The first draft placed every band at a fixed pixel offset and let the
arc absorb whatever height was left. In a 1x2 cell on this monitor that
is 794px of arc: a cathedral arch under a fifth of a card of content,
nothing like the mockup it was shaped after.
Three changes, all visible in an offscreen render of the real widget:
- Type sizes and band offsets scale with the rect, within clamps, so the
proportions hold on the 1920 monitor as well as this one.
- The arc gets a bounded band that follows the stats instead of being
pinned to the bottom, so no dead strip opens between them.
- The layout gives the widget a 1x1 cell. Its content is about 350px
tall and a full-height cell cannot be filled without inventing data.
Found before restarting conky by loading conky's own cairo bindings
standalone and rendering the widget to a PNG, which is a far tighter
loop than install, restart, switch workspace, screenshot.

Draws current conditions plus a sunrise-to-sunset arc in widgets/weather.lua,
placed at col 2 in dashboard.lua's layout. Schedules the periodic fetch via
execi in conky.conf.in, tying refresh to conky's own lifecycle.
The no-data env-file probe now closes its handle explicitly: the branch reruns
every draw until a fetch succeeds, so an unclosed io.open there would leak one
handle per frame.

The date rendered as "16 /SEP /2026", each slash jammed against the
next glyph. measure() returns the ink width, which ignores leading and
trailing spaces because a space carries no ink, and clock.lua was using
it to advance a cursor. Measured: " / " covers 6px of ink but advances
14px, so every separator lost 8px.
Splits the two uses that were conflated in one function. measure() is
for centring and right-aligning, where ink width is what you want;
advance() returns x_advance and is for laying out runs of text left to
right. The clock's date now uses advance() and reads "16 / SEP / 2026"
with even gaps, verified by screenshot.
Worth the split rather than changing measure() in place: text_right is
a correct caller of the ink width, so one function cannot serve both
and silently returning the advance would have broken alignment
instead.

Hour stacked over minute in Noto Sans Black, weekday in caps, date
slashed, following idea2.png. Colours are the palette's.
Numeral size derives from the cell rather than a constant, so the same
widget fills its cell on either monitor. The slashes take the dimmer
label colour so the numerals read first.
