+# LDF Parser & Frame Helpers
+
+The framework parses your LDF (LIN Description File) at session start and
+exposes a typed `LdfDatabase` to tests. Tests then build and decode frames
+by **signal name**, never by hand-counting bit positions.
+
+## Why
+
+Hard-coded frame layouts (the `ALM_REQ_A_FRAME = {...}` style in
+`vendor/automated_lin_test/config.py`) drift the moment the LDF changes.
+Loading the LDF directly removes the drift and gives you a pleasant API:
+
+```python
+def test_x(lin, ldf):
+    req = ldf.frame("ALM_Req_A")
+    payload = req.pack(
+        AmbLightColourRed=0xFF, AmbLightColourGreen=0xFF,
+        AmbLightColourBlue=0xFF, AmbLightIntensity=0xFF,
+        AmbLightLIDFrom=nad, AmbLightLIDTo=nad,
+    )
+    lin.send(LinFrame(id=req.id, data=payload))
+
+    raw = lin.receive(id=ldf.frame("ALM_Status").id, timeout=1.0)
+    sig = ldf.frame("ALM_Status").unpack(bytes(raw.data))
+    assert sig["ALMNadNo"] == nad
+```
+
+## Where it lives
+
+- Parser wrapper: `ecu_framework/lin/ldf.py`
+- Test fixture: `ldf` (session-scoped, in `tests/conftest.py`)
+- Underlying library: [`ldfparser`](https://pypi.org/project/ldfparser/) (pure-Python, MIT)
+- LDF location is read from `interface.ldf_path` in YAML
+- Unit tests against `vendor/4SEVEN_color_lib_test.ldf`: `tests/unit/test_ldf_database.py`
+
+## Configuration
+
+Set `interface.ldf_path` (relative paths resolve against the workspace root):
+
+```yaml
+interface:
+  type: mum
+  host: 192.168.7.2
+  bitrate: 19200
+  ldf_path: ./vendor/4SEVEN_color_lib_test.ldf
+  # frame_lengths is optional: any keys here override the LDF on a
+  # per-frame-id basis. Leave empty to inherit everything from the LDF.
+  frame_lengths: {}
+```
+
+When `ldf_path` is set, the `lin` fixture also feeds the LDF's
+`{frame_id: length}` map into `MumLinInterface(frame_lengths=...)`, so
+`lin.receive(id=...)` knows the right number of bytes to ask for **for
+every frame in the LDF** — no per-id bookkeeping required.
+
+## API
+
+### `LdfDatabase`
+
+```python
+from ecu_framework.lin.ldf import LdfDatabase
+
+db = LdfDatabase("./vendor/4SEVEN_color_lib_test.ldf")
+
+db.protocol_version    # "2.1"
+db.baudrate            # 19200
+
+db.frame("ALM_Req_A")   # by name
+db.frame(0x0A)          # by frame_id
+db.frames()             # list[Frame]
+
+db.frame_lengths()      # {frame_id: length} — drop into MumLinInterface
+db.signal_names("ALM_Req_A")   # ['AmbLightColourRed', ...]
+```
+
+`db.frame(...)` raises `FrameNotFound` (a `KeyError` subclass) if the name
+or ID isn't present; missing files raise `FileNotFoundError`.
+
+### `Frame`
+
+```python
+frame = db.frame("ALM_Req_A")
+
+frame.id          # 0x0A (int)
+frame.name        # "ALM_Req_A"
+frame.length      # 8
+
+frame.signal_names()      # ['AmbLightColourRed', ...]
+frame.signal_layout()     # [(start_bit, name, width), ...]
+
+# Raw integer pack/unpack — use this for tests that work in raw values.
+payload = frame.pack(AmbLightColourRed=255, AmbLightColourGreen=128)
+payload = frame.pack({"AmbLightColourRed": 255})  # dict form is fine too
+
+decoded = frame.unpack(payload)   # {'AmbLightColourRed': 255, ...}
+
+# Encoding-aware variant (logical/physical values from the LDF) — use this
+# if you want to write `AmbLightUpdate="Immediate color Update"`:
+encoded = frame.encode({"AmbLightUpdate": "Immediate color Update", ...})
+decoded = frame.decode(encoded)
