Revive occurrence tracking as a post-processing task, with tools to review and correct groupings

[mihow]

Summary

Revives the occurrence-tracking feature originally built by @mohamedelabbas1996 in #863, ported to land on top of current main and integrated with the generic post-processing framework introduced in #954.

The tracking algorithm and the data model (chains of detections via Detection.next_detection, occurrence reassignment from chains, feature-space cost function) are unchanged in spirit and substantially in code. What changed is how it plugs in: instead of being a bespoke JobType, tracking is now a BasePostProcessingTask (key="tracking") executed by PostProcessingJob, matching the pattern established by Small Size Filter.

This PR also re-introduces the Classification.features_2048 column (2048-d embedding from the model backbone) and the matching features field on the processing-service ClassificationResponse schema. Embeddings are produced by the sister PR in ami-data-companion: RolnickLab/ami-data-companion#77.

Scope: v1 fresh-data only

This PR explicitly targets v1: tracking on fresh data. A "fresh event" = the state immediately after the processing pipeline runs, where every detection has its own auto-created occurrence (1:1) and no chain links exist yet. v1 collapses those 1:1 mappings into chain-based occurrences using a merge-into-first strategy (the earliest existing occurrence in the chain is kept, others are absorbed into it).

Re-tracking previously-tracked data (and the related correctness questions around splitting merged occurrences) is out of scope and lands in v2 (incremental append/prepend — see notes below). v1 enforces this with an event_is_fresh() precondition: events whose detections are already partially or fully consolidated are skipped with a log line.

What's preserved from #863 (Mohamed's work)

Quoting from #863, all of which still applies here:

• Adapted and integrated the tracking logic from the AMI Data Companion project to work with the Antenna models and processing flow.
• Added a new field next_detection to the Detection model to link detections in temporal order within a session.
• Implemented checks to:
  • Run tracking only after all detections in an event are fully processed. (now opt-in via require_completely_processed_session, defaulted off pending future work)
  • Skip events with human identifications to preserve valuable manually reviewed data in this v1 implementation.
• Added a robust pair_detections algorithm that matches detections between consecutive frames based on feature similarity and spatial cost.
• Old occurrences are deleted and reassigned based on the new tracking logic (when safe to do so).

Tracking […] builds chains of related detections across consecutive source images within a session. These chains are constructed using a cost function that considers both feature vectors and spatial relationships. The new Detection.next_detection field allows explicit, traceable linkage between detections and makes it easy to visualize or debug tracking chains.

The cost function (1 - cos(features) + 1 - IoU + 1 - box_ratio + distance/diag), the greedy-lowest-cost assignment with claim sets, the chain walk that creates one Occurrence per chain, and the human-ID skip — all carried over.

What changed for the framework integration

#954 landed a generic post-processing framework in the meantime, so the revival adapts tracking to fit that pattern rather than re-introducing the bespoke TrackingJob subclass:

• ami/ml/post_processing/tracking_task.py — TrackingTask(BasePostProcessingTask) with key="tracking", name="Occurrence Tracking". TrackingParams (cost threshold, skip-on-human-IDs, fresh-event guard, etc.) reads from self.config. Source image collection resolves from job.source_image_collection, with a source_image_collection_id config fallback.
• ami/ml/post_processing/registry.py — registers the task alongside SmallSizeFilterTask.
• ami/main/admin.py — adds a "Run Occurrence Tracking" admin action on SourceImageCollection that enqueues a PostProcessingJob with params={"task": "tracking", "config": dataclasses.asdict(DEFAULT_TRACKING_PARAMS)}. Mirrors the Small Size Filter action.
• ami/jobs/models.py — no changes needed. The earlier branch added a TrackingJob JobType and a job-type-key migration; both are obsolete now that PostProcessingJob dispatches generically.

