selfdrive/ui/text is a shell wrapper that execs ./_text. After exec,
the running process's argv has no path component, so
pkill -f 'selfdrive/ui/text' silently misses it. Add pkill -x _text
alongside the existing path-pattern kills in build_only.sh,
launch_openpilot.sh, and launch_chffrplus.sh.
Restoring the working tree to the pristine pre-Claude baseline previously
preserved at /data/clearpilot (now /data/clearpilot-baseline). The prior
modified-but-broken tree is snapshotted at /data/openpilot-broken-2026-05-03
and tagged here as pre-reset-2026-05-03 for reference.
From here, features (UI changes, dashcam, telemetry, GPS, display modes,
speed logic, standstill power saving, etc.) will be re-introduced one at
a time with proper testing.
- Nightrider: lines 1px wider (3px outline), engagement border hidden,
planner lines hidden when disengaged, stay on onroad view in park
- Normal mode only: return to ready splash on park
- Ready text sprite at native 1x size
- Nice monitor: keeps claude processes at nice 19, runs every 30s

- Fix controlsd crash: self.state.name AttributeError when state is int
- Move telemetry tlog import to module level in carstate.py (was per-frame)
- Remove FrogPilot screen recorder from UI (was crashing OMX on init)
- Ready screen: boot logo background, 8-bit READY! sprite, error states
(panda not connected, car not recognized) with 10s startup grace period
- ClearPilot menu: always opens to General, QButtonGroup for sidebar,
System Status uses ButtonControl, VPN toggle with process control
- Sidebar hidden on construction (no flash before splash)
- Status window: threaded data collection (QtConcurrent), panda detection
via scene.pandaType (SPI, not USB), only refreshes when visible
- VPN: moved to system/clearpilot/, SIGTERM graceful shutdown, keepalive
ping through tunnel, killall openvpn on disable, launched from
launch_openpilot.sh instead of continue.sh
- Disable gpsd and dashcamd temporarily for perf testing

GPS: fix AT response parsing (strip mmcli `response: '...'` wrapper),
fix capnp field names (horizontalAccuracy, hasFix), set system clock
directly from first GPS fix when time is invalid, kill system gpsd on
startup.
Logging: replace module-level log dir creation with init_log_dir()
called from manager_init(). Active session always at /data/log2/current
(real dir until time resolves, then symlink to timestamped dir). Add
LogDirInitialized param. Redirect both stdout+stderr for all processes.
Also: thorough process cleanup in launch scripts, dashcamd binary,
CLAUDE.md updates for GPS/telemetry/bench/logging docs.

Bench mode (--bench flag):
- bench_onroad.py publishes fake vehicle state as managed process
- manager blocks real car processes (pandad, thermald, controlsd, etc.)
- bench_cmd.py for setting params and querying UI state
- BLOCKER: UI segfaults (SIGSEGV) when OnroadWindow becomes visible
without camera frames — need to make CameraWidget handle missing
VisionIPC gracefully before bench drive mode works
ClearPilot menu:
- Replaced grid launcher with sidebar settings panel (ClearPilotPanel)
- Sidebar: Home, Dashcam, Debug
- Home panel: Status and System Settings buttons
- Debug panel: telemetry logging toggle (ParamControl)
- Tap from any view (splash, onroad) opens ClearPilotPanel
- Back button returns to splash/onroad
Status window:
- Live system stats refreshing every 1 second
- Storage, RAM, load, IP, WiFi, VPN, GPS, time, telemetry status
- Tap anywhere to close, returns to previous view
- Honors interactive timeout
UI introspection RPC:
- ZMQ REP server at ipc:///tmp/clearpilot_ui_rpc
- Dumps full widget tree with visibility, geometry, stacked indices
- bench_cmd dump queries it, detects crash loops via process uptime
- ui_dump.py standalone tool
Other:
- Telemetry toggle wired to TelemetryEnabled param with disk space guard
- Telemetry disabled on every manager start
- Blinking red circle on onroad UI when telemetry recording
- Fixed showDriverView overriding park/drive transitions every frame
- Fixed offroadTransition sidebar visibility race in MainWindow
- launch_openpilot.sh: cd to /data/openpilot, --bench flag support

- Per-process stderr logging to /data/log2/{session}/ with time-safe
directory naming (boot-xxx renamed once GPS/NTP sets clock)
- Aggregate session.log with major events (start/stop, transitions)
- 30-day log rotation cleanup on manager startup
- build_only.sh: compile without starting manager, non-blocking error
display, kills stale processes
- build.py: copies updated spinner binary after successful build
- Onroad park mode: show splash screen when car is on but in park,
switch to camera view when shifted to drive, honor screen on/off
- Spinner: full-screen boot logo background from /usr/comma/bg.jpg
with white progress bar overlay
- Boot logo: auto-regenerate when boot_logo.png changes, 140% scale
- launch_openpilot.sh: cd to /data/openpilot for reliable execution
- launch_chffrplus.sh: kill stale text error displays on startup
- spinner shell wrapper: prefer freshly built _spinner over prebuilt

- New dashcamd: connects to camerad via VisionIPC, feeds raw NV12
frames directly to OMX H.264 encoder. Full 1928x1208 resolution,
4Mbps, 3-minute MP4 segments. Works regardless of UI state.
- Added encode_frame_nv12() to OmxEncoder — skips RGBA->NV12 conversion
- Suspends recording after 10 minutes of standstill
- Disabled old screen recorder timer in onroad.cc
- Suppress debug button alert (clpDebug event still fires for screen toggle)
- launch_openpilot.sh self-cleans other instances before starting
- Register DashcamDebug param in params.cc and manager.py
- Add dashcamd to build system (SConscript) and process_config
- Updated CLAUDE.md with all session changes
- Added GOALS.md feature roadmap
