feat(rufield): CsiReplayAdapter — first real WiFi-CSI adapter (submodule bump) (#1068 )

Bumps vendor/rufield to include CsiReplayAdapter: RuField now ingests real captured WiFi CSI (.csi.jsonl) → FieldTensor → CSI-variance motion/presence proxy → signed FieldEvents → fusion. Measured on 199 real frames: 182 fused inferences (115 breathing, 67 person_present) from real signal. Replay-from-file, unlabeled (proxy not validated accuracy) — live streaming + labeled accuracy remain roadmap; mmWave/thermal stay synthetic. Co-authored-by: ruv <ruvnet@gmail.com>

 ### Added
+- **RuField `CsiReplayAdapter` — first real (non-synthetic) WiFi-CSI adapter (ADR-260 §17).** RuField now ingests **real captured WiFi CSI** instead of only the synthetic simulator. New `rufield-adapters::csi_replay` parses RuView's `.csi.jsonl` recording format (`{timestamp, subcarriers[]}`), normalizes each frame to a `FieldTensor` (`WifiCsi`, real amplitudes + real `timestamp_ns`), establishes a per-subcarrier Welford **empty-room baseline** via `calibrate()`, derives a **physically-grounded CSI-variance motion/presence proxy** (normalized MAD vs baseline → P2 motion/presence, else P1), and emits `FieldEvent`s with a **real sha256 + ed25519 provenance receipt** (`synthetic=false`). **Measured on 199 real captured frames:** 184 presence-proxy / 69 motion-proxy → fed through `RuFieldFusion` → **182 fused inferences (115 breathing, 67 person_present) from real signal.** 12 tests (9 unit + 3 integration over real-CSI fixtures), deterministic (byte-identical stream per file). **Honest caveats (stated everywhere):** it's **replay from file, not live hardware**; recordings are **unlabeled**, so the motion/presence output is a **proxy, NOT validated accuracy** (no pose, no accuracy numbers); live streaming + labeled validation remain roadmap; mmWave/thermal stay synthetic. The win is "RuField ingests real WiFi CSI and produces fused events from it." [`ruvnet/rufield`](https://github.com/ruvnet/rufield) `crates/rufield-adapters`; `vendor/rufield` submodule bumped.
+- **RuField `rufield-viewer` web dashboard — completes ADR-260 §27.9 (all §27 criteria 1–10 now PASS).** A read-only Axum + vanilla-JS dashboard (no build step — `cargo run -p rufield-viewer`) that streams the deterministic SyntheticSim→fusion camera-free room-intelligence demo: live room-state inferences with confidence, a scrolling event log where every event carries its modality + a colour-coded **P0–P5 privacy badge**, the fusion graph (supporting=green / contradicting=red per inference), and a click-to-open **provenance-receipt modal** (sha256 + ed25519 signer + verified ✓ / fusable ✓) — behind a permanent, undismissable `SYNTHETIC — simulated sensors, no hardware` banner. Endpoints `/` · `/app.js` · `/health` · `/api/run` (full deterministic JSON) · `/events` (SSE). 12 new tests. Honest scope: a read-only SYNTHETIC demo viewer, **not** a device-management console — fleet/real-adapter management is a separate later milestone. Lives in [`ruvnet/rufield`](https://github.com/ruvnet/rufield) (`crates/rufield-viewer`, repo now 7 crates / 72 tests); `vendor/rufield` submodule bumped to include it.
+- **ADR-261: RuVector graph-ANN index — a real HNSW baseline + a SymphonyQG-style quantized variant, MEASURED (honest negative).** Closes the [ADR-156 §5 #1](docs/adr/ADR-156-ruvector-fusion-beyond-sota.md) gap: the SymphonyQG (SIGMOD 2025) **3.5–17× QPS-over-HNSW** claim was CLAIMED-only because **no HNSW baseline existed to compare against**. This adds one. New pure-Rust, `--no-default-features`-buildable modules in `wifi-densepose-ruvector`: `hnsw.rs` (a correct float HNSW — Malkov & Yashunin: multi-layer NSW graph, `ef_construction`/`ef_search`, Algorithm-4 neighbour selection, **seeded-deterministic** level assignment via SplitMix64, L2 + cosine, full degenerate-case guards), `hnsw_quantized.rs` (the SymphonyQG-style variant — the **same** graph traversed by a cheap **1-bit Hamming** score over the RaBitQ Pass-2 rotated sign