feat(train): metric-locked PCK/MPJPE accuracy harness + ADR-173 (resolve PCK-definition ambiguity) (#1092)

* feat(train): metric-locked PCK/MPJPE accuracy harness — resolve PCK-definition ambiguity

The SOTA brief (docs/research/sota-nn-train-benchmark-brief.md §1/§3.1/§4)
identifies metric ambiguity as the single biggest threat to any beyond-SOTA
claim: three PCK@20 numbers (96.09% WiFlow-STD image-normalized, 81.63%
AetherArena torso-PCK, 61.1% GraphPose-Fi standard PCK) cannot be lined up
because each silently uses a different normalization. The project was retracted
twice over this (a withdrawn 92.9% used absolute pixels, not torso).

New src/accuracy.rs makes the normalizer explicit, selectable, and carried with
every reported number:
- PckNormalization enum: TorsoDiameter (standard MM-Fi/GraphPose-Fi hip↔hip),
  BoundingBoxDiagonal (looser WiFlow-STD image-normalized), AbsolutePixels(t)
  (retracted convention, reproducible + clearly non-comparable).
- pck_at(pred, gt, vis, k, normalization) — one canonical PCK reusing the
  metrics_core geometric primitives (no duplicate kernel).
- mpjpe(pred, gt, vis) — 2D/3D, mm.
- PoseAccuracy { pck_at: BTreeMap<u8,f32>, mpjpe, normalization, n_keypoints,
  n_frames } via accuracy_report(frames, ks, normalization) — an unlabeled PCK
  number is structurally impossible.

17 hand-computed deterministic tests (no GPU, no datasets) prove the harness
arithmetic, including the key proof that identical predictions score
0.50 / 1.00 / 0.75 under the three normalizations, plus graceful degenerate
handling (zero torso, empty frames, NaN coords — no panic, never false-perfect).

This is measurement infrastructure, NOT an accuracy claim. Public API worth an
ADR — needs ADR slot 173 (parent to write).

wifi-densepose-train lib 191→206, test_metrics 12→14, 0 failed; full workspace
green (exit 0); Python deterministic proof unchanged
(f8e76f21a0f9852b70b6d9dd5318239f6b20cbcb4cdd995863263cecdc446f7a).

* docs(adr): ADR-173 — metric-locked PCK/MPJPE accuracy harness

Documents the accuracy harness (committed 3a8b2ed13) that resolves the
PCK-definition ambiguity flagged as the #1 beyond-SOTA risk in the SOTA brief
(#1090): three historical numbers (96/81.6/61) used three unstated
normalizations. The harness makes normalization explicit + selectable
(PckNormalization enum) and every reported number carries its definition.
Key proof: identical predictions → 0.50/1.00/0.75 under torso/bbox/abs.

+## Implementation Notes
+
+### 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.
+
+### 2026-06 — Rust `wifi-densepose-vitals`: IIR filter NaN/inf self-heal (ADR-158 §A1)
+
+A correctness/safety review of the Rust extraction crate found a real bug parallel to the firmware robustness class above. The 2nd-order resonator `bandpass_filter` in both `breathing.rs` and `heartrate.rs` latches each output `y[n]` into its filter state (`y1`/`y2`). A single non-finite amplitude residual from a corrupt CSI frame produced a NaN `output` that was written into the state; the existing `extract()` `is_finite()` guard dropped that one sample from the history buffer **but never sanitized the poisoned filter state**, so every later output stayed NaN, was rejected too, and the sliding-window history never refilled — breathing **and** heart-rate extraction went silently dead (returning `None` forever) until `reset()`. On the alert path this is a safety-relevant denial of service (one bad frame stops vitals monitoring with no error surfaced).
+
+Fix: when `bandpass_filter` computes a non-finite `output`, it resets the IIR state to default and returns `0.0`, so the resonator self-heals on the next clean frame (the `0.0` is still dropped by the caller's finite-check, so no spurious sample enters history). Same shape as the calibration NaN bug (ADR-154 §3) — the prior hardening guarded the *history boundary* but not the *filter-state boundary*. Pinned by `breathing::tests::nan_frame_does_not_permanently_poison_filter`, `breathing::tests::inf_mid_stream_does_not_freeze_history`, and `heartrate::tests::nan_frame_does_not_permanently_poison_filter` (all FAIL pre-fix, verified by reverting). The review also de-magicked the HR physiological plausibility band into named `HR_PLAUSIBLE_MIN_BPM`/`HR_PLAUSIBLE_MAX_BPM` consts (value-identical 40/180 BPM) and added a fabricated-vital negative (`pure_noise_is_never_reported_valid` — broadband noise never yields a clinically `Valid` HR; the extractor honestly returns low-confidence `Unreliable`). Clean dimensions confirmed with evidence: flat/silent input → `None`; pure noise → low-confidence `Unreliable`, never `Valid`; harmonic-rich breathing with no cardiac component → low-confidence, not a confident false HR; out-of-band BPM rejected by the plausibility clamp.

+## 4.1 Crypto/security review notes (§2.2 witness chain — ADR-262 P2 prerequisite)
+
+Beyond-SOTA crypto+security review of the SHA-256 + Ed25519 witness chain
+(`witness.rs` / `witness_signing.rs`) and the manifest signature surface
+(`manifest.rs`), because ADR-262 P2 proposes to **reuse this exact signing
+chain**. Top priority was the sibling `wifi-densepose-engine` bug class —
+unframed boundary-to-boundary concatenation of operator-influenceable strings
+into a signed/hashed digest.
+
+- **Engine bug class ABSENT (good result, reported with byte evidence).**
+  `canonical_bytes` is `DOMAIN_TAG ‖ prev_hash[32] ‖ seq:u64-be ‖ ts:u64-be ‖
+  kind_len:u32-be ‖ kind ‖ payload_len:u32-be ‖ payload`. The two
+  variable-length operator-influenceable fields (`kind`, `payload`) are
+  **length-prefixed**; the fixed-width fields are self-delimiting → the
+  encoding is injective (no two distinct event tuples share a preimage). The
+  Ed25519 signature signs the **identical** bytes the SHA-256 chain commits to.
+  No separate unframed concatenation exists; the manifest `binary_signature`
+  is signed at build time (Makefile) over a single fixed-length `binary_sha256`
+  hex value, not in-crate.
+
+- **CHM-WIT-01 (FIXED) — domain-separation tag added.** The engine fix
+  prescribed *domain-tag + length-prefix*; length-prefix was present, the
+  domain tag was not. Added a versioned, NUL-terminated
+  `WITNESS_DOMAIN_TAG = b"cog-ha-matter/witness-event/v1\x00"` prefix so the
+  witness message can never be replayed as a message for another Ed25519
+  context that shares key infrastructure (notably the manifest signature).
+  **Witness bytes change by design** (prior on-disk hashes/signatures
+  invalidated, as with the engine fix); verified safe because no in-repo crate
+  consumes cog-ha-matter witness bytes programmatically (doc-mentions only).
+
+- **CHM-WIT-02 (HARDENED) — `verify_signature` now uses `verify_strict`.** For
+  an audit chain the signature is the attestation, so non-canonical encodings
+  and small-order keys are rejected (RFC 8032 strict), giving the "one
+  canonical signature per event" property. Not a forgery fix — the verifying
+  key is caller-pinned, never read from the event.
+
+- **Confirmed clean (with evidence):** verify-before-trust + key-pinning
+  (`verify_signature` takes the verifying key as a parameter; `read_jsonl`
+  re-derives every hash and chain-verifies); key handling (the crate never
+  generates/stores/logs/serializes a signing key — only a documented test-only
+  fixed seed; production keys come from the Seed secure store, out of scope);
+  determinism (positional bytes, deterministic Ed25519, alphabetically-locked
+  JSONL field order, sorted TXT records — no HashMap/float nondeterminism feeds
+  any digest); fail-closed parsing (structured errors, no panics; `main.rs`
+  reads no untrusted files/paths).
+
+Tests: `cog-ha-matter --no-default-features` 64 → **68**, 0 failed (CHM-WIT-01
+pinned by 4 fails-on-old tests across `witness.rs`/`witness_signing.rs`;
+CHM-WIT-02 guarded by a key-pinning test). Python deterministic proof
+unchanged (cog-ha-matter is off the signal proof path).

+## 9. Security & concurrency review (P1 core, beyond-SOTA sweep)
+
+Foundational review of the `homecore` crate — the state store + event bus +
+service/entity registries every other HOMECORE module trusts. Same rigor as
+the ADR-129/130/132/133/161 sibling reviews. **Three real fixes (one
+concurrency, two hardening), each pinned by a fails-on-old test; the bus-lag
+and lock-discipline dimensions confirmed clean with evidence.**
+
+- **HC-RACE-01 (state-set TOCTOU — lost / reordered `state_changed`, the
+  crux). FIXED.** `StateMachine::set` did `get()` (releasing the DashMap
+  shard lock) → compute the next snapshot + the no-op / `last_changed`
+  decision → `insert()` (re-acquiring the lock) → `send()`. The
+  read-modify-write was **not atomic** w.r.t. a concurrent writer on the
+  same entity, contradicting §2.1's promise that "the writer atomically
+  replaces the map entry." A writer that read a stale `old` could
+  mis-classify a genuine transition as a no-op and **drop its
+  `state_changed` event** (a missed automation trigger) or fire an event
+  whose `new_state` duplicated the previously delivered one (a spurious
+  trigger for any automation keyed on `old_state != new_state`). **Fix:**
+  hold the shard write-lock across the entire read→decide→insert→fire
+  sequence via `entry()`/`insert_entry()`; `tx.send` is non-blocking,
+  non-async, and never re-enters the map, so firing under the shard lock
+  cannot deadlock and keeps global event order in lock-step with global
+  commit order. Pinned by `concurrent_set_fires_no_duplicate_adjacent_events`
+  (4 writers toggling one entity A/B; asserts no two consecutive fired
+  events carry an identical `new_state` — impossible under correct
+  serialisation; a probe observed ~93k such duplicate-adjacent events across
+  200 trials on the racy code, zero on the fix).
+- **HC-EID-LEN-01 (unbounded `entity_id` — memory-DoS at the REST boundary).
+  FIXED.** `homecore-api/src/rest.rs` parses untrusted path segments
+  straight through `EntityId::parse`; with no length cap, an
+  otherwise-valid id (`a.` + many MB of `[a-z0-9_]`) was accepted and a
+  `POST /api/states/<giant>` would persist it into the DashMap state store
+  (permanent growth across distinct ids). **Fix:** reject ids longer than
+  `MAX_ENTITY_ID_LEN` (255, HA-compatible) up front in `parse()`, before any
+  per-char scan, with a new `EntityIdError::TooLong`; fail-closed at the
+  boundary type protects every caller. Pinned by `entity_id_length_boundary`
+  (exactly-MAX accepted, MAX+1 and a 4 MiB id rejected — fails on old code).
+- **HC-SVC-PANIC-01 (service-handler panic not isolated). HARDENED.**
+  `ServiceRegistry::call` already ran handlers outside the registry lock (no
+  `RwLock` poisoning, no blocking of other callers — clean), but a
+  panicking handler unwound through `call()` into the caller's task. **Fix:**
+  wrap the handler future in `AssertUnwindSafe` + `catch_unwind`, converting
+  a panic to `ServiceError::HandlerPanicked`; the registry stays fully
+  usable. Pinned by `panicking_handler_is_isolated_and_registry_survives`.
+
+**Dimensions confirmed clean (with evidence):**
+
+- **Event-bus bounds / lag (same class as the homecore-api WS lag-DoS).**
+  Both `StateMachine` and `EventBus` use bounded `tokio::sync::broadcast`
+  (capacity 4,096). A slow subscriber gets a recoverable `Lagged(n)`
+  (drop-oldest + re-sync); `fire_*` is non-blocking and **never waits on
+  slow receivers**, so a lagging subscriber cannot block the publisher, grow
+  the channel without bound, or take down a fast subscriber. Evidenced by
+  `slow_subscriber_does_not_block_publisher_or_kill_the_bus` (fire 3×
+  capacity at an idle subscriber; publisher unblocked, bus stays live).
+- **Lock ordering / lock-across-await (deadlock).** No code path holds two
+  of `{state DashMap, registry RwLock, service RwLock}` simultaneously, so
+  no inconsistent-ordering deadlock can exist. Every `tokio::sync::RwLock`
+  guard in `registry.rs`/`service.rs` is used in a single synchronous
+  statement and dropped before any `.await`; `call` explicitly scopes the
+  read guard out before awaiting the handler. The only guard held across a
+  send is the DashMap shard lock in `set`, across a synchronous
+  (non-await) broadcast send — safe.
+- **Panic-on-input.** No reachable `unwrap`/`expect`/index in non-test code
+  beyond the safe `send().unwrap_or(0)` and the dead-but-harmless
+  `split_once(...).unwrap_or(...)` fallbacks on already-validated ids.
+
+`cargo test -p homecore --no-default-features`: **20 → 24 passed, 0 failed**
+(+4 pins). Workspace green; Python deterministic proof unchanged
+(`f8e76f21…46f7a`, bit-exact — `homecore` is off the signal proof path).

+## 8a. Security review (beyond-SOTA sweep, post ADR-154–159)
+
+A focused security review of `homecore-automation` (the execution/eval surface — triggers → conditions → actions, with templates) was run after the ADR-154–159 sweep, applying the same rigor that the sibling engine/bfld/calibration/vitals/geo reviews used. **Two real DoS findings, each pinned by a fails-on-old test; the condition-bypass, fail-closed-parsing, and action-authorization dimensions were probed and found clean.**
+
+- **HC-SEC-01 (template-injection / unbounded-expansion DoS, HIGH) — FIXED.** A `template:` condition / `value_template` is user automation config, and was rendered with MiniJinja's defaults: **no instruction budget, no output cap**. A single condition such as `{% for i in range(5000) %}{% for j in range(5000) %}xxxx{% endfor %}{% endfor %}` rendered a **100 MB string over ~11 s on one render call** (measured) — a CPU/memory denial of service (the bfld-class "unbounded expansion"; MiniJinja's per-call `range()` 10k cap does **not** stop nested loops). **Fix:** enable MiniJinja's `fuel` feature and set a per-render budget (`set_fuel(Some(1_000_000))`) so a nested loop burns one unit per iteration — the attack now fails fast (~90 ms) with "engine ran out of fuel"; plus a 64 KiB source-length cap rejecting pathological sources before compilation. Legitimate HA templates (a few dozen instructions) are unaffected. Pinned by `nested_loop_template_is_bounded_not_unbounded_dos`, `single_huge_repeat_template_is_bounded`, `oversized_template_source_is_rejected` (all fail-on-old: unbounded render / no rejection), and `legitimate_template_still_renders_within_fuel` (no regression).
+- **HC-SEC-02 (panic-on-config DoS, MEDIUM) — FIXED.** `Action::Delay { seconds }` and `Action::WaitForTrigger { timeout_seconds }` fed the user-supplied float straight into `Duration::from_secs_f64`, which **panics** on negative, NaN, infinite, or overflowing inputs — all reachable from a crafted (or typo'd) YAML (`delay: {seconds: -1}`, `.nan`, `.inf`, `1e308`). One hostile config aborts the spawned automation run task with a panic (measured: "cannot convert float seconds to Duration: value is negative"). **Fix:** a `safe_duration_from_secs` guard that saturates instead of panicking (NaN/±inf/negative → `Duration::ZERO`, matching HA's lenient "non-positive delay = no delay"; absurdly large → clamped to ~100 years). Pinned by `delay_negative_seconds_does_not_panic`, `delay_nan_seconds_does_not_panic`, `delay_infinite_seconds_does_not_panic`, `wait_for_trigger_negative_timeout_does_not_panic`, `safe_duration_saturates_hostile_values` (incl. overflow clamp).
+
+**Dimensions confirmed clean (with evidence):**
+- **Condition bypass / fail-closed eval** — a `Condition::Template` whose render errors evaluates to `false` (`condition.rs` `Err(_) => false`), and a `Choose` branch condition that fails to deserialize is treated as **non-matching** (the branch is skipped), not silently passing (`action.rs` `ChoiceBranch::matches` `Err(_) => return false`). Both fail **closed** (do-not-run), confirmed by the existing `choose_*` tests and template-false-blocks-action behavioral test. No true-by-default-on-parse-error path found.
+- **Re-entrancy / livelock (DoS)** — run-mode machinery is bounded and tested: `Single`/`IgnoreFirst` re-entrancy guard, `Restart` cancel-and-replace, `Queued` FIFO serialization, and `max: N` semaphore cap (ADR-162; `restart_mode_cancels_prior_run`, `queued_mode_runs_sequentially_not_concurrently`, `max_two_caps_concurrency_at_two`, `single_mode_does_not_double_fire_on_rapid_triggers`). A self-triggering automation does not livelock the engine — each fire is bounded by its run-mode.
+- **Action authorization** — templates are read-only sandboxed (`states`/`state_attr`/`is_state`/`now` globals; no service-call or state-set global is exposed to template scope), so a template cannot escalate into an action. Service authorization itself is enforced at the `homecore` service-registry boundary (out of this crate's scope); no gap found in what the automation crate enforces.
+- **Panic-on-config (parse)** — `serde_yaml`/`serde_json` deserialization returns structured `AutomationError` (no `unwrap`/`expect`/index reachable from a crafted config in the eval/exec path); the only remaining panic surface was the `from_secs_f64` path fixed as HC-SEC-02.
+
+Validation: `cargo test -p homecore-automation --no-default-features` → 54 passed / 0 failed (+14 over baseline). Python deterministic proof unchanged (homecore-automation is off the signal-processing proof path).

