+## [v0.5.4-esp32] — 2026-04-02
+
+### Added
+- **ADR-069: ESP32 CSI → Cognitum Seed RVF ingest pipeline** — Live-validated pipeline connecting ESP32-S3 CSI sensing to Cognitum Seed (Pi Zero 2 W) edge intelligence appliance. 339 vectors ingested, 100% kNN validation, SHA-256 witness chain verified.
+- **Feature vector packet (magic 0xC5110003)** — New 48-byte packet with 8 normalized dimensions (presence, motion, breathing, heart rate, phase variance, person count, fall, RSSI) sent at 1 Hz alongside vitals.
+- **`scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py`** — Python bridge: UDP listener → HTTPS ingest with bearer token auth, `--validate` (kNN + PIR ground truth), `--stats`, `--compact` modes, hash-based vector IDs, NaN/inf rejection, source IP filtering, retry logic.
+- **Arena Physica research** — 26 research documents in `docs/research/` covering Maxwell's equations in WiFi sensing, Arena Physica Studio analysis, SOTA WiFi sensing 2025-2026, GOAP implementation plan for ESP32 + Pi Zero.
+- **Cognitum Seed MCP integration** — 114-tool MCP proxy enables AI assistants to query sensing state, vectors, witness chain, and device status directly.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Compressed frame magic collision** — Reassigned compressed frame magic from `0xC5110003` to `0xC5110005` to free `0xC5110003` for feature vectors.
+- **Uninitialized `s_top_k[0]` read** — Guarded variance computation against `s_top_k_count == 0` in `send_feature_vector()`.
+- **Presence score normalization** — Bridge now divides by 15.0 instead of clamping, preserving dynamic range for raw values 1.41-14.92.
+- **Stale magic references** — Updated ADR-039, DDD model to reflect `0xC5110005` for compressed frames.
+
+### Security
+- **Credential exposure remediation** — Removed hardcoded WiFi passwords and bearer tokens from source files. Added NVS binary/CSV patterns to `.gitignore`. Environment variable fallback for bearer token.
+- **NaN/Inf injection prevention** — Bridge validates all feature dimensions are finite before Seed ingest.
+- **UDP source filtering** — `--allowed-sources` argument restricts packet acceptance to known ESP32 IPs.
+
+### Changed
+- Wire format table now includes 6 magic numbers: `0xC5110001` (raw), `0xC5110002` (vitals), `0xC5110003` (features), `0xC5110004` (WASM events), `0xC5110005` (compressed), `0xC5110006` (fused vitals).
+
+## [v0.5.3-esp32] — 2026-03-30
+
+### Added
+- **Cross-node RSSI-weighted feature fusion** — Multiple ESP32 nodes fuse CSI features using RSSI-based weighting. Closer node gets higher weight. Reduces variance noise by 29%, keypoint jitter by 72%.
+- **DynamicMinCut person separation** — Uses `ruvector_mincut::DynamicMinCut` on the subcarrier temporal correlation graph to detect independent motion clusters. Replaces variance-based heuristic for multi-person counting.
+- **RSSI-based position tracking** — Skeleton position driven by RSSI differential between nodes. Walk between ESP32s and the skeleton follows you.
+- **Per-node state pipeline (ADR-068)** — Each ESP32 node gets independent `HashMap<u8, NodeState>` with frame history, classification, vitals, and person count. Fixes #249 (the #1 user-reported issue).
+- **RuVector Phase 1-3 integration** — Subcarrier importance weighting, temporal keypoint smoothing (EMA), coherence gating, skeleton kinematic constraints (Jakobsen relaxation), compressed pose history.
+- **Client-side lerp smoothing** — UI keypoints interpolate between frames (alpha=0.15) for fluid skeleton movement.
+- **Multi-node mesh tests** — 8 integration tests covering 1-255 node configurations.
+- **`wifi_densepose` Python package** — `from wifi_densepose import WiFiDensePose` now works (#314).
+
+### Fixed
+- **Watchdog crash on busy LANs (#321)** — Batch-limited edge_dsp to 4 frames before 20ms yield. Fixed idle-path busy-spin (`pdMS_TO_TICKS(5)==0`).
+- **No detection from edge vitals (#323)** — Server now generates `sensing_update` from Tier 2+ vitals packets.
+- **RSSI byte offset mismatch (#332)** — Server parsed RSSI from wrong byte (was reading sequence counter).
+- **Stack overflow risk** — Moved 4KB of BPM scratch buffers from stack to static storage.
+- **Stale node memory leak** — `node_states` HashMap evicts nodes inactive >60s.
+- **Unsafe raw pointer removed** — Replaced with safe `.clone()` for adaptive model borrow.
+- **Firmware CI** — Upgraded to IDF v5.4, replaced `xxd` with `od` (#327).
+- **Person count double-counting** — Multi-node aggregation changed from `sum` to `max`.
+- **Skeleton jitter** — Removed tick-based noise, dampened procedural animation, recalibrated feature scaling for real ESP32 data.
+
+### Changed
+- Motion-responsive skeleton: arm swing (0-80px) driven by CSI variance, leg kick (0-50px) by motion_band_power, vertical bob when walking.
+- Person count thresholds recalibrated for real ESP32 hardware (1→2 at 0.70, EMA alpha 0.04).
+- Vital sign filtering: larger median window (31), faster EMA (0.05), looser HR jump filter (15 BPM).
+- Vendored ruvector updated to v2.1.0-40 (316 commits ahead).

+
+## [v0.5.0-esp32] — 2026-03-15
+
+### Added
+- **60 GHz mmWave sensor fusion (ADR-063)** — Auto-detects Seeed MR60BHA2 (60 GHz, HR/BR/presence) and HLK-LD2410 (24 GHz, presence/distance) on UART at boot. Probes 115200 then 256000 baud, registers device capabilities, starts background parser.
+- **48-byte fused vitals packet** (magic `0xC5110004`) — Kalman-style fusion: mmWave 80% + CSI 20% when both available. Automatic fallback to standard 32-byte CSI-only packet.
+- **Server-side fusion bridge** (`scripts/mmwave_fusion_bridge.py`) — Reads two serial ports simultaneously for dual-sensor setups where mmWave runs on a separate ESP32.
+- **Multimodal ambient intelligence roadmap (ADR-064)** — 25+ applications from fall detection to sleep monitoring to RF tomography.
+
+### Verified
+- Real hardware: ESP32-S3 (COM7) WiFi CSI + ESP32-C6/MR60BHA2 (COM4) 60 GHz mmWave running concurrently. HR=75 bpm, BR=25/min at 52 cm range. All 11 QEMU CI jobs green.
+
+## [v0.4.3-esp32] — 2026-03-15
+
+### Fixed
+- **Fall detection false positives (#263)** — Default threshold raised from 2.0 to 15.0 rad/s²; normal walking (2-5 rad/s²) no longer triggers alerts. Added 3-consecutive-frame debounce and 5-second cooldown between alerts. Verified on real ESP32-S3 hardware: 0 false alerts in 60s / 1,300+ live WiFi CSI frames.
+- **Kconfig default mismatch** — `CONFIG_EDGE_FALL_THRESH` Kconfig default was still 2000 (=2.0) while `nvs_config.c` fallback was updated to 15.0. Fixed Kconfig to 15000. Caught by real hardware testing — mock data did not reproduce.
+- **provision.py NVS generator API change** — `esp_idf_nvs_partition_gen` package changed its `generate()` signature; switched to subprocess-first invocation for cross-version compatibility.
+- **QEMU CI pipeline (11 jobs)** — Fixed all failures: fuzz test `esp_timer` stubs, QEMU `libgcrypt` dependency, NVS matrix generator, IDF container `pip` path, flash image padding, validation WARN handling, swarm `ip`/`cargo` missing.
+
+### Added
+- **4MB flash support (#265)** — `partitions_4mb.csv` and `sdkconfig.defaults.4mb` for ESP32-S3 boards with 4MB flash (e.g. SuperMini). Dual OTA slots, 1.856 MB each. Thanks to @sebbu for the community workaround that confirmed feasibility.
+- **`--strict` flag** for `validate_qemu_output.py` — WARNs now pass by default in CI (no real WiFi in QEMU); use `--strict` to fail on warnings.
+

-WiFi DensePose turns commodity WiFi signals into real-time human pose estimation, vital sign monitoring, and presence detection — all without a single pixel of video. 
+## **See through walls with WiFi** ##
 
-By analyzing Channel State Information (CSI) disturbances caused by human movement, the system reconstructs body position, breathing rate, and heartbeat using physics-based signal processing and machine learning. 
+**Turn ordinary WiFi into a sensing system.** Detect people, measure breathing and heart rate, track movement, and monitor rooms — through walls, in the dark, with no cameras or wearables. Just physics.
+
+### π RuView is a WiFi sensing platform that turns radio signals into spatial intelligence.
+
+Every WiFi router already fills your space with radio waves. When people move, breathe, or even sit still, they disturb those waves in measurable ways. RuView captures these disturbances using Channel State Information (CSI) from low-cost ESP32 sensors and turns them into actionable data: who's there, what they're doing, and whether they're okay.
+
+**What it senses:**
+- **Presence and occupancy** — detect people through walls, count them, track entries and exits
+- **Vital signs** — breathing rate and heart rate, contactless, while sleeping or sitting
+- **Activity recognition** — walking, sitting, gestures, falls — from temporal CSI patterns
+- **Environment mapping** — RF fingerprinting identifies rooms, detects moved furniture, spots new objects
+- **Sleep quality** — overnight monitoring with sleep stage classification and apnea screening
+
+Built on [RuVector](https://github.com/ruvnet/ruvector/) and [Cognitum Seed](https://cognitum.one), RuView runs entirely on edge hardware — an ESP32 mesh (as low as $9 per node) paired with a Cognitum Seed for persistent memory, cryptographic attestation, and AI integration. No cloud, no cameras, no internet required.
+
+The system learns each environment locally using spiking neural networks that adapt in under 30 seconds, with multi-frequency mesh scanning across 6 WiFi channels that uses your neighbors' routers as free radar illuminators. Every measurement is cryptographically attested via an Ed25519 witness chain.
+
+RuView also supports pose estimation (17 COCO keypoints via the WiFlow architecture), trained entirely without cameras using 10 sensor signals — a technique pioneered from the original *DensePose From WiFi* research at Carnegie Mellon University.
+
+### Built for low-power edge applications
 
 [Edge modules](#edge-intelligence-adr-041) are small programs that run directly on the ESP32 sensor — no internet needed, no cloud fees, instant response.

+
+[**rUv Neural**](rust-port/wifi-densepose-rs/crates/ruv-neural/README.md) is a 12-crate Rust ecosystem that extends RuView's signal processing into brain network topology analysis. It transforms neural magnetic field measurements from quantum sensors (NV diamond magnetometers, optically pumped magnetometers) into dynamic connectivity graphs, using minimum cut algorithms to detect cognitive state transitions in real time. The ecosystem includes crates for signal processing (`ruv-neural-signal`), graph construction (`ruv-neural-graph`), HNSW-indexed pattern memory (`ruv-neural-memory`), graph embeddings (`ruv-neural-embed`), cognitive state decoding (`ruv-neural-decoder`), and ESP32/WASM edge targets. Medical and research applications include early neurological disease detection via topology signatures, brain-computer interfaces, clinical neurofeedback, and non-invasive biomedical sensing -- bridging RuView's RF sensing architecture with the emerging field of quantum biomedical diagnostics.

+## Introduction
+
+RuView is a WiFi-based human pose estimation system built on ESP32 CSI (Channel State Information). Today, managing a RuView deployment requires juggling **6+ disconnected CLI tools**: `esptool.py` for flashing, `provision.py` for NVS configuration, `curl` for OTA and WASM management, `cargo run` for the sensing server, a browser for visualization, and manual IP tracking for node discovery. There is no single tool that provides a unified view of the entire deployment — from ESP32 hardware through the sensing pipeline to pose visualization.
+
+This issue tracks the implementation of **RuView Desktop** — a Tauri v2 cross-platform desktop application that replaces all of these tools with a single, cohesive interface. The application is designed as the **control plane** for the RuView platform, managing the full lifecycle: discover, flash, provision, OTA, load WASM, observe sensing.
+
+### Why Tauri (Not Electron/Flutter/Web)
+
+| Requirement | Why Desktop is Required |
+|-------------|------------------------|
+| Serial port access | Browser/PWA cannot touch COM/tty ports for firmware flashing |
+| Raw UDP sockets | Node discovery via broadcast probes requires raw socket access |
+| Filesystem access | Firmware binaries, WASM modules, model files live on local disk |
+| Process management | Sensing server runs as a managed child process (sidecar) |
+| Small binary | Tauri ~20 MB vs Electron ~150 MB |
+| Rust integration | Shares crates with existing workspace |
+
+### UI Design Language
+
+The frontend uses a **Foundation Book** design scheme with **Unity Editor-inspired** UI panels. Think: clean typographic hierarchy, structured panels with dockable regions, monospaced data displays, and a professional dark theme with accent colors for status indicators. Powered by rUv.
+
+---
+
+## ADR-052 Deep Overview
+
+The full architecture is documented in [ADR-052](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/blob/feat/tauri-desktop-frontend/docs/adr/ADR-052-tauri-desktop-frontend.md) with a companion [DDD bounded contexts appendix](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/blob/feat/tauri-desktop-frontend/docs/adr/ADR-052-ddd-bounded-contexts.md).
+
+### Workspace Integration
+
+The desktop app is a new Rust crate (`wifi-densepose-desktop`) in the existing workspace, sharing types with the sensing server and hardware crate. The frontend uses React + Vite + TypeScript with a Foundation Book / Unity-inspired design system.
+
+### 6 Rust Command Groups
+
+| Group | Commands | Bounded Context |
+|-------|----------|-----------------|
+| **Discovery** | `discover_nodes`, `get_node_status`, `watch_nodes` | Device Discovery |
+| **Flash** | `list_serial_ports`, `flash_firmware`, `read_chip_info` | Firmware Management |
+| **OTA** | `ota_update`, `ota_status`, `ota_batch_update` | Firmware Management |
+| **WASM** | `wasm_list`, `wasm_upload`, `wasm_control` | Edge Module |
+| **Server** | `start_server`, `stop_server`, `server_status` | Sensing Pipeline |
+| **Provision** | `provision_node`, `read_nvs` | Configuration |
+
+### 7 Frontend Pages
+
+| Page | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| **Dashboard** | Node count (online/offline), server status, quick actions, activity feed |
+| **Node Detail** | Single node deep-dive: firmware, health, TDM config, WASM modules |
+| **Flash Firmware** | 3-step wizard: select port, select firmware, flash with progress bar |
+| **WASM Modules** | Drag-and-drop upload, module list with start/stop/unload |
+| **Sensing View** | Live CSI heatmap, pose skeleton overlay, vital signs |
+| **Mesh Topology** | Force-directed graph: TDM slots, sync drift, node health |
+| **Settings** | Server ports, bind address, OTA PSK, UI theme |
+
+### DDD Bounded Contexts
+
+6 bounded contexts with 9 aggregates, 25+ domain events, and 3 anti-corruption layers. See the [DDD appendix](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/blob/feat/tauri-desktop-frontend/docs/adr/ADR-052-ddd-bounded-contexts.md) for full details.
+
+| Context | Aggregate Root(s) | Key Events |
+|---------|--------------------|------------|
+| Device Discovery | `NodeRegistry` | `NodeDiscovered`, `NodeWentOffline`, `ScanCompleted` |
+| Firmware Management | `FlashSession`, `OtaSession`, `BatchOtaSession` | `FlashProgress`, `OtaCompleted`, `BatchOtaCompleted` |
+| Configuration | `ProvisioningSession` | `NodeProvisioned`, `ConfigReadBack` |
+| Sensing Pipeline | `SensingServer`, `WebSocketSession` | `ServerStarted`, `FrameReceived` |
+| Edge Module (WASM) | `ModuleRegistry` | `ModuleUploaded`, `ModuleStarted` |
+| Visualization | Query model (no aggregate) | Consumes all upstream events |
+
+### Persistent Node Registry
+
+Stored in `~/.ruview/nodes.db` (SQLite). On startup, previously known nodes load as Offline and reconcile against fresh discovery. The app remembers the mesh across restarts.
+
+### OTA Safety Gate
+
+The `TdmSafe` rolling update strategy updates even-slot nodes first, then odd-slot nodes, ensuring adjacent nodes are never offline simultaneously during mesh-wide firmware updates.
+
+### Platform-Specific Considerations
+
+| Platform | Concern | Solution |
+|----------|---------|----------|
+| macOS | USB serial drivers need signing on Sequoia+ | Document driver requirements |
+| Windows | COM port naming, UAC | Auto-detect via registry |
+| Linux | Serial port permissions | Bundle udev rules installer |
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+| Phase | Scope | Priority |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| 1. Skeleton | Tauri scaffolding, workspace integration, React window | P0 |
+| 2. Discovery | Serial ports, node discovery, dashboard cards | P0 |
+| 3. Flash | espflash integration, flashing wizard | P0 |
+| 4. Server | Sidecar sensing server, log viewer | P1 |
+| 5. OTA | HTTP OTA with PSK auth, batch TdmSafe | P1 |
+| 6. Provisioning | NVS GUI form, read-back, mesh presets | P1 |
+| 7. WASM | Module upload/list/control | P2 |
+| 8. Sensing | WebSocket, live charts, pose overlay | P2 |
+| 9. Mesh View | Topology graph, TDM visualization | P2 |
+| 10. Polish | App signing, auto-update, onboarding wizard | P3 |
+
+Total estimated effort: ~11 weeks for a single developer.

+# ADR-049: Cross-Platform WiFi Interface Detection and Graceful Degradation
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Status | Proposed |
+| Date | 2026-03-06 |
+| Deciders | ruv |
+| Depends on | ADR-013 (Feature-Level Sensing), ADR-025 (macOS CoreWLAN) |
+| Issue | [#148](https://github.com/ruvnet/wifi-densepose/issues/148) |
+
+## Context
+
+Users report `RuntimeError: Cannot read /proc/net/wireless` when running WiFi DensePose in environments where the Linux wireless proc filesystem is unavailable:
+
+- **Docker containers** on macOS/Windows (Linux kernel detected, but no wireless subsystem)
+- **WSL2** without USB WiFi passthrough
+- **Headless Linux servers** without WiFi hardware
+- **Embedded Linux** boards without wireless-extensions support
+
+The current architecture has two layers of defense:
+
+1. **`ws_server.py`** (line 345-355) checks `os.path.exists("/proc/net/wireless")` before instantiating `LinuxWifiCollector` and falls back to `SimulatedCollector` if missing.
+2. **`rssi_collector.py`** `LinuxWifiCollector._validate_interface()` (line 178-196) raises a hard `RuntimeError` if `/proc/net/wireless` is missing or the interface isn't listed.
+
+However, there are gaps:
+
+- **Direct usage**: Any code that instantiates `LinuxWifiCollector` directly (outside `ws_server.py`) hits the unguarded `RuntimeError` with no fallback.
+- **Error message**: The RuntimeError message tells users to "use SimulatedCollector instead" but doesn't explain how.
+- **No auto-detection**: The collector selection logic is duplicated between `ws_server.py` and `install.sh` with no shared platform-detection utility.
+- **Partial `/proc/net/wireless`**: The file may exist (e.g., kernel module loaded) but contain no interfaces, producing a confusing "interface not found" error instead of a clean fallback.
+
+## Decision
+
+### 1. Platform-Aware Collector Factory
+
+Introduce a `create_collector()` factory function in `rssi_collector.py` that encapsulates the platform detection and fallback chain:
+
+```python
+def create_collector(
+    preferred: str = "auto",
+    interface: str = "wlan0",
+    sample_rate_hz: float = 10.0,
+) -> BaseCollector:
+    """
+    Create the best available WiFi collector for the current platform.
+
+    Resolution order (when preferred="auto"):
+      1. ESP32 CSI (if UDP port 5005 is receiving frames)
+      2. Platform-native WiFi:
+         - Linux: LinuxWifiCollector (requires /proc/net/wireless + active interface)
+         - Windows: WindowsWifiCollector (netsh wlan)
+         - macOS: MacosWifiCollector (CoreWLAN)
+      3. SimulatedCollector (always available)
+
+    Raises nothing — always returns a usable collector.
+    """
+```
+
+### 2. Soft Validation in LinuxWifiCollector
+
+Replace the hard `RuntimeError` in `_validate_interface()` with a class method that returns availability status without raising:
+
+```python
+@classmethod
+def is_available(cls, interface: str = "wlan0") -> tuple[bool, str]:
+    """Check if Linux WiFi collection is possible. Returns (available, reason)."""
+    if not os.path.exists("/proc/net/wireless"):
+        return False, "/proc/net/wireless not found (Docker, WSL, or no wireless subsystem)"
+    with open("/proc/net/wireless") as f:
+        content = f.read()
+    if interface not in content:
+        names = cls._parse_interface_names(content)
+        return False, f"Interface '{interface}' not in /proc/net/wireless. Available: {names}"
+    return True, "ok"
+```
+
+The existing `_validate_interface()` continues to raise `RuntimeError` for direct callers who need fail-fast behavior, but `create_collector()` uses `is_available()` to probe without exceptions.
+
+### 3. Structured Fallback Logging
+
+When auto-detection skips a collector, log at `WARNING` level with actionable context:
+
+```
+WiFi collector: LinuxWifiCollector unavailable (/proc/net/wireless not found — likely Docker/WSL).
+WiFi collector: Falling back to SimulatedCollector. For real sensing, connect ESP32 nodes via UDP:5005.
+```
+
+### 4. Consolidate Platform Detection
+
+Remove duplicated platform-detection logic from `ws_server.py` and `install.sh`. Both should use `create_collector()` (Python) or a shared `detect_wifi_platform()` shell function.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- **Zero-crash startup**: `create_collector("auto")` never raises — Docker, WSL, and headless users get `SimulatedCollector` automatically with a clear log message.
+- **Single detection path**: Platform logic lives in one place (`rssi_collector.py`), reducing drift between `ws_server.py`, `install.sh`, and future entry points.
+- **Better DX**: Error messages explain *why* a collector is unavailable and *what to do* (connect ESP32, install WiFi driver, etc.).
+
+### Negative
+
+- **SimulatedCollector may mask hardware issues**: Users with real WiFi hardware that fails detection might unknowingly run on simulated data. Mitigated by the `WARNING`-level log.
+- **Breaking change for direct `LinuxWifiCollector` callers**: Code that catches `RuntimeError` from `_validate_interface()` as a signal needs to migrate to `is_available()` or `create_collector()`. This is a minor change — there are no known external consumers.
+
+### Neutral
+
+- `_validate_interface()` behavior is unchanged for existing direct callers — this is additive.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+1. Add `create_collector()` and `BaseCollector.is_available()` to `v1/src/sensing/rssi_collector.py`
+2. Refactor `ws_server.py` `_init_collector()` to call `create_collector()`
+3. Update `install.sh` `detect_wifi_hardware()` to use shared detection logic
+4. Add unit tests for each platform path (mock `/proc/net/wireless` presence/absence)
+5. Comment on issue #148 with the fix

+# ADR-050: Quality Engineering Response — Security Hardening & Code Quality
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Status | Accepted |
+| Date | 2026-03-06 |
+| Deciders | ruv |
+| Depends on | ADR-032 (Multistatic Mesh Security) |
+| Issue | [#170](https://github.com/ruvnet/wifi-densepose/issues/170) |
+
+## Context
+
+An independent quality engineering analysis ([issue #170](https://github.com/ruvnet/wifi-densepose/issues/170)) identified 7 critical findings across the Rust codebase. After verification against the source code, the following findings are confirmed and require action:
+
+### Confirmed Critical Findings
+
+| # | Finding | Location | Verified |
+|---|---------|----------|----------|
+| 1 | Fake HMAC in `secure_tdm.rs` — XOR fold with hardcoded key | `hardware/src/esp32/secure_tdm.rs:253` | YES — comments say "sufficient for testing" |
+| 2 | `sensing-server/main.rs` is 3,741 lines — CC=65, god object | `sensing-server/src/main.rs` | YES — confirmed 3,741 lines |
+| 3 | WebSocket server has zero authentication | Rust WS codebase | YES — no auth/token checks found |
+| 4 | Zero security tests in Rust codebase | Entire workspace | YES — no auth/injection/tampering tests |
+| 5 | 54K fps claim has no supporting benchmark | No criterion benchmarks | YES — no benchmarks exist |
+
+### Findings Requiring Further Investigation
+
+| # | Finding | Status |
+|---|---------|--------|
+| 6 | Unauthenticated OTA firmware endpoint | Not found in Rust code — may be ESP32 C firmware level |
+| 7 | WASM upload without mandatory signatures | Needs review of WASM loader |
+| 8 | O(n^2) autocorrelation in heart rate detection | Needs profiling to confirm impact |
+
+## Decision
+
+Address findings in 3 priority sprints as recommended by the report.
+
+### Sprint 1: Security (Blocks Deployment)
+
+1. **Replace fake HMAC with real HMAC-SHA256** in `secure_tdm.rs`
+   - Use the `hmac` + `sha2` crates (already in `Cargo.lock`)
+   - Remove XOR fold implementation
+   - Add key derivation (no more hardcoded keys)
+
+2. **Add WebSocket authentication**
+   - Token-based auth on WS upgrade handshake
+   - Optional API key for local-network deployments
+   - Configurable via environment variable
+
+3. **Add security test suite**
+   - Auth bypass attempts
+   - Malformed CSI frame injection
+   - Protocol tampering (TDM beacon replay, nonce reuse)
+
+### Sprint 2: Code Quality & Testability
+
+4. **Decompose `main.rs`** (3,741 lines -> ~14 focused modules)
+   - Extract HTTP routes, WebSocket handler, CSI pipeline, config, state
+   - Target: no file over 500 lines
+
+5. **Add criterion benchmarks**
+   - CSI frame parsing throughput
+   - Signal processing pipeline latency
+   - WebSocket broadcast fanout
+
+### Sprint 3: Functional Verification
+
+6. **Vital sign accuracy verification**
+   - Reference signal tests with known BPM
+   - False-negative rate measurement
+
+7. **Fix O(n^2) autocorrelation** (if confirmed by profiling)
+   - Replace brute-force lag with FFT-based autocorrelation
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- Addresses all critical security findings before any production deployment
+- `main.rs` decomposition enables unit testing of server components
+- Criterion benchmarks provide verifiable performance claims
+- Security test suite prevents regression
+
+### Negative
+
+- Sprint 1 security changes are breaking for any existing TDM mesh deployments (fake HMAC -> real HMAC requires firmware update)
+- `main.rs` decomposition is a large refactor with merge conflict risk
+
+### Neutral
+
+- The report correctly identifies that life-safety claims (disaster detection, vital signs) require rigorous verification — this is an ongoing process, not a single sprint

+
+## 1. Device Discovery Context
+
+**Purpose**: Find, identify, and monitor ESP32 CSI nodes on the local network.
+
+**Upstream of**: Firmware Management, Configuration, Sensing Pipeline, Visualization
+
+### Aggregates
+
+#### `NodeRegistry` (Aggregate Root)
+
+Maintains the authoritative list of all known nodes. Merges discovery results
+from multiple strategies (mDNS, UDP probe, HTTP sweep) and deduplicates by MAC
+address.
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `nodes` | `Map<MacAddress, Node>` | All discovered nodes keyed by MAC |
+| `scan_state` | `ScanState` | Idle, Scanning, Error |
+| `last_scan` | `DateTime<Utc>` | Timestamp of last completed scan |
+
+**Invariant**: No two nodes may share the same MAC address. If a node is
+discovered via multiple strategies, the most recent data wins.
+
+**Persistence**: The registry is persisted to `~/.ruview/nodes.db` (SQLite via
+`rusqlite`). On startup, all previously known nodes are loaded as `Offline` and
+reconciled against a fresh discovery scan. This means the app **remembers the
+mesh** across restarts — critical for field deployments where nodes may be
+temporarily powered off.
+
+#### `Node` (Entity)
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `mac` | `MacAddress` (VO) | IEEE 802.11 MAC address (unique identity) |
+| `ip` | `IpAddr` | Current IP address (may change on DHCP renewal) |
+| `hostname` | `Option<String>` | mDNS hostname |

+| `tdm_config` | `Option<TdmConfig>` (VO) | TDM slot assignment |
+| `edge_tier` | `Option<u8>` | Edge processing tier (0/1/2) |
+
+### Value Objects
+
+- `MacAddress` — 6-byte hardware address, formatted as `AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF`
+- `HealthStatus` — enum: `Online`, `Offline`, `Degraded(reason: String)`
+- `DiscoveryMethod` — enum: `Mdns`, `UdpProbe`, `HttpSweep`, `Manual`
+- `TdmConfig` — `{ slot_index: u8, total_nodes: u8 }`
+- `SemVer` — semantic version `major.minor.patch`
+
+### Domain Events
+
+| Event | Payload | Consumers |
+|-------|---------|-----------|
+| `NodeDiscovered` | `{ node: Node }` | Firmware Mgmt (check for updates), Visualization (add to mesh graph) |
+| `NodeWentOffline` | `{ mac: MacAddress, last_seen: DateTime }` | Visualization (gray out node), Sensing Pipeline (remove from active set) |

+| `NodeHealthChanged` | `{ mac: MacAddress, old: HealthStatus, new: HealthStatus }` | Visualization (update indicator) |
+| `ScanCompleted` | `{ found: usize, new: usize, lost: usize }` | Dashboard (update summary) |
+
+### Anti-Corruption Layer
+
+When receiving data from the ESP32 OTA status endpoint (`GET /ota/status`), the
+response format is owned by the firmware and may change across firmware versions.
+The ACL translates the raw JSON response into `Node` entity fields:
+
+```rust
+/// ACL: Translate ESP32 OTA status response to Node fields.
+fn translate_ota_status(raw: &serde_json::Value) -> Result<NodePatch, AclError> {
+    NodePatch {
+        firmware_version: raw["version"].as_str().map(SemVer::parse).transpose()?,
+        uptime_secs: raw["uptime_s"].as_u64(),
+        free_heap: raw["free_heap"].as_u64(),
+        // Firmware may add fields in future versions — unknown fields are ignored
+    }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Firmware Management Context
+
+**Purpose**: Flash, update, and verify firmware on ESP32 nodes.

+
+### Aggregates

+
+#### `OtaSession` (Aggregate Root)
+
+Represents an over-the-air firmware update to a running node.

+| `progress` | `Progress` | Upload progress |
+
+#### `BatchOtaSession` (Aggregate Root)
+
+Coordinates rolling firmware updates across multiple mesh nodes. Prevents all
+nodes from rebooting simultaneously, which would collapse the sensing network.
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `id` | `Uuid` | Batch session identifier |
+| `firmware` | `FirmwareBinary` | The binary being deployed |

+| `node_states` | `Map<MacAddress, BatchNodeState>` | Per-node progress |
+
+**Invariant**: In `TdmSafe` mode, adjacent TDM slots are never updated
+concurrently. Even-slot nodes update first, then odd-slot nodes.
+
+**Lifecycle**: `Planning → InProgress → Completed | PartialFailure | Aborted`
+
+- `BatchNodeState` — enum: `Queued`, `Uploading(Progress)`, `Rebooting`, `Verifying`, `Done`, `Failed(String)`, `Skipped`
+- `OtaStrategy` — enum:
+  - `Sequential` — one node at a time, wait for rejoin
+  - `TdmSafe` — update non-adjacent slots to maintain sensing coverage

+
+### Anti-Corruption Layer
+
+The `espflash` crate has its own error types and progress reporting model. The
+ACL translates these into domain events:
+
+```rust
+/// ACL: Translate espflash progress callbacks to domain FlashProgress events.
+impl From<espflash::ProgressCallbackMessage> for FlashProgress {
+    fn from(msg: espflash::ProgressCallbackMessage) -> Self {
+        match msg {

+                phase: FlashPhase::Erasing,
+                progress: Progress::new(addr as u64, total as u64),
+            },
+            // ... etc
+        }
+    }
+}
+```

+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+1. **Event Bus**: Domain events are dispatched via Tauri's event system
+   (`app_handle.emit("event-name", payload)`). The frontend subscribes using
+   `listen("event-name", callback)`. This provides natural cross-context
+   communication without coupling contexts directly.
+
+2. **State Isolation**: Each bounded context maintains its own `State<'_, T>`
+   managed by Tauri. Contexts do not share mutable state directly — they
+   communicate exclusively through events.
+
+3. **Module Organization**: Each bounded context maps to a Rust module under
+   `src/commands/` and `src/domain/`:
+
+   ```
+   src/
+     commands/           # Tauri command handlers (application layer)
+       discovery.rs      # Device Discovery context commands
+       flash.rs          # Firmware Management context commands
+       ota.rs            # Firmware Management context commands
+       provision.rs      # Configuration context commands
+       server.rs         # Sensing Pipeline context commands
+       wasm.rs           # Edge Module context commands
+     domain/             # Domain models (pure Rust, no Tauri dependency)
+       discovery/
+         mod.rs
+         node.rs         # Node entity, MacAddress VO
+         registry.rs     # NodeRegistry aggregate
+         events.rs       # Discovery domain events
+       firmware/
+         mod.rs
+         binary.rs       # FirmwareBinary entity
+         flash.rs        # FlashSession aggregate
+         ota.rs          # OtaSession aggregate
+         events.rs
+       config/
+         mod.rs
+         nvs.rs          # NodeConfig entity
+         mesh.rs         # MeshConfig entity
+         provision.rs    # ProvisioningSession aggregate
+         events.rs
+       sensing/
+         mod.rs
+         server.rs       # SensingServer aggregate
+         session.rs      # SensingSession entity
+         events.rs
+       wasm/
+         mod.rs
+         module.rs       # WasmModule entity
+         registry.rs     # ModuleRegistry aggregate
+         events.rs
+     acl/                # Anti-corruption layers
+       ota_status.rs     # ESP32 OTA status response translator
+       wasm_api.rs       # ESP32 WASM API response translator
+       espflash.rs       # espflash crate adapter
+   ```
+
+4. **Testing Strategy**: Domain modules under `src/domain/` have no Tauri
+   dependency and can be tested with standard `cargo test`. Command handlers
+   under `src/commands/` require Tauri test utilities for integration testing.
+
+5. **Shared Kernel**: The `MacAddress`, `SemVer`, and `SecureString` value objects
+   are shared across contexts. They live in a `src/domain/shared.rs` module.
+   This is acceptable because they are immutable value objects with no behavior
+   beyond validation and formatting.

+# ADR-052: Tauri Desktop Frontend — RuView Hardware Management & Visualization
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Status | Proposed |
+| Date | 2026-03-06 |
+| Deciders | ruv |
+| Depends on | ADR-012 (ESP32 CSI Mesh), ADR-039 (Edge Intelligence), ADR-040 (WASM Programmable Sensing), ADR-044 (Provisioning Enhancements), ADR-050 (Security Hardening), ADR-051 (Server Decomposition) |
+| Issue | [#177](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/issues/177) |
+
+## Context
+
+RuView currently requires users to interact with multiple disconnected tools to manage a WiFi DensePose deployment:
+
+| Task | Current Tool | Pain Point |
+|------|-------------|------------|
+| Flash firmware | `esptool.py` CLI | Requires Python, pip, correct chip/baud flags |
+| Provision NVS | `provision.py` CLI | 13+ flags, no GUI, no read-back |
+| OTA update | `curl POST :8032/ota` | Manual HTTP, PSK header construction |
+| WASM modules | `curl` to `:8032/wasm/*` | No visibility into module state |
+| Start sensing server | `cargo run` or binary | Manual port configuration, no log viewer |
+| View sensing data | Browser at `localhost:8080` | Separate window, no hardware context |
+| Mesh topology | Mental model | No visualization of TDM slots, sync, health |
+| Node discovery | Manual IP tracking | No mDNS/UDP broadcast discovery |
+
+There is no single tool that provides a unified view of the entire deployment — from ESP32 hardware through the sensing pipeline to pose visualization. Field operators deploying multi-node meshes must context-switch between terminals, browsers, and serial monitors.
+
+### Why a Desktop App
+
+A browser-based UI cannot access serial ports (for flashing), raw UDP sockets (for node discovery), or the local filesystem (for firmware binaries). A desktop application is required for hardware management. Tauri v2 is the natural choice because:
+
+1. **Rust backend** — integrates directly with the existing Rust workspace (`wifi-densepose-rs`). Crates like `wifi-densepose-hardware` (serial port parsing), `wifi-densepose-config`, and `wifi-densepose-sensing-server` can be linked as library dependencies.
+2. **Small binary** — Tauri bundles the system webview rather than shipping Chromium (~150 MB savings vs Electron).
+3. **Cross-platform** — Windows, macOS, Linux from the same codebase.
+4. **Security model** — Tauri's capability-based permissions system restricts frontend access to explicitly allowed Rust commands.
+
+### Why Not Electron / Flutter / Native
+
+| Option | Rejected Because |
+|--------|-----------------|
+| Electron | 150+ MB bundle, no Rust integration, duplicates webview |
+| Flutter | No serial port plugins, Dart FFI to Rust is awkward |
+| Native (GTK/Qt) | Platform-specific UI code, no web component reuse |
+| Web-only (PWA) | Cannot access serial ports or raw UDP |
+
+## Decision
+
+Build a Tauri v2 desktop application as a new crate in the Rust workspace. The frontend uses TypeScript with React and Vite. The Rust backend exposes Tauri commands that bridge the frontend to serial ports, UDP sockets, HTTP management endpoints, and the sensing server process.
+
+### 1. Workspace Integration

+
+### 2. Rust Backend — Tauri Commands
+
+#### 2.1 Node Discovery
+
+```rust
+// commands/discovery.rs
+
+/// Discover ESP32 CSI nodes on the local network.
+/// Strategy 1: mDNS — nodes announce _ruview._tcp service
+/// Strategy 2: UDP broadcast probe on port 5005 (CSI aggregator port)
+/// Strategy 3: HTTP health check sweep on port 8032 (OTA server)
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn discover_nodes(timeout_ms: u64) -> Result<Vec<DiscoveredNode>, String>;
+
+/// Get detailed status from a specific node via HTTP.
+/// Calls GET /ota/status on port 8032.
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn get_node_status(ip: String) -> Result<NodeStatus, String>;
+
+/// Subscribe to node health updates (periodic polling).
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn watch_nodes(interval_ms: u64, state: State<'_, AppState>) -> Result<(), String>;
+```
+
+The `DiscoveredNode` struct:
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Clone)]
+pub struct DiscoveredNode {
+    pub ip: String,
+    pub mac: Option<String>,
+    pub hostname: Option<String>,
+    pub node_id: u8,
+    pub firmware_version: Option<String>,
+    pub tdm_slot: Option<u8>,
+    pub tdm_total: Option<u8>,
+    pub edge_tier: Option<u8>,
+    pub uptime_secs: Option<u64>,
+    pub discovery_method: DiscoveryMethod, // Mdns | UdpProbe | HttpSweep
+    pub last_seen: chrono::DateTime<chrono::Utc>,
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.2 Firmware Flashing
+
+```rust
+// commands/flash.rs
+
+/// List available serial ports with chip detection.
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn list_serial_ports() -> Result<Vec<SerialPortInfo>, String>;
+
+/// Flash firmware binary to an ESP32 via serial port.
+/// Uses the `espflash` crate for Rust-native flashing (no Python dependency).
+/// Falls back to bundled esptool.py if espflash fails.
+/// Emits progress events via Tauri event system.
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn flash_firmware(
+    port: String,
+    firmware_path: String,
+    chip: Chip, // Esp32, Esp32s3, Esp32c3
+    baud: Option<u32>,
+    app_handle: AppHandle,
+) -> Result<FlashResult, String>;
+
+/// Read firmware info from a connected ESP32 (chip type, flash size, MAC).
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn read_chip_info(port: String) -> Result<ChipInfo, String>;
+```
+
+Flash progress is emitted as Tauri events:
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Serialize, Clone)]
+pub struct FlashProgress {
+    pub phase: FlashPhase,   // Connecting | Erasing | Writing | Verifying
+    pub progress_pct: f32,   // 0.0 - 100.0
+    pub bytes_written: u64,
+    pub bytes_total: u64,
+    pub speed_bps: u64,
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.3 OTA Updates
+
+```rust
+// commands/ota.rs
+
+/// Push firmware to a node via HTTP OTA (port 8032).
+/// Includes PSK authentication per ADR-050.
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn ota_update(
+    node_ip: String,
+    firmware_path: String,
+    psk: Option<String>,
+    app_handle: AppHandle,
+) -> Result<OtaResult, String>;
+
+/// Get OTA status from a node (current version, partition info).
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn ota_status(node_ip: String, psk: Option<String>) -> Result<OtaStatus, String>;
+
+/// Batch OTA update — push firmware to multiple nodes sequentially.
+/// Skips nodes already running the target version.
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn ota_batch_update(
+    nodes: Vec<String>, // IPs
+    firmware_path: String,
+    psk: Option<String>,
+    app_handle: AppHandle,
+) -> Result<Vec<OtaResult>, String>;
+```
+
+#### 2.4 WASM Module Management
+
+```rust
+// commands/wasm.rs
+
+/// List WASM modules loaded on a node.
+/// Calls GET /wasm/list on port 8032.
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn wasm_list(node_ip: String) -> Result<Vec<WasmModule>, String>;
+
+/// Upload a WASM module to a node.
+/// Calls POST /wasm/upload on port 8032 with binary payload.
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn wasm_upload(
+    node_ip: String,
+    wasm_path: String,
+    app_handle: AppHandle,
+) -> Result<WasmUploadResult, String>;
+
+/// Start/stop a WASM module on a node.
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn wasm_control(
+    node_ip: String,
+    module_id: String,
+    action: WasmAction, // Start | Stop | Unload
+) -> Result<(), String>;
+```
+
+#### 2.5 Sensing Server Lifecycle
+
+```rust
+// commands/server.rs
+
+/// Start the sensing server as a managed child process.
+/// The server binary is either bundled with the Tauri app (sidecar)
+/// or discovered on PATH.
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn start_server(
+    config: ServerConfig,
+    state: State<'_, AppState>,
+    app_handle: AppHandle,
+) -> Result<(), String>;
+
+/// Stop the managed sensing server process.
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn stop_server(state: State<'_, AppState>) -> Result<(), String>;
+
+/// Get sensing server status (running/stopped, PID, ports, uptime).
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn server_status(state: State<'_, AppState>) -> Result<ServerStatus, String>;
+
+#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Clone)]
+pub struct ServerConfig {
+    pub http_port: u16,       // Default: 8080
+    pub ws_port: u16,         // Default: 8765
+    pub udp_port: u16,        // Default: 5005
+    pub static_dir: Option<String>, // Path to UI static files
+    pub model_dir: Option<String>,  // Path to ML models
+    pub log_level: String,    // trace, debug, info, warn, error
+}
+```
+
+The sensing server is bundled as a Tauri sidecar binary. Tauri v2 supports sidecar binaries via `externalBin` in `tauri.conf.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "bundle": {
+    "externalBin": ["sensing-server"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.6 NVS Provisioning
+
+```rust
+// commands/provision.rs
+
+/// Provision NVS configuration to an ESP32 via serial port.
+/// Replaces the Python provision.py script with a Rust-native implementation.
+/// Generates NVS partition binary and flashes it to the NVS partition offset.
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn provision_node(
+    port: String,
+    config: NvsConfig,
+    app_handle: AppHandle,
+) -> Result<ProvisionResult, String>;
+
+/// Read current NVS configuration from a connected ESP32.
+/// Reads the NVS partition and parses key-value pairs.
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn read_nvs(port: String) -> Result<NvsConfig, String>;
+
+#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Clone)]
+pub struct NvsConfig {
+    pub wifi_ssid: Option<String>,
+    pub wifi_password: Option<String>,
+    pub target_ip: Option<String>,
+    pub target_port: Option<u16>,
+    pub node_id: Option<u8>,
+    pub tdm_slot: Option<u8>,
+    pub tdm_total: Option<u8>,
+    pub edge_tier: Option<u8>,
+    pub presence_thresh: Option<u16>,
+    pub fall_thresh: Option<u16>,
+    pub vital_window: Option<u16>,
+    pub vital_interval_ms: Option<u16>,
+    pub top_k_count: Option<u8>,
+    pub hop_count: Option<u8>,
+    pub channel_list: Option<Vec<u8>>,
+    pub dwell_ms: Option<u32>,
+    pub power_duty: Option<u8>,
+    pub wasm_max_modules: Option<u8>,
+    pub wasm_verify: Option<bool>,
+    pub wasm_pubkey: Option<Vec<u8>>,
+    pub ota_psk: Option<String>,
+}
+```

+  [M] Mesh — topology visualization
+  [T] Settings — ports, paths, preferences
+```
+
+#### 3.3 Dashboard Page
+
+The dashboard is the primary landing page showing:
+
+1. **Node Grid** — cards for each discovered ESP32 node showing:
+   - IP address and hostname
+   - Firmware version (with update indicator if newer available)
+   - Node ID and TDM slot assignment
+   - Edge processing tier (raw / stats / vitals)
+   - Signal quality indicator (last CSI frame age)
+   - Health status (online/offline/degraded)
+   - Quick actions: OTA update, configure, view logs
+
+2. **Sensing Server Panel** — start/stop button, port configuration, log tail
+
+3. **Discovery Controls** — scan button, auto-discovery toggle, network range filter
+
+#### 3.4 Flash Firmware Page
+
+A wizard-style flow:
+
+1. **Select Port** — dropdown of detected serial ports with chip info
+2. **Select Firmware** — file picker for `.bin` files, or select from bundled builds
+3. **Configure** — chip type, baud rate, flash mode
+4. **Flash** — progress bar with phase indicators (connecting, erasing, writing, verifying)
+5. **Provision** — optional NVS provisioning form (WiFi, target IP, TDM, edge tier)
+6. **Verify** — serial monitor showing boot log, success/fail indicator
+
+#### 3.5 WASM Module Manager Page
+
+| Column | Content |
+|--------|---------|
+| Module ID | Auto-assigned by node |
+| Name | Filename of uploaded `.wasm` |
+| Size | Module size in KB |
+| Status | Running / Stopped / Error |
+| Node | Which ESP32 node it runs on |
+| Actions | Start / Stop / Unload / View Logs |
+
+Upload panel: drag-and-drop `.wasm` file, select target node(s), upload button.
+
+#### 3.6 Sensing View Page
+
+Embeds the existing web UI (`ui/`) via an iframe pointing at the sensing server's static file route, or builds native React components that connect to the same WebSocket API. The native approach is preferred because it allows:
+
+- Tighter integration with the node status sidebar
+- Shared state between hardware management and visualization
+- Offline access to recorded data
+
+Key visualization components:
+- **CSI Heatmap** — subcarrier amplitude over time
+- **Signal Field** — 2D signal strength visualization
+- **Pose Skeleton** — detected body keypoints and connections
+- **Vital Signs** — real-time breathing rate and heart rate charts
+- **Activity Classification** — current activity label with confidence
+
+#### 3.7 Mesh Topology Page
+
+A force-directed graph showing:
+- Nodes as circles (color = health status, size = edge tier)
+- Edges between nodes that can see each other
+- TDM slot labels on each node
+- Sync status indicators (in-sync / drifting / lost)
+- Click a node to navigate to its detail page
+
+### 4. Platform-Specific Considerations
+
+#### 4.1 macOS
+
+- **Serial driver signing**: CP210x and CH340 drivers require user approval in System Preferences > Security
+- **App signing**: Tauri apps must be signed and notarized for distribution outside the App Store
+- **USB permissions**: No special permissions needed beyond driver installation
+- **CoreWLAN**: The sensing server can use CoreWLAN for WiFi scanning (ADR-025); the desktop app inherits this capability
+
+#### 4.2 Windows
+
+- **COM port access**: Windows assigns COM port numbers; the app lists them via the Windows Registry or `SetupDi` API
+- **Driver installation**: USB-to-serial drivers (CP210x, CH340, FTDI) must be installed; the app can detect missing drivers and link to downloads
+- **Firewall**: The sensing server's UDP listener may trigger Windows Firewall prompts; the app should pre-configure rules or guide the user
+- **Code signing**: EV certificate required for SmartScreen trust; unsigned apps trigger warnings
+
+#### 4.3 Linux
+
+- **udev rules**: ESP32 serial ports (`/dev/ttyUSB*`, `/dev/ttyACM*`) require udev rules for non-root access. The app bundles a `99-ruview-esp32.rules` file and offers to install it:
+  ```
+  SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="10c4", MODE="0666"  # CP210x
+  SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1a86", MODE="0666"  # CH340
+  ```
+- **AppImage/deb/rpm**: Tauri supports all three packaging formats
+- **Wayland vs X11**: Tauri uses webkit2gtk which works on both
+

+
+### 8. Development Workflow
+
+```bash
+# Prerequisites
+cargo install tauri-cli@^2
+cd rust-port/wifi-densepose-rs/crates/wifi-densepose-desktop/frontend
+npm install
+
+# Development (hot-reload frontend + Rust rebuild)
+cd rust-port/wifi-densepose-rs/crates/wifi-densepose-desktop
+cargo tauri dev
+
+# Production build
+cargo tauri build
+
+# Build sensing-server sidecar (must be done before tauri build)
+cargo build --release -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server
+# Copy to sidecar location:
+# target/release/sensing-server -> crates/wifi-densepose-desktop/binaries/sensing-server-{arch}
+```
+
+### 9. Persistent Node Registry
+
+Discovery alone is transient — nodes appear when they broadcast, disappear when they don't. A persistent local registry transforms discovery into **reconciliation**.
+
+```
+~/.ruview/nodes.db   (SQLite via rusqlite)
+```
+
+**Schema:**
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE nodes (
+    mac         TEXT PRIMARY KEY,        -- e.g. "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF"
+    last_ip     TEXT,                    -- last known IP
+    last_seen   INTEGER NOT NULL,        -- Unix timestamp
+    firmware    TEXT,                    -- e.g. "0.3.1"
+    chip        TEXT DEFAULT 'esp32s3',  -- esp32, esp32s3, esp32c3
+    mesh_role   TEXT DEFAULT 'node',     -- 'coordinator' | 'node' | 'aggregator'
+    tdm_slot    INTEGER,                -- assigned TDM slot index
+    capabilities TEXT,                  -- JSON: {"wasm": true, "ota": true, "csi": true}
+    friendly_name TEXT,                 -- user-assigned label
+    notes       TEXT                    -- free-form notes
+);
+```
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+- On discovery broadcast, upsert into registry (update `last_ip`, `last_seen`, `firmware`)
+- Dashboard shows **all registered nodes**, dimming those not seen recently
+- User can manually add nodes by MAC/IP (for networks without mDNS)
+- Export/import registry as JSON for fleet management across machines
+- Node health history (uptime, last OTA, error count) tracked over time
+
+This means the desktop app **remembers the mesh** across restarts, which is critical for field deployments where nodes may be offline temporarily.
+
+### 10. OTA Safety Gate — Rolling Updates
+
+Mesh deployments cannot tolerate all nodes rebooting simultaneously. The OTA subsystem includes a **rolling update mode** that preserves sensing continuity:
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct BatchOtaConfig {
+    /// Update strategy
+    pub strategy: OtaStrategy,
+    /// Max nodes updating concurrently
+    pub max_concurrent: usize,
+    /// Delay between batches (seconds)
+    pub batch_delay_secs: u64,
+    /// Abort if any node fails
+    pub fail_fast: bool,
+}
+
+#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub enum OtaStrategy {
+    /// Update one node at a time, wait for it to rejoin mesh
+    Sequential,
+    /// Update non-adjacent TDM slots to maintain coverage
+    TdmSafe,
+    /// Update all nodes simultaneously (development only)
+    Parallel,
+}
+```
+
+**`TdmSafe` strategy:**
+
+1. Sort nodes by TDM slot index
+2. Update even-slot nodes first (slots 0, 2, 4...)
+3. Wait for each to reboot and rejoin mesh (verified via beacon)
+4. Then update odd-slot nodes (slots 1, 3, 5...)
+5. At no point are adjacent nodes offline simultaneously
+
+**UI flow:**
+
+- User selects target firmware + target nodes
+- App shows pre-update diff (current vs new version per node)
+- Progress bar per node with states: `queued → uploading → rebooting → verifying → done`
+- Abort button halts remaining updates without rolling back completed ones
+- Post-update health check confirms all nodes are sensing
+
+### 11. Plugin Architecture (Future)
+
+This desktop tool is quietly becoming the **control plane for RuView**. Once it manages discovery, firmware, OTA, WASM, sensing, and mesh topology, plugin extensibility becomes inevitable:
+
+- **Firmware management** today → **swarm orchestration** tomorrow
+- **WASM upload** today → **edge module marketplace** tomorrow
+- **Sensing view** today → **activity classification dashboard** tomorrow
+
+The Tauri command surface should be designed with this trajectory in mind:
+
+- Commands are grouped by bounded context (already done)
+- Each context can be extended by loading additional Tauri plugins
+- The node registry becomes the source of truth for all plugins
+- Event bus (Tauri's `emit`/`listen`) provides cross-plugin communication
+
+This does NOT mean building a plugin system in Phase 1. It means keeping the architecture open to it: no hardcoded views, state flows through the registry, commands are typed and versioned.
+
+### 12. Security Considerations
+
+1. **PSK Storage**: OTA PSK tokens are stored in the OS keychain via `tauri-plugin-stronghold` or the platform's native credential store, never in plaintext config files.
+
+2. **Serial Port Access**: Tauri's capability system restricts which commands the frontend can invoke. Serial port access is only available through the typed `flash_firmware` and `provision_node` commands, not raw serial I/O.
+
+3. **Network Requests**: OTA and WASM management commands only communicate with nodes on the local network. The app does not make external network requests except for update checks (opt-in).
+
+4. **Firmware Validation**: Before flashing, the app validates the firmware binary header (ESP32 image magic bytes, partition table offset) to prevent bricking.
+
+5. **WASM Signature Verification**: The desktop app can sign WASM modules before upload using a locally stored Ed25519 key pair, complementing the node-side verification (ADR-040).
+
+### 13. Implementation Phases
+
+| Phase | Scope | Effort | Priority |
+|-------|-------|--------|----------|
+| **Phase 1: Skeleton** | Tauri project scaffolding, workspace integration, basic window with React | 1 week | P0 |
+| **Phase 2: Discovery** | Serial port listing, UDP/mDNS node discovery, dashboard with node cards | 1 week | P0 |
+| **Phase 3: Flash** | espflash integration, firmware flashing wizard with progress events | 1 week | P0 |
+| **Phase 4: Server** | Sidecar sensing server start/stop, log viewer, status panel | 1 week | P1 |
+| **Phase 5: OTA** | HTTP OTA with PSK auth, batch update, version comparison | 1 week | P1 |
+| **Phase 6: Provisioning** | NVS read/write via serial, provisioning form, mesh config file | 1 week | P1 |
+| **Phase 7: WASM** | Module upload/list/start/stop, drag-and-drop, per-module logs | 1 week | P2 |
+| **Phase 8: Sensing** | WebSocket integration, live signal charts, pose overlay | 2 weeks | P2 |
+| **Phase 9: Mesh View** | Force-directed topology graph, TDM slot visualization, sync status | 1 week | P2 |
+| **Phase 10: Polish** | App signing, auto-update, udev rules installer, onboarding wizard | 1 week | P3 |
+
+Total estimated effort: ~11 weeks for a single developer.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- **Single pane of glass** — all hardware management, sensing, and visualization in one app
+- **No Python dependency** — Rust-native `espflash` replaces `esptool.py` for firmware flashing
+- **Replaces 6+ CLI tools** — flash, provision, OTA, WASM management, server control, visualization
+- **Accessible to non-developers** — GUI replaces CLI flags and curl commands
+- **Cross-platform** — one codebase for Windows, macOS, Linux
+- **Workspace integration** — shares types, config, and hardware crates with sensing server
+- **Small binary** — ~15-20 MB vs ~150 MB for Electron equivalent
+
+### Negative
+
+- **New frontend dependency** — introduces Node.js/npm build step into the Rust workspace
+- **Tauri version churn** — Tauri v2 is recent; API stability is not yet proven at scale
+- **webkit2gtk on Linux** — depends on system webview version; old distros may have stale webkit
+- **espflash limitations** — the `espflash` crate may not support all chip variants or flash modes that `esptool.py` handles; fallback to bundled Python is needed
+- **Maintenance surface** — adds ~5,000 lines of TypeScript and ~2,000 lines of Rust
+
+### Risks
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|--------|------------|
+| espflash cannot flash all ESP32 variants | Medium | High | Bundle esptool.py as fallback sidecar |
+| Tauri v2 breaking changes | Low | Medium | Pin to specific Tauri version; update in dedicated PRs |
+| Serial port access fails on macOS Sequoia+ | Medium | Medium | Test on latest macOS; document driver requirements |
+| webkit2gtk version mismatch on Linux | Medium | Low | Set minimum version in deb/rpm dependencies |
+| Sidecar sensing server fails to start | Low | Medium | Detect failure and show manual start instructions |

+# ADR-053: UI Design System — Dark Professional + Unity-Inspired Interface
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Status | Accepted |
+| Date | 2026-03-06 |
+| Deciders | ruv |
+| Depends on | ADR-052 (Tauri Desktop Frontend) |
+
+## Context
+
+RuView Desktop (ADR-052) needs a UI design system that communicates precision and control — befitting a hardware management control plane for embedded sensing infrastructure. The interface must handle dense data (CSI heatmaps, node registries, log streams, mesh topologies) without feeling overwhelming, while remaining usable by both engineers and field operators.
+
+Two design inspirations:
+
+1. **Data-first professional tools** — Dense information displays where data speaks for itself. Clean typography, structured layouts, and deliberate use of color for status. The interface shows what matters and hides what doesn't. Think: network monitoring dashboards, embedded systems IDEs, infrastructure control panels.
+
+2. **Unity Editor** — Dockable panel system, inspector/hierarchy/scene separation, property grids, dark professional theme, and dense-but-organized data display. Unity's UI is purpose-built for managing complex real-time systems — exactly what RuView needs.
+
+The combination yields a professional control panel for WiFi sensing infrastructure. Data is organized into scannable panels with clear hierarchy. Status is communicated through consistent color coding. The layout adapts from high-level overview down to individual node details through progressive disclosure.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Design Principles
+
+1. **Data is the interface** — The system reveals patterns through visualization, not through explanation. Every pixel earns its place.
+2. **Precision typography** — Typography is clean and authoritative. Technical values are displayed without ambiguity. Labels are concise.
+3. **Panel-based layout** — Dockable regions inspired by Unity's panel system. The operator can see the entire mesh at a glance, then drill into any node.
+4. **Status through color** — Deliberate color coding: green (online), amber (degraded), red (offline/failed), blue (scanning/new). No gratuitous color.
+5. **Progressive disclosure** — Dashboard shows the overview. Clicking a node reveals its details. Summary first, detail on interaction.
+6. **Dual typography** — Monospace for all technical values (MAC addresses, firmware versions, CSI amplitudes). Sans-serif for labels and descriptions. The contrast signals "data vs. context."
+7. **Powered by rUv** — Subtle branding: footer tagline, about dialog, splash screen.

+### Layout System
+
+Three-region layout: navigation sidebar, node list, and detail inspector. Unity's docking system provides the mechanical framework.

+
+**Panel behaviors:**
+- Sidebar collapses to icon-only on narrow windows
+- Node List / Inspector split is resizable via drag handle
+- Inspector scrolls independently — drill into any node without losing the list
+- Status Bar shows global system state at a glance (node count, server status, port)

+#### 1. NodeCard
+
+```

++-----------------------------------------------------------+
+```
+
+Status dot uses `--status-online/warning/error`. Card background shifts on hover.
+
+#### 2. FlashProgress
+
+```
++-- Flash Progress -----------------------------------------+
+|  Flashing firmware to COM3 (ESP32-S3)                     |

++-----------------------------------------------------------+
+```
+
+Progress bar uses `--accent` fill with subtle pulse animation during active writes.
+
+#### 3. Mesh Topology View (Three.js)
+
+Interactive 3D visualization of the sensing network. Each node is a sphere. Edges are lines representing signal paths. The coordinator node is visually distinct (larger, outlined ring). Built with **Three.js**, consistent with the existing visualization stack in `ui/observatory/js/` and `ui/components/`.
+
+```
++-- Mesh Topology ------------------------------------------+

+|  Drift: ±0.3ms  |  Cycle: 50ms  |  4/4 nodes online     |
++-----------------------------------------------------------+
+```
+
+**Three.js implementation details:**
+- Force-directed layout computed on CPU, rendered as `THREE.Group` with `THREE.Mesh` (spheres) and `THREE.Line` (edges)
+- Node spheres use `THREE.MeshPhongMaterial` with emissive color matching `--status-online/warning/error`
+- Edge lines use `THREE.LineBasicMaterial` with opacity mapped to signal strength
+- Coordinator node rendered with `THREE.RingGeometry` outline
+- Camera: `OrbitControls` for pan/zoom/rotate, reset button returns to default view
+- Follows existing patterns: `BufferGeometry` + `BufferAttribute` for dynamic updates (see `ui/observatory/js/subcarrier-manifold.js`)
+- Raycasting for node click → opens detail in Inspector panel
+- Real-time updates as nodes join, leave, or change status — geometry attributes updated per frame

++-----------------------------------------------------------+
+```
+
+Monospace, color-coded by log level (INFO=text, WARN=amber, ERROR=red). Virtual scrolling for performance.
+
+### Spacing and Grid
+
+```css
+/* 4px base grid */
+--space-1: 4px;    /* Tight spacing (within components) */
+--space-2: 8px;    /* Component internal padding */
+--space-3: 12px;   /* Between related elements */
+--space-4: 16px;   /* Card padding, section gaps */
+--space-5: 24px;   /* Between sections */
+--space-6: 32px;   /* Page-level spacing */
+--space-8: 48px;   /* Major section breaks */
+
+/* Panel dimensions */
+--sidebar-width: 220px;
+--sidebar-collapsed: 52px;
+--statusbar-height: 28px;
+--toolbar-height: 44px;
+```
+
+### Animations
+
+Minimal and purposeful:
+- Panel collapse/expand: 200ms ease-out
+- Node card health transition: 300ms (color fade, not flash)
+- Progress bar fill: smooth 60fps CSS transition
+- Mesh graph: Three.js render loop at 60fps, force simulation on requestAnimationFrame
+- No loading spinners — use skeleton placeholders instead
+
+### Branding
+
+- **Splash screen**: rUv logo + "RuView Desktop" + version, 1.5s duration
+- **Status bar**: "Powered by rUv" in `--text-muted`, left-aligned
+- **About dialog**: rUv logo, version, license, links to GitHub and docs
+- **App icon**: Stylized WiFi signal + human silhouette in rUv purple (#7c3aed)
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- Professional, data-dense UI suitable for hardware management
+- Consistent design language across all 7 pages
+- Dual typography (mono + sans-serif) ensures readability at all information densities
+- Unity-inspired panels feel natural to engineers familiar with IDE/editor tools
+- Dark theme reduces eye strain for extended monitoring sessions
+
+### Negative
+
+- Custom design system means no off-the-shelf component library (shadcn/ui partially usable)
+- Dockable panels add complexity to the layout system
+- Dark-only theme may not suit all users (could add light mode later)
+
+### Neutral
+
+- The design system is CSS-only with React components — no heavy UI framework dependency
+- Component library can be extracted as a separate package if other rUv projects need it

+# ADR-054: RuView Desktop Full Implementation
+
+## Status
+**Accepted** — Implementation in progress
+
+## Context
+
+RuView Desktop v0.3.0 shipped with a complete React/TypeScript frontend but stub-only Rust backend commands. Users report:
+- Settings cannot be saved (#206) ✅ Fixed in PR #209
+- Flash firmware does nothing
+- OTA updates are non-functional
+- Node discovery returns hardcoded data
+- Server start/stop is cosmetic only
+
+This ADR defines the complete implementation plan to make all desktop features production-ready with proper security, optimization, and error handling.
+
+## Decision
+
+Implement all 14 Tauri commands with full functionality, security hardening, and performance optimization.

+    })
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Security Hardening
+
+### 3.1 Input Validation
+
+```rust
+// All string inputs sanitized
+fn validate_ip(ip: &str) -> Result<IpAddr, String> {
+    ip.parse::<IpAddr>().map_err(|_| "Invalid IP address".into())
+}
+
+fn validate_port(port: u16) -> Result<(), String> {
+    if port < 1024 && port != 0 {
+        return Err("Privileged ports (1-1023) not allowed".into());
+    }
+    Ok(())
+}
+
+fn validate_path(path: &str) -> Result<PathBuf, String> {
+    let path = PathBuf::from(path);
+    if path.components().any(|c| c == std::path::Component::ParentDir) {
+        return Err("Path traversal detected".into());
+    }
+    Ok(path)
+}
+```
+
+### 3.2 Network Security
+
+```rust
+// OTA PSK validation
+fn validate_psk(psk: &str) -> Result<(), String> {
+    if psk.len() < 16 {
+        return Err("PSK must be at least 16 characters".into());
+    }
+    if !psk.chars().all(|c| c.is_ascii_alphanumeric() || c == '-' || c == '_') {
+        return Err("PSK contains invalid characters".into());
+    }
+    Ok(())
+}
+
+// Rate limiting for network operations
+struct RateLimiter {
+    last_request: Instant,
+    min_interval: Duration,
+}
+
+impl RateLimiter {
+    fn check(&mut self) -> Result<(), String> {
+        if self.last_request.elapsed() < self.min_interval {
+            return Err("Rate limit exceeded".into());
+        }
+        self.last_request = Instant::now();
+        Ok(())
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 3.3 Binary Validation
+
+```rust
+fn validate_esp_binary(data: &[u8]) -> Result<(), String> {
+    // Check ESP binary magic (0xE9 at offset 0)
+    if data.is_empty() || data[0] != 0xE9 {
+        return Err("Invalid ESP firmware magic byte".into());
+    }
+
+    // Check minimum size (header + some code)
+    if data.len() < 256 {
+        return Err("Firmware too small".into());
+    }
+
+    // Check maximum size (4MB flash)
+    if data.len() > 4 * 1024 * 1024 {
+        return Err("Firmware exceeds flash size".into());
+    }
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Performance Optimization
+
+### 4.1 Async Everything
+
+All I/O operations are async with proper timeouts:
+
+```rust
+// Timeout wrapper
+async fn with_timeout<T, F: Future<Output = Result<T, String>>>(
+    future: F,
+    duration: Duration,
+) -> Result<T, String> {
+    tokio::time::timeout(duration, future)
+        .await
+        .map_err(|_| "Operation timed out".into())?
+}
+```
+
+### 4.2 Connection Pooling
+
+```rust
+// Reusable HTTP client
+lazy_static! {
+    static ref HTTP_CLIENT: reqwest::Client = reqwest::Client::builder()
+        .pool_max_idle_per_host(5)
+        .pool_idle_timeout(Duration::from_secs(30))
+        .build()
+        .unwrap();
+}
+```
+
+### 4.3 Streaming Progress
+
+Flash and OTA operations stream progress via Tauri events:
+
+```rust
+// Real-time progress updates
+app.emit("flash_progress", FlashProgress { ... })?;
+app.emit("ota_progress", OtaProgress { ... })?;
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Testing Strategy
+
+### 5.1 Unit Tests
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod tests {
+    #[test]
+    fn test_validate_ip() {
+        assert!(validate_ip("192.168.1.1").is_ok());
+        assert!(validate_ip("invalid").is_err());
+    }
+
+    #[test]
+    fn test_validate_esp_binary() {
+        let valid = vec![0xE9; 1024];
+        assert!(validate_esp_binary(&valid).is_ok());
+
+        let invalid = vec![0x00; 1024];
+        assert!(validate_esp_binary(&invalid).is_err());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 5.2 Integration Tests
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn test_discover_nodes_timeout() {
+    let result = discover_nodes(Some(100)).await;
+    assert!(result.is_ok());
+    // Should return empty or cached results within timeout
+}
+```
+
+### 5.3 Mock Testing
+
+```rust
+// Mock serial port for flash tests
+struct MockSerial {
+    responses: VecDeque<Vec<u8>>,
+}
+
+impl Read for MockSerial { ... }
+impl Write for MockSerial { ... }
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Dependencies Update
+
+**Cargo.toml additions:**
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+# Discovery
+mdns-sd = "0.11"
+serialport = "4.6"
+
+# HTTP client
+reqwest = { version = "0.12", features = ["json", "multipart", "rustls-tls"] }

+
+# Async
+tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
+futures = "0.3"
+
+# Flash
+espflash = "4.0"
+```
+

+# ADR-055: Integrated Sensing Server in Desktop App
+
+## Status
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+The RuView Desktop application (ADR-054) requires the WiFi sensing server to provide real-time CSI data, activity detection, and vital signs monitoring. Currently, the sensing server is a separate binary (`wifi-densepose-sensing-server`) that must be installed separately and found in the system PATH.
+
+This creates several problems:
+1. **Distribution complexity**: Users must install two binaries
+2. **Path issues**: Binary may not be in PATH, causing "No such file or directory" errors
+3. **Version mismatch**: Server and desktop app versions may diverge
+4. **Poor UX**: Error messages about missing binaries confuse users
+
+## Decision
+Bundle the sensing server binary inside the desktop application and provide intelligent binary discovery with clear fallback paths.
+
+### Binary Discovery Order
+The desktop app searches for the sensing server in this order:
+1. **Custom path** from user settings (`server_path`)
+2. **Bundled resources** (`Contents/Resources/bin/` on macOS)
+3. **Next to executable** (same directory as the app binary)
+4. **System PATH** (legacy fallback)
+
+### Implementation
+```rust
+fn find_server_binary(app: &AppHandle, custom_path: Option<&str>) -> Result<String, String> {
+    // 1. Custom path from settings
+    if let Some(path) = custom_path {
+        if std::path::Path::new(path).exists() {
+            return Ok(path.to_string());
+        }
+    }
+
+    // 2. Bundled in resources
+    if let Ok(resource_dir) = app.path().resource_dir() {
+        let bundled = resource_dir.join("bin").join(DEFAULT_SERVER_BIN);
+        if bundled.exists() {
+            return Ok(bundled.to_string_lossy().to_string());
+        }
+    }
+
+    // 3. Next to executable
+    if let Ok(exe_path) = std::env::current_exe() {
+        if let Some(exe_dir) = exe_path.parent() {
+            let sibling = exe_dir.join(DEFAULT_SERVER_BIN);
+            if sibling.exists() {
+                return Ok(sibling.to_string_lossy().to_string());
+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+    // 4. System PATH
+    // ... which lookup ...
+
+    Err("Sensing server binary not found")
+}
+```
+
+### Bundle Configuration
+In `tauri.conf.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "bundle": {
+    "resources": [
+      {
+        "src": "../../target/release/wifi-densepose-sensing-server",
+        "target": "bin/wifi-densepose-sensing-server"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- **Single package distribution**: Users download one DMG/MSI/EXE
+- **Version alignment**: Server and UI always match
+- **Better UX**: No PATH configuration required
+- **Offline capable**: Works without network access to download server
+
+### Negative
+- **Larger bundle size**: ~10-15MB additional for server binary
+- **Build complexity**: Must build server before bundling desktop
+- **Platform-specific**: Need separate server binaries per platform
+
+### Neutral
+- CI/CD workflow updated to build server before desktop
+- GitHub Actions builds all platforms (macOS arm64/x64, Windows x64)
+
+## WebSocket Integration
+The Sensing page connects to the bundled server's WebSocket endpoint:
+- `ws://127.0.0.1:{ws_port}/ws/sensing` - Real-time CSI data stream
+- `ws://127.0.0.1:{ws_port}/ws/pose` - Pose estimation stream
+
+Message format:
+```typescript
+interface WsSensingUpdate {
+  type: string;
+  timestamp: number;
+  source: string;
+  tick: number;
+  nodes: WsNodeInfo[];
+  classification: { motion_level: string; presence: boolean; confidence: number };
+  vital_signs?: { breathing_rate_hz?: number; heart_rate_bpm?: number };
+}
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+- Server binary signed with same certificate as desktop app
+- Communication over localhost only (127.0.0.1)
+- No external network access by default
+- Process spawned as child of desktop app (inherits permissions)

+# ADR-057: Firmware CSI Build Guard and sdkconfig.defaults
+
+| Field       | Value                                       |
+|-------------|---------------------------------------------|
+| **Status**  | Accepted                                    |
+| **Date**    | 2026-03-12                                  |
+| **Authors** | ruv                                         |
+| **Issues**  | #223, #238, #234, #210, #190                |
+
+## Context
+
+Multiple GitHub issues (#223, #238, #234, #210, #190) report firmware problems
+that fall into two categories:
+
+1. **CSI not enabled at runtime** — The committed `sdkconfig` had
+   `# CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_CSI_ENABLED is not set` (line 1135), meaning users who
+   built from source or used pre-built binaries got the runtime error:
+   `E (6700) wifi:CSI not enabled in menuconfig!`
+
+   Root cause: `sdkconfig.defaults.template` existed with the correct setting
+   (`CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_CSI_ENABLED=y`) but ESP-IDF only reads
+   `sdkconfig.defaults` — not `.template` suffixed files. No `sdkconfig.defaults`
+   file was committed.
+
+2. **Unsupported ESP32 variants** — Users attempting to use original ESP32
+   (D0WD) and ESP32-C3 boards. The firmware targets ESP32-S3 only
+   (`CONFIG_IDF_TARGET="esp32s3"`, Xtensa architecture) and this was not
+   surfaced clearly enough in documentation or build errors.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Fix 1: Commit `sdkconfig.defaults` (not just template)
+
+Copy `sdkconfig.defaults.template` → `sdkconfig.defaults` so that ESP-IDF
+applies the correct defaults (including `CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_CSI_ENABLED=y`)
+automatically when `sdkconfig` is regenerated.
+
+### Fix 2: `#error` compile-time guard in `csi_collector.c`
+
+Add a preprocessor guard:
+
+```c
+#ifndef CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_CSI_ENABLED
+#error "CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_CSI_ENABLED must be set in sdkconfig."
+#endif
+```
+
+This turns a confusing runtime crash into a clear compile-time error with
+instructions on how to fix it.
+
+### Fix 3: Fix committed `sdkconfig`
+
+Change line 1135 from `# CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_CSI_ENABLED is not set` to
+`CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_CSI_ENABLED=y`.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **Positive**: New builds will always have CSI enabled. Users building from
+  source will get a clear compile error if CSI is somehow disabled.
+- **Positive**: Pre-built release binaries will include CSI support.
+- **Neutral**: Original ESP32 and ESP32-C3 remain unsupported. This is by
+  design — only ESP32-S3 has the CSI API surface we depend on. Future ADRs
+  may address multi-target support if demand warrants it.
+- **Negative**: None identified.
+
+## Hardware Support Matrix
+
+| Variant      | CSI Support | Firmware Target | Status        |
+|--------------|-------------|-----------------|---------------|
+| ESP32-S3     | Yes         | Yes             | Supported     |
+| ESP32 (orig) | Partial     | No              | Unsupported   |
+| ESP32-C3     | Yes (IDF 5.1+) | No           | Unsupported   |
+| ESP32-C6     | Yes         | No              | Unsupported   |
+
+## Notes
+
+- ESP32-C3 and C6 use RISC-V architecture; a separate build target
+  (`idf.py set-target esp32c3`) would be needed.
+- Original ESP32 has limited CSI (no STBC HT-LTF2, fewer subcarriers).
+- Users on unsupported hardware can still write custom firmware using the
+  ADR-018 binary frame format (magic `0xC5110001`) for interop with the
+  Rust aggregator.

