v8.5.0

Release 8.5 isolation branch chore_release-8.5.0 targeting release

y3rsh and others added 30 commits March 26, 2025 10:17
Since we have isolated Robot Stack release 8.4 into
`chore_release-8.4.0` we must lock down command schema 12 for that Robot
Stack Release. If changes are needed to command schema 12 they must
first be done in `chore_release-8.4.0` then incorporated in `edge` via a
merge back.

…cter (#17937)

This fixes a small problem I noticed with the `/clientData` endpoints.

These endpoints have a path parameter that's an arbitrary client-defined
ID, like `PUT /clientData/<id>`, `GET /clientData/<id>`. The string
ought to be at least one character long, otherwise there's no way to
distinguish `DELETE /clientData/<id>`, which deletes the specific entry
represented by `<id>`, from `DELETE /clientData/`, which deletes all
entries. This PR adds validation for that.

(cherry picked from commit 1cddbbd)
…cstring (#17980)

# Overview

@ddcc4 spotted a typo in the code sample in this docstring. We
accidentally used the deprecated pipette delay method, instead of the
proper protocol delay method.

## Test Plan and Hands on Testing

[Sandbox](http://sandbox.docs.opentrons.com/fix-delay-in-prepare_to_aspirate-docstring/v2/new_protocol_api.html#opentrons.protocol_api.InstrumentContext.prepare_to_aspirate)

## Changelog

- Use the right method
- Parentheses on method name 🧐

## Review requests

best to put this in `edge`, no?

## Risk assessment

nil

(cherry picked from commit 2dabd34)
…t_context.py (#17994)

# Overview

For some reason, we were mocking out the entire
`protocol_api/validation.py` module in `test_instrument_context.py`.
There is no reason to do that, since the validation functions are pure
functions that don't rely on external objects, and we really ought to
test the validation functions in our tests.

Furthermore, we were abusing the mocks to make the validation functions
do wild things: like mistranslating `Location`s into `WellTarget`s, or
turning the `"never"` tip-replacement policy into
`TransferTipPolicyV2.ONCE`. There is no good reason to do that, and it
just makes the test logic ridiculously hard to follow.

I need to fix this because I want to write a test for my change to the
`mix()` function, but it was very hard to do so given how we were using
`mock_validation`.

## Test Plan and Hands on Testing

I examined all the usages of `mock_validation` by hand. It was very
painful.

## Risk assessment

Low. This is a test-only change.

(cherry picked from commit 2fece0c)
# Overview

This adds the new argument `mm_from_edge` to the `touch_tip()` public
API function.

The option is needed for PD protocols. And we generally think that it
makes more sense for users to specify `mm_from_edge` instead of
`radius`.

Support for `mm_from_edge` already exists in the Protocol Core and
Engine (PR #17107), so all we need to do is to pass the new argument
along to the Core.

We follow the same convention that we adopted in the Protocol Engine,
that `radius` and `mm_from_edge` are mutually exclusive, so if the user
specifies `mm_from_edge`, they must leave `radius` to its default value
of 1.0

## Test Plan and Hands on Testing

I added unit tests to check for all combinations of `mm_from_edge` and
`radius`.

## Review requests

Do I need to do anything else for API versioning? What API version would
this go into?

## Risk assessment

Medium. We're adding a new API option, and we have to support API
changes forever once released.

(cherry picked from commit 63f1512)
Merging the latest chore_release-8.4.0 back to edge.
Plus adding a fix for command schema 13 that was not available for
release branch.

# Overview

Change build process so only the PAPI v2 docs get built on every push.
[Update: also keeping hardware docs dynamic.]

Addresses RTC-711, although followup work may need to be done on AWS
directly to add some robots.txt rules.

## Test Plan and Hands on Testing

Spot check sandbox sites against current prod:
-
http://sandbox.docs.opentrons.com/infra-stop-building-old-docs/ot1/index.html
-
http://sandbox.docs.opentrons.com/infra-stop-building-old-docs/v1/index.html

Everything should look the same. Not perfect, there is some formatting
jankiness that I'm not attempting to fix.

