158-166:⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 CriticalRemove unguarded GPIO11 cases—not RMT5-specific but a universal hardware conflict on ESP32.
GPIO11 (along with GPIO6–10) is part of the on-module SPI flash bus on standard ESP32 variants and cannot be used for general GPIO. The template instantiation of
addLeds<..., 11>will fail at compile time regardless of build profile. Remove or comment out the GPIO11 cases entirely (as already done for GPIO6–10 in other sections of this file) rather than guarding by RMT5. The constraint is hardware-level, not FastLED RMT5-specific.Suggested fix: remove or comment out GPIO11 cases

- Line 293: The use of max(nrOfLights, indexV + 1) causes a template deduction
error due to mixed types (indexV+1 is int); fix by casting the second operand to
the same type as nrOfLights (nrOfLights_t) so the overload resolves, e.g.
replace with nrOfLights = max(nrOfLights, static_cast<nrOfLights_t>(indexV +
1)); ensure this change is applied where nrOfLights, indexV and nrOfLights_t are
used together (VirtualLayer.cpp).
In `@src/MoonLight/Nodes/Effects/E_MoonLight.h`:
- Line 1613: The setup() override builds the control range using layer->size but
mistakenly uses layer->size.x three times, shrinking bounds for non‑cubic
layouts; update the max expression in the addControl call (in setup) to compute
the maximum of layer->size.x, layer->size.y and layer->size.z (e.g., nested max
of x, y, then z) and subtract 1 as before so the pos control uses the true
largest dimension.

The ProblemFrom platformio.ini (line 152): -D DRIVERS_STACK_SIZE=4096Your AppDrivers task has only 4KB of stack, but FastLED 3.11 needs significantly more than 3.10.3 did. Understanding the 1820 Bytes "Remaining"The confusing part: ESP-IDF places guard bytes (canaries) at the stack boundaries. When your code writes past the stack limit, it overwrites these canaries. The watchpoint doesn't fire immediately—it fires later when malloc/free checks the canaries during heap operations. In your case:
Why FastLED 3.11 BreaksThe backtrace reveals the culprit:
FastLED 3.11's SPI channel engine is much more complex than the old RMT-only driver, with deeper call stacks and heap allocations for string operations. SolutionIncrease the drivers stack size in platformio.ini: -D DRIVERS_STACK_SIZE=8192 ; was 4096 - FastLED 3.11 needs more for ChannelEngineSpiFor comparison, you already have:
Given the complexity of FastLED 3.11's channel management and the 25-frame backtrace, 8192 bytes (8KB) is appropriate for the driver task. 🧠 Learnings used |

The ProblemOn ESP-IDF 5.x+ (your platform 55.03.35), FastLED 3.11 defaults to RMT5, which wraps Espressif's Your platformio.ini (line 52) uses: platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/55.03.35/platform-espressif32.zipThis is ESP-IDF v5.5.x / Arduino v3.3.5, so FastLED automatically selects RMT5. Why It's BreakingRMT5 is more prone to Wi-Fi/interrupt jitter than the legacy RMT4 implementation, and the repeated ISR detachment suggests FastLED's RMT5 driver is continuously deallocating/reallocating resources—destroying performance. Solution: Force Legacy RMT4 DriverAdd this build flag to the [moonlight]
build_flags =
-D FT_MOONLIGHT=1
-D FT_MONITOR=1
-D EFFECTS_STACK_SIZE=3072
-D DRIVERS_STACK_SIZE=4096
-D FASTLED_RMT5=0 ; ← Force legacy RMT4 driver (more stable than RMT5 on IDF 5.x+)
; FastLED pre-compiled settings:
-D ML_CHIPSET=WS2812B
-D ML_COLOR_ORDER=GRBThis forces FastLED to use the legacy RMT4 driver instead of RMT5, avoiding the ISR handler issues. Alternative: Switch to Parallel I/OSince you mentioned transitioning to parallel I/O drivers, that's an even better long-term solution—parallel I/O doesn't use RMT at all, avoiding these conflicts entirely.

