}Interpretation
The branches represent separate entry-bearing project variants in the downloaded bundle, not runtime calls between those variants. Each branch is intentionally collapsed at the documented framework boundary; the detailed target-local flow remains in the cited files. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment.

Ownership evidence
Shared/Views/SummaryView.swift:123 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
private struct ZoneDetailView: View {
let title: String
// ...
}| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
ZoneDetailView |
String (title) |
owns value state | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
ZoneDetailView |
ZoneDisplayData (zones) |
stores or receives | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
SummaryMetricRow |
String (title) |
owns value state | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
SummaryMetricRow |
String (value) |
owns value state | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.

Access control
| Symbol | Access | Verified effect | Likely rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
workoutManager (HKWorkoutZoneSample Watch App/HKWorkoutZoneSampleApp.swift:12) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |

// ...
}Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.
Logic ownership and placement
| Logic | Owning type or file | Placement rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Application entry and top-level composition | HKWorkoutZoneSampleApp, HKWorkoutZoneSampleWatchApp |
The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit. |
| Long-lived feature or framework coordination | CountDownManager, WorkoutManager |
The source’s Manager suffix makes this role explicit. |
| Feature data or observable state | MetricsModel, NavigationModel |
The source’s Model suffix makes this role explicit. |
| User-interface presentation and input forwarding | ContentView, ControlsView, CountDownView, ElapsedTimeView |
The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Delegate or data-source callbacks | Shared/WorkoutManager.swift:225 |
Callback protocols invert event delivery back into the sample’s owner. |
| Actor-isolated state | Shared/CountDownManager.swift:11 |
Actor annotations make the concurrency ownership boundary explicit. |
Naming conventions
- Types: App: HKWorkoutZoneSampleApp, HKWorkoutZoneSampleWatchApp; Manager: CountDownManager, WorkoutManager; Model: MetricsModel, NavigationModel; View: ContentView, ControlsView, CountDownView, ElapsedTimeView, HeartRateZoneView.
- Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
- Methods:
zoneColor,formatZoneDuration,prepareWorkout,requestAuthorization,startWorkout,pause,resume,togglePause. - Files:
HKWorkoutZoneSampleApp/HKWorkoutZoneSampleApp.swift,Shared/Views/SummaryView.swift,Shared/WorkoutManager.swift,HKWorkoutZoneSample Watch App/MetricsView.swift,HKWorkoutZoneSampleApp/MetricsView.swift,Shared/NavigationModel.swift.
Architecture takeaways
HKWorkoutZoneSampleAppis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches SwiftUI, HealthKit through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
- Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
- Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
- The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
