-## Always offer to pull down issues with Github CLI, address issues before beginning
+Camera-agnostic ROS2 (Humble) wrapper for ByteDance's Depth Anything 3 monocular depth estimation, targeting real-time performance (>30 FPS) on NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX.
 
-## DO NOT MAKE ANY COMMITS, USER WILL MAKE COMMITS
+## Version Requirements
 
-## Always see if there are specialized agents to helps with tasks and troubleshooting, orchestrate agents to work together
+- **ROS2**: Humble Hawksbill (also compatible with Jazzy/Iron)
+- **Python**: 3.10+
+- **Target Hardware**: NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX (also supports desktop GPUs)
 
-This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+## Always Follow These Guidelines
+
+## Environment Detection (Do This First)
+
+Before attempting Jetson access or system commands, determine your environment:
+
+### Check Available Tools
+
+1. **MCP Tools**: Check if OSA Tools, Windows MCP, or SSH MCP tools are available
+2. **Local Environment**: Test if `~/.ssh/jetson_j4012` exists and `10.69.7.112` is reachable
+
+### Environment-Specific Behavior
+
+| Environment | SSH Access | Method |
+|-------------|------------|--------|
+| Claude Code (local) | Direct | `ssh -i ~/.ssh/jetson_j4012 gerdsenai@10.69.7.112` |
+| Claude Cowork (Mac) | Via osascript MCP | `mcp__Control_your_Mac__osascript` runs commands on host Mac |
+| Docker container | Exit first | Run SSH from host, not container |
+
+### Cowork + osascript MCP (Preferred Method)
+
+When running in Cowork on a Mac with the "Control your Mac" MCP enabled:
+
+```applescript
+-- SSH command via osascript
+do shell script "ssh -i ~/.ssh/jetson_j4012 gerdsenai@10.69.7.112 '<command>'"
+```
+
+This executes on the user's Mac, which has network access to `10.69.7.112` and the SSH key at `~/.ssh/jetson_j4012`.
+
+### X11 Display Setup for GUI Apps
+
+To run GUI apps (viewers, rqt) from Docker container on Jetson display:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Enable X11 access for Docker (run on Jetson host via SSH)
+export DISPLAY=:10
+export XAUTHORITY=/run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority
+xhost +local:docker
+
+# 2. Run GUI app in container with display forwarding
+docker exec -e DISPLAY=:10 -e XAUTHORITY=/run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority \
+  da3_ros2_jetson <command>
+```
+
+## Jetson SSH Quick Reference
+
+These commands work from Claude Code (direct) or Cowork (via osascript MCP):
+
+- **Host**: `10.69.7.112` (Jetson device on local network)
+- **User**: `gerdsenai`
+- **Identity file**: `~/.ssh/jetson_j4012`
+
+```bash
+# Quick connectivity test (run this first)
+ping -c 1 10.69.7.112 && ls ~/.ssh/jetson_j4012
+
+# SSH to Jetson
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/jetson_j4012 gerdsenai@10.69.7.112
+```
+
+## Git Workflow (Non-Negotiable)
+
+- **USER MAKES ALL COMMITS AND PRs** - Claude must NEVER commit or create PRs
+- **Always branch off `main`** - Create feature branches from main for all work
+- **Never commit directly to `main`** - All changes go through feature branches
+- When starting work, create a new branch: `git checkout -b feature/description main`
+
+## GitHub CLI Usage
+
+Use `gh` CLI for all GitHub interactions:
+
+```bash
+# View issues
+gh issue list
+gh issue view <number>
+
+# View PRs
+gh pr list
+gh pr view <number>
+
+# Check repo status
+gh repo view
+```
+
+Always offer to pull down and review issues before beginning work.
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code and Claude Cowork when working with this repository.