+```
+
+### Default values
+
+`pack()` doesn't require every signal — anything you omit takes the
+**`init_value` declared in the LDF**. For example, `ColorConfigFrameRed`'s
+`_X` signal has `init_value = 5665`, so `frame.pack()` with no kwargs
+produces a payload that decodes back to that value:
+
+```python
+db.frame("ColorConfigFrameRed").unpack(db.frame("ColorConfigFrameRed").pack())
+# → {'ColorConfigFrameRed_X': 5665, 'ColorConfigFrameRed_Y': 2396, ...}
+```
+
+This means you can usually pass only the signals the test cares about and
+let the LDF supply sensible defaults for the rest.
+
+## The `ldf` fixture
+
+`tests/conftest.py` provides a session-scoped `ldf` fixture that:
+
+1. Reads `interface.ldf_path` from config.
+2. Resolves it against the workspace root if relative.
+3. Skips the test cleanly with a clear message if the path is missing,
+   the file isn't there, or `ldfparser` isn't installed.
+4. Returns an `LdfDatabase`.
+
+A test that needs LDF-defined frames simply requests it:
+
+```python
+def test_thing(lin, ldf):
+    payload = ldf.frame("ALM_Req_A").pack(AmbLightColourRed=0xFF)
+    lin.send(LinFrame(id=ldf.frame("ALM_Req_A").id, data=payload))
+```
+
+Tests that don't need LDF can ignore the fixture; nothing is loaded
+unless the fixture is requested.
+
+## Switching between raw and encoded values
+
+| Use this | When |
+| --- | --- |
+| `frame.pack(**raw_ints) / frame.unpack(bytes)` | You're writing test logic against numeric signal values (most assertions). |
+| `frame.encode(values_dict) / frame.decode(bytes)` | You want LDF logical names (`"Immediate color Update"`) or scaled physical values (e.g. `AmbLightDuration` is `value × 0.2 s`). |
+
+Both round-trip through the same byte representation; the difference is
+purely how the values look in Python.
+
+## Common pitfalls
+
+- **Frame ID ranges**: `LinFrame` validates IDs as 0x00..0x3F (LIN classic 6-bit). `ldfparser` returns IDs in this range for normal frames; diagnostic frames (`MasterReq=0x3C`, `SlaveResp=0x3D`) are also accepted. If you ever see an out-of-range ID, you're probably looking at an event-triggered frame's collision resolution table — not a real bus ID.
+- **Bit ordering**: LDF and ldfparser both use the LIN-standard little-endian bit ordering within bytes. The framework's `Frame.pack()` matches the existing hand-rolled `vendor/automated_lin_test/config.py:pack_frame()` byte-for-byte for the 4SEVEN file.
+- **`encode` vs `encode_raw`**: ldfparser's `encode()` insists on encoded values (`"Immediate color Update"` not `0`). Our `Frame.pack()` uses `encode_raw()` instead, so kwargs are integers. If you need encoded names, use `Frame.encode(dict)` explicitly.
+
+## Migration from hardcoded frames
+
+If you have tests that import the dicts in `vendor/automated_lin_test/config.py`
+(`ALM_REQ_A_FRAME`, etc.) and call its `pack_frame` / `unpack_frame`, they
+keep working — the new system is additive. To migrate a test:
+
+```python
+# Before
+from config import ALM_REQ_A_FRAME, pack_frame
+data = pack_frame(ALM_REQ_A_FRAME, AmbLightColourRed=255, ...)
+lin.send_message(master_to_slave=True, frame_id=ALM_REQ_A_FRAME['frame_id'],
+                 data_length=ALM_REQ_A_FRAME['length'], data=data)
+
+# After
+def test(lin, ldf):
+    f = ldf.frame("ALM_Req_A")
+    lin.send(LinFrame(id=f.id, data=f.pack(AmbLightColourRed=255, ...)))
+```

