` form (existing), then the `@Bambu Lab ` form with case-insensitive reverse-lookup against the registry (so "A1 mini" vs "A1 Mini" capitalisation drift doesn't hide A1 Mini profiles, preserving the #1649 alias-aware match), then a body-text scan against every known model token (long-name fragments and short codes from the registry, long-first sort so "A1 Mini" / "X1 Carbon" / "H2D Pro" aren't eaten by their shorter siblings, word-boundary regex so "PA1" doesn't match "A1" and "X1Box" doesn't match "X1"). Presets where no strategy resolves still pass through — free-form names with no recognisable model token stay visible (can't filter what we can't classify). **Fail-open posture preserved:** `match` and `unknown` verdicts keep showing for local presets (back-compat for hand-edited imports without `compatible_printers`); the currently-configured preset (`slotInfo.savedPresetId`) bypasses the filter so the active selection always remains visible; built-in filaments stay unfiltered (generic fallback); when the registry hasn't loaded yet OR `printerModel` is empty, every filter no-ops. **No backend / schema / i18n changes.** Frontend ESLint clean; `npm run build` clean; vitest `ConfigureAmsSlotModal` 24/24 green.
- **Virtual Printer: empty AMS slots forwarded as phantom loaded filaments to BambuStudio Sync (#1726, reported with full code-level analysis by @needo37)** — On any VP bound to a target printer (Proxy mode, or Queue mode with a specific target), the slicer-facing AMS state was the printer's raw push_status — the empty-slot cleanup that `bambu_mqtt.py::_handle_ams_data` applies to Bambuddy's own internal state was NEVER run on the bridge cache. Concrete case: real printer has 3 filaments loaded (AMS-A slots 2/3/4), AMS-A slot 1 and all of AMS-B empty; Bambuddy's AMS card renders the empty slots correctly as Empty (control — internal state path is fine), but BambuStudio after Sync paints 7 populated/green-checked filament slots — the 3 real ones plus 4 phantoms whose color/material is stale RFID/calibration data from before those slots went empty. The diagnostic signature is the mismatch between the AMS card (correct) and the slicer view (wrong) for the same payload. Archive mode and Queue-by-model are NOT affected — no target printer → no bridge → the slicer gets the synthetic stub at `mqtt_server.py:927` with no real AMS data. **Root cause:** two code paths consume the same printer AMS payload. Internal (`bambu_mqtt.py::_handle_ams_data` lines 1802-1858) parses `tray_exist_bits`, promotes empty slots to `state=9`, and wipes the stale `tray_type`/`tray_color`/`tray_info_idx`/`tag_uid`/`tray_uuid`/`remain` fields. VP bridge (`mqtt_bridge.py::_on_printer_raw` lines 551-656) deep-merges AMS structurally via `_merge_ams_dict` and copies `tray_exist_bits` through as an opaque top-level scalar — but never applies the bit→clear-empty-slot logic. The cached state ships to the slicer untouched. **Fix:** factored the bit-clear logic out of `_handle_ams_data` into a shared module-level helper `bambu_mqtt.py::apply_tray_exist_bits(units, tray_exist_bits_str, *, power_on_flag, log_label)` and call it from both paths. The internal call site is replaced with a single helper invocation; the bridge calls it on the merged AMS dict after `_merge_ams_dict` runs, before the 1 Hz cached-as-base push picks the cache up. Shared shutdown guard preserved on both sides: all-zero bits + `power_on_flag=False` is the printer-off pattern (#765) and skips cleanup — a non-zero bits + power-off combo is valid idle-printer state (#1365 — X1C between prints) and still applies. AMS-HT units (`id >= 128`) skipped on both sides (separate addressing scheme). **Tests:** new `TestApplyTrayExistBitsHelper` class in `test_bambu_mqtt.py` (10 cases pinning the helper contract directly — missing/unparseable bits → no-op, shutdown guard, nonzero+power-off X1C case, int-9 state, AMS-HT skip, string id handling, multi-AMS global bit math, state-promote-even-without-stale-data). 3 new bridge regression tests in `test_vp_mqtt_bridge.py::TestPushStatusCache`: `test_tray_exist_bits_clears_empty_slots_in_slicer_cache` reproduces the #1726 wire shape (slot 0 carries stale `tray_type`/`tray_color`/`tray_info_idx`/`tag_uid`/`tray_uuid`/`remain` + `tray_exist_bits="e"` → slot 0 must clear, slots 1-3 preserved), `test_tray_exist_bits_shutdown_guard_preserves_cache` pins the printer-off path won't propagate phantom empties on every reconnect, `test_tray_exist_bits_skips_ams_ht_units` pins the HT addressing skip. Existing internal-state tests for the bit-clear logic (`test_tray_exist_bits_clears_empty_slots`, `test_tray_exist_bits_promotes_empty_slot_to_state_9`, `test_tray_exist_bits_does_not_change_state_on_loaded_slots`, …) continue to pass against the refactored internal path — same contract, same behavior, different implementation seam. One pre-existing bridge fixture (`test_partial_ams_unit_update_preserves_other_units`) had an inconsistent `tray_exist_bits="3"` for two AMS units (bit 0 set, bit 4 unset, but both unit 0 and unit 1 had slot 0 populated as loaded). The fix exposed the inconsistency — corrected to `"11"` (bits 0 + 4) to match what the real printer would send. Full backend suite 5955/5955 green; ruff clean; i18n parity 5107 leaves × 11 locales green (no new keys). Frontend untouched. **Verification on a live system (per @needo37's analysis):** set `BAMBUDDY_VP_DUMP_WIRE=1`, restart, Sync the slicer, inspect `/vp_wire/_out.json`. For any tray whose bit in `tray_exist_bits` is 0, `tray_type`/`tray_color` should now be empty.
