CRITICAL HOTFIX:
• Fixed crash in coaching brief/prep talk that affected users in certain regions
• Resolved 14 unsafe SwiftData predicates with date comparisons
• Eliminated crash risk when viewing pre-workout coach briefings
• Improved stability across all AI coaching features

BACKGROUND:
This hotfix addresses a critical bug discovered by an Ireland-based user on iPhone 15 Pro Max running v2.15.4. The crash occurred when viewing the workout prep talk (coaching brief) due to unsafe date comparisons in SwiftData predicates - the same type of issue that caused v2.15.1-v2.15.4 crashes.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:
• Fixed WorkoutCoachingService wellness data predicate (missed in previous hotfixes)
• Fixed all unsafe predicates in AI coaching tools:
  - WellnessDataTool (1 predicate)
  - WorkoutContextTool (3 predicates)
  - InjuryStatusTool (1 predicate)
  - RecentPerformanceTool (3 predicates)
  - TrainingInsightsTool (5 predicates)
• Applied same safety pattern: fetch all, then filter by date in code

RECOMMENDATION:
All users should update immediately, especially those experiencing crashes when starting workouts or viewing coaching features.

Previous features (v2.19.0):
• Granular AI coach controls - toggle bubbles, prep talks, and summaries independently
• Message deduplication to prevent repeated coaching content
• Enhanced user control over coaching experience
