Precipitation on a °C page now reads "4.90 cm" where it read "49.0 mm".
Both units keep two decimals. cm and inches are only 2.54x apart, so cm needs the
same resolution inches have — at one decimal every light-rain day would collapse
to 0.0 or 0.1 cm, and the source itself is hundredths of an inch.
Ingest is untouched: climate.py still converts the upstream mm to inches, which
remains the stored unit and the value carried in data-precip-in.

Defaulting climate pages to the city's temperature convention left every page
half-converted: a Delhi reader got °C next to "9 mph" and "0.00 in". One flag now
drives every measure — picking °C also gives mm and km/h.
Absolute humidity stays g/m³ in both systems; there is no imperial unit for it
anyone would recognise, so converting it would only make the page worse.
units.js becomes the single source for all of it. The formatting logic existed in
three independent copies — shared.js's fmtPrecip/fmtWind/fmtHumid, a second set
inside fmtMetricVal, and a third baked into chart.js's series labels, axis ticks
and tooltip — which is why the units drifted apart in the first place. shared.js
now re-exports from units.js so its importers are unchanged, and chart.js carries
a per-series unit `kind` in place of sniffing for a "°" suffix, which could not
have extended to three unit families.
Server-rendered pages gain the carrier they were missing: precipitation and wind
now render as <span class="precip" data-precip-in> / <span class="wind"
data-wind-mph>, the same contract temperature already had, so climate.js can
repaint them on toggle and the attribute stays imperial as the source of truth.
Precision follows the unit: millimetres get one decimal where inches get two.
0.04 in and 1.0 mm are the same amount, and "1.02 mm" would advertise precision
the source doesn't have. Wind rounds half-up to match Math.round, as temperature
already does.
The weekly table's wind and rain cells are bare numbers to keep the grid narrow,
so their row labels now carry the unit and rebuild per render. Static copy that
names a unit — the legend's "(mph)", "(inches)", and a "(°F)" that had been wrong
for °C readers since the country defaults landed — is marked up with
data-unit-label and painted from the same source.
The chart keeps its imperial domain; only labels convert, so point positions and
the fan geometry are untouched.
Push and email bodies are still imperial-only (notify.py): they are composed
server-side with no client to repaint them and no per-user unit stored, which is
the same limitation temperature already has there. Left for a follow-up.

The homepage strip floored percentiles into 1-99 while the Day page rendered
"100th pct" for the same reading. Rather than teach the Day page a second copy
of the rule, put it in grading.pct_ordinal() and have every surface defer to it:
the Day page, the calendar tooltip, the chart labels, the city pages and the
strip.
Two bugs fell out of unifying them:
- The city pages rendered `{{ c.percentile }}th pct` against a float, so all
~1000 of them showed "97.1th pct", "66.4th pct", "16.5th pct" — and would say
"1th"/"2th"/"3th" for the low tail. Live in prod.
- Python's round() is half-to-even and JavaScript's Math.round is half-up, so
16.5 gave "16th" server-side and "17th" client-side. The Python helper uses
floor(x + 0.5) to match the frontend exactly; a cross-language check over every
.5 boundary now agrees on all of them.
The frontend mirrors the rule as pctOrd() in shared.js, replacing the bare ord()
at all five percentile call sites (day.js, calendar.js, chart.js x2, app.js).
ord() stays as the general ordinal helper it always was.
The button was dead on plain HTTP and failed silently everywhere.
Browsers only expose geolocation on secure origins, but `navigator.geolocation`
still EXISTS on http:// — getCurrentPosition just fails with a permission error
("Only secure origins are allowed"). The guard was `if (!navigator.geolocation)
return;`, which passes on http://, so the call went ahead, errored, and landed
in an empty error callback. Nothing happened at all.
`make lan-run` serves plain HTTP on 0.0.0.0:8137 so phones can reach it, so the
button could never work in the normal dev-and-phone workflow, and gave no hint
why. It would have worked on thermograph.org, which is HTTPS.
- Gate on `window.isSecureContext`, not just the API's presence. Where the
browser will refuse, hide the locate button and promote "Pick on the map" to
primary rather than offering a control that cannot work.
