fix(recovery): carry out a requested factory reset instead of looping - #164
After the reset, both slots are empty, so the device waits in recovery for a new image. That is the documented end state; once an image is installed it boots normally.
This PR edits eos_recovery_enter() next to the stage-0 boot-log PR, so merging both will need a small manual conflict fix.
Fix recovery handling so requested factory resets complete and do not leave the device stuck in recovery.
Bug Fixes:
Carry out requested factory resets on recovery entry by erasing both firmware slots and restoring boot-control defaults, preventing repeated recovery boots.
Preserve the factory-reset request when slot erasure fails so it can be retried on the next boot.
### Issue 1
core/recovery.c:522-525
On STM32F4, this path clears the reset request after erasing only part of each slot. `eos_slot_erase()` calls the board erase once, but `stm32f4_flash_erase()` ignores the length and erases one sector. Both slots are 448 KiB, so 384 KiB in Slot A and 320 KiB in Slot B retain old bytes even though the reset is recorded as complete. Make full-slot erasure work on this board before clearing the request.
### Issue 2
tests/unit/test_recovery.c:637-642
The new tests cover successful reset and ordinary recovery, but not the promised retry after an erase fails. The flash mock always succeeds for these slot ranges, so a later change could drop a failed request without either test catching it. Add separate Slot A and Slot B failure cases, reload the saved control block to check that `EOS_FLAG_FACTORY_RESET` remains set, then allow erasure and check that a later entry completes the reset.
Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

Summary
The PR carries out requested factory resets on recovery entry and clears the request after successful erasure.
A pending factory reset now erases both image slots and resets boot settings.
Verification: NOT RUN. Findings are based on source inspection.

eos_fw_factory_reset() sets EOS_FLAG_FACTORY_RESET and documents that the
next boot "erases both slots and resets boot control to defaults". The
flag only made stage-0 (ebldr_recovery_triggered) and stage-1
(eos_boot_policy_should_recover) enter recovery. eos_recovery_enter()
cleared FORCE_RECOVERY but not FACTORY_RESET, and the only code that
erased anything was the authenticated UART FACTORY command. So nothing
was reset, and because the flag survived, every later boot (including
after a recovery RESET) came straight back to recovery.
eos_recovery_enter() now performs the requested reset on entry: erase
Slot A and Slot B, return the control block to its defaults (which
clears the flag), save, and log EOS_LOG_FACTORY_RESET. If either erase
fails the flag stays set so the reset is retried on the next boot
rather than silently dropped. With both slots empty the device then
waits in recovery for a new image, which is the documented end state;
once one is installed it boots normally.
test_recovery: a FACTORY_RESET request erases both slots and leaves a
default control block with the flag cleared; a plain FORCE_RECOVERY
entry erases nothing.

Recovery now carries out application-requested factory resets on entry by erasing both firmware slots and restoring persisted boot-control defaults, while retaining the request for retry on erase failure; new unit tests cover the reset and non-reset paths.

Walkthrough
Recovery entry now processes a pending factory-reset request by erasing both slots and saving default boot-control values. Unit tests cover factory-reset results and confirm ordinary recovery preserves slot contents.
Changes: Factory reset recovery
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Process and verify factory reset core/recovery.c, tests/unit/test_recovery.c
Recovery entry erases both slots and saves default boot-control values for a pending factory-reset request. It logs the reset only after a successful save. Tests check the reset state and verify that ordinary recovery leaves slot contents unchanged.
Factory reset can report completion on STM32F4 while leaving most of each firmware slot intact. The reset can also overwrite prior boot-log entries or omit the reset event from the log. Resolve the board erase behavior before relying on this reset; the logging issues are smaller follow-ups.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to e3198
On STM32F4 devices, the new reset path can clear the pending request without erasing all application contents. This weakens reset-completion guarantees. The demonstrated scope is device-local; recovering residual contents would require a separate ability to read flash.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: The newly implemented runtime-request reset can reach cleared-request completion after incomplete STM32F4 slot erasure. Each slot is 448 KiB, but the unchanged board callback discards len and erases only the starting sector: 64 KiB for Slot A and 128 KiB for Slot B. It can return success with 384 KiB and 320 KiB respectively untouched. Recovery then initializes and persists defaults, removing the automatic retry request. The flash primitive defect already affected the interactive factory-reset handler; this PR newly relies on it to complete a pending runtime reset instead of leaving that request pending. Any confidentiality consequence depends on what the residual payload contains and an independent ability to read flash.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated reset-completion defect concerns the two application slots on a device using the supplied STM32F4 callback. Residual payload recovery would require separate flash-read access. Neither sensitive payload contents nor an attacker-accessible read mechanism was established by this inspection.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A legitimate runtime reset request can now progress through successful single-sector erase returns to persisted cleared-request state while most application-slot bytes remain. A subsequent reader with independent flash access could recover those residual bytes. This is a reset-completion and conditional data-remanence concern, not evidence of a newly exposed unauthenticated read endpoint.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Automatic erasure requires the persisted factory-reset flag, not merely recovery entry or an unauthenticated UART packet. The new behavior fulfills the existing runtime API's destructive authority. The separate UART FACTORY command remains behind the existing authentication gate.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — Reported erase failures leave the request set, allowing reboot retry; repeated erasure remains the intended recovery action. A defaults save can fail after writing a valid primary copy, and loading prefers that copy over the backup. This does not independently prove an incomplete wipe or loss of recovery because both erase calls precede the save and stage 1 has a no-image recovery fallback. That counterevidence does not resolve false-success returns from the board erase callback.