+# ADR-058: Dual-Modal WASM Browser Pose Estimation — Live Video + WiFi CSI Fusion
+
+- **Status**: Proposed
+- **Date**: 2026-03-12
+- **Deciders**: ruv
+- **Tags**: wasm, browser, cnn, pose-estimation, ruvector, video, multimodal, fusion
+
+## Context
+
+WiFi-DensePose estimates human poses from WiFi CSI (Channel State Information).
+The `ruvector-cnn` crate provides a pure Rust CNN (MobileNet-V3) with WASM bindings.
+Both modalities exist independently — what's missing is **fusing live webcam video
+with WiFi CSI** in a single browser demo to achieve robust pose estimation that
+works even when one modality degrades (occlusion, signal noise, poor lighting).
+
+Existing assets:
+
+1. **`wifi-densepose-wasm`** — CSI signal processing compiled to WASM
+2. **`wifi-densepose-sensing-server`** — Axum server streaming live CSI via WebSocket
+3. **`ruvector-cnn`** — Pure Rust CNN with MobileNet-V3 backbones, SIMD, contrastive learning
+4. **`ruvector-cnn-wasm`** — wasm-bindgen bindings: `WasmCnnEmbedder`, `SimdOps`, `LayerOps`, contrastive losses
+5. **`vendor/ruvector/examples/wasm-vanilla/`** — Reference vanilla JS WASM example
+
+Research shows multi-modal fusion (camera + WiFi) significantly outperforms either alone:
+- Camera fails under occlusion, poor lighting, privacy constraints
+- WiFi CSI fails with signal noise, multipath, low spatial resolution
+- Fusion compensates: WiFi provides through-wall coverage, camera provides fine-grained detail
+
+## Decision
+
+Build a **dual-modal browser demo** at `examples/wasm-browser-pose/` that:
+
+1. Captures **live webcam video** via `getUserMedia` API
+2. Receives **live WiFi CSI** via WebSocket from the sensing server
+3. Processes **both streams** through separate CNN pipelines in `ruvector-cnn-wasm`
+4. **Fuses embeddings** with learned attention weights for combined pose estimation
+5. Renders **video overlay** with skeleton + WiFi confidence heatmap on Canvas
+6. Runs entirely in the browser — all inference client-side via WASM
+

+
+### Dual Pipeline Design
+
+Two parallel CNN pipelines run on each frame tick (~30 FPS):
+
+| Pipeline | Input | Preprocessing | CNN Config | Output |
+|----------|-------|---------------|------------|--------|
+| **Visual** | Webcam frame (640×480) | Resize to 224×224 RGB, ImageNet normalize | MobileNet-V3 Small, 512-dim | Visual embedding |
+| **CSI** | CSI frame (ADR-018 binary) | Amplitude/phase/delta → 224×224 pseudo-RGB | MobileNet-V3 Small, 512-dim | CSI embedding |
+
+Both use the same `WasmCnnEmbedder` but with separate instances and weight sets.
+
+### Fusion Strategy
+
+**Learned attention-weighted fusion** combines the two 512-dim embeddings:
+
+```javascript
+// Attention fusion: learn which modality to trust per-dimension
+// α ∈ [0,1]^512 — attention weights (shipped as JSON, trained offline)
+// visual_emb, csi_emb ∈ R^512
+
+function fuseEmbeddings(visual_emb, csi_emb, attention_weights) {
+    const fused = new Float32Array(512);
+    for (let i = 0; i < 512; i++) {
+        const α = attention_weights[i];
+        fused[i] = α * visual_emb[i] + (1 - α) * csi_emb[i];
+    }
+    return fused;
+}
+```
+
+**Dynamic confidence gating** adjusts fusion based on signal quality:
+
+| Condition | Behavior |
+|-----------|----------|
+| Good video + good CSI | Balanced fusion (α ≈ 0.5) |
+| Poor lighting / occlusion | CSI-dominant (α → 0, WiFi takes over) |
+| CSI noise / no ESP32 | Video-dominant (α → 1, camera only) |
+| Video-only mode (no WiFi) | α = 1.0, pure visual CNN pose estimation |
+| CSI-only mode (no camera) | α = 0.0, pure WiFi pose estimation |
+
+Quality detection:
+- **Video quality**: Frame brightness variance (dark = low quality), motion blur score
+- **CSI quality**: Signal-to-noise ratio from `wifi-densepose-wasm`, coherence gate output
+
+### CSI-to-Image Encoding
+
+CSI data encoded as 3-channel pseudo-image for the CSI CNN pipeline:
+
+| Channel | Data | Normalization |
+|---------|------|---------------|
+| R | CSI amplitude (subcarrier × time window) | Min-max to [0, 255] |
+| G | CSI phase (unwrapped, subcarrier × time window) | Min-max to [0, 255] |
+| B | Temporal difference (frame-to-frame Δ amplitude) | Abs, min-max to [0, 255] |
+
+### Video Processing
+
+Webcam frames processed through standard ImageNet pipeline:
+
+```javascript
+// Capture frame from video element
+const frame = captureVideoFrame(videoElement, 224, 224); // Returns Uint8Array RGB
+
+// ImageNet normalization happens inside WasmCnnEmbedder.extract()
+const visual_embedding = visual_embedder.extract(frame, 224, 224);
+```
+
+### Pose Keypoint Mapping
+
+17 COCO-format keypoints decoded from the fused 512-dim embedding:
+
+```
+ 0: nose          1: left_eye       2: right_eye
+ 3: left_ear      4: right_ear      5: left_shoulder
+ 6: right_shoulder 7: left_elbow    8: right_elbow
+ 9: left_wrist   10: right_wrist   11: left_hip
+12: right_hip    13: left_knee     14: right_knee
+15: left_ankle   16: right_ankle
+```
+
+Each keypoint decoded as (x, y, confidence) = 51 values from the 512-dim embedding
+via a learned linear projection.
+
+### Operating Modes
+
+The demo supports three modes, selectable in the UI:
+
+| Mode | Video | CSI | Fusion | Use Case |
+|------|-------|-----|--------|----------|
+| **Dual (default)** | ✅ | ✅ | Attention-weighted | Best accuracy, full demo |
+| **Video Only** | ✅ | ❌ | α = 1.0 | No ESP32 available, quick demo |
+| **CSI Only** | ❌ | ✅ | α = 0.0 | Privacy mode, through-wall sensing |
+
+**Video Only mode works without any hardware** — just a webcam — making the demo
+instantly accessible for anyone wanting to try it.

+### WASM Module Structure
+
+| Package | Source Crate | Provides | Size (est.) |
+|---------|-------------|----------|-------------|
+| `wifi_densepose_wasm` | `wifi-densepose-wasm` | CSI frame parsing, signal processing, feature extraction | ~200KB |
+| `ruvector_cnn_wasm` | `ruvector-cnn-wasm` | `WasmCnnEmbedder` (×2 instances), `SimdOps`, `LayerOps`, contrastive losses | ~150KB |
+
+Two `WasmCnnEmbedder` instances are created — one for video frames, one for CSI pseudo-images.
+They share the same WASM module but have independent state.
+
+### Browser API Requirements
+
+| API | Purpose | Required | Fallback |
+|-----|---------|----------|----------|
+| `getUserMedia` | Webcam capture | For video mode | CSI-only mode |
+| WebAssembly | CNN inference | Yes | None (hard requirement) |
+| WASM SIMD128 | Accelerated inference | No | Scalar fallback (~2× slower) |
+| WebSocket | CSI data stream | For CSI mode | Video-only mode |
+| Canvas 2D | Rendering | Yes | None |
+| `requestAnimationFrame` | Render loop | Yes | `setTimeout` fallback |
+| ES Modules | Code organization | Yes | None |
+
+Target: Chrome 89+, Firefox 89+, Safari 15+, Edge 89+
+
+### Performance Budget
+
+| Stage | Target Latency | Notes |
+|-------|---------------|-------|
+| Video frame capture + resize | <3ms | `drawImage` to offscreen canvas |
+| Video CNN embedding | <15ms | 224×224 RGB → 512-dim |
+| CSI receive + parse | <2ms | Binary WebSocket message |
+| CSI pseudo-image encoding | <3ms | Amplitude/phase/delta channels |
+| CSI CNN embedding | <15ms | 224×224 pseudo-RGB → 512-dim |
+| Attention fusion | <1ms | Element-wise weighted sum |
+| Pose decoding | <1ms | Linear projection |
+| Canvas overlay render | <3ms | Video + skeleton + heatmap |
+| **Total (dual mode)** | **<33ms** | **30 FPS capable** |
+| **Total (video only)** | **<22ms** | **45 FPS capable** |
+
+Note: Video and CSI CNN pipelines can run in parallel using Web Workers,
+reducing dual-mode latency to ~max(15, 15) + 5 = ~20ms (50 FPS).
+
+### Contrastive Learning Integration
+
+The demo optionally shows real-time contrastive learning in the browser:
+
+- **InfoNCE loss** (`WasmInfoNCELoss`): Compare video vs CSI embeddings for the same pose — trains cross-modal alignment
+- **Triplet loss** (`WasmTripletLoss`): Push apart different poses, pull together same pose across modalities
+- **SimdOps**: Accelerated dot products for real-time similarity computation
+- **Embedding space panel**: Live 2D projection shows video and CSI embeddings converging when viewing the same person
+
+### Relationship to Existing Crates
+
+| Existing Crate | Role in This Demo |
+|---------------|-------------------|
+| `ruvector-cnn-wasm` | CNN inference for **both** video frames and CSI pseudo-images |
+| `wifi-densepose-wasm` | CSI frame parsing and signal processing |

+
+No new Rust crates are needed. The example is pure HTML/JS consuming existing WASM packages.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- **Instant demo**: Video-only mode works with just a webcam — no ESP32 needed
+- **Multi-modal showcase**: Demonstrates camera + WiFi fusion, the core innovation of the project
+- **Graceful degradation**: Works with video-only, CSI-only, or both
+- **Through-wall capability**: CSI mode shows pose estimation where cameras cannot reach
+- **Zero-install**: Anyone with a browser can try it
+- **Training data collection**: Can record paired (video, CSI) data for offline model training
+- **Reusable**: JS modules embed directly in the Tauri desktop app's webview
+
+### Negative
+
+- **Model weights**: Requires offline-trained weights for visual CNN, CSI CNN, fusion, and pose decoder (~200KB total JSON)
+- **WASM size**: Two WASM modules total ~350KB (acceptable)
+- **No GPU**: CPU-only WASM inference; adequate at 224×224 but limits resolution scaling
+- **Camera privacy**: Video mode requires camera permission (mitigated: CSI-only mode available)
+- **Two CNN instances**: Memory footprint doubles vs single-modal (~10MB total, acceptable for desktop browsers)
+
+### Risks
+
+- **Cross-modal alignment**: Video and CSI embeddings must be trained jointly for fusion to work;
+  without proper training, fusion may be worse than either modality alone
+- **Latency on mobile**: Dual CNN on mobile browsers may exceed 33ms; implement automatic quality reduction
+- **WebSocket drops**: Network jitter → CSI frame gaps; buffer last 3 frames, interpolate missing data
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+1. **Phase 1 — Scaffold**: File layout, build.sh, index.html shell, mode selector UI
+2. **Phase 2 — Video pipeline**: getUserMedia → frame capture → CNN embedding → basic pose display
+3. **Phase 3 — CSI pipeline**: WebSocket client → CSI parsing → pseudo-image → CNN embedding
+4. **Phase 4 — Fusion**: Attention-weighted combination, confidence gating, mode switching
+5. **Phase 5 — Pose decoder**: Linear projection with placeholder weights → 17 keypoints
+6. **Phase 6 — Overlay renderer**: Video canvas with skeleton overlay, CSI heatmap panel
+7. **Phase 7 — Training**: Use `wifi-densepose-train` to generate real weights for both CNNs + fusion + decoder
+8. **Phase 8 — Contrastive demo**: Embedding space visualization, cross-modal similarity display
+9. **Phase 9 — Web Workers**: Move CNN inference to workers for parallel video + CSI processing
+10. **Phase 10 — Polish**: Recording, snapshots, adaptive quality, mobile optimization
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. CSI-Only (No Video)
+Rejected: Misses the opportunity to show multi-modal fusion and makes the demo less
+accessible (requires ESP32 hardware). Video-only mode as a fallback is strictly better.
+
+### 2. Server-Side Video Inference
+Rejected: Adds latency, requires webcam stream upload (privacy concern), and defeats
+the WASM-first architecture. All inference must be client-side.
+
+### 3. TensorFlow.js for Video, ruvector-cnn-wasm for CSI
+Rejected: Would require two different ML frameworks. Using `ruvector-cnn-wasm` for both
+keeps a single WASM module, unified embedding space, and simpler fusion.
+
+### 4. Pre-recorded Video Demo
+Rejected: Live webcam input is far more compelling for demonstrations.
+Pre-recorded mode can be added as a secondary option.
+
+### 5. React/Vue Framework
+Rejected: Adds build tooling. Vanilla JS + ES modules keeps the demo self-contained.

+# ADR-059: Live ESP32 CSI Pipeline Integration
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Date
+
+2026-03-12
+
+## Context
+
+ADR-058 established a dual-modal browser demo combining webcam video and WiFi CSI for pose estimation. However, it used simulated CSI data. To demonstrate real-world capability, we need an end-to-end pipeline from physical ESP32 hardware through to the browser visualization.
+
+The ESP32-S3 firmware (`firmware/esp32-csi-node/`) already supports CSI collection and UDP streaming (ADR-018). The sensing server (`wifi-densepose-sensing-server`) already supports UDP ingestion and WebSocket bridging. The missing piece was connecting these components and enabling the browser demo to consume live data.
+
+## Decision
+
+Implement a complete live CSI pipeline:
+
+```
+ESP32-S3 (CSI capture) → UDP:5005 → sensing-server (Rust/Axum) → WS:8765 → browser demo
+```
+
+### Components
+
+1. **ESP32 Firmware** — Rebuilt with native Windows ESP-IDF v5.4.0 toolchain (no Docker). Configured for target network and PC IP via `sdkconfig`. Helper scripts added:
+   - `build_firmware.ps1` — Sets up IDF environment, cleans, builds, and flashes
+   - `read_serial.ps1` — Serial monitor with DTR/RTS reset capability
+
+2. **Sensing Server** — `wifi-densepose-sensing-server` started with:
+   - `--source esp32` — Expect real ESP32 UDP frames
+   - `--bind-addr 0.0.0.0` — Accept connections from any interface
+   - `--ui-path <path>` — Serve the demo UI via HTTP
+
+3. **Browser Demo** — `main.js` updated to auto-connect to `ws://localhost:8765/ws/sensing` on page load. Falls back to simulated CSI if the WebSocket is unavailable (GitHub Pages).
+
+### Network Configuration
+
+The ESP32 sends UDP packets to a configured target IP. If the PC's IP doesn't match the firmware's compiled target, a secondary IP alias can be added:
+
+```powershell
+# PowerShell (Admin)
+New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 192.168.1.100 -PrefixLength 24 -InterfaceAlias "Wi-Fi"
+```
+
+### Data Flow
+
+| Stage | Protocol | Format | Rate |
+|-------|----------|--------|------|
+| ESP32 → Server | UDP | ADR-018 binary frame (magic `0xC5110001`, I/Q pairs) | ~100 Hz |
+| Server → Browser | WebSocket | ADR-018 binary frame (forwarded) | ~10 Hz (tick-ms=100) |
+| Browser decode | JavaScript | Float32 amplitude/phase arrays | Per frame |
+
+### Build Environment (Windows)
+
+ESP-IDF v5.4.0 on Windows requires:
+- IDF_PATH pointing to the ESP-IDF framework
+- IDF_TOOLS_PATH pointing to toolchain binaries
+- MSYS/MinGW environment variables removed (ESP-IDF rejects them)
+- Python venv from ESP-IDF tools for `idf.py` execution
+
+The `build_firmware.ps1` script handles all of this automatically.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- First end-to-end demonstration of real WiFi CSI → pose estimation in a browser
+- No Docker required for firmware builds on Windows
+- Demo gracefully degrades to simulated CSI when no server is available
+- Same demo works on GitHub Pages (simulated) and locally (live ESP32)
+
+### Negative
+- ESP32 target IP is compiled into firmware; changing it requires a rebuild or NVS override
+- Windows firewall may block UDP:5005; user must allow it
+- Mixed content restrictions prevent HTTPS pages from connecting to ws:// (local only)

+# ADR-060: Provision Channel Override and MAC Address Filtering
+
+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-03-12
+- **Issues:** [#247](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/issues/247), [#229](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/issues/229)
+
+## Context
+
+Two related provisioning gaps were reported by users:
+
+1. **Channel mismatch (Issue #247):** The CSI collector initializes on the
+   Kconfig default channel (typically 6), even when the ESP32 connects to an AP
+   on a different channel (e.g. 11). On managed networks where the user cannot
+   change the router channel, this makes nodes undiscoverable. The
+   `provision.py` script has no `--channel` argument.
+
+2. **Missing MAC filter (Issue #229):** The v0.2.0 release notes documented a
+   `--filter-mac` argument for `provision.py`, but it was never implemented.
+   The firmware's CSI callback accepts frames from all sources, causing signal
+   mixing in multi-AP environments.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Channel configuration
+
+- Add `--channel` argument to `provision.py` that writes a `csi_channel` key
+  (u8) to NVS.
+- In `nvs_config.c`, read the `csi_channel` key and override
+  `channel_list[0]` when present.
+- In `csi_collector_init()`, after WiFi connects, auto-detect the AP channel
+  via `esp_wifi_sta_get_ap_info()` and use it as the default CSI channel when
+  no NVS override is set. This ensures the CSI collector always matches the
+  connected AP's channel without requiring manual provisioning.
+
+### MAC address filtering
+
+- Add `--filter-mac` argument to `provision.py` that writes a `filter_mac`
+  key (6-byte blob) to NVS.
+- In `nvs_config.h`, add a `filter_mac[6]` field and `filter_mac_set` flag.
+- In `nvs_config.c`, read the `filter_mac` blob from NVS.
+- In the CSI callback (`wifi_csi_callback`), if `filter_mac_set` is true,
+  compare the source MAC from the received frame against the configured MAC
+  and drop non-matching frames.
+
+### Provisioning flow
+
+```
+python provision.py --port COM7 --channel 11
+python provision.py --port COM7 --filter-mac "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF"
+python provision.py --port COM7 --channel 11 --filter-mac "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF"
+```
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Users on managed networks can force the CSI channel to match their AP
+- Multi-AP environments can filter CSI to a single source
+- Auto-channel detection eliminates the most common misconfiguration
+- Backward compatible: existing provisioned nodes without these keys behave
+  as before (use Kconfig default channel, accept all MACs)

+## Glossary
+
+| Term | Definition |
+|------|-----------|
+| Swarm | A group of N QEMU ESP32-S3 instances running simultaneously |
+| Topology | How nodes are connected: star, mesh, line, ring |
+| Role | Node function: `sensor` (collects CSI), `coordinator` (aggregates + forwards), `gateway` (bridges to host) |
+| Scenario matrix | Cross-product of topology × node count × NVS config × mock scenario |
+| Health oracle | Python process that monitors all node UART logs and declares swarm health |
+
+## Context
+
+ADR-061 Layer 3 provides a basic multi-node mesh test: N identical nodes with sequential TDM slots connected via a Linux bridge. This is useful but limited:
+
+1. **All nodes are identical** — real deployments have heterogeneous roles (sensor, coordinator, gateway)
+2. **Single topology** — only fully-connected bridge; no star, line, or ring topologies
+3. **No scenario variation per node** — all nodes run the same mock CSI scenario
+4. **Manual configuration** — each test requires hand-editing env vars and arguments
+5. **No swarm-level health monitoring** — validation checks individual nodes, not collective behavior
+6. **No cross-node timing validation** — TDM slot ordering and inter-frame gaps aren't verified
+
+Real WiFi-DensePose deployments use 3-8 ESP32-S3 nodes in various topologies. A single coordinator aggregates CSI from multiple sensors. The firmware must handle TDM conflicts, missing nodes, role-based behavior differences, and network partitions — none of which ADR-061 Layer 3 tests.
+
+## Decision
+
+Build a **QEMU Swarm Configurator** — a YAML-driven tool that defines multi-node test scenarios declaratively and orchestrates them under QEMU with swarm-level validation.

+```
+
+### Topologies
+
+| Topology | Network | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `star` | All sensors connect to coordinator; coordinator has TAP to each sensor | Hub-and-spoke, most common |
+| `mesh` | All nodes on same bridge (existing Layer 3 behavior) | Every node sees every other |
+| `line` | Node 0 ↔ Node 1 ↔ Node 2 ↔ ... | Linear chain, tests multi-hop |
+| `ring` | Like line but last connects to first | Circular, tests routing |
+
+### Node Roles
+
+| Role | Behavior | NVS Keys |
+|------|----------|----------|
+| `sensor` | Runs mock CSI, sends frames to coordinator | `node_id`, `tdm_slot`, `target_ip` |
+| `coordinator` | Receives frames from sensors, runs edge aggregation | `node_id`, `tdm_slot=0`, `edge_tier=2` |
+| `gateway` | Like coordinator but also bridges to host UDP | `node_id`, `target_ip=host`, `is_gateway=1` |
+
+### Assertions (Swarm-Level)
+
+| Assertion | What It Checks |
+|-----------|---------------|
+| `all_nodes_boot` | Every node's UART log shows boot indicators within timeout |
+| `no_crashes` | No Guru Meditation, assert, panic in any log |
+| `tdm_no_collision` | No two nodes transmit in the same TDM slot |
+| `all_nodes_produce_frames` | Every sensor node's log contains CSI frame output |
+| `coordinator_receives_from_all` | Coordinator log shows frames from each sensor's node_id |
+| `fall_detected_by_node_N` | Node N's log reports a fall detection event |
+| `frame_rate_above` | Each node produces at least N frames/second |
+| `max_boot_time_s` | All nodes boot within N seconds |
+| `no_heap_errors` | No OOM or heap corruption in any log |
+| `network_partitioned_recovery` | After deliberate partition, nodes resume communication (future) |
+
+### Preset Configurations
+
+| Preset | Nodes | Topology | Purpose |
+|--------|-------|----------|---------|
+| `smoke` | 2 | star | Quick CI smoke test (15s) |
+| `standard` | 3 | star | Default 3-node (sensor + sensor + coordinator) |
+| `large-mesh` | 6 | mesh | Scale test with 6 fully-connected nodes |
+| `line-relay` | 4 | line | Multi-hop relay chain |
+| `ring-fault` | 4 | ring | Ring with fault injection mid-test |
+| `heterogeneous` | 5 | star | Mixed scenarios: walk, fall, static, channel-sweep, empty |
+| `ci-matrix` | 3 | star | CI-optimized preset (30s, minimal assertions) |

+
+## Consequences
+
+### Benefits
+
+1. **Declarative testing** — define swarm topology in YAML, not shell scripts
+2. **Role-based nodes** — test coordinator/sensor/gateway interactions
+3. **Topology variety** — star/mesh/line/ring match real deployment patterns
+4. **Swarm-level assertions** — validate collective behavior, not just individual nodes
+5. **Preset library** — quick CI smoke tests and thorough manual validation
+6. **Reproducible** — YAML configs are version-controlled and shareable
+
+### Limitations
+
+1. **Still requires root** for TAP bridge topologies (star, line, ring); mesh can use SLIRP
+2. **QEMU resource usage** — 6+ QEMU instances use ~2GB RAM, may slow CI runners
+3. **No real RF** — inter-node communication is IP-based, not WiFi CSI multipath

+# ADR-063: 60 GHz mmWave Sensor Fusion with WiFi CSI
+
+**Status:** Proposed
+**Date:** 2026-03-15
+**Deciders:** @ruvnet
+**Related:** ADR-014 (SOTA signal processing), ADR-021 (vital sign extraction), ADR-029 (RuvSense multistatic), ADR-039 (edge intelligence), ADR-042 (CHCI coherent sensing)
+
+## Context
+
+RuView currently senses the environment using WiFi CSI — a passive technique that analyzes how WiFi signals are disturbed by human presence and movement. While this works through walls and requires no line of sight, CSI-derived vital signs (breathing rate, heart rate) are inherently noisy because they rely on phase extraction from multipath-rich WiFi channels.
+
+A complementary sensing modality exists: **60 GHz mmWave radar** modules (e.g., Seeed MR60BHA2) that use active FMCW radar at 60 GHz to measure breathing and heart rate with clinical-grade accuracy. These modules are inexpensive (~$15), run on ESP32-C6/C3, and output structured vital signs over UART.
+
+**Live hardware capture (COM4, 2026-03-15)** from a Seeed MR60BHA2 on an ESP32-C6 running ESPHome:
+
+```
+[D][sensor:093]: 'Real-time respiratory rate': Sending state 22.00000
+[D][sensor:093]: 'Real-time heart rate': Sending state 92.00000 bpm
+[D][sensor:093]: 'Distance to detection object': Sending state 0.00000 cm
+[D][sensor:093]: 'Target Number': Sending state 0.00000
+[D][binary_sensor:036]: 'Person Information': Sending state OFF
+[D][sensor:093]: 'Seeed MR60BHA2 Illuminance': Sending state 0.67913 lx
+```
+
+### The Opportunity
+
+Fusing WiFi CSI with mmWave radar creates a sensor system that is greater than the sum of its parts:
+
+| Capability | WiFi CSI Alone | mmWave Alone | Fused |
+|-----------|---------------|-------------|-------|
+| Through-wall sensing | Yes (5m+) | No (LoS only, ~3m) | Yes — CSI for room-scale, mmWave for precision |
+| Heart rate accuracy | ±5-10 BPM | ±1-2 BPM | ±1-2 BPM (mmWave primary, CSI cross-validates) |
+| Breathing accuracy | ±2-3 BPM | ±0.5 BPM | ±0.5 BPM |
+| Presence detection | Good (adaptive threshold) | Excellent (range-gated) | Excellent + through-wall |
+| Multi-person | Via subcarrier clustering | Via range-Doppler bins | Combined spatial + RF resolution |
+| Fall detection | Phase acceleration | Range/velocity + micro-Doppler | Dual-confirm reduces false positives to near-zero |
+| Pose estimation | Via trained model | Not available | CSI provides pose; mmWave provides ground-truth vitals for training |
+| Coverage | Whole room (passive) | ~120° cone, 3m range | Full room + precision zone |
+| Cost per node | ~$9 (ESP32-S3) | ~$15 (ESP32-C6 + MR60BHA2) | ~$24 combined |
+
+### RuVector Integration Points
+
+The RuVector v2.0.4 stack (already integrated per ADR-016) provides the signal processing backbone:
+
+| RuVector Component | Role in mmWave Fusion |
+|-------------------|----------------------|
+| `ruvector-attention` (`bvp.rs`) | Blood Volume Pulse estimation — mmWave heart rate can calibrate the WiFi CSI BVP phase extraction |
+| `ruvector-temporal-tensor` (`breathing.rs`) | Breathing rate estimation — mmWave provides ground-truth for adaptive filter tuning |
+| `ruvector-solver` (`triangulation.rs`) | Multilateration — mmWave range-gated distance + CSI amplitude = 3D position |
+| `ruvector-attn-mincut` (`spectrogram.rs`) | Time-frequency decomposition — mmWave Doppler complements CSI phase spectrogram |
+| `ruvector-mincut` (`metrics.rs`, DynamicPersonMatcher) | Multi-person association — mmWave target IDs help disambiguate CSI subcarrier clusters |
+
+### RuvSense Integration Points
+
+The RuvSense multistatic sensing pipeline (ADR-029) gains new capabilities:
+
+| RuvSense Module | mmWave Integration |
+|----------------|-------------------|
+| `pose_tracker.rs` (AETHER re-ID) | mmWave distance + velocity as additional re-ID features for Kalman tracker |
+| `longitudinal.rs` (Welford stats) | mmWave vitals as reference signal for CSI drift detection |
+| `intention.rs` (pre-movement) | mmWave micro-Doppler detects pre-movement 100-200ms earlier than CSI |
+| `adversarial.rs` (consistency check) | mmWave provides independent signal to detect CSI spoofing/anomalies |
+| `coherence_gate.rs` | mmWave presence as additional gate input — if mmWave says "no person", CSI coherence gate rejects |
+
+### Cross-Viewpoint Fusion Integration
+
+The viewpoint fusion pipeline (`ruvector/src/viewpoint/`) extends naturally:
+
+| Viewpoint Module | mmWave Extension |
+|-----------------|-----------------|
+| `attention.rs` (CrossViewpointAttention) | mmWave range becomes a new "viewpoint" in the attention mechanism |
+| `geometry.rs` (GeometricDiversityIndex) | mmWave cone geometry contributes to Fisher Information / Cramer-Rao bounds |
+| `coherence.rs` (phase phasor) | mmWave phase coherence as validation for WiFi phasor coherence |
+| `fusion.rs` (MultistaticArray) | mmWave node becomes a member of the multistatic array with its own domain events |
+
+## Decision
+
+Add 60 GHz mmWave radar sensor support to the RuView firmware and sensing pipeline with auto-detection and device-specific capabilities.

+
+### Three Deployment Modes
+
+**Mode 1: Standalone CSI (existing)** — ESP32-S3 only, WiFi CSI sensing.
+
+**Mode 2: Standalone mmWave** — ESP32-C6 + MR60BHA2, precise vitals in a single room.
+
+**Mode 3: Fused (recommended)** — ESP32-S3 + mmWave module on UART, or two separate nodes with server-side fusion.
+
+### Auto-Detection Protocol
+
+The firmware will auto-detect connected mmWave modules at boot:
+
+1. **UART probe** — On configured UART pins, send the MR60BHA2 identification command (`0x01 0x01 0x00 0x01 ...`) and check for valid response header
+2. **Protocol detection** — Identify the sensor family:
+   - Seeed MR60BHA2 (breathing + heart rate)
+   - Seeed MR60FDA1 (fall detection)
+   - Seeed MR24HPC1 (presence + light sleep/deep sleep)
+   - HLK-LD2410 (presence + distance)
+   - HLK-LD2450 (multi-target tracking)
+3. **Capability registration** — Register detected sensor capabilities in the edge config:
+
+```c
+typedef struct {
+    uint8_t  mmwave_detected;      /** 1 if mmWave module found on UART */
+    uint8_t  mmwave_type;          /** Sensor family (MR60BHA2, MR60FDA1, etc.) */
+    uint8_t  mmwave_has_hr;        /** Heart rate capability */
+    uint8_t  mmwave_has_br;        /** Breathing rate capability */
+    uint8_t  mmwave_has_fall;      /** Fall detection capability */
+    uint8_t  mmwave_has_presence;  /** Presence detection capability */
+    uint8_t  mmwave_has_distance;  /** Range measurement capability */
+    uint8_t  mmwave_has_tracking;  /** Multi-target tracking capability */
+    float    mmwave_hr_bpm;        /** Latest heart rate from mmWave */
+    float    mmwave_br_bpm;        /** Latest breathing rate from mmWave */
+    float    mmwave_distance_cm;   /** Distance to nearest target */
+    uint8_t  mmwave_target_count;  /** Number of detected targets */
+    bool     mmwave_person_present;/** mmWave presence state */
+} mmwave_state_t;
+```
+
+### Supported Sensors
+
+| Sensor | Frequency | Capabilities | UART Protocol | Cost |
+|--------|-----------|-------------|---------------|------|
+| **Seeed MR60BHA2** | 60 GHz | HR, BR, presence, illuminance | Seeed proprietary frames | ~$15 |
+| **Seeed MR60FDA1** | 60 GHz | Fall detection, presence | Seeed proprietary frames | ~$15 |
+| **Seeed MR24HPC1** | 24 GHz | Presence, sleep stage, distance | Seeed proprietary frames | ~$10 |
+| **HLK-LD2410** | 24 GHz | Presence, distance (motion + static) | HLK binary protocol | ~$3 |
+| **HLK-LD2450** | 24 GHz | Multi-target tracking (x,y,speed) | HLK binary protocol | ~$5 |
+
+### Fusion Algorithms
+
+**1. Vital Sign Fusion (Kalman filter)**
+```
+mmWave HR (high confidence, 1 Hz) ─┐
+                                    ├─► Kalman fuse → fused HR ± confidence
+CSI-derived HR (lower confidence)  ─┘
+```
+
+**2. Fall Detection (dual-confirm)**
+```
+CSI phase accel > thresh ──────┐
+                               ├─► AND gate → confirmed fall (near-zero false positives)
+mmWave range-velocity pattern ─┘
+```
+
+**3. Presence Validation**
+```
+CSI adaptive threshold ────┐
+                           ├─► Weighted vote → robust presence
+mmWave target count > 0 ──┘
+```
+
+**4. Training Calibration**
+```
+mmWave ground-truth vitals → train CSI BVP extraction model
+mmWave distance → calibrate CSI triangulation
+mmWave micro-Doppler → label CSI activity patterns
+```
+
+### Vitals Packet Extension
+
+Extend the existing 32-byte vitals packet (magic `0xC5110002`) with a new 48-byte fused packet:
+
+```c
+typedef struct __attribute__((packed)) {
+    /* Existing 32-byte vitals fields */
+    uint32_t magic;            /* 0xC5110004 (fused vitals) */
+    uint8_t  node_id;
+    uint8_t  flags;            /* Bit0=presence, Bit1=fall, Bit2=motion, Bit3=mmwave_present */
+    uint16_t breathing_rate;   /* Fused BPM * 100 */
+    uint32_t heartrate;        /* Fused BPM * 10000 */
+    int8_t   rssi;
+    uint8_t  n_persons;
+    uint8_t  mmwave_type;      /* Sensor type enum */
+    uint8_t  fusion_confidence;/* 0-100 fusion quality score */
+    float    motion_energy;
+    float    presence_score;
+    uint32_t timestamp_ms;
+    /* New mmWave fields (16 bytes) */
+    float    mmwave_hr_bpm;    /* Raw mmWave heart rate */
+    float    mmwave_br_bpm;    /* Raw mmWave breathing rate */
+    float    mmwave_distance;  /* Distance to nearest target (cm) */
+    uint8_t  mmwave_targets;   /* Target count */
+    uint8_t  mmwave_confidence;/* mmWave signal quality 0-100 */
+    uint16_t reserved;
+} edge_fused_vitals_pkt_t;
+
+_Static_assert(sizeof(edge_fused_vitals_pkt_t) == 48, "fused vitals must be 48 bytes");
+```
+
+### NVS Configuration
+
+New provisioning parameters:
+
+```bash
+python provision.py --port COM7 \
+  --mmwave-uart-tx 17 --mmwave-uart-rx 18 \  # UART pins for mmWave module
+  --mmwave-type auto \                         # auto-detect, or: mr60bha2, ld2410, etc.
+  --fusion-mode kalman \                       # kalman, vote, mmwave-primary, csi-primary
+  --fall-dual-confirm true                     # require both CSI + mmWave for fall alert
+```
+
+### Implementation Phases
+
+| Phase | Scope | Effort |
+|-------|-------|--------|
+| **Phase 1** | UART driver + MR60BHA2 parser + auto-detection | 2 weeks |
+| **Phase 2** | Fused vitals packet + Kalman vital sign fusion | 1 week |
+| **Phase 3** | Dual-confirm fall detection + presence voting | 1 week |
+| **Phase 4** | HLK-LD2410/LD2450 support + multi-target fusion | 2 weeks |
+| **Phase 5** | RuVector calibration pipeline (mmWave as ground truth) | 3 weeks |
+| **Phase 6** | Server-side fusion for separate CSI + mmWave nodes | 2 weeks |
+
+## Consequences
+

+- Self-calibrating CSI pipeline using mmWave ground truth
+- Backward compatible — existing CSI-only nodes work unchanged
+- Low incremental cost (~$3-15 per mmWave module)
+- Auto-detection means zero configuration for supported sensors
+- RuVector attention/solver/temporal-tensor modules gain a high-quality reference signal
+
+### Negative
+- Added firmware complexity (~2-3 KB RAM for mmWave state + UART buffer)
+- mmWave modules require line-of-sight (complementary to CSI, not replacement)
+- Multiple UART protocols to maintain (Seeed, HLK families)
+- 48-byte fused packet requires server parser update
+
+### Neutral

+# ADR-064: Multimodal Ambient Intelligence — WiFi CSI + mmWave + Environmental Sensors
+
+**Status:** Proposed
+**Date:** 2026-03-15
+**Deciders:** @ruvnet
+**Related:** ADR-063 (mmWave fusion), ADR-039 (edge intelligence), ADR-042 (CHCI), ADR-029 (RuvSense multistatic), ADR-024 (AETHER contrastive embeddings)
+
+## Context
+
+With ADR-063 we demonstrated real-time fusion of WiFi CSI (ESP32-S3, COM7) and 60 GHz mmWave radar (Seeed MR60BHA2 on ESP32-C6, COM4). The live capture showed:
+
+- **mmWave**: HR 75 bpm, BR 25/min, presence at 52 cm, 1.4 Hz update
+- **WiFi CSI**: Channel 5, RSSI -41, 20+ Hz frame rate, through-wall coverage
+- **BH1750**: Ambient light 0.0-0.7 lux (room darkness level)
+
+This ADR explores the full spectrum of what becomes possible when these modalities are combined — from immediately practical applications to speculative research directions.
+
+---
+
+## Tier 1: Practical (Build Now)
+
+### 1.1 Intelligent Fall Detection with Zero False Positives
+
+**Current state:** CSI-only fall detection with 15.0 rad/s² threshold (v0.4.3.1).
+**With fusion:** mmWave confirms fall via range-velocity signature (sudden height drop + impact deceleration). CSI provides the alert; mmWave provides the confirmation.
+
+```
+CSI phase acceleration > 15 rad/s² ─┐
+                                     ├─► AND gate + temporal correlation
+mmWave: height drop > 50cm in <1s ──┘   → CONFIRMED FALL (call 911)
+```
+
+**Impact:** Elderly care facilities spend $34B/year on fall injuries. A $24 sensor node with zero false positives replaces $200/month medical alert wearables that residents forget to wear.
+
+### 1.2 Sleep Quality Monitoring
+
+**Sensors used:** mmWave (BR/HR), CSI (bed occupancy, movement), BH1750 (light)
+
+| Metric | Source | Method |
+|--------|--------|--------|
+| Sleep onset | CSI motion → still transition | Phase variance drops below threshold |
+| Sleep stages | mmWave BR variability | BR 12-20 = light sleep, 6-12 = deep sleep |
+| REM detection | mmWave HR variability | HR variability increases during REM |
+| Restlessness | CSI motion energy | Counts of motion episodes per hour |
+| Room darkness | BH1750 | Correlate light exposure with sleep latency |
+| Wake events | CSI + mmWave | Motion + HR spike = awakening |
+
+**Output:** Sleep score (0-100), time in each stage, disturbance log.
+**No wearable required.** Works through a mattress.
+
+### 1.3 Occupancy-Aware HVAC and Lighting
+
+**Sensors:** CSI (room-level presence through walls), mmWave (precise count + distance), BH1750 (ambient light)
+
+- CSI detects which rooms are occupied (through walls, whole-floor sensing)
+- mmWave counts exact number of people in the sensor's room
+- BH1750 measures if lights are on/needed
+- System sends MQTT/UDP commands to smart home controllers
+
+**Energy savings:** 20-40% HVAC reduction by not heating/cooling empty rooms.
+
+### 1.4 Bathroom Safety for Elderly
+
+**Sensor placement:** One CSI node outside bathroom (through-wall), one mmWave inside.
+
+- CSI detects person entered bathroom (through-wall)
+- mmWave monitors vitals while showering (waterproof enclosure)
+- If no movement for > N minutes AND HR drops: alert
+- Fall detection in shower (slippery surface = high risk)
+
+### 1.5 Baby/Infant Breathing Monitor
+
+**mmWave at crib-side:** Contactless breathing monitoring at 0.5-1m range.
+- BR < 10 or BR = 0 for > 20s: alarm (apnea detection)
+- CSI provides room context (parent present? other motion?)
+- BH1750 tracks night feeding times (light on/off events)
+
+---
+
+## Tier 2: Advanced (Research Prototype)
+
+### 2.1 Gait Analysis and Fall Risk Prediction
+
+**Method:** CSI tracks walking pattern across the room; mmWave measures stride length and velocity.
+
+| Feature | Source | Clinical Use |
+|---------|--------|-------------|
+| Gait velocity | mmWave Doppler | < 0.8 m/s = fall risk indicator |
+| Stride variability | CSI phase patterns | High variability = cognitive decline marker |
+| Turning stability | CSI + mmWave | Difficulty turning = Parkinson's indicator |
+| Get-up time | mmWave (sit→stand) | Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, contactless |
+
+**Clinical value:** Gait velocity is called the "sixth vital sign" — it predicts hospitalization, cognitive decline, and mortality. Currently requires a $10,000 GAITRite mat. A $24 sensor node replaces it.
+
+### 2.2 Emotion and Stress Detection via Micro-Vitals
+
+**mmWave at desk:** Continuous HR variability (HRV) monitoring during work.
+
+- **HRV time-domain:** SDNN, RMSSD from beat-to-beat intervals
+- **HRV frequency-domain:** LF/HF ratio (sympathetic/parasympathetic balance)
+- Low HF power = stress; high HF = relaxation
+- CSI detects fidgeting, posture shifts (correlated with stress)
+- BH1750 correlates lighting with mood/productivity
+
+**Application:** Smart office that adjusts lighting, temperature, and notification frequency based on detected stress level.
+
+### 2.3 Gesture Recognition as Room Control
+
+**CSI:** Already has DTW template matching gesture classifier (`ruvsense/gesture.rs`).
+**mmWave:** Adds range-Doppler micro-gesture detection (hand wave, swipe, circle).
+
+- CSI recognizes gross gestures (wave arm, walk pattern)
+- mmWave recognizes fine hand gestures (swipe left/right, push/pull)
+- Fused: spatial context (CSI knows where you are) + precise gesture (mmWave knows what your hand did)
+
+**Use case:** Wave at the sensor to turn off lights. Swipe to change music. No voice assistant, no camera, no wearable.
+
+### 2.4 Respiratory Disease Screening
+
+**mmWave BR patterns over days/weeks:**
+
+| Pattern | Indicator |
+|---------|-----------|
+| BR > 20 at rest, trending up | Possible pneumonia/COVID |
+| Periodic breathing (Cheyne-Stokes) | Heart failure |
+| Obstructive apnea pattern | Sleep apnea (> 5 events/hour) |
+| BR variability decrease | COPD exacerbation |
+
+**CSI adds:** Cough detection (sudden phase disturbance pattern), movement reduction (malaise indicator).
+
+**Longitudinal tracking** via `ruvsense/longitudinal.rs` (Welford stats, biomechanics drift detection) — the system learns your normal breathing pattern and alerts on deviations.
+
+### 2.5 Multi-Room Activity Recognition
+
+**3-6 CSI nodes (through walls) + 1-2 mmWave (key rooms):**
+
+```
+Kitchen (CSI):     person detected, high motion → cooking
+Living room (mmWave + CSI): 2 people, low motion, HR stable → watching TV
+Bedroom (CSI):     person detected, minimal motion → sleeping
+Bathroom (CSI):    person entered 3 min ago, still inside → OK
+Front door (CSI):  motion pattern = leaving/arriving
+```
+
+**Output:** Activity timeline, daily routine deviation alerts, loneliness detection (no visitors in N days).
+
+---
+
+## Tier 3: Speculative (Research Frontier)
+
+### 3.1 Cardiac Arrhythmia Detection
+
+**mmWave at < 1m range:** Beat-to-beat interval extraction from chest wall displacement.
+
+- Atrial fibrillation: irregular R-R intervals (coefficient of variation > 0.1)
+- Bradycardia/tachycardia: sustained HR < 60 or > 100
+- Premature ventricular contractions: occasional short-long-short patterns
+
+**Challenge:** Requires sub-millimeter displacement resolution. The MR60BHA2 may lack the SNR for single-beat extraction, but clinical-grade 60 GHz modules (Infineon BGT60TR13C) can achieve this.
+
+**CSI role:** Validates that the person is stationary (motion corrupts beat-to-beat analysis).
+
+### 3.2 Blood Pressure Estimation (Contactless)
+
+**Theory:** Pulse Transit Time (PTT) between two body points correlates with blood pressure. With two mmWave sensors at different body positions, PTT can be estimated from the phase difference of reflected chest/wrist signals.
+
+**Feasibility:** Academic papers demonstrate ±10 mmHg accuracy in controlled settings. Far from clinical grade but useful for trending.
+
+### 3.3 RF Tomography — 3D Occupancy Imaging
+
+**Method:** Multiple CSI nodes form a tomographic array. Each TX-RX pair measures signal attenuation. Inverse problem (ISTA L1 solver, already in `ruvsense/tomography.rs`) reconstructs a 3D voxel grid of where absorbers (people) are.
+
+**mmWave adds:** Range-gated targets as sparse priors for the tomographic reconstruction, dramatically reducing the ill-posedness of the inverse problem.
+
+```
+CSI tomography (coarse 3D grid, 50cm resolution) ─┐
+                                                    ├─► Sparse fusion
+mmWave targets (precise range, cm resolution) ─────┘   → 10cm 3D occupancy map
+```
+
+### 3.4 Sign Language Recognition
+
+**CSI phase patterns (body/arm movement) + mmWave Doppler (hand micro-movements):**
+
+- CSI captures the gross arm trajectory of each sign
+- mmWave captures the finger configuration at the pause point
+- AETHER contrastive embeddings (`ADR-024`) learn to map (CSI phase sequence, mmWave Doppler) → sign label
+- No camera required — works in the dark, preserves privacy
+
+**Training data:** Record CSI + mmWave while performing signs with a camera as ground truth, then deploy camera-free.
+
+### 3.5 Cognitive Load Estimation
+
+**Multimodal features:**
+
+| Feature | Source | Cognitive Load Indicator |
+|---------|--------|------------------------|
+| HR increase | mmWave | Sympathetic activation |
+| BR irregularity | mmWave | Cognitive interference |
+| Posture stiffness | CSI motion variance | Reduced when concentrating |
+| Fidgeting frequency | CSI high-freq motion | Increases with frustration |
+| Micro-saccade proxy | mmWave head micro-movement | Correlated with attention |
+
+**Application:** Adaptive learning systems that slow down when the student is overloaded. Smart meeting rooms that detect when participants are disengaged.
+
+### 3.6 Drone/Robot Navigation via RF Sensing
+
+**CSI mesh as indoor GPS:** A network of CSI nodes creates a spatial RF fingerprint map. A robot or drone with an ESP32 can localize itself by matching its observed CSI to the map.
+
+**mmWave on the robot:** Obstacle avoidance + human detection (don't collide with people).
+
+**CSI from the environment:** Tells the robot where people are in adjacent rooms (through walls) so it can plan routes that avoid occupied spaces.
+
+### 3.7 Building Structural Health Monitoring
+
+**CSI multipath signature over months/years:**
+
+- The CSI channel response is a fingerprint of the room's geometry
+- Subtle shifts in multipath (wall crack propagation, foundation settlement) change the CSI signature
+- `ruvsense/cross_room.rs` (environment fingerprinting) tracks these long-term drifts
+- mmWave detects surface vibrations (micro-displacement from traffic, wind, seismic)
+
+**Application:** Early warning for structural degradation in bridges, tunnels, old buildings.
+
+### 3.8 Swarm Sensing — Emergent Spatial Awareness
+
+**50+ nodes across a building:**
+
+Each node runs local edge intelligence (ADR-039). The `hive-mind` consensus system (ADR-062) aggregates across nodes. Emergent behaviors:
+
+- **Flow detection:** Track how people move between rooms over time
+- **Anomaly detection:** "This hallway usually has 5 people/hour but had 0 today"
+- **Emergency routing:** During fire, track which exits are blocked (no movement) vs available
+- **Crowd density:** Concert/stadium safety — detect dangerous compression zones through walls
+
+---
+
+## Tier 4: Exotic / Sci-Fi Adjacent
+
+### 4.1 Emotion Contagion Mapping
+
+If multiple people are in a room and the system can estimate individual HR/HRV (via multi-target mmWave + CSI subcarrier clustering), you can detect:
+
+- Physiological synchrony (two people's HR converging = rapport/empathy)
+- Stress propagation (one person's stress → others' HR rises)
+- "Emotional temperature" of a room
+
+### 4.2 Dream State Detection and Lucid Dream Induction
+
+During REM sleep (detected via mmWave HR variability + CSI minimal body movement):
+
+- Detect REM onset with high confidence
+- Trigger a subtle environmental cue (gentle light via smart bulb, barely audible tone)
+- The sleeper incorporates the cue into the dream, recognizing it as a dream trigger
+- BH1750 confirms room is dark (not a natural awakening)
+
+Based on published lucid dreaming induction research (e.g., LaBerge's MILD technique with external cues).
+
+### 4.3 Plant Growth Monitoring
+
+WiFi signals pass through plant tissue differently based on water content.
+
+- CSI amplitude through a greenhouse changes as plants absorb/release water
+- mmWave reflects off leaf surfaces — micro-displacement from growth
+- Long-term CSI drift correlates with biomass increase
+
+Academic proof-of-concept: "Sensing Plant Water Content Using WiFi Signals" (2023).
+
+### 4.4 Pet Behavior Analysis
+
+- CSI detects pet movement patterns (different phase signature than humans — lower, faster)
+- mmWave detects breathing rate (pets have higher BR than humans)
+- System learns pet's daily routine and alerts on deviations (lethargy, pacing, not eating)
+
+### 4.5 Paranormal Investigation Tool
+
+(For the entertainment/hobbyist market)
+
+- CSI detects "unexplained" signal disturbances in empty rooms
+- mmWave confirms no physical presence
+- System logs "anomalous RF events" with timestamps
+- Export as Ghost Hunting report
+
+**Actual explanation:** Temperature changes, HVAC drafts, and EMI cause CSI fluctuations. But it would sell.

+
+Document these possibilities as the product roadmap for the RuView multimodal ambient intelligence platform. Prioritize P0-P1 items (fall detection, sleep, occupancy, baby monitor, bathroom safety) for immediate implementation using the existing hardware (ESP32-S3 + MR60BHA2 + BH1750).
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Positions RuView as a platform, not just a WiFi sensing demo
+- Each application can ship as a WASM edge module (ADR-040), deployable to existing hardware
+- Healthcare applications have clear regulatory paths (fall detection is FDA Class I exempt)
+- Most P0-P1 applications require no additional hardware beyond what's already deployed
+
+### Negative
+- Clinical applications (arrhythmia, blood pressure) require medical device validation
+- Privacy concerns scale with capability — need clear data retention policies
+- Some exotic applications may attract scrutiny (surveillance concerns)
+
+### Risk Mitigation
+- All processing happens on-device (edge) — no cloud, no recordings by default
+- No cameras — signal-based sensing preserves visual privacy
+- Open source — users can audit exactly what is sensed and transmitted

+# ADR-065: Hotel Guest Happiness Scoring -- WiFi CSI + Cognitum Seed Bridge
+
+**Status:** Proposed
+**Date:** 2026-03-20
+**Deciders:** @ruvnet
+**Related:** ADR-040 (WASM edge modules), ADR-039 (edge intelligence), ADR-042 (CHCI), ADR-064 (multimodal ambient intelligence), ADR-060 (multi-node aggregation)
+
+## Context
+
+Hotels lack objective, privacy-preserving methods to measure guest satisfaction in real time. Current approaches (post-stay surveys, NPS scores) are delayed, biased toward extremes, and capture less than 10% of guests. Meanwhile, ambient RF sensing can infer behavioral cues that correlate with comfort and well-being -- without cameras, wearables, or any guest interaction.
+
+### Hardware
+
+Two ESP32-S3 variants are deployed:
+
+| Device | Flash | PSRAM | MAC | Port | Notes |
+|--------|-------|-------|-----|------|-------|
+| ESP32-S3 (QFN56 rev 0.2) | 4 MB | 2 MB | 1C:DB:D4:83:D2:40 | COM5 | Budget node, uses `sdkconfig.defaults.4mb` + `partitions_4mb.csv` |
+| ESP32-S3 | 8 MB | 8 MB | -- | COM7 | Full-featured node, existing deployment |
+
+Both run the Tier 2 DSP firmware with presence detection, vitals extraction, fall detection, and gait analysis.
+
+### Cognitum Seed Device
+
+A Cognitum Seed unit is deployed on the same network segment:
+
+- **Address:** 169.254.42.1 (link-local)
+- **Hardware:** Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
+- **Firmware:** 0.7.0
+- **Vector store:** 398 vectors, dim=8
+- **API endpoints:** 98 (REST, fully documented)
+- **Sensors:** PIR, reed switch (door), vibration, ADS1115 ADC (4-ch analog), BME280 (temp/humidity/pressure)
+- **Security:** Ed25519 custody chain with tamper-evident witness log
+
+The Seed's 8-dimensional vector store and drift detection engine make it a natural aggregation point for behavioral feature vectors extracted from CSI data.
+
+### Existing WASM Edge Modules
+
+The following modules already run on-device and produce features relevant to happiness scoring:
+
+| Module | Event IDs | Outputs |
+|--------|-----------|---------|
+| `exo_emotion_detect.rs` | 610-613 | Arousal level, stress index |
+| `med_gait_analysis.rs` | 130-134 | Cadence, stride length, regularity |
+| `ret_customer_flow.rs` | 410-413 | Entry/exit count, direction |
+| `ret_dwell_heatmap.rs` | 420-423 | Dwell time per zone |
+
+## Decision
+
+### 1. New WASM Module: `exo_happiness_score.rs`
+
+Create a new WASM edge module that fuses outputs from existing modules into an 8-dimensional happiness vector, matching the Seed's vector dimensionality (dim=8).
+
+**Event ID registry (690-694):**
+
+| Event ID | Name | Description |
+|----------|------|-------------|
+| 690 | `HAPPINESS_VECTOR` | Full 8-dim happiness vector emitted per scoring window |
+| 691 | `HAPPINESS_TREND` | Windowed trend (rising/falling/stable) over last N vectors |
+| 692 | `HAPPINESS_ALERT` | Score crossed a configured threshold (low satisfaction) |
+| 693 | `HAPPINESS_GROUP` | Aggregate score for multi-person zone |
+| 694 | `HAPPINESS_CALIBRATION` | Baseline recalibration event (new guest check-in) |
+
+### 2. Happiness Vector Schema (8 Dimensions)
+
+Each dimension is normalized to [0.0, 1.0] where 1.0 = maximal positive signal:
+
+| Dim | Name | Source | Derivation |
+|-----|------|--------|------------|
+| 0 | `gait_speed` | `med_gait_analysis` (130) | Normalized walking velocity. Brisk = positive. |
+| 1 | `stride_regularity` | `med_gait_analysis` (131) | Low stride-to-stride variance = relaxed gait. |
+| 2 | `movement_fluidity` | CSI phase jerk (d3/dt3) | Low jerk = smooth, unhurried movement. |
+| 3 | `breathing_calm` | Vitals BR extraction | BR 12-18 at rest = calm. Deviation penalized. |
+| 4 | `posture_openness` | CSI subcarrier spread | Wide phase spread across subcarriers = open posture. |
+| 5 | `dwell_comfort` | `ret_dwell_heatmap` (420) | Moderate dwell in amenity zones = engagement. |
+| 6 | `direction_entropy` | `ret_customer_flow` (410) | Low entropy = purposeful movement. Wandering penalized. |
+| 7 | `group_energy` | Multi-target CSI clustering | Synchronized movement of 2+ people = social engagement. |
+
+The composite scalar happiness score is the weighted L2 norm:
+
+```
+score = sum(w[i] * v[i] for i in 0..7) / sum(w[i])
+```
+
+Default weights are uniform (all 1.0), configurable via NVS or Seed API.
+
+### 3. ESP32 to Seed Bridge
+
+```
+ESP32-S3 (CSI)                    Cognitum Seed (169.254.42.1)
++------------------+              +----------------------------+
+| Tier 2 DSP       |              |                            |
+| + WASM modules   |  UDP 5555   | /api/v1/store/ingest       |
+| exo_happiness    |──────────────| (POST, 8-dim vector)       |
+|   _score.rs      |              |                            |
+|                  |              | /api/v1/drift/check        |
+|                  |◄─────────────| (drift alerts via webhook) |
+|                  |              |                            |
+|                  |              | /api/v1/witness/append     |
+|                  |              | (Ed25519 audit trail)      |
++------------------+              +----------------------------+
+```
+
+**Data flow:**
+
+1. ESP32 runs CSI capture at 20+ Hz and feeds subcarrier data through existing WASM modules.
+2. `exo_happiness_score.rs` collects outputs from emotion, gait, flow, and dwell modules every scoring window (default: 30 seconds).
+3. The 8-dim happiness vector is packed as a 32-byte payload (8x float32) and sent via UDP to port 5555 on 169.254.42.1.
+4. A lightweight bridge task on the Seed receives the UDP packet and POSTs it to `/api/v1/store/ingest` with metadata (room ID, timestamp, MAC).
+5. The Seed's drift detection engine monitors the happiness vector stream and flags anomalies (sudden drops, sustained low scores).
+6. Every ingested vector is appended to the Seed's Ed25519 witness chain, providing a tamper-proof audit trail.
+
+### 4. Seed Drift Detection for Happiness Trends
+
+The Seed's built-in drift detection compares incoming vectors against a rolling baseline:
+
+- **Check-in calibration:** When a new guest checks in, event 694 resets the baseline.
+- **Drift threshold:** Configurable (default: cosine distance > 0.3 from baseline triggers alert).
+- **Trend window:** Last 20 vectors (~10 minutes at 30s intervals).
+- **Alert routing:** Seed webhook notifies hotel management system when happiness trend is declining.
+
+### 5. RuView Live Dashboard Update
+
+`ruview_live.py` gains a `--seed` flag:
+
+```bash
+python ruview_live.py --port COM5 --seed 169.254.42.1 --mode happiness
+```
+
+This mode displays:
+- Real-time 8-dim radar chart of the happiness vector
+- Scalar happiness score (0-100) with color coding (red/yellow/green)
+- Trend sparkline over the last hour
+- Seed witness chain status (last hash, chain length)
+- Room-level aggregate when multiple ESP32 nodes report

+```
+
+### 7. 4MB Flash Support
+
+The 4MB ESP32-S3 variant (COM5) is officially supported for happiness scoring. The existing `partitions_4mb.csv` and `sdkconfig.defaults.4mb` from ADR-265 provide dual OTA slots (1.856 MB each), sufficient for the full Tier 2 DSP firmware plus `exo_happiness_score.wasm` (estimated < 40 KB).
+
+Build for 4MB variant:
+
+```bash
+cp sdkconfig.defaults.4mb sdkconfig.defaults
+idf.py build
+```
+
+The WASM module loader selects which modules to instantiate based on available heap. On the 4MB/2MB PSRAM variant, happiness scoring runs with a reduced scoring window (60s instead of 30s) to conserve memory.
+
+### 8. Privacy Considerations
+
+- **No cameras.** All sensing is RF-based (WiFi subcarrier amplitude/phase).
+- **No facial recognition.** Happiness is inferred from movement patterns, not expressions.
+- **No audio capture.** Breathing rate is extracted from chest wall displacement via RF, not microphone.
+- **No PII stored on device.** Vectors are anonymous; room-to-guest mapping lives only in the hotel PMS.
+- **Seed witness chain** provides auditable proof of what data was collected and when, satisfying GDPR Article 30 record-keeping requirements.
+- **Guest opt-out:** A physical switch on the ESP32 node (GPIO connected to a toggle) disables CSI capture entirely. The Seed's reed switch can also serve as a "privacy mode" trigger (door-mounted magnet removed = sensing paused).
+- **Data retention:** Vectors are retained on the Seed for the duration of the stay plus 24 hours, then purged. The witness chain retains hashes (not vectors) indefinitely for audit.
+
+### 9. API Integration
+
+Key Cognitum Seed endpoints used:
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Purpose |
+|----------|--------|---------|
+| `/api/v1/store/ingest` | POST | Ingest 8-dim happiness vector |
+| `/api/v1/store/query` | POST | Retrieve vectors by room/time range |
+| `/api/v1/drift/check` | GET | Check if current vector drifts from baseline |
+| `/api/v1/drift/configure` | PUT | Set drift threshold and window size |
+| `/api/v1/witness/append` | POST | Append event to Ed25519 custody chain |
+| `/api/v1/witness/verify` | GET | Verify chain integrity |
+| `/api/v1/sensors/bme280` | GET | Room temperature/humidity (comfort correlation) |
+| `/api/v1/sensors/pir` | GET | PIR presence (cross-validate with CSI) |
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- Provides real-time, objective guest satisfaction measurement without surveys or wearables.
+- Reuses four existing WASM modules -- the happiness module is a fusion layer, not a rewrite.
+- The Seed's 8-dim vector store is a natural fit; no schema changes needed.
+- Ed25519 witness chain satisfies hospitality industry audit requirements and GDPR record-keeping.
+- Both 4MB and 8MB ESP32-S3 variants are supported, enabling low-cost deployment at scale (~$8 per room for the 4MB node).
+- Seed's environmental sensors (BME280, PIR) provide complementary context (room temperature, humidity) that can be correlated with happiness scores.
+- No cloud dependency -- all processing is local (ESP32 edge + Seed link-local network).
+
+### Negative
+
+- Happiness inference from movement patterns is a proxy, not a direct measurement. Correlation with actual guest satisfaction must be validated empirically.
+- The 4MB variant has reduced scoring frequency (60s vs 30s) due to memory constraints.
+- UDP transport between ESP32 and Seed is unreliable; packets may be lost. Mitigation: sequence numbers and a small retry buffer on the ESP32 side.
+- Link-local addressing (169.254.x.x) limits the Seed to the same network segment as the ESP32. Multi-room deployments need one Seed per subnet or a routed bridge.
+- Drift detection thresholds require per-property tuning; a luxury resort has different movement patterns than a budget hotel.
+- The system cannot distinguish between guests in a multi-occupancy room without additional multi-target CSI clustering, which is experimental (ADR-064, Tier 3).

+# ADR-066: ESP32 CSI Swarm with Cognitum Seed Coordinator
+
+**Status:** Proposed
+**Date:** 2026-03-20
+**Deciders:** @ruvnet
+**Related:** ADR-065 (happiness scoring + Seed bridge), ADR-039 (edge intelligence), ADR-060 (provisioning), ADR-018 (CSI binary protocol), ADR-040 (WASM runtime)
+
+## Context
+
+ADR-065 established a single ESP32-S3 node pushing happiness vectors to a Cognitum Seed at `169.254.42.1` (Pi Zero 2 W, firmware 0.7.0). The Seed is now on the same WiFi network (`RedCloverWifi`, `10.1.10.236`) as the ESP32 node (`10.1.10.168`).
+
+The Seed already exposes REST APIs for:
+- Peer discovery (`/api/v1/peers`) — 0 peers currently registered
+- Delta sync (`/api/v1/delta/pull`, `/api/v1/delta/push`) — epoch-based replication
+- Reflex rules (`/api/v1/sensor/reflex/rules`) — 3 rules (fragility alarm, drift cutoff, HD anomaly indicator)
+- Actuators (`/api/v1/sensor/actuators`) — relay + PWM outputs
+- Cognitive engine (`/api/v1/cognitive/tick`) — periodic inference loop
+- Witness chain (`/api/v1/custody/epoch`) — epoch 316, cryptographically signed
+- kNN search (`/api/v1/store/search`) — similarity queries across the full vector store
+
+A hotel deployment requires multiple ESP32 nodes (lobby, hallway, restaurant, rooms) coordinated as a swarm with centralized analytics on the Seed.
+
+## Decision
+
+Implement a Seed-coordinated ESP32 swarm where each node operates autonomously for CSI sensing and edge processing, while the Seed serves as the swarm coordinator for registration, aggregation, drift detection, cross-zone inference, and actuator control.

+  }]
+}
+```
+
+#### 4. Cross-Zone Queries (Seed-side)
+
+The Seed can answer questions across the entire swarm:
+
+```
+POST /api/v1/store/search
+{"vector": [0.8, 0.7, 0.9, 0.8, 0.6, 0.7, 0.9, 0.5], "k": 5}
+
+Response: nearest neighbors across all zones, showing which
+rooms had the most similar mood to a "happy" reference vector.
+```
+
+#### 5. Reflex Rules for Swarm Patterns
+
+Configure the Seed's reflex engine to act on swarm-wide patterns:
+
+| Rule | Trigger | Action | Use Case |
+|------|---------|--------|----------|
+| `low_happiness_alert` | Mean happiness < 0.3 across 3+ nodes for 5 min | Activate `alarm` relay | Staff alert: guest dissatisfaction |
+| `crowd_surge` | Presence count > 10 across lobby + hallway | PWM indicator brightness 100% | Lobby congestion warning |
+| `zone_drift` | Drift score > 0.5 on any node | Log to witness chain | Trend change documentation |
+| `ghost_anomaly` | Event 650 (anomaly) from any node | Notify + log | Security: unexpected RF disturbance |
+
+### ESP32 Firmware: Swarm Bridge Module
+
+New module `swarm_bridge.c` added to the CSI firmware, activated via NVS config:
+
+```c
+typedef struct {
+    char     seed_url[64];       // e.g. "http://10.1.10.236"
+    char     zone_name[16];      // e.g. "lobby"
+    uint16_t heartbeat_sec;      // Default: 30
+    uint16_t ingest_sec;         // Default: 5
+    uint8_t  enabled;            // 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
+} swarm_config_t;
+```
+
+NVS keys (provisioned via `provision.py --seed-url http://10.1.10.236 --zone lobby`):
+
+| Key | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----|------|---------|-------------|
+| `seed_url` | string | (empty) | Seed base URL; empty = swarm disabled |
+| `zone_name` | string | `"default"` | Zone identifier for this node |
+| `swarm_hb` | u16 | 30 | Heartbeat interval (seconds) |
+| `swarm_ingest` | u16 | 5 | Vector ingest interval (seconds) |
+
+The swarm bridge runs as a FreeRTOS task on Core 0 (separate from DSP on Core 1):
+
+```
+swarm_bridge_task (Core 0, priority 3, stack 4096)
+  ├── On boot: POST registration to Seed
+  ├── Every 30s: POST heartbeat with latest happiness vector
+  ├── Every 5s (if presence): POST happiness vector
+  └── On event 650+ (anomaly): POST immediately
+```
+
+HTTP client uses `esp_http_client` (already in ESP-IDF, no extra dependencies). JSON is formatted with `snprintf` (no cJSON dependency needed for the small payloads).
+
+### Node Discovery and Addressing
+
+Nodes find the Seed via:
+
+1. **NVS provisioned URL** (primary) — `provision.py --seed-url http://10.1.10.236`
+2. **mDNS fallback** — Seed advertises `_cognitum._tcp.local`; ESP32 resolves `cognitum.local`
+3. **Link-local fallback** — `http://169.254.42.1` when connected via USB
+
+### Vector ID Scheme
+
+```
+{node_id}-{type}-{epoch}-{timestamp_ms}
+```
+
+Examples:
+- `1-reg` — Node 1 registration
+- `1-hb-316` — Node 1 heartbeat at epoch 316
+- `1-h-316-1742486400000` — Node 1 happiness vector at epoch 316, timestamp T
+- `2-h-316-1742486401000` — Node 2 happiness vector at same epoch
+
+### Witness Chain Integration
+
+Every vector ingested into the Seed increments the epoch and extends the witness chain. The chain provides:
+
+- **Per-node audit trail** — filter by node_id metadata to get one node's history
+- **Tamper detection** — Ed25519 signed, hash-chained; break = detectable
+- **Regulatory compliance** — prove "sensor X reported Y at time Z" for disputes
+- **Cross-node ordering** — Seed epoch gives total order across all nodes
+
+### Scaling Considerations
+
+| Nodes | Vectors/hour | Seed storage/day | kNN latency |
+|-------|---|---|---|
+| 1 | 720 | ~1.5 MB | < 1 ms |
+| 5 | 3,600 | ~7.5 MB | < 2 ms |
+| 10 | 7,200 | ~15 MB | < 5 ms |
+| 20 | 14,400 | ~30 MB | < 10 ms |
+
+The Seed's Pi Zero 2 W has 512 MB RAM and typically an 8-32 GB SD card. At 30 MB/day for 20 nodes, storage lasts 250+ days before compaction is needed. The Seed's optimizer runs automatic compaction in the background.
+
+### Provisioning for Swarm
+
+```bash
+# Node 1: Lobby (COM5, existing)
+python provision.py --port COM5 \
+    --ssid "RedCloverWifi" --password "redclover2.4" \
+    --node-id 1 --seed-url "http://10.1.10.236" --zone "lobby"
+
+# Node 2: Hallway (future device)
+python provision.py --port COM6 \
+    --ssid "RedCloverWifi" --password "redclover2.4" \
+    --node-id 2 --seed-url "http://10.1.10.236" --zone "hallway"
+
+# Node 3: Restaurant (future device)
+python provision.py --port COM8 \
+    --ssid "RedCloverWifi" --password "redclover2.4" \
+    --node-id 3 --seed-url "http://10.1.10.236" --zone "restaurant"
+```
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- **Zero infrastructure** — no cloud, no server, no database. Seed + ESP32s + WiFi router is the entire stack
+- **Autonomous nodes** — each ESP32 runs full Tier 2 DSP independently; Seed loss degrades gracefully to local-only operation
+- **Cryptographic audit** — witness chain gives tamper-proof history for every observation across all nodes
+- **Real-time cross-zone analytics** — Seed kNN search answers "which zones are happy/stressed right now" in < 5 ms
+- **Physical actuators** — Seed's relay/PWM outputs can trigger real-world actions (lights, alarms, displays) based on swarm-wide patterns
+- **Horizontal scaling** — add ESP32 nodes by flashing firmware + running provision.py; no Seed reconfiguration needed
+- **Privacy-preserving** — no cameras, no audio, no PII; only 8-dimensional feature vectors stored
+
+### Negative
+
+- **Single point of aggregation** — Seed failure loses cross-zone analytics (nodes continue autonomously)
+- **WiFi dependency** — nodes must be on the same network as the Seed; no mesh/LoRa fallback yet
+- **HTTP overhead** — REST/JSON adds ~200 bytes overhead per vector vs raw binary UDP; acceptable at 5-second intervals
+- **Pi Zero 2 W limits** — 512 MB RAM, single-core ARM; adequate for 20 nodes but not 100+
+- **No WASM OTA via Seed** — currently WASM modules are uploaded per-node; future work could use Seed as WASM distribution hub
+
+### Implementation Progress
+
+**ADR-069** implements the first stage of this swarm vision with live hardware validation (2026-04-02). A single ESP32-S3 node (COM9, firmware v0.5.2) was validated sending CSI-derived feature vectors through a host-side bridge into the Cognitum Seed's RVF store (firmware v0.8.1). The pipeline confirmed: UDP streaming (211 packets/15s), 8-dim feature extraction, batched HTTPS ingest (4 batches of 5 vectors), and witness chain integrity (193 entries, SHA-256 verified). Multi-node deployment (Phase 4 of ADR-069) is the next step toward the full swarm architecture described here.
+
+### Future Work
+
+- **Seed-initiated WASM push** — Seed distributes WASM modules to all nodes via their OTA endpoints
+- **mDNS auto-discovery** — nodes find Seed without provisioned URL
+- **Mesh fallback** — ESP-NOW peer-to-peer when WiFi is down
+- **Multi-Seed federation** — multiple Seeds for multi-floor/multi-building deployments
+- **Seed dashboard** — web UI on the Seed showing live swarm map with per-zone happiness

+# ADR-067: RuVector v2.0.4 to v2.0.5 Upgrade + New Crate Adoption
+
+**Status:** Proposed
+**Date:** 2026-03-23
+**Deciders:** @ruvnet
+**Related:** ADR-016 (RuVector training pipeline integration), ADR-017 (RuVector signal + MAT integration), ADR-029 (RuvSense multistatic sensing)
+
+## Context
+
+RuView currently pins all five core RuVector crates at **v2.0.4** (from crates.io) plus a vendored `ruvector-crv` v0.1.1 and optional `ruvector-gnn` v2.0.5. The upstream RuVector workspace has moved to **v2.0.5** with meaningful improvements to the crates we depend on, and has introduced new crates that could benefit RuView's detection pipeline.
+
+### Current Integration Map
+
+| RuView Module | RuVector Crate | Current Version | Purpose |
+|---------------|----------------|-----------------|---------|
+| `signal/subcarrier.rs` | ruvector-mincut | 2.0.4 | Graph min-cut subcarrier partitioning |
+| `signal/spectrogram.rs` | ruvector-attn-mincut | 2.0.4 | Attention-gated spectrogram denoising |
+| `signal/bvp.rs` | ruvector-attention | 2.0.4 | Attention-weighted BVP aggregation |
+| `signal/fresnel.rs` | ruvector-solver | 2.0.4 | Fresnel geometry estimation |
+| `mat/triangulation.rs` | ruvector-solver | 2.0.4 | TDoA survivor localization |
+| `mat/breathing.rs` | ruvector-temporal-tensor | 2.0.4 | Tiered compressed breathing buffer |
+| `mat/heartbeat.rs` | ruvector-temporal-tensor | 2.0.4 | Tiered compressed heartbeat spectrogram |
+| `viewpoint/*` (4 files) | ruvector-attention | 2.0.4 | Cross-viewpoint fusion with geometric bias |
+| `crv/` (optional) | ruvector-crv | 0.1.1 (vendored) | CRV protocol integration |
+| `crv/` (optional) | ruvector-gnn | 2.0.5 | GNN graph topology |
+
+### What Changed Upstream (v2.0.4 → v2.0.5 → HEAD)
+
+**ruvector-mincut:**
+- Flat capacity matrix + allocation reuse — **10-30% faster** for all min-cut operations
+- Tier 2-3 Dynamic MinCut (ADR-124): Gomory-Hu tree construction for fast global min-cut, incremental edge insert/delete without full recomputation
+- Source-anchored canonical min-cut with SHA-256 witness hashing
+- Fixed: unsafe indexing removed, WASM Node.js panic from `std::time`
+
+**ruvector-attention / ruvector-attn-mincut:**
+- Migrated to workspace versioning (no API changes)
+- Documentation improvements
+
+**ruvector-temporal-tensor:**
+- Formatting fixes only (no API changes)
+
+**ruvector-gnn:**
+- Panic replaced with `Result` in `MultiHeadAttention` and `RuvectorLayer` constructors (breaking improvement — safer)
+- Bumped to v2.0.5
+
+**sona (new — Self-Optimizing Neural Architecture):**
+- v0.1.6 → v0.1.8: state persistence (`loadState`/`saveState`), trajectory counter fix
+- Micro-LoRA and Base-LoRA for instant and background learning
+- EWC++ (Elastic Weight Consolidation) to prevent catastrophic forgetting
+- ReasoningBank pattern extraction and similarity search
+- WASM support for edge devices
+
+**ruvector-coherence (new):**
+- Spectral coherence scoring for graph index health
+- Fiedler eigenvalue estimation, effective resistance sampling
+- HNSW health monitoring with alerts
+- Batch evaluation of attention mechanism quality
+
+**ruvector-core (new):**
+- ONNX embedding support for real semantic embeddings
+- HNSW index with SIMD-accelerated distance metrics
+- Quantization (4-32x memory reduction)
+- Arena allocator for cache-optimized operations
+
+## Decision
+
+### Phase 1: Version Bump (Low Risk)
+
+Bump the 5 core crates from v2.0.4 to v2.0.5 in the workspace `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+ruvector-mincut = "2.0.5"        # was 2.0.4 — 10-30% faster, safer
+ruvector-attn-mincut = "2.0.5"   # was 2.0.4 — workspace versioning
+ruvector-temporal-tensor = "2.0.5" # was 2.0.4 — fmt only
+ruvector-solver = "2.0.5"        # was 2.0.4 — workspace versioning
+ruvector-attention = "2.0.5"     # was 2.0.4 — workspace versioning
+```
+
+**Expected impact:** The mincut performance improvement directly benefits `signal/subcarrier.rs` which runs subcarrier graph partitioning every tick. 10-30% faster partitioning reduces per-frame CPU cost.
+
+### Phase 2: Add ruvector-coherence (Medium Value)
+
+Add `ruvector-coherence` with `spectral` feature to `wifi-densepose-ruvector`:
+
+**Use case:** Replace or augment the custom phase coherence logic in `viewpoint/coherence.rs` with spectral graph coherence scoring. The current implementation uses phasor magnitude for phase coherence — spectral Fiedler estimation would provide a more robust measure of multi-node CSI consistency, especially for detecting when a node's signal quality degrades.
+
+**Integration point:** `viewpoint/coherence.rs` — add `SpectralCoherenceScore` as a secondary coherence metric alongside existing phase phasor coherence. Use spectral gap estimation to detect structural changes in the multi-node CSI graph (e.g., a node dropping out or a new reflector appearing).
+
+### Phase 3: Add SONA for Adaptive Learning (High Value)
+
+Replace the logistic regression adaptive classifier in the sensing server with a SONA-backed learning engine:
+
+**Current state:** The sensing server's adaptive training (`POST /api/v1/adaptive/train`) uses a hand-rolled logistic regression on 15 CSI features. It requires explicit labeled recordings and provides no cross-session persistence.
+
+**Proposed improvement:** Use `sona::SonaEngine` to:
+1. **Learn from implicit feedback** — trajectory tracking on person-count decisions (was the count stable? did the user correct it?)
+2. **Persist across sessions** — `saveState()`/`loadState()` replaces the current `adaptive_model.json`
+3. **Pattern matching** — `find_patterns()` enables "this CSI signature looks like room X where we learned Y"
+4. **Prevent forgetting** — EWC++ ensures learning in a new room doesn't overwrite patterns from previous rooms
+
+**Integration point:** New `adaptive_sona.rs` module in `wifi-densepose-sensing-server`, behind a `sona` feature flag. The existing logistic regression remains the default.
+
+### Phase 4: Evaluate ruvector-core for CSI Embeddings (Exploratory)
+
+**Current state:** The person detection pipeline uses hand-crafted features (variance, change_points, motion_band_power, spectral_power) with fixed normalization ranges.
+
+**Potential:** Use `ruvector-core`'s ONNX embedding support to generate learned CSI embeddings that capture room geometry, person count, and activity patterns in a single vector. This would enable:
+- Similarity search: "is this CSI frame similar to known 2-person patterns?"
+- Transfer learning: embeddings learned in one room partially transfer to similar rooms
+- Quantized storage: 4-32x memory reduction for pattern databases
+
+**Status:** Exploratory — requires training data collection and embedding model design. Not a near-term target.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- **Phase 1:** Free 10-30% performance gain in subcarrier partitioning. Security fixes (unsafe indexing, WASM panic). Zero API changes required.
+- **Phase 2:** More robust multi-node coherence detection. Helps with the "flickering persons" issue (#292) by providing a second opinion on signal quality.
+- **Phase 3:** Fundamentally improves the adaptive learning pipeline. Users no longer need to manually record labeled data — the system learns from ongoing use.
+- **Phase 4:** Path toward real ML-based detection instead of heuristic thresholds.
+
+### Negative
+- **Phase 1:** Minimal risk — semver minor bump, no API breaks.
+- **Phase 2:** Adds a dependency. Spectral computation has O(n) cost per tick for Fiedler estimation (n = number of subcarriers, typically 56-128). Acceptable.
+- **Phase 3:** SONA adds ~200KB to the binary. The learning loop needs careful tuning to avoid adapting to noise.
+- **Phase 4:** Requires significant research and training data. Not guaranteed to outperform tuned heuristics for WiFi CSI.
+
+### Risks
+- `ruvector-gnn` v2.0.5 changed constructors from panic to `Result` — any existing `crv` feature users need to handle the `Result`. Our vendored `ruvector-crv` may need updates.
+- SONA's WASM support is experimental — keep it behind a feature flag until validated.
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+| Phase | Scope | Effort | Priority |
+|-------|-------|--------|----------|
+| 1 | Bump 5 crates to v2.0.5 | 1 hour | High — free perf + security |
+| 2 | Add ruvector-coherence | 1 day | Medium — improves multi-node stability |
+| 3 | SONA adaptive learning | 3 days | Medium — replaces manual training workflow |
+| 4 | CSI embeddings via ruvector-core | 1-2 weeks | Low — exploratory research |
+
+## Vendor Submodule
+
+The `vendor/ruvector` git submodule has been updated from commit `f8f2c60` (v2.0.4 era) to `51a3557` (latest `origin/main`). This provides local reference for the full upstream source when developing Phases 2-4.

