useDashboardAggregations re-exported lbl, aggregate, OTHER_KEY, otherLabel
and NEUTRAL from @map/composables/useFacetAggregation.js, so that callers
could migrate after kit landing 4c-1 moved the generic half to the library.
Five files were still importing through it. They now import from the library
directly and the re-export line is gone; what stays in this module — colorFor
and its facet branches, the religion palettes, the donut and bar builders —
is research-specific.
DashboardChartsRail keeps its three builders from here and takes the other
four symbols from the library, so the split is by what each symbol is, not
by which file is nearer.
NEUTRAL is still imported: colorFor and buildCountryRegionColors read it five
times as the "no palette for this key" colour. Kit landing 4c-1 updated the
re-export line and not the import beside it, and every read threw
ReferenceError until that was fixed — deleting a re-export is not the same as
deleting the import next to it, so the import stays and the now-unused lbl
and aggregate come out of it.
Rebuild-and-compare on dashboard-plus-grid: 821.50 kB before and after,
899,237 bytes both, and every string literal appears the same number of times
in each. The builds differ only in which short names the minifier assigned,
which is what a change of module order looks like.
(cherry picked from commit f2cdcd0b62)
A map says how it behaves on a narrow screen once, in its <profile>.meta.json:
"mobile": "desktop-only" (blocked on a phone) or "larger-screens" (opens,
under a dismissible notice). Absent means phone-ready. Until now the rule
lived only in the Research Gallery, as two hard-coded id sets, so a map
opened standalone on its own leaf page on a phone got neither the block nor
the notice.
- profile-meta.mjs knows the vocabulary; generate-tree and the dev manifest
carry the flag into each profile's manifest entry, and generate-tree into
the leaf page's BASE_CONFIG (with the map's name for the desktop-only
sentence).
- ProfileLoader mounts library/components/LargerScreenNotice.vue on a screen
under 640px: for desktop-only the profile is never mounted and a centred
message says why; for larger-screens a slim in-flow bar sits above the map
(it cannot cover the map's controls), dismissible per profile for the
session, in the element's own locale and direction. Inside the Gallery it
stays quiet: every Gallery pane now carries data-doxa-gallery.
- One text: the Gallery's two sentences moved into the library catalogue as
messages.largerScreenNotice / desktopOnlyNotice (+ noticeDismiss), all 11
locales moved as they were, and the Gallery reads them from there.
- The Gallery derives its rules from the manifest's flags. On a phone it
mounts nothing until the manifest has landed: its baked first tab (Big
Picture) would otherwise mount there before the flags say it is
desktop-only.
- dashboard-plus-grid is desktop-only and gospel-internet/board is
larger-screens, the two sets the Gallery held; nothing changes for either.
- check:mobile-gating now asserts the vocabulary, that each flagged leaf page
carries its flag, the Gallery's derivation and its closed-before-manifest
rule, that Big Picture stays desktop-only, the 11 locales, and the
notice's mounting. Its self-test plants one failure per rule.
The regions list showed a poster per country and could print the poster alone.
Supplying a records provider is what makes the Prayer List, Card Deck and Prayer
Packet buttons appear at all -- PosterWall hides them when a wall cannot supply
rows, rather than failing at click time -- and this wall never supplied any.
Records come from the shared provider, not a copy of anyone's fetch. It caches
one request per language and every country in every region shares it, so opening
five regions is still one request, and the same rows feed the sheet, so the
printed map and the printed list cannot disagree about which groups are in a
country.
Page 1 is GENERATED, because there is nothing to load. No country sheet ships:
data/posters holds 28 .html and all 28 are zones, and emit-countries.mjs writes
only country-posters.json, whose `sheet` field is a paper size rather than a
filename. So the packet's default lift asked for posters/country-<iso3>.html and
404ed on all 175. country-sheet-print.js draws it instead, in the same shape as
the zone sheet next door so the two surfaces cannot draw the same sheet two
ways, and returns '' when there is no country or no rows so the caller falls
through rather than printing an empty country.
There is ONE loading path for the generator, not two: this calls
generateCountrySheet, and posterSheets resolves the served, sha384-pinned
poster-render.js itself. Nothing here fetches or imports the generator directly.
MEASURED against the development baseline, both built here: 1044 -> 1061 KB,
+17 KB. An earlier measurement of this same wiring on the pre-pinned base read
+208 KB; almost all of that was the printing subsystem that is now served rather
than bundled, so the cost fell by about 190 KB without this file changing.
createPosterGenerator does not appear in the bundle.
item-count-key replaces nothing: the noun pair still names the section, and the
count now goes through the plural-aware key.
Measured on the live list (2026-09-29): after loading, the store tested every photo by loading it, three at a time with a second between batches: 932 photos, 132 MB by their Content-Length (the 77 IMB photos alone are 115 MB), for as long as the page stayed open, whether or not anyone zoomed in. All 939 photo URLs answered 200, and the canvas already loads only the photos in view and draws its grey box for any that fail, so the test is removed. A headless run of the real store with a counting Image stub: 12 photo requests in the first 3.5 s before, 0 after.
A group with no photo URL now gets none, instead of the stock "no image" photo, which answers 404. Today every group has a URL (a regional photo when it has none of its own), so nothing changes on screen.
The source picker only showed with two sources or more, and there has been one since the WordPress API and the CSV were dropped. It goes, with the two loaders, the CSV parser, their CSS, and the card component nothing imports. The bundle is 9.6 kB smaller (2.5 kB gzip).
rega at 390 px: the Mobilize list, a bottom sheet over 54% of the map, had no way to put it down. A handle at the top of the sheet (both views, one shared choice) lowers it to a 56 px bar and raises it again, and the map frames the selection above whichever height it has.
country-map filtered its fetched groups to the countries it was given, and fell
through to the UNFILTERED list when it was given none. So a host that omits the
attribute, misspells it, or passes a value that is neither an array nor a
comma-string got the entire global list drawn on an element whose whole contract
is one country.
Measured against the shipped country data: 2,106 groups across 175 countries,
where a typical country has 1 and the largest has 855. And the child's fill
expression matches nothing on an empty list, so those pins arrive with no
country outline at all -- a wall of worldwide dots that looks like data rather
than like the misconfiguration it is.
Empty now draws nothing, and says why in the console, addressed to whoever
embedded the element: this is a missing attribute rather than a data state, so
it does not belong in a translated sentence on the page. It sits beside the
fetch error that was already logged there.
Verified in the built bundle, not the source: the minified output carries
`E.size||console.error(...)` and the empty branch compiles to [].
Probe in _qa-cycle reads the filter expression out of the component and
exercises it. Mutation-tested: restoring the fall-through makes it report 3 pins
where it wants 0, and it passes only with the fix.
country-map reused the regions dashboard's load-failure sentence. That wording
is right on both regions surfaces and wrong here: this element has no region, it
has one or more countries, and what it fetches is people groups. A reader whose
country map failed to load was told the region data failed.
It was wrong in all eleven locales, not just English -- ar reads "بيانات
المناطق", ru "данные по регионам", de "Regionsdaten", all of them regions.
The people-groups sentence was already in the catalogue and already translated
in all eleven, so this adds no string and moves no parity: it is the same
sentence the grid and the other consumers already show when this fetch fails.
Verified in the built bundle rather than the source, because the minifier
rewrites the call: the component's own render now calls the people-groups key,
and the remaining "Region data" occurrences are catalogue entries, which ship
for every key regardless of which one is called. check:i18n-keys-exist passes,
so the key resolves. check:hardcoded-english is unchanged at 257 with
country-map contributing 0, measured before and after.
Generating map sheets in the browser inlined Natural Earth's capitals and cities (170 KB) into every
bundle that can print one: single-file builds inline lazy imports, so the whole page paid for a table
only a reader who prints needs. The tree now serves it beside the boundaries (boundaries/
ne-places.json, one line in generate-tree's copy list; public domain, no credit to carry) and
posterSheets fetches it at the first print, with the boundaries. No asset base, or a failed fetch,
draws no city dots — the generator's own rule for absent data. The Node generator reads the same file
from its source.
Measured: my-upg-100-list 482 -> 432 KB gzipped, country-posters 547 -> 496 KB. check:poster-browser-
equiv still passes byte-identical through makeZoneSheet and generateCountrySheet, which now fetch the
served table — so the fetch path draws the same dots Node does. gates:pre 73/73.
Ten agents read today's branch (five finders, one skeptic per area who had to confirm each finding
against the current code); 21 distinct defects survived. All are fixed here.
Generator and its proof
- generateCountrySheet fed only ADM0, so a country beside India or China printed without their
provinces (Nepal: 251 KB against Node's 921 KB). It loads the full boundary set, as the driver does.
- check:poster-browser-equiv rebuilt its own feed, so it could not see that. It now calls what the
browser calls (makeZoneSheet, generateCountrySheet — Nepal), deletes the target before the Node run,
runs Node with a clean environment, and FAILS (not "not measured") when the Node generator breaks.
Proven two-sided: it fails with the ADM1 fix reverted.
- The facts table's country list sorted in the reader's browser locale; pinned to en-US (Node's
default, so Node's output still hashes to the baseline).
- zone-sheet-print.js imports the library relatively, so bun, Node and the bundler resolve it alike.
Print seams and wiring
- The wall's Poster Map button used its own stored-file fetch and never the generated sheet, so every
country poster 404'd on the published tree; it now prints the generated sheet first.
- Country Posters wall: card stocks passed (its Card Deck could never print), iso3-names passed (zh/ar
page 1 kept English names), the stored fallback reads previews/ (where the tree serves them).
- Card-stock labels render at render time, so a locale change relabels them.
- The records provider caches by language AND list, and does not keep a failed membership load.
- The UPG-100 legend's Card Deck returns quietly on a parent row instead of an evaluator error; the
selection fetch uses PRINT_FIELDS.
Packet
- The centered-set caption counts what is DRAWN (a ring too full to separate reports its remainder).
- Each ring's number lane is sized to its own radius (ring 1 put a dot under its badge).
- Per-box line keeps a decimal below 10 people ("≈ 0" for small lists); worksheet rows name the country;
the localized poster kicker is fitted against the poster's real 19px, not 22.
Plurals and gates
- regions.countryCount / regionCount were authored in English zero|one|other order in de, es, fr, hi, it
and pt, so CLDR picked "27 Land", "1 países". Rewritten in each locale's own order; check:plural-forms
now fails a string in English order (proven on the old German string).
- check:optional-t-equivalence (gates:post) crashed on the new plural fallback's imports; it injects the
real cldrChoiceIndex and asserts the plural path (ru 21/3/5, en 0/1/7).
- check:packets-all and check-packet-render counted people as cards only, so every lightweight packet
read as "a packet of nobody"; worksheet rows count, and the browser gate checks the grid's top fill
(the renamed .lc-frame) instead of the retired scatter. check:packet-variants now reads the grid itself
— 5,200 boxes, Jesus' 1,716 from the top, the % shading from the top — proven: it fails on a renderer
that shades the last boxes.
gates:pre 68/68, check:optional-t-equivalence PASS, both bundles build.
The Driver's print standard: every export is generated when it is asked for, and only previews are
stored. The zone and country map sheets — the poster, and the map-only sheet on a packet's page 1 —
existed only if library/scripts/posters/generate.mjs (Node) had written them ahead of time; no country
had a print-resolution sheet at all.
- library/packet/poster-render.js is generate.mjs's drawing layer (2,645 lines) as a pure factory,
createPosterGenerator({ env, SERIES_DEF, ISO3_NAME, adm0, adm1Ind, adm1Chn, nePlaces, series }). Moved
VERBATIM (template literals carry their whitespace into the output), `process.env` read through a
local shadow; its inputs are its free variables, found by a scope-aware parse, not a grep (a grep
missed adm0, and the proof caught it). generate.mjs is now its Node driver.
- PROVEN BYTE-IDENTICAL: all 118 sheets of a pinned offline matrix — the 28 zones in 3x4, 3x3, letter
and packet, and a country sample at both sheet sizes — hash the same before and after.
- data/zone-sheet.js is which group pins in which zone (first claim wins), now ONE function both the
Node driver and the browser call, so a group cannot pin in one zone on paper and another on screen.
- library/packet/posterSheets.js feeds the factory in the browser: the served full-resolution
boundaries, the shared series and places tables, a generator per call (caching by format pinned the
first caller's data on every later sheet). generateCountrySheet does a country end to end;
data/zone-sheet-print.js a UPG-100 zone. ISO3_NAME moves to library/data (territory-counts re-exports).
- usePosterPrints gains opts.sheet: the poster print is the generated letter sheet as a VECTOR page,
and the packet's page 1 the generated map-only sheet (item.mapId honoured); stored images remain the
fallback when generation fails. PosterWall forwards it; the Country Posters wall, the UPG-100 wall and
the UPG-100 map pass it. The UPG-100 wall and map drop their own record fetches for the shared
provider, and the map's legend and selection HUD offer the card deck (production).
- check:poster-browser-equiv: the browser feed's sheet is byte-identical to the Node generator's for an
India zone (packet) and a country — proven two-sided (it fails when the feed drops the city dots).
check:selection-kinds reads the handler's branches instead of a fixed poster/packet pair, anchored on
`if (` (proven: it fails with the cards branch deleted). library/packet/README.md: the standard.
gates:pre 68/68; both bundles build.
check:optional-t-equivalence evaluates useOptionalT.js on its own, with its
imports stripped and tStatic and useI18n handed in. The composable now also
imports getRuntimeLocale and cldrChoiceIndex, so every section died with a
ReferenceError. The gate now hands in a bare host's getRuntimeLocale and the
shipped cldrChoiceIndex, lifted from library/i18n/index.js's own text; its
import control accepts tStatic among several names, but still only from
'@map/i18n/index.js' (a catalogue import of the module's own still fails).
check:frozen-labels caught the research filters' new search placeholder:
tStatic inside a computed that reads no locale never re-runs, so the
placeholder stayed in the boot language. It now reads and passes
locale.value, like the search chip in the same file.
- The legend's packet submenu emits 'packet:full' | 'packet:lightweight', and the country map compared
against a bare 'packet', so its legend Packet export did nothing at all. It splits the kind first, as
the UPG-100 map's handler does (the research map carries the same three lines; reported to its owner).
- The selection's rows come from the print standard's records provider by slug (full print fields,
the reader's language); the rows mapped by hand put the country's NAME in country_code and carried no
language, so every profile description ran short. They remain as the fallback. The live map's raster
goes in through the mapImage seam, so page 1 is the map full page.
- The legend gains an OPT-IN Card Deck export (exportCards; provide('legendExportCards') for the mobile
sheet), so a map that does not handle it never shows a dead item.
- library/print/experimentalExports.js is the ONE switch for rolling the standard's exports out on
maps that are not production print surfaces (production: the UPG 100 list, the Regions dashboard's
country posters, the Country Posters wall). This map's card deck sits behind it; off — per page, per
visit (?exports=off), per site or everywhere — restores the menu it had before.
- The records provider returns coordinates (a generated map's pins), exposes the unselected set
(recordsFor.all) and sorts in the reader's collation.
Eighteen keys across eleven locales for text that was written in English in
the components: the rail and filter toggles, the selection count, the CSV
export toast, the drawer's prayer and information links, the dashboard
title, the map's failure message, and the four search placeholders that name
the tiers of whichever tab is open.
The export toast is interpolated rather than concatenated. Its counts keep
going through fmt(), which groups digits the way each locale does, and only
the words around them come from the catalogue — the order of "rows",
"fields" and the outcome is not the same in every language, so a sentence
built by joining fragments cannot be translated at all. It uses the shared
fillParams, which leaves a placeholder visible when a value is missing
instead of rendering the word "null".
The map's failure message no longer names the token and the container: that
is for the console line, which stays English for whoever is debugging. What
the reader sees says what to do.
Three more shapes the scan could not see, each of them correct code: tStatic
called directly rather than through a wrapper; `config || t(key) || English`,
where the translator is not the immediate left operand because || is
left-associative; and the licence credits, media queries and product name
that must not be translated at all.
Own leaks 91 -> 1, the last being a tab label behind a key that resolves in
all eleven locales. Fleet 249 -> 159. check:i18n-parity,
never-translated, treeshake and stopped-scope all pass.
The legend emits 'packet:full' or 'packet:lightweight' — it widened its
existing event rather than adding a second one — and this router still
tested the whole string for 'packet'. Neither submenu item matched any
branch, so the Packet export opened nothing, logged nothing, and looked
like a menu item nobody had wired. Found by upg100, who had already hit
the same thing in its own copy.
The kind is split before it is compared, the way upg-100-list does it, and
a bare 'packet' still means the full packet so an older emitter keeps
working. The variant then has to survive the call as well: openPacket
ignored it and printPacket defaults to full, so lightweight would have
printed the full packet even once the menu fired.
The gate asserts the seam rather than one file — it reads the kinds the
legend actually emits and requires every consumer to split before
comparing, because this bug cannot be seen by reading either side alone.
It currently fails on country-posters/countries-map.vue, which has the
identical dead menu and is not mine to change.
Two fixes to the check itself while writing it: a fixed-size window read
only part of a long router and reported correct code as broken, so the
function's extent is found by brace depth; and a trailing \b after a
quoted literal never matches, which made the assertion fire on every
consumer including the working ones.
The legend gives each tab a small "i" button explaining what that tier
means — what an Affinity Block is, how a people group differs from a people
group in a country. SemanticTreeLegend already read that text from
legend.tabInfo.<id> behind a te() guard, and not one of the ten keys the
research map needs had ever been written. The tab chips were translated in
all eleven locales and the explanations beside them were not, so the reader
least able to guess what "PGIC" means was the one reader who got it in
English.
The keys are written for all eleven locales, following the terminology each
catalogue already uses for these same tiers — People Group as Volksgruppe,
Peuple, Pueblo, 民族, Народ, जनसमूह — with WAGF and UPG left untransliterated
as the corpus leaves them. The reader-facing text drops the source field
names and row counts that the English carried; those are notes for whoever
maintains the tables, so they stay in the source as a comment.
With the keys in place the English in the tab tables can never render, and
a second copy of a string drifts from the catalogue without anyone noticing,
so it is removed. `info: true` stays because the legend gates the "i" button
on that field being set — dropping it would have removed the affordance
instead of translating it — and tabInfo now treats only a string as a
fallback, so the flag cannot reach the popover as the word "true".
Verified every changed tab renders a real label and a real explanation in
all eleven locales. check:i18n-parity, check:i18n-never-translated and
check:i18n-treeshake pass; hardcoded-english 205 -> 190.
The country wall passed no records, so each of its 175 cards offered only the poster and said the
prayer list was "coming soon", while the people groups were one request away. library/lists/
peopleGroupRecords.js is the records half of the print standard: one people-groups fetch per language
(normalised the way the prints read rows, list membership applied), then a SELECTOR picks the set — a
country by ISO3, explicit slugs, any field, or a host's own selector language. A selector nobody
understands selects nothing rather than every group on earth, and a failed fetch is not cached.
The country wall uses it by ISO3, so every country now prints the list, the deck (all five stocks) and
the full or lightweight packet. The packet's page 1 is, for now, the country's stored poster when it is
really there; the in-browser map generator will replace that.
check:people-group-records asserts the selection two-sided with an injected fetch; registered in
gates:pre.
Rudder was measured slowing after about 1,400 words while a Tauri build
ran. The word count is incidental — it is a proxy for how long the build had
been going. The speech model runs on the CPU (backend/rudder-engine starts it
with --device cpu), and a Rust build saturates every core, so at equal priority
it starves the one process whose latency a person can hear.
Three changes, and the direction of the first is forced rather than chosen:
1. internal/desktop-build.mjs nices the whole build tree to 10, through the one
run() helper every step goes through, so cargo, rustc and the linker inherit
it. We nice the COMPETITOR because an unprivileged process cannot raise its
own priority on Linux — a negative nice needs CAP_SYS_NICE — so "promote the
ASR" would fail with EPERM. If nice(1) is missing the build still runs and
says so, because a silent fallback would look exactly like the fix working.
2. cargo is capped at cores-1. nice decides who wins a CONTESTED core; it does
not stop the build taking all of them, and a fully subscribed machine still
adds scheduling latency to the audio path. An explicit CARGO_BUILD_JOBS is
honoured rather than overridden.
3. yieldCPU reports its error instead of discarding it. It was
`_ = syscall.Setpriority(...)`, which cannot fail visibly — a call that
silently does nothing is indistinguishable from one that worked, and this one
guards something audible.
Also, one real O(n) in the widget, found while checking studio's answer that the
collapsed pill already shows the last words: sendActivity split the ENTIRE draft
on every activity tick to take five words. Measured at 3,000 words: 1.61ms per
tick against 0.051ms for a bounded tail, 31x, with byte-identical output.
Verify the priority work with `ps -o ni=` on the running cargo processes, never
by any of these calls returning.
The list kept its own page-1 map lift (packetMapSvg + packetLabelFor) beside the one in
usePosterPrints, and the two drifted: the list's relabelled country names, the wall's did not, which
is the zh finding rega made in the app. With the composable now taking iso3Names, the list passes it
and deletes its copy, so the list, the wall and any other map print page 1 through one path.
The selection packet borrowed one list's sheet when it held exactly one list. That is now a general
seam: item.mapId names the sheet when it is not the item's own id, and mapId: null says the item has
none, so a multi-zone selection fetches nothing and page 1 says the map is missing. Measured two-sided
through the real printPacket. gates:pre 66/66.
The i18n + RTL audit of Country Posters (the hardcoded-English gate only reads production plugins,
so it had never read this one; its scanner was run on the plugin directly and every hit triaged for
reachability, since the country map mounts one tab):
- 9 strings a reader sees were English in every locale: the search placeholder, the packet title's
"— 50 of N", the map-failed message, the wall's heading, tag, intro, soon message and item nouns,
and the view switcher's legend and label. All read from the catalogue now, reusing the existing
keys where they exist (tabs.selectView/views, the UPG-100 wall's tag and emphasis).
- The wall's section headings are the WAGF region labels in the data, English everywhere; they now
resolve through the Regions dashboard's own WAGF table, which gains its two missing regions.
- The three WAGF tier tooltips had no keys in any locale (legend.tabInfo.region/block/country).
- 0 physical-CSS findings.
PosterWall counted "N countries" as a number plus a 2-form noun pair and defaulted the plural to
noun + "s" — wrong for Russian and Arabic whatever strings it was given. It takes itemCountKey, a
plural catalogue key rendered with the count; useOptionalT forwards a plural count to vue-i18n (the
CLDR map picks ru 4 forms, ar 6, zh 1), and a host without i18n picks the English form by
vue-i18n's own rule. The people-group counts on the section heads and placeholder cards use
wall.peopleGroupCount the same way ("people groups" was hardcoded English on the cards).
The UPG-100 wall: its Americas and Europe section headings had no key (single words, invisible to
the gate), and it counts its lists with wall.listCount.
Checked: plural-forms, i18n-parity, keys-exist, never-translated, and i18n-treeshake against both
bundles built (26 bundles carry every area they ask for); gates:pre 66/66.
The list's own print relabelled the map sheet (mapLabels.js); the wall's print, through
usePosterPrints, lifted the sheet with no relabeller, so a zh packet printed from the wall kept
INDIA, CHINA … on page 1. The generator's ISO3 -> name table is plugin data the library cannot
import, so the host now supplies it: PosterWall iso3Names -> usePosterPrints iso3Names, and the
UPG-100 wall passes its territory-counts table lazily. A host that passes nothing prints exactly as
before. Measured two-sided through the real printPacket on a tracked sheet: without the table the
page carries CHINA and no 中国; with it, 中国 and no CHINA.
rega at 390 px: wrapped, the view tabs took five rows (160 px of 844), and the shared 'Tap a coloured dot, someone still needs prayer' hint sat on top of the view's own bottom bar and attribution. On a phone the views are one select in one row (the tabs stay on a wide screen); pinHint is off, as for UPG Neighbor and the Wall.
Measured on the live list: 77 photos are 1024 x 1024 (4 MB each decoded) and drawImage downscaled each of them on every frame it was visible. A loaded photo is now kept at 320 px on its long side (createImageBitmap with resize, or one drawImage into a small canvas where that is missing), and the original is released; the print frame loads the originals itself. Below text zoom no card is measured (the photo box uses an estimate), and at text zoom at most 150 new cards are measured per frame. The overlay's sheets use content-visibility:auto. The host hook reports the counts (photos loaded, thumbnails, fallbacks, cards measured) for the performance probes.
The brief's three sizes. At 3 x 4 and 2 x 3 ft a verse under each of ~2,100 cards would print at 3 pt and 2 pt, so those sizes use the strip layout: cards of name and photo, and one blessing verse per row on a strip under it at 9 pt (33 and 34 verses). 5 x 8 ft keeps a verse under every card at 6 pt. The footer's height now comes from its text (the whole passages), with the journey never below 6 pt; the screen shows the strips as it shows the rest of the poster.
The priestly blessing is Numbers 6:22-27 in full: the Lord's word to Moses and Aaron in small type, the three blessing lines large, and the promise that closes it. Each station of the journey quotes the passage the brief lists: Genesis 12:1-4, Genesis 15:5-6, Galatians 3:13-14, 1 Peter 2:4-8 (the cornerstone, at the centre), Galatians 3:5-7 and 28-29, 1 Peter 2:9-10, Luke 19:9-10. The chart's New Testament verses name their passages (Matthew 21:21, from 21:18-22; Matthew 8:26, from 8:23-27). All WEB, verbatim, checked by script against ebible.org.
sr's census found item-noun="country", item-noun-plural="countries" and
unit="UPG" passed as literals. All three reach the DOM: PosterWall renders the
noun pair at its section count (n === 1 ? itemNoun : plural) and the unit beside
each row's count, so in Arabic the chrome translated and these stayed English.
The noun pair now goes through t(). Country and Countries were already in the
catalogue in all eleven locales -- Land/Länder, الدولة/الدول, Страна/Страны --
so this adds no strings, and PosterWall keeps making its own singular/plural
choice with the caller supplying both forms, which is what its props are for.
unit stays "UPG" on purpose. It is DX-life's term of art, and their own Arabic
common.json carries the literal "UPG" rather than translating it; matching them
is the point of the port. It is the one entry the census still reports here.
A fourth literal the census did not flag went with them: the prayer-list
"Coming soon" sentence, which reaches exportState.message and so renders too.
That one had no key, so it lands as an English-source key -- the convention
useRegionsI18n exists to serve -- translated in all eleven locales, 77 keys
each, parity green.
MEASURED, this plugin's entries in check:hardcoded-english: 3 before, 1 after.
check:no-new-driver-references went red on development with my landing: the
comment I wrote when removing the SVG download named who set the rule. The gate's
own advice is the fix — the engineering reason is what a reader needs, and it
stands without attribution.
Comment-only: 0 non-comment lines changed, and the minifier strips comments, so
the shipped bundle is byte-unaffected and needs no rebuild. Verified rather than
assumed: the phrase greps 0 in the built artefact either way.
Found by regions, who proved it on bare ced1eb73c before their own cherry-pick
touched anything, and who held their push rather than landing on a red.
regions' fleet audit found the one poster path in the tree that downloaded a
file. The Driver's rule is that a poster action opens the print dialog and never
downloads, and there is no case for an exception here: printPoster builds the
same poster from the same makePoster(), so the download was a second route to one
artefact rather than a capability only it could offer. A reader who needs a file
prints to PDF — the system's own dialog, not a silent write.
The button, the function and the now-unreferenced tree.posterSvg key in all
eleven locales are gone. The comment left in its place names check:poster-action-
print, which regions is extending with this file as its poison case, so a
download added here again fails a gate rather than shipping quietly.
The two CSV export paths in GiGrid and GiResources are deliberately untouched: a
table has no print equivalent, the export is a documented feature that writes a
header line of sources with the data, and the rule — and that gate's own
description — is about POSTER buttons. Flagged to the shepherd rather than left
for the extended gate to trip over.
A4.3. GiMap and GiTree already default their legends closed and read the host's
`legend: 'open'` knob; the centered set hardcoded ref(true), so it was the one
view whose decoder sat over the drawing from the first frame — on the chart where
seeing the target matters most. That was an inconsistency, not a considered
difference.
Changing the ref alone would have shipped NOTHING: applyWidth ran on mount and
set legendOpen back to `!m.matches`, so at any desktop width it reopened
immediately. The bug was in the width rule, not the initial value. Width now only
ever CLOSES the legend — a wide window is not a request to cover the chart, it is
just the absence of the reason to force it shut — and a choice the reader has
made still wins outright.
Checked as a state machine over the cases that matter: desktop with no host knob
closed, desktop with legend:'open' open, phone closed, phone→desktop stays
closed, and a reader who opens it keeps it through a rotation and a resize.
The Driver: "it shows some words … but it keeps RESIZING, kind of distracting …
it should stay the same width and stop resizing".
The intent was already here — a fixed width while listening, with the text cut to
33 characters — but neither half held. The bubble is inline-flex, so it sizes to
its content wherever `width` loses, and it carries a max-width that the <=480px
query overrides, which is exactly the phone case he was looking at. Truncating by
CHARACTER cannot stabilise it either: 33 characters is about 133px of "illi" and
about 344px of "MMM WOW", so the same count is a 200px swing.
width, min-width and max-width are now pinned to the same value while recording,
at both breakpoints, so no later rule and no viewport lets the pill grow or
shrink; the text ellipsises inside a box that no longer moves.
studio's file: sent as a hunk for them to land, not landed here.
The Driver, expanded on a phone: "a lot of header space … fills the entire page …
I can't scroll down in the text area and see everything".
The panel is capped at 60vh here and .draft carried min-height:180px (240px
elsewhere). A MINIMUM is the wrong tool for that: it makes the box refuse to
shrink, so whatever the header takes is pushed off the bottom and the draft's own
scrollbar never appears — the text is there and unreachable. An earlier attempt
had already lowered 240 to 180, which only moved the threshold rather than
removing it, and is why the symptom survived.
The column now owns the height and the draft takes what is left. min-height:0 is
the load-bearing part: without it a flex child will not shrink below its content,
which is the same reason the old minimum failed. The draft scrolls inside its
share, and the header gives back space — tighter row gap, smaller name and status
pill — since "a lot of header space" was the other half of what he saw.
The Driver measured Rudder slowing "after about 1,400 words while a Tauri build
ran". The word count is incidental — it is a proxy for how long the build had
been going. The speech model runs on the CPU (backend/rudder-engine starts it
with --device cpu), and a Rust build saturates every core, so at equal priority
it starves the one process whose latency a person can hear.
Three changes, and the direction of the first is forced rather than chosen:
1. internal/desktop-build.mjs nices the whole build tree to 10, through the one
run() helper every step goes through, so cargo, rustc and the linker inherit
it. We nice the COMPETITOR because an unprivileged process cannot raise its
own priority on Linux — a negative nice needs CAP_SYS_NICE — so "promote the
ASR" would fail with EPERM. If nice(1) is missing the build still runs and
says so, because a silent fallback would look exactly like the fix working.
2. cargo is capped at cores-1. nice decides who wins a CONTESTED core; it does
not stop the build taking all of them, and a fully subscribed machine still
adds scheduling latency to the audio path. An explicit CARGO_BUILD_JOBS is
honoured rather than overridden.
3. yieldCPU reports its error instead of discarding it. It was
`_ = syscall.Setpriority(...)`, which cannot fail visibly — a call that
silently does nothing is indistinguishable from one that worked, and this one
guards something audible.
Also, one real O(n) in the widget, found while checking studio's answer that the
collapsed pill already shows the last words: sendActivity split the ENTIRE draft
on every activity tick to take five words. Measured at 3,000 words: 1.61ms per
tick against 0.051ms for a bounded tail, 31x, with byte-identical output.
Verify the priority work with `ps -o ni=` on the running cargo processes, never
by any of these calls returning.
One hundred and forty-three comments across the research dashboard, the research
map, Big Picture and the two composites attributed a decision to a person: by
name, by quotation, by date, or as "per Driver". Shipped code should carry the
reason a thing is the way it is, not who said so. A reader of the giveaway repo
has no way to ask that person anything, and the name tells them nothing the
reason does not.
So a quotation becomes the requirement it was quoting, a ruling becomes the
ruling, "the Driver reported" becomes what was reported, and a decision still
waiting on an answer now reads as provisional and pending a product decision
rather than as somebody's pending word. Where a comment already stated the
reason -- most of them did -- only the attribution went.
Two things were removed rather than rewritten. A personal medical fact appeared
twice ("the Driver is photosensitive"), once in a comment and once in a gate's
console output where it printed on every run; the motion-safety requirement
stands on its own and now reads that readers may be photosensitive. Internal card
ids that named nobody stayed, since they point at this repo's own history.
The bulk went in three batched passes of meaning-preserving substitutions, and
that is where the risk was: a blind replacement produces sentences that are
grammatically wrong but still look plausible in a diff. Re-reading every changed
line found thirteen -- "the the report describes", "including the two that were
had just complained about", "because was asked for WHITE rings" -- each repaired
individually. The count of remaining references caught the tail three separate
times, when a file type, an escaped apostrophe, and a scripts/ path each fell
outside a filter I had assumed was total.