Explanation
Issue #163 requires the next boot to erase both firmware slots and reset boot control. eos_recovery_enter() calls eos_slot_erase() for both slots and clears the flag after success. However, the STM32F4 implementation of stm32f4_flash_erase() ignores len and erases only the sector containing the slot start address. Slot A is 448 KiB at 0x08010000, and Slot B is 448 KiB at 0x08080000; one sector does not erase either full slot. The new unit test uses a mock that does not establish STM32F4 behavior.
Resolution
Make the STM32F4 erase path erase every flash sector covered by the requested address range, including the full Slot A and Slot B ranges. Add board-specific coverage or another reviewable test that verifies full-slot erasure before clearing EOS_FLAG_FACTORY_RESET.

High-Level Assessment
The following are alternative approaches to this PR:
1. Share a factory-reset helper
➕ Keeps requested resets and UART-initiated resets aligned as behavior evolves.
➖ Requires refactoring the existing UART handler, whose failure and acknowledgement behavior differs from a pending boot-time request.
Recommendation: Keep the targeted recovery-entry path for this fix: it preserves the request on erase failure without changing UART command behavior. Consider a shared helper only if the two reset paths need to evolve together.

Erase the full slot range in the STM32F4 flash hook.
stm32f4_flash_erase() ignores len ((void)len;). It erases only the sector that contains addr, then returns EOS_OK. Each STM32F4 slot is 448 KB and spans several sectors, so eos_slot_erase(EOS_SLOT_A) and eos_slot_erase(EOS_SLOT_B) can return success while most of each slot remains. eos_recovery_enter() then restores the boot-control defaults and clears the factory-reset request, so the reset is not retried.
Fix the hook in boards/stm32f4/board_stm32f4.c. Erase every sector that overlaps [addr, addr + len). Return an error if any sector erase fails. The recovery.c change depends on this behavior, and other callers of the same hook, such as the boot log, boot control, and firmware update paths, depend on it too.

Review comment at @core/recovery.c at line 522:
Update stm32f4_flash_erase to honor len by erasing every flash sector that
overlaps the range [addr, addr + len), rather than only the sector containing
addr. Return an error if any sector erase fails, and report success only after
the full range has been erased.

Preserve and persist the boot-log head across factory reset.
eos_bootctl_init_defaults() saves log_head as zero, but this path does not erase the boot-log region. On the next boot, stage1/main.c initializes the logger with that zero and the next append can overwrite an existing entry.
Capture eos_boot_log_get_head() before resetting the control block. Keep that value when saving the defaults, then set bctl->log_head = eos_boot_log_get_head() and save again after EOS_LOG_FACTORY_RESET is appended. Apply the same ordering to recovery_handle_factory_reset(), which serves the UART FACTORY command.

Initialize the boot log before stage-0 enters recovery.
When EOS_FLAG_FACTORY_RESET triggers stage-0 recovery, eos_boot_log_append() returns because log_initialized is still false. The successful reset path can therefore erase both slots and save the reset control block without recording EOS_LOG_FACTORY_RESET.
Initialize the log from the loaded control block before the first stage-0 log append:
Suggested fix

+extern void eos_boot_log_init(uint32_t head);
/* Forward declarations from boot_log */
extern void eos_boot_log_append(uint32_t event, uint32_t slot, uint32_t detail);
@@
int rc = eos_bootctl_load(&bctl);
(void)rc; /* defaults applied if both copies corrupt */
+ eos_boot_log_init(bctl.log_head);+
/* Record reset reason */
