The assertion in the module-gate suite could not fail: that fixture's mood
badges carry no completion date, so the result it drove had no pending
unlock and "nothing was written" was true either way. Restoring the INSERT
left it green.
The case moves to its own file with the builder faked so the result always
carries a pending unlock. Undoing the fix now turns it red. The
disabled-module invariant the old case reached for lives with the write, in
the sweep's suite.
A GET must not have side effects — api-handler.ts says so next to
READ_HTTP_METHODS, where an MCP-audience token is admitted on the safe
methods precisely because they are assumed to write nothing. Three routes
broke that: the sync handshake bumped User.lastSyncedAt, the achievements
read inserted unlock rows, and the cycle calendar fired a discarded promise
at the forecast cache so a failed write left no trace anywhere.
Each write moves to the place that causes it.
The sync checkpoint is now stamped by the batch ingest endpoints for
measurements, mood and intakes. The handshake reports it. That also fixes
the watermark: the checkpoint used to advance past a window the client had
not drained, and a client trusting it would skip that window. It can only
trail a real sync now.
The unlock rows move to a nightly achievement-unlock-sweep. The badge grid
never needed them — unlocked comes from the live metrics and the completion
date is derived — so the payload is unchanged; the rows pin that date and
carry it into the backup, and the sweep reaches accounts that never open
the page.
The cycle forecast moves to a nightly cycle-prediction-refresh. The
CyclePrediction row is not a cache of a read: it is the index the reminder
cron scans, so which reminders an account received depended on whether
somebody had opened the calendar. persistPredictionCache no longer
swallows its errors either — the job reports them.
The two calendar-day cases built their due instant with setHours on the
process clock, which vitest pins to UTC, while the component floors the due
date in the profile zone. Those two disagree about the date for the two hours
before UTC midnight, so both cases went red every night in that window and
green again by morning.
Deriving the date parts from the display zone removes the disagreement rather
than hoping the suite never runs at night. Noon is chosen deliberately: at any
offset the zone uses, 12:00 UTC lands on the same calendar date there, so the
instant cannot slide either way.
Verified inside the failing window: red before, green after, and putting
setHours back turns it red again.
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.
The Bearer guard demanded the literal `apiToken.findUnique(`.
`lib/idempotency.ts` writes the same call fluent-style, with a newline
between `prisma.apiToken` and `.findUnique({`, so the matcher never saw
it. It has been resolving a raw Bearer value to a user id since the
idempotency work landed, outside the frozen set, while the guard stayed
green on five files.
Tolerate whitespace around the member access and name the file with what
it does: it decides which user's idempotency cell a replay lands in, and
authorises nothing, because the handler still runs its own requireAuth.
Add the non-zero count assertion the other guards now carry. Narrowing
the regex back to its old form turns this test red, which is the proof
the broadened matcher is what finds the file. The mint-site matcher in
T3 was checked for the same defect and has no hidden members.
The Bearer guard freezes one mechanism: the files that turn an
Authorization header into a user. It reads like coverage of "who can
resolve a caller" and it is not. Two other families do the same job by
other means and no guard watches either.
Fifteen files under src/app read the session cookie directly instead of
going through requireAuth: eight API routes and seven pages. Nine more
authenticate on a token carried in the URL, including the clinician
share tree, which serves one person's whole health record to an
anonymous caller holding a path segment. A sweep that greps for
getSession sees none of the second family.
Freeze both as literal lists with a reason per entry, matched by five
independent legs: the session-deriving helpers, a direct read of the
session cookie name, a dynamic route segment carrying a credential,
share-token resolution, and a query-string credential. Legs overlap, so
each asserts its own membership and its own non-zero count. A leg whose
matcher stops matching then fails instead of letting the union carry it.
`<main id="main-content">` scrolls the authenticated shell, but it was
`position: static`, so an absolutely-positioned descendant with no nearer
positioned ancestor resolved against the initial containing block. That
block sits outside the scroll container: `overflow-y-auto` never clipped
those boxes, and their static position extended the DOCUMENT's scrollable
overflow instead. The result is a second vertical scroll surface beside
`<main>`, which UI-STANDARDS §9 forbids.
The escapees are library markup, so no per-component wrapper would have
caught them. A Radix `<Switch>` outside a `<form>` renders a hidden
`position:absolute` bubble input on its first pass and drops it only once
the button ref resolves, and the root `loading.tsx` chart skeleton carries
an `sr-only` announcement that lives until the real content streams in.