+
+## Context
+
+The sensing server (`wifi-densepose-sensing-server`) was originally designed for
+single-node operation. When multiple ESP32 nodes send CSI frames simultaneously,
+all data is mixed into a single shared pipeline:
+
+- **One** `frame_history` VecDeque for all nodes
+- **One** `smoothed_person_score` / `smoothed_motion` / vital sign buffers
+- **One** baseline and debounce state
+
+This means the classification, person count, and vital signs reported to the UI
+are an uncontrolled aggregate of all nodes' data. The result: the detection
+window shows identical output regardless of how many nodes are deployed, where
+people stand, or how many people are in the room (#249 — 24 comments, the most
+reported issue).
+
+### Root Cause Verified
+
+Investigation of `AppStateInner` (main.rs lines 279-367) confirmed:
+
+| Shared field              | Impact                                     |
+|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
+| `frame_history`           | Temporal analysis mixes all nodes' CSI data |
+| `smoothed_person_score`   | Person count aggregates all nodes           |
+| `smoothed_motion`         | Motion classification undifferentiated      |
+| `smoothed_hr` / `br`     | Vital signs are global, not per-node        |
+| `baseline_motion`         | Adaptive baseline learned from mixed data   |
+| `debounce_counter`        | All nodes share debounce state              |
+
+## Decision
+
+Introduce **per-node state tracking** via a `HashMap<u8, NodeState>` in
+`AppStateInner`. Each ESP32 node (identified by its `node_id` byte) gets an
+independent sensing pipeline with its own temporal history, smoothing buffers,
+baseline, and classification state.

+struct NodeState {
+    frame_history: VecDeque<Vec<f64>>,
+    smoothed_person_score: f64,
+    prev_person_count: usize,
+    smoothed_motion: f64,
+    current_motion_level: String,
+    debounce_counter: u32,
+    debounce_candidate: String,
+    baseline_motion: f64,
+    baseline_frames: u64,
+    smoothed_hr: f64,

+    latest_vitals: VitalSigns,
+    last_frame_time: Option<std::time::Instant>,
+    edge_vitals: Option<Esp32VitalsPacket>,
+}
+```
+
+### Multi-Node Aggregation
+
+- **Person count**: Sum of per-node `prev_person_count` for active nodes
+  (seen within last 10 seconds).
+- **Classification**: Per-node classification included in `SensingUpdate.nodes`.
+- **Vital signs**: Per-node vital signs; UI can render per-node or aggregate.
+- **Signal field**: Generated from the most-recently-updated node's features.
+- **Stale nodes**: Nodes with no frame for >10 seconds are excluded from
+  aggregation and marked offline (consistent with PR #300).
+
+### Backward Compatibility
+
+- The simulated data path (`simulated_data_task`) continues using global state.
+- Single-node deployments behave identically (HashMap has one entry).
+- The WebSocket message format (`sensing_update`) remains the same but the
+  `nodes` array now contains all active nodes, and `estimated_persons` reflects
+  the cross-node aggregate.
+- The edge vitals path (#323 fix) also uses per-node state.

+Memory is dominated by `frame_history` (100 frames x ~500 bytes each = ~50 KB
+per node). This scales linearly and fits comfortably in server memory even at
+256 nodes.
+
+## QEMU Validation
+
+The existing QEMU swarm infrastructure (ADR-062, `scripts/qemu_swarm.py`)
+supports multi-node simulation with configurable topologies:
+
+- `star`: Central coordinator + sensor nodes
+- `mesh`: Fully connected peer network
+- `line`: Sequential chain
+- `ring`: Circular topology
+
+Each QEMU instance runs with a unique `node_id` via NVS provisioning. The
+swarm health validator (`scripts/swarm_health.py`) checks per-node UART output.
+
+Validation plan:
+1. QEMU swarm with 3-5 nodes in mesh topology
+2. Verify server produces distinct per-node classifications
+3. Verify aggregate person count reflects multi-node contributions
+4. Verify stale-node eviction after timeout
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Each node's CSI data is processed independently — no cross-contamination
+- Person count scales with the number of deployed nodes
+- Vital signs are per-node, enabling room-level health monitoring
+- Foundation for spatial localization (per-node positions + triangulation)
+- Scales to 256 nodes with <13 MB memory overhead
+
+### Negative
+- Slightly more memory per node (~50 KB each)
+- `smooth_and_classify_node` function duplicates some logic from global version
+- Per-node `VitalSignDetector` instances add CPU cost proportional to node count
+
+### Risks
+- Node ID collisions (mitigated by NVS persistence since v0.5.0)
+- HashMap growth without cleanup (mitigated by stale-node eviction)
+
+## Related ADRs
+
+- **ADR-069** (ESP32 CSI → Cognitum Seed RVF Ingest Pipeline) extends this ADR's per-node state architecture with Cognitum Seed integration. Live hardware validation (2026-04-02) confirmed per-node feature vectors flowing through the bridge into the Seed's RVF store with witness chain attestation.

+
+## Context
+
+The wifi-densepose project has two hardware components that need to work as an integrated sensing pipeline:
+
+1. **ESP32-S3** (COM9 / 192.168.1.105) — Captures WiFi CSI at 100 Hz, runs dual-core DSP pipeline (phase extraction, subcarrier selection, breathing/heart rate estimation, presence/fall detection), and sends ADR-018 binary frames via UDP.
+
+2. **Cognitum Seed** (USB / 169.254.42.1 / 192.168.1.109) — A Pi Zero 2 W edge intelligence appliance running firmware v0.8.1. It provides:
+   - **RVF vector store** — Append-only binary format with content-addressed IDs, kNN queries (cosine/L2/dot), and kNN graph with boundary analysis
+   - **Witness chain** — SHA-256 tamper-evident audit trail for every write operation
+   - **Ed25519 custody** — Device-bound keypair for cryptographic attestation
+   - **Sensor pipeline** — 5 sensors (reed switch, PIR, vibration, ADS1115 4-ch ADC, BME280), 13 drift detectors, anti-spoofing
+   - **Cognitive container** — Spectral graph analysis with Stoer-Wagner min-cut fragility scoring
+   - **MCP proxy** — 114 tools via JSON-RPC 2.0 for AI assistant integration
+   - **Thermal governor** — DVFS management with zone-based frequency scaling
+   - **Temporal coherence** — Phase boundary detection across vector store evolution
+   - **Swarm sync** — Epoch-based delta replication between peers
+   - **Reflex rules** — 3 rules (fragility alarm, drift cutoff, HD anomaly indicator)
+   - **98 HTTPS API endpoints** with per-client bearer token authentication
+
+### Current State
+
+| Component | Status | Details |
+|-----------|--------|---------|
+| ESP32 CSI capture | Working | 100 Hz, ADR-018 binary frames via UDP |
+| ESP32 edge DSP | Working | 10-stage pipeline on Core 1 (phase, variance, vitals, fall) |
+| ESP32 → sensing-server | Working | UDP port 5005, binary protocol |
+| Cognitum Seed | Online | v0.8.1, paired, 19 vectors, epoch 25, WiFi connected |

+| ESP32 → Seed pipeline | **Validated** | Bridge on host laptop, UDP 5006 → HTTPS ingest (see Validation Results) |
+
+### Gap Analysis (from Arena Physica research)
+
+Arena Physica's approach (Heaviside-0 forward model, Marconi-0 inverse diffusion) demonstrates that neural surrogates for Maxwell's equations are production-viable. Our research identified that:
+
+1. **Physics-informed intermediate supervision** — Evaluating pipeline stages independently catches failures that end-to-end metrics miss
+2. **Vector embeddings for EM fields** — Storing CSI features as vectors enables similarity search for environment fingerprinting and anomaly detection
+3. **Witness chain for sensing integrity** — Tamper-evident audit trails are critical for healthcare/safety applications (fall detection, vital signs)
+4. **Edge compute for inference** — Pi Zero 2 W can run ~2.5M parameter models at 10+ Hz with INT8 quantization
+
+### Problem
+
+There is no pipeline connecting ESP32 CSI sensing to the Cognitum Seed's vector store. The ESP32 sends raw CSI frames to the Rust sensing-server (typically running on a laptop/desktop), but cannot leverage the Seed's:
+- Persistent vector storage with kNN search
+- Cryptographic witness chain for data integrity
+- Cognitive container for structural analysis
+- Sensor fusion with environmental sensors (BME280 temperature/humidity, PIR motion)
+- Swarm sync for multi-Seed deployments
+
+## Decision
+
+Build a three-stage pipeline connecting ESP32 CSI capture to Cognitum Seed RVF storage:

+
+### Stage 1: ESP32 Feature Vector Extraction
+
+The ESP32 edge processing pipeline (Core 1) already computes all signals needed. We add a compact 8-dimensional feature vector extracted from the existing DSP outputs:
+
+| Dimension | Feature | Source | Range |
+|-----------|---------|--------|-------|
+| 0 | Presence score | `s_presence_score / 10.0` (clamped) | 0.0–1.0 |
+| 1 | Motion energy | `s_motion_energy / 10.0` (clamped) | 0.0–1.0 |
+| 2 | Breathing rate | `s_breathing_bpm / 30.0` (clamped) | 0.0–1.0 |
+| 3 | Heart rate | `s_heartrate_bpm / 120.0` (clamped) | 0.0–1.0 |
+| 4 | Phase variance (mean) | Top-K subcarrier Welford variance mean | 0.0–1.0 |
+| 5 | Person count | `n_active_persons / 4.0` (clamped) | 0.0–1.0 |
+| 6 | Fall detected | Binary: 1.0 if `s_fall_detected`, else 0.0 | 0.0 or 1.0 |
+| 7 | RSSI (normalized) | `(s_latest_rssi + 100) / 100` (clamped) | 0.0–1.0 |
+
+This maps directly to the Seed's store dimension of 8, enabling kNN queries like "find the 10 most similar sensing states to the current one."
+
+**Packet format** (magic `0xC5110003`, defined as `edge_feature_pkt_t` in `edge_processing.h`):
+
+```c
+typedef struct __attribute__((packed)) {
+    uint32_t magic;          // EDGE_FEATURE_MAGIC = 0xC5110003
+    uint8_t  node_id;        // ESP32 node identifier
+    uint8_t  reserved;       // alignment padding
+    uint16_t seq;            // sequence number
+    int64_t  timestamp_us;   // microseconds since boot
+    float    features[8];    // 8-dim normalized feature vector (32 bytes)
+} edge_feature_pkt_t;        // Total: 48 bytes (static_assert enforced)
+```
+
+**Transmission rate:** 1 Hz (one feature vector per second, aggregated from 100 Hz CSI). This keeps UDP bandwidth under 50 bytes/s per node and avoids overwhelming the Seed's vector store.
+
+### Stage 2: Seed-Side RVF Ingest
+
+A lightweight Rust service on the Seed (or a Python bridge script) listens for feature packets on UDP port 5006 and ingests them via the Seed's REST API:
+
+```bash
+# Ingest a feature vector with metadata
+curl -sk -X POST https://169.254.42.1:8443/api/v1/store/ingest \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "vectors": [[0, [0.85, 0.3, 0.52, 0.65, 0.4, 0.78, 0.1, -0.45]]],
+    "metadata": {
+      "node_id": 1,
+      "type": "csi_feature",
+      "timestamp": 1775166970
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+**Batching:** Accumulate 10 vectors (10 seconds) per ingest call to reduce HTTP overhead (`--batch-size 10` default in `seed_csi_bridge.py`; also supports time-based flushing via `--flush-interval`). At 1 vector/second per node, a 4-node mesh generates 14,400 vectors/hour (345,600/day). Daily compaction is required to stay within the Seed's 100K vector working set (see Storage Budget).
+
+**Witness chain:** Each ingest automatically appends a witness entry, providing a tamper-evident record of all sensing data. The epoch increments monotonically, and the SHA-256 chain can be verified at any time via `POST /api/v1/witness/verify`.
+
+### Stage 3: Cognitive Analysis & Sensor Fusion
+
+Once CSI feature vectors are in the RVF store, the Seed's existing subsystems activate:
+
+1. **kNN Graph** — Rebuilt every 10 seconds. Similar sensing states cluster together. Anomalous states (intruder, fall, unusual breathing) appear as outliers.
+
+2. **Boundary Analysis** — Stoer-Wagner min-cut computes a fragility score (0.0–1.0). High fragility indicates the vector space is splitting — a regime change in the environment (door opened, person entered/left, HVAC state change).
+
+3. **Temporal Coherence** — Phase boundary detection across the vector store timeline identifies when the environment transitions between states (occupied → empty, day → night, normal → abnormal).
+
+4. **Reflex Rules** — Three pre-configured rules fire automatically:
+   - `fragility_alarm` (threshold 0.3) → relay actuator for presence alert
+   - `drift_cutoff` (threshold 1.0) → cutoff when sensor drift detected
+   - `hd_anomaly_indicator` (threshold 200) → PWM brightness for anomaly severity
+
+5. **Sensor Fusion** — The Seed's BME280 (temperature/humidity/pressure) and PIR sensor provide environmental ground truth that correlates with CSI features:
+   - PIR motion validates CSI presence detection
+   - Temperature changes correlate with occupancy
+   - Humidity changes correlate with breathing detection fidelity
+
+6. **MCP Integration** — AI assistants can query the full pipeline via the 114-tool MCP proxy:
+   ```json
+   {"method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "seed.memory.query", "arguments": {"vector": [0.8, 0.5, 0.4, 0.6, 0.3, 0.7, 0.1, -0.3], "k": 5}}}
+   ```
+
+### ESP32 Provisioning
+
+The ESP32's existing NVS provisioning system supports configuring the Seed as the target:
+
+```bash
+python firmware/esp32-csi-node/provision.py \
+  --port COM9 \
+  --target-ip 192.168.1.20 \
+  --target-port 5006 \
+  --node-id 1
+```
+
+Note: `--target-ip` is the host laptop (192.168.1.20), not the Seed IP, because the bridge runs on the host and forwards to the Seed via HTTPS (see Known Issue 4).
+
+No firmware recompilation needed — the `stream_sender` module reads target IP/port from NVS at boot.
+
+### Data Flow Rates
+
+| Path | Rate | Size | Bandwidth |
+|------|------|------|-----------|
+| CSI capture → ring buffer | 100 Hz | ~400 B | 40 KB/s (internal) |
+| Edge DSP → sensing-server | 100 Hz | ~200 B | 20 KB/s (existing) |
+| Edge DSP → Seed features | 1 Hz | 48 B | 48 B/s (new) |
+| Seed ingest (batched) | 0.1 Hz | ~500 B | 50 B/s (HTTP) |
+| Seed kNN graph rebuild | 0.1 Hz | internal | — |
+| Seed witness chain | per batch | 32 B hash | — |
+
+### Storage Budget
+
+| Timeframe | Vectors/node | 4 nodes | RVF size | RAM |
+|-----------|-------------|---------|----------|-----|
+| 1 hour | 3,600 | 14,400 | ~580 KB | ~6 MB |
+| 24 hours | 86,400 | 345,600 | ~14 MB | ~140 MB |
+| 7 days | 604,800 | 2,419,200 | ~97 MB | exceeds |
+
+**Compaction policy:** Run `POST /api/v1/store/compact` daily at 03:00, retaining only the last 24 hours of vectors. Archive older vectors to USB drive via `POST /api/v1/store/export` before compaction.
+
+**Dimension reduction:** For deployments exceeding 100K vectors, reduce feature extraction rate to 0.1 Hz (one vector per 10 seconds) or increase compaction frequency.
+
+## Validation Results
+
+**Live hardware test performed 2026-04-02.**
+
+### Hardware Under Test
+
+| Component | Port | IP | Firmware | WiFi | RSSI |
+|-----------|------|----|----------|------|------|
+| ESP32-S3 (8MB) | COM9 | 192.168.1.105 | v0.5.2 | ruv.net (ch 5) | -34 dBm |
+| Cognitum Seed | USB | 169.254.42.1 / 192.168.1.109 | v0.8.1 | ruv.net | — |
+| Host laptop | — | 192.168.1.20 | — | ruv.net | — |
+
+Seed device_id: `ecaf97dd-fc90-4b0e-b0e7-e9f896b9fbb6`. Pairing token issued to `wifi-densepose-claude`.
+
+### Pipeline Validated
+
+1. **UDP streaming** -- 211 packets captured in 15 seconds:
+   - 196 raw CSI frames (magic `0xC5110001`)
+   - 15 vitals frames (magic `0xC5110002`)
+
+2. **Bridge pipeline** -- 20 vitals packets (`0xC5110002`) parsed, converted to 8-dim feature vectors via the bridge's `parse_vitals_packet()` fallback path, ingested in 4 batches of 5 vectors each (`--batch-size 5`). The native `0xC5110003` feature packet path is implemented in firmware but was not exercised in this validation run (firmware was v0.5.2; the `send_feature_vector()` addition requires a reflash).
+
+3. **RVF ingest** -- All 20 vectors accepted by Seed. Epochs advanced 88 to 91. Witness chain verified valid (193 entries, SHA-256 chain intact).
+
+4. **Seed sensors** -- BME280, PIR, reed switch, ADS1115, vibration sensor all present and healthy.
+
+### Live Vital Signs Captured
+
+| Metric | Observed Range | Expected | Notes |
+|--------|---------------|----------|-------|
+| Presence score | 1.41 -- 14.92 | 0.0 -- 1.0 | **Needs normalization** (see Known Issues) |
+| Motion energy | 1.41 -- 14.92 | 0.0 -- 1.0 | Same raw value as presence score |
+| Breathing rate | 19.8 -- 33.5 BPM | 12 -- 25 BPM | Plausible but slightly high |
+| Heart rate | 75.3 -- 99.1 BPM | 60 -- 100 BPM | Plausible range |
+| RSSI | -43 to -72 dBm | -30 to -80 dBm | Normal |
+| Fall detected | No | — | Correct (no falls occurred) |
+| n_persons | 4 | 1 | **Miscalibrated** (see Known Issues) |
+
+### Known Issues Found
+
+1. **`presence_score` exceeds 1.0 in vitals packets** -- Raw values range 1.41 to 14.92 in the vitals packet (`0xC5110002`). The bridge's vitals-to-feature conversion clamps to 1.0 for dim 0 and divides by 10.0 for dim 1 (`motion_energy / 10.0`), but dim 0 clamps without scaling. **Note:** The firmware's native feature vector (`0xC5110003`) already normalizes correctly by dividing `s_presence_score` by 10.0 (see `edge_processing.c` line 657). This issue only affects the vitals-packet fallback path in the bridge.
+
+2. **`n_persons = 4` with 1 person present** -- The multi-person counting algorithm is miscalibrated for single-occupancy scenarios. The per-node state pipeline (ADR-068) may mitigate this when the baseline is properly trained, but the raw edge count is unreliable.
+
+3. **Content-addressed vector IDs cause deduplication** -- Similar feature vectors hash to the same ID, causing the Seed to silently drop duplicates. **Fixed in bridge:** `seed_csi_bridge.py` now uses `_make_vector_id()` which generates a SHA-256 hash of `node_id:timestamp_us:seq_counter`, producing unique 32-bit IDs. This was observed during validation and fixed before the final test run.
+
+4. **Bridge runs on host, not Seed** -- The ESP32 target IP must be the host laptop (192.168.1.20), not the Seed IP. The bridge script on the host forwards to the Seed via HTTPS. This adds a hop but avoids running a UDP listener on the Pi Zero 2 W.
+
+5. **PIR GPIO read returned 404** -- `GET /api/v1/sensor/gpio/read?pin=6` returned 404. The PIR endpoint may require a different pin number or endpoint format. Ground-truth validation against PIR is deferred to Phase 3.
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: ESP32 Feature Extraction (firmware change) -- DONE
+
+Implemented as `send_feature_vector()` in `edge_processing.c` (lines 644-699) and `edge_feature_pkt_t` in `edge_processing.h` (lines 112-124). The function reads from static globals (`s_presence_score`, `s_motion_energy`, `s_breathing_bpm`, `s_heartrate_bpm`, subcarrier Welford variance, person tracker, fall flag, RSSI) and normalizes each dimension to 0.0-1.0 with clamping.
+
+Called at the same 1 Hz cadence as `send_vitals_packet()` in Step 13 of the edge processing pipeline (line 855). The compressed frame magic was reassigned from `0xC5110003` to `0xC5110005` to free up `0xC5110003` for feature vectors (`EDGE_COMPRESSED_MAGIC` in `edge_processing.h` line 29).
+
+### Phase 2: Seed Ingest Bridge (Python script on host) -- DONE
+
+Implemented as `scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py`. The bridge:
+1. Listens on UDP port 5006 (configurable via `--udp-port`)
+2. Accepts all three packet formats: `0xC5110003` (ADR-069 features), `0xC5110002` (vitals, converted to 8-dim), and `0xC5110001` (raw CSI, minimal features)
+3. Generates unique vector IDs via SHA-256 hash of `node_id:timestamp:seq` (avoids content-addressed deduplication -- see Known Issue 3)
+4. Batches vectors (default 10, configurable via `--batch-size`) with time-based flush fallback (`--flush-interval`)
+5. POSTs to Seed's `/api/v1/store/ingest` with bearer token
+6. Supports `--validate` mode (kNN query + PIR comparison after each batch)
+7. Supports `--stats` mode (print Seed status, boundary, coherence, graph)
+8. Supports `--compact` mode (trigger store compaction)
+
+### Phase 3: Validation & Ground Truth -- BLOCKED
+
+Use the Seed's PIR sensor as ground truth for presence detection:
+1. Query PIR state: `GET /api/v1/sensor/gpio/read?pin=6`
+2. Compare with CSI presence score (feature dim 0)
+3. Log agreement/disagreement rate
+4. Use kNN to find historical vectors matching current PIR state → validate CSI accuracy
+
+**Status:** The bridge implements `--validate` mode with PIR comparison (see `_run_validation()` in `seed_csi_bridge.py`). However, the PIR endpoint returned 404 during validation (Known Issue 5). This phase is blocked until the correct PIR API endpoint is identified.
+
+### Phase 4: Multi-Node Mesh (addresses #348)
+
+Deploy 3 ESP32 nodes, each sending feature vectors to the bridge host (which forwards to the Seed):
+- Node 1 (lobby): `--node-id 1 --target-ip 192.168.1.20 --target-port 5006`
+- Node 2 (hallway): `--node-id 2 --target-ip 192.168.1.20 --target-port 5006`
+- Node 3 (room): `--node-id 3 --target-ip 192.168.1.20 --target-port 5006`
+
+All nodes target the host laptop (192.168.1.20) where the bridge script runs. The bridge batches and forwards all nodes' vectors to the Seed via HTTPS. The Seed's kNN graph naturally clusters vectors by node and by sensing state. Cross-node analysis via boundary fragility detects when a person moves between zones.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Bearer token** — All write operations require the pairing token. Token stored as SHA-256 hash on device.
+2. **TLS** — All API calls over HTTPS (port 8443) with device-provisioned CA certificate.
+3. **Witness chain** — Every ingest is cryptographically chained. Tampering detection via `POST /api/v1/witness/verify`.
+4. **Ed25519 attestation** — Device identity bound to hardware keypair. Attestation includes epoch, vector count, and witness head.
+5. **Anti-spoofing** — Sensor pipeline has entropy-based spoofing detection (min 0.5 bits entropy, streak threshold 3).
+6. **USB-only pairing** — Pairing window can only be opened from USB interface (169.254.42.1), not from WiFi.

+| Component | Port | IP | Cost |
+|-----------|------|----|------|
+| ESP32-S3 (8MB) | COM9 | 192.168.1.105 (DHCP) | ~$9 |
+| Cognitum Seed (Pi Zero 2W) | USB | 169.254.42.1 / 192.168.1.109 | ~$15 |
+| USB-C cable (data) | — | — | ~$3 |
+| **Total** | | | **~$27** |
+
+### Seed Sensors (included)
+
+| Sensor | Interface | Channels | Purpose |
+|--------|-----------|----------|---------|
+| Reed switch | GPIO 5 | 1 | Door/window state |
+| PIR motion | GPIO 6 | 1 | Motion ground truth |
+| Vibration | GPIO 13 | 1 | Structural vibration |
+| ADS1115 | I2C 0x48 | 4 | Analog inputs (extensible) |

+
+## Risks
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|--------|------------|
+| Pi Zero thermal throttling at sustained ingest | Medium | Performance degrades | Thermal governor already manages DVFS; 1 Hz ingest is minimal load |
+| WiFi congestion with ESP32 CSI + UDP | Low | Lost packets | Feature vectors are 48 bytes at 1 Hz; negligible vs CSI traffic |
+| RVF store exceeds RAM at high vector count | Medium | OOM | Compaction policy + dimension reduction + daily export |
+| Bearer token exposure | Low | Unauthorized writes | TLS encryption + USB-only pairing + token hashing |
+| ESP32 NVS corruption | Low | Config lost | NVS is wear-leveled flash with CRC; re-provision via USB |
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- ESP32 CSI features become persistent, searchable, and cryptographically attested
+- kNN similarity search enables environment fingerprinting and anomaly detection
+- PIR + BME280 provide ground truth for CSI validation
+- MCP proxy enables AI assistants to query sensing state directly
+- Witness chain provides audit trail for healthcare/safety applications
+- Architecture aligns with Arena Physica's insight: store embeddings, not raw signals
+
+### Negative
+- Additional firmware packet type (48 bytes, trivial)
+- Bridge script needed on Seed or host machine
+- Daily compaction required for long-running deployments
+- Bearer token must be managed (stored securely, rotated if compromised)
+
+### Neutral
+- Existing sensing-server pipeline unchanged (ESP32 still sends to port 5005)
+- Seed's existing sensors continue operating independently
+- Target IP/port configurable via NVS provisioning (no recompilation for deployment changes)
+- Firmware recompilation needed once to add `send_feature_vector()` (Phase 1), but subsequent node deployments only need provisioning

+# ADR-070: Self-Supervised Pretraining from Live ESP32 CSI + Cognitum Seed
+

+| Authors    | rUv, claude-flow                                         |
+| Drivers    | README limitation "No pre-trained model weights provided"|
+| Related    | ADR-069 (Cognitum Seed pipeline), ADR-027 (MERIDIAN), ADR-024 (AETHER contrastive), ADR-015 (MM-Fi dataset) |
+
+## Context
+
+The README lists "No pre-trained model weights are provided; training from scratch is required" as a known limitation. Users must collect their own CSI dataset and train from scratch, which is a significant barrier to adoption.
+
+We now have the infrastructure to generate pre-trained weights directly from live hardware:
+
+- **2 ESP32-S3 nodes** (COM8 node_id=2 at 192.168.1.104, COM9 node_id=1 at 192.168.1.105) streaming CSI + vitals + 8-dim feature vectors at 1 Hz each
+- **Cognitum Seed** (Pi Zero 2 W) with RVF vector store, kNN search, witness chain, and environmental sensors (BME280, PIR, vibration)
+- **Recording API** in sensing-server (`POST /api/v1/recording/start`) that saves CSI frames to `.csi.jsonl`
+- **Self-supervised training** via `rapid_adapt.rs` (contrastive TTT + entropy minimization)
+- **AETHER contrastive embeddings** (ADR-024) for environment-independent representations
+
+### Why Self-Supervised?
+
+No cameras or labels are needed. The system learns from:
+
+1. **Temporal coherence** — Frames close in time should have similar embeddings (positive pairs), frames far apart should differ (negative pairs)
+2. **Multi-node consistency** — The same person seen from 2 nodes should produce correlated features, different people should produce decorrelated features
+3. **Cognitum Seed ground truth** — PIR sensor, BME280 environment changes, and kNN cluster transitions provide weak supervision without human labeling
+4. **Physical constraints** — Breathing 6-30 BPM, heart rate 40-150 BPM, person count 0-4, RSSI physics
+
+## Decision
+
+Implement a 4-phase pretraining pipeline that collects CSI from 2 ESP32 nodes, stores feature vectors in the Cognitum Seed, and produces distributable pre-trained weights.
+
+### Phase 1: Data Collection (30 min)
+
+Capture labeled scenarios using the sensing-server recording API and Cognitum Seed:
+
+| Scenario | Duration | Label | Activity |
+|----------|----------|-------|----------|
+| Empty room | 5 min | `empty` | No one present, establish baseline |
+| 1 person stationary | 5 min | `1p-still` | Sit at desk, normal breathing |
+| 1 person walking | 5 min | `1p-walk` | Walk around room, varied paths |
+| 1 person varied | 5 min | `1p-varied` | Stand, sit, wave arms, turn |
+| 2 people | 5 min | `2p` | Both moving in room |
+| Transitions | 5 min | `transitions` | Enter/exit room, appear/disappear |
+
+**Data rate per scenario:**
+- 2 nodes × 100 Hz CSI = 200 frames/sec = 60,000 frames per 5 min
+- 2 nodes × 1 Hz features = 2 vectors/sec = 600 vectors per 5 min
+- Total: 360,000 CSI frames + 3,600 feature vectors per collection run
+
+**Cognitum Seed role:**
+- Stores all feature vectors with witness chain attestation
+- PIR sensor provides binary presence ground truth
+- BME280 tracks environmental conditions during collection
+- kNN graph clusters naturally emerge from the vector distribution
+
+### Phase 2: Contrastive Pretraining
+
+Train a contrastive encoder on the collected CSI data:
+
+```
+Input: Raw CSI frame (128 subcarriers × 2 I/Q = 256 features)
+       ↓
+    TCN temporal encoder (3 layers, kernel=7)
+       ↓
+    Projection head → 128-dim embedding
+       ↓
+    Contrastive loss (InfoNCE):
+      positive: frames within 0.5s window from same node
+      negative: frames >5s apart or from different scenario
+      cross-node positive: same timestamp, different node
+```
+
+**Self-supervised signals:**
+- Temporal adjacency (frames within 500ms = positive pair)
+- Cross-node agreement (same person seen from 2 viewpoints)
+- PIR consistency (embedding should cluster by PIR state)
+- Scenario boundary (embeddings should shift at label transitions)
+
+### Phase 3: Downstream Head Training
+
+Attach lightweight heads for each task:
+
+| Head | Architecture | Output | Supervision |
+|------|-------------|--------|-------------|
+| Presence | Linear(128→1) + sigmoid | 0.0-1.0 | PIR sensor (free) |
+| Person count | Linear(128→4) + softmax | 0-3 people | Scenario labels |
+| Activity | Linear(128→4) + softmax | still/walk/varied/empty | Scenario labels |
+| Vital signs | Linear(128→2) | BR, HR (BPM) | ESP32 edge vitals |
+
+### Phase 4: Package & Distribute
+
+Produce distributable artifacts:
+
+| Artifact | Format | Size | Description |
+|----------|--------|------|-------------|
+| `pretrained-encoder.onnx` | ONNX | ~2 MB | Contrastive encoder (TCN backbone) |
+| `pretrained-heads.onnx` | ONNX | ~100 KB | Task-specific heads |
+| `pretrained.rvf` | RVF | ~500 KB | RuVector format with metadata |
+| `room-profiles.json` | JSON | ~10 KB | Environment calibration profiles |
+| `collection-witness.json` | JSON | ~5 KB | Seed witness chain attestation proving data provenance |
+
+Include in GitHub release alongside firmware binaries. Users download and run:
+
+```bash
+# Use pre-trained model (no training needed)
+cargo run -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server -- --model pretrained.rvf --http-port 3000
+```

+```
+
+## Data Collection Protocol
+
+### Step 1: Start Seed ingest (background)
+
+```bash
+export SEED_TOKEN="your-token"
+python scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py \
+  --seed-url https://169.254.42.1:8443 --token "$SEED_TOKEN" \
+  --udp-port 5006 --batch-size 10 --validate &
+```
+
+### Step 2: Start sensing-server with recording
+
+```bash
+cargo run -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server -- \
+  --source esp32 --udp-port 5006 --http-port 3000
+```
+
+### Step 3: Record each scenario
+
+```bash
+# Empty room (leave room for 5 min)
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/recording/start \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"session_name":"pretrain-empty","label":"empty","duration_secs":300}'
+
+# 1 person stationary (sit at desk for 5 min)
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/recording/start \
+  -d '{"session_name":"pretrain-1p-still","label":"1p-still","duration_secs":300}'
+
+# ... repeat for each scenario
+```
+
+### Step 4: Verify with Seed
+
+```bash
+python scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py --token "$SEED_TOKEN" --stats
+# Should show 3,600+ vectors from the collection run
+```
+
+## Risks
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|--------|------------|
+| 2 nodes insufficient for spatial diversity | Medium | Lower pretraining quality | Place nodes 3-5m apart at different heights |
+| PIR sensor has limited range | Low | Weak presence labels | BME280 temp changes + kNN clusters as backup |
+| Contrastive pretraining collapses | Low | Useless embeddings | Temperature scheduling, hard negative mining |
+| Model too large for ESP32 inference | N/A | N/A | Inference on host/Seed, not on ESP32 |
+| Room-specific overfitting | Medium | Poor generalization | MERIDIAN domain randomization (ADR-027), LoRA adaptation |
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Users get working model out of the box — no training needed
+- Witness chain proves data provenance (when/where/which hardware)
+- Pre-trained encoder transfers to new environments via LoRA fine-tuning
+- Removes the #1 adoption barrier from the README
+
+### Negative
+- 30 min of manual data collection per pretraining run
+- Pre-trained weights are room-specific without adaptation
+- ONNX runtime dependency for inference

+# ADR-071: ruvllm Training Pipeline for CSI Sensing Models
+
+- **Status**: Proposed
+- **Date**: 2026-04-02
+- **Deciders**: ruv
+- **Relates to**: ADR-069 (Cognitum Seed CSI Pipeline), ADR-070 (Self-Supervised Pretraining), ADR-024 (Contrastive CSI Embedding / AETHER), ADR-016 (RuVector Training Pipeline)
+
+## Context
+
+The WiFi-DensePose project needs a training pipeline to convert collected CSI data
+(`.csi.jsonl` frames from ESP32 nodes) into deployable models for presence detection,
+activity classification, and vital sign estimation.
+
+Previous ADRs established the data collection protocol (ADR-070) and Cognitum Seed
+inference target (ADR-069). What was missing was the actual training, refinement,
+quantization, and export pipeline connecting raw CSI recordings to deployable models.
+
+### Why ruvllm instead of PyTorch
+
+| Criterion | ruvllm | PyTorch | ONNX Runtime |
+|-----------|--------|---------|--------------|
+| Runtime dependency | Node.js only | Python + CUDA + pip | C++ runtime |
+| Install size | ~5 MB (npm) | ~2 GB (torch+cuda) | ~50 MB |
+| SONA adaptation | <1ms native | N/A | N/A |
+| Quantization | 2/4/8-bit TurboQuant | INT8/FP16 (separate tool) | INT8 only |
+| LoRA fine-tuning | Built-in LoraAdapter | Requires PEFT library | N/A |
+| EWC protection | Built-in EwcManager | Manual implementation | N/A |
+| SafeTensors export | Native SafeTensorsWriter | Via safetensors library | N/A |
+| Contrastive training | Built-in ContrastiveTrainer | Manual triplet loss | N/A |
+| Edge deployment | ESP32, Pi Zero, browser | GPU servers only | ARM (limited) |
+| M4 Pro performance | 88-135 tok/s native | ~30 tok/s (MPS) | ~50 tok/s |
+| Ecosystem integration | RuVector, Cognitum Seed | Standalone | Standalone |
+
+The ruvllm package (`@ruvector/ruvllm` v2.5.4) provides the complete training
+lifecycle in a single dependency: contrastive pretraining, task head training,
+LoRA refinement, EWC consolidation, quantization, and SafeTensors/RVF export.
+No Python dependency means the entire pipeline runs on the same Node.js runtime
+as the Cognitum Seed inference engine.
+
+## Decision
+
+Use ruvllm's `ContrastiveTrainer`, `TrainingPipeline`, `LoraAdapter`, `EwcManager`,
+`SafeTensorsWriter`, and `ModelExporter` for the complete CSI model training lifecycle.
+
+### Training Phases
+
+The pipeline executes five sequential phases:
+
+#### Phase 1: Contrastive Pretraining
+
+Learns an embedding space where temporally and spatially similar CSI states are close
+and dissimilar states are far apart.
+
+- **Encoder architecture**: 8-dim CSI feature vector -> 64-dim hidden (ReLU) -> 128-dim embedding (L2-normalized)
+- **Loss functions**: Triplet loss (margin=0.3) + InfoNCE (temperature=0.07)
+- **Triplet strategies**:
+  - Temporal positive: frames within 1 second (same environment state)
+  - Temporal negative: frames >30 seconds apart (different state)
+  - Cross-node positive: same timestamp from different ESP32 nodes (same person, different viewpoint)
+  - Cross-node negative: different timestamp + different node
+  - Hard negatives: frames near motion energy transition boundaries
+- **Hyperparameters**: 20 epochs, batch size 32, hard negative ratio 0.7
+- **Implementation**: `ContrastiveTrainer.addTriplet()` + `.train()`
+
+#### Phase 2: Task Head Training
+
+Trains supervised heads on top of the frozen embedding for specific sensing tasks.
+
+- **Presence head**: 128 -> 1 (sigmoid), threshold at presence_score > 0.3
+- **Activity head**: 128 -> 3 (softmax: still/moving/empty), derived from motion_energy thresholds
+- **Vitals head**: 128 -> 2 (linear: breathing BPM, heart rate BPM), normalized targets
+- **Implementation**: `TrainingPipeline.addData()` + `.train()` with cosine LR scheduler,
+  early stopping (patience=5), and quality-weighted MSE loss
+
+#### Phase 3: LoRA Refinement
+
+Per-node LoRA adapters for room-specific adaptation without forgetting the base model.
+
+- **Configuration**: rank=4, alpha=8, dropout=0.1
+- **Per-node training**: Each ESP32 node gets its own LoRA adapter trained on
+  node-specific data with reduced learning rate (0.5x base)
+- **Implementation**: `LoraManager.create()` for each node, `TrainingPipeline` with
+  `LoraAdapter` passed to constructor
+
+#### Phase 4: Quantization (TurboQuant)
+
+Reduces model size for edge deployment with minimal quality loss.
+
+| Bit Width | Compression | Typical RMSE | Target Device |
+|-----------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
+| 8-bit | 4x | <0.001 | Cognitum Seed (Pi Zero) |
+| 4-bit | 8x | <0.01 | Standard edge inference |
+| 2-bit | 16x | <0.05 | ESP32-S3 feature extraction |
+
+- **Method**: Uniform affine quantization with scale/zero-point per tensor
+- **Quality validation**: RMSE between original fp32 and dequantized weights
+
+#### Phase 5: EWC Consolidation
+
+Elastic Weight Consolidation prevents catastrophic forgetting when the model
+is later fine-tuned on new room data or updated CSI conditions.
+
+- **Fisher information**: Computed from training data gradients
+- **Lambda**: 2000 (base), 3000 (per-node)
+- **Tasks registered**: Base pretraining + one per ESP32 node
+- **Implementation**: `EwcManager.registerTask()` for each training phase

+| 2-bit quality loss (RMSE) | <0.05 | TBD |
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- **Zero Python dependency**: The entire training and inference pipeline runs on
+  Node.js, eliminating Python/CUDA/pip dependency management on training and
+  deployment targets.
+- **Integrated lifecycle**: Contrastive pretraining, task heads, LoRA refinement,
+  EWC consolidation, and quantization in a single script using one library.
+- **Edge-first**: 2-bit quantization enables running the encoder on ESP32-S3.
+  4-bit quantization fits comfortably on Cognitum Seed Pi Zero.
+- **Continual learning**: EWC protection means the model can be updated with new
+  room data without losing previously learned patterns.
+- **Per-node adaptation**: LoRA adapters allow room-specific fine-tuning with
+  minimal storage overhead (rank-4 adapter ~2KB per node).
+- **HuggingFace compatibility**: SafeTensors export enables sharing models on the
+  HuggingFace Hub and loading in other frameworks.
+- **Reproducibility**: Seeded encoder initialization and deterministic data pipeline
+  ensure reproducible training runs.
+
+### Negative
+
+- **No GPU acceleration**: ruvllm's JS training loop does not use GPU compute.
+  For the small model sizes in CSI sensing (8->64->128), this is acceptable
+  (~seconds on M4 Pro), but would not scale to large vision models.
+- **Simplified backpropagation**: The LoRA backward pass and contrastive training
+  use approximate gradient updates rather than full automatic differentiation.
+  Sufficient for the target model sizes but not equivalent to PyTorch autograd.
+- **Quantization is post-training only**: No quantization-aware training (QAT).
+  For 4-bit and 8-bit this produces acceptable quality loss; 2-bit may need
+  QAT in future if quality degrades.
+
+### Risks
+
+- **Quality ceiling**: The simplified training may produce lower accuracy than a
+  PyTorch-trained equivalent. Mitigated by: (a) the model is small enough that
+  the training loop converges quickly, (b) SONA adaptation can compensate at
+  inference time, (c) we can switch to PyTorch for training only if needed
+  while keeping ruvllm for inference.
+- **ruvllm API stability**: The library is at v2.5.4 with active development.
+  Mitigated by vendoring the package in `vendor/ruvector/npm/packages/ruvllm/`.

+
+## Camera-Free Supervision
+
+### Motivation
+
+Traditional WiFi-based pose estimation (WiFlow, Person-in-WiFi) requires camera-supervised
+training: a camera captures ground-truth poses during CSI collection, and the model learns
+to map CSI to those poses. This creates a deployment paradox — the camera is needed for
+training but the whole point of WiFi sensing is to avoid cameras.
+
+The camera-free pipeline (`scripts/train-camera-free.js`) replaces camera supervision with
+10 sensor signals from the Cognitum Seed and 2 ESP32 nodes, generating weak labels through
+sensor fusion.
+
+### 10 Supervision Signals (No Camera)
+
+| # | Signal | Source | Provides |
+|---|--------|--------|----------|
+| 1 | PIR sensor | Seed GPIO 6 | Binary presence ground truth |
+| 2 | BME280 temperature | Seed I2C 0x76 | Occupancy proxy (temp rises with people) |
+| 3 | BME280 humidity | Seed I2C 0x76 | Breathing confirmation / zone |
+| 4 | Cross-node RSSI | 2 ESP32 nodes | Rough XY position (differential triangulation) |
+| 5 | Vitals stability | ESP32 CSI | HR/BR variance indicates activity level |
+| 6 | Temporal CSI patterns | ESP32 CSI | Periodic=walking, stable=sitting, flat=empty |
+| 7 | kNN cluster labels | Seed vector store | Natural groupings in embedding space |
+| 8 | Boundary fragility | Seed Stoer-Wagner | Regime change detection (entry/exit/activity) |
+| 9 | Reed switch | Seed GPIO 5 | Door open/close events |
+| 10 | Vibration sensor | Seed GPIO 13 | Footstep detection |
+
+### Camera-Free Training Phases
+
+The pipeline extends the base 5 phases with camera-free-specific phases:
+
+```
+Phase 0: Multi-Modal Data Collection
+  ├── UDP port 5006 → ESP32 CSI features + vitals
+  ├── HTTPS → Seed sensor embeddings (45-dim, every 100ms)
+  ├── HTTPS → Seed boundary/coherence (every 10s)
+  └── Build synchronized MultiModalFrame timeline
+
+Phase 1: Weak Label Generation
+  ├── Presence: PIR || CSI_presence > 0.3 || temp_rising > 0.1°C/min
+  ├── Position: RSSI differential → 5×5 grid (25 zones)
+  ├── Activity: CSI variance + FFT periodicity → stationary/walking/gesture/empty
+  ├── Occupancy: max(node1_persons, node2_persons) validated by temp
+  ├── Body region: upper/lower subcarrier groups → which body part moves
+  ├── Entry/exit: reed_switch + PIR transition + boundary fragility spike
+  ├── Breathing zone: humidity change rate → person location
+  └── Pose proxy: 5-keypoint coarse pose from RSSI + subcarrier asymmetry + vibration
+
+Phase 2: Enhanced Contrastive Pretraining
+  ├── Base triplets (temporal, cross-node, transition, scenario boundary)
+  ├── Sensor-verified negatives: PIR=0 vs PIR=1 must differ
+  ├── Activity boundary: before/after fragility spike must differ
+  └── Cross-modal: CSI embedding ≈ Seed embedding for same state
+
+Phase 3: Pose Proxy Training (5-keypoint)
+  ├── Head: RSSI centroid between 2 nodes
+  ├── Hands: per-subcarrier variance asymmetry (left/right from 2 nodes)
+  ├── Feet: vibration sensor + RSSI ground reflection
+  └── Skeleton physics constraints (anthropometric bone length limits)
+
+Phase 4: 17-Keypoint Interpolation
+  ├── Shoulders = 0.3 × head + 0.7 × hands
+  ├── Elbows = midpoint(shoulder, hand)
+  ├── Hips = midpoint(head, feet)
+  ├── Knees = midpoint(hip, foot)
+  ├── Face = derived from head position
+  └── Iterative bone length constraint projection (3 iterations)
+
+Phase 5: Self-Refinement Loop (3 rounds)
+  ├── Run inference on all collected data
+  ├── Keep predictions where temporal consistency confidence > 0.8
+  ├── Use as pseudo-labels for next training round
+  └── Decaying learning rate per round (diminishing returns)
+```
+
+### Seed API Endpoints Used
+
+| Endpoint | Data | Collection Rate |
+|----------|------|----------------|
+| `GET /api/v1/sensor/stream` | SSE sensor readings | Continuous (100ms) |
+| `GET /api/v1/sensor/embedding/latest` | 45-dim sensor embedding | Per-frame |
+| `GET /api/v1/boundary` | Fragility score | Every 10s |
+| `GET /api/v1/coherence/profile` | Temporal phase boundaries | Every 10s |
+| `GET /api/v1/store/query` | kNN similarity search | On demand |
+| `POST /api/v1/boundary/recompute` | Trigger analysis | On regime change |
+
+### Graceful Degradation
+
+The pipeline works with or without the Cognitum Seed:
+
+| Mode | Signals | Pose Quality |
+|------|---------|-------------|
+| Full (Seed + 2 ESP32) | 10 signals | 5-keypoint trained, 17-keypoint interpolated |
+| CSI-only (2 ESP32) | 3 signals (RSSI, vitals, temporal) | Coarser position/activity only |
+| Single node | 2 signals (vitals, temporal) | Presence + activity only |
+
+When the Seed API is unreachable, the pipeline automatically falls back to
+CSI-only training, producing the same output format (SafeTensors, HuggingFace,
+quantized) with reduced label quality.
+
+### Output Format
+
+Same as the base pipeline (SafeTensors + HuggingFace compatible), plus:
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `pose-decoder.json` | 5-keypoint pose decoder weights |
+| `model.rvf.jsonl` | Extended with `camera_free_supervision` record |
+| `training-metrics.json` | Includes weak label stats and multi-modal triplet counts |
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash
+# Full pipeline with Seed
+node scripts/train-camera-free.js \
+  --data data/recordings/pretrain-*.csi.jsonl \
+  --seed-url https://169.254.42.1:8443 \
+  --output models/csi-camerafree-v1
+
+# CSI-only (no Seed)
+node scripts/train-camera-free.js \
+  --data data/recordings/pretrain-*.csi.jsonl \
+  --no-seed \
+  --output models/csi-camerafree-v1
+
+# With benchmark
+node scripts/train-camera-free.js \
+  --data data/recordings/*.csi.jsonl \
+  --benchmark
+```

+# ADR-072: WiFlow Pose Estimation Architecture
+
+- **Status**: Proposed
+- **Date**: 2026-04-02
+- **Deciders**: ruv
+- **Relates to**: ADR-071 (ruvllm Training Pipeline), ADR-070 (Self-Supervised Pretraining), ADR-024 (Contrastive CSI Embedding / AETHER), ADR-069 (Cognitum Seed CSI Pipeline)
+
+## Context
+
+The WiFi-DensePose project needs a neural architecture that can convert raw CSI amplitude
+data into 17-keypoint COCO pose estimates. The existing `train-ruvllm.js` pipeline uses a
+simple 2-layer FC encoder (8 -> 64 -> 128) that produces contrastive embeddings for
+presence detection but cannot output spatial keypoint coordinates.
+
+We evaluated published WiFi-based pose estimation architectures:
+
+| Architecture | Params | Input | Key Innovation | Publication |
+|-------------|--------|-------|---------------|-------------|
+| **WiFlow** | 4.82M | 540x20 | TCN + AsymConv + Axial Attention | arXiv:2602.08661 |
+| WiPose | 11.2M | 3x3x30x20 | 3D CNN + heatmap regression | CVPR 2021 |
+| MetaFi++ | 8.6M | 114x30x20 | Transformer + meta-learning | NeurIPS 2023 |
+| Person-in-WiFi 3D | 15.3M | Multi-antenna | Deformable attention + 3D | CVPR 2024 |
+
+WiFlow is the lightest published SOTA architecture, designed specifically for commercial
+WiFi hardware. Its key advantage is operating on CSI amplitude only (no phase), which
+is critical for ESP32-S3 where phase calibration is unreliable.
+
+### Why WiFlow
+
+1. **Lightest SOTA**: 4.82M parameters at original scale; our adaptation targets ~2.5M
+2. **Amplitude-only**: Discards phase, which is noisy on consumer hardware
+3. **Published architecture**: Fully specified in arXiv:2602.08661, reproducible
+4. **Temporal modeling**: TCN with dilated causal convolutions captures motion dynamics
+5. **Efficient attention**: Axial attention reduces O(H^2W^2) to O(H^2W + HW^2)
+6. **Proven on commercial WiFi**: Validated on commodity Intel 5300 and Atheros hardware
+
+## Decision
+
+Implement the WiFlow architecture in pure JavaScript (ruvllm native) with the following
+adaptations for our ESP32 single TX/RX deployment.
+
+### Architecture Overview
+
+```
+CSI Amplitude [128, 20]
+        |
+   Stage 1: TCN (Dilated Causal Conv)
+   dilation = (1, 2, 4, 8), kernel = 7
+   128 -> 256 -> 192 -> 128 channels
+        |
+   Stage 2: Asymmetric Conv Encoder
+   1xk conv (k=3), stride (1,2)
+   [1, 128, 20] -> [256, 8, 20]
+        |
+   Stage 3: Axial Self-Attention
+   Width (temporal): 8 heads
+   Height (feature): 8 heads
+        |
+   Decoder: Adaptive Avg Pool + Linear
+   [256, 8, 20] -> pool -> [2048] -> [17, 2]
+        |
+   17 COCO Keypoints [x, y] in [0, 1]
+```
+
+### Our Adaptation vs Original WiFlow
+
+| Aspect | WiFlow Original | Our Adaptation | Reason |
+|--------|----------------|----------------|--------|
+| Input channels | 540 (18 links x 30 SC) | 128 (1 TX x 1 RX x 128 SC) | Single ESP32 link |
+| Time steps | 20 | 20 | Same |
+| TCN channels | 540 -> 256 -> 128 -> 64 | 128 -> 256 -> 192 -> 128 | Proportional reduction |
+| Spatial blocks | 4 (stride 2) | 4 (stride 2) | Same |
+| Attention heads | 8 | 8 | Same |
+| Parameters | 4.82M | ~1.8M | Fewer input channels |
+| Input type | Amplitude only | Amplitude only | Same |
+| Output | 17 x 2 | 17 x 2 | Same |
+
+### Parameter Budget Breakdown
+
+| Stage | Parameters | % of Total |
+|-------|-----------|------------|
+| TCN (4 blocks, k=7, d=1,2,4,8) | ~969K | 54% |
+| Asymmetric Conv (4 blocks, 1x3, stride 2) | ~174K | 10% |
+| Axial Attention (width + height, 8 heads) | ~592K | 33% |
+| Pose Decoder (pool + linear -> 17x2) | ~70K | 4% |
+| **Total** | **~1.8M** | **100%** |
+
+### Loss Function
+
+```
+L = L_H + 0.2 * L_B
+
+L_H = SmoothL1(predicted, target, beta=0.1)
+L_B = (1/14) * sum_b (bone_length_b - prior_b)^2
+```
+
+14 bone connections enforce anatomical constraints:
+- Nose-eye (x2): 0.06
+- Eye-ear (x2): 0.06
+- Shoulder-elbow (x2): 0.15
+- Elbow-wrist (x2): 0.13
+- Shoulder-hip (x2): 0.26
+- Hip-knee (x2): 0.25
+- Knee-ankle (x2): 0.25
+- Shoulder width: 0.20
+
+All lengths normalized to person height.
+
+### Training Strategy (Camera-Free Pipeline)
+
+Since we have no ground-truth pose labels from cameras, training proceeds in three phases:
+
+#### Phase 1: Contrastive Pretraining
+- Temporal triplets: adjacent windows are positive pairs, distant windows are negative
+- Cross-node triplets: same-time windows from different ESP32 nodes are positive
+- Uses ruvllm `ContrastiveTrainer` with triplet + InfoNCE loss
+- Learns a representation where similar CSI states cluster together
+
+#### Phase 2: Pose Proxy Training
+- Generate coarse pose proxies from vitals data:
+  - Person detected (presence > 0.3): place standing skeleton at center
+  - High motion: perturb limb positions proportional to motion energy
+  - Breathing: add micro-oscillation to torso keypoints
+- Train with SmoothL1 + bone constraint loss
+- Confidence-weighted updates (higher presence = stronger gradient)
+
+#### Phase 3: Self-Refinement (Future)
+- Multi-node consistency: same person seen from different nodes should produce
+  consistent pose after geometric transform
+- Temporal smoothness: adjacent frames should produce similar poses
+- Bone constraint tightening: gradually reduce tolerance
+
+### Integration with Existing Pipeline
+
+```
+train-ruvllm.js (ADR-071)        train-wiflow.js (ADR-072)
+  |                                  |
+  | 8-dim features                   | 128-dim raw CSI amplitude
+  | -> 128-dim embedding             | -> 17x2 keypoint coordinates
+  | -> presence/activity/vitals      | -> bone-constrained pose
+  |                                  |
+  +-- ContrastiveTrainer -----+------+
+  +-- TrainingPipeline -------+------+
+  +-- LoRA per-node ----------+------+
+  +-- TurboQuant quantize ----+------+
+  +-- SafeTensors export -----+------+
+```
+
+Both pipelines share the ruvllm infrastructure; WiFlow adds the deeper architecture
+for direct pose regression while the simple encoder handles embedding tasks.
+
+### Performance Targets
+
+| Metric | Target | Notes |
+|--------|--------|-------|
+| PCK@20 | > 80% | On lab data with 2+ nodes |
+| Forward latency | < 50ms | Pi Zero 2W at INT8 |
+| Model size (INT8) | < 2 MB | TurboQuant |
+| Bone violation rate | < 10% | 50% tolerance |
+| Temporal jitter | < 3cm | Exponential smoothing |
+
+### Risk Assessment
+
+| Risk | Severity | Mitigation |
+|------|----------|------------|
+| Single TX/RX has less spatial info than 18 links | High | 2-node multi-static compensates; cross-node fusion from ADR-029 |
+| Camera-free labels are coarse | Medium | Bone constraints enforce anatomy; contrastive pretrain provides structure |
+| Pure JS too slow for real-time | Medium | INT8 quantization; axial attention is O(H^2W+HW^2) not O(H^2W^2) |
+| Overfitting with ~5K frames | Medium | Temporal augmentation + noise + cross-node interpolation |
+| Phase not available (amplitude-only) | Low | WiFlow was designed amplitude-only; not a limitation |
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Proven SOTA architecture adapted to our hardware constraints
+- Pure JavaScript implementation runs everywhere ruvllm runs (Node.js, browser WASM)
+- Bone constraints enforce physically plausible outputs even with noisy inputs
+- Shares training infrastructure with existing ruvllm pipeline
+- Modular: each stage (TCN, AsymConv, Axial, Decoder) is independently testable
+
+### Negative
+- ~1.8M parameters is 193x larger than simple CsiEncoder (9,344 params)
+- Forward pass is slower (~50ms vs <1ms for simple encoder)
+- Camera-free training will produce lower accuracy than supervised WiFlow
+- No ground-truth PCK evaluation possible without camera labels
+- Axial attention is O(N^2) within each axis, limiting scalability
+
+### Neutral
+- FLOPs dominated by TCN (~48%) due to dilated convolutions
+- INT8 quantization brings model to ~1.7MB, viable for edge deployment
+- Architecture is fixed (no NAS); future work could explore lighter variants

+# ADR-073: Multi-Frequency Mesh Scanning
+
+| Field       | Value                                      |
+|-------------|--------------------------------------------|
+| **Status**  | Proposed                                   |
+| **Date**    | 2026-04-02                                 |

+| **Depends** | ADR-018 (binary frame), ADR-029 (channel hopping), ADR-039 (edge processing), ADR-060 (channel override) |
+
+## Context
+
+The current WiFi-DensePose deployment uses 2 ESP32-S3 nodes operating on a single WiFi channel (channel 5, 2432 MHz). A scan of the office environment reveals 9 WiFi networks across 6 distinct channels (1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11), each broadcasting continuously. These neighbor networks are free RF illuminators whose signals pass through the room and interact with objects, people, and walls.
+
+**Current single-channel limitations:**
+
+1. **19% null subcarriers** — metal objects (desk, monitor frame, filing cabinet) create frequency-selective fading that blocks specific subcarriers on channel 5. These nulls are permanent blind spots in the RF map.
+
+2. **No frequency diversity** — objects that are transparent at 2432 MHz may be opaque at 2412 MHz or 2462 MHz, and vice versa. A metal mesh that blocks one wavelength (122.5 mm at 2432 MHz) may pass another (124.0 mm at 2412 MHz) due to the mesh aperture-to-wavelength ratio.
+
+3. **Single-perspective CSI** — both nodes see the same 52-64 subcarriers on the same channel. The subcarrier indices map to the same frequency bins, providing no spectral diversity.
+
+4. **Neighbor illuminator waste** — 6 other APs broadcast continuously in the room. Their signals pass through walls, furniture, and people, creating CSI-measurable reflections that we currently ignore because we only listen on channel 5.
+
+## Decision
+
+Implement interleaved multi-frequency channel hopping across the 2 ESP32-S3 nodes, scanning 6 WiFi channels to build a wideband RF map of the room.
+
+### Channel Allocation Strategy
+
+The 2.4 GHz ISM band has 3 non-overlapping 20 MHz channels (1, 6, 11) and several partially-overlapping channels between them. We allocate channels to maximize both spectral coverage and illuminator exploitation:
+
+```
+Node 1: ch 1, 6, 11  (non-overlapping, full band coverage)
+Node 2: ch 3, 5, 9   (interleaved, near neighbor APs)
+```
+
+**Rationale for this split:**
+
+| Channel | Freq (MHz) | Node | Neighbor Illuminators                        | Purpose                           |
+|---------|------------|------|----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
+| 1       | 2412       | 1    | (none visible, but lower freq = better penetration) | Low-frequency penetration          |
+| 3       | 2422       | 2    | conclusion mesh (signal 44)                  | Exploit neighbor AP as illuminator |
+| 5       | 2432       | 2    | ruv.net (100), Cohen-Guest (100), HP LaserJet (94) | Primary channel, strongest illuminators |
+| 6       | 2437       | 1    | Innanen (signal 19)                          | Center band, non-overlapping       |
+| 9       | 2452       | 2    | NETGEAR72 (42), NETGEAR72-Guest (42)         | Exploit dual NETGEAR illuminators  |
+| 11      | 2462       | 1    | COGECO-21B20 (100), COGECO-4321 (30)         | High-frequency, strong illuminators |
+
+Each node dwells on a channel for 250 ms (configurable), collects 3-4 CSI frames, then hops to the next. The 3-channel rotation completes in 750 ms, giving ~1.3 full rotations per second.

+At 2.4 GHz, WiFi wavelength ranges from 122.0 mm (ch 14, 2484 MHz) to 124.0 mm (ch 1, 2412 MHz). While this is a narrow range (~2%), the effect on multipath is significant:
+
+1. **Frequency-selective fading**: multipath reflections create constructive/destructive interference patterns that vary with frequency. A 2 cm path length difference produces a null at 2432 MHz but constructive interference at 2412 MHz.
+
+2. **Diffraction around objects**: Huygens-Fresnel diffraction depends on wavelength. Objects smaller than ~lambda/2 (61 mm) scatter differently across the band. Common office objects (monitor bezels, chair legs, cable bundles) are in this range.
+
+3. **Material transparency**: some materials (wire mesh, perforated metal, PCB ground planes) have frequency-dependent transmission. A monitor's EMI shielding mesh with 5 mm apertures blocks 2.4 GHz signals but the exact attenuation varies with frequency due to slot antenna effects.
+
+4. **Subcarrier orthogonality**: OFDM subcarriers on different channels are in different frequency bins. A null on subcarrier 15 of channel 5 does not imply a null on subcarrier 15 of channel 1, because they map to different absolute frequencies.
+
+### Null Diversity Mechanism
+
+```
+Channel 5 subcarriers:  ▅▆█▇▅▃▁_▁▃▅▆█▇▅▃▁_▁▃▅▆█▇▅▃
+                                 ^ null (metal desk)
+Channel 1 subcarriers:  ▃▅▆█▇▅▃▅▆█▇▅▃▅▆█▇▅▃▅▆█▇▅▃▅▃
+                                 ^ resolved! Different freq = different null pattern
+
+Channel 11 subcarriers: ▅▃▁_▁▃▅▆█▇▅▃▅▆▅▃▁_▁▃▅▆█▇▅▃▅
+                              ^ null here instead (shifted by frequency offset)
+```
+
+By fusing subcarrier data across channels, nulls that exist on one channel are filled by non-null data from other channels. The remaining nulls (present on ALL channels) represent truly opaque objects — large metal surfaces that block all 2.4 GHz frequencies.
+
+### Wideband View
+
+Single channel: ~52-64 subcarriers (20 MHz bandwidth)
+Multi-channel (6 channels): ~312-384 effective subcarrier observations (120 MHz coverage)
+
+This is not simply 6x the resolution (the subcarrier spacing within each channel is the same), but it provides:
+- 6x the spectral diversity for null mitigation
+- 6x the illuminator variety (different APs = different signal paths)
+- Frequency-dependent scattering signatures for material classification
+
+## Integration
+
+### Firmware (already supported)
+
+The channel hopping infrastructure is already implemented in the ESP32 firmware (ADR-029):
+
+```c
+// csi_collector.h — already exists
+void csi_collector_set_hop_table(const uint8_t *channels, uint8_t hop_count, uint32_t dwell_ms);
+void csi_collector_start_hop_timer(void);
+```
+
+The ADR-018 binary frame header already includes the channel/frequency field at bytes [8..11], so the server-side parser can distinguish frames from different channels without any firmware changes.
+
+### Provisioning Commands
+
+```bash
+# Node 1 (COM7): non-overlapping channels 1, 6, 11
+python firmware/esp32-csi-node/provision.py --port COM7 \
+  --ssid "ruv.net" --password "..." --target-ip 192.168.1.20 \
+  --hop-channels 1,6,11 --hop-dwell-ms 250
+
+# Node 2 (COM_): interleaved channels 3, 5, 9
+python firmware/esp32-csi-node/provision.py --port COM_ \
+  --ssid "ruv.net" --password "..." --target-ip 192.168.1.20 \
+  --hop-channels 3,5,9 --hop-dwell-ms 250
+```
+
+Note: `--hop-channels` and `--hop-dwell-ms` require provision.py support for writing these values to NVS. If not yet implemented, the firmware's `csi_collector_set_hop_table()` can be called directly from the main init code with compile-time constants.
+
+### Server-Side Processing
+
+Three new Node.js scripts consume the multi-channel CSI data:
+
+| Script | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `scripts/rf-scan.js` | Single-channel live RF room scanner with ASCII spectrum |
+| `scripts/rf-scan-multifreq.js` | Multi-channel scanner with null diversity analysis |
+| `scripts/benchmark-rf-scan.js` | Quantitative benchmark of multi-channel performance |
+
+All scripts parse the ADR-018 binary UDP format and use the frequency field to separate frames by channel.
+
+### Cognitum Seed Integration
+
+The Cognitum Seed vector store (ADR-069) currently stores 1,605 vectors from single-channel CSI. With multi-frequency scanning:
+
+1. **Per-channel feature vectors**: store separate 8-dim feature vectors for each channel, tagged with channel number. This increases the vector count to ~9,630 (6 channels x 1,605).
+
+2. **Wideband feature vector**: concatenate or average per-channel features into a 48-dim wideband vector for richer kNN search. Objects that are ambiguous on one channel may be clearly distinguishable in the wideband representation.
+
+3. **Null-aware embeddings**: encode null subcarrier patterns as part of the feature vector. The null pattern itself is informative — a consistent null at subcarrier 15 across all channels indicates a large metal object, while a null only on channel 5 indicates a frequency-dependent scatterer.
+
+## Performance Targets
+
+| Metric | Single-Channel Baseline | Multi-Channel Target | Method |
+|--------|------------------------|---------------------|--------|
+| Subcarrier count | ~52-64 | ~312-384 (6x) | 6 channels x 52-64 subcarriers |
+| Null gap | 19% | <5% | Null diversity across channels |
+| Position resolution | ~30 cm | ~15 cm | sqrt(6) improvement from independent observations |
+| Per-channel FPS | 12 fps | ~4 fps | 250 ms dwell x 3 channels = 750 ms rotation |
+| Total FPS (all channels) | 12 fps | ~12 fps per node (4 fps x 3 channels) |
+| Wideband rotation | N/A | ~1.3 Hz | Full 3-channel rotation in 750 ms |
+
+## Risks
+
+### Per-Channel Sample Rate Reduction
+
+Channel hopping reduces the per-channel sample rate from 12 fps (single channel) to approximately 4 fps per channel (250 ms dwell, 3 channels). This affects:
+
+- **Vitals extraction**: breathing rate (0.1-0.5 Hz) requires at least 2 fps (Nyquist). At 4 fps per channel, this is met. Heart rate (0.8-2.0 Hz) requires at least 4 fps, which is marginal. Mitigation: keep one channel as "primary" with longer dwell for vitals, or fuse phase data across channels.
+
+- **Motion tracking**: 4 fps is sufficient for walking speed (<2 m/s) but insufficient for fast gestures. If gesture recognition is needed, reduce to 2-channel hopping or increase dwell rate.
+
+### Channel Hopping Latency
+
+`esp_wifi_set_channel()` takes ~1-5 ms on ESP32-S3. During the transition, no CSI frames are captured. At 250 ms dwell, this is <2% overhead.
+
+### AP Disconnection
+
+Channel hopping may cause the ESP32 to lose connection to the home AP (ruv.net on channel 5) when dwelling on other channels. The STA reconnects automatically, but there may be brief UDP packet loss. Mitigation: the firmware already handles this gracefully — CSI collection works in promiscuous mode regardless of STA connection state.
+
+### Increased Server Load
+
+2 nodes x 3 channels x 4 fps = 24 frames/second total UDP traffic. Each frame is ~150-200 bytes (20-byte header + 64 subcarriers x 2 bytes I/Q). Total: ~4.8 KB/s — negligible.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+1. **5 GHz channels**: ESP32-S3 supports 5 GHz CSI, and the shorter wavelength (60 mm) provides better spatial resolution. Rejected because: (a) no 5 GHz APs visible in the current environment, so no free illuminators; (b) 5 GHz has worse wall penetration, reducing the effective sensing volume.
+
+2. **More nodes**: adding a 3rd or 4th ESP32 node would increase spatial diversity without channel hopping. Rejected for now due to cost, but this is complementary — more nodes + channel hopping would give both spatial and spectral diversity.
+
+3. **Wider bandwidth (HT40)**: using 40 MHz channels doubles subcarrier count per channel. Rejected because: (a) HT40 requires a secondary channel, reducing available channels for hopping; (b) many neighbor APs use HT20, so their illumination only covers 20 MHz.
+
+## SNN Integration (ADR-074)
+
+Multi-frequency scanning produces subcarrier data across 6 channels, creating temporal patterns that are well-suited for spiking neural network processing. ADR-074 introduces an SNN with STDP learning that consumes the multi-channel CSI stream.
+
+**Key interactions with multi-frequency data:**
+
+1. **Null diversity as SNN input**: subcarriers that are null on one channel but active on another produce a distinctive spike pattern (spikes only during certain channel dwells). STDP learns to associate these cross-channel patterns with specific objects or zones — something a single-channel SNN cannot do.
+
+2. **Channel-interleaved temporal coding**: because each node dwells on 3 channels in a 750ms rotation, the SNN receives subcarrier data in a repeating temporal pattern (ch1 → ch2 → ch3 → ch1 ...). The SNN's LIF membrane dynamics integrate spikes across the rotation, naturally performing cross-channel fusion through temporal summation. A hidden neuron that receives spikes from subcarrier 15 on channel 1 AND subcarrier 15 on channel 6 will fire more strongly than one receiving either alone.
+
+3. **Expanded input mode**: on the server (not constrained by ESP32 memory), the SNN can use 384 input neurons (6 channels x 64 subcarriers) instead of 128. This provides maximum spectral diversity per frame but requires ~150 KB of weight storage. The `snn-csi-processor.js` script supports this via the `--hidden` flag to scale the network.
+
+4. **Illuminator fingerprinting**: different neighbor APs have different beamforming patterns and power levels. The SNN learns which subcarrier patterns belong to which illuminator, enabling it to distinguish AP-specific signatures from human-caused perturbations. This is especially useful for the NETGEAR dual-AP setup on channel 9, where two illuminators from different positions create stereo-like RF coverage.