- **Windows: `/api/local-backup/status` 500 on `ZoneInfoNotFoundError: 'No time zone found with key UTC'` (from a user's log on the Windows installer)** — Reported via a Windows traceback against the new local-backup status endpoint. The stdlib `zoneinfo` module reads the system IANA tz database on Linux/macOS, but Windows has none — and the embedded Python in our Windows installer doesn't carry the `tzdata` PyPI package either, so even `ZoneInfo("UTC")` raises `ZoneInfoNotFoundError`. `_local_zone()` in `services/local_backup.py` only caught that exception for the `TZ`-env branch; the empty-`TZ` fallback and the unrecognised-`TZ` fallback both unconditionally called `ZoneInfo("UTC")` and re-raised, bubbling out of the FastAPI handler as a 500. **Fix (two parts):** (1) `_local_zone()` is now resilient — return type widened from `ZoneInfo` to `tzinfo`, the `UTC` fallback is wrapped in its own try, and the last-resort fallback returns the stdlib `datetime.timezone.utc` (which needs no IANA DB and satisfies every `astimezone` / `str()` call site downstream — `str(timezone.utc) == "UTC"` matches the previous response shape). Restores function on existing Windows installs without re-bundling. (2) `requirements.txt` now pins `tzdata>=2024.1; sys_platform == "win32"` so the next Windows installer build ships the IANA DB and any non-UTC `TZ` value (e.g. `Europe/Berlin`) resolves correctly — the stdlib fallback can only ever give UTC. Linux/macOS unaffected: the platform marker keeps them on the system tz DB they already have. **Tests:** new `test_zoneinfo_completely_unavailable_falls_back_to_stdlib_utc` in `test_local_backup.py` monkeypatches `ZoneInfo` to always raise `ZoneInfoNotFoundError` and pins that `_local_zone()` returns `datetime.timezone.utc` rather than propagating. 31/31 local_backup tests green; ruff clean.
- **Print-modal "off" toggles for `flow_cali` and `nozzle_offset_cali` now actually suppress the calibration stage (live-tested on H2D 01.x)** — The Re-print / Schedule modal toggles for Flow Calibration and Nozzle Offset Calibration accepted the user's "off" choice and flowed it correctly through to the `project_file` MQTT publish — Bambuddy sent `extrude_cali_flag: 2` and `nozzle_offset_cali: 2` per our reading of "1 = run, 2 = skip" inherited from the #1478 / #1682 work. Live test on an H2D running firmware 01.x: with both toggles off in Bambuddy's modal, the printer's `stg` queue (the pre-print stage list firmware publishes via push_status) still included stage **8** ("Calibrating dynamic flow") and stage **39** ("Nozzle offset calibration") — and physically ran them at print start. The `2` value did NOT suppress the stage despite our earlier "skip and reuse stored PA" reading. **Root cause:** the encoding for the "off" wire value is `0`, not `2`. The `2` value appears to mean "skip the explicit calibration pass but still apply / verify the stored PA value via the calibration stage" — close to a no-op in terms of K-factor but the printer still queues the stage and runs the per-print physical sequence. `0` is what actually drops the stage from the `stg` queue. A real BambuStudio Send-dialog capture on the same firmware (proxy-mode VP echo) also showed `0` for both fields when calibrations are unchecked, contradicting the #1478 commit message which read `0` as "never sent by BambuStudio." **Fix:** `bambu_mqtt.py::start_print` — `extrude_cali_flag` is now `1 if flow_cali else 0` (was `2`), and `nozzle_offset_cali` is `1 if (nozzle_offset_cali and is_dual_nozzle) else 0` (was `2`). The dual-nozzle gate stays — single-nozzle prints continue to force-skip the nozzle-offset calibration their head doesn't support (#1682). `1` (run) is unchanged on both fields. **Verification:** live re-test on the same H2D with both toggles still off — `stg: [29, 13, 4, 14, 3]` (cooling, homing, filament change, nozzle cleaning, vibration comp). Stages 8 and 39 dropped out cleanly. **What's NOT fixed:** `vibration_cali` is a JSON `false` bool in both Bambuddy's and BambuStudio's wire format, and the H2D firmware queues stage **3** ("Vibration compensation") regardless of the bool value — this is firmware-side and not solvable at our dispatch layer with the current field. Captured as a follow-up to investigate whether a parallel `vibration_cali_flag` integer field exists. **Tests:** `test_bambu_mqtt.py` — `test_p2s_uses_boolean_format` flipped `extrude_cali_flag == 2` → `== 0`; `test_nozzle_offset_cali_default_is_skip`, `test_nozzle_offset_cali_ignored_on_single_nozzle`, `test_nozzle_offset_cali_false_on_dual_nozzle` flipped `== 2` → `== 0`; docstrings updated to reflect the #1721 finding. The `1 if user_wants` branch in both tests for the "on" case is unchanged. 281/281 bambu_mqtt tests green; full backend suite 5941/5941 green with `-n 30`; ruff clean; frontend untouched (rebuild + i18n parity confirmed clean per `feedback_run_all_ci_checks`).
