[Bug] Running Live Activity, widgets, and workout-start HR/IMU must stay current on device

[adidshaft]

Scope update — 23 September 2026

Keep this issue focused on actual Live Activity/widget/workout runtime acceptance. #48 tracks the broader concise UI/insights pass; #46 tracks the new Mac-to-iPhone R10/R11 transport. Mac capture success does not close the remaining physical surface checks below. The build-specific snapshot below is historical.

Summary

17 Sep 2026 device failures on the cabled iPhone (build tracking through 1.0 (113), origin/dev):

1. Workout start ~16 Sep 16:30 stuck Reading/Unavailable with no saved workout insight.
2. Insight windows disagreed (HRV Today vs Day vs Week vs Month).
3. Running Live Activity empty/ugly; widgets showed stale or arbitrary values.
4. Need a pullable diagnosis snapshot so later fixes use on-device truth.

Environment

• Device: physical iPhone (device identifier omitted)
• Strap: WHOOP 4 over phone Bluetooth
• Branch: origin/dev
• Installed: 1.0 (113) a463b8c0

Current device proof (do not close yet)

Done on device

• New workouts save with live HR + IMU. Latest: Running 17:35–17:37 IST, 127s, 134 samples, avg 93, strain 0.1, HUD Motion live. Also 23 min / 1428 samples and 4 min / 242 samples earlier today. Yesterday's Strength/Walking remain 0-HR and must not be invented.
• Overnight HRV/recovery/RHR/sleep Day/Week/Month use the same sleep-backed windows (74 / 77 / 55). Overnight recovery is frozen against daytime RHR rescoring. Last night 7h 15m, 28477 HR samples; IMU skip-sitting while still.
• Dynamic Island during a live run: T Z2–Z3 · 90 on App Library. In-app lock-layout preview (atria://live-activity) showed Running 92 BPM Live at 1:13. Home widget overnight 74 / 77 / 55.
• Steps widget leftover 10946 vs Today 1901 fixed in 106; reconnect fragment blocked in 107; gyro-today kept across relaunch in 108. Device 113 widget/Today steps 2234.
• Documents/atria-diagnosis-v1.json is pullable and now includes Live Activity name/availability/strain/steps/elapsed plus last-workout avg HR/strain.

Still open

• True iOS Lock Screen Live Activity layout is unphotographed (no HID lock on the physical phone). The in-app preview and Dynamic Island are substitutes for that exact OS surface.
• Resting HR 55 still peeks under the glass tab after the one-recap Today fix.
• Official WHOOP must stay not-listed while proving BLE.

Expected Behavior

Live Activity and widgets show the same current workout/health values as Today. A completed workout appears as a workout plus insights. Diagnosis JSON matches the surfaces.

Related

• Validate whole-day strap-only steps across live capture and disconnect recovery #21 whole-day strap steps (still open; this issue is display/live, not drain authority)
• Make every widget consume Today/Vitals metric authority #39 widgets consuming Today authority (closed; 106/107 are follow-up display regressions)

Privacy Check

• Device identifier removed from this summary. Review and redact any newly shared diagnostic evidence.

Installed 1.0 (107) 8736cd1c on the cabled phone with --no-launch so the App Library session is not stolen.

Next proof still needed on this issue:

1. Open Atria, confirm Today steps and the Home widget show the same gyro total (not 101 / not 10946).
2. Lock the phone during a short run and photograph Lock Screen Live Activity (Dynamic Island already proven).
3. Scroll Today to the last cards and confirm they clear the glass tab.

Related comments: #21 (steps display vs drain), #39 (closed widget authority; this is a later regression).

[adidshaft]

Build 108 (b3e2d6b8) is on origin/dev and installed on the cabled iPhone without stealing foreground (install UUID 5C88061D-8573-477E-8810-C031B81FA6B6).

