# bfebbx Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Build a cross-platform (macOS + Linux) C++ CLI that extracts a Betaflight FC's blackbox log to `<craft_name>_<YYYYMMDD>_<HHMMSS>.bbl` in one command.
**Architecture:** A single binary drives the full chain: auto-detect serial port → read `craft_name` over the Betaflight CLI → send `msc` to reboot into USB mass storage → detect the newly-mounted volume natively → copy `btfl_all.bbl` → eject. Hardware-touching code (serial termios, native mount enumeration, eject) is isolated behind thin functions; the logic (name sanitizing/formatting, craft_name parsing, mount diffing, port scanning, arg parsing) is pure and unit-tested.
**Tech Stack:** C++17, CMake, `ctest`. No third-party libraries. POSIX termios for serial, `getmntinfo(3)`/`/proc/mounts` for mount enumeration, `std::filesystem::copy_file` for the copy, DiskArbitration.framework (macOS) / `umount(2)`+`udisksctl` fallback (Linux) for eject.
## Global Constraints
- **Language/standard:** C++17. Compile with `-Wall -Wextra`.
- **Platforms:** macOS and Linux only. Platform-specific code is `#ifdef`-guarded (`__APPLE__` / `__linux__`).
- **No third-party libraries.** System frameworks only: macOS links `DiskArbitration` and `CoreFoundation`.
- **Minimize subprocesses:** the only permitted subprocess in the whole tool is the Linux eject fallback (`udisksctl unmount`) when `umount(2)` returns `EPERM`/`EACCES`.
- **Filename format:** `<craft_name>_<YYYYMMDD>_<HHMMSS>.bbl`, timestamp = local wall-clock at extraction time.
- **Name sanitizing:** characters outside `[A-Za-z0-9._-]``_`. Empty craft_name and no `--craft-name` → fallback `betaflight`.
- **Source file to copy:** `btfl_all.bbl`, and only that.
- **Serial:** 115200 baud, 8N1, raw mode.
- **Refuse to overwrite** an existing destination file.
- **Namespace:** all library code lives in `namespace bfebbx`.

### Task 1: Project scaffold + naming module
Establishes the CMake build and `ctest` wiring (folded in here because the first testable deliverable needs them), plus the pure filename-building logic.
**Files:**
- Create: `CMakeLists.txt`
- Create: `src/naming.h`
- Create: `src/naming.cpp`
- Create: `tests/test_naming.cpp`
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: nothing.
- Produces:
- `std::string bfebbx::sanitizeCraftName(const std::string& raw)` — maps each char outside `[A-Za-z0-9._-]` to `_`; empty input returns empty string.
- `std::string bfebbx::buildFilename(const std::string& craftName, std::time_t when)` — returns `<craftName>_<YYYYMMDD>_<HHMMSS>.bbl` using local time.
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
Create `tests/test_naming.cpp`:
```cpp
#include "../src/naming.h"
#include <cassert>
#include <ctime>
#include <string>
int main() {
using namespace bfebbx;
// sanitizeCraftName
assert(sanitizeCraftName("My Quad!") == "My_Quad_");
assert(sanitizeCraftName("vroom-5.inch") == "vroom-5.inch");
assert(sanitizeCraftName("a/b\\c:d") == "a_b_c_d");
assert(sanitizeCraftName("") == "");
// buildFilename — construct a known local time and round-trip it
std::tm tm{};
tm.tm_year = 2026 - 1900;
tm.tm_mon = 6; // July (0-based)
tm.tm_mday = 22;
tm.tm_hour = 14;
tm.tm_min = 30;
tm.tm_sec = 5;
tm.tm_isdst = -1;
std::time_t t = std::mktime(&tm); // interprets tm as local time
assert(buildFilename("vroom", t) == "vroom_20260722_143005.bbl");
return 0;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Create the CMake scaffold**
Create `CMakeLists.txt`:
```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
project(bfebbx CXX)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
add_compile_options(-Wall -Wextra)
enable_testing()
# --- library sources (grows as tasks are added) ---
add_library(bfebbx_lib
src/naming.cpp
)
target_include_directories(bfebbx_lib PUBLIC src)
# --- tests ---
add_executable(test_naming tests/test_naming.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test_naming PRIVATE bfebbx_lib)
add_test(NAME naming COMMAND test_naming)
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Run test to verify it fails**
Run:
```bash
cmake -S . -B build && cmake --build build
```
Expected: FAIL — `src/naming.h` / `src/naming.cpp` do not exist, build errors.
