NOOP 10.6.0

NOOP v10.6.0

A release about choosing how your training is scored, giving hardware back the time it needs to do its
own job, and stopping the phone from doing work it was never going to finish.

Effort, on a scale you pick

Banister TRIMP, wired end to end and selectable (#1562, #1563). Effort has always been a
thresholded Edwards score. Banister TRIMP is now a first-class alternative, complete with its own
log-map denominator (#1561) rather than borrowed constants, and the docs no longer claim NOOP uses a
method it did not. The toggle sits where someone looking for it would look (#1580).

A workout is scored against the day's HRmax (#1565). A session used to be able to score against a
different maximum than the day containing it, which made a hard workout and a hard day disagree. The
strap log now also records what each workout's Effort was scored against, and whether the strap saw the
session at all (#1566) — and when a day detects no workout, it says which gate ate it (#1574).

The phone stops re-scoring all night

A background re-score that can finish (#1557). A re-score that ran out of background time restarted
from the beginning on the next attempt, so on some phones it never completed at all and days simply
refused to compute. It now runs where it can finish, and a pass that is owed is recorded durably so a
process killed mid-way leaves evidence the next one can read.

Diagnostics that name the pass (#1556, #1559). Every re-score now says what triggered it and whether
anything actually changed, and the cache ratio is counted honestly. An active trace no longer disables
the reuse cache it was meant to observe (#1575).

Hardware gets its time back

The Oura ring is handed out of daytime mode (#1526, #1550, thanks @pipiche38). The 15-second
keep-alive held the ring in live-HR daytime mode whenever the app was not on screen — which blocks the
ring's own overnight sleep suite. NOOP now suspends the re-engage and actively disables the mode, on
teardown as well as on suspend. Measured against the ring's own output across eleven nights.

The bond loop can escape while backgrounded (#1544, thanks @justinjor-bit). A pause with no
background escape cost a full night of banked data; it now has one.

Steps calibration asks the right straps (#1579, #1581, #1582, thanks @kavemang). A WHOOP 5 no longer
sees a prompt that cannot apply to it, and a blank Steps tile routes to calibration instead of nothing.

Sleep and Health Connect

The night's heart-rate line, in Classic (#1552, thanks @bartmuskala). The card that was missing its
chart has it. The stage breakdown is ramp-aware and the redundant, mis-ordered legend is gone (#1551).

VO₂max flows to Health Connect (#1553, #1554). NOOP already computed it; it now exports it, and
existing installs are asked once for the permission rather than silently lacking it.

Smaller things that were wrong

• Pause and discard a live workout (#1533, thanks @bhelm), and the SDNN index ported to Android (#1535).
• Back from More returns to More (#1571, thanks @SpurgtBror), not to Today.
• No horizontal bounce on iOS (#1532, thanks @evoveotech), including the four ScrollViews the first sweep missed (#1549).
• Home is localized on both platforms (#1490, thanks @bhelm).
• PPG burst boundaries survive decoding (#1583, thanks @kvnloo).
• A WHOOP 5/MG no longer logs a clock warning it cannot act on (#1609), and no longer derives a clock offset from how long it went unworn.
• The phone smart alarm can skip chosen days (#1612) — a weekend off without turning the alarm off and having to remember to turn it back on.

Thanks

Thanks to @anwrgo6000-oss, @bartmuskala, @bhelm, @Dessalines39394, @evoveotech, @justinjor-bit,
@kavemang, @kvnloo, @mailingjash, @pipiche38, @SpurgtBror and @vishk23 — for the pull requests above and
for the reports behind them. A good bug report with a strap log attached is often the harder half, and
several of the fixes in this release exist because someone took the time to capture one.
