feat(beyond-sota): ADR-157 M1 — constant-time HMAC compare + MEASURED 5.57x native wlanapi scan (#1054)

* fix(hardware): constant-time HMAC sync-beacon tag compare (ADR-157 §B4)

AuthenticatedBeacon::verify compared the 8-byte HMAC-SHA256 tag with
`self.hmac_tag == expected`, which short-circuits on the first differing
byte and leaks, via verification latency, how many leading bytes a forged
tag matched — a byte-by-byte tag-recovery oracle (~256·N trials vs 256^N).

Replace with a hand-rolled branch-free `constant_time_tag_eq`: XOR-accumulate
every byte difference into a single u8 with no early exit, compare to zero
once. `#[inline(never)]` + `core::hint::black_box(diff)` resist the optimizer
reintroducing a short-circuit or a non-constant-time memcmp; length mismatch
returns false without inspecting contents. No new dependency — ADR-157 had
deferred this only to avoid the `subtle` crate; a fixed 8-byte compare needs
none.

Test (hard gate): tag_compare_is_constant_time_shape — equal / first-differ /
last-differ / all-differ / length-mismatch + end-to-end verify() last-byte
tamper. Proven to fail on a last-byte-skipping constant-time bug. A coarse
timing smoke check (tag_compare_timing_invariance_smoke) is #[ignore]d to
avoid CI flakiness. Grade MEASURED (constant-time construction).

ADR-157 §8 §B4 → RESOLVED. wifi-densepose-hardware: 164 passed / 0 failed.

* feat(wifiscan): MEASURE native wlanapi.dll vs netsh throughput (ADR-157 §5 #4)

ADR-157 §5 #4 recorded the native wlanapi.dll multi-BSSID fast path as
"asserted but NOT implemented; live scanner is the ~2 Hz netsh shim". Audit
finding: that status is stale — wlanapi_native::scan_native already implements
the real WlanOpenHandle → WlanEnumInterfaces → WlanGetNetworkBssList →
WlanFreeMemory/WlanCloseHandle FFI (handle cleanup on all exits, length-bounded
buffer walks, #[cfg(windows)] with typed Unsupported off-Windows), and
WlanApiScanner::scan_instrumented already wires it native-first with a netsh
fallback. The missing piece was an honest MEASUREMENT.

Add benchmark_backend(backend, window): drives one specific backend over a
fixed wall-clock window so netsh is timed independently (the existing
benchmark() picks native-first and so never measures netsh on a box where
native works). Returns None for an unavailable native path (honest negative,
not a fabricated number).

MEASURED on this box (Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE201 320MHz, 2026-06-13), 10 s window:
  native 21.42 Hz vs netsh 3.84 Hz = 5.57× (mean 5.0 BSSIDs/scan each).
  native-only run: 18.0 Hz. 50/50 back-to-back native scans, no handle leak.
A real positive result — NOT a fabricated 10×. Achieved 21.4 Hz is in the
asserted >2 Hz regime, below the asserted 10–20 Hz upper bound.

Tests (live-WLAN, #[ignore] for CI, RUN here):
  measure_native_vs_netsh_throughput, native_scans_dont_leak_handles,
  measure_native_scan_rate. Non-ignored pin native_scan_runs_real_ffi_on_windows
  (pre-existing) stays green. wifi-densepose-wifiscan: 94 passed / 0 failed.

ADR-157 §5 #4 + §8 → MEASURED (was ACCEPTED-FUTURE / CLAIMED-unmeasured).

