docs(changelog): record this cycle's behavior-changing fixes (ruvnet#932)

Per the CLAUDE.md pre-merge checklist (item 5, "Add entry under
[Unreleased]"), several recently-merged PRs landed without CHANGELOG
entries. Backfilling the user/operator-facing ones — most importantly the
MAT triage safety fix:

- ruvnet#926 (Security/safety): survivor with a heartbeat never triaged Deceased
- ruvnet#918: per-node HA devices report each node's own presence/motion
- ruvnet#919: actionable --model load diagnostic (refs ruvnet#894)
- ruvnet#920: --export-rvf no longer silently produces a placeholder model
- ruvnet#929 (Security): bearer scheme matched case-insensitively (RFC 6750)

CI-internal fixes (ruvnet#925 rust-cache, ruvnet#930 SAST) are intentionally omitted —
they don't change product behavior. Docs-only.

 - **MQTT multi-node deployments now create one Home-Assistant device per node — closes #898.** After the #872 MQTT wiring landed, the JSON→`VitalsSnapshot` bridge hard-coded a single `node_id` (the MQTT client id) and the publisher used a single `OwnedDiscoveryBuilder`, so every physical node collapsed into one device (`identifiers:["wifi_densepose_wifi-densepose-1"]`), contradicting the "one device per node" docs. The bridge now emits one snapshot per node in the sensing update's `nodes[]` (each with its own `node_id` + RSSI, falling back to a single aggregate snapshot for wifi/simulate sources), and the publisher derives a per-node builder (`OwnedDiscoveryBuilder::for_node`) that publishes discovery + availability lazily on first sight of each `node_id` and routes state to per-node topics — yielding N distinct HA devices with per-node availability/LWT. Unit-tested (distinct nodes → distinct `wifi_densepose_<node>` identifiers); 71 MQTT tests pass.
 - **Person count no longer pinned to 1 — addresses #803.** The aggregate occupancy reported by the sensing server was derived from `smoothed_person_score`, an EMA-smoothed *activity* score (amplitude variance / motion / spectral energy). That score saturates near a single occupant — one moving person maxes it out — so it cannot discriminate occupancy *count* and stayed clamped at 1 across S3/C6 and the Python/Docker/Rust servers. Meanwhile the count-aware per-node estimates the ESP32 paths already compute (firmware `n_persons`, and the DynamicMinCut `corr_persons`) were stashed in `NodeState::prev_person_count` and then **discarded** by the aggregator (same dead-wiring class as #872). The aggregator now takes `max(activity_count, node_max)` via a unit-tested `aggregate_person_count` helper, so a node positively estimating 2–3 occupants is surfaced instead of overwritten. The fix can only ever *raise* the count when a node reports more people, so the single-occupant case is provably never inflated (regression-guarded by test). **Second half:** the pure-CSI per-node path itself clamped its own estimate — the DynamicMinCut occupancy (`estimate_persons_from_correlation`, 0–3) was mapped to a score via `corr_persons / 3.0`, putting 2 people at 0.667, *just under* the 0.70 up-threshold of `score_to_person_count`, so the per-node count never climbed past 1 (so `node_max` was also stuck at 1 for CSI-only nodes). Replaced it with a threshold-aligned `corr_persons_to_score` mapping (1→0.40, 2→0.74, 3→0.96) whose steady state round-trips back to the same count through the EMA + hysteresis, while still gating transient noise. A convergence test replays the exact EMA loop to prove min-cut=2 now reports 2 (and documents that the old `/3.0` mapping reported 1). Full multi-person accuracy still depends on the underlying estimator quality; this removes the two server-side clamps that masked it. 586 sensing-server tests pass.
 - **MQTT publisher now actually runs (`--mqtt`) — closes #872.** The `--mqtt*` flags were defined only in `cli::Args` (dead code, referenced nowhere) while the binary parses a *separate* `main::Args` with no mqtt fields, and `main.rs` never started the `mqtt::` publisher — so MQTT/Home-Assistant integration was completely unwired (`--mqtt` errored as an unexpected argument, and even with the Docker image's `--features mqtt` build the publisher never ran). Earlier attempts chased a Docker *rebuild*; the real cause was disconnected *code*. Extracted the flags into a shared `cli::MqttArgs` (`#[command(flatten)]` into both structs), spawn the publisher on `--mqtt`, and bridge the JSON sensing broadcast into the typed `VitalsSnapshot` stream with a defensive `serde_json::Value` mapping. Verified end-to-end against `mosquitto`: 20 HA auto-discovery entities + live state (presence/person-count/…). 577 (default) / 580 (`--features mqtt`) tests pass.
+- **Mass Casualty triage never reports a survivor with a heartbeat as Deceased (safety) — PR #926.** Both triage paths in `wifi-densepose-mat` — `TriageCalculator::calculate` (`combine_assessments(Absent, None) ⇒ Deceased`) and the detection path `EnsembleClassifier::determine_triage` (`!has_breathing && !has_movement ⇒ Deceased`) — ignored the `heartbeat` field. A survivor with a detectable **pulse** but no sensed breathing/movement (respiratory arrest — the most time-critical *savable* state, Immediate/Red) was therefore reported **Deceased (Black)** and deprioritized for rescue. The domain path was in fact only reachable *because* a heartbeat made `has_vitals()` true, so every "Deceased" was a live person. Both paths now escalate to **Immediate** when a heartbeat is present; total absence of breathing, movement *and* heartbeat is unchanged (domain → `Unknown`, ensemble → `Deceased`). 2 safety regression tests; full MAT suite (177) green.
+- **Per-node Home-Assistant devices now report each node's *own* presence/motion — PR #918.** After the one-device-per-node fan-out landed, the MQTT bridge still applied the *room-level aggregate* `classification` to every node, so in a multi-node deployment a node watching an empty corner inherited another node's "present" (and `motion_level: "absent"` was mis-mapped to full motion). Each node in the broadcast `nodes[]` already carries its own `classification`; the bridge now reads it per node (extracted into a testable `vitals_snapshots_from_sensing_json`), keeping vitals + person count room-level. 4 unit tests.
+- **`--model` gives an actionable diagnostic instead of a cryptic magic error — PR #919 (refs #894).** Passing a HuggingFace `ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained` file (`model.safetensors` / `model-q4.bin` / `model.rvf.jsonl`) to `--model` produced `invalid magic at offset 0: … got 0x77455735`, then a silent fall back to heuristics. The load-failure path now detects the format (safetensors / quantized blob / JSONL manifest) and explains that those files are a different format **and** encoder architecture than the RVF binary container the progressive loader expects, pointing to #894. Pure `diagnose_model_load_error` + 4 tests.
+- **`--export-rvf` no longer silently produces a placeholder model — PR #920.** The `--export-rvf` handler ran *before* `--train`/`--pretrain` and unconditionally wrote placeholder sine-wave weights, so the documented `--train … --export-rvf <path>` workflow short-circuited to a fake model and never trained (while printing "exported successfully"). It now emits the placeholder **container-format demo** only standalone (with a clear warning), and falls through to real training when `--train`/`--pretrain` is set; docs point to `--save-rvf` for the real model. 3 guard tests.

 ### Security
 - **ESP32 OTA upload now fails closed when no PSK is provisioned** (#596 audit finding — critical, **breaking change for unprovisioned nodes**). `ota_check_auth()` previously returned `true` when `s_ota_psk[0] == '\0'`, so a freshly-flashed node would accept attacker-controlled firmware over plain HTTP on port 8032 from any host on the WiFi. No Secure Boot V2, no signed-image verification — a single LAN call could brick or backdoor a node. The fix rejects every OTA upload until a PSK is written to NVS (the OTA HTTP server still starts so operators can run `provision.py --ota-psk <hex>` over USB-CDC without reflashing). **Operators affected**: any deployment that relied on the unauthenticated OTA endpoint working out of the box now needs to provision a PSK before subsequent OTA pushes will succeed. Boot-time `ESP_LOGW` makes the new posture visible.
+- **Bearer-token auth accepts the scheme case-insensitively (RFC 6750) — PR #929.** `require_bearer` parsed the `Authorization` header with a case-sensitive `strip_prefix("Bearer ")`, so a *correct* `RUVIEW_API_TOKEN` sent as `Authorization: bearer <token>` (or `BEARER`, or with extra whitespace) was rejected with a confusing 401 — needless friction when enabling auth. The scheme is now matched with `eq_ignore_ascii_case` (per RFC 6750 §2.1 / RFC 7235 §2.1); the token compare is unchanged — still exact and constant-time (`ct_eq`) — so a wrong token or a non-Bearer scheme (`Basic …`) still returns 401. Audited the surrounding code while here: `ct_eq` correctly rejects length mismatch (no prefix-auth bypass) and the middleware fails closed. New `accepts_case_insensitive_bearer_scheme` test.
 - **Path-traversal vulnerabilities patched in five sensing-server endpoints** (closes #615 — critical). New `wifi_densepose_sensing_server::path_safety::safe_id()` enforces `[A-Za-z0-9._-]` only (no leading `.`, max 64 chars) before any user-controlled identifier reaches a `format!()` building a filesystem path. Applied at:
   - `POST /api/v1/recording/start` (`recording.rs` — `session_name`)
   - `GET /api/v1/recording/download/:id` (`recording.rs` — `id`)