## Changelog

- new git ignore rules to track built copies of the archived docs sites
- commit a copy of both sites
- change `make -C api docs` to only build v2 and hardware docs. other
sites can still be built, if needed, with other `make` commands.

## Review requests

- **Is this the right way to go about this?** It works, but does it work
how we want?
- Is there anything in the Sphinx output that should still be ignored? I
think not, but I'm not 100%
- Double check built sites.
- Also now is the time to speak up if you think any of these sites
should go away forever 🚮

## Risk assessment

low-ish. you should basically never notice.

* refactor(shared-data): change liquid classes order

(cherry picked from commit 0de3e83)
…delay` (#18000)

# Overview

In PD, you can specify a delay after each aspirate and dispense in a Mix
step. There is no way to specify a delay in the PAPI `mix()` call, which
means that we can't translate a PD Mix step into a PAPI `mix()` call.

This PR introduces the parameters `aspirate_delay` and `dispense_delay`
to the `InstrumentContext.mix()` function. The new parameters are gated
to API version 2.24 and above. AUTH-1366

## Test Plan and Hands on Testing

I added tests to demonstrate that this implementation emits the correct
calls to `delay()` when the caller requests a delay in the `mix()`.

This is what the output looks like in `simulate`:
```
Mixing 2 times with a volume of 20.0 ul
	Aspirating 20.0 uL from C2 of (Retired) Armadillo 96 Well Plate 200 µL PCR Full Skirt on slot A2 at 716.0 uL/sec
	Delaying for 0 minutes and 2.5 seconds
	Dispensing 20.0 uL into C2 of (Retired) Armadillo 96 Well Plate 200 µL PCR Full Skirt on slot A2 at 716.0 uL/sec
	...
```

## Review requests

`InstrumentContext.mix()` calls `InstrumentContext.aspirate()` and
`InstrumentContext.dispense()` to implement the mix, which is nice
because the public `aspirate()` and `dispense()` functions handle things
like publishing messages for the simulator.

Ideally, we would also call the public `delay()` function for the delay.
But the `delay()` function is in `ProtocolContext`, and
`InstrumentContext` doesn't have access to that. We only have access to
the `ProtocolCore`, so we have to publish messages to the simulator
manually.

I ended up refactoring the code of `mix()` a bit because it was going to
get too repetitive and nested with the delays and `publish_context()`
messages added.

## Risk assessment

Should be low. The new parameters are version-gated. The main risk is
that we release this, and then decide that we don't want to change the
public API this way.

(cherry picked from commit 5012148)
…17310)

This PR refactors some liquid class property names and organization of properties, fully changing mmFromEdge to mmToEdge and re-organizing positionReference and offset properties.

(cherry picked from commit 0b13090)
# Overview

Lint the Python protocol files distributed as part of the v2 API docs.
Addresses RTC-137.

## Test Plan and Hands on Testing

1. Add `docs/v2/example_protocols` to the `black` command `make -C api
lint` and `make -C api format`. Was going to add it to `flake` as well,
but these files deliberately violate some `flake` rules, like never
explicitly referring back to the trash bin but definitely requiring one
to pass analysis.
2. Everything should fail because I formatted these files with tabs like
a heathen.
3. Run `format` and hopefully everything works.

## Changelog

- [x] Update Makefile
- [x] Update Python protocols to pass new lint

## Review requests

Cool cool?

## Risk assessment

v low, shouldn't introduce any CI failures unless the example protocols
are modified

The Makefile targets `test-py` and `circular-dependencies-js` were
running a bunch of subcommands serially even though those subcommands
were logically independent. This splits them up into recipes that can be
run in parallel with `make -j`, following the existing pattern based on
`%` wildcards.

## Changelog

- Moves all mention of combination adapters into a note.

effectively have been, even if we didn't strongly discourage their use).
- List a couple features that will not work with them and say that
future features are also not guaranteed.

## Review requests

## Risk assessment

nil

(cherry picked from commit ec1ec02)
This fixes what I suspect are mistakes in our GitHub Actions workflows,
which, in edge cases, could cause problems like workflows not triggering
when they should.

