Automation & Productivity

TrinovaQ Studio includes several features that reduce manual effort, automate repetitive tasks, and help developers stay productive within safety process constraints.

---

Auto-Save

Auto-save automatically persists changes to disk without requiring manual Ctrl+S presses.

Configuration

Setting	Default	Description
Enable Auto-Save	true	Automatically saves when the editor is idle
Auto-Save Delay	3000 ms	Idle time before the save triggers

Configure via Settings → Editor → Auto-Save, or in .trinovaq.json:

{
  "autoSave": true,
  "autoSaveDelay": 2000
}

Behavior

• Auto-save triggers after the configured delay following the last keystroke
• The tab indicator (●) clears when the file is saved
• Auto-save does not trigger during active typing

Code Fix Suggestions

For common, well-understood MISRA violations, TrinovaQ Studio can propose and apply atomic code fixes — single, targeted edits that resolve the violation without introducing side effects.

How It Works

1. Run a static analysis scan (Ctrl+Shift+I)
2. In the Problems panel, look for findings with a Show Fix button
3. Click Show Fix to see the suggested change in a diff view
4. Click Apply Fix to accept the change

Supported Fix Patterns

Violation Type	Fix Applied
Uninitialized variable	Adds = 0 or appropriate initializer at declaration
Banned function: gets	Replaces with fgets with safe arguments
Banned function: strcpy	Replaces with strncpy with explicit size
sprintf → size-safe variant	Replaces with snprintf

note

Code fix suggestions are deterministic and conservative — they apply only well-understood, safe transformations. They do not perform semantic analysis or speculative refactoring. Always review the suggested fix before applying.

Undo Support

Applied fixes preserve the full undo/redo history. Press Ctrl+Z to revert a fix.

Automotive Snippets Library

The snippet library accelerates writing common embedded patterns. See the Code Editor page for the full snippet reference.

Quick access:

• Type a trigger word in a .c file and press Tab
• Available triggers: header_guard, for_safe, fsm_secure

---

Terminal Commands

The integrated terminal provides quick access to common actions without leaving the keyboard:

Command	Action
scan	Run static analysis on the active file
compile	Build the active file
help	Show available terminal commands
cls / clear	Clear the terminal display

---

Keyboard-Driven Workflow

All core actions are accessible via keyboard shortcuts to support a fast, keyboard-driven workflow:

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl+S	Save
Ctrl+O	Open folder/file
Ctrl+B	Compile
Ctrl+Shift+I	Scan Quality (static analysis)
Ctrl+F	Find in file
Ctrl+H	Find and replace
Ctrl+Q	Toggle line comment
Ctrl+Z	Undo
Ctrl+Y	Redo

---

Project-Level Policy Automation

By maintaining a .trinovaq/policy.json file in version control:

• All team members share the same rule enforcement configuration automatically
• CI/CD pipelines using TrinovaQ CLI tooling pick up the same policy
• Policy changes are auditable via version control history

See Policy Configuration for details.

---

Audit Trail (Automatic)

All compliance-relevant actions are automatically logged to an audit trail — no manual logging required:

• Every scan, compile, and flash operation is recorded
• Every deviation creation and approval is recorded
• Every user sign-in and sign-out is recorded

The audit trail operates transparently in the background and is available for administrator review.

---

Build Manifest (Automatic)

Every successful compilation automatically records a build manifest capturing the compiler version, flags, source files, and output hash. No manual action is required. This manifest is available for tool qualification evidence.