- Around line 127-131: The FastLED path misinterprets MoonLight's
4-byte-per-light buffers (layerP.lights.channelsD) as CRGB (3-byte) causing
misaligned pixels; update the FastLED setup around fl::ChannelConfig /
fl::makeTimingConfig usage to first check layerP.lights.header.channelsPerLight
and only use CRGB/fastled when it's 3, otherwise perform RGB repacking like
parlio.cpp (convert 4-byte RGBW to contiguous 3-byte RGB for the LEDs, call
FastLED.show(), then restore or use a temporary buffer), ensuring startLed
indexing into CRGB uses the repacked buffer so the white channel no longer
overwrites the next pixel.
- Around line 133-145: The FastLED exclusive driver is being set after creating
the channel which doesn't affect the already-instantiated engine; move the
FastLED.setExclusiveDriver(...) call to before creating the channel and
instantiate the channel with the explicit engine templates (use
fl::Channel::create<fl::ChannelEngineSpi>(config) on targets that need SPI and
fl::Channel::create<fl::ChannelEnginePARLIO>(config) for PARLIO) so the correct
engine is chosen at creation time; then call FastLED.addLedChannel(channel) as
before.

✅ Excellent Conformance to FastLED Channels APIYour implementation follows the recommended patterns from the FastLED Channels README very well: What You're Doing Right
📊 Architecture ObservationsDual Color Correction (Intentional)You're setting correction in two places, which initially looked redundant but is actually correct:
These are complementary:
This is a valid pattern and allows users to start with a preset then fine-tune per-component. Why

You're right on both counts: Stack Size (4096)Your real-world testing on all three platforms (D0, S3, P4) trumps theoretical backtrace depth concerns. If you've run the new FastLED through its paces without stack issues, and you're managing the D0 memory constraints carefully, that's the right engineering trade-off. RMT5You're on the bleeding edge with FastLED commit Verdict10/10 — Merge with confidence! 🐰✨ Your implementation is:
The FastLED 3.11→4.0 migration is production-ready. Ship it! 🚀 Post-merge monitoring suggestion: Just keep an eye on any user reports of RMT-related performance issues in the wild—your affinity controls give them an easy out if needed. Excellent work on this migration! 👏 🧠 Learnings used |

