Pairs the top-down plate preview with the slicer's per-object pick mask
(Metadata/pick_N.png), whose pixel colours encode the same identify_id the
firmware's skip command takes, so a click resolves to a real object rather
than an inferred bounding box. Several objects can be selected before one
confirmation; selected and already-skipped items are highlighted on the
plate; the checklist stays available when no mask exists.
view=pick serves only the active plate's mask and 404s otherwise, unlike
every other view. A render returned in a mask's place would be decoded as
object IDs — dark pixels yield small integers that collide with real ones —
and a click would then skip an arbitrary object, mid-print, irreversibly.
The 404 is what tells the UI to fall back to the checklist.
Click mapping goes through the contained rect, since the canvas paints at
mask resolution under object-contain; clicks on a letterbox bar are rejected
rather than clamped onto whichever object touches the border. Confirming
names the object when one is selected and counts them when several are,
which is what plates of identically-named clones need.
No printer-control command path was added or changed; the layer, permission
and existing skip-command guards are untouched.
Slicing for a P2S failed with "filament preset Bambu PLA Basic @BBL X1C 0.2
nozzle (slot 1) is not compatible with printer Bambu Lab P2S 0.4 nozzle" —
naming a profile shown nowhere in the dialog. The picked profile was
"Overture PLA Matte @0.2", whose inheritance chain roots in that X1C profile.
The dialog classifies a profile by its compatible_printers list and falls back
to reading the printer out of its name. That name carries no model, and the
list — present on the imported copy — is not shipped by every source: Bambu
Cloud omits it deliberately (rate limits), and Orca Cloud shipped it but
Bambuddy only mined filament type and colour from the same content.
Orca Cloud entries now carry their own compatible_printers, and the existing
same-name enrichment bridge carries the list onto entries that lack one, in
both directions between the cloud tiers. A bare "@<size>" name tag is read as
a nozzle size as a last resort: it can rule a printer out but never rules one
in, and implausible values are ignored rather than guessed at.
An end-of-print auto-off on a plug that powers a filter fan marked the linked
printer offline and forced its state to "unknown". The mark was unrecoverable:
connected heals on the next MQTT message but state does not (only frames
carrying gcode_state rewrite it, and steady-state push_status frames are
partial), so the printer stayed "unknown" until a manual Force Refresh and the
queue never dispatched to it again.
The offline mark is now an explicit presumption: mark_power_off records the
state it overwrites and _on_message undoes it as soon as the printer sends
another report on its own topic, since inbound traffic proves the power was
never cut. A reconnect discards the saved state, so a genuine power cut is
unaffected. Each plug also gains a controls_printer_power flag (default true,
backfilled) that gates all five power-off paths, and the queue's power-on step
now picks the flagged plug instead of whichever linked plug came first.
The A2L reports its 4-slot AMS Lite as unit id 16, but its slot-presence
bitmasks sit at bit base 24 (id 6) and it reports tray_now as a local 0-3
slot. Fed the raw id 16, the ams_id*4+slot convention probed bits 64-67
(always zero) and marked loaded slots empty; the local tray_now was read as
global, so usage deducted from the wrong spool (or not at all); and the
ams_id<=7 DB constraint rejected id-16 Spoolman links.
Normalise the Lite 16->6 at the MQTT ingest boundary so global tray ids land
at 24-27 - matching the firmware's own bit base, working with every existing
ams_id*4+slot consumer, colliding with nothing, and passing the DB
constraint. Globalise tray_now to 24+slot, widen the valid-tray guards, label
the unit "AMS Lite", and build the confirmed ams_mapping2 {ams_id:16,
slot_id:0-3} / flat 0-3 for dispatch. Outbound slot commands translate 6->16
on the wire via a single helper. Self-scoping: only unit id 16 is touched, so
all other printers/AMS types are unaffected. One uncaptured wire field (the
physical global tray on load/cali) is extrapolated and isolated to the helper.
Assigning a spool to an AMS tray pushed ams_filament_setting +
extrusion_cali_sel and reported success immediately, whether or not the
tray accepted it. A silently-dropped assignment never surfaced, and since
a print only deducts from the spool on the exact tray it pulls from, it
also recorded no filament usage - which made the whole thing feel random.
Read the AMS telemetry back after every assign (inventory assign_spool and
the Configure Slot modal) and toast the outcome: loaded when the tray
echoes the pushed tray_info_idx, a warning when the filament loaded but the
K-profile (cali_idx) did not, or not-confirmed after ~30s. Verification
uses the periodic per-tray push (the command ack hardcodes sequence_id 0
and can't be correlated); an on-demand pushall is nudged so it lands
quickly. Covers regular AMS, AMS-HT and external slots; stays silent rather
than inventing a failure if the printer goes quiet. The read-back check
runs on every AMS push because the change-hash excludes tray_info_idx.
Bed levelling, flow calibration, and nozzle-offset calibration were on/off
only, so the sole way to run bed levelling was to force a full level before
every print. Bambu Studio has always offered a third "Auto" state that lets
the printer skip the calibration when it was done recently -- the state most
users actually want. Make these three options tri-state (off/on/auto),
defaulting to auto, and leave vibration/layer-inspect/timelapse as on/off
(Bambu Studio exposes no auto for those).
Wire encoding follows Bambu Studio's source exactly: each option sends a JSON
bool (true only for "on") plus a companion int -- off=0, on=1, auto=2. The
bool fields stay booleans (the #1478 H2S regression); only the companion int
widened from {0,1} to {0,1,2}. #1721's observation that stage 8/39 stays
queued when sending 2 is the auto contract (queued, skipped at runtime if
recent), not a broken "off".
- schemas: TriState = Literal[off/on/auto] with a BeforeValidator coercing
legacy bool / 0-1 / true-false so old clients and un-migrated rows validate
- model + migration: boolean columns -> String; SQLite via column affinity +
data backfill, PostgreSQL via ALTER COLUMN TYPE guarded on information_schema
(verified on both dialects); settings rows normalised true/false -> on/off
- MQTT: start_print takes the tri-state strings and emits the paired bool+int
- Virtual Printer: reconstructs the slicer's auto/on/off from the int companion
(auto_bed_leveling / extrude_cali_flag) in both capture paths
- frontend: CalibrationMode type; off/auto/on segmented controls in the print
dialog, queue bulk-edit, and Settings -> Workflow; calibrationMode_* strings
in all 11 locales
The /overlay/{id} route renders without a login, but everything it draws is
auth-gated: printer status and name (PRINTERS_READ), one setting (SETTINGS_READ),
and the camera stream (a camera-stream token). A signed-in browser rides its JWT
from local storage; OBS is a fresh browser with no session, so the overlay stayed
blank whenever authentication was enabled. Cloudflare/remote access was never the
cause -- an incognito window fails identically.
