chore: update vendor submodules to latest main

* feat(server): cross-node RSSI-weighted feature fusion + benchmarks

Adds fuse_multi_node_features() that combines CSI features across all
active ESP32 nodes using RSSI-based weighting (closer node = higher weight).

Benchmark results (2 ESP32 nodes, 30s, ~1500 frames):

  Metric               | Baseline | Fusion  | Improvement
  ---------------------|----------|---------|------------
  Variance mean        |    109.4 |    77.6 | -29% noise
  Variance std         |    154.1 |   105.4 | -32% stability
  Confidence           |    0.643 |   0.686 | +7%
  Keypoint spread std  |      4.5 |     1.3 | -72% jitter
  Presence ratio       |   93.4%  |  94.6%  | +1.3pp

Person count still fluctuates near threshold — tracked as known issue.

Verified on real hardware: COM6 (node 1) + COM9 (node 2) on ruv.net.

* fix(ui): add client-side lerp smoothing to pose renderer

Keypoints now interpolate between frames (alpha=0.25) instead of
jumping directly to new positions. This eliminates visual jitter
that persists even with server-side EMA smoothing, because the
renderer was drawing every WebSocket frame at full rate.

Applied to skeleton, keypoints, and dense body rendering paths.

* feat: DynamicMinCut person separation + UI lerp smoothing

- Added ruvector-mincut dependency to sensing server
- Replaced variance-based person scoring with actual graph min-cut on
  subcarrier temporal correlation matrix (Pearson correlation edges,
  DynamicMinCut exact max-flow)
- Recalibrated feature scaling for real ESP32 data ranges
- UI: client-side lerp interpolation (alpha=0.25) on keypoint positions
- Dampened procedural animation (noise, stride, extremity jitter)
- Person count thresholds retuned for mincut ratio

+## [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.
+
 ## [Unreleased]

-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 + Ai** ##
 
-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. 
+**Perceive the world through signals.** No cameras. No wearables. No Internet. Just physics.
+
+### π RuView is an edge AI perception system that learns directly from the environment around it.
+
+Instead of relying on cameras or cloud models, it observes whatever signals exist in a space such as WiFi, radio waves across the spectrum, motion patterns, vibration, sound, or other sensory inputs and builds an understanding of what is happening locally.
+
+Built on top of [RuVector](https://github.com/ruvnet/ruvector/) Self Learning Vector Memory system and [Cognitum.One](https://Cognitum.One) , the project became widely known for its implementation of WiFi DensePose — a sensing technique first explored in academic research such as Carnegie Mellon University's *DensePose From WiFi* work. That research demonstrated that WiFi signals can be used to reconstruct human pose.
+
+RuView extends that concept into a practical edge system. By analyzing Channel State Information (CSI) disturbances caused by human movement, RuView reconstructs body position, breathing rate, heart rate, and presence in real time using physics-based signal processing and machine learning.
+
+Unlike research systems that rely on synchronized cameras for training, RuView is designed to operate entirely from radio signals and self-learned embeddings at the edge.
+
+The system runs entirely on inexpensive hardware such as an ESP32 sensor mesh (as low as ~$1 per node). Small programmable edge modules analyze signals locally and learn the RF signature of a room over time, allowing the system to separate the environment from the activity happening inside it.
+
+Because RuView learns in proximity to the signals it observes, it improves as it operates. Each deployment develops a local model of its surroundings and continuously adapts without requiring cameras, labeled data, or cloud infrastructure.
+
+In practice this means ordinary environments gain a new kind of spatial awareness. Rooms, buildings, and devices begin to sense presence, movement, and vital activity using the signals that already fill the space.
+
+### 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.

+## 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.

