In `@lib/src/onehz/human/associations.dart`:
- Around line 436-439: Align the association refusal contract with
implementation: update associationLag and its callers so the nullability choice
is intentional, either making unalignable or same-timing pairs return null to
activate the backwards_in_time refusal path, or changing it to non-nullable int
and removing that dead guard. Update the documented AssociationRefusal.reason
list to include unreachable and remove reasons no call site emits, including
simultaneous, not_an_input, and misaligned_series.
- Around line 541-549: In the scan that builds the grids around variables and
dates, reject duplicate variable keys and duplicate date labels before
constructing or storing derived data. Treat either duplicate as invalid input
and abstain using the same behavior as the existing misaligned_series handling,
preventing later entries from overwriting earlier grid slots.
- Around line 555-576: Reorder the refusal checks in the variable-validation
loop so the coverage gate runs before the minPairedDays count gate, allowing
sparse fields to receive the user-facing sparse reason whenever coverage is
below minCoverage. Keep the existing thresholds, coverage recording, and
subsequent constant-value validation unchanged.
Apply the same fix in `@test/onehz/associations_test.dart` around lines 452 - 455.
- Around line 649-653: Update the short_history caveat condition in the
association caveat-building logic to compare span against the effective
minPairedDays threshold rather than the literal 84. Reuse the already computed
minPairedDays value, preserving the existing caveat behavior for spans below
that effective floor.
- Around line 26-32: Update lib/src/onehz/human/associations.dart lines 26-32 to
document blockLen’s default as 14 and reference the measurement table in
associationMinPairedDays; at lines 436-439, align associationLag’s return
type/unalignable-pair behavior with the caller by either returning null or
removing the unreachable guard, and update lines 321-323 to the reason strings
actually emitted; at lines 1042-1064, rename the scheme to fixed-block
permutation without changing the ordering count at lines 707-712.
In `@test/onehz/associations_test.dart`:
- Around line 477-547: Add tests covering the documented refusal paths: verify a
scan reports the no_contrast refusal, verify a constant variable receives the
variable-level constant refusal, and extend the redundant association test to
assert redundant_with is present with the expected value in Association.toJson
output.

review on #48, and it's right that the comments and the reason strings are callable surface rather than decoration. several of them described an earlier version of this. - blockLen doc said 7, ships 14. the table on associationMinPairedDays is where the 14 came from, so point at it. - associationLag can't return null and never could, so backwards_in_time was dead and simultaneous/not_an_input/misaligned_series were documented but never emitted. dropped the nullable return and the dead guard, and wrote out the reason list as exactly what comes out. the same-night refusal is real, it just lives in the +1 alignment rather than in a reason string — said so where the +1 happens. - two variables with the same key shared one grid slot and the loser's label could get published against the winner's series. same for two rows on one calendar day. abstain, like a misaligned series does. - coverage was checked after the count, which needs a 168-day window before it can bind, so every rarely-logged field came back need_pairs. "log this more often" and "wait 74 nights" are different instructions and only one of them is true for a field logged one day in twelve. rate first. - short_history used a literal 84 next to a constant that is 84. - tests for no_contrast, the variable-level constant refusal, and redundant_with in the json, which is the shape the edge will actually read.

@coderabbitai review five of six in. the short_history one i answered in the thread — using the effective floor would make that caveat permanently unreachable. |

correlates day-level series against each other on device. the whole thing is built around not inventing findings: - moving-block permutation for the null. days are autocorrelated and a plain shuffle destroys exactly the structure that caused the spurious correlation, so it calls it significant. measured on pure noise at phi 0.6, day-wise shuffling published something in 69% of histories, 14-day blocks in 11%. at phi 0.8 it's 98% vs 12%. that's the whole reason for the block length. - benjamini-hochberg over the entire grid, and nothing is screened on effect size before the correction runs. - lag is derived per pair from when each variable actually happened, so today's strain lands on tonight's sleep and nothing runs backwards. same-day pairs are simultaneous, not directional, so they're refused. - weekday is removed from both series before testing. "late meals hurt my recovery" is usually saturday. - readiness is never explained by hrv/rhr/resp/temp. it IS them. a variable declares what it's made of and those pairs are refused. - sleep duration, longest sleep and efficiency collapse to one finding instead of three. - under 12 weeks it says how many nights it needs. if the grid is wider than the history could ever answer, it says that too rather than returning an empty list and looking like nothing's happening. - imported days are erased, not blended. ~15 ms for 6 variables over 90 days, 80 ms for 14 over a year. the journal path (journalCorrelations / journalNumericCorrelations) is untouched, this doesn't duplicate it.

Stacked on #47 — review that first, this targets it.
An on-device correlation engine: "what actually moves my recovery", answered from your own data. Engine and tests only; no UI yet, so the output shape can settle first.
the number that decided the design
200 synthetic histories of pure AR(1) noise — no real signal anywhere — and the share of them that publish at least one "finding" at FDR 0.10:
At the autocorrelation real health data actually has, a day-wise shuffle invents findings in 69–98% of histories. 14-day moving blocks over 20 because 20 cost a third of the power (planted-effect detection 64% → 43%) for no honesty gain. Both rows are in the suite as a live contrast so it can't quietly regress.
This indicts code we already ship:
_permTwoSamplePand_permSpearmanPboth shuffle day-wise. Survivable for a sparse tag, not for a densely-logged numeric field. Separate follow-up.the rest of the statistics
benjaminiHochberginutil.dart. Nothing is screened on effect size before correction — that's the same problem in disguise. Abstained pairs don't enter m.journalFieldLagDaysruling.rhoRawkept for disclosure and aweekday_confoundedcaveat when they diverge. The test uses a purely weekend-driven fake: rhoRaw 0.79, adjusted 0.19, not published.what it returns
Findings carry the contrast in units you can feel, not bare r — plus
tested, every pair that got a p including the failures. A findings list with no denominator is how these screens lie.refused
Same-night pairs. "Does sleep duration affect that night's HRV" isn't answerable directionally from observational data — a bad night both shortens sleep and raises heart rate. Refused as
simultaneous.Variables excluded and why:
spo2/odi/strain_effort(null or tombstoned — a column existing is not data), wear-quality fields (so "wearing it more correlates with sleeping more" is guaranteed),irregular_rhythm_flag(a clinical screen is never a candidate cause),hrr_*(exists only after a hard session, so absence is informative), and a set of near-restatements — family size is a budget and each one costs the real findings power.the honest part
Power is low and that's the answer, not a tuning failure. At 120 days a moderate planted effect is found 56–64% of the time, a weak one ~18%. At 84 days only ~72 questions can reach significance at all. Most users on most days will get nothing, and the screen has to treat that as the normal state — otherwise the pressure to lower the bar comes straight back and we're at 69%.
Runtime: 13 ms for 6 vars × 90 days, 319 ms for 14 × 365. ~1 s on a phone for a once-a-day job.
for edge, when the UI lands
It takes a
measuredmask — imported days must be erased, not blended. OpenStrap/edge#261 builds exactly that seam (importedDates()), because it turned out four of the eight baselines were already polluted the same way.Also:
metric_seriesspliceskAlgoVersion65/66/68 across a year and finalized days can't be re-derived, so a 12-month window partly correlates algorithm changes. Cap the window or readmetric_series_version— an edge scoping call.Summary by CodeRabbit
