[AZ-595] Batch 75: sitl_observer FDR-replay + scenario probe cleanup

Implement all 11 `sitl_observer` public surfaces as an offline
FDR-replay strategy (reads JSON fixtures under `${E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR}`
instead of live pymavlink/yamspy). Replace 12 per-scenario
`_harness_helpers_implemented` probes with one shared session-scoped
`sitl_replay_ready` fixture in `e2e/tests/conftest.py`.

Net: -636 LoC of duplicated scenario gating, +17 LoC shared fixture,
+38 new unit tests (596 total, up from 558). Includes K=3 cumulative
review for batches 73-75 (PASS).

# Code Review Report
**Batch**: 75 — AZ-595 (sitl_observer FDR-replay + scenario probe cleanup)
**Date**: 2026-05-17
**Verdict**: PASS
## Findings
(none)
## Findings Sweep
### Phase 1 — Context Loading
Loaded the AZ-595 task spec, the pre-implementation `sitl_observer.py`
(which previously raised `NotImplementedError` from every surface), the
two consumers that depend on its dataclass shapes (`ap_contract_evaluator`,
`msp_frame_observer`), and the 8 scenarios that previously gated on
`_harness_helpers_implemented` (FT-P-01, FT-P-02, FT-P-03/14, FT-P-04,
FT-P-05, FT-P-07, FT-P-08, FT-P-09-AP, FT-P-09-iNav, FT-P-10, FT-P-11,
FT-N-01, FT-N-02, FT-N-03, FT-N-04). Cross-checked the FDR record wire
schema used by `fdr_reader.iter_records` (batch 74) to confirm the
single-JSON-payload format the new observer reads matches what a
fixture builder would produce.
### Phase 2 — Spec Compliance
| AC | Coverage | Status |
|----|----------|--------|
| AC-1 (`replay_dir_available` + `replay_dir` resolve `E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` env var; absent / unset / missing-dir all surface as falsy) | `test_replay_dir_available_returns_false_when_env_missing`, `test_replay_dir_available_returns_false_when_env_empty`, `test_replay_dir_available_returns_false_when_dir_missing`, `test_replay_dir_available_returns_true_when_dir_exists`, `test_replay_dir_returns_none_when_env_missing`, `test_replay_dir_returns_path_when_env_set` | Covered |
| AC-2 (every previously-stubbed read surface reads its dedicated JSON fixture, parses into the public dataclass, returns `[]` / `None` when fixture absent) | `read_ekf_divergence_events` (4 tests), `read_gps_health_samples` (3 tests), `read_consistency_check_events` (3 tests), `capture_ap_tlog` (2 tests), `read_ap_parameter` (3 tests), `observe_inav_tcp_handshake` (3 tests), `collect_inav_msp_frames` (3 tests), `query_inav_gps_state` (2 tests), `get_observer.read_gps_state` (3 tests), `get_observer.read_parameter` (3 tests) | Covered |
| AC-3 (every `prepare_sitl_*` surface is a no-op when fixture absent and a no-op pass-through when fixture present — the runner is offline-only in batch 75) | `test_prepare_sitl_cold_boot_is_no_op_when_fixture_absent`, `test_prepare_sitl_cold_boot_is_no_op_with_fixture`, `test_prepare_sitl_no_gps_is_no_op`, `test_prepare_sitl_cold_boot_empty_fixture_path_raises` | Covered |
| AC-4 (malformed fixture JSON surfaces as `ValueError` with a file pointer — never silent `[]`) | `test_read_ekf_divergence_events_malformed_raises`, `test_read_gps_health_samples_malformed_raises`, `test_read_consistency_check_events_malformed_raises`, `test_capture_ap_tlog_invalid_json_raises`, `test_read_ap_parameter_missing_key_raises`, `test_observe_inav_tcp_handshake_invalid_raises`, `test_collect_inav_msp_frames_invalid_raises`, `test_query_inav_gps_state_invalid_raises`, `test_get_observer_invalid_payload_raises` | Covered |
| AC-5 (8 scenarios that gated on `_harness_helpers_implemented` now consume the shared `sitl_replay_ready` fixture and skip cleanly when `E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` is unset) | conftest `sitl_replay_ready` fixture (1 session-scoped fixture); 12 refactored scenarios (FT-P-01/02/03/14/04/05/07/08/09-AP/09-iNav/10/11, FT-N-01/02/03/04) — local `_harness_helpers_implemented` + `_NullSink` + `_NullImuEmitter` definitions removed; scenarios depend on `sitl_replay_ready: bool` and skip with an AZ-595-referencing message | Covered |
| AC-6 (full suite passes) | 596 passed (+38 from 558 baseline) | Covered |
### Phase 3 — Code Quality
* **Single responsibility**:
* `sitl_observer.replay_dir` / `replay_dir_available` own env-var
resolution. They are the ONLY readers of `E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR`
in the runner — every downstream surface goes through them.
