This is a conformance pass of the gen5 support against my own WHOOP 5.0
(serial 5AG…, firmware 50.40.1.0). Background: I've spent the last weeks
reverse engineering the band from four sides — the decompiled official
Android client, the strap firmware binary in a disassembler, live BLE
sniffing, and bulk decoding of my own band's records — and then checked this
package byte-by-byte against what all four agree on. Everything below is
verified on captures from real hardware; the record-field claims come from
replaying between 11k and 1.59M retained records per claim.

What changed, per commit:

  • record fields — v18's body 11..18 are the two signal-processing flag
    words, not a second heart rate (bit7 toggles independent of HR presence on
    1.59M records — relevant to Heart rate data has gaps and is not continuously transmitted on WHOOP 5.0 / MG edge#191); skin temp gets its −5000
    unavailable sentinel; the "0x8080 optical sentinel" was two i8 pSNR values
    both reading −128; body 60 is a packed state byte with the
    wake/still/sleep/up nibble. v26 turned out to be the copied PIP ring
    record — one absolute i32 optical sample plus 24 saturated deltas, with a
    tail byte-identical to the paired R18 on 52,743/52,743 records. The old
    subChannel/gain/flag reading decoded slices of those real fields
    (subChannel was byte 2 of the i32, which is why it read 0..7 with
    "outliers" at 0xFD..FF — those are negative samples). v20 descriptor
    offset currents are signed i16 in 10 nA steps.
  • control plane — the gen5 hello response is a fixed 104-byte revision-1
    map (identity, battery, charge, the strap's own timestamp, hw/fw/sigproc
    versions, wear + error bytes); the old decode read the CPU-signature field
    as a device name. Response reads are status-gated so failure replies can't
    mint values out of stale buffers. Battery-pack packet types 37/38/53–56
    route to named kinds; 53/54/55 are burst-count members.
  • command surface — gen5's clock is the shared SET_CLOCK(10)/GET_CLOCK(11)
    with the 8-byte two-u32 body (probe-verified on hardware; opcodes 146/147
    appear nowhere in the official enum and are now deprecated stubs). The
    negative history result is the official two-byte 00 00. The
    filtered-reading feature is driven by an OPERATION byte on 124
    (01 stop / 02 start / 03 restart) with raw-save on 125 — the old ECG
    builders were sending the official STOP for an "arm". Alarm bodies match
    on-wire captures (21-byte rev-4 set — the trailing alarm-type byte is
    transmitted — rev-2 run/disable, slot 1 on gen5).
  • events — decode for STRAP_CONDITION_REPORT(29) (live pages-behind
    telemetry), HAPTICS_TERMINATED(100) (expiry / error / wearer double-tap),
    BATTERY_PACK_INFO(109) and GENERIC_FIRMWARE_EVENT(123), plus the
    haptics/alarm status byte both alarm replies carry (a refused arm reports
    invalid alarm time/id here even under a SUCCESS outer result).
  • R22 — decoders for the six research-body tags, derived from 11,493
    captured records rather than from documentation: proven fields decode (the
    optical windows, the R18-mirror metadata block, tag 6's 25×i16 accel
    arrays at 4096 LSB/g), everything unproven stays a raw slice. Two negative
    results are recorded in the comments: the tag-6 tail does not match
    per-axis sign-transition counts, and a tag-5 body's tail is byte-identical
    to the previous packet (unwritten offsets hold stale bytes — a decoder
    that reads the shared block off a tag-5 record reports the previous
    packet's motion).
  • review pass — a final adversarial re-read against the docs before
    submitting: the R22 enable sequence no longer writes the raw-zero
    enable_r22_v4_packets key (no write value provably restores raw 0), the
    gen5 advertising-name reply (141) now actually decodes, and
    doc_conformance_test.dart pins every builder with a documented example
    body byte-for-byte — the canonical hello frame, the 21-byte alarm map,
    the two-byte failure result, the high-frequency window — so a drive-by
    edit can't silently change what goes on the wire.

