Blockers
- http://birdnet.local/avian/ now serves the collage (added avian/index.html
redirect to frontend/; previously the symlink target had no top-level
index, so users saw a directory listing of api/ assets/ forwarding/
frontend/ scripts/).
- Gemini model bumped from gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview (deprecated
2026-01-15) to the stable gemini-2.5-flash-image. Pregen was non-
functional out of the box.
- avian-mqtt.service: dropped %h (which expands to /root for system-mode
units regardless of User=). Use WorkingDirectory=~ which DOES respect
User=, plus a relative ExecStart.
- birdnet-api.php case 'lifelist' now aliases COUNT(*) AS n (was 'total'),
matching what apt.js reads for atlas card counts. Atlas previously
always displayed 0.
Bugs
- Retry-After parsing handles HTTP-date format without crashing.
- apt.js no longer fetches firstseen/timeseries (declared in state but
never consumed). Two wasted round-trips per page load removed.
- update_birdnet.sh defaults branch=avian-visitors so the (opt-in)
Sunday auto-update cron doesn't reset HEAD to upstream main and
delete the avian/ overlay.
- recording.php: removed dead $BIRDS_JSON_CANDIDATES.
Polish
- Pregen --sleep default raised 4→6s (more headroom under free-tier RPM).
- en-dash in README BOM (~$35–80) replaced with hyphen for style match.
- Slop sweep across user-facing docs: no em-dashes, no en-dashes, no
AI-slop word hits (robust/comprehensive/seamless/etc.).
