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.
Two areas of health score now, and one does. The arithmetic is the same
at every breadth, so nothing on the web surfaces distinguished a number
resting on blood pressure alone from one resting on five areas. The
panel now states its scope.
The basis line. Below the recommended breadth the card renders "Based on
{n} of 3 areas of health" under the band sentence, in the same weight,
and stops there. It stands where the learning gate used to stand for
those accounts, which is what the gate was for before the refusal moved.
The number keeps its size and its band colour at every tier, there is no
warning glyph, no second colour, no apology: the coverage meter and the
confidence band underneath already do the quantitative caveat work, and
the composition list names the areas one tap away. At full breadth the
line says nothing, because a fraction that reads "3 of 3" (or "4 of 3" —
the block counts domains, the recommendation caps at three) is not a
label. The daily hero carries the same sentence beside its ring, in the
hero's quiet tier, because the ring shows a number and nothing else.
The gate survives for the one case that is still a refusal: not a single
pillar readable. Its copy stopped claiming the score needs three areas
and stopped counting them — above zero there is a score now, and the
meter below renders the fraction anyway.
The coverage axis. "Covers the three areas the score needs" was false
the moment three stopped being needed, and the branch that chose it was
worse: it asked whether a score exists, so a two-area account would have
been told it covers the three areas the score recommends — the old lie
one floor up. The branch is the breadth tier now. Full breadth states
the recommendation; everything narrower shows the fraction, which since
this release is a real moving number rather than a floor every scored
account cleared by definition. The key was renamed off "minimumMet"
because there is no minimum left to name.
Settings names the recommendation rather than a requirement: three areas
is what the score recommends, a selection with one pillar saves, and a
narrower score is worked out the same way.
Copy lands in all seven catalogues.
Tests: the axis guard gains a third claim, rendered rather than read out
of the source — the real panel at each tier, including the two-area arm
that was unreachable for a scored account until now. The card gains a
partial-score block comparing the headline number's markup byte for byte
against a full-breadth render, so "renders the same" is asserted where
it can actually break, plus the counter-case that a refusal still gets
the gate and nothing else. The hero strip proves the sentence reaches
the band, not only the component. The geometry reserve was re-measured
with a browser rather than widened: a three-row panel carrying the basis
line lands at 420px, inside the 400-484px range the reserve brackets, so
the declared minimum is unchanged and the narrow shape is now measured.
- 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.
`settleBeforeMeasure` ends with a `waitForLoadState("networkidle")` whose
rejection is swallowed and a `page.evaluate` awaiting
`document.fonts.ready`. Both are written to end on their own terms, and
neither had a bound: the config leaves `actionTimeout` and
`navigationTimeout` unset, which Playwright reads as no limit, so a
single sub-resource that never completes consumes the whole test budget
rather than the wait.
The way it surfaces is the worst part. The swallowed timeout hides the
stall, the run reports whichever call was still pending when the fixture
closed the page, and the message reads
Test timeout of 30000ms exceeded.
Error: page.evaluate: Target page, context or browser has been closed
which names neither the surface nor the resource. Raising the budget
changes nothing, because no budget bounds an unbounded wait.
Route one font request to a handler that never answers and the current
code reproduces that message exactly; with the bound in place the same
run reaches the spec's own assertion in twelve seconds.
Six seconds is an order of magnitude above the slowest settle measured
across the suite (1.1 s, /insights at a mobile viewport).
Eight test and fixture files hardcoded scoreVersion: 2, a value the
constant has not held since v1.35.0. Now they import SCORE_VERSION and
use it, so a future bump cannot leave a fixture pinned to a stale
number.
The one genuinely historical case (record.test.ts, proving the input
fingerprint moves when the algorithm version moves) now derives both
its "previous" and "current" markers from SCORE_VERSION instead of two
unrelated literals, so the pair keeps its meaning after the next bump.
It could never score. The schema records VO2max but cannot tell a
measured test apart from a device estimate, so every fitness row reached
the scorer unproven and was refused - the pillar has never produced a
value on any account. Listing it on the score settings page as a thing
you can choose, with a line admitting it does nothing, was chrome over a
switch that changed no number.
So it leaves the catalogue: no pillar id, no domain, no scorer, no row,
no wire field. A stored selection that still names it reads back fine -
the resolver has always filtered stored ids against the catalogue and
drops what it no longer knows, so nobody's saved recipe throws or is
discarded over it.
That also fixes the page claiming unsaved changes forever. The save
stripped the fitness pillar out of the selection on its way to the
server, so the answer that came back could never match the form that
sent it, and 'All pillars' left the save button lit no matter how often
you pressed it.
The over-scroll guard measured a settings page while two of its cards were
still showing their loading state, and read a height that no longer existed a
moment later. The page was blamed for a second scroll surface it did not have.
The gate waited on the layout shell, which is present long before the data
under it, and its own documentation says a sentinel has to be something the
measurement depends on. It now also waits for the loading placeholders the app
marks in the markup, and gives up quietly rather than failing if one legitimately
stays, since a timeout would be a worse failure than the one being prevented.
