I pulled the key decisions out of the three files.

This project is now framed as a battery-first, local-first furnace filter monitor that measures actual differential pressure across the filter, updates filter life in quiet bucketed steps, and keeps working even if cloud services are unavailable

Locked product direction

Single battery-powered product
Pressure sensing is the only continuous sensing task
Thread / Matter is primary
BLE is allowed for provisioning/service
Wi-Fi stays as fallback
External antenna is retained
No Ethernet
No USB
No external power connector
No screen; at most a simple red status LED

Power and battery

Baseline pack is 3 x D alkaline
4 x D is allowed as a contingency if packaging or runtime margin requires it
Service model is designed around battery replacement without losing state
The target service interval is about 24 months, with 36 months as a stretch goal if testing supports it

Mechanical / sensing constraints

Use static pressure pickups and tubing
Mount on the return side / pre-blower side
Use magnetic mounting
Keep the pressure path mechanically isolated
Protect the sensor zone, antenna path, and pressure ports from battery service disturbances

Security / product behavior

Core behavior must remain offline-capable
Secure onboarding, secure local comms, authenticated OTA
No open production debug
Preserve identity, history, last known state, and queued events across battery swaps

Biggest unresolved risks

Scope creep into a broader smart-home product
Battery-life impact from keeping Wi-Fi fallback in all units
Final enclosure and battery geometry around the 3 x D / 4 x D decision
Antenna routing and tubing routing in the final enclosure

Highest-value next steps from the files

Freeze the comms boundary: Thread/Matter primary, BLE provisioning, Wi-Fi fallback
Freeze enclosure volume and battery placement
Freeze pressure sensor + tubing/port design
Convert the plan into schematic blocks, board zoning rules, EVT BOM, firmware backlog, and app backlog

This matches the direction you typed earlier almost exactly: single 4-layer board, pressure sensor zone first, RF at edge, external antenna, battery-first power tree, secure element onboard, no Ethernet/USB/external power, and battery servicing that does not disturb sensing or RF

If you want, I can next turn this into one of these:

a clean one-page hardware requirements brief
a schematic partition/block diagram
a PCB zoning and placement checklist
an updated execution plan for the design work

Plan

#Goal

Update the hardware design work plan for a battery-powered, local-first furnace filter monitor with fixed product decisions. The design must feature a single 4-layer board with separate zones for pressure sensing and RF, enforce a battery-first power tree with a gated radio rail, include a secure element, and meet design exclusions (no Ethernet, USB, or external power). Further design specifications incorporate a pressure sensor zone that is mechanically isolated, RF module placed at the board edge (with external antenna), support for Thread/Matter with BLE provisioning and Wi-Fi fallback, state retention across battery swaps, 3xD alkaline baseline with 4xD contingency, magnetic mounting, and proper integration of static pressure pickups/tubing.

#Implementation plan

Update and Lock Product Architecture
1. Document the fixed product decisions and constraints in the project description to ensure a common definition of zones and critical exclusions.
2. Partition the design into distinct zones: Pressure Sensor Zone (mechanically isolated, first in hierarchy) and RF Zone (located at board edge for external antenna integration).
Define and Implement Power and Security Subsystems
1. Establish the battery-first power tree with gated radio rail in the schematic.
2. Integrate and add the secure element component to the secure zone of the board.
3. Ensure the battery service configuration preserves sensing, RF operations and state retention across battery swaps.
4. Document the battery configurations: 3xD alkaline baseline with 4xD contingency.
Update RF and Connectivity Design
1. Position the RF module next to the board edge to enable connection to an external antenna.
2. Implement connectivity for Thread/Matter as the primary protocol, and add support for BLE provisioning/service and Wi-Fi fallback.
Address Mechanical and Sensing Requirements
1. Design the pressure sensing path to be mechanically isolated from other zones with return tubing and static pressure pickups.
2. Ensure that battery service interventions do not affect sensor integrity or RF performance.
3. Configure magnetic mounting features within the mechanical layout.
Validate Manufacturability
1. Verify that the design adheres to a single 4-layer stackup requirements.
2. Confirm that all layout zones and critical signal separates are consistent with production and serviceability constraints.
3. Prepare documentation and schematics to reflect the locked product decisions for subsequent phases.

#Success criteria

The project description is updated with all fixed product decisions and zone partitions.
The schematic clearly separates the pressure sensor, RF, power, and security zones.
The power tree reflects a battery-first design with gating for the radio and state retention across battery swaps.
The RF module is correctly positioned at the board edge and connected to an external antenna.
All mechanical and sensing isolation requirements are documented and integrated in the design.
The design adheres to manufacturability constraints on a single 4-layer PCB stackup.