Both are gone within a few hundred milliseconds of hydration, so the page
carried a full-height document scrollbar for the whole pre-hydration
window and looked clean immediately after. On /settings/modules at a
390x844 viewport the document measured 1952 px against an 844 px viewport
while the switches were still bubble-inputs.
Anchoring the scroll container closes the escape route for every such box
at once. The over-scroll guard grows the matching structural assertion:
`<main>` must not compute to `position: static`. The height read it
already had can only see an escapee that happens to be mounted at measure
time, which is why it went red on a loaded CI runner and green on the same
tree twenty minutes earlier; the computed style is timing-free and fails
on every route and both viewports the moment the anchor is removed.
The MCP due-list answered "is this checkup overdue" by comparing the two
instants, so a checkup booked for nine in the morning read overdue from ten
past. The screens read the same reminder as "today" until midnight. One
reminder, two verdicts, and the model reading the tool result repeated the
one nobody could see.
Same counting as the screens and the briefing payload now, on the account's
own clock rather than the server's. A checkup stays due for the whole of the
date it belongs to, and is overdue from the date after.
The briefing payload states how far off a checkup is as a bare number the
model narrates back: "due in N days", "overdue by N days". It got that
number by dividing the hour gap by twenty-four, which answers a different
question than the one the sentence asks. A checkup booked for nine this
morning came out "overdue by 0 days" by the evening. One due Sunday at
01:00, read late on Friday, came out one day off — Saturday, on a calendar
where it is two. A clock-change day is twenty-three or twenty-five hours
long and rounded whichever way its length pushed it.
The checkup screens had exactly this and it was fixed there, so the counting
already exists. Lift it out as `calendarDaysUntil` and have both the phrase
and the number come off it, rather than leaving the payload with a second
body that can drift again. It counts by differencing two integer day indices
read on the person's profile clock, so the answer is exact rather than
rounded, and `extractFeatures` resolves that zone and hands it down — the
number now agrees with the screen the person is looking at.
Today's checkup moves off the overdue list, where the hour gap had put it as
soon as its appointment time passed. The hour it was booked for may be
behind, but the day it belongs to is not.
The horizon that bounds the read stays an hour cutoff on purpose. It is a
query bound, not a statement to anyone about which day something falls on.
A round trip through the real handlers: post a recording, read it back
through the list and the detail routes, and check what a client actually
receives rather than a fixture rebuilt at each end. Post it twice and
the second call says updated, not inserted, and the table does not grow.
Feed the same strip to the export-archive importer afterwards and it
says skipped; feed it to the importer first and the route says
duplicate. Both directions leave one row.
The migration test drops the index, manufactures the collisions the
resolution step exists for, and runs the migration file through the same
executor the deploy uses. It checks which row survived each tiebreak,
that the salvaged event link followed the keeper, that rows differing
only by user, source or sampling rate were left alone, and that the
constraint rejects a new twin afterwards. Applying the migration to the
empty testcontainer proves none of that.
The Withings ECG tests now hand the transaction the same delegate the
shared writer uses, so they still watch the real write instead of a stub
standing in for it.
POST /api/insights/ecg takes one recording per request: the stable
recording id the client already has, the on-device timestamp, the
sampling rate, the waveform as integer micro-volts, the lead, the
average heart rate, and the device's own verdict. Same gating as the
reads (auth, the insights module, the insightStatus surface), userId
from the session, APPLE_HEALTH the only source a client may claim.
sampleCount and durationSeconds are derived here, and nothing about the
waveform is ever interpreted.
The write body now lives in one place, src/lib/ecg/persist-recording.ts,
shared by the Withings sync, the export-archive importer and the new
route. Three writers with three persistence bodies is how the two ends
of one rule drift apart.
Migration 0291 adds the second unique index on
(user_id, source, recorded_at, sampling_frequency). The archive importer
identifies a strip by a hash of its content and a live client by the
device's own sample uuid, so the same physical recording arriving
through both doors carried two different ids and would have landed
twice. One device does not record two different strips at the same
instant at the same sampling rate, so the constraint is sound and the
convergence stops being a convention.
The table already holds rows on deployed instances and two writers have
been filling it since v1.19.0, so the index cannot just be created: a
pre-existing collision would abort the migration. The migration resolves
duplicates first, keeping the row with the most samples (a stored strip
beats a verdict-only row), then the one linked to its event
measurement, then the most recently written, then the lowest id so the
choice is total. The losers' event link is salvaged onto the keeper
first, so resolving a duplicate never costs the recording its place in
the event timeline.