107 device pull (user in Blinkit, Atria background)

• Installed/running 107. Official WHOOP not listed. BLE Connected, stream-5, live HR ~8s / IMU ~6s, strap 74%.
• Overnight widget still 76 / 77 / 55. Last night sleep 7h15m, 28477 HR samples. Compact IMU skips sitting overnight (reasonable, not a duty-cycle off).
• New bug on 107: Today/widget showed 167 while gyro-today / held floor stayed 1944. Cold start re-baselined the physiological cycle at the current session count, so the UI used steps-since-launch. 108 publishes max(cycle-local, gyro-today) and restores the cycle baseline from that floor.

Still open (do not close)

• Lock Screen Live Activity (needs the phone locked during a short run; no HID lock).
• Compact insight / last Today cards under the glass tab — not photographed on 107/108.
• 108 widget vs Today ~1944 agreement not yet proven on device (install is --no-launch; 107 may still be the running process until next open).
• Yesterday Strength/Walking remain 0-HR on purpose.

[adidshaft]

108 is the running build (install 5C88061D-8573-477E-8810-C031B81FA6B6). SpringBoard widget photographed at 16:07 IST:

• Strap steps 2157 on the widget, diagnosis Today 2157, held/gyro-today 2157 (the 167 post-relaunch fragment is gone).
• Overnight board 74% / 77 / 55. Official WHOOP still not listed. Live HR ~8s / IMU ~6s, Connected, stream-5.

Still not closing: Lock Screen Live Activity unproven; last Today cards vs glass tab not photographed on 108; yesterday no-HR workouts stay 0-HR.

109 (77c57f5c) is on origin/dev and installed (638D67F3-3A4E-4D99-BADC-653D56E5E394). Phone is locked, so Atria could not be background-launched after install; BLE will resume on next unlock/open.

What 109 does

• Overnight recovery freeze: a recovered-data “authoritative” rebuild on 108 relaunch rescored last night 76 → 74 while sleep/HRV/RHR stayed 7h15m / 77 / 55. Merge now keeps the closed-night score even when that day is marked invalidated. The 74 already written will stay frozen; 76 is not rewritten from old evidence.
• Today tab overlap: safeAreaPadding insets the resting viewport (contentMargins only added end-of-scroll room). Compact insight moved above saved workouts so it is not the card in the tab overlap.

Still open (do not close)

• Lock Screen Live Activity: device is locked now, but no workout is running and Atria is not in memory.
• Photograph Today last cards vs glass tab after unlock.
• Official WHOOP must stay not-listed.

110 (b53042dd) is installed (35E08E37-0BC3-4967-B6F3-EEC345DA29BF). Phone still locked — Atria main process not running; only the widget extension is listed. Official WHOOP not listed.

What 110 adds

• Diagnosis hrAgeSeconds and Live Activity “live vs unavailable” now use session.last when lastAcceptedHeartRateAt is nil after a workout-start session boundary (that was empty island / diagnosis_hr_age missing while HR was still flowing).

Still open

• Need unlock + open Atria to restore BLE.
• Lock Screen Live Activity still unproven (no running workout).
• Today last-cards vs glass tab still unphotographed on 109/110.

[adidshaft]

110 is running again (PID 12941, bundle 35E08E37-0BC3-4967-B6F3-EEC345DA29BF). Official WHOOP not listed.

Pull evidence/2026-09-17-goal-verify110:

• process_status=running, diagnosis_build=110, diagnosis_connection_status=Connected
• diagnosis_hr_age_s≈5.4 (session.last fallback is live; prefs HR/IMU ages ~17s)
• Today/widget steps 2179 / 2179
• Overnight recovery 74
• Today screenshot 16:37 IST: recovery 74%, live 102 bpm · 2179 steps, compact insight visible, Running 23m still under the glass tab

111 (e35458f8) is on origin/dev — Today now shows only the newest saved workout after the compact read so a stack of recap rows cannot rest under the tab. Not shipped while Atria is in the foreground (install would kill BLE).