- [ ] **Step 4: Write minimal implementation**
Create `src/naming.h`:
```cpp
#pragma once
#include <ctime>
#include <string>
namespace bfebbx {
std::string sanitizeCraftName(const std::string& raw);
std::string buildFilename(const std::string& craftName, std::time_t when);
} // namespace bfebbx
```
Create `src/naming.cpp`:
```cpp
#include "naming.h"
#include <cctype>
namespace bfebbx {
std::string sanitizeCraftName(const std::string& raw) {
std::string out;
out.reserve(raw.size());
for (unsigned char c : raw) {
bool ok = std::isalnum(c) || c == '.' || c == '_' || c == '-';
out.push_back(ok ? static_cast<char>(c) : '_');
}
return out;
}
std::string buildFilename(const std::string& craftName, std::time_t when) {
std::tm tm{};
localtime_r(&when, &tm);
char buf[32];
std::strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S", &tm);
return craftName + "_" + buf + ".bbl";
}
} // namespace bfebbx
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Run tests to verify they pass**
Run:
```bash
cmake --build build && ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
```
Expected: PASS — `1/1 Test #1: naming ... Passed`.
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add CMakeLists.txt src/naming.h src/naming.cpp tests/test_naming.cpp
git commit -m "feat: naming module + cmake/ctest scaffold"
```
---
### Task 2: Betaflight craft_name parsing (pure)
**Files:**
- Create: `src/betaflight.h`
- Create: `src/betaflight.cpp`
- Create: `tests/test_betaflight_parse.cpp`
- Modify: `CMakeLists.txt` (add `src/betaflight.cpp` to the lib; add the test)
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: nothing.
- Produces:
- `std::optional<std::string> bfebbx::parseCraftName(const std::string& cliOutput)` — scans lines for one that (after left-trim) begins with `craft_name`, returns the trimmed value after `=`. Returns an empty string when the value is blank; returns `std::nullopt` when no matching line exists.
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
Create `tests/test_betaflight_parse.cpp`:
```cpp
#include "../src/betaflight.h"
#include <cassert>
#include <string>
int main() {
using namespace bfebbx;
assert(parseCraftName("craft_name = VROOM\r\n# ").value() == "VROOM");
assert(parseCraftName("# get craft_name\r\ncraft_name = My Quad\r\n# ").value() == "My Quad");
assert(parseCraftName("craft_name = \r\n").value() == ""); // set but blank
assert(parseCraftName(" craft_name=NoSpaces\r\n").value() == "NoSpaces");
assert(!parseCraftName("set craft_name = X\r\n").has_value()); // 'set ' prefix, not a report line
assert(!parseCraftName("# nothing here\r\n").has_value());
return 0;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
Add to `CMakeLists.txt`: append `src/betaflight.cpp` to the `add_library(bfebbx_lib ...)` source list, and add below the naming test:
```cmake
add_executable(test_betaflight_parse tests/test_betaflight_parse.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test_betaflight_parse PRIVATE bfebbx_lib)
add_test(NAME betaflight_parse COMMAND test_betaflight_parse)
```
Run:
```bash
cmake -S . -B build && cmake --build build
```
Expected: FAIL — `src/betaflight.h` / `parseCraftName` do not exist.
- [ ] **Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
Create `src/betaflight.h`:
```cpp
#pragma once
#include <optional>
#include <string>
namespace bfebbx {
// Pure: extract craft_name from captured CLI output.
