* fix(homecore): atomic state set — close TOCTOU lost/reordered state_changed events StateMachine::set did get() (release shard lock) → compute next + no-op decision → insert() (re-acquire lock) → send(). The read-modify-write was not atomic w.r.t. a concurrent writer on the same entity: a writer that read a stale `old` could mis-classify a real transition as a no-op and drop its state_changed event (a missed automation trigger) or fire an event whose new_state duplicated the previously delivered one (a spurious trigger for any automation keyed on old_state != new_state). ADR-127 §2.1 promises "writer atomically replaces the map entry"; the implementation did not. Fix: hold the DashMap shard write-lock across the whole read→decide→insert→ fire sequence via entry()/insert_entry(). tx.send is non-blocking, non-async, and never re-enters the map, so firing under the shard lock cannot deadlock and keeps global event order in lock-step with global commit order. Pinned by concurrent_set_fires_no_duplicate_adjacent_events: 4 writers toggling one entity A/B; asserts no two consecutive fired events carry the same new_state (impossible under correct serialisation). Fails reliably on the old code (~365-476 duplicate-adjacent events on the first trial), passes on the fix across repeated runs. Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * harden(homecore): bound entity_id length — close memory-DoS at the REST boundary homecore-api/src/rest.rs parses untrusted path segments straight through EntityId::parse (get/delete/set_state). With no length cap, an otherwise-valid id like "a." + many MB of [a-z0-9_] was accepted; a POST /api/states/<giant> would persist it into the DashMap state store, permanently growing memory (amplification across distinct ids). Fix: reject ids longer than MAX_ENTITY_ID_LEN (255, HA-compatible) up front in parse(), before any per-char scan, with a new EntityIdError::TooLong. Fails closed at the boundary type so every caller (REST, registry deserialize, automation) is protected. Pinned by entity_id_length_boundary: exactly-MAX accepted, MAX+1 rejected, 4 MiB id rejected as TooLong. Fails on old code (oversized parses Ok). Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * harden(homecore): isolate panicking service handlers (catch_unwind) ServiceRegistry::call already ran handlers outside the registry lock (the Arc<dyn ServiceHandler> is cloned out of the read guard first), so a panic could never poison the RwLock or block other callers — good. But a panicking handler unwound through call() into the caller's task; the task driving the engine (e.g. an axum request handler invoking a service) could be aborted by one buggy integration. Fix: wrap the handler future in AssertUnwindSafe + FutureExt::catch_unwind and convert a panic into ServiceError::HandlerPanicked. Mirrors HA isolating service-handler exceptions. The registry stays fully usable afterwards. Pinned by panicking_handler_is_isolated_and_registry_survives: the panicking call returns HandlerPanicked (not an unwind), a sibling healthy service still returns its value, and the bad service remains registered. Fails on old code (the await point panics instead of returning Err). Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * test(homecore): pin event-bus lag safety (bounded broadcast, no DoS) Documents-with-evidence that the core EventBus does NOT have the homecore-api WS broadcast-lag failure: with EVENT_CHANNEL_CAPACITY=4096, firing 3x capacity while a subscriber never drains keeps fire_* non-blocking (publisher never waits on slow receivers), gives the slow receiver a recoverable Lagged(n) (drop-oldest + re-sync) rather than a closed channel, and leaves the bus live for a fresh fast subscriber. No code change — pins the clean dimension. Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * docs(homecore): record ADR-127 §9 security+concurrency review + CHANGELOG Documents the three pinned fixes (HC-RACE-01 state-set TOCTOU, HC-EID-LEN-01 entity_id memory-DoS, HC-SVC-PANIC-01 service-handler isolation) and the clean dimensions (bounded event-bus lag handling, lock discipline / no lock-across-await, no panic-on-input) with their evidence.

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:
-
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).