Schema additions

Three migrations on top of 0083_dedupe_taxalist_names:

• 0084_add_pgvector_extension.py — CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector; (reverse is a no-op since the extension can be shared)
• 0085_classification_features_2048.py — Classification.features_2048 (pgvector.django.VectorField(dimensions=2048, null=True))
• 0086_detection_next_detection.py — Detection.next_detection (OneToOneField("self", related_name="previous_detection", null=True))

Adds pgvector==0.3.6 to requirements/base.txt. The local/CI Postgres image (compose/local/postgres/Dockerfile) installs postgresql-16-pgvector so CREATE EXTENSION succeeds.

ami/ml/schemas.py::ClassificationResponse gains an optional features: list[float] | None with a pydantic v1 @validator enforcing length == 2048 (so wrong-length payloads fail at the boundary, not at DB save time). pipeline.save_results writes it into Classification.features_2048 on both create and the existing duplicate-update path.

v1 hardening (post-review-pass)

After the initial review surfaced several silent-bug risks, the v1 implementation was tightened. The relevant guards:

• event_is_fresh() precondition (default on via require_fresh_event=True). Tracking only runs on events where every detection has an occurrence and every occurrence has exactly one detection. Anything else is skipped with a log explaining why. This sidesteps the "re-track destroys identifications via CASCADE" risk by construction (fresh occurrences have no identifications).
• Merge-into-first occurrence rebuild. Instead of deleting all old occurrences in a chain and creating a new one, the chain's first existing occurrence is kept and other detections fold in. v1's fresh-event invariant guarantees the absorbed siblings have no identifications. v2 will need to migrate Identification.occurrence instead of relying on this invariant.
• Per-event transaction.atomic(). Chain materialization for a single event is atomic; a crash mid-event rolls back that event only, leaving the rest of the job unaffected.
• Width/height: skip transition, not event. A single image with missing dimensions used to abort tracking on the entire event silently. Now the affected transition is logged and skipped; the rest of the event continues.
• Multi-algo events: skip with warning, not silent majority pick. When an event's detections were classified by more than one feature-extracting algorithm and feature_extraction_algorithm_id is unset, the event is skipped with a warning naming the candidates. Operator must pass an explicit override to disambiguate. (Fresh events from a single pipeline run should never hit this case.)
• Determinism. Greedy cost-sort uses (cost, det.pk, nxt.pk) as the secondary key so tied costs produce reproducible pairings across runs.
• Vector dimensionality validation at the schema layer (see above).
• Calibration warning on TrackingParams.cost_threshold: the default is calibrated against synthetic features in tests, not real backbone embeddings. Tune per dataset before relying on it.

How to test

1. docker compose up -d and run migrations: docker compose run --rm django python manage.py migrate
2. Register a processing service running the ADC PR #77 build (or any service whose /process response carries features on classifications).
3. Run the ML processing job on a SourceImageCollection so detections accumulate Classification.features_2048 rows. Each detection will get an auto-created occurrence (1:1).
4. From the Django admin, select the SourceImageCollection and run "Run Occurrence Tracking post-processing task (async)".
5. Verify in the occurrence list view:
   • Multi-detection occurrences exist for sessions where chains formed.
   • Detection.next_detection links chain detections in temporal order.
   • Events with existing human identifications were skipped.
   • Singleton chains keep their original auto-created occurrence (no churn).
6. Re-run is idempotent (already-coherent chains are skipped; non-fresh events are now refused with a log line).

Deployment notes

• pgvector extension must be installed on the Postgres server. Migration 0084 runs CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;, which requires the extension package to be available (the standard pgvector/pgvector Postgres image, the official Postgres postgresql-XX-pgvector apt package, or RDS' vector extension). The local/CI Postgres image is built to include it.
• New Python dependency: pgvector==0.3.6.
• Backfilling embeddings on existing classifications requires re-running the ML pipeline on those collections with a processing service that returns features (i.e. the ADC Web UI setup table views #77 build); existing rows will simply have features_2048 IS NULL and be skipped by tracking, which is the desired behaviour.

v2 plan: incremental tracking (append/prepend)

The v1 design above is the right batch primitive but the wrong UX: users won't see merged occurrences until the entire event has been processed and the post-processing job has run. v2 closes that latency gap by tracking incrementally as captures arrive, so chain consolidation happens in near-real-time.

