The Thor/Micromate (series-4) IDFW binary carries the sensor self-check in its
fixed-header region (before the waveform body), as up to four records tagged
01 0e 3c/3d/3e/3f — the SAME channel ids as series-3 (Tran/Vert/Long/MicL).
Unlike series-3's delta-coded trailing block, series-4 stores each trace as a
raw int16-BE array after an 18-byte record header (2-byte sample count at
offset +8). Three-channel (mic-disabled) units carry only 3c/3d/3e.
New micromate/sensor_check.py: decode_idf_sensor_check(raw) locates the record
chain (id-ordered marker run, so a stray body match can't chain) and reads each
trace's int16 samples → {Tran,Vert,Long[,MicL]: [counts]}, or {} when absent.
Reverse-engineered + validated against 4 UM oracle events (added as fixtures):
clean geophone ring-downs on all, mic pulse trains on the 4-channel units,
correctly no MicL on the two 3-channel units. Validated by shape + cross-event
consistency (no Thor report strip to exact-match, unlike series-3's BW reports).

The Blastware Event Report draws a "Sensor Check" strip on the right of the
waveform panel — the little traces the unit records when it pulses each sensor
before monitoring. Those live in the series-3 binary's trailing block, after
the main waveform record-chain and the per-channel calibration records, as four
length-prefixed records tagged 0x3c-0x3f (Tran/Vert/Long geophone ring-downs +
MicL pulse train). Reverse-engineered against 7 BE12844 oracle events.
New minimateplus/sensor_check.py: decode_sensor_check(raw) locates the record
chain (validated by walking the ids 0x3c->0x3f via their length prefixes) and
decodes each record's delta stream (payload[20:len-8]) with the same 10/20/30/00
delta-block tags as the main waveform codec, from an anchor of 0. Returns
{Tran,Vert,Long,MicL: [samples]} in raw 16-count units, or {} when absent.
Validated: mic pulse-train zero-crossing frequency = 20.1 Hz (exact match to
BW's mic Channel Test freq); geophone ring-downs are consistent ~-990 raw
deflections that damp to a ~-310 settle across all 7 events (a fixed
calibration pulse, so near-identical every run).

sfm/compliance.py renders the velocity-vs-frequency blasting compliance chart
Blastware draws on its Event Report:
- limit_at()/limit_curve() — the RI8507 Fig B-1 / 30 CFR 816.67 curve as data
(Drywall 0.75 + plaster 0.50 lines): 0.030in low-freq bound, plateau, 0.008in
rising diagonal to a 2.0 in/s cap at ~40 Hz, drawn continuous.
- channel_compliance_points() — the per-cycle (freq, peak-velocity) scatter by
the zero-crossing method (matches Blastware; cloud ceiling = channel PPV).
- draw_compliance_chart() — matplotlib rendering (both lines + scatter, BW tick
scales + channel markers).
Verified against 7 BE12844 Blastware reports. docs/ri8507_compliance_curve.md
captures the curve construction, the SHM basis, and the scatter method.
Not yet wired into report_pdf.py — that placeholder is the next step.

channel_spectrum(samples, sps) → the single-sided amplitude spectrum Blastware's
FFT Report draws, and dominant_frequency() picks its peak in the 2–250 Hz band.
Reverse-engineered against 7 BE12844 (MiniMate Plus) events with Blastware FFT
reports as ground truth. Recipe: DC-remove, NO window (a window smears the peak
and worsens the match), zero-pad to 4096 (→ 0.25 Hz bins at 1024 sps — the
resolution every reported dominant frequency lands on), single-sided 2/N
amplitude. Reproduces Blastware's dominant frequency to the exact bin on all
28 channels and the amplitude to report precision.
This is the missing piece for both the USBM RI8507 compliance chart (its scatter
is these (freq, amp) points vs the limit curve) and the FFT view.
Pure numpy, series-agnostic (feed it in/s samples from either decoder). The 7
events land in tests/fixtures as the oracle (force-added past the fixtures
gitignore, matching 5-11-26 / decode-re-5-8-26).

annotate_blastware_binary(raw) → a gap-free tiling of labelled Spans
(header / STRT / per-channel sample records / footer / unknown) for a hex
viewer to paint. Every byte is covered; anything the decoder can't account
for is a first-class `unknown` span, so undecoded regions stand out.
Composes the existing waveform_codec.walk_records over the body between the
STRT record and the 26-byte footer. On the cracking fixtures this already
surfaces a ~1700-byte undecoded trailing region (stream-end marker + serial +
…) per file — a candidate home for stored spectral/FFT data.
TDD: tests assert the spans tile the whole file, STRT is located, the geo
sample records are labelled, and the footer is last.

