# React — usage examples

Reference code for sampling clean training windows from this dataset. **Use
these examples (or copy their patterns) to avoid sampling on top of known
data-quality issues.**

## What's in here

| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| [`react_window_dataset.py`](react_window_dataset.py) | A PyTorch `Dataset` that yields short multimodal windows with all four quality filters applied at enumeration time. Drop-in usable. |
| [`demo_react_window.py`](demo_react_window.py) | End-to-end usage example — builds the dataset, prints one sample's structure, renders a static grid of N random windows as a PNG. |

## What the dataloader filters out

The published `.pt` files have already had **OT-uninitialized recording
prefixes** trimmed (those bad spans were before the dataloader ever sees
the data — see [`docs/caveats.md`](../docs/caveats.md)). On top of that,
`ReactWindowDataset` applies four enumeration-time filters:

| # | Filter | What it catches |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | `skip_bad_frames` | Windows overlapping any interval in `bad_frames.json` (`intensity_spikes`, `pose_teleports_{L,R}`, `ot_loss_{L,R}`). These are *broken* data: LED glitches, mocap solver flips, mid-episode OptiTrack track loss. |
| 2 | `respect_active_sensors` | Ignores inactive sensors per `tasks.json:per_date_notes` when checking contact + motion predicates. |
| 3 | `min_contact_fraction` | Drops windows where fewer than `min_contact_fraction` of frames have tactile contact (chosen sensor + metric + threshold). Forces samples to be contact-rich. |
| 4 | **`require_motion`** | **Drops windows where the active sensors are essentially stationary** (operator paused mid-manipulation). The recorded data is healthy, but a near-zero-motion window contains no dynamics to learn. |

Filter (4) is the one most people forget. Without it, you'll get the
occasional "wait, the sensor isn't moving in this clip" sample even
though everything else is clean.

## Minimal recipe

```python
from examples.react_window_dataset import ReactWindowDataset
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader

ds = ReactWindowDataset(
    data_root        = "processed/mode1_v1/motherboard",
    bad_frames_path  = "bad_frames.json",
    tasks_json_path  = "tasks.json",
    window_length    = 16,
    # (1) (2) — broken data + inactive-sensor handling
    skip_bad_frames        = True,
    respect_active_sensors = True,
    # (3) — contact-richness
    contact_metric         = "mixed",
    tactile_threshold      = 0.4,
    min_contact_fraction   = 0.5,
    which_sensors          = "any",
    # (4) — motion content (recommended for dynamics learning)
    require_motion              = True,
    min_motion_mps              = 0.01,    # 10 mm/s
    min_motion_fraction         = 0.25,
    which_sensors_must_move     = "all_active",
)
loader = DataLoader(ds, batch_size=8, shuffle=True, num_workers=2)
```

## Recommended defaults by use case

- **Dynamics / world-model learning**: all four filters on. The recipe above.
- **UMI-style imitation / pose-as-action**: same recipe; filter (4) is
  critical here because stationary windows give you constant-action labels.
- **Studying static tactile patterns** (e.g. classification of contact
  shapes): turn filter (4) OFF (`require_motion=False`) — you specifically
  want windows where the sensor is held still on an object.

## Loading a single `.pt` directly (without this dataloader)

If you're rolling your own sampler, replicate the filter logic by hand:

```python
import json, torch, numpy as np

ep_key = "2026-05-11/episode_017"
ep = torch.load(f"processed/mode1_v1/motherboard/{ep_key}.pt", weights_only=False)
T = ep["view"].shape[0]
bad = json.load(open("bad_frames.json"))["episodes"][ep_key]

# Frame-level mask (True = drop)
mask = np.zeros(T, dtype=bool)
for s, e in (bad["intensity_spikes"]
             + bad["pose_teleports_L"] + bad["pose_teleports_R"]
             + bad["ot_loss_L"] + bad["ot_loss_R"]):
    mask[s:e + 1] = True

# Per-frame motion mask (use this in addition to bad_frames)
pose_L = ep["sensor_left_pose"].numpy()
pose_R = ep["sensor_right_pose"].numpy()
speed_L = np.linalg.norm(np.diff(pose_L[:, :3], axis=0), axis=1) * 30      # m/s
speed_R = np.linalg.norm(np.diff(pose_R[:, :3], axis=0), axis=1) * 30
moving_L = np.concatenate([[speed_L[0]], speed_L]) >= 0.01                  # 10 mm/s
moving_R = np.concatenate([[speed_R[0]], speed_R]) >= 0.01

# Then when picking a window [t, t+L):
def good(t, L):
    if mask[t:t + L].any():
        return False
    return moving_L[t:t + L].mean() >= 0.25 and moving_R[t:t + L].mean() >= 0.25
```

## Coordinates note

All frame indices in `bad_frames.json` and in the `.pt` files are in
**trimmed** coordinates — the OT-uninitialized prefixes were cut from
the published `.pt` files. The trim offset per file is recorded as
`_contact_meta.trim_offset` inside the `.pt`. You don't need to apply
it yourself: this loader and the metadata are already aligned.

If you also need to read the original H5 archive (held in
`MultimodalData/twm/data/<task>/<date>/`), remember to **add the trim
offset back** before indexing into the H5 — the H5 still has the
pre-trim timeline.

```python
trim_offset = ep["_contact_meta"]["trim_offset"]
h5_index = pt_index + trim_offset    # only needed when reading raw H5
```
## Visualizing a single .pt or a whole task

Use `examples/play_react_pt.py` to scrub through React data interactively
(same key bindings as `python -m twm.visualize` for H5 archives).

```bash
# Single .pt (mode1_v1 episode or one mode2_v1 segment)
python examples/play_react_pt.py \
    processed/mode2_v1/motherboard/2026-05-11/episode_012.segment_00.pt

# Whole task: all 27 episodes are discovered; same-source segments are
# concatenated into one playback timeline. N / P jumps between episodes.
python examples/play_react_pt.py processed/mode2_v1/motherboard

# Headless: write one MP4 per episode into a directory
python examples/play_react_pt.py processed/mode2_v1/motherboard \
    --save_video_dir /tmp/react_mp4s
```

Controls:

| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| `space` | pause / resume |
| `left / a`, `right / d` | prev / next frame |
| `1..6` | speed 1x / 2x / 5x / 10x / 25x / 50x |
| `r` | reset GelSight diff reference to current frame |
| **`n` / `p`** | **next / previous episode** |
| `q` | quit |

Panel layout (1280 x 480):

- **Row 1**: cam0 view, tactile_L raw, tactile_L diff, tactile_R raw, tactile_R diff
- **Row 2**: OT pose text (live x/y/z + quaternion), contact-intensity trail plot, controls cheatsheet
- **Status bar at top**: episode index, frame index in the concatenated timeline, segment number, source-H5 frame range
- **Red border for 1 frame** when crossing a segment boundary (visible cue that a bad interval was cut here). Vertical red marks in the trail plot show recent boundaries.

The GelSight diff is computed against `_contact_meta.ref_p01_*` (the quietest frame of the episode), so it reads as the absolute contact on the gel rather than change since the start of the clip.