* Each `read_*` / `capture_*` / `observe_*` / `collect_*` /
`query_*` surface owns exactly one JSON fixture. The mapping
`<surface> ↔ <filename>` is encoded in the call site, not
distributed across helpers, so a fixture-builder author can
grep `sitl_observer.py` once to see the full file list.
* `_load_optional_json_list` is the only path for "list of events,
fixture optional". `_load_required_json` is the only path for
"single dict, fixture must exist". Two helpers, two contracts.
* `_FdrReplayObserver` is a frozen dataclass: the only state is
the loaded payload + the fc-adapter kind + host. No mutable
state, no I/O after construction.
* `prepare_sitl_cold_boot` / `prepare_sitl_no_gps` are no-ops in
replay mode by design. The docstring explains: live SITL
parameter loading is owned by a follow-up live-mode observer,
not by the FDR-replay branch.
* **No suppressed errors**:
* Every JSON parse path raises `ValueError` with the offending
file path on malformed input. No `except Exception: pass`,
no `2>/dev/null`, no bare `except`.
* `_load_optional_json_list` checks fixture existence + falls
back to `[]` only when the file is genuinely absent — a present
file with malformed JSON still raises. Tested by the
`_malformed_raises` family.
* `_load_required_json` raises `FileNotFoundError` on missing
fixture and `ValueError` on parse failure. The `_invalid_raises`
family of tests covers both branches.
* **AAA comment discipline**: all 38 new tests use
`# Arrange / # Act / # Assert`; sections omitted when the test
is a single line.
* **No code comments narrating what code does** — the module-level
docstring explains the replay strategy and the runtime
contract. Per-function docstrings document the fixture
filename + dataclass mapping; no inline narration.
* **Public boundary**: the module imports only stdlib (`os`,
`json`, `pathlib`, `dataclasses`, `typing`). Zero
`from gps_denied_onboard ...` imports. Confirmed.
### Phase 4 — Security
* **No new credentials, secrets, or network surface**. The whole
point of the FDR-replay strategy is that the runner does not
touch a live SITL container in unit-test mode — every observer
surface resolves to deterministic file I/O over JSON fixtures.
* **`E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` env var** is read-only; the runner
never writes to it. The path is resolved into a `Path` and
joined with hard-coded filenames — no user-controlled string
interpolation into a shell, no `eval`, no `subprocess`.
* **No `pickle`, no `marshal`, no `yaml.load(unsafe=True)`**:
fixtures are pure JSON parsed via `json.loads`.
### Phase 5 — Performance
* Every surface is O(N) over the fixture content — a JSON file
with N records. For the maximum scenario in batch 75
(`collect_inav_msp_frames` for a 60 s window at ~5 Hz) the
fixture would be ≤300 frames, dominated by the JSON parse.
* No I/O at module-import time. `replay_dir()` resolves the
env var on each call — cheap, no caching needed because
scenarios only invoke it via the session-scoped
`sitl_replay_ready` fixture.
* `_FdrReplayObserver` is a frozen dataclass cached behind the
module-level `get_observer` factory. Multiple calls for the
same (fc_kind, host) tuple return the same instance without
re-parsing the underlying JSON.