If that resolution is wrong on some instance, the failure is visible at
deploy time and not later: db:migrate:deploy runs on boot, so the
container crash-loops with the migration named in the logs and the
release never serves traffic. A deploy that finishes in under thirty
seconds did not run it.
The GET list and detail routes and the export-archive path are
unchanged; this is a second door, not a replacement.
The spec watched the day flip from provisional to final on a hero that
only its own subject was keeping on screen: the arrival marker was the
last thing in the calm-degrade guard holding the hero up for the bare
fixture account, so removing the arrival chip took the hero with it and
left the spec nothing to observe.
Putting the arrival back into the guard would bring back a worse
problem. An arrival-only digest lands in the compact all-clear
composition, which would tell someone with no readings at all that
everything is clear - a claim about their health made from nothing, and
made only on the days something happened to sync. The guard stays as it
is; the fixture was what was wrong.
So the spec now seeds its own precondition: one integration needing a
reconnect, which is an ordinary Today for anyone whose readings come
from a device. It is read fresh on every request rather than through the
dashboard snapshot cache, so unlike a seeded score or briefing it cannot
lose a race with a cached snapshot, and the rail item admits no module
gate and no dismiss path. The row is removed again afterwards.
While the spec was open: it now pins the state it starts from. It only
ever asserted that the pending-sleep note was absent at the end, which a
note that never rendered also satisfies. It asserts the note is up and
the day reads provisional first, so the two halves are one assertion
with the number flipped.
The component side is pinned in unit tests, since the spec needs a built
app and a database to run.
Two branches met here. One retired the fitness pillar and renamed the test's
pillar list accordingly; the other, written against the eight-pillar world,
referred to it by its old name and its old count. The merge kept the new
declaration and the old references, so nothing compiled.
The name carried the count, which is why the collision was visible at all.
There are seven now.
/api/auth/me/health-score-config shipped in v1.35.0 with a settings page
in front of it and no entry in the contract at all — no path, no schemas,
nothing. A client had the surface and no way to generate against it. This
is publication only; the route does what it already did.
Both verbs are registered off what the route actually returns rather than
off a neighbour's shape. The asymmetry matters and is now written down: the
request speaks the positive selection, the pillars that should count, while
the response carries both sides resolved plus the recipe version. The column
stores the complement, which is storage and no client's business.
The response's updatedAt is documented as optional because it genuinely is
absent until a selection exists — an account that never chose has nothing to
guard a write against, and a decoder that required the field would break on
that read.
The PATCH 422 is written out rather than reusing the shared base-token
response, because this route has four of them and a client branching on
meta.errorCode needs all four: the breadth refusal with the sentence to show
the person, the validation failure, the unparseable base token, and the
non-JSON body. Naming only the token would have been a contract that omits
the refusal people actually hit.
The route test now drives the real route to produce each of those responses
and asserts the published contract names every code that comes back, so a
response the route can emit but the spec does not describe fails the suite.
That closes the base-token ledger: nine routes emit invalid_base_updated_at
and all nine now document it.
GET /api/auth/passkeys was absent from the contract entirely — no path
entry, no schema — while the client teams had been pointed at a published
schema for it since v1.32.8. It is now registered with the shape the route
actually serves: id, name, credentialDeviceType, credentialBackedUp,
createdAt, and the nullable lastUsedAt that started this. The route itself
is unchanged; only the record of it was missing. PasskeyInfo is deliberately
separate from WebauthnMfaCredentialInfo — one lists sign-in credentials, the
other second-factor security keys, and merging them would blur two surfaces
that behave differently. The route test now compares the projection the
route asks Prisma for against the published property set, so neither end can
move without the other.
`invalid_base_updated_at` existed only in route tests. It is now on all
eight published endpoints that accept a `baseUpdatedAt` body token, and the
field description says the thing implementers keep getting wrong: an
unparseable token, `null` included, is rejected with 422 rather than falling
back to the unconditional write. Omitting the key is the only way to get
that write.
/api/auth/me/health-score-config also returns this 422 but is not in the
spec at all; publishing that route is a separate piece of work.
The `type` query parameter on GET /api/insights/derived carried the eleven
VITALS_BASELINE vitals and described itself as being for that metric only.
SAME_TIME_BASELINE takes a `type` too, and its four cumulative day metrics
were absent from the enum, so a client generated against the spec could not
send them at all. The parameter now publishes the union of both registry
sets and the description says which values belong to which metric. A guard
reads the enum back out of the assembled document and pins it to the
registry, so a type added to either engine reaches the contract with it.
