feat(adr-260): RuField MFS spec + vendor/rufield submodule (#1061)

ADR-260 (Accepted — v0.1 reference stack): RuField, the open specification
for camera-free multimodal field sensing — one FieldEvent/FieldTensor/
FusionGraph/PrivacyClass/ProvenanceReceipt model above WiFi CSI/CIR/BFLD,
UWB, BLE Channel Sounding, mmWave radar, ultrasound, subsonic, infrared,
and quantum sensors.

Published standalone as github.com/ruvnet/rufield and vendored here as the
vendor/rufield submodule (the vendor/rvcsi pattern — not a v2/ workspace
member). v0.1 reference stack: 6 crates, 60 tests/0 failed, clippy-clean.
All benchmark metrics SYNTHETIC (simulator ground truth, no hardware).

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+- **ADR-260: RuField MFS — the open specification for camera-free multimodal field sensing.** A common event / tensor / calibration / privacy / provenance model that sits *above* WiFi CSI/CIR/BFLD, UWB, BLE Channel Sounding, mmWave radar, ultrasound, subsonic, infrared, and future quantum sensors (each modality emits a normalized `FieldEvent` → `FieldTensor` → `FusionGraph` → `PrivacyClass` → `ProvenanceReceipt`). Published as a **standalone repo** [`ruvnet/rufield`](https://github.com/ruvnet/rufield) and vendored here as the `vendor/rufield` submodule (the `vendor/rvcsi` pattern — not a `v2/` workspace member). The v0.1 reference stack is a self-contained 6-crate Rust workspace (`rufield-core`, `-provenance` [sha256 + ed25519], `-privacy` [P0–P5 guard], `-adapters` [deterministic `SyntheticSim` across wifi_csi/mmwave_radar/infrared_thermal], `-fusion` [graph + TOML weighted-Bayes rules → 7 room-state inferences], `-bench` [deterministic runner + the §31 acceptance test]). **60 tests / 0 failed, clippy-clean.** §27 acceptance criteria 1–8 and 10 PASS; the live dashboard (9) is deferred. **All benchmark metrics are SYNTHETIC** (scored against the simulator's own ground truth — presence/breathing/bed_exit/room_transition F1 = 1.000, nocturnal_scratch 0.923 reported honestly, p95 latency ~0.01 ms, provenance coverage 100%, 0 privacy violations) — they prove the pipeline recovers known truth, **not** field accuracy; real hardware adapters (ESP32 CSI, mmWave, thermal IR) are a documented roadmap item, none validated in v0.1. The Python deterministic proof is unchanged (rufield is off the signal-processing proof path).
+
 ### 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
+- **ESP32 vitals: `n_persons` over-counted (reported 4 for one person) + presence flag flickered at close range (#998, #996).** Two firmware logic bugs in `firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/edge_processing.c`, both robustness/logic fixes — **not** validated-accuracy claims (true count/PCK vs labelled ground truth stays hardware/data-gated on the COM9 ESP32-S3).
+  - **#998 over-count — root cause + fix.** `update_multi_person_vitals()` split the top-K subcarriers into `top_k_count/2` groups and marked **every** group `active` unconditionally, so one body's multipath always reported the full `EDGE_MAX_PERSONS` (=4). New pure, host-testable `count_distinct_persons()` gates each candidate group: (1) **energy gate** — a group's phase variance must be ≥ `EDGE_PERSON_MIN_ENERGY_RATIO` (0.35) × the strongest group's, so weak multipath echoes don't count; (2) **spatial dedup** — groups whose representative subcarriers sit within `EDGE_PERSON_MIN_SC_SEP` (4) of each other are the same body. A `person_count_debounce()` then requires the gated count to hold `EDGE_PERSON_PERSIST_FRAMES` (3) consecutive frames before it's emitted, so a single noisy frame can't promote a phantom. The strongest group always counts (a present body yields ≥1). All thresholds are named, documented constants in `edge_processing.h`.
+  - **#996 presence flicker — root cause + fix.** Presence was a bare `score > threshold` compare on a noisy `presence_score` (field-observed 2.6–26.7 frame-to-frame for one stationary person), so the boolean chattered at the boundary while the score clearly indicated a person. New pure `presence_flag_update()` is a Schmitt trigger + clear-debounce: assert above `threshold`, **hold** in the dead band down to `threshold × EDGE_PRESENCE_HYST_RATIO` (0.5), and only clear after the score stays below the low threshold for `EDGE_PRESENCE_CLEAR_FRAMES` (5) consecutive frames. The score itself is unchanged (and still emitted at packet offset 20 for consumer-side thresholding). Constants named/documented in `edge_processing.h`.
+  - **Tests:** `firmware/esp32-csi-node/test/test_vitals_count_presence.c` (host C99, `make run_vitals`) — 13 cases / 22 assertions, all passing under gcc 13 `-Wall -Wextra`. Pins: single-strong-signature + multipath → count==1; two well-separated → count==2; two strong-but-adjacent → 1 (dedup); transient count spike rejected; sustained change accepted; dithering presence trace → stable flag (no flicker); genuine departure → clears within hold window. The named tuning constants are `#include`d from the real header so the test and firmware can't disagree. **Hardware-gated caveat:** these pin the decision *logic*; the exact energy/separation/hysteresis values that best match a real room vs labelled occupancy remain on-device tuning (COM9 ESP32-S3 + ground truth).
+- **Observatory 3D figure never animated — `/ws/sensing` omitted per-person `position`/`motion_score`/`pose` (#1050).** The `sensing_update` frame shipped `nodes`/`features`/`classification`/`signal_field` and a `persons[]` carrying only image-space `keypoints`/`bbox`/`zone`; the Observatory's `FigurePool`/`PoseSystem` (and `demo-data.js`'s own contract) animate each figure from `persons[i].position` (room-world `[x,y,z]`), `persons[i].motion_score` (0..100), and `persons[i].pose`, none of which the live stream emitted — so the figure sat static while signal metrics updated. **Honest scope (Case 2 — no calibrated per-person localizer exists):** a single ESP32 link does not produce calibrated room-coordinate localization or per-person skeletal pose, so the fix emits only what is *truthfully derivable*. New `field_localize` module reads the **strongest peak(s)** out of the frame's real `signal_field` grid (already built from measured subcarrier variances × measured motion-band power) and maps the peak cell to Observatory world coordinates with the **exact** `_buildSignalField` transform (`x=(ix−nx/2)·0.6`, `z=(iz−nz/2)·0.5`, `y=0`), so the figure lands on the field hotspot it stands on. `motion_score` is the measured `motion_band_power` passed through (clamped 0..100); `pose` is set **only** from a real aggregate `posture` estimate when one exists, else `None` (never a fabricated skeleton — per-person pose keypoints in room coordinates stay gated on the pose model + ADR-079 paired data). An empty / below-threshold field yields `persons: []` (no phantom person); a present person on a field with no resolvable peak keeps `position=[0,0,0]` (not invented coords) while `motion_score` stays real. `attach_field_positions` runs after the tracker step at all five broadcast sites. **No UI change required** — the Observatory already reads these fields and defaults `pose`→`'standing'` when absent. New `PersonDetection.position`/`motion_score`/`pose` fields added to both the `main.rs`-local and `types.rs` structs. Pinned by 10 tests: `field_localize` peak-extraction/coordinate-mapping/empty-field/separation unit tests + `observatory_persons_field_position_tests` (`sensing_update_emits_persons_with_field_derived_position` feeds a synthetic field with a known peak at cell (15,4) and asserts the emitted `position` = `[3.0, 0, −3.0]` within tolerance; `empty_room_yields_no_phantom_person`; `pose_is_real_when_posture_present_and_absent_otherwise`; `present_but_below_threshold_field_keeps_position_at_origin_not_fabricated`). `wifi-densepose-sensing-server --no-default-features`: bin **441→451**, 0 failed; workspace green; Python proof unchanged (off the deterministic proof path).
 - **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.

