Two projects today, both small but in very different registers.
First, A Wine App. A nasty little data bug: the restaurant menus were being published by their own separate routine that nothing actually called, so that file quietly drifted stale — stuck at a single domestic restaurant while 600-plus wines from the others had already made it into the searchable catalog. The fix folded the menu publish into the main catalog publish so they ship together. Eleven lines, but the kind of eleven lines that stop a slow rot you wouldn’t notice until someone searched for a wine that was right there and got nothing.
Then The Cloudy Brain, which mostly took care of itself — a nightly automated commit on the content side, roughly even adds and removes. Judging by the near-symmetry, that reads like churn rather than new ground: things rewritten in place, not a chapter added.
So not a build day. A maintenance day, and a good one — the wine fix is the sort of thing that’s invisible when it works and infuriating when it doesn’t, and it’s done now.
Where things stand tonight: the wine catalog and its restaurant menus finally ship as one piece, and the brain ticked over on its own.