Every field carries its evidence in the doc comment ("== paired R18
inner[33:37] on 11,333/11,333" style). Old names stay as deprecated views so
nothing downstream breaks (one exception, documented in its commit:
trustedHeartRateAlt is removed outright — both of its inputs are disproven,
so there was no honest value left for a compat shim to return).

dart analyze clean; 358 tests. The companion edge PR (linked once open)
carries the app-side wiring and the hardware field-test results.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added Gen5 v22 historical-record decoding, including research optical, PPG, acceleration, and unknown-tag data.
    • Added WHOOP 5 device information, battery-pack, strap-condition, haptics, and firmware event decoding.
    • Added Labrador filtered-reading and data-generation controls.
    • Added Gen5 clock, alarm, advertising-name, and configuration command support.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected historical optical, temperature, signal-quality, and signed sensor-value decoding.
    • Improved saturated waveform reconstruction and malformed-frame handling.
    • Corrected alarm status and history-failure response interpretation.

v18: the bytes at body 11..18 are the two signal-processing flag words, not
a second heart rate — bit7 toggles independent of HR presence on 1.59M
retained records, so nothing may gate on it. Skin temp gets its -5000
"unavailable" sentinel, inner[98..101] are two u8 PD means plus two i8 pSNR
values (the old big-endian u16 read turned "both detectors unavailable"
into a phantom 0x8080 sentinel), body 60 is a packed state byte with the
wake/still/sleep/up nibble, body 61 the SpO2 status byte, and body 92 the
band's own log-variance quality float.

v26 is the copied PIP ring record, not a channel-multiplexed waveform: a
u16 segment counter, one absolute i32 optical sample plus 24 saturated i16
deltas, and a tail that mirrors R18 — byte-identical to the paired R18 on
all 52,743 records sharing an index+timestamp. The old subChannel/gain/flag
fields were slices of those real fields (subChannel was byte 2 of the i32,
which is why it read 0..7 with "outliers" at 0xFD..0xFF — negative
samples). Reconstruction keeps the doc's lossiness honest: a -32768 delta
poisons everything after it, and out-of-range sums are proof of divergence.

v20: the descriptor's offset field is a signed i16 offset current in
10 nA steps, not an unsigned ADC offset; stream A/B are the two TIA
detector paths with dynamic photodiode routing.

Old names stay as deprecated views over the real fields.
The gen5 hello response is a fixed revision-1 map, 104 semantic bytes read
by absolute offset — battery, charge bit, the strap's own timestamp,
serial, commit and CPU/signature fields, hardware/PCBA/optical revisions,
firmware and sigproc versions, HR-broadcast, wear and error bytes. The old
decode read the CPU-signature field as a "device_name" and only got the
firmware version right by accident (it landed on the major byte).

Response reads are status-gated where a failure reply leaves the body
unpopulated: parsing stale buffer bytes was minting confident serials,
battery levels and clock epochs out of memory. The clock gate is keyed on
the profile rather than the opcode so it survives the switch to the shared
GET_CLOCK(11).

The battery-pack packet types (37/38/53/54/55/56) route to named kinds
instead of falling through to 'other'; 53/54/55 are burst-count members and
carry a retain flag so clients neither drop nor undercount them. Unparsed
event/console frames keep the same flag for the same reason.

The alarm read-back now surfaces the rev-4 active flag next to the epoch.

Also writes down the R-R evidence for the four u16 slots next to the HR
byte: across 760k declared slots the domain is exactly 333..2400 ms
(60000/180 to 60000/25), the values sit on 60000/HR, and no alternative
unit fits — they are inter-beat intervals, and the count byte is the
detector's confidence, not beats-per-second.
…dies

The gen5 clock is the shared SET_CLOCK(10)/GET_CLOCK(11) with the 8-byte
two-u32 body — the probe read the RTC back through 11 and got SUCCESS for
exactly this set form on a real strap, while 146/147 appear nowhere in the
official 75-opcode enum. Both stay only as deprecated stubs so nobody
"tests" a clock write against an invented opcode.

The negative history result is the official two-byte 00 00 payload; the
one-byte form left the strap parsing a truncated result.

The filtered-reading feature is driven by an OPERATION byte on 124
(01 stop / 02 start / 03 restart) with the raw save on 125 — the old ECG
builders sent the official STOP for an "arm" and used an opcode (0x7E)
that is absent from the vocabulary. New labrador builders carry the full
prepare/start/stop sequence, the no-rollback failure mode, and the
units-that-refuse path; the ECG names stay deprecated with their actual
bytes documented so existing callers see what they were really sending.

Alarm forms per the on-wire captures: rev-4 21-byte set (the trailing
alarm-type byte is transmitted, so the body must not be shortened to 20),
rev-2 run/disable with slot ids, gen5 firing from slot 1 because 0 is
rejected by run/disable.

