Bug report: Steps are not being tracked on WHOOP 5.0 / MG (Edge) #192

Description

@gerageragarza-prog

What happened?

The app shows “no steps yet” throughout the entire day, even after walking for several minutes.
The circular progress indicator stays at zero, and the “EST” estimated steps value never updates.
I also tried the calibration option (walking ~250 steps with the app open), but no steps were recorded.

Steps to reproduce

Open Edge with a WHOOP 5.0 / MG connected.

Go to the Steps tab.

Keep the app open and walk ~250 steps (as instructed by the calibration prompt).

Observe that the step counter remains at 0, the circular progress indicator does not move, and the “EST” estimated steps value does not update.

Restart the app and reconnect the strap.

Repeat the walking test and confirm that steps are still not recorded.