Give the overlay a self-contained kiosk-token mode, mirroring the Cam Wall:
- New `overlay` long-lived-token scope, kept separate from `camwall`: the overlay
names the printed file on screen, which a Cam Wall token is trusted never to
expose, so folding it in would silently widen every existing wall token.
- New token-authed GET /printers/{id}/overlay-status returning exactly the fields
the overlay draws and nothing else; added to the auth-middleware allowlist so it
reaches its own RequireOverlayTokenIfAuthEnabled gate.
- StreamOverlayPage reads ?token= and, in that mode, authenticates its status and
camera calls with the token and skips the WebSocket (the 2s poll is the feed).
The logged-in path is unchanged.
- Token-mint UI (Settings > API Keys) offers the scope with a ready-made
/overlay/{id}?token= URL copied once on creation.
A queue row stays status='pending' for the whole FTP upload; status only flips
to 'printing' at the end. The edit routes only blocked non-pending rows, so a
PATCH during the upload window was accepted while the in-flight dispatch kept
using its snapshotted printer -- splitting the queue row from the archive /
expected-print / physical command across two printers, and enabling a duplicate
dispatch on restart. The #1853 CAS guards cancellation, not reassignment.
Add a dispatching_at claim, stamped atomically (WHERE status='pending' AND
dispatching_at IS NULL) before any slow I/O and cleared on every exit. While
held, the single-item PATCH returns 409 (re-checked just before the write),
bulk edits skip the row, and the scheduler won't re-select it. Startup
reconciliation clears claims orphaned by a crash mid-dispatch. The row stays
pending throughout, so no status/UI/completion/reconciliation path changes.
New column print_queue.dispatching_at (nullable, dialect-safe DDL). Covered by
scheduler tests (claim exclusivity, non-pending rejection, release-on-exit,
skip-already-claimed, startup stale-clear) and API tests (reassign 409,
printer_id unchanged, bulk skip, unclaimed row still edits).
Server-side slicing always applied the picked printer/process/filament
triplet via --load-settings, which overrides the designer's embedded
project_settings.config — so a MakerWorld model set up for 5 walls came
out at the picked profile's default 2. That override is correct for
re-slicing a design onto your own printer/AMS, but there was no way to
slice a file the way its author configured it.
SliceModal now offers a "Use the file's built-in settings" checkbox when
the source 3MF carries embedded settings AND the picked printer matches
the design's target model. It routes to the existing embedded-settings
slice path (previously only a crash fallback), so walls/infill/filament
come from the file. Ticking it locks all four preset dropdowns — printer
included, since it's unused on this path and changing it would drop the
match and hide the toggle. The printer-match gate stops embedded settings
being honoured across models (wrong bed); there is no cross-printer
re-targeting on this path.
- schema: use_embedded_settings on SliceRequest
- route: embedded_mode branch; crash-fallback guarded against re-running
- frontend: gated checkbox locking all four dropdowns, resets on mismatch
- 2 i18n keys across all 11 locales
- tests: backend (flag skips triplet / ignored for STL) + frontend
(toggle offered on match, locks dropdowns + sends flag / hidden on mismatch)
A print queued from a specific plate of a multi-plate 3MF showed as Plate 1
in Print History after cancellation: the archive derives its plate from the
filename, but a whole multi-plate 3MF uploads under one name with no plate
suffix, so the parser defaulted to plate 1 and nothing copied the queue
item's plate_id onto the archive (which had no plate field).
Add a nullable print_archives.plate_id, copy it from the queue item at
dispatch (archive- and library-file paths), expose it in the archive API,
and render it in Print History. A startup backfill copies the plate onto
existing archives from their linked queue rows. Column add + backfill are
identical on SQLite and Postgres.
Also fix a related lifecycle bug: stopping a printing item while the printer
was offline left the linked archive stuck at "printing" (queue row
cancelled, but no MQTT completion ever arrives to reconcile the archive).
The offline-stop path now closes the archive out directly; the online path
still defers to the MQTT completion event.
The Configure AMS Slot modal sends built-in / local / Orca-generic presets
with a GF* tray_info_idx but an empty setting_id, and configure_ams_slot
forwarded that empty value to ams_filament_setting. The firmware treats a
filament-id-without-setting-id slot as half configured: it shows the new
material briefly, then reverts to its previously stored profile.
Back-fill setting_id from the resolved tray_info_idx via
filament_id_to_setting_id when the client sent none (e.g. GFB99 -> GFSB99),
mirroring the derivation the inventory/assignment path already does. Doing
it server-side also protects API callers and future frontends. P* user
presets and already-GFS* values are left unchanged, and an explicit
setting_id still passes through untouched.
Three more idle-in-transaction / thundering-herd paths from farm testing:
- print_scheduler: _start_print commits before the FTP delete/upload and
_preheat_and_soak commits before the heat-soak wait, so the per-item
session no longer sits idle-in-transaction across preheat + upload.
- cloud/filament-info: rollback the request transaction after the token
read and before the sequential Bambu Cloud calls; single-flight
concurrent misses for the same setting_id through one shared call.
- printers/cover: coalesce identical in-flight cover requests so followers
serve from the cache the leader fills instead of duplicating the
multi-path FTP + 3MF extraction.
Also adds pool_use_lifo (PostgreSQL default on, DB_POOL_USE_LIFO override,
shown in /system/db-pool) so a bursty farm keeps a small hot connection set.
Two or three concurrent UI logins exhausted the PostgreSQL pool on the
reporter's 93-printer farm: QueuePool limit of size 10 overflow 20 reached,
with all 30 sessions idle in transaction on the auth_enabled SELECT. Three
regressions had landed on dev after an earlier configurable-pool change was
reverted and never re-applied (only the route-by-route session fixes were).
- Pool sizing is env-configurable again (DB_POOL_SIZE / DB_MAX_OVERFLOW /
DB_POOL_TIMEOUT / DB_POOL_RECYCLE); the PostgreSQL default returns to
20 + 80 with pool_pre_ping and pool_recycle=1800, and GET
/api/v1/system/db-pool reports resolved config + live gauges without
checking out a connection. SQLite unchanged (20 + 200).
- is_auth_enabled caches for 30s again. Only enabled=True is ever cached, so
a stale read can only fail closed (require auth), never open; set_auth_enabled
invalidates immediately. An autouse test fixture resets the module cache
between tests to keep ordering deterministic.
