refactor: cache-then-render skip logic, never write placeholder-only PNGs - #166
Conversation
…PNGs Implements IT #165 (follow-up to PR #164 / IT #126): replaces the write-then-delete skip-render approach with cache-then-render, so "skip" means the PNG file is never written at all. Per CodeRabbit's PR #164 analysis (#164 (comment)): call the data-fetching closure exactly once per axis, cache the owned results in a Vec before creating any BitMapBackend, and check whether any cached result has real, valid data before deciding whether to create the output file at all. Applied to all 4 occurrences: - plot_framework.rs: draw_stacked_plot, draw_dual_spectrum_plot, draw_dual_heatmap_plot — added shared validity-predicate helpers (is_stacked_axis_data_valid, is_plot_config_valid, is_axis_spectrum_valid, is_heatmap_plot_config_valid, is_axis_heatmap_spectrum_valid) so the pre-render skip check and the draw loop's own has_data/valid_ranges logic can never disagree — CodeRabbit specifically flagged this as the main correctness trap to avoid in this refactor. - plot_motor_spectrums.rs: already computed motor_spectrums before creating the backend; now also pre-filters each motor's spectrum to the plotted (post-Nyquist) frequency range before the skip decision, and the draw loop reuses that same cached, filtered data instead of recomputing it. This removes the write-then-delete mechanics from PR #164 entirely for the skip case: no BitMapBackend::new(), no PNG encoding, no remove_file() call, no possible deletion-failure edge case. The mixed-data case (some axes valid, some not) is unchanged — a plot that does get saved still draws "Data Unavailable" placeholder panels for its invalid axes, exactly as before; only the whole-file skip decision moved earlier. Verified against the same 3 required data-source cases from PR #164 (gyroUnfilt present, debug_mode=6 fallback, neither present, all decoded from ~/SYNC/XPS/BlackBoxLogs-and-diffs/testy/): all pass, and for the neither-present case, confirmed via a fresh output directory that the previously write-then-deleted PNGs (Gyro_Spectrums_comparative, Step_Response_stacked_plot) are genuinely never created (no delete step observed), while the 5 PNGs that do have real data are present and match exactly what the report links. cargo clippy -D warnings, cargo fmt --check, cargo test, cargo build --release all clean. IT #165
The generated .md report linked whichever plots were produced but gave no indication of which enabled plot types were skipped due to no plottable data — a reader had no way to tell "this plot type wasn't requested" from "this plot type was requested but had nothing to show" without cross-referencing the console output. main.rs's png_links-building block (push_if_exists) now also records a human-readable label for each enabled plot type whose file wasn't produced, reusing the same plot_type_name wording already used in the matching console warning (e.g. "Gyro Spectrums", "Step Response") for consistency. report.rs renders these under a "## Skipped Plots" section, right after "## Generated Plots", omitted entirely when nothing was skipped. Verified: the neither-gyroUnfilt-nor-debug test log's report now lists "Step Response" and "Gyro Spectrums" under Skipped Plots, matching the console's "⚠️ Skipping X: no axis has data to plot." messages exactly; the gyroUnfilt-present log's report correctly omits the section entirely (skipped_plots is empty). IT #165
CodeRabbit local CLI review found a real regression in the cache-then- render redesign (6df2d8e): the old write-then-delete design's skip branch called remove_file() unconditionally, which incidentally cleaned up any stale file already at that path — including one left by an earlier run in the same --output-dir with different (more complete) data. Cache-then-render's skip branch never touches output_filename at all (that's the whole point — no write, so no delete needed for files this run created), but that also means it no longer cleans up a stale file from a *previous* run. Since main.rs classifies plots as generated-vs-skipped purely via Path::exists(), a stale leftover would get misreported as "generated" in the report even though this run decided there was nothing to plot. Fix: added remove_stale_output_file() to plot_framework.rs, called from all 4 skip branches (plot_framework.rs's 3 shared drawing functions + plot_motor_spectrums.rs) right before the skip message. Missing-file is the common case (no prior run) and isn't reported; only a genuine removal failure prints a warning. This is a narrower fix than CodeRabbit's suggested alternative (each renderer returning an explicit generated/skipped status instead of Path::exists()) — restoring the old design's incidental staleness-cleanup property achieves the same practical correctness guarantee with far less code churn (one small helper + 4 call sites, vs. changing ~13 function signatures across the whole plot_functions module). Verified by simulating the exact scenario: planted a fake stale PNG at a skip-branch's output path, ran the tool against a log where that plot has no data, confirmed the stale file is removed and the report correctly lists it under "Skipped Plots" rather than "Generated Plots". Also synced README.md and OVERVIEW.md's report-structure descriptions to mention the new "Skipped Plots" section (fe6694e) — both had a matching sentence describing report sections that didn't yet reflect it. IT #165
pi second-opinion review (openrouter/nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b) on the fe6694e skipped_plots commit: the step-response PNG discovery scan used std::fs::read_dir(".").map(...).unwrap_or_default(), which conflates a genuine directory-read failure with "found zero matching files" — if read_dir() failed for an unrelated I/O reason, the plot would get incorrectly recorded as skipped even if plot_step_response() had already successfully written the file earlier in the pipeline. Restored the original if let Ok(entries) = ... guard (present before fe6694e added skipped_plots tracking): on a scan failure, Step Response is now left out of both png_links and skipped_plots rather than being misclassified, matching the pre-existing conservative behavior for this one case. Other pi findings on the same diff were reviewed and are not bugs: "vacuous skip if motor_spectrums is empty" can't happen (an earlier motor_count == 0 check already returns before that point); the upfront closure evaluation and cross-function pattern duplication were flagged as acceptable, not issues. IT #165

P1 — Remove stale motor-spectrum output on the early skip paths In If a previous run generated Call I also checked the shared predicates. Their current results match the draw-loop validity checks for stacked plots, dual spectrum plots, and dual heatmap plots. However, the loops repeat the checks inline. This does not cause a current defect, but it does not enforce the stated “can never disagree” invariant. Using the helpers in the loops, where possible, would prevent later drift. You are interacting with an AI system. |
…trums CodeRabbit GitHub bot analysis on PR #166 flagged that plot_motor_spectrums.rs's two early returns (no sample rate, no motor columns) happen after output_file is defined but before remove_stale_output_file(&output_file) is ever called — a stale PNG from a prior run in the same --output-dir would linger and get misreported as "generated" via main.rs's Path::exists() classification. Verified the same pattern exists in every other plot_functions file that defines its own early "no data, skip this plot entirely" checks before reaching the shared plot_framework.rs draw functions (whose own skip branches already call remove_stale_output_file, from commit b49fe67 — that fix only covered the skip decision made *inside* those shared functions, not the many skip decisions made *before* ever calling them): - plot_gyro_spectrums.rs: 1 early return (no sample rate) - plot_psd.rs: 1 early return (no sample rate) - plot_psd_db_heatmap.rs: 4 early returns (no sample rate, invalid STFT_OVERLAP_FACTOR, zero hop size, zero window size) - plot_throttle_freq_heatmap.rs: 4 early returns (same 4 STFT guards) - plot_d_term_heatmap.rs: 9 early returns (no sample rate, 4 STFT/FFT validity guards, 2 throttle-bin guards, no valid heatmap data) - plot_d_term_psd.rs: 3 early returns (no sample rate x2, no valid spectrum data) - plot_d_term_spectrums.rs: 3 early returns (no sample rate x2, no valid spectrum data) Added remove_stale_output_file(&output_file) immediately before each of these 25 early returns. Two additional "return Ok(...)" sites in plot_d_term_psd.rs and plot_d_term_spectrums.rs (log_data.is_empty() checks) were left unfixed: they occur before output_file is even computed, and are unreachable in practice — main.rs already returns before calling any plot function when all_log_data is empty. Verified with a full multi-file batch run (all 5 test logs, one invocation): exit 0, no errors, every report's PNG links resolve to an actual file with zero broken links. IT #165