- Report failures: a declined prompt, a timeout, and an unavailable fix each get
their own message in an aria-live slot. A silent failure is indistinguishable
from a broken button, which is exactly how this went unnoticed.
- Show a "Locating…" state while the fix is pending; it can take seconds.
To exercise geolocation against the LAN dev server, serve it over TLS:
`make lan-run TLS=1` (self-signed cert into certs/).
Verified by driving the button in a real browser across all three cases:
insecure origin (button hidden, map promoted), permission granted (hero
re-points at the located place), permission denied (message shown, button
restored).
The homepage was a bare tool: a find-bar and an empty panel reading "Find a
location to begin." A visitor arriving from a search result or a shared link
learned nothing about what the product does before deciding to leave.
Rebuild it around the Weekly view, which is untouched:
- Hero with the question as the h1, and a grade card showing a real graded
example — the most unusual city we're currently tracking, either tail. The
card's frame and text slots are server-rendered with reserved heights, so
app.js re-pointing it at the visitor's own place shifts nothing.
- "Unusual right now" strip, CSS scroll-snap, no JS carousel. A cold-tail city
is force-included whenever one qualifies.
- Stance line, how-it-works, explore cards, and 12 city chips linking into the
~1000-page /climate surface.
- Monthly digest form, in the footer of every page.
Serve / from Jinja instead of a static file with placeholder substitution, so
crawlers and no-JS readers get the whole page as real HTML. home.html.j2
extends base.html.j2 and carries app.js's DOM contract over verbatim; the brand
degrades to a <p> so the hero owns the sole h1. frontend/index.html is deleted
rather than left behind the static mount, where it would keep serving indexable
duplicate content.
"Where is it most unusual right now" has no cheap answer at request time —
percentiles live inside zlib-compressed payload blobs with no column to sort on.
So homepage.py sweeps the warm cache and writes data/homepage.json, read by the
template. The sweep is strictly cache-only (climate.load_cached_recent_forecast
is new, the sibling of load_cached_history), so grading ~1000 cities costs zero
upstream requests. It rides the notifier's timer behind an hourly guard rather
than starting a second daemon, and also runs at the tail of warm_cities so a
fresh deploy has a populated feed.
Instrumentation: metrics gains a product-event counter keyed by (event,
referrer domain, UTC day), behind an allowlist and a per-IP rate limit, fed by
POST /api/v2/event. The referrer is taken from the request's own header, never
from the client. The beacon gets its own inbound category that record_inbound
ignores, so reporting an interaction doesn't also count as traffic. The
dashboard grows an events block with per-referrer attribution.
Email is scaffolded but sends nothing yet. mailer.py talks stdlib smtplib to a
local Postfix null client on 127.0.0.1:25 (deploy/provision-mail.sh), so the
choice between direct-to-MX and relaying through a provider stays a Postfix
config change with no code change. The backend defaults to "console", which
logs and sends nothing, so dev and tests exercise the whole signup path safely.
Signups land in pending_digest unconfirmed; collecting the list shouldn't wait
on delivery.
Also adds /privacy, linked from the footer and kept out of the sitemap.
The strip's classes are named unusual-* rather than record-*: .record-card is
already the SEO records page's, and reusing it leaked layout rules onto
/climate/<slug>/records.
* Add account system foundation: email/password auth with cookie sessions
Introduce the app's first authoritative, user-owned data in a separate
data/accounts.sqlite (SQLAlchemy), kept apart from the disposable derived-cache
DB. Wire fastapi-users for email/password signup, cookie-based login/logout, and
a session-check endpoint, backed by a database session strategy so logins survive
restarts and are revocable.
- db.py: async (aiosqlite) + sync SQLAlchemy engines over accounts.sqlite, WAL +
foreign keys, create_db_and_tables().
- models.py: User, AccessToken, Subscription, Notification tables.
- users.py: pwdlib hashing, HttpOnly cookie transport (path-scoped, SameSite=Lax,
Secure via env), DatabaseStrategy sessions, current-user dependencies.
- schemas.py: user + subscription + notification Pydantic models.
- app.py: mount auth/register/users routers on v2, create tables at startup.
- Pin fastapi-users[sqlalchemy]/aiosqlite; ignore data/accounts.sqlite*.