Architecture readiness

The v1 building blocks are deliberately structured to support v2 with minimal rework:

• pair_detections(cur_image, next_image, …) already operates on two adjacent images and is idempotent under the Detection.next_detection OneToOne uniqueness constraint. Calling it twice for the same transition is safe.
• assign_occurrences_from_detection_chains walks chains by following next_detection, so it works regardless of whether the chain was built incrementally or in one batch pass. The merge-into-first keeper rule handles prepend: when a new detection is added to the head of an existing chain, the existing keeper survives and the new detection's auto-created singleton occurrence is absorbed.
• event_is_fresh() is the v1 gate; v2 will replace it with a tighter "incremental-safe" check (allow events with multi-detection occurrences as long as their identifications are intact).

What v2 needs to add

1. Trigger. A lightweight task fired after each image's detections are persisted. Two candidates:
   • Pipeline-tail (preferred): pipeline.save_results enqueues a tracking task scoped to the just-processed image's adjacent transitions (image-1 ↔ image, image ↔ image+1). Reuses the existing job framework, no new signal plumbing.
   • Signal-based: post_save on Detection schedules a debounced per-event tracking pass. Simpler scope but heavier signal management.
2. Identification migration on merge. When chain growth absorbs an occurrence that has identifications, v2 must reassign Identification.occurrence to the keeper before deleting the absorbed occurrence. v1 sidesteps this by refusing non-fresh events; v2 cannot.
3. Out-of-order arrival. When image i+1 is processed before image i, prepending must work cleanly. The current chain walk already handles this (walks from "no previous" detection), but the v2 trigger needs to re-pair the i ↔ i+1 transition once i arrives.
4. Idempotency under retry. Tracking on adjacent transitions must be safe to re-run on overlapping ranges. Mostly true today via OneToOne uniqueness; needs hardening for the trigger's retry semantics.
5. Stale-data path. Re-tracking previously-tracked data (the deferred case from review) needs explicit split detection: when one old occurrence becomes multiple new chains, partition it across new keepers instead of leaving the merged occurrence in place.

What stays unchanged

• Cost function, threshold, feature-vector storage layout (Classification.features_2048).
• Detection.next_detection schema and the OneToOne uniqueness it provides.
• Greedy lowest-cost matching with claim sets.
• Per-event atomic boundary; merge-into-first occurrence rebuild.

Out of scope / follow-ups

• Embedding storage strategy. This PR keeps features_2048 directly on Classification for v1. Moving heavy outputs (embeddings, logits) to a sibling ClassificationOutput (or a generic AlgorithmOutput) table — or deriving scores from logits — is intentionally deferred to a separate change.
• Per-task Algorithm.task_type. The base post-processing class hardcodes task_type=POST_PROCESSING on the auto-created Algorithm row; AlgorithmTaskType.TRACKING already exists and would be more accurate. Trivial follow-up.
• require_completely_processed_session defaults to False for now, matching the late-stage state of Add support for occurrence tracking #863. Re-enable once we have a reliable signal that an event is fully processed.
• event_fully_processed() over-strictness. Treats events where any capture has zero real detections as "not fully processed" forever. Gated behind the default-off feature flag above; will need rework when that flag flips on.
• bulk_update for chain detection reassignment. Per-row save() is fine for the current detection volumes, but bulk_update(["occurrence"]) is the obvious perf follow-up if profiling shows it matters.

Checklist

• I have tested these changes appropriately.
• I have added and/or modified relevant tests (ami/ml/post_processing/tests/test_tracking_task.py — ground-truth-occurrence-reproduction test ported from Add support for occurrence tracking #863, updated for the v1 fresh-event invariant).
• I updated relevant documentation or comments.
• I have verified that this PR follows the project's coding standards.
• Dependent changes are landed: Return a feature embedding with each classification, for tracking and similarity search ami-data-companion#77 must be deployed alongside (or before) this PR to actually populate features_2048. Without it the migrations and admin action are inert but harmless.

E2E test results (local, 2026-04-29)

End-to-end validated against ADC #77 (feat/add-classification-features-to-response) running in pull-mode (NATS) against this branch. Both runs used pipeline quebec_vermont_moths_2023.

