Track iOS HealthKit sensors for local health package #1818

Description

@CCOSTAN

Context

Split out from #1815 item 1 so this can be tracked independently.

Upstream Home Assistant iOS work: home-assistant/iOS#4923

As of 2026-07-04, the upstream PR is open and draft. It proposes optional Apple HealthKit-backed Companion App sensors exposed through the existing sensor webhook flow, with per-sensor controls. The relevant local opportunity is to consume the final iOS health sensor entities once they are merged and released.

Proposed local direction

  • Track the upstream PR, companion app release notes, and documentation until HealthKit sensors are merged and available.
  • After release, verify the actual Home Assistant entity IDs and attributes from the live Companion App integration before adding YAML.
  • Add a local health package for daily movement and resting-heart-rate helpers using the final sensor names.
  • Consider Telegram coaching automations and optional health-note or memory summaries only after the base sensors are stable.
  • Keep public docs and GitHub comments privacy-safe; document patterns and derived helper behavior, not private health details.

Acceptance criteria

  • Upstream HealthKit sensor support is merged and available in an iOS Companion App release.
  • Live HA entities for the enabled HealthKit sensors are verified before implementation.
  • Local package uses the standard YAML header and keeps helpers centralized in the relevant package file.
  • Daily movement/resting-heart-rate helper behavior is implemented with stable, recorder-friendly sensors where appropriate.
  • tools/ha_check_config.ps1 passes after any local YAML changes.
  • Relevant package README/docs are updated if local behavior changes.