std::optional<std::string> parseCraftName(const std::string& cliOutput);
} // namespace bfebbx
```
Create `src/betaflight.cpp`:
```cpp
#include "betaflight.h"
#include <sstream>
namespace bfebbx {
static std::string trim(const std::string& s) {
size_t b = s.find_first_not_of(" \t");
if (b == std::string::npos) return "";
size_t e = s.find_last_not_of(" \t");
return s.substr(b, e - b + 1);
}
std::optional<std::string> parseCraftName(const std::string& cliOutput) {
std::istringstream ss(cliOutput);
std::string line;
const std::string key = "craft_name";
while (std::getline(ss, line)) {
if (!line.empty() && line.back() == '\r') line.pop_back();
size_t s = line.find_first_not_of(" \t");
if (s == std::string::npos) continue;
std::string t = line.substr(s);
if (t.rfind(key, 0) != 0) continue; // must start with craft_name
char after = t.size() > key.size() ? t[key.size()] : '\0';
if (after != ' ' && after != '\t' && after != '=') continue; // exact key
size_t eq = t.find('=');
if (eq == std::string::npos) continue;
return trim(t.substr(eq + 1));
}
return std::nullopt;
}
} // namespace bfebbx
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**
Run:
```bash
cmake --build build && ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
```
Expected: PASS — both `naming` and `betaflight_parse` pass.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add src/betaflight.h src/betaflight.cpp tests/test_betaflight_parse.cpp CMakeLists.txt
git commit -m "feat: craft_name CLI output parsing"
```

### Task 3: Mount enumeration + diff
**Files:**
- Create: `src/mounts.h`
- Create: `src/mounts.cpp`
- Create: `tests/test_mounts.cpp`
- Modify: `CMakeLists.txt` (add `src/mounts.cpp`; add the test)
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: nothing.
- Produces:
- `struct bfebbx::MountEntry { std::string device; std::string mountpoint; };`
- `std::vector<MountEntry> bfebbx::listMounts()` — native enumeration of currently mounted filesystems.
- `std::vector<MountEntry> bfebbx::diffMounts(const std::vector<MountEntry>& before, const std::vector<MountEntry>& after)` — entries in `after` whose `mountpoint` is absent from `before` (pure).
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
Create `tests/test_mounts.cpp`:
```cpp
#include "../src/mounts.h"
#include <cassert>
int main() {
using namespace bfebbx;
std::vector<MountEntry> before = {
{"/dev/disk1s1", "/"},
{"/dev/disk2s1", "/Volumes/Data"},
};
std::vector<MountEntry> after = before;
after.push_back({"/dev/disk5s1", "/Volumes/NO NAME"});
auto added = diffMounts(before, after);
assert(added.size() == 1);
assert(added[0].mountpoint == "/Volumes/NO NAME");
assert(added[0].device == "/dev/disk5s1");
// No change -> empty diff
assert(diffMounts(before, before).empty());
// listMounts should at least return the root filesystem on a live system
bool sawRoot = false;
for (const auto& m : listMounts())
if (m.mountpoint == "/") sawRoot = true;
assert(sawRoot);
return 0;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
Add to `CMakeLists.txt`: append `src/mounts.cpp` to the lib sources, and:
```cmake
add_executable(test_mounts tests/test_mounts.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test_mounts PRIVATE bfebbx_lib)
add_test(NAME mounts COMMAND test_mounts)
```
Run:
```bash
cmake -S . -B build && cmake --build build
```
Expected: FAIL — `src/mounts.h` does not exist.
- [ ] **Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
Create `src/mounts.h`:
```cpp
#pragma once
#include <string>
#include <vector>
namespace bfebbx {
struct MountEntry {
std::string device;
std::string mountpoint;
};
std::vector<MountEntry> listMounts();
std::vector<MountEntry> diffMounts(const std::vector<MountEntry>& before,
const std::vector<MountEntry>& after);
} // namespace bfebbx
```
Create `src/mounts.cpp`:
```cpp
#include "mounts.h"
#include <set>
#if defined(__APPLE__)
#include <sys/mount.h>
#include <sys/param.h>
#elif defined(__linux__)
#include <cstdio>
#endif
namespace bfebbx {
std::vector<MountEntry> diffMounts(const std::vector<MountEntry>& before,
const std::vector<MountEntry>& after) {
std::set<std::string> seen;
for (const auto& m : before) seen.insert(m.mountpoint);
std::vector<MountEntry> added;
for (const auto& m : after)
if (seen.find(m.mountpoint) == seen.end()) added.push_back(m);
return added;
}
#if defined(__APPLE__)
std::vector<MountEntry> listMounts() {
std::vector<MountEntry> out;
struct statfs* buf = nullptr;
int n = getmntinfo(&buf, MNT_NOWAIT);
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
out.push_back({buf[i].f_mntfromname, buf[i].f_mntonname});
return out;
}
#elif defined(__linux__)
// Unescape the octal \NNN sequences used in /proc/mounts fields.
