A2 — alarms: optional 'name:' on alarm config (a LOCAL key — SEMI only
defines numeric ALID + freetext ALTX; field appended last so existing
{id, text, category} brace-inits compile unchanged), parsed by the loader,
checked by the validator, shipped in equipment.yaml. SetAlarm/ClearAlarm
RPCs resolve config name OR stringified ALID via a constructor snapshot.
A3 — control state + health: RequestControlState fires operator events on
the io thread (read_sync) and reports what the E30 table actually did —
ACCEPT iff the equipment landed in the requested state, CANNOT_DO_NOW naming
the actual state otherwise (the shipped table has no operator path to
EquipmentOffline; the test pins that honesty). ATTEMPT_ONLINE is rejected as
transient. WatchHealth streams an immediate snapshot then pushes on link/
control-state changes via service observers (add_link_observer +
add_control_state_observer — the HandlerSlot work paying off), spool depth
sampled at the 500ms poll; ends on cancel or engine stop.
Tests: daemon suite 61 -> 101 assertions (alarm lifecycle by name/id/unknown,
WatchHealth initial + change push, all four RequestControlState semantics);
loader test for the alarm name (present + absent fallback); core 467/3055.
Interop now 15 checks incl. gRPC SetAlarm -> host receives S5F1 ALCD=0x84
ALID=1, and RequestControlState(HOST_OFFLINE) -> GetControlState confirms.

The existing loader throws ConfigError on the first problem it hits.
A customer with a tool-specific equipment.yaml that has six issues
sees one, fixes, restarts, sees the next, fixes, restarts — six
edit-restart cycles before the server even binds. Day-1 friction
is the top support ticket source in fab integrations.
This commit adds a parallel validator that does a separate read-only
pass and surfaces *every* issue at once:
$ secs_server --validate-config \
--config equipment.yaml \
--state-table control_state.yaml
[error] equipment.yaml:5 svids[0].type — unknown SECS-II type `WTF`
[error] equipment.yaml:7 alarms[0].category — value 200 out of range [0, 127]
[error] equipment.yaml:9 host_commands[0].emit_ceid — CEID 999 not declared in `ceids` section
3 error(s), 0 warning(s) across 4 files
What it catches:
- Missing required fields (device.model_name, .software_rev, …)
- Range violations (alarm category must be 0–127, spool streams 1–127,
device.id fits u16, etc.)
- Unknown enum values (SECS-II types, HCACK values, control/PJ/CJ
state and event names — using the right case + snake convention
the runtime parsers enforce)
- Duplicate IDs within svids / dvids / ecids / ceids / alarms,
duplicate PPIDs in recipes, duplicate command names in host_commands
- Referential integrity: host_commands[*].emit_ceid must exist in
ceids; host_commands[*].set_alarm must exist in alarms;
emit_on_control_change must exist in ceids
- PJ-table-specific: `NoState` sentinel rejected as `initial`,
`from`, or `to` (matches loader's existing runtime check)
- yaml-cpp Mark → 1-based line numbers when available
What it doesn't catch (out of scope this round):
- JSON Schema for editor red-squigglies (future)
- Deep semantic checks across state-table reachability
- ECID min/max value parsing (would need numeric type coupling)
Tests cover: clean file passes; multi-error YAML surfaces every issue
on a single pass; line numbers populate; control_state /
process_job_state / control_job_state casing conventions;
format_issues_to renders both severities; the shipped
data/equipment.yaml etc. validate cleanly (regression tripwire if
anyone breaks the demo configs).
INTEGRATION.md §2.3 calls out the flag and suggests CI use.