- **Support-bundle log noise: VP bridge nudge + SD-card cleanup (#1721 adjacent, observed on reporter's A1)** — Two warnings polluting every A1 support bundle on a healthy print. Neither was the cause of #1721's timelapse complaint — both are adjacent noise. **(1) `request_status_update: not connected`** — `mqtt_bridge.py::_resolve_client` calls `_request_version` + `request_status_update` immediately after attaching a raw-message handler so the bridge cache populates without waiting for the next periodic pushall. The bind frequently races the real printer's MQTT TLS handshake — a slicer-side reconnect re-resolves the client before the underlying session has reconnected, especially on A1 firmware which reconnects more aggressively than X1/H2/P. `request_status_update` logs `[serial] request_status_update: not connected` at WARNING on the not-connected return path. The nudge is a best-effort optimisation; the fall-through (next periodic pushall) populates the cache anyway, so the WARNING fires on routine, expected, recoverable state. **Fix:** gate both nudges on `current.state.connected` at the bind site. When the client comes up, the next `_resolve_client` tick re-enters this branch on identity change OR the periodic pushall in `bambu_mqtt.py` fills the cache — same end state, no benign WARNING. The WARNING in `bambu_mqtt.py:3224` is unchanged: it's still a real signal for the other callers (`/printers/{id}/refresh-status` user API, bug-reporter helper) where "you asked for a refresh on a dead client" is genuinely worth logging. New `test_post_bind_nudge_skipped_when_target_not_connected` in `test_vp_mqtt_bridge.py::TestBridgeLifecycle` pins the contract. **(2) `SD card cleanup failed after 3 attempts ... (file may linger on SD card)`** — The post-finish helper in `main.py` deletes the uploaded file from the printer's SD card to prevent the ghost-print-on-power-cycle behaviour (#374, #1542). It tries up to three candidate paths (`derive_remote_filename(archive.filename)`, then `{subtask_name}.3mf`, then `{subtask_name}.gcode`), each up to 3 times with 2 s backoff, then logs WARNING if all fail. `delete_file_async` returned `bool` — `True` for success, `False` for ANYTHING else (FTP 550 file-not-found, network error, auth fail, transient FTP error). The A1 firmware (and most other Bambu firmwares post-print) cleans the SD-card upload itself before our cleanup runs, every candidate FTP-DELE returns 550, all three retries × three candidates × 2 s sleeps fire, then WARNING. That WARNING shouldn't exist on a healthy print where the printer self-cleaned. The same shape exists in `_cleanup_forced_timelapse` (#1397) walking the four timelapse dirs. **Fix:** `bambu_ftp.py` now exports a `DeleteResult` enum (`DELETED` / `NOT_FOUND` / `FAILED`). `BambuFTPClient.delete_file` detects the 550 case via `isinstance(e, ftplib.error_perm) and str(e).startswith("550")` (same pattern already used in the download path for the symmetric `FileNotOnPrinterError` sentinel from #972). `delete_file_async` now returns `DeleteResult`. Both post-finish cleanup helpers (`main.py::on_print_finished` SD branch + `_cleanup_forced_timelapse`) only WARN when at least one candidate returned `FAILED`; an all-`NOT_FOUND` outcome logs DEBUG ("nothing to delete — printer likely self-cleaned"). The cleanup helper also no longer burns the 2 s × 3 retry budget on a `NOT_FOUND` result (550 will never recover by waiting); only `FAILED` triggers backoff. `DELETE /printers/{id}/files/...` returns 404 (not 500) on `NOT_FOUND`, more accurate for the user-facing UI. Three other production callers (`print_scheduler` pre-upload delete, two `background_dispatch` fire-and-forget cleanups) are unchanged at the call site — they discard the return value. **Tests:** `test_delete_file` and `test_delete_file_async` in `test_bambu_ftp.py` switched to the enum (3 cases each). 2 new regression tests in `test_cleanup_forced_timelapse.py`: `test_forced_no_warning_when_every_dir_returns_not_found` pins the #1721 path (every candidate dir → 550 → no WARNING, one DEBUG summary), `test_forced_warns_when_any_dir_returns_failed` pins the counterpart (any FAILED keeps the WARNING — that's the signal the maintainer wants). `caplog` asserts the log record's level + content directly. Full backend suite 5941/5941 green; ruff clean; frontend untouched (rebuild + i18n parity confirmed clean per `feedback_run_all_ci_checks`). No migration, no new i18n keys, no schema changes.
- **Virtual printer external spool (`vt_tray`) went "invalid" right after a slicer filament pick (#1622 round 5, reported by @shaddowlink)** — On a P1S in non-proxy VP mode, the reporter picked a filament for the external spool slot in BambuStudio's Device tab and the slot immediately rendered as invalid (color only, no profile, no K-profile, no nozzle temps), but recovered after a virtual-printer reload. AMS slot picks worked correctly. Wire dumps (BAMBUDDY_VP_DUMP_WIRE=1) captured the asymmetry: the bridge's outgoing 1 Hz cached-as-base push delivered `vt_tray = {tray_info_idx, tray_color}` — 2 fields — where a real P1S sends ~20 (`tray_type`, `state`, `remain`, `k`, `n`, `cali_idx`, `nozzle_temp_min/max`, `tray_uuid`, `xcam_info`, ...). The same `_out.json` showed AMS slots with the full 24-field dict because `_merge_ams_dict` deep-merged them. **Root cause:** Bambu firmware sends a partial `vt_tray` incremental right after acknowledging an `ams_filament_setting` for `ams_id=255` (external spool) — carrying just the fields the slicer's pick changed. The round-4 per-field accumulate (#1622 / da799447) carried over prev keys NOT present in new, but `vt_tray` IS present in new, so the cached dict was REPLACED wholesale with the 2-field partial. The next 1 Hz cached-as-base push handed the slicer the stripped vt_tray; BambuStudio rendered the slot as invalid. Reloading the VP forced a reconnect → pushall → full vt_tray restored, and the cycle repeated on the next pick. **Fix:** `mqtt_bridge.py::_on_printer_raw` now applies the same per-field accumulate one level deeper: for every top-level key whose prev AND new are both dicts, overlay new onto prev rather than replace. `ams` is explicitly excluded (already deep-merged by `_merge_ams_dict`). The same overlay protects `device`, `online`, `upgrade_state`, `ipcam`, `upload`, `net` against future firmware partials with the same shape; the `net.info` IP rewrite path is unaffected because `_rewrite_net_info_ips` runs against `new_state["net"]` before caching and the rewritten list overrides the cached one on overlay (only `net.conf` and friends, when sent without `info`, draw from prev now). **Tests:** new `test_partial_vt_tray_update_overlays_onto_cached_full_dict` regression case in `test_vp_mqtt_bridge.py::TestPushStatusCache` constructs the exact P1S wire shape — pushall with the full ~20-field vt_tray, followed by the `{tray_info_idx, tray_color}` partial that shaddowlink's dump captured — and asserts `tray_type`, `state`, `remain`, `k`, `n`, `cali_idx`, `nozzle_temp_min/max`, `tray_uuid`, `id` all survive while the two incoming fields take their new values. All 53 bridge tests stay green; 287/287 across the broader VP test surface (mqtt_bridge / mqtt_server / vp_wire / virtual_printer); ruff clean. Bridge code path only; no migration, no new i18n keys, no frontend touch.
