• Improved stability across all AI coaching features
BACKGROUND:
This hotfix addresses a critical bug discovered by an Ireland-based user on iPhone 15 Pro Max running v2.15.4. The crash occurred when viewing the workout prep talk (coaching brief) due to unsafe date comparisons in SwiftData predicates - the same type of issue that caused v2.15.1-v2.15.4 crashes.

- TrainingInsightsTool (5 predicates)
• Applied same safety pattern: fetch all, then filter by date in code

All users should update immediately, especially those experiencing crashes when starting workouts or viewing coaching features.