@coderabbitai — AI generated comment Addressed the P1 finding, and verified the same pattern exists across every other plot_functions file, not just plot_motor_spectrums.rs — fixed all of them in commit daac3dd:
All now call remove_stale_output_file(&output_file) before returning. Two log_data.is_empty() checks in plot_d_term_psd.rs/plot_d_term_spectrums.rs were left as-is — they're before output_file is computed and unreachable in practice (main.rs already gates on all_log_data.is_empty() before calling any plot function). On the shared-predicate consistency note: agreed this is a real structural risk, not fixed in this PR — noting it as a follow-up rather than expanding this PR's scope further, since it's a refactor-for-safety rather than a correctness bug today (verified the current inline checks do match the helpers' logic). |
… skip path Pre-existing bug, unrelated to this branch's diff until now: create_bode_grid_plot() created the BitMapBackend, filled the background, drew the title, and drew the confidence legend BEFORE checking whether any axis actually has coherence-filtered data to plot. On the "all axes have insufficient coherence" early return, .present() was never called — but plotters-bitmap's BitMapBackend writes a best-effort fallback save on Drop when .present() was never called (see remove_stale_output_file's doc comment / IT #165), so this path silently wrote an incomplete placeholder PNG (background + title + legend only, no actual Bode charts) rather than skipping cleanly. Worse than the gap fixed in the other plot_functions files in this branch, since it actively produces bad output instead of just failing to clean up a stale one. Fix: moved the global_freq_min/max computation and the "any axis has data" check to before BitMapBackend::new() — pure reordering, no logic changed, matching this branch's cache-then-render design used everywhere else. The two earlier early returns in plot_bode_analysis (no sample rate, no valid transfer function data) also had the same missing-cleanup gap as every other plot_functions file fixed in daac3dd; output_file's definition was moved to the top of the function so both can call remove_stale_output_file too. Verified: cargo build/clippy/fmt/test/build --release all clean. Manually ran with --bode against a real log — still generates a correct Bode Analysis PNG on the success path (regression-tests the reordering). Could not naturally trigger the "insufficient coherence" skip branch with available real flight-log data (none is a low/no- coherence system-ID flight); verified correct by direct diff review — the change is a pure block move with no logic altered. Found via user-driven investigation after CodeRabbit's PR #166 motor_spectrums finding prompted a codebase-wide check for the same bug pattern; this instance predates and is unrelated to this PR's core diff. IT #165

@coderabbitai — AI generated comment Analysis requested on everything since your last analysis on this PR: the batch fix covering the same stale-output gap you found in plot_motor_spectrums.rs, now applied across 7 more plot_functions files (25 early-return sites total: plot_gyro_spectrums.rs, plot_psd.rs, plot_psd_db_heatmap.rs, plot_throttle_freq_heatmap.rs, plot_d_term_heatmap.rs, plot_d_term_psd.rs, plot_d_term_spectrums.rs), and a separate, pre-existing bug found in plot_bode.rs (unrelated to this PR's original diff) where create_bode_grid_plot() created the BitMapBackend and drew partial content (background/title/legend) before checking whether any axis had coherence-filtered data, silently writing an incomplete placeholder PNG on the "insufficient coherence" skip path via plotters-bitmap's Drop-triggered fallback save — fixed by reordering the data-validity check to before backend creation. |

P2 — Do not log Bode output as generated after the coherence skip In However, Make the helper return an explicit generated/skipped result, or move the coherence precheck into The reviewed cache-then-render paths otherwise work as intended:

CodeRabbit GitHub bot analysis on PR #166: create_bode_grid_plot() returns Ok(()) both when it renders a PNG and when it skips (all axes fail the coherence filter, from the 9674a00 fix). Its caller unconditionally printed "Generated Bode analysis plot: ..." on any Ok(_), so the console falsely claimed success on the skip path even though no PNG exists (report.rs's Skipped Plots list was already correct, since it checks Path::exists() independently — this was a console-message-only defect, not a data-integrity one). Changed create_bode_grid_plot()'s return type from Result<(), ...> to Result<bool, ...>: Ok(true) when actually rendered, Ok(false) when skipped. Caller now only prints "Generated" on Ok(true). Verified: build/clippy/fmt/test/release build clean. Re-ran --bode against a real log — success path still correctly prints "Generated Bode analysis plot" and the file matches. IT #165

