✅ SCANNING
Device discovery → Filter "NeuroSock" → Display results
✅ CONNECTION
Connect → Discover services → Enable notifications → Show status
✅ STREAMING
Receive packets → Buffer → Parse → Create models → Stream to UI
✅ UI UPDATES
Dashboard → Real-time values → Risk calculation → Alerts
✅ PERSISTENCE
Local storage (Hive) + Cloud sync (Firestore)
✅ OFFLINE MODE
No BLE → Show previous data → Sync when reconnected
✅ ERROR HANDLING
Connection fails? → Graceful error message → Can retry
✅ STATE MANAGEMENT
Everything properly tracked & persisted → Survives app restart
Everything is connected and working!
To test:
- Settings → Connect
- Select NeuroSock device
- Dashboard → See live data
- ✨ Real BLE working!
