New --mash mode (tools/RioSerialMonitor/MashTest.cs) mechanizes the
wedge-patch validation plan from RIOv4_2-ANALYSIS.md:
- Runs the live link with the app's >5s reset-recovery DISABLED so a
board wedge stays observable, and echoes lamps on every press
(lamp/reply collisions are the wedge trigger).
- Gap timing uses ANY AnalogReply packet (0xFE sentinels included -
a sentinel still proves the reply path is alive); logs a gap
histogram + top-10 longest gaps with timestamps.
- WEDGE detector: analog silent past the threshold (default 2s) ->
beep + banner; on resume, classifies self-recovered (patched
expectation) vs button-revived (button event within 300ms of resume,
the unpatched signature) vs unresolved at run end.
- Board self-reported RestartCount/AbandonCount/FullBufferCount
snapshotted before/after via CheckRequest, delta printed
(7-bit wrap-aware).
- Fixed-layout summary teed to riomash-<label>-<stamp>.log so
baseline-vs-patched runs diff directly. Exit 0 = no wedge, 1 = wedge.
--mash --selftest drives the whole instrument against a scripted
in-memory board (SelftestTransport) that goes silent at t=4.0s and
revives 200ms after a button at t=6.5s: verified end-to-end - alarm at
6.0s, wedge classified button-revived (2.75s), counter delta +4/+0/+1,
verdict FAIL, exit 1. Use it to sanity-check the alarm at the cabinet.