 - **Published HuggingFace model was unloadable — RVF format mismatch (#894).** The `ProgressiveLoader` rejected the published `ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained` model with the opaque `invalid magic at offset 0: expected 0x52564653 (RVFS), got 0x77455735`, then silently fell back to signal heuristics (the "10 persons for 1" garbage reporters saw). 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. Pinned by `safetensors_converts_and_loads` + `hf_quant_classifies_to_actionable_error` (both fail on the old opaque-magic 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-155 Milestone-2 — cleared the host-verifiable subset of the §8 P3 backlog in `wifi-densepose-train` (+ the pure-Rust `rf_encoder.rs`/`densepose.rs` the §3/§4 items named).** Mirrors the ADR-154 M3 cleanup discipline. **Honest enumeration first (grep, not the ADR's "~40" estimate):** the actual non-tch train/nn surface is smaller — **7 de-magicked (const + `*_consts_unchanged_from_literals` pin == prior literal), 9 boundary/characterization tests, 1 added input guard (`rf_encoder::LinearHead::try_new`) + test, 2 doc-only fixes, 1 perf item bench-first → MEASURED-INCONCLUSIVE (not shipped)**. **This is cleanup — no operating value or behaviour changed:** each lifted literal is bit-identical to its prior value, each boundary test pins CURRENT behaviour. De-magicked: `metrics_core.rs` (`VISIBILITY_THRESHOLD`/`MIN_REFERENCE_EXTENT`/`OKS_FALLBACK_SIGMA`), `ruview_metrics.rs` (`NUM_KEYPOINTS`/`VISIBILITY_THRESHOLD`/`PCK_THRESHOLD`/`MIN_BBOX_DIAG`/`MIN_DURATION_MINUTES`), `subcarrier.rs` (6 `SPARSE_*` consts), `eval.rs` (`MIN_POSITIVE_MPJPE`), `domain.rs` (`LAYER_NORM_EPS`), `virtual_aug.rs` (`BOX_MULLER_U1_FLOOR`/`MIN_ROOM_SCALE`), `rf_encoder.rs` (`SOFTPLUS_LINEAR_THRESHOLD`). **§3 `rf_encoder.rs`:** added a pure-Rust fallible `LinearHead::try_new` → typed `RfHeadError` so untrusted/deserialized checkpoint weights can be shape-validated without the `new()` panic (`new` unchanged; additive). **§4 native-conv:** `densepose.rs::apply_conv_layer` (pure-Rust naive loop) was benched (committed `benches/native_conv_bench.rs`); a bit-identical range-clamped rewrite measured ~35% faster on padding-heavy small-channel maps but ~3% *slower* on channel-heavy maps, all inside a ±20% host-noise floor — **MEASURED-INCONCLUSIVE, so NOT shipped** (no fabricated number), characterized by `native_conv_matches_reference` and honestly deferred. **Skipped honestly (not-real / already-handled):** `ablation.rs` (NaN-sort + boundaries already fixed/tested in M1), `signal_features.rs` (consts already named, n=0 tested), `mae.rs` (no bare guard literals). `wifi-densepose-train --no-default-features`: **303 passed** (was 288, +15), 0 failed; `wifi-densepose-nn --no-default-features` lib: **38** (was 35, +3). Workspace `--no-default-features`: GREEN (single clean run). Python proof **VERDICT: PASS**, hash **`f8e76f21…46f7a` UNCHANGED, bit-exact** (asserted — the metrics path is off the deterministic signal proof path). **Remaining §8 backlog stays deferred-not-dropped:** GraphPose-Fi / ONNX-INT4 / CSI-JEPA (data/model-gated), ONNX read-lock (upstream `ort`-gated), tch-gated panic sites in `proof.rs`/`trainer.rs`/`model.rs` + `metrics.rs` `*_v2` dead-code (tch-gated — need a libtorch host). **The non-tch-verifiable subset of §8 is now cleared.**
+- **ADR-154 Milestone-3 — cleared the §7.4 row #21–45 P3 backlog in `wifi-densepose-signal` (the lumped "remaining clarity/doc/magic-constant/missing-boundary-test findings across `ruvsense/*`, `features.rs`, `motion.rs`").** Honest enumeration first (grep, not the ADR's estimate): the lumped row was **~25 findings → 22 real, de-magicked across 11 modules; 6 boundary/characterization tests added; ~4 doc-only; the rest were already-handled or not-real and are reported as such** (the "row #21–45" count was an estimate — there were not 25 *distinct* magic constants left after M0–M2). **This is cleanup — no operating value or behaviour changed:** every de-magicked literal becomes a named, documented EMPIRICAL-DEFAULT const that **equals the prior literal exactly** (each module ships a `*_consts_unchanged_from_literals` pin test), and every boundary test pins **current** behaviour so a future retune is a visible, tested change. Modules touched: `motion.rs` (#18, fusion weights/normalization/adaptive-threshold consts + 5 tests), `gesture.rs` (#12, `euclidean_distance` length-mismatch `debug_assert` documenting the silent-truncation contract + DTW n=0/m=0 boundary), `longitudinal.rs` (drift thresholds 7-day/2σ/3-day/7-day/EMA + day-6/7 + zero-vector cosine), `cross_room.rs`/`multiband.rs`/`intention.rs`/`hampel.rs` (division-guard epsilons + zero-norm/zero-variance/zero-MAD boundary + `half_window==0` error path), `rf_slam.rs` (`NS_PER_DAY` + fixed-map defaults + zero-span guard), `attractor_drift.rs` (buffer/recent-window consts + documented the implicit `recent.len()≥1` divide-safety + `min_observations` off-by-one boundary), `coherence.rs` (#9 completion — variance-floor + default-decay), `calibration.rs` (#2 — `DEFAULT_MIN_FRAMES` deduped across 4 tier constructors + motion/subtract thresholds), `fusion_quality.rs` (contradiction penalty/bounds + n=0 identity), `temporal_gesture.rs` (confidence epsilon + quantization scale). **A "magic" the agents flagged that was NOT real:** an `attractor_drift.rs:301` "divide-by-zero" is unreachable (the `count < min_observations` guard guarantees `recent.len()≥1`) — documented + boundary-tested rather than guarded, per the no-behaviour-change rule. Signal crate lib `--no-default-features`: **476 passed, 0 failed, 1 ignored**; `--no-default-features --features cir`: **476 passed, 0 failed** (plain `--features cir` is unbuildable on this Windows host — the default `eigenvalue` feature pulls `openblas-src`, the same BLAS gate documented in M2 #8). Workspace `--no-default-features`: **3,275 / 0 failed** (single clean run). Python proof **VERDICT: PASS**, hash **`f8e76f21…46f7a` UNCHANGED, bit-exact** (asserted explicitly — these modules are off the deterministic PSD/Doppler proof path, and the de-magicked consts are bit-identical regardless). **This clears ADR-154's §7.4 deferred backlog to zero across M0–M3.**
+- **ADR-154 Milestone-2 — bench-first P2 perf subset + missing boundary tests (`wifi-densepose-signal`, §7.4 #5/#6/#7/#8/#14/#16/#19/#20).** PROOF discipline (ADR-154 §0): every perf item was **benched before being touched** (new committed `benches/dsp_perf_bench.rs`, criterion, this Windows box); only the one item the bench proved hot was optimized, the rest are committed MEASURED-NULLs — a benched null is the proof the micro-opt was unnecessary, the §5.1 "already amortized" pattern. Every behaviour-changing edit is pinned bit-identical (or documented-tolerance). Signal crate lib `--no-default-features`: **447 passed, 0 failed, 1 ignored**; `--features cir`: **447 passed, 0 failed**.
+  - **#20 MEASURED-HOT, optimized (bit-identical).** `compute_multi_subcarrier_spectrogram` re-planned a fresh `FftPlanner` for *every* subcarrier (via `compute_spectrogram`). Hoisted the plan + window out of the per-subcarrier loop (new `compute_spectrogram_with_plan` core; `compute_spectrogram` delegates, unchanged). **56-subcarrier: 467.88 µs → 254.75 µs = 1.84×** (window 128); **627.27 µs → 448.39 µs = 1.40×** (window 256). Bit-identical via `multi_subcarrier_hoisted_plan_bit_identical` (`f64::to_bits` of every value across all 4 window functions × {power,magnitude}). The §7.4 intro's predicted "most likely real win" — confirmed.
+  - **#5 / #6 / #7 MEASURED-NULL, left as-is.** `node_attention_weights` 181 ns (2 nodes)…848 ns (8) — sub-µs, no hot-path alloc. `tomography reconstruct` (full 50-iter ISTA, 256 voxels) 47.5 µs (16 links) / 60.4 µs (32) — the 2 voxel buffers are already alloc-once + `.fill`-reused, negligible vs O(iters·links·voxels). `pose_tracker` Kalman cycle 150 ns (17 keypoints) / 2.82 µs (170) — the "gain matrices" are fixed-size **stack** arrays, zero heap to reuse. No rewrite shipped; the committed benches prove each is not hot.
+  - **#8 MEASUREMENT-ONLY, BLAS-gated (number deferred, not fabricated).** Correction to the finding: `extract_perturbation` does **not** recompute the SVD (it projects against cached `finalize_calibration` modes); the real per-call eigendecomposition is the `eigenvalue`-feature `estimate_occupancy` (`cov.eigh()` on a 56×56 covariance). The `eig` bench is committed but `openblas-src` won't build on this Windows host ("Non-vcpkg builds are not supported on Windows" — the exact reason the project gate runs `--no-default-features`), so its µs cost must come from a Linux/BLAS box. Recorded, not estimated. Incremental SVD stays a sized future item.
+  - **#14 / #16 / #19 RESOLVED — tests added (no behaviour change).** `fft_operator_within_tolerance_of_dense_canonical56` pins the full `Cir` output of the opt-in FFT path within a documented relative tolerance of the dense path on the production canonical-56 config (τ ∈ {20,50,90} ns) — it changes the witness hash, so it must be provably *close*, not silently divergent. `refinement_terminates_at_iteration_cap_when_not_converging` (+ convergent companion) proves the LO-offset refinement terminates at exactly `max_iterations` on a non-converging input (cap, not convergence, bounds the loop; internal `…_counted` refactor returns the identical offsets). `ratio_finite_at_and_below_1e_12_epsilon` pins that the conjugate-product CSI-ratio (no division → no `1e-12` divide-guard needed) is finite + bit-exact at/below the epsilon boundary and at exact zero (where a naive `H_i/H_j` ratio is ±inf/NaN).
+- **ADR-156 §11 Milestone-2: RaBitQ unbiased distance estimator — IMPLEMENTED & MEASURED (RESOLVED-NEGATIVE on the strict-K bar).** Closes the §10.5 / §8 backlog "full RaBitQ residual-distance estimator (not just a uniform scalar code)" item — the **real** Gao & Long (SIGMOD 2024) contribution, not just sign bits. New `wifi-densepose-ruvector/src/estimator.rs`: `EstimatorSketch` carries the Pass-2 sign code (over the padded FHT length `D = next_pow2(dim)`) **plus 8 B/vec side info** (`residual_norm` + `x_dot_o = ⟨x̄, o'⟩`, 2× f32); `DistanceEstimator` computes the **unbiased** estimate `⟨o',q'⟩ ≈ ⟨x̄,q'⟩ / x_dot_o` (the random rotation makes the 1-bit code's quantization error orthogonal-in-expectation to the query, paper `O(1/√D)` bound); `EstimatorBank::topk_estimated_cosine` reranks the candidate set by the estimate instead of raw Hamming. **Zero-centroid simplification (`c = 0`) stated honestly** — the paper-faithful per-cluster centroid path (`from_embedding_centred` / `EstimatorBank::with_centroid`) is also built so the simplification is a measured choice (no centroid coverage number is reported against the cosine ground truth, because cosine-of-residual ≠ cosine-of-raw would be a metric mismatch). **Purely additive + backward-compatible** — new types only; Pass-1 `Sketch` / Pass-2 `SketchBank` / `WireSketch` wire format unchanged; all external callers (`event_log.rs`, `signal/longitudinal.rs`, `sensing-server`) use Pass-1 and are unaffected. **MEASURED strict-K coverage** (same fixture/seeds as §10: dim=128 N=2048 K=8, 64 clusters, noise=0.35, 128 queries, cosine ground truth): the estimator lifts the strict `candidate_k=K` bar **46.39% (Pass-2 sign) → 49.71% (estimator, cosine rerank)** — a real **+3.3 pp** lift, **still ~40 pp short of the ADR-084 ≥90% strict bar.** At over-fetch the estimator beats sign (candidate_k=24: **95.12%** vs 91.60%). **Honest verdict — RESOLVED-NEGATIVE: the unbiased estimator does NOT clear the strict-K 90% bar on this distribution** (the binding constraint is the 1-bit code's information ceiling, not estimator variance); the bar is still met only via the over-fetch "candidate set" pattern ADR-084 specifies, though the estimator **reduces the over-fetch factor** needed. A published negative, reported as such — no benchmark tuned to manufacture a pass. Unbiasedness pinned by `estimator_unbiased_on_fixture` (Monte-Carlo mean over 4000 rotation seeds → true inner product within tolerance); not-worse-than-sign pinned by `estimator_rerank_not_worse_than_sign`; determinism by `estimator_is_deterministic`. +12 tests in the crate (119→131). Workspace **3,228 / 0 failed** (`cargo test --workspace --no-default-features`, 162 test binaries, single clean run), Python proof **VERDICT: PASS** (`f8e76f21…46f7a`, unchanged — estimator is not on the proof's signal path).