+
+Jetson Orin AGX is available at `10.69.7.112`. SSH requires identity file.
+
+```bash
+# SSH to Jetson (identity file required)
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/jetson_j4012 gerdsenai@10.69.7.112
+
+# Deploy via git clone (preferred - maintains git history)

+### JetPack / L4T Version Notes
+
+| L4T Version | OpenCV | cuDNN | Base Image                              |
+|-------------|--------|-------|-----------------------------------------|
+| r36.2.0     | 4.8.1  | 8.x   | dustynv/ros:humble-desktop-l4t-r36.2.0  |
+| r36.4.0     | 4.10.0 | 9.x   | dustynv/ros:humble-desktop-l4t-r36.4.0  |
+
+**Important**: The `humble-pytorch` variant does NOT exist for r36.x. Use `humble-desktop` instead.
+
+## Docker Build Known Issues (Jetson)
+
+### 1. pip.conf Points to Unreliable Server
+
+dustynv base images configure pip to use `jetson.webredirect.org` which may be unreliable.
+**Fix**: Use `--index-url https://pypi.org/simple/` explicitly for pip installs.
+
+### 2. OpenCV Version Check
+
+The Dockerfile validates OpenCV version. Supported versions:
+
+- 4.5.x (apt packages)
+- 4.8.x (L4T r36.2)
+- 4.10.x (L4T r36.4)
+
+### 3. cuDNN Version Mismatch
+
+L4T r36.4.0 ships with cuDNN 9.x, but some PyTorch wheels expect cuDNN 8.
+**Fix**: For host-container TRT architecture, container doesn't need CUDA-accelerated PyTorch.
+Use CPU-only torchvision in container since TRT inference runs on host.
+
+### 4. Base Image Selection
+
+```dockerfile
+# WRONG - doesn't exist for r36.x
+FROM dustynv/ros:humble-pytorch-l4t-r36.4.0
+
+# CORRECT
+FROM dustynv/ros:humble-desktop-l4t-r36.4.0
 ```
 
+## Host-Container TensorRT Architecture
+
+Due to broken TensorRT Python bindings in containers, we use a split architecture:
+
+- **Host**: Runs `scripts/trt_inference_service.py` (TensorRT inference)
+- **Container**: Runs ROS2 nodes (camera driver, depth publisher)
+- **Communication**: File-based IPC via `/tmp/da3_shared/`
+
+| File         | Direction          | Format                                   |
+|--------------|--------------------|------------------------------------------|
+| `input.npy`  | Container -> Host  | float32 [1,1,3,518,518]                  |
+| `output.npy` | Host -> Container  | float32 [1,518,518]                      |
+| `request`    | Container -> Host  | Timestamp signal                         |
+| `status`     | Host -> Container  | "ready", "complete:time", "error:msg"    |
+
+### Current Performance Status (2026-02-04)
+
+| Metric | Current | Target | Notes |
+|--------|---------|--------|-------|
+| FPS | 5-12 | >30 | File IPC overhead limits throughput |
+| TRT Inference | ~50ms | ~26ms | Host TRT working correctly |
+| GPU Utilization | 99% | - | GPU fully utilized during inference |
+| IPC Overhead | ~40ms | 0ms | File read/write bottleneck |
+
+**Optimization Path**: Native TensorRT in container would eliminate file IPC overhead and achieve 30+ FPS. Requires TensorRT Python bindings working in L4T r36.4.0 container.
+
 ## Architecture
 
 This is a ROS2 Humble wrapper for ByteDance's Depth Anything 3 monocular depth estimation, targeting >30 FPS on NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX.
 
 ### 3-Layer Design
+
 - **Node Layer** (`depth_anything_3_node.py`, `*_optimized.py`): ROS2 interface, parameter handling, topic management
 - **Inference Layer** (`da3_inference.py`, `*_optimized.py`): Model loading via HuggingFace, CUDA/CPU inference
 - **Utility Layer** (`utils.py`, `gpu_utils.py`): Depth processing, colorization, GPU acceleration
 
 ### Dual Implementation Pattern
+
 - Standard nodes: Baseline functionality
 - Optimized nodes (`*_optimized.py`): TensorRT, async processing, >30 FPS target
 - Both expose identical ROS2 interfaces - changes to one should be reflected in the other
 
 ### Inference Wrapper Return Format
+
 ```python
 {'depth': np.ndarray,  # (H, W) float32

 ## Critical Design Principles
 
 ### Camera-Agnostic Design (Non-Negotiable)
+
 - NEVER add camera-specific logic to core modules
 - Camera integration ONLY via topic remapping and example launch files in `launch/examples/`
 - All cameras work through standard `sensor_msgs/Image` interface
 
 ### ROS2 Patterns
+
 - Use relative topic names with `~` prefix (e.g., `~/depth`, `~/image_raw`)
 - BEST_EFFORT QoS for image subscribers (allows frame drops)

+**To achieve 30+ FPS:** Run TensorRT natively inside container (requires working TensorRT Python bindings in L4T r36.4.0 containers).

