readFmRds(), readDabDigRadStatus()'s acquired field, and
readDabEventStatus() all read raw[4] expecting AN649's RESP4 field, but
this driver's own established convention (getPartInfo(), and the
already-correct ficQuality/cnrDb fields in readDabDigRadStatus() itself)
is raw[5]=RESP4 (raw[0]=SPI lead-in, raw[1..4]=STATUS0-3). This is why
DAB_GET_EVENT_STATUS's serviceListReady never set — it was reading
STATUS3's ERRNR bit instead of RESP4's SVRLISTINT bit, so
/api/tuner/services returned service_list_empty forever regardless of lock
quality. Fixed all four sites; readFmRds()'s fifoUsed/blockA-D were
consequently also off by one and fixed together with it.
Confirmed live: first DAB ensemble locks in this project's history (3 found
sweeping freq_index 0-35, fic_quality=100, best CNR 20 dB on index 23), and
/api/tuner/services now returns real entries instead of service_list_empty.
The service-list entry contents themselves are still garbled (a third,
separate bug in fetchDabServiceList()'s body parsing, documented but not
fixed this session — see docs/si4684-rf-investigation-report.md).

Two independent bugs silenced the digital audio path from Si4684 into the
ADAU1701 even after the FM/DAB tune fix produced a real RF lock:
1. Si4684Driver::configureAfterBoot() wrote PIN_CONFIG_ENABLE (0x0800) as
0x0003, enabling both I2SOUTEN and DACOUTEN. AN649: "only I2SOUTEN or
DACOUTEN can be enabled at a time. If both enabled, only analog audio
output is enabled" — the chip silently fell back to its unused analog
DAC output on every boot. Fixed to 0x8002 (I2SOUTEN + INTBOUTEN),
matching the value hitech95/si468x_dab_receiver's working ALSA codec
driver uses (SI468X_PROP_I2S_ENABLED); I2SOUTEN alone (0x0002) was not
sufficient on this hardware. Also fixed AUDIO_OUTPUT_CONFIG (0x0302),
which was being written with a stray I2S-enable bit that property does
not have (its only real field is bit0 MONO).
2. Even with the chip correctly outputting I2S, the ADAU1701 received only
static. Traced with SIGMA_WRITE_REGISTER_BLOCK live overrides of
SerialInputRegister (0x081F, baked into the compiled SigmaStudio export
at ILP=0/IBP=0): IBP=1 (input data clocked on the opposite BCLK edge)
produced real, recognizable music instead of static on a locked, strong
FM signal — first confirmed end-to-end audio in this project's history.
ILP=1 made it worse and was reverted; IBP=1 kept as a runtime override
in Adau1701Driver::boot().
Remaining noise on top of the music is attributed to antenna quality
(RSSI/SNR fluctuated significantly between retunes of the same station on
the current improvised antenna) — not yet confirmed with a proper antenna.

writeCommand() had no way to send a non-zero ARG1, since it always
hardcoded ARG1=0x00 before the caller's payload. Every command whose real
ARG1 needed to carry a flag (STCACK, INTACK, SERTYPE, DIGRAD/EVENT ack) or
whose payload needed to start at ARG1 instead of ARG2 was silently broken:
- seekFm(): SEEKUP/WRAP never reached the chip (always ARG2=0x00), so
hardware seek always searched down/no-wrap; masked by the existing
100 kHz software-step fallback in Si4684Tuner.
- startDabService()/stopDabService(): SERVICE_ID/COMPONENT_ID shifted one
byte right of their real ARG4-11 positions, with SERTYPE landing where
the spec requires a fixed 0x00.
- readDabServiceData(): same shift, plus STATUS_ONLY was bit3 (0x08)
instead of the correct bit4 (0x10).
- clearFmStc(), readFmRsq(), readFmRds(), fetchDabServiceList(),
readDabDigRadStatus(), readDabEventStatus(): these AN649 commands have
only ARG1 and no ARG2 at all, so the old two-argument writeCommand()
could never carry their ack/status flags — clearFmStc()'s STCACK never
fired in this driver's history (masked by FM_TUNE_FREQ/FM_SEEK_START
auto-clearing STC per their own spec).
writeCommand() gains a fourth parameter, arg1 (default 0x00, preserving
every already-correct call site); each caller above now passes its flag
through arg1 instead of the payload array.
Confirmed live: first locked:true and first genuine hardware seek (not
software-fallback) in this driver's history — 87.5 -> 98.3 MHz, RSSI +12
dBuV, SNR +14 dB.

