# Mirage Weather Cards Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Replace the OpenWeatherMap `weather` card with five Open-Meteo cards (`now`, `hourly`, `week`, `details`, `sky`) adapted from Conky-Mirage and drawn in this repo's design language.
**Architecture:** `bin/weather-fetch.sh` pulls Open-Meteo's forecast and air-quality APIs and flattens them with jq into a tab-separated cache, `~/.cache/udt/weather.txt`. `lib/weather.lua` parses that cache into a table and holds pure helpers (WMO glyphs, moon phase, thresholds). Each card reads the cache through it, draws its header and rows with a new shared `card.standard()`, and puts its Mirage-derived graphic in the space left over.
**Tech Stack:** Lua 5.4 with conky's cairo bindings, bash, curl, jq. Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-10-18-mirage-weather-cards-design.md`.
**Conventions for every task:**
- Run from the repo root.
- Full test command: `lua test/test_data.lua && lua test/test_layout.lua && lua test/test_weather.lua`
- Commits are GPG-signed (global config does it; never disable it). End every commit message with the line `Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>`.
- No em dashes in code, comments, docs or commit messages.
- Nothing raises: a Lua error in conky is a blank screen. Guard types, return nil or `'--'`.
- No real location anywhere committed. Fixtures use epochs and numbers only.
---

| `widgets/weather.lua` | delete | Replaced by `now` and `sky` |
| `dashboard.lua` | modify | Layout rows for the five cards |
| `README.md`, `DESIGN.md` | modify | Docs and Mirage credit |
---
### Task 1: Parser and helpers in `lib/weather.lua`
**Files:**
- Create: `test/fixtures/weather.txt`
- Delete: `test/fixtures/weather.json`, `test/fixtures/weather_truncated.json`
- Rewrite: `test/test_weather.lua`
- Rewrite: `lib/weather.lua`
- [ ] **Step 1: Create the fixture**
Real tabs matter, so write it with printf rather than an editor:
```bash
printf '%s\n' \
$'units\tmetric' \
$'current\t1792325700\t13.2\t11.5\t3\t1\t77\t10.2\t72' \
$'sun\t1792301818\t1792339510' \
$'air\t37' \
$'hour\t1792324800\t13.1\t3\t0\t1\t1.15' \
$'hour\t1792328400\t13.4\t61\t40\t1\tnull' \
$'hour\t1792332000\tnull\t3\t0\t0\t0.95' \
$'day\t1792274400\t3\t8.1\t14.6\t10' \
$'day\t1792360800\t61\t7.4\t12.0\t80' \
> test/fixtures/weather.txt
git rm -q test/fixtures/weather.json test/fixtures/weather_truncated.json
```
The `null` fields are deliberate: Open-Meteo emits `null` for a missing value and jq prints it as the word.
- [ ] **Step 2: Write the failing test**
Replace all of `test/test_weather.lua` with:
```lua
-- Checks for lib/weather.lua.
-- Run from the repo root: lua test/test_weather.lua
-- The domain tables are what silently misreport when a boundary is off by one,
-- so every range boundary gets an assertion. The cards themselves are verified
-- by rendering them.

- [ ] **Step 3: Run test to verify it fails**
Run: `lua test/test_weather.lua`
Expected: FAIL, an assertion error on the first new-API call (e.g. `code 1 is few clouds`, or `attempt to call a nil value (field 'describe')`).
- [ ] **Step 4: Write the implementation**
Replace all of `lib/weather.lua` with:
```lua
-- Open-Meteo domain knowledge and cache parsing.
--
-- Separate from lib/data.lua: that reads /proc and /sys, this reads the cache
-- bin/weather-fetch.sh flattens Open-Meteo's responses into. Same testable
-- shape though, every function takes a string or numbers and returns a value,
-- so the tests need no filesystem and no network.
--
-- The forecast cards built on this (hourly, week, details, sky) are adapted
-- from the Conky-Mirage theme by alexsson-xexpanderx:
-- https://github.com/alexsson-xexpanderx/Conky-themes/tree/master/Conky-Mirage
--
-- Nothing here raises. A Lua error in this project is a blank screen, so every
-- parse path returns nil and lets the widget draw its "no data" state.

Note on `is_day = n(6) ~= 0`: a missing field gives `nil ~= 0`, which is `true`, so unknown draws the day face, matching the rest of the module.
