Siri was hit-and-miss on 'unleaded near me' (\u2018can't do that, searching
in app\u2019 fallback). The generic parameterized AppShortcut ('cheapest
${fuel}') competed with the fixed-fuel literal-word shortcuts for the same
intent, degrading NLU ranking; it was already documented as flaky. Remove it
(now 9 shortcuts, under the 10 cap) and add natural phrase variants for
unleaded/petrol ('What's the cheapest unleaded near me', 'Cheapest unleaded
near me', 'Where's the cheapest petrol'). All phrases keep .applicationName
per the iOS 26 metadata requirement. Build-verified in extract.actionsdata:
generic gone, new phrases registered.
Callers previously morphed the existing lines on a reload, so picking a new
range only glided in place. Now every range/fuel selection (the only reloads;
the sheet has no periodic refetch) replays the staggered per-series draw-in
via revealSeries(), so the lines visibly redraw left->right when the user
switches 7/30/90. Price<->vs-cheapest still morphs (pure view toggle, no
reload). Reduce Motion jump-cuts.
The single-waterline trace-in was invisible with sparse data (2 points draw
in one step). Replace it with a per-series waterline: each station's line now
traces left->right on first appearance, series revealed 0.18s apart in a
cascade so the draw is clearly visible. Newly-added favourites get a full
reveal immediately on reload; Reduce Motion still jump-cuts. Range/mode
morphs and numeric headline transition unchanged.
- Reloads (range/fuel switch, Price<->vs-cheapest) now glide the existing
lines + y-axis to the new data via withAnimation/.animation(value: mode)
instead of snapping.
- One-time left->right trace-in on first data appearance by revealing an
increasing prefix of each series' points (area + line stay in sync); later
switches morph rather than re-trace.
- Headline average rolls its digits with .contentTransition(.numericText).
- All animation honours .accessibilityReduceMotion (jump-cut to final state).
Kept two-pass area/line ordering, explicit series:, bounded fill bands, and
tight chartYScale unchanged.
The road-distance cache was keyed purely by station ID with no coordinate, so
a value routed to one pin could be served for a same-ID station whose stored
coordinate came from a different source (live fetch vs bundled offline dump
vs a corrected pin), reproducing Maps mismatches.
- RoadDistanceCache now stores each routed pin (CachedRoadDistance{meters,
lat, lng}) and roadDistanceMeters() only serves a value when the displayed
station's coordinate matches the pinned one (within ~11 m).
- Kept the existing origin-distance staleness guard.
- Verified embedded sample data (ids y1/se1/...) never collides with real
relay IDs, and the widget STRICT radius filter drops far-offline samples, so
no actual leak existed in practice — this closes the theoretical stale-pin
channel and future-proofs against coordinate fixes.
The keychain-first completed flag persists across reinstalls (same bundle id),
so a new install was treated as already-completed and onboarding silently
skipped while permissions still prompted. Add install identity:
- Store an install id in BOTH the app-own container defaults (wiped on
reinstall, persists across launches) and keychain (survives reinstall).
- isFreshInstall() is true on first-ever launch or when the local id is
missing/different from keychain (i.e. reinstalled); it seeds a fresh common
id so the next launch of the same install is not 'fresh' again.
- shouldShowOnboarding() = not completed || fresh install -> onboarding now
replays once per fresh/reinstall, never on ordinary launches.
Works on free SideStore (no app-group), using the app's own defaults domain
as the same-install signal.
Road-distance routing previously only fired once a fresh GPS fix arrived via
the location hook/onChange. A returning user on a cold launch waited for that
fix, and if onboarding/flag issues kept tracking from starting, distances
stayed straight-line. Now:
- refreshRoadDistancesIfNeeded() uses the last saved location when the live
fix isn't set yet, so it can run immediately.
- It's called explicitly on launch (already-onboarded branch), on foreground
activation, and on the existing location paths.
Stations past the nearest-12 cutoff silently fell back to straight-line,
which explained the remaining app-vs-Apple-Maps gaps (e.g. 3.5 straight-line
vs 5.9 road). Raise the per-pass cap to 40 and route every station within a
25 km straight-line radius (covers the 15 mi max search window) so any station
the widget/Live Activity/list can show gets a real road distance.
Also harden the new cache tests against persistent keychain state across
invocations (reset in setUp) so they pass deterministically.
The widget/Live Activity showed straight-line haversine distance (0.8 mi)
while Apple Maps routes 1.8 mi. Road routing is too heavy for the widget
execution + ~40-70/day refresh budget, so the APP now computes it:
- New RoadDistanceService (app target): for the nearest 12 stations each
pass, calls MapKit MKDirections (free, no API key, matches Apple Maps)
and caches metres keyed by station ID.
