Makes weather a cross-platform example that builds and renders correctly on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows, as well as the board and the web simulator.

  • Declares gea.designWidth: 273 (the board's logical width), so each target scales the layout to its surface, and enables the Android, iOS, macOS and Windows targets.
  • Removes CSS workarounds for native renderer bugs, which are now fixed in the renderers. max-height: none had collapsed the forecast section on iOS.
  • Sizes the macOS window at exactly 2x the design width, so every length lands on a whole pixel.
  • Fixes a year-boundary bug in weatherTimeSortKey: on 31 December the hourly row went blank.
  • The backdrop uses object-fit: cover, and the city chips' padding is symmetric.

Depends on the core, android, apple, windows and cli PRs. Screenshots were compared against a Chrome rendering of the same CSS.

Weather was the richest example that already spanned more than one target --
live forecasts, city management, scrollable rails -- but it ran only on the
board, the web simulator and Android. It is also the one app whose layout makes
a good cross-platform reference, so the gaps were worth closing.

Its stylesheets are authored for the 410x502 board at ratio 1.5, which is 273
logical px wide, so it declares that as its design width and every phone and
desktop target scales it from there. Two rules earn their place behind a tall
viewport: the forecast's 68px cap keeps it from crowding the hero on the board
but leaves a dead band on a phone, and the backdrops were rendered at panel
size, so they need to stretch rather than letterbox. The board's logical height
is 335, so neither rule ever reaches it.

The `fit` attribute on the backdrop images had to go: it is recorded as an
inline style, and inline styles replay after class rules, so it would have
overridden the media-scoped object-fit without a trace. The CSS already says
contain, so the board sees no change.

Display.setBrightness and setFlushConfig stay. They are ESP32 tuning and inert
setters elsewhere; only the comment needed to say so.

Two rules were added to make weather look acceptable on the phone and desktop
targets, and both were the wrong shape: they bent the app to fit the renderers
instead of leaving the CSS correct. `object-fit: fill` was chosen for the
backdrops purely because it is the one value all three backends happen to agree
on -- macOS maps `cover` to a proportional fit and the Android view stretches
whatever it is given.

The forecast rule was worse than cosmetic. `max-height: none` is not a length
the engine understands: it reaches parseLengthForNode, strtod stops at the `n`,
and the property lands as 0 -- which clampSize treats as a hard maximum because
0 is not the kUnset sentinel. With `min-height: 0` there is no floor to restore
it, so `.forecast` computed to height 0 and iOS, which hides a view of zero
size along with its whole subtree, dropped the section head and both rails. The
board never saw it because the rule sits behind a tall-viewport query its 335
logical px never match.

The dead band under the rails on a tall screen is what the reference rendering
shows too, so it stays until the design says otherwise in CSS.

designWidth is 273, so a 410px window gave a device pixel ratio of 1.502 and
every CSS length was rounded to an integer on its own. A 1px padding became
2px on each side, so a 26px cell had 35px of content where CSS gives it 36 --
enough to wrap "10 PM" onto a second line and make the row overflow.

546 is 2 x 273, so every length in the stylesheet lands on a whole device
pixel and the rounding divergence disappears on this target.

The key was month*744 + day*24 + hour, so on 31 December the hourly
entries for January sorted below the current hour: the scan in
applyApiWeather walked past the end of the array and every hourly slot
came out blank.

Scaling the year needs a multiplier above the 9695 intra-year maximum
(12*744 + 31*24 + 23), which 8928 is not, so the key is nested rather
than flat. Checked monotonic across 14,784 sampled points from 2020 to
2030.

No @geastack/windows dependency: weather runs the `gea` runtime, and
notes-jsx already targets Windows the same way without declaring it.
Only the windows-native runtime needs that package.

Built and run against the Win32 target: the backdrop, the translucent
chip surfaces and the forecast rail below the metric strip all render,
and localStorage survives a restart. The `.screen` padding is not
applied (--safe-x: 17px, content still sits at x=0), which is a
pre-existing renderer gap, not a target-enablement one.

The backdrop art is the 410x502 panel itself; object-fit: cover fills a
taller desktop window instead of leaving bands above and below it. City
chips drop the extra bottom padding so their labels sit centred.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Weather app updates its platform targets and macOS window settings, changes background-image fitting and city-chip padding, and includes the year in hourly forecast ordering.

Changes

Weather app

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cross-platform target settings
apps/weather/package.json, apps/weather/macos.json, apps/weather/index.tsx, docs/EXAMPLE-CATALOG.md
The package adds designWidth: 273 and enables iOS, macOS, and Windows. A macOS window configuration is added. Comments and the catalog entry are updated.
Weather image and chip layout
apps/weather/components/WeatherBackground.css, apps/weather/components/WeatherBackground.tsx, apps/weather/components/CityRail.css
Background images use CSS object-fit: cover, and the image elements no longer specify fit="contain". City-chip bottom padding changes from 10px to 6px.
Hourly forecast ordering
apps/weather/stores/WeatherStore.ts
The hourly forecast sort key now includes the timestamp year.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: dashersw

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d9699

Readers may miss that Weather supports Windows. This is a small documentation gap with no runtime impact, so the change is otherwise mergeable.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to d9699

The change expands the example to iOS, macOS, and Windows without a demonstrated new security flaw. Native build behavior and whether release builds contain configured credentials remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The newly enabled targets expand potential client distribution of the existing Weather app. The evidence does not establish whether builds for those targets contain configured Wi-Fi credentials.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The changed background component has no input or asset-path change that demonstrates new attacker-controlled reachability. The app renders it within the existing Weather view.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Before distributing the new native builds, verify whether the target build pipeline embeds configured Wi-Fi credentials and keep such credentials out of broadly distributed clients.

Add Windows to the Weather target list.

The manifest enables windows, but the catalog row omits it. Add windows so the row lists all enabled targets. geaos is correctly excluded because the manifest disables it.
