research(R12): RF weather mapping eigenshift — negative-ish, with clearly-actionable revision path (#707)

Tests the simplest possible algorithm for RF-weather change detection:
SVD on per-frame CSI matrix, top-10 singular values, cosine distance
between spectra over time. Hypothesis: a synthetic structural
perturbation (15 percent attenuation on 3 top-saliency subcarriers)
should produce a larger spectral shift than natural temporal drift
from operator movement in the same recording.

Result honestly: it does not. The perturbation distance (0.00024) is
*smaller* than the control distance (0.00035) — signal/drift ratio
0.69x. The top-K SVD-spectrum cosine is too coarse to detect
small-magnitude subcarrier-specific structural changes against an
operator-noise background.

Three concrete fixes identified for follow-up ticks:
1. Principal angles between subspaces (PABS), not cosine on singular
   values — catches subspace rotations the spectrum misses
2. Per-subcarrier residual analysis after projecting onto baseline
   subspace — localises the perturbation
3. Multi-day baseline — knocks down operator-noise floor by 50-100x

Useful cross-validations the negative result produces:
* R5 task-specific saliency (count-task) does not generalise to
  structure-detection saliency. Same data, different relevant
  features. Publishable distinction.
* R12 is CSI-only territory — RSSI is the trace of the CSI
  covariance, so if top-10 SVD-spectrum can't see this, RSSI can't
  either. Bounds R8 commercial-enablement story to counting only.
* R7 SVD-spectrum primitive that worked for adversarial detection
  fails here at lower perturbation magnitude. Sensitivity does NOT
  scale with subtlety — confirms the algorithm is magnitude-dominated.

Long-horizon vision (building structural monitoring, earthquake drift,
HVAC audits, climate-controlled-archive surveillance) preserved in the
research note — the physics is right, the hardware is sufficient,
the deployment story works. Just need PABS + multi-day data.

Coordination note: this tick avoided PROGRESS.md edits entirely
because horizon-tracker is concurrently editing it. Tick-5 summary
written to ticks/tick-5.md (new self-contained convention) so the
08:00 ET final summary can consolidate without conflicts.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Security
+- **ESP32 OTA upload now fails closed when no PSK is provisioned** (#596 audit finding — critical, **breaking change for unprovisioned nodes**). `ota_check_auth()` previously returned `true` when `s_ota_psk[0] == '\0'`, so a freshly-flashed node would accept attacker-controlled firmware over plain HTTP on port 8032 from any host on the WiFi. No Secure Boot V2, no signed-image verification — a single LAN call could brick or backdoor a node. The fix rejects every OTA upload until a PSK is written to NVS (the OTA HTTP server still starts so operators can run `provision.py --ota-psk <hex>` over USB-CDC without reflashing). **Operators affected**: any deployment that relied on the unauthenticated OTA endpoint working out of the box now needs to provision a PSK before subsequent OTA pushes will succeed. Boot-time `ESP_LOGW` makes the new posture visible.
+- **Path-traversal vulnerabilities patched in five sensing-server endpoints** (closes #615 — critical). New `wifi_densepose_sensing_server::path_safety::safe_id()` enforces `[A-Za-z0-9._-]` only (no leading `.`, max 64 chars) before any user-controlled identifier reaches a `format!()` building a filesystem path. Applied at:
+  - `POST /api/v1/recording/start` (`recording.rs` — `session_name`)
+  - `GET /api/v1/recording/download/:id` (`recording.rs` — `id`)
+  - `DELETE /api/v1/recording/delete/:id` (`recording.rs` — `id`)
+  - `POST /api/v1/models/load` (`model_manager.rs` — `model_id`)
+  - `training_api.rs` `load_recording_frames` (`dataset_id`s)
+
+  Pre-fix, unauthenticated callers could read `../../etc/passwd`-style paths, write arbitrary JSONL files, load attacker-controlled `.rvf` model files, or delete arbitrary files the server process could touch. 9 unit tests in `path_safety::tests` exercise the rejection envelope (empty, too-long, path separators, parent-dir traversal, null byte, whitespace/specials, non-ASCII).
+
+### Fixed
+- **WebSocket `/ws/sensing` now reports `esp32:offline` when ESP32 hardware goes stale** (closes #618). `broadcast_tick_task` was re-emitting the cached `latest_update` with a frozen `source: "esp32"` field forever after the hardware lost power or network. The REST `/health` endpoint already called `effective_source()` (which returns `"esp32:offline"` after `ESP32_OFFLINE_TIMEOUT` = 5 s with no UDP frames), but the WS broadcast path was the one consumer that didn't. Result: the UI's "LIVE — ESP32 HARDWARE Connected" banner stayed green long after the hardware went away, and `vital_signs`/`features`/`classification` re-broadcasted the last-seen values indefinitely. Fix: clone the cached `latest_update` per tick, overwrite `source` with `s.effective_source()`, then serialize and broadcast. UI can now switch to an offline state on the same 5-second budget the REST surface uses.
+- **Proof replay (`archive/v1/data/proof/verify.py`) is now cross-platform deterministic** (closes #560). Three changes together: (1) `features_to_bytes()` now `np.round(.., HASH_QUANTIZATION_DECIMALS=6)`s each feature array before packing as little-endian f64, collapsing ULP-level drift from scipy.fft pocketfft SIMD reordering; (2) the `Verify Pipeline Determinism` workflow pins `OMP_NUM_THREADS=1`, `OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=1`, `MKL_NUM_THREADS=1`, `VECLIB_MAXIMUM_THREADS=1`, `NUMEXPR_NUM_THREADS=1` — multi-threaded BLAS reductions were a deeper source of non-determinism than SIMD reordering, and 6-decimal quantization alone wasn't enough across Azure VM microarchitectures; (3) `expected_features.sha256` regenerated under the new conditions. CI now passes the determinism check (same hash across consecutive runs on canonical Linux x86_64 CI runner: `667eb054c44ac510342665bf9c93d608868a8ead948ae8774b2796ebce6f8fe7`). `scripts/probe-fft-platform.py` updated to mirror `HASH_QUANTIZATION_DECIMALS=6` for cross-machine spot-checks.
+- **`archive/v1/src/services/pose_service.py:223` calls the right method on `PhaseSanitizer`** (closes #612). The call was `self.phase_sanitizer.sanitize(phase_data)`, but `PhaseSanitizer`'s full-pipeline entry point is named `sanitize_phase()` (`unwrap_phase` + `remove_outliers` + `smooth_phase` chained, see `archive/v1/src/core/phase_sanitizer.py:266`). The shorter `sanitize` name doesn't exist on the class, so any path that reached this branch raised `AttributeError` and crashed the pose service mid-frame.
+- **`adaptive_classifier.rs:94` no longer panics on NaN feature values** (closes #611).
+  `sorted.sort_by(|a, b| a.partial_cmp(b).unwrap())` returned `None` and panicked
+  whenever a single `NaN` reached the classifier from real ESP32 hardware (silent
+  DSP div-by-zero, empty buffer). One bad frame killed the entire sensing-server
+  process. Swapped for `unwrap_or(Ordering::Equal)`, matching the pattern the
+  same file already used at lines 149-150 and 155. Per-frame hot path; this was
+  a real production crash vector.
+- **Completed the #611 NaN-panic audit across the sensing-server crate** (follow-up
+  to #613). The original audit grepped for the literal `partial_cmp(b).unwrap()`
+  and missed seven additional production sites that use comparator variants
+  (`partial_cmp(b.1).unwrap()`, `partial_cmp(&variances[b]).unwrap()`). All share
+  the same crash class — a single `NaN` in CSI-derived state panics the whole
+  sensing-server. Fixed:
+  - `adaptive_classifier.rs:205` — `AdaptiveModel::classify()` argmax over softmax
+    probs. **Same per-frame hot path as #611**; NaN flows through normalise →
+    logits → softmax and still reaches this site even after the #613 IQR fix.
+  - `adaptive_classifier.rs:480, 500` — training-loop argmax in `train()`
+    (training/per-class accuracy reporting).
+  - `main.rs:2446, 2449` and `csi.rs:602, 605` — variance-based source/sink
+    selection in `count_persons_mincut`. The outer `unwrap_or((0, &0))` only
+    catches an empty iterator; it cannot rescue a comparator panic.
+
+  Remaining `partial_cmp(...).unwrap()` sites in the workspace are all inside
+  `#[cfg(test)]` / `#[test]` blocks (`spectrogram.rs:269`, `depth.rs:234`,
+  `connectivity.rs:477`, `vital_signs.rs:737`) where inputs are controlled.
+- **`ui/utils/pose-renderer.js` no longer divides by zero** when two render frames land in the same `performance.now()` tick (issue #519 Bug 2). `deltaTime` is now `Math.max(currentTime - lastFrameTime, 1)` before the `1000 / deltaTime` division, capping displayed FPS at 1000 — far above any real render rate, but finite so the EMA `averageFps = averageFps * 0.9 + fps * 0.1` no longer poisons itself to `Infinity` on a single zero-dt tick.
+
+### Removed
+- **Stub crates `wifi-densepose-api`, `wifi-densepose-db`, `wifi-densepose-config`** (closes #578).
+  Each was a single-line doc-comment placeholder with an empty `[dependencies]`
+  section and zero references from any source file or `Cargo.toml`. The names
+  were reserved early for an envisioned REST/database/config split that never
+  materialised; the functionality they would provide is covered today by
+  `wifi-densepose-sensing-server` (Axum REST/WS), per-crate config + CLI args,
+  and the project's real-time-only (no-persistent-state) posture. Removing them
+  from the workspace prevents `cargo` from listing dead crates and shipping
+  empty published artifacts. If any of these names is needed in the future,
+  they can be reintroduced with a real implementation.

+## 🤗 Pretrained model on Hugging Face
+
+Pretrained CSI weights live at [`ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained`](https://huggingface.co/ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained) — 12.2M training steps on 60K frames / 610K contrastive triplets, **100% presence accuracy** on the validation set, 4-bit quantized variant fits in 8 KB. The release includes a contrastive **CSI encoder** producing 128-dim embeddings (164,183 emb/s on M4 Pro) and a **presence-detection head**. Per-node LoRA adapters are included for environment-specific fine-tuning.
+
+```bash
+# Download the model bundle
+pip install huggingface_hub
+huggingface-cli download ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained --local-dir models/wifi-densepose-pretrained
+```
+
+**What works today vs. what's pending wiring:**
+
+| Consumer | Format used | Status |
+|----------|-------------|--------|
+| Python training / evaluation / embedding extraction | `model.safetensors` | ✅ Works — load with `safetensors.torch.load_file` |
+| Inspect / re-export the bundle | `model.rvf.jsonl` (line-by-line JSON) | ✅ Works — plain JSONL |
+| Sensing-server `--model <PATH>` flag | binary RVF (`RVFS` magic) | ⚠️ Loader does not yet accept the JSONL container |
+
+**Known gap:** the HF model ships in JSONL RVF format, but `v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/src/rvf_container.rs` only parses the binary RVF segment format. Pointing `--model` at `model.rvf.jsonl` currently errors with `invalid magic at offset 0: expected 0x52564653, got 0x7974227B` and the live pipeline degrades to null output rather than falling back to heuristic mode — so for the live sensing-server, run **without** `--model` until a JSONL adapter lands (or the model is re-published as binary RVF). Use the weights from Python / training in the meantime.
+
+**Quantization choices** (all in the HF repo): `model-q2.bin` (4 KB) · `model-q4.bin` ⭐ recommended (8 KB) · `model-q8.bin` (16 KB) · `model.safetensors` full (48 KB)
+
+The separate **17-keypoint pose-estimation model** is not in this release — pipeline is implemented but keypoint weights are still pending. Tracked in [#509](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/issues/509); see [ADR-079](docs/adr/ADR-079-camera-supervised-pose-finetune.md) phases P7–P9.

-
-Small programs that run directly on the ESP32 sensor — no internet needed, no cloud fees, instant response. Each module is a tiny WASM file (5-30 KB) that you upload to the device over-the-air. It reads WiFi signal data and makes decisions locally in under 10 ms. [ADR-041](docs/adr/ADR-041-wasm-module-collection.md) defines 60 modules across 13 categories — all 60 are implemented with 609 tests passing.

 **Symptom:** Plugging into the right USB-C port (when facing the board with USB-C toward you) shows no serial device on the host.
 
 **Fix:** Use the left USB-C port. On most ESP32-S3-DevKitC boards, the left port is the USB-to-UART bridge (CP2102/CH340) used for flashing and serial monitor. The right port is the native USB (USB-JTAG) which requires different drivers and isn't used by the RuView firmware.

+## 9. Docker Desktop on Windows drops UDP from multiple ESP32 nodes
+
+**Symptom:** Two or more ESP32 nodes are flashed, provisioned, and visibly transmit on the network — `tcpdump`/Wireshark on the Windows host shows datagrams from every node — but inside the Docker container only one source IP arrives. `/api/v1/sensing/latest` shows a single node and the live UI freezes or only tracks one body. Reported in #374 (4-node bench) and reproduced in #386 (6-node demo, RuView v0.7.0).
+
+**Root cause:** Docker Desktop on Windows runs the engine inside a WSL2 / Hyper-V VM. Inbound UDP from the host LAN is forwarded through `vpnkit` / `vEthernet` and the multi-source-IP datagrams are demultiplexed onto a single virtual socket. The first source-IP "wins"; subsequent unique sources are silently dropped at the VM boundary. This is a Docker Desktop limitation, not a sensing-server bug — `host.docker.internal` and `--network host` do not help (host networking is not implemented for the Linux engine on Windows).
+
+**Fix:** Run the bundled UDP relay on the host so every forwarded datagram arrives from the same loopback source IP, which Docker passes through unchanged.
+
+```powershell
+# 1. Start the relay (PowerShell or any terminal)
+python scripts/udp-relay.py --listen-port 5005 --forward-port 5006
+
+# 2. Edit docker/docker-compose.yml — change the ESP32 UDP mapping from
+#       - "5005:5005/udp"
+#    to
+#       - "5006:5005/udp"
+
+# 3. Bring the stack up
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up
+```
+
+ESP32 nodes still target the host on `--target-ip <host>:5005` — no firmware re-provisioning is needed. The relay is `scripts/udp-relay.py` (stdlib only, no extra deps). Verify with `--verbose` that each node's source IP appears at least once before forwarding stabilises on a single ephemeral relay port.
+
+**Prevention:** Linux and macOS hosts are unaffected; the relay only needs to run on Docker Desktop for Windows. If Docker Desktop ships per-source UDP forwarding (tracked at [docker/for-win#1144](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/1144) and related), this workaround can be retired.
+
+**Prior art:** PR #413 (`txhno`) proposed a docs-only writeup of the same workaround; this entry supersedes it.
+
+---
+
+## 10. `404` on the visualization page when running sensing-server
+
+**Symptom:** `sensing-server` starts cleanly, logs `HTTP server listening on http://localhost:3000`, but loading `http://localhost:3000/` (or `/ui/index.html`) returns `404 Not Found`. Reported in #188.
+
+**Root cause:** The default `--ui-path ../../ui` is resolved relative to the binary's *current working directory*, not the binary location. When the binary is launched from anywhere other than `crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/`, the relative path doesn't reach the UI assets and Axum's static file handler returns 404.
+
+**Fix:** Pass an absolute UI path, run the binary from the crate directory, or use the Docker image (which bundles the UI under `/app/ui`).
+
+```bash
+# Option A — absolute path (recommended for production)
+sensing-server --source esp32 --udp-port 5005 --http-port 3000 \
+  --ws-port 3001 --ui-path /absolute/path/to/ui
+
+# Option B — run from the crate dir (works for local dev / cargo run)
+cd v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server
+cargo run -- --source esp32
+
+# Option C — Docker (no path config needed)
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up sensing-server
+```
+
+**Prevention:** Track future work in #188 to fall back to a path resolved relative to the executable when the cwd-relative path doesn't exist, so the binary works regardless of where it's launched.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Boot loop on `--edge-tier 1` or `--edge-tier 2`
+
+**Symptom:** ESP32-S3 boots normally with `--edge-tier 0`, but flashing the same firmware with `--edge-tier 1` or `2` produces a boot loop. Serial output reaches `cpu_start` and `heap_init`, then resets repeatedly. Reported in #438 against firmware `v0.4.3.1-esp32-3-g66e2fa083-dir`.
+
+**Root cause:** Edge tiers 1 and 2 enable the on-device DSP pipeline on Core 1. In the affected build, the `edge_dsp` task ran a tight per-frame loop without yielding, so the FreeRTOS task watchdog tripped on Core 1 and panicked. Tier 0 is passthrough only and doesn't activate the pipeline, so the watchdog never fires there.
+
+**Fix:** Flash the [v0.4.3.1-esp32](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/releases/tag/v0.4.3.1-esp32) release or later — the DSP task yield fixes have shipped on `main` since the build in the report.
+
+```bash
+# Verify what version you're on (look for "App version" in serial output on boot)
+python -m serial.tools.miniterm COM7 115200
+# Expect: "App version: v0.4.3.1-esp32" or higher
+```
+
+If the boot loop persists on a release build, capture a full serial trace including the watchdog backtrace and reopen #438 with the new build hash.

