The Atlas — the 's illustrated field guide — needed a way to tie a specimen's prose to the turning of its year. It built one, then another, then threw both away for a third. This site holds the first two, which died within a single day of each other.

Phase.vue (::phase)

Sixty-five lines that kept a passage fully inked for readers who never touched the dial, fading it to pencil only once the wheel was engaged. Retired for a season model that outlived it by fifty-six minutes; the engaged flag only it read went out in the same commit. Two abandonments deep, its header comment reads whole.

Season.vue (:season)

An inline season name that swung the almanac needle to its midpoint on click, carried a miniature arc glyph and a hovercard of label, day-span and gloss, and underlined itself while the needle rode inside it. Sixty-five careful lines, degrading politely to a plain span off a specimen page, alive for a day.

SeasonNote.vue (::season-note)

Sixty-seven lines built to a reader's request for a paragraph per season: server-rendered expanded, collapsing to the needle's season only after hydration, and using v-show so hidden sightings kept their dial ticks. Added at 22:17 and removed at 23:51 the same night, when every specimen was recut onto phase-notes.