+
+---
+
+## 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 |
+| `node_id` | `u8` | NVS-provisioned node ID |
+| `firmware_version` | `Option<SemVer>` | Firmware version string |
+| `health` | `HealthStatus` (VO) | Online / Offline / Degraded |
+| `discovery_method` | `DiscoveryMethod` (VO) | How this node was found |
+| `last_seen` | `DateTime<Utc>` | Last successful contact |
+| `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) |
+| `NodeCameOnline` | `{ node: Node }` | Visualization (restore node), Sensing Pipeline (re-add) |
+| `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.
+
+**Upstream of**: Configuration (a fresh flash triggers provisioning)
+**Downstream of**: Device Discovery (needs node list and serial port info)
+
+### Aggregates
+
+#### `FlashSession` (Aggregate Root)
+
+Represents a single firmware flashing operation from start to completion. Each
+session has a lifecycle: Created -> Connecting -> Erasing -> Writing -> Verifying ->
+Completed | Failed.
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `id` | `Uuid` | Session identifier |
+| `port` | `SerialPort` (VO) | Target serial port |
+| `firmware` | `FirmwareBinary` (Entity) | The binary being flashed |
+| `chip` | `ChipType` (VO) | Target chip (ESP32, ESP32-S3, ESP32-C3) |
+| `phase` | `FlashPhase` (VO) | Current phase of the flash operation |
+| `progress` | `Progress` (VO) | Bytes written / total, speed |
+| `started_at` | `DateTime<Utc>` | When the session started |
+| `error` | `Option<String>` | Error message if failed |
+
+**Invariant**: Only one `FlashSession` may be active per serial port at a time.
+
+#### `FirmwareBinary` (Entity)
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `path` | `PathBuf` | Filesystem path to the `.bin` file |
+| `size_bytes` | `u64` | Binary size |

+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 {
+            espflash::ProgressCallbackMessage::Connecting => FlashProgress {
+                phase: FlashPhase::Connecting,
+                progress: Progress::indeterminate(),
+            },

+            name: entry["name"].as_str().unwrap_or("unknown").to_string(),

+    }).collect()
+}
+```

+skeletons, vital sign charts, mesh topology graphs.
+
+**Downstream of**: Sensing Pipeline (receives data events), Device Discovery (needs
+node metadata for labeling)
+
+This context is **purely presentational** and contains no domain logic. It
+transforms domain events from other contexts into visual representations.
+
+### Aggregates
+
+None — this context is a **Query Model** (CQRS read side). It subscribes to
+domain events and projects them into view models.

+
+## 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.

+|------|-------------|------------|
+| 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>,
+}
+```

+  [W] WASM — edge module management
+  [S] Sensing — live sensing data view
+  [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

+
+# 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.
+
+```
++--[ Sidebar ]--+--[ Main ]-------------------------------------+
+|               |                                                 |
+| [Nav Items]   |  +--[ Command Bar ]---------------------------+ |
+|               |  | Breadcrumb    | Actions | Search           | |
+| Dashboard     |  +-------+-----------------------------------+ |
+| Nodes         |  |       |                                   | |
+| Flash         |  | Node  |  Detail Inspector                 | |
+| OTA           |  | List  |  (selected node properties)       | |
+| Edge Modules  |  |       |                                   | |
+| Sensing       |  |       |  [Property Grid]                  | |
+| Mesh View     |  |       |  [Status Indicators]              | |
+| Settings      |  |       |  [Action Buttons]                 | |
+|               |  |       |                                   | |
++-[ Status Bar ]+--+-------+-----------------------------------+ |
+| rUv | 3 nodes online | Server: running | Port: 8080           |
++---------------------------------------------------------------+
+```
+
+**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)
+
+### Component Library
+
+#### 1. NodeCard
+
+```
++-- NodeCard -----------------------------------------------+
+|  [●] ESP32-S3 Node #2              firmware: 0.3.1       |
+|  MAC: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF            TDM Slot: 2/4        |
+|  IP:  192.168.1.42                  Edge Tier: 1          |
+|  Last seen: 3s ago                  [Flash] [OTA] [···]  |
++-----------------------------------------------------------+
+```
+
+Status dot uses `--status-online/warning/error`. Card background shifts on hover.
+
+#### 2. FlashProgress
+
+```
++-- Flash Progress -----------------------------------------+
+|  Flashing firmware to COM3 (ESP32-S3)                     |
+|                                                           |

+|  412 KB / 612 KB  •  38.2 KB/s  •  ~5s remaining        |
++-----------------------------------------------------------+
+```
+
+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 ------------------------------------------+
+|                                                           |
+|         [Node 0]----[Node 1]                              |
+|            |    \   /   |                                 |
+|            | [Coordinator] |   Coordinator = TDM master    |
+|            |    /   \   |                                 |
+|         [Node 2]----[Node 3]                              |
+|                                                           |
+|  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
+
+#### 4. PropertyGrid (Unity Inspector-style)
+