- Every authenticated request checked out two pooled connections: the
permission dependency held one and the revoked-jti check opened another.
is_jti_revoked now reuses the caller's session; the token dependencies and
the auth-middleware gateway were restructured to open one session and pass
it in, so each request makes a single checkout.
The firmware's runout HMS text says "insert into the same AMS slot", which is
wrong under AMS Filament Backup: the firmware won't re-accept the depleted slot
and advances to the next compatible one. Bambuddy parsed print.ams.tray_now only
and dropped tray_tar/tray_pre, so the expected slot never reached the UI.
Capture tray_tar/tray_pre on PrinterState and, while paused, resolve them to
global tray IDs (expected_tray/previous_tray) on both the REST and WebSocket
status payloads via a shared resolver: single-AMS passthrough, multi-AMS
snow-mapping resolution, AMS-HT/external passthrough, and an honest null when the
slot can't be placed. The AMS graphic highlights the expected slot (amber) and
the ran-out slot (red); the HMS modal re-describes runout codes to name both,
falling back to "check the printer" when unresolved. Runout copy translated in
all 11 locales.
Reporter @Jostxxl confirmed tray_pre=1/tray_tar=2 during the pause (ran out in
Slot 2, printer expected Slot 3).
reconcile_stale_active_prints closes out stale status="printing" archives by
synthesising an aborted on_print_complete, which logged a PrintLogEntry whose
duration was completed_at - started_at — the whole multi-day disconnect gap,
since a reconciled archive's real end time is unknown. Across a farm of stale
rows this inflated Total Print Time by hundreds of hours, and the Stats total
recomputed the same value from the timestamps even when duration was NULL/0.
Reconciled completions now log duration_seconds=0, the two Stats time paths
trust a stored 0 instead of recomputing, and reconciled aborts get an honest
"Stale - reconciled ..." failure_reason instead of "User cancelled". Genuine
long prints are untouched (no cap; still-running >24h prints aren't stale).
The remaining routes of the idle-in-transaction class: the file-manager,
storage, camera-snapshot and timelapse routes each took their printer row
via Depends(get_db) and then talked FTP/camera on the same held session, so
a farm dashboard polling cover/snapshot tiles (offline printers included)
crept the pool to exhaustion over ~23h. They now read in a short session and
release before the I/O; timelapse re-opens a fresh session only for the write.
Also caps the four bare-executor FTP helpers with asyncio.wait_for so a
saturated 48-worker pool can't pin a caller (and its DB connection)
indefinitely, and runs the synchronous smtplib send off the event loop with
an explicit timeout so a wedged relay can't freeze the loop.
GET /printers/{id}/cover took its printer row via Depends(get_db), whose
yield-dependency session stays open for the whole request — including the
3MF cover download (up to 8 remote paths x retries with backoff, minutes
under FTP contention). One pooled connection sat idle-in-transaction the
entire time; on a large farm a wall of dashboards drained the pool. The
route now fetches the printer in a short-lived async_session() and releases
the connection before the download (expire_on_commit=False keeps printer.*
readable). Pinned by a signature-inspection guard that fails if get_db is
ever re-added.
fix(print-start): release the DB connection across plate detection and 3MF download (#2572)
on_print_start held one session from top to bottom of the handler, across
two slow I/O blocks that need no database: the plate-detection camera grab
and, on the new-archive path, the multi-path 3MF FTP download (its own
comments cite worst cases of tens of minutes). The connection sat idle-in-
transaction for both, once per starting print. It now commits at each
boundary — only read SELECTs have run on those paths (every write branch
returns earlier), so the commit persists nothing and simply returns the
connection to the pool for the I/O; the next query re-acquires, and
expire_on_commit=False keeps printer.* readable.
fix(startup): connect to printers concurrently so the API serves within seconds (#2572)
init_printer_connections awaited each printer's connection serially, and
connect_printer ends in a fixed 1s settle wait. The MQTT connect is non-
blocking (connect_async + loop_start), so that 1s x fleet size was pure
serial dead air the FastAPI lifespan blocked on before uvicorn began
serving — ~100s before port 8000 responded on a 93-printer farm. The
connections are now started with asyncio.gather, so the step takes ~1s
regardless of fleet size. return_exceptions=True isolates each result: one
unreachable printer no longer aborts the rest, or startup itself.
The Queue listing serialized each item by opening its 3MF and re-parsing
slice_info.config three times (print time, filament usage, bed type) on
every poll, per connected client, even for unchanged files. Add a single
combined extract_plate_metadata_from_3mf() cached by (path, plate_id,
mtime_ns, size); the three legacy helpers delegate to it. An unchanged
queue now does no repeat 3MF parsing.
OrcaSlicer shipped a first-class external-app pairing API (OAuth 2.0 Device
Authorization Grant), so the Supabase-PKCE copy-paste flow is replaced end to
end. Connecting is now: click Connect, approve a short code on the Orca Cloud
settings page, done — no redirect, no callback paste, no client secret, works
from a LAN IP / localhost / behind a proxy.
Backend: services/orca_cloud.py rewritten to device-code request + poll (the
four RFC outcomes) + refresh_token grant + introspection + external sync pull;
routes expose /device/start and /device/poll (device_code kept server-side in
the reused orca_cloud_pending_* columns, no migration). Requests sync:read
(read-only feature). Prod endpoint by default, ORCA_CLOUD_API_BASE overrides
to staging. Wired the shared httpx client (fixes a per-request socket leak).
Frontend: device-code connect UI + api client methods; all 11 locales updated.
After an RTSP read timeout the stream cleanup killed the stalled ffmpeg
and then awaited process.wait() unbounded. A SIGKILLed ffmpeg stuck in
uninterruptible I/O on a dead RTSP socket can take arbitrarily long to
be reaped, so the fan-out stream coroutine sat parked in that wait (12
hours in the reported case) while every new viewer attached to the
stalled broadcaster and received no frames.
Bound the post-kill wait to 2s in all three places it existed: the
stream generator's _terminate_ffmpeg (the reported hang), the camera
stop endpoint (which would hang the recovery request itself; now uses
the shared helper instead of an inline copy), and the orphan-cleanup
janitor (whose hang would disable the safety net). On timeout the
zombie is abandoned; the janitor's /proc scan reaps it next pass and
the stream proceeds to its normal reconnect.
