Why

The shared FIT→GPX converter (apps/journal/app/lib/connected-services/fit.ts) is 40 lines: it takes every record with coordinates and emits one flat track segment. It ignores pause/resume events (moving time and speed bridge lunch breaks), ignores sessions (a multisport file becomes one merged track), passes device altitude through without preferring the corrected enhanced_altitude, and does no coordinate sanity checks. Wahoo already feeds it; the Garmin importer (in flight) and COROS (planned) will too, multiplying every gap. Endurain's 1,100-line FIT handler (reviewed 2026-07-06) is a catalog of exactly which quirks matter in the wild — we adopt the subset relevant to trails' GPX-centric model.

What Changes

  • Pause-aware segmentation: FIT event stop/start pairs (and, as fallback, record gaps > 5 minutes) split the output into multiple <trkseg>s, so downstream moving-time and instant-speed math never bridges a pause.
  • Session-aware output: multi-session files (multisport) produce one <trkseg> per session with records sliced to each session's time window; single-session behavior unchanged.
  • Field preference and validation: prefer enhanced_altitude/enhanced_speed over base fields; drop records with non-finite or out-of-range coordinates or non-finite altitude (altitude → undefined, record kept); require a timestamp per record.
  • Sport extraction: expose the file's session sport/sub-sport mapped to trails' SportType so importers stop guessing (Wahoo importer currently maps workout-type codes itself; it can consume this when a FIT file is present).
  • Not in scope: HR/cadence/power/temperature streams (trails doesn't model them), lap extraction, developer fields, FIT writing (unchanged in @trails-cool/fit).

Capabilities

New Capabilities

Modified Capabilities

  • wahoo-import: the "FIT to GPX conversion" requirement is extended with pause/session segmentation, enhanced-field preference, and record validation guarantees.

Impact

  • apps/journal/app/lib/connected-services/fit.ts — the converter grows the four behaviors above; returns optional sport metadata alongside the GPX.
  • Wahoo importer/webhook + Garmin importer consume the richer return type (backward-compatible: GPX string still primary).
  • Tests: fixture FIT files (pause, multisport, garbage-coordinate) added next to the module; Endurain's backend/tests/.../test_utils_fit.py catalog is the reference for cases.
  • No schema or API changes.