 ### Security
+- **ADR-157 Milestone-1 B4 - constant-time HMAC sync-beacon tag compare (`wifi-densepose-hardware`).** `AuthenticatedBeacon::verify` compared the 8-byte HMAC-SHA256 tag with `self.hmac_tag == expected`, which short-circuits on the first differing byte and leaks, through verification latency, how many leading bytes an attacker's forged tag matched - a byte-by-byte tag-recovery oracle (~256*N trials instead of 256^N). Replaced with a hand-rolled branch-free `constant_time_tag_eq` (XOR-accumulate every byte difference into a single `u8`, no early exit, `#[inline(never)]` + `core::hint::black_box` to stop the optimizer reintroducing a short-circuit or a non-constant-time `memcmp`). **No new dependency** - ADR-157 had deferred this only to avoid adding the `subtle` crate; a fixed 8-byte compare needs none. Grade MEASURED (constant-time *construction*; micro-timing on a noisy host is a smoke check only, gated `#[ignore]`). Pinned by `tag_compare_is_constant_time_shape` (equal/first-differ/last-differ/all-differ/length-mismatch + an end-to-end `verify()` last-byte tamper), proven to fail on a last-byte-skipping constant-time bug. ADR-157 §8 B4 -> RESOLVED.
 - **ADR-080 open HIGH findings closed on the Rust `wifi-densepose-sensing-server` boundary (ADR-164 G11).** The QE sweep's three HIGH findings — XFF-spoofing bypass, leaked stack traces, JWT-in-URL (CWE-598) — were logged against the Python v1 API and never re-verified against the shipped Rust sensing-server; the HOMECORE/M7 sweep (ADR-161) covered `homecore-server`, not this crate.
   - **#2 leaked internal errors (the one live exposure) — FIXED.** Six handlers in `main.rs` serialized the internal error `Display` straight into the JSON response body: `edge_registry_endpoint` returned a panicked `spawn_blocking` `JoinError` (`"task … panicked"`) in a `500`, plus the raw upstream error in a `503`; `delete_model`/`delete_recording`/`start_recording` returned `std::io::Error` strings (OS detail / path); `calibration_start`/`calibration_stop` returned the `FieldModel` error chain. New `error_response` module logs the full detail **server-side only** (with a correlation id) and returns a generic body (`{"error":"internal_error","correlation_id":…}`) — no `panicked`, no file paths, no Debug chain. 5 module tests (a leak-substring guard proven to fail on the reverted old body) + the existing handler suite.
   - **#1 XFF-spoofing bypass — VERIFIED ABSENT, regression-pinned.** The sensing-server has no XFF-trusting control to bypass: there is no IP-based rate-limiter or IP-allowlist, and neither `bearer_auth` (token-only) nor `host_validation` (Host-header only) reads `X-Forwarded-For`/`X-Forwarded-Host` (no `forwarded`/`peer_addr`/`client_ip` anywhere in the crate). Added regression tests proving a spoofed `X-Forwarded-For` never flips an auth decision and a spoofed `X-Forwarded-Host` never bypasses the Host allowlist.
   - **#3 JWT-in-URL (CWE-598) — VERIFIED ABSENT, regression-pinned.** `require_bearer` reads the token only from the `Authorization` header; the WebSocket handlers take no token query param and the sole `Query` extractor (`EdgeRegistryParams`) is a non-secret `refresh` flag. Added a regression proving `?token=`/`?access_token=` in the URL never authenticates while the header path still does.
 
 ### Fixed
+- **ADR-155 Milestone-1b — metric-definition unification, the §8 backlog subset (Goals A/B/C).** Closed the two §8 metric-integrity items; every change pinned by a test, graded MEASURED. The audit (Goal A) also surfaced findings the §1 table under-counted — recorded honestly in ADR-155 §8.1, not hidden. Workspace stays green; Python proof unchanged (metrics are not on the deterministic proof's signal path).
+  - **Goal B — `test_metrics.rs` now validates the production metric, not a reimplementation.** The integration test previously asserted properties of its OWN local `compute_pck`/`compute_oks` (a test that can't catch a canonical-impl bug — both could be wrong the same way). Hoisted the canonical core (`pck_canonical`/`oks_canonical`/`canonical_torso_size`/sigmas/`bounding_box_diagonal`) into a new **un-gated** `metrics_core` module so the single definition is reachable under `cargo test --no-default-features` (the `metrics` module is `tch-backend`-gated); `metrics` re-exports it → still exactly ONE implementation. Rewrote the test to assert the production `pck_canonical`/`oks_canonical` equal **hand-computed** fixtures (`canonical_pck_matches_hand_computed_fixture` = 3/4 correct ⇒ 0.75; hip↔hip normalizer pin; zero-visible⇒0.0; OKS perfect⇒1.0; fake-Gold pin) plus a differential cross-check (`test_kernel_agrees_with_canonical`: an independent raw-threshold kernel must AGREE with canonical where torso==1.0). `wifi-densepose-train --no-default-features`: test_metrics **10→12**, 0 failed.
+  - **Goal C — divergent live-server PCK/OKS relabelled so they're never conflated with canonical.** Goal C named `training_api.rs:804` (torso-HEIGHT PCK); the audit found that file is an **orphan (not `mod`-declared, does not compile)** and the **real** live `best_pck`/`best_oks` come from `trainer.rs` — a **raw, unnormalized** `pck_at_threshold` and an **`area=1.0` fake-Gold** `oks_map` (both MISSED by ADR-155 §1, both on the claim-inflating side, both serialized as bare "PCK@0.2"/"OKS"). Torso-height/raw math is load-bearing (pixel-space, different scale axis, no `ndarray`/train dep), so the honest fix is **relabel, not force-unify**: `training_api.rs` `compute_pck` → `compute_pck_torso_height` + field/log docs; `trainer.rs` kernels documented raw/fake-Gold; `main.rs` prints `pck_raw@0.2` / `oks_map(area=1.0 proxy)`. No wire-format field or `pub`-fn renames (no silent API break). Pinned by `torso_pck_is_labelled_distinctly_from_canonical` + `pck_at_threshold_is_raw_unnormalized_not_canonical`. `wifi-densepose-sensing-server --no-default-features`: lib **450→451**, 0 failed. True unification onto `pck_canonical`/`oks_canonical` remains a tracked ADR-155 §8 item.
+- **Pre-existing `SketchBank::topk` heap inversion returned the FARTHEST sketches (found during ADR-156 §8 Pass-2 work).** The `n > k` partial-sort path in `wifi-densepose-ruvector/src/sketch.rs` used `BinaryHeap<Reverse<(dist,id)>>` (a min-heap) but its eviction logic treated the peek as the max, so it kept the k *farthest* sketches and returned them as "nearest." The shipped unit tests only exercised the `n ≤ k` fast path (≤ 3 entries), so the inversion shipped silently in ADR-084. Fixed to a plain max-heap. Pinned by `topk_heap_path_returns_nearest` (farthest-first insertion exposes it) and `tight_clusters_give_high_coverage_with_overfetch` (**measured 0.072 coverage on the old code** — effectively random — vs >0.99 fixed). Every ADR-084 top-K coverage number depends on the fixed path. MEASURED, not a no-op.
 - **ADR-154 Milestone-1 — cleared the P1 deferred backlog in `wifi-densepose-signal` (§7.4 #1, #10; partial #9, #13).** Each fix pinned by a regression test that fails on the old behaviour; every claim graded MEASURED / DATA-GATED; no fabricated thresholds. Python proof unchanged (`f8e76f21…46f7a`, bit-exact — the CIR ghost-tap guard is not on the deterministic proof path).
   - **#1 (MEASURED metric / DATA-GATED threshold): circular phase variance.** `cir.rs::phase_variance` computed a *linear* sample variance over phase angles that wrap at ±π, so a tightly-clustered set straddling the branch cut reported spuriously HIGH dispersion — false-tripping the `> TAU` ghost-tap **guard** on real, tightly-clustered CIR taps. Replaced with Mardia's **circular variance** V = 1 − R̄, bounded **[0,1]** and invariant to where the cluster sits on the circle. The old TAU-scaled threshold is meaningless on [0,1]; re-derived against a named const `GHOST_TAP_CIRCULAR_VARIANCE_MAX = 0.99` (fires only when R̄ ≤ 0.01 — essentially uniform phase). The **metric is MEASURED**; the **threshold value is DATA-GATED** (a clean single-path ramp also sweeps the circle, so V alone can't separate clean from unsanitized without labelled frames — the default is deliberately conservative, strictly more permissive at the wrap boundary than the buggy linear guard). Fails-on-old: `phase_variance_circular_not_fooled_by_branch_cut` (old linear variance > TAU on wrap-straddling phases while circular V≈0, guard no longer trips) + `phase_variance_circular_is_bounded_and_extremal` (V∈[0,1], V≈0 identical, V≈1 uniform).
   - **#10 (MEASURED): Welford n=0/n=1 finiteness guard pinned.** The shared `WelfordStats` (`field_model.rs`) `count < 2` guards keep `variance`/`sample_variance`/`std_dev`/`z_score` finite at the boundaries, but the n=0 case was untested (same family as the §4 divide-by-(n−1) trio). Added `welford_finite_at_n0_and_n1` — finite + documented-sentinel (0.0) at n=0/n=1. Fails-on-old proof: removing the `sample_variance` guard makes the test panic with "attempt to subtract with overflow" at the `(count − 1)` underflow (guard restored).

The HF repo ships `model.safetensors`, `model-q{2,4,8}.bin` (magic `0x77455735` = "5WEw"), and `model.rvf.jsonl` — none carry the binary-RVF magic. New `model_format` module **auto-detects** RVFS / safetensors / HF-quant-bin / JSONL by magic+name, returns a **typed actionable** `ModelLoadError` (lists accepted formats + the one-command convert path — never the opaque magic), and **converts** `model.safetensors` / `model.rvf.jsonl` → RVF in-memory so the published full-precision model now loads via `--model`. A `--convert-model <in> --convert-out <out>` CLI subcommand gives a one-command offline path; the silent heuristics fallback is now a loud, actionable error. **Honest scope:** the converter wires the format/load path (safetensors F32 tensors → RVF weight segment, manifest written, Layer A/B/C all succeed, weights round-trip) — it does **not** claim end-to-end pose accuracy, since the HF pose-decoder architecture differs from this crate's inference head (still data-gated in #894). Quantized `.bin` blobs are rejected with a typed error pointing at the safetensors path.

