#
# pptest_regression --- the broad, multi-circuit regression sweep
# this project has been running BY HAND, ad hoc, every session since
# auto_layout.py's own core placement logic was first touched --
# checked against KNOWN, already-established ground truth (this
# project's own seven standard test circuits, each against five
# standard board_config variations), not synthetic, invented
# fixtures.
#
# ADDED 2026-09-03, closing a real, direct gap Péter's own review
# named: "make check" alone never ran this sweep at all -- every
# regression this session actually FOUND (the bin-packing
# "accidental short" bug, the rp2040-basic-m1 "3sector-tight"
# regression, the margin-scaling regressions) was only ever caught
# by this exact sweep, run manually, from scratch, EVERY session,
# with no saved baseline surviving between them. Turning it into a
# permanent, checked-in test closes that gap for good.
#
# Deliberately absolute assertions (bounds_ok/conn_ok/unplaced COUNT
# for each real circuit/config pair), not a snapshot/diff against a
# saved baseline file -- matching every other pptest_* script's own,
# established style, and avoiding the real brittleness a snapshot
# approach would have: a genuine, intentional improvement to the
# placement algorithm (like this same session's own anchor bin-
# packing work) can legitimately change WHICH components end up
# unplaced, or even reduce the unplaced count, without that being a
# regression at all -- a snapshot diff would have to be manually
# re-approved every time, while an absolute assertion only fails
# when something ACTUALLY breaks. When a real, intentional change
# does alter one of these expected values, update EXPECTED_RESULTS
# directly, the same way any other pptest_* script's own ground
# truth gets updated after a real, verified, intentional change.
#
# Usage: python3 pptest_regression --kicad-cli CMD [--quiet]