Four things a person notices if they break: a pillar never shows up twice
anywhere in the panel, a failed read never lands in the not-scored list, the
panel does not push the page sideways at 360 pixels, and the whole thing is
there with the briefing switched off. Every one of them was broken on purpose
first to check the test actually goes red.
The label column is 8rem, not 7. Rendered in all six languages, 7rem clipped
the longest label in five of them, two of those by two pixels, which reads as
a bug rather than a truncation. The reserve is 480 pixels, measured against
the built panel rather than guessed: three rows come to 440 and six to 524.
The overview fixture now carries a health score, so the phone-width guard
measures a band with the panel in it instead of an empty column.
Four specs navigated and then read the DOM once, with nothing in between
that waits for anything but the network. An idle network says nothing about
whether React has rendered, so the read can sample a tree that is still
mounting and the assertion then blames the application for a race inside the
test. Two such reads went red on consecutive CI runs, on different specs.
The settings over-scroll guard also slept a fixed 500 ms, which is the wrong
shape twice over: too long when the page is ready, too short on a loaded
runner, and it never says what it is waiting for.
The structural guard runs in the unit suite rather than in Playwright,
because e2e runs at PR-CI only and flaky counts as failed there — one
unguarded read otherwise costs a whole pipeline before anyone sees it. It
refuses to count a wait whose rejection is thrown away, since that reads
like a guarantee and is not one, and would leave the check defeatable by
appending a catch. The one deliberate swallow is on the allowlist with its
reason: a genuine regression there still fails at the width assertion below
it, which reports the measured number instead of a timeout message.
The Insights overview panned sideways at every phone width. SectionHeading
pinned its trailing action slot with shrink-0, which sizes a flex item to its
max-content width. That slot was designed for a compact control, but every
caller passes prose today — the provenance method caption, the device-score
subtitle, the sleep-quality subtitle. A sentence at max-content measures
1229 px in English and 1464 px in German, and since the row sits inside the
AuthShell <main> — whose overflow-y:auto makes overflow-x compute to auto —
that width turned the page into a horizontal scroller. min-w-0 lifts the flex
min-width:auto floor so the caption wraps to the row instead; the parent's
flex-wrap still moves the slot to its own line before anything is squeezed.
The existing width guards could not see this. Both measured
documentElement.scrollWidth, which never budges when <main> absorbs the
overflow into its own scroll area, and the insights case ran against an empty
mocked payload that fits any viewport by construction.
- Add e2e/utils/horizontal-overflow.ts: asserts the document AND the <main>
scroll container, and names the widest offending element on failure.
- Add e2e/mobile-horizontal-overflow.spec.ts: sweeps /insights, /, /measurements
and /medications at 360/390/393/402/430 px against populated fixtures, plus a
canary proving the measurement can see through <main>, and a check that the
insights fixture really populates the page.
- Rewrite the cycle spec's empty payload as a populated one and sweep every
phone width; its /insights case moves to the new spec.
- Point mobile-density.spec.ts at the shared assertion — it carried the same
document-only blind spot.
The Today digest's dose-window rail item linked to the bare /medications
list even though the overdue medication's id was already resolved
server-side alongside its name — a tap landed the user on a generic list
they then had to scan themselves.
buildMedsTodayBlock now carries nextDueMedicationId; the digest's
"Log dose" action links to /medications?highlight=<id> when the id is
known, falling back to the bare list for an older cached block. The
medications page reads the highlight param, scrolls the matching card
into view, and rings it briefly (mirrors the vault's duplicate-upload
highlight) in both the card grid and the table view. Regenerates
docs/api/openapi.yaml for the new medsToday field.
The digest-driven Today hero is the single promoted hero at the top of
the dashboard, so the old opt-in hero band is redundant — a user who had
opted in and has Insights on saw two heroes. Remove the legacy hero and
its heroVisible layout flag.
- Drop the DashboardHero / DashboardHeroSkeleton mount from the
dashboard page; the header now renders the greeting unconditionally
(its showGreeting gate is gone with the hero that owned it).
- Retire the heroVisible field from the dashboard layout (type,
defaults, resolver, serializer) and the widgets PUT schema. The
resolver is a whitelist constructor, so a stored heroVisible is
dropped on read and never re-persisted — no stored layout breaks.
- Delete the now-orphaned hero components (band, skeleton, ring
carousel, briefing spotlight) and their tests; drop the retired
dashboard.hero copy across all locales.
- Remove the hero-visibility toggle from Settings → Dashboard. The
score-ring picker no longer hangs off that flag and stays available,
since the rings it configures still ride the server-computed
dashboard snapshot.
- Repoint the phone-width density guard at the Today hero and mock the
daily digest so it renders.
- Repoint the preserve-when-absent doc analogy off the removed field.
The dynamic /i18n/[locale] route handler answered with Next's default
Cache-Control (private, max-age=0, must-revalidate) and no validator —
its immutable-cache header was overridden, so a non-PWA browser would
re-download the full catalog on every hard load. Static public/ files
keep an ETag (repeat loads revalidate to a 304) and the service
worker's cache-first rule covers the offline relaunch; the ?v= build
key the layout appends busts both per deploy.
scripts/generate-i18n-boot.mjs writes public/i18n/<locale>.js for all
six locales as a prebuild/predev step (the sw-version.js pattern);
output is gitignored. The route handler is removed.
