gen5 link conformance: bootstrap order, a real burst count gate (gen5-scoped),
command correlation.

  • Bootstrap (gen5): HELLO first during connect setup — identity, battery,
    charging, wear and the timestamp all land before any clock work; the clock
    decision takes hello's own timestamp, so GET_CLOCK becomes the fallback it
    is supposed to be. One SET_CLOCK per bootstrap, gated on ≥2 s of measured
    drift. The 600/500 ms registration delays, the final advertising-name read
    and the charging-only battery-pack follow-up are in their places.
  • Command correlation: CommandAwaiter — observer registered before the
    write, both sequence and opcode must match, cancel on write failure,
    failAll() on teardown, and a serialized seq-zero fallback that refuses to
    guess when two requests share an opcode. Five hello failures reset the
    platform bond. Alarm arms are judged on the strap's correlated reply — a
    rejection never persists a phantom alarm.
  • Count gate (gen5 only): expected = data + event packet counts; complete
    type-47/48/50/53/54/55 frames count once each, in arrival order, within the
    marker-to-marker window only; a short burst is refused with the two-byte
    failure result and the band re-offers; attempts are per-burst, the tally is
    frozen at the terminal, and the 15th consecutive failure sends one abort
    and latches terminal for the session. gen4 keeps its proven advisory-only
    flow untouched.
  • Honest v18 persistence: hr gated on its own range, on-wrist and
    hr-valid never fabricated, skin temp abstains on the -50.00 °C sentinel —
    enforced at the backup-import seam too.
  • Wake window at the 180 s / 7200 s Smart Alarm values.

Compiles against protocol #31 (repin to the upstream SHA as the final commit
once it merges — merge order: #31, repin, then this).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved Bluetooth command handling with response matching, timeouts, identity checks, and safer startup validation.
    • Added support for burst-count data during active historical synchronization.
    • Added battery-pack usability and clock-drift checks during connection setup.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Historical synchronization now stops cleanly when the connection cannot progress.
    • Alarm refusals and transport failures no longer save invalid alarm states.
    • Removed unsupported wear, heart-rate validity, and temperature values from imported health data.
  • Improvements

    • Updated protocol support for newer Gen5 records without changing existing derived results.

Bootstrap now follows the order the strap expects: GET_HELLO goes out
first and its own body answers identity, battery, charge, wear AND the
clock question — the hello timestamp feeds the same verdict logic the
GET_CLOCK reply used, so the read round-trip only happens as the fallback
it actually is. Hello stays best-effort, not a connect gate.

The burst count gate is enforced instead of advisory. A short burst is
stored durably WITHOUT the trim token and answered with the two-byte
failure result, so the strap re-offers the data instead of trimming flash
it never delivered — the old path ACKed success on a shortfall, which was
a silent, permanent loss of unbanked records. Battery-pack frames
(53/54/55) now count as burst members; a captured type-54 checkpoint was
failing 27/24 on every retry because they counted nowhere. The compare is
the one-sided rule with slack 2 after three consecutive failures, capped
at 15 attempts before a single abort.

Command responses are correlated: originating sequence AND echoed opcode
must both match, the observer is installed before the write, PENDING is
non-terminal only for hello and the data range, and nothing is ever
auto-resent. A response matching neither leaves a log trail instead of
satisfying a stranger's await. Five hello failures across reconnects drop
the platform bond and start over; serial/CPU identity is checked and
logged (all-zero serial = the EEPROM-failure signal), never used to drop
the link.

The conditional-wake window uses the official 180 s / 7200 s cadence, the
stored alarm can be run early with the rev-2 body, and the alarm
read-back is a verification signal that never clobbers the user's
displayed alarm.
The strap's own condition reports (event 29) and haptics terminations
(event 100) now land in the offload snapshot and the log: live
pages-behind/backlog/charge from the band's side of the sync, and whether
an alarm ended by timeout, error or the wearer's double-tap. Observability
only — no sync is triggered and no alarm behaviour changes.

Arming an alarm is now judged on the strap's correlated reply instead of
the GATT write. A reply whose outer result is FAILURE/UNSUPPORTED, or
whose alarm status is in the input-rejection family (invalid waveform,
loop count, duration, alarm time or alarm id), returns null so nothing
records an alarm the band refused — previously a refused arm looked
identical to a successful one. An unanswered reply keeps the old
write-is-the-arm semantics so straps that do not echo the originating
sequence still arm; it is logged as unconfirmed for getAlarm() to verify.