Comment bodies and two console strings only. All twenty-one files parse, both
meta.json files are still valid JSON, and no declaration moved.
Five comments in the shipped research dashboard cited _qa-cycle documents by
path: three RESEARCH write-ups, one REFERENCE standard, and one scratch probe.
Those files do not ship. A reader of the built plugin gets a path they cannot
open, and the reasoning it was standing in for is lost to them.
In every case the durable finding was already written out directly above the
citation, which was only ever a trailing "and here is where that came from". So
each now ends on the finding itself and the path is gone: that a comfort-tuned
palette anaesthetises the response the map exists to provoke; that a casing which
scales with zoom is what stops dense low-zoom rings swallowing their own fill;
that the real fix for pin contrast is the lightness-conditional stroke, which
holds whichever ramp is selected; and that the palette values come from the live
site rather than being re-invented, which is what stops an embedded dashboard
reading cooler than the page hosting it.
The scratch probe became the METHOD rather than a filename, since a probe is
worth citing only for what it does: contrast every ramp stop against all three
pin targets under both CVD simulations, and re-solve composited over the real
basemap. Compositing over pure white is what made two handed-over candidates
look like they passed, and that is the part a future reader needs.
Comment-only: no declaration moved, and all three files still parse.
The rule: never quote or cite the Driver in shipped code. Every one of these
comments had a real engineering reason attached, and the reason is what a future
reader needs — so the reason stays and the attribution goes.
COUNT IS THE CHECK: 31 before, 0 after, across 8 files.
I was pointed at 18 in region-dashboards. That was one file. Sweeping my own area
as instructed found 31 in eight files: region-dashboards 7, RegionCountryMap 13,
regions-list 5, UupgsList 2, plus regions-mfe.vue, regions-mfe.meta.json,
index.js and check-regions-uses-library.mjs with one each. Reporting the wider
number rather than the one I was given.
HOW EACH WAS REWRITTEN, by kind:
· a REPORTED SYMPTOM keeps the symptom, loses the reporter — "the pins were
reported too small at rest", "the list page was reported slow, with the
posters suspected", "instead of flying to the region, which is exactly the
reported symptom".
· a REQUIREMENT becomes a requirement — the region key is "a map that shows the
regions and countries AND lets a reader select one" rather than a quotation;
the missing fullscreen and zoom controls are "part of the cloned surface"
rather than someone's complaint about a full clone.
· an OPEN DECISION becomes provisional. Two of these: the stat-card divergence
from RegionDetail.vue:176 is now "carried back as a product question", and
the numeral-grouping parity reads "PROVISIONAL, pending a product decision"
instead of waiting on a named person's ruling.
· a CARD ID goes with the name: BUILD-REGIONS-MAP-RESTORE-EDGE-SCROLL-STRIPS
and the round-2 test numbering are internal handles that mean nothing to a
reader of a published bundle.
· a SCOPE RULING is stated as scope: "improve the map's LOOK and add the
all-regions map, which must be intuitive" — the constraint survives, the
quotation does not.
Nothing lost that a reader needs: every measurement, pixel value, file:line
citation into DX-life's source and engine-specific caveat is untouched. What went
is a name, four dates and two internal ids.
SAME PROOF AS THE CITATION COMMIT, because a prose sweep across eight files is
exactly where a stray edit hides:
· the only non-comment changes are an HTML comment in a template and the "note"
field of regions-mfe.meta.json — and `note` is read by nothing: generate-tree
never touches it, and the string does not appear in the built manifest.
· meta.json still parses.
· rebuilding regions-dashboard and country-map reproduces the committed bytes
EXACTLY, and a full `bun run tree` leaves public/ clean — so NO bundle needs
rebuilding for this.
· gates:pre 66/66.
gospel's citation rule, applied to mine: a comment citing a PROBE or MEASUREMENT
(_probe-*, _chk-*) states the FINDING and drops the path. A reader cannot open
_qa-cycle from a published bundle, and the path outlives the file — so the number
has to be in the comment or it is lost.
FOUR CITATIONS, all of the probe kind, so all get the same treatment. Every one
already carried its finding; only the dead path is removed:
RegionCountryMap:36 three engineFor implementations "decide identically in
every engine combination" — now says WHICH combinations
were checked (mapbox-only, maplibre-only, both globals
present) rather than naming the script that checked them.
RegionCountryMap:462 the globe-fill measurement keeps its numbers (zoom 1.229
-> 390.61px = 50.1% of the frame, half the frame dead
space) and loses the probe path.
RegionCountryMap:552 the fit-at-construction comparison keeps both readings
(bounds-at-construction zoom 3.210 / mercator at t=0 vs
fitBounds zoom 2.777 / globe) and the engine version.
region-dashboards:522 "4 of 10 app properties OK", with the five failures that
were one missing thing already spelled out below it.
I did NOT only fix the one line I was pointed at: I swept my own plugin files,
the six library files I own or moved this session, and the seven gates I wrote.
Four citations total, all in these two files; the gates and the other library
files carry none.
COMMENTS ONLY, and proved rather than asserted: the diff filtered to non-comment
lines is empty; check:ported-globals-identical still reports 4/4 byte-identical
emitted CSS; and rebuilding regions-dashboard and country-map reproduces the
committed bytes exactly — comments are stripped at build, so NO bundle needs
rebuilding for this and public/ stays untouched. gates:pre 66/66.
scripts/strip-code.mjs:5 is deliberately left alone: per the same ruling it
explains why a committed gate cannot import from the scratch area, which is a
fact about the boundary rather than a citation across it.
Seven comments in the library and the app pointed at probes, checks, a report or research notes that
live outside the repository, where a reader of the code cannot follow them. Each now states what was
found and drops the path: the engine-predicate equivalence, the chooser's globe-fill measurement, the
fit-at-construction probe, the worldview clause, the web-boundaries sizes (1,866 KB to 383 KB, every
feature and part kept). The QA corner and the packet generator lose a dead pointer. The app's nav
comment states the three sections and the third dashboard directly instead of quoting a transcript.
rega at 390 px: the tab strip ran past the right edge with no scroll cue, and the flat legend's collapse button measured 19×15 with an English title in every locale. On a phone the tabs wrap (the brand steps aside); the button is 24 px and named by the shared aria keys.
rega measured the header at 390 px: one row, so the title wrapped to five lines and the poster-size select (x=393) and the Bless/Social toggle (x=553) ran off the edge, unreachable. On a phone the title takes one short line and the controls wrap onto rows.
The README described fit and fill-all qualitatively but never said what choosing
one costs, which is the number a reader deciding between them needs: on the
default list, fit draws 931 of 2,074 groups and reports the other 1,143, while
fill-all draws all 2,074 with none outside its band and none under a label.
It also records the evidence for WHY this is a mode rather than a setting: 931 at
separation 7, 1,369 at 5, and 1,369 again at 4. That plateau is what shows the
band's depth is binding and not the spacing, and without it the next reader will
reasonably try to tune the number that cannot help.
Every figure here was re-measured against the shipped tables through the
component's own join before being written down, because a stale number in a
README is worse than no number: it reads as fact and nobody re-checks it.
Seven comments across six files pointed at SPEC-GOSPEL-INTERNET-DASHBOARD, which
lives only in _qa-cycle: never cloned, never published. A reader of the public
source met a citation they could not follow, which is worse than no citation —
it implies the reasoning is written down somewhere they may look for.
The durable part is now plugin-designs/gospel-internet/README.md, written as
BUILT rather than as specced: the views and their shared URL state, the list
model and its fail-closed rule, the two set charts (rings, bands, the label
keep-out, fit vs fill-all and why band depth is the binding constraint), why the
charts fit their box, the data joins, the columns, and the gates that guard each
of those. Section 13's honesty rules are carried over close to verbatim, because
they are constraints on the product and not notes: pins are approximate, never
"reached", never who works where, internet figures are the country's, public data
only.
Two citations did not become README links, deliberately. The facet rail's quoted
a design INSTRUCTION ("comes from the kit; do not re-implement"), so the
instruction is kept and only the unreachable document name dropped — inventing a
README section to host it would be citing myself. board.meta.json's and the
instances file's now point at the README section that actually describes the
URL-state behaviour they depend on.
The instances file is edited through the JSON parser: my first attempt did string
surgery and put unescaped double quotes inside a string value, which JSON.parse
caught before it could ship.
STAGED, NOT FLIPPED. SET_FILL_MODE in GiCenteredSetMap is 'fit' — today's
behaviour, unchanged — with the alternative named beside it so the ruling is one
line and a rebuild. 'fit' is not a placeholder: it is the honest mode for a page
that cannot zoom, so the POSTER should keep it whatever the screen chooses.
The binding constraint is recorded there because it is not obvious from the
numbers: separation can never fall below twice the pin floor (5.2), and an
18.5-unit band therefore holds at most three rows, so no minSep reaches ring 2's
658 groups. minSep 7 places 931 of 2,074; minSep 5 places 1,369; minSep 4 places
1,369 — identical, which is what proves depth rather than separation is binding.
'fill-all' places all 2,074 with none under a label and ring 2 using 18 rows.
THE CAPTION states the TRUE total — the groups that have a ring — not the number
of pins currently drawn. In the dense mode the same groups read as an arc of
colour zoomed out and as separate pins zoomed in, so a caption counting what is
visible would change as the reader moved: true at every instant and misleading
overall. It joins the paragraph that already accounts for the centre, the
no-relation groups and the unmatched ones, so those four numbers reconcile
instead of competing.
centered.shown added in all eleven locales; parity and keys-exist pass, and
hardcoded-english did not rise (257, and that fall is studio's, not mine).
Bless mode is the printable poster (a verse under every group, sizes, Print HD poster) and Social mode the shared prayer wall; the texts use each locale's own button names. UPG Neighbor's entry is removed: it has no hosted "?" (its own How it works is its explainer), so the entry showed nowhere and could only drift.
Its header cited research notes in a folder that is not part of the repository, named an internal
directive, and quoted a reader's complaint. It keeps the reasoning and the list of what was copied.
On a narrow screen the list used to be display:none, so a walker could not see, select, rename or delete a zone there. It is now a drawer over the map from the reading-end edge (right in English, left in Arabic), behind a ☰ Zones (n) button that leads the toolbar; a tap outside, × or Escape closes it and focus returns to the button. On a wide screen it is the sidebar as before, its border now on the reading side. Two words in the planner's own 11-locale strings: zones, closeZones.
The feature-state approach left an invisible twin per DOXA group (2,616 circles drawn at alpha 0, and counted by queryRenderedFeatures). When the DOXA set arrives the base is re-sent once, slim (1.25 MB, not the old 3.7 MB), without the DOXA rows; the black pins stay on their own top layer. Popup fields and counts unchanged.
check:descriptions failed on development: country-map.vue had a rich prose header
and no @description TAG, which extracts to an empty string. My header explained
at length why the bundle exists and never said, in one line, what it IS — so the
plugin-studio, the gallery and the SPA's rail had nothing to show a reader.
The tag matters more than the prose: generate-tree matches
/^\s*\*\s*@([\w-]+)\s+(.+?)\s*$/gm, so a paragraph with no asterisked tag is
invisible to it. Verified the text reaches the BUILT manifest, not just the
source, since the manifest is what the gate and every consumer read.
37 of 37 profiles now described. country-map rebuilt, tree and SRI refreshed.
One sha instead of two, per the shepherd: both branches fixed the SAME
regions-list rule, because a gate is useless on a tree where its poison case is
still live. Landing them separately would have applied that fix twice.
★ I HAD CLAIMED THE TWO COPIES WERE IDENTICAL. They were not — I checked before
folding rather than after, and the hashes differed. The CODE line is the same in
both (`cyrillicHeading('.rl-title')`, one occurrence each); only the explanatory
comment differed. I kept the css-dangling wording because it names the arm that
now catches the bug, which is what the next reader needs. The emitted CSS is
unchanged either way — comments are not CSS — and the byte-compare baseline still
passes, which is the assertion that would have caught me if I were wrong.
WHAT THIS SHA CARRIES, both halves verified after combining rather than assumed:
THE MIGRATION (was 4a4bc96fc). The harness stub's `.value` is now the empty
string, so an injected-config read and a locale interpolation both behave as
they do in the browser. Measured components 2 -> 4, no NOT MEASURED left.
region-dashboards is byte-identical (a pure de-duplication); regions-list
changed because its old bytes were the bug, so its baseline was re-taken.
strongMedium() deliberately NOT adopted — the helper emits bare `strong{...}`
where region-dashboards scopes `.rd-root strong{...}`, and swapping would widen
the rule.
THE GATE (was 023ca2d08). check:shadow-css-parses now fails on a selector that
never receives a block, gated on `endsLiteral` — the LAST fragment — rather than
on `complete`, which is false for nearly every sheet here and therefore
suppressed the very bug the arm was written for. Four self-tests live in the
file: the exact regions-list string is caught, a last rule WITH a block is not,
a trailing comment is not, whitespace is not.
Re-verified on the combined tree: ported-globals 4/4 byte-identical, shadow-css
80/80, the poison case still produces exactly 1 dangling hit when reintroduced,
gates:pre 56/56, and the broken form is absent from the shipped minified bundle.
gates:post had gone red on development in three places that no landing runs, because landings run
gates:pre. The library index and the capability-exemplars table are derived documents: regenerated,
they now list the country-map bundle, BackToTopButton and useHostedHelp. check:no-free-identifiers
flagged the Wall's new Path2D (a canvas built-in every browser has) as never bound; it knows the
canvas built-ins now. No code changes.
upg100's harness recorded my two files as NOT MEASURED because its stubs threw on
them. Both were FIDELITY gaps — the stub modelled states that cannot occur — so
they are fixed by making the stub more like the browser, never by relaxing a
comparison:
· `.value` was undefined, so a component reading an INJECTED ref threw
"Cannot read properties of undefined" (region-dashboards.vue:199,
cfg.value.regionSlug — ProfileLoader always provides that object).
· the stub threw on ANY string coercion, because a Proxy over a function has no
primitive conversion. That alone produced regions-list's "Cannot convert
object to primitive value".
`.value` is now the EMPTY STRING, which is the one shape that serves both real
cases honestly: a locale ref's .value IS a string, so `${locale.value || 'en'}`
correctly yields 'en'; and reading a property off '' returns undefined instead of
throwing, so an injected-config read falls through its own `|| ''` exactly as in
the browser. Symbol.toPrimitive makes any remaining stub render empty.
Measured components: 2 -> 4, with no NOT MEASURED left.
★ AND THE MIGRATION FOUND A REAL BUG, which is the part worth reading.
regions-list's Cyrillic heading rule ended with a trailing comma and NO
declaration block, so the concatenation emitted:
[lang="ru"] .rl-title, [lang="ru-RU"] .rl-title,regions-list
A selector list with nothing to apply — the Russian heading font was silently
never applied — AND it swallowed useShadowStyles' style-id argument as CSS,
leaving that sheet unlabelled. Braces stayed balanced, so
check:shadow-css-parses could not see it, and it passed 80/80 both before and
after. cyrillicHeading('.rl-title') replaces it and emits a real rule.
SO THE BYTE-COMPARE SPLITS, deliberately, and I did not paper over it:
region-dashboards.vue IDENTICAL — cyrillicHeading('.rd-title','.rd-h2')
emits exactly the literal it replaced, verified
character-for-character before the swap. A pure
de-duplication.
regions-list.vue CHANGED, and the change IS the fix. The old bytes were
the bug, so its baseline is re-taken rather than
preserved. Preserving it would have pinned a broken
rule forever, which is the one thing a byte-identical
gate must not be used for.
NOT MIGRATED, on purpose: strongMedium(). The helper emits bare `strong{...}`
while region-dashboards emits `.rd-root strong{...}` — a narrower selector.
Swapping it would widen the rule to every <strong> in the shadow root, a
behaviour change disguised as a de-duplication. scrollbarGutter() is likewise
left inline: both files carry it inside a larger .rd-scroll/.rl-scroll rule, not
as a standalone declaration the helper could replace.
Both files now gated (owned:true) instead of recorded-only, so a future edit that
changes their emitted CSS fails rather than being noted.
Two reported mobile bugs (DRV1650 #3 and #4), both settled by rega's
measurements at 390x844 on dx-life /research rather than by reading source.
★ #3 — THERE WAS NO BACK-TO-TOP AT ALL, and I had reported otherwise. I said
VerticalTabsLayout already rendered one targeting the active .vtl-host. rega:
ZERO .vtl-host elements in the live build, button.btt ABSENT from the DOM. The
chain: VTL renders .vtl-host only for `mountedElementRows`, which filters rows
carrying an `element` key — and this SPA passes :groups whose rows carry none,
mounting its own .dms-pane panes imperatively. So activeHostEl is null, and the
layout's button correctly renders nothing. That button is for layouts hosting
their own element rows; it is inert for the composition the gallery uses. I had
read the source and not the configuration.
The SPA now renders its own, bound to the ACTIVE .dms-pane — the scroller rega
measured (clientHeight 712, scrollHeight 12,373, overflow-y:auto) while the
document does not scroll at all. The gallery owns both the circle and the
scroller, so no shadow-root walking is needed. Placement reads --map-fab-beside,
published by the layout only while its circle renders, so the arrow sits BESIDE
the circle and falls back to the plain inset where there is none.
BackToTopButton already refuses to appear when its target does not scroll.
The label goes in all ELEVEN of the SPA's locales. Its translate() falls back to
the KEY, so a missing entry would have rendered the literal string "backToTop"
to every reader — en/ar/zh/ru/hi verified, and the Arabic and Chinese strings
are present in the built bundle.
★ #4 — THE REGIONS ATTRIBUTION SITS UNDER THE CIRCLE, and the geometry was not
what I assumed. rega: at 390 the attribution is details.maplibregl-ctrl-attrib in
the BOTTOM-RIGHT container, expanded to 347x44 at (22,791) — nearly the full map
width — so its LEFT END runs under the 44px fab at (12,788), 1,394 px² overlap.
The bottom-left container is EMPTY (0x0), so a bottom-left-only fix would have
changed nothing.
Both bottom containers are lifted off the published --map-fab-clearance under a
767px query, so a standalone leaf or a <doxa-country-map> with no gallery around
it reads the 0px fallback and nothing moves. The existing z-index:3 cannot help:
the circle lives in the layout, outside this shadow root, so the two are
different stacking contexts. Attribution is a LICENCE TERM of the basemap, which
is why this is a fix and not a polish item.
REBASED ONTO 0428f279c BY REPLAYING SOURCE, not by resolving a conflict: the
rebase collided only in generated bundles, where a conflict is never resolvable
by hand. Three files applied clean; RegionCountryMap.vue had MOVED to
library/components/maps in that same round (my own country-map work), so its rule
was re-applied at the new path by hand — a straight patch would have failed with
"No such file or directory", which is exactly what studio would have hit.
country-map, regions-dashboard and doxa-maps-spa rebuilt; both fixes verified in
the shipped minified bundles, including the new country-map bundle that now
inherits the lift.
NOT PROVEN HERE: the headless DOM proof needs a browser (rega's seat). What I
verified is that the button, its scoped CSS and its ar/zh labels are in the
SHIPPED doxa-maps-spa.js, and the fab lift in both map bundles.
countries-map's print path set the poster's legend from legend.rows, but useLegendData returns items,
never rows, so the renderer got an empty list and page 1's live map printed with no legend. It now
takes the items, with their child tiers flattened in, as research-map's poster does since A1.
check:legend-data-contract FAILED on this file and PASSES now; it goes into gates:pre with this round.
doxa-maps-spa marks the pane of every tab that has explainer text with data-doxa-help, listens for
doxa:help, and opens the same what/how dialog for the active tab. Closing returns focus to the
exact "?" that opened it (composedPath reaches into the map's shadow root). The top-centre button
and its CSS are gone; a comment for the device-rule toast that sat above the old button's rule
is back on its own rule.
check:help-reachable (gates:pre) keeps it reachable: every map with text has a hosted "?" or a
named help control of its own; the app listens, marks its panes and has no top-centre button; and
the composable, executed on a small fake DOM, dispatches doxa:help bubbling and composed and finds
the host across a shadow root. Six planted defects, each caught.
Map controls: prayer-walk-planner (under fullscreen), gospel-internet (the map and the language
tree, the board's default view), country-posters (the country map, its entry profile) and
all-people-groups get the library HelpButton with hosted. Own bars, where there is no control
column: the Wall (after the Bless/Social toggle), the PPLR hub (the end of its view bar) and the
vision card (its top corner, at the end of the reading direction so Arabic mirrors it) use
useHostedHelp. The vision card's label is the library's own "About this map" in each of the
eleven locales, copied into vision.json rather than translated again. UPG Neighbor is left as it
is: its bar already has an About button that opens the full explainer.
Each "?" stays hidden until a host marks its pane, so nothing changes until the app answers.
Each of the 12,379 pins carries only its row's index and one category number (1.25 MB of GeoJSON, was 3.7 MB); the popup reads the row by id, and shows the same fields (checked on 18 pins, 10 of them DOXA, and the four counts). The DOXA recolour no longer rebuilds and re-tiles all 12,379 pins: DOXA pins are a small source of their own on the top layer, and their base twins are hidden by feature-state.
The map sheets are generated once, in English, so in an Arabic or
Chinese packet page 1's map labelled every country in Latin capitals,
and its privacy line was English.
The labels are now replaced as the sheet is lifted into the packet.
They are recognised by the generator's own rule rather than a list:
generate.mjs draws each label as esc(ISO3_NAME[iso3].toUpperCase())
from the zone data's ISO3_NAME table, so inverting that table under
that transform names the country behind every label it can draw. The
inverse is unambiguous (162 labels, no two countries sharing one), so a
label is known exactly or left as drawn. The map's privacy line is word
for word the packet's privacy_note, so it takes this language's.
A width guard: the generator placed every label and then dropped any
that would collide, measuring the English name, so a translation is
fitted into that same box - estimated wider, it shrinks in proportion
and cannot reach a neighbour the English name did not. On the Sudan
poster, six Arabic names shrink (the longest, Saudi Arabia, from 15px
to 10px); none of the narrower Chinese ones do. Capitals' tracking is
dropped for scripts without capitals, where it breaks Arabic joining.
English is untouched: its relabeller is null, and the lifted sheet is
byte-identical with and without it. No sheet or poster is regenerated -
the change is in the lift, so the tracked 3x4 posters page 1 now uses
are relabelled as they are.
Both print paths supply the relabeller: the UPG 100 profile from its
own ISO3_NAME and the library's country-name resolver, the offline
generator from the same table and the injected ISO-3 to ISO-2 table.
check-map-labels (gates:pre), on the tracked Sudan poster: English
byte-identical; in ar and zh no known English name left, halo matching
fill, privacy localized; the guard fires for Arabic, not Chinese, and
grows nothing; Arabic tracking off, Spanish kept; an unknown label left
alone. Mutation-tested five ways, each caught.
The Deaf zone printed "Deaf (affinity bloc A017)" as its title - on
page 1, at the head of every profile page and in the document's own
title. That is the legend's internal label: the unified Deaf row is an
affinity bloc spanning every region, so there is no country to name it
and zone-title.js declined it, leaving the label to print.
An affinity-bloc zone has a name of its own even though it has no
country. zone-title.js now reads it from the packet strings, keyed by
bloc (zone_affinity_A017: "Deaf people groups", in all eleven
languages), so another affinity bloc a list adds is named with one
string and no code. With no strings it still declines and the label
stays - it never invents a name. Both print paths now pass the
language's strings, English per key, the same fallback the renderer
applies.
check-zone-title-tier-a covers the unified Deaf zone, which it never
saw (it enumerates clusters.json entries, where Deaf is two older
lists): the translated name in en/es/ar, never internal text, and a
decline without strings. It now tests with the real packet strings,
which carry the multi-country joiner, so a broken one-country guard
would generate a title and be caught.
Every packet was titled with its zone's hand-written English label, so
a Spanish Sudan packet said "Sudan" and an Arabic one printed Latin
script on page 1, on every profile page's header and in the document's
own title.
A one-country zone's title is that country's name, and Intl supplies it
in every language: the packets now carry it - Sudán, السودان, सूडान,
苏丹 - through zone-title.js's tier A, on both print paths. Every other
zone keeps its hand-written label, since a region's name is not a list
of its countries (tier B and C are a pending product decision). The
selection packet names its cover the same way.
In the browser the title uses the library's country-name resolver; the
offline generator cannot load that module under Node, so it reads the
ISO-3 to ISO-2 table and injects it, the path zone-title.js was built
for. A data set without zone-title.js keeps its labels.
check:zone-title-tier-a was committed unregistered and so never ran; it
is now in gates:pre. Its comments, and zone-title.js's, no longer cite
people or dates.
Measured all 29 zones in en/es/ar with a real country-name supplier
before wiring anything, and the result split cleanly.
A one-country zone generates a correct title in every locale at zero
translation cost: Sudan / Sudán / السودان.
A multi-country zone generates a title WORSE than the hand-written
label it would replace, in English too, so this was never a
localization trade-off:
"Middle East Core" would become "Iran + Yemen + 11 more"
"Scattered / Diaspora" would become "Andorra + Cocos (Keeling)
Islands + 2 more"
and no maxParts rescues it -- 2, 3, 4, 13 just walks toward a full
13-country enumeration. A multi-country zone has a name that is not a
list of its members, so no assembly of country names can produce it.
The generator is correct; the approach does not fit that tier.
The guard is in zone-title.js, not at the caller, because six product
call sites supply this across three surfaces (the legend three times,
posters, packets). A caller-side test would be repeated six times and
would drift the first time one was missed, silently regressing one
surface while the others stayed right.
Tier B now keeps its label through the same null-means-keep-yours path
tier C already used, so this widens an existing contract rather than
adding a new one.
check-zone-title-tier-a.mjs is two-sided on purpose: a gate that only
checked "the 3 generate" would pass a build that also regressed the
other 26. It asserts the 3 produce non-code titles that differ across
locales, AND that every other entry returns null so its label survives
byte-identical -- by value, not by count, since "26 declined" would
pass even if the wrong 26 declined.
Shown capable of failing four ways: removing the guard (the forbidden
regression), declining tier A too, a supplier returning raw codes, and
a supplier ignoring locale. The third exits 75 NOT MEASURED rather than
failing, because a broken supplier makes every zone decline and would
otherwise look like a clean pass.
FULL DETAIL is four front pages, the profiles, four back pages:
map, triangle, life calendar, % evangelical, profiles,
bounded set, centered set, prayer wheel, 12 prayer points.
LIGHTWEIGHT is two front, the profiles, two back:
map, triangle, profiles, prayer wheel, 12 prayer points.
Both are generated from data, in every packet language, from the
browser and from the offline generator.
PAGE 1 - the map, on a vertical page. One lift for every caller
(packet-render.js liftMap): the browser composable, the UPG 100
profile and the offline generator each carried an identical copy of
the old wrapper (250px down, scale 0.62), and three copies of a layout
decision is how page 1 drifts between print paths. The lift prefers
the map-only vertical sheet (mapSheetFiles: <zone>.packet.html, then
the poster) and places it so its names land on the same 60px margin
every other page keeps; a poster falls back fitted under the title at
0.81 rather than 0.62. The title block is drawn after the map, since a
map-only sheet begins with a full-page background. Anything that is not
a map sheet - an icon-sized <svg> from a host that answers a missing
file with a 200 page - is refused, and page 1 says the map is missing.
Page 1 now states which set it belongs to ("One of 28 UPG 100 prayer
lists"), only when the caller supplies the count.
PAGE 2 - one inverted triangle in the Vision Card's look. The card's
steps are the top (every people group, the unreached, the frontier,
the network's list), narrowing to the UPG 100 packets and, at the tip,
this packet. The card's greens, darkening as it narrows, walked
through its own colour stops; every numeral picks white or ink by the
WCAG ratio (all at least 3.4:1, large bold type). Tier widths are
geometric, not proportional - 2,107, 28 and ~100 against 12,379 would
be hairlines - so where two sets truly nest the caption states the
step removed, and the network's list, which does not sit inside
frontier, gets the card's "N of them are frontier" note instead of a
false subtraction. The packets tier and its count appear only when the
caller supplies one.
BACK PAGES - the bounded and centered sets get a page each at twice the
width, under the one page key, so lightweight drops the pair together.
THE WHEEL - the Metacamp Module 1 prayer wheel: its twelve colours,
sampled from the fill operators in the source PDF's content stream; its
orientation, the opening PRAISE at nine o'clock and READ THE WORD at
twelve; white labels with a shadow and a faint outline, so a print
path that drops SVG filters still leaves them legible on the palest
segments; "5 minutes" badges; the attribution with the website. The
labels stay the packet's own rhythm names, translated in every
language and matching the 12 points page.
The offline generator makes both packets (PACKET_VARIANT=lightweight;
the full packet keeps its names, lightweight is <zone>.lightweight and
stamped with its variant).
STRINGS: four new keys, in all eleven blocks - each block's own words
for "packet" and "prayer list", the frontier note aligned to the word
the frontier tier uses on the same page.
GATES: check-packet-a1-structure (registered in gates:pre) reads every
sheet's CONTENT for the order of both variants, page 1's lift in all
four cases, the triangle's tiers and steps, the wheel's colours and
orientation, and all 28 zones. Mutation-tested eleven ways, each caught
by its own message. check-packet-variants now asserts both sets pages
and a four-sheet difference. The browser gate check-packet-render
counted funnel rows and bars by inline-style substrings, which an SVG
triangle has none of - both would have read zero and passed - so it
now counts .funnel-n against .funnel-tier, its sheet arithmetic counts
the sets pages, and its Latin allowlist carries the renamed product
name. check-packet-browser used a copy of the old wrapper; it now uses
the product's lift.
The legend offers 28 zones; every place that turned a picked id back
into a zone spread clusters.json's three geographic buckets, which is
27. The missing one is Deaf, whose two deaf lists the legend collapses
into a single affinity-bloc row. So in the browser, silently:
- the Prayer packet for Deaf returned on "if (!zone) return";
- the Deaf poster titled itself by its slug;
- a selection containing Deaf dropped it in .filter(Boolean);
- the packet count read 27 while 28 packets exist, and that count
prints on page 1 and at the tip of page 2's triangle.
The packet fetch also lacked rop1, the field the Deaf selector reads,
so even a found Deaf zone would have resolved to nobody.
The fix is one enumeration. legend-tree.js now exports DEAF_SELECTOR
(the unified row's selector, which exists nowhere in clusters.json) and
zonesWithSelectors(clusters): the legend's leaves with their selectors
attached. The plugin's printableZones() keeps the 27 catalogue objects
exactly as they were and adds only what the catalogue lacks, so the
packet, poster, selection and count all see the same 28. rop1 joins
both packet fetches.
The three hand-typed copies of the Deaf literal (the map, the poster
generator, the offline packet generator) now import the one
definition; the offline generator's own id-to-selector table is
replaced by zonesWithSelectors. The copies left are frozen snapshots and
proof scripts, which keep independent literals on purpose.
The offline sweep gate's coverage had the same 27: it never required a
Deaf packet. It now counts through the legend.
Verified: the live API carries exactly 123 A017 rows, matching the
legend's Deaf count; the default 3x4 posters for sudan, kerala, deaf
and west-africa are byte-identical before and after.
One landing because it is one bundle: the ring band layout wiring (already on
this branch) plus the three set-fit commits, replayed as SOURCE only. The
generated tree is rebuilt below rather than merged — a previous cherry-pick of
mine swept a conflicted generated file into a commit, and hand-resolving build
output is how that happens.
From set-fit: extentFraction 0.17 -> 0.095 on both charts, so the drawing fits
the height the engine's zoom floor leaves it; crossFeature restored from history
and called by BOTH maps through one shared addCrossLayer; and the ResizeObserver
fit restored, which rega found missing because zoomAtOpen read 1.00 in all eight
chart/layout combinations — too clean to be a fit result.
Two things this merge had to get right, and neither was automatic:
- Taking GiCenteredSetMap.vue wholesale from set-fit silently REMOVED the ring
wiring — bandFill, curvedRingLabels and openAndFrame all went to zero while
every gate still passed. Both feature sets are now in the file together.
- Taking package.json wholesale would have deleted studio's check:ring-bands
registration, including its gates:pre entry, landing a gate nothing runs. It is
rebuilt from development's, with only check:gospel-set-fit added — in all three
places this time: script, gates:pre, and //scripts.
The same interaction as the centered set and as GiTree, so a reader who learns
one chart has learned all three: click a group, its drawer opens and the camera
frames it; reduced motion jumps instead of easing. The centre dish is not a
people group, so it is excluded by tier rather than by id — an id test would
have to know the dish's private name and would break the day it changed.
This chart takes no band layout: its groups are inside or outside one boundary,
not on rings, so bandFill has nothing to spread. Only the interaction is shared.
Wires ringBands into GiCenteredSetMap. layoutCenteredSet still decides WHICH
ring a group belongs on — that model is unchanged and still the source of the
ring numbers — and bandFill then spreads the groups THROUGH each ring's band
instead of placing them all on its circle. Measured on a 90-group sample: ring 5
went from 1 distinct radius (the single line of dots the Driver reported) to 9,
with every group placed and every ring drawing.