Measured on a production build, authenticated DE session: dashboard
document 522 KB raw / 139 KB gz -> 170 KB raw / 24.6 KB gz; the DE
catalog moves into a one-time 119 KB gz cached asset.
H2
The correlation-card header's right slot kept its icon-era shrink-0
after v1.22 replaced the info glyph with an inline caption — the
unshrinkable badge+caption row escaped the card's right edge by
14–39 px at 390/360 across all five cards and squeezed the title to a
2-line 36–42 % sliver. The caption now stacks under the title below sm
(only the compact strength badge stays pinned right); on >=sm the
inline layout is unchanged.
Same surface: the discovered-relations stat caption ('{n} gepaarte
Tage · r · q') stacks below its finding sentence on phone widths
instead of wrapping to a 4-line sliver at ~25 % of the row, and the
subsection caveat caption stacks under the subheading instead of
wrapping 9 lines beside it.
The phone-width density guard now sweeps /insights/mood too, with
mocked correlation + discovery payloads pinning the populated worst
case (five cards, three mood pairs) so the guard cannot pass vacuously.
H6
New density guard at 390x844 and 360x780 on the dashboard and
/insights: page scrollWidth never exceeds the viewport, and no
descendant's visible box crosses its card / hero / list-row edge
(clip-aware below the tile; content cut off at the tile's own edge
counts as an escape). The snapshot mock gains hero fixtures — layout
heroVisible, three score rings, and a briefing whose signal rows pair
long wrapping headlines with wide delta strings — so the guard
exercises the exact shape that regressed, and asserts the spotlight
rows actually render rather than passing vacuously.
Move the BP/pulse/body-fat/weight band + target derivation out of the
dashboard client component and into the snapshot DTO. The page recomputed
every band from the user profile on each render via the analytics band
helpers; the snapshot builder now resolves the same numeric structures
once server-side under a new targetBands block, calling the identical
helpers. Emit only the i18n-free numbers — the label-bearing BP target
zones stay client-assembled from the server numbers.
Add a parity test asserting buildTargetBands matches the prior client
derivation for a male, a female, and a no-profile user.
The snapshot's fast phase gains a medsToday block — active count,
today's scheduled/taken/skipped tally after the idempotent projection,
and the earliest server-computed next due across active medications —
and the warm phase derives a compact health score from the coverage
map and graded blood-pressure windows the extras build already holds.
A pure verdict resolver ranks the day's single highlighted item over
nine rungs from an overdue dose down to a quiet-day fallback, with
fixed crisis floors for the blood-pressure rung and timezone-correct
day checks. The layout grows a heroVisible flag riding the stored
widgets JSON, the iOS summary route adopts the shared dose-state
builder with an unchanged wire shape, and the new sub-blocks report
their build time alongside the existing snapshot timings.
The two-o'clock status crons generated for every account, ignoring both
the per-user coach opt-out and the operator kill switch; they now share
one gated discovery that also skips users the pregenerate pass will
rewarm anyway, and the mood card finally gets the nightly run the other
six always had. Deleted measurements no longer feed any prompt. Locales
without an assistant language fall back to English consistently instead
of German texts with English fallbacks. A rate-limited regenerate stops
claiming success, the dashboard briefing state distinguishes a missing
provider from a pending generation and serves a stale briefing with its
timestamp instead of hiding it, narrative warming actually processes
oldest first, and worker failures reach the error tracker through one
shared reporter while the insight queues gain real retries.
Add the data-value features to the insights category pages on top of the
density pass:
- Stat strip: lead each metric page with min / max / median / mean,
read from the already-fetched analytics summaries slice (no new
network). Median is now computed in both summary producers — exact in
the live path, a windowed PERCENTILE_CONT in the rollup-tier slim
slice. The thin HealthKit pages mount it too for parity; no AI
assessment is added there.
- Range band: shade an Apple-Health-style min-max area around the daily
mean line where the data supports it (non-cumulative metrics). The
daily-aggregate read now emits per-day min / max from the rollup
buckets; the band rides the existing target-range toggle.
- All readings: a dedicated per-metric subpage at /insights/values/<type>
reusing the measurement list pinned to one type (pagination + inline
edit/delete). A clear entry button mounts at the foot of each
category page.
- Diversity nudge: a gentle hint when a metric's readings cluster on one
weekday or time of day, computed from a bounded, cached timestamp
window — non-blocking, self-gating.
All new reads stay cache-friendly and off the navigation path.
The v1.7.2 default-ON snapshot flag makes the dashboard read every tile
from GET /api/dashboard/snapshot; the e2e build sets no opt-out var, so
the specs that only mocked the legacy cells hit the real route, got
empty summaries for the zero-measurement seed user, and timed out the
tile/chart assertions.
Add a shared, correctly-typed mock helper and wire it into the five
tile-asserting specs alongside the existing legacy mocks (kept to
protect the reversible path).