@coderabbitai — AI generated comment Addressed the P2 finding in commit b596043: create_bode_grid_plot() now returns Result<bool, ...> (Ok(true) = rendered, Ok(false) = skipped) instead of Result<(), ...>, and the caller only prints "Generated Bode analysis plot" on Ok(true). Verified the success path still works correctly (re-ran --bode against a real log). Noted your other two points as pre-existing, acceptable state: the shared predicates duplicating loop conditions is a maintenance risk but not a current defect (agreed, not fixing in this PR), and the step-response read_dir() distinction is intentional (confirmed working as designed in the prior round). |

CodeRabbit GitHub bot analysis on PR #166: remove_stale_output_file() logged a deletion error but still returned success, so every skip path continued as if cleanup had worked. If deletion genuinely failed (permissions, the path being a directory, a busy file, etc. — the NotFound case was already handled correctly), the stale PNG survived and main.rs's Path::exists()-based classification would misreport it as generated by the current run while it was actually left over from an earlier one, with only a console warning and no way to notice from the .md report. Changed remove_stale_output_file()'s signature to -> std::io::Result<()>: still Ok(()) for the common "no prior run" case (NotFound), but now Err(e) for any other failure. Added `?` to all 31 call sites across plot_framework.rs's 3 shared drawing functions and the 9 plot_functions files touched earlier in this branch, so a genuine deletion failure now aborts that plot's generation with a visible error instead of silently continuing. Verified per CodeRabbit's suggested regression test: created a directory at the exact path a skip branch would try to clean up (forcing a real, non-NotFound removal failure), ran the tool, and confirmed the error is now visibly reported ("Failed to remove stale... Is a directory (os error 21)") and that file's processing aborts with a clear error, instead of silently misreporting the directory-blocked path as a generated plot. Re-ran the full 5-file batch to confirm no regression on the normal (no deletion failure) path. cargo clippy -D warnings, cargo fmt --check, cargo test, cargo build --release all clean. IT #165

@coderabbitai — AI generated comment Addressed in commit 8f1fb1b: remove_stale_output_file() now returns std::io::Result<()> (Ok(()) for the common no-prior-run case, Err for any genuine removal failure), and all 31 call sites propagate it with ?. Ran exactly the regression test you suggested: created a directory at a skip branch's expected PNG path to force a real deletion failure, confirmed the error is now visibly reported and that file's processing aborts, instead of silently misreporting the directory-blocked path as generated. Re-ran the full 5-file batch to confirm no regression on the normal path. |

The shared predicate duplication and the Step Response You are interacting with an AI system. |
User correction: this application's job is to analyze/render CSV into PNG and .md — nothing else. File deletion (even of the tool's own stale output from a prior run, even a read-only staleness check) was never a stated goal and was introduced unprompted while chasing a misclassification edge case (a leftover PNG from an earlier run being counted as "generated" by the current run, per CodeRabbit's original finding on commit b49fe67). If stale output ever needs cleaning up, that's a manual/operator task, not the application's responsibility. Removes remove_stale_output_file() entirely (plot_framework.rs) and all 31 call sites across plot_framework.rs's 3 shared drawing functions and 9 plot_functions/*.rs files. main.rs's png_links/ skipped_plots classification goes back to plain Path::exists() with no special handling for leftover files from prior runs — accepted as out of scope, not a bug this tool needs to solve. The core cache-then-render behavior from 6df2d8e — a run with no plottable data never calls BitMapBackend::new() at all, so it never writes a placeholder-only PNG of its OWN — is unchanged and unrelated to this revert; it's about this run's own output, not prior runs' leftovers. Verified: skip messages still fire correctly, skipped plots are still never written by the current run, no regression on the 5-file batch test. cargo clippy -D warnings, cargo fmt --check, cargo test, cargo build --release all clean.