- Cache stored in KEYCHAIN (fuelboard.roadDistances) so the widget reads it
even on free SideStore accounts with no app-group container; only valid
within 600 m of the location it was built from.
- Throttled: recompute max every 10 min, or when the user moves > 400 m;
wired into the location-update hook + location onChange.
- Widget face, app station rows + Live Activity show the cached road
distance, falling back to straight-line when absent.
- 4 new cache tests (105 total).
fuelpump.circle.fill's first hierarchical style hits the PUMP, not the
circle, so the earlier darkened colour landed on the pump and the circle
stayed white (user: 'I didn't want the fuel pump darker I wanted the
white circle darker'). Rebuild the brand glyph from two explicit shapes:
a light-grey (.86) Circle badge + a bright fuel-tinted fuelpump.fill, so
circle vs pump colours are unambiguous and the badge centres cleanly with
the two-line text block.
Add a DEBUG-only -qaLiveActivity <fuel> launch hook that starts a Live
Activity with a long station name so the Lock Screen can be rendered in
the Simulator and verified by pixels (pump bright green 43,193,81; badge
grey 202,201,202).
Move FuelType.tintColor (green=unleaded #30D158, yellow=premium #FFD60A,
cyan=diesel #64D2FF) into Shared/FuelStore.swift so the app, widget, and
Live Activity all read one definition (was app-only in StationsView, so the
widget couldn't see it). Tint the Live Activity rich card pump icon and the
Dynamic Island compactLeading pump by context.state.fuel.tintColor.
Bring watch branch up to date with main (banner fade, onboarding timing,
Live Activity full-width layout). Resolved the bundled fuel dump data-refresh
conflict by taking main's newer snapshot (data_updated 2026-08-17T15:01, 8028
stations).
SwiftUI's removal transition never actually played despite .id keying — the
tip banner vanished instantly on dismiss. Replace it with explicit opacity/
offset driven by withAnimation in reflectBanner (gated by a .task(id:
activeBanner) so presentation is reliable and prompt): a dismissal now
fades out + slides up over 0.35s, and a tip→network swap crossfades. Uses
the same state-driven pattern that fixed the HermesCall ticker fades.
The banner sits in a single if-let slot; without an identity key, clearing a
tip that was covering a network/offline banner swapped content in place with
no transition (instantly vanishing). Keying the banner by its value (.id)
makes every change — tip→network or tip→nil — run the shared removal
transition, so the tip slides up and fades out when it auto-dismisses or is
tapped.
- Banner floats at the very top (over the nav/title area), never pushing the
content below and staying clear of the list/pill.
- Offline banner now fires on refresh in airplane mode / no data: the mirror
live chain bypassed the HTTP cache (+10s timeout) so an offline fetch really
fails instead of silently re-serving a cached pointer+dump as a 'success'
(which kept dataStatus .live and hid the banner).
- Onboarding permissions fire at the Continue/Allow tap BEFORE advancing, so
the system prompt appears after the page is read and never covers the next
page's animation (grant auto-advances).
Position the floating banner just below the nav bar so it no longer overlays the iOS 26 Liquid Glass back/toolbar chrome behind it — tapping retry can no longer also select the control beneath. Banner now slides up + fades on dismiss/timeout (one style for all notifications); full-rect contentShape for a solid tap target.
Extract AppBanner; render offline/connection/tip through the single statusBannerCard chrome as a ZStack top overlay so it floats over content instead of shifting layout. Tip (auto-dismiss ~3.5s) takes precedence over network state.
Tip purchase results now ride the SAME banner chrome as the network/offline
strip above the tabs instead of a hard-to-see Settings footnote. TipStore is
lifted to ContentView (the banner owner) and shared down to Settings. Each
outcome maps to an icon/tint; auto-dismisses after ~3.5 s; tap to dismiss.
Renderer refactored into a shared statusBannerCard(icon:tint:title:subtitle:
trailingIcon:action:) used by both the network strip (retry) and tips (x).
A history fetch that comes back empty BECAUSE the mirror is unreachable
(pointer probe failed) was only an in-sheet retry card — no global signal.
Now it also raises the red connection banner ('Check your internet
connection / Tap to try again'), so a network problem is visible on every
tab, not just inside the Trends sheet. A successful load clears the
banner (only when the banner is the connection banner — never clobbers
the offline-dump banner).
- TrendsView: onHistoryUnavailable/onHistoryRecovered closures fired from
load() (loadFailed -> unavailable; hasAnyData -> recovered);
-forceHistoryFailure QA hook (forces the unreachable state, skips
auto-refresh like the other force-* hooks)
- FavouritesView: closures threaded through the Trends sheet init
- ContentView: wires them to dataStatus (.live -> .connectionProblem on
failure; recovered clears only .connectionProblem)
- fuelboard-development skill: hook + wiring documented
Fix 1 — the offline banner's subtitle claimed 'pull to refresh' while that
gesture only exists on the Stations tab, yet the banner pins across ALL
tabs. Copy now says where the gesture lives: 'Pull to refresh on the
Stations tab'. The banner itself stays tappable everywhere (tap = retry),
so the retry path is never trapped on one tab.
