Subject: [PATCH 01/21] feat(arrivals): add the data-arrival event spine
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Every ingest path in the product can now emit a typed, salience-classified
event into pg-boss, consumed by one worker that claims a durable per-day
reaction marker and fans out to the reaction surfaces.

The recency classifier runs at the seam, before anything is enqueued, so a
mass backfill — a multi-year Apple Health export, a provider re-sync, a
30-day catch-up — emits nothing at all. Non-salient writes are annotated and
dropped.

The worker makes no provider call by construction: it imports no provider
module, writes only markers, and enqueues nothing that is not budget-gated
downstream. Business refusals return a status rather than throwing, so a
refusal is never retried against a ceiling that will not move until the local
day rolls over.

Seams: sleep (one hook, inherited by all seven transports), workouts (the
batch route, the four provider syncs, the export importer), weight and blood
pressure (both measurement routes), labs (manual, OCR commit, document fact
commit).

The provider workout syncs could not previously tell a created row from an
updated one, so a re-sync of a recent session would have re-fired on every
poll; they now recover the distinction from the row the upsert already
returns.

Reaction lines are AES-256-GCM at rest, following the InsightNarrative
precedent, and the column is registered for key rotation. Markers are pruned
after 14 days by a daily maintenance job.

+ * The `data-arrival` worker — the consumer end of the arrival spine.

+ * It runs once per SALIENT arrival (the seam classifier has already dropped

+ * deterministic reaction surfaces.
+ *
+ * Two properties are load-bearing and must survive every future edit:
+ *
+ * 1. **No provider import, structurally.** This module — and everything
+ *    reachable from it — imports no AI client and no provider resolver. The
+ *    spine cannot spend a token by construction; the only AI it can cause is
+ *    through explicitly budget-gated sub-queues that it merely ENQUEUES. A
+ *    module-graph test (`__tests__/data-arrival-provider-isolation.test.ts`)
+ *    fails if a provider module ever becomes reachable from here.
+ *
+ * 2. **A refusal is `skipped`, never `failed`.** Every business refusal — the
+ *    module is off, the day's marker already exists, a later slice's cap is
+ *    exhausted — returns a status. It does NOT throw. This is not a stylistic
+ *    choice: pg-boss retries a failed job, and retrying against a ceiling that
+ *    does not move until the local day rolls over is an unbounded loop. Only a
+ *    genuine transient fault (pool exhaustion, a dropped connection) is allowed
+ *    to escape and earn its two backed-off retries.
+ *
+ * The marker is claimed FIRST, before any fan-out. That ordering is deliberate:
+ * the S4 morning-refresh trigger stamps its debounce marker only AFTER a
+ * non-failed run, so a persistently failing downstream let every subsequent
+ * sleep batch re-enqueue — an unbounded chain. Claiming up front means a

Subject: [PATCH 02/21] test(arrivals): pin the spine's guardrails against
 heavy fixtures

Backfill immunity is proved by replay, not by a hand-picked case: a ten-year
Apple Health export (12772 writes) and a 30-day provider re-sync (58 writes)
must both emit zero events, while a fresh sleep night, workout and first
weight of the day emit exactly one each.

The provider-isolation guard walks the worker's static import graph and fails
if any provider client or resolver becomes reachable. It carries two positive
controls, so a broken entry path cannot make it pass against an empty graph.

The integration test covers what unit mocks cannot: the unique index, the
ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING claim, the losing side of ten concurrent claims, the
forward-only marker, ciphertext at rest, the delete cascade, and the
retention window.

+ * happened to be right at the boundary it was written against.

+ * Two heavy fixtures:
+ *
+ *   - a multi-year Apple Health export (daily weights, blood-pressure pairs,
+ *     sleep nights and workouts across ten years), replayed as the export
+ *     importer replays it;
+ *   - a 30-day provider re-sync (the shape a WHOOP / Fitbit / Google catch-up
+ *     takes after a token refresh or downtime).
+ *
+ * Both must emit ZERO salient events. Then the same seams, given genuinely
+ * fresh data, must emit EXACTLY ONE each.
+ *
+ * The assertions are on `boss.send` — the actual queue write — not on the
+ * classifier's return value. Testing the classifier alone would prove the

