ProgressiveLoader rejected the published ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained model
with the opaque "invalid magic at offset 0: expected 0x52564653 (RVFS), got
0x77455735", then silently fell back to signal heuristics (the "10 persons for
1" garbage reporters saw). The HF repo ships model.safetensors,
model-q{2,4,8}.bin (magic 0x77455735 = "5WEw"), and model.rvf.jsonl -- none
carry the binary-RVF magic the loader wants.
- New model_format module: auto-detects RVFS / safetensors / HF-quant-bin /
JSONL by magic+name; returns a typed actionable ModelLoadError (lists accepted
formats + the one-command convert path, never the opaque magic); converts
safetensors / model.rvf.jsonl -> RVF in-memory so the published full-precision
model loads via --model.
- load_or_convert_model: native RVF first, else auto-detect+convert+load, else
typed error. The silent heuristics fallback is now a loud, actionable message.
- --convert-model <in> --convert-out <out> CLI subcommand: one-command offline
conversion, verifies the output loads before writing.
- #1031 env seam: WDP_TDM_SLOTS + WDP_TDM_SLOT_US derive the multistatic guard
from a deployment TDM schedule (default 60 ms / 20 ms otherwise).
Honest scope: the converter wires the format/load path (safetensors F32 tensors
-> RVF weight segment, manifest written, Layer A/B/C succeed, weights
round-trip). It does NOT claim end-to-end pose accuracy -- the HF pose-decoder
architecture differs from this crate inference head (data-gated in #894).
Quantized .bin blobs are rejected with a typed error pointing at safetensors.
Tests (fail on the old opaque-magic path):
- model_format::safetensors_converts_and_loads
- model_format::hf_quant_classifies_to_actionable_error
- model_format::{jsonl_converts_and_loads, convert_to_rvf_dispatches_and_rejects_quant, ...}
