docs(bench): append v0.0.2 section to person-count benchmark log

Documents the K-fold diagnostic (62.2 ± 1.9% / class-1 57.1%) that
justified v0.0.2, the v0.0.2 numbers (class-1 0% → 34.3%), and the
honest read that the gap to the K-fold mean is run-to-run variance
not missing improvement.

+## 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.

 `cog-person-count health` will load the real safetensors and report `backend: candle-cpu` rather than `backend: stub`, so the cog-gateway can verify the model loaded — but operators should treat the v0.0.1 count outputs as scaffold-validation rather than production data. The 2.36 MB binary + 392 KB weights + 16 KB ONNX are all real and reusable as soon as more data lands.
 
+## Relationship to the in-process `csi.rs::score_to_person_count` heuristic
+
+This Cog runs **out-of-process** alongside `wifi-densepose-sensing-server`. The two are complementary, not competing:
+
+- The sensing-server keeps emitting its existing slot-count heuristic from `csi.rs::score_to_person_count` (PR #491's RollingP95 + `dedup_factor`). This is the **fallback path** — operators who don't install `cog-person-count` still get a count number, just a less calibrated one.
+- `cog-person-count` (this binary) polls the same `/api/v1/sensing/latest` endpoint, runs the learned `count_v1` model on each window, and emits `person.count` events on stdout. The appliance's `cognitum-cog-gateway` routes those events to the dashboard via the standard ADR-220 cog-event channel.
+
+Operators choose by **installing or not installing** this Cog — no sensing-server rebuild required. Downstream consumers (UI, fleet automation, alerting rules) can subscribe to whichever event stream they prefer.
+
+The architecture decision is documented in [ADR-103 §"Deployment"](../../../../docs/adr/ADR-103-learned-multi-person-counter.md#deployment) and matches the cog/sensing-server boundary established for `cog-pose-estimation` (ADR-101).
+
 ## Security
 
 The cog has a very small attack surface — by design, it's a pure consumer of CSI data, not a server:
