WITNESS-LOG-110 prior state had byte 19 bit 4 (cross-node sync valid)
only being set from c6_timesync_is_valid() — but c6_timesync is the
802.15.4 path that D1 documented as unfixable in IDF v5.4 (rx=0 across
every soak we've run). The working transport is c6_sync_espnow (§A0.7,
§A0.10: 99.43-99.56% RX cross-board, 104 µs smoothed-offset stdev),
yet frames from sync'd nodes had bit 4 cleared because the ESP-NOW
path didn't OR into the flag.
Fix: also set bit 4 when c6_sync_espnow_is_valid() — the OR semantic
means a node signals sync from whichever transport is healthy. Host
sees bit 4 set, knows to pair the frame against the most recent sync
packet (§A0.12) from this node_id.
Side effect: this also enables S3 boards to set bit 4 (c6_sync_espnow
works on both targets, c6_timesync is C6-only). So a multi-target
mesh of S3+C6 boards now correctly signals cross-node alignment
regardless of which chips are in the fleet.
Build evidence: C6 image 1019 KB (+16 bytes for the new check),
45% slack unchanged.

Bundles the iter 8 + iter 9 sync-packet work (§A0.11 + §A0.12) into a
shipped release. v0.6.8 didn't carry the sync emission; v0.6.9 closes
the loop.
What ships:
- csi_collector emits a 32-byte UDP sync packet (magic 0xC511A110)
every CONFIG_C6_SYNC_EVERY_N_FRAMES CSI callbacks (default 20).
- New Kconfig knob lets operators tune cadence from ~0.1 Hz (N=1000)
to ~10 Hz (N=1) without rebuilding — sensible defaults for
mainstream multistatic at ~2 s sync interval.
- Backwards-compatible at the wire level: old aggregators drop the new
magic on existing parser mismatch path.
Build artifacts (both green on IDF v5.4):
- S3 8 MB: 1094 KB, 47% partition slack
- C6 4 MB: 1019 KB, 45% partition slack
The macro define was renamed from SYNC_EVERY_N_FRAMES to
CONFIG_C6_SYNC_EVERY_N_FRAMES so the Kconfig generator wires through.
Header guard preserves the default for builds without the kconfig
applied.

SOTA iter 9 — closes the §A0.11 wiring gap with empirical evidence.
Added a diagnostic ESP_LOGI in the sync emit path; flashed both C6
boards; captured 45s parallel serial output.
Sync packet generation confirmed live:
COM12 (leader, ...00:84):
sync-pkt #1 ... node=12 flags=0x03 local_us=28864932 epoch_us=28864939
flags=0x03 = leader+valid, epoch ≈ local (7 µs delta = call-stack
elapsed only — leader has no offset by definition)
COM9 (follower, ...05:3c):
sync-pkt #1 ... node=9 flags=0x06 local_us=28798450 epoch_us=27634885
flags=0x06 = valid+smoothed_used, local-epoch = 1,163,565 µs
Matches §A0.10's measured -1.16 s mesh-aligned offset within 285 µs
(WiFi MAC TX jitter floor between samples).
Cadence: 2.05 s between sync packets — 20 CSI frames at the bench's
observed 10 fps rate = exactly the design intent.
UDP send returns -1 (sr=-1) because the bench boards are intentionally
not associated to a real AP (provisioned to dead SSIDs for the iter
2-8 mesh experiments). No crash, no resource leak in 45s. Once boards
hit a routable network, sr becomes the byte count.
Wiring gap §A0.11 now CLOSED. Multistatic CSI fusion downstream has
a documented protocol to recover mesh-aligned timestamps for every CSI
frame: host pairs (node_id, sequence) across the two packet streams.
Host-side parser is the natural next layer (wifi-densepose-sensing-server).
Build evidence: C6 image 1019 KB (+0.5 KB for the diag log line),
45% partition slack unchanged.