Still open: Lock Screen Live Activity proof (needs lock during a short run), photograph 111 Today after install, drain #21.

111 Live Activity / workout-start proof (still on e35458f8, bundle ED761ACB-76EC-4274-8955-D48BC3C2E11F). Official WHOOP not listed.

Started a Running session from a pending deep link while Connected:

• HUD 00:17: 97 bpm, Motion live — not Reading/Unavailable
• Compact Dynamic Island 16:54 and 16:56 IST: T Z2–Z3 · 88 (diagnosis live_activity_recording=true, live_activity_hr=88)
• HUD 03:31: 91 bpm, Motion live, strain 0.1
• Saved recap: 4 min · avg HR 93 · strain 0.2
• Pull evidence/2026-09-17-goal-verify111-saved: last workout Running 242 samples, duration_below_10m_and_hr_below_threshold; HR age ~0s; Today/widget steps still 2179; overnight recovery 74

Yesterday Strength/Walking remain 0-HR (workout_no_hr_no_strap_hr_samples). Overnight vs daytime recovery 74 vs 38 is Handoff-10 identity, not a sheet split.

Still open on this issue: Lock Screen Live Activity photograph (no HID lock from here). Drain remains #21.

[adidshaft]

111 still running (did not ship 112 while Atria was foreground with live HR). Official WHOOP not listed.

Re-verified after the 4-minute run:

• Today recap: Running 4m · Strain 0.2, live 100 bpm · 2179 steps, overnight recovery 74%
• Widget payload board: Yesterday morning · Recovery 74% · HRV 77 ms · RHR 55 bpm · live HR 90
• HRV Week and Month both hero 77 ms, latest 77, two recorded nights 45→77 (Month does not invent extra points)
• Recovery Week hero 74% latest night — same number as Today and the widget

112 is on origin/dev (891a18b2 + d270d5c6): dismiss the workout recap / widget board so the next diagnosis sheet can present; diagnosis records last-workout avg HR and strain. Not installed yet.

Still open: Lock Screen Live Activity photograph (no HID lock). Drain remains #21.

[adidshaft]

Sleep/RHR/strain sheets on 111 now match the overnight set:

• Sleep Week latest 7h 15m
• Resting HR Week latest 55 bpm
• Strain Day 2.2 with Day HR incomplete (43% coverage, lower bound — same disclosure as Today)
• Strain Week still uses period average 0.5 (load window), latest bar 0.4

112 on origin/dev (541df39b) records Lock Screen Live Activity facts in atria-diagnosis-v1.json (name, availability, strain, steps, elapsed) so the next run pull can name what the lock layout would show. Not installed while Atria is foreground.

Still open: Lock Screen photograph (no HID lock).

Build 1.0 (113) a463b8c0 is on the cabled phone. Official WHOOP is not listed.

Workout-start HR/IMU (this run). Running 17:35–17:37 IST, 127s, 134 HR samples, avg 93, peak 112, strain 0.1, HUD Motion live at 88 bpm. Saved as a workout with HR — not another Reading/Unavailable freeze. Yesterday Strength/Walking stay 0-HR.

Live Activity. Dynamic Island on App Library: T Z2–Z3 · 90. In-app lock-layout preview (atria://live-activity) during the same run: Running, 92 BPM Live, 1:13, T Z2–Z3, strap 71%. True iOS Lock Screen still cannot be HID-locked from this cable, so that exact OS surface remains unphotographed.

Overnight / insights (unchanged). Last night 7h 15m, 28477 HR samples; compact IMU skip-sitting overnight (35208 skipped sitting seconds vs 6928 scored). Widget/Today overnight 74 / 77 / 55. Diagnosis hr_age_s=0.18, imu_age_s=0.02, stream-5 confirmed after the run.

Still open on this issue. True Lock Screen photograph; Resting HR 55 still peeks under the glass tab. Do not close yet. #21 stays open (drain).
