- Split Kit (ST7796/SPI, custom port — mipidsi dropped) from Explorer
(ST7789V/8080 parallel) — they were wrongly lumped as 'ST7789 via mipidsi'.
- Add researched display-driver matrix (crates + status per controller).
- Mark Milestone 2 display 🟡: draws but TEARS; mipidsi confirmed to have
no TE/vsync/double-buffer support, module exposes no TE pin -> open item.

First per-board binary. rust/pm-kit/ is a minimal rp235x-hal firmware that blinks
GP25 on the Pico 2 — proves the toolchain, RP2350 boot block (ImageDef), memory
layout, and flash before we add any drivers.
- src/main.rs + memory.x + build.rs + .cargo/config.toml: rp235x-hal blink, builds
for thumbv8m.main-none-eabihf.
- build.sh + uf2.py: one command builds the ELF in the container, objcopies to a raw
image, and packs pm-kit.uf2 (rp2350-arm-s family). Drag onto the Pico 2 in BOOTSEL.
Verified: builds clean; produces a valid 6-block UF2. Runtime (does it blink?) is the
on-device check. Next: drivers (display first) + link pm-core.

New form factor: a plain RP2040 Pico + Pico Scroll Pack (PIM545) -- a 17x7
single-colour LED matrix + 4 buttons. The 7x17 matrix maps onto the editor's
lane x step pad grid.
- pico-scroll/: CircuitPython firmware (DEVICE_ID "G"). Engine/scheduler/SysEx/
live-sync copied verbatim from pico-explorer (engine byte-identical, so it stays
on the track-format conformance lineage); vendored bulk-framebuffer IS31FL3731
driver (pins/map verified from pimoroni-pico); three LED views (Grid/Pendulum/BPM);
4-button input. Audio over USB-MIDI (no onboard speaker); optional P_BUZZER.
- grid.html + info-grid.html: widget page (canvas mirrors the 3 LED views) + spec
page with a ~$29 BOM.
- Registered in build.sh (precompile + ASCII assert + pm_g1_circuitpy.zip), deploy.sh,
embed.js, embed.html, index.html gallery, and both editors' FW_PATHS (device id G).
- docs/rust-port.md: core/driver architecture (pm-core no_std engine+protocol; per-board
drivers behind embedded-hal/embedded-graphics traits). CLAUDE.md + livesync-protocol.md
note the new edition + device id.
Python firmware stays in parallel with Rust (no abandonment yet).

- schedule.rs: ports the firmware's durs/timeline math (app.py tick/_prepare_next).
render(track, bars) yields the deterministic click timeline; tests/schedule.rs
asserts quarter-note spacing, subdivisions, swing 2/3:1/3, polymeter 5:4,
accents/ghosts, mute, and multi-bar looping. All green on the host.
- The crate is now #![no_std] + alloc and builds for thumbv8m.main-none-eabihf,
so the codec + scheduler are firmware-ready (verified:
cargo build --lib --target thumbv8m.main-none-eabihf).
./rust/run.sh -> 9 tests pass (2 conformance + 7 schedule). docs/rust-port.md updated.

A third implementation of the track DSL alongside engine.js and app.py, validated
against the same tests/fixtures/track-format.json:
- rust/track-format/: pure parse()/serialize() codec (std + alloc for now; no_std is
a later refinement). Ports the app.py/engine.js semantics exactly — grouping,
subdivisions, swing, ghost, polymeter, euclid, GM note-number aliases, unknown->beep,
default groove (group-start accents), tempo clamp, empty->beep, and the playback-flow
tokens (rep/end/relative-goto). Carries vol/cd too, so it's the most spec-complete
of the three.
- tests/conformance.rs: the Rust adapter — reads the shared fixtures, asserts each
case's normalized form (number-tolerant deep-equal) + serialize idempotency.
- rust/Containerfile + run.sh: Rust toolchain in a container (mirrors hardware/eda/),
with the thumbv8m.main-none-eabihf target for the eventual RP2350 firmware. Never
on the host.
Verified: ./rust/run.sh -> cargo test -> conformance + idempotent both pass.
docs/rust-port.md Stage 1 marked done.

Grounds the native-Rust direction in what now exists: port inside-out, lowest risk
first, with tests/fixtures/track-format.json as the acceptance gate. Stage 1 (the
track-format crate as a third conformance adapter) is the concrete next PR -
host-testable in a container, no hardware. Toolchain goes in a container per the
develop-in-container rule, not the host.
