In @.claude/skills/ponytail/SKILL.md:
- Line 41: Update the Rung 5 candidates entry in SKILL.md so package:collection
is described as a direct dependency rather than a transitive dependency,
matching the repository audit guidance; leave the other dependency descriptions
unchanged.
In `@docs/audits/2026-08-battery-and-code-audit.md`:
- Line 22: Update the “Confirmed drains, all fixed in this change set” heading
to avoid claiming that every confirmed drain is fixed; clarify that only the
listed drain paths are fixed while preserving the documented remaining
notification cost.
- Around line 99-101: Update the audit’s “Deliberate semantic changes” section
to record maintainer sign-off for the widget updated_at contract and Android
background wristOn/liveHr behavior, including the responsible owner and approval
status or a link to the approval.
In `@lib/compute/background_derivation.dart`:
- Around line 14-23: Restore the two public task-name constants in background
derivation, using the existing unique names required by main.dart for
cancelByUniqueName() cleanup. Keep them non-private and preserve the associated
cancellation behavior so only these two persisted tasks are targeted.
In `@lib/compute/derive_scheduler.dart`:
- Around line 43-52: Route all background derive triggers, including calls from
app state and _teardownSession, through a single DeriveDebouncer-controlled
entry point. Update DeriveScheduler.markStoredData() and requestHeavy() to apply
the Android 20-minute/45-minute background pacing tier instead of only their
8-second and 2-second settle timers, while preserving normal foreground
derivation behavior.
In `@lib/health/health_export.dart`:
- Around line 510-515: Update the priority-day decision flow around
shouldAttempt so a priority day skipped solely because okMs triggers the
success-side throttle still invokes exportBulk with no day argument. Preserve
the existing early return for retry-backoff cases and retain current behavior
when the priority day is eligible or otherwise skipped.
In `@lib/state/app_state.dart`:
- Around line 2420-2425: Update _maybeDowngradeLiveForBackground to coordinate
the asynchronous Android disableLiveStreams() operation with foreground reclaim:
track or await the downgrade, re-check the current foreground/live-consumer
state after completion, and restore full live streams when needed so a pending
background downgrade cannot leave foreground HR and IMU streams disabled.

Include all three deliberate semantic changes in the sign-off scope.
The section at Lines 59-65 lists three changes. This text names only the widget updated_at change and the Android background wristOn behavior. The engine-less relay delay at Lines 62-63 is also observable behavior. Require an explicit accept/revert decision for all three entries.

Ran a second adversarial pass (Codex, single-shot) over the full diff on top of my own multi-agent review and CodeRabbit's. It caught 2 Blockers + 2 Majors the earlier passes missed — all now fixed or bounded:

this is good work and i want it in. the audit doc is honest in a way that makes it easy to review — naming what you refuted, saying plainly that nothing was measured, and asking for sign-off rather than assuming it. deleting you also found a real bug i hadn't noticed: a gesture-stopped workout leaving the full 100hz flood armed with no consumer, re-armed every 30s. and you didn't walk into the traps i was worried about — no three things before i merge: 1. the one test you added is red. 2. the pr body and audit say something the code doesn't do. "wrist state still lands with each 15-min backfill's historical records" — 3. it conflicts with main and it's the dangerous kind. #261 landed since your merge base and rewrote widget coderabbit's ones i agree with:
not blocking, but i'd change:
on measurement — you're upfront that there isn't any, and i appreciate that. #200 was closed on code reasoning and the drain persisted, so if you can get a before/after the skill file: happy to have it, one nit — it lists |

Why
A Pixel reports Edge as the top battery consumer without the app being opened. A full-repo audit (method + complete findings in
docs/audits/2026-08-battery-and-code-audit.md, added by this PR) traced the avoidable part of that drain and fixed it, plus a sweep of hand-rolled code replaceable by stdlib/native/in-repo helpers.Two things the audit cleared: PR #256 (live HR) arms nothing — the background stream predates it; and the old WorkManager derive tasks never actually run (main.dart cancels them). The drain was structural.
What was burning battery (all verified against the code, then fixed)
notifyListeners), plus a blind re-arm write every 30 sDeriveDebouncerbackground tier (~1 pass/45 min), heavy throttled to 1/30 min on background reconnects, Firebase trace only on heavy/force. The debouncer's permanent 2 s poll became a computed one-shot, poked on foreground so the ≤15 s foreground tier is unaffectedmain()on every process start, with four background triggers starting the process (15-min worker even when unpaired, two 30-min widget alarms serving a once-a-day staleness bit, CDM binds on routine dropouts)EdgeApplication.ensureEngine, created from MainActivity + the tracking service afterstartForeground); widget/worker/CDM/Tasker wakes run zero Dart; KeepAliveWorker paired-gated + self-cancelling + re-scheduled fromonStartCommand; widget alarms 30 min → 6 h; CDM start guarded onrunningadapterStatestream +ReconnectPolicybackoff; cancellation poll 5 s → 60 sactive+ 15-min heal; wake-window 25 min; supervisor 5 min; change-gates + hoisted regexes; step sensor batches at 5 min (matches its 5-min bins)Cleanups (ponytail ladder: reuse > stdlib > native > custom)

No Flutter toolchain on the audit machine, so this diff was verified by three independent full-file review passes (compile surface, call sites, test impact) instead of
flutter analyze— CI is the real gate here. Five route_tracker tests were updated for the newpathEmitEveryknob (Duration.zeroin tests); every other existing test was checked call-site-compatible (new params are optional with behavior-preserving defaults).Maintainer considerations
Beyond the review itself (details in the audit doc §Maintainer considerations): a before/after night of
adb dumpsys batterystats/ Battery Historian would quantify this change set for the release note; and the onboarding's battery-optimization-exemption steering — which amplified every waste fixed here — may deserve softer copy once lower drain is confirmed on-device.Follow-ups not in this PR
See the audit doc §Follow-ups — headline items: vendor a ~100-line native NotificationListenerService with native-side package filtering (the plugin currently extracts icons/pictures for every phone notification, even with the relay off, and the heal path drives its private channel handlers); stream the telemetry
