Feature Specification: Garmin Connect Synchronization Service

Feature Branch: 001-create-from-initialspec
Created: 2025-10-09
Status: Draft
Input: User description: "the feature description is in @initialspec.md"

User Scenarios & Testing (mandatory)

User Story 1 - Connect Garmin Account (Priority: P1)

As a single-app user, I want to securely connect my Garmin Connect account so that the application can access my fitness data.

Why this priority: This is the foundational step required for any data synchronization. Without it, no other feature can work.

Independent Test: Can be tested by initiating the connection process, authenticating with Garmin, and confirming the application shows a successful connection status. This delivers the core value of enabling data exchange.

Acceptance Scenarios:

  1. Given I am not connected to Garmin, When I choose to connect my Garmin account, Then I am securely redirected to a Garmin authentication page.
  2. Given I have successfully authenticated with Garmin, When I am redirected back to the application, Then the application shows that my account is successfully linked.
  3. Given I deny the authentication request on the Garmin page, When I am redirected back to the application, Then the application shows that the connection failed and allows me to try again.

User Story 2 - Synchronize Activities (Priority: P1)

As a connected user, I want the application to automatically download my latest activities (like runs, rides) from Garmin so my fitness dashboard is always up-to-date.

Why this priority: This is the primary purpose of the synchronization service, providing users with their core fitness data.

Independent Test: Can be tested by having a connected Garmin account with recent activities, triggering a sync, and verifying that the new activities appear within the application's database.

Acceptance Scenarios:

  1. Given my Garmin account is connected and has recent activities, When a synchronization event is triggered, Then the new activities are downloaded and stored by the application.
  2. Given an activity has already been synchronized, When the sync runs again, Then the existing activity is not duplicated.
  3. Given I manually trigger a sync, When the process starts, Then I can view the current status of the synchronization (e.g., "In Progress", "Completed", "Failed").

User Story 3 - Upload Workouts (Priority: P2)

As a connected user, I want to be able to upload a planned workout from the application to my Garmin Connect calendar so I can use it on my device.

Why this priority: This enables a two-way integration, allowing users to manage their training plans within the application and execute them on their Garmin devices.

Independent Test: Can be tested by creating a workout in the application, triggering the upload, and verifying the workout appears in the user's Garmin Connect calendar.

Acceptance Scenarios:

  1. Given my Garmin account is connected, When I choose to upload a workout, Then the workout is sent to my Garmin Connect calendar.
  2. Given the workout fails to upload due to a connection issue, When the process fails, Then I am notified of the failure with a clear error message.

Edge Cases

  • What happens if the user revokes access to the application from their Garmin Connect account settings?
  • How does the system handle rate limits imposed by the Garmin API to avoid being blocked?
  • What happens if a synchronization job is interrupted midway (e.g., server restart)?
  • How are data conflicts resolved if data is modified in both places between syncs?

Requirements (mandatory)

Functional Requirements

  • FR-001: System MUST allow a user to securely connect their Garmin Connect account.
  • FR-002: System MUST be able to store and manage authentication tokens for the connected Garmin account, including securely handling refresh tokens.
  • FR-003: System MUST download and store a user's activities from their Garmin account.
  • FR-004: System MUST provide a mechanism to manually trigger a data synchronization with Garmin.
  • FR-005: System MUST provide a way for the user to check the status of an ongoing or completed synchronization.
  • FR-006: System MUST be able to upload a user's planned workouts to their Garmin Connect calendar.
  • FR-007: System MUST synchronize user health metrics from Garmin, including Daily Summary (Steps, Resting Heart Rate, Sleep), VO2 Max, Heart Rate Zones, FTP Zones, and Max Heart Rate.
  • FR-008: All synchronization processes MUST run in the background to not block the user interface.
  • FR-009: The system's interaction with the Garmin API MUST be rate-limited to prevent exceeding API quotas.
  • FR-010: The system MUST include error handling and retry logic for failed API requests to Garmin.
  • FR-011: The system MUST maintain a history of synchronization events and their outcomes.

Key Entities (include if feature involves data)

  • User Account: Represents the single user of the application.
  • Garmin Connection: Stores the authentication tokens and connection status for a user's Garmin account.
  • Activity: Represents a fitness activity (e.g., run, cycle) with its associated data (e.g., distance, time, location data).
  • Workout: Represents a planned workout to be executed by the user.
  • Health Metric: Represents a specific point-in-time or daily health measurement (e.g., daily steps, resting heart rate).
  • Sync Job: Represents a single synchronization process, its status, and history.

Success Criteria (mandatory)

Measurable Outcomes

  • SC-001: 99% of synchronization requests should be successfully processed within 5 minutes of being initiated.
  • SC-002: Users can connect their Garmin account in under 60 seconds.
  • SC-003: The system must be able to handle and store at least 10 years of activity data for a single user without performance degradation.
  • SC-004: The synchronization process must accurately reflect the user's data from Garmin with a data discrepancy rate of less than 0.1%.
  • SC-005: No user-facing errors should occur during the background synchronization process. The user should only see the final status (Success/Failure).
