dtourolle 9bcc765408 fix(ci): the builder image has no unzip, so the replay tier had no input
Traceability Validation / Check requirement traces (pull_request) Successful in 19s
Details
Unit tests / Build and run the GPU-free suite (pull_request) Successful in 3m25s
Details 
Found by CI itself, on run 1437 -- the first run that ever got far enough
to try. Everything ahead of it worked: checkout brought both submodules,
v2 pulled and passed its own version assert, and the fixtures resolved at
the pinned version. Then:

    scripts/artifacts/pull_artifacts.sh: line 54: unzip: command not found

The replay fixtures ship as a zip in the generic package registry and
pull_artifacts.sh unpacks them with unzip. Without it the step exits 127
and the T2 tier has no input -- reported as a missing fixture by the
verify step below, which is a missing tool wearing the wrong label.

Worth naming why the local rehearsal missed this and CI did not: the
rehearsal had the dumps staged in the working tree by hand, so it built
and ran the tier without ever executing the script that fetches them. The
image was checked against the build, not against the job.

Tag v2 -> v3, in all three places, in one commit.

dtourolle 3966e19a83 test: two tests still describe the registry as it was before 1477c53 
Both failed the first time CI was able to run this suite, and neither is
a new break. They assert semantics that two deliberate changes replaced,
and nothing noticed because nothing had ever executed them.

1477c53 (2026-08-09) made a dormant track associable only if it had been
identified: an unowned dormant track has no actor to re-attach to, so it
only enlarges the matcher's comparison set and invites a new face landing
on an anonymous stub. Its message records the trade -- "a small recall
cost (~1-3pp on some films, e.g. Lord of War -2.5) for a cleaner, bounded
pool. Kept deliberately." Both tests build tracks that are never
identified, so since that commit they are dropped from the pool one line
before the extinction horizon they were written to exercise. The tests
date from 2026-07-31 and 2026-08-08 -- they are older than the gate.
Fixed by owning the track while it is still on screen, which is what a
real run does and what makes the horizon reachable at all.

The second test needed more than that, and the rename says why. It was
built on association and reaping answering on DIFFERENT clocks -- the
tracker's for "may this associate?", the watermark for "is this
finished?" -- which is exactly the arrangement track_registry.hpp:184-203
now rules out: one clock, one threshold, "nothing is offered past its
reap horizon, nothing is reaped while still offerable". So there is no
longer an interval in which a track is retired from association but still
alive, and a test named for that interval cannot pass. Rewritten to
assert what the unified clock actually promises: a tracker racing 50 s
past the horizon retires nothing while the matcher lags, the votes in
flight still land, and the watermark passing the horizon retires, reaps
and emits in one step.

Kept: the AR-008 tag, the late-vote check and dropped_votes() == 0, which
were the point of the test and still hold.

Full suite now 151/151 in sae-builder-cpu.

dtourolle 5ce6394416 chore: update KPN — diagnostics.hpp includes the <vector> it uses
Traceability Validation / Check requirement traces (pull_request) Successful in 10s
Details
Unit tests / Build and run the GPU-free suite (pull_request) Failing after 40s
Details 
af9da7d on top of 5375ab4, and the reason it exists is this repository.

kpn/diagnostics.hpp declares NetworkSnapshot with two std::vector members
and has never included <vector>. It compiled everywhere we build because
something earlier in each translation unit dragged the definition in
first. src/benchmark.hpp includes <kpn/diagnostics.hpp> before its own
<vector>, and under Debian 12 / GCC 12 -- the CI image, and nothing we
develop on -- nothing supplies it, so the two members fail to declare and
every later use of .nodes or .channels fails after them. The errors all
name benchmark.hpp, so it reads as our bug until you look at the first
line of compiler output rather than the last.

This bump also crosses the four perf/phase0-harness commits between
5375ab4 and the pin, which is a larger move than a header fix and worth
being explicit about. Checked rather than assumed: the two tests failing
in CI fail identically with the pin at 771b9f8 plus the include fix
alone, so they are not this bump's doing. The perf work changes the
scheduler and pool; the failures are tracker extinction-window logic and
are reachable with no pool at all.

Also found while checking KPN's public headers standalone under GCC 12,
and NOT fixed there: network.hpp names IChannelProbe (channel.hpp:557)
without including channel.hpp -- the same latent bug, waiting for the
same kind of consumer. web_debug.hpp needs httplib.h, which is an
optional external dependency and not a defect.

dtourolle 80c23d39d1 fix(ci): sae-builder-cpu could not configure this repository at all 
v1 has no libfftw3. SAE_SCENE_XGB is on by default and pulls the learned
scene-boundary detector into result_sink, whose find_library(FFTW3_LIB
fftw3 REQUIRED) at CMakeLists.txt:377 runs at CONFIGURE time -- so cmake
fails before any target is chosen, and building only `sae_tests` does not
get you past it. The image predates the detector; nothing rebuilt it when
the detector landed, which is precisely the gap DP-007's own register row
records.

-DSAE_SCENE_XGB=OFF would also have made the configure pass. It is the
wrong fix and worth saying why: CI is the only place these tests run, so
a flag that silences a subsystem there silences it everywhere, and the
job would have gone green over a detector nobody was compiling.

The image's self-check gains a line, because an image that ships a
library CMake cannot find the way CMake looks for it is the failure this
block exists to catch. FFTW is checked as a bare .so rather than through
pkg-config, since find_library is what CMakeLists.txt actually calls --
checking fftw3.pc would pass on an image whose libfftw3.so was absent.

Tag bumped v1 -> v2 here, in build_builder_image.sh and in the workflow's
run-time assert, in one commit, as this image's contract requires. v2 is
built and published. Rehearsed in the image before pinning it: configure,
build and 151 tests now run.

dtourolle c5a8502bbb ci(tests): publish what the job was told to pull, and pin it
Traceability Validation / Check requirement traces (pull_request) Successful in 40s
Details
Unit tests / Build and run the GPU-free suite (pull_request) Failing after 36s
Details 
DP-007's row says the builder image is "pinned by tag in the Gitea
container registry". The tag was pinned; the image was never pushed.
Every run since the workflow landed died at
"Error response from daemon: manifest unknown" before a single step ran,
so the tier this workflow exists to execute has still never executed.

sae-builder-cpu:v1 is now in the registry, built from ff3b8eb by
scripts/ci/build_builder_image.sh and reporting SAE_BUILDER_VERSION=v1,
which is what the job's own assert-the-image step demands. The
v1-ff3b8eb audit tag went with it.

Behind that, the same absence one layer down: no replay-fixtures package
existed either, so "Verify the fixtures actually arrived" would have
failed next. tests/fixtures/dumps is now published at version ff3b8eb.

Which makes the `latest` here worth removing rather than keeping. Two
reasons, either sufficient. It is the same argument DP-007 already
makes about the image tag -- a dump is an input to the tests, so a
re-upload under a moving `latest` retroactively changes what an earlier
green build proved. And `latest` was the only thing in this job that
wanted a credential: package downloads are anonymous while the repo is
public, and only resolving `latest` needs a token for the list endpoint.
No GITEA_TOKEN secret is configured on this repo, so that step could
never have resolved `latest` even once the image existed. Pinning
deletes the dependency instead of documenting it.

The failure message below it said the step "needs GITEA_TOKEN to resolve
'latest'"; it now says to check the pinned version still exists, which
is the thing that can actually go wrong -- pull_artifacts.sh warns and
continues on a missing version rather than failing, which is why that
verify step is there at all.

dtourolle fb4e4d4abc ci(traceability): the job container is where act_runner looks for node 
The traceability job has been failing since it was written, and never on
anything it checks. It declared no `container:`, so it ran in the
runner's default image, which has no node; act_runner executes JS
actions with the node it finds inside the job container, and both
actions/checkout and upload-artifact are JS. The job died at
"Cannot find: node in PATH" before the repository was checked out, and
every later step then failed on an empty working tree -- the summary
step's "head: cannot open 'docs/traceability.md'" is that, not a missing
report.

node:20-bookworm, and the choice is not arbitrary: node is the part with
no workaround, while Debian 12 already carries python3.11 (tomllib, so
the stdlib-only extractor reads traceability.toml) and git (for the
pull_request diff step). Nothing in it names this repo, so the file
stays copyable into the other two components unedited, which its header
claims and this commit keeps true.

The kpnpp-builder and jellytau-builder images bake node in for exactly
this reason, and Dockerfile.builder-cpu says so in a comment. That
knowledge just had not reached the one job with no image of its own.

Second failure behind the first: the jray-project submodule was pinned
by SSH URL. The runner has no key, so `submodules: recursive` could not
have fetched the extractor even with node present. https, like the KPN
submodule beside it.

Gate and static check both pass locally on this tree -- 42/72 traced,
73.7% in CI scope, 0 orphans, 0 bare-cosine violations -- so what CI
reports next is a fact about CI, not about the tree.

dtourolle ff3b8ebf1d Merge feature/opencv5: correct scene-boundary detector F1 numbers
Traceability Validation / Check requirement traces (push) Failing after 9s
Details
Unit tests / Build and run the GPU-free suite (push) Failing after 2s
Details 
Fold in the documentation accuracy fix: the boundary-detection F1 numbers now
reflect the measured values at the shipped ±20s tolerance (44.1% leave-one-out /
29.8% grayscale / 72.9% train-all), replacing the stale pre-retrain '~34%'
figure, and the evolution figure is split so the ±2s development curve is not
mistaken for the shipped result.

dtourolle 13437e0d8b docs: correct scene-boundary detector F1 numbers to measured values 
The boundary-detection paragraph understated the detector. Replace the stale
"~34% F1 vs ~27%" (a pre-C++-retrain figure with no backing artifact) with the
measured numbers at the shipped ±20s tolerance:
  - leave-one-out macro boundary F1 = 44.1% (honest generalisation)
  - grayscale baseline               = 29.8%
  - train-all (shipped model)        = 72.9% (per-film 51-86%)
computed from experiments/results/scene_boundary/xgb_report.json and per-film
leave-one-out runs of train_xgb_cpp.py. Also correct the false claim that the
low-contrast grades "cannot generalise held out" — Scarface held out scores 32%,
Café Society 51%, both above grayscale (0% and 31%).

Split the evolution figure into two panels so the strict-±2s feature-development
curve is no longer mistaken for the shipped result: left = feature progress at
±2s, right = shipped detector at the ±20s tolerance the pipeline uses.

Details 
The opencv5 rework of the detect/track/match/scene pipeline. Headline result:
flood-fill actor presence on a learned XGBoost scene-boundary detector lifts
per-second Amazon X-Ray presence F1 from 62.6% (track-extent) to 74.9% under
leave-one-out across the nine-film benchmark, improving every film and fixing
the low-contrast grades (Scarface, Downton) that naive flood-fill broke.

dtourolle b26c66dcce scripts: figure generators + frame-regen script for the opencv5 report 
make_figures.py gains the DE-landscape, calibration, and per-film leave-one-out
holdout figures used by the experiment log. regen_frame_examples.sh replays all
nine films with the shipped learned-boundary flood config and draws GT-aware
TP/FP/FN frames, so every annotated image in the docs is reproducible.

dtourolle 7556c836da docs: opencv5 experiment log + rewritten Home 
Add model-bakeoff.md for the opencv5 build: the ten-knob DE tuning and where
each shipped config default comes from, the replay architecture, and the
flood-fill-on-learned-boundaries step change (62.6% -> 74.9% presence F1, LOO).
Rewrite index.md to lead with the learned scene-boundary result and point at
the current pages, with the July four-model bake-off moved to an Archive
section. Both pages build with no broken links.

dtourolle ef99951360 docs: remake all named TP/FP/FN frames against the opencv5 pipeline 
Auto-match each named July frame by film+actor+class and re-extract it from
the current learned-boundary flood replay, drawing GT-aware boxes: green TP,
red FP, orange unknown, plus the blue off-screen/missed (X-Ray cast, no face)
FN panel. Adds rematch_frames.py, the tool that does the matching.

Zooey Deschanel is dropped: the current pipeline no longer makes that
false identification, so the frame is removed and the July deep-dive notes
the fix rather than showing a stale error.
 2026-08-10 08:32:30 +02:00
dtourolle 0feafec7c9 feat(review): GT-aware TP/FP/FN frame annotation + scene-detector examples 
dump_error_frames.py drew every identified box green, so a false positive looked
like a true positive and a missed cast member was invisible. Make the annotation
ground-truth aware, matching what the per-second scorer classifies:
  - GREEN  true positive  — a name X-Ray also credits to this scene
  - RED    false positive — a name X-Ray does NOT credit here (the real error)
  - ORANGE unknown detection
  - BLUE   a text panel listing X-Ray cast present with no detected face (the
           structural false-negatives — no box exists to draw)

Add two representative annotated frames to the scene-detector page: a clean
green-TP second, and the face-vs-scene-cast case (a red FP lead + six off-camera
cast in blue) that makes the recall ceiling visual. Frames are generated by the
script from replay.py --raw-out output; the two committed examples are hand-picked
doc assets (bulk experiments/dump_review is regenerable and gitignored).

dtourolle edf19ab798 docs(scene-detector): document the learned scene-boundary detector 
New docs/scene-boundary-detector.md: why the grayscale cut detector wasn't
enough (Scarface: 1 cut in 10k frames → flood-fill P=26%), what X-Ray boundaries
are and why they're hard, the feature/model design (delta histograms, multi-scale
ramp bank, scene-length debounce, soft-target XGBoost regressor, per-film knee),
and the measured dead ends (audio-only, raw features, LSTM, TransNetV2).

Headline result, honest leave-one-out (each film scored by a detector trained on
the other eight): flood + learned detector = 74.9% macro presence F1, vs 64.0%
for grayscale-cut flood and 62.6% for track-extent — +12.3pp, improving all nine
films. Fixes the Scarface flood collapse (grayscale 40.9 → learned 74.9, on a
film the detector never trained on) and swings Downton +37pp.

Figures are generated by scripts/scene_detector/make_figures.py from the saved
results (experiments/results/scene_boundary/downstream_loo.json); the PNGs
themselves follow the repo convention of not committing regenerable chart assets.
Added to the mkdocs nav.

dtourolle e5204a831a feat(scene-detector): run the learned boundary detector live in the C++ pipeline 
Wire the XGBoost scene-boundary detector into scene_analyze as a post-EOF step in
the result sink (like flood-fill itself — the per-film knee threshold needs the
whole film, so it cannot stream). With --scene-xgb-model set, the camera-position
node stamps a per-frame RGB histogram onto the Frame, it rides through to the
sink, and at EOF the sink runs XGBSceneBoundary over the collected histograms +
the movie's per-second audio log-PSD to produce the flood-fill boundaries. Falls
back to is_scene_boundary / is_cut when no model is configured or inference fails.

Inference is real XGBoost via CMake FetchContent (v2.1.1, static), C API in
src/inference/xgb_scene_boundary.hpp; audio log-PSD in src/inference/
audio_logpsd.hpp (FFTW + ffmpeg full-file 16kHz decode). Feature extraction
matches training exactly — video features verified row-identical to numpy, and to
avoid chasing numpy's every rounding the shipped model is TRAINED on the
C++-extracted features (scene_features_dump exe → train_xgb_cpp.py). The
C++/Python peak-finders differ slightly so boundary counts differ, but what
matters is downstream: flood + C++ detector = 75.8% macro presence F1 vs 64.0%
for the histogram-cut flood and 62.5% for track_extent, and it fixes the Scarface
flood collapse (41 -> 70). All nine films improve.

Guarded by the SAE_SCENE_XGB CMake option (on by default; heavy first build).
xgb_boundary_parity is a diff harness; scene_features_dump writes the C++ feature
matrix so training and inference share one feature implementation.

Verified end to end: scene_analyze --scene-xgb-model on a real movie stamps the
histogram, runs the detector at EOF ("XGBoost scene detector: N boundaries"), and
flood-snaps presence to the learned boundaries.
 2026-08-09 21:21:29 +02:00
dtourolle 0e35dac951 feat(scene-detector): learned scene-boundary detector for flood-fill presence 
A boosted-tree scene-boundary detector that replaces the grayscale
histogram-correlation cut detector as the flood-fill boundary source, and
substantially improves actor-presence accuracy.

Downstream result (per-second X-Ray presence F1, macro over 9 films):
  track_extent 62.3%  |  flood + histogram cuts 64.0%  |  flood + this 76.9%
+12.9pp, and it wins on every film — notably fixing the histogram flood's
Scarface collapse (61 -> 41 -> 71) and lifting Downton 41 -> 84.

Design (each choice measured — see the memory / report):
- XGBoost REGRESSOR on a ±3s window of DELTA features (symmetric RGB-hist
  and audio-PSD deltas at k=1,2,4,8s + ramp bank + time-since-last-peak
  debounce). Raw histograms dilute; deltas separate boundaries ~4-5x.
- SOFT Gaussian proximity target (sigma=10s) so near-misses train as
  near-correct, not hard negatives; regression -> smooth score -> NMS peaks.
- KNEE per-film threshold: self-calibrates the boundary count to ~the true
  scene count, no global rate. Evaluated at ±20s (X-Ray scenes ~170s).
- Trained on all 9 films (Cafe/Scarface low-contrast grades must be seen).
  Honest held-out ~41% boundary-F1 @±20s vs ~27% grayscale.

Scripts: train_xgb_boundary.py (shipped detector), extract_audio_features.py
(per-second log-PSD), downstream_presence.py (the A/B above), density_floor.py
(fallback for detection-starved films), plus the LSTM/DE explorations kept
for provenance. Model: models/scene_boundary_xgb.json.

Not yet wired into the live C++ pipeline — boundaries are a post-EOF step in
the sink (like flood-fill itself); libxgboost C++ integration is the next step.
 2026-08-09 19:21:04 +02:00
dtourolle 8dd2255125 feat(dump): record a per-frame RGB histogram for scene-boundary training 
Add frames/rgb_hist to the embedding dump: a normalised 32-bin-per-channel
RGB histogram (96 floats/frame), computed from the already-decoded frame so
it is nearly free and ~40 KB per film. This is the training signal for the
learned scene-boundary detector — the grayscale-correlation cut detector is
blind on low-contrast grades (Scarface: 1 cut in 10k frames), and the
symmetric RGB-histogram delta separates X-Ray scene boundaries far better.
The dump stays gallery-independent; downstream replay/training consume the
histogram offline.

dtourolle 0e97e532a8 feat(config): ship the 10-knob DE optimum (flood-fill default) 
Update the tuned presence defaults to the 10-parameter DE optimum over all
9 X-Ray films (opencv5 build, LVFace-B): prob_threshold 0.485,
ownership_logodds 1.72, track_extinction_sec 31, track_alpha 0.435,
evidence_rho_max 0.204, evidence_admit_below 0.784, match_prior 0.433,
expand_band 0.804/0.952, and PresenceMode::flood as the default. Replaces
the earlier 0.754 (a 4-film subset optimum under the withdrawn
anneal/extinction windows, never re-derived). The provenance comment is
rewritten to record the sweep, the permissive-threshold rationale, and the
uneven-generalization caveat (strong on 7 of 9 films; Many Saints /
Scarface remain hard).

Note on flood: presence F1 is 64% with the always-on histogram cut as the
flood boundary source, but 77% once a proper learned scene detector
supplies the boundaries (see the scene-detector work). Flood is the right
default; the boundary source is what unlocks it.
 2026-08-09 19:20:21 +02:00
dtourolle 1477c53885 refactor(registry): only keep identified tracks associable while dormant 
candidates() now excludes dormant (off-screen) tracks that were never
identified: an unowned dormant track has no actor to re-attach to, so
keeping it in the association pool only enlarges the matcher's per-frame
comparison set and invites a new face re-associating onto an anonymous
stub. On-screen tracks are always candidates; a dormant track must have
crossed ownership (t.actor set) to stay associable within
track_extinction_sec.

Measured trade: a small recall cost (~1-3pp on some films, e.g. Lord of
War -2.5) for a cleaner, bounded pool. Kept deliberately. Note it does NOT
fix the ROCm GEMM wedge (that is an intermittent driver flake, not a
pool-size problem) — this is a correctness/cleanliness change, not a
performance one.
 2026-08-09 19:20:06 +02:00
dtourolle add7e22053 fix(optimizer): discard replay stderr and make the timeout a wedge-backstop 
Two failures surfaced scaling the DE sweep up. The replay sink prints a
per-second progress line with an explicit flush; under
subprocess.run(capture_output=True) those thousands of writes fill a fixed
OS pipe buffer that nothing drains until exit, so the long films blocked on
write to stderr and looked like hangs. Discard the child's stdout/stderr
(DEVNULL) — it was captured and thrown away anyway; the long films then
finish in seconds.

Separately, the per-film timeout is only a backstop for the rare,
intermittent ROCm GEMM wedge (a wedged replay hangs forever and must be
killed so the sweep continues), not a performance bound. It had been set
huge, which let a single flake stall the whole sweep; set it to a sane 180s
(overridable via REPLAY_TIMEOUT) — well above a healthy replay, short
enough to reap a wedge quickly.

dtourolle ea922356f1 docs: archive the July 2026 report; new methodology for the opencv5 run 
The July report (4-model ArcFace/LVFace bake-off, pre-opencv5 framework,
3-film training + held-out validation) is superseded by the opencv5 build:
single-model LVFace-B, a 6-knob DE sweep over all 9 films, flood-fill
presence, and the registry/decode fixes. Rather than overwrite it, archive
it date-suffixed and start the current report fresh.

- Rename the six July result pages to *-2026-07.md, rewrite their
  intra-archive cross-links, and add an "Archived (July 2026)" banner to each.
- mkdocs nav: current report at top, the July set under an Archive section.
- New docs/methodology.md for the opencv5 run: corrects the withdrawn
  anneal_sec/extinction_sec presence bridging (windows are now
  [first_seen, last_seen], AR-012/013), documents the two presence modes
  (track_extent / flood), and records that every eval scores all 9 films.

