Every other surface here is handed `now` — the headline, the board, the dailies
strip, the detail sheet — for the reason the parsers are: a function that reads
the clock cannot be rendered against a fixed instant, so nothing about it can be
asserted. The list row was the one exception, calling the wall clock twice for
its window caption and its "starts in".
Two things follow from fixing it. Those numbers were counted from a different
instant than the `clock` sitting beside them in the same row, which is a
disagreement nobody would ever notice and nobody could ever prove. And the
countdown is now testable: rendering one row at two instants gives the two
answers the injected clock implies, which is what the new test pins.

The panel was one open block of everything in two columns. That reads fine at
four games and stops working at eighteen: the game list alone is eighteen rows
of four controls each, and it sat above the checkbox somebody had scrolled down
here to tick. Nothing was findable and everything was in the way.
Collapsing it into groups is only half an answer, though — a group showing
nothing but its name turns "what is my region set to?" into a click, which
trades one kind of friction for another. So each summary carries its group's
current state: "Europe · Dark", "17 of 18 on · A–Z", "plus finished, not
started". Closed, the panel is a five-line report of how the app is configured;
opening one is for changing an answer rather than reading it. The states are
derived from `prefs` at render, never stored, so they cannot drift from the
controls they describe.
Native `<details>`, for the reason the reorder arrows are ordinary buttons:
keyboard and screen reader reach it with no second implementation. `summary` is
not an `a`, `button` or `[tabindex]`, so it needed its own focus-visible rule —
the shared one does not reach it.
Two things fell out along the way. The region and appearance rows had no
accessible name at all, so a screen reader read six unlabelled buttons in a row;
they and the board's split pills are one `PillGroup` now, with the `role="group"`
the board's own controls already carry. And the empty states that point at
"Show events that haven't started" now name the group holding it, which is what
makes shipping the groups closed safe.

This project has no linter and does not want one, but `strict` says nothing
about a binding that is simply never read — and that is the one kind of dead
code a reader cannot tell apart from a deliberate seam. `tsc` already walks
every file, so it may as well answer the question.
Three had accumulated: an unread `type View` import in App, and a
`useGameMeta()` resolver in Controls and YourOwn, both of which draw their
colours from somewhere else — the game-order list has its own resolver, and
YourOwn reads the reader's own records directly. None of them were wrong, they
were just leftovers that read as intent.

The games chip row becomes a row per game, because a reorder affordance needs
somewhere to put a handle and two arrows, and at fourteen games a list reads
better than a wrapped row of pills anyway.
Reordering lives here and nowhere else. The focus bar and the dailies strip are
the fastest tap targets in the app, and a drag target sitting on top of a tick
target costs somebody a streak the first time it misfires — so the live surfaces
stay drag-free and this is the screen you visit on purpose.
Both affordances ship. Touch fires no drag events at all, so the arrows are the
mechanism and the handle is the pointer fast path; being ordinary buttons is
also what makes the whole thing reachable by keyboard and screen reader without
a second implementation of the same interaction. An arrow at either end is
disabled rather than removed, because a control that disappears on the first row
slides the other one under the finger aiming at it.
A move writes back the whole displayed list: the indices are positions on
screen, so applying them to a stored order that names only some lanes would move
the wrong game. Reset writes the field away rather than storing an empty order.

The focus bar, the settings list, the timeline's lanes and the dailies strip all
go through `orderGames` now, resolved once in App. `games` itself stays in feed
order on purpose: `adoptNewLanes` diffs it and `knownGames` is seeded from it,
so ordering it at source would let a display preference reach the code that
decides which of a reader's games get hidden — a reordering bug would become a
game-silently-switched-off bug.
The dailies strip also groups. It was `[...chores, ...repeating]`, which put
Genshin's commissions and Genshin's own login event at opposite ends with a
dozen games between them; a game's chore and its repeating events are now
adjacent, chore first, events in the order they arrived. Collapsed that is
adjacency alone — no per-game headings, because this is the part of the page
answerable in ten seconds and a heading each would make it the tallest block on
it, pushing "next to expire" down the page.
Two things moved to where they belong. Skipping a standing chore for a lane the
reader invented is `dailyGroups`' rule, not the call site's: filtering those
lanes out in App also cost a reader's own game its place in the order its events
group under. And the expanded catch-up panel is its own exported component, so
which days it offers and whose clock they were cut on are testable rather than
trapped behind a `useState`.
`Welcome` drops its own comparator for the shared rule — the picker runs before
any stored order, so it asks for the A–Z case and cannot drift from the four
surfaces behind it.

People play at midnight and tick at breakfast, or forget for a week and come
back. A log that only accepts today goes wrong on its first bad evening and is
never trusted again.
An event whose end was published already allowed this — its checklist draws the
whole run and past pips are clickable. `catchUpDays` answers the two cases
`dailyDays` cannot: a standing chore, which has no start or end because it is a
routine rather than an event, and an event with `endsAt: null`, where the
checklist could draw no run at all and so offered only today. That second one
is the worse of the two, because it looks like a working checklist.
Never a day past today. A tick claims you did it, and nobody can have done
tomorrow, so a future day is absent rather than rendered and disabled — a
control for a claim that cannot be true. An event's strip starts when the event
did, capped at the same fortnight so a login campaign that opened in March does
not become a wall of pips.
The window bounds display and never data: a tick older than it stays logged and
keeps counting toward the streak. `DayPip` moves to its own module rather than
being copied, so there is one answer to what a missed day looks like.

The picker took `available` in feed order — whichever game happened to hold
the first event row — which means something everywhere else in the app and
nothing on this screen, where the reader is scanning for the two or three
names they already know.
Sorted on the name printed on the button rather than the LaneId, since the id
is not what a reader sees, and through localeCompare rather than `<`, because
a code-point sort files hololive Dreams after every capitalised game instead
of between Genshin and Honkai.

It was the board's alone, sitting between two app-wide filters and
carrying a line of small print to explain why it was different. It is the
same events answering the same question in either view, so it is now one
switch: the board plots them, and the checklist keeps its "Not started
yet" section.
That means the section is off by default, which is a visible change for
every existing reader — deliberate, and the same argument the board makes.
This app answers what expires next; on fourteen lanes the queued patches
are more rows than the thing they came for.
`timelineUpcoming` becomes `showUpcoming`, because the old name would now
be false, and `adoptRenamed` carries a stored answer across on load.
Nothing would be lost by dropping it — `prefs` is one blob under one key,
not a key space — but a reader who had switched the future on would find
it off with no explanation, and they should not have to say a thing
twice. A stored new name always wins, so it cannot overwrite a fresher
answer with a stale one.
Gating the section alone would have opened a hole: nothing running and
everything held back rendered an empty column, because the "nothing to
show" line keyed off there being no rows at all rather than none listed.
It now counts what is held back and names the switch, as the board does.
The split pills stay the board's: the checklist gives these a section
with a heading either way, so there is nothing there to mix them into.

They are the same object twice — a pill carrying a game's colour, pressed
or not, that you tap — so they get the same hover rather than a second
one: a ring in the game's hue, a one-pixel lift, and the label coming up
to full ink while the chip is not the pressed one.
Sharing it meant `.tick-chip` becoming `.hue-chip`, and dropping the
`data-done` attribute it keyed off. Both chips were already saying the
same thing in `aria-pressed`, and a second attribute repeating it is one
more thing to keep in step — a rule that reads the announced state cannot
disagree with it.
The focus strip needed a pixel of headroom for that lift. `scroll-x` sets
`overflow-x: auto`, which computes the vertical axis to `auto` as well,
so a chip that rises loses that pixel and its ring to the scroller's
edge; `pt-1` is the room, and `mt` gives the same total gap back.