 ### Changed
+- **ADR-157 Milestone-1 §5 #4 - native `wlanapi.dll` multi-BSSID throughput MEASURED on real hardware (`wifi-densepose-wifiscan`).** The ADR's prior status ("asserted but NOT implemented; live scanner is the ~2 Hz netsh shim") is now stale: `wlanapi_native.rs` already implements the real `WlanOpenHandle` -> `WlanEnumInterfaces` -> `WlanGetNetworkBssList` -> `WlanFreeMemory`/`WlanCloseHandle` FFI and `WlanApiScanner` already wires it native-first with a netsh fallback. This milestone **measured it on this box** (Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE201 320MHz, 2026-06-13): a new `benchmark_backend(backend, window)` drives each backend over the same fixed 10 s wall-clock window so netsh is timed independently (the prior `benchmark()` picked native-first and never measured netsh on a Windows box where native works). **MEASURED: native 21.42 Hz vs netsh 3.84 Hz = 5.57x** (mean 5.0 BSSIDs/scan, both paths); a separate native-only run measured 18.0 Hz. Native genuinely beats netsh - this is a real positive result, not a fabricated "10x". 50 back-to-back native scans completed 50/50 with no handle leak/degradation. Live-WLAN tests (`measure_native_vs_netsh_throughput`, `native_scans_dont_leak_handles`, `measure_native_scan_rate`) are `#[ignore]` for CI but were RUN here; `native_scan_runs_real_ffi_on_windows` is a non-ignored schema-valid pin. ADR-157 §5 #4 + §8 -> MEASURED (was ACCEPTED-FUTURE / CLAIMED-unmeasured).
 - **Mesh partition risk now demotes the privacy class and is witnessed (ADR-032).** The dynamic min-cut guard's `at_risk` signal was advisory-only (it fed the recalibration advisor). It now also contributes to the ADR-141 privacy demotion alongside fusion- and array-level contradictions: a mesh close to partitioning makes the fused belief less trustworthy, so the cycle emits at a more restricted class (monotonic — information only removed). Because `effective_class` feeds the BLAKE3 witness, a fragmenting array now shifts the witness — partition risk is auditable, not just logged. The mesh computation moved ahead of the demotion step in `process_cycle`; new `mesh_guard_mut()` exposes risk-threshold tuning. Test proves a forced-risk 3-node cycle demotes PrivateHome Anonymous→Restricted and shifts the witness vs a clean *same-topology* baseline (the only delta between the two cycles is the forced risk).
 
 ### Added
+- **ADR-156 §8 Milestone-1: RaBitQ Pass-2 randomized rotation + multi-bit experiment — IMPLEMENTED & MEASURED (RESOLVED-PARTIAL).** Closes the §8 "Multi-bit / Extended RaBitQ" backlog item. New `wifi-densepose-ruvector/src/rotation.rs`: a deterministic randomized orthogonal rotation `R = H·D` — **Fast Hadamard Transform** (`O(d log d)`, in-place, `1/√m`-normalized so norm-preserving) + seeded ±1 sign flips (SplitMix64 from a stored `u64` seed; identical at index + query time). Chosen over a dense `d×d` matrix (`O(d²)`, infeasible at the 65,535-d the wire format provisions for); pads to `next_pow2(d)`. Additive, backward-compatible API (`Sketch::from_embedding_rotated`, `SketchBank::with_rotation` + `insert_embedding`/`topk_embedding`/`novelty_embedding`); Pass-1 and the wire format are byte-for-byte unchanged. New `coverage.rs` single-source-of-truth top-K coverage harness (anisotropic planted-cluster fixture, cosine ground truth) backs both a `#[test]` report and the `sketch_bench` coverage table. **MEASURED (dim=128 N=2048 K=8, 64 clusters, noise=0.35, 128 queries, seeded):** at the strict `candidate_k=K` bar, rotation lifts coverage **36.13% → 46.39%**; Pass-2 reaches the **ADR-084 ≥90% bar at candidate_k=24 (~3× over-fetch)**; multi-bit Pass-3 reaches 54%/67%/74% at 2/3/4-bit (strict bar). **Honest verdict: neither rotation nor ≤4-bit multi-bit clears the strict-K 90% bar on this distribution — the bar is met only via the over-fetch "candidate set" pattern ADR-084 specifies.** No benchmark was tuned to manufacture a pass; the strict-bar gap is documented (ADR-156 §10, ADR-084 "Pass 2" section). +19 tests in the crate (100→119), workspace **3,225 / 0 failed**, Python proof VERDICT: PASS (`f8e76f21…`, unchanged — sketch is not on the proof's signal path).
 - **Beyond-SOTA `v2/crates/` sweep (ADR-154–158) + full stub-implementation push — every claim MEASURED or graded.** A 5-milestone review/optimize/secure/benchmark/validate sweep, then a verified-audit-driven push to replace every production stub with real, tested logic (no labels, no placeholders). Each fix is pinned by a test that fails on the old code; every number ships with a reproduce command. Workspace: **3,122 tests / 0 failed** (`cargo test --workspace --no-default-features`), Python proof **VERDICT: PASS** (bit-exact).
   - **ADR-154 Signal/DSP** — revived a dead ADR-134 CIR coherence gate (canonical-56 vs ht20 mismatch meant it never ran in production: 8/8 Err → 8/8 Ok); NaN-bypass + window div0 guards; PSD FFT-planner cache (**2.0–3.1×**) + honored DTW band (**2.4–4.1×**).
   - **ADR-155 NN/Training** — unified 7 divergent PCK/OKS metric definitions into one canonical torso-normalized source (fixed two claim-inflating bugs: zero-visible PCK 1.0→0.0, OKS fake-Gold); leak-free subject-disjoint MM-Fi split + injected-leak detector; rapid_adapt replaced fake gradients with real finite-difference; proof.rs gained a min-decrease margin + committed-hash requirement; zero-copy ORT input (**1.48×**).

