The green lots are the map's only paid category ("City lots - Paid hourly or
permit"); paying for them goes through ParkSmarter, so they are no use to
someone browsing without an account. Every other category is free street
parking with a posted time limit and needs nothing.
Gated by category rather than by an id list. Two lots were named (off Oak St
and off N 3rd Ave) and then the beach ones, which together is every green lot
on the map — and an id list would silently break the next time the map is
regenerated from a new PDF, since ids are positional.
- Paid lots are filtered out of the overlay when signed out, so they are
neither drawn nor tappable.
- "Park here" still detects them, so standing in one explains that it needs an
account instead of reporting no parking nearby.
- The area screen guards too, in case one is reached with a stale nav param.
- Server carries an optional per-area requiresAccount override for a lot that
turns out to take payment another way. Null means "use the category
default", so an unset value can't be confused with an explicit false.
The new column needs a real migration: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS does not add
a column to a table that already exists, so an already-deployed server would
have kept the old schema. Covered by a test that builds the pre-migration
table and then opens it.

A city-map timer started without signing in did not appear under Sessions.
The tab returned "Sign in to see your sessions" before rendering anything, so
a local session could never show; and even signed in it only ever listed
ParkSmarter's sessions. A local timer is the one kind that has no server copy,
which made it the one kind the screen could not display.
- Sessions now leads with "Tracking on this phone": the live countdown with
+1 hour and End, working with no account and no network, because that is the
only place the session exists.
- Recent local sessions are kept in a small on-device history (50 max). Without
it a local session vanished the instant it ended — there is no server to ask.
Paid ParkSmarter sessions are excluded so they don't appear twice.
- The ParkSmarter half is layered on top when signed in and can fail
independently: offline it reports that and keeps the local half visible,
rather than the whole tab going blank. It also no longer leaves an unhandled
rejection when the fetch throws (it had try/finally but no catch).
- The card's second button follows the notification's rule: +1 hour for a local
timer, Extend -> purchase screen for a bought session, since only one of those
can honestly add time.
History is written in endActiveParking() before the record is dropped, which
also covers expiry — syncActiveParking() routes a lapsed session through the
same call.

Parking without an account showed "Your session expired — please sign in
again." repeatedly and kicked the user back to the login screen.
The 401 hook on the API client is global: it fires on every unauthorized
response whether or not the caller caught the error. Anonymous Mode has no
token, so any ParkSmarter call 401s, and two of them run automatically —
discoverPaidSession() on open and every foreground, and the map's
lastSessionLot() on every mount. Each one flipped the status to signedOut;
re-entering anonymous mode ran them again, hence "over and over".
Both call sites already caught their errors, which is why this hid: the
bounce came from the client hook, not from the catch.
- A 401 in Anonymous Mode is no longer treated as a session expiry. There is
no session to expire, and bouncing to sign-in makes the mode pointless.
This also covers the Sessions/Favorites/Scan tabs, which 401 the same way.
- authBus carries the mode to the non-React modules that need it.
- discoverPaidSession() and lastSessionLot() are skipped entirely when
anonymous rather than fired and discarded.
- "Last lot" now says it needs an account instead of silently doing nothing.

