The snapshot stamps every metric block with an asOf built from the
newest reading in it, which for mood is the newest ENTRY on the 1-5
axis. Somebody who taps a face each morning and opens the sliders once
a week therefore carries a block stamped as current and a stress
reading six days old, and a reader taking the block stamp as covering
the dimensions states last week's answer as today's.
The block now names the precedence in one line beside the dimensions,
and each dimension keeps its own age. Present only when there are
dimensions to explain.
The staleness test rebuilds the block shape from the pure calculator, so
it proves the calculator and the freshness rule agree and nothing else:
hardcoding the freshness flag in the feature builder, deleting the
notice that goes with a stale value, or dropping the whole block left it
green. This calls extractFeatures against real rows instead.
Both failures were watched. With the flag hardcoded true the unit test
still reported four passing while this one named the six-day-old stress;
with the notice removed it named the missing instruction.
