- Changed paths in documentation and configuration files to reflect the new naming convention for the NetVLAD model, transitioning from `models/netvlad/netvlad.pt` to `models/net_vlad/net_vlad.pt`.
- Updated the `.gitignore` to include additional file types and directories related to input data and locally-generated evidence frames.
- Removed the old NetVLAD checkpoint file as part of the transition to the new naming scheme.
These changes ensure consistency across the project and improve the management of generated files.
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.

Closes out greenfield Step 6 (Decompose) for all 14 components
(C1-C13 + cross-cutting helpers/replay). Covers tasks AZ-266..AZ-446
plus the _dependencies_table.md and component contract documents.
State file updated to greenfield Step 7 (Implement), not_started.
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Enhanced the SKILL.md file to enforce conciseness rules for the state file, specifying acceptable content and file size limits. Updated the autodev state to reflect the transition to the planning phase, including changes to the current step and sub-step details. Revised acceptance criteria to clarify validation requirements and external dependencies, ensuring alignment with the latest research findings. Added a new overlay for Mode B revisions to track changes and decisions made during the assessment process.
Updated various documentation files to clarify the handling of splittable artifacts, allowing for folder equivalents of key markdown files when they exceed size limits. Adjusted references in multiple sections to reflect this new structure, ensuring consistency across the research methodology. Enhanced clarity on the saving actions and artifact organization, particularly for `01_source_registry.md`, `02_fact_cards.md`, and `06_component_fit_matrix.md`. This change aims to improve usability and maintainability of the research documentation.
Updated the meta-rule document to emphasize strict adherence to skill instructions, prohibiting unnecessary investigations or external checks. Revised acceptance criteria and restrictions to correct communication protocol details for ArduPilot and iNav, ensuring clarity on external-positioning interfaces. Adjusted autodev state to reflect ongoing research phase and updated sub-step details for improved tracking.
acceptance_criteria.md and restrictions.md were carrying internal
component selections (DINOv2/SuperPoint/FAISS/ESKF), library pins
(pymavlink/MAVSDK), autopilot parameter values (GPS1_TYPE=14,
EK3_SRC1_*, VISO_QUAL_MIN), and v1/v1.1 phasing tied to specific
ArduPilot PR numbers. Per IEEE 830 / Atlassian / GitScrum,
acceptance criteria must be design-independent — outcomes only,
not implementation. Cleaned both files (-35% combined size) while
preserving every testable threshold and contract bullet.
Output-schema label renamed: vo_extrapolated -> visual_propagated.
FC scope broadened from ArduPilot-only to ArduPilot + iNav (both
via standard MAVLink external-positioning interfaces).
Encoded the lesson into the two skills that write/refine AC:
- problem/SKILL.md (initial AC production)
- research/steps/01_mode-a-initial-research.md (Phase 1 AC
& Restrictions Assessment)
Autodev state reset to greenfield Step 2 (Research) for the
post-restart greenfield run; cycle 1, in-progress at sub-step
ac-restrictions-assessment.

- Revised acceptance criteria in the acceptance_criteria.md file to clarify metrics and expectations, including updates to GPS accuracy and image processing quality.
- Enhanced restrictions documentation to reflect operational parameters and constraints for UAV flights, including camera specifications and satellite imagery usage.
- Added new research documents for acceptance criteria assessment and question decomposition to support ongoing project evaluation and decision-making.
