Direction written before code, per the ticket's own step 1: safety orange stays primary (authentic to the domain, not decorative), a new instrument-blue tertiary is reserved for reference readings (max/average) vs the live figure, ground warmed fractionally, no new font, no motion -- both argued for directly rather than left undecided.
Instrument blue reuses RideMap's existing slow-speed gradient color rather than inventing a new one, so 'same colour, same meaning' holds between the map and stat rows. contrastRatio() implements WCAG 2.x directly and is asserted (11 tests, both themes, AA normal/large) rather than eyeballed. Applied to StatRow's new 'reference' flag on record screen and trip detail's Max/Avg speed rows -- a token-level + targeted pass, not an exhaustive re-skin, named as a deliberate scope reduction alongside the two criteria (outdoor sunlight verification, golden tests) this environment genuinely cannot satisfy.
One file per feature, in the v2 shape that worked: goal, context, design,
implementation, acceptance criteria, tests, risks, out of scope -- written before
implementing so the risks are on paper rather than walked into.
Three carry more weight than their size suggests. V3-01 ships the port's first
real migration, and since the destructive fallback is gone, getting addColumn and
a v1-database test right matters more than the feature. V3-08 forces a
routing-engine decision with ongoing cost, so it sits behind a RoutingService
interface mirroring what LocationSource did for GPS. V3-13 is not code at all --
it answers the three questions open since v2, and V3-15 may close unbuilt as a
result, which is a legitimate outcome.
Several tickets record constraints that are easy to lose: no activity picker in
front of Start, because the founding premise is press-and-go with gloves; the
Route-to-Trip foreign key must not cascade, or deleting an old plan deletes the
ride; V3-14 will deliberately break the parity harness by adding GPX <type>, and
that expectation should be updated rather than the check dropped; and V3-16 must
not regress the explicit text colours that exist because of the black-on-black bug.