High-frequency sync enforces the strap's own bounds (interval > 60 s,
duration < 28800 s) so an out-of-range window fails loudly instead of
silently never engaging.
Four event ids the band sends on its own now decode instead of falling
through as raw frames: STRAP_CONDITION_REPORT(29) carries live pages-behind
telemetry (the same trim-to-write page span GET_DATA_RANGE reports, plus
backlog and state-of-charge in tenths and flash/charging/wrist bytes),
HAPTICS_TERMINATED(100) distinguishes expiry, error and the wearer's
double-tap dismissal, BATTERY_PACK_INFO(109) gives the pack's address,
name and hardware family, and GENERIC_FIRMWARE_EVENT(123) wraps sub-ids
(6 = DORSET_DETECTED). Fields are length-gated individually so a short
body degrades to its prefix, and state-of-charge is only reported inside
0..100, matching the battery event's discipline.

SET_ALARM_TIME and RUN_ALARM replies both carry a haptics/alarm status at
response-body offset 1, in addition to the outer command result. It is
decoded for every outer result on purpose: the failure reply is where
invalid-alarm-time (10) and invalid-alarm-id (11) actually show up — the
known slot-0 "arm info is invalid, error 0xb" is exactly code 11 arriving
through this byte. AlarmStatus names the twelve codes and separates the
input-rejection family (2/3/4/10/11) from run-time outcomes like
haptics_busy, which must never be read as "not armed".
11,493 R22 records across eleven captures, every one 176 bytes inner and
every one with an exact index+timestamp partner in R18. Tag histogram
1:194 2:9741 3:120 4:1398 5:20 6:20 — the writer fallbacks are visible on
the wire: captures configured for variant 3 emitted only tag-2 bodies, and
variant-5 captures emitted 1,398 tag-4 against 20 tag-5, so the emitted
tag is what counts, not the configured one.

What decodes is what the corpus proves. Tags 1/2/4 carry an optical window
(i32 first sample + 49 saturated deltas) and a metadata block whose accel
f32, channel-state word and flag bytes are byte-identical to the paired
R18 on 11,333/11,333 records; tag 3 carries two windows with the block
shifted exactly +2 (120/120); tag 5 embeds a PIP ring record from 39
seconds earlier whose fields match the R18 of the RING second, not the
carrier's (20/20); tag 6 is 25x i16 accel per axis at 4096 LSB/g (mean
vector 1.0406 g over 500 triples). Everything else stays a raw slice.

Two things the data settled the hard way: the tail bytes of a tag-6 body
do not match per-axis sign-transition counts under any tested reading, so
they stay raw rather than getting a name; and a tag-5 body's tail is
byte-identical to the PREVIOUS packet on 20/20 records — unwritten offsets
really do hold stale bytes, so a decoder that reads the shared metadata
block off a tag-5 record reports the previous packet's motion as this
record's. The per-tag decode boundaries here exist to make that mistake
impossible.

Reconstruction inherits the saturated-delta caveats: first -32768 lands at
index 24 on every tag-1 window, and 2 of 487,050 reconstructed tag-2
samples come out physically impossible, so windows are range-checked, not
trusted.
An adversarial re-read of the whole branch against the reference docs
before submitting. The wire bytes all held; what it caught:

- the R22 enable sequence still wrote enable_r22_v4_packets, whose
  observed value is raw 0 — the one kind of key the config rules say to
  never overwrite, because no write value provably restores it. The
  selector falls through v4 to v3/v2, so the deep buffers enable without
  it; the key moves to the previously-written list instead.
- gen5's advertising-name reply (141) was sent by the bootstrap but never
  decoded — the strap_name branch only knew gen4's 0x4C. Same reply shape
  at the same offsets, so both opcodes share the branch now.
- trustedHeartRateAlt is removed rather than deprecated-to-null: both of
  its inputs are disproven, so there was no honest value left for a
  compat shim to return, and a getter that silently changes to null is
  worse than a compile error. Every other deprecated member keeps its
  exact old bytes.
- a stale comment still described ASCII '0' as "restore the firmware
  default"; a read of 0 is a raw/unset record and '0' is not an official
  write value, which is the whole basis of the raw-zero rule above.
- the step/cadence/activity-class fields carry the reference clients'
  names; the docs decline those labels for body 36/38/42, so all three
  now say so, not just one.

New doc_conformance_test.dart pins every builder that has a documented
example body byte-for-byte — the canonical hello frame, the 21-byte
alarm map including its trailing type byte, the two-byte failure result,
the high-frequency window, the clock forms, the toggle asymmetry, the
labrador operations — so a drive-by edit to a builder cannot silently
change what goes on the wire.