The current experiment log (model-bakeoff.md) and Home rewrite land once
the DE sweep converges and the final optimum is known.

- dump_lvface_opencv5.sh: fresh LVFace-B embedding dumps (plain front-half,
  histogram cuts baked in) for the optimizer replay corpus. No decode-fps
  cap — that only mattered under parallel dumping; serial it just halved
  throughput.

dtourolle 84513d3fa7 fix(eval): read schema-v2 scene windows 
The output schema moved to version 2, where each actor's "scenes" is a
list of {start, end, belief, route} objects rather than [t0, t1] pairs.
Both scorers still unpacked pairs and raised "too many values to unpack
(expected 2, got 4)" on current output. Read either form: an object's
start/end, or a two-element list. Fixes second_score.py (the optimizer's
per-second scorer) and sample_eval.py (the X-Ray/MovieNet presence eval).

dtourolle d113c83189 feat(optimizer): sweep expansion bands + presence mode; tolerate scattered dropped votes 
Make the flood-fill and expansion knobs reachable from the DE sweep:

- kpn_bindings: read expand_band_lo/hi and presence_mode from the replay
  cfg dict (presence_mode accepts "flood"/"track_extent" or a numeric
  >=0.5 toggle), and carry is_scene_boundary onto the replayed frame.
- replay.py: add expand_band_lo/hi to CFG_KEYS and a --presence-mode flag,
  and read is_scene_boundary from the dump (absent in pre-scene dumps).
- optimize.py: map the continuous presence_flood knob (0..1, >=0.5 → flood)
  to presence_mode, and order expand_band_lo/hi so an inverted band can't
  waste evaluations.

Also relax replay's dropped-vote guard from an all-or-nothing abort to a
2% ratio. The registry one-clock fix removed the systematic drops; a
sub-percent residual remains on some films from EOF-flush / same-tick
ordering, which does not move the per-second F1 or the sweep rankings. The
catastrophic capacity bug the guard was built for dropped thousands and
emptied the output, so a ratio threshold still catches it while letting a
scattered fraction of a percent through (logged, not fatal).

dtourolle 584f23546a feat(presence): flood-fill presence mode 
Add PresenceMode::flood alongside the default track_extent. In flood mode
the result sink snaps each presence claim to the shot it sits in, so an
actor seen once anywhere in a shot is reported for the whole shot
[prev_boundary, next_boundary]. This trades precision for recall against
X-Ray's per-scene cast granularity and is a toggleable knob for the
optimizer to weigh rather than a default.

Boundaries come from the frame stream, now carried through SceneAnnotation
(is_cut and is_scene_boundary). Flood prefers TransNetV2 shot boundaries
when a scene detector populated them, otherwise falls back to the
always-on histogram cuts (camera_position_change_detector); with no
boundaries it degrades to track_extent per claim. The is_scene_boundary
path stays dormant so an out-of-process scene detector can be revived
later without re-wiring.

Selected with --presence-mode flood|track_extent (default track_extent),
so existing output is byte-for-byte unchanged. The dump_embeddings header
note records why TransNetV2 scene detection is not run in that process.

dtourolle de02e25e6a fix(registry): one clock for association and reaping 
FrameScope::candidates() filtered associable tracks on the tracker clock
(now_) while reap_locked() retired them on the matcher's evidence
watermark (evidence_through_). Because the tracker runs ahead of the
matcher (backpressure turns channel depth into lag, AR-004), a track the
registry had already reaped on the watermark could still be offered for
association on the tracker clock; the matcher's later vote then landed on
an erased id and was counted as a dropped vote, silently under-reporting
presence. Rare live (small lag), routine in replay where the Python
source drives the tracker far ahead of the matcher.

candidates() now filters on the same clock reaping uses
(awaits_evidence_ ? evidence_through_ : now_) with the same
track_extinction_sec horizon, so the offered pool and the live pool are
identical: nothing is offered past its reap horizon, nothing is reaped
while still offerable. This also cannot reintroduce the older zombie-merge
bug (offering on a looser horizon than the reap), because the horizon is
now identical rather than looser.

track_extinction_sec is the tracker's association window, so it must be
evaluated on the horizon the registry retires tracks on.

dtourolle 7b73bf923a fix(AR-025): only evidence spends the evidence budget 
The correlation discount is an effective-sample correction: with observations
correlated at rho, the n-th is worth n_eff(n+1) - n_eff(n) = 2/((n+1)(n+2))
at rho=0.5, so it decays quadratically and the total converges to 1/rho = 2.
That saturation is deliberate and stays — a long static shot must not
out-argue varied evidence purely by lasting longer.

What was not deliberate is that every scored face spent it. An observation at
p=0.02 contributes log(0.98) = -0.02 of belief, which is nothing, while
consuming the same increment as one at p=0.95. On SuperHero-2, track 3 carried
103 observations for an effective weight of 2.026 and a belief of 0.455
against a 0.881 threshold — with the 51 frames that *did* identify the actor
arriving when each was worth 0.0002. The budget had been spent by the frames
that recognised nobody.

It also made the answer depend on frame rate: deliver more frames, dilute the
budget with more non-matches, and a track that was owned stops being owned.
That is the defect AR-013 already had to fix once for reaping, still present
in accumulation. It is how this was found — SuperHero-2 identified Jeremy
before a KPN throughput fix and not after, from identical input, and bisect
put the change at the KPN bump in d98dc28 rather than anywhere in this repo.

The floor is 0.5, which is where the posterior stops favouring the hypothesis,
not a tuned threshold. Near-misses still count: the identity matcher
deliberately feeds every scored face rather than only accepted ones, and an
observation at 0.7 — under the matcher's 0.754 acceptance — still accumulates,
which the second test pins. Below 0.5 the observation argues *against*, which
noisy-OR cannot represent, so declining to spend a budget on it loses nothing.

Scored against the DVU knowledge-graph ground truth, all ten SuperHero scenes:

                 TP   FP   FN   precision   recall     F1
  before          9    0   15       1.000    0.375   0.545
  after          13    0   14       1.000    0.481   0.650

Four more true positives and no false positives — the recall gain is not
bought with precision. Scene 7's Isabelle and scene 10's Isabelle and Jeremy
are all in the ground truth. Apples-to-apples over scenes 1-9 (scene 10's
before-run timed out): TP 9 to 11, FN 15 to 13, FP 0 either way.

An earlier attempt at this gave each actor its own budget. It was a no-op:
measured on the same track, n_obs_for[best] equalled n_obs at 103, because
every observation votes for the best-matching actor. Reverted rather than
kept.

dtourolle 24d35cbde3 fix(AR-013): reap tracks on the evidence watermark, not the tracker's clock 
The registry closed a track when the *tracker's* timestamp passed
`track_extinction_sec`. But votes arrive from the matcher, which is a separate
KPN node behind a channel, and much the slower of the pair. Backpressure —
working exactly as AR-004 intends — turns that channel's depth into lag, so
the tracker's clock can be far ahead of the last frame anybody has voted on.
Tracks were therefore closed before their evidence arrived: the votes landed
on ids that no longer existed, were counted as dropped, and the track was
emitted unowned or not at all.

The symptom is the part worth remembering: **a deeper channel produced fewer
identifications, from identical input.** On the SuperHero fixture, 5 actors /
16 windows at depth 32 against 3 actors / 5 windows at depth 10322; through
the replay harness, capacity 32 gave 5 actors and 10322 gave 0. A throughput
knob was silently changing the answer, which makes every sweep tuned against
it suspect.

The fix is not to bound the channel against `track_extinction_sec` — that
makes an algorithm constant police a throughput knob and leaves the result a
function of scheduling. It is to reap on an evidence watermark: the matcher
advances it as it folds each frame in, and a track is only finished once
everything up to its extinction point has actually been voted on. Same device
`SceneBoundaries::scored_through()` uses for the AR-010 join — a consumer past
that point is asking about frames nobody has looked at yet, and the honest
answer is to wait rather than guess.

Association keeps the tracker's clock, and separating the two is the other
half. They answer different questions: "may this detection link to that
track?" is asked now, about a box seen `track_extinction_sec` ago; "is that
track finished?" cannot be answered until every vote is in. Deferring
association to the evidence clock — which deferring the erase alone did — left
retired tracks associable for as long as the matcher lagged, so a new face
re-associated onto a long-dead track and two people merged into one window.

The watermark is monotonic and only ever *delays* a reap, so no window is
extended by it: AR-013's "a window ends at the last sighting, never after" is
a property of `emit_locked`, which takes `last_seen` and never `now`.

`dropped_votes` is exposed and reported — by main at shutdown and through the
replay bindings — because this failed silently for as long as it did precisely
because nothing counted it. It warns rather than aborts: a dropped frame means
the output describes footage nobody analysed and is always wrong, while a
dropped vote degrades a claim without falsifying it, and there is no
measurement yet of how often it happens on real content.

replay.py's channel capacity stops being the whole film. It was sized that way
to dodge a PyNode overflow drop that AR-004 has since replaced with parking,
and removing backpressure that way is what made the defect above so extreme.

Tag separators in kpn_bindings.cpp corrected to pipes between requirement
types, which the traceability gate was reporting as diagnostics; the matrix is
regenerated and reports 0 orphan tags.

dtourolle 0e27339ab6 chore: update KPN — unconditional push wake, and the start() lock it exposed 
Two commits on top of c9aa246.

6802328 fixes a lost wake in the channel itself: push fired push_callback_
only on the empty->non-empty edge, computed from a head_ sampled before the
item was published, so a pop landing in that window left the item in the ring
with the consumer idle and no wake outstanding. Absorbing, because every later
push then sees a non-empty ring and the edge never fires again. Firing
unconditionally is correct by construction — the callback runs after the
publishing store — and the redundant wakes are cheap, since on_input_ready
re-checks the level and the submit gate collapses a wake arriving mid-firing.

771b9f8 is the gap that change exposed. abbb2d4 guarded ThreadPool::submit
against stop(), which clears queues_, but missed that start() rebuilds the
same vector under no lock. A submission genuinely lands there — a network
starts nodes one at a time, and an already-started node fires into the next
one's channel, whose callback submits — and push_back can reallocate under a
reader that has already indexed it. Unobserved before; 4 races in one run
after callbacks became frequent enough during startup.

Verified: KPN 148/148, this repo 149/149, ThreadSanitizer clean across five
unit runs and two stress runs.

Not re-measured on a clip. The GPU has a driver/library version mismatch
(kernel module 610.43.03 against NVML 610.57 — an update without a reboot),
so scene_analyze aborts in cuInit before it decodes anything. The SuperHero-1
measurement recorded in c599e07 — exit 0, outran() 0, scenes.json and presence
byte-identical — stands against c9aa246; both commits added since are
concurrency fixes with no effect on pipeline semantics, but a re-run is worth
doing once the driver is sorted.

dtourolle c599e07d4b chore: update KPN — a re-offered sentinel is not data loss 
Picks up c9aa246, which the SuperHero run turned up. 139bfbb made the channel
refuse a sentinel offered while one was still pending — right, and it fixes a
real use-after-free — but it recorded the refusal as a drop and reported it as
an overflow.

frame_source emits EOF once and then returns it forever
(frame_source_node.hpp:76), so the token is re-offered on every firing. This
pipeline's own loss detector therefore fired on a clean run:

    [main] ERROR: frames were dropped (channel overflow):
      frame_source: 2
      scene_annotate: 1
    [main] The output would describe footage that was never analysed.
           Refusing to report success.

exit 2, with nothing dropped and every frame analysed. A loss detector that
cries loss on a clean run is worse than none, because the next real one gets
ignored.

Measured on SuperHero-1 at --fps 5 --scene-detect after the fix: exit 0, no
drops, and outran() 0 — the AR-004 join-depth derivation (59a2927) holds at 95
slots where it was pinned at 256.

dtourolle 4dcef8d6c5 fix(AR-004): the TransNetV2 window stores the model's input, not the frame 
The rolling window held frames as decoded — `images_.push_back(f.image)` — and
left the downscale to the backend. TransNetV2's input is 48x27, so the buffer
held roughly 590 MB at 1080p to feed a model that needs about 380 KB. The
config note for `dense_scale` says as much outright: "TransNetV2 downsamples to
48x27 regardless".

This is not a channel capacity, so no amount of tuning channel depths would
ever have found it. It is a `std::deque<cv::Mat>` member, and it is the single
largest allocation in the scene branch.

It is also redundant work. Windows overlap by `kWindow - stride`, so a frame
appears in several of them and was re-downscaled once per window it appeared
in; now it is downscaled once, on arrival.

**The risk here is the invariant, not the memory.** Every model gets the input
it was trained for — a model run off-distribution returns confident, plausible,
wrong output, and for a boundary detector that means fabricated cuts, which are
indistinguishable from real ones in the output. So this reproduces the
backends' preprocessing exactly rather than doing its own: both
ort_backend.cpp and trt_backend.cpp guard mis-sized input with
`convertTo(CV_8UC3)` and then
`cv::resize(..., {kFrameW, kFrameH}, 0, 0, cv::INTER_AREA)`, in that order, and
`to_model_input` performs the same two operations. The backend guard then sees
a correctly-sized frame and does nothing, so the tensor the model receives is
unchanged. The interface has always specified this as the caller's job — "Each
frame must already be kFrameW x kFrameH, BGR, CV_8UC3" — so the node now meets
a contract it was already given.

The tests assert equivalence, not size. They perform the backend's own two
operations independently and compare byte for byte, on a gradient rather than a
flat fill, since INTER_AREA averages and a constant image would compare equal
under almost any resize. Order is pinned too: converting a 4-channel frame
after downscaling averages alpha into the colour channels and gives different
pixels.

Verified in both directions. With INTER_LINEAR substituted for INTER_AREA —
the most plausible way to get this subtly wrong — three assertions fail. With
the backend's own operations, byte-identical at 1920x1080, 640x360 and 720x480.
149/149.

Still unmeasured on real content, as with the previous commit: the equivalence
argument says the model sees the same tensor, but a run comparing scenes.json
before and after on a real clip is what would settle it, and I could not launch
one here.

dtourolle 59a2927a15 fix(AR-004): derive the scene join depth instead of pinning it at 256 
`kSceneJoinDepth` was a constant 256, used for two different channels. Both
uses were wrong, in different ways.

**It is a span of film, not a count of slots.** The join needs the sampled
branch to trail the dense one by however long TransNetV2 takes to be able to
answer: its input queue (128) plus the window it must fill (100), over native
frame rate — about 9.5 s at 24 fps, which is the conservative floor since a
slower source makes the same frame count span more film. The slots needed to
hold that depend on `sample_fps`, so the constant meant ~256 s of lag at 1 fps
— 27x what the join needs — and nothing recomputed it when `sample_fps`
changed. The one number AR-010's correctness rests on drifted with an
unrelated knob. It is now derived, giving a constant 19 s of lag at any sample
rate: 19 slots at 1 fps, 95 at 5.

**The decimator's buffer was on the wrong side of the decimator.** Its *input*
carries the full-rate stream, so 256 slots held ~256 full decoded frames of
which, at 1 fps against 24 fps native, 23 in every 24 existed only to be
discarded by the predicate a moment later. Holding ~1.5 GB of images for
frames the very next node throws away is the worst available use of the
budget. A filter is a pass-through, not a reservoir: the lag belongs after
decimation, where a slot buys 1/sample_fps seconds instead of 1/native_fps.
Its input is now sized only to keep it fed.

Together, at 1080p and 1 fps, those two channels go from ~3.0 GB to ~206 MB
while the join keeps 2x margin over its requirement. Every message embeds
`Frame source`, so a slot on either branch holds a full decoded image — which
is visible now that the byte counter is honest (5e46f52), and was not before.

**Not verified against a running pipeline.** The check that matters is
`SceneBoundaries::outran()` — sampled frames that arrived before the detector
had scored them, which must stay 0 — and that needs a real clip through
`--scene-detect`. I could not launch it here. The arithmetic is stated above
so it can be checked by inspection, and the margin is deliberately 2x rather
than tight, but a run should confirm outran() is still 0 before this is
trusted on real content.

dtourolle 5e46f52ad2 fix(AR-004): make the channel byte counter measure the payload 
`kpn::ChannelDataSize<T>` is what a channel reports as bytes pushed, and its
primary template returns `sizeof(T)`. It was never specialised in this repo —
only in a KPN example — so every message type reported its header size. Each
of them is a few vectors and a `cv::Mat` header owning megabytes on the heap,
so a message carrying a full decoded frame was reported at roughly 200 bytes
against 5.9 MB at 1080p. Four orders of magnitude.

That is not a cosmetic stat. It is the one instrument for choosing channel
capacities against a memory ceiling — the open half of AR-004 — and anyone
who read the MB/s column to size a channel was reading fiction. The gap could
not be measured with the tool that exists to measure it.

Every message embeds `Frame source`, so this is not confined to the
crop-carrying channels: the full decoded image rides the whole chain, and the
byte figure now says so.

Two things worth stating about what the number means. `cv::Mat` is
reference-counted, so one frame referenced from several messages is counted
once per reference — an upper bound on distinct bytes, and the right bound for
"what would this channel keep alive if nothing else held it", which is the
question a capacity answers. And an eof sentinel carries no image, so it costs
only its header and is not charged for one.

Declared against a forward declaration of the primary template rather than by
including <kpn/channel.hpp>, so the message definitions keep no dependency on
the framework carrying them, and any translation unit that can see these types
also sees their sizes — which is what stops one channel being instantiated
with the default while another gets the specialisation.

Verified in both directions: with the specialisations removed, three of the
five cases fail, `SceneAnnotation` reporting 40 bytes against the 37,632 its
single 112x112 crop occupies. 145/145 with them.

No behaviour change — this only corrects what is reported. Choosing capacities
against the corrected numbers is the next commit.

dtourolle bb7a9ed718 docs(AR-004): record the three holes the wedging audit closed 
The register said "two remaining holes now closed" and the SPEC's Current:
still described `push_blocking`, which parking replaced. Both now match the
code.

Three additions, in the order they surfaced:

  (c) FilterNode and RouterNode were the last data paths still using the
      throwing push() with the exception swallowed, so a full output discarded
      the value — including the EOF sentinel. The decimator passes EOF by
      predicate but its output is reliably full, the embedder being the slowest
      node, so the token went nowhere and nothing downstream shut down. That is
      the wedge the runs were being killed for, and it is worth the register
      saying so plainly.
  (d) The sentinel could be delivered ahead of a value still queued behind it,
      losing the tail to any consumer treating EOF as a hard stop.
  (e) Two firings of one node could overlap, which breaks the one-slot park
      itself: a parked value can be overwritten with no drop recorded.

(e) also corrects (b). The startup lost wake was recorded as a missed
empty->non-empty edge closed by a level-triggered re-check; the actual cause
was the callbacks being written while a running neighbour read them — ten
ThreadSanitizer races — and they are now installed in a prepare() pass before
any node starts. The re-check stays and is still needed, but for a benign
ordering rather than as cover for a race.

Two things the requirement now carries that it did not before. A channel holds
at most one undelivered sentinel: a second is refused and reported rather than
silently overwriting the first, which matters the moment a pipeline is reused
for a second input. And a lossless decimator is a backpressure point rather
than a relief valve, so the source throttles to the face branch instead of
quietly thinning it — what the requirement asks for, but it changes the shape
of a loaded run and is not yet benchmarked.

The Gap is unchanged and still open: capacity is counted in items, not bytes,
so a crowd frame carrying 60 crops occupies one slot exactly as an empty one
does. AR-004 stays **Mostly** for that reason.

Verification plan updated with the cases the KPN suite now pins.

dtourolle 48332d2041 feat(replay): the whole replay chain is C++, including the sink 
The sae_kpn module has not compiled since the AR-007/AR-008 tracker redesign,
and was switched off at the build rather than patched because the fix is a
restructuring. Two failures, one cause.

It did not compile: `add_face_tracker` built FaceTrackerFunc from a Config
alone, and the tracker has required a TrackRegistry and a calibration since
association moved into probability space.

And presence was rebuilt in Python. `replay.py::build_minimal` merged
per-frame detections into windows by annealing gaps, which is what the
pipeline did before AR-012. The sink builds a window from a TrackRegistry
claim instead — the extent of a track an actor owned, starting when they
appeared rather than when recognition first succeeded. Those answer different
questions, so every sweep was tuning against a contract the shipped code had
stopped honouring.

Both follow from the seam being a factory per node. The chain has a
construction order — the matcher fits the calibration, the registry needs a
discounter built from it, the tracker needs both, and the sink needs the
registry's claims — and independent factories cannot express it, so the
tracker kept being built against a signature that no longer existed. One
`add_pipeline` mirrors main.cpp exactly and is now the only way to build the
chain, so the ordering cannot be got wrong again from Python. DP-001 is the
requirement behind it: a replay harness is a front-end, and its job is to
supply frames and read the result, not to re-derive presence.

Lifetimes needed a home. ResultSinkFunc holds `const Config&` and
`std::atomic<bool>&`, which under main() are locals in a frame outliving the
pipeline; there is no such frame when the network is built and torn down from
Python. ReplaySession owns both for the network's lifetime, keyed by network
and released explicitly — a sweep builds one network per replay and the sink
retains every annotation, so holding them forever would grow with films x
configs. Getting this wrong presented as an empty output_path: the sink
announced `[result_sink] writing ` and wrote nothing.

test_sae_kpn.py is ported rather than left behind. It called all three removed
factories and asserted on SceneAnnotations read back per frame; neither half
survives, so it now waits on pipeline_done and asserts on the file the sink
writes. Verified against gallery_lvface.h5: three frames through the real
chain, timestamps 0/1/2, truth file written. EOF is a control token the sink
flushes on and does not record, so three inputs give three frames, never four.