* Add account header entry and auth modal (frontend)
account.js self-injects a header entry (following the units.js pattern) that
shows a Sign in button when logged out and an account menu when logged in, plus
an auth modal reusing the existing .mp-overlay/.mp-modal chrome for email/password
sign-in and account creation. A shared apiFetch helper sends the same-origin
cookie for authed calls; exported getUser/openAuth/onAuthChange back later phases.
Imported by every page entry module. On narrow screens the entry collapses to an
icon-only button so it doesn't crowd the title.
Enforce an 8-character minimum password in the user manager.
* Add subscription CRUD API and the alerts management page
Backend api_accounts.py adds user-scoped, cookie-authenticated endpoints to
create/list/update/delete subscriptions (and the notification reads used next):
POST snaps lat/lon to a grid cell, resolves a label, and rejects a duplicate
location+kind with 409; PATCH/DELETE are ownership-checked (404 on mismatch).
Mounted on the v2 prefix.
Frontend subscriptions.js + subscriptions.html serve the /alerts page: a sign-in
gate when logged out, an add flow that reuses the shared map picker and an editor
modal (kind, watched metrics, 95-99 percentile, two-sided), and a card list with
inline threshold/active edits and remove. Reachable from the account menu.
* Add background subscription evaluation engine
notify.py runs a daemon thread that periodically evaluates every active
subscription: it groups them by grid cell, reads history from the parquet cache
only (never spends archive quota) plus the hourly recent/forecast bundle, and
grades candidate days with the existing grading.grade_day. A watched metric that
lands at or beyond the threshold percentile fires a 'high' alert; a two-sided
subscription also fires 'low' for the symmetric cold/calm/dry tail (precip stays
one-directional). Observed subscriptions look at the last few recorded days,
forecast subscriptions at the coming week.
Two guards keep it quiet: a UNIQUE(subscription, event_date, metric, direction,
kind) constraint dedups repeat events, and a per-subscription weekly cap
(last_notified_at) limits each alert to one notification per 7 days. The loop
tolerates a bad cell or an upstream rate limit without aborting the pass. Started
and stopped from the app lifespan; gated by THERMOGRAPH_ENABLE_NOTIFIER.
* Add in-app notification center (header bell)
Extend account.js with a notification bell beside the account menu: an unread
badge, a dropdown listing recent notifications (title, body, relative time), a
per-item mark-read on click, and a Mark all read action, all through the
cookie-authed notifications API. Unread state refreshes on open and polls every
two minutes while signed in; polling stops on sign-out. Styled to match the app,
responsive down to mobile.
* Harden accounts: expired-session cleanup, engine tests, ops docs
- notify.py sweeps expired login sessions (access tokens past their lifetime)
once per evaluation pass.
- Add hermetic unit tests for the evaluation engine's trigger detection (high/low
tails, precip one-directional, normal = no trigger) and notification wording.
- Document accounts.sqlite (authoritative, back it up), the single-worker
requirement for the in-process evaluator, and the new env vars in DEPLOY.md.
app.js carried the whole SVG chart implementation (~380 lines: palette,
percentile fans, the shared line-series renderer, per-metric wrappers,
pointer hover) alongside its page logic. That moves to chart.js: the
drawing dimensions live there as live-bound module state behind
setChartWidth(); attachChartHover takes the day list as a parameter
instead of reaching into page globals. app.js keeps buildChart and the
PNG export — page orchestration — and drops to ~500 lines. Any page can
now plot a metric series (e.g. a history sparkline on the day page).
calendar.js's hand-rolled streaming loader — bounded-parallel pool,
token cancellation, stale-while-revalidate re-merge — becomes
cache.js chunkedFetch(urls, {ttl, concurrency, isCurrent, onResult});
fetchCalendar keeps only its intent (chunk URLs, day merge, contiguous-
prefix rendering). Same pool semantics, verbatim.
Verified: node --check; 108 backend tests; headless-Chromium smoke on
all five pages against live data (chart renders + metric toggle,
calendar grid streams + metric switch, ladders, compare, legend).