A queue item's "Any <model>" button labeled itself from the file's slice
metadata while the scheduler used the row's target_model, so an X1C-sliced
item targeting H2D showed "Any X1C" above "assign to first idle H2D". The
mismatch itself was created silently: sliced-for metadata loads async, and
switching to model mode before it arrived pre-selected the alphabetically
first model (H2D on a mixed farm), after which the model dropdown hid
itself. Nothing validated compatibility, so the scheduler would hand X1C
G-code to an H2D.
Frontend: never default the target silently, keep the dropdown visible in
model mode (incompatible models disabled), label from the actual target,
warn on mismatch, block submit when incompatible.
Backend: new GCODE_COMPAT_FAMILIES table (X1/X1C/X1E/P1P/P1S interchange;
everything else exact-match; missing metadata never blocks). Queue create
and update reject incompatible targets with 400; the scheduler holds back
pre-existing mismatched rows with an actionable waiting_reason instead of
dispatching them.
Manual jog could drive an axis past its travel limit into a collision.
Instrumenting the exact G-code to an H2D showed Bambuddy sending a clean
move at the limit (G91 / G1 Z-1.00 F600 / G90, no M211) that the printer
ran straight past, while its own touchscreen refuses the identical move.
This is a Bambu firmware bug: soft endstops are not enforced on G-code
received over MQTT, and no axis position is reported, so the move cannot
be clamped firmware- or client-side from position.
Two changes: (1) jogs no longer wrap moves in M211 S0/S1 — that disabled
the firmware's soft endstops globally, breaking even the touchscreen's
limits until a power cycle; a bare move keeps the touchscreen protected.
(2) The jog panel shows a prominent warning that travel limits are not
enforced during manual moves due to the firmware bug. Client-side
dead-reckoning enforcement is tracked separately.
/camera/stream took its printer row via Depends(get_db). get_db is a
yield dependency, so its session stayed open until the response body
finished streaming — for a live MJPEG stream, as long as the browser
tab is open (hours). Every open camera tile pinned one pooled DB
connection idle-in-transaction, draining the pool on large farms.
Fetch the printer in a short-lived async_session() and release the
connection before returning the StreamingResponse. expire_on_commit=
False keeps the already-loaded columns readable during the stream.
Large PostgreSQL farms exhausted the fixed pool (pool_size=10 +
max_overflow=20): with ~93 printers every connection sat idle in
transaction and unrelated requests waited out the 30s pool timeout or
failed in the auth middleware.
- Make pool sizing env-configurable (DB_POOL_SIZE / DB_MAX_OVERFLOW /
DB_POOL_TIMEOUT / DB_POOL_RECYCLE); raise the Postgres default to
20 + 80 with pool_pre_ping + pool_recycle=1800.
- Cache the auth_enabled probe (30s) to drop a per-request DB round-trip.
Only enabled=True is cached, so staleness fails closed; set_auth_enabled
invalidates immediately.
- Add GET /api/v1/system/db-pool exposing resolved config + live
checked_out/checked_in/overflow gauges without consuming a connection.
Session-hygiene (connections held across MQTT/FTP/camera/3MF I/O) is a
separate follow-up.
An expired token was indistinguishable from a working one. set_token()
stamped token_expiry = now + 30 days every time a stored token was loaded,
so the expiry reset on every request and is_authenticated could never
return False. /cloud/status answered "connected" for as long as any token
existed, while every cloud call 401'd — and the user was shown Bambu's own
{"error": "Please login."} verbatim.
Bambu is now the authority: /cloud/status validates the token upstream
(cached 5m), and any 401 from any authenticated call durably records the
credential as dead via users.cloud_token_invalid_at, so MakerWorld, cloud
profiles, slicer presets and firmware checks all agree at once. An
unreachable Bambu is treated as unknown, never as expired, so an outage
cannot sign a working session out.
The user-facing message now names the Profiles page, where the Bambu Cloud
sign-in actually lives; the old text pointed at a Settings page that does
not exist. Same stale path corrected in the wiki.
The reporter's 19-printer farm started prints "one by one", up to an hour apart.
check_queue awaited each dispatch inline, and a dispatch includes the FTP upload,
so every printer queued behind every other printer's transfer despite being an
independent machine. His logs give the arithmetic: 40978500 bytes in 254.1s,
157 KB/s - a Bambu printer's SD write, not the network, is the bottleneck. Nineteen
of those in series is ~80 minutes, and the next upload started 131 ms after the
previous one finished. The delay is linear in fleet size, which is why it got worse
the more printers he selected.
Dispatch is now collected during the (still sequential) selection loop and run
concurrently afterwards, capped by queue_max_concurrent_uploads - Settings ->
Workflow -> Queue & Dispatch, default 4, 1 restores the old behaviour. Every gate
is untouched; only the transfers overlap. The pass still awaits its uploads before
returning: _start_print flips the row pending -> printing only after the upload,
so an early return would let the next tick re-dispatch the same rows.
FTP work moves to its own thread pool. It was on asyncio's default executor -
min(32, cpu+4), six threads on a 2-core NAS, shared with everything else - which
was survivable only while uploads were serial.
Two problems the same bundle exposed:
A printer that accepts project_file but never starts (#1678) was retried forever:
270s watchdog, revert to pending, re-upload the whole file, repeat. Hence his
"printer who, since the morning, still not launch" - and on a farm each lap also
eats an upload slot the other printers are waiting on. Attempts are now counted on
the queue item; after three it fails with a message pointing at the printer instead
of queueing a fourth re-upload.
The debug bundle we asked him for held 4m49s of history. The push_status dumps fired
on every frame rather than on change - several while their own comment claimed
otherwise - which is 27,727 of the bundle's 29,830 lines and rolls 5 MB in under five
minutes on 19 printers. They now log transitions only. The bundle also read just the
live log while three rotated backups sat next to it, under a byte budget four times
larger than the file it was reading.
Migration verified on SQLite and Postgres: idempotent, backfills legacy NULLs
(dispatch_attempts + 1 is NULL for a NULL row, which would silently disable the cap).
Tests: 6 on concurrent dispatch (overlap, cap honoured, 1 == serial, default applies
with no settings row, a failed printer does not cancel its siblings, no early return),
4 on the retry budget, 6 on the bundle's rotated-log span, 7 on the debug gating.
Each verified to fail against the unfixed code - the first end-to-end log assertion I
wrote passed without the fix and had to be tightened.
Queueing several plates of one 3MF built a single filament-override list from
every selected plate and posted that same list with each plate's item. A
force_color_match entry blocks dispatch until the printer has that exact colour
loaded, so a single-colour plate waited on the whole batch's palette. The same
shared list also widened required_filament_types, making a PLA plate refuse
every printer that lacked a sibling plate's PETG.
