Breakdown of growth, maintenance, and fixes effort over time.
Bugs introduced vs. fixed over time.
Reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution. Commits that introduced bugs are retrospectively counted as poor investments.
Investment Quality reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution data. Commits identified as buggy origins (those that introduced bugs later fixed by someone) have their grow and maintenance time moved into the Wasted Time category. Their waste (fix commits) remains counted as productive. All other commits retain their standard classification: grow is productive, maintenance is maintenance, and waste (fixes) is productive.
The standard model classifies commits as Growth, Maintenance, or Fixes. Investment Quality adds a quality lens: a commit that introduced a bug is retrospectively counted as a poor investment — the engineering time spent on it was wasted because it ultimately required additional fix work. Fix commits (Fixes in the standard model) are reframed as productive, because fixing bugs is valuable work.

| 9eee870e | This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **FBOSS image build system** by adding a **generic manifest** and an accompanying staging script for **distro conveyor**. It defines a template (`generic.json`) specifying core components like the kernel, platform stack, and BSPS, along with their download paths, to enable the creation of full platform-specific images. The new `stage_artifacts.sh` script facilitates moving pre-built artifacts into the correct build paths, allowing the conveyor to build multiple platforms efficiently using a single, generic configuration. This streamlines the image build process by avoiding redundant per-platform configurations and centralizing build definitions. | Mar 30 | 3 | grow |
| 12e468bc | This commit **improves the local development experience** by **updating the `.gitignore` file** within the `fboss-image` directory. It **adds common patterns** to automatically exclude large build artifacts and temporary files, preventing them from being accidentally committed to the repository. This **maintenance change** streamlines developer workflows by reducing the need for manual `.gitignore` modifications. Ultimately, this helps keep the repository clean and **prevents unnecessary bloat** from temporary local development files. | Mar 25 | 1 | maint |
| 4600586a | This commit performs **maintenance and refactoring** of the **FBOSS agent systemd service files** to streamline their configuration and behavior. It **standardizes logging paths** to `/var/facebook/logs/fboss/` for `fboss_hw_agent@.service` and `fboss_sw_agent.service`, and sets the service type to `simple` for improved systemd integration. Additionally, **unnecessary timeout parameters** such as `RestartSec` and `TimeoutStartSec` are removed from these service definitions. A key change is made to `fboss_hw_agents.target` to **default to starting only a single NPU hardware agent** (`fboss_hw_agent@0.service`), aligning with typical device configurations. These updates enhance the consistency and robustness of FBOSS agent deployments. |

| a1bb3a21 | This commit performs a **maintenance chore** by **standardizing logging configurations** for several FBOSS platform services. It updates the `systemd` service unit files for `data_corral_service`, `fan_service`, `platform_manager`, and `sensor_service` to redirect their standard output and error streams. This ensures that all logs from these critical **platform services** are consistently written to dedicated files within the `/var/facebook/logs/fboss/` directory, significantly improving **log management and debugging** on FBOSS devices. | Mar 24 | 4 | maint |
| a62952a9 | This commit provides a **maintenance fix** for the **`qsfp_service`** by updating its **systemd unit file** (`qsfp_service.service`) within the **CentOS 09.0 image templates**. The change **redirects standard output and error** from the `qsfp_service` to a specific log file, moving away from `journald`. This improves the **diagnosability and log management** for the QSFP service, making its operational output more accessible for troubleshooting on affected systems. | Mar 24 | 1 | waste |
| 349398ae | This commit **resolves inconsistent network connectivity** for devices built with the `centos-09.0` image, specifically addressing issues with IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC). It introduces an **explicit NetworkManager connection profile** for the `eth0` interface, configuring it for reliable automatic IPv4 and IPv6 address assignment via `eth0.nmconnection`. Furthermore, it enables necessary IPv6 features like Router Advertisement acceptance and autoconfiguration through a new `sysctl` configuration, and updates the image build process to ensure correct file permissions. This **bug fix** significantly improves the **network stability and consistent interaction** with affected devices. | Mar 14 | 3 | grow |