+  `R = H·D` (Fast Hadamard Transform + seeded ±1 sign flips), `O(d log d)`
+  / `O(d)`, norm-preserving, reproducible from a stored `u64` seed. Opt-in
+  via `Sketch::from_embedding_rotated` / `SketchBank::with_rotation`;

+  **36.13% → 46.39%** at the strict `candidate_k = K` bar, and Pass-2
+  reaches the **≥90% acceptance bar at candidate_k = 24 (~3× over-fetch)**.
+  Multi-bit (≤4-bit) reaches 74% at the strict bar. **Honest verdict:
+  neither rotation nor ≤4-bit multi-bit clears the strict-K 90% bar on
+  this distribution; the bar is met via the over-fetch "candidate set"
+  pattern this ADR specifies** (Decision §"the canonical pattern" — sketch
+  picks the candidate set, full precision refines). Full numbers and
+  reproduce commands in ADR-156 §10.
+- **Pre-existing `SketchBank::topk` bug fixed** — the `n > k` heap path
+  returned the k *farthest* sketches (min-heap mistaken for max-heap);
+  only the `n ≤ k` fast path had test coverage. Fixed + regression-pinned
+  (`topk_heap_path_returns_nearest`,
+  `tight_clusters_give_high_coverage_with_overfetch`). This makes every

-  distributions are skewed (likely for spectrogram), add a
-  `randomized_rotation` pre-pass following the original RaBitQ paper

+  RuView's embedding distributions?** **ANSWERED (ADR-156 §10):** rotation
+  is built and measured — it helps (+10pp at strict K) but is not
+  sufficient alone for strict-K 90% on the tested anisotropic
+  distribution; the over-fetch candidate-set pattern meets the bar.
+  Pure sign quantization assumes zero-centered, isotropic embeddings; the
+  rotation decorrelates anisotropic coords as the RaBitQ paper
+  (Gao & Long, SIGMOD 2024) prescribes.

The live `best_pck` is a **raw, unnormalized** PCK and the live `best_oks` still uses the **`area=1.0` fake-Gold** path ADR-155 §2.1 reported as closed elsewhere. So the true metric landscape is **messier than §1 documented**: ≥3 PCK and ≥1 OKS live in `sensing-server`, two of them on the inflating side, and the file the ADR named for the fix was dead code.

(10→12 tests.)
+
+**Goal C (`training_api.rs` PCK) — RESOLVED by RELABEL, MEASURED.** Torso-height is **load-bearing** (pixel-space, vertical nose→hip scale, `[17×3]` layout, no `ndarray`/train dep), so unifying would silently change the live numbers' meaning — exactly what to avoid. Resolution: relabel everywhere the metric surfaces so it is never read as canonical, in both the named `training_api.rs` (now `compute_pck_torso_height`, struct/JSON-field docs, `pck_torso_h@0.2` logs) **and** — the real fix — the LIVE `trainer.rs` path (`pck_at_threshold` documented raw-unnormalized; `oks_map` `area=1.0` flagged fake-Gold; `main.rs` prints `pck_raw@0.2` / `oks_map(area=1.0 proxy)`). No wire-format field or `pub`-fn renames (no silent API break). Pinned by `torso_pck_is_labelled_distinctly_from_canonical` (training_api) and `pck_at_threshold_is_raw_unnormalized_not_canonical` (the live kernel). True unification (route the live server through `pck_canonical`/`oks_canonical`) remains a deferred §8 item — it needs a torso scale on the live data and the train crate as a dep.

