…ing form On a real WHOOP 4.0 the 20-byte 0x04 rich body is stored, echoed by GET_ALARM_TIME and confirmed with STRAP_DRIVEN_ALARM_SET (56) exactly like a live arm, but the scheduler never executes it: months of sync logs with 8+ armed alarms show zero STRAP_DRIVEN_ALARM_EXECUTED (57) and no haptics at any target. The official app arms with a rev-1 9-byte body — [0x01][epoch u32 LE][subsec u16][haptic-mode u16=0] — and an A/B on the same band proved it: armed rev-1, the band fired autonomously at the armed second (events 60 + 57 + auto-disable 59, ~24 s buzz, HAPTICS_TERMINATED 100 at +24 s). The trailing haptic-mode u16 is the whole difference from the known-silent 7-byte short form. Add cmdSetAlarmRev1 with the official-app wire capture pinned in the tests, and correct the docs that recommended cmdSetAlarm as the firing form: on gen4 a GET_ALARM readback match or an event 56 only proves a body was stored, never that it will fire. gen5 keeps the rich 21-byte body as its only known arm form, still unverified for actually waking. Closes OpenStrap#32.

Reject the REV-1 body for gen5.
cmdSetAlarmRev1 accepts BandProfile.gen5 and builds a gen5 frame with this body. The documentation states that this body is untested on gen5. This also conflicts with the stated requirement that gen5 remains unchanged.
Reject a gen5 profile before calling buildCommand. Add a test that cmdSetAlarmRev1(..., profile: BandProfile.gen5) throws.

- {int hapticMode = 0, BandProfile profile = BandProfile.gen4}) =>

Validate the timestamp before truncation.
The serializer keeps only the low 32 bits of sec. A date before January 1, 1970 or after February 7, 2106 serializes as a different alarm time. A timestamp from one millisecond before the epoch also produces a nonzero sub-second value because the quotient and remainder use different signed-value behavior.
Validate when.millisecondsSinceEpoch before deriving sec and subsec. Put the guard in the shared alarm timestamp conversion path so all alarm builders use the same u32 contract.

Compare the complete captured frame.
_body removes the frame header, sequence, opcode, padding, and CRC. This test therefore pins only the nine-byte payload. A regression in buildCommand, the opcode, or the gen4 framing can still pass.
Compare cmdSetAlarmRev1 directly with the complete btsnoop byte vector. Keep the body assertion if it improves layout diagnostics.

thanks for chasing this, and the doc corrections in here are right. but i can't take the behaviour change — the mechanism it rests on isn't there, and my own band contradicts the premise. the two forms are byte-identical on the wire. same frame. the radio can't tell them apart, so "those two bytes are the whole difference" can't be why one fires and the other doesn't. both repos would ship a self-contradiction after this — which cuts the other way too: if your a/b result is real, it also shows the short form fires. the "acks but never buzzes" line has been in both repos unsupported for a while and should just be deleted, not re-explained. and the rich form does fire on my 4.0. from my own export, 2026-08-11: event 56 so the honest claim is "rich doesn't fire on that band", not "gen4 never executes it". my guess at the real discriminator is firmware version — neither the pr nor #32 mentions it. can you post one thing i want fixed regardless of who's right about the form. this makes 57/59/60 real for the first time, and if the rich form turns out not to fire for you, the minimal change is pointing smaller:
provenance: there are comments and test names across both prs that say how the bytes were obtained, two of which also name the upstream project, and #32 publishes a band serial. can you strip those to just the vector — "epoch 1781912880 → what's right and i want kept: deleting "the rich form is THE form that actually fires" as an unqualified claim, "a GET_ALARM readback proves only that a body was STORED", "56 proves latch, not execution", and removing the fabricated |

Implements the three changes proposed in #32.
What
cmdSetAlarmRev1— the 9-byte SET_ALARM_TIME body the official appsends and the only form observed to actually execute on a real WHOOP 4.0:
[0x01][epoch u32 LE][subsec u16 LE][haptic-mode u16 LE], haptic-modedefaulting to 0 (the stock ~24 s wake buzz). Exported from the package
library, together with the bare payload as
alarmRev1Payloadso applayers that run their own sequencer/framing (edge does) can source the
layout from here instead of duplicating it — the edge PR consumes exactly
that symbol.
commands.dart: the section narrative andcmdSetAlarm's doc no longer recommend the rich 0x04 body as "the formthat actually fires" — on gen4 it is stored, echoed by GET_ALARM_TIME and
confirmed with event 56 exactly like a live arm, but never executed. The
docs now also spell out the two traps that hid this: a readback match only
proves a body was stored, and event 56 fires for bodies that never will.
cmdSetAlarmSimple's failure is re-explained (it is rev-1 minus thehaptic-mode u16, not "missing waveform").
(epoch 1781912880 →
01 30 D5 35 6A 00 00 00 00), sub-second encoding,and the haptic-mode u16 guard. Existing rich-form byte pins are untouched;
two test titles/comments that asserted the rich form fires are corrected.
its only known arm form, still flagged hardware-unverified for waking.
How it was verified
Full evidence in #32. Short version, all on a real 4.0: months of sync logs
with 8+ rich-form arms show zero STRAP_DRIVEN_ALARM_EXECUTED (57); an A/B
over BLE on the same band showed rev-1 firing autonomously at the armed
second (events 60 + 57 + auto-disable 59), and a real wake alarm reproduced
it the next morning (HAPTICS_TERMINATED 100 stamped at target +24 s).
dart analyzeclean;dart test285 passing (4 skips = the usualwhoop_hist.jsonlreplays). No decoder changes, so the parity oracle isuntouched.
The corresponding app-side change (edge arming gen4 with rev-1, fixing
OpenStrap/edge#119) is a separate PR on edge.
