`firmware/esp32-csi-node` now builds for both `esp32s3` (existing
production) and `esp32c6` (new research / battery-seed target) from
the same source tree. ESP-IDF auto-applies `sdkconfig.defaults.esp32c6`
when the target is set to esp32c6; every C6 module is gated on
CONFIG_IDF_TARGET_ESP32C6 (or the SOC_WIFI_HE_SUPPORT capability) so
the S3 build path is byte-identical to today.
New modules (all #ifdef-gated, no-op stubs on S3):
- c6_twt.{h,c} — iTWT wrapper, graceful AP-NACK fallback
- c6_timesync.{h,c} — 802.15.4 beacon-based mesh time-sync, EUI-64
leader election, c6_timesync_get_epoch_us()
- c6_lp_core.{h,c} — wake-on-motion deep-sleep helper (ext1 path
this cut; real LP-core polling deferred)
ADR-018 frame extension:
- byte 18: PPDU type (0=HT/legacy, 1=HE-SU, 2=HE-MU, 3=HE-TB)
- byte 19: bandwidth + STBC + 802.15.4-sync-valid flags
- Magic 0xC5110001 unchanged — backwards compatible
- Dual-branch encoding handles both struct variants of
wifi_pkt_rx_ctrl_t (legacy S3 / HE C6) per CONFIG_SOC_WIFI_HE_SUPPORT
Critical bug fixed during live witness collection (verified across 3
boards on COM6/COM9/COM12):
- c6_timesync.c read MAC into a 6-byte buffer and ran MAC-48->EUI-64
conversion. But esp_read_mac(ESP_MAC_IEEE802154) returns 8 bytes
already in EUI-64 form on C6 — code was double-inserting FFFE.
Boot log was 206ef1fffefffe17, fix yields 206ef1fffe17278c which
matches esptool's eFuse reading exactly.
Tooling:
- CI workflow (firmware-ci.yml) extended with c6-4mb matrix row +
ADR-110 host-unit-test step
- Host unit tests for pure functions (mac48_to_eui64,
eui64_bytes_to_u64, PPDU encoding both branches) — runs on Ubuntu CI
- Multi-board live-capture harness (test/capture-3board-experiment.py)
- Witness bundle script records SHA-256s for s3-adr110, c6-adr110, and
s3-fair-adr110 (apples-to-apples) binary archives
Honest empirical findings (full report in docs/WITNESS-LOG-110.md):
- Verified live on 3 C6 boards: boot, 802.15.4 init w/ correct EUIs,
WiFi STA reaching assoc->run on ruv.net, TWT setup attempted +
gracefully NACKed (AP is 11n-only, TWT Responder:0), HE-MAC firmware
loaded
- NOT verified (need 11ax AP / second-channel exp / INA meter):
HE-LTF subcarrier expansion, TWT cadence determinism, ±100 µs sync
alignment, 5 µA hibernation
- Bug found: leader election doesn't step down under live WiFi load —
likely 2.4 GHz radio coex preemption (WiFi ch 5 vs 15.4 ch 15);
follow-up task #30
- Apples-to-apples size: S3-no-display = 886 KB, C6 = 1003 KB
(C6 is 13% LARGER for equivalent CSI features; the extra is the
802.15.4 + OpenThread stack that S3 lacks)

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).
Fix-marker RuView#683 added to scripts/fix-markers.json.

* 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