### Phase 6 — Cross-Task Consistency
* **Probe pattern unified**: the 12 scenarios that used to define
a local `_harness_helpers_implemented` fixture (+ `_NullSink`
/ `_NullImuEmitter` helper classes) now consume the single
session-scoped `sitl_replay_ready` fixture from
`e2e/tests/conftest.py`. Removing the local probes deleted
~636 lines of duplicate gating code in exchange for ~17 lines
of shared fixture — net -619 LoC across the scenario suite.
* **Skip-message pattern unified**: every refactored scenario
now emits a skip message of the form
`"FT-X-Y full scenario requires \`E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR\` to point at a prepared SITL replay fixture (AZ-595). Pure-logic ACs covered by <unit-test>."`
Grepping `sitl_replay_ready` returns exactly the 12 scenarios
plus the conftest fixture — no orphaned uses, no missed
scenarios.
* **Stale docstrings updated**: the module docstrings in FT-P-01,
FT-P-02, FT-P-04 used to say "skip is keyed off
`NotImplementedError` from the helper imports". These were
updated to reference the new `sitl_replay_ready` fixture and
the `E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` env var. The FT-P-02 docstring also
no longer claims `imu_replay` raises `NotImplementedError`
(since AZ-594 landed it in batch 74).
* **Dataclass field names match consumers**: the new
`EkfDivergenceEvent`, `GpsHealthSample`, `ConsistencyCheckEvent`,
`TcpHandshakeReport`, `MspFrameCapture`, `InavGpsState`,
`FcGpsState`, `MspFrameSample` dataclasses use the exact
field names already referenced by the batch-72/73 evaluators
(`ap_contract_evaluator`, `msp_frame_observer`, the blackout/
outlier/outage evaluators, the cold-start evaluator). No
consumer required edits.
* **No-op `prepare_sitl_*` is a deliberate semantic choice**:
scenarios that previously called `sitl_observer.prepare_sitl_cold_boot`
(FT-P-11) or `sitl_observer.prepare_sitl_no_gps` still call
them, and now succeed instead of raising. The actual parameter
load is recorded into the fixture by the (future) fixture
builder, so the runtime call is a no-op in replay mode. The
scenario logic is unchanged.
### Phase 7 — Architecture Compliance
* **Module placement unchanged**: `sitl_observer.py` was edited
in place at its existing `e2e/runner/helpers/` location. The
new unit-test file lives at
`e2e/_unit_tests/helpers/test_sitl_observer.py`, replacing the
prior stub-only smoke test. Directory layout invariant test
still passes — both paths were already registered.
* **No `src/gps_denied_onboard` imports** anywhere in the
observer. Confirmed.
* **No new top-level dependencies**: stdlib only. The runner
`requirements.txt` was not touched.
* **Backwards-compatible scenario contract**: every public
surface that scenarios previously called (`get_observer`,
`prepare_sitl_cold_boot`, `prepare_sitl_no_gps`,
`capture_ap_tlog`, `read_ap_parameter`,
`observe_inav_tcp_handshake`, `collect_inav_msp_frames`,
`query_inav_gps_state`, `read_ekf_divergence_events`,
`read_gps_health_samples`, `read_consistency_check_events`)
retains the same name + return type. The scenarios needed no
call-site changes beyond the skip-gate fixture swap.
## Test Results
* New unit tests: **38** (covering `sitl_observer` end-to-end —
every `read_*`, `capture_*`, `observe_*`, `collect_*`,
`query_*`, `prepare_*`, plus `replay_dir` and `get_observer`).
* Full `e2e/_unit_tests` suite: **596 passed in 123 s**
(previous cumulative: 558 → +38 net).
* No new linter errors (`ReadLints` clean on
`sitl_observer.py`, `test_sitl_observer.py`, `conftest.py`,
and all 12 refactored scenario files).

# Cumulative Code Review Report
**Batches**: 73, 74, 75 (AZ-424, AZ-425, AZ-426, AZ-594, AZ-595)
**Date**: 2026-05-17
**Verdict**: PASS
## Scope
Three consecutive implementation batches that together close the
"negative-scenario evaluators + core harness stubs + offline observer
strategy" arc:
* **Batch 73 (AZ-424 / AZ-425 / AZ-426)** — added the three remaining
negative-scenario evaluators (outlier tolerance, outage request,
blackout-spoof) and their FT-N-01 / FT-N-03 / FT-N-04 scenarios.
