# v1.0.10 — The soak loop stops spinning flat out, and shows you what is still running

## ✨ New features

**Every soak round now reports the background jobs**
* Script B's monitoring loop prints `bgctl list` (platform jobs) and `jobs` (the login shell's own background jobs) on every pass, right after the platform data. A stress job that dies three hours into an overnight soak now shows up as a shorter list on the next round, instead of only being noticed at the end — or not at all.
* The two lists answer different questions and are both worth having: `bgctl` knows about the platform's job runner, `jobs` knows about anything the macro backgrounded in that shell.

**A single table for all 144 margin channels**
* `docs/LTC2980_channel_map.csv` flattens the nine `settings/*.conf` files into one sheet — `Board,CONN,Ch,NetName,Vnom` — so "which board and channel is `PVDD1V5_TSC` on?" is one search instead of opening nine files.
* `tools/gen_channel_map.sh` regenerates it. **The CSV is output, not source**: edit the `.conf` files and re-run the script, never the other way round.
* Unused channels stay in the table as `NC` / `-` rather than being dropped, because the channel number is also the PMBus page (`ch / 8` picks the chip, `ch % 8` picks the page) — filtering the gaps out would shift everything after them.

**The bench command lists that these scripts came from**
* `tools/100G_PRBS.txt`, `tools/TR518.txt` and `tools/fan_ctrl.txt` join the existing `traffic_loopback_*.txt` set: the raw `bcmcmd` / sysfs sequences, kept in the form you can paste into a console when a script is misbehaving and you want to drive the hardware directly.

## 🐛 Bug fixes

**The soak loop ran as fast as the DUT could answer**
* `while 1` had no pause at all, so each round started the moment the previous one finished. Over a long soak that means constant console traffic and a log full of near-identical samples taken seconds apart. The loop now ends each round with `pause 60`.
* Note the gap this leaves: the Status sheet asks for a 10-minute sampling interval, and 60 seconds is still hard-coded rather than configurable. This makes the loop sane, it does not finish the job.

**A comment promised a cadence the code never had**
* The loop was labelled `Get data every 10mins` while running with no delay whatsoever. It now says what it does.

**After copying to the DUT:**

```bash
chmod +x ~/Blanton_Script/*.sh      # see below
grep -rlU $'\r' ~/Blanton_Script    # expect no output
```

`mgmt_ping_monitor.sh` and `port_prbs_monitor.sh` launch their workers through `bash`, so those two run without the execute bit. `bmc_monitor.sh` and `usb_target.sh` still need it, and neither git (mode 100644) nor a Windows/USB copy carries it. Without the `chmod`, `start` fails with `Permission denied` and the later `cat` finds nothing: **the section ends up empty and nothing reports an error.**

## ⚠️ Before you run

* **Declare the switch population.** `SWB_UNIT0` / `SWB_UNIT1` in `config.ttl` say which switch units this DUT has; traffic and the readiness gate both follow them.
* **Set `FAN_SPEED`.** It is applied at the start of every run.
* **Management connectivity is in use, not preserved.** Both management NICs are up and pinging — drive the run from the serial console.
* **PRBS is still not wired into the macros.** Run `port_prbs_monitor.sh` by hand if you want it; the calls in A/B/C remain commented out, unchanged from v1.0.9.
* **TR518 and the loopback traffic test cannot both run.** `tools/TR518.txt` sets `port all lb=mac` and `l2 learn off` across the whole unit, which is the same hardware `blanton_traffic_linespeed` is using. Pick one.
* **Two settings persist to `config_db.json`** and survive a reboot: LLDP is left disabled and the 100G uplinks are left configured. Restore them before the DUT moves on.