writeCommand() always prepends a fixed ARG1=0x00 byte before the payload;
tuneFm()/tuneDab() built their argument arrays starting at what the author
believed was ARG1, so every byte landed one slot right of its real AN649
position and an extra unused byte was appended. The chip never received the
requested frequency. This is the root cause of the months-long total RF
blackout (RSQ frozen at all-zero on every frequency/ANTCAP value) previously
attributed to a QFN exposed-pad hardware defect — that hypothesis is now
overturned, confirmed live: RSSI/SNR now read real, frequency-dependent
values with zero STC timeouts after the fix.
Also make BT1035 boot failure non-fatal in HardwareBootstrap::boot() so a
companion-chip fault no longer halts the whole device (Si4684 tuning, web
UI, Wi-Fi already isolate BT1035 readiness via CompanionChipStatus).

FM blob confirmed byte-perfect and reproduces the identical no-lock symptom
seen on DAB, strengthening the hardware-side hypothesis over firmware.
PCBWay closed the dispute without X-ray verification. Records the BT1035
AT-init root cause (software, not hardware) as a calibration note against
over-attributing intermittent symptoms to physical damage.

Si4684Driver::getPartInfo()/getSysState() existed but were never called, so
their byte-offset bugs never surfaced. Wired them into a boot-time diagnostic
log (part number, firmware revision, active image, streamed blob byte counts)
to check whether the loaded DAB/FM firmware images are genuine and intact, as
an alternative explanation to the QFN exposed-pad hardware hypothesis.
Fixed two rounds of off-by-one bugs found while doing this: the fields were
initially read one byte too far right (e.g. firmwareBuild was reading a flag
byte, not a version number); the first fix undershot in the other direction
by not accounting for readRaw()'s one-byte SPI lead-in before STATUS0 (already
documented and confirmed elsewhere in this file, in pollStc()) -- caught
because the "fixed" GET_SYS_STATE reported image=192 (0xC0), the exact
signature of STATUS3 with PUP_STATE=3 seen throughout this investigation.
All three response buffers were already sized for the lead-in byte, which
confirmed the correct fix.
Verdict, captured live: blob streamed bytes match local file sizes exactly (no
truncation), GET_SYS_STATE reports image=2 (DAB active, correct), GET_PART_INFO
reports part=4684 (matches expected Si4684 part number) with a plausible
firmware revision -- the loaded DAB firmware is genuine and intact. This closes
the last plausible firmware-side explanation for the FM/DAB no-lock symptom;
docs/si4684-rf-investigation-report.md and docs/TODO.md (P4/H5) updated with
the full record and verdict.
Also noted, not yet fixed: BT1035 AT-init now fails deterministically on every
boot (was a one-off earlier this session) -- see report's Open Items.

- Add docs/si4684-rf-investigation-report.md: full record of the FM/DAB no-lock
investigation (crystal, front-end matching, ANTCAP sweep, continuity, leading
EP solder-defect hypothesis, PCBWay report sent) plus the separate audio
profile NVS bug found and partially fixed this session.
- Fix sigma_i2c_write() (SigmaStudioFW.c): no retry on I2C failure meant a single
transient NACK anywhere in a long safeload burst (EQ apply = ~55 sequential
transactions) aborted the whole sequence. Added a 3-attempt retry.
- Add granular failure logging (AudioService::applyProfileToDsp/persistProfile,
Adau1701Driver::applyMixer/applyEq, NvsAudioProfileStore::saveProfile error
codes) to isolate the remaining NVS-side audio profile save failure.
- Si4684Driver::tuneFm gains an optional ANTCAP argument (default 0 = unchanged
auto-tune behavior) used during this session's front-end matching sweep.