+/**
+ * Structural guard: the data-arrival worker cannot reach a provider.
+ *
+ * The spine's central cost claim is that it spends nothing. That claim is only
+ * as good as the worker's module graph: the moment anything reachable from
+ * `data-arrival.ts` imports a provider client, a mass ingest becomes a mass of
+ * provider calls, and no amount of runtime gating in the handler would show up
+ * in review as the thing that broke it.
+ *
+ * So the guard is structural, not behavioural. It BFS-walks the static import
+ * graph from the worker and asserts no provider module is reachable — the shape
+ * of `documents/__tests__/fenced-chat-module-graph.test.ts`.
+ *
+ * Two deliberate design points:
+ *
+ *   - The forbidden set is GLOBBED, not hand-listed, for the provider clients.
+ *     A hand-written array silently stops covering a `gemini-client.ts` the day
+ *     someone adds one; a glob covers it on arrival.
+ *   - There is a positive control. A graph walk that silently resolves to
+ *     nothing (a moved file, a changed alias, a typo in the entry path) would
+ *     pass every negative assertion vacuously. The control asserts the walk
+ *     DOES reach the modules the worker genuinely uses, so an empty graph fails
+ *     loudly instead of reporting success.
+ *
+ * Known limit, stated because it bounds what this proves: `IMPORT_RE` sees only
+ * static import specifiers. A dynamic `await import(...)` built from a variable
+ * is invisible to it. That is acceptable here — the ban is on a static import,
+ * and a dynamic provider import in a worker would be a far louder thing to
+ * write — but it is not a proof, it is a tripwire.

Subject: [PATCH 03/21] test(workouts): count the source-priority read by
 shape, not by call total

The batch route now also resolves the user's timezone and module map through
the arrival seam, so a raw call count on user.findUnique no longer isolates
the read this guard is about. Filtering by the SELECT shape keeps the
once-per-batch contract pinned while letting the unrelated cached lookups
through.

Subject: [PATCH 05/21] feat(workouts): add the activity-insight evidence
 projection and prompt

The evidence block is a numbers-only server projection: zone seconds, the
workout-window heart-rate shape, route climb and a same-sport 90-day own-history
median. Free-text metadata never enters it, and the sport string is narrowed
against the closed enum first, so the payload carries no text the user did not
generate through a measured field.

The prompt composes the shared assessment base and adds the session contract:
device-attributed, own-history-comparative, effort acknowledged where the
numbers show it, and no training prescriptions of any kind. Registered in the
tone harness beside the assessment cards.

+ *      easiest contract for a workout prompt to drift across — a model asked

+- You are describing ONE session that has already happened, not a metric's trend. Everything is already computed; STATE it, do NOT recompute it.
+- ATTRIBUTE THE FIGURES TO THE DEVICE that recorded them ("your watch put most of it in…", "the strap recorded…"). These are device readings of a session, not measurements of the person.
+- COMPARE ONLY TO history — this person's own recent median for this sport. When history is absent or its sampleSize is small, say there is not much to compare against yet rather than reaching for a general standard. There is no population norm in this snapshot and none may appear in the reply.
+- ACKNOWLEDGE EFFORT WHERE THE NUMBERS SHOW IT: a long session, a climb, time held in the upper zones, a faster settle after peaks than the person's usual. Earned recognition is the point of this surface. Unearned praise is not — a short easy session is described as a short easy session, which is a perfectly good thing to have done.
+- NO TRAINING PRESCRIPTIONS. Do not suggest a next session, a weekly plan, a target zone, a pace, a duration, a recovery window or an intensity. Do not say what the person "should" train. This surface describes the session that happened and stops there.

Subject: [PATCH 06/21] feat(coach): give every read-only assessment surface a
 way out
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Status cards and derived-score sheets read one way: they state a verdict and
end there. The metric pages already carried the hand-off; the score sheets
passed neither an opener nor a scope, so they painted no action at all.

- Score sheets (sleep / readiness / recovery / stress / strain) gain the same
  auto-sent opener the metric pages use, each scoped to the inputs that drive
  the composite rather than to a block it has no equivalent of.
- Workout detail's coach launch carries the workout itself. The chat request
  gains an optional workoutId; on the FIRST turn the route narrows by
  { id, userId } and pins ONE bounded evidence section onto the snapshot.
  Later turns reuse the pinned snapshot, so per-turn work stays constant in
  conversation length.
- /coach?workout=<id> covers the full-page and maximize paths.