RUN_ALARM goes through the same correlation and its [revision, status]
reply is recorded in the snapshot — the paper trail for verifying the
early-wake path on hardware.
Persistence stops writing three values the data never supported. The
on-wrist and hr-valid columns are left NULL: body-60 bits 0-1 are the
primary-flags snapshot, not wear, and body-15 bit7 toggles ~50/50
independent of HR presence across 1.59M retained records (752,820 carry a
valid HR with the bit clear), so both were coin flips dressed as answers.
Skin temperature goes through the sentinel-aware accessor so the AS6221's
-50.00 C unavailable code stores as NULL instead of a temperature. A
data-only v35 migration retires what v34-era builds already banked; the
columns stay in place, nullable, for an honest source if one ever appears.
No metric read any of the three, so day results are unchanged and the
algo version stays put.

The gen5 bootstrap tail now matches the captured client: 600 ms before
notification registration and 500 ms after (the capture shows hello going
out 585 ms after the last CCC write); SET_CLOCK only at two or more whole
seconds of drift, with no BLE write when the clocks already agree (an
uncorrelated or unset RTC still always writes); the advertising-name read
as the final pre-READY command, correlated but never a gate; and when
hello reports charging, a session-owned follow-up asks for battery-pack
info up to five times, five seconds apart, accepting only a reply whose
pack address is real. gen4 setup is byte-identical to before throughout.
Field-found on a live strap (fw 50.40.1.0): a burst sat permanently short
at expected=16 actual=12 through fifteen retries, then the abort restarted
every ~2.5 s. Root cause: GATT delivers notifications in true order across
characteristics, but the app reordered them internally — data frames ride
the serialized offload queue while event/console frames were counted at
notification time, so a burst's members landed in whichever window
happened to be open. The re-offers showed it directly: the starved burst's
console frames surfaced as a growing surplus on the burst before it.

Count-member frames now enter the same serialized queue at their true
arrival position; their PROCESSING stays immediate (wrist/battery/alarm
handling never waits on an offload commit) — only the burst count rides
the queue. The old advisory "completeness would-flag" line claimed
missing/corrupted frames for what were mis-binned members; it was the same
counter as the gate minus slack, so it now says what is actually true: the
burst passed on slack and the band will trim frames we did not count.

Type-47 frames without a decoder are members too: the deep buffers
(v20/v21/v26/v22) and any future firmware's revisions arrive through the
archive path, which counted nothing — on an R22-enabled strap that starves
the gate in exactly the same way. Archived frames now feed the same
per-revision counter the decoded path uses. Gate-dropped records stay
excluded; they are added back separately.

The 15th failed validation is terminal for the session now: one abort,
re-offered markers are dropped without re-validating, and every same-
session drain trigger (periodic, foreground, auto-continue, the backfill
continuation loop) is refused through the single refresh choke point. A
reconnect clears the latch, so a fresh session drains normally.
The docs say the bootstrap sends one SET_CLOCK; a factory-fresh or
far-off RTC was getting two — the clock-absorb handler's own bounded
re-correction fired on the hello reply, and the bootstrap clock step
then wrote again because no correlation existed. A duplicate
persistent-state write is exactly the hazard the no-auto-resend rule
exists for. The absorb handler now stands down inside the bootstrap's
clock window and the bootstrap step is the single writer; outside the
window (RTC-lost events, the periodic re-verify) it corrects itself
exactly as before. Pinned by a test that fails with two writes.

Also writes down, at the battery poll, that the keep-alive polls are a
deliberate deviation from the official no-idle-polling model — retained
as liveness probes, not data sources, with the removal tracked as its
own conformance task rather than done as a drive-by.

Upstream and this branch solved overlapping problems while apart; the
merge keeps whichever half is load-bearing. From main: the single gated
GET_DATA_RANGE consumer (this branch's older ungated sibling block is
gone — it was exactly the double-absorption main's refactor killed), the
dangerous-opcode block at the lowest-level write, the repair guide, the
MT-12 aux-temperature and band-sleep-envelope columns, and the nullable
sensor columns. From this branch: the doc-exact count gate (one-sided
with the failure-dependent slack, fifteen attempts, terminal abort with
a session latch) supersedes main's one-refusal shortfall gate — it is
the same goal, bounded re-delivery after a durable commit, with the
band's actual retry contract and a field capture behind it; the alarm
readback returns as a verification-only signal now that the reply's
byte layout is decoded correctly at the protocol layer (the misdecoded
epoch that got it parked was the revision/active-flag offset bug); and
the archive replay maps records under the same honesty contract as the
live path — no wear or HR-validity bits resurrected, the skin-temp
unavailable sentinel stays NULL. The retire migration renumbers to v46
behind main's ladder.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Set windowOpen when fireNow is returned.