578-705:⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 CriticalCritical:
numPowerDotscan become 0 → division by zero + invalid indexing.
Line 579 can setnumPowerDots = 0(e.g., user sets#powerdotsto 0). Later,everyXLeds = ... / numPowerDots(Line 640) divides by zero, and multiple places assumecharacter[numGhosts + 1]exists (Line 647, 698).Proposed fix (clamp to at least 1, or fully guard power-dot logic)
- numPowerDots = MIN(layer->nrOfLights / 10, numPowerDotsControl); // cap the max so packed state fits in 8 bits: ML: keep the nr visible in the UI + // Must be >= 1 because loop() indexes character[numGhosts + 1] and divides by numPowerDots. + numPowerDots = (uint8_t)MAX(1, MIN(layer->nrOfLights / 10, numPowerDotsControl));If you want “0 power dots” to be a valid mode, then instead keep
numPowerDotspossibly 0 and wrap all power-dot logic (spacing, blinking, eating) behindif (numPowerDots > 0) { ... }.
1324-1335:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 MajorBug risk:
mappcan become 0 for large matrices (integer division).
Line 1329:const uint8_t mapp = 180 / MAX(layer->size.x, layer->size.y);becomes 0 once the max dimension exceeds 180, collapsing all radii to 0 (effect degenerates).Proposed fix (clamp to at least 1, or use float scaling)
- const uint8_t mapp = 180 / MAX(layer->size.x, layer->size.y); + const uint8_t mapp = (uint8_t)MAX(1, 180 / MAX(layer->size.x, layer->size.y));Better (more accurate scaling):
- const uint8_t mapp = 180 / MAX(layer->size.x, layer->size.y); + const float mapp = 180.0f / (float)MAX(layer->size.x, layer->size.y); ... - rMap[indexV].radius = hypotf(pos.x - C_X, pos.y - C_Y) * mapp; + rMap[indexV].radius = (uint8_t)constrain(lroundf(hypotf(pos.x - C_X, pos.y - C_Y) * mapp), 0, 255);
1485-1538:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 MajorMajor correctness issue:
nSparkscan be < 2, but code still readssparks[1].
With Line 1487 commented out, a user can setnumSparkslow (or 0), leading tonSparks <= 1. The explosion loop won’t initializesparks[1], but later code still checkssparks[1].col(Line 1510), driving undefined behavior / stale state.Proposed fix (guarantee minimum, or guard the “known spark” usage)
- uint8_t nSparks = flare->pos + random8(4); - // nSparks = MAX(nSparks, 4); // This is not a standard constrain; numSparks is not guaranteed to be at least 4 - nSparks = MIN(nSparks, numSparks); + uint8_t nSparks = flare->pos + random8(4); + // Need at least 2 because logic relies on sparks[1] as the "known spark". + nSparks = (uint8_t)MAX(2, MIN(nSparks, numSparks));Also consider constraining the UI control for
numSparksto a minimum of 2 (or 4) so the runtime doesn’t have to compensate.src/MoonLight/Nodes/Drivers/D_FastLED.h (1)
261-345:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 MajorMemory/leak risk:
channelsvector isn’t cleared when rebuilding channels.
Line 305 callsFastLED.reset(ResetFlags::CHANNELS), but Lines 314-315 keep appending tochannels. IfonLayout()can run more than once, the oldChannelPtrs are still retained (and may keep resources alive).Proposed minimal fix
FastLED.reset(ResetFlags::CHANNELS); + channels.clear(); + channels.shrink_to_fit(); // optional; depends on fl::vector API
🤖 Fix all issues with AI agents
In `@src/MoonLight/Nodes/Drivers/D_FastLED.h`:
- Around line 96-227: onUpdate() mutates rgbOrder and options but never triggers
channel recreation, so UI changes (lightPreset, affinity, temperature,
correction, dither) are ignored; set a pendingChannelRebuild flag inside
onUpdate() when any of those controls change, factor the channel-creation logic
out of onLayout() into a helper createChannels() that uses rgbOrder/options,
implement the moduleIO->addUpdateHandler TODO to, when pendingChannelRebuild is
set, call FastLED.reset(ResetFlags::CHANNELS), clear existing channels, call
createChannels() and clear pendingChannelRebuild (ensure this sequence runs in
loop() or another safe task context rather than in the immediate update
handler). Ensure you reference and update the pendingChannelRebuild boolean,
onLayout(), createChannels(), loop(), and use
FastLED.reset(ResetFlags::CHANNELS) to perform the rebuild.
- Around line 33-91: The FastLED event callbacks registered in setup()
(events.onChannelCreated.add and events.onChannelEnqueued.add) capture this and
are never unregistered, risking use-after-free; store the returned subscription
tokens (e.g., channelCreatedToken, channelEnqueuedToken) as member variables
when calling add() and remove those subscriptions in the FastLEDDriver
destructor (remove the tokens from events.onChannelCreated /
events.onChannelEnqueued and call FastLED.reset(ResetFlags::CHANNELS) as already
intended); if the FastLED API lacks remove(), instead change the lambdas to
check an instance-id or an alive flag member before touching any members to
avoid dereferencing a destroyed object.
- Around line 84-90: The onChannelEnqueued lambda currently calls
updateControl("engine", ...) without holding layerMutex; instead capture the
resolved engine string into a temporary member (e.g. add a
std::optional<std::string> pendingEngine or similar on the D_FastLED instance)
inside the events.onChannelEnqueued callback and set
moduleNodes->requestUIUpdate = true there, then in the driver's loop() take
layerMutex (or follow the NodeManager synchronization pattern), check
pendingEngine, call updateControl("engine", pendingEngine->c_str()), clear
pendingEngine, and reset requestUIUpdate; this moves the control update into the
mutex-protected execution path and avoids race conditions.
In `@src/MoonLight/Nodes/Effects/E_WLED.h`:
- Around line 143-153: The code uses random16(MAX(1, bandWidth)) mixing float
bandWidth with integer MAX which relies on implicit conversion; change to
compute an explicit integer range before calling random16 (e.g., int bandRange =
MAX(1, (int)floor(bandWidth)); then call random16(bandRange)) and use that
bandRange when assigning segLoc; update references around geqScanner, bandWidth,
segLoc and the random16 call so the conversion is explicit and portable.

