Pulso can now send to several destinations at once, run from Shortcuts, and catch up in a background processing task.

Destinations

Settings → Destinations replaces the single server URL. Each destination has its own durable queue and retry backoff, so one that is down only delays itself.

  • HTTPS / webhook. POSTs the pulso.v2 envelope (schema, batchId, type, device, items), a bare array or NDJSON. Gzip is optional. It also supports custom headers and Authorization: Bearer, and with an HMAC secret it adds X-Signature: sha256=<hex> computed over the body as sent, after gzip.
  • Pulso server. The original protocol (POST <base>/ingest, bare array, gzip), with the /latest catch-up.
  • Home Assistant webhook. The envelope uncompressed, at most 200 items per request, with long series replaced by their length.
  • MQTT. A Network.framework MQTT 3.1.1 publisher with QoS 1 and TLS. Each batch publishes one JSON array per type to <prefix>/<type>, and deletions go to <prefix>/deleted. Each destination uses its own client id.
  • File export. Appends NDJSON to pulso-<date>.ndjson in the app's folder (visible in Files) or in a folder you pick, such as one in iCloud Drive.

Secrets (bearer token, HMAC secret, MQTT password) live in the Keychain per destination. The old server URL, token and queued batches migrate to a "Pulso server" destination. The old queue folder is removed only once every batch has moved.

Delivery semantics

SyncEngine writes each batch into every active destination's queue, then advances the HealthKit anchor. Previously the anchor moved on the server's ACK. With several destinations that would let one broken destination block the rest, so the anchor now moves once the data is on disk in every queue. Each queue still deletes a batch only after its destination accepts it. Disabling a destination stops its drain mid-run. The /latest catch-up applies only when every active destination answers it; the earliest timestamp per type wins, because the anchor is shared.

Shortcuts and background

  • Sync Health Data syncs incrementally, optionally for chosen types. With a date range it re-sends that period instead and leaves the anchors alone.
  • Backfill Health Data re-sends history, optionally since a date, for some or all types. It opens the app so it can run long.
  • Get Last Sync Status returns the last sync time, what it sent, and the queue and last response per destination.
  • A BGProcessingTask (pulso.processing) runs a full sync and drains the queues when iOS allows. Its identifier is fixed, like pulso.refresh, so re-signing with another bundle id doesn't break it.

The Status screen lists per-destination queue depth, next retry and last response. README and docs/PROTOCOL.md (v2 section) document the fork, the payload and every destination.

Checks

  • CI on macOS 26 with Xcode 26.6 builds the IPA, and the simulator tests pass. New tests cover hub fan-out (a failing destination keeps its batch while another delivers), enqueue refusing without a destination, HMAC against RFC 4231 test case 2, the envelope shape, Home Assistant slimming, Pulso URL handling, the catch-up merge, resend range filtering, and MQTT packet encoding and decoding. Codex wrote the MQTT publisher and its tests in a separate worktree.
  • Codex review round 1 found seven issues, all fixed in ed3af2f: legacy queue loss on migration, one destination's /latest limiting history for all, a drain that kept sending after a destination was disabled, a shared MQTT client id, concurrent appends to a shared file, snapshot resends ignoring the date range, and a background assertion without an expiry handler.
  • The receiver on the VPS (/ingest/pulso) accepted app-shaped envelopes with gzip, bearer and HMAC together, applied tombstones, and kept only the newest snapshot version per recordKey. All test rows were deleted afterwards.
  • Not verified on a real iPhone. MQTT against a live broker, the iCloud Drive folder picker, Shortcuts automations and BGProcessing scheduling all need a device.

📝 Walkthrough

The app now supports HTTP, MQTT, and file destinations with separate delivery queues and status. The change adds destination settings, sync and backfill Shortcuts, date-bounded resend, and background processing.

Changes: Destination delivery and sync

Layer / File(s) Summary
Destination configuration and delivery
Pulso/Destinations/*, Pulso/Sync/Uploader.swift, PulsoTests/DestinationTests.swift, PulsoTests/MQTTPacketTests.swift, docs/PROTOCOL.md, README.md, Pulso.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
Destination configuration supports REST, Pulso, Home Assistant, MQTT, and file export. HTTP, MQTT, and file transports encode and deliver batches. Tests cover destination formats and MQTT packet handling. Protocol documentation describes batch formats and destination output.
Per-destination queues and status

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 428d5

A destination edit during sync could leave samples unqueued while advancing the sync position. Fix that data-loss window before merging. The Shortcut should also report when no destination can deliver instead of showing an earlier result.

