Pairing 1/6: stop saving a band as a heart-rate sensor - #691
A WHOOP advertising the standard heart-rate service can be saved as a plain workout sensor, leaving the wearer without their band data. Recognize band evidence during scan and GATT discovery, and refuse that save unless a confirmation is tied to the same device ID and band entry.
This is the correctness fix Abdul requested first in #669. Includes registry roles, ranked identity evidence, a structured pairing result, and the small changes existing screens need to show a refusal. It does not add the new device-choice flow or comparison table.
The intentional band-as-sensor confirmation UI is introduced in section 4; this section adds the safe seam and refusal to existing screens.
A WHOOP deliberately retained as a workout sensor is saved at wristOptical; a true chest strap retains beatToBeat. Tests inspect the persistence decision. Name-only WHOOP evidence does not establish a generation.
Validation: local localization generation and full flutter analyze --no-pub pass. Focused test files pass: band_identity_test, pairing_device_role_test, hrs_link_test, device_sources_test, pair_sensor_test, paired_device_test and ui2_tokens_test. Physical iPhone testing remains outstanding. CodeRabbit reviewed head 415ff7d0 with no actionable issue; all eight review threads are resolved. Upstream Actions require maintainer approval before jobs run.
Review follow-up: OS system-device results use the scan evidence ledger; cached names can be disproved by real advertisements; service/data evidence outranks names; evidence is checked after discovery and again before persistence. Device roles are required at compile time. Direct device upserts now roll back their insert if the update fails. The generic HRS entry uses a neutral kind because HRS does not prove body placement.
Upstream review order: 1 ready → 2 draft → 3 draft → 4 draft → 5 draft → 6 draft. All target upstream main; draft diffs include preceding dependencies. Use the individual section link above to review this section alone.

Summary by Sourcery
Prevent bands from being saved as plain heart-rate sensors by validating ranked identity evidence throughout discovery and pairing, while preserving an explicit path for confirmed sensor use.
New Features:
Add band and sensor roles, physical device kinds, and main-device eligibility to the BLE registry.
Recognize band identity from advertisements and discovered GATT services, including ranked evidence and device-bound pairing confirmations.
Return structured pairing outcomes so existing sensor screens can refuse attempts to save bands as plain sensors.
Bug Fixes:
Prevent devices advertising the standard heart-rate service from being persisted as plain sensors when band evidence identifies them as bands.
Preserve band evidence across scan updates and recheck it before persistence, while allowing explicitly confirmed band-as-sensor pairings.
Store deliberately retained bands with the wrist-optical source tier while preserving beat-to-beat classification for genuine chest straps.
Make device upserts transactional so failed updates do not leave partially inserted rows.
Enhancements:
Separate device identity evidence from pairing and persistence decisions through a reusable pairing I/O seam.
Centralize UUID normalization and registry matching for scan, system-device, and GATT discovery paths.
Tests:
Add coverage for band identity matching, evidence precedence and invalidation, pairing refusals, confirmations, persistence tiers, registry roles, and transactional rollback.
Chores:
Update existing pairing screens and localized messages to display band-specific refusal outcomes.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Device discovery uses advertised information to identify supported bands and sensors.
Pairing distinguishes bands from standalone sensors and may request confirmation when a band is selected as a sensor.
Bug Fixes
Devices identified as bands are not saved as sensors, and a message explains the mismatch.
Failed device updates no longer leave partially saved changes.
Localization
Pairing-mismatch messages are available in English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Russian, Thai, and Chinese.
Add required registry roles and physical kinds, annotate each device entry, and centralize hinted-name matching so identity checks can distinguish bands from sensors.

Walkthrough
The registry now classifies devices by role and kind. Scanning carries band identity evidence into pairing, where discovered identity and explicit confirmation affect validation and persistence. Pairing screens display localized feedback when a selected sensor is identified as a band.

Summary
Device classifications and scan hints lib/ble/adapters/_registry.dart
Registry entries gain device roles and kinds. Main-device eligibility is limited to framed band entries configured as eligible. Name matching can also require an advertised scan hint.
Band identity and pairing contracts lib/ble/band_identity.dart
Adds GATT UUID normalization and band identification from service UUIDs, service-data UUIDs, and names. Adds pairing confirmation, outcome, persistence, and I/O contracts.
Scanning accumulates band identity evidence by remote ID and includes separate band evidence on candidates when the selected entry differs or the model is uncertain.
Pairing checks and outcome feedback lib/ble/hrs_link.dart, lib/data/db.dart, lib/ui2/pairing/*, lib/ui2/profile/pair_sensor.dart, lib/l10n/app_{de,en,es,fr,hi,ru,th,zh}.arb
Pairing checks discovered identity and requires matching confirmation when a different band is identified. It validates the device before persistence and formats band-specific outcomes in the pairing UI. Localizations add the band rejection message. Device upserts without an executor run in a transaction.