"In their own group" is the shape of a patch — what is on now, and what
is queued behind it. "Mixed in" is the question a Gantt chart exists for:
what runs out first, whether or not it has opened. On real data that is
not a cosmetic difference — mixed, five events currently running sort
below an Arknights rerun that has not started, because it closes before
they do.
Which is why it is a pair of pills and not a checkbox: neither answer is
the absence of the other, and "mixed in" is a different order rather than
the heading switched off. It sits under the row that puts the future on
the board at all, and only while that row is ticked — a choice about
arranging unstarted events is unanswerable with none of them on screen.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
A dashed edge and a thinner wash say "this bar has not started". They do
not say where the running ones ended, so a board with the future switched
on had to be decoded bar by bar to answer the question a reader opens it
with — what is on now.
So the boundary gets a label, and it is the same object as a lane's name:
a small eyebrow pinned to the left edge, surviving any scroll position. In
muted ink rather than a hue, because a hue on this board means "whose
event is this" and this is not about a game. One per lane, since "where
does this stop running?" is a different answer for each of them.
Where it goes is a single index rather than a per-row test, because there
is only one boundary: every order this board can be given puts live rows
before upcoming ones, and `splitAt` is exported so that is a test rather
than a comment.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
It shipped as a pill in the board's own header, beside the stacking and
scale controls. That is the wrong company: those two reshape what is
already on the board, which is why they are reached for while reading it,
and this one decides what is on it at all — the same question
"Show events I've finished" and "Show events I'm ignoring" answer, from
the panel where both of those live.
It is the only one of the three scoped to a single view, so the row says
so instead of reading as a promise about the whole app. The board loses
the count the pill carried; with nothing left running it still says how
many are waiting and names the setting, and the page header has said
"N live · N upcoming" all along.
Controls had no tests at all, so the three view filters get some: what
each checkbox is bound to is invisible in a diff and obvious only to the
reader it happens to.

The strip is the fastest thing on the page to act on and nothing happened
under the cursor, so a row of tappable jobs read as a row of status
badges.
The hover has to be drawn from what the component does not own: a chip's
border, ink and wash are mixed from the game's hue, which is data rather
than a token and so arrives as an inline style that no rule can override.
A ring in the same hue, a one-pixel lift and the label coming up to full
ink do the work instead, off `--hue` and `data-done`. Only an outstanding
chip brightens its label — on a finished one the ink *is* the hue, and
overriding it would trade the one thing saying which game for a hover
state.

It is the thing on the page a reader is most likely to tap and the only
clickable text in the panel that did nothing under the pointer — the
queued deadlines beneath it brighten, and every list row brightens, so
the headline read as a heading rather than as a way in.

Two halves of one reading. The board answers "how does the time I am in
lay out?", and plotting every lane's next patch stretched the window
weeks past today and squeezed the running bars down to nothing — so it
holds them back, and holds them back itself rather than being handed a
shorter list, because the control has to say *how many*. A board that
quietly withheld a third of the schedule is indistinguishable from a
quiet fortnight, which is the wrong thing for this app to imply by
accident. A board with nothing left running says so and points at the
control instead of reading as an empty calendar.
Switched on, a bar drawn right of the now rule is only implicitly in the
future, and implicitly is not a standard we hold anywhere else a date is
involved. Gacha schedules are not a smooth stream of starts either — a
patch ships six things at once — so the unit is the clump: a dashed rule
per group of starts, labelled in words. Clumps merge by distance on
screen rather than by calendar, since a week apart is one mark at six
pixels a day and two at a hundred and eight, and a merged one states the
span it covers rather than claiming a date the board is not ruling at.

The link sits last in the existing row beside @StereotypicalCat and Source
code, in that row's own muted grey, with the same hover and the same small
mark. No accent colour, no button, no sentence asking for anything, and the
footer still contains no appeal anywhere — a test asserts that. This page earns
its keep by being trusted about dates, and a tip jar competing with the
disclaimer two paragraphs above spends that trust to make an ask. As one more
link it costs nothing and is there for a reader already looking.
The row also moves above "Additional ideas and design from". That row is who
built this and where to find them; the credit below it is other people. Reading
order now follows that split, instead of routing a reader past five strangers'
handles to reach the author's own links.