The ring labels and the band fill come from one source: curvedRingLabels returns
each label's keep-out arc and bandFill refuses to place a pin inside it, so pins
cannot overlap a label by construction rather than by tuning.
A click on a GROUP now opens that people group and frames it; a click elsewhere
on a ring still selects the ring. The Driver asked for "exactly like the Language
tree", so this is GiTree's path rather than a second version of it: the same
board.openGroup() call, and a camera that mirrors GiTree.frame()'s degenerate-
point branch — a single dot has no extent, so fitBounds would ask for an infinite
zoom; easeTo at the zoom the group tier becomes readable at, and jumpTo under
reduced motion. Both the drawer call and the camera are wrapped: the drawer is
what the reader asked for, and a camera that throws must not take the board down
after it has already opened.
check:ring-bands, gospel-set-charts, gospel-whiteboard, shadow-css-parses and
i18n-keys-exist all pass; both SFCs parse with 0 errors.
A copy of the starter built but never appeared in the Studio, which lists a plugin only when it has a meta.json or an instances.json. The template itself stays off the Studio by its folder NAME (generate-tree SCAFFOLD_BUNDLES, discover.mjs), not by a flag a copy would inherit. The README's copy steps now name the meta.json beside each .vue.
From a green group's brief: the same list as the map, the CSV and the letter (this E-level, closest first, the closest 60, as the cover says), printed by library/composables/usePosterPrints.printPacket with the renderer UPG-100 uses, not a copy. The group set is upg100's pg_slugs shape. Agreed with upg100: the lightweight variant (the %-evangelical page is DOXA-wide today), a triangle of its own (all, unreached, these N; not DOXA's 2,107, which these are not a subset of), and one explicit record adapter (ISO3 country code, the language as a plain label, IMB's GSEC for the how-reached sentence, photos joined from the doxa list by slug when an API is configured).
country-map (the previous commit) moves RegionCountryMap.vue from regions-dashboard/src to
library/components/maps so a page can mount the country map alone. check:region-fill-repaint read the
old path and crashed on the move; it reads the library file now and still PASSes, with the repaint
after setData intact (the move carried the hardening that landed in 608e8ec29). check:universal-props
held the file's fixed en-US population format by its old per-bundle path; the same held decision now
sits on the library file for every bundle that imports it (regions-dashboard and country-map), which
the allowlist permits only for library/. One comment still pointed at src/useRegionsI18n.js.
DX-life's country pages render nothing where a map belongs. The map they need
has been in this repo since the regions clone landed — it was just unreachable
without loading the whole regions dashboard, a bundle that fetches the people
group list, builds four stat cards, a region chooser and a table, none of which
a country page wants. So this is not a new map. It is the same component, given
its own element and its own bundle.
<doxa-country-map profile-config='{"countryCodes":["TCD"],"colorByPrayer":true}'>
RegionCountryMap and useRegionsI18n move to library/ because they now have a
second consumer, which is the only thing that earns a place there. Six import
sites updated in this commit; nothing else moved.
THE CONTRACT arrives through profile-config, the channel every element here
uses, so a generated page and a hand-written host page are configured the same
way: countryCodes, center, zoom, bounds, colorByPrayer, researchUrl,
prayBaseUrl. Two translations happen at the edge rather than by widening the
component — colorByPrayer is a boolean here and colorMode a string inside, and
countryCodes accepts an array OR "TCD,NER,MLI", because an HTML attribute is a
string and JSON-inside-an-attribute is the shape people get wrong.
THE ELEMENT FETCHES ITS OWN PINS, and that is what makes prayBaseUrl part of the
contract rather than decoration. An element handed a country code, a base URL
and no way to fetch would draw a country outline with nothing inside it — the
blank page it exists to fix, in a new disguise. Same endpoint, same fields, same
mapping as the dashboard; it asks for a country instead of the world.
THE FIELD LIST TRAVELS WITH THE MAPPING, in peopleGroupPoints.js. The obvious
version of this commit asks for PEOPLE_GROUP_LIST_FIELDS — the list the stats
need — and every pin still draws, every popup comes up empty, and nothing logs
anything. The popup half is what makes it a map you can read, so the two are
one export and neither can be requested without the other. The dashboard's own
request is unchanged: the concatenation produces the identical string.
countryUrl is additive, not in the confirmed contract. The component's country
link needs a base and DX-life's country pages live under /regions/; a host that
sets nothing gets that documented default.
window.__doxaStudioWidgets keeps the corner hosts across a hot update so a live widget keeps its
state, but a real unmount never released it, so the hosts and every widget element in them stayed
on the page. It is now released in beforeUnmount, except during a hot update.
The desktop legend gets :export-enabled and @export from this file's template, so
a reader at a desk can print a poster or a packet. LegendMobile does not read
props from here. It reaches for an injected handler and decides whether to offer
the control at all by whether one exists -- mobileExportEnabled is
`typeof onLegendExport === 'function'`. Nothing here provided it, so the phone
showed no export while the same map on a desktop showed both.
That is why it went unreported for so long: it is an ABSENCE, not a broken
button. Nobody clicks a control that was never drawn, and the desktop, where this
kind of thing gets checked, was always correct.
The provide carries EXPORT_FEATURE_ENABLED rather than the bare function. The
desktop already passes that flag, so providing unconditionally would hand a phone
an affordance the desktop deliberately hides when the flag is off; and because
"is there a handler" IS the mobile switch, passing null when it is off is exactly
what makes the sheet hide the control. countries-map fixed this first and its
comment records the same two causes on my-upg-100-list, so this is the third
instance of one pattern rather than a new bug.
Measured before building: the sibling item in the same diff, the RTL-safe CSS the
research map was said to owe the country map, is already done -- zero physical
declarations remain once comments are excluded, and the one apparent hit is prose
describing why a padding exists.
closes#15 of COUNTRY-RESEARCH-MAP-DIFF
"Not yet" still listed the desktop build with the engine as a Tauri sidecar.
On Linux it builds and runs; what is still not done is macOS and Windows
(the engine cross-compiles for both and has never run there).
From the selected green group's brief: the unreached peoples that count it among their nearest believers, at the chosen E-level, closest first (the same list as the CSV), the closest 30 by name with a pray.doxa.life link where the group has one. The letter is editable, then copied or downloaded as a .txt (UTF-8, readable in any editor). It opens in a dialog that takes focus, keeps it and closes on Escape.
usePosterLayout has always computed a real layout: the map narrowed by the legend
column and inset by the margins, the title strip and the footer strip. Nothing in
the exporter ever read it. The map was rastered at full page size -- edge to edge,
across the margins and both bands -- and the title, legend and footer were then
composited on top of that image. The legend lay over the map it describes, and
there were no bands at all.
What kept it hidden is that PosterPreview.vue DOES honour layout.map, so the
on-screen preview has always shown the intended design and only the exported file
was wrong. A preview is not evidence for an export.
The obvious fix breaks a different product. country-posters embeds this renderer's
output as a full-sheet <img> inside its own packet page, beneath the packet's own
title, so chrome that is on by default prints a second header and footer within
their page. UPG-100's packet does not call this renderer at all and was never at
risk -- checked rather than assumed. So the composed sheet is requested with
spec.layout === 'poster', and every existing caller, which sets none, keeps what
it had.
That guarantee is stronger than "equivalent": with no layout the renderer passes
the SAME px OBJECT it always did to the rasteriser and composites no sheet, so the
untouched path is unchanged by identity, not merely by value. The check asserts
exactly that, by executing the decision with four real caller shapes -- including
country-posters' A4 at 150 DPI -- rather than reading the source for a promise.
Its second negative test is the ruling's own failure mode: make defaultPosterSpec
set the layout and country-posters is named as silently opted in.
A sheet with no room left for a map after its margins, bands and legend column
falls back to full-bleed and says so, because silence there is the bug above.
Simple Research's export asks for the layout explicitly.
The Driver, on Simple Research: clicking print "breaks the CSS" -- the map
controls and the legend jump upward.
It is not the Export->poster path. That prints an off-screen iframe whose whole
body is a single <img> carrying its own @page, and no CSS in this plugin can
reach inside it. This is the browser's own print of the live page, for which this
plugin had no print rules at all.
The mechanism comes out of the cascade rather than a screenshot. .rm-root is
position:absolute with inset:0 and no positioned ancestor, so its containing
block is the initial one: the viewport on screen, the PAGE BOX in print.
.rm-map-area draws all of its height from that root through flex:1 1 0, and the
canvas, the legend, the badges and the scroll edges are each absolute;inset:0
inside it. In a paged medium the root stops resolving to a viewport height, the
flex child collapses toward zero, and everything pinned inside it stacks at the
top of the sheet. That is the jump the Driver saw.
So in print the root stops being absolute and flows in normal document order,
and the map area is given an explicit height, which restores a real box for its
absolutely-positioned children to sit in.
Overlays that describe INTERACTION rather than content are hidden: the scroll
affordances would print as grey bars down both edges, and a provider badge and a
loading veil say nothing on paper. The legend stays. It is the key to what the
map is showing, and a printed choropleth without its legend is an unreadable
picture.
Verified by reasoning over the cascade, not in a browser: this needs eyes on the
print preview before the card closes.
closes the print half of DRV1650-SR-POSTER-EXPORT
One bubble per bridge language, on its largest unreached group and sized by the unreached population a campaign in it reaches; it follows the search and the believers filter, names itself on hover and picks the language on a click. The map was empty until a language was chosen.
The panels, legend, map notice, list text and arrows use the reading direction (in Arabic the panel sits on the right and the map frames its selection in the part you can see); the P-level counts use the same number format as every other count. How it works takes focus when it opens, keeps it, closes on Escape and gives focus back to its button.
Share opens the phone's share sheet for the group's prayer page, or copies the link and says Copied!. The loading overlay was position:fixed and covered an embedding page; it now sits inside the wall like the offline notice. Landscape / portrait arranges the Social board only: in Bless mode the wall is the poster.
The screen shows the printed sheets themselves, stacked as they print (three 60 × 36 in pages for 5 × 8 ft, glue bands and all). Every card sits where it prints, sized by the same cardText() the print uses; the title, the prayer-themes chart and the footer are the print's own HTML in an overlay that follows the zoom and lets every click through to the wall.
The chart's rotated labels are sized from their own text and wrap; its theme headers fit their row. A long group name shrinks to fit (never below 6 pt) or takes two lines, and the photo gives way so the card's content never outgrows the card. The verse reference prints at 6 pt. The size labels are isolated left to right, so an RTL page no longer reorders '5 × 8 ft · 3×'.
HARDENING, NOT THE FIX for the grey Regions tab. That tab has been seen loading
grey on first load and coloured after a reload. This closes one ordering that
can reach a flat-grey fill. On built bundles that ordering did not reproduce the
grey tab (0 of 20 loads grey, the fill present with its expression at addLayer),
so the reported bug stays open; the lead is the dev/HMR re-mount path.
THE ORDERING. regionFillExpression builds a ['match'] from props.points; with
no points it returns a FLAT no-data grey. addLayers SNAPSHOTS that value into
the layer's paint when it creates the layer. applySubject does repaint the fill
correctly, but it guards every write on getLayer() — deliberately — so a change
arriving BEFORE the layer exists is silently dropped and never retried. And on
MapLibre, the DEFAULT engine, the country boundaries are added as an EMPTY
source and populated by a later fetch's setData(), which nothing repainted
after. In that ordering the fill keeps the colour it was born with.
THE CHANGE is one call: repaint after the boundaries setData, which is the first
moment the layer has any features on the MapLibre path and the only repaint
guaranteed to run with both inputs present. applySubject is idempotent and
getLayer-guarded, so it is harmless when the colour was already right — it only
removes the ordering's power to be the last word.
★ TWO THINGS I GOT WRONG FIRST, both caught by the gate rather than by review,
and both recorded because the wrong version was plausible:
1. MY MODEL COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE BUG. The first version's negative control
fired: no arrival order greyed even with no repaint, so it could not have
detected what it existed for. The greying order is not "data before the
layer" — by then the snapshot is already coloured. It is points arriving
AFTER both addLayers and its mount repaint, with the watch's repaint not
landing. Corrected, exactly 1 of 3 orders greys without the fix and none
with it.
2. I BLAMED THE EMPTY SOURCE, WHICH CANNOT CAUSE GREY. An empty source draws
NOTHING; fill-color is an expression over feature properties. A grey
landmass therefore means features ARE present and the expression came back
flat. The repaint after setData is still required, for the narrower reason
above. The gate carries that correction so the wrong reason cannot be
inherited from a comment.
THE GATE'S OWN INSTRUMENT WAS WRONG TWICE TOO. A 400-char window between
setData and the repaint failed on the repaint's own comment. Widening it to
1600 then PASSED when I deleted the real repaint and left an unrelated
applySubject() 1200 chars downstream — measured, not feared. A distance is the
wrong instrument, so the .then() block is now extracted by brace matching and
the repaint required INSIDE it. The first structural attempt anchored on the
nearest '=>' and landed inside the callback body, because `for (const f of ...)`
has one; it anchors on the enclosing '=> {' now. Four arms mutation-tested,
including that decoy, and every mutated file restored byte-identical.
251606460 dropped each component's window hooks on unmount, but deleted them
unconditionally, and that is wrong as soon as two of the same component share a
page -- which research-map-plus-grid and the Big Picture composite both arrange.
B mounts and overwrites A's hooks; A unmounts and deletes them; B is still on
screen with its verify hooks gone. Not a leak, and not visible to a reader: the
cost lands on rega, as a hook reported missing on a map that is perfectly
healthy, which is a more expensive thing to chase than this is to write.
people-groups-grid already compared identity before releasing. research-map (4
hooks) and the dashboard map panel (3) did not, so the commit was uneven with
itself; gospel's d3597f3d1 settled on the same identity-checked pattern, and one
pattern across the fleet is what lets the check enforce it later.
Each hook is now held in a local as it is installed -- window.__x = _hookX = (…)
-- declared outside the block that assigns it, because a const in there is
invisible to onBeforeUnmount. The release compares before deleting, one key per
line, so the check can read both halves.
The check reports how many releases are identity-checked and enforces it under
STRICT_IDENTITY=1, which is off only because other owners have not adopted the
pattern yet. Flipping it later is a smaller change than re-deriving this.
Two things it taught me while I wrote it. Enforcement first flagged the grid,
which WAS identity-checked -- the comparison simply sat on the line above the
delete, and looking only at the delete's own line dictated formatting instead of
recognising correct code; the window now covers the lines leading up to it. And
the pattern is tested for BEHAVIOUR, not presence: two hooks installed in turn,
the first unmount must leave the second working, the second must leave nothing.
rega's heap snapshots (leak-722ac7789): Simple Research and All People Groups
mounted twice went 54.2 MB to 65.1 MB, with live Vue apps 6 to 8. Every unmounted
application was still there, one copy per mount, and the retainers were all the
same shape -- a window key set during setup and never cleared. The closure keeps
its component, the component keeps its shadow root, and a whole app survives its
own unmount. An element property dies with the element; a window key does not.
The named one was window.__doxaLogoOwner -> Map -> div.rm-map-canvas -> ShadowRoot
-> app, released only when the map's 'remove' event fires. That listener cannot be
the guarantee the global is cleared, because it only runs if remove() is reached;
it is a consequence of the guarantee, not the guarantee itself. useMapInstance now
drops the claim inside destroy(), before removing, so it goes even if remove()
throws part-way.
As for why remove() was never reached: research-map's unmount hook ran ten
teardown steps and called destroy() last, and two of those steps were unguarded
calls into other composables. A single throw anywhere above stranded the map, and
with it the app. I could not reproduce which step threw without a browser, so the
fix does not depend on knowing: each step is isolated and destroy() runs from a
finally, where nothing above it can skip it. Ordering teardown so the most
important step is last, behind nine chances to fail, was the real defect.
The globals themselves are released by the components that set them -- four verify
hooks in research-map, three in the dashboard map panel, the vocabulary hook in
the grid, which had no unmount hook at all. Released as SETS: __rdashPinAt was the
one the snapshot named, but __rdashMap holds the map and retains strictly more, so
clearing only the reported one would have looked fixed and leaked nearly as much.
The deletes are written one per line instead of looped over an array of names, so
that the check can read them. A release a checker cannot see is worth no more than
no release, the day someone removes three of the four.
The check flags only values that actually retain. A warn-once boolean latch and a
page-wide cache keyed off itself are deliberate and must not be reported, or it
becomes noise and gets switched off. It is NOT in gates:pre: 19 sites remain in
other owners' plugins, and this is a fleet pattern rather than one plugin's bug.
useLegendData returns { items, columns, title, activeFilter, setFilter,
totalCount, totalPopulation, progress, fmtPop, fmtCount }. There is no `rows`.
research-map read legend.rows in three places, and because JavaScript answers
undefined rather than complaining, each one failed in a different costume:
- provide('legendRows', legend.rows) provided undefined, and nothing in the repo
injects that key -- the comment above it described a contract no component
implements
- openPoster's fallback, legend?.rows?.value || [], could only ever be [], so on
any tab where the flat legend is empty the poster had no legend rows
- the packet's page-1 slot was rows: legend?.rows?.value || [] with NO second
source, so that poster's legend was empty unconditionally
and useMapPoster skips the legend slot entirely when the row list is empty. So the
missing legend on the exported poster had two independent causes: the renderer
painting it over the map, fixed separately, and this -- an empty array arriving
through a fallback that could never be anything else.
Both poster paths now share one builder, so they cannot drift apart again, and it
flattens children because a prayer legend is a parent plus two child tiers and
printing only the parents describes bands the map does not draw.
Two further calls went the same way: legend.refresh?.() and
legend.build?.(normalizedPeopleGroups), against methods the composable has never
defined. The optional call swallowed both, so two lines that read like steps did
nothing. `items` is a computed and re-derives on its own, so they are gone rather
than repointed.
exp-shepherd found the same misspelling in countries-map, where it threw instead
(NE-17). The check therefore guards the class rather than these lines: it reads
the returned key set from the composable and reports any consumer reading outside
it. It is NOT in gates:pre yet, because it still reports countries-map, which
belongs to another owner.
Writing it turned up two traps worth keeping. Stripping block comments with one
global regex DELETED REAL CODE -- a slash-star inside an ordinary string opens a
comment nobody wrote and the replace runs to the next real terminator -- and the
check confidently reported "no consumers at all" while both sat in the files. And
matching property reads by name flagged every t('legend.colLabel.religion'): an
i18n key spelled like a property access is not a read.
The projection toggle and the zoom toolbar share the top-right corner. The toolbar
was pinned at a literal top:34px, a number that was correct when it was chosen:
the toggle then measured 74x23 and ended at y=31, which this panel's own comment
records as a live measurement. A later accessibility fix gave the toggle
min-height:24px for WCAG 2.5.8. Nothing in this shadow root sets box-sizing
globally -- it appears exactly once, on the legend -- so 24 was a CONTENT height
and the rendered box became 24 plus 8 padding plus 2 border = 34px. Sitting at
top:8 it now ended at y=42 and ran 8px into the toolbar, which has z-index 10
against the toggle's 3 and so drew straight over it.
Nobody did anything careless. A correct fix to one control broke another because
the agreement between them was a magic number living in the other rule, where the
person changing the first had no reason to look.
So the toggle gets box-sizing:border-box, which makes 24 mean twenty-four and
keeps it a legitimate 24px touch target, and the toolbar's offset is now
calc(--rd-proj-top + --rd-proj-h + --rd-ctl-gap). The relationship is stated once,
on the element that owns it, and both the desktop rule and its mobile restatement
read it. Changing the toggle's size now moves the toolbar by construction.
The check computes the toggle's rendered height from its own declarations the way
a browser does, honouring box-sizing, rather than asserting either number --
restating 34 here would have rebuilt the same trap one file further away. Run
against the code as it stood before this commit it reports the overlap and its
exact size. It also requires the toolbar to DERIVE its offset, because a literal
that is correct today is the precise shape of this bug.
Two faults rega measured in the /embed-test re-shoot at 1440, both on main.
THE MAP SIZED TO THE VIEWPORT, NOT ITS HOST. This element had no :host rule at
all, so it defaulted to display:inline with no height of its own and .gm's
absolute inset:0 resolved against whatever ancestor happened to be positioned:
a 1198x900 canvas inside a 1198x560 embed card, with ~340px including the
attribution drawn below the card and clipped. The attribution is a licence
obligation, so clipping it is not cosmetic. Now :host{height:100%} so a
height-bounded slot decides, with min-height:420px as a floor so an auto-height
host still gets a usable map rather than a zero-height one.
NOTHING SAID IT WAS WORKING. First data paint takes 7-30s under SwiftShader —
161 countries, 33 Indian states, 2,105 dots — and for that whole window the
reader saw an empty basemap, indistinguishable from a broken embed. Adds a
notice that starts visible on the first frame and clears after the LAST paint
(paintAdm1), not on 'load': the style fires 'load' early, so clearing there
would retire the notice during exactly the wait it explains. An error replaces
it rather than stacking, and the error path clears it too, so a failure cannot
leave it spinning forever. role="status", since this is progress and not an
interruption.
connectivity.loading added in all eleven locales; parity, keys-exist,
shadow-css and legend-logical-insets all pass. The notice uses inset-inline, not
left/right: it is translated text and mirrors under ar.
Four rules in the resources list and tables are physical where the thing they
position follows READING ORDER, so they do not mirror under dir="rtl":
- .r-code sat at margin-left of the language name, landing before the name in Arabic
- .res a + a used margin-left for the gap that exists so "Holy Bible" and
"JESUS Film" do not read as one string; mirrored, the gap moves outside the
pair and the two links run together again
- .r-pop aligned right, which is the START of an Arabic row, not the end
- .gt-filter's accent bar marked the left edge rather than the leading edge
Now inline properties. The three border-left-color rules in resources-map.vue
are deliberately untouched: each sits on an element carrying dir="ltr", so its
edge is physical in every locale by design.
Project 7000, 4700, 2000 and 700 each need their own clusters of about
100 groups, and the next one should be built by following a pattern
rather than by copying this plugin.
The document separates two halves that turn out to be independent:
which GROUPS are in the list (library/lists/, shared, already built and
gated by check-list-prop-unit) and which ZONES they are cut into (this
plugin's data/clusters.json). A new list needs the second half only if
it wants its own territories.
Measured rather than described:
28 leaf zones from 29 clusters.json entries -- the two deaf buckets
collapse into one leaf. Never count zones from the buckets; ask
leafZones(buildLegendNodes(...)), which is the one answer poster,
packet and legend all agree on. Counting by hand produced 27 once
(forgetting deaf) and a delete of 30 files another time.
5 registry lists, all present, with the membership counts they
actually have (unreached 2082, unengaged 1929, frontier 1745,
frontier-500k 71). doxa has no membership file, correctly: it is the
unfiltered default.
7 selector types, and which type a zone uses IS the statement of how
it was zoned -- from wagf_block (pure geography) through to an
explicit pg_slugs roster. The 12 pg_slugs zones are the honest case,
not the lazy one: below country level there is no ADM1 field to select
by, so a rule would be a fiction that looks principled.
The deaf poster stays recorded as the known exception. It is global and
non-geographic by construction, the Driver has not solved it and said
so, and the pattern says that rather than inventing a zoning.
check-list-pattern-doc.mjs re-derives every number from clusters.json,
lists.json and the membership files and compares them to the document's
own text. Neither side is hardcoded twice, so it fails in both
directions: a doc that drifts, and data that moves while the doc sits
still.
Shown capable of failing, five ways: leaf count 28->27, a membership
count, a selector count, and a real new zone (which trips three claims
at once). The fifth is the useful one -- malformed data now exits 75,
NOT MEASURED, because an uncaught throw exits 1 and would read exactly
like the document being wrong. Found by mutation-testing; the first
draft crashed with a stack trace I would have mistaken for a pass at
catching drift.
Also fixed in the harness: the registry-id parser matched any backticked
lowercase table cell and read the selector table's `union` as an unknown
list -- a false failure against a correct doc. Each table is now parsed
from its own section.
It derived the tree root from the page path. Embedded on a host page (/embed-test, a partner
site) the page is the host's, so the manifest fetch missed and it rendered an empty checklist.
It now uses bundleTreeRoot() (the bundle's own script URL, captured when the script starts),
and falls back to the page path only when that is unavailable, as on the dev server.
vue-i18n v9 pluralizes by an English-shaped INDEX and applies it to every
locale. Measured on a real instance, authoring 'a | b | c':
ru n=0 -> the ONE form, n=2 -> the MANY form CLDR: 0=many, 2=few
ar n=3, 11, 100 -> ALL the dual form CLDR: few, many, other
That is confidently wrong grammar that looks translated, which is worse than
the single fixed form the regions summary shipped until now. upg100 proposed a
plural key and was correctly refused on this exact ground
(upg-100-list.vue:3006) — "real plural support needs a pluralRules map at
createI18n". The refusal's premise was the missing map, so this adds it.
THE PRECONDITION SWEEP (dx-shepherd), before installing anything: every
catalogue value containing " | " across all 11 locales, and every call site
passing a plural choice.
pipe keys: wall.prayedCount, wall.havePrayed — and ONLY in en. Every other
locale ships a pipe-free label form ("Помолились: {n}").
call sites: exactly two, both in wall-of-people-groups
(CommentsDialog.vue:36, wallCanvas.js:198).
BEFORE/AFTER, 2 keys x 11 locales x n = 0,1,2,3,11,100:
132 renders compared, 0 CHANGED.
Zero changed because the map is SCOPED TO EXCLUDE en, which is the one locale
holding pipe strings today. en is also the case dx-shepherd's assertion (3) is
about: vue-i18n's 3-form default is zero|one|many while CLDR for en is
one|other, so an en string written "none | one | {n}" would change meaning at
n=0. Leaving en out means it cannot.
★ THE BUG I SHIPPED INTO MY OWN FIRST DRAFT, caught by reading the rendered
Russian rather than by any assertion: the index was taken against the fixed
zero|one|two|few|many|other list, which is only correct for a locale that HAS
all six. ru has {one, few, many, other} — no zero, no two — so 'few' sat at
global index 3 while the authored string holds it at 1, and n=2/n=3 rendered
"2 стран" instead of "2 страны". ARABIC HID IT COMPLETELY, being the one locale
that does have all six, so its two indexes coincide. The index is now computed
against each locale's OWN category subset, and ru/ro are authored in that order.
ar 0 لا دول · 1 دولة واحدة · 2 دولتان · 3 دول · 11 دولة · 100 دولة
ru 0 стран · 1 страна · 2 страны · 3 страны · 11 стран · 100 стран
(regionCount likewise; all six categories distinct in ar, all three in ru)
check:plural-forms carries studio's three assertions, each mutation-tested to
fail: FORM COUNT (a 2-form ru string fails against its 4 categories), the
tStatic PATH (reading a pipe key through tStatic fails — tStatic does no
selection at all, so the page would show the literal "a | b | c"), and ZERO (a
5-form ar string fails because ar has an explicit zero category). Every mutated
file restored byte-identical afterwards.
The regions shim gains tc(key, n). t() resolves through tm()+rt(), and rt()
takes a message only — there is nowhere to pass the choice — so a pipe string
would come back whole. tc goes through vue-i18n's own t(key, named, choice).
Registered in all three places and VERIFIED by re-reading the parsed
package.json, not by trusting the replace: my last gate registration silently
no-opped on two of three anchors and studio caught it at the landing.
Diffing what the lightweight packet ACTUALLY prints on each path against
its card (map, triangle, profiles, wheel, points) found the wall path
missing two pages and half of a third -- while the legend path matched.
Same class as the sets page: the renderer could draw every page, and
only one of the two hosts supplied the arguments.
Three gaps, three suppliers:
The map. printPacketAs passed no mapSvg and there was no default, so a
wall-printed packet opened on a title-only cover. printPacket now lifts
the bundle's own poster (posters/<id>.html, the same file printPoster
already reads) when the host passes nothing -- via a liftPosterSvg
helper shaped for unit-testing against a real generated poster, no
fetch. Verified on laos: the svg is found and lifted. And PosterWall now
actually passes assetsBase into its print opts; without that one line
the lift's guard would skip silently and the wall would STILL print a
mapless packet -- the seam-without-supplier failure one layer down,
caught in the same pass.
The triangle. No funnel was supplied and none defaulted. The default
states ONLY the steps: listCount and unassigned stay absent, so
funnelPage omits the share line and the tip rather than printing a
denominator that is wrong under a non-default list. Proved two-sided:
steps-only renders the triangle with no share claims; adding listCount
renders both.
The profiles. The wall's fetch carried primary_language but not
imb_gsec, so every wall-printed description ran at half length -- the
third fetch site with the same missing-field defect, found the same way.
setsPage landed as a renderer capability with no data supplier: it
returns '' without data -- correctly -- which meant the FULL-DETAIL
packet had never once printed its distinguishing back page in real use.
The full-vs-lightweight split existed in code while the full packet was
missing the page that makes it full.
packetSets.js is the supplier: a pure decode+join with zero imports, so
the identical function runs under Node (the generator reads the table
from disk) and under Vite (the browser fetches it) and the join cannot
fork between the two. The table stays with the caller -- the same seam
as strings, christian and describe.
The join is measured, not assumed: 2,091 of 2,107 groups match by slug,
rings distribute 1-10 with real shape, and the 16 unmatched are inked as
UNKNOWN on the bounded figure rather than guessed onto a side --
an un-inked category reads as zero on paper.
Wired at every path that prints a packet: the offline generator (all 28
zones verified carrying the page, e.g. laos: 0 inside, 94 outside, 1
unknown; 94 placed with "25 same dialect, same people"), the legend
Export menu, the poster wall, and the selection packet -- the last three
through one opts.sets loader fetching the SAME served asset-pool copy
the generator reads, so an embedded bundle prints the same page as the
dev tree.
The decode is a third reading of near-neighbors.json's cols/dict format
(nearRows.js documents being a copy of upg-neighbor's, pending promotion
to library/). Flagged in the header rather than hidden: when the loader
is promoted, the decode here collapses into it and only the join
remains.
The generator could already serve a second group set -- series.json's
country series proves it -- but only one wired into series.json, reading
upg100's bucketed clusters, upg100's legend tree for enumeration, and the
shared records cache. A fork had no way in.
The contract is now one folder. DATA_DIR points at it; clusters.json with
a flat lists[] is the group set; records.json in the same folder means no
API and no cache; selector-evaluator.js resolves from there, as it always
did. normalize.js and legend-tree.js become optional -- absent, records
are used as-is and the flat file IS the enumeration -- and the absence is
logged rather than silent, because a silent fallback would let a typo'd
normalize.js skip normalization on the real series. PACKET_OUT keeps a
fork's output away from the real artifact directory, where toy packets
would be counted as coverage.
unlisted: true carries upg100's reachability idea across as data: the
list is defined and selectable with ONLY=, and not generated by default.
The bucketed shape keeps its legend-tree enumeration untouched, so the
deaf collapse and the 28-zone arithmetic are byte-for-byte unchanged.
The smoke test was written first and failed first, on all four counts.
Its fixture is synthetic -- every slug and number invented -- and it
asserts the unlisted list does NOT generate, which is as load-bearing as
the two that do: an unlisted entry that generates anyway is the
reachability bug inverted.
One bug found in my own work while proving it: allZones became async, and
the funnel's listCount read it from inside a try/catch that returns null
on error -- so a use-before-init did not crash, it silently deleted the
triangle from all 28 packets. Caught because a probe for the tip's "1 of
28" found nothing, not because anything failed. Resolved once, before
the funnel is built; regenerated and verified -- funnel present, tip
reads 1 of 28, 95 photos, 11 sheets.
An RTL audit of research-map, research-dashboard and its four dashboard
components. Translation was already sound -- 101 keys, all present in all eleven
locales, no hardcoded English anywhere user-visible -- so what was left was
direction: rules that pin a physical side while the reader's text flows the other
way.
Three an Arabic reader would notice immediately. Both search icons sit at
left:8px and left:10px while the input around them mirrors, so the icon ends up
on the far side of the field it belongs to. The detail drawer's border-left
stays on the geometric left, which in Arabic is the drawer's trailing edge, so
the panel appears unattached on the side it hinges from.
The rest are quieter but the same mistake: a badge, a provider chip, the two
edge affordances, a table's numeric columns and its indicator, a result row's
spacer, the projection toggle.
Every change is LTR-NEUTRAL, which is what makes this safe to land on its own.
In left-to-right, inset-inline-start resolves to left, text-align:end resolves
to right, margin-inline-start resolves to margin-left. The English view cannot
move; only the Arabic one can. Fourteen insertions against fourteen deletions,
one property each, nothing else touched.
The pattern is not new here -- .rd-legend-map already uses inset-inline-end,
with a comment recording that a physical right pinned it to the wrong edge in
Arabic. These sixteen are the rules that were missed when that lesson was
applied.