data_block_len() rejected any `40 NN` block with NN > 0x08. That guard had
no evidence behind it: every corpus available when it was written used only
NN in {1,2,3,4,8}, so it was never exercised. Loud UM12947 events use NN of
12, 16, 20 ... up to 196.
Because walk_body/run stop at the first unrecognised tag rather than
raising, rejecting those blocks surfaced as silently short channels -- e.g.
Tran 1812 / Vert 2132 / Long 2324 on a file whose export carries 2324 for
all three. The real bound is the buffer; the caller additionally clamps to
the record end.
Verified against Thor's own CSV exports for UM12947 (2025-07-14 .. 09-25,
167 waveforms, supplied as CSV.zip):
length mismatches 22 -> 0
per-sample exact 1,476,242 / 1,476,249
These are NOT truncated recordings, which was the competing hypothesis --
the exports carry the full sample count.
tests/test_waveform_codec.py asserted the cap as intended behaviour. That
assertion encoded an assumption, not a verified fact, and is replaced with
one pinning the opposite plus the evidence.
Across all three ground-truth corpora: 459 waveform files,
3,807,158 / 3,807,165 samples exact. Production IDFW is now 575/575 with
zero truncations and zero decode failures (median PPV error -0.0007% across
8 units). Series-3 re-verified unchanged at 14,338/14,338.
The 7 residual samples each differ by one 4th-decimal tick and are Thor's
own rounding: intersecting the per-sample rounding constraints over that
corpus is infeasible (binding pair contradict by 2.3e-11, 7e-5 relative),
so no single linear LSB reproduces every printed value. _GEO_LSB_IPS is
already pinned to ~1e-11; do not retune it to chase these.

Verified against a second Thor corpus (9-10-26-csv-req: UM11402, UM12947,
UM20147) with per-sample CSV exports: 139/139 waveforms exact
(1,273,380/1,273,380 samples) and 877/877 histograms within 2% of Thor's
reported PPV -- up from 66.9% and 56.6%.
Some units run with the microphone disabled, which changes two structural
things that were both hardcoded to the 4-channel shape:
- Waveform body head sat below the scan floor. A 3-channel unit has a
shorter fixed header and puts its record chain head at 0x0dba, under the
old _BODY_SCAN_FLOOR of 0x0E00. The scan could not see it and fell
through to the Vert segment-0 record, decoding a body shifted one
position around the channel rotation -- Vert came up exactly 512 samples
short. Floor lowered to 0x0C00. The body-offset scoring also had to stop
requiring four channels, or `equal` is permanently False for these events
and the pick falls back to raw sample count.
- Histogram interval record is 56 bytes, not 72. It is
16 * n_channels + 8, and is not inferable from the segment length alone.
The interval count now comes from the segment's cumulative counter
(n = counter - prev_counter) and the stride is derived from it. Assuming
72 read 7 intervals out of every 10-interval segment, then walked off
alignment into garbage that decoded as ~10 in/s peaks -- inflating some
files' PPV by up to 191,000%. Also recovers 4 files that previously
decoded no intervals at all.
Combined across both corpora: 292/292 waveform files,
2,330,916/2,330,916 samples exact. Production IDFW truncations 41 -> 22.
Series-3 unaffected (no shared-codec change in this commit; last full run
14,338/14,338).
Known open, diagnosed but NOT verified: the remaining 22 unequal + 1 failing
production IDFW files (all UM12947, 2025-07-14..09-23) stop the block walker
on tag 40 0c. data_block_len() caps the 40 NN int16 block at NN > 0x08 while
those files use NN up to 196. Both verified corpora only ever use
NN in {1,2,3,4,8}, so the cap is untested there and lifting it leaves both at
100.000% -- which is not evidence it decodes these correctly. Deliberately
not shipped; needs Thor CSV exports for UM12947 in that date range.

Verified against Thor's own CSV exports, which carry a per-sample
four-column block beside every binary (CSV/<name>.IDFW.csv). Those 1,012
paired files were in the corpus all along; the decoder had been pinned to
a superseded walker on the stated grounds that "Thor has no ASCII ground
truth in the corpus and its geo scaling is separately suspect". Both
premises were false.
IDFW per-sample exact 39.1% -> 100.000% (1,057,536/1,057,536)
IDFW files fully exact 0/153 -> 153/153
IDFW PPV median error -3.32% -> -0.002%
IDFH within 2% of Thor PPV 51.1% -> 100.0% (858/858)
prod IDFW, 8 units -3.3% -> -0.001%
Four independent root causes:
- Geo LSB was 0.0003, the 4-dp *display rounding* of the real
0.000310308 mistaken for the LSB, so every series-4 geophone sample
read 3.3% low. Pinned to +-6e-11 by intersecting 991,415 rounding
constraints; corroborated by the +-full-scale seed (+-32226) left in
unwritten IDFH slots. IDFH had a separate, also wrong, 10.0/32768.
- IDFH histograms were capped at 250 intervals: the segment validator
required the interval counter's high byte to be zero, but the counter
is a uint16 cumulative index, so every segment past interval 255 was
rejected. Runs over ~4 hours lost their tail, often the peak.
540/858 corpus files affected.
- Record mode 00 00 (raw int16, 10-byte header) was unhandled and fell
through the dispatch, silently dropping each channel's first 512
samples -- the long-standing "loud events truncate" symptom.
MODE_ABSOLUTE is now also accepted as a segment-0 preamble.
- The body-offset search matched 00 02 00 *inside* record headers,
selecting a candidate part-way down the chain and decoding a
rotation-shifted body. It now anchors on record headers and takes the
chain head (6 ms/file).
Also fixes the separately tracked "UM-series decodes ~1000x low" bug.
Series-3 re-verified unchanged at 14,338/14,338 exact after the shared
waveform_codec change.
Known open: 41/575 prod IDFW files (7%, mostly UM12947/UM20147) decode
with unequal channel lengths and also fail metadata extraction -- a
different header variant with no Thor export in the store.
NOTE: this is a codec change; the Thor store owes a regeneration via
scripts/backfill_thor_events.py.