code, then **exact-float rerank**), `ann_measure.rs` + `benches/ann_bench.rs` (one shared deterministic planted-cluster fixture; the `ann_bench_report` test is the source of truth). **MEASURED (dim=128, N=10k, K=10, `--release`):** float HNSW = **~25× QPS over linear scan at recall ≥0.99** (the baseline this gap needed; recall@10 correctness gate ≥0.95 holds, L2 + cosine). **Honest negative:** the 1-bit quantized traversal is **too coarse to beat float HNSW at equal recall at this scale** — its best recall is **0.738**, never reaching the ≥0.90 equal-recall point, so there is **no QPS win** over float HNSW; the 3.5–17× is **not reproduced** by our 1-bit construction here. The recall gate also **caught a real index-out-of-bounds bug** in the insert path (disclosed in ADR-261 §4). Caveat: this is **our** HNSW + **our** 1-bit quant, not SymphonyQG's exact system — it tests the *direction* of the claim, with the expected crossover at large N + a multi-bit traversal code. **We did not tune to manufacture a speedup.** +20 tests (ruvector lib 131→151, 0 failed). ADR-156 §5 #1 / §8 backlog: CLAIMED → **MEASURED-direction-tested**. Python deterministic proof unchanged (off the signal proof path).
+- **ADR-261 Milestone-2: multi-bit quantized HNSW traversal + large-N scaling study — MEASURED (honest negative).** Extends ADR-261's quantized index from 1-bit to **`b`-bit-per-dimension** (`b ∈ {1,2,4}`, 16/32/64 B/node) over the Pass-2 rotated coordinates, and runs a deterministic scaling study (N ∈ {10k, 100k, 250k}) to test M1's *prediction* of a large-N crossover. **Result: no crossover at any measured (N, b), and the trend refutes the prediction.** At N=10k more bits lift the equal-recall QPS ratio (0.19×→0.46×→0.48×) and let b≥2 reach the 0.90 recall bar 1-bit missed — but quant stays slower than float HNSW at equal recall; at N=100k/250k quant recall *collapses* (b=4: 1.000→0.788→0.624, never ≥0.90) while float holds ≥0.92 (denser graph → low-bit codes can't separate near-neighbours, beam goes off-path faster than the float-distance saving repays). Caveat: our HNSW + our per-node multi-bit code, not SymphonyQG's RaBitQ-fused graph — refutes the *direction* at ≤250k, not their million-scale numbers. ruvector lib **151→156** (+5 tests; `scaling_report` `#[ignore]` produced the table). A published negative with the mechanism explained. ADR-261 §11.
 - **ADR-260: RuField MFS — the open specification for camera-free multimodal field sensing.** A common event / tensor / calibration / privacy / provenance model that sits *above* WiFi CSI/CIR/BFLD, UWB, BLE Channel Sounding, mmWave radar, ultrasound, subsonic, infrared, and future quantum sensors (each modality emits a normalized `FieldEvent` → `FieldTensor` → `FusionGraph` → `PrivacyClass` → `ProvenanceReceipt`). Published as a **standalone repo** [`ruvnet/rufield`](https://github.com/ruvnet/rufield) and vendored here as the `vendor/rufield` submodule (the `vendor/rvcsi` pattern — not a `v2/` workspace member). The v0.1 reference stack is a self-contained 6-crate Rust workspace (`rufield-core`, `-provenance` [sha256 + ed25519], `-privacy` [P0–P5 guard], `-adapters` [deterministic `SyntheticSim` across wifi_csi/mmwave_radar/infrared_thermal], `-fusion` [graph + TOML weighted-Bayes rules → 7 room-state inferences], `-bench` [deterministic runner + the §31 acceptance test]). **60 tests / 0 failed, clippy-clean.** §27 acceptance criteria 1–8 and 10 PASS; the live dashboard (9) is deferred. **All benchmark metrics are SYNTHETIC** (scored against the simulator's own ground truth — presence/breathing/bed_exit/room_transition F1 = 1.000, nocturnal_scratch 0.923 reported honestly, p95 latency ~0.01 ms, provenance coverage 100%, 0 privacy violations) — they prove the pipeline recovers known truth, **not** field accuracy; real hardware adapters (ESP32 CSI, mmWave, thermal IR) are a documented roadmap item, none validated in v0.1. The Python deterministic proof is unchanged (rufield is off the signal-processing proof path).

