🔧 Hardware Features Not Complete

Component Swapping System

The hardware model supports component swapping conceptually, but actual implementation needs:

- Logic to add/remove ports when card is swapped
- Validation of compatible cards per controller model
SFP Swapping
- UI to change SFP speed (1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G)
- FC SFPs (8G, 16G, 32G)
- Visual representation in 3D
Drive Installation/Removal
- Interactive 3D drive slots
- Drag-and-drop drive installation
- Drive capacity and type selection
- Purity version compatibility checking
Hardware Profiles
- Preset configurations for different array models
- X70R3, X90R4, C60, etc.
- Easy switching between profiles

Visual Integration

The HARDWARE_MODEL_INTEGRATION.md provides the architecture, but implementation needs:

Component Visualizers
- ControllerVisualizer.cs

🧪 Testing

Manual Testing

Test each command in the virtual serial console:

Start simulator
Open virtual serial terminal (PuTTY-like)
Login as pureeng
Execute sudo su
Run each command and verify output matches log files

Automated Testing

Create golden transcript tests:

[Test]
public void TestPureHwListOutput()
{
    var sim = new SimulationState();
    var output = new TestSerialOutput();
    var cmd = new PureHwCommand();
    
    cmd.Execute(sim, new[] { "list" }, output);
    
    Assert.IsTrue(output.ContainsLine("Name       Status"));
    Assert.IsTrue(output.ContainsLine("CT0        ok"));
}

🏗️ Architecture Notes

Command Registration

Commands auto-register via reflection:

[SerialCommand("purehw")]
public class PureHwCommand : ISerialCommand
{
    // Implementation
}

No manual registration needed - the [SerialCommand] attribute is discovered at runtime.

Hardware Model Access

All commands access hardware through SimulationState:

var hardware = sim.GetHardwareModel();
var controller = hardware.GetController("CT0");

This ensures single source of truth.

Output Formatting

Commands format output to match real log files:

terminal.WriteLine("Name       Status         Identify  Slot  Index");
terminal.WriteLine($"{name,-10} {status,-14} {identify,-9} {slot,-5}");

Column widths match actual Pure Storage output.