- **Library G-code preview returned raw ZIP bytes as `text/plain` for sidecar-sliced rows (#1709, root cause + fix from @yanglei1980)** — `slice_and_persist` writes its output as a `.gcode.3mf` (a ZIP container with embedded G-code) but persisted the LibraryFile row with `file_type="gcode"`. The G-code preview endpoint at `library.py::get_gcode` short-circuits on `file_type == "gcode"` and streams the on-disk bytes with `media_type="text/plain"`, so every preview of a sidecar-sliced row handed the embedded viewer the raw ZIP body (`PK\x03\x04…`) instead of toolpath text — the viewer rendered nothing. External-folder scans (#1600) already typed `.gcode.3mf` rows correctly and hit the unzip branch, so the bug was specific to the sidecar slice path. Plain `.gcode` uploads were unaffected (their on-disk bytes really are text). **Fix:** (1) forward — `slice_and_persist` now persists `file_type="gcode.3mf"`, matching what `_classify_file_type` returns for the `.gcode.3mf` extension and what external-scan rows already use; (2) back-compat — `get_gcode` also routes to the unzip branch when the filename ends with `.gcode.3mf`, so rows already written under the bug self-heal on first preview without a DB migration. **UI gates:** three frontend call sites that gated badge colour or the preview-eye icon on `file_type == "gcode"` were extended to also accept `"gcode.3mf"` — `FileManagerPage.tsx` badge + viewer-affordance gate, `ProjectDetailPage.tsx` badge — so the new typing doesn't regress visuals. The print / queue / slice action buttons use filename-based helpers (`isSlicedFilename`, `isSliceableFilename`) that already accept `.gcode.3mf`, so they need no change. **Tests:** new `test_library_get_gcode_recovers_legacy_gcode_type_for_3mf` regression case in `test_library_api.py` constructs a row with `file_type="gcode"` + `.gcode.3mf` filename pointing at a real ZIP, asserts the response is `text/plain`, contains `G28`, and does NOT start with `PK` — pins the legacy-row recovery path. Existing `test_library_get_gcode_endpoint_accepts_compound_file_type` continues to cover the forward path. Full backend suite 5920/5920 green; ruff clean; frontend ESLint + `npm run build` clean; FileManagerPage / ProjectDetailPage / FileManagerExternalFolder vitests 69/69 green; i18n parity unchanged (no new keys).

- **Cloud + Orca Cloud preset resolver: pin `type` and `from` to CLI-accepted values (#1712 follow-up, reported by maziggy on the Mecha Mewtwo slice)** — Removing bundle mode (entry above) routed every slot through the cross-tier preset resolver. Cloud-tier presets surfaced two latent shape mismatches that bundle dispatch had been masking by materialising preset JSONs from `.bbscfg`-on-disk. (1) **`type` field**: Bambu Cloud labels presets with `type: "printer"` / `"print"` / `"filament"`, but the BambuStudio CLI's `--load-settings` parser only accepts `"machine"` / `"process"` / `"filament"`. The user's first failing slice produced `operator(): unknown config type print of file preset.json in load-settings` with exit code -5; the sidecar surfaces this as a generic "The input preset file is invalid and can not be parsed." (2) **`from` field**: Bambu Cloud's filament detail endpoint routinely ships presets with empty `from` (or no `from` at all). The CLI's compatibility check rejects either with `operator(): file ... 's from unsupported` (the double space in stderr = empty value). Same -5 exit, same generic "input preset invalid" surface. The sidecar's `normalizeFromField` already maps `"User"` / `"System"` → `"system"`, but it doesn't touch empty / missing values. **Fix:** `_resolve_cloud` and `_resolve_orca_cloud` now force `type = _SLOT_TO_PROFILE_TYPE[slot]` and `from = "system"` on the payload before `json.dumps`, mirroring what `_resolve_standard` already does for the standard-tier stub. Both fields are unconditionally rewritten — idempotent on already-correct payloads, and pinning to "system" is consistent with how Bambuddy presents these post-flatten presets to the CLI (no parent walk needed, the cloud detail comes back fully expanded). **Tests:** new `test_cloud_rewrites_type_field_for_cli` (7 parametric cases covering all six type-name variants Bambu Cloud emits plus the missing-type case), `test_cloud_pins_from_field_to_system` (4 cases: empty, already-system, GUI User, GUI System), and `test_cloud_synthesises_from_field_when_missing` (the actual Mecha Mewtwo failure shape) pin the resolver-level contract. Existing happy-path assertions for `_resolve_cloud` / `_resolve_orca_cloud` updated to include the new fields. 28/28 preset-resolver tests green, full backend suite 5919/5919 green, ruff clean. **What this can NOT recover:** if Bambu Cloud later starts emitting a `from` value other than empty / "User" / "System" that genuinely means something (e.g. "project"), Bambuddy will silently flatten it to "system" too. We accept that trade-off because the alternative is leaving "input preset invalid" failures on every cloud slice, and "system" matches how the sidecar's own resolver normalises the post-flatten state.