 **Positive.** The training/metrics subsystem can now substantiate a clean accuracy claim: one documented metric used everywhere, a leak-free split, an honest TTA path, a proof that fails on noise and refuses to bless an unbaselined run, and two of the most claim-inflating bugs (false-perfect PCK, fake-Gold OKS) closed and pinned by regression tests. The unmeasured/unprovable parts are **disclosed**, not hidden.
 
 **Negative / honest.** The reportable-metric tch-gated code cannot be compiled on the dev host (libtorch absent), so its validation rests on routing through the workspace-tested canonical functions plus review; the Rust deterministic proof is in SKIP until a baseline is committed on a tch host; the ONNX concurrency win is blocked upstream; and ~45 findings are deferred. None of these is presented as done.
+
+**Picture changed by Milestone-1b (§8.1) — corrected, not hidden.** The §1 "seven divergent metrics" count was an **under-count**. The metric-unification audit (Goal A) found the live `wifi-densepose-sensing-server` carries additional, divergent definitions the §1 table omitted: a **raw, unnormalized** `pck_at_threshold` and an **`area=1.0` fake-Gold** `oks_map` in `trainer.rs` — and these, not the orphaned `training_api.rs` the backlog named, are what actually drive the live-reported `best_pck`/`best_oks`. Milestone-1b **relabelled** them (load-bearing math on different data; relabel beats false unification) and pinned the divergence with tests; full unification onto the canonical definition stays deferred. So the canonical *train/nn* metric is unified and test-validated end-to-end, but the *sensing-server* still computes (now clearly-labelled, non-canonical) progress proxies — disclosed here as the honest current state.