The workout block deliberately does not take the fenced transport the stored-
document path takes: a workout row is the user's own sensor record, and the
projection admits no free text. That is enforced, not assumed — sport_type is
a TEXT column, so it is re-asserted against the closed sport union, metadata
is excluded apart from its numeric zone durations read through a Zod slice,
and a recursive guard throws on any non-numeric leaf.

Own-history sport averages move to src/lib/workouts/sport-context.ts so the
narrative and the detail page cannot quote different figures.

+ *
+ * The stored-document path (`?doc=`) routes every turn through the hardened

+ * of a PDF — an injection surface by construction. A workout row is not:
+ * it is the user's own structured sensor record. This block therefore rides

+ *
+ * That reasoning only holds if the projection really is numbers-only, so the
+ * closure is enforced here rather than assumed:
+ *
+ *   - Every emitted leaf is a NUMBER, a BOOLEAN, or a token drawn from a
+ *     closed server-side vocabulary. `assertNumbersOnly()` walks the built
+ *     object and throws on anything else, so a future field that smuggles a
+ *     string in fails loudly at build time instead of silently reaching a
+ *     prompt.
+ *   - `sportType` is a TEXT column at the DB layer (see `Workout.sport_type`

Subject: [PATCH 07/21] feat(daily): react in place when new data lands
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Today gains two additive-nullable digest fields. `justIn` names the day's
newest arrival while it is still news — under three hours old, after which the
record is simply current rather than new. `reactionLine` carries a single
generated sentence about that arrival and replaces the hero's standing lead for
the rest of the local day, never appending a second paragraph, so the hero stays
one lead line tall and nothing below it shifts.

Nothing here polls. The open dashboard picks the change up on the cadence it
already runs — a state change, not a notification.

The generated sentence is bounded before it is written: the arrival spine's
unique row per kind per local day IS the throttle, the worker re-checks the
same claim before spending, and the reservation is reconciled on every exit
including each failure path. Without a provider, without consent, or against an
exhausted budget the row stays line-less and the surface falls back to the
deterministic lead — the chip and the provisional-to-final flip are unaffected.

The chip's time string is formatted client-side after mount; `justIn.at`
crosses the wire as an ISO instant so the server never renders a local
wall-clock time the browser would disagree with.

+ *     racing spine job, not a retry, not a hand-sent job.
+ *   - The SPEND is reserved before the call and reconciled on EVERY exit,
+ *     including each failure path. A provider that times out still burned
+ *     upstream tokens; a reservation that is never reconciled is a silent
+ *     over-charge against the user's own daily ceiling.
+ *   - The FLOOR is complete without any of this. No provider, no consent, an

+ *     leaves the row line-less, and a line-less row still drives the "just in"
+ *     chip and the provisional→final flip. The reaction is a state change; the

+ *
+ * The grounding is deliberately the digest itself: it is already cached,

Subject: [PATCH 08/21] feat(workouts): generate the per-workout insight on
 arrival, never on view
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The spine dispatches a generator-free enqueue; the worker resolves the
provider. Five gates stand in front of it in ascending cost order — both
modules on, ten-minute duration floor, a hard count of four a day in the
user's own timezone, an input hash over the deterministic evidence, and the
token ledger inside the shared status chokepoint. Each refusal returns a
status rather than throwing, because retrying against a ceiling that does not
move until midnight is an unbounded loop.

The detail route only reads: a workout with no row serves null and renders no
card, which is every workout that predates this and every re-synced one. An
undecryptable paragraph degrades to no card rather than failing the page.

