serversdownandClaude Opus 5 b55e4e946a verify(micromate): 11.0BD confirmed on hardware -- every inference held
UM20147 read over USB by mm_client_check.py.  The Thor firmware line was
entirely inference until now, and two of its three differences were covered
only by SYNTHESISED test frames.  All three held:

- flags = 0x03 identifies the line -> reported firmware_line="thor".  That is
  only reachable if `10 03` in the flags position destuffs before indexing,
  since 0x03 is ETX -- so the escaped-flags case is confirmed too.
- the model string is shorter -> reported "MM/ISEE/S" exactly.  Anchoring the
  search on b"MM/" rather than a fixed span is what made this work.
- the 0x1C block is 4 bytes longer with the extras TRAILING, so from-the-start
  offsets survive -> battery 3.55 V and a clock correct to the second.

That last one is the one that mattered.  Series III's from-the-end offsets
would have given this unit 577.92 V, which is why mm_client_check watches for
an impossible voltage: it is a free self-check on exactly the inference most
likely to be wrong.

Also clean: serial UM20147, 5 setups (factory.MMB -> test2.mmb), active setup
test2.mmb, 15,000,000 B total and free, 21 reads / 2,165 B in.

"One protocol stack drives the whole fleet regardless of firmware line" -- the
headline finding of 2026-09-23 -- is now demonstrated by a working client
rather than by matching response SUBs.

Test and docstring claims downgraded from inference to confirmed where the
hardware settled them, and left as synthesised-frame notes where it did not:
the BEHAVIOUR is confirmed but raw BD bytes are still not in the repo.

Added --capture DIR to mm_client_check: writes a raw_bw_*/raw_s3_* pair in the
layout scratch/mm_frame_parse.py already reads, so a run on an unfamiliar unit
becomes a test fixture without setting up a relay.  Verified by round-tripping
its own output through that parser: 28 frames, 0 bad checksums.

Still not covered: a download from a BD unit (UM20147 had no events stored, so
the chunk walk remains CB-only), raw BD fixture bytes, a monitoring unit, a
nearly-full buffer, and the inbound call-home session.

"""
mm_client_check.py — exercise the Micromate read client against a real unit.
**Read-only.** It sends POLL, SERIAL, state, monitor status, the setup walk and
(optionally) one event download. It never writes, never erases, never starts or
stops monitoring.
Why it exists
-------------
`micromate/{framing,protocol,client}.py` are verified against captures taken
**over USB**, on **one firmware line** (`11.0CB`). Two things that cannot be
verified that way:
* **the modem path.** An RX55/RV55 bridges serial to TCP transparently, but
it buffers up to ~1 s before forwarding, so a single logical response can
arrive as many small reads. The client reads to frame completion rather
than using idle-gap detection, which should be strictly more robust — but
"should be" is the point of this script.
* **the other firmware line.** `11.0BD` reports `flags = 0x03`, a shorter
model string, and a `SUB 0x1C` block 4 bytes longer. Everything about that
is currently inference from one 2026-09-23 sweep whose captures never
landed in the repo.
Run it over both paths and diff the two reports. Anything that differs beyond
timings is a finding.
Usage
-----
# over the modem
python3 bridges/mm_client_check.py 63.45.161.30:9034
# over USB / direct serial
python3 bridges/mm_client_check.py /dev/ttyACM0 --baud 115200
# include one event download (still read-only)
python3 bridges/mm_client_check.py <target> --download
⚠ These modems bridge ONE TCP session to serial at a time. If THOR holds the
unit, this will connect and then see nothing — that is contention, not a fault.
`bridges/mm_probe.py` explains that case; disconnect THOR first.