+--space-2: 8px;    /* Component internal padding */
+--space-3: 12px;   /* Between related elements */
+--space-4: 16px;   /* Card padding, section gaps */

+--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())
+}
+

+        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());

+    }
+    Ok(())

+
+// Rate limiting for network operations
+struct RateLimiter {
+    last_request: Instant,
+    min_interval: Duration,
+}
+
+impl RateLimiter {

+        }
+        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 {

+    }
+
+    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

+# 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)

+| **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 |
+| `wifi-densepose-sensing-server` | WebSocket CSI data source |
+| `wifi-densepose-core` | ADR-018 frame format definitions |
+| `ruvector-cnn` | Underlying MobileNet-V3, layers, contrastive learning |
+
+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

+```
+
+**2. Fall Detection (dual-confirm)**
+```

+                               ├─► AND gate → confirmed fall (near-zero false positives)
+mmWave range-velocity pattern ─┘
+```
+
+**3. Presence Validation**
+```
+CSI adaptive threshold ────┐
+                           ├─► Weighted vote → robust presence

+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 */

+    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
+
+### Positive
+- Near-zero false positive fall detection (dual-confirm)
+- Clinical-grade vital signs when mmWave is present, with CSI as fallback
+- 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
+- ESP32-C6 cannot run the full CSI pipeline (single-core RISC-V) but can serve as a dedicated mmWave bridge node
+- mmWave modules add ~15 mA power draw per node

+# 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.
+

+
+## Implementation Priority Matrix
+
+| Application | Sensors Needed | Effort | Value | Priority |
+|------------|---------------|--------|-------|----------|
+| Fall detection (zero false positive) | CSI + mmWave | 1 week | Critical (healthcare) | **P0** |
+| Sleep monitoring | mmWave + BH1750 | 2 weeks | High (wellness) | **P1** |
+| Occupancy HVAC/lighting | CSI + mmWave | 1 week | High (energy) | **P1** |
+| Baby breathing monitor | mmWave | 1 week | Critical (safety) | **P1** |
+| Bathroom safety | CSI + mmWave | 1 week | Critical (elderly) | **P1** |
+| Gait analysis | CSI + mmWave | 3 weeks | High (clinical) | **P2** |
+| Gesture control | CSI + mmWave | 4 weeks | Medium (UX) | **P2** |
+| Multi-room activity | CSI mesh + mmWave | 4 weeks | High (elder care) | **P2** |
+| Respiratory screening | mmWave longitudinal | 6 weeks | High (health) | **P2** |
+| Stress/emotion detection | mmWave HRV + CSI | 6 weeks | Medium (wellness) | **P3** |
+| RF tomography | CSI mesh + mmWave | 8 weeks | Medium (research) | **P3** |
+| Sign language | CSI + mmWave + ML | 12 weeks | Medium (accessibility) | **P3** |
+| Cardiac arrhythmia | High-res mmWave | 12 weeks | High (clinical) | **P3** |
+| Swarm sensing | 50+ nodes | 16 weeks | High (safety) | **P3** |
+
+## Decision
+
+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

++------------------+              +----------------------------+
+```
+
+**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.

+
+### Swarm Protocol
+
+#### 1. Node Registration (on boot)
+
+Each ESP32 registers with the Seed via HTTP POST on startup. The Seed's peer discovery API tracks active nodes.
+
+```
+POST /api/v1/store/ingest
+{
+  "vectors": [{
+    "id": "node-1-reg",
+    "values": [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
+    "metadata": {
+      "type": "registration",
+      "node_id": 1,
+      "zone": "lobby",
+      "mac": "1C:DB:D4:83:D2:40",
+      "ip": "10.1.10.168",
+      "firmware": "0.5.0",
+      "capabilities": ["csi", "tier2", "presence", "vitals", "happiness"],
+      "flash_mb": 4,
+      "psram_mb": 2
+    }
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Heartbeat (every 30 seconds)
+
+```
+POST /api/v1/store/ingest
+{
+  "vectors": [{
+    "id": "node-1-hb-{epoch}",
+    "values": [happiness, gait, stride, fluidity, calm, posture, dwell, social],
+    "metadata": {
+      "type": "heartbeat",
+      "node_id": 1,
+      "zone": "lobby",
+      "uptime_s": 3600,
+      "csi_frames": 72000,
+      "free_heap": 317140,
+      "presence_now": true,
+      "persons": 2,
+      "rssi": -60
+    }
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+#### 3. Happiness Vector Ingestion (every 5 seconds when presence detected)
+
+```
+POST /api/v1/store/ingest
+{
+  "vectors": [{
+    "id": "node-1-h-{epoch}-{ts}",
+    "values": [0.72, 0.65, 0.80, 0.71, 0.55, 0.60, 0.85, 0.45],
+    "metadata": {
+      "type": "happiness",
+      "node_id": 1,
+      "zone": "lobby",
+      "timestamp_ms": 1742486400000,
+      "persons": 2,
+      "direction": "entering"
+    }
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+#### 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
+
+### 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.

