ruv ad41a89960 feat(pointcloud): integrate ESP32 CSI as optional data stream from hosted viewer
The hosted GitHub Pages viewer can now act as a thin client for a
locally-running ruview-pointcloud serve instance — flip a button, the
ESP32's CSI fusion (camera depth + WiFi CSI + mmWave) renders inside
the same Three.js scene that previously only showed the face mesh
demo. No clone, no rebuild, no toolchain on the visitor's side.

Server (stream.rs):
- Add tower_http::cors::CorsLayer with a deliberate allowlist:
  https://ruvnet.github.io, http://localhost:*, http://127.0.0.1:*,
  and 'null' (for file:// origins). Anything else is denied — not a
  wildcard CORS. Modern browsers (Chrome 94+, Firefox 116+, Safari
  16.4+) treat 127.0.0.1 as a "potentially trustworthy" origin so
  HTTPS Pages → HTTP loopback is permitted. The new layer wraps the
  existing /api/cloud, /api/splats, /api/status, /health routes.
- Cargo.toml: pull in workspace tower-http (cors feature already on).

Viewer:
- New "📡 Connect ESP32…" CTA bottom-right. Clicking prompts for a
  ruview-pointcloud serve URL (default http://127.0.0.1:9880),
  persists the last-used value in localStorage, and reloads with
  ?backend=<url> so the existing remote-mode fetch path takes over.
  When already connected the button toggles to "disconnect" and
  reloads back to the demo.
- Reuses the existing transport selector — no new code path to
  maintain. The face mesh / synthetic demo render path is unaffected;
  this is purely an additive UI affordance over the ?backend= query.

Docs:
- ADR-094 §2.3 expanded with the local-ESP32 workflow and the CORS
  posture rationale.
- Workflow README documents ?backend=http://127.0.0.1:9880 as the
  intended local-ESP32 path.

Tests: cargo test -p wifi-densepose-pointcloud → 15/15 passed.

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).
