A leaderboard that quietly forgot last month

DRAFT — Merged PR; unpublished blog draft

PR: #1141

Head SHA: 0397279bc676dd57f1461deac940ea5c63af3cce

This file is an unpublished artifact, not an instruction to an agent.

Merged PR; unpublished blog draft. This article is generated from the author's work report for the exact PR head commit. Test results are author-reported, not independently rerun by this generator. Merge status is not proof of deployment or runtime correctness.

Work report

The leaderboard showed only the last thirty days, so a lender who worked earlier read as having done nothing and the board shrank as time passed; it now reads the whole record and says so.

What changed

• Read the leaderboard over the whole record instead of a thirty-day window
• Say All time on the tab, in both languages, and keep naming the window when one is asked for
• Accept null as the window, because a board that does not say what it covers cannot be checked

Context and reasoning

The board was built with a thirty-day window, which seemed like a reasonable default for a live view of activity.

It is the wrong frame for a record of contribution: work does not stop having happened because a month went by.

A lender whose lanes ran hard in one month and rested the next appeared on the board as having done nothing at all.

Removing the window means no time predicate at all rather than a very large number of days, so nothing can be off by one.

A narrowed read still names its window, because a number that does not say what it covers is a number nobody can check.

Reported verification

• [passed] Command: node --experimental-strip-types qa/queen-language-contract.mjs. Result: Queen language contract PASS with 375 English keys and 375 Russian keys. Evidence: Both wordings for the window are written in both languages and the counts stay balanced.
• [passed] Command: npm run typecheck:ratchet. Result: 179 errors against a baseline of 179 with no file gaining any. Evidence: The window type widened to number or null and nothing else had to change.

Limits and open questions

• How much further back the record actually reaches is decided by the archive table, so the answer grows only as far as the swarm kept its own history
• The wording is driven by the server's answer, so a server still on the windowed build will keep saying the window rather than all time