SAE_BUILD_KPN_BINDINGS goes back to ON.

dtourolle 1141172b04 chore: update KPN to the wedging-audit fixes 
Twenty commits, of which the one that matters for this repo is the filter
and router losslessness. FilterNode and RouterNode were the last nodes on a
data path still using the throwing push() and swallowing the exception, so
`decimate` — which passes EOF by predicate — discarded that token whenever
its output was full. Which it reliably is: the embedder is the slowest node
in the chain. Nothing downstream ever received EOF, `done` was never set,
and the run had to be killed. That is the wedge.

The rest, in rough order of how much they affect a run here:

- A sentinel could be delivered ahead of a value still queued behind it,
  losing that value to any consumer treating EOF as a hard stop.
- Two fire_once invocations for one node could overlap, which breaks the
  one-slot park: a parked value can be overwritten with no drop recorded.
- A node's push/space callbacks were written while a running neighbour read
  them — ten ThreadSanitizer races, and the root cause of the startup lost
  wake that AR-004 records as closed by a level-triggered re-check.
- shutdown() polled every channel in the graph with no deadline, and could
  fail to terminate outright on an index underflow in the fill calculation.
- Submitting to a stopped pool indexed a cleared vector: a segfault, which
  reproduced 12 runs in 20 once sources stopped before their consumers.
- stop() returned while a firing was still touching the node's members.
- Idle pool workers burned ~6.5 cores while one task ran (1991 ms of CPU
  against 0.4 ms). Latent here, since every node owns a private one-thread
  pool, but not for anything using a shared one.

Two consequences worth holding onto. `decimate` is now a backpressure point
rather than a relief valve, so the source throttles to the face branch
instead of quietly thinning it — the intended behaviour, but it changes the
shape of a loaded run and has not been benchmarked. And a channel now
carries at most one undelivered sentinel; a second is refused and reported

dtourolle 90b44e0975 docs(register): make the status column describe the code 
Eleven rows corrected, in both directions.

Overstated: AR-011 (the derived dedup window reached scenes.json only),
AR-017 (route was a literal), AR-019 (the local plurality tally was
still deciding), AR-024 (its "static check" enforcement did not exist),
DP-001 (scene_preview had forked and stopped compiling), VR-002 (the
Python replay bindings have not compiled since the tracker redesign, and
the fixtures it calls committed are gitignored registry artifacts).

Understated: VR-010 was marked Planned while five VR-010 tags sat in the
code implementing it.

Rescoped: VR-007 now names the four AR-025 constants it was already
being deferred to for, and which no sweep could reach until this pass.

The Withdrawn note gets the longest correction, because it asserted a
removal that had not happened and nothing could have caught that: the
gate reads tags, and a withdrawn requirement has no tag to be orphaned.
The general form is now written down there -- a status column is a
claim, and the only claims this project checks automatically are the
ones a test or a static check makes. Four of the rows above are the same
pattern: recorded as done, and done in one place out of two.

New: VR-016, a cadence study for cut_threshold. It is the one always-on
signal with no recorded provenance, and its input rate depends on an
unrelated flag -- with --scene-detect off, camera_pos compares frames a
full second apart at the default sample_fps, and with it on, native-rate
frames. Same constant, two meanings, and is_cut drives track_alpha to 0
and clears every expansion buffer.

Also stops check_raw_cosine.py inflating its own metric: the extractor
scans scripts/, so the tool's prose describing the exception tag was
counted as four recorded exceptions. The count now reads 1, which is the
number of real ones.

dtourolle 06373817a2 refactor(config): give the tuned constants a real provenance, and make them reachable 
Two problems, both of which made a number look more settled than it is.

The provenance was a dead link. config.hpp cited
docs/rep4-optimizer-results.md for prob_threshold, extinction_sec,
anneal_sec and the expansion default. That file was renamed to
model-bakeoff.md and then rewritten; the comments were never repointed,
so the most consequential constant in the pipeline appeared to have no
source at all.

Following it up produced something worse than a broken link.
prob_threshold=0.754 comes from the ORIGINAL rep4 document (still
readable at `git show d340da7:docs/rep4-optimizer-results.md`). The
rewrite that replaced it reports finding "a real scoring bug in
optimize.py: a candidate whose hardest film's replay timed out was
averaged over survivors instead of penalized, silently rewarding partial
coverage. Affected 3 of 16 training combos". So 0.754 was fitted under
scoring that was later found wrong, the corrected sweep converged
elsewhere, and no corrected prob_threshold is recorded anywhere. The
comment now says that, along with the surviving document's own verdict
that the optimum "generalizes unevenly -- strong on 3 of 5 held-out
films, badly broken on 2".

Four constants were unreachable. ownership_logodds lived on
TrackRegistry::Config, and max_views/admit_below/rho_max on
EvidenceDiscounter::Config, which main built with the one-argument
constructor -- so nothing short of a recompile could move any of them.
rho_max's own comment defers to "the sweep (VR-007)" for where it
belongs, and that sweep could not reach it.

They now live in Config with CLI flags and are exposed to the replay
harness. ownership_logodds is worth singling out: below it a track makes
no presence claim at all, so it decides whether an actor is reported
rather than how confidently -- arguably the most consequential constant
after prob_threshold, and until now unswept and unsettable.

No behaviour change: every default is the value that was compiled in.

dtourolle 88c42573a5 fix(pipeline): finish three changes that had only been half applied 
Each of these was recorded as done and was done in one place out of two.

AR-011 -- the TransNetV2 dedup window. The derived window
(dedup_window_sec, median observed interval halved) reached scenes.json
and nothing else. SceneBoundaries, the path that actually feeds
is_scene_boundary to the tracker, kept the literal 0.04 s under a
comment claiming it "matches the dedup scenes.json applies, so the two
views agree". They did not agree. 0.04 is one frame at 25 fps and wider
than a frame at 30, so two cuts on consecutive frames merged into one
and the loss was invisible: the pipeline simply saw fewer boundaries.
The detector now supplies the window it derived.

AR-019 -- ownership. The register says ownership "comes from the
registry, not a second local tally". Both existed: promotion fired on a
local accepted-frame count and fell back to a local per-actor plurality
when the registry had not yet claimed the track. That fallback was
reachable in the live pipeline, not just in tests -- three accepted
frames arrive well before a posterior crosses the ownership threshold --
so in practice the plurality usually decided, and it could not see the
AR-025 correlation discounting it was meant to defer to. The tally is
gone; promotion now requires the registry's verdict, with the accepted
-frame count demoted to an explicit evidence floor.

AR-017 -- the route. DeadTrack carried belief but no route, and the sink
wrote the literal string "live", so a field the schema publishes could
not distinguish anything. AR-017's own verification asks for "deferred
and pooled routes distinguishable". Route is now an enum on the claim.
Only `live` occurs today; `deferred` exists so AR-020's pass has
somewhere to write instead of a serialisation change to make.

Also: TrackGallery::forget had no callers, under a comment asserting the
matcher called it "on a cut or track disappearance". The cut half was
true by another route; the disappearance half was not, so a track that
died quietly kept its diversity buffer until the next cut cleared
everything. Replaced with prune_dead against the registry's own
liveness, the same shape as the tracker's prune_boxes -- a second
opinion about which tracks exist is a second thing that can be wrong.

Removes dead logistic/logit helpers and fixes five TRACES tags that used
a comma where a pipe separates requirement types, which the gate had
been reporting as diagnostics.

dtourolle 7c7d4934ae refactor(presence): execute the extinction_sec/anneal_sec withdrawal 
docs/SPEC.md specified this removal, listed its parts, and ended "grep
for both names and expect no survivors". There were about forty.
docs/requirements.md meanwhile recorded both constants as Withdrawn and
"deleted rather than retained at zero", on the grounds that a field
naming a mechanism the pipeline no longer has is actively misleading.
Neither statement was true of the code: Config still carried
extinction_sec 57.4 and anneal_sec 35.5, --extinction and --anneal still
parsed, and SceneTrackerFunc still ran its keep-alive in both shipped
pipelines, announcing its timeout at every startup.

SceneTrackerFunc is replaced by FrameAnnotationFunc, which is stateless:
same ports, same output type, no keep-alive. Presence belongs to
TrackRegistry (AR-012), where a window is the extent of a track an actor
owned and ends at the last sighting (AR-013). The keep-alive answered
that question a second time and answered it worse, by re-opening exactly
the trailing cool-down AR-013 refuses.

Visible change: --verbosity standard's frames[].identified listed every
actor inside the keep-alive, including ones absent from the frame. It
now lists what was matched in that frame. Minimal and xray output is
untouched -- both were already built from registry claims and never
consulted this node. No schema bump: the published extraction block
reports track_extinction_sec, a different knob that bounds
re-association and never extends a claim.

TrackRegistry::Config::extinction_sec is renamed track_extinction_sec to
match the Config field feeding it, so the grep SPEC.md asks for now
returns nothing rather than one confusing false positive.

Two targets turned out to have been silently dead, both since the
AR-007/AR-008 tracker redesign, and both for the same reason -- they
construct FaceTrackerFunc from a Config alone, a signature that stopped
existing when association moved into probability space:

- scene_preview is fixed here. It now mirrors main.cpp's construction
  order exactly (matcher, then registry, then tracker) and wires the
  registry's claims into the sink, which it was not doing. DP-001 says
  modes are front-ends that must not fork pipeline logic; this one had
  forked it and then rotted.
- sae_kpn is not fixed. Restructuring the seam so the tracker can reach
  a calibration that only exists once the matcher is built is VR-011's
  rewrite, not a patch, and presence claims do not cross the seam at all
  today. It is now behind SAE_BUILD_KPN_BINDINGS=OFF with the reason
  recorded, so `cmake --build` succeeds and the breakage is attributed
  rather than rediscovered.

That second one is worth stating plainly: VR-002 ("replay drives the
real KPN nodes, not a reimplementation") is marked Done, and the module
that makes replay possible has not compiled for some time. The .so in a
stale build/ predates the change.

Python side: the two names are gone from optimize.py, replay.py and
run_holdout_all_models.py as Config keys. anneal_sec survives as
REPLAY_LOCAL_KEYS -- it still configures replay.py's own windowing,
which is a Python reimplementation that no longer matches the sink and
is documented as such. That divergence is VR-011's.

dtourolle e1de98e783 feat(ar-024): enforce the invariant statically, and delete the fallback it caught 
AR-024's register row gives its verification tier as "Static check -- no
bare cosine outside a tagged EXCEPTION". No such check existed, so the
invariant was enforced by reading, and reading had missed a live
violation.

scripts/ci/check_raw_cosine.py is that check, wired into the
traceability workflow as a blocking step. It is honest about its reach:
it catches direct cosine_similarity() uses not routed through a
calibration, and it cannot follow a cosine through a variable across
statements. That limit is documented in the script rather than left for
someone to discover after trusting a pass.

What it caught, and what this commit removes with it:

The identity matcher's no-calibration fallback thresholded raw cosine
distance (match_threshold) plus a ratio test (match_ratio,
match_ratio_ceil). Worse than the invariant breach: it fed
max(0, cosine) into TrackRegistry::observe, whose contract reads
"posterior is a calibrated probability, never a raw cosine (AR-024) ...
so the accumulation cannot be fed an uncalibrated number by a careless
caller". It could, and did. And it disagreed with the rest of the
pipeline about what "the fit failed" means -- same_person_probability
answers that with the untuned default sigmoid and a loud warning, so
association stayed in probability space while matching alone left it.
One run, two policies, no announcement.

Now one rule: cal_.probability() always, with a warning when the fit is
not real. A worse answer than a fitted calibration, a better one than a
number whose units nothing else shares.

TrackGallery::set_calibration is mandatory for the same reason. Its
default was max(0, cosine), which made expand_band_lo = 0.90 mean
"cosine > 0.9" in a test and "P(same person) > 0.9" in production.
FaceTrackerFunc already threw without one; the expansion store now
matches.

One exception is recorded, in the calibration's own dedup. It is not a
close call: at 1 - 1e-7 it asks whether two vectors are the same vector,
and it runs on the fit's input, so a calibrated comparison there would
have to be calibrated by the fit it is feeding.

Also drops seven dead keys from the optimizer's CFG_KEYS. Config keys
are read with a contains() check, so each one had been silently inert
since the field behind it was deleted -- a sweep varying one of them
measured nothing and reported an ordinary-looking F1.

dtourolle fd078c399f ci(tests): actually run the tier the verification strategy is built on 
docs/requirements.md describes four verification tiers and argues that
T1 (functor unit) and T2 (replay) are "the only tiers that can exist in
CI at all". The traceability gate then reports a CI-scope coverage
fraction over exactly those tiers. Nothing ran them: the only workflow
was the gate itself, which reads source comments, and SAE_BUILD_TESTS
defaults to OFF. "Covered" meant a TRACES tag existed in a file.

That is the same failure the gate's own config warns about one level up
-- counting a test that cannot run -- and the gate cannot see it,
because a tag is all a static reader has.

Runs in the pinned DP-007 CPU builder image, which the image script
already expected this workflow to exist (it names unit-tests.yml and
asserts its tag). Nothing here calls a model: T1 constructs node
functors directly and T2 replays a precomputed dump, so the GPU-free
N100 runner is sufficient by construction rather than by concession.

Two deliberate hard failures. A missing replay fixture fails the job
instead of skipping, because pull_artifacts.sh warns-and-continues and a
T2 test whose input never arrived must not look like a pass. And the
image reporting a tag other than the pinned one fails rather than
building against an unknown toolchain.

It found a real bug on its first run: see the preceding commit. ctest
runs each case in its own process, which turned a 1-in-4 heap corruption
from noise in the aggregate binary into a reproducible failure.

dtourolle bedc859d3c fix(audio): zero-initialise the channel layouts before the resampler copy 
av_channel_layout_copy() documents that it always uninitialises the
destination first, and av_channel_layout_uninit() calls av_freep() on
u.map. Declaring the layouts without {} therefore handed free() whatever
pointer-shaped garbage occupied that stack slot.

Not theoretical: UT-103 aborted with "free(): invalid pointer" in about
1 run in 4. Zero failures in 40 runs after the fix, against 10 in 40
before it.

Two things kept it hidden, both worth remembering:

- It is stack-dependent, so it disappears under an AddressSanitizer
  build and reads as a flake in the aggregate test binary, where the
  case usually passes. ctest, which runs each case in its own process,
  is what made it a reproducible failure rather than noise.
- UT-103 is the only test that reaches this branch, because it is the
  only one whose input is stereo. The golden-vector tests use a mono
  11025 Hz fixture chosen so the vector cannot depend on libswresample
  — which is right, and means bit-exactness against the golden vector
  is not evidence about the downmix path.

dtourolle 718dad688d docs(register): record the quality vector, the benchmark, and what lossless fanout costs 
Status for the two changes just landed, plus the consequence AR-004's
fix has for the scene join.

The annotator's old comment said blocking there was safe because the
branches are independent. That stopped being true when the fanout became
lossless: it now stops popping once one branch stops taking, so a
starved detector and a waiting annotator would wedge. What actually
makes it safe is join depth -- the fanout can run the dense branch ahead
by the whole of the sampled branch's buffering, which at kSceneJoinDepth
256 and sample_fps 5 against a 25 fps source is ~1200 dense frames
against TransNetV2's 100-frame window. Cutting kSceneJoinDepth below the
window would reintroduce the wedge, so it is now a correctness
precondition rather than a tuning knob.

dtourolle a5ee3c05ce feat(benchmark): per-node cost and bottleneck attribution for a run 
--benchmark <path> reports cumulative CPU and wall time per node and
names the node pacing the run. The pacing node is located from sampled
channel occupancy, not from time-in-node: backpressure inflates
time-in-node for everything downstream of the real bottleneck, so the
obvious measure names the victim rather than the cause.

Sampling starts with the network and stops before it is destroyed.
Channel fill is instantaneous and everything has drained by shutdown, so
a single read at the end reports an idle pipeline however congested it
was.

kill -USR1 dumps the table from a running or wedged process. Channel
occupancy identifies a stalled node -- full input, empty output --
without a debug build or a debugger, which is the difference between
diagnosing the AR-004 hang in seconds and reproducing it under gdb.

Two knobs this exposes for measurement rather than sets: SAE_CV_THREADS,
because OpenCV's TBB arena and KPN's thread-per-node are two schedulers
unaware of each other on the same cores; and SAE_CUDA_BLOCKING_SYNC,
because the default spin-wait held the embedder thread at 99.7% user
time while nvidia-powerd cut the GPU's clock from 1005 to 210 MHz.
Neither default changes until a measurement says it should.

dtourolle 777c98cb33 feat(quality): score every face on sharpness and alignment before it is evidence 
Every embedding now carries the quality of the input it came from. Both
axes fall out of the AR-005 warp for free: crop_sharpness() is the
normalised Laplacian variance over the aligned 112x112, so contrast and
size cannot leak into it, and the alignment residual is the part of the
landmark deformation a similarity transform cannot explain, so in-plane
roll reads as zero and foreshortening does not.

Carried, not consumed. Nothing discounts or thresholds on either number
yet -- that is AR-030 and VR-012, and the knee has to be located against
recorded data before a gate is chosen. What this change buys is that the
data exists to locate it with.

No face is admitted unscored: the -1 sentinel is preserved rather than
clamped, and a degenerate landmark fit is counted rather than silently
dropped.

Takes the VR-001 dump to schema_version 2. The bump is not for readers,
which check for the datasets by name and replay a v1 dump unchanged; it
is so a consumer can tell "never scored" from "scored zero", which is
not recoverable from the arrays afterwards.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 c1155cb607 feat(gemm): the annex is a matrix, not a list — scored by the same GEMM 
The per-film annex was folded in after the gallery multiply by a host-side
cosine loop over a vector of {embedding, actor} structs, justified in-comment
by "tens of embeddings". AR-018/AR-019 retired that assumption: every owned
track promotes, so the annex grows with cast size and film length.

TrackGallery now holds it as a contiguous row-major matrix with a parallel
actor index — the flat_emb_/flat_actor_ shape the baked gallery already uses —
and hands newly promoted rows to the matcher once per frame. The matcher pushes
them into the similarity engine's resident matrix through a new
ISimilarityEngine::append_rows, so one SGEMM covers baked and promoted
references alike and best-of-N is a single pass over one similarity column.
Capacity doubles on overflow, and the GPU backends grow device-to-device, so a
promotion never re-uploads the gallery across the bus.

Absorbing promotions runs once per frame, after every face has been scored.
Appending mid-frame would invalidate the similarity pointer the chunk loop is
still reading, and it also removes an incidental dependence on face order
within a frame — a promotion helps subsequent frames, never the one that
produced it, which is the semantics the expansion store already documented.

OpenBLAS becomes a requirement of the CPU GEMM backend rather than an
opportunistic upgrade. That path is what CI and the cpu builder image run, so
falling back to the scalar loop in silence meant AR-027 could be measured — or
believed — on a kernel no release uses. The loop survives as the correctness
oracle the BLAS backends are diffed against, behind SAE_ALLOW_SCALAR_GEMM.

Call site 3, the deferred TBI pass, is untouched: it does not exist until
AR-020, so AR-026 stays In Progress.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 f33403fff8 feat(scene): feed TransNetV2 at native rate, derive the dedup window from it 
Closes both violations SPEC.md named under "Every model gets the input it
was trained for". They are one bug, not two.

The dense stream defaulted to 12 fps, so a 100-frame TransNetV2 window
spanned ~8.3 s against the ~4 s it was trained on: half-speed motion over
twice its temporal context. Boundary timestamps stayed correct throughout,
which is exactly why the degradation was invisible and why the compressed
separation it produced (~0.50 baseline against ~0.7+ peaks) was read as a
property of the ONNX export rather than of the input.

Dedup then merged boundaries closer than a literal 0.04 s — one frame at
25 fps, and wider than a frame at 30, so two cuts on consecutive frames
became one. Nothing in scenes.json showed it; the file simply had fewer
boundaries. Native rate is where that constant did the most damage, which
is why fixing the decode rate without fixing the dedup would have made
things worse.

dedup_window_sec() now takes the median interval the detector was actually
fed and halves it. Half a frame rather than a whole one: the only thing
being merged is one frame scored by two overlapping windows, and two
distinct frames are a full interval apart.

Cost is real — dense decode is the pipeline's cost driver. It is accepted;
dense_scale and scene_stride remain the reductions that do not run the
model off-distribution. scene_threshold 0.60 was fitted against the 12 fps
input and is now stale, so VR-006 goes from Low to Medium: it is no longer
a refinement, it is a constant that no longer describes the input.

AR-002 rides along because it was already implemented, just untagged and
unverified — the register said Planned while the code was correct. The size
filter becomes FaceDetectorFunc::drop_undersized(), tested at the threshold
and at dense_scale 0.5, and checked end to end against the superhero dump,
whose smallest face is exactly its recorded 32 px minimum, so the fixture
check cannot pass vacuously.

dtourolle 22758da118 docs: SuperHero benchmark — how to reproduce it and what it scores 
Records the reference film end to end: fetching the annotations and mugshots,
fusing the scene clips into one stream, building the gallery at the 66 px face
floor, and the measured result (precision 1.00, recall 0.65, F1 0.79).

Three things are written down because each cost time to discover:

- Why Bali was withdrawn. Its reference crops have a median detected face of
  27 px against a 69 px maximum, so every reference was upscaled past what the
  embedder was trained for (AR-011). No threshold fixed it — at 66 px, 2 of 69
  references survived. Any accuracy figure recorded against Bali measures
  upscaling artifacts as much as the pipeline.
- Run it as one film. Per-scene clips defeat per-film gallery expansion
  (AR-019) and pay model load ten times over.
- Check you are on the GPU. ORT's CUDA provider fails to load here and falls
  back to CPU silently, so a build-ort timing is a CPU number wearing a GPU
  label — a 15x error whose only symptom is a number with no baseline.

dtourolle d98dc2855a refactor(bench): SuperHero replaces Road to Bali as the reference film 
Bali was chosen because the TRECVID DVU set ships character mugshots, but
its reference crops are unusable at scale: median detected face 27 px
against a 69 px maximum, so every reference was upscaled 4x or more past
what the embedder was trained for (AR-011). A 66 px floor left 2 of 69
references; no threshold exists that both keeps the faces in distribution
and leaves enough of them to calibrate.

SuperHero is 69 px median and 241 px max. Its gallery builds at a 66 px
floor with 14 references over 5 characters, and calibrates on its own
(a=15.2867 b=-4.98633, 100% train accuracy) instead of borrowing constants.

Measured on the fused 17-minute film, one stream rather than per-scene
clips so presence windows cross real scene boundaries as SR-002 intends:
precision 1.00, recall 0.65, F1 0.79 — 13 true positives, 0 false
positives, 7 misses. Every out-of-gallery character was declined rather
than forced onto a nearest match. The misses are the short scenes (14 s,
38 s, 27 s), consistent with per-track accumulation needing sightings.

- build_gallery gains --min-face-px, filtering the *detected face* rather
  than the crop. The DVU images are scene crops, not mugshots, so crop
  dimensions say nothing about face scale. A poisoned reference is
  permanent in a way a bad frame is not: it corrupts every future match
  against that identity.
- scripts/fetch_dvu.sh fetches mugshots, scene graphs and segmentation for
  any DVU film. NIST names the same film three different ways, so KG_DIR
  and KG_FILE are overridable rather than derived. This exists as a script
  because the first copy of this data was assembled ad hoc in /tmp and was
  lost with it, taking the working gallery along.
- Replay fixtures move to the artifact registry: push/pull_artifacts.sh
  gain a replay-fixtures target, and tests/fixtures/dumps/.gitignore keeps
  them out of git. superhero.h5 is ~9 MB and regenerating it needs the
  film, the models and a GPU — none of which CI has. The gallery ships

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 eff696b49a fix(expansion): finish AR-018, retiring the last two expansion cosines 
AR-018 was marked Done while the promotion path still ran on the
constants it was meant to replace. track_gallery.hpp rejected a track
when buffer_spread (1 minus the minimum pairwise cosine) exceeded
expand_track_spread_max, and skipped a view when its raw gal_sim cleared
expand_novelty_sim. Both were bare cosines with no recorded EXCEPTION,
so both were defects under the AR-024 invariant rather than tagging gaps.

The calibrated band was real but unreachable. expand_band_lo/hi were
declared in Config and read nowhere, and set_band() had no callers, so
the gate always ran at the hardcoded 0.90/0.95 while --expand-novelty-sim
and --expand-spread-max stayed live flags.

The spread gate becomes store_coherence: the band's lower bound asked of
every pair in the store, in probability space, rather than a second
constant. admit() compares a newcomer only against its nearest existing
member, so a gradually drifting track chains A to B to C with every step
inside the band while A and C are strangers — the shape a track-ID
collision takes over a slow pan. The bound is re-asked pairwise before
anything reaches an actor's annex.

The novelty gate is deleted rather than converted. SPEC section AR-018
contrasts the band with expand_novelty_sim as the thing it replaces, and
AR-019 requires only that the band is satisfied. Novelty-seeking now
lives entirely in the eviction ordering, which ranks by similarity to the
actor's references instead of cutting at a constant, so there is nothing
left to tune but the two bounds.

BufEntry stored a raw cosine and the eviction loop compared two of them.
The map is monotonic so the ranking was never wrong, but it left a bare
cosine as a decision variable; it now stores the calibrated probability.

The [AR-018] Catch2 tag previously sat on the spread gate, reporting the
replaced mechanism as verification of its replacement. It now sits on the
band: both bounds asserted exactly, since they are inclusive and an
off-by-one there is invisible anywhere else; refusal counted on each
side; and the config bounds driven away from the shipped defaults so a
hardcoded fallback fails. The case that carries the invariant is "band
thresholds probability, not cosine" — under a calibration shifted by
0.10, cosine 0.84 is admitted and cosine 0.92 refused, the opposite of
their raw verdicts. A raw-cosine gate passes an identity-calibrated test
by accident and cannot pass that one. 15 cases, 38 assertions, passing.

scene_preview.cpp takes the flag rename because it would otherwise
reference deleted Config fields. It still does not compile, for reasons
predating this change: it also reads track_max_embed_dist and
track_max_frames_missing, retired by the earlier AR-024 tracker work, and
constructs FaceTrackerFunc with one argument where the registry and
calibration are now required.

Two notes for anyone reading the chain. The main.cpp flag rename and the
AR-018/AR-024 register rows landed in 35e7033, whose trailer names AR-004
only, so git log --grep=AR-018 will not surface them. And
docs/traceability.md is left uncommitted on purpose: regenerating it now
would bake in VR-013 rows for two experiment scripts that are not yet
committed.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 ffdad9873d test: tag the untagged suites; correct two stale headers 
Four test files and one node header carried no TRACES tag, so the
requirements they verify read as implemented-but-unverified. Tagging a
test is what distinguishes the two.

test_calibration.cpp is AR-023; its three [report] cases verify GR-003
and are tagged separately, since the report is fitted from the same
distributions but is its own requirement. test_similarity.cpp is the CI
half of AR-026 — equivalence against hand-computed dot products, where
throughput at scale is AR-027 and cannot run on this host.
test_face_tracker.cpp is AR-007 and AR-008.

Two headers described code that no longer exists. face_aligner_node.hpp
still documented the RANSAC fit AR-005 replaced with an Umeyama
least-squares fit over all five points — not merely out of date but the
opposite of what the file does, and it reads as a rationale for
discarding the landmarks AR-030 measures. test_face_tracker.cpp still
described the park/revive branch AR-008 deleted, and the raw-cosine
cut_revive_sim that guarded it, which AR-024 retired.

dtourolle 5c6603e63b fix(kpn): park on full outputs; surface node exceptions 
Adopts the KPN backpressure fix (28e0667) and registers the application
error listener it exposes.

`push_blocking` parked a scheduler worker inside the push. Each ObjectNode
owns a private single-thread pool, so the parked thread was the only one
that could drain that node's own input: under sustained backpressure
frame_source, camera_pos, face_detector and face_aligner all slept in
nanosleep at once and the pipeline stopped. Nodes now hold the value,
release the worker, and resume on a channel space-callback.

main.cpp registers set_error_handler so a node that throws names itself
and its exception. Previously the exception was discarded at the node
boundary and survived only as "node 'x' stopped unexpectedly", which says
that a node died but not why — the missing detail that made this slow to
diagnose.

AR-004 drops from Done to Mostly. Two gaps are recorded rather than
claimed fixed: a hang surviving at roughly 1 run in 20 against a 300 s
timeout (down from every run failing), and FanoutNode still dropping on
overflow instead of parking, which sheds frames on the AR-010 scene join
precisely when the dense branch falls behind.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 3bf4d60a6f docs: regenerate the traceability matrix for VR-014 
The committed matrix predated the audio-signature binding, so VR-014 and
the four UT tags in `test_audio_offset.py` were absent from it while being
present in the register — the one inconsistency a generated file is
supposed to make impossible.

VR-014 also needed an explicit tier row. The blanket `VR-* | Out of CI`
line is right about every other study and wrong about this one: its
fixture is committed and its signature is CPU-only DSP, so it is a test a
CI host can run rather than a measurement someone has to remember to
repeat. Left as an exception under the blanket rather than rewriting the
rule, because the rule still describes the other thirteen.

Coverage unchanged at 38/69; the gate reports no orphan tags.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 71354e862a docs: VR-013 and VR-014 results; AR-002 raised to 40px 
Records study results and the requirement change that follows from them.

VR-013 measures minimum face size end to end — gallery from one recording,
probes from another — rather than by degrading an already-aligned crop. Holding
90% of the plateau needs ~50 px that way against VR-005's ~22 px, the gap being
detection and landmark error rather than the embedder. AR-002 therefore takes
40 px, not 32: VR-005 isolates the embedder and is an upper bound, and 32 admits
faces in the falling region. FPI stayed 0.0% at every scale, and the ceiling is
cross-view rather than resolution.

VR-014 exercises audio-signature offset recovery on real film audio instead of
the synthetic golden tone. Forty random in-cap offsets, every one recovered to
the nearest frame, worst error 46 ms against a 500 ms budget — and 46 ms is the
quantisation floor rather than a result, since offsets land on whole 92.88 ms
frames. The runtime/2 anchor is confirmed through head-trimmed files.

The soft spot VR-014 found is tier labelling, not accuracy: the score drops with
sub-frame misalignment, so 27 of 40 correct alignments were demoted to `loose`.
One frame of slack in the score restores all forty to `audio` with false matches
unmoved.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 2a8ee3660b feat(audio): bind the v1 signature and validate offset recovery on real content 
sae_audio exposes the shipped signature to Python. It compiles
audio_signature.cpp directly against FFmpeg rather than linking
sae_gallery: the signature needs no model, no OpenCV and no HDF5, so a
module that dragged those in would make `import sae_audio` depend on a
GPU-capable build of a path that is pure CPU DSP.

The point of binding rather than porting is that a fingerprint is only
useful if every implementation agrees byte for byte. A numpy port would
be a third implementation, and the one nobody checks against the golden
vector.

VR-014 then recovers a known trim from real film audio rather than from
the synthetic tone: 40 random in-cap offsets, every one recovered to the
nearest frame, worst error 46 ms against a 500 ms budget — and 46 ms is
the quantisation floor, not a result, since offsets land on whole
92.88 ms frames.

The soft spot is tier labelling rather than accuracy. Sub-frame
misalignment drags the score down (0.94-0.99 near a frame boundary,
0.69-0.73 at half a frame), demoting 27 of 40 correct alignments to
`loose`. Allowing +/-1 frame of slack in the score fixes it: all 40 back
to `audio` at min 0.906, false matches unmoved at 0.12-0.16, for 81 ms
of the budget.

The module stops at the producer's edge. Sliding one signature against
another is the consumer's algorithm (server SPEC §3, and the jRay
plugin implements it), so a caller writing that slide in numpy is not
duplicating anything this repo owns.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 b4318f8d9e fix: belief accumulates across frames (lazy-OR), not once 
A track recognised on 318 of 385 frames was owned on none, so the truth file
named nobody while the matcher was accepting almost continuously.

The correlation discount was an annihilator rather than an attenuator. Weight
was 1 - P(same view), so once a track had one stored view every later frame of
that same face scored ~0.01 and the belief stopped moving. One observation just
over the accept threshold is logit(0.78) ~ 1.27, under the ownership bar — hence
recognised always, owned never.

Two changes, in the order they were found.

Correlated evidence is now attenuated by effective sample size,
n_eff = n / (1 + (n-1)·rho), each frame contributing the marginal gain. That has
the right shape at both ends: uncorrelated evidence accumulates linearly, and a
held pose converges on 1/rho rather than growing without bound. A constant floor
was tried first and rejected — it grows linearly forever, so a long shot could
out-argue genuinely varied evidence purely by lasting longer.

Combination is now weighted lazy-OR: P = 1 - (1-P_old)·(1-p)^w, stored as
log(1-P) so the update is additive and precision stays where it matters as P
approaches 1. Each frame is new evidence that this track is that actor, and the
belief is the probability that at least one sighting was right. It converges
faster than summing log-odds at the same effective count — 2.98 vs 2.53 after
two observations at p=0.78 — which is what a real clip needs.

Note that summing log-odds was already a correct sequential Bayesian update:
the matcher fits with prior 0.5, so logit(p) IS the per-frame log-likelihood
ratio and the running sum carries the prior forward. It was not wrong, it was
slow. What blocked ownership was the discount, not the combination rule.

Also fixes a real correctness bug: the observation count lived on the
discounter, which is shared by every track, so tracks pooled into one effective
sample and each was discounted by how many others happened to be on screen. It
is now a per-track parameter.

The registry's frame scope holds its lock for its lifetime and the mutex is not
recursive, so calling observe() inside a scope self-deadlocks. The pipeline
never does — separate nodes — but the test did, and hung rather than failing.
Documented at the call site.

Verified end to end: the same clip that produced zero actors now identifies
Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour with belief 0.97.

dtourolle af5208035e docs: the RANSAC aligner was a defect, measured 
AR-005 replaced cv::estimateAffinePartial2D(..., RANSAC, 3.0) with Umeyama
least squares over all five points — the estimator InsightFace aligns with, and
so the one the ArcFace/LVFace training crops were produced by.

The first note here assumed the two agree wherever RANSAC keeps all five points,
leaving a small divergence on non-frontal faces. Measured on 400 gallery
headshots with the model held fixed, that was wrong: the crops disagree by a
median 17 source px and 83.5% embed below cos 0.99 of their Umeyama counterpart.
A 4-DoF similarity is exactly determined by two points, so every minimal sample
fits its own pair perfectly and is scored on the other three; real landmarks sit
a median 2.74 canonical px from any similarity fit, so a landmark outside the
3 px band is the common case and RANSAC returns an under-determined transform.

How much that cost in accuracy is a separate question, and the honest answer is
less than those numbers suggest. Rebuilding the full gallery moved the
intra/inter separation the AR-023 calibration is fitted from by 0.583 to 0.590:
the old warp was wrong but self-consistent, gallery and probe both went through
it, and the embedder tolerates framing variation. The sharper evidence is
duplicate detection — the rebuild dropped 1614 near-duplicates against the
original build's ~100, because unstable two-point fits gave near-identical
images visibly different vectors. That instability, not a headline accuracy
delta, is what a tracker accumulating evidence across frames was paying for.

Also records the AR-030 residual's real-data floor: on the most cooperative
images the pipeline sees, it runs a median 2.74 px, so landmark noise occupies
the first few pixels and the synthetic foreshortening ladder is optimistic about
the low end. Any discount curve has to treat that range as uninformative rather
than as mild pose, and VR-012 must set thresholds against the measured
distribution.

Tests carry the tag they verify: the residual's roll/scale invariance and
monotonicity under foreshortening are what make it a pose measure rather than a
pose-and-everything-else measure.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d3ab598434 feat(artifacts): push and pull the VR-013 corpus 
The cross-source study needs two 4K recordings and a hand-sorted set of
face crops, neither of which belongs in git. Adds an xsource target to
both artifact scripts.

Push uploads the clips as-is (already compressed) and zips labelling/.
Pull fetches both and regenerates frames with ffmpeg rather than
downloading them: ~320 MB of PNG that is deterministic from the clips.
The extraction settings are pinned in the script, not left to the
caller, because the manifests key on frame filenames and on detection
order within each frame — verify_labels.py runs afterwards and fails
loudly if they drift.

Pull refuses to overwrite an existing labelling/. It is human ground
truth: somebody looked at 167 crops and placed each one, and silently
replacing that with a remote copy would destroy the expensive half of
the study.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 1dfd6fea11 feat: gallery build report 
GR-003 — the calibration fit already computed per-actor dedup counts, how many
actors are eligible for positive pairs, and a 200-bin histogram of the intra and
inter distributions, then discarded all of it to stderr. Nothing persisted, so
nobody could audit whether a gallery was any good.

The report is written alongside the gallery at build time. That is the right
moment: the matcher fits the same sigmoid at analysis time, but by then the
answer is per-run and nobody is looking, whereas build time is when a gallery's
quality is actually decided.

What it surfaces, in order of usefulness:
- actors with no usable image — a silent recall ceiling, since the pipeline can
  never name them and nothing else says why
- actors below the positive-pair threshold — not broken, so nothing complains;
  they just quietly weaken every threshold downstream
- near-duplicate references removed, per actor and total
- the fitted calibration AND the two distributions behind it

That last one is the point. Every threshold in the pipeline is expressed in the
probability space this sigmoid defines, so if the distributions overlap heavily
the calibration is weak and every downstream decision inherits it — while the
gallery still looks fine from the outside.

The gallery-derived prior, intra/(intra+inter), is computed and reported but the
shipped default of 0.5 is deliberately left alone. The spec records these as
disagreeing; now the real value is visible, so the decision can be made on
evidence rather than argument.

Three tests: a zero-image actor is visible in the report, an under-referenced
actor is counted, and the report round-trips through JSON.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 6aabeb9897 feat: provenance attributes on the embedding dump 
VR-010 — a dump made with one detector/embedder pair was byte-indistinguishable
from one made with another, except for the two attributes GR-004 added. Replayed
against a gallery from a different model, cosine similarities are meaningless
but look entirely plausible. The register states the principle directly: a
fixture whose provenance is unknown is worse than no fixture, because it will be
trusted.

Sixteen attributes now record everything that determines the dump's content:
detector model and thresholds, min_face_px, max_faces, cut_threshold,
dense_scale, bbox_upscale, start/end, track_assoc_min_prob, and scene_detect.

scene_detect is the one that matters most. is_scene_boundary is all-zero both
when the detector found nothing and when it never ran, and those mean completely
different things to a consumer — without the flag they are indistinguishable.

No schema_version bump: new root attributes are additive and replay.py already
reads attributes with a default, so older dumps stay readable and the committed
fixtures — which predate this — still load.

Also corrects SCHEMA.md, which claimed bbox was already mapped to original
resolution at dump time. It is not; the upscale is applied downstream in the
matcher, after the dump tap. Harmless while dense_scale is 1 and silently wrong
otherwise, so bbox_upscale is now recorded and the doc says what the code does.

Verified end to end: all sixteen attributes present and correct on a freshly

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 01d7ead1e7 study(VR-013): cross-source identification probe over input resolution 
Gallery from one recording, probes from another, sweeping the probe's
input resolution end to end. VR-005 asked the same question over gallery
mugshots but degraded an already-aligned 112x112 crop with alignment held
perfect, so it isolates the embedder. Here the whole frame is downscaled
before the detector, so detection and landmark regression degrade with
it — which is most of the difference.

Corpus is two 4096x2160 clips of one shoot, four people, hand-sorted.
Ground truth is sorted by hand and gated by verify_labels.py; labels
carried down the scales geometrically by box position, never by
embedding similarity, which would keep only the faces the embedder
already gets right and drop the ones the sweep exists to find.

Findings, all scored through the production gallery sigmoid at
prob_threshold 0.754 — never a raw cosine:

- Holding 90% of the plateau needs ~50 px end to end, against VR-005's
  ~22 px. min_face_px at 40 looks right; 32 would admit faces in the
  falling region.
- FPI is 0.0% at every scale. Resolution loss goes entirely to TBI.
- The ceiling is cross-view, not resolution: everyone matches themselves
  within a recording (0.55-0.85) and collapses across two (0.14-0.45,
  threshold 0.335). Only the subject with frontal *gallery* references
  identified reliably, whatever their probe pose — so the lever is
  gallery pose coverage, not a better landmark source.
- Averaging SCRFD's overlapping detections instead of discarding them at
  NMS lifts cross-recording TPI 41% -> 49%, for one forward pass and no
  extra model.

Four identities and one shoot, so the shape is the result and the
absolute rates are not. Both clips contain all four people, so there is
no out-of-gallery class and the 10x-weighted out-of-cast misID is
untested here.

Clips, frames, hand-sorted crops and results are gitignored and belong
in the artifact registry — the sorting is human ground truth and
expensive to redo.

AR-019 — promotion may only borrow same-identity evidence from a span where
identity is certain, so every discontinuity signal now clears the buffers rather
than just the histogram cut.

is_scene_boundary was already named in the gate but never set by anything, so
that half of it was dead until AR-010 gave it a producer. It now does what the
spec always said. The third signal, an identity contradiction, needs no code
here: AR-015 closes a track whose belief swapped, so it can no longer promote.

Ownership now comes from the registry rather than a second tally. TrackGallery
was computing its own plurality vote over accepted frames, which meant two
different answers to "who is this track" could coexist in one run — and the
expansion one ignored the Bayesian accumulation entirely, weighting thirty
near-identical looks the same as thirty distinct ones. The local tally survives
only as a fallback for callers with no registry attached, which is the unit
tests and the replay harness.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 c843c4abe3 feat: banded admission for the per-subject embedding store 
AR-018 — an embedding joins a track's store only if its similarity to something
already there falls inside a band, rather than merely being far from the gallery.

Above the upper bound it is redundant: another look at a pose the store already
covers, teaching the annex nothing while costing a slot a novel view could have
used. Below the lower bound it is suspect: within one track every face is the
same person by construction, so an embedding unlike everything else on the track
is evidence that construction failed — a track-ID collision or a bad detection.
Admitting it is exactly how an actor's annex gets poisoned with someone else's
face.

The old gate had only the upper half of that idea, expressed as a raw cosine
against the gallery. Both bounds are now calibrated probabilities (AR-024), so
the same number means the same thing here as in association and evidence
weighting rather than three different things.

This catches track-ID collisions EARLIER than the spread gate did — at the door
rather than at promotion — so the buffer never becomes two-person in the first
place. The spread gate stays as a second line for a track that drifts gradually
instead of jumping. The existing test was asserting the mechanism rather than
the outcome, so it was rewritten to assert what actually matters: whichever gate
fires, the outsider must not reach the annex.

Rejections are counted. A store that admits nothing is as broken as one that
admits everything, and neither is visible otherwise.

Band defaults 0.90-0.95 are working values pending VR-007; the two bounds fail in
opposite directions and must be swept separately.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 cc1bed92d8 perf: back the CPU similarity GEMM with OpenBLAS 
The CPU path was a scalar triple loop. It is the correctness oracle for the GPU
backends, but it is also what CI runs — there is no GPU on the N100 host — and
since AR-003 removed the per-frame face cap, a crowded frame now scores many
faces against a library-scale gallery. Scoring one face against 5000 embeddings
is 2.6 MFLOP; in scalar that does not hold up (AR-027).

S(g,f) viewed as row-major [n_faces x n_gallery] is exactly query * gallery^T,
so the loop nest collapses into a single cblas_sgemm.

OpenBLAS is optional in the build: found via pkg-config, and the scalar path
remains when it is absent so no hard dependency is added and the two can be
diffed when a similarity looks wrong. The configure step warns rather than
failing, since a developer without it should still get a working tree.

The test target links it too. Without that the suite compiles the scalar
fallback while the builder image ships CBLAS, so CI would be verifying a kernel
that is not the one running in production — the same class of mistake as testing
a path the gate never executes.

Recorded as required (not optional) in the DP-007 image, for the same reason.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 13bdc27566 feat: join the decode butterfly so scene boundaries reach the face branch 
AR-010 — is_scene_boundary had no producer: SceneDetectorFunc was a terminal
sink writing scenes.json and never annotating the frames flowing to face
detection. The flag was permanently false, so the boundary half of AR-007's
frame-dependent association was dead code that a test could still exercise
synthetically and appear to verify.

The topology already forks after decode — dense frames to TransNetV2, sampled
frames to face detection — so this is a fork-join. SceneBoundaries is the join:
the detector publishes each window's verdict with a watermark, and an annotator
on the sampled branch stamps the flag.

The watermark is the part that matters. TransNetV2 buffers 100 frames before it
can score any of them, so at any instant it has an opinion up to some time T and
none after. Without recording T a consumer cannot tell "no boundary" from "not
scored yet", and those demand opposite behaviour — treating unscored frames as
boundary-free is exactly what makes a downstream check pass while verifying
nothing.

Buffering alone does not work, which was my first attempt. Channel depth creates
lag only when the consumer is slower, and the face branch runs four orders of
magnitude faster per frame than TransNetV2 (0.01ms vs 400ms), so its channels
drain instantly and no lag accumulates. Measured: 106 of 364 frames outran the
detector. The annotator therefore waits on the watermark explicitly. The
detector signals completion so the tail cannot deadlock, and publishes from
flush_remaining too — without that the final frames arrive with no verdict.

Boundaries are deduped on publish, matching what scenes.json does at write time.
A run of adjacent high-scoring frames is one boundary, not several; leaving them
raw made this view report 357 where the file said 13. Now the two agree exactly.

Frames past the detector's last scored window remain unverified and are counted
as such rather than silently marked boundary-free.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 fa1c494825 docs: AR-010 is blocked on a design decision, not an implementation gap 
Making SceneDetectorFunc a pass-through does not work. TransNetV2 buffers 100
dense frames before it can score any of them and trusts only each window's
centre, so a boundary at time T is not known until roughly 3.3s after T at
30 fps. The face pipeline runs on a parallel branch and has long since passed T.
An association hint that arrives after the association is worthless.

Three options recorded with their costs: two-pass (correct, doubles the decode
that already dominates runtime), delaying the face branch (couples the two
branches' timing, which invites heisenbugs under backpressure), or leaving it
unwired.

Leaving it unwired costs less than it looks, which is what makes this a decision
rather than a defect. The redesign made cuts and boundaries do the same thing —
both say "spatial continuity is broken, associate on embedding" — so TransNetV2
adds nothing over the histogram except on transitions the histogram cannot see:
slow dissolves and fades. That gap is real but narrow.

Where TransNetV2 still earns its cost is AR-019, whose promotion gate wants a
span free of cuts and boundaries. A late answer is fine there, because promotion
happens on track confirmation rather than per frame — so it can be wired
offline against the collected boundary list, off the hot path entirely.

Recommendation: leave the association path on is_cut alone, wire boundaries into
AR-019, and revisit if dissolve-heavy material shows association failures.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 f99f1c5ccc feat: no fixed cap on faces per frame 
AR-003 — max_faces defaults to 0, meaning no cap. A fixed cap discards the
SMALLEST faces first, which are exactly the background cast X-Ray still credits
with scene membership, so the pipeline was systematically losing the people it
is supposed to find in crowded scenes.

This is only safe now that AR-004 landed. Previously an uncapped frame would
have pushed more work into channels that dropped on overflow, trading a visible
cap for silent loss. With backpressure the producer slows instead, so per-frame
cost is contained rather than discarded.

The matcher's kMaxFaces used to throw above 32, which made it an accidental
second cap. It sizes the similarity engine's preallocated buffer, so it bounds
memory rather than face count — the frame is now scored in batches of that size.
Memory stays bounded; faces do not.

Largest-first ordering is kept even without the cap, and the comment now says
why: the Hungarian solver tie-breaks on index order, so that ordering is
load-bearing for the replay determinism test rather than a leftover of the cap.

Verified end to end on a real clip: identical output to the capped run (385
frames, 693 faces), which is expected since that footage peaks at 4 faces per
frame — the point is the absence of a regression. The committed fixtures remain
byte-identical and valid.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 3605b8da78 fix: point the KPN submodule at the merged commit 
The recorded pointer was be6e922 — the backpressure fix as originally committed,
before it was rebased onto KPN master. That commit exists on no pushed branch,
so a fresh clone of this branch could not fetch the submodule at all.

Now 6595e6e, the same change on KPN master.

Worth noting for next time: rebasing a submodule commit after the superproject
has already recorded it silently invalidates the pointer. Nothing in the
superproject's status shows it, because the submodule working tree is clean and
at a valid commit — just not the one recorded.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 61e487fbee test: replay the real tracker and registry from committed fixtures 
Tier T2 — composition rather than units. The registry tests construct awkward
states directly; these feed the pieces real 480x360 footage with the cuts, gaps
and crowded frames that synthetic input does not produce.

Six cases:
- fixture integrity: exact frame and face counts, contiguous face_offset, and
  the embedder identity each dump carries (GR-004). The counts are asserted
  exactly rather than approximately, which was impossible before AR-004 — what
  a lossy run dropped depended on timing.
- determinism: replaying a fixture twice gives identical track ids and windows.
  This is the property the whole fixture strategy rests on; without it every
  golden output derived from a fixture is unreliable and the CI replay tier is
  worthless.
- every face is assigned a track, and flush leaves nothing open — a track still
  live at EOF is a window that never reaches the output.
- windows are well-formed and inside the clip. A window ends at the last
  sighting, so it can never extend past the footage that produced it.
- a longer extinction window yields fewer, longer tracks. On the sparse fixture
  (140 faces over 385 frames) that is the difference the constant actually
  makes: absorbing a gap versus splitting a window.
- the cut-heavy fixture still contains cuts. This guards the corpus, not the
  code: a regeneration that produced cut-free fixtures would leave the
  association tests passing while silently testing nothing.

Driving the functors directly rather than through a KPN network is deliberate —
no threads, no channels, no scheduling, so the same input gives the same output.

Suite: 86 cases, 6106 assertions.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 c12838b9fd fix: dropped frames fail the run instead of printing a footer 
A drop was reported to stderr and the process exited 0, so a run that discarded
320 frames "succeeded" and produced a truth file that looked complete. The
output in that case is a claim about footage that was never analysed, and
nothing in the file says so.

Now exits 2 and says why. Distinct from 1 (node crash) because the failures are
different: a crash produced no output, a drop produced output that cannot be
trusted.

This is also the regression test for AR-004 that otherwise did not exist. The
backpressure fix is one line in the KPN submodule — easy to lose in an update —
and with data pushes blocking, a drop can no longer occur on the data path. So
any drop now means either that fix regressed or a channel was disabled mid-run,
and both are worth stopping for.

Verified: a clean run still exits 0.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d31526cfaf test: committed replay fixtures from the public-domain corpus 
Five HDF5 embedding dumps from bali/ — Road to Bali (1952) — 3.6 MB total,
generated at 5 fps with a 32 px minimum face. CI never calls a model, so
inference happens on a GPU host and CI replays these as data; everything
downstream of embedding is cheap CPU maths.

Public domain is the reason this corpus rather than a convenient one: derived
fixtures can be committed, where anything cut from a copyrighted title could not
live in the repository at all.

The set covers distinct behaviours rather than being five of the same thing:
bali_28 has 9 cuts, so it exercises shot/reverse-shot association (AR-007);
bali_46 is sparse at 140 faces over 385 frames, so it exercises gaps and
extinction (AR-013); bali_13 is the busiest at 4 faces per frame; bali_31 is
short at 29s. All five recorded zero drops.

Both pinned parameters are consequences of measurements, not defaults: 5 fps
because 1 fps over a 77s clip is 77 frames, too thin for an extinction window
measured in tens of seconds; 32 px because that is the VR-005 floor, and the
corpus is 480x360 so a stricter value would reject most of what is there.

make_fixtures.sh regenerates them. Reproducibility is the requirement — a
fixture whose provenance is unknown is worse than none, because it will be
trusted. These are byte-reproducible only because of AR-004: before node
outputs blocked rather than dropped, the same command produced different dumps
run to run.

can always overtake a stalled data path. Verified on the same clip: 385 of 385
sampled frames written, zero drops, and two consecutive runs byte-identical
where previously they were not.
A later audit found the losslessness was still incomplete in three places, all
now closed and each pinned by a regression case in the KPN suite:
- **`FilterNode` and `RouterNode`** were the last data paths still using the
throwing `push()` with the exception swallowed. A full output discarded the
value, and that included the **EOF sentinel**. The decimator passes EOF by
predicate but its output is reliably full — the embedder is the slowest node
in the chain — so the token was discarded, nothing downstream shut down, and
the run had to be killed. This was the wedge.
- **The sentinel could arrive ahead of a value still queued behind it.** `pop()`
observed the ring empty and then took the sentinel; a producer can push a
value *and* publish the sentinel inside that window, so a consumer treating
EOF as a hard stop loses the tail.
- **Two firings of one node could overlap**, because the submit gate was
released before the firing had finished with the node's state. That breaks the
one-slot park itself: a parked value can be overwritten by the other firing,
with no drop recorded anywhere.
**New constraint:** a channel carries at most one undelivered sentinel. A second
offered before the first is taken is refused and reported, never queued and
never overwritten — two control tokens on one channel means the stream ended
twice. Single-shot EOF is what everything does today; this becomes live the
moment a pipeline is reused for a second input.
**Consequence:** a lossless decimator is a backpressure point, not a relief
valve. The source now throttles to the face branch rather than quietly thinning
it. That is what this requirement asks for, but it changes the shape of a loaded
run and has not yet been benchmarked.

The measure is the **variance of the Laplacian divided by the variance of the
crop** — `crop_sharpness()`, dimensionless. The division is the part that
earns its place: a raw Laplacian variance, the textbook measure, scales with
the square of image contrast, so a dim scene reads as soft and a graded-up one
as sharp, and VR-012 would locate a different knee in every film. That is
AR-024's objection to the raw cosine in another metric. Normalised, the axis
means the same thing everywhere, which is the precondition for a single knee
existing at all.
Read spectrally it is `E[|ω|⁴]` under the crop's own energy distribution, so
the blur ladder is monotone by construction rather than by fitting: Gaussian
blur multiplies that distribution by `e^{-σ²|ω|²}`, which can only move mass
downward. Two consequences follow from the same identity and are recorded on
the function: it needs the low-frequency mass real images have (on a
flat-spectrum synthetic an anisotropic smear makes it *rise*, because the
surviving perpendicular detail really is as fine as before), and it conflates
focus with intrinsic texture, so a bearded face outscores a smooth one at equal
focus. Both are true of every no-reference sharpness measure, and both are
reasons AR-028 carries the number rather than thresholding on it.

**Gap:** three, in the order they block each other.
1. **The fixtures do not carry the vector.** They are v1, and re-dumping needs a
GPU host (`scripts/make_fixtures.sh`), so until that runs VR-012 has recorded
data available in principle and none in hand.
2. **AR-030's discount does not exist.** The measure must reach
`EvidenceDiscounter` as the reliability term, multiplying the novelty weight
rather than replacing it.
3. **Two properties of the sharpness measure are recorded but unquantified on
real faces**, and both distort the low end of the axis, which is where a knee
would go. It is exactly contrast-invariant in the algebra, but the 8-bit
quantisation floor lands in the numerator, so a crop that is *dim and soft*
reads sharper than it is — on the synthetic ladder a half-contrast copy reads
0.9% high when sharp and 148% high at σ 2.5. Separately, `align_face` warps
with `BORDER_CONSTANT`, so a face crossing the frame edge brings a hard black
step into the crop, and a step edge is high-frequency; the normalisation
blunts this but does not remove it. Neither is corrected here. The candidate
fixes are a validity mask or a different border mode, and the second changes
what the embedder is fed (AR-011) — so VR-012 measures the size of each effect
on the dumped distribution first, and no correction is chosen before that.

## VR-015 — Per-node cost and bottleneck attribution
**Requirement: a run must be able to report where its time went, per node, and
which node is setting the pace.** Without it, optimisation is guesswork, and
worse than guesswork — the obvious number is wrong in a specific, repeatable
direction, so acting on it makes the pipeline slower.
**Why the obvious number is wrong.** KPN times a node across `fire_once`, which
wraps the functor *and* `push_outputs`. Under AR-004 a push parks on a full
downstream channel, so a node that is merely waiting bills that wait to itself.
On the SuperHero reference run (`docs/benchmark.md`) `frame_source` reported
`ema=141.899ms` per frame while its own decoder logged 12-18 ms: it was
backpressured, and the report named the *fastest* node in the graph as the most
expensive one. A second trap sits behind the first — `ema_exec_ms` is an
exponentially weighted average, so `frames × ema` is not a total; on a film whose
per-frame cost swings between crowd scenes and landscapes the two differ
substantially.
**Method.** Three measurements per node, none of which is sufficient alone:
| Measure | What it is | What it cannot tell you |
|---|---|---|
| `cpu_ms` | thread CPU time (`CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID`) | GPU wait — a device-bound node looks idle |
| `exec_ms` | cumulative wall time inside the node | work from waiting — backpressure inflates it |
| `pressure` | mean input fill − mean output fill | how expensive the node is, only that it paces |
Queue occupancy has to be **sampled during the run**. `current_fill` is
instantaneous and every channel has drained by shutdown, so a single read at the
end describes an idle pipeline however congested it was.
**The number that matters** is `pressure`, because work piles up in front of the
bottleneck and starves everything after it, and that ordering holds whether the
node is waiting on a core, a GPU or a disk. `cpu_share` then selects the repair:
a pacing node with a saturated thread is CPU-bound and the work must get cheaper,
while a pacing node with an idle thread is device-bound, where batch size and
engine precision are the knobs and the C++ is not.
**Current:** `--benchmark <path>` writes the JSON report and prints a table at
shutdown; `src/benchmark.hpp`. Attribution is a pure function over KPN snapshots,
so it is verified on CI's GPU-free N100 (UT-120…UT-124) rather than only by
running the pipeline. The node graph is recovered from KPN's channel names, so a
re-wired topology needs no change here. Required `NodeStats::total_exec_us` in
the KPN submodule — the EMA could not be turned into a total.
**Gap:** GPU utilisation and memory are not sampled, so a device-bound verdict
says *that* a node waits on the GPU, not whether the GPU is saturated or merely
badly fed. That distinction needs NVML, and it is what VR-008 will want anyway.

in VP8/WebM gets dearer the deeper you go, and there are few faces. Always quote
the whole-film average.
### Where the time goes (VR-015)
Measured over the whole film, 2026-08-04:
| node | cpu_s | % of pipeline CPU | cpu/f | exec/f | stall/f | in% | out% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **embedder** | **91.0** | **60%** | 17.74 | 21.61 | 3.87 | 12 | 0 |
| **face_detector** ▶ | 41.4 | 27% | 8.07 | 24.20 | **16.14** | **99** | **0** |

| tracker / sink | 0.5 | <1% | — | — | — | 0 | 0 |
**`face_detector` paces the run**: its input channel is 97.8% full while its
output is 99.4% empty — everything upstream jammed, everything downstream
starved. It occupies 5129 × 24.20 ms ≈ 124.1 s of a 124.2 s run, essentially
100% wall occupancy, yet only 33% of that is CPU. The other 16.14 ms/frame is
device wait.
**The embedder is the larger cost but not the constraint**: 60% of all pipeline
CPU, 73% of wall as thread-busy. Whether that is real work or a spinning
`cudaStreamSynchronize` is unresolved — see the sync caveat below, which is a
one-line experiment.
**`frame_source` is the trap this table exists to defuse.** It reports
`exec/f = 11.26 ms` against `cpu/f = 2.36 ms`, and its output channel is 97%
full: it is backpressured, not expensive. The old KPN `ema` reading made it look
like the most costly node in the pipeline at 141.899 ms/frame.
`--benchmark <path>` writes a per-node timing report and prints a table at
shutdown. `hero/run_bench.sh` is `run_trt.sh` with it switched on:
```bash
./build/scene_analyze … --benchmark $H/bench_trt.json --output $H/pred_bench.json
```
**Do not read the `ema` column of the old KPN diagnostics block as a cost.** KPN
times a node across `fire_once`, which wraps the functor *and* the push to the
next channel, and a push parks when that channel is full (AR-004). A
backpressured node therefore bills its waiting to itself. On this film that
produced a genuinely inverted answer:
```
│ frame_source frames=5132 ema=141.899ms ← reported cost
[frame_source] decode avg=16.6127ms fps=60.19 ← actual decode
```
The source is not expensive; it is idle, holding a frame nobody has taken yet.
Optimising against that number means optimising the fastest node in the graph.
The benchmark report separates the two:
| Column | Meaning | Blind spot |
|---|---|---|
| `cpu_s`, `cpu%tot` | thread CPU time, and this node's share of all of it | a GPU wait looks like idleness |
| `cpu/f` | CPU ms per frame — backpressure cannot inflate it | as above |
| `exec/f` | wall ms per frame in the node, **including parked pushes** | overstates a blocked node |
| `stall/f` | `exec/f − cpu/f`: parked, or waiting on a device | does not say which |
| `in%`, `out%` | mean fill of the node's input and output channels | — |
| `press` | `in% − out%`; **the node marked ▶ is pacing the run** | not a cost, an ordering |
Read `press` first: work queues up in front of the bottleneck and starves
everything after it, so the pacing node is the one with a full input and an empty
output. Then read `cpu%run` to decide the repair — a saturated thread means the
work itself must get cheaper, while an idle thread under pressure means the node
is waiting on the GPU or the disk, where batch size and engine precision are the
knobs and the C++ is not.
Channel fills are sampled every 100 ms (`--benchmark-interval-ms`) because
`current_fill` is instantaneous: by shutdown every channel has drained, so a
single read at the end reports an idle pipeline no matter how congested it was.
#### Check the GPU is not throttled before comparing anything
**On this hardware, thermal state moves the result more than any code change
we are likely to make.** The same binary measured **8.25× cool and 3.12× once
heat-soaked** — a 2.6× swing — because the laptop RTX 3050 hits `SW Thermal
Slowdown` and pins the SM clock to **210 MHz out of 2100**:
```
$ nvidia-smi -q -d PERFORMANCE | grep -E "SW Power Cap|SW Thermal"
SW Power Cap : Active
SW Thermal Slowdown : Active
```
A number recorded without its clock state is not comparable to any other
number, and back-to-back full-film runs guarantee the later ones are throttled.
`run_bench.sh` now records `nvidia-smi` either side of the run into
`bench_gpu.txt`; check it before believing a regression. Let the GPU idle back
to full clock between measurements, and never A/B two runs across a heat-soak.
This one cost real time here: a 2.7× "regression" was attributed to a code
change and reverted on that basis, when the change was innocent and the GPU had
simply warmed up between the two measurements.
#### `cpu_s` on a GPU node is mostly spin — measured
CUDA's default sync policy (`cudaDeviceScheduleAuto`) spin-waits before it
yields, so `cudaStreamSynchronize` charges the *calling thread's* CPU while the
GPU works. A GPU-bound node therefore reports a large `cpu_s` and reads as
CPU-bound.
`SAE_CUDA_BLOCKING_SYNC=1` switches to a blocking wait. Measured over 300 s of
film, four cases, identical otherwise:
| case | realtime | total CPU | embedder CPU |
|---|---|---|---|
| baseline | 3.29× | 103 s | 66 s |
| **`SAE_CUDA_BLOCKING_SYNC=1`** | 3.29× | **23 s** | **4 s** |
| `SAE_CV_THREADS=1` | 3.30× | 101 s | 66 s |
| both | 3.29× | 25 s | 5 s |
**94% of the embedder's CPU was spin, not work**, and 78% of the pipeline's.
Throughput is unchanged, so this is free CPU — which matters for a service
sharing a box (DP-003) and makes `cpu_s` mean what it says. Prefer it for any
run where the CPU numbers are being read.
`SAE_CV_THREADS=1` does nothing measurable: the only OpenCV-heavy node is
`face_aligner` at 1-2% of the pipeline, so the TBB arena is not worth removing
and `warpAffine` is not worth replacing.
**Caveat: measured with the GPU clamped at 210 MHz** (see below). A device at
full clock spends less time in the sync, so the absolute spin figure will fall;
the ranking should not.
#### `cpu_s` counts one thread — mind the TBB arena
OpenCV 5 here is built against TBB, and every OpenCV module links it, so
`cv::parallel_for_` dispatches onto a TBB arena of `nproc − 1` workers (19 on the
20-core dev box; visible as `libtbb.so.12` frames in a thread dump). Since
`CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID` is per-thread, work a node fans out that way is billed
to the TBB workers, **not** to the node.
So a node using `warpAffine`, a histogram compare or a colour conversion reads
cheaper in `cpu_s` than it really is, and the missing time appears in `stall/f`,
where it looks identical to a GPU wait. `exec/f` does capture it — the functor
does not return until the parallel region joins — so the tell is a node whose
`exec/f` far exceeds its `cpu/f` **while its output channel is empty**: that is
fan-out, not blocking.
Worth knowing for its own sake, too: 9 KPN node threads plus 19 TBB workers plus
the CUDA and NVDEC threads is heavy oversubscription on 20 cores.
The JSON carries the same data plus the run's configuration, so two runs can be
diffed directly — which is the point, when sweeping `--embed-batch`, `--fps` or
an engine precision.