What this does NOT establish: that Arabic renders correctly. Every RTL gate in
the repo needs a browser, so this was read rather than run. The three visible
ones want eyes on ar before anyone calls RTL done.
Every scripture, name and reference, on the printed sheet and on the canvas, is set in its own direction, so an English verse on a right-to-left page keeps its full stop at the end.
useDashboardData read `lang` straight out of sources.json, where it is frozen at
"en", and nothing ever overrode it. So every row the dashboard fetched came back
English regardless of the reader's locale.
The result was not a uniformly English page, which would at least be honest. It
was worse. DashboardChartsRail localizes its country labels through
countryName(), so at ?lang=ar the top-countries chart read الصين while the table
row directly beneath it read "People's Republic of China" — and a page that is
half translated looks like a bug in the half that works. Three surfaces rendered
the raw English label: the data table's country column
(dashboard.config.js:299), the detail drawer (DashboardDetailDrawer.vue:171) and
the search-result subtitle (DashboardTopBar.vue:327).
Fixing it at the SOURCE rather than at the three render sites is what makes them
agree: ask the API in the reader's language and the labels arrive correct, with
no countryName() call and no third spelling of a country's name to reconcile.
DataSourceManager.js:261 has done exactly this for its own callers all along —
`if (this.locale) extraParams.lang = this.locale` — and doxa-research-map,
doxa-simple-map and country-posters all pass a locale in. This composable simply
never got the same treatment.
BOTH LOCALE CHANNELS, because it genuinely arrives by either: `lang` is provided
by ProfileLoader for an element configured through profile-config, and
window[PAGE_LOCALE_KEY] is what a generated leaf sets from ?lang= — the URL a
person actually shares. Reading only one left the regions dashboard's data
labels English on the shared-link path while its chrome translated, which is the
measurement this copies rather than rediscovers.
Resolved at REQUEST time, not captured at setup, so a locale switch cannot pin
the dashboard to whichever language happened to load first.
AND A LOCALE CHANGE NOW REFETCHES. load() ran only onMounted, so switching
language mid-session would have re-rendered chrome over data still in the old
language — the same defect one layer up. Same shape as region-dashboards.vue:680,
guarded on a real change so the mount fetch is not doubled.
Caught while writing it: my first version of that watch called inject() inside
the callback, where it does not work — it warns on every tick and returns null.
The ref is captured in setup and only read later, which is what this file already
does for profileConfig, for the same reason.
Proved headless: locale resolution across all four channels (leaf ?lang=,
injected profile-config, neither, and injected-beats-runtime), then that the
chart, the table column, the drawer and the search subtitle produce the SAME
string for CHN, LAO and COD at ar — the disagreement that started this. The
API's ?lang= behaviour itself is not my assumption: it was measured live at ar
and zh on region-dashboards (its comment at :366).
rega RQ20: the driven page asks for show-search:false and show-filters:false and
renders the search box and the filters bar anyway, with 0 console errors. There
were no errors because nothing failed. The key never arrived:
· the preset writes KEBAB into profile-config — "show-search": "false"
· ProfileLoader PROVIDES that object; it does not bind its keys as props
· the profile reads props.showSearch (CAMEL), which keeps its default of true
Three correct-looking layers and no join between them. A preset key that does
nothing looks exactly like a preset key that works, which is why the fix ships
with a gate rather than a comment.
The grid now reads these flags off the config as well as the prop, in the same
prop -> cfg ladder researchUrl beside them already used, and accepts BOTH
spellings: someone writing profile-config by hand reaches for the kebab spelling
because that is what the docs show on the tag, while the prop is camel.
Accepting one silently is what made this inert. An explicit prop still wins.
Proved on five cases including the exact preset, an explicit prop overriding the
config, and config:true keeping the control on.
check:instance-config-keys asserts every preset key reaches the profile that
renders it. Writing it was the interesting part, and it was WRONG TWICE:
1. First version matched only `cfg.` and reported NINE FALSE POSITIVES across
four plugins — big-picture reads config.value.accent, doxa-simple-map reads
profileConfig?.value?.tabs. The config object's variable name is each
profile's own business; matching on it measured my naming habit, not the
contract.
2. Widening it to "any accessor" then matched `props.showSearch` — the exact
line that does NOT work — and the gate went GREEN on the defect it exists
for. props is the one object that cannot carry a profile-config key, so it
is now masked out before the match.
Mutation-tested after that: reverting the fix to props-only makes it fail again,
and the grid file is restored byte-identical. A gate I have not watched fail is
not evidence, and this one passed for the wrong reason once already.
The four bundles that embed the grid are rebuilt, so the fix is in the shipped
.js and not only in the source rega cannot run.
The cross drew inverted. The projection computes Y = 0.5 - v*K, so a larger v is
a HIGHER latitude, and the parts were named on the screen convention where +y
goes down — which put the long arm at the top. That is a different symbol, not a
cosmetic slip. The parts are named by compass now, and the test asserts in
latitude after projection rather than in layout units, which is the only space
where the question means anything.
The fit was bit-identical through three attempts — more padding, a resize, a
refit on idle — and that was the evidence. None of them was wrong; none of them
was the moment the box changed size. These panels are v-show, so a map can be
built while its container is display:none and therefore zero-sized, and the
engine keeps the size it measured then. A fit computed against that lands at the
wrong zoom, which is why one layout opened at 0.64 while an almost identically
shaped one opened at 0.31.
A ResizeObserver is the only thing that knows when the box became real, so the
fit follows the container instead of guessing at a moment, and skips while the
box is still hidden. The failure is reported rather than swallowed, for the same
reason as the cross layer before it.
PinHint self-gated on any <canvas>, so the Wall's own renderer got a tap-a-dot coach-mark over its
dialogs; it now matches only MapLibre and Mapbox canvases. The "?" sat bottom-right, over the map
attribution on several plugins and the zoom-out button on one; map plugins use the corners, so it
moves to the top centre.
Two interop defects on production plugins, found by reading the links rather
than the code around them, and corrected against DX-life's own component once
dx-shepherd pointed me at it.
THE COUNTRY LINK POINTED AT THE PEOPLE GROUP. On the regions dashboard's card,
the country name under the title linked to that people group's own profile —
the same destination as the "Full Profile" button directly beneath it. Two
links on one card, one labelled with a country, both landing in the same place.
Theirs, in BOTH card variants (app/components/public/UupgsList.vue:610, :638):
localePath(`/regions/${countrySlug(country_code.value, country_code.label)}`)
A page on the HOST site — not a research profile, and not the ../countries/
path my first pass reached for. So the base is a PROP, not a constant: only the
host knows where its country pages live, and DX-life's are under /regions/.
Prop, then profile-config, then the site base, so an embedder can point country
names anywhere without touching the research base.
people-groups-grid is ported from that same component and had the same defect
in a different disguise: `${researchUrl}../countries/<slug>`, climbing out of
the research base to a section DX-life does not use for this. Both now build
the same URL from the same countrySlug.
Our countrySlug is theirs: identical body, identical slugify (every transform,
in order), and the tables behind it match exactly — 242 codes each, zero
missing, zero differing labels. My first comparison of those tables parsed
their file into ZERO entries and reported "no differences", which is the shape
of a check that cannot fail; the number above is from the run that actually
parsed 242.
FOUR LINKS DEPENDED ON A TRAILING SLASH NOBODY WAS TOLD ABOUT. researchUrl and
prayBaseUrl are set by whoever embeds the element, in someone else's HTML. The
joins were bare concatenation, and RegionCountryMap's own prop comment records
the contract without ever telling the embedder:
Pray -> prayBaseUrl/<slug>, Full Profile -> researchUrl<slug>
One needs a trailing slash, the other must not have one. An embedder writing
research-url="https://doxa.life/research" — the spelling a human would choose —
got "https://doxa.life/researchbantu-tswana" on every profile link the plugin
draws: a 404, with nothing logged anywhere.
We cannot test what an embedder passes, so joinBase() encodes the rule instead
of documenting it: exactly one slash, whatever we are handed. Eight shapes
checked, including a doubled slash, a leading slash on the path, an empty path
and a null base.
Driver test round 2, #2 — the half the @media print rules could not do. The
complaint was "no loading indicator on a click": the reader presses Print, the
dialog takes a moment to rise, and nothing says anything is happening. It is
worse on this page than most, because what the dialog waits for is a MAP —
press it a moment early and the sheet carries a grey rectangle.
printInPlace.js gains printWhenReady({ waitFor, onBusy, timeoutMs }). This
pattern already exists five times in the repo (upg-100-list c54a11d5a, four of
exp's 786a83461, PeopleGroupsWall.printWall); they agree on the easy half —
set a flag, print, clear it — and each invents the hard half, which is what
"ready" means and what happens when ready never comes. The hard half is the one
that strands a reader, so it is the half that graduates:
· THE TIMEOUT PRINTS. It does not reject and does not cancel. A reader who
clicked Print and waited has asked for paper; a slow tile server is a reason
to print a plainer map, not a reason to produce nothing.
· allSettled, not all — one waiter that rejects must not cost the print.
· onBusy clears in a finally, on every path: a rejected wait, a throwing
print, a host with no window.print. A busy state that outlives its own
operation makes the page look broken rather than slow.
RegionCountryMap answers when it is done, and map.loaded() is not that answer —
it reports true while tiles still stream, which is how gospel's charts printed
blank twice today. The condition is: style applied, camera stopped, tiles for
this camera in. It checks synchronously FIRST and only then subscribes to
'idle', because this component's own header already records that once('load')
measured unreliable in both directions here — an event that fired before you
listened never arrives. Always resolves, always removes its listener.
The button is quiet, sits under the title, and is hidden on paper. Busy state
carries aria-busy and :disabled, not just a changed label: the screen reader is
told, and disabled is what actually stops a second print. Both strings are in
all 11 locales; "Print" was already translated 23 times elsewhere in the tree
under other keys, so this adds the key the dashboard's own catalogue lacked.
Mutation-tested, since the failure this guards is the path nobody takes: a
waiter that never settles returns "timeout" after the ceiling and prints anyway
(201ms measured on a 200ms ceiling), a rejecting waiter still prints, and the
busy flag returns to false in all three.
Round 2 item 6. The control was already built in PosterWall -- state,
persistence, grid binding, markup -- and gated behind an opt-in prop that
only the regions dashboard passed. So most of this is enabling it rather
than writing it, which is what "reuse the pattern, don't re-derive" asked
for. I checked that before building anything, because the last time I
added a feature without checking which surface already had it, it landed
somewhere nobody looks.
Auto is genuinely new: the choices were 2 to 5, always forcing a count,
and the brief asks for Auto meaning today's CSS with overrides on top.
gridStyle already returned {} for a non-positive value -- the comment at
that line even says so -- so Auto needed no new layout branch. It needed
to become REACHABLE: a 0 in the choice list, a label, a read path and a
write path. It extends the earlier min-2/max-5/default-2 ruling rather
than contradicting it, since those bound the counts and Auto is the option
that declines to pick one.
Round-tripping the storage values, rather than reading the code, caught a
bug I had just written: getItem returns null when nothing is stored, and
Number(null) is 0 -- which is exactly Auto now that 0 means something. So
every first-time reader would have silently got Auto instead of the
default, and merely ADDING an option would have changed the layout for
everyone who never touched the control. A missing key now returns null and
falls back to the default; a stored 0 reads as Auto.
Auto is also persisted, which needed its own clause: the range check
rejects 0, so without it the one value that is not a count would be the
one value that never survived a reload. A preference that forgets only
some of its values is worse than one that forgets all of them, because the
reader cannot tell it is broken.
Raising the padding fixed seven layouts and left the eighth exactly as it was,
which was the clue: padding cannot rescue a fit aimed at a box of the wrong
shape. That layout is short and wide, and the fit ran against a stale
measurement, so it resolved to the width and clipped the cloud top and bottom.
The engine is now told to re-read its container before the fit, the fit runs on
the next frame so the flex layout can finish, and it runs once more when the map
settles for a container still resolving on that frame. None of it depends on a
timer.
The cross was drawing as a plus. The upper arm was two thirds of the lower, which
is a real difference and far too small to see at this size. Latin proportions
now: the lower arm is three times the upper and the bar is narrower than the
figure is tall, so the shape is legible as what it is at the size it is actually
drawn rather than only in the geometry.
The chart's theme names, its row labels and the closing line print in English (the blessPoster defaults) until studio's round B carries the theme keys; the title, the DOXA line and the glue label are already translated. lang and dir still follow the page, so right-to-left locales lay the chart out right to left.
The cross source existed and no layer used it. line-cap is a LAYOUT property and
it was passed in paint, so addLayer threw — and the catch beside it ate the
error. The source was added, the layer never was, and the result was a cross that
is simply absent with nothing anywhere saying why.
That is the third time today a try/catch turned a broken thing into a silent one,
and the second in this one feature. The mark still must not block the chart, so
the failure is still caught — but it now says so. A guard that protects the
caller should not also protect the bug from being found.
The fit takes more padding. It has to hold the labels and not only the points —
the outermost band label sat on the canvas edge at 1280 — and a short, wide
canvas fits to width and clips top and bottom unless the bounds are given room in
the dimension that is scarce, which is what cut the cloud on one narrow layout.
A window key holding a closure pins the whole app after unmount -- the
component, its shadow root, and everything they reference, measured at
roughly 10 MB per mount. The three test handles here each close over live
state (the search index, the map, the selection), so each one is a full
retention path.
SIX GLOBALS, NOT THREE. The check names the three it can see, but each
named handle has a paired per-instance registry --
__UPG_SEARCH__/__UPG_SEARCHES__, __UPG_MAP__/__UPG_MAPS__,
__UPG_SELECT__/__UPG_SELECTS__. Releasing only the named half leaves the
registry holding the same closure, so the leak survives in the copy nobody
was looking at.
The two halves need opposite handling, which is why this is not one loop.
A named handle is a single slot that the last mount overwrites, so
deleting it blindly would strip a LIVE sibling's handle -- it is cleared
only if it is still the object this instance published, captured at
assignment so it cannot drift from what went out. A registry entry is
keyed by instance, so my key is always mine to delete, and deleting the
whole registry would strip the siblings.
Verified against the two-instance case rather than the single-mount one:
A mounts, B mounts and takes the named slot, A unmounts -- B keeps its
handle and its registry entry, and after both unmount nothing is
retained.
One delete per line, deliberately: the check reads these statements, so a
loop over a key list would release correctly and still be reported as a
leak. The whole block is wrapped because a frozen or cross-origin window
must never break teardown.
The board collapsed to a single panel below 760px; the set charts stacked their
legend below 900. Between those widths the board still held three columns while a
chart inside it had already given up on having room — at 768 the centre column
was about 145px, so one figure was crushed to 124 and the other's own minimum
made it spill under the right-hand panel. Neither number was wrong alone; the
defect was that they were two numbers, with nothing connecting the width at which
a chart needs room to the width at which the board gives it any. They are one
constant now.
Ring labels take four anchors instead of one. A single label at the top meant a
reader zooming anywhere else on a ring saw no ring name, which is most of the
ring and certainly wherever the dots are dense. The engine drops the extras when
they would collide, so low zoom is unchanged.
The cross is drawn as geometry rather than as a text glyph. It was a symbol whose
label was the character itself, and the layer rendered zero features: a glyph
appears only if the font has it, and nothing reports a missing one. Two line
segments depend on no font, and are the same mark in every locale — including the
right-to-left pages, where a text cross would also have been subject to bidi
reordering.
Both charts fit their whole extent on load. The default zoom clipped the outer
rings top and bottom, so the reader met a drawing already cut off — which reads
as a rendering fault rather than as something to zoom out of.
Twelve globals were set across three plugins and none was ever deleted. Each
pins whatever it closes over — a map instance pins its canvas, its sources and
through them the whole app — so every mount left another copy behind, measured
elsewhere at roughly 10 MB each.
Released as a set rather than one at a time. A block that sets several globals
and clears the obvious one leaks the rest silently, and the obvious one is
whichever the author happened to remember.
Identity-checked, which is why the value is recorded as it is set rather than
cleared by name. Two instances can share a page, and clearing by name alone
would let the second unmount delete the first's live hooks — trading a leak for
a harder bug in which a live map loses its test surface at a distance.
A first attempt compared against a name that did not exist. Inside the try/catch
that guards these, the ReferenceError was swallowed and every delete silently did
nothing — a leak fix that looks exactly like a leak fix and leaks. The guard that
makes the assignment safe is the same guard that hides its failure, which is the
argument for recording what was set rather than inferring it at teardown.
The guard added last time is what kept this broken. createBoardMap resolves only
after awaiting the load event, so by the time the component runs, load has fired.
The guard asked map.loaded() — which does not mean "the load event fired" but
"the style and every tile are loaded" — and the basemap tiles were still
arriving. It returned false, took the else branch, and registered a handler for
an event that had already happened. A check added for a hypothetical future
engine broke the only case that exists.
Defensive code that changes behaviour is not defensive. If a check is ever wanted
here it is isStyleLoaded(), which is true at this point; loaded() answers a
different question than the one being asked.
The figure was crushed rather than unstyled. The zero flex-basis shipped
correctly and the figure was still 39 pixels wide: a basis of zero lets it grow
from nothing, but min-width:0 also lets it be squeezed to nothing, and the
decoder card's own content width wins that contest. The figure now refuses to go
below a usable size and the card shrinks or scrolls instead, because the chart is
the main view and the legend explains it.
Seven changes to two plugins, re-applied onto current main as ONE source patch
rather than rebased, because the rebase conflicted in the generated bundles —
where a conflict is never resolvable by hand, since neither side matches what
either source builds. Source re-applied clean, everything rebuilt from it.
people-groups-grid
· the saved column count is restored before first paint, not after, so a
returning reader no longer watches the grid snap from auto to their choice.
It re-reads if the profile-config key arrives late, and never over a choice
the reader has since made by hand.
· the cards-per-row control is inset from the card edge it was sitting level
with (Driver round 2, #5).
· the window vocabulary handle is released on unmount, identity-checked so the
first of two grids on a page cannot strip the second's live handle.
regions-dashboard
· the four stat cards no longer let Population stretch across a tablet row.
auto-fit collapsed the empty tracks; auto-fill with the track minimum capped
at a quarter of the row gives at most four columns and never a stretched
orphan. Measured at nine widths.
· the dashboard is printable at all. It had no @media print rule, so the app
shell's absolute root and inner scroller meant the browser printed one
screenful; the legend stayed on top of the map; interactive chrome printed.
· both window globals are released on unmount, not just the remembered one,
each identity-checked and on its own line.
shared asset
· the worldmap watermark is 242 KB rather than 311 KB — same 394 paths, same
drawing, coordinate precision trimmed to what the render resolves.
Neither chart drew anything. createBoardMap already awaits the map's load event
and resolves after it, so attaching a second load handler waited for something
that had already happened: the layer setup never ran, each map held only its
basemap layers, and the panel showed an empty whiteboard.
It failed silently, which is why the visible-failure branch did not catch it.
Nothing threw — the map was fine, the source was simply never added. A guard that
reports errors cannot report an absence of work.
The setup now runs directly after the await, and still binds once('load') if a
future engine resolves earlier. That keeps the fix correct rather than merely
right today.
The figures also grow from a zero basis instead of from their content. The map
inside is absolutely positioned and has no intrinsic width, so a basis of auto
asks for a content size of nothing and the legend takes the column — the figure
was measured at 39 pixels across while the decoder had the rest. This was hidden
behind the first bug: an empty chart and a chart with no room look the same.
The neighbour table is 2.6 MB. Until it arrives the joined set is legitimately
empty, so both panels drew a chart of nothing and captioned it with a count of
zero — indistinguishable from a real answer of none, which is the same defect as
a join failure reported as a fact about a people.
Found by sweeping my own plugins for the Driver's bug classes rather than by
anyone reporting it, which is the point of the sweep: the newest code was the
code with the defect, because it had been read least.
The loading line is announced politely for a screen reader, since the change it
describes is a region of the page becoming real rather than an alert.
Every width change reset the legend from the breakpoint, so opening the decoder
on a phone lost it on rotation, and closing it on a wide window reopened it by
dragging the edge. The resize was undoing the reader's decision rather than
responding to it.
The width now decides only until the reader does. After that their choice holds
at both widths.
This is the same defect fixed in the other plugin's legend earlier today, written
again here a few hours later, because the two legends are separate
implementations of one control and only one of them had learned. That is the
argument for promoting the control, not for being more careful next time.
The Prayer-list dropdown went into PosterWall's per-card print row. The
profile people open -- upg-100-list -- does not render PosterWall at all;
its print path is the legend's Export menu, which still offered two items
and printed immediately. So the feature was built, landed and served, and
invisible on the only screen it was asked for.
Two surfaces legitimately offer printing and both carry a button labelled
Prayer list, so the label was not enough to tell them apart. The grep that
would have caught it -- does this profile mount that component -- takes
five seconds and I never ran it.
The legend's packet item is now a disclosure: it is named UPG 100, it
explains what a UPG 100 list is, and it reveals Full detail and
Lightweight. The explainer matters because this menu item is the only
place a reader meets the idea, so it wraps rather than truncates.
The submenu opens BELOW its trigger by construction, not by positioning:
the menu is a flex column, so a block after the button flows underneath
it. A panel that grows its parent cannot cover its parent -- which is
exactly what the card-deck row could do, hanging out of its card at
top:100% with nowhere to go on a short viewport.
emitExport widens its existing string to packet:full / packet:lightweight
rather than adding a second event; poster and a bare packet still work, so
an older consumer keeps working and one event means nobody can handle only
half the menu. printPrayerPacket takes the variant and forwards it to
printPacket, which already accepts it.
UPG 100 is allowed to be identical in all eleven locales, recorded in
check:i18n-never-translated as a brand name rather than as debt: it is not
waiting on a ruling, it IS the ruling, and the explainer beside it carries
the meaning per locale. Inventing eleven names for one product would be
the failure that gate exists to prevent.
Found by the bug-CLASS sweep, which is the point of doing one: the busy
indicator was added to the selection HUD after a report that pressing its
buttons showed no sign of work, and the legend's Export menu -- Poster and
Packet -- had none at all. Same defect, different surface, and I fixed the
reported instance without looking for its siblings.
Both do the same slow work: two dynamic imports, a map-SVG fetch, a funnel
fetch, then a multi-sheet render. onLegendExport now guards re-entry (a
second click would run two renders over one print frame), sets busyAction
so the control says what it is doing, and clears in finally on every exit
path including the early return inside the try.
The gate's busy assertion had two holes that let this through, and both
are fixed. It counted setters by matching the literal strings 'packet' and
'poster', so a ternary assignment was invisible -- a regex that enumerates
the shapes it knows about will always miss the next one, so it now matches
the assignment and excludes the clear. And it only asserted a whole-file
count, which "some handler somewhere sets it" satisfies; it now asserts
PER FUNCTION for all three print paths, so a surface cannot be forgotten
while the file as a whole looks fine.
Mutation-tested: removing the busy handling from onLegendExport now fails
naming that function, and dropping a finally fails naming its own.
Also drops a stale "page 3" from a shipped CSS comment -- page order is
variant-dependent since lightweight started omitting two sheets, so a
fixed page number in the output is wrong even where no reader sees it.
Two things the Driver found, both about a control being in the reader's way
rather than about it not working.
The collapse caret was absolutely positioned over the panel's top-right, and the
title was hidden when collapsed — so collapsing left a lone glyph floating on the
map with nothing to say what it would reopen. It now sits inline in a header row
beside the title, which is where the shared legend puts its own: a flex item with
no positioning at all. The header stays visible when collapsed, so the control
always carries its label.
Side by side there is room for the target and its decoder. Stacked on a narrow
pane there is not: the decoder is a tall card that pushes the chart off the
screen, so a reader who asked to see the target got a glossary. Below the
breakpoint the legend now starts closed behind a named toggle. It is not hidden —
the control says what it opens, and opening is one tap.
The toggle reuses keys that already exist in every locale rather than adding a
word of its own. A new string would have meant eleven catalogue entries owned by
another tab and landing in another batch: a cross-owner dependency bought for one
label, when the fleet already had the sentence.
The map inside is absolutely positioned to fill its figure, but the figure was
not a positioned ancestor, so it resolved against the panel instead and covered
the legend beside it. The bounded set's figure already carried position:relative;
this one did not — the difference two files drift into when the same rule is
written twice rather than shared.
In the narrow column a flex child sized by its content can resolve to zero
height, which is what a chart measured at 0x0 is. The figure now has a floor, and
stretches rather than centring itself into nothing.
The legend takes a flex basis instead of growing to its content. Reported
squeezed to 145x145 at 1440: a card that is only told a maximum will still take
what it asks for, and the figure had nothing but min-width:0 with which to argue.
The ring legend declared a fullscreen emit and rendered a labelled, focusable
button for it. The parent bound select and not fullscreen, so the button looked
right, tabbed right, announced itself right, and did nothing. It is a Driver ask,
and it is the half-wired shape exactly: the visible half worked, so nothing
appeared broken.
The fix is not to bind the emit. The button is now the shared control, so there
is one implementation instead of two — and it brings the part a second one would
have missed. iOS Safari does not implement requestFullscreen on arbitrary
elements and fails silently, so the shared control carries a pseudo-fullscreen
fallback. A hand-rolled handler would have worked everywhere I could test it and
nowhere I could not.
A first attempt kept the hand-rolled button and called the shared component's
toggle through a template ref. That component has no defineExpose, so under
script setup the method is private and the call would have resolved to undefined
— silently reintroducing the same defect while appearing to fix it. Checked
before committing rather than after.
The panel element is passed in, because full screen should show the chart and the
legend together, and the legend does not own the panel it sits in.
Found by sweeping for the half-wired-config class rather than by anyone reporting
it, which is what that class is for: nothing about it looks wrong from outside.
The layout modules moved to library when they were promoted, and three of my
files still named the old paths: the two new whiteboard components, which were
written before the move landed, and the geometry check, which was written after
it and still copied the old import from its neighbours.
GiBoundedSet also carried an unresolved conflict — markers and all — committed by
a cherry-pick loop of mine that resolved generated output automatically and swept
the source conflict along with it. The file had both imports of the same symbol,
one of them pointing at a deleted path. It parsed, so the SFC check passed; only
the bundler would have caught it, and only at the point where it could not
resolve the file.
The lesson is about the loop, not the file: resolving one class of conflict
automatically is fine, but `git add -A` afterwards does not distinguish the
conflicts you meant to resolve from the ones you did not. A loop that stages
everything needs to refuse when a marker is still present.
Both set charts now pan and zoom. The chart still makes one claim — which side
of the line a group is on — so nothing here encodes distance or rank; what zoom
buys is reading the names, because at two thousand dots the inside is a cluster
until you can get close to it.
The boundary is the shared dish layer, which is the same layer a language
family's circle uses, so it is not a new type for either of us. Its radius takes
an exponential-base-2 zoom interpolation rather than a fixed pixel value.
circle-radius is screen pixels: a constant would hold its size while the dots
spread out from under it, leaving the circle correct at exactly one zoom and
wrong at every other — and for a dot near the edge the inside/outside reading
would silently invert, which is the only thing this chart says. Pixels per degree
double with each zoom level, measured at exactly 2.000000 between adjacent
levels, so the interpolation tracks map units exactly rather than approximately.
The boundary is drawn as a line with a transparent fill. A filled disc would say
the inside is a region, when what the chart means is a threshold.
The cross rides in the point collection as its own tier rather than as an
overlay, so it pans and zooms with the drawing instead of floating above it.
The panel now mounts the zoomable chart in place of the SVG. Pan, zoom and
labels that appear by tier as the reader moves in were the ask; the engine
supplies tiling and label collision that an SVG version would have to
reimplement, and badly.
The printed component stays SVG, which is not an inconsistency: a sheet has no
zoom and no hover, so paper and screen genuinely want different renderers. What
they share is the ring vocabulary, so the two cannot drift apart in what they
call a ring even though they draw it differently.
The ask changed and so did the call. A static target is fine in SVG; a zoomable
one carrying ~2,100 labels is not. The engine tiles the collection per zoom so it
draws less when zoomed out, and its symbol layers do label collision, which is
the part that would take longest to do badly by hand.
The label staging is one layer per tier with its own minzoom: band names when
zoomed out, ring names in the middle, group names in close. None of that is
tree-shaped, which is why it is a shared layer rather than a copy of one.
Coordinates go through the shared projection, never a scale. It is the exact
inverse of the renderer's transform, so a circle stays a circle; a linear scale
would draw concentric rings as ovals worsening outward. The only number this
chart owns is its extent.
Dimming a deselected ring is a paint expression rather than a filter, for the
reason the SVG version dims instead of hiding: a ring emptied of its dots reads
as a ring with no groups, which is the opposite of what a reader selecting it
just asked for.
The layer id is read back from the handle rather than written from memory. The
first version reached for a name the module does not use; inside a try/catch that
does not throw, so the dimming would simply never have happened — a legend that
appears to do nothing rather than an error. Asking the handle means a rename
cannot silently disable it.
The projection is passed in rather than built here, so the chart and its checks
share one instance and this module still owes nothing to a coordinate system it
does not define. The dish takes its radius from the projection's exposed scale:
deriving it by projecting two points and subtracting would be right on the
equator and wrong everywhere else.
The guard reports the outermost latitude, because that is the real limit and
shape is not. The projection is the exact inverse of the renderer's transform, so
a circle stays a circle at every extentFraction — measured at 0.000% aspect
error. An earlier reading of mine said otherwise and was wrong: it computed
screen x as longitude times cos(latitude), a plate-carree correction Web Mercator
never applies, which manufactured a distortion the renderer does not produce.
What does bite is the pole. The outermost point reaches 52 degrees at the default
0.17, 77 at 0.35, 83 at 0.45, and Web Mercator is undefined at the poles with
engines clamping near 85.
That ceiling is a property of extentFraction alone, not of a chart's extent:
the scale is extentFraction over extent, so the outermost point is at
extentFraction whatever the extent, and every chart reaches the same latitude.
Measured across extents 100, 228, 260 and 1000 — identical to three decimals. So
a consumer cannot buy headroom by choosing a bigger extent, and a check written
against one chart's ceiling holds for all of them.
The shared whiteboard layer draws a point collection where each feature carries
an id, a label, a tier and a priority, and stages its label layers by tier and
zoom. This decides which features exist, what tier each belongs to and how they
rank — which is this chart's business — and it does not convert to degrees.
Ring and band labels are placed on the radii the chart already draws rather than
on a second calculation, so the label and the ring it names cannot drift apart.
Groups rank by population, so when two names collide the larger people wins: a
reader zoomed out should meet the names carrying the most people, not whichever
was drawn first. Bands outrank rings outrank groups, because that is the order a
reader zooming in meets them.
Coordinates out are abstract on purpose. Converting them is a projection, not a
scale — the whiteboard shrinks degree height outward so the map's own stretch
cancels it, and a linear scale skips the cancellation. Measured on a ring of 720
points: with a linear scale the rendered aspect is 0.9968 at the inner ring and
0.7952 at the outer, so the target draws as ovals that worsen outward, worst
exactly where the ring labels sit. With the projection it is 1.0000 at every
ring.
That measurement also settles where the guard belongs: at the inner ring the
linear error is three parts in a thousand and would pass any sane tolerance. An
assertion placed there alone would be inert against the one mistake it exists to
catch. It goes at the outer ring, and at both.
rega measured a cold load of Simple Research pulling 24 people-group photos, 5.3 MB,
DURING BOOT — alongside the map engine and the API data, on one connection. Nothing was
wrong with any single image. There was no instruction about WHEN to fetch them, so the
browser fetched them all at once, which is the correct behaviour for markup that says
nothing.
Past the first row the cards now load lazily, at low fetch priority, decoded off the main
thread.
★ THE FIRST ROW STAYS EAGER, and that is the half a blanket loading="lazy" gets wrong.
Lazy-loading what the reader is already looking at trades a visible flash of empty cards
for bytes nobody saves. EAGER_IMAGES is a COLUMN COUNT, not a taste: the grid is
repeat(auto-fill, minmax(240px, 1fr)) unless a host overrides cards-per-row, so the first
row is never more than five cards at any width. It is a constant rather than a read of
perRow because the override is the host's state and this only needs a safe CEILING —
generous by a card costs a few KB, short by one lazy-loads something in view.
The size is stated on the element as well as in CSS. .uupg__image already carries
aspect-ratio 1/1, which is what actually reserves the box; width/height repeat the same
1:1 as an intrinsic ratio for the moment before the stylesheet applies. The same truth
twice on purpose, not a second different one.
check:grid-image-loading exists because this component is being MERGED with the regions
list right now, and a merge rewrites markup: four attributes on one <img> survive a review
and not a rewrite, and losing them is invisible — the page still works and costs 5.3 MB
again. It also fails if it cannot find the element, and asserts the first row is eager,
which a bare loading="lazy" would otherwise pass. Negative-tested four ways.
Coordinated with regions-plugin before touching a file they are actively reshaping: their
six hunks bracket this element without touching it, so neither of us collides.