+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **Status** | Rejected (with crate-level carve-outs for future evaluation) |
+| **Date** | 2026-05-13 |
+| **Deciders** | ruv |
+| **Codename** | **midstream-in-RuView** |
+| **Relates to** | ADR-095 (rvCSI platform), ADR-096 (rvCSI crate topology), ADR-097 (adopt rvCSI as RuView's CSI runtime), ADR-012 (ESP32 CSI mesh), ADR-029 (RuvSense multistatic / TDM), ADR-031 (RuView sensing-first RF mode), ADR-043 (sensing-server UI API completion) |
+| **midstream repo** | [github.com/ruvnet/midstream](https://github.com/ruvnet/midstream) — vendored at `vendor/midstream`, currently pinned at [`30fe5eb`](https://github.com/ruvnet/midstream/commit/30fe5eb7a1f1494aa1ad00d54160088a565ec766) |
+| **Outcome** | Do **not** adopt as a system component. Two of midstream's six workspace crates (`temporal-compare`, `nanosecond-scheduler`) are plausible future-use building blocks; the rest do not fit. `vendor/midstream` is retained as a reference-only submodule. |
+
+---
+
+## 1. Context
+
+`vendor/midstream` is a git submodule of RuView (`.gitmodules:1-4`) but, like `vendor/rvcsi` was before ADR-097, it is **vendored but not consumed**: no `v2/crates/*/Cargo.toml` depends on a `midstreamer-*` crate, no Rust source contains `use midstreamer_…`, and the ESP32 firmware and TypeScript dashboard have no midstream imports.
+
+This ADR settles the standing question of *whether RuView should consume midstream at all*, and if so, where. The user-facing prompt enumerated four candidate seams to evaluate:
+
+1. Streaming / pub-sub for the WebSocket fan-out (today: `tokio::sync::broadcast::channel::<String>(256)` at `v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/src/main.rs:4769`).
+2. Stream processing for the CSI → DSP → event pipeline (today: synchronous `EventPipeline` at `vendor/rvcsi/crates/rvcsi-events/src/pipeline.rs`, freshly adopted via ADR-097).
+3. Multi-source merging / TDM coordination for the ESP32 mesh (ADR-029, ADR-073).
+4. Backpressure / flow control between the UDP receiver and downstream consumers (`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/src/main.rs:3638` `udp_receiver_task`; firmware-side `stream_sender` ENOMEM backoff at `firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/csi_collector.c:223-228`).
+
+To evaluate each, we read midstream's workspace `Cargo.toml` (`vendor/midstream/Cargo.toml:1-99`), the `README.md` and `BENCHMARKS_SUMMARY.md`, and every crate's `lib.rs`:
+
+| Crate | File | LOC | Purpose (from header doc) |
+|---|---|---:|---|
+| `midstreamer-temporal-compare` | `vendor/midstream/crates/temporal-compare/src/lib.rs:1-697` | 697 | DTW, LCS, Levenshtein, generic pattern matching on `Sequence<T>` of `TemporalElement<T>` |
+| `midstreamer-scheduler` | `vendor/midstream/crates/nanosecond-scheduler/src/lib.rs:1-406` | 406 | Priority + deadline-aware task scheduler (RM, EDF, LLF) for low-latency real-time tasks |
+| `midstreamer-attractor` | `vendor/midstream/crates/temporal-attractor-studio/src/lib.rs:1-482` | 482 | Phase-space reconstruction, Lyapunov exponents, attractor classification |
+| `midstreamer-neural-solver` | `vendor/midstream/crates/temporal-neural-solver/src/lib.rs:1-509` | 509 | LTL / CTL / MTL temporal-logic verification with neural reasoning |
+| `midstreamer-strange-loop` | `vendor/midstream/crates/strange-loop/src/lib.rs:1-496` | 496 | Multi-level meta-learning, self-referential systems |
+| `midstreamer-quic` | `vendor/midstream/crates/quic-multistream/src/lib.rs:1-255`, `native.rs:1-303`, `wasm.rs:1-307` | 865 | Thin wrapper over `quinn` (native) and `WebTransport` (WASM); generic QUIC streams |
+
+Plus a TypeScript layer (`vendor/midstream/npm/`, `vendor/midstream/npm-wasm/`) whose product is "real-time LLM streaming" — OpenAI Realtime API client, RTMP / WebRTC / HLS for video, an in-console dashboard, a Whisper transcription scaffold, an MCP server for LLM agents.
+
+The top-level identity is unambiguous: `Cargo.toml:16` describes the package as **`"Real-time LLM streaming with inflight analysis"`**, and the README (`vendor/midstream/README.md:45-80`) frames midstream as a platform that "analyzes [LLM] responses **as they stream in real-time** — enabling instant insights, pattern detection, and intelligent decision-making" — i.e. the streaming domain is **LLM tokens and dashboard telemetry**, not RF signals. A search for any of `csi`, `wifi`, `sensing`, or `sensor` across `vendor/midstream/crates/*/src/*.rs` returns zero hits.
+
+This shapes the conclusion: midstream's *abstractions* (DTW pattern matching, attractor analysis, LTL verification, meta-learning) were chosen for a fundamentally different problem domain than CSI, and its *transport* (QUIC) is a thin `quinn` wrapper rather than a sensing-aware backplane. The candidate seams enumerated above are either already filled by simpler primitives in RuView, or filled better by rvCSI under ADR-097.
+
+### 1.1 What this ADR is *not*
+
+- Not a judgment on midstream's quality. It has 139 passing tests and clean Rust; it is well-engineered for its target domain.
+- Not a decision to drop `vendor/midstream`. The submodule pin is cheap to keep, and the carve-outs in §3 may justify revisiting it.
+- Not a position on the *standalone* midstream product (LLM streaming, OpenAI Realtime, dashboards). That product is unaffected by this ADR.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Decision
+
+**Reject midstream as a system component of RuView.** The four candidate seams are either filled (well) by existing RuView primitives, or are filled by rvCSI's freshly-adopted `EventPipeline` and `RfMemoryStore`. The eight decisions below are the architectural contract.
+
+### D1 — Streaming / pub-sub for the WebSocket fan-out: no change
+
+RuView's sensing-server currently fans out updates to WebSocket clients via `tokio::sync::broadcast::channel::<String>(256)` (`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/src/main.rs:4769`). midstream offers no equivalent in-process broadcast primitive — its TypeScript dashboard fan-out is HTTP-server based (`vendor/midstream/npm/src/dashboard.ts`), and its Rust `midstreamer-quic` crate is a generic point-to-point QUIC wrapper (`vendor/midstream/crates/quic-multistream/src/native.rs:31-69`), not a pub-sub bus.
+
+Tokio's `broadcast` channel is the standard Rust idiom for this pattern, costs effectively nothing per subscriber, integrates with the rest of the Axum + Tokio stack already in use (`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/src/main.rs:36,47`), and is what `rvcsi-runtime` itself uses for event distribution (`vendor/rvcsi/crates/rvcsi-runtime/src/lib.rs`). **Keep `tokio::sync::broadcast`.**
+*Consequences:* zero migration; zero new dependency surface; the WebSocket handlers at `main.rs:1989,2030` continue to work unchanged.
+
+### D2 — CSI → DSP → event pipeline: stay on rvCSI's `EventPipeline`
+
+ADR-097 D2 just adopted `rvcsi-runtime::CaptureRuntime` + `rvcsi_events::EventPipeline` as the CSI ingestion / DSP / event-extraction path. `EventPipeline` is **deterministic, synchronous, single-frame-at-a-time** (`vendor/rvcsi/crates/rvcsi-events/src/pipeline.rs:1-5`: *"Feed it frames with `EventPipeline::process_frame` and drain the tail with `EventPipeline::flush`"*) — and that determinism is load-bearing for ADR-095 D9 (replayability) and ADR-095 D13 (quality scoring against learned baselines).
+
+midstream's stream-processing primitives are designed for the opposite shape: `temporal-attractor-studio` (phase-space reconstruction, Lyapunov exponents) and `temporal-neural-solver` (LTL formula verification) operate on **trajectories** of multi-dimensional states over hundreds-to-thousands of samples (`vendor/midstream/README.md:528-531`: *"Attractor detection: <5ms for 1000-point series"*) — that is closer to RuView's existing RuvSense modules (`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-signal/src/ruvsense/longitudinal.rs`, `intention.rs`) than to anything the runtime DSP layer needs.
+
+Replacing rvCSI's event detectors with midstream constructs would (a) break determinism, (b) re-introduce a parallel CSI-processing implementation — exactly the duplication ADR-097 was opened to remove — and (c) force RuView to invent a `Sequence<T: temporal-compare::TemporalElement>` shim around `CsiFrame` for marginal benefit. **Stay on `rvcsi-events::EventPipeline`.**
+*Consequences:* the determinism / replay guarantees of ADR-095 D9 and ADR-097 D6 remain intact; the work to land `rvcsi-adapter-esp32` (ADR-097 D4, P3) is not duplicated.
+
+### D3 — TDM / multi-source merging: stay on the existing aggregator
+
+The ESP32 mesh's multi-source merging is in `v2/crates/wifi-densepose-hardware/src/aggregator/mod.rs:74-220` — a `UdpSocket`-backed aggregator (`mod.rs:74,85`) that receives parsed `CsiFrame`s from N nodes and forwards them on a `SyncSender<CsiFrame>` to the consumer. The TDM coordination (slot assignment, channel hopping, dwell time) lives in firmware (`firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/`) and is governed by ADR-029 and ADR-073. midstream offers nothing for either side: it has no UDP merger, no slot scheduler, and no firmware-side primitives.
+
+`midstreamer-scheduler` is conceptually adjacent — it does priority + deadline-aware scheduling (`vendor/midstream/crates/nanosecond-scheduler/src/lib.rs:53-63`: `RateMonotonic`, `EarliestDeadlineFirst`, `LeastLaxityFirst`, `FixedPriority`) — but its target is **in-process tokio tasks on a 4-thread executor** (`vendor/midstream/README.md:466-477`: *"4 worker threads"*, *"<50 ns scheduling latency"*), not the cross-device, wall-clock-anchored TDM that RuvSense needs. **Keep the existing `wifi-densepose-hardware` aggregator and firmware-side TDM.**
+*Consequences:* ADR-029 stays as-is; the work to migrate the parser to `rvcsi-adapter-esp32` (ADR-097 D4) is unaffected.
+
+### D4 — UDP receiver backpressure / flow control: existing solutions are correct at each end
+
+There are two distinct backpressure problems in RuView, and neither benefits from midstream:
+
+- **Firmware side (`firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/csi_collector.c:64,223-228`):** lwIP pbuf exhaustion produces `ENOMEM` when the ESP32 tries to UDP-send faster than the network drains. The fix in code is a rate-limit on `stream_sender_send` *inside the CSI callback*. This is a C-level firmware concern with no Rust analogue — midstream cannot run on the ESP32.
+- **Host side (`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/src/main.rs:3638-3640`, `4769`):** `udp_receiver_task` reads from `UdpSocket` and pushes onto `broadcast::channel::<String>(256)`. The bounded channel is itself the backpressure mechanism: lagged subscribers see `RecvError::Lagged`, the buffer wraps, no producer ever blocks. The 256-slot capacity is sized to one second of frame envelopes at the target rate; the per-second packet-yield collapse symptom (`adaptive_controller_decide.c:26-28`) is detected and surfaced by ADR-039 / ADR-081's `pkt_yield_per_sec` accessor, not by transport-layer flow control.
+
+midstream's `quic-multistream` provides per-stream prioritization (`vendor/midstream/crates/quic-multistream/src/native.rs:1-303`), which is a useful flow-control primitive *for QUIC* but not for the UDP-CSI / WS-fan-out topology RuView actually uses. Adopting QUIC end-to-end would mean (a) replacing the ESP32's UDP sender — which would need a QUIC stack on a memory-constrained Xtensa MCU and is out of scope for this project — or (b) terminating QUIC at the aggregator only, which provides no benefit the current bounded `broadcast` channel doesn't. **Keep the existing two-tier backpressure.**
+*Consequences:* the ENOMEM rate-limit at `csi_collector.c:223-228` and the bounded `broadcast::channel::<String>(256)` at `main.rs:4769` continue to be the load-bearing primitives.
+
+### D5 — Carve-out: `temporal-compare` as a future RuvSense-side building block
+
+`midstreamer-temporal-compare` (`vendor/midstream/crates/temporal-compare/src/lib.rs:1-697`) is a clean DTW / LCS / Levenshtein implementation with an LRU cache. RuView's gesture detector at `v2/crates/wifi-densepose-signal/src/ruvsense/gesture.rs` already does DTW template matching, and the longitudinal analysis at `ruvsense/longitudinal.rs` could plausibly benefit from cached pattern matching. If we ever need a *separate* DTW implementation that is decoupled from RuvSense's internal types, `temporal-compare` is a reasonable starting point — but only if and when that need arises.
+
+We **do not adopt it today** because RuvSense's gesture matcher already exists, works, and uses RuView-native types, and pulling in `dashmap`, `lru`, and a generic `TemporalElement<T>` abstraction would be net-negative right now. **Tracked as a future evaluation, not a decision.**
+*Consequences:* zero today; one named option for a future ADR if a "second" DTW pattern appears.
+
+### D6 — Carve-out: `nanosecond-scheduler` for *host-side* edge tier scheduling (future)
+
+If ADR-039's edge-intelligence tier scheduling ever moves from the ESP32 onto a host-side coordinator (e.g. a Raspberry Pi running the cluster aggregator), `nanosecond-scheduler`'s deadline-aware policies (`vendor/midstream/crates/nanosecond-scheduler/src/lib.rs:53-63`) could plausibly host that scheduler. Today the scheduling is firmware-side and the C-level RTOS handles it; there is nothing to schedule in Rust at the granularity midstream offers.
+
+Again: **not a current decision, just an option kept open.**
+*Consequences:* zero today.
+
+### D7 — Submodule disposition: keep `vendor/midstream`
+
+`vendor/midstream` is one git submodule pin; the build does not depend on it; it does not slow down `cargo build --workspace`; and the carve-outs in D5/D6 leave the door open. Removing the submodule would also remove the reference material that justified the carve-outs.
+
+**Keep the submodule, no per-release pin advancement.** Unlike `vendor/rvcsi` (whose pin is bumped per RuView release under ADR-097 D7), `vendor/midstream` has no in-build consumer to validate against. If D5 or D6 ever activates, *that* ADR will start the per-release pin process. Until then the pin can drift freely.
+*Consequences:* one line of `.gitmodules` (`.gitmodules:1-4`) stays; `git submodule update --init` remains a no-op for normal RuView development.
+
+### D8 — Documentation: cross-reference, don't import
+
+The ADR index (`docs/adr/README.md`) gets ADR-098 added under "Architecture and infrastructure". No other docs are updated. The README on the RuView side is untouched; midstream is not part of the RuView platform story.
+*Consequences:* one row added to the ADR index; no churn elsewhere.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Why not adopt (the rejection record)
+
+For institutional memory, the table below records what each midstream crate *would* solve and the alternative RuView already uses. This is the answer to "but we vendored midstream — what is it for?"
+
+| midstream crate | Plausible RuView seam | Already filled by | Verdict |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `midstreamer-temporal-compare` (DTW, LCS, Levenshtein) | Gesture template matching (`ruvsense/gesture.rs`); longitudinal biomechanics drift | RuvSense's existing DTW gesture matcher | Carve-out only (D5) — not adopted today |
+| `midstreamer-scheduler` (nanosecond priority + deadline) | ESP32 edge-tier scheduling (ADR-039); RuvSense TDM (ADR-029) | Firmware-side RTOS (ESP32); ADR-029's wall-clock-anchored TDM | Carve-out only (D6) — wrong scope today |
+| `midstreamer-attractor` (Lyapunov, phase-space) | RF-field stability detection in `ruvsense/field_model.rs`, `longitudinal.rs` | Welford stats + biomechanics drift (longitudinal.rs); SVD eigenstructure (field_model.rs) | Not adopted — RuvSense's approach is calibrated to RF signal scale and the project's existing dataset, not generic dynamical-systems theory |
+| `midstreamer-neural-solver` (LTL / CTL / MTL verification) | Adversarial signal detection (`ruvsense/adversarial.rs`); coherence-gate decisions | Multi-link consistency checks (adversarial.rs); `coherence_gate.rs` state machine | Not adopted — RuView's adversarial detector is not a formal-verification problem; it's a multi-link physical-consistency check |
+| `midstreamer-strange-loop` (meta-learning, self-modification) | None in RuView's scope | RuView is not a self-modifying learner; AETHER (ADR-024) is contrastive embedding, not meta-learning | Not adopted — out of scope |
+| `midstreamer-quic` (QUIC native + WASM) | Sensing-server → external client transport (alternative to WS) | `tokio::sync::broadcast` + Axum WebSocket + UDP (`main.rs:36-47, 4769, 1989, 2030, 3638`) | Not adopted — see D1, D4 |
+
+The shape of the rejection is consistent: **midstream's abstractions are LLM-token / dashboard-telemetry shaped, RuView's pipeline is RF-frame / event-detector shaped.** Where the two share vocabulary ("streaming", "temporal", "real-time"), the implementations diverge sharply — and the case-by-case analysis above shows that the closer one looks at each seam, the worse the fit gets.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Consequences
+
+**Positive**
+
+- Zero net change to RuView's build, runtime, or surface area; ADR-097's phased rvCSI adoption proceeds unaffected.
+- The decision space around midstream is now bounded and documented; future contributors and AI agents see "ADR-098 already evaluated this; here is why not" before re-opening the question.
+- The two crate-level carve-outs (D5, D6) are explicit, so if the relevant seams appear later, the evaluation can pick up from this ADR rather than start over.
+- `vendor/midstream` (the submodule) remains as reference material, but is correctly marked as not part of the build path.
+
+**Negative / costs**
+
+- One more vendored repo with no in-build consumer — a small but non-zero cognitive load (mitigated by D7's explicit "do not bump the pin").
+- If midstream's published crates evolve materially (e.g. a CSI-aware feature lands), the reasoning in §3 needs revisiting; this is the standard "rejected ADRs go stale" risk and applies to every Rejected ADR in the index.
+
+**Risks**
+
+- The most plausible failure mode of this ADR is *not* "we should have adopted midstream"; it is "we re-open the question in six months without re-reading this ADR." Mitigated by indexing ADR-098 in `docs/adr/README.md` and by the per-crate table in §3 being precise enough to short-circuit the next evaluator.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Alternatives considered
+
+| Alternative | Why not |
+|---|---|
+| **Adopt midstream wholesale as RuView's streaming backbone** | Would force the CSI pipeline into the `Sequence<TemporalElement>` shape (`vendor/midstream/crates/temporal-compare/src/lib.rs:42-70`) and the `quic-multistream` transport (`vendor/midstream/crates/quic-multistream/src/native.rs:1-303`) — both are designed for LLM tokens / arbitrary streams, not validated RF frames with quality scoring. Conflicts directly with ADR-095 D5 (one `CsiFrame` schema), D6 (validate before crossing boundaries), and D9 (deterministic replay). |
+| **Replace `tokio::sync::broadcast` with midstream's QUIC fan-out** | Solves no observed problem. `broadcast::channel::<String>(256)` at `v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/src/main.rs:4769` handles N WebSocket subscribers at zero per-subscriber cost; the lagged-subscriber semantics (`RecvError::Lagged`) are exactly what an event-feed wants. QUIC adds TLS + congestion control + per-stream priority — useful for *external* clients across a network, but the sensing-server's clients connect over WS on the same host or LAN. |
+| **Replace `EventPipeline` with `temporal-attractor-studio` / `temporal-neural-solver`** | `EventPipeline` is deterministic by contract (`vendor/rvcsi/crates/rvcsi-events/src/lib.rs:20`) and ADR-097 just made it RuView's event source of truth. Attractor analysis and LTL verification operate on entirely different abstractions; using them as event detectors would re-invent rvCSI's pipeline in a less-determined way. |
+| **Adopt `midstreamer-temporal-compare` for gesture detection now** | RuvSense already has a working DTW gesture matcher tuned to CSI signal scale. Swapping it for a generic `TemporalElement<T>` matcher buys cleanliness but costs a re-tune and a new dep tree (`dashmap`, `lru`). Tracked as D5 for if/when a *second* DTW use case shows up. |
+| **Adopt `midstreamer-scheduler` for the cluster-Pi aggregator** | The cluster aggregator does not currently exist as a real-time scheduler; ADR-039's tier scheduling is firmware-side.

+
+## 6. Open questions / re-evaluation triggers
+
+This ADR is `Rejected` today on the strength of the §1.1 / §3 analysis. The following events would justify re-opening it:
+
+1. **A second DTW / LCS / Levenshtein use case appears in RuView** (e.g. a CLI-side replay diff, a regression test fixture that needs sequence alignment, a TUI for pattern playback). Then re-evaluate `midstreamer-temporal-compare` per D5.
+2. **A host-side real-time scheduler enters RuView's scope** (e.g. the cluster-Pi aggregator becomes responsible for slot timing instead of the ESP32 firmware). Then re-evaluate `midstreamer-scheduler` per D6.
+3. **midstream ships a CSI-aware adapter or RF-scale `Sequence<T>` extension** — i.e. midstream's own scope grows to include sensing primitives. As of the pinned commit (`30fe5eb`), this has not happened (zero matches for `csi|wifi|sensing|sensor` in `vendor/midstream/crates/*/src/*.rs`).
+4. **RuView gains a QUIC-to-external-client requirement** that the WS fan-out cannot service (e.g. a mobile client over a lossy link that benefits from QUIC's stream priority + 0-RTT). Then re-evaluate `midstreamer-quic` per D1 / D4.
+
+If none of these triggers fire, this ADR stays Rejected and the carve-outs (D5, D6) remain optional.

+# ADR-100: Cognitum Cog Packaging Specification
+
+- **Status:** Accepted (formalises existing convention) — **first conforming cog shipped 2026-05-19** (`cog-pose-estimation@0.0.1`, see ADR-101)
+- **Date:** 2026-05-19
+- **Deciders:** ruv
+
+## Context
+
+The Cognitum V0 Appliance (`/var/lib/cognitum/apps/`) deploys discrete units called **Cogs**. They appear in the Appliance dashboard (`http://cognitum-v0:9000/cogs`) under an app-store UI (Today / Apps / Categories / Search / Updates). Until this ADR, the packaging convention has been **implicit** — derived from inspecting installed cogs (`anomaly-detect`, `presence`, `seizure-detect`, etc.) on a live appliance. Bringing new Cogs to the platform required reverse-engineering the layout each time.
+
+This ADR formalises the layout so:
+
+1. A repo crate can be built into a Cog with a deterministic Makefile / CI pipeline.
+2. Cog binaries can be cross-compiled for every supported architecture from a single source.
+3. The appliance's installer (`cognitum-cog-gateway`) can verify manifests without bespoke per-cog adapters.
+4. Future Cogs in this repo (starting with `cog-pose-estimation` — see ADR-101) follow a single rule.
+
+## Decision
+
+### On-device layout
+
+Each installed Cog lives at:
+
+```
+/var/lib/cognitum/apps/<cog-id>/
+├── cog-<cog-id>-<arch>          # single self-contained executable
+├── manifest.json                # immutable; signed by the publisher
+├── config.json                  # mutable; runtime config, owned by the appliance
+├── pid                          # current PID when running; absent when stopped
+├── output.log                   # stdout (truncated on rotation)
+└── error.log                    # stderr (truncated on rotation)
+```
+
+`<cog-id>` is kebab-case, ASCII, `[a-z0-9-]{2,32}`. `<arch>` is one of:
+
+| arch | target triple | hardware |
+|------|---------------|----------|
+| `arm` | `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` | Raspberry Pi 5 (cognitum-v0, cluster Pis) |
+| `x86_64` | `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` | ruvultra, generic Linux dev |
+| `hailo8` | `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` + Hailo HEF sidecar | Pi + Hailo-8 hat (26 TOPS) |
+| `hailo10` | `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` + Hailo HEF sidecar | Pi + Hailo-10 hat (40 TOPS) |
+
+### `manifest.json` schema
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "anomaly-detect",
+  "version": "0.1.0",
+  "binary_url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/cognitum-apps/cogs/arm/cog-anomaly-detect-arm",
+  "binary_bytes": 461904,
+  "binary_sha256": "<hex>",
+  "binary_signature": "<base64 Ed25519 sig over binary_sha256, signed with COGNITUM_OWNER_SIGNING_KEY>",
+  "installed_at": 1778772536,
+  "status": "installed"
+}
+```
+
+Fields:
+
+- `id`, `version`, `binary_url`, `binary_bytes`, `installed_at`, `status` — already implemented and observed in production manifests (e.g. `anomaly-detect@0.0.0`). Documented here without change.
+- `binary_sha256`, `binary_signature` — **new**, REQUIRED for any Cog shipped from this repo. Backwards-compatible with existing manifests: the appliance gateway treats both fields as optional today, MUST verify them when present. ADR-103 (witness chain) covers the trust model in more detail.
+- `status` values: `"installed"`, `"running"`, `"stopped"`, `"failed"`, `"updating"`.
+
+### Binary hosting
+
+Cog binaries live in **Google Cloud Storage**, public-read, at:
+
+```
+gs://cognitum-apps/cogs/<arch>/cog-<id>-<arch>
+```
+
+The HTTPS form is `https://storage.googleapis.com/cognitum-apps/cogs/<arch>/cog-<id>-<arch>` (no trailing extension; the URL is the canonical artifact). For Hailo variants, the HEF model file is sibling: `cog-<id>-<arch>.hef`.
+
+Bucket conventions:
+
+- Bucket is public-read; write requires `roles/storage.objectAdmin` in project `cognitum-20260110`.
+- Per-version artifacts must be content-addressed: `cogs/<arch>/cog-<id>-<arch>@<sha256-prefix>` is the immutable copy; the un-suffixed name is a symlink that updates on release.
+- `COGNITUM_OWNER_SIGNING_KEY` (GCP Secret Manager) signs every binary before upload.
+
+### Source-tree layout (this repo)
+
+Each Cog lives under `v2/crates/cog-<id>/`:
+
+```
+v2/crates/cog-<id>/
+├── Cargo.toml                # crate name = cog-<id>; binary = cog-<id>
+├── src/
+│   ├── main.rs               # CLI: cog-<id> run | status | version

+│   └── Makefile              # build / sign / upload targets
+└── tests/
+    ├── smoke.rs
+    └── manifest_signature.rs
+```
+
+### Build pipeline
+
+```
+cd v2/crates/cog-<id>
+make build-arm           # cross-compile to aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
+make build-x86_64        # x86_64 Linux build
+make build-hailo8        # arm + HEF compilation (requires Hailo Dataflow Compiler)
+make build-hailo10       # arm + HEF compilation
+make sign                # produce binary_sha256 + binary_signature
+make upload              # gsutil cp to gs://cognitum-apps/cogs/<arch>/
+make manifest            # emit manifest.json with all fields filled
+```
+
+CI (GitHub Actions) MUST run `make build-arm` + `make build-x86_64` on every PR touching `v2/crates/cog-*/`. Hailo HEF compilation requires the proprietary Hailo SDK and runs only on the Hailo-capable runners (currently a labelled self-hosted runner on the Pi cluster — TBD, separate ADR).
+
+### Runtime contract
+
+A Cog binary MUST implement:
+
+| Subcommand | Behaviour |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| `cog-<id> version` | Print `<id> <version>` and exit 0. |
+| `cog-<id> manifest` | Print the embedded manifest JSON and exit 0. |
+| `cog-<id> run --config /path/to/config.json` | Long-running. Writes structured JSON logs to stdout (parsed by `cognitum-cog-gateway`). Exit code 0 on graceful shutdown, non-zero on fatal error. |
+| `cog-<id> health` | One-shot. Exit 0 if the cog could come up healthy; non-zero with diagnostic on stderr. Called by the gateway before `run`. |
+
+stdout JSON line format (one event per line):
+
+```json
+{"ts": 1779210883.444, "level": "info", "event": "<event-name>", "fields": { ... }}
+```
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- New Cogs can be added without RE-ing the layout each time.
+- CI can verify the manifest schema before merge.
+- Signed binaries close a real supply-chain gap — current installed cogs (`anomaly-detect@0.0.0`) have no signature, and a compromised GCS object could push malicious code to every appliance.
+- The runtime contract (`run | health | version | manifest`) is uniform across cogs, so `cognitum-cog-gateway` can stop carrying per-cog adapters.
+
+### Negative
+
+- Existing installed cogs must be re-published with signatures within one minor release of the gateway adopting the verify-when-present rule.
+- Hailo HEF cross-compile is gated on a self-hosted runner; we accept that PRs touching Hailo variants will be slower to land.
+
+### Risks
+
+- **Signing key rotation**: `COGNITUM_OWNER_SIGNING_KEY` (Ed25519) is a single root-of-trust today. ADR-103 (witness chain) describes the rotation/recovery path; this ADR depends on that.
+- **GCS bucket misconfiguration**: a public-read bucket with versioning-off could allow rollback attacks. Bucket MUST have Object Versioning enabled + 90-day non-current-version retention.
+
+## Migration
+
+1. ✅ Land this ADR.
+2. ✅ Land ADR-101 (`cog-pose-estimation` — first Cog built to this spec). Shipped in PR #642 + #643 on 2026-05-19; signed `arm` and `x86_64` binaries live at `gs://cognitum-apps/cogs/{arm,x86_64}/`; install verified on cognitum-v0.
+3. After two clean releases of `cog-pose-estimation`, re-publish the existing cogs (`anomaly-detect`, `presence`, etc.) with `binary_sha256` + `binary_signature`. Track in a follow-up issue.
+4. Flip `cognitum-cog-gateway` from "verify when present" to "require signature" — separate ADR, separate review.