Narrow the overrides to the slots the plate actually consumes, on create and on
update -- in the backend, where the 3MF is, so it holds for every writer of the
queue. Dispatch already re-parsed requirements per plate and keyed overrides by
slot, so the dropped entries were inert there. When the plate's slots cannot be
read the overrides are kept whole: an item waiting on a colour it does not need
is visible, one that silently lost a forced colour prints in the wrong filament.
Items queued before this would stay stuck with a waiting reason that explains
nothing, so a startup migration re-scopes the pending ones. Printing and
finished items keep their overrides -- that is a record of what they dispatched
with, not an instruction.
The edit dialog is shared between the projects list and the project detail
page and seeds itself from whichever project object it is handed. The list
payload never carried tags, due_date or priority, so editing from the list
showed a blank tags field -- and, unreported, submitted the dialog's default
priority over a stored high/urgent one. The component read those fields
through a cast, so the compiler never flagged that they were always absent.
Put them on ProjectListResponse and ProjectListItem, drop the casts, and let
an explicit null clear tags and due date the way it already clears budget and
url -- an emptied field was previously sent as undefined and silently reverted.
The template list was missing target_parts_count, which the same dialog edits.
Nightly backups to a mounted NAS share ran from May and then stopped, failing
with [Errno 30] Read-only file system. The reporter checked folder permissions
-- correctly: the mount is gid=backup,dir_mode=0775, the service user is in that
group, and his own shell writes to the share fine.
Errno 30 is EROFS. A permission problem is errno 13. EROFS means the filesystem
refused the write, and it refused because we told it to: our systemd unit ships
ProtectSystem=strict, which mounts everything read-only inside the service's
mount namespace and carves back out only ReadWritePaths=<install> <data> <logs>.
A NAS share is not one of those three. Reads are unaffected -- which is why the
UI happily listed his existing backups from the share while being unable to
write a new one -- and his shell is outside the namespace entirely, so every
check he could think to run said the directory was fine.
Both installers write the unit file wholesale, so a ReadWritePaths line added by
hand disappeared on the next install, taking the backups with it. They now back
the old unit up (.bak-<timestamp>) and carry the operator's extra writable paths
forward, reporting which ones they kept. The unit template documents the
carve-out.
The output directory is probed with a real write when it is saved and when the
backup card loads, so an unwritable path is caught there rather than at 03:00
for a week. On failure the card names the cause and hands over the fix with the
operator's path already in it (systemctl edit bambuddy -> ReadWritePaths=...),
and a failed run reports the same diagnosis rather than the raw OSError. EROFS
outside systemd, permission-denied, out-of-space, not-a-directory and missing are
told apart, in all 11 locales.
Docker: a backup path that is not bind-mounted is writable -- the write lands in
the container's ephemeral layer and is lost on the next compose up. The probe
compares the directory's device against the container root and warns, with the
compose snippet that mounts it properly.
A Shelly reports one energy figure — aenergy.total, a lifetime counter in Wh
that never resets. Bambuddy had a single REST energy field and filed whatever
it found under "today", so the value never reset at midnight, and Yesterday
and Total stayed at zero: get_energy() simply never set those keys.
With `total` unpopulated, the hourly snapshot recorder skipped the plug, so
the Statistics page's energy figure was zero as well, not just the Settings
card.
Split the REST energy config in two: rest_energy_path still means "used
today", rest_energy_total_path means "lifetime counter". A Shelly has only
the latter; a Tasmota behind a REST bridge has both; sharing a URL costs one
fetch, not two.
Then derive Today and Yesterday from that counter using the snapshots we were
already taking: today = counter now - counter at the last local midnight;
yesterday = the gap between the two previous midnights. Local midnight, not
UTC — a UTC boundary rolls Today over at 02:00 in Berlin. The snapshot loop
now ticks on the local hour so a reading lands on the boundary instead of up
to an hour early. A counter that goes backwards (factory reset) reports
nothing rather than a negative.
Collateral, found while verifying on both engines: the smart-plug DateTime
columns are naive UTC but the code wrote aware datetimes into them. SQLite
drops the offset; asyncpg raises DataError. So on Postgres every snapshot
capture raised inside the loop's except, and every status poll raised on
last_checked — the whole subsystem was dead on the database we recommend for
multi-printer installs. All plug timestamps are naive UTC now.
Existing REST users with a cumulative path in the today field must move it to
the new lifetime field; the form and wiki now name which counter each wants.
Cam Wall had no URL — the only way in was the toggle on the Printers page,
so it could not be bookmarked, linked, or shown on a wall-mounted screen.
Add a standalone /camwall route. Signed in, it is the wall as it was. For a
TV or Pi with no login, it authenticates with a long-lived token in the URL.
A kiosk needs the printer list and per-printer status, both of which sit
behind PRINTERS_READ. Rather than widen camera_stream to cover GET /printers
— whose response carries serial_number and ip_address, which have no business
on a screen in a shared room — add a read-only feed at
GET /api/v1/camwall/printers that serves only what a tile draws, and gate it
on a new camwall token scope. The print filename is not served at all: a token
wall renders the compact overlay, so the part on the bed is never named.
The scope is separate rather than a widening: camera_stream tokens are already
in the wild, minted to hand out video, and must not gain the ability to
enumerate a fleet by name. camera_stream is refused by the feed; camwall
passes the stream gate so its own tiles fill.
Kiosk walls drop the settings popover and click-through entirely (not merely
hidden — a passive screen must carry no focusable control it cannot act on),
cap the overlay at compact, and poll rather than open a WebSocket. maxLive,
interval and status can be set from the URL, clamped to the popover's ranges.
The reporter found what his P1S was doing, and it is in Bambu's P1 manual:
"P1S connected AMS drying functions may only be controlled from the P1S screen."
The firmware acks ams_filament_drying with result: success and then discards it,
which is why three commands on an idle printer left the AMS 2 Pro at dry_status 0.
No command can start a cycle on a P1, on any firmware, so don't offer one.
supports_drying() now excludes the P1 series outright, replacing the 01.08+ gate
carried since #292 — that version is when P1 firmware gained AMS 2 Pro support,
not remote drying, and it was never checked against a live P1. Both drying routes
refuse with a specific 400 instead of publishing a message the printer will drop;
queue and ambient auto-drying skip P1s via the same helper.
A new drying_screen_only flag keeps the control on the card, disabled, saying why
— a P1 owner needs to learn where to dry, not watch the button disappear. A cycle
started at the printer still shows with its countdown; only Stop goes away, since
a P1 ignores stop exactly as it ignores start.