- [ ] **Step 5: Run test to verify it passes**
Run: `lua test/test_weather.lua`
Expected: `test_weather: all assertions passed`
If `weather.deg(-0.4)` fails with `-0°`: `round(-0.4)` is `math.floor(0.1)` = `0` (integer), so it should pass; if Lua returns float `-0.0`, the `r == 0` fold handles it.
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
`widgets/weather.lua` still requires the old API and will draw wrongly until Task 4 deletes it. That is acceptable for one commit in the middle of this plan; do not restart conky until Task 4.
```bash
git add lib/weather.lua test/test_weather.lua test/fixtures/weather.txt
git commit -m "feat(weather): parse an Open-Meteo cache instead of OWM JSON
WMO codes to glyphs and words, moon phase, UV and AQI roles, and a
parser for the tab-separated cache the fetcher will write. Groundwork
for the Mirage-derived forecast cards.

### Task 2: Open-Meteo fetcher
**Files:**
- Rewrite: `bin/weather-fetch.sh`
- Rewrite: `weather.env.example`

Replace all of `bin/weather-fetch.sh` with (keep it executable):
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Fetch the forecast from Open-Meteo into a cache file. Run from conky's
# ${texeci}, so it prints nothing on success and never blocks the dashboard:

# Open-Meteo needs no key. The location is a city name from weather.env,
# geocoded once and cached, so no coordinates live in this repository.

# Exits non-zero with a message on stderr when it cannot fetch, and leaves any
# existing cache untouched rather than replacing good data with an error.

- [ ] **Step 2: Rewrite the env example**
Replace all of `weather.env.example` with:
```
# Copy to ~/.config/udt/weather.env and fill in. That path is outside this
# repo on purpose: a location is personal data, and anything committed is
# potentially public. chmod 600 it.
#
# The forecast comes from Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com), which needs no
# key. CITY is geocoded once through Open-Meteo's geocoding API; COUNTRY is the
# two-letter ISO code that picks the right place among same-named ones.
# UNITS is metric (C, km/h) or imperial (F, mph).
CITY=Example City
COUNTRY=XX
UNITS=metric
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Run the fetcher against the live API**
The user's `~/.config/udt/weather.env` already has `CITY`/`COUNTRY`/`UNITS` from the OWM setup; its `KEY` line is now ignored.
Run: `bash -n bin/weather-fetch.sh && ./bin/weather-fetch.sh; echo "exit: $?"; wc -l ~/.cache/udt/weather.txt; cut -f1 ~/.cache/udt/weather.txt | sort | uniq -c`
Expected: `exit: 0`, `35` lines, and counts `7 day`, `24 hour`, `1 air`, `1 current`, `1 sun`, `1 units`. Do not paste the file contents or `weather-loc` anywhere committed: they locate the user.
- [ ] **Step 4: Check the failure paths keep the cache**
Run: `cp ~/.cache/udt/weather.txt /tmp/claude-wx.bak; WEATHER_ENV=/nonexistent ./bin/weather-fetch.sh; echo "exit: $?"; cmp ~/.cache/udt/weather.txt /tmp/claude-wx.bak && echo unchanged; rm /tmp/claude-wx.bak`
Expected: `weather-fetch: no /nonexistent (copy weather.env.example)`, `exit: 1`, `unchanged`.
- [ ] **Step 5: Check the parser reads the live cache**
Run: `lua -e "package.path='./?.lua;'..package.path; local w=require('lib.weather'); local f=io.open(w.CACHE); local t=w.parse(f:read('a')); f:close(); print(t and (#t.hours..' hours '..#t.days..' days aqi '..tostring(t.air and t.air.aqi)) or 'PARSE FAILED')"`
Expected: `24 hours 7 days aqi <a number>`
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add bin/weather-fetch.sh weather.env.example
git commit -m "feat(weather): fetch from Open-Meteo, no API key
Forecast and air quality from Open-Meteo, flattened by jq into the
tab-separated cache lib/weather.lua parses. The city is geocoded once
and cached; a failed air-quality call drops one line, not the cache.

