Cold-boot: 4 optimisations cutting bbctrl listen by ~8s on the Pi
Measured on onefinity.local (Pi 3, Raspbian Stretch, bbctrl 1.6.7). Before -> after: bbctrl listen boot+20.6s -> boot+12.4s (-8.2s) host -> /api/config/load 28.2s -> 22.5s (-5.7s) The 4 changes (each independently revertable): 1. scripts/bbserial-rebind.service: do the bbserial unbind + reload in a dedicated unit ordered Before=bbctrl.service, instead of in rc.local AFTER bbctrl is already listening on the serial port. Eliminates a full bbctrl restart mid-boot. 2. scripts/bbctrl.service: drop "After=network.target". bbctrl talks to the AVR on a local serial port and to the LCD on I2C; it does not need DHCP / network-online to come up. Also adds explicit ordering after the new bbserial-rebind unit. 3. scripts/rc.local.fast: trimmed rc.local that no longer touches bbserial and backgrounds 'startx' so chromium launches in parallel with bbctrl rather than after rc.local finishes. 4. src/py/bbctrl/Planner.py: lazy-import camotics.gplan. Costs ~130ms on cold cache, deferred from import-time to ctrl.mach init. 5. (bonus) src/py/bbctrl/Log.py: tolerate FileNotFoundError in _rotate(). The improved boot path exposed a pre-existing log rotator bug that crashed bbctrl on first start when bbctrl.log.16 was missing.

# What changed vs. scripts/rc.local:
|
||||
# - bbserial unbind/rebind moved to bbserial-rebind.service (runs
|
||||
# once, before bbctrl, instead of after bbctrl is already
|
||||
# listening on the serial port).
|
||||
# - startx moved to kiosk.service so chromium starts in parallel
|
||||
# with bbctrl rather than blocking on rc.local.
|
||||
# - rc.local no longer keeps the Pi in 'starting' state forever,
|
||||
# which fixes systemd-analyze.
