The pre-built binaries set a MGMT-only promiscuous filter
(WIFI_PROMIS_FILTER_MASK_MGMT) as the #396 workaround — DATA-frame
interrupt load races the QSPI display's SPI traffic against the SPI-flash
cache and crashes Core 0 in wDev_ProcessFiq. But MGMT-only fires the CSI
callback only on sparse management frames, so on the common DISPLAY-LESS
boards (DevKitC-1, T7-S3, N8R8) CSI yield collapses to 0 pps under real
traffic (#521) — the node looks dead despite being on the network, which
is the root cause of most "can't reproduce / it's fake" reports (#804/#37).
A board with no AMOLED panel has no QSPI/SPI-flash contention, so it can
safely capture DATA frames. After the boot-time display probe runs:
- display present -> keep MGMT-only (preserve #396 crash protection)
- no display -> upgrade filter to MGMT|DATA (restore CSI yield)
Implementation (runtime-gated, no boot reorder):
- display_task.c: s_display_active flag + display_is_active() accessor,
set true only when the panel is detected and the display task starts.
- csi_collector.c: csi_collector_enable_data_capture() re-sets the
promiscuous filter to MGMT|DATA.
- main.c: after display_task_start(), if !display_is_active() (or display
support not compiled in), upgrade the filter.
Build-verified on BOTH targets: esp32c6 (headless path) and esp32s3
(display path, display_task.c compiled) — Project build complete, RC 0.
Needs on-hardware confirmation that yield recovers and no #396 crash.

* 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.

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.
Closes#279

- provision.py: add --channel (CSI channel override) and --filter-mac
(AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF format) arguments with validation
- 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.
Closes#241

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.
