Per user 2026-05-29 directive: "OKVIS2-related tasks needed to be
implemented after full e2e derkachi flight test would be finished
successfully. So maybe put it back to todo?"
Reasoning accepted. OKVIS2 chain is the planned NEXT phase after
the cycle-4 Derkachi demo lands, not a cycle-5+ deferral. The
2026-05-27 production-default pivot directive remains in force;
today's earlier "deferred to cycle-5+" framing was over-correction
after the AZ-943 spec-reality gap.
- AZ-943 stays HARD-BLOCKED on AZ-951 + AZ-952 (PAUSED preamble
preserved). Cannot be worked on until both blockers land. Moving
to todo/ signals "queued, next-after-blockers", not "actionable
now".
- AZ-951 + AZ-952 are themselves NOT blocked. They ship the
upstream patches that unblock AZ-943.
Implementation sequence (unchanged): finish cycle-4 demo (AZ-959
+ remaining CSV-replay path) → AZ-951 → AZ-952 → AZ-943 → AZ-944
→ AZ-945. Current implement-batch target stays AZ-959; this
commit is bookkeeping only, does not change what's next on deck.
Touches: 3 file moves (backlog/ → todo/), dep-table preamble
fourth bump narrative documenting the placement reversal.

AZ-943 implementation attempt confirmed the C++ binding cannot satisfy
AC-4 without upstream OKVIS2 patches. The spec's "approach (a)
in-binding subclass workaround" is structurally impossible:
- ThreadedSlam::estimator_ is `private` (not `protected`)
- ViSlamBackend has no public covariance / counts / parallax / MRE
accessor in the v2 upstream headers
- TrackingState carries only id / isKeyframe / TrackingQuality enum /
recognisedPlace / isFullGraphOptimising / currentKeyframeId — none
of the five tracking-stats fields the binding needs
Filed the spec-documented "approach (b)" fallback as two sibling
tickets, both linked Jira-side as `is blocked by` against AZ-943:
- AZ-951 (3 SP): upstream patch — expose 6x6 pose covariance accessor
(+ ADR-XXX for the AZ-332 Plan-phase pin deviation)
- AZ-952 (3 SP): upstream patch — expose tracking-stats accessor
(feature counts + parallax + MRE)
AZ-943 transitioned In Progress -> To Do in Jira, full audit comment
attached. Local AZ-943 spec moved todo/ -> backlog/ with PAUSED
preamble; original AC list preserved for the post-unblock turn.
Per user 2026-05-29 confirmation: cycle-4 Derkachi demo target stays
KLT/RANSAC (tests/e2e/replay/conftest.py line 159
c1_vio: strategy: klt_ransac), so AZ-951 + AZ-952 + AZ-943 chain is
correctly deferred. Pivoting next batch to AZ-897 (replay UI form).
Touches: _docs/02_tasks/_dependencies_table.md (preamble + table
rows for AZ-943 paused / AZ-951 / AZ-952 added; totals bumped to
142 product + 41 blackbox-test = 183, 448 product + 133 blackbox
= 581), _docs/_autodev_state.md (sub_step pivot to AZ-897).

Cycle 1 Product Implementation Completeness Gate post-mortem.
AZ-589 + AZ-590 were the wrong abstraction:
- AZ-589 targeted `okvis::ThreadedKFVio` (OKVIS v1 API) which does
not exist in the vendored OKVIS2 upstream; smartroboticslab/okvis2
exposes `okvis::ThreadedSlam` instead.
- AZ-590 assumed a "de-ROSified VINS-Mono pin" submodule exists;
`cpp/vins_mono/upstream/` has no `.gitmodules` entry.
- The actual production gap is the empty central
`_STRATEGY_REGISTRY`: `register_strategy(...)` is never called
outside test fixtures, so `compose_root()` raises
`StrategyNotLinkedError` for every component slug with a
strategy-selecting config field. Affects c1_vio + c2_vpr +
c2_5_rerank + c3_matcher + c3_5_adhop + c4_pose + c5_state.
Re-classification:
- AZ-589 + AZ-590 closed Won't Fix (Jira); spec files removed
from todo/ but rows retained in the dependencies table as
audit-trail.
- AZ-591 created (todo/, 5pt) — cross-cutting compose_root
per-binary bootstrap that populates `_STRATEGY_REGISTRY` for
the airborne binary. Scheduled as Batch 66 sole task.
- AZ-592 created (backlog/, 5pt placeholder) — AZ-332 Tier-2
validation bundle (real `okvis::ThreadedSlam` wiring + Linux CI
apt-install + DBoW2 vocab + Jetson). BLOCKED on Tier-2
prerequisites; honors AZ-332's `AZ-332_tier2_validation`
self-deferral handle.
- AZ-593 created (backlog/, 5pt placeholder) — AZ-333 Tier-2
validation bundle (de-ROSified VINS-Mono upstream + binding +
CI + Jetson). BLOCKED on upstream vendoring decision plus
Tier-2 prerequisites; honors AZ-333's parallel deferral pattern.
- AZ-332 + AZ-333 re-classified in cycle1 gate report from FAIL
to BLOCKED-on-Tier-2.
Step 7 stays in_progress until AZ-591 lands; after that it can
advance to Step 8 with AZ-592 + AZ-593 parked in backlog/.