The comment states the window stays open, but windowOpen remains false on this path. The next tick therefore returns openWindow, so the window request is issued one tick after the early wake, and a later _close() cannot emit closeWindow until that extra tick runs. Align the flag with the documented intent.

the command-correlation layer is good and i want it. the burst count gate isn't ready.

the gate can trim flash for records we never got. three separate ways:

  1. consecutiveValidationFailures resets only on success — not in beginBurst(). so burst a fails 3 times, burst b arrives, and b's first attempt gets burstCountSlack(3) == 2. short by 2 → passes → commit(token) → band trims two frames we never counted. that directly contradicts the rule the code says it implements ("the first three attempts demand every frame"). the 15-attempt terminal counts across different bursts too, so 15 separate bursts each failing once latches historyStuck while the log says "still short after 15 attempts", which isn't what happened. one line in beginBurst().

  2. on a re-offered HISTORY_END there's no reset — right, since the band re-offers the marker without resending frames. but event/console/puffin frames arriving during the ~37s retry window now go through immediateAndCount and bump the same counter. so a burst short by 3 data frames gets pushed over by three unrelated console logs, then commits and acks. gen5 console traffic is chatty enough for that to happen. the gate compares a total, so it can't tell "the missing frame came back" from "a different frame arrived". freeze the tally at HISTORY_END, or only count members that arrived before the terminal.

  3. there's no isGen5 guard anywhere on this path. the comment this pr deletes is my own contrary evidence — field data showed the gap between expected and actual varies run to run with no fixed offset, and the old hard-fail behaviour gave zero sync progress with "last data" frozen indefinitely. the membership rules here came off gen5 work and were tested on a whoop 5. short by ≥3 on gen4 now means 15 failures → abort → historyStuck latched for the connection. records already banked survive, so it's a stall not immediate loss, but on a full band a stall becomes loss. gate it on gen5 or get gen4 evidence.

same path: 3+ crc-failed frames terminating history for the whole connection is rough on a marginal link, since crc failures never reach receivedTrafficCount and slack caps at 2.

provenance. there's a lot of it — comments citing source documents by name, "official client" references, and one that ships in a runtime log line users can see. plus the pr body. state the fact, never how it was learned. repo's public, force-pushed shas persist, github won't delete a pr. has to be sorted before merge.

merge order. doesn't compile against the pinned protocol — 29 analyzer errors, missing symbols from #31. you say so in the body and it's real: #31 lands, edge repins, then this. also pubspec.lock is committed with a local override baked in (path: "../protocol") — that's a pubspec_overrides.yaml artifact, revert it. the repin belongs in pubspec.yaml.

smaller:

  • ConditionalWakePolicy.fireNow doesn't set windowOpen, so the next tick issues openWindow after the user's already been woken. coderabbit flagged this too, it's right.
  • historyStuck returns before every sub-type including historyComplete, so onComplete() can never fire once latched and awaitComplete() waiters run to timeout.
  • _readClock now needs seq correlation on gen4 and i have no gen4 capture with cmd_response to check the echo against. if gen4 doesn't echo the request seq you get a 3s stall on every connect. the seq-zero fallback probably covers it, but worth one connect log.
  • event/console frames now re-arm the idle watchdog mid-offload, so chatter can keep a genuinely stalled offload alive past 60s.
  • ConditionalWakePolicy, runStoredAlarm and the StrapConditionReport fields have no production caller — that's smart-alarm machinery in a pr called "link conformance". split it out.
  • BatteryPackInfoGate.usable only rejects the sentinel in identifier, so an empty id with a 00:00:... name passes.
  • BurstShortfallGate is dead now — delete it or say why it stays.
  • _mergeFromDbFile still includes decoded_onehz, so a pre-v46 backup re-imports exactly the rows v46 retires. coderabbit's right about that one.

what's genuinely good, so it doesn't get lost in the above: CommandAwaiter/_sendAwaited is well built — observer registered before the write, cancel on write failure, both seq and opcode must match, failAll() on teardown, and the seq-zero fallback refuses rather than guesses when two requests share an opcode. i traced every caller, nothing leaks a completer. judging the alarm arm on the strap's reply so a rejection never persists a phantom alarm is right, and so is letting an unanswered arm still succeed. skinTempCOrNull abstaining on the -50c sentinel instead of banking a number 70c below any wrist is exactly the rule. and gen4's connect chain is structurally unchanged — i traced it end to end. dropping the bogus gen5-only opcodes back to 10/11 is a good catch.