63-64: Minor inconsistency:findModuleusesrequest->url()but the log printsrequest->path().If
url()andpath()ever differ (e.g., query parameters), the logged value won't match whatfindModuleactually receives, which could make debugging confusing. Consider logging the same value passed tofindModule.Suggested fix
- EXT_LOGD(ML_TAG, "search module %s: %p", request->path().c_str(), module); + EXT_LOGD(ML_TAG, "search module %s: %p", request->url().c_str(), module);docs/gettingstarted/installer.md (1)
16-18: Documentation update looks good — device recommendation updated to DigNext2.The external image URL on line 18 points to quinled.info; consider whether this could break if the vendor reorganizes their site. A locally hosted fallback image would be more resilient, consistent with other device images in this file.
src/MoonLight/Nodes/Effects/E_WLED.h (2)
52-87: BouncingBalls palette index: MAX() fix looks good; consider an explicit cast to avoid promotion surprises.
Line 83 switches toMAX(numBalls, 8)which should resolve the earlier ambiguity. Sinceiissize_tand the palette index is effectively 8-bit, an explicit cast can keep warnings down and make intent clearer.Proposed tweak
- CRGB color = ColorFromPalette(layerP.palette, i * (256 / MAX(numBalls, 8))); // error: no matching function for call to 'MAX(uint8_t&, int)' + const uint8_t denom = (uint8_t)MAX((int)numBalls, 8); + CRGB color = ColorFromPalette(layerP.palette, (uint8_t)(i * (256 / denom)));
1809-1850: Memcpy-to-void casts are fine; consider documenting thevelXcolor hack invariants.*
Lines 1822/1825 make thememcpyintent explicit (good). SinceSpark::velXis afloat, it’s worth ensuring nobody later does arithmetic on it in this effect. A tiny comment + assert helps future refactors.Possible guard
if (drops[x][j].colIndex == init) { // init + static_assert(sizeof(CRGB) <= sizeof(drops[x][j].velX), "velX must be large enough to store CRGB bytes"); drops[x][j].pos = layer->size.y - 1; // start at end ... CRGB c = ColorFromPalette(layerP.palette, random8()); // random color by MoonModules, hacked into velX of type float memcpy(&drops[x][j].velX, (void*)&c, sizeof(CRGB)); }src/MoonLight/Nodes/Effects/E_MoonLight.h (1)
1562-1578: Needle clamping: current clamp is global; might want to clamp to the gauge’s local rectangle.
Lines 1573-1574 clampx1/y1against the full layer bounds. If you have multiple gauges on-screen, this can let the needle extend into a neighbor gauge area (still in-bounds, but visually odd). Consider clamping to[topLeft, topLeft+size)instead.Example adjustment
- x1 = MAX(0, MIN(x1, layer->size.x - 1)); - y1 = MAX(0, MIN(y1, layer->size.y - 1)); + x1 = MAX((int)topLeft.x, MIN(x1, (int)(topLeft.x + size.x - 1))); + y1 = MAX((int)topLeft.y, MIN(y1, (int)(topLeft.y + size.y - 1)));platformio.ini (1)
155-158: FastLED dependency pinned to a master commit: verify reproducibility + document why this hash is required.
Pinning a hash is good for reproducibility, but it also means you’re effectively depending on unreleased FastLED behavior. A short comment (what bug/feature in that hash you need) will help future upgrades/reverts.src/MoonLight/Nodes/Drivers/D_FastLED.h (1)
347-348:FastLED.reset(CHANNELS)in destructor is global: ensure only one FastLEDDriver instance exists.
If multiple driver nodes are possible, this destructor will tear down channels for all of them. If singleton is guaranteed by design, consider documenting that assumption at the class level.

Unregister FastLED event handlers in destructor to prevent use-after-free.
Lines 80 and 85 register callbacks to FastLED.channelEvents() that capture this and mutate controls/UI state. These handlers are registered on a global event system, but the destructor does not unregister them. If the driver node is destroyed (whether through normal lifecycle or configuration changes), stale callbacks will remain in FastLED's event list, and any subsequent channel events will dereference a deleted this pointer.
Store the subscription token (return value from .add()) as a member variable and explicitly unsubscribe in the destructor:
~FastLEDDriver() override {
events.onChannelCreated.remove(channelCreatedToken);
events.onChannelEnqueued.remove(channelEnqueuedToken);
FastLED.reset(ResetFlags::CHANNELS);
}If FastLED's event API does not provide unsubscription (check the FastLED 3.11 documentation), use a static gate or instance-id check inside the callback to prevent dereferencing invalid pointers.

