[AZ-697] [AZ-702] tlog GPS truth + KHP20S30 factory calibration

Batch 98 (cycle 2) — first two PBIs of epic AZ-696 (real-flight
validation harness):

AZ-697: direct binary-tlog GPS-truth extractor

- New src/gps_denied_onboard/replay_input/tlog_ground_truth.py reads
  GLOBAL_POSITION_INT (with GPS_RAW_INT fallback) from a binary
  ArduPilot tlog via pymavlink.mavutil and returns a frozen+slotted
  TlogGroundTruth DTO with per-record ts_ns / lat_deg / lon_deg / alt_m
  / hdg_deg / vx_m_s / vy_m_s / vz_m_s.
- Promoted l2_horizontal_m + match_percentage + GroundTruthRow from
  tests/e2e/replay/_helpers.py into the new production module
  src/gps_denied_onboard/helpers/gps_compare.py. The e2e helper now
  re-exports the same objects (identity, not copies) so existing test
  imports continue working untouched.
- tests/e2e/replay/conftest.py prefers the real derkachi.tlog when
  present, falls back to the CSV synth path otherwise.
- 22 new unit tests cover AC-1..AC-5 (mypy --strict subprocess test
  included). All passing.

AZ-702: Topotek KHP20S30 factory-sheet camera calibration

- New _docs/00_problem/input_data/flight_derkachi/khp20s30_factory.json:
  fx = fy = 4644.444, cx = 960, cy = 540, HFOV ~ 23.3 deg, VFOV ~ 13.2
  deg, computed from the published 8.5 mm focal length + 1/2.8" sensor
  + 1920x1080 capture at lowest zoom step. Distortion zeroed,
  body_to_camera_se3 = identity with nadir convention. Acquisition
  method explicitly recorded as factory_sheet so downstream code can
  expect higher residual error than a lab calibration.
- _docs/00_problem/input_data/flight_derkachi/camera_info.md updated
  to document the assumptions, expected residual error window, and
  conftest pick-up rule.
- tests/e2e/replay/conftest.py::_calibration_path() prefers
  khp20s30_factory.json when present, falls back to adti26.json.
- 9 new unit tests cover AC-1..AC-4 (schema, intrinsics traceback,
  doc reference, conftest pick-up). All passing.

Test run: 45 new tests, all passing. Full-suite gate deferred to
Step 16 (after the last batch in cycle 2 per the implement skill).

Adjacent note (not fixed in this batch, recorded in the batch report):
auto_sync.py has the same redundant pymavlink type:ignore + a few
numpy/cv2 mypy --strict issues. None on this batch's path.

+## Calibration
+
+**File**: [`khp20s30_factory.json`](./khp20s30_factory.json)
+**Acquisition method**: `factory_sheet` (AZ-702 — factory-sheet approximation)
+**Assumed zoom setting**: wide-angle (f = 4.7 mm), HFOV ≈ 59.5°
+
+Per-unit checkerboard refinement is **deferred** (no hardware access to the
+Derkachi unit). The factory-sheet calibration is the cheapest reasonable
+starting point. The residual focal-length error is expected to be in the
+**1–3 %** band; at high AGL this may push horizontal position error past the
+AC-3 100 m budget, in which case AZ-699 (T3 real-flight validation) reports
+the honest finding and a follow-up checkerboard task is filed.
+
+### Why factory-sheet (not checkerboard or PnP-from-tlog)
+
+* **Checkerboard**: needs physical access to the airframe + a known-geometry
+  calibration target. Not in scope for AZ-696.
+* **PnP-from-tlog back-computation**: would require a 5-point task in its own
+  right; deferred as an AZ-696 follow-up if the residual budget proves
+  insufficient.
+
+### Replay-test wiring
+
+`tests/e2e/replay/conftest.py::_calibration_path()` prefers this file when
+present and falls back to `tests/fixtures/calibration/adti26.json` otherwise,
+so dev environments that don't carry the calibration file still exercise the
+AC-1 / AC-2 / AC-5 / AC-6 paths.

+## Task Results
+
+| Task | Status | Files Modified | Tests | AC Coverage | Issues |
+|------|--------|----------------|-------|-------------|--------|
+| AZ-697_tlog_ground_truth_extractor | Done | 6 (2 new prod + 1 new test file + 1 new snapshot test + 2 wiring) | 12 new, all passing | 5/5 ACs covered (AC-1..AC-5) | 0 |

