release / release (push) Successful in 2m13s
Release 0.0.2: M3 logger (CLI + GUI), GUI-first, CI release workflow
Crash-capture logger (M3):
- crash-safe JSONL (fsync per sample), size-based rotation, GPU-lost/recovered
  markers, atomic status file
- CLI: record run/start/stop/status/report (run = systemd-ready entrypoint)
- shared core.reccontrol so CLI + GUI drive the same recorder
- crashlog tests (writer, rotation, reader, summary, recorder)

GUI:
- Recording/Logs page: start/stop/interval controls, live status, post-crash report
- shared render helpers (format_raw/headline, render_summary)

Docs/decisions:
- GUI-first (D17); CLI keeps full parity
- D8 revised: user-local self-updating install primary, .deb optional
- planned: M12 session sharing (D16), M13 no-root auto-update from public repo (D18)
- versioning + CHANGELOG convention (D19)

Infra:
- .gitea/workflows/release.yml: build wheel+sdist and publish a Gitea release
  v<version> on push to main
- align version to the 0.0.x release line; bump to 0.0.2

RigDoctor — Roadmap (DRAFT v0.2)

Phased so the seed use case (capturing the RTX 3070 crash / black-screen events) is solved early, before the broader "tool for all Linux gamers" work. Stack: Python 3 + Qt/PySide6; Ubuntu + NVIDIA first; .deb distribution (see DECISIONS.md).

Phase 0 — Workspace & spec (done)

  • Create repo + docs scaffold
  • Settle the foundational decisions D1D11 (name, language, platform/GPU priority, MVP scope, trigger model, packaging, scope-of-action, GUI/tray)
  • Lock the MVP scope (M1 + M3 + M4, NVIDIA-only)

Phase 1 — MVP: capture this crash (Essential bundle, NVIDIA-only, CLI)

  • M1 sensor core (NVIDIA via nvidia-smi + hwmon for CPU/RAM/NVMe), stdlib-only
  • M3 crash-capture logger (JSONL, fsync per sample, GPU-lost detection, size rotation)
  • Manual trigger mode (rigdoctor record run/start/stop/status); systemd --user service + other trigger modes in Phase 4 (run is already the service entrypoint)
  • M4 health report (Xid/panic/OOM/MCE/AER/thermal scan + driver-mismatch + snapshot, suggested fixes only — D9)
  • record report post-crash summary (peak temps/power per subsystem, events, last N samples)
  • Exit criteria: user can run it during gaming and, after a freeze/black-screen, see the last readings + a plausible cause.

Phase 2 — Live monitor (terminal)

  • M2 TUI dashboard (current/min/max, grouped, throttle highlighting)
  • M8 basic alerting (overheat/throttle/GPU-lost notifications)

Phase 3 — Diagnostics breadth

  • M5 system inventory + exportable report
  • M6 gaming environment checks (suggest-only)
  • SMART integration (smartmontools if present)

Phase 4 — Desktop UI & installer

  • M10 desktop GUI (PySide6: dashboard, log browser, report viewer, logger controls)
  • M11 tray / menu-bar applet (QSystemTrayIcon: live M1 readouts + Run Diagnostic + supporting actions — D13)
  • Guided diagnostic session (pick game → focused M3 capture → M4 scan → findings), shared by tray/GUI/CLI
  • Logger trigger modes: always-on + game-launch (D12 — wrapper first: rigdoctor wrap %command% + global Steam compat-tool; zero-config watcher (Steam RunningAppID + /proc) and GameMode hook follow)
  • M9 interactive installer (GPU detection, module menu, apt dependency resolution, service enable + trigger-mode pick)
  • .deb packaging (D8) declaring per-bundle deps incl. python3-pyside6 for Desktop UI

Phase 5 — Breadth (later)

  • AMD GPU support in M1 (Steam Deck / Radeon)
  • Intel GPU best-effort
  • M13 auto-update (D18) — launch-time version check + no-root self-update of the user-local install from the public Gitea releases; GUI prompt + rigdoctor update
  • (Later, separate milestone) Optional auto-apply of suggested fixes behind explicit consent — currently out of scope (D9)

Phase 6 — Session sharing / remote assist (M12, D16)

Escalating ladder, built in order:

  • Tier 1: share export — diagnostic bundle (inventory + recent log + report); B opens it in RigDoctor. One-way, safest.
  • Tier 2: live read-only view (local server + user-chosen tunnel: Tailscale/cloudflared/ SSH; no hosted relay), token-gated, A approves, revocable.
  • Tier 3: gated interactive terminal (wrap tmate/sshx; read-only default, read-write on explicit consent), with session audit log.

Out of scope: stress/repro module (D7); multi-distro support and packaging beyond Ubuntu/apt + .deb (D15) — a thin seam is kept but not built out.

Dropped: stress / repro module (D7) — not on the roadmap.
