The 60s poller used to unregister service workers, wipe CacheStorage,
and call location.reload() the moment it saw a version bump, with no
prompt — firing mid-form, mid-message, or mid-wizard and discarding
whatever the user had typed. Keep detecting the new build, but now show
a non-blocking, dismissible toast with a Reload action; the eviction and
reload run only when the user chooses to reload. Show the toast once per
detected version.
Hidden states of the floating coach button now leave the tab order and
accessibility tree, its focus ring carries an offset, its icon is dark
on the gradient, an unread nudge is announced once via a live region,
and it sits correctly above the fold on tablet widths and yields to
the onboarding tour. Chart error cards announce themselves, share the
exact height variables of the skeleton band, carry per-chart retry
labels, and a failed chunk renders inside the regular card shell. The
header icon cluster spaces its extended hit areas apart, the tab strip
keeps horizontal paint room for focus rings, the streak row reserves
its slot in every card state, the selection bar clears the bottom nav
on landscape phones, and the version poller keeps an in-memory reload
guard for browsers that block session storage. Mood notes render as
plain paragraphs with a toggle that appears only when text is actually
clamped, the remember control reveals on hover and hands focus to its
confirmation, and the hypnogram names its source and paints only the
lanes the night contains.
The update poller and the chunk-error reload guard key on the target
version instead of disarming for the whole session, so a second deploy
re-arms the self-heal and a stale shell can no longer strand with
404ing chunks. Lazy chart imports retry once and mount inside a
per-card error boundary with a reload affordance — a failed chunk
degrades to one card instead of replacing the page. The JSON API
client attaches a fifteen-second timeout unless the caller brings its
own signal (the raw streaming path is exempt), chart queries surface
errors with a retry instead of rendering as an empty period, per-type
fetch failures reject instead of caching an empty series as fresh, and
the session and snapshot queries retry once on transient network or
server errors.
The client bundle carries only the active locale — resolved on the
server and handed to the provider with no hydration flash, halving the
dashboard route to under a megabyte parsed (288 KiB gzip). The auth
shell renders the app chrome immediately instead of a spinner while the
session resolves in parallel, the widgets request folds into the
snapshot it duplicated, and insight pills prefetch their sub-pages —
a first visit to a sub-page lands in about ninety milliseconds instead
of nearly a second.
The v1.4.38.3 `AppError` boundary reloads once when a stale shell
trips `ChunkLoadError`, but the reload only fires AFTER the user
hits a navigation that lazy-loads a missing chunk. Users sitting on
the dashboard or insights overview ride out the staleness until
their next click; some never click and the cached shell silently
drifts further out of date with every deploy.
Three layered fixes so the running app heals itself instead:
- `public/sw.js` now keys both `STATIC_CACHE` and `PAGE_CACHE` to
the app release tag (`v1.4.38.4`). The `activate` step already
evicts any cache name outside the current pair, so bumping the
string at release time guarantees the precached root HTML and the
precached `/_next/static/*` chunks from the previous deploy are
dropped on the next SW install.
- `next.config.ts` injects `NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION` from
`package.json` into the client bundle so the running shell knows
which release it was built against.
- New `<VersionPoller>` client component mounts inside `<Providers>`
and polls `/api/version` every 60 s. If the live version moves
ahead of the shell-baked version it unregisters every active SW,
wipes CacheStorage, and `window.location.reload()`s.
`sessionStorage` gates the reload to once per session so a
mid-deploy webhook race that briefly returns a stale image cannot
loop the page.