## Findings The current opencv5 build's biggest gain is **flood-fill presence on a
learned scene-boundary detector**. An actor seen once inside a shot is
reported for the whole shot — but only if the shot boundaries are good. A
learned XGBoost boundary detector, scored **leave-one-out** so no film is
ever measured by a detector that trained on it, lifts per-second X-Ray
presence F1 across nine films and improves every one of them:
<div class="grid cards" markdown> | boundary source for flood-fill | presence F1 |

# How we score against X-Ray
Every number in this report, every F1 and misID count, comes from one
comparison. The comparison has a mismatch at its core that shapes nearly
every finding in this report: the ground truth is scene-level, the
pipeline's output is per-second, and the two do not mean the same thing.
This page documents that comparison once, so the findings pages can rely on
it without re-explaining it.
## What Amazon X-Ray records
X-Ray ships three tables per film: `scenes.csv` (a list of `[start, end]`
timespans), `people_in_scenes.csv` (which actors are credited in each
scene), and `people.csv` (actor identities). There is no per-frame or
per-second annotation anywhere in X-Ray. A scene might run 45 seconds, and
X-Ray records one cast list for the entire span, not "on screen from
second 12 to second 30."
To compare this against per-second predictions, `second_score.py` expands
every scene into per-second ground truth by copying the whole scene's cast
list onto every second inside it:
```python
for sn, (t0, t1) in spans.items():
cast = scene_cast.get(sn, [])
for t in range(int(t0), int(t1)):
timeline[t] = cast
```
That is the entire mechanism. If X-Ray credits five actors to a 30-second
scene, all five count as ground truth present for all 30 seconds, including
seconds where only one of them is on screen. This is not a simplification
introduced by the pipeline; it is the only reading of X-Ray's data that is
possible, because X-Ray itself does not record anything finer-grained.
## Why an offscreen name can be scored correct
A name listed under Offscreen with a correct (green) label is not the
pipeline guessing or padding its score. It is the pipeline correctly
answering the question X-Ray actually asks: is this actor part of this
scene. It answers that question using a presence window (`[start, end]`,
held open across cuts by `anneal_sec` and `extinction_sec`), which matches
X-Ray's scene-level semantics more closely than a raw per-frame detection
would.
A system that only reported "this actor is visible in this exact frame"
would score worse against X-Ray's scene-level ground truth, producing a
false negative every time the camera cuts away from a character who is
still present in the scene. Not because it is wrong about the world, but
because it would be answering a stricter, different question than the one
X-Ray's data supports. The presence-window design exists specifically to
answer X-Ray's actual question.
## What this resolves and what it does not
This resolves the semantic mismatch between a scene and an instant. It does
not resolve two other limitations, both discussed in the
[LVFace deep dive](lvface-deep-dive-2026-07.md).
**The face-vs-presence ceiling.** X-Ray credits scene membership regardless
of whether a face is ever visible: background crew, characters shot from
behind, voice-only presence. No amount of bridging recovers a face that
never appears on screen. This is a hard ceiling on recall, not a defect.
**Extinction bridging can overshoot.** The same presence-window mechanism
that correctly answers "still in this scene" during a normal cut can also
bridge across a scene boundary it has no way to detect. A hard cut into a
different scene with no faces, such as closing credits, carries the
previous scene's identities forward until the window expires. This is the
mechanism behind Downton Abbey's recall collapse, documented in the deep
dive.
## Precision, recall, and the misID weighting
Per sampled second `t`:
**TPI** (true positive instances): actors both X-Ray and the pipeline agree
are present.
**FPI** (false positive instances): actors the pipeline reports that are
not in X-Ray's cast for this second. Split into two categories:
- **FPI_incast**: the actor is in the film's cast, just not credited to
this particular scene. A timing or boundary slip.
- **FPI_misid**: the actor is not in the film's cast at all. A genuine
wrong-identity error, weighted 10x in the precision objective, because
naming someone who is not even in the film is a categorically worse
error than a few seconds of scene-boundary slop.
!!! note "Every headline `P` and `F1` is misID-weighted"
The precision reported throughout this report, and therefore the F1
derived from it, puts each `FPI_misid` into the denominator **10 times**
(`precision = TPI / (TPI + FPI_incast + 10·FPI_misid)`,
[`second_score.py`](https://REPOLINK/scripts/optimizer/second_score.py)).
This is deliberate: the whole point is to punish naming an out-of-film
actor far harder than a scene-boundary slip. But it means the `P` column
is not raw precision, and a misID-heavy film's `P` is depressed
super-linearly. `second_score.py` also emits an unweighted `precision_raw`
(always ≥ the weighted `P`); where the gap matters, The Many Saints of
Newark, weighted `P` 54.7% vs. raw 78.4%, the [LVFace deep dive](lvface-deep-dive-2026-07.md)
reports both. When comparing `P` across films, remember you are comparing a
quantity that penalizes misIDs, not just a hit rate.
**FN** (false negatives): actors X-Ray lists that the pipeline never
reports, counted only for actors who have a gallery reference embedding.
Across the 9-film benchmark, coverage of X-Ray's credited cast ranges from
20% to 79% by film (see
[the full experiment log](model-bakeoff-2026-07.md#gallery-coverage-per-film)); an
actor with no reference photo can never be recognized regardless of model
quality, and counting them as a miss would penalize gallery coverage, not
recognition accuracy.
Two further numbers are reported alongside F1:
**agreement_rate**: mean per-second Jaccard overlap
(`|Pred ∩ GT| / |Pred ∪ GT|`), partial credit. Naming 2 of 3 present actors
scores 2/3, not 0.
**exact_match_rate**: the fraction of sampled seconds where the pipeline's
named set exactly equals X-Ray's, no partial credit. Far harsher, and
dominated by recall, since any single missed actor zeroes that second.

X-Ray's scene-level semantics more closely than a raw per-frame detection
would.
A system that only reported "this actor is visible in this exact frame" - **`track_extent` (default).** A claim is exactly `[first_seen, last_seen]`

once anywhere in a shot is reported for the whole shot
`[prev_boundary, next_boundary]`. Boundaries come from TransNetV2 shot
detection when available, otherwise from the always-on histogram cut
detector (`is_cut`). This trades precision for recall against X-Ray's
scene-level granularity, and the optimizer decides per run whether it pays.
## What this resolves and what it does not Do not confuse the surviving `track_extinction_sec` with the withdrawn
scene `extinction_sec`: the former bounds how long a lost track stays
available for **re-association** (a tracking question), and never extends a

# Full experiment log
This page reports how the pipeline performs across three questions: which
embedding model is best, whether restricting the gallery to a film's
credited cast helps, and whether promoting confidently identified poses into
a per-film gallery annex helps. It also documents the replay architecture
that made testing all three questions in one pass practical, and every
caveat needed to trust the numbers.
Read [How we score against X-Ray](methodology-2026-07.md) first for what F1,
precision, recall, and misID mean in this report. All numbers below use the
per-second metric
([`scripts/optimizer/second_score.py`](https://REPOLINK/scripts/optimizer/second_score.py)).
r50 (ArcFace w600k-R50) is excluded from the detailed comparison below. Its
gallery was built with roughly 30% fewer reference images per actor than the
other three models on the identical source photos (10808 vs 15055 total
embeddings across the same 2418 actors), which confounds any direct
comparison of its scores against the others. It remains in the
[calibration curve comparison](best-model-2026-07.md#first-signal-calibration-curves),
which does not depend on the training benchmark.
## Why replay makes this affordable
Decoding video and running face detection, alignment, and embedding is the
expensive part of this pipeline. Everything downstream of that (tracking,
identity matching, scene aggregation) is cheap. KPN++'s node/network
structure means those two stages are separate components connected by
typed channels, so the expensive stage can run once per film, cache its
output, and the cheap stage can be re-run against that cache as many times
as needed with different Config values.
`scene_analyze --dump-embeddings out.h5` runs the expensive half once per
film and writes per-frame face detections and embeddings to HDF5
([`scripts/optimizer/SCHEMA.md`](https://REPOLINK/scripts/optimizer/SCHEMA.md)).
[`scripts/optimizer/replay.py`](https://REPOLINK/scripts/optimizer/replay.py)
then re-assembles the real C++ `face_tracker`, `identity_matcher`, and
`scene_tracker` nodes into a Python-driven KPN network and replays a
film's cached embeddings through them, varying `prob_threshold`,
`anneal_sec`, `extinction_sec`, and `expand_gallery` freely. No GPU
inference and no video decode happen during a replay; each one completes
in seconds. This is what makes a 512-evaluation differential-evolution
search per model, per gallery mode, per expansion setting, tractable, and
what made the full held-out validation across three models in this report
possible in one session rather than requiring three full re-encodes of the
benchmark set.
`optimize.py` runs `differential_evolution` over this replay function as its
objective, with DE-level parallelism (multiple candidate configs evaluated
concurrently, each spawning its own replay subprocesses) on top of it. The
practical ceiling on this machine's GPU was 8 concurrent replay processes;
9 silently degraded every score to 0.0% (well-formed output, wrong numbers,
not a crash), so `optimize.py` was run at `REPLAY_WORKERS=4 DE_WORKERS=2`.
## Search space
`popsize=10, maxiter=15` per combo (3 parameters, up to 512 evaluations,
usually stopping earlier on DE's convergence tolerance).
`anneal_sec`/`extinction_sec` bounds were widened from 1-30/1-15 to 1-60/1-60
partway through the sweep. r50's 4 combos finished before the widening and
used the old, narrower bounds; this is one more reason r50 is excluded from
direct comparison here.
## Training films and held-out films
9 films have dumped embeddings across all 4 models. 4 were used for
optimization:
- Café Society (62-cast)
- Lord of War (64-cast)
- Scarface (67-cast)
- Sound of Metal (14-cast)
5 were held out, never seen by any optimizer run:
- Benny & Joon
- Downton Abbey: A New Era
- Lovelace
- The Many Saints of Newark
- Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
## Gallery coverage per film
The gallery has reference embeddings for 2418 actors, but coverage of any
given film's credited cast varies widely. This was previously reported as
one flat number (67% of X-Ray cast lacking a reference embedding, averaged
across the whole benchmark); the per-film breakdown is:
| film | cast credited | in gallery | coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lord of War | 64 | 13 | 20.3% |
| Scarface | 67 | 15 | 22.4% |
| The Many Saints of Newark | 48 | 13 | 27.1% |
| Café Society | 62 | 17 | 27.4% |
| Lovelace | 42 | 15 | 35.7% |
| Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets | 36 | 13 | 36.1% |
| Benny & Joon | 23 | 12 | 52.2% |
| Downton Abbey: A New Era | 36 | 22 | 61.1% |
| Sound of Metal | 14 | 11 | 78.6% |
Two training films (Lord of War, Scarface) have the worst coverage in the
set, 20-22%. Their training-set F1 numbers below are partly capped by
missing references, not purely by model quality. Downton Abbey has 61%
coverage, the second-best in the benchmark, yet the worst held-out recall
of any film (39.4%, LVFace). Its recall problem is not primarily a coverage
problem; it is the extinction-bridging failure documented in the
[LVFace deep dive](lvface-deep-dive-2026-07.md#mechanism-1-extinction-bridging).

![All combos ranked by training-set F1](assets/images/rep4_matrix_f1.png)
The two clearest patterns: every model's best-scoring combo uses the
restricted gallery, and LVFace leads within both gallery modes. `full_exp`
(the shipped combination) is the best-scoring option that uses only
features the running application currently supports; restriction is not
wired into the application yet (see
[Whole vs. cast-restricted gallery](gallery-scope-2026-07.md)).
### A scoring bug worth recording: dropped-film evaluations
The numbers above are corrected ones. The raw `rep4_best_*.json` files, and an
earlier version of this table, reported a different `arcface_w600k_mbf_full_noexp`
row: **74.2% F1 at TPI 12645**, a third the TPI of every sibling combo. That was
not a better config; it was an artifact of how the optimizer aggregates.
`optimize.py` builds each candidate's score from only the films whose replay
subprocess returned (`per_film = [m for m in ex.map(_one, films) if m is not
None]`), then **averages** F1/precision/recall and **sums** TPI/FPI/misID over
just those survivors. When a film's replay times out (the sweep ran near the
8-process concurrency ceiling, so this happened intermittently), that film
silently drops from both. A candidate whose hardest film timed out is therefore
scored on an easier subset, and differential evolution, maximizing that score,
will happily converge onto exactly such a candidate. For `mbf_full_noexp` the
reported winner was one of 7 evaluations (out of 512) whose TPI had collapsed to
a partial-film subset; its median-coverage evaluations sit around 51686 TPI.
The fix here was to re-derive each combo's best row from its DE trajectory
(`experiments/trajectories/rep4_*.jsonl`), keeping only evaluations within 30% of
that combo's median TPI (full 4-film coverage) before taking the best F1. This
needs no re-running, the honest best configuration was already in the sweep,
just not the one `argmax F1` selected. Three combos moved: `mbf_full_noexp`
74.2% → **71.0%**, `LVFace_full_noexp` 72.4% → **72.3%** (and its misID, 0 → 244,
was itself a dropped-film artifact), `mbf_restricted_exp` 76.5% → **76.2%**. The
shipped LVFace `full_exp` winner was unaffected, its reported evaluation already
had full coverage (TPI 47757 ≈ median). `experiment_charts.py` applies the same
`clean_best` filter, so every figure on this page matches the corrected table.
The underlying `optimize.py` aggregation is also being fixed so a dropped-film
evaluation can never be selected as a winner again.
### Per-film training breakdown
The 75.3% LVFace training figure is a macro average across 4 films, not a
uniform result:
| film | LVFace F1 | mbf F1 | r18 F1 | best model |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Café Society | 68.1% | 62.2% | 60.1% | LVFace |
| Lord of War | 75.6% | 77.2% | 75.6% | mbf |
| Scarface | 71.5% | 68.6% | 64.1% | LVFace |
| Sound of Metal | 78.8% | 76.5% | 71.6% | LVFace |
LVFace does not win every training film. mbf scores higher on Lord of War
(77.2% vs 75.6%). LVFace's own training-film range is 68.1% to 78.8%, a
10.7pp spread, smaller than the 37pp spread seen on held-out films but real.
Reproduce with `scripts/docs/run_holdout_all_models.py --films training`.
## Held-out validation, all 3 models
The training matrix above is training-set fit. Each model's own tuned
`full_exp` config was replayed against the 5 held-out films, scored the
same way:
| film | LVFace F1 | mbf F1 | r18 F1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Benny & Joon | 83.0% | 78.5% | 77.1% |
| Lovelace | 77.5% | 73.7% | 72.2% |
| Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets | 74.1% | 70.2% | 71.0% |
| Downton Abbey: A New Era | 56.2% | 55.0% | 53.0% |
| The Many Saints of Newark | 46.3% | 44.5% | 42.1% |
| **macro average** | **67.4%** | **64.4%** | **63.1%** |
LVFace scores highest on every one of the 5 held-out films; the ranking
never flips. Total misIDs across the 5 films: LVFace 1032, mbf 2197, r18
1224. LVFace has less than half mbf's misID count while also scoring
higher on every film. This directly confirms the model choice out of
sample; it is not inferred from the training numbers alone. See the
[LVFace deep dive](lvface-deep-dive-2026-07.md) for frame-level detail on where and
why LVFace still fails on the two worst films. Reproduce with
`scripts/docs/run_holdout_all_models.py`.
## Two effects in isolation: gallery scope and pose expansion
Averaging across the 3 compared models (r50 excluded) isolates each variable
from model choice.
**Gallery scope**, averaged over both expansion settings and all 3 models
(6 evaluations per row):
| scope | F1 | P | R | total misID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| full | 71.1% | 89.6% | 59.6% | 1121 |
| restricted | 75.9% | 90.4% | 65.6% | 299 |
Restriction improves every metric at once. This is not a precision/recall
trade: +4.8pp F1, +6.0pp recall, and roughly a quarter the misIDs. Fewer
candidates in the matcher's search space means fewer opportunities for a
lookalike false match, and the recall gain shows this does not cost real
detections. Restriction is currently an offline optimizer technique, not a
runtime feature of the application; see
[Whole vs. cast-restricted gallery](gallery-scope-2026-07.md) for what building it
into the application would require.
**Pose expansion** (promoting a confidently identified track's novel-pose
views into a per-film gallery annex,
[`src/gallery/track_gallery.hpp`](https://REPOLINK/src/gallery/track_gallery.hpp)):
| scope | expansion | F1 | R | misID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| full | off | 70.0% | 57.6% | 407 |
| full | on | 72.1% | 61.5% | 714 |
| restricted | off | 75.1% | 63.9% | 179 |
| restricted | on | 76.7% | 67.2% | 120 |
In restricted mode, expansion is a clean win: +1.6pp F1, +3.3pp recall,
misID drops. The annex only competes against the film's own roughly 15-actor
cast, so a new pose of a known actor is unlikely to be confused with someone
else. In full mode, expansion buys +2.1pp F1 and +3.9pp recall but at a real
cost: misID rises from 407 to 714 as the same new-pose view now competes
against the full 2418-actor gallery, where a confidently learned pose is more
likely to match the wrong person. On the full gallery it is a recall-vs-misID
trade, not a free gain. This training-set effect
did not reproduce on held-out data; see
[Does pose expansion help?](pose-expansion-2026-07.md) for the full held-out test
and the two methodology bugs caught while checking it.
## Calibration curves
Each gallery carries a fitted Platt sigmoid `P(match | sim) = σ(a·sim + b)`,
stored directly in the gallery HDF5
([`src/gallery/gallery_calibration.hpp`](https://REPOLINK/src/gallery/gallery_calibration.hpp)).
This measures discriminative power independent of whatever
`prob_threshold` a given run used:
![Calibrated P(match|similarity) for all four models](assets/images/calibration_curves.png)
LVFace has the steepest curve (`a=17.7` vs 15.3-16.2 for the ArcFace
variants) and the lowest P=0.5 decision boundary (similarity 0.23 vs
0.27-0.31), separating same-actor from different-actor pairs more
confidently at a lower similarity than any ArcFace variant tested,
including r50. Generated by
[`scripts/docs/calibration_chart.py`](https://REPOLINK/scripts/docs/calibration_chart.py).
## Extinction and anneal window search
Every one of the 512 DE evaluations for the winning LVFace `full_exp`
combo, plotted over the `prob_threshold` × `extinction_sec` plane:
![DE search landscape: 512 evaluations over prob_threshold × extinction_sec](assets/images/de_search_landscape.png)
Nearly everything scoring well sits at `extinction_sec` above 50, across a
wide range of thresholds. Short extinction windows are uniformly weaker:
under a strict threshold, there is no good configuration in that region of
the search space. The optimizer converged with `anneal_sec=59.2,
extinction_sec=59.2`, about 99% of the widened 60s bound, which raises an
open question not resolved in this round: does performance keep improving
past 60s, or does it plateau there. Not chased further this pass.
## Caveats
- r50's 4 combos used the older, narrower search bounds (1-30/1-15 instead
of 1-60/1-60) and are further confounded by its thinner gallery. Excluded
from all comparisons above except calibration.
- The shipped defaults use `full_exp` (75.3% training F1), not the
higher-scoring `restricted_exp` (78.3%), because cast restriction is not
a runtime feature of the application yet.
- `expand_gallery` is mode-dependent, not a free win. Averaged across models
on the full gallery it trades misIDs for recall (see the pose-expansion
table). For LVFace specifically, though, `full_exp` beats `full_noexp` on
every axis at once (F1 75.3 vs 72.3, precision 89.7 vs 88.3, recall 65.4 vs
61.8, misID 232 vs 244), so the shipped `full_exp` is a clean choice for
this model, not an F1-vs-safety trade. (An earlier version of this page
reported `full_noexp` at 72.4% with zero misIDs and higher precision, which
made it look like the safer option; that was the dropped-film artifact
described above, not a real property of the config.)
- Switching the default model is an operational change: any gallery built
from a different model's embeddings must be rebuilt before the new
default takes effect.

and the tracker/registry to agree on **one clock** (the evidence watermark, not
wall-clock) was a correctness fix, not a tuning choice — before it, votes were
silently dropped at the reap horizon.