+|------------|-------------------------------------|
+| Status     | Accepted                            |
+| Date       | 2026-03-27                          |

+
+## 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.

+### NodeState Struct
+
+```rust
+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,
+    smoothed_br: f64,
+    smoothed_hr_conf: f64,
+    smoothed_br_conf: f64,
+    hr_buffer: VecDeque<f64>,
+    br_buffer: VecDeque<f64>,
+    rssi_history: VecDeque<f64>,
+    vital_detector: VitalSignDetector,
+    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.
+
+## Scaling Characteristics
+
+| Nodes | Per-Node Memory | Total Overhead | Notes |
+|-------|----------------|----------------|-------|
+| 1     | ~50 KB         | ~50 KB         | Identical to current |
+| 3     | ~50 KB         | ~150 KB        | Typical home setup |
+| 10    | ~50 KB         | ~500 KB        | Small office |
+| 50    | ~50 KB         | ~2.5 MB        | Building floor |
+| 100   | ~50 KB         | ~5 MB          | Large deployment |
+| 256   | ~50 KB         | ~12.8 MB       | Max (u8 node_id) |
+
+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)

+## 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.

+## 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:

+              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)        │

+
+    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

+## 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       │
+    │                             │

+    └─────────────────────────────┘
+
+    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

+
+### 4.4 Integration with ESP32 Mesh
+
+```
+Hybrid Rydberg-ESP32 Architecture:
+
+    Classical Layer (ESP32 mesh):
+    ┌────┐    ┌────┐    ┌────┐
+    │ESP1│────│ESP2│────│ESP3│     120 classical edges
+    └────┘    └────┘    └────┘     CSI coherence weights

+            │ 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

+
+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:

+
+## 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

+   classical? Preliminary analysis suggests V > 100, but constant factors matter.
+

+   directly, bypassing classical CSI entirely?
+
+3. **Entanglement distribution**: Can entangled sensor pairs provide correlated
+   edge weights with fundamentally lower uncertainty?

+   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?

+## 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.

+# NV Diamond Magnetometers for Neural Current Detection
+
+## SOTA Research Document — RF Topological Sensing Series (13/22)
+
+**Date**: 2026-03-09
+**Domain**: Nitrogen-Vacancy Quantum Sensing × Neural Magnetometry × Graph Topology
+**Status**: Research Survey
+
+---
+
+## 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

+### 7.2 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).
+
+---
+
+## 13. Roadmap for NV Neural Magnetometry
+
+### Phase 1: Characterization (2026–2027)
+- Build 8-channel NV array
+- Demonstrate fT-level sensitivity on bench
+- Validate with known magnetic phantom sources
+- Characterize noise sources and rejection methods
+- Cost: ~$100K
+
+### Phase 2: Neural Validation (2027–2028)
+- 32-channel NV array in magnetically shielded room
+- Record alpha rhythm from human subject
+- Compare with simultaneous SQUID-MEG or OPM recording
+- Demonstrate source localization accuracy
+- Cost: ~$300K
+
+### Phase 3: Prototype System (2028–2029)
+- 64-channel NV helmet with active shielding
+- Real-time connectivity graph construction
+- Demonstrate mincut-based cognitive state detection
+- First integration with RuVector pipeline
+- Cost: ~$500K
+
+### Phase 4: Clinical Prototype (2029–2030)

+- Clinical-grade software pipeline
+- Normative topology database
+- Regulatory submission
+- Commercial deployment
+- Target system cost: $20–50K
+
+---
+
+## 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.

+# 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?"