Adds the City of Sandpoint's printed "Downtown & Waterfront Public Parking"
map as a georeferenced overlay, and lets you track your time on any of its
areas without ever touching the ParkSmarter/IPS API.
Georeferencing (tools/citymap/)
- The PDF carries no geo metadata, so the page->WebMercator affine is
recovered by fitting the drawing to OSM street centrelines.
- pdftocairo writes stroked street segments with per-path matrix()
transforms in local coords while filled lots are absolute; both are
handled. The five legend swatches share the real geometry's colours and
are identified by stroke-width and position, then dropped.
- 49 areas, fitted to RMS 4.1 m (X) / 3.5 m (Y). On-street segments land a
mean 4.0 m from the nearest OSM road. sp-039/040 sit further out because
they are angled bays along the old rail corridor, on no named road at all.
- Sandpoint's grid jogs 38 m between N 2nd Ave and S 2nd Ave; the page shows
the same jog at the fitted scale, which independently confirms the fit.
App
- Map tab: "City map" layer in the legend's colours, tappable.
- "Park here" pins the car from GPS and auto-detects the containing area
(40 m snap). With no fix it asks you to tap the spot instead, so the pin
never depends on GPS working.
- The pin lives in its own storage key, not inside the session: pinning the
car without starting a timer must survive backing out of the screen.
- Durations cap at the posted limit — a 2-hour space is not offered a
4-hour timer. Lots and no-limit spots get the long options.
- Reuses the existing foreground-service countdown. The second notification
button reads "+1 hr" for a city area rather than "Extend": there is
nothing to buy, so it edits the local timer and says so.
- Account -> Align city map: nudge/scale/rotate the whole overlay against a
live GPS fix. Save-on-phone needs no admin token, since the person who can
see the misalignment is the one standing on the street.
Server
- parking_areas + map_overlay tables, public read, admin replace-all. The
areas come from one source document, so replacement is wholesale rather
than an upsert.
Dropped geometryCenter from the geo module: on the real data it returns a
point in the water for the crescent City Beach lot and mid-block for
L-shaped runs. Nothing used it.
Tests: 8 geometry tests in app/, 5 area/overlay tests in server/.

The ongoing countdown now appears whenever a car is parked, paid or free,
and sticks around the way ntfy's does on GrapheneOS.
Why it wasn't showing at all on a paid park: StartSessionScreen carried its
own stricter copy of parseApiTime that demanded MM-DD-YYYY + AM/PM. The
dual-format fix from deb78bf only landed in sessionStatus.ts, so when the
API returned the other format the parser returned null and the notification
was simply never posted. There is now one parser (api/parseTime.ts), and the
failure logs instead of going silent.
Persistence: a plain notify() was never enough — Android 14+ lets the user
swipe an ongoing notification away, and nothing brought it back after a
reboot. BbpSessionService is a real foreground service (type specialUse) that
owns the notification, plus a BOOT_COMPLETED receiver to restore it; specialUse
is one of the types Android 14/15 still allow to start from BOOT_COMPLETED.
The service's life is exactly the session's life: it stops itself, removing
the notification, on End, at expiry, or when there's no session to show.
Buttons: paid sessions previously got no actions at all (only free check-ins
did). Both now get End and Extend/Pay. End stops tracking — honest about the
fact that ParkSmarter has no stop-session endpoint, so bought time keeps
running at the meter. Extend opens the purchase screen for that exact zone.
The active session (with its Zone) is persisted locally, so the countdown and
Extend survive reboot, offline, and Anonymous Mode instead of depending on a
round-trip. sessionStatus.ts + features/checkin collapse into one owner,
features/session/activeParking — one record, one notification.
Verified: :bbp-notify:compileDebugKotlin passes, and the merged app manifest
carries the service (specialUse + FGS subtype property), both receivers, and
the FOREGROUND_SERVICE/SPECIAL_USE/RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permissions.

A zone labeled free_2h/3h/4h checks in straight at that limit (no prompt); an
unlabeled zone shows the 2h/3h/4h picker; pay-immediate zones show no check-in.

Anonymous Mode — "Park without signing in" on the login screen (with a popup of
what works vs needs a login). Anonymous users browse parking areas from our
mirror, see labels, and start free check-in timers; paying, sessions, and
account screens prompt to sign in. AuthContext gains an 'anonymous' status +
enterAnonymous/requireLogin.
Zone mirror — server gains a `zones` table + public GET /api/zones and admin
POST /api/zones/sync. Signed-in admins push the zones they pull (authed) from
ParkSmarter after each map search, so anonymous users can read areas without a
ParkSmarter login. Map/Scan read the mirror when anonymous.
Also: the free "Check in" button is now always available with a 2h/3h/4h picker
(no longer gated on a prior label) — fixes "couldn't start a timer on a free
zone". CORS probe confirmed ParkSmarter allows any origin but only Content-Type,
so a future PWA can't auth to it — the mirror is what makes anonymous browsing
(and a PWA) possible.