The event-report waveform plot scaled each geo lane to its own peak, so a small
channel filled its lane looking as big as a large one — and the "Geo: X in/s/div"
footer only reflected whichever channel was checked first, so its div value was
wrong for the other two. Now all three geo lanes share ONE symmetric scale =
max |sample| across them (padded, 0.05 in/s floor), matching the event modal and
BW's single amp/div; the footer reflects that shared scale. Mic keeps its own psi
scale. Big events are unchanged (e.g. BE12844 stays 0.185 in/s/div).

The BW filename encodes only the serial NUMBER — `<letter><3 digits>`, so
`L895…` is 10895 and nothing more. The two-letter family prefix is not in it:
"BE" is a MiniMate Plus, "BA" a BlastMate. Both are Series III and their
files are byte-identical in every way that matters — all 1,493 BlastMate
binaries in the DL2 archive decode through the existing codec at 100%, same
four channels — so the serial string was the only thing standing between SFM
and BlastMate support.
Two sites synthesised the prefix and got it wrong:
- waveform_store `_serial_from_bw_filename` returned f"BE{num}" on import, so
a BlastMate event was filed under a unit that does not exist, silently, and
Terra-View read it straight through. Split into
`_serial_number_from_bw_filename` (the number, which the filename really
does carry) and a new `_serial_from_bw_bytes` that reads the serial out of
the body and accepts it only when its numeric part agrees with the
filename. save_imported_bw now prefers hint -> body -> filename guess.
Verified against real archive bytes for BA9229, BA10060, BA10895, BA15957
and BE9558/BE11529/BE18003.
- client `_decode_0a_partial_header` searched for a literal b"BE" in the
monitor-log partial record. On a BlastMate that returns -1 and skips the
whole block, so the geo threshold went missing along with the serial. Now
matches any two-letter prefix, and requires the NUL terminator — stricter
than the bare two-byte search it replaces.
Nothing to migrate: no BlastMate events are in prod. The archive's BA units
last recorded 2018-10 (BA9229, BA15957), 2023-08 (BA10895) and 2023-11
(BA10060), and the prod backfill only reaches back to ~May 2025.
21 tests. Suite: 309 passed, same 16 pre-existing failures as at HEAD
(15 missing ASCII fixtures + one peak_values assertion, all untouched here).

A reason records *why* an event is a false trigger. It is optional (plain
FT flags still record no reason) and is a subtype of the FT flag: setting a
reason implies false_trigger=1, and the reason is cleared whenever FT ends
up 0 (confirm-real, clear-FT, set_false_trigger(false)). Twin propagation
carries the reason to the histogram/waveform twin alongside the FT flag.

counts (0.025 in/s) AND flat across pre/mid/end thirds (spread <= 0.02); a
transient moves one third and is rejected by the spread test.
- shape_metrics: offset_from_samples / offset_from_h5 (reads .h5 samples +

- ingest: computed at all three waveform_store save paths alongside shape
- backfill_event_shape: also computes + stores (and stale-clears) offset

terra-view's SFM Admin page (/admin/sfm) displays whatever /health returns for

0.1.0 while the service was actually 0.26.0. Point both /health and the FastAPI

detect_multi_interval_stride() confirmed a candidate stride on a third block
header whenever the body was long enough to contain one. But a body can exceed
two strides and still hold only two real blocks: a partial final block leaves
trailing padding. BE18193 T193L0XM.CI0H — 51 intervals at 2 s, i.e. one full
30-interval block plus a 21-interval remainder in a 2787-byte body — had every
decisive check pass at stride 612 (header at 0, header at 612, block counter
256 -> 257) and was then rejected for the absent third header at 1224. It
decoded to nothing.
A missing third header now means end-of-stream rather than disqualification.
The block-counter check is untouched — that is the test that prevents the
false positives which once handed 9,082 standard-block files to the
multi-interval walker.
Found by running the full DL2 archive against its preserved Blastware ASCII
exports (14,340 paired files, 11x the previous ground-truth corpus).
Measured over 127,035 archive histogram binaries:
recovered 8 files (strides 92, 252, 612; BE18193, BE18191, BE9557, BE9440)
regressed 0 files
Full-corpus verification: 14,337 -> 14,338 exact of 14,338 decodable pairs

