NOOP v11.5.0

A release about NOOP holding a thread: in the coach, in the charts, and in what the strap log is willing
to claim.

A coach that keeps the thread

The coach was a single question and a single answer. It now behaves like something you can return to.

Replies stream in as they are written, so a long answer starts being readable immediately instead of
appearing all at once at the end. The conversation persists between sessions, so you can put the phone
down and pick the thread back up. It can speak its answers, and take a question by voice. A morning brief
sums up the night behind you without being asked.

There are home-screen widgets and Siri shortcuts for the things worth reaching in one step, and an
optional Today launcher card, requested in #1862 by @kggreco11, which stays off until you turn it on.

Your heart rate on the home screen

A widget showing live bpm with the recent trace behind it, on both platforms. It lets the launcher decide
the layout rather than assuming a size, so it sits properly wherever you put it.

Charts that claim less

Four things were wrong at once, and each made the others harder to see.

Points were spaced evenly regardless of date, so a fortnight you did not wear the strap looked the same
as two consecutive nights. Points are now spaced by date, and a gap takes the width it spans.

Every metric was drawn as though it were maximally volatile, which flattened the ones that genuinely move
and exaggerated the ones that do not. Scales are anchored per metric now.

Daily scores were drawn as lines. A line between two daily scores asserts the value travelled through
everything between them, and for a score computed once a day that is simply false. On a series that
swings twenty points overnight it is most of what reads as noise. They are bars now, and a day with no
reading is an empty slot of the right width rather than a plunge to zero.

And the Line and Bars setting in Settings only ever reached the Trends tab. It now applies to the detail
chart you reach by tapping a ring on Today, which is where most people were looking at it.

Alongside that, HRV and Resting HR carry a dashed rule at your own baseline. An absolute HRV number says
little on its own: 42 only means something once you know your normal is 54. The rule is drawn from the
same fold the vitals grid bands against, so the chart and the tile beside it cannot disagree, and it stays
hidden until the baseline has enough nights to be worth trusting.

Skin temperature, as a temperature

Skin temperature was shown as a deviation from baseline, which is the right number for spotting illness
and the wrong one for answering what your temperature is. It now leads with the measured value, with a
Settings choice if you prefer the difference, and the preference applies across the window rather than
only the newest night. Reported in #622 by @bartmuskala.

A Fahrenheit import used to be stored as though it were Celsius. It is converted on the way in now, which
was #111 from @whisp0.

Sleep

A night that the detector chopped into fragments, each too short to count on its own, scored as no night
at all. Those fragments are bridged back into the night they were, reported in #1937 by @bartmuskala.

The filled hypnogram can be dragged to read the clock time under your finger, asked for in #1855 by
@AussieFries. Its axis no longer mislabels a partial timeline as beginning at onset.

A night measured from heart rate alone now reports the HRV it actually measured rather than nothing, and
the Sleep tab stamps a carried value with the day it came from, so an older night can no longer read as
yesterday.

Steps and the day boundary

Step counting and the day boundary now follow your own sleep rather than the clock, so a late night stops
splitting one day's activity across two. The steps calibration also says which half of its input is
missing: asking for phone-step days is no help when what is absent is strap movement.

A wake time for each day

Weekday and weekend wake times can differ. The per-day override drives the strap alarm and the backup
notification too, not only the phone alarm.

Re-scores that take a fraction of the time

Re-scoring re-read sixty days of movement on every pass to fit one steps coefficient, whether or not any
of it had changed, and threw the answer away on every restart. It now re-folds only the days whose
movement actually moved, and keeps what it learned across launches. On a worn library that phase dropped
from roughly thirty-three seconds to under three. Reported in #1538 by @justinjor-bit.

The per-day work behind it is measured now rather than estimated, so the next thing worth speeding up can
be chosen from a number instead of a guess.

The strap log stops guessing

A connection your own phone was holding could be reported as the strap refusing to pair, which sent
people chasing a pairing problem that did not exist. Reported in #1997 by @semoi.

A non-active strap could be scanned, connected and drained while the one you selected sat idle. The strap
you chose is the one that gets connected and credited, from #1881 by @pipiche38.

A bond that ends now records why, in wording that reads the same in every language, and a disconnect
records how long the link held and whether anything was banked. Serial numbers are masked wherever a log
might be shared, including the hex-hidden ones.

Languages

Russian joins the supported locales. The German copy has been converted from the formal Sie to the
informal du throughout. A Portuguese string that a find and replace had corrupted is correct again.

Smaller things

Routes import from Apple Health and Health Connect (#1205). The battery pack reports its own charge
without overriding the strap's gauge, from #1935 by @Zebsi235. Body measurements and exercise distance
carry separate unit preferences, asked for in #1913 by @kavemang. The readings table prints each unit
once, reported in #1942 by @Geg0r. Rest says it is provisional while history is still syncing rather than
hiding itself. Tapping a hero ring on Today opens that metric's detail. The bottom bar can overlay the
content and hide itself as you scroll, on both platforms.
