What triggers a concerning wellness flag

The exact list of triggers on a single wellness log entry.

What "concerning" means

When you submit a wellness log, the Hub checks it against a fixed list of thresholds. If any one threshold is hit, the log gets a concerning marker. Concerning entries surface on your coach's dashboard so they know to look at this entry in particular.

The exact list of triggers

A log is marked concerning if ANY one of these is true:

Trigger Threshold
Illness reported illness flag is on
Low sleep sleep_hours is less than 5
High stress stress is 8 or higher (on the 1-10 scale)
High soreness soreness is 8 or higher (on the 1-10 scale)
Body battery drained body_battery is 1 (the lowest level)
Alcohol alcohol_drinks is 3 or more

These come from the concern_flags property on the WellnessLog model and produce human-readable reasons like "low sleep (4.5h)" or "high soreness (8/10)".

In addition, a separate trend-based trigger exists:

The HRV trend is computed across recent logs (not from a single entry), so it can fire even when an individual day otherwise looks normal.

What does NOT trigger a flag

Things that may concern a coach but do not auto-flag:

The coach can still flag any of these manually with a CoachNote.