+
+A beyond-SOTA security review of `homecore-recorder` covered SQL injection, retention/purge
+correctness, fail-closed write integrity, semantic-store NaN poisoning, and PII exposure.
+
+**Confirmed clean (with evidence):**
+
+- **SQL injection — clean.** Every query in `db.rs` uses bound `?` parameters; no user- or
+  entity-influenceable value is interpolated into SQL via `format!`/concatenation. The only
+  `format!` builds the `LIKE` *pattern* string, which is itself **bound** as a parameter with
+  `ESCAPE '\\'` and `% _ \` escaping — so a metacharacter payload is matched literally. Pinned
+  by `malicious_entity_id_is_stored_literally_not_executed` (a `'; DROP TABLE states; --` state
+  value leaves the table intact and round-trips verbatim) and
+  `like_metacharacters_in_query_are_literal_not_wildcards`.
+- **NaN-index poisoning — structurally impossible.** Embeddings are SHA-256 → `i32` →
+  `f32`; an `i32`→`f32` cast is always finite (never NaN/Inf), and an all-zero-digest is
+  guarded by the `norm > 1e-10` check. Empty-index search, empty-string query, and `k=0` were
+  probed and all return `Ok(0)` with no panic. (Unlike the calibration/vitals/geo paths, no raw
+  sensor float ever reaches the index.)
+- **Fail-closed writes.** A removal event returns `Ok(None)`; semantic-index failure is logged,
+  not propagated, so it never blocks the durable SQLite write; `EntityId` parse failure falls
+  back to a sentinel rather than panicking.
+
+**Fixed (real bounding bugs):**
+
+- **Memory-DoS — `get_state_history` was unbounded.** No `LIMIT`, so a wide time window over a
+  high-frequency entity loaded an unbounded row set into memory. Now capped at

+  with an **exclusive** cutoff (idempotent, no off-by-one) that deletes old `states`/`events` and

+## 6. Security review (beyond-SOTA, untrusted-input → action path)
+
+A focused security review of the Assist pipeline — `utterance → recognizer →
+intent → handler → action`, plus `RufloRunner` — treating the utterance as
+untrusted input (voice transcripts, the WebSocket `assist` command). This
+surface was not covered by the ADR-154–159 sweep.
+
+### 6.1 Finding fixed — HC-ASSIST-01 (unbounded-utterance DoS, LOW)
+
+Both `RegexIntentRecognizer::recognize` and the semantic `recognize_scored`
+accepted utterances of **unbounded length** and ran `to_lowercase()` (a full
+clone) + a per-registered-pattern scan (and, in the semantic path, full
+tokenisation + feature-hash embedding) before any bound — an allocation/CPU
+amplification on attacker-controlled input. The `regex` crate is **linear-time**
+(RE2-style finite automaton, no catastrophic backtracking), so this was a
+throughput/memory DoS, not a hang.
+
+**Fix:** `MAX_UTTERANCE_BYTES = 4096` (far above any real spoken command),
+checked at **both** recognizer boundaries *before* any allocation/scan. An
+over-length utterance **fails closed** to `Ok(None)` — no intent, no action,
+identical to an unrecognised phrase — so it can never be coerced into firing a
+handler. Pinned by `over_length_utterance_fails_closed` (an over-length
+utterance that *contains* a valid command resolves to `None`, which would have
+matched on the old code) and `over_length_utterance_fails_closed_semantic`.
+
+### 6.2 Dimensions confirmed clean (with evidence)
+
+- **Command / argument injection — NO SUBPROCESS SURFACE.** The `RufloRunner`
+  has exactly two impls: `NoopRunner` (no process) and `LocalRunner` (runs the
+  local recognizer, no process). There is **no** `std::process` / `tokio::process`
+  / `Command` / process `.spawn()` anywhere in the crate — the trait `spawn` is
+  only a `started: bool` lifecycle flag — and `RufloRunnerOpts.{script_path,env}`
+  are **inert data, never consumed**. The live `node ruflo-agent.js` runner is
+  genuinely data-gated/future (P2). Defence-in-depth: the `entity_id` capture
+  class `[a-z_][a-z0-9_ .]*` **excludes every shell/SQL metacharacter**, so even
+  when an injection-shaped utterance resolves (the regex is not exact-anchored),
+  the captured slot is a clean token — sanitisation by construction. Pins:
+  `shell_metachars_never_survive_into_a_resolved_slot`,
+  `runner_opts_are_inert_no_process_spawned`,
+  `pipeline_injection_shaped_utterance_carries_no_metachars_to_service`.
+- **ReDoS — STRUCTURALLY IMPOSSIBLE.** `regex 1.12.3` (no `fancy-regex` in the
+  dependency tree) is linear-time; a classic `(a+)+$` shape on adversarial input
+  completes in bounded time. Pin:
+  `pathological_backtracking_pattern_completes_in_bounded_time`. Patterns are
+  operator-registered, not user-supplied, in any case.
+- **NaN-poisoning — EMBEDDINGS STRUCTURALLY FINITE.** The embedding path takes
+  only `&str` and produces values via FNV feature-hashing + a guarded L2
+  normalise (`norm > 1e-12`); no external float input, no unguarded division, so
+  a crafted utterance cannot inject NaN/Inf to poison the cosine k-NN. Cosine
+  against the zero vector is a finite `0.0`; an empty index `max_by` returns
+  `None` (no panic); the NaN-safe `partial_cmp().unwrap_or(Equal)` is already in
+  place. Pins: `embeddings_are_structurally_finite`,
+  `cosine_with_zero_vector_is_finite_not_nan`,
+  `empty_utterance_against_empty_index_no_panic_no_match`.
+- **Intent confusion / fail-closed.** An unrecognised utterance → `not_understood()`
+  (no service call); a recognised intent with no registered handler →
+  `not_understood()`; semantic below-threshold / empty-index → regex fallback.
+  No default high-privilege intent, no fail-open path.
+- **Panic-on-input.** No `unwrap`/`expect`/index reachable from a crafted
+  utterance; the one `exemplars[id]` index uses an `id` from `enumerate()` over
+  the append-only exemplar `Vec` (no remove API), so it is always in bounds.
+
+`cargo test -p homecore-assist --no-default-features`: **29→36, 0 failed** (+7);

+## Witness Integrity Review (2026-06-14) — domain-separation fix
+
+A beyond-SOTA security review of `wifi-densepose-engine` (the composition root
+that builds the §2.7 trust witness in `witness_of`) found a real **witness
+domain-separation gap**, now fixed.
+
+**Finding (witness-gap, HIGH).** `witness_of` concatenated `model_version`,
+`calibration_version`, and `privacy_decision` boundary-to-boundary, and the
+variable-length `evidence` list carried no explicit count. A string straddling a
+field boundary therefore collided with a *different* trust decision —
+e.g. a per-room adapter id (ADR-150 §3.4, operator-influenceable) that absorbs
+the leading bytes of the calibration epoch (`model="…cal:00a"`, `cal="b"`)
+produces the **same** witness as `model="…"`, `cal="cal:00ab"`. Two distinct
+privacy-relevant input tuples → one witness defeats the "any privacy-relevant
+delta → different witness" guarantee this ADR's §2.7 witness exists to provide.
+
+**Fix.** The witness now (a) prepends a domain tag `ruview.engine.witness.v1`,
+(b) writes an explicit 8-byte evidence count, and (c) **length-prefixes every
+field** (8-byte LE length ‖ bytes), so field framing is unambiguous regardless
+of contents. This is a witness-layout change (all prior witness bytes are
+invalidated by design); downstream consumers only assert witness *relationships*
+(`assert_ne`/`assert_eq` across runs), not absolute bytes, so nothing breaks.
+
+Pinned by `witness_distinguishes_model_calibration_boundary` and
+`witness_distinguishes_evidence_model_boundary` (both fail on the old
+concatenation). Witness **determinism** was reviewed and confirmed clean: no
+HashMap iteration and no float formatting feed the hash (floats appear only in
+the `SemanticState` statement, which is outside the witness).

+## Privacy Monotonicity Review (2026-06-14) — confirmed clean
+
+A beyond-SOTA security review of the governed-trust cycle
+(`wifi-densepose-engine::StreamingEngine::process_cycle_calibrated`) examined
+the privacy-demotion path this ADR governs. **The monotonicity invariant holds:
+demotion only ever makes the emitted class more restrictive, never less.**
+
+Verification (no behaviour change, the result is a clean bill with evidence):
+
+- Each cycle computes `effective_class` fresh from the active mode's
+  `target_class()` (the floor) and applies at most a **single-step** demotion
+  (`demote_one`, clamped at `Restricted`). There is no cross-cycle state that
+  could let a permissive class overwrite a restrictive one.
+- A forced contradiction (calibration mismatch / array-geometry insufficiency /
+  mesh partition risk, ADR-032) raises the class byte; a clean cycle emits
+  exactly the base class.
+- Pinned by `forced_contradiction_never_relaxes_class`, a property test over
+  **all five** `PrivacyMode`s asserting `effective_class.as_u8() >=
+  base_class.as_u8()` (strictly greater unless already clamped at `Restricted`)
+  under a forced contradiction, and `== base` on a clean cycle.
+
+Fail-closed boundaries were also pinned: an empty cycle errors (no degenerate
+over-permissive output, `empty_cycle_fails_closed`) and the single-node boundary
+is characterized as a valid non-demoting mode (`single_node_cycle_is_well_formed`).
+
+The related witness domain-separation fix from the same review is recorded in
+ADR-137 (the witness folds `effective_class`, so the demotion is auditable).
+## Security & Privacy Review (2026-06-14)
+
+Beyond-SOTA privacy+security review of `wifi-densepose-bfld` (the crate was not in the ADR-154–159 sweep). Two real bugs fixed (each pinned by a fails-on-old test), several dimensions confirmed clean.
+
+### Findings
+
+| # | Severity | Site | Issue | Fix | Pinned by |
+|---|----------|------|-------|-----|-----------|
+| 1 | **privacy-bypass (HIGH)** | `pipeline.rs::process_to_frame` | The documented wire-bytes production path stamped the frame header with the active `PrivacyClass` but serialized the caller's `BfldPayload` **unchanged** via `BfldFrame::from_payload` — never routing through `PrivacyGate::demote`. A frame labeled `Anonymous`(2)/`Restricted`(3) carried the full `compressed_angle_matrix` (identity surface) + amplitude/phase + `csi_delta`. A `NetworkSink` accepts class ≥ `Derived`(1), so the identity surface could cross the node boundary despite the restrictive class byte — the byte lied about content. | Apply `PrivacyGate::demote(frame, active_class)` after construction: a same-class transition that strips the sections the class forbids; `Raw`/`Derived` keep the full payload. | `tests/pipeline_to_frame.rs::process_to_frame_at_anonymous_strips_identity_leaky_sections`, `…_in_privacy_mode_strips_amplitude_and_phase` (both FAILED pre-fix); `…_at_derived_preserves_full_payload` (over-strip guard) |
+| 2 | **PII/injection (MEDIUM)** | `mqtt_topics.rs::render_events` | `zone_activity` payload built as `format!("\"{zone}\"")` with no JSON escaping (while `ha_discovery.rs` already escapes). A zone name with `"`/`\` produced malformed/injectable JSON on the HA state topic. | `json_string_literal()` escaper mirroring `ha_discovery::push_str_field`. Value-identical for normal zone names. | `tests/mqtt_topic_routing.rs::zone_payload_escapes_json_metacharacters` (FAILED pre-fix) |
+
+### Dimensions confirmed clean (with evidence)
+
+- **Event-field privacy gating** — `BfldEvent::apply_privacy_gating` nulls `identity_risk_score` + `rf_signature_hash` at `Restricted`, and `serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")` omits them entirely. `render_events`/`render_discovery_payloads` refuse class < `Anonymous` (stricter than the `sink.rs` `NetworkKind` `MIN_CLASS = Derived` — defense in depth toward less leakage). Covered by `event_privacy_gating.rs`, `mqtt_topic_routing.rs`, `ha_discovery.rs`.
+- **Witness/hash framing (the engine `witness_of` bug class)** — CLEAN. `SignatureHasher::compute` prefixes a **fixed 4-byte** `day_epoch` then a **fixed-width canonical-f32** feature block (`IdentityFeatures`: Embedding = `EMBEDDING_DIM*4`, RiskFactors = 16 B). `PrivacyAttestationProof::compute` hashes a fixed 32-byte `prev_hash` + three fixed 1-byte values. No variable-length operator-influenceable string is concatenated into any digest — no length-prefix-framing collision is possible.
+- **Fail-closed** — `payload.rs::from_bytes` rejects truncated/overflowing/trailing-byte sections (`checked_add`, bounds checks); `frame.rs::from_bytes` validates magic/version/length/CRC; `PrivacyClass::try_from` rejects unknown bytes; `identity_risk::score` maps NaN/degenerate factors → 0.0 (privacy-conservative). The `from_score(NaN) → Accept` choice is a documented, deliberate publish-aggregate-only fallback (NaN never reaches it from `score()`); risk-driven NaN cannot leak identity because identity gating is class-byte-driven, not risk-driven.
+
+### Observation (not a bug)
+
+The ADR-141 control plane (`PrivacyMode`/`PrivacyModeRegistry`) is **not yet wired into the emit path** — the emitter/pipeline enforce the raw `PrivacyClass` directly; the registry is exported + unit-tested but advisory. This matches the "Integration glue — not yet on the live path" status above. The class-byte enforcement (emitter + event + renderers + the now-fixed `process_to_frame`) is the live guarantee. Wiring the registry is the documented next step.

