fix(protocol): resolve 0xC511_0004 magic collision (closes #928)#931

… action Two real problems in the Static Application Security Testing job: 1. **It scanned a path that no longer exists.** `bandit -r src/` and `semgrep … src/` pointed at the repo-root `src/`, but the Python code moved to `archive/v1/src/` (64 .py files) when the runtime was rewritten in Rust. So the SAST scan matched nothing — a silent no-op (this is also why `bandit-results.sarif` was "Path does not exist" on recent runs). Fixed both to `archive/v1/src/`. 2. **Deprecated + redundant + flaky semgrep step.** The `returntocorp/semgrep-action@v1` step pulled `returntocorp/semgrep-agent:v1` from Docker Hub every run (intermittently timing out → red check, e.g. on #929) and is EOL. It was redundant: the pip `semgrep --sarif` step is what feeds GitHub Security; the action only pushed to the Semgrep cloud app via SEMGREP_APP_TOKEN. Removed it and folded its `p/docker` + `p/kubernetes` rulesets into the pip semgrep command, so coverage is preserved with no Docker pull. The job stays `continue-on-error: true` (non-gating). YAML validated. Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net>
Background
`0xC511_0004` was assigned to two different packet formats in firmware
— `EDGE_FUSED_MAGIC` (ADR-063, 48-byte `edge_fused_vitals_pkt_t`) and
`WASM_OUTPUT_MAGIC` (ADR-040, variable-length `wasm_output_pkt_t`).
Both were transmitted. The sensing-server only had a WASM parser for
that magic and no fused-vitals parser, so on the ESP32-C6 + MR60BHA2
mmWave configuration the fused-vitals packet was silently misparsed
as a malformed WASM output — `breathing_rate` was read as
`event_count`, mmWave-fused vitals were lost, and spurious WASM events
were emitted to subscribers.
Fix
1. Reassign `WASM_OUTPUT_MAGIC` to `0xC511_0007` (next free slot per
the registry in `rv_feature_state.h`). Smaller blast radius than
moving fused-vitals — the registry already treats `0xC511_0004` as
fused-vitals canonical and several years of deployed feature
tracking depends on that assignment.
2. Add `parse_edge_fused_vitals` + `EdgeFusedVitalsPacket` in
`wifi-densepose-sensing-server::main`. Byte layout taken directly
from `edge_processing.h:129`, mirroring the firmware's
`_Static_assert(sizeof(edge_fused_vitals_pkt_t) == 48)` so future
firmware changes that grow the packet will break this parser
loudly instead of silently.
3. Add a dispatch arm in the UDP receive loop. Fused-vitals is tried
BEFORE WASM so a stale firmware (still emitting 0xC511_0004 with
the WASM payload) fails to parse as fused-vitals (size mismatch),
then fails to parse as WASM (magic mismatch on the new 0x...0007),
and gets dropped — a deliberate "fail loud" outcome rather than the
pre-fix silent garbage.
4. Update the registry comment in `rv_feature_state.h` to add the new
0x...0007 row.
5. Add five tests in a new `issue_928_magic_collision_tests` mod:
- `parse_edge_fused_vitals_extracts_fields_correctly`
- `parse_edge_fused_vitals_rejects_short_buffer`
- `parse_edge_fused_vitals_rejects_wrong_magic`
- `parse_wasm_output_rejects_legacy_0004_magic`
- `parse_wasm_output_accepts_new_0007_magic`
WebSocket payload
Fused-vitals now broadcasts as `{"type": "edge_fused_vitals", ...}`
with the mmWave-specific block nested under `mmwave`. Schema is
additive — existing subscribers that only inspect `type` are
unaffected; subscribers that switch on `type` gain a new branch.
Deployment note
This is a wire-protocol change. Firmware older than this commit that
emits WASM output on 0xC511_0004 will lose its WASM event stream
against an updated host (host expects 0xC511_0007). Per the issue
discussion, "fail loud" is preferred to silent misparsing. Operators
running C6+mmWave should reflash firmware concurrent with the host
upgrade.
Test results
cargo test -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server --no-default-features
--bin sensing-server
→ 122 passed / 0 failed (5 new + 117 existing, unchanged)

Verified this end-to-end (I filed #928) — the protocol fix is correct and complete. 👍 Offsets match the firmware struct byte-for-byte. Checked
Note that [14]/[15] correctly use what's
Two things before merge:
Nice work — closes #928 correctly. LGTM after the rebase. |

Summary
Closes #928.
0xC511_0004was double-assigned in firmware (ADR-063 fused-vitals AND ADR-040 WASM output) and both packet types were transmitted. The sensing-server only knew the WASM shape, so on the C6+mmWave config the 48-byte fused-vitals packet was being silently misparsed as malformed WASM events — fused vitals were lost, spurious WASM events leaked to subscribers.Approach
Per the issue's recommended direction (smaller blast radius — the registry already treats
0xC511_0004as fused-vitals canonical):WASM_OUTPUT_MAGICfrom0xC511_0004→0xC511_0007(next free slot perrv_feature_state.hregistry). Firmware-side change inwasm_runtime.h.parse_edge_fused_vitals+EdgeFusedVitalsPacketon the server. Byte layout mirrorsedge_fused_vitals_pkt_tfromedge_processing.h:129exactly, gated by the firmware's_Static_assert(sizeof(...) == 48).0004) fails to parse as both and gets dropped — deliberate fail-loud rather than the pre-fix silent garbage.rv_feature_state.hdocumenting the new0x...0007row.issue_928_magic_collision_testsmod guarding both halves of the swap.Test plan

Deployment
⚠ Wire-protocol change. Firmware older than this commit emits WASM output on
0xC511_0004; updated hosts will drop those frames. Operators running C6+mmWave should reflash firmware concurrent with the host upgrade. The pre-fix silent misparsing is the worse failure mode; this is the right tradeoff.🤖 Generated with claude-flow
