Infinity Nikki's wiki prints "There are no Events in this category" between versions, and the refresh runner has honoured that since 2026-09-03 — it stores the empty parse as the source's real answer rather than letting a quiet lane reach the broken tier. The feed build never asked, so the same page arrived at CI as parsedCount 0, indistinguishable from a parser that has stopped reading a redesigned page, and brokenSources failed every build while every refresh stayed green. The runner's verdict cannot travel on its own: only a parser has seen the page, and by the time brokenSources runs there is nothing left but the feed. So the fact rides on SourceHealth, defaulted so an older feed the service worker cached keeps validating and reads as the strict answer. Both ends now ask it the same way — of an empty parse only, from the page's own words only — because a redesign yields zero rows too, and excusing that is the silently emptied calendar the gate exists for. The rule sits in a module rather than in build-feed.ts, which writes public/ and so runs a build if a test imports it. That is how the two ends drifted apart with nothing to catch it.

Data Model
src/shared/schema.ts is the single source of truth. TypeScript types are derived with
z.infer<> — never hand-write an interface that duplicates a schema.
The Event
import { z } from "zod";
export const GameId = z.enum([
"genshin", "hsr", "zzz", "wuwa", "arknights", "endfield", "nte", "nikki", "p5x", "r1999",
"ba", "fgo", "holodori", "gfl2", "stellasora", "czn", "uma", "nikke", "hi3",
]);
export const EventType = z.enum([
"banner", // limited character/weapon rate-up
"story", // main or side story chapter, limited-time
"rerun", // returning event
"challenge", // combat/endgame cycle (Abyss, Memory of Chaos, ...)
"login", // login rewards / check-in
"shop", // limited shop or exchange window
"maintenance", // server downtime
"other",
]);
export const Region = z.enum(["asia", "america", "europe"]);
/** How much we actually know about a boundary timestamp. */
export const Precision = z.enum([
"exact", // sourced to the minute
"day", // date known, time-of-day inferred from the game's reset
"unknown", // genuinely not announced — endsAt is null
]);

Field notes that matter
endsAt: null is a first-class state, not an error. Many events are announced with "duration
TBD" or "until the next version update". The correct representation is endsAt: null with
endPrecision: "unknown". The extractor is instructed to produce this and the UI renders it
distinctly (PRD F1). Filling in a plausible date instead is the single worst bug this codebase can
ship.
regionScoped + regionEnds. Character banners end at one global instant — regionScoped: false, regionEnds: null. Story and login events end at each region's daily reset — regionScoped: true, with regionEnds carrying the three resolved UTC instants. The client picks one using the
user's stored region (PRD F5). Collapsing these into a single timestamp loses up to 13 hours of
accuracy and will make the countdown wrong for two thirds of users.
startPrecision / endPrecision, and what 00:00Z means. A source that prints a calendar date
and no time of day gets "day" precision, and the instant stored alongside it is that date at
00:00Z. That timestamp is a placeholder for "somewhere in this day", not a claim that the day
begins at UTC midnight — the parser has declined to invent a time, exactly as it declines to
invent a date. Nothing downstream may read it as an instant: clockFor in src/shared/time.ts
resolves a day-precision boundary to the reset that opens that game-day on the reader's server
(dayStartMs), which is the same clock daily.ts keys every tick by, and the countdown and the
detail sheet both run off that. Read literally instead, the stored value expires an event up to nine
hours early — the whole of Asia and Europe — which is how a Wuthering Waves event dated "August 19"
was called over three hours before the game ended it.
Two boundaries are exempt, for the same reason in both directions. A regionEnds value is taken
verbatim: that map only exists because a source published a timer per server, so it is already the
instant, and re-anchoring it would throw a stated fact away. And an event the reader typed in
(extractionMethod: "manual") is taken verbatim too: readerInstant resolved it to the instant
they meant, in their own timezone, when they entered it.
confidence is assigned by the parser and adjusted during merge and reconciliation — see
docs/INGESTION.md § Scoring. It records how firmly the sources pinned the event down.
status: "delisted" means the event stopped appearing at its source. It is never deleted,
because a source outage would otherwise silently empty the calendar. Delisted events are excluded
from the API feed but retained for debugging and for the case where a source flickers.