Both are "how do I read this?" rather than what the page knows, so they
sit together. Dark reads first because it is what the control is being
offered from, System last because it defers rather than decides.
Switching saves nothing and costs nothing: no reload, and nothing marked,
typed or ticked is touched.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
`prefs.theme` is dark, light or system, defaulting to dark: a reader
whose laptop is in light mode has said something about their laptop, not
about this page, and following the device would move every existing
reader the first time they loaded this. No control yet — the value can
only arrive from storage.
App resolves it and writes it to the document. It is also where a hue
meets the theme: doing that in the lane resolver means every label, chip,
rail and bar gets the readable answer without a component knowing a theme
exists, which is why the colophon moves onto that resolver too.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
The dark tokens re-struck under `[data-theme="light"]`. Nothing sets that
attribute yet, so the app still renders exactly as it did.
Two things could not be tokens. Game hues are data — ours and the
reader's — and every one was picked against a near-black ground, so
`readableHue` darkens them along the same hue until they read on paper,
and returns dark untouched by construction. And the attribute has to be
on the root before React can mount, or a reader who chose light gets a
dark flash on every load, so the shell reads the preference itself.
That leaves the ground colour written in three files that cannot import
each other, which is what the test pins together.

They sat between "Built by" and the two GitHub links, splitting one thought
about who made this and where it lives. Below the links they read as the
tail of that block instead of an interruption in it, and the paragraph that
invites a bug report still comes last, where a reader who has just found a
wrong date is looking.

u/lotus_lunaris, u/Neoragex13 and u/ShiroWaffles, on the same terms as the

Second name on the list, and the first from somewhere other than a fork —
so the doc comment stops calling this a list of forks, and says what the
`handle` field now carries: it renders verbatim, a bare handle meaning
GitHub and `u/` meaning Reddit, rather than a `platform` field nobody would
keep consistent across two entries.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
A public fork of this project worked out several things worth having — a
theme toggle, an archive for finished events — and ideas are not code:
nothing here carries a licence obligation, so this is thanks rather than a
term, and it belongs in the credits rather than in NOTICE with the terms.
Credited by GitHub handle and fork URL, not by name. The commits behind that
fork carry a third name again, and a handle is the one identity that is
verifiable and stable.
Hardcoded, unlike the source and studio credits above it — nothing in the
feed knows a fork exists, so there is nothing to derive it from.

The board's header said "One lane per game" and left it at that; now it
offers the other stacking too, in the same place and the same pill shape
the list's sort control uses — you reach for it while looking at the
board, not in settings.
Merged, there is no lane heading to say whose event a bar is, and hue
alone cannot answer that once every game shares one stack. So each bar
carries its game's short name, and its tooltip carries the full one. A
bar under 96px has no room for a tag and a title both, and a chopped
game name reads as a broken word — those keep the title and say the game
in the tooltip.

In a 20rem column the scrolling strip shows four chips of a thirteen-game
reader's set behind a hairline scrollbar, and a game you cannot see is a
game you will not focus. Past `lg` they wrap instead: the rail is short and
the list beside it is long, so the extra rows cost that column nothing it
was using. On a phone the strip is right and stays.

The detail sheet formatted the stored ISO, so a day-precision end rendered
as 00:00Z — the previous day for every reader west of UTC, and now a
different day from the timer sitting beside it. Both dates come off the
clock instead, which resolves them the same way.
The note under them said the end was "accurate to the day only" and left
it there. It can say where the count actually lands, and should: a reader
deciding whether to log in tonight wants the reset, not a shrug. It still
says this is a reading rather than a time the source printed.
REGION_LABEL moves next to the region table it names, which is also how
the note gets "Europe" rather than the raw id.