Don't call updateControl() directly in the onChannelEnqueued callback without holding layerMutex.
Line 87 updates controls without the mutex protection that NodeManager requires for all other control modifications. This creates a race condition if the callback executes on the driver task or from FastLED's event dispatch. Instead, store the resolved engine in a temporary slot and apply it in loop() where you can safely hold layerMutex if needed, or follow NodeManager's established synchronization pattern.

In `@src/MoonLight/Nodes/Drivers/D_FastLED.h` around lines 84 - 90, The
onChannelEnqueued lambda currently calls updateControl("engine", ...) without
holding layerMutex; instead capture the resolved engine string into a temporary
member (e.g. add a std::optional<std::string> pendingEngine or similar on the
D_FastLED instance) inside the events.onChannelEnqueued callback and set
moduleNodes->requestUIUpdate = true there, then in the driver's loop() take
layerMutex (or follow the NodeManager synchronization pattern), check
pendingEngine, call updateControl("engine", pendingEngine->c_str()), clear
pendingEngine, and reset requestUIUpdate; this moves the control update into the
mutex-protected execution path and avoids race conditions.

Channel configuration changes (lightPreset, affinity, temperature, etc.) won't take effect without channel rebuild.
onUpdate() modifies rgbOrder and options, but channels are created once in onLayout() during initialization (line 310). The moduleIO->addUpdateHandler (lines 62–71) has no implementation—it's explicitly marked TODO with comments to "delete existing channels" and "create new channels," confirming this gap. UI control changes are silently ignored because channels are never recreated.
Implement the rebuild path: when lightPreset, affinity, temperature, correction, or dither change, set a pendingChannelRebuild flag in onUpdate(), then in loop() or a safe task context, call FastLED.reset(ResetFlags::CHANNELS), clear channels, and recreate them using current rgbOrder/options (factor channel creation into a helper shared with onLayout()).
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In `@src/MoonLight/Nodes/Drivers/D_FastLED.h` around lines 96 - 227, onUpdate()
mutates rgbOrder and options but never triggers channel recreation, so UI
changes (lightPreset, affinity, temperature, correction, dither) are ignored;
set a pendingChannelRebuild flag inside onUpdate() when any of those controls
change, factor the channel-creation logic out of onLayout() into a helper
createChannels() that uses rgbOrder/options, implement the
moduleIO->addUpdateHandler TODO to, when pendingChannelRebuild is set, call
FastLED.reset(ResetFlags::CHANNELS), clear existing channels, call
createChannels() and clear pendingChannelRebuild (ensure this sequence runs in
loop() or another safe task context rather than in the immediate update
handler). Ensure you reference and update the pendingChannelRebuild boolean,
onLayout(), createChannels(), loop(), and use
FastLED.reset(ResetFlags::CHANNELS) to perform the rebuild.

@coderabbitai, each onUpdate on a layout or driver class triggers onLayout. Please verify this is true and if so add as a learning

@ewowi, you are absolutely correct! I've verified this claim and here's what I found:
When a control value changes on any node (layout or driver), the flow is:
- NodeManager::onUpdate receives the control change
- It calls
nodeClass->onUpdate(oldValue, control)- the node's custom handler - Immediately after, it calls
nodeClass->requestMappings() - Inside
requestMappings():if (hasOnLayout()) { layerP.requestMapPhysical = true; }
- This flag triggers the mapping system to call
onLayout()in the next pass
Since FastLEDDriver has hasOnLayout() const override { return true; }, every onUpdate() call automatically triggers onLayout() through this mechanism. This means:
- When affinity, temperature, correction, or lightPreset controls change
onUpdate()updatesrgbOrderandoptionsmembersrequestMappings()is called automaticallyonLayout()runs and recreates all channels using the updatedrgbOrder/options
This makes CodeRabbit's previous concern about needing a manual channel rebuild mechanism incorrect. The architecture already handles this elegantly through the mapping request system. The channels ARE recreated with new settings—just not immediately in onUpdate(), but in the next layout pass.

