Stacked on #48. Output must be bit-identical — there is no kAlgoVersion bump in this PR, and if one becomes necessary the change is wrong.

An optimizer pass went through the tree arguing for deletion; every claim it made was then handed to a separate agent that did not know who made it and was told to assume it was wrong. These three survived that. One claim elsewhere was refuted outright — structurally accurate, but its proposal was slower than the code it replaced.

the safety argument

The real-night gate asserts wide bands (wakeMin < 35, remMin > 100) and would not have noticed a small move, so the numbers were pinned directly instead:

epochs=1068  wake=52  rem=300  nrem=716  deep=137  light=579  conf=0.5501404494382023

Identical after all three commits, confidence to the last digit.

what changed

_windowRmssd and _windowRemFeatures each hand-copied _cleanBeatsInWindow, which is the function whose own docstring promises the invariant they were breaking. Folded back in; _cleanBeatsInWindow takes halfWinMs now. REM keeps its own 90 s window and the docstring says why, so nobody "simplifies" that later — handing it the ±150 s list re-spaces the Lomb–Scargle grid, defeats the beats.length < 16 abstain gate, and re-opens a previously fixed ANR. The stale rationale in that docstring is corrected too: rmssd is not z-scored any more.

The rolling HR baseline sorted the same 361-epoch window twice, about 25 lines below a comment congratulating itself on not doing that. percentileSorted split out of percentile, window sorted in place once, duplicated median(sleepHr) hoisted. percentileSorted keeps the nullable contract — there are two _percentileSorted copies in this repo that return 0 on empty and they stay where they are; a 0-on-empty percentile beside a null-on-empty one is how a 0.0 bpm floor gets recorded as a measured baseline.

Two window scans are binary searches now. True lower bound, per call, no cursor threaded through the epoch loop — centreMs comes from accel, not rrTsMs, so a cross-epoch cursor would assume monotonicity nothing promises.

The tie trap is pinned by a test, not a comment. rr_ts_ms is rec_ts * 1000, so beat timestamps tie. Writing the search the natural way — first index strictly greater — fails the new test 7 → 4 and moves the real night: deep 137 → 132, light 579 → 584. That mutation is now caught.

measured

cardioStager on the full real night: ~950 ms → ~805 ms, about 15% (medians of 6 and 5 runs). The original claim implied ~200x; Lomb–Scargle's trig dominates and is untouched. The commit messages carry the measured figure, not the claimed one.

580 tests, analyze clean.

deliberately not done

Deduping the two _percentileSorted copies. Hoisting the gather out of _windowRmssd/_windowSdnn to the epoch loop — it would halve that work again but changes two signatures. A runtime sorted-ness guard on rrTsMs, which would cost what the search saves; the requirement is documented instead.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved sleep cardio analysis by correctly handling ascending RR timestamps and rolling-window boundaries.
    • Ensured heart-rate and recovery metrics use consistent, efficient window calculations.
    • Preserved accurate percentile behavior, including empty data windows.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for RR values on and outside window boundaries.
    • Added percentile calculation coverage for sorted, single-value, and empty inputs.

_windowRmssd and _windowRemFeatures each hand-copied _cleanBeatsInWindow,
which is exactly what that function's docstring says can't happen. folded
both back into it; the rem one passes halfWinMs: 90s because its window is
deliberately different (spanSec, the 240-point ls grid and the <16 abstain
gate are all specified against ±90s, not ±2.5min) — noted that in the doc so
nobody "simplifies" it later.

also fixed the docstring rationale: it claimed the beats had to match so the
z-scores stayed comparable, but rmssd isn't z-scored any more.

real-night gate unchanged: wake=52 rem=300 nrem=716 deep=137, same
confidence to the last digit.
the rolling hr baseline took median(win) and percentile(win, 25) of the same
361-epoch window, and each of those sorted a fresh copy — 25 lines above the
comment bragging about saving sorts. sort win in place once (it's built right
there) and take both off it. also hoisted the median(sleepHr) that ran twice
in the night-observation record.

percentileSorted keeps the double? / null-on-empty contract. the two private
_percentileSorted copies in advanced_stager and load_trimp return 0 on empty
— not promoting that, a 0.0 bpm hr floor recorded as a measurement is a bug
we've already had. deduping those two is a separate job.

real-night gate unchanged: wake=52 rem=300 nrem=716 deep=137.
the per-epoch window gather walked all ~40k beats of the night to find the
few hundred inside ±2.5 min, once per epoch per feature. lower-bound in,
break at the far edge.

the bound has to be a TRUE lower bound. rr_ts_ms is rec_ts * 1000 so beats
tie on the second boundary, and "first index strictly greater than lo" drops
the tied beats sitting on the edge — i tried it: deep goes 137 -> 132 epochs
on the real night, silently. test pins ties at both edges and fails on that
exact mutation.

no cursor threaded through the epoch loop on purpose — centreMs comes from
accel, not rrTsMs, so a cross-epoch cursor would assume an ordering the
caller was never asked for.

cardioStager on the real night: ~950ms -> ~805ms, so about 15%. not more —
lomb-scargle's trig is the rest of it and this doesn't touch it.

counts unchanged: wake=52 rem=300 nrem=716 deep=137.

