Five stacked slice-pipeline bugs that each made the modal's profile picker
theatrical for 3MF inputs:
(1) `_strip_3mf_embedded_settings` removed `model_settings.config` /
`slice_info.config` / `cut_information.xml` along with
`project_settings.config`. The CLI silently exited after
"Initializing StaticPrintConfigs" — exit 0, no result.json — and
Bambuddy masked the failure by re-running with embedded settings
and the source's bound printer. Strip removed from the dispatch
path entirely.
(2) Standard-tier preset stubs lacked the `type` field, so the CLI
rejected `--load-settings` with rc=-5 ("input preset file is
invalid") and the same masking fallback fired. Added
`_SLOT_TO_PROFILE_TYPE` so each stub carries the right
machine/process/filament discriminator.
(3) Sliced-archive cards listed every project-wide AMS slot (16+
swatches for a 2-color print). `slice_and_persist_as_archive` now
reads `filament_type` / `filament_color` from the sliced output's
`slice_info.config` (which `ThreeMFParser` already gates on
`used_g > 0`) instead of inheriting from the source archive.
(4) SliceModal had no warning when the picked printer profile didn't
match the source 3MF — the CLI rejects cross-printer slices
(rc=-16) and fell back to embedded settings, producing wrong-printer
g-code that errored at print dispatch. Plates response now exposes
`source_printer_model`; the modal compares against the picked
profile name and disables Slice + shows an inline warning on
mismatch.
(5) MakerWorld URL-paste resolver listed plate instances without
showing which printer each was sliced for (`/instances/hits`
omits compatibility info that lives on `design.instances[]
.extention.modelInfo`). The resolve route now joins both payloads
by instance ID and forwards `compatibility` + `otherCompatibility`
onto each hit; the MakerWorld page renders "Sliced for {primary}"
+ "Also marked compatible: ..." per row.
Tests: 6 unit tests for `extract_source_printer_model_from_3mf`, 1 for
filtered filament metadata via ThreeMFParser, 2 for makerworld resolve
compat-merge (happy path + missing modelInfo), 3 frontend SliceModal
tests for the printer-mismatch warning + Slice-disabled gate. New i18n
keys `slice.printerMismatch`, `makerworld.slicedFor`,
`makerworld.alsoCompatible` across all 8 locales.
On bare-metal Raspberry Pi OS bookworm / armv7l / Python 3.11, 3MF
files larger than a few megabytes arrived complete via the
virtual-printer FTP server but the copy into data/archives/ was
silently truncated. The archive row was still written, the printer
card looked fine, and the problem only surfaced later when opening
the archive — the subsequent zipfile.ZipFile() in
GET /archives/{id}/plates raised BadZipFile and the UI came up blank
with no thumbnail, plate list, or filament data.
Two things conspired:
1. archive_print() used shutil.copy2, which takes Python's sendfile()
fast path on Linux. On the reporter's kernel/fs combination
sendfile returned a short count on the first call for the upload
sizes hit in practice and the destination ended up truncated.
Small files completed in one syscall and were fine.
2. ThreeMFParser.parse() caught the resulting BadZipFile in a bare
`except Exception: pass`, so the archive pipeline kept going with
empty metadata and left the bad file on disk — nothing in the
logs hinted anything had gone wrong until a support bundle came
in and the "Failed to parse plates" warning fired much later.
The archive copy is now an explicit chunked read/write with fsync —
sendfile is not in the path. After the copy, if the source was a
valid ZIP but the destination isn't, we refuse to create the archive
row, remove only the truncated file (and the archive directory if
empty — archive_dir is created with exist_ok=True so rmtree would be
unsafe if a same-second same-filename collision happened), and log
both sizes at ERROR so the condition is obvious in future support
bundles. The parser's silent catch now logs at WARNING for the same
reason.
All nine archive_print() call sites already check `if archive:` or
`if not archive:`, so returning None for corrupted ZIPs propagates
cleanly without behaviour changes elsewhere.
Regression tests cover single-chunk and multi-chunk copies, mtime
preservation via copystat, overwrite of an existing destination, a
ZIP roundtrip through a multi-megabyte 3MF, the new parser WARNING,
and a truncation sentinel verifying that zipfile.is_zipfile() flips
to False on a half-written ZIP — the exact post-condition
archive_print now trusts.