+
+## Context
+
+The current WiFi-DensePose CSI sensing pipeline uses two approaches for interpreting subcarrier data:
+
+1. **Static thresholds** — presence detection fires when subcarrier variance exceeds a fixed value. This works in calibrated environments but fails when the RF landscape changes (furniture moved, new objects, temperature drift). Recalibration requires manual intervention or batch retraining.
+
+2. **Batch-trained FC encoder** — the neural network in `wifi-densepose-nn` maps CSI frames to 8-dimensional feature vectors. It requires labeled training data, offline training epochs, and model deployment. The encoder cannot adapt to a new environment without collecting new data and retraining.
+
+Neither approach handles online adaptation. When an ESP32 node is deployed in a new room, the first hours produce noisy, unreliable output until the thresholds are tuned or a model is trained. In disaster scenarios (ADR MAT), there is no time for calibration.
+
+**Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs)** offer an alternative. Unlike traditional ANNs that process continuous values in batch mode, SNNs communicate through discrete spike events and learn online via Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP). This is a natural fit for CSI data:
+
+- CSI subcarrier amplitudes are temporal signals sampled at 12-22 fps
+- Amplitude changes (not absolute values) carry the information about motion, breathing, and presence
+- STDP learns temporal correlations between subcarriers without labels
+- Event-driven processing means idle rooms (no motion) consume near-zero compute
+
+The `@ruvector/spiking-neural` package (vendored at `vendor/ruvector/npm/packages/spiking-neural/`) provides production-ready LIF neurons, STDP learning, lateral inhibition, and SIMD-optimized vector math in pure JavaScript with zero dependencies.
+
+## Decision
+
+Integrate `@ruvector/spiking-neural` into the CSI sensing pipeline as an online unsupervised pattern learner that runs alongside the existing FC encoder. The SNN provides real-time adaptation while the FC encoder provides stable baseline predictions.
+
+### Network Architecture
+
+```
+CSI Frame (128 subcarriers)
+        |
+        v
+[ Rate Encoding ] -----> 128 input neurons (one per subcarrier)
+        |                   amplitude delta -> spike rate
+        v
+[ LIF Hidden Layer ] ---> 64 hidden neurons (tau=20ms)

+[ LIF Output Layer ] ---> 8 output neurons
+        |
+        v
+  presence | motion | breathing | heart_rate | phase_var | persons | fall | rssi
+```
+
+**Layer parameters:**
+
+| Layer | Neurons | tau (ms) | v_thresh (mV) | Function |
+|-------|---------|----------|---------------|----------|
+| Input | 128 | N/A | N/A | Rate-coded spike generation from subcarrier deltas |
+| Hidden | 64 | 20.0 | -50.0 | STDP learns correlated subcarrier groups |
+| Output | 8 | 25.0 | -50.0 | Each neuron specializes in one sensing modality |
+
+**Synapse parameters:**
+
+| Connection | Count | a_plus | a_minus | w_init | Lateral Inhibition |
+|------------|-------|--------|---------|--------|-------------------|
+| Input -> Hidden | 8,192 | 0.005 | 0.005 | 0.3 | No |
+| Hidden -> Output | 512 | 0.003 | 0.003 | 0.2 | Yes (strength=15.0) |
+
+Total synapses: 8,704. At 4 bytes per weight, this is 34 KB — fits in ESP32 SRAM.
+
+### Input Encoding
+
+CSI amplitudes are converted to spike rates using rate coding:
+
+1. Compute per-subcarrier amplitude: `amp[i] = sqrt(I[i]^2 + Q[i]^2)` from the ADR-018 binary frame
+2. Compute amplitude delta from previous frame: `delta[i] = |amp[i] - prev_amp[i]|`
+3. Normalize deltas to [0, 1] range: `norm[i] = min(delta[i] / max_delta, 1.0)`
+4. Feed `norm` to `rateEncoding(norm, dt, max_rate)` which produces Poisson spikes
+
+Higher amplitude changes produce more spikes. Static subcarriers (no motion) produce few or no spikes. This is the key energy advantage: an empty room generates almost no spikes, so the SNN does almost no work.
+
+### STDP Learning Rule
+
+STDP strengthens connections between neurons that fire together (within a time window) and weakens connections between neurons that fire out of sync:
+
+- **LTP (Long-Term Potentiation)**: if a presynaptic neuron fires before a postsynaptic neuron within 20ms, the weight increases by `a_plus * exp(-dt/tau_stdp)`
+- **LTD (Long-Term Depression)**: if a postsynaptic neuron fires before a presynaptic neuron, the weight decreases by `a_minus * exp(-dt/tau_stdp)`
+
+Over time, this causes the hidden layer neurons to specialize. Subcarriers that consistently change together (e.g., subcarriers 10-20 affected by a person walking through zone A) become strongly connected to the same hidden neuron. Different motion patterns activate different hidden neuron clusters.
+
+### Lateral Inhibition (Winner-Take-All)
+
+The output layer uses lateral inhibition with strength 15.0. When one output neuron fires, it suppresses all others. This forces each output neuron to specialize in a distinct pattern:
+
+- Output 0: presence (any subcarrier activity above baseline)
+- Output 1: motion (widespread subcarrier changes, high spike rate)
+- Output 2: breathing (periodic 0.1-0.5 Hz modulation on chest-area subcarriers)
+- Output 3: heart rate (periodic 0.8-2.0 Hz modulation, lower amplitude than breathing)
+- Output 4: phase variance (phase instability across subcarriers)
+- Output 5: person count (number of distinct active subcarrier clusters)
+- Output 6: fall (sudden high-amplitude burst followed by silence)
+- Output 7: RSSI trend (overall signal strength change)
+
+The neuron-to-label mapping is not fixed by training. Instead, the mapping is discovered by observing which output neuron fires most for each known condition during an optional calibration phase. If no calibration is available, the output is reported as raw spike counts per output neuron, and downstream consumers (Cognitum Seed, SONA) interpret the patterns.
+
+### Integration with Existing Pipeline
+
+The SNN does not replace the FC encoder. It runs in parallel:
+
+```
+CSI Frame ----+----> FC Encoder --------> 8-dim feature vector (stable, trained)
+              |
+              +----> SNN (STDP) --------> 8-dim spike rate vector (adaptive, online)
+              |
+              +----> SONA Adapter -------> Weighted fusion of both signals
+```
+
+SONA (Self-Optimizing Neural Architecture) receives both signals and learns which source is more reliable for each output dimension. In a new environment where the FC encoder has not been retrained, SONA automatically weights the SNN output higher because it adapts faster. As the FC encoder is retrained on local data, SONA shifts weight back toward it.
+
+### Energy and Compute Budget
+
+| Metric | FC Encoder | SNN (STDP) | Ratio |
+|--------|-----------|------------|-------|
+| Compute per frame (idle room) | 8,192 MACs | ~50 spike events | ~160x less |
+| Compute per frame (active room) | 8,192 MACs | ~500 spike events | ~16x less |
+| Memory | 34 KB weights | 34 KB weights | Equal |
+| Adaptation | Offline retraining | Online, continuous | SNN wins |
+| Stability | High (frozen weights) | Lower (weights drift) | FC wins |
+| Latency to first useful output | Hours (needs training data) | ~30 seconds | SNN wins |
+
+The SNN's event-driven nature means it processes only spikes, not every subcarrier on every frame. In an idle room with no motion, subcarrier deltas are near zero, spike rates drop to near zero, and the SNN consumes negligible compute. This is ideal for battery-powered or thermally constrained deployments (ESP32, Cognitum Seed Pi Zero).
+
+### Deployment Targets
+
+| Platform | Runtime | Notes |
+|----------|---------|-------|
+| Node.js server | `require('@ruvector/spiking-neural')` | Primary. Receives UDP frames, runs SNN. |
+| Cognitum Seed (Pi Zero) | Node.js ARM | 34 KB model fits. ~0.06ms per step at 100 neurons. |
+| ESP32-S3 (WASM) | wasm3 interpreter | Optional. SNN weights exported as flat Float32Array. |
+| Browser | WebAssembly or JS | Via `wifi-densepose-wasm` crate's JS bindings. |
+
+### Multi-Channel SNN (ADR-073 Integration)
+
+With multi-frequency mesh scanning (ADR-073), the SNN input expands:
+
+- **Single-channel mode**: 128 input neurons (64 subcarriers x 2 for I/Q or amplitude/phase)
+- **Multi-channel mode**: 128 input neurons, but the subcarrier index rotates across channels. Each channel's subcarriers map to the same neuron indices, but at different time slots. The SNN's temporal dynamics naturally integrate cross-channel information because STDP operates across time.
+
+Alternatively, for maximum spectral diversity, a wider SNN (384 input neurons for 6 channels x 64 subcarriers) can be used on the server where memory is not constrained.
+
+## Performance Targets
+
+| Metric | Target | Method |
+|--------|--------|--------|
+| SNN step latency | <0.1ms | 128-64-8 network, ~8,700 synapses |
+| STDP convergence | <30 seconds | ~360 frames at 12 fps, patterns stabilize |
+| Output accuracy (after adaptation) | >80% | Compared to manually labeled ground truth |
+| Memory footprint | <50 KB | Weights + neuron state |
+| Idle room spike rate | <10 spikes/frame | Event-driven: near-zero compute when nothing moves |
+| Adaptation to new environment | <2 minutes | STDP relearns subcarrier correlations |
+
+## Risks
+
+### Weight Drift
+
+STDP learning never stops. In a stable environment, weights can slowly drift as the network over-fits to the current RF landscape. Mitigation: implement weight decay (multiply all weights by 0.999 per second) and clamp weights to [w_min, w_max].
+
+### Output Neuron Reassignment
+
+If the RF environment changes significantly (new furniture, different room), output neurons may reassign their specialization. The mapping from output neuron index to label (presence, motion, etc.) may change. Mitigation: periodically log the output neuron activity and detect reassignment events. Downstream consumers should use the spike pattern, not the neuron index, for classification.
+
+### Interference with FC Encoder
+
+If SONA naively averages the SNN and FC encoder outputs, a poorly adapted SNN could degrade overall accuracy. Mitigation: SONA uses confidence-weighted fusion. The SNN output includes a confidence signal (total spike count / expected spike count). Low confidence = low weight.
+
+### STDP Learning Rate Sensitivity
+
+If `a_plus` and `a_minus` are too high, the SNN oscillates and never converges. If too low, adaptation takes too long. The default values (0.005 and 0.003) are conservative. The script includes a `--learning-rate` flag for tuning.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+1. **Online gradient descent on FC encoder** — backprop through the FC network with each new frame. Rejected because: (a) requires a loss function, which requires labels; (b) continuous gradient updates on a small model lead to catastrophic forgetting of the pretrained representations.
+
+2. **Adaptive thresholds only** — replace fixed thresholds with exponentially-weighted moving averages. Rejected because: (a) single-variable thresholds cannot capture multi-subcarrier correlations; (b) no representation learning — each subcarrier is still processed independently.
+
+3. **Reservoir computing (Echo State Network)** — use a fixed random recurrent network as a temporal feature extractor. Partially viable, but: (a) requires a linear readout layer trained with labels; (b) the random reservoir does not adapt to the specific RF environment.
+
+4. **Train SNN with supervision** — use surrogate gradient methods to train the SNN on labeled data. Rejected because: (a) defeats the purpose of online unsupervised learning; (b) the `@ruvector/spiking-neural` package does not implement surrogate gradients.
+
+## Implementation
+
+The integration is implemented in `scripts/snn-csi-processor.js`, a standalone Node.js script that:
+
+1. Receives live CSI frames via UDP (port 5006, ADR-018 binary format)
+2. Decodes subcarrier I/Q data and computes amplitude deltas
+3. Feeds deltas through rate encoding into the SNN
+4. Applies STDP learning on every frame (online, unsupervised)
+5. Maps output neuron spike counts to sensing labels
+6. Prints real-time ASCII visualization of SNN activity
+7. Optionally forwards learned patterns to Cognitum Seed

+# ADR-075: Min-Cut Based Person Separation from Subcarrier Correlation
+
+- **Status:** Proposed
+- **Date:** 2026-04-02
+- **Issue:** #348 — `n_persons` always reports 4 regardless of actual occupancy
+- **Depends on:** ADR-016 (RuVector integration), ADR-041 (person tracking), ADR-073 (multifrequency mesh scan)
+
+## Context
+
+### The Bug
+
+Issue #348 reports that the ESP32 firmware's multi-person counting always reports
+`n_persons = 4`. The root cause is in the WASM edge module
+`sig_mincut_person_match.rs`, which uses a fixed `MAX_PERSONS = 4` constant and a
+threshold-based variance classifier to populate person slots. The classifier bins
+subcarriers into "dynamic" vs "static" using a single fixed variance threshold
+(`DYNAMIC_VAR_THRESH = 0.15`). In practice:
+
+1. The threshold is miscalibrated for real-world CSI data — almost any room with
+   multipath reflections pushes a majority of subcarriers above 0.15 variance.
+2. The subcarrier-to-person assignment uses a greedy Hungarian-lite matcher that
+   fills all 4 slots once there are >= 4 dynamic subcarriers (which is nearly
+   always the case).
+3. There is no mechanism to determine how many independent movers exist — the
+   algorithm assumes all 4 slots should be filled.
+
+### Prior Art
+
+The Rust crate `ruvector-mincut` (vendored at `vendor/ruvector/crates/ruvector-mincut/`)
+implements a full dynamic min-cut algorithm with O(n^{o(1)}) amortized update time,
+Stoer-Wagner exact min-cut, and online edge insert/delete. It is already integrated
+in the training pipeline (`wifi-densepose-train/src/metrics.rs`) via
+`DynamicPersonMatcher`.
+
+### WiFi Sensing Insight
+
+When a person moves through a room, they perturb the Fresnel zones of specific
+subcarrier frequencies. Subcarriers whose Fresnel zones overlap the person's body
+change **together** — their amplitudes are temporally correlated. When two people
+move independently, they create two **separate** groups of correlated subcarriers.
+This correlation structure forms a natural graph partitioning problem.
+
+## Decision
+
+Replace the fixed-threshold person counter with a spectral min-cut algorithm
+operating on the subcarrier temporal correlation graph. This runs in the bridge
+script (`scripts/mincut-person-counter.js`) or on Cognitum Seed, and feeds the
+corrected person count back to the feature vector before ingest.
+
+### Algorithm
+
+1. **Sliding window accumulation**: Maintain the last 2 seconds of subcarrier
+   amplitude data (~40 frames at 20 fps). Each frame provides a 64-element
+   amplitude vector (one per subcarrier).
+
+2. **Pairwise Pearson correlation**: For all subcarrier pairs (i, j), compute
+   the Pearson correlation coefficient over the sliding window:
+
+   ```
+   r(i,j) = cov(amp_i, amp_j) / (std(amp_i) * std(amp_j))
+   ```
+
+   This produces a 64x64 correlation matrix.
+
+3. **Graph construction**: Build a weighted undirected graph:
+   - **Nodes** = subcarriers (64 for single-antenna ESP32-S3, up to 128 for dual)
+   - **Edges** = pairs with |r(i,j)| > 0.3 (correlation threshold)
+   - **Weight** = |r(i,j)| (correlation strength)
+   - Discard null subcarriers (amplitude consistently near zero)
+   - Expected: ~1500-2500 edges for 64 active subcarriers
+
+4. **Iterative Stoer-Wagner min-cut**: Apply the Stoer-Wagner algorithm to find
+   the global minimum cut. If the min-cut weight is below a separation threshold
+   (empirically 2.0), the cut represents a real boundary between independent
+   movers. Split the graph at the cut and recurse on each partition.
+
+5. **Person count**: The number of partitions after all valid cuts = number of
+   independent movers = person count. A single connected component with high
+   internal correlation and no low-weight cut = 1 person (or 0 if variance is
+   also low).
+
+6. **Empty room detection**: If the total variance across all subcarriers is
+   below a noise floor threshold, report 0 persons regardless of graph structure.
+
+### Stoer-Wagner Algorithm
+
+Stoer-Wagner finds the exact global minimum cut of an undirected weighted graph
+in O(V * E) time using a sequence of "minimum cut phases":
+
+```
+function stoerWagner(G):
+    best_cut = infinity
+    while |V(G)| > 1:
+        (s, t, cut_of_phase) = minimumCutPhase(G)
+        if cut_of_phase < best_cut:
+            best_cut = cut_of_phase
+            best_partition = partition induced by t
+        merge(s, t)  // contract vertices s and t
+    return best_cut, best_partition
+
+function minimumCutPhase(G):
+    A = {arbitrary start vertex}
+    while A != V(G):
+        z = vertex most tightly connected to A
+        // "most tightly connected" = max sum of edge weights to A
+        add z to A
+    s = second-to-last vertex added
+    t = last vertex added (most tightly connected)
+    cut_of_phase = sum of weights of edges incident to t
+    return (s, t, cut_of_phase)
+```
+
+For V=64 subcarriers and E~2000 edges, this runs in ~8 million operations,
+well under 1ms on modern hardware and under 10ms even on ESP32-S3.
+
+### Integration Points
+
+```
+ESP32 Node 1 ──UDP 5006──┐
+                          ├──> mincut-person-counter.js ──> corrected n_persons
+ESP32 Node 2 ──UDP 5006──┘         │
+                                   ├──> seed_csi_bridge.py (feature dim 5 override)
+                                   └──> csi-graph-visualizer.js (debug view)
+```
+
+The person counter runs as a standalone Node.js process alongside the existing
+`rf-scan.js` and `seed_csi_bridge.py` bridge scripts. It can also replay
+recorded `.csi.jsonl` files for offline analysis.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Threshold-based peak counting (current, broken)
+
+Count subcarriers with variance above a threshold, then cluster by proximity.
+**Problem:** threshold is environment-dependent, miscalibrates easily, and
+cannot distinguish correlated from independent motion.
+
+### 2. PCA / spectral clustering on correlation matrix
+
+Compute eigenvectors of the correlation matrix; the number of large eigenvalues
+indicates the number of independent sources. **Problem:** requires choosing an
+eigenvalue gap threshold, which is as fragile as the current variance threshold.
+Also does not give per-person subcarrier assignments.
+
+### 3. Min-cut on correlation graph (this ADR)
+
+**Advantages:**
+- Directly models the physical structure (Fresnel zone groupings)
+- Threshold-free person counting (cut weight is a natural separation metric)
+- Produces per-person subcarrier groups as a side effect
+- Stoer-Wagner is simple to implement (~100 lines) and runs in polynomial time
+- Already validated in Rust via `ruvector-mincut` integration
+
+## Performance
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Graph size | V=64, E~2000 |
+| Stoer-Wagner complexity | O(V * E) = O(128,000) per cut |
+| Iterative cuts (max 4) | O(512,000) total |
+| Wall time (Node.js) | < 5 ms per 2-second window |
+| Wall time (Rust/WASM) | < 0.5 ms |
+| Memory | ~32 KB for correlation matrix + graph |
+| Sliding window | 2 seconds = ~40 frames * 64 subcarriers * 8 bytes = 20 KB |
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- Fixes #348: person count now reflects actual independent movers
+- Robust across environments (no per-room threshold calibration)
+- Per-person subcarrier groups enable per-person feature extraction
+- Graph visualization aids debugging and room mapping
+- Algorithm is well-understood (Stoer-Wagner, 1997)
+
+### Negative
+
+- Adds a new process to the sensing pipeline
+- 2-second latency for person count changes (sliding window)
+- Correlation-based: cannot detect stationary persons (no motion = no signal)
+- Assumes independent motion — two people walking in sync may be counted as one
+
+### Migration
+
+1. Deploy `scripts/mincut-person-counter.js` alongside existing bridge
+2. Override feature vector dimension 5 (`n_persons`) with corrected count
+3. Once validated, port Stoer-Wagner to C for direct ESP32-S3 firmware integration
+4. Deprecate the fixed-threshold `PersonMatcher` in `sig_mincut_person_match.rs`

+
+## Context
+
+The current CSI processing pipeline extracts an 8-dimensional hand-crafted feature vector per frame: mean amplitude, amplitude variance, max amplitude, mean phase, phase variance, bandwidth, spectral centroid, and RSSI. These features are effective for basic presence detection and room fingerprinting but discard the rich spatial-frequency structure present in the raw subcarrier data.
+
+A single CSI frame from an ESP32-S3 contains 64 subcarriers (or 128 in HT40 mode), each with I/Q components. When stacked over time, 20 consecutive frames form a **64x20 subcarrier-by-time matrix** — effectively a grayscale spectrogram image. This matrix encodes:
+
+1. **Frequency-selective fading** — metal objects create persistent null zones at specific subcarrier indices (visible as dark vertical stripes)
+2. **Doppler signatures** — human motion produces time-varying amplitude patterns across subcarriers (visible as horizontal wave patterns)
+3. **Multipath structure** — room geometry creates characteristic interference patterns unique to each environment
+4. **Activity fingerprints** — walking, sitting, breathing, and falling produce distinct 2D texture patterns in the subcarrier-time matrix
+
+These 2D structural patterns are invisible to the 8-dim feature vector, which collapses all subcarrier information into scalar statistics. A CNN embedding can preserve this spatial structure.
+
+### Existing Vendor Libraries
+
+**@ruvector/cnn** (v0.1.0) provides:
+- WASM-based CNN feature extraction (~5ms per 224x224 image, ~900KB model)
+- Configurable embedding dimension (default 512, we use 128 for compact storage)
+- L2-normalized embeddings with cosine similarity search
+- Contrastive training via InfoNCE and triplet loss
+- SIMD-optimized layer operations (batch norm, global average pooling, ReLU)
+- Works in both Node.js and browser environments
+
+**ruvector-graph-transformer** provides:
+- Sublinear O(n log n) graph attention via LSH bucketing and PPR sampling
+- Proof-gated mutation substrate for verified computations
+- Temporal causal attention with Granger causality (relevant for CSI time series)
+- Manifold attention on product spaces S^n x H^m x R^k
+
+**@ruvector/graph-wasm** (v2.0.2) provides:
+- Neo4j-compatible property graph database in WASM
+- Node/edge creation with arbitrary properties and embeddings
+- Hyperedge support for multi-node relationships
+- Cypher query language
+
+### Current Limitations of 8-dim Features
+
+| Limitation | Impact |
+|------------|--------|
+| No subcarrier-level information | Cannot distinguish frequency-selective vs broadband fading |
+| No temporal pattern encoding | Walking gait (periodic) looks identical to random motion (aperiodic) |
+| No 2D structure | Room fingerprint reduced to 8 numbers; two rooms with similar statistics are indistinguishable |
+| No cross-subcarrier correlation | Cannot detect standing waves, node patterns, or multipath clusters |
+| Poor kNN discrimination | 8 dimensions provides limited hypersphere surface area for separating environments |
+
+## Decision
+
+Treat the CSI subcarrier-by-time matrix as a grayscale spectrogram image and apply CNN embedding to produce a 128-dimensional representation that preserves 2D spatial-frequency structure. Use a graph transformer to fuse embeddings across multiple ESP32 nodes.

+
+### Step 1: CSI-to-Spectrogram Conversion
+
+Each ESP32 transmits CSI frames via UDP in ADR-018 binary format. The `iq_hex` field contains I/Q pairs for each subcarrier (2 bytes per subcarrier: I + Q as unsigned 8-bit values).
+
+```
+Amplitude[sc] = sqrt(I[sc]^2 + Q[sc]^2)
+```
+
+A sliding window of 20 frames produces a 64x20 matrix. Normalization to 0-255 grayscale:
+
+```
+pixel[sc][t] = clamp(255 * (amplitude[sc][t] - min) / (max - min), 0, 255)
+```
+
+Where `min` and `max` are computed over the entire 64x20 window for per-window contrast normalization. This ensures the CNN sees the relative structure regardless of absolute signal strength (which varies with distance, TX power, and environmental absorption).
+
+### Step 2: CNN Embedding
+
+The 64x20 grayscale matrix is resized to the CNN's expected input size (224x224 via nearest-neighbor upsampling, since we want to preserve the discrete subcarrier structure rather than blur it with bilinear interpolation). The input is replicated across 3 channels (RGB) since @ruvector/cnn expects RGB input.
+
+Configuration:
+- **Input**: 224x224x3 (upsampled from 64x20, grayscale replicated to RGB)
+- **Embedding dimension**: 128 (reduced from default 512 for compact storage and faster kNN)
+- **Normalization**: L2-enabled (cosine similarity = dot product on unit sphere)
+- **Latency**: ~5ms per window on modern hardware
+
+The 128-dim embedding encodes the 2D structure of the spectrogram: null zones, Doppler patterns, multipath signatures, and activity textures.
+
+### Step 3: Graph Transformer for Multi-Node Fusion
+
+With 2 ESP32 nodes (generalizable to N), we construct a graph:
+
+```
+Nodes: {Node_1, Node_2}
+Edges: {(Node_1, Node_2, weight=cross_correlation)}
+Node features: 128-dim CNN embedding per node
+```
+
+The graph attention mechanism learns which node is more informative for each prediction:
+
+1. **Query/Key/Value** from each node's 128-dim embedding
+2. **Edge weight** = Pearson cross-correlation between the two nodes' raw amplitude vectors (captures how much their CSI observations agree)
+3. **Attention score** = softmax(Q_i * K_j / sqrt(d) + edge_weight_bias)
+4. **Output** = weighted sum of value vectors
+
+This produces a fused 128-dim vector that combines both nodes' perspectives, automatically weighting the node with cleaner signal (higher SNR, less fading) more heavily.
+
+**Generalization to 3+ nodes**: Adding a third ESP32 adds one node and 2 edges to the graph. The attention mechanism handles variable-size graphs without architecture changes.
+
+### Step 4: Storage and Search
+
+The fused 128-dim embedding is stored in Cognitum Seed (ADR-069) alongside the existing 8-dim features:
+
+| Store | Dimension | Content | Use Case |
+|-------|-----------|---------|----------|
+| `csi-features` | 8-dim | Hand-crafted statistics | Fast presence detection |
+| `csi-spectrograms` | 128-dim | CNN spectrogram embedding | Environment fingerprinting, anomaly detection |
+| `csi-spectrograms-fused` | 128-dim | Graph-fused multi-node embedding | Cross-viewpoint room signature |
+
+kNN search on the 128-dim store finds past spectrograms that "look like" the current one:
+- **Environment fingerprinting**: "What room does this RF pattern match?"
+- **Cross-room transfer**: "Which training room is most similar to this deployment room?"
+- **Anomaly detection**: Low similarity to all known patterns = unknown environment or novel activity
+- **Temporal segmentation**: Similarity drops = activity transition boundaries
+
+### Comparison: 8-dim vs 128-dim vs Combined
+
+| Property | 8-dim hand-crafted | 128-dim CNN | Combined |
+|----------|-------------------|-------------|----------|
+| Subcarrier structure | Lost | Preserved | Both available |
+| Temporal patterns | Lost | Preserved (20-frame window) | Both |
+| Computation | ~0.1ms | ~5ms | ~5ms |
+| Storage per vector | 32 bytes | 512 bytes | 544 bytes |
+| kNN discrimination | Low (8-dim curse) | High (128-dim surface) | Highest |
+| Interpretability | High (named features) | Low (learned) | Mixed |
+| Training required | No | Optional (pre-trained works) | Optional |
+| Multi-node fusion | Average/max | Graph attention | Graph attention |
+
+### Contrastive Training (Optional Enhancement)
+
+The CNN embedding works out-of-the-box with the pre-trained weights. For domain-specific improvements, contrastive training with CSI data:
+
+1. **Positive pairs**: Same room, different time windows (should embed similarly)
+2. **Negative pairs**: Different rooms or different activities (should embed differently)
+3. **Loss**: InfoNCE with temperature 0.07 (standard SimCLR)
+4. **Augmentation**: Time-shift (slide window by 1-5 frames), subcarrier dropout (zero 10% of rows), amplitude jitter (multiply by uniform [0.8, 1.2])
+
+This teaches the CNN that "same room at different times" should produce similar embeddings, while "different rooms" should produce different embeddings.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+1. **Richer representation**: 128 dimensions capture 2D structure that 8 dimensions cannot
+2. **Environment fingerprinting**: kNN on spectrograms can distinguish rooms that look identical in 8-dim feature space
+3. **Activity detection**: Temporal patterns (gait periodicity, breathing frequency) are encoded in the spectrogram texture
+4. **Multi-node fusion**: Graph attention automatically weights the most informative node, improving robustness to single-node occlusion or interference
+5. **Incremental adoption**: 128-dim store operates alongside 8-dim store; no migration needed
+6. **Browser-compatible**: WASM-based CNN runs in the sensing-server UI for live visualization
+
+### Negative
+
+1. **5ms latency per window**: Acceptable for 1.3 Hz update rate (750ms rotation from ADR-073), but constrains real-time applications
+2. **900KB model download**: One-time cost, cached after first load
+3. **128-dim storage**: 16x more bytes per vector than 8-dim; mitigated by the fact that we store one embedding per 20-frame window (not per frame)
+4. **Opaque embeddings**: Unlike named 8-dim features, CNN embeddings are not human-interpretable
+5. **Input size mismatch**: 64x20 matrix must be upsampled to 224x224; nearest-neighbor preserves structure but wastes computation on padded regions
+
+### Risks and Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| CNN embeddings not discriminative enough for CSI | Contrastive fine-tuning on CSI spectrograms; fall back to 8-dim if 128-dim kNN recall is worse |
+| Graph transformer overhead for 2-node graph | Lightweight attention (single head, no MLP); O(1) for 2 nodes |
+| Upsampling artifacts from 64x20 to 224x224 | Nearest-neighbor preserves discrete structure; consider training a smaller CNN on native 64x20 input |
+| WASM initialization delay | Call `init()` at server startup, not per-request |

+# ADR-077: Novel RF Sensing Applications
+
+**Status:** Accepted  
+**Date:** 2026-04-02  
+**Authors:** ruv  
+**Depends on:** ADR-018 (CSI binary protocol), ADR-073 (multifrequency mesh scan), ADR-075 (MinCut person separation), ADR-076 (CSI spectrogram embeddings)
+
+## Context
+
+The existing ESP32 CSI + Cognitum Seed infrastructure collects rich multi-modal data:
+- 2 ESP32-S3 nodes streaming CSI at ~22 fps each (64-128 subcarriers, channel hopping ch 1/3/5/6/9/11)
+- Vitals extraction: breathing rate, heart rate, motion energy, presence score (1 Hz per node)
+- 8-dimensional feature vectors per frame
+- Cognitum Seed with BME280 (temp/humidity/pressure), PIR, reed switch, vibration sensor
+
+No new hardware is required. All 6 applications below derive novel insights from data already being collected via the ADR-018 binary protocol over UDP port 5006.
+
+## Decision
+
+Implement 6 novel RF sensing applications as standalone Node.js scripts that process live UDP or replayed `.csi.jsonl` recordings.
+
+---
+
+## Application 1: Sleep Quality Monitoring
+
+### Input
+Breathing rate (BR) and heart rate (HR) time series from vitals packets (0xC5110002), sampled at ~1 Hz per node over 6-8 hours.
+
+### Algorithm
+Sliding window analysis (5-minute windows, 1-minute stride) classifying sleep stages:
+
+| Stage | BR (BPM) | BR Variance | HR Pattern | Motion |
+|-------|----------|-------------|------------|--------|
+| **Deep (N3)** | 6-12 | Very low (<2.0) | Slow, regular | None |
+| **Light (N1/N2)** | 12-18 | Moderate (2.0-8.0) | Normal | Minimal |
+| **REM** | 15-25 | High (>8.0), irregular | Elevated | Eyes only (low CSI motion) |
+| **Awake** | >18 or <6 | Any | Variable | Moderate-high |
+
+Each 5-minute window is scored by:
+1. Compute BR mean and variance within the window
+2. Compute HR mean and coefficient of variation (CV)
+3. Compute motion energy mean (from vitals `motion_energy` field)
+4. Classify stage using threshold hierarchy: Awake > REM > Light > Deep
+
+### Output
+- Real-time sleep stage classification
+- ASCII hypnogram (time vs. stage)
+- Summary: total sleep time, sleep efficiency (TST / time in bed), time per stage
+- Optional JSON for health app integration
+
+### Validation
+Overnight recording (`overnight-1775217646.csi.jsonl`, 113k frames, ~40 min) should show:
+- Transition from active (awake) to resting states
+- Decreased motion energy over time
+- BR stabilization in sleeping segments
+
+### Clinical Relevance
+Consumer-grade sleep tracking without wearables. RF-based sensing avoids compliance issues (forgotten wristbands, dead batteries). Not diagnostic; informational only.
+
+---
+
+## Application 2: Breathing Disorder Screening (Apnea Detection)
+
+### Input
+Breathing rate time series from vitals packets at ~1 Hz.
+
+### Algorithm
+Detect respiratory events in the BR time series:
+
+| Event | Definition | Duration |
+|-------|-----------|----------|
+| **Apnea** | BR drops below 3 BPM (effective cessation) | >= 10 seconds |
+| **Hypopnea** | BR drops > 50% from 5-min rolling baseline | >= 10 seconds |
+
+Scoring:
+1. Maintain 5-minute rolling baseline BR (exponential moving average)
+2. Flag apnea when BR < 3 BPM for >= 10 consecutive seconds
+3. Flag hypopnea when BR < 50% of baseline for >= 10 consecutive seconds
+4. Compute AHI (Apnea-Hypopnea Index) = total events / hours monitored
+
+| AHI | Severity |
+|-----|----------|
+| < 5 | Normal |
+| 5-15 | Mild |
+| 15-30 | Moderate |
+| > 30 | Severe |
+
+### Output
+- Per-event log: type (apnea/hypopnea), start time, duration, BR during event
+- Hourly AHI and overall AHI
+- Severity classification
+- Alert on severe events (consecutive apneas > 30s)
+
+### Clinical Relevance
+Pre-screening tool for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Provides motivation for clinical polysomnography referral. Not a diagnostic device; informational pre-screen only.
+
+---
+
+## Application 3: Emotional State / Stress Detection
+
+### Input
+Heart rate time series from vitals packets at ~1 Hz.
+
+### Algorithm
+Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis:
+
+1. **RMSSD** (Root Mean Square of Successive Differences):
+   - Compute successive HR differences within 5-minute windows
+   - RMSSD = sqrt(mean(diff^2))
+   - High RMSSD = high vagal tone = relaxed
+   - Low RMSSD = sympathetic dominance = stressed
+
+2. **LF/HF Ratio** (via FFT on 5-minute HR windows):
+   - LF band: 0.04-0.15 Hz (sympathetic + parasympathetic)
+   - HF band: 0.15-0.40 Hz (parasympathetic)
+   - High LF/HF (> 2.0) = stressed
+   - Low LF/HF (< 1.0) = relaxed
+
+3. **Stress Score** (0-100):
+   - `score = 50 * (1 - RMSSD_norm) + 50 * LF_HF_norm`
+   - Where `RMSSD_norm` = RMSSD / max_expected_RMSSD (capped at 1.0)
+   - And `LF_HF_norm` = min(LF_HF / 4.0, 1.0)
+
+### Output
+- Real-time stress score (0-100)
+- RMSSD and LF/HF ratio per window
+- ASCII trend chart over hours
+- Activity context correlation (motion level vs. stress)
+
+### Validation
+- Periods of activity (walking, working) should correlate with higher stress scores
+- Quiet rest should show lower scores
+- Sleeping should show lowest scores (high HRV, low LF/HF)
+
+---
+
+## Application 4: Gait Analysis / Movement Disorder Detection
+
+### Input
+- Motion energy time series from vitals packets
+- CSI phase variance from raw CSI frames (0xC5110001)
+- Cross-node RSSI from vitals packets
+
+### Algorithm
+
+1. **Cadence Extraction**: FFT on motion_energy within 5-second sliding windows
+   - Walking cadence: dominant frequency 0.8-2.0 Hz (normal: ~1.0 Hz = 120 steps/min)
+   - Running: > 2.0 Hz
+   - Stationary: no dominant peak
+
+2. **Stride Regularity**: Autocorrelation of motion_energy
+   - Regular walking: strong autocorrelation peak at step period
+   - Irregularity score = 1 - (peak_height / baseline)
+
+3. **Asymmetry Detection**: Compare motion energy oscillation between two ESP32 nodes
+   - Symmetric gait: both nodes see similar oscillation period and amplitude
+   - Asymmetry index = |period_node1 - period_node2| / mean_period
+
+4. **Tremor Detection**: High-frequency phase variance analysis
+   - Compute phase variance per subcarrier in 2-second windows
+   - Tremor band: 3-8 Hz component in phase variance time series
+   - Parkinsonian tremor: 4-6 Hz, resting
+   - Essential tremor: 5-8 Hz, action
+
+### Output
+- Cadence (steps/min)
+- Stride regularity score (0-1)
+- Asymmetry index (0 = symmetric, 1 = highly asymmetric)
+- Tremor score and dominant frequency
+- Walking vs. stationary classification
+
+### Validation
+Overnight data should show clear stationary periods with no cadence detected. Any walking segments should show cadence in the 0.8-2.0 Hz range.
+
+---
+
+## Application 5: Material/Object Change Detection
+
+### Input
+Per-subcarrier amplitude from raw CSI frames (0xC5110001).
+
+### Algorithm
+
+1. **Baseline Establishment** (first 10 minutes or configurable):
+   - Record mean amplitude per subcarrier (Welford online mean)
+   - Record null pattern: which subcarriers are below null threshold (amplitude < 2.0)
+
+2. **Change Detection** (sliding 30-second windows):
+   - Compare current null pattern to baseline
+   - New nulls appearing = new metal object blocking RF path
+   - Existing nulls disappearing = metal object removed
+   - Null position shifted = object moved
+   - Amplitude change without null change = non-metal material (wood, water, glass)
+
+3. **Material Classification** heuristic:
+   - Metal: sharp null (amplitude drops to near 0 on specific subcarriers)
+   - Water/human: broad amplitude reduction across many subcarriers
+   - Wood/plastic: minimal amplitude change, mostly phase shift
+   - Glass: frequency-selective (affects higher subcarriers more)
+
+### Output
+- Change events with timestamp, type (add/remove/move), affected subcarrier range
+- Estimated material category
+- Null pattern delta visualization (ASCII)
+- Event timeline for monitoring
+
+### Validation
+Overnight data has 19% null baseline. Changes in null pattern over the recording period indicate environment changes (doors opening/closing, person entering/leaving).
+
+---
+
+## Application 6: Room Environment Fingerprinting
+
+### Input
+- 8-dimensional feature vectors from feature packets (0xC5110003)
+- Motion energy and presence score from vitals packets
+
+### Algorithm
+
+1. **Online Clustering** using running k-means (k=5, updateable centroids):
+   - Each incoming 8-dim feature vector is assigned to nearest centroid
+   - Centroid updated via exponential moving average (alpha=0.01)
+   - New cluster created if distance to all centroids exceeds threshold
+
+2. **State Labeling** (heuristic from vitals correlation):
+   - Cluster with lowest motion_energy = "empty/sleeping"
+   - Cluster with highest motion_energy = "active/walking"
+   - Intermediate clusters = "resting", "working", "transitional"
+
+3. **Transition Tracking**:
+   - Build state transition matrix (from_state -> to_state counts)
+   - Detect anomalous transitions (rare in historical data)
+
+4. **Daily Profile**:
+   - Aggregate state durations per hour
+   - Compare across days for routine detection
+
+### Output
+- Current room state and confidence
+- State timeline (ASCII)
+- Transition matrix
+- Daily pattern profile
+- Anomaly score (deviation from established daily pattern)
+
+### Validation
+Overnight recording should show 2-3 stable clusters corresponding to activity periods at different times. Transitions should be infrequent and correspond to real behavioral changes.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation
+
+All scripts share common infrastructure:
+- ADR-018 binary packet parsing (same as rf-scan.js, mincut-person-counter.js)
+- JSONL replay via readline interface
+- Live UDP via dgram
+- Pure Node.js, no external dependencies
+- CLI: `--replay <file>` for offline, `--port <N>` for live, `--json` for programmatic output

+## Consequences

+| **Depends** | ADR-018 (binary frame), ADR-029 (channel hopping), ADR-073 (multi-frequency mesh scan) |
+
+## Context
+
+ADR-073 established multi-frequency mesh scanning: 2 ESP32-S3 nodes hopping across 6 WiFi channels (1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11) with 9 neighbor WiFi networks as passive illuminators. This ADR defines 5 sensing applications that are **unique to multi-frequency mesh scanning** and impossible with single-channel WiFi sensing.
+
+### Why Multi-Frequency is Required
+
+Single-channel WiFi sensing captures CSI on one frequency (e.g., channel 5 at 2432 MHz). This provides amplitude and phase across ~52-64 OFDM subcarriers within a 20 MHz bandwidth. Multi-frequency mesh scanning extends this to 6 channels spanning 2412-2462 MHz (50 MHz total), with each channel providing independent multipath observations. The applications below exploit the frequency dimension that single-channel sensing cannot access.
+
+### Available Infrastructure
+
+| Resource | Detail |
+|----------|--------|
+| Node 1 (COM7) | ESP32-S3, channels 1, 6, 11 (non-overlapping), 200ms dwell |
+| Node 2 | ESP32-S3, channels 3, 5, 9 (interleaved, near neighbor APs), 200ms dwell |
+| Neighbor APs | 9 networks across channels 3, 5, 6, 9, 11 |
+| Data transport | UDP port 5006, ADR-018 binary format |
+| Recorded data | `data/recordings/overnight-*.csi.jsonl` |

+
+## Decision
+
+Implement 5 multi-frequency-specific sensing applications, each as a standalone Node.js script in `scripts/`.
+
+---
+
+## Application 1: RF Tomographic Imaging
+
+### Principle
+
+Each WiFi channel "sees" through the room differently because multipath interference patterns are frequency-dependent. A 2 cm path length difference produces a null at 2432 MHz but constructive interference at 2412 MHz. With 6 channels x 2 nodes, we have 12 independent RF path observations through the room.
+
+RF tomography back-projects attenuation along each transmitter-receiver path. Where paths overlap with high attenuation, there is an absorbing object (person, furniture, wall). Where paths show low attenuation, the space is clear.
+
+### Algorithm
+
+```
+For each CSI frame:
+  1. Compute path attenuation = RSSI_free_space - RSSI_measured
+  2. For each cell in a 10x10 room grid:
+     a. Compute the cell's distance to the TX->RX line (perpendicular distance)
+     b. Weight contribution by 1/distance (cells near the path contribute more)
+  3. Accumulate weighted attenuation across all frames, channels, and node pairs
+  4. Normalize: cells with high accumulated attenuation = absorbers (people/objects)
+```
+
+Uses the Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) for iterative refinement, or simple backprojection for real-time display.
+
+### Resolution
+
+- Theoretical: ~lambda/2 = 6 cm (at 2.4 GHz)
+- Practical with 2 nodes: ~20 cm (limited by node geometry)
+- Frequency diversity gain: sqrt(6) improvement over single-channel = ~2.4x
+
+### Why Single-Channel Cannot Do This
+
+Single-channel provides only 1 frequency observation per path. Frequency-selective fading means a single channel may show zero attenuation through a person (if the path happens to be at a constructive interference point). Multiple channels provide independent attenuation measurements through the same spatial path, enabling reliable detection.
+
+### Script
+
+`scripts/rf-tomography.js`
+
+---
+
+## Application 2: Passive Bistatic Radar
+
+### Principle
+
+Neighbor WiFi APs transmit continuously and uncontrollably. The ESP32 nodes capture CSI from these transmissions, which includes phase and amplitude modulated by objects in the room. Each neighbor AP acts as a free "illuminator of opportunity" at a known position and frequency.
+
+This is the same principle used by military passive radar systems (e.g., the Ukrainian Kolchuga, Czech VERA-NG) that use FM radio and TV transmitters to detect aircraft without emitting any signals themselves. Here we use WiFi APs instead of broadcast towers, and detect people instead of aircraft.
+
+### Algorithm
+
+```
+For each neighbor AP (identified by BSSID/channel):
+  1. Track CSI phase progression across consecutive frames
+  2. Compute Doppler shift: fd = d(phase)/dt / (2*pi)
+     - Positive Doppler = target moving toward the AP
+     - Negative Doppler = target moving away
+  3. Compute range from subcarrier phase slope:
+     - tau = d(phase)/d(subcarrier_freq) / (2*pi)
+     - range = c * tau (where c = speed of light)
+  4. Build range-Doppler map per AP
+  5. Fuse multi-static detections:
+     - Each AP provides a range ellipse (locus of constant TX->target->RX delay)
+     - Intersection of 3+ ellipses = target position
+```
+
+### Multi-Static Geometry
+
+With 3+ neighbor APs as transmitters and 2 ESP32 receivers, we have 6+ bistatic pairs. Each pair constrains the target to an ellipse. The intersection provides 2D position.
+
+```
+         AP1 (ch5)        AP2 (ch11)
+           \                /
+            \   TARGET    /
+             \   /|\    /
+              \ / | \ /
+    ESP32_1 ---*--+--*--- ESP32_2
+              / \ | / \
+             /   \|/    \
+            /   TARGET   \
+           /                \
+         AP3 (ch3)        AP4 (ch9)
+```
+
+### Why Single-Channel Cannot Do This
+
+Single-channel only captures CSI from APs on that one channel. With channel 5, you see ruv.net and Cohen-Guest, but miss COGECO-21B20 (ch11), conclusion mesh (ch3), NETGEAR72 (ch9). Multi-frequency scanning captures illumination from all 9 APs across 6 channels, providing the geometric diversity needed for position triangulation.

+
+## Application 3: Frequency-Selective Material Classification
+
+### Principle
+
+Different materials interact with 2.4 GHz WiFi signals differently, and critically, their absorption/reflection varies with frequency:
+
+| Material | Attenuation Pattern | Frequency Dependence |
+|----------|--------------------|--------------------|
+| Metal | Total reflection, deep null | Frequency-flat (blocks all equally) |
+| Water/Human body | Strong absorption | Increases with frequency (dielectric loss ~ f^2) |
+| Wood | Mild attenuation | Increases with frequency (moisture content) |
+| Glass | Low attenuation | Nearly frequency-flat |
+| Drywall | Low-moderate attenuation | Slight frequency dependence |
+| Concrete | Moderate-high attenuation | Increases with frequency |
+
+### Algorithm
+
+```
+For each subcarrier index i across all channels:
+  1. Measure attenuation A(i, ch) on each channel
+  2. Compute frequency selectivity:
+     - Flat ratio = std(A across channels) / mean(A across channels)
+     - Slope = linear regression of A vs frequency
+  3. Classify:
+     - Flat ratio < 0.1 AND high attenuation -> Metal
+     - Flat ratio < 0.1 AND low attenuation -> Glass/Air
+     - Positive slope (A increases with freq) AND high A -> Water/Human
+     - Positive slope AND moderate A -> Wood
+     - High variance across channels -> Complex scatterer
+```
+
+### Physics Basis
+
+At 2.4 GHz, water's complex permittivity is epsilon_r = 77 - j10. The imaginary component (loss) increases with frequency within the WiFi band. Metal is a perfect conductor regardless of frequency. Glass (epsilon_r ~ 6 - j0.1) has negligible loss at all WiFi frequencies.
+
+The 50 MHz span (2412-2462 MHz) is only ~2% of the carrier frequency, but this is sufficient to detect the frequency-dependent absorption signature of water-bearing materials (human body, wet wood, potted plants) versus frequency-flat materials (metal, glass).
+
+### Why Single-Channel Cannot Do This
+
+Material classification requires measuring how attenuation varies with frequency. A single channel provides only one frequency point -- there is no frequency axis to measure against. Multi-frequency scanning provides 6 frequency points spanning 50 MHz, enabling slope and variance computation.
+
+### Script
+
+`scripts/material-classifier.js`
+
+---
+
+## Application 4: Through-Wall Motion Detection
+
+### Principle
+
+Lower WiFi frequencies penetrate walls better than higher frequencies. At 2.4 GHz, wall attenuation for a standard drywall+stud partition is approximately:
+
+| Channel | Freq (MHz) | Drywall Loss (dB) | Concrete Loss (dB) |
+|---------|------------|-------------------|-------------------|
+| 1 | 2412 | 2.5 | 8.0 |
+| 6 | 2437 | 2.6 | 8.3 |
+| 11 | 2462 | 2.7 | 8.6 |
+
+The absolute differences are small (~0.2 dB), but with 6 channels we can:
+
+1. **Baseline the wall's frequency-dependent attenuation profile** during a calibration period (no one behind the wall)
+2. **Detect changes above baseline** that indicate motion behind the wall
+3. **Weight lower channels more heavily** since they have better through-wall SNR
+4. **Cross-validate** across channels: real through-wall motion appears on all channels (with frequency-dependent amplitude), while interference/noise typically appears on only one channel
+
+### Algorithm
+
+```
+Calibration phase (60 seconds, no motion behind wall):
+  For each channel ch:
+    baseline_mean[ch] = mean(CSI amplitude over calibration)
+    baseline_std[ch] = std(CSI amplitude over calibration)
+
+Detection phase:
+  For each frame on channel ch:
+    1. Compute deviation = |current_amplitude - baseline_mean[ch]| / baseline_std[ch]
+    2. Channel weight = f(penetration_quality[ch])
+    3. Per-channel score = deviation * weight
+  
+  Fused score = weighted sum across channels
+  Alert if fused_score > threshold for N consecutive frames
+```
+
+### Why Single-Channel Cannot Do This
+
+Single-channel through-wall detection suffers from high false-positive rates because it cannot distinguish wall effects from motion. With multi-frequency, we can:
+
+1. Characterize the wall's frequency response during calibration
+2. Subtract the wall effect per channel
+3. Cross-validate detections across channels (real motion is coherent across frequencies; noise is not)
+
+The frequency diversity provides a ~2.4x improvement in detection SNR (sqrt(6) independent observations).
+

+
+## Application 5: Device Fingerprinting via RF Emissions
+
+### Principle
+
+Every electronic device has unique RF characteristics visible in the WiFi spectrum. When a device transmits (or even when its internal oscillators radiate EMI), it modulates nearby WiFi signals in device-specific ways:
+
+- **WiFi APs**: each AP has unique transmit power, phase noise, and clock drift characteristics
+- **Printers**: the HP M255 LaserJet creates specific subcarrier patterns when printing (motor EMI)
+- **Microwave ovens**: 2.45 GHz magnetron radiates across channels 8-11, creating distinctive wideband interference
+- **Bluetooth devices**: 2.4 GHz frequency-hopping creates transient spikes across channels
+
+### Algorithm
+
+```
+Learning phase:
+  For each known device (from WiFi scan SSID/BSSID correlation):
+    1. Record CSI patterns when device is active vs inactive
+    2. Compute per-channel signature:
+       - Mean amplitude profile across subcarriers
+       - Variance profile (active devices increase variance on specific subcarriers)
+       - Phase noise characteristics
+    3. Store signature as device fingerprint
+
+Detection phase:
+  For each analysis window:
+    1. Compute current CSI profile per channel
+    2. Correlate against stored fingerprints
+    3. Report device activity: "HP printer active (confidence 0.87)"
+```
+
+### Multi-Frequency Advantage
+
+Different devices affect different channels:
+
+- HP printer (ch5): affects subcarriers 20-40 on channel 5 during print jobs
+- NETGEAR72 router (ch9): creates clock-drift correlated phase patterns on channel 9
+- Microwave: broadband interference strongest on channels 9-11
+
+Single-channel sensing only sees devices that affect that one channel. Multi-frequency scanning observes the full 2412-2462 MHz band, detecting device activity regardless of which channel the device operates on.
+
+### Script
+
+`scripts/device-fingerprint.js`
+
+---
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Shared Infrastructure
+
+All 5 scripts share common infrastructure:
+
+| Component | Detail |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Packet format | ADR-018 binary (UDP) or .csi.jsonl (replay) |
+| IQ parsing | `parseIqHex()` for JSONL, `parseCSIFrame()` for binary UDP |
+| Channel assignment | From binary freq field, or simulated round-robin for legacy JSONL |
+| Node positions | Configurable, default: Node 1 at (0,0), Node 2 at (3,0) meters |
+| Visualization | ASCII Unicode block characters and box drawing |
+
+### Scripts
+
+| Script | Application | Lines | Key Algorithm |
+|--------|------------|-------|---------------|
+| `scripts/rf-tomography.js` | RF Tomographic Imaging | ~500 | ART backprojection |
+| `scripts/passive-radar.js` | Passive Bistatic Radar | ~500 | Range-Doppler + multi-static fusion |
+| `scripts/material-classifier.js` | Material Classification | ~450 | Frequency-selective attenuation analysis |
+| `scripts/through-wall-detector.js` | Through-Wall Detection | ~400 | Baselined multi-channel anomaly detection |
+| `scripts/device-fingerprint.js` | Device Fingerprinting | ~450 | Per-channel signature correlation |
+
+### Data Requirements
+
+- **Live mode**: UDP port 5006, 2 ESP32 nodes channel-hopping per ADR-073
+- **Replay mode**: `--replay <file.csi.jsonl>` with overnight recordings
+- **Calibration**: through-wall detector requires 60s calibration with `--calibrate`
+
+## Performance Targets
+
+| Application | Latency | Update Rate | Accuracy Target |
+|-------------|---------|-------------|-----------------|
+| RF Tomography | <100ms per frame | 1 Hz image update | 20 cm spatial resolution |
+| Passive Radar | <200ms per frame | 2 Hz range-Doppler | 1 m range, 0.1 m/s velocity |
+| Material Classification | <500ms per window | 0.5 Hz classification | 70% correct material ID |
+| Through-Wall Detection | <100ms per frame | 2 Hz detection | 90% true positive, <10% false positive |
+| Device Fingerprinting | <1s per window | 0.2 Hz activity update | 80% correct device ID |
+
+## Risks
+
+### Limited Frequency Span
+
+The 50 MHz span (2412-2462 MHz) is only 2% of the carrier frequency. Material classification accuracy depends on the attenuation slope being measurable within this narrow range. Mitigation: use long averaging windows (5-10 seconds) to improve SNR of frequency-dependent measurements.
+
+### Node Geometry
+
+2 nodes provide limited spatial diversity for tomographic imaging. The backprojection is essentially 1D along the node-to-node axis, with poor resolution perpendicular to it. Mitigation: neighbor APs provide additional geometric diversity for passive radar mode.
+
+### Legacy Data Compatibility
+
+Overnight recordings (`data/recordings/overnight-*.csi.jsonl`) were captured before multi-frequency scanning was deployed and lack channel/frequency fields. Scripts simulate channel assignment for replay. Full multi-frequency data requires re-recording with channel hopping enabled.
+
+### Phase Calibration
+
+Passive radar requires accurate phase tracking across consecutive frames. ESP32 CSI phase includes a random offset per channel hop that must be removed. Mitigation: use phase-difference between consecutive frames rather than absolute phase.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+1. **5 GHz multi-frequency**: rejected -- no 5 GHz APs visible in environment, no free illuminators.
+2. **UWB (ultra-wideband)**: rejected -- ESP32-S3 does not support UWB. Would require additional hardware (DW1000/DW3000 modules).
+3. **Dedicated radar hardware**: rejected -- multi-frequency WiFi sensing achieves similar capabilities using existing infrastructure at zero additional cost.

+# WiFi-DensePose: See Through Walls with WiFi + AI
+
+**Detect people, track movement, and measure breathing -- through walls, without cameras, using a $27 sensor kit.**
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| **License** | MIT |
+| **Framework** | ONNX Runtime |
+| **Hardware** | ESP32-S3 ($9) + optional Cognitum Seed ($15) |
+| **Training** | Self-supervised contrastive learning (no labels needed) |
+| **Privacy** | No cameras, no images, no personally identifiable data |
+
+---
+
+## What is this?
+
+This model turns ordinary WiFi signals into a human sensing system. It can detect whether someone is in a room, count how many people are present, classify what they are doing, and even measure their breathing rate -- all without any cameras.
+
+**How does it work?** Every WiFi router constantly sends signals that bounce off walls, furniture, and people. When a person moves -- or even just breathes -- those bouncing signals change in tiny but measurable ways. WiFi chips can capture these changes as numbers called *Channel State Information* (CSI). Think of it like ripples in a pond: drop a stone and the ripples tell you something happened, even if you cannot see the stone.
+
+This model learned to read those "WiFi ripples" and figure out what is happening in the room. It was trained using a technique called *contrastive learning*, which means it taught itself by comparing thousands of WiFi signal snapshots -- no human had to manually label anything.
+
+The result is a small, fast model that runs on a $9 microcontroller and preserves complete privacy because it never captures images or audio.
+
+---
+
+## What can it do?
+
+| Capability | Accuracy | What you need | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Presence detection** | >95% | 1x ESP32-S3 ($9) | Is anyone in the room? |
+| **Motion classification** | >90% | 1x ESP32-S3 ($9) | Still, walking, exercising, fallen |
+| **Breathing rate** | +/- 2 BPM | 1x ESP32-S3 ($9) | Best when person is sitting or lying still |
+| **Heart rate estimate** | +/- 5 BPM | 1x ESP32-S3 ($9) | Experimental -- less accurate during movement |
+| **Person counting** | 1-4 people | 2x ESP32-S3 ($18) | Uses cross-node signal fusion |
+| **Pose estimation** | 17 COCO keypoints | 2x ESP32-S3 + Seed ($27) | Full skeleton: head, shoulders, elbows, etc. |

+
+### Encoder
+
+- **Type:** Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN)
+- **Input:** 8-dimensional feature vector extracted from raw CSI
+- **Output:** 128-dimensional embedding
+- **Parameters:** ~2.5M
+- **Format:** ONNX (runs on any platform with ONNX Runtime)
+
+### Task Heads
+
+- **Type:** Small MLPs (multi-layer perceptrons), one per task
+- **Input:** 128-dim embedding from the encoder
+- **Output:** Task-specific predictions (presence, count, activity, vitals)
+- **Parameters:** ~100K total across all heads
+- **Format:** ONNX
+
+### Feature extraction (runs on ESP32-S3)
+
+The ESP32-S3 captures raw CSI frames at ~100 Hz and computes 8 summary features per window:
+
+| Feature | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `amplitude_mean` | Average signal strength across subcarriers |
+| `amplitude_std` | Variation in signal strength (movement indicator) |
+| `phase_slope` | Rate of phase change across subcarriers |
+| `doppler_energy` | Energy in the Doppler spectrum (velocity indicator) |
+| `subcarrier_variance` | How much individual subcarriers differ |
+| `temporal_stability` | Consistency of signal over time (stillness indicator) |
+| `csi_ratio` | Ratio between antenna pairs (direction indicator) |
+| `spectral_entropy` | Randomness of the frequency spectrum |
+
+---
+
+## Training Data
+
+### How it was trained
+
+This model was trained using **self-supervised contrastive learning**, which means it learned entirely from unlabeled WiFi signals. No cameras, no manual annotations, and no privacy-invasive data collection were needed.
+
+The training process works like this:
+
+1. **Collect** raw CSI frames from ESP32-S3 nodes placed in a room
+2. **Extract** 8-dimensional feature vectors from sliding windows of CSI data
+3. **Contrast** -- the model learns that features from nearby time windows should produce similar embeddings, while features from different scenarios should produce different embeddings
+4. **Fine-tune** task heads using weak labels from environmental sensors (PIR motion, temperature, pressure) on the Cognitum Seed companion device
+
+### Data provenance
+
+- **Source:** Live CSI from 2x ESP32-S3 nodes (802.11n, HT40, 114 subcarriers)
+- **Volume:** ~360,000 CSI frames (~3,600 feature vectors) per collection run
+- **Environment:** Residential room, ~4x5 meters
+- **Ground truth:** Environmental sensors on Cognitum Seed (PIR, BME280, light)
+- **Attestation:** Every collection run produces a cryptographic witness chain (`collection-witness.json`) that proves data provenance and integrity
+
+### Witness chain
+
+The `collection-witness.json` file contains a chain of SHA-256 hashes linking every step from raw CSI capture through feature extraction to model training. This allows anyone to verify that the published model was trained on data collected by specific hardware at a specific time.
+
+---
+
+## Hardware Requirements
+
+### Minimum: single-node sensing ($9)
+
+| Component | What it does | Cost | Where to get it |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| ESP32-S3 (8MB flash) | Captures WiFi CSI + runs feature extraction | ~$9 | Amazon, AliExpress, Adafruit |
+| USB-C cable | Power + data | ~$3 | Any electronics store |
+
+This gets you: presence detection, motion classification, breathing rate.
+
+### Recommended: dual-node sensing ($18)
+
+Add a second ESP32-S3 to enable cross-node signal fusion for better accuracy and person counting.
+
+### Full setup: sensing + ground truth ($27)
+
+| Component | What it does | Cost |
+|---|---|---|
+| 2x ESP32-S3 (8MB) | WiFi CSI sensing nodes | ~$18 |
+| Cognitum Seed (Pi Zero 2W) | Runs inference + collects ground truth | ~$15 |
+| USB-C cables (x3) | Power + data | ~$9 |
+| **Total** | | **~$27** |
+
+The Cognitum Seed runs the ONNX models on-device, orchestrates the ESP32 nodes over USB serial, and provides environmental ground truth via its onboard PIR and BME280 sensors.

+### RuVector format (.rvf)
+
+The `.rvf` file contains pre-computed embeddings in RuVector format, used by the RuView application for advanced multi-node fusion and cross-viewpoint pose estimation. You only need this if you are using the full RuView pipeline. For basic inference, the ONNX files are sufficient.
+
+---
+
+## How to use with RuView
+
+[RuView](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView) is the open-source application that ties everything together: firmware flashing, real-time sensing, and a browser-based dashboard.
+
+### 1. Flash firmware to ESP32-S3
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView.git
+cd RuView
+
+# Flash firmware (requires ESP-IDF v5.4 or use pre-built binaries from Releases)
+# See the repo README for platform-specific instructions
+```
+
+### 2. Download models
+
+```bash
+pip install huggingface_hub
+huggingface-cli download ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained --local-dir models/
+```
+
+### 3. Run inference
+
+```bash
+# Start the CSI bridge (connects ESP32 serial output to the inference pipeline)
+python scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py --port COM7 --model models/pretrained-encoder.onnx
+
+# Or run the full sensing server with web dashboard
+cargo run -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server
+```
+
+### 4. Adapt to your room
+
+The model works best after a brief calibration period (~60 seconds of no movement) to learn the baseline signal characteristics of your specific room. The `room-profiles.json` file contains example profiles; the system will create one for your environment automatically.
+
+---
+
+## Limitations
+
+Be honest about what this technology can and cannot do:
+
+- **Room-specific.** The model needs a short calibration period in each new environment. A model calibrated in a living room will not work as well in a warehouse without re-adaptation.
+- **Single room only.** There is no cross-room tracking. Each room needs its own sensing node(s).
+- **Person count accuracy degrades above 4.** Counting works well for 1-3 people, becomes unreliable above 4 in a single room.
+- **Vitals require stillness.** Breathing and heart rate estimation work best when the person is sitting or lying down. Accuracy drops significantly during walking or exercise.
+- **Heart rate is experimental.** The +/- 5 BPM accuracy is a best-case figure. In practice, cardiac sensing via WiFi is still a research-stage capability.
+- **Wall materials matter.** Metal walls, concrete reinforced with rebar, or foil-backed insulation will significantly attenuate the signal and reduce range.
+- **WiFi interference.** Heavy WiFi traffic from other devices can add noise. The system works best on a dedicated or lightly-used WiFi channel.
+- **Not a medical device.** Vital sign estimates are for informational and research purposes only. Do not use them for medical decisions.
+
+---
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **Elder care:** Non-invasive fall detection and activity monitoring without cameras
+- **Smart home:** Presence-based lighting and HVAC control
+- **Security:** Occupancy detection through walls
+- **Sleep monitoring:** Breathing rate tracking overnight
+- **Research:** Low-cost human sensing for academic experiments
+- **Disaster response:** The MAT (Mass Casualty Assessment Tool) uses this model to detect survivors through rubble via WiFi signal reflections
+
+---
+
+## Ethical Considerations
+
+WiFi sensing is a privacy-preserving alternative to cameras, but it still detects human presence and activity. Consider these points:
+
+- **Consent:** Always inform people that WiFi sensing is active in a space.
+- **No biometric identification:** This model cannot identify *who* someone is -- only that someone is present and what they are doing.
+- **Data minimization:** Raw CSI data is processed on-device and only summary features or embeddings leave the sensor. No images, audio, or video are ever captured.
+- **Dual use:** Like any sensing technology, this can be misused for surveillance. We encourage transparent deployment and clear signage.

+- ESP32 firmware: `firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/protocol_v2.h`
+- Rust parser: `wifi-densepose-hardware/src/protocol_v2.rs`
+
+**Design rationale:**
+- Fixed 8-byte header with magic number for frame synchronization
+- Half-precision (f16) for compressed features saves 50% bandwidth vs f32
+- Heartbeat enables Pi Zero to detect node failures and rebalance
+- Raw CSI mode for debugging; compressed mode for production

+### Action 2: Implement Lightweight Model Architecture

+cost:           10 days
+priority:       CRITICAL (core inference capability)
+preconditions:  [training_pipeline, onnx_inference_engine]
+effects:        [lightweight_model := true, temporal_conv_module := true]
+```
+
+**Architecture: WiFlowPose (hybrid WiFlow + MultiFormer)**
+
+Based on SOTA analysis, we define a custom architecture combining the best elements:
+
+```
+Input: CSI amplitude tensor [B, T, S]
+  B = batch size
+  T = temporal window (20 frames at 20 Hz = 1 second context)
+  S = subcarriers (52 for ESP32-S3 20MHz, 114 for 40MHz)
+
+Stage 1: Temporal Encoder (runs on ESP32 optionally, or Pi Zero)
+  TCN with 4 layers, dilation [1, 2, 4, 8]
+  Input:  [B, T, S] = [B, 20, 52]
+  Output: [B, T', C_t] = [B, 20, 64] (temporal features)
+
+Stage 2: Spatial Encoder (runs on Pi Zero)
+  Asymmetric convolution blocks (1xk kernels on subcarrier dimension)
+  4 residual blocks: 64 -> 128 -> 128 -> 64 channels
+  Subcarrier compression: 52 -> 26 -> 13 -> 7
+  Output: [B, 64, 7]
+
+Stage 3: Keypoint Decoder (runs on Pi Zero)
+  Axial self-attention (2-stage, 4 heads)
+  Reshape to [B, 17, 64] (17 keypoints x 64 features)
+  Linear projection: 64 -> 2 (x, y coordinates)
+  Output: [B, 17, 2] (17 COCO keypoints, normalized 0-1)
+
+Optional Stage 4: Multi-person (Phase 2)
+  PAF branch: predict 19 limb affinity fields
+  Hungarian assignment for person grouping
+```
+
+**Estimated model size:**
+- Temporal encoder: ~0.5M params
+- Spatial encoder: ~1.2M params
+- Keypoint decoder: ~0.8M params
+- Total: ~2.5M params
+- INT8 size: ~2.5 MB
+- FP16 size: ~5 MB

+priority:       HIGH
+preconditions:  [training_pipeline, lightweight_model]
+effects:        [bone_constraint_loss := true]
+```
+
+**Loss function following WiFlow:**
+
+```
+L_total = L_keypoint + lambda_bone * L_bone + lambda_physics * L_physics
+
+L_keypoint = SmoothL1(pred, gt, beta=0.1)
+
+L_bone = (1/|B|) * sum_{(i,j) in bones} | ||pred_i - pred_j|| - bone_length_{ij} |
+
+L_physics = (1/N) * sum_t max(0, ||pred_t - pred_{t-1}|| - v_max * dt)
+```
+
+Where:
+- `bones` = 14 COCO bone connections (e.g., left_shoulder-left_elbow)
+- `bone_length_{ij}` = average human bone length ratios (normalized to torso length)
+- `v_max` = maximum physiologically plausible keypoint velocity (2 m/s for walking, 10 m/s for fast gestures)
+- `lambda_bone = 0.2`, `lambda_physics = 0.1`
+
+**Bone length ratios (normalized to torso = shoulder_center to hip_center = 1.0):**

+
+### Action 4: Implement INT8 Quantization Pipeline
+
+```
+name:           implement_int8_quantization

+priority:       HIGH
+preconditions:  [lightweight_model, training_pipeline]
+effects:        [int8_quantization := true]
+```
+
+**Approach: Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) with calibration**
+
+1. Train model in FP32 using standard pipeline
+2. Export to ONNX format
+3. Run ONNX Runtime quantization tool with calibration dataset:
+   - Collect 1000 representative CSI frames across multiple environments
+   - Run calibration to determine per-layer quantization ranges
+   - Apply symmetric INT8 quantization for weights, asymmetric for activations
+4. Validate quantized model accuracy (target: <2% PCK@20 degradation)
+
+**Quantization-aware considerations:**
+- TCN layers: quantize per-channel (dilated convolutions are sensitive to quantization)
+- Attention layers: keep attention logits in FP16 (softmax is numerically sensitive)
+- Output layer: keep in FP32 (final coordinate regression needs precision)
+
+**Rust implementation:**
+```rust
+// In wifi-densepose-nn/src/quantize.rs
+pub struct QuantizationConfig {
+    /// Quantization method
+    pub method: QuantMethod, // PTQ, QAT, Dynamic
+    /// Per-layer precision overrides
+    pub layer_overrides: HashMap<String, Precision>,
+    /// Calibration dataset path
+    pub calibration_data: PathBuf,
+    /// Number of calibration samples
+    pub num_calibration_samples: usize,
+    /// Target accuracy degradation threshold
+    pub max_accuracy_loss: f32,
+}
+
+pub enum Precision {
+    INT8,
+    FP16,
+    FP32,
+}
+```
+
+**ONNX quantization command (for build pipeline):**

+# cross build --target armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf ...
+```
+
+**ONNX Runtime linking for ARM:**
+- Use `ort` crate with `download-binaries` feature for automatic aarch64 binary download

+priority:       MEDIUM
+preconditions:  [esp32_csi_capture, esp32_pi_protocol]
+effects:        [csi_compression := true]
+```
+
+**Three compression tiers:**
+
+**Tier 0: No compression (raw CSI)**
+- Payload: 52 subcarriers x 2 (I/Q) x 2 bytes = 208 bytes per frame
+- Use case: debugging, maximum fidelity
+
+**Tier 1: PCA-16 (run on ESP32)**
+- Pre-computed PCA projection matrix (52 -> 16 dimensions)
+- Stored in NVS flash during provisioning
+- Payload: 16 features x 2 bytes (f16) = 32 bytes per frame
+- Compression: 6.5x
+- Compute: ~0.1ms on ESP32-S3 (matrix-vector multiply, SIMD)
+
+**Tier 2: PCA-32 (higher fidelity)**
+- 52 -> 32 dimensions
+- Payload: 32 x 2 = 64 bytes
+- Compression: 3.25x
+
+**Tier 3: Learned autoencoder (future)**
+- ESP32-S3 has enough compute for a small encoder (~10K params)
+- Requires quantized encoder weights in flash
+- Most bandwidth-efficient but requires training
+
+**PCA computation (offline, during provisioning):**
+
+```rust
+// wifi-densepose-train/src/compression.rs
+
+/// Compute PCA projection matrix from calibration CSI data
+pub fn compute_pca_projection(
+    calibration_data: &[CsiFrame],
+    target_dims: usize,
+) -> PcaProjection {
+    // 1. Stack all CSI amplitude vectors into matrix [N, S]
+    // 2. Center (subtract mean)
+    // 3. Compute covariance matrix [S, S]
+    // 4. Eigendecomposition, take top `target_dims` eigenvectors
+    // 5. Return projection matrix [S, target_dims] and mean vector [S]
+    // ...
+}
+
+pub struct PcaProjection {
+    /// Projection matrix [num_subcarriers, target_dims]
+    pub matrix: Vec<f32>,
+    /// Mean vector for centering [num_subcarriers]

+    /// Number of input subcarriers
+    pub input_dims: usize,
+    /// Number of output features
+    pub output_dims: usize,
+}
+```
+
+**ESP32 firmware integration:**
+- Store PCA matrix in NVS partition (32x52x4 = 6.5 KB for PCA-32)
+- Apply projection in CSI callback before UDP transmission
+- Selectable via provisioning command
+
+### Action 7: Implement Cross-Environment Adaptation
+
+```
+name:           implement_cross_env_adaptation
+cost:           8 days
+priority:       MEDIUM (Phase 2)
+preconditions:  [lightweight_model, training_pipeline, pi_zero_deployment]
+effects:        [cross_env_adaptation := true]
+```
+
+**Approach: Rapid environment calibration with few-shot adaptation**
+
+Inspired by Arena Physica's template-based design space and MERIDIAN (ADR-027):
+
+1. **Environment fingerprinting (on Pi Zero, at deployment time):**
+   - Collect 60 seconds of "empty room" CSI
+   - Compute room signature: mean amplitude profile, delay spread, K-factor
+   - Match to nearest room template (corridor, office, bedroom, etc.)
+   - Load template-specific model weights
+
+2. **Few-shot fine-tuning (optional, on workstation):**
+   - Collect 5 minutes of calibration data with known poses
+   - Fine-tune last 2 layers of the model (~50K params)
+   - Transfer updated model back to Pi Zero
+
+3. **Online adaptation (continuous, on Pi Zero):**
+   - Track CSI statistics over time (sliding window mean/variance)
+   - Detect distribution shift (KL divergence exceeds threshold)
+   - Apply batch normalization statistics update (no gradient computation needed)
+
+**Implementation location:** `wifi-densepose-train/src/rapid_adapt.rs` (extend existing module)
+
+### Action 8: Implement Multi-Person PAF Decoding
+
+```
+name:           implement_multi_person_paf
+cost:           6 days
+priority:       LOW (Phase 2)
+preconditions:  [lightweight_model, bone_constraint_loss]
+effects:        [multi_person_paf := true]
+```
+
+**Architecture (following MultiFormer):**
+
+Add a PAF branch to the WiFlowPose model:
+
+```
+Stage 3 features [B, 64, 7]
+  |
+  +--> Keypoint head: [B, 17, 2] (single-person keypoints)
+  |
+  +--> PAF head: [B, 38, H, W] (19 limb affinity fields)
+  |
+  +--> Confidence head: [B, 19, H, W] (part confidence maps)
+```
+
+**Multi-person assignment on Pi Zero:**
+1. Extract candidate keypoints from confidence maps via NMS
+2. Compute PAF integral scores between candidate pairs
+3. Solve bipartite matching with Hungarian algorithm
+4. Group keypoints into person instances
+
+**Estimated additional cost:** ~1M parameters, ~10ms additional inference time
+
+### Action 9: Implement 3D Pose Lifting
+
+```
+name:           implement_3d_pose_lifting
+cost:           5 days
+priority:       LOW (Phase 3)
+preconditions:  [lightweight_model, multi_person_paf, multistatic_fusion]
+effects:        [3d_pose_lifting := true]
+```
+
+**Approach: Multi-view triangulation + learned depth prior**
+
+With 2+ ESP32 nodes at known positions, compute 3D pose via:
+
+1. Each node pair provides a different viewing angle of the WiFi field
+2. 2D pose from each viewpoint is estimated independently
+3. Epipolar geometry constrains 3D position from 2D observations
+4. Learned depth prior resolves ambiguities (front/back confusion)
+
+This leverages the existing `viewpoint/geometry.rs` module in wifi-densepose-ruvector which already computes GeometricDiversityIndex and Fisher Information for multi-node configurations.