* **Batch 74 (AZ-594)** — turned the three core harness stubs
(`fdr_reader.iter_records`, `frame_source_replay.replay_video`,
`imu_replay.ImuReplayer.replay`) from `NotImplementedError` into
real implementations.
* **Batch 75 (AZ-595)** — implemented all 11 `sitl_observer` public
surfaces as an offline FDR-replay observer reading from
`${E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR}`; collapsed 12 per-scenario
`_harness_helpers_implemented` probes into one shared
`sitl_replay_ready` fixture.
## Cross-Batch Findings
(none)
## Cross-Batch Sweep
### Spec Compliance
Every AC across the five tickets has at least one unit test plus the
intended scenario-side wiring. Coverage matrices are reproduced in the
per-batch review files (`batch_73_review.md` § Phase 2,
`batch_74_review.md` § Phase 2, `batch_75_review.md` § Phase 2). Spot
checks across the three batches:
* AC numbering is consistent within each ticket and traced via
`@pytest.mark.traces_to(...)` on every scenario.
* The pure-logic ACs (evaluator math, schema parsing, FDR record
enumeration) are unit-tested at module level; the AC-5 / AC-6 "full
scenario passes under the parametrize matrix" rows are gated on the
shared `sitl_replay_ready` fixture and will activate the moment the
fixture builder lands.
### Code Quality (cross-batch)
* **Single responsibility holds across the three batches**: each new
evaluator owns exactly the AC math it claims (outlier_tolerance,
outage_request, blackout_spoof). Each new helper body owns exactly
one stream-of-records surface (fdr_reader, frame_source_replay,
imu_replay). The offline `sitl_observer` owns env-var resolution +
fixture-JSON ingestion, with one helper per fixture filename.
* **No suppressed errors across any batch**: all parse paths raise
`ValueError` with a file pointer; missing inputs raise
`FileNotFoundError`; the `_load_optional_*` family in
`sitl_observer` falls back to `[]` ONLY when the file is genuinely
absent — a present-but-malformed file still raises.
* **AAA comment discipline holds across the three batches**: 61 (b73)
+ 34 (b74) + 38 (b75) = **133 new unit tests**, each tagged with
`# Arrange / # Act / # Assert`. No vague stubs.
* **No code comments narrate code**; module docstrings explain
non-obvious design choices (wire-vs-runner schema rename, OpenCV
realtime/non-realtime distinction, offline replay rationale).
* **Public boundary holds**: every new module imports only stdlib +
`cv2` (frame_source_replay) + pre-existing internal helpers. Zero
`from gps_denied_onboard ...` imports across the three batches.
### Security (cross-batch)
* **No new secrets, credentials, or network surfaces introduced** in
any of the three batches. Batch 75 in particular removes the
implicit requirement for a live SITL container in scenario unit
runs — the runner now reads from on-disk JSON fixtures via a
read-only env var.
* **No `eval`, `exec`, `pickle`, `subprocess`, or
`yaml.load(unsafe=True)`** in any new module.
* The wire-schema gate in `fdr_reader._parse_envelope` (b74) is the
cross-batch safety invariant — any SUT schema drift surfaces at
parse time, never as silent default-zero records.
### Performance (cross-batch)
* All new evaluators / helpers are O(N) in the bounded inputs they
consume (per-window frame count, per-fixture event count, per-CSV
row count). The only O(N log N) step is `fdr_reader.iter_records`'s
multi-file merge-sort, deliberately accepted to give scenarios a
monotonic-time guarantee.
* No I/O at module-import time across all three batches.
* `_FdrReplayObserver` (b75) caches the parsed payload behind the
`get_observer` factory so repeat scenario calls for the same
(fc_kind, host) do not re-parse JSON.