Run 1 — sparse intervals (5 min): 10 captures, single event.

• Pipeline: 209 detections, 89 species classifications, all 89 with features_2048 populated.
• Tracking: 2 multi-detection occurrences formed (2-det chains, ~5m duration each).

Run 2 — dense intervals (~2s active): 363 captures, full-night session.

• Pipeline: 406 detections, 508 classifications, 235 with features_2048 (rest filtered out by binary moth/non-moth before species classifier ran).
• Tracking: 13 multi-detection occurrences across one event. Chain length distribution: 8 × 2-det, 3 × 3-det, 1 × 24-det (54s), 1 × 41-det (6m 12s).
• 329 occurrences from 406 detections → 77 detections folded into existing chains via merge-into-first.

Occurrence.duration() updates correctly on multi-detection occurrences in both runs. Detection.next_detection linkage and the fresh-event guard behaved as designed.

Bug found during testing (separate, not blocking)

Occurrence.last_appearance_timestamp returns null on the detail endpoint (GET /api/v2/occurrences/{id}/) for multi-det occurrences. The annotation that powers it is only applied on the list queryset (with_timestamps()), not on the detail view. first_appearance_timestamp, duration, and duration_label all populate correctly. Pre-existing — not introduced by this PR.

What should be tested on staging

Pull-mode (NATS) deployments need two configuration steps verified before a real-data run:

1. Worker-side feature toggle. Until Propagate PipelineRequestConfigParameters through pull-mode (NATS) tasks #1275 is fixed, the processing-service worker must be started with AMI_INCLUDE_FEATURES=true in its environment. Pipeline.default_config = {"include_features": True} and ProjectPipelineConfig.config are silently ignored on the pull-mode path because PipelineProcessingTask does not carry a config field. Confirm Classification.features_2048 is populated on a fresh ML run before triggering tracking.

2. pgvector in the Celery worker image. The pgvector==0.3.6 Python module must be installed in the Celery worker image, not just the Django web image. If only the web image has it, bulk_create of Classification rows can silently drop the features_2048 value while the rest of the row saves successfully (observed locally before the worker image was rebuilt). The compose file's celeryworker service must rebuild from the same requirements/base.txt after this PR lands.

Suggested staging exercise:

1. Deploy this branch with the celeryworker image rebuilt against requirements/base.txt.
2. Run manage.py migrate (creates vector extension, adds features_2048 and next_detection columns).
3. Pick a moth-rich event with dense capture intervals (sub-minute preferred). Avoid events where the binary filter rejects every capture (the species classifier won't run and features_2048 will be null).
4. Submit an ML job via API or admin against that capture set.
5. After ML completes, verify Classification.objects.filter(features_2048__isnull=False).count() is non-zero on the affected detections.
6. Submit the tracking job: admin → SourceImageCollection → "Run Occurrence Tracking post-processing task (async)".
7. Verify in occurrence list view that multi-detection occurrences exist and next_detection links chain detections in temporal order.
8. Re-run the tracking job: it should refuse the now-non-fresh event with a log line ("event N not fresh; skipping").
9. Confirm events that already had human identifications were skipped (none of those occurrences should have been touched).

Edge cases worth probing:

• Mixed-algorithm event (more than one feature-extracting algorithm has run on the same event without an explicit feature_extraction_algorithm_id) — should skip with a warning, not silently pick a majority.
• Capture with missing width/height — single transition skipped, event continues.
• Tied costs across candidate pairs — pairing should be deterministic across re-runs (sort key includes (cost, det.pk, nxt.pk)).

Status (2026-09-08)

The branch now carries main plus the tracking work, and it is running end to end on a development deployment with a
partner's real data: three one-hour benchmark windows of 180 captures each (20 s cadence), processed by the
feature-vector build of the processing service (ami-data-companion#77) and then tracked with this branch.

