# Session Summary - 2025-11-23
## Project: vguz_v2 - vzug-e-hinge Test & Control System
### Session Overview
Implemented complete session lifecycle management with port conflict prevention and fixed critical UART parity bug.
---
## Work Completed This Session
### 1. Session Lifecycle Management with Port Conflict Prevention
**Problem**: When a session was loaded, UART and I2C tabs could still be accessed, potentially causing port conflicts. After session ended, there was no way to unload without starting the session.
**Solution Implemented**:
#### A. Session Widget (`session_widget.py`) - Lines modified:
- **Line 101**: Added `self.main_window = None` to store reference to main window
- **Line 350**: Added `set_main_window()` method to receive main window reference
- **Lines 182-185**: Added "Unload Session" button next to "Load Session"
- **Lines 436, 500-504**: Enable/disable Unload button appropriately
- **Lines 422, 440**: Call `_disable_port_tabs()` after successful load
- **Lines 591, 605**: Call `_cleanup_session()` in session finished and error handlers
- **Lines 727-757**: Added three new methods:
- `_disable_port_tabs()` - Disables UART (tab 3) and I2C (tab 4) tabs
- `_enable_port_tabs()` - Re-enables UART and I2C tabs
- `_cleanup_session()` - Complete cleanup: unload session, close ports, re-enable tabs, disable buttons
- **Lines 678-700**: Modified `_reset_controls()` and `_on_worker_finished()` to NOT re-enable Start button (must Load again)
#### B. Session Module (`session.py`) - Lines 335-377:
- Added `unload_session()` method:
- Closes all hardware ports (UART command, UART logger, I2C)
- Clears session state variables
- Resets execution flags
- Preserves session_name for display
- Does NOT clear UI selections (for easy re-run)
#### C. Enhanced Port Closing (`session.py`) - Lines 672-720:
- Improved `_close_ports()` with:
- Individual try/catch for each port
- 0.1s delays after stopping reader threads
- 0.2s final delay for OS to release ports
- Better error logging (warnings instead of errors)
#### D. Main Window (`main.py`) - Line 189:
- Added `self.session_widget.set_main_window(self)` to pass reference
**Behavior Flow**:
1. **Initial State**: All buttons disabled except Load
2. **After Load**: Start + Unload enabled, UART/I2C tabs DISABLED (grayed out)
3. **After Start**: Pause/Stop enabled, Unload disabled
4. **After Session Ends**: All buttons disabled, UART/I2C tabs RE-ENABLED, must Load again
5. **Manual Unload**: Click Unload button anytime before Start to regain tab access
---
### 2. Duplicate Session Name Handling
**Problem**: Loading a session with a name that already exists in the database would cause conflicts or duplicate data.
**Solution Implemented** (`session_widget.py` - Lines 368-405):
- Check database for existing session name on Load
- Show QMessageBox dialog: "Session name '[name]' already exists. Override will delete existing session and telemetry data. Cancel or Override?"
- **Cancel**: Abort load, log info message
- **Override**: Delete all records with matching session_name from:
- `sessions` table
- `telemetry_raw` table
- `telemetry_decoded` table
- Proceed with load after cleanup
---
### 3. Critical Bug Fix: UART Parity Default
**Problem**: UART tab was throwing IO_ERROR on all ports immediately after program start, even though permissions were correct and it worked in old versions.
**Root Cause**: Recent commit `70eb585` changed UART defaults in `uart_core.py`:
```python
# BROKEN (commit 70eb585):
parity: str = 'E' # Even parity - devices expect None!
buffer_size: int = 0.256 * 1024 * 1024 # Float expression, wrong!
# FIXED:
parity: str = 'N' # No parity
buffer_size: int = 256 * 1024 # 256KB, proper integer
```
**Fix Applied** (`uart/uart_kit/uart_core.py` - Lines 140-141):
- Reverted parity default from 'E' to 'N'
- Fixed buffer_size to proper integer calculation
- Corrected comment (was "4MB", actually 256KB)
**Why Session Worked But UART Tab Didn't**:
- Session explicitly sets parity from database interface profile
- UART tab widget also sets parity from UI
- But something in the initialization was using the default 'E' parity before the UI values were applied
- Changing default back to 'N' fixed it