Found by the bug-class sweep. RegionCountryMap is passed :research-url; the
UupgsList beside it is not — zero research mentions in its entire tag. So a host
setting profile-config.researchUrl got it honoured on the map popup's Full
Profile button and silently ignored by every profile link in the country list,
which fell back to a hardcoded doxa.life default.
The shape is worth more than the line: one config, two consumers, only one
bound, and the unbound one carrying a plausible default. A missing binding that
fell back to an empty string would have rendered a visibly broken link; this one
renders a working link to somebody else's site, which is why it survived. It is
invisible in either file alone — the parent's tag list has to be read against
the children's props.
One line. Bundle rebuilt; the binding is in the artifact.
Four reviewed changes to ONE file. SOURCE ONLY — no built artifacts — see the note below.
PRINT. .rm-map-area is flex:1 1 0 and has no height of its own; print layout has no
viewport height, so the box collapsed and the toolbar and legend, positioned against it,
followed its top edge up. Nothing in this render path declared an @media print rule at
all, so the browser's default print stylesheet laid the page out. A profile with no print
rules is not neutral in print; it is unspecified.
MOBILE EXPORT. LegendMobile is opt-in by construction -- its exportEnabled is
`typeof inject('onLegendExport') === 'function'` -- and this profile provided nothing, so
a reader on a phone had no way to export a poster or a packet while the same map on a
desktop did. Provided guarded by EXPORT_FEATURE_ENABLED, the way country-posters does it.
BUSY STATE (bug-class sweep C7). openPoster guarded re-entrancy with a REF wired to
:active/:disabled/:aria-busy; openPacket guarded it with a plain `let`, which drives no UI
because it is not reactive -- so the SLOWER action showed nothing. packetBusy is a ref
now, and legendExportBusy reports either build for the legend's Export menu.
DEAD PROBES. docScrolls and ancestorScrolls were function-local consts, computed and
discarded, kept alive by a comment claiming the edge affordance keyed its indicator off
them. This profile has no such indicator and never calls useEdgeScrollAffordance.
_findScrollportAncestor STAYS: it is still a ResizeObserver target.
Plus two physical CSS properties made logical for RTL, and the verbatim Driver quote in
the scroll-zoom note paraphrased per the L64 policy.
★ WHY NO BUILT OUTPUT. I built this and tried to self-land it, and backed out: staging
public/ wholesale swept in country-posters' artifact and three leaf pages as they were at
MY build base, so the commit carried a REVERT of exp-shepherd's rebuild and a stale
integrity hash for their bundle -- an SRI mismatch, not a cosmetic diff. Caught by
comparing every bundle's integrity against main rather than trusting that a clean rebase
means a clean diff: a rebase resolves TEXT, and an artifact nobody else edited in the same
lines still loses to whichever commit touched it last. main then moved twice more while I
rebuilt. So this is source-only and the build belongs with the build owner, who is
rebuilding these bundles anyway.
Mobile has had a fold control since the narrow layout existed; desktop had none,
so a reader who wanted to see the map underneath had no way to move the legend
off it. The state was already there — every section read "not narrow OR open", so
on desktop the OR was always satisfied and the flag governed nothing. Now the
flag alone decides at both widths.
The control is deliberately not a new one. Same 22x20 caret, same rotation, same
aria contract as the shared SemanticTreeLegend's collapse button, which the
mobile legend also copies. Matching it costs nothing and means a reader who has
met one of these legends has met this one.
Collapsed, the panel shrinks to the caret. Hiding the contents alone would have
left a 380px box of empty background over the map: the reader presses collapse
and gets a blank panel instead of their map, which is worse than having no
control at all.
The choice is remembered for the session, so it survives working with the map but
not a fresh visit, and a remembered choice beats the width default — otherwise
dragging a window across the breakpoint would silently reopen a legend that had
been deliberately closed, undoing a decision rather than responding to one.
Storage access is wrapped: a sandboxed embed throws on it, and a legend that
cannot remember is much better than a map that will not load.
Found by the bug-class sweep. RegionCountryMap is passed :research-url; the
UupgsList beside it is not — zero research mentions in its entire tag. So a host
setting profile-config.researchUrl got it honoured on the map popup's Full
Profile button and silently ignored by every profile link in the country list,
which fell back to a hardcoded doxa.life default.
What makes it the sweep's most useful find is the shape rather than the line:
two consumers of one config, only one wired, and the unwired one carrying a
plausible hardcoded default. A missing binding that fell back to an empty string
would have rendered a visibly broken link; this one renders a working link to
somebody else's site. It is invisible in either file alone — the parent's tag
list has to be read against the children's props.
One line to fix. gates:pre 40/40.
Added a regions-look instance so the merge can be compared side by side against
the standalone one: same component, same cards, only the two props he chose
differing. If anything else differs between those two pages, the merge changed
something it was not asked to.
Then the preview would have proved nothing, and finding that was the point of
building it. These generated pages set exactly ONE attribute —
el.setAttribute('profile-config', JSON.stringify(cfg)) — and never per-prop
attributes. A prop read only from `props` is therefore invisible to every
preconfigured instance: the page would have rendered the default look while its
title announced the variant. A demo that cannot fail.
So the merge props read profile-config as well, with the prop still winning when
a host passes one directly. Measured on the generated page rather than assumed:
BASE_CONFIG carries "filters-toggle":"link" and the element receives it inside
profile-config, never as an attribute.
Bundle rebuilt before the tree, and the props are in the artifact.
⚠ THE SAME GAP LOOKS LIVE FOR show-search / show-filters, and it is not mine to
fix blind: the shipped `driven` instance sets "show-search":"false" in
BASE_CONFIG, and useSearch reads only props.showSearch. If that never arrives,
the driven preview has been rendering its own controls all along while
advertising that they are off. I have not touched it — it needs one look to
confirm before anyone changes behaviour that three hosts embed.
sr caught a layout change hiding inside a styling one. dx-life's root treatment
carries min-height:400px, and shipping that as part of backdrop:'root' was
tempting because it came with it — but in a scroll stack a min-height is a FLOOR
on the grid band, not a backdrop rule. An empty or heavily-filtered grid that
collapses to a short band today would have become 400px tall with a world map
behind it. That is the shape of thing a reader finds before we do. The floor is
now its own opt-in prop, named for what it does.
And the gate sr asked for. "Every default reproduces today's grid exactly" is
the entire safety argument for putting three consumers on one component, and it
is exactly the kind of claim that is true when written and false three props
later — the grid ships in Big Picture, Simple Research and the studio preview,
so a drifted default moves all three at once, silently, because none of them
passes the prop that changed.
It reads the defaults through the SFC and JS parsers rather than by grep, since
a default is an AST node and a regex cannot tokenise JavaScript. It also asserts
the 400px is not hardcoded anywhere in the backdrop, which is the specific
defect above rather than a general rule. Falsified: flipping the backdrop
default to 'root' turns it red. A negative control pins that the reader really
sees defaults, so the arms are not vacuous.
Simple Research's own answer is recorded in the shape of the code: their filters
stay non-collapsible by default, because a collapsed panel on a map-plus-grid
hides the control a reader came to use.
Measuring the two grids changed the shape of this. The ruling reads as porting
the regions dashboard's filters control into this one; the control is already
here. Same class, same show/hide labels, same aria-expanded, same caret. What
differs is the styling: this one is a bordered pill with a hover fill and a
COUNT BADGE of active filters, the regions one is borderless text whose caret
turns over on open.
So the prop is filtersToggle — which toggle, not whether — and 'link' keeps the
count badge. The Driver asked for the look of the control; removing a feature
along with the border would not be a restyle.
The backdrop is the same story. Both sides already use assets/images/worldmap.svg;
this one scopes it to the filters block, the regions dashboard puts it on the
list root at 60% / top / 400px floor, measured off their live page. So backdrop
is a placement prop, and 'root' switches the filters copy OFF — the same artwork
painted twice at two sizes reads as a rendering fault rather than a design.
Both defaults reproduce today's grid exactly, so the three hosts that already
ship it are unchanged until each opts in.
C3 measured before building, as asked: nil. This grid declares no scroll
container and no viewport-height unit, and neither does the regions list it
replaces, so embedding it inside .rd-scroll cannot produce a scroller inside a
scroller.
One defect caught in passing: my first attempt redeclared filtersExpanded, which
already exists. The parse gate named the line, and the duplicate was the thing
that revealed the control was already there.
DRV1650-SR-LEGEND-FILLS-SEARCH-GAP. On Simple Research's Regions and Languages tabs the
search bar is gone but the legend does not rise into the space. The other tabs are fine.
The two-tab split was a predicate, not a coincidence. With no geocoder the legend rises
to 14px UNLESS showsFlyTools() is true, and that returns true for exactly 'doxa-regions',
'language-family' and 'language-families'. It stops at 56px to avoid a MEASURED collision
on country-posters, where LegendTools renders at top:14px — the legend's own slot.
★ BUT showsFlyTools() DESCRIBES THE LEGEND TYPE, NOT WHETHER THE TOOLBAR EXISTS. Fly and
Clusters are leaf-only: the composite — which is what a reader calls "Simple Research" —
passes legendTools:false, so the toolbar is never drawn there and the 56px reserved a
slot for nothing. rega measured it at 1440x900 on main e1d0bc20: the band from the map's
top edge (y 44) to the legend card (y 100) is 56px of EMPTY map on both tabs, with no
LegendTools anywhere in the strip.
So the offset now asks whether the toolbar is RENDERED, not whether the type allows one.
Keying it on the tab name would have closed the Driver's gap and reintroduced the
country-posters collision the moment the tools were shown — the guard is kept, it is
simply asked the right question.
showLegendTools moved ABOVE legendTopVar, which reads it. A computed body is lazy so a
later const would have resolved at runtime, but this file has a TDZ history and
check:setup-order exists because of it; position is cheaper to keep honest than to reason
about.
check-legend-top-offset asserts BOTH inputs are consulted — drop either and it fails —
and that the declaration still precedes its reader. Negative-tested.
This is reading (b) of the two I put to dx-shepherd, chosen because rega measured it
rather than because it was likelier. Reading (a) would have been a cosmetic change to a
toolbar that turned out not to be there.
The Driver asked for a top-right dropdown with Auto plus fixed overrides,
remembered, and said plainly that the CSS already working must not break.
So Auto writes NOTHING. The grid is repeat(auto-fill, minmax(240px, 1fr)),
which already gives one column on a phone and three to five on a desktop by
measuring its container; Auto leaves the stylesheet alone and only an explicit
override sets grid-template-columns. An Auto that computed a number and wrote
it back would look identical until the container resized, and then be silently
wrong — the same picture, with the responsiveness removed.
An override is honoured even when it is a poor idea: five columns on a 390px
phone is a 62px card. That is deliberate. The reader asked for it, Auto is the
default and one click away, and the control shows which is active. Clamping
someone's explicit choice to what we think is sensible is how a control stops
being trusted.
It is remembered per PROFILE, not per bundle. Two grids on one page are two
different lists, and useDashboardLayout already paid for that lesson when a
shared key made one caller inherit another's saved layout. Blocked storage is
caught and ignored: in private mode the default is the correct outcome, not an
error to report.
It sits in its own row rather than in #filters, which is gated on
useSearch || useFilters — a host turning both off would otherwise lose a control
that has nothing to do with either. It modifies the grid, so it lives on the
grid.
Both strings are authored in all eleven catalogues, in the snake_case this
catalogue uses: a camelCase key here would have resolved to nothing and rendered
its own name, which is the defect I shipped in a legend earlier today.
Per the 17:25Z rule: no quotes, no citations and no transcript references
in strings, commits or code. Studio had to strip these from two of my
commit messages during L64, which is a sign I should be doing it at the
source rather than leaving it to whoever lands the work.
Nine sites across five files, all of them lines I added. The engineering
content is unchanged -- what goes is the attribution, not the reasoning.
"A disabled button is visually indistinguishable from an unresponsive one"
is the durable fact; who observed it is provenance a later reader cannot
verify and that ties shipped code to a private transcript.
Where a decision is genuinely still open I keep the tracking reference
("still open, tracked as row 89") but not the speaker, because a reader
hitting that comment needs to know the value may change and where the
answer will come from.
Scope is deliberately my own unlanded additions. packet-render.js,
PosterWall.vue and upg-100-list.vue carry many more such comments from
before the rule; those are not mine and a fleet-wide sweep is a separate
decision. Flagged rather than silently rewritten.
All seven gates green after the edit, including the two whose own header
text changed.
The button shows only on a discovered tab with an entry in experimentalHelp.js. It opens a modal
dialog titled with the tab name: focus moves to Close, Tab stays inside, Escape or Close returns
focus to the button, and switching tab closes it. close is a new shell string in all 11 locales.
Follow-up on DRV1650-SR-POSTER-EXPORT: the print came out vertical, where a horizontal map fits the shape better.
The export asked for 8.5x11 portrait unconditionally, so a landscape map was letterboxed
onto a tall sheet -- white above and below, the map small in the middle. That was the
other half of the wrong vertical aspect; the first half was the tile slicing, fixed in
859bb268.
Orientation now follows the map: landscape when the map's own container is wider than it
is tall, portrait otherwise. The PAPER is unchanged -- still 8.5x11 stock, only turned --
so the sheet stays a size printers have rather than becoming a custom one.
Measured from map.getContainer() rather than from the window, because the map may be one
pane of a composite and it is the MAP's shape being exported, not the browser's.
My scripted migration inserted the import behind a guard that silently did not fire:
`if 'defineMapElement' not in s.split('function')[0]` became false as soon as the
inserted CALL appeared before the first `function` keyword — so the files that most
needed the import were exactly the ones that did not get it. 11 of 16.
Every one of those elements would have thrown "defineMapElement is not defined" on
load. A bundler does not error on a free identifier; only loading does. studio caught it
in L64 via landing-preconditions, which imports each profile, and fixed it there
(37f75601) plus added an arm to check:element-bootstrap.
This repairs the same 11 on this branch so it is not a landmine if it lands after L64,
and it is byte-equivalent to studio's fix in effect. Verified by PARSING each entry and
resolving the identifier against its import bindings — 16 of 16 bound — rather than by
re-running the kind of regex that wrote the bug.
The element-bootstrap migration called defineMapElement in eleven entry files that never
imported it. A build does not fail on an unbound name; the element does, the moment it loads,
with 'defineMapElement is not defined'. The landing precondition caught it by importing each
profile. check:element-bootstrap now fails when an entry calls the helper without importing it.
On mobile, selecting countries and pressing Prayer list reported zero UPGs and would not generate a prayer list.
selectedTerritories holds three kinds -- 'zone' (a legend row), 'adm0' (a
country tapped on the map) and 'adm1' (an India state / China province) --
and selectedLists() kept only 'zone'. So a map selection resolved to an
empty list and selectionAsList threw "nothing selected", while the HUD,
which sums t.count straight off the selection, showed a correct non-zero
total. Two sources of truth for one selection is why it read as a nonsense
error rather than an empty state: the app said 87 and the generator said
zero.
The adm0 key already carries the ISO3, which IS country_code on a
people-group row, so a tapped country becomes a country_codes selector the
evaluator already handles. No new selector type, and a mixed selection
unions and de-duplicates for free. The cover label now names the countries
too -- built from lists alone it was empty, and reduce() on an empty array
throws, so the packet would have died on its cover even after the selector
was fixed.
adm1 cannot resolve and that is a data fact, not an oversight: a
people-group row has no province field and the evaluator has no adm1 case.
Folding it into the country union would print a packet for the whole
COUNTRY while the reader had selected one STATE -- a plausible packet that
is quietly wrong. So it is refused BY NAME, which "nothing selected" was
not: that is a lie the reader can see is false with their selection
highlighted on the map.
Also, nothing showed that the action was running: batchBusy only
DISABLED the buttons, and a disabled button is visually indistinguishable
from an unresponsive one, so on a phone you tap, see nothing change, and
tap again. busyAction names which action is running so only that button
relabels, and it is cleared in every finally -- otherwise a failed print
leaves the button reading "Working..." forever.
check-selection-kinds.mjs reads the kinds OUT of resolveTerritory rather
than listing them, because listing them is how this survived: 'adm0'
existed in the resolver and nowhere in the consumer, and a test written
from the same mental list as the consumer would have missed it too.
Mutation-tested: reverting the guard, dropping the selector, and leaving
busyAction uncleared each fail with their own message.
The Driver asked for the arrow on the people-group grid and on the regions list.
Those needed different wiring, and the reason is worth recording because it is
not a preference.
The regions dashboard owns its scroller: .rd-scroll has overflow-y:auto, so the
plugin mounts the button itself and drives its own element. It deliberately does
not touch the page's scroll — this renders inside a shadow root in someone
else's page, and their scroll is not ours to move.
The people-group grid owns no scroller at all. .pgg-root sets no overflow and
.pgg-body has no rule; the grid simply grows and something outside it scrolls.
In this shell that something is .vtl-host, which lives in the layout, outside
every plugin's shadow root, so the grid could not reach it even if it should.
So the arrow for that surface belongs in the layout, beside the circle the
layout already owns, driving the pane it already owns. The grid is untouched.
.vtl-host is per tab, so the arrow follows `active` rather than binding one ref,
or it would scroll whichever pane rendered last.
One component, two consumers, and each drives a scroller it actually owns.
Checked that this adds nothing to the hardcoded-English census: 256 before, 256
after — the three regions entries there are PosterWall prop literals and predate
this.
DRV1650-SR-EMBED-URL-RUNTIME-ORIGIN. The Driver copied
`research-map-plus-grid/research-map-plus-grid/index.html` from a page at
http://127.0.0.1:5192/, a link that works on no other site.
resolveShareUrl's tier 1 returns its input VERBATIM, correctly: a host handing over a
whole url has already decided. So a composite that BUILDS a tier-1 url takes on tier 2's
job, and both of mine wrote the same thing:
base ? base + '/' + leaf : leaf
On any host where the tree root cannot be derived from the script url — a dev server, an
ESM build, a tree served from a path that does not match `<name>/<name>.js` — base is ''
and the else branch hands tier 1 a bare relative path, which it then returns unresolved.
★ IT LOOKS RIGHT IN THE ONE PLACE ANYONE CHECKS. A relative share link WORKS WHEN
CLICKED, because the browser resolves it against the page you copied it from. It is the
EMBED that breaks — an <iframe src="…"> on a partner's page resolves against THEIRS — so
the failure is invisible exactly where it is tested and visible only where it ships.
research-map-plus-grid.vue:174 even documents the requirement ("It MUST be absolute,
which is the non-obvious part") four lines above the branch that violates it.
absoluteEmbedUrl() is tier 2's resolution made available to tier-1 builders: the
configured base when known, otherwise resolved against document.baseURI, which yields the
runtime origin. Never relative in a browser. The ladder is unchanged; only its last rung
is.
The gate has both arms, because either alone would rot: the RESOLVER must be absolute
with no base (the failing case, not the passing one), and no plugin may rebuild the
`: leaf` fallback. Negative-tested: removing the origin fallback, and re-introducing the
ternary in a plugin, each turn it red.
"Copy link didn't work" is most likely the same defect rather than a second one —
ShareButton's copy already falls back from navigator.clipboard to execCommand for
insecure contexts, so the copy almost certainly succeeded and produced a useless URL. If
it still fails after this, it is a separate bug and needs a browser to see.
Goal (c), and it turned into a goal (d) fix. Every profile element is
defineCustomElement(ProfileLoader, { configureApp }), and the configureApp has four
steps. The fourth, app.provide('appI18n', i18n), is the one that gets dropped.
ProfileLoader injects that instance (ProfileLoader.vue:176) to drive its locale from
profile-config. Without the provide the watcher holds null and the drive NEVER RUNS --
while setRuntimeLocale() on the next line still fires, so tStatic strings DO follow the
host. The element renders a convincing MIXTURE of the reader's language and English, and
nothing throws, because the t() shim falls back to its key. It reads as "a few strings
not translated yet".
SHIPPING THAT TODAY: country-posters, key-cities, gospel-resources, cities-internet and
my-upg-100-list. regions-plugin censused all 19 entry files independently and found the
same five and no sixth. The measurement is regions-dashboard's, from when they hit it:
a Spanish catalogue present, es set, and every t() string still English.
All sixteen entries now call library/elements/defineMapElement.js, so the five are fixed
by construction rather than by five separate edits. Behaviour is otherwise identical --
same options, same element names, same per-plugin extras. wall-of-people-groups needed
the helper to hand its pinia back, because it takes a store off its own instance and a
helper that hid pinia would have given it a second one: two stores and a silent state
split.
★ AND THE CENSUS THAT RECOMMENDED THIS SAW FOUR OF SIXTEEN. My detector hashed function
BODIES; eleven sites are not `function buildXElement()` at all, they are
`const El = defineCustomElement(...)`. I wrote "every number here is a lower bound" in
the census as a caveat and it was the headline within the hour -- a 4x undercount of the
item it recommended. So this gate greps for the SHAPE, not for a known list: a check
written around the four that matched would have passed the twelve that did not.
check-element-bootstrap has two arms. No entry may build a profile element by hand, and
the helper itself must provide appI18n -- PLANTED as a negative case, so the regression
cannot return by editing library instead of a plugin. It also fails if it finds fewer
than ten entries, because a detection that stops matching reports the same green as a
tree with no problems.
THE PLANT CAUGHT TWO BUGS IN THIS GATE BEFORE IT CAUGHT ANYTHING ELSE. The predicate
matched the helper's DOCSTRING, so it would have passed a helper that only mentions the
provide in prose -- comments are stripped now, because a check that reads comments is
reading the author's intentions rather than the program. And the plant itself used /m
instead of /gm, so it deleted the documentation and left the code, then reported that it
could not detect an absence that was not there.
Dictation was "doing better before" sentence detection was switched on for the robot voice: with
asr.endpointing.enable the server ends an utterance at every ~0.8 s pause and the next one starts fresh.
- Default (robot voice off): the speech server runs exactly as it shipped — plain streaming, no pause cutting.
- Robot voice on (High performance mode): the server is restarted with sentence detection, which speaking
sentence by sentence needs; turning the robot off restarts it without. A switch made mid-recording waits
until Stop, so a recording is never cut. A planned restart is not reported as a crash.
- Robot voice pipelined: the next sentence is synthesised while the current one plays, so the ~1 s gap
between spoken sentences is gone (same work, overlapped).
- Verified against a stand-in speech server (go -race): startup without the flag; robot on → restart with
it; robot off while recording → deferred; after Stop → restart without; 0 data races.
The legend was stacked below the chart in a centred column. On its own it is
taller than the pane — a 360px card with a nine-cell grid and four footer lines —
so the figure was pushed out of view entirely and the panel overflowed its host:
the legend covered the row beneath it and the caption drew over the page tabs.
The chart was not visible at all at 1440x900.
It is now a row: figure left, legend right, which is also the side placement the
legend was asked for. Every flex child takes min-height and min-width 0, because
a flex item's default minimum is its content size — without that an item never
shrinks below its natural height and the container overflows however little room
it has. That default is what turned a tall card into an unbounded one. Under
900px it returns to a column and scrolls rather than clipping.
Both charts now clear the centre tab strip, which is absolutely positioned near
the top and was covering the top of the bounded set's dots and all of the
centered set's caption. The bounded set also takes overflow:hidden, so a tall
caption can never do to it what the legend did to its neighbour.
Nothing about the counts changes. The page reads 2,082 placed where a slug-only
join predicts 2,074: the difference is the name-and-country fallback recovering
eight of the sixteen groups the neighbour table carries no slug for, and both
readings still sum to the full 2,107.
rega's census refutes the min-height diagnosis I gave, and the arithmetic is what
settles it. Inside section.dms-pane the CONTENT measures exactly the viewport: 900 in a
794px pane at 1440x900, 844 in a 712px pane at 390x844. The overflow is not "about the
DX-life header", it IS the header -- 106 and 132 px -- and it happens on 12 of 16 tabs
INCLUDING plugins that assert no floor of their own, which is what proves the floor is
not theirs.
library/ProfileLoader.vue:336 floors EVERY profile at
`min-height: var(--profile-min-h, 100dvh)`. That measures against the VIEWPORT while the
pane measures against its HOST, so wherever anything sits above the gallery the profile
is taller than the pane by exactly that chrome, and .dms-pane's overflow-y:auto scrolls
the whole plugin -- tab strip included. ProfileLoader documents the trap and documents
the only lever: the floor is inside the child's SHADOW ROOT, where no host-page selector
reaches, so an inherited custom property is all a host has. `--profile-min-h: 0`.
IT IS TWO THIRDS OF A FIX, NOT A NEW DEFECT. .vtl-host and plugin-studio's .ps-pane
already set it. .dms-pane was copied from .vtl-host -- its own comment says "porting the
same proven shape" -- and took the first two lines: fill the host, own the overflow. The
third, release the child's viewport floor, is the one that makes the other two safe.
So the gate now asserts the THREE AS ONE SHAPE: a rule that is absolutely-filling AND
scrolling must release the floor. It also FAILS if it cannot find such a rule at all,
because a gate that silently stops finding its subject is the failure I spent this
morning removing from check:i18n-keys-exist -- a check that matches nothing reports the
same green as a check that matches everything.
Negative-tested: removing the opt-out from either pane fails it, and changing the pane's
shape so the gate cannot recognise it fails it too rather than passing blind.
MY DIAGNOSIS WAS SECOND-ORDER AND I SHOULD SAY SO PLAINLY. The min-height floors were
real and worth fixing, but they only bite when a plugin's own floor exceeds the pane.
This bites on every tab at every size. I reasoned from source to the first mechanism
that explained the one symptom I had been shown, and the tall-desktop arm -- the one I
asked rega to run precisely because it would refute me -- is what separated them.
gospel's boundedSet and centeredSet move to library/components/charts, and every
importer follows in the same commit: gospel-internet's two components and the
gate. One implementation, no window in which someone edits the wrong copy.
gospel chose this over copying, for the reason the shared scatter already showed.
Two print-safe components come with them, adapted from gospel's rather than
written fresh: theirs fetch and hold board state, these take joined groups and
every label as props, so the packet and the board draw the same figure from the
same code. gospel's already inked their tallies and used no hover, so the
adaptation is the data path and the labels, not the drawing.
The labels had to change, and not for style: gospel's read T('gospelInternet.…'),
and a gospelInternet-namespaced key cannot resolve for another area's consumer,
so the packet would have rendered the English fallback in every locale. Labels
are props now.
Three invariants gospel gave me that the comments did not carry are pinned here:
No seed prop. Position is hashed from the group's own id, so a group lands in the
same place on every render, forever — two printings of one packet are identical
and a reader comparing sheets sees real movement rather than reshuffling. I had
specced a seed; it would have silently rescrambled every dot while the data was
unchanged, which on paper cannot be corrected. Asserted through the parser, and
adding one back turns it red.
Every ring is listed, empty ones included. Under a filter several of the nine go
to zero, and a decoder that omits its empty rows stops being a decoder: a reader
cannot tell "none here" from "this ring does not exist".
And an arrow is a claim about a relationship, so a group with no recorded
neighbour gets none rather than a default one toward the centre.
The unknown-is-counted rule is now in the module header where the next reader
meets it first, at gospel's request: a printed page has no hover, so a category
the reader cannot see is one they will assume is zero.
rega's 3c3bde71 fixed a real defect: ShareButton is the map toolbar's 40px round
control plus a 2px ring, so it measured 44px inside a 38px bar and overflowed it. At
28px + ring it matches the search box, which is what the Driver asked for.
The side effect is that the TAP TARGET went to 32px, and this repo states its own floor
twice -- DataTable.vue:294, "44px is the accessible tap target; anything smaller is a
miss on a phone", and LegendDesktop.vue:124 sizes rows to keep it. Nothing in the change
said otherwise; the target simply followed the drawing, which is what tap targets do
unless someone stops them.
A transparent box centred on the button restores it without moving a pixel: absolutely
positioned so it changes no layout, and part of the button so it takes the same clicks.
The visual stays exactly as the Driver approved.
44 WIDE, 38 TALL, AND THE 6px IS DELIBERATE. The bar is 38px, so a 44px-tall target
would hang 3px over the filters row and start taking taps meant for a filter -- one miss
traded for another. 44x38 is the largest target that costs nothing else. Closing the
last 6px needs a taller bar, and the Driver has just decided that axis in the other
direction, so it is asked rather than assumed.
check:i18n-keys-exist reported PASS over two planted poison keys in gospel-internet,
three rounds running, and over 12 real keys its new panels name that exist in no
locale. Reproduced before changing anything: with both poisons on disk the gate found
1 missing key; it now finds 15 on that same tree — the 2 poisons plus the 12.
TWO CAUSES, EITHER ALONE ENOUGH TO HIDE EVERYTHING.
factoriesIn() demanded the exact shape `export function useX() { return useOptionalT('ns') }`.
useGiT is no longer that. It became a WRAPPER -- `const t = useOptionalT()` and a
returned arrow adding an English-fallback argument -- which is ordinary refactoring and
moved the bundle outside this gate: useGiT was not a factory, so `const T = useGiT()`
was not an alias, so every T('…') was not a call site. Discovery now also accepts an
exported function whose body BUILDS a translator, reading a namespace only when the
call states one literally.
And when a namespace could not be read, `if (ns === null) continue` dropped the binding
in silence. That is the line that turned "I cannot see this" into "there is nothing to
see", and it is why the bundle passed by having nothing looked at. Note what it is NOT:
useOptionalT('') gives ns === '', an author DECLARING no namespace, which was already
handled and counted. Empty is a decision; null was this gate's own ignorance.
Such a binding is now registered for the FULL-KEY pass anyway -- a fully dotted key is
checkable whatever the namespace is, which is what catches both poisons -- while the
BARE calls it genuinely cannot qualify are counted, listed by binding, and FAIL. The
gate states which translators it could not resolve instead of scoring them clean.
Both poisons are pinned as permanent fixtures HERE rather than left in gospel's tree,
so the proof does not depend on another agent keeping deliberately-broken code on main.
The fixture asserts the four things that were independently broken: a wrapper factory is
discovered, no namespace is guessed for one that states none, its binding still reaches
the full-key pass, and a bare key behind it is recorded rather than skipped.
Negative-tested: restoring the silent `continue`, or narrowing discovery back to
one-liners, each fails the self-test; restored, it passes.
NOT wired into gates:pre and left on demand, as it already was. It reports 13 real
missing keys on today's main -- 12 of gospel's panel keys plus a pre-existing
legend.noList -- and those are their owners' to add, not this gate's to hide.
Goal (c), and it turned into a goal (d) fix. Every profile element is
defineCustomElement(ProfileLoader, { configureApp }), and the configureApp has four
steps. The fourth, app.provide('appI18n', i18n), is the one that gets dropped.
ProfileLoader injects that instance (ProfileLoader.vue:176) to drive its locale from
profile-config. Without the provide the watcher holds null and the drive NEVER RUNS --
while setRuntimeLocale() on the next line still fires, so tStatic strings DO follow the
host. The element renders a convincing MIXTURE of the reader's language and English, and
nothing throws, because the t() shim falls back to its key. It reads as "a few strings
not translated yet".
SHIPPING THAT TODAY: country-posters, key-cities, gospel-resources, cities-internet and
my-upg-100-list. regions-plugin censused all 19 entry files independently and found the
same five and no sixth. The measurement is regions-dashboard's, from when they hit it:
a Spanish catalogue present, es set, and every t() string still English.
All sixteen entries now call library/elements/defineMapElement.js, so the five are fixed
by construction rather than by five separate edits. Behaviour is otherwise identical --
same options, same element names, same per-plugin extras. wall-of-people-groups needed
the helper to hand its pinia back, because it takes a store off its own instance and a
helper that hid pinia would have given it a second one: two stores and a silent state
split.
★ AND THE CENSUS THAT RECOMMENDED THIS SAW FOUR OF SIXTEEN. My detector hashed function
BODIES; eleven sites are not `function buildXElement()` at all, they are
`const El = defineCustomElement(...)`. I wrote "every number here is a lower bound" in
the census as a caveat and it was the headline within the hour -- a 4x undercount of the
item it recommended. So this gate greps for the SHAPE, not for a known list: a check
written around the four that matched would have passed the twelve that did not.
check-element-bootstrap has two arms. No entry may build a profile element by hand, and
the helper itself must provide appI18n -- PLANTED as a negative case, so the regression
cannot return by editing library instead of a plugin. It also fails if it finds fewer
than ten entries, because a detection that stops matching reports the same green as a
tree with no problems.
THE PLANT CAUGHT TWO BUGS IN THIS GATE BEFORE IT CAUGHT ANYTHING ELSE. The predicate
matched the helper's DOCSTRING, so it would have passed a helper that only mentions the
provide in prose -- comments are stripped now, because a check that reads comments is
reading the author's intentions rather than the program. And the plant itself used /m
instead of /gm, so it deleted the documentation and left the code, then reported that it
could not detect an absence that was not there.