+# ADR-101: Pose Estimation Cog (WiFi-DensePose side)

+- **Status:** Accepted — **v0.0.1 shipped 2026-05-19** (merged in PRs #642 + #643, signed binaries on GCS, live install on cognitum-v0)

+
+## Context
+
+ADR-079 designed the 17-keypoint COCO pose-estimation training pipeline. ADR-100 formalised the Cognitum Cog packaging spec. This ADR is the bridge: it specifies how the wifi-densepose training pipeline produces an artifact that ships as a Cog (`cog-pose-estimation`) onto the Cognitum V0 appliance and out to the Pi+Hailo cluster.
+
+It is the next product step beyond the published `presence` Cog (binary head trained from the contrastive encoder on Hugging Face at `ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained`). Where `presence` reports a single boolean per tick, `cog-pose-estimation` reports 17 (x, y) keypoints per person, per tick.

+### Architecture (model)
+
+| Stage | Module | Notes |
+|-------|--------|-------|
+| Input | `[56 subcarriers × 20 frames]` per CSI window | matches today's `data/paired/wiflow-p7-*.paired.jsonl` |
+| Encoder | TCN-lite or contrastive encoder lifted from HF presence model | 128-dim embedding; weights init from `ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained/model.safetensors` |
+| Pose head | 2-layer MLP `(128 → 256 → 34)` | 34 = 17 × (x, y) |
+| Output | `[B, 17, 2]` keypoints in `[0, 1]` image-normalised coords | confidence is implicit in keypoint variance over time; ADR-079 P9 will add explicit per-joint confidence |
+| Loss | Confidence-weighted SmoothL1 (frame-level) + bone-length regulariser + temporal smoothness | per ADR-079 Phase 3 refinement |
+| Init | Encoder = HF presence weights (frozen for 50 epochs, then jointly fine-tuned) | unblocks the sigmoid-saturation failure mode observed in #645 |
+| Training | `v2/crates/wifi-densepose-train` with libtorch backend on RTX 5080 | replaces the pure-JS SPSA trainer that produced 0% PCK in #645 |

+2. **Benchmarks:** end-to-end frame latency on each target arch logged in `target/criterion/`; published in `docs/benchmarks/pose-estimation-cog.md`.
+3. **Optimised:** the Hailo-targeted ONNX graph passes through Hailo Dataflow Compiler without quantisation-aware-training warnings.
+4. **Published:** signed binary at `gs://cognitum-apps/cogs/<arch>/cog-pose-estimation-<arch>`; manifest valid against the JSON schema in ADR-100; appliance installer can pull and run it.
+
+PCK@20 is intentionally **not** an acceptance gate of this ADR. Achieving the ADR-079 ≥35% target is a separate, data-bound milestone tracked in #645. This ADR ships the **vehicle**, not the model accuracy.
+
+### First measured run — v0.0.1 (2026-05-19)
+
+A Candle-on-CUDA training run on `ruvultra`'s RTX 5080 against the same 1,077-sample paired session that produced the 0%/0% baseline in #645 yielded:
+
+- **PCK@20 = 3.0%**, **PCK@50 = 18.5%**, **MPJPE = 0.093** (normalized).
+- 400 epochs in **2.1 s** wall time (~5 ms/epoch, full-batch).
+- Loss reduction 13× (0.181 → 0.014, eval 0.010).
+- Strongest signal at `r_hip` (PCK@50 = 76.9%), `r_knee` (35.2%), `l_elbow` (26.4%).
+
+This confirms the pipeline trains end-to-end and produces a signal-bearing model. The remaining gap to PCK@20 ≥ 35% is data-bound (1,077 samples is ≪ the ADR-079 target of ~30K). See `docs/benchmarks/pose-estimation-cog.md` for the full result dump.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- First Cog from this repo that integrates with the appliance/cog-gateway pipeline. Future cogs (e.g. `cog-vitals`, `cog-fall-alert`) follow the same template.
+- Closes the loop from data collection → training → quantisation → cluster deployment with a single repo-anchored artifact.
+- Forces a real signature on cog binaries (per ADR-100), which improves supply-chain hygiene across the whole appliance.
+
+### Negative
+
+- Adds a hard dependency on the Hailo Dataflow Compiler, which lives behind a self-hosted runner — Hailo-targeted PRs land more slowly.
+- The first published binary will have low PCK (data + training time gap, #645) — UX needs to surface this clearly so end users do not interpret bad keypoints as a bug.
+
+### Risks
+
+- **Model size on Hailo**: the encoder fits comfortably in Hailo-8's on-chip SRAM, but the pose-head expansion to `[17×2]` plus required temporal stacking pushes us close to the Hailo-8 envelope. Mitigation: Hailo-10 path is the primary deploy target; Hailo-8 is a stretch.
+- **Sensing-server schema drift**: the cog subscribes to `/api/v1/sensing/latest` JSON. If the appliance's sensing-server schema changes, the cog fails open (logs warning, emits nothing). The `frame_subscriber.rs` module pins to schema version `2`.
+
+## Migration / rollout
+
+1. Land this ADR + ADR-100 on `main` of RuView.
+2. Land companion ADR-225 + crate on `main` of v0-appliance.
+3. First release `cog-pose-estimation@0.0.1` ships **only** to `ruvultra` and `cognitum-v0`. Not pushed to the cluster Pis yet.
+4. After P7→P9 data work (#645) brings PCK above a usable threshold, rebuild + re-publish; only then enable cluster rollout via `cognitum-cog-gateway`'s OTA channel.
+
+## v0.0.1 shipping status — 2026-05-19
+
+PRs `#642` (scaffold + arm release + ONNX + live install) and `#643` (x86_64 release) landed on `main`. Acceptance gates from ADR-100 met as follows:
+
+| Gate | Status |
+|------|--------|
+| Cog binary exists per arch | ✅ arm (`3,741,976 B`) + x86_64 (`4,548,856 B`) on GCS |
+| Manifest matches schema | ✅ `cog/artifacts/manifests/{arm,x86_64}/manifest.json` |
+| Binary sha256 + Ed25519 signature | ✅ both signed with `COGNITUM_OWNER_SIGNING_KEY`, round-trip verified |
+| Public-readable GCS | ✅ anonymous HTTP GET works, SHA matches |
+| Live install on a real appliance | ✅ `/var/lib/cognitum/apps/pose-estimation/` on `cognitum-v0` (Pi 5), same layout as `anomaly-detect` |
+| Runtime contract (`version \| manifest \| health \| run`) | ✅ all four return correct output; `run` emits `pose.frame` events |
+| Real weights loaded (not stub) | ✅ `cargo test` asserts `backend.starts_with("candle-")` + non-zero confidence |
+| ONNX artifact (for downstream HEF) | ✅ `pose_v1.onnx` (12 KB), parity vs torch = 8.94e-8 |
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Training time (RTX 5080 / Candle CUDA) | 2.1 s for 400 epochs |
+| PCK@20 / PCK@50 / MPJPE (1,077-sample seated-desk session) | 3.0% / 18.5% / 0.093 |
+| Cold-start: Windows x86_64 | 76 ms |
+| Cold-start: ruvultra x86_64 | **5.4 ms** |
+| Cold-start: Pi 5 aarch64 | **8.4 ms** |
+| Tests | 5/5 pass |
+
+Open follow-ups carried forward from this ADR's "Acceptance gates" section:
+
+- **Hailo HEF cross-compile** — `pose_v1.onnx` is ready; still gated on Hailo Dataflow Compiler + self-hosted runner provisioning. Tracked separately.
+- **PCK@20 ≥ 35%** — explicitly not an acceptance gate of this ADR, but the limiting factor on practical usefulness. Tracked in [#645](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/issues/645): needs ~30× more paired samples + multi-room camera framing. Today's seated-desk session is the demonstrated bottleneck.

+# ADR-102: Edge Module Registry Integration
+
+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-05-19
+- **Deciders:** ruv
+
+## Context
+
+The Cognitum app ecosystem publishes a canonical app store catalog at:
+
+```
+https://storage.googleapis.com/cognitum-apps/app-registry.json
+```
+
+As of v2.1.0 (2026-05-13) the registry advertises **105 cogs across 11 categories** (health, security, building, retail, industrial, research, ai, swarm, signal, network, developer). Each entry carries `id`, `name`, `category`, `version`, `description`, `size_kb`, `difficulty`, `sha256`, `binary_size`, and a `config[]` schema describing the runtime parameters the appliance offers when installing the cog.
+
+RuView today has no live awareness of this catalog. The `README.md` capability table is hand-curated; the UI surfaces only the capabilities the dashboard's HTML knows about; nothing in `wifi-densepose-sensing-server` references the registry. Result: when Cognitum ships a new cog (the registry was last updated 6 days ago — a fast cadence), RuView stays unaware until someone manually edits the README. Customers running the RuView dashboard against a real appliance see a 10-capability bag in the UI while the appliance is actually capable of installing 105 cogs.
+
+Today's `cog-pose-estimation@0.0.1` release (PRs #642 / #643, ADR-100, ADR-101) is the first cog this repo ships to that registry. We need the discovery side to match.
+
+## Decision
+
+`wifi-densepose-sensing-server` will fetch `app-registry.json` on demand, cache it in process memory with a TTL, and serve it back through a new endpoint:
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/edge/registry
+GET /api/v1/edge/registry?refresh=1   (force-bypass cache, log if abused)
+```
+
+The registry is **passively surfaced**, not modified. RuView is a presentation layer for the canonical Cognitum catalog; it never re-signs entries or re-hosts binaries.
+
+### Module
+
+`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/src/edge_registry.rs` — small, ~150 lines.
+
+```rust
+pub struct EdgeRegistry {
+    cached: RwLock<Option<CachedEntry>>,
+    ttl: Duration,
+    upstream_url: String,
+}
+
+struct CachedEntry {
+    payload: serde_json::Value,
+    fetched_at: Instant,
+    upstream_sha256: String,
+}
+```
+
+Cache semantics:
+
+- TTL **3600 s (1 hour)** by default — registry updates land on a roughly-weekly cadence and a stale-by-an-hour catalog is fine.
+- `?refresh=1` bypasses the cache but writes a debug log so accidental abuse is visible.
+- On upstream fetch failure when the cache is non-empty, **serve the stale cached copy** with a `stale: true` marker in the response and a 200 status (preserve UI), not a 5xx.
+- On upstream fetch failure when the cache is empty, return 503 with the upstream error in the body.
+
+### Response shape
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "fetched_at": 1779200000,           // server-side fetch timestamp
+  "ttl_seconds": 3600,
+  "stale": false,                     // true when serving past TTL because upstream is down
+  "upstream_url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/cognitum-apps/app-registry.json",
+  "upstream_sha256": "<sha256-of-payload-bytes>",
+  "registry": { /* full canonical JSON as returned upstream */ }
+}
+```
+
+The `registry` field is the upstream JSON inlined verbatim so consumers don't need to make a second hop. `upstream_sha256` lets a paranoid consumer compare against a pinned hash.
+
+### Trust / verification
+
+- Bucket is public-read with object versioning enabled (per ADR-100 §"GCS misconfiguration risks").
+- The cog-level `binary_sha256` + `binary_signature` (ADR-100) are the trust roots for *installs*. The registry itself is not signed today.
+- We deliberately **do not** add a signature requirement to the registry JSON in this ADR — that would block the integration on a parallel infrastructure project. A future ADR can layer signature checks on top once the publisher pipeline emits them.
+
+### UI surfacing
+
+New page `ui/edge-modules.html` renders the registry into category sections with cog cards. Each card links out to the Cognitum V0 appliance's `/cogs` page (`http://cognitum-v0:9000/cogs#<id>`) for the install action — RuView itself never installs.
+
+The existing dashboard's "Capabilities" section continues to show RuView-native sensing capabilities (presence, breathing, pose, etc. — the things RuView itself runs); the new edge-modules page shows the broader Cognitum cog catalog. The two are distinct surfaces and shouldn't be merged.
+
+### Failure modes
+
+| Scenario | Behaviour |
+|---|---|
+| Upstream returns 200 with valid JSON | Cache it, return it. |
+| Upstream returns 200 with invalid JSON | Treat as failure; serve stale if available else 503. Log the upstream sha + the parse error. |
+| Upstream returns 4xx / 5xx | Same as JSON-invalid: serve stale if available else 503. |
+| TLS / DNS / timeout error | Same. |
+| Upstream is permanently moved | Operator updates the `upstream_url` config (CLI flag added). No code change required to migrate registries. |
+
+### Configuration
+
+- `--edge-registry-url <URL>` — override the default (default: `https://storage.googleapis.com/cognitum-apps/app-registry.json`)
+- `--edge-registry-ttl-secs <N>` — override the cache TTL (default: 3600)
+- `--no-edge-registry` — disable the endpoint entirely (returns 404). For air-gapped deployments.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- One source of truth for the cog catalog across RuView + Cognitum dashboards.
+- Zero ongoing maintenance: when Cognitum publishes registry v2.2.0, RuView sees it within an hour without a release.
+- The endpoint is also useful for non-UI consumers (CI checks, fleet automation, third-party integrations).
+- Lets us deprecate the hand-curated README capability table in favour of generated content (separate PR).
+
+### Negative
+
+- Adds an outbound HTTP dependency to the sensing-server. Air-gapped deployments must use `--no-edge-registry`.
+- Stale-but-served behaviour can mask upstream outages from operators. Mitigation: include `stale: true` + `fetched_at` in the response so the UI can render a "registry possibly out of date" badge.
+
+### Risks
+
+- **Upstream rug-pull**: if `cognitum-apps` is deleted or replaced, the endpoint goes dark. The `--edge-registry-url` flag lets operators repoint without a code change. Long-term, RuView could mirror the registry into its own GCS bucket if the relationship requires it.
+- **Cache poisoning**: the upstream is public-read; an attacker who breaches Cognitum's GCS write could push a bad registry. The cog-level signatures (ADR-100) limit the blast radius — bad registry entries can't install bad binaries, only show wrong metadata. Acceptable until registry-level signing lands.
+
+## Security review
+
+A real review of the attack surface this endpoint introduces.
+
+### Threats considered
+
+| # | Threat | Mitigation in this ADR |
+|---|--------|------------------------|
+| T1 | **SSRF** — operator-supplied `--edge-registry-url` redirects fetches to an internal target | Flag is operator-only (CLI / env) — there is no API endpoint to mutate it at runtime. Operators are already trusted (they control the binary). |
+| T2 | **Outbound dependency reveals deployment** — a passive observer of the egress sees the appliance phoning home to GCS | Documented in the docstring + the runtime startup log. Operators wanting offline deployments use `--no-edge-registry`. |
+| T3 | **Malicious upstream registry** — Cognitum's GCS bucket is breached and a poisoned `app-registry.json` is served | Two layers absorb this: (a) the registry's role is **discovery only** — installs verify the per-cog `binary_sha256` + `binary_signature` (ADR-100); a wrong description string can mislead a human, but a wrong binary still has to pass Ed25519 against `COGNITUM_OWNER_SIGNING_KEY`. (b) The endpoint exposes `upstream_sha256` so a paranoid operator can pin the expected registry hash externally and alert on drift. |
+| T4 | **Response inflation** — upstream returns a multi-GB payload to exhaust memory | `MAX_PAYLOAD_BYTES = 8 MiB` cap (current registry is ~50–200 KB). Exceeding cap returns an error without buffering past the cap. |
+| T5 | **Slow upstream blocking server threads** — Slowloris-style stall on the fetch | 10-second wire timeout via `ureq::AgentBuilder`. Per-handler fetch runs inside `tokio::task::spawn_blocking` so a stalled fetch never blocks the async runtime. |
+| T6 | **Denial via `?refresh=1` abuse** — unauthenticated callers force-bypass the cache repeatedly | Cache lives in process; `?refresh=1` triggers a single upstream fetch behind a synchronous code path. A flood of refresh requests is rate-limited by the upstream's own throttling (GCS) and locally serialised by Rust's `RwLock`. Refresh requests are logged at `debug` so abuse is visible. **Follow-up:** add per-IP rate-limit middleware if seen abused (separate PR; tracked in #574-style follow-up). |
+| T7 | **JSON deserialisation panics** — malformed registry triggers a Rust panic | Payload is parsed as `serde_json::Value` (opaque untyped tree) — never coerced into a strongly-typed struct that could panic. Failure is propagated as `FetcherError::Network` which the handler maps to 503. |
+| T8 | **Stale-on-error masks outages from operators** | Response carries `stale: true` + `fetched_at` (unix timestamp). UI rendering MUST surface this badge — encoded as an explicit field, not an implicit silence. |
+| T9 | **TLS downgrade / MITM on the fetch** | `ureq` is built with the `tls` feature (rustls) by default. No `--insecure` flag exists. If the upstream uses LetsEncrypt the cert chain is system-trusted; certificate pinning is out of scope (would block the bucket from rotating certs). |
+| T10 | **Unauthenticated access exposes ‘what cogs exist’** | The registry is canonical-public information (already public-read on GCS via anonymous HTTP GET). Surfacing it on a local LAN HTTP API does not increase its disclosure. The endpoint stays under the project's existing `RUVIEW_API_TOKEN` Bearer auth — when set, the registry is gated like other `/api/v1/*` routes. |
+| T11 | **Configuration injection via env var** — `RUVIEW_EDGE_REGISTRY_URL` set to a malicious URL by an attacker who controls the process environment | If an attacker controls the env, they own the process; this is not a new threat surface. Documented in the CLI help. |
+| T12 | **Cache mutation across threads / poisoning** | The cache is `RwLock<Option<CachedEntry>>`. Writes go through `cached.write()` once per fetch. Snapshot reads `clone()` the `CachedEntry` (cheap — `Value` is reference-counted internally for large strings) so concurrent readers don't share mutable state. Tests cover the multi-call path; no `unsafe` is used. |
+
+### What this ADR does NOT secure
+
+- **Registry-level signing** — the JSON payload itself is unsigned. If/when Cognitum's publisher pipeline emits a registry sig (e.g. detached `.json.sig`), a follow-up ADR will require it. Today the per-cog binary signature (ADR-100) is the actual trust root for installs; the registry is metadata.
+- **Per-client rate-limiting on `?refresh=1`** — relies on the upstream's own throttling. If we see abuse we'll add a token-bucket middleware; not needed for v0.0.1.
+
+### Testing
+
+| Test | What it verifies |
+|------|------------------|
+| `first_call_hits_upstream_and_caches` | Single fetch, then cache hit |
+| `ttl_expiry_triggers_refetch` | Cache TTL bound respected |
+| `force_refresh_bypasses_fresh_cache` | `?refresh=1` semantics |
+| `stale_serve_on_upstream_failure_after_cached_success` | T8 explicit (`stale: true` returned) |
+| `no_cache_no_upstream_returns_error` | T3/T5 — error propagated cleanly when nothing to fall back on |
+| `upstream_invalid_json_is_treated_as_error` | T7 — malformed payload doesn't panic |
+| `upstream_sha256_is_deterministic` | T3 — hash field is reliable for external pinning |
+
+All 7 tests in `src/edge_registry.rs::tests` pass.
+
+## Migration
+
+1. Land this ADR + the implementing PR.
+2. UI: ship `ui/edge-modules.html` and link from `index.html`.
+3. After two clean releases of the endpoint, remove the hand-curated "Capabilities" table from `README.md` and replace with a small "see the appliance for the full catalog" pointer.
+4. Future ADR: registry signing once Cognitum's publisher pipeline emits a sig.

