck = live_children(hil_util.REAP_GRACE)+ if stuck:+ report['halt']['probeHeld'] = stuck[0]

task.failed(detail=f'{report["boardState"]}: {type(e).__name__}', **probe_evidence(report))

Fixed in 71907c0 (b00992e first wrapped the in-body verdict in an InterruptHold): test_board no longer gives its verdict in the body. _give_verdict is passed to hil_lock.board_task as its collector (test/hil/hil_test.py:2078, :2116) and uses pending_evidence().
The pinned BoardTask (test/hil/agentrc.json) runs the collector under finalization's InterruptHold.
A collector cut short ends the task failed with an unrecheckable receipt marker, so no later park resolves it.
Covered by test_an_interrupt_as_the_verdict_starts_still_logs_the_pending_receipts and test_an_interrupt_as_the_collector_is_called_still_logs_the_pending_receipts (test/hil/test/test_hil_lock.py:518, :521).
Fixed in ba8f565: finish_locked calls note_probe_holder(report) before the flash failed return (.claude/skills/usbtest/scripts/wedge_drill.py:436), and drill_locked's cleanup-interruption handler calls it before re-raising (wedge_drill.py:502). Since 71907c0 the verdict comes from the drill_verdict collector, which passes probe_evidence(report) to task.failed (wedge_drill.py:474).