# dudhya's own field-reported Finding 1 changed resistor/diode's own
# real, default courtyard sizing -- see auto_layout.py's own
# _CATEGORY_FOOTPRINT), by running this exact sweep three separate
# times and confirming byte-for-byte stability across all three, the
# same discipline this project's own established regression checks
# have always required before trusting a result. connectivity (the
# middle value) is True in every single one of these 40 real cases --
# a genuine connectivity failure would be a far more serious,
# different class of bug than an unplaced or out-of-bounds component,
# and none of this project's own standard circuits, under any of
# these five configurations, has ever produced one. Two of these 40
# real values (RP2040-basic-m1 and solar-roller, both under
# "3sector-tight") flipped bounds_ok True -> False as a real, direct
# CONSEQUENCE of Finding 1's own fix -- confirmed, not assumed, this
# is the SAME, already-documented, deliberate extra_links wire-
# overflow behavior (see this project's own wire_row() docstring in
# auto_layout.py), triggered by a genuinely different placement
# arrangement now that resistor/diode take less real room, not a new
# defect Finding 1's own fix introduced.
#
# FOUR of these same 40 real values (RP2040-basic-m1 and
# knight-roller, each under BOTH "default" and "small-rows") dropped
# their own real unplaced count to 0, 2026-09-11 -- a real,
# CONFIRMED improvement, not a regression, closing a real, genuine
# gap in the rail-attachment fallback found directly, not assumed
# (see ResearchJournal.org's own 2026-09-11 entry for the full,
# empirical account): that fallback's own narrow, radius=8 room
# search had no second, wider retry at all when it failed, unlike
# every other real room search in this file -- these same nine (rp2040)
# and two (knight-roller) components were never placed at all before
# this fix, silently masking their own, separate, real bounds_ok
# status (an unplaced component can never trigger a row/size overflow,
# having no row at all) -- now placed, their own real board-overflow
# status is honestly visible instead, which is why bounds_ok itself
# stays False for RP2040-basic-m1's own "default" case: the board
# genuinely doesn't have room for every real component, and this
# project's own established philosophy is to report that honestly,
# not to hide it by leaving components unplaced instead.
#
# FOUR more of these same 40 real values (Camera-trap and knight-
# roller, each under BOTH "default" and "breadboard1" -- both real
# configs with a real, horizontal rail present) flipped bounds_ok
# False -> True, 2026-09-16 -- again a real, CONFIRMED improvement,
# not a regression, this time closing Péter's own, direct, real-
# world placement observation: a genuine, simple power source (a
# passive power_sources.py's own classify_power_sources() also
# identifies as primary/secondary -- Camera-trap's own J2/SW1,
# knight-roller's own D1/MTR1/MTR2) no longer competes for a real,
# brand-new column on the main grid at all when a real rail is
# present (auto_layout.py's own new p.rail_direct_power_source),
# freeing genuine, real room that was previously spent on it --
# confirmed directly, by hand, this real freed room is exactly what
# lets each of these four real cases now fit within board bounds.
#
# TWO of knight-roller's own four values from the paragraph above
# flipped straight back, 2026-09-17, closing FutureResearch.org's own
# new issue set's own item 2: rail_direct_power_source's own real
# sanity check (only a ref whose own EVERY real net is rail-like
# qualifies at all now, not merely one of them, per BT1's own real,
# defining shape -- see that item's own full, real account) means
# knight-roller's own D1/MTR1/MTR2 no longer qualify at all --
# confirmed directly, by hand, each genuinely has a real, second,
# non-rail pin of its own (structurally identical to solar-roller's
# own M1/M2, the real circuit that originally surfaced this whole
# gap), so none of them free any real room on the main grid anymore.
# bounds_ok flipped back False, "default" and "breadboard1" (the same
# two, real, rail-present configs) -- a real, CONFIRMED correction,
# not a regression: rail-direct placement was never a genuine option
# for a motor or a diode at all, only ever an artifact of
# classify_power_sources()'s own real, pre-existing, already-
# documented structural ambiguity (a single real pin on a power net
# alone). Camera-trap's own real values, by contrast, are untouched
# here -- confirmed directly, its own J2 genuinely has BOTH real pins
# on rail-like nets, the one real, qualifying case this whole
# mechanism was built for.
# CHANGED 2026-10-07, 0.72.38 (E1 + E2 of the left-side-bias research): SEVEN entries went from (False, True, 0)
# to (True, True, 0) -- the design now FITS a board configuration it used to overflow. Measured, entry by entry,
# with the two switches (free_hole_landing_enabled, spread_overflow_enabled) off and on: OFF reproduces each old
# pin exactly, INCLUDING the problem count, ON fits:  example-circuit1 default and breadboard1 (2 problems -> 0
# each), rp2040 default (7) and breadboard1 (6), knight-roller default (10), small-rows (2) and breadboard1 (9).
# The other 28 of the 35 entries are unchanged.

    is itself a SchematicSet) had never been written to disk and read back

    hier_label_mismatch -- a nested set's root drew sheet pins down to its
    own children but nothing inside its file answered its parent's sheet
    pins), fixed by kicad_gen.add_sheet_symbol()'s own new `upward`
    parameter. The netlist oracle alone did NOT see it (global labels join
    nets by name even when the hierarchy is broken); ERC did -- so both
    legs stay, and a negative control proves the ERC leg can see it.

    triggers it for real (a sheet that fits no paper tier): a wrapper over
    kicad_layout.generate_schematic raises RuntimeError for any sheet
    above 5 parts, and PER_SHEET_LIMIT_FLOOR is lowered so a small circuit

# PHASES, ADDED 2026-10-09 on Péter's suggestion: make check is the sum of check1 ... checkN (Makefile.am), each runnable
# alone, so that a run that dies costs one phase and not the whole suite (this project's own environment kills background
# processes between turns) while on a normal machine make check still runs them all. CHECK_NAMES is the registry of
# this file's check functions IN RUN ORDER (a check defined but not listed here would never run: check_test_phases fails
# on it); phase_slices() cuts it into N contiguous slices balanced by CHECK_WEIGHTS, the measured seconds of each.
DEFAULT_WEIGHT = 10        # seconds assumed for a check whose duration was never measured
# name -> seconds, measured with pptest_regression --timings on 2026-10-09 during a slow run (about 30 minutes in all: the machine's speed varies
# by a factor of two, so only the RELATIVE sizes matter); 56 of the 59 checks were measured, the others weigh DEFAULT_WEIGHT. Only used to balance the phases.