ID stability — read before changing
`${game}:${slugify(title)}:${startsAt.slice(0, 10)}`
→ "genshin:windblume-festival:2026-03-14"
Event IDs are the localStorage keys for completion state. Changing the scheme orphans every completion mark every user has ever made, silently, with no error and no way to recover it server-side (the server never had the data). If the scheme must change, ship a client-side migration that reads the old keys and remaps them, and keep that migration for at least a year.
The date suffix disambiguates reruns of the same event. Title is slugified from the source's title, so a wiki renaming an event creates a new ID — reconciliation detects this as a near-match (same game, overlapping dates, high title similarity) and treats it as an update rather than a new event, preserving the original ID.

Client-side storage
Namespaced, versioned, and small. Nothing here ever goes to the server.
"gacha-tracker:v1:progress" // { [eventId]: { status?, effort?, note?, at } }
"gacha-tracker:v1:daily" // { [id]: { days: ["2026-08-15", ...], at } }
"gacha-tracker:v1:ignored" // { [eventId]: { at } } — "stop showing me this"
"gacha-tracker:v1:prefs" // { region, hiddenGames[], knownGames[]?, gameOrder[]?,
// focusGame, sort, view,
// timelineDayWidth, timelineGroup, showUpcoming,
// timelineSplitUpcoming, detectDaily, showChores,
// showCompleted, showIgnored, theme, regionConfirmed,
// onboarded }
// timelineDayWidth is px per day on the board, stored as the
// measurement rather than a step number and read through
// snapDayWidth — so a value from an older ladder still opens
// on something renderable.
// timelineGroup is "game" (a lane each) or "ending" (every game
// in one deadline queue). Defaults to "game", so shipping it
// moved nobody's board; see PRD F1.
// showUpcoming shows events that have not started yet, in
// BOTH views — the board plots them, the checklist keeps its
// "Not started yet" section. Defaults to false; set from
// settings alongside showCompleted / showIgnored, which is the
// same question. See PRD F1.
// It was named timelineUpcoming while it governed the board
// alone. `adoptRenamed` in usePrefs.ts carries a stored old
// value across on load — nothing is lost by dropping it, since
// this is one blob under one key rather than a key space, but
// resetting a reader's answer for them is not nothing either.
// A stored new name always wins, so it cannot overwrite a
// fresher answer with a stale one.
// timelineSplitUpcoming keeps those events in their own block
// under a "Not started yet" heading (true, the default) or puts
// them in one deadline order with the running ones (false).
// The board only: the checklist splits them into a section of
// its own either way. Read only when showUpcoming is on, but
// stored regardless, so switching that back on restores the
// answer given. PRD F1.
// knownGames is every lane the reader has been offered. Absent
// means unrecorded, not "offered nothing" — see PRD F8; a lane
// missing from it is new to them and arrives switched off.
// gameOrder is the order the reader put their games in, and it
// governs every surface that lists a game: the focus bar, the
// dailies strip, the settings list and the timeline's lanes.
// Absent means they have never placed one — NOT an empty order
// — and `orderGames` then sorts alphabetically by name, which
// is what the first-run picker does. The same distinction
// knownGames draws, for the same reason: every install
// predating the field is in that state. A lane it does not
// name trails the ones it does, so a game we add later never
// lands in the middle of a hand-made order, and a lane that
// has left the feed keeps its slot rather than being pruned —
// a source that comes back returns where the reader put it.
// Reset writes the field away rather than storing []. PRD F16.
// theme is "dark" | "light" | "system", defaulting to dark — see
// PRD F15. It is read by the app *and* by a pre-paint script in
// index.html, which is the only thing outside the client bundle
// that touches a key in this space.
"gacha-tracker:v1:completions" // SUPERSEDED — read once to migrate, never written
progress is everything the reader says about an event themselves:
| Field | Values | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
status |
"doing" | "done" | absent |
Where they are with it |
effort |
"quick" | "short" | "long" | "grind" | absent |
How much work they reckon it is |
note |
free text | Anything worth remembering |
daily |
true | false | absent |
Whether it repeats daily, overruling detection |
An entry with none of the three set is deleted rather than kept, so the store stays a set of things the reader actually said something about.
effort is load-bearing, not decorative. Combined with the time remaining it answers "can I
still finish this?" — the same two days is comfortable for a quick event and hopeless for a
grind. See src/shared/effort.ts; the runway heuristic assumes about an hour of play a day, is
stated as a guess in the UI, and never hides or reorders anything.