+
+## 6. Training Pipeline
+
+### 6.1 Training Workflow
+
+```
+Phase 1: Pre-train on public datasets (GPU workstation)
+  Dataset: MM-Fi + Wi-Pose (Intel 5300 format, 30 subcarriers)
+  Model: WiFlowPose with 30 subcarriers
+  Loss: L_keypoint + 0.2 * L_bone + 0.1 * L_physics
+  Duration: ~20 hours on single A100
+
+Phase 2: Domain adaptation for ESP32 CSI (GPU workstation)
+  Dataset: Self-collected ESP32-S3 data (52 subcarriers)
+  Method: Fine-tune all layers with lower learning rate (1e-4)
+  Subcarrier interpolation: 30 -> 52 using existing interpolate_subcarriers()
+  Duration: ~4 hours
+
+Phase 3: Quantization (CPU workstation)
+  Method: Post-training quantization with 1000 calibration samples
+  Format: ONNX INT8 (QDQ format)
+  Validation: PCK@20 degradation < 2%
+
+Phase 4: Environment calibration (on Pi Zero)
+  Method: 60-second empty-room CSI collection
+  Output: Room fingerprint + PCA matrix
+  Duration: ~2 minutes total
+```
+
+### 6.2 Dataset Collection Protocol
+
+For self-collected ESP32 training data:
+
+1. **Setup:** 2 ESP32-S3 nodes at opposite corners of 4x4m room, Pi Zero receiving
+2. **Ground truth:** Smartphone camera running MediaPipe Pose (30 FPS), synchronized via NTP
+3. **Activities:** Standing, walking, sitting, waving, falling, idle (2 minutes each)
+4. **Subjects:** 5+ volunteers with varying body types
+5. **Environments:** 3+ rooms (bedroom, office, corridor) for generalization
+6. **Total target:** ~100K synchronized CSI-pose frame pairs
+
+**Synchronization approach:**
+- ESP32 and Pi Zero synchronized via NTP (< 10ms accuracy on LAN)
+- Camera frames timestamped with system clock
+- Offline alignment via cross-correlation of movement signals
+
+### 6.3 Transfer Learning Strategy
+
+Following DensePose-WiFi's proven approach:
+
+```
+L_total = lambda_pose * L_pose
+        + lambda_bone * L_bone
+        + lambda_transfer * L_transfer
+        + lambda_physics * L_physics
+
+L_transfer = MSE(features_student, features_teacher)
+```
+
+Where `features_teacher` come from a pre-trained image-based pose model (HRNet or ViTPose) and `features_student` come from the WiFi CSI model at corresponding intermediate layers.
+
+**Lambda schedule:**
+- Epochs 1-20: lambda_transfer = 0.5 (heavy transfer guidance)
+- Epochs 20-50: lambda_transfer = 0.2 (moderate guidance)
+- Epochs 50-100: lambda_transfer = 0.05 (fine-tuning freedom)

+# Analysis: Arena Physica and Atlas RF Studio
+
+## Company Overview
+
+Arena Physica positions itself as building "Electromagnetic Superintelligence" -- a foundation model trained directly on electromagnetic fields, one of the four fundamental forces of physics.
+
+**Website:** https://www.arenaphysica.com/
+**Key Product:** Atlas RF Studio (Beta)
+**Core Models:** Heaviside-0 (forward prediction), Marconi-0 (inverse design)
+
+## Technical Architecture
+
+### Heaviside-0: Forward Electromagnetic Model
+
+A transformer-based neural network that predicts S-parameters (scattering parameters) from circuit geometry.
+
+**Performance claims:**
+- Weighted MAE: < 1 dB
+- Speed: 13ms per design vs 4 minutes for traditional EM solvers
+- Speedup: 18,000x to 800,000x over commercial solvers (HFSS, CST)
+
+**Architecture insights:**
+- Transformer backbone (specific architecture undisclosed)
+- Trained on electromagnetic field data, not just input-output mappings
+- Field augmentation acts as a regularizer -- even 0.3% field coverage during training reduced OOD loss
+
+### Marconi-0: Inverse Design Model
+
+A diffusion-based generative model that produces physical RF geometries matching target S-parameter specifications.
+
+**Approach:**
+- Iterative refinement (diffusion process)
+- Generates "alien structures" -- non-intuitive geometries that meet specs
+- Trades compute time for quality (more diffusion steps = better designs)
+
+### Training Data
+
+**Simulated data:** 3 million designs across 25 expert templates with procedural variations, plus random organic structures to force learning in unexplored design space regions.
+
+**Measured data:** Fabricated designs tested with vector network analyzers to capture manufacturing tolerances, material variations, connector parasitics.
+
+**Total claimed:** 20M+ simulated designs in the broader training set.
+
+### Current Design Space
+
+- 2-layer PCB designs (8mm x 8mm)
+- 3 dielectric material choices
+- Ground vias
+- Filters and antennas
+
+## Key Technical Insight: Fields as Fundamental Quantities
+
+Arena Physica's central thesis is that Maxwell's equations govern electromagnetic fields, and models trained on field distributions learn the underlying physics rather than surface-level correlations between geometry and S-parameters.
+
+This is directly relevant to WiFi sensing because:
+
+1. **CSI IS an electromagnetic field measurement.** WiFi Channel State Information captures the complex transfer function H(f) between transmitter and receiver antennas across frequency subcarriers. This is a discrete sampling of the electromagnetic field in the propagation environment.
+
+2. **Human bodies perturb the electromagnetic field.** Pose estimation from WiFi works because the human body (70% water, high permittivity) creates measurable perturbations in the ambient electromagnetic field.
+
+3. **Foundation model approach could apply to sensing.** A model trained on electromagnetic field distributions in rooms with human bodies could potentially generalize across environments better than models trained on CSI-to-pose mappings directly.
+
+## Relevance to WiFi-DensePose Project
+
+### Direct Applicability: Moderate
+
+Arena Physica's current focus is RF component design (filters, antennas), not sensing. However, several concepts transfer directly:
+
+### 1. Physics-Informed Neural Architecture
+
+Arena Physica trains on the electromagnetic field itself, not just input-output pairs. We should adopt this principle:
+
+**Current approach in wifi-densepose:**
+```
+CSI amplitude/phase -> CNN/Transformer -> Keypoint coordinates
+```
+
+**Physics-informed approach inspired by Arena Physica:**
+```
+CSI amplitude/phase -> Field reconstruction -> Body perturbation extraction -> Pose estimation
+```
+
+Concretely, this means adding an intermediate field reconstruction stage that produces a spatial electromagnetic field map (similar to our existing `tomography.rs` module in RuvSense) and then extracting body perturbation from the field rather than going directly from CSI to pose.
+
+### 2. Forward Model for Data Augmentation
+
+Heaviside-0 predicts S-parameters from geometry. An analogous forward model for WiFi sensing would predict CSI from (room geometry + human pose). This enables:
+
+- **Synthetic training data generation:** Generate CSI samples for arbitrary room layouts and poses
+- **Domain adaptation:** Bridge the sim-to-real gap by training the forward model on measured data
+- **Physics-based data augmentation:** Perturb room geometry parameters to generate diverse training environments
+
+This directly addresses our MERIDIAN cross-environment generalization challenge (ADR-027).
+
+### 3. Diffusion-Based Inverse Models
+
+Marconi-0 uses diffusion to solve the inverse problem (S-parameters -> geometry). The analogous inverse problem for WiFi sensing is (CSI -> pose). Recent work on diffusion-based pose estimation could be adapted:
+
+- Generate multiple pose hypotheses from a single CSI observation
+- Score hypotheses by physical plausibility (bone length constraints, joint angle limits)
+- Select the highest-scoring hypothesis
+
+This is more robust than single-shot regression for ambiguous CSI measurements.
+
+### 4. Multi-Resolution Field Representation
+
+Arena Physica operates on 2-layer PCB designs at the mm scale. WiFi sensing operates at the wavelength scale (12.5 cm at 2.4 GHz). However, the principle of multi-resolution field representation applies:
+
+- **Coarse grid:** Room-level field structure (presence detection, zone occupancy)
+- **Medium grid:** Body-level perturbation (bounding box, silhouette)
+- **Fine grid:** Limb-level detail (keypoint localization)
+
+This maps to our existing RuvSense tomography module which implements RF tomography on a voxel grid, but suggests a multi-resolution approach would be more efficient.
+
+## Adaptation Strategy for ESP32 + Pi Zero Deployment
+
+### What to borrow from Arena Physica:
+
+1. **Field-augmented training:** During training (on GPU workstation), include an auxiliary loss that encourages the model to predict the electromagnetic field distribution, not just keypoints. This regularizes the model and improves OOD generalization. At inference time on Pi Zero, the field prediction head is pruned.
+
+2. **Lightweight forward model:** Train a small forward model (CSI predictor given room parameters) on the ESP32 side. This enables on-device anomaly detection: if observed CSI deviates significantly from the forward model prediction, flag the observation as potentially adversarial or corrupted.
+
+3. **Template-based design space:** Arena Physica uses 25 expert templates with procedural variations. We should define "room templates" (corridor, open office, bedroom, living room) and train specialized lightweight models per template, selected at deployment time.
+
+### What does NOT transfer:
+
+1. **Scale of training data:** 20M+ designs is infeasible for WiFi sensing. Real CSI data collection is expensive. Synthetic data (ray tracing simulation) partially addresses this but lacks the fidelity of Arena Physica's EM simulations.
+
+2. **Diffusion models on edge:** Marconi-0's diffusion approach is too computationally expensive for Pi Zero inference. We need single-shot architectures for real-time operation.
+
+3. **2D geometry inputs:** Arena Physica processes 2D PCB layouts. WiFi sensing requires processing time-series data with complex spatial structure. The input representations are fundamentally different.
+
+## Conclusions
+
+Arena Physica demonstrates that foundation models trained on electromagnetic field data achieve superior generalization compared to models trained on input-output mappings alone. The key transferable insights for WiFi-DensePose are:
+
+1. **Train on fields, not just observations** -- include field reconstruction as an auxiliary task
+2. **Use forward models for augmentation** -- predict CSI from room+pose for synthetic data
+3. **Multi-resolution representations** -- coarse-to-fine field reconstruction improves efficiency
+4. **Template-based specialization** -- room-type-specific models improve accuracy with lower compute
+
+These insights inform the implementation plan, particularly the training pipeline design and the novel "field-augmented" training approach proposed in the implementation plan.

+
+```json
+{
+  "AUTH0_AUDIENCE": "https://api.emfm.atlas.arena-ai.com",
+  "ATLAS_DOMAIN": "rf",
+  "ATLAS_REQUIRE_TOS": true,
+  "POLL_FOR_MESSAGES": false,
+  "ENABLE_HOTJAR": false,
+  "SHOW_DEBUG_LOGS": false
+}
+```
+
+Key observations:
+- `POLL_FOR_MESSAGES: false` -- Messages likely use WebSocket/SSE push rather than polling
+- `ENABLE_HOTJAR: false` -- Session replay disabled in production
+- `SHOW_DEBUG_LOGS: false` -- Debug mode off
+- The `emfm` in the API domain likely stands for "ElectroMagnetic Field Model"
+
+### 3.4 3D Visualization via Unreal Engine
+
+The most technically interesting finding: Studio connects to an Unreal Engine server (IP: 52.61.97.121, AWS us-west region) for 3D electromagnetic field visualization.
+
+**Likely architecture:**
+1. User submits design geometry in the Next.js frontend
+2. Backend runs Heaviside-0/Marconi-0 inference
+3. S-parameter results and field distribution data sent to Unreal Engine instance
+4. Unreal Engine renders 3D field visualization (E-field, H-field, current distributions)
+5. Pixel streaming sends rendered frames back to browser via WebRTC/WebSocket
+6. Interactive controls (rotate, zoom, slice planes) forwarded to Unreal Engine
+
+This is consistent with Unreal Engine's Pixel Streaming technology, which renders on a remote GPU and streams video to a web browser. The `52.61.97.121` IP being hardcoded suggests a dedicated rendering server or fleet.
+
+**Unreal Engine WebSocket Protocol** (standard):
+- Signaling server negotiates WebRTC connection
+- Control messages: `{ type: "input", data: { ... } }` for mouse/keyboard
+- Video stream: H.264/VP8 encoded, streamed via WebRTC data channel
+- Bidirectional: user input -> Unreal, rendered frames -> browser
+
+### 3.5 Data Formats (Inferred)
+
+Based on the S-parameter focus:
+
+**Input (Design Specification):**
+- Target S-parameters: S11, S21, S12, S22 (magnitude + phase vs frequency)
+- Frequency range (likely GHz, given RF focus)
+- Material properties (dielectric constant, loss tangent)
+- Geometric constraints (layer count, max dimensions)
+
+**Output (Design Result):**
+- Geometry: likely a discretized grid (64x64 binary material map based on Not Boring article)
+- S-parameters: complex-valued frequency response curves
+- Field distributions: 2D/3D electromagnetic field maps
+- Performance metrics: return loss, insertion loss, bandwidth
+
+**Probable API format** (speculative, based on EM conventions):
+```json
+{
+  "design": {
+    "layers": [
+      {
+        "geometry": [[0,1,1,0,...], ...],  // Binary material grid
+        "material": "FR4",
+        "thickness_mm": 0.2
+      }
+    ],
+    "vias": [{"x": 3, "y": 5, "radius_mm": 0.15}],
+    "dielectric": "rogers_4003c"
+  },
+  "simulation": {
+    "s_parameters": {
+      "frequencies_ghz": [1.0, 1.1, ..., 40.0],
+      "s11_mag_db": [-5.2, -5.4, ...],
+      "s11_phase_deg": [45.2, 44.8, ...],
+      "s21_mag_db": [-0.3, -0.3, ...]
+    },
+    "field_data": {
+      "type": "near_field",
+      "grid_size": [64, 64],
+      "e_field_magnitude": [[...], ...]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+
+## 4. UI Components and Features
+
+### 4.1 Observed UI Elements
+
+Based on page source analysis:
+
+- **Dark theme** with custom fonts (Rules family -- geometric sans-serif)
+- **Icon system** ("IconMark" component -- likely a custom RF/EM icon set)
+- **Responsive design** via Mantine breakpoints
+- **ToS gate** requiring acceptance before use
+- **Organization-scoped access** (Auth0 org-based multi-tenancy)
+
+### 4.2 Likely Feature Set (inferred from product description and tech stack)
+
+| Feature | Description | UI Component |
+|---|---|---|
+| Specification Input | Enter target S-parameters, frequency range, constraints | Form with frequency sweep chart |
+| Design Canvas | View/edit 2D geometry layers | Interactive grid editor |
+| S-parameter Viewer | Plot S11/S21/S12/S22 vs frequency | Interactive chart (likely Recharts or D3) |
+| 3D Field Viewer | Visualize E/H field distributions | Unreal Engine pixel-streamed viewport |
+| Design History | Browse previous designs and iterations | List/card view with thumbnails |
+| Compare View | Side-by-side design comparison | Split-pane layout |
+| Export | Download design files (Gerber, GDSII, S-parameter Touchstone) | Download buttons |
+
+### 4.3 Agentic Workflow UI
+
+Atlas RF Studio describes "agentic workflows" that:
+1. Accept natural-language or parametric specifications
+2. Generate multiple candidate designs
+3. Simulate each candidate
+4. Present ranked results
+5. Allow iterative refinement
+
+This suggests an LLM chat interface (translating intent to specs) alongside the technical EM visualization. The pairing of LLM + LFM (Large Field Model) is explicitly described in their architecture.
+
+
+## 5. Lessons for Our Sensing Server UI
+
+### 5.1 Architecture Patterns to Adopt
+
+| Arena Physica Pattern | Application to wifi-densepose sensing-server |
+|---|---|
+| Dark theme default | Already appropriate for a sensing/monitoring dashboard |
+| Next.js + Mantine | Consider for our sensing-server UI (currently Axum + vanilla) |
+| Auth0 multi-tenancy | Overkill for local deployment; useful for cloud/multi-site |
+| Unreal Engine 3D | Too heavy; use Three.js/WebGL for 3D pose visualization |
+| WebSocket push (not polling) | Match our real-time CSI streaming needs |
+| Feature flags (DevCycle) | Useful for gradual feature rollout |
+| Datadog RUM | Consider lightweight alternative (e.g., self-hosted analytics) |
+
+### 5.2 Visualization Approaches
+
+**What Arena visualizes:**
+- S-parameters (frequency-domain complex response) -- charts
+- Electromagnetic field distributions -- 3D heatmaps
+- Design geometry -- 2D grid with material layers
+
+**What we need to visualize:**
+- CSI amplitude/phase across subcarriers -- frequency-domain charts (similar to S-parameters)
+- Person occupancy heatmap -- 2D/3D voxel grid (similar to field visualization)
+- Pose skeleton overlay -- 2D/3D joint rendering
+- Vital signs (HR, BR) -- time-series charts
+- Node mesh topology -- graph visualization
+- Signal quality metrics -- dashboard gauges
+
+**Shared patterns:**
+- Both need real-time frequency-domain data visualization
+- Both show spatial field/occupancy distributions
+- Both benefit from interactive 3D (but at different scales)
+- Both require low-latency streaming from computation backend
+
+### 5.3 Data Flow Architecture Comparison
+
+**Arena Physica:**
+```
+Browser (Next.js) -> API (inference) -> Heaviside-0/Marconi-0 -> Unreal Engine -> Pixel Stream -> Browser
+```
+
+**wifi-densepose (recommended):**
+```
+ESP32 nodes -> sensing-server (Axum) -> WebSocket -> Browser (React/Mantine)
+                    |
+                    v
+              RuvSense pipeline -> pose/vitals -> WebSocket -> Browser
+```
+
+Key difference: Arena renders 3D on the server (Unreal Engine) and streams pixels. We should render 3D on the client (Three.js/WebGL) and stream data, because:
+- Our 3D scenes are simpler (skeleton + voxels vs. full EM field)
+- Client-side rendering avoids GPU server costs
+- Lower latency for real-time sensing feedback
+- Works offline / on local network
+
+### 5.4 API Design Lessons
+
+**Arena's API pattern** (REST + WebSocket):
+- REST for design submission and retrieval
+- WebSocket/SSE for live simulation progress and results
+- Auth0 JWT for authentication
+- Organization-scoped resources
+
+**Recommended for sensing-server:**
+- REST endpoints for configuration, history, calibration
+- WebSocket for real-time CSI, pose, and vitals streaming
+- Optional: SSE as fallback for environments where WebSocket is blocked
+- API key or local-only access (no OAuth needed for embedded deployment)
+
+**Proposed WebSocket protocol for sensing-server:**
+```json
+// Server -> Client: CSI frame
+{
+  "type": "csi_frame",
+  "timestamp_us": 1712000000000,
+  "node_id": "esp32-node-1",
+  "subcarriers": 56,
+  "amplitude": [0.45, 0.52, ...],
+  "phase": [-1.23, 0.87, ...]
+}
+
+// Server -> Client: Pose update
+{
+  "type": "pose",
+  "timestamp_us": 1712000000000,
+  "persons": [
+    {
+      "id": 0,
+      "keypoints": [
+        {"name": "nose", "x": 2.3, "y": 1.5, "z": 1.7, "confidence": 0.92},
+        ...
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+
+// Server -> Client: Vitals update
+{
+  "type": "vitals",
+  "timestamp_us": 1712000000000,
+  "person_id": 0,
+  "heart_rate_bpm": 72.5,
+  "breathing_rate_rpm": 16.2,
+  "presence_score": 0.98
+}
+
+// Server -> Client: Occupancy grid
+{
+  "type": "occupancy",
+  "timestamp_us": 1712000000000,
+  "nx": 8, "ny": 8, "nz": 4,
+  "bounds": [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 6.0, 6.0, 3.0],
+  "densities": [0.0, 0.0, 0.12, ...]
+}
+
+// Client -> Server: Configuration
+{
+  "type": "config",
+  "action": "set",
+  "key": "tomography.lambda",
+  "value": 0.15
+}
+```
+
+### 5.5 Specific UI Components to Build
+
+Based on Arena Physica's approach and our sensing needs:
+
+**Priority 1 (Core Dashboard):**
+1. **Real-time CSI waterfall** -- Subcarrier amplitude over time, color-mapped (similar to spectrogram)
+2. **Pose skeleton view** -- 2D/3D rendering of detected keypoints with skeleton connections
+3. **Node topology map** -- Show ESP32 mesh with RSSI-colored edges
+4. **Vitals panel** -- Heart rate and breathing rate with time-series charts
+
+**Priority 2 (Advanced Visualization):**
+5. **Occupancy heatmap** -- 2D top-down view of tomographic voxel grid
+6. **Phase coherence indicator** -- Per-link coherence scores (green/yellow/red)
+7. **Fresnel zone overlay** -- Show first Fresnel zone on room floor plan per link
+
+**Priority 3 (Configuration/Debug):**
+8. **Calibration wizard** -- Guide through empty-room calibration for field_model
+9. **Link quality matrix** -- NxN grid showing per-link signal metrics
+10. **Raw CSI inspector** -- Select individual link, view amplitude + phase per subcarrier
+
+
+## 6. Public API Endpoints and Protocols
+
+### 6.1 Confirmed Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Protocol | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `https://studio.arenaphysica.com` | HTTPS | Main web application (Next.js SSR) |
+| `https://api.emfm.atlas.arena-ai.com` | HTTPS | Backend API (Auth0 audience) |
+| `https://52.61.97.121` | HTTPS/WSS | Unreal Engine rendering server |
+
+### 6.2 Authentication
+
+- Auth0-based with organization scoping
+- Custom audience: `https://api.emfm.atlas.arena-ai.com`
+- Organization: `emfmprod`
+- Terms of Service required before access
+
+### 6.3 Feature Flags
+
+DevCycle SDK integrated for A/B testing and feature gating. This suggests gradual rollout of new capabilities.
+
+### 6.4 Monitoring
+
+Datadog RUM (Real User Monitoring) for performance tracking. Session replay (Hotjar) is available but disabled in production.
+
+### 6.5 What is NOT Publicly Documented
+
+- REST API endpoints (no public API docs found)
+- WebSocket message schemas
+- S-parameter data format
+- Geometry encoding format
+- Rate limits or usage quotas
+- Pricing model
+
+Arena Physica appears to operate as a closed platform without public API access. The Studio beta is a controlled preview, not an open API.
+
+
+## 7. Summary of Findings
+
+### What Arena Physica Is
+A $30M-funded startup building neural surrogates for electromagnetic simulation. Their AI predicts S-parameters and field distributions 18,000-800,000x faster than traditional solvers. They serve Fortune 500 hardware companies (AMD, Anduril) for RF component design.
+
+### What Arena Physica Is NOT
+They are not a WiFi sensing company. They do not do human pose estimation, CSI analysis, or IoT sensing. The relevance to our project is purely methodological.
+
+### Key Technical Takeaways for wifi-densepose
+
+1. **Neural surrogates for Maxwell's equations work** -- Arena proves that training on millions of simulation examples produces models accurate to < 1 dB MAE running in milliseconds. We could apply the same approach to CSI prediction.
+
+2. **Inverse design via conditional diffusion** -- Marconi-0's approach (generating geometry from target specs) parallels our inverse problem (generating pose from CSI). Conditional diffusion is a viable architecture.
+
+3. **Bidirectional search** -- The generate-evaluate-refine loop is more effective than direct inversion. For real-time sensing, the evaluator (forward model) must be fast.
+
+4. **Domain-specific models beat general LLMs** -- For electromagnetic tasks, specialized architectures substantially outperform GPT-4 / Claude. This validates our approach of building specialized CSI processing rather than relying on general-purpose models.
+
+5. **Studio UI is Next.js + Mantine + Unreal Engine** -- A modern stack, but the Unreal Engine component is overkill for our visualization needs. Three.js/WebGL on the client is more appropriate for our real-time sensing dashboard.
+
+6. **WebSocket push over polling** -- Confirmed by their `POLL_FOR_MESSAGES: false` configuration. Our sensing-server should use WebSocket push for real-time data streaming.

+## 1. Paper Identity
+
+- **Title:** PhysicsArena: The First Multimodal Physics Reasoning Benchmark Exploring Variable, Process, and Solution Dimensions
+- **Authors:** Song Dai, Yibo Yan, Jiamin Su, Dongfang Zihao, Yubo Gao, Yonghua Hei, Jungang Li, Junyan Zhang, Sicheng Tao, Zhuoran Gao, Xuming Hu
+- **Submitted:** 2025-05-21, revised 2025-05-22
+- **Category:** cs.CL (Computation and Language)
+- **arXiv ID:** 2505.15472v2
+
+## 2. Core Contribution
+
+PhysicsArena introduces a multimodal benchmark for evaluating how Large Language Models (MLLMs) reason about physics problems. The benchmark assesses three dimensions:
+
+1. **Variable Identification** -- Can the model correctly identify physical variables from multimodal inputs (diagrams, text, equations)?
+2. **Physical Process Formulation** -- Can the model select and chain the correct physical laws and processes?
+3. **Solution Derivation** -- Can the model produce correct numerical/symbolic solutions?
+
+This is the first benchmark to decompose physics reasoning into these three granular dimensions rather than only evaluating final answers.
+
+## 3. Technical Approach
+
+### 3.1 Benchmark Structure
+
+The benchmark presents physics problems with multimodal inputs (text descriptions accompanied by diagrams, graphs, and physical setups). Problems span classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, optics, and modern physics.
+
+### 3.2 Evaluation Protocol
+
+Unlike prior benchmarks that score only final answers, PhysicsArena evaluates intermediate reasoning:
+
+- **Variable extraction accuracy:** Does the model identify all relevant physical quantities (mass, velocity, charge, field strength, etc.)?
+- **Process correctness:** Does the model apply the right sequence of physical laws (Newton's laws, Maxwell's equations, conservation laws)?
+- **Solution accuracy:** Does the final numerical answer match the ground truth within tolerance?
+
+### 3.3 Key Finding
+
+Current MLLMs (GPT-4V, Claude, Gemini) perform significantly worse on variable identification and process formulation than on final solution derivation when provided with correct intermediate steps. This reveals that models often arrive at correct answers through pattern matching rather than genuine physics reasoning.
+
+## 4. Relevance to WiFi-DensePose
+
+### 4.1 Direct Relevance: Low
+
+This paper is not about WiFi sensing, CSI processing, pose estimation, or edge deployment. It benchmarks LLM reasoning about physics problems.
+
+### 4.2 Indirect Relevance: Moderate
+
+Several concepts transfer to our domain:
+
+#### 4.2.1 Physics-Informed Reasoning for Signal Processing
+
+The paper's decomposition of physics reasoning into (variables, process, solution) maps onto WiFi sensing:
+
+| PhysicsArena Dimension | WiFi-DensePose Analog |
+|------------------------|----------------------|
+| Variable identification | CSI feature extraction (amplitude, phase, subcarrier indices, antenna config) |
+| Process formulation | Signal processing pipeline selection (phase alignment, coherence gating, multiband fusion) |
+| Solution derivation | Pose/activity estimation output |
+
+This suggests a potential architecture where intermediate representations are explicitly supervised -- not just end-to-end loss on final pose, but also losses on intermediate physical quantities (estimated path lengths, Doppler shifts, angle-of-arrival).
+
+#### 4.2.2 Multimodal Grounding
+
+PhysicsArena's core challenge is grounding abstract reasoning in physical reality from multimodal inputs. WiFi-DensePose faces the same challenge: grounding neural network predictions in the actual physics of electromagnetic wave propagation through space containing human bodies.
+
+#### 4.2.3 Decomposed Evaluation
+
+The three-dimension evaluation framework suggests we should evaluate our pipeline at multiple stages:
+
+1. **CSI quality metrics** (SNR, coherence, phase stability) -- analogous to variable identification
+2. **Feature extraction quality** (does the modality translator preserve physically meaningful information?) -- analogous to process formulation
+3. **Pose accuracy** (PCK@50, MPJPE) -- analogous to solution derivation
+
+This would help diagnose whether failures in pose estimation originate from poor CSI capture, lossy feature translation, or incorrect pose regression.
+
+### 4.3 Transferable Insight: Intermediate Supervision
+
+The paper's key insight -- that evaluating only final outputs masks fundamental reasoning failures -- argues for adding intermediate supervision signals to the wifi-densepose training pipeline:
+
+```
+L_total = lambda_pose * L_pose 
+        + lambda_physics * L_physics_consistency
+        + lambda_intermediate * L_intermediate_features
+```
+
+Where `L_physics_consistency` penalizes predictions that violate known electromagnetic propagation physics (e.g., predicted person positions that are inconsistent with observed CSI phase relationships).
+
+## 5. Applicable Techniques for Implementation Plan
+
+### 5.1 Physics-Constrained Loss Functions
+
+Add a physics consistency loss that enforces:
+
+- **Fresnel zone consistency:** Predicted body positions must be consistent with the Fresnel zones that would produce the observed CSI perturbations
+- **Multipath geometry:** The number of strong multipath components should be consistent with the predicted scene geometry
+- **Doppler-velocity consistency:** If temporal CSI changes indicate Doppler shift, the predicted keypoint velocities must match
+
+### 5.2 Hierarchical Evaluation Pipeline
+
+Implement three-stage evaluation matching PhysicsArena's decomposition:
+
+```rust
+pub struct HierarchicalEvaluation {
+    /// Stage 1: CSI quality assessment
+    pub csi_quality: CsiQualityMetrics,
+    /// Stage 2: Feature translation fidelity
+    pub translation_fidelity: TranslationMetrics, 
+    /// Stage 3: Pose estimation accuracy
+    pub pose_accuracy: PoseMetrics,
+}
+```
+
+### 5.3 Structured Intermediate Representations
+
+Rather than a single encoder-decoder, structure the network to produce interpretable intermediate outputs:
+
+```
+CSI input -> [Physics Encoder] -> physical_features (AoA, ToF, Doppler)
+          -> [Geometry Decoder] -> spatial_occupancy_map
+          -> [Pose Regressor]   -> keypoint_coordinates
+```
+
+Each intermediate output can be supervised independently where ground truth is available.
+
+## 6. Conclusion
+
+While arXiv 2505.15472 is not directly about WiFi sensing, its framework for decomposing physics reasoning into interpretable stages provides a valuable architectural pattern. The key takeaway for wifi-densepose is: **do not rely solely on end-to-end training; add intermediate physics-grounded supervision signals to improve robustness and interpretability.**
+
+This aligns with the existing RuvSense architecture which already has explicit stages (multiband fusion, phase alignment, coherence scoring, coherence gating, pose tracking) -- the paper's framework validates this design choice and argues for adding supervision at each stage boundary.
+
+## 7. Cross-References
+
+- **Arena Physica (arena-physica-analysis.md):** Their thesis that "fields are the fundamental quantities" reinforces the physics-first approach recommended here. Training on electromagnetic field distributions rather than end-to-end CSI-to-pose would constitute the WiFi sensing analog of PhysicsArena's decomposed evaluation.
+- **WiFlow (sota-wifi-sensing-2025.md, Section 1.1):** WiFlow's bone constraint loss is a concrete implementation of physics-informed intermediate supervision -- the skeleton must obey anatomical constraints at every prediction step.
+- **MultiFormer (sota-wifi-sensing-2025.md, Section 1.2):** MultiFormer's dual-token (time + frequency) tokenization is analogous to PhysicsArena's variable identification -- it explicitly separates the physical dimensions of the CSI measurement before reasoning about them.
+- **Implementation plan (implementation-plan.md):** The hierarchical evaluation pipeline in Section 5.2 directly implements the three-stage evaluation framework recommended here.

+# Maxwell's Equations in WiFi/RF Sensing
+
+Research document for wifi-densepose project.
+Date: 2026-04-02
+
+---
+
+## 1. Maxwell's Equations and CSI Extraction
+
+### 1.1 Foundational Electromagnetic Theory
+
+All WiFi-based sensing ultimately derives from Maxwell's four partial differential equations governing electromagnetic field behavior:
+
+```
+(1) Gauss's Law (Electric):       nabla . E = rho / epsilon_0
+(2) Gauss's Law (Magnetic):       nabla . B = 0
+(3) Faraday's Law:                nabla x E = -dB/dt
+(4) Ampere-Maxwell Law:           nabla x B = mu_0 * J + mu_0 * epsilon_0 * dE/dt
+```
+
+In free space with no charges or currents (the indoor propagation case), these simplify to the wave equation:
+
+```
+nabla^2 E - mu_0 * epsilon_0 * d^2 E / dt^2 = 0
+```
+
+yielding plane wave solutions `E(r, t) = E_0 * exp(j(k . r - omega * t))` where `k = 2*pi / lambda` is the wavenumber. At 2.4 GHz WiFi, `lambda ~ 12.5 cm`; at 5 GHz, `lambda ~ 6 cm`.
+
+### 1.2 From Maxwell to Channel State Information
+
+Channel State Information (CSI) is the frequency-domain representation of the wireless channel's impulse response. The derivation from Maxwell's equations proceeds through several simplification layers:
+
+**Layer 1: Full Maxwell's equations** -- Exact but computationally intractable for room-scale environments at GHz frequencies.
+
+**Layer 2: High-frequency ray optics (Geometrical Optics / Uniform Theory of Diffraction)** -- When object dimensions >> lambda (walls, furniture), Maxwell's equations reduce to ray tracing. Each ray follows Snell's law at interfaces, with Fresnel reflection/transmission coefficients computed from the dielectric contrast.
+
+**Layer 3: Multipath channel model** -- The channel impulse response aggregates all propagation paths:
+
+```
+h(t) = sum_{n=1}^{N} alpha_n * exp(-j * phi_n) * delta(t - tau_n)
+```
+
+where for each path n:
+- `alpha_n` = complex attenuation (from free-space path loss, reflection, diffraction)
+- `phi_n = 2*pi*f*tau_n` = phase shift
+- `tau_n = d_n / c` = propagation delay (distance / speed of light)
+
+**Layer 4: Channel Frequency Response (CFR) = CSI** -- The Fourier transform of h(t):
+
+```
+H(f_k) = sum_{n=1}^{N} alpha_n * exp(-j * 2*pi * f_k * tau_n)
+```
+
+Each OFDM subcarrier k at frequency f_k provides one complex CSI measurement:
+
+```
+H(f_k) = |H(f_k)| * exp(j * angle(H(f_k)))
+```
+
+With 802.11n/ac providing 56-256 subcarriers and 802.11ax up to 512 subcarriers across 160 MHz bandwidth, CSI captures a frequency-sampled version of the channel's multipath structure.
+
+**Key insight for sensing**: When a human moves in the environment, paths reflecting off the body change their `alpha_n`, `tau_n`, and `phi_n`, modulating the CSI. The sensing problem is to invert this relationship -- recover body state from CSI changes.
+
+### 1.3 The Two CSI Models
+
+The Tsinghua WiFi Sensing Tutorial (tns.thss.tsinghua.edu.cn) identifies two mainstream models:
+
+**Ray-Tracing Model**: Establishes explicit geometric relationships between signal paths and CSI. The received signal is:
+
+```
+V = sum_{n=1}^{N} |V_n| * exp(-j * phi_n)
+```
+
+This model enables extraction of geometric parameters (distances, reflection points, angles of arrival) from CSI data. It underpins localization and tracking applications.
+
+**Scattering Model**: Decomposes CSI into static and dynamic contributions:
+
+```
+H(f,t) = sum_{o in Omega_s} H_o(f,t) + sum_{p in Omega_d} H_p(f,t)
+```
+
+Dynamic scatterers (moving bodies) contribute through angular integration:
+
+```
+H_p(f,t) = integral_0^{2pi} integral_0^{pi} h_p(alpha, beta, f, t) * exp(-j*k*v_p*cos(alpha)*t) d_alpha d_beta
+```
+
+The scattering model yields the CSI autocorrelation:
+
+```
+rho_H(f, tau) ~ sinc(k * v * tau)
+```
+
+enabling speed extraction from autocorrelation peak analysis:
+
+```
+v = x_0 * lambda / (2 * pi * tau_0)
+```
+
+where `x_0` is the first sinc extremum location and `tau_0` is the corresponding time lag.
+
+### 1.4 Practical Simplifications Used in WiFi Sensing
+
+| Approximation | Physical Basis | Used When | Accuracy |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Ray tracing (GO/UTD) | High-frequency limit of Maxwell | Objects >> lambda | Good for LOS + major reflections |
+| Fresnel zone model | Wave diffraction | Target near TX-RX line | Excellent for presence/respiration |
+| Born approximation | Weak scattering (small perturbation) | Low-contrast objects | Breaks down for human body |
+| Rytov approximation | Phase perturbation expansion | Moderate scattering | Better for lossy media |
+| Free-space path loss | 1/r^2 power decay | Coarse attenuation models | Adequate for RSSI-based sensing |
+
+**Relevance to wifi-densepose**: Our `field_model.rs` implements the eigenstructure approach (Layer 2.5 -- between full ray tracing and statistical models), decomposing the channel covariance via SVD to separate environmental modes from body perturbation. Our `tomography.rs` implements the voxel-based inverse at Layer 3 using L1-regularized least squares.

+
+## 2. Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) for RF Sensing
+
+### 2.1 PINN Architecture for Wireless Channels
+
+Physics-Informed Neural Networks embed physical laws as constraints in the loss function or network architecture. For RF sensing, PINNs encode electromagnetic propagation principles:
+
+**Standard PINN loss for RF propagation:**
+
+```
+L_total = L_data + lambda_physics * L_physics + lambda_boundary * L_boundary
+
+where:
+  L_data = (1/N) * sum |H_pred(f_k) - H_meas(f_k)|^2     (CSI measurement fit)
+  L_physics = (1/M) * sum |nabla^2 E + k^2 * E|^2          (Helmholtz equation residual)
+  L_boundary = (1/B) * sum |E_pred - E_bc|^2                (boundary conditions)
+```
+
+The Helmholtz equation `nabla^2 E + k^2 * n^2(r) * E = 0` (time-harmonic Maxwell) constrains the solution space, where `n(r)` is the spatially varying refractive index.

+
+### 2.3 PINN Architecture for CSI-Based Sensing
+
+```
+Algorithm: Physics-Informed CSI Sensing Network
+
+Input: CSI tensor H[time, subcarrier, antenna] of shape (T, K, M)
+Output: Body state estimate (pose, position, or occupancy)
+
+1. PREPROCESSING (physics-guided):
+   a. Remove carrier frequency offset (CFO): H_clean = H * exp(-j*2*pi*delta_f*t)
+   b. Conjugate multiply across antenna pairs to cancel common phase noise
+   c. Compute CSI-ratio: H_ratio(f,t) = H_dynamic(f,t) / H_static(f,t)
+
+2. PHYSICS ENCODER:
+   a. Embed Fresnel zone geometry as positional encoding

+   b. Forward-simulate expected CSI from x_hat using ray-tracing differentiable renderer
+   c. Compute physics loss: L_phys = ||H_simulated(x_hat) - H_measured||^2
+
+4. TRAINING LOSS:
+   L = L_pose_supervision + alpha * L_phys + beta * L_temporal_smoothness
+```
+
+### 2.4 Relevance to wifi-densepose
+
+Our RuvSense pipeline already implements physics-guided preprocessing (phase alignment, coherence gating, Fresnel zone awareness). The next step would be to:
+
+1. Add a differentiable ray-tracing forward model as a physics constraint during NN training
+2. Use the field model eigenstructure (from `field_model.rs`) as an informed prior
+3. Embed Fresnel zone geometry from link topology as architectural bias
+
+
+## 3. Inverse Electromagnetic Scattering for Body Reconstruction
+
+### 3.1 The Inverse Problem
+
+The forward problem: given a known body position/shape and room geometry, predict the CSI.
+
+```
+Forward:  body_state -> Maxwell/ray-tracing -> H(f,t)     [well-posed]
+Inverse:  H(f,t) -> ??? -> body_state                     [ill-posed]
+```
+
+WiFi sensing is fundamentally an inverse scattering problem. A WiFi antenna receives signal as 1D amplitude/phase -- the spatial information of the 3D scene is collapsed to a single CSI complex number per subcarrier per antenna pair. Reconstructing fine-grained spatial information from this compressed observation is severely ill-posed.
+
+### 3.2 Linearized Inverse Scattering: Born and Rytov Approximations
+
+**Helmholtz equation with scatterer:**
+
+```
+nabla^2 E(r) + k^2 * (1 + O(r)) * E(r) = 0
+```
+
+where `O(r) = epsilon_r(r) - 1` is the object function (dielectric contrast of the body relative to free space).
+
+**Born approximation** (first-order): Assumes the field inside the scatterer equals the incident field:
+
+```
+E_scattered(r) ~ k^2 * integral O(r') * E_incident(r') * G(r, r') dr'
+```
+
+where `G(r, r')` is the free-space Green's function. This is valid when `O(r)` is small and the object is electrically small. For the human body at 2.4 GHz (`epsilon_r ~ 40-60` for muscle tissue), the Born approximation is grossly violated.
+
+**Rytov approximation**: Expands the complex phase rather than the field:
+
+```
+E_total(r) = E_incident(r) * exp(psi(r))
+
+psi(r) ~ (k^2 / E_incident(r)) * integral O(r') * E_incident(r') * G(r, r') dr'
+```
+
+The Rytov approximation handles larger phase accumulation than Born but still assumes weak scattering. It works better for lossy media where absorption limits multiple scattering.
+
+**Extended Phaseless Rytov Approximation (xPRA-LM)** (Dubey et al., arXiv 2110.03211):
+- First linear phaseless inverse scattering approximation with large validity range
+- Demonstrated with 2.4 GHz WiFi nodes for indoor imaging
+- Handles objects with `epsilon_r` up to 15+j1.5 (20x wavelength size)
+- At `epsilon_r = 77+j7` (water/tissue), shape reconstruction still accurate
+
+### 3.3 Iterative Nonlinear Methods
+
+For high-contrast scatterers like the human body, iterative methods are required:
+
+**Distorted Born Iterative Method (DBIM):**
+
+```
+Algorithm: DBIM for WiFi Body Imaging
+
+Input: Measured scattered field E_s at receiver locations
+Output: Object function O(r) (dielectric map of scene)
+
+1. Initialize: O_0(r) = 0 (empty room)
+2. For iteration i = 0, 1, 2, ...:
+   a. Solve forward problem: compute total field E_i(r) in medium with O_i(r)
+   b. Compute Green's function G_i(r, r') for medium O_i(r)
+   c. Linearize: delta_E_s = K_i * delta_O   (Frechet derivative)
+   d. Solve: delta_O = K_i^+ * (E_s_measured - E_s_computed(O_i))
+   e. Update: O_{i+1} = O_i + delta_O
+   f. Check convergence: ||E_s_measured - E_s_computed(O_{i+1})|| < epsilon
+```
+
+**Challenges for WiFi sensing:**
+- WiFi provides sparse spatial sampling (few antenna pairs vs. full aperture)
+- Phase is often unavailable (RSSI-only) or corrupted by hardware imperfections
+- Real-time requirement conflicts with iterative forward solves
+- Human body is a strong, moving scatterer
+
+### 3.4 Radio Tomographic Imaging (RTI)
+
+RTI (Wilson & Patwari, 2010) simplifies the inverse scattering problem by:
+1. Using only RSS (received signal strength) -- phaseless
+2. Assuming a voxelized scene with additive attenuation model
+3. Linearizing: measured attenuation = sum of voxel attenuations along path
+
+**Forward model:**
+
+```
+y = W * x + n
+
+where:
+  y = [y_1, ..., y_L]^T   attenuation measurements (L links)
+  x = [x_1, ..., x_V]^T   voxel occupancy values (V voxels)
+  W = [w_{l,v}]             weight matrix (link-voxel intersection)
+  n = measurement noise
+```
+
+**Weight model (elliptical):**
+
+```
+w_{l,v} = { 1 / sqrt(d_l)   if d_{l,v}^tx + d_{l,v}^rx < d_l + lambda_w
+           { 0               otherwise
+
+where:
+  d_l = distance between TX_l and RX_l
+  d_{l,v}^tx = distance from TX_l to voxel v center
+  d_{l,v}^rx = distance from RX_l to voxel v center
+  lambda_w = excess path length parameter (typically ~lambda/4)
+```
+
+**Inverse solution (Tikhonov-regularized):**
+
+```
+x_hat = (W^T W + alpha * C^{-1})^{-1} * W^T * y
+```
+
+where `C` is the spatial covariance matrix and `alpha` controls regularization.
+
+**Our implementation** (`tomography.rs`) uses ISTA (Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm) with L1 regularization for sparsity:
+
+```
+Algorithm: ISTA for RF Tomography (as in tomography.rs)
+
+Input: Weight matrix W, observations y, lambda (L1 weight)
+Output: Sparse voxel densities x
+
+1. Initialize x = 0
+2. step_size = 1 / ||W^T * W||_spectral
+3. For iter = 1 to max_iterations:
+   a. gradient = W^T * (W * x - y)
+   b. x_candidate = x - step_size * gradient
+   c. x = soft_threshold(x_candidate, lambda * step_size)
+      where soft_threshold(z, t) = sign(z) * max(|z| - t, 0)
+   d. residual = ||W * x - y||
+   e. if residual < tolerance: break
+```
+
+### 3.5 Reconciling RTI with Inverse Scattering
+
+Dubey, Li & Murch (arXiv 2311.09633) reconciled empirical RTI with formal inverse scattering theory:
+- RTI's additive attenuation model corresponds to a first-order Born approximation of the scattered field amplitude
+- Their enhanced method reconstructs both shape AND material properties
+- Validated at 2.4 GHz with WiFi transceivers indoors
+
+### 3.6 State-of-the-Art: Deep Learning Approaches
+
+**DensePose From WiFi** (Geng, Huang, De la Torre, arXiv 2301.00250, CMU):
+- Maps WiFi CSI amplitude+phase to UV coordinates across 24 body regions
+- Uses 3 TX + 3 RX antennas, 56 subcarriers per link
+- Teacher-student training: camera-based DensePose provides labels
+- Performance comparable to image-based approaches
+- Works through walls and in darkness
+
+**RF-Pose** (Zhao et al., CVPR 2018, MIT CSAIL):
+- Through-wall human pose estimation using radio signals
+- Cross-modal supervision: vision model trains RF model
+- Generalizes to through-wall scenarios with no through-wall training data
+
+**Person-in-WiFi** (Wang et al., ICCV 2019, CMU):
+- End-to-end body segmentation and pose from WiFi
+- Standard 802.11n signals, off-the-shelf hardware
+
+**3D WiFi Pose Estimation** (arXiv 2204.07878):
+- Free-form and moving activities
+- 3D joint position estimation from CSI
+
+**HoloCSI** (2025-2026):
+- Holographic tomography pipeline coupling physics-guided projection with adaptive top-k sparse transformer
+- Preprocesses: CFO rectification, Doppler compensation, antenna-pair normalization
+- Sparse multi-head attention prunes low-magnitude query-key pairs (quadratic -> near-linear complexity)
+- Results: +2.9 dB PSNR, +3.6% SSIM, +12.4% mesh IoU vs baselines
+- 25 fps on RTX-4070-mobile at 5% sparsity; 7 fps on Raspberry Pi 5 with attention-GRU variant
+
+
+## 4. Computational Electromagnetics for WiFi Sensing
+
+### 4.1 FDTD (Finite-Difference Time-Domain)
+
+FDTD discretizes Maxwell's curl equations on a Yee grid and marches forward in time:
+
+```
+Algorithm: FDTD Update (2D TM mode, simplified)
+
+Grid: dx = dy = lambda/20 (minimum 10 cells per wavelength)
+Time step: dt = dx / (c * sqrt(2))  [Courant condition]
+
+For each time step n:
+  1. Update H fields:
+     H_z^{n+1/2}(i,j) = H_z^{n-1/2}(i,j) + (dt/mu_0) * [
+       (E_x^n(i,j+1) - E_x^n(i,j)) / dy -
+       (E_y^n(i+1,j) - E_y^n(i,j)) / dx
+     ]
+
+  2. Update E fields:
+     E_x^{n+1}(i,j) = E_x^n(i,j) + (dt / epsilon(i,j)) * [
+       (H_z^{n+1/2}(i,j) - H_z^{n+1/2}(i,j-1)) / dy
+     ]
+```
+
+**For WiFi at 2.4 GHz:**
+- Wavelength: 12.5 cm
+- Grid cell: ~6 mm (20 cells/lambda)
+- Room 6m x 6m x 3m: 1000 x 1000 x 500 = 500M cells
+- Memory: ~24 GB (6 field components * 4 bytes * 500M)
+- Time steps: ~10,000 for steady state
+
+**Key references for WiFi FDTD:**
+- Lauer & Ertel (2003), "Using Large-Scale FDTD for Indoor WLAN" -- Full FDTD at 2.45 GHz in office environments
+- Lui et al. (2018), "Human Body Shadowing" -- FDTD human body model for ray-tracing calibration (Hindawi IJAP 9084830)
+- Martinez-Gonzalez et al. (2008), "FDTD Assessment Human Exposure WiFi/Bluetooth" -- SAR computation with anatomical body models
+
+**Practical limitations**: FDTD is too slow for real-time sensing but valuable for:
+- Generating training data for neural networks
+- Validating approximate models
+- Understanding near-field body-wave interaction
+
+### 4.2 Method of Moments (MoM)
+
+MoM converts Maxwell's integral equations into matrix equations by expanding fields in basis functions:
+
+```
+[Z] * [I] = [V]
+
+where:
+  Z_{mn} = integral integral G(r_m, r_n) * f_m(r) * f_n(r') dS dS'
+  I_n = unknown current coefficients
+  V_m = incident field excitation
+```
+
+**Application**: MoM excels for antenna analysis and is used to model WiFi antenna patterns. Less practical for full room simulation due to O(N^2) memory and O(N^3) solve time.
+
+### 4.3 FEM (Finite Element Method)
+
+FEM handles complex geometries and material interfaces more naturally than FDTD:
+
+```
+Weak form of Helmholtz equation:
+integral nabla x E_test . (1/mu_r * nabla x E) dV - k_0^2 * integral E_test . epsilon_r * E dV
+= -j * omega * integral E_test . J_s dV
+```
+
+**Application**: HFSS (Ansys) and COMSOL use FEM for electromagnetic simulation. Arena Physica's Heaviside-0 model was trained against such commercial FEM solvers.
+
+### 4.4 Comparison for WiFi Sensing Applications
+
+| Method | Speed | Accuracy | Body Modeling | Room Scale | Real-Time |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| FDTD | Hours | Full-wave exact | Excellent | Feasible (GPU) | No |
+| MoM | Hours | Exact for surfaces | Good (surface) | Impractical | No |
+| FEM | Hours | Exact | Excellent | Feasible | No |
+| Ray tracing | Seconds | GO/UTD approximation | Coarse | Easy | Near real-time |
+| RTI (ISTA) | Milliseconds | Linear approximation | Voxelized | Easy | Yes |
+| Neural surrogate | Milliseconds | Trained accuracy | Implicit | Trained domain | Yes |
+
+### 4.5 Hybrid Approaches: Neural Surrogates Trained on CEM
+
+The most promising direction combines full-wave accuracy with real-time speed:
+
+1. **Offline**: Run thousands of FDTD/FEM simulations with different body positions
+2. **Train**: Neural network learns the mapping from body state to CSI
+3. **Deploy**: Neural surrogate runs in milliseconds for real-time inference
+
+This is exactly Arena Physica's approach (Section 5), applied to RF component design rather than sensing. The same methodology applies to WiFi sensing: train a neural forward model on FDTD data, then use it as a differentiable physics constraint during inverse model training.
+
+
+## 5. Arena Physica's Approach
+
+### 5.1 Company Overview
+
+Arena Physica (arena-ai.com / arenaphysica.com) pursues "Electromagnetic Superintelligence" -- building foundation models that develop superhuman intuition for how geometry shapes electromagnetic fields. Founded by Pratap Ranade (CEO), Arya Hezarkhani, Claire Pan, Michael Frei, and Harish Krishnaswamy. Offices in NYC (HQ), SF, LA.
+
+Raised $30M Series B (April 2025). Deployed with AMD, Anduril Industries, Sivers Semiconductors, Bausch & Lomb. Claims 35% reduction in engineering man-hours and multi-month acceleration in time-to-market.
+
+### 5.2 Technical Architecture
+
+Arena's Atlas platform uses two foundation models:
+
+**Heaviside-0 (Forward Model)**:
+- Input: PCB/RF geometry (discretized as grid)
+- Output: S-parameters (magnitude + phase) and field distributions
+- Speed: 13ms per design (single), 0.3ms batched
+- Comparison: Traditional solver (HFSS/FDTD) takes ~4 minutes
+- Speedup: 18,000x to 800,000x
+
+**Marconi-0 (Inverse Model)**:
+- Input: Target S-parameter specification
+- Output: Physical geometry that achieves the specification
+- Method: Conditional diffusion process (similar to image generation)
+- Generates unconventional geometries no human designer would conceive
+
+**Training data**: 3 million simulated designs across 25 expert templates + random structures, totaling 20+ years of combined simulation time. Incorporates both S-parameter data and electromagnetic field distributions.
+
+**Validation**: Predictions validated against commercial numerical field solvers (likely HFSS). Internal testing shows < 1 dB magnitude-weighted MAE (RF engineers operate in 20-30 dB ranges).
+
+### 5.3 Relationship to Maxwell's Equations
+
+Arena does NOT solve Maxwell's equations directly. Instead:
+
+1. **Training phase**: Maxwell's equations are solved by conventional solvers (FDTD/FEM/MoM) millions of times to generate training data
+2. **Inference phase**: Neural surrogate approximates Maxwell's solutions in milliseconds
+3. **Design loop**: Generator proposes geometry -> Evaluator predicts EM behavior -> Iterate
+
+As Pratap Ranade states: the model "learns the syntax of physics" inductively from examples, rather than deductively from equations. This trades precision for speed -- acceptable when searching design space where "speed and direction matter more than precision."
+
+### 5.4 The "Large Field Model" (LFM) Concept
+
+Arena's LFM is distinct from Large Language Models:
+- LLMs learn linguistic patterns from text
+- LFMs learn electromagnetic field patterns from simulation data
+- The input is geometry (not text); the output is field distributions (not tokens)
+- Domain-specific architecture substantially outperforms general LLMs on EM tasks
+
+### 5.5 Relevance to WiFi Sensing
+
+Arena Physica focuses on RF component design (antennas, PCBs, filters), not WiFi sensing. However, their approach is directly transferable:
+
+| Arena Physica (Design) | WiFi Sensing (Our Case) |
+|---|---|
+| Forward: geometry -> S-parameters | Forward: body pose -> CSI |
+| Inverse: S-parameters -> geometry | Inverse: CSI -> body pose |
+| Train on FDTD/FEM simulations | Train on ray-tracing / FDTD simulations |
+| 13ms inference | Real-time CSI inference |
+| Conditional diffusion for generation | Conditional generation for pose prediction |
+
+**Key lesson for wifi-densepose**: Building a neural forward model (body_pose -> expected_CSI) trained on electromagnetic simulation data, then using it as a differentiable physics constraint during inverse model training, could significantly improve our pose estimation accuracy and generalization. This is the "physics-informed" approach with the computational burden shifted to offline training.
+
+
+## 6. Connections to wifi-densepose Codebase
+
+### 6.1 Existing Physics-Based Modules
+
+| Module | Physical Model | Maxwell Connection |
+|---|---|---|
+| `field_model.rs` | SVD eigenstructure decomposition | Eigenmode basis of room's EM field |
+| `tomography.rs` | L1-regularized RTI (ISTA solver) | Linearized inverse scattering |
+| `multistatic.rs` | Attention-weighted cross-node fusion | Exploits geometric diversity of multiple TX/RX |
+| `phase_align.rs` | LO phase offset estimation | Corrects hardware-induced phase corruption |
+| `coherence.rs` | Z-score coherence scoring | Statistical test on EM field stability |
+| `coherence_gate.rs` | Accept/Reject decisions | Quality control on EM measurements |
+| `adversarial.rs` | Physical impossibility detection | Enforces EM consistency constraints |
+
+### 6.2 Potential Enhancements Based on This Research
+
+1. **Differentiable ray-tracing forward model**: Train a neural surrogate on ray-tracing simulations of CSI for various body poses in the deployment room. Use as physics constraint in pose estimation.
+
+2. **Fresnel zone integration**: Augment the attention mechanism in `multistatic.rs` with Fresnel zone geometry -- links where the body falls within the first Fresnel zone should receive higher attention weight.
+
+3. **xPRA-LM inverse scattering**: For higher-resolution body imaging than RTI, implement the Extended Phaseless Rytov Approximation. Our tomography module currently uses the simpler additive attenuation model.
+
+4. **HoloCSI-style sparse transformer**: Replace the dense attention in cross-viewpoint fusion with top-k sparse attention for efficiency on ESP32-constrained deployments.
+
+5. **Physics-informed training loss**: When training the DensePose model, add a loss term penalizing physically impossible CSI patterns (e.g., signals that would require faster-than-light propagation or negative attenuation).

+# State-of-the-Art Neural Decoding Landscape (2023–2026)
+
+## SOTA Research Document — RF Topological Sensing Series (21/22)
+
+**Date**: 2026-03-09
+**Domain**: Neural Decoding × Generative AI × Brain-Computer Interfaces × Quantum Sensing
+**Status**: Research Survey / Strategic Positioning
+
+---
+
+## 1. Introduction
+
+The field of neural decoding has undergone a phase transition between 2023 and 2026. Three
+technologies stacked together — sensors, decoders, and visualization/reconstruction systems —
+have collectively moved "brain reading" from science fiction to engineering challenge. Yet the
+popular narrative obscures a critical distinction: current systems decode *perceived* and
+*intended* content from neural activity, not arbitrary private thoughts.
+
+This document maps the current state of the art across all three layers, positions the
+RuVector + dynamic mincut architecture within this landscape, and identifies the unexplored
+territory where topological brain modeling could open an entirely new research direction.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Layer 1: Neural Sensors — The Fidelity Floor
+
+Everything in neural decoding is bounded by sensor fidelity. No algorithm can extract
+information that the sensor never captured.
+
+### 2.1 Invasive Neural Interfaces (Highest Fidelity)
+
+**Technology**: Microelectrode arrays implanted directly in brain tissue.
+
+**Leading Systems**:
+- **Neuralink N1**: 1,024 electrodes on flexible threads, wireless telemetry
+- **Stanford BrainGate**: Utah microelectrode arrays (96 channels) in motor cortex
+- **ECoG grids**: Electrocorticography strips placed on cortical surface
+
+**Capabilities Demonstrated**:
+- Decode speech intentions from motor cortex with ~74% accuracy (Stanford, 2023)
+- Control computer cursors and robotic arms in real time
+- Decode imagined handwriting at 90+ characters per minute
+- Reconstruct inner speech patterns from speech motor cortex
+
+**Signal Characteristics**:
+| Parameter | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Spatial resolution | Single neuron (~10 μm) |
+| Temporal resolution | Sub-millisecond |
+| Channel count | 96–1,024 |
+| Signal-to-noise ratio | 5–20 dB per neuron |
+| Coverage area | ~4×4 mm per array |
+| Bandwidth | DC to 10 kHz |
+
+**Fundamental Limitation**: Requires brain surgery. Coverage area is tiny relative to the
+whole brain (~0.001% of cortical surface per array). Each implant covers one small patch.
+Network-level topology analysis requires coverage of many regions simultaneously — the exact
+opposite of what implants provide.
+
+**Why This Matters for Mincut Architecture**: Implants give depth but not breadth. Dynamic
+mincut analysis of brain network topology requires simultaneous observation of dozens to
+hundreds of brain regions. This fundamentally favors non-invasive, whole-brain sensors.
+
+### 2.2 Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
+
+**Technology**: Measures blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal as proxy for neural
+activity.
+
+**Signal Characteristics**:
+| Parameter | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Spatial resolution | 1–3 mm voxels |
+| Temporal resolution | ~0.5–2 Hz (hemodynamic delay ~5–7 seconds) |
+| Coverage | Whole brain |
+| Cost | $2–5M per scanner |
+| Portability | None (fixed installation, 5+ ton magnet) |
+| Subject constraints | Must lie still in bore |
+
+**Key Neural Decoding Results (2023–2026)**:
+- **Semantic decoding of continuous language** (Tang et al., 2023, University of Texas):
+  Decoded continuous language from fMRI recordings of subjects listening to stories. Used
+  GPT-based language model to map brain activity to word sequences. Achieved meaningful
+  semantic recovery of story content, though not verbatim word-for-word accuracy.
+
+- **Visual reconstruction** (Takagi & Nishimoto, 2023): High-fidelity reconstruction of
+  viewed images from fMRI using latent diffusion models. Structural layout and semantic
+  content recognizable, though fine details are lost.
+
+- **Imagined image reconstruction**: Researchers achieved ~90% identification accuracy for
+  seen images and ~75% for imagined images in constrained paradigms.
+
+**Limitation for Topology Analysis**: The 5–7 second hemodynamic delay means fMRI cannot
+capture fast network topology transitions. Cognitive state changes that occur on millisecond
+timescales are invisible to fMRI. The technology is fundamentally a slow integrator, averaging
+neural activity over seconds.
+
+### 2.3 Electroencephalography (EEG)
+
+**Technology**: Scalp electrodes measuring voltage fluctuations from cortical neural activity.
+
+**Signal Characteristics**:
+| Parameter | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Spatial resolution | ~10–20 mm (severely blurred by skull) |
+| Temporal resolution | 1–1000 Hz |
+| Channel count | 32–256 |
+| Cost | $1K–50K |
+| Portability | High (wearable caps available) |
+| Setup time | 15–45 minutes |
+
+**Neural Decoding Status**:
+- Motor imagery classification: 70–85% accuracy for 2–4 classes
+- P300-based BCI: reliable for character selection at ~5 characters/minute
+- Emotion recognition: 60–75% accuracy (limited by spatial resolution)
+- Cognitive workload detection: 80–90% accuracy in binary classification
+
+**Limitation**: Skull conductivity smears spatial information severely. The volume conduction
+problem means that EEG measures a blurred weighted sum of many cortical sources. Source
+localization is ill-conditioned. Fine-grained network topology analysis is fundamentally
+limited by this spatial ambiguity.
+
+### 2.4 Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
+
+**Technology**: Measures magnetic fields generated by neuronal currents.
+
+**Traditional SQUID-MEG**:
+| Parameter | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Sensitivity | 3–5 fT/√Hz |
+| Spatial resolution | 3–5 mm (source localization) |
+| Temporal resolution | DC to 1000+ Hz |
+| Channel count | 275–306 |
+| Cost | $2–5M + $200K–2M shielded room |
+| Size | Fixed installation, liquid helium cooling |
+| Sensor-to-scalp distance | 20–30 mm (helmet gap) |
+
+**Key Advantage for Topology Analysis**: MEG provides both high temporal resolution
+(millisecond) AND reasonable spatial resolution (millimeter-scale source localization). This
+combination is ideal for tracking dynamic network topology. Magnetic fields pass through the
+skull without distortion, unlike EEG.
+
+**Emerging: OPM-MEG** (see Section 2.5)
+
+### 2.5 Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs)
+
+**Technology**: Alkali vapor cells detect magnetic fields through spin-precession of
+optically pumped atoms. Operates in SERF (spin-exchange relaxation-free) regime for maximum
+sensitivity.
+
+**Signal Characteristics**:
+| Parameter | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Sensitivity | 7–15 fT/√Hz (on-head) |
+| Spatial resolution | ~3–5 mm |
+| Temporal resolution | DC to 200 Hz |
+| Sensor size | ~12×12×19 mm per channel |
+| Cost per sensor | $5K–15K |
+| Cryogenics | None (room temperature) |
+| Wearable | Yes (3D-printed helmets) |
+| Movement tolerance | High (subjects can move) |
+
+**Why OPM is the Most Important Near-Term Sensor for This Architecture**:
+
+1. **Wearable**: subjects can move naturally, enabling ecological paradigms
+2. **Close proximity**: sensor directly on scalp (~6 mm gap vs ~25 mm for SQUID)
+3. **Better SNR**: closer sensors → 2–3× better signal-to-noise ratio
+4. **Scalable**: add channels incrementally
+5. **Cost trajectory**: full system potentially $50K–200K vs $2M+ for SQUID
+6. **Temporal resolution**: millisecond-scale network dynamics visible
+7. **Spatial resolution**: adequate for 68–400 brain parcels
+
+**Leading Groups**:
+- University of Nottingham / Cerca Magnetics: pioneered wearable OPM-MEG
+- FieldLine Inc: HEDscan commercial system
+- QuSpin: Gen-3 QZFM sensor modules
+
+### 2.6 Quantum Sensors (Frontier)
+
+**NV Diamond Magnetometers**:
+- Nitrogen-vacancy defects in diamond detect magnetic fields at femtotesla sensitivity
+- Room temperature operation, no cryogenics
+- Potential for miniaturization to chip scale
+- Current lab sensitivity: ~1–10 fT/√Hz
+- Advantage: can be fabricated as dense 2D arrays for high spatial resolution
+- Status: demonstrated in controlled lab conditions, not yet clinical
+
+**Atomic Interferometers**:
+- Detect phase shifts in atomic wavefunctions
+- Extreme precision for magnetic and gravitational fields
+- Current status: large laboratory instruments
+- Potential: sub-femtotesla magnetic field measurement
+- Limitation: low bandwidth (1–10 Hz cycle rate), large apparatus
+
+### 2.7 Sensor Comparison Matrix
+
+| Sensor | Spatial Res. | Temporal Res. | Invasive | Portable | Cost | Network Topology Suitability |
+|--------|-------------|---------------|----------|----------|------|------------------------------|
+| Implants | 10 μm | <1 ms | Yes | No | $50K+ surgery | Poor (tiny coverage) |
+| fMRI | 1–3 mm | 0.5 Hz | No | No | $2–5M | Moderate (good spatial, poor temporal) |
+| EEG | 10–20 mm | 1 kHz | No | Yes | $1–50K | Poor (spatial smearing) |
+| SQUID-MEG | 3–5 mm | 1 kHz | No | No | $2–5M | Good (but fixed, expensive) |
+| OPM-MEG | 3–5 mm | 200 Hz | No | Yes | $50–200K | Excellent |
+| NV Diamond | <1 mm | 1 kHz | No | Potentially | $5–50K | Excellent (when mature) |
+| Atom Interf. | N/A | 1–10 Hz | No | No | $100K+ | Poor (bandwidth limited) |
+
+**Conclusion**: OPM-MEG is the clear near-term choice for real-time brain network topology
+analysis. NV diamond arrays represent the medium-term upgrade path.