Window	Detections	Occurrences before → after tracking	Multi-frame occurrences	Longest chain
A, dense micromoths	8,260	8,259 → 6,904 (−16 %)	646	31 frames (~10 min)
C, macromoths	3,127	3,127 → 2,012 (−36 %)	359	48 frames (~16 min)
B, a few large quiet moths	782	782 → 290 (−63 %)	10	180 frames (the whole hour), plus 131 and 86

Threshold 0.4 with require_features=True, chosen from the measured best-match cost distribution (bimodal, true
matches near 0 and unrelated pairs near 1.1–1.3). Across all three windows the linked detections are almost motionless (median motion 0.1 % of the frame diagonal) while their top-1 labels flip between frames, so the new agreement column is where the signal is. Nothing here measures precision; a manual verification pass by the
partner is the next step and the reason the review tooling below exists.

Added since the last round

1. Detections column is back on the occurrences table, sortable, so tracked occurrences can be found by frame count (the
   backend never stopped computing it).
2. Three optional track-inspection columns, hidden by default: motion (as a fraction of the frame diagonal), size
   change (largest ÷ smallest box), and identification agreement across frames. They are only computed when one of the
   columns is visible (with_track_stats=true), in one query scoped to the current page, so the default list is unchanged.
3. "Show path" works from a hovered box and shows loading, refetch and error states. Previously the request only fired
   when the occurrence was also selected, so the button often did nothing.
4. Grouping controls on the occurrence page are a centred stack aligned with the frame strip.
5. Identification history shows grouping events: a "grouping confirmed by … on …" entry, and a tracking summary card
   (frames grouped, linked detections, duration, motion, size change, agreement, score range). The card is marked
   "derived, not stored": it is computed from the current detections when the page loads and is not part of exports.
   Storing the run's provenance and stats (job, threshold, timestamp) is a follow-up and needs a small model.

Still open

• Re-tracking an already tracked or already verified session (v2, incremental) is out of scope here.
• The capture sequence pairs every capture, including unprocessed ones, so sampled sessions get few usable pairs; a
  processed-only sequence with a maximum time gap is a separate follow-up (see docs/claude/reference/occurrence-tracking.md).

The current implementation does per-row save() calls when reassigning occurrences / links. For Detection, save() triggers update_calculated_fields() (and may cause an extra save), making this much heavier than needed. Consider updating the occurrence field via bulk_update (or QuerySet.update) and, when saving individual rows is required, pass update_fields=[...] and update_calculated_fields=False to avoid the extra work.

Suggested change

	d.save()
	occurrence.save()
	Detection.objects.bulk_update(chain, ["occurrence"])

[mihow]

Claude says: Deferring this one. Looked at Detection.update_calculated_fields (ami/main/models.py:2903) — it only sets timestamp from source_image when missing. For chain elements, timestamp is already populated, so the per-row save() is essentially a single UPDATE with no second pass. Switching to bulk_update here would skip update_calculated_fields entirely; cheap to do but I'd rather not bundle it with this set of fixes. Will track as a perf follow-up if profiling shows it matters.

[Copilot]

event_fully_processed() treats an event as fully processed only if every capture has at least one detection classification with features_2048 for the chosen algorithm. Events commonly include captures with zero detections (or placeholder/null-bbox detections), which would make processed < total forever even when processing is complete. Consider counting only captures with at least one real detection (non-null bbox) and requiring those to have embeddings, or using a more direct “pipeline finished” signal if available.

[mihow]

Claude says: Acknowledged but not changing in this PR. require_completely_processed_session defaults to False and is currently advisory; event_fully_processed is only invoked when an operator opts in. Agreed the "every capture" check is overly strict (captures with zero real detections will block forever). Filed as a follow-up: either count only captures with non-null-bbox detections, or wire this gate to a more direct "pipeline finished" signal once one exists.

