Garmin Connect now offers a Personal API: a person creates a key for
their own account and any client can buy short-lived tokens with it.
HealthLog takes that key in a new Garmin card, checks it with Garmin
before storing it sealed on the user row, and polls every hour.
- Transport: key exchange with a per-process token cache keyed on the
key, one re-exchange on a refused token and then reauth_required, the
429 Retry-After carried to the caller, the China host tried when the
global one does not know the key, answers read with a byte cap, all
egress through safeFetch to the two fixed hosts.
- Sync: daily summaries, sleep summaries, HRV, weigh-ins and the
activity search, chunked to each resource's documented range, read one
after another and stopped at the first rate limit; today's menstrual
cycle summary adds logged period days the person has not logged.
- Backfill: a resumable walk through the shared admission lane that
learns where the history starts from the daily summaries and the
activities, waits out Garmin's rate limit and stamps its marker.
- Types: GARMIN source; BODY_BATTERY and STRESS_LEVEL for Garmin's own
day scores, kept apart from the computed STRESS_SCORE; TRAINING_READINESS
and ACUTE_TRAINING_LOAD for figures a bridge pushes through the ingest
token. All four chart on the recovery page and sit on the ladders,
units, ranges, labels and report groups like the device-native scores.
- Key expiry: learned from a token capped short of a day, else estimated
from the validity picked at connect; the card warns a week ahead and
asks for a new key once Garmin refuses the old one.
- Ledger, health, freshness, watchdog, backup classes, wipe plan,
encrypted-column registry, rotation script, OpenAPI and all ten
locales carry the new integration. The old "no Garmin connector" note
is gone.
Settings now reads as nine groups: Account, Tracking, Arrangement,
Notifications, Health profile, AI, Connections, Data and System. On a
phone one button names the current section and opens the grouped list,
replacing the strip of every section.
What moved, every old address still working:
- Sessions, trusted devices and security activity sit under Security;
the privacy page anchors forward there.
- Notifications holds every reminder kind: the Coach nudges and the
checkup reminder switches joined, and a card names the reminders set
where their subject lives (dose times, cycle reminders).
- Arrangement holds order and view only. Mood tags, the labs biomarker
catalog and on-device text recognition, and the injection sites live on
module pages under /settings/modules/<id>, linked from each Modules row
and from the module's own wrench. /settings/layout/mood redirects.
- The timezone saves on change in the Display card, with a one-tap offer
of the device zone.
- Screening hints sit beside the life circumstances they come from.
- System gains Preview features with the Topics switch.
Duplicates: the Coach and MCP pages show their state and link to the one
switch in Modules (turning MCP off keeps tokens), the Coach overlay shows
the provider and model with a link to Settings > AI instead of a second
set of selects, and the privacy page drops its copy of the export links.
A guard walks every historical /settings address through the redirects
and every forwarded anchor to a page that renders.
Cmd/Ctrl+K or the search control at the end of the top bar opens a
combobox over a client-side index built from the lists the navigation
already renders: pages, Insights pages, every Settings section and card
(deep-linked by a new anchor prop on SettingsCardHeader), the Appearance
sub-pages, module switches and a few actions. Entries follow the module
map, the Coach capability, the admin role and a shared record's grant;
inside somebody else's record no cards, switches or backup are offered.
Ranking is prefix, then word start, then substring, then a small edit
distance, then subsequence, with a short multilingual synonym list. The
empty state shows recent places (per account, in localStorage) and the
main actions. The palette is its own lazily loaded chunk; the top bar
shows a search field where it has room and a magnifier otherwise. The
module switch mutation moves into a shared hook used by the Modules hub
and the palette.
