logs gatt table + subscribe results, rev3 hello body/fw, and what comes in after send_historical when the band never starts. logging only, no sync change.

Summary by Sourcery

Improve gen5 history-stall diagnostics by logging GATT capabilities, subscription state, HELLO metadata, and inbound traffic after unanswered historical-data requests.

Enhancements:

  • Add diagnostic logging for discovered GATT services, notification subscriptions, inbound traffic, and revision-3 gen5 HELLO details.
  • Capture and report inbound data observed after stalled historical-data requests without changing synchronization behavior.

Tests:

  • Add coverage for revision-3 HELLO firmware extraction and bounded notification diagnostics.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Bluetooth connection diagnostics now provide more detail about device firmware, available services, and incoming data during startup.
    • Notification activity and decoded message types are tracked during diagnostic captures, with limits to keep the captured output manageable.

Reviewer's Guide

Introduces logging-only diagnostics for gen5 connection discovery, subscriptions, HELLO payloads, and inbound traffic around stalled historical-sync requests, with bounded per-session capture and focused unit tests; synchronization behavior remains unchanged.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Adds connection-level GATT and notification diagnostics without changing synchronization behavior.
  • Logs the discovered GATT service/characteristic table, deduplicating unchanged tables across reconnects.
  • Logs notification subscriptions and tracks inbound chunks, bytes, decoded frames, and rejects per session.
  • Captures a capped notification window after SEND_HISTORICAL_DATA to diagnose bands that never emit HISTORY_START, then logs totals and CRC/revision rejection counters.
lib/ble/ble_engine.dart
lib/ble/ble_state.dart
Expands gen5 HELLO diagnostics to expose revision-3 firmware information and raw payload data.
  • Extracts firmware bytes 96–99 from sufficiently long revision-3 HELLO bodies for logging only.
  • Logs the HELLO revision, derived firmware version, and raw body while preserving existing publication behavior.
lib/ble/ble_engine.dart
lib/ble/ble_state.dart
Adds unit coverage for diagnostic parsing and bounded notification capture behavior.
  • Verifies revision-3 firmware decoding and short-body handling.
  • Verifies window-only capture, frame aggregation, chunk limits, dropped-count reporting, and lifetime totals.

Walkthrough

The BLE engine now records GATT service and characteristic details, tracks notification chunks and decoded-frame classifications per session, and logs additional Gen5 HELLO and first-START timeout diagnostics.

Changes: BLE Session Diagnostics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Diagnostic tracking data
lib/ble/ble_state.dart, lib/ble/ble_engine.dart
NotifyDiag tracks per-role notification counts and bytes, and captures a bounded window of chunk prefixes and frame classifications. A helper extracts revision-3 firmware from sufficiently long Gen5 HELLO bodies.
GATT and BLE traffic instrumentation
lib/ble/ble_engine.dart
The BLE engine logs GATT tables when they change, subscription status, notification and frame classifications, and Gen5 HELLO revision and body details.
First-START capture and timeout reporting
lib/ble/ble_engine.dart
The first-START watchdog opens and closes the diagnostic capture window. On timeout, it logs notification totals and CRC and revision-rejection counts.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to 7ebaf

The added stall logs can omit early inbound traffic and attribute older revision rejects to the current connection. These are bounded diagnostic issues, so merging is reasonable with owner awareness or follow-up corrections.

Open the capture window when SEND_HISTORICAL_DATA is sent, not after its write resolves.

The [DIAG] inbound since SEND_HISTORICAL_DATA line omits inbound notifications that arrive while the write is pending. Those notifications are counted only in the session totals. Open the window in _historyRequestGate, at the point where the request is marked as sent. Alternatively, relabel the line as traffic after the write completed.

Label the revision-reject count as engine-lifetime in the first-START DIAG line.

_frameRevRejectsTotal is never reset, so the first-START DIAG line can report rejects from an earlier connection. The same line places this value beside a since-SEND window and a per-session CRC count. A stall log then reads as if all three values cover the same scope. Label the revision count as lifetime so the log does not point diagnosis at the current link.

Suggested fix
     _log('[DIAG] inbound since SEND_HISTORICAL_DATA: '
         '${session.rx.closeWindow()} | session rx ${session.rx.totals()} '
-        'crc=$_crcFailuresThisSession revRejects=$_frameRevRejectsTotal');
+        'crc=$_crcFailuresThisSession revRejectsLifetime=$_frameRevRejectsTotal');
