Target Heart Rate Zones implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Input and validation requirements

The specification has no stated validation for non-physiological ages, intensity bounds, or numeric overflow. Extreme inputs can produce -Infinity, and an intensity-unit ambiguity can produce 8460 bpm instead of 144 bpm.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
