Implements the largest functional gap from the compliance audit. The
equipment now queues events the host can't immediately receive (either
because there's no SELECTED session or because the demo's force-spool
flag is on) and transmits the queue on host request.
What's new
include/secsgem/gem/store/spool.hpp
SpoolStore: a deque queue with a configurable per-stream whitelist
(so only streams 5+6 spool by default), a max_size cap with FIFO
eviction on overflow, and a `force_spool` test flag. Enqueue
returns one of Queued / Dropped_NotSpoolable / Dropped_Full so the
caller can fall back to live delivery when appropriate. Drain
pops the entire queue in FIFO order. Two new ack enums:
ResetSpoolAck (S2F44 RSPACK) and SpoolRequestAck (S6F24 RSDA), plus
SpoolRequestCode (S6F23 RSDC, Transmit/Purge).
data/messages.yaml + auto-regenerated messages.hpp
S2F43 W <L,n <B stream>> Reset Spooling
S2F44 <L,2 <B RSPACK> <L,a ...>> Reset Spooling Ack
S6F23 W <B RSDC> Request Spooled Data
S6F24 <B RSDA> Request Spooled Data Ack
data/equipment.yaml
`spool:` section: max_size + spoolable_streams list. Two new host
commands SPOOL_ON / SPOOL_OFF that flip the force-spool flag (these
stand in for "host link down" in the demo without dropping TCP).
include/secsgem/gem/store/host_commands.hpp
Spec/Result gain an optional<bool> force_spool field. S2F41
dispatch returns the result, the server applies it after S2F42 is
queued.
src/config/loader.cpp
Reads `spool:` from equipment.yaml; reads `force_spool` from each
host_commands entry; populates SpoolStore + CommandSpec.
apps/secs_server.cpp
New `deliver_or_spool(msg, what)` helper. emit_event and
emit_alarm_set funnel through it: if force_spool is on (or there's
no active session), msg.stream is checked against the spoolable
list and the message is enqueued; otherwise it's sent live.
Two new handlers:
S2F43 parses the stream list, updates SpoolStore, replies S2F44
S6F23 RSDC=Transmit drains and re-sends each as a fresh primary
(posted on the executor so the S6F24 ack flushes first);
RSDC=Purge clears the queue and acks.
The S2F41 handler now also propagates result.force_spool into the
SpoolStore.
apps/secs_client.cpp
Demo extended with 4 new steps after the FAULT branch:
SPOOL_ON -> S2F42 Accept
START -> S2F42 Accept; CEID 300 emission spooled (no live S6F11)
SPOOL_OFF -> S2F42 Accept; queue still has the message
S6F23(Transmit) -> S6F24 Accept; spooled S6F11 arrives next
Then the existing S7F19/S7F5/S10F1/S1F15/Separate flow continues.
tests/test_data_model.cpp
Four new TEST_CASEs for SpoolStore (whitelist, FIFO eviction at
max_size, drain ordering, force flag).
tests/test_loader.cpp
Confirms equipment.yaml's `spool:` section populates the store and
`force_spool: true/false` flows through to dispatch results.
COMPLIANCE.md
Spooling moves from ⬜ to 🟡. Adds S2F43/F44 + S6F23/F24 as ✅ in
the message coverage matrix; calls out what's still missing
(S6F25/F26 notification, automatic activation on HSMS NOT-SELECTED,
persistent on-disk spool).
Verified
- Tests: 73 cases / 383 assertions pass (+4 spool cases).
- Demo (docker compose up server client) walks the full happy path
and the spool path, observed in the server log as:
spool: force_spool=true (depth=0)
spool: S6F11 CEID=300 queued (depth=1)
spool: force_spool=false (depth=1)
S6F23 transmit: draining 1 messages
and on the host side as the queued S6F11 arriving in the correct
order after S6F24.
Known limitations (logged in COMPLIANCE.md)
- Spool activation is manual via SPOOL_ON/OFF rather than
automatically triggered by HSMS NOT-SELECTED.
- No S6F25/F26 spooled-data-ready notification on re-SELECT.
- In-memory only; an equipment restart loses queued events.

SECS/GEM Compliance Audit
An honest, per-capability accounting of which parts of SEMI E5 (SECS-II), E30 (GEM), and E37 (HSMS) this codebase implements, which parts it implements partially, and which parts it does not implement at all.
TL;DR. This is not a 100%-conformant GEM equipment. It implements every GEM Fundamental capability except formal Documentation (S1F19–F22) and the S9 error stream, plus most of the high-value GEM Additional capabilities (Dynamic Event Reporting, Alarms, EC, Clock, Remote Control, Process Programs, Terminal). Spooling, Limits Monitoring, Trace Data Collection, Multi-block, and Material Movement are intentionally not yet implemented. See the per-capability tables below for spec section refs.
Legend:
- ✅ Full — message/feature implemented; round-tripped in tests.
- 🟡 Partial — implemented in the demo path but with documented limitations.
- ⬜ Not implemented — intentionally out of scope for this iteration.

6. Demo evidence

exercises this concrete sequence end-to-end:
- TCP connect →
Select.req→Select.rsp(Ok)→ SELECTED on both sides. S1F13/S1F14Establish Comms.S1F17/S1F18Request Online; control state transitionsHostOffline → AttemptOnline → OnlineRemote.- Server pushes

(CEID 100 ControlStateChanged emission is correctly suppressed because the host never enabled CEID 100 — this is the correct GEM behavior.)Separate.req→ clean close on both sides.
Unit tests: 63 cases / 278 assertions pass (docker compose run --rm tests).
7. What it would take to claim "100% GEM-compliant"
The honest list, in priority order:
- Finish spooling: S6F25/F26 spooled-data-ready notification, plus
automatic activation when HSMS goes NOT-SELECTED (and automatic
notification on re-SELECT) so the host doesn't have to manually flip
the test-only
force_spoolflag. Optional: persistent on-disk spool so equipment restarts don't lose queued events. - Implement the S9 error stream (S9F1, F3, F5, F7, F9, F11, F13) for the documented transport/protocol error cases.
- Implement Documentation messages S1F19/F20 (GEM-compliance) and S1F21/F22 (data variable namelist) — needed for E30 conformance.
- Implement EC range validation in
set_equipment_constant_valueso out-of-range sets return EAC=4 instead of being silently accepted. - Implement Limits Monitoring (S2F45–F48, S6F45/F46) if the target equipment publishes monitored variables.
- Implement Trace Data Collection (S2F23/F24, S6F1/F2).
- Implement S5F7/F8 list-enabled-alarms.
- Implement multi-block transfers (S6F5/F6, S6F7/F8).
- Implement equipment processing state model with operator hooks (E30 §6.3) — the abstract model is in E30 but the concrete states are equipment-specific.
- Run the implementation against a real conformance test generator (Layer 4 of the implementation plan) on a representative tool.
After all of the above, a GEM Reference Test specification (RTS) review would still be needed before any "GEM compliant" marketing claim could be honestly made.