An event with no recorded effort never gets a warning. Inferring an estimate in order to warn about it would be fabricating the reader's own input.
Ignores stay in a separate store because they mean something different: a done event is dimmed and still counted, an ignored one disappears from both views.
Daily checklists
Some events are not one job with a deadline but twenty small jobs on twenty separate deadlines, and
a missed day is gone whatever you do afterwards. daily records which game-days the reader ticked
off, keyed by:
- an event ID, for a repeating event in the feed (
src/shared/daily.ts§isDaily), or dailies:<game>, the standing per-game chore — commissions, sanity, daily training. No source publishes these, so they are a fixed client-side list, never feed data. The two-segment shape cannot collide with an event ID, which is alwaysgame:slug:date.
Day keys are YYYY-MM-DD in game-day space, not UTC: gacha servers roll the day at 04:00 local
server time, so a player finishing at 02:00 is still on the previous day's dailies, and the key is
computed against the reader's chosen region (RESET_HOUR_LOCAL, dayKey). Keys sort
lexicographically, which is what "how many days are left" and streak counting rely on.
A day already gone is still writable, and catchUpDays decides how far back. People play at
midnight and tick at breakfast; a log that only accepts today goes wrong on its first bad evening.
dailyDays already answers this for an event whose end was published, because the whole run is
known — the two cases it cannot answer are a dailies:<game> chore, which has no start or end
because it is a routine, and an event with endsAt: null, where it returns null. catchUpDays
answers both with the last CATCH_UP_DAYS (14) game-days, clipped at an event's start where there is
one and never extending past today: a tick claims you did it, and nobody can have done tomorrow.
That window bounds display and never storage. A tick older than it stays in daily, keeps
counting toward streakOf and dailySummary, and is simply not drawn — the same rule as a tick
outside the window the feed now claims. Nothing prunes the log against either window, because a
fortnight's streak exists on that device and nowhere else.
Not every game has a server per region. GameMeta.resetOffsets records the regions where a
game's server clock differs from REGION_RESET_UTC_OFFSET. Endfield is the case this exists for: it
has two server groups rather than three, and Europe is served off the Americas machine on a fixed
UTC-5, so a European player's reset is 09:00 UTC — six hours after the HoYoverse/Kuro pattern.
Every day-key function takes an optional game for this reason, and anything reading or writing a
tick must pass it: a write under one clock and a read under another puts the tick on a day the
reader cannot see.
| Game | Reset (server local) | Server offset | Reset (UTC) | Copenhagen, summer / winter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Genshin, Star Rail, ZZZ, Wuwa, NTE | 04:00 | region (EU = UTC+1) | 03:00 | 05:00 / 04:00 |
| Infinity Nikki, P5X, Blue Archive | 04:00 | region (assumed) | 03:00 | 05:00 / 04:00 |
| Arknights, all regions | 04:00 | UTC-7 (one Global server) | 11:00 | 13:00 / 12:00 |
| Endfield, Europe | 04:00 | UTC-5 (on the Americas server) | 09:00 | 11:00 / 10:00 |
| Endfield, Asia / Americas | 04:00 | regional default | 20:00 / 09:00 | — |
| Reverse: 1999, all regions | 05:00 | UTC-5 (one global server) | 10:00 | 12:00 / 11:00 |
| hololive Dreams, all regions | 04:00 | UTC+9 (one worldwide server) | 19:00 | 21:00 / 20:00 |
Arknights and hololive Dreams are the games whose override covers all three regions, and neither
is a blanket per-game offset of the kind this section warns about below: both genuinely run a single
worldwide server for every region we model. Arknights' offset is read off the source rather than
assumed — every ending event on arknights.wiki.gg carries an exact end of 10:59:59Z, which is
03:59:59 at UTC-7, one second before a 04:00 reset.
hololive Dreams is read the same way and is the cleaner case of the two, because the source states
its zone outright: every boundary on holodori.wiki carries (JST), the game launched worldwide
simultaneously on one service, and Training Support Missions ends at 3:59AM JST — one minute
before a 04:00 local reset. Only the offset is overridden; the hour is the default. It also cost
nothing to add, which is the point worth carrying to the next game: an override that arrives with
the game moves nobody, while the same override added a year later re-labels every tick already
logged under the old clock. Get it right at introduction or accept a migration.