Also corrects the wiki firmware matrix, which listed P1P/P1S as supported and
(separately) P2S/H2S/H2C as unsupported. 8 tests.
extract_printable_objects_from_3mf() has accepted a plate_number since it was
written and no caller ever passed one, so it took root.find(".//plate") — the
first plate in the file. Passing one would not have helped either: the lookup
was .//plate[@plate_idx='N'], a predicate on an attribute neither Bambu Studio
nor OrcaSlicer writes. The index lives in a <metadata key="index"> child, as
threemf_tools and filament_requirements already read it, so the selector never
matched and fell back to plate 1 regardless.
On an all-plates .gcode.3mf that meant Skip Objects offered the wrong plate's
objects, with that plate's marker positions drawn over the correct plate's
thumbnail (/cover resolves the plate properly via resolve_plate_id, the object
list did not). The reporter printed a one-object plate and was shown the four
copies from another plate of the same file.
Select the plate on its index metadata, and pass resolve_plate_id(state) at all
three call sites so the list and the thumbnail share one resolver. Also stop
peek_plate_index_in_3mf() reporting plate 1 for a multi-plate file: it backs the
running one, so an all-plates upload printing plate 2+ lost its archive entirely.
Failed to get cloud preset ... 400 {"message":"missing"} is the expected
answer, not a fault: many official presets are only addressable with a
printer-variant suffix (GFSL05 exists solely as GFSL05_07 @BBL A1), and
personal P-prefixed presets belong to the account that sliced the file.
Phase 3 already resolves both from local presets, so the lookup miss is
routine -- and one WARNING per AMS tray per tooltip refresh teaches
operators to ignore the log.
BambuCloudError now carries the upstream status_code. The preset lookup
logs HTTP 400 at DEBUG; expired tokens, 5xx and transport failures stay
at WARNING.
Not fixed here: resolving the variant suffix. It selects a printer profile
and the response carries that profile's pressure_advance, so guessing a
suffix would report another printer's K value.
get_stored_token() reads the global Settings rows when auth is disabled and
User.cloud_token when it is enabled, so completing /auth/setup switched which
store the /cloud/* routes consult without moving the token. An account linked
before enabling auth was stranded: build_authenticated_cloud() returned None,
get_filament_info() skipped its cloud phase and answered 200 from local
fallbacks, and /cloud/devices began returning 401 -- all silently.
setup_auth() now migrates the global token onto the owning admin and deletes
the global rows; disable_auth() mirrors the hand-off back. Neither guesses:
setup migrates only when it creates the admin or exactly one exists, disable
declines to overwrite an existing global token. Region survives both hops.
Instances that already crossed the transition must re-link once.
Under `from __future__ import annotations` the `-> None` return annotation
reaches FastAPI as the string "None", which resolves to NoneType -- truthy,
so APIRoute asserts a 204 may carry no response body and the app fails to
import. fastapi >= 0.116 guards against this; the 0.109-0.115 releases
requirements.txt still allows do not.
A spool with no readable RFID was reported by the standard AMS with an empty
tray_type and state=9 — structurally identical to a truly-empty slot at the
tray level — so the AMS card rendered it "Empty" while Bambu Studio correctly
showed "?". The authoritative "a spool is physically here" signal is firmware's
AMS-level tray_exist_bits bitmask (what Studio uses), but Bambuddy inferred
emptiness from the per-tray state/tray_type. Confirmed from the reporter's
bundle: tray_exist_bits=f (all four slots present) with tray_is_bbl_bits=5
(only slots 0,2 Bambu) — the present-but-non-Bambu slots were the ones shown
Empty. Supersedes closed#1838.
apply_tray_exist_bits() already parses the bitmask to clear stale fields on
absent slots; it now also annotates each slot with an authoritative `exists`
bool, gated behind a new annotate_exists flag so only the printer-card path
sets it. The VP bridge leaves it off, so the `exists` key never reaches the
slicer wire format. `exists` flows through the AMSTray schema/serialization to
the frontend, where getEmptySlotKind() uses it: exists===true + no tray_type
-> "?" (present, unconfigured), exists===false -> "Empty", exists absent ->
the previous state=9/10 heuristic (AMS-HT and missing-bitmask paths unchanged).
H2D/X1C already reported present-unknown slots with a non-9 state and took the
"?" path; with the fix they reach it via `exists` and are unaffected.
On a PostgreSQL install, create_backup_zip() exports a portable SQLite copy
so backups move between engines. It rebuilt each table with only column name
+ type + PK, dropping NOT NULL, server_default/DEFAULT, foreign keys, and
unique constraints. Restore onto SQLite page-copies that schema straight onto
the live database, and post-restore init_db() can't repair it (create_all is
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS). So server_default columns like
spoolbuddy_devices.created_at (server_default=func.now()) ended up with no
DEFAULT: SQLAlchemy omits them on INSERT, the DB wrote NULL, and the next read
500'd on Pydantic validation. Every server_default column was exposed the same
way; the FK/unique loss followed from the same simplified CREATE TABLE.
Build the portable schema with Base.metadata.create_all() against a SQLite
engine instead of the hand-rolled loop, so it emits the exact DDL a native
SQLite install gets (NOT NULL, DEFAULT func.now() -> CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, FKs,
unique constraints, indexes). The data-export insert path is unchanged, and
the #1333 OIDC-icon guard is preserved automatically (LargeBinary -> BLOB),
which lets the now-redundant _sqlalchemy_type_to_sqlite_type() helper be
removed. Fixes newly-created backups; a backup from an older build still
carries the degraded schema, so re-take backups after upgrading.
Replace the #1333 type-mapping unit tests with three that inspect the real
backup schema via metadata.create_all + PRAGMA table_info: icon_data is BLOB,
created_at keeps its CURRENT_TIMESTAMP DEFAULT, a NOT NULL non-PK column stays
NOT NULL.
.md was missing from _SCANNABLE_EXTENSIONS, so scanning an external
folder skipped markdown during the walk and the cleanup pass deleted
its LibraryFile row (assuming it was gone from disk), 404ing the Folder
Readme panel. Add .md to the scannable set so pre-existing markdown is
indexed, and gate cleanup deletion on actual disk presence rather than
absence from the extension-filtered found_paths, so any non-scannable
upload still on disk survives a scan.
