The rest of Settings

The backfill (#696)

A row-by-row check on 18 September found Settings had dropped 8 of its features and half-drawn 38 more. Most were what a control says while it works and when it fails, and what a list shows before it has anything in it. Four were whole pieces: the transcriber’s own test, loading a pack from a web address, reputation levels, and scenes paired with Foundry maps. All of them are drawn now, and Discord, which lane 2 drew only working, is finished at the end.

Decided while drawing, and would undo if you disagree

• Keeping audio for good is offered only where the instance sets no cap, which is where D24’s cap and CA-073’s fourth mode meet.
• A test appears only where there is something of the campaign’s own to test. The summariser’s goes while it is the instance’s, and the transcriber gains one when it is yours.
• Shortening retention asks only when something would go, and the button that destroys transcripts is now the destructive colour. Audio, which has a bin behind it, keeps the ordinary one.
• “Who can look things up in it” stays two choices, not the code’s three. At campaign scope “Default” is “GM only”, so a third would be a second name for one of the other two.
• The hosted-slot rule (IS-195) is told to both sides without telling either about the other’s plan. Dana hears that a slot may be needed; Priya hears whether she has one.
• Reputation starts from Pathfinder’s seven levels, renamed, added to or cut down per campaign.

The coverage check

147 placements, none missing. 124 drawn, 2 replaced by a decision, 18 belonging to other surfaces, 2 deferred as speculative, and 1 behaviour with nothing to see. Before the backfill: 8 missing and 38 half-drawn of 145. The check is coverage/lane2b.py beside the catalogue.

Faults the backfill found

1. General still promised the table’s time with the reader’s beneath it — the thing D17 replaced — here and in lane 2’s drawing of the same section.
2. General said every member could read it, and the Settings index marked it “everyone reads”; D45 moved that reading to This week and left Settings the GM’s.
3. No timezone was said to stop anything being scheduled, while the session form falls back to the scheduler’s own zone (CA-132).
4. Handing ownership on was said to cost the old owner the export, which is a GM’s to do, not an owner’s.
5. The ownership offer here went to Tomás and ran out on the 24th, while the banner for the same offer (SH-8) names Priya and the 23rd.
6. Shortening transcripts, which cannot be undone, was the same blue as Save.
7. Found by rendering: stills of one section’s content drew its heading at page size; the audio confirmation named sessions too recent to be affected; the Wiki section still called itself “one setting” above a second; tall and short stills shared rows in General; and Discord’s form ran into its lead.

Nothing left open

D21 is settled: the Contents opens into the nine, with the back bar kept for the phone, where there is no rail on screen to go back through. Each section keeps its own address either way — that part was never really a choice, because SH-036's unsaved-changes prompt only fires on a change of path, and nine sections as tabs of one page would lose an edit with the guard sitting right there.

Settled while drawing, and why

• Ownership is one section, not two things in a bad marriage (D26). Every GM control was already on Members, on the row of the person it affects. Moving them into a cupboard would have been worse, so the section lost the half of its name it never had.
• Invites split (D23). Getting a link stays on Members — CA-225's compact mode already exists for it. Creating, revoking and limiting them lives in Settings. Without this, CAMP-8's primary Invite players button pointed at a page most of the campaign cannot open.
• Retention names two numbers (D24). The instance's default, and the cap it will not let a campaign pass. Today an override is unbounded above and the "default" is a default in name only.
• The AI panel says it is switched off rather than disappearing (D25).
• Two confirmation tiers on invite links, where today there are one and a half. The catalogue flags this itself: Revoke asks and Remove does not, though both take a link away. Under D12 the difference is not which is scarier but whether anyone is holding the link — so revoking a live one states its consequence, and removing a dead one just goes, with an undo.
• A pack you cannot act on does not get the controls. "Turn off" on a pack that would not load, and "Export" on one still reading, were both drawn and then would have been refused. They are absent instead.
• A pack with no licence is no longer a dead end (IS-315, added in review). It was locking a group out of exporting the one pack they certainly own — the house rules they wrote themselves. The block now carries the way past it, and a licence a GM sets is marked as theirs rather than the file’s.
• Destructive buttons are no longer the same blue as Save. Lane 2 drew "Erase the recordings" as a primary button, which is the colour the app uses for yes, do the ordinary thing. There is now a .btn--danger, borrowing the amber .modal__danger already uses. Lane 2's erase modal should get it too — say the word and I will change it there.

What rendering it caught that reading the code did not

Six, this time. The first two are the ones that matter.

1. The phone Contents sheet was not in the picture at all. The caption promised the sheet open with the sub-list in it; the still showed an ordinary page, because the sheet ships hidden and is opened by a tap a screenshot does not make. Unhiding it revealed a second fault behind the first — the sheet is positioned against the app, so on a page drawn at its natural height the panel landed at the foot of a two-thousand-pixel document instead of over the screen.
2. Two desktop pages side by side wrap their app bar at a width no desktop has. Exactly the fault lane 1 found and I reintroduced: "Quest Board" broke across two lines in a 740px column. Full-width, one per row.
3. The Contents sub-list was headed "Settings", one line under the row that says "Settings". The wiki needs that heading because its parent row is a group; this one repeated itself.
4. Every content pack said "Pathfinder 2e · 214 creatures". The string was written with an HTML entity and then escaped, so the entity became the text. Invisible in the source and unmissable in a picture.
5. The transcripts row had an empty months box beside a "keep them" that was already chosen, which reads as a field somebody forgot to fill in rather than one that does not apply.
6. A pack that would not load had a lone em dash where its licence would go, and offered Turn off and Export on a pack with nothing in it.

Two things in the code, found while scoping

And one correction to lane 2

General was drawn at about thirteen of its eighteen rows and captioned as whole. The registry-match nudge, the blank-timezone warning and the entire stat-conversion panel — which D5 explicitly put in Settings → General — were all missing. They are drawn at the end of this page. Worth saying because the caption is what made it look settled, and the same caption habit is what lane 1 caught me at.