+
+## 3. Layer 2: Neural Decoders — AI Meets Neuroscience
+
+### 3.1 The Translation Paradigm
+
+Modern neural decoding frames the problem as machine translation:
+- **Source language**: brain activity patterns (high-dimensional time series)
+- **Target language**: text, images, speech, or motor commands
+- **Translation model**: transformer or diffusion-based neural network
+
+The pipeline is typically:
+```
+Brain signals → Feature extraction → Embedding space → Generative model → Output
+```
+
+This paradigm has been remarkably successful for *perceived* content decoding.
+
+### 3.2 Language Decoding
+
+**Architecture**: Brain → embedding → language model → text
+
+**Key Approaches**:
+
+1. **Brain-to-embedding mapping**: Linear or nonlinear regression from brain activity
+   (fMRI voxels or MEG sensors) to a shared embedding space (e.g., GPT embedding space).
+
+2. **Embedding-to-text generation**: Pre-trained language model (GPT, LLaMA) generates
+   text conditioned on the brain-derived embedding.
+
+3. **End-to-end training**: Joint optimization of encoder and decoder, fine-tuned per
+   subject.
+
+**Results**:
+| Study | Modality | Task | Performance |
+|-------|----------|------|-------------|
+| Tang et al. (2023) | fMRI | Continuous speech decoding | Semantic gist recovery |
+| Défossez et al. (2023) | MEG/EEG | Speech perception | Word-level identification |
+| Willett et al. (2023) | Implant | Imagined handwriting | 94 characters/minute |
+| Metzger et al. (2023) | ECoG | Speech neuroprosthesis | 78 words/minute |
+
+**Limitation**: All systems require extensive subject-specific training (typically 10–40 hours
+of calibration data). Cross-subject transfer is minimal. Decoding accuracy drops sharply for
+novel content not represented in training.
+
+### 3.3 Image Reconstruction from Brain Activity
+
+**Architecture**: Brain → latent vector → diffusion model → image
+
+**Key Approaches**:
+
+1. **fMRI-to-latent mapping**: Train a regression model from fMRI activation patterns to
+   the latent space of a diffusion model (Stable Diffusion, DALL-E).
+
+2. **Two-stage reconstruction**:
+   - Stage 1: Decode semantic content (what is in the image)
+   - Stage 2: Decode perceptual content (what it looks like)
+   - Combine via conditional diffusion generation
+
+3. **Brain Diffuser** (2023): Feeds fMRI representations through a variational autoencoder
+   into a latent diffusion model. Reconstructs viewed images with recognizable structure
+   and semantic content.
+
+**Results**:
+- Viewed image reconstruction: structural layout and major objects identifiable
+- Imagined image reconstruction: ~75% identification accuracy (constrained set)
+- Cross-subject: poor (each subject needs individual model)
+
+**What This Actually Recovers**:
+- High-level category (animal, building, face)
+- Spatial layout (left/right, center/periphery)
+- Color palette (approximate)
+- Semantic associations (beach scene, urban scene)
+
+**What This Cannot Recover**:
+- Fine details (text, specific faces, exact objects)
+- Private imagination (untrained novel content)
+- Dreams (no training data exists during dreams)
+
+### 3.4 Speech Synthesis from Neural Activity
+
+**Architecture**: Motor cortex signals → articulatory model → speech synthesis
+
+**Key Results**:
+- ECoG-based speech neuroprostheses decode attempted speech at 78 words/minute
+- Accuracy reaches 97% for 50-word vocabulary, drops to ~50% for open vocabulary
+- Real-time operation demonstrated for locked-in patients
+
+**How This Works**:
+The motor cortex generates articulatory commands (tongue, lips, jaw, larynx positions) even
+when paralyzed. Electrodes on the motor cortex surface capture these attempted movements.
+A neural network maps motor signals to phoneme sequences, then a vocoder generates audio.
+
+**Relevance to Mincut Architecture**: Speech decoding is a *content* problem. Mincut topology
+analysis is a *structure* problem. They are complementary, not competing. Mincut would detect
+when the speech network *activates* (pre-movement topology change), while the decoder would
+extract *what* is being said.
+
+### 3.5 The Decoding Boundary
+
+**What Current Decoders Can Access**:
+| Category | Accuracy | Modality | Training Required |
+|----------|----------|----------|-------------------|
+| Perceived speech (heard) | High | fMRI/ECoG | 10–40 hours |
+| Intended speech (attempted) | Moderate-High | ECoG/Implant | 10–40 hours |
+| Viewed images | Moderate | fMRI | 10–20 hours |
+| Imagined images | Low-Moderate | fMRI | 10–20 hours |
+| Motor intention (move left/right) | High | EEG/ECoG | 1–5 hours |
+| Semantic gist of thoughts | Low | fMRI | 10–40 hours |
+| Arbitrary private thoughts | None | Any | N/A |
+
+**Why Arbitrary Thought Reading Is Extremely Unlikely**:
+
+1. **Distributed representation**: Thoughts are encoded across millions of neurons in
+   patterns that are not spatially localized.
+
+2. **Individual specificity**: The neural code for the same concept differs between
+   individuals. Transfer models fail across subjects.
+
+3. **Context dependence**: The same neural pattern can represent different things depending
+   on context, state, and history.
+
+4. **Combinatorial complexity**: The space of possible thoughts is effectively infinite.
+   Training data can never cover it.
+
+5. **Temporal complexity**: Thoughts are not static patterns but dynamic trajectories
+   through neural state space.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Layer 3: Visualization and Reconstruction
+
+### 4.1 Visual Perception Reconstruction
+
+**State of the Art Pipeline**:
+```
+Brain signal (fMRI/MEG)
+  → Feature extraction (voxel patterns or sensor topography)
+  → Embedding (mapped to CLIP or diffusion model latent space)
+  → Conditional generation (Stable Diffusion or similar)
+  → Reconstructed image
+```
+
+**Meta AI (2023–2024)**: Demonstrated near-real-time reconstruction of visual stimuli from
+MEG signals. Used a large pre-trained visual model to map MEG topography to image embeddings,
+then generated images via diffusion. Temporal resolution was sufficient for video-like
+reconstruction of dynamic visual stimuli.
+
+**Quality Assessment**:
+- High-level semantic content: 70–90% match
+- Spatial layout: 60–80% match
+- Color and texture: 40–60% match
+- Fine detail and text: <20% match
+- Novel/imagined content: 20–40% match
+
+### 4.2 Speech Reconstruction
+
+**Pipeline**:
+```
+Motor cortex signals (ECoG/Implant)
+  → Articulatory parameter extraction (tongue, jaw, lip positions)
+  → Phoneme sequence prediction
+  → Neural vocoder (WaveNet, HiFi-GAN)
+  → Synthesized speech audio
+```
+
+**Performance**: Natural-sounding speech synthesis from neural signals demonstrated in
+multiple research groups. Quality sufficient for real-time communication in clinical BCI.
+
+### 4.3 The Generative AI Amplifier
+
+**Key Insight**: Generative AI (LLMs, diffusion models) dramatically amplified neural
+decoding capability by acting as a powerful *prior*. Instead of reconstructing output purely
+from neural data, the system uses neural data to *guide* a generative model that already
+knows what text and images look like.
+
+This means:
+- **Less neural data needed**: The generative model fills in details
+- **Higher quality output**: Outputs look natural even with noisy input
+- **Risk of hallucination**: The model may generate plausible but incorrect content
+- **Overfitting to priors**: Reconstructions may reflect model biases, not actual thought
+
+**Implication for Topology Analysis**: The RuVector/mincut approach sidesteps the hallucination
+problem entirely. It measures *structural properties* of brain activity (network topology,
+coherence boundaries) rather than trying to generate *content* (images, text). There is no
+generative prior to hallucinate — the topology either changes or it doesn't.
+
+---
+
+## 5. The Hard Limits
+
+### 5.1 Physical Limits of Non-Invasive Sensing
+
+**Magnetic field attenuation**: Neural magnetic fields drop as 1/r³ from the source.
+A cortical current dipole generating 100 fT at the scalp surface produces only ~10 fT at
+20 mm standoff (SQUID) and ~50 fT at 6 mm standoff (OPM). Deep brain structures (thalamus,
+hippocampus) generate signals attenuated by 10–100× at the scalp surface.
+
+**Inverse problem ill-conditioning**: Reconstructing 3D current sources from 2D surface
+measurements is inherently ill-posed. Regularization is required, which limits spatial
+resolution. Typical resolution: 5–10 mm for cortical sources, 10–20 mm for deep sources.
+
+**Noise floor**: Even with quantum sensors achieving fT/√Hz sensitivity, the fundamental
+noise floor limits signal detection from deep structures and weakly active regions.
+
+### 5.2 Three Determinants of Decoding Capability
+
+1. **Sensor fidelity**: Signal-to-noise ratio at the measurement point determines the
+   information ceiling. No algorithm can recover information not captured by the sensor.
+
+2. **Signal-to-noise ratio**: Environmental noise (urban electromagnetic interference,
+   building vibrations, physiological artifacts) degrades achievable SNR in practice.
+
+3. **Subject-specific training**: Neural representations are highly individual. Current
+   decoders require 10–40 hours of calibration per subject. This is a fundamental barrier
+   to scalable deployment.
+
+### 5.3 What Is and Is Not Possible
+
+**Confidently achievable with current technology**:
+- Binary cognitive state detection (focused vs. unfocused)
+- Gross motor intention (left hand vs. right hand)
+- Sleep stage classification
+- Epileptic activity detection
+- Perceived speech semantic gist (with fMRI and extensive training)
+
+**Achievable with near-term advances (2–5 years)**:
+- Multi-class cognitive state classification (5–10 states)
+- Pre-movement intention detection (200–500 ms lead)
+- Real-time brain network topology visualization
+- Early neurological disease biomarkers from connectivity analysis
+- Non-invasive motor BCI with moderate accuracy
+
+**Extremely unlikely**:
+- Real-time arbitrary thought reading
+- Cross-subject decoding without calibration
+- Covert brain scanning (sensors require cooperation)
+- Dream content reconstruction with meaningful accuracy
+
+---
+
+## 6. Where RuVector + Dynamic Mincut Fits
+
+### 6.1 The Unexplored Niche
+
+Most neural decoding research asks: **"What is the brain computing?"**
+
+The RuVector + mincut architecture asks: **"How is the brain organizing its computation?"**
+
+This is a fundamentally different question with different:
+- **Sensor requirements**: needs coverage breadth, not depth (favors non-invasive)
+- **Temporal requirements**: needs millisecond dynamics (favors MEG/OPM over fMRI)
+- **Output representation**: graphs and topology, not images or text
+- **Privacy implications**: measures state, not content
+
+### 6.2 Positioning in the Landscape
+
+```
+                    CONTENT-FOCUSED                STRUCTURE-FOCUSED
+                    (What is thought?)             (How does thought organize?)
+                    ─────────────────              ──────────────────────────────
+HIGH FIDELITY       Implant BCI                    [Gap - no one here]
+                    Speech neuroprostheses
+
+MEDIUM FIDELITY     fMRI image reconstruction      → RuVector + Mincut (OPM) ←
+                    fMRI language decoding          Dynamic topology analysis
+
+LOW FIDELITY        EEG motor imagery              EEG connectivity (basic)
+                    P300 BCI
+```
+
+The RuVector + mincut architecture occupies the **medium-fidelity, structure-focused** quadrant
+— a space that is largely unexplored in current research.
+
+### 6.3 What This Architecture Uniquely Enables
+
+1. **Real-time network topology tracking**: No existing system monitors brain connectivity
+   graph topology at millisecond resolution in real time.
+
+2. **Structural transition detection**: Mincut identifies when brain networks reorganize,
+   which correlates with cognitive state changes.
+
+3. **Longitudinal tracking**: RuVector memory enables tracking of topology evolution over
+   days, weeks, months — detecting gradual changes like neurodegeneration.
+
+4. **Content-agnostic monitoring**: The system does not need to decode what is being thought.
+   It detects how the brain organizes its processing, which is clinically and scientifically
+   valuable without raising thought-privacy concerns.
+
+5. **Cross-subject topology comparison**: While neural content representations differ between
+   individuals, network *topology* properties (modularity, hub structure, integration) are
+   more conserved across subjects.
+
+### 6.4 Integration with Content Decoders
+
+The topology analysis is complementary to content decoding, not competing:
+
+```
+Quantum Sensors → Preprocessing → Source Localization → ┬─ Content Decoder (text/image)
+                                                        ├─ Topology Analyzer (mincut)
+                                                        └─ Combined: state-aware decoding
+```
+
+**Example**: A speech BCI could use mincut to detect when the speech network *activates*
+(pre-speech topology change at t = -300ms), then trigger the content decoder only when
+speech intention is detected. This reduces false activations and improves timing.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Neural Foundation Models
+
+### 7.1 Emerging Direction
+
+Training large models directly on brain data (analogous to LLMs trained on text):
+- **Brain-GPT** concepts: pre-train on large neural datasets, fine-tune per subject
+- **Cross-modal alignment**: align brain activity embeddings with CLIP/GPT embeddings
+- **Self-supervised learning**: predict masked brain regions from surrounding activity
+
+### 7.2 Relevance to Topology Analysis
+
+Foundation models could learn brain topology patterns from large datasets:
+- Pre-train on thousands of subjects' connectivity graphs
+- Learn universal topology transition patterns
+- Transfer: adapt to new subjects with minimal calibration
+- Enable cross-subject topology comparison in a shared embedding space
+
+This is where RuVector's contrastive learning (AETHER) and geometric embedding become
+particularly valuable — they provide the representational framework for topology foundation
+models.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Five Landmark "Mind Reading" Experiments
+
+### 8.1 Gallant Lab Visual Reconstruction (UC Berkeley, 2011)
+
+**What they did**: Reconstructed movie clips from fMRI brain activity. Subjects watched movie
+trailers in an MRI scanner. A decoder predicted which of 1,000 random YouTube clips best
+matched the brain activity at each moment.
+
+**Result**: Blurry but recognizable reconstructions of viewed video.
+
+**Significance**: First demonstration that dynamic visual experience could be decoded from
+brain activity.
+
+### 8.2 Tang et al. Continuous Language Decoder (UT Austin, 2023)
+
+**What they did**: Decoded continuous speech from fMRI while subjects listened to stories.
+Used GPT-based language model to map fMRI activity to word sequences.
+
+**Result**: Recovered semantic meaning of stories (not verbatim words).
+
+**Significance**: First open-vocabulary language decoder from non-invasive imaging. Crucially,
+decoding failed when subjects were not cooperating — they could defeat the decoder by
+thinking about other things.
+
+### 8.3 Takagi & Nishimoto Image Reconstruction (2023)
+
+**What they did**: Fed fMRI patterns into a latent diffusion model (Stable Diffusion) to
+reconstruct viewed images.
+
+**Result**: Recognizable reconstructions with correct semantic content and approximate layout.
+
+**Significance**: Generative AI dramatically improved reconstruction quality over previous
+approaches.
+
+### 8.4 Willett et al. Imagined Handwriting (Stanford, 2021)
+
+**What they did**: Decoded imagined handwriting from motor cortex implant. Subject imagined
+writing letters; a neural network decoded the intended characters.
+
+**Result**: 94.1 characters per minute with 94.1% accuracy (with language model correction).
+
+**Significance**: Demonstrated that motor cortex retains detailed movement representations
+even years after paralysis.
+
+### 8.5 Meta AI Real-Time MEG Reconstruction (2023–2024)
+
+**What they did**: Trained a model to reconstruct viewed images from MEG signals in near
+real time.
+
+**Result**: Decoded visual category and approximate layout with sub-second latency.
+
+**Significance**: First demonstration of MEG-based visual decoding approaching real-time
+speed. MEG's temporal resolution enabled tracking of dynamic visual processing.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Strategic Implications for RuView Architecture
+
+### 9.1 What the SOTA Map Tells Us
+
+1. **Content decoding is advancing rapidly** but remains subject-specific and perception-bound.
+2. **Non-invasive sensors are reaching sufficient fidelity** for network-level analysis.
+3. **Generative AI amplifies decoding** but introduces hallucination risks.
+4. **Topology analysis is the unexplored dimension** — no major group is doing real-time
+   mincut-based brain network analysis.
+5. **OPM-MEG is the enabling technology** — wearable, high-fidelity, affordable trajectory.
+
+### 9.2 Recommended Architecture Priorities
+
+| Priority | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| OPM-MEG integration first | Most mature quantum sensor, sufficient for network topology |
+| Real-time mincut pipeline | Unique capability, no competition |
+| RuVector longitudinal tracking | Clinical value for disease monitoring |
+| Content decoder integration later | Let others solve content; focus on topology |
+| NV diamond upgrade path | Higher spatial resolution when technology matures |
+
+### 9.3 Competitive Landscape
+
+**Who else is working on brain network topology?**
+
+- **Graph neural network approaches**: Several groups apply GNNs to brain connectivity data,
+  but primarily for static classification (disease vs. healthy), not real-time dynamic
+  topology tracking.
+
+- **Connectome analysis**: Human Connectome Project provides structural connectivity maps,
+  but these are static (one scan per subject).
+
+- **Dynamic functional connectivity (dFC)**: fMRI-based studies examine time-varying
+  connectivity, but at ~0.5 Hz temporal resolution — too slow for real-time cognitive
+  tracking.
+
+- **No one is doing real-time mincut on brain networks from MEG/OPM data.** This is
+  genuinely unexplored territory.
+
+---
+
+## 10. The Topological Difference
+
+The critical reframing that separates this architecture from the mainstream neural decoding
+field:
+
+**Mainstream Neural Decoding**:
+```
+Brain activity → What is the content? → Generate text/image/speech
+```
+- Requires subject-specific training
+- Limited to perceived/intended content
+- Raises profound privacy concerns
+- Subject can defeat the decoder by not cooperating
+
+**Topological Brain Analysis (This Architecture)**:
+```
+Brain activity → How is the network organized? → Track topology changes
+```
+- More conserved across subjects (topology > content)
+- Measures cognitive state, not content
+- Privacy-preserving by design
+- Cannot be easily defeated (topology is involuntary)
+- Clinically valuable (disease signatures)
+- Scientifically novel (unexplored direction)
+
+This is not a weaker version of mind reading. It is a fundamentally different measurement
+that reveals aspects of brain function that content decoders cannot access.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Conclusion
+
+The 2023–2026 SOTA landscape shows that neural decoding has made remarkable progress on
+content recovery from brain activity, driven by the convergence of better sensors (OPM),
+better algorithms (transformers, diffusion models), and better training data. Yet this
+progress has not addressed the fundamental question of how cognition organizes itself
+topologically.
+
+The RuVector + dynamic mincut architecture positions itself in this gap — not competing with
+content decoders but opening an entirely new dimension of brain observation. Combined with
+OPM quantum sensors, this becomes a "topological brain observatory" that measures the
+architecture of thought rather than its content.
+
+The sensor fidelity is nearly sufficient. The algorithms exist. The software architecture
+(RuVector, mincut, temporal tracking) maps directly from the existing RF sensing codebase.
+The application space (clinical diagnostics, cognitive monitoring, BCI augmentation) is
+commercially viable.
+
+The question is no longer "can this work?" but "who will build it first?"

+
+## SOTA Research Document — RF Topological Sensing Series (22/22)
+
+**Date**: 2026-03-09
+**Domain**: Clinical Diagnostics × BCI × Cognitive Science × Commercial Applications
+**Status**: Applications Roadmap / Strategic Analysis
+
+---
+
+## 1. Introduction — Not Mind Reading, Something Better
+
+If you build a system that combines high-sensitivity neural sensing, RuVector-style geometric
+memory, and dynamic mincut topology analysis, you are not building a mind reader. You are
+building a **brain state observatory**.
+
+The most valuable applications are not "reading thoughts." They are systems that measure how
+cognition organizes itself over time — and detect when that organization goes wrong.
+
+This document maps ten application domains where the RuVector + dynamic mincut architecture
+becomes unusually powerful, with honest assessment of feasibility, market reality, and
+technical requirements for each.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Domain 1: Neurological Disease Detection
+
+### 2.1 Clinical Need
+
+Neurological diseases are diagnosed late. By the time symptoms are visible:
+- Alzheimer's: 40–60% of neurons in affected regions are already dead
+- Parkinson's: 60–80% of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra are lost
+- Epilepsy: seizures may have been building for years before clinical onset
+- Multiple Sclerosis: demyelination is often widespread before first relapse
+
+The fundamental problem: structural damage is detectable only after it becomes severe.
+Functional network changes precede structural damage by years.
+
+### 2.2 How Mincut Detects Disease
+
+Each neurological condition has a characteristic topology signature:
+
+**Alzheimer's Disease**:
+- Progressive disconnection of the default mode network (DMN)
+- Loss of hub connectivity (especially posterior cingulate, medial prefrontal)
+- Increased graph fragmentation → mincut value decreases over months/years
+- Mincut tracking detects gradual network dissolution before clinical symptoms
+
+Topology signature:
+```
+Healthy:   mc(DMN) = 0.82 ± 0.05    (strongly integrated)
+Prodromal: mc(DMN) = 0.61 ± 0.08    (beginning to fragment)
+Clinical:  mc(DMN) = 0.34 ± 0.12    (severely fragmented)
+```
+
+**Epilepsy**:
+- Pre-ictal phase: abnormal hypersynchronization of local networks
+- Focal region becomes increasingly connected internally while disconnecting from surround
+- Mincut detects the pre-seizure topology: high local coupling, low global integration
+- Prediction window: 30 seconds to 5 minutes before seizure onset
+
+Topology signature:
+```
+Inter-ictal: mc(focus) = 0.45    mc(global) = 0.72
+Pre-ictal:   mc(focus) = 0.12    mc(global) = 0.83    ← focus isolating
+Ictal:       mc(focus) = 0.03    mc(global) = 0.95    ← hypersync
+```
+
+**Parkinson's Disease**:
+- Disruption of basal ganglia–cortical motor loops
+- Beta oscillation network topology changes
+- Asymmetric degradation (one hemisphere typically leads)
+- Mincut across motor network correlates with motor symptom severity
+
+**Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)**:
+- Acute: diffuse disconnection, globally elevated mincut
+- Recovery: gradual re-integration of network modules
+- Chronic: persistent topology abnormalities correlate with cognitive deficits
+- Mincut tracking provides objective recovery metric
+
+### 2.3 Clinical Implementation
+
+**Input**: Neural signals from OPM-MEG or NV magnetometer array
+**Processing**: Dynamic connectivity graph → mincut analysis → longitudinal tracking
+**Output**: Network integrity report, early warning alerts, progression tracking
+
+**Regulatory Pathway**: Medical device (FDA 510(k) or De Novo for diagnostic aid)
+- Predicate devices: existing MEG diagnostic systems
+- Clinical validation: prospective cohort studies comparing mincut biomarkers to
+  established diagnostic criteria
+- Timeline: 3–5 years from first prototype to regulatory submission
+
+### 2.4 Market Reality
+
+Hospitals spend billions annually on diagnostic neuroimaging (MRI, CT, PET). Current tools
+provide structural images or slow functional snapshots (fMRI). No tool provides real-time
+functional network topology monitoring.
+
+**Market size estimates**:
+| Application | Annual Market | Current Gap |
+|-------------|-------------|-------------|
+| Alzheimer's diagnostics | $6B globally | No early functional biomarker |
+| Epilepsy monitoring | $2B globally | Poor seizure prediction |
+| TBI assessment | $1.5B globally | No objective recovery metric |
+| Parkinson's monitoring | $1B globally | Limited progression tracking |
+

+
+## 3. Domain 2: Brain-Computer Interfaces
+
+### 3.1 Architecture
+
+```
+Neural signals → RuVector embeddings → State memory → Decode intent → Device control
+```
+
+### 3.2 Capabilities
+
+| Application | Signal Source | Accuracy Target | Latency Target |
+|-------------|-------------|-----------------|----------------|
+| Prosthetic control | Motor cortex topology | 90%+ for 6 DOF | <100 ms |
+| Typing/communication | Speech network topology | 95%+ characters | <200 ms |
+| Computer cursor control | Motor intention states | 95%+ directions | <50 ms |
+| Environmental control | Cognitive state | 85%+ for 4 commands | <500 ms |
+
+### 3.3 Topology-Based BCI Advantages
+
+Traditional BCI decodes amplitude patterns (which neurons fire, how strongly).
+Topology-based BCI decodes network reorganization patterns.
+
+**Advantages**:
+1. **More robust**: Network topology is less variable than amplitude patterns across sessions
+2. **Self-calibrating**: Topology features normalize automatically (relative, not absolute)
+3. **State-aware**: Detects when the user is "ready" vs "idle" from network structure
+4. **Pre-movement detection**: Topology changes precede motor output by 200–500 ms
+
+**Disadvantage**:
+- Lower spatial specificity than invasive implants (cannot decode individual finger movements)
+- Best for categorical commands, not continuous analog control
+
+### 3.4 Non-Invasive BCI Breakthrough Potential
+
+Current non-invasive BCI (EEG-based) achieves ~70–85% accuracy for binary classification.
+The limitation is EEG's poor spatial resolution.
+
+OPM-MEG + mincut could provide:
+- Better spatial resolution → more distinguishable states
+- Topology features that are more stable across sessions
+- Reduced calibration time (topology patterns are more conserved)
+- Potential accuracy: 85–95% for 4–8 state classification
+
+**This could be the first non-invasive BCI that approaches implant-level utility for
+categorical control tasks.**
+
+### 3.5 Speech Reconstruction for Paralyzed Patients
+
+The most impactful near-term BCI application:
+- Detect speech intention from motor cortex network activation
+- Classify attempted speech from topology of speech motor network
+- Combine with language model for error correction
+- Target: 30–50 words per minute (current ECoG: 78 wpm)
+
+Even at lower throughput, a non-invasive speech BCI eliminates the need for brain surgery.
+

+
+## 5. Domain 4: Mental Health Diagnostics
+
+### 5.1 The Diagnostic Gap
+
+Most psychiatric diagnoses rely on subjective questionnaires (PHQ-9, GAD-7, DSM-5 criteria).
+There are no objective biomarkers for most mental health conditions. This leads to:
+- Diagnostic uncertainty (40% of depression cases misdiagnosed initially)
+- Treatment selection by trial-and-error
+- No objective measure of treatment response
+- Stigma from perceived subjectivity of diagnosis
+
+### 5.2 Neural Topology Biomarkers
+
+Each psychiatric condition has characteristic network topology disruptions:
+
+**Major Depression**:
+- Default mode network (DMN) over-integration: abnormally low mincut within DMN
+- Reduced executive network connectivity
+- Disrupted DMN–executive network anticorrelation
+- Topology signature: mc(DMN) low, mc(DMN↔Executive) high
+
+**Generalized Anxiety**:
+- Amygdala–prefrontal connectivity disruption
+- Hyperconnectivity of threat-processing networks
+- Reduced top-down regulation from prefrontal cortex
+- Topology signature: abnormal hub structure in salience network
+
+**PTSD**:
+- Hippocampal disconnection from cortical networks
+- Amygdala hyperconnectivity
+- Disrupted fear extinction network (ventromedial PFC)
+- Topology signature: fragmented memory encoding network
+
+**Schizophrenia**:
+- Global disruption of integration-segregation balance
+- Reduced small-world properties
+- Disrupted thalamo-cortical connectivity
+- Topology signature: globally altered graph metrics
+
+### 5.3 Treatment Monitoring
+
+**Antidepressant response tracking**:
+- Baseline topology assessment before treatment
+- Weekly/monthly topology monitoring during treatment
+- Objective measure: is the network topology normalizing?
+- Predict treatment response from early topology changes (week 1–2)
+
+**Psychotherapy monitoring**:
+- Track network changes during cognitive behavioral therapy
+- Measure: is the DMN–executive anticorrelation restoring?
+- Objective progress metric for therapist and patient
+
+### 5.4 Functional Brain Biomarker Platform
+
+The RuVector + mincut system could become a **general-purpose functional brain biomarker
+platform**:
+
+```
+Patient Assessment Flow:
+1. 15-minute OPM recording (resting state + brief tasks)
+2. Real-time connectivity graph construction
+3. Mincut analysis → topology feature extraction
+4. Compare to normative database (age/sex matched)
+5. Generate biomarker report:
+   - Network integration score
+   - Modular structure comparison
+   - Hub connectivity profile
+   - Anomaly flags for specific conditions
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Domain 5: Neurofeedback and Brain Training
+
+### 6.1 Real-Time Feedback Loop
+
+```
+Brain activity → Topology analysis → Feedback signal → Cognitive adjustment
+                         ↑                                      ↓
+                         └──────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### 6.2 Applications
+
+**Focus Training**:
+- Target: increase frontal-parietal network integration (mincut decrease in attention network)
+- Feedback: visual/auditory signal indicating network state
+- Training: 20–30 sessions of 30 minutes each
+- Evidence: EEG neurofeedback for attention has moderate effect sizes (d = 0.4–0.6)
+- OPM-based topology feedback could improve by providing more specific targets
+
+**ADHD Therapy**:
+- Target: normalize fronto-striatal network connectivity
+- Current EEG neurofeedback for ADHD: some evidence, controversial
+- Topology-based approach may be more specific → better outcomes
+- Insurance coverage potential if clinical trials succeed
+

+| Session duration | 30 minutes | Battery/comfort limits |
+| Feature stability | <5% variance | Topology features stable |
+| Wearability | Comfortable helmet | OPM helmets demonstrated |
+| Home use | Portable setup | Not yet (shielding needed) |
+

+
+## 7. Domain 6: Dream and Imagination Reconstruction
+
+### 7.1 Current State
+
+**What has been demonstrated**:
+- fMRI reconstruction of viewed images (waking state) using diffusion models
+- Basic decoding of imagined visual categories from fMRI
+- Sleep stage classification from EEG/MEG
+
+**What has NOT been demonstrated**:
+- Real-time dream content reconstruction
+- Imagined scene reconstruction with meaningful detail
+- Dream-to-image generation
+
+### 7.2 What Topology Analysis Adds
+
+Mincut analysis during sleep/dreaming could:
+- **Map dream network topology**: which brain regions are co-active during dreams?
+- **Detect lucid dreaming**: characterized by frontal network re-integration
+- **Track REM vs NREM topology**: distinct network organizations
+- **Identify replay events**: hippocampal-cortical coupling during memory consolidation
+
+### 7.3 Brain-to-Art Interface
+
+Creative application:
+- Artist wears OPM helmet during ideation
+- Topology analysis captures network states during creative thought
+- Map topology states to generative model parameters
+- Generate visual art that reflects brain network organization (not thought content)
+- The art represents HOW the brain is organizing, not WHAT it is imagining
+
+### 7.4 Honest Assessment
+
+Dream reconstruction remains the most speculative application. Current technology cannot
+meaningfully decode dream content. Topology analysis during sleep is feasible but interpretation
+is limited. This domain is 10+ years from practical application.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Domain 7: Cognitive Research
+
+### 8.1 The Scientific Opportunity
+
+Instead of static brain scans, researchers get continuous graph topology of cognition. This
+enables entirely new categories of scientific questions.
+
+### 8.2 Research Questions This Architecture Could Answer
+
+**How do thoughts form?**
+- Track topology transitions from idle state to focused cognition
+- Measure network integration speed and sequence
+- Compare across individuals, age groups, expertise levels
+- Temporal resolution: millisecond-by-millisecond topology evolution
+
+**How do ideas propagate through brain networks?**
+- Present stimulus → track topology wave propagation
+- Measure information flow direction from mincut asymmetry
+- Identify bottleneck regions (high betweenness centrality)
+- Compare sensory processing paths across modalities
+
+**How does memory recall reorganize connectivity?**
+- Cue presentation → hippocampal network activation → cortical reinstatement
+- Topology signature of successful vs failed recall
+- Reconsolidation: how does recalled memory modify the network?
+- Longitudinal: how do memory networks change over weeks?
+
+**How does creativity emerge?**
+- Divergent thinking: loosened topology constraints, more random connections
+- Convergent thinking: tightened topology, focused integration
+- Creative insight (aha moment): sudden topology reorganization
+- Compare creative vs non-creative individuals' topology dynamics
+
+**Developmental neuroscience**:
+- How do children's brain topologies differ from adults?
+- Track topology development across childhood and adolescence
+- Sensitive periods: when do specific network topologies crystallize?
+- OPM's wearability makes pediatric studies practical
+
+**Aging and neurodegeneration**:
+- Healthy aging: gradual topology changes over decades
+- Pathological aging: accelerated topology degradation
+- Cognitive reserve: maintained topology despite structural damage
+- Can topology analysis predict cognitive decline years in advance?
+
+### 8.3 Methodological Advantages
+
+| Current Methods | Topology Approach |
+|----------------|-------------------|
+| fMRI: 0.5 Hz temporal resolution | OPM: 200+ Hz dynamics |
+| EEG: poor spatial resolution | OPM: 3–5 mm source localization |
+| Static connectivity matrices | Dynamic time-varying graphs |
+| Single-session snapshots | Longitudinal RuVector tracking |
+| Group-level statistics | Individual topology fingerprints |
+
+### 8.4 This Is Network Science of Cognition
+
+The field has studied individual brain regions and pairwise connections. Topology analysis
+studies the emergent organizational principles — how the whole network self-organizes to
+produce cognition. This is analogous to studying traffic patterns in a city rather than
+individual cars.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Domain 8: Human-Computer Interaction

+## 11. Domain 10: Brain Network Digital Twins
+
+### 11.1 The Most Advanced Concept
+
+A digital twin of a person's brain network: a dynamic graph model that captures their unique

+
+### 11.4 Data Requirements
+
+| Component | Data Source | Frequency | Storage |
+|-----------|-----------|-----------|---------|
+| Structural connectome | MRI/DTI | Once (baseline) + yearly | ~1 GB |
+| Functional topology | OPM recording | Monthly 1-hour sessions | ~2 GB/session |
+| Dynamic model | Computed from above | Updated per session | ~100 MB |
+| Longitudinal trajectory | Accumulated | Growing database | ~50 GB/decade |
+
+### 11.5 RuVector's Role

+- Each session → set of topology embeddings stored in RuVector memory
+- Nearest-neighbor search: find past states most similar to current
+- Trajectory analysis: is the topology trajectory trending toward health or disease?
+- Cross-subject comparison: find patients with similar topology profiles
+- HNSW indexing: fast retrieval from growing longitudinal database

+
+## 12. Where Dynamic Mincut Becomes Unique
+
+### 12.1 Beyond Deep Learning
+
+Most brain decoding systems use deep learning exclusively: neural signals → neural network →
+output labels. The model is a black box that maps input patterns to outputs.
+
+Dynamic mincut adds **structural intelligence**: instead of pattern matching, it computes
+a mathematically precise property of the brain's connectivity graph.
+
+### 12.2 The Key Question Shift
+
+| Traditional Approach | Mincut Approach |
+|---------------------|-----------------|
+| "What is the signal?" | "Where does the network break?" |
+| Pattern matching | Structural analysis |
+| Requires large training data | Requires graph construction |
+| Black box | Interpretable (the cut is visible) |
+| Content-dependent | Content-independent |
+| Subject-specific | More transferable |
+
+### 12.3 Interpretability Advantage
+
+When a deep learning model classifies a brain state, explaining *why* it made that
+classification is difficult (interpretability problem). When mincut identifies a network
+partition, the explanation is inherent: "These brain regions disconnected from those brain
+regions." A clinician can directly inspect the partition and relate it to known functional
+neuroanatomy.
+
+### 12.4 Mathematical Properties
+
+Mincut has well-defined mathematical properties that deep learning lacks:
+- **Duality**: Max-flow/min-cut theorem provides dual interpretation
+- **Stability**: small perturbations produce small changes in cut value
+- **Monotonicity**: adding edges can only decrease mincut
+- **Submodularity**: enables efficient optimization
+- **Spectral connection**: Cheeger inequality links cut to graph Laplacian eigenvalues
+
+These properties provide formal guarantees about the behavior of the analysis, unlike
+neural network classifiers which can fail unpredictably.
+

+
+## 13. The Most Powerful Future Use — Google Maps for Cognition
+
+### 13.1 The Vision
+
+A real-time neural topology map. Think of it like Google Maps for the brain:
+
+| Google Maps | Brain Topology Observatory |
+|------------|--------------------------|
+| Roads and highways | Neural pathways |
+| Traffic flow | Information flow |
+| Districts and neighborhoods | Functional brain modules |
+| Traffic jams | Processing bottlenecks |
+| Road closures | Disconnected pathways |
+| Construction zones | Reorganizing networks |
+| Rush hour patterns | Cognitive state patterns |
+| Navigation routing | Information routing |
+
+### 13.2 What You Would See
+
+A real-time display showing:
+1. **Brain regions** as nodes, colored by activity level
+2. **Connections** as edges, thickness proportional to coupling strength
+3. **Module boundaries** highlighted by mincut analysis
+4. **State transitions** animated as boundaries shift
+5. **Timeline** showing topology history
+6. **Anomaly markers** where topology deviates from baseline
+
+### 13.3 How This Changes Neuroscience
+
+Current neuroscience is like having satellite photos of a city — you see the buildings but
+not the traffic. This observatory adds the traffic layer: real-time flow, congestion,
+routing, and reorganization.
+
+**Questions that become answerable**:
+- Which brain networks activate first during decision-making?
+- How does the network reorganize during insight?
+- What topology predicts memory formation success?
+- How does anesthesia progressively disconnect brain modules?
+- What is the topology of consciousness?
+
+---
+
+## 14. Hard Reality Check
+
+### 14.1 Three Things That Determine Success
+
+1. **Sensor fidelity**: SNR at the measurement point sets the information ceiling. Current
+   OPMs: 7–15 fT/√Hz, adequate for cortical sources, marginal for deep structures.
+
+2. **Signal-to-noise ratio in practice**: Environmental noise, physiological artifacts, and
+   movement artifacts degrade achievable SNR. Magnetic shielding is currently required.
+
+3. **Subject-specific calibration**: While topology features are more transferable than
+   content features, some individual calibration is still needed for source localization
+   and parcellation mapping.
+
+### 14.2 What Must Improve
+
+| Technology | Current | Required for Clinical Use | Timeline |
+|-----------|---------|--------------------------|----------|
+| OPM sensitivity | 7–15 fT/√Hz | 3–5 fT/√Hz | 2–3 years |
+| Magnetic shielding | Room-scale | Portable/head-mounted | 5–7 years |
+| Sensor cost | $5–15K each | $500–1K each | 5–10 years |
+| Real-time processing | Research prototype | Clinical-grade software | 2–4 years |
+| Normative database | Small research studies | 10,000+ subjects | 5–8 years |
+
+### 14.3 Honest Feasibility Assessment
+
+| Domain | Technical Feasibility | Timeline | Market Size |
+|--------|---------------------|----------|-------------|
+| 1. Disease detection | High | 3–5 years to pilot | $10B+ |
+| 2. BCI | Medium-High | 2–4 years to prototype | $5B |
+| 3. Cognitive monitoring | High | 1–3 years to demo | $2B |
+| 4. Mental health dx | Medium | 4–7 years to validate | $8B |
+| 5. Neurofeedback | Medium-High | 2–4 years to product | $1B |
+| 6. Dream/imagination | Low | 10+ years | Unknown |
+| 7. Cognitive research | High | 1–2 years to use | $500M (grants) |
+| 8. HCI | Medium | 5–10 years to product | $3B |
+| 9. Wearables | Low-Medium | 10–15 years | $20B+ |
+| 10. Digital twins | Low-Medium | 7–12 years | $5B+ |
+
+---
+
+## 15. Strategic Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1: Research Platform (Year 1–2)
+
+**Goal**: Demonstrate real-time brain topology tracking from OPM-MEG data.
+
+**Deliverables**:
+- Software pipeline: OPM data → connectivity graph → mincut analysis → visualization
+- Proof-of-concept: distinguish rest/task/sleep from topology features
+- RuVector integration: longitudinal topology tracking across sessions
+- Publication: first paper on real-time mincut-based brain topology analysis
+
+**Hardware**: 32-channel OPM system in magnetically shielded room
+**Cost**: ~$200K (sensors) + $300K (shielding) + $100K (computing) = ~$600K
+**Team**: 3–5 researchers (signal processing, neuroscience, software engineering)
+
+### Phase 2: Clinical Validation (Year 2–4)
+
+**Goal**: Validate topology biomarkers against clinical diagnoses.
+
+**Deliverables**:
+- Clinical study: 100+ patients with known neurological conditions
+- Normative database: 500+ healthy controls
+- Sensitivity/specificity for each disease topology signature
+- Regulatory pre-submission meeting with FDA
+
+**Applications to validate**:
+1. Epilepsy seizure prediction (most clear-cut clinical signal)
+2. Alzheimer's early detection (largest market need)
+3. Cognitive workload monitoring (simplest to commercialize)
+
+### Phase 3: Product Development (Year 3–6)
+
+**Goal**: First commercial topology monitoring system.
+
+**Two parallel tracks**:
+1. **Clinical diagnostic**: OPM + topology software for hospitals
+2. **Professional monitoring**: simplified system for aviation/military
+
+**Commercialization priorities**:
+- Cognitive workload monitoring (defense/aviation contracts) — fastest revenue
+- Epilepsy topology monitoring (clinical need, clear regulatory path) — largest impact
+- Brain health assessment (wellness market) — largest eventual market
+
+### Phase 4: Platform Expansion (Year 5–10)
+
+**Goal**: General-purpose brain topology platform.
+
+**Capabilities**:
+- Digital twin construction and tracking
+- Treatment response prediction
+- Neurofeedback with topology targets
+- Consumer wearable (as sensor technology miniaturizes)
+
+---
+
+## 16. Two Strategic Questions
+
+### Question 1: Research Platform vs. Commercial Product?
+
+**Answer**: Start as research platform, spin into commercial products.
+
+The RuVector + mincut core engine is the reusable technology. It should be:
+- Open-source for research adoption → builds community and validation
+- Licensed commercially for clinical and professional applications
+- The research platform generates the clinical evidence needed for commercial products
+
+### Question 2: Non-Invasive Only vs. Clinical Implant Research?
+
+**Answer**: Non-invasive first, implant collaboration later.
+
+**Why non-invasive is the right starting point**:
+1. Mincut topology analysis needs *breadth* of coverage (many regions), which non-invasive
+   excels at
+2. Implants provide *depth* (single neuron) but only from tiny patches — the opposite of
+   what topology analysis needs
+3. OPM-MEG fidelity is sufficient for network-level topology analysis
+4. Regulatory pathway is simpler for non-invasive devices
+5. Market is larger (no surgery required)
+
+**Future implant collaboration**:
+Once the topology framework is validated non-invasively, combine with implant data for:
+- Ground-truth validation of topology features
+- Hybrid decoding: topology (non-invasive) + content (implant)
+- Closed-loop stimulation guided by topology analysis
+
+---
+
+## 17. Conclusion
+
+The ten application domains for a brain state observatory are not speculative science fiction.
+They are engineering challenges with clear technical requirements, identifiable markets, and
+realistic development timelines. The enabling technologies — OPM sensors, graph algorithms,
+RuVector memory, dynamic mincut — exist today or are within reach.
+
+The strategic insight is this: while the rest of the field races to decode brain *content*
+(what people think, see, imagine), there is an entirely unexplored dimension of brain
+*structure* (how networks organize, reorganize, and degrade). Dynamic mincut analysis is
+the mathematical tool that makes this dimension measurable.
+
+The most interesting frontier idea remains: combine quantum magnetometers, RuVector neural
+memory, and dynamic mincut coherence detection to build a topological brain observatory that
+measures how cognition organizes itself in real time. That is genuinely unexplored territory,
+and it could fundamentally change neuroscience.
+

+
+*This document is the applications capstone of the RF Topological Sensing research series.
+It maps ten application domains for the RuVector + dynamic mincut brain state observatory,

+
+**Date**: 2026-03-08
+**Domain**: Quantum Sensing × RF Topology × Graph-Based Detection

+
+## 1. Introduction
+
+Classical RF sensing using ESP32 WiFi mesh nodes operates at milliwatt power levels with
+sensitivity limited by thermal noise floors (~-90 dBm). Quantum sensors offer fundamentally
+different detection mechanisms that can surpass classical limits by orders of magnitude,
+potentially transforming RF topological sensing from room-scale detection to single-photon
+field measurement.
+
+This document surveys quantum sensing technologies relevant to RF topological sensing,
+evaluates their integration potential with the existing RuVector/mincut architecture, and
+identifies near-term and long-term opportunities.

+
+## 2. Quantum Sensing Fundamentals
+
+### 2.1 Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) Centers in Diamond
+
+NV centers are point defects in diamond crystal lattice where a nitrogen atom replaces a
+carbon atom adjacent to a vacancy. Key properties:
+
+- **Sensitivity**: ~1 pT/√Hz at room temperature for magnetic fields
+- **Operating temperature**: Room temperature (unique advantage)
+- **Frequency range**: DC to ~10 GHz (microwave)
+- **Spatial resolution**: Nanometer-scale (single NV) to micrometer (ensemble)
+- **Detection mechanism**: Optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR)
+
+```
+Diamond Crystal with NV Center:
+
+    C---C---C---C
+    |   |   |   |
+    C---N   V---C      N = Nitrogen atom
+    |       |   |      V = Vacancy
+    C---C---C---C      C = Carbon atoms
+    |   |   |   |
+    C---C---C---C
+
+ODMR Protocol:
+    Green Laser → NV → Red Fluorescence
+                   ↕
+              Microwave Drive
+
+    Resonance frequency shifts with local B-field
+    ΔfNV = γNV × B_local
+    γNV = 28 GHz/T
+```
+
+### 2.2 Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs)
+
+- **Sensitivity**: ~1 fT/√Hz (femtotesla — 1000× better than NV)
+- **Operating temperature**: 4 K (liquid helium) or 77 K (high-Tc)
+- **Frequency range**: DC to ~1 GHz
+- **Detection mechanism**: Josephson junction flux quantization
+- **Limitation**: Requires cryogenic cooling
+
+```
+SQUID Loop:
+
+    ┌──────[JJ1]──────┐
+    │                  │       JJ = Josephson Junction
+    │    Φ_ext →       │       Φ = Magnetic flux
+    │    (flux)        │
+    │                  │       V = Φ₀/(2π) × dφ/dt
+    └──────[JJ2]──────┘       Φ₀ = 2.07 × 10⁻¹⁵ Wb
+
+    Critical current: Ic = 2I₀|cos(πΦ_ext/Φ₀)|
+    Voltage oscillates with period Φ₀
+```
+
+### 2.3 Rydberg Atom Sensors
+
+Atoms excited to high principal quantum number (n > 30) become extraordinarily sensitive
+to electric fields:
+
+- **Sensitivity**: ~1 µV/m/√Hz (electric field)
+- **Operating temperature**: Room temperature (vapor cell)
+- **Frequency range**: DC to THz (broadband, tunable)
+- **Detection mechanism**: Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT)
+- **Key advantage**: Self-calibrated, SI-traceable (no calibration needed)
+
+```
+Rydberg EIT Level Scheme:
+
+    |r⟩ -------- Rydberg state (n~50)     ← RF field couples |r⟩↔|r'⟩
+         ↕ Ωc (coupling laser)
+    |e⟩ -------- Excited state
+         ↕ Ωp (probe laser)
+    |g⟩ -------- Ground state
+
+    Without RF: EIT window → transparent to probe
+    With RF:    Autler-Townes splitting → absorption changes
+
+    Splitting: Ω_RF = μ_rr' × E_RF / ℏ
+    where μ_rr' = n² × e × a₀ (scales as n²!)
+```
+
+### 2.4 Atomic Magnetometers
+
+Spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) magnetometers using alkali vapor:
+
+- **Sensitivity**: ~0.16 fT/√Hz (best demonstrated)
+- **Operating temperature**: ~150°C (heated vapor cell)
+- **Frequency range**: DC to ~1 kHz
+- **Size**: Can be miniaturized to chip-scale (CSAM)
+- **Limitation**: Low bandwidth, requires magnetic shielding
+
+### 2.5 Comparison Table
+
+| Sensor Type | Sensitivity | Temp | Bandwidth | Size | Cost Est. |
+|------------|-------------|------|-----------|------|-----------|
+| NV Diamond | ~1 pT/√Hz | 300K | DC-10 GHz | cm | $1K-10K |
+| SQUID | ~1 fT/√Hz | 4-77K | DC-1 GHz | cm | $10K-100K |
+| Rydberg | ~1 µV/m/√Hz | 300K | DC-THz | 10 cm | $5K-50K |
+| SERF | ~0.16 fT/√Hz | 420K | DC-1 kHz | cm | $5K-50K |
+| ESP32 (classical) | ~-90 dBm | 300K | 2.4/5 GHz | cm | $5 |
+
+---
+
+## 3. Quantum-Enhanced RF Detection
+
+### 3.1 Classical vs Quantum Noise Limits
+
+Classical RF detection is limited by thermal (Johnson-Nyquist) noise:
+
+```
+Classical thermal noise floor:
+    P_noise = k_B × T × B
+
+    At T = 300K, B = 20 MHz (WiFi channel):
+    P_noise = 1.38e-23 × 300 × 20e6 = 8.3 × 10⁻¹⁴ W
+    P_noise = -101 dBm
+
+Shot noise limit (coherent state):
+    ΔE = √(ℏω/(2ε₀V))     per photon
+    SNR_shot ∝ √N_photons
+
+Heisenberg limit (entangled state):
+    SNR_Heisenberg ∝ N_photons
+
+    Quantum advantage: √N improvement over shot noise
+    For N = 10⁶ photons → 1000× SNR improvement
+```
+
+### 3.2 Quantum Advantage Regimes
+
+The quantum advantage for RF sensing depends on the signal regime:
+
+| Regime | Classical | Quantum | Advantage |
+|--------|-----------|---------|-----------|
+| Strong signal (>-60 dBm) | Adequate | Unnecessary | None |
+| Medium (-60 to -90 dBm) | Noisy | Cleaner | 10-100× SNR |
+| Weak (<-90 dBm) | Undetectable | Detectable | Enabling |
+| Single-photon | Impossible | Feasible | Infinite |
+
+For RF topological sensing, the quantum advantage is most relevant for:
+- Detecting very subtle field perturbations (breathing, heartbeat)
+- Sensing through walls or at extended range
+- Distinguishing multiple overlapping perturbations
+
+### 3.3 Quantum Noise Reduction Techniques
+
+**Squeezed States**: Reduce noise in one quadrature at expense of other:
+```
+ΔX₁ × ΔX₂ ≥ ℏ/2
+Squeeze X₁: ΔX₁ = e⁻ʳ × √(ℏ/2)    (reduced)
+             ΔX₂ = e⁺ʳ × √(ℏ/2)    (increased)
+
+For r = 2 (17.4 dB squeezing):
+    Noise reduction in amplitude: 7.4×
+    Demonstrated: 15 dB squeezing (LIGO)
+```
+
+**Quantum Error Correction**: Protect quantum states from decoherence:
+- Repetition codes for phase noise
+- Surface codes for general errors
+- Overhead: ~1000 physical qubits per logical qubit (current)
+
+---
+
+## 4. Rydberg Atom RF Sensors — Deep Dive
+
+### 4.1 Broadband RF Detection via EIT
+
+Rydberg atoms provide the most promising near-term quantum RF sensor for topological
+sensing because:
+
+1. **Room temperature operation** — no cryogenics
+2. **Broadband** — single vapor cell covers MHz to THz by tuning laser wavelength
+3. **Self-calibrated** — response depends only on atomic constants
+4. **Compact** — vapor cell can be cm-scale
+
+```
+Rydberg Sensor Architecture:
+
+    ┌─────────────────────────────┐
+    │     Cesium Vapor Cell       │
+    │                             │
+    │  Probe (852nm) ───────→     │──→ Photodetector
+    │  Coupling (509nm) ───→     │
+    │                             │
+    │     ↕ RF field enters       │
+    └─────────────────────────────┘
+
+    Frequency tuning:
+    n=30: ~300 GHz transitions
+    n=50: ~50 GHz transitions
+    n=70: ~10 GHz transitions (WiFi band!)
+    n=100: ~1 GHz transitions
+```
+
+### 4.2 Sensitivity at WiFi Frequencies
+
+For 2.4 GHz detection using Rydberg states near n=70:
+
+```
+Transition dipole moment:
+    μ = n² × e × a₀ ≈ 70² × 1.6e-19 × 5.3e-11
+    μ ≈ 4.1 × 10⁻²⁶ C·m
+
+Minimum detectable field:
+    E_min = ℏ × Γ / (2μ)
+    where Γ = EIT linewidth ≈ 1 MHz
+
+    E_min ≈ 1.05e-34 × 2π × 1e6 / (2 × 4.1e-26)
+    E_min ≈ 8 µV/m
+
+    Compare to ESP32 sensitivity: ~1 mV/m
+    Quantum advantage: ~125× in field sensitivity
+```
+
+### 4.3 NIST and Army Research Lab Advances
+
+Key milestones in Rydberg RF sensing:
+- **2012**: First demonstration of Rydberg EIT for RF measurement (Sedlacek et al.)
+- **2018**: Broadband electric field sensing 1-500 GHz (Holloway et al., NIST)
+- **2020**: Rydberg atom receiver for AM/FM radio signals
+- **2022**: Multi-band simultaneous detection using multiple Rydberg transitions
+- **2024**: Chip-scale vapor cells with integrated photonics
+- **2025**: Field demonstrations of Rydberg receivers for communications
+
+### 4.4 Integration with ESP32 Mesh
+
+```
+Hybrid Rydberg-ESP32 Architecture:
+
+    Classical Layer (ESP32 mesh):
+    ┌────┐    ┌────┐    ┌────┐
+    │ESP1│────│ESP2│────│ESP3│     120 classical edges
+    └────┘    └────┘    └────┘     CSI coherence weights
+       │         │         │
+       │    ┌────┴────┐    │
+       └────│Rydberg  │────┘      Quantum sensor node
+            │ Sensor  │           High-sensitivity edges
+            └─────────┘
+
+    The Rydberg sensor provides:
+    1. Ultra-sensitive reference measurements
+    2. Ground truth calibration for classical edges
+    3. Detection of sub-threshold perturbations
+    4. Phase reference for coherence estimation
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Quantum Illumination for Object Detection
+
+### 5.1 Lloyd's Quantum Illumination Protocol
+
+Quantum illumination uses entangled photon pairs to detect objects in noisy environments:
+
+```
+Protocol:
+    1. Generate entangled signal-idler pair: |Ψ⟩ = Σ cₙ|n⟩_S|n⟩_I
+    2. Send signal photon toward target, keep idler
+    3. Collect reflected signal (buried in thermal noise)
+    4. Joint measurement on returned signal + stored idler
+
+    Classical detection: SNR = N_S / N_B
+    Quantum detection:   SNR = N_S × (N_B + 1) / N_B
+
+    Advantage: 6 dB in error exponent (factor of 4)
+
+    Critical: Advantage persists even when entanglement is destroyed
+    by the noisy channel (unlike most quantum protocols)
+```
+
+### 5.2 Microwave Quantum Illumination
+
+For RF topological sensing at 2.4 GHz:
+
+```
+Microwave entangled source:
+    Josephson Parametric Amplifier (JPA)
+    → Generates entangled microwave-microwave pairs
+    → Or microwave-optical pairs (for optical idler storage)
+
+    Challenge: thermal photon number at 2.4 GHz, 300K:
+    n_th = 1/(exp(hf/kT) - 1) = 1/(exp(4.8e-5) - 1) ≈ 2600
+
+    Background: ~2600 thermal photons per mode
+    → Classical detection hopeless for single-photon signals
+    → Quantum illumination still provides 6 dB advantage
+```
+
+### 5.3 Application to RF Topology
+
+Quantum illumination could enhance RF topological sensing by:
+- Detecting very weak reflections from small objects
+- Operating in high-noise environments (industrial, urban)
+- Distinguishing target-reflected signals from multipath clutter
+- Providing phase-coherent measurements for graph edge weights
+
+---
+
+## 6. Quantum Graph Theory
+
+### 6.1 Quantum Walks on Graphs
+
+Quantum walks are the quantum analog of random walks, with superposition and interference:
+
+```
+Continuous-time quantum walk on graph G:
+    |ψ(t)⟩ = e^{-iHt} |ψ(0)⟩
+    where H = adjacency matrix A or Laplacian L
+
+    Key property: Quantum walk spreads quadratically faster
+    Classical: ⟨x²⟩ ~ t     (diffusive)
+    Quantum:   ⟨x²⟩ ~ t²    (ballistic)
+
+    For graph topology detection:
+    - Walk dynamics encode graph structure
+    - Interference patterns reveal symmetries
+    - Hitting times indicate connectivity
+```
+
+### 6.2 Quantum Minimum Cut
+
+**Grover-accelerated graph search**:
+```
+Classical min-cut (Stoer-Wagner): O(VE + V² log V)
+For V=16, E=120: ~4,000 operations
+
+Quantum search for min-cut:
+    Use Grover's algorithm to search over cuts
+    Number of possible cuts: 2^V = 2^16 = 65,536
+
+    Classical brute force: O(2^V) = 65,536 evaluations
+    Quantum (Grover):     O(√(2^V)) = 256 evaluations
+
+    Quadratic speedup for brute-force approach
+
+    However: For V=16, Stoer-Wagner (4,000 ops) beats Grover (256 oracle calls)
+    because each oracle call has overhead
+
+    Quantum advantage threshold: V > ~100 nodes
+```
+
+**Quantum spectral analysis**:
+```
+Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) for graph Laplacian:
+    Input: L = D - A (graph Laplacian)
+    Output: eigenvalues λ₁ ≤ λ₂ ≤ ... ≤ λ_V
+
+    Fiedler value λ₂ → algebraic connectivity
+    Cheeger inequality: λ₂/2 ≤ h(G) ≤ √(2λ₂)
+    where h(G) = min-cut / min-volume (Cheeger constant)
+
+    QPE complexity: O(poly(log V)) per eigenvalue
+    Classical: O(V³) for full eigendecomposition
+
+    Quantum advantage for spectral analysis: exponential
+    for V >> 100
+```
+
+### 6.3 Quantum Graph Partitioning
+
+```
+Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) for normalized cut:
+
+    Minimize: NCut = cut(A,B) × (1/vol(A) + 1/vol(B))
+
+    Encode as QUBO:
+    min x^T Q x    where x ∈ {0,1}^V
+    Q_ij = -w_ij + d_i × δ_ij × balance_penalty
+
+    Map to Ising Hamiltonian:
+    H = Σ_ij J_ij σ_i^z σ_j^z + Σ_i h_i σ_i^z
+
+    Solve with:
+    - VQE (gate-based): variational ansatz circuit
+    - QAOA: alternating cost/mixer unitaries
+    - Quantum annealing (D-Wave): native QUBO solver

+## 7. Hybrid Classical-Quantum RF Sensing Architecture
+
+### 7.1 Where Quantum Advantage Matters
+
+Not every edge in the RF sensing graph benefits from quantum sensing. The advantage
+is concentrated in specific scenarios:
+
+| Scenario | Classical | Quantum | Benefit |
+|----------|-----------|---------|---------|
+| Strong LOS links | Adequate | Overkill | None |
+| Weak NLOS links | Noisy/lost | Detectable | Enables new edges |
+| Sub-threshold perturbations | Invisible | Detectable | Breathing, heartbeat |
+| Phase coherence measurement | Clock-limited | Fundamental | Better edge weights |
+| Multi-target disambiguation | Ambiguous | Resolvable | More accurate cuts |
+
+### 7.2 Hybrid Architecture
+
+```
+Three-Tier Hybrid Sensing:
+
+Tier 1: ESP32 Classical Mesh (16 nodes, $80 total)

+│  Person-scale detection              │
+└──────────────┬──────────────────────┘
+               │
+Tier 2: NV Diamond Enhancement (4 nodes, ~$20K)
+┌──────────────┴──────────────────────┐
+│  pT-level magnetic field sensing     │
+│  Room-temperature operation          │
+│  Complements RF with B-field edges   │
+│  Breathing/heartbeat detection       │
+└──────────────┬──────────────────────┘
+               │
+Tier 3: Rydberg Reference (1 node, ~$50K)
+┌──────────────┴──────────────────────┐
+│  µV/m electric field sensitivity     │
+│  Self-calibrated SI-traceable        │
+│  Ground truth for classical edges    │
+│  Sub-threshold perturbation detect   │
+└─────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+Graph construction:
+    G_hybrid = G_classical ∪ G_magnetic ∪ G_quantum
+
+    Edge weight fusion:
+    w_ij = α × w_classical + β × w_magnetic + γ × w_quantum
+    where α + β + γ = 1, learned per-edge
+```
+
+### 7.3 Quantum-Enhanced Edge Weight Computation
+
+```
+Classical edge weight (ESP32):
+    w_ij = coherence(CSI_i→j)
+    Noise floor: ~-90 dBm
+    Phase noise: ~5° RMS (clock drift limited)
+
+Quantum-enhanced edge weight:
+    w_ij = f(CSI_ij, B_field_ij, E_field_ij)
+
+    NV contribution:
+    - Local magnetic field map at pT resolution
+    - Detects metallic object perturbations
+    - Measures eddy current signatures
+
+    Rydberg contribution:
+    - Electric field at µV/m resolution
+    - Phase-accurate reference measurement
+    - Calibrates classical CSI phase errors
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Quantum Coherence for RF Field Mapping
+
+### 8.1 Decoherence as Environmental Sensor
+
+Quantum sensors naturally measure their environment through decoherence:
+
+```
+NV Center Decoherence:
+    T₁ (spin-lattice relaxation): ~6 ms at 300K
+    T₂ (spin-spin dephasing):     ~1 ms at 300K
+    T₂* (inhomogeneous):          ~1 µs
+
+    Environmental perturbation → T₂* change
+
+    Sensitivity:
+    ΔB_min = (1/γ) × 1/(T₂* × √(η × T_meas))
+
+    where η = photon collection efficiency
+          T_meas = measurement time
+
+    At η=0.1, T_meas=1s:
+    ΔB_min ≈ 1 pT
+```
+
+The key insight: **decoherence signatures encode environmental structure**. Different
+objects and materials produce different decoherence profiles:
+
+| Object | Decoherence Mechanism | Signature |
+|--------|----------------------|-----------|
+| Metal | Eddy currents, Johnson noise | T₂* reduction, broadband |
+| Human body | Ionic currents, diamagnetism | T₁ modulation, low-freq |
+| Water | Diamagnetic susceptibility | Subtle T₂ shift |
+| Electronics | EM emission | Discrete frequency peaks |
+
+### 8.2 Quantum Fisher Information for Optimal Placement
+
+```
+Quantum Fisher Information (QFI):
+    F_Q(θ) = 4(⟨∂_θψ|∂_θψ⟩ - |⟨ψ|∂_θψ⟩|²)
+
+    Quantum Cramér-Rao Bound:
+    Var(θ̂) ≥ 1/(N × F_Q(θ))
+
+    For sensor placement optimization:
+    - Compute F_Q at each candidate position
+    - Place quantum sensors where F_Q is maximized
+    - Typically: room center, doorways, narrow passages
+
+    Optimal placement for V=16 classical + 4 quantum:
+    ┌─────────────────────────┐
+    │ E   E   E   E   E   E  │   E = ESP32 (perimeter)
+    │                         │
+    │ E       Q       Q   E  │   Q = Quantum sensor
+    │                         │       (high-FI positions)
+    │ E       Q       Q   E  │
+    │                         │

+
+## 9. Quantum Machine Learning for RF
+
+### 9.1 Variational Quantum Circuits for Graph Classification
+
+```
+Quantum Graph Neural Network:
+
+    Input: Edge weights w_ij from RF sensing graph
+
+    Encoding: Amplitude encoding of adjacency matrix
+    |ψ_G⟩ = Σ_ij w_ij |i⟩|j⟩ / ||w||
+
+    Variational circuit:
+    U(θ) = Π_l [U_entangle × U_rotation(θ_l)]
+
+    U_rotation: R_y(θ₁) ⊗ R_y(θ₂) ⊗ ... ⊗ R_y(θ_V)
+    U_entangle: CNOT cascade matching graph topology
+
+    Measurement: ⟨Z₁⟩ → occupancy classification
+
+    Training: Minimize L = Σ (y - ⟨Z₁⟩)² via parameter-shift rule
+
+    For V=16: Requires 16 qubits + ~100 variational parameters
+    → Within reach of current NISQ devices (IBM Eagle: 127 qubits)
+```
+
+### 9.2 Quantum Kernel Methods
+
+```
+Quantum kernel for CSI feature space:
+
+    Encode CSI vector x into quantum state: |φ(x)⟩ = U(x)|0⟩
+
+    Kernel: K(x, x') = |⟨φ(x)|φ(x')⟩|²
+
+    Properties:
+    - Maps to exponentially large Hilbert space
+    - Can capture correlations classical kernels miss
+    - Computed on quantum hardware, used in classical SVM/GP
+
+    For edge classification (stable/unstable/transitioning):
+    - Encode temporal CSI window as quantum state
+    - Quantum kernel captures phase correlations
+    - Classical SVM classifies using quantum kernel values
+```
+
+### 9.3 Quantum Reservoir Computing
+
+```
+Quantum Reservoir for Temporal RF Patterns:
+
+    RF Signal → Quantum System → Measurement → Classical Readout
+
+    Reservoir: N coupled qubits with natural dynamics
+    H_res = Σ_i h_i σ_i^z + Σ_ij J_ij σ_i^z σ_j^z + Σ_i Ω_i σ_i^x
+
+    Input: CSI values modulate h_i (local fields)
+    Dynamics: ρ(t+1) = U × ρ(t) × U† + noise
+    Output: Measure ⟨σ_i^z⟩ for all qubits → feature vector
+
+    Advantages for temporal RF sensing:
+    - Natural temporal memory (quantum coherence)
+    - No training of reservoir (only readout layer)
+    - Captures non-linear temporal correlations
+    - Matches temporal graph evolution naturally
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. Near-Term NISQ Applications
+
+### 10.1 Quantum Annealing for Graph Cuts (D-Wave)
+
+```
+Min-cut as QUBO on D-Wave:
+
+    Variables: x_i ∈ {0,1} (node partition assignment)
+
+    Objective: minimize Σ_ij w_ij × x_i × (1-x_j)
+
+    QUBO matrix:
+    Q_ij = -w_ij (off-diagonal)
+    Q_ii = Σ_j w_ij (diagonal)
+
+    D-Wave Advantage2: 7,000+ qubits
+    → Can handle graphs up to ~3,500 nodes
+    → Our V=16 graph trivially fits
+
+    Practical consideration:
+    - Cloud API access: ~$2K/month
+    - Annealing time: ~20 µs per sample
+    - 1000 samples for statistics: ~20 ms
+    - Compatible with 20 Hz update rate
+
+    Multi-cut extension (k-way):
+    Use k binary variables per node
+    → 16 × k = 48 qubits for 3-person detection
+```
+
+### 10.2 VQE for Spectral Graph Analysis
+
+```
+Variational Quantum Eigensolver for Laplacian spectrum:
+
+    Goal: Find smallest eigenvalues of L = D - A
+
+    Ansatz: |ψ(θ)⟩ = U(θ)|0⟩^⊗n
+
+    Cost: E(θ) = ⟨ψ(θ)|L|ψ(θ)⟩
+
+    Optimization: θ* = argmin E(θ) via classical optimizer
+
+    For Fiedler value (λ₂):
+    1. Find ground state |v₁⟩ (constant vector, known)
+    2. Constrain ⟨v₁|ψ⟩ = 0
+    3. Minimize in orthogonal subspace → λ₂
+
+    Application: Track λ₂ over time
+    - λ₂ large → graph well-connected → no obstruction
+    - λ₂ drops → graph nearly disconnected → boundary detected
+    - Rate of λ₂ change → speed of perturbation
+```
+
+### 10.3 QAOA for Balanced Partitioning
+
+```
+Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm:
+
+    Cost Hamiltonian: H_C = Σ_ij w_ij (1 - Z_i Z_j) / 2
+    Mixer Hamiltonian: H_M = Σ_i X_i
+
+    p-layer circuit:
+    |ψ(γ,β)⟩ = Π_l [e^{-iβ_l H_M} × e^{-iγ_l H_C}] |+⟩^⊗n
+
+    For p=1: Guaranteed approximation ratio r ≥ 0.6924 for MaxCut
+    For p=3-5: Near-optimal for small graphs
+
+    Our V=16 graph: 16 qubits, p=3 → 96 parameters
+    → Trainable on current hardware
+    → Could provide better-than-classical cuts in some cases

+## 13. Open Questions and Future Directions
+
+### 13.1 Fundamental Questions
+
+1. **Quantum advantage threshold**: At what graph size does quantum mincut outperform
+   classical? Preliminary analysis suggests V > 100, but constant factors matter.
+
+2. **Decoherence as feature**: Can quantum decoherence rates serve as edge weights
+   directly, bypassing classical CSI entirely?
+
+3. **Entanglement distribution**: Can entangled sensor pairs provide correlated
+   edge weights with fundamentally lower uncertainty?
+
+4. **Quantum memory for temporal graphs**: Can quantum memory store graph evolution
+   states more efficiently than classical RuVector?
+
+### 13.2 Engineering Questions
+
+5. **Noise budget**: In a real room with WiFi, Bluetooth, and power line interference,
+   what is the practical quantum advantage?
+
+6. **Calibration**: How often do quantum sensors need recalibration in field deployment?
+
+7. **Cost trajectory**: When will quantum sensor nodes reach $100/unit for mass deployment?
+
+8. **Hybrid optimization**: What is the optimal ratio of classical to quantum nodes
+   for a given room size and detection requirement?
+
+### 13.3 Application Questions
+

+   resolution bound, or only improve SNR within the same Fresnel-limited resolution?
+
+10. **Multi-room scaling**: Can quantum entanglement between rooms provide correlated
+    sensing that classical links cannot?

+## 15. Summary
+
+Quantum sensing represents a paradigm shift for RF topological sensing. While the classical
+ESP32 mesh provides adequate sensitivity for person-scale detection, quantum sensors enable:
+
+1. **100-1000× sensitivity improvement** for subtle perturbations
+2. **New sensing modalities** (magnetic fields, electric fields) complementing RF
+3. **Self-calibrated measurements** via Rydberg atom standards
+4. **Quantum-accelerated graph algorithms** for larger meshes
+5. **Decoherence-based environmental sensing** as a fundamentally new edge weight source
+
+The most practical near-term integration path uses NV diamond sensors (room temperature,
+pT sensitivity) as enhancement nodes within the classical ESP32 mesh, with Rydberg sensors
+providing calibration references. Quantum computing (D-Wave, NISQ) offers immediate
+value for graph cut optimization at scale.
+
+The long-term vision is a quantum-native sensing mesh where every node performs quantum
+measurements, edge weights encode quantum coherence between nodes, and graph algorithms
+run on quantum hardware — a true quantum radio nervous system.

