* refactor(signal): de-magic motion.rs tuning constants (ADR-154 §7.4 #18) Lift the bare fusion weights, normalization scales, confidence-indicator weights, and adaptive-threshold clamp bounds in motion.rs out of the scoring functions into named, documented EMPIRICAL-DEFAULT consts. Values are bit-identical to the prior literals — this is cleanup, no behaviour change. Adds boundary/characterization tests pinning current behaviour: - motion_tuning_consts_unchanged_from_literals (consts == old literals) - doppler_component_saturates_at_full_scale (/100 then clamp(0,1)) - correlation_score_zero_below_n2_boundary (n<2 guard) - temporal_variance_zero_below_two_history (len<2 guard) - adaptive_threshold_engages_at_history_boundary (history 9 vs 10) Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * refactor(signal): gesture.rs euclidean length guard + de-magic (ADR-154 §7.4 #12) - Add a debug_assert! to euclidean_distance documenting the same-dimension caller contract: zip() silently truncates on a length mismatch, so a mismatch is now loud in debug builds while the release operating path and output are unchanged. - De-magic the bare 1e-10 confidence epsilon into a documented const CONFIDENCE_SECOND_BEST_EPSILON (value unchanged). Tests pinning current behaviour: - confidence_epsilon_unchanged_from_literal - dtw_empty_sequence_is_infinite (n=0/m=0 boundary) - euclidean_distance_equal_length_is_l2 (same-dim contract) Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * refactor(signal): de-magic longitudinal.rs drift thresholds (ADR-154 §7.4) Lift the bare drift-detection literals (7-day baseline, 2-sigma z-score, 3-day sustained, 7-day escalation, EMA alpha, cosine epsilon) into named, documented EMPIRICAL-DEFAULT consts encoding the module's Key Invariants. The duplicated `>= 7` in is_ready/is_ready_at now share one const. EMA alpha kept as the exact 0.05 literal (1.0 - 0.95_f32 is not bit-identical in f32). Values unchanged. Tests: - drift_consts_unchanged_from_literals - is_ready_at_day_boundary (day 6 vs 7) - cosine_similarity_zero_vector_is_zero (zero-norm guard) Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * refactor(signal): de-magic division/zero-norm epsilons + boundary tests (ADR-154 §7.4) De-magic the bare division-guard epsilons in four modules into named, documented consts (values unchanged) and pin the previously-untested zero-norm / zero-variance / degenerate boundaries: - cross_room.rs: COSINE_SIMILARITY_EPSILON (1e-9) + test_cosine_similarity_zero_vector - multiband.rs: PEARSON_DENOMINATOR_EPSILON (1e-12) + pearson_correlation_zero_variance - intention.rs: LEAD_TIME_MIN_ACCEL (1e-10) + lead_time_zero_for_static_stream - hampel.rs: ZERO_MAD_EPSILON (1e-15) + test_zero_half_window_error + test_zero_mad_constant_window; documented hampel_filter # Errors Each module also gets a *_unchanged_from_literal const-pin test. Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * refactor(signal): de-magic rf_slam + attractor_drift constants (ADR-154 §7.4) rf_slam.rs: - NS_PER_DAY (86_400_000_000_000.0), MIGRATION_MIN_SPAN_DAYS (1e-9), and the fixed-map defaults (FIXED_MAP_ASSOC_RADIUS_M/MIN_SIGHTINGS/MIN_COHERENCE) lifted out of inline literals (values unchanged). - migration_zero_span_is_zero_rate pins the single-sighting zero-span guard. attractor_drift.rs: - METRIC_BUFFER_CAPACITY (365), STABLE_CENTER_WINDOW (10) de-magicked. - Documented the implicit recent.len()>=1 divide-safety in the PointAttractor branch (guaranteed by the count < min_observations guard). - analyze_min_observations_boundary pins the off-by-one boundary. Each module gets a *_consts_unchanged_from_literals pin test. Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * refactor(signal): de-magic coherence.rs variance floor + default decay (ADR-154 §7.4) Completes the M1 #9 de-magic for coherence.rs: the four bare 1e-6 variance-floor literals (update_reference floor + coherence_score/per_subcarrier_zscores epsilon) collapse to one VARIANCE_FLOOR const, and the inline 0.95 default decay becomes DEFAULT_EMA_DECAY. Values unchanged. Tests: - drift_consts_unchanged_from_literals extended (VARIANCE_FLOOR, DEFAULT_EMA_DECAY) - coherence_score_finite_with_zero_variance pins the floor's effect Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * refactor(signal): de-magic calibration.rs thresholds + min-frames default (ADR-154 §7.4 #2) Lift the bare calibration literals into named EMPIRICAL-DEFAULT consts (values unchanged, bit-identical; calibration is off the Python proof path): - DEFAULT_MIN_FRAMES (600) — was repeated across all four tier constructors - AMP_STD_FLOOR (1e-12) z-score divisor floor - MOTION_AMP_Z_THRESHOLD (2.0) / MOTION_PHASE_DRIFT_THRESHOLD (π/6) — the two motion_flagged sites now share one definition - SUBTRACT_MIN_NORM (1e-30) baseline-subtraction guard Test calibration_consts_unchanged_from_literals pins all five and asserts every tier constructor shares DEFAULT_MIN_FRAMES. Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * refactor(signal): de-magic fusion_quality + temporal_gesture constants (ADR-154 §7.4) fusion_quality.rs: - CONTRADICTION_PENALTY (0.8) and CONTRADICTION_BOUND_HALFWIDTH (0.1) named. - no_contradiction_is_identity pins the n=0 boundary (penalty 0.8^0 = 1.0, zero-width bounds). temporal_gesture.rs: - CONFIDENCE_SECOND_BEST_EPSILON (1e-10, mirrors gesture.rs) and NORM_QUANTIZATION_SCALE (1000.0) named. Each module gets a *_consts_unchanged_from_literals pin test. Values unchanged. Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * docs(adr-154): record Milestone-3 — §7.4 row #21-45 P3 backlog cleared Replace the lumped #21-45 backlog row with the enumerated M3 resolution: 22 magic constants de-magicked into named EMPIRICAL-DEFAULT consts (each pinned == prior literal), 6 boundary/characterization tests, ~4 doc-only, across 11 modules; not-real findings reported + skipped (unreachable attractor_drift div0, non-existent gesture thresholds, proof-path features.rs). Update residual P3 rows #2/#12/#17/#18 to RESOLVED, the deferred count (36 -> 0), the scope field, and the Horizon-ledger one-liner. §7.4 backlog fully cleared across M0-M3. CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry added. Validation: signal lib --no-default-features 476/0/1; --features cir 476/0; workspace 3,275/0; Python proof PASS, hash f8e76f21...46f7a UNCHANGED.

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).