Fix 2 — fetch-failed-with-cache case showed stale saved prices with NO
feedback (looked like a working live app). New second banner state
'Check your internet connection / Tap to try again' (red wifi.exclamation
mark, tap = retry) now appears whenever the fetch fails but a saved cache
is on screen. It clears on the next successful fetch.
- ContentView: offlineDataDate:String? -> dataStatus enum (.live /
.offlineDump(date) / .connectionProblem) driving a shared statusBanner
(icon/tint/title/subtitle); -forceConnectionProblem QA launch hook;
auto-refresh skipped under either force-* hook
- Localizable.strings: subtitle key updated, +5 new keys (incl. date-less
'Offline data' fallback + a11y labels)
- Tests unchanged (101 green) — pure view-layer change
The no-network last resort (bundled real dump) now shows a tappable banner
above the tabs — 'Offline data from 15 Aug / Pull to refresh to update
prices' — so stale snapshot data is never presented as live. Banner date
comes from the dump's own data_updated stamp (FuelStore.offlineDataLabel,
ISO 8601 with/without fractional seconds). Cleared on any successful fetch.
- BundledDumpProvider.dataUpdatedStamp (JSONSerialization, app target)
- ContentView: offlineDataDate state, offlineBanner view (tip-card styling,
orange wifi.slash + arrow.clockwise, tap = force refresh), refresh()
clears/sets it, -forceOfflineDump QA launch hook (serves the dump and
skips auto-refresh so the banner stays up for captures)
- Localizable.strings: 3 keys (banner title/subtitle/a11y)
- +3 tests: OfflineDataLabelTests (101 total)
Legend rows now show each station's average over the days shown
in brackets (pence; signed +X.Xp in vs-cheapest mode, matching the
list-row deltas). Footer under the key explains the figure per mode.
averagePence helper (nil for empty series) + 3 tests; -showTrends
becomes a permanent QA hook like -showKeySheet.
LineMark lacked a series: value, so Swift Charts merged every
station's points into one polyline — only the first station's
line was recognisable. Adding series: per station splits the
chart into N coloured lines (legend colours now match).
Sheet grows from .medium to .fraction(0.6) so the footer ('Colours
match each station's rating on the list') clears the bottom edge with
comfortable margin (verified: footer clearance +33pt). Sheet background
switched from the translucent default to a solid
systemGroupedBackground via .presentationBackground so the stations
list no longer shows through.
The two bottom cards (TOP, star) previously had no padding — their
background hugged the text. Add .padding(.horizontal, 14).padding(.vertical, 12),
matching (slightly exceeding) the RAG cards' vertical padding so the
info cards read as proper cards.
Price-rating legend now renders as five accent cards (tip-section style):
Best value (green, checkmark) / Okay (orange, equal) / Pricey (red,
exclamation) each with a RAG dot + threshold (≤1.5p / ≤4p / >4p) on the
right in the row's accent colour; TOP (blue capsule) and star (yellow)
as accent cards below a divider. Footer: 'Colours match each station's
rating on the list'. Copy split into title/blurb keys in Localizable.
Sheet chrome (medium detent, Done, info button) unchanged.
Three stacked rounded cards, one per tier, each with an accent-tinted
fuel-pump icon and price (Splash & Dash #64D2FF blue, Half a Tank
#30D158 green, Fill 'Er Up #FFD60A amber — the app's fuel palette),
name + blurb on the left, bold accent price on the right. Cards sit on
clear list rows with their own rounded fill + subtle accent tint.
Purchase flow, per-tier live prices, disabled state and footer copy
unchanged.
Splash & Dash (£0.99), Half a Tank (£2.99), Fill 'Er Up (£4.99) —
each a consumable (com.apt.fuelboard.tip099/tip299/tip499) with its own
blurb row. TipStore now loads all three products, prices fall back to
the intended storefront values until ASC products exist, and the
Transaction.updates listener acknowledges any of the three tiers.
Footer copy: 'A tip helps keep this app free and supports development.
Thank you'.
The £4.99 consumable was never finished — StoreKit kept re-delivering
it through Transaction.updates on every launch. Verified purchases now
call transaction.finish() (direct path), and a Transaction.updates
listener finishes + acknowledges purchases that complete outside the
direct call (Ask to Buy approvals, other-device purchases on the same
Apple ID). Untrusted (unverified) transactions are never finished or
delivered; only our own product ID is handled.
