 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Community batch (PRs #2100-#2157 by aepod, reviewed and integrated)
+
+Integrated as one set: conflicts resolved, review findings fixed, validated on the integrated branch. Hardware figures cited by the PRs are the author's own live runs on ESP32-S3 nodes and were not independently reproduced here.
+
+- **Security and honest status.** Refuse a routable HTTP bind when API auth is off (#2134). `--privacy-mode` now strips biometrics from REST, WebSocket and recordings, not only MQTT (#2125; the stripped-key list is an exact-match allowlist, so a new biometric field must be added to it). `/api/v1/status` waits for a real frame and unknown `--source` values are rejected (#2126; breaking for `--source macos|linux|windows`). A stale `/sensing/latest` reports `{"status":"stale"}` after 10 s (#2119). Measured stream fps and real WebSocket client counts (#2127). Absent nodes no longer count as one person (#2132). ESP32 frames with zero antennas or subcarriers are dropped (#2118). Dead nodes are evicted on a timer (#2120). Recordings and models stay under `--data-dir` (#2129). Boolean env flags accept 1/0/yes/no/on/off (#2108). Docker UDP ingest posture is explicit (#2107).
+- **CSI pipeline.** The grid gate locks on the majority frame shape and `/health` reports a stalled pipeline (#2157; a partial fix, mixed 192/306 frame shapes still drop frames, so it does not close #1894). Phase is combined across nodes only when they declare a shared reference (#2156). Point-cloud and hardware parsers use the ADR-018 layout and accept more than 256 subcarriers (#2155; the bandwidth rule for counts above 64 is CLAIMED, inferred from the datasheet). Per-node adaptive training from real recordings (#2101, #2103); a run that fell back to the live buffer now reports `degraded: true`. Gaussian decay no longer compounds across calls (#2140).
+- **MediaTek (ADR-266/267).** Legacy and unknown PPDU types in MTC1 (#2112), per-device ingest capped at 64 devices (#2113), a labelled amplitude heuristic and activity index (#2114; CLAIMED, not an occupancy estimate), an MT7981 bridge (#2115), and the OpenWrt WN586X3 patch set and guide (#2116; the vendored CSI patch is BSD-3-Clause-Clear, see `NOTICE`).
+- **MQTT / Home Assistant.** Semantic states wired into the publisher, entities announced only when sourced, persisted client id (#2117). Existing Home Assistant installs keep retained discovery configs for the six removed entities until they are cleared manually.
+- **Provisioning and firmware.** Wi-Fi password kept owner-only and out of argv and `--state` (#2153); state keyed by board MAC (#2152); `--dry-run` and a failed `--reset` leave state intact (#2111); OTA images confirmed by a bounded health check, which means only "reached the network and sent CSI" (#2100, ADR-379).
+- **Ground truth and spatial.** Radar window adapter and auto-labeller with a session-disjoint split and a median count baseline; radar labels carry `evidence: CLAIMED` (#2143, #2144). Node self-survey, check-only (#2145, ADR-381). The `spatial.evidence.v1` export defaults to the CODE proof grade and MEASURED requires a reproducer (#2141, ADR-382). Loopback UDP tee (#2102, ADR-380).
+- **Tooling.** `prove.sh` reports INCOMPLETE instead of PASS when a gate is skipped (#2130); ADR-018 capture scripts (#2131); API token on the ground-truth script (#2104); the UI asks for the API token instead of retrying forever (#2128); macOS redacted-link handling (#2105).
+- **Not included:** #2106 (MacWifi.app, draft) and #2142 (MR60 probe change, needs a captured MR60BHA2 boot log). `v2/data/adaptive_model.json` (41.5% training accuracy) is no longer tracked (#2135).

 ### Added
 
 - **`@ruvnet/ruview` 0.9.1: live sensing views inside Claude Code (ADR-377, ADR-378).** The package now ships `ruview-live`, a Claude Code mod. Type `/ruview` and a pane opens next to the conversation showing what your sensors see right now, refreshed automatically. It has three views, switched with keys `1` `2` `3` or with `/ruview overview|waterfall|radar`:
