Week 075 — Lost State Saving

Lost state saves. The refactor is grinding toward completion.

Week of April 27, 2026

Progress

The safe-to-lost state transition is working, with the exception of geolocation — the long/lat transition touched more places than anticipated and the map coordinates aren't flowing through correctly yet.

The ReportItemFoundCommand DTO had a with() function added. This is tedious, error-prone work when done by hand for a DTO with many fields. Claude was asked to review it; the implementation was written manually. The note: is this pointless busy work, or is it building understanding? The answer here was: it's building understanding, even if Claude could do it faster.

The Hard Part

The refactor keeps surfacing the same kind of gap: a new state is processed correctly but some adjacent data — coordinates, item properties — doesn't flow through at the same time. Each one is fixable in isolation, but they keep appearing.

Next Week

Wire all item property changes through state transitions. Complete geolocation in the lost state save.
