IDFH now synthesises a 1-sample-per-interval array from the binary intervals and writes an .h5 so the existing renderer works unchanged. Each "sample" is the per-interval peak ADC count → h5_value = count × geo_fs/32768 yields the right bar height.
Bug shipped in v0.21.0: save_imported_idf called read_idf_file()
with `source_path` (a bare filename like "UM12947_….IDFW") BEFORE
writing the binary to disk. The codec did Path(path).read_bytes()
which resolved relative to /app and hit FileNotFoundError. The
error was caught + logged as a warning, and ingest fell back to
.txt-only — events still landed in the DB but lost the bw_report
block + .h5 waveform that the codec was supposed to produce.
Observed during a full re-forward from thor-watcher on 2026-05-29:
every Thor event logged "binary codec failed for X: [Errno 2] No
such file or directory" and got binary_decoded=False.
Fix:
- read_idf_file() gains a `data: Optional[bytes]` kwarg. When
supplied, skips the disk read and decodes the provided bytes
directly. `path` stays required (used for filename in error
messages + .IDFH vs .IDFW suffix detection); only the read is
conditional. Backward compatible — existing positional callers
(CLI scripts, tests) continue to work unchanged.
- save_imported_idf passes `data=idf_bytes` since the bytes are
already in memory from the multipart upload. Filesystem write
still happens at step 5 of the existing flow; codec just no
longer depends on it.
Verified end-to-end against UM11719_20231219162723.IDFW from the
example-data corpus: ingest endpoint returns inserted=1, log line
shows binary_decoded=True + h5=...IDFW.h5, no warnings.
Re-forward existing Thor events from thor-watcher after deploy to
backfill the bw_report block — UPSERT preserves review state.

Tighten the Series III / Series IV boundary so UI and storage dispatch
on a clean signal instead of sniffing filenames or applying magnitude
heuristics.
Phase 1 — events.device_family column ("series3" | "series4"):
self-applying migration with filename-based backfill of existing rows
(1,132 backfilled on prod 2026-05-20); plumbed through every import
path (BW endpoint, IDF endpoint, ACH server, BW CLI, sidecar
backfill); UPSERT preserves via COALESCE; UI dispatches on it.
Phase 2 — extract micromate/ package alongside minimateplus/:
native IdfEvent / IdfReport / IdfPeaks / IdfProjectInfo /
IdfSensorCheck (mic in dB(L), not pseudo-psi); moved
idf_ascii_report.py from sfm/ to micromate/; refactored
save_imported_idf to use IdfEvent and bridge to minimateplus.Event at
the SQL-insert boundary; idf_file.py stub for the future binary codec.
Phase 3 prep — docs/idf_protocol_reference.md captures the two
observed Thor binary header signatures (1,012 newer-firmware files vs
2 old files whose layout is byte-for-byte BW-STRT-compatible), file-size
hints suggesting int8 sample encoding, open questions in dependency
order, and a concrete first-session plan for cracking the codec.
Also rolled in the v0.18.1 hotfixes that motivated this work:
- idf_ascii_report parser now handles "<0.005 in/s" (below-threshold)
and "N/A" markers without leaving raw strings in numeric DB columns.
- sfm_webapp.html: defensive _ppvFmt / mic formatter so future
data-shape drift can't kill the whole events table render.
All 1,014 example-data sidecars round-trip through the new package.
