Play 2026-08-27 afternoon (Thursday), look-only http://127.0.0.1:4220/?view=preflight. No Refresh books click.
Candidate watch READY, current snapshot presented as live / recomputed. REFRESH JOURNAL Latest 3 of 6: newest is 8/24/2026, 12:10:56 AM, then 8/23 7:32 PM, 8/21 4:06 AM. Nothing since Monday. Nothing says the screen is historical.
Not #97 (Discover scheduled hourly digest stamped 8/21 and still HOURLY). Not #33 (ACTIVE programs stay due). Not #91 (Refresh books is a dead CTA — this is the resting journal looking current).
Why it matters
READY + current snapshot next to a three-day-old journal reads as a live books check. An operator cannot tell the last refresh was Monday.
Proposed direction (not a spec)
Say the journal is stale (age, last refresh), or stop calling the snapshot current when the newest row is days old. Copy only. Do not add a spend path.
Out of scope