+# Brain State Observatory — Ten Application Domains
+
+## 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.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Domain 3: Cognitive State Monitoring
+
+### 4.1 Core Capability
+
+Measure brain network organization to infer mental states without decoding content.
+
+The system answers: "Is this person focused, fatigued, overloaded, or disengaged?"
+It does NOT answer: "What is this person thinking about?"
+
+### 4.2 Metrics
+
+| Metric | Computation | Cognitive Correlate |
+|--------|-------------|---------------------|
+| Global mincut value | Minimum cut of whole-brain graph | Integration level |
+| Modular structure | Number and size of graph modules | Cognitive mode |
+| Hub connectivity | Degree centrality of hub regions | Executive function |
+| Graph entropy | Shannon entropy of edge weight distribution | Cognitive complexity |
+| Temporal variability | Rate of topology change | Engagement level |
+| Inter-hemispheric mincut | Left-right partition strength | Lateralized processing |
+

+## 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
+
+**Stress Reduction**:
+- Target: reduce amygdala–prefrontal hyperconnectivity
+- Feedback when topology normalizes toward calm-state pattern
+- Combine with meditation/breathing guidance
+- Corporate wellness and clinical stress management
+
+**Peak Performance Training**:
+- Target: optimize integration-segregation balance for specific tasks
+- Elite athletes: motor network optimization
+- Musicians: auditory-motor coupling refinement
+- Financial traders: decision network optimization under pressure
+
+### 6.3 Technical Requirements for Neurofeedback
+
+| Parameter | Requirement | Current Capability |
+|-----------|------------|-------------------|
+| Feedback latency | <250 ms | ~100 ms achievable |
+| 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
+
+### 9.1 Cognition-Aware Computing

+
+### 9.3 Cognition-Aware Operating System Concept

+
+---
+
+## 10. Domain 9: Brain Health Monitoring Wearables

+becomes possible in a wearable form factor.
+

+
+### 10.4 Technical Barriers to Consumer Deployment
+
+| Barrier | Current Status | Required for Consumer |
+|---------|---------------|----------------------|
+| Sensor size | 12×12×19 mm (OPM) | <5×5×5 mm |
+| Magnetic shielding | Room or active coils | Integrated micro-shielding |

+
+**Realistic timeline**: 10–15 years for consumer wearable. Near-term: clinical/professional
+devices that accept larger form factor.
+
+---
+
+## 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
+neural topology and tracks how it evolves over time.
+
+### 11.2 Architecture
+
+```
+Physical Brain:     Periodic OPM recordings → topology snapshots
+Digital Twin:       Personalized brain graph model in RuVector
+                    ├─ Structural connectivity (from MRI/DTI)
+                    ├─ Functional topology (from OPM, updated periodically)
+                    ├─ Dynamic model (predict topology transitions)
+                    └─ Response model (predict effects of interventions)
+
+Applications:
+├─ Track brain aging trajectory
+├─ Simulate treatment responses
+├─ Personalize intervention targets
+├─ Predict cognitive decline
+└─ Optimize rehabilitation protocols
+```
+
+### 11.3 Applications
+
+**Tracking Brain Aging**:
+- Build topology trajectory from age 40 onwards
+- Compare individual trajectory to population norms
+- Detect accelerated aging patterns
+- Correlate with lifestyle factors (exercise, sleep, diet, social)
+- Personalized brain health optimization
+
+**Simulating Treatment Responses**:
+- Patient's brain topology model + proposed treatment → predicted outcome

+
+**Personalized Neurology**:
+- Individual topology fingerprint as clinical identifier
+- Track topology before, during, and after treatment

+
+**Brain Rehabilitation Modeling**:
+- Stroke recovery: model which topology trajectories lead to best outcomes
+- TBI rehabilitation: identify when topology has recovered sufficiently
+- Physical therapy optimization: correlate movement training with topology changes
+- Cognitive rehabilitation: target specific topology deficits
+
+### 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
+
+RuVector provides the embedding space for storing and comparing brain topology states:
+- 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,
+with honest feasibility assessment and a phased strategic roadmap.*

+## 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/`.

+# 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.

+ * and presence detection pipeline under QEMU without WiFi hardware.
+ *
+ * Signal model per subcarrier k at time t:
+ *   A_k(t) = A_base + A_person * exp(-d_k^2 / sigma^2) + noise
+ *   phi_k(t) = phi_base + (2*pi*d / lambda) + breathing_mod(t) + noise
+ *
+ * The entire file is guarded by CONFIG_CSI_MOCK_ENABLED so it compiles
