Complete RETINASolver integration with comprehensive testing

[jonnyspicer]

Closes #22

Summary

• Updated 3lips to align with RETINAsolver's recent coordinate system changes
• Migrated tracking system from ECEF to ENU coordinates using direct LLA↔ENU conversions
• Imported Geometry functions directly from RETINAsolver to eliminate code duplication
• Maintained full API compatibility while switching internal coordinate system

Key Changes

Phase 1: Import Geometry from RETINAsolver

• Replaced local Geometry implementation with direct import from RETINAsolver
• Added robust error handling and RETINA_SOLVER_PATH environment variable support
• Eliminates code duplication and ensures consistency with telemetry solver

Phase 2: Create ENU Coordinate System Models

• Created create_enu_position_measurement_model() for Stone Soup ENU position measurements
• Created create_enu_constant_velocity_model() and create_enu_constant_acceleration_model()
• Replaced ECEF-based models with ENU equivalents for tracking system

Phase 3: Update StoneSoupTracker to ENU

• Converted entire tracking system from ECEF to ENU coordinate system
• Added Adelaide reference point (-34.9286°, 138.5999°, 0.0m) for ENU transformations
• Updated detection conversion pipeline to use Geometry.lla2enu() transformations
• Modified track prediction and association to work in ENU space

Phase 4: Update Track Output for ENU→LLA Conversion

• Added ENU reference point storage (ref_lat, ref_lon, ref_alt) to Track class
• Updated get_position_lla() method to convert ENU coordinates back to LLA
• Modified to_dict() method to ensure frontend receives LLA coordinates
• Maintains API compatibility while using ENU internally

Phase 5: Update Configuration for ENU

• Updated .env environment variables from ECEF to ENU naming conventions
• Changed TRACKER_INITIAL_POS_UNCERTAINTY_ECEF_M → TRACKER_INITIAL_POS_UNCERTAINTY_ENU_M
• Changed TRACKER_INITIAL_VEL_UNCERTAINTY_ECEF_MPS → TRACKER_INITIAL_VEL_UNCERTAINTY_ENU_MPS
• Modified event.py to use new ENU configuration parameters

Phase 6 & 7: Clean Up and Testing

• Applied ruff linting and formatting fixes across codebase
• Verified all 54 tests pass (47 event + 7 integration tests)
• Left ellipsoid localization algorithms in ECEF coordinate system (by design)
• Ensured no breaking changes to existing API interfaces

Technical Details

Coordinate System Migration

• Before: LLA → ECEF → ENU → ECEF → LLA (with intermediate ECEF storage)
• After: LLA → ENU → LLA (direct conversion using reference point)
• Reference Point: Adelaide coordinates serve as ENU origin for all transformations
• API Compatibility: Frontend continues to receive LLA coordinates as expected

Code Architecture

• Import Strategy: Direct import from RETINAsolver eliminates code duplication
• Environment Setup: Uses RETINA_SOLVER_PATH for flexible deployment configurations
• Error Handling: Comprehensive error messages for missing dependencies
• Backward Compatibility: Localization algorithms continue using ECEF where appropriate

Testing

• Unit Tests: All 47 event unit tests pass with proper environment configuration
• Integration Tests: All 7 integration tests verify end-to-end functionality
• Manual Verification: Track creation, ENU reference points, and coordinate conversion tested
• Linting: All pre-commit hooks pass (ruff, mypy, bandit, semgrep, safety, trivy)

Configuration Changes

Projects using this update should ensure:

• RETINA_SOLVER_PATH environment variable points to RETINAsolver directory
• .env files use new ENU variable names (migration handled automatically)
• Reference point coordinates (MAP_LATITUDE, MAP_LONGITUDE) are properly configured

PR Review for RETINASolver Integration

I've completed a comprehensive review of this RETINASolver integration PR. This is a substantial addition with 3306 lines across 19 files.

Todo List:

• Read repository guidelines (CLAUDE.md)
• Review core integration files (API, algorithm implementation)
• Analyze algorithm implementation quality
• Review test coverage and structure
• Check Docker configuration changes
• Evaluate test infrastructure and scripts
• Provide comprehensive review feedback

Overall Assessment

Strengths:

• ✅ Comprehensive Testing: Excellent test coverage with unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end validation
• ✅ Clean Integration: RETINASolver is properly integrated into the existing 3lips architecture
• ✅ Robust Error Handling: Good error handling and validation in the core algorithm
• ✅ Docker Integration: Well-configured Docker setup for testing environments

Areas for Improvement:

Core Implementation Issues

1. Code Quality Violations (api/api.py:73-74)

{"name": "RETINA Solver", "id": "retina-solver"},

• ✅ Clean integration into existing localization options
• ✅ Follows naming conventions consistently

2. Algorithm Implementation (RETINASolverLocalisation.py)

Issues:

• Line 63: Debug print statements should be removed or made conditional
• Line 65: Error print statements could be more structured
• Lines 3-4: Hard-coded path addition is fragile - should use relative imports or environment variables

Recommendations:

# Instead of:
print(f"RETINASolver result for {target}: {result}")

# Use structured logging:
if verbose:
    logger.info(f"RETINASolver result for {target}: {result}")

3. Event Integration (event.py:17, 110, 242-243)

• ✅ Clean integration following existing patterns
• ✅ Proper error handling for invalid localisation IDs

Test Quality Analysis

Strengths:

• Comprehensive Mocking: Proper mocking of RETINASolver dependencies
• Edge Case Coverage: Tests handle insufficient detections, errors, multiple targets
• Clear Test Structure: Well-organized test classes with good setup methods

Issues:

• test_retina_solver_localisation.py:6-11: Mock setup is repeated across multiple test files - consider a shared fixture
• Over-testing: Some tests are very granular (e.g., testing exact detection data conversion) when integration tests would be more valuable

Docker Configuration

docker-compose-e2e-test.yml:

• ✅ Clean separation of test environment
• ✅ Proper network configuration
• ⚠️ Line 44: Hard-coded environment variable LOCALISATION_ALGORITHM=retina-solver should be configurable

Test Infrastructure

run_e2e_test.sh:

• ✅ Comprehensive prerequisite checking
• ✅ Good error messaging and cleanup
• ⚠️ Lines 15-20: Hard-coded directory paths - should be more flexible for different deployment environments

Repository Guidelines Compliance

Per CLAUDE.md requirements:

❌ Comments Policy Violation: Several files contain unnecessary comments that should be removed:

• RETINASolverLocalisation.py:10 - Docstring is acceptable, but line comments should be minimal
• Various test files have excessive comments

❌ Code Minimization: Some functions could be more concise:

• RETINASolverLocalisation.py:34-44 could be simplified with helper functions

✅ Testing Requirements: Excellent compliance with testing requirements
✅ Architectural Patterns: Follows existing 3lips patterns well

Security Considerations

• ✅ No hardcoded secrets or sensitive data
• ✅ Proper input validation in the algorithm
• ✅ Safe error handling without exposing internal details

Performance Considerations

• ⚠️ RETINASolverLocalisation.py:32: Taking only first 3 detections with [:3] - consider if this is optimal or if there should be selection logic for best 3 detections

Final Recommendations

High Priority:

1. Remove debug print statements or make them conditional based on a verbose flag
2. Replace hard-coded path additions with proper import mechanisms
3. Reduce unnecessary comments per repository guidelines

Medium Priority:

1. Consider extracting common mock setup into shared fixtures
2. Make Docker environment variables more configurable
3. Add more structured logging instead of print statements

Low Priority:

1. Consider more sophisticated detection selection logic beyond first 3
2. Simplify some overly verbose test assertions

Summary

This is a well-implemented integration with excellent test coverage. The code follows 3lips architectural patterns and provides robust error handling. Main issues are around code style (comments, debug prints) and some hard-coded configurations. The testing approach is comprehensive and validates the integration thoroughly.

Recommendation: Approve with minor modifications to address the high-priority issues listed above.

Latest Update: Fixed Ellipsoid Visibility Issues

Problem

Ellipsoids were not appearing on the Cesium map visualization due to several integration issues preventing RETINASolver from working correctly with the association pipeline.

Root Cause Analysis

1. Association Threshold Too Low: Only 1-2 radars were associating (need 3 for ellipsoids)
2. Container Networking Issue: adsb2dd couldn't reach localhost:5001 (resolved to container itself)
3. Incorrect Config Field: RETINASolver tried to access non-existent config["frequency"] field
4. Wrong Function Signature: RETINASolver function didn't accept max_iterations/convergence_threshold params

Fixes Applied

• Association threshold: Increased from 10m to 100m enabling all 3 radars to associate successfully
• Container networking: Translate localhost:5001 → synthetic-adsb-test:5001 for adsb2dd access
• Config field access: Fixed config["frequency"] → config["capture"]["fc"]
• Function parameters: Removed unsupported parameters from solve_position_velocity_3d() call
• Debug logging: Added comprehensive logging for association and RETINASolver processing

Results

✅ All 3 radars now associate successfully with distances like 12.020, 8.939, 26.484 meters
✅ RETINASolver processes 3-radar associations and generates position/velocity estimates
✅ Map visualization shows active tracks:

• Active Tracks: 2 (1 ADS-B + 1 Radar-derived)
• Both track types visible on Cesium map with proper velocity data
• Track ages shown in scan units (processing cycles)

The system now works end-to-end with ellipsoids/tracks visible on the map, demonstrating successful RETINASolver integration for multi-static passive radar target localization.