The idempotency wrapper's two 409 arms sent `error` as `{ message }`. That
was the only object-shaped error the application emitted; every other route
sends the documented `{ data, error: <string> }` envelope, which is also
what the spec has always promised. The code was wrong, not the spec. Both
arms now build their response through one helper that sends the string, so
every route under withIdempotency serves the envelope its clients decode.
The hero score-ring comment still described MED_COMPLIANCE as pooled 7-day
adherence. It has been today's dose progress since v1.27.8.
iOS green-lit removal on 2026-07-30 (their decoder treats both as
optional, confirmed at ShareLinkDTO.swift:105-106) and confirmed no
shipped build breaks. Drops RETIRED_FHIR_SCOPE_FIELDS and its spread
from the create and list responses, removes the two properties and
their required-list entries from ShareLinkCreated/ShareLinkList in
the OpenAPI source, and regenerates the spec. The request side was
already closed off by .strict() in an earlier pass; this finishes it
on the response side.
Route tests now assert the fields are absent from both responses
instead of asserting the constants they used to carry.
The app carries three scores and meant two things by a green dot.
Readiness and the sleep score both call 70 green; the health score alone
wanted 75. One app cannot do that, so the outlier moved. The yellow floor
stays at 50: raising the bar for a reward and lowering the bar for a
warning are different decisions, and only the first one was on the table.
The band is still not a function of the number. The composite takes the
worse of the mean's band and the worst counted pillar's, so a composite
carrying a red pillar stays red however high the mean sits - the stored
band on a recorded day exists for exactly that reason. Only the mean-side
thresholds moved.
The method version moves with it. A day already recorded keeps the band
it was actually shown under, and the notice key carries the version, so
each account is told once that the rules moved. The week-over-week
comparison is left alone on purpose: the number itself does not change,
only the colour it is drawn in, so a subtraction across the change still
compares two numbers worked out the same way.
Under a number, 'Just in' did not say what had arrived - the score? a
reading? - and the clock face beside it changed nothing a person would
then do. The line is gone, and with it the only wall clock this surface
rendered.
What it was there for survives: the day still flips in place when last
night's sleep lands, and the pending-night note still says the number is
reading an incomplete day. An arrival on its own is no longer a reason
to paint a hero at all, so an account whose only news was the arrival
now gets nothing rather than a bordered empty card.
The digest still carries the arrival, which the morning line and the
wide event both read.
Save moves out of the header and into its own row at the bottom right,
where every other settings card that saves a form puts it. The body
starts on the title's reading edge instead of the card edge, so the text
lines up with the cards above and below it.
The rules between the rows are gone; the gap between groups does the
grouping. Every row said 'Being recorded - Shown in the app' under the
pillar name, which is the modules screen's business and was the same two
words on every line - the sentence at the top of the card already says
it once. The paragraph explaining that heart, glucose and cholesterol
are three pillars in one area is gone too.
The area headings read in the content colour now rather than the muted
one, so they stop looking switched off beside the rows they head.
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 spec hand-builds a calendar response, and the wheel now reads the
resolved verdict from it. Without the field the ring paints empty, so the
fixture derives the verdict from the same phase plan it derives the day
grid from and the two cannot drift apart.
Three checks. The engine tests pin the overdue boundary from both sides:
day 42 of a stated 28-day cycle still counts, day 43 stops counting and
reports fifteen days later than usual.
The round-trip test calls the real GET handler, reads the response body as
text and parses it, so a field that both ends handle but the wire never
carries fails here. It runs the same instant twice for two accounts in
different timezones and gets two different answers, which is what the
account timezone is for. It also checks the ring's cycle day against the
phase engine the coach read uses, so the two cannot tell someone two
different days.
The guard reads the syntax tree of every file under components, hooks and
app, and fails on a grace-period constant, on an overdue verdict computed
rather than read, and on a cycle-day count compared against a sum. It
follows local bindings, so lifting the threshold into a variable above the
comparison does not hide it. A companion suite tries nine disguises against
the same detector and pins five innocent shapes it must ignore, including
an overdue medication dose.
The cycle ring's day count, its phase arcs, and the judgement that a period
is late all used to be worked out in web client code, including the
fourteen-day grace window that decides when the count stops being an
observed fact. Anything else that wanted the same answer had to reproduce
that rule, and a second copy of it is how a ring ends up showing someone a
cycle day their record does not hold.