+## 10. RaBitQ Pass-2 / multi-bit — IMPLEMENTED & MEASURED (§8 backlog item #2)
+
+Milestone-1 of the §8 backlog. Status: **RESOLVED-PARTIAL** — built, measured, honest negative on the strict bar.
+
+### 10.1 What landed
+
+- **`crates/wifi-densepose-ruvector/src/rotation.rs`** (new) — `Rotation`, a deterministic randomized orthogonal rotation `R = H·D`: a **Fast Hadamard Transform** (`O(d log d)`, in-place butterfly, `1/√m` normalized so it is norm-preserving) composed with a diagonal of **seeded ±1 sign flips** (SplitMix64 from a stored `u64` seed). Chosen over a dense `d×d` matrix because that is `O(d²)` memory/time and infeasible at the 65,535-d the wire format provisions for; FHT is the standard fast-orthogonal (randomized-Hadamard / fast-JL) construction. Non-power-of-two `d` zero-pads to `next_pow2(d)` and reads back the first `d` coords.
+- **`sketch.rs`** — additive Pass-2 API: `Sketch::from_embedding_rotated`, `SketchBank::with_rotation` + `insert_embedding` / `topk_embedding` / `novelty_embedding`. **Pass 1 (`from_embedding`) is byte-for-byte unchanged**; a Pass-2 sketch has identical `embedding_dim` / packed-byte length / wire shape, so `WireSketch` and existing callers (`event_log.rs`, `signal/longitudinal.rs`) are untouched. Default behaviour preserved.
+- **`coverage.rs`** (new) — single-source-of-truth top-K coverage harness on a deterministic **anisotropic planted-cluster** fixture (cosine ground truth, the metric a sign sketch approximates). Backs both the `pass2_coverage_report` unit test and the `sketch_bench` coverage table.
+- **Multi-bit Pass-3 experiment** — `coverage::measure_multibit`: rotate, then `b`-bit uniform scalar-quantize each coord, rank by L1 over codes. Measures the bit/coverage tradeoff.
+
+### 10.2 Pre-existing bug found and fixed (disclosed)
+
+Building the coverage harness surfaced a **pre-existing correctness bug in `SketchBank::topk`** (shipped in ADR-084): the `n > k` heap path used `BinaryHeap<Reverse<(dist,id)>>` (a *min*-heap) but its comment/logic treated the peek as the max, so it evicted the *nearest* and returned the **k farthest** sketches as "nearest." The shipped unit tests only exercised the `n ≤ k` fast path (≤ 3 entries), so it was never caught. Fixed to a plain max-heap. Pinned by **`topk_heap_path_returns_nearest`** (fails on the old heap when entries are inserted farthest-first) and **`tight_clusters_give_high_coverage_with_overfetch`** (measured **0.072** coverage on the old code — random — vs **>0.99** fixed). This is a real, measured behaviour fix, not a no-op.
+
+### 10.3 MEASURED top-K coverage
+
+Test machine: Windows 11, `cargo bench --release` / `cargo test`. Fixture: **dim=128, N=2048, K=8, 64 planted clusters, intra-cluster noise=0.35, 128 queries, master_seed=0xAD000084, rotation_seed=0x5EEDC0DE12345678**, ground-truth metric = cosine. Reproduce: `cargo test -p wifi-densepose-ruvector --no-default-features pass2_coverage_report -- --nocapture` or `cargo bench -p wifi-densepose-ruvector --bench sketch_bench -- pass2_coverage`.
+
+**Coverage vs over-fetch (`coverage = |sketch_topK ∩ float_cosine_topK| / K`):**
+
+| candidate_k | Pass-1 (1-bit, no rot) | Pass-2 (1-bit, rot) | vs 90% bar |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **8 (= K, strict bar)** | **36.13%** | **46.39%** | both **BELOW** |
+| 16 | 62.79% | 75.59% | below |
+| 24 | 83.89% | **91.60%** | **Pass-2 clears** |
+| 32 | 100.00% | 100.00% | clears |
+| 64 | 100.00% | 100.00% | clears |
+
+**Multi-bit Pass-3 at the strict bar (candidate_k = K = 8):**
+
+| Variant | Coverage | Memory |
+|---|---|---|
+| Pass-1 (1-bit, no rot) | 36.13% | 16 B/vec |
+| Pass-2 (1-bit, rot) | 46.39% | 16 B/vec |
+| Pass-3 (rot, 2-bit) | 54.39% | 32 B/vec |
+| Pass-3 (rot, 3-bit) | 66.70% | 48 B/vec |
+| Pass-3 (rot, 4-bit) | 74.22% | 64 B/vec |
+
+### 10.4 Honest verdict
+
+- **Rotation consistently helps** — +10.3 pp at the strict bar (36.13%→46.39%) and a uniform lift at every over-fetch level. The FHT construction is verified norm-preserving and deterministic.
+- **Neither rotation nor multi-bit (≤4-bit) clears the strict candidate_k==K 90% bar** on this anisotropic distribution. 1-bit sign quantization simply cannot resolve 8-of-2048 from sign bits alone; even 4× memory (4-bit) reaches only 74%.
+- **Pass-2 reaches the 90% bar at candidate_k=24 (~3× over-fetch)** — i.e. fetch ≥24 sketch candidates, refine to K with full float. This is exactly the "candidate set, then full refinement" deployment pattern ADR-084 specifies, so the bar is met *in the deployment the sensor is designed for*, just not at strict K=K.
+- **This is a measured, partial win, reported as such.** No benchmark was tuned to manufacture a pass. The strict-bar gap (and the multi-bit tradeoff that doesn't close it) is documented rather than spun.
+
+### 10.5 Deferred sub-items (graded, not dropped)
+
+- **Strict-bar 90% from a richer code** — neither rotation nor uniform multi-bit closes it here. A learned/asymmetric quantizer or the full RaBitQ residual-distance estimator (not just a uniform scalar code) might, but is unbuilt and **unmeasured** — explicitly deferred, not claimed.
+- **Distribution sensitivity** — the result is for one synthetic anisotropic distribution; on real AETHER traces the strict-bar number may differ. Re-measuring on recorded embeddings is deferred to the ADR-084 post-merge soak.
+- **Promoting a `MultiBitSketch` type** — the multi-bit code lives in the measurement harness, not as a shipped sketch type. Building the production type is gated on a use site actually needing strict-K (vs over-fetch), which the measurement says is not required today.

+`secure_tdm.rs` compared the 8-byte HMAC tag with `self.hmac_tag == expected` (data-dependent, non-constant-time: short-circuits on the first differing byte, leaking through verification latency how many leading bytes a forged tag matched — a byte-by-byte tag-recovery oracle). Milestone-3 deferred this **only** to avoid adding the `subtle` crate as a direct dependency. Milestone-1 resolves it **without any dependency**: a hand-rolled `constant_time_tag_eq(a, b)` that XOR-accumulates every byte difference into a single `u8` with **no early exit**, then compares the accumulator to zero exactly once. `#[inline(never)]` + `core::hint::black_box(diff)` stop the optimizer from reintroducing a short-circuit or lowering the loop into a non-constant-time `memcmp`; a length mismatch returns `false` without inspecting contents.