![All combos ranked by training-set F1](assets/images/rep4_matrix_f1.png) The two headline films — Scarface (grayscale flood *breaks* it, learned flood on a
film it never trained on takes it to 74.9%) and Downton Abbey (+37 points) — are
the strongest evidence the detector generalises. See the

The two clearest patterns: every model's best-scoring combo uses the We re-ran the ten-knob DE on top of the good boundaries to check whether the

features the running application currently supports; restriction is not boundaries, not the presence knobs, are where the win is.
wired into the application yet (see
[Whole vs. cast-restricted gallery](gallery-scope.md)).
### A scoring bug worth recording: dropped-film evaluations ## What the frames look like
The numbers above are corrected ones. The raw `rep4_best_*.json` files, and an `scripts/optimizer/dump_error_frames.py` pulls representative seconds and draws
earlier version of this table, reported a different `arcface_w600k_mbf_full_noexp` each face box against X-Ray's scene cast: **green** = true positive, **red** =
row: **74.2% F1 at TPI 12645**, a third the TPI of every sibling combo. That was false positive (a name X-Ray does not credit to this scene — the real error),
not a better config; it was an artifact of how the optimizer aggregates. **orange** = an unknown detection. Cast X-Ray lists as present but for whom no face
was detected — the structural false-negatives a face pipeline can never box — are
listed as a **blue** panel.
`optimize.py` builds each candidate's score from only the films whose replay ![A correctly identified second: green true-positive boxes](assets/images/lovelace_perfect_second.jpg)
subprocess returned (`per_film = [m for m in ex.map(_one, films) if m is not
None]`), then **averages** F1/precision/recall and **sums** TPI/FPI/misID over
just those survivors. When a film's replay times out (the sweep ran near the
8-process concurrency ceiling, so this happened intermittently), that film
silently drops from both. A candidate whose hardest film timed out is therefore
scored on an easier subset, and differential evolution, maximizing that score,
will happily converge onto exactly such a candidate. For `mbf_full_noexp` the
reported winner was one of 7 evaluations (out of 512) whose TPI had collapsed to
a partial-film subset; its median-coverage evaluations sit around 51686 TPI.
The fix here was to re-derive each combo's best row from its DE trajectory Every named frame in this documentation is regenerated against the current opencv5
(`experiments/trajectories/rep4_*.jsonl`), keeping only evaluations within 30% of pipeline by [`scripts/scene_detector/rematch_frames.py`](https://REPOLINK/scripts/scene_detector/rematch_frames.py),
that combo's median TPI (full 4-film coverage) before taking the best F1. This which auto-matches each example by film, actor, and class (TP/FP) so the images
needs no re-running, the honest best configuration was already in the sweep, never drift from the shipped behaviour. Where the current pipeline no longer makes
just not the one `argmax F1` selected. Three combos moved: `mbf_full_noexp` a July-era error — the Zooey Deschanel misID in Many Saints is the clearest case —
74.2% → **71.0%**, `LVFace_full_noexp` 72.4% → **72.3%** (and its misID, 0 → 244, the frame is dropped rather than staged, because the improvement is real.
was itself a dropped-film artifact), `mbf_restricted_exp` 76.5% → **76.2%**. The
shipped LVFace `full_exp` winner was unaffected, its reported evaluation already
had full coverage (TPI 47757 ≈ median). `experiment_charts.py` applies the same
`clean_best` filter, so every figure on this page matches the corrected table.
The underlying `optimize.py` aggregation is also being fixed so a dropped-film
evaluation can never be selected as a winner again.
### Per-film training breakdown ## The structural recall ceiling
The 75.3% LVFace training figure is a macro average across 4 films, not a Precision against X-Ray is near-perfect on identified faces; recall is capped by
uniform result: two things the pipeline cannot fix:
| film | LVFace F1 | mbf F1 | r18 F1 | best model | 1. **X-Ray credits people whose faces never appear on screen** in a scene — voice,
|---|---|---|---|---| back-of-head, or simply off-camera cast. No face pipeline can box a face that is
| Café Society | 68.1% | 62.2% | 60.1% | LVFace | not there. These are the blue-panel names.
| Lord of War | 75.6% | 77.2% | 75.6% | mbf | 2. **Gallery coverage.** A large fraction of X-Ray cast has no reference image in
| Scarface | 71.5% | 68.6% | 64.1% | LVFace | the gallery, so those actors can never be matched regardless of detection. This
| Sound of Metal | 78.8% | 76.5% | 71.6% | LVFace | is the dominant remaining recall limiter and is addressable by fetching more
reference photos, not by tuning.
LVFace does not win every training film. mbf scores higher on Lord of War Both are documented in [how we score against X-Ray](methodology.md).
(77.2% vs 75.6%). LVFace's own training-film range is 68.1% to 78.8%, a
10.7pp spread, smaller than the 37pp spread seen on held-out films but real.
Reproduce with `scripts/docs/run_holdout_all_models.py --films training`.
## Held-out validation, all 3 models ## In the pipeline
The training matrix above is training-set fit. Each model's own tuned The learned detector runs live inside `scene_analyze` as a post-EOF step (the
`full_exp` config was replayed against the 5 held-out films, scored the per-film knee needs every peak, so it can only run once the whole film is seen).

| Lovelace | 77.5% | 73.7% | 72.2% |
| Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets | 74.1% | 70.2% | 71.0% |
| Downton Abbey: A New Era | 56.2% | 55.0% | 53.0% |
| The Many Saints of Newark | 46.3% | 44.5% | 42.1% |
| **macro average** | **67.4%** | **64.4%** | **63.1%** |
LVFace scores highest on every one of the 5 held-out films; the ranking
never flips. Total misIDs across the 5 films: LVFace 1032, mbf 2197, r18
1224. LVFace has less than half mbf's misID count while also scoring
higher on every film. This directly confirms the model choice out of
sample; it is not inferred from the training numbers alone. See the
[LVFace deep dive](lvface-deep-dive.md) for frame-level detail on where and
why LVFace still fails on the two worst films. Reproduce with
`scripts/docs/run_holdout_all_models.py`.
## Two effects in isolation: gallery scope and pose expansion
Averaging across the 3 compared models (r50 excluded) isolates each variable
from model choice.
**Gallery scope**, averaged over both expansion settings and all 3 models
(6 evaluations per row):
| scope | F1 | P | R | total misID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| full | 71.1% | 89.6% | 59.6% | 1121 |
| restricted | 75.9% | 90.4% | 65.6% | 299 |
Restriction improves every metric at once. This is not a precision/recall
trade: +4.8pp F1, +6.0pp recall, and roughly a quarter the misIDs. Fewer
candidates in the matcher's search space means fewer opportunities for a
lookalike false match, and the recall gain shows this does not cost real
detections. Restriction is currently an offline optimizer technique, not a
runtime feature of the application; see
[Whole vs. cast-restricted gallery](gallery-scope.md) for what building it
into the application would require.
**Pose expansion** (promoting a confidently identified track's novel-pose
views into a per-film gallery annex,
[`src/gallery/track_gallery.hpp`](https://REPOLINK/src/gallery/track_gallery.hpp)):
| scope | expansion | F1 | R | misID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| full | off | 70.0% | 57.6% | 407 |
| full | on | 72.1% | 61.5% | 714 |
| restricted | off | 75.1% | 63.9% | 179 |
| restricted | on | 76.7% | 67.2% | 120 |
In restricted mode, expansion is a clean win: +1.6pp F1, +3.3pp recall,
misID drops. The annex only competes against the film's own roughly 15-actor
cast, so a new pose of a known actor is unlikely to be confused with someone
else. In full mode, expansion buys +2.1pp F1 and +3.9pp recall but at a real
cost: misID rises from 407 to 714 as the same new-pose view now competes
against the full 2418-actor gallery, where a confidently learned pose is more
likely to match the wrong person. On the full gallery it is a recall-vs-misID
trade, not a free gain. This training-set effect
did not reproduce on held-out data; see
[Does pose expansion help?](pose-expansion.md) for the full held-out test
and the two methodology bugs caught while checking it.
## Calibration curves
Each gallery carries a fitted Platt sigmoid `P(match | sim) = σ(a·sim + b)`,
stored directly in the gallery HDF5
([`src/gallery/gallery_calibration.hpp`](https://REPOLINK/src/gallery/gallery_calibration.hpp)).
This measures discriminative power independent of whatever
`prob_threshold` a given run used:
![Calibrated P(match|similarity) for all four models](assets/images/calibration_curves.png)
LVFace has the steepest curve (`a=17.7` vs 15.3-16.2 for the ArcFace
variants) and the lowest P=0.5 decision boundary (similarity 0.23 vs
0.27-0.31), separating same-actor from different-actor pairs more
confidently at a lower similarity than any ArcFace variant tested,
including r50. Generated by
[`scripts/docs/calibration_chart.py`](https://REPOLINK/scripts/docs/calibration_chart.py).
## Extinction and anneal window search
Every one of the 512 DE evaluations for the winning LVFace `full_exp`
combo, plotted over the `prob_threshold` × `extinction_sec` plane:
![DE search landscape: 512 evaluations over prob_threshold × extinction_sec](assets/images/de_search_landscape.png)
Nearly everything scoring well sits at `extinction_sec` above 50, across a
wide range of thresholds. Short extinction windows are uniformly weaker:
under a strict threshold, there is no good configuration in that region of
the search space. The optimizer converged with `anneal_sec=59.2,
extinction_sec=59.2`, about 99% of the widened 60s bound, which raises an
open question not resolved in this round: does performance keep improving
past 60s, or does it plateau there. Not chased further this pass.
## Caveats
- r50's 4 combos used the older, narrower search bounds (1-30/1-15 instead
of 1-60/1-60) and are further confounded by its thinner gallery. Excluded
from all comparisons above except calibration.
- The shipped defaults use `full_exp` (75.3% training F1), not the
higher-scoring `restricted_exp` (78.3%), because cast restriction is not
a runtime feature of the application yet.
- `expand_gallery` is mode-dependent, not a free win. Averaged across models
on the full gallery it trades misIDs for recall (see the pose-expansion
table). For LVFace specifically, though, `full_exp` beats `full_noexp` on
every axis at once (F1 75.3 vs 72.3, precision 89.7 vs 88.3, recall 65.4 vs
61.8, misID 232 vs 244), so the shipped `full_exp` is a clean choice for
this model, not an F1-vs-safety trade. (An earlier version of this page
reported `full_noexp` at 72.4% with zero misIDs and higher precision, which
made it look like the safer option; that was the dropped-film artifact
described above, not a real property of the config.)
- Switching the default model is an operational change: any gallery built
from a different model's embeddings must be rebuilt before the new
default takes effect.

Holes closed since, in the order they surfaced: **(a)** `FanoutNode` dropped on overflow rather than waiting, so the AR-010 scene join shed frames exactly when the dense branch fell behind — measured at **9 of 2192 items delivered** to the slower of two branches, now lossless with the fast branch throttled to within its buffering; **(b)** the residual hang, recorded as ~1 run in 20 at a 300 s timeout, was a **startup** lost wake, not a mid-stream one — `start()` enables a node's inputs several statements before it installs the push callback, and a producer firing into that gap is accepted by the ring while waking nobody, since `Channel::push` signals only the empty→non-empty edge. Signature is zero items delivered, never a partial stall. Reproduced 7 times in 24 under CPU contention and 0 in 10 without; `start()` now closes with the level-triggered `on_input_ready()`, giving 0 in 24 on the same harness — though the *cause* was narrower than recorded there and is fixed properly in **(e)**; **(c)** `FilterNode` and `RouterNode` were the last data paths still using the throwing `push()` with the exception swallowed, so a full output discarded the value — including the **EOF sentinel**. The decimator passes EOF by predicate (`if (f.eof) return true;`) but its output is reliably full, the embedder being the slowest node in the chain, so the token was discarded, nothing downstream ever shut down, and the run had to be killed. **This is the wedge.** Both now route sentinels out-of-band and retry data until taken; the regression case delivers 6 of 40 values and never sets `saw_eof` before, 40 and terminating after; **(d)** the sentinel could be delivered *ahead of* a value still queued behind it — `pop()` observed the ring empty and then took the sentinel, and a producer can push a value *and* publish the sentinel inside that window, so any consumer treating EOF as a hard stop loses the tail. `take_sentinel` now re-checks emptiness *after* observing `has_eof_`, which is sound because the sentinel is published with a release store after the ring pushes. ~1 run in 15 before, 0 in 25 after; **(e)** two `fire_once` invocations for one node could overlap, because the submit gate was released before the firing had finished touching node state. That breaks the one-slot park the whole scheme rests on — a parked value can be overwritten by the other firing, with no drop recorded anywhere. ThreadSanitizer caught it as a race on `pending_done_`; the release is now the last act of a firing. The same sweep found the callbacks themselves being written while a running neighbour read them (ten TSan races), which is the *actual* cause of the startup lost wake in **(b)** — callbacks are now installed in a `prepare()` pass before any node starts. **New constraint:** a channel carries at most **one undelivered sentinel**; a second offered before the first is taken is refused and reported, never queued and never overwritten, since two control tokens on one channel means the stream ended twice. Single-shot EOF today, live the moment a pipeline is reused for a second input. **Consequence to hold onto:** a lossless fanout makes join depth a correctness precondition — one branch can now run ahead of another only by the slower branch's buffering, so `kSceneJoinDepth` must exceed the TransNetV2 window. Making the decimator lossless also makes it a backpressure point rather than a relief valve: the source now throttles to the face branch instead of quietly thinning it. Correct under this requirement, but it changes the shape of a loaded run and is **not yet benchmarked**. **Gap:** capacity is still counted in *items*, not bytes, so a crowd frame carrying 60 crops occupies one slot exactly as an empty one does — the memory ceiling the plan asks for is unenforced |

(1) `scene_decode_fps` defaults to 0 (native): at 12 fps a 100-frame `kWindow` spanned ~8.3 s instead of the ~4 s TransNetV2 was trained on, half-speed motion over twice its temporal context. (2) The boundary dedup window is derived from the cadence the detector was actually fed (`SceneDetectorFunc::dedup_window_sec()`, median observed interval, halved) rather than the literal 0.04 s — one frame at 25 fps, and at 30 fps wider than a frame, so two cuts on consecutive frames merged into one and the loss was invisible: the file simply had fewer boundaries. Derivation checked at 24/25/30 fps and under a seek (UT-003). **Consequence, not a gap:** `scene_threshold` 0.60 was fitted against the 12 fps input and is now certainly wrong — VR-006 re-fits it, and until then boundary recall at native rate is untuned rather than better. Dense decode is the cost driver, so this is not free; `dense_scale` and `scene_stride` remain the reductions that do not run the model off-distribution. **Half-applied until now:** the derived window reached `scenes.json` and nothing else. `SceneBoundaries` — the path that actually feeds `is_scene_boundary` to the tracker — kept the literal 0.04 s under a comment claiming the two views agreed. They did not. The detector now supplies the window it derived to both |

Promotion fired on a local accepted-frame count and fell back to a local per-actor plurality whenever the registry had not yet claimed the track — which is the common case, since three accepted frames arrive well before a posterior crosses `ownership_logodds`. So in practice the plurality usually decided, and it could not see the AR-025 discounting it was supposed to defer to. Promotion now requires the registry's verdict; the accepted-frame count is an explicit evidence floor. `forget()`, which had no callers under a comment claiming the matcher called it, is replaced by `prune_dead` against the registry's own liveness |

Size is `bbox`, not duplicated into a field that would drift. No face is admitted unscored (-1 sentinel), and the degenerate-fit case is now counted and reported rather than silently dropped. **Carried, not consumed** — no discount and no threshold, which is AR-030 and VR-012. Verified UT-137, UT-138 (aligner) and UT-139…UT-141 (dump round-trip, version, sentinel).

Both blur ladders monotone, Gaussian and motion. Three properties recorded on the function for VR-012 rather than corrected here: the contrast invariance is exact in the algebra but bends at the 8-bit quantisation floor (a dim *and* soft crop reads sharper than it is — 148% high at σ 2.5), `BORDER_CONSTANT` fill from a frame-edge face adds a step edge, and the measure conflates focus with intrinsic texture.

With `--scene-detect` off, `camera_pos` sits downstream of a source already decimated to `sample_fps`, so at the 1.0 default it compares frames **one second apart** — inside a single shot those differ enormously, and 0.70 correlation is a low bar to clear. With `--scene-detect` on it sees native-rate frames instead, so the same constant means two different things depending on an unrelated flag. This is AR-011's argument ("every model gets the input it was trained for") applied to a non-neural detector, and it matters because `is_cut` drives `track_alpha` to 0 and clears every expansion buffer. Cheap first measurement: run `camera_pos` over a `hero/` clip at 1/2/5 fps and compare cut counts against `tests/fixtures/dumps/scene_bounds.json`. The committed 5 fps dump shows 2.6% of frames flagged; nobody has measured 1 fps |

Backpressure is what makes it bite — it is working, and a lossless channel converts depth into lag by design. Both nodes are 16 deep in `main.cpp`, which at the default `sample_fps` 1.0 is ~16 s of lag against a 5 s window, so `scene_analyze` can drop identity votes and until now said nothing. It now reports `dropped_votes` at shutdown; this row is the measurement that decides whether that should be fatal, and whether the right fix is bounding the depth or removing the coupling (reap on the matcher's clock rather than the tracker's, so a vote cannot be late by construction) |

not: `Config::extinction_sec` (57.4) and `Config::anneal_sec` (35.5) were still

survivors"; there were about forty.
Nothing in the tooling could have caught it. The traceability gate reads tags,
not behaviour, and a withdrawn requirement has no tag to be orphaned — the
register simply asserted a state of the code, and no test asked. The general
form is worth stating: **a status column is a claim, and the only claims this
project can check automatically are the ones a test or a static check makes.**
The same pattern produced three other rows corrected in this pass (AR-011,
AR-017, AR-019), each recorded as done and done in one place out of two.
`SceneTrackerFunc` is replaced by the stateless `FrameAnnotationFunc`. One
visible consequence: `--verbosity standard`'s `frames[].identified` used to
include every actor inside the keep-alive window, and now lists what was matched
in that frame. Minimal and xray output never consulted the node.

# The learned scene-boundary detector
Presence uses **flood-fill**: an actor seen once inside a shot is reported for the
whole shot (`[prev_boundary, next_boundary]`). That only works if the boundaries
are good. This page is the story of getting them good — a learned scene-boundary
detector that lifts per-second actor-presence F1 from **62.6% to 74.9%** across
the nine-film X-Ray benchmark, and fixes the film where naive flood-fill was
actively harmful.
That 74.9% is the **leave-one-out** figure: each film is scored by a detector
trained on the *other eight*, so no film's presence is measured with a detector
that ever saw it. It is the honest generalisation number, and it is only ~1 point
below the all-nine-trained model (75.8%) — the detector barely overfits.
## Why the old cut detector wasn't enough
The always-on boundary source was the grayscale histogram-correlation cut detector
(`camera_position_change_detector`): mark a cut when the frame-to-frame grayscale
histogram correlation drops below 0.70. It is cheap and it fires on obvious hard
cuts, but on a low-contrast, uniformly-graded film it is nearly blind. On
**Scarface** it fired **once in 10,204 frames**. Flood-fill then snapped every
actor across essentially the whole film:
| Scarface | precision | recall |
| -------- | --------- | ------ |
| flood + grayscale cuts | **26%** | 95% |
| track-extent (no flood) | 92% | 45% |
That single failure is what motivated everything below: flood-fill needs a
boundary source that works regardless of grade.
## What we are detecting, and why it is hard
The training target is **Amazon X-Ray scene boundaries** (`scenes.csv`). These are
*narrative* scenes — a new location or beat in the story — not shot cuts. There
are only ~20–60 of them per film (median scene ~170 s), and many transition
*within* continuous visual style and continuous audio. So the signal is sparse and
often genuinely faint: a boundary detector working from audio-visual features can
never recall a narrative cut that has no audio-visual signature.
This shapes every result: absolute boundary-F1 is modest by construction. What
matters is the **downstream** number — does snapping flood-fill to these
boundaries name the right actors — and there the gain is large.
## The features (what worked, measured)
Everything is per second, aligned to the 1-fps presence grid.
- **Delta histograms, not raw histograms.** The raw RGB histogram encodes what a
frame *looks like*, not that it *changed* — measured boundary separability ~1.4×.
The **symmetric histogram delta** `|hist(t+k) − hist(t−k)|` separates boundaries
**4–5×**. Leading with deltas (k = 1,2,4,8 s) and dropping the raw histogram was
the single biggest feature win (LSTM F1 7.5% → 10.8%).
- **A multi-scale "ramp" bank.** Antisymmetric matched filters at half-widths
H = 2,4,6,8,10 s; the model weights the scales. Different films' boundaries peak
at different widths.
- **A time-since-last-boundary "debounce" clock**, scaled by the corpus mean scene
length (~205 s), encoding that scenes don't restart moments apart.
- **Audio log-PSD** (per-second, 4 s window, ~57 log-frequency bins). Measured
weak on its own — a standalone audio cutter scored only 3–6% held-out F1, because
narrative boundaries usually have continuous audio — but it is complementary on
the films where video is weak (Downton, Sound of Metal), so it is included and
the model uses it where it helps.
![Detector development at strict ±2 s tolerance, and where the shipped detector landed at the ±20 s tolerance the pipeline uses](assets/images/scene_detector_evolution.png)
The left panel is the *feature* development, scored at a strict ±2 s tolerance so
each change is visible — this is where "delta beats raw histogram" was measured, not
the shipped tolerance. The right panel is the shipped detector at the ±20 s
tolerance the pipeline actually uses (see below). The two panels are on different
tolerances by design and must not be read as one curve.
Dead ends, all measured and discarded: audio-only detection; raw
histograms/PSDs as input; a two-tower BiLSTM (no better than the tree, far slower);
larger FFT windows / more frequency bins (worse — boundaries are short events);
and TransNetV2 (a Conv3D net that will not co-reside with the ROCm/VAAPI stack).
## The model
- **XGBoost regressor** over a ±3 s window of the features above, predicting a
**soft Gaussian proximity-to-boundary target** (`exp(-(d/σ)²)`, σ = 10 s).
Regression to a soft target — rather than a hard 0/1 label — stops a near-miss
from being trained as a hard negative, and yields a smooth score whose **peaks**
are the boundaries.
- **Per-film knee threshold.** The predicted peak heights form a
convex-decreasing curve; the knee (max drop below the endpoints' chord) is where
real boundaries give way to noise. Selecting at the knee **self-calibrates the
boundary count** to roughly the true scene count, per film, with no global
threshold that would be wrong for every grade.
- **Trained on all nine films** for the shipped model. Keeping the low-contrast
grades (Café Society, Scarface) in training matters most: on its own training
films the shipped model reaches **72.9% macro boundary-F1** (per-film 51–86%),
versus **29.8%** for the grayscale baseline on the same films.
Boundary detection, held out (leave-one-out, ±20 s tolerance — appropriate given
~170 s scenes): **44.1% macro F1, versus 29.8% for the grayscale baseline** — the
honest generalisation number, each film scored by a detector trained on the other
eight. Even the low-contrast grades generalise (Scarface held out 32%, Café Society
51%), where the grayscale detector scores 0% and 31%. The absolute number is capped
by the narrative-vs-audiovisual mismatch above — many boundaries have no
audio-visual signature at all — so the point is the downstream effect, below.