Upstream's gen5 bounds fix and this branch both rewrote the v18 decode.
Kept from main: an implausible HR or accel costs only that field (hr
falls back to the 0 absent-sentinel, accel goes null / gravity empty)
instead of archiving the whole second, and the gen4 0.5-1.8 g gravity
window no longer rejects gen5 workout seconds — only a ±16 g full-scale
sanity check remains. Kept from this branch: the capture-derived field
map (PD means and pSNR bytes at body 85-88, the packed state byte, the
sentinel-aware skin temp) and the evidence-backed description of the
accel f32 — it is the max adjacent magnitude delta, byte-identical to
the copy R26 carries, not a gravity-removed magnitude.

Add a decode test for the gen5 GET_CUSTOM_ADVERTISING_NAME (0x8D) reply.

This branch makes 0x8D reachable for the first time. The comment states 0x8D shares gen4's 0x4C reply offsets, and _decodeAdvName reads the length at payload[4] and the name from payload[5]. No test in this cohort exercises the 0x8D path, so a future offset change to _decodeAdvName would break the gen5 bootstrap read without failing the suite. Add a case that builds an 0x8D reply and asserts the decoded name.

Place the ...e.decoded spread before the frame-level keys.

In the event map literal the spread is last, so any key in e.decoded overwrites event, event_id, ts_epoch, and retain_raw. No current event decoder emits those names, so there is no defect today. retain_raw is the flag a client uses to decide whether to keep a burst-count member, so a future per-event key of the same name would silently cause dropped history records. Put the spread first to make the frame-level keys authoritative.

The console_log map at Lines 1287-1292 has no spread and is unaffected.

Add coverage for the new alarm_active key.

This group covers the new alarm_status branch well: success and failure outer results, an unrecognised revision, run-time versus input-rejection codes, an undocumented code, and short bodies.

lib/src/control.dart Line 835 also adds alarm_active to the GET_ALARM_TIME revision-4 branch, using exactly-1 semantics. No test in this cohort exercises it. alarm_active answers "is the alarm armed", so a regression there is user-visible. Add a case that builds a revision-4 GET_ALARM_TIME reply and asserts alarm_active is true for byte 1, and false for 0 and for any other value.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the exact 21-byte length that the test title claims.

Line 53 uses expect(body.length >= 21, isTrue). The title says the body is "EXACTLY 21 bytes", and the doc note at Lines 398-400 of lib/src/commands.dart describes the serializer trap as "the body must be 21 bytes, never 20". A >= assertion also passes a 24-byte body, so it does not pin the trap this file exists to pin.

For gen5 the inner is 3 header bytes plus a 21-byte body, which is already 4-byte aligned, so no padding is appended and an exact check passes. test/gen5_command_surface_test.dart Line 208 already asserts exactly 21 for the same builder.

💚 Proposed fix
     final body = f.inner.sublist(3);
     // 04 01 | epoch u32le | subsec u16le | 2f 98 00*6 | 00 00 | 07 | 1e | 00

Fold the duplicated v8 assertion into one test.

The test at Lines 118-121 asserts kGen5R22EnableFlags does not contain enable_r22_v8_packets. The test at Lines 184-189 asserts the same thing and additionally asserts the flag is listed in kGen5R22PreviouslyWrittenFlags. The second test fully subsumes the first, so the group runs the same check twice under two names.

Keep the v4 test at Lines 123-131, which pairs the absence check with the previously-written check and has no duplicate.

Tag 4 is the second most frequent tag in the cited corpus (1,398 records) and is the only other tag that populates extendedMetricsRaw. The decoder handles it through the shared case 1: case 2: case 4: branch with an if (tag != 1) gate, so a regression that changed that gate to tag == 2 would pass every current test. Add a synthetic tag-4 body that asserts one window, the metadata block at base 117, and an 11-byte extendedMetricsRaw.

💚 Proposed test
test('tag 4 shares the tag-1/2 layout and writes the extension region', () {
  final inner = poisonBody(4);
  writeWindow(inner, start: 15, firstSample: 300, deltas: List.filled(49, 0));
  writeMetaBlock(
    inner,
    base: 117,
    flagsSnapshot: 0x10,
    accelDeltaG: 0.5,
    f1: 0,
    f2: 0,
    f3: 0,
    stateWord: 1872,
    primaryFlags: 1,
  );
  final r = parseGen5Historical(inner) as Gen5ResearchRecord;
  expect(r.opticalWindows.single.deltas, hasLength(49));
  expect(r.accelDeltaG, 0.5);
  expect(r.channelStateWord, 1872);
  expect(r.flagsSnapshotByte, 0x10);
  expect(r.extendedMetricsRaw, hasLength(11));
  expect(r.pipRecordUnix, isNull);
  expect(r.accelRawX, isEmpty);
});

this is real work — i checked the v26 relayout against my own captures and it holds up hard. but three things have to change before it can go in.