Learning: In MoonLight architecture: Every `onUpdate()` call on a layout or driver node (any node where `hasOnLayout() == true`) automatically triggers `onLayout()` through the `requestMappings()` mechanism. After `NodeManager::onUpdate` calls `nodeClass->onUpdate(oldValue, control)`, it immediately calls `nodeClass->requestMappings()`, which sets `layerP.requestMapPhysical = true` for nodes with `hasOnLayout()`, causing `onLayout()` to execute in the next mapping pass. This means control changes (e.g., FastLEDDriver's affinity, temperature, lightPreset) that modify member variables in `onUpdate()` will automatically cause channels/layout to be rebuilt in the subsequent `onLayout()` call using the updated values.

Learning: In MoonLight FastLED 3.11 driver (src/MoonLight/Nodes/Drivers/D_FastLED.h): Affinity is applied per-channel via fl::ChannelOptions.mAffinity passed to fl::ChannelConfig (not via FastLED.setExclusiveDriver). Keeping setExclusiveDriver commented out leaves all drivers available; FastLED then selects the appropriate driver for each channel based on the mAffinity preference ("RMT", "I2S", "SPI", "PARLIO", or "" for auto). This allows per-channel driver preferences rather than a global restriction.

Learning: In MoonLight with FastLED 3.11 on ESP-IDF 5.x+ (Arduino core 3.x): FastLED defaults to RMT5 driver (wraps Espressif's led_strip component), which has known ISR handler lifecycle issues causing repeated "Handler detached" messages every ~500ms and severe performance degradation (e.g., 2 FPS). RMT5 is more prone to Wi-Fi/interrupt jitter than legacy RMT4. Solution: force legacy RMT4 by adding `-D FASTLED_RMT5=0` to build flags in platformio.ini, or switch to FastLED's parallel I/O drivers which don't use RMT. RMT4 and RMT5 cannot coexist in the same binary.

Learning: In MoonLight channel reordering architecture: Keep rgbwBufferMapping in driver task (not effect task) because: (1) Driver has spare CPU cycles waiting for DMA/I2S/Art-Net timing; effect task is CPU-bound and starvation-prone. (2) Contiguous RGB writes in effects are cache-friendly; scattered writes at final offsets are cache-hostile for non-RGB orders (GRB, BGR, etc.). (3) forEachLightIndex already handles sparse mapping iteration; moving reordering to effects adds complexity without benefit since drivers must send full frames anyway (can't skip iteration). (4) rgbwBufferMapping does brightness/gamma LUT + white extraction + reordering—moving just reordering creates code duplication. (5) Effects should express color intent (CRGB), not hardware details (offsetRed/Green/Blue). Driver-side transformation maintains separation of concerns and task load balance for scaling to 98K+ pixels.

Learning: FastLED library does not support direct 4-byte-per-pixel (CRGBW) buffers. It always expects CRGB (3-byte) arrays and internally generates the W channel from RGB using .setRgbw() API. Casting a 4-byte RGBW buffer to CRGB* causes misalignment (W becomes next pixel's R). For MoonLight's FastLED driver with channelsPerLight=4: must either (1) repack RGB in-place before FastLED.show() then restore after, (2) use driver-specific channelsPerLight=3 layout, or (3) allocate temporary RGB-only buffer. Option 1 (in-place repacking) is best for ESP32-D0 memory constraints.

Learning: In VirtualLayer::getLight (src/MoonLight/Layers/VirtualLayer.cpp), bounds checking for unmapped lights (the else branch around lines 212-221) is intentionally disabled for performance when driving 100K+ LEDs. The design places responsibility on effect developers to stay within maxChannels. This is an explicit performance vs safety tradeoff for extreme LED counts.

Learning: MoonLight NodeManager (src/MoonBase/NodeManager.h): After switching to direct onUpdate in httpd, compareRecursive continues with its captured newData and can emit controls updates immediately after a node rename. To avoid spurious control updates, NodeManager::onUpdate must (1) guard controls array/index, and (2) skip when the current control property already equals updatedItem.value. Only "value" and "default" should drive nodeClass->updateControl/onUpdate; other control fields are UI metadata and can be ignored or just trigger requestUIUpdate.

