Walkthrough

ESPLoader changes serial read, write, disconnect, reconnect, and flash-read handling. Console-port setup and cleanup are updated. Generated firmware modules are replaced for multiple ESP chip variants, and development dependencies and scripts are updated.

Changes: Serial lifecycle and flash reads

Layer / File(s) Summary
Read-loop and stream teardown
src/esp_loader.ts
The loader tracks read-loop completion, retries selected serial errors only when the readable stream changes, and adds bounded cancellation, stream teardown, and port closure.
Connection lifecycle integration
src/esp_loader.ts
Reconfiguration, disconnect, console release, reconnect, and port handoff use updated shutdown handling. Each queued write acquires and releases its own writer. The classic reset path also updates its port-change result for specified ESP32-C6/C61 USB modes.
Flash-read timeout and digest handling
src/esp_loader.ts
Windows non-WebUSB CP210x reads use a 1000 ms timeout. Digest lengths other than 16 bytes and digest-read failures are logged.
Console port and UI state
js/script.js
Console setup reuses ports with existing streams and tolerates already-open errors. The UI clears stale connection references and resets state when replacement-port setup fails.

Generated firmware modules

Layer / File(s) Summary
Firmware image modules
js/modules/*
Generated modules add encoded firmware payloads and address metadata with named and default exports. Existing generated modules for the corresponding chip variants are removed. The ESP32-S3 module includes plugin metadata and a NAND plugin image.

Development tooling updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Development scripts and dependency configuration
package.json, package.cli.json
The development script switches to npm-run-all2. Electron, Electron Forge, other development dependencies, and package overrides are updated.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Explanation

The title names the two main changes: a refactor of the read loop and a longer timeout for CP2102 ports on Windows. The raw summary confirms both. The 1000 ms flash-read timeout applies only to non-WebUSB Windows CP210x ports, and the read loop logic was restructured. The title does not mention the console, port handoff, dependency, or bundled ESP chip module changes, which are secondary to the main change. The wording is specific and does not use vague terms.

Close an open port after fatal stream errors.

After fatal read and write errors, both stream getters can return null while the serial port remains open. This branch returns without calling port.close(), leaving the port open and preventing a later open() on the same port. Close the port even when both streams are unavailable, while handling an already-closed port separately. (serial.spec.whatwg.org)

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Wait for reader cancellation before handing off the port.

reader.read() can finish before reader.cancel() completes. If cancellation takes longer than the console handoff delay, port.readable can still return the canceled stream, so the console reader immediately receives done. Wait for cancellation as well as loop completion before handing off the port. (serial.spec.whatwg.org)

Major · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

Bound the pending-write wait during disconnect.

If writer.write() remains pending under serial backpressure, _writeChain does not settle. disconnect() then waits at Line 3578 and never reaches closeSerialPort(false, true). The port remains open, and _isReconfiguring remains true. Give graceful writes a deadline. If the deadline expires, abort the active writer and report the incomplete write. Web Serial write completion depends on the underlying write operation. (wicg.github.io)

Based on learnings, shutdown must bound background I/O waits or use cancellation-aware I/O.

… time

If stopReadLoop() returns false (1-second timeout expired), throw rather
than continuing. This prevents the stalled old loop from later setting
connected=false on the new port session, corrupting its state.

Addresses PR #124 reviewer concern: the prior commit (5fa810e) added the
stopReadLoop call but ignored its return value.
For chips on built-in USB-Serial-JTAG that do not support WDT reset
(ESP32-C6, C5, C61, H2, C3):
1. Release reader/writer before classic reset to avoid abort errors on
   active streams when the chip disconnects.
2. Return !this.isWebUSB() from resetToFirmwareMode() so Desktop Web Serial
   knows the native USB connection dropped and port reselection/open is needed,
   rather than falsely assuming the port stayed open.
3. In clickConsole(), clear dead port references whenever portWasClosed is true.

Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Limit the minimatch v3 override to glob 7.

The root override "glob": { "minimatch": "^3.1.2" } applies to every glob version. In the lockfile, @electron/asar@4.3.0 resolves glob@13.0.7, and that glob receives minimatch@3.1.5. Its own range is ^10.2.2. The same override also changes glob@10.5.0 under archiver-utils from minimatch ^9.0.4 to minimatch@3.1.5.