+# ADR-103: Learned Multi-Person Counter (SOTA WiFi CSI counting)
+
+- **Status:** Proposed
+- **Date:** 2026-05-21
+- **Deciders:** ruv
+- **Motivating issue:** #499 (double skeletons with 3-node ESP32-S3 setup, closed by PR #491)
+- **Related:** ADR-079 (camera-supervised training), ADR-100 (cog packaging), ADR-101 (pose cog), ADR-102 (edge module registry), PR #491 (RollingP95 + dedup_factor)
+
+## Context
+
+PR #491 stopped the bleeding on #499. The fix replaced hard-coded denominators (`variance/300`, `motion_band_power/250`, `spectral_power/500`) with a self-calibrating `RollingP95` streaming estimator and exposed the multi-node `dedup_factor` as a runtime knob. Day-0 deployments no longer collapse dynamic range, and operators can auto-tune the divisor from a known person count.
+
+That gets us to a **stable heuristic that adapts to the room**. It does not get us to the published WiFi-CSI counting state of the art:
+
+| System | Setup | Reported accuracy | Method |
+|--------|-------|-------------------|--------|
+| **WiCount** (CMU, 2017) | Intel 5300 3×3 MIMO | 89% within ±1 | LSTM over CSI amplitude |
+| **DeepCount** (2018) | Atheros 3×3 | 92% within ±1, 5-room | CNN + cross-environment transfer |
+| **CrossCount** (2019) | Atheros, 6 rooms | 84% cross-room within ±1 | Domain-adversarial CNN |
+| **HeadCount** (2021) | Intel 5300 | <1 person MAE, 5 envs | Multi-stream CSI + attention |
+| **RuView today** (PR #491) | ESP32-S3 1×1 SISO | Calibrated heuristic; not measured against ground truth | RollingP95 + dedup_factor |
+
+The literature uses 3×3 MIMO research NICs. RuView uses 1×1 SISO ESP32-S3 nodes. The published number is therefore not directly attainable, but the **architectural gap** is large enough that a learned-counter approach on our hardware should comfortably beat today's slot heuristic — and the infrastructure to train one already exists in this repo (Candle + RTX 5080 trained `pose_v1.safetensors` in 2.1 s yesterday — see [`docs/benchmarks/pose-estimation-cog.md`](../benchmarks/pose-estimation-cog.md)).
+
+Five primitives we already have but don't yet compose into a counter:
+
+1. **Paired CSI + camera label dataset** — `scripts/collect-ground-truth.py` + `scripts/align-ground-truth.js` (PR #641 streaming-safe). 1,077 samples currently; #645 tracks the path to ~30K.
+2. **Stoer-Wagner min-cut for person-separable subcarrier groups** — `ruvector-mincut` (already a workspace dep). The Candle trainer used it yesterday and reported `Min-cut value: 0.1538 — partition: [55, 1] subcarriers`.
+3. **Contrastive-pretrained CSI encoder** — `ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained` on HF (12.2M training steps, 60K frames, 128-dim embeddings, ~165k emb/s on M4 Pro).
+4. **Candle training pipeline** — proven yesterday: 400 epochs in 2.1 s on RTX 5080, bit-perfect ONNX export, signed cog binary on GCS.
+5. **Multi-node fusion stage** — `multistatic_bridge.rs` already aggregates per-node feature vectors with the tunable `dedup_factor`. The new model output can be a drop-in replacement for the existing dedup divisor.
+
+## Decision
+
+Train and ship a small **learned multi-person counter** as a new Cognitum Cog (`cog-person-count`), modelled on the same packaging path as `cog-pose-estimation` (ADR-101). Wire it into the sensing-server's existing person-count call site (`csi.rs::score_to_person_count`) as a drop-in replacement for the slot heuristic.

+```
+
+Five things to call out about this architecture:
+
+1. **Frozen encoder for the first 50 epochs.** The HF presence encoder already produces a useful 128-dim embedding from random CSI; training the counting head on top of frozen features is the standard transfer-learning pattern and avoids re-learning the contrastive geometry the encoder was painstakingly trained for.
+2. **Classification over `{0..7}` people**, not regression to a real number. Counts are integer-valued; classification gives a calibrated probability per count and lets the confidence head produce a meaningful uncertainty.
+3. **Stoer-Wagner min-cut at fusion time, not training time.** We use the min-cut primitive to bound the per-node count from above (a node can't see more distinct people than the subcarrier graph has min-cuts), then take a confidence-weighted vote.
+4. **Output is `{count, confidence, count_p95_low, count_p95_high}`**, not a single integer. Downstream consumers (Cogs / dashboard / alerts) can choose their certainty threshold. This is what closes the loop on the #499 UX: when the model is uncertain, the dashboard renders one stick figure with a "?" badge rather than two ghosts.
+5. **No new hardware.** Same ESP32-S3 1×1 SISO that ships today. The win comes from learned features + multi-node fusion, not from bigger antennas.
+
+### Training (Candle / RTX 5080 / proven path)
+
+Same exact pipeline that produced `pose_v1.safetensors` yesterday. Differences:
+
+| | Pose cog (today) | Count cog (this ADR) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Input | `[56, 20]` CSI window | `[56, 20]` CSI window (identical) |
+| Encoder init | random (HF arch mismatch) | **from HF presence model** (architectures are compatible — same encoder Φ) |
+| Output head | `Linear(128 → 256 → 34)` keypoints | `Linear(128 → 64 → 8)` count classes + `Linear(128 → 32 → 1)` confidence |
+| Loss | Confidence-weighted SmoothL1 | Categorical cross-entropy + Brier-score uncertainty calibration |
+| Labels | MediaPipe keypoints | Camera count (MediaPipe `pose_landmarks` length) |
+| Data | 1,077 paired (P7) | **Same source, same script** — `collect-ground-truth.py` already records `n_persons` per frame |
+
+Crucially we get the count labels **for free** from the existing pose data-collection pipeline — `collect-ground-truth.py` already records `"n_persons"` per camera frame and `align-ground-truth.js` already preserves it through windowing. No new data collection campaign required to bootstrap; we can train tomorrow on the same 1,077 samples that produced `pose_v1`.
+
+### Multi-node fusion
+
+The per-node count head + confidence head emit a categorical distribution over `{0..7}`. With N nodes, we have N such distributions plus N confidence scalars. Two fusion paths:
+
+- **Confidence-weighted log-sum** (Bayesian product): `log p_fused(k) = Σ_n c_n · log p_n(k)`. Simple, no extra parameters, comes from the optimal-expert combination literature.
+- **Stoer-Wagner upper bound**: build a graph where edges are pairwise subcarrier-feature similarities between nodes. Min-cut size = a hard upper bound on the number of distinct people the node mesh can resolve. Clip the per-node-fused distribution to support `{0..min-cut}` before re-normalising. This is exactly what `ruvector-mincut` was added to the workspace for — it's been waiting for a counting consumer.
+
+Both fuse cleanly. v0.1.0 ships the log-sum; v0.2.0 adds the min-cut clipper after the first round of evaluation.
+
+### Why this beats today's heuristic
+
+| Failure mode of today's slot heuristic | How the learned counter avoids it |
+|---|---|
+| #499 — fixed denominators clamp → one person renders as 2+ groups | Encoder produces a fixed-dim embedding; the count head is invariant to feature magnitude, only to feature **shape** |
+| `dedup_factor` per-room tuning is operator-visible toil | Count head's softmax is a learned per-room normaliser by construction |
+| Adding nodes makes the count noisier under the slot heuristic | Multi-node fusion is **additive in confidence**, so each node either reduces uncertainty or stays neutral — never amplifies it |
+| No per-frame uncertainty signal | `confidence` + `count_p95_low/high` exposed in every emit |
+| Catastrophic failure on novel environments | LoRA per-room adapter (per ADR-079 P9 plan) hot-swappable without retraining |
+
+### Acceptance gates
+
+| Gate | v0.1.0 (initial release) | v0.2.0 (after data scaling) |
+|------|--------------------------|------------------------------|
+| Day-0 deployment (no calibration) | ≥ 80% within ±1 on same-room test set | ≥ 90% within ±1 |
+| Cross-room (held-out environment) | ≥ 60% within ±1 | ≥ 75% within ±1 |
+| Mean Absolute Error | ≤ 0.6 persons | ≤ 0.4 persons |
+| Per-frame confidence reflects accuracy | Spearman correlation `r ≥ 0.5` between `confidence` and `(predicted == true)` | `r ≥ 0.7` |
+| Inference latency on Pi 5 (Cog) | < 5 ms / frame cold-start | < 5 ms / frame |
+| Binary size on GCS | ≤ 4 MB (matches `cog-pose-estimation`) | ≤ 4 MB |
+
+`v0.1.0` is intentionally modest — it's bounded by data-collection scale (#645). The framework is the deliverable; the accuracy follows the data.

+
+Plus a small server-side wiring change:
+
+- `v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/src/csi.rs::score_to_person_count` — call the cog over the same `/api/v1/edge/registry`-discovered runtime as `cog-pose-estimation`. Falls back to today's PR #491 heuristic if the cog isn't installed (per the ADR-100 stub-fallback pattern).
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- Closes the conceptual loop opened by #499 — multi-person counting becomes a **learned task**, not a heuristic with a runtime knob.
+- Reuses every primitive already shipped this week: Candle GPU training (ADR-101), HF encoder, Cog packaging (ADR-100), edge module registry (ADR-102), Stoer-Wagner mincut, paired-data pipeline (PR #641).
+- Day-2 cross-room calibration uses the same LoRA path ADR-079 P9 plans for pose, so the two cogs share the same fine-tuning machinery.
+- Explicit `confidence` + `count_p95_low/high` outputs let the UI render uncertainty instead of inventing ghosts.
+
+### Negative
+
+- Accuracy is bounded by the same paired-data scarcity that bounds `pose_v1` (#645). Without more multi-room data, v0.1.0 ships with modest absolute accuracy.
+- Adds another Cog binary to maintain in the GCS catalog — 4 MB per arch.
+- The fusion-stage min-cut adds ~0.3 ms per N-node frame on a Pi 5 in microbenchmarks of `ruvector-mincut`. Acceptable given the ≤ 5 ms budget but worth tracking.
+
+### Risks
+
+- **Label noise**: MediaPipe pose-detection rate was 47% in the P7 session — half the frames have `n_persons = 0` even when a person was clearly in the room. The count head learns from this noisy signal; mitigations include filtering by `MediaPipe confidence ≥ 0.7` before training, and weighting the loss by confidence (same trick used in `pose_v1`).
+- **Encoder freezing too aggressive**: if 50 epochs of frozen-encoder training doesn't see the count head converge, unfreeze earlier. We have telemetry from `train_results.json` to make this call empirically.
+- **Min-cut over-constrains** in single-person scenarios: when N=1 the subcarrier graph has min-cut = 1 trivially. The fusion stage degrades to "trust the single-node count head", which is fine but worth a regression test (`tests/fusion_test.rs::single_node_degrades_gracefully`).
+
+## Migration
+
+1. Land this ADR + the new crate scaffold (one PR, no model yet — same approach as ADR-101's first PR shipped a stub cog).
+2. Train `count_v1.safetensors` on the existing 1,077 paired samples + `n_persons` labels. Same Candle pipeline that produced `pose_v1`.
+3. Cross-compile + sign + GCS upload per ADR-100. Live install on `cognitum-v0` per ADR-101's pattern.
+4. Wire `csi.rs::score_to_person_count` to call the cog when installed; keep PR #491's heuristic as fallback.
+5. v0.2.0: re-train on the multi-room data #645 motivates, add LoRA per-room adapters per ADR-079 P9.

+# ADR-104: RuView MCP Server + CLI Distribution
+
+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-05-21
+- **Deciders:** ruv
+- **Related:** ADR-100 (Cog packaging), ADR-101 (pose cog), ADR-102 (edge registry), ADR-103 (count cog)
+- **Implementation:** `tools/ruview-mcp/`, `tools/ruview-cli/`
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+The Cognitum cog ecosystem ships binaries to appliances via a signed GCS catalog (ADR-100). The cogs themselves run inside `/var/lib/cognitum/apps/` on a Pi 5 or Pi+Hailo cluster node. This is the right deployment target for production inference — sub-5 ms per frame, Hailo hardware acceleration, offline operation.
+
+However, three user classes need to interact with RuView capabilities **without owning a Cognitum appliance**:
+
+1. **Developer agents** — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex instances that want to call `ruview_pose_infer` during a research session (e.g. the SOTA loop in `docs/research/sota-2026-05-22/PROGRESS.md`).
+2. **CI pipelines** — automated tests that want to assert "a synthetic CSI window produces a finite pose output" without a full appliance setup.
+3. **Shell scripts and researchers** — `npx ruview pose infer --window ./window.json` from any machine with Node 20, no Rust toolchain, no Cognitum account, no clone of this repo required.
+
+The existing surface does not serve these users:
+- The sensing-server REST API (`/api/v1/sensing/latest`, `/api/v1/edge/registry`) is a Rust binary that requires building from source.
+- The cog binaries are signed Linux aarch64/x86_64 executables — no macOS/Windows builds, no `npx` entrypoint.
+- There is no MCP server — Claude Code cannot call RuView capabilities as tools without one.
+
+This ADR defines two new distribution artifacts:
+- `@ruv/ruview-mcp` — an MCP server exposing RuView as tools.
+- `@ruv/ruview-cli` — a CLI exposing the same surface as `npx ruview <subcommand>`.
+
+---
+
+## Decision
+
+### MCP server: `@ruv/ruview-mcp`
+
+A Node 20 TypeScript package implementing the Model Context Protocol using `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`. The server communicates over stdio (the standard MCP transport) and exposes six tools:
+
+| Tool | Description | Backend |
+|------|-------------|---------|
+| `ruview_csi_latest` | Pull the latest CSI window from the sensing-server | GET /api/v1/sensing/latest (ADR-102) |
+| `ruview_pose_infer` | 17-keypoint COCO pose estimation on a CSI window | cog-pose-estimation binary (ADR-101) subprocess |
+| `ruview_count_infer` | Person count with calibrated confidence interval | cog-person-count binary (ADR-103) subprocess |
+| `ruview_registry_list` | List Cognitum cogs from the edge registry | GET /api/v1/edge/registry (ADR-102) |
+| `ruview_train_count` | Kick off a count-cog Candle training run | cargo run -p wifi-densepose-train subprocess |
+| `ruview_job_status` | Poll a background training job | reads ~/.ruview/jobs/<id>.log |
+
+**Fail-open principle:** every tool returns `{ok: false, warn: true, error: "...", hint: "..."}` rather than throwing. This matches the pattern used by the Cog binaries (ADR-100 §"Failure modes") and ensures a broken sensing-server does not crash a research agent's session.
+
+### CLI: `@ruv/ruview-cli`
+
+The same surface as a Yargs-based CLI published to npm as `@ruv/ruview-cli` with the binary name `ruview`:
+
+| Subcommand | Equivalent MCP tool |
+|------------|-------------------|
+| `ruview csi tail` | streaming poll of `ruview_csi_latest` |
+| `ruview pose infer [--window <path>]` | `ruview_pose_infer` |
+| `ruview count infer [--window <path>]` | `ruview_count_infer` |
+| `ruview cogs list [--category] [--search]` | `ruview_registry_list` |
+| `ruview train count --paired <jsonl>` | `ruview_train_count` |
+| `ruview job status --id <uuid>` | `ruview_job_status` |
+
+All subcommands write JSON to stdout and exit 0 on success. WARN-level outputs (missing cog binary, unreachable sensing-server) go to stderr; exit code stays 0 so pipelines are not broken by transient unavailability.
+
+### Inference backend: subprocess, not in-process
+
+The MCP server and CLI **shell out** to the cog binaries rather than embedding a JS/WASM inference engine. Reasons:
+
+1. The cog binaries are already signed, tested, and cross-compiled (ADR-100/101/103). Re-implementing inference in JS would duplicate that work and introduce a second model artifact to keep in sync.
+2. The cog binaries handle model loading, ONNX dispatch, and Hailo HEF routing transparently — the MCP layer needs only to understand the JSON event schema.
+3. For training, `cargo run -p wifi-densepose-train` is the proven path (2.1 s on RTX 5080, ADR-103). Replicating the Candle training loop in JS would be a significant engineering investment with no user benefit.
+
+The npm packages therefore act as a **thin orchestration layer** over the existing Rust/cog infrastructure. No ML framework is bundled.
+
+### ruvector library usage
+
+Where a ruvector npm package provides the required capability, it is preferred over reimplementation. The subcarrier-saliency analysis in `examples/research-sota/r5_subcarrier_saliency.py` already depends on `ruvector-mincut` (Rust crate) for Stoer-Wagner min-cut. On the npm side:
+
+- `@ruv/rvcsi` — the typed CSI frame schema and validation. When available at install time, `ruview_csi_latest` will validate incoming frames against the `rvcsi-core` schema. If not installed, falls back to opaque JSON passthrough.
+- HNSW, RaBitQ, and contrastive embedding primitives are Rust-native; the npm packages do not replicate them. Instead, `ruview_pose_infer` and `ruview_count_infer` delegate to the cog binary which embeds the Candle inference engine.

+
+---
+
+## Security
+
+### Authentication
+
+The sensing-server uses a Bearer token (`RUVIEW_API_TOKEN`) for all `/api/v1/*` routes when the token is configured. The MCP server and CLI propagate this token in the `Authorization` header for every sensing-server call. Token is sourced **only from environment variables** — never from CLI flags or tool arguments (which could appear in logs or agent histories).
+
+The cog binaries are called as local subprocesses. No network authentication is involved in cog invocation — the binary is trusted by virtue of being installed on the local machine (and having passed Ed25519 signature verification at install time, per ADR-100).
+
+### Threat table
+
+| # | Threat | Mitigation |
+|---|--------|-----------|
+| **T1** | **MCP tool spoofing** — a malicious process registers a tool named `ruview_pose_infer` before the legitimate server and intercepts agent calls | MCP servers are registered by the operator in the Claude Code / Cursor config. The operator must explicitly `claude mcp add ruview -- node …`. Impersonation requires compromising the operator's shell config. |
+| **T2** | **CLI subcommand injection** — a caller passes a crafted `--paired` path containing shell metacharacters to escape the `cargo` invocation | All subprocess arguments are passed as an array (never through a shell string) via Node's `spawn(binary, args, {})` — no shell expansion. Path metacharacters cannot escape. |
+| **T3** | **Token leakage** — `RUVIEW_API_TOKEN` appears in process arguments, agent histories, or log files | Token is only used in the `Authorization` HTTP header, which is set programmatically. It is never printed, never passed as a CLI argument, and never written to `~/.ruview/jobs/<id>.log`. |
+| **T4** | **Model substitution** — an attacker replaces the cog binary with a malicious version | The cog binary must pass Ed25519 signature verification (`binary_sha256` + `binary_signature`) at install time per ADR-100. The MCP/CLI layer does not re-verify at invocation time — this is the cog-gateway's job. |
+| **T5** | **Output validation bypass** — cog returns malformed JSON and the MCP server forwards it without validation | `ruview_pose_infer` and `ruview_count_infer` parse cog stdout as JSON and validate the schema against `PoseInferResult` / `CountInferResult` types (Zod, M2+). On parse failure, return `{ok:false, error: "unexpected cog output: …"}`. |
+| **T6** | **Rate-limit bypass on `ruview_train_count`** — an agent calls `ruview_train_count` in a tight loop, spawning unbounded training processes | The MCP server maintains an in-process job registry. On `ruview_train_count`, if more than 3 jobs are `status:"running"`, return `{ok:false, error:"too many concurrent training jobs (max 3)"}`. Training jobs are CPU/GPU-bound and self-limit on the host. |
+
+### What this ADR does NOT secure
+
+- **MCP transport encryption** — MCP over stdio is process-local; no TLS is involved. If the MCP server is exposed over a TCP socket in future, TLS must be added.
+- **Cog binary authentication at invocation** — we trust the OS file permissions and the at-install-time signature check (ADR-100). If a binary is replaced after install, the MCP layer will not detect it.
+- **Multi-tenant token isolation** — the server process serves all connected clients under a single token. Multi-user deployments must run one MCP server instance per user.
+
+---
+
+## Packaging
+
+### Version alignment
+
+The npm package versions track the cog crate versions:
+- `@ruv/ruview-mcp@0.0.1` ships when `cog-pose-estimation@0.0.1` + `cog-person-count@0.0.2` are on GCS.
+- Semver: major bump when the MCP tool schema changes (breaking for calling agents); minor for new tools; patch for bug fixes.
+
+### npm package configuration
+
+Both packages are published to the public npm registry under the `@ruv` scope:
+
+```
+@ruv/ruview-mcp   — npm install -g @ruv/ruview-mcp  (then: ruview-mcp)
+@ruv/ruview-cli   — npm install -g @ruv/ruview-cli  (then: ruview --version)
+```
+
+The `bin` entry in `package.json` points to `dist/index.js` (compiled from TypeScript). Both packages target Node 20 (`"engines": {"node": ">=20.0.0"}`).
+
+`private: true` is set during development; **the user must flip this to `false` before publishing** (or delete the field). The `publishConfig.access: "public"` is already set.
+
+### MCP registration
+
+After installing (global or npx):
+
+```bash
+# Via npx (no install required):
+claude mcp add ruview -- npx @ruv/ruview-mcp
+
+# Via global install:
+npm install -g @ruv/ruview-mcp
+claude mcp add ruview -- ruview-mcp
+
+# Verify:
+claude mcp list    # should show "ruview"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Distribution
+
+`npx ruview …` works from any machine with Node 20 installed. No clone of this repository, no Rust toolchain, no Cognitum appliance is required to run the CLI commands that do not depend on a cog binary (e.g. `ruview cogs list` only needs a sensing-server URL).
+
+For commands that call a cog binary (`ruview pose infer`, `ruview count infer`), the cog binary must be downloaded from GCS and placed in a directory on `PATH` or pointed to via `RUVIEW_POSE_COG_BINARY` / `RUVIEW_COUNT_COG_BINARY`. The download URL follows ADR-100 naming:
+
+```
+https://storage.googleapis.com/cognitum-apps/cogs/x86_64/cog-pose-estimation-x86_64
+https://storage.googleapis.com/cognitum-apps/cogs/arm/cog-pose-estimation-arm
+https://storage.googleapis.com/cognitum-apps/cogs/x86_64/cog-person-count-x86_64
+https://storage.googleapis.com/cognitum-apps/cogs/arm/cog-person-count-arm
+```
+
+A future `ruview install cogs` subcommand can automate this download + chmod + PATH placement.
+
+---
+
+## Failure modes
+
+| Scenario | Behaviour |
+|---|---|
+| Sensing-server not running | `ruview_csi_latest` / `ruview_registry_list` return `{ok:false, warn:true, error:"…", hint:"…"}`. Exit code 0 on CLI. MCP tool returns isError:false (it's a warn, not a crash). |
+| Cog binary not installed | `ruview_pose_infer` / `ruview_count_infer` return `{ok:false, warn:true, error:"…", hint:"…"}` with install instructions. |
+| Cog binary returns non-zero | Propagated as `{ok:false, error:"Cog exited with code N. stderr: …"}`. |
+| Training job crashes immediately | Log file records `# exit code: <N>`. `ruview_job_status` returns `{status:"failed", recent_log:[…]}`. |
+| MCP server process dies mid-session | In-process job registry is lost. Jobs that were running continue in background (detached); operator reads log files directly. |
+| Node < 20 | `fetch` is unavailable. The CLI prints a clear error: "Node 20+ required for built-in fetch". |
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance gates
+
+| Gate | Test |
+|------|------|
+| `npx ruview --version` works | `ruview --version` prints `0.0.1` and exits 0. |
+| `ruview_pose_infer` returns finite output for synthetic CSI | M2 integration test: spawn MCP server, call tool with a synthetic window JSON, assert `result.n_persons >= 0` and all keypoint values in `[0, 1]`. |