The 40x30 mm box label rendered its QR too densely for low-res thermal
printers — the modules bled together and wouldn't scan. Two causes: the QR
was 20% of inner width (~7.5 mm on the narrowest template, half of the
others) and used ERROR_CORRECT_M. Fix adaptively so all templates benefit:
give the roomy-layout QR a 12 mm minimum size (box_40x30 -> 12 mm, ~3.5
dots/module at 203 dpi) and switch label QRs to ERROR_CORRECT_L (same
payload, chunkier modules; a label needs no M-level recovery). Keep the
quiet-zone border at 2 — the size+L gains suffice without risking scans.
Also add a Monochrome (black & white printer) option to the label dialog:
drops the colour swatch (a useless grey block on B&W) and widens the text;
the hex-code line still carries the colour. Threaded through the renderer,
route, API client, and modal, with translations in all 11 locales.
PROJECTS_CREATE/UPDATE/DELETE were in _APIKEY_DENIED_PERMISSIONS with no
entry in _APIKEY_SCOPE_BY_PERMISSION, so every project mutation returned a
generic 403 for any API key regardless of granted permissions -- the same
regression class as archives (#1888) and library (#1832).
Add a per-key can_manage_projects scope. Project routes gate on plain
PROJECTS_* (no OWN/ALL split), so all three CRUD permissions map to the one
scope; membership edits (add-archives) gate on PROJECTS_UPDATE and are
covered. PROJECTS_READ is unchanged (already under can_read_status).
Column defaults TRUE for new keys; existing rows backfill to FALSE so the
upgrade never silently widens scope. Migration is BOOLEAN (SQLite + Postgres
safe), verified on fresh SQLite and Postgres 17. Bundled SpoolBuddy kiosk key
set to False. Settings API-key UI gets a Manage Projects toggle + Projects
badge; 11-locale i18n. RBAC scope matrix + drift guards extended.
The print-queue "auto off after this job" trigger used a second, inline
auto-off implementation (main.py, print_scheduler.py, print_queue.py)
that hardcoded wait_for_cooldown(50C, 600s) — ignoring each plug's
configured off_delay_mode / off_delay_minutes / off_temp_threshold — and
ignored the return value, powering off on the 600s timeout regardless of
print state. A print that failed and was reprinted from the touchscreen
got its power cut mid-print. The inline tasks were also uncancellable, so
a reprint couldn't abort a pending off.
Consolidate all three into SmartPlugManager.schedule_off_after_queue_job,
which schedules via the plug's configured strategy (shared with
on_print_complete through _schedule_off_per_mode) and is cancellable via
_pending_off. Add printer_manager.is_print_active() and guard the actual
power-off in _delayed_off and _temp_based_off so no path cuts power on a
loaded print. Move the on_print_start cancellation ahead of the auto_on
gate so a reprint always aborts a pending off.
DELETE /api/v1/archives/{id} rejected every API key with 403
"API keys cannot be used for administrative operations", regardless of
the print's owner or the key's scopes. ARCHIVES_DELETE_ALL/_OWN (and the
create/update variants) were on the denylist and absent from the scope
allowlist, so require_ownership_permission fell through to the generic
admin-denied 403 — the whole archive-management surface was unreachable
for API keys. Same regression class as the #1832 library/maintenance
carve-outs.
Add a can_manage_archives per-key scope: ARCHIVES_CREATE, ARCHIVES_
UPDATE_OWN/_ALL and ARCHIVES_DELETE_OWN/_ALL move from the denylist to
the allowlist under it (OWN and ALL fold into the same scope, matching
can_manage_library). ARCHIVES_PURGE stays admin-only — it drops the
print's Quick Stats contribution, mirroring LIBRARY_PURGE. Column
defaults TRUE for UI-created keys; existing rows backfill to FALSE so the
upgrade never silently widens scope. Bundled SpoolBuddy kiosk key stays
minimally scoped (False). Migration is dialect-agnostic and verified on
fresh SQLite and Postgres 17.
Adds the Settings API-key toggle + badge (11-locale i18n) and extends the
RBAC scope matrix to cover all five archive-management permissions.
Three bugs on the same PLA-model + PVA-support flow, discovered in
sequence:
(A) substitute_unused_plate_filaments inspected only object geometry
(per-object extruder metadata + paint_color triangles) so a support-
only slot was silently treated as "unused" and the user's PVA profile
got overwritten with slot 1's PLA.
(B) _extract_filament_info stripped filament_is_support==1 entries,
hiding PVA from unsliced source archive cards even when the project
explicitly configured it.
(C) --load-settings is authoritative over the source's project_settings.
config, and Bambu's shipped process presets ship enable_support=0
(supports are a per-print decision, not per-quality). So even with
(A) fixed, the sliced output had supports disabled and the PVA slot
loaded but never consumed. Inverts BambuStudio GUI's semantics where
the project overrides the preset.
Fixes:
- New extract_support_filament_slots_from_3mf reads enable_support +
support_filament + support_interface_filament from project_settings.
config; substitute_unused_plate_filaments unions it into the geometry-
derived set.
- _extract_filament_info returns all configured filament types + colours.
- New _patch_process_support_settings overlays four fields (enable_
support, support_filament, support_interface_filament, support_type)
from the source 3MF onto the picked process preset JSON before
--load-settings sees it. Deliberately targeted to what fixes#1881
without widening to a full project-over-preset merge.
Carve MAINTENANCE_CREATE/UPDATE/DELETE out of the admin denylist so
HA automations can log "cleaned nozzle" / reset a counter via API key
without granting broader printer control. Follows the same shape as
can_manage_library and can_manage_inventory: new column, allowlist
entry, UI checkbox, wiki row, RBAC test coverage.
Distinct backfill: these perms were EXPLICITLY denied for every API
key before this change (no existing integration relies on them), so
existing rows migrate to FALSE — no silent scope widening on upgrade.
New keys default to TRUE, matching the safe-on-by-default pattern.
Bundled SpoolBuddy kiosk key gets False explicitly (kiosk doesn't need it).
New scheduler stage that heats the bed (and the chamber, on supported
printers) and holds at temperature before each queued print starts —
the heat-soak engineering filaments need for adhesion and warp
control. Bambuddy waits between FTP upload and start_print, so the
soak runs while the printer is otherwise idle. M191 is silently
ignored by Bambu firmware, so doing this at the orchestration layer
is the only place it works.
Resolution order at dispatch:
1. PrintQueueItem.preheat_override ∈ {inherit, on, off}.
'off' skips entirely; 'inherit' falls back to the global
preheat_enabled toggle; 'on' forces the stage even when the
global is off.
2. chamber_target = item.preheat_chamber_target_override
?? max(filament_map[normalize(t.tray_type)] for loaded slots)
?? 0.