- **Virtual printer cache drained capability/lifecycle fields between pushalls, greying out Device-tab UIs (#1622 round 4, reported by @shaddowlink)** — Reporter on a P1S in archive mode saw the AMS-slot filament dropdown empty and the "Manage calibration data" UI disabled in BambuStudio's Device tab, while the same panels worked correctly on his H2D. After three rounds of triage on the printer-side payload (which traced clean — bridge passes `vt_tray` byte-identical, `tray_info_idx` resolves, AMS slots populate), the actual asymmetry surfaced in the bridge cache dumps: P1S cached `print` state contained 17 top-level keys; H2D contained 99. The missing fields were exactly the capability/lifecycle gates BambuStudio reads to decide which Device-tab UIs to enable (`cali_version`, `print_type`, `gcode_state`, `mc_print_stage`, `mc_stage`, `device`, `cfg`, `home_flag`, the `mc_*` family, fan speeds — ~80 fields). **Root cause:** Bambu firmware sends a full top-level field set in pushall responses (on `pushall` request / printer reconnect) and ~1 Hz incrementals carrying just what changed (typically temps, fan, wifi, status). `_on_printer_raw` in `mqtt_bridge.py` cached the latest push as `new_state = copy.deepcopy(print_data)` — replacing the prior cache wholesale — then re-merged only a hand-picked allowlist (`_SLICER_VISIBLE_STICKY_KEYS`) of 14 keys back from prev. The allowlist covered the #1371 / #1387 / #1228 / #1558 failure modes but missed capability/lifecycle fields entirely, so every 1 Hz incremental drained ~80 fields out of the cache and the slicer's gated UIs flipped off as soon as the cache thinned. The code comment claimed the cache "mirrors the same preservation pattern Bambuddy uses for its own internal state in bambu_mqtt.py" but it didn't: internal state is updated per-field (`if "X" in data: self.state.X = ...`), never drops what it's seen, and accumulates monotonically. **Fix:** replace the allowlist-preserve with per-field accumulate. For every key in the prior cache, carry over verbatim when the incoming push omits it; let new values overwrite when present. The `_merge_ams_dict` deep-merge for partial `ams` blobs stays (#1387 / #1371 regression guards still pass). `_SLICER_VISIBLE_STICKY_KEYS` is removed entirely — the new logic is a strict superset of every case the allowlist handled. **Why most P1S users don't hit it:** timing. The typical workflow is connect → BS issues pushall → cache fills → click Device tab within seconds → UI works. shaddowlink's sequence kept BS idle long enough between pushalls that the cache thinned to incremental-only state before he clicked. X1C users hit the same drain but don't notice — older BS capability spec doesn't gate the same UIs on `cali_version` / `mc_print_stage`. H2D escaped detection because his captures happened to land close to a pushall reply (cache still fat). **Tests:** new `test_incremental_push_preserves_non_allowlisted_capability_fields` regression case in `test_vp_mqtt_bridge.py::TestPushStatusCache` constructs a full push with `cali_version` / `print_type` / `gcode_state` / `mc_print_stage` / `mc_stage` / `device` / `cfg` / `home_flag`, follows it with a temps-only incremental, and asserts every capability field survives. All 51 existing bridge cache tests stay green — same behaviour for the allowlist subset, plus the formerly-dropped fields. Bridge code path; no migration, no new i18n keys.
- **Force-color-match checkbox missing when scheduling against a specific printer (#1717, reported by @SamNuttall)** — The Print Queue's schedule dialog hides the per-slot "Force color match" checkbox in the "Specific printer" path. Picking "Any A1" (model-mode dispatch) renders `FilamentOverride` which carries the checkbox, but picking a single printer renders `FilamentMapping` instead — a separate component that had no force-match UI. The dispatcher in `print_scheduler.py:535` already honours `force_color_match` regardless of how the queue item was created (the flag survives end-to-end on the `filament_overrides` payload `buildFilamentOverridesArray` constructs in `PrintModal/index.tsx:613`), so this was a pure UI gap — printer-mode users could not request the safety guard from the modal even though the backend would have respected it. **Fix:** `FilamentMapping` accepts new optional `forceColorMatch` + `onForceColorMatchChange` props mirroring `FilamentOverride`'s shape; it renders the same ``-iconed checkbox under each filament row when a handler is provided. `PrintModal/index.tsx:1100` passes the existing `forceColorMatch` state and a `setForceColorMatch` setter through — same state object both modes write into, so toggling between modes preserves what the user selected. No new i18n keys (the existing `printModal.forceColorMatch` key already ships in all 11 locales). The checkbox is suppressed when no handler is wired (avoids dead UI in callers that don't manage the flag). **Tests:** new `renders the per-slot force-color-match checkbox in printer mode (#1717)` case clicks the checkbox and asserts `onForceColorMatchChange(slotId, true)` fires; companion `omits the force-color-match checkbox when no handler is provided` case pins the absent-handler branch. Existing FTS dropdown-filter tests stay green. `FilamentMapping.test.tsx` 4/4 green; combined PrintModal + FilamentOverride + FilamentMapping suite 73/73 green; eslint clean; frontend build clean; i18n parity 5120 leaves × 11 locales green.
