Your AI coach just got a lot smarter. It now understands your archetype — whether you're on a PrimeCut calorie cycle low day, a Forge deload week, or entering your luteal phase on Vixen, the coach sees your live data and tailors advice accordingly. ###Smarter coaching by archetype### The AI coach now receives real-time data from your active pack — calorie cycle day targets, progression status, fasting state, cycle phase, and more. Tips and suggested tasks on your home screen are now specific to your archetype instead of generic. ###Satiety meter### A new satiety score on your nutrition page estimates how satisfied you should feel based on what you've eaten, factoring in protein, meal composition, and time since your last meal. Each logged meal also gets a satiety quality badge so you can see which meals keep you fuller longer. Your coach can reference your satiety score when making meal recommendations. ###Pack-aware notifications### Morning notifications now reflect your archetype — PrimeCut users see today's cycle day type and calorie target, Forge users get progression summaries, Vixen users see their current phase. Contextual alerts fire when your data warrants it, like a deload suggestion when multiple lifts stall or a budget warning when you're overshooting your weekly calories. ###Calorie cycle macro sync### The macro targets on your nutrition page now match your cycle day. Previously, low days showed the correct calorie target but base macro numbers — now protein, carbs, and fat targets update to reflect your actual cycle day split. ###Improved food scanning### Scanning meals with multiple components now correctly lists each ingredient separately with accurate per-item macros, instead of dropping ingredients from the list. ###Coach macro fix### Switching archetypes no longer carries over stale macro targets from a previous Sentinel coach. Your nutrition targets now reset to match your new pack immediately on switch.

Security Improvements & App Optimizations

Security Improvements & App Optimizations

**UI/UX Overhaul — Home Screen Redesign** Protocol's home screen has been completely reimagined with a three-page swipeable layout that puts every tool exactly where you need it. **Three-Domain Home Screen** Swipe between Compliance, Nutrition, and Analytics — three dedicated pages that organize your entire fitness command center. Compliance tracks your daily directives and coach intel. Nutrition handles calories, macros, and meal logging. Analytics houses your biometrics, weekly audits, and training calendar. **Glass Protocol Design System** Every card, container, and interactive element has been rebuilt with Protocol's signature cyan-tinted glass aesthetic. The old gray and black boxes are gone — replaced by a cohesive, translucent design language that feels like it belongs in a mission control interface. **Animated Launch Experience** Calorie and macro numbers now count up with a smooth animation the moment you open the app. Progress bars animate in sync — so every launch feels alive, not static. **Refined Visual Hierarchy** A new proportionally-scaled Protocol logo anchors the nutrition page and adapts to every screen size. The calorie display has been softened and resized for better balance. Each macro — protein, carbs, and fat — now carries its own distinct color and a green status indicator so you can read your dashboard at a glance. **Streamlined Navigation** Chevrons, lock icons, and visual clutter have been stripped out entirely. Tap targets have been expanded across every interactive card — no more dead zones. The navigation bar is hidden for maximum screen real estate. Meal logging now flows naturally: meals first, schedule and supplements below. **Coach Intel & Workout Access** The Compliance page now surfaces your Coach Intel feed and a quick-access Workout banner right below your daily directives — so your training plan is never more than one tap away. **System Calibration Intelligence** Protocol's adaptive engine now shows you exactly what it's learning — and how close it is to fully personalizing your experience. **Live Calibration Dashboard** A new card on your home screen tracks the status of every intelligence system as it learns your patterns. Watch your TDEE estimate, meal timing model, compliance baseline, weekly audit, coach profile, and body composition scan go from "Awaiting Data" to "Online" in real time. **Smarter First-Week Coaching** Your AI coach now understands that it's still learning about you. During your first 1–2 weeks, it proactively explains what data it needs, why recommendations will sharpen over time, and celebrates each system that comes online — so you always know the app is working, not guessing. **Calibration Milestone Notifications** Get notified the moment a key system finishes calibrating. Each milestone means more personalized guidance — and you'll know exactly when it happens. **All Systems Online** Once every intelligence system is fully calibrated, the dashboard celebrates with an "All Systems Online" confirmation before gracefully disappearing — your Protocol is now fully yours.

### Smarter Calorie Tracking Fixed an issue where meal scan calories could differ from the macros breakdown. Calories are now always derived directly from your parsed protein, carbs, and fat — so the numbers always add up. ### Apple Watch TDEE Integration If you wear an Apple Watch, Protocol now reads your active and resting energy data to calculate a significantly more accurate TDEE. Watch-measured energy replaces formula estimates, bringing accuracy from ±300 kcal down to roughly ±100 kcal. ### 7-Day Health Backfill Protocol now pulls your last 7 days of steps, active minutes, and sleep from Apple Health on first launch. This means your TDEE and activity level are dialed in from day one — no more waiting a week for accurate readings. ### Improved TDEE Engine The adaptive TDEE system now uses a three-tier priority: Apple Watch energy data first, body composition scans second, and formula-based estimation as a fallback. Your calorie targets get more precise as more data becomes available. ### Bug Fixes & Stability General improvements to Health data syncing and biometrics persistence.