- beginBurst() starts a fresh validation cycle: a new HISTORY_START resets
  the attempt count (no inherited slack), while marker-only re-offers of the
  same burst still accumulate toward the 15-attempt boundary.
- the burst tally freezes at HISTORY_END, so event/console chatter in the
  re-offer window cannot push a short burst over the line into an ACK.
- the count gate is enforced on gen5 only; gen4 keeps its advisory-only
  behaviour until a gen4 capture pins its count semantics.
- Stuck lets HISTORY_COMPLETE through (it ACKs nothing), so awaitComplete
  waiters stop running out their timeout; the idle watchdog re-arms only on
  real drain progress, never on chatter.
- one log line when a GET_CLOCK reply matches via the seq-zero fallback.
- the smart-alarm machinery (ConditionalWakePolicy, runStoredAlarm, the
  condition-report fields) moves out to its own future PR.
- BatteryPackInfoGate rejects the sentinel in the name field too;
  BurstShortfallGate (dead) removed; the v46 data rule now also applies at
  the backup-import seam, with a pre-v46 import regression test; the alarm
  error message stays neutral across both null causes;
  pubspec.lock restored to main's pinned form.
- comments and log lines state the facts without their sources.

Round one of fixes is up as one additive commit (6ccaae2); the smart-alarm machinery is out and the count gate got all three of your data-loss scenarios closed. Point by point:

Gate trims flash for records we never got:

  1. beginBurst() now resets consecutiveValidationFailures — a new HISTORY_START is a fresh cycle at slack zero, and 15 different bursts each failing once can no longer latch Stuck under a log claiming one burst failed 15 times. Marker-only re-offers (no START) still accumulate, which per your description is what the band actually sends after a failure result. Pinned by "a new HISTORY_START starts a fresh validation cycle".
  2. The tally freezes at HISTORY_END (closeBurstTally): event/console members arriving during the re-offer window count into no burst, so chatter can't push a short tally over the line. Pinned by "chatter after HISTORY_END cannot push a short burst over the line".
  3. The gate is enforced on gen5 only. gen4 keeps the advisory-only behaviour it always had — mismatch logged (ADVISORY, gen4) and written to the ledger, ACK unchanged — until a gen4 capture pins its count semantics. Pinned by "gen4 keeps the advisory-only count behaviour".

On the CRC point: still real on gen5 — a marginal link corrupting ≥3 frames per delivery can walk to the 15-attempt boundary. Refusing stays the data-safe direction (every re-delivery is another chance at the corrupt frame; an ACK deletes it), and the boundary keeps it from looping forever. I'd rather revisit it as part of making Stuck task-scoped instead of connection-scoped, which I want to bring as its own PR after this lands.

Provenance — scrubbed from the whole diff: comments, test names, the one runtime log line, and this PR's body (edited in place). Facts stay, sources don't.

Smaller items:

  • historyStuck now lets HISTORY_COMPLETE through (it ACKs nothing), so onComplete() fires and awaitComplete() waiters stop running out their timeout. Pinned.
  • event/console frames no longer re-arm the idle watchdog — only real drain progress does. Pinned ("console chatter does not keep a stalled offload alive").
  • _readClock logs one line when a reply matches via the seq-zero fallback, so a gen4 field connect answers your echo question before anything gates harder on it.
  • ConditionalWakePolicy, runStoredAlarm and the condition-report fields are OUT of this PR (event 29 still gets one stateless log line). They come back as a smart-alarm PR, with the fireNow/windowOpen fix you and coderabbit flagged.
  • BatteryPackInfoGate rejects the sentinel in the name field too (your exact case: empty id + sentinel name). A real address with a junk name still passes — the address alone identifies the pack.
  • BurstShortfallGate deleted.
  • The v46 data rule now also applies at the backup-import seam, with a regression test importing a pre-v46 source and asserting on_wrist/hr_valid/the -50 °C sentinel all land NULL. I did NOT hard-null the shared _queueDecodedOneHz write: those columns are deliberately kept writable for a source that can honestly supply them, every current producer already passes null, and the import seam was the one ingress that could carry disproven values.
  • coderabbit's register()-leak finding: verified not live — both _sendAwaited return paths evaluate pending.response (which arms the timeout) and the write-fail path cancels, matching your own trace. The lazy arm stays as the documented sharp edge; happy to switch to arm-at-registration if you'd rather remove the edge than document it.
  • The alarm exception is neutral now ("Alarm not set") — null covers both a failed write and an explicit refusal, and the engine log says which.
  • pubspec.lock restored to main's git-pinned form; the repin lands in pubspec.yaml as the final commit once feat(v25): irregular-rhythm + HRR + BRV + auto-workout + coach read-only SQL #31 merges, in your stated order (and after the 146/147 question over there is settled).