| 9011d747 | This commit performs **maintenance updates** to the **FBOSS image build process** and several **FBOSS service configurations**. It standardizes the default log directory for `qsfp_service` and `wedge_agent` to match production environments, with `config.sh` now creating these paths and configuring SELinux permissions. Additionally, the `platform_manager` service has its Thrift SSL policy disabled, aligning with other platform stack services for the time being. These changes ensure consistent logging practices and inter-service communication settings across the FBOSS ecosystem, requiring the `policycoreutils-python-utils` package for SELinux management. | Mar 14 | 4 | maint |
| 75817cba | This commit **fixes a critical logging bug** in the **`distro_cli` image builder** that caused misleading output regarding the final location of generated image artifacts. Previously, logs incorrectly indicated artifacts remained in a temporary directory, but they were actually moved; the `_stage_artifact` function in `image_builder.py` now explicitly logs the correct destination path. Concurrently, this change **refactors** the **`distro_cli` logging infrastructure** by standardizing the root logger name to `'distro_cli'` and ensuring module-specific logger initialization. This ensures users receive **accurate and consistent log messages**, particularly concerning the storage paths of built images. | Mar 12 | 3 | waste |
| 0cb0e8e9 | This commit **fixes a configuration bug** within the `kernel_only.json` distribution manifest, which is primarily used for **CI testing**. It **corrects an incorrect relative filepath** for kernel building scripts, which was previously misinterpreted because the manifest itself resides in `fboss-image/manifests` while the scripts are in `fboss-image`. This **bug fix** ensures that the **kernel build process** for the `fboss-image` project now correctly locates its dependencies, preventing build failures in the automated testing environment. | Mar 12 | 1 | waste |
| 8bd16530 | This commit implements a **bug fix** for the **artifact download functionality** within the `distro_cli` module. Previously, local files referenced in build manifests via `"download": "file:xxxx"` were inadvertently deleted from their original paths during processing. The fix modifies the `download_artifact` function in `fboss-image/distro_cli/lib/download.py` to first **copy** these local source files to a temporary directory. This prevents the accidental removal of original artifacts, ensuring the integrity of local build inputs and enhancing the reliability of manifest-based artifact handling. | Mar 11 | 1 | waste |
| 0a46e934 | This commit **introduces a new system for defining image builds** by creating the `fboss-image/manifests` directory and adding the initial `kernel_only.json` file. This **new capability** provides a structured way to specify components and the build process for various images, starting with a **kernel-only distribution**. It directly impacts the **Conveyor** image generation pipeline, enabling the creation of **hardware-specific images** for internal use and external vendors. This foundational change facilitates more tailored and efficient image deployments. | Mar 11 | 1 | grow |
| 4328a575 | This commit performs **maintenance updates** to the **platform stack's systemd service configurations**, specifically for the **`fan_service`**, **`data_corral_service`**, and **`sensor_service`**. It **resolves service startup issues** by changing their `Type` from `notify` to `simple`, preventing them from getting stuck in an "activating" state due to unsupported `sdNotify` functionality. Additionally, the `ExecStart` commands are modified to temporarily disable `thrift_ssl_policy`, mitigating potential SSL-related startup problems until full support is implemented. This ensures these critical **platform services** can initialize correctly. | Mar 11 | 3 | maint |
| b4181f57 | This commit introduces a **new capability** by **modifying the SSH daemon configuration** for the **CentOS 09.0 distro image**. It adds `PermitRootLogin yes` to the `99-fboss.conf` file within `sshd_config.d`, explicitly allowing root users to SSH into devices. This change ensures initial access to the device, overriding default CentOS settings due to the configuration file's numerical precedence. This is considered a **temporary measure** and will be re-evaluated once a more robust access policy, such as adding a secondary user, is established. | Mar 11 | 1 | grow |
| 80c866b7 | This commit **integrates essential debugging utilities** into the **CentOS-09.0 Fboss distro image**. It specifically adds `tcpdump`, `usbutils` (for `lsusb` access), and `ndisc6` to the image configuration via `fboss-image/image_builder/templates/centos-09.0/config.xml`. This **new feature** significantly **enhances diagnostic capabilities** for the Fboss platform, providing critical tools for network analysis, USB device enumeration, and IPv6 SLAAC troubleshooting, especially valuable during **early system bring-up** and **USB boot scenarios**. | Mar 11 | 1 | grow |
