docs(release): cut v2.6.6 "Chassis" - #476
Conversation
The RTL lives in the sibling repository; this is the release cut, the plan, and
the planning documents it corrects. The emulation core is untouched, so
**AccuracyCoin 141/141 (RAM decoder) and nestest 0-diff hold by construction**
-- and were re-run rather than inherited: the RAM decoder reports
"pass rate = 100.00% over 141 assigned tests", and the full battery is 135
suites with 0 failures.
WHAT THE RELEASE IS
-------------------
`RustyNES_MiSTer` becomes something Quartus 17.0.2 compiles for a Cyclone V:
the framework vendored byte-identical, a top level, a clock, a palette, video
sync, an audio mixer, and the coupling capacitor the mixer turns out to need.
clause 1 sys/ verbatim 57 files, 0 content differences, 0 on one side
clause 2 compiles quartus_sh --flow compile exits 0
clause 3 bitstream output_files/RustyNES.rbf
clause 4 timing CLOSES worst setup +0.363 ns, worst hold +0.245 ns,
TNS 0.000 on every clock; console clock
+13.514 ns at Fmax 30.26 MHz for 21.477272 needed
clause 5 warnings named 0 errors, 111 -> 3, none citing our RTL
clause 6 no cosim regression 87 passed, 0 failed
Clause 6 is the one that keeps this honest, and it earned its place: the
cartridge's memories had to be rewritten (an M10K read is REGISTERED, so 40 KiB
of asynchronously-read cartridge wanted 393,216 registers against roughly
166,000 available) and only the suite could adjudicate that.
PLANNING DOCUMENTS CORRECTED
----------------------------
`to-dos/plans/v2.7.0-mister-core-plan.md`'s release table was off by one and is
re-synchronised. The plan gave rung 5 a single release, v2.6.4; it took two,
because v2.6.4 closed nine disagreements and then measured its own gate and
found it had run only 88 of 146 catalog entries. Everything after it moves down
one, and the compression falls on the MAPPERS -- v2.6.8's four boards and
v2.6.9's MMC3 are now one release. That is named as a risk in the plan rather
than discovered at v2.6.9, together with the honest fallback (let rung 7 span
two releases and say so) and why the alternative compression was rejected
(stacking an unverifiable release on a hardware-blocked one makes two
unverifiable releases instead of one).
The MiSTer contribution checklist gains the seven layout items this release
settles, and records the `.srf` as a DECISION rather than an omission: the
warnings that cannot be fixed at source live in Quartus's own library and in
`sys/`, and they are suppressed with documented `.qsf` assignments, which are
legible in a diff where an `.srf` entry is not.
NOT CLAIMED
-----------
No DE10-Nano and no SuperStation One are attached to this machine. A booting
core, a synced display, audible sound and a working pad are NOT established;
rung 6 closes at v2.6.7. The two rung-5 caveats -- the v-copy delay depth, and
promoting the per-cycle AccuracyCoin bus diff to a standing gate -- are carried
rather than silently dropped.

Thanks — both suggestions read correctly, and both are declined for reasons specific to how this project verifies its own documentation. Recording them rather than silently not acting. Content duplication across nine documents. That is deliberate and it is enforced, not tolerated. Centralising to one file and linking is the natural fix and it removes the property the audit checks: a link cannot go stale, so nothing would ever detect that a document had stopped being maintained. The duplication is the tripwire. The bump itself is mechanical — Long single lines. Correct that it matches the surrounding style, and that is the constraint: the anchors are matched by regex against a marker followed by a version, and the audit plus the bump script both operate on them as single logical units. Re-wrapping is a real improvement to diff readability and it is a change to every anchor's shape at once — worth doing as its own change, with the audit and the bump script updated together, not folded into a release cut. For what it is worth on this specific PR: the substantive work is in |