On Windows, glob matches case-insensitively by default. With nocase enabled, minimatch v3 turns literal path segments, including the drive C:, into regular expressions. glob 13's Pattern.isDrive() requires that first segment to be a string matching /^[a-z]:$/i. For an absolute drive path, it returns false. The pattern is then treated as relative to the working directory, and the walk finds no matches.

@electron/asar builds its crawl pattern as src + '/**/*'. If src is an absolute Windows path, the crawl can return no files. Forge enables ASAR (asar: true), so the packaged application archive can be empty.

Scope the minimatch v3 override to glob@7 only. Glob 7 consumers (electron-installer-common, rimraf) need that range. Let glob@13 and glob@10 use the minimatch ranges they declare. Regenerate package-lock.json after the change.

Close the existing port before reselection, or keep the open-port path for classic resets.

On Web Serial, the classic branch returns true at src/esp_loader.ts:2054 for every chip on that path, not only native USB C3 and C6 devices. The branch does not close the port. Its helpers only release locks (releaseReaderWriter(), src/esp_loader.ts:3636) and send DTR/RTS signals (hardResetToFirmware(), src/esp_loader.ts:1292-1298). The console path then clears references at js/script.js:1369, requests a port, and calls openConsolePortAndInit() at js/script.js:1406. That function calls open() at js/script.js:1156.

If the original handle is still open when the chooser returns it, open() can fail with InvalidStateError. The console then fails to start and the checkbox is reset. Whether the handle stays open depends on the browser and platform, as the port-behavior learning notes. The code should not assume that it closes.

Limit the true return to chips whose port changes on this path, or close the old handle before the reselection starts. Keep the open-port console path for the other chips.

Review comment at @src/esp_loader.ts at line 2054:
Restrict the `true` return in the `isWebUSB()` branch to chips whose port changes during this reset path; preserve the open-port console path for other chips. Use the existing chip-identification logic to determine which devices need reselection, without assuming that releasing locks or toggling DTR/RTS closes the port.

Preserve the open-port console path for chips like ESP32-C3 whose USB
connection stays active across classic reset, while returning true
(requiring port reselection) only for chips whose native USB drops
(ESP32-C6 / ESP32-C61 on Desktop Web Serial).
…-all2, reset UI on console open failure

1. Scope minimatch ^3.1.2 override strictly to glob@7 in package.json so
   glob@10 and glob@13 retain their declared minimatch versions.
2. Update npm-run-all2 to ^8.0.4 whose declared engine (^20.5.0 || >=22.0.0)
   includes Node 25 (engines.node: >=25.4.0).
3. In clickConsole(), reset connection UI and clear stale loader/stub
   references when replacement-port selection is canceled or opening fails,
   allowing subsequent connect attempts without calling disconnect() on null.
- resetToFirmwareMode(): only signal portChanges when usbMode is
  native USB (usb-otg / usb-jtag-serial); UART bridge keeps the port
  open across classic reset so reselection is wrong.
- _resetToFirmwareIfNeeded(): close the old port explicitly before
  dispatching the reselection event when portWillChange is true.
- openConsolePortAndInit(): check readable/writable before calling
  port.open(); tolerate InvalidStateError race.

Keep glob 13 on a compatible minimatch version.

The scoped glob@7 override leaves glob@13 using minimatch@11. Minimatch 11 returns Matcher objects for wildcards, but glob 13 checks for RegExp objects. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

As a result, the /**/* crawl used by @electron/asar can return no files. Forge enables ASAR packaging, so packaged applications can lack their entry point on all platforms. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Let glob 13 use its declared minimatch 10 dependency and regenerate the lockfile.

Require both streams before reusing a port.

The reuse condition skips open() when either stream is present. If readable is null and writable is present, assignPort(newPort) runs with no read side. The console then starts no reader. Web Serial can expose this state after a fatal read error.

When the read side is missing, ESP32ToolConsole._connect() shows "Terminal disconnected", logs an error, and returns. It throws nothing, so the caller's catch does not run, and the UI remains connected with no console output.

Check both streams before the port is reused. Do not only change && to ||. The open() call would then throw "already open", and the tolerated error branch would continue with the same partial port.

Suggested fix

   } else {
+    if (!newPort.readable || !newPort.writable) {
+      throw new Error("Port streams incomplete; reselect the port");
+    }
     debugMsg("Port is already open, reusing for console");
   }

Apply the same check in the tolerated already open branch. Keep it out of the fresh-open path. The WebUSB loop after open() waits for readable to appear, so a strict check there would break the stabilization logic.