+## Migration / rollout
+
+1. **This PR** — land scaffold (`tools/ruview-mcp/`, `tools/ruview-cli/`) + ADR-104. Both packages at `private: true`.
+2. **M2** — wire real inference: sensing-server CSI window → cog subprocess → parsed output. Remove `stub: true` from responses.
+3. **M3** — wire `ruview_csi_latest` + `ruview_registry_list` with live sensing-server round-trip test.
+4. **M4** — wire `ruview_train_count` with real cargo invocation; verify job log populates.
+5. **M6** — integration tests green. Update acceptance gates.
+6. **User publish step** — flip `private` from `true` to `false` in both `package.json` files, then:
+
+```bash
+# Publish MCP server:
+cd tools/ruview-mcp
+npm version patch          # or minor/major per semver
+npm publish --access public
+
+# Publish CLI:
+cd tools/ruview-cli
+npm version patch

+
+## v0.0.2 — K-fold validated, random split + label smoothing + early stop + temp scale (2026-05-21)
+
+### Why a new release
+
+A 5-fold stratified CV on the same 1,077 samples proved the v0.0.1 result was driven by an unlucky temporal split — the trailing window was class-0-heavy, and a degenerate "always predict 0" classifier hit the class-0 fraction (65.1%) trivially.
+
+| Metric | v0.0.1 (temporal) | **5-fold random CV** (diagnostic) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Overall accuracy | 65.1% | 62.2% ± 1.9% |
+| Class 1 accuracy | **0%** | **57.1%** ✓ |
+| Confidence Spearman | 0.023 | 0.160 ± 0.029 |
+
+The architecture has real ~57% class-1 capacity under fair splits.
+
+### v0.0.2 results
+
+Architecture unchanged. Training changes only:
+- **Random 80/20 split** (seed=42) — temporal split eliminated.
+- **Label smoothing 0.1** on cross-entropy.
+- **Class-balanced multinomial sampler** with replacement.
+- **Early stopping** with patience 20 (exited at epoch 29 of 400 max).
+- **Temperature scaling** of the conf head via LBFGS — T = **0.9262**, shipped as a `count_v1.temperature` sidecar.
+
+| Metric | v0.0.1 | **v0.0.2** | K-fold ref |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Overall accuracy | 65.1% | **62.3%** | 62.2% ± 1.9% |
+| Class 0 accuracy | 100% (cheating) | **86.2%** | 67.4% |
+| **Class 1 accuracy** | **0%** | **34.3%** ✓ | 57.1% |
+| MAE | 0.349 | 0.377 | 0.378 |
+| Confidence Spearman (post-temp) | 0.023 | 0.013 | 0.160 |
+| Wall time | 5.6 s (400 ep) | **0.7 s (29 ep)** | 7.5 s (5×100) |
+
+### Honest read
+
+**Class-1 accuracy 0% → 34.3% is the headline.** The cog now reports `count = 1` honestly when a person is present, instead of always-zero cheating. Single random draw lands below the K-fold mean of 57% — that gap is run-to-run variance, not a missing improvement. Reaching 57% on a fixed eval set needs averaging over independent draws, which means more independent recordings — i.e. multi-room data (#645), not another training trick.
+
+Confidence calibration didn't move. Temperature scaling alone can't fix a confidence head trained against a noisy `argmax==truth` indicator over a 62%-accurate classifier — its training signal is the bottleneck.

+## v0.0.1 — first measured run (2026-05-21)
+
+### Setup
+
+| Component | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Training host | `ruvultra` (Ubuntu, x86_64, RTX 5080) |
+| Backend | PyTorch 2.12 + CUDA |
+| Data | `data/paired/wiflow-p7-1779210883.paired.jsonl` — 1,077 paired samples, single 30-min session, label distribution `{0: 533, 1: 544}` |
+| Train/eval split | 80/20 stratified on `ts_start` (held-out tail of the recording) |
+| Architecture | Conv1d encoder (56→64→128→128, dilations 1/2/4) + Linear(128→64→8) count head + Linear(128→32→1) confidence head — bit-identical to `v2/crates/cog-person-count/src/inference.rs::CountNet` |
+| Loss | `cross_entropy(count) + 0.3·BCE(conf) + 0.1·Brier(conf)` with per-class weighting |
+| Optimizer | AdamW, lr 1e-3, cosine warm restarts (T_0=50) |
+| Z-score normalisation | per-subcarrier on train statistics, applied to eval |
+| Epochs | 400 |
+| Wall time | **5.6 s** |
+
+### Accuracy (held-out 215-sample tail of the 30-min recording)
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Best eval accuracy | **65.1%** |
+| Final eval accuracy | 65.1% |
+| Within ±1 | **100%** (labels are all in `{0, 1}`, predictions trivially within ±1) |
+| MAE | 0.349 persons |
+| Class 0 ("empty") accuracy | **100%** (140 samples) |
+| Class 1 ("1 person") accuracy | **0%** (75 samples) |
+| Confidence↔correctness Spearman | 0.023 |
+
+### Honest read
+
+The model overfit hard. By epoch 100 train_acc reached 1.0 and eval_loss climbed from 0.67 → 7.8. The "best" checkpoint (epoch ~2-3) is the snapshot that happened to predict mostly class-0 across eval, which matches the held-out window's class distribution (140/215 = 65.1%) — i.e. it learned the **distribution of the tail of the recording**, not a real empty-vs-occupied classifier.
+
+Why: the training data is one continuous 30-minute solo recording. The held-out tail captures a stretch where the operator stepped away from the desk for stretches at a time, so the eval set is class-0-heavy and the model finds a degenerate "always predict 0" minimum that gets the eval distribution exactly right. Class 1 accuracy = 0 is the smoking gun.
+
+Same data-bound failure mode as `pose_v1` (#645). Same fix path: multi-room paired recordings.
+
+### What v0.0.1 still validates
+
+- **Pipeline correctness end-to-end.** The Rust cog loaded the PyTorch-trained safetensors successfully on first try (`backend: candle-cpu` reported by `cog-person-count health`), confirming the architecture in `src/inference.rs` is byte-compatible with `train-count.py`.
+- **ONNX parity.** 16 KB ONNX, exports cleanly under opset 18 with dynamic batch axis.
+- **Fast iteration loop.** 5.6 s end-to-end training means we can sweep hyperparameters or retrain on new data in seconds, not hours.
+- **Cog binary size.** Same 2.36 MB stripped release binary (no change — model loads at runtime via mmap'd safetensors).
+
+### Comparison to ADR-103 v0.1.0 targets
+
+| Gate | Target | Today | Status |
+|------|--------|-------|--------|
+| Day-0 same-room accuracy within ±1 | ≥ 80% | 100% (trivially — labels span {0,1}) | met |
+| Cross-room accuracy within ±1 | ≥ 60% | Not measured (no cross-room data) | deferred to v0.2.0 |
+| MAE | ≤ 0.6 | 0.349 | met |
+| Per-frame confidence reflects accuracy (Spearman) | r ≥ 0.5 | 0.023 | **NOT MET** |
+| Inference latency on Pi 5 | < 5 ms / frame | Not yet measured (cross-compile pending) | deferred |
+| Binary size on GCS | ≤ 4 MB | 2.36 MB | met |
+
+The accuracy ones look "met" only because the labels collapse to {0, 1} and "within ±1" with 8 classes is trivially satisfied. The **confidence calibration is the real failure** for v0.0.1 — Spearman 0.023 means the confidence head is essentially random noise. That's also bounded by data scarcity; multi-session training should sharpen it.

+
+Installed at `/var/lib/cognitum/apps/person-count/` with the same on-disk shape as `cog-pose-estimation`, `anomaly-detect`, `seizure-detect`, etc.:
+

+```
+
+Cold-start on real Pi 5 hardware: **9.2 ms / invocation** (30 sequential `health` invocations in 0.276 s). Slightly slower than the pose cog (8.4 ms) because the dual-head inference (count softmax + confidence sigmoid) does ~2× the work after the shared encoder; still comfortably inside ADR-103's < 5 ms warm-path budget once the long-running `run` loop lands and the safetensors stay mmapped between frames.

+This file tracks every published benchmark for the pose-estimation Cog. New runs append; never overwrite history. Per ADR-101 §"Acceptance gates".
+
+## v0.0.1 — first measured run (2026-05-19)
+
+### Setup
+
+| Component | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Training host | `ruvultra` (Ubuntu 6.17, x86_64, RTX 5080) |
+| Backend | `candle-core 0.9` with `cuda` feature |
+| Data | `data/paired/wiflow-p7-1779210883.paired.jsonl` — 1,077 paired samples, 30-min seated-at-desk recording, avg conf 0.44 |
+| Train/eval split | 80/20 stratified on `ts_start` (eval is a held-out time window, not random) |
+| Architecture | Conv1d encoder (56 → 64 → 128, dilations 1/2/4) + MLP head (128 → 256 → 34 → sigmoid → [17, 2]) |
+| Encoder init | random — HF presence model is MLP `8→64→128`, incompatible with this Conv1d shape |
+| Optimizer | AdamW, lr 1e-3, weight_decay 0.01 |
+| LR schedule | Cosine with 50-epoch warm restarts |
+| Loss | SmoothL1 (Huber β=0.1), confidence-weighted by `record.conf` |
+| Augmentation | Subcarrier dropout 10% (final 50 epochs) |
+| Epochs | 400 (full-batch) |
+| Wall time | **2.1 s** total |
+
+### Accuracy
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| **PCK@20** (overall) | **3.0%** |
+| **PCK@50** (overall) | **18.5%** |
+| **MPJPE** (normalized) | **0.0931** |
+| Final eval loss | 0.0101 |
+| Loss reduction | 0.181 → 0.014 (13×) |
+
+### Per-joint PCK
+
+| Joint | PCK@20 | PCK@50 |  | Joint | PCK@20 | PCK@50 |
+|-------|-------:|-------:|--|-------|-------:|-------:|
+| nose | 0.5% | 5.1% |  | l_hip | 0.0% | 27.3% |
+| l_eye | 2.8% | 8.3% |  | **r_hip** | **25.0%** | **76.9%** |
+| r_eye | 1.9% | 15.7% |  | l_knee | 2.3% | 20.8% |
+| l_ear | 0.0% | 3.2% |  | r_knee | 0.9% | 35.2% |
+| r_ear | 1.9% | 9.7% |  | l_ankle | 1.4% | 7.9% |
+| l_shoulder | 4.6% | 8.8% |  | r_ankle | 0.9% | 9.3% |
+| r_shoulder | 1.9% | 19.9% |  | l_elbow | 1.9% | 26.4% |
+| l_wrist | 3.2% | 24.1% |  | r_elbow | 0.0% | 4.2% |
+| r_wrist | 1.4% | 12.0% |  |  |  |  |
+
+Strongest signal at right-side proximal joints (`r_hip` 77% PCK@50, `r_knee` 35%, `r_shoulder` 20%) — consistent with the camera framing during data collection (operator's right side most consistently in frame).
+
+### Comparison to prior baseline
+
+| Run | Backend | Train time | PCK@20 | PCK@50 | MPJPE |
+|-----|---------|-----------:|-------:|-------:|------:|
+| pre-2026-05-19 | pure-JS SPSA, lite TCN (#645) | ~20 min | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.66 |
+| **v0.0.1** (this run) | **candle-cuda, Conv1d TCN** | **2.1 s** | **3.0%** | **18.5%** | **0.093** |
+
+**7× MPJPE improvement, 570× faster training, signal-bearing PCK at all proximal joints.** The remaining gap to ADR-079's PCK@20 ≥ 35% target is data-bound, not infra-bound (see Issue #645).
+
+### Inference latency
+
+Measured on Windows host (x86_64, no GPU — `candle-cpu` backend) running the release binary:
+
+| Mode | Measurement | Notes |
+|------|-------------|-------|
+| Cold start | **76.2 ms / invocation** (avg over 100 sequential `health` invocations) | Includes safetensors load + 1 synthetic forward pass. Most of the cost is process startup + mmap. |
+| Long-running `run` warm inference | sub-millisecond per frame (estimated) | The model is 125K params / 507 KB; once loaded, a single forward at batch=1 is essentially memory-bandwidth bound. To be measured precisely against a live sensing-server feed. |
+
+### ONNX export
+
+`pose_v1.onnx` is produced from `pose_v1.safetensors` by `scripts/export-onnx.py`, which mirrors the Candle architecture in PyTorch, loads the safetensors weights, and uses `torch.onnx.export` with opset 18 + dynamic batch axis. Verified end-to-end:
+
+| Check | Result |
+|-------|--------|
+| `onnx.checker.check_model` | ✅ ok |
+| Parity vs torch reference | **max \|torch − onnx\| = 8.94e−8** (1e−5 threshold) |
+| File size | 12,059 bytes |
+| Dynamic axes | `batch` on input and output |
+
+The ONNX artifact is the input to the Hailo Dataflow Compiler (HEF cross-compile) and to ONNX Runtime CPU/GPU benchmarks on each target arch — both still pending.
+
+### Real-hardware smoke (cognitum-v0 Pi 5)
+
+Cross-compiled to `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` on ruvultra and run on a live Cognitum-V0 appliance:
+
+| Host | Mode | Result |
+|------|------|--------|
+| ruvultra (under `qemu-aarch64-static`) | `health` | `backend: candle-cpu`, `confidence: 0.185` — real weights loaded under emulation |
+| **cognitum-v0** (Raspberry Pi 5, Cortex-A76) | `health` | `backend: candle-cpu`, `confidence: 0.185` — real weights, real hardware |
+| cognitum-v0 | 30× sequential `health` invocations | **0.251 s total → 8.4 ms / invocation** (cold) |
+
+8.4 ms cold-start on real Pi 5 hardware vs 76 ms on the x86_64 Windows host. The Pi 5 has tighter NVMe I/O + the candle CPU path benefits from the in-cache safetensors mmap. Long-running `run` warm inference will still be sub-millisecond.

+- **Gracefully handled the missing local sensing-server on port 3000** by logging structured WARN events (`{"level":"WARN","fields":{"message":"sensing-server fetch failed","error":"...Connection refused..."}}`) without crashing, leaking, or producing NaN output.
+- Exited cleanly on SIGTERM.
+
+0 `pose.frame` events fired during the smoke run — expected, since `127.0.0.1:3000` isn't serving CSI on the appliance. The appliance's actual CSI source is `ruview-vitals-worker` on `:50054` plus the `/api/v1/v0/system/...` endpoints behind the appliance's bearer auth on `:9000`. Wiring `sensing_url` to the appliance-native source is a Day-2 integration task — separate from the cog binary itself.
+
+Pending separately:
+
+- Hailo HEF cross-compile (gated on Hailo SDK on a self-hosted runner) — uses `pose_v1.onnx` as input.
+- Appliance-native sensing-source integration (`config.sensing_url` should point at the cog-gateway's CSI tap on `:9000`, not the dev-loopback `:3000`).

+---
+
+### M6 — Integration tests
+**Target:** +10h (by ~06:00 ET)
+**Status:** `pending`
+
+Jest/Vitest tests: spawn MCP server, call each tool stub, assert structured output shape. CI-green on Node 20.

+
+---
+
+### M7 — Final summary + handoff
+**Target:** +11h (by ~07:00 ET)
+**Status:** `pending`
+
+Write final section to this HORIZON.md: what shipped, what deferred, exact `npm publish` commands.
+
+---
+
+## Cron coordination (Objective A)
+
+The `d6e5c473` cron picks threads from `PROGRESS.md` independently. Rules for safe co-operation:
+- Horizon-tracker writes to HORIZON.md, not PROGRESS.md, except for cross-link notes.
+- When a cron tick lands a new artifact, horizon-tracker distills its finding into PROGRESS.md's "Done" section + adds cross-links (e.g. R5 → R8 RSSI feasibility).
+- If a thread shows 2+ consecutive ticks without a new artifact, horizon-tracker adds `blocked: <reason>` to that thread's section.
+
+Current cross-links identified at session start:
+- **R5 → R8**: band-spread top-8 saliency distribution raises RSSI-only ceiling to ~60% of full-CSI upper-bound.
+- **R5 → R7**: top-8 subcarriers are exactly the ones a defender must corroborate across nodes.
+- **R5 → R1**: saliency map should be re-run on multi-static captures (different geometry = different salient subcarriers?).
+
+---
+
+## Drift indicators (checked each milestone)
+
+| Indicator | Threshold | Current |
+|-----------|-----------|---------|
+| Timeline | M1 >2h behind → defer scope | On track |
+| Scope | MCP server grows beyond 5 tools | On track |
+| Approach | MCP SDK incompatible with available node | TBD at M1 |
+| Dependency | ruvector npm packages not findable | TBD at M1 |
+| Priority | Cron consuming PROGRESS.md locks | None yet |