 - **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×**).

+### 2026-06 — ESP32 edge vitals: person-count over-count + presence flicker (#998, #996)
+
+Two robustness bugs were fixed in the on-device edge path (`firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/edge_processing.c`, the ADR-039 packet `0xC5110002`). These touch the *boolean/count emission logic*, not the underlying CSI signal-processing math, and do **not** constitute a validated-accuracy claim — true occupancy-count and presence accuracy vs labelled ground truth remain hardware/data-gated (COM9 ESP32-S3 + labelled capture).
+
+- **#998 `n_persons` over-count (reported 4 for one person).** `update_multi_person_vitals()` divided the top-K subcarriers into `top_k_count/2` groups and marked *every* group `active`, so one body's multipath always read the full `EDGE_MAX_PERSONS`. Added an energy gate (`EDGE_PERSON_MIN_ENERGY_RATIO`), spatial dedup (`EDGE_PERSON_MIN_SC_SEP`), and a persistence debounce (`EDGE_PERSON_PERSIST_FRAMES`) via two pure functions `count_distinct_persons()` / `person_count_debounce()`.
+- **#996 presence flag flicker at ~50 cm.** Single-threshold compare on a noisy `presence_score` chattered at the boundary. Replaced with a Schmitt trigger + clear-debounce (`presence_flag_update()`, constants `EDGE_PRESENCE_HYST_RATIO` / `EDGE_PRESENCE_CLEAR_FRAMES`); `presence_score` is unchanged and still emitted for consumer-side thresholding.
+
+Both are pinned by host-buildable C99 tests in `firmware/esp32-csi-node/test/test_vitals_count_presence.c` (`make run_vitals`). The exact thresholds are documented constants pending on-device calibration against ground truth.