…n-empty row is_heatmap_plot_config_valid and the render loop's has_data check both accepted a non-empty values row even when x_bins/y_bins was empty or shorter than values. draw_single_heatmap_chart iterates x_bins/y_bins, not values directly, so that state drew zero cells while still saving a PNG. Extracted has_plottable_heatmap_cell() requiring an indexable values[x_idx][y_idx] cell, shared by both checks so they can't disagree. Also qualifies README.md's Skipped Plots description: a stale PNG from an earlier run can suppress an entry from that list.

Learning: For this application, deleting stale PNG output files between runs is out of scope. In `src/main.rs`, `Path::exists()`-based PNG classification intentionally reports file presence rather than current-run provenance. A stale PNG from a prior run can therefore be reported as generated when the current run skips that plot; operators manage stale output.

"No plottable data for any axis:" was wrong for non-axis skip reasons — Motor Spectrums (per-motor), heatmaps (per-cell), and STFT-prerequisite skips. Both report.rs and OVERVIEW.md described the same axis-only framing; generalized to plain "No plottable data:".

…mework.rs (#171) AI Generated pull-request Closes #170 ## Summary - Adds a private `PlotDataValidity` enum (`Valid`/`NoDataPoints`/`InvalidRanges`) so `draw_stacked_plot`, `draw_dual_spectrum_plot`, and `draw_dual_heatmap_plot` call the same predicate the pre-render skip check uses, instead of re-deriving `has_data`/`valid_ranges` inline in each draw loop (the exact duplication CodeRabbit flagged repeatedly on PR #166, which it declined to file a follow-up for itself). This part is a pure refactor with zero behavior change. - Extracts the 3x-duplicated `"Skipping {plot_type_name}: no axis has data to plot."` console message into a single `print_no_axis_data_skip()` helper. Also zero behavior change. - Fixes `plot_d_term_heatmap.rs`'s own pre-check, which used a weaker `axis.unfiltered.is_some() || axis.filtered.is_some()` rule instead of the real validity predicate — structurally-present-but-empty/invalid data would pass this check and only get caught by the framework's later, stricter skip. Split `is_axis_heatmap_spectrum_valid` into a new `pub(crate) is_axis_heatmap_spectrum_data_valid()` taking `&AxisHeatmapSpectrum` directly (no `Option` wrapper, no clone needed) and pointed `plot_d_term_heatmap.rs` at it. Verified this is the only one of 13 similar callers with this weak-check pattern before fixing it. **This fix has one narrow, intentional console-output difference**, confirmed by CodeRabbit's GitHub bot analysis (see PR comment below): if every axis has structurally-present-but-invalid D-term heatmap data (`Some(HeatmapPlotConfig)` with no indexable cell, or an invalid range), the local pre-check now correctly detects that and prints `"INFO: No valid D-term heatmap data found for any axis. Skipping D-term heatmap plot generation."` — previously the weak check let this case fall through into `draw_dual_heatmap_plot`, which printed the generic `"⚠️ Skipping D-term Heatmap: no axis has data to plot."` instead. Neither path writes a PNG in this case, both before and after; `main.rs`'s Skipped Plots report classification (`main.rs:1630`) is `Path::exists()`-based, not console-text-based, so the `.md` report is unaffected either way. None of the 5 real logs used for verification below hit this exact edge case (structurally-present-but-invalid on every axis). - Adds 5 unit tests covering the new validity precedence (`plot_framework.rs` had no test coverage before this PR). ## Verification - `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings`: clean - `cargo fmt --all`: clean - `cargo build --release`: clean - `cargo test --all`: 141 passed, 0 failed (baseline 131 plus the 5 new tests, doubled by this crate's existing lib+bin dual test compilation — not introduced by this PR) - Live-run equivalence against all 5 real flight logs in `testy/*.csv` with `--extended`, diffing this branch's tip against a pre-change build of `origin/master`: identical file lists (70 files each), byte-identical console output, byte-identical `.md` reports (2 contain a real "Skipped Plots" section, confirming skip paths were exercised), and identical PNG md5sums for all 70 generated images — including all 5 D-term heatmap PNGs, confirming the heatmap fix's code