### Task 3: Card primitives and glyph check
**Files:**
- Modify: `lib/card.lua` (the `M.ICON` table near the end, plus two new functions after `M.text_right`)
- [ ] **Step 1: Add the title glyphs**
In `lib/card.lua`, replace the `M.ICON` table with:
```lua
M.ICON = {
breaktimer = '\u{F13AB}', -- timer
calendar = '\u{F0E17}', -- calendar-month
immich = '\u{F02F9}', -- image-multiple
hourly = '\u{F0150}', -- clock-outline
week = '\u{F0A33}', -- calendar-week
details = '\u{F059D}', -- weather-windy
sky = '\u{F0594}', -- weather-night
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add `text_centre` after `M.text_right`**
```lua
-- Centred text: x is the CENTRE.
function M.text_centre(cr, x, y, s)
local w = M.measure(cr, s)
M.text(cr, x - w / 2, y, s)
end
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Add `standard` after `M.fit_unit`**
```lua
-- The DESIGN.md card in one call: the title top-left, the big value top-right,
-- then label-left / value-right rows, all from one fluid base size S.
--
-- spec.icon, spec.title the title run, as M.title draws it
-- spec.big the big value; nil drops it (a band carries the value)
-- spec.big_color defaults to colors.body
-- spec.big_font defaults to FONT_HEAVY; FONT_MONO for a glyph
-- spec.rows { {label, value, color}, ... }, color defaults to colors.value
-- spec.share fraction of inner.h the header and rows may use (default 1)
--
-- Returns the y where the drawn content ends and S, so a card can put its
-- variable band in what is left and size the band's type off the same S.
-- The proportions are the breaktimer card's, which this generalises.
function M.standard(cr, inner, colors, spec)
local LABEL_F, BIG_F, ROW_F = 0.30, 1.0, 0.32
local rows = spec.rows or {}
local big_font = spec.big_font or M.FONT_HEAVY
local head = { { M.title_str(spec.icon, spec.title), M.FONT_MONO, LABEL_F } }
if spec.big then head[2] = { spec.big, big_font, BIG_F } end
local groups = { head }
for _, r in ipairs(rows) do
groups[#groups + 1] = { { r[1], M.FONT_MONO, ROW_F },
{ tostring(r[2]), M.FONT_MONO, ROW_F } }
end
-- Height in units of S: the header line, the gap under it, a step per row.
local head_f = spec.big and BIG_F or LABEL_F * 1.2
local budget = inner.h * (spec.share or 1)
local S = clamp(math.min(budget * 0.94 / (head_f + 0.5 + #rows * 0.66),
M.fit_unit(cr, inner.w * 0.96, groups, 100)), 10, 72)
local label_size, row_size = S * LABEL_F, S * ROW_F
if spec.big then
M.font(cr, big_font, S * BIG_F, false)
M.rgba(cr, spec.big_color or colors.body)
M.text_right(cr, inner.x + inner.w, inner.y + S * BIG_F, spec.big)
end
M.font(cr, M.FONT_MONO, label_size, false)
M.title(cr, inner.x, inner.y + label_size, spec.icon, spec.title, colors)
local step = row_size * 2.0
local y = inner.y + S * head_f + row_size * 1.6
local last = inner.y + S * head_f
M.font(cr, M.FONT_MONO, row_size, false)
for _, r in ipairs(rows) do
if y > inner.y + inner.h then break end
M.rgba(cr, colors.label)
M.text(cr, inner.x, y, r[1])
M.rgba(cr, r[3] or colors.value)
M.text_right(cr, inner.x + inner.w, y, tostring(r[2]))
last = y
y = y + step
end
return last + row_size * 0.8, S
end
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Render a glyph sheet and look at it**
Write `/tmp/claude-glyphs.lua` (scratch, never committed):
```lua
package.cpath = '/usr/lib64/conky/lib?.so;' .. package.cpath
package.path = './?.lua;' .. package.path
require 'cairo'
local card = require 'lib.card'
local weather = require 'lib.weather'
local items = {}
for k, v in pairs(card.ICON) do items[#items + 1] = { 'card.' .. k, v } end
for k, v in pairs(weather.ICON) do items[#items + 1] = { k, v } end
for i = 0, 27 do items[#items + 1] = { 'moon ' .. i, utf8.char(0xE38D + i) } end
table.sort(items, function(a, b) return a[1] < b[1] end)
local s = cairo_image_surface_create(CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, 900, 40 * #items // 3 + 60)
local cr = cairo_create(s)
cairo_set_source_rgb(cr, 0.1, 0.1, 0.12); cairo_paint(cr)
for i, it in ipairs(items) do
local x, y = ((i - 1) % 3) * 300 + 10, ((i - 1) // 3) * 40 + 36
card.font(cr, card.FONT_MONO, 28, false); cairo_set_source_rgb(cr, 1, 1, 1)
card.text(cr, x, y, it[2])
card.font(cr, card.FONT_MONO, 14, false); cairo_set_source_rgb(cr, 0.7, 0.7, 0.7)
card.text(cr, x + 44, y - 6, it[1])
end
cairo_surface_write_to_png(s, '/tmp/claude-glyphs.png')
```
Run: `lua /tmp/claude-glyphs.lua` then open `/tmp/claude-glyphs.png` with the Read tool.
