Hey - I've found 3 issues, and left some high level feedback:
- The hardcoded relative path
../../config/warden.jsoninmainmakes Warden initialization brittle across environments; consider accepting the config path via flag/env or resolving from a well-defined base directory. - In
telemetry/serialization/optimizer.go, you import both the standard library and segmentio JSON packages asjson, which will conflict; alias one of them (e.g.,stdjsonvssegjson) and be explicit about which encoderOptimizedMarshaleruses. - The
go.modundertelemetry/serializationdeclaresgo 1.25.0, which is not a valid released Go version; adjust this to a supported version to avoid tooling and build issues.

## Overall Comments
- The hardcoded relative path `../../config/warden.json` in `main` makes Warden initialization brittle across environments; consider accepting the config path via flag/env or resolving from a well-defined base directory.
- In `telemetry/serialization/optimizer.go`, you import both the standard library and segmentio JSON packages as `json`, which will conflict; alias one of them (e.g., `stdjson` vs `segjson`) and be explicit about which encoder `OptimizedMarshaler` uses.
- The `go.mod` under `telemetry/serialization` declares `go 1.25.0`, which is not a valid released Go version; adjust this to a supported version to avoid tooling and build issues.

**issue (bug_risk):** Guard against `nil` `tempFilter` when `Agent` is instantiated outside `NewPhysicsAgent`.
`EvaluateThreatTemp` dereferences `a.tempFilter` without checking for nil, so any `Agent` constructed without `NewPhysicsAgent` will panic. Either add a nil guard at the call site or enforce that all `Agent` instances are created via `NewPhysicsAgent` (e.g., by avoiding struct literals in tests and other code).

**suggestion (bug_risk):** Validate configuration thresholds to ensure they are sensible and ordered.
State transitions now depend on `Config.Thresholds`, but there’s no check that these values are non-zero and strictly increasing (Safe < Watch < Suspicious < Critical). Invalid or partially missing configs could lead to incorrect state classifications. Please add validation when loading the config and either reject invalid configs or apply safe defaults.

**question (bug_risk):** Clarify or implement how `QuorumSize` is intended to be enforced in governance decisions.
`Policy.QuorumSize` is defined but never used here. If quorum should be enforced in this path, consider adding that check to `ValidateProposal`; otherwise, document that quorum is enforced elsewhere and remove `QuorumSize` from this type to avoid confusion.

Pull request overview
This PR introduces Kalman-filter-based smoothing for PhysicsAgent threat temperature calculations, but it also includes several additional, unrelated additions (Warden config loading, a telemetry serialization submodule, swarm governance, MARL stability throttling, a build script, and documentation updates).
Changes:
- Added a 1D Kalman filter and integrated it into
PhysicsAgentthreat temperature updates. - Updated Warden to load SDI thresholds from a JSON config and modified its tests accordingly.
- Added multiple new modules/utilities (telemetry JSON “optimizer”, swarm governance, MARL stability controller) plus a top-level build script and docs updates.
