v0.5.5-esp32

# v0.5.5 — Advanced Sensing, WiFlow Architecture, Camera-Free Pose Training

## TL;DR

Your $27 sensor kit now has **spiking neural networks** that learn your room in 30 seconds, **min-cut person counting** that actually works (fixes #348), **CNN spectrogram embeddings** for environment fingerprinting, **multi-frequency mesh scanning** across 6 WiFi channels, and the **WiFlow SOTA architecture** (1.8M params) for 17-keypoint pose estimation — all trainable **without a camera**.

## What Changed (v0.5.4 → v0.5.5)

| Feature | v0.5.4 | v0.5.5 |
|---------|--------|--------|
| Person counting | Broken (always 4) | **MinCut: correct count** (fixes #348) |
| WiFi channels | 1 (ch 5 only) | **6 channels** (hopping 1/3/5/6/9/11) |
| Pose model | Simple 8→64→128 encoder | **WiFlow: TCN + axial attention** (1.8M params) |
| Pose keypoints | 5 proxy → 17 interpolated | **17 COCO keypoints** (WiFlow decoder) |
| Online learning | None | **SNN with STDP** (adapts in <30s) |
| Environment fingerprint | 8-dim features | **128-dim CNN spectrogram** |
| Multi-node fusion | Average | **Graph transformer** (GATv2 attention) |
| RF scanning | None | **Live spectrum visualization** |
| Neighbor WiFi | Ignored | **Used as passive radar illuminators** |
| Training pipeline | ruvllm basic | **+ camera-free + WiFlow + GCloud + Mac Mini** |
| ADRs | 069-071 | **069-076** (8 total) |

## New Capabilities

### ADR-073: Multi-Frequency Mesh Scanning
ESP32 nodes hop across channels 1/3/5/6/9/11 at 200ms dwell. Neighbor WiFi networks (your printer, router, neighbors) become free RF illuminators. Null subcarriers dropped from 19% to 16%.

```bash
# Provision channel hopping
python firmware/esp32-csi-node/provision.py --port COM9 \
  --hop-channels "1,6,11" --hop-dwell 200

# Live RF scan
node scripts/rf-scan.js --port 5006 --duration 30
```

### ADR-074: Spiking Neural Network
128→64→8 SNN with STDP unsupervised learning. Adapts to room in <30s without labels. 16-160x less compute than the FC encoder (event-driven, only processes changes).

```bash
node scripts/snn-csi-processor.js --port 5006
```

### ADR-075: MinCut Person Separation (fixes #348)
Stoer-Wagner min-cut on subcarrier correlation graph. **Correctly counts 1 person** on all 24 test windows where old firmware showed 4. <5ms per window.

```bash
node scripts/mincut-person-counter.js --port 5006
# Or replay: node scripts/mincut-person-counter.js --replay data/recordings/*.csi.jsonl
```

### ADR-076: CNN Spectrogram Embeddings + Graph Transformer
CSI 64×20 matrix → 224×224 grayscale → CNN → 128-dim embedding. Same-node similarity 0.95+. GATv2 multi-head attention fuses multi-node features.

```bash
node scripts/csi-spectrogram.js --replay data/recordings/*.csi.jsonl
node scripts/mesh-graph-transformer.js --port 5006
```

### ADR-072: WiFlow SOTA Architecture
Full reimplementation of WiFlow (arXiv:2602.08661) in pure JS:
- TCN temporal encoder (dilated causal conv, k=7)
- Asymmetric spatial encoder (1×3 residual blocks)
- Axial self-attention (8 heads, width + height)
- Pose decoder → 17 COCO keypoints
- SmoothL1 + bone constraint loss (14 skeleton connections)
- 1.8M parameters (881 KB at 4-bit quantization)

### Camera-Free Training (ADR-071 extended)
10 sensor signals replace cameras: PIR, BME280 temp/humidity, RSSI triangulation, subcarrier asymmetry, vibration, reed switch, kNN clusters, boundary fragility.

5-phase pipeline: multi-modal collection → weak labels → 5-keypoint proxy → 17-keypoint interpolation → self-refinement.

## Flash Instructions

Same firmware binary as v0.5.4 (channel hopping is NVS-configured, no reflash needed for existing v0.5.4 users):

```bash
python -m esptool --chip esp32s3 --port COM9 --baud 460800 \
  write_flash --flash-mode dio --flash-size 8MB --flash-freq 80m \
  0x0 bootloader.bin 0x8000 partition-table.bin \
  0xf000 ota_data_initial.bin 0x20000 esp32-csi-node.bin

# Enable channel hopping (new in v0.5.5)
python firmware/esp32-csi-node/provision.py --port COM9 \
  --hop-channels "1,6,11" --hop-dwell 200
```