+/**
+ * The per-workout Activity Insight worker.
+ *
+ * Dispatched by the data-arrival spine when a workout genuinely LANDS. There is
+ * no other trigger and there is deliberately no regenerate button: a per-workout
+ * provider button is a saturation surface, and a read path that could generate
+ * would turn opening the workout list on a fresh install into a bill.
+ *
+ * The consequence is worth stating because it looks like a bug and is not: every
+ * workout that predates this feature, and every workout re-synced from a
+ * provider backfill, renders NO card, forever. That is the design. The spine's
+ * recency classifier drops historical samples before anything is enqueued, the
+ * upsert seams only emit for rows they actually created, and nothing on the read
+ * side ever writes here.
+ *
+ * Five gates stand in front of the provider, in ascending cost order, and each
+ * is a claim on its own rather than a layer of one claim:
+ *
+ *   1. modules   — `workouts` AND `insights` on
+ *   2. duration  — at least ten minutes of session
+ *   3. daily cap — at most four paragraphs generated today
+ *   4. inputHash — the evidence is unchanged since the last paragraph
+ *   5. budget    — the token ledger, inside `runStatusCompletion`
+ *
+ * Gate 3 and gate 4 both independently stop a device double-post, which is why
+ * they are both here: the singleton queue key that would normally collapse a
+ * burst is best-effort, and a lost singleton race is an ordinary event.
+ *
+ * Every business refusal RETURNS a status. It does not throw. pg-boss retries a
+ * failed job, and retrying against a daily cap that does not move until midnight
+ * is an unbounded loop. Only a genuine transient fault escapes to earn its
+ * backed-off retries.

Subject: [PATCH 09/21] test(workouts): pin each rung of the activity-insight
 gate stack
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

One test per gate, each asserting the refusal reason AND that the provider
entry was never reached — a gate that refuses but still resolves a provider
would pass a reason-only assertion while costing what the gate exists to
prevent. The cap and the hash are asserted independently of each other, since
the singleton queue key that normally collapses a burst is best-effort.

The backfill fixture walks the real chain: 750 historical sessions plus 40
re-synced ones plus one fresh, through the live classifier and the live spine
worker, yielding exactly one generation.

The peak detector changed under test: on a flat ride the ninetieth percentile
sits a beat above the mean, so a bpm of sampling noise read as two efforts the
rider did not do. Peaks now need an absolute prominence over the session mean
as well.

+ * The cost claim, proved against a fixture rather than asserted about intent.
+ *
+ * "Re-synced and historical workouts produce zero provider calls" is the single
+ * property this feature has to hold, because every ingest path in the product
+ * is also a backfill path: a ten-year Apple export, a WHOOP re-sync after a
+ * token refresh, a catch-up after downtime. If any of those turned into
+ * generations, the feature would be a bill rather than a card.
+ *
+ * So this walks the REAL chain end to end with only the edges mocked:
+ *
+ *     emitWorkoutArrivalIfCreated / emitDataArrival   (real classifier)
+ *   → boss.send                                        (counted)
+ *   → runDataArrival                                   (real worker)
+ *   → enqueueWorkoutInsight                            (counted)
+ *
+ * Nothing in the middle is stubbed, so a future edit that weakens the recency
+ * test, the created-vs-updated test, or the spine's dispatch shows up here as a
+ * non-zero count rather than as a passing test about a mock.

Subject: [PATCH 10/21] test(daily): pin the just-in window, the degrade floor,
 and the hydration edge
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three properties, each with a mutation-verified guard:

The chip and the line run on DIFFERENT clocks and must keep doing so. The chip
expires after three hours; the line stands for the rest of the local day.
Collapsing them onto one clock reads like a simplification and silently deletes
the day's read at lunchtime.

Degradation is the headline. For every reason a line can fail to exist — no
provider, no consent, an exhausted budget, a dead provider, an unusable output
— the row stays line-less, the reservation is reconciled, and the chip and the
provisional-to-final flip still work. The degraded digest is built through the
real composer rather than a hand-shaped fixture, so the assertions cannot agree
with themselves.

The server pass carries no wall-clock time. The hero paints on the SSR pass
because it is the LCP element, so a locale-formatted time inside it would differ
from the browser's — React #418. The tests render through the server snapshot,
which is exactly the pass that must stay clock-free.

The seeded end-to-end spec lands a sleep batch through the real ingest route,
writes the arrival marker, and asserts the chip and the phase flip in place on
a refetch trigger the digest hook already declares — no reload, no new cadence.

