+# macOS USB Consumer Implementation Plan (Plan 3a of 3)
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Make the macOS `AVLiveBody` app consume the iPhone's USB stream — connect via `usbmuxd`, demux `AVLiveWire` frames, render the 91-joint skeleton on screen, and HEVC-decode the video — without the Multi-HMR dense-mesh step (deferred to Plan 3b).
+
+**Architecture:** A new `USBSkeletonConsumer` runs the blocking `UnixMuxTransport`/`USBClient` read loop on a dedicated background thread, feeds bytes through `StreamDemuxer`, and republishes `.skeleton` frames as `@Published` ARKit-shaped body frames plus a `.video` callback. `Skeleton3DRenderer`'s long-standing `// TODO: render yellow ARKit markers` (line 138) is completed so the 91-joint USB skeleton actually draws. A new `VideoDecoder` turns `.video` `VideoPayload`s into `CVPixelBuffer`s via `VTDecompressionSession`.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Swift 5 (language mode v5), macOS 15, RealityKit, VideoToolbox, `AVLiveWire` (already a dependency of `AV-Live-Body`), `XCTest`.
+
+**Companion spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-18-iphone-usb-body-link-design.md`
+**Prerequisites:** Plan 1 (transport, merged), Plan 2 (iOS capture, merged).
+**Out of scope:** `MultiHMRCoreML`, `BodyFusion`, dense-mesh rendering — Plan 3b, gated on a confirmed CoreML Multi-HMR `.mlpackage`.
+
+---
+
+## Verification
+
+`AV-Live-Body` is a macOS target — it builds on the host:
+
+```bash
+cd launcher/AV-Live-Body && swift build
+cd launcher/AV-Live-Body && swift test
+```
+
+Each task ends with `swift build` (and `swift test` where a test was
+added) succeeding.

+| `launcher/AV-Live-Body/Sources/AVLiveBody/BodyView.swift` | MODIFY. Thread the consumer into `Skeleton3DRenderer.attach` |
+
+---
+
+## Task 1: USBSkeletonConsumer
+
+`USBSkeletonConsumer` owns the blocking USB read loop on a background
+`Thread`. It reconnects on drop. It republishes `.skeleton` frames as
+`ArkitOSCListener.ArkitBodyFrame` (the existing 91-joint body type, so
+`Skeleton3DRenderer` can consume them with no new type) and forwards
+`.video` payloads via a callback. It is **not** `@MainActor`: the loop
+runs off-main and hops to main only for `@Published` writes — the same
+pattern as `ArkitOSCListener`.

+## Task 2: VideoDecoder
+
+`VideoDecoder` turns `.video` `VideoPayload`s into `CVPixelBuffer`s. A
+keyframe payload carries the HEVC parameter sets prepended (each as a
+4-byte big-endian length prefix + NAL bytes — the format Plan 2's iOS
+`VideoEncoder` produces); the decoder builds its
+`CMVideoFormatDescription` from those, then decodes subsequent access
+units.

+## Task 3: Render the 91-joint USB skeleton
+
+`Skeleton3DRenderer` already subscribes to a 91-joint ARKit body
+publisher into `lastArkit` but never draws it — `Skeleton3DRenderer.swift:138`
+is `// TODO: render yellow ARKit markers from lastArkit in update()`.
+Complete it: draw the 91 joints as small yellow spheres.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `launcher/AV-Live-Body/Sources/AVLiveBody/Skeleton3DRenderer.swift`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Read the renderer**
+
+Read `Skeleton3DRenderer.swift` fully. Note: `PersonEntities` (the
+per-pid entity struct), `lastArkit: [Int: ArkitOSCListener.ArkitBodyFrame]`,
+`makePerson(pid:parent:)`, the `update(frames:)` 30 fps tick, and the
+RealityKit space conversion used for MediaPipe joints
+(`SIMD3(k.x, -k.y, -k.z)`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add 91 ARKit marker entities to `PersonEntities`**
+
+In the `PersonEntities` struct, add a field:
+
+```swift
+        var arkitMarkers: [ModelEntity]   // 91 yellow ARKit joint spheres
+```
+
+In `makePerson(pid:parent:)`, after the hand spheres are built, create
+91 yellow marker spheres (reuse the `jointRadius`-sized sphere mesh, a
+yellow `SimpleMaterial`), parent them to `root`, start them disabled,
+and include `arkitMarkers:` in the returned `PersonEntities(...)`:
+
+```swift
+        let arkitMat = SimpleMaterial(
+            color: .systemYellow, roughness: 0.6, isMetallic: false)
+        var arkitMarkers: [ModelEntity] = []
+        arkitMarkers.reserveCapacity(91)
+        for _ in 0..<91 {

