At edge tier>=2 on N16R8 PSRAM boards, `process_frame()` runs
`update_multi_person_vitals()` (4 persons × 256 history samples) plus
`wasm_runtime_on_frame()` back-to-back before returning to `edge_task()`.
The existing `vTaskDelay(1)` in `edge_task()` only fires *after*
`process_frame()` returns — under sustained 30 pps CSI load on PSRAM
boards this leaves IDLE1 on Core 1 starved long enough for the 5-second
Task Watchdog Timer to fire.
Fix: add two `vTaskDelay(1)` calls inside `process_frame()`, both gated
on `s_cfg.tier >= 2`:
1. After `update_multi_person_vitals()` (Step 11)
2. After `wasm_runtime_on_frame()` dispatch (Step 14)
Tier 0/1 paths are unaffected. Validated on COM7 (N16R8 board):
`Edge DSP task started on core 1 (tier=2)`, no WDT panics in 20 s.
Also bump firmware version 0.6.5 → 0.6.6 and refresh all 6 release_bins
with the new build (8MB + 4MB variants, built 2026-05-21).

* firmware/esp32-csi-node: fix IDF 6 build (PSA SHA-256, explicit REQUIRES)
- rvf_parser: use psa_hash_* / psa_hash_compute; mbedTLS 4 has no public
mbedtls/sha256.h on the IDF include path.
- main/CMakeLists: declare REQUIRES for WiFi, netif, HTTP, OTA, drivers, lwip,
mbedtls per ESP-IDF v6 component dependency checks; optional wasm3 when

* firmware/esp32-csi-node: fix CSI config for Wi-Fi 6 (ESP32-C6)
When CONFIG_SOC_WIFI_HE_SUPPORT is set, wifi_csi_config_t is the
wifi_csi_acquire_config_t bitfield layout. The legacy bool fields
(lltf_en, htltf_en, ...) only apply to ESP32-S3-class targets.
Initialize acquire fields for HE targets; add MAC v3-only members when
CONFIG_SOC_WIFI_MAC_VERSION_NUM >= 3.
Verified: idf.py build for esp32c6 and esp32s3 (ESP-IDF v6.1).

* firmware/esp32-csi-node: pin edge DSP task for unicore (ESP32-C6)
edge_processing_init used xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(..., core 1). ESP32-C6
runs FreeRTOS unicore (portNUM_PROCESSORS == 1), so core 1 trips the
xTaskCreatePinnedToCore range assert right after CSI init.
Use core 1 only when SMP is available; otherwise pin to core 0.

--chip override. Use write-flash instead of deprecated write_flash.

* fix(firmware): move defensive node_id capture before wifi_init_sta()
The original defensive copy in csi_collector_init() (line 172 of main.c)
runs AFTER wifi_init_sta() (line 147), which on some ESP32-S3 devices
corrupts g_nvs_config.node_id back to the Kconfig default of 1.
Reproduced on device 80:b5:4e:c1:be:b8 (ESP32-S3 QFN56 rev v0.2):
- NVS provisioned with node_id=5
- Release firmware (no fix): seed receives node_id=1 (clobbered)
- This patch: seed receives node_id=5 (correct)
Changes:
- Add csi_collector_set_node_id() called from main.c immediately
after nvs_config_load(), before wifi_init_sta() runs
- csi_collector_init() now detects and logs the clobber if early
capture disagrees with current g_nvs_config value
- Fallback path preserved: if set_node_id() is never called,
init() still captures from g_nvs_config (backwards compatible)

* fix(firmware): defensive copy of filter_mac to prevent callback crash
The CSI callback reads g_nvs_config.filter_mac_set and filter_mac on
every invocation (100-500 Hz). If wifi_init_sta() corrupts g_nvs_config
(same root cause as the node_id clobber), the callback reads garbage
from the struct, leading to Core 0 LoadProhibited panic after ~2400
callbacks (~70 seconds of operation).
Extends the early-capture pattern from the node_id fix to also copy
filter_mac_set and filter_mac into module-local statics before WiFi
init runs. Adds canary logging to detect filter_mac corruption.
Observed on device 80:b5:4e:c1:be:b8 via serial:
CSI cb #2400 → Guru Meditation Error: Core 0 panic'ed (LoadProhibited)
→ TG0WDT_SYS_RST → reboot → crash again at ~2900 callbacks