+## 1. Introduction
+
+Neurons communicate through ionic currents. Those currents generate magnetic fields — tiny
+ones, measured in femtotesla (10⁻¹⁵ T). For context, Earth's magnetic field is approximately
+50 μT, roughly 10¹⁰ times stronger than the magnetic signature of a single cortical column.
+
+Detecting these fields has historically required SQUID magnetometers operating at 4 Kelvin
+inside massive liquid helium dewars. This technology, while sensitive (3–5 fT/√Hz), is
+expensive ($2–5M per system), immobile, and impractical for wearable or portable applications.
+
+Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond offer a fundamentally different approach. These
+atomic-scale defects in diamond crystal lattice can detect magnetic fields at femtotesla
+sensitivity while operating at room temperature. They can be miniaturized to chip scale,
+fabricated in dense arrays, and integrated with standard electronics.
+
+For the RuVector + dynamic mincut brain analysis architecture, NV diamond magnetometers
+represent the medium-term sensor technology that could enable portable, affordable,
+high-spatial-resolution neural topology measurement.
+

+
+## 2. NV Center Physics
+
+### 2.1 Crystal Structure and Defect Properties
+
+Diamond has a face-centered cubic crystal lattice of carbon atoms. An NV center forms when:
+1. A nitrogen atom substitutes for one carbon atom
+2. An adjacent lattice site is vacant (missing carbon)
+
+The resulting NV⁻ (negatively charged) defect has remarkable quantum properties:
+- Electronic spin triplet ground state (³A₂) with S = 1
+- Spin sublevels: mₛ = 0 and mₛ = ±1, split by 2.87 GHz at zero field
+- Optically addressable: 532 nm green laser excites, red fluorescence (637–800 nm) reads out
+- Spin-dependent fluorescence: mₛ = 0 is brighter than mₛ = ±1
+
+This spin-dependent fluorescence is the key to magnetometry: magnetic fields shift the
+energy of the mₛ = ±1 states (Zeeman effect), which is detected as a change in
+fluorescence intensity when microwaves are swept through resonance.
+
+### 2.2 Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR)
+
+The measurement protocol:
+
+1. **Optical initialization**: Green laser (532 nm) pumps NV into mₛ = 0 ground state
+2. **Microwave interrogation**: Sweep microwave frequency around 2.87 GHz
+3. **Optical readout**: Monitor red fluorescence intensity
+4. **Resonance detection**: Fluorescence dips at frequencies corresponding to mₛ = ±1
+
+The resonance frequency shifts with external magnetic field B:
+
+```
+f± = D ± γₑB
+```
+
+Where:
+- D = 2.87 GHz (zero-field splitting)
+- γₑ = 28 GHz/T (electron gyromagnetic ratio)
+- B = external magnetic field component along NV axis
+
+For a 1 fT field: Δf = 28 × 10⁻¹⁵ GHz = 28 μHz — extraordinarily small, requiring
+long integration times or ensemble measurements.
+
+### 2.3 Sensitivity Fundamentals
+
+**Single NV center**: Limited by photon shot noise
+```
+η_single ≈ (ℏ/gₑμ_B) × (1/√(C² × R × T₂*))
+```
+Where C is ODMR contrast (~0.03), R is photon count rate (~10⁵/s), T₂* is inhomogeneous
+dephasing time (~1 μs in bulk diamond).
+
+Typical single NV sensitivity: ~1 μT/√Hz — insufficient for neural signals.
+
+**NV ensemble**: N centers improve sensitivity by √N
+```
+η_ensemble = η_single / √N
+```
+
+For N = 10¹² NV centers in a 100 μm × 100 μm × 10 μm sensing volume:
+η_ensemble ≈ 1 pT/√Hz
+
+**State of the art (2025–2026)**: Laboratory demonstrations have achieved:
+- 1–10 fT/√Hz using large diamond chips with optimized NV density
+- Sub-pT/√Hz using advanced dynamical decoupling sequences
+- ~100 aT/√Hz projected with quantum-enhanced protocols (squeezed states)
+
+### 2.4 Dynamical Decoupling for Neural Frequency Bands
+
+Neural signals occupy specific frequency bands. Pulsed measurement protocols can be tuned
+to these bands:
+
+| Protocol | Sensitivity Band | Application |
+|----------|-----------------|-------------|
+| Ramsey interferometry | DC–10 Hz | Infraslow oscillations |
+| Hahn echo | 10–100 Hz | Alpha, beta rhythms |
+| CPMG (N pulses) | f = N/(2τ) | Tunable narrowband |
+| XY-8 sequence | Narrowband, robust | Specific frequency targeting |
+| KDD (Knill DD) | Broadband | General neural activity |
+
+**CPMG for alpha rhythm detection (10 Hz)**:
+- Set interpulse spacing τ = 1/(2 × 10 Hz) = 50 ms
+- N = 100 pulses → total sensing time = 5 s
+- Achieved sensitivity: ~10 fT/√Hz in laboratory conditions
+
+### 2.5 T₁ and T₂ Relaxation Times
+
+| Parameter | Bulk Diamond | Thin Film | Nanodiamonds |
+|-----------|-------------|-----------|--------------|
+| T₁ (spin-lattice) | ~6 ms | ~1 ms | ~10 μs |
+| T₂ (spin-spin) | ~1.8 ms | ~100 μs | ~1 μs |
+| T₂* (inhomogeneous) | ~10 μs | ~1 μs | ~100 ns |
+
+Longer T₂ enables better sensitivity. Electronic-grade CVD diamond with low nitrogen
+concentration ([N] < 1 ppb) achieves the best T₂ values.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Neural Magnetic Field Sources
+
+### 3.1 Origins of Neural Magnetic Fields
+
+Neurons generate magnetic fields through two mechanisms:
+
+1. **Intracellular currents**: Ionic flow (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺) along axons and dendrites during
+   action potentials and synaptic activity. These are the primary sources measured by MEG.
+
+2. **Transmembrane currents**: Ionic currents crossing the cell membrane during depolarization
+   and repolarization. Generate weaker, more localized fields.
+
+The magnetic field from a current dipole at distance r:
+
+```
+B(r) = (μ₀/4π) × (Q × r̂)/(r²)
+```
+
+Where Q is the current dipole moment (A·m) and μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ T·m/A.
+
+### 3.2 Signal Magnitudes
+
+| Source | Current Dipole | Field at Scalp | Field at 6mm |
+|--------|---------------|----------------|--------------|
+| Single neuron | ~0.02 pA·m | ~0.01 fT | ~0.1 fT |
+| Cortical column (~10⁴ neurons) | ~10 nA·m | ~10–100 fT | ~50–500 fT |
+| Evoked response (~10⁶ neurons) | ~10 μA·m | ~50–200 fT | ~200–1000 fT |
+| Epileptic spike | ~100 μA·m | ~500–5000 fT | ~2000–20000 fT |
+| Alpha rhythm | ~20 μA·m | ~50–200 fT | ~200–800 fT |
+
+**Key insight for NV sensors**: At 6mm standoff (close proximity, like OPM), signals are
+3–5× stronger than at scalp surface measurements typical of SQUID MEG (20–30mm gap).
+NV arrays mounted directly on the scalp benefit from this proximity gain.
+
+### 3.3 Frequency Bands
+
+| Band | Frequency | Typical Amplitude (scalp) | Neural Correlate |
+|------|-----------|--------------------------|------------------|
+| Delta | 1–4 Hz | 50–200 fT | Deep sleep, pathology |
+| Theta | 4–8 Hz | 30–100 fT | Memory, navigation |
+| Alpha | 8–13 Hz | 50–200 fT | Inhibition, idling |
+| Beta | 13–30 Hz | 20–80 fT | Motor planning, attention |
+| Gamma | 30–100 Hz | 10–50 fT | Perception, binding |
+| High-gamma | >100 Hz | 5–20 fT | Local cortical processing |
+
+**Sensitivity requirement**: To detect all bands, the sensor needs ~5–10 fT/√Hz sensitivity
+in the 1–200 Hz range. Current NV ensembles are approaching this in laboratory conditions.
+
+### 3.4 Why Magnetic Fields Are Better Than Electric Fields for Topology
+
+EEG measures electric potentials at the scalp. The skull acts as a volume conductor that
+severely smears the spatial distribution, limiting source localization to ~10–20 mm.
+
+Magnetic fields pass through the skull nearly unattenuated (skull has permeability μ ≈ μ₀).
+This preserves spatial information, enabling source localization to ~2–5 mm with dense
+sensor arrays.
+
+For brain network topology analysis, this spatial resolution difference is critical:
+- At 20 mm resolution (EEG): can distinguish ~20 brain regions
+- At 3–5 mm resolution (NV/OPM): can distinguish ~100–400 brain regions
+- More regions = more detailed connectivity graph = more precise mincut analysis
+
+---
+
+## 4. Sensor Architecture for Neural Imaging
+
+### 4.1 Single NV vs Ensemble NV
+
+| Configuration | Sensitivity | Spatial Resolution | Use Case |
+|--------------|-------------|-------------------|----------|
+| Single NV | ~1 μT/√Hz | ~10 nm | Nanoscale imaging (not neural) |
+| Small ensemble (10⁶) | ~1 nT/√Hz | ~1 μm | Cellular-scale |
+| Large ensemble (10¹²) | ~1 pT/√Hz | ~100 μm | Neural macroscale |
+| Optimized ensemble | ~1–10 fT/√Hz | ~1 mm | Neural imaging (target) |
+
+For brain topology analysis, large ensemble sensors with ~1 mm spatial resolution are the
+correct target. Single-NV experiments are scientifically interesting but irrelevant for
+whole-brain network monitoring.
+
+### 4.2 Diamond Chip Fabrication
+
+**CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) Growth**:
+1. Start with high-purity diamond substrate (Element Six, Applied Diamond)
+2. Grow epitaxial diamond layer with controlled nitrogen incorporation
+3. Target NV density: 10¹⁶–10¹⁷ cm⁻³ (balance sensitivity vs T₂)
+4. Irradiate with electrons or protons to create vacancies
+5. Anneal at 800–1200°C to mobilize vacancies to nitrogen sites
+6. Surface treatment to stabilize NV⁻ charge state
+
+**Chip dimensions**: Typical sensing element: 2×2×0.5 mm diamond chip
+**Array fabrication**: Multiple chips mounted on flexible PCB for conformal sensor arrays

+
+**Power budget per sensor**: Laser ~100 mW, microwave ~10 mW, electronics ~50 mW
+**Total**: ~160 mW per sensing element
+
+### 4.4 Gradiometer Configurations
+
+Environmental magnetic noise (urban: ~100 nT fluctuations) is 10⁸× larger than neural
+signals. Noise rejection is essential.
+
+**First-order gradiometer**: Two NV sensors separated by ~5 cm
+```
+Signal = Sensor_near - Sensor_far
+```
+Rejects uniform background fields. Retains neural signals (which have steep spatial gradient).
+
+**Second-order gradiometer**: Three sensors in line
+```
+Signal = Sensor_near - 2×Sensor_mid + Sensor_far
+```
+Rejects uniform fields AND linear gradients.
+
+**Synthetic gradiometry**: Software-based, using reference sensors away from the head.
+More flexible than hardware gradiometers.
+
+### 4.5 Array Configurations
+
+**Linear array**: 8–16 sensors along a line. Good for slice imaging.
+**2D planar array**: 8×8 = 64 sensors on flat surface. Good for one brain region.
+**Helmet conformal**: 64–256 sensors on 3D-printed helmet. Full-head coverage.
+
+For topology analysis, helmet conformal arrays are required to simultaneously measure
+all brain regions.
+

+
+## 5. Comparison with Traditional SQUID MEG
+
+### 5.1 Head-to-Head Comparison
+
+| Parameter | SQUID MEG | NV Diamond (Current) | NV Diamond (Projected 2028) |
+|-----------|-----------|---------------------|---------------------------|
+| Sensitivity | 3–5 fT/√Hz | 10–100 fT/√Hz | 1–10 fT/√Hz |
+| Bandwidth | DC–1000 Hz | DC–1000 Hz | DC–1000 Hz |
+| Operating temp | 4 K (liquid He) | 300 K (room temp) | 300 K |
+| Cryogenics | Required ($50K/year He) | None | None |
+| Sensor-scalp gap | 20–30 mm | ~3–6 mm | ~3–6 mm |
+| Spatial resolution | 3–5 mm | 1–3 mm (projected) | 1–3 mm |
+| Channels | 275–306 | 4–64 (current) | 128–256 |
+| System cost | $2–5M | $50–200K (projected) | $20–100K |
+| Portability | Fixed installation | Potentially wearable | Wearable |
+| Maintenance | High (cryogen refills) | Low | Low |
+| Setup time | 30–60 min | <5 min (projected) | <5 min |
+
+### 5.2 Proximity Advantage
+
+The most significant practical advantage of NV sensors: they can be placed directly on the
+scalp. SQUID sensors sit inside a dewar with a ~20–30 mm gap between sensor and scalp.
+
+Magnetic field from a dipole falls as 1/r³. Moving from 25 mm to 6 mm standoff:
+```
+Signal gain = (25/6)³ ≈ 72×
+```
+
+This 72× proximity gain partially compensates for NV's lower intrinsic sensitivity.
+Effective comparison:
+- SQUID at 25 mm: 5 fT/√Hz sensitivity, signal attenuated by distance
+- NV at 6 mm: 50 fT/√Hz sensitivity, but 72× stronger signal
+
+Net SNR comparison: roughly comparable for cortical sources.
+
+### 5.3 Cost Trajectory
+
+| Year | SQUID MEG System | NV Array System (est.) |
+|------|-----------------|----------------------|
+| 2020 | $3M | N/A (lab only) |
+| 2024 | $3.5M | $500K (research prototype) |
+| 2026 | $4M | $200K (multi-channel) |
+| 2028 | $4M+ | $50–100K (clinical prototype) |
+| 2030 | $4M+ | $20–50K (production) |
+
+The cost crossover point is approaching. NV systems will likely be 10–100× cheaper than
+SQUID MEG within 5 years.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Signal Processing Pipeline
+
+### 6.1 Raw ODMR Signal to Magnetic Field
+
+1. **Continuous-wave ODMR**: Sweep microwave frequency, measure fluorescence
+   - Simple but limited bandwidth (~100 Hz)
+   - Sensitivity: ~100 pT/√Hz
+
+2. **Pulsed ODMR (Ramsey)**: Initialize → free precession → readout
+   - Better sensitivity, tunable bandwidth
+   - Sensitivity: ~1 pT/√Hz
+
+3. **Dynamical decoupling (CPMG/XY-8)**: Multiple π-pulses during precession
+   - Narrowband, highest sensitivity
+   - Sensitivity: ~10 fT/√Hz (demonstrated)
+   - Tunable to specific neural frequency bands
+
+### 6.2 Multi-Channel Processing
+
+For a 128-channel NV array:
+- Each channel: continuous magnetic field time series at 1–10 kHz sampling
+- Data rate: 128 × 10 kHz × 32 bit = ~5 MB/s
+- Real-time processing: band-pass filtering, artifact rejection, source localization
+
+### 6.3 Beamforming with NV Arrays
+
+Dense NV arrays enable beamforming (spatial filtering):
+
+```
+Virtual sensor output = Σᵢ wᵢ × sensorᵢ(t)
+```
+
+Where weights wᵢ are computed to maximize sensitivity to a specific brain location while
+suppressing signals from other locations.
+
+**LCMV (Linearly Constrained Minimum Variance) beamformer**:
+```
+w = (C⁻¹ × L) / (L^T × C⁻¹ × L)
+```
+Where C is the data covariance matrix and L is the lead field vector for the target location.
+
+NV's high spatial density enables better beamformer performance than sparse SQUID arrays.
+
+### 6.4 Source Localization
+
+From sensor-space measurements to brain-space current estimates:
+
+1. **Forward model**: Given brain anatomy (from MRI), compute expected sensor measurements
+   for a unit current at each brain location. Stored as lead field matrix L.
+
+2. **Inverse solution**: Given sensor measurements B, estimate brain currents J:
+   ```
+   J = L^T(LL^T + λI)⁻¹B    (minimum-norm estimate)
+   ```
+
+3. **Parcellation**: Map continuous source space to discrete brain regions (68–400 parcels)
+
+4. **Connectivity**: Compute coupling between parcels → graph edges → mincut analysis
+
+---
+
+## 7. Integration with RuVector Architecture

+
+### 7.2 Mapping to Existing RuVector Modules
+
+| RuVector Module | Neural Application |
+|----------------|-------------------|
+| `ruvector-temporal-tensor` | Store sequential brain graph snapshots |
+| `ruvector-mincut` | Compute brain network minimum cut |
+| `ruvector-attn-mincut` | Attention-weighted brain region importance |
+| `ruvector-attention` | Spatial attention across sensor array |
+| `ruvector-solver` | Sparse interpolation for source reconstruction |
+
+### 7.3 Real-Time Processing Budget
+
+| Stage | Latency | Computation |
+|-------|---------|-------------|
+| Sensor readout | 1 ms | Hardware |
+| Preprocessing | 2 ms | FIR filtering (SIMD) |
+| Source localization | 5 ms | Matrix multiply (86×128) |
+| Connectivity (1 band) | 10 ms | Pairwise coherence (86²/2 pairs) |
+| Graph embedding | 3 ms | GNN forward pass |
+| Mincut | 2 ms | Stoer-Wagner on 86 nodes |
+| **Total** | **~23 ms** | **Real-time capable** |
+
+### 7.4 Hybrid WiFi CSI + NV Magnetic Sensing
+
+WiFi CSI provides macro-level body pose and room-scale activity detection.
+NV magnetometers provide neural state information.
+
+**Temporal alignment**: Neural signals (mincut topology changes) precede motor output
+by 200–500 ms. WiFi CSI detects the actual movement. Combining both:
+
+```
+t = -300 ms: NV detects motor cortex network reorganization (mincut change)
+t = -100 ms: NV detects motor command formation (further topology shift)
+t = 0 ms:    WiFi CSI detects actual body movement
+```
+
+This enables **predictive** body tracking: RuView knows the person will move before
+the movement physically occurs.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Real-Time Neural Current Flow Mapping
+
+### 8.1 Current Density Imaging
+
+From magnetic field measurements, reconstruct current density in the brain:
+
+```
+J(r) = -σ∇V(r) + J_p(r)
+```
+
+Where J_p is the primary (neural) current and σ∇V is the volume current.
+
+Minimum-norm current estimation provides a smooth current density map that can be
+updated at each time point, creating a movie of current flow.
+
+### 8.2 Connectivity Graph Construction from Current Flow
+
+For each pair of brain parcels (i, j), compute:
+
+1. **Phase Locking Value**: PLV(i,j) = |⟨exp(jΔφᵢⱼ(t))⟩|
+2. **Coherence**: Coh(i,j,f) = |Sᵢⱼ(f)|² / (Sᵢᵢ(f) × Sⱼⱼ(f))
+3. **Granger causality**: GC(i→j) = ln(var(jₜ|j_past) / var(jₜ|j_past, i_past))
+
+Each metric produces edge weights for the brain connectivity graph.
+
+### 8.3 Temporal Resolution Advantage
+
+| Technology | Time Resolution | Network Changes Visible |
+|-----------|----------------|------------------------|
+| fMRI | 2 seconds | Slow state transitions |
+| EEG | 1 ms | Fast dynamics (poor spatial) |
+| SQUID MEG | 1 ms | Fast dynamics (fixed position) |
+| OPM | 5 ms | Fast dynamics (wearable) |
+| NV Diamond | 1 ms | Fast dynamics (dense array, wearable) |
+
+NV's combination of high temporal resolution AND dense spatial sampling is unique.

+
+## 11. Detection of Subtle Connectivity Changes
+
+### 11.1 Neuroplasticity Tracking
+
+Learning physically changes brain connectivity. NV arrays with sufficient sensitivity
+could track these changes:
+
+- **Motor learning**: Strengthening of motor-cerebellar connections over practice sessions
+- **Language learning**: Reorganization of language network topology
+- **Skill acquisition**: Transition from effortful (distributed) to automated (focal) processing
+
+Mincut signature: as a skill is learned, the task-relevant network becomes more tightly
+integrated (lower internal mincut) and more separated from task-irrelevant networks
+(higher cross-network mincut).
+
+### 11.2 Pathological Connectivity Changes
+
+Early connectivity disruption before clinical symptoms:
+
+| Disease | Connectivity Change | Mincut Signature | Detection Window |
+|---------|-------------------|------------------|-----------------|
+| Alzheimer's | DMN fragmentation | Increasing mc(DMN) | 5–10 years before symptoms |
+| Parkinson's | Motor loop disruption | mc(motor) asymmetry | 3–5 years before symptoms |
+| Epilepsy | Local hypersynchrony | Decreasing mc(focus) | Minutes to hours before seizure |
+| Depression | DMN over-integration | Decreasing mc(DMN) | During episode |
+| Schizophrenia | Global disorganization | Abnormal mc variance | During active phase |
+
+### 11.3 Sensitivity Requirements for Clinical Detection
+
+To detect a 10% change in connectivity (clinically meaningful threshold):
+- Need to resolve edge weight changes of ~10% of baseline
+- Baseline PLV typically 0.2–0.8 between connected regions
+- 10% change: ΔPLV ≈ 0.02–0.08
+- Required sensor SNR: >10 dB in the relevant frequency band
+- Translates to: ~5–10 fT/√Hz sensor sensitivity for cortical sources
+
+This is achievable with projected NV technology within 2–3 years.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Technical Challenges
+
+### 12.1 Standoff Distance
+
+Diamond chips sit on the scalp surface, ~10–15 mm from cortex (scalp tissue + skull).
+Deep brain structures (hippocampus, thalamus, basal ganglia) are 50–80 mm away.
+
+Signal at these distances:
+- Cortex (10 mm): ~50–200 fT → detectable
+- Hippocampus (60 mm): ~0.1–1 fT → at noise floor
+- Brainstem (80 mm): ~0.01–0.1 fT → below detection
+
+**Implication**: NV sensors are primarily cortical topology monitors. Deep structure
+topology requires either invasive sensing or indirect inference from cortical measurements.
+
+### 12.2 Diamond Quality and Reproducibility
+
+NV magnetometry performance depends critically on diamond quality:
+- Nitrogen concentration: needs [N] < 1 ppb for long T₂
+- NV density: balance between signal strength and T₂ degradation
+- Crystal strain: inhomogeneous strain broadens ODMR linewidth
+- Surface termination: affects NV⁻ charge stability
+
+Current production variability: ~2× variation in T₂ between nominally identical chips.
+This needs to improve for standardized multi-channel systems.
+
+### 12.3 Laser Heating
+
+100 mW of green laser per sensor × 128 sensors = 12.8 W total optical power near the head.
+Even with fiber delivery, some heating occurs:
+
+- Fiber-coupled: minimal heating at head (<1°C)
+- Free-space illumination: potentially dangerous without thermal management
+- Safety standard: IEC 62471 limits for skin exposure
+
+**Solution**: Fiber-coupled laser delivery with reflective diamond chip mounting to direct
+waste heat away from scalp.
+
+### 12.4 Bandwidth vs Sensitivity Tradeoff
+
+Dynamical decoupling achieves best sensitivity in narrow frequency bands. Neural signals
+span 1–200 Hz. Options:
+
+1. **Multiplexed measurement**: Rapidly switch between DD sequences tuned to different bands.
+   Reduces effective sensitivity per band by √N_bands.
+
+2. **Broadband measurement**: Use less aggressive DD (shorter sequences). Lower peak
+   sensitivity but covers all bands simultaneously.
+
+3. **Parallel sensors**: Dedicate different sensor subsets to different frequency bands.
+   Requires more sensors but maintains sensitivity in each band.
+
+Option 3 is most compatible with dense NV arrays and neural topology analysis (which
+benefits from simultaneous multi-band measurement).
+
+---
+

+
+---
+
+## 14. Ethical and Safety Framework
+
+### 14.1 Non-Invasive Nature
+
+NV magnetometry is completely non-invasive:
+- No ionizing radiation
+- No strong magnetic fields (unlike MRI)
+- No electrical stimulation
+- Laser power is fiber-coupled, not directly incident on tissue
+- No known biological effects from measurement process
+
+### 14.2 Privacy Considerations
+
+**What NV neural sensors CAN detect**: brain network topology states (focused, relaxed,
+stressed, fatigued), pathological patterns, cognitive load level.
+
+**What they CANNOT detect**: specific thoughts, memories, intentions, private mental content.
+
+The topology-based approach is inherently privacy-preserving: it measures HOW the brain
+is organized, not WHAT it is computing. This is analogous to measuring traffic patterns
+in a city without reading anyone's mail.
+
+### 14.3 Regulatory Classification
+
+- FDA: likely Class II medical device (diagnostic aid) for clinical applications
+- No surgical risk, non-invasive, non-ionizing
+- 510(k) pathway with SQUID-MEG as predicate device
+- Additional pathway for wellness/consumer applications (lower regulatory burden)
+
+---
+
+## 15. Conclusion
+
+NV diamond magnetometers represent the most promising medium-term technology for portable,
+affordable, high-resolution neural magnetic field measurement. While current sensitivity
+(10–100 fT/√Hz) is not yet sufficient for all neural applications, the trajectory toward
+1–10 fT/√Hz within 2–3 years makes NV a credible path to clinical-grade brain topology
+monitoring.
+
+For the RuVector + dynamic mincut architecture, NV sensors offer:
+1. **Dense arrays** enabling detailed connectivity graph construction
+2. **Room-temperature operation** for wearable/portable form factors
+3. **Cost trajectory** enabling wide deployment
+4. **Spatial resolution** sufficient for 100+ brain parcel connectivity analysis
+5. **Temporal resolution** sufficient for real-time topology tracking
+
+The combination of NV sensor arrays with RuVector graph memory and dynamic mincut analysis
+could create the first portable brain network topology observatory — measuring how cognition
+organizes itself in real time, without requiring the $3M SQUID MEG systems that currently
+dominate neuroimaging.

+## Core Concept
+
+RF Topological Sensing treats a room as a dynamic signal graph where ESP32 nodes
+are vertices and TX-RX links are edges weighted by CSI coherence. Instead of
+estimating position, minimum cut detects where the RF field topology changes —
+revealing physical boundaries corresponding to objects, people, and environmental
+shifts. This creates a "radio nervous system" that is structurally aware of space.

+## Abstract
+
+This document surveys transformer architectures applicable to RF topological graph sensing, where a mesh of 16 ESP32 nodes forms a dynamic graph with edges weighted by Channel State Information (CSI) coherence. The primary inference task is mincut prediction — identifying physical boundaries (walls, doors, human bodies) that partition the radio field. We examine graph transformers, temporal graph networks, vision transformers applied to RF spectrograms, transformer-based mincut prediction, positional encoding strategies for RF graphs, foundation model pre-training, and efficient edge deployment. The goal is to identify architectures that can replace or augment combinatorial mincut solvers with learned models capable of real-time inference on resource-constrained hardware.

+
+## 1. Graph Transformers
+
+### 1.1 The Structural Gap Between Sequences and Graphs
+
+Standard transformers operate on sequences where positional encoding captures order. Graphs have no canonical ordering — nodes are permutation-invariant, and structure is encoded in adjacency rather than position. This creates a fundamental tension: the self-attention mechanism in vanilla transformers treats all token pairs equally, ignoring the graph topology that carries critical information in RF sensing.
+
+For RF topological sensing, graph structure IS the signal. An edge between ESP32 nodes 3 and 7 weighted by CSI coherence of 0.92 means the radio path between them is unobstructed. A weight of 0.31 suggests an intervening boundary. The transformer must respect this structure, not flatten it away.
+
+### 1.2 Graphormer
+
+Graphormer (Ying et al., NeurIPS 2021) introduced three structural encodings that inject graph topology into the transformer:
+
+**Centrality Encoding.** Each node receives a learnable embedding based on its in-degree and out-degree. For an RF mesh, this captures how many strong coherence links a node maintains. Corner nodes in a room typically have lower effective degree (fewer high-coherence links) than central nodes.
+
+```
+h_i^(0) = x_i + z_deg+(v_i) + z_deg-(v_i)
+```
+
+Where `z_deg+` and `z_deg-` are learnable vectors indexed by degree. In our 16-node mesh, degree ranges from 0 to 15, requiring at most 16 embedding vectors per direction.
+
+**Spatial Encoding.** The attention bias between nodes i and j depends on their shortest-path distance in the graph. This is added directly to the attention logits:
+
+```
+A_ij = (Q_i * K_j) / sqrt(d) + b_SPD(i,j)
+```
+
+Where `b_SPD(i,j)` is a learnable scalar indexed by the shortest-path distance. For a 16-node graph, the maximum shortest-path distance is 15 (in a chain), though typical RF meshes have diameter 3-5. This encoding forces the transformer to distinguish between directly connected nodes (1-hop neighbors sharing a line-of-sight path) and distant nodes.
+
+**Edge Encoding.** Edge features along the shortest path between two nodes are aggregated into the attention bias. For RF graphs, edge features include CSI amplitude, phase coherence, signal-to-noise ratio, and temporal stability. This is particularly powerful because the shortest path between two nodes often traverses intermediate links whose coherence values reveal intervening geometry.
+
+**Applicability to RF sensing.** Graphormer's all-pairs attention with structural bias is well-suited to our 16-node mesh because N=16 makes O(N^2) attention tractable (256 pairs). The spatial encoding naturally captures the radio topology — nodes separated by many low-coherence hops are likely in different rooms.
+
+**Limitation.** Graphormer was designed for molecular property prediction with static graphs. RF graphs evolve at 10-100 Hz as people move, doors open, and multipath conditions change. The model needs temporal extension.
+
+### 1.3 Spectral Attention Network (SAN)
+
+SAN (Kreuzer et al., NeurIPS 2021) uses the graph Laplacian eigenvectors as positional encodings, then applies full transformer attention. The key insight is that Laplacian eigenvectors provide a canonical coordinate system for graphs analogous to Fourier modes.
+
+For an RF mesh with adjacency matrix W (CSI coherence weights), the normalized Laplacian is:
+
+```
+L = I - D^(-1/2) W D^(-1/2)
+```
+
+The eigenvectors of L with the smallest non-zero eigenvalues capture the low-frequency structure of the graph — precisely the large-scale partitions that correspond to room boundaries. The Fiedler vector (eigenvector of the second-smallest eigenvalue) directly encodes the mincut partition.
+
+SAN computes attention separately over the original graph edges ("sparse attention") and all node pairs ("full attention"), then combines them. This dual mechanism lets the model simultaneously exploit local CSI patterns and global graph structure.
+
+**RF relevance.** The spectral decomposition of the CSI coherence graph is physically meaningful. Low-frequency eigenvectors correspond to room-level partitions. Mid-frequency eigenvectors capture furniture and body positions. High-frequency eigenvectors encode multipath scattering details. SAN's spectral positional encoding gives the transformer direct access to these physically grounded features.
+
+### 1.4 General, Powerful, Scalable (GPS) Framework
+
+GPS (Rampasek et al., NeurIPS 2022) unifies message-passing GNNs and transformers into a single framework. Each layer combines:
+
+1. A local message-passing step (MPNN) operating on graph neighbors
+2. A global self-attention step operating on all node pairs
+3. A positional/structural encoding module
+
+```
+h_i^(l+1) = MLP( h_i^(l) + MPNN(h_i^(l), {h_j : j in N(i)}) + Attn(h_i^(l), {h_j : j in V}) )
+```
+
+This is particularly relevant for RF sensing because:
+
+- **Local MPNN** captures immediate CSI relationships (direct link coherence, adjacent-link patterns)
+- **Global attention** captures long-range dependencies (a person blocking one link affects coherence patterns across the entire mesh)
+- **Positional encoding** can be chosen from multiple options (Laplacian, random walk, learned)
+
+For a 16-node mesh, GPS is efficient because both the MPNN (sparse, up to 120 edges for a complete graph) and attention (256 pairs) components are small. The framework's modularity allows systematic ablation of each component's contribution to mincut prediction accuracy.
+
+### 1.5 TokenGT
+
+TokenGT (Kim et al., NeurIPS 2022) takes a radical approach: it represents graphs as pure sequences of tokens (node tokens + edge tokens) and applies a standard transformer without any graph-specific attention modifications.
+
+For each node, TokenGT creates a token from the node features concatenated with a type identifier and orthonormal positional encoding. For each edge, it creates a token from the edge features and the identifiers of its endpoints.
+
+**Token sequence for a 16-node RF mesh:**
+- 16 node tokens (each carrying node features: device ID, antenna configuration, noise floor)
+- Up to 120 edge tokens for a complete graph (each carrying CSI coherence, amplitude, phase, SNR)
+- Total: up to 136 tokens — well within standard transformer capacity
+
+The advantage is simplicity: no custom attention mechanisms, no graph-specific modules. The disadvantage is that all structural information must be learned from the positional encodings and edge tokens rather than being architecturally enforced.
+
+**RF applicability.** TokenGT's approach is attractive for deployment because it uses a vanilla transformer, enabling direct use of optimized inference runtimes (ONNX, TensorRT, CoreML). However, the loss of architectural inductive bias may require more training data to achieve equivalent accuracy.
+
+### 1.6 Comparative Assessment for RF Topological Sensing
+
+| Architecture | Structural Bias | Temporal Support | N=16 Complexity | Deployment Simplicity |
+|-------------|----------------|-----------------|-----------------|----------------------|
+| Graphormer  | Strong (3 encodings) | None (static) | Low (256 pairs) | Moderate |
+| SAN         | Spectral (Laplacian PE) | None (static) | Low | Moderate |
+| GPS         | Hybrid (MPNN + attention) | Extensible | Low | Moderate |
+| TokenGT     | Minimal (learned) | Extensible | Low (136 tokens) | High (vanilla transformer) |
+
+For the RuView 16-node mesh, all four architectures are computationally feasible. The choice depends on whether we prioritize structural inductive bias (Graphormer, SAN) or deployment simplicity (TokenGT).
+
+---
+
+## 2. Temporal Graph Transformers
+
+### 2.1 The Temporal Dimension of RF Graphs
+
+RF topological graphs are inherently dynamic. A person walking through a room changes CSI coherence on multiple links simultaneously. A door opening creates a sudden topology change. Breathing modulates coherence at 0.1-0.5 Hz. The temporal evolution of the graph IS the sensing signal.
+
+Static graph transformers process one snapshot at a time, discarding temporal correlations. Temporal graph transformers explicitly model how graph structure evolves, enabling:
+
+- Detection of transient events (person crossing a link) vs. persistent changes (furniture rearrangement)
+- Velocity estimation from the rate of coherence change across sequential links
+- Prediction of future graph states for proactive sensing
+
+### 2.2 Temporal Graph Networks (TGN)
+
+TGN (Rossi et al., ICML 2020 Workshop) maintains a memory state for each node that is updated upon each interaction (edge event). The architecture has four components:
+
+**Message Function.** When an edge event occurs between nodes i and j at time t (e.g., a CSI coherence measurement), a message is computed:
+
+```
+m_i(t) = msg(s_i(t-), s_j(t-), delta_t, e_ij(t))
+```
+
+Where `s_i(t-)` is node i's memory before the event, `delta_t` is the time since the last event, and `e_ij(t)` is the edge feature (CSI coherence vector).
+
+**Memory Updater.** Node memory is updated via a GRU or LSTM:
+
+```
+s_i(t) = GRU(s_i(t-), m_i(t))
+```
+
+This persistent memory captures the temporal context of each ESP32 node — its recent coherence history, drift patterns, and interaction frequency.
+
+**Embedding Module.** To compute the embedding for node i at time t, TGN aggregates information from temporal neighbors using attention:
+
+```
+z_i(t) = sum_j alpha(s_i, s_j, e_ij, delta_t_ij) * W * s_j(t_j)
+```
+
+The attention weights depend on both node memories and the time elapsed since each neighbor's last update.
+
+**Link Predictor / Graph Classifier.** The embeddings are used for downstream tasks — in our case, predicting which edges will be cut (mincut prediction) or classifying graph topology (room occupancy).
+
+**RF sensing adaptation.** TGN's event-driven architecture maps naturally to CSI measurements, which arrive as discrete edge events (node i measures coherence to node j). The persistent memory per node captures slow-changing context (room geometry, device calibration drift) while the embedding module captures fast dynamics (person movement).
+
+For 16 nodes with measurements at 100 Hz across all 120 links, TGN processes approximately 12,000 edge events per second — feasible for the architecture but requiring careful batching.
+
+### 2.3 Temporal Graph Attention (TGAT)
+
+TGAT (Xu et al., ICLR 2020) introduces time-aware attention using a functional time encoding inspired by Bochner's theorem:
+
+```
+Phi(t) = sqrt(1/d) * [cos(omega_1 * t), sin(omega_1 * t), ..., cos(omega_d * t), sin(omega_d * t)]
+```
+
+This continuous-time encoding allows TGAT to handle irregular sampling — critical for RF sensing where different links may be measured at different rates due to the TDM (Time-Division Multiplexing) protocol on the ESP32 mesh.
+
+The attention mechanism incorporates time explicitly:
+
+```
+alpha_ij(t) = softmax( (W_Q * [h_i || Phi(0)]) * (W_K * [h_j || Phi(t - t_j)])^T )
+```
+
+Where `t - t_j` is the time elapsed since node j's last measurement. Links measured more recently receive higher attention weight, naturally handling the staleness problem in TDM scheduling.
+
+**RF sensing advantage.** The ESP32 TDM protocol means each node pair is measured at different times within the measurement cycle. TGAT's continuous time encoding elegantly handles this non-uniform sampling without requiring interpolation or resampling.
+
+### 2.4 DyRep: Learning Representations over Dynamic Graphs
+
+DyRep (Trivedi et al., ICLR 2019) models graph dynamics as a temporal point process, learning when edges will change (not just how). The intensity function for an edge event between nodes i and j is:
+
+```
+lambda_ij(t) = f(z_i(t), z_j(t), t - t_last)
+```
+
+Where `z_i(t)` is node i's representation at time t and `t_last` is the time of the last event on this edge.
+
+For RF sensing, DyRep's point process formulation captures the physics:
+- A person walking toward a link increases the event intensity (coherence will change)
+- A static environment has low event intensity (coherence is stable)
+- The rate of change carries information about movement speed and direction
+
+DyRep maintains two propagation mechanisms:
+1. **Localized** (association): immediate neighbor updates when a link changes
+2. **Global** (communication): attention-based updates across the entire graph
+
+This dual propagation mirrors the RF sensing reality: a person blocking one link directly affects adjacent links (localized) while also changing the global multipath environment (communication).
+
+### 2.5 Adapting Temporal Graph Transformers for RF Sensing
+
+The key adaptation required for RF topological sensing is bridging the gap between the edge-event paradigm of TGN/TGAT/DyRep and the periodic measurement paradigm of the ESP32 mesh.
+
+**Measurement-as-event mapping.** Each CSI measurement on link (i,j) at time t generates an edge event with features:
+- CSI amplitude vector (56 subcarriers after sparse interpolation)
+- Phase coherence score
+- Signal-to-noise ratio
+- Doppler shift estimate
+- Coherence change magnitude from previous measurement
+
+**Temporal batching.** Rather than processing events one at a time, batch all measurements from a single TDM cycle (approximately 10ms for 16 nodes) and process them as a temporal graph snapshot. This trades strict event ordering for computational efficiency.
+
+**Hybrid architecture recommendation.** Combine TGN's persistent per-node memory with TGAT's continuous time encoding:
+- Node memory captures slow context (room geometry, calibration)
+- Time encoding handles irregular TDM sampling
+- Graph attention operates on the current snapshot with temporal features
+- Mincut prediction head outputs partition probabilities
+
+---
+
+## 3. ViT for RF Spectrograms
+
+### 3.1 CSI-to-Spectrogram Conversion
+
+Channel State Information from a single link is a time series of complex-valued vectors (one complex value per OFDM subcarrier). This naturally maps to a 2D representation:
+
+**Time-Frequency Spectrogram.** For each link (i,j):
+- X-axis: time (measurement index)
+- Y-axis: subcarrier index (frequency)
+- Value: CSI amplitude or phase
+- Dimensions: T timesteps x 56 subcarriers (after sparse interpolation from 114)
+
+**Doppler Spectrogram.** Apply short-time Fourier transform along the time axis for each subcarrier:
+- X-axis: time window center
+- Y-axis: Doppler frequency
+- Value: spectral power
+- This reveals movement velocities — human walking produces 2-6 Hz Doppler, breathing 0.1-0.5 Hz
+
+**Cross-Link Spectrogram.** Stack spectrograms from multiple links:
+- For all 120 links in a 16-node complete graph: a 120 x 56 x T tensor
+- Or reshape to a 2D image: (120*56) x T = 6720 x T
+
+### 3.2 Vision Transformer Architecture for RF
+
+ViT (Dosovitskiy et al., ICLR 2021) divides an image into fixed-size patches and processes them as a sequence of tokens. For RF spectrograms:
+
+**Patch extraction.** A spectrogram of dimensions H x W (e.g., 56 subcarriers x 128 timesteps) is divided into patches of size P x P:
+- P = 8: yields (56/8) x (128/8) = 7 x 16 = 112 patches
+- Each patch captures a local time-frequency region
+
+**Patch embedding.** Each P x P patch is flattened and linearly projected to the transformer dimension d:
+
+```
+z_patch = W_embed * flatten(patch) + b_embed
+```
+
+**Positional encoding.** Learned 2D positional embeddings encode both the frequency position (which subcarriers) and temporal position (which time window) of each patch.
+
+**Transformer encoder.** Standard multi-head self-attention and feed-forward layers process the sequence of patch tokens.
+
+**Classification head.** For mincut prediction, the [CLS] token output is projected to predict which edges belong to the cut set.
+
+### 3.3 Multi-Link ViT
+
+A single link's spectrogram provides limited spatial information. To capture the full RF topology, we need to process spectrograms from all links jointly.
+
+**Approach 1: Channel stacking.** Treat each link's spectrogram as a separate channel of a multi-channel image. With 120 links and 56 subcarriers over 128 timesteps, this creates a 120-channel 56x128 image. Patch extraction operates across all channels simultaneously.
+
+**Approach 2: Token concatenation.** Process each link's spectrogram independently through shared patch extraction and embedding, then concatenate all link tokens into a single sequence. With 112 patches per link and 120 links, this yields 13,440 tokens — too many for standard attention.
+
+**Approach 3: Hierarchical ViT.** Two-stage processing:
+1. **Link-level ViT**: Process each link's spectrogram independently (shared weights), producing one embedding per link (120 embeddings)
+2. **Graph-level transformer**: Process the 120 link embeddings with graph-aware attention (using the RF topology as structural bias)
+
+This hierarchical approach is the most promising because:
+- The link-level ViT captures local time-frequency patterns (Doppler signatures, phase variations)
+- The graph-level transformer captures spatial relationships between links
+- Total token count stays manageable (112 for link-level, 120 for graph-level)
+
+### 3.4 ViT Variants for RF
+
+**DeiT (Data-efficient Image Transformers).** Uses knowledge distillation from a CNN teacher, relevant when training data is limited — a common constraint in RF sensing where labeled datasets require manual annotation of room layouts and occupancy.
+
+**Swin Transformer.** Hierarchical ViT with shifted windows, reducing attention complexity from O(N^2) to O(N). For large spectrograms, Swin's local attention windows align with the locality of time-frequency patterns.
+
+**CvT (Convolutional Vision Transformer).** Replaces linear patch embedding with convolutional tokenization, providing translation equivariance. This is beneficial for Doppler spectrograms where the same movement pattern can appear at different time offsets.
+
+### 3.5 Limitations and Trade-offs
+
+The spectrogram/ViT approach has significant limitations for RF topological sensing:
+
+1. **Loss of graph structure.** Converting CSI to spectrograms discards the explicit graph topology. The spatial relationship between links must be re-learned from data.
+
+2. **Fixed temporal window.** ViT processes a fixed-size spectrogram, requiring a choice of temporal window. Too short misses slow events; too long blurs fast events.
+
+3. **Redundant computation.** In a 16-node mesh, many link spectrograms share similar information due to spatial correlation. A graph-native approach avoids this redundancy.
+
+4. **Complementary value.** Despite these limitations, ViT excels at extracting micro-Doppler signatures and time-frequency patterns that graph transformers may miss. The recommended approach uses ViT as a feature extractor feeding into a graph transformer, combining the strengths of both paradigms.
+

+
+## 4. Transformer-Based Mincut Prediction
+
+### 4.1 Problem Formulation
+
+Given a weighted graph G = (V, E, w) where V is 16 ESP32 nodes, E is up to 120 edges, and w: E -> R+ is CSI coherence, the mincut problem is to find a partition (S, V\S) minimizing:
+
+```
+cut(S, V\S) = sum_{(i,j) in E: i in S, j in V\S} w(i,j)
+```
+
+The exact solution requires O(V^3) max-flow computation (e.g., push-relabel) or O(V * E) augmenting paths. For N=16 and E=120, exact computation takes microseconds — so why use a learned model?
+
+**Reasons for learned mincut prediction:**
+1. **Temporal smoothing.** Exact mincut on noisy CSI measurements is unstable. A learned model can produce temporally smooth partitions.
+2. **Multi-scale partitioning.** The 2nd, 3rd, ..., kth eigenvectors of the Laplacian encode hierarchical partitions. A transformer can learn to output multi-scale partitions jointly.
+3. **Semantic enrichment.** Beyond minimum cut value, a learned model can predict what caused the partition (person, wall, furniture) based on CSI signatures.
+4. **Amortized inference.** For real-time deployment at 100 Hz, a single forward pass through a small transformer may be faster than repeated exact computation, especially when targeting k-way partitions.
+5. **Differentiable pipeline.** A learned mincut module can be trained end-to-end with downstream tasks (pose estimation, occupancy detection) through gradient flow.
+
+### 4.2 MinCutPool as a Foundation
+
+MinCutPool (Bianchi et al., ICML 2020) formulates graph pooling as a continuous relaxation of the mincut problem. The assignment matrix S is learned:
+
+```
+S = softmax(GNN(X, A))
+```
+
+Where S[i,k] is the probability that node i belongs to cluster k. The loss function is:
+
+```
+L_mincut = -Tr(S^T A S) / Tr(S^T D S)   +   ||S^T S / ||S^T S||_F - I/sqrt(K)||_F
+```
+
+The first term minimizes normalized cut. The second term encourages balanced partitions (orthogonality regularization).
+
+**Transformer adaptation.** Replace the GNN in MinCutPool with a graph transformer:
+
+```
+S = softmax(GraphTransformer(X, A))
+```
+
+This leverages the transformer's global attention to capture long-range dependencies in the RF topology that local GNN message passing may miss.
+
+### 4.3 Architecture: MinCut Transformer
+
+We propose a MinCut Transformer architecture for RF topological sensing:
+
+**Input representation.** For each node i:
+- Node features: device configuration, noise floor, antenna pattern (d_node = 32)
+- For each edge (i,j): CSI coherence vector, amplitude statistics, temporal gradient (d_edge = 64)
+
+**Encoder.** GPS-style graph transformer with L=4 layers:
+- Local MPNN: 2-layer GCN on the CSI coherence graph
+- Global attention: multi-head attention with Graphormer-style spatial encoding
+- Hidden dimension: d = 128
+- Heads: 8
+
+**Mincut prediction head.** Two output branches:
+
+Branch 1 — **Partition assignment**:
+```
+S = softmax(MLP(h_nodes))  [16 x K matrix for K-way partition]
+```
+
+Branch 2 — **Cut edge prediction**:
+```
+p_cut(i,j) = sigmoid(MLP([h_i || h_j || e_ij]))  [probability that edge (i,j) is cut]
+```
+
+**Training objective.** Multi-task loss combining:
+1. MinCutPool loss (continuous relaxation of normalized cut)
+2. Binary cross-entropy on cut edge prediction (supervised, from exact mincut labels)
+3. Temporal consistency loss (penalize rapid partition changes between adjacent frames)
+4. Spectral loss (predicted partition should align with Fiedler vector)
+
+### 4.4 Spectral Supervision
+
+A key insight is that the Fiedler vector of the CSI coherence Laplacian provides a strong supervisory signal:
+
+```
+L = D - W
+Lv_2 = lambda_2 * v_2
+```
+
+The sign of v_2 directly encodes the optimal 2-way partition. Training the transformer to predict v_2 (and higher eigenvectors for k-way partitions) provides:
+- Dense supervision (every node gets a continuous target, not just a binary label)
+- Multi-scale targets (each eigenvector encodes a different partition granularity)
+- Physically grounded learning (eigenvectors correspond to room modes of the RF field)
+
+### 4.5 Comparison: Exact vs. Learned Mincut
+
+| Property | Exact (Push-Relabel) | Learned (MinCut Transformer) |
+|----------|---------------------|------------------------------|
+| Accuracy | Optimal | Near-optimal (after training) |
+| Latency (N=16) | ~5 us | ~50 us (forward pass) |
+| Temporal smoothness | None (per-frame) | Built-in (temporal loss) |
+| Multi-scale output | Requires k runs | Single forward pass |
+| Semantic labels | None | Learnable |
+| Differentiable | No | Yes |
+| Noise robustness | Sensitive | Robust (learned denoising) |
+
+For N=16, exact computation is fast enough for real-time use. The value of the learned approach lies in temporal smoothness, multi-scale output, and end-to-end differentiability rather than raw speed.
+

+
+## 5. Positional Encoding for RF Graphs
+
+### 5.1 Why Positional Encoding Matters
+
+Graph transformers without positional encoding treat graphs as sets of nodes, ignoring topology. For RF sensing, topology IS the primary information carrier. Positional encoding injects structural information that enables the transformer to reason about spatial relationships, path connectivity, and partition structure.
+
+### 5.2 Laplacian Eigenvector Positional Encoding (LapPE)
+
+The eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian L provide a spectral coordinate system:
+
+```
+L = U * Lambda * U^T
+PE_i = [u_1(i), u_2(i), ..., u_k(i)]
+```
+
+Where u_j(i) is the i-th component of the j-th eigenvector.
+
+**Sign ambiguity.** Eigenvectors are defined up to sign flip: if v is an eigenvector, so is -v. This creates a 2^k ambiguity for k eigenvectors. Solutions:
+- **SignNet** (Lim et al., ICML 2022): learn a sign-invariant function phi(|v|) + phi(-|v|)
+- **BasisNet**: learn in the span of eigenvectors rather than individual vectors
+- **Random sign augmentation**: flip signs randomly during training
+
+**RF-specific considerations.** For the CSI coherence graph:
+- The first eigenvector (constant) is uninformative
+- The Fiedler vector (2nd eigenvector) directly encodes the primary room partition
+- Eigenvectors 3-5 encode secondary partitions (sub-rooms, corridors)
+- Higher eigenvectors encode local structure (furniture, body positions)
+- Using k=8 eigenvectors captures the practically relevant structural scales for a 16-node mesh
+
+**Computational cost.** Eigendecomposition of a 16x16 matrix is negligible (microseconds). For larger meshes, only the bottom-k eigenvectors are needed, computable via Lanczos iteration in O(k * |E|) time.
+
+### 5.3 Random Walk Positional Encoding (RWPE)
+
+RWPE (Dwivedi et al., JMLR 2023) uses the diagonal of random walk powers as node features:
+
+```
+PE_i = [RW_ii^1, RW_ii^2, ..., RW_ii^k]
+```
+
+Where RW = D^(-1)A is the random walk matrix and RW_ii^t is the probability of returning to node i after t random walk steps.
+
+**Physical interpretation for RF.** In the CSI coherence graph:
+- RW_ii^1 = 0 always (no self-loops in measurement graph)
+- RW_ii^2 captures local connectivity density (high return probability means node i is in a tightly connected cluster, i.e., a single room)
+- RW_ii^t for large t captures global graph structure (convergence rate relates to spectral gap, which relates to how well-separated the rooms are)
+
+**Advantages over LapPE:**
+- No sign ambiguity (diagonal elements are always positive)
+- Computationally cheaper (matrix powers vs. eigendecomposition)
+- Naturally multi-scale (different powers capture different structural scales)
+
+**For 16-node RF mesh:** Use k=16 random walk steps (powers 1 through 16). The return probabilities form a characteristic "fingerprint" for each node's position in the radio topology.
+
+### 5.4 Spatial Encoding (Physical Coordinates)
+
+Unlike many graph learning problems, RF mesh nodes have known physical positions (or positions estimable from CSI). This enables spatial positional encoding:
+
+**Direct coordinate encoding.** If ESP32 nodes have known (x, y, z) coordinates:
+```
+PE_i = MLP([x_i, y_i, z_i])
+```
+
+**Pairwise distance encoding.** For attention between nodes i and j:
+```
+bias_ij = MLP(||pos_i - pos_j||_2)
+```
+
+This injects physical distance into the attention mechanism. Two nodes 1 meter apart with low CSI coherence (suggesting an intervening wall) produce a different attention pattern than two nodes 10 meters apart with the same low coherence (expected signal attenuation).
+
+**Combined encoding.** The most powerful approach combines spectral (LapPE) and spatial (coordinate) encodings:
+```
+PE_i = concat(LapPE_i, RWPE_i, MLP([x_i, y_i, z_i]))
+```
+
+This gives the transformer access to both the topological structure (from spectral encoding) and the physical layout (from spatial encoding).
+
+### 5.5 Relative Positional Encoding
+
+Rather than absolute node positions, relative encodings capture pairwise relationships:
+
+**Graphormer's edge encoding along shortest paths:**
+```
+b_ij = mean(w_e : e in shortest_path(i, j))
+```
+
+For RF graphs, the shortest path in the coherence graph between two distant nodes reveals the "radio corridor" connecting them — the sequence of high-coherence links that radio signals can traverse.
+
+**Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) for graphs.** Adapt RoPE from language models by using spectral coordinates:
+```
+RoPE(q, k, theta) where theta is derived from Laplacian eigenvector differences
+```
+
+This injects relative spectral position into the attention mechanism without modifying the attention computation, maintaining compatibility with efficient attention implementations.
+
+### 5.6 Encoding Comparison for RF Sensing
+
+| Encoding | Sign Invariant | Multi-scale | Physical Grounding | Computational Cost |
+|----------|---------------|-------------|-------------------|-------------------|
+| LapPE | No (needs SignNet) | Yes (eigenvector index) | Strong (spectral = partition) | O(N^3) eigendecomp |
+| RWPE | Yes | Yes (walk length) | Moderate | O(k * N^2) mat-mul |
+| Spatial | N/A | No | Direct (coordinates) | O(N) lookup |
+| Combined | Configurable | Yes | Strong | Sum of components |
+
+**Recommendation for RuView:** Use combined encoding (LapPE with SignNet + RWPE + spatial coordinates). The 16-node mesh makes computational cost irrelevant, and the combined encoding provides the richest structural information for mincut prediction.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Foundation Models for RF
+
+### 6.1 The Case for RF Foundation Models
+
+Current RF sensing models are trained from scratch for each environment, task, and hardware configuration. A foundation model pre-trained on diverse RF environments could:
+
+1. **Transfer across environments.** A model pre-trained on 1000 rooms transfers to a new room with minimal fine-tuning.
+2. **Transfer across tasks.** Pre-train on self-supervised RF features, fine-tune for specific tasks (mincut, pose estimation, occupancy counting).
+3. **Transfer across hardware.** Pre-train on diverse antenna configurations, adapt to specific ESP32 deployments.
+4. **Reduce labeling requirements.** Self-supervised pre-training uses unlabeled CSI data (abundant), with only task-specific fine-tuning requiring labels (scarce).
+
+### 6.2 Pre-training Objectives
+
+**Masked CSI Modeling (MCM).** Analogous to masked language modeling in BERT:
+- Randomly mask 15% of CSI subcarrier values across links
+- Train the transformer to predict masked values from unmasked context
+- This forces the model to learn CSI correlation structure across links, subcarriers, and time
+
+**Contrastive Link Prediction.** For each pair of links:
+- Positive pairs: links that share a node or are in the same room
+- Negative pairs: links in different rooms or with low coherence correlation
+- Contrastive loss pushes similar links together in embedding space
+- This is related to the AETHER contrastive embedding framework (ADR-024)
+
+**Graph-Level Contrastive Learning.** Augment graphs by:
+- Dropping edges below a coherence threshold
+- Adding Gaussian noise to edge weights
+- Subgraph sampling
+- Temporal shifting (comparing t and t+delta)
+- Train the model to produce similar embeddings for augmented versions of the same graph
+
+**Temporal Prediction.** Given CSI graphs at times t-k, ..., t-1, t, predict the graph at time t+1:
+- Edge weight prediction (CSI coherence at next timestep)
+- Topology prediction (which edges will appear/disappear)
+- This forces the model to learn physical dynamics of RF propagation
+
+**Spectral Prediction.** Predict Laplacian eigenvalues from node/edge features:
+- The eigenvalue spectrum encodes global graph properties (connectivity, partition quality)
+- This objective directly trains the model for partition-related downstream tasks
+
+### 6.3 Architecture for RF Foundation Model
+
+**Input tokenization.** Each CSI measurement frame consists of:
+- 16 nodes with device features
+- Up to 120 edges with CSI feature vectors
+- Temporal context window of W frames
+
+**Encoder.** GPS-style graph transformer:
+- 12 layers, 512 hidden dimensions, 8 attention heads
+- LapPE + RWPE + spatial positional encoding
+- Per-node memory (TGN-style) for temporal context
+- Estimated parameters: approximately 25M
+
+**Pre-training data requirements.** For effective pre-training:
+- Minimum 100 diverse environments (rooms, corridors, open spaces, multi-room apartments)
+- Minimum 1000 hours of CSI data per environment
+- Diverse conditions: empty rooms, 1-5 occupants, various furniture configurations
+- Multiple hardware configurations (antenna counts, node densities, frequencies)
+
+**Data sources.** Combination of:
+- Real CSI data from deployed ESP32 meshes (highest quality, limited quantity)
+- Simulated CSI using ray-tracing (unlimited quantity, limited fidelity)
+- Hybrid: real data augmented with simulated variations
+
+### 6.4 Fine-tuning Strategies
+
+**Linear probing.** Freeze the pre-trained encoder, train only a linear classification head. Tests whether pre-trained representations already encode task-relevant information. For mincut prediction, linear probing on the Fiedler vector prediction provides a diagnostic.
+
+**Low-rank adaptation (LoRA).** Add low-rank update matrices to attention weights:
+```
+W' = W + alpha * BA
+```
+Where B is d x r and A is r x d with r << d. This enables task-specific adaptation with minimal additional parameters (typically r=4-16).
+
+**Full fine-tuning.** Update all parameters on task-specific data. Most expressive but requires more labeled data and risks catastrophic forgetting.
+
+**Prompt tuning.** Prepend learnable "prompt" tokens to the input sequence that steer the pre-trained model toward the desired task. For RF sensing, prompts could encode the environment type (residential, commercial, industrial) or task specification (2-way cut, k-way cut, occupancy count).
+
+### 6.5 Cross-Environment Generalization
+
+A critical challenge for RF foundation models is domain shift between environments. The MERIDIAN framework (ADR-027) addresses this through:
+
+1. **Environment fingerprinting.** Learn a compact representation of each environment's RF characteristics (room dimensions, material properties, multipath richness).
+2. **Domain-invariant features.** Train the encoder to produce representations that are invariant to environment-specific characteristics while preserving task-relevant information.
+3. **Few-shot adaptation.** Given 5-10 minutes of data in a new environment, adapt the model to the new domain using meta-learning techniques.
+
+The foundation model's pre-training across diverse environments naturally supports MERIDIAN-style generalization by exposing the model to the full distribution of RF environments during pre-training.
+
+### 6.6 Scaling Laws
+
+Based on analogies to language and vision foundation models, expected scaling behavior for RF foundation models:
+
+| Model Size | Parameters | Pre-training Data | Expected Mincut F1 (zero-shot) |
+|-----------|-----------|-------------------|-------------------------------|
+| Tiny | 1M | 100 hours | 0.60 |
+| Small | 10M | 1K hours | 0.72 |
+| Base | 25M | 10K hours | 0.80 |
+| Large | 100M | 100K hours | 0.86 |
+
+These are rough estimates. The key question is whether RF sensing exhibits the same favorable scaling behavior as language and vision. The lower dimensionality of RF data (16 nodes, 120 edges, 56 subcarriers) compared to images (millions of pixels) or text (50K+ vocabulary) suggests that smaller models may suffice.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Efficient Edge Deployment
+
+### 7.1 Deployment Constraints
+
+The ESP32 mesh operates under severe resource constraints:
+
+| Resource | ESP32 | ESP32-S3 | Target Budget |
+|----------|-------|----------|--------------|
+| RAM | 520 KB | 512 KB + 8MB PSRAM | <2 MB model |
+| Flash | 4 MB | 16 MB | <4 MB model |
+| Clock | 240 MHz | 240 MHz | <10ms inference |
+| FPU | Single-precision | Single-precision | FP32 or INT8 |
+| SIMD | None | PIE (128-bit) | Use where available |
+
+Real-time inference at 100 Hz requires completing a forward pass in under 10ms. For on-device inference, this is extremely challenging. The practical deployment model is:
+
+1. **Edge aggregator** (ESP32-S3 with PSRAM): runs the inference model
+2. **Sensor nodes** (ESP32): collect CSI and transmit to aggregator
+3. **Optional cloud fallback**: for complex models exceeding edge capacity
+
+### 7.2 Knowledge Distillation
+
+Train a small "student" model to mimic a large "teacher" model:
+
+**Teacher.** Full-size graph transformer (GPS, 4 layers, d=128, approximately 2M parameters):
+- Trained on labeled CSI data with exact mincut targets
+- Achieves best accuracy but too large for edge deployment
+
+**Student.** Tiny graph network (2 layers, d=32, approximately 50K parameters):
+- Trained to minimize KL divergence between its output distribution and the teacher's:
+```
+L_distill = alpha * KL(p_student || p_teacher) + (1-alpha) * L_task
+```
+- Temperature scaling softens the teacher's predictions, exposing inter-class relationships
+
+**Distillation strategies for RF sensing:**
+
+1. **Output distillation.** Student mimics teacher's mincut partition probabilities.
+2. **Feature distillation.** Student's intermediate representations match teacher's (after projection):
+```
+L_feature = ||proj(h_student^l) - h_teacher^l||_2
+```
+3. **Attention distillation.** Student's attention patterns match teacher's:
+```
+L_attention = KL(A_student || A_teacher)
+```
+This is particularly valuable because the teacher's attention patterns encode which node pairs are most informative for the partition decision.
+
+4. **Spectral distillation.** Student matches teacher's predicted Laplacian eigenvalues. This is a compact, information-dense target that encodes the entire partition structure.
+
+### 7.3 Quantization
+
+**Post-Training Quantization (PTQ).** Convert FP32 weights and activations to INT8 after training:
+- Weight quantization: symmetric per-channel quantization for linear layers
+- Activation quantization: asymmetric per-tensor with calibration data
+- Expected accuracy loss: 1-3% on mincut F1
+- Model size reduction: 4x (FP32 to INT8)
+- Inference speedup: 2-4x on INT8-capable hardware
+
+**Quantization-Aware Training (QAT).** Simulate quantization during training using straight-through estimators:
+- Fake-quantize weights and activations during forward pass
+- Backpropagate through the quantization operation using straight-through gradient
+- Expected accuracy loss: <1% on mincut F1
+- Same size/speed benefits as PTQ
+
+**Mixed-Precision Quantization.** Different layers tolerate different quantization levels:
+- Attention QK computation: sensitive, keep FP16
+- Attention values and FFN: tolerant, use INT8
+- Positional encodings: very sensitive, keep FP32
+- Output projection: tolerant, use INT8
+
+For the ESP32-S3, the optimal strategy is INT8 quantization with FP32 positional encodings, yielding approximately 100KB model size for a 2-layer, d=32 student network.
+
+### 7.4 Pruning
+
+**Structured Pruning.** Remove entire attention heads or FFN neurons:
+- Score each head by its average attention entropy (low entropy = specialized = important)
+- Remove heads with highest entropy (most diffuse attention)
+- For a 2-layer, 4-head model: pruning to 2 heads per layer halves attention computation
+
+**Unstructured Pruning.** Zero out individual weights:
+- Magnitude pruning: remove weights with smallest absolute value
+- 80% sparsity achievable with minimal accuracy loss for graph transformers
+- Requires sparse matrix support for inference speedup (not available on ESP32)
+
+**Token Pruning.** For ViT-based approaches, remove uninformative patches:
+- Score each patch token by its attention received from the [CLS] token
+- Remove bottom 50% of patches after the first transformer layer
+- Reduces computation by approximately 2x in subsequent layers
+
+**Structured pruning is recommended** for ESP32 deployment because it reduces model size and computation without requiring sparse matrix hardware support.
+
+### 7.5 Architecture-Level Efficiency
+
+Beyond compression, architectural choices dramatically affect edge efficiency:
+
+**Efficient attention variants:**
+- **Linear attention** (Katharopoulos et al., ICML 2020): replaces softmax attention with kernel-based approximation, reducing O(N^2) to O(N). For N=16, the savings are minimal, but it eliminates the softmax computation.
+- **Performer** (Choromanski et al., ICLR 2021): random feature approximation of softmax attention. Similar linear complexity.
+- For N=16 nodes, standard quadratic attention (256 operations) is already fast enough. Efficient variants matter only for the ViT spectrogram path with many patches.
+
+**Lightweight feed-forward networks:**
+- Replace standard 4d FFN with depthwise separable convolutions
+- Use GLU (Gated Linear Unit) activation instead of GELU to reduce hidden dimension
+
+**Weight sharing:**
+- Share weights across transformer layers (ALBERT-style)
+- For a 2-layer model, this halves the parameter count
+- Accuracy loss is minimal when combined with distillation
+
+### 7.6 Deployment Pipeline
+
+The recommended deployment pipeline for RuView:
+
+```
+1. Train large teacher model (GPU server)
+   - GPS graph transformer, 4 layers, d=128
+   - Full precision, all data augmentation
+   - Target: best possible accuracy
+
+2. Distill to student model (GPU server)
+   - 2-layer graph network, d=32
+   - Output + attention distillation
+   - QAT with INT8 simulation
+
+3. Export to ONNX
+   - Fixed input shape (16 nodes, 120 edges)
+   - INT8 weights, FP32 positional encodings
+
+4. Convert to TFLite Micro or custom C inference
+   - Flatten attention to static matrix operations
+   - Pre-compute positional encodings
+   - Inline all operations (no dynamic dispatch)
+
+5. Deploy to ESP32-S3 aggregator
+   - Model in flash, activations in PSRAM
+   - Inference budget: 8ms per frame at 100 Hz
+   - Fallback: reduce to 50 Hz if budget exceeded
+```
+
+### 7.7 Model Size Estimates
+
+| Configuration | Parameters | INT8 Size | FP32 Size | Estimated Latency (ESP32-S3) |
+|--------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|------------------------------|
+| 2L, d=16, 2H | 8K | 8 KB | 32 KB | <1 ms |
+| 2L, d=32, 4H | 50K | 50 KB | 200 KB | 2-3 ms |
+| 2L, d=64, 4H | 180K | 180 KB | 720 KB | 5-8 ms |
+| 4L, d=32, 4H | 100K | 100 KB | 400 KB | 4-6 ms |
+| 4L, d=64, 8H | 400K | 400 KB | 1.6 MB | 10-15 ms |
+
+The sweet spot for ESP32-S3 deployment is the 2-layer, d=32, 4-head configuration: 50K parameters, 50 KB INT8 model, 2-3 ms inference latency. This fits comfortably within the hardware constraints while providing sufficient model capacity for mincut prediction on a 16-node graph.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Synthesis and Recommendations
+
+### 8.1 Recommended Architecture Stack
+
+Based on the analysis across all seven dimensions, we recommend a layered architecture:
+
+**Layer 1: Feature Extraction (Per-Link)**
+- Lightweight 1D CNN or linear projection on raw CSI vectors
+- Extracts link-level features: coherence, Doppler, phase gradient
+- Runs on each ESP32 sensor node or on the aggregator
+- Output: 32-dimensional feature vector per link
+
+**Layer 2: Graph Transformer (Graph-Level)**
+- GPS-style architecture with MPNN + global attention
+- Combined positional encoding (LapPE + RWPE + spatial)
+- 2 layers, d=32, 4 attention heads
+- Processes the 16-node graph with link features as edge attributes
+- Output: 32-dimensional embedding per node
+
+**Layer 3: MinCut Prediction Head**
+- Continuous relaxation (MinCutPool-style) for partition assignment
+- Edge-level binary prediction for cut edges
+- Spectral supervision from Fiedler vector
+- Temporal consistency regularization
+
+**Layer 4: Temporal Integration**
+- TGN-style persistent per-node memory (GRU, d=16)
+- TGAT-style continuous time encoding for irregular TDM sampling
+- Sliding window of 10 frames for temporal context
+
+### 8.2 Training Strategy
+
+**Phase 1: Self-supervised pre-training.**
+- Masked CSI modeling on unlabeled data from diverse environments
+- Graph contrastive learning with topology augmentation
+- Duration: until convergence on held-out environments
+
+**Phase 2: Supervised fine-tuning.**
+- Exact mincut labels computed offline
+- Fiedler vector regression for spectral supervision
+- Multi-task: mincut + occupancy count + room classification
+- Duration: until validation plateau
+
+**Phase 3: Distillation and compression.**
+- Distill to edge-deployable student model
+- Quantization-aware training with INT8
+- Structured pruning of attention heads
+- Validate accuracy within 3% of teacher model
+
+**Phase 4: Deployment and adaptation.**
+- Deploy INT8 model to ESP32-S3 aggregator
+- Online few-shot adaptation using LoRA weights stored in PSRAM
+- Continuous monitoring of prediction quality vs. exact mincut
+
+### 8.3 Open Research Questions
+
+1. **Spectral vs. spatial positional encoding.** For RF graphs where both the topology and physical coordinates are known, what is the optimal combination? Does one subsume the other?
+
+2. **Scaling laws for RF transformers.** Do RF foundation models follow the same scaling laws as language models, or does the lower intrinsic dimensionality of RF data plateau earlier?
+
+3. **Temporal attention span.** How many past frames should the transformer attend to? Too few misses slow dynamics (breathing); too many wastes computation on stale information.
+
+4. **Adversarial robustness.** Can an attacker manipulate CSI measurements on a few links to fool the mincut predictor? How do we harden the model against adversarial RF injection? This connects to the adversarial detection module in RuvSense.
+
+5. **Graph size generalization.** A model trained on 16-node graphs should ideally generalize to 8-node or 32-node deployments. Graph transformers with relative positional encoding (rather than absolute) are better positioned for this.
+
+6. **Real-time continual learning.** Can the model update itself online as the environment changes (furniture moved, walls added/removed) without catastrophic forgetting of general RF knowledge?
+
+### 8.4 Expected Performance Targets
+
+| Metric | Target | Baseline (Exact Mincut) |
+|--------|--------|------------------------|
+| Mincut F1 (2-way) | >0.92 | 1.00 (by definition) |
+| Mincut F1 (k-way, k=4) | >0.85 | 1.00 |
+| Temporal smoothness (jitter) | <0.05 | 0.15 (noisy) |
+| Inference latency (ESP32-S3) | <5 ms | <0.1 ms |
+| Model size (INT8) | <100 KB | N/A (algorithm) |
+| Adaptation to new room | <5 min data | N/A |
+| Zero-shot transfer (new room) | >0.75 F1 | 1.00 |
+
+### 8.5 Integration with RuView Pipeline
+
+The transformer-based mincut predictor integrates into the existing RuView architecture at the following points:
+
+- **Input**: CSI frames from `wifi-densepose-signal` (after phase alignment and coherence scoring via RuvSense modules)
+- **Graph construction**: `ruvector-mincut` provides the coherence-weighted graph
+- **Inference**: New `wifi-densepose-nn` backend for the graph transformer model
+- **Output**: Partition assignments consumed by `wifi-densepose-mat` for mass casualty assessment and `pose_tracker` for multi-person tracking
+- **Training**: `wifi-densepose-train` with ruvector integration for dataset management
+
+The differentiable mincut predictor enables end-to-end gradient flow from downstream pose estimation loss through the partition decision back to the CSI feature extractor, potentially improving the entire pipeline's accuracy.

+# SOTA WiFi Sensing for Edge Pose Estimation (2024-2026 Update)
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-02
+**Focus:** New architectures, lightweight models, edge deployment, ESP32+Pi Zero inference
+**Complements:** `wifi-sensing-ruvector-sota-2026.md` (February 2026 survey)
+
+---
+
+## 1. New Architectures Since Last Survey
+
+### 1.1 WiFlow: Lightweight Continuous Pose Estimation (February 2026)
+
+**Paper:** WiFlow: A Lightweight WiFi-based Continuous Human Pose Estimation Network with Spatio-Temporal Feature Decoupling ([arXiv:2602.08661](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.08661))
+
+WiFlow is the most directly relevant architecture for our ESP32 + Pi Zero deployment target.
+
+#### Architecture
+
+Three-stage encoder-decoder with spatio-temporal decoupling:
+
+**Stage 1: Temporal Encoder (TCN)**
+- Dilated causal convolution with exponentially growing dilation factors (1, 2, 4, 8)
+- Input: 540x20 tensor (18 antenna links x 30 subcarriers = 540 features, 20 time steps)
+- Progressive channel compression: 540 -> 440 -> 340 -> 240
+- Preserves temporal causality while achieving full receptive field coverage
+
+**Stage 2: Spatial Encoder (Asymmetric Convolution)**
+- 1xk kernels operating only in the subcarrier dimension
+- 4 residual blocks: 8 -> 16 -> 32 -> 64 channels
+- Subcarrier compression: 240 -> 120 -> 60 -> 30 -> 15
+- Stride (1,2) downsampling -- no pooling layers
+
+**Stage 3: Axial Self-Attention**
+- Two-stage axial attention reduces complexity from O(H^2 W^2) to O(H^2 W + HW^2)
+- Stage one: width direction (temporal axis), 8 groups
+- Stage two: height direction (keypoint axis)
+- Input reshaped to (B x K) x C x T for first stage
+
+**Decoder:**
+- Adaptive average pooling instead of fully connected layers
+- Direct coordinate regression to 2D keypoint positions
+
+#### Key Metrics
+
+| Metric | WiFlow | WPformer | WiSPPN |
+|--------|--------|----------|--------|
+| Parameters | **4.82M** | 10.04M | 121.5M |
+| FLOPs | **0.47B** | 35.00B | 338.45B |
+| PCK@20 (random split) | **97.00%** | 70.02% | 85.87% |
+| MPJPE (random split) | **0.008m** | 0.028m | 0.016m |
+| PCK@20 (cross-subject) | **86.89%** | -- | -- |
+| Training time (5-fold) | **18.17h** | 137.5h | -- |
+
+**Critical observations for our project:**
+- 4.82M parameters at INT8 quantization = ~4.8 MB model size -- fits in Pi Zero 2 W RAM (512 MB)
+- 0.47B FLOPs suggests ~50ms inference on Cortex-A53 with NEON SIMD (estimated)
+- Only uses amplitude, discards phase (phase is "heavily corrupted by CFO and SFO in commercial WiFi devices")
+- ESP32-S3 CSI has similar CFO/SFO issues, so amplitude-only approach is pragmatic
+
+**Loss function:**
+```
+L = L_H + lambda * L_B
+L_H = SmoothL1(predicted_keypoints, ground_truth, beta=0.1)
+L_B = sum of bone length constraint violations across 14 bone connections
+lambda = 0.2
+```
+
+The bone constraint loss is particularly important for edge deployment where noisy predictions need physical plausibility enforcement.
+
+#### Adaptation for ESP32 + Pi Zero
+
+WiFlow's architecture maps well to our hardware:
+- TCN runs on ESP32 (temporal feature extraction from raw CSI stream)
+- Asymmetric conv + axial attention runs on Pi Zero (spatial encoding + pose regression)
+- The 540-dimensional input assumes Intel 5300 NIC (18 links x 30 subcarriers); for ESP32-S3 with 1 TX x 1 RX and 52 subcarriers, input dimension is 52x20 = 1040 -- even smaller
+
+### 1.2 MultiFormer: Multi-Person WiFi Pose (May 2025)
+
+**Paper:** MultiFormer: A Multi-Person Pose Estimation System Based on CSI and Attention Mechanism ([arXiv:2505.22555](https://arxiv.org/html/2505.22555v1))
+
+#### Architecture
+
+Teacher-student framework with OpenPose teacher providing ground truth labels.
+
+**Time-Frequency Dual-Dimensional Tokenization (TFDDT):**
+- Input: CSI matrix from 1 TX, 3 RX, 30 subcarriers
+- Upsampled via zero-insertion + low-pass filtering to 64x3x64
+- Two parallel token streams:
+  - Frequency tokens F_j: N_S tokens of length M x N_R (subcarrier-centric view)
+  - Temporal tokens T_i: M tokens of length N_S x N_R (time-centric view)
+
+**Dual Transformer Encoder:**
+- 8 layers per branch (frequency and temporal)
+- Multi-head self-attention: MSA(X) = (1/H) * sum(Softmax(QK^T / sqrt(d_k)) V)
+- Each branch followed by FFN with ReLU, dropout, residual connections
+
+**Multi-Stage Pose Estimation:**
+- Part Confidence Maps (PCM): 19x36x36 heatmaps (18 keypoints + average)
+- Part Affinity Fields (PAF): 38x36x36 directional fields for 19 limb connections
+- Pose-Attentive Perception Module (PAPM): channel + spatial attention on PCM/PAF
+- Multi-person assignment via Hungarian algorithm on PAF integrals
+
+#### Model Variants
+
+| Variant | Encoder Layers | Input | Parameters |
+|---------|---------------|-------|------------|
+| MultiFormer | 8 | 64x1296 | 11.93M |
+| MultiFormer-24 | 8 | 64x576 | 4.05M |
+| MultiFormer-18 | 6 | 64x324 | **2.80M** |
+
+**Key result on MM-Fi dataset:** MultiFormer achieves PCK@20 of 0.7225, outperforming CSI2Pose (0.6841). The compact MultiFormer-18 at 2.80M parameters is edge-deployable.
+
+#### Relevance to Our Project
+
+MultiFormer's dual-token approach is valuable because:
+1. It explicitly separates temporal and frequency information (like WiFlow's decoupling)
+2. The PAF-based multi-person assignment using Hungarian algorithm can run on Pi Zero
+3. The 2.80M parameter variant (MultiFormer-18) at INT8 = ~2.8 MB, well within Pi Zero constraints
+
+### 1.3 Person-in-WiFi 3D (CVPR 2024)
+
+**Paper:** Person-in-WiFi 3D: End-to-End Multi-Person 3D Pose Estimation with Wi-Fi (CVPR 2024)
+
+First multi-person 3D WiFi pose estimation.
+
+**Key results:**
+- Single person MPJPE: 91.7mm
+- Two persons: 108.1mm
+- Three persons: 125.3mm
+- Dataset: 97K frames, 4m x 3.5m area, 7 volunteers
+- Transformer-based end-to-end architecture
+
+**Relevance:** Establishes the accuracy ceiling for WiFi 3D pose. Our ESP32+Pi system should target comparable single-person performance (sub-100mm MPJPE) as a milestone.
+
+### 1.4 Spatio-Temporal 3D Point Clouds from WiFi-CSI (October 2024)
+
+**Paper:** [arXiv:2410.16303](https://arxiv.org/html/2410.16303v1)
+
+Novel approach: generates 3D point clouds from WiFi CSI data using transformer networks.
+
+**Key innovation:** Positional encoding with learned embeddings for antennas and subcarriers, followed by multi-head attention over antenna-subcarrier pairs. This captures both spatial (antenna geometry) and spectral (subcarrier frequency response) dependencies.
+
+**Relevance:** Point cloud output is a richer representation than keypoints alone, enabling:
+- Silhouette estimation for activity recognition
+- Body volume estimation for person identification
+- Occlusion reasoning when fused with multiple viewpoints
+
+### 1.5 Graph-Based 3D Human Pose from WiFi (November 2025)
+
+**Paper:** Graph-based 3D Human Pose Estimation using WiFi Signals ([arXiv:2511.19105](https://arxiv.org/html/2511.19105))
+
+Uses graph neural networks where nodes represent keypoints and edges represent skeletal connections. CSI features are injected as node/edge attributes.
+
+**Relevance:** Graph structure naturally maps to our RuvSense pose_tracker which already maintains a 17-keypoint skeleton with Kalman filtering. Adding graph-based message passing between keypoints could improve joint prediction coherence.
+
+## 2. Edge Deployment Landscape
+
+### 2.1 CSI-Sense-Zero: ESP32 + Pi Zero Reference Implementation
+
+**Repository:** [github.com/winwinashwin/CSI-Sense-Zero](https://github.com/winwinashwin/CSI-Sense-Zero)
+
+The most directly relevant prior art for our hardware target.
+
+**Architecture:**
+- Two ESP32-WROOM-32: one TX, one RX (captures CSI)
+- Pi Zero: inference node
+- Communication: USB serial at 921,600 baud
+- Buffer: 235KB FIFO at `/tmp/csififo` (~256 CSI records)
+- Inference rate: 2 Hz (configurable)
+- WebSocket output for real-time visualization
+
+**Data flow:**
+```
+ESP32 TX -> WiFi signal -> ESP32 RX -> Serial (921.6 kbaud) -> Pi Zero FIFO -> Model -> WebSocket
+```
+
+**Limitations:**
+- Original Pi Zero (single-core ARM11) -- very slow inference
+- Activity recognition only (not pose estimation)
+- Python inference (not optimized for ARM)
+
+**What we improve:**
+- Pi Zero 2 W has quad-core Cortex-A53 -- roughly 5-10x faster than Pi Zero
+- Rust inference (ONNX/Candle) vs Python -- 3-10x faster
+- ESP32-S3 vs ESP32-WROOM-32 -- better CSI quality, more subcarriers
+- Pose estimation instead of just activity classification
+- UDP transport instead of USB serial -- supports multi-node mesh
+
+### 2.2 OnnxStream: Lightweight ONNX on Pi Zero 2 W
+
+**Repository:** [github.com/vitoplantamura/OnnxStream](https://github.com/vitoplantamura/OnnxStream)
+
+Runs Stable Diffusion XL on Pi Zero 2 W in 298 MB RAM. Key features:
+- C++ implementation, XNNPACK acceleration
+- ARM NEON SIMD optimization
+- Memory-efficient streaming execution (processes one operator at a time)
+- Supports INT8 quantization
+
+**Benchmark estimates for our model sizes:**
+
+| Model | Parameters | INT8 Size | Est. Pi Zero 2 Latency |
+|-------|-----------|-----------|----------------------|
+| MultiFormer-18 | 2.80M | ~2.8 MB | ~30-50ms |
+| WiFlow | 4.82M | ~4.8 MB | ~50-80ms |
+| MultiFormer | 11.93M | ~11.9 MB | ~120-200ms |
+| DensePose-WiFi | ~25M (est.) | ~25 MB | ~300-500ms |
+
+These estimates assume XNNPACK-accelerated INT8 inference on Cortex-A53 @ 1 GHz. The WiFlow and MultiFormer-18 models can achieve 12-20 Hz inference, matching our 20 Hz TDMA cycle target.
+
+### 2.3 ONNX Runtime on ARM
+
+ONNX Runtime officially supports Raspberry Pi deployment with:
+- ARM NEON execution provider
+- INT8 quantization support
+- Python and C++ APIs
+- Model optimization tools (graph optimization, operator fusion)
+
+For Rust integration, the `ort` crate (ONNX Runtime Rust bindings) supports cross-compilation to aarch64-linux-gnu.
+
+### 2.4 EfficientFi: CSI Compression for Edge
+
+**Paper:** EfficientFi: Towards Large-Scale Lightweight WiFi Sensing via CSI Compression ([arXiv:2204.04138](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.04138))
+
+Proposes compressing CSI data on the sensing device before transmission to the inference node. Key idea: train a CSI autoencoder where the encoder runs on the constrained device and the decoder runs on the more powerful inference node.
+
+**Relevance:** For our ESP32 -> Pi Zero pipeline, CSI compression on ESP32 reduces:
+- UDP packet size (lower bandwidth, less packet loss)
+- Pi Zero preprocessing time (compressed features are more compact)
+- Effective latency (less data to transmit per frame)
+
+## 3. Comparative Analysis: Architecture Selection for ESP32 + Pi Zero
+
+### 3.1 Decision Matrix
+
+| Criterion | WiFlow | MultiFormer-18 | DensePose-WiFi | Graph-3D |
+|-----------|--------|----------------|----------------|----------|
+| Parameters | 4.82M | 2.80M | ~25M | ~8M (est.) |
+| FLOPs | 0.47B | ~0.3B (est.) | ~5B (est.) | ~1B (est.) |
+| Multi-person | No | Yes (PAF+Hungarian) | Yes (RCNN-based) | No |
+| 3D output | No (2D) | No (2D) | No (UV map) | Yes (3D) |
+| Amplitude-only | Yes | Yes | No (amp+phase) | Unknown |
+| Edge-viable | Yes | Yes | No | Marginal |
+| Open source | Not yet | Not yet | Limited | Not yet |
+
+### 3.2 Recommended Architecture: Hybrid WiFlow + MultiFormer
+
+For the ESP32 + Pi Zero deployment, we recommend a hybrid architecture:
+
+1. **WiFlow's TCN temporal encoder** on ESP32 -- extract temporal features from raw CSI
+2. **MultiFormer's dual-token approach** on Pi Zero -- process both frequency and temporal views
+3. **WiFlow's bone constraint loss** during training -- enforce physical skeleton plausibility
+4. **RuvSense coherence gating** before inference -- reject low-quality CSI frames
+
+This hybrid achieves:
+- ~3-5M parameters (between WiFlow and MultiFormer-18)
+- Amplitude-only input (robust to ESP32 CFO/SFO)
+- Sub-100ms inference on Pi Zero 2 W
+- Optional multi-person support via PAF module
+
+### 3.3 Training Data Strategy
+
+Based on the surveyed papers:
+
+| Dataset | Subjects | Frames | Hardware | Availability |
+|---------|----------|--------|----------|--------------|
+| CMU DensePose-WiFi | 8 | ~250K | Intel 5300 | Limited |
+| Person-in-WiFi 3D | 7 | 97K | Custom WiFi | GitHub |
+| MM-Fi | Multiple | Large | WiFi + mmWave | Public |
+| Wi-Pose | Multiple | Large | Intel 5300 | Public |
+
+**Our approach:**
+1. Pre-train on MM-Fi/Wi-Pose public datasets (Intel 5300 CSI format)
+2. Apply domain adaptation for ESP32-S3 CSI format (different subcarrier count, CFO characteristics)
+3. Fine-tune on self-collected ESP32-S3 data in target environments
+4. Augment with synthetic CSI from ray-tracing forward model (Arena Physica insight)
+
+## 4. Gap Analysis: Current wifi-densepose vs SOTA
+
+### 4.1 What We Have
+
+| Capability | Status | Module |
+|-----------|--------|--------|
+| ESP32 CSI capture | Production | `wifi-densepose-hardware` |
+| Multi-node fusion | Production | `ruvsense/multistatic.rs` |
+| Phase alignment | Production | `ruvsense/phase_align.rs` |
+| Coherence gating | Production | `ruvsense/coherence_gate.rs` |
+| 17-keypoint tracking | Production | `ruvsense/pose_tracker.rs` |
+| ONNX inference engine | Production | `wifi-densepose-nn` |
+| Modality translator | Production | `wifi-densepose-nn/translator.rs` |
+| Training pipeline | Production | `wifi-densepose-train` |
+| Subcarrier interpolation | Production | `wifi-densepose-train/subcarrier.rs` |
+
+### 4.2 What We Are Missing
+
+| Gap | Required For | Priority |
+|-----|-------------|----------|
+| **Pi Zero deployment target** | Edge inference node | Critical |
+| **Lightweight model architecture** | Sub-100ms inference on Cortex-A53 | Critical |
+| **Temporal causal convolution** | Real-time streaming inference | High |
+| **Axial attention module** | Efficient spatial encoding | High |
+| **Bone constraint loss** | Physical plausibility | High |
+| **CSI compression on ESP32** | Bandwidth reduction | Medium |
+| **INT8 quantization pipeline** | Model size reduction | Medium |
+| **Cross-environment adaptation** | Deployment generalization | Medium |
+| **Multi-person PAF decoding** | Multiple subject support | Low (Phase 2) |
+| **3D pose lifting** | Z-axis estimation | Low (Phase 3) |
+| **Diffusion-based pose refinement** | Uncertainty quantification | Research |
+
+### 4.3 Architecture Gaps in Detail
+
+**1. No lightweight inference path.** The current `wifi-densepose-nn` crate assumes GPU or high-end CPU inference. We need an `EdgeInferenceEngine` optimized for:
+- INT8 ONNX models
+- ARM NEON SIMD via XNNPACK
+- Streaming inference (process CSI frames as they arrive, not in batches)
+- Memory-mapped model loading (avoid loading entire model into RAM)
+
+**2. No ESP32 -> Pi Zero communication protocol.** The `wifi-densepose-hardware` crate handles ESP32 CSI capture and UDP aggregation to a server, but has no lightweight protocol for ESP32 -> Pi Zero direct communication. We need:
+- Compact binary frame format (not the full ADR-018 format)
+- Optional CSI compression (autoencoder on ESP32 or simple PCA)
+- Heartbeat and synchronization for multi-ESP32 setups
+
+**3. No temporal convolution module.** The existing signal processing pipeline uses frame-by-frame processing. WiFlow and MultiFormer both show that temporal context (20 frames for WiFlow, 64 frames for MultiFormer) significantly improves accuracy. We need a ring buffer + TCN module in the inference path.
+
+**4. No bone/skeleton constraint enforcement at inference time.** The `pose_tracker.rs` has Kalman filtering and skeleton constraints, but these are post-hoc corrections. WiFlow shows that baking bone constraints into the loss function during training produces better models that need less post-processing.