static std::string unescape(const std::string& in) {
std::string out;
for (size_t i = 0; i < in.size(); ++i) {
if (in[i] == '\\' && i + 3 < in.size()) {
int v = (in[i + 1] - '0') * 64 + (in[i + 2] - '0') * 8 + (in[i + 3] - '0');
out.push_back(static_cast<char>(v));
i += 3;
} else {
out.push_back(in[i]);
}
}
return out;
}
std::vector<MountEntry> listMounts() {
std::vector<MountEntry> out;
std::FILE* f = std::fopen("/proc/mounts", "re");
if (!f) return out;
char dev[4096], mnt[4096];
// fields: device mountpoint fstype options dump pass
while (std::fscanf(f, "%4095s %4095s %*s %*s %*d %*d\n", dev, mnt) == 2)
out.push_back({unescape(dev), unescape(mnt)});
std::fclose(f);
return out;
}
#endif
} // namespace bfebbx
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**
Run:
```bash
cmake --build build && ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
```
Expected: PASS — `mounts` test passes (root filesystem is found; diff logic correct).
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add src/mounts.h src/mounts.cpp tests/test_mounts.cpp CMakeLists.txt
git commit -m "feat: native mount enumeration and diff"
```

### Task 4: Serial port (termios) wrapper
**Files:**
- Create: `src/serial.h`
- Create: `src/serial.cpp`
- Create: `tests/test_serial.cpp`
- Modify: `CMakeLists.txt` (add `src/serial.cpp`; add the test — links `util` on Linux for `openpty`)
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: nothing.
- Produces:
- `class bfebbx::Serial` with:
- `static Serial openPort(const std::string& path, int baud)` — opens+configures a real serial device (throws `std::runtime_error` on failure).
- `static Serial fromFd(int fd)` — wraps an already-open fd (used by tests via a pty; takes ownership).
- `void writeAll(const std::string& data)` — writes all bytes (throws on error).
- `std::string readUntil(const std::string& delim, std::chrono::milliseconds timeout)` — accumulates bytes until `delim` appears in the buffer or the timeout elapses; returns whatever was read.
- destructor closes the fd; movable, non-copyable.
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
Create `tests/test_serial.cpp`. It uses a pseudo-terminal pair: writing to the slave makes bytes readable on the master, which `Serial` wraps.
```cpp
#include "../src/serial.h"
#include <cassert>
#include <chrono>
#include <string>
#include <unistd.h>
#if defined(__APPLE__)
#include <util.h>
#else
#include <pty.h>
#endif
int main() {
using namespace bfebbx;
using namespace std::chrono_literals;
int master = -1, slave = -1;
assert(openpty(&master, &slave, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr) == 0);
// Pre-load a canned response into the master's read buffer.
const char* resp = "hello world#";
assert(write(slave, resp, 12) == 12);
Serial s = Serial::fromFd(master);
std::string got = s.readUntil("#", 1000ms);
assert(got == "hello world#");
// Timeout path: nothing more to read, returns what it has within the window.
std::string none = s.readUntil("#", 100ms);
assert(none.empty());
close(slave);
return 0;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
Add to `CMakeLists.txt`: append `src/serial.cpp` to the lib sources, and:
```cmake
add_executable(test_serial tests/test_serial.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test_serial PRIVATE bfebbx_lib)
if(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME STREQUAL "Linux")
target_link_libraries(test_serial PRIVATE util) # openpty
endif()
add_test(NAME serial COMMAND test_serial)
```
Run:
```bash
cmake -S . -B build && cmake --build build
```
Expected: FAIL — `src/serial.h` does not exist.
- [ ] **Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
Create `src/serial.h`:

int fd() const { return fd_; }
private:

### Task 5: Betaflight serial protocol (getCraftName / enterCli / enterMsc)
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/betaflight.h` (add serial-driven declarations)
- Modify: `src/betaflight.cpp` (add implementations)
- Create: `tests/test_betaflight_proto.cpp`
- Modify: `CMakeLists.txt` (add the test — links `util` on Linux)
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `bfebbx::Serial` (Task 4), `bfebbx::parseCraftName` (Task 2).
- Produces:
- `void bfebbx::enterCli(Serial& s)` — sends `#`, drains the CLI banner up to the `#` prompt (short timeout).
- `std::optional<std::string> bfebbx::getCraftName(Serial& s, std::chrono::milliseconds timeout)` — sends `get craft_name\r\n`, reads until the `#` prompt or timeout, returns `parseCraftName` of the captured output.
