The journey now writes two medications through the real routes (one with
a start date and its course, one known only by an intake) and asserts
each is drawn on exactly one row; carries an open day from /timeline to
/labs and back after folding it; hovers and focuses a value point and
checks the card names that line alone and stays inside the chart; and
measures the page at 1280, 1440 and 1920 px, with and without the docked
day: no sideways scroll, and no height past the content beyond the
shell's own padding. Expanding all of a day's values scrolls the panel
and leaves the page height as it was. The "Open <day>" link the bar no
longer has is asserted absent; a chip opens the day instead.
Label texts carry their lane under their own attribute, so a lane
selector matches the lane and not its names.
A medication arrived as up to four kinds of item (its own span, its
courses, its dose changes, its pauses) and was drawn item by item, so a
medication with a course read as two bars on two rows. Every item of one
medication now carries the medication's id as `group`, and the lane draws
one row per group: the courses are the stretches it was taken, each dose
change cuts them into pieces labelled with their dose, and a pause is a
gap in the same bar. The selection bar and the phone chronicle list one
entry per medication with the dose in the text.
The value series cap of six is gone. The response carries
`availableSeries`, every series the record can show, and the picker is
one compact "Values (n)" button whose menu lists them. Past the fifth
line the five data colours repeat; every line is named at its left.
Choosing a range opens a popover anchored to the "Range" segment (a sheet
on a phone) with "Apply", so the chart no longer moves; the URL keeps the
range as before. The selection bar sits on the card under a hairline
instead of a grey box, the legend explains the dashed stroke and the
hollow point, and no timeline text joins its parts with a middle dot or
calls an open span "ongoing".
Beside All, 12 months and 3 months the timeline takes a range of the
person's own choosing, from and to, through the app's date field. Each
change is clamped softly: never past today, never before the record's
first entry, never inverted, never longer than fifteen years. On a phone,
where the chronicle has no zoom control, a range button opens the same
fields with a way back to the whole record. A range with nothing in it
keeps its fields instead of the empty-record notice.
The zoom and the range live in the URL (zoom, from, to), so Back and a
bookmark return to them; a parameter that does not read falls back to
All. The API accepts zoom=range with both ends, at most fifteen years,
and picks the bucket by its length: quarters from two years, months from
120 days, weeks from 42 days and single days below, a new day bucket
whose dashed bridge spans at most three missing days. A range borrows
the grid and the keyboard steps of the fixed zoom nearest its length.
The selection bar heads a day bucket with that day.
Each value line takes the colour its type carries in the measurement
list (a --chart-N token); where two chosen lines would share one, or a
type has none, the later line in the menu's order takes the first free
data token, and a sixth line with none left falls back to the
foreground. The swatch beside the name, the line, the dashed bridge,
filled and hollow points and a ring on the selected bucket all inherit
one colour from their group. The menu, the selection bar and the phone
chronicle mark each value with the same dot. The colour map moves to an
icon-free module so the timeline does not pull the list's icons.
The selection bar is a cross-section of one bucket and now says which:
its head names the quarter, month or week in full, its entries are the
ones that touch that bucket, and each mean keeps its readings count.
Values go through the day view's formatter, so sleep reads as a
duration and the unit preference applies; the server sends canonical
units, which the old formatter took for display units. Before anyone
picks a day the bar opens on the newest bucket it has something for in
the requested window (documents, which it never lists, no longer count),
and a short line says how to pick another.
Every bucket with a reading gets its point; one with fewer than three
readings is drawn hollow. A short gap (one quarter, two months, four
weeks) is bridged with a dashed stroke between the two real points; a
longer one leaves the line open. The selection bar and the value table
for screen readers name each bucket's readings and say "no value" where
there is none. The phone chronicle names each bucket once, at its newest
month. The value menu takes up to six lines. The legend's causality line
is gone with its keys in all seven bundles.
The opt-in timeline module gets its page (#613). At 768 px and up the
record's lanes (life, conditions, allergies, medications, vaccinations,
doctor and procedures, labs, documents) are drawn in one SVG on a shared
time axis, with a year, month or week grid, open periods ending in an
arrow, a dashed lead-in where a start is unknown, dose marks and pauses on
the medication they belong to, a Today line and a selection line. Up to
three neutral value lines run below as monthly means, chosen in a menu.
Recharts stays for every value chart; this surface is plain SVG like the
heatmaps.
All geometry is pure (timeline-geometry.ts): window, scale, row packing
and label placement through one occupancy map, so no label overlaps
another label or a bar, none runs past the card edge, and labels that do
not fit are left out rather than squeezed. The width comes from a
ResizeObserver, so a docked day panel re-runs the layout.
The bar under the chart names the selected month's entries as chips, the
month's means and "Open 3 Jan.", which puts ?day= in the URL for the day
layer. The chart is one tab stop: arrows move the selection by a day, a
month or a year with the zoom, Home and End jump to the ends, Enter opens
the day. A visually hidden table lists every entry for screen readers.
The legend says once that stacked means at the same time, not cause and
effect.
Below 768 px the timeline is a chronicle, newest first by month or year,
with an Ongoing block for what has no meaningful start, rails beside the
rows an episode or course spans, and empty stretches named as such.
Switching the module on in Settings opens the readiness inventory: each
lane carries, is thin or is empty, with one link per gap and the verdict
as a count. The same inventory sits as a dismissible card on the timeline
while a gap is open, and under Layers as "Data coverage".
Life events are entered in a sheet (title, kind, a date to the day, month
or year, an optional end, an optional note) from the timeline, the
capture picker and the dashboard's add menu; one surface line maps the
capture kind to the timeline module, and it is offered in one's own
record only. Deleting asks first.
Server routes are built in parallel; the e2e journey answers them with the
contract's shapes. Copy in all seven locales; the timeline and lifeEvents
release-pending prefixes are gone.