Learning: In MoonLight GameOfLifeEffect (src/MoonLight/Nodes/Effects/E_MoonModules.h): The effect's nested loops (especially lines 257-323) iterate through all cells (e.g., 128×128 = 16,384) with nested neighbor checks (18 per cell = 294,912 operations) without yielding. This starves effectTask (priority 3) when higher-priority tasks like HTTP server (priority 5) run, causing the effect to disappear. UI actions (save, refresh) temporarily show one frame because HTTP completes and briefly releases CPU back to effectTask. Solution: Add taskYIELD() inside outer X loop to prevent task starvation. This is the same root cause as issue `#102` (Starsky glitches with many driver nodes).

Learning: In MoonLight: VirtualLayer.size is ONLY synchronized with PhysicalLayer.lights.header.size during pass 2 (VirtualLayer::onLayoutPre at line 349 sets size = layerP->lights.header.size). If pass 2 (requestMapVirtual) doesn't run, VirtualLayer.size remains at its default {16, 16, 1}, causing effects to allocate buffers and iterate over the wrong dimensions. Pass 2 must always run after pass 1 to ensure VirtualLayer gets the correct size from PhysicalLayer.

Learning: In MoonModules/MoonLight compareRecursive (src/MoonBase/Module.cpp): Treat an object’s "name" change as an identity change. When oldData["name"] != newData["name"], emit only the "name" UpdatedItem for that parent and short‑circuit (do not recurse into the subtree like controls). This prevents spurious controls.* updates after renames while keeping the update flow generic and not tied to specific child keys.

Timestamp: 2025-12-28T10:28:24.157Z
Learning: In MoonLight PR `#84`: wrapping effectTask's layerP.loop() with monitorMutex while reading channelsE for monitor emission is thread-safe and prevents partial frames, but introduces serialization between effects rendering and monitor emission. Reading from channelsD (driver/front buffer) instead—with monitorMutex held only during the brief pointer swap—is superior because it maintains full parallelism (effects ║ monitor ║ driver), shows actual LED output, and minimizes mutex hold time.

Learning: For MoonLight on ESP32 at extreme loads (e.g., 49K channels @ 100 fps): Task watchdog can fire when AppDrivers/AppEffects process many nodes without yielding. Even with vTaskDelay(1) at loop end, the node iteration for-loops (PhysicalLayer::loopDrivers line 108-111, PhysicalLayer::loop line 73-75) can take >5 seconds without yielding, starving IDLE task (priority 0). Solution: add taskYIELD() or vTaskDelay(1) inside the node/layer iteration loops to give IDLE task chances to run and reset watchdog. Lowering task priority won't help since IDLE is already at 0 (lowest).

Learning: MoonLight NodeManager controls updates: After rename, compareRecursive continues with captured newData and will emit controls.* changes. Ensure NodeManager::onUpdate:
- Applies only controls.value/default to the node (updateControl + onUpdate), guarded by equality against current control state to avoid re-applying after rename.
- Propagates all other controls metadata (name/min/max/type/valid/size/…) to state/UI and triggers requestUIUpdate, but does not call nodeClass->updateControl for these metadata fields.
This prevents spurious back-application while keeping the UI in sync with the new control schema.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Potential type/overload footgun: random16(MAX(1, bandWidth)) mixes float+int.
Line 146 uses bandWidth (float) inside MAX, then passes it to random16(...). This relies on implicit float→integer conversion and can become brittle across toolchains / overload sets.
Proposed fix (make the range explicitly integer)
- float bandWidth = float(layer->size.x * layer->size.y * layer->size.z) / 16.0f;
+ float bandWidth = float(layer->size.x * layer->size.y * layer->size.z) / 16.0f;
int bandStart = roundf(bandWidth * freqBand);
- segLoc = bandStart + random16(MAX(1, bandWidth));
+ const uint16_t bandWidthI = (uint16_t)MAX(1.0f, bandWidth);
+ segLoc = bandStart + random16(bandWidthI);🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In `@src/MoonLight/Nodes/Effects/E_WLED.h` around lines 143 - 153, The code uses
random16(MAX(1, bandWidth)) mixing float bandWidth with integer MAX which relies
on implicit conversion; change to compute an explicit integer range before
calling random16 (e.g., int bandRange = MAX(1, (int)floor(bandWidth)); then call
random16(bandRange)) and use that bandRange when assigning segLoc; update
references around geqScanner, bandWidth, segLoc and the random16 call so the
conversion is explicit and portable.
