Retained for transparency, but blocked from execution because the catalog physics review rejected it.
Intended capability
Document why this proposed outcome is blocked by the reviewed physics: Detection and coarse localization of compressed gas / steam leaks from flanges and fittings — continuously, plant-wide, without ultrasonic survey rounds.
This describes the intended outcome. Readiness is physics limit, evidence is class C, and a catalog mapping or recording is not proof of this outcome at a real site.

Bundled recording
A related Industrial scene
This is one recorded vertical scenario. It is not separate validation of every capability in the catalog.
01 The physics
A high-pressure leak does two physical things in-band: the escaping jet drives broadband mechanical vibration of the pipe/flange (turbulence-induced, with substantial energy below 40Hz reaching the microphone-free micro-Doppler channel), and the turbulent plume creates a fluctuating refractive-index volume that scintillates any RF path crossing it (fast, non-periodic amplitude jitter distinct from human/machine Doppler). Steam plumes add a strong eps_r contrast from water vapor condensation.
02 Shared processing path
Micro-Doppler broadband vibration + path amplitude scintillation statistics (stage 2) -> anomaly manifold trained on the healthy acoustic/scintillation baseline of each pipe rack (stage 3) -> RTI differential imaging to localize which bay the disturbance sits in (stage 4).
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: compressed-air rig venting through calibrated orifices (0.5-3mm) at 2-8 bar between ESP32 nodes; ROC vs leak rate, plume-crossing vs pipe-vibration path ablation; steam test at a boiler blowdown.
04 Commercial hypothesis
24/7 leak watch on every pipe rack for the price of one ultrasonic survey — sold to the process safety lead as 'LDAR that never goes home.'