Walkthrough

Cardio staging now requires ascending RR timestamps, centralizes RR-window cleaning, and reuses cleaned beats across RMSSD, SDNN, and REM features. Sorted percentile support avoids repeated sorting. Heart-rate baseline values reuse computed medians.

Changes

Cardio staging updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sorted percentile support
lib/src/onehz/util.dart, test/onehz/util_test.dart
Adds percentileSorted for ascending input. Updates percentile to sort a copy and delegate. Adds percentile regression tests.
RR-window cleaning and feature inputs
lib/src/onehz/sleep/cardio_stager.dart, test/onehz/real_night_cardio_stager_test.dart
Adds shared RR-window cleaning with lower-bound indexing, configurable windows, physiologic filtering, inclusive boundaries, and rebased timestamps. RMSSD, SDNN, and REM features consume the structured result.
Heart-rate baseline reuse
lib/src/onehz/sleep/cardio_stager.dart
Sorts each local heart-rate window once and reuses the sleep-HR median for profile values and arousal baseline values.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to eb7c5

The performance change now relies on sorted RR timestamps; with unsorted input, valid beats may be omitted and heart-rate metrics or sleep-stage classification may change. Merge should wait for support for unsorted timestamps or explicit owner acceptance of this bounded correctness risk.

@coderabbitai review

merged main in — targets main directly now, suite green.

this one is meant to be bit-identical on output. the safety argument is that the real-night stager numbers do not move: epochs=1068 wake=52 rem=300 nrem=716 deep=137 light=579 conf=0.5501404494382023, unchanged across all three commits.

the place to look hardest is the binary search in _cleanBeatsInWindow. rr_ts_ms is rec_ts * 1000, so beat timestamps tie — it has to be a true lower bound. writing it the natural way (first index strictly greater) drops edge beats and moves deep 137 to 132, light 579 to 584. there is a test pinning ties at both window edges, but check the bound itself.

also: percentileSorted keeps the nullable contract deliberately. there are two other copies in this repo that return 0 on empty and they were left alone — a 0-on-empty percentile next to a null-on-empty one is how a 0.0 bpm floor gets recorded as a measured baseline.

@abdulsaheel I found one output-invariance defect.

lib/src/onehz/sleep/cardio_stager.dart Line 680 sorts win before it calls stddev(win). The old code passed stddev the epoch-order list.

stddev uses ordered floating-point summation in both mean and its variance loop. Sorting changes that order. It can change hrArousalLocal, and then change a stage decision near the wake threshold. This is not bit-identical, even when the supplied real-night totals remain unchanged.

Compute the standard deviation before the in-place sort. Then use the sorted list only for percentileSorted.

final sd = stddev(win);
win.sort();
final m = percentileSorted(win, 50);
if (m != null) {
  hrMedLocal[e] = m;
  hrArousalLocal[e] = m + math.max(6.0, sd ?? 6);
  hrP25Local[e] = percentileSorted(win, 25) ?? m;
}

The _cleanBeatsInWindow bound is correct. rrTsMs[m] < lo finds the first timestamp where ts >= lo. The loop also keeps ts == hi. The edge-tie test covers both requirements.

percentileSorted also preserves the required nullable empty-input contract.

You are interacting with an AI system.

'stddev doesn't care about order' is true in algebra and false in float — it
sums (x-m)^2 in list order and mean does too. sorting the window first moved
the last bits of hrArousalLocal, which decides wake epochs near the threshold.
the real night didn't move, but bit-identical was the contract.

@coderabbitai good catch, and it is exactly the thing this pr was supposed to be careful about. fixed in eb7c568stddev is computed before the sort now.

the comment i had written said "stddev doesn't care about order", which is true in algebra and false in float: it sums (x-m)^2 in list order and mean sums in list order too, so re-ordering the window moves the last bits of both. and it feeds hrArousalLocal, which decides wake epochs near the threshold.

the real night did not move either way — same 1068/52/300/716/137/579 and the same confidence to the last digit — but "did not move on this night" is not the same as bit-identical, and bit-identical was the contract.

@abdulsaheel Correct. Computing stddev(win) before win.sort() preserves the original floating-point accumulation order.

The real-night result is useful regression coverage. It does not by itself prove bit-identical behavior. The corrected evaluation order satisfies the stated output-invariance contract.

🐇 ✅

Learning: In `lib/src/onehz/sleep/cardio_stager.dart`, preserve the original list order when calling `stddev(win)`. The `mean` and variance calculations use ordered floating-point summation, so sorting the rolling heart-rate window first can change `hrArousalLocal` and stage decisions. Compute `stddev(win)` before sorting the window for `percentileSorted`.

the producer already guarantees it — beats inherit their record's second, the
records are sorted, and the loose-live-beat path re-sorts explicitly. an assert
costs nothing in release and goes off in every test if that stops being true.
