Fix synoptic chart rasterization: switch to pdftoppm

2026-08-27T01:06:02Z

BOM's IDY00030 chart-generator update on 2026-08-26 exposed an upstream Ghostscript bug where magick's PDF delegate silently drops all page content but isobars at production DPI. Poppler's pdftoppm renders the same PDFs correctly, so it now does the rasterization step and magick just resizes. Records the incident, remediation, and a separate unfixable BOM-side monochrome-fill defect in doc/rtfm.md.

rtfm: record orphaned pair-cache cleanup

2026-07-30T23:59:18Z

st33v removed the ~275 leftover PoC-era loose frame files from /mnt/enclave/synoptic/pairs/ noted in the handbook's Current status. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5

Add doc/rtfm.md handbook; fix stale button label and unit description

2026-07-30T23:57:40Z

Commits index.html's "3-day history" button label (deployed earlier this session but not yet committed), drops the now-inaccurate hardcoded day-count from synoptic-morph.service's Description=, and adds doc/rtfm.md as the formation's continuously-maintained handbook per house convention.

Flip glyph direction to left-to-right, triple its size

2026-07-30T02:20:44Z

Progress glyph was backwards and too small to read comfortably. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5

Add right-to-left progress glyph to morph timelapse

2026-07-30T02:10:48Z

A drifting cloud glyph maps linearly to elapsed video time so viewers can see how far through the loop they are; outlined for legibility against both light ocean and dark chart backgrounds. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5

Shrink morph window from 30 to 3 days

2026-07-30T01:47:58Z

Archived PNGs were accumulating unbounded on the cramped root volume; the morph only ever needs a small rolling window and PNGs can be regenerated from the retained raw PDFs if needed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5

Memoir: synoptic morph timelapse session

2026-06-10T10:26:30Z

PoC arc (three iterations), the cremonde storage reckoning that forced a workspace migration to /mnt/enclave, and the production pipeline shape — content-addressed pair cache, rolling 30-day window, OnSuccess= chain off synoptic.service. Side-quest captured: a small "latest transition" mp4, deferred. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7

Add synoptic-morph: 30-day rolling morph timelapse

2026-06-10T09:10:38Z

synopticMorph.sh: rolling-cache implementation. On each run: 1. Pick the last WINDOW_DAYS*4 charts from the archive. 2. For each adjacent pair, fill any missing pair-morph (cached at /mnt/enclave/synoptic/pairs/__/p_NNNN.png). 3. Evict pair dirs whose slug isn't in the current window. 4. Symlink frames into a temp seq dir with LINGER on each source chart and DWELL on the latest, fade-in 1s and fade-out 2s. 5. Encode to /srv/www/pestrel/morph.mp4 with ffmpeg/h264. Bootstrap: ~50 min CPU on first run (119 pair morphs at ~25s each). Steady state: ~1 min/cycle (1 new pair + concat + encode). synoptic-morph.service: oneshot, TimeoutStartSec=2h to cover the bootstrap, Nice=10 + IOSchedulingClass=idle so it doesn't fight the system for CPU/disk. synoptic.service gains OnSuccess=synoptic-morph.service so the chain fires automatically after each successful chart fetch. morph.html: points at /morph.mp4 now. index.html: "Three-day history" button renamed to "Monthly history", URL /morph.html. setup.sh: installs the new unit + script, provisions /mnt/enclave/synoptic/{pairs,out} when the enclave mount is present. .gitignore: drop .claude/ (transient harness state).

Side-quest note: migrate radar fetch to stan

2026-06-10T03:56:27Z

Captures the deferred plan to move BOM FTP fetching off the SG VPS (cremonde) onto the AU pi (stan), with stan rsyncing finished APNGs to cremonde over WireGuard. Trigger conditions, design, and open questions documented for a future agent (or future st33v) to pick up if/when warranted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7

Memoir: radar follow-up session

2026-06-10T03:40:11Z

Captures the TLS-fallthrough fix, two more radars, cross-page nav, mobile sizing, and the Radars button on synoptic — all on 2026-06-10, day after the initial rollout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7
