# ADR-028: ESP32 Capability Audit & Repository Witness Record

| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Status** | Accepted |
| **Date** | 2026-03-01 |
| **Deciders** | ruv |
| **Auditor** | Claude Opus 4.6 (3-agent parallel deep review) |
| **Witness Commit** | `96b01008` (main) |
| **Relates to** | ADR-012 (ESP32 CSI Sensor Mesh), ADR-018 (ESP32 Dev Implementation), ADR-014 (SOTA Signal Processing), ADR-027 (MERIDIAN) |

---

## 1. Purpose

This ADR records a comprehensive, independently audited inventory of the wifi-densepose repository's ESP32 hardware capabilities, signal processing stack, neural network architectures, deployment infrastructure, and security posture. It serves as a **witness record** — a point-in-time attestation that third parties can use to verify what the codebase actually contains vs. what is claimed.

---

## 2. Audit Methodology

Three parallel research agents examined the full repository simultaneously:

| Agent | Scope | Files Examined | Duration |
|-------|-------|---------------|----------|
| **Hardware Agent** | ESP32 chipsets, CSI frame format, firmware, pins, power, cost | Hardware crate, firmware/, signal/hardware_norm.rs | ~9 min |
| **Signal/AI Agent** | Algorithms, NN architectures, training, RuVector, all 27 ADRs | Signal, train, nn, mat, vitals crates + all ADRs | ~3.5 min |
| **Deployment Agent** | Docker, CI/CD, security, proofs, crates.io, WASM | Dockerfiles, workflows, proof/, config, API crates | ~2.5 min |

**Test execution at audit time:** 1,031 passed, 0 failed, 8 ignored (full workspace, `--no-default-features`).

## 7. What Is NOT Yet Implemented

| Claim | Actual Status | Gap |
|-------|--------------|-----|
| On-device ML inference (ESP32) | Not implemented | Firmware streams raw I/Q; all inference runs on aggregator |
| 54,000 fps throughput | Benchmark claim, not measured at audit time | Requires Criterion benchmarks on target hardware |
| INT8 quantization for ESP32 | Designed (ADR-023), not shipped | Model fits in 55 KB but no deployed quantized binary |
| Real WiFi CSI dataset | Synthetic only | No real-world captures in repo; MM-Fi/Wi-Pose referenced but not bundled |
| Kubernetes blue-green deploy | CI/CD workflow exists | Requires actual cluster; not testable in audit |
| Python proof hash | PASS (regenerated at audit time) | Requires numpy 2.4.2 + scipy 1.17.1 |

---

## 8. Decision

This ADR accepts the audit findings as a witness record. The repository contains substantial, functional code matching its documented claims with the exceptions noted in Section 7. All code compiles, all 1,031 tests pass, and the architecture is consistent across the 27 ADRs.

### Recommendations

1. **Bundle a small real CSI capture** (even 10 seconds from one ESP32) alongside the synthetic reference
3. **Run Criterion benchmarks** and record actual throughput numbers
4. **Publish ESP32 firmware** as a GitHub Release binary for COM7-ready flashing
