torlando-tech 14f937cf8a Add native pyxis test suite + CI
Standalone C++ tests of pyxis-unique code (BLE fragmenter/reassembler,
peer manager, GATT op queue, LXST ring buffers, audio filters, HDLC
framing) plus Python tests of the patch_nimble.py build script.

Each C++ test is compiled directly by clang++/g++ with shims in
tests/native/ (Bytes.h, Log.h, Utilities/OS.h) so pyxis sources can build
without microReticulum's full Arduino/MsgPack dep tree. A pytest wrapper
per test compiles, runs, and parses the summary line — the whole suite
is one command: `pytest tests/build_scripts tests/native -v`.

Total: 13 pytest tests, ~72 underlying C++ assertions, 3.4s.

Surfaced an HPF-formula bug in lxst_audio (mirrored upstream in
LXST-kt/native_audio_filters.cpp) — filed as LXST-kt#13 and tracked
in the corresponding test with a TODO link.

CI workflow runs the pyxis pytest suite plus the clean-passing
microReticulum native17 unit tests (94/114 of the existing fork
test/* suites) on push and PR.

Pyxis Tests

Three test surfaces, each runnable independently.

1. Pyxis-unique pytest suite

Native C++ tests of pyxis-unique code (BLE fragmenter, HDLC, etc.) and Python tests of build scripts.

/usr/bin/python3 -m pytest tests/build_scripts tests/native -v

System Python 3.9 has pytest pre-installed; Homebrew Python does not.

  • build_scripts/test_patch_nimble.py — verifies patch_nimble.py idempotency, drift detection, missing-file handling
  • native/test_hdlc.{cpp,py} — HDLC escape/unescape/frame round-trip + golden vector against Python RNS
  • native/test_ble_fragmenter.{cpp,py} — BLEFragmenter ↔ BLEReassembler: in-order, out-of-order, duplicate, dropped+timeout, per-peer isolation, MTU change
  • native/test_ble_peer_manager.{cpp,py} — connection-map state machine: discover, identity promotion, blacklist, handle map cleanup, MAC rotation, pool exhaustion
  • native/test_ble_operation_queue.{cpp,py} — GATT op queue: FIFO, busy-state, timeout, clearForConnection, builder
  • native/test_ring_buffers.{cpp,py} — PCM + encoded SPSC ring buffers, including 100k-frame multithreaded producer/consumer stress
  • native/test_audio_filters.{cpp,py} — VoiceFilterChain frequency response, peak limiting, multichannel

Adding a new native C++ test

Pattern: pure C++ unit + thin pytest wrapper.

  1. Write tests/native/test_<thing>.cpp — include from ../../{src,lib/...} for the unit under test, use the existing EXPECT_EQ/EXPECT_TRUE/RUN(name) framework, return non-zero on any failure.
  2. If the unit pulls in microReticulum types, the shims in tests/native/ cover what's been needed so far:
    • Bytes.hbytes_shim.h (minimal RNS::Bytes — append/data/size/writable/resize/mid)
    • Log.h (no-op TRACE/WARNING/INFO/ERROR macros)
    • Utilities/OS.h (OS::time() with set_fake_time()/clear_fake_time())
  3. Write tests/native/test_<thing>.py — copy the test_hdlc.py template, swap source/include paths, run.
  4. Confirm: /usr/bin/python3 -m pytest tests/native/test_<thing>.py -v

2. LXST audio interop tests

Python tests verifying wire format and codec compatibility between pyxis (C++), Python LXST, and LXST-kt (Kotlin).

/usr/bin/python3 -m pytest tests/interop -v

Requires pycodec2 and access to $HOME/repos/public/LXST.

3. microReticulum native unit tests (PlatformIO)

The fork's microReticulum tests live under deps/microReticulum/test/ and run via PlatformIO Unity.

cd deps/microReticulum && pio test -e native17

Use native17, not native — the C++11 env is broken (static-constexpr ODR-use). Baseline as of 2026-05-02: 94/114 PASS, 7 FAIL, 5 SKIPPED, 7 suites ERRORED. The clean suites are test_os, test_bytes, test_msgpack, test_crypto, test_filesystem, test_objects, test_interop, test_general, test_reference, test_example, test_collections.
