adds Bangle.js as a pairable band. pairs, connects, banks raw notifications, never writes to the peripheral. no decoded signals yet, experimental until real hardware confirms it.

Summary by Sourcery

Add experimental, pairs-only support for Bangle.js and other devices exposing Nordic UART by connecting briefly and preserving notifications as undecoded raw data.

New Features:

  • Add experimental Bangle.js pairing and synchronization support for generic Nordic UART devices.
  • Bank incoming Bangle.js notifications as raw archive data without decoding or writing to the peripheral.
  • Expose Bangle.js pairing, manual sync, forget, and background sync flows in the app.

Enhancements:

  • Use arrival time for raw notification data and avoid declaring unsupported signals or checkpoints.
  • Throttle background Bangle.js synchronization attempts with a cooldown.

Tests:

  • Add coverage for raw-only adapter behavior, no-write guarantees, registry integration, link lifecycle behavior, and background sync cooldowns.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for pairing Bangle.js watches and compatible Nordic UART Bluetooth devices.
    • Bangle.js devices now appear in the device list with a watch icon and dedicated pairing guidance.
    • Incoming watch data is stored as raw bytes without signal decoding.
    • Added manual watch synchronization with success and error feedback.
    • Background synchronization now periodically attempts to connect to paired Bangle.js watches.
    • Added the ability to forget paired Bangle.js devices.

adds a notify-class entry for nordic uart service (the generic serial pipe
bangle.js exposes over an espruino JS repl, no byte-level record format at
all). pairs anything advertising the service, connects, archives every
chunk raw. zero derivable signals — same shape as the oura/ble_hrs entries.

Reviewer's Guide

Adds experimental Bangle.js support by matching the generic Nordic UART Service, subscribing only to TX notifications, and banking every received chunk as raw bytes without writes, decoding, signal declarations, or offload checkpoints; the pairing and profile UI clearly communicates the broad device match and undecoded behavior.

Hey - I've reviewed your changes and they look great!

Sourcery assessment

Needs a human reviewer. The adapter persists every notification chunk as raw bytes, so reverting stops future collection but does not remove data already written to raw_archive; that accumulated data would need a bounded cleanup. It introduces no decoded measurements or irreversible device actions, so an ordinary implementation problem should otherwise be repairable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds experimental Bangle.js support through Nordic UART notifications. The adapter forwards raw notification chunks without decoding or handshakes. The registry, BLE sync host, background sync, and pairing UI expose Bangle.js as a generic notify-only device.

Changes

Bangle.js support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Nordic UART registry contract
lib/ble/adapters/_registry.dart
Adds Nordic UART UUID constants, registers Bangle.js as a notify-only band, anchors data to arrival time, and declares no verified signals.
Raw notification adapter
lib/ble/adapters/banglejs.dart
Adds BangleJsAdapter, which forwards each Nordic UART TX notification as raw bytes in a SampleBatch without parsing, writes, handshakes, or checkpoints.
BLE sync and raw archive
lib/ble/banglejs_link.dart
Adds serialized connection handling, GATT validation, timed listening, teardown, and hexadecimal archiving for received UART bytes.
Pairing and device presentation
lib/ui2/pairing/device_picker.dart, lib/ui2/profile/devices.dart, lib/ble/hrs_link.dart, lib/l10n/app_en.arb
Adds Bangle.js pairing, device presentation, sync feedback, localized text, and device cleanup handling.
Background synchronization
lib/sync/background_sync.dart
Adds a cooldown-gated Bangle.js sync attempt after the existing background sync work.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to da3b9

Bangle.js background sync can wait indefinitely for a BLE secondary-link slot, which may cause headless synchronization to exceed its allowed runtime. Bound the slot wait before merging.

BangleJsLink connects, gives the watch a bounded window to print
whatever it prints, banks every chunk verbatim, disconnects. Wired
into the profile devices screen's sync button and the background
sync piggyback, same shape as the ring. forgetDevice now tears this
link down before dropping the row instead of falling through to a
disarm() that knows nothing about it.

Also localizes the picker's Bangle.js blurb (it was the one branch
bypassing AppLocalizations).

Missing localization key

The code references l?.devicesCouldNotReachWatch, but devicesCouldNotReachWatch was not added to lib/l10n/app_en.arb. This will cause a compilation error because the generated AppLocalizations class will not have this getter.

Possible issue
Use .timeout() instead of Future.any to prevent unhandled errors

Using Future.any with a delayed future can lead to unhandled asynchronous errors if
host.run(link) throws after the timeout completes. Use .timeout() instead, which
safely ignores late errors and is the standard Dart idiom for bounding execution
time without leaking exceptions.

lib/ble/banglejs_link.dart [139-141]

-          await Future.any(
-              [host.run(link), Future<void>.delayed(_listenWindow)]);
+          await host.run(link).timeout(_listenWindow, onTimeout: () {});
           return true;
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5

__

Why: Although the comment specifies that host.run does not throw, using .timeout() is the idiomatic Dart approach. It is cleaner and avoids leaving a dangling timer if host.run completes before the window expires.

Possible issue
Check paired status before setting timestamp

Verify that a device is paired by checking await BangleJsLink.pairedRow() != null
before setting the attempt timestamp in SharedPreferences. Otherwise, headless wakes
when no watch is paired will record a timestamp and start a 20-minute cooldown,
delaying background sync if a device is paired shortly thereafter.

lib/sync/background_sync.dart [238-248]

     try {
-      final prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
-      final now = DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch;
-      if (shouldAttemptBangleJsSync(
-          prefs.getInt(_kLastBangleJsAttemptMs), now)) {
-        await prefs.setInt(_kLastBangleJsAttemptMs, now);
-        await BangleJsLink.instance.sync();

+          await prefs.setInt(_kLastBangleJsAttemptMs, now);
+          await BangleJsLink.instance.sync();
+        }
       }
     } catch (e) {
       debugPrint('[bgsync] banglejs sync skipped: $e');
     }
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: Checking if a Bangle.js device is paired before updating _kLastBangleJsAttemptMs prevents triggering a unnecessary 20-minute cooldown during headless wakes when no device is paired.

Low

Mid-window disconnect used to hold the secondary-link slot for the
full 20s regardless, since run() was fire-and-forget. Future.any
against the window lets an early stream end (host.run never rethrows
a stream error, only completes) finish the sync sooner.

fixed in 966add3 — swapped unawaited(host.run(link)) + fixed Future.delayed for await Future.any([host.run(link), Future<void>.delayed(_listenWindow)]). Re the 'unhandled asynchronous exception' framing: BandHost.run() never actually rethrows a stream error — its listen(onError: ...) logs and calls finish() on the same completer as onDone, so the future only ever completes normally, never with an error, on either path. The real problem was just the wasted wait: a mid-window disconnect held the secondary-link slot for the full 20s for no reason. Future.any fixes that.

Every runHeadlessSync wake paid the full ~20s window unconditionally,
sequentially after the WHOOP drain, even for a paired watch that has
nothing to say. Gate it behind a 20-minute cooldown persisted in
SharedPreferences, same pattern as the staleness cooldown above it.
