The upper end **420 ms exceeds AC-4.1's 400 ms p95** at the documented Jetson Orin Nano Super extrapolation. There is no reserved slack for: (i) MAVLink/MSP serialization + UART/USB transmission to FC (~5-20 ms typical), (ii) OS scheduling jitter under shared-CPU+GPU contention (~10-30 ms typical at 90th-99th percentile per Source #97 Postgres-on-Jetson observations), (iii) thermal-throttle backoff at +50 °C ambient per AC-NEW-5 (Jetson backs off from 25 W to 15 W, collapsing throughput by ~40%), (iv) FC-side IMU pre-integration interpolation latency for the timestamp the GPS_INPUT/MSP2_SENSOR_GPS frame is targeted at, (v) FAISS HNSW index search variance at p99 (~1-3 ms typical → up to ~10-15 ms at p99 per Source #115).

Recommendation: **(d) hybrid**. **CRITICAL Plan-phase gate**: this is a hard prerequisite for AC-1.1/1.2 frame-center-accuracy validation; Test Spec (greenfield Step 5) cannot lock end-to-end accuracy fixtures without it. + +### Fact #105 — AC-NEW-7 cache-poisoning safety budget explicitly depends on a Suite Sat Service-side voting layer that solution_draft01 does NOT audit for existence, contract, or build status +- **Statement**: `_docs/00_problem/acceptance_criteria.md` § AC-NEW-7 External-dependency note: "The Suite Satellite Service is expected to operate a multi-flight ingest-side voting layer that gates onboard-tile promotion to 'trusted basemap' until multiple independent flights agree on geo-alignment. Voting algorithm is the Service's concern; onboard's job (AC-8.4) is to publish per-tile quality metadata sufficient for that layer. End-to-end AC-NEW-7 evidence depends on this Service contract." solution_draft01 § Architecture lists C6 + C10 as covering the onboard half (publish per-tile quality metadata, content-hash gate at takeoff, atomic-write descriptor cache) but does NOT verify that the Suite Service voting layer (a) has a documented contract, (b) has been implemented, (c) is on the parent-suite roadmap, or (d) has a fallback if not yet built. Without the Service-side voting, a single bad onboard pose with optimistic covariance writes a misaligned tile that becomes the next flight's anchor — cross-flight error compounding that NFT-5 (in solution_draft01) explicitly tries to test but cannot validate end-to-end without the Service contract. +- **Source**: AC-NEW-7 verbatim; solution_draft01 § Architecture C6+C10; solution_draft01 § Testing Strategy NFT-5 +- **Phase**: Mode B documentary audit +- **Confidence**: ✅ High +- **Sub-Question Binding**: PCM cross-component external-dependency dimension; SQ8 (security) +- **Implication**: solution_draft02 must add a NEW project-level decision **D-PROJ-2: Suite Sat Service voting-layer contract verification** with options (a) verify Suite Service voting layer is documented + scheduled for the deployment timeframe; (b) draft the contract from the onboard side and propose to the Suite Service team; (c) build a project-internal multi-flight aggregator as a stop-gap until Suite Service ships the layer (~2-3 weeks engineering, but cross-flight aggregator means onboard now owns suite-component scope creep); (d) accept that AC-NEW-7 Service-side validation is best-effort and document the gap explicitly. Recommendation: **(a) verify + (b) draft** in parallel — the contract definition is small (per-tile quality metadata schema + voting threshold spec) and propagating it back to the Suite Service team de-risks the entire AC-NEW-7 obligation. **CRITICAL cross-suite gate**: requires coordination with the parent-suite Satellite Service team before AC-NEW-7 NFT-5 can pass with end-to-end evidence. + +### Fact #106 — Mode A Phase 1 BLOCKING gate (`00_ac_assessment.md`) was not produced as a standalone artifact in the Mode A run per solution_draft01's own self-disclosure +- **Statement**: solution_draft01 § Note on AC assessment (lines 17-18): "Mode A Phase 1 (`00_ac_assessment.md` BLOCKING gate per the research SKILL.md) was not executed as a standalone artifact in this run. Per-AC binding evidence is instead distributed across the per-component fact cards and the Restrictions × Candidate-Modes sub-matrix sections in `06_component_fit_matrix/Cx_*.md`. This is acknowledged as a process deviation and is recoverable by extracting an `00_ac_assessment.md` summary file from the existing per-AC binding evidence on demand. No AC has been silently dropped or unverified." Per `_docs/00_research/00_question_decomposition.md` line 4 the Phase 1 skip was a **prior user decision** after a cleanup pass that stripped implementation details from `acceptance_criteria.md` and `restrictions.md`; "AC/restrictions are treated as fixed inputs". Mode B can either (a) extract the standalone artifact retroactively from the distributed evidence, (b) confirm the deviation as accepted by the user, or (c) leave it as-is for Plan-phase to either resolve or carry forward. The risk is small (per-AC binding IS in the per-component fact cards) but the canonical research methodology says a BLOCKING gate cannot simply be skipped. +- **Source**: solution_draft01.md "Note on AC assessment"; `_docs/00_research/00_question_decomposition.md` line 4; research SKILL.md Mode A Phase 1 BLOCKING-gate spec +- **Phase**: Mode B documentary audit +- **Confidence**: ✅ High +- **Sub-Question Binding**: Process compliance with research SKILL.md +- **Implication**: solution_draft02 acknowledges the deviation and recommends extraction of `00_ac_assessment.md` IF user wants the canonical artifact; otherwise the deviation is treated as accepted (per `00_question_decomposition.md` line 4 prior-user decision) and recorded explicitly in `_docs/_process_leftovers/`. + +### Fact #107 — AC-4.5 (system may refine prior estimates and emit corrections) FC-consumption pathway is unspecified; neither MAVLink `GPS_INPUT` nor MSP2 `MSP2_SENSOR_GPS` support "correct prior frame N+ago" semantics; GTSAM iSAM2's NATIVE look-back refinement is therefore internal-only and does not reach the FC +- **Statement**: AC-4.5 ("System may refine prior estimates and emit corrections") is satisfied by GTSAM iSAM2's incremental smoothing per Mode A Fact #89 — the estimator can revise past keyframe poses when new measurements arrive. solution_draft01 § Component C5 + § Testing Strategy IT-10 cite this as a key benefit of D-C5-5 = (c) GTSAM-shared-substrate. However: ArduPilot's `AP_GPS_MAV` (Source #4) and iNav's `mspGPSReceiveNewData()` (Source #110) both consume the **latest** received GPS frame as the current best estimate; neither supports retroactive correction of a frame N steps in the past. So GTSAM iSAM2's look-back refinement value is **internal-only** — it improves the current best pose estimate after smoothing the past, but the FC sees only the current frame after smoothing, not corrections to past frames. AC-4.5 is therefore satisfied as "internal estimator refines past + emits the corrected current estimate", not as "FC retroactively corrects past flight log".