- `void bfebbx::enterMsc(Serial& s)` — sends `msc\r\n` (fire-and-forget; the FC reboots).
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
Create `tests/test_betaflight_proto.cpp`. A pty carries a canned FC response; `getCraftName` should extract the value.
```cpp
#include "../src/betaflight.h"
#include "../src/serial.h"
#include <cassert>
#include <chrono>
#include <unistd.h>
#if defined(__APPLE__)
#include <util.h>
#else
#include <pty.h>
#endif
int main() {
using namespace bfebbx;
using namespace std::chrono_literals;
int master = -1, slave = -1;
assert(openpty(&master, &slave, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr) == 0);
// FC echoes the command then reports the value and a prompt.
const char* canned = "# get craft_name\r\ncraft_name = TESTQUAD\r\n# ";
ssize_t len = static_cast<ssize_t>(std::string(canned).size());
assert(write(slave, canned, static_cast<size_t>(len)) == len);
Serial s = Serial::fromFd(master);
auto name = getCraftName(s, 1000ms);
assert(name.has_value());
assert(name.value() == "TESTQUAD");
close(slave);
return 0;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
Add to `CMakeLists.txt`:
```cmake
add_executable(test_betaflight_proto tests/test_betaflight_proto.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test_betaflight_proto PRIVATE bfebbx_lib)
if(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME STREQUAL "Linux")
target_link_libraries(test_betaflight_proto PRIVATE util)
endif()
add_test(NAME betaflight_proto COMMAND test_betaflight_proto)
```
Run:
```bash
cmake -S . -B build && cmake --build build
```
Expected: FAIL — `getCraftName` is not declared.
- [ ] **Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
Modify `src/betaflight.h` — add includes and declarations inside `namespace bfebbx`:
```cpp
#pragma once
#include <chrono>
#include <optional>
#include <string>
#include "serial.h"
namespace bfebbx {
std::optional<std::string> parseCraftName(const std::string& cliOutput);
void enterCli(Serial& s);
std::optional<std::string> getCraftName(Serial& s, std::chrono::milliseconds timeout);
void enterMsc(Serial& s);
} // namespace bfebbx
```
Modify `src/betaflight.cpp` — add at the end of the namespace (keep the existing `trim` and `parseCraftName`):
```cpp
void enterCli(Serial& s) {
s.writeAll("#");
// Drain the "Entering CLI Mode" banner up to the prompt; best-effort.
s.readUntil("# ", std::chrono::milliseconds(1500));
}
std::optional<std::string> getCraftName(Serial& s, std::chrono::milliseconds timeout) {
s.writeAll("get craft_name\r\n");
std::string out = s.readUntil("# ", timeout);
return parseCraftName(out);
}
void enterMsc(Serial& s) {
// The FC reboots into mass-storage mode; no meaningful reply to wait for.
s.writeAll("msc\r\n");
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**
Run:
```bash
cmake --build build && ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
```
Expected: PASS — `betaflight_proto` extracts `TESTQUAD`.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add src/betaflight.h src/betaflight.cpp tests/test_betaflight_proto.cpp CMakeLists.txt
git commit -m "feat: betaflight serial protocol (cli/craft_name/msc)"
```

### Task 6: Eject module
Hardware-facing; no unit test (verified in manual integration testing, Task 8). Small, self-contained deliverable.
**Files:**
- Create: `src/eject.h`
- Create: `src/eject.cpp`
- Modify: `CMakeLists.txt` (add `src/eject.cpp`; link `DiskArbitration`/`CoreFoundation` on macOS)
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `bfebbx::MountEntry` (Task 3).
- Produces:
- `void bfebbx::ejectVolume(const MountEntry& vol)` — unmounts the volume. macOS: DiskArbitration `DADiskUnmount`. Linux: `umount(2)`, falling back to `udisksctl unmount -b <device>` on `EPERM`/`EACCES`. Throws `std::runtime_error` on failure.
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the header**
Create `src/eject.h`:
```cpp
#pragma once
#include "mounts.h"
namespace bfebbx {
void ejectVolume(const MountEntry& vol);
} // namespace bfebbx
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Write the implementation**
Create `src/eject.cpp`:
```cpp
#include "eject.h"
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string>
#if defined(__APPLE__)
#include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h>
#include <DiskArbitration/DiskArbitration.h>
namespace bfebbx {
namespace {
struct EjectCtx {
bool done = false;
bool ok = false;
};
void unmountCallback(DADiskRef, DADissenterRef dissenter, void* c) {
auto* ctx = static_cast<EjectCtx*>(c);
ctx->ok = (dissenter == nullptr);
ctx->done = true;
CFRunLoopStop(CFRunLoopGetCurrent());
}
} // namespace
void ejectVolume(const MountEntry& vol) {
DASessionRef session = DASessionCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault);
if (!session) throw std::runtime_error("DASessionCreate failed");
DASessionScheduleWithRunLoop(session, CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
CFURLRef url = CFURLCreateFromFileSystemRepresentation(
kCFAllocatorDefault,
reinterpret_cast<const UInt8*>(vol.mountpoint.c_str()),
static_cast<CFIndex>(vol.mountpoint.size()), true);
DADiskRef disk = url ? DADiskCreateFromVolumePath(kCFAllocatorDefault, session, url)
: nullptr;
EjectCtx ctx;
if (disk) {
DADiskUnmount(disk, kDADiskUnmountOptionWhole, unmountCallback, &ctx);
CFRunLoopRun(); // stopped by unmountCallback
CFRelease(disk);
}
if (url) CFRelease(url);
DASessionUnscheduleFromRunLoop(session, CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
CFRelease(session);
if (!disk) throw std::runtime_error("could not resolve disk for " + vol.mountpoint);
if (!ctx.ok) throw std::runtime_error("unmount denied for " + vol.mountpoint);
}
} // namespace bfebbx
#elif defined(__linux__)
#include <sys/mount.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <cerrno>
#include <cstring>
namespace bfebbx {
namespace {
// Run a command with no shell; returns the exit status (or -1 on spawn failure).
int runNoShell(const char* const argv[]) {
pid_t pid = fork();
if (pid < 0) return -1;
if (pid == 0) {
execvp(argv[0], const_cast<char* const*>(argv));
_exit(127);
}
int status = 0;
if (waitpid(pid, &status, 0) < 0) return -1;
return WIFEXITED(status) ? WEXITSTATUS(status) : -1;
}
} // namespace
void ejectVolume(const MountEntry& vol) {
if (umount(vol.mountpoint.c_str()) == 0) return;
if (errno == EPERM || errno == EACCES) {
const char* argv[] = {"udisksctl", "unmount", "-b", vol.device.c_str(), nullptr};
if (runNoShell(argv) == 0) return;
throw std::runtime_error("umount denied and udisksctl fallback failed for " +
vol.mountpoint);
}
throw std::runtime_error("umount " + vol.mountpoint + ": " + std::strerror(errno));
}
} // namespace bfebbx
#endif
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Wire up CMake and build**
In `CMakeLists.txt`, append `src/eject.cpp` to the lib sources, and after the `add_library(bfebbx_lib ...)` block add:
```cmake
if(APPLE)
target_link_libraries(bfebbx_lib PUBLIC
"-framework DiskArbitration"
"-framework CoreFoundation")
endif()
```
Run:
```bash
cmake -S . -B build && cmake --build build
```
Expected: PASS — compiles and links cleanly on the current platform.
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add src/eject.h src/eject.cpp CMakeLists.txt
git commit -m "feat: eject module (DiskArbitration / umount+udisksctl)"
```

### Task 7: CLI — arg parsing, port scan, orchestration
**Files:**
- Create: `src/cli.h`
- Create: `src/cli.cpp` (pure helpers: `parseArgs`, `scanPorts`)
- Create: `src/main.cpp` (orchestration; not the lib)
- Create: `tests/test_cli.cpp`
- Modify: `CMakeLists.txt` (add `src/cli.cpp` to lib; add `bfebbx` executable; add the test)
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: everything above (`Serial`, `betaflight`, `mounts`, `eject`, `naming`).
- Produces:
- `struct bfebbx::Options { std::string port; std::string output = "."; std::string craftName; int timeoutSec = 30; bool verbose = false; bool help = false; };`
- `Options bfebbx::parseArgs(int argc, char** argv)` — throws `std::runtime_error` on unknown flag / missing value.
- `std::vector<std::string> bfebbx::scanPorts(const std::string& devDir, const std::string& prefix)` — sorted full paths of entries in `devDir` starting with `prefix` (pure; testable against a temp dir).