+
+### 6.1 Correctness + security review (2026-06-14)
+
+Beyond-SOTA correctness+security review of `wifi-densepose-calibration` (this
+ADR's pipeline), un-covered by the ADR-154–159 sweep.
+
+**Finding (FIXED) — NaN-poisoning of the feature path (numerical / fail-closed).**
+`Features::from_series` — the carrier for both live inference and training-anchor
+extraction — computed `mean`/`variance`/`motion` over the raw scalar series with
+no non-finite guard. A single `NaN`/`±inf` sample (corrupt CSI frame) yielded
+`mean=NaN, variance=NaN` and an all-`NaN` prototype embedding. Persisted into a
+`PresenceSpecialist::threshold`/`empty_mean` at train time, the `NaN` **silently
+disabled presence detection** for the bank's lifetime (every `>` / `|·|`
+comparison against `NaN` is false → always reads *absent*, confidence 0), with no
+error — and an asymmetry against the rigorously NaN-guarded `geometry_embedding`.
+Fixed at the production boundary: non-finite samples are dropped (a corrupt frame
+counts as no frame), an all-non-finite series degrades to `Features::ZERO` like
+the empty series. Value-identical for all-finite input (full-loop + extract tests
+unchanged); pinned by `non_finite_samples_do_not_poison_features` and
+`all_non_finite_series_is_zero` (both fail on the old code).
+
+**Clean dimensions (evidence, no invented issues).**
+- *File/path handling:* the crate performs **zero** file/path I/O (no
+  `std::fs`/`Path`/`File`/`read`/`write` in `src/`; only in-memory `serde_json`).
+  Path-traversal / unbounded-read / artifact-path handling live entirely in the
+  `wifi-densepose-cli` consumer (`room.rs`), outside this crate's boundary.
+- *Untrusted-load:* `SpecialistBank::from_json` shape-validates via serde
+  (malformed → `CalibrationError::Serde`); banks are local-first (invariant B),
+  never network-received. A well-formed bank with adversarial numerics is trusted
+  as-is — acceptable under the local-first threat model; a validate-on-load
+  defense-in-depth pass is a possible future hardening, not a present bug.
+- *Receipt/hash integrity:* the crate emits no hash/receipt/witness/signature, so
+  the unframed-concatenation bug class (cf. the engine `witness_of` fix) is
+  structurally absent.
+- *Other numerical paths:* `geometry_embedding` sanitizes every input and sweeps
+  to finite; presence/restlessness/anomaly divisions are `.max(1e-3)`-guarded;
+  `autocorr_dominant` guards `r0`, short signals, and empty bands; `train` rejects
+  empty anchors; anomaly requires ≥2 anchors.
+
+De-magicked the bare specialist threshold literals (breathing/heartbeat default
+min-scores, anomaly outlier-spread multiple + label cutoff) into named documented
+consts, value-identical, pinned by const-equality tests. Tests
+**58→62 unit + 1 integration, 0 failed**; Python deterministic proof unchanged

+## Addendum — `homecore-api` follow-up security review (beyond-SOTA pass)
+
+A later network-facing review of `homecore-api` (the remote REST + WS attack
+surface) — independent of the ADR-154–159 sweep — found and fixed two real
+issues the original M7 pass (which focused on the WS auth bypass HC-WS-01, the
+reply-theater HC-WS-02, and the bin token provisioning HC-WS-08) did not catch.
+Both are LOW severity and reported at true severity.
+
+### HC-API-AUTH-01 — `GET /api/` was unauthenticated (FIXED)
+
+`rest::api_root` took no headers and unconditionally returned
+`200 {"message":"API running."}`, while every sibling route gates on
+`BearerAuth::from_headers`. HA's `APIStatusView` inherits `requires_auth = True`,
+so `/api/` must return **401** for a missing/wrong bearer. HA clients use the
+status route as a token-validation probe; a 200 told a bad-token client its
+token was valid and let an unauthenticated party confirm a live endpoint.
+LOW severity (the body is a static string; no entity/state data leaks).
+
+**Fix:** `api_root(headers, State)` now validates the bearer like `get_config`.
+**Pinned by** (fail-on-old, `tests/server_bin_auth.rs`):
+`api_root_rejects_missing_bearer`, `api_root_rejects_wrong_bearer` (both 200→401),
+guarded by `api_root_accepts_correct_bearer` (still 200 with a valid token).
+
+### HC-WS-LAG-01 — `subscribe_events` killed the stream on a broadcast lag (FIXED)
+
+The per-subscription task matched `Err(_) => break` on both broadcast
+`recv()` arms. `RecvError::Lagged(n)` (a slow consumer falling
+>`EVENT_CHANNEL_CAPACITY` = 4,096 events behind) is **recoverable** — the bus
+doc says "Lagged receivers must re-sync" and HA keeps the subscription alive
+across a lag. The old code treated the first lag as fatal, so after an event
+burst the client's stream went permanently silent with no error frame — a
+self-inflicted event-delivery DoS under load.
+
+**Fix:** `Lagged(_) => continue` (skip the dropped window, re-sync),
+`Closed => break`, on both the system and domain arms of the `select!`.
+**Pinned by** `subscription_survives_broadcast_lag` (`tests/ws_handshake.rs`):
+subscribes to a filtered event type, floods 6,000 unrelated events past the
+4,096 capacity to force a `Lagged`, then asserts a subsequent subscribed event
+is still delivered (old code: 5s-timeout panic).
+
+### Dimensions confirmed clean (with evidence)
+
+- **AuthN/AuthZ** — all 7 other REST handlers gate on `BearerAuth::from_headers`
+  → `LongLivedTokenStore::is_valid` before any work; the WS handshake validates
+  the `auth` token against the same store before the command loop, and
+  privileged commands are unreachable pre-`auth_ok`. Token compare is
+  `HashSet::contains` (content-independent timing — not the byte-`==` oracle of
+  ADR-157 §B4), so no timing-oracle finding. No route skips the gate; no
+  result-ignored check; no default/empty token accepted.
+- **Path traversal** — no route maps user input to a filesystem path (state is an
+  in-memory `DashMap`); `:entity_id` passes through `EntityId::parse`, a strict
+  `[a-z0-9_]+\.[a-z0-9_]+` ASCII allowlist that rejects `..`, `/`, `\`, and
+  absolute paths. No traversal surface.
+- **Injection** — no SQL, no shell/subprocess, no `format!`-into-response;
+  service/state bodies are typed `serde_json::Value` handed to the in-process
+  registry (HA-equivalent).
+- **Info-leak** — `ApiError` maps to fixed status + a typed `{message}`;
+  `ServiceError::HandlerFailed(String)` is integration-controlled (HA surfaces
+  the handler error too), never framework internals/paths/stack-traces — no
+  ADR-080-class leak.
+- **CORS** — explicit allowlist with `allow_credentials(false)` (HC-05),
+  not `permissive()`.

+# ADR-172: `wifi-densepose-cli` + `wifi-densepose-core` CSI-Deserialiser Security Review
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **Status** | Accepted — clean-with-evidence, 4 regression pins added |
+| **Date** | 2026-06-15 |
+| **Deciders** | ruv |
+| **Codename** | **CSI-DESERIALISER-HARDENING** |
+| **Supersedes / amends** | none (records review; references ADR-127 §9 for the `core` portion, ADR-136 for the pre-existing DoS ACs) |
+
+## Context
+
+The beyond-SOTA security sweep (branch `feat/v2-beyond-sota-sweep`) reviewed each
+`v2/` crate for real, reproducible defects. Two crates had no prior dedicated
+security ADR:
+
+- **`wifi-densepose-core`** — the dependency root for all 12 downstream crates
+  (types, traits, error types, CSI frame primitives). A defect here is a
+  force-multiplier: every consumer inherits it.
+- **`wifi-densepose-cli`** — the user-facing entrypoint
+  (`calibrate`/`calibrate-serve`/`enroll`/`train-room`/`room-watch` + MAT-gated),
+  which parses untrusted UDP CSI packets and operator-supplied paths.
+
+A **specific hypothesis** motivated the core review. Three earlier reviews in
+this campaign found a systemic **NaN-state-poisoning bug class** in crates that
+depend on core (`wifi-densepose-calibration`, `-vitals`, `-geo`): a non-finite
+(NaN/Inf) input latched into persistent filter/accumulator state (IIR `y1/y2`,
+running mean, Welford/von-Mises accumulator, voxel grid) → silent **permanent**
+feature failure. The load-bearing question for this review: **does that bug class
+originate in a shared `wifi-densepose-core` primitive** (making the right fix a
+single root fix), or was it independently re-implemented in each downstream
+crate (making the three existing local fixes complete)?
+
+## Decision
+
+Record the review outcome and lock in the existing DoS guards with regression
+tests. **No production code is changed** — both crates were already hardened
+(ADR-136 acceptance criteria + `sanitize_room_id`); the gap was *untested*
+guards, which a future refactor could silently remove.
+
+### Load-bearing question — VERDICT: **NO** (the NaN class does not live in core)
+
+`wifi-densepose-core` exposes **no stateful accumulator of any kind** — no
+Welford/running-mean, no von-Mises/circular-mean, no IIR/biquad filter state, no
+voxel grid.
+
+- **MEASURED:** `grep` over `core/src` for
+  `welford|von_mises|biquad|y1|y2|running_mean|accumulat|voxel|self.*+=` matched
+  only the `InvalidState` *error* enum variant, "reset state" doc comments, and a
+  test-only LCG — **zero** stateful logic. The only float math in core is
+  construction-time projection (`CsiFrame::new` → amplitude/phase via `mapv`) and
+  pure stateless `utils` functions; nothing persists across frames.
+- **Corroboration:** `wifi-densepose-calibration::Features::from_series`
+  (`extract.rs:103–133`) already filters non-finite samples → `Features::ZERO`.
+  The downstream fixes are independently re-implemented, confirming each crate
+  rolls its own accumulator and each local fix is correct and complete. **A fix
+  in core would be a no-op (there is nothing to fix).**
+
+Consequence: the NaN-state-poisoning class is a *downstream-local* pattern, not a
+core-rooted defect. No hidden fourth instance exists in the shared primitive.
+
+### Findings (all pins — guards already present, now tested)
+
+| # | Location | Guard (pre-existing) | Regression pin | Evidence (MEASURED) |
+|---|----------|----------------------|----------------|---------------------|
+| 1 | `core` `types.rs:801` `from_canonical_bytes` | `saturating_mul` shape-vs-length check before `Vec::with_capacity(rows*cols)` | `canonical_decode_oversized_shape_is_bounded_not_allocated` | With guard removed: **panics `capacity overflow` at `types.rs:801`**; with guard: passes |
+| 2 | `core` `types.rs` decoder | typed `CanonicalDecodeError`, never panics | `canonical_decode_never_panics_on_arbitrary_bytes` (fuzz sweep) | panic-free on arbitrary bytes |
+| 3 | `cli` `calibrate.rs:276–291` | length check `buf.len() < 20 + n_pairs*2` before `Array2::zeros(n_antennas*n_subcarriers)` | `test_parse_csi_packet_oversized_claim_is_rejected_not_allocated` | 255×65535 claim in a 2 KB packet → `None` (no allocation) |
+| 4 | `cli` `calibrate.rs` parser | `None`-returning on malformed input | `test_parse_csi_packet_never_panics_on_arbitrary_bytes` (fuzz sweep) | panic-free on arbitrary UDP bytes |
+
+### Dimensions confirmed clean (with evidence)
+
+1. **Panic-on-adversarial-input = 0** — `from_canonical_bytes` returns a typed
+   error for every malformed class; `parse_csi_packet` returns `None`. Both
+   fuzz-swept panic-free.
+2. **NaN handling** — `Confidence::new` rejects NaN
+   (`!(0.0..=1.0).contains(&NaN)` ⇒ `Err`); `compute_bounding_box` /
+   `to_flat_array` are NaN-tolerant (f32 min/max ignore NaN).
+3. **Empty-frame safety** — `amplitude_variance` / `mean_amplitude` are
+   panic-free on an empty `Array2` (ndarray 0.17 returns finite / `None`).
+4. **Unbounded-memory DoS** — bounded in both deserialisers (findings 1 & 3).
+5. **Path traversal** — `calibrate-serve` defends every client-supplied
+   `room_id`/`bank`/`baseline` via `sanitize_room_id` (`[A-Za-z0-9_-]`, 64-char
+   cap) with existing tests; bearer-auth gate + non-loopback-bind warning present.
+   `mat export` writes to an operator-supplied `PathBuf` (acceptable CLI behavior).
+6. **Secrets** — `--token` is read from `CALIBRATE_TOKEN` env, never embedded.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `cargo test -p wifi-densepose-core` → **35 → 37** lib passed, 0 failed (+3 doctests)
+- `cargo test -p wifi-densepose-cli --no-default-features` → **24 → 26** passed, 0 failed
+- `cargo test --workspace --no-default-features` → **exit 0**, 0 failed
+- `python archive/v1/data/proof/verify.py` → **VERDICT: PASS**, hash

+  (core/cli are off the signal proof path — confirms no pipeline alteration)
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Two CSI deserialisers (the untrusted-input boundary of both the library root
+  and the network-facing CLI) now have their DoS guards pinned against
+  regression — a future refactor that drops a length check fails CI.
+- The NaN-state-poisoning class is settled as downstream-local; reviewers no
+  longer need to suspect a shared-root defect, and the three prior local fixes
+  are confirmed complete.
+
+### Negative
+- None. Test-only change; no behavior or API change.
+
+### Neutral
+- The `core` portion is also noted in ADR-127 §9 (shared security-review log);
+  this ADR is the canonical record for the `wifi-densepose-cli` review.

+# ADR-173: Metric-Locked PCK/MPJPE Accuracy Harness
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **Status** | Accepted — implemented, deterministically tested |
+| **Date** | 2026-06-15 |
+| **Deciders** | ruv |
+| **Codename** | **METRIC-LOCK** |
+| **Amends** | ADR-155 (generalizes the torso-only `metrics_core::pck_canonical` to a selectable normalization) |
+| **Motivated by** | `docs/research/sota-nn-train-benchmark-brief.md` (PR #1090) |
+
+## Context
+
+The beyond-SOTA SOTA-research brief (PR #1090) identified the single biggest
+threat to any "beyond-SOTA" accuracy claim this project makes: **metric
+ambiguity**. Three PCK@20 numbers circulate, computed under three *different and
+unstated* normalizations, so they cannot be compared:
+
+- **96.09–96.61%** — WiFlow-STD reproduction, **image/bounding-box-normalized** PCK (the looser convention).
+- **81.63%** — an internal MM-Fi number reported as **"torso-PCK"** (tighter).
+- **61.1%** — GraphPose-Fi (arXiv 2511.19105), **standard torso-diameter** PCK on the MM-Fi random split (the academic frontier).
+
+The project has been burned by this twice: a previously-published 92.9% was
+retracted because it used **absolute-pixel** normalization, not torso. Until
+there is *one canonical, documented, tested* PCK definition — and every reported
+number carries the definition it was computed under — no accuracy comparison is
+credible, and the "prove everything" bar cannot be met for the benchmark half of
+the work.
+
+This is measurement infrastructure, not an accuracy claim. The deliverable's job
+is to make the metric **unambiguous and reproducible**, so future numbers are
+comparable and an unlabeled PCK is structurally impossible.
+
+## Decision
+
+Add a metric-locked accuracy harness as a new module
+`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-train/src/accuracy.rs` (404 non-test lines; inline
+deterministic tests bring the file to 708), re-exported at the crate root. It
+**extends, not duplicates** — it reuses `metrics_core`'s geometric primitives
+(`bounding_box_diagonal`, canonical hip indices `CANON_LEFT_HIP/RIGHT_HIP`), so
+there remains exactly one implementation of each geometric reference; the
+existing ADR-155 `pck_canonical` (torso-only) is unchanged and this generalizes
+it.
+
+### Public API
+
+- `enum PckNormalization { TorsoDiameter, BoundingBoxDiagonal, AbsolutePixels(f32) }`
+  — the three conventions the three historical numbers used, now **explicit and
+  selectable**. `.label()` / `.tolerance(...)`.
+- `pck_at(pred, gt, vis, k, norm) -> (correct, total, pck)` — PCK@k =
+  fraction of *visible* keypoints whose predicted-vs-GT distance ≤ the tolerance,
+  where tolerance = `k%` of the chosen normalizer (or an absolute threshold for
+  `AbsolutePixels`).
+- `mpjpe(pred, gt, vis) -> f32` — mean per-joint position error (2D/3D, coordinate
+  units; mm for mm inputs). Re-exported crate-root as `pck_mpjpe` to avoid
+  colliding with the existing `eval::mpjpe`.
+- `struct PoseAccuracy { pck_at: BTreeMap<u8,f32>, mpjpe, normalization, n_keypoints, n_frames }`
+  — **a reported number always carries its `normalization`**; an unlabeled PCK is
+  structurally impossible to produce through this surface.
+- `struct PoseFrame { pred, gt, visibility }` + `accuracy_report(frames, ks, norm) -> PoseAccuracy`
+  (micro-averaged over keypoints).
+
+### Correctness is proven by hand-computed deterministic tests (no GPU, no data)
+
+The tests construct synthetic keypoint sets whose PCK/MPJPE can be computed by
+hand, and assert the harness matches. Highlights (all pass):
+
+| Test | Construction | Expected |
+|------|--------------|----------|
+| perfect_prediction | pred==gt | PCK=1.0 (all 3 norms), MPJPE=0 |
+| all_just_outside | every error just past τ@20 | PCK=0.0 |
+| half_in_half_out | 2 exact, 2 just outside | PCK=0.5 |
+| **three_normalizations (KEY PROOF)** | identical pred; nose err .06, shoulder .10, hips exact | torso=**0.50**, bbox=**1.00**, abs(.08)=**0.75** |
+| mpjpe_2d / mpjpe_3d | (3,4)→5 / (1,2,2)→3 | 2.5 / 3.0 |
+| mpjpe_excludes_invisible | invisible joint err 100 ignored | 5.0 |
+| zero_torso_unscoreable | coincident hips | `(0,0,0.0)`, **not** false-perfect |
+| no_visible_keypoints | vis=∅ | `(0,0,0.0)` |
+| nan_coords | one NaN pred coord | counted wrong, **no panic** |
+| empty report | no frames | 0.0, **not** NaN |
+| bbox≥torso ordering | same frames | bbox-PCK ≥ torso-PCK |
+
+### The key proof (the ambiguity is real and quantified)
+
+Identical predictions, three declared normalizations → **0.50 / 1.00 / 0.75**.
+Mechanism: the bbox diagonal `√(0.20² + 0.80²) = 0.825` is ~4× the hip-span torso
+`0.20`, so τ@20 is 0.165 (bbox) vs 0.040 (torso) — the looser image-normalized
+convention passes joints the strict torso convention rejects. This is *exactly*
+why 96% / 81.6% / 61% cannot be lined up without declaring the enum, demonstrated
+in-code.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `cargo test -p wifi-densepose-train --no-default-features` → lib **191 → 206**
+  (+15), `test_metrics` **12 → 14** (+2), doc-tests 8 — **0 failed**.
+- `cargo test --workspace --no-default-features` → **exit 0**, 0 failed.
+- `python archive/v1/data/proof/verify.py` → **VERDICT: PASS**, hash
+  `f8e76f21a0f9852b70b6d9dd5318239f6b20cbcb4cdd995863263cecdc446f7a` **unchanged**
+  (off the signal proof path — confirms no pipeline alteration).
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- The three historical PCK numbers can now be **recomputed under one declared
+  definition** and compared honestly. The retracted-number class of error
+  (silent normalization mismatch) is structurally prevented going forward.
+- Establishes the measurement substrate for the beyond-SOTA target: GraphPose-Fi
+  cross-environment **PCK@20 = 12.9%** (standard torso PCK) is now a number this
+  harness can produce comparably.
+
+### Negative
+- None functional. The harness is additive; no existing metric path changed.
+
+### Neutral
+- Producing actual model numbers under this harness requires the trained models +
+  datasets (MM-Fi) and, for cross-domain splits, is the next sub-deliverable of
+  the benchmark/optimization milestone — out of scope here (this ADR is the
+  *instrument*, not the *reading*).