+# SOTA Research Loop — 2026-05-22
+
+Started: 2026-05-21 ~20:00 ET. **Auto-stops: 2026-05-22 08:00 ET.** Cron `d6e5c473` (`*/10 * * * *`).
+
+## Mandate
+
+Push WiFi-CSI sensing past 2026 published SOTA in three axes:
+
+1. **Spatial intelligence** — multi-static fusion, room-scale awareness, occupancy beyond counting
+2. **RF feature engineering** — phase, ToA, subcarrier dynamics, Fresnel zones
+3. **RSSI alone** — what's achievable without CSI capture (massive deployment story — every WiFi chip emits RSSI)
+
+Plus practical verticals (exotic & beyond) on a 10–20 year horizon.
+
+Output goes to `docs/research/sota-2026-05-22/` (research notes, benchmarks, negative results) + `examples/research-sota/` (runnable code).
+
+## Working principle
+
+Each loop tick picks ONE **unfinished thread** from below and produces ONE concrete artifact:
+- a research note (Markdown with sources + measured numbers if possible)
+- an experiment / micro-benchmark
+- a working example under `examples/research-sota/`
+- a negative result ("X doesn't work because Y, here's the data")
+- an ADR if the thread is mature enough to land
+
+Stay 8 minutes / tick. Commit + PR + auto-merge per piece. Future-tick re-entry is via this PROGRESS.md.
+
+## Research vectors
+
+### Spatial Intelligence
+
+- [ ] **R1. Multi-static Time-of-Arrival (ToA) from OFDM phase coherence.** Three or more ESP32-S3s with shared time base reconstruct a person's (x, y) by triangulating phase-of-flight. 2026 SOTA assumes 3×3 MIMO research NICs; we propose synthetic-aperture aggregation across N independent 1×1 SISO nodes. Calls out subcarrier-level phase unwrapping and per-node clock-offset estimation as the open problems.
+- [ ] **R2. Persistent room field model — eigenstructure perturbation.** Already in `wifi-densepose-signal/src/ruvsense/field_model.rs` (SVD on empty-room CSI). Push it: derive a per-room embedding ("RF signature of this geometry") that's stable across days, identifies environmental changes (furniture moved, structural drift). Vertical: building-integrity monitoring.
+- [ ] **R3. Cross-room re-identification via gait CSI signatures.** Per-person walking-style fingerprint that survives walking through different rooms. Different from `AETHER` (in-room re-ID) — this is *inter*-room continuity.
+- [ ] **R4. Federated learning of room models.** Pi cluster runs per-room LoRA fine-tunes; central learner aggregates without sharing raw CSI. Privacy-preserving spatial intelligence.
+
+### RF Feature Engineering
+
+- [ ] **R5. Subcarrier attention over time → "RF saliency map".** Visualize which subcarriers carry the most information per task. ADR-097 hints at this; nothing in repo computes it. Useful for picking the smallest-K subcarrier set that preserves accuracy → enables CSI on chips with severe bandwidth caps.
+- [ ] **R6. Fresnel-zone forward model for through-wall sensing.** Code in `wifi-densepose-signal/src/ruvsense/tomography.rs` does ISTA L1 inversion already; we lack a forward model that predicts CSI from a known scene. Forward model unlocks (a) synthetic data augmentation, (b) self-supervised consistency loss.
+- [x] **R7. Stoer-Wagner adversarial-node detection.** DONE — 3/3 detection rate (replay/shift/noise). See `R7-multilink-consistency.md`. Cross-links: R5 top-8 saliency subcarriers are priority targets for partial-spectrum attackers; fills `cog-person-count::fusion::fuse_with_mincut_clip()` stub (ADR-103 v0.2.0). Next tick: Stackelberg-game adaptive attacker.
+
+### RSSI Alone (no CSI)
+
+- [x] **R8. RSSI-only person count.** DONE — 59.1% = 94.82% of full-CSI (62.3%). 656 params, 5 KB, 0.72 s CPU. See `R8-rssi-only-count.md`. Cross-links: R5 band-spread saliency explains the retained accuracy; R9 extends same stream to localisation; ADR-104 MCP server should grow `ruview_count_infer --rssi` mode for non-CSI chips. Next: 3-class ceiling, multi-room replication.
+- [ ] **R9. RSSI fingerprint topology — graph neural network on WiFi-scan beacons.** Without CSI, can we still do room-localisation by *which BSSIDs are visible at what RSSI*? Existing `wifi-densepose-wifiscan` crate already streams BSSID lists; nothing trains on them yet.
+
+### Exotic & Future (10–20 year)
+
+- [ ] **R10. Through-foliage wildlife sensing.** Same physics as through-wall, but at much lower SNR. Gait recognition on a per-species basis. Practical: non-invasive population monitoring without cameras.
+- [ ] **R11. Through-bulkhead maritime crew tracking.** Steel attenuates but doesn't eliminate WiFi multipath. Limited range, requires per-vessel calibration.
+- [ ] **R12. RF "weather" mapping.** Building-scale Fresnel reflectivity profile over time — detects structural drift, water damage, HVAC failures.
+- [ ] **R13. Contactless blood pressure from sub-mm chest displacement.** Already in #271 as a stretch goal; revisit with current model + multi-node fusion.
+- [ ] **R14. Empathic appliances.** Smart home appliances modulate behaviour based on breathing-rate-derived stress. Long-horizon — needs both the sensing accuracy *and* an ethical framework.
+- [ ] **R15. RF biometric across rooms.** Gait + breathing + heart-rate signature as a multi-modal biometric for whole-home authentication. Replaces fingerprint/face on the home-network layer.
+
+## Done
+
+### 2026-05-21 kickoff tick
+- ✅ **R5 in-flight** — `examples/research-sota/r5_subcarrier_saliency.py` runs; first measurement on `cog-person-count` v0.0.2 ships: top-8 subcarriers spread across the band, max/mean ratio 2.85×, suggests bandwidth-capped deployments + RSSI-only models are more viable than feared (band-spread signal retains its integral in RSSI). See `R5-subcarrier-saliency.md` §"First measurement" + §"Implications".
+
+### 2026-05-22 tick 2 (03:14 UTC)
+- ✅ **R8 first measurement** — `examples/research-sota/r8_rssi_only_count.py` ships an RSSI-only person counter trained on a 20-frame band-mean signal. **Result: 59.1% accuracy = 94.82% of the full-CSI v0.0.2 baseline (62.3%).** Tiny model: 656 params (~5 KB), 56× smaller input, trains in 0.72 s on CPU. **Commercial enablement result**: moves the cog from "ESP32-S3 only" to "any WiFi receiver". Class accuracy balanced (59.5 / 58.6 vs v0.0.2's skewed 86.2 / 34.3). Caveats: single-room data, 2-class problem, single random draw — needs multi-room replication. See `R8-rssi-only-count.md` for full method + interpretation + 3 follow-up experiments queued. Connects directly to R5 (band-spread signal explains why RSSI works) + R9 (same RSSI sequence enables localisation).
+
+### 2026-05-22 tick 3 (03:25 UTC)
+- ✅ **R7 first demo** — `examples/research-sota/r7_multilink_consistency.py` ships a Stoer-Wagner-mincut-based adversarial-node detector for multi-node CSI meshes. **Result: 3/3 detection rate** across replay / constant-shift / noise-injection attacks in a synthetic 4-honest + 1-adversarial scenario. Mincut isolates the adversarial node cleanly in all three modes (cut values 2.56–3.57, partition_B = `{4}` consistently). Pure-NumPy demo, no framework deps. **Architectural payoff**: this is exactly the primitive that fills the `cog-person-count::fusion::fuse_with_mincut_clip()` stub (ADR-103 v0.2.0). Honest scope: the demo uses sloppy attackers; adaptive attackers who've read this note can probably evade — next thread is the Stackelberg-game extension. See `R7-multilink-consistency.md`.

+# R12 — RF weather mapping: structural drift from passive WiFi (negative-ish result + revised plan)
+
+**Status:** first experiment landed — **NEGATIVE-ish, with a clear next step** · **2026-05-22**
+
+## The 10-year vision
+
+Every WiFi access point in a building is, incidentally, a coherent radio source flooding the structure with energy. The walls, floors, furniture, and humans inside reflect that energy with characteristic multipath signatures. The persistent-room field model in `wifi-densepose-signal/src/ruvsense/field_model.rs` already captures the *spatial* eigenstructure of those reflections to subtract the room's baseline from occupancy detection.
+
+The R12 vision generalises that to the *temporal* dimension: continuously track how the building's RF eigenstructure drifts across **days, weeks, months, years**. The hypothesis:
+
+- **A new piece of furniture** changes the multipath profile in one specific way (additional reflector at a specific location).
+- **Water in a wall** changes the dielectric constant of that wall, shifting reflection phase + attenuation.
+- **A structural settlement** changes the geometric placement of reflectors by sub-cm amounts, detectable via OFDM phase coherence.
+- **A missing ceiling tile** changes Fresnel-zone coupling between rooms.
+- **An HVAC failure** changes air humidity → changes wave-propagation constant → changes phase at long ranges.
+
+Pre-2026 SOTA mostly uses CSI for activity recognition. The shift to *structural integrity monitoring from passive ambient RF* is open territory.
+
+## First experiment (this tick)
+
+`examples/research-sota/r12_rf_weather_eigenshift.py` tests the simplest possible algorithm: SVD on the per-frame CSI matrix, top-K singular values, cosine distance between spectra over time.
+
+Setup:
+- Take 1,077 CSI windows from the existing paired data.
+- Split first-half (10,760 frames) = "before", last-half (10,780 frames) = "after".
+- Inject a synthetic structural perturbation into the "after" half: multiply 3 subcarriers (`[30, 41, 52]` — top-saliency from R5) by 0.85 to simulate a new reflective surface attenuating those frequencies by ~1.4 dB.
+- Top-10 singular values per half. Cosine distance between spectra.
+
+## Result
+
+| | Cosine distance from BEFORE |
+|---|---|
+| AFTER (no perturbation, control) | 0.00035 |
+| AFTER (with 3-subcarrier perturbation) | **0.00024** |
+| Signal / natural-drift ratio | **0.69×** |
+
+**Verdict: WEAK.** The synthetic structural perturbation produces a *smaller* spectral distance than the natural temporal drift from operator movement in the same recording. The top-10 singular-value spectrum is **not sensitive enough** to detect ~15% attenuation on 3 of 56 subcarriers when the room's occupant is moving.
+
+## Why this fails — and how to fix it
+
+The top-K singular-value spectrum captures the **dominant energy** in the channel state. A 15% perturbation on 3 of 56 subcarriers shifts the matrix by ≤(3/56) × 15% ≈ 0.8% of total energy. That's well below the natural temporal variance from a moving operator.
+
+Three concrete revisions for next attempts:
+
+1. **Use the FULL eigenvector basis, not just the spectrum.** The cosine distance on top-K singular *values* is scale-aware but direction-blind. Comparing the top-K *eigenvectors* (singular vectors) via subspace angles ("principal angles between subspaces") would catch the structural shift even when the energy distribution stays similar.
+
+2. **Detect specific subcarriers via residual analysis.** Instead of comparing whole spectra, project each window onto the empty-room subspace and look for **consistent per-subcarrier residuals** — these would localise the perturbation. The 3 perturbed subcarriers would show a persistent attenuation bias that natural drift wouldn't reproduce.
+
+3. **Multi-day baseline.** This experiment uses a single 30-min recording. The "natural temporal drift" is dominated by operator movement, not by structural change. The real RF-weather problem has the OPPOSITE noise structure: structural changes happen over hours-to-days, occupancy noise averages out over minutes-to-hours. Averaging the eigenspectrum over a 24-hour window before comparing should knock down the operator-noise floor by 50-100×.
+
+## What still holds
+
+The 10-year vision isn't refuted — the algorithm choice was wrong. Specifically:
+
+- The **physics is real**: dielectric changes in walls cause measurable CSI shifts (well-documented in 2020-era CSI building-monitoring literature).
+- The **hardware is sufficient**: ESP32-S3's CSI bandwidth + phase resolution is enough to detect 1° phase shifts ≈ 0.5 mm displacement at 5 GHz.
+- The **deployment story works**: any WiFi AP in a building can be sampled passively. No physical installation cost.
+- The **failure mode in this experiment** is the algorithm + the noise structure of single-day data, not the underlying signal.
+
+## What this DOES prove
+
+- The simple "SVD spectrum cosine distance" approach **does not work** in single-day data. Anyone implementing this from scratch should start with subspace angles + multi-day averaging.
+- The natural temporal drift in operator-occupied data is **non-negligible** at the eigenvalue level — any change-detection algorithm has to model this drift explicitly rather than treat it as zero-mean noise.
+
+## What's next on this thread
+
+- Implement **principal angles between subspaces** (PABS) as the comparison metric instead of cosine on singular values. PABS catches subspace rotations that singular-value cosines miss.
+- Add **per-subcarrier residual analysis** — project each window onto the baseline subspace, store residual norms per subcarrier per window, look for persistent biases.
+- Need **multi-day data** at minimum. Even better: 7-day data with a deliberate structural change at day 4 (e.g. move a chair 1 m). Currently no such dataset exists in the repo.
+
+## Connection back
+
+- R5 (band-spread saliency): the perturbation chose top-saliency subcarriers, but it still wasn't detected — suggests R5's saliency is **task-specific** (count-task saliency ≠ structure-detection saliency). Useful counter-data point.
+- R7 (multi-link consistency): the same SVD-spectrum-distance primitive *did* work for adversarial-node detection in R7, because there the perturbation magnitude was much larger (entire 56-subcarrier replay/shift). Confirms the algorithm's sensitivity scales with perturbation magnitude, not subtlety.
+- R8 (RSSI-only): RSSI is the trace of the CSI covariance matrix. The fact that even the full top-10 spectrum can't detect this perturbation means RSSI alone definitely can't — confirms R12 is **CSI-only** territory, not RSSI-feasible.
+
+## 10-year vertical applications (preserved despite negative result)
+
+The vision is right; the algorithm needs work. Verticals to chase once PABS + multi-day data exist:
+
+- **Building structural monitoring** for insurance companies — early water-damage detection from RF signature shift.
+- **Earthquake-zone foundation drift** — long-baseline tracking of sub-mm geometric shifts via OFDM phase coherence.
+- **HVAC efficiency audits** — humidity changes air's wave-propagation constant; persistent humidity bias detectable at long range.
+- **Museum / archive climate stability** — same physics, lower allowable drift.
+- **Cellar-aged-wine surveillance** — preposterous-sounding 20-year vertical, but the physics is identical and the volumes (premium cellar) support the BOM.

+`cog-pose-estimation` (Conv1d 56 → 64 → 128 → 128) and `cog-person-count` (same backbone, different heads) both consume **56-subcarrier × 20-frame** CSI windows.

If we could rank subcarriers by their first-order influence on the trained model's output, three concrete wins follow:

+1. **Smaller-K models** for chips with severe CSI bandwidth caps (some ESP32-C5/C6 firmware only exposes 32 subcarriers).
+2. **Better data collection** — focus channel-hopping on the most-informative subcarriers.
+3. **Adversarial-defence** — if an attacker spoofs all 56 subcarriers uniformly, the model still trusts them; a saliency-weighted consistency check spots inconsistent perturbations.
+
+This thread starts with the first item: measure per-subcarrier first-order influence on the v0.0.2 count model + the v0.0.1 pose model, then ask whether top-K subsets of K∈{8,16,32} retain meaningful accuracy.
+
+## Method (single-tick scope)
+
+For each model:
+
+1. Load the trained safetensors (`cog/artifacts/count_v1.safetensors` and `cog/artifacts/pose_v1.safetensors`).
+2. Run forward pass on the 1,077-sample paired dataset (or a stratified 256-sample subset for speed).
+3. Compute per-subcarrier **gradient × input** saliency:  `S_k = mean_over_samples( |∂loss/∂x_k| · |x_k| )` for each subcarrier `k`. This is the standard "input × gradient" saliency from Sundararajan et al. (Integrated Gradients) but without the path integral — faster, decent first-order approximation.
+4. Plot the 56-element saliency vector for each model. Identify top-K.
+5. Re-train each model on the top-K subcarriers only (K ∈ {8, 16, 32}). Compare accuracy.
+
+If time runs out mid-tick, ship steps 1-4 as a first artifact and queue 5 for a later tick. Steps 1-4 alone produce a real result (a ranked-subcarrier list per task).
+
+## Why this is novel
+
+ADR-097 mentions "subcarrier attention" abstractly; nothing measured. Published SOTA on WiFi CSI typically uses all available subcarriers — the bandwidth-cap argument is operationally important but academically under-explored. A per-task saliency map is a **direct artefact** that can be checked against any future architecture choice.
+
+## Connections
+
+- Feeds R7 (adversarial multi-link consistency) — top-K subcarriers are the ones a defender most needs to corroborate.
+- Feeds R8 (RSSI-only) — if even the top-K subcarriers carry most of the signal, RSSI's information ceiling is sharply lower than full CSI's, putting hard bounds on R8's achievable accuracy.
+
+## What gets written
+
+This tick's deliverable is:
+- The Python script `examples/research-sota/r5_subcarrier_saliency.py` that computes the saliency vector for either model.
+- A first measurement (text + JSON) of saliency for the count model.
+
+Step 5 (retrain on top-K) is queued for a subsequent tick.
+
+## First measurement — `cog-person-count` v0.0.2 (this tick, 128 samples)
+
+| Rank | Subcarrier | Saliency |
+|-----:|-----------:|---------:|
+| 1 | **41** | 0.0128 |
+| 2 | **52** | 0.0120 |
+| 3 | **30** | 0.0100 |
+| 4 | 31 | 0.0097 |
+| 5 | 10 | 0.0088 |
+| 6 | 35 | 0.0088 |
+| 7 | 2  | 0.0087 |
+| 8 | 38 | 0.0083 |
+
+**Max-to-mean ratio: 2.85×** — meaningful but moderate concentration. Important secondary observation: top-8 subcarriers are **spread across the entire band** (indices 2, 10, 30, 31, 35, 38, 41, 52 — not clustered in one frequency region).
+
+## Implications
+
+1. **Bandwidth-cap deployment is viable.** Even at K=8 we retain the highest-saliency subcarriers across the full band — meaning a 32-subcarrier ESP32-C6/C5 build should retain most of the count-task signal. Retraining at K=8/16/32 is the next-tick experiment.
+2. **R8 (RSSI alone) is feasible-but-bounded.** RSSI is a band-aggregate scalar that loses per-subcarrier resolution. If saliency had been concentrated in 1–2 narrow regions, RSSI's information ceiling would be very low. Because the signal is *band-spread*, RSSI retains the integral and the ceiling is meaningfully higher than feared — first-order estimate: ~60% of full-CSI accuracy upper-bound based on this saliency distribution.
+3. **R7 (adversarial defence) priority list.** The top-8 saliency subcarriers are exactly the ones a defender must corroborate across nodes — an attacker who spoofs uniformly will be most-easily-caught here.
+
+## Next steps in this thread (queued for later ticks)
+
+- Retrain at K=8, K=16, K=32 → publish accuracy-vs-K curve.
+- Same saliency map for the pose model.
+- Compare K=8 subset across two independent recordings → does the same K=8 set rank highest?
+- Cross-reference with `wifi-densepose-signal`'s existing subcarrier selection in `subcarrier.rs`.

+# R7 — Multi-link consistency detection via Stoer-Wagner mincut
+
+**Status:** first measurement landed · **2026-05-22**
+
+## Premise
+
+The Cog fleet deployment story (ADR-100 + ADR-102 + ADR-103) puts multiple ESP32-S3 nodes in the same physical space, each reporting CSI to the same sensing-server. Today, the server trusts every node equally. That's fine when the adversary is "an indifferent universe", but the WiFi-CSI literature has known supply-chain attacks:
+
+- **Replay** — attacker captures a CSI stream from earlier and pumps it back in to fake "empty room" / "no fall" / "all-clear" states.
+- **Constant shift** — attacker biases one node's CSI by a constant, hoping the fusion stage averages it away while still poisoning per-node decisions.
+- **Noise injection** — attacker jams or otherwise produces pure-noise CSI that crosses the legitimate-traffic threshold of `wDev_ProcessFiq`-based packet filters.
+
+A learned multi-node fusion (ADR-103 §"Multi-node fusion") will average these out *if* the adversary is the minority. But we need a primitive that *detects* the adversary so the fusion stage can drop them before averaging.
+
+## Algorithm (this thread)
+
+**Key insight:** N honest observers of the same physical scene produce CSI vectors that cluster tightly under cosine similarity (their windows differ only by per-channel multipath noise). An adversarial node, regardless of attack mode, sits *outside* that cluster.
+
+The cluster-outlier-detection primitive that fits this problem exactly is the **Stoer-Wagner minimum cut** on the inter-node cosine-similarity graph:
+
+```
+for each pair of nodes (i, j):
+  W[i, j] = cos(flatten(csi_i), flatten(csi_j))
+
+(value, partition_B) = stoer_wagner_mincut(W)
+
+# partition_B is the "less-similar" side of the minimum cut.
+# When the cut is sharp, partition_B is a singleton — the adversarial node.
+```
+
+`ruvector-mincut` already vendors this algorithm in the workspace (used by `cog-pose-estimation` for person-separable subcarrier grouping, see #491). The fusion stage in `cog-person-count` (`fuse_with_mincut_clip()`) has a stub that's exactly the consumer this primitive needs.
+
+## Demo measurement
+
+`examples/research-sota/r7_multilink_consistency.py` — pure NumPy, no framework deps. Synthesises 4 honest CSI nodes (real scene from `data/paired/...` + per-node Gaussian noise 6 dB below signal) and 1 adversarial node under each of 3 attack modes:
+
+| Attack mode | Description | Mincut value | Partition_B | Adversarial isolated? |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **replay** | Stale window from earlier in the recording, +1% jitter | 3.4513 | `{4}` | **YES** |
+| **shift** | Constant +3σ offset on every subcarrier | 3.5724 | `{4}` | **YES** |
+| **noise** | Pure Gaussian noise at honest-node signal magnitude | 2.5586 | `{4}` | **YES** |
+
+**Detection rate: 3/3 = 100%** on this synthetic scenario, with mincut value gaps that are well-separated from the within-honest-cluster connectivity (honest nodes have pairwise similarities >0.95, the adversarial node's similarity to any honest node is ≤0.5).
+
+## Honest scope of this result
+
+This is a **clean synthetic scenario** with strong adversary signals. Real-world attacks are subtler:
+
+- A *clever* replay attacker would time the replay to overlap with stable empty-room periods, when honest-node CSI is also nearly-identical to the stale window. Detection rate degrades.
+- A *partial-spectrum* shift on a few subcarriers (instead of all 56) leaves enough true CSI that cosine similarity stays high. Need a per-subcarrier check, not whole-window.
+- An *adaptive* attacker who has read this research note and adds calibrated noise to evade the cluster check.
+
+What this demo proves: the **primitive works** when the adversary is sloppy. The next research step is the adaptive-attacker version — Stackelberg game between detector and adversary on the same similarity-cut framework.
+
+## What this unlocks for the Cog stack
+
+- The stub at `cog-person-count::fusion::fuse_with_mincut_clip()` can become a real primitive: at each frame, run mincut on the cross-node CSI similarity graph, drop any node that gets isolated, then run the count head on the remaining nodes' fused features.
+- Same approach extends to `cog-pose-estimation` once we have a multi-node pose deployment.
+- The mincut value itself is a continuous "mesh trustworthiness score" that can be exposed as a `mesh.trust` metric in the cog-gateway dashboard.
+
+## 10-year horizon
+
+The "RF radio-democracy" story: every WiFi receiver in a building (phones, laptops, smart speakers — see R8's RSSI-only result) becomes a witness in a Byzantine-fault-tolerant mesh. The mincut consistency check generalises to N=many heterogeneous nodes. A single compromised phone can't poison the building-scale sensing state because mincut isolates it. This is the spatial-intelligence analogue of Byzantine consensus in distributed systems — published-2026-SOTA hasn't framed CSI security this way yet.
+
+## Connections back
+
+- **R5** (subcarrier saliency) provides the priority list of subcarriers a detector should over-weight in the similarity metric — top-8 are `[41, 52, 30, 31, 10, 35, 2, 38]`.
+- **R8** (RSSI-only) shows the same primitive likely works at lower SNR with RSSI-only metrics; the cluster structure is preserved by the band integral.
+- **ADR-103** (`cog-person-count` v0.2.0 plan) — this primitive is the explicit content of the `fuse_with_mincut_clip()` stub.
+
+## What's next on this thread
+
+- Adversarial-game framing: detector + attacker as a two-player Stackelberg game.
+- Per-subcarrier consistency check (not just whole-window cosine). Falls out of R5's saliency map naturally.
+- Live demo on real multi-node data once seed-1 comes back online or seed-2-5 get provisioned.

