Add mobile app, map-core, nearby sync, and activity recording specs
mobile-app: Unified React Native + Expo app combining Planner and
Journal. OAuth2 PKCE auth, MapLibre maps, versioned REST API with
Zod schemas, configurable server URL, offline SQLite, Web Push relay
notifications. TanStack Query + Zustand state management. Jest +
Maestro testing. 76 tasks across 5 phases.

map-core-package: Extract renderer-agnostic map definitions (tiles,
color palettes, POI categories, z-index) into @trails-cool/map-core.
Pure refactor preparing for MapLibre on mobile. 27 tasks.

mobile-activity-recording: GPS recording, live stats, HealthKit/Health
Connect export. Separated from mobile-app for independent scheduling.

mobile-nearby-sync: BLE route sync between nearby devices for offline
group riding. QR waypoint sharing as simpler v1. TXQR noted as future.

journal-rest-api spec: Full API contract — endpoints, auth, pagination,
errors, discovery, versioning, BRouter proxy.

Why

The mobile app (when built) will show routes and allow editing, but won't record activities. Users want to track their rides/hikes with GPS, see live stats, and save recordings as Journal activities. This is a separate feature that depends on the mobile app foundation being in place first.

What Changes

  • GPS track recording via expo-location (foreground + background)
  • Live stats overlay (distance, duration, speed, elevation gain)
  • Save recorded track as GPX → Journal activity linked to the active route
  • HealthKit (iOS) / Health Connect (Android) export
  • Discard/pause/resume recording flow

Capabilities

New Capabilities

  • mobile-activity-recording: GPS recording, live stats, save as activity, health platform export

Impact

  • Depends on mobile-app change being implemented first
  • New dependencies: expo-location, expo-health
  • Background location permissions needed (App Store privacy review)
