The trendline slope fix was already correct — measured on the live chart, the
two rendered segments came out at screen slopes 0.4910 and 0.4903, collinear.
It still reproduced in the browser because the browser was not running it.
StaticFiles sends an ETag but no Cache-Control, and the asset URLs carried no
version, so nothing forced a refetch. A tab left open across an edit never
fetches at all: it keeps executing the JavaScript it loaded when the page was
first opened. Every fix since that tab was opened was invisible in it.
The page now stamps its own asset URLs with a digest of their contents and is
itself served no-store. Hashing rather than stamping mtimes, because a deploy
checks every file out fresh and would otherwise invalidate assets that never
changed.
This also removes a trap the README already half-documented for deploys: an
/api-only change leaves the HTML byte-identical, and until now a JavaScript
change could leave the served page byte-identical too.
The debug handle used to measure the geometry is kept deliberately. Chart
rendering bugs are invisible from the outside, and window.__chart.lineData()
against timeToCoordinate() is what settled this one.