Nikke is the third game to earn one from the source rather than from habit, after Arknights and
Reverse: 1999, and it earns resetHourLocal too: every schedule column on its wiki is headed
Start(UTC+9) / End(UTC+9), and the rows show where the day turns — a story event ends at
04:59:59 and the pickup banner replacing it starts at 05:00:00, one second later. So UTC+9 for every
region, rolling at 05:00 rather than 04:00. It shipped in the same commit as the game, which costs
nothing while no reader has a day key for it.
Note also that nikke and nikki are one letter apart and are different games — Goddess of Victory:
Nikke and Infinity Nikki. Both are the first segment of every completion key their game will ever
have, so a typo in either direction is silent data loss for real readers.
Infinity Nikki's source changed on 2026-08-19 and its silence changed shape with it: the Fandom wiki states a wall clock on every boundary and no zone for it, so there is still nothing to read a server map off — the clock is discarded at ingest and only the printed day is published. An offset invented here would move real readers' day keys.
Infinity Nikki, P5X, Blue Archive, Chaos Zero Nightmare and Umamusume carry no resetOffsets
entry, so they take the regional default. That is an assumption, not a verified server map — none
of those sources states one. Two of the 2026-08-19 additions are worth separating out, because they
are silent for different reasons and neither is the usual one:
- Girls' Frontline 2 states an exact UTC instant on every boundary, so the data is there and still settles nothing: its EN events end at 22:59 (33 of them), 08:59 (11) and 02:59 (5). Arknights and Reverse: 1999 each earned an override from a single boundary the whole page agreed on; three of them is a patch window, not a reset hour.
- Stella Sora states an offset outright —
-07:00— and that is precisely why it gets no entry.-07:00is US Pacific in summer and-08:00in winter, so one fixed number is wrong for half the year in either direction. This is the Fate/Grand Order gap, arriving through a source that looks like it answered the question.
Blue Archive is the case where the assumption is most likely wrong and still the right entry: the
game does run one worldwide server, but bluearchive.wiki states no time of day and no timezone
anywhere on the page, so there is no offset to read off it. Confirm these against the games before
relying on them, and note that adding an override later re-labels the game-day of ticks readers have
already logged, which is the change this table warns about below.
Reverse: 1999 is the one game that rolls on a different hour, and it needs its own field rather
than a bent offset. It runs a single global server on UTC-5 and resets at 05:00, so its day rolls
at 10:00 UTC. resetOffsets alone cannot say that: landing 10:00 UTC through the offset would mean
claiming a UTC-6 server, which is a lie every other reader of serverOffsetUtc would inherit. So
GameMeta.resetHourLocal overrides RESET_HOUR_LOCAL per game, and is absent — meaning 04:00 — for
everything else, which is why introducing it moved no existing day key. Both facts come off the
source: all 154 rows of the wiki's event list state (UTC-5), and every one runs 05:00 → 04:59, an
event ending one minute before the reset the next one starts on.
These server offsets are fixed and do not observe DST, so the reader's local reset time moves by an hour across the European clock change while the UTC instant stays put.
The override is deliberately per region, not per game. A blanket per-game offset is the wrong shape: it drags the regions that do have their own server onto somebody else's clock, moving day keys for readers who never had the bug. List only the regions that actually differ.
Changing a value in that table is a data change, not a constant change: it re-labels the game-day some already-logged ticks fall in, for readers in that region. Two consequences to check before shipping one, both of which are invisible at runtime:
- A tick logged inside the shifted window reads as the adjacent day, which can show as a one-day break in a streak. Recoverable — past days stay editable.
- If the shift moves a window's boundary, a day can drop out of
dailyDaysentirely. A day that is not indailyDaysrenders no pip, so a tick on it is unreachable: not deleted, but with no UI path back to it and nothing server-side to recover from. Check the real fixture windows for the affected game and region before changing an offset.
Three rules this store keeps, for the same reason the rest of the client does — nothing else holds a copy:
- A tick is never removed except by the reader. Ticks that fall outside the window the feed now claims still count; a source quietly moving a date must not erase a fortnight's streak.
- An unannounced end yields no checklist, not a checklist of guessed length.
dailyDaysreturns null whenendsAtis null, and the UI says how many days are ticked instead of how many are left. - Past days stay editable. People log in and tick up later, and a checklist that cannot be corrected stops being trusted after the first mistake.