* fix(firmware): MGMT-only promiscuous filter to prevent SPI cache crash
The WiFi driver's wDev_ProcessFiq interrupt handler crashes with
LoadProhibited in cache_ll_l1_resume_icache when promiscuous mode
captures MGMT+DATA frames (100-500 interrupts/sec). The high interrupt
rate races with SPI flash cache operations, corrupting cache state.
Changes:
- Promiscuous filter: MGMT+DATA → MGMT-only (~10 Hz beacons)
- CSI config: disable htltf_en and stbc_htltf2_en (LLTF-only)
LLTF provides 64 subcarriers (HT20) — sufficient for presence,
breathing, and fall detection. The 10 Hz beacon rate eliminates
the SPI flash cache contention that caused the crash.
Verified on device 80:b5:4e:c1:be:b8:
- Before: LoadProhibited crash at ~1600-2400 callbacks (every ~70s)
- After: 2700+ callbacks over 4.7 minutes, zero crashes
Backtrace decode confirmed crash in ESP-IDF closed-source WiFi blob:
_xt_lowint1 → wDev_ProcessFiq → spi_flash_restore_cache
→ cache_ll_l1_resume_icache → EXCVADDR=0x00000004 (NULL deref)

* fix(firmware): address PR #397 review feedback
Applies @ruvnet's five review requests on PR #397 (RuView#397 comment
4289417527):
1. **Inline comment on `provision.py` `write_flash`** — ESP-IDF v5.4
bundles esptool 4.10.0 (underscore-only). #391's hyphen swap broke
the documented venv flow; kept the underscore form and added a
three-line comment warning future maintainers not to "re-fix" it.
2. **Correct `edge_processing.c` sample_rate** (blocking) — changed
hard-coded `20.0f` → `10.0f` at line 718 so
`estimate_bpm_zero_crossing()` matches the MGMT-only CSI rate.
Without this, breathing and heart-rate reports were 2× the true
value. Added a comment tying the constant to the callback rate gate.
3. **Removed disabled probe-injection infrastructure** — dropped the
forward declaration, the `CSI_PROBE_INTERVAL_MS` define, six static
variables (`s_probe_timer`, `s_probe_tx_count`, `s_probe_tx_fail`,
`s_ap_bssid`, `s_ap_bssid_known`), and three functions
(`csi_send_probe_request`, `probe_timer_cb`,
`csi_collector_start_probe_timer`). None were reachable.
`csi_inject_ndp_frame()` reverted to the original ADR-029 stub.
Can be revived from this commit's parent if needed.
4. **Cleaned `sdkconfig.defaults`** — removed the SPIRAM prose and
commented-out `# CONFIG_SPIRAM is not set` line. Kept only the live
`CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_EXTRA_IRAM_OPT=y` with a concise rationale.
5. **Bumped firmware version 0.6.1 → 0.6.2** and added four
`[Unreleased]` CHANGELOG entries covering the SPI cache crash fix,
the `filter_mac` / `node_id` clobber defense, the sample-rate
correction, and the `write_flash` command-form revert.
Net: +39 / -128 across six files.
Validation in this devcontainer:
- Static sanity on modified C files: braces balance (csi_collector.c
59/59; edge_processing.c 96/96), zero dangling references to removed
probe-injection symbols.
- Rust workspace tests and Python proof not executed here — cargo not
installed and pip blocked by PEP 668. Deferring hardware build +
flash + miniterm verification to @ruvnet's COM7 per his offer in
the review comment.

Users on multi-node ESP32 deployments have been reporting for months
that their provisioned `node_id` reverts to the Kconfig default of `1`
in UDP frames and the `csi_collector` init log, despite boot showing:
nvs_config: NVS override: node_id=4
main: ESP32-S3 CSI Node (ADR-018) - Node ID: 4
csi_collector: CSI collection initialized (node_id=1, channel=11)
See #232, #375, #385, #386, #390. The root memory-corruption path for
the `g_nvs_config.node_id` byte has not been definitively isolated
(does not reproduce on my attached ESP32-S3 running current source
and the v0.6.0 release binary), but the UDP frame header can be made
tamper-proof regardless:
1. `csi_collector_init()` now captures `g_nvs_config.node_id` into a
module-local `static uint8_t s_node_id` at init time.
2. `csi_serialize_frame()` reads `buf[4]` from `s_node_id`, not from
the global - so any later corruption of `g_nvs_config` cannot
affect outgoing CSI frames.
3. All other consumers (`edge_processing.c` x3, `wasm_runtime.c`,
`display_ui.c`, `main.c swarm_bridge_init`) now go through a new
`csi_collector_get_node_id()` accessor instead of reading the
global directly.
4. A canary at end-of-init logs `WARN` if `g_nvs_config.node_id`
already diverges from the captured value - this will pinpoint
the corruption path if it happens on a user's device.
Hardware validation on attached ESP32-S3 (COM8):
- NVS loads node_id=2
- Boot log: `main: ... Node ID: 2`
- NEW log: `csi_collector: Captured node_id=2 at init (defensive
copy for #232/#375/#385/#390)`
- Init log: `csi_collector: CSI collection initialized (node_id=2)`
- UDP frame byte[4] = 2 (verified via socket sniffer, 15/15 packets)
This is defense in depth - it shields the UDP frame from whatever
upstream bug is clobbering the struct. When a user hits the original
bug, the canary WARN will help isolate the root cause.