For a zone labeled free_2h/3h/4h, "Check in (free · Xh)" starts a local, API-free
countdown to the free limit — no ParkSmarter call. The bbp-notify module gains a
showCheckin() that posts the ticking chronometer with "End" / "Pay" buttons, a
BbpActionReceiver (declared in the module's new AndroidManifest.xml) that records
the tap in SharedPreferences and, for Pay, relaunches the app; consumePendingAction()
is drained on foreground by useCheckinSync() — End clears the check-in, Pay hands
off to StartSession for the stored zone. A pre-expiry alert reuses the existing
reminder lead-minutes. Starting a paid session supersedes an active check-in.
Also: MeterDetail shows the free/pay-immediate label and (admins) labeling chips.

- zoneLabels client (cached fetch wrapper) hitting bigbrainparking.mowden.top;
adminStore keeps the admin password in secure-store.
- Admin screen (verify + save password) reachable from Account → Admin.
- MeterDetail shows a label badge and, for admins, 2h/3h/4h/Pay-now/Clear
labeling controls that PUT/DELETE to the API.
- app.json extra.zoneLabelsApiUrl.
- Map default view is now downtown Sandpoint (48.2766,-116.5533 @ z14) instead
of the continental-US fallback.

ScanScreen.lookupCode tried getMetersByScannerCode first and let its thrown
error-envelope abort the whole lookup, so the getMetersByZoneName fallback never
ran; it also sent ZoneName in the scanned case (the API is case-sensitive — the
official app lowercases). Confirmed via live mitmproxy capture of the official
app: a scanned code resolves through ScannerCode, and ZoneName=dl (lowercase)
returns the zone.
Now tries ScannerCode -> ZoneName -> zonename(lowercased) -> TerminalSerNo, each
independent and non-fatal; only reports "Lookup failed" if every attempt errored.
Adds docs/zone-qr/ with the DL-Sandpoint QR (encodes ScannerCode "DL", works in
both BigBrainParking and the official app) and a how-to.

The active-session endpoint (/api/ParkingSession) returns EndTime as
"MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS" (slashes, 24h, seconds), but parseApiTime only matched
the past-session "MM-DD-YYYY hh:mm AM/PM" form. Hermes' Date() can't parse
either, so live sessions parsed to null, got filtered out, and
refreshSessionStatus cleared the notification instead of posting it (log
showed "active sessions raw" but never "show native=").
parseApiTime now accepts both: - or / separators, optional seconds, optional
AM/PM (24h when absent). Added a "[STATUS] parsed N future-end session(s)" log.

Countdown notification "nothing appears" on session start:
- The small icon was the adaptive launcher mipmap (applicationInfo.icon),
which Android 13+/GrapheneOS rejects as an invalid notification small icon
and drops the post silently. Ship a proper white-on-transparent vector
small icon (bbp_stat_parking) inside the module and use it.
- showCountdown now returns a diagnostic string (posted / notifications
disabled / exception) instead of swallowing failures; JS logs the branch,
permission result, and native outcome to the in-app diagnostics log.
- Log the raw active-session payload in refreshSessionStatus (element shape
was previously unconfirmed).
Time remaining showed "7694 min":
- API's TimeRemaining is SECONDS, not minutes. Format it as hours+minutes
in SessionDetail; annotate the type.

Replaces the static status notification with a native Android chronometer that
counts DOWN to the session end — the system ticks it every second with zero app
CPU/battery, visible without opening the app.
- modules/bbp-notify: a ~50-line local Expo module using only NotificationCompat
(setWhen + setUsesChronometer + setChronometerCountDown + ongoing). Zero
third-party dependencies, no Firebase — fits the de-Googled ethos. Verified:
autolinks + Kotlin compiles.
- sessionStatus.ts uses it when present, else falls back to the expo-notifications
static expiry-time notification.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Starting a session posts an ongoing notification showing the expiry time + time
remaining, so you can glance at how long you have left without opening the app.
- Default ON; toggle in Account -> Notifications ("Active-session countdown").
- Kept fresh on app open / foreground (re-posts nearest-expiring active session,
clears when none remain). Quiet channel, no banner/sound on refresh.
- Purely local (expo-notifications); no server/push.
Note: expo-notifications can't render a live per-second ticking countdown in the
background, so it shows the exact expiry time (always accurate) + remaining, and
refreshes on foreground. A true ticking chronometer would need notifee (native).

