2GT-RichandClaude Opus 5 57d650c159 feat(wireless): reconstruct per-client roaming history from AP logs (v0.23.11-beta)
Closes #105.

RouterOS narrates the whole life of an association in its log — association, every
band or AP change, and the disconnect — each line carrying the signal at that
moment. Nothing else in the platform can see any of it: roaming happens between
polls, so a poll only ever observes where a client ended up, never that it moved.

Sessions are now rebuilt from those lines and shown on the client detail page: the
path across radios, signal at each step, duration, and RouterOS's own disconnect
reason. Sessions averaging six or more roams an hour are flagged, since a client
bouncing between radios is usually a roaming-threshold problem rather than a faulty
client.

No new collection and no new storage. It reads the events already gathered, so it
works retroactively over whatever log history exists.

Two things came out of testing against real logs rather than the samples in the
issue, and both were wrong in ways the samples could not have shown:

  Ordering. RouterOS log timestamps are second-granular, so a reassociation emits
  its disconnect and reconnect inside the same logged second, and collection
  assigns sub-second values in whichever order they were read — observed on a live
  AP as both `.849/.849` and `.096/.097` for the same kind of pair. Sorting on the
  raw timestamp attached the disconnect to the session the connect had just opened,
  so every reassociation reconstructed as a 0-second session while the real one
  disappeared. On one IoT client that was 255 phantom sessions out of 422. Events
  are now ordered by whole second and ties broken by meaning: a disconnect closes
  what came before, a connect opens what comes after. The same client now shows its
  real behaviour — 900s, 840s and 930s sessions, reassociating every 15 minutes.

  Signal sanity. Real logs contain `signal strength 91`. dBm is negative, so a
  positive reading is not a measurement; recording it would draw a client with an
  impossibly perfect signal. Treated as unknown.

21 tests, including the full ping-pong trace quoted in the issue — which the
reconstruction correctly identifies as flapping — plus both timestamp-collision
shapes seen in production.

2GT-RichandClaude Opus 5 5071e1f512 chore(dev): seedable CAPsMAN fixture so managed-wireless paths can be tested (v0.23.8-beta)
Two bugs shipped in the last three releases because CAPsMAN code was written and
"verified" against a fleet that contains no CAPsMAN. Neither was reachable by unit
tests, because both lived in SQL: a join that could never match, and a WHERE clause
that filtered out every managed radio before the analysis ran. Both were found by
the reporter, in production, after release.

The fix is not another test of the pure functions — those were already right. It is
to stop the local environment from being unrepresentative.

scripts/seed-capsman-fixture.sql builds a deployment shaped like a real one:

  - the controller is a ROUTER with no radios of its own, so anything keyed on
    device_type = 'wireless_ap' misses it
  - CAP interfaces carry NULL frequency, SSID and band, because the controller owns
    the configuration — the exact condition that removed them from Channel Usage
  - the controller mirrors every CAP interface locally, so a CAP's radio MAC
    legitimately appears on two devices — the condition behind the misattribution
  - channels exist only as "<freq>/<phy>/<control-positions>", never a plain number
  - the radios are arranged to produce one partial overlap and one co-channel pair,
    so interference classification has something real to get wrong

Running it against v0.23.7 confirms the fix shipped blind two commits ago actually
works: six managed radios now group under the controller, the controller appears in
the location selector, the standalone group holds only the genuinely standalone AP,
5680/ax/eCee/D resolves to 80 MHz, client counts come from the controller where the
CAP rows read zero, and the controller's mirror interfaces do not double-count.

Documented in docs/architecture.md, including the point that when a report arrives
with device output attached, that output is the most valuable thing in it and
belongs in the fixture.

2GT-RichandClaude Opus 5 e10f7ba568 docs: split reference material into docs/, keeping the README a shop window (v0.23.4-beta)
Documentation only — no functional change.

The README was carrying two jobs for two different readers. Its Reference section was
the single largest block at 154 lines, and nobody deciding whether to try the project
reads an InfluxDB environment variable table — while the people who need it were
scrolling past the pitch to reach it.

Split along that seam: anything you would read before installing stays in the README,
anything you would read after installing moves to docs/.

  README.md              430 lines   sell, prove, install, feature overview
  docs/change-guard.md   193         safety system, settings, guard states
  docs/architecture.md   116         data stores, polling model, module layout
  docs/capsman.md         84         role model, radio matching, current limits
  docs/alerting.md        81         rules, channels, webhooks, maintenance windows
  docs/api.md             77         scoped tokens, preflight, scripting
  docs/configuration.md   76         environment, secrets, rotation, TLS
  docs/sso-oidc.md        71         identity provider setup and behaviour
  docs/README.md          20         index

In-repo rather than a documentation site, deliberately. A change to Change Guard's
semantics can edit its documentation in the same commit as the code — which, given how
often that behaviour has been refined recently, is the property that actually matters.
A static site generator can point at docs/ later without moving a file.

The Change Guard pitch stays on the front page: the problem framing, the verified
recovery timeline and the quoted prediction warning are what make someone care, and a
reference page is the wrong home for them.

Three sections are new rather than relocated, written because the split exposed the gaps:

  - architecture.md did not exist. It now records why there are three data stores, the
    polling cadences, and which modules are pure functions over a snapshot and why.
  - Scoped API tokens shipped without usage documentation. api.md shows preflighting a
    change from a script and reading the guard block afterwards.
  - change-guard.md records why ip-on-bridge-port is informational rather than critical
    on RouterOS 7 — reasoning that previously existed only in a commit message.

Every internal anchor and cross-file link verified to resolve, including anchors into
other documents. No content dropped, checked by keyword comparison against the previous
single file.
