Distance confidence
- Every distance surface takes the figure AND its "Approx." marker from one
FuelStore.stationDistanceDisplay call (station rows, detail sheet, widget,
Live Activity, watch, Siri), so a surface can never mark one figure approximate
while showing a routed one. Radius filters and Closest ordering test that same
displayed distance, so no row can read a distance outside the radius that
filtered it (the reported "14.6 mi inside a 10-mile list").
Accurate distances (Settings -> Distances, default off)
- Off: the browse layer serves the straight line, marked Approx., for every row,
so two installs agree to the metre and the app makes no route requests at all.
- On: routed distances for the whole search area, unmarked, served only from a
COMPLETE set anchored within 600 m — a partial fill reverts every row at once
rather than mixing road and straight-line bases.
- Best Value maths sits deliberately outside the toggle: it keeps using measured
road routes and its own confidence marking, so money figures never move with
the switch.
- Fills run only while the toggle is on and the app is frontmost; capacity raised
to 600 stations per pass; completeness tolerates pins Apple Maps has no route
for, which otherwise left an area permanently incomplete and the whole list
stuck on estimates.
Performance (the reported slowdown switching to Closest / launching with it)
- FuelStore.accurateDistancesEnabled was a UserDefaults(suiteName:) read per
call: a synchronous cfprefsd round-trip measured at ~1.9 us, ~200k calls per
Closest sort. Memoised, with the setter keeping it in step.
- Both keyed sorts decorate their keys — one distance per station, carried as an
index instead of copying whole stations into the decorated array — and the
comparison baseline plus per-station journeys now come from ONE pass instead of
two full scans per tab. The Stations tab also reuses its single sorted list for
the count and the TOP badge instead of sorting the country three times.
- Measured on iPhone SE (7,914-station Closest pool): sort 36.6 ms -> 17.1 ms per
list, Cheapest 6 ms, Best Value 11 ms.
- DEBUG probes: FB_PERF list timing, FB_PERF_BENCH toggle-read benchmark, and
FB_DIST_FOCUS now reports the served value, marker and mode (and re-prints when
a fill lands). FB_ACCURATE_DISTANCES / FB_SORT_MODE env forms for devices, where
devicectl eats a leading-dash argument.
Tests: 198, 0 failures. Device and simulator Debug builds green.
- AppIconPreview now byte-identical to the real AppIcon.png (the preview
had been pointing at an older Design/ export); added AppIconPreviewDark
from AppIcon-dark.png so the mock shows the correct icon per appearance
- Re-captured 9-widgets-dark + 10-widgets-light
- 95/95 tests green; Release IPA rebuilt + re-served
- PreviewWallpaper image set: the actual iPhone wallpaper extracted from the
iOS 26.3 sim runtime (ActionButtonSelector Display.ca, 1320x2870 native
res, JPEG ~180 KB) — replaces the gradient backdrop in the widget mock
- -seedFavourite <substring> launch hook: pins the first matching station
for Unleaded via the normal keychain+app-group save path, so the
Favourites tab can be captured populated (Ring Road Service Station,
129.9, 59.1 mi, TOP badge)
- Re-captured 2-favourites (light), 6-favourites-dark, 9-widgets-dark,
10-widgets-light with real data
- 95/95 tests green; Release IPA rebuilt + re-served
- Small widget card sized to actual system-small content (158×158pt + padding)
instead of filling available width; medium keeps 338×158pt
- Wallpaper now mimics the iOS default (dark navy→black in dark mode,
soft blue-grey in light) via colorScheme-adaptive gradient
- Added 10-widgets-light.png; re-captured 9-widgets-dark.png with data
- 95/95 tests green; Release IPA rebuilt + re-served
- Move widget entry view into Shared/FuelPriceWidgetViews.swift (FuelPriceWidgetContent,
FuelPriceWidgetEntryData) so the app can render the REAL widget faces; widget
extension now wraps it (FuelPriceEntry.data) — one source of truth for the face
- WidgetMockScreen (-widgets launch arg): app icon + small + medium widget previews
for App Store captures; AppIconPreview image set (1024 drip master)
- AppStoreScreenshots: 5-8 dark-mode tab captures with real Halifax data, 9 widgets
- 95/95 tests green; Release IPA rebuilt + re-served