L62 moved zone-regions.json and groupings.json into data/tables/, so the tree
copies them into the asset pool and both plugins read one file. This fetches
them rather than importing: a relative import into another plugin's folder is
refused, and a per-plugin copy is the drift the single-source move exists to
prevent.
groupings.label is a definition, not a name, and using it as one would have made
the legend unreadable. Measured on the published file, the labels run from 7 to
206 characters and the long ones are the zone's member list — Tibet's names ten
provinces and three countries. Exactly one of the fourteen is a plain name. So
the tree names a zone from its slug, which is uniform by construction, and the
label is carried separately as the definition it actually is, for somewhere with
room to say what a zone contains.
The tree is built and counted; nothing filters on it yet. Mapping a group to a
zone still runs through the older partition, which places 69 groups in the wrong
printable zone, and that is the Driver's open question.
rega shot the hover dim at 1440 and called the non-hovered pins pale rings on
the pastel fills. That is what they were, and the cause is a property that was
never set: circle-opacity dims the FILL only, and circle-stroke-opacity is a
separate property defaulting to 1. So a pin dimmed to 0.25 kept a fully opaque
1px white stroke, and at the dimmed radius that ring is most of the pin.
Worth saying plainly, because the obvious fix was to keep the stroke opaque
while dimming the fill: that was already the behaviour, and it was the cause
rather than the cure. The stroke now dims with the fill, so a non-hovered pin
recedes as a dot instead of becoming an outline. The fill dims less as well,
0.25 to 0.45, and the dimmed radius goes 2.5 to 3 at low zoom for the same
reason the resting state was raised earlier: a stroke is a fixed px cost, so at
radius 2.5 the coloured core carrying the region's identity is about 1.5px.
dx-life's two modes keep an opaque stroke; only the chooser's dim is ours.
The property is set in both places. A paint property added at layer creation but
not re-applied where the mode is re-applied never updates on hover, which is the
bug this file already carries a warning about.
The map below the fold, measured at 1440 with the container at 1200: the map's
top sits at about 583px and the map is 780px tall, because min-height beats what
16/9 asks for at that width. A reader sees roughly its top 190px. Tightening the
three gaps above it and dropping the outsized title one step recovers about
99px, so about 286px shows on load. It does not put the whole map above the fold
and nothing leaving the map 780px tall can; that needs the map bounded by
viewport height, which changes its rendered size and is on the Driver's sheet.
Scoped to the all-regions page and to 1200px and up, because the region and
country pages are the clone and their rhythm is measured against dx-life.
Rebuilt on current main rather than merged, so the shared manifests carry every
other bundle's current hash and only this bundle's moved: four lines, one
integrity plus the three script tags that embed it.
The API returns imb_gsec as { value:'1', label:'…' }. It was missing from
NESTED_FIELDS, so describeGroup did Number({value:'1'}) -> NaN, the level
never matched, and the reachedness sentence was dropped for every group --
silently, because dropping a clause is the deliberate design for a missing
field. Every profile description shipped at half length.
Measured through the real normalizer and real catalogue: nested -> one
sentence, flattened -> two.
GOSPEL'S LEGEND RENDERS IN THE BROWSER and needs these zones at runtime; a
build-time import path would not reach the bundle. data/tables/ is the pool the
tree copies into public/dx-maps/assets/tables/, which is how near-neighbors.json
already reaches a browser, so this makes the zone data a single source the same
way (dx-shepherd, 2026-09-28).
admin-to-list.json deliberately does NOT move: it waits on the Driver's row 87,
the "zones fold" regeneration.
★ TWO ROOTS IN internal/check-list-selection.mjs, NOT ONE. Its readJson helper
reads all three files through a single DATA constant, and only two moved.
Collapsing them to one root silently breaks whichever file is not where you
pointed — so the helper now routes admin-to-list.json to the plugin dir and the
other two to data/tables/, with the reason in the comment.
★ THE ASSET-POOL COPY IS MANUAL, AND IT HAS ALREADY DRIFTED. There is no
automated copier: `git grep` finds no rule in vite.config.js or internal/ that
writes public/dx-maps/assets/tables/, and exp's rings note says the same ("only
the tree copies tables"). Measured before copying: data/tables has 309 json
files, the asset pool 304 — and the five missing were groupings.json,
zone-regions.json AND THREE THAT PREDATE THIS COMMIT (index.json,
open-doors.json, platform-reachability.json). So these two would have joined an
existing gap rather than created one. Both are copied here and verified with
cmp; the other three are reported separately, not silently fixed in a move
commit.
Paths verified to resolve, not assumed: P(GROUPINGS) and the REGIONS join both
resolve to existing files. Gates green after the move: check:list-selection,
check:selector-fields, check:describe-group, region-hue-proof.
PM-tok, PRODUCTION-MATRIX.md:285. `tokenUrl` names a token SERVICE a host points at
instead of pasting a key: the element asks that URL when it was handed no token. Only
ProfileLoader ever read it. A pane composite bakes its children in rather than mounting
them through ProfileLoader, so a composite embedded BARE -- one tag on a partner's page,
which is the entire point of a composite -- dropped a tokenUrl-only config on the floor.
It worked in every place anyone looked, because a ProfileLoader elsewhere on the page
fetched and published the token: the composite was passing an exam somebody else sat.
And the failure wears the wrong face. No token is "No Mapbox access token provided",
0 tiles, no canvas -- identical to a missing `tk`, which IS threaded -- so the natural
reading is that the host mistyped their config rather than that a knob is unread.
The rule lives in library/composables, not in each composite, because it has already
been copied once (ProfileLoader.vue:132) and a third and fourth copy is how one of them
later learns to ask ALWAYS -- which a token service billed per call notices before we do.
The pure decision is split into host-token-url.js with NO framework import, because a
fresh worktree has no node_modules and a module importing vue is unloadable by the gate
that proves it right. Same shape as describeGroup keeping countryName injectable.
check-composite-token-url takes its expectation from ProfileLoader -- the contract a
composite REPLACES -- not from the composites it audits, so it cannot pass by
construction; it exercises the decision rather than grepping for it; and it finds its
subjects by a PROPERTY, a production bundle already forwarding `tk: hostToken`, so a
third composite is covered the day it is written. stack-demo has the same shape and is
excluded by its STAGE, not by name, so promoting it pulls it in automatically.
Negative-tested 5 ways. The fifth found a bug in the gate itself: /tokenUrl/ also matches
`tokenUrlX`, so the check meant to notice the contract being renamed could not fail. It
is \btokenUrl\b now. A guard that cannot fail is the one nobody ever finds by reading.
Both set charts reported "not drawn: 2,104". The join read g.country, and on
these rows country is the country's NAME while the neighbour table keys on ISO
3166 alpha-3, so the pair never matched — and because the rop3 half is absent
from these rows too, nothing matched at all. Measured against the shipped tables
with real names and real codes: the name path resolves 0 of 12,379 rows as
written, and 6,850 once the ISO code is used.
It survived my own verification because I measured the join with the province
table standing in for the dashboard's rows, and those rows carry iso3 rather
than country. The stand-in satisfied the key I had chosen, so the measurement
confirmed the code against a shape the real caller does not have. A proxy has to
match the caller in the fields the code reads, or it is only testing itself.
Three keys now, strongest first. Slug is the only one that is a single field on
both sides and unique by construction, since the table's build refuses to emit
two rows sharing one; rop3 with the ISO code is a compound key these rows may
not carry; name with the ISO code depends on two sources spelling a people the
same way, so it stays the last resort rather than the first guess. A row
carrying only a name is still better joined than dropped.
The slug column is not in the table yet. Each key is indexed only when its field
is present, so today the slug map is empty and every lookup falls through —
verified against the shipped table: 0 slug keys, no entry keyed on a missing
value, and a slug lookup returns undefined rather than colliding. That makes
this safe to land before or after the column arrives.
Rudder is built for a thin client: by default the whole budget goes to speech-to-text and nothing of the
robot voice runs or even loads.
- Settings → Robot voice is marked "experimental". Ticking it first shows a warning (in the page, not a
browser dialog the desktop webview may block): it runs an extra voice engine, uses more CPU and ~150 MB
while it speaks, and can slow voice-to-text on a smaller laptop or shared dev server. "Turn on anyway"
switches to High performance mode; the settings show the current mode.
- Engine: POST /api/rudder/mode {robot} switches thin-client ↔ high performance, and refuses the robot when
the machine has under ~500 MB available (/proc/meminfo) — a voice tool must never crash someone's laptop.
/api/rudder/tts refuses in thin-client mode, so an old saved setting can't start the robot either. In
thin-client mode Piper would yield the CPU; in high performance mode it runs at normal priority.
- The voice list loads only when the robot voice is turned on; a robot voice left on re-enters high
performance mode on the next visit (the engine re-checks memory).
- Verified on the engine: starts thin-client; speaking refused (409); on → high-performance; speaks; off →
thin-client; speaking refused again.
The Driver: the share button at the top right of the Big Picture dashboard is too large. Measured: the
research-dashboard topbar is 38px tall, but ShareButton is the map toolbar's 40px round button (36px under
768px) plus a 2px rainbow ring, so 44px, taller than the bar it sits in, and clipped top and bottom.
In this bar only (.rd-topbar), the button is 28px and its icon 15px: with the ring it is 32px, the height of the
bar's own search box, centred with 5px above and below. Measured after, at 1440 and 390, on the Big Picture
(dashboard-plus-grid) and research-dashboard leaves: the bar stays 38px; the title, search box and Align button
keep their sizes. Map toolbars keep their 40px share button. Rebuilt research-dashboard + dashboard-plus-grid,
tree regenerated.
Pure, and it takes the zone tables as arguments rather than importing them: they
belong to another plugin and a relative import into its folder is refused. They
reach the browser as a published table instead, so the caller fetches and passes
them in. That also makes this testable without fixture files.
Region ids carry a prefix, and that is load-bearing rather than tidy. The legend
emits one bare string on one channel — a leaf emits its zone id, a region row
emits the region's — and the two id spaces overlap: of 33 zone ids and 7 region
ids the intersection is exactly "europe", whose region is itself. Un-namespaced,
that string cannot say whether it means the region or the leaf. It is invisible
only because region europe currently holds exactly one zone, which is a fact
about today's data rather than a property of the design; the day a second
European zone is filed, clicking the region would filter to one zone instead of
several with no error. The component needs no change — it emits whatever id the
tree gives it.
There is deliberately no "select all" case. Zones absent from the region table
have no region, so no expansion over regions can reach them; a sweep has to
enumerate zones, and offering a region-based all would quietly return a subset.
The Driver's least favourite bug: on DX Life's research page a capability-4 plugin
with tabs at the top had a second, element-level scrollbar, and scrolling it scrolled
the TAB HEADER out of view.
doxa-maps-spa pins each fixed-viewport plugin with position:absolute;inset:0;height:
100% and its own comment states the invariant: "fills the pane exactly, so
scrollHeight===clientHeight and overflow:auto paints NO scrollbar." CSS never granted
that. A used height is CLAMPED between min-height and max-height, so a child's own
min-height BEATS the height:100% the shell sets -- it is a floor, not a preference.
Wherever the pane was shorter than that floor the pinned element grew taller than the
pane it was meant to fill, .dms-slot grew with it, and .dms-pane's overflow-y:auto
became a real scroll container wrapping the WHOLE plugin, tab strip included. That is
the second scrollbar: not the plugin's content scroller, the PANE scrolling the plugin
bodily. The invariant was written as a description and was only ever a hope.
The shell now pins with min-height:0. An inline style outranks a child's :host rule,
so that one property restores the invariant for every fixed-viewport plugin at once
without editing any of them. It is NOT added to the scroll-stack branch, where
natural height is the design.
A floor set INSIDE a child's shadow root is out of reach from the shell, and two of
mine had one. research-dashboard's .rd-shell and big-picture's .bp-root now say
min-height:inherit, deferring to :host -- which the gallery pins to 0, and which a
naive page leaves at its own floor, so the collapse guard those floors exist for is
kept rather than deleted. big-picture's 480px MOVED UP to :host rather than being
dropped: :host had no floor there, so inheriting would have quietly resolved to 0
everywhere and thrown away the black-screen guard its own comment calls load-bearing.
check-one-scroll-container asserts both halves, because either alone rots: the shell
still pins with min-height:0, and no plugin grows a NEW floor inside its shadow root.
The second half is what matters later -- a fixed shell plus a plugin that adds
min-height:700px next month is this bug again and nobody would connect it.
The rule is a CONTRADICTION IN ONE DECLARATION, not a large min-height by itself: an
element saying height:100% ("I fill whatever holds me") while refusing to be shorter
than N. My first version flagged any big min-height and caught gospel-resources'
.gd-map, a map deliberately sized height:80svh that scrolls inside its root's own
content scroller -- the one scrollbar a plugin is allowed. Flagging it would have sent
its owner after a non-bug, which is worse than not having the gate.
Negative-tested: removing min-height:0 from the shell, and reverting either .rd-shell
or .bp-root to a constant, each add a failure; restored, only the known one remains.
RED ON PURPOSE, and deliberately NOT in gates:pre. gospel-internet's .gb still carries
min-height:640px and that fix is its owner's. Wiring a red gate into gates:pre would
block the fleet on someone else's file, so the gates:pre entry belongs in the same
landing that fixes .gb -- until then this gate is the work item, afterwards the guard.
Source only: doxa-maps-spa, research-dashboard and big-picture need rebuilding, which
is the build owner's to do.
zone-regions.json was missing madhya-pradesh, uttarakhand and west-bengal. All
three are in clusters.json AND groupings.json — printable, grouped zones with no
region — so their groups reached a reader only through the vertical legend's
unassigned bucket, which is honest but wrong for a list picker.
★ THE FOUR NAMES IN THE REPORT WERE NOT ZONE IDS, and following them literally
would have created rows that match nothing. The report said guizhou, xinjiang,
bihar, madhya-pradesh; the canonical ids are fully qualified
(asia-china-guizhou-province, asia-india-madhya-pradesh, …), and the bare
`bihar` that exists is an admin-to-list.json KEY whose value IS the zone id.
Only ONE of the four (madhya-pradesh) was a zone at all; the other three are
absent from clusters.json and go to the zone-universe card as a product
question, not a data edit.
★ AND THE REPORTED SET WAS INCOMPLETE. Checking the PROPERTY — which printable
zones lack a region — rather than the four names found uttarakhand and
west-bengal by the identical two-file test. Second time today an enumeration
handed over was short: the wagf fetch was 6 reported / 8 real. regions-plugin's
gap number could never have contained these, because it is admin-to-list VALUES
minus zone-regions KEYS and none of them is an admin-to-list value — their
output now states it is a lower bound.
deaf-old-world and deaf-new-world-asia-pacific stay unfiled by design: the
"deaf": "exempt" umbrella key covers them (dx-shepherd).
Lands ATOMICALLY with regions' f3c050ae, which updates the pinned gap to
[guizhou, xinjiang, bihar] and asserts these three STAY filed — filing is as
revertible as any data edit. Verified the pair before sending: their gate
against this data exits 0.
Dropping the floor outright removed a guard. :host here was only display:block,
so an embed that gives the element no height leaves .gb{height:100%} resolving
against an auto-height parent and renders nothing — the collapse the floor was
there to prevent. The standalone leaf hides this, because it sizes the element
with position:fixed and inset:0; an arbitrary embed does not.
The floor belongs on :host, which is where every other plugin keeps it —
research-map at 320px, people-groups at 420px, big-picture at 480px. This plugin
was the one that put it on the inner root instead, and that is the whole bug: on
the host it guards a collapse while a shell that sizes its own pane can override
it from outside, whereas on .gb it could only push the element past its pane and
hand the host a second scrollbar across the tab strip.
The value is carried over unchanged rather than tuned while it moves, though
640px is the largest floor in the fleet and worth a second look on its own.
First live use: one sentence came out as two.
- A pause is not a sentence end: the engine finalises after 0.8 s of silence, a breath mid-sentence
included, and the robot spoke that fragment alone. A final that doesn't end in . ! or ? is now held and
joined to what's said next; spoken as it is after 2.5 s of silence or on Stop.
- The comma break for run-ons now needs ≥20 words waiting (was 14) and keeps ≥10 in the piece, so ordinary
long sentences are no longer cut at their comma.
- Checked by running the page's own functions on scripted streams: a sentence paused mid-way → one spoken
sentence; a 30-word run-on → two clause-sized pieces; a 16-word sentence with a comma → not split; an
unfinished thought then Stop → still spoken.
- Speaks each sentence as soon as it's complete in the stream, not only after a pause. MEASURED: with no
pause between sentences the model joins them with a comma, not a period, so there may be no sentence end
for 20+ s; a long stretch (≥14 words) now also breaks at the last comma (≥8 words), and ≥35 words with no
punctuation speaks the first 25. Short fragments (<3 words) ride along with the next chunk. On 27 s of
speech with no pause the robot spoke at 8.4 s, 16.5 s and 24.1 s instead of silent until 21.7 s; every
word is spoken exactly once, in order.
- Cleans what the ROBOT says (the box keeps exactly what was said): drops um/uh/erm/hmm/ah with their
commas, collapses stuttered repeats ("the the"), tidies spacing, capitalises. Text rules only.
- Default voice: Male voice 5 (speaker 375) — the clearest by ear; the Robot voice itself stays off until
ticked.
The root carried min-height:640px alongside height:100%. In a pane shorter than
that the element is taller than its host, so the host scrolls the whole plugin —
tab strip included — and the reader gets a second scrollbar that hides the tabs
it is meant to reach. That is the scrollbar on DX Life's research page.
The floor becomes min-height:0, which is what every inner grid area already
carries for exactly this reason; the root was the one that did not. Nothing
collapses without it: the standalone leaf gives the element a definite height
with position:fixed and inset:0, and the pixel floor was unique to this plugin
rather than a house pattern.
The cross at the middle, each unreached group on the ring its closeness to a
reached neighbour puts it on, arrows pointing at the group that places it. The
opposite claim from the bounded set: there the only fact is which side of a line
a group is on, here there is no line and the whole content is distance.
The rings are read, not recomputed. This plugin could derive them — it has the
columns — but the rule encodes a contested judgement about what "dialect" means,
and that belongs to the data owner. Two implementations would not error, they
would quietly disagree, and the symptom would be two charts on one dashboard
showing different centres. ringNb is the reached row that sets the ring, so the
radius and the arrow come from one field and cannot point at different groups.
Four outcomes, reported as four: placed, already reached and so at the centre,
no relation found, and not in the neighbour table at all. The last is counted at
the join, because a table cannot carry a row it does not have. Folding any of
them together would turn a gap in our knowledge into a claim about a people.
Both panels now share one loader. They read the same file and it is the largest
thing either of them fetches, so a fetch each would double it for nothing.
Measured against the shipped table, standing the province rows in for the
dashboard's: 1009 in, 15 unmatched at the join — the same Indian name variants
the zone join already documents — 990 placed, 4 at the centre, none unplaced,
and every placed group has a named neighbour. The four counts add back to the
input exactly.
- Engine: start the speech server with --asr.endpointing.enable=true. End-of-sentence detection is OFF in
NeMo-Speech.cpp by default, and session.update's endpointing_ms only sets the pause length, so every
recording came back as ONE final when Stop was pressed (measured: a minute of speech → one 437-character
final; the robot voice then spoke a minute late). Now each sentence is final ~1 s after it ends: in a
Firefox run the robot spoke the first sentence 13 s before Stop.
- Settings menu in the full layout too (⚙, closed by default, works at phone width): Language, Microphone
and Robot voice live in it; Record and the level meter stay visible.
- Robot voice: exactly ten presets, five male then five female, chosen by measured pitch (men ~92–108 Hz,
women ~206–237 Hz); Male voice 1 is the default. The browser's own voices appear only as a fallback when
the offline voices are missing, at most ten. A blocked or failed playback is shown instead of silence.
Settings → Robot voice: a checkbox and a voice dropdown. When on, every finished sentence is spoken back
(sentences, not words: TTS needs context for its intonation). speak(text) is the single entry point, so a
future conversational mode can reuse the same voice.
- Providers, both on this computer only: Piper (offline neural TTS run by the engine on the CPU; six
LibriTTS-R speakers offered as "Offline voice A–F") and the browser's own voices, restricted to
localService === true (some browsers synthesise "online" voices on a server — never offered).
- backend/rudder-engine/tts.go: POST /api/rudder/tts (text → audio/wav, 1–2000 characters, one synthesis
at a time), GET /api/rudder/tts/voices, POST /api/rudder/duck. The spoken text is never logged, only
its length. Piper 2023.11.14-2 (MIT) bundles ONNX Runtime 1.14.1: no telemetry client; a synthesis
traced with strace made 0 network calls. ~150 MB RAM; a 10.7 s sentence rendered in 2.2 s on CPU.
- While the robot speaks through loudspeakers, the engine feeds the transcriber silence, so it never
transcribes itself (and that silence is not mistaken for a dead mic). With a Bluetooth headset or
headphones it keeps listening — pausing would only lose the person's words.
- setup-runtime.sh: Piper and the en_US-libritts_r-medium voice (CC BY 4.0), pinned by SHA-256.
- Verified in Firefox against a dev server: dropdown lists A–F, each finished sentence is synthesised
(200 audio/wav) between duck on/off, zero requests to any other host.
The ring column used to spell "reached" and "no relation found" with the same 0.
The data owner has split them, so this follows: ring 0 is REACHED and belongs at
the centre; ring -1 is unreached with no relation found and is genuinely
unplaced; 1-10 are placed. A fourth case never reaches this module at all — a
group with no row in the source, which the consumer counts at the join.
Treating ring 0 as unusable would have reported the best outcome in the set as
missing data. That is the same mistake as folding an unmatched group into
"unreached", and as letting ring 10 double as a bin for groups with no ring: the
outer category and the absent category keep wearing the same value, and they are
opposite facts.
The existing assertion caught the change rather than being updated after it. Its
fixture used ring 0 as an example of an invalid ring, so the check went red the
moment the meaning moved, which is what a fixture pinned to a real encoding is
for. Reached is now asserted to reach no ring at all.
The ring arrived as a separate map and is now plain columns on every row: ring,
ringNb and rop3. The layout module did not need to change — it takes a ring and a
neighbour id and does not care where they were read — but its header described
the old shape, and a header that describes a shape nobody ships is worse than no
header. The note records the change, because the difference matters to anyone
decoding the table by hand.
ringNb is the reached row that SET the ring, so the arrow and the radius come
from one field by construction and the older links ordering cannot disagree
with them.
The bounded set now tries rop3 + iso3 before falling back to name and country.
rop3 is the data owner's key and the reliable one, but it reaches these rows only
if the API document declares it — normalizeRows copies whatever meta.columns
lists rather than a fixed set — and that cannot be confirmed away from the live
endpoint. The fallback was measured at 994 of 1009 against the province bridge.
Either way an unmatched row stays UNKNOWN and is counted where it can be seen, so
a key that turns out to be absent surfaces as a visible unknown count rather than
as a chart full of groups that merely failed to join.
The opposite claim from the bounded set: there the only fact is which side of a
line a group is on, here there is no line and the whole content is distance. The
two must not look alike.
Ring membership is data, not a derivation. It is computed by the upg-neighbor
build and written into near-neighbors.json, and this module reads it rather than
working it out again. That is deliberate: the ring rule encodes a contested
judgement — whether "dialect" means an ISO code or an Ethnologue-strict level —
which belongs to the data owner. A second implementation here would be a second
answer, and the first symptom would be two charts quietly disagreeing.
The arrow and the radius are taken from the same field for the same reason. The
ring records the reached group that set it; the older links list records the
nearest neighbour on the E-scale ordering, sorted by believers and distance.
Those can differ, and reading the radius from one and the arrow from the other
draws a group on ring 3 with an arrow pointing at its ring-8 neighbour, with
nothing on screen to say so.
A group with no ring is unplaced and keeps a reason, never defaulted onto the
outer ring: ring 10 is a real answer, so it must not double as a bin for missing
data. A group with no recorded neighbour gets no arrow rather than a guessed one.
The check covers the properties where a wrong answer still looks like a chart —
a dot on the boundary, an unknown folded into unreached, an arrow overshooting
the cross it points at. These are pure functions, so their inputs are their
domain and the assertions are about the modules themselves. The binding to the
data file is not checked here; it belongs where the data is read.
The Driver's order for the centre is Language tree, Bounded set, Centered set,
then Map. Tree and Bounded set are here; the centered-set target is not, because
it needs the ring data that is still on another branch. A tab whose panel cannot
be drawn is worse than a tab that is not there yet, so it arrives with its data
rather than ahead of it.
setCentre had to change first, and it was hiding a trap. It read
centre.value = mode === 'tree' ? 'tree' : 'map'
so every id that was not 'tree' resolved to the map. Adding a tab to the strip
without touching the setter would have drawn the map under the new tab's label:
no error, no empty state, just the wrong panel wearing the right name. The panels
are now a list, and an unknown id warns once and falls back to the first — the
same way an unknown people-group list is already handled.
The chart claims one thing, which side of the line a group is on, so position
carries no other meaning: no gradient, no ranking, no distance. The layout is a
pure module so it can be tested without mounting anything, and it is SVG rather
than the map engine because there is no zoom, no camera and no labels here; if it
is ever pointed at the full table the answer is to aggregate, not to reach for
the GPU.
Reached-ness is not in these rows — they describe internet and language access —
so it joins near-neighbors on name and country. A group that does not join is
reported as unknown rather than drawn outside the circle. "We could not match it"
and "it is unreached" are different facts and only one of them is about the
group. If the table itself fails to load the panel says so, because a bounded set
drawn from nothing is a circle with everything outside it, which reads as a claim
rather than an error.
The province bridge only reaches India and China, because that is all
gospel-by-province-groups holds. Every other UPG-100 zone already has a path:
each zone in clusters.json carries a selector, and selector-evaluator.js turns a
selector plus people-group records into the slugs in that zone. So this is an
adapter, not a new join.
Which path a zone needs is a property of the zone rather than a fallback chain:
a pg_slugs selector IS the membership and is matched on slug, the evaluator
rejecting that type on purpose; country selectors go through evaluate(); the
India and China zones use the province fold.
Records must be passed FLAT. The evaluator reads country_code as a string, while
the file header describes the source shape as { value, label } — that is the
shape before normalize.js flattens it. Passing the object form matches nothing
and returns an empty set for every zone, which reads as "this zone has no
groups" rather than as a mistake. It cost a run here, so the check pins the
empty-set arm as well as the working one.
Zones whose selector needs a field the records do not carry return an empty set;
zones the evaluator rejects are reported separately. An empty zone and an
unanswerable zone are different facts and a legend that draws them the same way
is lying about one of them.
The UPG-100 lists are defined by admin region and the people-group tables are
keyed by group, so the join runs through the province assignment. The two files
disagree on spelling: the zone table writes `gujarat`, the province table writes
`Gujarāt`, and the same for Karnātaka, Tamil Nādu, Uttarākhand, Jammu and
Kashmīr and Haryāna.
Matching on toLowerCase alone joins 514 of 1009 rows across 9 zones. Folding the
combining marks joins 1009 of 1009 across 12 zones.
The 50.9% is the number worth naming: a legend built on it would have shown half
the groups and three fewer zones, and nothing on screen would have said so —
every zone still looks populated, only smaller. The fold lives at the lookup
rather than as extra spellings in the zone table, so a future source spelling
cannot reopen it.
Completes the i18n card. L58 landed the four keys the first spec was missing.
poster.region_india / region_other — all SEVEN poster-wall headings now
translate. The first key spec had five because check:hardcoded-english reported
five: its header states it cannot see SINGLE-WORD strings, and 'India' and
'Other' are single words. That is the gate's own documented blind spot, not an
oversight in the spec, and it is why a green run is not "no English".
messages.bandInRange / bandOutOfRange — the band ternary was
`'✓ 50–100 band' : 'band 50–100'`. TWO keys rather than a ternary over one,
because these are two STATES of one label: a locale may not phrase "in range"
and "out of range" as a tick plus the same words. The ✓ lives in the catalogue
string so a locale can drop it.
check:hardcoded-english on my two files now reports only REGION_OF's values,
which are grouping IDENTITY by design — regionLabel() translates them at render
while the map keeps English keys, so the grouping cannot re-key per locale.
rega RQ3(b): the packet's "Has Prayer" selection showed 50 of 997 where the legend
row said 699. The legend row is right and the packet was wrong.
A pin's prayer count arrives TWICE. The GeoJSON property is whatever was true when
the page loaded; from then on polling writes the current count with setFeatureState,
and prayer-progress.js:94 colours from ['feature-state','peoplePraying'] once polling
is on. So the lit pins a reader counts are feature-state, and pin-selection.js had no
'feature-state' case at all -- it resolved to undefined, to-number defaulted it to 0,
and the comparison selected only the pins whose FROZEN property happened to be above
zero. 50 of them. The other 649 people groups had been prayed for and the packet left
them out, which is the one thing a prayer packet must not get wrong.
resolveExpr and matchesExpression now take the state alongside the properties, and
selectedPinIds reads it per pin off the MAP rather than off the feature -- the source
still holds the GeoJSON it loaded, setFeatureState never touches it. The source is
added with promoteId:'uniqueId', so the id feature-state is keyed by is the same
props[idKey] the selection already uses.
Degrading is deliberate in both directions: before the first poll there is no state
and property expressions still select, so an early packet is thinner and never empty;
getFeatureState throws on an unknown source, so it is guarded and a bad source loses
the selection rather than aborting the print.
ALSO, rega RQ3(a), a candidate and not yet a confirmed cause. prewarmRegionPaint
wrapped any non-feature-reading paint value in a case to make it data-driven,
including a zoom interpolate -- I argued for that explicitly. useMapLayers.js:319
already held the rule and I had not read it: zoom interpolation is kept by putting the
case in the interpolate OUTPUTS, and "the reverse (zoom nested inside a 'case') is what
breaks the layer, so don't do that." That reverse is the shape Mapbox classifies as
composite before reaching for an interpolation factor the expression cannot supply,
which is the class of the interpolationFactor page error. The wrap now skips zoom
expressions too. A missed pre-warm costs a frame; an illegal paint costs the layer.
None of the three properties it touches is a zoom interpolate at boot, so this is not
proof -- it removes the only writer that can build that shape from a runtime value.
check-pin-selection asserts the live count wins over the stale property, that the
stale property alone selects nothing, that a map with no feature-state still selects
on properties, and that a throwing getFeatureState degrades. Negative-tested:
removing the case, not reading the state, and dropping the throw-guard each turn it
red; restored, green.
MEASURED, not inferred. The packet fetch requested
slug,name,country_code,population,religion,image_url(+language,gsec) while SIX
of the 27 printable zones select on wagf fields it never asked for:
west-africa, east-africa, central-africa wagf_block
europe wagf_region
southern-africa-islands union of two wagf_block
oceania-indonesia union of wagf_region + country_code
Proved with the real evaluator: a wagf_block selector returns 0 members on
packet rows and 1 on map rows. So those packets resolved to nobody and printed
empty — while the SAME selectors resolved correctly on the map, whose fetch
(:1988) has carried wagf_region,wagf_block all along. One file, two fetches,
two different field sets, and only one of them agreed with the data.
★ oceania-indonesia IS THE DANGEROUS ONE. Its union still matched country_code
IDN, so it did not print empty — it printed a PLAUSIBLE packet silently missing
every Oceania group. An empty packet is noticed on the first page; a packet
that is quietly 40% short is not. Same shape as the 514-of-1009 join gospel
measured today: a result that returns HALF looks like a smaller dataset, while
one that returns NOTHING gets caught immediately.
Verified after the fix: west-africa resolves its wagf_block row, and
oceania-indonesia now finds BOTH branches rather than only IDN.
Found while answering dx-shepherd's question about 9 selectorless zones. Those
9 turned out not to be in clusters.json at all — they are grouping/colour keys
in zone-regions.json and groupings.json, so no packet can be asked to print
them. All 27 zones that ARE printable have selectors; the defect was never a
missing selector, it was a missing FIELD.
upg100 measured both, and both were created by today's i18n fixes — mine and the batch's. A computed
only re-runs when a REACTIVE dependency changes; tStatic reads a plain window global. So these resolved
at first render and never moved again, while every label around them followed the switch.
· big-picture.vue — heading depended on config.value.title, which does not change when the host
changes language. It now reads hostLang, which is reactive and already drives setRuntimeLocale, and
PASSES it to tStatic so the right catalogue is read. useI18n is not available here: this bundle
installs no i18n, which is why the whole element reads through tStatic.
· DashboardResearchFilters.vue — the live-search chip, same shape. research-dashboard DOES install
i18n (index.js:83), so this takes vue-i18n's reactive locale ref, reads it to re-run and passes it
for the lookup.
Both land on check-frozen-labels' documented clean shape — an explicit locale argument — rather than
hiding tStatic behind a helper that would satisfy the gate while leaving the label frozen.
The heading also moved BELOW hostLang, so the dependency it now relies on is declared above it rather
than four hundred lines later.
Verified: check:sfc-parse PASS; check-frozen-labels (studio/landing58) reports exactly these two sites
today, and the shape they move to is its own "pinned" self-test case.
TWO PREPARATIONS FOR THE GENERATED PROFILE DESCRIPTION (Driver brief A1.5 col 2).
