Spectralis devlog #34
—Hello again proggers—
Still on the devlog commits grind. The surprise from devlog #33 is actually finished now, releasing alongside the next Stardance ship as soon as this current one clears. Meanwhile, spent this round scouring the app for small edge cases and UI stuff that’s been quietly overlooked.
the surprise is done, the suspense is not
Cat or dog? edge_case.md
Okay let’s get into it~
—Yap—
Two tracks this devlog: the surprise from last time is locked and ready, waiting on the current ship to clear before it goes out with Stardance. In the meantime, doing a proper sweep for the small stuff — edge cases and UI rough edges that don’t show up unless you’re specifically hunting for them.
—The Great Suffering—
1 — The Surprise Is Finished
Whatever it is, it’s done. Releasing with the next Stardance ship, not this current one — has to clear first. Still not saying what it is.
still not telling you, patience
2 — Scouring For Edge Cases
Going through the app specifically looking for edge cases that got missed during normal feature work — the inputs and states nobody thinks to test until something breaks in a very specific, very rare way.
3 — UI Stuff That Got Overlooked
Alongside the edge cases, hunting down small UI issues that slipped through — spacing, alignment, states that don’t look quite right, the stuff that’s easy to miss when you’re heads-down building instead of using the app like a regular person would.
—FAQ (no one asked these but they are here)—

A: A human programmer. You. The one hunting edge cases nobody else would think to try.
Q: What’s the surprise?
A: Patience, my dear child.
Q: Why wait for the current ship to clear first?
A: Cleaner to let one release settle before stacking the surprise onto the next one.
Q: Any specific edge cases found yet?
A: Sweep’s ongoing, nothing dramatic enough to call out individually yet.
