the path for the phone to read health data on its own

SUMMARY

Built the plumbing for the phone to read health data straight from Android's own health store and send it to the dashboard — the piece that eventually removes the middleman between the watch and the app. Reading that store requires native code, so the app moved onto a custom development build that allows it. Added a translator that converts Android's format into the dashboard's own, with tests behind it; the permission to send data is now separate from the one used for notifications, so each is managed on its own; and there's a diagnostic screen that shows a sync happening step by step. Two design questions go through design review before any of this reaches a user-facing screen. Next up is manual: install the app and confirm the readings land.