One density cannot answer both questions the board is asked. A patch cycle is
six weeks, a login campaign runs for months, and 13px a day is a compromise
between "what am I in the middle of this week?" and "how do the next three
months line up?" that serves neither well.
A pair of controls steps through a ladder of day widths and the choice is
remembered, on the same argument as the view tabs: a reader who has said how
they want to read this should not say it again on the next load.
Two things it had to get right. Zooming holds the middle of the view still —
rescaling around the left edge of a three-month board throws away whatever
they had scrolled to, and re-opening at today would undo the scrolling that
got them there. And the dated ticks thin out as the scale shrinks, because a
week is 42px at the widest setting and the dates would sit on top of each
other; the gridlines stay weekly, since they carry the rhythm rather than the
reading.
The scale is stored as the measurement, not a step number, and read through
`snapDayWidth`. An export written against a different ladder then opens on
something close to what its reader chose, and a corrupt value opens on the
default rather than a board one pixel wide.

Adding a source is our decision, not the reader's. Eleven lanes became
fourteen this week, and for someone who plays two that is not a feature
arriving — it is their calendar filling with events they will never open,
which is the thing the first-run picker exists to prevent.
`knownGames` records every lane a reader has been offered; a lane missing from
it is new to them, so it is recorded and hidden on sight. The games chips in
settings list every lane, on or off, which is where they take one up.
The case that had to be right is the reader who installed before any of this
existed: they have no `knownGames` at all, and reading that as "has been
offered nothing" would switch off every game they already read. Absent means
unrecorded — the first pass records what is already on their screen and
changes nothing else. Lanes they invented are recorded but never hidden;
typing a game in is asking for it.
The decision is a pure function so this is provable rather than watched for.
One real cost, stated in the PRD rather than hidden: a reader whose game
finally arrives is not told, which makes the colophon roadmap matter more.

"Ending soon" described the sort, not the job — and it sat one line above a
sort control whose own option reads "Ending soonest", so the tab and the
ordering looked like the same control said twice. Checklist is what a reader
with four games is doing with it.
The stored id stays "soon". That value is in `prefs.view` on real devices, and
a label is copy: renaming one must never move a reader to the other view.

Two changes to how the board reads.
The window was drawn from the earliest start, so one long-running event — a
standing login campaign can have been going half a year — bought months of
empty calendar that nobody scrolls back through and that pushed every other
bar off to the right. It now floors at two months, a patch cycle and a half:
far enough that a running event's start is usually still on the board, past
the point where the answer changes what anyone does today. A bar older than
the board keeps its faded left edge rather than being redrawn as though it
started there.
The bars themselves were 28px with 4px between them, which read as a stack of
hairlines rather than a schedule. They are 36px now, with more padding, more
air between events, and more between lanes.
`boardWindow` comes out of the component while it is being changed: it
decides what a reader can and cannot see, which is worth a test rather than a
rendering.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
The reader who was asked what good looks like named paimon.moe's timeline,
and the thing ours was missing is what that view never loses: on a wide
window we drew more calendar and nothing that said which day, whose game, or
which event was on screen. The date axis, the lane names and the event names
all scrolled away together — and a six-week bar starts weeks off the left
edge, so its name went with its start date and left a coloured rectangle.
So it is a pane that scrolls in both directions, with the axis stuck to the
top and every name stuck to the left. A name is sticky inside its own bar, so
it can never wander onto an event it does not belong to. The axis gained the
week the schedules are actually written in: a dated tick every Monday and a
brighter rule at each month.
The frozen label column that started this went away again — it stood on the
calendar and ate the names it was meant to keep. Lane names sit on their own
line instead, and "jump to today" sits in the board's header rather than
floating over the dates it sends you back to.

Every screen got the same 672px column, so a desktop reader read a phone page
with two thirds of the window empty — and the one design criticism the release
thread produced was formed from a screenshot.
Past lg the page splits along the line this codebase already draws: what it
tells the reader to do — the next deadlines, tonight's dailies — pins to a
rail on the left and stays there while the lists it shows them scroll beside
it. The footer and the settings panel become columns rather than a long fall
of small grey text. Below that breakpoint nothing moves: the same split puts
the instructions first in one column.
The rail's rule sits on the panel rather than the column. The panel is short
and the list beside it is long, so a full-height divider would spend most of
its length walling off a gap.

