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.).
previously it would show changes between the current HEAD and the previous HEAD, which would neglect to show all the file changes from multiple commits, only the most recent one. this makes sure we store the HEAD hash from before the system is updated, and then compared to HEAD after it's updated.
