Root cause of "TAKE CONTROL IMMEDIATELY / Communication Issue Between
Processes" during driving: our 4Hz thermald and 2Hz gpsd changes pushed
deviceState, managerState, and gpsLocation above their declared rate
ceilings in cereal/services.py. SubMaster's freq_ok check requires
observed rate within [0.8*min, 1.2*max]; publishing faster than max also
fails the check — which trips all_freq_ok(), raises EventName.commIssue,
and fires the banner.
- deviceState: 2Hz → 4Hz (matches thermald DT_TRML=0.25)
- gpsLocation: 1Hz → 2Hz (matches gpsd 2Hz polling)
- managerState: 2Hz → 4Hz (gated on deviceState arrival, inherits rate)
Also:
- Re-enabled dashcamd in process_config.py (was disabled for the
diagnostic test — dashcamd was innocent).
- Added a CLAUDE.md section documenting this class of bug so the next
rate change updates services.py too.

Fan control rework (thermald → 4Hz):
- DT_TRML 0.5s → 0.25s (thermald loop + fan PID now at 4Hz)
- New clamp rules based on (gear, cruise_engaged, standstill):
parked → 0-100%
in drive + cruise engaged (any speed) → 30-100%
in drive + cruise off + standstill → 10-100%
in drive + cruise off + moving → 30-100%
- thermald now reads gearShifter (via carState) and controlsState.enabled,
passes them to fan_controller.update()
- Removed BENCH_MODE special case — new rules cover bench automatically
- Removed ignition-based branches — gear is the correct signal
System health overlay:
- Subscribed UI to peripheralState so we can read fanSpeedRpm
- Added FAN row: actual fan% (RPM / 65) to sit alongside LAG/DROP/TEMP/CPU/MEM.
Shows the real fan output vs. what the PID is asking for.
Migrate hot signals from paramsMemory to cereal (frogpilotCarControl):
- Added latRequested @3 and noLatLaneChange @4 to FrogPilotCarControl schema
- controlsd sets FPCC.latRequested / FPCC.noLatLaneChange (send-on-change
already gates the IPC)
- modeld reads from sm['frogpilotCarControl'] (added to its subscribers)
instead of paramsMemory (saves ~20 file-read syscalls/sec)
- carcontroller reads from frogpilot_variables (set in-process by controlsd)
instead of paramsMemory (saves ~100 file-read syscalls/sec in 100Hz path).
Dropped carcontroller's now-unused Params instance and import.
- UI (ui.cc, onroad.cc) reads from sm['frogpilotCarControl'].noLatLaneChange
- Removed LatRequested and no_lat_lane_change param registrations + defaults
