Closes #1369.

The decision

The issue leaves one thing open: what to call it. This picks .fetch,
from the three candidates it offered.

  • .blob describes the payload, not the pointer — track.mp3.blob reads as
    though the file is the blob, which is the opposite of what it is.
  • .remote is an adjective; track.mp3.remote does not say what the file does.
  • .fetch names what the build does with it, and track.mp3.fetch reads as
    "fetch instructions for track.mp3". It also matches the existing
    fbuild-packages-fetch vocabulary.

Easy to change before anything ships — the write side is one format!.

What changed

.lnk keeps the runtime asset-link role. fbuild lnk add now writes .fetch,
and both extensions are read, so pointers written before this keep working.

Three places stripped ".lnk" by hand:

  • embed::materialize_lnk_entry
  • materialize::strip_lnk_suffix
  • (plus has_lnk_extension as the recognizer)

Each would have recognized a .fetch and then refused it — the scanner finds
it, materialize hard-errors with "does not end in .lnk". strip_pointer_extension
is now the single definition, alongside is_blob_pointer (which replaces
has_lnk_extension, whose name would otherwise be a lie).

The warning that was telling users their correct file was broken

The scanner logged skipping malformed .lnk file for anything that failed JSON
parse. But a .lnk that will not parse as JSON is far more likely FastLED's
runtime asset link — plain text, read on-device, not fbuild's to resolve
than a corrupt blob pointer. It now says so. .fetch is unambiguously ours and
keeps the blunt wording.

Verification

RED first: is_blob_pointer / strip_pointer_extension tests failed to compile,
then passed. Switching the e2e fixture to .fetch surfaced the third strip site
(materialize::strip_lnk_suffix) as a real failure rather than by inspection.

  • soldr cargo test -p fbuild-toolchain --lib lnk:: — 47 passed, 0 failed
  • soldr cargo test -p fbuild-packages --test lnk_e2e — 4 passed, 0 failed
  • workspace clippy -D warnings — clean

lnk_e2e covers both spellings on purpose: the main pipeline run uses .fetch,
and lnk_pipeline_rejects_sha_mismatch deliberately keeps .lnk so back-compat
is demonstrated by a passing run rather than claimed in a comment.

Out of scope

Per the issue's own open questions:

  • Q1 is answered above.
  • Q2 — the fbuild lnk subcommand name is unchanged (the issue keeps it),
    and no deprecation warning is emitted for .lnk reads; the window is still
    open.
  • Q3 — whether assets.json folds into this form is untouched.

Internal vocabulary (LnkFile, DiscoveredLnk, the lnk module) is also
unchanged. The issue prices this at "one rename"; renaming the type surface
would be scope bloat.

Nothing in FastLED needs to change: its runtime .lnk files keep their
extension and their parser, which is the point of the split.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The build-time blob-pointer extension changes from .lnk to .fetch. Legacy .lnk blob pointers remain supported. Runtime .lnk asset links are distinguished during scanning, materialization, CLI operations, tests, and documentation.

Changes

Blob-pointer extension migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pointer detection and materialization
crates/fbuild-toolchain/src/lnk/embed.rs, crates/fbuild-toolchain/src/lnk/materialize.rs, crates/fbuild-toolchain/src/lnk/mod.rs
Shared helpers recognize .fetch and legacy .lnk pointers. Materialization strips either suffix and reports both supported suffixes in validation errors.
Discovery, build integration, and CLI behavior
crates/fbuild-toolchain/src/lnk/scanner.rs, crates/fbuild-build-esp/src/esp32/orchestrator/embed_stage.rs, crates/fbuild-cli/src/cli/*, crates/fbuild-packages/tests/lnk_e2e.rs
Scanning and embed expansion accept both pointer extensions. Embed expansion rejects entries that materialize to the same target path. fbuild lnk add defaults to .fetch, while explicit output paths remain unchanged. Tests cover new and legacy pointers.
Documentation alignment
crates/fbuild-toolchain/src/lnk/README.md, agents/docs/commands-reference.md, docs/reference/cli.md
Documentation describes .fetch manifests, legacy .lnk compatibility, runtime .lnk exclusions, and updated command examples.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7eedf

The new .fetch pointer format preserves compatibility, but ESP32 builds can still mishandle pointers whose blob names differ only by filesystem-insensitive case, potentially overwriting one materialized asset with another. This correctness issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging; cache diagnostics and documentation also need follow-up.

