onExitSleep is called after each wrist gesture even in high power

Fenix 6 Series - 15.73

My watch face has got indicator low power which is bright after call onEnterSleep so I now when is low power.

In onExitSleep I start count something for zero and need 10 second and i dev version I show this counter.

I can see such strange behaviour:

- enter sleep - indicator bright

- wrist gesture - indicator not bright , counter 0, 1, 2...

- next wrist gesture - indicator still not bright , counter 0,1...

it means that system call onExitSleep wihout onEnterSleep or onEnterSleep and onExitSleep one by one

In my opinion it should work else:

- enter sleep - indicator bright

- wrist gesture - indicator not bright , counter 0, 1, 2...

- next wrist gesture - indicator still not bright , counter 3, 4,...

I agree that the behavior seems wrong as it conflicts with the docs.

I bet this was done so that watchfaces could always detect the *gesture*, even if the gesture happens while the watch is already in high power mode. (If that's the case, there should been a separate callback named onWristGesture() or something.)

There is no error if ENTER is called before EXIT, if not, it's a bug because e.g I may prepare something in onEnterSleep for onExitSleep.

onExitSleep()

The device is exiting low power mode.

Timers and animations may be started here in preparation for once-per-second updates.

However, I am not sure if it is a bug. Maybe a gesture is always considered as "waking" watch from whatever state it was before.

I think _psx_ is right.

My both watch faces can switch "pages" by wrist gesture.

I use a counter that is reset to 0 in onExitSleep.

Never thought about it, but I now aactually noticed, that I can even switch pages with gesture while watch is in high power, which means that onExitSleep was called while in high power mode.
