The small-widget skeleton (fresh widget stranded on the placeholder while
the medium populated in the gallery) traced to the small intent's default
configuration resolution: FavouriteFuelQuery/WidgetFavouriteQuery
defaultResult() read keychain in the gallery-preview/fresh-add path,
failing the whole default config and leaving no timeline. Configured
widgets bypassed defaultResult (stored values → lenient entities) — the
exact favourites-works/cheapest-closest-doesn't split.
- Remove defaultResult() from both queries: fresh configs now resolve
from the static @Parameter(default:) values through lenient
entities(for:) with ZERO storage reads.
- WidgetFavouriteQuery.entities(for:) skips the keychain name lookup for
id-only (empty station) values.
- Auto-populate moves to makeEntry: empty pinned favourite → first
favourite of the fuel (same rendered result as the old sheet default).
- Sheet keeps the dependent picker via suggestedEntities() + dependency;
fresh widgets show static defaults until picked (approved tradeoff).
Widget distance menu: the Distance picker only makes sense for
Cheapest ordering. It was hidden for Favourites but Closest still
showed it (regressed when the per-widget Distance picker was added).
parameterSummary now nests When clauses: Distance visible for
Cheapest only; Closest and Favourites hide it.
Notifications: three compounding defects kept real geofence alerts
from ever firing while the app was suspended:
1. Always permission was never properly requested. requestPermissions
fired WhenInUse and Always back-to-back; iOS ignores the second
call while the first prompt is pending, leaving the app stuck on
WhenInUse — and region entries are never delivered in the
background. Added locationManagerDidChangeAuthorization to
ProximityMonitor: escalate WhenInUse -> Always, and re-register
geofences on grant (regions registered under WhenInUse-only won't
deliver in the background).
2. The 18-region window was frozen in the background. Re-registration
lived in SwiftUI .onChange(of: locationManager.current), which
never runs while suspended. Added a delegate hook
(LocationManager.onLocationUpdate) fired from didUpdateLocations on
every fix including background significant-change wake-ups; the app
wires it to re-register geofences around the new position.
3. Region-registration failures were invisible. monitoringDidFailFor
was never implemented, so a failed startMonitoring (region budget,
auth, radius) silently stopped alerts. Now surfaced as
monitor.lastRegionError and shown in Settings -> Debug; cleared on
the next successful registration.
- New Sort by value 'Favourites' in Edit Widget (per-widget config).
- ParameterSummary hides the Distance picker when Favourites is selected
(favourites are not radius-bound).
- Favourites mode reads keychain favourites (shared access group works on
SideStore free even without App Groups), filters to the widget's fuel,
refreshes prices from a focused relay fetch when in range, and ranks
cheapest-first with distance tiebreak. Not radius-filtered.
- App now re-saves refreshed favourites to keychain after every fetch so
the widget shows current prices instead of star-time snapshots.
- Empty state + headings adapt to favourites mode. 35 tests pass.
- New Distance picker in Edit Widget (5/10/15 miles), independent of the
app's distance filter; used for both the relay fetch radius and the
strict in-widget filter.
- Brand text is now title-cased via sanitizedStationTitle (relay sends
all-caps brands like SHELL/TESCO/MORRISONS).
- Prices now show as £1.399 (monospaced) matching the app, instead of
139.9p.
- Directions deep-link (mapsDirectionsURL) already per-row on medium and
whole-widget on small; unchanged. 35 tests pass.
FuelPriceWidget now uses AppIntentConfiguration with a per-widget
FuelBoardWidgetConfigurationIntent (fuel + sort). Each widget placed on
the home screen carries its OWN fuel type (Unleaded/Premium/Diesel) and
ordering (Cheapest/Closest), edited by long-press -> Edit Widget —
independent of the app's selection, so multiple widgets can show
different data side by side. Widget no longer reads the app's selected
fuel. 35 tests pass.