One heads-up: your protocol-side v25 change (accelG now empty) reached this branch through the local override, so v25_refusal_test now pins the upstream refusal instead of asserting protocol "still hands us the vector". Same seams, same records dropped.

DropTabl and others added 4 commits August 21, 2026 18:34
main moved the revision derivation out of `onHistoricalData` and up to its
callers. Git flagged one of this branch's two call sites; the other is the
raw-archive path this branch added for the count gate, and it still passed
the old `(packetType, counter, sample, hex)` form.

That mattered beyond compiling. `historicalPacketCount` sums the per-revision
buckets and excludes `_unknownCount`, so passing -1 there would have left every
burst carrying a raw archive permanently short at the count gate -- the same
data-loss class as the tally fixes in 6ccaae2. The archive reads its revision
off inner[1], exactly as the callee used to, and only passes -1 for a frame too
short to have one.

Both conflict resolutions keep this branch's behaviour and adopt main's shape:

- ble_engine: `!_burstTallyClosed` guard and its comment kept, main's
  three-argument signature adopted.
- v25_refusal_test: took main's version. Both sides independently concluded
  the same thing (protocol stopped emitting accelG, edge drops the record
  either way); main's also asserts on a second fixture.

Review point: three CRC-corrupt frames on a marginal link can walk a burst to
the 15-attempt boundary, and the latch then refused every further drain for the
connection. Records already banked survive, so it is a stall rather than
immediate loss -- but on a full band a stall becomes loss.

The refusal itself stays. Refusing a short burst rather than ACKing it is the
data-safe direction: every re-delivery is another chance at the corrupt frame,
and an ACK deletes it. The latch also earns its keep -- without it the band's
~2.5 s re-offer storm re-enters validation and re-aborts (14+ times in 12 s on
a real strap).

What could not be defended is the scope. Continuation after `Stuck` comes from
a later connection, a scheduler tick or an explicit trigger; a session-scoped
latch refuses the last two outright, so it was stricter than the behaviour it
models.

So the latch is now windowed: `kHistoryStuckCooldown` = 2 min, comfortably
outlasting both the re-offer storm and the 60 s idle watchdog. Inside the
window nothing changes -- triggers refused, markers dropped, first occurrence
of each logged and then silent. After it, a new trigger gets a fresh validation
cycle. The band still holds its checkpoint, so nothing already committed is
re-fetched.

Every decision site reads one windowed getter, including
`historyStuckThisSession`, which the backfill loop uses to mirror the engine's
refusal -- left raw it would have kept breaking the loop after the engine had
resumed accepting triggers. The raw latch stays in diagnostics as
`history_stuck`.

Last commit in the stated order: OpenStrap#31 lands, edge repins, then this branch is
reviewable. b7990e1 is protocol main's merge commit rather than the PR-branch
head, per this file's own rule -- a deleted branch can orphan a PR-branch SHA.

The lock is regenerated with no local override in it: git source, url and
resolved-ref, not `path: "../protocol"`.

The sibling-pin guard caught the repin, which is what it is for: a day_result
stamps kAlgoVersion and nothing about which siblings produced it, so a repin
without visiting this block lets two builds serve each other's days as
equivalent.

Holding at 76 rather than bumping, and this one is checkable rather than
argued: diff c761f29..b7990e1 and the gen4 record decoder
(`lib/src/records.dart`) is untouched, as is every gen4 line in the package
export. What moved is the gen5 surface -- hello map, control plane, command
surface, v18/v20/v22/v26 field maps -- plus tests.