+# 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.

+
+The normalized numeric container (`Modality`, `FieldAxis`, `FieldTensor`) as specified in the implementation crate `rufield-core`.
+
+## 10. Privacy Classes
+
+| Class | Description                      | Example                         |

+
+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).

+
+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.

+
+## 0. PROOF discipline (this ADR's contract)
+
+This project has been publicly accused of "AI slop." This ADR answers with **evidence, not adjectives** — the same contract as ADR-154/156:
+
+- The HNSW index ships a **committed recall@10 correctness gate** (≥ 0.95 vs brute force on a planted-cluster fixture). Low recall means a graph bug; the gate is wired to fail in that case. It **did** fail first — and caught a real index-out-of-bounds bug in the insert path (§4) — which is exactly what a real gate is for.
+- Every QPS/recall number below is **MEASURED** on this box with a committed, deterministic, `--no-default-features`-runnable measurement (`src/ann_measure.rs`, `ann_bench_report`) and a committed criterion bench (`benches/ann_bench.rs`). Both call **one** shared fixture/measurement module, so the bench and the report can never measure different graphs.
+- The **headline result is an honest negative**: at our test scale the SymphonyQG-style quantized variant **does not beat float HNSW at equal recall** — the 1-bit Hamming traversal is too coarse to keep recall up. We report the real numbers, explain *why*, and state the expected large-N crossover. **We did not tune the quantized path to manufacture the 3.5–17× the source claims.** A measured negative + a scale caveat is a valid, publishable result.
+- We are explicit that this is **OUR HNSW + OUR 1-bit quantization, not SymphonyQG's exact system**. It tests the **direction** of the claim on our hardware/data, not a 1:1 reproduction.
+
+Test machine: Windows 11, `cargo test --release`, `std::time::Instant` wall-clock. Numbers are warm medians on this box; the **ratio** is the claim, not the absolute QPS.
+
+Reproduce:
+```bash
+cd v2 && cargo test -p wifi-densepose-ruvector --no-default-features --release \
+  ann_bench_report -- --nocapture
+# Larger N: ANN_BENCH_N=50000 cargo test ... --release ann_bench_report -- --nocapture
+cargo bench -p wifi-densepose-ruvector --bench ann_bench
+```
+
+---
+
+## 1. Context
+
+The ruvector crate's retrieval path — AETHER re-ID hot-cache (ADR-024), the `sketch.rs` 1-bit prefilter (ADR-084), room fingerprinting — is, at its core, an **approximate nearest-neighbour (ANN)** problem: dense float embedding in, top-K similar ids out. But **the crate had no graph index**. Every `topk` was either a linear scan (`O(N·d)` per query) or a 1-bit Hamming prefilter over a linear scan. That is `O(N)` per query and does not scale.
+
+[ADR-156 §5 #1](ADR-156-ruvector-fusion-beyond-sota.md) graded **SymphonyQG** (SIGMOD 2025) the **lead beyond-SOTA ANN candidate**, citing the source's claim of **3.5–17× QPS over HNSW at equal recall**, but marked it **CLAIMED**:
+
+> *"author-measured; **not reproduced on our hardware** — reproduction is future work."*
+
+And ADR-156 §8 was blunt about *why* it could not be reproduced: **there was no HNSW baseline to compare against.** You cannot measure a ratio against a baseline that does not exist. This ADR builds that missing baseline, builds the quantized variant that tests the direction of the SymphonyQG bet, and measures the real ratio.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Decision
+
+1. Add a correct, dependency-free **float HNSW** graph index (`hnsw.rs`): the real Malkov & Yashunin (TPAMI 2018) algorithm — multi-layer navigable small-world graph, `ef_construction` / `ef_search`, the Algorithm-4 neighbour-selection heuristic, seeded-deterministic level assignment, L2 + cosine. This is the **baseline** ADR-156 said was missing.
+2. Add a **SymphonyQG-style quantized-traversal variant** (`hnsw_quantized.rs`): the *same* graph (same seed, same structure), but the beam search scores candidates with a **cheap 1-bit Hamming distance** over the RaBitQ Pass-2 rotated sign code (reusing `rotation.rs` + the sign-quantization of `sketch.rs`), then **exact-float reranks** the final candidate set. This is the SymphonyQG bet — cheaper per-node scoring, recovered by a final exact rerank.
+3. **Measure** linear vs float-HNSW vs quantized-HNSW (recall@10, QPS, equal-recall ratios) on one deterministic planted-cluster fixture, and record the honest verdict against the SymphonyQG 3.5–17× claim.
+
+### Why 1-bit Hamming for the quantized traversal
+
+The crate already had the exact pieces SymphonyQG fuses: a deterministic orthogonal rotation (`rotation.rs`, RaBitQ Pass-2) and sign-quantization (`sketch.rs`). A 1-bit code compares by POPCNT Hamming — a few machine words, no per-dimension float work — so it is the cheapest possible traversal score and the most direct test of "can a quantized score keep the beam on the right path." The cost (measured below): the 1-bit code is a *coarse* angle proxy (ADR-156 §10 measured ~46% strict-K coverage for sign-only), and that coarseness is what limits recall here.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Design
+
+### 3.1 `hnsw.rs` — float HNSW (the baseline)
+
+- **Graph.** `links[id][layer]` adjacency; layer 0 holds every node, higher layers exponentially sparser. `m_max` is `2·M` on layer 0, `M` above (the paper's asymmetric degree cap).
+- **Insert.** Greedy-descend the upper layers to a good entry point, then for each layer from the node's level down to 0: `search_layer` for `ef_construction` candidates, `select_neighbours` (Algorithm 4 — keep a candidate only if it is closer to the new node than to any already-selected neighbour, giving diverse navigable edges), wire bidirectional edges, re-prune any neighbour that overflows `m_max`. The node is pushed into the arrays **before** wiring so every `links[*]` index is valid mid-insert (§4 — the bug the gate caught).
+- **Search.** Greedy-descend layers `>0`, then best-first beam search of width `ef` on layer 0; return the closest `k`. Iterative (explicit heaps + visited set) — **no recursion**, bounded by the beam and the visited set.
+- **Determinism.** Level assignment is the only randomness and is driven by a **seeded SplitMix64** (the exact pattern from `rotation.rs`) — never `Date::now`/OS RNG/unseeded `rand`. Same `(seed, params, insertion order)` ⇒ bit-identical graph and search (pinned by `hnsw_is_deterministic_for_seed`).
+- **Robustness.** Empty index, `k==0`, `k>n`, single node, zero-dim, ragged query, `ef<k` all return cleanly — pinned by `*_no_panic` tests.
+
+### 3.2 `hnsw_quantized.rs` — the SymphonyQG-style variant
+
+Same graph as the float index (identical seed/structure — the **only** variable is the scoring), plus a per-node `ceil(D/8)`-byte 1-bit Pass-2 sign code (`D = next_pow2(dim)`). `search_quantized(query, k, ef, rerank)`:
+1. Encode the query to its 1-bit code (one rotation + sign pack).
+2. Greedy-descend + beam-search the graph scoring every visited node by **POPCNT Hamming** (query-code XOR node-code) — no per-dim float work.
+3. **Exact-float rerank** the top `rerank` Hamming candidates with the true L2/cosine metric, return the best `k`.
+
+### 3.3 Security / robustness
+
+Both indices: bounded **iterative** traversal (no unbounded recursion), no panic on empty/degenerate/ragged/zero-dim input (the metric compares over the shorter prefix; zero-norm cosine returns max distance, not NaN). The 1-bit encode handles padded dims via the existing `Rotation::apply_padded`.
+
+---
+
+## 4. The bug the correctness gate caught (disclosed, not hidden)
+
+The first run of the recall@10 gate **panicked**: `index out of bounds: the len is 33 but the index is 33` in `search_layer`. Root cause: `insert` wired bidirectional edges (`links[nbr][l].push(id)`) **before** pushing the new node's own `links[id]` row into the array. A later traversal step in the *same* insert could hop to a neighbour that now pointed at `id` and read `links[id]` — which did not exist yet. Fix: push the node (with empty per-layer link lists) into `vectors`/`links`/`levels` **up front**, then wire edges into its existing slot. The new node has no incoming edges and empty outgoing lists until wiring, so it is unreachable by the searches that run first — pushing early is safe and keeps every index valid. This is exactly why the recall gate exists: a silent low-recall graph and an out-of-bounds panic are both "slop" the gate forces into the open.
+
+---
+
+## 5. The SymphonyQG claim being tested
+
+| Source | Claim | Grade (before this ADR) |
+|--------|-------|-------------------------|
+| SymphonyQG, SIGMOD 2025 | **3.5–17× QPS over HNSW at equal recall**, via quantization unified with graph traversal, pure-CPU/edge-portable | **CLAIMED** — author-measured, *not reproduced on our hardware (no HNSW baseline existed)* |
+
+The bet: a quantized traversal score is cheap enough — and accurate enough to keep the beam on-path — that you pay far less per visited node and recover the small recall loss with a final exact rerank.
+
+---
+
+## 6. MEASURED results

Graph seed `0x6261524741484E53`, rotation seed `0x5EEDC0DE12345678`. `--release`, warm wall-clock on the test machine. (The fixture and both indices are shared by the criterion bench.)

+
+## 7. Honest verdict
+
+**The HNSW baseline is a decisive win over linear scan: ~25× QPS at recall ≥ 0.99** (ef=16: 0.9945 recall, 25,744 QPS vs linear 1,022 QPS). The correctness gate (recall@10 ≥ 0.95 vs brute force, both L2 and cosine) holds. This is the baseline ADR-156 §5 #1 said did not exist — it now does.
+
+**The SymphonyQG-style quantized variant does NOT beat float HNSW at our scale — direction REFUTED at N=10k.** The 1-bit Hamming traversal is too coarse: its best achievable recall is **0.738** (ef=256, rr=100), and it never reaches even the 0.90 equal-recall point where a fair QPS comparison could be made. Where the quantized score *is* faster (ef=32: ~30–36k QPS, beating float's 25.7k), its recall collapses to 0.16–0.26 — a meaningless win. There is **no equal-recall operating point** at which quantized is faster, so the SymphonyQG 3.5–17× claim is **not reproduced** by our 1-bit construction here.
+
+**Why** (so the negative is understood, not just stated):
+1. The 1-bit sign code is a **coarse angle proxy** — ADR-156 §10 already measured it at ~46% strict-K coverage. Driving graph *traversal* by that coarse score steers the beam onto the wrong nodes, and the exact-float rerank can only recover what the beam actually visited. At N=10k, near-neighbours have nearly-identical sign codes, so Hamming cannot separate them.
+2. At this scale **float distance is already cheap**: one 128-d L2 is a handful of µs; the per-node float compute the quantization saves is small relative to the recall it costs. SymphonyQG's win shows up at **much larger N** (millions), where (a) the float-distance fraction of query time dominates and (b) their *multi-bit RaBitQ-fused* code (not our 1-bit sign code) keeps recall high. **Expected crossover: large N + a higher-bit code.** ADR-156 §10 already measured that a ≤4-bit code reaches ~74% strict coverage vs 1-bit's ~46%, so a multi-bit traversal score is the obvious next lever — deferred, not claimed.
+
+**Caveat (stated plainly):** this is **our** HNSW + **our** 1-bit quantization, not SymphonyQG's system. We tested the *direction* of the claim ("does quantized traversal + rerank beat float HNSW at equal recall?") on our hardware/data and got a **measured no at N=10k**. That neither confirms nor refutes SymphonyQG's own published numbers on their system/scale — it refutes the direction *for our construction at our scale*, and identifies the two levers (scale, code bit-depth) a real reproduction would need.
+

