The homepage was flagging every park as weather delay because calendar.ts
collapsed "fetchLiveRides returned null" into the same openRides=0 bucket as
"all rides actually closed." Meanwhile every scraper (queuetimes, sixflags
operating-hours, sixflags wait-times) was swallowing non-OK responses and
exceptions silently, so logs gave no signal which upstream was failing or how.
Add a small scraperWarn helper that emits in the same shape as backend/log.ts
(without importing it — lib/scrapers is shared with the Next frontend). Use it
in all three scrapers to record HTTP status and error name+message before each
return null. Add parksSkipped to the tier-5 summary log so we can tell when the
openParks filter is rejecting everyone vs the fetcher silently failing.
Convert calendar.ts ridesCache to a discriminated union { kind: "ok" | "unknown" }.
Weather delay only fires on { kind: "ok", openRides: 0 }; unknown entries get
a 30s TTL so we recover quickly when upstream comes back and don't thunder-herd
in the meantime.

Three usability fixes after a day of using the ride detail page.
1. Six Flags is now the primary source for regular wait times. SF's
/wait-times endpoint reports regular waits alongside Fast Lane, and it
updates more promptly than Queue-Times around park-open. The sampler
and the live /rides + ride-history routes all prefer SF's regularWaittime
when its createdDateTime is non-empty; Queue-Times remains the fallback
and the authoritative isOpen source.
2. The today chart's Fast Lane line now stays visible when its value is 0
(walk-on). Y-axis bottom padding ensures the line sits clearly above the
X-axis frame instead of being clipped against it. The tooltip shows
"walk-on" instead of "0 min" for that case.
3. Outages are now explicit on the chart instead of just being gaps.
computeOutages walks today's samples to find contiguous closed runs and
numbers them chronologically. Each outage renders as a translucent pink
ReferenceArea with a "#N" label. The custom tooltip detects when the
cursor is over an outage span and shows "Outage #N — Hh Mm" (e.g.
"Outage #2 — 1h 28m") in place of the wait/Fast Lane rows.
Includes a seed-test-samples.ts dev script for eyeballing the chart with
synthetic outage data.

Adds a cron-driven sampler that snapshots Queue-Times waits and Six Flags
Fast Lane data every 5 minutes into a new ride_wait_samples table, and a
clickable per-ride detail page at /park/[id]/ride/[slug] with Today / 7d /
30d Recharts views plus a 30d uptime pill. Rides are keyed by Queue-Times'
stable qt_ride_id so renames don't fragment history. Samples store
pre-bucketed local_date and local_time in the park's IANA timezone so
aggregations are pure SQL and DST-safe.

Join Fast Lane waits from the Six Flags /wait-times endpoint onto
Queue-Times rides by name. A new toggle on the live ride panel swaps
the shown wait to the Fast Lane number; regular waits and open status
still come from Queue-Times.

Embed Six Flags API IDs directly in the park registry and snapshot
coaster lists from park-meta.json into a TypeScript module. This
eliminates the Playwright-based discovery script, RCDB scraper, and
runtime dependency on park-meta.json — preparing for the backend
API transition.
- Add apiId field to Park type and all 24 park entries
- Create lib/coaster-data.ts with hardcoded coaster lists
- Update page components to use park.apiId and new getCoasterSet()
- Remove scripts/discover.ts, lib/scrapers/rcdb.ts, lib/park-meta.ts
- Remove data/park-meta.json from shared volume
- Remove playwright devDependency and discover npm script
- Simplify scripts/scrape.ts (no RCDB, no discovery checks)

The API without a date param returns today's operating data directly,
invalidating the previous assumption that today's date was always missing.
- Add fetchToday(apiId, revalidate?) to sixflags.ts — calls the dateless
endpoint with optional ISR cache
- Extract parseApiDay() helper shared by scrapeMonth and fetchToday
- Update upsertDay WHERE clause: >= date('now') so today can be updated
(was > date('now'), which froze today after first write)
- scrape.ts: add a today-scrape pass after the monthly loop so each run
always writes fresh today data to the DB
- app/page.tsx: fetch live today data for all parks (5-min ISR) and merge
into the data map before computing open/closing/weatherDelay status
- app/park/[id]/page.tsx: prefer live today data from API for todayData
so weather delays and hour changes surface within 5 minutes
- scrapeRidesForDay: update comment only — role unchanged (QT fallback)

- isCoaster → isCoasterMatch on line 109 (missed rename causing runtime crash
which returned null from fetchLiveRides, breaking the entire ride panel)
- Rewrite test as two flat arrays: SHOULD_MATCH and SHOULD_NOT_MATCH pairs,
each with the QT name, RCDB name, and park for context

Imports must appear before other statements in ES modules.
Also drop the explicit .ts extension from import paths — Next.js
bundler resolves them without it, and the extension after const
was causing the module to silently fail in the app.

