feat: add cascades, schedules and rotas - #13
Merged
Conversation
A rule says when; a cascade says what holds when. Ordered layers, each pairing a scope with what applies inside it, resolved the way a stylesheet is — the last layer to claim a moment wins. Resolution is one idea rather than a new sweep: a layer holds where its scope holds and no layer above it claims the moment, which is all(scope, not(any(the scopes above))) and something the rule interpreter already evaluates. Precedence therefore costs no new algebra, and the clipping, zone normalisation and laziness come along unchanged. Decided while building: - Values sit on layers, not on rules. A rule that carried one would make not() meaningless and the set algebra with it. - A replacing layer claims its whole scope and hands the question inwards, so what the replacement leaves out stays unassigned rather than falling through to the layers it outranks. That is the case a plain value cannot express: closing early on one day. - value and replace are separate fields. With one field the resolver would have to sniff the caller's own domain type, and for a cascade of rules the two forms are indistinguishable. - Unassigned time is absent from the stream rather than carrying an empty value. There is no such thing as the value of an unassigned moment. - Sameness for coalescing is Object.is: it splits an interval that could have merged rather than merging two a caller meant to keep apart. Overlap is settled by precedence only. Merging quantities — three staff plus two — needs a merge function whose shape is still open, and it is additive on top of this rather than a rewrite. Docs go with it, since api/ promises everything the package exports and concepts/ said none of this was built. Every example on the new page was run against a packed tarball and its output pasted in.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change adds precedence-based cascades, lazy valued resolution, schedule and rota builders, plain time and date forms, public exports, tests, and documentation for serialization and current limitations. ChangesCascade, schedule, and rota functionality
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds schedule and rota APIs, but a bounded correctness issue can truncate an opening returned by opensNext, and date-time input may silently become a whole-day rule; JSON consumers also need to know that parsed data does not regain schedule methods. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

From the CodeRabbit review: the ValuedStream contract said touching intervals count as coalesced when their values differ, which describes the merge condition backwards. Touching intervals with the same value are merged; a boundary that survives is one where the values differ. Same wording in docs/api/README.md. Three tests added while re-reading the code, all of which passed first time and none of which were covered: - a run split three ways by an overriding layer that assigns the same value comes back as one interval - a layer replacing with an empty cascade blanks its scope rather than letting the layers below show through - parseRule refuses a cascade, saying so, rather than half-reading it

✅ Action performedFull review finished. |
cascade and layer are Quando's words, not the domain's. Nobody running a
warehouse says "add a layer to the cascade"; they say we are open
weekdays nine to five, closed on bank holidays, and on the eleventh we
close at three.
So: two front doors named after the things people already have.
schedule().open(weekdays(), "09:00-17:00")
.closed(bankHolidays)
.on("2026-03-11", "09:00-15:00")
rota().assign(weekdays(), "alice").on("2026-03-11", "carol")
with isOpen, opensNext, openBetween, whoIsOn and shifts to ask the
obvious questions without resolving a stream by hand.
The point that makes it safe to start here: a Schedule *is* a
Cascade<boolean> and a Rota<V> *is* a Cascade<V>, the same trick that
makes a built rule an ordinary rule. resolve() reads one directly, and
the JSON is byte-identical to the hand-written cascade — there is a test
asserting exactly that, because it is the whole claim of the layer.
Reaching past the vocabulary is calling a different function on the same
object, not starting again.
Decided while building:
- Precedence is the order the sentence is said in. Each call outranks
the ones above it, so exceptions land where a reader expects without
having to know that later wins.
- .on() replaces rather than adds, so the usual hours do not show
through the afternoon an early closing dropped.
- "09:00-17:00" and "2026-03-11" are accepted wherever a rule is, and
are checked when written rather than when evaluated. That is a
deliberate difference from timeOfDay: this layer is for hand-written
schedules, where a typo is worth catching where it was typed.
- assign takes a const type parameter, so whoIsOn narrows to the names
actually assigned rather than widening to string.
Docs: a new schedules page, cascades demoted to what schedules are made
of, and both READMEs updated. 45 doc examples now run against a packed
tarball, 0 mismatches.
hughgrigg
changed the title
`.on()` said nothing about what happens on that day. Two different
things were hiding behind the one name, so they get two words:
schedule().hoursOn("2026-03-11", "09:00-15:00")
rota().swap("2026-03-11", "carol")
hoursOn says it sets the hours for that day, which is the part that
mattered: it replaces what was said before rather than adding to it, and
the name now carries that. swap is what a rota calls it.
They were never the same operation underneath either — a schedule's is a
replacing layer and a rota's is an ordinary one — so the shared name was
hiding that too.