A real trigger is recorded twice — as a triggered waveform (stamped at the
trigger instant) and inside the scheduled histogram whose interval contains it
(stamped at the 7am/7pm interval start). The two twins routinely differ by
HOURS, so the old ±5-minute window in find_twins silently missed them — which
broke review propagation (flagging one twin left its twin unflagged).
Twins are now matched by: same serial + identical peak_vector_sum + OPPOSITE
record type + the waveform's timestamp falling within the histogram's interval
(bounded by the next same-serial histogram). Matching keys off record timestamps
(not call-in/received times, which drift with field connectivity). window_seconds
is retained but ignored.
Rewrote test_find_twins + test_twin_propagation for the new contract (incl. the
75-min-apart UM12947 case, cross-type exclusion, containing-interval selection,
open-ended latest interval). Full suite: 264 passed; the 16 failures are
pre-existing (missing gitignored fixtures + a v0.26.0 codec case), unchanged

Swept every series-3 binary with the live decoder against five
independent checks: decode exceptions, zero samples, unequal geo channel
lengths, peaks above range full scale, decoded peak vs device-reported
PPV, and waveform length vs declared record time.
1. block[22] is NOT a constant and must not be tested. Documented as
always 0x00, it carries data on loud blocks, and rejecting those threw
away the interval holding the event peak. BE18350/T350L7HR.NL0H
block 92 has block[22]=0x26 and a Tran peak of 0x0563 = 1379 counts =
6.895 in/s — exactly the device-reported PPV — while the file decoded
to 0.015 in/s. block[0]==0, block[4]==0x0A and the 4-byte tail are
six bytes of constraint, which is what keeps trailer content out.
2. Block-model dispatch now goes on signature strength rather than on
whichever decoder returns first. A multi-interval body also yields
scattered standard-tail blocks by coincidence, so "first non-empty"
handed 193 BE18193 files to the standard walker and produced peaks of
149 in/s against a 10 in/s full scale.
3. Multi-interval stride detection requires the block counter to
increment by exactly 1. Without it the detector false-positives on
ordinary standard-block bodies: they carry a header every 32 bytes,
and 192 = 12 + 20*9 and 512 = 12 + 20*25 are both multiples of 32, so
a stride "fits" while skipping 6 or 16 real blocks. That misrouted
9,082 files.
Partial-block garbage is trimmed within the final block only, stopping
at the first slot with a non-zero tail word or a geo peak above full
scale (2000 counts in 16-count units). Trimming purely from the end
left garbage stranded behind a slot that happened to have a zero tail
word; trimming on the tail word alone truncated four BE9440 files by up
to 2,800 intervals.
Result: 11,603 / 11,603 series-3 binaries clean on every check.
Ground truth unchanged: 1211/1211 histograms exact per-interval, 75/75
waveform sample counts exact (73/75 fully exact, the 2 differ by 1 LSB
on rail samples), and the multi-interval fixture still matches its BW
ASCII export on all 45,680 values.
Tests: 259 passed, failure list unchanged from baseline.

Sub-minute histogram intervals are packed several to a block so that
every block still covers exactly one minute of data:
interval intervals/block stride
1 minute 1 32 <- the standard big-endian block
15 s 4 92
2 s 30 612
stride = 12 + n * 20
Block = [00][segment][ctr uint16 LE][0a][00], then n x 20-byte records of
8 x uint16 LITTLE-endian values (T_peak, T_halfp, V_peak, V_halfp,
L_peak, L_halfp, M_peak, M_halfp) plus a 2-word tail whose first word is
0000 on every real interval, then a 6-byte block trailer.
The standard 32-byte block is BIG-endian; this variant is LITTLE-endian.
The tail-word check matters: a session ending mid-block leaves buffer
garbage in the remaining interval slots, which decoded as peaks
thousands of times the real value. Stride detection also requires at
least 2 records, since a 1-record block would have stride 32 and
collide with the standard block.
Recovers 415 files that decoded to nothing: 216 on BE18193 (2 s
intervals) and 199 on BE9440 (15 s). Before decoding to nothing they
were being accepted by the WAVEFORM codec, which returned garbage
peaking up to 400x the device-reported PPV.
Ground truth BE9440/K440L3AQ.T70H (5,710 intervals) matches its
Blastware ASCII export exactly: 17,130/17,130 geo peaks, 22,840/22,840
frequencies, 5,710/5,710 mic dB(L). Across all 455 affected files,
1,354/1,365 channel peaks (99.2%) match the device-reported PPV; the 11
that don't are under-reads on BE9440 where the walk stops early.
Fixture (binary + ASCII) saved under tests/fixtures/, which is
gitignored per repo practice — the ground-truth test skips when absent.
Tests: 258 passed, failure list unchanged from baseline.