+
+## 8. Validation
+
+- **`cd v2 && cargo test -p wifi-densepose-ruvector --no-default-features --lib`** — **156 passed / 0 failed, 1 ignored** (M1 added 20: 10 `hnsw`, 7 `hnsw_quantized`, 3 `ann_measure`; M2 added 5 multi-bit/scaling tests; `scaling_report` is the `#[ignore]` measurement that produced the §11 table).
+- **`cargo test --workspace --no-default-features`** — GREEN (see §10 for the count).
+- **Correctness gate verified to bite:** the recall@10 gate **panicked** on the first (buggy) insert path (§4); after the fix it passes at 0.99+ recall (L2 and cosine).
+- **`cargo test -p wifi-densepose-ruvector --no-default-features --release ann_bench_report -- --nocapture`** — prints the §6 table; the numbers above are copied verbatim from that run.
+- **`cargo bench -p wifi-densepose-ruvector --bench ann_bench`** — compiles and runs the same fixture through criterion.
+- **`python archive/v1/data/proof/verify.py`** — **VERDICT: PASS** (the Rust ANN work is independent of the Python signal-proof pipeline; hash unchanged).
+
+---
+
+## 9. Consequences
+
+**Positive.** ruvector now has a real, deterministic, pure-Rust HNSW graph index (25× over linear scan at high recall) usable by the AETHER re-ID / sketch-prefilter path — the ANN substrate ADR-156 §5 #1 wanted. The SymphonyQG claim is no longer CLAIMED-only: we built the missing baseline and **measured** the direction, with the bug-caught-by-the-gate disclosed.
+
+**Negative / honest.** The 1-bit quantized variant is **not** an equal-recall QPS win at our scale; it is shipped as a measured experiment with a clearly-stated ceiling, not as a recommended default. Anyone reaching for it must read §7.
+
+**Resolved by Milestone-2 (§11, MEASURED — no longer deferred).**
+- **Multi-bit traversal score** — implemented (`b ∈ {1,2,4}` bits/dim over the Pass-2 rotated coordinates) and measured. It *does* lift quantized recall (at N=10k, b=4 reaches the 0.90 equal-recall regime where 1-bit could not), but still does not beat float HNSW QPS.
+- **Large-N crossover measurement** — measured at N ∈ {10k, 100k, 250k}. **The predicted large-N crossover did NOT materialize — it moved the wrong way** (quant recall *collapses* as N grows). See §11.
+
+**Deferred (not silently dropped).**
+- **Wiring HNSW into the live re-ID path** (AETHER hot-cache / sketch prefilter) behind a flag.
+- **N ≥ 1M + SymphonyQG's exact RaBitQ-fused construction** — our impl refutes the *direction* at ≤250k; a true 1:1 reproduction at million-scale with their fused codes remains a separate, larger build.
+
+---
+
+## 10. What changed, file by file
+
+- `hnsw.rs` (new) — float HNSW: graph, seeded-deterministic level assignment, Algorithm-2 beam search, Algorithm-4 neighbour selection, L2/cosine, brute-force ground truth, full degenerate-case guards; 10 tests incl. the recall@10 correctness gate (L2 + cosine) and determinism. The insert-order bug fix (§4).
+- `hnsw_quantized.rs` (new) — SymphonyQG-style quantized-traversal index over the shared graph: 1-bit Pass-2 code per node, Hamming-scored greedy + beam, exact-float rerank; 7 tests incl. the rerank-recall gate and determinism.
+- `ann_measure.rs` (new) — shared deterministic fixture + recall/QPS measurement for linear / float-HNSW / quant-HNSW, the `ann_bench_report` test (the §6 source of truth), `ANN_BENCH_N` override.
+- `benches/ann_bench.rs` (new) + `Cargo.toml` `[[bench]]` — criterion bench over the same fixture/indices.
+- `lib.rs` — `pub mod hnsw / hnsw_quantized / ann_measure`; re-export `HnswIndex`, `HnswParams`, `Metric`, `QuantizedHnswIndex`.
+- `ADR-156-ruvector-fusion-beyond-sota.md` §5 #1 + §8 backlog — SymphonyQG regraded **CLAIMED → MEASURED-direction-tested (refuted at N=10k for our 1-bit construction)**, pointing here.
+- `CHANGELOG.md` — `[Unreleased]` entry.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Milestone-2 — multi-bit traversal + large-N scaling study (MEASURED)
+
+M1 (§7) refuted the SymphonyQG direction at N=10k with a 1-bit code, and *predicted* a crossover at "large N + a higher-bit code." M2 builds both levers and measures them — so the prediction is tested, not assumed.
+
+**Built:** `hnsw_quantized.rs` generalized from 1-bit to a **`b`-bit-per-dimension** code (`b ∈ {1,2,4}`, a mid-rise quantizer over the same `RANGE=3.0` rotated coordinates as ADR-156 §10's `measure_multibit`); `ann_measure.rs` gained `run_scaling_study` / `best_float_op` / `best_quant_op` + a deterministic `scaling_report` (`#[ignore]`, `--release`) and a CI-safe `scaling_study_small_is_consistent`. Memory: **16 / 32 / 64 bytes/node** for b = 1 / 2 / 4.
+
+**MEASURED** (dim=128, 64 clusters, 200 queries, K=10, L2, M=16, ef_construction=200, seeded, `--release`, this box; target recall ≥ 0.90):
+
+| N | bits | B/node | quant best recall | float @ target | quant @ target | quant/float |
+|--:|--:|--:|--:|--|--|--:|
+| 10,000 | 1 | 16 | 1.000 | 23,155 QPS @ r=0.995 | 4,482 QPS @ r=0.965 | **0.19×** |
+| 10,000 | 2 | 32 | 1.000 | 23,155 QPS @ r=0.995 | 10,658 QPS @ r=0.908 | **0.46×** |
+| 10,000 | 4 | 64 | 1.000 | 23,155 QPS @ r=0.995 | 11,217 QPS @ r=0.946 | **0.48×** |
+| 100,000 | 1 / 2 / 4 | 16/32/64 | 0.207 / 0.346 / 0.788 | 2,493 QPS @ r=0.938 | none (never ≥ 0.90) | — |
+| 250,000 | 1 / 2 / 4 | 16/32/64 | 0.108 / 0.210 / 0.624 | 1,593 QPS @ r=0.925 | none | — |
+
+**Verdict — NO crossover at any measured (N, b) up to 250k, and the trend REFUTES the large-N prediction:**
+1. **Multi-bit helps at small N but not enough.** At N=10k, more bits lift the equal-recall QPS ratio 0.19× → 0.46× → 0.48× (and let b≥2 actually *reach* the 0.90 bar that 1-bit missed) — but quant stays **below 1.0×**, i.e. slower than float HNSW at equal recall.
+2. **The predicted large-N crossover moved the wrong way.** As N grows 10k → 100k → 250k, quant's best achievable recall **collapses** (b=4: 1.000 → 0.788 → 0.624) and never reaches the 0.90 comparison point, while float HNSW holds ≥0.92. A denser graph packs near-neighbours whose low-bit codes are nearly identical, so the approximate score steers the beam off-path faster than the bigger float-distance savings can repay. The "crossover at millions" intuition is **not supported by our construction's trend** — if anything it diverges.
+3. **Caveat unchanged:** this is our HNSW + our per-node multi-bit code, not SymphonyQG's RaBitQ-fused graph. The result refutes the *direction* for our construction at ≤250k; it does not disprove their published numbers on their system at their scale. A real 1:1 reproduction is the deferred million-scale build.
+
+This is a **published negative with the mechanism explained** — the multi-bit + scaling levers were built and measured rather than asserted, and the honest outcome (no crossover, trend diverging) is recorded, not hidden.

+# ADR-262: RuField MFS ↔ RuView integration — a live SensingServerAdapter, a privacy/provenance bridge, MAPPED not papered-over
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **Status** | Proposed — **P1 + P3 implemented** (live `/api/field` + `/ws/field`; P3 signs with a **dedicated dev/sensing key**, deferring the §8 Q1 `cog-ha-matter` key-ownership decision to P2) |
+| **Date** | 2026-06-14 |

+| **Relates to** | ADR-260 (RuField MFS spec + v0.1 reference stack), ADR-261 (RuVector graph-ANN), ADR-141 (BFLD privacy control-plane / modes / attestation), ADR-137 (fusion-engine quality scoring / contradiction), ADR-032 (multistatic mesh security hardening / witness), ADR-116 (cog tamper-evident audit log — `cog-ha-matter` SHA-256+Ed25519), ADR-095/096 (`rvcsi` vendored-submodule precedent) |

The privacy/provenance reconciliation is the crux. |
+
+---
+
+## 0. PROOF discipline (this ADR's contract)
+
+This project has been publicly accused of "AI slop." This ADR answers with **evidence, not adjectives** — every "RuView already does X" carries a `file:line`, and every external/SOTA claim is graded.
+
+- **No accuracy is claimed.** RuField v0.1 is **SYNTHETIC** end-to-end by its own admission (ADR-260 "Honest statement", line 386–390: *"Every metric here is simulator-based. No ESP32 CSI, mmWave, or thermal capture was used."*). RuView's only real-CSI rufield path today would be **replay of recorded `.csi.jsonl`, unlabeled** — `rufield-adapters::CsiReplayAdapter`'s own module doc (`vendor/rufield/crates/rufield-adapters/src/csi_replay.rs:19-31`) states it is *"real signal, replay from file not live hardware, unlabeled ⇒ proxy not validated accuracy."* This ADR therefore proposes **plumbing**, and grades its own claims as "ARCHITECTURE" (a design decision, testable by a round-trip/compile gate) vs "ACCURACY" (which it explicitly does not assert).
+- The privacy/provenance section reports an **honest conflict**: RuView has **three** witness mechanisms across two hash algorithms, and **two** privacy enums, none of which map 1:1 onto RuField's P0–P5. We map them and recommend the cleanest reconciliation rather than asserting they already align.
+- Each phase below ships an **independently testable gate** (a round-trip test, a privacy-monotonicity test, a signature-verify test) so the integration is provable, not aspirational.
+
+---
+
+## 0.1 Implementation status
+
+**P1 (§4) is implemented** as the `wifi-densepose-rufield` bridge crate (`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-rufield/`, a new v2 workspace member; path-deps the `vendor/rufield` submodule per §5.4):
+
+- **Input** — `SensingSnapshot` (owned primitives mirroring `SensingUpdate` features/classification/signal_field joined with the `TrustedOutput` `trust_class`/`demoted`/`identity_bound`); the bridge does **not** depend on `wifi-densepose-sensing-server` (anti-corruption layer).
+- **Conversion** — `snapshot_to_field_event(&snap, &Signer)` emits a signed `FieldEvent` (`Modality::WifiCsi`, axis `[Frequency]`, real `timestamp_ns`); position derived from the signal-field peak when present (never fabricated); real sha256 `ProvenanceRef` + ed25519 signature, `synthetic = false`.
+- **Privacy (§3.3 crux)** — `map_privacy()` maps by information content, **fail-closed**: `Raw → P0`, `Derived → P4` (or `P5` if identity-bound — **never P1**), `Anonymous → P2`, `Restricted → P2`; a `demoted` cycle floors egress to ≥ P2.
+- **Gates that pass** (`tests/p1_gates.rs`, 15 tests / 0 failed = 5 unit + 9 integration + 1 doc): round-trip (snapshot → `FieldEvent` → serde → equal); `is_fusable` (verified ed25519 receipt); `RuFieldFusion::ingest` accept + `infer()` runs; **privacy-safety** (`gate_privacy_safety_derived_never_maps_to_low_privacy` — `Derived → P4/P5`, never P1; full §3.3 table; fail-closed demotion); determinism (same snapshot + same signer seed → byte-identical event).
+
+**P3 (§4) is implemented** as the live RuField surface in `wifi-densepose-sensing-server` (the bridge is now wired into the running server):
+
+- **Tap** — at the ESP32 governed-trust cycle (`main.rs` `observe_cycle` ~`:5886` / `SensingUpdate` build ~`:5938`), a new `emit_rufield_event` joins the cycle's `SensingUpdate` (features / classification / signal_field) with the engine's recorded `effective_class` / `demoted` trust state into a `wifi_densepose_rufield::SensingSnapshot`, then `snapshot_to_field_event(&snap, &signer)`. Existing endpoints (`/ws/sensing` etc.) are **unchanged** — purely additive.
+- **Surface** — `GET /api/field` (latest signed `FieldEvent`s + signer pubkey + a `dev_signing_key` flag) and `GET /ws/field` (broadcast stream, mirroring `/ws/sensing`), both mounted on the HTTP port and `/ws/field` also on the WS port. A small bounded ring buffer (`FIELD_RING_CAPACITY = 64`) holds recent **network-surfaced** events. New handler code lives in `src/rufield_surface.rs`, not in the 8k-line `main.rs`.
+- **Signer (defers the P2 key decision)** — a **dedicated standalone `Signer`** held in server state, seeded from `WDP_RUFIELD_SIGNING_SEED` (64-hex or ≥32-byte value), else a deterministic dev default with a logged `WARN`. Reusing the `cog-ha-matter` Ed25519 key (§8 Q1) is the **deferred P2** decision — P3 uses a standalone sensing key so it does not pre-empt that call.
+- **Egress privacy (fail-closed)** — `network_egress_allowed` is *stricter* than `DefaultPrivacyGuard` for an unattended live surface: only **P1/P2** leave the box; P0 (raw) and P3/P4/P5 (identity/biometric/aggregate above the default P2 ceiling) are held edge-local. A `Derived` cycle maps to P4/P5 and is therefore **never** surfaced. No-presence cycles emit nothing (no phantom events).
+- **Gates that pass** (`tests/rufield_surface_test.rs`, 4 integration via `tower::oneshot` + 4 module unit, 0 failed): a well-formed **signed** event (`Modality::WifiCsi`, P2 not P1, `is_fusable` ed25519-verified, real timestamp); **empty cycle → no phantom**; **privacy-safety** — an injected `Derived` trust never surfaces on `/api/field`; a mixed stream surfaces only egress-safe events.
+
+**Deferred:** the §3.3 *provenance carrier* recommendation (reuse the `cog-ha-matter` SHA-256+Ed25519 chain + embed the BLAKE3 engine witness) is **not** in P1/P3 — both take a dedicated `Signer` (the §8 open question 1 key-ownership decision is unresolved; P3 uses a standalone dev/sensing key precisely so it does not pre-empt P2). P2's `cog-ha-matter` key reuse + BLAKE3-embed, and P4 (multi-modality), remain future work. **No accuracy is claimed** (§0 / §6) — P1/P3 are tested plumbing on a live endpoint + a safe privacy mapping; the live surface is single-link CSI with its existing caveats (no validated room-coordinate accuracy — `field_localize`).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Context — two architectures, mapped
+
+### 1.1 RuField MFS (ADR-260, `vendor/rufield/`)
+
+A standalone pure-Rust Cargo workspace (serde, serde_json, toml, sha2, ed25519-dalek; **no tch/ndarray/candle**), vendored here as a git submodule (`git submodule status vendor/rufield` → `ba66e2e…`), **not** a v2 workspace member — exactly the `vendor/rvcsi` precedent (ADR-095/096). **Not published to crates.io**: every internal dep is a path dep with a nominal `version = "0.1.0"` (`vendor/rufield/Cargo.toml:31-37`); the `docs.rs/rufield-*` URLs are aspirational.
+
+The data model (graded ARCHITECTURE, evidence read directly):
+
+- **`FieldEvent`** (`vendor/rufield/crates/rufield-core/src/event.rs:96-112`): `spec_version, event_id, timestamp_ns: u64, sensor: SensorDescriptor, tensor: FieldTensor, observation: Observation, provenance: ProvenanceRef`.
+- **`Observation`** (`event.rs:25-51`): `zone_id, space_cell, range_m, velocity_mps, motion_vector, confidence: f32, features: BTreeMap<String,f32>` (the derived P1 scalars the fusion engine actually reads), `labels: Vec<String>` (ground-truth, **never read by fusion**), `privacy_class: PrivacyClass`.
+- **`PrivacyClass`** (`rufield-core/src/privacy.rs:8-25`): `P0..P5`, `#[serde(rename_all="UPPERCASE")]`, `Ord` by declaration order so **P0 < P1 < … < P5** — higher = more private; `level()->u8` returns 0..=5 (`privacy.rs:27-40`).
+- **`ProvenanceRef`** (on-wire, `event.rs:73-93`): `raw_hash, firmware_hash` (`sha256:…`), `model_id, calibration_id, synthetic: bool`, optional `signature_hex` / `signer_pubkey_hex` (detached ed25519).
+- The four traits (`rufield-core/src/traits.rs`): **`FieldAdapter`** (`:26-38`, `next_event() -> Result<Option<FieldEvent>>`), **`FieldEncoder`** (`:41-51`, **unimplemented in v0.1** — an open seam), **`FusionEngine`** (`:54-63`, `ingest(event)` + `infer(&query)`), **`PrivacyGuard`** (`:86-97`, `authorize(class, Destination, consent, identity_bound) -> PrivacyDecision{Allow|Deny|RequiresConsent}`).
+- **`CsiReplayAdapter`** (`rufield-adapters/src/csi_replay.rs`): constructed from **already-loaded text** (`from_jsonl(&str)` `:249-251`; `from_jsonl_with(text, device_id, &[u8;32])` `:254-323`) — **not** a path/`Read`/`Iterator`. Deserializes `CsiFrameRecord { timestamp: f64 (seconds), subcarriers: Vec<f64> }` (`:74-80`), buffers all frames into a `Vec<CsiFrame>`, then streams via a cursor (`next_event` `:550-557`). Maps each frame → `FieldEvent` with `Modality::WifiCsi`, axes `[Frequency]`, a Welford motion proxy, observation `privacy_class = P2 if presence else P1` (`:439-443`), real `sha256` raw-hash, and a **real ed25519 signature** (`signer.sign_event` `:507-510`). `max_privacy_class = P2`.
+- **`RuFieldFusion`** (`rufield-fusion/src/engine.rs:55-78`): `ingest()` **rejects non-fusable events on its first line** — `if !is_fusable(&event) { return Err(NotFusable) }` (`:212-215`) — then reads `event.observation.features` into a bounded temporal window; `infer()` applies TOML rules (`WeightedBayes` noisy-OR / `TemporalWindow`) → `Vec<FieldInference>`. TOML rule struct: `inputs, method, feature, threshold, privacy_max, window_ms, requires_consent` (`rules.rs:17-35`).
+- **`is_fusable`** (`rufield-provenance/src/lib.rs:179-184`): `synthetic == true` **OR** `verify_event().is_ok()` — the §11 invariant. Signing key is `ed25519_dalek 2.1`, deterministic from a 32-byte seed; raw hash is `sha256_hex` → `"sha256:<hex>"` (`:26-35`).
+- **`DefaultPrivacyGuard`** (`rufield-privacy/src/lib.rs:38-110`): default `network_max = P2`, `allow_p0_network = false`. P5-no-identity → `Deny`; P4-no-consent → `RequiresConsent`; `EdgeLocal` → `Allow`; `Network` denies P0 and `class > network_max`.
+- **`rufield-viewer`** (Axum 0.7): **self-contained, consumes `SyntheticSim` only** — all routes are read-only GET/SSE (`GET /api/run`, `GET /events`); **there is no ingest endpoint** (`vendor/rufield/crates/rufield-viewer/src/server.rs:63-72`). Feeding it a live stream requires adding a route.
+
+### 1.2 RuView (the integration target)
+
+- **Sensing-server is Axum** (`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/src/main.rs:7498-7629`), two listeners (WS `:8765`, HTTP). CSI does **not** arrive over WS/HTTP — it arrives over **UDP** from ESP32 nodes (`use tokio::net::UdpSocket`, `main.rs:53`; `recv_from` loop `main.rs:5286-5299`), parsed by magic `0xC511_0001` → **`Esp32Frame`** (`types.rs:84-100`: `node_id, n_subcarriers, ppdu_type, amplitudes: Vec<f64>, phases: Vec<f64>`, rssi/freq/sequence) → pushed into per-node `NodeState.frame_history: VecDeque<Vec<f64>>` (`main.rs:441-497`).
+- **`/ws/sensing` emits a `SensingUpdate`** (`main.rs:267-317`), broadcast over a `tokio::sync::broadcast` channel (`s.tx.send(json)` `main.rs:5938-5991`; the WS handler just subscribes and forwards, `main.rs:3021-3073`). `SensingUpdate` carries `nodes`, `features`, `classification {motion_level, presence, confidence}`, `signal_field`, `persons: Vec<PersonDetection>` (17 COCO keypoints + `position:[f64;3]` from `field_localize`, `main.rs:403-428`), pose, vitals. **`field_localize` (PR #1050) is a module, not a route** (`mod field_localize` `main.rs:17`; honesty caveat `field_localize.rs:16-27` — a single ESP32 link cannot resolve true room position, `position` is "strongest field peak").
+- **ruvsense fusion is strictly WITHIN-WiFi-modality.** `MultistaticFuser::fuse(&[MultiBandCsiFrame]) -> FusedSensingFrame` (`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-signal/src/ruvsense/multistatic.rs:285-288`) attention-weights **multiple WiFi CSI nodes/viewpoints** (every input is ESP32 CSI; `multistatic_bridge.rs:50-62` builds the frames from `NodeState` amplitude with `HardwareType::Esp32S3`). `coherence_gate.rs:18-37` is the `GateDecision{Accept|PredictOnly|Reject|Recalibrate}`; `pose_tracker.rs:255-263` is the 17-keypoint Kalman tracker with 128-dim AETHER re-ID; `field_model.rs:301-308` does SVD room-eigenstructure perturbation extraction. **No camera/mmWave/audio enters this path** — ruvsense is a multi-link WiFi-CSI fuser.
+- **The governed-trust cycle** runs in the separate **`wifi-densepose-engine`** crate. `StreamingEngine::process_cycle` (`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-engine/src/lib.rs:409`, `run_cycle` `:434-533`) produces **`TrustedOutput`** (`:82-112`): `semantic_id, quality: QualityScore, effective_class: PrivacyClass, demoted: bool, provenance: SemanticProvenance, witness: [u8;32]` (BLAKE3 over `evidence‖model‖calibration‖privacy_decision‖class`, `witness_of` `:598-613`), `recalibration_recommended`. **Crucially, none of this trust metadata is on the `SensingUpdate` wire today** — it is exposed only out-of-band on `GET /api/v1/status` (`main.rs:4173-4178`) and as a single live effect: `EngineBridge::suppress_raw_outputs()` strips per-node amplitude when `effective_class >= Restricted` (`engine_bridge.rs:240-243`, applied `main.rs:5908-5932`). The honest scope is stated in `engine_bridge.rs:14-27`: the governed engine runs *alongside* the bare fusion path; derived outputs are "published ungoverned."