+For Jetson users, we provide a single-command demo script at the repo root that handles everything automatically:
 
 ```bash
-# After SCP'ing to Jetson
-ssh gerdsenai@10.69.7.112
+# Clone directly on Jetson
+git clone https://github.com/GerdsenAI/Depth-Anything-3-ROS2-Wrapper.git ~/depth_anything_3_ros2
 cd ~/depth_anything_3_ros2
-bash scripts/demo.sh
+
+# Run the demo (first run takes ~15-20 min for Docker build + TRT engine)
+./run.sh
 ```
 
-The demo script will:
-1. **Auto-detect cameras** (USB and CSI) and let you select if multiple are found
-2. **Build TensorRT engine** on first run (~2 minutes)
-3. **Start TRT inference service** for 40+ FPS performance (93+ FPS at 308x308)
-4. **Launch Docker container** with ROS2 depth estimation node
-5. **Open performance monitor** showing live FPS, latency, and GPU stats
-6. **Optionally launch RViz2** for visualization
+The `run.sh` script will:
+1. **Build Docker image** if not already built (~15-20 minutes first run)
+2. **Download ONNX model** from HuggingFace and build TensorRT engine (~2 minutes)
+3. **Auto-detect cameras** (USB and CSI)
+4. **Start TRT inference service** on host for 40+ FPS performance
+5. **Launch Docker container** with ROS2 depth estimation node
+
+Subsequent runs start in ~10 seconds.

+#### 6. Jetson Docker Build Failures
+
+**Error**: `dustynv/ros:humble-pytorch-l4t-r36.x.x` not found
+
+**Solution**: The humble-pytorch variant doesn't exist for L4T r36.x. Use `humble-desktop` instead:
+```dockerfile
+# In docker-compose.yml, set:
+L4T_VERSION: r36.4.0  # Uses humble-desktop variant
+```
+
+**Error**: `pip install` fails with connection errors to `jetson.webredirect.org`
+
+**Solution**: The dustynv base images configure pip to use an unreliable custom index. The Dockerfile includes `--index-url https://pypi.org/simple/` to override this.
+
+**Error**: `ImportError: libcudnn.so.8: cannot open shared object file`
+
+**Solution**: L4T r36.4.0 ships with cuDNN 9.x, but some PyTorch wheels expect cuDNN 8. For the host-container TRT architecture, the container doesn't need CUDA-accelerated PyTorch since TensorRT inference runs on the host. The Dockerfile uses CPU-only torchvision in the container.

+## Phase 5: Live Demo System [IN PROGRESS]
+
+### Components Added
+- [x] `scripts/demo_depth_viewer.py` - ROS2 viewer with side-by-side camera + depth display
+- [x] `scripts/run_demo.sh` - Demo runner (starts TRT service, camera, depth node, viewer)
+- [x] `scripts/jetson_demo.sh` - Jetson-specific entrypoint for systems with local display
+- [x] Atomic IO for numpy files (prevents partial reads)
+- [x] Dockerfile ROS2 sourcing fix for non-interactive shells
+
+### Demo Features
+- Side-by-side camera feed and colorized TensorRT depth
+- FPS toggle display
+- Frame capture to `demo_captures/`
+- X11 support with SSH fallback (shows TRT stats instead of GUI)
+
+### Usage
+```bash
+# On Jetson with display
+bash scripts/jetson_demo.sh
+
+# General demo (container)
+bash scripts/run_demo.sh
+```
+
+### Pending
+- [ ] Merge TensorRT-Testing branch to main (PR pending)