+| `test_linframe_too_long_raises` | `unit` | `LinFrame(id=0x01, data=9 bytes)` must raise `ValueError`. Confirms the 8-byte payload upper bound. |
+
+**Why it matters:** `LinFrame` is the type every adapter (Mock/MUM/BabyLIN) hands back to tests. If validation drifts, all downstream tests get more permissive silently.

+Module is skipped automatically if `ldfparser` isn't installed. Uses `vendor/4SEVEN_color_lib_test.ldf` as fixture data.
+
+| Test | Markers | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `test_loads_metadata` | `unit` | `db.protocol_version` is one of `1.3`/`2.0`/`2.1` and `db.baudrate == 19200` for the 4SEVEN LDF. |
+| `test_lookup_by_name_and_id` | `unit` | `db.frame("ALM_Req_A")` and `db.frame(0x0A)` return the same frame; id/name/length match the LDF Frames block. |
+| `test_unknown_frame_raises` | `unit` | `db.frame("not_a_real_frame")` raises `FrameNotFound`. |
+| `test_signal_layout_matches_ldf` | `unit` | `frame.signal_layout()` for `ALM_Req_A` contains the exact `(start_bit, name, width)` tuples from the LDF (spot-checks `AmbLightColourRed`, `AmbLightUpdate`, `AmbLightMode`, `AmbLightLIDTo`). |
+| `test_pack_kwargs_full_payload` | `unit` | `frame.pack(...)` with all signals provided produces an 8-byte payload `ffffffff00000101`. |
+| `test_pack_unspecified_signals_use_init_value` | `unit` | `frame.pack()` with no kwargs uses each signal's LDF `init_value`. Verified by decoding the packed output for `ColorConfigFrameRed` (which has non-zero init values like 5665). |
+| `test_pack_dict_argument` | `unit` | `frame.pack({...})` and `frame.pack(**{...})` produce identical bytes. |
+| `test_pack_rejects_args_and_kwargs_together` | `unit` | `frame.pack({"X": 1}, Y=2)` raises `TypeError`. |
+| `test_unpack_round_trip` | `unit` | A non-trivial value set (RGB, intensity, mode bits, LID range) packs and unpacks back to the same dict. |
+| `test_alm_status_decode_real_payload` | `unit` | `unpack(b"\\x07\\x00\\x00\\x00")` on `ALM_Status` yields `ALMNadNo == 7`. |
+| `test_frame_lengths_includes_all_unconditional_frames` | `unit` | `db.frame_lengths()` contains every unconditional frame ID with a positive length (sanity: ALM_Req_A=8, ALM_Status=4, ConfigFrame=3). |
+| `test_frames_returns_wrapped_frame_objects` | `unit` | `db.frames()` returns wrapped `Frame` objects whose names cover the expected set (ALM_Req_A, ALM_Status, ConfigFrame…). |
+| `test_ldf_repr_does_not_explode` | `unit` | `repr(db)` includes `LdfDatabase` and doesn't raise. |
+| `test_missing_file_raises_filenotfounderror` | `unit` | `LdfDatabase(missing_path)` raises `FileNotFoundError`. |

+
+Source: [tests/test_smoke_mock.py](tests/test_smoke_mock.py)
+
+Module-local `lin` fixture forces `MockBabyLinInterface` regardless of the central config, so these always run as mock-only tests.
+
+| Test | Markers | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `TestMockLinInterface::test_mock_send_receive_echo` | `smoke req_001 req_003` | Send `LinFrame(0x12, [1,2,3])` and receive it back through the mock's loopback. ID and data must match exactly. |
+| `TestMockLinInterface::test_mock_request_synthesized_response` | `smoke req_002` | `lin.request(id=0x21, length=4)` returns a deterministic frame where `data[i] == (id + i) & 0xFF`. The mock implements this pattern so request/response logic can be tested without hardware. |
+| `TestMockLinInterface::test_mock_receive_timeout_behavior` | `smoke req_004` | `lin.receive(id=0xFF, timeout=0.1)` (no matching frame queued) returns `None` and doesn't block longer than the requested timeout. |
+| `TestMockLinInterface::test_mock_frame_validation_boundaries[…]` | `boundary req_001 req_003` | Parametrized 4 ways: `(id, payload)` ∈ `{(0x01, [0x55]), (0x3F, [0xAA,0x55]), (0x20, 5 bytes), (0x15, 8 bytes)}`. Each frame round-trips through send/receive with byte-for-byte integrity. Covers the legal LIN ID and payload-length boundaries. |