- **In-app updater fails when DATA_DIR is on a separate mount from the install (#1715, reported by @francescocozzi)** — Native installs that follow the systemd template `WorkingDirectory=/opt/bambuddy` with `Environment="DATA_DIR=/srv/bambuddy/data"` (or any layout where `DATA_DIR` is not a subdirectory of the install path) couldn't apply in-app updates. Every git step in `_perform_update` (`remote get-url`, `remote set-url`, `fetch`, `reset --hard`) used `cwd=settings.base_dir`, and `safe.directory` was pointed at `base_dir` too. On the standard install (DATA_DIR=INSTALL_PATH/data) this happened to work by accident — git walks up from a subdirectory of the repo to find `.git` — but on a separate-mount layout the data dir is not under the install, the walk-up has nowhere to go, and every operation returns "fatal: not a git repository." Even on the standard install `safe.directory={base_dir}` was wrong (it must equal the repo root git discovers, not the data dir), surfacing on hardened systemd units as "fatal: detected dubious ownership." **Fix:** route every git subprocess in `_perform_update` and `_origin_points_at_repo` through `cwd=settings.app_dir` (the working tree), and set `safe.directory={app_dir}` to match. `app_dir` is now resolved once at the top of `_perform_update` instead of lazily re-resolved before the pip step. The `base_dir` parameter on `_origin_points_at_repo` is renamed to `app_dir` so the signature documents the contract. The pip-install step keeps `cwd=app_dir` (unchanged — that step was already correct). **Tests:** new `test_perform_update_runs_git_in_app_dir_when_data_dir_on_separate_mount` integration case constructs a sibling-paths layout (`tmp/opt/bambuddy` + `tmp/srv/bambuddy/data` — the exact #1715 shape), mocks `asyncio.create_subprocess_exec` to capture every call's cwd, and pins (a) every git subprocess runs with `cwd=app_dir`, (b) the embedded `safe.directory=` config equals `app_dir` on every git call. The existing pip-cwd test stays green (pip's cwd was already `app_dir`). Existing SSH-origin-preserve + origin-rewrite + reset-target tests stay green (they don't assert on git cwd). Full `test_updates_api.py` 21/21 green; ruff clean. **Credit:** root cause + fix shape from francescocozzi via PR #1716 (couldn't be merged as-is — that branch had drifted off an older `dev` and pulled in unrelated upstream commits including a version regression).
- **SliceModal preset-lookup precedence + cross-tier dedup + signed-out banner (#1712, reported by @IndividualGhost1905)** — After the Orca Cloud integration shipped (2026-06-04), every user — including Bambu-Cloud-only / Bambu-Studio-preferred users — got Orca Cloud as the top tier across the SliceModal preset picker, the per-preset auto-pick scoring, the dropdown's optgroup rendering, the AMS slot picker's filament sort, and the backend dedup precedence. A Bambu-Cloud / X1C user reported seeing his Bambu Cloud profiles disappear from auto-pick because Orca Cloud's empty tier shadowed them. The cross-tier dedup (introduced with #1150 and inherited as-is by the Orca change) compounded the problem: a name that existed in multiple tiers showed in only ONE group, so a user with a local-imported and Orca-synced "Bambu PLA Basic" never saw the Orca copy as a picker option — even though they curate both sources. And the cloud-status banner (`CloudStatusBanner`) nagged signed-out users with a permanent *"Sign in to Orca Cloud (Profiles → Orca Cloud) to see your Orca presets"* at the top of every SliceModal open — even after a user had explicitly logged out of Orca Cloud. The Bambu Cloud banner had the symmetric problem. **Fix — order:** precedence is `local > orca_cloud > cloud > standard` across `SliceModal.tsx` (`SLICE_MODAL_TIER_ORDER` + `TIER_BONUS` + dropdown tier list), `ConfigureAmsSlotModal.tsx` (`sourceOrder`), and docstrings in `slicer_presets.py` / `schemas/slicer_presets.py` / `client.ts`. Local imports win (the user did them on purpose), Orca Cloud comes next, Bambu Cloud, bundled fallback last. The order drives auto-pick + visual group order; it does NOT hide profiles. **Fix — no dedup, full lists:** `_dedupe_by_name` is replaced by `_enrich_cloud_metadata`, which returns every tier's full preset list across all three slots (printer / process / filament) — a name in local AND orca_cloud AND cloud renders in EACH of their groups so the user can pick any source. The only work the function still does is filament-metadata backfill: a Bambu Cloud filament without its own `filament_type` / `filament_colour` inherits values from a same-named local / orca_cloud / standard entry so it can still score in `pickFilamentForSlot`. Printer + process presets carry their metadata inline and need no enrich. Frontend code already iterates tiers in priority order and surfaces every entry — no change needed there once the backend stops filtering. **Fix — banner:** `CloudStatusBanner` now silently returns null on `not_authenticated` in addition to `ok` — applies symmetrically to both Bambu and Orca cloud banners. `expired` (token broke) and `unreachable` (network / service down) still surface — those are real breakage states a previously-signed-in user needs to see. Sign-in lives on the Profiles page; the modal doesn't need to advertise it. The `slice.cloud.notAuthenticated` / `slice.orcaCloud.notAuthenticated` i18n keys stay in the locale files (dormant) so re-enabling later doesn't need a re-translation pass. **Fix — ConfigureAmsSlotModal source badges:** before this change, the per-row source badge fired three branches independently — `local` got a green "Local" badge, `builtin` got an amber "Built-in" badge, and a blue "Custom" badge appeared on top of those when `isUser` was true. Since ALL Orca Cloud entries are marked `isUser: true` and Bambu Cloud user presets also get the same flag, the result was visually inconsistent: Orca Cloud rows showed *only* "Custom" (no source identification, no way to tell them from Bambu Cloud user presets), Bambu Cloud built-in rows had NO badge at all, and the "Custom" badge collided with the actual source. Replaced with a single source badge per row: green "Local", purple "Orca Cloud" (new), bambu-blue "Bambu Cloud" (new), amber "Built-in". One badge per row; one colour per source; the `isUser` distinction within the Bambu Cloud tier is dropped (the preset name itself carries the "is this user-authored" signal). Same change in both render blocks (the filament-list code is duplicated in the modal — kept the duplication local rather than refactoring out a helper component in this PR to keep the diff tight). i18n: 2 new keys (`configureAmsSlot.orcaCloud`, `configureAmsSlot.bambuCloud`) translated to all 11 locales — both are brand names, already on the per-locale `IDENTICAL_TO_EN_ALLOWED` lists so the parity check is satisfied without per-locale variants. The dormant `configureAmsSlot.custom` key stays in the locale files. **Tests:** `TestEnrichCloudMetadata` replaces `TestDedupeByName` (5 cases): regression guard pinning that a name in all four tiers appears in EACH (not just local), tier order preserved within a tier, Bambu Cloud filament metadata backfilled from local, backfill falls through to orca / standard when local doesn't carry the name, backfill does NOT overwrite Bambu Cloud's own metadata when present. The "renders a sign-in banner when cloud_status is not_authenticated" case flipped to assert no banner appears, with the test name updated to call out the #1712 reason. Backend `test_slicer_presets.py` 47/47 green; `SliceModal.test.tsx` 34/34 green; `ConfigureAmsSlotModal.test.tsx` 24/24 green; ruff clean; frontend build clean; i18n parity 5120 leaves × 11 locales green.