+1. **Build a thin RuView-side bridge crate `wifi-densepose-rufield`** (a new v2 workspace member) that depends on `vendor/rufield/crates/rufield-core` (+ `rufield-provenance`, `rufield-privacy`, `rufield-fusion`) **via path** — mirroring the `vendor/rvcsi` pattern. RuView does **not** depend on published rufield crates (there are none) and does **not** vendor rufield into the v2 workspace; rufield stays a standalone submodule and the bridge is the only coupling point (an anti-corruption layer).
+2. **Emit `FieldEvent`s from the live server via an in-process `SensingServerAdapter`**, not by re-using the file-based `CsiReplayAdapter` on the hot path. The bridge taps the existing `SensingUpdate` build site and the `EngineBridge` trust state, joins them, and emits one signed `FieldEvent` per cycle on a new `tokio::broadcast` topic / optional `/ws/field` endpoint. `CsiReplayAdapter` is retained for the **offline/replay** path (recorded `.csi.jsonl` → events) because it already reads RuView's recording format (`recording.rs` writes `{session}.csi.jsonl`).
+3. **Compose the two fusion engines vertically, do not merge them.** ruvsense stays the **WiFi-modality node** (multi-link fusion → one fused WiFi belief); rufield-fusion sits **above** it as the **cross-modality** graph. ruvsense's `FusedSensingFrame`/`TrustedOutput` becomes one `FieldEvent` (modality `wifi_csi`); rufield fuses it against future mmWave/thermal/`rvcsi` events. They do not conflict because ruvsense has no cross-modality fusion to collide with (§1.2 evidence).
+4. **Reconcile privacy/provenance with ONE canonical model + a documented mapping** (§3, the crux): RuView's `effective_class` is the **source of truth**, mapped onto RuField `PrivacyClass` at the bridge; RuView's existing **`cog-ha-matter` SHA-256+Ed25519 witness chain** (already RuField's exact crypto) is adopted as the carrier for RuField `ProvenanceReceipt`, with the live BLAKE3 engine witness embedded as a hashed field. We do **not** maintain two parallel signed-receipt systems.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Privacy & provenance reconciliation (the crux)
+
+This is the most important section. RuView and RuField genuinely **overlap and partially conflict**. We map both honestly.
+
+### 3.1 What RuView actually has (implemented, with evidence)
+
+- **TWO privacy enums, not one ladder.** `PrivacyClass` — **4 variants** `Raw=0, Derived=1, Anonymous=2, Restricted=3` (`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-bfld/src/lib.rs:103-116`, `#[repr(u8)]`, higher byte = more private, **non-monotonic in information** — `Derived=1` carries *more* identity than `Anonymous=2`). And `PrivacyMode` — **5 variants** `RawResearch, PrivateHome, EnterpriseAnonymous, CareWithConsent, StrictNoIdentity` (`bfld/src/privacy_mode.rs:18-31`), each mapping to a `PrivacyClass` via `target_class()` (`:63-70`; two modes collapse to `Anonymous`).
+- **THREE witness mechanisms across TWO hash algorithms:**
+  - BFLD `PrivacyAttestationProof` — **BLAKE3, unsigned**, attests mode/class continuity only; **built but NOT on the live path** (ADR-141 status line ~597; `bfld/src/privacy_mode.rs:121-148`).
+  - Engine-cycle `TrustedOutput.witness: [u8;32]` — **BLAKE3, unsigned**, over the full trust decision; **LIVE every cycle** (`wifi-densepose-engine/src/lib.rs:598-613`).
+  - `cog-ha-matter::WitnessChain` — **SHA-256 hash chain + Ed25519 signatures** (`v2/crates/cog-ha-matter/src/witness.rs:138-151`; `witness_signing.rs:39-76`), JSONL-persisted, `verify()` + `verify_signature()`. Implemented for ADR-116 (cog/Matter audit log); **standalone, not wired to BFLD/engine**. Its `WitnessHash` newtype doc explicitly anticipates a hash-algo migration (`witness.rs:37-41`).
+- **No numeric trust score.** "Trust" in code = `base_coherence: f32∈[0,1]` + `penalized_coherence()` (`signal/.../fusion_quality.rs:99,122-126`) + a **boolean** `forces_privacy_demotion()` (`:116`). Demotion is monotonic and irreversible (`demote_one` clamps at Restricted, `engine/src/lib.rs:617-619`).
+- **Structured provenance exists, but no signed "receipt" on the sensing path.** `SemanticProvenance { evidence, model_version, calibration_version, privacy_decision }` (`v2/crates/wifi-densepose-worldgraph/src/model.rs:137-147`) is attached to every belief and is the *input* to the BLAKE3 witness — but it is unsigned and not called a receipt.
+
+### 3.2 Side-by-side, graded
+
+| Dimension | RuView (file:line) | RuField | Alignment |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Privacy ladder | `PrivacyClass` 4 (`bfld/lib.rs:103`) **or** `PrivacyMode` 5 (`bfld/privacy_mode.rs:18`) | `PrivacyClass` 6 (P0–P5, `rufield-core/privacy.rs:8`) | **PARTIAL→CONFLICT** — no clean 1:1; counts differ (4/5 vs 6); RuView class ordering non-monotonic |
+| Demotion direction | higher = more private, irreversible (`engine/lib.rs:617`) | higher P# = more private, `Ord` by decl order (`privacy.rs:8-25`) | **STRONG** (same direction) |
+| Provenance receipt | `SemanticProvenance` unsigned (`worldgraph/model.rs:137`) | `ProvenanceRef` + ed25519 (`event.rs:73`) | **PARTIAL** — structured but unsigned |
+| Witness crypto (live path) | BLAKE3 `[u8;32]`, unsigned (`engine/lib.rs:598`) | sha256 + ed25519 (`rufield-provenance/lib.rs:26,135`) | **CONFLICT** (algo + signing) |
+| Witness crypto (cog-ha-matter) | **SHA-256 + Ed25519** (`cog-ha-matter/witness.rs`, `witness_signing.rs`) | **sha256 + ed25519** | **STRONG** — RuField's exact crypto, already in-repo, but unwired and in another bounded context |
+| Trust / confidence | `penalized_coherence: f32` + boolean demote (`fusion_quality.rs:122`) | `confidence: f32` per observation | **WEAK** — RuView has no graded trust object; confidence maps, demotion is binary |
+
+### 3.3 The recommendation (the key call)
+
+**Adopt ONE canonical model with a documented, lossy-but-monotonic mapping — do not run two parallel schemes.** Concretely:
+
+1. **Privacy: RuView `effective_class` is the source of truth; the bridge maps it onto RuField `PrivacyClass`** at the egress boundary. The honest mapping (graded ARCHITECTURE — it is a *policy* decision, and it is **monotonicity-testable**, not an accuracy claim):
+
+   | RuView `PrivacyClass` | → RuField | Rationale |
+   |---|---|---|
+   | `Raw` (raw CSI amplitude) | `P0` | raw waveform |
+   | `Derived` (identity embedding, LAN-only) | `P4` *(or P5 if identity-bound)* | derived **identity** features ⇒ biometric/identity tier, **not** P1 — RuView's non-monotonic `Derived=1` is the trap; map by *information content*, not byte value |
+   | `Anonymous` (occupancy/aggregate) | `P2`/`P3` | occupancy → P2, room-count aggregate → P3 |
+   | `Restricted` (zeroized) | `P2`-capped, raw suppressed | matches `suppress_raw_outputs` (`engine_bridge.rs:240`) |
+
+   The bridge **must** map `Derived → P4/P5`, never P1, because RuView's `Derived` carries `identity_embedding` (§3.1) — this is the single most dangerous mapping mistake and gets a dedicated test (P2 in §4). `PrivacyMode` (5) is the better *operator-facing* join to RuField's 6 levels but the **class** is what gates egress, so the class mapping is canonical.
+
+2. **Provenance: adopt `cog-ha-matter`'s SHA-256+Ed25519 chain as the carrier for RuField `ProvenanceReceipt`** — it is already RuField's exact crypto (graded STRONG above), already implemented, already tamper-evident. The bridge constructs the RuField `ProvenanceRef` by: `raw_hash = sha256(csi bytes)`, `model_id`/`calibration_id` from `SemanticProvenance`, and **embeds the live BLAKE3 engine witness `[u8;32]` as a hashed provenance field** (it is already computed every cycle — do not throw it away), then **signs with ed25519** so `is_fusable` passes for live (non-synthetic) events. We do **not** add a second BLAKE3-vs-ed25519 argument: BLAKE3 stays RuView's internal fast cycle-fingerprint; ed25519 is the *external* attestation RuField requires. One signer, one chain.
+
+3. **Trust: map `penalized_coherence` → `Observation.confidence`; keep demotion binary.** RuView has no graded trust object to reconcile; the coherence scalar is the honest analog and the demotion boolean already drives `effective_class`.
+
+This is a **bridge-with-canonical-source**, not "keep both forever." RuView owns the privacy decision (it has the live governed cycle); RuField owns the *external wire shape* (P0–P5 + signed receipt). The bridge is the one-directional translation, and it is the only place the two schemes meet.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Phased plan (each phase independently shippable + testable)
+
+**P1 — `SensingServerAdapter` emitting `FieldEvent`s (ARCHITECTURE).**
+New crate `wifi-densepose-rufield` with a `SensingServerAdapter` that consumes a `(SensingUpdate, TrustedOutput)` pair (tapped at `main.rs:5886`/`:5938`) and emits a signed `FieldEvent` (`Modality::WifiCsi`, axes `[Frequency]`, observation features from `SensingUpdate.features`, `confidence` from `penalized_coherence`). Offline path: keep `CsiReplayAdapter` for recorded `.csi.jsonl`. **Gate:** a round-trip test — emit a `FieldEvent` from a fixture `SensingUpdate`, assert it serializes, `is_fusable` passes (ed25519-signed), and `RuFieldFusion::ingest` accepts it. No server changes required beyond exposing the tap; the adapter is a library.
+
+**P2 — privacy/provenance bridge (the crux, ARCHITECTURE).**
+Implement the §3.3 mapping: `effective_class → PrivacyClass`, `cog-ha-matter` ed25519 signer for the receipt, BLAKE3 witness embedded. **Gates (three, all monotonicity/safety, not accuracy):** (a) `Derived → P4|P5` never P1 (the dangerous-mapping test); (b) privacy monotonicity — `demoted == true` ⇒ emitted `PrivacyClass >= P2` and raw suppressed; (c) signature round-trip — sign with the cog-ha-matter key, `rufield_provenance::verify_event` passes. This phase is shippable without P3 (events emitted on an internal topic, not yet on the public wire).
+
+**P3 — surface in `/ws` + viewer (ARCHITECTURE).**
+Add an opt-in `/ws/field` endpoint (or a `field_events` array on `SensingUpdate` behind a flag) carrying the signed `FieldEvent` + a privacy badge. Add an ingest route to `rufield-viewer` (it has none today — `server.rs:63-72`) so it can replay RuView's live feed instead of only `SyntheticSim`. **Gate:** a WS integration test asserting a connected client receives a privacy-badged, signature-verifiable `FieldEvent`; a viewer test asserting the new ingest route renders a live event. The `cognitum` appliance can speak RuField by consuming this endpoint (it already runs `ruview-vitals-worker`); deferred to its own ADR.
+
+**P4 — fusion composition + multi-modality (ARCHITECTURE, optional).**
+Wire a second modality (cheapest: an `rvcsi`-sourced event, or recorded mmWave) into `RuFieldFusion` alongside the WiFi event, proving cross-modality fusion above ruvsense. **Gate:** a fusion test with two modalities producing ≥1 cross-modal inference, with provenance coverage 100%.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Decision matrix
+
+### 5.1 Data-path emission (P1)
+
+| Option | Latency | Reuse | Live-fit | Risk | Verdict |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Re-use `CsiReplayAdapter` on hot path | poor (file buffer, `&str` ctor) | high | **bad** — it's a file-cursor, not a live source | low | **Reject for live** (keep for replay) |
+| In-process `SensingServerAdapter` (tap `SensingUpdate`+`TrustedOutput`) | good | medium | **good** — taps the real emit + real trust state | low | **CHOSEN** |
+| Server publishes `FieldEvent` on its own topic (no adapter trait) | good | low | good | medium (bypasses `FieldAdapter` contract) | Reject — loses the trait seam |
+
+### 5.2 Fusion relationship (P3/P4)
+
+| Option | Verdict |
+|---|---|
+| Merge ruvsense into rufield-fusion | **Reject** — different scopes; ruvsense is within-WiFi multi-link, rufield is cross-modality |
+| rufield-fusion wraps ruvsense (vertical compose) | **CHOSEN** — ruvsense → one WiFi `FieldEvent` → rufield cross-modality graph |
+| Run both as peers, reconcile after | Reject — duplicates fusion semantics, two contradiction models |
+
+### 5.3 Privacy/provenance reconciliation (P2)
+
+| Option | Verdict |
+|---|---|
+| (a) Map RuView classes onto RuField P0–P5, RuView canonical | **CHOSEN (privacy)** — `effective_class` is the live source of truth |
+| (b) Adopt RuField ed25519 receipts as RuView's provenance | **CHOSEN (provenance)** — via the already-present `cog-ha-matter` SHA-256+Ed25519 chain |
+| (c) Keep both schemes with a permanent bridge | **Reject** — two signed-receipt systems is the duplication we must not ship |
+
+### 5.4 Dependency direction
+
+| Option | Verdict |
+|---|---|
+| Depend on published rufield crates | **Reject** — not published (`vendor/rufield/Cargo.toml:31-37`) |
+| Make rufield a v2 workspace member | **Reject** — breaks the standalone-spec/`rvcsi` precedent |
+| Thin `wifi-densepose-rufield` bridge → path deps on submodule | **CHOSEN** — anti-corruption layer, single coupling point |
+
+---
+
+## 6. Security & honesty notes
+
+- **No accuracy claim.** Live RuField events from RuView are derived from the same single-link CSI whose own caveats are on record (`field_localize.rs:16-27`); the offline path is unlabeled replay (`csi_replay.rs:19-31`). This ADR ships **plumbing with monotonicity/signature gates**, not validated F1.
+- **The dangerous mapping is `Derived → P1`.** RuView's `Derived` byte value (1) is numerically below `Anonymous` (2) but carries identity (`bfld/lib.rs`); a naive byte-mapping would leak identity-bearing features as low-privacy P1. P2's gate (a) exists specifically to prevent this.
+- **One signer, not two.** Adding a second ed25519 keypair alongside `cog-ha-matter`'s would create two roots of trust. The bridge reuses the cog-ha-matter signing key (`witness_signing.rs`).
+- **`is_fusable` is a real gate, not decoration** (`rufield-provenance/lib.rs:179-184`): live events that fail to sign are rejected by `RuFieldFusion::ingest` — we must not paper over a signing failure with `synthetic = true` on a real event (that would be the §11 invariant violation the spec forbids).
+- BLAKE3 stays internal; ed25519 is the external attestation. We do not relitigate RuView's BLAKE3 cycle-witness — it is embedded, not replaced.
+
+## 7. Consequences
+
+**Positive:** RuView becomes one honest adapter in the larger RuField ecosystem (ADR-260 goal §9) without forking its fusion or privacy engine; the three witness mechanisms get a single external attestation path; cross-modality fusion becomes possible above the existing WiFi fusion; the `cognitum` appliance gains a standard wire format. The bridge is the only coupling point, so rufield can evolve as a standalone spec.
+
+**Negative:** a fourth crate to maintain; the privacy mapping is lossy (4/5 → 6) and must be kept honest by tests; reusing the `cog-ha-matter` key crosses a bounded-context boundary (cog/Matter ↔ sensing) that ADR-116 kept separate — that coupling needs review. The live trust metadata (`witness`, `effective_class`) is **currently decoupled** from `SensingUpdate` (§1.2), so P1 must do real join work, not a field read.
+
+## 8. Open questions
+
+1. **Signer ownership:** should the bridge reuse the `cog-ha-matter` Ed25519 key, or mint a dedicated RuView-sensing key with its own rotation? (Reuse couples bounded contexts; a new key adds a second root of trust.)
+2. **`PrivacyMode` vs `PrivacyClass` as the canonical map target:** class gates egress (chosen), but the 5-mode ladder is the cleaner join to 6 levels — do we expose mode in the receipt too?
+3. **Where does the BLAKE3 engine witness live in the RuField receipt** — a `firmware_hash`-style field, an extension field, or a `CalibrationReceipt.data_hash`? (RuField's `ProvenanceRef` has no spare slot; needs a spec extension or reuse of `model_id`.)
+4. **Should `field_localize` positions ride in `Observation.space_cell`/`motion_vector`** given the explicit single-link caveat, or stay RuView-only until multi-node calibration lands?
+5. **`rvcsi` relationship:** `rvcsi` has its own `CsiFrame`/`CsiWindow` and could implement `FieldAdapter` directly — should the second modality in P4 be `rvcsi`, making RuField the convergence point for *both* vendored sensing runtimes?
+6. **Transport:** RuField ADR-260 §29 leaves default transport open (MQTT/NATS/WS/MCP). RuView is WS + UDP + broadcast; does `/ws/field` suffice, or does the appliance need MQTT to match the cog stack?
+
+## 9. Recommendation
+
+Proceed with P1+P2 behind a feature flag. They are independently shippable, carry real gates (round-trip, monotonicity, signature-verify), and require no change to RuView's fusion or privacy engine — only a tap and a translation. Defer P3/P4 and the appliance/transport questions to follow-up ADRs once the bridge round-trips on recorded `.csi.jsonl` and on one live cycle.

