Changes:
research(R15): RF biometric primitives — 5 environment-invariant features with quantified discriminability (#717)

Catalogues 5 biometric primitives in CSI that survive cross-environment
transfer by physical construction (not just statistical learning), with
quantified discriminability:

Primitive Bits Invariance
Gait stride frequency 5 HIGH
Breathing rate + envelope 5 HIGH
HRV (rate-level only) 4 HIGH at rate, LOW at contour
Body-size RCS frequency response 4 MEDIUM (needs calibration target)
Walking dynamics (limb timing) 7 HIGH (if pose works cross-room)

Composite biometric strength: ~12-15 bits realistic vs 25-bit independence
upper bound. Enough for household + building-scale ID; insufficient for
forensic / city-scale.

R15 strengthens the R14/R3/ADR-105 privacy framework: RF biometric is
PHYSICAL not learned, so the same primitive that enables empathic
appliances is a surveillance primitive that's harder to opt out of than
visual ID. There is no behavioural countermeasure short of jamming
(illegal) or physical alteration (impossible).

Surfaces required amendment to ADR-105 federation protocol:
'The federation aggregator MUST NOT receive any raw per-subject biometric
primitive. It MAY receive aggregated, MERIDIAN-normalised model deltas.
Per-subject primitives stay on-device.'

This becomes the requirements basis for ADR-106 (deferred DP-SGD ADR).

R15 closes the last unaddressed PROGRESS.md research thread. After R15:

  • Closed: 'what RF biometrics exist and how do they invariantise' = answered
  • Open: ADR-106, R6.1 multi-scatterer, R3 physics-informed env prediction,
    R6.2 Fresnel-aware antenna placement

The per-occupant feature surface (R14 V1/V2/V3) is now fully grounded in
physics + constraints; remaining work is implementation, not research.

Composes with every prior thread:

  • R5 saliency: primitive-specific maps
  • R6 Fresnel: physical basis for RCS invariance
  • R7 mincut: defends primitive-level poisoning
  • R10 per-species gait: transfers to per-individual gait biometric
  • R13 NEGATIVE: 5-dB-short wall rules out contour-level HRV
  • R3: embedding space combines 5 primitives
  • R14: all 3 verticals (V1/V2/V3) work with rate-level subset

Honest scope:

  • Bit counts are upper bounds; 30-50% loss to noise/multipath
  • Contour-level HRV not achievable (R13 wall)
  • Walking dynamics 7-bit assumes pose-from-CSI works cross-room (unmeasured)
  • Body-size RCS needs calibration target in new room

Coordination: ticks/tick-14.md, no PROGRESS.md edit.