Extract matching logic into lib/coaster-match.ts (isCoasterMatch + normalizeForMatch)
so it can be imported by both the scraper and tests without duplication.
Add tests/coaster-matching.test.ts covering all known match/false-positive cases:
- Trademark symbols, leading THE, possessives, punctuation
- Subtitle variants in both directions (Apocalypse, New Revolution - Classic)
- Space-split brand words (BAT GIRL vs Batgirl)
- 4D subtitle extension (THE JOKER™ 4D Free Fly Coaster vs Joker)
- False positives: Joker y Harley Quinn, conjunction connectors
Run with: npm test

Matching fixes:
- normalize() now strips all non-word/non-space chars via [^\w\s] instead of
a hand-rolled list, catching !, curly apostrophe (U+2019), and any future edge cases
- Add isCoaster() helper with prefix matching (min 5 chars) to handle subtitle
mismatches in either direction (e.g. "Apocalypse" vs "Apocalypse the Ride",
"The New Revolution - Classic" vs "New Revolution")
- Fix top-level rides loop which still used coasterNames.has(normalize()) instead
of isCoaster() — this was the recurring bug causing top-level rides to miss
UI:
- Dark neutral base (#111) replacing cold navy and muddy purple
- Neon accent palette: hot pink, electric green, vivid yellow, cyan
- Park page max-width 960→1280px, calendar cells 72→96px tall
- Scrollbar accent matches theme
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add lib/park-meta.ts to manage data/park-meta.json (rcdb_id + coaster lists)
- Add lib/scrapers/rcdb.ts to scrape operating coaster names from RCDB park pages
- discover.ts now seeds park-meta.json with skeleton entries for all parks
- scrape.ts now refreshes RCDB coaster lists (30-day staleness) for parks with rcdb_id set
- fetchLiveRides() accepts a coasterNames Set; isCoaster uses normalize() on both sides
to handle trademark symbols, 'THE ' prefixes, and punctuation differences between
Queue-Times and RCDB names — applies correctly to both land rides and top-level rides
- Commit park-meta.json so it ships in the Docker image (fresh volumes get it automatically)
- Update .gitignore / .dockerignore to exclude only *.db files, not all of data/
- Dockerfile copies park-meta.json into image before VOLUME declaration
- README: document coaster filter setup and correct staleness window (72h not 7d)

Queue-Times groups rides into lands (e.g. "Coasters", "Family", "Kids").
Capture that categorisation in LiveRide.isCoaster and surface it as a
toggle in the new LiveRidePanel client component.
- lib/scrapers/queuetimes.ts: add isCoaster: boolean to LiveRide,
derived from land.name.toLowerCase().includes("coaster")
- components/LiveRidePanel.tsx: client component replacing the old
inline LiveRideList; adds a "🎢 Coasters only" pill toggle that
filters the grid; toggle only appears when the park has coaster-
categorised rides; amber when active, muted when inactive
- app/park/[id]/page.tsx: swap LiveRideList for LiveRidePanel,
remove now-dead LiveRideList/LiveRideRow functions

Park detail pages now show real-time ride open/closed status and wait
times sourced from Queue-Times.com (updates every 5 min) when a park
is operating. Falls back to the Six Flags schedule API for off-hours
or parks without a Queue-Times mapping.
- lib/queue-times-map.ts: maps all 24 park IDs to Queue-Times park IDs
- lib/scrapers/queuetimes.ts: fetches and parses queue_times.json with
5-minute ISR cache; returns LiveRidesResult with isOpen + waitMinutes
- app/park/[id]/page.tsx: tries Queue-Times first; renders LiveRideList
with Live badge and per-ride wait times; falls back to RideList for
schedule data when live data is unavailable
- README: documents two-tier ride status approach
Attribution: Queue-Times.com (displayed in UI per their API terms)

Visual overhaul:
- Warmer color system with amber accent for Today, better text hierarchy
- Row hover highlighting, sticky column shadow on horizontal scroll
- Closed cells replaced with dot (·) instead of "Closed" text
- Regional grouping (Northeast/Southeast/Midwest/Texas & South/West)
- Two-row header with park count badge and WeekNav on separate lines
- Amber "Today" button in WeekNav when off current week
- Mobile card layout (< 1024px) with 7-day grid per park; table on desktop
- Skeleton loading state via app/loading.tsx
Park detail pages (/park/[id]):
- Month calendar view with ← → navigation via ?month= param
- Live ride status fetched from Six Flags API (cached 1h)
- Ride hours only shown when they differ from park operating hours
- Fallback to nearest upcoming open day when today is dropped by API,
including cross-month fallback for end-of-month edge case
Data layer:
- Park type gains region field; parks.ts exports groupByRegion()
- db.ts gains getParkMonthData() for single-park month queries
- sixflags.ts gains scrapeRidesForDay() returning RidesFetchResult
with rides, dataDate, isExact, and parkHoursLabel
Removed: CalendarGrid.tsx, MonthNav.tsx (dead code)

- Buyout days are now treated as closed unless they carry a Passholder
Preview event, in which case they surface as a distinct purple cell
in the UI showing "Passholder" + hours
- DB gains a special_type column (auto-migrated on next startup)
- scrape.ts threads specialType through to upsertDay
- debug.ts now shows events, isBuyout, isPassholderPreview, and
specialType in the parsed result section

npm run debug -- --park greatadventure --date 2026-07-04
Prints the raw API response for that day alongside the parsed result
so mismatched or missing hours can be traced to their source.