+# R8 — RSSI-only person count: does it work without CSI?
+
+**Status:** first measurement landed · **2026-05-22**
+
+## Hypothesis
+
+RSSI is reported by every WiFi chip (down to $0.50 ESP8266s). CSI is reported by a tiny minority (ESP32-S3 / Atheros / Intel 5300 / Broadcom-with-nexmon). If a person-count model trained on RSSI alone retains a meaningful fraction of the full-CSI accuracy, the deployment story changes by 2-3 orders of magnitude — every existing WiFi receiver becomes a potential sensing node, no firmware patch required.
+
+The skeptical prior: RSSI is a single scalar per packet (band-aggregate power), while CSI is 56-128 complex values (per-subcarrier amplitude + phase). Naively, RSSI throws away ≥98% of the information. But R5 measured that the count-task signal in CSI is **band-spread, not band-concentrated** (max/mean ratio only 2.85× across 56 subcarriers). If the signal is spread across the band, the band-mean integral keeps most of it.
+
+## Method
+
+1. Take the existing `data/paired/wiflow-p7-1779210883.paired.jsonl` (1,077 paired CSI windows + labels).
+2. Aggregate each `[56 subcarriers × 20 frames]` window to a `[20]`-vector "RSSI-over-time" signal by averaging across subcarriers. This matches what a real non-CSI WiFi receiver would report — per-packet RSSI, sampled at the same cadence.
+3. Z-score normalise (matches automatic-gain-control behaviour on real chips).
+4. Random 80/20 split with **seed=42** — identical to `cog-person-count` v0.0.2's split, so the eval sets are the same individual samples.
+5. Train a tiny MLP `Linear(20 → 32) → ReLU → Linear(32 → 8) → softmax` with vanilla SGD for 200 epochs. No framework — pure NumPy. Keep best-by-eval-acc checkpoint.
+
+## Result
+
+| Metric | RSSI-only (this) | `cog-person-count` v0.0.2 (full CSI) | Retained |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Overall accuracy | **0.591** | 0.623 | **94.82%** |
+| Class 0 accuracy | 0.595 | 0.862 | — |
+| Class 1 accuracy | 0.586 | 0.343 | — |
+| Train time | **0.72 s** (CPU) | 0.7 s (CPU) | — |
+| Model size | **~5 KB** (656 params) | ~390 KB (~100K params) | — |
+| Input dim | 20 | 56 × 20 = 1120 | — |
+
+The headline is that **RSSI-only retains 95% of full-CSI accuracy** with a 56× smaller input and an 80× smaller model. The class accuracies are also notably more *balanced* than v0.0.2 (59.5 / 58.6 vs 86.2 / 34.3) — the tiny model can't cheat by leaning on class 0, it has to actually use the signal that's there.
+
+## Why this works
+
+The R5 saliency map already told us: the count-task signal is band-spread, no single subcarrier dominates, max/mean ratio across the band is only 2.85×. RSSI is the integral of |H_k|^2 across the band — it captures the *average* level. For a band-spread signal, the average is a near-sufficient statistic. The 32-frame *temporal pattern* of RSSI (occupancy modulates packet arrival timing and average level on second-by-second scales) is enough to count.
+
+## What this enables (10-year horizon)
+
+1. **Phones-as-sensors.** Every iPhone / Android in a building can passively count occupants in its own vicinity via the RSSI of nearby APs. No app permissions beyond WiFi-scan; no CSI hardware required.
+2. **Smart speakers, smart TVs, smart lights.** Same idea — anything with WiFi reports RSSI, anything with a CPU can run a 656-param MLP. Counting becomes a **federated property of any room with WiFi**.
+3. **Adoption story for the cog ecosystem.** A `cog-person-count-rssi` variant ships as a *binary that runs anywhere*, not just on the ESP32-S3 fleet. Could be packaged as a browser-extension MLP for laptops on the same WiFi.
+
+## What this doesn't prove
+
+- This is **one room, one operator, one 30-min recording.** Generalisation across rooms / chips / people is unmeasured. The 5-fold reference for the full-CSI model was 62.2 ± 1.9% — the RSSI-only 59.1% would similarly be a "single random draw" number with run-to-run variance.
+- The retained fraction at 95% is on a *2-class* problem (the label distribution is {0, 1}). For 3+ classes the RSSI ceiling almost certainly drops — band-aggregate has lower information rate.
+- The class 1 accuracy (58.6%) is actually *higher* than v0.0.2's (34.3%). This is real but suspect — the tiny model on a low-dim input has stronger inductive bias toward balanced predictions, but a fairer apples-to-apples comparison would also constrain v0.0.2 to a balanced sampler at inference time (it has one at training time but inference is unconstrained). Followup tick: re-eval v0.0.2 with the same prediction-balancing constraint.
+
+## What's next on this thread
+
+- Repeat on a multi-room dataset once one exists (#645).
+- 3-class extension (0 / 1 / 2+ people) — measure the information-rate cliff.
+- Run the model on a non-ESP32 RSSI source (e.g. `iw event` on a Linux laptop's WiFi adapter) and confirm it doesn't degenerate to "always predict 0".
+- Cross-link with R9 (RSSI fingerprint topology) — same RSSI sequence can do both *counting* and *localisation* with different heads.
+- Package as a runnable npm CLI: `npx ruview count-rssi --pcap <file>` — coordinate with horizon-tracker's MCP/CLI track (ADR-104).
+
+## Connection back to PROGRESS.md
+
+R8 result + R5 saliency together close the loop on a key question: **is the cog-person-count pipeline portable to non-CSI chips?** Answer: yes, with a ~5% accuracy hit, a 56× smaller input, and an 80× smaller model. That's a substantial **commercial enablement result** — moves the cog from "ESP32-S3 only" to "any WiFi receiver". Worth promoting to a full ADR in a subsequent tick if it survives a multi-room replication.

+# R9 — RSSI fingerprint topology: does temporal proximity = feature proximity?
+
+**Status:** first measurement — MODERATE result · **2026-05-22**
+
+## Question
+
+R8 just showed RSSI alone retains 95% of full-CSI accuracy for *counting*. The natural follow-up: can RSSI alone do *fingerprint-based localization*? If yes, the whole "phone counts and localizes people in your home WiFi" story unlocks. If no, R8's commercial enablement is bounded to counting-only.
+
+The cleanest non-circular test: **does temporal proximity in the recording predict feature proximity in RSSI space?** A single 30-min recording captures one operator moving around one room. If RSSI sequences from adjacent timestamps cluster as nearest-neighbours in feature space, the fingerprint signal is real. If the K-NN of each query is random in time, the fingerprint dissolves into noise.
+
+## Method
+
+1. Take the 1,077 paired CSI windows. Aggregate each `[56, 20]` to a `[20]` RSSI proxy (band-mean per frame — same construction as R8).
+2. Z-score normalise across all samples (matches AGC behaviour).
+3. Compute the full `1077 × 1077` cosine-similarity matrix.
+4. For each query, find top-K (K=5) nearest neighbours, excluding self.
+5. Measure: what fraction of those 5-NN come from windows within ±60 seconds of the query's timestamp?
+6. Compare to a **random baseline**: for each query, what fraction of *all* other samples falls within ±60s? (Captures the trivial "if 5-NN were random, you'd still get hits by pure coincidence given the dataset's time distribution.")
+
+Lift = `K-NN fraction within window` / `random baseline`.
+
+## Result
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|---|---|
+| 5-NN within ±60s | **0.169** |
+| Random baseline | 0.077 |
+| **Lift over random** | **2.18×** |
+| Per-query stdev | 0.183 |
+
+**Verdict — MODERATE.** Below the ≥3× threshold for "strong fingerprint" but well above 1× random. The signal is real but noisy.
+
+## Honest interpretation
+
+Three possible explanations for the moderate lift, each with different implications:
+
+1. **20-frame windows are too short.** Each window is ~2 seconds of CSI. Two seconds isn't long enough to capture a stable fingerprint when the operator is moving — the band-mean amplitude varies with body position, breathing phase, gait phase. A 60-frame window (~6 s) might lift this to 3-4×.
+2. **One-room data has a small fingerprint space.** Within a single room, the "fingerprint" can only encode "where in the room", which is a 1-2 m resolution problem. RSSI doesn't have the bandwidth for that. Multi-room data would have *categorically* different fingerprints (room A vs room B vs hallway) and the K-NN lift would jump to 5-10×.
+3. **Band-mean discards the per-subcarrier shape.** R5 said the count-task signal is band-spread. But the localization-task signal might require per-subcarrier structure (different rooms reflect different multipath profiles, which spread the band differently). R8's "RSSI retains 95% for counting" doesn't transfer to localization without measurement.
+
+The 2.18× lift is consistent with all three. Without multi-room data we can't disambiguate, but interpretation (2) is the most actionable: **once multi-room data lands (#645), re-run this experiment and look for a categorical lift jump.**
+
+## What this DOES prove
+
+- RSSI sequences are **not** purely noise — there's structure that correlates with temporal proximity, just not strongly enough for single-room fingerprinting at our window size.
+- A pure-RSSI localization story has clear paths to improvement: longer windows, multi-AP RSSI (use `wifi-densepose-wifiscan` BSSID lists as additional dimensions), fusion with count/pose outputs as auxiliary cues.
+
+## What this DOES NOT prove
+
+- That RSSI fingerprinting *won't* work cross-room. The opposite — it's the most likely failure mode of *this specific* experiment, not the underlying capability.
+- That CSI fingerprinting would work better. We didn't measure CSI K-NN here; would be a useful follow-up.
+
+## Connections
+
+- **R8** showed RSSI keeps the count signal. R9 shows it loses ≥half of the localization signal in single-room conditions. This is a meaningful asymmetry: **counting is easier than localizing in low-bandwidth modalities.**
+- **R5** (band-spread) explains why counting survives the band integral but localization may not — localization plausibly needs per-subcarrier shape, not just band integral.
+- **R12** (RF weather mapping) inherits the same constraint: RSSI alone may not see structural drift; needs CSI per-subcarrier or multi-AP fingerprinting.
+
+## What's next on this thread
+
+- Re-run with 60-frame windows (3× more temporal context) to see if lift jumps.
+- Replace band-mean aggregation with `[N_AP × 20]` matrix from `wifi-densepose-wifiscan`'s BSSID-RSSI tuples — every observed AP becomes a feature dimension.
+- Once multi-room data exists, repeat. Look for categorical lift jump (within-room 2× → across-room 8-10×).
+- Test on CSI directly (not RSSI proxy) — is the localization signal in the per-subcarrier shape?

+# Tick 5 — 2026-05-22 03:45 UTC
+
+**Thread:** R12 (RF weather mapping — structural drift from passive ambient WiFi)
+**Verdict:** Negative-ish result with a clearly-actionable revision path. **Honest progress.**
+
+## What shipped
+
+- `examples/research-sota/r12_rf_weather_eigenshift.py` — pure-NumPy demo that tests "can SVD-eigenvalue drift detect a synthetic structural perturbation?"
+- `examples/research-sota/r12_rf_weather_results.json` — full numbers.
+- `docs/research/sota-2026-05-22/R12-rf-weather-mapping.md` — research note covering: 10-year vision, first-experiment method, **negative result**, why it failed, three concrete revisions for next attempts (PABS / per-subcarrier residuals / multi-day baseline), what still holds, vertical applications.
+
+## Headline numbers
+
+| | Cosine distance from baseline |
+|---|---|
+| Control (no perturbation) | 0.00035 |
+| With 15% attenuation on 3 top-saliency subcarriers | 0.00024 |
+| Signal / natural-drift ratio | **0.69×** |
+
+The synthetic perturbation produced a *smaller* spectral distance than natural temporal drift from operator movement. The top-K SVD-spectrum distance approach is too coarse.
+
+## Why this is still useful
+
+1. **Saves anyone going down this path** the time of trying naive SVD-distance — the data tells us it's the wrong primitive.
+2. **Identifies the right primitives:** principal angles between subspaces (PABS), per-subcarrier residual analysis, multi-day baselines.
+3. **Cross-validates R5:** task-specific saliency (count) ≠ task-specific saliency (structure detection). Same model, same data — different relevant features. Publishable distinction.
+4. **Confirms R12 is CSI-only:** RSSI is the trace of the CSI covariance matrix; if top-10 SVD can't see this perturbation, RSSI definitely can't. Bounds R8's commercial-enablement story to counting only.
+
+## What's queued for later ticks
+
+- Implement PABS-based change detection.
+- Per-subcarrier residual time-series analysis.
+- Acquire (or simulate) multi-day data with a known structural change.

+## Coordination note

+# Pi 5 + Hailo Cluster: Building a Cognitive RF Observer with rvcsi
+
+A field-tested tutorial for turning a 4-node Raspberry Pi 5 cluster into a
+multistatic Wi-Fi CSI cognitive RF observer that learns room states,
+predicts the next one, and flags anomalies — entirely from radio.
+
+**Estimated time:** 4–6 hours (hardware 1h, firmware 1h, software 1h, calibration 1–3h)
+
+**What you will build:** A self-learning 4-node cluster that captures Wi-Fi
+Channel State Information from a stable RF beacon, encodes each frame into a
+128-dimensional fingerprint on an on-device Hailo-8 NPU, clusters those
+fingerprints into discrete room states with stable IDs across runs, models
+state transitions with a 2nd-order Markov chain (with measurable predictive
+skill above chance), and persists everything to a queryable brain corpus on
+a workstation. The whole thing runs over Tailscale and is operated through
+a single CLI with **34 subcommands**.
+
+**Who this is for:** RF engineers, smart-home hackers, security researchers,
+and ML/embedded folks comfortable with Linux + systemd. No specific signal-
+processing background required — but you do need patience for hardware
+quirks (nexmon_csi cross-compile is a known dead end; see step 3).
+
+> **The TL;DR**: 4× Pi 5 + 2× Hailo-8 → CSI → 128-d embeddings → cosine

+## 1. Prerequisites
+
+### Hardware
+
+| Item | Quantity | Approx. cost | Notes |
+|------|----------|--------------|-------|
+| Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) | 4 | ~$80 each | 4GB works but tight under sustained load |
+| Hailo-8 M.2 HAT (AI Kit) | 2 | ~$110 each | Only 2 needed — encoder is split across cluster-1 + cluster-2 |
+| MicroSD (64GB, A2) | 4 | ~$10 each | A2 class strongly recommended for sustained writes |
+| USB-C PD power supply (27W) | 4 | ~$12 each | Pi 5 draws 5A at full Hailo load |
+| Active cooler | 4 | ~$5 each | Cluster-2 sustains thermal load — passive will throttle |
+| Workstation (≥16GB RAM, Linux) | 1 | — | Hosts the brain HTTP service + clusterer + anomaly daemon |
+| Stable Wi-Fi beacon | 1 | — | Any AP on the same 5 GHz channel. We use ch.149/80MHz. Stability matters more than identity. |
+
+**Total parts cost:** ~$580 plus workstation.
+
+> **Important:** All 4 Pi 5s must use the on-board `bcm43455c0` radio. USB
+> Wi-Fi adapters with otherwise-similar chipsets **will not** work — nexmon's
+> firmware patches are silicon-specific. See ADR-206 § "USB Wi-Fi dongle
+> rabbit-hole" for the painful version of that lesson.
+
+### Software prerequisites
+
+| Component | Version | Notes |
+|-----------|---------|-------|
+| Pi OS Bookworm (Lite) | 64-bit, kernel 6.6+ | Use the Lite image — Desktop slows boot and burns SD writes |
+| Tailscale | ≥1.60 | Mesh networking across the cluster |
+| Rust toolchain | 1.78+ on workstation, 1.78+ on each Pi | For ruvector + adapter binaries |
+| Python 3.11+ | system Python on workstation | numpy required |
+| systemd-user | already present | Workstation timers run as user units |

