adds decodeRtcBeacon for the 0x85 rtc beacon the ring sends on its own.

u32 LE unix seconds at body offset 0, then reserved bytes and a u16 at offset 8 we don't decode (meaning unknown). bodies under 10 bytes and other tags are refused. same 1700000000-4100000000 date window as decodeTimeSync, so an unset rtc never becomes an anchor.

no real beacon frame in this repo yet, the doc says so. tests cover byte order, the 10-byte boundary, a foreign tag and an unset rtc.

Summary by Sourcery

Decode validated wall-clock anchors emitted by the ring’s RTC beacon events.

New Features:

  • Add decoding support for Oura RTC beacon events as Unix-time clock anchors.

Enhancements:

  • Document RTC beacons as an additional bridge between ring clock time and wall-clock time, with validation for supported event tags, payload length, and plausible dates.

Tests:

  • Add coverage for little-endian decoding, minimum payload length, foreign event tags, and unset RTC values.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for reading Unix timestamps from RTC beacon events. A timestamp is returned only when the event has the expected tag, enough data, and a value within the supported range; otherwise, no timestamp is returned.

Reviewer's Guide

Ports the open_oura RTC beacon layout into the Dart Oura protocol decoder, exposing the 0x85 event as a Unix-second wall-clock anchor with its trailer while deliberately leaving date plausibility validation to callers. Tests cover byte order, field offsets, minimum length, and tag validation.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Add decoding support for unsolicited RTC wall-clock beacon events.
  • Define the 0x85 event tag and OuraRtcBeacon value type.
  • Decode a 10-byte minimum body as a little-endian Unix-second field plus trailer at offset 8.
  • Avoid applying decodeTimeSync plausibility filtering; return null for foreign tags or truncated bodies.
lib/src/oura.dart
Add regression coverage for the RTC beacon wire layout and rejection rules.
  • Verify little-endian field decoding and trailer placement.
  • Verify truncated bodies and non-beacon tags are rejected.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Oura event module adds the 0x85 RTC beacon tag and decodeRtcBeacon. The decoder returns a Unix-second value when the event tag, body length, and timestamp meet its checks. Tests cover valid decoding and rejection cases.

Changes

RTC beacon decoding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Beacon tag, timestamp decoder, and tests
lib/src/oura.dart, test/oura_test.dart
Adds the 0x85 tag and decodeRtcBeacon. The decoder reads a little-endian u32 at offset 0 and returns null for other tags, bodies shorter than 10 bytes, or timestamps outside the inclusive range. Tests cover a valid timestamp and rejection cases. Comments identify both time-sync events as bridges between the ring counter and a date.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — lib (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
  • observed — test (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in test/oura_test.dart: Adds decodeRtcBeacon test cases for a valid Unix-seconds value and null results for a short body, a different event tag, and an unset RTC.
  • observed — Modified behavior in lib/src/oura.dart: The kOuraEvtTimeSync comment no longer calls it the only event pairing a Unix second with an envelope decisecond; it now says the RTC beacon also provides that pairing.
  • observed — Modified behavior in lib/src/oura.dart: Adds the 0x85 RTC beacon event tag and documents it as a ring-emitted wall-clock anchor.
  • observed — Modified behavior in lib/src/oura.dart: Adds decodeRtcBeacon, which rejects other tags, bodies shorter than 10 bytes, and timestamps outside the inclusive 1,700,000,000–4,100,000,000 range. It reads a little-endian u32 at offset 0 and returns that value; the documented u16 at offset 8 is not read.