For instance:

`*` looks like it's meant to match everything, but for that, we really
want `**`, otherwise we fail to match things that contain slashes.

`dir1/**/*.py` looks like it's meant to match any `.py` file under
`dir1/`, but I think it will only match things like `dir1/dir2/file.py`
and `dir1/dir2/dir3/file.py`, and fail to match things like
`dir1/file.py`

(cherry picked from commit 3c8b7fa)
# Overview

associated with them.

## Test Plan and Hands on Testing

## Review requests

Check that the run log messages make sense.

## Risk assessment

Low. Adding run logs to un-used API.

# Overview

Meniscus relative positions for aspirate & dispense will now be relative
to the position of meniscus of the liquid *after* the aspirate or
dispense action.

Updated the `absolute_point_from_position_reference_and_offset()`
function to use `well.estimate_liquid_height_after_pipetting()` instead
of `well.meniscus()`

## Risk assessment

(cherry picked from commit f5499f1)
Closes EXEC-1466

Currently, when requesting a command slice or a command error slice via the HTTP API, the exact behavior varies depending on the run status, the “current” status of the run, and which parameters are (or are not) supplied. The behavior varies in the following way:

* When invoking get_slice with identical cursor and pageLength parameters, there is inconsistency in the number of returned commands when the run is in a recovery state.
* When a run is historical, an unsupplied cursor but a supplied pageLength returns the most recent pageLength commands, however, when a run is current, only the most recently running/executed command is returned.
* The above always applies to run command errors.

This commit fixes those issues by standardizing behavior in a manner that is most useful given typical client access patterns: if a cursor is not supplied but a pageLength is supplied, we return the pageLength most recent commands and command errors (so all behavior reflects the current behavior if the command slice is derived from a historical run). After doing a complete client-side audit, the client actually seemingly expects the API to behave this way, and has fortunately worked by chance.

…turn_tip (#18715)

Fixes bugs related to tracking picked up or returned tips between liquid class transfers
)

Closes RQA-4304

# Overview

The check that verifies that a submerge start location or retract end
location is not inside the liquid in well relies on knowing the height
of the liquid- either by calculating it based on liquid volume and well
inner geometry or by probing into the well.
We already skip the check if we don't know the liquid volume or haven't
probed the well yet, opting to simply log the decision instead. We
should also skip the check if a well's innergeometry isn't present
either otherwise the check will raise errors for any labware that
doesn't have inner geometry defined, like the `smc_384_read_plate`, or
if it's a custom labware.

So this PR makes it so that the check excepts on
`IncompleteLabwareDefinitionError` as well.

## Risk assessment

Low. Only skips a check that would have errored without being useful.
…ass displayNames (#18738)

# Overview

This fixes a broken test after PR #18711, which changed the names of our
liquid classes (AUTH-2003).

Specifically, we renamed `Volatile` to `Volatile (80% ethanol)`.

## Test Plan and Hands on Testing

Ran test locally. Will also see if CI tests pass.

## Risk assessment
Low, test only.
… apart (#18745)

# Overview

Some time ago, we added `with-ot-hardware: ['true', 'false']` to the
test matrix for the `opentrons package tests`, but we didn't update the
test name with the new variable. This makes it look like the same test
is running twice in CI, which is confusing.

This change just adds the `with-ot-hardware` to the test name.

## Test Plan and Hands on Testing

Run the CI tests and see.

## Risk assessment

Low, cosmetic change for Github display.
Closes AUTH-2018

# Overview

Removes auto-probing during LC-based transfer, consolidate & distribute
to avoid having this non-tested and not-fully-defined feature in the

# Overview

In PR #18711 (AUTH-2003), we changed the liquid class display names to:
`Aqueous (Deionized water)` / `Volatile (80% ethanol)` / `Viscous (50% glycerol)`.

But we've decided we want to change the display names back. So:
- displayName: `Aqueous`, description `Deionized water`, loadname: `water`
- displayName: `Volatile`, description `80% ethanol`, loadname: `ethanol_80`
- displayName: `Viscous`, description `50% glycerol`, loadname: `glycerol_50`

This reverts #18450 and #18479 to revert to digicert signing for our
windows builds.