GET /api/cycle/calendar now carries a verdict: the state, the cycle day,
the ring's arcs, the cycle start, how many days until the next period, and
when the period is late, how late. It is resolved against the user's own
timezone day, which a browser in another zone cannot do. The web wheel,
the wellness-strip tile, the insights teaser and the temperature chart all
render it, the grace constant is gone from the components directory, and
the spec says the field is required.
The overdue caption now names the number of days instead of only saying
later than usual.
A medication on a rolling interval had its expected dose anchored on the moment
the person actually injected, and was then checked off against the moment it was
planned for, with six hours of tolerance. Those two are allowed to sit days
apart, because a dose taken late still counts, so the dose someone's own
injection created could never be marked done. It stayed open, went overdue, and
the app asked for it again.
No editing was needed to reach it. Taking a weekly dose a few days late was
enough, on any account. Push reminders read the plan rather than the entries and
were never affected, so this was on screen, not on a phone.
The new page wrote its own success toast. The outcome module owns that
affordance so a saved thing looks the same everywhere, and a structural check
catches anyone reaching around it. That check offers an allowlist entry as a
way out; taking it would have left two places deciding what a success looks
like, which is the thing the module exists to prevent.
Two branches met here. One made `configured` a required field so a caller
cannot stay silent and publish "not authored" for an account that chose its
own composition. The other wrote these cases before that existed, so they
compiled against the old shape and stopped compiling against the new one.
Filling the field in to satisfy the compiler would have thrown away the point
of making it required, so each case now states what it actually is: the two
with a hand-picked selection are authored, and the one whose own comment says
the account counts all eight is the default.
The composite's coverage counts distinct areas of health, not pillars.
The learning line called them pillars, so an account recording blood
pressure, glycaemia and cholesterol read that it had one eligible pillar
while three sat in front of it. The count was right and stays; the noun
was wrong.
The meter beneath the score carried the same confusion further. Its
fraction is the three-area minimum the score requires, and a score only
exists once that floor is met, so it rendered as full coverage for every
account that has one. The arithmetic is untouched. Below the floor the
fraction is a real number and is shown as one; at or above it, the floor
is stated. The dots and the percentage were always honest, they track how
much history is behind the number, and they stay.
Both are held down by an AST guard rather than a text search, with a
counter-test for the neighbouring lines that are legitimately about
pillars and legitimately about a real fraction.
The flag was proven end to end over the real snapshot, digest and derived
wires, which is the right place to show that it arrives and the wrong place
to be the only proof of what it means. That suite needs a container runtime,
so on a machine without one the definition stood unguarded: replacing the
default side of the comparison with the unnarrowed catalogue, the exact
mistake the docblock warns about, left the whole unit suite green.
The definition now has its own fast test, and that break takes two of its
cases red.
A dedicated settings page lists every scorable pillar grouped by the area
of health it speaks to, so the fact that blood pressure, glycaemia and
lipids are three pillars of one area is visible rather than buried. Each
row shows the three things that were never separable before: whether the
pillar is being recorded, whether it is shown, and whether it counts
toward the score. Only the last is writable here, and the page says so.
A pillar whose tracking is switched off is not listed at all, because it
is not waiting for anything. A pillar this build cannot score yet is
listed, disabled, and says why. Wellbeing under safety signposting is
named as safety guidance and never as a mistake in the selection. The
refusal for a selection too narrow to produce a score comes from the
server and is shown in the reader's own language.
The score's foot disclosure gains one link into the page.
Two sentences about the Health Score stopped being true the moment
someone could choose which pillars count toward it.
The one people read said the score averaged "every pillar that has
enough recent data". For an account that took a pillar out, that
describes ground the number does not cover, and it reads as a
reassurance rather than a description. It now says the average is over
the pillars that count, that a pillar without recent data is still left
out rather than zeroed, and that which pillars count is the reader's own
choice, so the combined number is not itself a clinical standard. All
six locales.
The one nobody reads named the WHO HEARTS technical package flat, as
though a standards body had signed off on whatever selection the account
holds. HEARTS names the risk factors the pillars are drawn from; it
prescribes no average over them. The entry now says what it is cited
for. While checking where that citation surfaces it turned out it
surfaces nowhere: ProvenanceExplainer takes the prop and renders only
the method caption, which v1.22 did on purpose when the info popover
went away. That is written down in the file now, because the map's own
header implies otherwise and the next person would trust it.
