Today gains two additive-nullable digest fields. `justIn` names the day's
newest arrival while it is still news — under three hours old, after which the
record is simply current rather than new. `reactionLine` carries a single
generated sentence about that arrival and replaces the hero's standing lead for
the rest of the local day, never appending a second paragraph, so the hero stays
one lead line tall and nothing below it shifts.
Nothing here polls. The open dashboard picks the change up on the cadence it
already runs — a state change, not a notification.
The generated sentence is bounded before it is written: the arrival spine's
unique row per kind per local day IS the throttle, the worker re-checks the
same claim before spending, and the reservation is reconciled on every exit
including each failure path. Without a provider, without consent, or against an
exhausted budget the row stays line-less and the surface falls back to the
deterministic lead — the chip and the provisional-to-final flip are unaffected.
The chip's time string is formatted client-side after mount; `justIn.at`
crosses the wire as an ISO instant so the server never renders a local
wall-clock time the browser would disagree with.
The batch route now also resolves the user's timezone and module map through
the arrival seam, so a raw call count on user.findUnique no longer isolates
the read this guard is about. Filtering by the SELECT shape keeps the
once-per-batch contract pinned while letting the unrelated cached lookups
through.
Backfill immunity is proved by replay, not by a hand-picked case: a ten-year
Apple Health export (12772 writes) and a 30-day provider re-sync (58 writes)
must both emit zero events, while a fresh sleep night, workout and first
weight of the day emit exactly one each.
The provider-isolation guard walks the worker's static import graph and fails
if any provider client or resolver becomes reachable. It carries two positive
controls, so a broken entry path cannot make it pass against an empty graph.
The integration test covers what unit mocks cannot: the unique index, the
ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING claim, the losing side of ten concurrent claims, the
forward-only marker, ciphertext at rest, the delete cascade, and the
retention window.
Every ingest path in the product can now emit a typed, salience-classified
event into pg-boss, consumed by one worker that claims a durable per-day
reaction marker and fans out to the reaction surfaces.
The recency classifier runs at the seam, before anything is enqueued, so a
mass backfill — a multi-year Apple Health export, a provider re-sync, a
30-day catch-up — emits nothing at all. Non-salient writes are annotated and
dropped.
The worker makes no provider call by construction: it imports no provider
module, writes only markers, and enqueues nothing that is not budget-gated
downstream. Business refusals return a status rather than throwing, so a
refusal is never retried against a ceiling that will not move until the local
day rolls over.
Seams: sleep (one hook, inherited by all seven transports), workouts (the
batch route, the four provider syncs, the export importer), weight and blood
pressure (both measurement routes), labs (manual, OCR commit, document fact
commit).
The provider workout syncs could not previously tell a created row from an
updated one, so a re-sync of a recent session would have re-fired on every
poll; they now recover the distinction from the row the upsert already
returns.
Reaction lines are AES-256-GCM at rest, following the InsightNarrative
precedent, and the column is registered for key rotation. Markers are pruned
after 14 days by a daily maintenance job.