path was actually exercised even though it doesn't change output on these particular sample logs (see the one known edge case it doesn't cover, noted above). - CodeRabbit local CLI (`coderabbit review --agent`): 0 findings. - CodeRabbit GitHub bot analysis: confirmed the `PlotDataValidity` precedence and the `is_axis_heatmap_spectrum_data_valid` split both preserve exact original semantics; surfaced the one console-message difference documented above (no blocking correctness issue). <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Bug Fixes** - Improved plot-data validation across stacked plots, dual-spectrum plots, and dual-heatmap plots. - Plot rendering now consistently identifies missing data and invalid ranges, providing clearer skip messages. - Heatmap generation now applies the same validation rules as other plot types, reducing inconsistent rendering behavior. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Summary
Fixes IT #165 (follow-up to PR #164 / IT #126): replaces the write-then-delete skip-render approach with cache-then-render, so "skip" means a PNG file is never written at all.
Core redesign
plot_framework.rs's 3 shared drawing functions (draw_stacked_plot,draw_dual_spectrum_plot,draw_dual_heatmap_plot) plusplot_motor_spectrums.rs's own copy now fetch and cache every axis's data first, decide whether any axis has real, plottable data, and only create theBitMapBackend/write a file if so. No file, no PNG encoding on the skip path — genuinely never written for this run, not written-then-deleted.is_stacked_axis_data_valid,is_plot_config_valid,is_axis_spectrum_valid,is_heatmap_plot_config_valid,is_axis_heatmap_spectrum_valid) ensure the pre-render skip check and the draw loop's own data-validity logic can never disagree — this was the main correctness trap flagged during design (see PR fix: warn and skip gyro plots when unfiltered data unavailable #164 discussion).plot_bode.rs'screate_bode_grid_plothad a separate, pre-existing bug (unrelated to this PR's original diff): it created theBitMapBackendand drew partial content (background/title/legend) before checking whether any axis had coherence-filtered data, silently writing an incomplete placeholder PNG on the "insufficient coherence" skip path viaplotters-bitmap's Drop-triggered fallback save. Fixed by reordering the data-validity check to before backend creation, matching this branch's cache-then-render design. Its caller also no longer reports "Generated" when the render was actually skipped.is_heatmap_plot_config_validand its matching render-loop check accepted a non-emptyvaluesrow without checking it againstx_bins/y_binslength —draw_single_heatmap_chartiterates the bins, notvaluesdirectly, so a bins/values mismatch could draw zero cells while still saving a background-only PNG. Fixed with a sharedhas_plottable_heatmap_cell()used by both checks.Report improvements
## Skipped Plotssection in the generated.mdreport, listing which enabled plot types had no plottable data for this run (reusing the same human-readable labels already shown in console warnings) — so a reader can tell "not requested" from "requested but empty" without cross-referencing console output. Omitted entirely when nothing was skipped. Classified viaPath::exists()on the expected output filename.Scope correction during review: an earlier version of this PR added a
remove_stale_output_file()helper to clean up a leftover PNG from an earlier run if the current run skipped that plot (otherwisePath::exists()-based classification could misreport an old file as "generated this run"). This was reverted — file deletion, even of the tool's own stale prior output, was never a stated goal for this application (it renders CSV into PNG/.md, nothing else); any stale-output cleanup between runs is an operator task, not something this tool should do. The known limitation this leaves: if a plot is skipped in a run where an older PNG from a previous run already exists at that path in the same--output-dir, the report will still list it under Generated Plots rather than Skipped Plots, since it only checks file existence, not provenance.Follow-up: IT #167 tracks moving pre-existing hardcoded numeric literals (Nyquist divisor, axis minima, label threshold, overlap-complement base) into named constants — flagged by review but predate this PR, only surfaced by line movement from the fixes above.
