Background
`0xC511_0004` was assigned to two different packet formats in firmware
— `EDGE_FUSED_MAGIC` (ADR-063, 48-byte `edge_fused_vitals_pkt_t`) and
`WASM_OUTPUT_MAGIC` (ADR-040, variable-length `wasm_output_pkt_t`).
Both were transmitted. The sensing-server only had a WASM parser for
that magic and no fused-vitals parser, so on the ESP32-C6 + MR60BHA2
mmWave configuration the fused-vitals packet was silently misparsed
as a malformed WASM output — `breathing_rate` was read as
`event_count`, mmWave-fused vitals were lost, and spurious WASM events
were emitted to subscribers.
Fix
1. Reassign `WASM_OUTPUT_MAGIC` to `0xC511_0007` (next free slot per
the registry in `rv_feature_state.h`). Smaller blast radius than
moving fused-vitals — the registry already treats `0xC511_0004` as
fused-vitals canonical and several years of deployed feature
tracking depends on that assignment.
2. Add `parse_edge_fused_vitals` + `EdgeFusedVitalsPacket` in
`wifi-densepose-sensing-server::main`. Byte layout taken directly
from `edge_processing.h:129`, mirroring the firmware's
`_Static_assert(sizeof(edge_fused_vitals_pkt_t) == 48)` so future
firmware changes that grow the packet will break this parser
loudly instead of silently.
3. Add a dispatch arm in the UDP receive loop. Fused-vitals is tried
BEFORE WASM so a stale firmware (still emitting 0xC511_0004 with
the WASM payload) fails to parse as fused-vitals (size mismatch),
then fails to parse as WASM (magic mismatch on the new 0x...0007),
and gets dropped — a deliberate "fail loud" outcome rather than the
pre-fix silent garbage.
4. Update the registry comment in `rv_feature_state.h` to add the new
0x...0007 row.
5. Add five tests in a new `issue_928_magic_collision_tests` mod:
- `parse_edge_fused_vitals_extracts_fields_correctly`
- `parse_edge_fused_vitals_rejects_short_buffer`
- `parse_edge_fused_vitals_rejects_wrong_magic`
- `parse_wasm_output_rejects_legacy_0004_magic`
- `parse_wasm_output_accepts_new_0007_magic`
WebSocket payload
Fused-vitals now broadcasts as `{"type": "edge_fused_vitals", ...}`
with the mmWave-specific block nested under `mmwave`. Schema is
additive — existing subscribers that only inspect `type` are
unaffected; subscribers that switch on `type` gain a new branch.
Deployment note
This is a wire-protocol change. Firmware older than this commit that
emits WASM output on 0xC511_0004 will lose its WASM event stream
against an updated host (host expects 0xC511_0007). Per the issue
discussion, "fail loud" is preferred to silent misparsing. Operators
running C6+mmWave should reflash firmware concurrent with the host
upgrade.

wifi-densepose-sensing-server
Lightweight Axum server for real-time WiFi sensing with RuVector signal processing.
Overview
wifi-densepose-sensing-server is the operational backend for WiFi-DensePose. It receives raw CSI
frames from ESP32 hardware over UDP, runs them through the RuVector-powered signal processing
pipeline, and broadcasts processed sensing updates to browser clients via WebSocket. A built-in
static file server hosts the sensing UI on the same port.
The crate ships both a library (wifi_densepose_sensing_server) exposing the training and inference
modules, and a binary (sensing-server) that starts the full server stack.
Integrates wifi-densepose-wifiscan for multi-BSSID WiFi scanning per ADR-022 Phase 3.
Features
- UDP CSI ingestion -- Receives ESP32 CSI frames on port 5005 and parses them into the internal
CsiFramerepresentation. - Vital sign detection -- Pure-Rust FFT-based breathing rate (0.1--0.5 Hz) and heart rate (0.67--2.0 Hz) estimation from CSI amplitude time series (ADR-021).
- RVF container -- Standalone binary container format for packaging model weights, metadata, and
configuration into a single
.rvffile with 64-byte aligned segments. - RVF pipeline -- Progressive model loading with streaming segment decoding.
- Graph Transformer -- Cross-attention bottleneck between antenna-space CSI features and the
COCO 17-keypoint body graph, followed by GCN message passing (ADR-023 Phase 2). Pure
std, no ML dependencies. - SONA adaptation -- LoRA + EWC++ online adaptation for environment drift without catastrophic forgetting (ADR-023 Phase 5).
- Contrastive CSI embeddings -- Self-supervised SimCLR-style pretraining with InfoNCE loss, projection head, fingerprint indexing, and cross-modal pose alignment (ADR-024).
- Sparse inference -- Activation profiling, sparse matrix-vector multiply, INT8/FP16 quantization, and a full sparse inference engine for edge deployment (ADR-023 Phase 6).
- Dataset pipeline -- Training dataset loading and batching.
- Multi-BSSID scanning -- Windows
netshintegration for BSSID discovery viawifi-densepose-wifiscan(ADR-022). - WebSocket broadcast -- Real-time sensing updates pushed to all connected clients at
ws://localhost:8765/ws/sensing. - Static file serving -- Hosts the sensing UI on port 8080 with CORS headers.

Quick Start
# Build the server

# Run with default settings (HTTP :8080, UDP :5005, WS :8765)
cargo run -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server
# Run with custom ports
cargo run -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server -- \

Using as a library
use wifi_densepose_sensing_server::vital_signs::VitalSignDetector;
// Create a detector with 20 Hz sample rate
let mut detector = VitalSignDetector::new(20.0);
// Feed CSI amplitude samples
for amplitude in csi_amplitudes.iter() {
detector.push_sample(*amplitude);
}
// Extract vital signs
if let Some(vitals) = detector.detect() {
println!("Breathing: {:.1} BPM", vitals.breathing_rate_bpm);
println!("Heart rate: {:.0} BPM", vitals.heart_rate_bpm);
