NutriTrace v1.0.0-rc.54 released: Health Connect sync fix, local LLM proxy support, backup fidelity pass

NutriTrace is a self-hosted nutrition tracker (Docker + Android, AGPL-3.0). Small point release focused on stability and fixes.

Fixes

• Health Connect users’ Android sync unstuck (#89). Pending Health Connect rows on the phone were tripping a SQL bug on push, which stopped every subsequent pull. Symptom: items added on the browser weren’t reaching the phone. Every user with Health Connect enabled on the Android app was silently affected. Two independent reporters (duplaja + traebertthomas-cpu) traced this to the same root cause within days of each other. Update the app on Android; the sync error banner clears on the next sync cycle.

• More accurate Time to Sound Sleep in Sleep Quality. Server-side ttss derivation now includes the initial 5-10 min settling-in awake segment, matching what the Fitbit app measures. Closes the consistent -5 to -7 min under-count on nights with a short initial wake segment. Applies to Health Connect and Google Health syncs.

What’s new

• Server-side proxy for OpenAI-compatible AI providers (#90). Env-locked AI now supports AI_PROVIDER=oai-compat alongside claude / openai / gemini. Point AI_BASE_URL at a private-network Ollama, LM Studio, LocalAI, vLLM, or similar and the server calls it directly, so the browser never has to see the endpoint. Solves the mixed-content + Docker-internal-DNS gap for self-hosters running a local LLM sidecar. Same capability added to LiftTrace and CookTrace at the same time.

• Backup + restore fidelity pass. Eight silent data-loss scenarios closed across the full backup, JSON export/import, and Android local backup flows. Highlights: OFF unit metadata (nutrition_basis, alt_units, density_g_ml) from rc.50 now survives a restore, federation API tokens survive backups, JSON settings import correctly pushes to the server on PWA, and native restore no longer double-inserts on a second pass.

• “Copy to another date” defaults to today. Copying a meal or item from a past date now pre-fills today in the picker instead of the source date. One less tap for the “same lunch again today” case.

Install / upgrade

• Docker: pull the new image and restart your stack (see the README for compose snippets). Image is multi-arch (amd64 + arm64).
• Android: signed APK on the release page.
• Full CHANGELOG: main repo.

AI Disclosure

Per Rule 7 / [AIP] disclosure requirements AI was used during development as a coding assistant. Level per category:

• Design (architecture, system design): Hint — I make the architectural calls; AI suggests trade-offs and edge cases I might have missed.
• Implementation (production code): Pair — roughly 50/50. AI drafts, I review, adjust, test on real hardware, and only commit what I’ve verified. Every commit is manually reviewed before it goes to my dev repo.
• Testing (writing tests, test plans, QA): Assisted — real-device testing is manual (I test on my own PC and mobile devices before every release). AI helps draft test plans and think through edge cases.
• Documentation (docs, comments, README, CHANGELOG): Pair — release notes and changelog entries are drafted with AI then edited for tone; comments and code docs are mostly Pair as well.
• Review (code review, PR feedback): Assisted — I’m the reviewer; AI helps with security sweeps, audit passes on complex changes, and consistency checks.
• Deployment (CI/CD config): Hint — Docker/GitHub Actions/release pipeline is largely conventional; AI-suggested improvements only.