+> **Citation discipline carried in from ADR-152 §2.2:** preprint accuracy numbers are CLAIMED until reproduced on our hardware. The project has already retracted its own "92.9% PCK@20" and "shipped-WiFlow-STD 97.25%" figures after measurement; this brief inherits that bar.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Executive summary
+
+**Where the project stands vs the 2026 frontier.** The repo is, by the evidence already in-tree, *ahead of most academic groups on benchmark hygiene* and roughly *at parity on capability* — but the two are measured on incompatible yardsticks, which is the single biggest risk to any "beyond-SOTA" claim.
+
+- The project's headline reproductions (`benchmarks/wiflow-std/RESULTS.md`) are MEASURED and rigorous: WiFlow-STD retrained to **96.09–96.61% PCK@20** on the authors' own 360k-window 2D dataset (RTX 5080), shipped checkpoint REFUTED, dataset/code defects documented. This is a genuinely strong, reproducible result.
+- **But that number is not on a standard public benchmark.** WiFlow-STD's dataset is self-collected (5 subjects, 15 keypoints, 2D, in-domain random split, hardware unspecified). The academic frontier on the *standard* public 3D benchmark (MM-Fi) reports **PCK@20 ≈ 61% / MPJPE ≈ 161 mm random-split** (GraphPose-Fi, Nov 2025) — a *harder* metric (3D, mm-scale, standard PCK normalization). The project's own AetherArena MM-Fi number (**81.63% torso-PCK@20 in-domain**, ADR-150) uses a *torso-normalized PCK* that is looser than GraphPose-Fi's standard PCK, so the three numbers (96% / 81.6% / 61%) **cannot be lined up** without a unified harness. Making them comparable IS the highest-value work item.
+- The deployment frontier — **cross-subject / cross-environment generalization** — is where everyone collapses, the project included (ADR-150: 81.63% in-domain → ~11.6% leakage-free cross-subject). GraphPose-Fi independently confirms the cliff (61.1% random → 12.9% cross-environment PCK@20). This is the real research target, not in-domain PCK.
+
+**Top 3 highest-value optimization/benchmark targets:**
+
+1. **A unified, metric-locked accuracy harness in `wifi-densepose-train`** that scores any model under *one* explicit PCK definition (normalization, keypoint convention, split) so WiFlow-STD-repro, AetherArena/MM-Fi, and GraphPose-Fi numbers become directly comparable. Without this, no "beyond-SOTA" claim survives the "prove it" bar — the project has already been burned twice by metric ambiguity (the retracted 92.9% used absolute, not torso-normalized, PCK).
+2. **A QAT path for the WiFlow-STD-class edge model.** The in-tree edge work (`RESULTS.md`) has *fully characterized PTQ* (static QDQ conv-only is the int8 sweet spot; dynamic int8 is a no-op on this all-conv architecture) and found the **half model (843k params) strictly dominates the published 2.23M** and **tiny (56k, 295 KB ONNX fp32) holds 94.1% PCK@20**. The one untested lever is **quantization-aware training**, which the general literature says recovers most of the PTQ accuracy gap. That is the next defensible edge win.
+3. **Criterion-backed regression benches wired into CI** for the real Candle/ONNX forward path. The benches *exist* (`wifi-densepose-nn/benches/{inference,onnx,native_conv}_bench.rs`, `wifi-densepose-train/benches/training_bench.rs`) and `benchmarks/edge-latency/RESULTS.md` shows the methodology is sound (host≠ESP32 caveat made explicit). The gap is turning point-in-time captures into committed regression baselines.

+
+## 2. Findings per research question
+
+### RQ1 — Latest WiFi-CSI pose SOTA (2024–2026): published PCK@20 / MPJPE on the standard public benchmarks
+
+The crucial framing: **"WiFi pose SOTA" splits into two non-comparable tracks** — 3D pose on MM-Fi/Person-in-WiFi-3D (mm-scale MPJPE, standard PCK) vs 2D pose on self-collected sets (image-normalized PCK). The project's flagship reproduction lives in the second track; the academic frontier lives in the first.
+
+| Method | Venue / Year | Benchmark + split | PCK@20 | MPJPE | Grade |

+| **GraphPose-Fi** (arXiv [2511.19105](https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.19105)) | PREPRINT, Nov 2025 | MM-Fi P1, **random split** | **61.1%** | **160.6 mm** (PA-MPJPE 105.0) | numbers MEASURED-in-study (preprint); beats MetaFi++, HPE-Li, DT-Pose |

+| **Person-in-WiFi-3D** (CVPR 2024, [openaccess](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/CVPR2024/html/Yan_Person-in-WiFi_3D_End-to-End_Multi-Person_3D_Pose_Estimation_with_Wi-Fi_CVPR_2024_paper.html)) | **PEER-REVIEWED**, CVPR 2024 | own 97k-frame multi-person set | — (multi-person, not single-PCK) | **91.7 mm (1p) / 108.1 (2p) / 125.3 (3p)** 3D joint error | MEASURED (peer-reviewed); own dataset, not MM-Fi |
+| **WiFlow-STD** (arXiv [2602.08661](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.08661), [DY2434 repo](https://github.com/DY2434/WiFlow-WiFi-Pose-Estimation-with-Spatio-Temporal-Decoupling)) | PREPRINT, Apr 2026 | self-collected, 5-subj, **2D, in-domain random** | 97.25% (claimed) | 0.007 m (image-norm) | claimed CLAIMED; **project reproduced 96.09–96.61% (MEASURED, RTX 5080)** after repairing dataset/code |

+| **Project AetherArena** (ADR-150, [issue #876](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/issues/876)) | internal | MM-Fi, **random split**, **torso-PCK** | **81.63% torso-PCK@20** | — | MEASURED-internal; **torso-PCK ≠ GraphPose-Fi standard PCK** |

+
+**How the project's ~96% compares to the frontier:** It is *not directly comparable*. The 96% is on an easier task (2D, in-domain, image-normalized PCK, single-environment, 5 subjects) than GraphPose-Fi's 61.1% (3D, standard PCK, mm-scale). The project's own MM-Fi-track number (81.63% torso-PCK@20) *appears* to beat GraphPose-Fi's 61.1%, **but only because torso-PCK is a looser normalization** — the project explicitly flags this (ADR-150 cites beating "MultiFormer's 72.25%" under the *same* torso metric, not GraphPose-Fi's). The honest statement: **the project is competitive on in-domain MM-Fi under its own torso metric, and collapses cross-subject exactly as the published frontier does.** No public number lets the project claim "beyond-SOTA" today.
+
+### RQ2 — What's winning architecturally now (2025–2026)
+
+The clear trend across the verified 2025–2026 papers:
+
+- **Graph / skeleton-aware decoders are the current academic SOTA on MM-Fi.** GraphPose-Fi (PREPRINT, Nov 2025) wins by injecting anatomical graph structure into the decoder — exactly the `GraphPose-Fi-style skeleton-aware graph head` ADR-150 §2.2 already names as the planned decoder. *The project's architecture direction matches the frontier.*
+- **Self-supervised masked pretraining (MAE) is the cross-domain lever, not capacity.** UNSW MAE study (arXiv [2511.18792](https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.18792), PREPRINT, Nov 2025): cross-domain gains scale **log-linearly with pretraining data, unsaturated at 1.3M samples**; ViT-Base adds only 0.4–0.9% over ViT-Small. Recipe: **80% masking, (30,3) small patches**. DT-Pose (arXiv 2501.09411) independently uses masked pretraining + topology constraints for the domain gap. *Caveat (MEASURED in ADR-152 §2.3): UNSW's downstream tasks are classification, not pose — pose transfer remains a hypothesis. The project's own measurement (b) found WiFlow-STD pretrained features give optimization transfer but NOT feature transfer to ESP32 CSI.*
+- **Spatio-temporal decoupling is the efficiency lever.** WiFlow-STD's whole contribution is decoupling spatial and temporal CSI processing to hit 2.23M params. The project verified the params/FLOPs (MEASURED) and then **beat it**: the half-model (843k) matches accuracy with 0.38× params (`RESULTS.md` efficiency sweep).
+- **Geometry/layout conditioning is the cross-layout lever.** PerceptAlign (MobiCom'26): fusing transceiver-position embeddings + two-checkerboard calibration, claimed −60% cross-domain. ADR-152 §2.1 already adopted this (`NodeGeometry`, geometry embeddings).
+- **NOT winning / absent:** diffusion models for CSI pose did not surface in the verified frontier. Full DensePose-UV regression from commodity WiFi remains undemonstrated (ADR-152 F5, MEASURED by full-text screening). No 2025–2026 paper was found that *beats the project's current direction* — the project is tracking, not trailing, the architecture frontier.
+
+**Verdict RQ2:** the winning stack (MAE pretrain → graph/skeleton decoder → geometry conditioning, ViT-Small-class capacity) is *already the planned ADR-150/152 stack*. The gain available is not a new architecture; it's (a) more heterogeneous pretraining data and (b) honest cross-domain measurement.
+
+### RQ3 — Edge/quantized inference SOTA for small CSI pose models
+
+The in-tree edge work (`benchmarks/wiflow-std/RESULTS.md` "Edge optimization" + "Static PTQ" + "Efficiency sweep") is already at or beyond what the public literature offers for this specific model class, and is MEASURED. Key findings to carry forward:
+
+- **Dynamic INT8 is a trap on all-conv CSI models.** WiFlow-STD has **zero `nn.Linear` layers** (21 Conv1d + 22 Conv2d + BatchNorm). `torch.quantize_dynamic` quantizes 0% of params (dynamic int8 has no conv kernels). MEASURED.
+- **Static QDQ conv-only PTQ is the int8 sweet spot.** PCK@20 96.60–96.63% (vs fp32 96.68%, dynamic 96.52%), 2.53 MB. All-ops QDQ is strictly worse (−1.4 pt). MEASURED.
+- **ONNX Runtime fp32 is the real CPU latency win**: 3.2 ms/window batch-1 vs torch 11.0 ms (~3.4×) at parity (2.4e-7). int8 is ~2× *slower* than ONNX fp32 at batch-1 (ConvInteger kernels). MEASURED.
+- **Smaller-than-published dominates.** half (843k) ≥ full on accuracy; **tiny (56k, 295 KB ONNX fp32, 0.66 ms/win, 94.1% PCK@20)** is the smallest deployable artifact. At tiny scale int8 is a *bad* trade (−1.43 pt for −47 KB). MEASURED.
+- **General QAT-vs-PTQ context (BLOG/VENDOR):** [NVIDIA TensorRT QAT blog](https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/achieving-fp32-accuracy-for-int8-inference-using-quantization-aware-training-with-tensorrt/), [Ultralytics QAT glossary](https://www.ultralytics.com/glossary/quantization-aware-training-qat), [ONNX Runtime quantization docs](https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/performance/model-optimizations/quantization.html): QAT "almost always" recovers accuracy PTQ loses on sensitive models; ONNX Runtime does NOT retrain (QAT must happen in PyTorch, then export QDQ). The [Onboard Optimization survey, arXiv 2505.08793](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.08793) (PREPRINT) covers on-device optimization broadly. These are *general* claims, not CSI-pose-specific — grade accordingly.
+- **Hailo / Pi target (CLAUDE.local.md):** the 4× Pi+Hailo cluster (Hailo-8 @ 26 TOPS / Hailo-10 @ 40 TOPS) needs a **HEF** compile path, which is its own toolchain (not ONNX/Candle). No in-tree HEF benchmark exists yet — this is a genuine gap for the edge-inference claim.
+
+**Actionable for an inference-speed benchmark:** the honest comparand set is `{torch fp32, ONNX fp32, ONNX static-QDQ-conv-only int8, candle fp32}` × `{full, half, tiny}` on a fixed host, with the **host≠ESP32 / host≠Hailo caveat stated up front** (the `edge-latency/RESULTS.md` template already does this correctly). The one new datapoint worth producing: **QAT-int8 on the half model** to test whether QAT closes the PTQ −0.16 pt gap *and* keeps the size win.
+
+### RQ4 — Rigorous, reproducible benchmark methodology
+
+The repo already demonstrates the right methodology in three places — the ADR should codify it, not invent it:
+
+- **`benchmarks/wiflow-std/RESULTS.md`** — the gold standard already in-tree: pinned upstream commit, seed-42 file-level split documented, corruption masks committed as ground truth, every forced deviation recorded, mean-pose honesty baseline, MEASURED-vs-CLAIMED grading.
+- **`benchmarks/edge-latency/RESULTS.md`** — criterion 0.5, explicit host machine, low/median/high brackets, contention caveat, host≠ESP32 separation, steady-state-vs-cold-start distinction.
+- **Rust micro-bench:** criterion benches already exist in both crates (`wifi-densepose-nn/benches/`, `wifi-densepose-train/benches/`).
+
+What a credible "beyond-SOTA" claim requires (the bar that survives "prove it"):
+1. **One locked accuracy definition** — PCK normalization (torso vs absolute vs bbox), keypoint convention (15 vs 17 COCO), and split (random / cross-subject / cross-environment) declared *before* the run. The retracted 92.9% died exactly because PCK normalization was unstated.
+2. **A mean-pose / constant-output honesty baseline** on every split (already done in measurement (b) — a single-subject near-static set scored 95.9% torso-PCK@20 with a *constant* pose). Any claim must beat this.
+3. **MEASURED-vs-CLAIMED grading** per number, with the exact command and raw-JSON path committed.
+4. **Cross-domain, not just in-domain.** In-domain PCK is saturated and uninformative; the defensible claim is on cross-subject/cross-environment, where the frontier is 12–44% PCK@20.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Proposed benchmark-suite design
+
+A two-part suite (`wifi-densepose-train` accuracy harness + `wifi-densepose-nn` latency harness), both committing raw JSON + a graded RESULTS.md.
+
+### 3.1 Accuracy harness (`wifi-densepose-train`)
+
+- **Metric module with one canonical PCK** (parameterized: `{torso, bbox, absolute}` normalization × threshold × keypoint-map), so a single function scores WiFlow-STD-repro, MM-Fi/AetherArena, and a GraphPose-Fi re-run identically. Lock the default to **torso-PCK@20 on 17-kp COCO** and *always* also print standard-PCK to expose the gap.
+- **Fixed datasets/splits:** (i) WiFlow-STD cleaned 360k (their split, for repro parity), (ii) MM-Fi P1 random + cross-subject + cross-environment (to line up against GraphPose-Fi 61.1/44.2/12.9 and the project's 81.63), (iii) ESP32 paired eval set when ≥2k multi-subject windows exist.
+- **Mandatory honesty baselines** emitted every run: mean-pose, constant-output, and (for cross-domain) source-only.
+- **Output:** raw JSON + a RESULTS.md table with MEASURED/CLAIMED grades, mirroring `benchmarks/wiflow-std/RESULTS.md`.
+
+### 3.2 Latency/size harness (`wifi-densepose-nn`)
+
+- **Matrix:** `{torch fp32 (ref), ONNX fp32, ONNX static-QDQ-conv-only int8, candle fp32}` × `{full 2.23M, half 843k, tiny 56k}` × `{batch 1, 64}`, criterion-timed, host declared.
+- **Report:** disk size, batch-1 + batch-64 ms/window (median + low/high), and PCK@20 on the locked 10k-window subset, so latency and accuracy never get cited apart.
+- **Caveat block up front:** host ≠ ESP32-S3/WASM3, host ≠ Hailo HEF. No host number is presented as the edge number.
+- **CI gate:** commit the current medians as regression baselines; fail PRs that regress latency >X% or accuracy >Y pt.
+
+### 3.3 What counts as a defensible "beyond-SOTA" result
+
+A claim is citable only if **all** hold: (1) scored under a pre-declared metric/split, (2) beats the relevant published frontier number *on the same metric definition* (e.g. >61.1% standard-PCK@20 on MM-Fi random, or >12.9% on cross-environment), (3) beats the mean-pose honesty baseline, (4) raw JSON + exact command committed, (5) graded MEASURED. The single most valuable "beyond-SOTA" target is **cross-environment MM-Fi**, where the published bar (12.9% PCK@20) is low enough that a real win is both achievable and unambiguous.

