serversdown d506ebc103 histogram_codec: peak count is uint8 (not uint16 LE) — properly cracks
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.

histogram_codec.py — decoder for MiniMate Plus histogram-mode event bodies.
FULLY DECODED 2026-05-20. Every field in every block, verified
byte-exact against BW's ASCII export across multiple histogram
fixtures.
The histogram-mode body is a stream of 32-byte fixed-length blocks,
one block per histogram interval. Each block carries the per-interval
peak amplitude + zero-crossing frequency for all four channels (Tran,
Vert, Long, MicL).
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Body layout (CONFIRMED 2026-05-20)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[stream of 32-byte blocks]
Body length is approximately ``n_intervals * 32`` bytes plus a small
trailing remnant (1-9 bytes typically) at the very end. Walker should
iterate 32-stride and stop before the tail.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
32-byte block layout
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[0] 0x00 always-zero tag
[1] segment_id (uint8) 0x00..0x03 — 256 blocks per segment
[2:4] block_ctr (uint16 LE) resets each segment (0x0100, 0x0101, …)
[4:6] 0x000a (uint16 LE) constant marker (= 10)
[6] T_peak_count uint8 Tran peak (count × 0.005 → in/s, max 1.275 in/s)
[7] T_annotation uint8 empirically non-zero on intervals with sub-Hz
or unmeasurable Tran freq; meaning not fully RE'd
[8:10] T_halfperiod uint16 LE Tran half-period in samples (freq = 512 / halfp Hz)
[10] V_peak_count uint8
[11] V_annotation uint8
[12:14] V_halfperiod uint16 LE
[14] L_peak_count uint8
[15] L_annotation uint8
[16:18] L_halfperiod uint16 LE
[18] M_peak_count uint8 MicL peak (count → dB via mic_count_to_db)
[19] M_annotation uint8
[20:22] M_halfperiod uint16 LE MicL half-period in samples (freq = 512 / halfp Hz)
[22:24] 0x00 0x00 constant
[24:28] 4-byte variable purpose unknown (possibly CRC or timestamp delta)
[28:32] 0x1e 0x0a 0x00 0x00 constant block-end signature
NOTE on peak-count width: an earlier interpretation treated the peak
fields as uint16 LE spanning [6:8] / [10:12] / [14:16] / [18:20].
That happened to be byte-exact against the N844 fixture corpus only
because every annotation byte in those fixtures was zero, making
``uint16 LE == uint8``. Cross-correlating BE9558 (K558) Tran-drift
and BE18003 (T003) Histogram+Continuous events against the BW ASCII
export proved peak is uint8 alone — see test_histogram_codec.py
and docs/histogram_codec_re_status.md.
Block-identification anchor: ``block[22:24] == b"\\x00\\x00"`` AND
``block[28:32] == b"\\x1e\\x0a\\x00\\x00"``. This is the reliable
distinguisher from non-block content in the file.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Per-channel encoding
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Geophone channels (Tran, Vert, Long):
- peak_count × 0.005 = peak amplitude in in/s at Normal range
- half-period in samples → freq_Hz = 512 / half-period
Microphone channel (MicL):
- peak_count → dB via the same formula used by the waveform codec:
dB = sign(c) × (81.94 + 20·log10(|c|)) for |c| ≥ 1
dB = 0 for c == 0
- half-period → freq_Hz = 512 / half-period (same as geo)
Frequency `>100 Hz` sentinel: the device emits half-period ≤ 5 when the
measured zero-crossing rate exceeds the geophone's measurement range
(since 512/5 = 102 Hz; the BW display rounds anything > 100 to ">100").
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Output shape
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
``decode_histogram_body`` returns a per-channel dict matching the
waveform codec's shape so the rest of the pipeline (.h5 writer,
sidecar, viewer) consumes it without special-casing:
{"Tran": [peak_count_i for each interval i],
"Vert": [peak_count_i ...],
"Long": [peak_count_i ...],
"MicL": [peak_count_i ...]}
Values are in **16-count units for geo** (LSB = 0.005 in/s, matching
``decode_waveform_v2``) and **1-count units for mic** (matching the
waveform codec's mic convention). Run through
``waveform_codec.decoded_to_adc_counts`` to scale geo to 1-count ADC.
Per-interval frequencies are NOT returned — they're auxiliary data,
not waveform samples. Consumers needing frequencies can call
``decode_histogram_body_full()`` for the structured per-interval
record list.
