Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR changes rendering and flashing to use live connected-device state and adds cache self-healing. The current head can still crash or write incorrect key bindings for mismatched device data, fail to refresh overlays after device edits, and fail or crash during model installation and startup; these correctness and availability issues should be fixed before merging.

Line 231 derives

Inline comments:
In `@docs/custom-keyboards.md`:
- Around line 98-99: Update the generated JSON layer models location statement
to say models are read from the platform cache directory, specifically
~/.cache/keymap-overlay on Unix, instead of the platform configuration
directory.
In `@docs/design.md`:
- Around line 364-370: Update the custom-keycode metadata description near
generate_vial.py to state that labels use a single whitespace-free token, rather
than requiring a single-character display glyph; ensure examples such as USB-C
and PbyP are supported by the documented format.
Apply the same fix in `@AGENTS.md` around lines 69 - 73: Uses the same outdated
one-character description.
Apply the same fix in `@docs/custom-keyboards.md` around lines 52 - 54: Uses the
same outdated one-character requirement.
In `@installer/install.sh`:
- Around line 127-129: Update the cache asset check in the installer condition
to match only files whose complete basename is numeric before the asset
extension, consistent with the PowerShell installer and load_model_cache
expectations. Add a regression fixture covering a non-model filename with a
numeric prefix, such as a backup or suffixed basename.
In `@Makefile`:
- Around line 1129-1131: Add _force_build as a normal prerequisite of the
$(CONSOLIDATED_ASSET) rule in Makefile (lines 1129-1131) so VIAL assets
regenerate from the connected device on each requested build. Update AGENTS.md
(lines 197-202) to clarify that refreshes use connected device state, including
changes made through Vial GUI or flash-keymap, rather than unflashed keymap.c
edits.
In `@model/scripts/consolidate_layer_models.py`:
- Around line 62-71: Validate each decoded model with the existing Pydantic
model and a strict integer layer field before the filename comparison and layer
persistence in the consolidation flow. Use the validated layer value for the
comparison, key generation, duplicate detection, and storage, rejecting booleans
and other non-integer JSON values.
In `@model/scripts/fetch_vial_definition.py`:
- Around line 76-86: Validate the value returned by _read_definition_size before
entering the loop, rejecting zero and any size greater than 65536 *
REPORT_LENGTH. In the loop, validate each _send_recv reply has exactly
REPORT_LENGTH bytes before extending blocks; reject invalid or empty replies,
including timeouts represented by [].
In `@model/src/util.py`:
- Around line 104-112: Update the enum-entry parsing logic in util.py to reject
SAFE_RANGE, QK_USER_0, or QK_KB_0 assignments after the first member, preventing
mid-enum base resets from producing incorrect mappings. Preserve valid
first-member base assignments and the existing names-only contract used by
generate_custom_keycodes and generate_vial.
In `@overlay/keymap-overlay-generator/src/flash.rs`:
- Around line 148-177: Before calling resolve_flash_layout, validate every
matrix coordinate in mapping is within the device’s rows and cols, returning a
contextual error for any out-of-range coordinate. Also require every qmk_keymap
layer to have exactly mapping.len() entries; reject mismatches instead of
allowing padding or truncation.
In `@overlay/keymap-overlay-generator/src/main_flash_keymap.rs`:
- Around line 61-62: Change the dry-run status output after
serde_json::to_string_pretty to use stderr instead of stdout, while keeping the
generated JSON on stdout. Preserve the existing message and JSON serialization
behavior.
In `@overlay/keymap-overlay-generator/src/main_generator.rs`:
- Around line 30-31: Validate the pixels_per_unit argument in the CLI definition
so --pixels-per-unit accepts only positive values before reaching
device::read_keyboard_models. Update the pixels_per_unit argument configuration
to enforce a minimum of 1 while preserving the existing default of 64.
In `@overlay/keymap-overlay-generator/src/model.rs`:
- Around line 74-115: Extend validate_layer to verify layer.encoders has the
same count as the layout’s keyboard encoder count, and validate the base layer
encoder count before display-model generation can index it. Return descriptive
validation errors for mismatches so the indexing in display_encoders and
build_model cannot panic.
In `@overlay/keymap-overlay-runtime/src/self_heal.rs`:
- Around line 24-25: Update fill_missing_models to create asset_dir and any
required parent directories before invoking model generation or writing
generated files, while preserving existing error propagation through Result.
In `@overlay/platforms/windows/wpf/OverlayWindow.cs`:
- Around line 85-94: In the keyboard model loading flow, validate that
keyboardModels.Layers is non-null before the foreach enumeration, and skip any
entries whose model value is null before accessing Version or Layer. Preserve
the existing keyboard ID and version/layer checks for valid collections and
models.
In `@README.md`:
- Around line 338-339: Update the README instructions to write keymap.c to
EEPROM with make flash-keymap KEYBOARD_ID=<keyboard-id> before make
install-assets; alternatively document make install-assets VIAL=false for
source-based rendering.

failure includes anyhow context identifying the customKeycodes metadata input,
matching the existing context style in read_json and read_keyboard_models while
preserving the current empty/null handling.
In `@overlay/keymap-overlay-generator/src/keymap_c.rs`:
- Around line 202-251: Add tests for duplicate and sparse numeric layer
designators in parse_encoder_map: verify repeated designators return an error

empty layers while preserving the declared layer count and populated entries.
In `@overlay/keymap-overlay-generator/src/model.rs`:

- Around line 231-233: Add a concise explanatory comment near the `held`,
`transparent`, and `momentary_layer` assignments in the model-building logic,
documenting that `held` uses the display keycode after transparency fallthrough
while `momentary_layer` uses the raw keycode before fallthrough; preserve this

VIAL=true now reads the connected device directly instead of keymap.c for both custom keycode names and the dynamic keymap itself, so the overlay and flash-keymap reflect live Vial GUI edits, not just what keymap.c last compiled to. keymap.c stays authoritative for VIAL=false rendering and for flash-keymap, which always writes it to the device. Fixes a bug this surfaced: vitaly reports custom keycodes with its own generic QK_KB_<n> naming, which generate_overlay_asset.py didn't resolve, so USER0-style keys (e.g. this repo's Greek-letter keyboard) rendered as their raw keycode instead of the configured glyph. Consolidates each keyboard's installed layer models from one file per layer into a single <keyboard_id>.json, cutting installed-file count and simplifying the runtime's model cache. Replaces the Python VIAL=true pipeline with a native Rust generator (overlay/keymap-overlay-generator, vitaly as a library, one HID session) for both directions: reading the device to render the overlay, and writing keymap.c to the device for flash-keymap, with no read-merge-write round trip since only the keymap and encoder bindings are ever touched. A --dry-run flag resolves and prints what would be written without opening a write session. Adds startup self-heal: the running overlay now regenerates any <keyboard_id>.json missing from --asset-dir itself, once at startup, by shelling out to the new generator binary installed alongside it. This lets install-overlay stop depending on install-assets on macOS and Linux; install-assets keeps its own target for the WSL-to-Windows cross-generation workflow (no self-heal equivalent there yet) and as a manual force-refresh after editing keymap.c. A custom keycode's display glyph comes from a keymap.c comment on its enum entry (e.g. "// USB-C"); the parser originally required exactly one character, which silently dropped any multi-character glyph to a generic USER_<n> placeholder. Relaxed to any single whitespace-free token, which still rejects a prose comment but accepts hyphenated or short-word glyphs like "USB-C" or "PbyP".