Inline comments:
In `@CHANGELOG.md`:
- Around line 79-80: Update the documentation contract in CHANGELOG.md and
docs/mister.md to explicitly scope the synchronous-read rule to cartridge memory
or state that work RAM intentionally remains asynchronous, keeping the
documented behavior consistent across both files.
In `@ROADMAP.md`:
- Line 11: Update the v2.6.6 release metrics in ROADMAP.md (line 11) and
to-dos/ROADMAP.md (line 58) to match the authoritative 3 warnings, +0.363 ns
worst setup slack, +0.245 ns worst hold slack, and 30.26 MHz Fmax recorded in
docs/STATUS.md, CHANGELOG.md, and VERSION-PLAN.md (line 3). Alternatively,
explicitly qualify any differing values with the separate artifact or Quartus
stage they represent.
Apply the same fix in `@ROADMAP.md` at line 11.
In `@SUPPORT.md`:
- Line 97: Update the current-release Quartus results in the FAQ entry to match
the authoritative values in the current-release block of docs/STATUS.md: three
warnings after 111, worst setup +0.363 ns, worst hold +0.245 ns, and 30.26 MHz.
Scope any remaining zero-warning claim specifically to the Assembler rather than
the overall compile.
- Line 97: Update the v2.6.6 release description so its build-results sentence
ends before the v2.6.5 “Muster” history begins, or introduce that predecessor
clause with “Built on.” Keep the release/version references synchronized and
ensure the v2.6.6 and v2.6.5 results remain unambiguous.
In `@to-dos/mister/contribution-checklist.md`:
- Around line 11-12: Update the checklist’s “Checked at” checkpoint to v2.6.6 so
it matches the settled release boundary and does not claim a later version.
- Around line 13-14: Update the Template_MiSTer file count from 53 to 57 in
to-dos/mister/contribution-checklist.md lines 13-14, keeping the commit and
version references unchanged. The entries in .github/release-notes/v2.6.6.md
line 11 and CHANGELOG.md line 44 require no direct changes because they already
record 57 files.
In `@to-dos/plans/v2.6.6-chassis-plan.md`:
- Around line 13-14: In to-dos/plans/v2.6.6-chassis-plan.md, align the C1 and C2
caveat status with the plan’s planned-work sections by marking both as deferred,
unless completion evidence is added. Keep the corresponding statements in
.github/release-notes/v2.6.6.md and CHANGELOG.md consistent with the deferred
status; update those sites only if needed to maintain alignment.
In `@to-dos/plans/v2.7.0-mister-core-plan.md`:
- Line 55: Align the schedule-overflow references in the release ladder and its
rationale with the release table: replace the stale v2.6.8/four-boards and
v2.6.9/MMC3 wording with the combined v2.6.9 mapper release, preserving the
stated fallback that the work may extend into v2.7.0.

… C2 shipped
All from CodeRabbit and Copilot on the release PRs. Recorded individually
because five of the six are the same class of error -- a number or a status that
was true of an earlier measurement and was not re-checked when a later one
replaced it.
STALE TIMING NUMBERS IN THREE MORE DOCUMENTS
--------------------------------------------
The published figures were corrected to the shipped build's in six files and
`ROADMAP.md`, `SUPPORT.md` and `to-dos/ROADMAP.md` were missed, so three
documents carried the numbers of a compile that is not the one being released
(+13.088 / 29.88 MHz / +0.386 / +0.188 against the shipped +13.514 / 30.26 MHz /
+0.363 / +0.245). The lead lives in ten documents by design -- that is what
`release_anchor_audit.rs` pins -- which means a hand sweep over "the files I
edited" is the wrong instrument for changing it. The audit checks that each
anchor names the workspace VERSION; it cannot check that a slack figure inside
the prose is current.
A FILE COUNT THAT WAS NEVER RIGHT
---------------------------------
The contribution checklist said `sys/` was "53 files". It is **57**, verified by
SHA-256 against a fresh clone with 0 content differences. 53 was the count of
one earlier listing including non-HDL files, and it reached a document that
exists to record what was verified.
The checklist's "Checked at v2.7.0, not before" also read as though nothing had
been checked yet, now that individual items carry the release that settled them.
Reworded so the unchecked boxes are legible as the remaining work.
A RULE QUOTED MORE BROADLY THAN THIS RELEASE APPLIES IT
-------------------------------------------------------
The README's v2.4.3 rule -- "synchronous read with a registered address, no
asynchronous read anywhere" -- is quoted approvingly while this release
deliberately leaves work RAM asynchronous. Both are right and the scope was
missing: the rule binds arrays too large to live in fabric, which is the
cartridge; work RAM at 2 KiB is 16,384 registers, about a tenth of the device,
and registering it too was tried and REVERTED because the harness samples
`o_wram_dout` at the access itself and all 87 gates failed. Stated wherever the
rule is quoted.
A SENTENCE THAT RAN INTO THE PREVIOUS RELEASE
----------------------------------------------
The release-chain connector produced "...0 errors and 0 warnings throughout, on
**v2.6.5 Muster**", which reads as though the v2.6.6 build results continue into
v2.6.5's description. "Built on" restores the boundary. Two documents.
AND ONE THING THAT WAS NOT A STALE NUMBER
------------------------------------------
`to-dos/plans/v2.6.6-chassis-plan.md` said all three rung-5 caveats were
"remediated here". That was the intent at the time the plan was written and it
is not what shipped, so it is RESTATED in place rather than left standing:
C1 v-copy depth deferred -- discriminating inside the passing window of
1-4 dots needs a stimulus sensitive to the exact dot
C2 verdict-only gate partially remediated, and it produced a finding
C3 two sub-tests unchanged -- the oracle itself fails them
C2's half is worth stating plainly because the half that exists already earned
its keep. The harness emits rolling FNV-1a checkpoints and `tb/ckpt_diff.py`
compares them -- per-cycle information at 1/8192th the size of a 2.0 GB capture.
On its first run it failed correctly: FOUR of the nine observable fields had
been written as constant `false` into every `.obs.bin` the DUT has ever
produced, unnoticed because `bus_diff.py` compares four of them. Three are now
correct; the residual is one sample in 200,000 cycles at IRQ edges, where the
oracle samples /IRQ twice per CPU cycle and the harness once.
The forward plan's schedule-overflow sentence is also aligned with its own
corrected table -- it still described v2.6.8's four boards and v2.6.9's MMC3
after the table had merged them.