Dailiness is derived from the published event — type: "login", or wording like "daily",
"check-in", "7-day" in the title or summary — and never from a game's habits or an event's length.
It adds no schema field, so nothing about the feed contract or the event ID changes.
The reader overrules detection, per event and globally. progress.daily records their answer
for one event and wins outright (resolveDaily); absent means they have not said, so detection
stands. prefs.detectDaily switches the guessing off altogether, leaving only events they marked
themselves — it silences detection rather than deleting anything, so every mark and every logged day
survives and switching it back on restores exactly what was there.
Detection is off by default and labelled experimental in the UI. Wording is a weak signal and it
is wrong in both directions, so a new reader starts with only the standing dailies:<game> chores
and whatever they mark themselves; opting in is one checkbox. The default applies to new readers
only — a stored prefs keeps whatever value it has, because turning it off under a reader who has
been ticking auto-detected checklists would pull those chips out of the strip with no explanation.
An override that merely
agrees with detection is not stored (dailyOverride) — freezing today's guess into their data
would stop a later parser improvement from ever reaching that event. This is the only field in
progress that changes what the app shows rather than recording what the reader did, which is
why it lives beside their other notes rather than in the feed.
Reader-authored key spaces
PRD F13 lets a reader define their own game and enter their own events. Those records get their own ID spaces, and the reason is the one this document keeps making:
mygame:<slug> a game the reader defined "mygame:limbus-company"
myevent:<random> an event the reader entered "myevent:k3f9qa2m"
A reader's event is never minted as ${game}:${slug}:${date}. That space is derived from source
titles, and a reader can type a title identical to a scraped one — same game, same start date, same
slug, same key. Two records under one key means one completion mark, one note and one streak
silently belong to both, and the collision is invisible until someone notices their progress moving
on its own. A random suffix makes that impossible rather than unlikely.
The randomness buys a second property worth keeping: renaming your own event does not move its ID. A feed event's ID follows its source title, so a wiki renaming an event mints a new ID and reconciliation has to recognise the near-match to preserve marks. A reader's event has no source to follow, so its ID is assigned once at creation and never derived from anything they can edit.
Three first segments are now reserved and none of them may ever become a GameId: dailies,
mygame, myevent. A test asserts this against GameId.options, because the day that stops being
true is the day two key spaces merge silently.
"gacha-tracker:v1:customGames" // { [id]: { id, name, hue, at } }
"gacha-tracker:v1:customEvents" // { [id]: { id, game, title, type, summary,
// startsAt, startPrecision,
// endsAt, endPrecision, at, updatedAt } }
Reader-authored events reuse progress, daily and ignored unchanged, keyed by their myevent:
id — everything the reader can say about a scraped event they can say about their own, with no
second set of stores to keep in sync.
Field rules mirror the feed's, because the reader deserves the same guarantees the parsers are held to:
| Rule | Why |
|---|---|
endsAt null pairs with endPrecision: "unknown" |
The same invariant GachaEvent enforces. "I don't know when this ends" is a supported answer for a reader too, and a required one — otherwise entering an unannounced event forces them to invent a date |
A date with no time is "day" precision, a date with one is "exact" |
So the UI's existing "accurate to the day only" note is honest about their input as well. Their day-precision boundary is still their instant, though — readerInstant puts a start at 00:00 and an end at 23:59:59 in their own timezone, so unlike a parser's placeholder it is never re-anchored to a server reset |
endsAt must be after startsAt |
A backwards interval is a typo whoever made it |
hue must match #rrggbb |
It reaches a style attribute, and an imported file is not necessarily one the reader wrote |
regionScoped is always false |
They entered one instant, not a per-region map. Claiming otherwise would fabricate three timestamps out of one |
There is deliberately no dailyTasks for a custom game, so it contributes no standing
dailies:<game> chore. That list is the routine every player of a tracked game recognises; asking a
reader to invent one is a form to fill in for a reminder they already have. Their events can still be
marked as repeating, per event, like any other.
