Google turns the legacy Fitbit Web API off on 30 October 2026 (support
ended on 30 September). From that day the hourly poll, the backfill,
the sleep repair and the token refresh make no call, the connect, sync
and test routes refuse with `provider_retired`, and the connection
reads as not connected to the health read and the watchdog, so the
shutdown pages nobody and asks nobody to reconnect. The connection row
and everything it imported stay.
The status envelope publishes `retirement` on the Fitbit entry (the
day, whether it has come, the successor), and the Fitbit card shows
when the connection stops, how to move to Google Health (same devices,
one more consent, tokens cannot be carried over) and that the data
stays; sync and connect grey out after the day. Both integrations can
run side by side meanwhile: every type Fitbit writes is laddered with
Fitbit just above Google Health, so a day both deliver counts once.
The test setups pin the turndown off, so the Fitbit suites do not turn
red on the day; the turndown's own tests flip it.
- ai-providers: /api/ai/test returns provider type, model, token usage
and a sample with a reasonCode on failure; drop drifted line numbers
- apple-health: source-priority overrides moved to /settings/sources;
cite the constant instead of line numbers
- data-import: four import paths (medication dose history added); ECG
and metric-typed clinical records are imported; measurement
externalId documented; CSV re-uploads dedupe on the natural key;
mood loggedAt defaults to the start of the given date; the type
table is a curated subset with /api/meta/capabilities authoritative
- fitbit: the source-priority ladder ships, FITBIT is ranked in every
default ladder
- google-health: Sources is its own settings section, not nested under
Integrations
- withings: disconnect unsubscribes the webhook and deletes stored
tokens without revoking the Withings-side grant; the connection test
is self-serve, not admin-only; the safety-net cron is hourly;
refresh stale references
The recurring no-briefing day had a chain of causes, closed end to end:
Every failure path in the nightly pregenerate + the comprehensive generator
now annotates a queryable cause (several classes — features-error,
payload-too-large, aborted, generator-failed — previously bumped a counter
with zero trace). A failed nightly warm enqueues one bounded retry ~45
minutes later (singleton per user, existing budgets apply), so a transient
provider hiccup heals before morning. A cached payload that carries NO
briefing no longer satisfies the 24h POST short-circuit nor the
unchanged-content hash gate — a once-stripped briefing could previously
block its own regeneration indefinitely. The card surfaces the omission
reason persistently (grounding strip, generation failure, not attempted)
with a forcing retry.
Documentation corrected against code truth: Withings credentials are
per-user (the documented env path never existed; the dead example entries
and manifest rows are gone, and WITHINGS_WEBHOOK_SECRET is now actually
whitelisted in compose — stock deploys could never deliver it); the classic
Fitbit portal no longer accepts new registrations; the backup-restore
example no longer mints a fresh encryption key and uses pnpm dlx tsx; the
TLS guide describes the real client model (two CA-level SPKI pins,
any-match, leaf renewals need no build); scaling/admin references fixed;
the operator-shared subscription provider is documented.
The Fitbit integration connects through the classic Fitbit Web API, so a
self-hoster registers a Fitbit developer app at dev.fitbit.com — but the
setup guide walked users through creating a Google Cloud OAuth client,
whose client id the Fitbit sign-in rejects (unauthorized_client). Rewrite
the guide for the dev.fitbit.com flow (app type, HTTPS callback, scopes,
PKCE), leave the old page as a pointer, and add a test that keeps the
documented scopes and endpoints in sync with the client so the guide
cannot drift from the code again. Flags the September 2026 sunset of the
classic Fitbit Web API.