+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `test_babylin_sdk_adapter_with_mock_wrapper` | `babylin smoke req_001` | Connect (discover port, open, load SDF, start schedule) → `send(LinFrame(0x12, [0xAA,0x55,0x01]))` → `receive(timeout=0.1)`. The mock wrapper echoes the transmitted bytes; the test asserts ID and data round-trip. |
+| `test_babylin_master_request_with_mock_wrapper[…]` | `babylin smoke req_001` | Parametrized 2 ways. **`vendor.mock_babylin_wrapper-True`**: full mock with `BLC_sendRawMasterRequest(channel, id, length)` — expects the deterministic pattern. **`_MockBytesOnly-False`**: shim where only the bytes signature is supported; the adapter falls back to sending zeros and the response is asserted to be zeros of the requested length. Together these cover both SDK signatures the adapter must handle. |

+## 4. Hardware – MUM (Melexis Universal Master)
+
+Tests gated on `interface.type == "mum"`. All require:
+
+- A reachable MUM (default `192.168.7.2` over USB-RNDIS)
+- Melexis `pylin` and `pymumclient` Python packages installed
+- An ECU wired to the MUM's `lin0` and powered through `power_out0`
+- `interface.ldf_path` pointing at the LDF that matches the ECU
+
+### 4.1 `test_e2e_mum_led_activate.py`
+
+Source: [tests/hardware/test_e2e_mum_led_activate.py](tests/hardware/test_e2e_mum_led_activate.py)
+
+| Test | Markers | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `test_mum_e2e_power_on_then_led_activate` | `hardware mum` | The "smoke + LED on" flow. Reads `ALM_Status`, decodes `ALMNadNo` via the LDF, builds an `ALM_Req_A` payload (full-white RGB at full intensity, immediate setpoint, mode 0) targeting that NAD, sends it, and re-reads `ALM_Status` to confirm the bus is still alive afterward. |
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- Power-up is implicit — the MUM `lin` fixture already calls `power_control.power_up()` on connect.
+- Frame layouts come from the `ldf` fixture, not hand-coded byte positions.
+
+### 4.2 `test_mum_alm_animation.py`
+
+Source: [tests/hardware/test_mum_alm_animation.py](tests/hardware/test_mum_alm_animation.py)
+
+Suite of automated checks for the four behaviour buckets in
+`vendor/automated_lin_test/test_animation.py`. A module-scoped fixture
+reads the ECU's NAD once; an `autouse` fixture forces an OFF baseline
+before and after every test so cases don't bleed state into each other.
+
+| Test | Markers | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `test_mode0_immediate_setpoint_drives_led_on` | `hardware mum` | `AmbLightMode=0`, bright RGB+I, target single NAD. Polls `ALMLEDState` and asserts it reaches `LED_ON` within ~1 s. |
+| `test_mode1_fade_passes_through_animating` | `hardware mum` | `AmbLightMode=1` with `AmbLightDuration=10` (≈ 2 s expected). Asserts `ALMLEDState` enters `ANIMATING` during the fade and reaches `LED_ON` afterward. |
+| `test_duration_scales_with_lsb[5-0.6]` / `[10-0.6]` | `hardware mum` | Parametrized: with `Duration=N`, the `ANIMATING` window must be within ±0.6 s of `N × 0.2 s`. Loose tolerance accounts for the 50 ms poll cadence and bus latency. |
+| `test_update1_save_does_not_apply_immediately` | `hardware mum` | `AmbLightUpdate=1` (Save) with bright payload — `ALMLEDState` must NOT transition to `ANIMATING` or `LED_ON`. Verifies save-only semantics. |
+| `test_update2_apply_runs_saved_command` | `hardware mum` | After a save (Update=1), an apply (Update=2) with throwaway payload should execute the saved command — `ANIMATING` is observed. |
+| `test_update3_discard_then_apply_is_noop` | `hardware mum` | Save → Discard (Update=3) → Apply. Apply must be a no-op (no `ANIMATING`, no `LED_ON`). Verifies the discard clears the saved buffer. |
+| `test_lid_broadcast_targets_node` | `hardware mum` | `AmbLightLIDFrom=0x00, AmbLightLIDTo=0xFF` with bright RGB. Node must react and reach `LED_ON`, regardless of its actual NAD. |
+| `test_lid_invalid_range_is_ignored` | `hardware mum` | `LIDFrom > LIDTo` (e.g. `0x14 > 0x0A`). Node must ignore the frame — `ALMLEDState` stays at OFF baseline. |
+
+**Caveats:**
+
+- Visual properties (color, smoothness of fade) cannot be asserted without a camera. These tests assert only what the LIN bus exposes (`ALMLEDState` transitions, ANIMATING duration). For a human-verified visual run, use the original `vendor/automated_lin_test/test_animation.py`.
+- `test_duration_scales_with_lsb` polls every 50 ms; the tolerance is intentionally loose. Tighten it once you've measured your firmware's actual jitter.
+
+### 4.3 `test_mum_auto_addressing.py`
+
+Source: [tests/hardware/test_mum_auto_addressing.py](tests/hardware/test_mum_auto_addressing.py)
+
+| Test | Markers | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `test_bsm_auto_addressing_changes_nad` | `hardware mum slow` | Drives the full BSM-SNPD sequence (INIT → 16× ASSIGN → STORE → FINALIZE) with a target NAD different from the ECU's current one, then re-reads `ALM_Status` and asserts `ALMNadNo == target`. Always restores the original NAD in a `finally` block (the restore result is recorded as report properties). Uses `lin.send_raw()` so the LIN 1.x **Classic** checksum is used — Enhanced would be silently rejected by the firmware. |
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- Marked `slow` because the full sequence runs in ~3-4 seconds (two BSM cycles plus settle). Skip with `-m "hardware and mum and not slow"`.
+- Restore is best-effort: if the second BSM cycle fails, the bench stays at the target NAD. The restore failure is visible as `restore_warning` / `restore_error` in the report properties.