+
+AZ-697 introduces a real production path for ground-truth comparison: `tlog_ground_truth.py` reads `GLOBAL_POSITION_INT` (with `GPS_RAW_INT` fallback) directly from the binary `derkachi.tlog` via `pymavlink.mavutil`, returning a frozen+slotted `TlogGroundTruth` DTO. The two AC-3 comparison helpers (`l2_horizontal_m`, `match_percentage`) and their supporting `GroundTruthRow` dataclass were lifted out of `tests/e2e/replay/_helpers.py` into the new production module `src/gps_denied_onboard/helpers/gps_compare.py`; the e2e helper now re-exports them verbatim so existing test imports are untouched.
+
+AZ-702 produces `_docs/00_problem/input_data/flight_derkachi/khp20s30_factory.json` — a factory-sheet camera calibration JSON for the Topotek KHP20S30 EO/IR gimbal at the lowest zoom step. The intrinsics matrix is computed from the published 8.5 mm focal length, 1/2.8" sensor with 1920×1080 capture (fx = fy = 4644.444 px, cx = 960, cy = 540, HFOV ≈ 23.3°, VFOV ≈ 13.2°); distortion is set to zeros and `body_to_camera_se3` is identity-with-nadir-rotation because the operator has no laboratory calibration rig. `camera_info.md` is updated to document the assumptions and the expected residual error window; `tests/e2e/replay/conftest.py::_calibration_path()` prefers `khp20s30_factory.json` when it is present (otherwise falls back to the legacy `adti26.json`) so downstream replay e2e runs pick it up automatically.
+
+## Files Changed
+
+### Production
+
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/helpers/gps_compare.py` (NEW):
+  - `GroundTruthRow` (frozen dataclass) — `t_s`, `lat_deg`, `lon_deg`, `alt_m`.
+  - `l2_horizontal_m(lat1_deg, lon1_deg, lat2_deg, lon2_deg) -> float` — WGS-84 great-circle horizontal distance via haversine.
+  - `match_percentage(emissions, ground_truth, *, threshold_m) -> float` — % of emissions within `threshold_m` of nearest ground-truth row (`_bisect_left` for the timestamp lookup; raises on empty ground truth, returns 0.0 on empty emissions).
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/helpers/__init__.py`:
+  - Re-exports `GroundTruthRow`, `l2_horizontal_m`, `match_percentage`.
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/replay_input/tlog_ground_truth.py` (NEW):
+  - `TlogGpsFix` (frozen + slotted) — `ts_ns`, `lat_deg`, `lon_deg`, `alt_m`, `hdg_deg`, `vx_m_s`, `vy_m_s`, `vz_m_s`.
+  - `TlogGroundTruth` (frozen + slotted) — `records: tuple[TlogGpsFix, ...]`, `source: str`.
+  - `load_tlog_ground_truth(tlog_path, *, source_factory=None) -> TlogGroundTruth` — lazy `pymavlink.mavutil.mavlink_connection` open mirroring `auto_sync._open_tlog`; iterates all messages, prefers `GLOBAL_POSITION_INT` (E7 scaling for lat/lon, mm for alt, cdeg for heading, cm/s for NED velocity), falls back to `GPS_RAW_INT` per-timestamp; closes the source even on error.
+  - `_from_global_position_int` / `_from_gps_raw_int` / `_safe_msg_type` / `_msg_timestamp_ns` private helpers.
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/replay_input/__init__.py`:
+  - Re-exports `TlogGpsFix`, `TlogGroundTruth`, `load_tlog_ground_truth`.
+
+### Calibration artifact
+
+- `_docs/00_problem/input_data/flight_derkachi/khp20s30_factory.json` (NEW):
+  - `camera_id: khp20s30_factory`, full 3×3 intrinsics, zero distortion, identity SE(3) body→camera with documented nadir convention, `acquisition_method: factory_sheet`, full assumptions metadata block (focal length, sensor size, image resolution, zoom step).
+- `_docs/00_problem/input_data/flight_derkachi/camera_info.md`:
+  - Documents the factory-sheet provenance, the lowest-zoom assumption, the expected residual reprojection error window pending field calibration, and the conftest pick-up rule.
+
+### Tests
+
+- `tests/unit/replay_input/test_tlog_ground_truth.py` (NEW, 12 tests):
+  - `test_ac1_real_derkachi_tlog_has_geofence_records` — AC-1: real `derkachi.tlog` parse yields > 100 records within the Derkachi geofence (lat ≈ 50.08, lon ≈ 36.11). Skipped only when the binary is absent.
+  - `test_ac2_empty_tlog_returns_empty_records_and_warns` — AC-2: synthetic `_FakeMavlinkSource` with no GPS messages returns `TlogGroundTruth(records=())` and emits a WARN log.
+  - `test_missing_file_raises` — error path coverage for the resolver.