- **Telegram (and other image-bearing) finish notification on a reprint-from-archive showed the original print's finish photo instead of the new run's (#1707, reported by @kycrna)** — P2S user reprinted an archived job and observed the Telegram notification arriving with the photo of the *original* print (white box) attached to the completion message for the *new* run (black box). **Root cause:** reprints reuse the source archive row — `register_expected_print` stores the source `archive_id` in `_expected_prints`, and the on-print-start expected-archive promotion branch at `main.py:2207-2245` updates the row's status / started_at / printer_id / subtask_id but never reset `archive.timelapse_path`. Two failure modes cascaded from the stale path: (a) `_scan_for_timelapse_with_retries` early-returns at `main.py:3062` with `if archive.timelapse_path: return` — the reprint's new timelapse MP4 sitting on the printer's SD card was never downloaded, the archive's `timelapse_path` kept pointing at the original run's local file; (b) `_capture_finish_photo_from_timelapse` polls `archive.timelapse_path` and immediately found the *original* video, extracted ITS last frame as `finish__.jpg`, and handed those bytes to `_background_notifications` as `image_data` — which then went out to Telegram via the `sendPhoto` path. The filename was new (so log lines and the archive's `photos` list looked correct), but the pixels were the original run's finish frame. Surface was specific to the timelapse-prefer path: with `data.timelapse_was_active` true and no external camera, `prefer_timelapse_source` was True, which is the exact configuration on P2S with timelapse-on for both runs. External-camera, buffered-frame, and fresh-RTSP fallback paths grab the *current* camera frame, so users on those paths saw correct photos and the bug stayed hidden. **Fix:** at expected-archive promotion, capture and clear `archive.timelapse_path` to None before the commit, and `os.unlink` the stale on-disk video so reprints don't accumulate orphaned MP4s in the archive directory. Photos list is left alone — accumulating one finish photo per run across the archive's lifetime is the right behaviour. The unlink is wrapped in `OSError`-catching best-effort logging so a missing file (manual delete, archive purge, container rebuild with bind-mount drift) doesn't break promotion. The clear-and-unlink runs unconditionally when `timelapse_path` is set, so even if a user has been reprinting under the buggy build for months, the next reprint self-heals. **Tests:** 3 new cases in `test_reprint_clears_stale_timelapse.py` exercise the full `on_print_start` callback through the expected-archive branch — happy path (path cleared + file unlinked), no-prior-timelapse (no-op, promotion still succeeds), missing-stale-file (best-effort unlink doesn't raise). Full `test_print_start_expected_promotion.py` + `test_print_start_assigns_printer_id_to_vp_archive.py` suite (28/28) stays green; ruff clean.
- **Connection diagnostic no longer flags `external_storage: fail` on A1 / A1 Mini, which physically have no MicroSD slot (#1703, reported by @MartinNYHC)** — Bug report from an A1 user complained that BambuStudio and OrcaSlicer don't have an "external storage" tick box (correct — there's nothing to toggle, the A1 series ships without a SD card slot at all) while the Bambuddy support bundle simultaneously reported `external_storage: fail` in the printer's connection diagnostic. The two together left the user thinking Bambuddy was wrong about a setting their hardware doesn't have. **Root cause:** the `external_storage` check at `services/printer_diagnostic.py:179-189` reads `state.store_to_sdcard`, which is parsed from MQTT `home_flag` bit 11. On A1 and A1 Mini that bit is never set (no hardware slot, no firmware-side toggle, no slicer-side equivalent), so the value pushes as `False` and the check fell through to `fail` instead of `skip`. **Fix:** new `NO_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_MODELS` frozenset in `utils/printer_models.py` enumerating A1, A1 Mini, and their internal codes (N1, N2S, A04, A11, A12), plus a `has_external_storage(model)` helper that returns False for those and True for everything else (unknown models default to True so the check stays active for any future Bambu model that ships *with* a slot — new no-slot models must be added to the set explicitly). The diagnostic now short-circuits to `skip` before reading `store_to_sdcard` when `printer.model` is in the set. **What this does NOT change:** X1 / X1E / P1S / P1P / P2S / H2D / H2D Pro / H2C / H2S / X2D continue to evaluate `store_to_sdcard` exactly as before — the home-flag-bit-off → `fail` path is still the right signal for them. **The companion FTP-upload-timeout symptom in the same bug report (ftp code 28 from BambuStudio when sending to the proxy VP) is a separate Docker-bridge-mode networking constraint, not addressed by this change.** **Tests:** 8 new cases — `TestHasExternalStorage` (5 cases) pins the model list, internal-code aliasing, case/whitespace normalisation, unknown-defaults-true, and null/empty-defaults-true; `TestExternalStorageCheck` gains `test_skips_on_a1_no_external_storage_slot`, `test_skips_on_a1_mini_no_external_storage_slot`, and `test_still_fails_on_x1c_when_toggle_off` (regression guard that the model-aware skip doesn't accidentally silence the genuine signal on slotted models). Full `test_printer_models.py` + `test_printer_diagnostic.py` + archives integration suite green (172/172); ruff clean.
- **AMS slot card surfaced the previous spool's preset name after RFID auto-assigned a new spool (reported with H2D-1 / AMS-B3 / PLA-CF showing as "Bambu PLA Silk+")** — Reporter inserted a fresh Bambu PLA-CF spool into AMS-B3, RFID identified it correctly, but the slot card kept showing "Bambu PLA Silk+" (the name from a PLA Silk+ spool that had occupied the slot back in March). Confirmed in the live data: `slot_preset_mappings` row for `(printer_id=1, ams_id=1, tray_id=2)` was `preset_id=GFSA06_09, preset_name='Bambu PLA Silk+', updated_at=2026-03-15` — three months stale. **Root cause:** `slot_preset_mappings.preset_name` is first in the PrintersPage display chain (`PrintersPage.tsx:3624`) and overrides the spool's own `slicer_filament_name` plus the cloud catalog `cloudInfo.name`. The internal-mode manual-assign path (`inventory.apply_spool_to_slot_via_mqtt`) kept this row in sync, but the internal-mode RFID auto-assign path (`spool_tag_matcher.auto_assign_spool`) skipped it entirely. The Spoolman-mode sync path (`main.auto_sync_spoolman_ams_trays`) also skipped it — same bug shape, latent for Spoolman users who'd never manually configured a slot preset, active for those who had. **Fix — three writers in lockstep via one shared helper.** New `backend/app/services/slot_preset_writer.py` exposes a primitive `upsert_slot_preset` plus two convenience wrappers: `upsert_slot_preset_for_spool` for internal `Spool` ORM objects (local-preset numeric ids → `local_{n}`, cloud ids run through `filament_id_to_setting_id`) and `upsert_slot_preset_for_spoolman_spool` for Spoolman dicts (filament.name → preset_name, tray_info_idx → preset_id). All three call sites — the manual-assign block in `inventory.py:396-438`, the RFID auto-assign tail in `spool_tag_matcher.py:auto_assign_spool`, and the per-tray-sync branch in `main.py:auto_sync_spoolman_ams_trays` — now go through the helper. **Self-heal:** existing stale rows from past spool swaps get rewritten the next time a fresh spool is detected on the same slot. No migration script needed. **What this also covers per `feedback_inventory_modes_parity`:** the bug shape exists in both internal and Spoolman modes, so the patch ships fixes for both inventory paths in the same drop — a Spoolman user with a manually-configured slot preset would have seen the same stale-name behavior after every RFID swap until the row was overwritten through Configure Slot. **Tests:** new `test_slot_preset_writer.py` (6 cases) pins the helper contracts — no-op on empty preset_id, upsert idempotency, Spoolman filament.name → preset_name, fallback to material → tray_sub_brands → tray_type, stale-row overwrite from the Spoolman path, skip when tray_info_idx is unknown. New `test_spool_tag_matcher.py` cases (3) pin the internal RFID-auto-assign path — stale-row overwrite (the exact reporter shape: PLA Silk+ → PLA-CF), fresh insert when no row exists, `local_{n}` formatting for numeric local-preset ids. Total touched-area suite 69/69 green; broader related suite (inventory + spoolman + spool_tag + auto_sync) 767/767 green; ruff clean.
- **Stats page Failure Analysis widget rendered raw camelCase keys instead of translated reasons (#1687 follow-up, reported by @IndividualGhost1905)** — After #1687 part 4 shipped the per-row Print Log editor, the reporter classified a couple of failed runs and saw "filamentRunout" / "cloggedNozzle" (the literal camelCase keys) appear under Statistics → Failure Analysis → Top Failure Reasons, while the same rows rendered correctly as "Filament runout" / "Clogged nozzle" on the Print Log table. Surfaced an inconsistency I introduced when shipping the new editor: the new Print Log row editor saves the camelCase key (`filamentRunout`) which is what the new backend PATCH validates against, but the older `EditArchiveModal` was still saving the localised label (`"Filament runout"`) as the value — two formats landing in the same `PrintLogEntry.failure_reason` column from two different UI surfaces. The Failure Analysis widget at `frontend/src/pages/StatsPage.tsx:817` and the per-archive run history sub-table at `frontend/src/components/PrintLogTable.tsx:81` both rendered the raw column value without running it through i18n, so the new key-form values surfaced as literal keys. **Fix — three sites in one drop:** (1) `StatsPage.tsx` and (2) `PrintLogTable.tsx` now wrap the value in `t('editArchive.failureReasons.${reason}', { defaultValue: reason })` — same pattern already used at `ArchivesPage.tsx:3874` for the Print Log table. The `defaultValue` fallback keeps legacy translated-text rows rendering as-is, no regression. (3) `EditArchiveModal.tsx` now saves the camelCase key (`