Location privacy (hard invariant): the device GPS is sent to the API ONLY when
the user taps "My location" and searches.
- Map opens on your LAST session's parking lot (the meter's coordinate from
history), not your GPS.
- "Last" -> "Last lot": centers on the last session's lot and searches there
(~couple-mile view) — no GPS.
- "Search this area" falls back to the tracked viewport center, never the GPS fix.
About page: lead with a BigBrainParking open-source blurb + repo link (was showing
ParkSmarter's own About text first); privacy wording updated to match; drop the
now-unused getAbout fetch.

Documents exactly what reaches ParkSmarter's API (sign-in, account, a single
map-search coordinate, session-start details) and what never does: device GPS is
used only on-device to position the map and cached locally — never attached to
sign-in/sessions/vehicles/payments; no background location, no IMEI/device-id/ad
tracking, no Google services. Audited against the source: the only endpoint that
sends a coordinate is getMetersByLocation, called solely from map searches with
the map's centered point.

- Sessions list items are now tappable -> SessionDetailScreen.
- Past sessions fetch the full receipt (GET /api/ParkingReceipt): vehicle,
start/end, time purchased, parking/fee/total, payment (MASTERCARD ••1234),
auth code, meter, city, transaction id. Adds an "Email me this receipt" action.
- Active sessions show zone/space/start/ends/time-remaining.
- Confirm PastSession + ParkingReceipt types from a live DL-zone session (were
UNCONFIRMED); fix past-session card to show Zone/Description, not blank.

- Start-session: when the single-estimate fallback finds the same price at the
min and max duration (a flat-rate zone like DL), show ONE option — "$X flat,
parked until <end>" — instead of a wall of identical-price rungs. No reason to
offer shorter durations when the price doesn't change.
- capture-dl.mjs: dumps the DL zone's live requests+responses (tokens redacted)
to ~/Downloads/dl-capture/ for a durable record.

A stale/expired token doesn't 401 — /api/User returns an empty body, so
getUserDetail() resolved to undefined without throwing and the launch probe set
signedIn anyway. The dead session then only surfaced when the map/kiosk calls
ran. Now the launch check requires real user data (PersonalPhone/Email); if it's
missing it clears the token and shows the login screen at open.

App:
- When the single-estimate fallback sees MaxTime 0 (or an all-$0.00 ladder),
show "Parking is currently free" instead of a bogus $0.00 purchase ladder.
Free-detection extracted to tested client helpers (isFreeEstimate/ladderAllFree).
Client + tests (node:test, zero deps):
- src/estimates.ts: pure isFreeEstimate/ladderAllFree helpers (exported).
- test/estimates + test/http (mocked fetch): headers, query serialization,
error->ParkSmarterApiError, rolling Auth_Token refresh, 401 clears token.
- test/integration: live checks against the Sandpoint (DSB) zones; targets the
`test` instance by default and SKIPS when it's unreachable (non-prod is
IP-restricted -> 403). Verified 3/3 green against prodv2 read-only.
- CI runs `npm test` as a build gate.
Note: dev/stage/test instances return 403 "Web App - Unavailable" from the
public internet (IP-restricted). API schema is otherwise unchanged vs Jul 6.

Some zones (e.g. short-term "DL" spaces at the downtown lot) return
Response.Status:Error "Unable to process your request" for ParkingEstimateMulti
even though the single-duration ParkingEstimate works. The screen swallowed that
error -> empty duration list, disabled Pay button, no message ("nothing happens").
- Fall back to a single-estimate ladder across the zone's Min/Max time so these
zones are purchasable (verified live: flat ~$0.10 up to ~33 min).
- Surface estimate errors with a message + Try again, instead of a blank screen.
- Log the estimate fallback/failure to the on-device diagnostics log.