Destinations replace the single server: HTTPS/webhook (pulso.v2 envelope,
bare array or NDJSON; gzip; custom headers; bearer token; optional
X-Signature HMAC-SHA256 over the body as sent), the original Pulso
protocol, Home Assistant webhooks, MQTT (QoS 1, one message per type per
batch) and NDJSON files in a folder the user picks. Each destination has
its own durable queue and backoff, so one that is down never holds up
the others. Anchors advance once a batch is on disk in every queue.
The old server URL and token migrate to a "Pulso server" destination.

Adds Shortcuts actions (Sync Health Data, optionally by type and date
range; Backfill; Get Last Sync Status), a BGProcessingTask, and a
per-destination delivery view.

…ed files, resend range

- /latest hints apply only when every active destination answers; the
  earliest timestamp per type wins and types any destination lacks get
  a full backfill, since the anchor is shared.
- The legacy outbox folder is removed only after every batch moved, and
  kept when there is no migrated server.
- Outbox resolves its destination per batch, so disabling it stops a
  running drain.
- Each MQTT destination has its own client id.
- File appends share one lock.
- Snapshot resends honour the requested date range.
- Shortcut background assertions end on expiry.

- Queue to every enabled destination, configured or not, so one whose
  URL is mid-edit holds its batches instead of missing them; the footer
  says a disabled or newly added destination needs Backfill for history.
- Keep REST and Home Assistant URLs exactly as typed and refuse
  redirects, so a 3xx can't turn into a body-less GET counted as sent.
- Store custom header values in the Keychain.
- Decide the destination that drives per-type counts per batch.
- Resolve swipe-deleted destinations before removing any.
- Never lower a queue's sequence when adopting the legacy outbox.
- Decode destinations with defaults for missing fields.
- Report a stale export-folder bookmark and failed folder picks.

README.md:60-63
📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the "How it works" outbox description. It no longer matches the new anchor semantics.

This section still says "The anchor advances only when the server ACKs" and describes one server. After this change, SyncEngine.sync saves the anchor once every enabled destination's queue holds the batch on disk. OutboxHub passes anchors: nil to each Outbox. Each queue then deletes a batch only after its own destination accepts it. The diagram above (line 52) also shows only HTTP to one server. Readers who rely on this section to reason about data safety get the wrong model.

📝 Proposed wording
-- **The outbox** writes every batch to disk *before* the first upload
-  attempt and deletes it only on a server 2xx. **The anchor advances only
-  when the server ACKs.** Crash anywhere and the worst case is a re-send,
-  which the server dedupes by sample uuid.
+- **The outboxes** (one per enabled destination) get every batch on disk
+  *before* the first delivery attempt; each deletes it only once its
+  destination accepts it. **The anchor advances once the batch is in every

- Only a destination configured at least once keeps queueing while
  unconfigured; one added and never set up gets nothing.
- Keychain writes update in place, and header values are written only
  when they change; removed header rows lose their Keychain item.
- The Pulso server Test refuses redirects like deliveries do and says
  where the server points.
- Folder export works without a security scope and with a stale but
  resolvable bookmark; a failed folder pick shows an error.
- Catch-up asks every destination that receives batches.
- An unknown body format falls back to the default, and an unreadable
  destination entry is skipped instead of emptying the list.

README outside-diff comment fixed in d57ffc2: "How it works" now shows one queue per destination, says each deletes a batch only once its own destination accepts it, and that the anchor advances once the batch is in every queue.

Clearing a destination's URL in the session it was added saved the
in-memory copy's wasConfigured = false, so it stopped receiving batches.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A destination that started receiving while a /latest request was in
flight got batches bounded by another server's cutoff and missed older
history. Hints now carry the key of the receiving set they were fetched
for; an answer that arrives after the set changed is discarded, and
OutboxHub refuses a date-bounded batch unless the destinations it writes
to are exactly that set. The anchor isn't saved then, so the next pass
re-checks.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The catch-up key and the /latest requests read the destination list
separately, so a destination toggled between the two reads could give a
key naming a set that never answered. Both now come from one snapshot,
passed into the latestHints closure.

Pulso/App/AppServices.swift:251-257
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Return a clear result from syncFromIntent when no destination can deliver.

SyncEngine.performSync returns early when hasActiveDestination() is false. It then logs and does not call recordSyncFinished. status.lastSyncSummary keeps the value from an earlier sync.

In that case the Shortcut returns the old summary, for example "manual: queued 5 sample(s)…". The user then believes the sync ran. resend already returns "No destination is configured." for the same condition.

Proposed fix
     func syncFromIntent(keys: Set<String>?) async -> String {
+        guard await outbox.hasActiveDestination() else { return "No destination is configured." }
         await withBackgroundTime("pulso-shortcut-sync") {

OutboxHub.enqueue read the destination list twice: an empty target list
could pass a guard that re-read a deliverable destination, write nothing
and let the anchor advance. The guard now uses the targets it writes to.
The Sync Health Data shortcut reports a missing destination instead of
