pod_render_norio.conf is pod_render_rec.conf with one line changed,
serial1=disabled instead of the vrio named pipe. Same binary, same egg. With
it, our build launches and the mech walks:
[launch] state=2 minPriorityEmpty=1 ticks=85316
[queues] p0=- p1=- p2=BUSY p3=- p4=-
BTL4Application::RunMissionMessageHandler
Turning Plasma Score Display On
[sim] pos=(180.466,10,-358.703) yaw=-0.275605 spd=14.4
[sim] pos=(251.959,10,-250.498) yaw=-0.89103 spd=14.4
No fault, 290 log lines and counting. This is the first time the
reconstruction has reached a running mission on the pod.
The hang was never starvation, a deadlock, or a refill loop -- it was VOLUME,
the first candidate I listed and then talked myself out of. 530 renderer
events queue at priority 0 during load; BackgroundTasks::Execute runs exactly
one task per call round-robin over seven tasks, and the 1ms frame budget is
always blown here so no extra background passes happen. That is ~9 events per
real second, so a load legitimately takes ~60s. The fault arrived at ~40s,
before the backlog could clear. Every 'the queue never drains' reading was
really 'the process dies before it can'.
The disproof was already in hand: the post tally climbed to 530 and went FLAT,
which means nothing was refilling. p0=BUSY with nextReady=1 is equally
consistent with a large finite backlog still draining, and I read it as refill.
Why the RIO port: the pipe has no server attached, which should behave as an
unplugged cable. The emulator log shows steady serial1 RX overruns, our build
prints 'RIO never came back from test mode!', and the SHIPPED binary prints
'lost RIO analog request' and launches anyway on this identical rig. So an
unplugged RIO is survivable and our handling of it is not -- a real defect, not
a rig artifact, since a pod with an unplugged RIO cable should still boot.
The wild reference at EulerAngles::operator=(const LinearMatrix&)+0x19 is still
unexplained, but it is now reproducible on demand by enabling serial1 rather
than being a coin flip.