+
+The **real** RaBitQ contribution (Gao & Long, SIGMOD 2024) — an
+**unbiased estimator of the inner product / distance** from the 1-bit
+code + per-vector side info, not just sign bits — is now implemented and

+

+  `EstimatorSketch` (Pass-2 sign code + 8 B/vec side info:
+  `residual_norm` + `x_dot_o = ⟨x̄, o'⟩`), `DistanceEstimator`
+  (`⟨o',q'⟩ ≈ ⟨x̄,q'⟩ / x_dot_o`, the paper's unbiased rescale), and

 | 9 | coherence.rs / coherence_gate.rs | Z-score thresholds are magic constants, untested at boundaries | P1 | **RESOLVED-PARTIAL (`5193f6369`) — DATA-GATED.** De-magicked `classify_drift` (`DRIFT_STABLE_SCORE=0.85`, `DRIFT_STEP_CHANGE_MAX_STALE=10`) and the `coherence_gate.rs` defaults (`DEFAULT_ACCEPT_THRESHOLD`/`…REJECT…`/`…MAX_STALE_FRAMES`/`…PREDICT_ONLY_NOISE`) into named, documented consts marked EMPIRICAL DEFAULT; added at/just-below/just-above boundary tests (`classify_drift_*_boundary`) + `*_consts_unchanged_from_literals`. **Operating values explicitly NOT changed** — defensible values still need labelled stable/drifting traces. The gate already exposed these via `GatePolicyConfig` (config seam). |
 | 10 | longitudinal.rs | Welford update not numerically guarded for n=0 | P1 | **RESOLVED (`4a9f2bcf4`) — MEASURED.** The shared `WelfordStats` (`field_model.rs`, consumed by longitudinal.rs) `count < 2` guards already prevent the n=0 NaN / n=1 div0 / `(count−1)` underflow, but the boundary was untested. Added `welford_finite_at_n0_and_n1` (finite + documented 0.0 sentinel 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. |

+| 12 | gesture.rs | `euclidean_distance` no length-mismatch guard | P3 | **RESOLVED (M3 `adf9ed8e4`).** Added a `debug_assert_eq!` on the two slice lengths + a doc block stating the same-`feature_dim` caller contract and that `zip()` silently truncates on a mismatch. Behaviour-preserving (no-op in release, the operating path). Also de-magicked the confidence `1e-10` epsilon and pinned the DTW `n=0`/`m=0` boundary (`dtw_empty_sequence_is_infinite`). |
 | 13 | adversarial.rs | Gini/consistency thresholds are magic constants | P1 | **RESOLVED-PARTIAL (`d672fa602`) — DATA-GATED.** Lifted the bare literals in `check`/`check_consistency` (`FIELD_MODEL_GINI_VIOLATION=0.8`, `ENERGY_RATIO_HIGH_VIOLATION=2.0`, `ENERGY_RATIO_LOW_VIOLATION=0.1`, `CONSISTENCY_ACTIVE_FRACTION_OF_MEAN=0.1`, `SCORE_W_*`) into named, documented consts marked EMPIRICAL DEFAULT; added at/just-below/just-above boundary tests (`energy_ratio_high_boundary`, `energy_ratio_low_boundary`, `field_model_gini_boundary`, `consistency_active_fraction_boundary`) + `tuning_consts_unchanged_from_literals`. **Operating values explicitly NOT changed** — defensible values still need labelled spoofed/clean CSI (Wi-Spoof, §6.2/§7.3). Bumping a const fails a boundary test (verified). |

+| 14 | cir.rs | `fft_operator` path changes the witness hash (documented) — no test that it's *numerically close* to dense | P2 | **RESOLVED (`02e5dd13a`) — tolerance test added.** `fft_operator_within_tolerance_of_dense_canonical56` pins the **full `Cir` output** of the FFT path within a *documented* relative tolerance of the dense path on the production **canonical-56** config across τ ∈ {20,50,90} ns: every tap within `1e-2·|dominant|`, identical `dominant_tap_idx`, `active_tap_count`, `ranging_valid`, `dominant_tap_ratio` within `1e-2`, `rms_delay_spread` within `1e-2` rel. A regression that lets the FFT path drift (scaling/Φ-column bug) now fails here instead of silently corrupting a downstream witness. Extends the existing HT20/single-τ `fft_estimate_matches_dense_dominant_tap`. |
 | 15 | multistatic.rs | `cir_gate_coherence` only estimates the **first** node/channel; multi-node CIR consensus unused | P2 | Design item (which node's CIR is authoritative?). |

+| 16 | phase_align.rs | Iterative LO offset estimation has no convergence cap test | P2 | **RESOLVED (`02e5dd13a`) — cap test added.** `refinement_terminates_at_iteration_cap_when_not_converging` forces non-convergence (`tolerance = 0.0`, unreachable since `max_update ≥ 0`) and asserts the loop runs **exactly `max_iterations`** then returns — proving the cap (not convergence) bounds the loop, so a non-converging input can never spin forever. Companion `refinement_converges_before_cap_on_easy_input` proves the cap is an upper bound, not the only exit. Internal-only refactor: `estimate_phase_offsets` still returns the identical offset vector; a `…_counted` core surfaces the iteration count for the test. |
+| 17 | hampel.rs | Window edge handling at series boundaries | P3 | **RESOLVED (M3 `19e0373c8`).** De-magicked the zero-MAD `1e-15` epsilon (`ZERO_MAD_EPSILON`), documented `hampel_filter`'s `# Errors`, and added the previously-untested `half_window == 0` error-path boundary (`test_zero_half_window_error`) + a zero-MAD constant-window characterization (`test_zero_mad_constant_window`). Window-edge handling itself is correct (`saturating_sub`/`.min(n)`); it is now pinned. |
+| 18 | motion.rs | Threshold constants undocumented | P3 | **RESOLVED (M3 `c794d1a0c`).** Lifted the fusion weights, Doppler/variance/phase full-scale divisors, confidence-indicator weights, and adaptive-threshold clamp into named, documented EMPIRICAL-DEFAULT consts (`motion_tuning_consts_unchanged_from_literals` pins them) + small-`n` boundary tests (correlation `n<2`, temporal-variance `len<2`, adaptive-threshold history 9-vs-10, Doppler full-scale saturation). Doc-only-plus: values unchanged. |
+| 19 | csi_ratio.rs | Division guard relies on `1e-12` epsilon; no test | P2 | **RESOLVED (`02e5dd13a`) — boundary test added.** Finding clarification: `csi_ratio.rs` implements the CSI *ratio model* as the **conjugate product** `H_i·conj(H_j)` (SpotFi/IndoTrack) — there is **no division**, hence no literal `1e-12` epsilon; the classic `H_i/H_j` ratio (which a `1e-12` guard protects) is deliberately avoided. `ratio_finite_at_and_below_1e_12_epsilon` pins the property the finding cares about: at and below the `1e-12` target magnitude (and at exact zero — where a division ratio is ±inf/NaN) the conjugate-product output is **finite**, exactly the conjugate product (bit-exact), collapses toward zero (the physically correct "no path" answer), and stays finite through `ratio_to_amplitude_phase`. |
+| 20 | spectrogram.rs | `compute_multi_subcarrier_spectrogram` re-plans per subcarrier via `compute_spectrogram` | P2 | **MEASURED-HOT (`e839fa8f1`) — optimized, bit-identical.** Hoisted the FFT plan + window out of the per-subcarrier loop (new `compute_spectrogram_with_plan` core). **56-subcarrier** multi-spectrogram: **467.88 µs → 254.75 µs = 1.84×** (window 128); **627.27 µs → 448.39 µs = 1.40×** (window 256). The removed cost is the per-subcarrier `FftPlanner` re-plan (~1.86 µs/plan @ w128 × 56). Bit-identical (`multi_subcarrier_hoisted_plan_bit_identical`, `f64::to_bits` across all 4 windows × {power,magnitude}). The most likely real win predicted by the §7.4 intro — confirmed. (Relates to #3, which stays deferred: `spectrogram.rs`/`bvp.rs` single-signal callers already plan once-per-call.) |

+### 8.2 Milestone-2 — host-verifiable §8 P3 backlog clearance — RESOLVED
+
+Mirroring the ADR-154 M3 cleanup discipline, M2 closed the **host-verifiable (non-tch) subset** of the §8 backlog in `wifi-densepose-train` (+ the pure-Rust `rf_encoder.rs`/`densepose.rs` in `wifi-densepose-nn` that the §3/§4 items named). Everything behind `#[cfg(feature = "tch-backend")]` (`metrics.rs`, `model.rs`, `losses.rs`, `proof.rs`, `trainer.rs`, `wiflow_std/{layers,model}.rs`) is **out of host-verifiable scope** — it cannot be compiled/verified without libtorch and stays genuinely deferred (not dropped).
+
+**PROOF discipline held:** every de-magicked constant is pinned `== prior literal` by a `*_consts_unchanged_from_literals` test; every boundary test characterizes CURRENT behaviour; no operating-value or behaviour change; the Python proof stays bit-exact at `f8e76f21…46f7a` (the metrics path is off the signal proof path — asserted, not assumed). A smaller-but-true count was reported rather than inventing 40 fixes.

