What changed

project-read takes timeZone from the request body and store.js only slices it, so any name the
caller sends reached Intl unchecked. project-board.js forwarded it to readMetrics without a
guard, and dayKey built new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-CA', { timeZone }) directly — so one bad name
threw RangeError: Invalid time zone specified out of the whole board read: rows, queues and
decisions went with the seven numbers, and the comment that said "the caller degrades" described a
caller that did not exist.

One resolver, in the module that owns the rule (core/src/host/project-metrics.js:23):

export function resolveTimeZone(timeZone = 'UTC') {
  const wanted = text(timeZone) || 'UTC'
  try {
    new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-CA', { timeZone: wanted })
    return wanted
  } catch {
    return 'UTC'
  }
}

• readMetrics resolves once at entry (:156), before the no-credential and no-fetchImpl returns,
  and uses that value for the cache key and every summarizeMetrics call it makes.
• summarizeMetrics resolves once (:119) and uses it for dayKey, for the answer's timeZone and
  for the unavailable answer too, so all five paths (no credentials, no fetch, read failure,
  cache hit, success) answer the same named UTC.
• The fallback is reported, not silent: the answer's timeZone is UTC, so the caller can see which
  zone the numbers are in; nothing is written back to state or to the request.
• A valid zone keeps today's answer byte for byte — same dayKey, same counts, same cache key — and a
  bad name shares the UTC cache entry rather than throwing or growing a second one.
• The fallback lives in this read only: state.json is byte-identical after a board read with a bad
  zone, and the request's name is written nowhere (the test asserts both).
• store.js is untouched (validation belongs where the zone is used, not where it is sliced),
  project-board.js gains no try/catch around readMetrics, and the client is untouched.

docs/subsystems/core-host.md's metrics paragraph gains the fallback clause, which is the owned-path
update arch-docs asks for.

Red first

Both cases were written first and run on the new base with the source at its base copy.

core/test/project-metrics.test.js in a detached worktree at a735cfe2 carrying only the two test
files (source untouched, git status shows just those two M):

not ok 12 - #1849: an unknown zone answers the named UTC fallback on every path
  error: 'Invalid time zone specified: Not/AZone'   (RangeError, from Intl.DateTimeFormat -> dayKey)
# tests 13  # pass 11  # fail 2

core/test/project-board.test.js with only core/src/host/project-metrics.js restored to its
a735cfe2 copy — i.e. the test asking for a board, the source at the base:

not ok 3 - #1849: an unknown zone does not take the board down with the metrics
  error: 'Invalid time zone specified: Not/AZone'   (dayKey -> summarizeMetrics -> readMetrics -> projectBoard)
# tests 22  # pass 21  # fail 1

The valid-zone case (#1849: a valid zone keeps the day boundary and the answer it had) passed before
the fix as well, which is the point: it pins the normal path so the guard cannot drift it. After the
fix project-metrics.test.js is 13/13 and project-board.test.js 22/22.

Rebase

This branch was rebased from 1c44a786 onto the live base a735cfe2; #1880 had meanwhile changed
the same module's task half. Three files conflicted and all three were resolved by keeping both sides,
never by dropping one:

• core/src/host/project-metrics.js — #1880's taskList / running() / liveRunning / withLive
  and #1829's field-by-field cache entry stay exactly as they are; the only addition is the single
  const zone = resolveTimeZone(timeZone) and using zone where the old code used the raw name (the
  unavailable answer now carries timeZone: zone and running: running()).
• docs/subsystems/core-host.md — #1880's longer metrics paragraph is the text kept; the fallback
  clause is inserted into it rather than replacing it.
• patches/ds-bot/files/src/host/project-metrics.js — generated, not merged by hand:
  node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs generate rewrote the mirror byte-identically to core/ and
  produced no further diff, and the third check line proves core/ equals ds-bot/ plus the
  patches.

Verdict requested for this tip: 9b56be790dc9cc88195114e458203207871f4e82 (tree 61974dabd28af26da0d3e567e4e9362c19e7ea54), base a735cfe2c584a17a5281f5d3d8c9bf82c8ade5e8.

What changed, in one sentence. core/src/host/project-metrics.js gains one resolver, resolveTimeZone (:23-30): an unknown zone name now answers the named UTC (:29) instead of throwing RangeError: Invalid time zone specified from inside dayKey and taking the board's rows, queues and decisions down with the seven numbers; readMetrics resolves once at entry (:156, before the no-credential and no-fetchImpl returns) and uses that value for the cache key and every summarizeMetrics call, while summarizeMetrics resolves once (:119) for dayKey and for the answer's own timeZone, so all five paths (no credentials, no fetch, read failure, cache hit, success) answer the same named UTC. A valid zone reads exactly as before, a bad name shares the UTC cache entry, nothing is written back to state, and the request's raw name is used nowhere.

