|  1. Software Validation: COMPLETE. Telemetry ingest, quality scoring, event de-duplication,    |
|     forensic event batching, crash recovery, and export systems are fully verified.             |
|  2. Physical Validation: PENDING. Real physical dynamics, engine vibration, cellular handover,   |
|     and thermal throttling require mounting the device to a motorcycle for a 30-60 min test.   |

2. Forensic Event Architecture & Taxonomy

The forensic system captures 40 standard event categories across critical system boundaries without blocking the real-time 20Hz telemetry loop:

flowchart TD
    A[Hardware Sensors\nGPS / IMU / Compass] --> B[TelemetryService 20Hz]
    B --> C[TelemetryValidator]
    C -->|Validated Sample + QualityScore| D[FieldTestLogger]
    D -->|State Machine Analysis| E{Threshold Cross / State Change?}
    E -->|Yes| F[Bounded Prioritized Queue\nCap: 1000 Events]
    E -->|Duplicate State| G[Accumulate Max Excursions]
    F -->|Flush Every 3s| H[(SQLite Database\nfield_test_events)]
    F -->|Live Stream| I[In-Memory Circular Buffer\n500 Events -> UI Timeline]

Forensic Event Categorization (36 Enum Types)

Lifecycle & Session: RIDE_STARTED, RIDE_STOPPED, APP_PAUSED, APP_RESUMED, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_STARTED, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_STOPPED
GPS Pipeline: GPS_STALE, GPS_RECOVERED, GPS_JUMP_REJECTED, GPS_ACCURACY_DEGRADED, GPS_INITIALIZED, GPS_ERROR
IMU & Motion Pipeline: IMU_SATURATION, IMU_RECOVERED, SENSOR_INITIALIZED, SENSOR_ERROR, CALIBRATION_STARTED, CALIBRATION_COMPLETED
Telemetry Heartbeat: TELEMETRY_GAP, TELEMETRY_RECOVERED, TIMESTAMP_ERROR, SAMPLE_ACCEPTED, SAMPLE_SUSPECT, SAMPLE_REJECTED
Dynamics & Performance: ACCELERATION_EVENT, BRAKING_EVENT, PERFORMANCE_RUN_STARTED, PERFORMANCE_RUN_COMPLETED, PERFORMANCE_RUN_REJECTED
Database & Storage: DATABASE_FLUSH, DATABASE_QUEUE_WARNING, DATABASE_QUEUE_OVERFLOW, DATABASE_RECOVERY
Road Safety & Alerts: ROAD_ALERT_RECEIVED, TTS_ANNOUNCED, AUDIO_FAILURE, NETWORK_ERROR
Export Subsystem: EXPORT_STARTED, EXPORT_COMPLETED, EXPORT_FAILED

3. Event De-duplication Strategy

High-frequency 20Hz telemetry can emit 1,200 samples per minute. To prevent database bloating and log inundation, stateful de-duplication was implemented:

Outage / Fault State	Transition In (Entry)	Sustained Outage Behavior	Transition Out (Exit / Recovery)
GPS Fix Staleness (>2000ms at >3 MPH)	Emits 1 `GPS_STALE` warning with initial age and speed	Accumulates `maxGpsAgeMs`, `minAccuracy`, `maxAccuracy` silently	Emits 1 `GPS_RECOVERED` info event with total outage duration, max GPS age, and speed
GPS Accuracy Degradation (>35m)	Emits 1 `GPS_ACCURACY_DEGRADED` warning	Updates worst accuracy tracker	Emits 1 `GPS_RECOVERED` info event when precision drops below `\le 15\text{m}`
IMU Saturation (`>120\text{ m/s}^2`)	Emits 1 `IMU_SATURATION` error	Prevents redundant event generation	Emits 1 `IMU_RECOVERED` info event upon returning to normal dynamic range
Telemetry Gap (`>2000\text{ms}`)	Emits 1 `TELEMETRY_GAP` warning with delta time	Tracks max gap length	Emits 1 `TELEMETRY_RECOVERED` info event with elapsed gap seconds

4. Database Schema & Migration (Version 5)

Drift database upgraded cleanly to schemaVersion = 5 with optimized B-tree indices:

-- Forensic Events Table
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS field_test_events (
    id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    ride_id INTEGER REFERENCES rides(id),

5. Forensic Export Bundle Specification

The export subsystem (field_test_export_service.dart) produces a self-contained forensic archive:

field_test_events.csv:

7. Rider Field-Testing Guide (Physical Real-World Test)

To execute the physical validation test on your motorcycle:

Mount Phone: Secure phone in a rigid motorcycle mount (RAM mount, Quad Lock, or stem mount).
Launch Application: Open MotorSignal and verify GPS has locked (Green dot / Accuracy \le 10\text{m}).
Arm Field Test Mode: Go to Settings \to Field Test Mode and ensure the switch is ON (Logger Status displays ARMED).
Start Ride: Tap Start Ride on the main dashboard.
Ride Without Interaction (30–60 Minutes):
- Perform a mix of stoplight urban riding, open cruising, and corners.
- You do NOT need to look at or touch the phone during the ride.
Finish Ride: At the end of your trip, tap Finish Ride.
Inspect Forensic Report:
- Go to Settings \to Field Test Mode \to View Reports.
- Review your Ride Quality Score, Sensor Health, Performance Runs, and Event Timeline.
- Tap the Share/Export button in the AppBar to export the complete ZIP package (field_test_events.csv, field_test_session.json, ride.gpx).