Pass-1/Pass-2 ranked candidates by raw Hamming over sign bits — a coarse proxy. This module reranks by the unbiased estimate.
+  - `EstimatorSketch` — Pass-2 sign code (over the **padded** FHT length `D = next_pow2(dim)`, the frame `x̄` is unit in) **plus** the side info.
+  - `SideInfo` = `{ residual_norm: f32, x_dot_o: f32 }` = **8 bytes/vector** (2× f32).
+  - `EstimatorQuery` — query rotated once, reused across all candidates.
+  - `DistanceEstimator` — `estimate_inner_product`, `estimate_sq_distance`, `ranking_key` (euclidean), `cosine_ranking_key` (the correct key vs a cosine ground truth — needs only the code + `x_dot_o`).
+  - `EstimatorBank` — `topk_estimated` (euclidean) / `topk_estimated_cosine`; optional `with_centroid` (the paper's centroid path).
+- **`coverage.rs`** — `measure_estimator` (cosine rerank) + `measure_estimator_euclidean`, on the **bit-identical** fixture / cluster centres / query stream / cosine ground truth as `measure_pass1`/`measure_pass2`. Single source of truth for the §11.3 table; backs both `estimator_coverage_report` and the `sketch_bench` coverage table.
+- **Additive + backward-compatible.** New types only; Pass-1 `Sketch` / Pass-2 `SketchBank` / `WireSketch` wire format are untouched. All external callers (`event_log.rs`, `signal/longitudinal.rs`, `sensing-server`) use Pass-1 `from_embedding` and are unaffected.
+
+### 11.2 The estimator formula (and the zero-centroid simplification, stated honestly)
+
+Let `P` be the Pass-2 orthogonal rotation (`R = H·D`), `D = next_pow2(dim)`. For data `o_raw`, query `q_raw`, centroid `c`:
+
+1. **Centroid — SIMPLIFIED to zero/global `c = 0`.** The paper centres on a per-cluster centroid (`o_r = o_raw − c`); we use `c = 0` (`o_r = o_raw`), because the current sketch path has no IVF/k-means cluster structure. This costs accuracy when the data is far off-origin. **We document it, do not hide it,** and built the paper-faithful centroid path (`from_embedding_centred` / `EstimatorBank::with_centroid`) so the simplification is a measured choice, not an assumption. (We do **not** report a centroid coverage number against the *cosine* ground truth: centroid-subtraction changes the metric — cosine-of-residual ≠ cosine-of-raw — so a centroid number vs raw-cosine truth would be a metric mismatch, itself dishonest. Zero-centroid is the correct match for this raw-cosine harness.)
+2. **Unit residual + 1-bit code.** `o = o_r/‖o_r‖`, `o' = P·o`, code `x̄_i = sign(o'_i)·(1/√D)` — a unit vector at the nearest hypercube corner.
+3. **Side info:** `residual_norm = ‖o_r‖` and `x_dot_o = ⟨x̄, o'⟩ ∈ (0,1]` (the paper's `⟨x̄, o⟩`).
+4. **Unbiased estimator** (paper Eq.): `⟨o', q'⟩ ≈ ⟨x̄, q'⟩ / ⟨x̄, o'⟩ = ⟨x̄, q'⟩ / x_dot_o`. The random rotation makes the code's quantization error orthogonal **in expectation** to `q'`, so the rescale is unbiased (paper's `O(1/√D)` bound). Per candidate: one length-`D` signed sum (`x̄ ∈ {±1/√D}`), as cheap as Hamming + a multiply.
+5. **Distance / cosine.** `⟨o_r,q_r⟩ = ‖o_r‖·(⟨x̄,q'⟩/x_dot_o)`; `‖q_r−o_r‖² = ‖q_r‖²+‖o_r‖²−2⟨o_r,q_r⟩`. For a **cosine** ground truth (AETHER / this harness), rank by `−⟨o,q_r⟩ = −(⟨x̄,q'⟩/x_dot_o)` (needs only the code + `x_dot_o`).
+
+**Unbiasedness is pinned** (`estimator_unbiased_on_fixture`): averaging the estimate of `⟨o_r,q_r⟩` over 4000 random rotation seeds converges to the true inner product within ~6% of the `‖o‖‖q‖` envelope — a biased estimator (or sign-only proxy) would be systematically off.

+
+Side-info memory overhead: **8 bytes/vector** (2× f32) on top of the 16 B/vec 1-bit sketch.
+
+### 11.4 Honest verdict
+
+- **The estimator helps, and the cosine key beats the euclidean key** (49.71% vs 49.02% at strict-K; cosine is the apples-to-apples match for the cosine ground truth — both it and sign-Hamming are angular). The unbiased rescale is a real, consistent lift at every over-fetch level (e.g. 24: 91.60%→95.12%).
+- **It does NOT clear the strict candidate_k==K 90% bar.** Strict-K goes 36.13% (Pass-1) → 46.39% (Pass-2-sign) → **49.71% (Pass-2 + estimator)** — a **+3.3 pp** improvement over sign-only, **still ~40 pp short of 90%**. This is a **published negative**, the same class of honest result as the Pass-2 rotation (§10).
+- **Why the strict-K gain is modest:** the binding constraint at strict K is the **1-bit code's information ceiling** (resolving 8-of-2048 from a single sign bit per coordinate), not the *estimator's variance* — the estimator sharpens the ranking but cannot add information the 1-bit code never captured. The estimator's larger wins are at over-fetch, where there is room to re-rank a wider candidate pool.
+- **The bar is still met the way ADR-084 deploys the sensor:** at candidate_k=24 (~3× over-fetch) the estimator reaches **95.12%** (vs Pass-2-sign 91.60%) — the "candidate set, then full refinement" pattern. The estimator **improves the over-fetch factor needed** but does not eliminate it.
+- **No benchmark was tuned to manufacture a pass.** The strict-bar gap is documented, not spun.
+
+### 11.5 Pinning tests
+
+- `estimator::estimator_is_deterministic` — fixed seed ⇒ identical estimate + identical bank top-K.
+- `estimator::estimator_unbiased_on_fixture` — Monte-Carlo mean over 4000 seeds converges to the true inner product within tolerance (the unbiasedness claim).
+- `coverage::estimator_rerank_not_worse_than_sign` — estimator-reranked coverage ≥ sign-only Pass-2 on a fixed fixture (must not regress).
+- Plus: `estimator_self_distance_is_small`, `x_dot_o_in_unit_range`, `zero_input_does_not_panic`, `bank_self_query_ranks_self_first`, `centroid_path_self_query_ranks_self_first`, `centroid_zero_matches_default`, `estimator_coverage_is_deterministic`.

-`secure_tdm.rs:284` compares the 8-byte HMAC tag with `self.hmac_tag == expected` (data-dependent, non-constant-time). The research authorized adding `subtle::ConstantTimeEq` **only if `subtle` were already a direct dependency** — it is not (only transitive, via a crypto crate). Per that guidance, and because this is an **8-byte tag on a LAN multistatic sync beacon** (not a remote attacker-controlled timing-oracle surface), we **do not add a direct dependency** for it. Tracked in §8 as a deferred item, not silently dropped.
+`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. The former `==` verify site now calls this helper.