Expected: every glyph drawn and matching its name; moon 0 is a dark disc, moon 14 a full disc, phases progress in between. If any title glyph is wrong or blank, pick a neighbour from the Nerd Font cheat sheet (`nf-md-*`), update the codepoint, rerender. Do not commit until all look right.
- [ ] **Step 5: Run the suite**
Run: `lua test/test_data.lua && lua test/test_layout.lua && lua test/test_weather.lua`
Expected: three `all assertions passed` lines (test_layout prints its own pass line).
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add lib/card.lua
git commit -m "feat(card): standard header-and-rows helper, centred text, forecast glyphs
card.standard() draws the DESIGN.md card (title left, big value right,
label/value rows) from one fluid size and returns where it stopped, so
the forecast cards share it instead of copying breaktimer's layout five
times.

big = weather.deg(c.temp), rows = rows, share = 0.85,
})
-- The condition in words, in the prose face, in what the rows left.
local size = S * 0.36
if y + size * 1.4 <= inner.y + inner.h then
card.font(cr, card.FONT_UI, size, false)
card.rgba(cr, colors.body)
card.text(cr, inner.x, y + size * 1.4, weather.describe(c.code))
end
end
return M
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Swap the layout row and delete the old card**
In `dashboard.lua`, change:
```lua
{ widget = 'weather', col = 1, row = 7, w = 3, h = 5 },
```
to:
```lua
{ widget = 'now', col = 1, row = 7, w = 3, h = 5 },
```
Then: `git rm -q widgets/weather.lua`
- [ ] **Step 3: Render offscreen and look**
Run: `lua test/render.lua now 16 12 3 5 /tmp/claude-now.png`
Expected: `now at 3x5 on a 16x12 grid -> /tmp/claude-now.png`. Open it with Read: condition glyph and `WEATHER` top-left, big temperature top-right, four label/value rows, description under them, nothing overlapping or clipped.
Also check the no-data face: `XDG_CACHE_HOME=/nonexistent lua test/render.lua now 16 12 3 5 /tmp/claude-now-empty.png` and open it: chrome with `WEATHER`, `no weather data`, `bin/weather-fetch.sh`.
- [ ] **Step 4: Suite, then commit**
Run: `lua test/test_data.lua && lua test/test_layout.lua && lua test/test_weather.lua`
Expected: all pass.
```bash
git add widgets/now.lua dashboard.lua

end
return M
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Render and look**
Run: `lua test/render.lua hourly 16 12 7 3 /tmp/claude-hourly.png`, open it.
Expected: header line, then 8 labelled columns (glyph, temperature, hour), a continuous highlight curve, faint bars where rain is forecast, nothing clipped. Also render at `5 3` and `7 2` and check the curve drops out cleanly rather than overlapping when the band is too short.
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

### Task 6: `week` card
**Files:**
- Create: `widgets/week.lua`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the widget**
```lua
-- Week: seven days of glyph and min-to-max range bar.
--
-- Adapted from the Conky-Mirage theme's week tile by alexsson-xexpanderx
-- (see lib/weather.lua). Each bar sits on the week's overall min..max scale,
-- so a warm day reads as a bar further right, not just a longer one.
local card = require 'lib.card'
local data = require 'lib.data'
local weather = require 'lib.weather'

local gx, minx = x + w * 0.20, x + w * 0.42
local bx0, bx1 = x + w * 0.46, x + w * 0.84
local function bx(t) return bx0 + (bx1 - bx0) * (t - lo) / span end
cairo_set_line_cap(cr, CAIRO_LINE_CAP_ROUND)

draw_days(cr, inner.x, y, inner.w, inner.y + inner.h - y, colors, w.days, S)
end
return M
```
`cairo_set_line_cap` is reset to BUTT at the end because cairo state is shared with every card drawn after this one.