| 32fbba89 | This commit provides a **bug fix** for the **Port Manager mode** within the **Transceiver State Machine**. It addresses an issue where `needMarkLastDownTime` was incorrectly reset during remediation, leading to `lastDownTime` being re-stamped on every failed cycle. The fix modifies the `operator()` in `fboss/qsfp_service/TransceiverStateMachine.h` to preserve the correct `false` value for `needMarkLastDownTime` during the `TRANSCEIVER_PROGRAMMED` to `DISCOVERED` remediation path. This ensures that `lastDownTime` accurately reflects the last actual down event, aligning **Port Manager mode** behavior with traditional mode. New tests in `fboss/qsfp_service/test/PortStateMachineTest.cpp` validate this corrected behavior. | Feb 19 | 2 | maint |
| eb972150 | This commit **fixes a bug** in the **QSFP Service's `PortManager`** where the `lastDownTime` attribute was not being correctly utilized, leading to premature remediation in opticsTx.* related link tests. It introduces new helper functions like `buildTcvrActivePortSnapshot` and `updateTcvrLastDownTime` within `PortManager.cpp` and `TransceiverManager.cpp` to accurately track and update transceiver `lastDownTime` based on port active states. This **remediation** ensures the system properly accounts for port downtime before initiating recovery actions, preventing unnecessary interventions. Additionally, **test coverage** is enhanced in `PortStateMachineTest.cpp` to explicitly validate the correct marking and usage of `lastDownTime`. | Feb 19 | 5 | waste |
| f96d5b74 | This commit **refactors** and **enhances** the **QSFP service's Port Manager** by resolving seven TODO comments in `QsfpServiceHandler.cpp`. It **implements new PRBS (Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence) methods** (`getSupportedPrbsPolynomials`, `getInterfacePrbsState`, `getAllInterfacePrbsStates`) within `PortManager`, which delegate to `TransceiverManager` for transceiver components, and adds conditional routing in `QsfpServiceHandler` when `FLAGS_port_manager_mode` is enabled. This **prepares the system for future XPHY support** by correctly handling component-specific PRBS calls. Furthermore, it clarifies the behavior of four non-PRBS methods (`getPortMediaInterface`, `getPortsRequiringOpticsFwUpgrade`, `getQsfpServiceRunState`, `setInterfaceTxRx`), explaining that their data remains controlled by `TransceiverManager` even in Port Manager mode due to their transceiver-specific nature. | Feb 11 | 3 | grow |
| b9ba79e1 | This commit introduces a **new capability** to integrate **XPHY `getPortInfo` failures** into the common **PIM error handling pipeline**, enabling automated **self-healing actions**. It modifies the `PhyManager` to record these specific failures within the `MultiPimPlatformSystemContainer`, which then exposes them through `getPimStates` after adding a new `XPHY_GET_PORT_INFO_FAILED` enum to `pim_state.thrift`. This enhancement to the **PIM error reporting subsystem** allows **Netstate** to detect and trigger recovery for critical hardware port information retrieval issues, significantly improving the **system's resilience** and automated recovery for **XPHY management**. | Feb 5 | 10 | grow |
| 7da8b3c5 | This commit performs a **refactoring** to **break the dependency** of the **PIM container statistics initialization** on `StatsPublisher` within the `fboss/lib/fpga` subsystem. Specifically, `MultiPimPlatformPimContainer` now implements a new internal function, `initPerPimFb303Stats`, to initialize per-PIM fb303 statistics directly. The `setPimContainer` method in `MultiPimPlatformSystemContainer` is updated to utilize this new standalone function, eliminating the need for `StatsPublisher`. This change enhances modularity and updates build dependencies to support the new, self-contained statistics handling. | Feb 5 | 6 | maint |
| 5083ca6e | This commit **fixes** an issue in **link tests** where `QsfpService::PortStateMachineState` was incorrectly checked for all ports defined by the agent, leading to failures on devices with backplane ports not managed by `QsfpService`. It introduces a new `qsfpServiceManagedPorts_` list within the `AgentEnsembleLinkTest` and `LinkTest` frameworks, populated with ports that have transceivers or XPHYs, mirroring the logic used by `PortManager`. Consequently, the `waitForPortStateMachineState` method now correctly restricts its checks to only these **QSFP service managed ports**, preventing erroneous test failures and improving the reliability of the **FBOSS agent's link testing infrastructure**. This is a **bug fix** that refines the scope of port state machine checks in the testing framework. | Jan 31 | 8 | maint |
