Agents working on this core had no way to verify a change. There was no contract for which boards and sketches a diff affects, and nothing made a build compile against this checkout rather than an installed or linked adafruit:samd. The core had no hardware tests: nothing exercised USB CDC under either stack, or the time base, on a real board. AGENTS.md predates the agentrc layout that Adafruit TinyUSB Arduino and Adafruit SPIFlash use.
Solution
Build and HIL contracts on agentrc's arduino skill in core mode (hathach/agentrc#454, pinned at its merge commit 1f0decb in test/hil/agentrc.json):
CLAUDE.md replaces AGENTS.md, which becomes a symlink to it; .agents links to .claude.
Build contract (.claude/skills/build/): check_build.py is this core's profile. It covers CI's 12-variant matrix with tools/build_all.py's FQBNs and markers, every other boards.txt board, and the rig boards metro_m4_express (farm) and metro_m0_express (dev PC). Its selection rules run from startup.c and the USB stack to variants, boards.txt and the bundled libraries. Sketches compile through an isolated arduino-cli environment where this checkout is adafruit:samd. Contract tests hold the board table to CI's matrix and boards.txt to tools/makeboards.py's output.
HIL contract (.claude/skills/hil-contract/): three sketches in test/hil/. core_cdc and its copy core_cdc_tinyusb run INFO and ECHO of 1, 63, 64, 65 and 1000 bytes, each checked by crc32, under the Arduino and TinyUSB stacks. core_timing checks millis(), micros() and delay() against the host clock. The farm roster is test/hil/ci.json; a dev PC's is local.example.json.
CI: a pre-commit job runs the contract tests against the pinned agentrc. clang-format v15 applies to test/hil/ only.
Evidence
pre-commit run --all-files: passed (clang-format, contract tests).
check_build.py --base origin/master --worktree: pass. The 4 contract test suites passed, and the HIL sketches built on both rig boards from this checkout (platform 1.7.18) with submodules at their gitlinks.
ci.lan farm, metro_m4_express (ATSAMD51J19), run samd-core-hil-3 at 4ebd708 with agentrc dd0c58f (the same tree as 1f0decb):
cdc_arduino pass, cdc_tinyusb pass: echoed [1, 63, 64, 65, 1000] bytes on each stack.
timing pass: millis 3009 ms over host [3000.1, 3001.0] ms, micros 3008854 us, delay(1000) 1000000 us.
core_cdc was restored.
Not run on hardware: SAMD21. The farm has no SAMD21 board; metro_m0_express runs from a dev PC only.
The pull request adds agentrc source validation, a SAMD build-selection profile, and host/device HIL checks for USB CDC and timing. It also adds HIL firmware and configuration, repository guidance, tests, and CI validation hooks.

Merge Risk: Low · up to d9a43
This change adds build and hardware-test tooling and repository guidance. It does not alter the core's runtime behavior. Some earlier minor review concerns are not yet confirmed resolved, so the author should verify them. The merge risk is low.

Catch ValueError from int() in vid_pid().
int(..., 0) raises ValueError for a value such as 0x2341U, which C accepts. The exception escapes vid_pid() and compile_sketch(), so the build exits with a traceback and prints no JSON line. Return None for an unparsable value, as the malformed-argument path already does.

Staged engine modules run before their manifest digests are checked.
On a staged rig tree, hil_test.pymain() calls engine() during CLI initialization. engine() calls agentrc_pin.load('skills/arduino/scripts/arduino_hil.py'), which executes the staged module's top-level code. The digest comparison in verify_staged() runs later, when --staged is handled. A staged file changed after staging therefore runs its top-level code before the run refuses it. The run still stops at verify_staged() before hardware tests.
Compare each staged closure file with its digest in manifest.json inside the staged branch of load(), before loader() executes any staged module. Reuse the comparison that verify_staged() performs, and refuse the run before any staged engine code runs.

Bound the DELAY result by the host round trip.
test_timing() discards the host timestamps from the DELAY exchange and checks only the device-reported micros() delta. If the device clock advances by about 1000 ms during delay(1000), the delay returns early and the check still passes. The host send and reply times bound the real delay, so compare the device value against them.
Suggested fix

line reaches its newline, including the nonce if it is present in the stored
prefix. Preserve normal handling for lines that are not overlong, and keep
core_cdc_tinyusb equal to core_cdc.

check_build.py:174 (vid_pid() ValueError): not reachable.
The only -DUSB_VID/-DUSB_PID source is platform.txt:80 (-DUSB_VID={build.vid} -DUSB_PID={build.pid}), filled from the generated, contract-tested boards.txt.
Every distinct build.vid/build.pid in boards.txt parses with int(v, 0); no suffixed C literal can reach it.
agentrc_pin.pyload() before verify_staged(): the manifest check guards against drift, not tampering.
manifest.json, agentrc_pin.py, hil_test.py and the staged agentrc copy are in one staged tree, so anything able to alter agentrc/ can alter agentrc_pin.py (load() at agentrc_pin.py:223-225) or the manifest too.
delay() runs on micros() (cores/arduino/delay.c:98-103), and the sketch times it with micros() (test/hil/core_timing/core_timing.ino:65-68).
micros() is first checked against the host monotonic clock (hil_test.py:210-215: millis() within the host bracket, micros() within 2 ms of millis()), so delay() cannot return early while micros() advances 1000 ms.
.github/workflows/githubci.yml checkout token: fixed in f90cb4c; githubci.yml:13 sets persist-credentials: false on the pre-commit job's checkout.
.pre-commit-config.yamlfiles: pattern: fixed in 0cb3f9c; .pre-commit-config.yaml:19 now matches platform\.txt$.
AGENTS.md symlink: deliberate.
AGENTS.md -> CLAUDE.md and .agents -> .claude (both mode 120000) are the agentrc layout that keeps CLAUDE.md the single source.
A checkout without symlinks breaks .agents as well, so copying AGENTS.md alone fixes nothing and adds a second copy to keep in sync.
core_cdc.ino:95Serial.write() return: the PASS line is never the verdict on its own.
The host compares the echoed bytes byte-for-byte before parsing the reply (hil_test.py:152-164), so a dropped suffix fails as a short echo.
The CRC check at hil_test.py:163 covers what the device received, not what it sent.
core_cdc.ino:110 overlong line: no caller sends one.
The only sender is hil_test.py. Its commands (INFO|ECHO|TIME|DELAY <nonce><suffix> [n], nonce secrets.token_hex(4)) are about 25 characters, well under 63.
The discard is intentional and documented at core_cdc.ino:88 and core_timing.ino:80.

Problem
Agents working on this core had no way to verify a change. There was no contract for which boards and sketches a diff affects, and nothing made a build compile against this checkout rather than an installed or linked
adafruit:samd. The core had no hardware tests: nothing exercised USB CDC under either stack, or the time base, on a real board.AGENTS.mdpredates the agentrc layout that Adafruit TinyUSB Arduino and Adafruit SPIFlash use.Solution
Build and HIL contracts on agentrc's
