Open a run. Where you used to read "Rig position: Lead" next to a coloured dot, you now see your dog's face, drawn in the spot it occupied on the line.
What changes on screen
The page drew the same team twice. A row of small cards under the numbers — a dot, a name, "Rig position", "RPE". Then, further down, a rig diagram where the same dogs came back as identical generic pictograms. Two drawings, no link between them, and the photo you had uploaded on each dog's profile appeared in neither.
There is one drawing now. The rig, with the faces, and on each dog what the run left behind: its RPE as a badge, its verdict (OK, watch, rest), the kilometre where you dropped it if it left the line, and the welfare signal you overrode if you hitched it past an open alert.
"Rig position: Lead" is gone as a sentence. The dog is drawn at the front — writing it next to the drawing taught you nothing.
Three smaller gestures:
- Moving time and max speed move up in size; the rig and the team effort become chips. Two of them are measurements you come looking for, two are labels that place the run — they had no business weighing the same.
- The phase bar gets a legend. You can now read time stopped, which followed from your own numbers and was never shown.
- Stops open with their total: "7:41 stopped, over 5 stops — longest: 4:37". Before, it was five stacked durations and the addition was yours to do.
What nobody else sees
Your dogs' photos live in a private space. This page shows them only to members of your kennel, and each image is served through a signed link that expires after an hour — it cannot be copied, guessed, or outlive the day.
Nothing becomes visible to anyone who could not already see it. This change opens no door: it uses photos you had already uploaded, behind the same barriers as before.
What it does not do
This is not a place to add a photo. A dog's photo is added from its profile, in the Kennel, and nowhere else. You will not be able to drop one from a run's page, nor from the phone — mobile does not handle dog photos at all yet. That is not an oversight in this batch; it is a separate piece of work that has not started.
A dog without a photo is not punished. It keeps its pictogram, in a circle of its own colour, at exactly the same size as the others. That was in fact the common case while we were building: a team where two dogs out of twelve have a photo must still look right, not nag you into filling a form.
The drawing shows the rig at the start. If you changed the line along the way, the timeline in "What happened" tells that story, not the drawing. There is no animation and no scrubber: the drawing answers "how did I set out", the timeline answers "what moved".
You cannot fix the rig by tapping the drawing. The "Fix the rig" button has only moved to the top of the card, next to its title. It opens the same dialog as before.
Two decisions taken against the obvious
We nearly deleted the dog list entirely. That was the point of the work: one place per dog. Checking, we found the drawing and the list do not talk about the same dogs — the drawing only knows dogs seen by the rig capture, the list knows everyone on the run. A run entered by hand, an imported GPX file, or a dog you added afterwards because you had forgotten it: none of them appear in the capture. Deleting the list would have made dogs disappear from your page, silently, and you would only have noticed the day you went looking for one. So the list stays, but it now shows only the dogs the drawing does not place. It calls itself "No recorded position" only when a drawing comes before it: on a manual run those dogs are not "the others", they are the whole run.
We resisted the urge to make the photos bigger. A sixteen-dog rig has to fit on a screen without three scrolls. So the faces are small — enough to recognise a dog, not enough to admire it. If you want to look, its profile is one click away.
One last thing, not new but now legible: a dog's RPE runs from 1 to 10, team effort from 0 to 3. The page showed "RPE 1" right next to "Team effort 2/3" without ever saying which scale was which. It says it now, once, at the bottom of the card.