- [ ] **Step 2: Render and look**
Run: `lua test/render.lua week 16 12 3.5 9 /tmp/claude-week.png`, open it.
Expected: title, then 7 evenly spaced rows `TODAY`, weekday names, glyphs, min right-aligned before the bar, bars offset by temperature, max at the right edge. Columns do not collide. Also render at `3 5`.
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

### Task 7: `details` card
**Files:**
- Create: `widgets/details.lua`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the widget**
```lua
-- Details: wind, humidity, UV and air quality, over a wind compass.

end
return M
```
`colors[nil]` is a plain table read of a nil key, which returns nil without raising, so a missing role falls back to `colors.value` inside `card.standard`.
- [ ] **Step 2: Render and look**
Run: `lua test/render.lua details 16 12 3.5 4.5 /tmp/claude-details.png`, open it.
Expected: title, four rows with UV and AQI in a threshold colour, compass circle with N/E/S/W and a needle below. Also render at `2 3` and confirm the compass drops out rather than overlapping the rows.
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add widgets/details.lua
git commit -m "feat(details): wind, humidity, UV and AQI card adapted from Conky-Mirage
UV and the European AQI carry the ok/warning/critical roles, which puts
critical back on the board.

### Task 8: `sky` card
**Files:**
- Create: `widgets/sky.lua`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the widget**
```lua
-- Sky: sunrise, sunset, day length and the moon, over the daylight arc.
--
-- Adapted from the Conky-Mirage theme's sky tile by alexsson-xexpanderx

local card = require 'lib.card'
local data = require 'lib.data'
local weather = require 'lib.weather'
local M = {}
-- The dot is placed by evaluating the curve at t rather than by computing a

local p0 = { x0, base }
local c1 = { x0 + (x1 - x0) * 0.22, top - h * 0.14 }
local c2 = { x1 - (x1 - x0) * 0.22, top - h * 0.14 }

`parse()` guarantees `w.sun.rise` and `w.sun.set` are numbers, so the `os.date` and subtraction calls are safe.
- [ ] **Step 2: Render and look**
Run: `lua test/render.lua sky 16 12 3.5 4.5 /tmp/claude-sky.png`, open it.
Expected: `SKY` title with a moon glyph big at the right in the heading colour, four rows, the arc pinned to the bottom with the dot on it (dim at night). Also render at `2 3`: the arc drops out below 50px.
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

### Task 9: Layout and live check
**Files:**
- Modify: `dashboard.lua` (the `layout` table)
- [ ] **Step 1: Add the forecast rows**
In `dashboard.lua`, add these entries at the end of the `layout` table, after the `immich` row:
```lua
-- The forecast set, in the right side the quickshell moves left open.
{ widget = 'hourly', col = 10, row = 1, w = 7, h = 3 },
{ widget = 'week', col = 10, row = 4, w = 3.5, h = 9 },
{ widget = 'details', col = 13.5, row = 4, w = 3.5, h = 4.5 },
{ widget = 'sky', col = 13.5, row = 8.5, w = 3.5, h = 4.5 },
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Suite**
Run: `lua test/test_data.lua && lua test/test_layout.lua && lua test/test_weather.lua`
Expected: all pass.
- [ ] **Step 3: Restart and look at the live board**
Run: `./restart.sh`
Then show the `dash` special workspace and screenshot it (`grim` needs the active workspace; see the Hyprland memory note), and open the screenshot with Read. Check: no card overlaps another, type size reads consistently beside the clock and calendar, every card shows data (not its notice), no Lua error overlay. The screenshot shows calendar titles and photos: never commit or share it.
If the user wants positions changed, edit only the four rows above and `./restart.sh` again (a `dashboard.lua` edit alone needs no restart, but a widget edit does).
