Solve the cadence lock on Pixel Watch 3

PW3 shows severe cadence lock, spiking primarily in the first 20 mins. S1 shows 195bpm max vs Garmin’s 159bpm. S2 has a 23bpm avg gap (152bpm PW3 vs 129bpm Garmin). The sensor clearly confuses step rhythm with heart rate at the start of runs. Hardware replacement failed to fix this systemic error.