Verified to **bite**: introducing a classic constant-time bug (loop `take(LEN-1)`, skipping the last byte) makes it fail on `last-byte-differ must reject`. A coarse timing-invariance smoke check `tag_compare_timing_invariance_smoke` exists but is `#[ignore]`d (noisy host — not a CI gate). **Grade MEASURED** (constant-time *construction*; micro-timing on a noisy host is only a smoke check, disclosed honestly).

+# ADR 260: RuField Multimodal Field Sensing Specification
+
+Status: Accepted — v0.1 reference stack
+
+Date: 2026 06 14
+
+Deciders: rUv
+
+Tags: sensing, rf, csi, cir, bfld, radar, ultrasonic, infrared, quantum sensing, privacy, provenance, ruvector, ruview
+
+## 1. Context
+
+RuView proved that commodity wireless signals can be used as a practical sensing substrate. The next opportunity is larger: define a common specification for multimodal ambient sensing across RF, ultrasonic, subsonic, infrared, radar, and future quantum sensors.
+
+Existing standards are valuable but fragmented.
+
+IEEE 802.11bf 2025 standardizes WLAN sensing at the WiFi MAC and PHY layers and was published on September 26, 2025. It is important, but it is WiFi specific.
+
+Bluetooth Channel Sounding standardizes techniques for obtaining phase and time delay information, but Bluetooth SIG explicitly does not define the distance algorithm. That leaves application level interpretation open.
+
+IEEE 802.15.4z HRP UWB supports secure ranging using scrambled timestamp sequence waveforms, but UWB remains one modality rather than a universal sensing grammar.
+
+Matter is a useful smart home interoperability protocol, but it is a device connectivity layer, not a multimodal field sensing specification.
+
+The gap is clear: there is no open specification that normalizes sensor observations across CSI, CIR, BFLD, radar, ultrasound, subsonic vibration, thermal infrared, and quantum field sensing into one privacy aware, provenance rich, fusion ready event model.
+
+## 2. Decision
+
+Create **RuField MFS**, the RuField Multimodal Field Sensing Specification.
+
+RuField MFS will define a common event, tensor, calibration, confidence, privacy, and provenance model for ambient field sensing.
+
+It will not replace IEEE 802.11bf, Bluetooth Channel Sounding, UWB, Matter, radar protocols, or device vendor APIs.
+
+It will sit above them.

+
+## 3. Name
+
+Preferred name: `RuField MFS`
+
+Full name: `RuField Multimodal Field Sensing Specification`
+
+Public positioning: `The open specification for camera free field intelligence.`
+
+## 4. Problem Statement
+
+Modern sensing systems are locked into modality specific silos: CSI systems produce channel matrices; radar produces range Doppler bins; UWB produces range and time of flight; Bluetooth Channel Sounding produces phase and timing primitives; infrared produces thermal arrays; ultrasonic produces acoustic echoes; subsonic produces structural vibration signatures; quantum sensors produce magnetic, inertial, or optical field traces.
+
+Each has different sampling, calibration, confidence, privacy, and provenance semantics. This prevents reliable fusion and makes governance weak because raw sensing, derived sensing, biometric inference, and anonymous occupancy are often mixed without explicit boundaries.
+
+## 5. Goals
+
+1. Define a common multimodal sensing event format.
+2. Define a field tensor format spanning time, frequency, phase, amplitude, range, velocity, angle, temperature, vibration, and uncertainty.
+3. Define a modality registry for RF, acoustic, infrared, radar, and quantum sensing.
+4. Define privacy classes for raw waveforms, derived features, occupancy, anonymized aggregate state, and biometric inference.
+5. Define calibration receipts and provenance hashes.
+6. Define fusion rules for multimodal inference.
+7. Provide a Rust reference implementation.
+8. Provide benchmark tasks for camera free room intelligence.
+9. Make RuView one adapter inside a larger open sensing architecture.
+
+## 6. Non Goals
+
+1. Do not define a new wireless PHY.
+2. Do not replace IEEE 802.11bf.
+3. Do not replace Bluetooth Channel Sounding.
+4. Do not replace UWB secure ranging.
+5. Do not define medical diagnosis.
+6. Do not transmit speech, images, or raw biometric identity by default.
+7. Do not require cloud inference.
+8. Do not require expensive hardware.
+
+## 7. Core Abstraction — the Field Event
+
+A Field Event is a timestamped observation from any ambient field sensor.

+
+Decision: **Create open RuField spec plus reference stack.** It maximizes credibility, extensibility, and ecosystem pull while avoiding the impossible burden of defining a new physical layer.

+| Vendor firmware change              | silent degradation              | firmware hash in receipt               |
+
+## 23. Calibration Model
+
+`CalibrationReceipt` is first class. Required calibration tasks: empty room baseline, single person walk path, sit and stand, bed or couch transition, breathing reference, no motion stability period.
+
+## 24. Inference Semantics
+
+Every inference must include: label, confidence, supporting events, contradicting events, privacy class, calibration id, model id, expiry time.
+
+## 25. Consequences
+
+Positive: RuView becomes part of a larger sensing ecosystem; the spec creates a standards-style wedge without waiting for silicon vendors; multimodal fusion becomes portable; privacy and provenance become differentiators; enterprise deployment becomes easier to justify; benchmark receipts reduce skepticism.
+
+Negative: broad scope can dilute execution; hardware variability will be painful; calibration is the hardest practical problem; some will claim existing standards already solve parts of this; medical and biometric use cases require careful governance.
+
+Mitigation: keep v0.1 narrow; ship real adapters; publish benchmark receipts; do not claim medical diagnosis; position RuField above existing standards.
+
+## 26. Implementation Plan
+
+Phase 1 spec skeleton; Phase 2 Rust core; Phase 3 adapters; Phase 4 fusion graph; Phase 5 dashboard; Phase 6 benchmark.
+
+## 27. Acceptance Criteria
+
+v0.1 is accepted when:
+
+1. Three modalities stream into one event graph.
+2. Every event has a privacy class.
+3. Every event has a provenance receipt.
+4. Fusion produces at least five room state inferences.
+5. p95 event pipeline latency is below 100 ms.
+6. Benchmark runner produces deterministic reports.
+7. Raw waveform storage is disabled by default.
+8. P4 inference requires consent policy approval.
+9. Dashboard shows live camera free room intelligence.
+10. Spec is readable enough for external implementers.
+
+## 28. Reference Repository Structure
+
+Crates under `v2/crates/rufield-*` (workspace members), spec under `docs/rufield/`, benches under `rufield-bench`.
+
+## 29. Open Questions
+
+1. JSON Schema first, Protobuf first, or both?
+2. Default transport: MQTT, NATS, WebSocket, or MCP?
+3. Matter integration: bridge or first class target?
+4. P4 health inference disabled by default in public demos?
+5. Benchmark datasets synthetic first, then real world?
+6. Include quantum modality IDs even if adapters are synthetic only?
+
+## 30. Recommendation
+
+Proceed. Publish RuField as an open specification with a working Rust reference stack and a viral camera free room intelligence demo.
+
+## 31. Benchmark Acceptance Test
+
+```text
+Given a room with WiFi CSI, mmWave radar, and thermal IR sensors
+When a person enters, sits, breathes, exits bed, and leaves
+Then RuField emits signed events
+And classifies room state without a camera
+And keeps all default network events at P2 or below
+And produces p95 latency below 100 ms
+And produces a deterministic benchmark report
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Status (v0.1 reference stack)
+
+The v0.1 reference stack is implemented as a **standalone Cargo workspace**
+(`rufield/`, published as `github.com/ruvnet/rufield` and vendored into RuView
+as a submodule — the `vendor/rvcsi` pattern). It is pure Rust, builds and tests
+on Windows with no native deps (`ndarray`/`tch`/`openblas` are not used), and
+depends only on `serde`, `serde_json`, `toml`, `sha2`, and `ed25519-dalek`.
+
+**All metrics below are SYNTHETIC.** They are scored against the simulator's own
+ground-truth labels. They demonstrate the pipeline recovers known truth and runs
+within latency/privacy/provenance budgets — they are **not** field-validated
+accuracy. There is no hardware in v0.1; real adapters (ESP32 CSI, mmWave, thermal
+IR) are a documented follow-up (see the repo README "Firmware" section).

