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.

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)

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.
