End-to-end deployment fixes that took the two ESP32-S3 sensor boards
(room01, room02) from "boots but DSP frozen, OTA always rolls back" to
"motion/presence/breathing all live, two consecutive OTA round-trips
succeed". Full forensic write-up in docs/adr/ADR-098.
Firmware (firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/):
* csi_collector.c — remove esp_wifi_set_promiscuous(true): this call
silenced the CSI RX callback entirely on this silicon revision
(yield=0pps). Without it, callbacks resume at ~5-10 pps.
* edge_processing.c — root cause: incoming CSI frames carry 192
subcarriers but EDGE_MAX_SUBCARRIERS=128, so the size check
early-returned every frame and Step 8 (motion) never ran. Truncate
to 128 + warn once instead of returning.
* edge_processing.c — replace per-bin unwrapped-phase variance with
temporal variance of per-frame broadband mean amplitude. Empirical
separation on deployed hardware: empty 0.07-0.10, walking 3.5-14
(~44x). Scaled by /3.0 and clamped to [0,1].
* edge_processing.c — biquad fs 20.0 -> 10.0, matching the actual
callback rate (was halving the breathing passband).
* ota_update.c — OTA_WITH_SEQUENTIAL_WRITES -> OTA_SIZE_UNKNOWN to
erase the full target partition (stale tail of the previous larger
image was crashing the new image on boot, looking like rollback).
* ota_update.c — httpd_config_t.stack_size = 8192 (default 4 KB
overflowed in OTA verify path).
* main.c — log esp_reset_reason() and running_partition->label once
at app_main start, so OTA outcomes are visible without guesswork.
* sdkconfig.defaults — local deployment defaults: tier=2, display
disabled (no expander on these boards), 8192 timer stack.
Sensing server (v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/):
* src/main.rs — parse_rv_feature_state() for the 0xC5110006
feature_state packet that RuView FW emits by default; this format
was previously unhandled. Wire ahead of parse_esp32_vitals.
* src/main.rs — BaselineTracker with hysteretic motion gating on top
of FW-reported scores, so UI sees clean boolean presence transitions.
* src/main.rs — refuse --source simulate; remove auto-fallback to
synthetic data. Production builds never run on fake signals.
* src/main.rs/csi.rs — parse_csi_lean() for legacy FW 5.47 CSV
packets; defence-in-depth for mistakenly flashed legacy sensors.
Desktop UI (v2/crates/wifi-densepose-desktop/):
* src/commands/discovery.rs — third discovery path: HTTP /status sweep
across the local /24 in parallel with mDNS/UDP. mDNS+UDP-beacon are
not advertised by current RuView FW. Replace sequential
for-task-in-tasks select-with-deadline (which blocked on slow
unrelated IPs) with futures::join_all + overall timeout.
* src/commands/server.rs — pass --bind-addr (was --bind); pass
RUST_LOG env instead of unsupported --log-level; auto-load bundled
wifi-densepose-v1.rvf next to the binary; reasonable defaults
(esp32 source, 0.0.0.0 bind).
* ui/* — keep last good node list when a poll returns 0 (discovery
is jittery on busy LANs); 8 s timeout (was 3 s); remove "simulate"
from DataSource enum and Sensing dropdown; default Sensing source
esp32.
Mobile UI (ui/mobile/):
* constants/websocket.ts — WS_PATH '/ws/sensing' + WS_PORT 8765 to
match the RuView sensing-server's WS endpoint (was the legacy
FastAPI /api/v1/stream/pose).
* services/ws.service.ts — derive WS host from serverUrl but use
WS_PORT; remove simulation fallback paths entirely (no
generateSimulatedData, no startSimulation on reconnect failure).
* stores/settingsStore.ts — serverUrl defaults to
http://100.123.189.10:8080 (deployed Mac's Tailscale IP), so the
phone connects from any network without LAN dependency.
* stores/matStore.ts — default dataSource='real',
simulationAcknowledged=true; no synthetic triage data.
* screens/MATScreen, VitalsScreen — hide simulation overlay/badge.
Docker:
* docker/docker-compose.yml — sensing-server host port 5005 -> 5006
to match the RuView FW's compiled CSI_TARGET_PORT default.
Documentation:
* docs/adr/ADR-098-esp32s3-csi-deployment-fixes.md — full forensic
ADR covering each decision, the empirical numbers that drove it,
the false hypotheses we ruled out along the way, and open items.
Verified on hardware (both nodes):
* motion empty < 0.05 (room01 0.018, room02 0.070)
* motion walking > 0.3 within 1-3 s, saturates at 1.0
* motion decay < 0.1 within 5 s after leaving
* breathing 21-22 BPM detected after ~30 s stationary
* two consecutive OTA round-trips succeed without USB intervention
* discovery finds both sensors via HTTP sweep in <2 s