+            e.isEnabled = false
+            root.addChild(e)
+            arkitMarkers.append(e)
+        }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Draw the ARKit markers each tick**
+
+Replace the line `// TODO: render yellow ARKit markers from lastArkit in update()`
+(`Skeleton3DRenderer.swift:138`) — leave the comment removed — and add,
+at the end of `update(frames:)` (after the existing per-pid loop), a
+call to a new private method `applyArkit()`. Then add the method:
+
+```swift
+    /// Draw the 91-joint ARKit/USB skeletons as yellow joint markers.
+    /// ARKit joints are world-space metric; convert to RealityKit
+    /// space (x, y, z) -> (x, -y, -z) like the MediaPipe path.
+    private func applyArkit() {
+        for (pid, entities) in persons {
+            guard let frame = lastArkit[pid] else {
+                for m in entities.arkitMarkers { m.isEnabled = false }
+                continue
+            }
+            let n = min(91, entities.arkitMarkers.count,
+                        frame.joints.count)
+            for i in 0..<n {
+                let marker = entities.arkitMarkers[i]
+                if frame.hasJoint[i] {
+                    let j = frame.joints[i]
+                    marker.transform.translation =
+                        SIMD3<Float>(j.x, -j.y, -j.z)
+                    marker.isEnabled = true
+                } else {
+                    marker.isEnabled = false
+                }
+            }
+            for i in n..<entities.arkitMarkers.count {
+                entities.arkitMarkers[i].isEnabled = false
+            }
+        }
+    }
+```
+
+Note: `applyArkit()` iterates `persons`, which is only populated for
+pids seen in the MediaPipe `frames`. If the USB skeleton must show
+when there is no MediaPipe pose, also create a `PersonEntities` for
+each pid present in `lastArkit`. To keep Task 3 minimal, in
+`update(frames:)` before `applyArkit()`, ensure entities exist for
+ARKit-only pids:
+
+```swift
+        for pid in lastArkit.keys where persons[pid] == nil {
+            persons[pid] = makePerson(pid: pid, parent: anchor)
+            lastSeenAt[pid] = now
+        }
+```