+# ESP32 CSI to Cognitum Seed Pretraining Pipeline
+
+A beginner-friendly tutorial for collecting WiFi CSI data with ESP32 nodes
+and building a pre-trained model using the Cognitum Seed edge intelligence appliance.
+
+**Estimated time:** 1 hour (setup 20 min, data collection 30 min, verification 10 min)
+
+**What you will build:** A self-supervised pretraining dataset stored on a
+Cognitum Seed, containing 8-dimensional feature vectors extracted from live
+WiFi Channel State Information. The Seed's RVF vector store, kNN search, and
+witness chain turn raw radio signals into a searchable, cryptographically
+attested knowledge base -- no cameras or manual labeling required.
+
+**Who this is for:** Makers, embedded engineers, and ML practitioners who want
+to experiment with WiFi-based human sensing. No Rust knowledge is needed; the
+entire workflow uses Python and pre-built firmware binaries.

+```
+
+> **Tip:** Place the two ESP32 nodes 3-5 meters apart at different heights.
+> This gives the multi-node pipeline spatial diversity, which improves the
+> quality of cross-viewpoint features.
+
+### Step 2.1: Connect and Verify the Cognitum Seed
+
+Plug the Cognitum Seed into your laptop using a USB **data** cable.
+
+Wait 30-60 seconds for it to boot. Then verify connectivity:
+
+```bash
+curl -sk https://169.254.42.1:8443/api/v1/status
+```
+
+Expected output (abbreviated):
+
+```json
+{
+  "device_id": "ecaf97dd-fc90-4b0e-b0e7-e9f896b9fbb6",
+  "total_vectors": 0,
+  "epoch": 1,
+  "dimension": 8,
+  "uptime_secs": 45
+}
+```
+
+> **Note:** The `-sk` flags tell curl to use HTTPS (`-s` silent, `-k` skip
+> TLS certificate verification). The Seed uses a self-signed certificate.
+
+You can also open `https://169.254.42.1:8443/guide` in a browser (accept
+the self-signed certificate warning) to see the Seed's setup guide.
+
+### Step 2.2: Pair the Seed
+
+Pairing generates a bearer token that authorizes write access. Pairing can
+only be initiated from the USB interface (169.254.42.1), not from WiFi -- this
+is a security feature.
+
+```bash
+curl -sk -X POST https://169.254.42.1:8443/api/v1/pair \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"client_name": "wifi-densepose-tutorial"}'
+```
+
+Expected output:
+
+```json
+{
+  "token": "seed_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
+  "expires": null,
+  "permissions": ["read", "write", "admin"]
+}
+```
+
+Save this token -- you will need it for every bridge command:
+
+```bash
+export SEED_TOKEN="seed_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
+```
+
+> **Warning:** Treat the token like a password. Do not commit it to git or
+> share it publicly.
+
+### Step 2.3: Flash ESP32 #1
+
+Connect the first ESP32-S3 to your laptop via USB. Identify its serial port:
+
+```bash
+# Windows -- look for "Silicon Labs" or "CP210x" in Device Manager
+# or run:
+python -m serial.tools.list_ports
+
+# macOS
+ls /dev/tty.usb*
+
+# Linux
+ls /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/ttyACM*
+```
+
+Flash the firmware (replace `COM9` with your port):
+
+```bash
+esptool.py --chip esp32s3 --port COM9 --baud 460800 \
+  write_flash \
+  0x0     bootloader.bin \
+  0x8000  partition-table.bin \
+  0xd000  ota_data_initial.bin \
+  0x10000 esp32-csi-node.bin
+```
+
+Expected output (last lines):
+
+```
+Writing at 0x000f4000... (100 %)
+Wrote 978432 bytes (...)
+Hash of data verified.
+Leaving...
+Hard resetting via RTS pin...
+```
+
+### Step 2.4: Provision ESP32 #1
+
+Tell the ESP32 which WiFi network to join and where to send data:
+
+```bash
+python firmware/esp32-csi-node/provision.py \
+  --port COM9 \
+  --ssid "YourWiFi" \
+  --password "YourPassword" \
+  --target-ip 192.168.1.20 \
+  --target-port 5006 \
+  --node-id 1
+```
+
+Replace:
+- `COM9` with your actual serial port
+- `YourWiFi` / `YourPassword` with your WiFi credentials
+- `192.168.1.20` with your host laptop's IP address
+
+Expected output:
+
+```
+Writing NVS partition (24576 bytes) at offset 0x9000...
+Provisioning complete. Reset the device to apply.
+```
+
+> **Important:** The `--target-ip` is your **host laptop**, not the Seed.
+> The bridge script runs on your laptop and forwards vectors to the Seed
+> via HTTPS.
+
+### Step 2.5: Verify ESP32 #1 Is Streaming
+
+After provisioning, the ESP32 resets and begins streaming. Verify with a
+quick UDP listener:
+
+```bash
+python -c "
+import socket, struct
+sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
+sock.bind(('0.0.0.0', 5006))
+sock.settimeout(10)
+print('Listening on UDP 5006 for 10 seconds...')
+count = 0
+try:
+    while True:
+        data, addr = sock.recvfrom(2048)
+        magic = struct.unpack_from('<I', data)[0]
+        names = {0xC5110001: 'CSI_RAW', 0xC5110002: 'VITALS', 0xC5110003: 'FEATURES'}
+        name = names.get(magic, f'UNKNOWN(0x{magic:08X})')
+        count += 1
+        if count <= 5:
+            print(f'  Packet {count}: {name} from {addr[0]} ({len(data)} bytes)')
+except socket.timeout:
+    pass
+sock.close()
+print(f'Received {count} packets total')
+"
+```
+
+Expected output:
+
+```
+Listening on UDP 5006 for 10 seconds...
+  Packet 1: VITALS from 192.168.1.105 (32 bytes)
+  Packet 2: FEATURES from 192.168.1.105 (48 bytes)
+  Packet 3: VITALS from 192.168.1.105 (32 bytes)
+  Packet 4: FEATURES from 192.168.1.105 (48 bytes)
+  Packet 5: VITALS from 192.168.1.105 (32 bytes)
+Received 20 packets total
+```
+
+If you see 0 packets, check the [Troubleshooting](#8-troubleshooting) section.
+
+### Step 2.6: Flash and Provision ESP32 #2
+
+Repeat steps 2.3-2.5 for the second ESP32, using `--node-id 2`:
+
+```bash
+# Flash (replace COM8 with your port)
+esptool.py --chip esp32s3 --port COM8 --baud 460800 \
+  write_flash \
+  0x0     bootloader.bin \
+  0x8000  partition-table.bin \
+  0xd000  ota_data_initial.bin \
+  0x10000 esp32-csi-node.bin
+
+# Provision
+python firmware/esp32-csi-node/provision.py \
+  --port COM8 \
+  --ssid "YourWiFi" \
+  --password "YourPassword" \
+  --target-ip 192.168.1.20 \
+  --target-port 5006 \
+  --node-id 2
+```
+
+### Step 2.7: Verify Both Nodes
+
+Run the UDP listener again. You should see packets from two different IPs:
+
+```
+  Packet 1: FEATURES from 192.168.1.105 (48 bytes)   <-- node 1
+  Packet 2: FEATURES from 192.168.1.104 (48 bytes)   <-- node 2
+  Packet 3: VITALS from 192.168.1.105 (32 bytes)
+  Packet 4: VITALS from 192.168.1.104 (32 bytes)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Running the Bridge
+
+The bridge script (`scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py`) listens for UDP packets
+from the ESP32 nodes, batches them, and ingests them into the Seed's RVF
+vector store via HTTPS.
+
+### Basic Start
+
+```bash
+python scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py \
+  --seed-url https://169.254.42.1:8443 \
+  --token "$SEED_TOKEN" \
+  --udp-port 5006 \
+  --batch-size 10
+```
+
+Expected output:
+
+```
+12:00:01 [INFO] Connected to Seed ecaf97dd — 0 vectors, epoch 1, dim 8
+12:00:01 [INFO] Listening on UDP port 5006 (batch size: 10, flush interval: 10s)
+12:00:11 [INFO] Ingested 10 vectors (epoch=2, witness=a3b7c9d2e4f6...)
+12:00:21 [INFO] Ingested 10 vectors (epoch=3, witness=f1e2d3c4b5a6...)
+```
+
+### Bridge Flags Explained
+
+| Flag | Default | Description |
+|------|---------|-------------|
+| `--seed-url` | `https://169.254.42.1:8443` | Seed HTTPS endpoint (USB link-local) |
+| `--token` | `$SEED_TOKEN` env var | Bearer token from pairing step |
+| `--udp-port` | `5006` | UDP port to listen for ESP32 packets |
+| `--batch-size` | `10` | Number of vectors per ingest call |
+| `--flush-interval` | `10` | Maximum seconds between flushes (time-based batching) |
+| `--validate` | off | After each batch, run kNN query + PIR comparison |
+| `--stats` | off | Print Seed stats and exit (no bridge loop) |
+| `--compact` | off | Trigger store compaction and exit |
+| `--allowed-sources` | none | Comma-separated IPs to accept (anti-spoofing) |
+| `-v` / `--verbose` | off | Log every received packet |
+
+### Recommended: Validation Mode
+
+For your first data collection, enable `--validate` so the bridge verifies
+each batch against the Seed's kNN index:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py \
+  --seed-url https://169.254.42.1:8443 \
+  --token "$SEED_TOKEN" \
+  --udp-port 5006 \
+  --batch-size 10 \
+  --validate
+```
+
+With validation enabled, you will see additional output after each batch:
+
+```
+12:00:11 [INFO] Ingested 10 vectors (epoch=2, witness=a3b7c9d2...)
+12:00:11 [INFO] Validation: kNN distance=0.000000 (exact match)
+12:00:11 [INFO] PIR=LOW CSI_presence=0.14 (absent) -- agreement 100.0% (1/1)
+```
+
+### Recommended: Source IP Filtering
+
+If you are on a shared network, restrict the bridge to only accept packets
+from your ESP32 nodes:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py \
+  --token "$SEED_TOKEN" \
+  --udp-port 5006 \
+  --batch-size 10 \
+  --allowed-sources "192.168.1.104,192.168.1.105"
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Data Collection Protocol
+
+Collect 6 scenarios, 5 minutes each, for a total of 30 minutes of data.
+With 2 nodes at 1 Hz each, each scenario produces ~600 feature vectors.
+
+> **Before you begin:** Make sure the bridge is running (Section 3). Leave
+> the terminal open and start a new terminal for the commands below.
+
+### Scenario 1: Empty Room (5 min)
+
+This establishes the baseline -- what the room looks like with no one in it.
+
+```bash
+echo "=== SCENARIO 1: EMPTY ROOM ==="
+echo "Leave the room now. Data collection starts in 10 seconds."
+sleep 10
+echo "Recording for 5 minutes... ($(date))"
+sleep 300
+echo "Done. You may re-enter the room."
+```
+
+**What to do:** Leave the room. Close the door if possible. Stay out for
+the full 5 minutes.
+
+### Scenario 2: One Person Stationary (5 min)
+
+```bash
+echo "=== SCENARIO 2: 1 PERSON STATIONARY ==="
+echo "Sit at a desk or chair. Stay still. Breathe normally."
+sleep 300
+echo "Done."
+```
+
+**What to do:** Sit at a desk roughly between the two ESP32 nodes. Stay
+still. Breathe normally. Do not use your phone (arm movement adds noise).
+
+### Scenario 3: One Person Walking (5 min)
+
+```bash
+echo "=== SCENARIO 3: 1 PERSON WALKING ==="
+echo "Walk around the room at a normal pace."
+sleep 300
+echo "Done."
+```
+
+**What to do:** Walk around the room in varied paths. Go near each ESP32
+node at least once. Walk at a normal pace -- not too fast, not too slow.
+
+### Scenario 4: One Person Varied Activity (5 min)
+
+```bash
+echo "=== SCENARIO 4: 1 PERSON VARIED ==="
+echo "Move around: stand, sit, wave arms, turn in place."
+sleep 300
+echo "Done."
+```
+
+**What to do:** Mix activities. Stand up, sit down, wave your arms, turn
+around, reach for a shelf, crouch down. The goal is to capture a variety of
+body positions and motions.
+
+### Scenario 5: Two People (5 min)
+
+```bash
+echo "=== SCENARIO 5: TWO PEOPLE ==="
+echo "Two people in the room, both moving around."
+sleep 300
+echo "Done."
+```
+
+**What to do:** Have a second person enter the room. Both people should
+move around naturally -- walking, sitting, standing at different positions.
+
+### Scenario 6: Transitions (5 min)
+
+```bash
+echo "=== SCENARIO 6: TRANSITIONS ==="
+echo "Enter and exit the room repeatedly."
+sleep 300
+echo "Done."
+```
+
+**What to do:** Walk in and out of the room several times. Pause for
+30-60 seconds inside, then leave for 30-60 seconds. This teaches the model
+what state transitions look like.
+
+### Expected Data Volume
+
+After all 6 scenarios:
+
+| Metric | Expected |
+|--------|----------|
+| Total time | 30 minutes |
+| Vectors per node | ~1,800 |
+| Total vectors (2 nodes) | ~3,600 |
+| RVF store size | ~150 KB |
+| Witness chain entries | ~360+ |
+
+---
+
+## 5. Monitoring Progress
+
+### Check Seed Stats
+
+At any time, open a new terminal and run:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py --token "$SEED_TOKEN" --stats
+```
+
+Expected output (after completing all 6 scenarios):
+
+```
+=== Seed Status ===
+  Device ID:      ecaf97dd-fc90-4b0e-b0e7-e9f896b9fbb6
+  Total vectors:  3612
+  Epoch:          362
+  Dimension:      8
+  Uptime:         3845s
+
+=== Witness Chain ===
+  Valid:          True
+  Chain length:   1747
+  Head:           a3b7c9d2e4f6g8h1i2j3k4l5m6n7...
+
+=== Boundary Analysis ===
+  Fragility score: 0.42
+  Boundary count:  6
+
+=== Coherence Profile ===
+  phase_count: 6
+  current_phase: 5
+  coherence: 0.87
+
+=== kNN Graph Stats ===
+  nodes: 3612
+  edges: 18060
+  avg_degree: 5.0
+```
+
+> **What to look for:**
+> - `Total vectors` should grow by ~2 per second (1 per node per second)
+> - `Valid: True` on the witness chain means no data tampering
+> - `Fragility score` rises during transitions and drops during stable
+>   scenarios -- this is normal and expected
+> - `phase_count` should roughly correspond to the number of distinct
+>   scenarios the Seed has observed
+
+### Verify kNN Quality
+
+Query the Seed for the 5 nearest neighbors to a "someone present" vector:
+
+```bash
+curl -sk -X POST https://169.254.42.1:8443/api/v1/store/query \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SEED_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"vector": [0.8, 0.5, 0.5, 0.6, 0.5, 0.25, 0.0, 0.6], "k": 5}'
+```
+
+Expected output:
+
+```json
+{
+  "results": [
+    {"id": 2847193655, "distance": 0.023},
+    {"id": 1038476291, "distance": 0.031},
+    {"id": 3719284651, "distance": 0.045},
+    {"id": 928374651, "distance": 0.052},
+    {"id": 1847293746, "distance": 0.068}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Low distances (< 0.1) indicate the query vector is similar to stored
+vectors -- the store contains meaningful data.
+
+### Verify Witness Chain
+
+The witness chain is a SHA-256 hash chain that proves no vectors were
+tampered with after ingestion:
+
+```bash
+curl -sk -X POST https://169.254.42.1:8443/api/v1/witness/verify \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SEED_TOKEN"
+```
+
+Expected output:
+
+```json
+{
+  "valid": true,
+  "chain_length": 1747,
+  "head": "a3b7c9d2e4f6..."
+}
+```
+
+> **Warning:** If `valid` is `false`, the witness chain has been broken.
+> This means data was modified outside the normal ingest path. Discard
+> the dataset and re-collect.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Understanding the Feature Vectors
+
+Each ESP32 node extracts an 8-dimensional feature vector once per second
+from the 100 Hz CSI processing pipeline. Every dimension is normalized to
+the range 0.0 to 1.0.
+
+### Feature Dimension Table
+
+| Dim | Name | Raw Source | Normalization | Range | Example Values |
+|-----|------|-----------|---------------|-------|----------------|
+| 0 | Presence score | `presence_score` | `/ 15.0`, clamped | 0.0 -- 1.0 | Empty: 0.01-0.05, Occupied: 0.19-1.0 |
+| 1 | Motion energy | `motion_energy` | `/ 10.0`, clamped | 0.0 -- 1.0 | Still: 0.05-0.15, Walking: 0.3-0.8 |
+| 2 | Breathing rate | `breathing_bpm` | `/ 30.0`, clamped | 0.0 -- 1.0 | Normal: 0.5-0.8 (15-24 BPM), At rest: 0.67-1.0 (20-34 BPM observed) |
+| 3 | Heart rate | `heartrate_bpm` | `/ 120.0`, clamped | 0.0 -- 1.0 | Resting: 0.50-0.67 (60-80 BPM), Active: 0.63-0.83 (75-99 BPM observed) |
+| 4 | Phase variance | Welford variance | Mean of top-K subcarriers | 0.0 -- 1.0 | Stable: 0.1-0.3, Disturbed: 0.5-0.9 |
+| 5 | Person count | `n_persons / 4.0` | Clamped to [0, 1] | 0.0 -- 1.0 | 0 people: 0.0, 1 person: 0.25, 2 people: 0.5 |
+| 6 | Fall detected | Binary flag | 1.0 if fall, else 0.0 | 0.0 or 1.0 | Normal: 0.0, Fall event: 1.0 |
+| 7 | RSSI | `(rssi + 100) / 100` | Clamped to [0, 1] | 0.0 -- 1.0 | Close: 0.57-0.66 (-43 to -34 dBm), Far: 0.28-0.40 (-72 to -60 dBm) |
+
+### How to Read a Feature Vector
+
+Example vector from live validation:
+
+```
+[0.99, 0.47, 0.67, 0.63, 0.50, 0.25, 0.00, 0.57]
+```
+
+Reading this:
+
+- **0.99** (dim 0, presence) -- Strong presence detected
+- **0.47** (dim 1, motion) -- Moderate motion (slow walking or fidgeting)
+- **0.67** (dim 2, breathing) -- 20.1 BPM (0.67 x 30), normal at-rest breathing
+- **0.63** (dim 3, heart rate) -- 75.6 BPM (0.63 x 120), normal resting heart rate
+- **0.50** (dim 4, phase variance) -- Placeholder (future use)
+- **0.25** (dim 5, person count) -- 1 person (0.25 x 4 = 1)
+- **0.00** (dim 6, fall) -- No fall detected
+- **0.57** (dim 7, RSSI) -- RSSI of -43 dBm ((0.57 x 100) - 100), strong signal
+
+### Packet Format
+
+The feature vector is transmitted as a 48-byte binary packet with magic
+number `0xC5110003`:
+
+```
+Offset  Size  Type     Field
+------  ----  -------  ----------------
+0       4     uint32   magic (0xC5110003)
+4       1     uint8    node_id
+5       1     uint8    reserved
+6       2     uint16   sequence number
+8       8     int64    timestamp (microseconds since boot)
+16      32    float[8] feature vector (8 x 4 bytes)
+------  ----
+Total: 48 bytes
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Using the Pre-trained Data
+
+After collecting 30 minutes of data, the Seed holds ~3,600 feature vectors
+organized as a kNN graph with witness chain attestation.
+
+### Query for Similar States
+
+Find vectors similar to "one person sitting quietly":
+
+```bash
+curl -sk -X POST https://169.254.42.1:8443/api/v1/store/query \

+
+Find vectors similar to "empty room":
+
+```bash
+curl -sk -X POST https://169.254.42.1:8443/api/v1/store/query \

+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"vector": [0.05, 0.02, 0.0, 0.0, 0.3, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5], "k": 10}'
+```
+
+### Environment Fingerprinting
+
+The Seed's boundary analysis detects regime changes in the vector space.
+When someone enters or leaves the room, the fragility score spikes:
+
+```bash
+curl -sk https://169.254.42.1:8443/api/v1/boundary
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "fragility_score": 0.42,
+  "boundary_count": 6
+}
+```
+
+A `fragility_score` above 0.3 indicates the environment is in or near a
+transition state. The `boundary_count` roughly corresponds to the number
+of distinct "states" (scenarios) the Seed has observed.
+
+### Export Vectors
+
+To export all vectors for offline analysis or training:
+
+```bash
+curl -sk https://169.254.42.1:8443/api/v1/store/export \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SEED_TOKEN" \
+  -o pretrain-vectors.rvf
+```
+
+The exported `.rvf` file contains the raw vector data and can be loaded
+by the Rust training pipeline (`wifi-densepose-train` crate) or converted
+to NumPy arrays for Python-based training.
+
+### Compact the Store
+
+For long-running deployments, run compaction daily to keep the store
+within the Seed's memory budget:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py --token "$SEED_TOKEN" --compact
+```
+
+```
+Triggering store compaction...
+Compaction result: {
+  "vectors_before": 3612,
+  "vectors_after": 3200,
+  "bytes_freed": 16544
+}
+```
+
+### Use with the Sensing Server
+
+Start a recording session to capture the raw CSI frames alongside the
+feature vectors (the sensing-server provides the recording API):
+
+```bash
+# Start the recording (5 minutes)
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/recording/start \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"session_name":"pretrain-1p-still","label":"1p-still","duration_secs":300}'
+```
+
+The recording saves `.csi.jsonl` files that the `wifi-densepose-train`
+crate can load for full contrastive pretraining (see ADR-070).
+

+
+## 8. Troubleshooting
+
+### ESP32 Won't Connect to WiFi
+
+**Symptoms:** No packets received, ESP32 serial output shows repeated
+"WiFi: Connecting..." messages.
+
+**Fixes:**
+1. Verify SSID and password are correct (re-provision if needed)
+2. Make sure you are on a 2.4 GHz network (ESP32 does not support 5 GHz)
+3. Move the ESP32 closer to the access point
+4. Check the serial output for the exact error:
+
+```bash
+python -m serial.tools.miniterm COM9 115200
+```
+
+Look for lines like `wifi:connected` or `wifi:reason 201` (wrong password).
+
+### Bridge Shows 0 Packets
+
+**Symptoms:** Bridge starts but never logs "Ingested" messages.
+
+**Fixes:**
+1. Make sure the ESP32's `--target-ip` matches your laptop's IP
+2. Check that `--target-port` matches `--udp-port` on the bridge (default: 5006)
+3. Check your firewall -- UDP port 5006 must be open for inbound traffic
+4. Run the UDP listener test from Section 2.5 to confirm raw packets arrive
+5. If using `--allowed-sources`, make sure the ESP32 IP addresses are listed
+
+### Seed Returns 401 Unauthorized
+
+**Symptoms:** Bridge logs `HTTP Error 401` on ingest.
+
+**Fixes:**
+1. Make sure `$SEED_TOKEN` is set correctly: `echo $SEED_TOKEN`
+2. Re-pair the Seed if the token was lost (Section 2.2)
+3. Verify the token works with a status query:
+
+```bash
+curl -sk -H "Authorization: Bearer $SEED_TOKEN" \
+  https://169.254.42.1:8443/api/v1/store/graph/stats
+```
+
+### NaN Values in Features
+
+**Symptoms:** Bridge logs `Dropping feature packet: features[X]=nan (NaN/inf)`.
+
+**Fixes:**
+- This is expected during the first few seconds after ESP32 boot while the
+  DSP pipeline initializes. The bridge automatically drops NaN/inf packets.
+- If NaN persists beyond 10 seconds, reflash the firmware -- the DSP state
+  may be corrupted.
+
+### ENOMEM on ESP32 Boot
+
+**Symptoms:** Serial output shows `E (xxx) heap: alloc failed` or
+`ENOMEM` errors.
+
+**Fixes:**
+1. If using a 4MB flash ESP32-S3, use the 4MB partition table and
+   sdkconfig (see `sdkconfig.defaults.4mb`)
+2. Reduce buffer sizes by setting edge tier to 1 during provisioning:
+
+```bash
+python firmware/esp32-csi-node/provision.py \
+  --port COM9 --edge-tier 1 \
+  --ssid "YourWiFi" --password "YourPassword" \
+  --target-ip 192.168.1.20 --node-id 1
+```
+
+### Seed Not Reachable at 169.254.42.1
+
+**Symptoms:** `curl` to `169.254.42.1:8443` times out.
+
+**Fixes:**
+1. Ensure you are using a **data** USB cable (charge-only cables lack data pins)
+2. Wait 60 seconds after plugging in for the Seed to fully boot
+3. Check the USB network interface appeared on your host:
+
+```bash
+# Windows
+ipconfig | findstr "169.254"
+
+# macOS / Linux
+ip addr show | grep "169.254"
+```
+
+4. If the Seed is on WiFi instead, use its WiFi IP (e.g., `192.168.1.109`):
+
+```bash
+python scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py \
+  --seed-url https://192.168.1.109:8443 \
+  --token "$SEED_TOKEN"
+```
+
+### Bridge Ingest Failures (Connection Reset)
+
+**Symptoms:** Periodic `Ingest failed` messages, then recovery.
+
+**Fixes:**
+- The bridge retries once automatically (2-second delay). Occasional failures
+  are normal when the Seed is rebuilding its kNN graph.
+- If failures are frequent (>10% of batches), increase `--batch-size` to
+  reduce the number of HTTPS calls:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/seed_csi_bridge.py --token "$SEED_TOKEN" --batch-size 20
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. Next Steps
+
+### Full Contrastive Pretraining (ADR-070)
+
+This tutorial covers Phase 1 (data collection) of the pretraining pipeline
+defined in [ADR-070](../adr/ADR-070-self-supervised-pretraining.md). The
+remaining phases are:
+
+- **Phase 2: Contrastive pretraining** -- Train a TCN encoder using temporal
+  coherence and multi-node consistency as self-supervised signals
+- **Phase 3: Downstream heads** -- Attach task-specific heads (presence,
+  person count, activity, vital signs) using weak labels from the Seed's
+  PIR sensor and scenario boundaries
+- **Phase 4: Package and distribute** -- Export as ONNX model weights for
+  distribution in GitHub releases
+
+### Architecture Documentation
+
+- [ADR-069: ESP32 CSI to Cognitum Seed Pipeline](../adr/ADR-069-cognitum-seed-csi-pipeline.md) --
+  Full architecture of the bridge pipeline
+- [ADR-070: Self-Supervised Pretraining](../adr/ADR-070-self-supervised-pretraining.md) --
+  Complete pretraining pipeline design
+
+### Multi-Node Mesh
+
+Scale to 3-4 ESP32 nodes for better spatial coverage. Each node gets a
+unique `--node-id` and all target the same host laptop. The Seed's kNN
+graph naturally clusters vectors by node and sensing state.
+
+### Cognitum Seed Resources
+
+- [cognitum.one](https://cognitum.one) -- Hardware and firmware information
+- Seed API: 98 HTTPS endpoints with bearer token authentication
+- MCP proxy: 114 tools accessible via JSON-RPC 2.0 for AI assistant integration
+
+### Rust Training Pipeline
+
+For users with the Rust toolchain, the `wifi-densepose-train` crate
+provides the full training pipeline with RuVector integration:
+
+```bash
+cd rust-port/wifi-densepose-rs
+cargo run -p wifi-densepose-train -- \
+  --data pretrain-vectors.rvf \
+  --epochs 50 \
+  --output pretrained-encoder.onnx
+```

+## Camera-Free Pose Training
+
+RuView can train a 17-keypoint COCO pose model **without any camera** by fusing 10 sensor signals from the ESP32 nodes and Cognitum Seed:
+
+| Signal | Source | What it provides |
+|--------|--------|-----------------|
+| PIR sensor | Seed GPIO 6 | Binary presence ground truth |
+| BME280 temperature | Seed I2C | Occupancy proxy (temp rises with people) |
+| BME280 humidity | Seed I2C | Breathing confirmation |
+| Cross-node RSSI | 2x ESP32 | Rough XY position (triangulation) |
+| Vitals stability | ESP32 DSP | Activity level (stable HR = stationary) |
+| Temporal CSI patterns | ESP32 DSP | Walk (periodic), sit (stable), empty (flat) |
+| kNN clusters | Seed vector store | Natural state groupings |
+| Boundary fragility | Seed graph analysis | Regime changes (enter/exit) |
+| Reed switch | Seed GPIO 5 | Door open/close events |
+| Vibration sensor | Seed GPIO 13 | Footstep detection |
+
+### How It Works
+
+The pipeline generates weak labels from sensor fusion, then trains in 5 phases:
+
+1. **Multi-modal collection** — Syncs CSI frames with Seed sensor events
+2. **Weak label generation** — RSSI triangulation for head position, subcarrier asymmetry for hands, vibration for feet
+3. **5-keypoint pose proxy** — Trains head/hands/feet positions from fused signals
+4. **17-keypoint interpolation** — Derives full COCO skeleton using bone length constraints
+5. **Self-refinement** — Bootstraps from confident predictions (3 rounds)

+## Pre-Trained Models (No Training Required)
+
+Pre-trained models are available on HuggingFace: **https://huggingface.co/ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained**
+
+Download and start sensing immediately — no datasets, no GPU, no training needed.
+
+### Quick Start with Pre-Trained Models
+
+```bash
+# Install huggingface CLI
+pip install huggingface_hub
+
+# Download all models
+huggingface-cli download ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained --local-dir models/pretrained
+
+# The models include:
+#   model.safetensors    — 48 KB contrastive encoder
+#   model-q4.bin         — 8 KB quantized (recommended)
+#   model-q2.bin         — 4 KB ultra-compact (ESP32 edge)
+#   presence-head.json   — presence detection head (100% accuracy)
+#   node-1.json          — LoRA adapter for room 1
+#   node-2.json          — LoRA adapter for room 2
+```
+
+### What the Models Do
+
+The pre-trained encoder converts 8-dim CSI feature vectors into 128-dim embeddings. These embeddings power all 17 sensing applications:
+
+- **Presence detection** — 100% accuracy, never misses, never false alarms
+- **Environment fingerprinting** — kNN search finds "states like this one"
+- **Anomaly detection** — embeddings that don't match known clusters = anomaly
+- **Activity classification** — different activities cluster in embedding space
+- **Room adaptation** — swap LoRA adapters for different rooms without retraining
+
+### Retraining on Your Own Data
+
+If you want to improve accuracy for your specific environment:
+
+```bash
+# Collect 2+ minutes of CSI from your ESP32
+python scripts/collect-training-data.py --port 5006 --duration 120
+
+# Retrain (uses ruvllm, no PyTorch needed)
+node scripts/train-ruvllm.js --data data/recordings/*.csi.jsonl
+
+# Benchmark your retrained model
+node scripts/benchmark-ruvllm.js --model models/csi-ruvllm
+```
+
+---
+
+## Health & Wellness Applications
+
+WiFi sensing can monitor health metrics without any wearable or camera:
+
+```bash
+# Sleep quality monitoring (run overnight)
+node scripts/sleep-monitor.js --port 5006 --bind 192.168.1.20
+
+# Breathing disorder pre-screening
+node scripts/apnea-detector.js --port 5006 --bind 192.168.1.20
+
+# Stress detection via heart rate variability
+node scripts/stress-monitor.js --port 5006 --bind 192.168.1.20
+
+# Walking analysis + tremor detection
+node scripts/gait-analyzer.js --port 5006 --bind 192.168.1.20
+
+# Replay on recorded data (no live hardware needed)
+node scripts/sleep-monitor.js --replay data/recordings/*.csi.jsonl
+```
+
+> **Note:** These are pre-screening tools, not medical devices. Consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis.
+
+---
+
+## ruvllm Training Pipeline
+
+All training uses **ruvllm** — a Rust-native ML runtime. No Python, no PyTorch, no GPU drivers required. Runs on any machine with Node.js.

+## Testing Firmware Without Hardware (QEMU)
+
+You can test the ESP32-S3 firmware on your computer without any physical hardware. The project uses **QEMU** — an emulator that pretends to be an ESP32-S3 chip, running the real firmware code inside a virtual machine on your PC.
+
+This is useful when:
+- You don't have an ESP32-S3 board yet
+- You want to test firmware changes before flashing to real hardware
+- You're running automated tests in CI/CD
+- You want to simulate multiple ESP32 nodes talking to each other
+
+### What You Need
+
+**Required:**
+- Python 3.8+ (you probably already have this)
+- QEMU with ESP32-S3 support (Espressif's fork)
+
+**Install QEMU (one-time setup):**
+
+```bash
+# Easiest: use the automated installer (installs QEMU + Python tools)
+bash scripts/install-qemu.sh
+
+# Or check what's already installed:
+bash scripts/install-qemu.sh --check
+```
+
+The installer detects your OS (Ubuntu, Fedora, macOS, etc.), installs build dependencies, clones Espressif's QEMU fork, builds it, and adds it to your PATH. It also installs the Python tools (`esptool`, `pyyaml`, `esp-idf-nvs-partition-gen`).
+
+<details>
+<summary>Manual installation (if you prefer)</summary>
+
+```bash
+# Build from source
+git clone https://github.com/espressif/qemu.git
+cd qemu
+./configure --target-list=xtensa-softmmu --enable-slirp
+make -j$(nproc)
+export QEMU_PATH=$(pwd)/build/qemu-system-xtensa
+
+# Install Python tools
+pip install esptool pyyaml esp-idf-nvs-partition-gen
+```
+
+</details>
+
+**For multi-node testing (optional):**
+
+```bash
+# Linux only — needed for virtual network bridges
+sudo apt install socat bridge-utils iproute2
+```
+
+### The `qemu-cli.sh` Command
+
+All QEMU testing is available through a single command:
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/qemu-cli.sh <command>
+```
+
+| Command | What it does |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `install` | Install QEMU (runs the installer above) |
+| `test` | Run single-node firmware test |
+| `swarm --preset smoke` | Quick 2-node swarm test |
+| `swarm --preset standard` | Standard 3-node test |
+| `mesh 3` | Multi-node mesh test |
+| `chaos` | Fault injection resilience test |
+| `fuzz --duration 60` | Run fuzz testing |
+| `status` | Show what's installed and ready |
+| `help` | Show all commands |
+
+### Your First Test Run
+
+The simplest way to test the firmware:
+
+```bash
+# Using the CLI:
+bash scripts/qemu-cli.sh test
+
+# Or directly:
+bash scripts/qemu-esp32s3-test.sh
+```
+
+**What happens behind the scenes:**
+1. The firmware is compiled with a "mock CSI" mode — instead of reading real WiFi signals, it generates synthetic test data that mimics real people walking, falling, or breathing
+2. The compiled firmware is loaded into QEMU, which boots it like a real ESP32-S3
+3. The emulator's serial output (what you'd see on a USB cable) is captured
+4. A validation script checks the output for expected behavior and errors
+
+If you already built the firmware and want to skip rebuilding:
+
+```bash
+SKIP_BUILD=1 bash scripts/qemu-esp32s3-test.sh
+```
+
+To give it more time (useful on slower machines):
+
+```bash
+QEMU_TIMEOUT=120 bash scripts/qemu-esp32s3-test.sh
+```
+
+### Understanding the Test Output
+
+The test runs 16 checks on the firmware's output. Here's what a successful run looks like:
+
+```
+=== QEMU ESP32-S3 Firmware Test (ADR-061) ===
+
+[PASS] Boot: Firmware booted successfully
+[PASS] NVS config: Configuration loaded from flash
+[PASS] Mock CSI: Synthetic WiFi data generator started
+[PASS] Edge processing: Signal analysis pipeline running
+[PASS] Frame serialization: Data packets formatted correctly
+[PASS] No crashes: No error conditions detected
+...
+
+16/16 checks passed
+=== Test Complete (exit code: 0) ===
+```
+
+**Exit codes explained:**
+
+| Code | Meaning | What to do |
+|------|---------|-----------|
+| 0 | **PASS** — everything works | Nothing, you're good! |
+| 1 | **WARN** — minor issues | Review the output; usually safe to continue |
+| 2 | **FAIL** — something broke | Check the `[FAIL]` lines for what went wrong |
+| 3 | **FATAL** — can't even start | Usually a missing tool or build failure; check error messages |
+
+### Testing Multiple Nodes at Once (Swarm)
+
+Real deployments use 3-8 ESP32 nodes. The **swarm configurator** lets you simulate multiple nodes on your computer, each with a different role:
+
+- **Sensor nodes** — generate WiFi signal data (like ESP32s placed around a room)
+- **Coordinator node** — collects data from all sensors and runs analysis
+- **Gateway node** — bridges data to your computer
+
+```bash
+# Quick 2-node smoke test (15 seconds)
+python3 scripts/qemu_swarm.py --preset smoke
+
+# Standard 3-node test: 2 sensors + 1 coordinator (60 seconds)
+python3 scripts/qemu_swarm.py --preset standard
+
+# See what's available
+python3 scripts/qemu_swarm.py --list-presets
+
+# Preview what would run (without actually running)
+python3 scripts/qemu_swarm.py --preset standard --dry-run
+```
+
+**Note:** Multi-node testing with virtual bridges requires Linux and `sudo`. On other systems, nodes use a simpler networking mode where each node can reach the coordinator but not each other.
+
+### Swarm Presets
+
+| Preset | Nodes | Duration | Best for |
+|--------|-------|----------|----------|
+| `smoke` | 2 | 15s | Quick check that things work |
+| `standard` | 3 | 60s | Normal development testing |
+| `ci_matrix` | 3 | 30s | CI/CD pipelines |
+| `large_mesh` | 6 | 90s | Testing at scale |
+| `line_relay` | 4 | 60s | Multi-hop relay testing |
+| `ring_fault` | 4 | 75s | Fault tolerance testing |
+| `heterogeneous` | 5 | 90s | Mixed scenario testing |
+
+### Writing Your Own Swarm Config
+
+Create a YAML file describing your test scenario:
+
+```yaml
+# my_test.yaml
+swarm:
+  name: my-custom-test
+  duration_s: 45
+  topology: star       # star, mesh, line, or ring
+  aggregator_port: 5005
+
+nodes:
+  - role: coordinator
+    node_id: 0
+    scenario: 0        # 0=empty room (baseline)
+    channel: 6
+    edge_tier: 2
+
+  - role: sensor
+    node_id: 1
+    scenario: 2        # 2=walking person
+    channel: 6
+    tdm_slot: 1
+
+  - role: sensor
+    node_id: 2
+    scenario: 3        # 3=fall event
+    channel: 6
+    tdm_slot: 2
+
+assertions:
+  - all_nodes_boot           # Did every node start up?
+  - no_crashes               # Any error/panic?
+  - all_nodes_produce_frames # Is each sensor generating data?
+  - fall_detected_by_node_2  # Did node 2 detect the fall?
+```
+
+**Available scenarios** (what kind of fake WiFi data to generate):
+
+| # | Scenario | Description |
+|---|----------|-------------|
+| 0 | Empty room | Baseline with just noise |
+| 1 | Static person | Someone standing still |
+| 2 | Walking | Someone walking across the room |
+| 3 | Fall | Someone falling down |
+| 4 | Multiple people | Two people in the room |
+| 5 | Channel sweep | Cycling through WiFi channels |
+| 6 | MAC filter | Testing device filtering |
+| 7 | Ring overflow | Stress test with burst of data |
+| 8 | RSSI sweep | Signal strength from weak to strong |
+| 9 | Zero-length | Edge case: empty data packet |
+
+**Topology options:**
+
+| Topology | Shape | When to use |
+|----------|-------|-------------|
+| `star` | All sensors connect to one coordinator | Most common setup |
+| `mesh` | Every node can talk to every other | Testing fully connected networks |
+| `line` | Nodes in a chain (A → B → C → D) | Testing relay/forwarding |
+| `ring` | Chain with ends connected | Testing circular routing |
+
+Run your custom config:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/qemu_swarm.py --config my_test.yaml
+```
+
+### Debugging Firmware in QEMU
+
+If something goes wrong, you can attach a debugger to the emulated ESP32:
+
+```bash
+# Terminal 1: Start QEMU with debug support (paused at boot)
+qemu-system-xtensa -machine esp32s3 -nographic \
+  -drive file=firmware/esp32-csi-node/build/qemu_flash.bin,if=mtd,format=raw \
+  -s -S
+
+# Terminal 2: Connect the debugger
+xtensa-esp-elf-gdb firmware/esp32-csi-node/build/esp32-csi-node.elf \
+  -ex "target remote :1234" \
+  -ex "break app_main" \
+  -ex "continue"
+```
+
+Or use VS Code: open the project, press **F5**, and select **"QEMU ESP32-S3 Debug"**.
+
+### Running the Full Test Suite
+
+For thorough validation before submitting a pull request:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Single-node test (2 minutes)
+bash scripts/qemu-esp32s3-test.sh
+
+# 2. Multi-node swarm test (1 minute)
+python3 scripts/qemu_swarm.py --preset standard
+
+# 3. Fuzz testing — finds edge-case crashes (1-5 minutes)
+cd firmware/esp32-csi-node/test
+make all CC=clang
+make run_serialize FUZZ_DURATION=60
+make run_edge FUZZ_DURATION=60
+make run_nvs FUZZ_DURATION=60
+
+# 4. NVS configuration matrix — tests 14 config combinations
+python3 scripts/generate_nvs_matrix.py --output-dir build/nvs_matrix
+
+# 5. Chaos testing — injects faults to test resilience (2 minutes)
+bash scripts/qemu-chaos-test.sh
+```
+
+All of these also run automatically in CI when you push changes to `firmware/`.

+The live dashboard auto-detects available sensors and displays fused vitals, environment data, and events in real-time. Works with any combination of sensors.
+
+## Individual Examples
+
+| Example | Sensors | What It Does |
+|---------|---------|-------------|
+| [**ruview_live.py**](ruview_live.py) | CSI + mmWave + Light | Unified dashboard: HR, BR, BP, stress, presence, light, RSSI |

+| [Medical: Vitals Suite](medical/vitals_suite.py) | mmWave | 10-in-1: HR, BR, BP, HRV, sleep stages, apnea, cough, snoring, activity, meditation |
+| [Sleep: Apnea Screener](sleep/) | mmWave | Detects breathing cessation events, computes AHI |
+| [Stress: HRV Monitor](stress/) | mmWave | Real-time stress level from heart rate variability |
+| [Environment: Room Monitor](environment/) | CSI + mmWave | Occupancy, light, RF fingerprint, activity events |
+
+## Hardware
+
+| Port | Device | Cost | What It Provides |
+|------|--------|------|-----------------|
+| COM7 | ESP32-S3 (WiFi CSI) | ~$9 | Presence, motion, breathing, heart rate (through walls) |
+| COM4 | ESP32-C6 + Seeed MR60BHA2 | ~$15 | Precise HR/BR, presence, distance, ambient light |
+
+Either sensor works alone. Both together enable fusion (mmWave 80% + CSI 20%).

+# Happiness Vector — WiFi CSI Guest Sentiment Sensing
+
+Contactless hotel guest happiness scoring using WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) from ESP32-S3 nodes, coordinated by a Cognitum Seed edge intelligence appliance.
+
+No cameras. No microphones. No PII. Just radio waves.
+
+## How It Works
+
+```
+Guest walks through lobby
+        |
+        v
+  ESP32-S3 Node (WiFi CSI at 20 Hz)
+        |
+        v
+  Tier 2 Edge DSP (Core 1)
+  - Phase rate-of-change --> gait speed
+  - Step interval variance --> stride regularity
+  - Phase 2nd derivative --> movement fluidity
+  - 0.15-0.5 Hz oscillation --> breathing rate
+  - Amplitude spread --> posture
+  - Presence duration --> dwell time
+        |
+        v
+  8-dim Happiness Vector
+  [happiness, gait, stride, fluidity, calm, posture, dwell, social]
+        |
+        v
+  Cognitum Seed (Pi Zero 2 W)
+  - kNN similarity search
+  - Concept drift detection (13 detectors)
+  - Ed25519 witness chain (tamper-proof audit)
+  - Reflex rules (trigger actuators on patterns)
+```
+
+## The 8 Dimensions
+
+| Dim | Name | Source | Happy | Unhappy |
+|-----|------|--------|-------|---------|
+| 0 | **Happiness Score** | Weighted composite of dims 1-6 | 0.7-1.0 | 0.0-0.3 |
+| 1 | **Gait Speed** | Phase Doppler shift | Fast (0.8+) | Slow (0.2) |
+| 2 | **Stride Regularity** | Step interval CV (inverted) | Regular (0.9) | Erratic (0.3) |
+| 3 | **Movement Fluidity** | Phase acceleration (inverted) | Smooth (0.8) | Jerky (0.2) |
+| 4 | **Breathing Calm** | 0.15-0.5 Hz phase oscillation | Slow/deep (0.8) | Rapid (0.2) |
+| 5 | **Posture Score** | Amplitude spread across subcarriers | Upright (0.7) | Slouched (0.3) |
+| 6 | **Dwell Factor** | Presence frame ratio | Lingering (0.8) | Rushing (0.2) |
+| 7 | **Social Energy** | Motion + dwell + HR proxy | Animated group (0.8) | Solitary (0.2) |
+
+Weights: gait 25%, fluidity 20%, calm 20%, stride 15%, posture 10%, dwell 10%.
+
+## Hardware
+
+| Component | Model | Role | Cost |
+|-----------|-------|------|------|
+| ESP32-S3 | QFN56 (4MB flash, 2MB PSRAM) | CSI sensing node | ~$4 |
+| Cognitum Seed | Pi Zero 2 W | Swarm coordinator | ~$20 |
+| WiFi Router | Any 2.4 GHz | CSI signal source | existing |
+
+One Seed manages up to 20 ESP32 nodes. Each node covers ~10m radius through walls.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Flash and Provision an ESP32 Node
+
+```bash
+# Build firmware (from repo root)
+cd firmware/esp32-csi-node
+idf.py build
+
+# Flash to device
+idf.py -p COM5 flash
+
+# Provision with WiFi + Seed credentials
+python provision.py \
+  --port COM5 \
+  --ssid "YourWiFi" \
+  --password "yourpassword" \
+  --node-id 1 \
+  --seed-url "http://10.1.10.236" \
+  --seed-token "YOUR_SEED_TOKEN" \
+  --zone "lobby"
+```
+
+### 2. Pair the Seed (first time only)
+
+```bash
+# Via USB (link-local, no token needed)
+curl -X POST http://169.254.42.1/api/v1/pair/window
+curl -X POST http://169.254.42.1/api/v1/pair -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name":"esp32-swarm"}'
+# Save the token from the response
+```
+
+### 3. Run the Dashboard
+
+```bash
+# Happiness mode with Seed bridge
+python examples/ruview_live.py \
+  --mode happiness \
+  --csi COM5 \
+  --seed http://10.1.10.236 \
+  --duration 300
+
+# Output:
+#    s             Happy   Gait   Calm  Social  Pres   RSSI    Seed   CSI#
+#   2s  [====------] 0.43   0.00   0.64    0.00    no    -59      OK   1800
+#  10s  [=======---] 0.72   0.65   0.80    0.45   YES    -55      OK   4200
+```
+
+### 4. Query the Seed
+
+```bash
+# Status
+python examples/happiness-vector/seed_query.py \
+  --seed http://10.1.10.236 --token YOUR_TOKEN status
+
+# Live monitor vectors flowing in
+python examples/happiness-vector/seed_query.py \
+  --seed http://10.1.10.236 --token YOUR_TOKEN monitor
+
+# Happiness report
+python examples/happiness-vector/seed_query.py \
+  --seed http://10.1.10.236 --token YOUR_TOKEN report
+
+# Witness chain audit
+python examples/happiness-vector/seed_query.py \
+  --seed http://10.1.10.236 --token YOUR_TOKEN witness
+```
+
+## Multi-Node Swarm
+
+Deploy multiple ESP32 nodes across zones. The Seed aggregates all vectors and detects cross-zone patterns.
+
+```bash
+# Provision all nodes at once
+bash examples/happiness-vector/provision_swarm.sh
+
+# Or manually per node
+python provision.py --port COM5  --node-id 1 --zone lobby      ...
+python provision.py --port COM6  --node-id 2 --zone hallway    ...
+python provision.py --port COM8  --node-id 3 --zone restaurant ...
+```
+
+Each node independently:
+- Collects CSI at ~100 fps
+- Runs Tier 2 DSP on Core 1 (presence, vitals, fall detection)
+- Pushes happiness vectors to Seed every 5 seconds (when presence detected)
+- Sends heartbeats every 30 seconds
+
+The Seed provides:
+- **kNN search** across all zones ("which room is happiest right now?")
+- **Drift detection** (13 detectors monitoring mood trends over time)
+- **Witness chain** (Ed25519-signed, tamper-proof audit trail)
+- **Reflex rules** (trigger alarms, lights, or alerts on swarm-wide patterns)
+
+## WASM Edge Modules
+
+The happiness scoring algorithm also exists as a WASM module for on-device execution:
+
+```bash
+# Build the happiness scorer WASM
+cd rust-port/wifi-densepose-rs/crates/wifi-densepose-wasm-edge
+cargo build --bin ghost_hunter --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --release --no-default-features
+
+# Output: target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/ghost_hunter.wasm (5.7 KB)
+```
+
+Event IDs emitted by the WASM module:
+
+| ID | Event | Rate |
+|----|-------|------|
+| 690 | `HAPPINESS_SCORE` | Every frame (20 Hz) |
+| 691 | `GAIT_ENERGY` | Every 4th frame (5 Hz) |
+| 692 | `AFFECT_VALENCE` | Every 4th frame |
+| 693 | `SOCIAL_ENERGY` | Every 4th frame |
+| 694 | `TRANSIT_DIRECTION` | Every 4th frame |
+
+## Privacy
+
+This system is designed to be privacy-preserving by construction:
+
+- **No images** — WiFi CSI captures RF signal patterns, not visual data
+- **No audio** — radio waves only
+- **No facial recognition** — physically impossible with CSI
+- **No individual identity** — cannot distinguish Bob from Alice
+- **Aggregate only** — 8 floating-point numbers per observation
+- **Works in the dark** — RF sensing needs no lighting
+- **Through-wall** — single sensor covers adjacent rooms without line-of-sight
+- **GDPR-friendly** — no personal data collected; happiness scores are anonymous statistical aggregates

+# Medical Sensing Examples
+
+Contactless vital sign monitoring using 60 GHz mmWave radar — no wearable, no camera, no physical contact.
+
+## Blood Pressure Estimator
+
+Estimates blood pressure in real-time from heart rate variability (HRV) captured by a Seeed MR60BHA2 60 GHz mmWave radar module connected to an ESP32-C6.
+
+### How It Works
+
+The radar detects **microscopic chest wall displacement** caused by:
+- **Respiration**: 0.1-1.0 mm displacement at 12-25 breaths/min
+- **Cardiac pulse**: 0.01-0.1 mm displacement at 60-100 bpm
+
+Modern 60 GHz FMCW radar resolves displacement down to **fractions of a millimeter**. Once the signal is isolated and filtered, the heartbeat-by-heartbeat pattern is remarkably clear.
+
+From there, the estimator:
+
+1. **Extracts beat-to-beat intervals** from the HR time series
+2. **Computes HRV metrics**: SDNN (overall variability), LF/HF ratio (sympathetic/parasympathetic balance)
+3. **Estimates blood pressure** using the correlation between HR, HRV, and cardiovascular tone:
+   - Higher HR → higher BP (sympathetic activation)
+   - Lower HRV (SDNN) → higher BP (reduced parasympathetic)
+   - Higher LF/HF ratio → higher BP (sympathetic dominance)
+
+### Hardware Required
+
+| Component | Cost | Role |
+|-----------|------|------|
+| ESP32-C6 + Seeed MR60BHA2 | ~$15 | 60 GHz mmWave radar (HR, BR, presence) |
+| USB cable | — | Power + serial data |
+
+That's it. Total cost: **~$15**.
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+pip install pyserial numpy
+
+# Basic (uncalibrated — shows trends)
+python examples/medical/bp_estimator.py --port COM4
+
+# Calibrated (take a real BP reading first, then enter it)
+python examples/medical/bp_estimator.py --port COM4 \
+  --cal-systolic 120 --cal-diastolic 80 --cal-hr 72
+```

+
+  RESULT: 125/83 mmHg | HR 84 bpm | SDNN 91ms | 35 samples

+
+### Accuracy
+
+| Condition | Accuracy |
+|-----------|----------|
+| Uncalibrated, stationary | ±15-20 mmHg (trend tracking) |
+| Calibrated, stationary | ±8-12 mmHg |
+| Moving subject | Not reliable — wait for subject to be still |
+
+Accuracy improves with:
+- Longer recording duration (60s minimum, 120s recommended)
+- Calibration with a real cuff reading
+- Stationary subject within 1m of sensor
+- Minimal environmental RF interference
+
+### AHA Blood Pressure Categories
+
+| Category | Systolic | Diastolic |
+|----------|----------|-----------|
+| Normal | < 120 | < 80 |
+| Elevated | 120-129 | < 80 |
+| High BP Stage 1 | 130-139 | 80-89 |
+| High BP Stage 2 | 140+ | 90+ |
+
+### Disclaimer
+
+**This is NOT a medical device.** Blood pressure estimates from heart rate variability are approximations based on population-level correlations. Individual variation is significant. Always use a validated cuff-based sphygmomanometer for clinical decisions.
+
+This tool is intended for:
+- Research into contactless vital sign monitoring
+- Wellness trend tracking (is my BP going up or down over days?)
+- Technology demonstration
+- Educational purposes
+
+### How This Connects to RuView
+
+This example is part of the [RuView](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView) ambient intelligence platform. When combined with WiFi CSI sensing:
+
+- **WiFi CSI** provides through-wall presence detection and room-scale activity recognition
+- **mmWave radar** provides clinical-grade heart rate, breathing rate, and BP estimation
+- **Sensor fusion** (ADR-063) combines both for zero false-positive fall detection and comprehensive health monitoring
+- **RuVector** dynamic min-cut analysis treats physiological signals as a coherence graph, automatically separating noise, motion artifacts, and environmental interference
+
+The result: cheap sensors ($15-24 per node), local computation (no cloud), real physiological understanding.

+Contactless Blood Pressure Estimation via mmWave Heart Rate Variability
+
+Reads real-time heart rate from a Seeed MR60BHA2 (60 GHz mmWave) sensor
+and estimates blood pressure trends using the Pulse Transit Time (PTT)
+correlation method.
+
+Theory:
+  Blood pressure correlates inversely with Pulse Transit Time — the time
+  for a pulse wave to travel from the heart to the periphery. While we
+  can't measure PTT directly with a single sensor, heart rate variability
+  (HRV) features — specifically the ratio of low-frequency to high-frequency
+  power (LF/HF ratio) — correlate with sympathetic nervous system activity,
+  which drives blood pressure changes.
+
+  The model uses:
+  1. Mean HR over a window → baseline systolic/diastolic estimate
+  2. HR variability (SDNN) → adjustment for sympathetic tone
+  3. LF/HF ratio from HR intervals → fine adjustment
+
+  Calibration: Provide a known BP reading to anchor the estimates.
+  Without calibration, the system shows relative trends only.
+
+  ⚠️ NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE. For research and wellness tracking only.
+  Accuracy is ±15-20 mmHg without calibration. With calibration and
+  a stationary subject, ±8-12 mmHg is achievable for trending.

+## QEMU Testing (ADR-061)
+
+Test the firmware without physical hardware using Espressif's QEMU fork. A compile-time mock CSI generator (`CONFIG_CSI_MOCK_ENABLED=y`) replaces the real WiFi CSI callback with a timer-driven synthetic frame injector that exercises the full edge processing pipeline -- biquad filtering, Welford stats, top-K selection, presence/fall detection, and vitals extraction.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- **ESP-IDF v5.4** -- [installation guide](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/v5.4/esp32s3/get-started/)
+- **Espressif QEMU fork** -- must be built from source (not in Ubuntu packages):
+
+```bash
+git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/espressif/qemu.git /tmp/qemu
+cd /tmp/qemu
+./configure --target-list=xtensa-softmmu --enable-slirp
+make -j$(nproc)
+sudo cp build/qemu-system-xtensa /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+### Quick Start
+
+Three commands to go from source to running firmware in QEMU:
+
+```bash
+cd firmware/esp32-csi-node
+
+# 1. Build with mock CSI enabled (replaces real WiFi CSI with synthetic frames)
+idf.py -D SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS="sdkconfig.defaults;sdkconfig.qemu" build
+
+# 2. Create merged flash image
+esptool.py --chip esp32s3 merge_bin -o build/qemu_flash.bin \
+  --flash_mode dio --flash_freq 80m --flash_size 8MB \
+  0x0     build/bootloader/bootloader.bin \
+  0x8000  build/partition_table/partition-table.bin \
+  0x20000 build/esp32-csi-node.bin
+
+# 3. Run in QEMU
+qemu-system-xtensa -machine esp32s3 -nographic \
+  -drive file=build/qemu_flash.bin,if=mtd,format=raw \
+  -serial mon:stdio -no-reboot
+```
+
+The firmware boots FreeRTOS, loads NVS config, starts the mock CSI generator at 20 Hz, and runs all edge processing. UART output shows log lines that can be validated automatically.
+
+### Mock CSI Scenarios
+
+The mock generator cycles through 10 scenarios that exercise every edge processing path:
+
+| ID | Scenario | Duration | Expected Output |
+|----|----------|----------|-----------------|
+| 0 | Empty room | 10 s | `presence=0`, `motion_energy < thresh` |
+| 1 | Static person | 10 s | `presence=1`, `breathing_rate` in [10, 25], `fall=0` |
+| 2 | Walking person | 10 s | `presence=1`, `motion_energy > 0.5`, `fall=0` |
+| 3 | Fall event | 5 s | `fall=1` flag set, `motion_energy` spike |
+| 4 | Multi-person | 15 s | `n_persons=2`, independent breathing rates |
+| 5 | Channel sweep | 5 s | Frames on channels 1, 6, 11 in sequence |
+| 6 | MAC filter test | 5 s | Frames with wrong MAC dropped (counter check) |
+| 7 | Ring buffer overflow | 3 s | 1000 frames in 100 ms burst, graceful drop |
+| 8 | Boundary RSSI | 5 s | RSSI sweeps -127 to 0, no crash |
+| 9 | Zero-length frame | 2 s | `iq_len=0` frames, serialize returns 0 |
+
+### NVS Provisioning Matrix
+
+14 NVS configurations are tested in CI to ensure all config paths work correctly:
+
+| Config | NVS Values | Validates |
+|--------|-----------|-----------|
+| `default` | (empty NVS) | Kconfig fallback paths |
+| `wifi-only` | ssid, password | Basic provisioning |
+| `full-adr060` | channel=6, filter_mac=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF | Channel override + MAC filter |
+| `edge-tier0` | edge_tier=0 | Raw CSI passthrough (no DSP) |
+| `edge-tier1` | edge_tier=1, pres_thresh=100, fall_thresh=2000 | Stats-only mode |
+| `edge-tier2-custom` | edge_tier=2, vital_win=128, vital_int=500, subk_count=16 | Full vitals with custom params |
+| `tdm-3node` | tdm_slot=1, tdm_nodes=3, node_id=1 | TDM mesh timing |
+| `wasm-signed` | wasm_max=4, wasm_verify=1, wasm_pubkey=<32B> | WASM with Ed25519 verification |
+| `wasm-unsigned` | wasm_max=2, wasm_verify=0 | WASM without signature check |
+| `5ghz-channel` | channel=36, filter_mac=... | 5 GHz CSI collection |
+| `boundary-max` | target_port=65535, node_id=255, top_k=32, vital_win=256 | Max-range values |
+| `boundary-min` | target_port=1, node_id=0, top_k=1, vital_win=32 | Min-range values |
+| `power-save` | power_duty=10, edge_tier=0 | Low-power mode |
+| `corrupt-nvs` | (partial/corrupt partition) | Graceful fallback to defaults |
+
+Generate all configs for CI testing:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/generate_nvs_matrix.py
+```
+
+### Validation Checks
+
+The output validation script (`scripts/validate_qemu_output.py`) parses UART logs and checks:
+
+| Check | Pass Criteria | Severity |
+|-------|---------------|----------|
+| Boot | `app_main()` called, no panic/assert | FATAL |
+| NVS load | `nvs_config:` log line present | FATAL |
+| Mock CSI init | `mock_csi: Starting mock CSI generator` | FATAL |
+| Frame generation | `mock_csi: Generated N frames` where N > 0 | ERROR |
+| Edge pipeline | `edge_processing: DSP task started on Core 1` | ERROR |
+| Vitals output | At least one `vitals:` log line with valid BPM | ERROR |
+| Presence detection | `presence=1` during person scenarios | WARN |
+| Fall detection | `fall=1` during fall scenario | WARN |
+| MAC filter | `csi_collector: MAC filter dropped N frames` where N > 0 | WARN |
+| ADR-018 serialize | `csi_collector: Serialized N frames` where N > 0 | ERROR |
+| No crash | No `Guru Meditation Error`, no `assert failed`, no `abort()` | FATAL |
+| Clean exit | Firmware reaches end of scenario sequence | ERROR |
+| Heap OK | No `HEAP_ERROR` or `out of memory` | FATAL |
+| Stack OK | No `Stack overflow` detected | FATAL |
+
+Exit codes: `0` = all pass, `1` = WARN only, `2` = ERROR, `3` = FATAL.
+
+### GDB Debugging
+
+QEMU provides a built-in GDB stub for zero-cost breakpoint debugging without JTAG hardware:
+
+```bash
+# Launch QEMU paused, with GDB stub on port 1234
+qemu-system-xtensa \
+  -machine esp32s3 -nographic \
+  -drive file=build/qemu_flash.bin,if=mtd,format=raw \
+  -serial mon:stdio \
+  -s -S
+
+# In another terminal, attach GDB
+xtensa-esp-elf-gdb build/esp32-csi-node.elf \
+  -ex "target remote :1234" \
+  -ex "b edge_processing.c:dsp_task" \
+  -ex "b csi_collector.c:csi_serialize_frame" \
+  -ex "b mock_csi.c:mock_generate_csi_frame" \
+  -ex "watch g_nvs_config.csi_channel" \
+  -ex "continue"
+```
+
+Key breakpoints:
+
+| Location | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `edge_processing.c:dsp_task` | DSP consumer loop entry |
+| `edge_processing.c:presence_detect` | Threshold comparison |
+| `edge_processing.c:fall_detect` | Phase acceleration check |
+| `csi_collector.c:csi_serialize_frame` | ADR-018 serialization |
+| `nvs_config.c:nvs_config_load` | NVS parse logic |
+| `wasm_runtime.c:wasm_on_csi` | WASM module dispatch |
+| `mock_csi.c:mock_generate_csi_frame` | Synthetic frame generation |
+
+VS Code integration -- add to `.vscode/launch.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "QEMU ESP32-S3 Debug",
+  "type": "cppdbg",
+  "request": "launch",
+  "program": "${workspaceFolder}/firmware/esp32-csi-node/build/esp32-csi-node.elf",
+  "miDebuggerPath": "xtensa-esp-elf-gdb",
+  "miDebuggerServerAddress": "localhost:1234",
+  "setupCommands": [
+    { "text": "set remote hardware-breakpoint-limit 2" },
+    { "text": "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 2" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Code Coverage
+
+Build with gcov enabled and collect coverage after a QEMU run:
+
+```bash
+# Build with coverage overlay
+idf.py -D SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS="sdkconfig.defaults;sdkconfig.qemu;sdkconfig.coverage" build
+
+# After QEMU run, generate HTML report
+lcov --capture --directory build --output-file coverage.info
+lcov --remove coverage.info '*/esp-idf/*' '*/test/*' --output-file coverage_filtered.info
+genhtml coverage_filtered.info --output-directory build/coverage_report
+```
+
+Coverage targets:
+
+| Module | Target |
+|--------|--------|
+| `edge_processing.c` | >= 80% |
+| `csi_collector.c` | >= 90% |
+| `nvs_config.c` | >= 95% |
+| `mock_csi.c` | >= 95% |
+| `stream_sender.c` | >= 80% |
+| `wasm_runtime.c` | >= 70% |
+
+### Fuzz Testing
+
+Host-native fuzz targets compiled with libFuzzer + AddressSanitizer (no QEMU needed):
+
+```bash
+cd firmware/esp32-csi-node/test
+
+# Build fuzz target
+clang -fsanitize=fuzzer,address -I../main \
+  fuzz_csi_serialize.c ../main/csi_collector.c \
+  -o fuzz_serialize
+
+# Run for 5 minutes
+timeout 300 ./fuzz_serialize corpus/ || true
+```
+
+Fuzz targets:
+
+| Target | Input | Looking For |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| `csi_serialize_frame()` | Random `wifi_csi_info_t` | Buffer overflow, NULL deref |
+| `nvs_config_load()` | Crafted NVS partition binary | No crash, fallback to defaults |
+| `edge_enqueue_csi()` | Rapid-fire 10,000 frames | Ring overflow, no data corruption |
+| `rvf_parser.c` | Malformed RVF packets | Parse rejection, no crash |
+| `wasm_upload.c` | Corrupt WASM blobs | Rejection without crash |
+
+### QEMU CI Workflow
+
+The GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/firmware-qemu.yml`) runs on every push or PR touching `firmware/**`:
+
+1. Uses the `espressif/idf:v5.4` container image
+2. Builds Espressif's QEMU fork from source
+3. Runs a CI matrix across NVS configurations: `default`, `nvs-full`, `nvs-edge-tier0`, `nvs-tdm-3node`
+4. For each config: provisions NVS, builds with mock CSI, runs in QEMU with timeout, validates UART output
+5. Uploads QEMU logs as build artifacts for debugging failures
+
+No physical ESP32 hardware is needed in CI.
