Adds the BFLD-Privacy-Class custom HomeKit Characteristic UUID +
specification + run-time write hook to ruview-hap-bridge.py.
BFLD_PRIVACY_CLASS_UUID = "8B0E1C00-0001-4B0E-9C00-1234567890AB"
display_name = "BFLD Privacy Class"
Format = uint8 (legal values: 2=Anonymous, 3=Restricted)
Permissions = pr, ev (paired-read + event-notify)
Eve.app + Controller for HomeKit render this as an integer 2..3
under the MotionSensor service; Home.app ignores unknown UUIDs but
automations can still trigger on it.
Implementation status: SCAFFOLD-ONLY. The runtime add of the
Characteristic via `Service.add_characteristic(...)` was attempted
and reverted because HAP-python's public API does not bind
`broker` + `iid_manager` for hand-constructed Characteristic objects —
the iPhone's first `/accessories` GET fails with
`'AccessoryDriver' object has no attribute 'iid_manager'` (the
broker plumbing in HAP-python ≥ 4.x lives on the Accessory, not the
driver, and Service.add_characteristic doesn't traverse the chain).
The cleanest fix uses HAP-python's custom-service JSON loader (a
follow-up iter writes a `ruview-custom-services.json` and calls
`add_preload_service("BfldStatus", chars=[...])`). This iter ships:
- the UUID constant (won't change across implementations)
- the design spec inline in the code (Format / Permissions / range)
- the run-time write path under `if self.c_privacy_class is not None`
(no-op until the next iter wires the loader)
The production bridge is verified back online with this iter:
Living Room: Motion -> True, Occupancy -> True
mDNS: RuView Sensing 0B4FC4 advertising on _hap._tcp
Closes the design half of the last open Tier 1+2 item. The runtime
half is a small follow-up — the heavy lifting (UUID picked, where
it attaches, what values are legal) is done.

scripts/ruview-hap-bridge.py (~170 LOC) implements the ADR-125 §2.1.c
topology decision: ONE bridge `RuView Sensing`, N children — one per
room — so the operator pairs once and gets per-room accessories that
Siri can address by name ("is there motion in the kitchen?").
State per room comes from /tmp/ruview-state.<room>.json. When a C6
is provisioned with --room kitchen its watcher writes to
/tmp/ruview-state.kitchen.json; the bridge auto-discovers it on next
launch (no code change for additional nodes).
Legacy /tmp/ruview-state.json (iter 1-2 single-file IPC) maps to the
--legacy-room name (default: 'Living Room') for backwards compat.
The bridge runs on port 51827 (test bridge stays on 51826) with a
separate persist file so the iter-1-paired RuView Test Bridge keeps
working — operator can pair the production bridge, validate, then
remove the test bridge in the Home app whenever.
Pivot note: this iter's original target was AirPlay 2 voice
synthesis via pyatv. pyatv installed successfully and atvremote scan
ran but the HomePod was NOT visible from ruv-mac-mini (only Mac mini,
Samsung TV, Fire TV showed up) — the same mDNS-Ethernet-to-WiFi
gap the operator's router doesn't bridge. AirPlay 2 push therefore
deferred until the operator enables Bonjour reflector on the AP.
Multi-room bridge ships first because it's unblocked AND directly
satisfies the Siri-by-room-name UX.
Empirical (deployed on ruv-mac-mini, prod_bridge_pid=64094):
$ dns-sd -B _hap._tcp local.
Add 3 15 local. _hap._tcp. RuView Test Bridge 224DF9
Add 3 15 local. _hap._tcp. RuView Sensing 0B4FC4
Add 3 15 local. _hap._tcp. Main Floor (Ecobee)
[bridge] child accessory ready: 'Living Room' <- /tmp/ruview-state.json
[bridge] Living Room: Motion -> True
[bridge] Living Room: Occupancy -> True (Siri: 'is anyone in the living room?')
Setup code for pairing the new bridge: 629-88-678.
Tier 1 §2.1.c (topology) + the "name-it-by-room for Siri" lever from
my own earlier strategy table — both shipped in one commit.
