Oleksandr Bezdieniezhnykh 97f5f9793c [AZ-965] NetVLAD-VGG16 backbone checkpoint + YAML/compose wiring
AZ-965 ships the NetVLAD .pt checkpoint that clears the AZ-839
empty-c10_provisioning.backbones SKIP gate. Pipeline-integration
scaffold — encoder is real, NetVLAD tail is honestly labelled as
untrained.

Composition:

* Encoder (26 keys, encoder.0..encoder.28): torchvision
  vgg16(weights=IMAGENET1K_V1) features [:-2], BSD-3-Clause.
  Real ImageNet-pretrained VGG16 conv stack.
* NetVLAD pool + PCA tail (5 keys: pool.conv.{weight,bias},
  pool.centroids, pca.{weight,bias}): random-init via
  torch.manual_seed(0). NOT trained for visual place recognition.

Total: 149,002,112 params (568.4 MiB fp32, sha256=745c6f29...).
Round-trip verified locally: torch.load(weights_only=True) +
load_state_dict(strict=True) succeed; forward(1,3,480,480) emits
{'vlad_descriptor': (1, 4096) fp32} — matches NetVladStrategy
contract per net_vlad.py:247-251.

Two material discoveries documented in the AZ-965 spec:

1. The NetVLAD-VGG16 architecture already lives in repo at
   src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c2_vpr/_net_vlad_architecture.py
   — we instantiate it and save a state_dict, NOT externally source.
2. The PyTorch FP16 runtime expects a .pt state_dict (NOT .onnx).
   BackboneConfig.onnx_path is a misnomer for NetVLAD: per AZ-321
   design + c2_vpr description.md §1, NetVLAD runs on PyTorch FP16
   (NOT TRT). compile_engine is a no-op sha256+path wrap;
   deserialize_engine does torch.load(weights_only=True) +
   load_state_dict(strict=True).

User skipped Option A/B/C/D/E question — judgment call = Option B
(IMAGENET1K_V1 + random tail) per "use judgment, don't block":
* Option A (Nanne translation) was 5-8 SP, above the 5 SP budget.
* Option B is 3 SP, fits the budget, honestly labelled.
* Option C (pure random) was borderline-dishonest per Real Results.

Files:

* scripts/mk_netvlad_checkpoint.py — deterministic generator.
* models/netvlad/netvlad.pt — 568 MiB, via git-lfs (.gitattributes
  extended for models/**/*.pt, *.onnx, *.engine).
* configs/operator_replay.yaml — c2_vpr + c10_provisioning blocks
  populated; the field literally named onnx_path actually points
  at the .pt for NetVLAD per the runtime semantics noted above.
* docker-compose.test.jetson.yml — ./models:/opt/models:ro bind
  mount added to e2e-runner.
* _docs/03_ip_attribution/netvlad.md — provenance, licence, how-to-
  reproduce, honest scope statement ("NOT a real-retrieval
  checkpoint; ESKF divergence under garbage retrievals is the
  expected next gate").
* _docs/02_tasks/todo/AZ-965_netvlad_onnx_backbone_provisioning.md
  — rewritten to reflect the .pt-not-.onnx + Option B discoveries.

Tier-2 verification follows in a separate commit after the harness
run confirms the empty-backbones SKIP gate clears.

Out of scope (filed as follow-ups):

* Real-retrieval NetVLAD weights (Nanne Pittsburgh-30k translation
  or internal team checkpoint) — separate ticket.
* AZ-840 orchestrator PASSing end-to-end (depends on retrieval
  quality + ESKF stability).
* AZ-963 60s smoke ESKF divergence (independent chain).

# AZ-962 — Operator pre-flight + replay-mode config for Tier-2 Jetson e2e harness.
#
# Consumed by `tests/e2e/replay/conftest.py::_build_operator_pre_flight_cache`
# (the AZ-839 C3 fixture) which `load_config(env, paths=[this])` then drives the
# AZ-840 7-step orchestrator (`test_az835_e2e_real_flight.py`).
#
# Most fields stay at their dataclass defaults (see
# `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/{c6_tile_cache,c7_inference,c10_provisioning,c11_tile_manager}/config.py`).
# The blocks are declared here primarily so the four-component contract the
# fixture skip-gate cites is satisfied by inspection of this file. The env
# vars below are filled by docker-compose.test.jetson.yml / `.env.test`:
#
# * `GPS_DENIED_FC_PROFILE`, `GPS_DENIED_TIER`, `DB_URL` → runtime
# * `INFERENCE_BACKEND`, `TILE_CACHE_PATH`, `CAMERA_CALIBRATION_PATH` → runtime
# * `LOG_LEVEL`, `LOG_SINK` → log
# * `FDR_PATH` → fdr
# * `SATELLITE_PROVIDER_URL` → c11_tile_manager.satellite_provider_url
# * `SATELLITE_PROVIDER_API_KEY` → c11_tile_manager.service_api_key
#
# AZ-965 (2026-05-29): `c10_provisioning.backbones` now declares a
# single NetVLAD-VGG16 entry pointing at `models/netvlad/netvlad.pt`
# (568 MiB git-lfs blob; see `_docs/03_ip_attribution/netvlad.md` for
# provenance — VGG16 encoder = torchvision IMAGENET1K_V1 BSD, NetVLAD
# pool + PCA tail = deterministic-random untrained). Bind-mounted into
# the e2e-runner at `/opt/models` via docker-compose.test.jetson.yml.
# AZ-321 design: NetVLAD runs on the PyTorch FP16 runtime (NOT TRT),
# so the field literally named `onnx_path` here is actually the path
# to the `.pt` PyTorch state_dict the runtime consumes.