Supersedes the segment-header model entirely, including the fixes made
earlier today. Found via multi-agent structural analysis of the 25 files
that stalled the walker, then verified independently.
Records are self-delimiting: off+2 is a uint16 BE length, next_record =
off + 2 + len, and the chain ends on a record whose chan_id is 0x06.
off+8 carries a 3-valued mode enum:
02 00 14-byte header, 2 anchors, then CUMULATIVE delta blocks
01 00 10-byte header, no anchors, blocks are ABSOLUTE values
00 03 10-byte header, NO TAGS AT ALL - raw 12-bit packed absolute
`40 NN` is an ordinary int16 BE data block (2*NN + 2), never a header.
Reading it as a 2*NN + 16 header is what made walks drift — the
"variable-prefix segment descriptors" reported earlier today were not a
format feature, just walker drift of exactly
4 - (old_stop - true_record_start), on all 25 affected files.
Measured on the production snapshot:
all four channels equal length 156/1388 -> 1388/1388
ASCII sample-count exact 72/75 -> 75/75
ASCII fully exact 70/75 -> 73/75
device PPV waveform (live) 1288/1306 -> 1306/1306 (mean err 0.00000)
device PPV histogram (live) 4434/4459 -> 4458/4459
Also eliminates the walker-over-read class: 24 of those 35 files were
histograms that read_blastware_file fed to the waveform codec first; the
old walker accepted them and returned garbage (one yielded 98,923
"intervals"), while the record-chain decoder returns None so they fall
through to histogram_codec.
00 03 records are DECODED, not skipped. Skipping them silently shifts
the time base of everything after them on that channel — BE9558/
K558LOF2.820W had MicL displaced by exactly 512 samples with nothing
marking the gap.
Footer detection now prefers the 0e 08 candidate whose body yields a
chain terminating on 0x06; the signature can occur inside a sample
stream. Blast radius 1 file of 1388.
The superseded model survives as decode_waveform_legacy, pinned by
micromate/idf_file.py: its Thor IDFW body-offset search trial-decodes
candidates and keeps whichever yields the most samples, so the new
decoder returning None where the old returned garbage changes that
heuristic's winner. Deferred until that search uses the record chain.
Tests: 253 passed (+11), failure list unchanged from baseline. The 9
tests pinning the superseded model are retargeted at
decode_waveform_legacy, which still implements it.
NOTE: stored .h5 files need regenerating — nearly all get longer.

Two errors in the series-3 histogram block model, both found by diffing
against the per-interval data table in the preserved Blastware ASCII
exports (1211 files in the prod snapshot — far stronger ground truth
than the header PPV used previously).
1. The block is uniformly BIG-ENDIAN. Peaks and half-periods are uint16
BE (T_peak [5:7], T_halfperiod [7:9], V_peak [9:11], V_halfperiod
[11:13], L_peak [13:15], L_halfperiod [15:17], M_peak [17:19],
M_halfperiod [19:21]); only block_ctr [2:4] is little-endian.
The old uint8-peak model silently CLIPPED any peak above 1.275 in/s:
the final interval of BE18193/T193LQ9K.OE0H reads 8.270 in/s in BW's
export (1654 counts = 0x0676) and decoded as 0x76 = 118 = 0.590.
The byte documented as a per-channel "annotation" was never an
annotation — it is the half-period's high byte, which is exactly why
it was non-zero on the sub-Hz intervals BW renders as "<1.0".
The marker is block[4] alone. Testing [4:6] as a uint16 LE marker
forced block[5] == 0, which is what capped the peak at one byte.
2. The final block of each stream carries tail 9c 06 00 42 instead of
1e 0a 00 00, and holds arbitrary bytes at [21:23]. Rejecting it
dropped the last interval of nearly every histogram — frequently the
interval holding the event peak, so the file's PPV read low.
Verified end to end through the production path: 1211/1211 histograms
decode exactly (interval count + every per-interval peak), plus 842,442
per-interval frequency comparisons with zero mismatches. Previously
1 of 1196 files was fully correct.
decode_histogram_body_full records expose `is_terminal` in place of the
removed `annotations` tuple. +6 tests. No regressions: full-suite
failure list unchanged from baseline.
NOTE: stored histogram .h5 files need regenerating to pick this up.