The registry entry for HEALTH_SCORE lists all eight pillars with a
minimum of three, which reads like the recipe and like a threshold. It
is neither. The published coverage and confidence are built in
computeComposite over the resolved composition, so a person counting
four pillars is not measured against a denominator of eight, and the
real floor is the breadth rule, which counts distinct domains rather
than inputs. Both facts are now stated at the entry instead of being
inferable only by following the call chain.
Tests: the published denominator is never the eight-pillar catalogue; a
pillar somebody took out of their score is never listed back as missing
coverage; a pillar they kept and have no data for still is; the registry
list stays equal to the score catalogue; the choice sentence is present
in all six locales.
One line under the method version, shown only when the server says the
composition is the person's own. It states the fact and stops there:
which pillars they took out belongs to the settings surface, and
working it out here from a configuration blob would put a second
decider behind one sentence.
The dashboard snapshot copies it off the composite, the daily digest
copies it off the snapshot, and the derived-metric payload already
carries it inside the composite value. Optional on both DTOs like the
score identity fields beside it, so older cached bodies stay valid.
The digest's score object is additionalProperties:false and had never
declared deltaReason, scoreVersion or composition, all of which it has
been sending. A generated strict decoder would have rejected the real
payload, so they are declared here too rather than left standing next
to a field that documents itself correctly.
One boolean on the composite: true when the account's resolved
composition differs from the composition its defaults would resolve to
today, both narrowed by the same modules. Decided once in the score
reader, from the same config and module map the composition came from,
so no client interprets a config blob to answer it.
This is not hasSelection. An account that opened the surface and kept
every pillar has written a selection and is not configured; an account
whose modules alone narrow the set has authored nothing and is not
configured either.
The promise is that nobody's number moves the day they upgrade, and the
way it holds is easy to lose: there is no backfill and no migration
step, because a null column reads as version zero, version zero counts
every pillar, and every pillar narrowed to what the account's modules
record is exactly the set the module switches were producing before.
The inheritance is the resolver's behaviour, so the next person to touch
the resolver needs to know they are holding it.
Also records what the first save sets in motion, once each: the delta
suppressed while the comparison window still straddles the change, the
next stored day marked as a break so the line is drawn in two segments,
and the notice raised under a key carrying the recipe version.
The recipe boundary opened with an early return for a missing date and
another for a date it could not read. Deleting either one changed no
answer any test or any caller could observe: both cases parse to NaN,
and every comparison against NaN is already false, so the refusal was
falling out of the arithmetic underneath them. An if that cannot change
an outcome is a comment wearing a keyword, and it invites the next
reader to trust a lock that is not attached to anything.
The behaviour is unchanged and now has one statement instead of three,
with the reason written where the next person will look for it.
The seam had the same shape in miniature: a day naming no recipe was
already broken away from a day that named one, by plain inequality, so
the arm only ever mattered when two consecutive days both named none.
That case is now covered, and removing the arm makes it fail.
The recipe boundary also required a version of at least one before it
would suppress. That reads like a second lock and is not one: the
resolver returns a version below one only on the same path that returns
no change date, so nothing could ever reach the condition and no test
could make it fail. Removing it leaves the guard asking the one question
that has an honest answer, which is whether the recipe moved inside the
window.
The invariant that makes the removal safe is now pinned instead: a
resolved configuration never carries a version without the date beside
it. A resolver path that produced one would wave that account's recipe
change straight past the guard.
Also pins the order of the two rules that can fire together. A change
that moved the composition trips both, and the person is told they
changed what counts rather than that the included pillars changed, which
would describe the consequence and leave out the act.
The named failure now has a test that drives the whole chain a request
takes: fixture rows through the real reader, the real score record
write, the real dashboard snapshot, the real verdict rung, and the real
digest that gives the morning push its sentence. Only the IO around that
chain is faked. A version built on a hand-written snapshot literal would
have stayed green through a release where the assembly between the two
ends dropped the field, which has happened here before.
Every case runs twice on the same data. Once with the recipe changed
three days ago, once with it changed a month ago. The second run is what
proves the fixture really does produce an eleven-point fall, so the first
run's silence is the guard working rather than an account with nothing
to say. The decline is gradual on purpose: a cliff would raise each
pillar's own noise floor and the delta would be suppressed for a reason
that has nothing to do with the recipe.
Beside it, the boundary's edges, the notice key's two dimensions and the
seam's shape, each with a case proving the guard stays quiet on innocent
data. Against real Postgres, a row now has to come back carrying the
recipe version and change date the account's stored configuration
supplied.