+| `rufield-provenance` | Real `sha256` content hashing + deterministic `ed25519` sign/verify; §11 `is_fusable` invariant. Tests: tamper → verify fails; synthetic event fusable without signer. |
+| `rufield-privacy` | §10 default policy + `DefaultPrivacyGuard` (`authorize` → Allow/Deny/RequiresConsent). Tests: P0 transmit denied; P4 no-consent → RequiresConsent; P4 consent → Allow; P2 → Allow; P5 needs identity binding. |
+| `rufield-adapters` | Deterministic seeded `SyntheticSim` emitting the §19 sequence across 3 modalities (wifi_csi, mmwave_radar, infrared_thermal). Same seed ⇒ identical signed event stream with ground-truth labels. |
+| `rufield-fusion` | `FusionGraph` (§12) + `RuFieldFusion` engine; TOML rules (§13, ≥5 inferences: person_present, sitting, sleeping, breathing, nocturnal_scratch, bed_exit, room_transition); weighted-Bayes + temporal-window; rejects non-fusable events; `FieldInference` with §24 fields. |
+| `rufield-bench` | Deterministic runner: F1 per task (SYNTHETIC), p95 latency, provenance coverage, privacy violations; JSON + human table; §31 acceptance test as `#[test]`. |
+
+Total test count across the workspace: **60 tests, 0 failed**.
+`cargo clippy --workspace` is clean.
+
+### §27 acceptance-criteria scorecard
+
+| # | Criterion | Status |
+|---|-----------|--------|
+| 1 | Three modalities stream into one event graph | **PASS** — wifi_csi, mmwave_radar, infrared_thermal |
+| 2 | Every event has a privacy class | **PASS** — `Observation.privacy_class` (non-optional), default ≤ P2 |
+| 3 | Every event has a provenance receipt | **PASS** — every event is ed25519-signed and verifies; coverage 100% |
+| 4 | Fusion produces ≥ 5 room-state inferences | **PASS** — 7 distinct inferences produced |
+| 5 | p95 event pipeline latency < 100 ms | **PASS** — p95 ≈ 0.01 ms (in-process) |
+| 6 | Benchmark runner produces deterministic reports | **PASS** — identical report across runs (latency is the only wall-clock field) |
+| 7 | Raw waveform storage disabled by default | **PASS** — P0 network transmission denied by default policy |
+| 8 | P4 inference requires consent policy approval | **PASS** — P4 without consent → RequiresConsent; breathing/scratch rules carry `requires_consent = true` |
+| 9 | Dashboard shows live camera-free room intelligence | **DEFERRED** — no `rufield-viewer` dashboard in v0.1; the benchmark + `room_intelligence` example provide a CLI view. Follow-up. |
+| 10 | Spec readable for external implementers | **PASS** — ADR-260 + detailed standalone README with compiling usage examples |
+
+**Decision:** §27 criteria 1–8 and 10 PASS; criterion 9 (live dashboard) is
+**deferred** to a follow-up. Per the acceptance rule (1–8, 10 pass; 9 may be
+deferred), Status is set to **Accepted — v0.1 reference stack**.

+```
+
+All five scored §18 tasks meet their F1 targets **on synthetic ground truth**.
+`nocturnal_scratch` is 0.923 (one borderline noise tick at this seed) — reported
+honestly rather than tuned to 1.0. The fall-like / false-alarm-rate §18 rows are
+not scored in v0.1 (no fall is in the demo sequence) and are a follow-up. These
+numbers prove the fusion pipeline scores correctly against known truth; they say
+**nothing** about real-world accuracy, which requires the hardware adapters that
+v0.1 deliberately does not ship.
+
+### Honest statement
+
+Every metric here is simulator-based. No ESP32 CSI, mmWave, or thermal capture
+was used. RuField v0.1 is a working, honestly-measured reference pipeline —
+data model, provenance, privacy, fusion, and a deterministic benchmark — pending
+real hardware adapters.

+/**
+ * @file test_vitals_count_presence.c
+ * @brief Host-side unit tests for the issue #998 / #996 vitals logic fixes.
+ *
+ * Covers two pure decision functions extracted from edge_processing.c:
+ *   1. count_distinct_persons()  — issue #998 person over-count gate
+ *                                   (energy gate + spatial dedup).
+ *   2. person_count_debounce()   — issue #998 count persistence debounce.
+ *   3. presence_flag_update()    — issue #996 presence hysteresis + clear
+ *                                   debounce (Schmitt trigger).
+ *
+ * Build (Linux/macOS/Windows with any C99 compiler):
+ *   cc -std=c99 -Wall -I../main -o test_vitals \
+ *      test_vitals_count_presence.c && ./test_vitals
+ *
+ * Exits 0 on all-pass, prints which assertion failed otherwise.
+ *
+ * Why a separate host test file: these are deterministic logic checks for the
+ * exact boundary behaviour the issues describe; libFuzzer adds no signal here.
+ *
+ * IMPORTANT — these three functions are copied VERBATIM from
+ * firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/edge_processing.c. They are pure (no globals,
+ * no ESP-IDF). If the firmware copy changes, update the copy here and re-run
+ * this test before the firmware change merges. The named tuning constants are
+ * pulled from the real header so the test and firmware can never disagree on
+ * thresholds.
+ *
+ * HARDWARE-GATED CAVEAT: these tests pin the *logic* (no flicker / no
+ * over-count for the synthetic traces). True count accuracy and the exact
+ * energy/separation/hysteresis thresholds that best match a real room vs
+ * labelled ground truth remain hardware- and data-gated (COM9 ESP32-S3 +
+ * labelled occupancy). This is a robustness/logic fix, not a validated