+ * dashboard starts reading differently on the cadence it already runs. No new
+ * poll, no push, no socket — a state change, not a notification.
+ *
+ * The spec drives that end-to-end against the real read path:
+ *
+ *   1. load the dashboard with nothing fresh — no chip, day is provisional;
+ *   2. land last night's sleep through the REAL batch endpoint, and the
+ *      arrival marker the spine's worker would have written;
+ *   3. bring the tab back to focus — which is one of the three refetch
+ *      triggers the digest hook ALREADY declares (`refetchOnWindowFocus`,
+ *      alongside `staleTime` and the 120 s foreground poll). Using the focus
+ *      trigger keeps the test inside the real cadence while staying well
+ *      under the poll interval, which no test timeout would survive;
+ *   4. assert the chip appeared and the phase flipped — in place, no reload.
+ *
+ * The marker is seeded directly rather than waited for from pg-boss: whether
+ * the queue drains inside the e2e web server is the SPINE's contract and has
+ * its own tests. What this spec owns is everything downstream of a marker

+ *    server's locale and timezone are not the reader's. The chip therefore
+ *    renders its SLOT on both passes and fills the time in only after mount.
+ *    These tests render through `renderToStaticMarkup`, which takes the SERVER
+ *    snapshot of `useSyncExternalStore` — i.e. precisely the pass that must
+ *    carry no formatted time.
+ *
+ * 2. NO LAYOUT SHIFT. The reaction line REPLACES the lead; it is never a second

Subject: [PATCH 11/21] test(coach): pin the workout launch's tenancy, closure
 and snapshot-once
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Four suites, each mutation-checked against a reverted protection:

- route-workout-scope: the workout row is read exactly once across a ten-turn
  conversation that keeps sending the id, the where clause always names
  userId, another user's id resolves to nothing and the chat proceeds, and
  the section sits inside the health-data fence.
- workout-evidence: the numbers-only closure. An instruction-shaped
  sport_type — reachable through the restore path, which types the column as
  free text — folds to "other" and never reaches the block; a free-text leaf
  at any depth throws.
- page-launch-params: an unknown ?scope= is ignored silently, and ?workout=
  yields to both ?c= and the fenced ?doc= path.
- composite-score-anatomy-coach: every score sheet carries an opener, a
  scope narrowed to the composite's inputs, and auto-send.

resolveLaunchState's shape assertion gains the workoutId field.

+/**
+ * v1.31.0 — the workout-scoped launch (`?workout=` / the detail page's
+ * "Ask why").
+ *
+ * Three contracts are pinned here, in order of how much they would cost if
+ * they broke:
+ *
+ *  1. SNAPSHOT-ONCE. The workout evidence is read and pinned on the FIRST turn
+ *     only. If a later turn rebuilt it, per-turn work would grow with the
+ *     conversation — which is exactly the cost the snapshot-once design
+ *     removed. The multi-turn case asserts the workout read fires exactly once
+ *     across a conversation that keeps sending the id.
+ *  2. TENANCY. The row is narrowed by `{ id, userId }`. Another user's workout
+ *     id therefore resolves to nothing, and the conversation proceeds on the
+ *     standard snapshot rather than leaking a foreign session's numbers.
+ *  3. The evidence rides INSIDE the fenced snapshot payload, so it inherits the
+ *     data/instruction contract the fence states.
+ *
+ * Mock scaffold mirrors route-snapshot-once.test.ts so `../route` imports
+ * cleanly.

Subject: [PATCH 12/21] fix(workouts): enforce the numbers-only evidence claim
 in code
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The projection's central claim was carried by a comment. It is now walked
before it is returned: any non-numeric leaf at any depth throws, and the only
two string leaves are allowlisted by shape — the sport type against the schema
enum itself, and the day key against its format.

This matters because sport_type is a TEXT column whose API write path is
enum-constrained but whose backup-restore path accepts any non-empty string, so
a restored row can carry arbitrary text. It is re-asserted at the projection
boundary rather than trusted from the column. The heart-rate provenance string
is dropped rather than allowlisted, and route geometry stays consumed-not-carried
— it yields one number, and location history may not ride a prompt.

Own-history rows now collapse cross-source twins through the canonical picker,
as the detail page's comparison already did; a session recorded by two paired
watches was inflating the sample size and biasing every median.

+ *     anywhere on this path is the numeric WHOOP zone-duration array, and that
+ *     goes through `parseWhoopZoneDurations` before it gets near here.

+ *     `z.string().min(1)`, so a restored row can carry arbitrary
+ *     attacker-chosen text. It is therefore re-asserted against the enum HERE,
+ *     at projection time, and anything unrecognised folds to `"other"`. The
+ *     enum is imported from the schema module rather than copied, because a
+ *     hand-copied vocabulary drifts.

