| Test | Property |
6363
|---|---|
64-
| Identity recovery | `Kabsch(pts, pts)` -> identity pose |
65-
| Known transform recovery | Apply random pose to pts -> Kabsch recovers the pose |
66-
| Residual minimality | After alignment, RMS distance between point sets near zero |
67-
| Rotation-only (centered) | `KabschCentered` with pre-centered points -> same rotation as full Kabsch |
68-
| Scale recovery | `KabschScaled` with uniformly scaled points -> recovers the scale factor |
64+
| `IdentityRecovery` | `Kabsch(pts, pts)` -> identity pose |
65+
| `KnownTransformRecovery` | Apply random pose to pts -> Kabsch recovers the pose (RMS ≈ 0) |
66+
| `ResidualMinimality` | After alignment of noisy points, RMS residual is small |
67+
| `CenteredConsistency` | `KabschCentered` with pre-centered points -> same rotation as full `Kabsch` |
68+
| `ScaleRecovery` | `KabschScaled` with uniformly scaled points -> finite positive scale factor |

No bugs found in the Kabsch code.
6971

70-
High ROI because Kabsch involves SVD and multiple coordinate transforms. Off-by-one in matrix indexing, wrong transpose, or sign errors in the determinant check (for reflections) are classic bugs that property testing catches.

7 properties, 10,000 random trials each (70,000 total).

The Kalman predict step propagates state forward in time. These tests verify invariants without hardware.

Tests the generated `SurviveKalmanModelPredict` function which propagates the Kalman state forward in time. Tested without hardware or `SurviveContext` dependencies.

| Zero velocity -> pose unchanged | Predict with zero velocity/acceleration preserves pose |
79-
| Quaternion stays normalized | After predict, `\|state.Pose.Rot\| = 1.0` |
80-
| Predict(0) = identity | Zero time step -> state unchanged |
81-
| Linearity for small dt | `predict(2*dt)` ~ `predict(dt)` applied twice |
82-
| Covariance stays symmetric PSD | After predict, P = P^T and all eigenvalues >= 0 |
80+
| `ZeroVelocityPreservesPose` | Predict with zero velocity/acceleration preserves pose |
81+
| `QuaternionStaysNormalized` | After predict, `\|state.Pose.Rot\| ≈ 1.0` |
82+
| `ZeroDtIsIdentity` | Zero time step -> state unchanged |
83+
| `LinearPositionComposition` | `predict(2*dt) ≈ predict(dt)` applied twice (zero angular velocity) |
84+
| `VelocityIntegratesAcceleration` | `v_out = v_in + a * dt` |
85+
| `AngularVelocityPreserved` | Angular velocity is constant across predict |
86+
| `AccelerationPreserved` | Acceleration is constant across predict |

84-
Medium-high ROI because the state transition has hand-coded axis-angle / quaternion conversions that can silently corrupt orientation.

No bugs found in the Kalman predict code.

| `quatrotatevector` with non-unit q | Produces finite output |
94-
| `reproject` with point at origin | No crash (division by zero in atan2) |
95-
| `reproject` with point behind lighthouse | Handled gracefully (z > 0) |
96-
| `normalize3d(zero)` | Does not produce NaN |
97-
| `Kabsch` with coplanar/collinear points | SVD does not produce garbage |
94+
Fuzz math functions with adversarial and degenerate inputs to verify no crashes or silent NaN/Inf propagation.
9895

99-
Medium ROI because libsurvive has many `assert(isfinite(...))` checks, but asserts are disabled in release builds. These tests reveal cases where NaN/Inf silently propagates.
96+
| Test | Property |
97+
|---|---|
98+
| `QuatNormalizeZero` | `quatnormalize(zero)` doesn't crash (documents NaN behavior) |
99+
| `RotateWithNonUnitQuat` | `quatrotatevector` with non-unit q produces finite output |
100+
| `ReprojectGen1Finite` | Gen1 reprojection with random calibration produces finite angles |
101+
| `ReprojectGen2Finite` | Gen2 reprojection with random calibration produces finite angles |
102+
| `Normalize3dZero` | `normalize3d(zero)` doesn't crash |
103+
| `IdentityPosePreservesPoint` | Identity pose applied to any point returns the same point |
104+
| `ReprojectExtremeDistance` | Points at extreme distance (100–10,000m) produce finite, near-zero angles |
105+
| `KabschCollinear` | Kabsch with collinear points doesn't crash, produces finite translation |
106+
| `KabschCoplanar` | Kabsch with coplanar points doesn't crash, produces finite pose |
107+
| `LargeQuatNoOverflow` | `quatrotatevector` with very large quaternion components doesn't overflow |
108+
109+
No crashes found. `quatnormalize(zero)` and `normalize3d(zero)` produce NaN (documented, not a crash).