Two independent bugs, both found by diffing 75 production events against
their preserved Blastware ASCII exports (<store>/<serial>/<file>_ASCII.TXT).
1. Geo full scale was wrong — every geophone reading was 2.34% low.
The codec emits geo samples in 16-count units with a documented LSB of
exactly 0.005 in/s, and decoded_to_adc_counts multiplies by 16, so one
ADC count is 0.005/16 in/s and 10.000 in/s is 10.0/(0.005/16) = 32000
counts. sfm/event_hdf5.py and minimateplus/event_file_io.py both
divided by 32768 (2^15), scaling every sample and derived peak down by
1 - 32000/32768. The error scales with amplitude, so it was invisible
on quiet events and worst on the loud ones that matter for compliance.
Mic is unaffected (it back-solves its scale from the device peak).
216 per-channel comparisons: 32768 -> 151/216 exact, worst error 0.238
in/s on a 10 in/s event; 32000 -> 216/216 exact, worst 0.005 = 1 LSB.
2. walk_body silently truncated channels on four unhandled framing cases.
An unrecognised tag ends the walk and decode_waveform_v2 returns
whatever it got, so this surfaced as short channels, never an error:
- wide-NN RLE `0X NN` (runs longer than 252 samples)
- `30 NN` with NN > 0x10 (the old cap was arbitrary)
- variable-width `40 NN` headers: NN counts previous-channel
continuation deltas, so the header is 2*NN + 16 bytes; `40 01`
and `40 03` occur alongside `40 02`
- tagless segment headers: no `40 NN` tag at all, just the 14-byte
tail [field2:2][len:2][channel_id:4][marker:2][anchors:4]
Also: the header field documented as a "monotonic uint32 LE counter" is
really [channel_id][00][00][segment_index], with 0x46=Tran 0x47=Vert
0x48=Long 0x49=MicL — verified on 1697/1697 segment headers, zero
disagreements. decode_waveform_v2 now takes the channel from that field
instead of rotation position, which was fragile: one missed header
desynced every channel after it.
parse_segment_header now returns n_prev_deltas/prev_deltas/marker/
anchors/channel/segment_index; the old fixed_pattern (02 00 00 01)
conflated the 2-byte marker with the first anchor.
Ground-truth corpus, end to end through the production path:
exact 37 -> 72, truncated 23 -> 3, full-length value errors 15 -> 0.
Store-wide, 729 of 1388 series-3 waveform events decode differently and
728 gain samples; the scale fix changes float values on all of them, so
stored .h5 files need regenerating.
Still open: 3 events truncate at a header variant with a variable-width
prefix (2/4/6 bytes) before the channel id and an `01 00` marker.
Documented in docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md with byte offsets.
+20 tests. No regressions: the byte-exact fixture suite still passes and
the full-suite failure list is unchanged from baseline (16 pre-existing
failures from gitignored fixtures).

set_false_trigger now clears reviewed_real when flagging false_trigger=True
(mirrors update_event_review's exclusivity), and the quick
PATCH /db/events/{id}/false_trigger endpoint now calls
propagate_review_to_twins after the flag write, matching the sidecar PATCH
path's try/except-with-log.warning pattern. Previously the quick path could
leave both flags set and never touched twins.
Also corrects the v0.25.0 CHANGELOG bullet (exclusivity was not actually
enforced on the quick path until this commit) and adds a caveat comment on
find_twins about rare clamped/saturated-PVS false-positive twin matches.
BW writes ">100 Hz" for ZC Freq when the zero-crossing algorithm sees a
peak too fast to count — the device's reporting ceiling is 100 Hz on
V10.72. Our parser fell back to None via _parse_number (which requires
a leading digit), so the PDF rendered "—" where BW shows ">100".
Mirrors the OORANGE/saturated pattern already used for PPV and PSPL:
parser stores the threshold (100.0) on zc_freq_hz + sets a new
zc_freq_above_range flag. Projection carries the flag through to the
sidecar; PDF renderer prepends ">" when set.
Affects both per-channel stats tables (waveform + histogram variants)
and the mic block's ZC Freq row.
Verified on the real T190LD5Q.LK0W fixture: Tran zc_freq_hz=100.0
above_range=True; Vert/Long (normal values) above_range=False; "N/A"
still produces zc_freq_hz=None which renders as "—" (unchanged).

BW writes "OORANGE" (truncation of "Out Of Range") when a channel
exceeds its full-scale, and uses a typo'd label "Peak Vector Sum
TimeSum" for the PVS time field. Both confirmed against real ASCII
files pulled from a Windows watcher PC 2026-05-27:
T190LD5Q.LK0W Vert PPV = OORANGE (Normal range, 10 in/s exceeded)
T438L713.RY0W All three PPVs OORANGE (Sensitive range, 1.25 in/s)
K557L3YM.OE0W Tran+Vert PPV OORANGE + MicL PSPL OORANGE
Previously our _parse_number() returned None for OORANGE → DB columns
ended up NULL → events vanished from filters / sorts / dashboards
despite being legitimate high-amplitude events.
New behavior — substitute a conservative bound + set a saturation flag:
- Channel PPV → geo_range_ips + ChannelStats.ppv_saturated
- Peak Vector Sum → sqrt(3) * geo_range_ips + peak_vector_sum_saturated
- MicL PSPL → 140 dB(L) + MicStats.pspl_saturated
Flags propagate to the sidecar's bw_report block so the SFM UI can
render "> 10 in/s" / "> 140 dBL" rather than treating the substituted
value as exact.
Same commit also accepts "Peak Vector Sum TimeSum" as an alias for
"Peak Vector Sum Time" (BW always writes the typo on OORANGE PVS
lines — every example file confirms it).
Tests: new test_oorange_marker_treated_as_saturation (synthetic) +
test_real_oorange_event_t190_parses (skips if real fixture absent).
177/177 tests pass; 16 pre-existing missing-fixture skips unchanged.
Five events on prod (T190, T438, K557, plus 2 others matching the
same fault pattern) will pick up correct peaks + saturation flags
once watchers re-forward.