Occurrence ids
A reader's event may carry a repeat rule. The rule is what is stored; its occurrences are derived on read and never written.
myevent:<token> the rule, as stored
myevent:<token>#YYYY-MM-DD one occurrence, derived
The suffix is the occurrence's own start day, read in the reader's local
timezone — the same reading readerInstant wrote it with and fields() shows
back. # is outside [a-z0-9] and therefore outside CustomEventId, so an
occurrence id cannot be written into customEvents and cannot survive an
import; validRecords drops it. That is the guardrail, and
test/recurrence.test.ts pins it in both directions.
Marks, ignores, progress and daily ticks key off the whole string, so each occurrence carries its own completion and its own streak.
Rescheduling a rule strands its marks. Moving the anchor start or the
interval re-keys every occurrence; the marks under the old ids stay in
localStorage and stop being reachable. This is not migrated, for the reason
removeEvent does not cascade and useMarkSet.merge never removes — nothing
else holds a copy, so a silent rewrite is unrecoverable. The edit form counts
what will be stranded and says so first. Renaming a rule costs nothing: the
token is random.
Deleting. Removing your own event leaves any marks and logged days behind rather than reaching into three other stores on a single tap; they are inert, and the alternative is a misclick that deletes a streak. Removing a game that still has events is refused and says how many, rather than cascading.
Migration from completions
completions used membership to mean "done", which cannot express "started". progress replaces it
and is seeded from it once, on first load, mapping each entry to status: "done".
The old key is never written to and never deleted. Someone who last opened the app six months ago still has their marks under it, these live only in the browser, and nothing else holds a copy to restore from. Exports produced before the change are still accepted on import and mapped forward the same way.
Offline caching is the service worker's job, not localStorage's — it caches the feed response itself, so there is no second copy of the events to keep in sync.
The v1 segment is the migration hook. On boot, the client checks for keys at older versions and
migrates them forward before reading. Never delete an old-version key until the migration has
shipped and run — a user who has not opened the app in six months still has their data under the
old key.

customGames and customEvents are additive keys, so a v1 export written before F13 simply lacks
them — not an error, just a file from a device that had none. They merge by id like everything else,
and because an event and the game it belongs to travel in the same file, an import never lands an
event whose lane is missing.
Import merges every set: a mark present in either the file or the current device survives, and
import never removes one. daily merges as a union of days per ID — every day either side
recorded is a day the reader actually played.
Which copy wins a conflict differs by store, and the difference is the shape of the data. For
ignored (and the legacy completions) the earlier mark wins: at records when the reader made
it, membership in the set is the whole fact, and the oldest timestamp is the truest answer to when
they said it. For progress the later record wins, because there the record is the data — a
status, an effort, a note, whether it repeats — and at is when one of those last changed. Keeping
the earlier copy there discards every edit made after it, in both directions an import happens in:
restoring a backup taken before an evening's work would roll that evening back, and importing an old
file onto a device with newer progress would roll the device back. Taking the maximum of the two
timestamps keeps the merge order-independent and idempotent either way, and removes nothing.
mergeProgress is pure and test/progress.test.ts pins it. An export written before daily checklists existed
simply has no daily key, which is not an error. Losing a user's marks to a bad import is unrecoverable, so the merge is
deliberately one-directional. A file whose format is unrecognised is refused outright rather than
partly applied.
Schema versioning
/api/events responses carry { schemaVersion: 1, generatedAt, events: [...], sources: [...] }.
The client refuses to render a schemaVersion it does not know and shows a "refresh the page"
prompt instead of guessing at unfamiliar fields. Additive fields do not bump the version; removing
or retyping a field does.
sources is a SourceHealth per registered source (src/shared/feed.ts), and it is what the
footer's freshness line and CI's build gate both read. Three of its fields describe one source's
last document and only make sense together: eventCount is what it contributed after expired events
were dropped, parsedCount is what the same bytes yield when parsed as of their own capture date,
and statesNoEvents says the page itself declared it currently lists none. That triple is what
separates a parser that has stopped reading a redesigned page (a fault) from one whose events have
all since ended, and from a game between versions (neither) — see docs/INGESTION.md § Stage 1.
Every field added here is defaulted, and that is a rule rather than a habit. The service worker
serves the last feed it downloaded, so a required field fails validation on every cached feed and
takes the offline promise down with it. A default must also be the strict reading of silence:
parsedCount defaults to null — an older feed never recorded the figure, which is an absence of
information and not evidence of health — and statesNoEvents to false, because a feed built
before the field existed never asked the page and cannot be read as having got an answer.