Closes WITNESS-LOG-110 §A0.11 wiring gap. Adds a separate 32-byte UDP
packet (magic 0xC511A110, distinct from the CSI frame magic 0xC5110001)
carrying:
[0..3] magic 0xC511A110 (LE u32) — CSI-ADR-110 sync packet
[4] node_id
[5] proto version (0x01)
[6] flags: bit0=is_leader, bit1=is_valid, bit2=smoothed_used
[7] reserved
[8..15] local esp_timer_get_time() (LE u64)
[16..23] mesh-aligned epoch (LE u64) = local + EMA-smoothed offset
[24..27] high-water sequence number (LE u32) for pairing with CSI frames
[28..31] reserved (room for leader_id low32 in a follow-up)
Emitted once per 20 CSI frames (≈ 1 Hz at the 20 Hz send-rate gate).
Same stream_sender UDP socket as CSI frames — host dispatches by first
4 bytes of each datagram.
Backwards compatible: aggregators that don't know about the new magic
ignore it (sync packets won't match the CSI parser's magic check, so
they're dropped harmlessly by existing receivers). New aggregators
pair (node_id, sequence) across the two packet streams to align CSI
frames to mesh time.
Sets us up for downstream ADR-029/030 multistatic CSI fusion: with the
host now able to recover the mesh-aligned epoch from each frame's
sequence number, frames from multiple boards can be ordered + fused
on a common timeline.
Build evidence: C6 image 1019 KB (+1 KB vs v0.6.8 no-sync), 45 %
partition slack unchanged. Host-side parser update is a follow-up.

`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)

csi_collector_init() never called esp_wifi_set_ps(), leaving the radio on
the ESP-IDF STA default WIFI_PS_MIN_MODEM. The modem then sleeps between
DTIM beacons; combined with the MGMT-only promiscuous filter (#396) the
CSI callback is starved and the per-second yield collapses toward 0 pps,
which is what users on a clean multi-node setup were seeing
(motion=0.00 presence=0.00 yield=0pps).
Force WIFI_PS_NONE before enabling promiscuous mode — the textbook
requirement for reliable CSI capture (every ESP-IDF CSI example does it).
New boot line: "csi_collector: WiFi modem sleep disabled (WIFI_PS_NONE)
for CSI capture". Battery duty-cycling is unaffected: power_mgmt_init()
runs after this and re-enables modem sleep when provision.py is given
--duty-cycle <100.
Builds clean for esp32s3 (idf.py build, 48% flash free).

* 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.

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.

- provision.py: add --channel (CSI channel override) and --filter-mac

- nvs_config: add csi_channel, filter_mac[6], filter_mac_set fields;
read from NVS on boot
- csi_collector: auto-detect AP channel when no NVS override is set;
filter CSI frames by source MAC when filter_mac is configured
- ADR-060 documents the design and rationale
Fixes#247, fixes#229
The committed sdkconfig had CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_CSI_ENABLED disabled, causing
all builds to crash at runtime with "CSI not enabled in menuconfig".
Root cause: sdkconfig.defaults.template existed but ESP-IDF only reads
sdkconfig.defaults (no .template suffix).
Fixes:
- Add sdkconfig.defaults with CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_CSI_ENABLED=y
- Add #error compile guard in csi_collector.c to prevent recurrence
- Fix NVS encryption default (requires eFuse, breaks clean builds)
Verified: Docker build + flash to ESP32-S3 + CSI callbacks confirmed.

The CSI callback fires for every WiFi frame in promiscuous mode
(100-500+ fps). Each call invoked sendto() synchronously, exhausting
lwIP packet buffers (errno 12 = ENOMEM). The rapid-fire failures
cascaded into a LoadProhibited guru meditation crash.
Two fixes:
1. csi_collector.c: Rate-limit UDP sends to 50 Hz (20ms interval).
CSI frames arriving between sends are dropped — the sensing
pipeline only needs 20-50 Hz.
2. stream_sender.c: When sendto fails with ENOMEM, suppress further
sends for 100ms to let lwIP reclaim buffers. Logs the backoff
event and resumes automatically.
Closes#127
* feat: add MAC address filter for ESP32 CSI collection
In multi-AP environments, CSI frames from different access points get
mixed together, corrupting the sensing signal. Add transmitter MAC
filtering so only frames from a specified AP are processed.
Implementation:
- csi_collector: filter in wifi_csi_callback by comparing info->mac
against configured MAC; log transmitter MAC in periodic debug output
- csi_collector_set_filter_mac(): runtime API to enable/disable filter
- Kconfig: CSI_FILTER_MAC option (format "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF")
- NVS: "filter_mac" 6-byte blob overrides Kconfig at runtime
- nvs_config: parse Kconfig MAC string at boot, load NVS override
- main: apply filter from config after csi_collector_init()
When no filter is configured (default), behavior is unchanged —
all transmitter MACs are accepted for backward compatibility.