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add dashboard.lua
git commit -m "feat(layout): place the hourly, week, details and sky cards
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>"

### Task 10: Docs
**Files:**
- Modify: `README.md`, `DESIGN.md`
- [ ] **Step 1: Rewrite README's Weather section**
Replace everything from `## Weather` up to (not including) `## System widgets` with:
```markdown
## Weather
Five cards cover the weather: `now` (current conditions), `hourly` (the next
24 hours), `week` (seven days), `details` (wind, humidity, UV, air quality) and
`sky` (sun, moon and the daylight arc). The forecast cards are adapted from
[Conky-Mirage](https://github.com/alexsson-xexpanderx/Conky-themes/tree/master/Conky-Mirage)
by alexsson-xexpanderx, redrawn in this dashboard's palette, glyphs and fonts.
Data comes from [Open-Meteo](https://open-meteo.com), which needs no key. Set
the location:
cp weather.env.example ~/.config/udt/weather.env
chmod 600 ~/.config/udt/weather.env
That path is outside the repo because a location is personal data, and
anything committed is potentially public. `weather.env` is gitignored here as a
second line of defence. `CITY` is geocoded once through Open-Meteo and the
result cached in `~/.cache/udt/weather-loc`; changing `CITY` or `COUNTRY`
re-geocodes on the next fetch.
Fetching is scheduled by conky itself: `conky.text` carries
`${texeci 900 ~/.config/conky/bin/weather-fetch.sh}`, so the cache refreshes
every 15 minutes while the dashboard runs and never while it does not. The
cards only ever read `~/.cache/udt/weather.txt`; they make no network call and
cannot block the draw. Until the first fetch lands, each card draws its own
chrome with `no weather data` rather than vanishing.
To check the fetch by hand:
./bin/weather-fetch.sh; echo "exit: $?"
It prints nothing and exits 0 on success. On failure it says why on stderr and
leaves any existing cache alone. A failed air-quality call is not a failure:
the AQI row reads `--` and everything else updates.
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Fix the scattered mentions in README**
Make these exact replacements:
| Find | Replace with |
|---|---|
| `The key sits in a plain file, like the weather key, because the fetch runs` | `The key sits in a plain file because the fetch runs` |
| ` { widget = 'weather', col = 1, row = 2, w = 1, h = 1 },` | ` { widget = 'now', col = 1, row = 2, w = 1, h = 1 },` |
| `a clamp, `math.max(lo, math.min(hi, inner.w * k))`; the clock and weather` / `cards do.` | `a clamp, `math.max(lo, math.min(hi, inner.w * k))`; the clock does.` (joined onto one line) |
| `The` / `weather card stacks from the top and lets the arc take the remainder.` | `The` / `sky card stacks its rows from the top and pins the arc to the bottom.` |
| `overlap. The weather arc does this: below 70px it is not drawn at all, because a` / `curve crossing the stat rows is worse than no curve.` | `overlap. The sky arc does this: below 50px it is not drawn at all, because a` / `curve crossing the rows is worse than no curve.` |
| ``~/.fonts/o/Oswald`) for squared numerals while the weather card keeps`` | ``~/.fonts/o/Oswald`) for squared numerals while the other cards keep`` |
| The whole paragraph starting `**A bad OWM key returns 401 and an unknown city returns 404**` | `**A 200 is not proof of a forecast.** `curl -f` rejects HTTP errors, and the` / `fetch script also checks the flattened cache has a current temperature before` / `replacing the old one, so an unusable body never reaches the cards.` |
| `weather text once shrank to a whisper beside the clock when its cell got shorter` | `old weather card's text once shrank to a whisper beside the clock when its cell got shorter` |
- [ ] **Step 3: Fix DESIGN.md**
| Find | Replace with |
|---|---|
| `card: the daylight arc in `weather`. Or the type itself fills the cell.` | `card: the daylight arc in `sky`, the curve in `hourly`. Or the type itself fills the cell.` |
| `weather puts the condition glyph in its header, and every card title` | ``now` puts the condition glyph in its header, and every card title` |
- [ ] **Step 4: Check nothing stale remains**
Run: `grep -n -i "openweather\|OWM\|weather\.json\|widget = 'weather'" README.md DESIGN.md AGENTS.md lib widgets bin test dashboard.lua conky.conf.in`
Expected: no output. Also `grep -c '—' README.md DESIGN.md` prints `0` for both.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add README.md DESIGN.md
git commit -m "docs: the Open-Meteo weather cards and their Conky-Mirage origin
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>"
```
