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docs/requirements.md meanwhile recorded both constants as Withdrawn and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.

"""
optimize.py — Differential Evolution over pipeline thresholds, scored against X-Ray.
Replaces the coarse grid sweep with scipy's differential_evolution over the
continuous knob space. Each candidate config is a full-9-film replay (real KPN
nodes) scored against Amazon X-Ray presence, micro-averaged. The gallery is loaded
once per process (binding caches by path), so an evaluation is just N cheap replays.
Objective: **maximize micro-F1** (DE minimizes, so we return -F1). NOTE: X-Ray recall
is a face-vs-cast-in-scene ceiling (see [[xray-validation-results]]), so unconstrained
F1 tends to push prob_threshold DOWN to recover unreachable recall — trading real
precision for it. We therefore log precision/recall at every evaluation and print
them at the optimum so the trade-off is visible and you can pick another operating
point from the trajectory (--trajectory).
Usage:
python scripts/optimizer/optimize.py --manifest films.json \
--gallery gallery_arcface_w600k_r50.json \
--params prob_threshold:0.5:0.999 anneal_sec:1:30 track_alpha:0:1 \
--popsize 20 --maxiter 25 --trajectory traj.json

Each film's replay runs in a subprocess (timeout-guarded) to survive the

survivors — a partial-coverage eval must never look better than a complete
one, or DE will converge onto configs that make the hardest film time out.
(An earlier version averaged over survivors, which silently rewarded
truncation; the rep4 `mbf_full_noexp` winner was one such corrupted eval.)
UNIFORM PER-SECOND scoring (second_score.py): every second of the film is sampled;
GT(t) = the cast of the X-Ray scene containing t, Pred(t) = actors whose presence
window covers t. Counts instances — TPI / FPI / FN — with FPI weighted 10× when the
named actor isn't in the film's cast at all (a real misID vs a timing slip). FN
counts only gallery-known actors (fair recall). Reports agreement_rate = mean
per-second Jaccard (the "% of on-screen actors we agree with X-Ray about, over
time"). Objective = macro-mean across films of the per-second weighted F1.
expand_gallery: controlled by env SAE_EXPAND (default on). Set SAE_EXPAND=0 to run
the no-expansion arm — the overnight matrix tests both to quantify what expansion buys.