1. THE FETCH. Both packet fetch sites (:1363, :1588) requested
slug,name,country_code,population,religion,image_url. describeGroup needs the
language and a reachedness level, so primary_language and imb_gsec are added.
Both are existing API fields — poster-wall:171 already fetches primary_language
and sources.json:43 lists imb_gsec — so this adds no new API surface. Verified
they survive normalizeRecords, which is non-destructive ({...raw}).
GSEC and not EvangelicalLevel because GSEC is a NUMBER. EvangelicalLevel is
English prose from the API ("2% or Greater but Less than 5%"), so interpolating
it would leave every non-English packet half-English in its widest column. sr
measured both across 12,379 rows; I re-derived the GSEC distribution
independently (266/6573/269/199/1839/1428/1805) and confirmed that no GSEC
description mentions 0.1%, which is why "frontier" cannot be said from this
field and the wording stops at the 2% line the funnel page already states.
2. REGION IDS FOLD DIACRITICS. legend-tree.js built an id with
.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]+/g,'-'), which DELETES a combining mark rather
than folding it: Gujarāt became 'region-gujar-t', a different id from
'region-gujarat'. Nothing is broken today — the labels are regionFor()'s fixed
ASCII set and nothing joins on the id — but the brief's whole point is that a
fork brings its own set and names its own regions, and the first accented label
would split one region in two with no error and no empty state.
Same class gospel measured joining admin-to-list.json: a naive fold matched 514
of 1009 rows and lost THREE whole zones while every surviving zone still looked
populated. A join that returns half is more dangerous than one that returns
nothing. Fixed at the fold, not by enumerating the spellings we know.
Verified behaviour-preserving: Africa -> region-africa unchanged, and Gujarāt
and Gujarat now produce the same id.
L56 published the catalogue keys these three sites were waiting for, so the template now asks for
them instead of carrying the English:
the gap list's "related:" label -> gospel.gapList.relatedLabel
the legend's "Show all N" clear button -> gospel.filter.showAll, with the count as a placeholder
the detail panel's "Nothing in X itself" -> gospel.related.nothingInItself
Each was chosen because the swap costs no markup: the <em> and <b> wrap the whole phrase, so they
stay outside the call and the emphasis survives. The sites where a <b> sits INSIDE the sentence --
"Showing only <b>…</b>." above all -- are deliberately not in this commit, because the key is one
whole sentence and using it would silently drop the emphasis that distinguishes the filter's value
from its label. That needs a markup-preserving form, not a quiet visual regression on a production
map.
Measured, not assumed: hardcoded-english for this plugin 147 -> 144, and every one of the 72 keys
the leaf now references resolves in the catalogue. That last check caught a mistake in this very
change -- a fallback I wrote as t('gospel.state.thisVariety'), which does not exist and would have
rendered the key name to a reader. It is back to its literal until a key exists for it.
i18n parity and never-translated both pass; gospel's own render gate passes in ar, zh, ru and hi.
Rebuilt this bundle only, then fix:sri; check:sri is green at 64 leaves.
The new hardcoded-English gate found this in its first run over the production
plugins: an aria-label built by concatenation, so a screen-reader user on a
non-English locale heard "Open the" and "dashboard" in English around a region
name in their own language.
It uses the key the regions list already uses for the same sentence, which is
translated in all eleven locales, so the label now reads as one sentence rather
than two languages spliced together.
Found by the gate in the plugin that wrote it, which is the argument for making
it shared rather than private.
Ten strings that rendered to a reader in English whatever locale they chose.
Found by check:hardcoded-english; keys landed by studio L56.
STATUS OVERLAY (renders in .upg-status): noMapboxToken, loadingBoundaries (one
key, both call sites), fetchingUupgs {n}, mapStatusCounts {polys}{zones}{total}
{pins}. The "⚠ " prefix stays in the template, per the key spec. :2084 right
beside these was ALREADY t('messages.engineNotLoaded') — this makes the
neighbours consistent with it rather than introducing a new pattern.
MAP ERROR: noMapboxTokenDetail. It renders immediately after a translated
<strong>, so English sat literally adjacent to localized text.
LEGEND TABS: bound, not added — tabs.upg100Region / upg100Zone and
legend.tabInfo.* already existed in all 11 with exactly this text. ★ LEGEND_TABS
becomes a COMPUTED: t() is destructured at :391, BELOW the old const, so a plain
array could not call it; and even hoisted it would freeze the labels at the
locale active when the module evaluated. The host switches language at runtime,
so the labels have to re-evaluate on access. Both consumers are in the template,
where a ref auto-unwraps, so the call sites are unchanged.
THE PLURAL, deliberately a LABEL form: territor{{ n === 1 ? 'y' : 'ies' }} ->
t('messages.territoriesSelected', { count }). I had proposed a vue-i18n plural
key; studio was right that it would be worse, and I tested it — with no
pluralRules registered, v9 applies an English-shaped choice (count===1 ? 0 : 1)
to EVERY locale, so ru with 3 forms supplied picks wrong at 1, 2 and 21.
Confidently wrong grammar that LOOKS translated is worse than honest English.
POSTER-WALL headings translate at render; REGION_OF keeps its English values as
grouping identity (studio's split). ⚠ TWO OF THE SEVEN HEADINGS HAVE NO KEY:
'India' and 'Other'. The gate reported five because its header states it cannot
see single-word strings — this is that documented blind spot materialising, not
an oversight in the spec. They fall through to English text (never a raw key)
until poster.region_india / region_other exist; raised with studio.
Bundle rebuilt + fix:sri. The manifest churn is the same old->new hash for this
bundle; doxa-maps-spa's manifest changes only because it references it.
The engine-missing message read the shared messages.engineMissing through this file's
connectivity-prefixed t(), so it always missed and showed English in every locale.
Shared keys are now read qualified with tStatic: engineMissing, engineNotLoaded, and
couldNotLoadNamed for a data table that fails to load (naming the tab in the reader's
language, not 'table not found (404)'). Four unused English tab labels are removed.
studio landed data-control on the map controls (L54 3ed7d8d0c), so the gate can
name a control by untranslatable identity instead of its displayed text. Each
wrapper writes data-control="zoom-in|zoom-out|fullscreen|theme|…" onto
MapControlButton; it is not a declared prop, so it falls through onto the
rendered <button>.
REMOVES A CROSS-OWNERSHIP DEPENDENCY. Check (4) resolved its expected strings out
of library/i18n/locales/en/buttons.json — locale-correct, but it made a check in
MY gate depend on a key name in STUDIO's catalogue, so a rename there would have
failed a test here. data-control removes that coupling entirely.
THE THEME BUTTON GAINS THE MOST, and it had two more sites I had not fixed:
:488 (check 5's toggle) and :1502 (17b cold-load) both matched
[title^="Switch to"]. That title is LOCALIZED and DYNAMIC ("Switch to dark" /
"Switch to light"), so no i18n key ever resolved it and a prefix match on English
prose was the only option. All three sites now use data-control="theme", and the
`theme === 1` assertion finally means what it says.
Zero English-literal attribute selectors remain in the gate; every control query
is now a class or data-control. The one surviving `[title="…"]` string is inside
a comment recording why the pattern was abandoned.
fc93847bb ("Batch selection builds a packet, instead of recolouring regions")
replaced copy-to-clipboard with packet-building and left four pieces behind: the
button's handler, its execCommand fallback, the window global they wrote, and the
gate check that read it. This removes all four.
copySelection had exactly ONE reference in the file — its own definition — and
legacyCopy was called only from it, so both were unreachable. The minifier was
already dropping them: __UPG_LAST_CLIPBOARD__, which copySelection set
unconditionally, appears 0 times in the built bundle.
THE GATE HALF MATTERED MORE. visual-gate check (15) asserted the Copy payload,
guarding on .upg-hud-btn.copy existing — a button that no longer exists. But the
guard skipped only the MEASUREMENT: copyOk was initialised false and check() ran
unconditionally, so it reported FAIL ("no .upg-hud-btn.copy in HUD") on every run
since the button went. A permanently red assertion for a deliberately deleted
feature teaches readers to ignore red, which is worse than no check at all.
formatClipboard SURVIVES — 3 references, and one is live: __UPG_SELECT__
.clipboardText, the headless probe surface the gate still uses. Deleting the
"clipboard code" wholesale would have broken it.
Also corrects the D-8 comment, which still named "Copy + Clear" as the HUD
buttons; they are Prayer List / Poster Map / Clear.
VERIFIED BY THE BUILD NOT MOVING: rebuilt after deleting 43 lines of source and
the bundle is byte-identical to its parent (sha 3dda630d5cf5e647, 992356 bytes).
That is the test of the claim — if the output had changed, the code was not dead.
Two stale claims in one comment. It said `defineAsyncComponent` while the code
below it calls `retryableAsyncComponent` (:56), and it pointed at
research-map.vue:152 for the pattern — which is now a tStatic import; the real
lazy-load moved to :193.
Not cosmetic. Auditing card BUG-LAZY-PLUGIN-DEATH-ON-A-SINGLE-FAILED-IMPORT, the
census of components bypassing the retry wrapper is a grep for raw
`defineAsyncComponent`, and this comment made my own file read as a bypass. The
one real bypass (pplr-data-maps.vue:46, six lazy views) is exp's and routed. A
comment that names the wrong API costs the next reader the same detour.
Says why the wrapper is used rather than only naming it: Vue caches a REJECTED
loader promise, so one dropped chunk request kills the panel for the life of the
page. That is the defect the card exists for, and the reason not to "simplify"
this back to the raw API.
Comment-only, so the build is byte-identical — the strip-shadow-css-comments
pass drops it. Rebuilt and re-ran fix:sri anyway to prove it: 124 hashes already
agreed, 0 rewritten, the committed .js unchanged.
Five bound English strings no locale could reach, now catalogue keys in all eleven locales:
the column sort tooltip (dashboard.sort_by_column_hint, {column}), the full-screen button's
title and label (fs_*), the export tooltip (export_*_hint, a label form with {n} so no plural
rule is needed), and the donut's accessible name (aria.donutChart, {title}), which read a
translated title followed by the English word "donut". English stays the fallback argument.
Accessibility audit of my production surfaces, headless from source, scan negative-tested before I
trusted its zeros. Four hits, two real.
· THE PROJECTION PILL (DashboardMapPanel) carries role="button" and tabindex="0" and had no key
handler. A keyboard reader tabs to it, hears "button", presses Enter, and nothing happens — the
role and the tabindex promise an activation that was never wired (WCAG 2.1.1). It is a span rather
than a button because the pill sits inside the map chrome, so the promise has to be kept by hand.
I touched this element earlier today to give it a translated accessible name and did not notice it
could not be operated; naming a control and making it usable are separate jobs.
· THE SORTABLE COLUMN HEADERS (DashboardDataTable) carry role="columnheader" and aria-sort and were
click-only. Screen-reader users were told the sort state of a control they could not reach. Now
focusable with Enter and Space, and shift+Enter still adds a second column, because onSort reads
shiftKey off the event it is handed and a KeyboardEvent carries it the same way.
.prevent on space so the page does not scroll under the press.
TWO HITS WERE FALSE POSITIVES and are recorded so the next sweep does not re-raise them: the facet
rail's .fr-body and the chip bar's .rd-chips both take @click on a container, which looks like a
click-handler on a non-focusable div. They are DELEGATION: the facet rows carry their own
:tabindex/:role and the container has @keydown for parity, and every chip is a real <button> with an
aria-label. The control is the row and the chip, not the box around them.
Verified: check:sfc-parse PASS, and the scan reports 0 on both files afterwards. Not landed — the quiet
window is on; this waits for studio.
Found by cross-reading exp-shepherd's country-posters port, not by anything failing here. Their
73438b43b routes all eighteen of that map's region clears through a regionIdle() wrap. Mine still wrote
NINE raw constants — fill-opacity 0.20 and 0.7, line-color rgba(60,60,80,0.35), line-width 0.6 — across
clearCountryHighlight, the deselect path and the dim path.
A raw value makes the property CONSTANT again. So the first time a reader cleared a highlight, or ran a
country search and dismissed it, the three region paints stopped being data-driven and the next
highlight recompiled the shader variant that b5894ec3 exists to have compiled at layer-add. rega
measured 0 ms on the row click and that measurement was honest — it was taken on a fresh tab, where no
clear had run yet. The path nobody exercised is the one that pays.
Every region paint write now goes through regionIdle(v) — ['case', ['has','iso_3166_1_alpha_3'], v, v],
both branches the value it already had, so nothing looks different and the property stays data-driven.
Nine sites, no behaviour change, and the pre-warm now survives a clear.
★ DEFINED ABOVE ITS FIRST USE, deliberately. The first caller sits four hundred lines above where the
other idle constants live, and a const read before its declaration line has executed is the TDZ this
file has already shipped twice this week (_lastFitKey, then _lastPinOpacityKey). Its callers only run
after mount, so it would probably have been fine — "probably fine" is what the gate exists to stop me
saying. check:setup-order PASS.
Verified: check:sfc-parse and check:setup-order PASS. Needs eyes: rega — clear a region highlight, then
click another region row, and the compile should still be 0 ms. That is the case no run has covered.
Regions: the country and region counts under the dashboard title were English
template literals; they are now label keys ('Countries: %count%') in all eleven
locales, which also sidesteps plural forms.
Gospel: the Zume chip joined 'in' + a language name, which reads backwards in
Hindi; it is now one phrase key with a {language} placeholder.
UPG-100: the Batch Select button title comes from legend.title.batchSelect.
The six lazy views were built with raw defineAsyncComponent, which caches a rejected
loader, so one network blip left that tab dead until a full reload. They now use the
library's retryableAsyncComponent, which retries the import.
The load-time pre-warm made the regions fill and border paints data-driven, but every
clear (clearCountryHighlight, clearAllHighlights and the reset branches) wrote the
plain constants back. All 18 writes now use regionIdle(v), the same identical-branch
case the pre-warm uses, so the property never returns to its constant variant and a
second highlight cannot re-pay a variant switch. Nothing changes on screen.
The (G-rail) probe queried `.upg-rail-batch[title="Batch Select"]`. Once the
title becomes a bound `:title="BATCH_SELECT_TITLE"` (studio L53) that selector
matches under `en` and nowhere else, and the gate reports "button not in the
toolbar" — a PRODUCT failure for what is really a broken query. The class is
already proven unique by the railBtns === 1 assertion in the same probe, so it
is the identity; the title is still checked, as the property that actually
matters for a11y: NON-EMPTY, which holds in every locale. That also catches a
regression the equality missed — a :title binding resolving to '' or undefined.
The (4) map-controls check had the same coupling, three times. Those titles are
ALREADY bound (ZoomInButton.vue: :title="t('buttons.zoomIn')"), but the page is
pinned to en-US at newPage({ locale }) — L4/LESSON-03 — so they are not failing
today. The expected strings now come from the same i18n source the component
reads (library/i18n/locales/en/buttons.json) rather than being hardcoded, so the
gate survives being run in another locale. Verified the three keys resolve to
the literals they replace, so this asserts exactly what it asserted before.
The theme button cannot use that shim: its title is DYNAMIC ("Switch to dark" /
"Switch to light"), so there is no single key to resolve, and it stays a prefix
match on English prose. Its assertion moves from `> 0` to `=== 1` (studio's
call): that does not remove the coupling, but it stops 0 and 2 both collapsing
into "not > 0", and the failure line already prints the count.
Those four .mcb buttons share one class with no stable per-control hook, and
aria-label mirrors the localized title, so the title is the only identity
available to a query. The durable fix is data-control="zoom-in|zoom-out|
fullscreen|theme|location" on library/components/map-controls/MapControlButton
— studio's under 5B. They are riding it on the next landing that rebuilds the
17 consumers anyway rather than spending a rebuild on it alone; this shim comes
out when that lands.
A region legend row painted the country polygons twice: from the region dataset (every
member country, via selectRegion -> applyDimFilter) and from the legend's own list,
which holds only countries WITH PINS, so whichever ran last left holes. region: rows
now leave the polygons to the dataset; block: and country: rows still paint from the
legend. The 18 raw pin-opacity writes go through one read-before-write setPinOpacity,
so a family click no longer rewrites the same value 4+ times, and the undimmed value is
data-driven from load, so the first dim does not stop for a shader compile.
Auditing Big Picture for goal (d) I read this as a live defect: big-picture threads the host's locale into
each child's profile-config as `lang`, while the grid's prop is `languageCode`. On a profile-config embed
that would leave a composed grid in the wrong language — exactly the failure 8b40f6c58 was written to fix.
It is not a defect. people-groups-grid.vue accepts three spellings — languageCode || locale || lang — and
`lang` is the third. Two greps settled it, and the near-miss is the point: nothing at either end said so.
Both ends now do. The writer records that the spelling is load-bearing and which fallback it lands on; the
reader records that `lang` has a caller and why that caller cannot reach it any other way — getRuntimeLocale
is module state, and a separately-built child bundle gets its own copy, so threading the config is the only
channel big-picture has.
★ WHY A COMMENT AND NOT A GATE. The failure is invisible in the obvious place: ?lang= embeds keep working,
because the grid falls through to localeFromUrl(). Only a host passing profile-config sees it, which is the
smaller and quieter half of the traffic. A gate for that would have to stand up a composed embed with a
profile-config locale and read rendered text — which is rega's browser run, not a headless check — so the
honest guard is to make the coupling legible to whoever next tidies either list.
No behaviour change. Verified: check:sfc-parse PASS.
Found auditing my own map for goal (d), in code I added this morning. The cover note is the one string on
that document a reader in Arabic or Hindi cannot read, on a document whose entire purpose is that they
can pray from it in their own language.
The slash needs no translation and is not a guess: zh's professional translation of legend.progress.short
renders exactly this relationship as "{covered} / {total}". The WORD is available per locale in that same
key — ar "من", ru "из", fr "sur" — but it carries "· {pct}%" with it, so reusing it would mean either a
wrong suffix on the cover or slicing a translated string on a separator I cannot guarantee survives
translation. Ten invented translations for one connector is the worse trade.
Wrapped in U+2066/U+2069 isolates, which is the convention the Arabic catalogue already uses five times
for numeric ranges ("30–59%"). Without them the pair reorders against the Arabic label beside it and a
reader sees "214 / 50" — the numbers held but the meaning inverted. NUMERALS ARE HELD, so the digits
themselves are untouched.
CENSUS BEHIND IT, on current main, reusing the existing gates rather than adding one: check:i18n-parity,
check:i18n-never-translated and check:i18n-keys-exist all PASS; and of the 766 catalogue strings the three
Simple Research bundles ship across 21 areas, ZERO fall back to English in any of the ten locales. The
English still visible to a non-Latin reader is five or six items and every one was already classified:
two external resource names (Open Bible Stories, Scripture Earth), one pure format string, two acronyms
(DPI, MST), and UUPGs, which is the Driver's deferred ruling. This cover note was the only NEW leak, and
it was mine.
Verified: check:sfc-parse and check:i18n-keys-exist PASS. Needs eyes: rega — the packet cover at ?lang=ar.
After a language was picked, its believer (green) and unreached (red) dots were
anonymous until clicked, and a green dot could not be clicked at all. Hovering either
now shows the group and its country, as Mobilize does.
.upg-hud-band used margin-left:auto to push itself to the trailing end of the
flex row .upg-hud-head. That end is the LEFT in Arabic, so the band sat on the
wrong side. margin-inline-start:auto, the same class as the legend and table
conversions. No consumer overrides .upg-hud-band, so nothing can defeat it.
Found by a localization audit of this bundle (upg-100-mfe + poster-wall +
upg-100-list). The rest of the audit came back clean, and both scans were
NEGATIVE-TESTED before their zeros were believed:
- hardcoded English in templates: a planted sentence IS found, so the zeros in
poster-wall.vue and upg-100-mfe.vue mean something. The only template hits in
upg-100-list.vue were `{{ LEGEND_TITLE }}` (a translated computed, a false
positive of the regex) and one real one, below.
- script-side user-visible English: none.
- key coverage: 23 keys used, 0 missing across all 11 locales. A planted
nonexistent key reports missing in 11/11 and a real key resolves in 11/11, so
the checker is neither blind nor vacuous.
ONE FINDING IS NOT MINE TO FIX: upg-100-list.vue:2786 has a literal
title="Batch Select" where its siblings at :2811 and :2833 use a translated
:title. The fix needs a new key, and the catalogues live in library/i18n/locales/
— the build owner's under rule 5B. Sent to dx-shepherd rather than landed here.
`tiles` built four stat objects that nothing rendered. The commit which cloned
DX-life's region dashboard replaced its template block with `stats` and the
shared StatCard, and removed the .rd-tile styles with it, but left the computed
behind.
It was not merely unused: it carried four bare English labels, so a localisation
scan reports it as hardcoded English every time. It cost this audit the time to
prove it harmless, and would have cost the next one the same. `stats` renders
the same four figures and puts every label through t().
Verified superseded rather than unfinished before deleting: the template usage
and the computed were added by one commit and the usage removed by the next, the
styles are already gone, and nothing in the plugin refers to it. Behaviour is
unchanged.
Clicking a pin to open the people-group detail panel did nothing under MapLibre,
with no error of any kind.
openPgDetail read `src._data.features`. The two engines store _data differently,
and both bundles say so in the same constructor (this._options = Object.assign
follows in each):
mapbox-gl v3.24.0 this._data = i.data the raw value
maplibre-gl this._data = "string"==typeof i.data
? {url: i.data} : {geojson: i.data}
So `._data.features` resolves under Mapbox and is UNDEFINED under MapLibre.
Every guard in the chain then turned the wrong shape into a no-op: `|| []` made
it an empty list, find() returned undefined, `if (f)` was false. Silent, and
indistinguishable from a missed click -- the same defect class as sr's landed
MapLibre source-read bug.
Now calls readSourceFeatures() from library/maps/pin-selection.js, which falls
back to the public serialize() that both engines expose. One import, one call, no
new API.
The mapbox citation was taken from the exact CDN bundle the app loads
(library/constants/cdn.js pins v3.24.0), fetched and verified against its pinned
SRI hash before reading, then deleted. No browser involved -- downloading and
grepping a bundle never starts one.
Verified in the BUILT output rather than by function name, which minification
renames: the helper's distinctive public fallback `serialize` appears once in the
rebuilt bundle and zero times in main's.
A regions audit across 60 keys and 10 locales found the catalogue itself sound
-- every key present everywhere, and the few strings identical to English are
cognates their sibling languages spell differently. The gaps were in the plugin,
in the places a value is absent and a fallback renders instead.
Eight `|| 'Other'` fallbacks rendered the English word in every locale, though
'Other' is translated in all eleven and the regions list already called t() for
exactly this. A country subtitle concatenated ' people groups ' as a literal.
Both now go through t().
The map popup aligned its stat values with text-align:right, which does not flip
for Arabic, so the values sat on the wrong side of a right-to-left popup. It
uses the logical end instead, as nine other declarations in these files already
do.
Two strings are left deliberately: the region and all-regions subtitles build
"N countries" and "N regions" from template literals, and no key exists for
either in any locale. Word order and plural agreement differ per language, so
inventing a construction across eleven of them would be worse than the English
it replaced. Those need catalogue keys and are reported rather than guessed.
Eight CSS declarations in the production profile still named a physical side, so in Arabic they
pinned translated text to the left: the legend key's wrapped label, the search-match rows, the
people-group buttons in the gap list and in the detail panel, the error line, two chip margins,
and the row-count badge beside each table tab. Every one of them now uses the logical property —
text-align:start, margin-inline-start — which is identical to today in every left-to-right locale
and correct in the two right-to-left ones.
Found by auditing the production profile's localization rather than by a rendering failure, which
is how this kind of defect stays in: the Arabic page looks translated, because it is, and only the
alignment quietly disagrees with it.
Nothing in the English-prose islands changed. Those carry dir="ltr" on purpose — the caveats stay
English by the standing ruling, and the isolation is what keeps them from disturbing the Arabic
text around them.
Rebuilt gospel-resources only, then fix:sri; check:sri passes at 64/64 leaves.
The Driver reported the pins as hard to see. On the chooser this is the state
that answers it: what the page shows on load, before any hover.
Two things make a pin harder to read here than on a cloned country page, and
neither is a matter of taste. The chooser renders the globe, so every pin sits
at the lowest useful zoom instead of a framed close-up; and the 1px white stroke
is a fixed cost, so at radius 3 it consumes a third of the pin's width and the
coloured core carrying the region's identity is only about 2px. Raising the
resting radius from 3 to 4 at zoom 2 grows that core from 2px to 3px -- a ~50%
gain in the part a reader actually distinguishes, for ~33% more footprint.
Opacity goes to 1 for the same reason: 10% transparency over a basemap costs
contrast and buys nothing while nothing is being de-emphasised.
Only the chooser changes. The cloned country and region pages keep DX-life's
exact geometry, and the hover behaviour is untouched -- dimming the other
regions is the design saying "these pins are one group", which is a taste call
rather than a legibility defect.
Whether this is now easy enough to see needs eyes; the argument here is only
that the readable part grows faster than the footprint.
The rail showed tiles nobody had named while this gate stayed green. The obvious
fix is a no-op, and writing it first is how that came out.
THE NO-OP: testing the rail's label for null/empty can never fail, because
rowsFromManifest falls back to humanize(id) (plugin-studio.vue:421,429). A
profile that declares nothing still arrives as "Doxa Simple Map" -- not empty,
and not equal to the bare id either, so the existing bare-id rule misses it too.
humanize() defeats BOTH rules. That is why country-posters could ship a tile
nobody had named.
So the property is the DECLARATION, read from the manifest, not the rendered
label: does this profile's <profile>.meta.json carry a "label"? A humanized id is
a reasonable DEFAULT and a bad NAME -- "Doxa Simple Map" tells a reader nothing
the folder did not already say.
PRODUCTION-STAGE ONLY, deliberately: 15 profiles declare no label today and 14
are experimental -- work in progress nobody has named yet, which is not a defect.
A gate that is red for a condition the repo accepts gets ignored.
Also declares the two labels my own plugin was missing: upg-100-list becomes
"UPG-100 — Zoned Map" and poster-wall "UPG-100 — Poster Wall".
⚠ THIS GATE IS RED ON MAIN TODAY, 8 violations across 4 plugins and 4 owners
(cities-internet 2, doxa-simple-map 1, gospel-resources 3, my-upg-100-list 2).
It must NOT land before those labels do, or it blocks every other agent's
landing for a defect that is not theirs. The two meta files here fix my share;
they reach the manifest only through the full build, which is the build owner's.
internal/ is the build owner's under rule 5B -- source sha to studio, sequenced
after the other three owners declare their labels.
Only the browser seat runs browsers, and only inside internal/browser-slot.sh.
That rule was remembered, not enforced: an agent ran a gate it took for a
headless source check and it launched Chromium outside the slot.
internal/lib/playwright-guarded.mjs is now the one way a repo file reaches
playwright: its launch(), launchPersistentContext(), launchServer(), connect()
and connectOverCDP() exit 75 (NOT MEASURED) with a message naming
browser-slot.sh unless DOXA_BROWSER_SLOT is set, and browser-slot.sh exports it
for the command it runs, so a bash -c grandchild inherits it. All 72 files that
imported playwright switch to it (internal/lib/browser.mjs and 64 internal gates;
plugin-designs scripts: doxa-research-map 3, my-upg-100-list 2,
research-map-plus-grid 2, research-dashboard 1): a mechanical import swap.
check:browser-gates-guarded (gates:pre) fails a direct import;
bun run browser-gates lists the 97 scripts that launch a browser. isBrowserGate
moves to internal/lib/browser-gates.mjs so the runner and the check share it.
The legend and search column were placed with left:10px and styled only under Mapbox's
.mapboxgl-ctrl-top-left, so on the keyless engine they kept MapLibre's defaults and in
Arabic stayed on the left. Both engines' classes now take inset-inline-start (the same
fix country-posters carries), and the help close button and the detail labels use
logical sides.
charts, data-tables and resources-list had no <profile>.meta.json at all, so the manifest carried
no label for them and the Studio rail humanized the folder name: "Charts", "Data Tables",
"Resources List". Those say what the file is called, not what the page answers.
Each now has a meta with a label and its stage:
charts Gospel Resources -- where the gap is, by language
data-tables Gospel Resources -- every resource and every gap, in tables
resources-list Gospel Resources -- what each people group has
All three declare "stage": "experimental" EXPLICITLY, which is what they already were. A meta-less
profile and a meta without a stage key both default to experimental in profile-meta.mjs, so the
value would otherwise rest on that default -- and these three sit in a bundle whose stage reads
production through gospel-dashboard, so a later change to the default would silently promote them.
Measured after the change: the three stay experimental, gospel-dashboard stays production, and
bundleStage still returns production.
Type is deliberately not declared. generate-tree resolves the composition tier from meta.json
`type`, not from whether the file exists, so omitting it leaves all three inferred `single`
exactly as before. Nothing in the manifest moves except the three labels and three stage values
that already held.
connectivity-list and data-tables had no profile meta at all, so the Studio and
the gallery fell back to a humanised profile id: a reader picking a view saw
"connectivity list" and "data tables" rather than what the pane actually is.
The sibling connectivity-map already carried a label; these two are now in step,
so the three read as one family in the picker instead of sorting apart.
The wording is not invented. Each pane renders its own heading from i18n —
connectivity.list.title is "Cities with Internet" and connectivity.tables.title
is "Cities Data" — so the labels lead with the product name the reader already
sees, then name the view, matching the shape connectivity-map established.
Both metas declare stage experimental explicitly. That is the existing default
for a profile with no meta, so nothing is promoted and the manifest is byte-for
-byte unchanged; it is stated because bundleStage turns a whole bundle
production as soon as one profile claims it, and a stage left implicit is one
default change away from moving on its own.
Source only, no bundle rebuild: the label is read from the meta by the gallery's
discovery, and never travels into manifest.json.
countries-map, country-poster-wall and doxa-simple-map carried label:null, so the Studio
rail and the gallery showed their ids. Each now has a label in its meta; types are
unchanged (doxa-simple-map stays parameterized).
An array is not the same as data-driven: a zoom-only interpolate is an array and
still compiles a variant on the first gesture. The warm-up now leaves alone only values
that read a feature property, and wraps constants and zoom-only expressions.
Choosing "Asia" in the legend printed the same first 50 groups as any other row,
Sudan included. The packet now takes the pins the selection shows, through the shared
library/maps/pin-selection.js (reading pins as drawn, not raw rows). Selected pins
that match no rows fall back to the full list with a warning; an empty selection
reaches the printer's own error; over 50, the cover says '50 of N'.
highlightCountryByIso makes the regions fill and border paints data-driven on a click,
and the first such click paid a one-off shader-variant compile (rega measured 5.5 s /
11.1 s on the research map). The three paints are now data-driven from the moment the
layer is added, with identical branches so nothing changes on screen.
exp-shepherd's copy of this pre-warm is better than mine in one way and accidentally right in another,
and both are worth taking.
BETTER: it leaves an existing expression alone instead of wrapping it. Mine wrapped regions-border's
line-color — which arrives as a region-coloured match on a feature property — into a case around that
match. No visual change, but a gratuitous rewrite of an expression that was already data-driven and had
no variant left to warm.
ACCIDENTALLY RIGHT: their test is "is it an array". For this layer that coincides with the right answer,
because the only array here is that match. It is not the right test in general — a zoom expression like
['interpolate',['linear'],['zoom'],…] is also an array and is NOT data-driven, so skipping it would
leave that property to compile its variant on the first gesture. That is the partial pre-warm this whole
exercise exists to avoid, and it would measure as a failure with no visible cause.
The test is now whether the expression reads the FEATURE — get, has, or feature-state, at any depth.
Constants and zoom-only expressions get wrapped; anything already keyed on a feature is left exactly as
the layer wrote it. The regions layers have no zoom expression today, so this changes nothing that runs
right now; it means the rule is correct for the reason it is correct.
Verified: gates:pre 13/13. Chained on 790d8838.
Found by reading addRegionsLayer while checking exp-shepherd's copy of this fix, not by anything that
failed. My pre-warm called paintRegionScope(map.value, []) — the CLEARED look: flat grey borders at
width 0.6. The layer does not start there. useMapLayers adds regions-border with line-color set to the
REGION-COLOURED match expression and line-width 1, so the moment the Regions tab was first opened, every
border turned grey and thinner than the layer had defined.
Nothing was going to catch it. The shader compile moved as intended, the write count was unaffected, the
highlight still worked, and the checks in flight were a timing measurement and a write count — a change
of appearance is invisible to both. It would have been found by a person looking at the map, eventually,
and blamed on something else.
prewarmRegionPaint reads each property back and re-writes it wrapped in a case whose two branches are
the value it already had. The appearance is preserved exactly as the layer defined it, and the property
still becomes data-driven, which is all the shader variant depends on. A property the layer does not
define is skipped rather than invented, and one already wrapped is left alone so a second call cannot
nest cases.
paintRegionScope keeps its idle values for the CLEAR path, which is a different thing from the initial
state and always was — conflating the two is what caused this.
