Claude 9aae7f04ff feat(ruview-unified): native frame contract + programmable perception (ADR-279..282)
Second increment of the unified RF spatial world model, applying the
architectural correction that the 56-bin canonical tensor must not be
the authoritative format, and moving the control plane from passive
sensing to programmable perception.

- RfFrameV2 (ADR-279): authoritative native RF record — native complex
  IQ preserved (proven byte-untouched by the derived view), explicit
  validity masks, declared PhaseState, TX/RX poses + antenna geometry,
  calibration/quality state, and construction-time provenance rules:
  Synthetic ⇒ L0Simulation, Measured ⇒ ≥ L1CapturedReplay (the L0–L5
  evidence ladder is now a type). Canonical tensor demoted to a
  mask-aware derived view through the shared adapter normalization.
  New modalities: WifiCir, WifiBfReport, FmcwRangeAzimuth,
  FmcwDopplerAzimuth. IEEE P3162 synthetic-aperture import profile.
- Active sensing control plane (ADR-280, control.rs): SensingTask
  admission (raw export always refused; identity requires consent),
  SensingAction/InformationGoal, age-of-information planner with
  measured 95% sensing-traffic reduction vs uniform refresh,
  fail-closed CoherentSensorGroup fusion (time/phase/geometry bounds,
  five denial paths tested), policy-authorized RIS actuation receipts,
  purpose-scoped TaskSufficientRepresentation leakage validation.
- BLE Channel Sounding (ADR-281): adapter + ble_cs_range with
  phase-slope and RTT as separate cross-validated evidence — exact
  recovery on synthetic tones, relay-style divergence flagged instead
  of averaged. Delay-Doppler-native FieldAxis + delay_doppler_map
  (unit-peak tone test).
- Factorized pose (ADR-281, RePos): relative skeleton on the content
  representation, root on the geometry-conditioned one, calibrated
  per-joint uncertainties; room-shortcut leakage experiment: held-out
  MPJPE 0.0003 m vs 0.2534 m monolithic; 740 params (<2% structured
  budget). Age gate input now log(1+age_ms); gradient check re-proven.
- Gaussian primitives: first_seen_ns, doppler_variance, bounded
  source_receipts lineage merged on fusion. PartitionKey gains a
  session dimension; SplitManifest certifies disjointness across all
  seven leakage dimensions.
- ADR-282: ecosystem positioning — RuView as the edge RF perception
  runtime under RuField/RuVector/MetaHarness; evidence-ladder policy.

Validation: ruview-unified 84 unit + 3 acceptance tests, 0 failed,
clippy-clean; workspace 3,789 passed 0 failed (--exclude
wifi-densepose-desktop, GTK headers unavailable in container); Python
proof VERDICT PASS. Docker images unaffected: no shipped binary
consumes this crate yet (Dockerfile.rust builds sensing-server /
cog-ha-matter / homecore-server only; Dockerfile.python builds
untouched archive/v1).

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/) (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).
