+### Verification dataset missing / no detections
+- Current bundled SVOs (ZED_SN*.svo2) appear to produce 0 ArUco detections in `calibrate_extrinsics.py`.
+- This blocks end-to-end verification that output JSON includes `depth_verify`, `depth_verify_post`, and `refine_depth`, and that `--report-csv` emits rows.
+- Unit tests cover depth verification/refinement math and bounds, but integration output fields need a dataset with visible markers.

+### Blocker: integration output validation needs a marker-visible SVO
+
+To complete remaining plan checkboxes:
+- "--verify-depth produces verification metrics in output JSON"
+- "--refine-depth optimizes extrinsics and reports pre/post metrics"
+- "--report-csv outputs per-frame residuals to CSV file"
+
+Need at least one SVO set where ArUco markers are detected and poses accumulate.