The frontend was classic scripts sharing one global scope, with a
load-order contract enforced only by comments (leaflet -> nav ->
shared -> mappicker -> page) and hand-rolled window.Thermograph /
window.LocationPicker namespaces. Page scripts now import what they use;
the dependency graph replaces the ordering contract, and no app globals
remain (Leaflet stays a classic script / global L, loaded first).
nav.js had grown four concerns; it's now three single-purpose modules:
- nav.js: last-location memory + header view-links + locHash.
- units.js: the °F/°C toggle and unit-aware formatting. The compare
special case is gone — pages that want the toggle import units.js;
compare simply doesn't.
- cache.js: the IndexedDB response cache, SWR getJSON, bundle-seeded
view prefetch and neighbor warming. prefetchViews(lat, lon, ownViews)
now takes the calling page's own view names instead of a page-identity
map (VIEW_OWN) — adding a page no longer means editing this module.
The slice->URL map stays here as bundle-contract knowledge.
frontend/package.json ({"type": "module"}) makes CI's node --check
parse the files as modules.
Verified: node --check on all files as modules; 108 backend tests;
headless-Chromium smoke across all five pages against live data — zero
console/page errors, all render assertions pass (cards, chart, calendar
grid + metric switch, ladders, compare ranking, legend scales).
The page scripts each re-declared the shared presentation layer — the tier
color table existed in four places (app.js, calendar.js, day.js, style.css)
and the scale label tables in three (plus legend.html's own drifting copy),
alongside per-page copies of the dryness ramp, formatters, ord, todayISO,
esc, the weather icons/summary, month helpers and the 2-year range chunker.
~240 duplicated lines deleted (net -236 with the new module included).
- frontend/shared.js (IIFE, extends window.Thermograph): tier colors read
from style.css's :root custom properties at load — the CSS is now the
single source of truth; the JS map exists only because inline-SVG work
(chart + PNG export) needs literal values, with hex fallbacks for a
missing stylesheet. Plus SCALE_TEMP/SCALE_RAIN, drynessColor, fmt*, ord,
todayISO, esc, placeLabel, month/chunk date helpers, clickOpensPicker,
and the weatherType summary (dsr-aware; the day page just omits dsr).
- nav.js: wrapped in an IIFE — its ~15 top-level functions were globals in
the shared classic-script scope, and a leaked locHash collided with page
destructuring (caught by the browser smoke, not by node --check).
locHash is now exported and used by all 8 former hand-built hash sites.
- mappicker.js: initFindButton/setFindLabel replace the Find-button block
each page rebuilt.
- legend.html renders its scales from the shared tables, so the guide can
no longer drift from what the app shows.
Verified: node --check on all JS; 108 backend tests; headless-Chromium
smoke over all five pages against live data — no console/page errors,
legend rows 9/9, weekly 7 cards + colored chart/key/table + metric toggle,
calendar grid + key + metric switch, day 7 ladders + weather icon,
compare seeded rank card.
- Widen the content column in steps at 1680/2400/3400px so 1440p-4K monitors
get real layout instead of a 1200px strip; header brand aligns with it.
- Calendar: months flow as a responsive multi-column grid (year-at-a-glance
on desktop, single column on phones); the time-filter panel spans the
content width as one row (Range | Seasons/Years/Weather) on desktop;
category-totals strip widened to 720px.
- Day: metric ladder cards lay out 2-up from 1000px (3-up at 4K).
- Weekly: the calendar CTA is a compact button (sub-line removed); the trend
chart's drawing width now tracks its container (~1.5 CSS px per SVG unit,
redrawn on resize) so wide screens gain plot room instead of magnification.
- Compare: scope the rank-bar segment colors to .cmp-seg — the bare
.cmp-comfort rule was painting a green box behind the comfort slider.
- Calendar/Compare From-To month inputs open the native month picker on
click (input.showPicker, ignored where unsupported).
- CLAUDE.md: require validating design changes at mobile/tablet/1080p/2K/4K.
Remove the US+Canada bounding box so every endpoint accepts any lat/lon.
The grading pipeline was already global-ready (ERA5 archive, timezone=auto,
day-of-year climatology), so opening it up is mostly deleting the guard —
plus the edge cases that only exist once the whole globe is in play:
- grid.py: snap() wraps longitude into [-180, 180) and clamps latitude, and
cell centers are normalized so the polar row and the cells straddling the
antimeridian always report valid coordinates to the weather/geocoding APIs.
snap() and from_id() now share one _cell() builder, making id round-trips
exact by construction (verified with a 300k-point global sweep).