In `@ami/ml/post_processing/tracking_task.py`:
- Around line 134-140: The code currently returns early when all detections in a
discovered chain share the same occurrence_id, preventing re-materialization of
chains; remove that early continue and always materialize each chain into an
occurrence: in TrackingTask.run (the loop over variable chain) ensure you create
a new Occurrence (or reuse a freshly created one) for every chain found, update
each Detection.occurrence/occurrence_id in the chain to point to that
Occurrence, save the Detection rows, and handle singleton chains the same way so
stale groupings are replaced rather than left untouched.
- Around line 76-89: The query in get_most_common_algorithm_for_event can pick
up records with algorithm_id=None; change the Classification queryset to exclude
NULL algorithms (e.g., add .filter(algorithm_id__isnull=False) or
.exclude(algorithm_id__isnull=True)) so the annotated most_common never has
algorithm_id=None, then keep the existing lookup of
Algorithm.objects.get(id=most_common["algorithm_id"]); this ensures you skip
NULL algorithm groups instead of calling Algorithm.objects.get(id=None) which
raises.
- Around line 189-197: The nested loop repeatedly calls get_feature_vector(det,
algorithm) and get_feature_vector(nxt, algorithm), causing redundant queries;
instead precompute and cache feature vectors for all entries in
current_detections and next_detections (e.g., dicts keyed by detection id or
object) before the inner loop, filter out None vectors, then iterate using the
cached vectors when computing cost via total_cost(det_vec, nxt_vec, det.bbox,
nxt.bbox, diag); update references to use the cached det_vec/nxt_vec and remove
duplicate calls to get_feature_vector.
- Around line 291-306: The run() loop ignores
TrackingParams.feature_extraction_algorithm_id and always calls
get_most_common_algorithm_for_event(event); change the algorithm selection in
tracking_task.run() to first check the params from self._params() for
feature_extraction_algorithm_id and, if present, resolve that specific algorithm
(e.g., lookup by id) and use it, otherwise fall back to
get_most_common_algorithm_for_event(event); also update the log message around
the algorithm choice to indicate when the override from TrackingParams is being
applied.

In `@ami/ml/schemas.py`:
- Around line 136-141: features is accepted as any-length list but must be
exactly 2048 floats; add validation so incorrect-length vectors fail fast.
Update the schema by either changing the field type to a fixed-length list
(e.g., use pydantic.conlist(float, min_items=2048, max_items=2048) for the
features field) or add a `@pydantic.validator/field_validator` for "features" that
asserts features is None or len(features) == 2048 and raises a clear ValueError
(mentioning "features must be length 2048") so invalid payloads are rejected
before DB persistence.

Claude says: (rebase guidance drafted on @mihow's behalf)

Rebase path onto #1289 (post-processing admin scaffolding)

#1289 landed the shared admin-trigger pattern (head abcb446e). Once it merges, this PR's admin plumbing gets smaller. Concrete steps:

1. Schema. Add a TrackingConfig(pydantic.BaseModel) (pydantic v1 syntax — validator, .dict(), extra = "forbid") and set TrackingTask.config_schema = TrackingConfig. Read typed self.config in the task instead of a freeform dict. The base class now validates config at construction, so bad payloads fail fast in worker logs.

2. Form. Move ami/ml/post_processing/admin_forms.py → ami/ml/post_processing/admin/tracking_form.py. Make TrackingActionForm subclass BasePostProcessingActionForm and override to_config() to drop empty optional fields (e.g. feature_extraction_algorithm_id). Don't re-encode validation rules in the form — the TrackingConfig schema is the single source of truth; the action maps any schema error back onto the form field automatically.

3. Admin action. Replace the hand-written action + render method in ami/main/admin.py with a make_post_processing_action(...) call (from ami/ml/post_processing/admin/actions.py). Because tracking partitions events across projects (one Job per project, not one per selected row), the default one-Job-per-row builder doesn't fit — pass a custom build_jobs= callable instead of scope_resolver:

def _build_tracking_jobs(*, config, queryset, task_cls, project_resolver, name_resolver, **kwargs):
    # group selected events by project, validate each group's config against
    # task_cls.config_schema, then create one Job per project.
    # raise ConfigValidationErrors([(field_or_None, message), ...]) to re-render
    # the form with errors instead of creating any Jobs.
    ...
    return job_pks

run_tracking = make_post_processing_action(
    TrackingTask, TrackingActionForm, build_jobs=_build_tracking_jobs,
)

build_jobs receives model_admin, request, config, queryset, task_cls, form_field_names, project_resolver, name_resolver as keyword args (use **kwargs and take what you need; scope_resolver is only forwarded when supplied). Wrap your create loop in transaction.atomic() like default_build_jobs does, since this PR also adds a management-command-style entry point with no ambient request transaction.