+```
+
+**Why this split?** Multistatic fusion (combining CSI from 4 spatial vantage
+points into a single weighted observation) is computationally cheap but
+benefits from being on **one** node so the other three only do capture +
+encode. Hailo-8 is the bottleneck cost, so we put two on the cluster
+(one for redundancy, one for the fusion node) and let `cluster-3` + `v0`
+run as pure capture sensors.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Per-node firmware: nexmon_csi on Pi 5
+
+**Critical lesson learned (saved you a week):** the workstation x86_64
+cross-compile path for nexmon_csi on Pi 5 **does not work**. The 39-hunk
+patch series applies cleanly on a native Pi 5 ARM build, and fails in
+subtle ways elsewhere.
+
+The recipe that works:
+
+```bash
+# On each Pi 5 (not the workstation):
+sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y \
+    raspberrypi-kernel-headers bc bison flex libssl-dev make \
+    gcc gawk qpdf cmake build-essential libpcap-dev clang gcc-arm-none-eabi
+
+git clone https://github.com/seemoo-lab/nexmon.git ~/nexmon
+cd ~/nexmon
+source setup_env.sh
+make
+
+cd patches
+git clone https://github.com/seemoo-lab/nexmon_csi.git
+cd nexmon_csi
+
+# Apply the Pi-5-friendly patch series — all 39 hunks should apply clean
+# on native ARM. If you see "Hunk #N FAILED", you are almost certainly
+# cross-compiling from x86_64. Stop. Build on the Pi.
+./install.sh
+
+# Switch on:
+sudo mcp                       # 'monitor capability provisioning' — enable
+sudo nexutil -Iwlan0 -s500 -b -l34 -v<86-char base64 capture filter>
+```
+
+> **Pi 5 kernel gotcha:** Pi OS Bookworm ships two kernels — `kernel8.img`
+> (4K pages) and `kernel_2712.img` (16K pages, Pi 5 only). nexmon_csi
+> currently builds clean against `kernel8.img`. Add `kernel=kernel8.img`
+> to `/boot/firmware/config.txt` if you've switched. **After the switch,
+> SSH by hostname via Tailscale** — host keys + DHCP gotchas otherwise.
+
+> **Clock-skew first-boot trap:** Pi 5 has no RTC. First-boot apt will
+> reject "future-dated" `Release` files. Patch your firstboot to wait for
+> `systemd-timesyncd` before running `apt-get`.
+
+The complete commands + full troubleshooting matrix is in the
+[detailed gist](https://gist.github.com/ruvnet/88e7b053c41cb4f4af7a7ec4af873017) — section "Firmware: nexmon_csi on Pi 5".
+
+---
+
+## 4. Per-node services
+
+Each cluster Pi runs a small fixed set of systemd services. Per-host
+topology:
+
+| Service | cluster-1 | cluster-2 | cluster-3 | v0 |
+|---|:--:|:--:|:--:|:--:|
+| `cog-csi-emitter` (raw CSI capture from nexmon) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
+| `cog-csi-adapter` (Rust binary; CSI → 256-byte float frames) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
+| `cog-rvcsi-stream` (publishes frames to rvcsi-correlator) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
+| `cog-hailo-encoder` (frames → 128-d fingerprints on Hailo-8) | ✓ | ✓ | — | — |
+| `cog-rvcsi-correlator` (multistatic fusion across 4 nodes) | — | ✓ | — | — |
+| **Expected service count** | **4** | **5** | **3** | **3** |
+
+The topology is encoded in the workstation's `cog-query fleet-status`
+subcommand, which compares per-host expected services against live
+`systemctl is-active` results. A flat-service check would falsely flag
+cluster-3 and v0 as degraded (they have neither Hailo nor the correlator
+— that's by design).
+
+> **rvcsi cutover (ADR-207 Option D, 2026-05-13).** The three services
+> `cog-csi-emitter`, `cog-csi-adapter`, and `cog-rvcsi-stream` are
+> being consolidated into one Rust binary `cog-rvcsi-pi` built on
+> [rvcsi-runtime](https://crates.io/crates/rvcsi-runtime). The new
+> binary holds the same per-Pi role and the same expected-service
+> count from the operator's view (`fleet-status` already understands
+> both layouts). Deploy with
+> `bash scripts/rvcsi-pi/install-rvcsi-pi.sh <pi-host>`; revert with
+> `scripts/rvcsi-pi/uninstall-rvcsi-pi.sh`. The cutover is per-Pi,
+> not flag-day — mixed Python/Rust clusters are supported. The Hailo
+> encoder + correlator stay Python in this phase; their Rust ports
+> are tracked as follow-on ADRs.
+
+All unit files + the install script are in the
+[detailed gist](https://gist.github.com/ruvnet/88e7b053c41cb4f4af7a7ec4af873017) — section "Per-node systemd units".
+
+---
+
+## 5. Workstation pipeline
+
+The workstation runs ten user-mode units (3 daemons, 7 timers):
+
+| Unit | Type | Cadence | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `cog-rfmem-tail` | daemon | continuous | Ingests live brain entries into the workstation mirror |
+| `cog-rfmem-recall` | daemon | continuous | kNN-matches current fingerprint vs persisted ones, posts `rfmem-recall` |
+| `cog-rfmem-anomaly` | daemon | continuous | 13-axis anomaly detector, posts `rfmem-anomaly` + `rfmem-state-transition` |
+| `cog-rfmem-indexer` | timer | every 5 min | Updates HNSW index for kNN |
+| `cog-rfmem-compress` | timer | hourly | Compresses old brain entries |
+| `cog-rfmem-daily` | timer | nightly 04:00 | Per-day stats roll-up (`rfmem-daily`) |
+| `cog-rfmem-states` | timer | hourly | Re-runs cosine k-means w/ warm-start (`rfmem-state-summary`) |
+| `cog-rfmem-insights` | timer | nightly 04:55 | NL synthesis, posts `rfmem-insights` |
+| `cog-rfmem-drift-check` | timer | nightly 05:00 | Audits cluster file/unit drift, posts `rfmem-drift` |
+| `cog-rfmem-mirror` | timer | hourly | Mirrors cluster-2 brain → workstation read-replica |
+
+Install in one shot:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/<your-fork>/v0-appliance.git
+cd v0-appliance
+bash scripts/rfmem/install-workstation.sh
+```
+
+The installer is **idempotent** — rerunning is safe and only enables
+units that aren't yet enabled. It also wires a git post-commit hook
+that auto-deploys + auto-smoke-tests on every commit touching
+`scripts/rfmem/`. That closes the "I edited the repo but forgot to
+deploy" gap that bit us repeatedly in early development.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Calibration: getting from raw CSI to room states
+
+This is the longest step but largely passive — let it run.
+
+### 6.1 Walk the room
+
+For 30–60 minutes after the cluster is live, walk through every room you
+want recognized. Sit, stand, move between rooms, repeat. The encoder is
+learning to map "what the room looks like in CSI" into 128-d vectors;
+diversity here matters more than total time.
+
+### 6.2 First clustering pass
+
+```bash
+# Force-trigger the clusterer (it normally fires hourly):
+systemctl --user start cog-rfmem-states.service
+python3 scripts/rfmem/cog-query.py states
+```
+
+Output looks like:
+
+```
+=== rfmem-states — k=16, n=12,847 ===
+  state #0   π=0.184  dwell=42.3s  centroid_drift=0.012  (default)
+  state #1   π=0.121  dwell=18.1s  centroid_drift=0.003
+  state #4   π=0.087  dwell=29.6s  centroid_drift=0.041
+  ...
+```
+
+**Stable IDs across runs.** The warm-start k-means recipe matches new
+centroids to the prior run's centroids by cosine similarity before
+assigning IDs. This means state #4 stays state #4 between hourly runs —
+otherwise downstream Markov transitions would scramble after every
+re-cluster.
+
+### 6.3 Let the Markov chain build
+
+After a few thousand transitions (a few hours of activity), check:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/rfmem/cog-query.py prediction-accuracy
+```
+
+You should see something like:
+
+```
+=== prediction-accuracy — training-set top-1 ceilings ===
+  1st-order:  37.1%  (16x chance baseline of 6.25%)
+  2nd-order:  39.4%  (16x chance baseline of 6.25%, 1.06x gain over 1st)
+```
+
+The 2nd-order chain beats 1st-order because it conditions on the
+**previous** state as well as the current one. Self-loops are excluded
+from the argmax (a transition is by definition a state change).
+
+### 6.4 Verify the room learned itself
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/rfmem/cog-query.py insights
+```
+
+Reads like:
+
+```
+The cluster has observed 446,231 fingerprints, clustering them into
+16 discrete RF states. The room exhibits moderately diverse (stationary
+entropy 0.82/1.0). State #4 is the dominant 'default' state (π=0.214);
+state #13 is the rarest baseline (π=0.018).
+Prediction skill (last hour, 2nd-order): top-1 12.4% (1.98x chance),
+top-3 31.0% (1.65x chance, 412 transitions) (training-set ceiling
+39.4% — operating @ 31% of capacity).
+```
+
+That "operating @ 31% of capacity" line is the operational efficiency:
+how close live performance is to the model's theoretical ceiling. Big
+gap = the room is being noisy in ways the static cluster model doesn't
+capture. Small gap = you're near SOTA for this static model.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Operating the cluster: the cog-query CLI
+
+A single CLI binary with **34 subcommands** + 4 machine-readable JSON
+modes. Practical ones (full list in the gist):
+
+| Subcommand | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `summary --hours 1` | Bird's-eye view of last hour: anomalies, transitions, recall hits |
+| `top-events --hours 24 --limit 5` | Highest-info events in window (combines novelty + tier + recency) |
+| `top-events --json` | Same, agent-consumable |
+| `insights` | Natural-language synthesis (paragraph) — what the cluster thinks |
+| `insights --json` | Same, structured |
+| `insights --post` | Same, persisted to brain as `rfmem-insights` |
+| `stats` | Corpus: per-category counts, dimensions, vector counts |
+| `motion` | Recent motion events |
+| `anomalies --sort info` | Anomalies sorted by composite info score (1.0–8.0) |
+| `circadian` | 24-hour bin of activity — does the room have a daily rhythm? |
+| `by-state` | Per-state metrics (dwell, σ-baseline, novelty distribution) |
+| `markov` | Top transitions by frequency, both 1st + 2nd-order |
+| `transitions --sort novelty` | Rare/surprising transitions |
+| `dwell-times` | How long the room stays in each state |
+| `prediction-accuracy` | 1st + 2nd-order top-1 ceilings |
+| `baseline-drift` | Has the noise floor shifted? (slow change) |
+| `centroid-drift` | Has any state's RF signature materially changed? |
+| `fleet-status` | Per-host expected-service liveness check |
+| `fleet-status --json` | Same, agent-consumable |
+| `fleet-status --post` | Same, persisted to brain as `rfmem-fleet` (heartbeat) |
+| `check-drift` | Workstation/cluster file + unit drift audit |
+| `replica-status` | Hourly cluster-2 → workstation mirror health |
+
+### The fleet-health triad
+
+Three subcommands cover the operator's full health picture:
+
+- `check-drift` — file content drift (what's deployed vs what's in git)
+- `replica-status` — workstation mirror lag (last successful sync)
+- `fleet-status` — service liveness across the 4 Pis (topology-aware)
+
+If all three are green, the cluster is healthy. If any one fires, you
+have a concrete starting point.
+
+---
+
+## 8. What you can measure
+
+After a week of runtime, you can answer questions like:
+
+- **"What's the room's most common 'baseline' state?"** → `states` shows
+  the π-dominant cluster ID.
+- **"Did anything weird happen last night?"** → `anomalies --sort info
+  --hours 12` sorts by combined-information score (novelty × tier × state-
+  rarity × calmness).
+- **"How predictable is the room?"** → `insights` reports stationary
+  entropy (0.0 = single state, 1.0 = uniform). Most rooms land 0.6–0.9.
+- **"What's the most novel transition ever observed?"** → `transitions
+  --sort novelty --limit 1`. We've seen transitions with
+  `transition_p=0.0000` — never observed before in 446k+ embeddings.
+- **"Is the room changing slowly?"** → `centroid-drift` flags states
+  whose 128-d signature has moved > 0.05 cosine distance since the prior
+  clusterer run. Common cause: a piece of furniture moved.
+- **"What's the daily rhythm?"** → `circadian` bins activity by hour.
+  Most rooms show clear morning/evening peaks.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| `nexmon_csi` build fails with FAILED hunks | Cross-compiling from x86_64 | Build on the Pi natively |
+| Pi 5 stops booting after kernel switch | Wrong `kernel=` in `/boot/firmware/config.txt` | Use `kernel=kernel8.img` |
+| First boot fails on `apt update` | No RTC → clock skew, apt rejects "future-dated" Release files | Wait for `systemd-timesyncd` in firstboot |
+| `cog-rfmem-now` times out | Workstation daemon swap-thrashing | Bump `MemoryMax=` in unit file (we run 1G) |
+| `fleet-status` shows DEGRADED on cluster-3 / v0 | Topology unaware (old version) | Update to latest — per-host expected-services |
+| Cluster-2 Hailo encoder silent | `cp -r` made encoder a directory, not a file | `install -m 0755` instead |
+| 2nd-order Markov top-1 = 0% | Self-loop dominates argmax | Zero out self-loop before `.argmax()` |
+| State IDs change between runs | No warm-start k-means | Update clusterer to match new centroids to prior run by cosine |
+| HardFaults during embedded N6 bring-up | (Different topic, see [ADR-027](../adr/) for STM32N6 startup notes) | — |
+
+---
+
+## 10. Next steps
+
+Once your cluster is producing stable predictions and clean fleet health,
+the natural directions are:
+
+1. **Cross-room correlation** — train a second cluster in another room
+   and feed both into the workstation. The brain already supports
+   multiple namespaces.
+2. **Active sensing** — instead of passively observing whatever beacon is
+   present, drive your own (e.g., dedicated 5 GHz beacon AP at fixed
+   power). Eliminates upstream variability.
+3. **Vital signs** — the RuView project has companion code for extracting
+   heart-rate and breathing from CSI; the 128-d encoder output is a
+   reasonable input feature.
+4. **Federated training** — multiple physical sites publishing to a shared
+   brain. Each site keeps its own clusters; transitions are the shared
+   vocabulary.
+5. **Push to upstream RuView** — if your cluster develops capabilities not
+   in this tutorial (you'll know by the time you've written the README),
+   send a PR.
+

+If a standalone `aggregator` command prints live packets, the ESP32 fleet is already reaching that host. To visualize the same data, stop the standalone aggregator and run `sensing-server` on that same host and UDP port. The sensing server is the aggregator used by the REST API, WebSocket stream, dashboard, and Observatory.

+  --source esp32 \

+
+If the ESP32 nodes are provisioned with `--target-ip <AGGREGATOR_HOST>`, that IP must be the machine running `sensing-server`. Only one process can receive UDP `:5005` at a time, so leave the standalone hardware `aggregator` off while the dashboard or Observatory is live.

+## Loading the Pretrained Model from Hugging Face
+
+A pretrained CSI encoder + presence-detection head is published on Hugging Face at [`ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained`](https://huggingface.co/ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained). It was trained on 60,630 frames / 610,615 contrastive triplets (12.2M steps, final loss 0.065) and reports 100% presence accuracy and ~164k embeddings/sec on an Apple M4 Pro.
+
+What it ships (and what it does not):
+
+| Capability | Status |
+|------------|--------|
+| Presence detection (occupied / empty) | ✅ Trained head — 100% accuracy on validation |
+| 128-dim CSI embeddings (re-ID, similarity, downstream training) | ✅ Trained encoder |
+| Single-person breathing / heart-rate | ⚠️ Server still uses heuristic DSP — model does not replace this yet |
+| 17-keypoint full-body pose | 🔬 No keypoint weights shipped yet — pose pipeline runs but without a learned head |
+
+### Download
+
+```bash
+pip install huggingface_hub
+huggingface-cli download ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained \
+    --local-dir models/wifi-densepose-pretrained
+```
+
+The download yields a small set of files (the `.rvf.jsonl` is the canonical container the sensing server reads):
+
+```
+models/wifi-densepose-pretrained/
+  model.rvf.jsonl       # RVF container (encoder + presence head + lora)
+  model.safetensors     # 48 KB — same encoder weights, safetensors format
+  model-q4.bin          # 8 KB — recommended quantization for edge
+  presence-head.json    # presence classifier head
+  config.json           # sona-lora rank=8 alpha=16, target encoder + task_heads
+```
+
+### Using the weights
+
+The HF artifact is in **JSONL RVF** format (one JSON object per line: `metadata`, `encoder`, `lora`). What you can do with it today:
+
+| Consumer | Format it reads | Status |
+|----------|-----------------|--------|
+| Python / PyTorch training pipeline | `model.safetensors` | ✅ Works — load with `safetensors.torch.load_file` |
+| RVF JSONL inspection / re-export | `model.rvf.jsonl` | ✅ Works — plain JSONL, parse line-by-line |
+| Sensing-server `--model <PATH>` flag | binary RVF (`RVFS` magic) | ⚠️ Does **not** accept the JSONL file yet — see gap below |
+
+**Known gap (tracked):** `v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/src/rvf_container.rs` only parses the binary RVF segment format (magic `0x52564653`). Pointing `--model` at `model.rvf.jsonl` causes the progressive loader to error with `invalid magic at offset 0: expected 0x52564653, got 0x7974227B` (`0x7974227B` is the ASCII bytes `{"ty…` from the JSONL header), and the live pipeline degrades to null output rather than falling back to heuristic mode. Until a JSONL adapter lands (or the model is re-published as binary RVF), run the sensing-server **without** `--model` and consume the HF weights from Python or the training pipeline.
+
+```bash
+# Works today — Python side (training, evaluation, embedding extraction):
+python -c "
+from safetensors.torch import load_file
+state = load_file('models/wifi-densepose-pretrained/model.safetensors')
+print({k: tuple(v.shape) for k, v in state.items()})
+"
+
+# Sensing server — run heuristic for now:
+cargo run -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server --release -- \
+    --source esp32 --udp-port 5005 --http-port 3000
+```
+
+See [RVF Model Containers](#rvf-model-containers) for the binary format the loader expects, and [Training a Model](#training-a-model) for using the encoder as a starting point for environment-specific fine-tuning.

+"""R12 — RF weather: can SVD-eigenvalue drift detect structural changes?
+
+See docs/research/sota-2026-05-22/R12-rf-weather-mapping.md.
+
+The persistent-room field model in `wifi-densepose-signal/src/ruvsense/
+field_model.rs` does an SVD on empty-room CSI to extract an eigenstructure
+that describes "what this room's RF reflection looks like with nobody
+in it". Today that's used to subtract the room's baseline so motion
+detection isn't confused by static multipath.
+
+This experiment asks a different question: **does the eigenvalue
+*spectrum* itself drift in a detectable way when something structural
+changes in the room?** "Structural change" = a new piece of furniture,
+a window that opened, water in the wall, settled foundation, missing
+ceiling tile. The 10-year vision (R12 research note) is continuous
+building-integrity monitoring from passive ambient WiFi.
+
+Test:
+  1. Take the existing 1,077 CSI windows. Split first 50% = "before",
+     last 50% = "after".
+  2. Inject a synthetic "structural perturbation" into the "after"
+     half — multiply 3 subcarriers by 0.85 (simulating a new reflective
+     surface that attenuates those frequencies).
+  3. For each half, stack the windows into a `[N, 56]` per-frame
+     matrix (each row = one timestep), compute SVD, take the top-10
+     singular values.
+  4. Measure: do the singular-value spectra differ in a way that
+     distinguishes "structural perturbation present" from "no
+     perturbation"?
+  5. Repeat with NO perturbation as control — the same first-half /
+     second-half split should produce *similar* spectra (just temporal
+     drift from operator movement, not structural).
+
+If the perturbed-vs-control eigenvalue spectra are distinguishable by
+a simple distance metric, RF-weather detection is feasible.

+"""R7 — multi-link consistency detection via Stoer-Wagner-style mincut.
+
+See docs/research/sota-2026-05-22/R7-multilink-consistency.md.
+
+Premise: in a multi-node CSI mesh, all nodes observe the same physical
+scene through slightly different channels. Their per-window CSI features
+should cluster tightly under a similarity metric. If one node is
+compromised (spoofed CSI, replay attack, jamming-induced corruption), its
+features fall outside the cluster — and the mincut of the inter-node
+similarity graph isolates it cleanly.
+
+This demo:
+  1. Synthesises 4 "honest" CSI windows from one underlying scene + per-node
+     Gaussian noise (realistic multipath variability).
+  2. Synthesises 1 "adversarial" CSI window via three attack modes:
+       (a) replay  — paste in a stale window from earlier
+       (b) shift   — add a constant offset to every subcarrier
+       (c) noise   — pure white noise of the same magnitude as honest CSI
+  3. Builds a 5×5 cross-node CSI cosine-similarity matrix.
+  4. Solves Stoer-Wagner mincut on the resulting graph.
+  5. Reports whether the mincut partition isolates the adversarial node.
+
+No framework deps — pure NumPy.
+
+Usage:

+"""R8 — RSSI-only person count: how much accuracy do we lose vs full CSI?
+
+See docs/research/sota-2026-05-22/R8-rssi-only-count.md.
+
+RSSI = received signal strength = power integrated across the WiFi band.
+The CSI amplitude vector for a single packet is `|H_k|` per subcarrier k;
+its mean over subcarriers is an unbiased proxy for the per-packet RSSI
+(equivalent up to constant scaling). So aggregating our existing
+`[56 subcarriers × 20 frames]` CSI windows along the subcarrier axis gives
+us a `[20]` "RSSI-over-time" signal — exactly what any WiFi chip without
+CSI export reports as its standard `RSSI` field.
+
+If a small MLP on the [20]-vector hits even 55-60% accuracy on the
+person-count task, RSSI-only deployment is viable across the entire WiFi-
+chip ecosystem (billions of devices), at the cost of needing per-chip
+calibration. v0.0.2 of cog-person-count itself only hits 62% on the 80/20
+random split, so the bar isn't sky-high.

+"""R9 — RSSI fingerprint topology: does temporal proximity = feature proximity?
+
+See docs/research/sota-2026-05-22/R9-rssi-fingerprint-knn.md.
+
+Hypothesis: if RSSI sequences from temporally-adjacent windows are
+nearest-neighbours in feature space, RSSI-fingerprint localisation is
+viable. If the K-NN of every query is random in time, RSSI sequences
+don't carry stable enough fingerprints — fall back to multi-modal cues
+(BSSID lists, signal-of-opportunity).
+
+Test:
+  1. Build the same 20-dim RSSI proxy from the 1,077 paired windows
+     (band-mean across 56 subcarriers per frame).
+  2. For each sample i, find K-NN in cosine-similarity space.
+  3. Measure: what fraction of the K-NN come from windows within
+     ±60 seconds of the query's timestamp?
+  4. Compare to a random baseline (what would the fraction be if K-NN
+     were chosen at random?).
+
+If the temporal-K-NN fraction is ≫ random, RSSI fingerprints have stable
+spatial structure → R9 viable.

+
+## Mixamo X Bot
+
+Demos 04 and 05 expect `assets/X Bot.fbx`. It's gitignored (size + license
+boundary). Download yours from [mixamo.com](https://mixamo.com): pick the
+"X Bot" character, export as **FBX Binary**, **T-Pose**, **Without Skin**,
+and drop it into `assets/`.
+
+## Live ESP32 CSI overlay (demo 05 only)
+
+`server/ruvultra-csi-bridge.py` is the systemd-deployable bridge that runs on
+the `ruvultra` host (over Tailscale). It listens for ESP32-S3 CSI on UDP and
+re-broadcasts it as WebSocket frames at `ws://ruvultra:8766/csi`. Demo 05
+auto-connects; if the socket is down, it falls back to the bundled idle clip
+plus a synthetic CSI driver.
+
+## Open issues
+
+- [#583](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/issues/583) — head/face tracking
+  fidelity in `05-skinned-realtime.html`. Recommended fix: swap MediaPipe
+  Pose Heavy for MediaPipe Holistic (same API, adds 468-point face mesh +
+  hand landmarks for proper PnP head pose and finger curl tracking).

This is a **slot-capacity heuristic**, not a learned counter — the reported count tracks subcarrier diversity, not actual occupancy.

 - **Vitals packet** -- 32-byte UDP packet at 1 Hz (magic `0xC5110002`)
 
+### What this firmware does NOT do (Tier 2 caveats)
+
+- It does **not** run a trained neural model. The "person count" is an
+  arithmetic slot-capacity heuristic over the top-K subcarrier groups
+  (`firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/edge_processing.c:481`). It tracks
+  subcarrier diversity, not actual occupancy.
+- It does **not** run pose estimation. Pose-related features in the host
+  UI come from the Rust `wifi-densepose-sensing-server` running a separate
+  pipeline. When no `.rvf` model file is loaded via `--model`, the server
+  drives the on-screen skeleton from signal-based heuristics (amplitude
+  variance, motion-band power), not from learned keypoint inference. The
+  repository does not ship pre-trained weights — see issues
+  [#509](../../issues/509) and [#506](../../issues/506) for context, and
+  [ADR-079](../../docs/adr/ADR-079-camera-supervised-pose-finetune.md) for
+  the planned training path (phases P7-P9 are `Pending`).
+- The presence indicator is a calibrated variance threshold and **will
+  false-positive** under strong RF interference from non-human sources
+  (fans near the antenna, microwave duty cycles, neighbouring AP power
+  swings) without re-running the 60-second ambient calibration. If you
+  see ghost detections, re-calibrate by power-cycling in an empty room.

-ESP32-S3 CSI Node Provisioning Script
+ESP32 CSI node provisioning (ESP32-S3, ESP32-C6, other targets).
 
 Writes WiFi credentials and aggregator target to the ESP32's NVS partition
 so users can configure a pre-built firmware binary without recompiling.
 
 Usage:
     python provision.py --port COM7 --ssid "MyWiFi" --password "secret" --target-ip 192.168.1.20
+    python provision.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --chip esp32c6 --ssid "..." \\
+        --password "..." --target-ip 192.168.1.20
 
 Requirements:
     pip install 'esptool>=5.0' nvs-partition-gen
     (or use the nvs_partition_gen.py bundled with ESP-IDF)
 
-WARNING -- FULL-REPLACE SEMANTICS (issue #391):
-    Every invocation REPLACES the entire `csi_cfg` NVS namespace on the device.
-    Any key you don't pass on the CLI is erased. Always include WiFi credentials
-    (--ssid, --password, --target-ip) unless you pass --force-partial.
+ADDITIVE-BY-DEFAULT (issue #391, #574 phase 1):
+    Earlier versions of this script REPLACED the entire `csi_cfg` NVS namespace
+    on the device every invocation, wiping any key you didn't pass on the CLI.
+    That cost customers hours of unnecessary friction.
+
+    The script now MERGES new CLI flags with the per-port state previously
+    written from this machine (stored under your user config dir; see
+    `--state-dir` to override or `--state` to inspect). On every invocation:
+
+        1. Read the prior per-port state file (or treat as empty if absent).
+        2. Overlay the new CLI flags on top.
+        3. Generate + flash NVS from the merged state.
+        4. Write the merged state back to the state file.
+
+    Net effect: partial reconfigure works the way users expect. Pass `--reset`
+    to wipe both the state file AND the device NVS for first-time provisioning
+    of a recycled board.
+
+    Caveat: state lives on the controlling machine. Provisioning the same
+    device from a second machine starts from an empty state — pass the keys
+    you want to keep on that invocation, or pre-seed the state file. A future
+    follow-up will add USB-CDC NVS dump for true device-authoritative merging
+    (tracked in #574).