The horizon can truncate the returned opening.
resolve clips intervals to the context. If within ends inside an opening, opensNext returns an Interval whose end is at.add(within) rather than the real closing time. The documented contract is "the next stretch it is open", so a caller reading period.end gets a short answer.
Consider re-resolving from the found start without an upper bound before returning.

that period’s start without an upper bound and returns the full opening
interval, preserving the existing undefined result when no open period is found.
From the CodeRabbit review. opensNext(at, within) resolved against a context ending at the horizon, and everything resolved against a context is clipped to it. So an opening that ran past the horizon came back ending *at* the horizon: asking at eight with two hours to look reported nine until ten, which reads as a closing time and is not one. The horizon bounds how far to look, not what is found. The stretch is now read again from its own start with nothing to clip it, so the end is when it really closes. This is deliberately different from next() on a rule, which clips its answer to the window it was given — the core is consistent about clipping and that is worth keeping. The domain layer promises "the next stretch it is open", and a truncated end breaks that promise rather than narrowing it. Documented in both places. Also fixes a comment in rota.test.ts that said three where the test takes two.

TC39 Temporal PlainDate.from date-time string ignores time component specification
💡 Result:
In the TC39 Temporal proposal, the Temporal.PlainDate.from() method is designed to parse date-related strings by extracting only the date components [1][2][3]. When a string containing a time component (e.g., 2021-07-01T12:00) is passed to Temporal.PlainDate.from(), the time portion is intentionally ignored [4][2][5]. This behavior is a deliberate design choice intended to provide convenience when working with external data [6][1]. By allowing strings that contain both date and time information to be used where only a date is required, the API avoids forcing developers to manually strip the time portion before parsing [6]. Key points regarding this behavior: - Compatibility: Temporal.PlainDate.from() accepts RFC 9557-compliant strings or valid subsets that include at least the date portion [2][3]. - Time and Offset Handling: While time and offset information is ignored, the parser will throw a RangeError if the string contains a Z (UTC) offset [2][3]. This is because Z implies an exact instant, and interpreting such a string as a local calendar date is often a logical error [6][2]. - Consistency: This "subsetting" strategy is applied across the Temporal API, where types extract only the information they require to fulfill their specific purpose [1]. - Overflow Option: Note that while the overflow option can be used to control behavior when passing object bags, it is ignored when parsing strings; string parsing follows its own strict validation rules [7][2][3].

PlainDate.from('2020-01-01T00:00Z')is problematic tc39/proposal-temporal#1751 - 7: Consistency between string and objects args in plainDate.from() tc39/proposal-temporal#2840
Reject date-time strings in the day shorthand.
Temporal.PlainDate.from(scope) ignores the time component, and dates later normalizes the value to the date portion. Therefore, asDays("2026-03-11T23:00") silently becomes the whole day 2026-03-11 instead of failing. Require a canonical date-only string before calling dates. Add a regression test for timestamp input.

