cron iter 1. Three things landed atomically because they cross-cite:
P1 — research dossier complete
Deep-researcher agent (a4dd35950ffd) shipped
docs/research/ADR-116-ha-matter-cog-research.md: 8 sections,
30+ citations across Matter / HACS / cog arch / local-AI /
federation / competitors / regulatory / v1 scope. Key
findings folded into ADR-116 §3 and §4:
- Matter device class: OccupancySensor (0x0107) +
RFSensing feature on cluster 0x0406 (1.4 rev 5)
- ESP32-C6 Thread Border Router: one Kconfig flag away
(CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_BORDER_ROUTER=y)
- HACS quality tier: target Gold (repairs + diagnostics +
reconfiguration), start from hacs.integration_blueprint
- CSA cert: ~$30-42k/yr — skip for v1, "Works with HA"
positioning instead
- Cog RAM/CPU: 128 MB / 15% on the Seed; 10 KB INT8
semantic-primitive classifier fits without PSRAM
- SONA: <100 µs/query confirmed by ruvllm-esp32 v0.3.3
- FDA Jan 2026 wellness guidance covers HR / sleep / activity
anomaly when marketed as "anomaly notification" not "diagnosis"
- Competitor moat: Aqara FP300 / TOMMY / ESPectre all lack
HR + BR + pose + semantic + witness simultaneously
P2 — cog crate scaffold compiles
v2/crates/cog-ha-matter/ created with cog-pose-estimation as
precedent shape (ADR-101). Files:
- Cargo.toml: depends on wifi-densepose-sensing-server with
--features mqtt + wifi-densepose-hardware for the ADR-110
SyncPacket bridge.
- src/lib.rs: COG_ID = "ha-matter", MDNS_SERVICE_TYPE
"_ruview-ha._tcp", DEFAULT_CONTROL_PORT 9180.
- src/manifest.rs: typed CogManifest (8 fields) mirroring
cog-pose-estimation's manifest.template.json. Round-trip
test locks the JSON wire shape; id-constant test guards
against rename drift.
- src/main.rs: clap CLI with --sensing-url / --mqtt-host /
--mqtt-port / --privacy-mode / --print-manifest. The
--print-manifest flag emits the build-time template with
{{VERSION}} / {{ARCH}} placeholders for the signer.
- v2/Cargo.toml: cog-ha-matter added as workspace member.
Verification:
cargo check -p cog-ha-matter --no-default-features → green
cargo test -p cog-ha-matter --no-default-features --lib
→ 2/2 manifest tests pass
ADR-116 §3 + §4 + §5 (phases) updated to mark P1+P2 ✅ done and
seat the recommended v1 scope (privacy-mode audit-only → cog
signing → SONA loop → HACS gold → Matter Bridge as v0.8) ranked
by build cost × user impact per the dossier.
P3 (next iter): wrap the existing ADR-115 MQTT publisher as the
cog's main loop. The scaffold returns SUCCESS immediately today.

Architecture Decision Records
This folder contains 44 Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) that document every significant technical choice in the RuView / WiFi-DensePose project.
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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).