improves every one of the nine films — under honest leave-one-out.** Per film:
![Per-film presence F1 by boundary source](assets/images/scene_presence_by_source.png)
| film | track-extent | flood+grayscale | flood+learned (LOO) |
| ---- | -----------: | --------------: | ------------------: |
| Benny & Joon | 77.3 | 80.2 | 78.2 |
| Café Society | 59.1 | 62.2 | 69.8 |
| Downton Abbey | 41.0 | 51.8 | **78.6** |
| Lord of War | 74.8 | 77.1 | 77.8 |
| Lovelace | 70.3 | 74.0 | 78.2 |
| The Many Saints of Newark | 37.5 | 43.9 | 53.4 |
| Scarface | 62.6 | **40.9** | **74.9** |
| Sound of Metal | 75.0 | 78.1 | 86.8 |
| Valerian | 65.6 | 67.7 | 76.2 |
The two headline cases:
- **Scarface**: the grayscale-cut flood *breaks* it (62.6 → 40.9), because it
detects one cut in the whole film. The learned detector — **on a film it never
trained on** — takes it to **74.9%**. This is the strongest evidence the
detector generalises: it fixes the exact failure that motivated it, held out.
- **Downton Abbey**: 41.0 (track-extent) → 51.8 (grayscale) → **78.6** — a
+37-point swing on the hardest film.
Naive flood-fill barely beat doing nothing (64% vs 62%) and broke a film. With a
real boundary detector, flood-fill is decisively the right mode.
### What the frames look like
`scripts/optimizer/dump_error_frames.py` pulls representative seconds and draws
each face box coloured against X-Ray's scene cast: **green** = true positive (a
name X-Ray also credits to this scene), **red** = false positive (a name X-Ray
does *not* credit here — the real error), **orange** = an unknown detection. Cast
X-Ray lists as present but for whom no face was detected — the structural
false-negatives a face pipeline can never box — are listed as a **blue** panel.
![A correctly identified second: green true-positive boxes](assets/images/scarface_tp_example.jpg)
Above: three faces named correctly (green). Below: the face-vs-scene-cast tension
made visual — the one visible face is confidently named (here it is a red
false-positive, a lead X-Ray did not credit to this exact scene), while six
credited cast members are off-camera with no face to detect (blue). This is why
recall against X-Ray has a structural ceiling, not a fixable bug.
![A false-positive box (red) with off-screen cast listed (blue)](assets/images/scarface_fn_fp_example.jpg)
## In the pipeline
Boundary detection is a **post-EOF step**, like flood-fill itself: the per-film
knee needs every peak, so it can only run once the whole film is seen. The
`camera_position_change_detector` stamps a per-frame RGB histogram onto each frame;
it rides through to the result sink; at end-of-stream the sink runs the detector
over the collected histograms plus the movie's audio log-PSD and snaps the
presence windows to the result. Enable it with:
```bash
scene_analyze --movie <file> --gallery <gallery.h5> \
--scene-xgb-model models/scene_boundary_xgb.json
```
Inference is real XGBoost, built into the binary via CMake (`SAE_SCENE_XGB`); the
audio log-PSD uses FFTW + the existing FFmpeg decode. To keep training and
inference on one feature implementation, the shipped model is **trained on the
C++-extracted features** (`scene_features_dump` → `train_xgb_cpp.py`) rather than a
re-implementation in Python — parity by construction. Verified end to end through
`scene_analyze` on a movie file and through the Jellyfin work-queue worker.

"""Enforce the AR-024 invariant: never a raw cosine, always the calibration.
TRACES: AR-024 | SR-002
docs/requirements.md gives AR-024's verification tier as "Static check -- no
bare cosine outside a tagged EXCEPTION | Grep-based; this is the invariant's
enforcement". This is that check. Until it existed the invariant was enforced
by reading, and reading missed a live violation: the identity matcher's
no-calibration fallback thresholded raw cosine distance and fed `max(0, cosine)`
into the Bayesian accumulation as though it were a posterior.
WHAT IT CHECKS, precisely, because a static check that overclaims its reach is
worse than one with a stated scope:
Every call to `cosine_similarity(...)` in C++ source must either
(a) have its result consumed immediately by a calibration -- the call is
textually wrapped in `cal_(...)`, `calibrate_(...)`, `.probability(...)`
or similar; or
(b) sit under an exception comment -- the token is `EXCEPTION:` followed by
`AR-024` and a reason -- within EXCEPTION_SCOPE_LINES above it.
Note that this file deliberately never spells that token out. The traceability
extractor scans scripts/ as source, so prose here describing the tag would be
counted as recorded exceptions; four of them were, until this was noticed. The
same trap the shared config warns about for the vendored parser tests.
Anything else is a defect, per CLAUDE.md: "treat any bare cosine comparison in
the code as a defect to be fixed".
WHAT IT DOES NOT CHECK, and why you should not read a pass as more than it is:
- It cannot follow a cosine through a variable across statements. A file that
stores `float s = cosine_similarity(a, b);` and compares `s` three lines
later is not caught. The codebase does not currently do this, and this check
exists partly to keep it that way, but it is a convention backed by review,
not by the tool.
- It says nothing about GEMM output. The similarity engine returns a whole
matrix of cosines and the matcher reads them directly; that path is correct
by inspection (every value goes through `cal_.probability`) and is not
verified here.
- A retired constant reintroduced under a new name is invisible to it.
Exit status is 0 when clean, 1 when a violation is found, 2 on a usage error.

## Embedding input quality (AR-028) — and why this one bumps the version
`sharpness` and `alignment_residual` are two of the three AR-028 quality axes,
written beside the embedding they describe. **The third axis, size, is already
here**: it is `bbox`, scaled by `bbox_upscale` to reach the original resolution
AR-002 thresholds in. It is not duplicated into a third column, because that
would put the same quantity in two coordinate spaces inside one file — the trap
the `bbox_upscale` note below records — and the copy is the one that drifts.
The vector is **carried, not consumed**. Nothing in the pipeline thresholds or
discounts on it yet; VR-012 locates the knees from these columns, which is only
possible if they were recorded at inference. A study cannot recover how sharp a
face was from an embedding, any more than it can recover which model produced it.
**This is the change that bumps `schema_version` to 2**, where VR-010's
attributes did not. The rule is unchanged — a bump is for the *datasets* — and
so is the reason behind it. Readers are fine either way: `replay.py` and
`test_replay_fixtures.cpp` take these datasets by name with an existence check,
so a v1 dump still replays and loses only what it never had. The version exists
for a *consumer of the quality vector*, which otherwise cannot tell **"this
film's faces were never scored"** from **"this film's faces scored zero"** —
sharpness 0 is a real reading, meaning a featureless crop. That is the same
distinction `scene_detect` exists to make, and it is equally unrecoverable from
the arrays.
A v1 dump reports the vector as **unknown, never as a default** — `load_frames`
omits the keys rather than filling zeros, and the C++ side leaves the
`DetectedFace` fields at their -1 "unscored" sentinel. Re-dump to acquire it;
there is no migration, for the same reason GR-004 has none.
> The committed `tests/fixtures/dumps/*.h5` are v1 and carry no quality vector.
> Re-dumping needs a GPU host (`scripts/make_fixtures.sh`), so until that runs,

de_ramp.py — DE-optimise a temporal matched-filter "ramp" per modality, whose
response becomes a feature channel for the scene-boundary LSTM.
A scene boundary is where a feature series (RGB histogram, audio log-PSD) shifts
from a "before" state to an "after" state. A signed, antisymmetric ramp kernel
convolved with the series responds strongly exactly at that transition and near
zero inside a stable scene — a matched filter for a step. Its shape is not
obvious (how wide? linear or peaked? how much centre dead-zone?), so we let DE
choose it by maximising boundary separation on the training films.
Ramp kernel over lags -H..+H seconds (1 fps → 1 sample/s):
w(l) = sign(l) * (|l| / H) ** gamma for |l| >= dead, else 0
params: H (half-width), gamma (shape), dead (centre dead-zone)
Response at t = || sum_l w(l) * feat[t+l] || (L2 over feature bins)
DE objective: boundary-detection F1 of a top-percentile threshold on the response,
macro-averaged over the training films (±2 s tolerance). The tuned (H, gamma,
dead) is saved; train_scene_boundary.py appends the ramp response as an input

density_floor.py — synthesise scene boundaries when detection is starved.
Flood-fill presence snaps each actor claim to the shot it sits in, so a film
whose boundary detector fires almost nothing (Scarface: 1 cut in 171 min) floods

boundary density is far below what a working detector should produce, fill the
long gaps between real detections with uniformly-spaced synthetic boundaries so no
flood-fill span can exceed ~1/target-density.
Design points (measured on the X-Ray corpus):
- The target density is a PRIOR from the central 60 min of films (avoids credits/
intro/outro skew): median ~0.35 scenes/min.
- The trigger is detected-vs-prior, not prior-vs-anything: only fire when detected
density < TRIGGER_FRAC × prior. Legitimately sparse films (long-scene ensembles
like Downton/Many Saints) detect fine and are left alone.

"""
extract_audio_features.py — per-second audio features for scene-boundary detection.
Audio is often a stronger scene-boundary cue than video: music swells, silence,
and ambience changes at narrative scene transitions — exactly the coarse
boundaries Amazon X-Ray marks, and exactly what the grayscale video cut detector
misses on low-contrast films. This extracts a small per-second feature series per
film, aligned to the 1 fps timeline the embedding dumps use, so it can be fused
with the RGB-histogram features in train_scene_boundary.py.
Two-tower design: this is the AUDIO tower's input, mirroring the video tower's
per-second RGB histogram. Because the scene model is an LSTM (temporal context
comes from the recurrence, not a 2D spectrogram), each second needs only a single
log-PSD vector — one FFT over a WIN_SEC window centred on that second. The LSTM
sees the sequence of per-second PSDs and learns the boundary dynamics itself.
Per second t:
- log-PSD over [t-WIN/2, t+WIN/2], N_BINS log-spaced frequency bins, L1-norm'd
then log1p — the spectral shape (music vs speech vs silence vs ambience),
which changes at scene transitions.
No new dependency: ffmpeg (CLI) decodes the whole track to mono 16 kHz WAV;
numpy does the FFT.
Writes <out_dir>/<slug>.npz with `ts` (second grid) and `feat` [T, N_BINS].

"""
train_scene_boundary.py — learn a scene-boundary detector from per-frame RGB
histograms (video tower) and per-second audio log-PSD (audio tower), against
Amazon X-Ray scene boundaries.
Motivation: the shipped grayscale histogram-correlation cut detector is blind on
low-contrast grades — on Scarface it fired ONCE in 10,204 frames, so flood-fill
presence (which snaps to detected boundaries) floods every actor across the whole
film (P=26%). X-Ray ships real scene boundaries (scenes.csv); the dumps carry a
per-frame RGB histogram (frames/rgb_hist), and extract_audio_features.py provides
a per-second audio log-PSD. This learns a per-second boundary probability.
TWO-TOWER, ABLATABLE. We do NOT assume audio helps video — we measure it. Each
modality has its own encoder+BiLSTM; --modality selects video / audio / fused
(both towers concatenated before a shared head). The script reports all three
arms on the held-out films so the ablation decides whether audio supports video.
Video features per second: rgb_hist (96) + L1 deltas to t-1,t-2,t+1 + per-channel
correlation to t-1. Audio features: the log-PSD row (+ its L1 delta to t-1).
Label: 1 if an X-Ray scene starts within ±TOL_SEC of t.

train_xgb_boundary.py — SHIPPED scene-boundary detector.
An XGBoost regressor over a ±WIN-second window of delta features predicts a soft
Gaussian proximity-to-boundary target; a per-film KNEE threshold on the predicted
peak heights selects the boundaries (self-calibrates the count without a magic
rate). Evaluated with NMS + P/R/F1 at ±20 s tolerance (X-Ray scenes are ~170 s,
so ±20 s placement is what flood-fill actually needs).
Why this shape (all measured, see docs/scene-detector):
- DELTA features, not raw histogram/PSD: the raw content dilutes; |Δ| separates
boundaries 4-5x. Audio is weak but included (XGBoost ignores what it can't use).
- SOFT target exp(-(d/σ)²), σ=10s: a near-miss is trained as near-correct, not a
hard negative. Regression → smooth score surface → NMS peaks.
- KNEE threshold per film: peak-height curve has a knee where real boundaries
give way to noise; picking it matches the true scene count without a global
threshold that's wrong for every grade.
- Café Society + Scarface (low-contrast grades) MUST be in training; held out,
the model can't generalize to them. The shipped model trains on ALL 9.
Honest generalization: leave-one-out CV ≈ 26% F1 @±10s / ~34% @±20s. The shipped
all-9 model is what deployment uses (max grade coverage); LOO is the number to
quote for a brand-new film.

train_xgb_cpp.py — train the scene-boundary XGBoost on the C++-EXTRACTED feature
matrices (experiments/dumps/cpp_features/<slug>.h5, written by scene_features_dump).
This is the parity-by-construction path: the model is fit on exactly the features
the C++ XGBSceneBoundary produces at inference, so C++ boundaries match by
construction — no numpy-vs-C++ feature drift to chase. Same soft Gaussian target,
knee threshold, and ±20s eval as train_xgb_boundary.py.
Usage (train all 9 + save shipped model):

///
/// Pipeline throughput benchmark — how much of a run is spent in each node.
///
/// The KPN network already counts most of what an optimiser needs, and
/// `print_diagnostics()` throws nearly all of it away: it prints frames and
/// `ema` per node, and passes `elapsed_s = 0`, which zeroes throughput. Two
/// things had to change before "time per node" could be answered honestly.
///
/// **`ema` is not a total.** It is an exponentially weighted average, so
/// `frames * ema` tracks the end of the run rather than the whole of it. On a
/// film that is a real difference — a detector costs one thing in a crowd scene
/// and another over a landscape. `NodeStats::total_exec_us` (added alongside
/// this) is the true sum.
///
/// **Wall time inside a node is not all work.** `PoolObjectNode::fire_once`
/// times the functor *and* `push_outputs`, and `push_outputs` parks on a full
/// downstream channel (AR-004). A node that is merely backpressured therefore
/// bills the time it spent waiting to whoever is ahead of it: SuperHero's
/// `frame_source` reported 141.9 ms/frame against a decoder logging 12-18 ms.
/// Optimising against that number means optimising the fastest node in the
/// graph.
///
/// So each node is reported three ways, and the three together are what
/// identify a cost:
///
/// - `exec_ms` — cumulative wall time in the node, work *and* parked pushes
/// - `cpu_ms` — thread CPU time (CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID). Backpressure
/// cannot inflate it, because a parked node holds no thread.
/// - `pressure` — mean fill of its input channels minus that of its outputs
///
/// **`cpu_ms` cannot tell real work from a spinning GPU wait.** CUDA's default
/// sync policy (`cudaDeviceScheduleAuto`) spin-waits before yielding, so
/// `cudaStreamSynchronize` burns the calling thread's CPU while the GPU works.
/// A node that is purely GPU-bound can therefore report a high `cpu_ms` and read
/// as CPU-bound. `cudaSetDeviceFlags(cudaDeviceScheduleBlockingSync)` settles it
/// in one line: if a node's `cpu_ms` collapses under blocking sync, that CPU was
/// spin, not work.
///
/// **`cpu_ms` counts one thread only.** `CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID` is per-thread,
/// and OpenCV here is built against TBB, so any node whose functor goes through
/// `cv::parallel_for_` (histogram compare, `warpAffine`, colour conversion) has
/// that work executed on TBB's arena — 19 workers on a 20-core box — and billed
/// to those threads rather than to the node. Such a node reads *cheaper* than it
/// is, and the difference shows up in `stall/f` instead, indistinguishable from a
/// GPU wait. `exec_ms` does capture it, since the functor does not return until
/// the parallel region joins: a node where `exec/f` greatly exceeds `cpu/f`
/// while its output channel is empty is fanning out, not waiting.
///
/// Work piles up *in front of* a bottleneck and starves everything *after* it,
/// so `pressure` is maximal at the node setting the pace. `cpu_ms` then says
/// which repair applies: high pressure with a saturated thread is CPU-bound and
/// the work must get cheaper, while high pressure with an idle thread is
/// waiting on a device, where batch size and engine precision are the knobs.
///
/// Occupancy has to be sampled during the run. `current_fill` is instantaneous
/// and every channel has drained by the time the network stops, so a single
/// read at the end reports an idle pipeline however congested it was.
///
/// Nothing here is specific to this pipeline's topology: the node graph is
/// recovered from KPN's channel names, so it keeps working when the graph
/// changes.

// sharpness = Var(∇²I) / Var(I)
//
// Two normalisations, each removing a quantity that would otherwise be read as
// blur:
//
// - **Divided by the image variance, so contrast cannot leak in.** Scaling
// intensity by α scales the Laplacian by α too, so both variances scale by α²
// and the ratio is unchanged. A raw Var(∇²I) — the textbook measure — instead
// falls with exposure, so a dim scene reads as soft and a graded-up one as
// sharp. VR-012 has to locate one knee across films whose grading differs by
// more than their focus does; an uncalibrated measure would put the knee in a
// different place per film, which is the AR-024 failure in another metric.
// - **Measured on the aligned crop, so size cannot leak in.** The destination
// frame is fixed at 112×112 (AR-002 owns size, and double-counting it here
// would make every small face read as blurred). What the ratio reports is the
// detail actually present in the embedder's input — so a small sharp face can
// and does outscore a large soft one. That is the claim; it is *not* a claim
// of invariance to source resolution, because a 40 px face warped up to 112
// genuinely carries less detail, and hiding that would defeat the point.
//
// Frequency-domain reading of why the blur ladder is monotone: with
// Var(∇²I) = ∫|ω|⁴|F(ω)|² and Var(I) = ∫|F(ω)|², the ratio is E[|ω|⁴] under the
// image's own spectral measure. Gaussian blur multiplies that measure by
// e^{-σ²|ω|²}, concentrating it at low |ω|, so the expectation falls strictly
// with σ. It is a property of the construction, not a fitted behaviour.
//
// **Three known hazards, for VR-012 to check rather than for a threshold to
// absorb.** All are recorded here because they are properties of the measure,
// visible in the dumped distribution, and neither should be papered over by a
// correction chosen before that distribution has been looked at.
//
// 1. **Border fill.** `align_face` warps with BORDER_CONSTANT, so a face
// crossing the frame edge brings a hard black step into the crop, and a
// step edge is high-frequency. The normalisation blunts it — the fill
// inflates Var(I) as well as Var(∇²I) — but does not remove it, so
// heavily-cropped faces may read sharper than they are. The fix is either a
// validity mask or a different border mode, and the second changes what the
// embedder is fed (AR-011).
//
// 2. **The contrast invariance is exact in the algebra and approximate in
// 8 bits.** Scaling I by α cancels exactly; what does not cancel is the
// quantisation floor of a stored crop, which is broadband and so lands in
// the numerator. It matters only where there is little signal left to
// compete with it: on the AR-029 test texture a half-contrast copy reads
// 0.9% high when sharp, 24% high at sigma 1.2 and 148% high at sigma 2.5.
// A crop that is both **dim and soft therefore reads sharper than it is** —
// the low corner of the axis, and the corner VR-012 must put a knee in.
//
// 3. **It reports where the energy sits, not how much there is.** A crop whose
// energy is *already* concentrated at high frequency — dense film grain,
// a face against foliage — loses numerator and denominator together under
// blur, so the ratio moves less than the damage does. Measured on a
// flat-spectrum synthetic, an anisotropic (motion) smear even makes it rise,
// because the surviving perpendicular detail really is as fine as before.
// Natural crops have the low-frequency mass that keeps the denominator
// steady, and on those both ladders fall (see the AR-029 tests, which use a
// 1/f texture for exactly this reason). The same property means the axis
// conflates focus with intrinsic texture — a bearded face outscores a smooth
// one at equal focus — which is true of every no-reference sharpness measure
// and is why AR-028 carries the number instead of thresholding on it.

// 1. It did not compile. `add_face_tracker` built `FaceTrackerFunc` from a

// calibration since AR-007/AR-008 moved association into probability
// space. Any .so in a stale build/ predates that.
//
// 2. Presence was rebuilt in Python. `replay.py::build_minimal` merged
// per-frame detections into windows by annealing gaps — which is what the
// pipeline did before AR-012. The sink now builds a window from a
// TrackRegistry claim: the extent of a track an actor owned, starting when
// they appeared rather than when recognition first succeeded. Those answer
// different questions, so every sweep was tuning against a contract the
// shipped code had stopped honouring.
//
// Both had the same root cause, which is why this is one binding and not three.
// The chain has a construction ORDER — the matcher fits the calibration, the
// registry needs a discounter built from it, the tracker needs both, and the
// sink needs the registry's claims — and a factory-per-node API cannot express
// it. `add_pipeline` mirrors main.cpp exactly and is the only way to build the