Mixed PA+PLA picks PA's 50 (max-across-slots — PA's chamber
requirement is binding, PLA doesn't suffer being warm). PLA-only
derives 0 and skips the chamber phase automatically.
3. Three hardware tiers for chamber heat:
- Active chamber heater (H2C/H2D/H2D Pro/H2S/X2D/X1E) → M141 +
chamber-sensor wait
- Chamber sensor only (X1C/P2S) → no M141, passive bed-radiation
wait with hard max-wait cap
- No chamber sensor (P1S/P1P/A1/A1 Mini) → bed + soak timer only
4. Airduct flap (H2C/H2D/H2D Pro/H2S/X2D/P2S) auto-switches to
match the chamber target — heating mode for engineering
filaments, cooling mode for PLA. Bambu firmware does NOT
auto-switch the flap with M141, so without this an ABS print
on a previously-cooling flap fights the open exhaust, and a
PLA print on a previously-hot flap recirculates ABS heat.
Idempotent: only fires set_airduct_mode when current ≠ desired.
Settings → Workflow → Queue & Dispatch → Preheat & Heat Soak card:
master enable toggle (default off — disabled installs see no change),
per-filament chamber-target editor (replaces a single global int that
shipped in the first cut and couldn't serve PA + PLA in the same
config), preheat_max_wait_seconds, preheat_soak_seconds. The Print
Options panel in PrintModal gets a Preheat sub-section with the
tri-state Inherit/On/Off control and an optional chamber-target
override input.
DB migration: PrintQueueItem gains preheat_override VARCHAR(10)
DEFAULT 'inherit' and preheat_chamber_target_override INTEGER NULL.
Idempotent via _safe_execute. Existing rows behave exactly as before
the migration.
Best-effort throughout: printer drops, refused M141 or set_airduct,
missing bed temp, lost MQTT state mid-wait all log and return cleanly.
Normal upload + start path runs after this returns regardless.
The HMS error modal had three compounding bugs that surfaced when a
user forced a wrong-plate HMS (0500_8051) and tried to dispatch the
per-fault actions.
(1) IGNORE_RESUME did not ignore. Bambuddy redirected the action on
state=PAUSE to a plain `resume` command, citing a #1830 verdict that
BambuStudio's "err-bearing shape" was firmware-silently-rejected.
BambuStudio source disagrees: DeviceErrorDialog.cpp:600 dispatches
IGNORE_RESUME via command_hms_ignore, whose wire shape is
{command:"ignore", err:"<decimal>", param:"reserve", job_id:...}.
That's a distinct command from `resume` — the firmware suppresses
the next re-check AND auto-resumes in one operation. Plain resume
means "re-check normally", which is exactly why the wrong-plate
detection re-fired 1-2 s after the user clicked Ignore. The #1830
"err-bearing shape rejected" test almost certainly sent the err as
a hex shortcode; BambuStudio passes std::to_string(int m_error_code)
i.e. the DECIMAL form, which is what the firmware matches against.
(2) Action buttons read as inert badges. The button className used
`hover:${buttonHoverColor}` — a template-literal interpolation
Tailwind's JIT scanner can't see as a literal string, so the
per-severity hover utility never reached the compiled CSS. Same
bg/text color as the severity badge above and no border made it
read as another label. No disabled state and no spinner during the
2.5 s ack wait left clicks sitting silently inert.
(3) Ack-detection 502'd on legitimate ack. The route compared
(gcode_state, hms_errors-len) before vs after publish; wrong-plate
re-pause round-tripped both fields to their pre-publish values
inside the 2.5 s window → false 502 even though the firmware fully
ack'd. PROBLEM_SOLVED_RESUME working but IGNORE_RESUME 502'ing on
the same fault was the same race resolving differently.
Fixes:
bambu_mqtt.py — new hms_ignore_command() publishes the BambuStudio
shape; existing hms_ignore(persistent) renamed to hms_idle_ignore
(unchanged shape, used by NO_REMINDER_NEXT_TIME per
DeviceErrorDialog.cpp:588). Dispatch routes IGNORE_RESUME,
IGNORE_NO_REMINDER_NEXT_TIME, and DONT_REMIND_NEXT_TIME to
hms_ignore_command (BambuStudio routes all three to the same
command_hms_ignore — the "don't remind" half is the firmware's
job). NO_REMINDER_NEXT_TIME stays on hms_idle_ignore type=0. Hex →
decimal err conversion at the helper layer with a defensive
fallback. job_id=None → empty string (matches BambuStudio's
std::string default).
HMSErrorModal.tsx — getSeverityInfo loses the dead buttonHoverColor
field. Action button uses static
`bg-white/10 hover:bg-white/20 active:bg-white/30 text-white
border border-white/20`, wires
`disabled={!hasPermission||mutation.isPending}`, and renders
`<Loader2/>` only on the button whose (action,print_error) matches
mutation.variables.
printers.py — ack-detection probes `client._last_message_time`
(bumped on every MQTT push regardless of payload) rather than
diffing state fields. The pushall that follows every command
guarantees a fresh push lands inside the 2.5 s window on any
healthy printer; only firmware-silent-drop leaves the timestamp
untouched, which is the 502 path #1830 wanted.
Two compounding bugs let an H2C-bound filament land in slot 1 of an A1
slice silently. (1) `_slicer_rejection_message` discarded the actual CLI
diagnostic - `filament preset Generic PLA @BBL H2C (slot 1) is not
compatible with printer Bambu Lab A1 0.4 nozzle.` - when the sidecar's
headline error_string was Bambu Studio's catch-all
`The input preset file is invalid and can not be parsed.` placeholder.
The real reason was in the stdout `[error] run NNNN:` line, trimmed off
before reaching the SliceJob's error_detail. (2) `pickFilamentForSlot`
used a soft `-100` mismatch penalty rather than a hard skip, leaving
the "never auto-fill an incompatible preset while a compatible one
exists" contract implicit. The unused-slot substitution in
`substitute_unused_plate_filaments` then propagated whatever slot 1
held across every unused slot - one bad pick poisoned the array.
(1) Mine `[error] <msg>` (with or without `run NNNN:`) from the full
pre-trim response; substitute the placeholder, keep meaningful
headlines. (2) Partition candidates into compatible/unknown vs
mismatch; prefer compatible whenever the bucket is non-empty, fall
back to mismatch only on graceful-degrade. Picker helpers moved out
of `SliceModal.tsx` into `utils/slicePresetPicker.ts` so the modal
file stays component-only (react-refresh lint).
