This is RuView for July 31st, 2026.

Today's activity centers on one new capability: a coherent wideband RF tomography crate, and the machinery built around it to document and maintain it.

PR 1487 introduces "wifi densepose sar" — a research crate implementing the math behind handheld, through-wall RF imaging using synthetic-aperture antenna trajectories. It's tracked as architecture decision record 283, and the description notes it was motivated by comparing this codebase against a competitor's radar…

Built directly on top of that, PR 1489 scaffolds a MetaHarness for the new crate — documentation and review tooling generated the same way as the existing RuView and HomeCore harnesses. To make that generator usable locally, PR 1488 vendors the MetaHarness source itself as a git submodule, joining the repo's…

The second theme is publishing hygiene. PR 1492 fixes two crates.io blockers — a missing license field on the point-cloud crate and an unpinned version requirement on the "nvsim server" dependency — both found while actually trying to publish. PR 1484 fixes a real-world model conversion bug: safetensors files padded…

Rounding out the day, PR 1486 bumps the rufield submodule for a…
