The form uses `long` for HOTP counters and `readonly` for the Result and About fields. Every resource file validates against it (`make lint`). - **Still open (3d, 3e):** how the phone shows values the watch writes back (Result fields, cleared forms, the About catalog), and how long a text field may be. The catalog is capped at 800 characters, the Garmin Express limit reported in 3d. Your M1 spike and the M7 beta check answer these. +## Verified during M8 (2026-10-21) + +- **Watchdog limits come from the device files** (`simulator.json`, `watchdogCount`): 120,000 bytecodes per event on the Forerunner 255 and 255S, the only 512 KB targets, and 240,000 on the other 70. The job runner relies on that pairing, and `make products` checks it. +- **Counted bytecodes are far more than the source suggests**: simple loop iterations cost 50 to 70. The M6 step sizes had only been exercised with small codes. With large ones, every 2D encoder could trip the watchdog. `make watchdog` now proves each step stays below half the limit. +- **Glances can load the crypto they need**: the opt-in favourite code (AES, HMAC, HKDF, SHA-512, TOTP) runs in the glance at about 37 % of its 64 KB. In the simulator the glance's 1 s timer runs and the glance redraws while it is shown; how often a real watch redraws a visible glance is on the real-watch checklist. +- **Buffered bitmaps** with a two-colour palette (API 4.0+) work in the simulator on the Forerunner 255S, 70 and 965 and the Venu X1 (`make watchdog` decodes one), so very large codes are painted in steps and drawn as one bitmap. +- **The simulator doesn't return to the glance** when an app exits; a new launch starts in the glance. +- **Code and constant data load whole at start**: about 156 KB of the Forerunner 255S's 512 KB, the same in release and debug builds. + ## Decisions Answered on 2026-10-18: -- cgit v1.2.3
