 # Changelog
 
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-02-20
+
+### Added
+- **Dual-Threshold Detection:** Logic to capture the start and end of signals, not just the peak.
+- **Signal Smoothing & Noise Filters:** Prevents detections from breaking into fragments and ignores short interference spikes.
+- **Auto-Frequency Calculation:** Automatically adjusts bounding boxes to fit signal frequency ranges tightly.
+
+### Changed
+- **Signal Power Detection:** Switched from raw signal strength to power for improved accuracy.
+- **CLI Workflow:** `Clear` and `Remove` commands now modify files directly (in-place) to avoid redundant copies.
+- **Metadata Logic:** Updated labels to show detection percentages and overhauled internal metadata cleaning.
+- **Viewer UI:** Moved legend outside the plot, added a black background, and adjusted transparency for better spectrogram visibility.
+
+### Fixed
+- Prevented redundant `_annotated` suffixes in file naming patterns.
+- Simplified internal math to increase processing speed and precision.
 All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
 
 The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/) and [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

+"""Transmit a continuous tone through the agent's TX pipeline on a real Pluto.
+
+End-to-end smoke test for the Pluto + Streamer TX path. Drives the same
+``Streamer`` the hub talks to, but in-process with a logging ``FakeWs`` so
+the script is self-contained — no hub required.
+
+Default: 100 kHz baseband tone × 2 450 MHz LO → carrier at 2 450.1 MHz,
+continuous until you Ctrl-C (or the ``--duration`` timer fires). A spectrum
+analyzer tuned to 2 450.1 MHz should show a clean CW spike as long as
+``tx_status: transmitting`` prints.
+
+Usage::
+
+    python3 scripts/pluto_tx_smoke.py                       # auto-discover Pluto
+    python3 scripts/pluto_tx_smoke.py --identifier 192.168.3.1
+    python3 scripts/pluto_tx_smoke.py --frequency 2.4e9 --gain -20 --duration 60
+
+Flags map 1:1 onto the agent's ``radio_config``:
+
+  --identifier   Pluto IP or hostname (omitted → ip:pluto.local).
+  --frequency    TX LO in Hz. Default 2 450 MHz.
+  --gain         Pluto TX gain in dB. Pluto range is ``[-89, 0]``; more negative
+                 = more attenuation = less power. Default -30.
+  --sample-rate  Baseband sample rate. Default 1 MHz.
+  --tone         Baseband tone offset in Hz. Default 100 kHz; set 0 for DC
+                 (unmodulated carrier at exactly --frequency, but Pluto's
+                 LO leakage will dominate).
+  --buffer-size  Complex samples per WS frame. Default 4096.
+  --duration     Stop after this many seconds (0 = run until Ctrl-C).

+Same radio output as ``pluto_tx_smoke.py`` (continuous tone at 2 450.1 MHz),

+handlers in-process. Proves that the hub-driven path behaves identically:

+
+This is the most rigorous check short of pointing the real ``ria-agent stream``
+at a live ria-hub. If a tone appears on the spectrum analyzer here but *not*
+when ria-hub drives it, the fault is above the WS decoder (registration,
+capability gate, TX operator, hub's binary-frame publisher); everything
+downstream of ``ws.recv()`` is this script's code path.

+Parallel signal separation for multi-component frequency-offset signals.
+
+Provides methods to detect and separate overlapping frequency-domain signals
+that occupy the same time window but different frequency bands.
+
+This module implements **spectral peak detection** to identify distinct frequency
+components and split single time-domain annotations into frequency-specific
+sub-annotations.
+
+**Key Design Decisions** (per Codex review):
+
+1. **Complex IQ Support**: Uses `scipy.signal.welch` with `return_onesided=False`
+   for proper complex signal handling. Window length automatically adapts to
+   signal length via `nperseg=min(nfft, len(signal))` to handle bursts <nfft.
+
+2. **Frequency Representation**: Components are detected in **relative** frequency
+   (baseband, centered at 0 Hz). Caller must add RF center_frequency_hz when
+   writing to SigMF annotations. This separation of concerns avoids the frequency
+   context bug where absolute Hz would be meaningless for baseband processing.
+
+3. **Bandwidth Estimation**: Dual strategy avoids -3dB limitations:
+   - Primary: -3dB rolloff for typical narrowband signals
+   - Fallback: Cumulative power (99% like OBW) for wide/OFDM signals
+   - Auto-fallback when -3dB bandwidth is anomalous
+
+4. **Noise Floor**: Auto-estimated via `np.percentile(psd_db, 10)` from data
+   to adapt across hardware (Pluto vs. ThinkRF). User can override if needed.
+
+5. **Filter Sizing (Optional FIR extraction)**: When extracting components,
+   uses Kaiser window FIR with proper stopband specification. Auto-sizes
+   numtaps based on desired transition bandwidth. Includes downsampling
+   guidance for long captures.
+
+6. **CLI Surface**: Single `separate` subcommand for all separation operations.
+   Can be chained after any detector or used standalone on existing annotations.
+
+Example:
+    Two WiFi channels captured simultaneously:
+
+    >>> from ria_toolkit_oss.annotations import find_spectral_components
+    >>> # Detect the two distinct channels (returns relative frequencies)
+    >>> components = find_spectral_components(signal, sampling_rate=20e6)
+    >>> print(f"Found {len(components)} components")
+    Found 2 components
+
+The module is designed to work with detected time-domain annotations,
+allowing splitting of overlapping signals into separate training samples.

+Temporal signal detection and boundary refinement via Hysteresis Thresholding.
+
+Provides methods to detect signal bursts in the time domain by triggering on
+smoothed power peaks and expanding boundaries to capture the full energy envelope.
+
+This module implements a **dual-threshold trigger** to solve the 'chatter'
+problem in noisy environments, ensuring that signal annotations encapsulate
+the entire rise and fall of a burst rather than just the peak.
+
+**Key Design Decisions**:
+
+1. **Hysteresis Logic (Dual-Threshold)**:
+   - **Trigger**: High threshold (`threshold * max_power`) ensures high confidence
+     in signal presence.
+   - **Boundary**: Low threshold (`0.5 * trigger`) allows the annotation to
+     "crawl" outward, capturing the lower-energy start and end of the burst
+     often missed by simple single-threshold detectors.
+
+2. **Temporal Smoothing**: Uses a moving average window (`window_size`) prior
+   - to thresholding. This prevents high-frequency noise spikes from causing
+     fragmented annotations and provides a more stable estimate of the
+     signal's power envelope.
+
+3. **Spectral Profiling**: Once a temporal segment is isolated, the module
+   - performs an automated FFT analysis. It identifies the **90% spectral
+     occupancy** to define the frequency boundaries (`f_min`, `f_max`),
+     allowing the detector to work on narrowband and wideband signals without
+     manual frequency tuning.
+
+4. **Baseband/RF Mapping**: Automatically handles the conversion from
+   - relative FFT bin frequencies to absolute RF frequencies by referencing
+     `recording.metadata["center_frequency"]`.
+
+5. **False Positive Mitigation**: Implements a hard minimum duration check
+   - (10ms) to ignore transient hardware spikes or noise floor fluctuations
+     that do not constitute a valid signal burst.
+
+The module is designed to be the primary "first-pass" detector for pulsed
+waveforms (like ADS-B, Lora, or bursty FSK) before passing them to
+classification or demodulation stages.