This is direct contrarian evidence on the project's "DISK+LightGlue retrain on aerial-domain corpus closes cross-domain UAV→satellite gap" architectural bet (D-C3-1 = (a) RECOMMENDED-PRIMARY-MITIGATION). The contrarian implication: a DINOv2-backboned VPR (SelaVPR per Mode A C2 fact card) AND a DINOv2-backboned matcher (a hypothetical DINOv2-backed feature extractor + LightGlue) might close the cross-domain gap WITHOUT needing the D-C2-1 ~1-2-week aerial retrain that draft01 baselines. This does not invalidate the existing D-C3-1 = (a) recommendation but it strengthens the case for keeping SelaVPR (DINOv2-L) as a serious candidate alongside MixVPR (CNN) in the BSD/permissive C2 axis, and it suggests MegaLoc (which also uses foundation-model features per Source #123) is similarly attractive without retrain cost. +- **Source**: Source #131 (XoFTR + 2026 SAR-optical benchmark, two-source confirmation per Critical-novelty rule) +- **Phase**: Mode B web research +- **Confidence**: ⚠️ Medium (the "comparable performance without cross-modal training" finding is from one benchmark on SAR-optical, not UAV→satellite — extrapolation to project's exact operating context is plausible but unverified) +- **Sub-Question Binding**: SQ3+SQ4 / C2+C3 +- **Implication**: solution_draft02 § Architecture C2 keeps SelaVPR (DINOv2-L two-stage) as **strong secondary** alongside UltraVPR primary on the BSD/permissive C2 axis (per Fact #110 promotion). solution_draft02 § Open decisions adds **D-C2-12: DINOv2-backbone feature-extractor evaluation for cross-domain matching** as carryforward research item — could potentially close D-C3-1 retrain cost via DINOv2-feature-based matcher (e.g., DINOv2 + LightGlue or DINOv2 + paired matcher) without requiring D-C2-1 aerial retrain.

Recommendation: D-C1-1 = (c) both tracks open; preserves modular swap pathway. **Mode B Fact #102 evidence**: VINS-Mono is GPL-3.0 (not BSD); BSD/permissive-track lead remains OKVIS2. +- **D-C1-1-SUB-A (LOCKED 2026-05-08 by User to option (a))** VINS-Mono GPL-3.0 viral-linkage containment policy. Production binary `BUILD_VINS_MONO=OFF` (BSD-clean — only `Okvis2VioStrategy` + `KltRansacVioStrategy` linked). Research/dev binary `BUILD_VINS_MONO=ON` for IT-12 comparative study (all three strategies linked).

Both appear in the deployment plan and CI matrix per finding F6. (source: `_docs/02_document/tests/environment.md`) + +**Tile** — Unit of persistent imagery on the companion; basemap-projected, deduplicated; the only persistent imagery format.

Add a "Tier-2 hardware-runner availability" entry to the project's risk register (Step 4). +2. **F7 — `mock-suite-sat-service` is a real testing-time dependency that must be documented as a component boundary (not just a test fixture).** It encodes the publish-side of D-PROJ-2 and feeds into both NFT-SEC-01 and FT-P-17. Component decomposition (Step 3) should treat the Service-publish contract as an explicit C8/C10 cross-cutting boundary, not buried inside C8. +3. **F8 — VioStrategy parameterization in CI requires both a production binary AND a research binary.** D-C1-1-SUB-A locked the BUILD_VINS_MONO=ON/OFF split; the test plan must produce both binaries on every PR for the comparative-study report (IT-12 in `solution.md`).