- `const char* bfebbx::defaultPortPrefix()``"tty.usbmodem"` on macOS, `"ttyACM"` on Linux.
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
Create `tests/test_cli.cpp`:
```cpp
#include "../src/cli.h"
#include <cassert>
#include <cstdio>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
int main() {
using namespace bfebbx;
// parseArgs
{
const char* argv[] = {"bfebbx", "--port", "/dev/ttyACM0",
"--output", "/tmp/out", "--craft-name", "Vroom",
"--timeout", "45", "-v"};
Options o = parseArgs(10, const_cast<char**>(argv));
assert(o.port == "/dev/ttyACM0");
assert(o.output == "/tmp/out");
assert(o.craftName == "Vroom");
assert(o.timeoutSec == 45);
assert(o.verbose);
}
{
const char* argv[] = {"bfebbx"};
Options o = parseArgs(1, const_cast<char**>(argv));
assert(o.output == ".");
assert(o.timeoutSec == 30);
assert(!o.verbose);
}
{
const char* argv[] = {"bfebbx", "--bogus"};
bool threw = false;
try { parseArgs(2, const_cast<char**>(argv)); }
catch (const std::exception&) { threw = true; }
assert(threw);
}
// scanPorts against a temp directory
{
char tmpl[] = "/tmp/bfebbxXXXXXX";
char* dir = mkdtemp(tmpl);
assert(dir != nullptr);
std::string d = dir;
for (const char* n : {"ttyACM0", "ttyACM1", "ttyS0", "random"}) {
std::ofstream(d + "/" + n).put('x');
}
auto ports = scanPorts(d, "ttyACM");
assert(ports.size() == 2);
assert(ports[0] == d + "/ttyACM0");
assert(ports[1] == d + "/ttyACM1");
}
return 0;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
Add to `CMakeLists.txt`: append `src/cli.cpp` to the lib sources, then:
```cmake
add_executable(bfebbx src/main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(bfebbx PRIVATE bfebbx_lib)
add_executable(test_cli tests/test_cli.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test_cli PRIVATE bfebbx_lib)
add_test(NAME cli COMMAND test_cli)
```
Run:
```bash
cmake -S . -B build && cmake --build build
```
Expected: FAIL — `src/cli.h` and `src/main.cpp` do not exist.
- [ ] **Step 3: Write the pure helpers**
Create `src/cli.h`:
```cpp
#pragma once
#include <string>
#include <vector>
namespace bfebbx {
struct Options {
std::string port;
std::string output = ".";
std::string craftName;
int timeoutSec = 30;

bool help = false;
};
Options parseArgs(int argc, char** argv);
std::vector<std::string> scanPorts(const std::string& devDir, const std::string& prefix);
const char* defaultPortPrefix();
} // namespace bfebbx
```
Create `src/cli.cpp`:
```cpp
#include "cli.h"
#include <algorithm>
#include <filesystem>
#include <stdexcept>
namespace fs = std::filesystem;
namespace bfebbx {
const char* defaultPortPrefix() {

return "tty.usbmodem";
#else
return "ttyACM";
#endif
}
Options parseArgs(int argc, char** argv) {
Options o;
auto need = [&](int& i, const char* flag) -> std::string {
if (i + 1 >= argc) throw std::runtime_error(std::string("missing value for ") + flag);
return argv[++i];
};
for (int i = 1; i < argc; ++i) {
std::string a = argv[i];
if (a == "--port") o.port = need(i, "--port");
else if (a == "--output") o.output = need(i, "--output");
else if (a == "--craft-name") o.craftName = need(i, "--craft-name");

else if (a == "-h" || a == "--help") o.help = true;
else throw std::runtime_error("unknown argument: " + a);
}
return o;
}
std::vector<std::string> scanPorts(const std::string& devDir, const std::string& prefix) {
std::vector<std::string> out;
std::error_code ec;
for (const auto& e : fs::directory_iterator(devDir, ec)) {
std::string name = e.path().filename().string();

}
std::sort(out.begin(), out.end());
return out;
}
} // namespace bfebbx
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run the cli test to verify it passes**
Run:
```bash
cmake --build build && ctest --test-dir build -R cli --output-on-failure
```
Expected: PASS — `cli` test passes.
- [ ] **Step 5: Write the orchestration (main.cpp)**
Create `src/main.cpp`:
```cpp
#include <chrono>

#include <thread>
#include "betaflight.h"

}
```
Note: `Serial::fromFd(-1)` is used to release the original serial fd (its destructor guards on `fd_ >= 0`, so a `-1` handle is inert). This drops the port cleanly before polling for the volume.
- [ ] **Step 6: Build everything and run the full test suite**
Run:
```bash
cmake --build build && ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
```
Expected: PASS — all tests (`naming`, `betaflight_parse`, `mounts`, `serial`, `betaflight_proto`, `cli`) pass and the `bfebbx` binary builds.
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
```bash
git add src/cli.h src/cli.cpp src/main.cpp tests/test_cli.cpp CMakeLists.txt
git commit -m "feat: CLI arg parsing, port scan, and full orchestration"

### Task 8: README + manual integration test procedure
**Files:**
- Create: `README.md`
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: the finished `bfebbx` binary.
- Produces: user + operator documentation, including the hardware integration test steps (serial handshake and eject can only be verified against a real FC).
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the README**
Create `README.md`:
````markdown
# bfebbx — Betaflight Extract Blackbox
Extract a Betaflight flight controller's blackbox log to a timestamped,
craft-named file in a single command. macOS and Linux.
## What it does
1. Auto-detects the FC's serial port.
2. Reads `craft_name` over the Betaflight CLI.
3. Sends `msc` to reboot the FC into USB mass-storage mode.
4. Waits for the storage volume to mount, then copies `btfl_all.bbl` to
`<craft_name>_<YYYYMMDD>_<HHMMSS>.bbl`.
5. Ejects the volume.
## Build
```bash
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build
ctest --test-dir build # run unit tests
```
The binary is `build/bfebbx`.
Requirements: a C++17 compiler and CMake ≥ 3.16. No third-party libraries.
macOS links the system DiskArbitration/CoreFoundation frameworks.
## Usage
```
bfebbx [--port PORT] [--output DIR] [--craft-name NAME] [--timeout SEC] [-v]
```
| Flag | Default | Meaning |
|------|---------|---------|
| `--port` | auto-detect | Serial device (e.g. `/dev/tty.usbmodem1101`). |
| `--output` | current dir | Directory for the extracted `.bbl`. |
| `--craft-name` | read from FC | Override / fallback craft name. |
| `--timeout` | 30 | Seconds to wait for the storage volume. |
| `-v` | off | Verbose progress on stderr. |
### Exit codes
| Code | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| 0 | Success |
| 2 | No candidate serial port |
| 3 | Multiple candidate ports (pass `--port`) |
| 4 | Serial open / handshake failure |
| 5 | Storage volume did not appear before timeout |
| 6 | `btfl_all.bbl` not found on the volume |
| 7 | Copy failed |
| 8 | Destination file already exists |
| 64 | Usage error |
## Manual integration test (requires a real FC)
The pure logic is unit-tested. The serial handshake and eject need hardware:
1. Flash/confirm a Betaflight FC with blackbox logs on onboard flash.
2. Connect it via USB. Confirm the port appears: `ls /dev/tty.usbmodem*`
(macOS) or `ls /dev/ttyACM*` (Linux).
3. Run `./build/bfebbx -v` in an empty directory.
4. Verify:
- The craft name is read and printed.
- The FC re-enumerates as a USB drive.
- A file `<craft_name>_<date>_<time>.bbl` is written and matches the size
of `btfl_all.bbl` on the drive.
- The volume is ejected (no longer in `/Volumes` on macOS / `/proc/mounts`
on Linux).
5. Re-run in the same directory within the same second is not required; the
timestamp differs each run, so collisions are not expected. To exercise the
overwrite guard, `--craft-name X` twice within one second and confirm exit
code 8.
## Design
See `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-22-bfebbx-design.md`.

## Notes on scope carried from the spec
- **Port VID/PID filtering** is described as "ideally" in the spec. This plan
scans by device-name prefix (`tty.usbmodem` / `ttyACM`) to stay
dependency-free (VID/PID filtering needs IOKit/libudev). Ambiguity is handled
by erroring and asking for `--port`, which satisfies the spec's stated
behavior. True VID/PID filtering is future work.
- **Interactive port prompt** is explicitly out of scope for this version
(spec: multiple candidates → error).