Mirror what the ingest path does: BW's reported peaks (and sample_rate
/ record_time) take precedence over codec output where present.
Without this, --force backfill silently overwrites bw_report-overlaid
DB columns with codec-derived peaks. Wrong for events where the codec
doesn't fully decode (waveform walker edge cases on SP0/SS0/SV0-style
events, histogram byte[5]!=0 sub-format that isn't yet RE'd), producing
PVS=0 on real high-amplitude events. Bit on prod 2026-05-22 with
three top-10 waveform events ending up at PVS=0 (rolled back same day,
this fix is the proper resolution).
New helper minimateplus.event_file_io.apply_bw_report_dict_to_event
operates on the projected sidecar dict shape (the structure
_bw_report_to_dict produces, which is what gets preserved in the
sidecar). Mirrors apply_report_to_event's semantics: only writes
fields where bw_report has a non-None value, no-ops cleanly on
empty / None input.
Dev validation against prod snapshot:
pre : 1839.7315 pvs_sum 356 events with DB PVS ≠ sidecar bw_report
post : 2016.4902 pvs_sum 2 events still mismatched (both have NULL
timestamp + duplicate rows, edge case)
Both edge-case events DO get the correct value written by the new
backfill — their stale rows from prior backfills remain because
UNIQUE(serial, timestamp) doesn't fire on NULL. Separate dedup
cleanup needed for those 2 events (0.014% of corpus); not blocking.
Backfill remains idempotent + bw_report preservation still passes
(0 WIPED, 0 CHANGED on the 3rd consecutive run).

the BE9558 / BE18003 extension-byte case
The bytes at [7]/[11]/[15]/[19] are an annotation field (purpose still
unclear — empirically non-zero on intervals with sub-Hz or unmeasurable
freq), NOT the high byte of the peak count. The N844 fixture corpus
the original RE was done against had zero values in those bytes for
every block, so uint8 and uint16 LE were equivalent there — but on
real BE9558 Tran-drift events and BE18003 Histogram+Continuous events
the uint16 LE interpretation produced peaks up to 268 in/s and 35×
inflated PVS sums.
Cross-correlated against BW's per-interval ASCII export on:
- K558LKZU/LL1P/LL3K → 100% T/V/L/M peak match (1435 blocks each)
- T003LKZR/LL0O/LL1M → 100% T/V/L, 99.3% M (0.05 dB rounding only)
- N599LKZS/LL0L → 100% all channels
- N844 fixture corpus → 100% all channels (unchanged)
Annotations preserved on every record for future RE; the defensive
_MAX_PEAK_COUNT bound is no longer needed (uint8 maxes at 1.275 in/s,
well below any physical limit).
Synthetic regression test added using the verbatim K558LKZU.RE0H
interval-12 block.

The histogram-mode event body is now byte-exact decodable.
Companion to the waveform body codec — together they cover every
event file the watcher forwards. Cracked in one session via
cross-event correlation against BW's ASCII export.
The §7.6.2 spec in instantel_protocol_reference.md was structurally
correct (32-byte blocks) but the per-sample semantics were
under-documented. Cross-checking block 130 of N844L6Z8.ZR0H
against its TXT row revealed the layout perfectly:
slot[0] = 10 (constant marker)
slot[1] = T_peak_count (× 0.005 → in/s at Normal range)
slot[2] = T_halfperiod (freq_Hz = 512 / halfp)
slot[3] = V_peak_count
slot[4] = V_halfperiod
slot[5] = L_peak_count
slot[6] = L_halfperiod
slot[7] = MicL_peak_count (dB via waveform_codec.mic_count_to_db)
slot[8] = MicL_halfperiod
The `>100 Hz` sentinel is halfperiod ≤ 5 (since 512/5 = 100 Hz).
Mic dB uses the SAME formula as the waveform codec (sign × (81.94
+ 20·log10(|count|))) — they share the mic ADC calibration constant.
Block identification anchor: bytes [22:24] == 0x0000 AND
bytes [28:32] == 1e 0a 00 00. The tail signature is the most
reliable distinguisher from non-block content in the file.
Files:
minimateplus/histogram_codec.py (new) — decoder + public API
matching the waveform codec's shape:
walk_body(body) -> records
decode_histogram_body(body) -> {Tran, Vert, Long, MicL}
decode_histogram_body_full(body) -> [per-interval dicts]
half_period_to_hz, geo_count_to_ins helpers
minimateplus/event_file_io.py (modified) — read_blastware_file
now tries the waveform codec first, falls back to the histogram
codec on failure. Same output shape, same downstream pipeline.
tests/test_histogram_codec.py (new) — 24 regression locks against
the in-repo fixture corpus, byte-exact against BW ASCII export
for peaks (all 4 channels), frequencies (all 4 channels,
including >100 Hz sentinel handling), block framing, and
segment-ID accounting.
scripts/backfill_sidecars.py (modified) — the has_samples
short-circuit added in the histogram-pending era is now a
pure defensive guard. Histograms in prod will regen .h5 files
correctly on the next backfill run.
docs/histogram_codec_re_status.md (updated) — supersedes the
earlier "in progress" version with the verified format and
test-coverage summary. Notes a few non-essential fields still
open (4-byte block metadata, Geo PVS, Mic psi(L) — none of
which are needed for waveform reconstruction).
Total verified coverage: ~3,500 blocks across 5 fixtures, every
field of every block byte-exact against BW.
The watcher-forwarded histogram event corpus on prod (~10,000
events) will now produce correct .h5 sidecars on the next backfill
run. No additional changes needed to the backfill flow — the
existing tool_version-bump cascade picks them up automatically.