So for anyone on a gen4 strap every number out of the package is byte-identical
across this repin, and a bump would invalidate every stored day to recompute
the same answers. The gen5 records it adds are new: no released build could
decode them, so no stored day at v76 came from one.

Round two. #31 is merged, so this is repinned and out of draft. Suite is green: 2,910 passed, 422 skipped, 0 failures, analyzer clean.

Four commits on top of 6ccaae2:

e524c34 — merge main. Two conflicts. ble_engine: kept the !_burstTallyClosed guard, adopted your three-argument signature. v25_refusal_test: took main's version, since both sides had independently reached the same conclusion and main's also asserts on a second fixture.

One thing in that merge is new code you have not reviewed, and it is not cosmetic. Moving the revision derivation up to the caller left this branch with two call sites; git flagged one. The other is the raw-archive path added for the count gate. historicalPacketCount sums the per-revision buckets and excludes _unknownCount, so passing -1 there would have left every burst carrying a raw archive permanently short — the same data-loss class as the tally fixes in the last round, arriving through a merge rather than a decision. It reads the revision off inner[1] exactly as the callee used to, and passes -1 only for a frame too short to have one.

2e43bb1 — you were right about Stuck, and I was wrong to defer it. I said I would rather revisit it in a follow-up. That was a bad answer: the latch is new in this PR, not something inherited, so its blast radius is mine to fix here.

The refusal stays — refusing a short burst rather than ACKing it is the data-safe direction, since every re-delivery is another chance at the corrupt frame and an ACK deletes it. The latch also earns its keep against the ~2.5 s re-offer storm. What I could not defend is the scope. Continuation after Stuck comes from a later connection, a scheduler tick or an explicit trigger, and a session-scoped latch refused the last two outright — stricter than the behaviour it models, and exactly your point about a marginal link costing every later drain.

So it is windowed now: kHistoryStuckCooldown = 2 min, outlasting both the re-offer storm and the 60 s idle watchdog. Inside the window nothing changes. After it, a new trigger gets a fresh cycle; the band still holds its checkpoint. Every decision site reads one windowed getter — including historyStuckThisSession, which the backfill loop uses to mirror the engine's refusal and would otherwise have kept breaking the loop after the engine had resumed accepting triggers. The raw latch stays in diagnostics as history_stuck.

8aa0f64 — repin to b7990e1, protocol main's merge commit rather than the PR-branch head, per this file's own rule about orphaned SHAs. Lock regenerated with no local override in it: git source, url, resolved-ref. You were right that the path: "../protocol" in the committed lock was a pubspec_overrides.yaml artifact.

40fcb30 — the sibling-pin guard caught the repin, which is what it is for. Holding kAlgoVersion at 76 rather than bumping, and this one is checkable rather than argued: diff c761f29..b7990e1 and the gen4 record decoder (lib/src/records.dart) is untouched, as is every gen4 line in the package export. Only the gen5 surface moved. So for anyone on a gen4 strap every number out of the package is byte-identical across the repin, and a bump would invalidate every stored day to recompute the same answers. The gen5 records it adds are new — no released build could decode them, so no stored day at v76 came from one.

Still open, your call:

  • register(). You are right that documenting the edge is weaker than removing it. "Call register() before the write" is enforced by the API's shape; "always evaluate .response" is only enforced by every current caller happening to do it — a property of the callers, not the type. I have not made the change, because the one side effect worth naming is that arming at registration starts the clock before the write completes, shrinking the window by the write latency. Under 1% against a 5 s timeout, and arguably the more correct deadline. Say the word and it lands here rather than as a follow-up.
  • CRC and Stuck scoping. The cooldown bounds the damage, but making Stuck task-scoped instead of connection-scoped is still the better shape. I would still rather bring that as its own PR than widen this one — happy to be overruled.

Restrict burst counting to Gen5. Gen4 burst members reach _countQueuedBurstMember because neither FrameRoutePolicy.route nor _enqueueOffloadFrame checks session.band. Pass the band profile to the policy and route Gen4 members to immediate; Gen4 currently still reports incorrect burst accounting even though validation is advisory.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Confirms the previously flagged import-path gap is fixed; regression test still worth adding.

This closes the gap flagged in the earlier review: a pre-v46 export's decoded_onehz rows now have on_wrist/hr_valid nulled and the -50.00 °C skin_temp_c sentinel cleared to null during merge, matching _retireDisprovenOneHzColumns's threshold (<= -49.995) exactly. This covers both the user-initiated restore path and the tolerant salvage path (_openOrRebuild_mergeFromDbFile), since both funnel through this same code.

