ruv 8504638187 feat(signal): ADR-135 — empty-room baseline calibration
Operator-initiated calibration that records 30 s of stationary CSI,
emits a per-subcarrier baseline (amplitude mean+variance via Welford,
phase via circular sin/cos sums with von Mises dispersion), and gates
downstream stages on a deviation z-score. Plugs into multistatic
coherence gating, motion/presence detection, and the new ADR-134 CIR
estimator as a reference-subtracted input.

API surface (under wifi_densepose_signal):
  CalibrationConfig::{ht20, ht40, he20, he40}
  CalibrationRecorder { record(), finalize(), frames_recorded() }
  BaselineCalibration {
    subcarriers: Vec<SubcarrierBaseline>,
    deviation(&CsiFrame), subtract_in_place(&mut CsiFrame),
    to_bytes(), from_bytes()
  }
  CalibrationDeviationScore { amplitude_z_median, amplitude_z_max,
                              phase_drift_median, motion_flagged }
  CalibrationError { SubcarrierMismatch, TierMismatch,
                     InsufficientFrames, VersionMismatch, TruncatedBuffer }

Binary baseline format: magic 0xCA1B_0001 + u8 version=1 + u8 tier +
captured_at_unix_s (i64) + frame_count (u64) + num_subcarriers (u32) +
[SubcarrierBaseline; N] as 16 bytes each (amp_mean, amp_variance,
phase_mean, phase_dispersion as f32 LE). Hand-written serialisation so
the format is stable across Rust toolchain versions without serde drift.

CLI: new `wifi-densepose calibrate` subcommand binds a UDP listener
(0xC511_0001 frames), streams them through CalibrationRecorder, prints
a real-time z-score banner per ADR-135 §risk 1 (operator-may-be-moving),
aborts on sustained high deviation, and writes the binary baseline to
disk. Local UDP packet parser duplicated from sensing-server (per ADR
discussion — avoids cross-crate API churn).

Witness: cross-platform-deterministic SHA-256 over the per-subcarrier
quantised baseline profile (u16 LE at 1e-2/1e-4/1e-3, no sort) using
the lesson learnt from the CIR PR #837 libm-jitter fix. Hash:
d6bce07ecb1648e6936561df44bf4a3bfc17bb0ba5f692646b2301d105b52f67

CI guard: new "ADR-135 calibration witness proof (determinism guard)"
step under the Rust Workspace Tests job, adjacent to the existing
ADR-134 CIR guard. Regressions are unambiguously attributable.

Hardware-in-loop validation: full 600-frame capture exercised via the
new scripts/synth-csi-udp.py emitter targeting 127.0.0.1:5005. The CLI
binary received 600 frames at 20 Hz, z_med stable at ~0.7, motion
correctly NOT flagged, finalised baseline written to baseline.bin (860
bytes) with correct magic + version + timestamp in the header. Live
ESP32 capture from COM9 is operator follow-up — requires provisioning
the firmware's UDP target IP to match the host running the CLI.

Test results (cargo test -p wifi-densepose-signal --no-default-features):
  lib:                    382 pass / 0 fail / 1 ignored
  calibration_synthetic:   17 pass / 0 fail
  calibration_drift:        5 pass / 0 fail
  calibration_roundtrip:   10 pass / 0 fail
  cir_*:                    9 pass + 6 documented P2 ignores
  doctest:                 10 pass

Bench: 20 Criterion combinations registered
(recorder_record / recorder_finalize / deviation / record_600 /
to_bytes across HT20/HT40/HE20/HE40 tiers).

Witness: bash scripts/verify-calibration-proof.sh → VERDICT: PASS

# Architecture Decision Records
This folder contains 45 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:
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/) (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](../ddd/ruvsense-domain-model.md) 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).