- nav.js: neighbor-cell prefetch skips rows past the poles and wraps
longitudes across the dateline instead of sending out-of-range queries.
- Nominatim reverse geocoding requests accept-language=en so place labels
render in one script worldwide (matching the forward geocoder).
- mappicker: search suggestions are no longer filtered to US/CA, the
placeholder and default map view are worldwide.
- calendar: season filter labels flip for southern-hemisphere locations
(Dec-Feb shows as Summer); the underlying month groups are unchanged, so
saved filter selections keep meaning the same months.
Verified end-to-end on a scratch server: Tokyo and Sydney grade with real
labels, a Fiji cell on the antimeridian's east edge builds and serves warm
hits from the derived store, and prefetch=1 on a cold cell still answers
204 without spending weather-API quota.
* Pin the °F/°C toggle to the header's top-right on all widths
The unit toggle sat inside .brand after a flex-basis:auto title block, so on
narrow (phone) widths the long tagline claimed the first row and bumped the
toggle onto its own line mid-header. Give the title block flex:1 1 0 with
min-width:0 so it contributes ~nothing to the wrap decision and shrinks
instead — keeping the toggle on the logo's row, top-right, with the tagline
wrapping beneath and the view tabs on their own row below.
* Weekly view: center the daily-graded window on the target day
Reframe the "Daily, graded" chart + table on the weekly view around the
selected target day instead of ending at it:
- Show two weeks of history before the target, the target itself, then up
to 7 days after it. Days after the target are real observations when they
are already in the past and the forward forecast when they run into the
future.
- Mark the target day with a solid orange line on the chart (and an accent
edge on its table column); draw the dashed "forecast →" divider only where
the window actually crosses into the future and it is separated from the
target marker.
Backend: _build_grade now grades a [target-days, target+after] window built
from both the archive and the recent+forecast bundle (the bundle wins per
date; the archive fills older gaps), so any past target renders its
surrounding week. api/grade gains an `after` param (default 7) and the cache
key includes it; the /cell prefetch bundle builds the matching slice.
Frontend: the chart consumes the server-built window directly — the separate
forecast fetch and gap-merge are gone. The target is looked up by date for
the comparison cards (the newest row is now a forecast day), and the graded
table opens centered on the target column.
* Weekly view: extend the after-target window to 14 days
Bump the daily-graded window's after-target span from 7 to 14 days. A target
far enough in the past now shows 14 observed days after it; a recent target
shows its observed days plus the 1-7 available forecast days, and the forecast
naturally caps at ~7 days out. The after cap stays at 14.
Compare was the only page loading several cells at once, so its concurrent
reverse-geocode calls burst past Nominatim's ~1 req/sec limit, got rate-limited,
and cached a null label — leaving those locations stuck on bare coordinates.
- climate.py: serialize + rate-limit reverse_geocode behind a lock (>=1.1s between
Nominatim calls, re-checking the cache under the lock), so concurrent callers
resolve reliably instead of bursting.
- store.py: shorten the reverse-geocode miss TTL 1 day -> 1 hour so a transient
null retries soon; add a `cache` flag to put_payload.
- app.py: don't persist a calendar payload whose place failed to resolve, so the
coordinates fallback can't stick for the life of the token.
Weekly showed the place name twice (top label beside the Find button AND the
results <h2>). Keep the <h2> (it carries the coords + climatology context) as the
single name display; the top label now only holds the transient coordinates
written on selection and is hidden once the named results render.

* Picker map: smaller city labels, darker/bolder roads (split tile layers)
Split the CARTO Voyager basemap into two raster layers so label size and road
weight are independent: a labels-free base upscaled via tileSize 512 + zoomOffset
-1 (bold, prominent roads) plus a labels-only layer at natural size on top (small,
crisp city names). The darken/saturate filter now targets the base layer only
(.mp-base: brightness .92, contrast 1.12), deepening the roads while leaving label
text at full contrast.

* Location label: show coordinates immediately, then resolve to place name
On selecting a location, write the raw coordinates to the location label right
away, so the user sees the picked spot instantly instead of a stale/blank label.