Verified: gates:pre 13/13. Chained on 196eca13. Needs eyes: rega — on the first visit to the Regions
tab, the country borders should be REGION-COLOURED at their original width, not grey.
Two findings from upg100's census. check-one-palette read strategy palettes from
library/colors/ only, so a bundle's own src/colors/ strategy (which overrides the
library one for that bundle) was never checked; it now reads both, the bundle's
over the library's, and --self-test plants a private palette. Rudder's
engine-offline notice gave a go build line without saying Go 1.22+ is needed or
that setup-runtime.sh downloads the model; it now says both and points at
bun run desktop:build and the desktop HOWTO.
DEDUP-AUDIT.md (measured today: 253 files, 31 cross-plugin duplicate clusters,
622 duplicated lines) ranks this tenth by raw cost and first by suitability. It
is the only cluster where the copies are identical in code, close over nothing,
and sit in two plugins with one owner between them.
loadScriptOnce (13 lines) and whenTagDefined (11) were byte-identical between
doxa-maps-spa and plugin-studio. deriveTreeBase (9) differed by ONE COMMENT LINE
and not one character of code -- drift in the documentation of a shared function,
which is its own argument for having one copy.
They are one concern, not three: load a bundle's script once, wait for its custom
element to register, and work out the tree base to load it from. That is what a
capability-5 app shell does to nest another plugin, and both plugins here ARE the
capability-5 shells. Any future shell needs the same three.
Verbatim move: no parameterisation, no behaviour change, callers import instead
of declaring. The comments travel with the code because each records a
measurement -- particularly the one explaining why onload is not a usable success
signal for a dev-server ES module.
ONE BEHAVIOUR CHANGE, AND IT IS AN IMPROVEMENT: the _loaded cache is now shared.
Two shells on one page previously kept separate caches and each loaded the same
bundle; the second now reuses the first's promise.
deriveTreeBase reads document.currentScript, so it is only valid AT MODULE
EVALUATION TIME. The call sites did not move -- both entries still call it at
module top level -- and the library file documents the constraint, because a
later call silently returns '' and every nested bundle URL would break.
Verified: both bundles build; each built file contains all three functions
exactly once and still derives currentScript; check:sri, check:series-isolation,
check:studio-rail and check:capability-derived all PASS.
library/utils/embedScript.js is the build owner's under rule 5B. The
plugin-designs and public/ changes are in the same commit because they import it
-- landing them apart breaks the build in between.
Canonicalising the ISO list made the two region painters COMPARABLE. Reading the two sources shows it
cannot make them EQUAL, so the write count would have landed at six rather than three — and the reason
is a real defect underneath, not a tuning problem.
The two sets are different by construction:
· node.isoCodes comes from useWagfRegionsLegendData, which builds its regions by walking the
PEOPLE-GROUP LIST, so it holds only countries that have pins in the current data.
· mapLayers.regionIsoMap comes from regionsData.isoToRegion — every country assigned to the region.
So a region highlight painted from the legend has HOLES wherever a country in that region has no
unreached group in the list, and which of the two a reader saw depended on which writer ran last. The
feature is "highlight the countries belonging to the selected WAGF region", so the regions dataset is
the right answer and the legend's pin-derived list is not.
region: rows therefore stop painting here and defer to the canonical path they already trigger
(selectRegion -> the store watcher -> applyDimFilter). block: and country: rows keep painting from
node.isoCodes, because nothing else paints them — only region: reaches selectRegion — and for those two
the legend's own list IS the scope being asked for.
★ THIS IS A PREDICTION, and it is falsifiable: region clicks should now be 3 writes, not 6. If rega
counts 6, the two sources disagree for some other reason and my reading of them is wrong. If they count
3 but the highlight covers FEWER countries than before, then the pin-derived set was the intended one
and this commit is the thing to revert — the previous behaviour was last-writer-wins, so nobody has
decided which is correct until now.
Verified: gates:pre 13/13. Chained on 1be024ac.
rega's L43 check: three of four pass — the row-click shader compile is 0 ms on both engines (was
3.8 s / 7.5 s), the tab visit is no worse, the highlight stays. The collapse did not: still nine
setPaintProperty calls per row click instead of three.
Their hypothesis is right, and I had the evidence before I wrote the code. The two callers build the
same region from different lists — node.isoCodes and mapLayers.regionIsoMap[slug] — and they do not
agree on ORDER. rega said so in the very first stack trace on this bug: "a case over ['IND',…]" from one
path, "a case over ['MYS',…], a different literal order" from the other. I then wrote a JSON-string
compare, which cannot match two orderings of one set. The pre-warm half worked because that expression
is a shared constant; this half compared text that was never going to be equal.
The list is now canonical before both the compare and the write — de-duplicated, upper-cased, sorted —
so the expression is a function of the SET, which is the thing the two callers actually agree on. Order
is irrelevant to `in` membership, and the case normalisation is a no-op on today's data (both lists come
from the same regions dataset, and the highlight matches now, so they are already upper-case); it is
there so a future source that ships lower-case cannot silently select nothing.
★ IT IS ALSO A TEST, and worth reading as one. If the count drops to 3, the two sources agree about
which countries are in a region. If it does not, they disagree about the CONTENT — a data defect this
compare would otherwise have hidden behind a last-writer-wins repaint, and the next thing to chase.
Verified: gates:pre 13/13. Chained on f7a2f001 (same file). Needs rega: re-count with the same probe.
The claim was wrong when I wrote it and I only checked the built artifact afterwards. jspdf arrives
through useMapPoster.toPdf, which this map still uses for the poster, so the packet path was never the
thing holding it. The bundle in fact GREW about 131 KB (983,264 -> 1,117,687 on L42) when the shared
HTML renderer came in: each bundle is a single .js with no code splitting, so the dynamic imports in
this function are inlined at build time rather than lazy, which also makes the older "keep it off the
critical boot path" note beside them untrue.
Correcting it in the source rather than only in the ledger because the sentence was copied VERBATIM into
country-posters when that map moved to the same renderer — a wrong comment written confidently travels,
and the next person to plan a dependency removal would have started from it.
The change itself stands: the packet prints instead of downloading, and the duplicate implementation is
gone. It cost bytes rather than saving them, and now the file says so.
Chained on 2cf369be because it edits the same function. gates:pre 13/13.

now decide where it is built. internal/plugin-targets.mjs is the one reading.
desktop:build builds a desktop plugin into .desktop/<plugin>/ with a page that
names its engine, builds its backend as a Tauri sidecar for this machine, and runs
tauri build with a --config override; tauri.conf.json and public/ are untouched.
The shell starts the bundled rudder-engine (RUDDER_AUDIO=browser, RUDDER_HOME in the
app data folder) and stops it on exit. A plugin whose targets leave out web
(Rudder: desktop + widget) is no longer built for the web tree: run-parallel,
generate-tree and check-composite-freshness skip it, and its public/ folder is
removed; the dev server still gives the Studio its corner. check:targets
(gates:pre, with a self-test of five planted violations) validates the values,
widget corners and backend folders and fails if a non-web plugin reaches the built
tree. Measured: desktop:build rudder-voice on Linux produced Rudder_0.1.0_amd64.deb
(8.8 MB) with the app and the engine side by side; the app has not been launched.
PACKETSEL, found by exp-shepherd: the prayer packet printed the first 50 of EVERY people group whatever
was selected, so a reader who had narrowed the map to one language family got a packet about somebody
else. I carried that behaviour through verbatim when I moved the packet to the shared printer — it was
already wrong and I preserved it, which is worth saying plainly.
The rows now come from the pins currently SELECTED: the layer's own filter decides which pins render,
`_pinMatchExpr` decides which of those are lit (the affinity tab dims rather than filters), and both
must match — a pin at opacity 0 is not what the reader is looking at.
★ ASKED OF THE MAP'S FEATURES, NOT OF THE ROWS, and this is the part that had to be got right rather
than guessed. Pin properties are DERIVED from rows: useMapLayers fills languageFamily in when the API
returns null for all 2,069 groups, and canonicalizes doxaRegion onto the palette's key forms precisely
so setFilter matches. So evaluating a pin filter against a raw data row is wrong in a way that NEVER
THROWS — it just selects a different, plausible-looking subset. The features the map holds are the only
place the two vocabularies agree.
Answering that question already existed, privately, inside useMapFly: zoomToLegendRow has to solve it to
fit the camera to a legend row, including the reason it cannot use querySourceFeatures (viewport-clipped,
so an off-screen region silently selects nothing). Those three functions move VERBATIM to
library/maps/pin-selection.js and useMapFly imports them, so there is one evaluator rather than two —
and country-posters, which prints the same kind of packet from the same kind of selection, has the same
helper to reach for instead of a second copy.
Two failure modes are distinguished rather than collapsed: pins selected but NO row matching them is an
id mismatch, so it prints the full list and warns; a genuinely empty selection still reaches the shared
printer's own "that list resolved to no records", which is honest. And when the 50-row safety cap bites,
the cover now says "— 50 of 214" instead of quietly being a different packet than the one asked for.
Verified: gates:pre 13/13, check:composite-interop PASS. Needs eyes: rega — select one language family,
print, and check the cards are that family and the cover carries the count.
country-posters-mfe's @element said country-posters-mfe, a tag nothing defines; the
bundle registers country-posters-map, which the embed snippet and leaf page already
use with profile country-posters-mfe. Anything building the tag from the manifest
(check:composite-embed-knobs) mounted an element that never upgraded, so its map
cells could not be measured.
The map's packet built a jsPDF file and downloaded packet.pdf while its poster already
printed. It now goes through usePosterPrints.printPacket, the same path as Simple
Research (8457b5dc): the live map rides in as an image data URL, and an explicit
adapter maps the rows, reading religionName and countryName so a card never prints a
religion code ("MSN") under a people group's name.
Both halves are rega's measurements on main 373b7979b, now that the WAGF selection holds and it is worth
optimising rather than optimising a bug.
NINE WRITES PER CLICK -> THREE. A single "Asia (Region)" click produced nine regions-* paint writes:
fill-opacity, line-color and line-width, three times each inside ~110 ms. Two paths painted the same
highlight from DIFFERENT sources — onSemanticTreeSelect from node.isoCodes, applyDimFilter from
mapLayers.regionIsoMap — each triggering the other through mapStore. Two sources for one visual is not
just wasted work: it is how they drift, and it already cost a debugging cycle, because when the highlight
was being cleared we first had to establish WHICH writer had done it. All four paths (click, watcher,
clear, and the layer-add below) now go through paintRegionScope, which writes a property only when the
value actually differs — asked of the MAP rather than a remembered key, so a layer torn down and re-added
cannot leave a skip holding a paint that is no longer there.
5.5 s AND 11.1 s OF SHADER COMPILE, MOVED OFF THE GESTURE. rega measured the row click compiling a new
variant — 5.5 s MapLibre, 11.1 s Mapbox on SwiftShader — because that click was the first moment these
three properties stopped being constants. Identical to the pins defect and fixed the same way: the idle
value is now ['case', ['has', 'iso_3166_1_alpha_3'], x, x], both branches the same so not one pixel
changes, and it is installed the moment addRegionsLayer returns. The variant therefore compiles on the
tab visit that is already loading a 6.4 MB GeoJSON, not in the middle of a gesture.
That placement is the whole point, and it is what I got wrong on the pins the first time: an idle
expression that is never installed pre-warms nothing. Here it is painted at layer-add, where the layers
first exist.
LEFT ALONE DELIBERATELY: highlightCountryByIso (0.30/0.02) and applyDimFilter's dim path (0.20) are
different states of the same layers, not duplicates of this one, so collapsing them into this writer
would have merged three features into one function to save nothing.
Verified: gates:pre 12/12, check:composite-interop PASS. Needs eyes: rega — expect 3 regions-* writes per
click instead of 9, and no compile on the row click; the compile should appear on the TAB visit instead.
Caught by reading the normalizer instead of waiting for the render: my adapter in f6a9d9d2 read
`g.religion` first, and DataSourceManager normalizes that field to the CODE — so every people-group card
would have printed MSN or BLA under the name, with the readable form sitting unused in `religionName`
one line away (DataSourceManager.js:357-358).
The country line had the same shape of error for the same reason. The renderer prints
flat(g.country_code) as display text next to the population, but the FIELD NAME invites handing it an
ISO code; normalized rows keep the code in countryIso and the label in countryName. Both now read the
readable form first and fall back toward the code, rather than the reverse.
This is the failure the commit before it flagged as the thing that could not be verified headlessly — a
wrongly mapped field prints blank or cryptic rather than throwing. It was findable without a browser
after all: the answer was in the normalizer, not in the rendering.
Verified: gates:pre 12/12. rega's check still stands and is still worth doing — this fixes the two fields
I could prove wrong, not the ones a rendered page would reveal.
Driver-lens audit card 2: the packet button downloaded packet.pdf while its poster sibling, two
functions above it, opened the print dialog. Same map, same menu, two different answers to "export".
The fix is not to wrap that PDF in a dialog. A PDF blob cannot go in the <img> the in-place print frame
uses, and every workaround — embed, object, the browser's own viewer — prints on some engines and
silently does nothing on others, which is the dead-button class this file has already paid for twice.
usePosterPrints.printPacket ALREADY does this: the same packet, authored as HTML with @page rules and
printed in place. This map was running a private second implementation of a shared product feature, with
jspdf behind it. Routing to the shared one deletes the duplicate, drops jspdf from this bundle, and the
packet gains the pages the shared renderer has that the local one never did — the life calendar, the
funnel and the prayer wheel, in the Driver's own page order.
★ AN EXPLICIT ADAPTER, because the mismatch would have been SILENT. The renderer reads slug / name /
population / religion / country_code, and usePosterPrints reads image_url; this map's normalized rows
carry country and imageUrl in camelCase. Handed over unmapped, the packet would have printed with blank
names and missing photos rather than failing — so the mapping sits in one visible place instead of
either side renaming its vocabulary.
Page 1 keeps the LIVE map rather than a fetched poster: this half is the one that knows what is on
screen. The shared renderer interpolates mapSvg as raw markup, so the PNG this map already knows how to
produce rides in as an <img>, as a data URL because the print frame is a separate document and an object
URL created here would be revoked out from under it. If that render fails the packet still prints — a
cover without the map beats no packet, which is the call the shared composable already documents.
Dead code removed with it: the download helper that served packet.pdf, and the lazy-import cache for the
composable this no longer uses. Neither export hands over a file now.
Verified: gates:pre 12/12. NOT verified here, and it needs to be before anyone calls it done: I cannot
see a rendered packet. The specific risk is the adapter — a field I mapped wrongly prints blank rather
than failing. rega should print one and look at the people-group cards before this is released.
The Driver's first laptop run with DX_SYNC_REMOTE: when main moved the page went
white. A landing rewrites dozens of built leaf index.html files under public/, and
Vite answers each changed .html with a full page reload (measured: one edited leaf
page, one full-reload broadcast), so a pull fired a burst of reloads while git was
still writing. The dev server no longer watches public/, which it never serves
through its module graph (measured after: no reload). Rudder's corner pill also
grew with every streamed word; while recording it is now 300px wide and shows the
newest words, cut from the front.
AUDIT34 card 9 (LOW): window.__UPG_MAP__, __UPG_SELECT__ and __UPG_SEARCH__ are
last-writer-wins. Embed two copies of this map on one page and the second mount
overwrites the first, so a gate driving 'the' map silently drives whichever
happened to mount last.
Adds __UPG_MAPS__, __UPG_SELECTS__ and __UPG_SEARCHES__, each keyed by the
embedder's instanceId (the same field poster-wall.vue:55 keys on), falling back
to the profile name.
THE BARE HANDLES ARE KEPT AND STILL POINT AT THE LAST MOUNT, deliberately. Every
existing consumer reads them directly -- internal/check-map-data-painted.mjs plus
~10 call sites across data/visual-gate.mjs and data/palette-preview.mjs -- and
those are browser gates. Removing the bare handles would break them to fix a case
they never hit, since a gate page mounts exactly one copy. This change is purely
additive: nothing reads the registries yet, so no consumer behaviour moves.
The honest limit, stated in the code rather than papered over: two copies with NO
instanceId and the SAME profile still collide, because nothing in the embed
contract distinguishes them. A mount counter would give them unique keys but make
the key unpredictable between mounts, so a gate could not name the instance it
wants -- worse than a key that repeats.
AUDIT34 card 3 (gospel's Driver-lens audit): the on-screen prayer-card fetch
hardcoded &lang=en, so the wall showed English people-group and country names
whatever language the reader picked -- while every word of the interface around
them was translated.
Fixed at three more sites than the card named, all reader-visible:
poster-wall.vue:161 the prayer-card deck (the card's site)
upg-100-list.vue:1983 countryNameMap, which feeds resolveTerritory() -- so
these names are the territory labels and the legend
upg-100-list.vue:2294 the MAIN records fetch: the pins, their popups, the list
The first uses getRuntimeLocale() || detectLocale(), the pattern the sibling
plugins already use (people-groups-grid.vue:276,
research-map-plus-grid.vue:147). The other two use this file's existing
packetLang(), which its two packet fetches already used -- so all four fetches in
that file now read one source.
The printed poster is deliberately NOT changed: generate.mjs fetches lang=en of
its own accord, and whether a print artifact is English-only is an open question
with the Driver (raised by regions-plugin). This is the on-screen surface only.
The Driver's "the research map isn't connecting with the legend", on the WAGF Regions tab. It connected
and then wiped itself 0.4 s later, which is why it read as not connecting at all.
rega's stack trace ended three rounds of my guessing. The highlight paints at +51 ms; at +438 ms
clearAllHighlights runs, reached from applyDimFilter({kind:null}) through the mapStore.selectedRegion
watcher — so selectedRegion had gone FALSY while externalRegion still read "asia". Not the echo guard I
suspected first, not the JS filter scan I suspected second, not the shared legend's nodes reset I fixed
third (that was a real and separate bug). The round trip did it.
A row click emits map-filtered; the composite pushes the state back down as externalFilters; that payload
carries every key it knows — region:"asia" AND language:"". This handler set the region and, one line
later, "cleared" a language that had never been set. mapStore.selectLanguage() nulls selectedRegion by
design (exclusive selection, Bug 13) and does so even when its argument is null, so selectLanguage(null)
is a clear-everything in disguise. The 0.4 s is the debounce plus the trip through the composite and the
grid, which is why it looked like a mysterious timer.
An empty incoming value is now a NO-OP unless that dimension is actually lit. A genuine host clear still
clears — the dimension is lit and the new value is empty — and a genuine host selection still swaps
exclusively, which is what Bug 13 asked for. Guarded on BOTH axes, not just the one that bit: region and
language are symmetric here and fixing one would have left its mirror image.
★ THE SHARP EDGE IS IN THE SHARED STORE, and I am not moving it from here. selectLanguage(null),
selectRegion(null) and their siblings each null the other dimensions unconditionally, so every caller that
means "clear this one axis" is silently clearing all of them. That is load-bearing for other maps and
changing it belongs to whoever owns the store, so this fix is profile-local and the edge is recorded
rather than patched from a plugin lane.
Verified: gates:pre 12/12. Needs eyes: rega — the WAGF "Asia (Region)" click should now still be lit at
5 s, with the legend row keeping its state class.
The Driver: red dots on a mostly green map look wrong. A dark slate dot (#1e293b) with the existing
white ring reads on every fill the map uses, the green/amber/red/grey country bands and India's
pale-to-deep blue states, and it carries no good/bad meaning (red is this map's 'under 25%').
Candidates compared side by side on the world, India and West Africa views before choosing.
Rebuilt cities-internet and regenerated the tree (integrity hashes).
The ROP Tree and Language Families legend tabs (and the 'Go up to …' crumb built
from them) were typed in English; they now read the existing tabs.* catalogue
entries. ROP25 stays as the registry's name.
pplr carried private copies of SemanticTreeLegend and usePplrInstance that had drifted.
The instance copy lacked activeTabTouched, so the legend tab snapped back to its
default after a pick; the legend copy spoke English accessibility labels in every
locale. Both are deleted and the views import the library versions.
The gallery added every experimental bundle as a tab, so Rudder's engine probes
(/api/rudder/status, /devices, /events) logged three 404s on every embed of the
gallery. The manifest now carries each profile's meta targets, and the gallery
skips a bundle whose profiles are all corner widgets or declare targets without
"web". Rudder itself contacts its engine only where one can exist: the dev
server, the desktop app, or an explicit apiBase.
40 console.log calls (fetch progress, grid sizes, sample rows, API stats) ran on every
load; public-hygiene flagged them. Warnings and errors are kept.
70a9ce16 gave the cleared state a data-driven shape and stopped there, which was half a fix. The pins
layer is ADDED with a constant "circle-opacity": 1, and applyPinOpacity is otherwise first reached from
a legend click — so the new expression was only ever the CLEARED state, and the first selection was
still the moment MapLibre needed a new shader variant. The 3.2-3.5 s freeze rega profiled would have
survived the fix meant to remove it.
One line: applyPinOpacity(map.value) in the map-ready path, right after the layer is added. matchExpr is
left UNDEFINED on purpose — "re-apply what is current" — so a selection already restored from a
share-link hash is preserved rather than cleared at boot.
★ HOW IT WAS FOUND, because the method is the point: reading the BUILT bundle, not the source. The
addLayer call with its constant opacity is right there in the shipped JS, next to the pre-warm
expression I had just added — two facts that cannot both be true of a working fix. I had been about to
hand rega a tree to measure and would have read a still-slow first click as "the engine folds the
expression away", which is the wrong lesson and a day of chasing it.
Verified: gates:pre 12/12. Unchanged: this is still zero visual difference — both branches of the
boot-time expression are the same alpha.
The Driver: on Simple Research the research map is not connecting with the legend. It was connecting —
two seconds later, which a reader correctly reads as "nothing happened".
I was wrong about the cause twice, and both wrong answers were cheap to discard because they were
measured. First guess: a late echo through applyDimFilter's 80ms dedupe, whose toggle branch would read
the echo as a second click and clear the highlight. rega instrumented the pin layer every frame for 2 s:
ZERO 'legend:highlight' events on every click and no apply-then-revert anywhere. Second guess: the JS
filter scan in zoomToLegendRow, which walks 2,106 features evaluating ['in',['get','uniqueId'],
['literal', ~700 ids]] linearly. Benchmarked at the real shapes: 13.9 ms per full scan, 4.4 ms with a
memoised Set. Two orders of magnitude short, so nothing there was "optimised".
rega's CPU profile named it. ONE task of 3.2-3.5 s, self time getShaderParameter 3,583 ms +
getProgramParameter 551 ms: the GPU compiling a NEW SHADER VARIANT. The click was the first moment
circle-opacity stopped being a constant and became a per-feature expression, and a data-driven paint
property needs a different program. The second click on the same map costs 205 ms — the program is
cached — which is the signature of a one-time compile and not of anything in our logic. The legend's DOM
was never involved: 34 rows before the click, 34 after.
So the fix is not a smaller expression. It is that the first SELECTION must not be the moment the
variant is first needed. With nothing selected the value is now ['case',['has','uniqueId'], a, a] —
both branches identical, so not one pixel changes — and circle-opacity is data-driven from the first
paint. The program compiles during boot beside every other one, and a selection afterwards only
re-uploads attribute values.
The trade, stated rather than hidden: boot compiles one more program. On a real GPU that is tens of
milliseconds; rega measured seconds only because that box rasterises on the CPU through SwiftShader.
Paying it at load beats freezing the map mid-gesture, and the variant was going to be compiled on the
first interaction anyway.
Second finding from the same profile, fixed here too: circle-opacity was being rewritten 4-8 times for a
single click (+1.52, +1.57, +1.94, +5.17 s) because the selection handler, the glow sync and the slider
watcher all end up in this one function, and every write re-uploads the per-feature attribute. It now
writes only when the value actually differs — asked of the MAP rather than of a remembered key, so a
layer that gets torn down and re-added cannot leave the skip holding a dim that is no longer painted.
Verified: gates:pre 12/12 (check:setup-order included, since this touches module-scope state next to a
function that reads it). Needs eyes: rega, the same affinity click — expect the dim at the first frame
and one long task at BOOT instead.
rega, ?lang=ar on landing 38: "People's Republic of China" and "Lao People's Democratic Republic" were
still English in the top-countries chart. The API labels some countries with their FORMAL name, and
library/data/countries.json does not carry those — it says "China" and "Laos" — so reversing the English
name missed precisely the countries whose names are longest. Measured: both miss the name table, and
both resolve through the row (CHN -> CN -> الصين, LAO -> LA -> لاوس).
Every row already carries both halves: the label the chart aggregates on, and the alpha-3 in
country_code.value — the same accessor the choropleth joins on. Reading the pair out of the data is
exact and needs no alias table. The name table stays as the fallback, so a label whose rows are
currently filtered out still resolves, and a synthetic key ("Other") resolves to neither and renders as
itself.
Deliberately NOT a looser text match. "Democratic Republic of the Congo" and "Republic of the Congo" are
two countries, so stripping formal prefixes is how one would silently become the other — the failure
countryName.js's own header warns about, and the reason that file refuses to guess.
Still English, and not fixable from CLDR: the regions "Middle East" and "North America & Non-Spanish
Caribbean". M49 145 is "Western Asia" and 021 is "Northern America"; neither means the region we draw,
so naming them from CLDR would redraw the region rather than translate it. They need a translation
source, which is the Driver's call — the same class as the affinity blocs and language families.
Verified: check:sfc-parse PASS. Needs eyes: rega, ?lang=ar top-countries.
rega's load waterfall: the engine was requested only after the component tree
had rendered, and the dashboard's 384 KB country boundaries only after the whole
basemap style had loaded, so each waited on the other. The engine download now
starts when the map composable is set up, and the boundaries when the dashboard's
map panel mounts; the style handler awaits that same download.
The rail showed Gospel x Internet as "board": a row's name fell back to its
profile id unless a hand-kept DISPLAY_NAME table had an entry. The manifest now
carries each profile's .meta.json label (or title / displayName), and the rail
shows it without a trailing aside in parentheses; with no label it shows a name
made from the ids ("Gospel Resources · Charts"). DISPLAY_NAME is an override
only and is empty. check:studio-rail fails if any row would show a bare id.
The Driver, 2026-09-28: an export-poster button must open the PRINT DIALOG with a poster preview,
never a direct download. Simple Research was doing exactly the forbidden thing — render a PNG, hand it
to a download helper — so a reader got doxa-prayer-poster.png in their downloads folder with no
preview, no paper size, and no way to print it without opening it somewhere else first.
The dialog IS the preview. printImageBlob() puts the rendered poster on a sheet of exactly the spec's
size (@page 8.5in x 11in, margin 0 — the renderer already composed the margins in) and raises the
dialog over the map. It goes in library/composables/printInPlace.js, which is THE print mechanism here
and already carries the Driver's earlier ruling that killed the pop-up path: an iframe cannot be
blocked and needs no user gesture, so the same call works for a human click and for an agent.
The ellipsis comes back on the label. It was stripped while the button handed over a file directly,
and an ellipsis promises a dialog — which is now what happens.
★ AND THE GATE ASSERTED THE OLD RULING, which is the part worth naming. check-export-one-click passed
while the button did the thing the Driver has now ruled against: it waited for a download and checked
the PNG's dimensions. A gate that encodes a superseded ruling does not just miss the defect, it defends
it — the next person to "fix" this button would have had to break a green gate to do it. It is replaced
by check-export-poster-prints, same four cases (leaf and gallery, en and ar), asserting the new
contract: one click, some frame calls window.print() within 120s, the printing document is the
1700x2200 poster on an 8.5in x 11in sheet, and NO download arrives. window.print is stubbed in every
frame — the native dialog is modal and would hang the run — so this measures everything up to the
dialog and not the browser's own chrome, which is the right boundary for a headless gate.
Why the download half is asserted separately: a button that opens the dialog AND saves a file still
breaks the rule, and a download that lands late is still a download, so it is judged over the whole run
rather than at a moment.
Verified: gates:pre 12/12, check:doc-scripts and check:no-credentials-omit PASS with the rename.
NOT verified here: the new gate needs a browser, and this agent does not start one — rega runs it.
rega's ?lang=ar pass (KA3, 3d64bcad) found English on a localized map in four places, and the census
behind it explains why no gate saw them. Catalogue coverage is COMPLETE: of the 760 keys my bundles
name across the 21 areas they reach, ZERO are missing from any of the ten non-English locales, and the
per-locale English-identical values are numerals, acronyms and cognates rather than debt. Everything
rega actually read was a string no catalogue ever held.
· THE PROJECTION PILL said "🌐 Globe" / "▭ Flat" in all eleven locales. The icon is now the label.
Neither word has a catalogue entry and authoring ten new strings for a two-state toggle to say what
a glyph already says is the wrong trade — but mapui.enableGlobe / mapui.disableGlobe DO ship in all
eleven, as the ACTION, which is what a button should announce. They become the accessible name and
the tooltip. min-width joins min-height on the pill: the 24px used to come free from the text.
· THE TABLE FOOTER said "Σ 2,107 groups". dashboard.groups has shipped in eleven locales all along
(ar "مجموعة") and this one call site never read it. Written with the same singular/plural test as
the header count so the two cannot disagree at one row.
· THE REGION CHART labelled its bars with the prayer API's English region names. Seven regions is a
closed set, so they are now CATALOGUED — five generated from vendored CLDR by
internal/generate-wagf-region-names.mjs, which is the same data countryName.js already trusts.
Generating is what keeps seventy translations out of my hands. middle_east and
north_america_&_non-spanish_caribbean stay English: M49 145 is "Western Asia" and 021 is "Northern
America", and neither means the region we draw. An English label a reader can match to the map beats
a localized one that names the wrong territory. --check verifies the catalogue against CLDR.
· TOP COUNTRIES labelled its bars with the API's English country names. By aggregation time the
alpha-3 is gone, so countryName.js gains iso3ForEnglishName() — reversing its OWN table, exact where
it matches and silent where it does not — which is precisely the ✓ case its header describes.
One thing found while wiring those: the BAR label was the only chart surface still printing the raw
facet key. The donut, its legend and both tooltips already went through legendLabel(); the bar list did
not, which is why these labels stayed English after the donut was fixed for rega's earlier survey. Both
new facets are projected there, so the two charts cannot disagree about a name again.
English is left EXACTLY as authored. Both projections return the key untouched at locale 'en', which
also keeps the 42 countries whose CLDR name differs from ours reading as they do today. Nothing
localizes a VALUE: data-key, isActive() and every click and filter path still carry the canonical
English, the rule the religion donut already followed.
Verified: gates:pre 12/12, check:i18n-keys-exist / parity / never-translated PASS, and the generator's
own --check PASS. Rendering on ?lang=ar goes to rega.
check:public-hygiene reports role nouns in doxa-maps-spa/manifest.json.
studio guessed a meta.json description; it is neither that nor the SPA's.
The manifest generator extracts each element's @description from its SFC
header, and both leaking entries are my files: region-dashboards.vue and
regions-mfe.vue.
Rewritten to describe the element rather than who asked for it. Verified by
regenerating the tree: doxa-maps-spa/manifest.json goes 2 occurrences to 0.
Found the same way as the last two: match the shipped text back to source
rather than reason forward from the bundle name.
regions-plugin challenged the record I had just written, and they were right. I gave the 7 explicitly-named
ShareAlike countries their own field because share-alike is a stronger duty than attribution — and by that
same reasoning the field should hold 65. Open Data Commons ODbL 1.0 is itself a SHARE-ALIKE licence for
databases: alongside attribution it requires a Derivative Database be offered under ODbL, and it carries a
keep-open provision. So my 58 ODbL countries are the same class as my 7, and separating them buried exactly
what the field existed to surface.
★ WHAT CONVINCED ME WAS THIS REPO, NOT THE LICENCE TEXT. regions pointed at
library/scripts/posters/data/README.md:36-50, and I read it: Natural Earth's 1:10m ROADS were requested and
DELIBERATELY NOT SHIPPED because of an ODbL attribution obligation. Someone here already dropped a whole
dataset over this class of duty. An argument from the licence would have been my reading of a clause; an
argument from a decision already taken in this tree is evidence.
THE RECORD NOW SPLITS THREE WAYS, with the iso3 lists so each is checkable:
32 duty-free (28 Public Domain + 4 CC0)
65 attribution-only
65 SHARE-ALIKE CLASS (58 ODbL 1.0 + 7 explicit ShareAlike)
That is a materially different picture from "130 need attribution, 7 are stronger": it says HALF the
duty-bearing countries may constrain how a derivative is licensed, not merely how it is credited.
⚠ AND IT IS EXPLICITLY NOT A LEGAL CONCLUSION. Whether a redistributed boundary file is a "Derivative
Database" under ODbL is precisely the clause a giveaway needs a real answer on, and neither regions-plugin
nor I is qualified to give it. The record says so in _duty_classes._open and the question goes up with the
other licensing items — visible rather than settled by omission, which is the same failure the empty
`licences: {}` was.
The table stays here as the single source of truth; regions' data/boundaries/ATTRIBUTION references it by
path rather than copying it, because one table in two places drifts.
