Claude 42485495ed feat(ruview-unified): complete Gaussian update loop, separable delay-Doppler, property-tested boundary hardening
Third increment: closes the remaining implementable ADR-275 update-loop
steps, optimizes the delay-Doppler transform, and hardens every boundary
surface with property testing that found and fixed three real
input-controlled defects.

- ADR-275 update loop: GaussianMap::merge_overlapping (step 5 — mutual
  Mahalanobis + semantic-compatibility dedup catching drift the
  insert-time ±1-cell gate misses; orthogonal semantics stay separate)
  and lifetime-aware decay (step 7 — tau_eff = tau*(1+ln(1+lifetime/tau))
  so confirmed structures outlive transients at equal nominal tau).
- Separable delay-Doppler (ADR-281): O(B^2*S + S^2*B) instead of
  O(B^2*S^2), proven equivalent to the direct reference to <1e-10 and
  measured 8.3x faster (520us vs 4.34ms at 56x8). Direct form kept as
  the benchmark baseline + equivalence oracle.
- Security property tests (tests/security_boundaries.rs, 8 proptest
  properties over arbitrary values incl. NaN/inf via f64::from_bits).
  Found and fixed:
  * ble_cs_range unwrap infinite loop on non-finite phase (+inf) and
    ~1e299-iteration loop on finite-huge phase -> O(1) modular unwrap +
    plausibility bound (|phase| <= 1e6 rad);
  * subnormal Gaussian scale (5e-324) overflowing 1/sigma^2 to NaN
    density -> physical bounds (sigma in [1e-6, 1e4] m, occupancy in
    [0, 1e6] nepers/m).
  Properties proven: tensor/Gaussian/BoundedEvent constructors never
  panic; policy engine fail-closed for every (purpose,grants,zone);
  raw export structurally unreachable; coherent fusion rejects every
  non-finite/out-of-bounds sync state; occupancy reps never retain
  identity.
- New criterion benches for all increment-2/3 hot paths (to_canonical
  38us, ble_cs_range 481ns, AoI planner 647ns/200 regions, coherent
  fusion 1.5us/32 members, factorized pose 521ns, delay-Doppler
  separable vs direct).

Validation: ruview-unified 98 tests (87 lib + 3 acceptance + 8
security), 0 failed, clippy-clean; Python proof VERDICT PASS. Witness
bundle regeneration still blocked on the desktop/Tauri crate's GTK dev
headers (unavailable in this container) — pre-existing environment
limitation, flagged for the release owner.

Architecture Decision Records

Latest proposed decisions:

This folder contains 193 Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) that document every significant technical choice in the RuView / WiFi-DensePose project. (The index tables below list a curated subset per domain; see the directory listing for the full set.)

Why ADRs?

Building a system that turns WiFi signals into human pose estimation involves hundreds of non-obvious decisions: which signal processing algorithms to use, how to bridge ESP32 firmware to a Rust pipeline, whether to run inference on-device or on a server, how to handle multi-person separation with limited subcarriers.

ADRs capture the context, options considered, decision made, and consequences for each of these choices. They serve three purposes:

  1. Institutional memory — Six months from now, anyone (human or AI) can read why we chose IIR bandpass filters over FIR for vital sign extraction, not just see the code.

  2. AI-assisted development — When an AI agent works on this codebase, ADRs give it the constraints and rationale it needs to make changes that align with the existing architecture. Without them, AI-generated code tends to drift — reinventing patterns that already exist, contradicting earlier decisions, or optimizing for the wrong tradeoffs.

  3. Review checkpoints — Each ADR is a reviewable artifact. When a proposed change touches the architecture, the ADR forces the author to articulate tradeoffs before writing code, not after.

ADRs and Domain-Driven Design

The project uses Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to organize code into bounded contexts — each with its own language, types, and responsibilities. ADRs and DDD work together:

  • ADRs define boundaries: ADR-029 (RuvSense) established multistatic sensing as a separate bounded context from single-node CSI. ADR-042 (CHCI) defined a new aggregate root for coherent channel imaging.
  • DDD models define the language: The RuvSense domain model defines terms like "coherence gate", "dwell time", and "TDM slot" that ADRs reference precisely.
  • Together they prevent drift: An AI agent reading ADR-039 knows that edge processing tiers are configured via NVS keys, not compile-time flags — because the ADR says so. The DDD model tells it which aggregate owns that configuration.

How ADRs are structured

Each ADR follows a consistent format:

  • Context — What problem or gap prompted this decision
  • Decision — What we chose to do and how
  • Consequences — What improved, what got harder, and what risks remain
  • References — Related ADRs, papers, and code paths

Statuses: Proposed (under discussion), Accepted (approved and/or implemented), Superseded (replaced by a later ADR).