`view` was component state, so a reader who preferred the timeline was put
back on the list by every reload — and which view opened at all had been
decided for them twice over: the PRD said calendar, the app shipped the list.
Neither was the reader's answer.
So the first run asks, and the tabs write to `prefs` from then on. The
question ships pre-answered with the list, because a reader cannot choose
between two layouts they have not seen and that is the one that answers "what
expires next" in a look — and each option is drawn rather than described, for
the same reason. The screen says where to change it afterwards, since the tabs
are small text in a corner.
Adds `view` to the prefs key space. Additive and defaulted, so an existing
reader's stored prefs open exactly where they did before.

A reader with two games switched on said the list lost its point at
twenty-one rows and asked for the three closest deadlines up front. One row
was also fragile on its own terms: ticking off the headline event left the
panel pointing at something the reader had no context for.
Three equal panels would be a stat grid, and a reader arrives with one
question — so the shape is one answer at full size and two follow-ups under
it, with no meter, summary or badges to turn the panel into a second copy of
the list below it.

New bawiki parser plus the ba-bawiki-events source, giving the game its
two live and upcoming events at day precision.
It reads the rendered /wiki/Events page, which is the opposite call to the
Fandom source next door and for the same kind of reason: bluearchive.wiki
is Miraheze, whose robots.txt disallows /w/ and /*?action=, so there the
API is the closed route and the page is the surface * is allowed. It
serves our own User-Agent a 200, sets no Content-Signal and no Crawl-delay
for us. The Fandom wiki was declined earlier as a JP archive yielding
nothing live; this is the live source that assessment pointed at.
Three page facts shape the parser, each a way to publish a confidently
wrong date. The schedule is a JP/Global tabber and the Japanese version
runs four to nine months ahead, so only Global is published — the akwiki
hazard. The Global tab's nav button carries the id
tabber-Global_version-label and precedes both panels, so slicing from the
first matching id reads the Japanese schedule while believing it read
ours; the first version of this parser did exactly that and published a
JP-only event. And three tabs on the page are named Global, the schedule
plus Mini-Event and Joint Firing Drill, so the schedule is found by its
Name (EN) header rather than by position, with canParse asserting the same
lookup — a renamed tab or column fails the run instead of emptying the
lane.
The page states no time of day and no timezone anywhere, which is why the
dates are day precision and why ba gets no resetOffsets. It also settles
the five other schedule tables, which do carry a wall clock but name no
zone and mostly do not say which server: reading those as UTC would invent
the fact that matters most, and rounding to a day would not save it,
because a 04:00 local boundary falls either side of UTC midnight depending
on the offset assumed and the start's day is part of the event ID. They
are left unparsed deliberately.
The two-event count is asserted against an independent extraction off the
fixture, and both starts corroborate against the per-event infoboxes
elsewhere on the page — GL 2026-08-04 and GL 2026-09-01, where the JP
reruns those tabs would have given are 2026-04-01 and 2026-05-06.
Three comment counts were already stale before this and are corrected to
what the tree now holds rather than to what it held yesterday.

Nothing a reader marks, types or ticks ever leaves their browser, so there is no
account and no server-side record to look anything up in after a report arrives.
Whatever the form captured is all there will ever be — which is the argument for
structured forms over a blank box, and for the bug form carrying the footer's
"event data last refreshed" line as a prefill. A stale calendar and a genuinely
wrong parse are indistinguishable from outside, eight sources cannot be fetched
from CI at all, and that line is the only thing that separates the two cases.
The feature form states the three constraints up front, because "sync across my
devices" and "have a model read the page" both have settled answers and a reader
deserves them before typing rather than after. It also points source requests at
the assessed-and-declined table: the loudest feedback on the first release was
that the game list is too short, so that is the request that arrives most, and a
wiki that forbids automated access or only archives finished events cannot be
used no matter how often it is asked for.
Blank issues stay enabled. A form that turns someone away loses the report, not
the noise.