+
+Source: [tests/hardware/test_e2e_power_on_lin_smoke.py](tests/hardware/test_e2e_power_on_lin_smoke.py)
+
+Despite living in `tests/hardware/`, this file targets the **BabyLIN** adapter (it predates the MUM migration). See section 5.4.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Hardware – BabyLIN (legacy)
+
+Tests gated on `interface.type == "babylin"`. Require:
+
+- BabyLIN device + native libraries placed under `vendor/`
+- An SDF compiled from your LDF, path supplied via `interface.sdf_path`
+- For the E2E test: an Owon PSU on a serial port (the BabyLIN doesn't supply ECU power)
+
+### 5.1 `test_babylin_hardware_smoke.py`
+

+
+| Test | Markers | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `test_babylin_connect_receive_timeout` | `hardware babylin` | Minimal sanity: open the BabyLIN device via the configured `lin` fixture and call `lin.receive(timeout=0.2)`. Accepts either a `LinFrame` or `None` (timeout) — verifies the adapter is functional and not crashing. |
+
+### 5.2 `test_babylin_hardware_schedule_smoke.py`
+
+Source: [tests/test_babylin_hardware_schedule_smoke.py](tests/test_babylin_hardware_schedule_smoke.py)
+
+| Test | Markers | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `test_babylin_sdk_example_flow` | `hardware babylin smoke` | Verifies `interface.type == "babylin"` and an `sdf_path` is set, then exercises the receive path while the configured `schedule_nr` runs. Mirrors the vendor example flow (open / load SDF / start schedule / receive). Accepts either a frame or a timeout. |
+
+### 5.3 `test_hardware_placeholder.py`
+
+Source: [tests/test_hardware_placeholder.py](tests/test_hardware_placeholder.py)
+
+| Test | Markers | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `test_babylin_placeholder` | `hardware babylin` | Always passes. Used to confirm the marker filter and CI plumbing for hardware jobs without requiring any specific device behaviour. |
+
+### 5.4 `test_e2e_power_on_lin_smoke.py`
+
+Source: [tests/hardware/test_e2e_power_on_lin_smoke.py](tests/hardware/test_e2e_power_on_lin_smoke.py)
+
+| Test | Markers | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `test_e2e_power_on_then_cco_rgb_activate` | `hardware babylin` | Full BabyLIN E2E. Powers the ECU through the Owon PSU, switches to the LDF's `CCO` schedule via `lin.start_schedule("CCO")` (which resolves the schedule name to its index using `BLC_SDF_getScheduleNr`), publishes an `ALM_Req_A` payload with full-white RGB at full intensity, captures bus traffic for ~1 s, and asserts at least one frame was observed. Always disables PSU output in `finally`. |
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- This test was the original E2E target before the MUM migration. It still works as a BabyLIN smoke test if you flip `interface.type: babylin` and provide a valid SDF.
+- The Owon PSU section of `config.power_supply` must be enabled (`port`, `set_voltage`, `set_current`, `do_set: true`).
+
+---
+
+## 6. Hardware – Owon PSU only
+
+### 6.1 `test_owon_psu.py`
+
+Source: [tests/hardware/test_owon_psu.py](tests/hardware/test_owon_psu.py)
+