+
+### RuField surface (ADR-262 P3)
+
+RuView's live WiFi-CSI sensing now also speaks the standalone **RuField MFS** wire format. Each governed sensing cycle is converted (via the `wifi-densepose-rufield` anti-corruption bridge) into a **signed** `FieldEvent` (`Modality::WifiCsi`, ed25519 `ProvenanceRef`) and surfaced on two additive endpoints:
+
+- `GET /api/field` — the most recent signed events (JSON).
+- `GET /ws/field` — a WebSocket that streams each cycle's signed event (mirrors `/ws/sensing`).
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/field | python -m json.tool          # latest signed FieldEvents
+python -c "import asyncio,websockets; asyncio.run((lambda: websockets.connect('ws://localhost:8765/ws/field'))())"  # stream
+```
+
+Privacy is fail-closed: only egress-safe **P1/P2** events leave the box — raw (P0) and identity/biometric/aggregate (P3–P5) cycles are held **edge-local** and never appear on these endpoints; a no-presence cycle emits **no event**.
+
+**Signing key:** the surface signs with a **dedicated dev/sensing key**, seeded from `WDP_RUFIELD_SIGNING_SEED` (a 64-char hex string or a ≥32-byte value); when unset it falls back to a deterministic dev default and logs a `WARN` (the `dev_signing_key` flag in `/api/field` reflects this). This is a standalone key pending the ADR-262 §8 Q1 key-ownership decision — set `WDP_RUFIELD_SIGNING_SEED` for any real deployment.
+
+> **Honesty (ADR-262 §0/§6):** this is real plumbing on a live endpoint, **not an accuracy claim.** It is the single-link CSI sensing with its existing caveats (no validated room-coordinate accuracy — positions are the "strongest field peak", not calibrated triangulation).

+ *
+ * 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

+//! # wifi-densepose-rufield
+//!
+//! ADR-262 **anti-corruption bridge**: converts RuView's live WiFi-CSI sensing
+//! output into signed RuField [`FieldEvent`](rufield_core::FieldEvent)s.
+//!
+//! This crate is the **single coupling point** (ADR-262 §5.4) between RuView and
+//! the standalone RuField MFS spec (`vendor/rufield`, ADR-260). It depends on
+//! the four pure-Rust rufield crates **via path** — `rufield-core`,
+//! `-provenance`, `-privacy`, `-fusion` — and on **no** RuView internal crate.
+//! Inputs are owned primitives ([`SensingSnapshot`]) that mirror what RuView's
+//! sensing cycle produces, so the bridge never imports `SensingUpdate` /
+//! `TrustedOutput` directly.
+//!
+//! ## What P1 ships (honesty — ADR-262 §0 / §6)
+//!
+//! This is **P1 plumbing**: a tested `SensingSnapshot → FieldEvent` conversion
+//! plus the **fail-closed privacy mapping** that is the §3.3 correctness item.
+//! It is **not** wired into the live server (that is P3) and makes **no accuracy
+//! claim** — RuField v0.1 is synthetic end-to-end and RuView's single-link CSI
+//! carries its own caveats. The gates here are round-trip / fusability /
+//! privacy-safety / determinism, not validated F1.
+//!
+//! ## The critical correctness item: the privacy mapping (§3.3)
+//!
+//! RuView's `Derived` class has byte value `1` (below `Anonymous = 2`) yet
+//! carries an identity embedding. The bridge maps it to **P4/P5 by information
+//! content, never P1** — see [`map_privacy`]. Mapping off the byte would leak
+//! identity as low-privacy; [`map_privacy`] (and its dedicated test
+//! `derived_identity_never_maps_to_low_privacy`) exist specifically to prevent
+//! that.
+//!
+//! ## Example
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use wifi_densepose_rufield::{
+//!     snapshot_to_field_event, SensingSnapshot, SensingFeatures, SensingClass,
+//!     RuViewPrivacyClass,
+//! };

+//!     features: SensingFeatures {
+//!         mean_rssi: -55.0,
+//!         variance: 0.4,

+//!         motion_level: "low".into(),
+//!         presence: true,
+//!         confidence: 0.82,

+//! };
+//!
+//! let signer = Signer::from_seed(b"adr-262-bridge-seed-32-bytes-ok!");

+//! Deterministic, `--no-default-features`-runnable **ANN benchmark measurement**
+//! for ADR-261 — the single source of truth for the QPS/recall numbers the ADR
+//! quotes for **linear scan**, **float HNSW**, and **quantized HNSW**.
+//!
+//! Both the criterion bench (`benches/ann_bench.rs`) and the in-crate report test
+//! ([`tests::ann_bench_report`]) call into here, so they can never silently
+//! measure different things. The numbers in ADR-261 §6 come from running:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! cd v2 && cargo test -p wifi-densepose-ruvector --no-default-features --release \
+//!   ann_bench_report -- --nocapture
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # What is measured, and the honesty contract
+//!
+//! On one fixed planted-cluster fixture (documented dim/N/K/seed), for each
+//! method we measure:
+//! - **recall@10** vs the brute-force exact top-10 (the ground truth),
+//! - **QPS** = queries / total wall-clock query time (warm; build excluded),
+//! at matched recall operating points found by sweeping `ef` (HNSW) and
+//! `(ef, rerank)` (quantized).
+//!
+//! The reported **ratio** is the claim, not the absolute QPS (which is
+//! machine-specific). We do **not** tune the quantized path to manufacture a
+//! win: if at our scale quantized does not beat float HNSW, the report says so
+//! and the ADR records the honest negative + the expected larger-N crossover.

+//! A correct, dependency-free **float HNSW** graph-ANN index — ADR-261.
+//!
+//! # Why this exists
+//!
+//! The ruvector crate's retrieval path (AETHER re-ID hot-cache, the `sketch.rs`
+//! 1-bit prefilter, room fingerprinting) is, at its core, an **approximate
+//! nearest-neighbour** problem: dense float embedding in, top-K similar ids out.
+//! Until now the crate had **no graph index** — every `topk` was a linear scan
+//! (`O(N·d)` per query) or a 1-bit Hamming prefilter over a linear scan. That is
+//! fine at the small N the unit fixtures use, but it is `O(N)` per query and does
+//! not scale.
+//!
+//! [ADR-156 §5 #1](../../../../../docs/adr/ADR-156-ruvector-fusion-beyond-sota.md)
+//! lists **SymphonyQG** (SIGMOD 2025) as the lead beyond-SOTA ANN candidate,
+//! claiming **3.5–17× QPS over HNSW at equal recall** — but graded that claim
+//! **CLAIMED**, *"not reproduced on our hardware (no HNSW baseline exists to
+//! compare against)."* You cannot measure a ratio against a baseline you do not
+//! have. This module **builds that missing HNSW baseline**; [`crate::hnsw_quantized`]
+//! builds the quantized-rerank variant that tests the *direction* of the
+//! SymphonyQG bet. ADR-261 reports the **measured** ratio.
+//!
+//! # The algorithm (Malkov & Yashunin, TPAMI 2018)
+//!
+//! HNSW = a multi-layer navigable small-world graph. Each inserted point gets a
+//! random **level** `ℓ` (geometrically distributed, mean `1/ln(M)`); it appears
+//! in all layers `0..=ℓ`. Layer 0 holds every point; higher layers are
+//! exponentially sparser "express lanes". A search:
+//!
+//! 1. Enters at the top layer's single entry point.
+//! 2. **Greedy-descends** each layer above 0: repeatedly hop to the neighbour
+//!    closest to the query until no neighbour is closer, then drop a layer.
+//! 3. At layer 0, runs a **best-first beam search** with beam width `ef`,
+//!    keeping the `ef` closest candidates seen, and returns the closest `k`.
+//!
+//! Construction inserts each point by searching for its `ef_construction`
+//! nearest existing neighbours at each of its layers, then connecting it to a
+//! pruned subset chosen by the **neighbour-selection heuristic** (Algorithm 4 in
+//! the paper): prefer neighbours that are closer to the new point than to any
+//! already-selected neighbour, which keeps the graph navigable (diverse edges)
+//! instead of clumping all edges toward one cluster.
+//!
+//! # Determinism (the proof contract)
+//!
+//! Level assignment is the only randomness, and it is driven by a **seeded
+//! SplitMix64** PRNG (the exact pattern from [`crate::rotation`]) — never
+//! `Date::now`, an OS RNG, or `rand` without a seed. Two indices built from the
+//! same `(seed, params, insertion order)` are bit-identical, pinned by
+//! [`tests::hnsw_is_deterministic_for_seed`]. This matters for reproducible
+//! benchmarks: the recall/QPS numbers in ADR-261 must be regenerable.
+//!
+//! # Robustness (no panic on degenerate input)
+//!
+//! Empty index, `k > n`, `k == 0`, a single node, zero-dimension vectors,
+//! ragged-length queries, and `ef < k` are all handled without panicking —
+//! pinned by the `*_no_panic` / degenerate tests. Graph traversal is bounded by
+//! the visited-set and the candidate beam, so there is no unbounded recursion
+//! (the search is iterative, using explicit heaps).

+//! A **SymphonyQG-style quantized-traversal HNSW** — ADR-261 (multi-bit, §11).
+//!
+//! # The SymphonyQG bet (what we are testing)
+//!
+//! [SymphonyQG (SIGMOD 2025)](../../../../../docs/adr/ADR-261-ruvector-graph-ann-index.md)
+//! unifies **quantization with graph traversal**: instead of computing the full
+//! float distance at every node the beam search visits (the cost that dominates
+//! float HNSW — one `O(d)` float dot/diff per visited node), it scores traversal
+//! candidates with a **cheap quantized distance** and only computes the exact
+//! float distance for the *final* candidate set, which it **reranks**. The bet:
+//! the quantized score is cheap enough — and accurate enough to keep the beam on
+//! the right path — that you visit roughly as many nodes but pay far less per
+//! node, and recover the small recall loss with a final exact rerank. Source
+//! reports **3.5–17× QPS over HNSW at equal recall**.
+//!
+//! # Our implementation (honest scope)
+//!
+//! We are **not** reproducing SymphonyQG's exact system (their RaBitQ-fused codes,
+//! their SIMD layout, their refined graph). We build the **direction** of the
+//! claim from the pieces this crate already has, so the comparison is
+//! apples-to-apples on *our* hardware:
+//!
+//! - **Same graph** as the float [`crate::HnswIndex`] — identical structure,
+//!   identical seed, identical level assignment. The *only* variable between the
+//!   float and quantized search is **how a candidate is scored during traversal**,
+//!   so any QPS/recall difference is attributable to the quantization, not to a
+//!   different graph.
+//! - **Quantized score = `b`-bit code over the RaBitQ Pass-2 rotated coordinates**
+//!   ([`crate::rotation`] + the multi-bit scalar quantizer mirrored from
+//!   [ADR-156 §10](../../../../../docs/adr/ADR-156-ruvector-fusion-beyond-sota.md)'s
+//!   `coverage::measure_multibit`). Each node stores a `b`-bit-per-dimension code
+//!   over the padded rotation length `D = next_pow2(dim)`. During traversal we
+//!   compare query-code vs node-code by the **L1 distance over the per-dim
+//!   codes** — a few machine words of integer work, no per-dimension float work.
+//!   For `b == 1` the codes are `{0, 1}` and the L1 distance is **exactly the
+//!   1-bit Hamming distance** of the original ADR-261 construction, so `b == 1`
+//!   is fully backward-compatible.
+//! - **Exact float rerank** of the final beam: the top `rerank` candidates by
+//!   code-L1 are re-scored with the true float metric and the best `k` returned.
+//!
+//! Higher `b` keeps the traversal beam on-path better than 1-bit (ADR-156 §10
+//! measured 1/2/3/4-bit strict-K coverage at ~46/54/67/74%), at a memory cost
+//! that scales linearly with `b` (bytes/node = `ceil(D·b/8)`). **Whether the
+//! extra bits net a QPS win at equal recall — and at what N a crossover with
+//! float HNSW appears, if any — is the measured question ADR-261 §11 answers.**
+//! We report the real number, win or lose, and do not tune to manufacture a
+//! speedup.
+//!
+//! # Determinism & robustness
+//!
+//! The graph seed drives everything (level assignment), so the quantized index
+//! is as reproducible as the float one. Empty/degenerate inputs are guarded
+//! exactly as in [`crate::hnsw`] — no panic on empty index, `k > n`, `k == 0`,
+//! single node, ragged query, or zero dim.
