I'd like to be able to disable the step counter or its goal.

Description

Simply setting the goal count to 0 and never getting notified about it would be fine. I'm just disabled, in a wheelchair most of the time, and it's not a useful metric for me the way heart rate monitoring or getting notifications on my watch are, and it's really not a feature I bought a PineTime for and I'd like to opt out.

Research direction

Start by tracing where the step counter, its goal, and related notifications are implemented in the firmware. Determine whether the requested behavior should disable recording, suppress the goal, or both, and check existing tests or build targets if available. Done means users can opt out without step-goal notifications while other watch features continue working.
