core/data is the seam between storage and everything else. Reads return domain
types, cycles are derived rather than stored, and the forecast is a function of
the data instead of a field somebody has to remember to refresh — so §11's
"recalculate after a confirmed start, after an edit, after a Not yet" is
automatic rather than three call sites.
Confirming a period is four writes in one transaction, because a partial result
is a corrupt history rather than a failed action: write the record, score the
forecast that was standing, clear the "not yet" observations it resolved, and
snapshot a fresh forecast.
THE DEFECT THIS FOUND
A test expecting one scored prediction found three. The cause was not the test:
every historical period entered during onboarding was scoring the current
forecast against a date in the past, inventing an error for a prediction nobody
had ever been shown. §16's "your predictions are getting better" would have been
populated with figures the app made up about itself — plausible ones, which is
what makes it expensive to notice.
Two rules now, both pinned by tests:
- exactly one unscored snapshot exists at a time. A forecast superseded before
its outcome was known is not a wrong forecast, and counting it lets one
cycle contribute several errors.
- a confirmed start only scores a forecast made on or before it. Anything
earlier is backfill and leaves the standing forecast alone.
Accuracy also stays quiet below three scored predictions. One lucky forecast
reading "average error: 0 days" is an overstatement, not a measurement.
THE ROOM BOUNDARY, HELD THREE WAYS
implementation rather than api on core:database; CycleRepository's constructor
internal because it names a PeriodDatabase; reads mapped to domain types in
Mappers.kt. Callers use CycleData.repository(context) and never learn Room
exists. Verified rather than asserted: grep -rn "androidx.room" app/src domain
is empty, and Room appears zero times in :app's debugCompileClasspath.
No fallbackToDestructiveMigration: it turns a forgotten migration into a silent
wipe of the user's entire cycle history on update.
Also fixed: `domain/*` inside a KDoc silently opened a nested block comment —
Kotlin block comments nest — which broke compilation in a way the error message
pointed nowhere near.
58 tests across the project, all passing.
