ruv c9fbda12fd feat(dashboard): iter B+C+D+E+F — sim controls, scene toolbar, seed modal, transport-pill click, sidebar tunables wire-through, SNR, prefers-reduced-motion auto-detect, REPL proof.export
Closes ADR-093 P0.5, P0.6, P0.7, P0.9, P1.4, P1.8, P1.10, P1.11.

## Iter B — scene toolbar + sim controls (P0.6, P0.7)
- nv-scene scene-toolbar (top-left): zoom +/-, fit-to-view, layer
  toggles for sources / field lines / labels. Zoom drives the SVG
  viewBox so the entire scene scales uniformly.
- nv-scene sim-controls (bottom-right): step ⏮ / play ▶ / step ⏭ /
  speed cycle (0.25× → 4×). Bound to client.run/pause/step.

## Iter C — topbar pill clicks (P0.5, P1.10)
- Seed pill click opens a "Set seed" modal with a hex-validated input.
  Apply propagates via WasmClient.setSeed and toasts the new value.
- Transport pill (wasm/ws) click opens the Settings drawer (Transport
  section), letting the user switch modes inline.

## Iter D — sidebar tunables wire-through (P1.8)
- Every slider edge-triggers pushConfigDebounced() (300 ms). The
  debounced call forwards { digitiser: { f_s_hz, f_mod_hz }, sensor: {
  …, shot_noise_disabled }, dt_s } to the worker via setConfig RPC.
  Worker rebuilds the WasmPipeline so the running stream picks up the
  new config without restart.

## Iter E — proof.export REPL command (P0.9)
- nv-console adds proof.export → calls client.exportProofBundle() and
  triggers a download of the resulting JSON manifest with a timestamp
  filename. Listed in `help`.

## Iter F — SNR + prefers-reduced-motion (P1.4, P1.11, P1.3)
- nv-scene now computes SNR per frame as |b| / max(sigma_per_axis) and
  publishes to the snr signal. The corner stat-card stops showing "—".
- main.ts honors the system prefers-reduced-motion as the default for
  motionReduced when no IndexedDB override is set.

ADR-093 §2/§3 updated to mark these P0/P1 items resolved.

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:

  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).