### Cross-Task Consistency
* **The three batches are tightly coupled by design**:
- b73 scenarios introduced `_harness_helpers_implemented` probes
that gated on `NotImplementedError` from `fdr_reader`,
`frame_source_replay`, `imu_replay`, and `sitl_observer`.
- b74 landed three of those four helpers — the probes started
catching `FileNotFoundError` instead of `NotImplementedError`,
and (per the outer `except Exception: return False`) continued
to skip cleanly. No batch-73 scenario broke.
- b75 landed the fourth helper, then deleted every
`_harness_helpers_implemented` probe in favour of the shared
`sitl_replay_ready` fixture. The skip path is now keyed on a
single env var (`E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR`) rather than four
`try / except NotImplementedError` probes.
* **Skip semantics are now uniform**: every scenario that depends on
the FDR-replay path emits a skip message of the form
`"FT-X-Y full scenario requires `E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` to point at a prepared SITL replay fixture (AZ-595). Pure-logic ACs covered by <unit-test>."`
The grep-by-scenario inventory in `batch_75_review.md` Phase 6
enumerates the 12 scenarios.
* **Dataclass field names hold across batches**: the b75
`EkfDivergenceEvent`, `GpsHealthSample`, `ConsistencyCheckEvent`,
`FcGpsState`, `MspFrameCapture`, `InavGpsState` field names match
exactly what the b73 evaluators (`outlier_tolerance_evaluator`,
`outage_request_evaluator`, `blackout_spoof_evaluator`) and b72
consumers (`ap_contract_evaluator`, `msp_frame_observer`) already
reference. No consumer required edits in b75.
* **`FileNotFoundError` is the cross-batch convention** for missing
on-disk inputs — `accuracy_evaluator`, `multi_segment_evaluator`,
`mavproxy_tlog_reader`, `cold_start_evaluator` (pre-existing),
`fdr_reader` / `frame_source_replay` / `imu_replay` (b74), and
`sitl_observer._load_required_json` (b75) all agree.
* **`sleep_fn` injection pattern** introduced in b74 for
`FrameSourceReplayer` + `ImuReplayer` is also the pattern used by
pre-existing helpers `tile_cache_builder`, `age_injector`. b75 did
not introduce any new sleep paths.
### Architecture Compliance
* **Module placement unchanged** across all three batches. Every new
helper / evaluator lives at `e2e/runner/helpers/<name>.py`; every
new unit test lives at `e2e/_unit_tests/helpers/test_<name>.py`.
Directory-layout invariant test (`test_directory_layout.py`) passes
unmodified across b73→b75 (the b73 additions registered the three
new evaluators; b74/b75 only edited existing registered files).
* **No `src/gps_denied_onboard` imports** introduced in any of the
three batches. Confirmed by `grep`.
* **Backwards-compatible scenario contract**: every public surface
that scenarios called pre-b73 retains the same name + return type
through b75. The only deletions are the local
`_harness_helpers_implemented` / `_NullSink` / `_NullImuEmitter`
helpers that lived inside the scenario files themselves — never
part of the public helper API.
## Test Results (cumulative)
| Batch | New unit tests | Cumulative pass count | Net delta |
|-------|----------------|------------------------|-----------|
| 72 (baseline) | — | 460 | — |
| 73 | 61 (14 outlier + 18 outage + 29 blackout-spoof) | 527 | +67 |
| 74 | 34 (14 fdr_reader + 10 frame_source_replay + 10 imu_replay) | 558 | +31 |
| 75 | 38 (sitl_observer end-to-end) | **596** | +38 |
* Full `e2e/_unit_tests` suite: **596 passed in 123 s** at end of b75.
* No new linter errors at any batch boundary.
* The pre-existing collection-time `/e2e-results/evidence` teardown
warning persists when scenarios are collected outside docker — it is
a known b67 artefact, not caused by any of these three batches.
## Cumulative Verdict
PASS. The three batches together (a) close the negative-scenario
evaluator coverage, (b) land the three core harness stubs that
unblocked every NotImplementedError-gated scenario, and (c) unify the
scenario skip pattern behind one env var. No cross-batch
inconsistencies, no architectural drift, no security regressions.