The footer only spoke up past the two-day threshold, and then only as a
count of stale sources. A page silent about its own age reads as current,
so it now says when the data last refreshed on every load — absolute date
plus relative age, next to where the warning appears. This is the half of
PRD F7 that was never built.
Where the number comes from is the whole point. `freshness()` in
src/shared/feed.ts takes the newest lastSuccessAt and never generatedAt:
the feed is rebuilt on every deploy whether or not anything was refetched,
so a build stamp would report a calendar as minutes old while its events
came from a fixture captured months ago. A game is also only as fresh as
its oldest source, or Endfield's live wiki would vouch for its stalled
Game8 page. That matters concretely here — eight sources cannot be fetched
from CI at all, so this notice is what stands between a reader and a
confidently stale calendar.
The stale warning now names the lagging games and how far behind each is,
because a count is not something a reader can act on while a name tells
them which source page to check. Two exceptions found by rendering it
against the real feed: past four games it summarises the remainder, and
when every game is behind — what a refresh that stopped running looks like
— it collapses to one sentence rather than ten names repeating one age.

The footer thanks every wiki and every studio the feed touches, but never
said who assembled it. The byline sits with the source-code link, since
that is where someone goes when they want the person rather than the page.
Both personal links carry rel="me" so the site and the profile can verify
each other, and the GitHub mark is now a component because two links use it.

The shell is served cache-first, which is what makes the app work on a
train and also what makes a deploy invisible: a reader with the tab open
— the reader this app is built for — keeps running the bundle they first
loaded, so a new game or a corrected date reaches their device and sits
there with nothing saying why the page looks unchanged. An old app shown
as current is the same failure as old events shown as current.
So the worker now installs quietly and waits instead of calling
skipWaiting(), the page notices it waiting and says so, and the reader's
tap sends the skip-waiting message and reloads on controllerchange. The
app never reloads itself: someone may be mid-way through typing in one of
their own events, and the notice says what a reload costs (their place on
the page) and what it does not (marks and notes live in localStorage).
Detection is derived rather than remembered. build:static grew into a
script that stamps sw.js with a hash of the built shell, because the
browser only offers a worker whose bytes differ, and the predecessor —
a hand-bumped CACHE_VERSION — had already been forgotten once. The feed
is deliberately not part of that hash: it changes twice a day, needs no
reload, and announcing it would teach readers to dismiss the notice
unread. The cache name stays put for the same reason a per-build one
would be wrong — it holds the feed an offline reader is reading.
A first install is not an update and stays silent.

The shell is served cache-first and CACHE_VERSION had sat at v1 through four
commits that changed main.js, so a returning reader kept the old bundle: none of
the new UI reached them and the page looked simply unchanged. sw.js says to bump
it on any shell change and I did not.
Also tells the reader why the game list holds only tracked games when they have
none of their own yet — the list is nine games we cover with no hint that a game
of theirs has to exist before an event can be filed under it.

Someone filling this form in by hand is usually doing it because the game isn't
tracked, so making them scroll past nine that are gets the common case
backwards. The default selection follows the top of the list rather than staying
on whatever the feed happened to return first.
The sort groups and does not reshuffle: tracked games keep their feed order
behind the reader's own.

The interface for PRD F13. A game (name and lane colour) and events against it,
or against a tracked game when a source missed one, managed from the settings
panel and from the event's own detail sheet.
Two things the forms are careful about:
- "I don't know when it ends" is an offered answer, not a blank field. A
mandatory end date would push the reader into inventing one, which is the
failure the parsers are forbidden from committing — it would just be the
reader committing it instead. An unknown end behaves as it does for a scraped
event: no countdown, no checklist.
- A hand-entered date is never dressed up as a source's. The row carries a
"yours" chip, the sheet says so under the title, and the Source link is absent
rather than dead.
Deleting a game is refused while it still holds events, and says how many.
Deleting an event leaves the marks and ticks attached to it alone.