1. the comments and test names that say how this was worked out. there's a lot of it, plus a real band serial hardcoded in control.dart and repeated through gen5_historical_test.dart, and some captured epochs in the fixtures. the pr body is the worst of it. i purged docs/internal/ and test/goldens/ out of history in august for exactly this — dated readings and provenance in a public repo. state the fact, never the method: "body 15 is a signal-processing flag word" says everything useful. force-pushed shas stick around and github won't delete a pr, so this has to happen before merge, not after. pr body too.

2. inner[29] is a heart rate. i ran it over 1,035 real v18 records off an mg: inner[29] == inner[14] on 1,016 of them, 98.2%. 3/3 on my whoop 5. it spans 0-183 across 117 distinct values. the 19 that disagree are near misses of a few bpm — (71,79), (65,66), (67,70) — plus two where one side is 0 and hr is 95/96, so one estimator abstaining. that's two hr estimates with different smoothing, not a flags byte. a byte holding eight signal-processing flags can't equal the hr byte 98% of the time.

that claim is the whole basis for deleting trustedHeartRateAlt, so the removal has to come out too. keep heartRateAlt raw and unclaimed. worth re-running that comparison on your 1.59m corpus, because your number and mine are 40 points apart — something in one of the joins is selecting a different population, and i'd like to know which.

3. +32767 is a rail too. only -32768 is treated as saturation. over 619,296 real v26 deltas: 80 hits at exactly +32767, zero at +32766, next nearest 32,095. that's a clamp. of the 42 records containing it, 20 get flagged by accident because they also hold -32768, and 22 come back hasSaturatedDelta == false, divergenceProven == false, trustedSampleCount == 25 — a fabricated ramp handed over as trusted. one line: if (deltas[i] == -32768 || deltas[i] == 32767). isClippedFlat needs the same.

smaller, all fixable:

  • buildHistoryResultFail changes the gen4 body on gen5-scoped evidence, and your own comment says so. gate it on profile.isGen5 and leave gen4 alone until there's a gen4 capture. nothing calls it in edge today, which is the only reason this isn't urgent.
  • Gen5HelloInfo.tsSeconds is the only clock read in control.dart with no _plausibleUnix gate, and it's the primary gen5 clock source. the band ships rtc-unset, so it'll report 1970 as fact while the fallback path refuses to. add the gate + a nullable accessor.
  • the v20 "blocks 1/2 read empty" line isn't true — over 40k real v20 records, blocks 1 and 2 carry activeSampleCount == 25 on 215 records each. pre-existing comment, but this pr builds on it.
  • parseEvent takes no BandProfile, so the new event 29 / 100 / 109 / 123 decoding runs on gen4 frames too. 29 is the one i care about — gen4's 26/27/28 are known and 29 wasn't, so if gen4's 29 is something else, condition_soc_pct becomes a confident wrong number. worth gating.
  • dropping enable_r22_v4_packets/v8 from the enable sequence: the bands that produced my captures got deep buffers with the old set. make it a documented opt-out rather than a silent change to a sequence that demonstrably works.
  • deprecating 146/147 conflicts with notes i have recording 0x93 as a clock opcode, and edge calls cmdSetClockGen5/cmdGetClockGen5 today. deprecating rather than removing is the right call, but let's resolve it before edge repins.
  • coderabbit's two worth taking: put ...e.decoded before the frame-level keys so a decoder can't clobber event_id/ts_epoch, and make doc_conformance_test assert == 21 not >= 21 — the whole point is that there's no 22nd byte.

the v22 decoder i'm undecided on. ~1,150 lines and i have zero v22 records to check any of it against — both my captures already had the r22 enable run and still show none. it's internally consistent and unknown tags fall through to raw, so it can't fabricate. but that's a big surface to adopt on one person's captures. can you share the v22 fixtures?

things i confirmed on real data, so you know what's solid: the 20-bit i32 at inner[15:19] (25,804/25,804 in range), the sign byte only ever 0x00/0xff, deltas-not-samples (25,803/25,804 cumulative sums stay in range), segmentId's q15 packing exact on all 25,804 with exactly 100 distinct values, 0x8080 really being two sentinels that move together (zero records with only one unavailable, both dbs), and the v20 offset current taking exactly four values over ~400k reads. the statusword bit 4-7 agc split also cross-validates against v20's descriptor currents — same 4-symbol alphabet, modal pair 59.0% vs 61.7%. that's better evidence than what you cited for it.