+| Test | Markers | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `test_owon_psu_idn_and_optional_set` | `hardware` | Independent of any LIN adapter. Skips unless `power_supply.enabled: true` and `power_supply.port` is set. Opens the configured serial port, queries `*IDN?` (asserts non-empty; optionally checks `idn_substr`), reads `output?`, and — if `do_set: true` — sets V/I, briefly enables output, measures back, then disables. All values are recorded as report properties. |
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- Useful as a pure-PSU bench check before running any LIN E2E test.
+- Settings can live in `config/test_config.yaml` (central) or `config/owon_psu.yaml` (per-machine override; the latter wins).
+
+---
+
+## Test naming conventions
+
+When adding new tests, follow these patterns so the catalog stays scannable:
+
+- **Unit tests** live in `tests/unit/` and carry `@pytest.mark.unit`. Filename starts with `test_<thing>_<scope>` (e.g., `test_mum_adapter_mocked.py`).
+- **Mock smoke tests** live in `tests/` and use either the in-process Mock adapter (override the `lin` fixture locally) or an injected SDK mock wrapper.
+- **Hardware tests** live in `tests/hardware/` (preferred) or `tests/` (legacy) and carry `@pytest.mark.hardware` plus an adapter marker (`mum` / `babylin`).
+- **Slow tests** (>5 s) carry `@pytest.mark.slow` so they can be excluded with `-m "not slow"`.
+- **Requirement traceability** is via `req_NNN` markers on the test function and a `Requirements:` line in the docstring (parsed by the reporting plugin).
+
+## Docstring format
+
+The reporting plugin extracts these fields from each test's docstring and renders them in the HTML report:
+
+```python
+"""
+Title: <short title>
+
+Description:
+    <what the test validates and why>
+
+Requirements: REQ-001, REQ-002
+
+Test Steps:
+    1. <step one>
+    2. <step two>
+
+Expected Result:
+    <succinct expected outcome>

+"""Thin wrapper over `ldfparser` for use in tests.
+
+Loads an LDF (LIN Description File) and exposes per-frame `pack()` /
+`unpack()` helpers plus a `frame_lengths()` map suitable for plugging
+into the MUM adapter's `frame_lengths` argument.
+
+Typical usage:
+
+    from ecu_framework.lin.ldf import LdfDatabase
+
+    db = LdfDatabase("./vendor/4SEVEN_color_lib_test.ldf")
+    frame = db.frame("ALM_Req_A")

+    # → {'ALMNadNo': 7, 'ALMVoltageStatus': 0, ...}
+
+The wrapper uses `encode_raw` / `decode_raw` rather than `encode` / `decode`
+so signal *encoding types* (logical/physical conversions) are bypassed —
+tests work with raw integer values, which is what `LinFrame.data` carries.
+If you need encoding-type interpretation, use `Frame.encode()` /
+`Frame.decode()` (which delegate to the underlying ldfparser methods).

+  4. FINALIZE subf=0x04, params=(0x02, 0xFF)              wait 20 ms
+
+Each frame is 8 bytes:

+Critically, BSM frames must be sent with **LIN 1.x Classic checksum**, which
+the ECU firmware checks. `MumLinInterface.send_raw()` routes through the
+transport layer's `ld_put_raw`, which uses Classic; `lin.send()` would use
+Enhanced and frames would be silently rejected.
+
+The test changes the ECU's NAD, asserts the change, and restores the original
+NAD in `finally` so it leaves the bench in the state it found it.