Evidence I checked myself.

• Red first, on a clean a735cfe2 worktree with untouched sources and only the two test files added:
  • test/project-metrics.test.js → # tests 12 / # pass 11 / # fail 1
    • not ok 11 - #1849: an unknown zone answers the named UTC fallback on every path — error: 'Invalid time zone specified: Not/AZone' (RangeError, thrown from Intl.DateTimeFormat inside dayKey)
  • test/project-board.test.js → # tests 22 / # pass 21 / # fail 1
    • not ok 3 - #1849: an unknown zone does not take the board down with the metrics — same error: 'Invalid time zone specified: Not/AZone'
  • The valid-zone case passed before the fix as well, which is the point of it: it pins the normal path so the guard cannot drift it.
• The pushed head's tree is 61974dab… — identical to the tree the author declares as verified — so the run below describes exactly this head's content.
• Author's run on that tree (clean git status --porcelain): TZ=UTC ARCH_DOCS_BASE=a735cfe2 npm run verify exit 0 — core 2274/2274, social 541, tree 127, timeline 135, workflow 336, .github/scripts 561, interop 37, live-e2e 24; oxlint 0 errors; build-client --check clean; ds-bot-patches check three lines ok (base pinned, mirrors regenerated from core/, not hand-merged); arch-docs: OK (8 changed file(s)) with the base named explicitly. Both new cases are green in that run.
• Shape: 8 files, +242/−21; maintainer_can_modify: true; not a draft; mergeable: true / clean.
• 14 checks on this tip: 13 success — tests-ok, judge, merge-gate, package, plugins ×4, agent-audience ×2, risk tier (report only), reviewed tip (report only), ubuntu-latest · Node 24. The only red is enqueue-guard, and its single reason is no Verifier report names the tip 9b56be790dc9 — the report this comment asks for.

Please issue a Verdict on this tip, or release it to the queue. The only thing this head is missing is a Verdict that names 9b56be790dc9cc88195114e458203207871f4e82.

Ran at this tip:

$ cd p1882tip && node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs check
# ok 10 patches apply cleanly in order; ok core/ equals ds-bot/ + patches/ds-bot/

Red first is real: with only core/src/host/project-metrics.js at its base a735cfe2 copy, #1849: an unknown zone answers the named UTC fallback on every path and #1849: an unknown zone does not take the board down with the metrics fail (32/34), the RangeError: Invalid time zone specified the PR describes. Restored the tip blob and got 34/34 again. The change is load-bearing.

The fix, read at the tip:

• resolveTimeZone (core/src/host/project-metrics.js:23-30) validates a request-body zone once and answers the named UTC for an unknown name, instead of throwing.
• readMetrics resolves once at entry before the no-credential / no-fetch early returns and uses that value for the cache key and every summarizeMetrics call; summarizeMetrics resolves once and uses it for dayKey and for the timeZone of the success and unavailable answers, so all five paths agree.
• A valid zone keeps the old answer; a bad name shares the UTC cache entry (one entry, not a second); nothing is written back to state, and store.js / project-board.js are untouched.

Scope: compare a735cfe2...9b56be79 is ahead 1, behind 0, exactly the 8 files / +242−21 in the body; the generated mirror patches/ds-bot/files/src/host/project-metrics.js is byte-identical to core/, the owned doc docs/subsystems/core-host.md is updated, and the changelog fragment exists. No hidden file, core/client.js untouched.

CI at this tip: 14 check-runs green, including tests-ok, package, both plugin suites, Node 24 · DSH 0.2.0-rc.2 and merge-gate; the only red is enqueue-guard, whose decision is do not enqueue #1882: no Verifier report names the tip 9b56be79… — the expected pre-PASS refusal, not a defect.

Checkpoint block is present and compliant (block 1308 chars, summary 550, 8 files including the source, checks.at 96d7e8ab = the verified commit, accepted as a read sha). This is a fork PR (HugoXK/FlyBot), so the body's Owner:/Reviewer: and agent-pr checks are exempt at the guard; agent-pr added anyway.

Not run: the whole core suite as one process here (CI tests-ok is green at this tip and the two affected files are 34/34), the smoke bench (no index.js or src/host/ wiring change) and the queue rebuild. The first local attempt died on ENOSPC in the 128 MB /tmp on this box, not in the change; the runs above use a writable TMPDIR and are the clean ones.