Subject: [PATCH 14/21] test(workouts): prove the insight row's constraints
 against real Postgres
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The one-paragraph-per-workout claim is a unique index, the cascade is an FK,
and the daily-cap window is a SQL fact — a mocked upsert reports success for
all three regardless.

+/**
+ * The `WorkoutInsight` row's structural claims, against real Postgres.
+ *
+ * Unit mocks cannot prove any of this, and each one is load-bearing:
+ *
+ *   - **One paragraph per workout** is a unique INDEX. A mocked `upsert` will
+ *     happily accept a second row for the same workout; the database is what
+ *     actually refuses, and it is the half of the double-post defence that
+ *     holds when the singleton queue key does not.
+ *   - **The cascade** is an FK constraint. Workout deletes are HARD deletes, so
+ *     a paragraph that outlived its workout would be an orphaned description of
+ *     a session the user believes they erased. That is a data-retention claim,
+ *     not a tidiness one, and only the database enforces it.
+ *   - **The daily-cap count** reads an index over `(user_id, generated_at)`.
+ *     Whether the window actually selects the right rows is a SQL fact.
+ *
+ * Every test writes through Prisma the way the worker does, so a schema change
+ * that dropped a constraint fails here rather than in production.

The paragraph is model output. Rendering it as markup would be an XSS surface,
and this project ships no markdown library so the question stays closed — the
test is what keeps that from being treated as a formatting decision.

Subject: [PATCH 18/21] fix(insights): register the arrival reaction line with
 the tone harness
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The harness landed in v1.30.35, after the slices that built this
release were already cut — so the reaction line's prompt module was
never registered, and its own docblock's warning against the
two-locale collapse was untested. Registering it surfaced a real gap:
the meaning-first instruction lived only in the system prompt's own
words, never in the user prompt in the family's shared phrasing, which
is where the rest of the surfaces carry it and where the tone contract
checks for it. The German body carried no such instruction at all.

Threads locale through the user-prompt builder so the fixed
instruction line matches the reader's own reply language, and wires
the per-user per-day opener-archetype rotation the milestone spec
called for and the first implementation had not connected.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.31.0] — "The record that reacts" — 2026-07-19
+
+A milestone release: the record now visibly responds when something lands,
+instead of waiting for a daily rollup to notice.
+
+- **Today shows what just came in.** A completed night's sleep, a workout, a
+  first weigh-in of the day — the home screen now carries a calm "just in"
+  note for a few hours after each one, and at most one written line a day per
+  kind, grounded in your own numbers. Nothing changes if you run without an
+  AI provider: the note is the garnish, not the feature. The underlying
+  change that makes this possible without new polling or a flood of
+  background work: every write path that can produce a genuinely new reading
+  now emits a single typed event, day-scoped and de-duplicated, that a mass
+  import or a provider re-sync produces none of — a ten-year import or a
+  month of catch-up sync stays silent, by construction, not by luck.
+- **A finished workout gets its own paragraph.** Opening a recent session now
+  shows a short, grounded read of that one activity — duration, effort,
+  where it sits against your own recent sessions for the sport — with no
+  training advice and no target zones. It is generated once, the first time
+  you open a fresh session, never on re-sync and never for older workouts
+  already in your record.
+- **"Ask why" reaches every read-only card.** Every per-metric status card,
+  every derived-score page, and a finished workout now carries a way straight
+  into the coach, pre-loaded with just that card's own data so the
+  conversation starts already grounded — not with a blank prompt.
+- **The lab-marker card and the offline metric texts speak with the same
+  voice as everything else** — meaning first, in your own language across
+  all six locales, checked by an automated tone pass that now runs on every
+  change to these surfaces so this kind of drift gets caught before it ships
+  again.
+- **The dashboard layout stops discarding a comparison choice on save,** and
+  four clinical widgets stop disappearing from a saved layout — both from a
+  save made by a client that does not know those particular fields yet.
+- **Mood and BMI reach the app's home screen**, and a medication pen can now
+  carry the maker and printed strength that show up in the native pen list.
+- **Every new AI call this release can cause is metered and bounded**: a
+  daily cap per kind, a duplicate-content check that makes a re-post free,
+  and a token reservation that is always reconciled, including on every
+  failure path — the same discipline the rest of the AI surface already
+  holds to.
+
+One migration this release (0257); an additional dashboard-widget migration
+carried over from the prior line. No breaking changes.
+
