What

Fix construct_set_timers dropping only some inactive/expired timers because it mutated the list while iterating it.

Why

The cleanup loop called timer_list.remove(t) during for t in timer_list. Each removal shifts later elements left, so the iterator skips the element right after a removed one. Adjacent removable timers — or an active-but-expired timer following any removed timer — survived into the outgoing 0x21 message, sending stale timers to the device.

How

Set length on every timer first, then filter the list in place with a comprehension (timer_list[:] = [...]). Keeps the existing in-place mutation contract callers rely on, and preserves the later truncate/pad logic.

Testing

  • New test_construct_set_timers_drops_all_removable_timers: two adjacent active-but-expired timers must serialize identically to an empty list (six inactive padding slots). Fails on the old code, passes now.
  • Full suite: 141 passed, ruff clean.

construct_set_timers called list.remove() while iterating over the same
list. Each removal shifts subsequent elements left, so the iterator skips
the element after a removed one. Adjacent inactive/expired timers (and an
expired timer following any removed timer) could survive into the outgoing
message, sending stale timers to the device.

Set length on every timer first, then filter the list in place with a
comprehension.