2026-03-11T23:00 with the existing RangeError behavior, while preserving valid

From the CodeRabbit review. The schedules page said a stored schedule "can be read back and extended with the core", which is true of the document and misleading about the value: JSON.stringify omits methods — the trick that makes a schedule serialise as clean data — so JSON.parse hands back a cascade with no .isOpen on it, and nothing validates it either, since parseRule reads rules and there is no parseCascade. Now shown rather than asserted, with the round trip run: the document matches, resolve reads it, "isOpen" in back is false. Followed by the two consequences — validate at your own boundary, and nothing revives a Schedule from a cascade, so keep the building code if you want the methods. The other two comments in the review were re-posts of findings already fixed in 7810956, by fingerprint: the rota.test.ts comment count and the opensNext horizon truncation.

On the eleventh we close at three. As a value it either shuts the whole day or

replaceclaims the scopeand hands the question inwards:
The two hours the replacement left out are unassigned, not open: the base
hours do not show through what a claiming layer chose not to fill. Resolving
over 15:00–17:00 on the eleventh returns nothing at all.
Resolution is not a new sweep
The whole of precedence is one line of rule-building: a layer holds where its
scope holds and no layer above claims the moment, which is
all(scope, not(any(…the scopes above)))— something the interpreter alreadyevaluates. So clipping, zone normalisation and laziness come along unchanged,
and there is no second algebra to keep in step with the first.
It is quadratic in the number of layers, which is noted in the code. Layers are
few and the streams are lazy.

valueandreplaceare separate fields. With one field the resolverwould have to sniff the caller's own domain type, and for a

Object.is. It splits an interval that could have mergedrather than merging two a caller meant to keep apart.
Left open, deliberately
Overlap is settled by precedence only. Merging quantities — three staff plus
two, the higher of two tariffs — is the open half of core question 2, and its
shape is still a guess. Precedence is what a rota and a schedule need and what a
merge would be built on, so adding one later is additive rather than a rewrite.
Also not here, and said plainly on the new page:
parseRulechecks rules, notcascades, so a cascade round-trips unchecked for now; and the four queries take
a

Added after review: schedules and rotas
The feedback on the above was that
cascadeandlayerare Quando's words, notthe domain's — a developer meeting them has to learn Quando's internal model
before they can say "we close early on the eleventh". Fair, so the core now has
a front door named after the things people already have.
It is not a second world
The claim that makes this safe to start with, and the reason it is not a subset
with a cliff at the edge: a
Scheduleis aCascade<boolean>and aRota<V>is a
Cascade<V>— the same trick that makes a built rule an ordinary rule.resolvereads one directly, and the JSON is identical to the hand-writtencascade. There is a test asserting exactly that, since it is the whole claim:
So reaching past the vocabulary is calling a different function on the same
object, not starting again.
What that does not buy is a round trip back into a
Schedule.JSON.stringifyomits methods — the very trick that makes this serialise asclean data — so
JSON.parsereturns the cascade without.isOpenon it, andnothing validates it either, since
parseRulereads rules and there is noparseCascadeyet. The page shows that rather than asserting it:Decided while building
Precedence is the order the sentence is said in. Each call outranks the
ones above it, so exceptions land where a reader expects without anyone having
to learn that later wins.
The exception methods are named for what they do.

.swap(day, who)hands a day to someone else. They were one
.on()until review; the sharedname hid that a schedule's is a replacing layer and a rota's is an ordinary
one, and said nothing about which.
"09:00-17:00"and"2026-03-11"are checked when written, not whenevaluated. A deliberate difference from
timeOfDay, which takes any string andcomplains at query time: this layer is for hand-written schedules, where a typo
is worth catching where it was typed.

withinbounds the search, not the answer.opensNext(at, within)used toreturn an opening clipped to the horizon — asking at eight with two hours to
look reported nine until ten, which reads as a closing time and is not one.
The stretch is now re-read from its own start, so the end is when it really
closes:
That second line is deliberate.
next()on a rule clips its answer to thewindow it was given, like everything else in the core, and that consistency is
worth keeping; the domain layer promises "the next stretch it is open", which a
truncated end breaks rather than narrows. Both are documented. Say the word if
you would rather they agreed.
