Add remote write head - #17
Conversation
Runs on a remote host, opens a raw block device (e.g. /dev/emmc0), and writes framed commands to it over stdin/stdout. the remote counterpart of the local O_DIRECT writer (SYNC = fdatasync; fsync on macOS). Builds as flswh-aarch64-qnx7 (cross) and flswh-<arch>-<os> (native); CI runs it first and keeps both binaries as artifacts for later fls testing.

- drain remaining DATA payload after device write error (stream desync) - emit() uses write_all() to handle partial stdout writes over SSH - guard against malformed DATA frames with plen < 8 - read_all() returns ssize_t instead of int - bump disk write chunks from 64 KiB to 8 MiB (WRITE_CHUNK_SIZE, compile-time) - test.py uses tempfile instead of hardcoded /tmp paths Assisted-by: OpenCode Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The failed chunk is already read from the stream when the write fails, so drain (size - rd) + 4 based on bytes read, not bytes written. Assisted-by: OpenCode Co-Authored-By: Qwen 3.8 27B <noreply@qwen.ai>
ZERO (0x09, len:u64) writes zeros from the current offset without sending bytes over the wire. CRC32 base table and per-byte update copied from gityf/crc (Wang Yaofu, Apache-2.0), adapted to a running state; verified against zlib in test.py.

Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.Set a timeout for the compiler subprocess.
If the compiler hangs, this new build step blocks the test indefinitely. Add a bounded
timeouthere and to the earlier compiler call at Line 64.subprocess.runwill then fail the test withTimeoutExpired.Based on learnings: subprocess calls without timeouts can block indefinitely.

stop at the first error instead of recovering?
fls client already treats every ERR as fatal
send error and exiting seems to simplify quite a few places

makes sense, I was having kind fo the same feeling on the complexity there.

Thanks for the review @bennyz ! |
SKIP is not used by the fls client and is covered by SEEK (seek to cur + len). Remove it from the protocol, the write head, and the native test (the offset-advance coverage is kept via SEEK). Assisted-by: OpenCode Co-Authored-By: Qwen 3.8 27B <noreply@qwen.ai>
The fls client treats every ERR as fatal, so the write head's post-error recovery (draining the frame, re-seeking the fd back to the logical cursor) is dead weight. Report the error and exit: - DATA: drop the drain and re-seek after a failed write - ZERO / READ: drop the re-seek - malformed frames: drop the drain - skip() has no callers left; delete it The native fault-injection test now runs each fault in a fresh process and checks the exact READY/ERR/DONE sequence.

335-341: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueConsider rejecting out-of-range writes on known-size block devices.
DATAandZEROdo not compare the requested range withcurandsz. If a block device accepts the prefix up to its capacity and then returns an error, the request can modify that prefix beforeERRterminates the write head. The README assigns this capacity check to the client, so this is defense in depth rather than a protocol violation.If adding the guard, apply it only when
sz >= 0and use an overflow-safe comparison such ascur <= size && len <= size - cur. Do not usecur + len > szdirectly becauseszis signed and size measurement can fail. Preserve regular-file behavior, since the native test uses a temporary regular file and regular files can extend past EOF.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Stage the complete payload in the existing 8 MiB buffer, validate the trailing CRC, and only then write to the device: a corrupt chunk no longer leaves bytes behind. Cap a single DATA at the staging buffer size (8 MiB, matching the client's cap) so the cap check is also a memory-exhaustion guard. Error-record behavior is unchanged: malformed frames, read failures, CRC mismatches, and write failures all report ERR and exit. The native test now covers a CRC mismatch (device left untouched) and an oversized DATA (rejected before staging). Assisted-by: OpenCode Co-Authored-By: Qwen 3.8 27B <noreply@qwen.ai>

Adds a remote block-device write head under
remote/for streaming reads and writes into remote systems. Framing is transport-independent and currently validated over SSH, with room for future TCP/U-Boot integration.Summary
ERRand exits. The client treats everyERRas fatal, so there is no post-error recovery in the write head.0x0a) returns total device bytes as a little-endianu64in a SIZE response (0x89), without moving the cursor. It reuses the size measured at open and reports ERR if that measurement failed.fdatasyncon QNX,fsyncon macOS).