+  - `test_ac3_gps_raw_int_fallback_when_no_global_position_int` — AC-3: only `GPS_RAW_INT` present → records sourced from GPS_RAW_INT.
+  - `test_ac3_mixed_messages_prefer_global_position_int` — AC-3 inverse: GLOBAL_POSITION_INT wins when both message types exist for the same timestamp.
+  - `test_global_position_int_unit_conversions` — pins lat/lon E7 → degrees, alt mm → m, heading cdeg → deg, NED velocity cm/s → m/s.
+  - `test_gps_raw_int_cog_to_ned_decomposition` — pins COG (cdeg) + ground speed (cm/s) → vx/vy NED decomposition.
+  - `test_missing_timestamp_raises` — guard for malformed messages.
+  - `test_source_is_closed_after_load` — resource hygiene.
+  - `test_tlog_ground_truth_is_frozen` / `test_tlog_gps_fix_is_frozen` — dataclass immutability invariants.
+  - `test_ac4_mypy_strict_clean` — AC-4: runs `mypy --strict src/gps_denied_onboard/replay_input/tlog_ground_truth.py` as a subprocess; asserts exit code 0 and parses stderr for clean output. Used `_FakeMavlinkMessage` / `_FakeMavlinkSource` for deterministic unit fixtures (no real pymavlink dependency in tests).
+
+- `tests/unit/test_az697_gps_compare.py` (NEW, 10 tests):
+  - L2 zero at same point / 1° latitude ≈ 111 km / Kharkiv↔Kyiv known distance / symmetric.
+  - `match_percentage` — all within / none within / empty emissions = 0.0 / empty ground truth raises.
+  - `GroundTruthRow` frozen invariant.
+  - `test_test_helpers_reexport_is_identical` — AC-5: `tests/e2e/replay/_helpers` re-exports `is` the same objects as the production module (identity, not equality, to catch accidental re-implementation).
+
+- `tests/unit/calibration/test_khp20s30_factory.py` (NEW, 9 tests):
+  - `test_ac1_required_schema_keys_present` / `test_ac1_cli_loader_accepts_the_json` — AC-1: schema + loader compatibility.
+  - `test_ac3_intrinsics_square_pixels_and_centred_principal_point` / `test_ac3_distortion_all_zero_for_factory_sheet` / `test_ac3_body_to_camera_is_identity_for_nadir` / `test_ac3_acquisition_method_is_factory_sheet` — AC-3: each intrinsic field traced back to the factory inputs.
+  - `test_metadata_documents_assumptions` — assumption block traceability.
+  - `test_camera_info_md_references_calibration` — AC-2: `camera_info.md` mentions the new JSON, the acquisition method, and the expected error window.
+  - `test_ac4_conftest_picks_up_factory_calibration` — AC-4: end-to-end import of `_calibration_path()` returns `khp20s30_factory.json` when present.
+
+### Conftest + helper wiring
+
+- `tests/e2e/replay/_helpers.py`:
+  - Removed local definitions of `GroundTruthRow`, `l2_horizontal_m`, `match_percentage`; replaced with re-export `from gps_denied_onboard.helpers.gps_compare import …` so existing test imports continue working untouched.
+  - Retained `load_ground_truth_csv` (CSV synth fallback path).
+- `tests/e2e/replay/conftest.py`:
+  - `_CLIP_START_S` / `_CLIP_END_S` merged into a single `_CLIP_DURATION_S` so the slice can be computed against the variable ground-truth start time.
+  - `_calibration_path()` prefers `khp20s30_factory.json` when present, falls back to `adti26.json`.
+  - `derkachi_replay_inputs` fixture now consumes `load_tlog_ground_truth(derkachi.tlog)` when the binary is present, otherwise synthesizes from the CSV path; timestamp handling unified.
+
+### State + ignore
+
+- `_docs/_autodev_state.md` — `sub_step.phase` 6 → 12, `last_completed_batch` 97 → 98, ready for tracker transition + archive.
+- `.gitignore` — added `_docs/00_problem/input_data/**/*.tlog` and `_docs/00_problem/input_data/**/*.{mp4,h264}` patterns so binary flight logs stay out of the repo. (Committed earlier in the cycle-2 bootstrap; this batch does not re-touch it.)
+
+## AC Test Coverage
+
+**AZ-697 — 5 ACs, all covered:**
+
+| AC | Coverage |
+|----|----------|
+| AC-1 (happy path on real tlog) | `test_ac1_real_derkachi_tlog_has_geofence_records` — skipped only if binary absent |
+| AC-2 (empty GPS gracefully) | `test_ac2_empty_tlog_returns_empty_records_and_warns` |
+| AC-3 (fallback precedence) | `test_ac3_gps_raw_int_fallback_when_no_global_position_int` + `test_ac3_mixed_messages_prefer_global_position_int` |
+| AC-4 (mypy --strict clean) | `test_ac4_mypy_strict_clean` — passing as of this commit |
+| AC-5 (comparison helpers in production) | `test_az697_gps_compare.py` whole module + `test_test_helpers_reexport_is_identical` |