Preserve each pointer’s relative identity during materialization.

materialize_lnk_entry derives the target from only file_name(). For example, a/logo.bin.fetch and b/logo.bin.lnk both materialize to the same logo.bin path under materialized_root. The second entry replaces the first, and the embed list then contains duplicate paths with the last blob’s contents.

Preserve the source-relative path or generate a collision-free staging path. Add a test with two directories containing the same basename.

All three review findings addressed in 9911287.

materialize_lnk_entry collision (Major) — confirmed and fixed. I wrote the test before the fix and it fails on the previous code: two pointers with the same blob name resolve silently, last one wins, and both embed entries end up holding the second blob's bytes. Firmware carries the wrong asset with nothing to indicate it.

Worth separating two cases, because they have different histories:

  • Cross-directory (a/logo.bin.fetch vs b/logo.bin.lnk, your example) — pre-existing. materialize_lnk_entry has always derived the target from file_name() alone, so two .lnk in different directories collided the same way before this PR.
  • Same-directory (logo.bin.fetch beside logo.bin.lnk) — new with this PR, and the more likely one: it is exactly what a half-finished migration looks like, and fbuild lnk add will produce it next to an existing .lnk without complaint.

I did not take the suggested staging-path/relative-identity redesign. expand_embed_entries feeds objcopy, whose input is a flat list of materialized paths; changing the target layout changes that contract for a case that is a user mistake either way. Refusing is the smaller change and the better outcome — a rename is a one-line fix, a silently wrong embedded asset is not diagnosable at all. The error names both entries and the path they collide on, and points at the stale-.lnk-beside-.fetch case specifically.

If you would still prefer collision-free staging paths, that is a reasonable follow-up, but it should be its own change with the objcopy contract in scope.

Cache error wording (Minor) — fixed. That branch takes both spellings now; the message said .lnk entries. Now blob-pointer (.fetch/.lnk) entries.

README (Minor) — fixed, details in the inline reply.

@coderabbitai review

All three findings from the previous review are addressed in 9911287:

  • Collision (Major) — confirmed real via a test that fails on the prior code; expand_embed_entries now refuses two pointers that materialize to the same path, naming both entries. I declined the staging-path redesign and explained why in the thread above.
  • Cache error wording (Minor) — now blob-pointer (.fetch/.lnk) entries.
  • README (Minor) — later examples and integration text migrated; .lnk now appears only where it is the subject.

The two red checks are unrelated to this diff and are fixed by #1388 (a real resume-flush bug in fbuild-packages-fetch, which is what the macOS streaming_download_resumes failure was pointing at) and #1389 (/bin/sh resolved through PATH in the emulator test harness). This PR will be rebased once those land.

@zackees The three previous findings are addressed in f4af6b0.

  • expand_embed_entries now rejects duplicate materialized targets.
  • The regression test covers the same-directory .fetch and legacy .lnk collision.
  • The cache error identifies both supported pointer extensions.
  • The README uses .fetch for current build-time examples.

I found one new minor issue. Line 41 in crates/fbuild-build-esp/src/esp32/orchestrator/embed_stage.rs, Line 120 in crates/fbuild-toolchain/src/lnk/embed.rs, and Line 66 in crates/fbuild-toolchain/src/lnk/scanner.rs contain large runs of literal spaces inside diagnostic strings. These spaces will appear in user-facing errors and warnings. Please wrap the Rust source without adding spaces to the string values.

`.lnk` served two roles with different consumers, formats and guarantees:
FastLED's runtime asset link (plain text, read on the MCU by
`fl::parse_lnk`, sha256 optional) and fbuild's build-time blob pointer
(JSON, read on the build host, sha256 mandatory because the resolver caches
by content). Sharing one extension read as one concept, so people normalized
toward whichever form they met first — converting a runtime link to fbuild's
JSON schema looked like tidying, and `fl::parse_lnk` then took `{` as the
URL (FastLED/FastLED#4012). A test caught that one; a sketch author gets a
silently wrong URL.

Per #1369 the roles get distinct extensions rather than
converged formats — converging on JSON means carrying a JSON parser on the
MCU for no user-visible benefit, and converging on text means giving up the
mandatory digest the content-addressed cache depends on.

`.lnk` keeps the runtime role. Build-time pointers are `.fetch`: it names
what the build does with the file, and `foo.bin.fetch` cannot be misread as
being the blob the way `foo.bin.blob` can.

Three places stripped `".lnk"` by hand and would each have refused a
`.fetch` *after* recognizing it — `strip_pointer_extension` is now the one
definition, next to `is_blob_pointer` (which replaces `has_lnk_extension`,
whose name would no longer be true). The e2e suite proves both halves: the
main pipeline run uses `.fetch`, and the sha-mismatch run deliberately keeps
`.lnk` so back-compat is demonstrated rather than asserted in a comment.

The scanner's malformed-file warning now distinguishes the two. A `.lnk`
that will not parse as JSON is far more likely a runtime asset link — not
fbuild's to resolve — than a corrupt pointer, so calling it "malformed" was
telling the user their correct file was broken. `.fetch` is unambiguously
ours and keeps the blunt wording.

Out of scope, per the issue's own open questions: the `fbuild lnk`
subcommand name, a deprecation window for `.lnk` reads, and whether
`assets.json` folds into this form.

Review follow-ups on #1369.

A materialized target is named after the pointer's blob, so two pointers
whose blob names match land on one path: the second overwrites the first and
both embed entries end up holding the second blob's bytes. Firmware then
carries the wrong asset with nothing to indicate it.

That is pre-existing for two `.lnk` in different directories, but `.fetch`
adds the case where `logo.bin.fetch` and `logo.bin.lnk` sit in the *same*
directory — which is exactly what a half-finished migration looks like, and
`fbuild lnk add` will happily produce it next to an existing `.lnk`. The
resolver now refuses, naming both entries and the path they collide on.
Confirmed by a test that fails on the previous code, where the collision
resolves silently.

Also: the "disk cache unavailable" error said `.lnk entries` on a branch that
now takes both spellings, and the README's later `embed_files` example and
integration notes still presented `.lnk` as the current format while the
introduction called it legacy.

@coderabbitai review

Re-requesting: the CHANGES_REQUESTED verdict is from 18:37, before the fixes landed, and this branch has since been rebased onto a main carrying #1388 and #1389. All 94 checks pass and the one review thread is resolved.

For the record, the three findings and what was done:

  1. Colliding blob pointers (Major) — fixed. expand_embed_entries refuses two pointers that materialize to the same path, naming both entries. The test fails on the pre-fix code, so this was confirmed rather than assumed. I declined the suggested staging-path redesign and gave the reasoning in the thread.
  2. Cache error wording (Minor) — fixed; the branch takes both extensions now, so the message says blob-pointer (.fetch/.lnk) entries.
  3. README migration (Minor) — fixed; the later examples and integration text use .fetch, and .lnk appears only where it is the subject.

The two checks that were red earlier were unrelated to this diff and are now fixed on main: the macOS failure was #1370's resume-flush bug (#1388), and the ubuntu one was a bare sh resolved through PATH in the emulator test harness (#1389).

@zackees I reviewed the current rebased revision.

The duplicate-target rejection, dual-extension handling, cache diagnostic update, and .fetch documentation migration are present. The tests cover the key .fetch and legacy .lnk paths.

One minor finding remains: crates/fbuild-build-esp/src/esp32/orchestrator/embed_stage.rs Line 41, crates/fbuild-toolchain/src/lnk/embed.rs Line 120, and crates/fbuild-toolchain/src/lnk/scanner.rs Line 66 still contain literal runs of spaces inside user-facing strings. Rust source wrapping must concatenate adjacent string literals without inserting spaces into the diagnostic text.

✅ Action performed

Use filesystem-aware keys for materialized targets.

materialize_lnk_entry strips the pointer extension and preserves the blob name. On Windows and default macOS filesystems, Logo.bin.fetch and logo.bin.lnk therefore target the same file. claimed uses lexical PathBuf equality, so the second materialization can replace the first and both entries can reach objcopy.

Use fbuild_core::fs::comparison_key for claimed, and add a Windows test for case-colliding blob names.

Remove the literal runs of spaces from the collision diagnostic.

Line 41 contains long gaps between words. The rendered PackageError is difficult to read. Keep one space between words.