## Current System State
### Database Schema (Relevant Tables)
```sql
-- Session execution records
sessions (session_id PK, session_name, interface_profile_id, total_runs, status, notes, created_at)
-- Telemetry data (linked by session_name!)
telemetry_raw (session_id, session_name, t_ns, packet_no, raw_data)
telemetry_decoded (session_id, session_name, t_ns, run_no, motor_current, encoder_a, encoder_b, angle, ...)
```
### Key Architectural Points
#### Tab Indices (main.py):
- Tab 0: Session
- Tab 1: Configure Session
- Tab 2: Configure Interface
- Tab 3: **UART** (disabled during session)
- Tab 4: **I2C** (disabled during session)
- Tab 5: Graph
- Tab 6: Database Manager
#### Session Execution Flow:
1. **Load Session**: Reads profiles from DB, does NOT open ports yet
2. **Start Session**: Opens ports via `_open_ports()`, starts execution
3. **Session Runs**: Commands executed via `run.py`
4. **Session Ends**: Signals emitted, `_cleanup_session()` called automatically
5. **Cleanup**: Ports closed, tabs re-enabled, buttons disabled
#### Port Management:
- **UART Command Port**: TX/RX for commands
- **UART Logger Port**: RX only for telemetry (optional)
- **I2C**: Angle sensor reads correlated to UART timestamps
- All ports opened on Start, closed on session end/unload

## Known Issues & Notes
### Working Correctly:
✅ Session lifecycle (Load → Start → End → Cleanup)
✅ Port conflict prevention (tabs disabled during session)
✅ Manual unload (Unload button)
✅ Duplicate session name override
✅ UART tab port opening
✅ Multi-phase sessions (Init/Execute/De-init)
### Code Quality Notes:
- Todo list system used to track progress (all tasks completed)
- Added sleep delays in port cleanup for proper OS release
- Individual error handling per port prevents cascading failures
- UI selections preserved after cleanup for easy re-run

## Testing Checklist
Before next session, verify:
- [ ] UART tab opens ports correctly (all devices)
- [ ] Load Session → Unload Session → UART tab accessible
- [ ] Load Session → Start → Session ends → tabs re-enabled
- [ ] Duplicate session name override deletes old data
- [ ] Start button stays disabled until Load clicked
- [ ] I2C tab works after session unload
---
## Next Steps (If Needed)
### Potential Improvements:
1. Add confirmation dialog for Unload button ("Are you sure?")
2. Add visual indicator when tabs are disabled (e.g., tooltip explaining why)
3. Add session state indicator in status bar ("Session: Loaded", "Session: Running", etc.)
4. Consider adding keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+L for Load, Ctrl+U for Unload)

- **Current HEAD**: Session lifecycle + UART fix (this session)
- **70eb585**: Telemetry working (but UART parity broken)
- **a520d8f**: Port configuration corrected

## Code Snippets for Quick Reference
### How Session Loads and Starts:
```python
# 1. User clicks "Load Session" (session_widget.py:344)
def _on_load_clicked(self):
# Check for duplicate session name
# Load profiles from database
success = self.session.load_session(...)
if success:
self.start_button.setEnabled(True)
self.unload_button.setEnabled(True)
self._disable_port_tabs() # UART/I2C tabs disabled
# 2. User clicks "Start" (session_widget.py:444)
def _on_start_clicked(self):
# Create worker thread
self.worker = SessionWorker(self.session, self.db_path)
self.worker.start() # Opens ports and starts execution
# 3. Session ends (signal handler) (session_widget.py:582)
def _on_session_finished(self):
self._reset_controls()
self._cleanup_session() # Closes ports, re-enables tabs, disables buttons
```
### How Ports Are Closed:
```python
# session.py:672
def _close_ports(self):
import time
# Close UART command port
if self.uart_command_port:
uart_stop_reader(self.uart_command_port)
time.sleep(0.1) # Let reader thread stop
uart_close(self.uart_command_port)
self.uart_command_port = None
# Similar for UART logger and I2C
time.sleep(0.2) # Let OS release ports
```
### How Tabs Are Disabled:
```python
# session_widget.py:727
def _disable_port_tabs(self):
if self.main_window:
self.main_window.tabs.setTabEnabled(3, False) # UART
self.main_window.tabs.setTabEnabled(4, False) # I2C
```