The existing post-fetch render already overwrites it with the reverse-geocoded
"neighborhood, city, region" string (data.place), so the label now reads
coords → place name live.
- app.js / calendar.js / day.js: set coords in the selection handler before the
fetch; the render/initOnce overwrite is unchanged.
- compare.js: show coordinates through the pending + loading states (instead of
"Locating…") so each chip's coords are replaced live by the place name once
scored.

* Revert "Merge pull request #22 from griffemi/fem-orchid-palette"
This reverts commit f7d16238f2, reversing
changes made to 34e4fed1f0.
* Restyle location-picker map: themed CARTO basemap + branded pin
Replace the plain gray OpenStreetMap raster in the location picker with a
theme-aware CARTO basemap (no API key): sleek "dark matter" tiles under the
dark theme, colorful "voyager" tiles under the light theme, so the map
matches whichever is active. Swap Leaflet's default blue marker for an
accent-colored teardrop pin (the same glyph the Find button uses), and theme
the zoom controls + attribution to sit in the app's surfaces.
- mappicker.js: theme-aware CARTO tileLayer (retina, CARTO attribution);
L.divIcon "mp-pin" used for the marker
- style.css: .mp-pin styling, themed .leaflet-bar / attribution, map shadow

A shared units module in nav.js holds the active unit (persisted), converts
Fahrenheit API values for display, and notifies pages to repaint on a switch.
A segmented °F/°C control is injected into the top-right of every header
(left of the view tabs); Weekly, Day and Calendar convert every temperature —
cards, dense timeline, trend chart axis/labels, tooltips and the PNG export —
while wind, humidity and precip stay as-is. Compare keeps its Fahrenheit
comfort slider, so the toggle is hidden there.
Replace the clinical blue→green→red diverging temperature scale, the
green→navy rain ramp, and the orange accent with a warmer, more vibrant
"Orchid Sunset" palette: violet/lavender cool end, soft blush middle,
rose/magenta warm end, hot-pink accent.
Keeps the diverging structure grading relies on (cool reads cold, warm
reads hot) and updates every mirror of the literals so PNG export and the
self-contained subpages stay in sync:
- style.css :root tier + precip vars, accent, cta-cal gradient/shadows,
dry-metric toggle; light-theme overrides for the near-white middle tiers
so "Normal" stays legible on white
- app.js TIER_COLORS, chartPalette() fallbacks, dry-streak ramp
- calendar.js TIER_COLORS, PRECIP_COLORS, dry-streak ramp
- day.js TIER_COLORS, PRECIP_COLORS, DRY_COLOR

* Compress API responses and revalidate static assets instead of re-downloading
- Add GZipMiddleware (min 1 KB): the 2-year calendar JSON shrinks ~6-8x.
- Serve pages/assets with Cache-Control: no-cache instead of no-store, so
browsers revalidate via the ETag/Last-Modified that FileResponse and
StaticFiles already emit. Unchanged assets now cost an empty 304 rather
than a full transfer on every page navigation, while deploys still show
up immediately.
* Persist derived responses in SQLite so grading is computed once per cell, not per request
New data/thermograph.sqlite (WAL) holds what's derived from the raw parquet
records — finished grade/calendar/day/forecast payloads and reverse-geocode
labels — so the expensive work (notably the 2-year calendar grade_range, ~270ms)
becomes a ~5ms database read that survives restarts and is shared across views.
Raw parquet stays the source of truth; the store is a pure accelerator (every
reader falls back to recomputing on a miss, and deleting the db is a safe reset).
Freshness is token-driven, not clock-driven: each cached payload is validated by
a token encoding what it was computed from (payload schema version, the archive
record's end date, the recent-fetch stamp). The existing freshness drivers are
untouched — get_history still tops up the tail hourly and get_recent_forecast
still refetches hourly — and tokens are derived from what they return, so cached
payloads expire exactly when their inputs change. The same tokens double as weak
ETags: If-None-Match answers with an empty 304 without touching the payload.
- backend/store.py: derived-payload + revgeo tables, thread-local WAL conns,
every helper fail-soft.