The digicert certificate has the Common Name "Opentrons Labworks Inc."
and the ATS cert has the common name "OPENTRONS LABWORKS INC.". These
were both determined automatically by the CA from our identity
submissions, as is apparently required in the code signing cert baseline
requirements. Why are they different? A mystery for the ages.

In either case, electron-updater requires that _if_ you specify a
`publisherName` in your `app-update.yml` (which we do specifically on
windows, since it is generated from our electron-builder config and on
windows we set it because nsis packager wants it for doing signing in
the first place) _then_ the autoupdate package that will be installed
must have a CSC CN exactly matching an entry in `publisherName` or the
update will fail. Therefore updates in between <=8.4.1 and >=8.5.0 would
fail if we switched to ATS.

Instead, we'll switch back to digicert for now; we'll build the new CN
into our publisher names; and then whenever we're confident enough
people are on >=8.5.0 and therefore have the new publisher names, we'll
switch over again (we can't switch immediately because we don't do
incremental updates, just full overwrites, so the intermediate update
state would go away).

This is upsetting.

## Testing
- [x] the signing has to work again, which is never guaranteed given the
shonky state of dco integration
- [x] we should make sure we can update from 8.4.1 to this by making
sure the CN of the digital signature on the build from this pr is
exactly `Opentrons Labworks Inc.` (and updating to it in the resulting
alpha)
- [x] we should make sure we can update from this to something signed
with the new cert (by mucking around with the latest-alpha or something?
or just checking that the app-update.yml in the app's install directory
has both names)

Supercedes #18785 for build branch name reasons.
…#18802)

# Overview

In `distribute_with_liquid_class()`, we were dispensing into the same
destination well twice when the distribute consists of multiple
tip-fills.

The bug was caused by the reuse of the variable `next_dest` in
`distribute_with_liquid_class()`. `next_dest` in the outer loop is
supposed to contain the next well that we have not dispensed to yet.
However, we accidently overwrote the variable because we also use it as
a loop variable for an unrelated inner loop:
```
for next_vol, next_dest in vol_dest_combo:
```

## Test Plan and Hands on Testing

Using `analyze`, I confirmed that the double-dispense happened with
Andy's example before this change, and that it was fixed after this
change.

I also updated
`test_order_of_water_distribution_steps_using_multi_dispense()` to
perform a distribute that requires multiple tip-fills, and changed the
test to check that we're dispensing into specific wells instead of
`dest=mock.ANY`. I confirmed that the bug happened before this change,
and it was fixed after this change.

## Risk assessment

Medium: this is change deep inside our implementation. But it's
necessary to fix the bug.

…se more than tip liquid volume (#18844)

# Overview

Without the change in this PR, if an attempt is made to dispense more
than the volume present in tip, an obscure error saying `'Value must be
a positive float.'`. This error stems from the `dispense_and_wait`
method when trying to find the correction volume for a negative volume
found by calculating tip volume after dispense as `current_tip_vol -
dispense_vol`.

This PR adds a quick check for tip volume and raises an informative
error to the user.

## Risk assessment

None. Only adds an error message.

# Overview

Small PR to add a few final docs callouts before the 8.5 release:
1) adding a link to the [complex
commands](file:///Users/emilyburghardt/opentrons/api/docs/build/html/v2/new_complex_commands.html)
section of the API docs when describing for the first time how to use
`transfer_with_liquid_class()`. @sanni-t pointed out that users might
not know where to find this kind of detail.
2) updating our well bottom warning for
[EXEC-1637](https://opentrons.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/EXEC/issues/EXEC-1637?jql=project%20%3D%20%22EXEC%22%20ORDER%20BY%20created%20DESC).

Is this sufficient for
[EXEC-1637](https://opentrons.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/EXEC/issues/EXEC-1637?jql=project%20%3D%20%22EXEC%22%20ORDER%20BY%20created%20DESC)?
@caila-marashaj and I discussed keeping this simple, including leaving
it at _all reservoirs_, for extra caution. fix for this should be in
8.6.

## Risk assessment
