- [x] 4MB flash config, custom partitions in sdkconfig.defaults
- [x] OTA command handler + ota_task in firmware
- [x] LED_OTA double-blink pattern during download
- [x] Bootloader rollback on failed update (30s watchdog)
- [x] Version field in STATUS reply
- [x] Pi-side `esp-ota` tool (HTTP server + OTA orchestration)
- [x] `esp-fleet ota` subcommand (sequential fleet update)
- [x] USB-flash first device (partition table change)
- [x] End-to-end OTA test

## v0.4 - Adaptive Sampling [DONE]
- [x] On-device CSI wander calculation (coefficient of variation)
- [x] Reduce to 10 pkt/s when idle (3s holdoff)
- [x] Increase to 100 pkt/s on motion detection
- [x] Rate change EVENT notification to Pi via UDP
- [x] ADAPTIVE ON/OFF command (NVS persisted)
- [x] THRESHOLD command for tuning sensitivity (NVS persisted)
- [x] RATE command disables adaptive mode
- [x] adaptive/motion fields in STATUS reply

## v0.5 - BLE Scanning [DONE]
- [x] Enable Bluetooth alongside WiFi (NimBLE, BLE ON/OFF command)
- [x] Periodic BLE advertisement scanning
- [x] Report device MAC, RSSI, name via UDP (`BLE_DATA,<mac>,<rssi>,<type>,<name>`)
- [x] Pi-side BLE device tracking (`esp-ctl ble --track`, dedup, summary table)

## v1.0 - Production Firmware
- [x] mDNS auto-discovery (done in v0.2)
- [x] Watchdog + auto-recovery (done in v0.2)
- [ ] On-device CSI processing (send metrics, not raw)
- [x] Configuration via UDP (`TARGET <ip> [port]`, NVS persisted)
- [x] Comprehensive error handling (watchdog, WiFi reconnect via example_connect)
- [x] `esp-ctl` unified CLI tool (cmd, status, listen, serial, ble, target, profile)

## v1.1 - Passive Sensing & Multi-Sensor
- [x] Sensor ID in data packets (hostname prefix on CSI_DATA, BLE_DATA, EVENT)
- [ ] WiFi probe request capture (`PROBE_DATA,<sensor>,<mac>,<rssi>,<ssid>`)
- [x] Deauth/disassoc frame detection (`ALERT_DATA,<sensor>,<type>,<sender>,<target>,<rssi>`)
- [ ] Multi-sensor BLE correlation in esp-ctl (zone tracking by source sensor)
- [x] BLE alerting (`esp-ctl ble --known`, alert on unknown MACs)
- [x] BLE dwell time tracking (`esp-ctl ble --track` dwell column)
- [x] Timestamped event logging (`esp-ctl listen --timestamp`)

## v1.2 - Profiling & Power Management
- [x] PROFILE command (heap, stack watermarks, CPU runtime stats)
- [x] Chip temperature reporting in STATUS (`temp=` field)
- [ ] Power consumption measurements (per-mode baseline)
- [ ] Deep sleep mode with wake-on-CSI-motion
- [ ] Battery-optimized duty cycling

## Future
- AP+STA config portal (WIFI_MODE_APSTA, captive portal for initial setup)
- ESP-NOW mesh (ESP32-to-ESP32 CSI)
- Multi-channel scanning (hop across WiFi channels)
- RSSI triangulation with 3 sensors (approximate device location)
- BLE device fingerprinting (identify phone models by advertisement patterns)
- Historical presence logging (who was here, when, how long)
- External sensor support (PIR, temp/humidity via GPIO)
- On-device CSI processing (send metrics, not raw)
