Mapped to a shared offline runtime family and usable with a recording or compatible ESP32 CSI stream.
Intended capability
Pilot this intended outcome through the shared Machine vibration family, then validate it against site-specific ground truth: Detects active termite/carpenter-ant/rodent activity inside wall cavities by their vibration signature plus the slow dielectric change of chewed, moisture-conditioned galleries.
This describes the intended outcome. Readiness is shared-family mapped, evidence is class C, and a catalog mapping or recording is not proof of this outcome at a real site.

Bundled recording
A related Frontier scene
This is one recorded vertical scenario. It is not separate validation of every capability in the catalog.
01 The physics
Feeding and head-banging termites and gnawing rodents produce sustained micro-vibrations of the wall substrate (roughly 1-40 Hz envelope band accessible to CSI micro-Doppler), phase-modulating paths reflecting off that wall section, predominantly at night when the baseline is quietest. Over weeks, galleries and the moisture termites import alter the wall's effective eps_r/sigma along those same paths.
02 Shared processing path
Stage 2 micro-Doppler detects recurring nocturnal narrowband vibration anchored (via Stage 1 tap association) to one wall segment -> Stage 3 anomaly manifold scores it against the learned quiet-hours baseline -> Stage 5 NeRF map watches for co-located slow eps_r drift -> Stage 6 CUSUM accumulates evidence over weeks into an 'active infestation' alarm with wall-segment localization.
This is a capability design path. Components may be shared with other catalog entries; it is not presented as a unique algorithm.
03 Validation plan
Own-hardware with a pest-control partner: known-infested vs control wall sections (acoustic-emission probe as ground truth, the industry standard), plus a mechanical shaker injecting calibrated uN-level wall vibrations to establish the detection floor of the ESP32 mesh.
04 Commercial hypothesis
'Continuous termite surveillance between annual inspections' — subscription monitoring for pest-control companies and home-warranty providers, localizing activity to the wall segment before structural damage.