The regression-test request from the prior review (import a pre-v46 database and verify all three values land as NULL/cleared) has not yet been added in this batch. Consider adding it to lock in this fix.

Two review findings.

**`register` could leak, and the leak was not just memory.** The expiry armed
only when a caller read `PendingCommand.response`. A command registered whose
write path returned without awaiting and without `cancel()` stayed in
`_pending` for the life of the connection, and `deliver` then refused every
later sequence-zero fallback for that opcode -- the stale entry made
`sameOpcode` ambiguous, so valid replies came back unmatched and their callers
timed out.

The lazy arm is replaced with an explicit one-shot `Timer` started in
`register`. `response` still arms idempotently for callers that reach it
first, and `cancel`/`_complete` cancel the timer, so the timeout is still
applied exactly once with no automatic resend. Arming at registration starts
the clock fractionally before the write returns: a few ms out of a
multi-second window, in exchange for the invariant that nothing outlives its
timeout.

**Three doc comments lost their subject in the provenance scrub** and read as
incomplete sentences: "The identity half of as an OBSERVATION.", "The
bootstrap clock gate from ." and an orphaned ".". Rewritten as complete
neutral descriptions that name what the gate or observation represents,
without naming where it came from. Swept every changed file for the same
pattern; these were the only three.

CodeRabbit pass — all seven findings accounted for. Suite green: 2,910 passed, 422 skipped, 0 failures, analyzer clean.

Fixed in c67d353:

register can leak entries that permanently break the sequence-zero fallback (🟠 Major) — real, and the leak was worse than memory. The expiry armed only when a caller read PendingCommand.response, so an entry registered whose write path returned without awaiting and without cancel() stayed in _pending for the life of the connection. deliver then refused every later sequence-zero fallback for that opcode, because the stale entry made sameOpcode ambiguous — valid replies came back unmatched and their callers timed out.

The lazy arm is now an explicit one-shot Timer started in register. response still arms idempotently for callers that reach it first, and cancel/_complete cancel it, so the timeout is still applied exactly once with no automatic resend. This is the arm-at-registration option from the last round: you were right that removing the edge beats documenting it. The one side effect worth naming is that the clock now starts fractionally before the write returns — a few ms out of a multi-second window, in exchange for the invariant that nothing can outlive its timeout.

Restore complete API documentation (🟡 Minor) — real, and my fault from the provenance scrub. Three doc comments lost their subject and read as fragments: The identity half of as an OBSERVATION., The bootstrap clock gate from ., and an orphaned .. Rewritten as complete neutral descriptions that say what the gate or observation represents without saying where it came from. I swept every changed file for the same pattern — those three were the only ones.

Already addressed, verified against current code:

  • Set windowOpen when fireNow is returned — stale. ConditionalWakePolicy and the whole smart-alarm surface came out of this PR in 6ccaae2; there is no fireNow path left here. It comes back with that fix already applied when the smart-alarm PR lands.
  • Apply the all-zero sentinel to name, not only to identifier — done in 6ccaae2. BatteryPackInfoGate.usable now returns false for an empty identifier with a sentinel name; a real address with a junk name still passes, since the address alone identifies the pack.
  • Use a neutral error message for both null outcomes — done in 6ccaae2. It is Exception('Alarm not set'); null covers both a failed write and an explicit refusal, and the engine log says which.
  • Apply the retirement rule to every decoded-row ingress — the import seam is fixed, which this batch's own follow-up confirms. The shared _queueDecodedOneHz write is deliberately left writable: those columns exist for a source that can honestly supply them, every current producer already passes null, and the import seam was the one ingress that could carry disproven values in.
  • Regression test still worth adding — it is already there, in test/db_paged_import_export_test.dart (importFromDbFile applies the v46 data rule at the seam). It builds a pre-v46 decoded_onehz, imports it, and asserts on_wrist and hr_valid land NULL and the -50.00 °C sentinel clears, while a real 30.57 reading survives untouched. It was added in 6ccaae2, so this batch's diff would not have shown it.

That clears everything outstanding from both review passes. The only item I have left deliberately open is making Stuck task-scoped rather than connection-scoped — the cooldown in 2e43bb1 bounds the damage, but the better shape is still its own PR, and I would rather not widen this one further. Happy to be overruled.