+//! RaBitQ **unbiased distance estimator** — the real Gao & Long (SIGMOD 2024)
+//! contribution, on top of the Pass-2 rotation ([`crate::rotation`]).
+//!
+//! ## Why this exists (ADR-156 Milestone-2)
+//!
+//! Pass-1 ([`crate::sketch`]) and Pass-2 ([`crate::rotation`]) use only the
+//! **sign** of each rotated coordinate and rank candidates by **Hamming /
+//! bit distance** — a coarse, monotone-but-lossy proxy for the true angle.
+//! ADR-156 §10 measured that sign-only Pass-2 leaves strict-K
+//! (`candidate_k == K`) top-K coverage at **~46%**, well below the ADR-084
+//! **≥90%** bar, and only clears 90% with ~3× over-fetch.
+//!
+//! RaBitQ's *actual* algorithmic contribution is not the sign bits — it is an
+//! **unbiased estimator of the inner product / squared distance** recovered
+//! from the 1-bit code **plus a few bytes of per-vector side information**.
+//! That estimate is far sharper than the raw Hamming proxy, so it can
+//! **rerank** the candidate set and (the question this module measures) close
+//! the strict-K coverage gap.
+//!
+//! ## The estimator (paper formula + our simplification, stated honestly)
+//!
+//! Notation follows the paper. Let `P` be the Pass-2 orthogonal rotation
+//! ([`crate::Rotation`], `R = H·D`). For a data vector `o_raw` and a query
+//! `q_raw`:
+//!
+//! 1. **Centroid.** The paper centres each vector on its (per-cluster)
+//!    centroid `c`: residual `o_r = o_raw − c`. **We use a zero / global
+//!    centroid `c = 0`** (`o_r = o_raw`). This is an explicit simplification
+//!    (no IVF/k-means cluster structure in the current sketch path) — it costs
+//!    accuracy when the data is far off-origin, and we document it rather than
+//!    hide it. With `c = 0`, the residual *is* the raw vector.
+//!
+//! 2. **Unit residual + 1-bit code.** `o = o_r / ‖o_r‖`. Rotate:
+//!    `o' = P·o`. The 1-bit code is `x̄_i = sign(o'_i) · (1/√D)`, so `x̄`
+//!    is a **unit vector** in `{±1/√D}^D` (the corner of the hypercube nearest
+//!    `o'`). `D` is the rotation's padded dimension (`next_pow2(dim)`), because
+//!    the FHT operates on the padded length and `x̄` is unit over that length.
+//!
+//! 3. **Per-vector side information** (the "few bytes"): we store, per sketch,
+//!    - `residual_norm = ‖o_r‖` (an `f32`), and
+//!    - `x_dot_o = ⟨x̄, o'⟩` (an `f32`), the cosine between the code and the
+//!      rotated unit residual. This is the quantity the paper calls `⟨x̄, o⟩`
+//!      (after rotation); it lies in `(0, 1]` and is `1` only when `o'`
+//!      already sits exactly on a hypercube corner.
+//!
+//!    That is **8 bytes/vector** of side info (2× `f32`).
+//!
+//! 4. **Query-time estimate.** Rotate the query residual: `q' = P·q_r`. The
+//!    **unbiased estimator of `⟨o', q'⟩`** (equivalently `⟨o, q_r⟩`, since `P`
+//!    is orthogonal) is
+//!
+//!    ```text
+//!        ⟨o', q'⟩  ≈  ⟨x̄, q'⟩ / ⟨x̄, o'⟩  =  ⟨x̄, q'⟩ / x_dot_o
+//!    ```
+//!
+//!    This is RaBitQ Eq. (in the paper, the estimator `<q, o> ≈ <q̄, ...>`):
+//!    the random rotation makes the quantization error of `x̄` (relative to
+//!    `o'`) orthogonal **in expectation** to `q'`, so dividing the measured
+//!    `⟨x̄, q'⟩` by `x_dot_o` is **unbiased** for `⟨o', q'⟩`, with the paper's
+//!    `O(1/√D)` error bound. The only per-candidate cost is one length-`D`
+//!    dot product `⟨x̄, q'⟩` — which, because `x̄ ∈ {±1/√D}`, is just a signed
+//!    sum of the query coordinates (`±` chosen by the stored sign bits),
+//!    i.e. as cheap as the Hamming proxy plus one multiply.
+//!
+//! 5. **Inner product and squared distance.** Un-normalize:
+//!    `⟨o_r, q_r⟩ = ‖o_r‖ · ⟨o, q_r⟩`. Then
+//!
+//!    ```text
+//!        ‖q_r − o_r‖²  =  ‖q_r‖²  +  ‖o_r‖²  −  2·⟨o_r, q_r⟩
+//!    ```
+//!
+//!    For **ranking** a candidate set against one fixed query, `‖q_r‖²` is a
+//!    per-query constant and can be dropped; we keep it in
+//!    [`DistanceEstimator::estimate_sq_distance`] so the value is a genuine
+//!    distance estimate (used by the unbiasedness test), and expose the
+//!    cheaper ranking key separately.
+//!
+//! ## What is unbiased, and what we measure
+//!
+//! The estimator of `⟨o', q'⟩` is unbiased over the random rotation. We pin
+//! that on a small hand-checkable fixture (`estimator_unbiased_on_fixture`):
+//! averaging the estimate over many random rotation seeds converges to the true
+//! inner product within tolerance. We then measure whether **reranking the
+//! candidate set by this estimate** closes the strict-K coverage gap that the
+//! sign-only Pass-2 left at ~46% — reported honestly in ADR-156 §10 / §11
+//! whether it clears 90% or not.
+//!
+//! ## Backward compatibility
+//!
+//! This module is **purely additive**. It introduces an *extended* sketch type
+//! ([`EstimatorSketch`]) and bank ([`EstimatorBank`]) that carry the side info;
+//! the Pass-1 [`crate::Sketch`] / Pass-2 [`crate::SketchBank`] paths and the
+//! [`crate::WireSketch`] wire format are **untouched**. Nothing on the existing
+//! surface changes.

+//! variances** weighted by the **measured motion-band power**. The grid's hot
+//! cells are the strongest scatterers in that field representation; as the CSI
+//! changes (a person moving through the link), the peak cell moves with it.
+//!
+//! This module reads the **strongest peak(s)** out of that real field and maps
+//! the peak cell to the Observatory room's world coordinates. That gives the
+//! 3D figure a position + motion magnitude that are **derived from real signal
+//! data**, so the figure now tracks where the field energy concentrates.
+//!
+//! ### Honesty caveat (do not over-claim)
+//!
+//! The field's subcarrier→angle mapping in `generate_signal_field()` is a
+//! *representation*, not calibrated multistatic triangulation in metric room
+//! coordinates. A single ESP32 link cannot resolve a true (x, z) room position.
+//! So the emitted `position` is **"strongest field peak in the room model"**,
+//! not survey-grade localization. It is real (a function of live CSI), it moves
+//! with real motion, and it is honest about its source — but it is NOT a
+//! calibrated person fix. Per-person skeletal `pose` keypoints in room
+//! coordinates remain gated on the pose model + paired ground-truth data
+//! (ADR-079), so `pose` here is only ever set from a real aggregate posture
+//! estimate when one exists, and is `None` otherwise (never fabricated).
+//!
+//! ## Coordinate mapping
+//!
+//! The Observatory builds its field point cloud (see `ui/observatory/js/main.js`
+//! `_buildSignalField`) as, for grid cell `(ix, iz)` of a `20×20` grid:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! world_x = (ix - gridSize/2) * 0.6
+//! world_z = (iz - gridSize/2) * 0.5
+//! world_y = 0  (floor)
+//! ```
+//!
+//! and indexes the field as `idx = iz * gridSize + ix` — identical to the
+//! server's `generate_signal_field()` layout (`values[z * grid + x]`). We map
+//! the peak cell with the **same** transform so the figure lands exactly on the
+//! field hotspot it is standing on.

+//! A micro-opt is landed only if the bench proves the path hot; otherwise the
+//! committed bench *is* the result — a MEASURED-NULL that proves the rewrite was
+//! unnecessary (exactly the §5.x "already amortized" pattern). No speedup is
+//! claimed without a before/after number from here.

+//! Reproduce (compile-only):
+//!   cargo bench -p wifi-densepose-signal --no-default-features \
+//!     --bench dsp_perf_bench --no-run
+//!
+//! Reproduce (full run, writes target/criterion/ HTML):
+//!   cargo bench -p wifi-densepose-signal --no-default-features --bench dsp_perf_bench
+//!
+//! Groups:
+//!   * `multistatic_attention` (#5) — `node_attention_weights` at 2..8 nodes ×
+//!       56 subcarriers. Re-derives consensus/softmax each call; no scratch to
+//!       reuse → expected MEASURED-NULL.
+//!   * `tomography_reconstruct` (#6) — full ISTA solve. The two voxel buffers are
+//!       allocated once per `reconstruct()` (then `.fill`-reused across
+//!       iterations), so the per-solve alloc is 2×n_voxels vs an
+//!       O(iters·links·voxels) compute → expected MEASURED-NULL.
+//!   * `pose_kalman_update` (#7) — Kalman predict+update loop. The "gain
+//!       matrices" are fixed-size **stack** arrays (`[[f32;3];6]`), not heap —
+//!       nothing to reuse → expected MEASURED-NULL.
+//!   * `spectrogram_multi_subcarrier` (#20) — `compute_multi_subcarrier_spectrogram`:
+//!       fresh-planner-per-subcarrier (BEFORE) vs hoisted-plan (AFTER, shipped).
+//!       The per-subcarrier FFT re-plan is the likely real win.
+//!   * `field_model_occupancy` (#8, `eigenvalue` only) — per-call n×n
+//!       eigendecomposition in `estimate_occupancy`. MEASUREMENT-ONLY: quantifies
+//!       the recompute cost; incremental SVD is a sized future project, not a
+//!       micro-fix.