- app.py: endpoints split into pure payload builders + HTTP/caching shells; the
in-memory 10-minute _CAL_CACHE is retired (superseded by the persistent store).
- climate.py: revgeo persisted through the store; recent_stamp() and
load_cached_history() (no-network read) helpers.
- backend/migrate.py + make migrate: idempotent, resumable backfill of the store
from existing parquet caches (default calendar span + latest-day detail +
revgeo, ≤1 throttled Nominatim call per unlabeled cell). Never fetches weather.
- grid.from_id(): rebuild a cell from its cache filename (migrate tooling).
* Add /api/v2/cell: one bundle carrying every view's payload
GET /api/v2/cell?lat&lon returns the grade, forecast, calendar (last 24 months)
and day (today) payloads in one response, each the exact payload its per-view
endpoint returns — built by the same builders and cached under the same
derived-store keys/tokens — paired with the etag that endpoint would emit. The
frontend can warm all views with a single request, seed its per-view cache from
the slices, and later revalidate each view individually with If-None-Match. The
bundle's own etag combines the slices', so an unchanged bundle is an empty 304.
prefetch=1 is a warm-only mode for neighbor-cell prefetching with a hard
guarantee: it never spends weather-API quota. A cell with no cached archive
answers 204, and only the history-derived slices (calendar + latest-day detail)
are built. At most one Nominatim lookup for a never-labeled cell.
* Frontend: IndexedDB response cache with stale-while-revalidate + bundle prefetch
The per-URL response cache moves from localStorage/sessionStorage (~5 MB quota,
which multi-year calendar payloads regularly blew through) to IndexedDB, with an
in-memory map in front. Entries carry the server's ETag, so anything stale
revalidates conditionally — unchanged data costs an empty 304 and a re-stamp,
never a re-transfer. On network failure the stale copy is served over an error.
getJSON gains an optional onUpdate callback opting into stale-while-revalidate:
the three views (weekly, day, calendar) now render a cached copy immediately —
spinners are delayed 150ms so warm loads never flash-blank — and repaint only if
background revalidation finds changed data. New data shows up the moment it
exists instead of waiting out a TTL.
Cross-view prefetch collapses from one request per view to a single /api/v2/cell
bundle, whose slices (exact per-view payloads + their etags) are seeded under the
URLs each view actually requests; the bundle call itself is conditional via a
remembered etag. Afterwards the 8 surrounding grid cells are warmed server-side
with prefetch=1 (never spends weather-API quota; staggered ≥1.1s for the one
possible Nominatim lookup each), so tapping nearby lands on already-graded data.
Legacy tg:* storage entries are cleared once; cache entries untouched for two
weeks are pruned on page load.
Move each metric card's grade status into the top-right corner and put the
median on its own 'normal: <value>' line under the big number. Bold the
coordinates, climatology year range and sample-size count in the location
head, and label the sample line 'N days sample size (day ±7)'.
Calendar: drop the tagline and use a compact, roughly half-height header.
The Weekly location card joined coordinates, cell size, climatology range
and sample count into one dot-separated meta line. Stack them as one fact
per line so the important context reads top-down instead of as a run of
tags. Drop the '~N sq mi cell' wording from the Weekly/Day/Calendar meta
lines and the map hint.
Reverse-geocode at zoom 14 and prefer neighbourhood/suburb ahead of the
city so labels read 'Gowanus, New York' when OSM has that detail, falling
back to the city (and county) when it doesn't.
Replace the recurring '±7-day window' phrasing in the UI with plain
language ('a typical day', 'days around this date', 'typical climate').
On the precip row of the recent/forecast timeline, dry days now show the
running dry-streak count ("3d" = 3 days since measurable rain), tinted by
the same dryness ramp as the chart, rather than a bare "·".

On the Weekly page, no-rain (0") days now warm with the dry-streak ramp
(tan→red, deepening to a 14-day cap) instead of a flat blue/tan, matching
the Dry chart and calendar's dry-period language:
- Precip trend chart: no-rain day dots colored by drynessColor(dsr).
- "Daily, graded" timeline strip: Rain-row dry cells tinted by dsr via a
new optional color override on rdCell.
Rain days keep their intensity-tier colors; unknown streaks fall back to
the prior flat color, so nothing regresses.
