Three pieces of code answered "what hour is it" for the salutation. The
snapshot builder computed a `greetingHour` in the user's zone and put it on
the payload so clients would not have to; no client ever read it. The
insights hero derived one through the shared `hourInTz`. The dashboard header
derived one through a local helper that fell back to the DEVICE clock
whenever the runtime could not resolve the configured zone, which is what
happens to an IANA entry the browser's data does not yet carry. At one
instant, for one account, those three returned 20, 21 and 05.
Keep the client end and drop the server one. The hour is a clock reading, not
a fact about the record, and the snapshot body serves stale for up to an hour
past its fresh TTL, so a stored hour can name a salutation the clock has left
behind. What the server IS authoritative for is the zone, and that already
travels on the same payload and is already what both surfaces read.
Both greetings now share `hourInTz`, so an unresolvable zone falls back to the
same default the rest of the app uses instead of to the device. The header's
private helper is gone; it had no other caller.
Two tests pinned the old shape by asserting the payload carried an hour.
Inverted rather than deleted: the payload must now be shown NOT to carry one,
which is the property that was missing when the field went unread for months.
`greetingHour` leaves the response contract, so a native client decoding it as
required needs the field made optional or dropped.
- The daily Coach sweep now charges each ignored day against
surfaceCount and auto-dismisses at three — the cap the schema comment
promised since v1.22 but nothing enforced.
- The welcome gate compares the stored disclaimer acknowledgment
version against the current one, so revised disclaimer text
re-prompts; /api/auth/me carries the version for the client.
- slope90 and anomalyCount leave the analytics wire: slope90 had no
reader anywhere (computed on every request, in SQL twice), and the
slim path could never compute anomalyCount (it always reported 0).
anomalyCount stays as an in-process field on summarize() for the
insights feature builder, which is its only real consumer.
The reminder worker becomes a registry over twelve queue modules cut
along the existing test structure, and the dashboard page sheds its
quick-entry sheets, header and range logic into components — same
behaviour, pinned by the existing suites.