Fixes a data-loss bug discovered while dry-running the backfill against
the prod store.
Symptom: every histogram event in the store has its body decoded by
read_blastware_file → codec returns None → samples = empty dict →
``ev.peak_values = _peaks_from_samples(empty)`` returns
``PeakValues(0, 0, 0, 0, 0)`` (NOT None). The backfill script's
existing "seed from DB row when peak_values is None" branch then
correctly *skips* the seeding, and the all-zeros PeakValues flows into
``db.insert_events()``'s UPSERT path, OVERWRITING the existing good DB
peak values for that event (which were populated from the paired BW
ASCII report at ingest).
Net effect: running the backfill on prod would have wiped the PPV /
mic / vector-sum columns for ~10,000 histogram events.
Fix: only compute peaks-from-samples when there are actually samples.
For events the codec couldn't decode (histogram-mode bodies, until
the §7.6.2 histogram codec is wired in), leave peak_values=None as
the "we don't know" signal. Downstream consumers:
- backfill_sidecars.py — its existing ``if ev.peak_values is None:``
branch (line 243) seeds from the DB row, preserving the real
BW-report peaks across the regen.
- WaveformStore.save_imported_bw — apply_report_to_event overlays
peaks from the paired BW ASCII report when one was uploaded.
Histogram imports without a paired report end up with NULL peaks
in the DB, which is correct (better than zeros — clearly says
"no peak data available" rather than "peaks are exactly zero").
Updated the existing synthetic-event round-trip test to expect
peak_values=None for the no-real-body case, which is the truth now.
The 7 fixture-corpus regression tests for real BW waveforms continue
to pass — those have decodable samples, so peak_values is still
populated from the codec output as before.

`read_blastware_file()` was still calling `_decode_samples_4ch_int16_le`
(the retracted int16-LE-interleaved hypothesis) on the body bytes,
producing ±32K noise on every channel of every BW file read from disk.
This was the path watcher-forwarded events take into the system
(via the import endpoint → save_imported_bw → read_blastware_file,
since the watcher doesn't ship A5 frames), so every .h5 sidecar
generated for a forwarded event has been wrong since the feature
shipped.
The fix is mechanical: pass the body bytes straight to
`waveform_codec.decode_waveform_v2()` and run the result through
`decoded_to_adc_counts()` for the 16x geo scaling. The body already
starts with the codec's exact 7-byte preamble `00 02 00 [Tran[0] BE]
[Tran[1] BE]` — confirmed by `body[:3].hex()` across all 9 fixture
events. No body-slice adjustment needed.
If the codec returns None (truncated/malformed file, synthetic test
input with no real waveform), fall back to empty channels with a log
warning. The rest of the event (timestamp, waveform_key, project
strings, sensor_location, peaks-from-samples=0) is still recoverable.
Verified against the bundled fixture corpus:
V70 Tran/Vert/Long 3328/3328 sample-sets match .TXT ground truth
within the 0.005 in/s display quantum, every row
6S0/RG0/AB0/470 (5-8-26) 3328/2304/1280/1280 samples; Vert PPVs
match BW's own report within 0.02 in/s
JQ0 3328 samples, Vert PPV 3.384 vs BW 3.465
SP0/SS0/SV0 (loud events) 3072–3328 samples; known walker
tail-truncation 1–7 samples per channel, samples reached are
byte-exact
Existing `test_read_blastware_file_round_trip` (synthetic empty event)
continues to pass thanks to the None-fallback. Codec verify scripts
(`analysis/verify_quiet_bundle.py`, `analysis/verify_full_decode.py`)
re-run unchanged.
Added two regression-lock tests in tests/test_event_file_io.py:
- test_read_blastware_file_decodes_via_codec[6 fixtures]
— verifies sample count + Vert PPV per fixture
- test_read_blastware_file_v70_samples_match_txt_truth
— verifies every one of V70's 3328 sample-sets across Tran/Vert/Long
matches the .TXT ground truth row-by-row within 0.003 in/s
