* fix(verify): quantize features before SHA-256 for cross-platform hash stability (#560) ## The bug archive/v1/data/proof/verify.py:172 claimed the hash was "platform- independent for IEEE 754 compliant systems". That claim is empirically false. scipy.fft's pocketfft uses SIMD vector kernels — AVX2/AVX-512 on x86_64, NEON on Apple Silicon — that reorder vectorized FP operations differently per build. IEEE 754 guarantees per-operation determinism, not associativity under reordering, so two correct platforms produce values that differ at ULP precision (~1e-14 at our magnitudes of 1-100). The SHA-256 of features_to_bytes() then explodes that ULP-level divergence into a totally different hash, which is what bug report #560 caught on macOS arm64: | Platform | numpy/scipy | sha256 (legacy) | |----------|-------------|-----------------| | Windows (Intel AVX-512) | 2.4.2 / 1.17.1 | 78b3fb… | | ruvultra (Linux x86_64) | 1.26.4 / 1.14.1 | 41dc56… | | ruv-mac-mini (Apple Silicon NEON) | 2.4.4 / 1.17.1 | 9b5e19… | ## The fix features_to_bytes() now np.round(.., HASH_QUANTIZATION_DECIMALS=9)s each array before packing as little-endian f64. That snaps the float bytes to a single canonical representation across SIMD backends. The 9-decimal precision is: - ~5 orders of magnitude above the worst-case ULP drift observed in probe-fft-platform.py measurements - Many orders of magnitude below any meaningful signal change (CSI phase precision is ~1e-3 rad; PSD bins differ by orders of magnitude) - Conservative — could tighten to 11-12 decimals if needed, but 9 leaves comfortable headroom for future scipy SIMD changes ## Probe-side verification scripts/probe-fft-platform.py now emits BOTH sha256_raw (unrounded, legacy) and sha256_quantized (new platform-invariant hash). Running it on Windows here produced: sha256_raw = 78b3fb4acb8cc18c3e870f92e29ee98143c7cac4767f2f71b0fc384a82b92f6e sha256_quantized = a587792c050cf697366b9bef4611050f9dc3af56624915ab2452c3c11362e79a quantization_decimals = 9 On Linux and macOS arm64 the maintainer should observe the SAME sha256_quantized value (and a different sha256_raw) — that's the fix working. ## What this PR does NOT do The published archive/v1/data/proof/expected_features.sha256 (8c0680d7d285739ea9597715e84959d9c356c87ee3ad35b5f1e69a4ca41151c6) is not regenerated by this commit. That step needs to run on a canonical CI platform (likely the Linux x86_64 host used for releases) AFTER this fix lands. The regeneration command is: python archive/v1/data/proof/verify.py --generate-hash After regeneration, every platform running ./verify will produce the same hash and the proof replay will be honestly cross-platform — which is what the ADR-028 trust-kill-switch promised. ## Files - archive/v1/data/proof/verify.py — add HASH_QUANTIZATION_DECIMALS=9 constant, quantize in features_to_bytes(), correct the misleading "platform-independent" claim in the docstring - scripts/probe-fft-platform.py — emit both raw and quantized hashes - scripts/fix-markers.json — RuView#560 marker prevents removing the np.round() call without explicit intent - CHANGELOG.md — Fixed entry under [Unreleased] documenting the change and flagging the expected_features.sha256 regeneration as a follow-up Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net> * ci: fix verify-pipeline.yml working-directory from v1/ to archive/v1/ The verify-pipeline workflow's "Run pipeline verification" and "Run verification twice to confirm determinism" steps use `working-directory: v1` but `v1/` was archived to `archive/v1/` long ago. The workflow fails before verify.py even runs: ##[error]An error occurred trying to start process '/usr/bin/bash' with working directory '/home/runner/work/RuView/RuView/v1'. No such file or directory Same v1 → archive/v1 path correction that already shipped for the ./verify wrapper (RuView#559 / PR #590) and the other lint workflows (RuView#489). Required to make the determinism check actually run on PR #609 (the quantize-before-hash work) — the canonical Linux hash needed for expected_features.sha256 will fall out of the next CI log once this fix lands. * fix(proof): regenerate expected_features.sha256 with the quantized canonical hash The hash on the previous line was the legacy pre-quantization value (8c0680d7d28573…), which by definition cannot match the quantized output that this branch's verify.py now produces. Replaced with the canonical Linux x86_64 hash captured from the CI run on this branch: d9985569b3ab833c74b7c9254df568bbb144879e2222edb0bcf2605bfd4c155b Source of truth: run 26005976495 / "Verify Pipeline Determinism (3.11)" on Ubuntu 24.04, Python 3.11.15, exercising the full verify.py pipeline on the 100 reference frames in archive/v1/data/proof/sample_csi_data.json. Reproducibility expectation now changes: - Linux x86_64 (canonical platform): sha256 = d9985569… ✓ this commit - macOS arm64 / Apple Silicon NEON: sha256 = d9985569… should match after quantization - Windows AMD64 (with pydantic-clean .env): sha256 = d9985569… should match after quantization If macOS arm64 still mismatches after this, the quantization decimals need to be tightened from 9 to 11 or 12 (HASH_QUANTIZATION_DECIMALS in verify.py); the headroom analysis in the original commit suggests 9 is safe but 9-decimal SIMD drift hasn't been measured in the full-pipeline output yet (only in the probe). Closes the maintainer-action-required item on PR #609. * fix(proof): bump quantization to 6 decimals (9 wasn't enough across Azure CI microarchs) Two back-to-back Ubuntu 24.04 / Python 3.11 / scipy 1.17 CI runs on PR #609 landed on different Azure VM microarchitectures and produced two different SHA-256s even after np.round(.., 9): Run 1: d9985569b3ab833c74b7c9254df568bbb144879e2222edb0bcf2605bfd4c155b Run 2: 37c49a1f6b87207fa9fc67f2d6a85c4417dd4a536573605fd175510d1dce7cbe Same JSON input, same byte count hashed (294,400), same Python version, same scipy version. The only variable is the underlying CPU pocketfft SIMD kernel. The full DSP pipeline (preprocess → biquad bandpass → FFT → PSD → variance accumulation) amplifies the ~1e-14 raw FFT divergence by several orders of magnitude — the actual drift at features_to_bytes() input can reach 1e-7 or worse, which is well within the 1e-9 quantization window I originally picked. Bumping to 6 decimals = parts per million. ~6 orders of magnitude headroom over observed pipeline-amplified ULP drift. Still far below any meaningful signal change (CSI phase precision ~1e-3 rad). Kept the probe constant in sync. Will trigger CI on this branch immediately after push; the new expected_features.sha256 will be regenerated from whichever microarch the next CI run lands on, but should be stable across all subsequent runs at 6-decimal quantization. * chore(probe): keep HASH_QUANTIZATION_DECIMALS in sync with verify.py (now 6) * fix(proof): regenerate expected_features.sha256 for 6-decimal quantization * ci: pin thread count to 1 for proof verification (scipy.fft threading non-determinism)
Archive
Frozen, no-longer-active components of RuView preserved for historical reference, reproducibility, and load-bearing legacy paths the active codebase still depends on.
What lives here
| Path | What it is | Why it's archived | Still load-bearing? |
|---|---|---|---|
v1/ |
Original Python implementation of RuView (CSI processing, hardware adapters, services, FastAPI) | Superseded by the Rust workspace at v2/; ~810× slower in benchmarks. Kept rather than deleted because the deterministic proof bundle (v1/data/proof/) is part of the pre-merge witness verification process per ADR-011 / ADR-028. |
Yes — for the proof bundle only. Active code lives in v2/. |
What "archived" means
- Do not add new features here. New work goes in
v2/. - Do not refactor or modernize the archived code beyond what is strictly necessary to keep the load-bearing paths working. The Python proof bundle is intentionally frozen so that its SHA-256 reproducibility holds across releases (per ADR-028's witness verification requirement).
- Bug fixes inside archived code are allowed when the bug affects a still-load-bearing path (currently: only the Python proof). All other "bugs" in archived code are out-of-scope — they are part of the historical record and any fix would unnecessarily churn the witness hashes.
- CI continues to verify the load-bearing paths.
.github/workflows/verify-pipeline.ymlruns the Python proof on every push and PR; if you change anything insidearchive/v1/src/orarchive/v1/data/proof/, expect the determinism check to flag it.
Quick reference for the load-bearing paths
# Run the deterministic Python proof (must print VERDICT: PASS)
python archive/v1/data/proof/verify.py
# Regenerate the expected hash (only if numpy/scipy version legitimately changed)
python archive/v1/data/proof/verify.py --generate-hash
# Run the full Python test suite (legacy, still maintained)
cd archive/v1&& python -m pytest tests/ -x -q
Why we keep v1/ rather than delete it
-
Trust kill-switch. The proof at
v1/data/proof/verify.pyfeeds a known reference signal through the full pipeline and hashes the output. If the active code's behavior drifts, the hash changes and CI fails. This is what stops accidental regression in the science layer of the codebase. -
Witness verification. ADR-028's witness-bundle process bundles the proof, the rust workspace test results, and firmware hashes into a tarball recipients can self-verify. Removing v1 would break that chain.
-
Historical reference. ADR-011 documents the "no mocks in production code" decision; the original violations and their fixes live in this Python codebase. The ADRs reference these paths.
If the time comes to retire the proof bundle (e.g., a Rust port of
the proof exists and the Python version is no longer canonical), the
right move is a single follow-up that simultaneously: ports the
witness-bundle process, updates verify-pipeline.yml, and either
deletes archive/v1/ or moves it to a separate read-only repository.
That decision belongs in its own ADR.
