v25 emitted a gravity vector from offsets that were refuted on real data: z has three distinct values across the sample, x is half an f32, and correlation with the v24 estimate is 0.16/0.22/0.06. Routing it in manufactures immobility.

It was only contained because two skip-guards on the edge side happen to drop v25 before anything reads the field. A decoder that emits a known-wrong number and relies on every downstream consumer remembering to skip it is the bug.

accelG is const [] rather than removed or null — the key set in toMap() is frozen against the parity fixtures and a live column set, and empty-means-absent is already the idiom here (gen5's gravityG does the same, with a test pinning it as "absent, not (0,0,0)"). A zero vector is the same fabricated stillness in a different shape.

ts@7 and the waveform tail are untouched.

Worth noting why this survived: the old test asserted magnitude in 0.8..1.2, and the fake gravity passed that on all three fixture records. It now asserts the field is empty, with the measured evidence in the comment.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Behavior Changes
    • Updated v25 record decoding to expose the Unix timestamp and raw PPG waveform payload.
    • v25 records no longer report derived accelerometer, heart-rate, or optical measurements; these fields remain empty or zero.
    • Preserved waveform data and timestamp framing in the raw payload.
  • Tests
    • Updated validation to reflect the absence of accelerometer data and confirm raw waveform preservation.

inner[69/71/73] never was an accel vector: z has three distinct values
across the corpus, x is the upper half of an f32 starting two bytes
earlier, and it correlates 0.16/0.22/0.06 with the v24 gravity for the
same second. near-constant, so every motion consumer read it as a
perfectly still wrist.

accelG comes back empty rather than (0,0,0) - the field is required and
the toMap key set is frozen (parity oracle + a live sqlite column set),
and empty is already how this package says absent. a zero vector would
just be the same fabricated stillness in a different shape.

the magnitude gate went with it since there's nothing left to gate; the
length floor stays as a truncated-frame guard. ts@7 and the waveform in
rawTail are untouched.

Walkthrough

v25 decoding now extracts only the Unix timestamp, preserves waveform bytes in rawTail, and returns empty accelerometer data with zero or absent derived fields. Tests validate the new output and payload framing.

Changes

v25 Decoding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Timestamp-only parser and validation
lib/src/records.dart, test/v25_test.dart
The v25 decoder no longer derives accelerometer data. It preserves the waveform in rawTail, returns empty accelG, and leaves derived sensor fields absent or zero. Tests validate timestamp parsing, empty acceleration, and raw payload framing.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 60676

The change correctly removes the refuted gravity value, but v25 still exposes an unsupported counter field that can mislead downstream telemetry. Merge should wait until that contract violation is removed or explicitly accepted.

257-290: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not emit counter for v25.

The v25 contract states that only tsEpoch is decoded. Line 290 still reads inner[3:7] and emits counter. Downstream telemetry exposes this value.

Set counter to the absence value used by this API, or document and validate counter as a verified v25 field. Add a v25 test for the selected contract.

inner[13:] waveform slice, rather than using endsWith; retain the non-empty
assertion and ensure leading waveform bytes cannot be silently omitted.