4. Template. tracking_confirmation.html moves from admin/main/ to extend the shared shell at admin/post_processing/confirmation.html, overriding {% block intro %} for the "you are about to run tracking on N events…" preamble. The shared _form_fieldset.html partial renders fields + errors uniformly.

5. Expected conflicts (all small): ami/ml/post_processing/registry.py, ami/main/admin.py, and ami/ml/post_processing/tests/__init__.py (both PRs create it). The select_across guard, all-or-nothing validation, and schema→form error mapping come for free from the factory.

The per-project partition loop is the only tracking-specific logic left after the rebase — everything else (confirm/render/validate/enqueue) is inherited.

Guard null bounding boxes before total_cost.

Detection.bbox is nullable. Null-marker rows (an algorithm ran and found nothing) are returned by cur.detections.all() at Line 402. iou() indexes bb1[0], so a null-marker detection raises TypeError and aborts the event transaction. This repeats a past review comment.

     for det in current_detections:
+        if det.bbox is None:
+            continue
         det_vec = current_vectors.get(det.pk)

Enforce the boundary invariant after the move in split_track and detach_detection.

The module docstring states that a chain link never crosses an occurrence boundary. merge_occurrences and add_detections enforce this with _cut_links_leaving. split_track and detach_detection do not.

split_track clears only head[-1].next_detection. The chain is written by tracking and is not guaranteed to follow timestamp adjacency. If any other head detection points at a tail detection, that link survives the split. detach_detection has the same gap for an inbound link from a non-adjacent member of the occurrence. A later tracking pass can then walk the surviving link and fold the two occurrences back together, which is the outcome the invariant exists to prevent.

Call _cut_links_leaving on both occurrences after the detections move.

🐛 Proposed fix

     new_occurrence = _move_to_new_occurrence(occurrence, tail)
 
+    _cut_links_leaving(occurrence)
+    _cut_links_leaving(new_occurrence)
     _clear_verification(occurrence, new_occurrence)
     occurrence.save()
     new_occurrence.save()
     return new_occurrence

Apply the same two calls after _move_to_new_occurrence(occurrence, [detection]) in detach_detection (Line 128).

Do not swallow occurrence-delete failures.

The blanket except Exception hides integrity and database errors. The surrounding transaction.atomic() block then commits partial reassignment for the event. This repeats a past review comment.

Require a maximum processed-capture gap.

docs/claude/reference/occurrence-tracking.md Lines 119-125 already states that the processed-capture sequence must ship with a configurable maximum gap. This proposal makes every consecutive processed pair a transition. A sparse session can therefore compare detections minutes or hours apart and merge unrelated insects that occupy similar positions. Add the gap to TrackingConfig, define how skipped transitions are marked, and test insertion and re-run behavior across the gap.

The session split flow lacks the earliest-frame guard that the occurrence-detail menu applies. FrameMenu disables Split on the first frame in time because the API rejects a split that moves every detection. The session toolbar offers the same action with no such check, so an operator viewing the earliest capture of a shown path gets a rejected request after a description that says all frames move.

• ui/src/pages/session-details/capture/occurrence-toolbar.tsx#L145-L149: add an isFirstInPath prop and disable the Split button when it is true.
• ui/src/pages/session-details/capture/capture.tsx#L431-L438: derive the anchored detection's index in path (as describeSplit already does) and pass isFirstInPath to OccurrenceToolbar.

Add date_start and date_end to the someActive list.

The section renders the date_start and date_end controls at Lines 129-130, but the someActive list omits both fields. If another view carries a date filter into the occurrence list, the section stays collapsed and the active filter is not visible. FILTERS_TO_OCCURRENCES in ui/src/pages/occurrences/occurrence-filters.ts lists both fields as carryable, and its comment states that a carried filter must be visible and clearable on arrival.