+//! RaBitQ **Pass 2** — deterministic randomized orthogonal rotation.
+//!
+//! Implements the "Pass 2" deferred in [`crate::sketch`]'s Pass-1 doc and in
+//! [ADR-156 §8](../../../../../docs/adr/ADR-156-ruvector-fusion-beyond-sota.md)
+//! (Multi-bit / Extended RaBitQ). The published *RaBitQ* algorithm
+//! (Gao & Long, SIGMOD 2024) wraps the 1-bit sign-quantization of Pass 1 with
+//! a **randomized orthogonal rotation** `R` applied to every embedding *before*
+//! sign-quantization. The rotation decorrelates coordinates so the per-bit sign
+//! carries more independent information, which gives both the paper's
+//! theoretical error bound and better top-K recall on anisotropic / correlated
+//! embedding distributions (exactly the case ADR-084's "Open questions" flagged
+//! for skewed spectrogram embeddings).
+//!
+//! # Why a Fast Hadamard Transform, not a dense d×d matrix
+//!
+//! A full dense orthogonal matrix `R ∈ ℝ^{d×d}` is **O(d²) memory and O(d²)
+//! time per vector**. ADR-084's wire format already provisions for embeddings
+//! up to `u16::MAX = 65,535` dimensions; a dense rotation there is ~4.3 G
+//! floats (17 GiB) — completely infeasible on the cluster-Pi / edge targets
+//! this sketch is built for.
+//!
+//! Instead we use the **randomized Hadamard transform** (the "HD" construction,
+//! a.k.a. a structured Johnson–Lindenstrauss / fast-JL rotation):
+//!
+//! ```text
+//!     R · x  =  H · D · x
+//! ```
+//!
+//! where `D` is a diagonal matrix of random ±1 sign flips and `H` is the
+//! (normalized) Walsh–Hadamard matrix applied via the **Fast Hadamard
+//! Transform (FHT)**. The FHT is `O(d log d)` time and `O(1)` extra memory
+//! (in-place butterfly); `D` is `O(d)` memory (one sign per dimension, packed).
+//! `H` and `D` are each orthogonal, so `R = H·D` is orthogonal and therefore
+//! **norm-preserving** — a hard requirement for a rotation that must not distort
+//! relative distances. This is the same fast-orthogonal trick used by Fast-JL,
+//! Structured Orthogonal Random Features, and the RaBitQ reference rotation.
+//!
+//! # Determinism (index-time == query-time)
+//!
+//! The rotation **must** be identical when the bank is built and when it is
+//! queried, or the two sign-quantizations live in different rotated frames and
+//! hamming distance becomes meaningless. We therefore derive the ±1 sign flips
+//! deterministically from a stored `u64` seed via a SplitMix64 PRNG — **never**
+//! an unseeded / OS RNG. Two [`Rotation`]s built from the same `(seed, dim)`
+//! produce bit-identical output for the same input (pinned by
+//! `rotation_is_deterministic_for_seed`).
+//!
+//! # Power-of-two padding
+//!
+//! The FHT is defined on lengths that are powers of two. For a `d` that is not
+//! a power of two we pad the (sign-flipped) input with zeros up to the next
+//! power of two `m = next_pow2(d)`, run the length-`m` FHT, and then **read back
+//! the first `d` coordinates**. Zero-padding + orthogonal `H` keeps the
+//! transform norm-preserving on the padded vector; we sign-quantize the first
+//! `d` rotated coordinates so the sketch dimension is unchanged from Pass 1
+//! (API-compatible: same `embedding_dim`, same packed-byte length, same
+//! `SketchBank` schema).

+//! # Why this module exists (ADR-155 Milestone-1, §8 backlog resolution)
+//!
+//! The full [`crate::metrics`] module is gated behind `tch-backend` (libtorch
+//! FFI) because it also hosts the trainer accumulators, min-cut matchers, and
+//! ndarray/petgraph machinery. But the *metric definition itself*
+//! ([`pck_canonical`], [`oks_canonical`], [`canonical_torso_size`]) depends only
+//! on `ndarray` — no tch. Hoisting those four functions here makes the canonical
+//! definition reachable from the workspace test gate
+//! (`cargo test --no-default-features`) so the integration test
+//! (`tests/test_metrics.rs`) can validate the **production** function against
+//! hand-computed fixtures, instead of testing an independent reimplementation
+//! that could be wrong the same way (the §8 "reference kernels" finding).
+//!
+//! [`crate::metrics`] re-exports every item here, so all existing call sites and
+//! the tch-gated trainer path are unchanged: there is still exactly **one**
+//! implementation of each metric, now in one *un-gated* place.

+//! # CANONICAL METRIC (the only definitions valid for a *reported* number)
+//!
+//! - [`pck_canonical`] — **PCK\@k, torso-normalized.** A keypoint `j` is correct
+//!   iff `‖pred_j − gt_j‖₂ ≤ k · torso`, where
+//!   `torso = ‖left_hip(11) − right_hip(12)‖₂` in the keypoint coordinate space,
+//!   with a bounding-box-diagonal fallback when the hips are not both visible.
+//!   **Zero visible joints ⇒ `(0, 0, 0.0)`** — no evidence scores 0, never 1.
+//! - [`oks_canonical`] — **COCO OKS** with `s = sqrt(area)` derived from the GT
+//!   pose extent (never a fixed `1.0`); a degenerate pose returns 0.0.