+
+## Task 4: Wire the consumer into the app
+
+Construct `USBSkeletonConsumer` in the app, start/stop it with the
+scene, and feed it into `Skeleton3DRenderer` in place of (or alongside)
+`ArkitOSCListener`.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `launcher/AV-Live-Body/Sources/AVLiveBody/AVLiveBodyApp.swift`
+- Modify: `launcher/AV-Live-Body/Sources/AVLiveBody/BodyView.swift`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Read the two files**
+
+Read `AVLiveBodyApp.swift` and `BodyView.swift`. Identify: where the
+`@StateObject` listeners are declared in `ContentView`, where `.onAppear`
+starts them, how `ArkitOSCListener` is passed into `BodyView`, and where
+`BodyView.makeNSView` calls `skel3d.attach(to:listener:arkitListener:)`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Own and start the consumer**
+
+In `AVLiveBodyApp.swift`'s `ContentView`, add a `@StateObject`:
+
+```swift
+    @StateObject private var usbConsumer = USBSkeletonConsumer()
+```
+
+In `.onAppear`, alongside the existing listener `.start()` calls, add
+`usbConsumer.start()`. If there is an `.onDisappear`, add
+`usbConsumer.stop()`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Thread the consumer to the renderer**
+
+`Skeleton3DRenderer.attach` currently takes
+`arkitListener: ArkitOSCListener?`. The simplest correct change: give
+`USBSkeletonConsumer` the same role. Add an overload / extra parameter
+so `attach` can subscribe to `usbConsumer.$bodies` exactly as it
+subscribes to `arkitListener.$bodies` (both publish
+`[Int: ArkitOSCListener.ArkitBodyFrame]`). Concretely, in
+`Skeleton3DRenderer.attach`, accept `usbConsumer: USBSkeletonConsumer?`
+and, if non-nil, subscribe its `$bodies` into `lastArkit` with the same
+sink already used for `arkitListener` (the `arkitSub` Combine
+subscription). Pass `usbConsumer` from `ContentView` → `BodyView` →
+`makeNSView` → `skel3d.attach(...)`, mirroring how `arkitListener` is
+already threaded.
+
+If `arkitListener` (the OSC one) is now redundant, it may be passed as
+`nil`; do not delete `ArkitOSCListener` in this plan (other code or
+Plan 3b cleanup may still reference it).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify build**
+
+Run: `cd launcher/AV-Live-Body && swift build` — Expected: succeeds.
+Run: `cd launcher/AV-Live-Body && swift test` — Expected: no regression.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add launcher/AV-Live-Body/Sources/AVLiveBody/AVLiveBodyApp.swift launcher/AV-Live-Body/Sources/AVLiveBody/BodyView.swift
+git commit -m "feat(av-live-body): wire USB consumer to renderer"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Final verification
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Clean build + full test suite**
+
+```bash
+cd launcher/AV-Live-Body && swift build && swift test
+```
+
+Expected: build succeeds; all tests pass (7: prior 6 + Task 1's).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Confirm the integration seam**
+
+`USBSkeletonConsumer.devicePort` (7000) must equal the iOS app's
+`USBServer.port`. Verify:
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "port.*7000\|devicePort" \
+  launcher/AV-Live-Body/Sources/AVLiveBody/USBSkeletonConsumer.swift \
+  iphone-arbody/ARBodyTracker.swiftpm/Sources/ARBodyTracker/USBServer.swift
+```
+
+Expected: both sides use `7000`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit any fix** (only if Step 2 found a mismatch).
+
+---
+
+## Self-Review
+
+- **Spec coverage:** This plan implements the spec's `USBClient`
+  consumption inside `AVLiveBody`, the `VideoDecoder` unit, and the
+  skeleton render path. `MultiHMRCoreML`, `BodyFusion`, and dense-mesh
+  rendering are explicitly Plan 3b (gated on a confirmed CoreML
+  Multi-HMR `.mlpackage`).
+- **Placeholders:** none — new files have complete code; modify tasks
+  cite exact files and the line-138 TODO, and instruct the implementer
+  to read exact context for `AVLiveBodyApp.swift`/`BodyView.swift`
+  (whose current line numbers are not reproduced here).
+- **Type consistency:** `USBSkeletonConsumer.bodyFrame` returns
+  `ArkitOSCListener.ArkitBodyFrame`; `Skeleton3DRenderer` already
+  stores `lastArkit: [Int: ArkitOSCListener.ArkitBodyFrame]`, so the
+  consumer is type-compatible with the existing `arkitSub` path.
+  `VideoDecoder` consumes `VideoPayload` exactly as Plan 2's
+  `VideoEncoder` produces it (parameter sets prepended, 4-byte
+  big-endian length prefixes).
+- **Known risks:** (1) `BodyView` owns `Skeleton3DRenderer`, so Task 4
+  threads a new object through `ContentView` → `BodyView` → `attach` —
+  multi-file, follow the existing `arkitListener` threading exactly.
+  (2) `StreamDemuxer.findMagic` copies the whole buffer per `feed()`;
+  for HEVC video this is a perf risk — acceptable for Plan 3a, revisit
+  if frame rate suffers. (3) The HEVC parameter-set split in
+  `VideoDecoder` assumes the iOS encoder's exact prepend layout —
+  this is the Plan 2 ↔ Plan 3a integration seam; validate on real
+  device data.