Explanation
The title "Pairing 1/6: stop saving a band as a heart-rate sensor" matches the main change. The diff adds band identity evidence and a refusal path so a WHOOP that advertises the heart-rate service is not saved as a plain sensor. The title names the primary behavior change and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history. The "1/6" prefix identifies this as part of a series, which is acceptable.

**Bands appear as plain sensors**
When an iOS system-device lookup returns a band without an advertisement sighting, the user pairs it from that row, and GATT exposes only standard services, `_scanForEntries` creates the candidate with `alsoBand: null` without checking its name or service evidence or populating `bandSeen`, so `pairNotifyDevice` has no band evidence to refuse the save and the band appears as a plain sensor.
Populate or check band identity evidence for iOS system-device candidates before allowing them to be paired as plain sensors.

} catch (e) {
failure = l?.pairSensorCouldNotPair(e.toString()) ?? 'Could not pair that device: $e';
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Late band evidence is lost**
When the user taps a candidate before a later band-identifying advertisement is processed, that advertisement arrives while scan shutdown is pending, and GATT discovery reports only standard heart-rate services, `pairNotifySensor` receives only the tapped candidate’s `alsoBand`; it does not re-read the scan’s updated evidence after stopping the scan. A newly received band advertisement can therefore be missed, and standard-only GATT discovery then lets the band be saved as a plain sensor.
After scan shutdown, use the latest candidate for that remote ID—or otherwise carry the scan’s final band evidence into pairing.
Also at `lib/ui2/profile/pair_sensor.dart:329`.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Failed pairing leaves device saved**
When the insert succeeds but the following database update fails, `LocalDb.upsertDevice` can insert the device row before its subsequent update throws; `pairNotifyDevice` catches that error and reports that nothing was saved, while the row remains and appears paired.
Run both database statements in one transaction so a failed update rolls back the insert.

} catch (e) {
failure = l?.pairSensorCouldNotPair(e.toString()) ?? 'Could not pair that device: $e';
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Confirmed band pairing is unreachable**
When a user wants to intentionally pair a detected band as a plain sensor, neither pairing screen creates or passes a `PairConfirmation`; both only pass `earlierBand`. `pairNotifyDevice` therefore returns a band outcome for every detected band, and the UI only displays a refusal, so users cannot deliberately keep one as a sensor or reach the promised `wristOptical` persistence path.
Add an explicit confirmation step bound to the selected remote ID and band entry, and pass that `PairConfirmation` into the pairing operation.
Also at `lib/ui2/profile/pair_sensor.dart:329`.

<issue_to_address>
**Stale names block real straps**
When the first advertisement has no name and a stale cached platform name matches a band, then a later advertisement names a genuine strap, `bandSeen` retains the earlier name-only band identity even after a later advertisement supplies a different name. If that earlier name came from a stale `platformName` and GATT shows only standard services, `pairNotifyDevice` refuses a genuine strap as a band.
Track the source of name-only evidence and replace or discard it when a later advertised name contradicts that guess.

+ ? band+ : earlier ?? band;
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Name overrides stronger band evidence**
When a peripheral first advertises a band service or service-data UUID, then later advertises only a name matching a different non-framed band, `candidateFromAd` treats `modelCertain` as evidence strength, but `bandIdentityOf` marks a name match for a non-framed band as model-certain. A later name-only advertisement can therefore replace an earlier service or service-data identity, so pairing reports the wrong band to the user.
Track evidence strength separately from model certainty and retain the stronger identity when later advertisements provide weaker evidence.
</issue_to_address>
Sourcery assessment
Needs a human reviewer. 6 findings to address first, and a confirmed band can be saved as a sensor, with a persistent device row and a wrist-optical tier; if that classification is wrong, reverting the code will not remove the row, though it can be repaired by removing or re-pairing the device. The other main effect is refusing to save a band as a plain sensor, which is reversible runtime behavior.