The data layer for PRD F13, with no UI and no behaviour change yet.
src/shared/custom.ts defines the two key spaces, their schemas, and the
projection into what the views read. Two properties are the point of it:
- A reader's event id is random, not derived from their title. They can type a
scraped event's exact name and date, which under ${game}:${slug}:${date} is a
byte-identical key — one completion mark and one streak silently shared by two
events. Randomness also means renaming their own event never moves its id.
- A reader's event carries no sourceUrl, so a hand-entered date can never be
attributed to a source, and claims no region split, because they entered one
instant and inventing three would fabricate two of them.
The rest is widening what was GameId-shaped into a lane that may be one of
theirs: clockFor takes the boundary fields structurally so their events run on
the identical countdown rather than a second one, day keys fall back to the
regional default for a lane with no server map, and gameMeta becomes a context
resolver so metaFor stays pure and total — a lane can outlive its game when an
import carries an event whose game did not come with it.

Dailiness is guessed from the source's wording, which is a weak signal
and wrong in both directions. Guessing on a reader's behalf and hoping
they notice is the wrong default for a checklist they may build a streak
on, so `detectDaily` now starts false and the control carries an
Experimental tag saying what it does and doesn't know.
The default applies to new readers only — a stored `prefs` keeps its
value, because switching it off under someone who has been ticking
auto-detected checklists would pull those chips out of the strip with no
explanation. Nothing is deleted either way.

The hue on an unticked chip was competing with the tick for attention.
It only needs to say which game the job belongs to; how far you've got is
the tick's answer, and ticking one should read as a jump rather than a
nudge.
Border 34% → 20%, wash 5% → 3%, check 0.35 → 0.25. Done is unchanged.

Switching games on and off says which games you play, and is set once.
It's the wrong tool for what a player of four games does while reading —
clear one game, move to the next — which cost two taps per game and left
the settings panel no longer describing what they play.
Focus is a lens over that filter, not a second filter: a bar at the top,
above everything it narrows, with a "next game" control that steps
through and ends by returning to all. It never touches hiddenGames, and
a focus on a game since switched off is ignored rather than obeyed, so
it can't strand you on a blank page whose cause is elsewhere. Each chip
carries that game's outstanding count, so a game with nothing waiting
says so before you visit it.

The button advanced one step round the untouched → doing → done cycle,
so pressing "Mark done" on a fresh event produced "doing it" and needed
a second press. Worse, the press after "done" cleared the status
outright rather than undoing anything.
Three states need three targets — that is the control directly above it.
This one is the commit, so it sets done and back. cycleStatus had no
other caller and is gone.

Two symptoms of one bug. The "next to expire" headline counted events
the reader had marked done or ignored, and the dailies strip kept a
tickable chip for a repeating event they had already finished.
showCompleted and showIgnored decide what a reader can *look at*. The
headline and the strip are *instructions*, so they answer a different
question — what is still on your plate — and both now go through one
`outstanding` lens.
Also fixes a second bug in the same line: `next` took the head of the
list, which under "doing first" sorting is whatever you're partway
through, not the soonest deadline. It reads the minimum now.

The one moment in this app that is unambiguously good news, and it read
the same as any other tick.
Fires only on a tick that completes the set — the list also shortens when
the reader filters, and a burst there would be congratulating them for
filtering. Nothing on mount either, so arriving at an already-finished
day is not treated as having just finished it.
Decorative, aria-hidden and under a second; the "All done" text beside it
is what a screen reader gets. Fully off under prefers-reduced-motion
rather than merely reduced — nothing here carries meaning, so the honest
reduced version is nothing at all.

The hue only appeared on completion, so the half of the strip a reader
actually scans — the unfinished half — was a row of identical grey pills
with nothing to say which game each belonged to.
Soft border and wash while outstanding, full strength once ticked. Done
is still legible without the colour: the tick, the stronger border and
the deeper wash all carry it.
