hermes_vision.calibrate collects 20 varied checkerboard views from the camera topic
(rejecting repeats of a pose, which constrain nothing), solves with OpenCV and writes
the camera_info YAML camera_ros loads, named with the resolution as it expects.
Tested: the solver recovers a known synthetic camera (focal length within 1%), the
YAML round-trips, and real board detection works on a rendered board. Not yet run on
the real camera: it needs someone holding a board in front of it, with the focus set.
docs/checkerboard-9x6.png is a 10x7-square board that can be shown on a screen.

SFace embeddings on top of YuNet's landmarks. Nothing is stored until someone is
enrolled with `python -m hermes_vision.people enroll NAME`; only 128-number
embeddings are kept, never images, in a 0600 JSON file under a 0700 directory,
written atomically. `list` and `forget` manage it. The detector node puts a
recognised name in Detection2D.id (empty if unknown) and picks up database
changes without a restart.
Checked with a throwaway database on the burst frames: eight of nine unenrolled
frames were recognised, down to side profiles (similarity 0.52-0.66), the miss
being a head tipped back at 0.34 against the 0.363 threshold, and an unrelated
photo scored 0.16 and stayed unknown.

hermes_vision wraps OpenCV YuNet (Haar fallback) as a plain module plus a node
that publishes /vision/faces as vision_msgs/Detection2DArray. It replaces the
standalone detect_faces.py. pi/robot-env.sh puts the Raspberry Pi libcamera fork
ahead of ROS's own copy, the venv's OpenCV 4.10 ahead of the apt one, and fixes
the ROS domain and subnet-only discovery. camera_ros 0.7.0 now runs against the
fork and publishes raw and compressed images.
The stock wm8960-soundcard overlay fails on Ubuntu 24.04 with "No MCLK
configured": it hangs the clock on the sound card's codec link, but the codec
driver reads mclk from its own node. hermes-wm8960.dts adds it there, and
capture opens at 8-48 kHz. The microphones still read digital zeros; see
CONTEXT.md for what has been ruled out.
