Reconsidered after actually feeling the friction: this data is JSON over
MQTT (not binary protobuf), only continuum-proxy ever parses it (raw
vendor wire format, never crosses into TS), so none of protobuf's actual
value (cross-language codegen, binary wire efficiency) applied here.
Every gotcha hit while building this (field_attribute's oneof/variant
path collision, needing .bambulab-scoped type_attribute calls, explicit
#[serde(default)] per not-always-present field) came from forcing
prost-build's codegen model onto a plain-JSON, Rust-only use case.
Verified the replacement is strictly simpler, not just smaller: a
hand-written struct's Option<T> field needs zero extra attributes to
handle a missing JSON key (prost's generated String needed an explicit
field_attribute call per field), and #[serde(flatten)] on a hand-written
field has no ambiguity at all (prost-build's oneof/variant path collision
doesn't exist without prost-build's codegen in the picture).
The replacement lives in continuum-proxy: src/printer/bambu_commands/.
continuum.v1 is unaffected — that schema is genuinely cross-language and
proto still earns its keep there.
Adds bambulab/v1 and bambulab/v2 to the prost-build pipeline, scoped
separately from continuum.v1's camelCase convention: bambulab.* uses
snake_case, matching Bambu's actual MQTT wire JSON exactly, since this is
edge-only traffic (continuum-proxy) that has to match the printer's real
format rather than a schema we get to design.
Verified the scoping doesn't collide: type_attribute calls are cumulative,
so the existing '.' blanket selector had to become '.continuum' specifically
- keeping it global would stack a second, conflicting #[serde(rename_all)]
onto every bambulab type too and fail to compile.
No message bodies added - proto/bambulab/{common,v1/*,v2/*}.proto are
intentionally just syntax+package+guidance comments (matching what was
already started for v1). build.rs has inline notes on the two real gotchas
already hit while prototyping this: the field_attribute path-matching
oneof/variant collision (solution: hand-write the envelope enum in Rust
instead of modeling it as a proto oneof), and serde needing #[serde(default)]
on fields that aren't always present.
Protobuf data model (Template/PrintJob/MaterialProfile/PrintParameters)
with codegen targets for TypeBox+TS types (packages/ts-types) and
prost-derived Rust structs (packages/rust-types).
