rdmsm4x-changelog-20260921-1959-rtty-builds-514-517-app-store-ready

RTTy Builds 514→517 shipped to all six Macs and Build 517 is attached to App Store version 0.3.842 with a new Standard screenshot set: the flows-band resizing Rich reported is fixed, plus eight more defects found while validating each build.

Scope

Hosts: all six (rdmsm4x, rdmbair13m5, rdmbair15m5, jdmbair13m5, rdmpw3265m, rdmpw3275m) — Direct channel installs; App Store Connect (Standard channel) for app 6810851036.
Session: claude@rdmsm4x, c13f617a, 2026-09-21 15:2x → 19:59:08 EDT.

What changed

Build	Commit / tag	Fix
514	`5bc0629` / `v0.3.839-build514`	Flows band no longer resizes per sample (window-wide count, one-way latch, 60 s shrink hysteresis); heatmap readable (log intensity, gutter labels, stable row order); heatmaps keep cell width across watched/idle cadence (ISSUE-20260914-13); assetutil float DumpToolVersion; four gate defects
515	`d4e942c` / `v0.3.840-build515`	Connection Health keeps one run across a cadence switch
516	`75a3d60` / `v0.3.841-build516`	Standard truth: Settings caption no longer claims a Cloudflare/Google baseline Standard never probes; IPv6 system resolvers measured over labelled TCP/53 (headline was stuck at "1/2 available"); no "0%" loss with no attempts
517	`f63fd40` / `v0.3.842-build517`	Latency rows keep restored history continuous after a relaunch (were isolated dots for the first window)

App Store Connect (read back after every write)

Version 0.3.842, PREPARE_FOR_SUBMISSION, build 517 (f776ef57) attached, VALID, usesNonExemptEncryption false.
Description line 4 corrected for IPv6 resolvers (3,034 → 3,062 chars).
Screenshots: four 2880×1800 Build 517 Standard shots (dashboard Space Blue, menu-bar panel, Settings → Monitoring, dashboard Light), public IP and MAC pixelated, uploaded COMPLETE and ordered 19:57:59–19:58:17 EDT; the five 2026-09-11 shots showing the Direct-only flows band were deleted only after that (backed up).

Verification evidence

Store packages verified on the artifact (Apple Distribution, universal app + appex, Metadata.appintents, BuildInfo clean at the Direct commit); validate + upload succeeded for 514, 515, 516, 517.
Fleet: 517 accepted on all six 19:34:59–19:37:22 with hash-checked rollback to 516 armed.

Environment changes on rdmsm4x (non-persistent or restored)

Xcode 26.6 borrowed into /Applications/Xcode.app under XCODE-SWAP-ACTIVE for each construct + gate; App Store Xcode 27.0 restored each time (last 19:34:27). Undo: none needed.
Routes 17.156.104.0/24 and 17.56.138.0/24 via 192.168.1.1 with -mtu 1500 (jumbo-MTU blackhole to Apple upload endpoints). Non-persistent; undo sudo route delete -net <net>.

Undo

Fleet: each host keeps /Applications/.RTTy.app.rollback-build516-f63fd40; swap back with the installer's rollback path. ASC: builds 514–516 remain VALID and can be re-attached; the previous screenshot set is backed up at ~/dev/_handoff/rtty-appstore-514-20260921/screenshots/asc-before-515-fullres/.
