normalize_dependencies' parameter is manifest_name (the dict branch
already binds owner to a package owner), and the arduino call site
passes the library's name so its unrecognized-entry warning stops
saying 'of manifest'. A version-less dependency warns when the backend
declares no provides tree (espidf/zephyr/nrf52 have no post-emit
pickup), and the shared walk mirrors the typed IncompatiblePlatform
branch: routine platform skips stay at debug, any other InvalidLibrary
cause warns naming the component. The two real-converter tests pin
ESPHOME_DATA_DIR to tmp_path so an ambient data dir cannot leak in.
A plain-string dependencies value comma-splits into names instead of
iterating into one-character libraries; entries that normalize to
nothing warn naming the manifest, and the walk's version-less skip logs
at debug for every backend. The not-bundled warning is deferred until
after the walk and stays quiet for names resolved transitively, so a
false skipping message cannot teach users to ignore the real one. An
explicitly requested bundled library that resolves to no sources and no
headers warns that the install may be incomplete.
The converted path warns for a properties-only depends= spelling (the
walk reads the JSON key). A dependency name is validated before
becoming a path component: non-strings and separator names are
malformed entries, never joined (apply_extra_script already guards the
same shape). normalize_dependencies coerces PIO's bare string-list form
to name dicts instead of dropping it before every visibility warning. A
non-* version pin discarded for a backend-provided bundled copy warns
naming the substitution. The -I global-include promotion and the
start-group link-order contract are documented.
The in-process cache served a stale graph across mtime and version
changes, which the script test suite pins; the saved re-parse was tens
of milliseconds.
A cache-arduino8266 composite action mirrors cache-esp-idf (one key
resolver, dev-writes/PR-restores) and both jobs pin
ESPHOME_ARDUINO8266_PREFIX so YAML and Python agree on the path by
construction. esp32 provides the native_toolchain_module hook, so the
shared dispatcher never names a backend and the unclaimed-native raise
loses its esp-idf carve-out; the esp8266 decode and run_compile hooks
resolve through the same seam. run_compile resolves ccache once and
threads it to the generator, env, and idedata; the compdb rule names
follow the shared kinds; the pio-options warner inlines into the driver
and derives its consumed set from the core routing constant; the
per-toolchain CI narrowing shares one body; create_components_graph is
memoized per run; the decode rate-limit drops its math sentinel.
