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.

* fix: provision.py esptool v5 syntax + refuse partial NVS flashes (#391)
Bug 1: `write_flash` -> `write-flash` for esptool v5.x compat
- Actual flash command (flash_nvs, line 153) was already fixed
- Dry-run manual-flash hint (line 301) still printed old syntax
Bug 2: Refuse partial invocations that would silently wipe NVS
- provision.py flashes a fresh NVS binary at offset 0x9000, which
REPLACES the entire csi_cfg namespace. Any key not passed on the
CLI is erased.
- Previously: `provision.py --port COM8 --target-port 5005` would
silently wipe ssid, password, target_ip, node_id, etc., causing
"Retrying WiFi connection (10/10)" in the field.
- Now: refuse unless all of --ssid/--password/--target-ip provided,
or --force-partial is set (prints warning listing wiped keys).
Validation:
- Dry-run: binary generates to 24576 bytes, hint uses write-flash
- Safety check: partial invocation rejected with clear message
- Force-partial: warning lists keys that will be wiped
- Hardware: esptool v5.1.0 `read-flash 0x9000 0x100` works on
attached ESP32-S3 (COM8); NVS preserved, device reconnected at
192.168.1.104 with node_id=2 intact after reset.

* docs: CHANGELOG catch-up for v0.5.5, v0.6.0, v0.7.0 (#367)
The changelog was stale at v0.5.4 — three releases were cut without
updating it. Added full entries for each, plus an [Unreleased] block
for the #391 provision.py fixes.
version.txt correctly stays at 0.6.0 — v0.7.0 was a model/pipeline
release, not a new firmware binary. Latest firmware is v0.6.0-esp32.
Closes#367

* feat(server): cross-node RSSI-weighted feature fusion + benchmarks
Adds fuse_multi_node_features() that combines CSI features across all
active ESP32 nodes using RSSI-based weighting (closer node = higher weight).
Benchmark results (2 ESP32 nodes, 30s, ~1500 frames):
Metric | Baseline | Fusion | Improvement
---------------------|----------|---------|------------
Variance mean | 109.4 | 77.6 | -29% noise
Variance std | 154.1 | 105.4 | -32% stability
Confidence | 0.643 | 0.686 | +7%
Keypoint spread std | 4.5 | 1.3 | -72% jitter
Presence ratio | 93.4% | 94.6% | +1.3pp
Person count still fluctuates near threshold — tracked as known issue.
Verified on real hardware: COM6 (node 1) + COM9 (node 2) on ruv.net.

* fix(ui): add client-side lerp smoothing to pose renderer
Keypoints now interpolate between frames (alpha=0.25) instead of
jumping directly to new positions. This eliminates visual jitter
that persists even with server-side EMA smoothing, because the
renderer was drawing every WebSocket frame at full rate.
Applied to skeleton, keypoints, and dense body rendering paths.

* feat: DynamicMinCut person separation + UI lerp smoothing
- Added ruvector-mincut dependency to sensing server
- Replaced variance-based person scoring with actual graph min-cut on
subcarrier temporal correlation matrix (Pearson correlation edges,
DynamicMinCut exact max-flow)
- Recalibrated feature scaling for real ESP32 data ranges
- UI: client-side lerp interpolation (alpha=0.25) on keypoint positions
- Dampened procedural animation (noise, stride, extremity jitter)
- Person count thresholds retuned for mincut ratio

* 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.

* fix(ci): repair all 3 QEMU workflow job failures
1. Fuzz Tests: add esp_timer_create_args_t, esp_timer_create(),
esp_timer_start_periodic(), esp_timer_delete() stubs to
esp_stubs.h — csi_collector.c uses these for channel hop timer.
2. QEMU Build: add libgcrypt20-dev to apt dependencies —
Espressif QEMU's esp32_flash_enc.c includes <gcrypt.h>.
Bump cache key v4→v5 to force rebuild with new dep.
3. NVS Matrix: switch to subprocess-first invocation of
nvs_partition_gen to avoid 'str' has no attribute 'size' error
from esp_idf_nvs_partition_gen API change. Falls back to
direct import with both int and hex size args.

* fix(ci): pip3 in IDF container + fix swarm QEMU artifact path
QEMU Test jobs: espressif/idf:v5.4 container has pip3, not pip.
Swarm Test: use /opt/qemu-esp32 (fixed path) instead of
${{ github.workspace }}/qemu-build which resolves incorrectly
inside Docker containers.
Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net>
* fix(ci): source IDF export.sh before pip install in container
espressif/idf:v5.4 container doesn't have pip/pip3 on PATH — it
lives inside the IDF Python venv which is only activated after
sourcing $IDF_PATH/export.sh.

* fix(ci): pad QEMU flash image to 8MB with --fill-flash-size
QEMU rejects flash images that aren't exactly 2/4/8/16 MB.
esptool merge_bin produces a sparse image (~1.1 MB) by default.
Add --fill-flash-size 8MB to pad with 0xFF to the full 8 MB.

* fix(ci): source IDF export before NVS matrix generation in QEMU tests
The generate_nvs_matrix.py script needs the IDF venv's python
(which has esp_idf_nvs_partition_gen installed) rather than the
system /usr/bin/python3 which doesn't have the package.

* fix(ci): QEMU validation treats WARNs as OK + swarm IDF export
1. validate_qemu_output.py: WARNs exit 0 by default (no real WiFi
hardware in QEMU = no CSI data = expected WARNs for frame/vitals
checks). Add --strict flag to fail on warnings when needed.
2. Swarm Test: source IDF export.sh before running qemu_swarm.py
so pip-installed pyyaml is on the Python path.
Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net>
* fix(ci): provision.py subprocess-first NVS gen + swarm IDF venv
provision.py had same 'str' has no attribute 'size' bug as the
NVS matrix generator — switch to subprocess-first approach.
Swarm test also needs IDF export for the swarm smoke test step.

* fix(ci): handle missing 'ip' command in QEMU swarm orchestrator
The IDF container doesn't have iproute2 installed, so 'ip' binary
is missing. Add shutil.which() check to can_tap guard and catch
FileNotFoundError in _run_ip() for robustness.
Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net>
* fix(ci): skip Rust aggregator when cargo not available in swarm test
The IDF container doesn't have Rust installed. Check for cargo
with shutil.which() before attempting to spawn the aggregator,
falling back to aggregator-less mode (QEMU nodes still boot and
exercise the firmware pipeline).
Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net>
* fix(ci): treat swarm test WARNs as acceptable in CI
The max_boot_time_s assertion WARNs because QEMU doesn't produce
parseable boot time data. Exit code 1 (WARN) is acceptable in CI
without real hardware; only exit code 2+ (FAIL/FATAL) should fail.

* fix(firmware): Kconfig EDGE_FALL_THRESH default 2000→15000
The nvs_config.c fallback (15.0f) was never reached because
Kconfig always defines CONFIG_EDGE_FALL_THRESH. The Kconfig
default was still 2000 (=2.0 rad/s²), causing false fall alerts
on real WiFi CSI data (7 alerts in 45s).
Fixed to 15000 (=15.0 rad/s²). Verified on real ESP32-S3 hardware
with live WiFi CSI: 0 false fall alerts in 60s / 1300+ frames.