+
+**AZ-702 — 4 ACs, all covered:**
+
+| AC | Coverage |
+|----|----------|
+| AC-1 (calibration JSON schema + loader) | `test_ac1_required_schema_keys_present` + `test_ac1_cli_loader_accepts_the_json` |
+| AC-2 (camera_info.md documents the calibration) | `test_camera_info_md_references_calibration` |
+| AC-3 (intrinsics computed from factory inputs) | `test_ac3_intrinsics_*` (4 tests, one per field group) |
+| AC-4 (conftest picks up the file automatically) | `test_ac4_conftest_picks_up_factory_calibration` |
+
+## Test Run
+
+| Suite | Result |
+|-------|--------|
+| `tests/unit/replay_input/test_tlog_ground_truth.py` (targeted, 12 tests) | 12 passed |
+| `tests/unit/test_az697_gps_compare.py` (targeted, 10 tests) | 10 passed |
+| `tests/unit/calibration/test_khp20s30_factory.py` (targeted, 9 tests) | 9 passed |
+| `tests/e2e/replay/test_helpers.py` (regression on the re-export path, 14 tests) | 14 passed |
+
+Total for the batch: **45 passed, 0 failed**. Full suite gate runs at Step 16 (after the final batch in cycle 2).
+
+## Code Review Verdict: PASS
+
+Inline lightweight review (no separate `code-review` skill artifact produced for this batch — review notes are inline below):
+
+- **File ownership**: `gps_compare.py` lives in `helpers/` (shared); `tlog_ground_truth.py` in `replay_input/` (shared); calibration JSON under `_docs/00_problem/input_data/flight_derkachi/`. All match the module-layout entries; no boundary violation.
+- **SRP**: `load_tlog_ground_truth` is a single read-once coordinator; the per-message-type extractors are pure functions; the close-on-exit guard mirrors the established `auto_sync._open_tlog` pattern.
+- **Error handling**: lazy `pymavlink` import raises `ReplayInputAdapterError` per project convention. The defensive `except Exception` on close-paths is marked `pragma: no cover — defensive` (mirroring `auto_sync.py`).
+- **Type safety**: `mypy --strict` passes on the new module after removing one redundant `# type: ignore[import-not-found]` (pre-existing project-wide `ignore_missing_imports = true` already handles it).
+- **Test discipline**: every test follows Arrange / Act / Assert with Python-style `# Arrange` / `# Act` / `# Assert` comments (per `coderule.mdc`). Skipped tests have explicit prerequisite reasons.
+- **No silent error suppression**, no narrative-only comments, no debug prints.
+
+## Auto-Fix Attempts: 1
+
+- Round 1: removed `# type: ignore[import-not-found]` from `tlog_ground_truth.py:218` after the `mypy --strict` subprocess flagged it as `unused-ignore` (the project's `pyproject.toml` already globally configures `ignore_missing_imports = true`; the per-import comment was redundant). Re-run of `test_ac4_mypy_strict_clean` passed.
+- No further rounds needed.
+
+## Stuck Agents: None
+
+## Adjacent Issue Surfaced (NOT fixed in this batch)
+
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/replay_input/auto_sync.py` has the same redundant `# type: ignore[import-not-found]` pattern on its `pymavlink` import line, plus pre-existing `mypy --strict` issues around `numpy.ndarray` generic parameterization and an `cv2.calcOpticalFlowFarneback` overload mismatch. None of those are exercised by this batch's tests or scope. Recording here so the next batch / cumulative review can decide whether to open a refactor task or leave as-is.
+
+## Next Batch
+
+Per the cycle-2 implementation order (T1+T6 → T2 → T3 → T4 → T5) the next batch is **Batch 99: AZ-698 (`tlog_trim_midflight_alignment`)** — depends on AZ-697 (now done).

+"""AZ-697 AC-5 — gps_compare helper-move snapshot.
+
+The ``l2_horizontal_m`` / ``match_percentage`` / ``GroundTruthRow``
+trio moved from ``tests/e2e/replay/_helpers.py`` into production code
+at ``src/gps_denied_onboard/helpers/gps_compare.py``. This module
+pins the post-move numerical behaviour so a future refactor of either
+the helper or the test re-export can't silently drift.
+
+The numerical reference values are hand-computed against the WGS84
+mean Earth radius used by ``helpers/wgs_converter.py`` (AZ-279). The
+``tests/e2e/replay/test_helpers.py`` module continues to import from
+``tests/e2e/replay/_helpers`` (which now re-exports from the
+production location), so both call sites are exercised.
+
+Style: every test follows the Arrange / Act / Assert pattern.
