Project description:
"I’m building a story-driven running app for Apple Watch, and I want the next sprint to prove that the watch can turn a normal outdoor run into a real-time “chase and catch” game.

Your assignment is to ship a small but complete watchOS module in Swift that:

• Streams heart-rate data live with HealthKit
• Spawns virtual power-ups on a timer or distance trigger and shows them with clear on-screen visuals (icons, simple animation, or text)
• Lets the runner “catch” a power-up only when they reach the required heart-rate zone; if they miss the window, the item disappears
• Pushes an instant WatchKit haptic when the item appears (optional but helpful), yet the main feedback must be the visual alert, because that is the primary mode I chose
• Keeps the UI responsive and adapts colour or layout as the zones change in real time

I’ll share a full PRD, mock ups, zone logic, and sample assets once we start. Clean, readable Swift, HealthKit, and WatchKit code is a must, and I’ll expect a short README explaining how to run the demo on a real device. If this slice feels fun and performant we’ll widen the scope to audio cues and obstacle items next.

Please tell me how you would structure the state machine for spawning items, and link to any previous watchOS or real-time fitness work you’ve done so I can gauge fit." (client-provided description)