* feat(signal): subcarrier importance weighting via mincut partition (Phase 1)
Adds subcarrier_importance_weights() to ruvector signal crate — converts
mincut partition into per-subcarrier float weights (>1.0 for sensitive,
0.5 for insensitive subcarriers).
Sensing server now uses weighted mean/variance in extract_features_from_frame
instead of treating all 56 subcarriers equally. This emphasizes body-motion-
sensitive subcarriers and reduces noise from static multipath.
Expected: ~26% reduction in keypoint jitter (±15cm → ±11cm RMS).
284 tests pass (191 trainer + 51 lib + 18 vital_signs + 16 dataset + 8 multi_node).

* fix(firmware): stack overflow risk + tick-rate independence (review findings)
Critical fixes from deep review:
1. **Stack overflow prevention**: Moved BPM scratch buffers (br_buf, hr_buf)
from stack to static storage in both process_frame() and
update_multi_person_vitals(). Combined stack was ~6.5-7.5 KB of 8 KB
limit — now reduced by ~4 KB to safe margins.
2. **Tick-rate independence**: Post-batch yield now uses
pdMS_TO_TICKS(20) with min-1 guard instead of raw vTaskDelay(2).
Previously assumed 100Hz tick rate.
3. **EDGE_BATCH_LIMIT to header**: Moved from local const to
edge_processing.h #define for configurability.
Firmware builds clean at 843 KB.

* fix(server): stale node eviction, remove unsafe pointer (review findings)
Critical fixes from deep review:
1. **Stale node eviction**: node_states HashMap now evicts nodes with no
frame for >60 seconds, every 100 ticks. Prevents unbounded memory
growth and stale smoothing data when nodes are replaced.
2. **Remove unsafe raw pointer**: Replaced the unsafe raw pointer to
adaptive_model (used to break borrow checker deadlock with
node_states) with a safe .clone() before the mutable borrow.
AdaptiveModel derives Clone so this is a clean copy.
284 tests pass, zero failures.

* fix(firmware,server): watchdog crash on busy LANs + no detection from edge vitals (#321, #323)
**Firmware (#321):** edge_dsp task now batch-limits frame processing to 4
frames before a 10ms yield. On corporate LANs with high CSI frame rates,
the previous 1-tick-per-frame yield wasn't enough to prevent IDLE1
starvation and task watchdog triggers.
**Sensing server (#323):** When ESP32 runs the edge DSP pipeline (Tier 2+),
it sends vitals packets (magic 0xC5110002) instead of raw CSI frames.
Previously, the server broadcast these as raw edge_vitals but never
generated a sensing_update, so the UI showed "connected" but "0 persons".
Now synthesizes a full sensing_update from vitals data including
classification, person count, and pose generation.

* fix(firmware): address review findings — idle busy-spin and observability

- Add s_ring_drops counter to ring_push for diagnosing frame drops

* fix(server): set breathing_band_power for skeleton animation from vitals
When presence is detected via edge vitals, set breathing_band_power to

was being reported.

CONFIG_CSI_NODE_ID (compile-time, always 1) was hardcoded in 6
places: CSI frame serialization, compressed frames, vitals packets,
WASM output packets, and display UI. NVS provisioning wrote the
correct node_id but it was never used at runtime.
Fixed all occurrences to use g_nvs_config.node_id:
- csi_collector.c: frame header + log message
- edge_processing.c: compressed frame + vitals packet
- wasm_runtime.c: WASM output packet
- display_ui.c: system info display
This means --node-id 0/1/2 provisioning now actually works for
multi-node mesh deployments.
Closes#279

process_frame() is CPU-intensive (biquad filters, Welford stats,
BPM estimation, multi-person vitals) and can run for several ms.
At priority 5, edge_dsp starves IDLE1 (priority 0) on Core 1,
triggering the task watchdog every 5 seconds.
Fix: vTaskDelay(1) after every frame to let IDLE1 reset the
watchdog. At 20 Hz CSI rate this adds ~1 ms per frame —
negligible for vitals extraction.
Verified on real ESP32-S3 with live WiFi CSI: 0 watchdog
triggers in 60 seconds (was triggering every 5s before fix).

* fix(firmware): fall detection false positives + 4MB flash support (#263, #265)
Issue #263: Default fall_thresh raised from 2.0 to 15.0 rad/s² — normal
walking produces accelerations of 2.5-5.0 which triggered constant false
"Fall Detected" alerts. Added consecutive-frame requirement (3 frames)
and 5-second cooldown debounce to prevent alert storms.
Issue #265: Added partitions_4mb.csv and sdkconfig.defaults.4mb for
ESP32-S3 boards with 4MB flash (e.g. SuperMini). OTA slots are 1.856MB
each, fitting the ~978KB firmware binary with room to spare.

Bump cache key v4→v5 to force rebuild with new dep.