+
+## 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.
+
+---
+

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.

+//! 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.

rUv	6f6c867629	feat(rufield): CsiReplayAdapter — first real WiFi-CSI adapter (submodule bump) (#1068 ) Bumps vendor/rufield to include CsiReplayAdapter: RuField now ingests real captured WiFi CSI (.csi.jsonl) → FieldTensor → CSI-variance motion/presence proxy → signed FieldEvents → fusion. Measured on 199 real frames: 182 fused inferences (115 breathing, 67 person_present) from real signal. Replay-from-file, unlabeled (proxy not validated accuracy) — live streaming + labeled accuracy remain roadmap; mmWave/thermal stay synthetic.

rUv	95a5ecc746	feat(rufield): rufield-viewer dashboard — completes ADR-260 §27.9 (#1067 ) Bumps the vendor/rufield submodule to include the new rufield-viewer crate (Axum + vanilla JS read-only dashboard streaming the deterministic SyntheticSim→fusion camera-free room-intelligence demo: live room state, P0–P5 privacy-badged event log, fusion graph, signed-receipt viewer, behind a permanent SYNTHETIC banner). All ADR-260 §27 criteria 1–10 now PASS. Read-only demo viewer, not device management (real-adapter milestone later). rufield repo now 7 crates / 72 tests.

rUv	1f05456588	feat(ADR-261 M2): multi-bit + large-N ANN scaling study — measured, no crossover (refutes M1 prediction) (#1066 ) * feat(ADR-261): multi-bit (b∈{1,2,4}) quantized HNSW traversal + scaling harness Generalize the SymphonyQG-style quantized-traversal HNSW from 1-bit Hamming to a b-bit-per-dimension code (b ∈ {1,2,4}), mirroring ADR-156 §10's multi-bit RaBitQ scheme (rotate via FHT Pass-2, uniform mid-rise scalar quantizer over [-3,3], ranked by per-dim L1). b=1 is byte-for-byte the original construction (codes in {0,1} ⇒ L1 == Hamming), pinned by one_bit_build_bits_matches_legacy_build. Bytes/node scales linearly: 128-d → 16/32/64 B for b=1/2/4. - hnsw_quantized.rs: QuantizedHnswIndex::build_bits(...,bits,...), bits()/ bytes_per_node() accessors, code-L1 greedy+beam traversal. build(...) kept as the b=1 backward-compatible entry point. +4 tests (multi-bit recall regression, bits clamp, bytes/node, legacy parity). - ann_measure.rs: build_indices_bits / build_quant_bits / run_scaling_study + best_float_op / best_quant_op; scaling_report (#[ignore], --release) and a CI-safe scaling_study_small_is_consistent. - ann_bench.rs: 2-bit and 4-bit quant criterion benches over the shared graph. ruvector lib 151 → 156 passed, 0 failed, 1 ignored (scaling_report). Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * docs(adr-261): record M2 multi-bit scaling study — measured, no crossover (refutes M1 prediction) Multi-bit (b∈{1,2,4}) quantized HNSW traversal + N∈{10k,100k,250k} scaling study, measured on this box. No crossover at any (N,b): at 10k more bits help (ratio 0.19→0.48×, b≥2 reaches 0.90 recall) but quant stays slower than float HNSW at equal recall; at 100k/250k quant recall collapses (b=4: 1.0→0.788→0.624, never ≥0.90) while float holds ≥0.92. The predicted large-N crossover moved the wrong way. Published negative with the mechanism explained. ADR-261 §11.

rUv	f756a8af49	feat(ADR-261): ruvector HNSW graph-ANN (25x measured vs linear) + honest SymphonyQG-direction refutation (#1063 ) * feat(ruvector): real float HNSW + SymphonyQG-style quantized-traversal index (ADR-261) Adds the graph-ANN index the ruvector retrieval path was missing (ADR-156 §5 #1 noted there was no HNSW baseline to measure SymphonyQG against). - hnsw.rs: correct float HNSW (Malkov & Yashunin) — multi-layer NSW graph, ef_construction/ef_search, Algorithm-4 neighbour selection, seeded- deterministic level assignment (SplitMix64, reused from rotation.rs), L2 + cosine, brute-force ground truth, full degenerate-case guards. recall@10 correctness gate >=0.95 vs brute force (L2 + cosine). - hnsw_quantized.rs: SymphonyQG-style variant — same graph, traversal scored by cheap 1-bit Hamming over the RaBitQ Pass-2 rotated sign code, final exact-float rerank. - ann_measure.rs: shared deterministic planted-cluster fixture + recall/QPS measurement (ann_bench_report is the ADR source of truth). Fixes an index-out-of-bounds bug the recall gate caught: insert wired bidirectional edges before pushing the node's own link row. +20 tests, ruvector lib 131->151, 0 failed. Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * bench(ruvector): criterion ann_bench for HNSW vs quantized vs linear (ADR-261) Times the same shared ann_measure fixture/indices through criterion so the bench and the report test can never measure different graphs. Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * docs(adr-261): graph-ANN index ADR with MEASURED HNSW vs quantized verdict ADR-261 (Accepted): float HNSW ~25x QPS over linear scan at recall >=0.99 (the baseline ADR-156 said was missing). Honest negative: the 1-bit quantized traversal is too coarse to beat float HNSW at equal recall at N=10k (best recall 0.738, no >=0.90 equal-recall point) — the SymphonyQG 3.5-17x is NOT reproduced by our 1-bit construction; expected crossover at large N + a multi-bit code. Caveat: our HNSW + our quant, not SymphonyQG's system — direction tested, not a 1:1 reproduction. ADR-156 §5 #1 + §8 backlog: CLAIMED -> MEASURED-direction-tested. CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry.
